Chapter 499 Alright
In Du's house, Mrs. Chen told the servant girl: "When you see Jiang Bei, come back and ask him to come see me." After a pause, she said, "Don't ask Jiang Nan, you send someone to wait at the door, and Jiang Bei will take him directly when he returns home." come over."

"Yes."

In the evening, the servant girl brought Jiang Bei over.

"Ma'am." Jiang Bei saluted, with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Have you found your house? It's been five days. If you can't find it, I'll ask Shopkeeper Zhuang and Butler Yao to find a way for you?" Chen asked.

"I, I..." Jiang Bei hesitated.

Chen did not force him, but just looked at him quietly, waiting for his reply.

Jiang Bei was unwilling to leave the Du family in every possible way.He felt that if he left the Du family, he might not be able to protect his sister.He always felt that moving out was a wrong decision.

But thinking of his sister's obsession and the young master's words, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, I can find it. Give me another day, and we will move out the day after tomorrow."

As long as you don't particularly care about the rent, you can always find something you like by asking a middleman.So the house was not hard to find, and he found it the first few days.It's just that he couldn't make up his mind to move out, so he didn't rent it.Tomorrow, you only need to pay the rent and sign a contract.

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Okay, if you can't find it, just tell us."

"Yes, thank you, madam." Jiang Bei cupped his hands, and seeing that Mrs. Chen had no other orders, he withdrew.

When he was leaving the hospital, he met Du Fangling, the third girl, who came in, and hurriedly avoided to the side and saluted.When Du Fangling came in with two servant girls, he withdrew.

Du Fangling went into the room and sat down, and asked Chen Shi, "Has he found the house yet?"

"Say no, let me give him another two days."

"Hmph, white-eyed wolf." Du Fangling didn't have much opinion of Jiangbei, but he had a lot of opinions about Jiangnan.

"You all go out." Chen ordered the maids and women.

Seeing them go out, she said to Du Fangling: "When Ning Geer brought them back, he told me that these brothers and sisters might not be able to be servants at ease, let me treat them better, even if You can't be kind, and don't make enemies. So it's better not to say that."

Du Fangling didn't know there was such a thing, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Jiangbei is fine. Jiangnan is a smart person at first glance. Because she looks good and has a high spirit, otherwise she would not have made such a move. Xiao is thinking about marrying Master Qi. I guess she still has a lot of money." I want to make Young Master Qi be fascinated by her as soon as he sees her, and then make a life and death fight for the family to agree to marry her as his official wife."

Du Fangling was stunned by Jiangnan's "ambition": "How dare she think?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head: "That's exactly the case. Brother Ning let them out very readily. He didn't want to redeem them, but gave them ten taels of silver to settle down. He was afraid that Jiangnan would hate us and get a chance to retaliate in the future. Brother Ning As I said, maybe she thinks too badly about Jiangnan, and the little girl is not so thoughtful, and she won't be so ungrateful, but it is always right for us to be careful in doing things and take precautions."

Du Fangling nodded and agreed with Du Jinning's approach very much: "It should be like this. With her appearance, even if she was a servant, she was from a good family. If she has the heart to climb up, she may succeed. I can't show favor , and don’t make enemies, this is too true.”

"Your sister's marriage hasn't been settled yet, so don't talk about it. I'm afraid there will be side effects." Chen urged again.

She knew that Du Fangling was not someone who acted frivolously and liked to show off, but she was worried that she would talk about it when chatting with the maids.There is a big-hearted girl like Jiangnan in the family, and Mrs. Chen is worried.

Du Fangling also knew what Chen meant, so she quickly assured her, "No, don't worry."

"Are you here for something?" Chen asked.

"It's not like I'm getting married in a month. I want to come over and ask, what about the relatives in the county? Do you want to notify?"

Originally, the married woman shouldn't worry about the matter of getting married, but Mrs. Chen is very tired of taking care of the affairs of the house, and Du Fangling really can't bear her to work so hard.Moreover, she married Lu Xiaobei, who was considered half of her own, so she didn't pay much attention to it, so she took care of the dowry, furniture, wedding banquet and other things.

"I'll discuss this with Brother Ning and then decide." Mrs. Chen felt a headache when she thought of those people in the county.

In the past two years, she has lived comfortably, and she really doesn't want to see those people.If Du Chensheng and Niu Shi came to the wedding, there would definitely be a commotion.They managed to gain a firm foothold in Fucheng, they have a good relationship with their neighbors, and their reputation is good. If Du Chensheng and Niu's made a fuss, their reputation would really stink.

If this affects Du Fanghui's marriage, it will be a big loss.What's more, Du Jinning is afraid that she will be pointed out in the academy, and the gentlemen don't want to see her.

Thinking of this, she immediately made up her mind: "Don't invite your grandparents, just invite your uncle and aunt. In order not to let your grandfather and others know, don't let your uncle and grandpa know."

Du Fangling nodded: "I think so too."

"Don't worry, wait until your younger brother comes back to discuss it. Even if you want to invite your uncle and aunt, you don't need to notify in advance, just send someone to bring them up in the first two days, so as not to cause trouble."

Because there are more servants in the family, the mother and daughter are much more careful when speaking than before.Even though they knew that Du Jinning was a girl, they would often call her "brother" in their mouths, for fear of being overheard by the maidservants and causing disaster.

……

"Du Jinning, let's go and eat."

"Du Jinning, how do you solve this interception problem?"

"Du Jinning, my mother made some snacks and brought them for you to have a taste."

Qi Muyuan looked at Du Jinning who was always lively beside him, his eyes were gloomy and lost.

There is no harm without comparison.

In the past, he and Du Jinning were inseparable. He never knew that his popularity was so poor, while Du Jinning's popularity was so good.

Now that we have left, because of his cold face and seriousness, the classmates are a little afraid of him, and they don't dare to get close to him.On the other hand, Du Jinning, there are still so many people around her who show affection to her and are willing to make friends with her.

So Qi Muyuan found sadly that if he was not with Du Jinning, he seemed to have no friends; but Du Jinning, she would never lack friends by her side.

Qi Muyuan doesn't care if he has friends, but a fact is in front of him, which he can't avoid: Du Jinning has too many friends, maybe one day, she will forget her former friend, and she will be strangers ever since.

Thinking of this, Qi Muyuan felt anxious and uncomfortable.Now that Du Jinning ignored him, he felt so uncomfortable.What should he do if he is a stranger?
why?Why did it become like this?
Du Jinning, she can't coax her anymore, make a smile and apologize?Maybe, maybe he will forgive her?
Xu Chengyuan saw Qi Muyuan's dejection.He knew how good these two people were before, so it's a pity to ignore them.

He persuaded Du Jinning in private: "You might as well go and show him your favor, maybe he won't be angry."

"No, he's used to it." Du Jinning refused to give in.

Xu Chengyuan had no choice but to persuade Qi Muyuan again: "If you have any misunderstandings, can't you talk about it? If you continue to make trouble like this, you can't even be friends."

Seeing that Qi Muyuan didn't speak, but was a little moved, he continued to encourage: "Du Jinning is the most soft-hearted. You don't need to apologize to her, as long as you take the initiative to talk to her, she won't be angry."

Qi Muyuan blinked, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."
