Chapter 145
Ning Shuangyu secretly tugged on Aunt Lin's dress, signaling her not to make trouble at this time, is she afraid that she won't be able to punish this bitch?

"It's my sister's fault, sister don't take offense." Ning Shuangyu blessed Ning Erlan with a smile, with a face of shame and resignation.

Aunt Lin didn't expect her impetuous and arrogant daughter to do this, so she gritted her teeth and blessed herself. "I was negligent just now, please don't blame Third Miss."

"Of course I won't blame Auntie." Ning Erlan turned around and walked into the Cixuan Yuan.

Xinyue supported Ning Erlan and when she was about to cross the threshold, she turned to Aunt Lin and said, "Aunt Lin can't use 'I' in front of Miss in the future, she should call herself 'maid and concubine'."

"You!" Aunt Lin clenched her fists secretly, bitch, bitch!Sooner or later, I want you to die badly, let's see if you can still be so arrogant!
Ning Shuangyu looked at Ning Erlan's back, with a sneer on her lips.The last time Wei Ziming sent someone to look for Ning Guoan, she just overheard it outside. Knowing that Wei Ziming no longer wanted to marry Ning Erlan, she almost went crazy with joy.Thinking about it, Wei Ziming was just on a whim, but now he is bored again, seeing how arrogant Ning Erlan will be in the future.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandma." Walking into the room, Ning Erlan looked at the old lady who was sipping pastry and said.

The old lady raised her eyes to look at her, and the cloudy eyes were full of calculating light like looking at the goods. "Get up."

"Yes."

"Old lady, Second Miss and Aunt Lin are here."

"Let them in."

Not long after, Aunt Lin's voice was heard. "Old madam, you have been feeling unwell for a while, why did you get up so early? The doctor said, I want you to take a rest, otherwise it will be bad for your health." As he spoke, he walked to the old madam twisting his waist , rubbing her shoulders.

Only then did the old lady show a little smile on her face. "I know you are a filial person." After finishing speaking, his eyes seemed to look around in her room, and then said: "Now why is there another person serving you around you? What about the old slave?"

Hearing this, Aunt Lin's eyes turned red, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped away the tears that didn't exist at the corner of her eyes. "The old lady doesn't know something. Nanny Lin is in such a miserable state...that face has been beaten so badly." In the latter sentence, Aunt Lin told the truth. Yesterday, Nanny Lin was beaten thirty times. After the slap, his entire face was swollen, and his facial features were almost invisible.

"What's the matter? How could you be beaten when you're doing well? I'm afraid you've done something wrong and you'll be punished."

Ning Erlan picked up the tea on the table, lifted the lid of the cup, blew on it, and took a small sip.This old lady is really "saving", this tea is probably not much better than the rough tea that the servants drink.

She came today knowing that Aunt Lin would definitely bring up what happened yesterday, but so what?

Hearing what the old lady said, Aunt Lin looked at Ning Erlan cautiously, as if she was afraid of something.

The old lady followed her gaze and snorted coldly.But before she could speak, Ning Erlan said first: "Grandmother, my granddaughter was very tired just after returning home yesterday, who would have thought that she would almost be splashed by the scalding hot water from those short-eyed dog servants just after entering the door?" Not only did those slaves not know their mistakes, but they also insisted that their father made them do this. The granddaughter was furious. Could it be that her father made them disrespect their master? You know, if the hot water really splashed on the granddaughter’s body, that was another toss.”

"Really?" The old lady turned her face and glared at Aunt Lin. That's not what Nanny Lin said yesterday when she rushed over eagerly to complain. Even if she didn't like Ning Erlan, she would never allow such things to happen. In the Ning Mansion, if it gets out, won't someone poke her back?
"Mother, Fifth Sister and all the servant girls were there yesterday, so it is absolutely true."

Aunt Lin was robbed by Ning Erlan for a while, but now she couldn't say what she wanted to say, and instead she pushed all the blame on Nanny Lin. She was so angry that her chest heaved, and her long nails dug into her flesh. Can't get out either.

"So the granddaughter punished them with [-] slaps, which is also a lesson for them."

"Well, if you don't know how to be vigilant next time, you will sell it directly."

Ning Erlan chuckled lightly and stopped talking.

"Old lady..." How could Aunt Lin be willing to lose the battle like this, and wanted to say something more.

"Okay, you go and stand." The old lady's attitude was not as warm as before, and a lot colder.

The old lady looked up at Ning Erlan. "Yesterday, when Aunt Ming and Qing Yan came to greet me, they mentioned it to me, saying that there are too few people serving in your yard. I think it is true. You are also the daughter of the Ning Mansion. Naturally, the meeting cannot be too much. It's simple, today I will let Ren Yazi bring twenty people here, and you can choose a few of them to serve by your side." After the old lady finished speaking, she signaled Mother Fang beside her to go down and let people come over.Of course, she did this not because she cared about whether there was really no one around Ning Erlan, but because she was afraid that people who came to Ning's mansion would find out, and she felt that she would lose face.

At this time, Aunt Ming, Aunt Zhao and others all arrived at the Cixuanyuan.

"Greetings to Mrs. Lai."

"Get up and wait by the side."

"Yes."

Several people pushed aside.Only Aunt Ming was left standing in the room.

"Old Madam, Missy caught a cold yesterday, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to greet you today."

"Forget it, let her rest well."

"Yes, when I came in just now, I saw a lot of people outside the courtyard. The old lady wants the third lady to choose a maid?"

"Well, after hearing what you said yesterday, I also feel that there are fewer people serving in this girl's yard, and it's time to add a few more people."

Hearing this, Aunt Ming turned to Ning Erlan with a submissive expression. "Third Miss, don't blame me for talking too much. It's the Eldest Miss who said that the third Miss is happy and kind-hearted, and the two maids serve her personally. sentence."

"I will not blame Aunt Ming for her kindness."

Aunt Zhao looked up at Ning Erlan, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After the outside was ready, a group of people were invited out.

"Hey old madam, long time no see. I heard that you are going to choose a maidservant for the young lady of the mansion today. I have brought you all the best ones without stopping." Ren Yazi is a woman in her fifties. It looks like he has two points of friendship with the old lady.

The old lady laughed. "Knowing that you are a clever talker, let her choose slowly."

Ning Erlan walked up to the steps and looked at the people standing at the bottom, all of whom were only thirteen to fifteen years old.

After looking across the faces of all the people, he chose two second-class maids who seemed to be more peaceful, and three third-class maids, and then stopped choosing.

The old lady glanced at those people, but said nothing. "Since they are all here, you can choose two." This was said to Ning Shuangyu.

Ning Shuangyu smiled. "Thank you, grandma." As he spoke, he stepped forward and chose two good-looking ones.

"Send these two to Qing Yan when the time comes. The matchmaker will settle the account at the office in a while. Well, I'm tired too, you all go back."

"Yes."

"Xinchen, take them back to the yard first."

The fancy-dressed Aunt Mei let out a cold snort when she walked past Aunt Ming. "You'll find a way in time. But you're going to lose your money."

Aunt Ming's complexion did not change. "It's what we should do to think about the young lady in the mansion, so how can we hope that it will not come to nothing?"

"For the sake of the lady in the mansion, hmph, I'm afraid she thought she hugged the big tree of Zhongyong Wang's mansion, right? But looking at her like that, she won't accept your affection, I'm afraid your money will be wasted, huh Hehe..." Aunt Mei smiled coquettishly and drifted away.But she found out that Aunt Ming said that she wanted to add a few maids to Miss San, and she even took out some of her own money as a subsidy!
Aunt Ming raised her eyes to look at her back, and the corners of her lips curled into a strange arc. "Is it a white flower, of course I know..."

On the other side, after Ning Erlan left the Cixuanyuan, she slowed down her pace a little. "Third Miss..."

Sure enough, Aunt Zhao's voice came from behind Mei.

"How is Miss San?"

"I'm sorry for Aunt Zhao. It's better now."

"I will be relieved to see Miss San come back safely." Ning Erlan's eyes lightly fell on Aunt Zhao's face, seeing that there was no strange expression on her face, but a genuinely worried expression for her. , the smile on his face is more sincere.

I can't blame her for this, I can't live without this kindness.

"Miss San, this servant wanted to see you yesterday, but she must have been tired just after she came back, so she didn't go in after arriving at Jingyu Courtyard. So... I saw two maids sneaking outside Peeking at Third Miss, I don't know what I want to do..."

"I'm afraid they came here to inquire about the news. Aunt Zhao is interested, I will pay attention."

"It's thanks to the third lady that the servant is able to have today. It is the duty of the servant to serve the third lady." After Ping An gave birth to her son, Aunt Zhao knew that relying on Ning Erlan was absolutely the right choice.

"Xinyue, among the gifts given by Princess Zhongyong yesterday is a brocade material, you can send it to Aunt Zhao later."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao was overjoyed, although the Ning family was considered a wealthy family, but now that the old lady is in charge of the middle income, the money is tightly grasped, which is two points stricter than when Aunt Lin was in charge. Originally there were four sets of dresses in one season, but now there are only two sets.Now that Concubine Lin is favored by the master again, and she knows how to please the old lady, the responsibility of the management will fall back to Concubine Lin's hands!Aunt Lin bought the dresses for this season. No matter how powerful the old lady is, she is old and lacks energy. It will be a matter of time before the power returns to Aunt Lin.

Her natal family was originally poor and had no money left to buy new clothes. Now Miss San gave this piece of satin very timely.

"Thank you, Miss San, for your reward."
