Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 275 Anger

Longevity Day is celebrated everywhere.There are not many servants in Anning Garden, and there is only one master, so it is quiet.

Mu Fan didn't eat dinner, so Xiaosong brought a plate of snacks and put them on the stone table in the back garden.He turned his head and saw Mu Fan standing there, looking in the direction of the palace without saying a word.

"My lord, come over and have something to eat, and then take some medicine." Xiao Song said.

"I can't take it, so bring the medicine."

"If you don't eat something to fill your stomach, you will hurt your spleen and stomach, and your body will never recover." Xiao Song said: "The Princess will be worried."

Mu Fan smiled wryly: "She is worried that I will not get well, and I am depending on her."

As he spoke, he sat down at the stone table and ate carefully.Xiao Song made medicinal food, and his cooking skills were very good, but he still couldn't swallow it.

The sky suddenly exploded with a bang, and it was dazzling and gorgeous. Xiao Song said happily: "There are fireworks!"

Mu Fan raised his head and stared blankly.The fireworks in the sky lit up and then scattered, scattered and brightened, and flickered off, reflecting him in red clothes in a daze.

Seeing him blankly, Xiao Song was very worried: "My lord, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year." The fireworks in the sky were reflected in his Pusu Wuhua eyes, and when they were clearly extinguished, they turned into a bustling scene.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, all the masters of the Chen Palace went to the palace for a banquet, and she was left alone in Mengzhu Residence, looking up at the sky full of fireworks and the brightly lit Tiansheng Palace in the distance.At that moment, her mood must be the same as his now!Lonely and helpless, depressed and panicked!
Wanting to love but not daring to love, seems to be able to grasp, but also seems to be scattered like sand between the fingers, wishing to hide her face and cry for a long time, but only laments, a cage that cannot be broken free!
He also remembered that on his birthday that year, she chased him step by step, hoping to cling to him.Later he was called into the palace by the queen mother, and she got very drunk.

At that time, she must have been terrified that he would be seduced by a certain woman, and that the queen mother would give him a beauty, and that he would bring back a concubine the next day.That kind of mood, just like him now, was terrified that Emperor Wenxuan of Tianshui would suddenly propose marriage to her, afraid that she would come back with a scroll of marriage decree.

There was a thin creaking sound outside suddenly, Xiaosong said: "The princess is back."

Mu Fan's eyes brightened slightly, and he finally got the focus: "Bring that thing here."

"Yes." Xiao Song rushed into the room immediately.

Ning Qing was in a very bad mood.

His plan was cut off like this.But she knew that she had already made preparations for the opening of the dance hall.

Because she is already the second largest merchant in Zhanjing, she is already considered a brand.So she let go of her hands and feet, and bought four shops in Zhanjing in one go. They have been renovated, and she is waiting for her to dance and attract the envy of all the noble women in Tianzhan.

At that time, she could confidently say that she came from a humble background, and the reason why she has such a good temperament is all due to learning this dance.Dancing is not for pleasing or entertaining, but for self-cultivation and spirituality.That didn't attract a large number of famous nobles to come here, and send their little noble daughter to her to learn dancing!Even noble daughters of a certain age will come to learn.

In order to make those people feel that this is a high-end place, she threw all the funds in her hand into it!

She never expected that she would do a somersault in what she is best at!

"Master Mu." Hui Ping said suddenly.

Ning Qing was about to go back to her room, when she heard Huiping's voice, she saw Mu Fan.The red clothes are shining, and they come here on the moon, with the sparkle of night charm and fairy.

"Young Master Mu is injured, and he is exposed more deeply. It is not suitable to go out." Ning Qing said lightly.

"Thank you Princess for your concern, my son is in good condition." Mu Fan stared at her with bright eyes, his pale lips evoked a smile, and for a moment, his ordinary face seemed to light up , to the fullest.

Several servant girls behind Ning Qing blushed.

Being stared at by him like this, her heart felt hot and couldn't help jumping, and then felt awkward again.She secretly hated her mood, and couldn't help feeling a little tired of Mu Fan, wishing she could stay away.

"Today Xiaosong brought back the medicine of Bingyulan from old doctor Zhong." Mu Fan said and handed her a glass bottle.

"Oh, thank you." Ning Qing didn't answer, but glanced at Huiping.

Hui Ping stepped forward and took the medicine.

"Xiaosong, did the old doctor of Yaozhong tell you how to use it?" Ning Qing said.

"Wipe it three times a day, and within half a month, the scars will almost be smoothed out. After a year and a half of careful care, it will definitely return to its original state." Xiaosong said.

"Great. Thank you." Ning Qing smiled authentically, then yawned, and said to Mu Fan, "I'm sleepy today, I'll go to rest first. Farewell."

She smiled politely at him, turned around and entered the room.

Xiao Song was very disappointed, the princess was really indifferent to the young master, and every time he saw the young master, he would avoid him as far away as possible.

"Go and prepare poplar twig golden dew, lotus seed and lotus leaf cake, green japonica porridge, and sugar-steamed crispy cheese, and send them over," Mu Fan said.

"Ah?" Xiaosong was puzzled, and said worriedly: "But now the Princess obviously hates you, Young Master, and you even gave her something. Wouldn't she hate and resent her even more?"

"Do as I say." Mu Fan said and returned to his garden.

"Yes." Xiao Song didn't dare to question anymore.He believes in the son, the son never does useless work, and never does thankless things.If it is thankless now, it must be a long line to catch big fish!

Ning Qing returned to the room, put on her make-up with a sullen face, took a hot bath, and when she came out again, there were already some snacks that Mu Fan had mentioned on the table.

Ning Qing was full of gas in the palace and didn't eat much. Now that she took a bath, she was really hungry. She sat down and ate. As soon as she ate it, she felt fragrant and delicious, and her mood improved. Halfway through eating, she found that it was full of What I like to eat.

In the past, she would have thought that Huiping prepared it, but now for some reason, she felt otherwise, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Master Mu asked Xiaosong to deliver it." Chunjuan said.

Ning Qing stopped responding for a while, and felt unreasonable anger in her heart. She threw the chopsticks and lay down on the bed.

"Girl." Hui Ping went out to Ning Qing's study for a while to help her tidy up the account book, and when she came back, she saw Ning Qing lying on the bed with a livid face.He waved his hand to let the spring rolls go out. "Is the girl still angry with Ji Fang'er?"

"Her matter only makes me depressed, but it doesn't make me so angry." Ning Qing said.

Hui Ping smiled, she has been with her for many years, how could she not know her temperament, "Then what is it for now?"

"That Mu Fan!" Ning Qing sat up from the bed, picked up the pillow and threw it away: "I hate him! Why does he have to live with me? I hate him just now! He just brought me food? What does he mean? Is he caring too much?"

Huiping was secretly surprised.Since leaving Tiansheng, Ning Qing's temperament has become very cold, and it is rare for her emotions to fluctuate like this.Instead of worrying, Huiping was secretly a little happy. It's better to be emotional than indifferent.This is more like a person!
"Girl, does he like you?" Hui Ping said, "Accordingly, we begged him to come here, and he has no reason to be courteous to you, and the way the servants looked at the girl from him clearly showed admiration." .”

Ning Qing felt blocked again, she curled her lips in displeasure: "Who wants him to like it!"

She also felt it.The eyes he looked at her were too hot and gentle, she was not a log or a dead person, and she had a relationship, she could feel the loving eyes all at once.

Well, I didn't feel it clearly before, thinking that I was too careless or too narcissistic, but now as soon as I live in her house, he doesn't hide it!

Don't mention how angry Ning Qing is, she always feels like she has stepped into a big hole!Moreover, there is a feeling that it is easier to invite God than to send God away!

Ning Qing was so angry that she grabbed her hair and rolled on the bed, humming, almost suffocating tears.

Seeing Ning Qing's cute and stupid behavior, Hui Ping wanted to laugh.The girl seems to be returning more and more to the past.

"Girl... Mr. Mu, it's good!" This was Huiping's final conclusion.

Ning Qing was so angry that she fell backwards, turning her elbows outward! "He's a big devil! He kills people without blinking!"

Hui Ping choked, this is indeed a problem!
"Girl, the prince is here!" Chun Juan ran in happily.Compared with Mr. Mu, Chunjuan obviously prefers Shui Jingnian more.

Ning Qing immediately got up from the bed and ran outside: "Brother Shui."

"Ning'er." Shui Jingnian yelled, then sat down on the chair, poured himself a large cup of tea, gulped down half of it, and then regained his strength and let out a hard breath.

"Brother Shui, it's already eleven o'clock in the evening, and I haven't gone back to sleep yet." Ning Qing tilted her head to look at him.I saw his face dignified and gloomy.

"Let me tell you, I have already rejected that Baili Begonia, and my father will not allow me to marry her." Shui Jingnian said with a sigh of relief, and looked at her with burning eyes.

Ning Qing was taken aback by his look, then turned her face away to avoid his gaze: "It's eleven o'clock, go back to bed quickly! I'm going to bed too!" She yawned as she spoke.

When Shui Jingnian saw her like this, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he was disappointed for a while.

"I'm already 22 years old." Shui Jingnian hesitated for a while before picking up his words: "Father Emperor promised that as long as I research the ammunition, I will be allowed to marry independently."

"This is a good thing." Ning Qing smiled, then became worried again: "But the ammunition... should not be handed over to the emperor. It is not needed in this era."

"Heh..." Shui Jingnian laughed at himself: "This era doesn't need it! It doesn't need people like me! It needs someone who is as good at dancing as Shui Jingdong or Yao Guifei...I'm in the wrong era!"

"Brother Shui, I... didn't mean that." Ning Qing regretted secretly.

"You're right." Shui Jingnian waved his hand. "But the things of this era force me to do so. What happens in this era has nothing to do with me! I just want to live well!"

Ning Qing sighed slightly, who said otherwise.

"I'll be away for about a month." Shui Jingnian looked at her suddenly: "You wait for me to come back."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched her head. Ning Qing wanted to avoid it, but she couldn't bear to avoid it. She looked up at him: "Brother Shui..."

Before she could speak, his slender fingers covered her delicate lips.His eyes were gloomy, and his voice was pleading: "Don't talk yet, okay? At least wait until I come back!"

At least let him work hard for a while!Instead, being rejected by her all of a sudden, he didn't even have a chance to work hard!

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away quickly.The warmth and tenderness of her lips were still on her hands.

Looking at the distant background, Ning Qing couldn't help squatting down, hugging her knees and crying.

She understood Shui Jingnian's intentions, but she really regarded him as her elder brother!It is impossible to be the kind of husband and wife!And she has already planned not to marry for the rest of her life.

She has never explicitly refused, because she does not want to lose this family relationship or friendship.

Between men and women, as long as you have confessed your love, you will never go back to the beginning!

Shui Jingnian went all the way out of Anning Garden.Riding on the horse, the cold wind blows away his melancholy.

Pingxing said, "Master is going away for a month?"

"Of course." Shui Jingnian said: "Even if I can make the ammunition now, at least I have to show it. Otherwise, what will the father think of me? Say that I only take it out when something happens?"

Although he doesn't want to care about this era, he still doesn't want to cause war.Not to mention, Ning'er lives in a war-torn era.

He had to do some research to keep the lethality of the ammunition to a minimum and have a good damage value, which was only enough for Emperor Wenxuan to defend himself, not to use it in war.

"Princess, she..." Ping Xing was most worried about this.

"She will never reject me." Shui Jingnian said: "After I come back, I won't talk to her about feelings, I won't talk about love with her, I just say that I can't find a suitable one, and she is already sixteen. I'm also worried about her marriage, and I'm afraid that she will be forced to marry, and then she can only choose me. Isn't there a saying that when XX is not married, they will live with each other!"

Pingxing thought hard for a long time, but he still couldn't think of where it came from. "What about Princess Baili? She doesn't seem to give up easily."

"As long as Father doesn't agree, let her make trouble! As long as I show my value, Father will not allow me to marry a foreign princess!"

Pingxing glanced at Shui Jingnian guiltily: "My lord, this servant doesn't know that Princess Baili and you have known each other since childhood."

Shui Jingnian's eyes sank.If that woman was crazy, she would be easily dismissed, but why did she have a relationship with the original owner?
The current him is not the sad and beautiful young man who only knows how to play the piano and compose poems. This is completely different from him, isn't it?

As long as that Baili Haitang gets to know him better, he should be disillusioned!

Baili Haitang seems to be a woman with personality, as long as she finds that she has a big difference with the original owner, she probably won't continue to pester her.

Thinking of this, Shui Jingnian felt that things were not as complicated as imagined.

……

The next morning, Ning Qing woke up with dark circles under her eyes.

Chunjuan walked in: "Princess, did Master Biao and his concubine ask you to have breakfast in the lobby?"

Ning Qing sternly responded, but it was hard to refuse.After all, she was the one who said they were relatives, if she refused, it wouldn't be suspicious!Besides, she didn't have a good reputation for treating her aunt's family poorly.

Ning Qing had no choice but to go to the main hall.

Mu Fan and Mrs. Mu had already sat down, and Mrs. Mu had already sat down. Mrs. Mu saw her as if she was seeing her own aunt and niece, and said, "Why did you come here? Your cousin asked Xiaosong to prepare it for you early in the morning. Medicinal food!"

cousin?Ning Qing hated it even more when she heard this title.Cousin or something, I really hate it the most!
Ning Qing sat down, and there was already a bowl of yam porridge in front of her.

"Cousin, eat more." Mu Fan looked at her with a smile, and put a bun for her.

Ning Qing curled her lips and didn't eat his.He casually ate a few mouthfuls of yam porridge: "I'm busy, so eat slowly, auntie!"

"Cousin, wait for me." Mu Fan followed up: "I just came to Zhanjing, so I didn't have a chance to go shopping."

"Chunjuan, call He Sheng and go out with Master Biao." Ning Qing hehe.

"I'll just follow you," Mu Fan said.

"I'm here for business."

"I'll take care of the business with you." Mu Fan said with a smile, "While shopping, I'll ask my cousin for some business experience, but you know our business failed miserably!"

Ning Qing was trembling with anger, and snorted: "I'm dizzy, I'm not going! Go back to the room and rest."

As he spoke, he quickly walked back to the room, leaned on the bed, and closed his eyes.His face was indescribably gloomy.

"Xiaosong, my cousin didn't eat well just now, so I'll make some appetizers for you." Mu Fan said.

Xiaosong remembered Ning Qing's appearance when he returned to the room, and the young master was still bumping into him, so he had a toothache, but the young master's order could not be disobeyed, so he immediately went into the kitchen.

After a while, he made several breakfasts and sent them to Ning Qing's room.

The spring rolls took it and walked in carefully.She felt that Ning Qing didn't want to see that young master Biao, but Ning Qing didn't express it clearly. Now that he was sending something, she couldn't refuse it, so she had to send it in.

"The county master..."

Ning Qing looked up and saw Chunjuan holding a tray of food, and immediately thought of Mu Fan.Furious, he walked over and knocked everything over with a bang.

"Who asked you to send it in? Can't you recognize who is the master of this family?" Ning Qing shouted angrily.

Chunjuan was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop: "Princess...the servant is convicted! The servant just saw that the princess didn't eat much..."

She has been with the princess for two years. Although the princess is indifferent, she has never lost her temper with their servants. This is the first time Ning Qing has been so angry.

"Girl." Hui Ping walked in.Seeing Ning Qing's gloomy face, Chunjuan knelt down tremblingly and sighed.Immediately sent spring rolls: "You go out."

Chunjuan breathed a sigh of relief as if he had won the favor, and ran out while wiping away tears.

Ning Qing snorted, leaned back on the bed, face inward.

Huiping didn't know what to say for a moment.In the past two years, the girl had bruises on her face, but there were also many admirers, so the girl ignored them.Although Mr. Mu is now living in their house, it's not like this!
If you don't like it, just reject it, why bother to be so sullen!

"Girl, you just need to make it clear to him, don't get mad at yourself." Hui Ping said.

"I don't think I can explain that person clearly!" Ning Qing said angrily. "Why is that man like this, can't you see that I hate him?"

"Girl, why do you hate him?" Hui Ping frowned. "You seem to hate him even more than the previous Yao Gaoyuan. But this servant thinks Yao Gaoyuan hates him even more. Mr. Mu... really didn't do anything. He just cared more about you."

Ning Qing choked and didn't speak.Hands tightly pinched the sheets under the body.
