Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 336

Second Master Ning asked the housekeeper to go down to prepare meals, then ran back to the house to discuss Ning Miao's affairs with Mrs. Gu.

The old lady Ning suddenly couldn't find anyone, and she was almost pissed off.But there were too many people coming and too few servants, so she and Uncle Ning and his wife were busy making arrangements.

After about one stick of incense, finally four tables of chairmen, two tables of men and two tables of women were set up in the main hall.They also set up food for the soldiers who carried things to come down.Because Song Zhuo brought too many people, the Ning family's old house and new house could be filled.

Song Zhuo sat at the same table with Zhang Jing, General Protector of the Country, Chen Guohou and Yongshenhou from Yuecheng.Uncle Ning and Second Master Ning took their sons to a table with Zhao Zhixian and others, and Mrs. Ning took her two daughters-in-law to sit with Princess Chen and the noble ladies.

Ning Xiang didn't come, and unmarried girls were not allowed to attend.

When everyone was halfway through eating, a woman in white suddenly walked in from the outside.Behind her was a little maid who came in with Qin in her arms.

The woman in white looks like that, she's actually pretty, but she's just plain pretty.But what stood out the most was her aura... well, not that it was noble.It's a kind of pretentious, dog-like arrogance.

She raised her chin slightly, unable to lift her eyes, as if she was a princess, with an air of aloofness that everyone had to support her.That look, don't mention it makes people feel uncomfortable and annoying.

When Old Madam Ning and Princess Chen saw Ning Miao, they almost spit out a mouthful of food.

Those who knew her all looked curious, but most of them didn't know her here.The surroundings were quiet, and they all looked up at her, muttering in their hearts, who is this woman?To actually appear here with such a dead face!
Seeing Ning Miao's small chin slightly lifted, the maid placed the piano not far from the main table, where Song Zhuo was facing, Ning Miao sat down, and then began to play the music.

This piece...actually played quite well, but it's too gaudy!
Everyone was stunned, and all of them glanced at Second Master Ning, the head of the family, with weird faces. This... the day of the appointment, it's not appropriate to invite a prostitute to play the piano!

Gu Shi also felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, but when Ning Miao played the piano, she laughed.Because she thinks that Ning Miaoqin plays very well!
Second Master Ning also felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he was relieved to see Ning Miao's extraordinary performance.He is very confident in Ning Miao's piano.He is a person who loves to listen to the qin. He used to listen to it in Hualou, good and bad, he listened to it all over the place. Not only does he know himself as a qin player, but many of his friends think that his appreciation level is good.

And the best violin he has ever heard is the violin of Miss Xiangyu, the number one player in Nuanchunlou.Not only did he think it was good, but everyone who listened to the music with him appreciated it. Miss Xiangyu's piano is famous in Yuecheng.

Ning Miao, the daughter, he and the Gu family spent a lot of effort to cultivate, hoping to cultivate a golden phoenix.Let Ning Miao learn everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.So Ning Miao felt that she was different from the other sisters, she knew more and was more talented than all the sisters, that's why she was so proud.

And Ning Miao learned the piano best.Second Master Ning also pointed her out.After several years of practice, Second Master Ning felt that Ning Miao played better than Xiangyu.

Seeing that Ning Miao played so well, Second Master Ning and Gu Shi nodded secretly.But the other people's faces became weirder the more they heard it, and they all stared at Second Master Ning in astonishment.

Second Master Ning was startled, there was something wrong, he pointed at Ning Miao and said, "Haha, it's really good."

The corner of an official's mouth twitched: "Hehe..."

Second Master Ning glanced at Song Zhuo's expression again, but Song Zhuo's expression became colder and colder. Zhang, the general protecting the country beside him, couldn't hold it anymore. With a puff, he spewed out a sip of tea, and he wanted to laugh out loud. , But thinking that this is the day when Song Zhuo was hired, he didn't dare to take Song Zhuo's face, so he had to hold back with all his strength.

Zhang Jing suffocated his laughter so much that he almost hurt internally, and finally couldn't take it anymore, he turned to look at Second Master Ning: "This...Second Master Ning, right..."

"Yes! This is the general who protects the country!" Second Master Ning immediately bowed his waist and smiled.

"I want to say...cough..." Zhang Jing held back his laughter again, with a serious expression on his face: "However, today is also the day of the appointment of the son of the prince. The main purpose is to marry each other for a hundred years and grow old forever. Such a solemn On this occasion, there are so many noble ladies present, it seems not good for Second Lord Ning to invite a prostitute to play and sing!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent, and they all cast approving glances.

Second Master Ning and Mrs. Gu were startled, and turned into anger from embarrassment. Even if this was the general protecting the country, they wanted to stab back. Who knew that they were about to open their mouths when they met everyone's approving expressions. Words stuck in throat.

Could it be that everyone here thinks Ning Miao is a prostitute?

Over there, Ning Miao was playing very attentively, especially as the surroundings became more and more quiet, she felt that everyone was captured by her piano sound, and was thinking that when her piano sound stopped, there would be thunderous applause. Unexpectedly, Zhang He opened his mouth and said-a whore!
Ning Miao was so angry that she slapped the strings with a "bang", everyone was startled and looked at her.

Ning Miao was furious and stood up: "Who do you call a prostitute? Who is a lowly prostitute!"

Zhang is actually the third-rank general protecting the country, how can he let others shout and shout: "You are not a prostitute, where did you come from? What kind of piano!"

Ning Miao raised her head proudly: "I am Ning Miao. I am the cousin of Prince Chen!"

"She is my daughter." Gu said anxiously. "It's not a whore."

The surroundings were stunned!I don't know what to say for a while!Everyone glanced at Ning Miao and Ning Erye couple with strange eyes.

Mrs. Zhao chuckled: "Although it is a merchant, it is still a decent family. It is an innocent girl's house, and it is not a talent show for noble girls. How is it different from a prostitute when they suddenly come out to play and sing? Which one?" A girl from an innocent family will play and sing among a group of elders! Isn’t this the act of a prostitute?”

"Mrs. Zhao!" Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth and shut up the whore, Gu Shi wanted to rush over and tear her mouth off.

"Since you're not a prostitute, why did you come out to play and sing?" Song Zhuo's beautiful eyes shot over coldly, making people shiver for no reason. "Get back!"

In any case, she is also Ning Qing's cousin, who actually did such a frivolous thing, Song Zhuo should not mention it.

When Ning Miao was drunk by Song Zhuo, she was angry and angry, but she suddenly wanted to use the teacup many years ago, and her body shook for no reason.

Second Master Ning turned pale with shock, fear and anxiety.The original plan was that when Ning Miao showed off her piano skills, everyone present would appreciate her, and Song Zhuo would be amazed, so she accepted Ning Miao. From then on, Ning Miao skyrocketed.He never expected that this result would be like this!

A prostitute... how could he be misunderstood as a prostitute!

Don't mention how embarrassing Second Master Ning is.And Song Zhuo let Ning Miao go, this great opportunity is about to slip away again!This is not allowed!
In a hurry, Second Master Ning stepped forward and smiled: "Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding!"

"Get lost if you misunderstand, what are you talking about!" Qingfeng said coldly.

Second Master Ning choked for a moment, rubbed his hands together and said, "This is my little girl's wish, but it's actually like this... The fifth girl is going to marry into the Chen Palace, so she must have arms, so..."

"Arms?" Song Zhuohong raised her lips coldly: "Do you mean that this son will bully Qingqing? Or, in this son's land, can someone bully her?"

Second Master Ning was shocked, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, that's not what I meant. That's right, Miaomiao is a good girl, and she will definitely serve the prince well."

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, and they all stared at Second Master Ning with contempt.

Song Zhuo laughed, and her beautiful phoenix eyes glanced at Ning Miao full of disgust: "Second Master Ning, do you mean to give this son a concubine?"

These words are too blunt, even the thick-skinned Second Master Ning blushes.

Ning Miao felt trampled by Song Zhuo's sweeping glance, but Song Zhuo's words made her look forward to it.Be silent.

"Concubines are all servants of color." As she spoke, she seemed to be looking at some inferior goods: "How dare you be a concubine even if you are so ugly? How can you have the courage if you don't have the same color as the mistress?"

The people around burst into laughter, and Second Master Ning and Gu's faces turned blue all of a sudden.

Ning Miao's small face was flushed red, and she was furious: "Could it be that the world is only superficial? I am better than her in everything! Talent is infinitely greater than her!"

Song Zhuo hummed: "This son is so superficial."

Ning Miao choked.

"Who made you ugly." Song Zhuo said: "You said you are talented, come, write a poem to listen to."

Ning Miao choked again, how could she compose any poems!She can read two lines of poetry at most arty.She snorted, "I'm good at piano."

"That's all just now!" Seeing that Song Zhuo stomped on him mercilessly, he couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed loudly: "The technique is good, but the artistic conception is vulgar, it's a low-level cellar." The prostitutes play bullets for clients!"

Someone spoke up: "Although it is a Jiaozi tune, it can be regarded as the top tune!"

"That's right, I can catch up with Miss Xiangyu from Nuanchun Building! Actually, she plays pretty well, hahaha."

Ning Miao was so angry that she fainted, someone actually compared her with a prostitute!
Mrs. Gu was also panting with anger, but Second Master Ning was angry and regretful.Only then did he remember that he had always listened to Jiaozi tunes, and he felt that Ning Miao played well, so it was naturally Jiaozi tunes!

"Look, she is ugly, has no figure, no talent, and bad personality, yet she still wants to be a concubine for the prince." Zhang Jing said: "This general's concubine sister is both talented and beautiful, and if she wants to send her in, the prince will think so. Just rely on her..."

Second Master Ning's face was like a palette.Only then did he realize that what he had always thought of as Ning Miao's talent was simply a joke in the eyes of this group of elites in Shangjing.

But now that it has already started, it has to be stuffed in no matter what!
Second Master Ning said with a bitter expression: "My son... This is, no matter what, she is also a cousin, no matter how I say, she is also Wu Yatou's cousin, so you can accept her."

Song Zhuo was furious: "Can't she get married?"

Second Master Ning's face froze, and Mrs. Zhao over there smiled: "Hehe, ouch, Miss Ning Si is well-known in our Yuecheng. She was engaged to a dog at first, but later thought my son was not handsome enough, so she learned Ordinarily, it’s just the son of a seventh-rank official, who would want to. Then we engaged her two or three times, and we persuaded her to turn around, but she got rid of her again. She’s almost nineteen and still can’t get married.”

The corner of Song Zhuo's lips twitched sarcastically: "Second Master Ning, are you treating this son as a garbage dump? You can't get married, you are ugly, and you have a bad personality. If no one wants you, just put it in your son's house!"

"No..." Second Master Ning trembled.

"Since it's not, don't you have any men in Yuecheng?"

"Actually, I want to take care of the fifth girl, are they all sisters?" Gu's voice trembled slightly.

"Does she have no other sisters?" Song Zhuo said: "Isn't there a second sister? Oh, concubine, I don't want to be a concubine under the concubine's sister. Then go find the older cousin! This will not only have Sister care, and close care from you as parents! How nice!"

Second Master Ning and Gu Shi shrank their necks, but they didn't say anything.

"Why, don't you want to? To put it bluntly, you just want to be rich! You don't take a picture of yourself with a pan of water, just because she is worthy?"

Song Zhuo grew up so old, he had never said such blatant and vicious words.But Ning Miao and Ning Erye couple are too disgusting, they have touched his bottom line.

Ning Miao finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed: "How can you say that about me—"

"What kind of cheap thing is worthy of yelling in front of this son!" Song Zhuo shouted angrily, and when he turned around suddenly, a teacup smashed over.

Ning Miao was turned over by the beating, and her whole body flew out and hit the pillar!

Ning Miao felt dizzy, and when she touched her mouth, blood came out from her hand, and a few teeth that had been filled not long ago fell out again!She screamed in shock, but when she moved her mouth, a few more teeth fell out!
Ning Miao's eyes darkened and she passed out completely.

"Listen up, the second room of the Ning family, from now on, Qingqing will never have any relatives like yours!" Said and left in a huff.As he walked, his cold and majestic voice came over: "Let Nanny Liu keep watch, Qingqing is a noble prince and concubine, not just any cat or dog can see it. Let the idlers wait for the elders who treat you with family affection." If you harass with a banner, break your leg and throw it out! If you can’t do it, let her break her leg to apologize!"

Not only the Second Master Ning, Mrs. Ning, but also Mrs. Ning, Uncle Ning, Mrs. Tian, ​​and even Princess Chen all trembled.

Zhang Jing waited for a large group of high-ranking officials and soldier guards to follow Song Zhuo and hurried away for most of the time. Only a few good officials and their wives, as well as some merchants and merchant wives, walked behind and squeezed into a pile of discussions. with.

"I've never seen such a frivolous person, who came out to play and sing shamelessly on my younger sister's next employment day. It's really no different from a prostitute."

"This is the meaning of self-recommended pillow seat!"

"Yes, it's the self-recommended pillow seat!"

"Her parents didn't stop her! In fact, it was the second bedroom's idea! Before the cousin entered the house, the cousin rushed to become a concubine for her brother-in-law. I have never seen such shameless. In our family, the wife has not entered the house. You can't have a serious aunt, even if you have a face and a waiter, it's just a roommate. Wait for a year or so after the main wife comes in. This house is good, the sisters are vying to get in before the main wife comes in. "

"Yes. Although the Chen Palace is different, it is extremely powerful and expensive, even if there are a lot of aunts and concubines before the main wife. Who makes people's status valuable! But anyone can plug people, but this natal family can't! Stabbing the concubine's heart! This natal family can do it. There is also the dowry matter... No wonder the prince looks down on the Ning family so much! Even if the concubine and the natal family are broken, it is not unfilial, it is all forced! "

"If you want to be a concubine so much, you feel that you are better than the concubine. When you sent the Ning family girl to Beijing, why didn't you send Ning Miao? Instead, send an orphan girl who has no father and no mother. I thought that when she was in the dragon pool and tiger den, she would let her go. Others break in, and when they find out that it is a gold and silver nest, they want to pull them down and go up by themselves, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!"

"By the way, the Ning family is really short-sighted, and their brains have been eaten by pigs. They only see the scenery in front of other people's stage, why don't they think about what they are paying behind? Today, they said that they had cooperated with Zhongli's family in business, and heard It is said that I have been to Tianshui to recognize my brother-in-law, plus the rumors in Beijing in those years, I know how much hardship he has suffered along the way."

"Don't say that Prince Chen's son is not superficial, even if he is superficial and only looks at his face, it's amazing that Ning Miao's face has the courage to rush to be a concubine for someone else!"

All the noble ladies blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Anyway, the reputations of Ning Miao and Erfang are officially rotten!Of course, the reputation of the entire Ning family is in shambles.

After Song Zhuo left, Princess Chen was helped away by several nuns.After all, she is not coming back to visit her natal family, but to hire her on behalf of her husband's family, so she followed Song Zhuo back to the inn.

Old Madam Ning went back to the house in a daze, trying to find Ning Qing, but after repeated hesitation, she still didn't dare to look for her.

Second Master Ning and Mrs. Gu were in a daze, unable to recover for most of the day.

Only then did they realize that Ning Miao, whom they loved, was not even as good as a piece of shit in Song Zhuo's eyes!Not to mention squeezing out Ning Qing.

After finally waking up, Ning Miao found out that not only had she lost a few new teeth, but also a few old ones, her eyes darkened, and she passed out again.

Ning Miao's reputation is completely rotten, but someone who proposes a marriage has come to her door!
They are all old men in their 70s and [-]s, with a little money, and they are not even as good as some merchants in the Ning family. As soon as they entered the door, they said: "I heard that the fourth girl of the Ning family can play this song well. I like this kind of music the most. Four The girl is all about being a concubine, so I don't want to dislike it, so let's find a day and bring it to my house!"

Gu Shi was so angry that she could hardly breathe, picked up a broom and chased people for half a block, and one of them had her leg broken, and she accompanied him with more than 500 taels of silver.

After the old man finished closing the door, another short and fat woman dressed in red and green, with heavy make-up and heavy make-up, ran over and smiled, shaking a scented handkerchief, "Oh, I heard that Miss Ning Si rejected all marriage proposals. I'm afraid I won't be able to get married in this life. Although, this is not a great beauty, but she is also quite beautiful, and she can play a good song! You know, this song is the favorite of our uncle in Nuanxianglou! If The fourth girl enters my building, just by playing the tune and picking up customers, she can also become the number one card!"

It was actually the bustard who came to the door and asked Ning Miao to pick up the guests!

Old lady Ning fainted on the spot.After fainting, he chased after Mr. Ning and his wife with a cane and beat them up, crying and moaning that they did such a shameful thing and taught such a slut!
Of course, these things only happened after Ning Qing got married.

In the three days before Ning Qing got married, no old man or bustard was photographed in Song Zhuo, so how dare he come to the door.
