Chapter 157
Ning Liang and Yu Shi rushed into their daughter's room, seeing that there was no one in the room, they were so dumbfounded as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and ran out together, shouting "Wan'er! Wan'er! Where are you?" Out of tune!
But as soon as they went out, they bumped into Yao Nv head-on. The two of them seemed to have picked up a treasure suddenly, and they held each other in their hands and asked, "Wan'er, didn't you tell you to go back to your room to rest? What did you do?" "

Ning Wan said, "I have nothing to do in the room, so I went to the shop to have a look."

"No need, take a break." Ning Liang winked at his daughter-in-law, and Yu fully understood, "I just want to draw a picture, why don't we draw it together." He said and pulled his daughter He didn't let go of his hands at all, and followed his daughter back into the house.

Ning Wan understood better than the two of them, but she pretended to be stupid, "Alright then, I'll describe it for mother."

Zhao Guobao has always been ambitious, and he dismisses the quiet girl whom Mrs. Zhao looks up to for him. What he wants to marry most is a powerful official lady, but it is absolutely impossible in his capacity, so he turns to Aiming at the rich business lady, now I think I should have taken a fancy to Dejufeng.I still remember that the young mistress he married at that time had 1000 taels of dowry silver, which was used by him to seek the post of classic history, but it was a pity that he failed with Mrs. Zhao and himself.

Now that he found out that De Jufeng was his dowry, he pounced on him like a wolf smelling of meat, but on the surface he pretended to be a docile lamb.

Ning Wan never took Zhao Guobao seriously, and it is the same now, probably because she has confronted him too many times before, Ning Wan can easily see through that Zhao Guobao has now successfully provoked her parents' suspicion of shopkeeper Xiao Wang. Dissatisfied, but he will not jump out now to replace him, will he?Therefore, he should leave immediately, leaving the Ning family worried and angry, and broke up with shopkeeper Xiao Wang, and then came forward to propose marriage under the banner of helping.

So don't bother with him now.

Ning Wan helped her mother trace the patterns with her heart, feeling her mother's eyes looking up and down at herself, finally she was relieved, she finished the last few strokes with a smile, and said to her again with her mother Gossip for half a day, proving that he will never be overwhelmed as Zhao Guobao said, and when it got dark, he said: "Mother, the shop is about to close, I'll go and have a look."

Yu Shi nodded, "Alright, come back after reading it."

In the end, Ning Wan really didn't come back soon, so shopkeeper Xiao Wang came over.

They haven't seen each other since Mrs. Song helped to make a marriage proposal. Therefore, even though they agreed on a marriage, they feel more unfamiliar than before. Now they stand face to face in silence, not like they used to meet Chang Xiaoyu feasting.

According to the season, it has already entered spring, but the morning and evening in Liaodong is still quite cold, and it gets dark very early. Ning Wan watched the waiter put the door panels one by one, and when only the last two were left, she said: "Put it first, I'll come later, you go to eat first." If the door panels are put away, shopkeeper Xiao Wang can only go through the back door from the yard, Ning Wan feels bad, so she just wants to talk to him and let him Still go out through the front door.

Seeing that everyone had gone in, shopkeeper Xiao Wang coughed first and said, "You don't have to worry, I don't believe it at all, I also explained it clearly to Mrs. Song, we will at most postpone the date of engagement for one or two months. "

Ning Wan sneered and asked, "So you dare not come over during the day, so you can only speak at this time?"

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang raised his head in surprise. The evening wind blew in from the place where the door panel was missing, blowing and flickering the only candle on the counter, and the flame was almost extinguished, so he couldn't see clearly. With Ning Wan's expression, she felt that she was not the warm-hearted person she usually knew, so she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that you were there when Zhao Guofan was lying, not only didn't explain anything, but congratulated him with a smile."

"Who told you?" After Xiao Wang asked the shopkeeper, he also knew that there was no answer, so he took a deep breath and said, "Miss Ning, do you know what happened at that time? Zhao Guofan drank too much and pulled We talked nonsense with our hands, and kept asking us to congratulate him. What else could I do? I had to follow everyone's muddle along. Don't I know what kind of bastard he is? I didn't expect this word to spread, after all, I told everyone except Zhao Guofan not to talk nonsense."

Although she had already guessed that everything was caused by Zhao Guobao, Ning Wan did not think Shopkeeper Xiao Wang was innocent, and she was really dissatisfied with Shopkeeper Xiao Wang as Zhao Guobao expected, so not only was she dissatisfied with Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's explanation, Instead, he became even angrier, "It's just because Zhao Guofan is a canonist, you are afraid of offending him, right?"

"Of course there is a reason for this. We are merchants. Why bother to have trouble with the county's classics? Zhao Guofan is just a bastard. It's nothing to say casually at the time. As long as we come back and discuss it, we will naturally come up with a way to deal with him. Let him get rid of that idea, and we will get engaged and get married as usual after a few days, so it will not affect the business at all. Miss Ning, don't you think this is the best way?"

Maybe, but Ning Wan didn't care, "Business is much more important to you than me, right? If something like this happened to your former fiancée, would you do the same?"

"Of course, we are in business, and we use excuses to compete with others. Even those rumors, you don't have to care about them. After two or three months, everyone will forget them, and they won't affect us anymore." Xiao Xiao Shopkeeper Wang said again: "Just like you are now, as if you didn't hear it is the best."

Suddenly, Ning Wan felt that she had been wrong all along, and she was not the only one, almost all the women in Hutai County were wrong. Shopkeeper Xiao Wang might not really be devoted to his fiancée, he just thought that would be the best way for business. That's all.

The more you think about it, the better you feel. The shopkeeper who has sincere affection for his fiancée is handsome and gentle. Even if Ruihongfeng's fabrics are more expensive, it doesn't matter. Everyone has to take care of his family's business. Women are so easy to be impressed.

Then Ning Wan stopped being angry, and she said calmly: "I was going to find you too, not for this matter, but for the dowry—my parents wanted to give me Dejufeng as a dowry, but I won't take it, even the money I hired will be left to my parents for retirement and my younger brother's marriage, you should reconsider whether you want to continue the marriage contract."

"I have my eyes on your man. It's okay to give less dowry, but isn't it too ugly to keep the dowry? It doesn't look good to others." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang is an extremely alert person, so he immediately I realized, "Miss Ning is actually unwilling, isn't she? If that's the case, just tell me directly, and I won't stalk you."

At this time, Ning Wan admired Shopkeeper Xiao Wang again, "Yes, you are right, I don't want to. It just so happens that you can get rid of Zhao Guofan's rumors and find a woman with a clean reputation to be your wife again."

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang was taken aback when he heard such blunt words, and then cupped his hands, "It's better to be respectful than to obey." He stepped back a few steps to the door, "I'll talk to Mrs. Song, you don't have to worry."

As expected, Ning Wan wasn't worried, "Just put the blame on me."

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's demeanor is always so good, "That's not necessary."

Ning Wan also knew that she was harsh on Shopkeeper Xiao Wang. The reputation of a shop is really important, especially for many old shops, as long as the signboards are still there, even if all the money and goods are lost, they will be able to regain their reputation. Stand up.Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's fiancée is kind to the Wang family, he is willing to wait for her, and he is willing to spend money to prolong her medical treatment. Although it is for the reputation of the shop, it is also very friendly. Why do I want him to like her wholeheartedly? After all, they may have only met once or twice, and they don't even know whether they have spoken or not.

As for himself, he didn't have any disrespect. He never believed in Zhao Guofan, and he didn't intend to destroy his relationship, even the dowry.On the contrary, it was himself who seized the opportunity of Zhao Guofan and resigned, as if he was a little sorry for the shopkeeper Xiao Wang.

However, Ning Wan felt much more at ease in her heart. At the beginning, she had to agree to the marriage because she had no choice but to put a rope on her body. Now she felt light all over, and seeing Shopkeeper Xiao Wang was at ease. I felt that he was a very good person again, so I smiled and said: "Even if this incident is over, our two shops will still be the same as in the past. You have to come to my house to buy wild pasta, and what's new in your house?" We must also let us get the materials first!"

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang also laughed, "I listen to Miss Ning." Then he said considerately: "It's too dark, you put the door panel up and go home to eat."

"Alright then, you should hurry back too." Ning Wan stepped on the door, held up a candle and came out of the shop, and saw her father and mother standing side by side in front of the door, "Master Xiao Wang left?"

"Well, let's go."

Dad sighed heavily, "Oh!"

Mother cried, "Silly boy, you are too strong. In fact, what the shopkeeper Xiao Wang said is not bad at all. As long as we don't agree, what can Zhao Guofan do? Is it possible that he dares to come to snatch people? Let's think of some ways, Things calm down after a few months, when..."

Ning Wan hurriedly interrupted them, "Father, mother, I just want to be strong, but I just don't want to leave a knot in my heart. This is the best way now, we are still the same as in the past, living with Ruihongfeng's neighbor and taking care of each other." Said Helped the mother to wipe away tears, and took one of them back inside.
