little wife

Chapter 10

Early the next morning, Ning Luo was woken up by the sound of cats meowing. She went to bed too late last night, and this time she slept until dawn.

After hugging the snow ball for a while, Ning Luo got up, and when she was done washing up, Zhao Daiyun was already waiting in the front hall, still wearing a white dress, with only a white jade hairpin in silver silk and mutton fat stuck in her bun, all dressed in a suit. Su Jing stood there with the backlight, looking at a picture of Panasonic asking children hanging on the wall.

She is one year older than Ning Luo, and her figure is already exquisite. Just looking at her back, her waist is slender and graceful, floating in the dust, but she is somewhat similar to Ning Luo in the past, but when she turned around, she was bright and beautiful. His facial features immediately compared the white dress to a piece of white cloth.

In the past, Zhao Daiyun was most fond of bright colors, which matched her flamboyant and self-willed personality, and it was really difficult for her. She has been the second concubine in the Rui Palace for so many years, and has always been second.

"This cat is only a bit obedient now, otherwise I'm really worried that it will hurt you if it goes crazy." She stared at the snow ball in Ning Luo's arms with a worried expression on her face.

Ning Luo pretended to be angry and patted Xue Tuan on the back: "Bad guy, hurry up and say sorry to Sister Zhao."

Xue Tuan didn't even open the cat's eyes, let out a "meow", and turned his face away in disdain.

Zhao Daiyun smiled: "Beasts are different from people. If you spoil them too much, they will climb on top of their owners. I heard that there is a rich family in the south of the Yangtze River who also raised a strange-looking dog. They are very pampered." Very, in the end, the beast went crazy and bit the owner's baby, and finally beat it to death before snatching it from its mouth, what a sin."

Ning Luo's heart trembled, Xue Tuan turned his head, bared his teeth and called out to Zhao Daiyun, Zhao Daiyun half-covered his mouth and let out a soft cry, with a look of fear on his face.

"Go, go play with you, don't get in my sister's eyes here." Ning Luo put the snow ball on the window sill, she didn't believe that Zhao side concubine who could kill the palace alive would have any fear, But she can't let Zhao Daiyun focus on Xuetuan anymore, otherwise she's afraid that she will come up with some sinister idea to avenge her capture last night.

The two of them had their own concerns and had breakfast together. Seeing that it was already over, Zhao Daiyun said goodbye and prepared to go back to the city.

Ning Luo sent her to the gate of the other courtyard. Before leaving, Zhao Daiyun asked with concern: "When is my sister going to return to the academy? The annual flower appreciation party of the academy is about to open. It would be a pity if you missed it."

The Flower Appreciation Party of Qionghua Academy is a grand event for literati in the capital. At that time, scholars, royal children, princes and nobles will all be present.For the students of the Academy's Women's Hall, this Flower Appreciation Fair is comparable to the Spring and Autumn Exams. It is a blessing to be eligible to participate. If you can stand out on that day, it will be the capital that this girl can be proud of all her life.

In the previous life, Ning Luo won the top two titles of calligraphy and painting with a "Picture of Outing in Spring", but lost to Shang Shufu in chess. The second girl Yu Huiyao ranked second. The bane of eight years of misery.

Ning Luo calmed down and said with a smile, "I'm just going to join in the fun, but my sister, who is excellent in both poetry and music, will definitely win the first place."

Zhao Daiyun pursed her lips reservedly: "Thank you, sister Jiyan. By the way, I happened to meet His Highness King Rui when I was out of the city yesterday. It seems that I just happened to visit you in Ningfu."

Ning Luo's heart trembled, and even her fingertips trembled for a moment.This title has tormented her for nearly eight years, so much so that she couldn't hide the fear and hatred in her heart when she heard it.

However, if the Zhao Daiyun in front of her is also reborn like her, as long as she shows a little bit of fear at this time, Zhao Daiyun will be able to see her abnormality.

She let out a soft cry, with a slightly coquettish and shy expression: "Really? I haven't seen His Highness King Rui for a long time."

Zhao Daiyun stared at her, and suddenly slapped her cheek affectionately: "Aren't you ashamed, are you thinking about spring?"

"No way," Ning Luo resisted the goosebumps that appeared on her skin, and gave her a light thump, "Didn't you always praise His Royal Highness King Rui for being as gentle as jade and graceful as a dragon? Let my father and His Highness King Rui mention it."

Ning Zhenchuan used to be the secretary of the Imperial Academy and taught the homework of several princes. Yang Yan also respectfully called him "teacher" when he saw him.

"Okay, you actually buried me, and won't whisper to you in the future." Zhao Daiyun said coquettishly.

The two laughed together in front of the door, Zhao Daiyun jumped into the carriage and left, Ning Luo was relieved: this encounter was more tiring than a serious illness.

Without Zhao Daiyun, Ning Luo finally had a leisurely day. Ning Zhenchuan had studied hard in another courtyard. There was a large library, so she found a few ancient books and asked them to display them beside the pear forest. Get off the soft couch, and look lazily in the spring sun and majesty.

The pear blossoms rustled down in the mountain wind, and Zijing led several maidservants busy picking pear blossoms to prepare for brewing. Steward Sun led the men to prune and fertilize the pear grove, and snow balls were having fun in the pear grove.

"Miss Nine, when the chrysanthemum and yellow crabs are fat, the pears should be ripe. I will send a few baskets over then, just in time for the old and young wives and ladies in the house to moisturize their dryness." Steward Sun said with a smile.

"Uncle Sun, aren't you lonely in this villa all day long?" Ning Luo asked curiously.

"I'm not lonely, I'm very happy," Steward Sun cheered up, "My husband and I are here, and we don't have any children. We just love flowers and plants, but we're not used to them when we're in the city."

The flowers and plants in this other courtyard are flourishing, and the pear grove is very pleasing to look after. It seems that Manager Sun really regards this place as his home.

Ning Luo was taken aback: "You don't have any children?"

"That's right," Steward Sun said calmly, "When I was young, my family fled the country and fell ill, and we couldn't get better. Thanks to the third master who took us in, my family and I were stupid and illiterate, and we couldn't help the master. We could only help him. Take care of the other hospital."

Ning Luo thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think about the result of the previous life, the Sun Guanshi, but Ning Luo was very envious of his current appearance. The husband and wife were not seduced by the prosperity of the world, and they were in this quiet Taiqing Mountain. Supporting and never leaving, if she can have such an ordinary but beautiful marriage in this life, how wonderful it would be.

The figure of Jing Yun flashed past in his mind, Ning Luo's face became hot, but he felt lost again. What Yu An said before he died must be lying to her. Jing Yun didn't look like she was treating her last night. The appearance of a soft spot.

Last night, he scolded her like a little sister and left her, and today he couldn't even see her.

Never think about him again.

Ning Luo covered her face with a book angrily.

"Miss Jiu, when are we going back to the city?" Qian Momo came over and asked.

"It's good here, I'll rest for a few more days." Ning Luo leaned on the soft couch, picked up a pear blossom and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff, with a satisfied expression on her face.

Qian Momo was a little anxious, she didn't finish her errand, she wanted to go back to the old lady to discuss the follow-up: "Miss Nine, the mountains and countryside are too boring, the old lady said that in the next two days, the troupe will be invited to come to the house to sing operas Woolen cloth."

"I don't like to listen to opera." Ning Luo was unmoved.

"This...the academy's homework has been delayed so much, isn't Ninth Miss in a hurry?" Qian Momo persuaded, "I remember that Ninth Girl used to go to the academy to study even when she was sick."

"Parents who suffer from body, skin and hair, if I have any damage, it is unfilial," Ning Luo said seriously, "I only understand this truth now."

Qian Momo couldn't speak, so she had to stand with her head bowed in silence.

Ning Luo took a piece of preserved fruit leisurely, ate it leisurely for a while, and suddenly exhaled softly: "Oh, look at me, Madam Qian, you are in such a hurry to go back to the city, is there something important at home? "

Qian Momo was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically, "I made Ninth Girl laugh."

Ning Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, Nanny Qian, you should go back to the city first, so you can't delay your affairs. I'm just recuperating in another courtyard for a few days, and you're just idle here."

"This..." Qian Momo said in embarrassment, "The old lady asked me to take care of the girl's daily life, how could I leave the girl without authorization..."

"Grandmother just treats me like a child." Ning Luo showed a smile, "I'm almost fifteen, and there are so many people looking after me, what could go wrong, grandma said I'm sure when asked. yes."

Qian Momo was finally moved: "Thank you for your understanding, Miss."

She gave a few instructions to the maidservants, explained some chores to Steward Sun, and hurriedly left the other courtyard to go back to the city.

Ning Luo watched coldly, and when Nanny Qian left, she called Steward Sun: "Are you familiar with the people who live in this area?"

Steward Sun said proudly: "I have been here for almost ten years, and I can touch it with my eyes closed."

"My maternal grandfather's family also has property in Long'an Town next to Taiqing Mountain. My cousin Qin Yihan should be nearby. Go and inquire. I have something to see him." Ning Luo ordered.

Steward Sun was very quick in his work, so he inquired after a while. The Qin family's bank was in the town. The young owner happened to be here on inspection these two days and lived in the inn in the town.

Ning Luo felt a little sad.

Back then, Ning Zhenchuan went to the south of the Yangtze River to become a small county magistrate, met Qin Xianglan, and the two hit it off, so Ning Zhenchuan sent a letter to the capital to ask his parents to marry him, but Mrs. Ning didn't like it. , specially arranged a marriage for him in the capital.Seeing that the two were about to be beaten with clubs, Ning Zhenchuan just tried a case that involved several high-ranking officials, so that he was falsely accused of accepting bribes and was embarrassed on all sides. Ning Zhenchuan's marriage was also tactfully dismissed.Later, I heard that it was the Qin family who found the clues to the case with all their efforts, so Ning Zhenchuan pulled out all the culprits and wiped out the criminals. Because of this case, Ning Zhenchuan has been appreciated by today, and he has gradually grown from a small county magistrate to the present Zhongshu command high.

In the end, the old Duke decided to agree to this marriage. The old lady was reluctant in every possible way, and finally could only accept it. It's just that she has always disliked the Qin family over the years, so that Qin Xianglan always worried about the old man when she was in contact with her natal family. people's faces.

In her previous life, Ning Luo was influenced by the old lady, subconsciously looked down on her grandfather's family, and kept a clear distance from her grandfather's family. Looking back now, it is really chilling to think about it. Since she was a child, her grandfather's family has treated her heart and soul. , Treasures and silver are sent to the house like flowing water, and there are several shops and real estates in her name, and her grandfather wants her to live in Jiangnan for a while, but she just writes a letter to say a few words, The wish of the old man has never been fulfilled.

Later, the Qin family probably knew it well, and gradually lost the thought of putting a hot face on a cold butt. No, now that my cousin went to inspect the property near the capital, he didn't even enter the door of the Ning Mansion.

Thinking about it now, she in her previous life was also a heartless little white-eyed wolf.
