little wife

Chapter 11

Long'an Town is the No. 1 town in the Gyeonggi region. When the country was broken, Gaozu pulled the flagpole here to resist the strong captives and laid down a piece of Dachen.So, don't look at the lack of mountains and water here, it is not allowed to bump into a person who is the descendant of the hero who fought with Gaozu back then.

When Ning Luo and his party arrived in front of the Fulong Bank of the Qin family, a servant went in to report, and after a while, a young man in his twenties walked out quickly. It was Ning Luo's cousin, Qin Yihan, who was born to Qin Yihan With delicate features and delicate eyes, the tails of his eyes are slightly raised, with the romantic meaning of Jiangnan literati. With that appearance, no one would have thought that he would be the son of the richest man in Jiangnan.

"Sister Luo, why are you here?" Qin Yihan was obviously very surprised. He lived in the Ning Mansion for a few months when he was young, and he felt the old lady's attitude, so except for the daily correspondence, he almost never came to bother her.

Ning Luo looked at him steadfastly. Among the relatives of her grandfather's family, she was most familiar with this cousin. When she was young, she didn't understand the disputes between adults. Always love to tease her, only Qin Yihan is gentle and amiable, responsive to every request.

"Brother Han," she called out as before, feeling extremely guilty, "you won't send a letter here when you get here, I...we miss you very much."

Qin Yihan's heart warmed. Over the years, contact with Ningguo's government has become increasingly rare. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, his grandfather and father would always be depressed when thinking of their aunt and cousin thousands of miles away, regretting that they had let their aunt marry so far away.He also always misses that little girl who was intelligent in ice and snow, carved in pink and jade, but it is a pity that the little girl became more and more distant when she grew up, and became a snow lotus on a high mountain, which can only be watched from a distance, and can no longer get close.

"I...I'm busy here," he said apologetically, "I was thinking about going to the mansion to visit my aunt and uncle after I'm done."

Ning Luo smiled sweetly: "I know, you miss us in your heart, so I'll drop by and see you first, and I have something else I want to ask Brother Han."

Qin Yihan was stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "Sister Luo just asks if there is anything, I will know everything without saying anything."

It was past noon when we left Long'an Town, the carriage was jolting, Ning Luo was leaning on the couch, this trip solved another major matter, she was very happy.

When Qin Yihan heard that she suspected that Qin Xianglan's manager outside might be stealing, he immediately thought out several steps for her in an orderly manner.

First, transfer two accountants from the Qin family to help thoroughly check the accounts. Once the truth is found out, the accounts will be sealed immediately and reported to the authorities for legal action. As for the follow-up, the Qin family will immediately send someone to help, so don't worry.

"Will my mother and I have a lot of property in my name, will they know in advance and destroy the accounts, so that you can't find it?"

"You have been the Qin family for so many years. All the property has fallen from the sky? Don't worry, even if there is a difference of 100 taels of silver, the poisonous eyes of the Qin family's accountant can see the clue. Don't worry about it. If there is any Just leave this kind of slave to me." Qin Yihan has a plan in mind.

The cousin is still as responsive as before, and has no grudges because of the neglect of these years.

In this lifetime, everyone will be a family that loves each other. Let those provocations and prejudices go to hell.

Back in Ning Mansion, Ning Luo went to see Qin Xianglan first.Qin Xianglan just took a nap. Her health is not good. She has been unable to conceive after giving birth to Ning Heng in her early years. The old lady asked Ning Zhenchuan to take a concubine on the grounds that her children were weak. This matter has never been let go. A few years later, Qin Xianglan gave birth to Ning Luo again, with both children, which finally made the old lady calm down for a few years.

There is an embroidery frame in the bedroom. Qin Xianglan grew up in the silk town and is good at female celebrities. Every time the seasons change, she has to make some clothes for Ning Zhenchuan by herself.

"Mother, why are you embroidering again? Just let the servants do these things." Ning Luo was a little unhappy, "You rest, is your cough better?"

"It's done," Qin Xianglan said softly, holding her hand, "You all have your own business, and I'm free even if I'm alone. Come, let mother see your wound."

The scab on the wound has fallen off, but it is still itchy, and Ning Luo can't help scratching it.

The mother and daughter sat together and chatted for a few words, Ning Luo pretended to be casual and asked: "Mother, do you know, Madam Qian? It's the kind-looking one that grandma served in front of her."

Qin Xianglan nodded: "Is she accompanying you?"

"Yes, is she..." Ning Luo hesitated to speak.

Qin Xianglan asked in surprise, "What? Did she talk to you?"

"Then she doesn't dare. I just feel that she is a little different from before. I don't know if it's my illusion." Ning Luo said tactfully.

Qin Xianglan frowned and thought about it carefully for a moment: "Could it be that...because of the red envelope thing before Chinese New Year, she still held grudges in her heart?"

According to the usual practice, the master always gives red envelopes to the servants during the Chinese New Year. When Qin Xianglan gave the old lady New Year greetings, she also sealed several red envelopes, but she took the wrong one when she gave it to Mammy Qian and gave it to a small one. She didn't notice it at the time. She didn't realize it was wrong when she returned to her yard and finished distributing the red envelopes. She didn't know who gave it wrong, so she had to make the mistake. Who knew that Qian Momo went back and met Tong Momo, and immediately found out that it was wrong, and insinuated with the people below. After saying a few words, it reached Qin Xianglan's ears the next day. Qin Xianglan was depressed, but she didn't want to offend the people in front of the old lady, so she secretly asked someone to reseal one for her, and the matter was over.

It turns out that the root knot is here.

Ning Luo was clear in her heart that her grandmother didn't like her mother in the first place, and if this old slave instigated her, the matter would get to the point of getting out of hand.She didn't want her mother to worry, and said with a smile: "So it's such a trivial matter, I understand, mother, don't worry about it, I will take care of it."

As the mother and daughter were talking, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and the second aunt came over.

"Yo, that's just right, Luo'er is here too," Second Aunt smiled and took Ning Luo's hand and patted it. "After two days in the other courtyard, Luo'er has become more and more juicy."

The second aunt's surname is Cheng. She is the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the capital. Her family status is not high. The second master has two concubines, and her natal family has a bunch of brothers and sisters. , Desperate.Qin Xianglan was generous, and occasionally helped her out without any trace. In addition, the two of them were not liked by the old lady, so they felt a little sympathetic to each other, and they could talk a few words on weekdays.

After Ning Luo fell off the carriage last time, Ning Chengshi held back for a while and didn't show up, but today he thought of visiting again for some reason.

Ning Luo met the ceremony: "Second Aunt has won the prize, how is Seventh Sister?"

A trace of worry flashed in Ning Chengshi's eyes: "She shuts herself in the room all day long, and doesn't tell me what she thinks, but she worries me to death."

"Seventh Sister loves to think a lot, I will go to see her when I have time," Ning Luo sighed softly, "Second Aunt, you should persuade her more on weekdays and make her feel at ease. .”

Ning Cheng hurriedly said: "That's right, Xuan'er understood, her grandmother was right to teach her a lesson."

Qin Xianglan looked at the wound on the back of Ning Luo's head, and frowned slightly: "I don't know if there will be future troubles, Luo'er, if you have any headaches, you must not bear it and tell us."

Ning Chengshi's eyes froze, and he said cautiously: "What my brother and sister are worried about is that I know this capital well, and I know a genius doctor in Tongjitang. I will ask him to come over and take Luo'er's pulse someday."

"Second Aunt, you're being polite," Ning Luo said with a slight smile, "Don't bother, I'm already fine."

"It's not troublesome at all, it's because my family's Xuan'er was careless, and it should be," Ning Cheng said enthusiastically, "The second cousin of that genius doctor is my uncle's cousin, and she married the daughter of a yamen chief in the alley in front. The marriage was arranged by my cousin's sister-in-law."

Ning Luo was dizzy hearing the twists and turns of the relationship.

"Speaking of my cousin's sister-in-law, she is one of the best matchmakers in the capital, and she has secured several matchmakers for the daughters of the royal family," Ning Cheng said in a slightly smug tone, "Your brother and sister, do you know? That censor Why does the second daughter of Mrs. Wang's family always refuse this one?"

"Why?" Qin Xianglan replied indifferently.

"She has someone in her heart," Ning Cheng said in a low voice, "and she also made an excuse that she wanted to go to a Taoist temple to practice for two years to accumulate blessings."

When Ning Chengshi talks about gossip, her eyebrows are beaming. She was born and raised in the capital, has many relatives, and knows a little about many secrets. She always likes to pull Qin Xianglan to gossip.

Ning Luo's heart moved when she heard this: "The news about Second Aunt is very well-informed."

Ning Chengshi smiled reservedly: "I just listened to what others were talking about."

"I went to Taiqing Temple the day before yesterday, and I saw a female Taoist priest, she was still very young, she looked as old as a little aunt, it was really strange, why did she become a monk?" Ning Luo asked calmly .

Ning Cheng thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "That's the one from An Guo Gong's family, right? At first, I thought she was just going to Qingxiu for a few years, but I didn't know that she would never come back after this trip. The old lady of An Guo Gong's family cried several times Well, if this granddaughter doesn’t return to vulgar marriage, she won’t close her eyes when she dies.”

"I think she has an immortal demeanor, she must have a hard heart, Mrs. An Guogong may be disappointed." Ning Luo said with interest.

"That's not necessarily true," Ning Cheng said in a low voice, "I heard from my cousin's sister-in-law that the matchmakers in the capital have been secretly trusted, and if they can be guaranteed to be matchmakers, Duke An's mansion will pay this amount. "

She stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of Ning Luo.

"500 taels?" Ning Luo guessed.

"5000 taels." Ning Chengshi's eyes showed envy.

It is indeed a big deal, the 5000 taels will allow a middle-aged family to spend their entire lives without worrying about food and drink.

Ning Luo sneered in her heart, okay, Nanny Qian, so the crux of the problem is here, this time you will definitely be unable to eat it!
