little wife

Chapter 22

When returning home from school, everyone in the Women's Hall still couldn't hide their excitement, and a few groups got together to talk about the interesting things about the former three yuan.

Mr. Zou's name is Zou Zelin. He is the son of a scholar of the Hanlin University. He has learned a lot since he was a child. He is arrogant and arrogant. Zou Zelin was hand-picked the No. [-] pick, but his popularity was still not as good as that of Jing Yun, and the No. [-] pick was already approaching his age, and it was said that he was not good-looking, so no one was interested.

Ning Luo was both happy and pantothenic. Now the threshold of Dingyunhou's mansion will be broken by the matchmaker, right?
Inadvertently turned sideways, Ning Luo froze for a moment, Ning Xuan actually followed behind her silently, the two looked at each other, Ning Xuan smiled nervously at her.

Ning Luo was both surprised and delighted. Does this mean that the two sisters have let go of their past differences?

"Which piece is Seventh Sister going to play?" She asked happily.

"Mr. Han asked me to play the high mountains and flowing waters, saying that the imperial concubine Mei always liked elegant styles."

Ning Luo thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty will also be present this time, maybe there will be surprises if you are ingenious. I think the song Fengqiuhuang you usually practice is pretty good."

Ning Xuan smiled, obviously did not listen to Ning Luo's words, but changed the topic: "What is my sister planning to draw? I think you have been very slack these days, you need to practice more."

"I can do a few random graffiti." Ning Luo said indifferently.

Ning Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in the laugh.

Ning Luo asked inexplicably, "Sister Seven, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little emotional." Ning Xuan's soft voice contained a hint of sourness, "I tried my best to fight for something, but I didn't put half of it in the eyes of my younger sister. Born noble, it is very different from us."

"Seventh Sister," Ning Luo was a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice, "What's the point of you always saying these things that are neither yin nor yang? My birth is determined by nature. I have never owed you anything. You are arrogant and want everything. Compared with me, you are inferior, and if you don’t come out by yourself, I’m afraid you will be trapped in this shackle for the rest of your life.”

Ning Xuan was stunned, lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows, and said: "What Jiumeimei said is that if I don't compete in the future, can I still succeed?"

No matter how uncomfortable it was to hear these words, Ning Luo stared at her whirling hair, her nose bursting with soreness, could it be that the Seventh Sister who gave charcoal in the snow but ended up miserable in the previous life really couldn't come back?How much she wanted to make up for that seventh sister, so that she would not be entrusted to others, so that she could also have a happy life.

"Seventh sister, I know, no matter how much I say now, you will think that I am hypocritical," she said sincerely, "but you will understand in the future, at this moment, I sincerely hope that our sisters will not be confused because of those trivial things." There is a gap in my heart, after all, I can't write two Ning characters in one stroke, we are all the daughters of Ning Guogong."

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the biennial flower viewing event of Qionghua Academy in the city arrived.Going out of the academy, you can see the canopy and the fragrance of clothes; inside the academy, there are exotic flowers and herbs, full of fragrance, and it is a lively scene.

Dozens of gauze tents stand outside the Molin Pavilion. Luosha dances lightly in the warm spring breeze, and pots of camellias compete for beauty. They still hold a pipa half-hidden in the spring light, adding to the beauty.

Dean Lin Qingju loves camellias very much. Over the years, he has collected many rare varieties, which are not easily displayed in front of people. Today, he finally couldn’t hide them anymore. There are several pots of treasures with clusters of flowers. The middle one is called "Mandarin Duck and Phoenix Crown". The flower shape is full, and the layers of petals overlap to form a phoenix crown.The two pots on the left are "Songyang Red", and the two pots on the right are "Zhuangyuan Red", which are very festive.

Ning Luo and Ning Xuan sat in the gauze tent on the right side with their aunt Ning He, and together with their aunt's natal cousin and niece Yu Huiyao. When she was young, she was immersed in go with her father, and dominated the women's hall with one hand. If there is no accident, she will undoubtedly win the first place in today's chess skills.

Zhao Daiyun was right across from them. Today, she finally turned back into that glamorous and flamboyant woman. A bright red skirt made her white complexion even better, and her beautiful eyes were dazzling and breathtaking.

Seeing Ning Luo coming, she eagerly came over to greet her, and praised everyone in the gauze tent, even Ning Xuan was no exception.

Ning Luo couldn't help but look at Ning Xuan twice more, you know, Zhao Daiyun is proud and arrogant, and never takes a concubine like Ning Xuan seriously.

"This is my newly brewed plum blossom dew this year. Alpine snow plums are cooked with freshly melted snow water. It is fragrant and sweet. Pour a few drops on the tea every day, and it will make your skin look like a plum with an alluring fragrance." Zhao Daiyun One person distributed a bottle, opened another bottle himself, dripped two drops of Ning Luo's tea, and suddenly, a dark fragrance came to his nostrils.

"Sister, try it." She brought it to Ning Luo herself.

Ning Luo took it, her hands shook, and the tea spilled on the floor, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry sister, I've always been weak in my hands these days."

Zhao Daiyun didn't change her face, and said with a smile: "It's okay."

"There is nothing to be courteous about, adultery or robbery." Yu Huiyao had always been at odds with Zhao Daiyun, and muttered to Ning Luo secretly.

Ning Luo felt sorry for her, so she made up her mind to go back and threw away the Laoshizi Plum Blossom Dew.Ning Xuan was very curious about the plum blossom dew. She opened it and sniffed it while asking how to cook it, but her hands shook for some reason, the bottle tilted, and most of the plum blossom dew fell on Ning Luo's clothes. On, the arms are wet.

This time I was in a hurry, and it was too late to go back and change clothes.Ning Luo looked at the panic-stricken Ning Xuan and the slightly annoyed Ning Heshi, and had no choice but to reassure them that they were fine.

Zhao Daiyun said courteously: "I brought a spare dress, and I will accompany you to the Women's Hall to change."

Where would Ning Luo want to wear her clothes, she politely declined: "It's just wet, it will dry after a while in the wind."

Ning Xuan's face turned slightly pale, she wrung her handkerchief and muttered, "Ninth Sister, I look about the same as you, why don't I exchange it for you?"

Ning Luo shook her head and smiled meaningfully: "Okay, okay, why do you rush into such a trivial matter, calm down, and don't miss your piano skills competition."

While everyone was talking, there was a sudden commotion from the left side. It turned out that Jinke Sanyuan had arrived. A group of people surrounded Jing Yun and they walked in, and entered the gauze tent facing the main tent. There were many famous people beside them. The girl's eyes lit up immediately, she either half-closed her fan, or looked at her grandly, and the whispers of "Shushui" were mixed with light laughter from time to time.

Ning Luo couldn't help watching for a moment, but her eyes froze after watching: Yang Yan walked out of the gauze tent in a brocade robe with apricot-yellow bottom, greeted the people around with a smile, and walked towards her come over.

She didn't want to listen to Yang Yan's sweet talk, nor did she want to have any unnecessary conflicts with him, so she whispered a few words to Mrs. Ning He, and then walked out of the gauze tent without any trace, and walked a few steps along the path into the bamboo forest.

For some reason, she felt a little hot and dry, but fortunately, there was a green lake across the bamboo forest, and the cool breeze by the lake rushed towards her face, which calmed her down a little.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and when she turned her head, it was Ning Xuan.

"Ninth sister, there is a gazebo over there, why don't you go and rest there." Ning Xuan hurriedly walked to her side, holding her arm and said.

Ning Luo leaned against Ning Xuan calmly, supported her forehead and said, "Why do I feel a little dizzy and hot?"

The body that was leaning on trembled visibly.

"You...why are you dizzy..." Ning Xuan said anxiously, "I'll help you to sit for a while, did you walk too fast just now?"

Ning Luo sneered in her heart. In her previous life, she had suffered from Zhao Daiyun's calculations countless times. If she couldn't see the trickery just now, it would be considered a useless death this time.I'm afraid that Ning Xuan has already been bought by Zhao Daiyun, and there are ghosts in the plum blossom dew poured on her.

Ning Xuan staggered all the way to help Ning Luo into the pavilion, her voice was crying: "Ninth sister, are you better? It's just that your clothes are wet, how can you feel dizzy..."

"Seventh Sister," Ning Luo said with a painful expression, "You should go back quickly, Your Majesty will be here soon, it would be bad if you missed your match, I'll just rest for a while."

"I..." Ning Xuan's eyes were full of guilt, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Ever since Zhao Daiyun came to her that day, she appeared beside her from time to time, asking about Ning Luo's daily affairs. It didn't hurt too much, so I told Zhao Daiyun everything, and two days ago, Zhao Daiyun finally made it clear that as long as she did what Zhao Daiyun said today, it would guarantee that she would win the second place in piano skills. .

She has been under the pressure of Ning Luo for the past 16 years. Whether it is a concubine or a talented person, she has been looking forward to being proud in front of Ning Luo for too long!
But... It was clearly agreed that she would just pour plum blossom dew on Ning Luo, let her change clothes to delay the time, and miss the first match, why is it so serious all of a sudden?Could it be... She was fooled by someone else?

With this thought, Ning Xuan's hands trembled in fright, she absolutely had no intention of harming Ning Luo!
"Ninth sister, you wait," she said without thinking, "I'll find someone to help you."

She was about to run out in a hurry, and bumped into Zhao Daiyun head-on.

"What are you going to do in such a panic?" Zhao Daiyun gave her a stern look, walked up to Ning Luo in a few steps, and said with a caring smile, "Sister Ning is not feeling well, you should be around Just take good care of it."

Ning Xuan grabbed her sleeve: "Miss Zhao... Why is my sister dizzy and uncomfortable... Is something wrong? You clearly—"

"I'm worried about Sister Ning, so I'll come over and have a look," Zhao Daiyun cut off her words, and cursed "trash" in her heart, "Fortunately, I'm here, what day is it today, you're so impatient, you'll let me Sister Ning is a joke."

Ning Xuan's face was bluish and white, and her fingertips were almost pinched into her palms.

Zhao Daiyun took out a handkerchief and tucked it on Ning Luo's forehead: "Is my sister feeling uncomfortably hot? Come, I'll wipe it off with clean water."

There are steps under the gazebo leading to the green lake, which is usually a good place to play in the water.Ning Luo's body was weak, and she was immediately supported by Zhao Daiyun. She walked down the steps and landed on the bluestone bricks by the lake.
