Hard work

Chapter 105 Fang Ning Ai

She had been sitting on the steps in front of the yard for quite a while.

Last night, the pattering rain dripped for a long time, against the rising sun in the morning, a strange-looking water net was hung on the edge of the eaves, illuminating the small moss growing in the corners of the eaves.Occasionally it falls down and hits the leaves of flowers and plants outside, but it also looks green and bright.

She sighed.Thin feet, stepping on bright-colored shoes, turned and ground on the ground, rubbing a vague mark.

The weather was full of early summer heat, which made her nose sweat a little, but she only dared to lift up her skirt to reveal her whiteness when she was loafing alone. Ankle and a little calf.

Qing Dai's teasing seems to be still in my ears - Qing Dai is her cousin, her eyes are crooked when she smiles, her nose bridge is slightly wrinkled, her sharp chin is raised in a nice arc, she is a completely different beauty from her .

"Perhaps he likes you too." Qing Dai smiled after hearing this, and stretched out her hand to hook her chin.

She couldn't help pouting, even her cheeks were a little pink.She only told Qing Dai about her little thoughts, but unexpectedly she got ridiculed at this moment.

How can it be, she is not a beauty like Qingdai, she is white and thin, with eyes so big that they make people's souls seductive.Even when he is not smiling, his brows and eyes are soft. Just looking at this person makes people feel like they are drowning.

Qing Dai smiled leisurely again, even the corners of her reddened lips began to tinge with a smile, "A-Ning is so cute, why not. If you are not happy to be carried into the palace, why don't you tell him and let him go first?" One step has been made for you. Isn’t the decree still pending?”

She bit her lower lip, and even the backs of her ears felt a little hot.

In fact, she still can't figure it out.She is not good-looking at all, why would she be accused of marrying into Wu Wangfu.It's not a conclusive matter, it's just that someone whispered to her in her ear.When she was speaking, she was smiling brightly, as if she had already entered the palace and gained glory and wealth from that man.But even if she went in, the best thing was just a side view.

Besides, she doesn't want to go.

Her name is Ning Ai, Fang Ning Ai, she is an envoy who used to accompany Princess Chu Jindi of Dayin.There is nothing special in the house, and Grandpa's position is neither high nor low, just right.Now that the princess is married, she didn't accompany her as a dowry because of her grandfather's relationship, but now she is worried about getting rid of her.

I don't know where it was seen, so someone said, "It looks good, round and strong, and it looks like it is easy to spread. King Wu accepts it."Maybe it's because she looks like a good-natured woman without a strong background, so it's impossible for her to fight for the position?

However, I don't want to go.

The female officer who was in the same place bit her ear and whispered with a smile, and spread the words to her ears.From that day on, she couldn't help but want to sigh.

Originally, I wanted to do something up there, and when I was old, I could ask for grace and go home.No matter what kind of people you follow outside, it's better than being on the sidelines.

At that time, maybe, just maybe, the person Qing Dai mentioned will be willing to marry her.

She sighed again very slowly, more like panting deeply, and squinted her eyes to look at the bottom of the wall.

There are burning shadows, and occasionally someone walks by.

That's the guard on duty at home.When they are not working, some people will make appointments in twos and threes, go out for a drink, or go out for a practice session.When I came back, I was going to pass through that circuitous passage.Ning Ai has long been used to sitting in this place in a daze at a fixed time.If you're lucky, you can still meet that person.

——Ning Ai thinks that her recent luck has been quite good.

Just looking outside in a daze for a while, I saw a person walking away from the crowd and walking in her direction.

Ning Ai heard the sound of her own blood beating louder again, filling her entire chest, as if her heart couldn't stop jumping out, rushing to that person.

Why are you so ashamed.

She couldn't help reaching out and patting her cheek.It was hot, and I don't know if it turned red.

The figure walked very slowly, but it was also very steady. Every step it stepped on seemed to land on a fixed position, and the body didn't even shake a bit extra.

A Du.

She kept that person's name in her heart and chewed it countless times. After chewing it, she tried to swallow it into her stomach mixed with her shy thoughts.

When she was alone in the room at night, she would secretly dig out the name from the bottom of her heart, put it on the tip of her tongue, and call out in a low voice.

Qing Dai always laughed at her, saying she was a fool.Because, the third lady of the Fang family, who does she like?He is a guard who works in Fang's house.

"What do you like about him?"

When Qing Dai heard Ning Ai talk about this for the first time, her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and she stared at this cousin with a vaguely reproachful look.

Ning Ai tilted her head to the side and thought carefully for a long time before slowly saying:

"He's...beautiful and has a warm smile, but not a big one. He's tall and strong."

Qing Dai took a chance to have a look, and when she came back, she frowned even tighter.It was just an ordinary guard, more inconspicuous than his colleagues, and he couldn't see anything special at all.

Ning Ai herself was a little flustered.She has never experienced such a thing, and in the end, she just talked to Qingdai periodically, "It's just, it's just looking at joy, and there is no other meaning."Even his voice slowly lowered, as if he felt that he had done something wrong.

Qing Dai managed to hold back her sigh.

Ning Ai seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, and let out her thoughts bit by bit.

He had a drink with his colleagues today, and when he came back, his face was a little red;

He looked back at me and smiled at me;

It's his turn to be on duty today, and he has been following outside Grandpa's Gate.I went over with the food box.When I came out, I handed tea to him and the guard next to me. He took it, and he really took it, and thanked me.

……

It's all such small and small things, every drop of it is almost like a small lake.

Qingdai listened to Ning Ai talking about these little things every day, and gradually began to feel that Ning Ai's heart was getting stronger.

There is probably no reason to be happy with someone.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

Qing Dai always said this.Ning Ai immediately shook her head.

"Where can I talk. If I ask for grace, then I can go... go..."

But, what to go, even she herself doesn't know.She vaguely felt that that person would not like her.What he likes should be a beauty like Qing Dai, thin and white, tender as if water can be squeezed out, and so delicate that it can bloom flowers.

Every time she pulls Qing Dai from a distance to talk, the guard named A'Du always turns to look at them.After seeing it, he would quickly look away, but couldn't help turning his head to look again.

Ugh.

Today she was inexplicably courageous.

Perhaps because of that whisper, she felt that if she didn't show her thoughts, she would have no chance in this life.Even if Qing Dai is what he likes, she—she really wants to say it.

Lan Du saw Fang Ningai sitting on the side of the road with her head bowed from a distance, watching her eyes cast on the ground, but she didn't know what she was thinking.A pair of white and tender feet, wearing a pair of peach-colored shoes, swayed slightly, attracting all his eyes.

He stood for a while to gather himself, pursed his lips, and finally said:
"Third lady."

Ning Ai seemed to be frightened, and quickly raised her head to look at Lan Du, with a cautious look in her eyes that was too late to take back, and a feeling called "decision".

Lan Du was stunned.It was the first time he saw Ning Ai showing such an expression.

Ning Ai opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she bit her lip again.She glanced at Lan Du in a panic, and then remembered that she should stand up and talk to him, so she hurriedly stood up again, swept her skirt with her hand, and walked in front of Lan Du.

The skirt is very long.After Ning Ai stood up, her feet were covered all the way, with only a little toe exposed.

Lan Du couldn't help lowering his gaze, he was still thinking about the round ankle he saw just now, it must be very comfortable to the touch.But he immediately put back that thought, raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him.

Ning Ai was not very tall, so she stood in front of Lan Du, and adjusted to the lower position of Lan Du's chin.As soon as Lan Du lowered his head, he could see her slightly drooping hair and chin like a goose egg.A small piece of neck was exposed above the collar, and I don't know if it was because of shyness or the hot weather, it was even pinker and redder than usual.

She was already very nervous when she saw Lan Du just now, but now the sound of her chest thumping was like a sea tide, making her almost unable to stand still.The originally soft sunlight suddenly felt vicious to her.She gritted her teeth fiercely:
"I... I may be accused of marrying and going to Wu Wang's palace..."

Lan Du was staring at her earlobe in a daze, but when he heard her say this suddenly, his heart sank for no reason, and he froze.

Ning Ai looked up at Lan Du.

She was expecting this man to say something, even though she didn't know what she was expecting.But Lan Du—as expected, he didn't say a word.She then thought of Lan Du whom she saw on weekdays.

Always very decent and polite.He is a bodyguard bestowed by the palace, so he is naturally very well behaved.On weekdays, he looked around vigilantly, and when he saw the female relatives, he bowed his head respectfully.

She walked in front of Lan Du many times, only to see the other party's eyes falling in front of the ground.Gong Jing that annoyed her.

Except when she was with Qing Dai.

At that time, Lan Du's eyes seemed to be unable to help but drift towards Qing Dai.

"I..." She didn't know what to say.Maybe I just don't want to be silent in such embarrassment, or I just can't stop the sadness in my heart, "I don't want to be carried into the palace, I want to escape before the decree comes down. You... If you are willing to protect me , then... if... if... I will escape alone."

When she said this, even she herself was taken aback.That's not what she should say.It's just—feeling reconciled in her heart, she felt a rush of anger in her chest, and she said it regardless.

Words spoken are like water spilled and cannot be taken back.

She bravely raised her head to look at Lan Du, and sure enough, she saw the surprised expression on his face, looking straight at her.This was so shocking that he even forgot to abide by etiquette.

The surprise in Lan Du's eyes was too direct, which made her tremble with shame in an instant, and tears welled up in her eyes, which she held back.

She didn't even have the courage to explore Lan Du's thoughts again, because she was afraid of seeing the evaluation of "shameless" in those eyes.

"Forget it, forget it...you just pretend that I haven't said anything..."

"Hey……"

Lan Du stretched out his hand slightly, but before he could speak, the little lady in front of her, who was holding back tears, turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

He took a quick breath, and he didn't even have time to sort out what was going on in this series of events:

"Wait... Ah Ning, wait..."

But that chubby girl has run away to the point where only her back is left.

　This girl will join Lan Huaer's village in tomorrow's update~
