There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 31

Do you always have to wake up every time you have a good dream, Qiaoqiao moaned extremely depressed.

Ning also woke up, seeing Qiaoqiao writhe: "Are you awake, Qiaoqiao?"

"Well, mother, it's time for us to get up."

"It's time to wake up. It's been a long time since dawn." Ning sat up, looked at the two clothes on the bed, hesitated for a while, and directly picked up the dress that her sister had prepared for her.

"Mrs. Cheng is up?" Xu Shi, the little maid outside, heard the movement, knocked on the door and asked softly.

"Yes, up. Come in."

Several maidservants filed in, some put down the washbasin, some put on towels, and two went to the bed: "Let me help Mrs. Cheng."

"Okay, go and help my daughter wear it." Ning stretched out her arms and calmly instructed another little maid.

Qiaoqiao opened her small mouth and looked at her mother, feeling that she could use that calm and superior aura very freely, that stretched arm, just like the wives of those rich families.

She was hugged by a maid on the side of the bed, and put on her clothes gently.

The maids had very smart hands. After putting on their clothes, they washed Qiaoqiao and carried her to the dressing table: "Come on, Miss Cheng, let me comb your hair for you. What do you want?"

This maid looks not particularly good-looking, with single eyelids and slightly dark skin, but she looks very energetic, and there is a sense of generosity in her speech. Qiaoqiao has a good impression of her, and said with a smile: "Sister, just comb it for me." ,I like all of them."

"Okay. Miss, just call me Qingmei." Qingmei skillfully grabbed her hair, parted it from the middle, tied a bun on the left and right sides, and left some strands of hair below, which naturally fell to her shoulders. He grabbed a few red hair ties on the stage, tied them in one by one, and hid them in the middle of the hair.Finally, she pushed some hair forward a few times, and said with a smile, "Okay, do you like it, Miss?"

"I like it, it looks good." Qiaoqiao jumped down, her small face in the mirror was clean and delicate, the soft hair was mixed with a red headband, which complemented the pink clothes on her body, especially her eyes rolled , very agile, she smiled happily, turned around and saw that her mother had also packed up, and against the background of the clothes and the simple and luxurious jewelry on her head, she had a different temperament from before, and she looked much more elegant. Adding a bit of inviolable momentum, Qiaoqiao rushed over and hugged: "Mother, let's go, go and see if little brother is alright?"

When the three came to the small courtyard where Ning Weiyun lived, Liniang was helping her comb her hair.

"Sister, come and help me see, which hairpin looks good? It matches my clothes?"

Ning picked up a few and handed one to Liniang: "Just this one, it matches the color of the clothes."

"Okay, I'm hungry. I eat alone on weekdays. Now that you are here, I just want to join in the fun and eat with you. That's why no one sent food to your courtyard. Liniang, go and ask the kitchen to bring over some breakfast and more snacks."

After the breakfast was delivered, they were eating happily when Liniang came over suddenly, leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

Ning Weiyun's complexion changed: "Let her go back, just say that she won't come to pay her respects for a few days."

"it is good."

"Wait." Ning hurriedly called to stop Liniang, and said to her sister, "Is someone here to greet you, sister, this is still in accordance with the rules, don't break the rules because of us, we sisters can speak at any time .”

Ning Weiyun snorted coldly: "They have to use it to greet me."

Liniang also hesitated, and then said: "Madam, since Mrs. Cheng is going to live here for a while, she will see her sooner or later, why not let them come over now to say hello."

"There must be a banquet at night to welcome my sister."

"That……"

"Go, let them come." Ning hurriedly waved her hand to Liniang.

Seeing that Madam didn't object anymore, Liniang walked out quickly.

The four of them had only eaten half of their meal, so they had to stop temporarily. Ning Weiyun sat on the first seat above, and Ning Shi also sat aside with his two children in his arms.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came.

Qiaoqiao stared at her with wide eyes, but before she saw anyone stepping in, she heard a voice that seemed to be full of joy: "Madam, are we interrupting Madam's meal?"

The first woman who came in was in her early twenties, she wore a light blue moon dress, and had a high bun with a few phoenix hairpins stuck in her hair. He walked up to Ning Weiyun generously, and leaned down: "Please greet Madam. Madam is very happy today. She has forgotten about our sisters. Is it an eyesore even to see her?" She spoke, It's like being coquettish to someone very close to you, making people smile and don't want to blame.

"What can I be happy about?" Ning Weiyun also smiled back, looking very decent.

"Madam's sister is here, you are happy to have her with you, but don't forget us sisters." The woman turned her head and said to the others.

"Yes, ma'am." Another answerer, this woman was wearing a peach red that was close to the red, and she smiled alluringly, and her every move seemed to be seductive, especially her voice, which sounded like It's like someone is tickling you with a feather, it will make your whole body numb.

The rest of them bent down to greet Ning Weiyun, and Ning Weiyun pointed to the seat next to them to sit down.

"Is this Madam's younger sister? She looks very similar to Madam." The woman in the light blue Yuehua dress asked aloud.

Ning Weiyun nodded, and said to her sister, "Let me tell you, this is the third aunt."

Then he pointed to the charming woman in peach pink clothes and said, "This is the fourth concubine."

Next to the eighth aunt, a total of six people are here.

The fourth aunt waited for her to finish the introduction, got up and said, "Ma'am, the second aunt is too unwell, let me tell you, she can't come to pay her respects, and she will make amends tomorrow."

"Have you asked the doctor to come and see it?" Ning Weiyun asked aloud as he still had to do well on the surface.

"I'm calling, I'm checking my pulse."

Qiaoqiao's eyes are too busy, she looks at this one and that one at a time, sighing secretly in her heart, life is really difficult for auntie, these women are more beautiful than the other, and each has its own characteristics, some are charming , Some are delicate, some are soft, and all of them are younger than the aunt, and the eighth aunt looks only sixteen or seventeen years old.

A few people chattered and brought the topic to Qiaoqiao and Cheng Zhiyuan. Qiaoqiao looked at the poor little brother beside him, and could hardly bear it anymore. Her buttocks moved back and forth, as if she was being tortured.

"Miss Cheng is petite and cute, which makes people hurt." The third aunt looked at Qiaoqiao with a big smile and began to praise her.

Ning said a few words of modesty, but Ning Weiyun was not modest at all: "Yes, my sister hurts like a baby."

"This is what it should be. With such a good child, which mother can not be hurt? Even if it is me, I can't help but want to hug this child a few times after seeing this child."

Ning Weiyun was probably genuinely happy after hearing Qiaoqiao's words of praise, and after a while, the fourth aunt's soft voice suddenly sounded: "Is this child allowed?"

"No, we'll talk about it later." Ning looked up at her.

"Yes, when she is older, choose someone who treats her sincerely, so that this child will not be wronged for nothing." Ning Weiyun felt a little emotional in his heart, and couldn't help but say it out.

The fourth aunt smiled too: "This child is good-looking, and he will definitely be favored for a long time."

Ning's complexion changed, and Ning Weiyun's face fell instantly, but the fourth concubine didn't seem to see it, and turned to the seventh concubine who had been silent behind her and said, "You think so?"

This seventh concubine is a noble lady in a brothel, she is the most beautiful, and she has the longest life of grace. For a full three years, the master has not taken a concubine again, but the fourth concubine said this on purpose, what is there in it? There is no implied meaning, it is self-evident.

The third aunt still had that faint smile on her face, without any change, while the seventh aunt who was being questioned by the fourth aunt snorted without rolling her eyes, and muttered something in her mouth.

After all, Aunt Eight is still young and has a little less experience, her complexion is not very good-looking, and she keeps sneaking glances at Ning Weiyun.

The rest of them sat still, as if everything that happened in front of them had nothing to do with them.

Ning Weiyun clenched her hands tightly, and when she was about to shout angrily, Ning's hand covered hers and patted her lightly.

"My Qiaoqiao is still young, thank you all aunts and wives for your concern." Ning's voice was not very loud, but she was determined.

For a moment, the room became cold and no one spoke.

Qiaoqiao also lowered her head and silently counted her fingers.

"Ah!" Fourth Aunt suddenly screamed and stood up from her seat.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you, sit down." Ning Weiyun scolded her.

The fourth aunt stretched out her hand to touch her neck. It was okay if she didn't touch it, but the screaming became louder when she touched it. The sticky touch on her hand made her feel that something bad must have fallen on it.

At the same time as she yelled, the fifth concubine and sixth concubine behind her also called out one by one, jumping around to dodge after getting up.

Qiaoqiao raised their heads and looked at them in astonishment. After a while, Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he leaned into his sister's ear excitedly and said, "Someone is shooting a slingshot."

Qiaoqiao burst into laughter: "But why is there water flowing down, it's so dirty."

"You don't understand. Hitting it after being stained with muddy water hurts and stains your clothes." Cheng Zhiyuan was excitedly gearing up, wishing to join the slingshot shooters who came from nowhere.

Qiaoqiao looked out, only to see a few small figures occasionally appearing on the wall, and then disappeared immediately after firing a bullet. Several children took turns to fight.It turned the world upside down for these aunts and wives.

However, Qiaoqiao looked at the third aunt standing beside them in surprise, her light blue clothes were also left with a black mark, but it was much better than others, and, she Still maintaining that slight smile, in this flustered situation, he quickly and decisively stood here, and sure enough, he didn't receive another marble.Qiaoqiao looked up, and the third aunt also felt her gaze, lowered her head and smiled at her, Qiaoqiao also smiled back sweetly.

Ning Weiyun soon knew what was going on, she calmed down, and after looking at these embarrassed women, she slowly stood up.

"Ma'am!!!" The fourth aunt who was most embarrassed ran to Ning Weiyun and shouted.

Ning Weiyun saw that the commotion was serious enough, she got up and stood in front of the women, blocking the door of the house, sure enough, those slingshots stopped shooting, she slowly turned around and said to them: " Let's all go back, the master may come back tonight, and we will have a meal together then."

"Ma'am, this was done by the young master again." The fourth aunt was too unwilling to leave, her coquettish posture just now was extremely embarrassing, her hair was all loose, and there were many round mud marks on her face.

"The young master is not at home, Zheng Tongpan asked him to play, this is with the master's consent." Ning Weiyun retorted unhurriedly.

"Except for the young master, who else would do this?" Fourth Aunt was too impatient, shouting without choice.

"Presumptuous, how can the young master allow you, a servant, to comment!" Ning Weiyun calmed him down with a cold drink, and then said: "Hurry up and go back and wash up."

She frowned, and took two steps back in disgust. The fourth aunt clenched her fists in resentment. Seeing that everyone else was blessed and hurriedly retreated and went to change, she had no choice but to leave immediately, without even making a gesture. , Just left without saying hello.

Seeing that they were all gone, Ning Weiyun sat down on a chair and couldn't help but smile.

Ning also laughed, lowered her head and asked softly, "Is it Zhiwen?"

"Is there anyone else besides this brat?"

After a while, after all the aunts and wives returned to their rooms, a small figure rushed in from outside.

He ran quickly, and stood in front of Ning Weiyun. Qiaoqiao was a little dazed, and stared at him fixedly. This child was full of vitality. The room was originally dark and obscure. When he came in like this, he seemed to be It was as if the bright sunshine outside had been brought in. The room was suddenly brightened, almost blinding people's eyes. He grinned, swayed the slingshot in his hand, and there were a few shallow mud marks on his face: "Mom! , are you happy?"
