There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 33

As the sky darkened a little bit, lanterns were lit up in the yard.Qiaoqiao and the others are also free at this moment, and they all stay beside the adults, quietly.Ning Shi and Ning Weiyun were very happy, sitting together and chatting about homework.But the careful Ning Shi still noticed that his sister glanced at the door from time to time, and then turned around to continue talking and drinking tea.

She sighed secretly in her heart, but there was no way to persuade her, so she had to hold her hand and talk to her.

When the courtyard door was pushed from the outside, Ning Weiyun's body trembled, and she immediately turned her head to look.With just one glance, she was discouraged, and her shoulders fell slightly.

"Ma'am, the master told you to go to the front hall with Mrs. Cheng first, and he will come over later." Liniang walked over and blessed Fu's body and said.

"Understood." Ning Weiyun responded coldly, then smiled at her sister and said, "Let's go, let's go there first."

"Let's go, we're all going to eat. Didn't you say you're hungry?" Ning called her two little children.

Five people plus Liniang and two little maids walked on the promenade full of lanterns. The night was very quiet and there was no sound, but after leaving this small courtyard, some laughter could be vaguely heard, never I don't know where the courtyard is coming.

Qiaoqiao raised her head, and under the light of the lantern, the aunt's face was flickering, looking extremely gloomy. She held on to her mother's hand, obediently followed and walked forward, not daring to say a word.

It was probably because the work was over, or it was inappropriate for the guests to neglect their visits. Coincidentally, they had just arrived in the front hall, and before they sat down, a person walked in from outside the door.

He is not too tall. He is around forty years old. He has a beard. He looks like a man of letters. Kidney deficiency state.

When he walked in, he laughed heartily, stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, is this my sister?"

Ning hurriedly blessed her: "Brother-in-law."

Qiaoqiao looked at this uncle, he was not the fat man with a fat head and big ears and a lewd face as she had imagined, but a somewhat frail scholar.When she was thinking wildly, Qu Nianqi bent over with a smile on his face, hugged her, stretched out his index finger and hooked her nose: "Is this the youngest girl? What's her name?"

"Yes, it's called Qiaoqiao."

"The little girl is very clever." He said, and he asked casually: "Has this girl talked about marriage? Let me see if there is a suitable one, and tell her a good marriage?"

Qiaoqiao was not worried at all, and sure enough, Ning replied with a smile: "The child is still young, let's talk about it in a few years."

Qu Nian probably didn't have the heart here, nodded and put Qiaoqiao down, praised Cheng Zhiyuan a few more words, and then took his seat.

He sat down and looked around: "Is it just us?"

Ning Weiyun sat next to him, the hand that was about to pour wine for him paused: "Yes."

"Call them over as well. It's only fun when the whole family gathers together. It's just us, it's too deserted." Qu Nian waved his hands, not allowing anyone to say a word, and directly greeted the servant who was waiting by the side Call over and tell him to call the aunts and wives in each room to come over.

By the way, I asked Liniang to go to the kitchen to add a few more dishes, and the ones that are ready can be served first, and just wait while eating.

Ning Weiyun's face became very ugly, and he took a few deep breaths, turned around and smiled calmly: "Husband, come." He poured a glass of wine and pushed it over.

"it is good."

Soon, gorgeous women came up, one by one, the room that was originally quiet and warm suddenly changed its tone, filled with a thick and choking fragrance, it suddenly became lively.

Ning originally planned to have a simple meal with her sister and brother-in-law, treat it as a family meeting, talk about the family relationship, so that the situation of the sister and brother-in-law can improve, or contact the relationship between the two, so that the sister can feel better Some, but now it seems that this meal, not only did not work, but also caused my sister to be even more severely stimulated.

"Master, you eat this, I picked out all the fish bones, this fish is well stewed, tender and smooth." The fourth aunt said softly, she put a piece of fish into Qu Nianqi's bowl, and said He took the opportunity to wink.

Qu Nianqi didn't show much color and appearance, he still looked like a weak gentleman, he picked up the piece of meat and immediately put it in his mouth to chew carefully, and praised that it was delicious, this time, the other People also started to put vegetables in his bowl one after another.

Ning looked at it silently for a while, then lowered her head and said to her sister, "Sister, let's eat first, the children are all hungry."

One sentence awakened Ning Weiyun, and she showed a wry smile mixed with despair to her younger sister: "I made my younger sister laugh. Tell the children to eat."

Ning nodded, picked up the food and put it in the bowls of Qiaoqiao, Zhiyuan and Zhiwen.

The three children lowered their heads and ate, not saying much.Ning looked at her brother-in-law with a dignified face, who still looked like a gentleman, and couldn't help but clenched his fists. It was too much. Anyway, he wouldn't do this in front of the child. It would hurt the child's heart.

Ning Shi looked at Zhiwen, without the liveliness of the day, with his head down, picking at the rice grains in the bowl, occasionally eating a few bites of the food that Ning Shi gave him, only when he looked up occasionally, his eyes showed a cold look. Light, looking at the crowd of men and women opposite.

For a meal, what you eat is tasteless.

Seeing that Qu Nianqi was finally being helped out of the hall by the fourth concubine and her servant, Ning immediately turned around and held her sister's cold hand: "Sister, let's go back and rest."

"En." Ning Weiyun said lightly, letting her younger sister hold her hand and follow her back.

Ning was worried, and after serving her sister to wash and change, she was about to leave, but was grabbed by Ning Weiyun, her eyes were red: "Sister, sleep with me all night."

Her voice was choked up, her lips trembled slightly, and the look of expectation on her face was so eager, Ning smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Why not, sister, you are welcome, I will go and hug Qiaoqiao and let her sleep outside , we sisters will sleep here again, just like when we were kids, okay?"

Ning Weiyun nodded blankly.

Qiaoqiao knew that Auntie was not feeling well, so when Ning said with a little guilt that she would go to bed with her sister, Qiaoqiao immediately agreed, and after washing up, she lay down on the small bed outside Auntie's room alone, listening to the Mother gently coaxed her, and she slowly fell asleep.

Ning Weiyun lay there, not saying a word, just tears kept streaming, Ning was anxious at first, but she was coaxing, but later, she had no choice but to cry with her sister, as if she wanted to shed those tears for her. Wronged, painful and depressed.

After waking up in the morning, Ning looked at her sister first, and found that she was breathing steadily and sleeping soundly. After being relieved, she ran outside, kicked off the small quilt Qiaoqiao, and lay on the bed with big characters, her hair sticky Most of the face.Ning smiled and covered her with a thin quilt, and then went outside.

When she came back, Ning Weiyun had already got up, turned around and smiled at her, and she was the noble and elegant Mrs. Qu family who would not be knocked down by anything.

Seeing her laugh, Ning felt her nose sore, but she could only laugh along with it: "My sister just got up, today is lazy, I slept for so long."

"I got up late when I was with you. When we were young, every time we two sisters slept together, we would have to babble until midnight, and the next day we would have to sleep until my mother came to lift the quilt." Speaking of this, it seems to be remembered In the past, there was a sincere smile on his face.

This is the life her sister chooses. Ning is helpless, she doesn't have much ability, but even if she has great ability, she can't let her sister leave her brother-in-law, or make her brother-in-law concentrate on loving her sister, so she also laughed and talked Opened the topic.

After Ning washed her face, she went out with a wooden basin and poured it out. Looking at the square courtyard with high walls, she felt very oppressed, and her heart was crumpled into a ball. Under the circumstances, I have suffered to this day, and I don’t know how much I have been wronged and suffered.Even, after waking up early in the morning, you will see those women coming up to pay their respects, day after day, until death will never end.

This kind of life is not worth ten thousand gold!

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" When Ning turned her head, it happened that her little daughter was tugging at her sleeve, looking at her with a cute little appearance.

"It's okay, don't go out with your little brother and cousin too much on weekdays, if you have time, spend more time with your aunt, okay? Make her happy."

"Mother, I know." Qiaoqiao hugged Ning Shi who was squatting down, wrapped her arms around her neck, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, I miss Daddy and Big Brother."

Ning's heart softened, and she hugged her little daughter. An adult couldn't help but feel chills when she saw this situation, and she wanted to go home, let alone a child. She patted her daughter on the back: "Be cute, Stay with Auntie for a few more days, and we'll go back."

"it is good."
