Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 108 Touching Porcelain
After the people from the yamen took him away, Jing Ning passed through the crowd of onlookers, went straight to Zheng Yanhe and helped him up, "Brother Yanhe, is there any injury?"

Zheng Yanhe stood up, patted all the dust off his body, shook his head at Jingning, then looked at Lan Yao behind her, and said, "Is this the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion?"

Only then did Jing Ning come to his senses, slapped his forehead, and pushed Lan Yao who was behind him to the front, "Brother Yanhe, this is Lan Yao, my best friend." Then he turned around, "Yaoyao, this is my best friend." It's my cousin, Zheng Yanhe."

Zheng Yanhe bowed to Lan Yao, "Miss Lan." Lan Yao also bowed back to him.

"Have Brother Yan and brother ever had lunch? If not, why not go together?" Jing Ning was naturally very happy to see Zheng Yanhe, but she did not forget to ask him what he meant.

"This..." Zheng Yanhe glanced at Lan Yao behind Jingning with some embarrassment, "This is not suitable."

Lan Yao seemed to see what he was thinking, and couldn't help smiling, "What's the matter, you are cousin Jing Ning, that is to say, a family, a family doesn't speak two different languages, it's just to add more dishes and chopsticks thing."

Seeing this, Zheng Yanhe didn't shirk anymore, and followed the two to the private room on the second floor. After they sat down, the food and drinks were served one after another.

Seeing a table full of wine and dishes, not only delicious in color but also in excellent appearance, Jing Ning couldn't help sighing, "As expected of Jinyue Tower, the appearance and color are excellent, but I don't know how it tastes?"

Lan Yao grinned and picked a meatball for her, "Of course it's also very good, try this cod meatball, I must order it every time I come here."

Jing Ning responded with a smile, took a small bite of the crystal-clear fish ball, it was unexpectedly delicious, the meat was soft and chewy, without a trace of fishy smell, but with a faint fragrance, Lan Yao was looking forward to it. He swallowed the remaining fish balls in one gulp, "It's really good, but I don't know what is the fragrance in this meat?"

Hearing this, Yingyu smiled and answered, "Miss always asks the store every time she comes, but every time she is dismissed as 'exclusive formula, not to be passed on'."

Lan Yaoxiang twisted Yingyu pretending to be angry, "You have your share everywhere."

Jing Ning chuckled and turned to Zheng Yanhe who was sitting beside him, "Why are Brother Yanhe here today?"

"I happened to pass by here, so I thought about coming over to have a look."

Jing Ning nodded and asked again, "How long will you stay?"

"Two days at most."

"That's just right, can I take you around this afternoon?"

Zheng Yanhe nodded after hesitating for a moment, "Alright."

After the meal, Lan Yao ordered Ying Yu to go out to pay the bill, while she walked out of the private room with Jing Ning and the others. One of them accidentally bumped into the person who came out from the next door. She was in so much pain that she almost burst into tears, and was about to speak. Hearing a cold voice from above his head, "Girl, are you alright?"

Jing Ning was taken aback when he heard the sound, and when he raised his head, he saw a pair of equally astonished eyes.

"It's you?" The two said in unison.

Lan Yao rubbed her sore nose, looking back and forth between the two, "You...know each other?"

"know."

"I don't know." The sound of not knowing, naturally came from Xiao Lin's mouth.

Lan Yao burst out laughing, "It looks like we know each other, I don't know how you respect your name?"

"Xiao Lin." The simple two words that came out of his mouth made people's hearts tremble.

Hearing these two words, Lan Yao's eyes lit up immediately, "You are Xiao Lin? I look forward to it for a long time."

Jing Ning smiled helplessly, coughed lightly to remind Lan Yao to pay attention to the occasion, and Xiao Lin who was beside them also noticed Zheng Yanhe who was following them, his pretty brows slightly frowned, "Who is he?"

Jing Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the "he" in his mouth was not referring to Lan Yao, but Zheng Yanhe behind them, "My cousin, if there is nothing else, we will leave first." Ready to pull Lan Yao away.

Who knows that Lan Yao turned around and hid, and said to Xiao Lin, "I wonder if Mr. Xiao is free this afternoon? Why don't we go for a walk together?"

Xiao Lin looked at Jingning for a while, then nodded unexpectedly, "Okay."

Besides, Zheng Xiuning on the other side, after being ordered by Zheng Anyan to stay at home and not allowed to go anywhere, became more and more irritable in her heart. She blamed that Zheng Jingning. If it wasn't for her, how could her father treat her like this? Thinking of this, she became more determined The idea that I must go out.

I walked around the mansion and found no place to go out. Naturally, it is impossible to go through the main entrance. If you want to leave the prime minister's mansion, unless your father agrees, no one can easily go out from here, over the wall?She would be thrown to death if she jumped out of such a high wall. After turning around, she fixed her eyes on a small hole in the corner of the wall.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help clenching her fists, her nails dug deep into her flesh but she didn't feel any pain at all, Zheng Jingning, what you owe me will have to be paid back sooner or later!

On the other side of the street, Lan Yao dragged Jing Ning to shuttle between large and small shops, "Jing Ning, do you think this hairpin looks good?"

Jing Ning looked back and saw that Lan Yao was holding an exquisite but not fancy hairpin in his hand, "It suits you quite well."

Lan Yao curled her lips, "Whoever wears this kind of thing, I'm asking you if you like it, and I'll give it to you."

Just as Jing Ning was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help being taken aback, why is she here?After regaining his senses, he saw that the figure had disappeared, Xiao Lin noticed her abnormality, walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Jing Ning shook his head, "It's nothing, maybe I was wrong."

In the shadowy corner of the street, Zheng Xiuning looked at Zheng Jingning who was not far away, and a plan suddenly came to his mind.

After shopping, Jing Ning and his group walked out of the store, suddenly an old woman ran straight towards them, Jing Ning subconsciously dodged to the side, staggered, and Xiao Lin who was beside him took her into his arms Step aside.

Looking at the old woman who was sitting on the ground and howling, the group of people couldn't help but frowned, "Oh, my old waist, you fell to my death." As they spoke, they glanced away at Jing Ning, and stretched out their fingers Looking at her, "It's you, you hit me, hey, you can't renege on your debt, you have to be responsible!"

Jing Ning now understands that this is a Pangci, and he even named Pengci as his own. He couldn't help but raise his brows, and Lan Yao, who was about to speak at the side, took a step ahead, "You see, the old woman is really Interesting, we just came out of that shop and saw you bumping straight into it. Besides, you have to be a little proficient in touching porcelain. I'm afraid you didn't even scratch the skin when you fell so lightly. Would you like me to help you? Give me a hand?" As he spoke, he reached for the leather whip on his waist.

The old woman was startled when she saw it, and got up quickly in fright, and ran away in a hurry.

Jing Ning thought of the figure he saw just now, maybe...not a hallucination?Xiao Lin looked down at the thoughtful woman in her arms and frowned again.
