Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 223 Hot Spring Rest
"The sister-in-law means to wait for my brother to finalize the engagement at any time!" Xiao Yuan's eyes sparkled, and her voice was filled with joy.

Jing Ning didn't answer the question.

"What, what, Jingning, are you going to get married now? No, if you get married, I won't be able to hang out with you often in the future. Anyway, Xiao Lin is determined to marry you alone, and you delay Last year or two." Lan Yao's familiar voice came.

Jing Ning turned around and saw Lan Yao approaching in a hurry, and hurriedly handed him a cup of tea, "What are you talking about, I didn't say I was going to get married now! Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came, I'll go to meet you."

Lan Yao and Xiao Yuan greeted each other briefly, then waved at Jing Ning nonchalantly, "Is there anything to say in advance, we need you to greet us in this relationship? Pour me another glass of water, I'm thirsty." .”

"Is there anything urgent? I see you are in such a hurry. Don't be so anxious next time." Jing Ning hastily served another cup of tea.

"It's a good thing to find you. I've always been in such a hurry, and you don't know it. It's not urgent. Let's talk later. Why did I just hear that you are going to marry Xiao Lin?"

"Yaoyao, what kind of tone are you talking about?" Xiao Yuan curled her lips aside, "Jing Ning and my brother have a marriage contract for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before they marry into the Xiao family. Moreover, even if Jing Ning gets married, You can still go and play with her, it just so happens that I'm here, it's more convenient for the three of us, and our Xiao family doesn't care about this, so you don't have to worry, you can go whenever you want."

Lan Yao smiled, "Silly girl, that's what you said, but it's still different, you'll know when you get married." Saying this, Lan Yao looked at Jing Ning, waiting for Jing Ning to speak.Although I also like Xiao Yuan and her personality, Lan Yao is more inclined to Jing Ning between the two, so even though Xiao Yuan has been expecting Jing Ning to marry into the Xiao family, Lan Yao still wants to hear it for herself. Jing Ning admitted.

But Jing Ning didn't agree with the two, neither admitted nor denied, but directly changed the subject, "Yaoyao, tell me first, what's so good about your sudden arrival?"

Lan Yao seemed to know that Jing Ning would change the subject, so she didn't say anything, and didn't ask any further questions.

"It's not autumn. The weather in early autumn is dry and we need more water. Although it is already past early autumn, let's not delay our water replenishment. Let's go to the hot spring. It just so happens that there is a Zhuangzi outside the city, and that Zhuangzi is away from the city. A natural hot spring is very close. Two days ago, Zhuangzi’s housekeeper sent someone to tell me that the natural hot spring has been drained to a part of Zhuangzi. I thought, I’ll call you all to go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot spring.”

"Soak in hot springs! Okay, okay." Xiao Yuan looked envious, "I don't want to exercise every day, I want to relax a long time ago. And as long as my sister-in-law goes, my brother will definitely agree with me. So, sister-in-law, let's go, let's go to the hot spring together. It's very comfortable."

Seeing Xiao Yuan's silly yearning look, Jing Ning suppressed a smile, and deliberately joked, "Seeing that you want to go so much, you can go, I won't go anyway."

"Ah?" Xiao Yuan looked dumbfounded, "Why don't you go? Sister-in-law, you must go. If you don't go, my brother will definitely not agree to my going. Go, go, you just go together .”

"What's so fun about soaking in hot springs. It's boring, boring."

"Soaking in hot springs is very comfortable. Moreover, soaking in hot springs has many benefits and is good for the body. Especially this autumn. The weather in autumn is very dry. Soaking in hot springs can increase humidity, relax muscles and bones, and It can beautify and nourish the skin..."

Watching Xiao Yuan keep her mouth open, she kept introducing the benefits of soaking in the hot springs, and then encouraged Jing Ning to go to the hot springs, Jing Ning and Lan Yao finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yo, Yuan, I didn't realize that you like hot springs so much, and you have done so much research on hot springs."

"Yes, I've always wanted to go to the hot springs, but I never had the chance. Why don't you want to go, sister-in-law." Xiao Yuan lay down and sighed deeply.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's slightly melancholy expression, Lan Yao finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha, I'm kidding you! How could Jingning not go to such a good thing? Besides, if Jingning didn't Like, why would I come to her."

"Really?" Xiao Yuan immediately straightened her body and looked at Jing Ning with a smile, "I know sister-in-law that you love me the most, right?"

"Of course not." Jing Ning said intentionally, "Of course I also like hot springs. It's not just because of you."

Xiao Yuan felt that she was being molested by everyone all day, so she couldn't help stamping her feet angrily.But the result is always good, and the three of them finalized the time.Decided to pack the clothes tomorrow and set off together the day after tomorrow.

Zhuangzi was in the outskirts of the city, so it wasn't that close, but compared to other young ladies who traveled a few days away from the capital, Zhuangzi seemed very close.

One morning, the three of them set off with a few servants and bits and pieces of luggage in the twilight of the morning sun and the cool autumn wind.

Xiao Yuan was very lively along the way, "Let me tell you, when I told my brother yesterday, my brother agreed directly. Before I moved my sister-in-law out, he actually agreed directly! Before even It’s because I have to be questioned by him every time I go out of the mansion, and I may not be able to go out, and every time I can go out, it must be because I said to cultivate feelings with my sister-in-law.”

Lan Yao smiled deeply, but didn't answer.Jing Ning originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Lan Yao's smile, something flashed through his mind, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back, but a hint of expectation rose in his heart.

Fortunately, there were three of them as companions during the morning's trip, allowing them to spend the morning talking and laughing easily and happily.

As soon as she arrived at Zhuangzi, Xiao Yuan couldn't wait to jump down by herself, stretching her arms while complaining, "It's finally here. I've been sitting in the carriage this morning, and I'm so tired that my back hurts."

Lan Yao and Jing Ning got out of the carriage, and Jing Ning took a deep breath, "The air here is fresher than in Beijing."

"It's natural. The air and everything else in the capital is full of smog. How can it compare to this Zhuangzi. Enjoy it. I'll make arrangements for it first." After saying that, Lan Yao advanced into Zhuangzi by herself, letting Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan strolled slowly behind.Although she had already told the butler before, but after all, she was her own Zhuangzi and entertained her best friend, so Lan Yao carefully arranged to check it again.

The three of them simply washed up and had lunch together.There were only three ladies and their personal maids on the table, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy. It seemed that when their carriage ran over the boundary of the city gate, everything around them was relaxed and happy.

After making an appointment to go to the hot spring together after a short lunch break, the three of them went back to their own yards. Seeing Xiao Yuan bouncing away, Jing Ning turned and walked towards Lan Yao's yard.

Lan Yao was surprised when she saw Jingning coming to find her, "What's the matter, but the yard is uncomfortable?"

"There's nothing wrong with your arrangement. I'm here to ask you, you invited Xiao Lin and the others, right?"

"Hey, our family, Jing Ning, is indeed the smartest. They will come together tomorrow morning, but the bad news is that Yun Heng will also come."
