Chapter 23
Ning Wanzhu remembered very clearly that his cousin Yan Changsheng was four or five years older than himself, and he never left his little book.Later, at the age of 13, he went to Beijing to study, and at the age of 17, he became a Jinshi in high school. The Yan family was all proud of him.

Sure enough, when the stepmother Yan heard the voice of her cousin Yan Changsheng, her brows and eyes softened immediately.She looked around, and then said with a smile: "Come in! Although there are all female relatives in this room, they are all your relatives."

With a "squeak", the door was opened.Hearing the sound of boots, a handsome young man in a deep blue satin jacket walked in from the door. After entering, he bowed deeply to Yan Shi.Ning Wanzhu looked at him from the side, and saw that the boy was only about ten years old, and his figure was a little frail, but there was a strong sense of book in his expression.The boy's face was very thin, his chin was pointed, and his complexion was a little pale, probably the result of studying hard since he was a child.His appearance is not much like that of Yan Shi.Yan's face is like a full moon, and he looks like a man.

But Ning Wanzhu knew that this cousin Yan Changsheng followed his mother's appearance, so he was not a typical Yan family.

Yan Changsheng first thanked Yan Shi: "The Zhuangtou couple has arranged for my nephew's residence. My nephew has just visited it, and it is very suitable, so I am here to thank my aunt."

Yan smiled, shook his hand at him, and said, "Your second younger sister has been living in this village for the past few months, so you probably haven't seen her much before!" She gestured for Ning Wanzhu to come to her. .

Yan Changsheng looked at Ning Wanzhu with a smile, then turned his head to look at Ning Luozi, and said, "The second younger sister looks very similar to the elder sister, presumably it's because of the first mother..."

As soon as he said this, all the female relatives in the hall showed embarrassment on their faces.The expression on Aunt Shao's face was as if she wanted to find a hole to drill down.

But Yan Shi didn't take it seriously, looked at the nephew with loving eyes, and said: "Your second sister is born to my Aunt Shao..." Saying this, Aunt Shao came to meet Yan Changsheng.

Yan Changsheng was a little surprised, turned his face away, and looked at Ning Wanzhu and Ning Luozi.Ning Luozi couldn't help but shrink back a little, as if she was not so willing to let Yan Changsheng see clearly.But Ning Wanzhu accepted Yan Changsheng's gaze calmly.

Yan Changsheng suddenly felt that he was a little rude, and he was a little embarrassed. He quickly looked back at the two sisters, and coughed twice to cover up.

However, Ning Wanzhu suddenly felt that two eyes were staring at her closely.She raised her eyes slightly, but saw that it was Yan Shi.Yan Shi's eyes were deep, like a thousand-foot-thousand-foot deep pool, with no bottom at all.Compared with Yan Changsheng, Ning Wanzhu is more curious about how Yan Shi will view himself.

At that moment, Ning Wanzhu withdrew from Yan's room, and quickly called Mo Lan to find out what happened to the box Chang Shining gave her.Mo Lan is worthy of being a little maid with a wide network. Within an hour, she had already reported to Ning Wanzhu, saying: "It was the eldest lady who took down the box halfway, without going through the second lady. That's why the second lady was very angry. It happened once. Later, when the second master came back from Zhuangzi, he didn't ask clearly. He only heard that the family had withheld things for the second lady, and in the end, even the second wife was left behind. So the second wife is very concerned about this matter!"

It turned out that this was the case, Ning Wanzhu thought, a dog can't change eating shit, and live a new life, Ning Luozi still stares at Chang Shining and won't let it go!
The news that the Ning family came to Zhuangzi also reached the Cao family.After lunch, Cao Yue'e, accompanied by Cao Shijun, came over together.

Cao Shijun and Yan Changsheng are two teenagers who are almost the same age, and they are both practicing stereotyped art, so they became acquainted and became good friends after meeting.

When Cao Yue'e met Ning Luozi, she was quite enthusiastic at the beginning.She and Ning Luozi are finally old friends, but they haven't seen each other for quite some time.But after the two little girls chatted for a while, Cao Yue'e felt that Ning Luozi was not paying attention at all, and she was not treating each other with sincerity.Cao Yue'e was young and unrestrained, and immediately said: "Sister Ning, do you blame me for coming, or do you feel so happy when I put my hot face on your cold ass?"

Ning Luozi widened her eyes in surprise, and after a while she calmed down and said reluctantly: "Sister Yue'e, why should a lady like you say these words? I don't want to talk to you Common knowledge of children."

Cao Yue'e was even more angry when she heard this, she rushed to find Ning Wanzhu, complained to her, and finally said: "Sister Ning said that like she is an adult herself."

Ning Wanzhu was secretly amused when she heard this, and thought: This Ning Luozi, I am afraid that after being reborn, she will think about things that adults would think about all day long, and she has never really thought about how to get along with the children around her!She dragged Cao Yue'e to her room and said, "Madam Ye steamed some rice cakes today, they are very sweet, let's eat them."

However, when the Cao brothers and sisters went back, when Ning Wanzhu saw Ning Luoziwo acting coquettishly beside Yan Shi, she was in admiration. This Ning Luozi probably didn't bother to get along with children of the same age, but rather She put all her thoughts into pleasing the people she wanted to please.

Ning Wanzhu thought that she couldn't do this. In front of Yan Shi, she was always very quiet, or seemed to be very dull.When Yan Shi asked a question, she answered it without any cleverness.Yan Shi remained calm, only asked a few casual words, then presumed that he was tired, and ordered the wet nurse to carry the two young masters down to rest.

Ning Wanzhu hurriedly said goodbye when she saw the opportunity, and when she came out, she only heard Yan behind her say to Mama Jin in a voice that everyone could hear: "This child, say she is smart, she can't speak at all, and she is stunned when she sees people." Yes. Call her stupid, but she is very good at winking. I'm afraid..."

Ning Wanzhu doubted that these words were not for Mama Jin alone.

After dinner in the evening, Ning Wanzhu went back to her room.Ever since she heard about Yan's plan to visit Zhuangzi, Ning Wanzhu moved out of the green gauze closet at Madam Ye's place and moved back to the small courtyard originally allocated to her. Accompanied by Mo Mei, Mo Lan was given the water and water, and told her to be careful in everything.However, when the stepmother Yan Shi came to Zhuangzi, no matter how stupid Aunt Shao was, she wouldn't find this time to harm herself!

Mo Mei followed Ning Wanzhu, and the master and servant went back to the small courtyard.The two passed a long alleyway with high walls on both sides and doors at both ends.Passing through this narrow alley, you will pass through a narrow courtyard, and then you will find the backyard where the female relatives live.

The two were about to reach the end of the alleyway, when Mo Mei suddenly stopped, tugged at Ning Wanzhu's sleeve, and whispered something to her.

Ning Wanzhu was puzzled, turned her head and said softly: "You play by ear." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed open the wooden door at the end of the alleyway—the courtyard was pitch black with no lights.

Suddenly, a cloth bag covered Ning Wanzhu's head, only to hear Mo Mei shouted twice, followed by the sound of fists hitting the person's body, "Ouch" and "Ouch", the voice was very loud. It's old, and it sounds like the Ning family came to Zhuangzi to serve Yan Shi's servant.

Ning Wanzhu struggled twice and tore off the cloth bag on her head.I saw a person on the opposite side holding a lantern to shine on me.The person was not tall, and the light of the lantern was reflecting on her face—"Luo Zi!" Ning Wanzhu couldn't help shouting.

Hearing this address, Ning Luozi's expression became very ferocious. She raised the lantern in her hand, pointed it at Ning Wanzhu, and said, "Don't slap her head and face, beat this girl hard."

"To please and act obediently in front of your stepmother, don't you think I don't know what you're hiding? I don't know what's so good about you girl. Brother Shining is just thinking about you..." Ning Luozi said these words, jealous It was so heavy that it made people's teeth sour.

Ning Wanzhu felt chills in her heart, she knew that Ning Luozi had come prepared, and the purpose was to express her bad temper about the day's events and teach her a lesson at the same time.And judging from this posture, Ning Luozi should have been prepared long ago, not only bought off the maid beside Yan Shi, but also calculated that this was the only way to go back to the backyard.As long as there is a seal on the front and back yard doors, no one will be able to find out what happened here.

If she hadn't brought the girl Mo Mei, I'm afraid she would really suffer a big loss in the hands of Ning Luozi this time——Ning Wanzhu couldn't help but blame herself, she was too careless and underestimated Ning Luozi lost her courage.

But the maid beside Ning Luozi obviously underestimated Mo Mei's ability.Although Mo Mei is young, she has always been a serious family boy who has learned how to fight.She is relatively small, only reaching the shoulders of those two or three old women.At that moment, she turned around to the old mothers, hitting their joints and ankles and other painful parts.After playing two laps, several people couldn't help but yelled out in pain, "Ouch", "Ouch", endlessly.

"Useless stuff, shut up now—" Ning Luozi told several servants to shut up one after another, but there was no way to stop her.It was Ning Wanzhu who called softly, and said, "Mo Mei, stop! Take them all back to the servant's room in the inner courtyard, and tell them to keep silent. If you spread a word about the affairs here, you will be killed." Make them pretty."

Mo Mei was a little worried, but she couldn't hold back Ning Wanzhu, so she kicked an old lady in the back, and the old lady screamed like killing a pig. "Get out quickly—" Mo Mei escorted a few people to the backyard. In this small courtyard, only sisters Ning Wanzhu and Ning Luozi were left.

Ning Luozi's hand holding the lantern also began to tremble, and the look on her face, she didn't know whether it was anger or panic.

Ning Wanzhu knew that what really terrified Ning Luozi was her "Luozi" just now.

"Ning Luozi," Ning Wanzhu said in the quiet night, "You guessed right, but I remembered." Her voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the cool evening wind.

"You...you, don't be brave, with my aunt here, no one will believe your words..." Ning Luozi said in a panic.

"Yeah, no one will believe what I say, so what should I do?" Ning Wanzhu looked at Ning Luozi, a smile slowly bloomed from the corner of her mouth.Ning Luozi saw Ning Wanzhu's smile with the dim light of the lantern in her hand, and felt that the smile was extremely strange.
