Chapter 26
Before Ning Wanzhu wrote, she had thought carefully.

She remembered an event from her previous life, which showed Yan Changsheng's personality.

It was after Yan Changsheng entered the Taixue, there was a village woman in a southwestern province who was starved to death because her family wanted to build a chastity archway for her.At that time, Yan Changsheng led all the students of Taixue to petition the imperial court, imploring the imperial court to abolish the method and reasons for rewarding "chaste women". The family of the "thiefy woman" will be punished heavily, so as to prevent the women of the world from being poisoned by such hypocritical etiquette.

Of course, that village woman was far away in the southwest, and had nothing to do with Yan Changsheng at all.It was entirely out of righteous indignation that Yan Changsheng came forward to lead the Tai students to make trouble.

From that incident, it can be seen that Yan Changsheng is an upright person with a warm heart.Later, Yan Changsheng followed his father Ning Yu and supported the crown prince in the court. He also followed the Confucian orthodox principle of succession of kings and nobles.Ning Wanzhu believed in his father's character, so he was also willing to believe in Yan Changsheng—in this life, even though the future was full of variables, this cousin of the Yan family was also willing to stand by his father and on the side of justice.

After Ning Wanzhu thought all these things through, he wrote the brush. Although the painting was a mountain scene, it also implied Yan Changsheng's future.She hoped that Yan Changsheng, after seeing her paintings, could broaden his horizons and pave the way for him to achieve great things in Beijing in the future. At the same time, she also hoped that this cousin would not just stick to the smooth and smooth road of success at a young age, but should be able to detect the things that are impossible in front of others. perceived risk.

But these emotions are too complicated, Ning Wanzhu just draws while thinking, she is not sure how much cousin Yan Changsheng can understand.However, looking carefully at Yan Changsheng's expression, Ning Wanzhu breathed a sigh of relief—Yan Changsheng looked extremely shocked, holding this small picture, his face turned red and then white, white and then red, his eyes Condensed tightly on these small pictures, it seems that there are thousands of thoughts.

Ning Wanzhu felt relieved.The time is still long, and there will be many opportunities to contact this cousin in the future.If this cousin can really go to his father's side in the future, and give advice and help from time to time, then the chance of his father being deceived by Chang Shining will always be smaller.Thinking of this, she let out a sigh of relief.

However, Cao Shijun came over at this time and stood beside Yan Changsheng. He raised his eyes to look at the picture in Yan Changsheng's hand, and felt dazzled when he saw it. A look of envy and jealousy.

Yan Changsheng returned the picture in his hand to Ning Wanzhu, and thanked him: "Second Sister's drawing is really vivid... I really dare not refuse to admire it!"

Cao Shijun also managed to force a smile, and said, "I'm also looking forward to the second lady of the Ning family drawing this whole picture of 'Playing in the Spring'. It seems that every character is drawn very wonderfully!"

Ning Wanzhu smiled at Cao Shijun, and said, "Turn around, Mr. Cao, I will draw you beside my cousin!" Then he took out a charcoal pencil and painted on the picture.

Cao Shijun tried his best to hold back the smile in his eyes, and turned around.Yan Changsheng, on the other hand, looked at this extremely quiet little girl thoughtfully, carefully drawing stroke by stroke.Thin beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of her nose, but this made the skin on Ning Wanzhu's face look almost translucent, with a soft halo like beautiful jade.

Yan Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.

Not long after, Ning Yongqiang rushed up from the bottom of the mountain.When he saw Yan Shi, he first knelt down and spoke respectfully, with joy in his voice: "Congratulations to the Second Madam, a letter has been sent from Nanyang City..."

Yan Shi leaned forward and asked Ning Yongqiang happily: "What good news? But the second master..."

Ning Wanzhu was also taken aback, but counting the days, it's not Chunwei's day right now!
Ning Yongqiang heard that Yan's meeting was wrong, and quickly said: "It's the third master. It's the third master who won a commendation in the northwest and was promoted to a high-ranking official. I heard that he is from the fifth rank!"

The military rank from the fifth rank is not too high, but the military officer from the fifth rank is really an honor for the Ning family who have been civil servants for generations.Among the aristocratic families in Nanyang City, none of the children have achieved such an official position in the army.

Only then did Yan realize that she would be wrong. Although she was a little disappointed, as the mistress of the family, she had to cheer up and asked Ning Yongqiang, saying: "It really is a happy event. The old lady said something. Already, how will our family plan to celebrate in Nanyang City?"

Ning Yongqiang felt a little silly when he heard it. He had never met the old man in Nanyang City a few times in his life, but when the mistress asked, he had no choice but to say: "I don't know what the old man means. I just heard that my aunt My uncle and uncle have won the letter, and we are going back to Nanyang to visit our relatives. So the villain speculates that the old man and the old lady probably want to take this opportunity to make arrangements to celebrate."

Yan Shi nodded, and felt that Ning Yongqiang's deduction was quite reasonable, so she said: "If so, I will trouble Ning Zhuangtou again. Even if I get such good news, I have to bring the big guys back to Nanyang City Go." She raised her eyes to look at the two stepdaughters beside her, raised her eyebrows, and said, "This time I will bring the second young lady back to Nanyang City."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Luozi was taken aback, and opened her mouth slightly.

After hearing this letter, Cao Shijun was quite disappointed and turned around.And Yan Changsheng carefully observed Ning Wanzhu's complexion, seeing that she was neither happy nor disappointed, just faint, and he was even more curious about this cousin in his heart.

"Mother Jin, you go back with Ning Zhuangtou and tell Aunt Shao the news so she can prepare." Yan Shi spoke, and Mother Jin agreed.And Ning Luozi winked at the side with Jin Mama.And Jin Mama looked at her nose and heart, as if she had never seen Ning Luozi's eyes at all, she just followed Ning Zhuang head.

Ning Wanzhu watched coldly, but still calmly handed over the brushes and pictures in her hand to Mo Mei to put them away.She nodded to Yan Changsheng and Cao Shijun, and said: "If I finish this painting later, I will definitely send it to the two brothers for appreciation."

Cao Shijun still looked awkward, as if he was very reluctant to part with Ning Wanzhu.And Yan Changsheng bowed to the end, and said to Ning Wanzhu, "Your second sister is here."

Everyone went back home.On the way, Cao Shijun said goodbye to Yan Changsheng and the Ning family, and looked at Ning Wanzhu who was walking silently by the side of the road with regretful eyes.

Back at the Zhuangzi, the Ning family's Zhuangzi was in a mess. Originally, Yan Shi planned to live in the Zhuangzi for three days, but at noon on the second day, he said that he would leave. They are busy counting and tidying up.

The car driving out for an outing came to the gate of Ningjia Zhuangzi in a mighty way. What was unexpected was that Aunt Shao greeted the gate of Zhuangzi in person.

Yan Shi looked at Aunt Shao's slightly dressed face and the half-worn lilac-colored beanie on her body. She was very puzzled, and turned to look at Mama Jin standing behind Aunt Shao.Mother Jin's face was very ugly, she shook her head secretly at Yan Shi.

Aunt Shao didn't seem to see Yan Shi's expression at all, she only bent her body slightly, holding a box tightly with her hands, waiting beside Yan Shi, and said: "Congratulations, madam, the promotion of the third master is from the Ning family." The concubine is ill and cannot go back to Ning’s house together to congratulate the third master. I just ask my wife to bring this thing back to Ning’s mansion as a congratulatory gift to express my heart.”

Yan Shi didn't take it seriously, and only told Mama Jin: "Mom, just take it."

Mother Jin winked at the back, as if she had countless things to tell Yan Shi, but she couldn't speak out in front of others.

Ning Luozi burst out laughing: "Mom Jin, what's wrong with you? You've been fighting eye and eyebrow lawsuits."

Mother Jin's face turned pale.And Yan Shi took the box from Aunt Shao with great doubts.Aunt Shao stared closely at Yan Shi with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said softly: "Madam, won't you open it and have a look? This concubine carefully prepared it herself."

Yan Shi glared at Aunt Shao, as if blaming Aunt Shao for being presumptuous, but when she opened the box for only one look, she immediately raised her head, and at the same time closed the box with a "snap".

Aunt Shao sounded a little proud: "If madam thinks it's not enough, I still have a lot..."

"Shut up!" Yan Shi suddenly shouted angrily, trembling slightly with anger, attracting everyone's attention.Ning Wanzhu had never seen Yan Shi so anxious and lose his composure in front of everyone.This stepmother has always been dignified and self-restrained in front of people, and she has a good face.What did Aunt Shao show Yan Shi that shocked Yan Shi so much?
When Yan Shi drank like this, Aunt Shao really shut up.She only bowed to Yan Shi, but did not leave, forcibly blocking Yan Shi's way, as if she was asking Yan Shi for an explanation.

"You..." Yan Shi clenched her silver teeth, as if making up her mind.She took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said to Aunt Shao: "That's fine, since you insist, I'll leave it to you!"

She turned around and said to everyone from a distance: "Aunt Shao is recuperating in the Zhuangzi. She is the biological mother of the second young lady, so the second young lady should stay here to serve the sick!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in front of Zhuangzi, and everyone was shocked—seeing Aunt Shao put on a thin layer of makeup and standing in front of everyone, why did she "recover from illness" and "need sickness"?
Mother Jin was the first to react, she took the lead and knelt towards Yan Shi, and said, "Yes!"

The rest of the people saw it and quickly said yes.Some of Ning Wanzhu's things have already been moved out, and now the servants will move them back one by one.

Ning Wanzhu pouted——

She didn't think that Yan Shi really loved her, so she decided to bring her back to Nanyang.Yan Shi's intention is probably to use himself to suppress Ning Luozi's mother and daughter.She was really curious about what was in the box in Aunt Shao's hand, which caused Yan Shi to change course immediately upon seeing it.What is the magic weapon that can restrain the mistress of the Ning family, Yan Shi?
