The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 47 The Untimely Confession

When the day came, Ning Wanzhu went to see Yan Shi, and only said that in order to return Miss Cao's face, she would visit Cao's house for fun.The Cao family was already acquainted with the Ning family, so the Yan family naturally had no objections.With the intention of flattering Ning Wanzhu, she lent her cart to Ning Wanzhu, and ordered a woman and two girls, Momei and Molan, to follow along.

Ning Wanzhu had her own idea. When she arrived at Cao's house, she touched two five-cent silver coins and handed them to the woman, asking her to drink tea by herself.Naturally, the mother-in-law would not make things difficult for Yin Zi, and went happily, leaving Ning Wanzhu to see Cao Yuee on her own.

Earlier, Ning Wanzhu wrote in a letter to discuss matters with the two brothers and sisters of the Cao family.So Cao Yue'e ordered her personal maid, Wen Shan, to wait at the gate of Cao's mansion early on, and welcome Ning Wanzhu's master and servant inside.

Ning Wanzhu went through several noisy courtyards before arriving at Cao Yuee's small courtyard.

The courtyard was divided into several rooms. Cao Yue'e's room was not only a bedroom, but also a study, and also an embroidery room; the separated small rooms were occupied by maidservants and mother-in-law.It wasn't that there were noisy voices coming from the next door, it was really noisy and noisy.

Ning Wanzhu was a little dazed looking at the cramped and crowded small courtyard.She knew that the Cao family was big and had a large population, but she never thought that Cao's family members could only live in such a small courtyard.

Cao Yue'e didn't feel embarrassed at all, instead she took Ning Wanzhu's arm and complained with her mouth curled up: "Second Sister Ning, look, living here is not as clean as living in a village in the country."

Before Ning Wanzhu could reply, he heard the sound of boots outside the yard, and Cao Shijun walked in.

Cao Shijun was wearing a royal blue pine-and-bamboo-patterned deep garment, and his whole body was neatly tidied up, and it was also glamorous. It was no longer the same as the dejected and haggard description when he just suffered from eye diseases.It's just that he kept his hands behind his back, and his brows seemed to be slightly frowned habitually.Ning Wanzhu guessed at a glance that Cao Shijun was temporarily relieved of the pressure of the imperial examination, and he was concentrating on taking care of the general affairs of the Cao family. With his intelligence, he would naturally be able to get started soon.Today's Cao Shijun is probably no longer the young man who only knows how to study.

The Cao Shijun in front of him seems to have become more mature and sophisticated, and he is already familiar with the way of survival in the big family.

Ning Wanzhu greeted Cao Shijun with a smile. When Cao Shijun saw Ning Wanzhu, his eyes lit up, and he also greeted with a smile: "Second Sister Ning is rarely free to come over today."

Cao Yue'e had already gone to pull her elder brother, "Second Sister Ning said earlier that she would talk to our brothers and sisters today." She hurriedly called the two to sit down in the main room in the courtyard.Ning Wanzhu said in the future that Cao Shijun and Cao Yue'e brothers and sisters looked at each other in surprise, Cao Yue'e said, "Second Sister Ning wants to use our family's business to open a pyrography shop?"

Ning Wanzhu was a little embarrassed, smiled with a blushing face, and said: "Yes, there is a righteous servant in my Zhuangzi. His pyrography skills are outstanding. It would be a pity if he was buried. I feel that I have invested too much in opening a shop, and how the business will be in the future is still a matter of opinion. So now I have to have the audacity to ask Brother Cao."

In fact, the Cao brothers and sisters have seen Ning Wanzhu's craftsmanship a few years ago, and they all know the "righteous servant" and so on. I'm afraid it's an excuse, and Ning Wanzhu himself is going to make a move.

Cao Yue'e didn't understand general affairs, so she just raised her eyes and looked at her brother.

Cao Shijun smiled and said to Ning Wanzhu: "Second Sister Ning, it just so happens that I am in charge of a Wenwan shop. If Second Sister has ready-made items here, you might as well put them on consignment. I will also talk to the shopkeeper. Say hello, if anyone is interested and wants to order, I will collect a deposit and send a message to your Zhuangzi. Do you think this is good?"

Ning Wanzhu lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, raised his head, looked at Cao Shijun cheerfully, and said, "Brother Cao has a very good idea and has helped me a lot. It's just that I'm not greedy enough, and I still want to invite Brother Cao to work in his shop." The shopkeeper of the shop helped me bring a guy out. After a long time in the future, I will also have a manager who can run errands and do business."

As soon as Cao Shijun raised his eyes, his probing eyes fell on Ning Wanzhu's face.

Ning Wanzhu already had a candidate in mind, and she smiled slightly: "The manpower on my side will be arranged in a few days. Please also send me a message after Brother Cao has made the arrangements."

After two discussions, Cao Yue'e smiled and said, "Second Sister Ning, you and my elder brother will join forces to do business. What's the benefit of me being a middleman?"

Ning Wanzhu's mind was settled, her heart was happy, her face was radiant, and her small face that was originally porcelain white was slightly pink at this moment, like a blooming flower, becoming more and more charming.She chatted with Cao Yue'e, but Cao Shijun beside her was stunned. He stood quietly beside the two girls for a long time, and suddenly said, "Second sister, you...you don't have to work so hard."

Both Ning Wanzhu and Cao Yue'e heard this sentence in their ears.

Ning Wanzhu was extremely astonished, not knowing what Cao Shijun's sudden nonsensical words meant.

Cao Yue'e was innocent and open-mouthed. When she heard her brother say this, she followed suit and said, "Second Sister Ning, listen, my brother has already spoken. You, if you stay with us, it would be great to live in Cao's house." gone."

Cao Yue'e didn't say this, but as soon as she said it, a red cloud suddenly descended on Cao Shijun's face, and gradually it seemed that even the roots of his ears turned red.

Ning Wan and Zhu Ershi are human beings, how can she not understand the thoughts of a young man like Cao Shijun, she frowned slightly, and only held Cao Yue'e's hand and said: "I am a little concubine of the Ning family, and I can be with Cao Shijun." Eldest brother and younger sister Yue'e are already lucky in three lives, how dare you expect extravagant..."

To Cao Yue'e's ears, Ning Wanzhu's words were just casual politeness following what she said just now.

However, Cao Shijun heard something deep - Ning Wanzhu confessed her identity, she was just a powerless concubine of the Ning family, and the two brothers and sisters of the Cao family were the eldest sons of the Cao family.Cao Shijun's future wife will be the wife of the Cao family, so it is absolutely impossible for him to marry the concubine daughter of the Ning family who is also a big family in Nanyang.If there is any further involvement between Ning and Cao, the two elders will not agree, and secondly, they will damage their reputations.

Cao Shijun's face became even redder, and he muttered for a while: "Second Sister Ning, I...I didn't mean that, please don't take offense." He was full of anxiety and worry, afraid that Ning Wanzhu might misunderstand what he meant, She thought that her siblings despised her origin.Ever since Cao Shijun got to know Ning Wanzhu, Ning Wanzhu has always been generous, and never showed any contempt for himself because of his status.So when she said this today, Cao Shijun felt that she was being rude to a beautiful woman for a moment, and regretted and pityed him at the same time. He rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say.

Of course Ning Wanzhu knew that he was not malicious, but she didn't want Cao Shijun to have extravagant hopes.She bowed her knees to Cao Shijun very calmly and coldly, and went aside with Cao Yue'e to talk about herself.

Cao Shijun stayed in his sister's small courtyard, neither sitting nor standing, and stayed awkwardly for a while, remembering Ning Wanzhu's request, he quickly moved his feet, and went out to find the shopkeeper of Wenwan shop to arrange it.Walking on the road, I only felt flushed, my palms were full of sweat, and my heart was pounding. Thinking of the difference in identities between the two that Ning Wanzhu just mentioned, I felt regretful and unwilling.

After Ning Wanzhu and Cao Yue'e finished talking, she left and went home.Sitting in the cart, Ning Wanzhu suddenly felt something in her heart, facing Mo Mei and Mo Lan, she sighed: "If we could live in the farm all the time, how great would it be?"

Just now, Cao Shijun's words revealed his thoughts, which made Ning Wanzhu start to think carefully about the life she wanted.In this life, the trajectory of fate has deviated from the previous life, and she has also swapped identities with Ning Luozi, but the overall trend is roughly similar to the previous life.Then, if a few years later, when the daughters of the Ning family are discussing marriage, will she follow the original fate and marry Chang Shining, or even marry Ning Luozi's original husband's family?
Thinking of this, Ning Wanzhu felt a headache.She couldn't help rubbing her temples, she just felt that being able to live a peaceful life on her own farm for a lifetime was what she really yearned for in her heart.

"Scared, miss, what are you talking about?" Mo Lan heard Ning Wanzhu's words and said without hesitation: "Nanyang Mansion is so good, the food and supplies are much better than our life in Zhuangzi. Cut. Besides, Nanyang City is so lively! The countryside is deserted, and there are only a few families who come and go. In winter, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and you can't go anywhere."

Ning Wanzhu was silent when she heard this, while Mo Mei looked at her, didn't say anything, just called "Miss" in a low voice, but her beautiful eyes revealed yearning for the past years of living in the mountains.

However, after a while of silence in the carriage, Ning Wanzhu slightly turned her head away, stretched out her hand and gently raised a corner of the curtain of the cart.The big car was driving in the busy city of Nanyang, and the noise outside the car was continuously transmitted into the car.

Ning Wanzhu let out a long sigh.In this life, although she has assumed the status of a concubine, she is still the eldest daughter of the Ning family in her heart, and she knows the responsibilities she carries on her body.Especially after the previous life, because of her, Chang Shining deliberately destroyed the Ning family, and she always felt that she had an inescapable responsibility.

So the years of living in the mountains and the life in the countryside, although beautiful, she couldn't really entrust her future there - it was her responsibility and her destiny to return to Ning Mansion eventually.

Thinking of this, Ning Wanzhu lowered the curtain of the cart, sat upright a little, with firm eyes, as if looking into the distance.

Of course, their master and servant's conversation today was heard by the mother-in-law who was sent out by Yan Shi to accompany them, and it reached Yan Shi's ears.Yan Shi smiled when she heard the words, and said: "This second young lady is really sincere. Let her live in Zhuangzi, and I am addicted to living in it." Therefore, I feel that Ning Wanzhu is easier to manipulate than Ning Luozi.
