The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 50
At this time, with the help of Cao Shijun, Ning Wanzhu's pyrography business has slowly started in Cao's shop.

In the first month, Ning Dayong and Du Laohan received a total of ten orders for custom-made paintings, and the amount of each order was not too large, only about two taels of silver.But the advantage of this business is that the cost is low, both Ning Dayong and Old Man Du have the monthly money from Ning's Zhuangzi, and the tools and materials for pyrographing are not expensive.Therefore, the net profit of each business is around one tael of silver.

Ning Dayong and old man Du made their own decisions, and used the first month's income to treat the shopkeeper of Cao's shop to a meal, and bought some things for Cao Shijun to send over. .

Ning Wanzhu looked at the account that Ning Dayong entrusted someone to send in, and saw that the handwriting on it was still a bit clumsy, but she remembered it very clearly and detailedly.She nodded with great satisfaction.

Ning Wanzhu also sent some finished pyrographs to Cao's shop.But in order to avoid suspicion, she only painted the fan bones, and only burned traditional patterns such as flowers and birds on the fan bones, trying to be well-behaved and nothing special.It's late autumn now, and fans are not in season, so they probably won't be sold.However, Ning Wanzhu doesn't have much ambition, anyway, the fan bones won't break if they are left alone, and it won't be too late to sell them at the turn of spring and summer next year.

Unexpectedly, at the other end of Cao's shop, the shopkeeper was instructed by Cao Shijun, and when a customer came to the door, he would say something nice about Ning Wanzhu's branded painting fan.Over time, everyone in Nanyang City knew that there was a famous pyrographer who put his works in Cao's shop for consignment.And the fan bones painted by Ning Wanzhu really have a unique charm. She has painted hundreds of pieces, but none of them are heavy, and the more the brushwork is done, the more mature and sophisticated it is.The whole city of Nanyang is talking about the revival of Nanyang's pyrography skills, but no one knows that these pyrography works are actually made by a teenage girl.

Xiaoyangchun in October lasted for no less than ten days, and then it was cold and rainy again in a blink of an eye.

Mr. Ning's condition gradually deteriorated again.The doctor looked at the inside and outside of the words, and only said to the Ning family, "If you can survive this winter, you will gradually get better."

The whole Ning family became tense again. For a moment, Mrs. Ning couldn't care less about fighting with Yan Shi, she just stayed with Ning Yu every day in front of Mrs. Ning's sick bed.Yan's end was quiet, but he didn't dare to neglect Danxuantang at all. With the help of Yan's family, he bought silver bone charcoal, which is hard to find in Nanyang City, and sent it to Mr. Ning.This kind of charcoal is smokeless, tasteless, and not easy to extinguish, so it is most suitable for elderly people to use it in winter.

Yan Shi exhausted all her thoughts to please Danxuantang, but Danxuantang didn't necessarily accept her favor, and took the silver and bone charcoal, without even handing over a word of "thank you", instead, she handed over a sentence, saying that it was for Yan Then send some to Mrs. Wang.

If Ning Wanzhu's uncle, Ning Jing, had never become a monk and practiced Taoism, then the eldest aunt Wang should be the daughter-in-law of the Ning family.Now because Ning Jing left home and has no children, Wang's temperament is as dry as a tree, and he has nothing to do with the world.However, Mrs. Ning prefers Wang's family more, she thinks Wang's kindness, and when Yan's presiding over Zhongfu, she is too shrewd and calculating, and she loses the style of the noble family of Ning's family.

Yan Shi was regretful and angry, and said: "What is this? I've got a cheap deal and acted like a good boy. What kind of good did I do, put my face on someone and beat me?"

Mother Jin gently advised her not to get angry with Dan Xuantang: "Right now, everyone is staring at that end. As long as the old lady doesn't complain, she is thankful. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with the old man, he will blame him later. Not to mention Ling Cuixuan's disadvantages on our heads, Second Master's face is also not good-looking. You bear with it, no matter what, you have to get through this period of time."

Yan Shi swallowed for a long time, thinking that Ning Yu was a filial person to his parents, so he swallowed this breath reluctantly, and really moved half a basket of silver bone charcoal and sent it to Wang's courtyard.

But the Wang family confiscated it, and ordered someone to send it to the Baiyuan of Ning Jingqing and his younger brother.

On this day, Ning Wanzhu lit the brazier and burned the fan bones in the room.Mo Lan hurried in and said to Ning Wanzhu: "Second Miss, I have some news about what you asked me to inquire about." She came over with her ear and said a few words to Ning Wanzhu.

Ning Wanzhu heard that Mo Lan's recitation was correct, so she asked with confidence: "Have you heard the news from Tong Yuan?"

Mo Lan murmured, "Today I saw Run'er next to the second lady secretly talking to Qiu Yu from Tongyuan for a while! Then Qiu Yu turned around and went to the laundry room, where she met Yan Ling. , the two of them ordered together the clothes of Lanyuan and Tongyuan."

"Run'er next to the Second Madam!" Ning Wanzhu pondered for a while, faintly feeling something unusual.

"Miss, I, Mo Lan, can't misjudge people." Seeing Ning Wanzhu pondering, Mo Lan approached Ning Wanzhu with a slightly sad face, "My cousin is on duty in the laundry room, so naturally she won't say what she said." Fake."

Ning Wanzhu sighed secretly, she naturally knew what Mo Lan meant.So she directly took a piece of silver twisted in half from the small drawer in front of the bed, weighed it about a couple of times, and handed it to Mo Lan casually.

Mo Lan happily accepted it.

Ning Wan and Zhu Weixie, Mo Lan is indeed a material who can do things, but she loves money too much.Right now, she is clearly spending money to buy Mo Lan's abilities and connections, but she can only buy them for a while, and she doesn't know how long this girl who only has money in her eyes will last in the future.

After Mo Lan went out, Mo Mei came in quietly, and asked Ning Wanzhu a little shyly: "Miss, if you want me to pass it on, can I pass it on?" I have never lived in Nanyang Ning Mansion, and I always feel a little trembling when doing things in the inner house.

Ning Wanzhu smiled brightly at her and said, "How can I worry about you doing things?"

Only then did Mo Mei pat her chest, with a relieved expression on her face, as if she was afraid that she had made a mistake in telling something about Ning Wanzhu.

Ning Wanzhu saw it in her eyes and felt warm in her heart.

It didn't take a day or two for the rumors in the Ning's house to spread to Tongyuan.Soon there were some movements in Tongyuan—first, Qiu Yu went to Ling Cuixuan and reported to Yan Shi that Aunt Shao was unwell.

Yan allowed Aunt Shao to "rest" in Tongyuan, and passed on the doctor who often gave Aunt Shao a pulse.

After two or three days, Aunt Shao's illness did not improve at all, but got worse.The doctor went to see Yan Shi and Ning Yu tremblingly, and said: "There is a large population in the house, and the patients are afraid that their illness will pass on to others. Let's find a way to send it to Zhuangzi!"

Qiu Yu, who was beside Aunt Shao, also came to kowtow to Yan Shi and Ning Yu, and relayed Aunt Shao's meaning. She only said that she was afraid of disturbing Mr. Ning's recuperation, and invited him to go to the farm to recuperate, so as not to let the rest of the Ning family get overwhelmed by his illness. people.

Yan Shi pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to the farm now, obviously because I don't want to make people have a good year."

After hearing this, Ning Yu said indifferently: "Just follow the previous example, let the second lady accompany her biological mother to Zhuangzi."

Yan's eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief, and he asked her husband suspiciously: "Second Master, haven't you heard the gossip going on in the house?"

Ning Yu raised his eyes slowly, he had been serving illnesses in Danxuan Hall recently, his eyes were red and bloodshot.But he stared at Yan Shi quietly with such tired eyes, as if he wanted to see Yan Shi's true thoughts.After watching for a long time, Ning Yu asked slowly, "What gossip?"

Yan Shi was speechless.It's hard for her to tell Ning Yu personally that there are rumors in the house that a witness has been taken to the Ning family's farm in Du's village, and this person can prove that the two daughters of the Ning family have interposed with each other.As for who the witness was and what testimonies he gave, several versions have been passed on, all of which have their own nose and eyes, as if everyone has seen it with their own eyes.

When these rumors first came out, Yan seemed to want to see Aunt Shao's jokes, so she only pretended to ask Mama Jin to suppress it.Unexpectedly, until now, it has reached the point where it is out of control.With the look in Ning Yu's eyes, Yan Shi actually knew how much her husband was not allowed to be a concubine of the Ning family.

If she admits it with her own mouth, wouldn't it be tantamount to saying that she is incompetent as the housewife who presides over the middle class, and she allows the servants to chew on the tongue of the master?
Thinking of this, Yan Shi was planning to get away.Unexpectedly, Ning Yu lowered his eyes, and said: "I don't know about the rumors, I only know that the blood relatives of the Ning family are the most important. Since Gan Tang has chosen this way, I have nothing to do." Auntie's boudoir name, Yan Shi was really upset when she heard that Ning Yu called Aunt Shao so affectionately.

Yan's heart was bubbling with sourness, but Ning Yu murmured, "On the other side of Aunt Shao, you can arrange it according to the old rules!"

After hearing this, Yan ordered Wuyuan and Tongyuan to pack their luggage.

Ning Wanzhu predicted that Aunt Shao would find a way to take her to the farm, and the things to take to the farm had already been packed.Hearing the news, although Mo Mei didn't say anything, she jumped up with joy, but Mo Lan's face collapsed, and she wailed, "It's New Year's Eve again!"

Ning Wanzhu then said to Mo Lan: "Why don't I tell my mother to keep you in the mansion and come to Du's Village to find us after the Chinese New Year?"

After all, Mo Lan has a large family and relatives living in Nanyang Mansion.Ning Wanzhu felt that the little girl hadn't been reunited with her family for a year, and she couldn't bear it.

When Mo Lan heard this, she smiled, but she didn't immediately agree, and said, "I'll ask my mother—"

After a while, Mo Lan came back with a changed face, and she went to pack her luggage by herself, and then went back and forth to Ning Wanzhu: "My mother said, we should go to Zhuangzi with the young lady. If we stay in the mansion, Everyone wants to poke my spine and call me disrespectful to Miss."

Ning Wanzhu was stunned for a moment.When he was just reborn, Mo Lan's family had racked their brains to send Mo Lan to the Lan Yuan to serve Ning Luozi.Why now, when the wind is turning, Mo Lan's parents are urging their daughter to work hard on their side?

Could it be that the rumors that were released really played a role?In the Ning family's mansion, are there really many people who are willing to believe that they and Ning Luozi have exchanged concubines?
