bastard returns

Turning his eyes, he didn't refuse, but humbly accepted the item from the princess's hand, and kowtowed to thank him.He understands Princess Zhaoyi's character. This princess has been pampered since she was a child, and she is very fond of face. If she wants to give you something, if you refuse, it will make her feel that you look down on her and cause her dissatisfaction. The sudden transfer of this piece of jade to herself was not really what she said, it was because Gao Yu had praised her talent and learning, but it was just to give Liu's mother and son a bad blow—it was not "You guys forward what I gave to you." to others", but "I don't want to give it to you at all".

For Zhaoyi, when she gave the jade bi to Ning Xiang, it was not because Ning Xiang liked her so much, but because Ning Xiang was Ning Ruhai's son.She has an old relationship with Ning Ruhai and is an elder. It is the first time she meets a junior to give a greeting gift, but Ning Ruhai does not only have one son. There's nothing wrong with changing to someone who's uplifted.

Princess Zhaoyi was very satisfied with Ning Yuan's straightforward appearance. She even patted Ning Yuan on the shoulder before turning around and sitting down. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Liu almost crushed the brocade in her hand. Pa, Ning Xiang panted heavily like a bellows, his face flushed.

With Shen's words and Princess Zhaoyi's actions, it is equivalent to the conclusion of this matter. How can they not be angry? Originally thinking of an excellent opportunity to curry favor with the nobleman, Not only did he not fawn over him, but he provoked others to lose his temper. Even if Princess Zhaoyi didn't say anything, she would never see Ning Xiang again in the future. What's more, the one who took advantage of it in the end was actually the one they had always regarded as Ning Xiang. The thorn in Ning Yuan's eyes!

There is nothing in this world that is more infuriating than the benefits that are originally due to oneself, but in the end it is cheaper for the enemy. Liu's lungs exploded, but he still wants to maintain the last face, because Shen has already sent a warning She and Ning Xiang had already been embarrassed enough today, and Yan Shi and Ning Ruhai had never stood by her side just now, the situation was not good, and she was determined not to make any mistakes.

"Xiang'er, sit down!" Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and dragged Ning Xiang to sit down again, but Ning Xiang was unwilling. Yuan was at a disadvantage, and now seeing Ning Yuan's appearance of being good-looking after taking advantage of it, he wanted to rush up and tear off his face, but Ning Ping'er who was beside him suddenly grabbed his arm.

She thought it was Ning Ping'er trying to persuade him not to be impulsive, but when she turned her head, she saw that Ning Ping'er's face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. Ning Xiang was surprised that her always eloquent sister had been quiet just now Yes, she didn't speak for herself, and now she looked like she was sick, but Ning Ping'er only murmured, "Brother, I feel bad." Then she suddenly turned her head and vomited faintly.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the room, and everyone looked away from Ning Yuan and landed on Ning Ping'er. Liu's face was shocked, "Ping'er, what's wrong with you!"

"What's going on, it's so good, how did it become like this?" Shen was also very strange in her heart, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the food?"

"It's okay, grandma, I just got a little bit of cold." Ning Ping'er had a pale face, but hurriedly raised her hand and waved it, indicating that she was fine. .” As soon as she finished speaking, she bent down again to spit out non-stop.

"Since you are suffering from the cold, please quickly help Miss Ping'er go back to her room to rest, and invite a doctor to come." Yan said to the maid standing beside her.

"No need to ask for a doctor!" Ning Ping'er whispered hastily, then paused, as if feeling that she had overreacted, "It's not a big problem, I'll just go back and rest. Seeing that grandma's birthday is approaching, I invited a doctor here How unlucky."

"Silly boy, you are sick, how could you not call a doctor!" Mrs. Liu asked Ning Ping'er harshly, helping Ning Ping'er to stand up.

"If I say no, I don't need it!" Ning Ping'er suddenly raised her eyes, and looked at Liu Shi with almost hysterical eyes. Looking at himself, he couldn't help saying: "Since you don't want to invite...then you don't have to invite..."

Ning Ping'er didn't say any more, and hurriedly left the room holding Chunlan's hand, but although she left, there was a mass of filth left on the ground, and the sour smell wafted away. Cover your mouth and nose with a Jinpa.

A good feast has turned into such a mess. Seeing that she can't finish it, Shen feels extremely ashamed, and can only accompany Sin all the way to send Princess Zhaoyi out. Fortunately, Ning Yuan, who is seeing off guests with her, seems to be very happy. Finding a princess who likes it, she said a word and made the princess smile all over her face, presumably the other party didn't take the unhappiness that happened during the dinner to heart, which made Shen a little relieved.

Later that day, when Ning Yuan returned to the Zhuxuan Hall, he asked Zhou Shi to leave the back door open. He himself did not take a bath, but sat in the main hall drinking tea. Shi led a man in a black cloak in. The man took off his hood, and it was Ning Mo.

"You seem to have calculated that I will come over." Ning Mo was not polite, and sat down and took a sip of tea.

"I'm just guessing, thinking that if the facts are as I expected, you will definitely come and tell me in person." Ning Yuan tapped the armrest of the chair with two fingers of his right hand, "Ning Ping'er, are you happy? "

"You can guess everything." Ning Mo said with a smile: "Ning Qian'er just sent me the news that Ning Ping'er quietly entrusted her to get abortion pills."

"Abortion? It's a pity. If Wen Suhou knew about this, I don't know how happy he would be. I thought there was no hope of having a grandson in this life, but God just sent him a grandson at this time." Ning Yuan also smiled lightly: "Does the third lady know about this?"

Ning Mo picked up the tea and took a sip, "This kind of disgraceful thing, let alone the third lady, she didn't even dare to tell Ning Xiang, so she only told Ning Qian who she thought was under her control all the time. It's just a son."

"You don't really want Ning Qian'er to get her abortion pills, do you?" Ning Yuan squinted his eyes at Ning Mo,

"Isn't this here to ask for your opinion first? It's you who has been at odds with her all the time. I'm just helping out."

"Didn't the note you put in the shortbread last time say that Ning Ping'er and the fourth prince met secretly?" Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, "I see that our sister seems to be very fond of the fourth prince. Take care."

Ning Mo raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Let Ning Qian'er send her the anti-fetal medicine, she has to take good care of this baby." Ning Yuan chuckled, "Maybe she can rely on this baby to make a fortune."

Ning Pinger was lying on the bed, unconsciously pressing her lower abdomen with her left hand, grasping the quilt tightly for a while, then loosening it for a while.

Ever since she found out that she was not feeling well recently and her menstrual period has not come, she quietly went out to see a doctor. When the doctor told her that she was pregnant, Ning Ping'er suddenly felt like a thunderbolt.

She couldn't be more clear about who this pregnancy is. Fortunately, Ning Xiang has already dealt with Lu Ping for her, so as long as the evil seed in her belly is sent away without anyone noticing, she can treat it as a complete matter. It didn't happen.

Ning Xiang and Mrs. Liu were standing outside her bed tent talking, when they heard Ning Xiang thump the table vigorously a few times, and shouted angrily: "I'm so mad, that damned bastard, he fooled Mr. Gao with his tricks in the school supervisor." , and now I'm trying to be a good boy and take away everything the princess gave me, and he deserves it!"

"This incident is full of weirdness. How did he get that piece of jade, and how did he predict that the Princess will come suddenly? I always feel that this is a trick he deliberately set up, just waiting for us to go drill in." Sitting at the table, Liu frowned, after calming down, Liu recalled the whole incident, and couldn't help becoming suspicious.

"What else can I do, he just got lucky, he just happened to steal the jade, and he just happened to bring it with him today, otherwise, just because of his bad luck, the princess wouldn't even look at him." Ning Xiang He snorted coldly.

"That's the only way to explain it." Mrs. Liu let out a sigh of relief, and then glared at Ning Xiang, "It's also because you are stupid, you didn't keep the good things well, and you didn't find them when they were stolen. I have lost such a big face, let alone the old lady, even the eldest lady has given me a look today, I am afraid it is not good." Liu could not help but support her forehead, the past few months have been a series of bad things With one incident, and almost all of them were related to Ning Yuan, while Liu was struggling to deal with it, she gradually discovered that Ning Yuan seemed to be different from before, and became a bit evil.

"No, mother, we must let it out, and we must not let that bastard succeed like this." Ning Xiang clenched his fists.

Hearing Ning Xiang's words, Ning Ping'er, who was sleeping on the bed, was shocked. Although there was no evidence, she expected that the fact that she was humiliated by Lu Ping had something to do with Ning Yuan. After rushing up, he sat up and lifted the bed curtain, "Mom, I have a way to get rid of that bastard."

Liu Shi and Ning Xiangqi looked back, and saw that although Ning Ping'er's face was still pale, her expression was ruthless, "Not only do we want to get rid of that bastard, but also a noble person, as long as we can With his help, that bastard will definitely be able to die!"

Three days later, on the second day of April, the birthday banquet for Shen's [-]th birthday was held as scheduled.

In order to set up a banquet that can accommodate all the guests at the same time, the servants of the Ning Mansion spent a whole night tidying up the entire front yard of the Ning Mansion and putting up rows of tables and chairs. The main hall of the guest's front door was also re-arranged, and all the useless and space-consuming decorations were removed, and all the tables and chairs were replaced, because before the banquet, this is the place for those distinguished guests to celebrate Shen's birthday.In addition, the Ning Mansion also vacated the entire west wing and organized it into guest rooms. If some guests are drunk, they can rest and leave the next day.

Since the morning, the guests who came to the banquet have continued to arrive. The official stood at the gate with a list, checked the invitations of the guests one by one, and then led them to the welcoming place for tea , guests without official titles can enter the parlor in the East Wing, and only guests with official titles can enter the main hall at the front door.

Because of the remote location of Zhuxuan Hall, even if there is no noise in the front yard, it is still very quiet here.Ning Yuan was late reading and reading last night, so he didn't get up until close to noon. After lunch, Zhou Shi waited on him to take a bath and change his clothes. Then he put on a decent blue satin robe and sat at the table to dry his hair. While looking at the book I put down after reading half of it last night.

Bai Tan came in with a cup of tea, and said: "Master, let's prepare quickly, the government has sent someone to pass the message, everyone must go to the main hall at X, don't miss the time to give the old lady a birthday present."

Unlike the guests who would send birthday gifts to the Ning Mansion in advance, as the birthday gifts given by the younger generation to the elders, they were always given on the birthday day to show respect and filial piety.

"It's okay, it won't be too late anyway." Ning Yuan picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, when he suddenly heard a bang sound from outside, as if something had been knocked over, Bai Tan hurried out to have a look, and saw Bai Mei dancing Picking up the spatula, he chased a disheveled young man out of the small kitchen, "Where did the thief come from? He stole something to Zhuxuantang! Sister, hurry up and help me catch him!"

The young man ran away with his head in his arms, and kept yelling, "Oh, don't hit me, it's me, it's me! I've lived here for a month, and you don't recognize it! "

Hearing the young master's voice, Bai Tan hurriedly stopped Bai Mei, "Stop it, it's Young Master Jing Yi."

"Jing Yi?" Hearing this, Ning Yuan put down the book in his hand and walked out the door. As expected, the guy whose face was black and white and whose clothes were dirty was really Jing Yi.

"Brother Yuan, why did you come out? I'm going to be maimed by the maid beside you!" Jing Yi saw Ning Yuan, and immediately ran over with a sad face, hiding behind him and trembling, and Bai Mei seemed to be waiting until then. Only then did he recognize Jing Yi's identity, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only put the spatula behind his back in embarrassment, and muttered: "Who told Mr. Jing to sneak into other people's kitchens to steal sweet potatoes?" Eat, I thought it was a thief who came in because of the birthday banquet."

"Whoever steals the sweet potatoes will steal the sweet potatoes!" Jing Yi blushed, "I did it by the way, besides, isn't there a big plate of steaming sweet potatoes for people to eat, rather than waiting for you to bring them out, it's better Let me fix it on the spot!"

"Bah!" Bai Mei rolled up her sleeves boldly, "You're fine with stealing sweet potatoes, that's fine, or I'll tell others about the 'Jing Guogong's son sneaked into the kitchen to steal sweet potatoes' this afternoon, anyway you If you are so righteous, you won't be afraid of others' comments, right?"

"You girl..."

"Okay, what's the fuss about this kind of thing." Ning Yuan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, interrupted their conversation, and looked Jing Yi up and down, "Also, didn't you go back to Huajing? What's the matter with being so embarrassed, was robbed by a beggar?"

"By the way, Brother Yuan, you have to save me!" Jing Yi was shocked, as if he just remembered what he was doing here, and said anxiously to Ning Yuan: "There is a tigress chasing me from behind!"

After hearing this, Baimei's face immediately turned green, "What, you actually called me a tigress!?"

"Oh, I'm not talking about you!" Jing Yi hurriedly waved his hands, "Brother Yuan, you have to let me hide, if I'm caught by that tigress and survive, I'll peel off my skin!"

"Tigress?" Ning Yuan showed curious eyes, "If you don't speak clearly, how can I help you?"

Jing Yi scanned the courtyard of Zhuxuan Hall vigilantly, pushed Ning Yuan into the house, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "I said that your old lady really has face, what will Zhaoyi County do? Will the lord come to the birthday banquet? She can come as soon as she comes. Why did she bring her daughter? My father has been trying so hard to get me to marry Princess Zhaoyi's daughter, Princess Wanyi. I've been looking for reasons to delay , I didn't expect to meet that girl Wanyi here, can I not hide!"

051 birthday gift

Ning Yuan was inexplicable, "It's just a woman, could it be that she will eat you?"

"Brother Yuan, you don't understand. It doesn't matter to me whether she eats or not. The important thing is that I'm afraid that Miss Mo'er will see it and misunderstand it." Jing Yi sat down dejectedly. No, brother Yuan, when will you be able to recommend me for me?"

"This..." Ning Yuan didn't know what to say for a while. He couldn't tell Jing Yi honestly that Ning Mo'er was actually a man, and your infatuation was completely wrong. But looking at Jing Yi's appearance, Ning Yuan unexpectedly Also some can't bear it.

"It's not that I don't recommend you." Ning Yuan said, "It's just that based on what I know about this sister Mo'er, he should be...he won't like you, so I advise you to die as soon as possible." good."

"Why?" Jing Yi was taken aback, "Could it be that Miss Mo'er already has a sweetheart?"

"Let's just take it for granted." Ning Yuan didn't know how to explain it, so he could only wave his hands smoothly, "In short, instead of wasting time on my 'sister', you might as well get back as soon as possible, if that Wanyi The princess is really a good girl, it doesn't matter if you marry her."

"Brother Yuan, it's been a few days since I saw you. How did you become so mean? I don't like Princess Wanyi. You read sage books. A twisted melon is not sweet, and a cow doesn't drink water and presses its head forcibly." You should know the truth." Jing Yi squeezed his fists hard, "I still don't believe it. With my appearance, my family affairs, and my infatuation, Miss Mo'er will have a reason not to be tempted. I don't care. It doesn't matter if she has a sweetheart, it's not like there is no such thing as falling in love with others, anyway, I will never marry Miss Mo'er in this lifetime!"

"Okay, okay, it's none of my business who you want to marry or not, but if you don't clean up your disgraced appearance, I don't want to admit in public that I know you." Ning Yuan pointed to the left and right patches on Jing Yi's face. Charcoal Ash, someone called Zhou Shilai, and took him to his bedroom to cleanse and change clothes.

After being disturbed by Jing Yi, Ning Yuan lost the interest to continue reading. As soon as he came back, he set off for the main hall of the front yard. Princess Yi would suddenly pop out.

There are already many people sitting in the front hall at this time, and Mrs. Shen has not arrived yet, Ning Ruhai is here to receive the guests. Princess Zhaoyi doesn't seem to be angry because of what happened to Ning Xiang a few days ago, but she came early today , has already been invited by Ning Ruhai to sit in the upper seat, sitting beside her is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, dressed as elegantly and dignifiedly as her mother, and has a pleasant appearance.

Princess Zhaoyi didn't get married until she was over [-] years old. The marriage was bestowed by the emperor. She married Qin Huan, who was the advisor of the province at the time and is now promoted to the capital of the province. , in charge of the promotion and demotion of officials, coupled with the emperor's love for Princess Zhaoyi, so there have always been many people in the court who want to curry favor with the Qin family and Princess Zhaoyi, even the powerful Jing Guogong is not exempt, All he wanted was for Jing Yi to marry Princess Wanyi, so as to consolidate the status of Duke Jing's mansion in the court.

Ning Yuan greeted Lie Wei's elders one after another. When seeing Ning Yuan, Princess Zhaoyi smiled deliberately, which made other officials present couldn't help but look at Ning Yuan a few more times. Ning Ruhai saw this scene in his eyes , suddenly felt very long-faced, and it was rare to say to Ning Yuan very kindly: "Since you are here, hurry up and do it well, and then present a congratulatory gift to grandma when the time comes."

Jing Yi sat down next to Ning Yuan, a pair of dark eyes kept scanning the hall, just deliberately not looking at Wanyi who was opposite, but you Princess Wanyi seemed to have never paid attention to Jing Yi, and drank tea gracefully , Then talk to your mother and the female relatives of other officials around you.

As more and more guests came, the masters of the Ning Mansion also came out one after another. Liu's dressing style was very different from usual, blindly extravagant and gorgeous, and his golden appearance caused many women to show envious eyes. The three children Sitting behind her one by one, even though Ning Ping'er had deliberately smeared a lot of rouge on her face, she could still tell that her complexion was not good. Ning Yuan felt surprised, because he actually smiled at himself.

That expression was not a sneer, but a sincere smile, but when Ning Yuan saw that smile, he suddenly felt a little sick, coughed lightly, and turned his head calmly.

After Mrs. Liu, it was Ning Mo who helped the second wife Mrs. Zhao to come in.

The second wife Zhao was originally Ning Ruhai's flat wife, but after losing her first son, because of the pain, she became taciturn, staying in the yard all year round and hardly going out, but because of her She was born in a general family, and her natal family is quite powerful, so even though she lives in seclusion, neither Ning Ruhai nor the servants of the Ning Mansion have ever neglected her.

Ning Yuan and Ning Mo have been dating for a while, but this is the first time they see this Aunt Zhao, she is dressed very simply, she looks very thin, with high cheekbones, she is not beautiful, but she always has a kind of The breath that strangers should not enter.Ning Ruhai, who was talking to the guests, saw her, his expression obviously froze, "You are not in good health, why did you come out?"

"Today is the old lady's [-]th birthday. It's a rare good day. No matter how unwell you are, you still have to come out." Mrs. Zhao spoke in a low voice, with a little breath, "Mo'er, help me to sit down."

Ning Mo responded, helped Mrs. Zhao to the head of Mrs. Liu, and sat down behind her.Mrs. Liu looked sideways at Mrs. Zhao with some curiosity, not to mention Ning Yuan, Mrs. Liu has been in the mansion for so many years, and the number of times she has seen this second lady is very few, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

As early as the moment Ning Mo came in, Jing Yi couldn't hold anything else in his eyes, as if the whole hall was dark, only Ning Mo was bright, a picture of a beautiful woman with fluttering white skirt and picturesque eyebrows It was etched in his mind like that.

"By the way, how did you get in here? Could it be that you received an invitation?" Ning Yuan knew that if Jing Yi continued like this, he would definitely show his brother Zhu in full view, so in order to prevent him from making a fool of himself, he diverted his attention by saying something.

Jing Yi finally withdrew his gaze, wiped the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and said, "Of course not, I came here with the greeting card from His Highness, plus my identity, can the butler not let me in?"

"His Royal Highness?" Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, "You mean His Highness is coming?"

"It's more than that, His Royal Highness is also coming." Jing Yi lowered his voice, "It's not all because Princess Zhaoyi is here, don't think she's just a woman, she wants to curry favor with the emperor for his kindness to this cousin She has a lot of people."

Ning Yuan naturally knew about this matter. In the previous life, Sikong Xu did not curry favor with the princess, and later Jing Yi married her daughter, because Jing Guogong stood on the side of the sixth prince, so these powerful forces As a whole, Sikong Xu planned to get rid of Jing Yi.

Just as he was thinking, the official who was supposed to be waiting outside the door suddenly rushed in and shouted: "The two princes have arrived!" Ning Ruhai's face was shocked, and before he had time to go out to greet him, Sikong Yue and Sikong Xu As if they had made an appointment, they stepped through the door one after the other.

Most of the people in the room with official positions had seen the two princes at the spring banquet in the palace, and hurriedly stood up to salute. Sikong Yue waved off everyone's salutations, and then rushed ahead of Sikong Xu, showing great respect to Princess Zhaoyi He bowed politely, "Yue'er has seen my cousin."

Sikong Yue has a strong physique, such a big man of eight feet calls himself "Yue'er", it sounds weird to others, but he seems to not care at all, acting like a junior in front of Princess Zhaoyi.

"My nephew has met my cousin." Following behind Sikong Yue, Sikong Xu also saluted Princess Zhaoyi.

"Get up." Princess Zhaoyi nodded, looking at Sikong Yue, "I met your father before I came to Jiangzhou this time, your father asked me to ask you, what are you going to do here? How long will you play before going back?"

"My aunt is joking, but my nephew is not having fun." Sikong Yue laughed, "My aunt doesn't know something. After arriving in Jiangzhou, my nephew has found that the people's livelihood here is very different from that in Huajing, and it is worth investigating carefully. Maybe it's because the fourth brother is too lenient on weekdays, the servants in the palace are lazy and pretend to be careless, and many things are handled very badly. As the elder brother, the nephew will inevitably help him clean up, so he stayed in Jiangzhou more. some time."

As soon as Sikong Yue finished speaking, Ning Yuan couldn't help but look at Sikong Xu's face. Seeing that his expression was flat, but there was a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, he couldn't help laughing secretly. The current Sikong Xu's mind is really not old enough to be perfect. Cover up emotions.

Si Kongyue's words not only praised himself greatly, but also explained the reasons why he stayed here to have fun, and stepped on Sikong Xu by the way, saying that he was incompetent, and he couldn't even do such a small thing as guarding the palace. If these words were passed back to Beijing, Sikong Xu's image in the eyes of the emperor would definitely be compromised, no wonder he was angry.

So what if he's just angry, Sikong Xu can't argue for himself at this time, seeing that Princess Zhaoyi only talks to Sikong Yue, but ignores him, then he understands.

Princess Zhaoyi nodded, "You are the eldest son of your father, and you should pay attention to people's livelihood, but don't let it take too long. After all, a prince is always not in Beijing, so it's shameless."

Princess Zhaoyi's words hurt Sikong Xu's heart even more. It would be outrageous for other princes to leave the capital for a long time, but what is it that he was directly sent out of Beijing like this?

Besides himself, Sikong Yue also brought a few followers, but one of them was the most unusual, he was short in stature, he didn't look like a guard, but he was obviously a man in gauze, and his face was gauze like Ning Mo's. The scarf covered his face, covering the area below his nose, and while the other followers were standing, he was able to sit beside Sikong Yue in an imposing manner.

"Who is that person next to Your Highness?" Ning Yuan couldn't help but turned his head and asked Jing Yi.

"Nine times out of ten, it's His Royal Highness's new favorite." Jing Yi said, "This His Royal Highness has always had new loves, but I didn't know that he could still fall in love with men. It's really interesting."

"I heard Mr. Jing's meaning seems to be quite contemptuous of men." Ning Yuan asked.

Jing Yi said without thinking, "That's natural. It's really against the law of heaven for two men to be together."

Ning Yuan smiled unnaturally, then glanced at Ning Mo who was sitting across from him, and didn't say much.

A while later, as the protagonist of this birthday banquet, Mrs. Shen finally came with the support of Mrs. Yan. Both of them wore robes that only wives who have been sealed by imperial orders can wear, to show that they attach importance to today's occasion, and Mrs. Yan As the eldest wife, Shi supported Shen Shi's hand with a respectful expression, and the two of them first sat down with the highest-ranking Princess Zhaoyi, Si Kongyue and Sikong Xu, in turn, before sitting down.

Shen's face looked rosy, probably she didn't expect that so many dignitaries would come to her birthday banquet, especially those from the royal family. In terms of pomp and circumstance, it would be much higher than that of Liao Liao who had a birthday banquet at Dudu Cao's mansion not long ago. Old Madam, this is a matter of embarrassment, she can't help but be unhappy.

As soon as the eldest lady sat down, she took a brocade box from the nurse beside her, and when she opened it, there was a Jade Buddha inside.

Yan said: "Madam's [-]th birthday, I think I'm used to seeing all kinds of rare things. This Jade Buddha doesn't look rare, but it was carved by Zhan'er himself. It took a full month to carve. He is too weak to come and see it in person. To celebrate his birthday, my daughter-in-law sent it here on his behalf, and hoped to catch the eyes of the old lady."

Shen took the Jade Buddha and saw that the Jade Buddha was carved vividly, with a smooth and flawless appearance, she kept nodding in admiration, "Zhan'er really put his heart into it, he is in better health."

"What the old lady knows is that she is still the same. She can't get out of bed for nine out of ten days." Yan touched the corner of her eyes, "But a few days ago, my wife heard that there was a doctor in the south of the Yangtze River who was very good at treating heart diseases, so she sent someone to invite him I hope it will be effective, otherwise seeing Zhan'er look like that all day long, it will make me feel really sad as a mother."

Shen sighed: "It's really hard for you. Zhan'er is my grandson, so I naturally care about him. If you have any difficulties, just come and tell me."

"The daughter-in-law thanked the old lady on Zhan'er's behalf." Yan stood up and bent her knees.

"Grandmother, compared with elder brother, granddaughter's congratulatory gift is really not on the table." Ning Mo stepped out from behind Mrs. Zhao, holding a plain belt in her hand, "This belt was sewn by Mo'er herself. Ordinary belts are wider and thicker, and the back waist is specially sewed with interlayers. You can put brown rice in it after frying and wrap it around your waist. It is very useful for relieving waist problems. Grandma often has low back pain. I think this belt can also be used superior."

The Jade Buddha is exquisite and can only be used for viewing, but Ning Mo's congratulatory gift is very ingenious, and he seems to have prepared it, and immediately a maid brought a bowl of fried brown rice, put it in the interlayer behind the belt, Ning Mo personally stepped forward and put this apron around Shen's waist. She felt a little bit of heat coming from her waist, and her low back pain, which was faintly present, also faded a lot. Shen's eyes lit up immediately, " Mo'er has a heart, and unexpectedly came up with this method."

"Grandma feels comfortable." Ning Mo gave a salute and then retreated.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang understood, and the third came out. The attendant behind him also held a brocade box in his hand. The brocade box was very big, one foot square, but very thin, no more than three inches Xu Hou didn't know what was inside.

"Grandmother, grandson and sister jointly presented this gift, but grandson spent a lot of time finding it. I think grandma will definitely like it." After finishing speaking, he opened the brocade box with his own hands and took out a gold box from inside. Here comes the shiny top.

"This is... the gold thread clothes?" Princess Zhaoyi looked at the clothes with sharp eyes, and said a little uncertainly.

"The princess is really well-informed, and she recognized it right away." Ning Xiang bowed to Princess Zhaoyi.

"What is the Golden Thread Clothes? Can the princess explain to the old man, is there some mystery hidden in it?" Shen Shi had never heard of the name of the Golden Thread Clothes, so she couldn't help asking Princess Zhaoyi.

A group of spectators around also started whispering to each other as if they had seen something new.

Ning Xiang's face was full of pride, because what he wanted was exactly this kind of effect, and the Liu family was not short of money, so he had specially told him that the old lady had no shortage of valuable things for her [-]th birthday, so since she wanted to give it away, she must get it. Only the most expensive one can achieve the goal of being a blockbuster and attracting people's attention, and it can also give yourself a long face.

"The gold thread garment was originally made by King Xiangyang of the former dynasty. It was used as a gift for the [-]th birthday of his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Yue. It took more than half a year to complete the production by a hundred craftsmen who were proficient in jewelry making. Not only the material It is woven with gold thread, and the pearls, gemstones, and jadeite inlaid on it are also full of treasures, especially the jadeite is fragile. If you try to string it together with gold thread, it will be broken if you are not careful. Therefore, it is rumored that the king of Xiangyang is making I don’t know how many high-quality emeralds were damaged in this gold-thread garment, which makes this treasure even more valuable." Ning Yuan said slowly.

Ning Xiang turned his head and looked at Ning Yuan, "It's rare for the third brother to have such an opinion. Instead, I will tell the whole story of this treasure on behalf of the second brother."

Ning Yuan showed curiosity, "Unfortunately, the original gold-thread robe disappeared in the flames of war with the destruction of the previous dynasty. Now, where did the second brother get it?"
