bastard returns

Concentrating on pulling the rein, the other facial features are much more handsome, but compared with the honest young man, he is quite absent-minded when sitting outside, especially after hearing the thin laughter coming from the curtain behind the car, he almost For the first time, he wanted to lift the curtain to see what happened, but at the last moment, as if he was afraid that he would anger the people in the car, he resentfully let go.

The honest young man noticed his movements, and he smiled and said, "Brother Huyan, don't blame the young master, you can only blame you for being too tall. Now there are five people crowded in the car, so I can only let you sit outside with me. gone."

"Of course I don't blame Brother Ning, I'm just curious about what they are playing in there, laughing so happily." The corners of Huyan Yuanchen's mouth froze, he took the reins from Zhou Shi's hand, and put all his strength on them as if venting his anger. There was a twitch on the horse's buttocks, the horse neighed, and ran even faster.

In the carriage, Ning Yuan was playing stone throwing with Nuxuan. This is a very popular folk game, but Nuxuan obviously has never seen it before. He saw Ning Yuan flexibly throwing four small stones that were polished to about the same size. He caught it again, changing the palms of his hands and the back of his hand, and he rushed to play, but his movements were very clumsy when he was a novice, and there were constant jokes, which not only made Ning Yuan and the Bai sisters out of breath from laughing, but even The middle-aged beautiful woman on the side half-covered her mouth, looked at her son, and shook her head helplessly.

"Brother Yuan, why are you able to throw so well? I just can't. I really want to die!" After trying one last time, Nuxuan beat his head a few times in frustration. He was dressed in dilapidated clothes, but he changed into a simple but neat linen clothes, and his hair was neatly combed. He looked like a handsome young man.Since he recovered from a high fever, he knew that Ning Yuan had saved their mother and son, and he was so grateful that he must serve Ning Yuan by his side to repay his gratitude.

Their mother and son were originally stripped of their identities and demoted to low-level servants because of their crimes. Ning Yuan told the officers and soldiers guarding them and stuffed some money, so he easily got the two of them by his side. .

At first, Nuxuan was quite reserved, and he called Ning Yuan the young master with a low eyebrow, but after a few days together, he probably saw that Ning Yuan had a friendly temper, and he never showed his face to his servants. Ning Yuan knows a lot of things, and after coming and going, he admired Ning Yuan so much that he not only called him "Brother Yuan", but also squeezed onto Ning Yuan's bed every night like a child, listening to him speak some folk dialects. of anecdotes.

Ning Yuan knew that Nuxuan grew up in the palace and learned etiquette scriptures. He had never heard of folk tales, so he followed him, but what Nuxuan did made Huyan Yuanchen angry. Because Nuxuan took his place on the bed, he could only sleep on the floor. What's more, Ning Yuan actually spoke for Nuxuan, saying that he was young, and Huyan Yuanchen was so big that he had to be humble. Little brother, Huyan Yuanchen couldn't say it, and couldn't hold back his face. Every night while sleeping on the hard floor, he also regarded Nuxuan as a thorn in his side.

He spent so much time helping Ning Yuan find out the gang of river thieves, and also helped him find out the reason why the crops did not grow in the field. There is hard work without credit, but in the end he got such a treatment. Difficult to appease.

After staying in Xianghe Town for such a long time this time, Ning Yuan can be regarded as retired, and took the opportunity to earn a ticket.The people sent by the Da Furen to connect with the gang of river pirates were dealt with secretly by him, and the silver bills of several thousand taels of silver were seized. He found a place in Xianghe Town and hid it. After all, it was a pile of valuables, and there would always be a place to use it in the future.

Of course, the biggest benefit is not here. After the river robbers were wiped out, the root cause of the land infringement was also uprooted. However, for insurance, Ning Yuan still took some money out, diverted the irrigation canals, and used windmills to drain water from the wells. They brought water up to irrigate, and when they left, all the fields in the farm had grown summer crops of wheat seedlings. Li Shuan had already spread the news, even to the city of Jiangzhou. Now everyone knows The third young master of the Ning Mansion saved the fields in Xianghe Town, and praised him so much, who still remembers the incident in Ningxiang.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Yuan returned home with both fame and fortune. Yan thought that with a fabricated suicide note, Ning Yuan's reputation could be ruined. If she knew the reason, she would be so angry that she vomited blood.

The only pity is that although the gang of river pirates shook the eldest lady out as Ning Yuan expected, the effect was minimal. Judging from Ning Mo's letter, the eldest lady was indeed reprimanded by Ning Ruhai, but But she was not punished, and Ning Yuan was not surprised. Yan's scheming has always been deep. She has done so many things to her heart, but neither the second wife nor Ning Mo can catch her mistakes. knocked down.

In Ning Mansion, the situation is completely different now compared to before Ning Yuan left. There are two places that have changed the most, one is Xianglian Courtyard and the other is Ruining Courtyard.

In Xianglian Courtyard, because of Aunt Tang's sudden favor, many servants couldn't help but look sideways at this little-known courtyard, while in Ruining Courtyard, it was because Ning Zhan, the son-in-law who had been resting in bed, was mostly in good health and had already recovered. You can get out of bed and walk around, and you are no different from ordinary people except that you need to take medicine regularly.

Ning Yuan made arrangements for Nuxuan and her mother, first went to greet Shen Shi and Ning Ruhai, and then rushed to Xianglian Courtyard without stopping to visit Tang Shi and Ning Xin'er.

Compared with a month ago, the Xianglian courtyard has changed a lot. The courtyard is still the same courtyard, but many things have been replaced with new ones, especially the Tang family. A lot of them, with flower tints painted on the center of the eyebrows, and the fine white pearl powder spread on the face, fully suppressing her age by more than half, making it impossible to tell that she is a woman over [-] years old.

Rao Ning Mo had written it clearly in the letter, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Ning Yuan still stood in front of Tang for a long time without recovering.

"Why, go out for a while, and you don't even know your mother?" Tang's bright red dress made the whole yard dazzling. Seeing that Ning Yuan was still not moving, he simply walked over and held Ning Yuan's hand, Pulling him to the side of the stone bench and sitting down, before he could speak, he sighed first.

When Ning Xin'er heard the movement, she also came out of the room. When she saw Ning Yuan, she immediately smiled, but she didn't rush directly as usual, but stood aside implicitly.

"This girl was frightened when she was brought to Ruining Courtyard. Although she didn't see any abnormalities after she came back, she has always been like this. I once wanted to ask your father to invite a doctor to come in, but you know your father's attitude. "Tang paused, "He still doubts Xin'er until now, so I don't have much to say."

"Since he doubts Xin'er, why bother?" Ning Yuan was a little annoyed, but quickly shook his head annoyed, "It's also because I didn't think carefully and only thought about my own affairs, so I left so easily, but I didn't expect Until the eldest lady will be so impatient to do something to Xin'er."

"You don't need to blame yourself. The one who blames yourself should be me. You two children have grown up so big, but I, a mother, have never fought for you." Tang said lovingly in Ning Yuan's soft hair She stroked her upper body a few times, "Mother has always held the mentality of avoiding the world, and she is also disheartened towards your father. She clearly sees that you are not doing well in this mansion, but it is also an attitude of letting go. After thinking about it, I would still like to thank Da Furen, if she hadn't been aggressive, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to figure it out and come to fight her."

"That's right." Tang shi suddenly paused when she said this, "After you came back, did Da Furen look for you?"

Ning Yuan shook his head, "No, what's the matter."

"When your father came to my place for dinner last night, I heard him mention it." Tang paused, "The eldest lady said that your elder brother has been bedridden for a long time and has not been in school for a long time. Now he is recovering, so the eldest lady I want you to find time to go to Ruining Academy and be your elder brother's wife."

085 The so-called trick

"You want me to be your elder brother's wife?" Ning Yuan wondered, "Why is that? Even if elder brother can't go to the supervisor, can't he invite a gentleman back?"

"The eldest lady said, Ning Zhan is weak, and the people invited from outside are outsiders after all. She is not at ease, but you are different. Not only is her own brother, but also her knowledge has been highly regarded by Mr. Gao Yu. What she is most at ease is You." Speaking of this, Tang paused again, "But these are all high-sounding words, who knows what she's thinking, anyway, she must have no good intentions."

"Since mother knows that she has no good intentions, I will naturally make some preparations, and I can't let them figure it out." Ning Yuan smiled, showing that he didn't care very much. Seeing his calm expression, Tang couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Sure enough, it was as good as Tang's said. On the second day after Ning Yuan came back, the eldest lady mentioned in front of Shen that she was going to ask Ning Yuan to be Ning Zhan's wife.

Everyone in the room was paying their respects to Mrs. Shen. When Mrs. Yan mentioned this matter, she deliberately praised Ning Yuan to the extent that there is no heaven and earth. There is no reason for Mrs. Chen not to agree to such a good thing of respect between brothers and sisters. And in front of Shen's face, Ning Yuan couldn't refuse to come to the aunt's face, so he could only agree with sincerity and trepidation, and made an agreement that if he was free these few days, he would go there after leaving the school supervisor. Rui Ningyuan visits the elder brother.

Coming out of Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Yan pulled Ning Yuan and talked for a long time, nothing more than trouble him and ask him to work harder, with a friendly expression, like a really serious mother, but when Ning Yuan turned around After leaving, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yan's mouth, and she was escorted back to Ruining Hospital by the swollen-cheeked mother Xu.

In Ruining Courtyard, Yan Shigao was sitting and checking the income account books of this month's mansion, while Xu's mother was holding a fan to cool it, Xu's mother had an expression of hesitation, after a while, she finally couldn't hold it back and said: " Ma'am, this servant really doesn't understand, the third young master obviously has no good intentions for us, and the Xianghe Town matter is obviously related to him, why do you want to lure a wolf into the house and let him come into our Ruining courtyard."

"Mother Xu, your question is really ridiculous." Yan flipped through the account book and said, "Let me ask you, since you know that there is a little white-eyed wolf in this family, do you let him run wild outside?" Or should I keep him under my eyelids and stare at him every day?"

"But if that kid plans to harm us..."

"He doesn't have the guts. Even if he has the guts, what kind of place is our Ruining Courtyard? How can we allow him to make trouble." Yan closed the account book and put it aside, "Although there is no evidence for the incident in Xianghe Town, But I know that this kid must have done it, otherwise why didn't he go anywhere, but went to Xianghe Town, and when he went there, something like this happened? It cost a lot of money, not to mention, it's still there Hiding his face in front of the master, he almost fell out of favor, if this debt is not recovered, it will be too cheap for him."

"Ma'am, what are you going to do?"

"There is no need to rush this kind of thing, but as long as you keep an eye on him all the time, you can always find a flaw." Yan Shi picked up a side of tea again, "Now he is the most promising young master in our mansion, the celebrity in front of the old lady Well, there is the big tree covered by the old lady. If we want to play him casually, we have to weigh our own weight first. ?”

Xu's mother opened her mouth wide, obviously understanding Yan's meaning.

That afternoon, Ning Yuan brought his books to Ruining Academy.

The place where Ning Zhan lives is the East Wing specially opened in the Ruining Courtyard, and it is also the room that is warmest in winter and cool in summer in the entire Ruining Courtyard. It can be seen that the Yan family attaches great importance to Ning Zhan, the son-in-law. Ning Yuan just walked into the courtyard , I was refreshed by the medicine box full of yards.

Because Yan's Xianghe Town's source of income has been cut off, and Ning Zhan's health has improved, many of the medicinal materials in the yard have been removed, but there are still a lot left, and the maid who leads the way is obviously Yan's confidant Seeing Ning Yuan's envious eyes, she couldn't help raising her nostrils proudly, and waved to Ning Yuan without any humility, "The eldest young master is waiting for the third young master in the study here."

Ning Yuan opened the curtain indifferently. This is his first time in Ruining Courtyard. The study room here is bigger than his bedroom. Except for the tables and chairs near the window, there are many bookshelves lined up in all directions. Looking at the books on the bookshelf layer by layer, all the historical classics that can be bought on the market should be found here, obviously carefully prepared by Mrs. Yan, but most of the books have no trace of flipping through them. The eldest brother is not interested in the aspect.

Going around several bookshelves, Ning Yuan finally saw Ning Zhan sitting there. He was wearing a satin shirt that looked very expensive, but his expression was very weak. Although his face was handsome, he was also pale and thin.Ning Yuan stood still respectfully, then clasped his fists in salute, "I've met elder brother."

Hearing the voice, Ning Zhan finally raised his eyes. There were two thick black circles under his eyes, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. Even if Ning Yuan greeted him, he only looked at him listlessly, and then lowered his head again. , Continue reading the book in front of you.

Seeing that he ignored him, Ning Yuan was not annoyed, so he just stood there. After a full hour, he waved to Ning Yuan directly, "Okay, that's it for today, you can go back."

Ning Yuan's heart moved, he bowed again expressionlessly, and exited the study.

Ning Zhan squinted at him leaving, and sneered.

At this time, Madam Xu sent a soup of lotus leaves and lotus seeds, and said with a smile: "Young master has worked hard in studying, and this lotus seeds are the best for purifying the heart and fire. The lady specially ordered the slaves to bring them."

Ning Zhan glanced at her, "Do you want to say that my behavior just now is in line with mother's wishes?"

"The young master is the eldest lady's biological son, so naturally the mother and the child are of the same mind. The young master is so transparent, and the eldest lady will be happy when she finds out." Mama Xu didn't say much, and left happily after setting down the lotus seed soup. Peeping under the window sill to see what was going on in the room, seeing Ning Yuan being left there by Ning Zhan for an hour, his legs must have been weak from standing, there was no reason to be unhappy, so he immediately went to report to Yan Shi.

But Ning Zhan looked at the steaming soup in front of him and didn't move. Instead, he sneered and continued to read the book in his hand carefully.

On the second day, after Ning Yuan got off the school supervisor, he still came to Ruining College as usual. However, Ning Zhan was exactly the same. It was time to send people away. On the third day, the fourth day, and even five or six days in a row, it was like this every day. If it was someone else who was tossed like this, he would have been impatient for a long time, but Ning Yuan didn't seem to respond at all. , for ordinary people, it would definitely cause backaches and backaches, but Ning Yuan has kung fu, so he doesn't feel tired.

It's just that she can respond to all kinds of changes without changing, but some people can't sit still. This day, Ning Yuan just came back from Ruining Courtyard, and was blocked by Ning Mo in the back garden. Ning Yuan didn't say much, and tacitly Walking with him to the gazebo where the two often meet, Ning Mo opened her mouth and asked, "I really don't understand, Da Furen is obviously trying to make you go to Ruining Court to suffer every day, and you are just willing to suffer like this." ?”

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "What can I do if I don't accept it? Could it be that you want me to go to my grandmother to file a complaint? But if I do file a complaint, what do you think my grandmother will think?"

"Of course I will say that you are making trouble for nothing, and you will also say that you are the elder brother who dislikes the weak and is looking for excuses to be lazy." Ning Mo was also unambiguous, "There is no one else in the study except you, and you can't even find a personal ID card. As a concubine again, even if your health is not good, your words are more important than you, a concubine."

"That's more than that." Ning Yuan continued: "If I just stand in the study every day, I can bear it, but if it goes on for a long time, let others find that our elder brother's knowledge has not improved, and the same is true. My incompetence, no matter how vertical or vertical, I can't get out of this trap."

"Since you know everything, you don't want to find a way to deal with it?" Ning Mo's eyes widened.

"There is only one way to deal with it now, which is to respond to all changes with the same. I can't take the initiative to resign, or the grandma will take advantage of it and let my grandmother chew my tongue. I don't know what my grandmother will think, saying that I rely on It is not impossible for her favor to ride on the head of my son-in-law, I can't afford to wear this hat, so I can only wait, maybe one day, our elder brother will change his mind?"

Ning Yuan smiled at Ning Mo. Seeing that he looked confident, Ning Mo couldn't help shaking his head, then moved closer and said, "There is one more thing. I'll tell you after thinking about it. You are not in the mansion. Days, Da Furen is a little strange."

Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Some people whispered that when the eldest lady is fine, she would hide in the room to meditate and practice exercises, and people often smell a strange fragrance on the eldest lady. Although I don't believe it, I still take this opportunity to greet my grandmother once in a while. When I went to Da Furen's side and smelled it carefully, there was indeed a fragrance, but it was very faint, not like any spices, as if..."

"It seems to be emitted naturally by the human body, isn't it?" Ning Yuan took over the conversation, seeing Ning Mo nodding, he put his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, then said: "Recently, father seems to have suddenly started to favor Mrs. I'm going to sleep in her yard every now and then?"

"It's not just the courtyard." Ning Mo laughed for a while, "The servants in the mansion have spread the word that whenever the father and the eldest lady are together, sometimes they live in peace, and sometimes if something happens, it will be a battlefield everywhere, but After all, it’s the family and the mistress, sometimes in my own home, although the servants talk nonsense, no one dares to talk about it, even the grandmother turns a blind eye, it’s just some harmless little flirting between their husband and wife.”

086 Treasure of Fengyue

Ning Yuan said quietly: "In the previous dynasty, there was a concubine Mei, who was not outstanding in appearance and inappropriate in figure, but she was favored by the emperor alone, which made Liugong look sideways. The emperor died young, the crown prince came to the throne, and the first thing the queen mother did was to cut off Concubine Mei's hands and feet, and ran into the old jar to make a human pig."

Ning Mo was puzzled, "It's fine, what are you talking about?"

"Of course I have my reasons. Do you know how the emperor died? It is rumored that when he died, Concubine Mei was receiving grace, and after the imperial physician examined the emperor's body, he asserted that the emperor died of heart failure due to the loss of Yuanyang. The reason why the empress dowager sent Concubine Mei was that Concubine Mei practiced the evil art of harvesting yang and nourishing yin, bewitching the Sacred Heart, until the emperor died."

Ning Mo opened his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

"There is a kind of kung fu called "Jade Heart Sutra" in Jianghu. It is rumored that it was created by a famous prostitute. Not only can it exude a strange fragrance that can attract men's emotions, but it also has the miraculous effect of picking up yang and nourishing yin. Whenever a man loses his essence, he can inhale the man's vital yang into his body to maintain his appearance. It has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating." Having said this, Ning Yuan paused, "I see that our mother seems to be looking quite good recently, and she looks much younger, but my father's spirit is not very good."

Ning Mo already understood what Ning Yuan was talking about at this time, he lowered his eyes slightly, "Could it be that the lady is actually practicing this kind of exercise? She is so bold that she doesn't care about father's comfort?"

"Perhaps the person who handed this exercise to her didn't tell her the harm it would do to men?" Ning Yuan smiled slightly, "Of course, the harm to men is second to none. The kung fu can rejuvenate, even if it relies on harvesting yang to replenish yin, I’m afraid it will be popular among the ladies from all walks of life secretly, why is such a miraculous kung fu so little known, do you know the reason?”

"Don't be a fool, I'm really anxious to hear that." Ning Mo gave Ning Yuan a white look, "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, is this what you want to talk about?"

"As far as I know, the original name of the "Jade Heart Sutra" should be "The Heart Sutra of Desire for Women". It is not the "jade" of jade, but the "desire" of desire. Any woman who practices this skill will have a As it deepens day by day, the desire for men will also change with each passing day, and finally become a prostitute who needs to have sex with men all the time, until if one day does not absorb enough Yuanyang, one will be burned by the poison in the body, died of heart failure."

Ning Yuan said it seriously, not like a joke at all, but it sounded a little scary, Ning Mo recovered after a while, "That is to say, if Da Furen practices this exercise, she is actually seeking her own death? "

"Maybe that's the case, but if you haven't practiced for four or five years, you won't be able to reach that step. If you think about it, I don't want to wait so long." Ning Yuan said: "Besides, this is just one of mine. Guess, as long as you and I have the bottom line, but don't let this matter out, so as not to cause trouble."

Seeing Ning Mo nodding, Ning Yuan was thinking about another thing. The Jade Heart Sutra has been lost for a long time, but the reason why he knew it was because he happened to know someone who was not only good at recruiting capable people and strangers, They also collected many strange exercises... Sikong Xu, if you really gave this exercise to the eldest lady, then what is your purpose?

The next day, Ning Yuan went to Ruining Academy on time as usual. As usual, Ning Zhan still ignored him and read his own book, but this time, Ning Yuan no longer just stood there with low eyebrows. , but took the initiative to say: "I see that elder brother seems to like to read some eclectic scripts, but as a younger brother, I still want to advise you that everything should be controlled. Eldest brother is not in good health. The emotion was unbearable, and in the end the tossing made the body even worse, and it couldn't hurt the mother's heart."

Ning Zhan was taken aback, and immediately closed the pre-bound book with the cover of "Mencius" in his hand, and said with a stiff face, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Brother, after all, you are only three years older than me. You may be able to hide some of the tricks that our peers are used to doing, but you can't beat me." Ning Yuan had a look on his face. With the expression of "a thousand cups of wine is too small for a bosom friend", he said slowly: "Although the cover of the book in your hand is Mencius, it is just a cover of Mencius, and the content, it should be Mr. Chunwen's book The very famous "Treasure of Wind and Moon", brother, am I right?"

The expression on Ning Zhan's face changed continuously, but he saw that Ning Yuan's expression was friendly, and he was not surprised to find anything serious. His expression softened slightly, but he still said with a calm face: "How did you find out? ?”

Ning Yuan smiled and said: "This is the big brother's carelessness. The words in the book are not small, and I have always had good eyesight. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the sentence 'there are two people in front of the bed, and the clothes are naked'. From the famous lines in Fengyue Baojian, you can naturally see the mystery in it."

Ning Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that this Fengyue Baojian...have you seen it too?"

"Of course I've seen it. When it comes to this kind of story books, Mr. Chunwen is one of them. The Fengyue Baojian is even more famous in the world. May I ask which man doesn't have a copy in his room?" Ning Zhan squeezed his eyes, "Unfortunately, although Fengyue Baojian is wonderful, it is an old thing a few years ago. A few days ago, Mr. Chunwen just published a new book called "Longyang Eighteen Styles". , How can it be said with words." After speaking, Ning Yuan shook his head and clicked his tongue.

After Ning Zhan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

He has been bedridden all year round, perhaps because he has been depressed since he was a child, and he has nothing to do on weekdays, so he finds fun on himself, going back and forth, when other people's young masters are reciting the Four Books and Five Classics, but he is only interested in some romantic things, It's a pity that Mrs. Yan kept a close eye on him. Even the Fengyue Baojian in his hand was brought back quietly by the servants around him after spending a lot of money. Afraid of being discovered by Yan Shi, now that Ning Yuan not only understands this, but even looks good at it, he can't help but feel like a "communist", his face has eased a lot, and he quickly stood up, "Brother Sit down, you said that Mr. Chunwen just published a new book?"

As a concubine, Ning Zhan has always looked down on the concubines and sisters in his family, so when Mrs. Yan told him to "take good care" of the third younger brother, he gladly did so, but he didn't know that the third younger brother was actually a concubine. The strange man aroused his curiosity, and also ignored Yan's warning.

"Naturally, don't you know, big brother?" Ning Yuan pretended to be surprised.

"Well, my body is like this. At most, my mother only allows me to hang around at home, so how can she let me go out." Ning Zhan couldn't wait to approach Ning Yuan and said, "Brother, please tell me, what is in Mr. Chunwen's new book?" What exactly was written?"

"Well..." Ning Yuan dragged his voice on purpose, pointing to the Fengyue Baojian on his desk and said: "The contents of Fengyue Baojian are just ordinary romantic affairs between men and women, but that The Eighteen Styles of Longyang, but they are all talking about the happy things among men, and they are accompanied by a lot of meticulously drawn illustrations, in terms of the content, it is really exciting and very curious."

"What did you say!?" Ning Zhan's eyes were so wide that their eyeballs were about to fall out, and he looked around the empty study room vigilantly, and said, "It's, it's such a content..." He He had always coveted Ning Ruhai's male body, but now he heard such a wonderful book from Ning Yuan's mouth, his heart immediately hung in his throat.

"That's not true." Seeing that Ning Zhan's interest was successfully aroused by him, Ning Yuan also lowered his voice, "It's just that the book is too popular, the market has been out of stock, and the price on the black market has been raised too high. Fortunately, Three days later, there will be a new batch of Zhenqi Pavilion on the East Street for sale, I heard that there are not many in stock, I am already going to grab a copy, such rare items, even if it costs a few taels of silver, are worth it."

"Three days later?" Ning Zhan paused, walked back and forth in the study, and suddenly took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve robe and stuffed them into Ning Yuan's hands, "My dear brother, I still need your help in this matter. Since you are going, you must help my brother get a copy!"

"This..." Ning Yuan showed a hesitant expression, "The book is so rare, I'm afraid there will be too many people robbing it, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do what I want..."

"My body can't get out, so I can only trouble you, brother." Ning Yuan's face was full of pleading, "Good brother, it's my brother who is begging you, can't you?"

"Okay." Ning Yuan seemed to have made up his mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Since it's my brother's business, it's also my business. I'll try my best to get you one for you, brother."

"That's right." Ning Zhan said again: "I hope my brother will be more careful about this matter, and don't let mother know."

Ning Yuan nodded, that was natural.

After coming out of the study, Ning Yuan shook the silver in his hand, and couldn't help but sneered at the two ebony doors.Ning Zhan let him stand for so many days, but he did not stand in vain. He observed his brother from all directions, from the pornographic books he had been pretending to be reading, and his paleness. His complexion, and the two bruises under his eyes were obviously caused by excessive indulgence and hurt his kidney qi. What's more, he didn't leave immediately one day, but avoided the servants and hid under the window sill, and saw it with his own eyes. While Ning Zhan insulted himself, what he called out was Ning Ruhai's name.

Shocked, Ning Yuan knew that a huge opportunity had been given to him.

Yan wanted to rely on Ning Zhan's hand to torment him, but she didn't know that she had exposed several secrets to Ning Yuan's eyes, and if any of these secrets were exposed, the entire Ning Mansion would immediately fall into chaos.

But Ning Yuan won't reveal it so soon, it's better to let Yan Shi taste the chance of being eaten away step by step.

087 Heart of Huyan

Mr. Chunwen is a good hand in writing romantic affairs among the people. Recently, when he travels freely all over the country, from high-ranking officials and nobles down to commoner slaves, when he is amusing himself from someone's boudoir, he will not hide one or two of Mr. Chunwen's works, especially the new ones. As soon as it goes on sale, you can live in rare goods. This time, I heard that Zhenqi Pavilion has finally launched a batch of goods. Although the asking price is ten taels of silver, although it describes the happy things in Longyang, it still attracts a group of prodigal sons who love to hunt for novelties early in the morning. They waited in line outside the door.

On the second floor of the tavern not far from Zhenqi Pavilion, Huyan Yuanchen was sitting alone by the window drinking.Since he returned to the city, because he was a little angry with Ning Yuan, he didn't go with Ning Yuan, but left straight away. He thought that he had helped Ning Yuan so much, and Ning Yuan would more or less personally I asked him to thank him, but for so many days in a row, there was no movement at all in Ning Yuan, and he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, so he always drank a lot of boring wine every day.

Standing behind him, Yan Fei saw his young master always had a gloomy face. While he was resenting that young master Ning in his heart, he also felt more and more strange about his young master. It was just that he didn't come to thank him in a timely manner. , Is it necessary for my young master to be so angry, but he dare not mention it, otherwise, if Huyan Yuanchen gets interested and takes him to practice swords, it will be much more miserable than drinking with him by the side.

"Young master, look at the long queue over there, maybe they are selling some good things, let's go and have a look." Seeing that Huyan Yuanchen finished drinking another pot, Yan Fei couldn't help persuading him.

Huyan Yuanchen hadn't paid attention to the scenery on the street. He couldn't help turning his eyes to the window when he heard what Yan Fei said, but when he looked at it, he just saw a carriage coming at the end of the road. Although there was no mark on the carriage, it was The driver of the carriage is very familiar, isn't he Zhou Shi who is beside Ning Yuan? As the carriage stopped, Zhou Shi mixed a man who was completely hidden in a cloak from the carriage and lined up neatly at the end of the line. Even if he didn't look at the face, but just focused on the figure, Huyan Yuanchen immediately recognized that it was Ning Yuan.

First come, first served, ten taels of silver per copy. Pay first and then get the book, big guy..." The little bastard hadn't finished speaking, but He couldn't continue, because the red-eyed crowd had already squeezed him away, and rushed into the shop impatiently. Ning Yuan and Zhou Shi both had kung fu, and they squeezed in smoothly like swimming fish Well, as for Huyan Yuanchen, he was pushed in completely by surprise. He took out money and things in a daze, and then squeezed out along the crowd. I'm afraid he would have taken his things and left long ago.

He shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he remembered to see what he had bought for ten taels of silver, but as soon as his gaze settled on the cover of the book, his pupils immediately widened, and quickly Putting the book into his arms, he looked around vigilantly, his face flushed slightly.

just because of that book
