bastard returns

If His Highness stood with your tall and burly guards, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed you, Your Highness. "

Does this mean that in his eyes, he can't even compare to a guard?Being squeezed out one after another by Ning Yuan, a crack finally appeared on Sikong Xu's face that had been pretending to smile, and Ning Yuan didn't intend to stay any longer.

And Huyan Yuanchen was still squatting there staring at Sikong Xu, because when Ning Yuan was walking, several men in black who were hiding in the dark had already leaned out one after another. It seemed that as long as Sikong Xu issued an order, they would all gather Jumping forward to take Ning Yuan down, Sikong Xu clenched his fist hanging by his side, stared fiercely at Ning Yuan's back, but waved his hand back, and those men in black retreated back.

Huyan Yuanchen heaved a sigh of relief, retreated quietly, intending to continue to follow Ning Yuan, but he turned around, and could not find Ning Yuan's shadow at all. In desperation, he felt that Ning Yuan should be The movement was too fast, and he had already left, so he had no choice but to return along the same path, but the moment he jumped out of the fence at a remote corner, he saw Ning Yuan crossing his arms and leaning against the entrance of the alley, with eyes like Staring at him with a half smile.

Huyan Yuanchen squatted on the wall for a moment without moving, the two stared at each other for a moment, Ning Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, it turns out that His Highness Huyan has such a habit, but I have to say that His Highness In a word, the folk customs of our Dazhou are open, and it is not shameful to have fun with men, Your Highness, you can go in and out through the main entrance without any hesitation, why jump around the corner like a thief, it is really petty."

The tone was low and helpless, and there was a charm of hating iron but not steel. Huyan Yuanchen's face turned white and red, and he was flustered for a while. He was about to explain, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and looked at Ning Yuan again. With a smile that was not a smile, he immediately understood, jumped off the wall, and responded with some embarrassment: "When did you find me?"

Ning Yuan didn't speak, but stepped forward, and suddenly put his hand into the lapel of Huyan Yuanchen's chest. Ning Yuan's hand was a little cold, Huyan Yuanchen was startled, and was about to back away, but Ning Yuan had already left He took out a small package wrapped in white cloth from his chest.

The white cloth bag was not big, so Ning Yuan held it up to his nose and smelled it, and said, "Actually, you hid it very well all the way, but I still advise you, next time you follow others, don't put it on your body." Looking for something with a smell, I have always had a good nose, when I was talking to Sikong Xu just now, I vaguely smelled it, and immediately knew that you must be hiding nearby."

There was a slight smell of milk on the cloth bag, it was the dried cheese that Huyan Yuanchen would always carry with him, but the smell was so light that ordinary people could not smell it without paying attention, but Ning Yuan remembered the smell, so he knew about Huyan Yuan Chen's whereabouts.

Huyan Yuanchen wiped his nose helplessly, and for a moment he didn't dare to look into Ning Yuan's eyes, but Ning Yuan acted as if he didn't take it seriously, he threw a piece of cheese into his mouth and chewed it, and continued: " That cup of tea just now was really sour, I don’t know how much vinegar was added to it by the person who poured it.”

Huyan Yuanchen finally raised his head and gave him a strange look, "Aren't you angry that I follow you like this?"

"Is this the first time for you to do this?" Ning Yuan squinted at him, turned and walked towards the street, Hu Yanyuanchen hurriedly followed, walked beside him, and whispered: "I didn't intend to do this either. , I just..." I just wanted to ask you about that "book", but when the words got to my throat, Huyan Yuanchen suddenly remembered what he had just overheard, and he got stuck there and couldn't continue, Ning Yuan has already talked to Sikong Xu so straightforwardly, is there any need for him to ask again?

In the second half of the street, the sound of Yingyan became less, and the surroundings returned to the silent night. Ning Yuan slowed down, and suddenly said: "It's not noisy here, you can ask whatever you want."

"I..." Huyan Yuanchen pursed the corners of his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is it true what you said to the fourth prince just now?"

"It's all true." Ning Yuan nodded without thinking, and repeated as if he was afraid that Huyan Yuanchen didn't hear clearly, "It's true that I have been fighting against the fourth prince. I don't want to see my mother-in-law. Really, including that I have a habit of breaking sleeves... This is also true."

After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he looked up at Huyan Yuanchen's expression, saw that he was still looking dignified, and continued: "But I guess, you know more or less about the first two things, which will really make you feel better. The one who is surprised should be the fact that I have broken sleeves."

"I don't really understand." Huyan Yuanchen shook his head, "I know there are men talking about it, but it was always just a matter of making fun on a romantic night, but if there are really two men who have broken their sleeves Well, it is really against..."

"Is there any violation of ethics?" Ning Yuan's eyes flickered, "So you think I'm disgusting?"

"Of course not." Huyan Yuanchen shook his head vigorously, "I'm just too surprised, I don't mean to belittle Brother Ning at all."

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Although I am a broken sleeve, I have no plans to find a partner in this life. First of all, I don't have a sweetheart, and even if I do, I'm afraid I don't have the time to care about it." Come and flirt with others." Ning Yuan raised his head, "So Huyan brother, you can look at me with a normal heart, if you can't, don't force it, everyone originally met by chance, it was easy to get together, you helped me Those things, no matter what you think of me in the future, I will always remember them in my heart."

Hu Yanyuanchen's cheeks were a little hot from Ning Yuan's words, but he couldn't see it clearly in the night, he shook his head lightly and said: "Brother Ning, don't think too much, how could I look down on you, if you If you think that I will care about these trivial matters, then you despise me."

"In this case, what I mean, Huyan, do you understand?" Ning Yuan looked at him.

Huyan Yuanchen didn't turn the corner, "Brother Ning, what are you referring to?"

"Like Xianghe Town, the matter of sharing the bed with me every day, although I know you are mostly joking, I hope you will not do it lightly in the future." Ning Yuan's expression was serious, and his tone was not in the slightest As if joking, "Now that you know that I am a broken sleeve, but you are not a boring man, everyone is at a young age, so please understand my difficulties."

Huyan Yuanchen's eyes froze, and he immediately thought of the many nights they spent together in Xianghe Town. He always used various reasons and took advantage of his figure to squeeze into Ning Yuan's bed every night. He felt that it didn't matter if he was sleeping in his arms, but Ning Yuan always showed resistance. At first he thought it was Ning Yuan's hypocrisy, but now it seems that the various dissatisfaction and stiffness that Ning Yuan showed at that time were mysterious. It's on top of this!

However, Ning Yuan continued as if he had never been addicted, "You can imagine that you were sleeping peacefully, but suddenly there was another charming woman who was trying to get into your arms. You can't say anything, you can't do anything, just pretend to be nothing and continue to sleep... Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing that Ning Yuan compared such a tall person to a charming woman, Hu Yanyuanchen was dazed, but his cheeks began to become hot and red.

The author has something to say: This is a so-called straight-forward process. Let people first understand "ah, so there are gays in the world", then let him understand "it's no big deal for gays to be human", and finally let people understand He realized "Since you can be gay, why can't I", and then... he's done, hugging mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin man and mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin man and mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin mandarin Co.

091 A new game

Seeing that Huyan Yuanchen was still silent, Ning Yuan thought he understood what he meant, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.In fact, ever since Huyan Yuanchen was peeping from the side, Ning Yuan had made up his mind to take this opportunity to clarify these things with him. If Huyan Yuanchen is not a fool, then everyone can get along with each other easily and easily in the future Much more, otherwise Huyan Yuanchen would be "considerate" and close to him as usual, although Ning Yuan thought he could handle it clearly, but in the long run, it would always be bad.

The two of them didn't speak any more, they just walked forward along the deserted street, Huyan Yuanchen deliberately slowed down half a step, staring at the back of Ning Yuan's head with complicated eyes all the way, until not far from Ning's mansion, Ning Yuanchen Yuan didn't say hello to him again, he jumped up the courtyard wall deftly, and disappeared soon after.

But Huyan Yuanchen did not leave immediately. He stood there, lowering his head in thought for a while, and looking up at the empty courtyard wall for a while. He was solemn, his brows were tightly frowned, and there was a sense of depression all over his body for no reason, which made the watchman raise his eyebrows, thinking that this person was some kind of criminal, he trotted away from him with a low waist.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather became cold very quickly, and the Yan family prepared a new batch of materials to prepare autumn clothes for the whole house.In the past, when the Liu family was in power, in order to show that she managed the family well, whenever it was time to buy clothes for the whole family, in addition to the routine allocation from the treasury bank, she would also buy a large sum of money herself. Buy all kinds of luxurious and precious materials, and the clothes you make are also magnificent.But this time it was changed to the Yan family, but there was no such treatment as before. The Yan family was not richer than the Liu family, and there was no subsidy, and Ning Yuan cut off her large amount of silver. Yin plans to live, so the quality of the autumn clothes has dropped a lot compared to previous years.

Shen Shi was turning two walnuts in her hand, looking at the piles of fabrics in front of her, she could see nothing unusual on her complexion, but it was definitely not good-looking, while Yan Shi stood aside attentively, following the usual practice, one The materials will be selected by the old lady first, and the rest will be distributed according to the position or the requirements of the elders. However, although there are many materials in front of me, there is only one piece of Shu brocade that can be seriously regarded as such. Old madam, if you pick the best one without blushing or panting, you will inevitably lose your elder bearing and look petty, but if you don't pick, the wives from other houses will post invitations to her to drink tea and watch a play When she went there, if she wore clothes from previous years, or clothes made of inferior materials, those old women might talk about her in private.

Shen Shi was in a dilemma, but Ning Ruhai came with a beautiful woman in yellow clothes. The beautiful woman was wearing a goose yellow satin skirt, covered with a layer of light gauze, with cloud temples and silver hairpins. A scent of crabapple, but Tang's.

Tang's current appearance is quite different from the past. Ever since Ning Ruhai started to pay attention to her again, she has never worn the plain clothes she used to, and her makeup is neat and beautiful every day, and she never cares what others say What, of course because of her background, from the Shen family to the servants, she couldn't chew much tongue, most of them were coquettish, coquettish and coquettish clichés, and she didn't dare to put it on the surface, because Now Ning Ruhai treats the Tang family, although it can't be said that he is very fond of him, but he is not as indifferent as before, and he even spends more time in the Xianglian courtyard than at the Yan family.

When Yan Shi saw Tang Shi, he couldn't help clenching the fingers holding the handkerchief in his sleeve.Recently, she hated Tang to the bottom of her heart. She couldn't believe that a woman who was so oppressed by her and lived like an ant was able to turn around with a little trick. Before she regretted herself, she was careless. While completely disposing of this woman, he was also unambiguously looking for any opportunity to get rid of Tang, but Tang and his son Ning Yuan were not easy to use, whether it was Xianglianyuan or Zhuxuantang. , are like iron walls, it is really difficult to find the opportunity to strike, and she dare not be too conspicuous, not to mention that she seems to have something wrong with her body recently, she often wakes up in the middle of the night feeling hot and unstoppable, she just wants Ning Ruhai to come Pamper herself well, she hasn't slept well for several days, so her appearance is even more haggard, and seeing Tang's graceful appearance, how can she not hate it.

Tang shi bowed to Shen shi with a low eyebrow, but Shen shi didn't look at her, Tang shi was not surprised, she just quietly stepped aside and stood still, Ning Ruhai coughed lightly, and said: "Old lady, My son heard that your lunch was not good, so I came to see you, but you feel unwell?"

"Hmph, if you're really unwell, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold when you come over to take a look." Shen Shi reprimanded with a half-smile, took a sip of the hawthorn tea by her side, and suddenly seemed to remember something , unexpectedly turned his head and said to Tang voluntarily for the first time: "The eldest daughter-in-law sent the material for making autumn clothes. Since you are here now, don't stick around there, just choose one and go."

Tang's complexion didn't change, but Ning Ruhai was stunned for a moment. He knew that Shen had always disliked Tang very much, and he always avoided seeing the two of them on weekdays, but just now when they were sitting in the Xianglian courtyard, they heard people say that Shen Mrs. Chen didn't have a good lunch, and Mrs. Tang offered to accompany Ning Ruhai to pay her respects. Ning Ruhai was surprised enough, she didn't think Mrs. Shen would really talk to Mrs. Tang.

In fact, Ning Ruhai didn't know that Shen's attitude towards Tang's sudden change was due to the cup of hawthorn tea in her hand.Recently, the weather has turned cold, and Shen's spleen and stomach are weak, and she doesn't want to eat. It's not a problem at first, and it's fine to add a couple of warming decoctions, but the decoction will inevitably taste bitter. He will stick to it every now and then.At noon today, she felt a little bloated in her stomach. She didn't eat well at first, but Ning Yuan seemed to be right. Just after the meal, he sent someone to deliver a cup of hawthorn tea, which was specially blended with honey. It's sweet and sour, and it also invigorates the stomach and eliminates food, which is very suitable for her.Others knew that she was unwell, even if it was Ning Ruhai, they would only ask An to ask a doctor. There are not many people like Ning Yuan who are as thoughtful as Ning Yuan. No matter what, Tang is Ning Yuan's biological mother. Looking at the hawthorn tea in his hand, Thinking of her grandson's kindness, even if Shen still doesn't like Tang, she won't be too mean to her on the surface.

The old lady actually let her choose first! ?Under Yan's unbelievable gaze, Tang stood up gracefully, without any shyness, stepped forward gracefully, and hugged the only Sichuan brocade.

Seeing her choice, the anger in Yan's heart suddenly turned into a happy sneer, and he quietly looked at Shen's face, sure enough, Shen's face was a little gloomy, and Ning Ruhai's expression was not good-looking.After all, she is a lowly woman from a brothel, she can be as shameless as this with a little face, a little aunt, actually picks up the best things in front of the old lady, she doesn't understand filial piety at all, she really wants to kill herself .

Ning Ruhai is also very puzzled, the reason why he dotes on Tang shi these days is because Tang shi has changed from being timid and estranged to him before, and has become gentle and gentle. Ning Ruhai was very satisfied, but her behavior was very abrupt right now, so he immediately shouted: "Nonsense, can you take that, put it down!"

But Tang was unmoved, hugged the blue Shu brocade, and said to Shen: "Old lady, I offended you, but I am quite obsessed with sewing recently. I have found a very delicate imperial imperial dress pattern, if it is sewn with this piece of Shu brocade, it will be very beautiful, I am eager for skills at the moment, I hope the old lady will make it come true."

As soon as Tang's words came out, Yan immediately realized what was going on.Imperial court clothes, this thing is only eligible to be worn by imperial women. Even if Tang has a pattern and can sew a suit of clothes, he must not wear them. There are only two people in the entire Ning Mansion who have imperial orders, except for himself. It is absolutely impossible for Shen and Tang to give the clothes to themselves, so it is self-evident who will get the clothes in the end.

For a while, she clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand even more, and looked at Tang shi even more viciously. Tang shi was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!She was careless today, she specially prepared that piece of Shu brocade, for which she also cut down the quality of other fabrics, just to please Shen Shi, but she didn't expect that Shen Shi would be embarrassed to take care of her own decency. Picking out the best things directly, but what Tang is doing now is tantamount to taking care of Shen's dignity, showing his filial piety, and giving Shen what she wants. It kills two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, after hearing what Tang said, Shen's gloomy face immediately disappeared, and he put on a ruddy smile, "I often heard Yuan'er say that you are very good at sewing, and his clothes Most of them are sewed by you yourself, and the embroiderers are much better than the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop, so I naturally have nothing to object to."

Yan Shi stood aside and couldn't get in the way, but she almost vomited blood from anger. Not only did she not get anything good, but she made wedding dresses for others, not to mention that the leftover fabrics are not good products, so they should be distributed In the end, it was inevitable that someone would comment that she, the mistress of the house, was mean and mean. How could she not be angry if she gave up such thoughts but ended up being a bad person inside and out?

Seeing Shen shi and Tang shi talking in a friendly manner, even Ning Ruhai didn't even look at her, Yan shi felt her brain cramping and couldn't stand any longer, she hurriedly gave Shen shi a blessing and left with an excuse Seeing her, Tang looked at her staggering back, but her expression didn't show any complacency. Instead, she frowned slightly, showing a little worry.

Coming out of Shou'an Hall, Tang did not go back to Xianglian Courtyard, but went straight to Zhuxuan Hall. After entering the courtyard, she was dumbfounded by the scene in front of her. Ning Xiner was sitting on the branch of a peach tree by the courtyard gate. , while dangling a pair of embroidered shoes on his feet, he made faces at a distraught boy under the tree.

That boy should be a handsome boy, but it's a pity that his original face can no longer be seen clearly. A huge turtle was painted on his face with heavy ink and color, which is very funny.

092 Seek Needs

Tang took a closer look and found that Ning Xin'er was really holding a brush in her hand, and even her skirt was stained with ink, she couldn't help shouting: "Xin'er, what are you messing around with, come down quickly!"

Seeing Tang, Ning Xiner stuck out her tongue, and dexterously climbed down the tree trunk. The boy still had his eyes puffed out, but he didn't make any other movements, just stood aside with his head bowed.

There was a lot of commotion here, which naturally alarmed people in other places. A beautiful woman of about the same age as Tang came out from the direction of the small kitchen. After paying a salute, he pulled the boy aside and took out a square towel to wipe his face.

"Mother Shu, this concubine is incapable of teaching her daughter, and this child, Ah Xuan, has been wronged." Tang looked at the woman apologetically.

"What did Auntie say? It's just children playing around. Naturally, the servant will not mind. The young master is waiting for Auntie in the room. Auntie should go quickly." Shu Shi smiled slightly, and led Nuxuan towards the bedroom. Xuan, however, still seemed to be out of anger, and he still turned around and made a face at Ning Xin'er.

Shu Shi is Nuxuan's biological mother. After being brought back to the house by Ning Yuan, she took over her mother's errand in this courtyard. The two mothers and sons have a place to live and work. They are very grateful to Ning Yuan, and they are also slaves on weekdays. Self-proclaimed, but Tang knew that although Ning Yuan didn't tell him explicitly, he had hinted that the identities of the mother and son were extraordinary, and he was very polite to them on weekdays.

"Mother, don't be angry, I just made a little joke with Xiaoxuanzi because I saw Xiaoxuanzi dodging and sleeping there." Ning Xiner hugged Tang Shi's leg and acted like a baby, Tang Shi tapped her eyebrows lightly, and sent her away Went to the side to play, and went straight into Ning Yuan's bedroom.

Ning Yuan was sitting at the desk in the bedroom, writing something there. Tang walked in and saw that it was a policy theory. She was quite familiar with poetry, but she was completely unfamiliar with policy theory and political figures, so she stood Ning Yuan took a closer look behind him for a moment, but the more he looked, the more he seemed to be in the fog, and he couldn't make any sense at all, so he could only wait on the side dryly.

Ning Yuan also moved quickly. After finishing the last few sentences of Yingou Tiehua, he put down his pen and smiled at Tang: "Mother seldom comes to me, but what's the matter?"

"I have some things I can't figure out, so I came to ask you." Tang sat down on a round stool at the side, "This day was originally calm, why did you ask me to provoke the eldest lady face to face, Don't you want her to deal with us as soon as possible?"

"It's because it's so peaceful that I thought of pushing her." Ning Yuan said, "Mother, you also know that even if you don't provoke the eldest lady, the eldest lady is still trying to get rid of us all the time." The idea is that I have never been able to find an opportunity. The eldest lady is different from the third lady. The third lady likes to be eager for quick success, but the eldest lady is good at patience. If there is no right opportunity, the eldest lady will not make a move, but if she does not, We have no way to catch her."

After listening to it for a while, Tang understood what Ning Yuan meant, but she was still a little apprehensive, "But are you sure that she will fall for it?"

"Anyone's patience has a limit. No matter how much the eldest madam can bear it, when she is kicked in the face by people she looks down on one after another, one day, she will not be able to bear it anymore. Naturally, there is no way to put her fox The tail is hidden so well." Ning Yuan took a volume of almanac by the table and flipped through it, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Nine Suns Festival is coming soon."

"That's right." Only then did Tang remember, "Our mansion has won the leader of the Duanyang Dragon Boat this time, and your father has been worrying about going to Huajing for the Nine Suns Festival."

"It's the first time for our family to come to Beijing to participate in the Nine Suns Festival, so it's normal for father to be worried." Ning Yuan paused, "Did father decide on the candidates for going to Beijing this time?"

"I heard him mention it to me once, because the family members who can accompany him are limited. The eldest lady and the old lady are both imperial wives, so they will naturally accompany them. With their parents, the eldest son Ning Zhan should also go with him. The second lady's family is in the middle of the capital. , This time I also invited my colleagues, saying that I want to go back to visit my parents, and the rest are some attendants." After finishing speaking, she looked at Ning Yuan, "Could it be that you want to go too?"

"It's not whether I want to go, but I have to go this time." Ning Yuan said: "If you don't believe me, mother, just wait and see."

Ning Yuan expected it well, just two days later, just this opportunity to pay respects to Mrs. Shen in the Shou'an Hall, a group of people were drinking morning tea with Mrs. Yan, when Mrs. Yan suddenly got up and said to Ning Ruhai: "My lord, my concubine I have an unfeeling request, and I hope the master will agree."

Ning Ruhai raised his hand and signaled Yan Shi to continue. Yan Shi took a look at Ning Yuan and said, "Zhan'er is not feeling well and can't bear the fatigue of traveling. How about letting Yuan'er go instead of Zhan'er?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Ning Yuan.

Going to Huajing to participate in the Nine Suns Festival is the first time in Ningfu for so many years, and it is also a great honor. After all, Huajing is the capital of a country. In addition to countless dignitaries and dignitaries, many places are also like Jiangzhou. What Chengjun can't compare to, if not for the limited number of people who can accompany him, I'm afraid that everyone sitting here wants to see the world, but Ning Yuan can do such a good thing, and others can't help but be envious.

Ning Ruhai looked at Yan Shi with some strangeness, as if she didn't understand why she said such words, "But Ning Yuan is just a bastard son, so he put his son-in-law aside and walked with his son-in-law, what would others think when he saw this?" ? Zhan'er is not in good health, so it's okay not to go, but Ning Yuan will hurt the general body."

Yan's family was persistent, "Master's words are wrong. Although Yuan'er is a concubine, the master can see both his personality and talent. Since Zhan'er can't go, Yuan'er is by his side. It can reflect the master's ability to teach his children well, and secondly, it can also show the master's generosity. Besides, Yuan'er and Mr. Gao Yu have also formed a good relationship. If he goes to Beijing, Yuan'er can also pay a visit to Mr. Gao Yu's mansion. One time, one time of filial piety."

What Yan said was reasonable and detailed, Ning Ruhai had no words to refute for a while, Shen also nodded and said: "The eldest daughter-in-law is right, this Jiuyang Festival is a rare opportunity, others may not be able to go, but Yuan'er is going Well, I have no objection to this matter, old lady."

Hearing what Shen said, Ning Ruhai could only nod his head, as he was sure of the matter.

Seeing that the matter had settled, Ning Yuan hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank the elder, and Yan Shi also helped him up with his own hands with kindness and kindness. , who saw the mystery, either looked worried, or gloated.

Mrs. Yan returned to Ruining Courtyard, before receiving the tea offered by Mama Xu, she sighed proudly, "It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure!"

"My servant congratulates the eldest lady." Xu's mother also said with joy: "When the third young master leaves Jiangzhou, it will be the eldest lady's territory in the capital, and there is an uncle here. No matter what abilities that kid has, he can only accept it obediently." I'll die!"

"Hmph, a girl from a brothel, she has the courage to challenge me because she has a thick-skinned son. She is really looking for death. When I get rid of that kid Ning Yuan, I will definitely make Tang Yingyao, a little bitch, live or die when I come back. No." Yan drank a few sips of tea happily, then suddenly remembered something, and said again: "I heard that there are two more servants in the Bamboo Xuantang?"

Xu's mother said: "Yes, the slaves have already checked. The third young master brought them back from Xianghe Town. One Shu's mother and one Xiao Xuanzi are not our family's slaves. The details are unknown."

"Such a person who doesn't know the basics, God knows if he came to our house for other purposes, and he has not been well-educated. What if he gets into trouble one day and comes out?" Yan put the tea beside him, "Speed ​​the iron We couldn’t even insert a single person into the bucket-like Bamboo Xuantang, but now two strangers popped up suddenly, as the head of the house, I always have to educate them.”

Xu's mother understood and gave a blessing, "Yes, the servant will do it immediately!"

Carrying a food box, Mrs. Shu walked from Zhuxuan Hall to Xianglian Courtyard.

She had been ill for a few times, she was not in good health, and she couldn't do rough work, so Ning Yuan asked her to take care of some chores in the yard. The food box contained freshly baked yam cakes, and Ning Yuan specially ordered Send it to Ning Xiner.

Rounding the corner of the garden, suddenly two burly women blocked Shu Shi's way, Shu Shi was startled, and took two steps back for no reason, seeing a well-dressed mother walking out behind the two women, With a straight face, he didn't say much, and just said coldly, "Mother Shu, the eldest lady wants to see you." He ordered the two women to go forward and stand up Shu Shi, but she couldn't help but speak, He quickly took the person away in the direction of Ruining Courtyard.

There was a hint of panic on Shu's beautiful face, the two wives were so strong that they almost dragged her forward all the way, entered the main hall of Ruining Courtyard, and pushed her to the ground abruptly, Shu's He flopped around in embarrassment, raised his head, and saw a dignified and virtuous woman sitting high in front of him.

Xu's mother shouted at her, "Damn servant, you didn't even say hello to Da Furen when you saw Da Furen!"

Only then did Shu Shi kneel down properly, but timidly still did not speak.

"Mother Xu, after all, Mother Shu is the person next to the third young master. You have to be more polite to her." Yan Shi wiped the magnetic lid of the tea cup in his hand twice with a fake smile, and said softly to Shu Shi: "You Hold your head up."

093 Buddhist Temple Scheming

Shu Shi raised her head slightly so that Yan Shi could see her face, Yan Shi only glanced at her, then lowered her eyes, "He's well-born, I heard you have a son who also works in the third young master's yard? "

"Yes." Shu didn't say much, and lowered his head again.

"How is the third young master treating you, mother and son?" Yan asked again.

Shu Shi said softly: "The mother and son of the servants are able to live today, thanks to the help of the third young master. The servants are naturally grateful for the kindness of the third young master."

"Well, he is also a person who knows how to repay kindness." Yan Shi brushed off the dust that did not exist on his sleeve robe, and said: "It is a good temper to know how to repay kindness, and there are too few people who know how to repay kindness. In any case, the third young master brought you two, mother and son, into the mansion and gave you a place to settle down, but mother Shu, don’t forget that it’s not the third young master who is in charge of the Ning mansion. , or whom to thank, don’t be too short-sighted, you won’t know when you offended someone.”

Yan Shi's words were literally reserved, but the inner meaning was very explicit. How could Shu Shi not hear it, her eyes moved slightly, and she buried her head lower, "Yes, this servant is naturally more grateful to the master and madam favor."

Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That's right, Mother Shu is a sensible person, and she should know that without my acquiescence, not to mention two living people, even an ant, the third young master can't bring in, or Said, even if he hides and brings in ants today, tomorrow I can crush them to death and throw them out of the house."

Seeing Shu's body trembling slightly, Yan's glanced at Xu's mother, Xu's mother immediately took out a silver ingot from her sleeve robe, and threw it at Shu's feet. Candy, this is Yan's experience, "As the eldest lady, I am naturally capable enough to let your mother Shu and your son settle down in this mansion for a long time. Mother Shu should also understand that a good bird chooses wood and Xi, otherwise, no matter how cautious you are in your words and deeds, Mama Shu, your son has a childish heart, and if he accidentally falls or bumps into something, it will be difficult to handle. In the backyard, there are many rockery and ponds."

Mrs. Shu suddenly raised her head, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but Mrs. Yan continued: "Mother Shu, you don't have to worry, I'm just making an analogy, children like to play, but if Mrs. Shu is capable, someone will help you." Take care of him and make him peaceful."
