bastard returns

Seeing that the conductors were provoking and saluting, they didn't even give her a face-to-face, especially after seeing Tang's beside Ning Ruhai, she wanted to smash the brocade handkerchief in her sleeve robe with both hands,

She stayed behind closed doors these days, and thought that Ning Ruhai would take the initiative to comfort her, but she didn't know that the husband who was in love with her didn't come to the door once, and he didn't even send a meaningful message. Mom went out to inquire, and the news that she came back almost made her vomit blood with anger.

If she doesn't show up, someone will show up. Tang shi has been serving Ning Ruhai very well these days. Not only that, but Tang shi did not know what tricks she used. Even that charming Aunt Zhuang hugged her , two beautiful concubines, one on the left and the other on the right, stuck Ning Ruhai to death, with beauty in front, who would remember Yan Shi, a disgraced yellow-faced woman.

Yan couldn't hold back her "dignified" face to invite favors, and couldn't bear Tang's comeback one after another, so she quietly asked Mother Xu to pass a message to Ning Ruhai, mentioning the Tang's "stealing people", who would have thought The opposite happened, Ning Ruhai not only didn't alienate Tang, but scolded Madam Xu, a servant, for having the guts to gossip about Auntie, and rewarded her with ten boards.

That is to say, these ten boards made Yan Shi clearly realize that Tang Shi did not know what method he used to make Ning Ruhai forget the past, which was very bad for Yan Shi.

Standing in front of another carriage, Ning Yuan and Ning Mo had a panoramic view of the scene, but they were talking about something else. Ning Mo whispered: "Our elder brother has been looking forward to today for a long time. On weekdays, mother He was always detained in the mansion, he couldn't go out at all, but last night he sent someone to beg my mother, saying that he is much better now, and asked my mother to allow him to go out for a walk in a few days."

The second wife, Mrs. Zhao, was originally going to go with her this time, but a few days ago, she suddenly asked Ning Ruhai for her life, saying that the few people in the mansion who could take care of the affairs had all left, but it was impossible for someone to take charge of the overall situation. Second Madam, when the Eldest Madam is not in the mansion, she has the responsibility to push the matter over, because Mrs. Zhao keeps a low profile all the year round and never causes trouble. Ning Ruhai agreed to her request without even thinking about it. , all the affairs of the mansion were handed over to Mrs. Zhao.

"Second Madam is the most reasonable, so I must have agreed." Ning Yuan looked at Ning Mo with a half-smile, "But brother's body is still not strong, you should take care of him more at home, you have to let father When I came back, I saw a big brother who was alive and kicking."

"That's natural. My eldest brother has been ill for so long. I think he is interested in medical science. I heard people say that he is always reading a book of medicine with his hands. I guess the first thing he does when he is able to go out is to go to the pharmacy. " Ning Mo smiled tacitly, and after a while, he said worriedly: "We will take care of the affairs in the house, but you have no one to help you, so be careful not to follow the Da Furen's way. The eldest brother-in-law is currently the commander of the Huajing Imperial Guard, if the eldest lady instructs, for the sake of mother-in-law, he will definitely come to trouble you, you have to plan early."

Ning Yuan nodded knowingly.

After all the luggage was packed, it was time for departure. Ning Yuan only brought Zhou Shi, the Bai sister, with him. It was really inconvenient for the mother and son of the Shu family to show up in the capital, so Ning Yuan sent them to the Xianglian courtyard. Shi's care is always better.

The carriage did not go in the direction of the city gate, but went straight to the wharf. The fastest way to get from Jiangzhou to Huajing was by water. The journey of [-] miles, along the canal, usually took two days for a boat.This is the first time for Ning Yuan to leave Jiangzhou after his rebirth, but what he is about to set foot on is another "homeland". Therefore, standing on the deck and looking at the surging river below, it is inevitable that he has a sense of gain and loss.

At this moment, there was a distant flute sound on the river surface, showing that the person who played the flute had a steady breath. Ning Yuan took a closer look and saw a small boat gradually approaching behind their big boat. It looked very familiar, Ning Yuan looked at it for a while, and then realized that it was the one that Huyan Yuanchen personally made in the shipyard. There is a young man with a navy blue cloak unfolding behind him with the wind whistling across the river, making him a heroic figure. With an iron flute in his hand, the thick and long sound of the flute drifts away with the wind of the river , giving a sense of distance.

Prosperity Huajing, this word refers to the prosperity of Huajing.

It is not only the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also an ancient city that has stretched for several dynasties. In many books and classics, the wealth of Huajing City is even described as being able to squeeze out ointment with a handful of soil. There is not a single piece of linen in the eight streets and twelve alleys. Fan, although the description is exaggerated, but for this land of dragon veins that gathered the wealth and connections of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it also deserves such a title in some respects.

At dawn, the big ship docked at the pier, and the Nine Suns Festival was approaching, and the only pier in Huajing was also very lively, with luxurious boats berthing constantly, and visiting dignitaries from all over the place came to celebrate the emperor’s birthday .As soon as Ning Yuan got off the boat along the gangway, he saw a row of heavily armored imperial guards standing there. The leader of the imperial guards was riding a red horse, wearing silver armor, tall and heroic. He looked less than [-] years old, and his appearance was rough and handsome. When he saw the Ning family and his party, he immediately jumped off his horse, strode forward, clasped his fists at Ning Ruhai, and knelt down on one knee, " General!"

097 Self-defeating

Han Tao, the commander of the Imperial Guards in Huajing, used to be a fierce general under Ning Ruhai. He was born heroic and powerful. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, Ning Ruhai chose him as a soldier from among the recruits. Later, he repeatedly made military exploits.This person is honest and upright, and has always regarded Ning Ruhai as a mentor, so when he took office as the commander of the imperial guards, he was young and promising, and was favored by ladies from various families. Ning Ruhai's eldest daughter, Ning Rui'er, is the main wife. Since the two got married, even though Ning Rui'er has nothing to do, they still respect each other like a guest. Especially when they heard that Ning Ruhai was going to Beijing this time, Han Tao even He took off his official duties and came to greet him in person.

Ning Ruhai patted Han Tao on the shoulder, smiling very proudly, obviously quite fond of this son-in-law, "Now that your official position is higher than mine, it is inconvenient to call me general anymore, so how can you salute me again?" , how is Ruier recently?"

"Madam heard that the general is coming, and she has already prepared a banquet in the mansion, and she is waiting to welcome the general." After Han Tao finished speaking, his eyes slipped past a group of people, and finally fell on Ning Yuan, wondering: "This is ?”

"Tao'er, this is your third younger brother Ning Yuan, why don't Yuan'er salute your brother-in-law soon?" Yan made the introduction enthusiastically, putting on a friendly face.

Ning Yuan also bowed in cooperation, "Brother-in-law."

Looking at Han Tao, he obviously didn't want to talk to him, but asked Yan directly: "Where's brother Zhan'er, why didn't he come?"

"Hey, you all know Zhan'er's body. He just recovered a little bit, and he can't bear the fatigue of such a boat, but Yuan'er's body is much healthier, so Yuan'er has replaced Zhan'er." Wiping the corners of his eyes, Ning Yuan lowered his head but smiled silently.Yan Shi said half of what he said like this, and outsiders might not be able to hear it, but if he put it in Han Tao's ears, it was clear that he was trying to make him misunderstand that Ning Yuan had squeezed out Ning Zhan's position.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Han Tao looked at Ning Yuan with cold eyes immediately.Han Tao is an orphan, he is a fierce general on the outside, but a strict wife on the inside. Under Ning Ruier's years of indoctrination, he has always only regarded Ning Ruier's younger brother Ning Zhan as a serious Ning family. As for the other sons of the concubine, they all came to grab things from Ning Zhan, and with Yan's statement, the concubine actually had the guts to fight against the concubine, so how could he make him look good again.

YouQi Yan added another sentence at this time, "Don't look at Yuan'er's quiet appearance, but she is very knowledgeable. Master Gao Yu has already asked him to accept him as a closed disciple. He is really a member of my Ning family. Glory."

Since ancient times, the incompatibility between cultural relics and the incompatibility between generals and relatives has become the norm in the court.Especially Han Tao, the commander of the imperial guard who was born in the army, because he is rough and bold, and his methods are vigorous and vigorous, he will not abide by the rules of those literati and poets at all, so there are always censors impeaching him in the court, especially University scholar Gao Yu even scolded him face-to-face for "not talking about himself, not understanding elegance, not understanding human feelings". With Gao Yu's status, he is not easy to contradict as a leader, but he has long since disliked the group of civil servants. In particular, Ning Yuan was actually Gao Yu's closed disciple, which immediately made Han Tao's impression of Ning Yuan extremely bad.

Aware of Han Tao looking at him with contemptuous eyes, Ning Yuan didn't take it seriously, but looked at Yan Shi a few more times. He knew that she was going to trip him up in Huajing, but he didn't want her to be so impatient. , I started singing as soon as I got off the boat.

According to the rules, officials from the Ning Mansion who have received grace to participate in the Nine Suns Festival will be arranged to stay in the post house, but Han Tao has already prepared a carriage, apparently intending to take the entire group to his commanding mansion to stay. , There were several carriages. Ning Ruhai, Shen Shi, and Yan Shi all rode in exquisite and gorgeous wide-covered carriages. Tao did it on purpose, Ning Yuan didn't say anything, but the Bai sisters who followed her all the way were full of displeasure, but they also knew Ning Yuan's temper, since the young master didn't speak, there was no reason for their servants to push through.

Han Tao rode a tall horse and stood in front of him. Seeing that Ning Yuan got into the car without saying a word, he was unavoidably surprised, but soon turned the corner of his mouth, and spat out three words with great disdain: "soft persimmon."

The city of Huajing is huge, and it takes less than half an hour to walk from the Wharf Road to the Commanding Mansion, even in a carriage. Those who have never been to Huajing will find the streets all the way strange. The feeling of swimming.After getting off the car, Han Tao led the way, Ning Ruhai and Yan Shi supported Shen Shi, Ning Yuan walked in the back, and they entered the vermilion gate one by one.

The Commander's Mansion is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, which is quite spacious in Huajing, where every inch of land is expensive.Standing in front of the main hall to welcome guests is a beautiful young woman with a melon-seeded face and willow-leaf eyebrows. She looks somewhat similar to Yan's. She is wearing a moon-white long skirt covered with green gauze, and her head is very delicate. , seeing a group of people coming in from a distance, she immediately went forward, and bowed to Ning Ruhai and the others, "Grandmother and parents are looking forward to it!"

Ning Rui'er has not returned home all these years since she got married, Shen's family used to dote on this granddaughter, seeing how she is now a married woman, she is even more emotional, they pulled each other for a long time before walking into the hall.A round table has been placed in the center of the main hall. The table is small, but there are a lot of dishes, and each dish is very delicate.This is a popular banquet specification in Huajing. The dishes are not many but refined. Compared with the banquets of big families in Jiangzhou who pursue large quantities and ostentatious grades, it is obviously much more advanced, but it is limited by the size of the dining table. Only five carved wooden chairs were placed in the circle, and after the group of people sat down in priority, there was no seat for Ning Yuan alone.

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot that the third brother is coming too, so it would be nice to have less space." Ning Rui'er looked at Ning Yuan pretending to be surprised, "Why don't I set up another small table for the third brother how are you?"

Yan Shi looked at this scene, with a faint smile in her eyes, Ning Rui'er is indeed her eldest daughter, she just edited a book, this girl can arrange so well.This table was specially selected today, and it can only seat five people in total. No matter what, the sixth chair cannot be seated. If Ning Yuan wants to eat, he can only use a small square table like a servant who is trying dishes. Sitting on the side, anyway, Ning Rui'er used a poor preparation to shirk, even if Shen Shi wanted to defend her, she couldn't say anything, they were guests from afar, so could they still chew the tongue of their master because of a bastard?

Ning Rui'er did this to tell Ning Yuan for Yan Shi that he was not worthy to sit at the table with the master's family at all. If he didn't give Ning Yuan some prestige, this humble boy would be Also too proud.

Ning Yuan stood at the table for a while, then looked at Ning Rui'er, and saw that the other party was looking at him with a sarcastic look, but he said without changing his face and heartbeat: "It's okay, it happens that you are also There is no servant who prepares vegetables for grandma, even if you forget about it, the rules cannot be broken, I will spare a pair of hands to prepare vegetables for grandma." After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan walked over to Shen's body On the side, he arranged a group of dishes for her in an orderly manner, picked up a piece of crispy pickled cucumber for pre-dinner and put it in front of Shen Shi, then raised his head and looked back at Ning Rui'er with a half-smile.

For a while, everyone at the table had their own expressions, Han Tao's face was full of embarrassment, Ning Rui'er blushed directly, Ning Ruhai frowned slightly, Yan Shi felt bad, and immediately went to see Shen Shi , but Shen's expression was very calm, and she just said lightly: "Let's eat." He took the lead in picking up the cucumber Ning Yuan gave her, put it in his mouth, and chewed very hard.

"Grandmother, I didn't mean to..." Ning Rui'er seemed to want to defend herself, but she was interrupted by Shen before she could finish speaking, "We are visiting your house this time, so there is no reason to invite you Sticking to those rules, my wife, I don't care about these things, just eat."

Although Shen said that, her tone didn't sound like she didn't care at all. Ning Rui'er couldn't talk anymore, so she could only sit down nervously.

There are many dignitaries in Huajing, and places with more nobles pay more attention to their status. Therefore, when they enjoy their lives, they naturally have more rules than other places.

Take this meal as an example, even if it is an ordinary family banquet, according to the rules, the person with the highest seniority or status will be assigned a servant who specializes in serving dishes to show the noble status of the elders. This is also a common practice in Huajing. It's a well-known thing, Ning Rui'er is also aware of the rules, but she saw that Ning Ruhai and his party came from Jiangzhou, because Jiangzhou didn't have such rules, she felt troublesome and didn't prepare for it, but she didn't Ning Yuan took advantage of such a loophole.

Maybe she really didn't prepare these because she thought it was troublesome, but it's not certain whether Shen Shi thinks so, this old lady values ​​her own face more than anything else, but Ning Rui'er neglected her like this, even if she Guessing that the faces of both parties did not show dissatisfaction, they must be very unhappy in their hearts.

In particular, Ning Yuan was still lukewarm and then added a sentence "the rules cannot be broken", which made Ning Rui'er even more embarrassed. A bastard from Jiangzhou knows the rules. She is a woman who has been married to Huajing for many years. Even being able to ignore it shows how much he didn't take his grandmother seriously!

Yan Shi sighed cryptically, while complaining that Ning Rui'er was not up to date, she was also very surprised, how could Ning Yuan, a kid who grew up in Jiangzhou, know Huajing's rules?

But the thing that surprised her was still to come. As the banquet progressed, Ning Yuan not only knew the rules, but also was impeccable in both the way and the order of the dishes, as if he was used to such things. Shen Shi nodded frequently without saying anything, even Ning Ruhai occasionally looked at Ning Yuan with approval in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to give Ning Yuan a dismount, but suddenly gave him a chance to climb up. Thinking of this, although Yan Shi was chewing delicious food, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

098 Counting and counting

It was night, and the lights in Huajing City almost illuminated half of the sky.

The birthday of the Son of Heaven is just around the corner, and even at night, the streets are still very lively.Baimei pushed the door open and came in, saw Ning Yuan leaning against the window, looking at the rows of empty lanterns being released to pray for blessings in the sky, and said: "Master, do you want to go out for a stroll? I heard the maids in the mansion say that Huajing's The night market is very nice.”

"I've been tired all day, it's really inconvenient to go out." Ning Yuan had no intention of going out at all. Bai Tan, who was making Ning Yuan's bed, got up and said to Bai Mei: "Did you bring the supper? The young master didn't eat at night. Something, always have some supper before going to bed."

"Don't talk about supper, I'll get angry when I talk about it." Baimei pouted suddenly, and put the food box on the table heavily, Bai Tan walked over to open it, and quickly frowned, hesitating for a moment , and brought out a plate of cold flower rolls and a cup of half-warm chicken soup from inside.

Forget about the flower rolls, but the ingredients of the chicken soup are obviously selected, one chicken head, one chicken butt, and three chicken ribs, just looking at it makes people angry.

"Isn't this obviously bullying people!" Bai Tan said coldly, "Is this how the commander's mansion treats guests?"

"That's what I asked the servants in the kitchen just now, but they said that the master of the mansion lives a very frugal life, and the ingredients for supper are the scraps left over from dinner. It doesn't matter who comes, let our young master not Picky, I asked them to boil this chicken soup, but they refused." Baimei said with anger on her face, "I don't believe that the supper they sent to the old lady is also this kind of thing!"

"Okay, think about whose house this is. If they provide me with good food and drink, I won't be able to afford it. After all, we won't stay here for a long time." Ning Yuan walked over Smelling the chicken soup, seeing a fishy smell still wafting in it, he shook his head, "Take it and throw it away."

Outside the wing room where Ning Yuan lived, there was a girl poking her head over there. Seeing that the white sandalwood was about to be put in for supper and then thrown away, the girl showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and quickly turned around and left. After a while, she entered a spacious and gorgeous bedroom. , and said to the two women sitting on the main seat: "The servants knocked clearly, and the supper was thrown away."

"Hmph, it's really shameless to let me be so shameless in front of my grandmother, but I still have the nerve to eat late at night." Ning Rui'er changed her attire, she looked cleaner, but her face was full of resentment.

"Rui'er, now you know, that kid can embarrass you face to face at your house today, you can think about what kind of life I have lived." Yan sighed, with aggrieved face, licking his sleeves. He wiped away the tears that didn't exist in the corner of his eyes.

"Mother, you are that kid's aunt, just use your aunt's identity to suppress him, what are you doing to live such a wronged life?" Ning Rui'er was puzzled.

"You girl don't know, that kid has long since ignored me, my aunt." Yan's expression became even more desolate, "Today you also saw how much your grandmother likes him. Although I am a aunt, But there is an old lady on the top, and you can't even reprimand that kid, or your grandmother will trouble me, not to mention that boy's mother-in-law Tang Yingyao is liked by your father. My first wife who is even difficult to protect herself, maybe your father will be happy one day, divorce me, and help that kid's mother upright, I don't know."

"How could father be so confused, mother, you really worry too much." Ning Rui'er hastily comforted Yan.

"My worry is not without reason. With Zhan'er's body, I don't know if I can compete with Ning Yuan in the future. If a concubine inherits the title of Wu'anbo Mansion in the end, then you say, your brother and I are still Is there a place to stand? Even if you are not kicked out, you will be killed." Yan said with red eyes, "That kid Ning Yuan looks harmless to humans and animals, but his heart is extremely vicious. Your third aunt and her The two sons and daughters of my father died one after another in just one year, all because of Ning Yuan making trouble behind the scenes. He is very capable at a young age. If he wants to get the title, he must deal with me and your brother, a helpless mother and son. , I'm afraid we don't even have the power to fight back, my dear daughter, maybe in two years, you won't be able to see your mother anymore, woo woo woo..."

"He dares!" Ning Rui'er stood up angrily. She had already learned about the "vicious" side of her concubine brother from Yan Shi's letter. She didn't want Yan Shi to tell her personally that this Ning Yuan was even more powerful than him. What was written in the letter was several times more vicious. It was really daring to toss one's own mother, the dignified aunt of the Ning Mansion, into such a state.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter will make the decision for you." Ning Ruier's eyes flashed a cold light, "Since he has the courage to come to Huajing, don't blame me for letting him come and go."

Ning Rui'er is definitely not a good person. Yan's daughter who was raised by herself is well aware that Ning Rui'er was able to get rid of the eldest son Ning Dian without anyone noticing. During the years in Huajing, she did not give birth to a son or a daughter for Han Tao, but she was able to control the commander of the imperial guards so strictly that she didn't even have a concubine, so she knew her tricks.

The celebration of Jiuyang Festival lasts for three days. The first day is the temple fair, also known as Xianqing. , various restaurants, restaurants and shops will also sell their products at a discount; the next day is the court meeting, the emperor will go out of the palace to have fun with the people, and then guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, he will go to the river to watch the dragon boat races of Duanyang Festival leaders from all over the country; The third day is a banquet. The emperor accepts the court congratulations from his courtiers in the palace, and at the same time will have a grand banquet for the courtiers.

On the day of the temple fair, Mrs. Shen packed up early in the morning and was ready to go. She was going to have morning tea at the most famous Tianxian Tower in Huajing, and then go to the Changchun Garden to listen to an opera in the afternoon. Originally, the Ning family would accompany her, but when she went out A few days ago, Ning Ruier suddenly found Ning Yuan and asked him to go to a tailor shop named Sancuitang to help Han Tao get a piece of clothing.

"Your brother-in-law's court clothes are a little damaged. I sent them to Sancui Hall to be mended by the master there a few days ago. I think it has been mended now. I want to accompany my parents and grandmother to take a good stroll in Huajing. Now that your brother-in-law is on errands and cannot find time, I am worried about handing it over to the servants, after all, the day after tomorrow is the day when His Majesty will have a banquet for the ministers, so I have to trouble you to make this trip, brother."

Ning Yuan looked at Ning Rui'er's smiling face, and said respectfully: "No trouble, I'll go."

Ning Rui'er originally thought that Ning Yuan would excuse her to refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree so simply, and at the same time secretly scolding a fool, the smile on her face became even wider, and she asked Ning Yuan to help Shen Shi got into the carriage, as if he had made up his mind to get back the face he lost yesterday in front of the old lady.

Ning Yuan stood at the gate of the mansion, watched the carriage disappear into the corner of the street with a cloud of smoke, stretched out his hand to beckon Zhou Shi to give some instructions, and then took the Bai sisters, but did not walk in the direction of the tailor shop that Ning Ruier had clearly mentioned. Instead, he picked a rather elegant tea house nearby and sat upstairs to drink tea.

About an hour later, an unpretentious carriage stopped under the teahouse, and then a nobleman jumped out of the carriage and ran upstairs in a hurry, Zhou Shi followed behind him step by step, as soon as the nobleman saw the window As for Ning Yuan who was sitting, his pretty face immediately turned into a flower with a smile, "Brother Ning, it's been a long time!"

Ning Yuan also stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Jing."

Ever since he made such an ugly face in front of Ning Mo last time, Jing Yi was overly frightened and almost scrambled back home, but when he got home, he thought about it carefully, and found that his original reaction was very rude, and he wanted to He went to apologize to Ning Yuan and "Ning Mo'er", but he couldn't help himself when he thought of his ugly appearance, and now Jing Guogong was watching him very closely, so he couldn't find a chance to escape. As the months passed, things were put on hold.

Now that it's the Nine Suns Festival, when he heard that Ning Yuan had come to Huajing, he immediately wanted to come out to meet people, but before he could make the trip, Zhou Shi took the initiative to find the mansion, saying that Ning Yuan invited him out for a gathering. Came here without thinking.

The two sat down and exchanged greetings for a while, and then drank another cup of tea before Ning Yuan said, "This time I invite Brother Jing to come over, one is to reminisce about the past, and the other is to ask you to do me a favor."

"As long as I can help, brother Ning, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Jing Yi didn't look out at all, Ning Yuan said, "Then please brother Jing, change clothes with me."

San Cui Tang is a relatively famous tailor shop in Huajing. The Nine Suns Festival is approaching, and the business here is also very good. The waiter is standing at the door of the shop to greet and send him off. Suddenly, he sees a young man in an ordinary blue gown. After entering the store, he said to him, "I'm here to get the court clothes for Lord Han, the commander of the imperial guards."

The waiter glanced at the plainly dressed Jing Yi, smiled unconsciously, turned around and went in, quickly took out a brocade box, and handed it to Jing Yi.

Jing Yi took the clothes and left without looking back. A carriage was parked at the place where the street was handed over. Jing Yi got into the carriage, handed the brocade box to Ning Yuan for no reason, and said, "Brother Ning, I'm so confused. , you asked me to help, just let me wear your clothes to get this thing?"

"Thank you for your hard work." Ning Yuan smiled and said nothing, and changed clothes with Jing Yi back in the car, without opening the brocade box, "Next, Brother Jing, please take me to the nearest brothel."

Jing Yi's eyes immediately turned into copper bells, "The brothel!? Brother Ning, you don't mean to..."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to do something, not what you think." Jing Yi's expression is really ridiculous, no wonder, Jing Yi has grown so big, except for being "released" by Ning Mo last time, he is still a You are a complete chick, although ordinary nobles have long been familiar with brothels, but Jing Guogong's family education is strict, even if Jing Yi has the thought of looking for flowers and willows, he does not have the courage to be bold.

Seeing Ning Yuan's calm face, it seemed that he really didn't want to have fun, Jing Yi shook his head, and led the way to a brothel he knew. Of course, to avoid suspicion, Jing Yi didn't get out of the car, but Ning Yuan took Zhou Shi went in alone, and stayed for half an hour before coming out. As soon as he got back to the car, Jing Yi pulled Ning Yuan up and down to check, and saw that his clothes hadn't taken off, and there were no strange stains around his neck. I felt relieved, but I still wondered: "What on earth did you ask me to bring you to the brothel? Could it be to see something new?"

"Let me keep it a secret first, you will always know." Ning Yuan just responded mysteriously with a smile, and the next itinerary of the two made Jing Yi even more confused. They went to the pharmacy first, and Ning Yuan After buying some medicine whose name even Jing Yi could not hear at all, and then even went to the market, Ning Yuan actually bought some alive and kicking eels.

At this point, this weird itinerary seemed to have come to an end. Ning Yuan handed over all the things he bought to Zhou Shi, and asked him to take them back first, and then dragged Jing Yi to start wandering around Huajing city. After getting up, the two of them first watched the juggling of folk artists on the busiest East Street for a while, sugar kneaders and windmills, and then went to the most famous restaurant to eat a table of special dishes. They didn't go back home until the evening.

On the return carriage, Ning Yuan picked up the brocade box that Jing Yi had brought again.

Jing Yi was still immersed in the delicious sweet and sour sea bass that was on the table just now, when he saw Ning Yuan picked up the box, he immediately aroused his curiosity again, and said, "It's just a court dress, Brother Ning, why are you If you want me to get it for you, is there any mystery here?"

"Of course there are mysteries, you will know soon." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he opened the lid of the brocade box and took out the court dress. As soon as he opened it, Jing Yi was dumbfounded and said anxiously: " How could this happen! Brother Ning, you believe me, this has nothing to do with me!"

"Of course I know that I have nothing to do with you, Brother Jing, but if I were to pick up this dress today, then I would be the one who has something to do with it." Ning Yuan shook the court clothes and let the people in the car You can clearly see that the eyes of the Bai sisters who are sitting on the side are all straight. On the front of the court dress, where there is a pattern of official ranks, someone cut a big hole with scissors!

Jing Yi is not stupid. He watched several scenes in the Ning Mansion, and immediately understood, "Is this a trick someone deliberately set for you? It is not a trivial matter to damage other people's court clothes. It is disrespectful to the court officials. If someone has a heart to pursue it, even if there is no major crime, going to prison and being punished will definitely be inevitable!"

Speaking of this, Jing Yi became anxious, and said to the Bai sisters: "You have needles and threads on your body, come and see if you can sew up this gap!"

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuan said indifferently: "There is no need for needle and thread, just get a pair of scissors."

Jing Yi was taken aback, "What do you want scissors for?"

"Since someone wants to frame me for destroying the imperial uniform of the commander of the imperial guards, I might as well go along with her. This kind of opening is really too petty, and it's not my style at all." Speaking of this, Ning Yuan smiled slightly, Bai Tan had already handed over a pair of scissors for this matter, and Ning Yuan didn't even blink his eyes, he picked up the dress neatly, and the scissors ripped open his stomach, completely splitting a magnificent and luxurious court dress into two pieces. cut.

"This... this..." Jing Yi stared at Ning Yuan dumbfounded, speechless in astonishment, and Ning Yuan's movements not only did not stop, but also became more and more agile. The whole dress was cut into a pile of rags, and then those rags were stuffed back into the brocade box, and the lid was closed.

"You...you are really crazy!" Jing Yi had a strange expression on his face, "I know Han Tao, the commander of the imperial guards, is a very tempered person. How could he let you go so easily if you made his court clothes like this?"

"Of course my brother-in-law won't let me go easily, but what if the object is changed to you, Prince Jing Guogong? Don't forget, this brocade box is the tooth you just gave me, Prince Jing." Ning Yuan said to Jing Yi blinked, "Whether I can pass this test today depends entirely on whether Brother Jing is willing to help me." After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and whispered such and such in Jing Yi's ear, After Jing Yi finished listening, he was relieved, looked at Ning Yuan with a look of "you are too bad", and shook his head, "Forget it, in fact, my father has long disliked that domineering and cold-blooded Han Tao, but he His majesty values ​​him because of his iron fist, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to kill him."

The speed of the carriage was not too fast and it didn't return to the Commander's Mansion until it was completely dark. Ning Yuan carried the brocade box into the main hall, but saw the whole family sitting here.

"I brought it back, because Yuan'er knew that she was late, so she brought this brocade box over immediately." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he took the brocade box in his hand.
