bastard returns

Then he bowed and sent the person out step by step.

When the young master heard that there was no movement outside, he sneered, "It's beyond self-control to try to snatch something from me."

Huyan Yuanchen frowned and said: "You are unscrupulous in Huajing, others should not provoke you because of your identity, but this is Jiangzhou, you have a saying that a strong dragon does not suppress a snake, if you are still the same as before With that kind of temperament, you will definitely suffer."

"You kid, don't pour cold water on me, so what if I suppress it, I don't pay attention to Cao Guichun, and with you as a master, it's possible that there are local snakes who can plot against this son." Your son raised an eyebrow. He stood up, thought about it, but didn't dare to be [-]% sure, he still grinned, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you have been to Jiangzhou a few times anyway, and you are more familiar with me, why don't you help me see Let's see who is asking for red ginseng outside, if they are really not easy to mess with, I will just walk around them next time."

"I'm here to enjoy the snow this time, not to help you as a guard. You should also figure out how to measure it." Hu Yanyuanchen put down his teacup, looked at the pleading face of your son, got up and walked to the door, The door curtain was raised a crack.

It's him again?The moment he saw Ning Yuan's profile, he froze.

At this moment, Ning Yuan had led Bai Tan Baimei out of the store slowly, and got into a carriage outside the door. Huyan Yuanchen's eyes fell on the carriage again, and a sense of teasing suddenly surged in his heart. He put down the curtain and turned back. When he got to the table, he didn't speak, just drank tea.

"Can you see who it is?" Your young master looked anxious.

Huyan Yuanchen turned his face sideways, looked at the noble young master with a little compassion, shook his head and said: "You are self-inflicted, and I don't think you can give this red ginseng away, so take it back to Huajing and eat it yourself."

The young master was taken aback, "How do you say that?"

"The people outside who want this red ginseng are people from Wu'anbo Mansion." Huyan Yuanchen spread his hands, "I think the man outside should be the young master of Ning Mansion. Wealthy and magnanimous humiliated others. The children of your aristocratic families like to drink tea and chatter when they have nothing to do. If your Miss Mo'er finds out about this, and you send the red ginseng over there, it doesn't mean telling her that I am the one. The bastard who humiliated a certain brother or brother of yours, do you think she will look at you from now on?"

Hearing the words "Wu'anbo Mansion", your son's face turned red and then white. When Huyan Yuanchen finished speaking, your son's handsome face turned into a bitter gourd. He pointed at Huyan Yuanchen's tall nose Cursed: "Damn it, why didn't you stop me just now!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the red ginseng with his left hand and the corner of his clothes with his right, and rushed out like a gust of wind, chasing after Ning Yuan who had already walked a distance The back of the carriage screamed wildly: "Brother, please stay! Brother, please stay! Brother... Ouch!" Because of running too fast, a dog ate shit and fell into the snow, and the jade crown with hair tied crookedly hung on On one side, it is full of descriptions of disheveled hair.

Fortunately, Huang Tian paid off, he made such a big commotion, the carriage finally stopped wobbly.

Zhou Shi, who was driving the car, only thought he had encountered a beggar who was about to stop the car for begging. He jumped down and wanted to send him away, but the "beggar" rushed down the mountain with a fierce tiger, grabbed Zhou Shi's shoulder and shook violently, "Your family!" Where's the master? I have an urgent matter with your master!"

Zhou Shi couldn't care about these things, seeing that noble young master's hair was disheveled, he thought he had really met a lunatic, and with a backhand he just learned to grab, he pinned the man in front of him to the ground.

The poor nobleman has been pampered and pampered since he was a child. Even if he learned kung fu, it is still a simple way to embroider his legs. Where is the opponent of Zhou Shi, who is five big and three thick? He was just pressed to the ground, and he cried out because of the pain: "Oh my god! I am Here to deliver things! Take it easy! Take it easy!"

"Zhou Shi, what are you doing, let him go." Ning Yuan also got out of the car, and even though he didn't understand what happened, he hurriedly called Zhou Shi.

Only then did Zhou Shi let go of his hand, and retreated to stand behind Ning Yuan.The young master flopped on the ground a few times, got up in a mess, panted and patted the snow on his body, and didn't care about arranging his hair. He fixed his eyes on Ning Yuan, clasped his fists in both hands, and made a big bow, " This brother, Xia Jingyi, is polite here."

"Jing Yi?" Ning Yuan saw the noble young master's face clearly, and suddenly his expression froze, his mouth opened, but he didn't speak.

He recognized Jing Yi.In the previous life, the son of Jing Guogong was regarded as a serious threat by Sikong Xu because he was on the side of the sixth prince Sikongxuan. Random arrows shot dead.

Calculating the time, it will only be four or five years later, so now seeing Jing Yi's expression, which is alive and well despite his embarrassment, Ning Yuan can't help but sigh and soften his tone, "Young Master Jing, there is something wrong. ?”

"Here, haha..." Jing Yi laughed dryly, "To tell the truth, I was the one who snatched that red ginseng from my brother in the pharmacy just now."

"Oh." Ning Yuan nodded clearly. In the previous life, Jing Yi had the temper of a nobleman, but now that he knew it was him, Ning Yuan was not surprised.

It's just that Ning Yuan was so calm, in Jing Yi's eyes, he was just angry, and he panicked for a moment, and simply handed out the brocade box containing the red ginseng in a hurry, "This, this, please accept it, brother."

Ning Yuan wondered, "Mr. Jing, what's the reason?"

"Brother, don't be angry. Just now I was in the pharmacy because I didn't know Mount Tai. Now I come out to see you. My brother is as magnificent as the clouds on the top of a mountain. I admire you very much. If you want this red ginseng brother, you can take it." Go, I just want to make friends with Xiongtai, and I hope Xiongtai will not dislike you."

What he said was sincere, as if it was true, Ning Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the red ginseng plant, but instead of picking it up, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Mr. Jing, I like people who tell the truth." .”

Are you kidding me, admiration?Not to mention anything else, Ning Yuan only went out today in plain robes as usual, and the material is also ordinary, and there are a lot of people dressed like this on the street.Ning Yuan naturally knew that there would be no pies in the sky, this red ginseng Jing Yi had been snatched so much just now, but now he wanted to give it to him, and Ning Yuan would not believe it if there were no moths in it.

After a lot of flattery, but hit a soft nail, Jing Yi couldn't help his face froze, the red ginseng was either given away or returned, he was stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth, and forced a dry smile, " Xiongtai's words are really straightforward, so I don't want to be a fool, I see that Xiongtai should be from the Wu'anbo mansion, but I don't know which young master from the mansion?"

"My son is the third young master of Ningfu." Bai Tan replied crisply.

Jing Yi's brows were filled with joy, if he really was the young master of Ning Mansion, then the matter would be easy to handle.

He coughed twice, but before he could make a sound, two red clouds flew up on his fair cheeks, "To tell you the truth, brother, in fact... that's what happened, I am very sorry for Ning Mo'er, the second lady of your house Aimu, since the farewell to Huajing two years ago, I have not thought about eating or drinking, if... if brother is free, I hope that brother can speak a few words of kindness for me in front of Miss Mo'er, I will be very grateful." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Yuan pitifully, but what he saw was a strange expression on Ning Yuan's face.

The second lady, Ning Mo'er, Ning Yuan thought for a while before he remembered that there was indeed such a young lady in the mansion, she was the only daughter of the second wife Zhao, and because she seldom went out, Ning Yuan had never seen her a few times. Thinking about it, I couldn't even remember what her face looked like.

But this is not what Ning Yuan finds strange. He clearly remembers that in the last life, the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Wanyi, was married back by the red makeup of Jingyi Shili, and when did he get involved with his second sister again.

"You..." Ning Yuan dragged out a long sound, hanging Jing Yi's heart high, but soon, the stone in his heart fell again, because Ning Yuan stretched out his hand and let Bai Tan take the red branch. ginseng.

"I know about you, but if you really like Second Sister, it's reasonable to invite a matchmaker to come and propose marriage." Ning Yuan said.

Nonsense, of course I know, but to propose a marriage, you have to get rid of that stubborn old man in the family first.Jing Yi secretly said, but his face was full of surprises, "That's natural, that's natural, I don't know what to call Xiongtai, but now that I have made a friend as Xiongtai, I can visit him someday."

"Ning Yuan." Ning Yuan lightly dropped his name and got back into the carriage. Zhou Shi was like a horsewhip, and the carriage ran away.

Jing Yi patted his chest, apparently heaved a sigh of relief, before he had time to straighten the crooked hair crown on his head, but Huyan Yuanchen, who was hiding not far away, frowned slightly.

Ning Yuan?Why did he feel as if he had heard this name somewhere?

012 beat back

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu'anbo Mansion was full of joy.

Early in the morning, Rue Xiang took someone to the housekeeper to get the New Year's items. Thanks to Shen, this time Ning Yuan has all the items. Compared with the previous years, which were only one or two buckets of rice, it was even worse. Don't.

The servants of the Zhuxuan Hall were busy preparing for it, and Ning Yuan was not idle. In the Shou'an Hall, the juniors gathered together to congratulate the elders. Naturally, the elders also gave gifts for the year, and the Shen family was the most kind. The young masters each received a piece of gold inlaid with jade, and the young ladies each received a gold-plated lock; the eldest lady Yan prepared an auspicious knot strung together with copper coins, saying that she invited the eminent monk of Lingxu Temple on Yuling Mountain outside the city to open it. Light, bless the juniors with good health in the coming year; the second wife, Zhao, still did not show up because of the cold, and only sent a plate of silver from the maid next to her, ten taels per person. As for the third wife, Mrs. Liu, she brought a large box of cloth with her.

"I thought that now that it's the end of the year, the whole family will have to make new clothes. It just so happened that my natal family bought a big cloth shop a few days ago and sent me a lot of good materials. I borrowed flowers to present to Buddha as a festival gift." It's done." After finishing speaking, he first took out a piece of brocade with gold and carved flowers from the box, "This pattern of gold and carved flowers was repaired by ten embroiderers for a full month, and the color is also dignified and noble. It is perfect for cutting spring clothes for the old lady."

Mother Luo quickly took it and handed it to Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen wiped the smooth surface, nodded and smiled, "The third daughter-in-law is interested."

"This black bamboo spring shirt and satin is the most favorite material of Huajing civil servants nowadays, and it is for Zhan'er."

"This peach blossom is for Mo'er."

"There are also thousands of sparrow weaving, rendering and dyeing..." Several ladies got the fabrics from Mrs. Liu one after another. Most of them were similar, they were some expensive materials with outstanding colors and styles. Naturally, Ning Xiang and Ning Ping'er also got them. , but compared with the other sisters, the two of them look a little worse, and it is also Liu's intention to show his virtuousness in order not to favor one another.

Ning Xiang's left hand was wrapped in a thick bandage and hung in front of his chest. He was severely crushed by the horse. The doctor who heard the diagnosis said that the bones in his left hand were broken in several pieces, and he didn't know how long it would take to heal. Fortunately, the injury was also on the left hand. If the injury was on the right hand and he couldn't hold a pen to write, he wouldn't have to go to the triennial township examination in a few months.

Ning Yuan originally thought that Mrs. Liu would make a big fuss with him when she saw Ning Xiang's appearance, but he waited all night, but the other party was quiet. Didn't explain the whole story to Liu Shi?

In fact, it's not that Ning Xiang didn't say anything, but that Ning Xiang himself didn't know the situation at that time. Of course, he would not have thought that Ning Yuan had martial arts, but it was the same as what Ning Ruhai knew, because of a certain insider who was hiding next to him. The bowl thrown by the master of the family made him unlucky. Not only did he not take the opportunity to send Ning Yuan to the west, but instead got his own arm.

"Okay, this last one is for Yuan'er. Seeing that you always dress so simply, Auntie wants to leave some good things for you." Finally, Mrs. Liu took out a snow-white and delicate silk and satin, "Yuan'er, Aunt Liu knows that you have been wronged because of Xia Zhu's incident a few days ago. Don't blame Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu is just a little impatient, but it's for the good of you juniors. After working hard, I just I'm afraid you're going the wrong way." While speaking, he pretended to choke up a few times.

"Aunt Liu, you are serious, how could Yuan'er blame you." Ning Yuan took the piece of fabric, but his hands felt cold. He took a closer look and found that it was a piece of snow satin.

"Third brother is really lucky. This is Xuedu. Mother is really biased and left the best thing to you." Ning Pinger said jealously beside her, her voice was neither loud nor soft, but Just enough for everyone in the room to hear.

A cold light flashed across Ning Yuan's eyes, this Liu Shi really didn't want to trip him up all the time.

Snow satin actually has another name, called Qianzhang brocade, which means that the time it takes to weave one piece of snow satin is enough to weave a thousand pieces of other brocade, not for anything else, but for the raw material of snow satin, snow silk, which is not only rare, but also extremely thin , hundreds of times thinner than ordinary silk thread, even if the most nimble weaver weaves in front of the loom for a day, it is only half an inch.However, because of the thinness of the silk thread, the silk and satin weaved in the end can be smooth and delicate. The clothes made of this kind of fabric are impermeable to water, and the stains fall off as soon as they are touched. .

Such a piece of fabric can not only be described as expensive, it is a standard rare item, it is not common even in the imperial palace, and it is much better than the old lady's piece of carved cloud brocade, Liu's can get one, and give it away Giving him this bastard, isn't it obvious that everyone will have a bad opinion of him?

If Ning Yuan accepts it, as he is, he will definitely attract the envy of all the present present who are inferior to his brothers and sisters, and even the old lady will not like it, and become the target of public criticism; but if he does not accept it, it is equivalent to slapping Liu Shi in the face No matter how you say it, Mrs. Liu is an elder. For this, according to family law, he should kneel in the ancestral hall.

Looking at Ning Yuan's troubled face, Liu sneered in her heart. He didn't really have such good intentions to give Ning Yuan such a good fabric. Otherwise, the old lady will be blamed. The old lady is Ning Yuan's only backer, and Ning Yuan will never dare to offend her.This is also the reason why Mrs. Liu wanted to give a piece of cloth to Mrs. Shen when it was clearly a new year gift for the younger generation.

As long as Ning Yuan doesn't accept Liu's things, she can be killed. If Ning Yuan doesn't give her this aunt's face, Ning Ruhai will come over soon. At that time, she only needs to cry in front of Ning Ruhai for a while, Even with the protection of the old lady, she doesn't have to worry about stripping Ning Yuan of her skin.

The snow satin surface was as white as jade, shining like a mirror, reflecting Liu's proud face. Liu was full of plans, and she saw Ning Yuan handing the cloth forward, and bowed down, "Aunt Liu..."

"Yuan'er, why are you unwilling to accept Auntie's things, but you are still angry with Auntie, unwilling to forgive Auntie..."

"Yuan'er thanks Aunt Liu for your concern, Yuan'er likes this fabric very much."

Liu Shiben had already taken out his brocade handkerchief, and wiped the corners of his eyes as if he was about to cry, but when he heard Ning Yuan's words clearly, not only did the lines he had thought up for a long time get stuck in his throat, but the expression he had been brewing for a long time Also instantly crooked, "You... what did you say?"

"I said Yuan'er likes this fabric very much, thank you Aunt Liu." Ning Yuan sent his hand forward with a smile on his face, and the snow satin twirled under Liu's eyelids, but it was transferred to Bai Tan's hand, "It's so good Yuan'er must keep the cloth well, and will not disappoint Aunt Liu's wishes."

"Uh, you... as long as you like it..." Liu stared dumbfounded at the fact that Ning Yuan actually took the fabric, and his heart hurt like a knife, and he was bleeding.

That's snow satin!It was her natal family who spent several thousand taels of silver and tried their best to ask others to get one. The purpose was to make Ning Ping'er a decent dress so that she could live in Jiangzhou City in Kaichun. At the banquet held in the royal palace outside, if she could be favored by some noble and noble son, marry him as the main family, and get her name on the gold list when Ningxiang was in the autumn, then her third wife, the Liu family, would be here in Ningxiang. The mansion was completely exhaled and raised eyebrows.

How dare Ning Yuan, no, how dare he really take it over!

Not only Liu Shi, Ning Ping'er also gritted her silver teeth when she saw this scene, it should have been her clothing material!

"Third brother is really lucky." Ning Ping'er gritted her teeth and said: "With that snow satin, the sum of all of us is less than half of yours."

My advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. Since you are shameless, I will let everyone take a look. Is a bastard from a lowly background worthy of such a good thing!

However, Ning Yuan said with a strange expression: "Sister Ping'er, you have made a mistake. Although the snow satin is expensive, it is also divided into grades. If this snow satin is really as good as you say, I will be a millionaire." Wan also dare not accept it.”

Both Liu Shi and Ning Ping'er were taken aback. Even those who had listened to Ning Ping'er's words and cast a lot of jealous eyes on Ning Yuan before, most of them turned into curiosity. I don't know why Ning Yuan would say that.

Mrs. Liu said anxiously: "Yuan'er, what do you mean by that? Could it be that what your aunt gave you was not snow satin?"

"Yuan'er didn't say that." Ning Yuan blinked, "Actually, when it comes to the kung fu of tasting fabrics, I think no one sitting here can match my grandmother, so I asked my grandmother to take a closer look, and she should be able to understand Yuan'er. That's what I meant." After that, Ning Yuan made a gesture to Bai Tan, and Bai Tan stepped forward with the snow satin, and respectfully handed it to Shen Shi.

Although Shen came from a family, her research on fabrics is general. She didn't know why Ning Yuan would suddenly put a tall hat on her head, but she was not sensitive to this kind of hat of high esteem, so she took a closer look. Seeing this, she really saw the doorway. She wiped the edge of the fabric with her hand and rubbed her fingers again, only to feel that something slippery was stuck on it. When she smelled it, she immediately recognized it. , "Is this pine wax?" Then his face sank, "This is not pure snow satin."

"I knew that grandma had the best eyesight." Ning Yuan said with a smile: "Pure snow satin is woven from pure snow silk. Snow satin is mixed with snow silk and ordinary mulberry silk, and then covered with a layer of pine wax, it can also be as delicate and lustrous as pure snow satin."

Following Ning Yuan's words, the eyes that were originally looking at him gradually shifted to Liu Shi, and most of them were contemptuous, why?Because pure snow satin is indeed priceless, the grade of snow satin that can be woven with mulberry silk has dropped a lot from the quality of the raw material, and the weaving effort is similar to that of ordinary cloth. The snow satin is exactly the same, but it does not have the characteristics of "water-soaked and stain-proof" snow satin, and as long as it is washed in water and the layer of pine wax is removed, the luster and luster will disappear instantly, and it will return to ordinary white cloth.

This kind of snow satin has a unique name called "Imperial Snow Satin". It is not for the imperial use, but for some poor students who want to attend some dignitaries' gatherings, don't want to look too shabby, and don't want to swell their faces to make up for it. Fat people, most of them will buy this kind of "disposable snow satin" to make clothes. Not only is it cheap, but also the effect is amazing. A homonym, called this cloth "imperial snow satin".

If the piece of fabric in Ning Yuan's hand is "Imperial Grade", then it is meaningless. It is a well-known fact that Imperial Grade snow satin is cheap. No matter who gets the fabric, it can be exchanged for Ning Yuan's. several horses.

Liu's face turned pale for a while, "How is that possible, that is obviously a serious snow satin!" But as soon as she said the words, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into a pit.

The one who said that the horse was not pure snow satin was not Ning Yuan, but Shen Shi. If she refuted it, wouldn't it be the same as playing against Shen Shi?

Sure enough, Shen said in a calm voice: "Third daughter-in-law, do you mean that my old eyesight is wrong, or that you really bought a snow satin that is hard to find and want to give it to Yuan'er?"

The irony of Shen's words is quite obvious. According to Ning Yuan's identity, it would be very unreasonable for Liu to use a pure snow satin as a gift for that year's festival; on the contrary, if Liu's gift is " "Imperial Snow Satin", but it would be much more reasonable. Ever since what happened to Xia Zhu last time, Shen somewhat knew that Liu was targeting Ning Yuan, so this time, she almost immediately determined that the one sent by Liu must be " Royal product" no doubt.

Who made the price of the imperial product so low? In Shen's eyes, Liu's sending such a thing made it clear that he wanted to embarrass Ning Yuan.

Liu Shi completely smashed her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach.

Saying that it is pure snow satin is tantamount to questioning Shen's opinion.

She said that it was an imperial product, and she gave away expensive materials from everyone, but Ning Yuan was a cheap product that was not up to the grade, which was tantamount to labeling herself as a small belly.

Unable to tell, even she herself began to suspect, could it be that her natal family was perfunctory to her, and what she sent was not genuine snow satin?But she clearly remembered that there was no pine wax on the fabric, why did the old lady take a look at it, but there was pine wax?

She couldn't figure it out, she had experienced the situation that Ning Yuan was unable to advance or retreat just now, the only difference was - she was lifting a rock to shoot herself in the foot.

"What's so lively?" A man's honest voice suddenly came from outside the door. Ning Ruhai stepped in in a navy blue uniform. Sit down.

"Master... I am so wronged..." Seeing Ning Ruhai, as if seeing a savior, Liu changed into a lovely and pitiful expression in the blink of an eye.

"Old madam, what's the matter." Seeing Liu Shi's appearance, Ning Ruhai couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.

"It's not all the good deeds of your third wife, look at this." Shen groaned softly, and pushed the piece of cloth to Ning Ruhai.

Ning Ruhai is good at riding and archery in poetry and books, but he doesn't understand these silks and satins. Mother Luo stepped forward and told him the whole story. He nodded and said to Shen Shi: "Old lady, I think Yier She didn't mean it either, maybe she was deceived, you just treat her as young and ignorant, why bother to be as knowledgeable as her."

Liu's family is over thirty years old, but Ning Ruhai forcibly put the words "young and ignorant", and she is not afraid that it will make people laugh.

"Do you think I'm willing to care about it?" Chen was obviously very dissatisfied with his son's favoritism, "I'm complaining for my grandson. If it is publicized, others may not know how it will be laughed at.”

"Grandmother, in fact, Yuan'er doesn't care about these things. Courtesy is light and affection is heavy. No matter what the elders give Yuan'er, it is precious in Yuan'er's eyes. Yuan'er's intention of presenting this piece of cloth to grandma is not to provoke grandma. Worrying." Ning Yuan bowed down and knelt down, "If you upset grandma because of Yuan'er's affairs, Yuan'er is not filial."

"Good boy, get up quickly, grandma knows you are filial." Seeing that Ning Yuan is so sensible and polite, and he is also very diligent every morning and evening, Chen thinks that Liu's son Ning Xiang has a loose personality, far less than Ning Yuan Half of it was calm and prudent, with a little more love and affection, "Mother Luo, quickly help the young master up, and take this brocade with carved flowers along the way. I am not suitable for such delicate and beautiful flowers at my age. My son also has a younger sister, so let’s give it to him as well.”

The things sent up were rewarded by others, Shen slapped Liu slap hard, Liu saw that several aunts were already looking at him and laughing to himself, but Ning Ruhai did not protect himself as usual, Liu Shi Qi and blood rushed to his forehead and almost passed out.

Ning Ruhai didn't pay attention to her, just because he was looking at Ning Yuan.

If it hadn't been for Luo's mother to mention it, he would hardly recognize his son. He usually takes Ning Xiang with him the most and values ​​him the most. The memory of Ning Yuan still stays five or six years ago. Behind, the timid little boy.

Thinking of Tang Corporation, he closed his tiger eyes, then immediately opened them again, thinking about what that woman was doing.

"Grandmother, since the snow satin is not a good thing, I think the third brother will not like it, why don't my granddaughter get it back for my mother, and let my mother send a decent gift to the third brother someday?" Ning Ping'er Gritting her teeth, she still bent her knees, she couldn't tolerate that snow satin falling into Ning Yuan's hands just like that.

Ning Yuan had expected that Ning Pinger would say such a thing, how could she be satisfied, and immediately said: "My sister's words are wrong, I never meant to disdain Aunt Liu's courtesy, it's just my sister, you just said The fabric is expensive, third brother didn't want everyone to think that Aunt Liu is biased, so he just distinguished a few words, but now you want to go back, you are embarrassing third brother me."

"That's right, the water that was thrown out of the things sent out, because I lost face, I wanted to go back, how can there be such a reason." Shen nodded, but said: "But Yuan'er, you take back this kind of fabric. Even if clothes are made, they are only worn once, which is disgraceful, but of no great use."

"Grandmother doesn't know, but my grandson is short of such fabrics." Ning Yuan smiled slightly, "Baimei, the girl in my grandson's yard, had a dog named Rhubarb a few days ago. I made a dress for it, but I couldn't find a suitable fabric for a while, but this snow satin is just right, anyway, the clothes for the dog don't need to be washed, if Rhubarb wears this material, it will definitely look decent and bright."

Ning Ping'er staggered two steps, and with a stab, she tore the brocade handkerchief in her hand in two.The snow satin was originally intended to make clothes for her, but now Ning Yuan said it was meant to be worn by dogs. Isn't this pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, calling her Ning Ping'er a beast!

013 Tit for Tat

"Mother, this is the newly made pine resin that Bai Tan bought from Wanbaozhai. It is paired with osmanthus oil. It is perfect for combing hair." Ning Yuan used a small cup to adjust the hair oil that exudes the fragrance of osmanthus, and carefully used the wood The comb is Tang's comb.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Tang's cheeks were rosy and shiny. Her complexion improved a lot, and most of her haggard look disappeared. Ning Yuan never thought that the red ginseng was so effective. It was just some ginseng plus warming. The medicinal materials have eliminated part of the cold poison. I believe that Tang's body can fully recover after taking the medicine two or three times.

Ning Yuan carefully combed Tang's black hair neatly, and put a nice bun on her hair. Tang looked around in the mirror and said with relief, "I don't know when you, kid, learned to comb other people's hair." bun."

"Today I have to ask my mother for forgiveness." Ning Yuan said with a smile: "Originally there was a full bottle of turpentine, but something happened in the morning and most of it was ruined. I'm afraid it won't be used a few times."

Tang asked: "What happened to spoil the pine resin?"

"It's just that I met a few rats stealing oil, and they've already been beaten to death with sticks." Ning Yuan didn't want to tell Tang about those things, lest she be overwhelmed.

Although Tang was puzzled, she saw that Ning Yuan didn't intend to tell her clearly, so she wisely didn't ask again.

Ning Yuan touched the empty turpentine bottle in his sleeve robe. It really shouldn't be said that he was too lucky or Liu's was too unlucky.The turpentine that Ning Yuan carried on his body today and was going to give to the Tang family could become the key to his counterattack against the Liu family.

In the Shou'an Hall before, when Ning Yuan realized what was going on in Liu's heart, he made a decisive decision. While taking the cloth from Liu's hand, he used his sleeve robe to block it, and quickly put his hands stained with turpentine on the cloth. Wrapped it around, and then specially invited Mrs. Shen to check the fabric.

In fact, both mulberry silk and snow silk are extremely fine in texture. If the woven cloth is not carefully inspected by an expert who is well versed in this field, it is difficult to distinguish pure snow satin from imperial snow satin on the grain. Not to mention Shen Shi who is not proficient in this kind of stuff, but Ning Yuan threw the top hat at her, and for the sake of his own face, Shen Shi only saw the turpentine on the cloth, so he insisted on it as Ning Yuan expected. , Snow satin is not a pure product.

Thinking of Liu's expression when he left Shou'an Hall early with an excuse at the end, Ning Yuan felt relieved.

"Yuan'er, although my mother doesn't come out of Xianglian courtyard very much, there are some things that my mother has eyes and can see by herself. The two girls who came to serve me suddenly, the silver taels of medicinal materials you brought over, and the silver taels you brought to Xin today. The piece of cloth that my son bought is probably not easy to come by, but in fact, mother doesn't value these external things at all, all mother wants is for you and Xin'er to be safe." Tang sighed softly, and looked at Ning Yuan with worried eyes.

Ning Yuan smiled and said: "Mom, you think too much. We deserve these things. I assure you, as long as there is a baby here, from now on, no one will be able to take away what we deserve. .”

Ning Xin'er also agreed, and wrapped herself on the bed with the brocade with carved flowers that Shen Shi had rewarded, "Brother, look at me!"

"Xin'er is the most beautiful. If she is older, she will definitely be the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou City." Ning Yuan pinched Ning Xin'er's face playfully, watching her sister screaming and rolling all over the bed, she felt rare The ground warmed up. Although the room was cold and small, it was the only place in the world where he could feel at ease.

"Master." The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and Zhou Shi came in to interrupt the warm scene, "Master, outside..."

Ning Yuan turned his head, "What happened outside?"

Zhou Shi didn't seem to know how to speak, his face showed embarrassment, and he thought for a while before he said, "The butler came to send a message, saying that the master wants to see you and let you go to the study."

Tang's originally smiling face suddenly became stiff, and the corners of Ning Yuan's mouth gradually turned cold.

The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees. Only Ning Xin'er was still rolling on the bed innocently. Tang quickly took the cloth from her hand, comforted her to lie down, and pretended to take care of her for an afternoon nap. Flawless Guessing what it looked like elsewhere, Ning Yuan stood up and flicked his sleeves, "Got it." He said, "You bring Bai Tan and the others here to help mother clean up the New Year's affairs. I'll just go and see you alone."

As the owner of the Ning Mansion, Ning Ruhai lives in the most spacious East Chamber. Because he was born as a civil servant, the study room is also well-built. The three-storey small building rises on the ground. The plaque at the door that reads "Words Contain the Way" was written by Ning Ruhai himself. The book.

Ning Yuan pushed open the door of the study, and saw Ning Ruhai standing behind the rosewood table, practicing calligraphy.Hearing rustling footsteps from far to near, Ning Ruhai did not raise his head, but said: "You are late."

"Accompanying my mother to take care of my sister for an afternoon nap, so I came late." Ning Yuan's tone was neither humble nor uttered a word, neither using honorific words nor apologizing for being late.

Ning Ruhai frowned, and finally straightened up.

It was the second time in a day that he took a close look at his son.

A 13-year-old boy, whose bones have not grown yet, already has a solemnity and composure rarely seen in adults, and he looks at his father without hesitation, the emotion in his eyes makes Ning Ruhai dislike In other words, there is no emotion in those dark eyes.

Unexpectedly, Ning Ruhai was not angry, but bent down again and picked up the pen again, "Are you from Xianglian Academy?"

"Yes."

"If you have nothing to do, don't always run to the woman's back house. You don't have to let people see the joke, saying that I, the son of the Ning family, can't live without my mother's milk baby."

"It turns out that other people will pay attention to where the child has gone. This is the negligence of the child." Ning Yuan said: "But the kings of heaven and earth, all good and filial piety are the first, and my mother naturally has to be taken care of by me. After all She doesn't have another person worthy of entrustment in this Ning Mansion."

Ning Ruhai paused for a while, and with his fingers, he almost pinched a priceless Langhao brush.

Tang is Ning Ruhai's concubine, his wife follows her husband, and it should be Ning Ruhai's job to take care of the inner room, but Ning Yuan said in front of him that Tang has no second person worthy of entrustment. Is it when he, the head of the family, does not exist!

"Do you know that what you said just now is enough to kneel in the ancestral hall?" Ning Ruhai put down his pen, his tone suddenly became cold, "Speaking to father in such a tone, my Ning family is not as uneducated as you Master."

"Father is right, other things, Yuan'er may know
