Heartthrobs can't be unlucky all the time

The day before New Year's Eve, Ning Mansion had guests.

This guest did not come alone, he brought a large group of people.

A total of two carriages and several ox carts were parked in front of the gate of the Ning Mansion, and all kinds of things were piled up on them.

A man and a woman came out of the carriage. They seemed to be father and daughter. The man was about 45 years old, with a long beard and a dignified face.

The girl's face was very clear and beautiful, and she was wearing a water-green long skirt and a white rabbit fur coat, making her petite and cute.

It was Shen Jintang and his daughter Shen Ruyan who came.

But when they arrived, neither Ning Ting nor Ning Yu was at the house.It was the housekeeper who quickly sent someone to invite them back.

When Ning Ting and Ning Yu returned to the hall of the Ning Mansion and saw their uncle Shen Jintang sitting in the living room drinking tea, the two of them couldn't help but went to salute Shen Jintang very respectfully.

Shen Jintang stroked his beard and waved his hands to them, expressing that such politeness was unnecessary.

Ning Ting and Ning Yu greeted Shen Jintang respectively, and then noticed Shen Ruyan who was sitting on the side.

This petite girl sweetly called them "Cousin Ting" and "Cousin Yu", and Ning Ting and Ning Yu returned gentle and polite smiles.

Shen Jintang took the letter Ning Ting wrote to him last month, and Ning Ting also quickly explained the current plight of the Ning family to his uncle.

"Uncle, in the past half a month, almost only the Ning family's shops in Feiyang City are still operating. Although someone helped me persuade several silk thread workshops to continue to provide raw materials for the Ning family, they can't support all the Ning family's shops. The store, Zhu's side, seeing Master Zhu's appearance, he will not let go easily, and the nephew will ask uncle for help when he really has no other way."

"Ting'er, I heard about your shop on the way here, and it seems quite tricky. However, I want to know, what is the reason for the conflict with Zhu's family? Then Master Zhu is not always Are you on good terms with your father?"

"Uncle, because...Master Zhu wants me to marry his daughter, but I don't want to."

"Oh……"

Shen Jintang immediately understood that his nephew was good at everything, but his temper was too stubborn, just like his stubborn sister.

"That's why Master Zhu is angry, so he treats the Ning family like this."

"Yes uncle."

"I've also heard your father say this about Mr. Zhu before, saying that he promises everything he says, and the spittle he spits out is a nail, and he will never change it. So, did he personally give orders for the Ning family?"

"This...Uncle, Master Zhu personally ordered it."

Ning Ting looked at Shen Jintang with some embarrassment, so it was really difficult for Master Zhu to change his words easily.

Shen Jintang shook his head and sighed.

"Ting'er, you, why don't you know to promise him first, and then you can just pretend to be a snake."

Ning Ting didn't answer, he was still too young to be so tactful.

"Then there is no silk thread workshop in Huizhou to provide you with raw materials, what should we do?"

Shen Jintang was thinking about the solution, the whole hall was very quiet, no one dared to disturb Shen Jintang's thinking.

"It seems that we have to find that person first."

Shen Jintang murmured, as if thinking of someone.

He told Ning Ting to prepare his luggage, and after a night's rest, he would set off with him to visit someone in Feiyun City tomorrow morning.

Ning Ting complied, and immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals and rooms, so that uncle and cousin could have a good rest today.

Because of Shen Jintang's arrival, Ning Ting and Ning Yu were both very happy. One was because the Ning family's business was finally saved, and the other was because his elder brother was finally freed from having to bear everything for the Ning family.

At the dinner table, Shen Jintang and Ning Ting were discussing big and small matters, while Ning Yu sat quietly and listened.

Shen Jintang's attitude towards Ning Yu is quite kind, he knows that Ning Ting attaches great importance to this younger brother, and his attitude towards Ning Yu is very good, in fact, he also has a little love for his family.

Shen Ruyan interrupted from time to time when Shen Jintang and Ning Ting were talking, but she always caught the moment and said something decently, making the table always full of laughter and a warm atmosphere.

Ning Yu looked at Shen Ruyan staring at his brother with burning eyes, and felt a little weird in his heart, but he quickly ignored that his considerate cousin was still picking up food for him.

"Thank you, Cousin Ruyan."

"Cousin Yu, you are so thin, eat more meat."

Ning Yu looked at a piece of greasy fat in the bowl, and stopped his chopsticks in embarrassment.

He never eats fat.

But it was his cousin Ruyan who picked it up for him, and now it's very embarrassing to put it out, Ning Yu looked at his cousin with a smirk, thinking about how to bite the bullet and put this piece of fat in his mouth.

Just when Ning Yu was about to pick up this piece of meat, a pair of chopsticks stretched out, put in a piece of lean meat, and picked up the piece of fat meat by the way.

Ning Ting's movements were very natural. He put the piece of fat into an empty bowl, saying that it was not suitable to eat because a hair was stuck on it.

Ning Yu looked at Ning Ting gratefully, and Ning Ting also gave him a comforting smile.

Shen Ruyan, who was opposite the two of them, had been watching the exchange between the two of them, and the sweet smile on his face faded a little.

However, when Ning Yu took the initiative to grab a piece of tender fish for Shen Ruyan, Shen Ruyan narrowed her eyes again with a smile, and called "Brother Yu" to thank Ning Yu charmingly.

Ning Yu also smiled and shook his head, expressing his impoliteness.

The meal didn't take long, because Shen Jintang and Ning Ting had to go on their way the next day, so they drank a little wine and prepared to go back to their room to rest.

Shen Ruyan and Ning Yu didn't have to go with them. After dinner, Ning Ting came to Ning Yu's room and told him that going to Feiyun City would take a day and a night at the fastest, so he couldn't accompany Ning Yu on New Year's Eve.

"Brother, don't worry about me. We still have many New Year's Eves to spend together."

"Ayu is always so considerate."

"Then you will stay at the house with Cousin Ruyan for the next few days, take care of yourself."

"I know my brother."

Before dawn the next day, Shen Jintang and Ning Ting rode on the road. When Ning Yu sent them away, Shen Jintang also took the initiative to say a few words to him, nothing more than to let Ning Yu and Shen Ruyan get along well and be more tolerant His wayward daughter or something.

Ning Yu also praised Cousin Ruyan for her innocence and cuteness, and she would definitely take good care of her.

Shen Jintang patted Ning Yu's shoulder, and then left with Ning Ting in peace.

Today is New Year's Eve. People on the street have been busy since the morning. Their faces are full of happiness.

Zhu Yi also came over early in the morning to invite Ning Yu to go out, but Ning Yu was embarrassed to say that he might not be able to go out alone today.

"why?"

"We have guests at our house."

"Guest? What kind of guest? Why don't you invite him together?"

"She's not awake yet."

"Uh, why are the guests so expensive, and they still don't wake up after the sun has risen."

"It's my cousin."

"Cousin? Oh, then I have to wait for my cousin to go out together today, Ning Yu, I'll just sit here and wait."

"What's that called, Xiao Yuan, please bring me a cup of tea."

Xiao Yuan looked at Zhu Yi speechlessly, he really regarded Ning Mansion as his own home.

"Xiao Yuan, go ahead and heat up a pot of tea."

Ning Yu called Xiao Yuan softly, but asked Xiao Yuan to get a pot of tea.

After a while, a servant came up with tea. He respectfully poured a glass of water for Ning Yu first, and then poured half a glass for Zhu Yi.

"Hey, let me say, brother, what do you mean by half a glass of water?"

Zhu Yi looked at his cup, and reminded the bearded servant behind him with dissatisfaction.

The man filled his glass of water again,

"Ouch... I said, brother, I didn't provoke you, did you see that the water has flowed into my hands... Are you targeting me... Fu Fu Fu..."

"Shh-"

Fu Di made a silent gesture to him, Zhu Yi closed his mouth knowingly, but opened his eyes wide and wandered back and forth between Fu Di and Ning Yu, as if he wanted to ask a big gossip, but there was something wrong with his mouth. Can't ask.

"Haha, brother Zhu, you look really funny, hahaha..."

"Ning Yu, stop laughing, what's going on, Fu...why are you here, this dress is still a servant of your Ning Mansion?"

"Three or two sentences can't be explained clearly, just listen to me slowly."

Now that Shen Ruyan didn't seem to wake up so soon, Ning Yu explained to Zhu Yi the ins and outs of Fu Di's coming to Ning Mansion in a low voice. ;

"Brother Fu, I heard that, this, this, I have never heard that City Lord Fu is looking for you. Your brotherhood, oh, how can you compare with Ning Yu's elder brother Ning Ting."

"That's the best." Fu Di who spoke less behind him proactively responded to Zhu Yi.

"Cut—" Zhu Yi rolled his eyes.

"Hey, Ning Yu, let's not talk about Brother Fu. Today's New Year's Eve, everything is sold on the street, and there will be a performance outside the city tonight. Let's go see it together."

"But I still have to bring my cousin. I don't know if she will agree."

"I agree! Take me, take me!" A lovely voice sounded, and Shen Ruyan jumped out of nowhere, and said loudly.

The three people in the hall were taken aback and looked at this cute and petite girl.

"Cousin Ruyan, you're awake."

"Cousin Yu, I'm going, take me."

Only 14-year-old Shen Ruyan acted like a baby to Ning Yu, of course Ning Yu couldn't refuse, and kept nodding with a smile.

Zhu Yi observed Shen Ruyan... Is this Ning Yu's cousin? She is very cute, but compared to Ning Yu...

Fu Di, who was dressed as a servant, stood behind them, watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart.

"Cousin Yu, this son is..."

Shen Ruyan turned her head to stare at Zhu Yi, and asked Ning Yu.

"Ah, Miss Shen, right? My name is Zhu Yi."

After Zhu Yi finished speaking, he smiled and winked at Shen Ruyan, causing Shen Ruyan's face to turn red all of a sudden.

"Brother Zhu, don't bully my lovely cousin."

"Brother Ning, don't get me wrong. How could I bully Miss Shen? I'm just saying hello to Miss Shen."

"Okay, okay, Cousin Yu, can we go out to play today? I haven't been to Feiyang City for many years, and the last time I came was the year when my aunt passed away..."

"Well, since Cousin Ruyan wants to go out, let's go out today and have a good time."

"Okay, let's go—"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ruyan took Ning Yu's arm and began to walk out.

The vigorous and resolute appearance is exactly the same as Shen Jintang told Ning Ting yesterday that he would leave for Feiyun City the next day.

Before going out, Ning Yu asked Xiao Yuan not to follow them, but let Adi follow them.

Shen Ruyan also brought only one maid, and together with Zhu Yi, the five of them started walking towards the street.
