After Ning Lang returned home, he sent the few white jade birds to Ning Nuan.
Those little white jade birds are also really delicate, even the details of the feathers on their backs are clearly carved, and they are alive, as if they are real. Compared to the straw animals that Ning Lang brought back before, Ning Nuan fell in love with it at a glance.
She said in surprise, "Brother, why did you buy this?"
"A Nuan likes it?" Ning Lang said with a smile: "As long as A Nuan likes it, I didn't buy this, it was given by His Royal Highness An."
Ning Nuan paused, then raised his head in surprise: "From His Royal Highness Prince An?"
"Yes, King An said that he stole your straw sparrow, and he will compensate you with a jade one. I see that the jade one is much more valuable than the straw one. As expected of the prince, this is a really generous shot. "Ning Lang sighed.
Ning Nuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
She held the white jade bird and hesitated for a long time before asking tentatively, "Brother, is it the first time you and Prince An have known each other?"
"This is not the first time." Ning Lang said solemnly, "I met Prince An once on the street and once again in the academy. This time I went to Prince An's mansion. It has been three times, and once it has been born twice, it can be said that it is a best friend after three times."
Ning Nuan: "…"
Ning Nuan was shocked by him.
She looked down at the delicate jade bird in her hand, and couldn't help thinking in her heart: An Wang is a dignified prince, but he doesn't seem to be in tune with her brother
In this world, she has also seen a cheeky and familiar person like Ning Lang. She thought it was rare for her brother to be like this. It's good enough for a gift.
Ning Nuan put away the white jade bird and found a suitable place to set it up. She stared at the jade bird for a long time, and couldn't help but muttered in her heart: Isn't King An also a fool
…
There was an additional ornament in Ning Nuan's room, which was originally inconspicuous, but when Ning's mother took the book from her bookshelf, she happened to see it at a glance.
"Huh? Ah Nuan, when did you suddenly have this on your shelf?" Ning mother poked Bai Yu Xiaoniao's face and said, "It looks so delicate, when I came last time, it seemed that he hadn't seen him before. been."
"It was sent by my brother." Ning Nuan was writing, the tip of the pen paused, and a dot of ink was smudged on the rice paper. She settled down and said, "My brother said that I saw it on the street and thought I would like it, so I bought it specially for me."
"He has been thinking about you." Mother Ning said with a smile: "This jade is still a good Hetian jade, and it is very valuable. I think your brother is going to ask your father for money again."
"How's Dad doing lately?"
"Your father, he is thinking about how to make money all day long. He asked me this morning how much profit he had from the Zhuangzi shop. I told him that when he had nothing in his hand, he I was surprised, and I tripped over the threshold when I went out." Mother Ning sat down beside her, held up a letter she had just written and looked at it carefully, and praised her again before continuing. Said: "Your father doesn't think about it. Although the old man left him a lot of things, his two brothers and the old lady are not merciful. After all these years, if it wasn't for my vigilance and the old man's things, It has already been divided up by the old lady and the brothers."
"Mother? You say that, is it because Dad still has something in his hand?"
"Of course there are. When I started, the old man's health was not very good. He distributed the things in his hands to the old lady and the three brothers. Among them, your father took the most. At that time, your father and I His relationship is not bad, and he gave me some to keep it for him. The benefits of those shops are good, and they have saved a lot over the years. "
"Dad doesn't know?"
"If he knew, he wouldn't let his two younger brothers take things out of his hands all these years." Ning mother sneered: "Your father is not so big as to say that he has no heart, even how many things in his pockets. I can't even care about it, and I'm still taking the mess on myself."
Ning Nuan asked, "What about the ones in that mother's hands?"
Speaking of this, Ning's mother became proud: "Not only did your father give it to me at the beginning, but after that, I was afraid that your father would hand over all the property to others, so he would ask for it from your father in the name of you and Lang'er. A lot of things came here, and I counted them carefully, but most of them are here with me."
It's just that she became smarter for a while, and later, like Ning Yanting, she was fooled by the second and third rooms.
It's just these, but it's not good to talk to Ning Nuan.
Ning Nuan was really surprised, as if it was the first time she knew such a mother. She originally thought that the mother suddenly changed her temperament after the nightmare that day, so she was also smart earlier
She couldn't help but rejoice in her heart: fortunately, my mother woke up early, otherwise there would be nothing left.
She sincerely appreciated Mother Ning's foresight, and said happily: "If Dad finds out later, he will be happy."
"In the future? Who said to tell him?" Mother Ning said, "These things were prepared for you and Lang'er. In the future, the things in mother's hands will be divided into two parts, half for you and half for Lang'er, and no one will no less than anyone else."
Ning Nuan frowned slightly: "Mother, this is not very good."
"What's wrong? It's my thing, whoever I want to give it to, then give it to whoever, even if I give it all to you, no matter how dissatisfied your father and Langer are, they can still go to the yamen to sue me. ?" Mother Ning said bitterly, "No matter how many good things fall into their hands, they will still lose their lives. Only you, A Nuan, are smart, and those businesses will definitely become more and more in your hands. Red fire."
Ning Nuan was very embarrassed by what she said.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother is still young, and in a few years, he will naturally become like what mother expects. Brother is a man who stands above the ground and will not disappoint her."
Ning's mother casually agreed a few words, but she didn't think so in her heart.
After her A Nuan married into the palace, she took care of the entire palace in an orderly manner. Who wouldn't say that Prince An married a good princess? What about Ning Lang? Until she died, she was still an ignorant playboy, not only did not become the person who protects her sister from the sky, but instead let his sister clean up the mess for him.
Thinking of this, Ning's mother felt distressed.
At that time, there were a lot of things in Ning's house, and she was negligent for a while, and she didn't realize that Ning Lang was fooled by his friends. By the time she found out, it was too late.
She had no masters, and Ning Yanting was too busy to take care of herself, so she had to go to the palace and beg A Nuan. At that time, it was not a few years since A Nuan got married, but she had lost her spirit of being in the boudoir, her eyes were full of exhaustion, the chaos of the palace had consumed most of her mind, and she had to manage the pile of pickles in the Ning palace. trouble.
That day, the snow was heavy, she told A Nuan about Ning Lang, and she felt uneasy, for fear that A Nuan would object. But A Nuan didn't say anything at that time, just silent for a long time, and then sighed deeply. She accidentally touched Ah Nuan's fingers, and the tentacles were cold, colder than the winter snow outside the courtyard.
That sigh reached the bottom of Mother Ning's heart, made her die and live again, and went through a cycle of reincarnation, but she still couldn't forget it.
Her A Nuan is good everywhere, the only bad thing is that it is spread on their family members. It should have been a pearl in the palm of her hand, but the pearl was mixed with dust and was pulled and dragged by them, and she lost everything. brilliance.
Either Ning Yanting, Ning Lang, or she. She blamed Ning Yanting, Ning Lang, and herself.
In her last life, she thought she was taking care of everyone, but she lived in trepidation and felt sorry for herself. She was confused all her life, but she didn't realize until after her death that she was worthy of anyone, but A Nuan, who was sorry for her.
Her A Nuan is very good in every possible way, but in the end she was implicated by them.
…
Although I promised the old lady verbally, it still takes a lot of work to raise money.
As usual, after agreeing, Ning Yanting would have the things ready for delivery the next day as soon as possible. This time, Ning Qing waited for several days, and she hurriedly went to the old lady to complain.
The old lady was very displeased, so she called Ning Yanting over again, knocked on the side, and mentioned to him about the two younger brothers, so that he should not forget this matter.
Where did Ning Yanting dare to forget
He responded bitterly and turned back out of the old lady's yard, still frowning.
Not long after he returned to the yard, Ning Yanhai hurriedly came over and knocked on his door. Seeing it was him, Ning Yanting felt a tightness in his heart, thinking that he was looking at something that he wanted to help buy, so he subconsciously closed the door.
"Hey, eldest brother, don't close, don't close the door." Ning Yanhai dodged into the room, and said with a displeased expression: "Brother, what happened to you today? You have seen me, but you still have to close the door, could it be? Not on purpose?"
Ning Yanting sneered: "Of course not, I... I didn't notice it for a while."
"Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore." Ning Yanhai waved his hand and said confidently, "Brother, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help."
Ning Yanting touched his purse subconsciously again.
shriveled.
Seeing his actions, Ning Yanhai frowned again: "Big brother, what are you doing here? Is it because every time my brother comes to look for you, it is to make you pay money?"
Ning Yanting hurriedly said: "How come, third brother, how could eldest brother miss you like this."
"I know that eldest brother is good to us." Ning Yanhai looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother, in fact, when I came back to you this time, I also wanted your help."
Ning Yanting: "..."
Ning Yanhai: "Big brother, I know what you're worrying about these days. It's about Ning Qing's marriage, right? Actually, the second brother did something wrong in the first place. Ning Qing's marriage, how can you make money? ."
"Third brother, don't say that." Ning Yanting hurriedly retorted: "Between our brothers, whoever has difficulties, of course everyone helps each other, I am older than you, how can I watch you have difficulties but be indifferent. "
Ning Yanhai rolled his eyes in his heart, but felt at ease. He approached Ning Yanting and whispered, "Brother, are you short of money?"
"what?"
During this period of time, Ning Yanting was buckling, and he could see it at a glance.
"Big brother, I have a small favor for you to help here. If you help me, I will give you money. How about you go buy jewelry for Ning Qing?"
Ning Yanting subconsciously said, "How can Big Brother ask for your money." But his ears perked up involuntarily, and he listened carefully to Ning Yanhai's words.
Ning Yanhai leaned into his ear and whispered to him.
After listening to Ning Yanting, his eyes widened immediately: "What?!"
