The second lady's life has not been very good recently.
The matter has to start after Ning Yanting was injured. Since Ning Yanting was injured, since that ginseng, Mother Ning has repeatedly made excuses to come to the second room, asking for ginseng and ganoderma, not only the precious medicinal materials and supplements in the warehouse are Looking for excuses to take away a lot, and even asking for food and clothing.
The second lady was very reluctant. In her heart, she was in charge of the internal affairs of the Ning family, and she also had the key to the warehouse. Those things in the warehouse already belonged to the second room. Jiang Yunlan made excuses again and again to ask for it. Something, obviously to cut her flesh.
For a while, I felt that there was something missing in Ning Yanting's room, so I took away the valuable antique vases in the warehouse, and all of a sudden said that Ning Yanting was uncomfortable, and took away the precious fabrics and satins in the warehouse... This excuse is found. One after another, the second lady couldn't even say what she refused.
No way, who told Jiang Yunlan to count the things in the warehouse clearly, if she shies away from the warehouse, Jiang Yunlan will make trouble in front of the old lady. .
In the final analysis, Jiang Yunlan was the true mistress of the Ning family. The three brothers of the Ning family had not yet split up, so the key to the warehouse should also be in Jiang Yunlan's hands.
If the second lady is to resist again, Ning's mother will threaten her to go to the government and let the government cut off the housework. At that time, a hat for bullying the eldest brother was buckled, and the second lady couldn't take it off even if she wanted to.
The second lady hated so much in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
She really wanted to go to the old lady. If the old lady came forward, she would definitely be on the side of their second room, but Ning's mother was like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. If she really went to the old lady, I am afraid I really need to go to see the government.
The second lady is not afraid of the government, but more afraid of the Jiang family behind her.
Therefore, although the second lady was very reluctant, she still smiled and gave those things to Mother Ning.
When she thought about it before going to bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Ning Yanwen said impatiently, "What troubles you?"
The second lady hurriedly sat up and told him the matter.
Hearing this, Ning Yanwen couldn't help but be serious. He also had the same idea as the second lady. Although Ning Yanting was the master of the Ning family on the surface, in private, because of the partiality of the old lady, he had long regarded everything in the Ning family as his own. Mother moved all the good things to Ning Yanting, and Ning Yanwen couldn't sit still.
"How can you let go so easily?" He reprimanded, "Let her move on like this, and before the big brother gets better, I'm afraid the warehouse will be emptied."
The second lady said aggrievedly: "I also just thought that we will be able to come back after the elder brother's injury is healed."
But even if I want to come back, I have eaten and used it, no matter how I think about it, it is not the same as before.
The couple looked at each other and made up their minds together.
The next day, Ning Yanting was resting in the house, waiting for another guest.
"Big brother."
"Second brother, why are you here?" Ning Yanting said, "Aren't you on duty today?"
"Having a break today, I thought about the injury of my eldest brother, so I came to see him." Ning Yanwen said, "Brother, how do you feel about your health?"
Ning Yanting sneered in his heart and said, "It's also my fault that I'm injured and unable to move. I haven't been to the court for a few days, and I even forgot about Xiu Mu. I'm worried about my second brother, I feel much better, I want to come for half a month. After that, it will go down smoothly.”
"That's good." Ning Yanwen breathed a sigh of relief, looking very happy for him.
He had some gossip with Ning Yanting, and the topic finally came to the purpose of his coming.
Ning Yanwen said casually: "Fortunately, the doctor said that the eldest brother only needs to rest for half a month. If it is half a year, I am afraid our Ning family can't afford it."
Ning Yanting's heart moved slightly, but his face showed confusion: "Second brother, what about this?"
Ning Yanwen looked at him blankly.
"Second brother, if you have something to say, what else can't be said between us brothers?"
"Since the eldest brother said so, then the younger brother also said it straight." Ning Yanwen sighed and said, "The eldest brother also knows, these days, the eldest sister-in-law is worried about the eldest brother, and specially asked a lot of good things from the public. "
As he said, he looked around, and sure enough, he saw new furnishings in the house that he had never seen before. With Ning Yanwen's eyesight, it's not hard to see that it's worth a lot.
He swallowed the turbulent dissatisfaction in his heart, and said bitterly and deeply: "Brother also knows that sister-in-law is worried about brother-in-law, and is eager for a while, but what sister-in-law is taking is Gongzhong's things, if it is only once or twice, this is all. It's more than a few times, really... Don't blame me, eldest brother, it's just that the lady is pressing hard, and the younger brother can only have the cheek to come to the eldest brother."
"Yunlan went to the public school to get something?"
"Yes, eldest brother, you usually drink ginseng soup, but the decorations in this room are all just brought by Gongzhong."
Ning Yanting looked puzzled: "What's wrong with this?"
"Actually... ah?" Ning Yanwen was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, what did you just say?"
"I said, what's wrong with this?" Ning Yanting said calmly: "Our Ning family hasn't split up yet, aren't these things from the public?"
"… what?"
"Second brother may have forgotten, I brought back a set of enamel decorations from outside, which I originally wanted to give to Yunlan, but when I brought it back, something went wrong and it was actually recorded in Gongzhong's account. Go up, when I go to ask for it again, the enamel color has already been taken away by the second brother. The second brother says he likes it, then give it to the second brother. The three brothers of the Ning family have always been like this, regardless of you and me, the second brother, you Say yes?"
Ning Yanwen choked suddenly, not knowing how to answer.
"Usually the second brother and the third brother see what they like, and it doesn't matter whether it is public or private. A few years ago, second brother, you wanted to renovate a village in the suburbs of Beijing, but you were short of money and couldn't afford the money. account?"
Ning Yanwen: "..."
Ning Yanting said lightly: "Yunlan just took a few ginseng sticks and ornaments from the warehouse. Yunlan has a sense of proportion, which is not worth the second brother's trembling. Our Ning brothers have a good relationship, no Divide between you and me. If anyone is in trouble, the other two will also help. Now that I have been injured accidentally, I need some ginseng to supplement my body. There is something missing in the house, so naturally I also need new ones to make up for it. Second brother, dont you agree?"
Whether these two sentences are true, Ning Yanwen was immediately confused.
Ning Yanting's reaction was so different from what he imagined, he really didn't know how to answer.
This... what's going on here
Shouldn't it be that after he finished talking to Ning Yanting, Ning Yanting had a look of guilt and anger, and told him that he would persuade Jiang Yunlan well and would not let Jiang Yunlan do such excessive things again. , I might be able to get compensation from Ning Yanting, but... But how could it be... That's it
What about guilt
What about anger
What Ning Yanting said, the enamel color and the courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, Ning Yanwen had some impressions, but he never imagined that Ning Yanting would remember this matter so firmly. Now that he was moved out and said that, it seemed that he was not being reasonable.
Ning Yanwen seemed to catch his tongue all of a sudden, unable to say a word.
He was used to being a human being, especially in front of Ning Yanting. He made Ning Yanting feel guilty every time because of the little things he did when he was a child. But now it's better, his purpose was to say it, but he was blocked by Ning Yanting!
Ning Yanwen looked at him, startled and frightened, as if he had only known him the day before.
Ning Yanting pretended to be puzzled: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Big brother..." Ning Yanwen opened his mouth, calmed down, and then said, "That's what I said, but I'm afraid that the third brother..."
"The third brother will definitely not say anything." Ning Yanting interrupted him, his face still looked like a brother and brother: "The three of us brothers are united, how do we think, the third brother must also think the same way. Besides, Yunlan only brought some things from the Duke. The second and third brothers have also done this. Yunlan took a lot in one breath, but it was the first time that he took it, compared to the second and third. Brother, it is incomparable."
The implication is that you have all taken so much, why don't you allow me to take some too
Can he tell
Of course he can't!
Ning Yanwen opened his mouth and could only swallow the rest of the words with an ugly face.
The internal affairs of the Ning family are very chaotic, because the second room is in charge, and the second room is the one that takes the most advantage, but in the same way, the third room is not too small. The three brothers of the Ning family, the second and the third are indeed brothers, and together they take advantage of the eldest. Because of this relationship, even the relationship between the second wife and the third wife's sister-in-law is not bad. The two manage together. Internal affairs, no one is willing to suffer. Therefore, whenever there is any good thing, the two of them also do their best to pick up on their side, treating the public treasury as their private treasury. Fortunately, Ning Yanting was still there, so the Ning Mansion was not allowed to collapse inside.
Ning Yanting asked, "Second brother, do you have anything else to do?"
Ning Yanwen paused and asked again, "Brother, about Sister Qing's dowry..."
Ning Yanting's eyes moved slightly, and he said calmly, "Second brother, rest assured, my third brother and I are both Ning Qing's uncles, how could we treat her badly."
Because of what happened just now, Ning Yanwen was a little absent-minded, and he didn't realize that he also brought Ning Yanhai with him. Hearing Ning Yanting's pillow, Ning Yanwen breathed a sigh of relief.
He added: "To be honest, my younger brother has recently seen something..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Yanting: "Since that's the case, the second brother should go to the Duke to get the silver."
"… what?"
Ning Yanting gave him a strange look: "Can't you?"
"...Okay." Ning Yanwen gritted his teeth and replied, "What eldest brother said is that I wanted to be wrong. Then brother will not disturb eldest brother, eldest brother has a good rest, I will see you next time."
Ning Yanting hummed.
He thought in his heart: Since he woke up, he has been lying in bed for many days, except for the first day, this is the only time, obviously living in the Ning Mansion, but Ning Yanwen only came twice , next time? Maybe wait until he's healed next time
Ning Yanting couldn't feel the slightest wave in his heart.
He looked at the back of Ning Yanwen leaving, and felt a little happy in his heart.
In his last life, he treated his two younger brothers with all his heart and heart, but in the end he ended up in such a bad way. He wronged his family and himself. In the end, he didn't even get what he thought he had. unwillingness and remorse.
He has long been used to being obedient to his younger brothers. When he was a child, he was told by the old lady, but later it became a subconscious reaction. When his younger brothers asked, no matter how difficult it was, he would agree. But when he refused, he realized that he was in such a good mood.
Ning Yanting's eyes fell on the newly changed ornaments in the house.
He thought about it in his heart and thought: This jade is not good-looking, why not replace it with agate
…
Ning Lang was cleaned up by Ning's mother, and he really didn't dare to mention anything about King An again.
Although he didn't know why Mother Ning was so jealous of King An, he never thought much about it, and he didn't want to think about it.
Since that day, Ning's mother's requirements on him have become more strict than before. Originally, he only required him to go to school every day and not truant, but now it is better, and he has to let the little servant watch his every move and everything he does. , will be recorded by the little servant, and if he contacts someone too closely, he will be told to Mother Ning.
Every move was being monitored, which made Ning Lang very uncomfortable.
What made him miss even more was his sweetheart.
He knew that the identity of the sweetheart would not satisfy Ning's mother, and now that he was stared at by the servant, he was even more afraid to go to his sweetheart, for fear that Ning's mother would find out what was wrong.
But if he couldn't see him for a day, he could bear it, and if he couldn't see him for two or three days, he couldn't bear it any longer.
On the other hand, the matter that Ning Nuan asked Xiangtao to find someone to investigate finally came to a conclusion.
"The eldest young master used to run to Hulu Alley some time ago." Xiangtao said, "I have to go there almost every day, first go to Hulu Alley, and then go home. The eldest lady only cares that the eldest young master can't skip school, but doesn't care when he is. return."
"Who lives in the Hulu Alley?"
Mentioning this, Xiang Tao's face immediately showed indescribable expression.
She is about the same age as Ning Nuan, Ning Nuan is young, and she is the same. After Xiangtao heard the results of the investigation, her face turned red, and it was ugly for a long time. Miss listen. Xiang Tao's face was embarrassed, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.
Ning Nuan frowned: "What can't you say?"
"No, it's just... just... Miss, if you hear it, don't be angry." Xiang Tao took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and whispered to her ear: "This servant heard about the Hulu Alley, live here. Lots of prostitutes."
Ning Nuan's face suddenly turned pale.
"What, what did you say?!" Ning Nuan clenched his fists: "You said that my brother often runs to Hulu Alley, yes, yes..."
"Miss, don't worry." Xiangtao said quickly, "The slaves have also inquired about it. Not everyone in the Hulu Alley does this kind of business. There are also many innocent people living in it. The eldest young master's sweetheart is like that. Clean the family."
But they all live next to the prostitutes. Ordinary people have long thought of moving out. If they are a good woman, how can they live there with peace of mind
Xiang Tao hurriedly poured her a cup of hot tea.
Holding the hot cup in his hand, Ning Nuan calmed down.
"How many people know about this?"
"The eldest young master has not known that person for a long time. It seems that he was introduced by a friend of the eldest young master." Ning Lang's friends and friends don't know where he got them. There are also rogues, and it is not surprising that they know Hulu Alley. "Except for those friends of the eldest young master, not many people should know about it."
"That's good." Ning Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiang Tao, go and talk to your mother, tell her... No, these days, mother's requirements for my brother have been very strict." Isn't that even the sweetheart who dare not see her? "But to cure it, I still have to let my brother give up on that person."
If she guessed correctly, it is estimated that her brother was deceived by his friend again.
Although she had never met her brother's friends, she also knew that all of them were scumbags and had never done a serious job.
On the contrary, now, since Mother Ning was ruthlessly disciplined, Ning Lang had less contact with those friends, obediently went to the academy, and improved more than before, and even became friends with King An.
Although Ning Nuan wasn't sure why An Wang and Ning Lang became friends, at present, An Wang was much friendlier than those hooligans. Ning Nuan couldn't help but think in her heart: it would be great if every friend of my brother could be as good as King An.
Ning Nuan thought about it, and suddenly thought about it.
She knew how her brother valued An Wang as a friend.
If she persuaded her well, her brother would not necessarily listen to her, and if she asked her mother and father to come forward, she might even make her brother show rebelliousness.
But what if An Wang could come forward
No, there is no need to come forward, what if she could take advantage of King An
