As soon as Jiang Yunlan entered the Shangshu Mansion, countless ladies paid attention to her.
Now everyone in Beijing is discussing about the Ning family girl, and several people have thoughts about Ning Nuan. As Ning Nuan's mother, Jiang Yunlan has received a lot of attention. What about Jiang Yunlan herself is naturally one of the contents of the investigation of the ladies. If only Ning Nuan is outstanding, and the family behind her is a burden, it will make the ladies hesitate.
Jiang Yunlan knew this truth, so she did not show any timidity. After entering the Shangshu mansion, she followed the guidance of the maid to the backyard, where countless people had already arrived. When she saw her, Mrs. Shangshu immediately greeted her. come over.
"Mrs. Ning is here." Mrs. Shangshu said in a friendly manner: "I was expecting Mrs. Ning to come over early in the morning, but now I have finally waited for Mrs. Ning."
Jiang Yunlan hurriedly said, "I made you wait for a long time."
"Not long, not long, there are still many people here." Mrs. Shang Shu took her to sit down and said, "I also saw that the flowers in my garden are blooming just right, so I thought of inviting you to come and have a look. It made Madam Ning laugh."
Jiang Yunlan hurriedly said some compliments.
When everyone came together, Jiang Yunlan discovered that even the wife of Lord Zhou, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was also here. Mrs. Zhou seemed to be unaware of the internal relationship of the Ning family. When she saw her, she smiled at her with a very kind attitude. Jiang Yunlan's eyes turned around and landed on Mrs. Shang Shu, who suddenly understood something.
After waiting for the half-time of the ladies, a handsome young man walked in from a distance. It was the son of Shangshu's mansion. Seeing that Mrs. Shangshu was here, he came over to say hello.
Jiang Yunlan naturally also saw this talented Shangshu son.
When the people were far away, Mrs. Shangshu took her hand and said casually, "My son, I have to read some poetry and books on weekdays, and now I am preparing for this year's autumn season. He is looking for a like-minded girl..." Mrs. Shang Shu said, looking at her with deep eyes.
Jiang Yunlan was a little settled, but she didn't respond immediately. She only complimented Mrs. Shangshu and said that Mrs. Shangshu was handsome and talented, which made Mrs. Shangshu smile.
In the Ning residence, facing Ning Nuan's unceremonious attitude, Ning Qing's face turned pale with anger, and she could hardly hold back her expression.
She still wanted to say something nice to Ning Nuan, but she just looked at Ning Nuan, and when she remembered what she said without any sympathy, she couldn't keep a smile.
Ning Nuan smiled and said, "I really got it right. I've been a cousin under the same roof as you for so long. I don't know what your temperament is. You always love targeting me. You gave me a good face, but also had no purpose. If you didn't hear that I could marry a good family in the future, why would you say such things against your heart? You have always had a good relationship with Ning Xin, but now it's better. Xin also came out."
Ning Qing looked at her with a sullen face.
"In the past, Ning Xin stood with you, and you called her like your sister, but now you turn around and betray her. How can you make me trust you?" Ning Nuan looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup. " If I believe what you said today, and someone else can bring you benefits later, I'm afraid you will sell me again."
Ning Qing gritted her teeth: "Since you knew from the beginning, you were just watching my jokes?"
She turned her head and glared at Xiang Tao, thinking that this maid had ridiculed her like this before, and she felt even more resentful in her heart.
She said, how dare a little maid to be so presumptuous to her, it turned out to be under Ning Nuan's instructions!
"I don't know, you came here suddenly, and you didn't talk to me, how can I know what you're thinking?" Ning Nuan sneered: "Just follow your usual habit and mention your week again. Young Master, I think it's just for my marriage."
Ning Qing asked again, "You really haven't heard of it?"
Ning Nuan asked her back, "What did you hear?"
Ning Qing hesitated for a while, then hesitantly said, "I heard Mrs. Zhou mention that it was... Mrs. Shangshu..."
"Mrs. Shangshu? Which Shangshu?"
"Master Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Ning Nuan suddenly said, "Mrs. Zhou wants to befriend the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so you came to see me with a smile on your face and have a good word with me?"
Ning Qing nodded reluctantly.
"Don't mention whether we have split up, even if we don't, it won't be as you wish." Ning Nuan said, "Don't mention who ruined my reputation in the first place, you and I have never been on good terms, just because of that. Is there a definite minister of the Ministry of Industry, you are just so flattering, if I am going to marry someone else someday, what will you do?"
Ning Qing was shocked: "You still want to reject Madam Shang Shu?"
"My mother hasn't mentioned it to me yet."
"Are you crazy?" Ning Qing said in disbelief, "Although Master Huizhen helped you, your reputation has been cleaned up, but that is also the minister of the Ministry of Industry. If you rejected Mrs. Liu, would you still be able to find a better one? Is it okay? You..." Ning Qing paused, thinking that she couldn't say too much, and then turned to say: "I will marry Zhou Gongzi in the future, you can think about it, even if you think I don't like it, but The Liu family and the Zhou family are on good terms, and you and I will definitely have an intersection."
Ning Nuan still should not.
Ning Qing stood up angrily: "I would like to persuade you, do you really think that after your reputation improves, you will be able to marry those princes and princes? If you want to reject Mrs. Liu, then don't pull me into the water, I It is also kind to tell you, if you really refuse, you will definitely regret it, those princes and princes, how can they see you!"
Ning Qing only thought that she turned over, and her heart floated to the sky.
Ning Nuan didn't want to talk to her, and said impatiently, "Xiang Tao, send Miss Tang out."
Xiang Tao Cui responded with a stern voice, smilingly blocking Ning Nuan's face, looking at Ning Qing, and said, "Miss Tang, come this way with the servant."
Ning Qing glared at Ning Nuan angrily again, but Ning Nuan had lowered her head and did not notice her gaze. Ning Qing's eyes were wrong, and she was attracted by the bead pendant swaying above her head. If she remembers correctly, this is a new piece of jewelry from the jewelry shop, and it is very valuable. She looked at it several times, but she couldn't find any money, but she didn't expect to see it on Ning Nuan's head.
Looking at the material of Ning Nuan's clothes, they are all good materials, and the ones on her body can't compare.
Ning Qing's eyes dimmed, and countless dissatisfaction arose in her heart.
Why is Ning Nuan's life so good? She was born with brocade clothes and jade food, and her uncle is in good spirits. After the separation, the situation of the two Ning families is even more different, but Ning Nuan you? His reputation can be washed away, and he is still favored by Mrs. Shang Shu. Even if he doesn't get married with Young Master Liu in the future, there will be other good people in the future.
On the contrary, she said a lot of good things about her relationship with Ning Nuan in front of Mrs. Zhou, and she still doesn't know how that person will face Mrs. Zhou in the future.
Ning Qing's heart was sour, she glared at Ning Nuan angrily, and under Xiangtao's repeated urging, she turned her head and left the Ning residence.
After sending people off, Xiang Tao hurried back immediately, leaned into Ning Nuan's ear, and asked in surprise, "Miss, do you really want to reject Mrs. Liu?"
Ning Nuan gave her a look and said helplessly, "I ask you, has my mother told me about this?"
"The madam hasn't told the lady yet."
"Even my mother doesn't know it, so I don't know even more. Does Ning Qing's words count?"
"Then... Then what if it really counts?" Xiang Tao asked: "Miss Tang is here. I think Mrs. Shangshu really mentioned it."
"Do you know anything about Young Master Liu?"
Peach shook her head.
"What about Liu Shangshu?"
Peach still shook her head.
"Miss, don't make fun of the slaves. The slaves are the servants of the Ning family. How can they know about the Shangshu Mansion?"
"Since I don't know anything, how can I answer it so easily." Ning Nuan ordered her to bring a book to herself, and then said, "If I marry someone, I have to find out about that person, and I'll be married clearly. Bai Bai, if you don't know anything, what's the difference in who you marry?"
Xiangtian scratched her head, and responded vaguely.
After Chu Fei entered the palace, he entered the Queen Mother's palace to greet him, and saw the Queen Mother and the Queen sitting together, holding a few portraits and looking at them.
He lowered his eyes to suppress the complex emotions in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he had already revealed a smile, which was not much different from usual.
"Empress mother, sister-in-law, what are you looking at here?" He approached with a friendly attitude and said, "I see that you have so many portraits of women in your hands. Could it be that you are choosing a daughter-in-law for my nephew again?"
"That's not it." The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "When the fifth prince is old, it's time to choose a suitable prince and concubine."
The queen mother picked up a portrait and said, "I think this looks good."
Chu Fei looked up and saw the contents of the portrait, and his whole body froze.
"Mother, this..."
"How about this? Don't you think it's suitable?" The queen mother smiled and said: "Now in the capital, everyone is talking about this girl Ning, saying that she was mentioned by Master Huizhen himself, saying that she has a pure and kind temperament, and she is a good family. Since Master Huizhen said it himself, it would be a good idea to come. I think her background is not bad, and if she is betrothed to the fifth prince, it is just right."
Isn't the person on the portrait Ning Nuan
Chu Fei was flustered in his heart, and he never imagined why Ning Nuan's portrait would end up in the Queen Mother's hands.
What else to say? Want A Nuan to marry the fifth prince? !
The fifth prince is his nephew. If A Nuan really married the fifth prince and became a concubine, wouldn't he still be a generation lower than her? !
Besides, what is the palace, A Nuan has already entered once, how can he enter again? !
Chu Fei suddenly regretted that when he cleaned up Ning Nuan's reputation, why didn't he say a few words, at least not to let the queen mother take a fancy to him.
Well now, even the queen mother has taken a fancy to Ah Nuan! Let A Nuan be his niece!
