In a flower hall in the inner courtyard of Huguohou Mansion, many female relatives sitting in it could hear laughter from time to time.
Although the people who came here to congratulate are for Marquis Hu Ning Zuan to marry a concubine, but now they have changed their purpose. The third girl from the Huguo Mansion is really a wonderful person, not only beautiful, but also gentle and graceful, It was held generously and decently, and one could tell at a glance that the future is limitless. Some people even said that the third prince had already been waiting there for the Hou Mansion where the third girl had just returned yesterday.
Who is the third prince! That is the real nobleman of the royal family, and usually only those ladies wait for him shyly. She went to wait for her at Ya Taishi's mansion, but ran to Huguohou's mansion.
The meaning here is, one product, and after another product, some abnormalities will appear!
What's more, there were rumors that the third prince would be engaged to the daughter of the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion. At that time, most people thought it was the second girl of the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion. Now it seems that the rumors were wrong. This third girl might be the real The person who ordered the emperor, the third prince and the concubine Yagui to favor.
Otherwise, in terms of closeness and closeness, the third girl in Huguohou's Mansion can't compare to Grand Master Ya's granddaughter!
For a while, flattery and flattery, but no matter what kind, Ning Qingshan responded very gracefully, with a smile on her face, neither neglecting this one nor neglecting anyone, the host and guest enjoyed each other.
"Third girl, I heard that the fifth girl in your Hou's mansion is also very good, why didn't I see her this time?" An official daughter asked with a smile, looking around for a while.
Incidents happened one after another in the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion, and the matter of the fifth girl in the Hou's Mansion is no longer a secret. Now most people know that there is a fifth girl in the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion, but they have never seen her before and are curious about her. There are not a few people.
"All the girls in your Hou Mansion are outstanding and beautiful. I don't know if the fifth girl is as good as the third girl. Why don't you invite her to come out and talk." Another daughter of a family expressed curiosity.
"That's right, it's already here, why don't you come out? Could it be that the fifth girl is not in the mansion, or won't see us at night?" An official daughter joked.
Ning Qingshan smiled slightly, took up the topic, and said elegantly and gently: "The girls are overthinking, it's not that the fifth sister doesn't want to see people, she's still busy and can't leave for a while."
"What are you busy with? What can she be busy with when Lord Hou marries a concubine?" A young lady subconsciously asked.
Today's banquet is just for Ning Zu'an to accept a concubine, and Ning Xueyan is still a prostitute, so it is possible that she is still accompanying that concubine's room, this is too shameful.
"It's not that I'm busy. There's always something going on in this mansion... Fifth Younger Sister has lost her mother, and she's familiar with Father's new concubine, so she's naturally busier! It's also Fifth Younger Sister who can do more work."
Ning Qing fanned a gentle smile, seemingly unintentionally explaining for Ning Xueyan, like a good sister who wholeheartedly protects her younger sister, and is even more magnanimous in her gentleness.
Xinna's concubine was familiar with the fifth girl from Huguohou's mansion, so this fifth girl didn't come here to accompany the female family members of the official mansion, but went to get close to the new concubine's room, and then thought of this fifth girl It's not that her mother just died, it means getting close to Ning Zuan Xinna's concubine.
A dignified daughter of the concubine wants to curry favor with a concubine's room. Doesn't that mean that she is willing to degenerate? For a moment, all the people present showed contemptuous expressions.
Originally, I wanted to meet this fifth girl who was hidden deep in the Huguohou's Mansion. I heard that she was pretty good, but now I found out that she is such a person who can't stand on the stage. How can anyone think highly of her? No wonder she hasn't appeared in front of people for so many years. , it turned out that it was because Xiaojia was frustrated, and he really couldn't see anyone.
Think about it, otherwise, how could it be possible for a good daughter of the Hou family to never appear in front of people for so many years!
"Miss San, Miss Wu has always been like this?" Someone couldn't help but asked disdainfully.
"I don't know too well. I have been repairing in the nunnery for the past few days. There is only the fifth younger sister by my mother's side, and she is the youngest one." Ning Qingshan didn't answer the question, but she answered the question very well. , as if to say that Ning Xueyan just developed this kind of temperament that can't be on the stage, it's all Ming's habit, the youngest daughter, of course, is the most partial.
Seeing everyone suddenly showing more contemptuous expressions, a gloomy smugness flashed in Ning Jingfan's eyes!
Just now, Nanny Luo came to report, and the account book was delivered to Ning Xueyan "completely". No matter what Ning Xueyan said or did, or found the little girl who helped deliver the account book, she couldn't explain it. It's clear, Mrs. Tai will definitely feel that Ning Xueyan has soiled the ledger, and she hasn't the guts to admit it, and puts the matter on the little girl.
So no matter whether Ning Xueyan recognizes it or not, she can't explain it!
Ning Qing asked clearly that Ning Xueyan had only been in charge of the inner courtyard for a few days, and Madam Tai asked her to read the account book. Gradually, she wanted to let go of the big and small affairs of the inner courtyard to her. Managing the internal affairs is equivalent to managing the home of the Marquis of the country.
The housekeeper is very exciting, and Ning Qingfan has been eyeing this for a long time!
But now that Ning Xueyan is in the palm of her hand, there must be nothing to do with her, so she must kick Ning Xueyan away, and there is also the matter of the third prince. Xueyan has become her enemy and an obstacle to her success in winning the heart of the third prince.
Of course, she didn't pay much attention to Ning Xueyan. A person who has been unknown in Mingshuangyuan for so many years has such great ability. In the Buddhist hall, but as long as she is Ning Zuan's main wife, she will be released.
Occupying the status of an elder, coupled with the fact that the Ling family was originally ruthless, Ning Xueyan couldn't please her no matter what.
So at this time, seizing the power of Ning Xueyan's housekeeper and ruining Ning Xueyan's reputation, in addition to benefiting himself, he can also gain Ling's favor. Maybe Ling can put himself in his name when he comes out. As a pseudo daughter-in-law, I can become a real daughter-in-law.
"Didn't you say that this fifth girl is also extremely talented, gentle and generous? Why is she really like this?" Of course not everyone agreed with Ning Qingshan's answer, and some people asked suspiciously.
Ning Xueyan's previous reputation was indeed not obvious, but after the chrysanthemum banquet in Hanshan Temple, Ning Xueyan met several ladies from all over the world. Compared with Ning Yuling's arrogance and domineering, Ning Xueyan was calm, magnanimous, intelligent and reasonable It gradually spread, although this kind of reputation is not at the same level as Ning Qingfan's.
But it's still a good reputation, and it's passed down from those aristocratic families, so there shouldn't be any doubts about its accuracy.
"What do I look like?" A burst of sweet laughter suddenly came from the door of the flower hall. Everyone was waiting for Ning Qingshan's answer. with a figure.
She is dressed in light lotus-colored clothes, with plain plum blossoms on her feet, picturesque eyebrows, fresh lit cheeks, and a generous smile. She has the bearing of a lady from a family when she moves her hands and feet. She looks elegant and noble, no matter what. It doesn't seem to be the same person as the fifth girl who was despised by everyone just now.
Does this seem like someone who will please my aunt
A few young girls didn't know much about Ning Qingshan's past, so they couldn't help casting suspicious eyes on Ning Qingshan. The third girl couldn't be jealous of the fifth girl, so she said that on purpose, right
"Fifth sister is here, come here quickly, everyone is talking about you, wondering what kind of person you are?" Ning Xueyan suddenly appeared, Ning Qingfan was startled at first, unexpectedly, Ning Xueyan was still in the mood to appear here at this time , but she reacted quickly, stood up gracefully, walked over to hold Ning Xueyan's hand, and smiled gently.
There is no slight difference in behavior, as if the words just now were not bad things about Ning Xueyan, and all good and bad conjectures are just everyone's curious guesses about Ning Xueyan.
"I'm busy with the banquet in the kitchen, so I don't have time to accompany you. I'm sorry." Ning Xueyan walked to the flower hall, withdrew her hand from Ning Qingfan with a natural expression, and gave a blessing to everyone present, generously He smiled apologetically.
This explains why she didn't appear in the flower hall before!
A thirteen or four-year-old Qianjin lady looked at Ning Qingfan on one side, then at Ning Xueyan, and was quite naive and puzzled: "This is the fifth girl of the Hou Mansion, who is preparing the kitchen. It's just... Didn't everyone say that they are staying with the new aunt?"
After saying this, it was like piercing the last layer of paper. Ning Qing gave a perfect smile, which felt stiff and broken, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained. Looking at her suspiciously, she didn't expect that Ning Xueyan was so powerful. With just one sentence, not only broke the advantage she had created before, but also made people doubt herself.
I really underestimated her!
With the new aunt? The corners of Ning Xueyan's lips curled up into a sneer, Ning Qingfan really knows how to make up, she is a dignified daughter, and she is accompanying a concubine's room on such a day, this is really sure that she is so anxious that she can't come.
"Fifth sister, you've worked hard!" Although she was angry in her heart, Ning Qing fanned her face without any surprise, as if Ning Xueyan's appearance here was what she expected. A lady, the lady said, "Fifth Younger Sister has a lot of things to do today. Grandmother is too old to be busy with some things. I heard that Fifth Younger Sister is in charge of everything. There are many major and minor matters in the Hou's residence. How can she not be busy!"
She deliberately said the word "I heard" with a smile, to let everyone understand that when Ning Xueyan was housekeeper for Mrs. Tai, she was not there, so Mrs. Tai chose Ning Xueyan. The topic of the concubine's room has also been rounded up, Ning Zu'an always takes concubines, and Ning Xueyan is in charge of internal affairs, so it's normal to go and have a look!
This explains why she just linked Ning Xueyan and Ning Zu'an's concubine. Smoke creates doubts.
