The ledgers were carefully flipped through, Ning Qingfan's breathing unconsciously became rapid, the calmness on her face was a little unsteady, the perfect smile seemed to be cracked, she flipped through the books, and carefully patted the dust , the top and bottom are clean; another book, dusted off, is clean again...
How could it be clean? There are already four clean books, and Ning Qingshan's nose is involuntarily sweating!
There is one more, and one last, and that must be it...
Picking up the last one, the maid patted it, folded it together, hugged it carefully, turned around and retreated.
None of them are dirty, how could none of them be dirty!
She was absolutely sure that the expected situation did not happen until now, and Ning Qing fanned her heart, and she was stunned for a while, staring blankly at the direction in which the maid was retreating, and opened her mouth, almost wanting to stop the maid , Check it out by yourself, fortunately, she still has a sense of reason, so she didn't do such a thing.
After careful planning, nothing was achieved in the end, and the huge gap made the beautiful smile on her face shattered in an instant!
"Three girls, what's the matter?" Mrs. Tai's eyes fell on Ning Qingshan, who was absent-minded, and the shadow between her brows became more cloudy. Ning Qingshan was really irrational today, but now she still uses such eyes to stare at her. Looking at those ledgers with a hook, is this because she is interested in these ledgers
Glancing at Nanny Qin, Nanny Qin understood, and went over to help Ning Qing to fan her: "Miss San is not feeling well, so she needs to go back and have a rest, she just came back yesterday, and today she has to help Mrs. Madam greet guests. Don't be tired."
Mrs. Tai is asking her to go back.
"No, grandma, I'm not tired!" Ning Qing said subconsciously, forcing a smile on her face. She had just been entertaining guests in front, and this would be hidden by Mrs. Tai. How would others think of her.
"Are you really not tired?" Mrs. Tai said coldly.
"Grandmother, I'm not tired!" Pretending not to understand Madam Tai's words, Ning Qingshan had put away all her doubts at this time, and knew that her actions just now had aroused Madam Tai's doubts, so she didn't dare to act aggressively. Taking a long breath, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
She originally wanted to make Ning Xueyan make a fool of herself, but now that Ning Xueyan didn't make a fool of herself, she herself would be driven back by Mrs. Tai, how could she be reconciled, she is the future third concubine, a person who will be the mother of the world in the future, how can she be accepted by others? Hurrying back, how could she still stand up in front of others.
"Grandmother, the third sister still has to go to the front to help treat the guests!" Ning Xueyan stood up with a smile and explained for Ning Qingfan, with no trace of displeasure on her face.
Just now Ning Qingfan tore her account book to the ground, and in the eyes of everyone, they felt that it was a bit deliberate. When the account book fell to the ground, she finally lost Ning Xueyan's face. Unexpectedly, the fifth girl of the Hou Mansion is really A generous person, he didn't mind at all, but even spoke for Ning Qing.
"Third girl, then go to the front and treat the guests well. You can't surprise the guests and make jokes." Madam Tai's words, there is something in her words, which really made Ning Qing blush, and Madam Tai's next words That sentence made her almost unable to lift her head, "Nurse Qin, you accompany the third girl to the flower hall. If there is anything wrong with the third girl, please testify in time."
This is to put an eyeliner by her side, but what happened just now, she can't refuse!
If this was an ordinary girl, she would have been ashamed and ashamed, and she automatically asked to go back and take a rest.
Of course, Ning Qingshan is an ordinary person, and she carried it down, with a calm expression, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Madam Tai's words, saluted Madam Tai with a smile, and retired.
"Grandmother, I'll go down first to see how the kitchen is being cleaned up and see if there is anything else I need." Ning Xueyan also said goodbye to Mrs. Tai with a smile.
Mrs. Tai was very satisfied with Ning Xueyan's performance today. Hearing her go to the kitchen, she smiled slightly and waved her hand to signal her to go down.
After Ning Xueyan bowed to the old ladies in the room, she retreated with a smile on her face.
"Mrs. Tai, the fifth girl is just like you back then, with a magnanimous style and a calm demeanor. This is the demeanor of a girl from the Hou Mansion."
"No, Mrs. Tai, you were also a famous lady of the generation, and so was your niece. Now it seems that your granddaughter is even more outstanding. She really deserves to be the granddaughter of Mrs. Tai's direct blood. Only such a pure blood can give birth to such an outstanding granddaughter."
Ning Xueyan's heart skipped a beat when several old ladies sighed behind her.
The Ming family is also a famous lady of the generation
But why did it end up like this in the end? There were some things back then that Ning Xueyan hadn’t figured out until now. Even her uncle Ming Feiyong deliberately avoided it when she mentioned this topic. The personal nurse next to Ming's also concealed her attitude towards Ning Xueyan's mention of this matter.
Ning Xueyan has never doubted Nanny Han's loyalty, but why is this kind of thing kept secret...
"Girl, Xinmei has already passed by!" Qingyu came out from nowhere, walked to Ning Xueyan, and replied in a low voice.
Ning Xueyan nodded slightly, and took Lan Ning and Qingyu to the kitchen. Since the excuse she made was to go to the kitchen, of course she would take a look.
However, Ning Xueyan stopped at an intersection, looked at the direction of the intersection, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips, looked at it for a while, turned her head and said to Lan Ning: "Go over there and have a look, Is someone coming over in a while?"
Ning Qingshan just followed Mother Qin to the flower hall on the left, and there are two roads to Luoyanyuan. The ledger has already been sent to Luoyanyuan. With her close confidant and Nanny Qin following her, it is impossible for her to confess anything clearly.
But Ning Qingshan will definitely not be reconciled, so she will definitely find a way to get people to check, and this road is the way to get to Luoyan Courtyard.
Lan Ning is a smart person, she raised her head and followed Ning Xueyan's gaze to look in the direction of Luoyanyuan from the road, and immediately understood what she meant, nodded and walked towards that intersection.
Counting that Ning Qingshan only walked a little earlier than herself, she should be approaching the flower hall by this time, even if Nanny Qin is watching from the side, Ning Qingshan will definitely find a way to send someone over to take a look.
If you look at one side of the path affectionately, then turn to the kitchen on the other side. Luoyan Courtyard is actually quite close to the kitchen. It doesn’t take a while to pass from here, and you don’t have to pass the main road in the inner courtyard. convenient.
This is also the center of the Huguohou's inner courtyard. Ning Qingshan, the foster daughter, has always been favored. Of course, the location of Mingshuangyuan is very different.
When Ning Xueyan returned to Mingshuangyuan, Xinmei had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Ning Xueyan coming in, she and Qingyu started to open the food basket she was carrying, and took out the dishes one by one. The bottom one is a pot of boiled fish soup. The soup is very thick. It can be seen that it has been boiled for a long time, and some chopped green onions are sprinkled on it. It is delicious and fragrant when it is taken out.
Ning Xueyan was also hungry, took the rice from Qingyu and used a small bowl, put down her hands and took a mouthful.
"The fish soup that was cooked suddenly in the kitchen, did anyone say anything?" Ning Xueyan asked casually.
"The others didn't say anything, but there was a Mrs. Li who said a few more words, saying that what was agreed yesterday was braised in red, and steamed in green. Why did she change something today? The servant girl asked her who said it was braised in soy sauce. I couldn’t say anything, I hesitated, and I was scolded severely by Lan Ning.” Qingyu laughed, and after Lan Ning came out of the kitchen, she went to the kitchen to check, making sure that none of the dishes today were braised in soy sauce fish.
Mingshuangyuan is now different from the past, and Ning Xueyan seems to have become a home. Although Mrs. Tai finally made the decision, it can be seen that the fifth girl is different from the past. No one dares to really fight with Ning Xueyan, even Ling None of the members of the Ling family dared to stand out, and what they said one by one, it was obvious that someone in the Ling family had taken care of them and could not cause trouble.
"Go and find out who this Mrs. Li is and how she got into the mansion, or you can find out from Nanny Luo." Ning Xueyan took the tea, took a sip leisurely, and felt the steaming heat, faintly road.
Nanny Luo is the most capable person around Ning Qingshan. When she came to the mansion yesterday for a day, she has a good relationship with all the women in the mansion. She is very capable at first glance.
Compared to Xia'er's recklessness, Ning Xueyan thinks that Nanny Luo is an important person, and Ning Xueyan thinks that Nanny Luo is a very important person.
"Yes, the slave will be checked in a while." Qingyu nodded consciously, she and Lan Ning are the main things in the mansion, and Xinmei is needed for special things outside the mansion. Xinmei's identity, Ning Xueyan I have told Qingyu and Lanning that there are three Nanny Han.
"Xinmei, how is Luoyanyuan?" Ning Xueyan turned to Xinmei and asked at this moment.
Xinmei secretly nodded in praise, her girl is just extraordinary, and her bearing and calmness are beyond comparison for ordinary ladies in the boudoir.
Hearing Ning Xueyan's question, she quickly stepped forward and lowered her voice slightly, and replied: "Girl, the servant was just guarding there, and when she saw the maid holding the account book come in and send the account book to the house, there was no one there. , the maid said a few words to the woman who was guarding the door, and then retreated, the servant immediately tore off the outer cover, and then went to the kitchen along the way, and brought the girl's lunch."
"Where's the outer cover?" Ning Xueyan asked.
"The cover, the maidservant burned it when she came back, along with a few booklets that the girl didn't want, and then the ashes were swept away, and the windows were opened to disperse the fireworks. The girl won't be able to smell the fireworks, right? " Xinmei laughed.
That's good, there is no trace to be found, even if Ning Qingshan pulls herself up forcefully, she can't get the slightest relationship with her.
Ning Xueyan stood up, with a faint sarcasm on her lips. Ning Qingshan thought that she would fall into her schemes after all the tricks had been exhausted, but unexpectedly, so what if all the tricks were exhausted, it ended up being herself, the butler's responsibility. Right, years ago, Ning Xueyan would never let go...
