Chapter 299 Bad things turn into good things

"Niuniu, my brother said that after the ceremony, he will take me to the horse farm to play during his day off. Do you want to go with us? I will send a message to pick you up." Qin Jingshu whispered to Niuniu.

Niu Niu's eyes suddenly lit up. She had ridden in a carriage but had never ridden a horse. She also liked Qin Jing very much.

But Niuniu suddenly thought of Qin Er and asked in a low voice, "Who else is going?"

Qin Jingshu also replied in a low voice: "There are also the brothers and sisters of the Song family. Sister Song is my brother's fiancée."

When Niuniu heard this, she immediately felt relieved and asked again: "Can I go alone? Can I take my brother with me? Can I take Brother Changfeng and Sister Ling with me? Am I asking too much?"

Qin Jingshu nodded and said, "Of course no problem."

The two little girls had been playing for a while when a nanny with a serious face came over.

"Miss, Madam asked you to go to the flower hall to meet the guests." The old nanny said with a cold face.

A hint of reluctance flashed across Qin Jingshu's face.

But the old nanny continued to put pressure on her: "Miss, today is the eldest young master's big day. Madam is doing this for the good of you and the eldest young master. You must listen to Madam's words."

Qin Jingshu was forced to stand up and said to Niuniu, "Niuniu, I'll take you to Sister Ling first."

The old lady wanted to say something to urge her, but Qin Jingshu said to her with a serious face: "Taking care of guests is the way to treat guests."

The old nanny was speechless then. She watched Qin Jingshu send Niuniu to Shen Ling. After hesitating for a long time, she returned to the flower hall with the old nanny.

"Jingshu really looks like the little master now." Shen Ling joked with Niuniu with a smile.

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "Jingshu is amazing!"

Niuniu asked again: "Sister Ling, is this sister your friend? She looks so beautiful."

Shen Ling then remembered that she had not introduced the two yet, and hurriedly said, "This is Sister Shuyun from the Li family. Sister Shuyun, this is Master Gu's daughter, her full name is Gu Xi, we all call her Niuniu or Guaibao."

Li Shuyun couldn't help feeling happy when she saw the obedient and soft appearance of the little girl.

"How old are you this year?" Li Shuyun asked, holding Niuniu's hand.

The child's hands are white and tender. Holding them in the palm of your hand feels like holding a piece of warm jade, making you want to hold them for a while longer.

"I'm six years old. How old are you, sister?" Niu Niu asked back.

Li Shuyun couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm fifteen years old."

Niuniu tilted her head slightly and said, "Sister, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often. It hurts me to see you frowning all the time."

If a man says this, it will only sound greasy.

But when it's said by a six-year-old girl, it just sounds cute.

Li Shuyun couldn't help laughing at this moment. She reached out and hugged Niuniu in her arms and asked, "At your age, you know how to feel sorry for others?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "Sister is beautiful. Niuniu likes beautiful sisters. Sister should be happy and have no worries."

Li Shuyun felt relieved when she heard this, but she still couldn't help but feel nostalgic for herself, saying, "When people grow up, they will have many worries. How can they not have worries?"

Niuniu shook her head: "Maybe my sister is lucky, even if she has troubles, she can solve them quickly."

"It would be great if it could be solved," Li Shuyun said casually. Niuniu grabbed her hand and said, "My father just taught me a poem: After many twists and turns, you may think there is no way out, but after dark, you may find another village. Who knows, in a few days, the bad news will turn into good news."

Although Li Shuyun felt that this possibility was not high, she couldn't bear to reject the child's kindness, so she said, "Thank you very much, Niuniu, for your kind words. If a bad thing really turns into a good thing, I will thank Niuniu properly."

Niuniu said: "Sister is kind-hearted, everything will definitely go smoothly."

Shen Ling smiled and said, "Sister Li, you don't know Niuniu. She is the sweetest one. But this girl is also accurate in her words. Good things always come true. She is really a little lucky star!"

Li Shuyun laughed when she heard this and said, "Then I'll count on Niuniu!"

The three of them sat on the waterside corridor for a while. Shen Ling was afraid that the little girl Niuniu would feel bored, so she got up and took her to visit the garden.

"The first Duke of Xian was one of the eight founding pillars of the country. This house was granted by the Emperor Taizu. It is said that it was the residence of a prince in the previous dynasty. It covers a very large area. The garden of the Duke of Xian's mansion is also very exquisite. When my mother built the garden, she sent someone to come and ask for advice."

Shen Ling acted as a tour guide for Niu Niu while she was strolling around.

This time she was at Duke Xian's mansion. Unlike her previous visits to her own garden, she specially brought several maids with her in order to avoid perverts like Qin Er.

Although they were feeding the fish in the water pavilion before, they were very cautious in their movements because they were afraid of accidentally falling into the water like Princess Rongjia and ending up with an unwanted marriage.

Niuniu couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder I always felt that this garden looked familiar, it turned out to be because of this reason."

After hearing this, Shen Ling didn't think much about it, but said: "There is also a Erqiao peony in the garden of the Duke of Xian's Mansion. It is in bloom now. It seems that only the Duke of Xian's Mansion and the palace have it in the entire capital."

Shen Ling casually pulled a maid who was passing by, and the maid pointed her in a direction.

The group walked in that direction. There were many people who wanted to see the Erqiao Peony like them, and they met many familiar ladies along the way.

Shen Ling and others had to greet each other when they met, which wasted quite a bit of time.

"Mrs. Li."

Shen Ling had just met a lady, and after walking a few steps, he took Niuniu to greet Madam Li who was walking towards them.

Madam Li is the wife of the second master of the Xianguo Mansion. She was already very busy with the banquet at the Mansion today and was about to rush to the waterside pavilion.

Mrs. Li was planning to take a quick glance, but unexpectedly, after her eyes swept over Niu Niu, she stopped.

"Whose girl is this? I have never seen her before." Mrs. Li asked with a smile.

When Niu Niu visited the wife of Duke Xianguo before, Madam Li was not in the flower hall. This was the first time she saw Niu Niu.

After listening to Shen Ling's introduction, Madam Li's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Mr. Gu, so you are the son of the top scholar. I vaguely remember that the top scholar is from Guanglin Prefecture?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously.

Madam Li's eyes flashed with a dark light, and she asked the maid behind her to hand a purse to Niuniu: "Child, I like you just by looking at you. You must accept this little gift from me."

Shen Ling nodded and motioned for Niu Niu to accept the gift.

Seeing that Madam Li seemed to want to continue asking questions, Shen Ling took the initiative to say, "Madam, we want to go see the Erqiao plant."

Mrs. Li then gave up, but she, who should have been in a hurry, stopped where she was and looked at Niu Niu's back for a long time.
