Is Shizi ill today?

Chapter 166 Prepare Something Different
Xie Ningrou looked at the closed door in front of him, took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

Shan Hongwen looked at her without looking back, sneered in his heart, and threw the things in his hand on the ground.

In the room, Liu Cui was a little surprised to see her young lady coming in so quickly, and looked behind her.

"Miss, you didn't invite Master Biao to come in and sit down?"

Xie Ningrou's complexion was a bit bad: "If he comes again in the future, we will drive him away!"

Liu Cui was stunned for a moment, looking at the master in front of her, a little confused: "Miss, did you quarrel with Master Biao?"

"Master Biao? He's just a servant of the Shen family!"

Xie Ningrou said bitterly with resentment in her heart.

Liu Cui didn't dare to speak out.

Xie Ningrou thought of something, and changed the topic: "How much money do we have?"

Liu Cui turned around and took out a brocade box after a while. After opening it, there were only two ingots of silver in it, a total of 20 taels, which they had saved from living frugally these days.

"Miss, my aunt's birthday is coming soon, I'm afraid this money is not enough, the things that the second prince gave before, it's better..."

"No way!" Xie Ningrou immediately interrupted, she had sold two things for Shan Hongwen before, she had been terrified for several days, if she misappropriated it again, someone would find out, the consequences would be disastrous...

"But if the money is used, what will the young lady do if there is an emergency in the future? I'm afraid my aunt will look down on the things I bought for 20 taels!"

Xie Ningrou also thought of this, frowned slightly, and sat down.

After a while, she sighed lightly: "Since you can't buy good things with this money, then don't use it."

Now her marriage is still in the hands of her aunt, and she will be seventeen soon, and if she doesn't talk about marriage, in the future, as Shen Qianrui said, she can only marry a widower to fill in the house.

Xie Ningrou's expression gradually became serious.

On Auntie's birthday, there will definitely be a lot of dignitaries coming over. If she is treated lightly, Auntie might not be interested in her marriage.

Since she didn't have the money to buy expensive ones, she could only take a chance and spend some time preparing something different.

She scanned the room with her eyes, and her eyes fell on the pillow at the head of the bed, and she immediately had an idea in her mind.

The next day, Xie Ningrou came out of Fulan Courtyard and led Liu Cui to the back garden of Shen's house.

"Miss, this basket is full, we'd better come back tomorrow."

Xie Ningrou looked at the bamboo basket in her hand, nodded slightly, and stood up.

But just after taking two steps, I saw the hibiscus flowers blooming not far away.

My aunt likes hibiscus flowers the most. If I use this pair of pillows as a birthday present for my aunt, she will be happy.

Xie Ningrou thought for a while, then turned to Liu Cui who was beside her and said, "Go back first and get another basket, and I'll pick some more."

"Miss, it's going to rain, let's go back early." Liu Cui disagreed a little, if it was after dinner time, she would have to look at the faces of those old women when she went to the kitchen.

Xie Ningrou looked at the dark sky and shook his head: "If it rains, these petals won't be usable tomorrow."

Seeing that her master was determined, Liu Cui couldn't say anything, she could only swallow the dissatisfaction in her throat.

After Liu Cui left, Xie Ningrou squatted down, picked off the petals little by little and put them in the basket.

After a while, footsteps came from behind.

Xie Ningrou paused her hand, a little displeased: "It's not obedient to ask you to go back to get something, could it be that you also despise me?"

"How could it be? Beauty, my young master loves you so much."
