Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 1
Ning Qing walked slowly along the veranda, and when she came to the master bedroom in the north, she opened the curtain to enter, and walked around to the green gauze cabinet at the back.

A girl who looked like a servant girl was doing embroidery work. When she saw Ning Qing, she smiled and said, "Hey, why is Fifth Miss here?"

Ning Qing smiled and took her hand and sat on the couch: "My dear sister, why don't you let me come and ask for a cup of good tea?" Then she picked up the embroidery on the couch with a bright smile: "Sister Yuanxi's embroidery The work just got better and better.”

Yuan Xi burst out laughing: "Good girl, tell me what you want me to do! Don't put a high hat on me."

Ning Qing stretched out her sleeves and pursed her mouth: "The first time I made a new summer shirt, this is the first time I got on it, and I hooked it to pieces!"

"The old lady usually said that the girls have grown up after coming and going, and those who talk about kisses talk about kisses, and those who are engaged, don't jump around anymore."

Yuan Xi nagged a lot, and Ning Qing secretly complained.This Yuan Xi really deserves to be the most embarrassing maid in front of her grandmother, who is always sharing the burden for her and educating them.

But the clothes are so badly torn, and Yuan Xi is the most skillful in the entire Ning family, if they don't make up for it, grandma might have another fit if she sees the new clothes worth more than 100 silver!
"I mended the clothes for you this time, and next time, be careful!"

Ning Qing immediately opened her eyes and smiled. Although Yuan Xi was nagging, she didn't break her mouth. Once she agreed, she wouldn't say anything.

"Miss is waiting here, I'll get Yingse's silk thread." Yuan Xi got up and went out.

Ning Qing waited for a while, and there was a burst of laughter outside the Bisha cabinet.

"Yuanxi! Hurry up and pour tea." The auntie said loudly.

"What is it called Yuan Xi?" Second Aunt laughed crisply, "I just saw her go from the veranda. Yun Xiang, you go. Eldest sister, sit this way."

"Impossible, mother should sit down." Rou Rou's timid tone was the voice of her aunt Chen Wangfei.

"My son is still filial." Mrs. Ning said.

Ning Qing looked at Jianfeng on the screen, and saw Grandmother Ning, First Aunt Tian, ​​and Second Aunt Gu, who embraced Princess Chen to take the seat.

Ning Qing stuck out her tongue secretly, it's not easy for her to go out at this time, she naughtily scratched her clothes, and Aunt Wangfei was in front of her again, if she bumped out, it would be no wonder if grandma didn't give her a good beating afterwards!
She expected that they would not come in. If they really came in, she could only pretend to be asleep.

Ning Qing is the third daughter of the Ning family, a wealthy businessman in Yuecheng.

The Ning family's business is not a wealthy businessman, but an ordinary wealthy businessman between the first and second tiers.In front of the famous nobles and book ceremonies, he can only be regarded as a small family.

But such a small family of merchants has produced a prince and concubine!Although it was just a second wife!
The princess is naturally the aunt in front of Ning Qing.

Ten years ago, the former Concubine Chen died of illness. The Prince Chen cared for his son, so he deliberately chose a second concubine with a lower family background.
Concubine Chen has a soft temper and her natal family is weak. Even a concubine in the palace has a higher birth than her. She has no confidence in the first place. In addition, she has not even given birth to a son and a half in the past ten years, and her waist is becoming more and more unstable.

Originally, she was a bit delicate and smart when she was a girl, but now she is the high-ranking concubine Chen, but she is even more timid and dull.

Apart from weddings and weddings, Concubine Chen only goes back to her natal home three times a year, one for Chinese New Year and the other two for her parents' birthdays.

This time it was Mrs. Ning who urged her three times and four times, and Princess Chen was so quarreled that she had no choice but to go back to her mother's house under the eyes of Concubine Sun.

Mrs. Ning has always been rude to her daughter, and said straight to the point: "It's a big deal for you to come back today. I also know that you have had a hard time in the palace these years, so I specially give you an arm."
