Ordinary clear day

Chapter 148 Smile
Wanning made a decision on who would take her to Fangshan almost immediately.Qiaoyun, Yanyun and Yuehe all went, leaving only a few daughters-in-law and mother-in-law to watch the house.In fact, Qiaoyun and Yuehe, two big girls, although they don't know the specific calculations in Wanning's mind, they don't agree with her idea of ​​giving up five and four, and even more disapprove after knowing that Sifu Jin is set for Sifujin up.

Yuehe took a negative attitude towards her, while Qiaoyun was loyal to her master, even though she disagreed, she still followed Wanning's orders.Wanning thinks that they don't know the history behind them, and it's not surprising that they have such a view, as long as they are obedient.As for Yanyun, she is completely Qiaoyun's follower.

Besides, she also wanted to bring brother Fang Qing with her.Qiao Yun objected to this decision at first: "Girl, brother Fang Qing finally became a buyer, and he did a good job before. With the girl's face, he will be promoted to manager in a short time. Now take him, someone will make up for it." It's not so easy for him to find another job when he comes back."

Wanning didn't care and said: "What does it matter? With me here, are you afraid that he won't be able to take the position? When we go to Fangshan, we can't rely on the third uncle's family for everything. At least we need someone who is reliable. Running errands."

Qiao Yun thought about it too, so she didn't say any more.I don't know what Wanning said to her mother, but Nala agreed, but repeatedly told her to go to the other courtyard, to restrain her servants, not to cause trouble, and to abide by the rules there, so as not to lose the big house s face.Wanning responded indiscriminately, but her mind had already flown to nowhere.

Because Zhang Bao decided to leave the next day, from the afternoon, Wanning's room was in a mess, busy packing her luggage.Fang Ning heard the commotion here, so she came to have a look.Seeing the maids rummaging through boxes and packing a lot of clothes and jewelry, she frowned, and said: "Over there in Fangshan Bieyuan, the mountain dwelling is quiet, and there are very few people coming and going. Most of them stay in the house on weekdays and bring so many clothes and jewelry." What to do?"

Wan Ning said, "But it's just a precautionary measure, bring it with you, maybe it will be used sometime."

Fang Ning sighed, seeing that most of the clothes and jewelry they packed were simple and elegant, and there was nothing out of order, so she stopped talking and said instead: "Why does Cousin Xu Xu seem to be quite quiet? Doesn't she want to Do you want to pack your things and go together?"

Wanning was arranging jewelry, without raising her head, she said: "Who knows? She has been feeling unwell since the morning, and just now Cai'er went back to Erniang, saying that she would not go."

Fang Ning was a little surprised, so she went to Xu Xu's room to visit, and saw her lying on the bed, although her complexion was a little pale, but she looked fine, she didn't look like she was sick, so she hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

Xu Xu didn't speak, but was bored in the quilt. Her maid, Cai'er, said: "The girl has been like this since before lunch. The eldest lady asked the doctor to come and see, and the doctor couldn't tell what's wrong, but just told the girl to clean up twice. Just fine."

Fang Ning waved Cai'er down, and said to Xu Xu: "I don't think you seem to be sick. This is not good. You begged the third aunt to let you go to Fangshan, and the third aunt begged my mother to agree. , but you refused to go back and let Third Aunt's face go?" Xuxu moved her mouth, but still did not speak.

Fang Ning was silent for a while, then asked again: "Recently you seem to be avoiding the second girl, is there something on your mind?"

Xu Xu was shocked, looked at Fang Ning for a few times, her eyes were red, and said, "Sister Fang, don't ask, I won't tell." Then she buried her head in the quilt and said sullenly, " I miss my mother-in-law."

Fang Ning couldn't get any results from her questioning, so she pulled her quilt away, gave her some instructions, and left.She lingered at the door for a moment, then turned and walked towards Huaiyuan.

Fang Ning told Shu Ning about Xu Xu, Shu Ning was a little surprised, and hurriedly took Fang Ning to see her mother.Tong's said: "Just now, your mother has sent someone to tell me. It's nothing to save face. It's just that Xu girl is really sick, or is she just pretending?"

Fang Ning hurriedly told her the situation just now, Tong Shi knew what she had heard, and said: "As long as it's not a real illness, it's fine, I'm afraid there is something upset in your heart, and you can tell her later that I have been in the mansion all the time. , whenever she becomes energetic, she will often come to my side for a walk." Fang Ning hastily agreed.

She hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My niece has an unfeeling request, and I want to ask my aunt to forgive me. Although that girl Chunyan is self-inflicted, she has served her niece for several years anyway, and now she has been beaten and kicked out. Going out, my niece couldn't bear it, and wanted to see her and send some things over there. I don't know...Auntie agrees?" This kind of matter is currently in the care of Tong, and she will not touch Nala's bad luck.

Tong looked at her a few times and smiled faintly: "You are kind and righteous, but it's a pity that girl has blind eyes and mistook treasures for grass. Anyway, it's okay to send some things, but she lives in the back street of our mansion now, where There are many people coming and going, you are a girl, it is not easy to go in person, just ask a maid to send it."

Fang Ning was in a bit of a dilemma. Although the newly assigned girls Guo'er and Duo'er looked honest, she didn't know the truth. She didn't know whether she should trust them or not.Shu Ning guessed her worries, and said: "If big sister can be trusted, how about letting Su Xin go? She is used to running around, and she knows the way well. Later, I will ask her to go to sister's room to listen to your orders." Fang Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked her.

When she left, Tong sneered, and said to her daughter: "You just said that Xu Xu always avoids the second girl. It seems that there is a quarrel, but the appearance of the second girl is not like that. According to me, In all likelihood, Xu Xu bumped into the second girl and did something good, so she was afraid of her. She lived well in the mansion, and was taken care of by your aunt, and suddenly came to beg me and wanted to go to Fangshan. This is a strange thing. Now that the second girl said to go, she pretended to be sick and said no, she clearly wanted to avoid the second girl."

Shu Ning nodded: "She lives in the same yard as her second elder sister, and she sees and hears more than others. Although she doesn't know what's going on, she does it a little conspicuously, and the eldest aunt can easily notice it."

Tong said: "Forget it, this child is also pitiful, her parents are not around, and she has to listen to your aunt in everything. I will take care of her more. When the second girl returns to the house, I will send her to another hospital. Save her from suffering every day."

After a pause, she said again: "Your elder sister is really a kind person, but it's a pity that girl Chunyan is too high-minded, and she misunderstood herself. Anyway, I am in charge of the marriage of servants now, because of the eldest girl's sake." For sake, let's give Chunyan a good match, so as not to spoil her appearance."

===================================================================================================== =====
In the evening, Suxin came back and reported back: "The eldest girl ordered me to send a bottle of medicine and a few taels of private room, and brought two pieces of materials, and Chunyan took them all. She couldn't get out of bed yet, she lay on the bed and pulled me Weeping with his hands, saying I'm sorry, big girl."

Shuning nodded and let her go down to rest.Suxin pursed her lips and said, "Girl, who do you think I met at Chunyan's house?" Seeing Shuning's puzzled eyes, she smiled and said, "It's the mist in the second girl's room. She sent a few packets of herbs and A bag of silver jewelry passed by, and she yelled loudly that it was ordered by their girls, and told Chunyan to recover from her injuries, and then left the things and ran away. The neighbors heard it, and Chunyan was so angry that she even dropped the cup , and asked me to help her return the things."

Shuning is full of black lines, sending medicine... Is Wanning trying to show her kindness?Insert a knife and give a sweet date?She asked, "You won't really help her pay it back, will you?"

"I'm not that stupid!" Su Xin said, "I advise Chunyan, the second girl is sorry for her anyway, and those things are not free. If you send them back, wouldn't it be cheaper for the people in the second girl's house? As a result, Chunyan Just take it."

Seeing her expression, Shuning knew that she was complaining for Chunyan.In fact, in the case of Chunyan, Wanning's behavior made many maids feel chilled, but her status is getting more and more stable now, so no one will say anything wrong with her.But Shu Ning really doesn't understand, even if Wan Ning wants to show her "seriousness", there is no need to betray a little girl?What is her plan?
Early the next morning, everyone was ready to go.The luggage that Wanning brought was fully loaded into two large carts.Seeing this, Zhang Bao frowned slightly, and got on the horse without saying anything.

Shuning kept an eye out and arranged for Wanning to ride in one car with her maids, and herself to take Suxin and Dongqing in another car, so as not to be troubled on the road.The family bid farewell, and after Shuning finally got rid of Xianning who wanted to follow, Zhang Bao and his party finally set off.

On the way, Shuning thought about what her mother, Tong Shi, had said.After returning to the other courtyard, how should she treat Wanning?You can't hide blindly, but you can't tear your face, this speed is not easy to grasp.After thinking about it, she fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly woke up and found that the carriage had stopped.After asking Suxin, I found out that they had already returned to Fangshan, and they were blocked at the intersection of the only avenue leading to the gate of the other courtyard.A group of people from nowhere blocked the gate of Lu's house, and the villagers who came from nearby gathered around to watch the excitement, causing the road to be blocked.The chariots and horses of Zhang Bao and his party could not pass through at all, so they could only stop there.

Zhang Bao sent Wang Er to inquire early on, only to find out that the young master of the Daming Prefecture prefect brought two boxes of belongings with him and wanted to propose marriage to Miss Lu's family, but the Lu family refused to die, the young master was annoyed, Blocked in front of Lu's house, refused to leave, and kept yelling.

Zhang Bao rode on his horse and watched from a distance, and felt that the gorgeously dressed young master looked hideous, so he ordered Wang Er to tell the young master to leave.Although he is the magistrate of Ding You, he has a third-rank title and is a Manchu. The young master didn't dare to offend, so he came over to say hello with a smile on his face, and led a large group of people away.Wang Er led people to disperse the surrounding villagers, and Zhang Baocai was able to enter the gate of the other courtyard.

Entering the main hall of the Second Courtyard, Zhang Bao asked his daughter and niece to sit down, and said to the niece, "Welcome to live here" and "Just treat it as being in your own home" to the niece, but vaguely hinted that she wanted to live in peace.He is now more and more majestic, sitting there with a straight face, very capable of bluffing people.Wanning seldom had contact with this third uncle, she was intimidated by him, and failed to discover his true face, so she could only sit there obediently and make promises.

After a while, the woman in the front yard came to report that Mr. Lu had come to thank her, so Zhang Bao asked his daughter to take Wanning to Zhilan Courtyard for resettlement.

Wanning walked out of the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Shuning to the backyard, feeling that she was in a new place, and her steps were gradually brisk as she felt that she was in a new place without her parents watching over her.She also looked left and right to admire the surrounding houses and flowers, and asked Shuning with a smile: "Master Lu who just said thank you, is the father of the girl whom the dude just met at the door to marry? Are you neighbors? Isn't that girl pretty?"

Shuning smiled slightly, but did not answer.When Wanning saw it, she said to herself: "It's clear that this is a scene where the officials' sons rob the civilian girls. When I heard that dude talking in the carriage, I thought it was not a good thing. If it wasn't for Yue He who insisted on holding me back... , I really want to teach him a lesson.”

Shu Ning glanced at the expressionless Yue He, and said: "Yue He did the right thing this time, my Ama and the servants are here, why does my sister have to come out by herself? Don't you be afraid of being seen by such frivolous people?" Is it?" She deliberately looked at Wanning with strange eyes.

Wan Ning was embarrassed for a while, restrained herself a little, and her steps became more steady, she changed the topic and said, "The Zhilan Courtyard is in front, right? Is that where I live?" Shu Ning followed her topic and said, "Yes, this place is usually It's empty, when the eldest sister, aunt, and cousin Xuxu came, they all lived in this courtyard, and the place is fairly clean."

While talking, they entered the courtyard gate.Wan Ning looked at it, which was bigger than her small courtyard in the Earl's Mansion. There were five or six rooms, potted orchids were placed everywhere, and several kinds of herbs were planted in the corners of the courtyard, which fit the name of the courtyard very well.

Shu Ning said: "The room here is enough for my sister's master and servants to live in. There are two women who are responsible for cleaning the courtyard. If my sister has any rough work, I can ask them to do it. It's just that this is the inner courtyard, and the male servants You are not allowed to come in easily, and the long-term follower brought by my sister can only live in the servant's room in the front yard."

She smiled slightly and continued to say to Wanning: "The courtyard next to it is where Aunt Liu's mother and son live, and the two courtyards to the west are the residences of my brother and I. Apart from that, even the main courtyard is an inner courtyard. , my sister can move around as she likes. But the front yard and the second yard are often visited by outsiders, so it may not be convenient for my sister to go there. Behind the martial arts field, there is the kitchen, warehouse and servants’ residence, and then the garden. It’s just the house According to the rules, the garden will be closed after sunset, sister must remember it well, don't miss the time."

Wanning was already a little dizzy, but Shuning still said: "I am at home on weekdays. Apart from learning homework from Mr. Cai in the morning, I also have to do housework and sewing. I don't have much free time. But if my sister has any requests , you can mention it to me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to arrange it for my sister. If my sister is really bored, you can visit Mr. Cai, he has taught my sister for several years, and he respects you very much."

Wanning thought of the very "long-winded" white-bearded old man in her memory, and said vaguely "Got it".Seeing her like this, Shu Ning didn't care, and continued: "Besides, sister can also gossip with Aunt Liu, she likes to go to a nearby nunnery to eat fast, if sister is interested, you can also go and have a look , but you must remember to bring a few more people, I will arrange for my family to follow the car. This place is different from the capital, and the place is remote. I'm in charge of the housework, so I must take good care of my sister, and I will never let you encounter any accidents, so my sister can stay here with peace of mind."

After she finished speaking, she smiled again, Wanning was taken aback, and suddenly realized that this trip seemed a little different from what she had imagined.

(Because I didn't know what to name it, I made one at random, so as not to be "untitled" for the third time...)
