Chapter 17:

After Ning Lang returned home, he baffled the few white jade birds to Ning Nuan.
Those little white jade birds are really exquisite, and even the details of the feathers on their backs are clearly carved and vivid, as if they were real. Compared to the straw animals that Ning Lang had brought back before, Ning Nuan liked it at first glance.
She was pleasantly surprised: "Brother, why did you buy this?"
"A Nuan like it?" Ning Lang said with a smile: "As long as A Nuan likes it, this is not what I bought, it was given by His Royal Highness An."
Ning Nuan paused, and raised her head in surprise: "This is given by His Royal Highness An?"
"Yeah, Wang said, he snatched your straw sparrow, and he would compensate you with a jade. I see, this jade is worth more than the straw, and it is worthy of the prince. This shot is really generous. "Ning Lang sighed.
Ning Nuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
She held the white jade bird for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "Brother, you and Wang An, have you met for the first time?"
"This is not the first time." Ning Lang solemnly said: "I saw Wang An on the street once, and I saw it again in the academy. This time I went to Wang An's mansion. It’s been three times, once it’s fresh and second it’s ripe, and three times it can be said to be perfect.
Ning Nuan: "..."
Ning Nuan was shocked.
She looked down at the exquisite jade bird in her hand, and couldn't help thinking in her heart: An Wang Tangtang, a prince, is also inconsistent with her brother?
In this world, she also met a cheeky self-acquaintance like Ning Lang. Originally thought that her brother was such a rare thing, it was unexpected that there would be a prince and Ning Lang who were like-minded, and only met for the third time. It's good enough to give gifts.
Ning Nuan collected the white jade bird and set it up in a suitable position. She stared at Jade Bird for a long time, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart: Isn't Wang An also a fool?
...
There was an additional ornament in Ning Nuan's room, which was not very eye-catching at first, but when Mother Ning took the book from her shelf, she happened to see it at a glance.
"Huh? A Nuan, when did you suddenly have this on your shelf?" Mother Ning poked Bai Yu Xiaoniao in the face and said: "Look at the strange and delicate, when I came last time, it seemed that he had never seen him. been."
"Brother sent it." Ning Nuan was writing, and the nib paused, smudging an ink dot on the rice paper. She calmed down and said, "My brother said that he saw it on the street and thought I would like it, so he bought it for me."
"He has always been thinking about you." Mother Ning said with a smile: "This jade is still the best Hetian jade, which is very valuable. He wanted to come to your brother to ask your father for money."
"How's Dad?"
"Your father, he is thinking about how to make money all day. This morning he asked me how much money he still has from the Zhuangzi shop. I told him that when he had nothing in his hands, he I was taken aback and tripped on the threshold when I went out.
Mother Ning sat down beside her, held up a handwriting she had just written, and watched it carefully, and praised her before continuing. Said: "Your father didn't want to think about it. Although the old man left him a lot of things, his two brothers and the old lady are not merciful. These years, if it weren't for the things I was alert and old man, The old lady and the brothers had already divided it up a long time ago."
"Mother? You say that, is it because Dad still has something in his hands?"
"Yes, of course. When I started, the old lady's body was no longer healthy. He distributed the things in his hands to the old lady and their three brothers. Among them, your father took the most. At that time, your father and I His relationship is not bad, and he even gave me some and asked me to help him keep it. The benefits of those shops and Zhuangzi are good, and they have saved a lot over the years."
"Daddy doesn't know?"
"If he knew, he wouldn't let his two younger brothers pull things out of his hands these years." Ning Mu sneered, "Your father, not so much heart-hearted, it's better to say that he lacks the heart, even how many things he has in his pocket. I can't take care of it, and I'm taking the mess on myself."
Ning Nuan asked, "Where are those in my mother's hands?"
Mentioning this, Ning's mother became proud: "It's not just what your father gave to me. After that, I am afraid that your father will give up all the property to others, so I will ask for it from your father in the name of you and Langer. A lot of things came here, and after careful calculation, most of them are with me."
It's just that she was smart for a short while, and then, like Ning Yanting, she was stunned by two bedrooms and three bedrooms.
It's just that, it's not easy to talk to Ning Nuan.
Ning Nuan was really surprised, as if it was the first time I met such a mother. She originally thought that the mother suddenly changed her temperament after the nightmare that day. So she was smart earlier?
She couldn't help but rejoice in her heart: Fortunately, mother wakes up early, otherwise she really can't keep anything.
She sincerely appreciated Ning Mu's foresight, and said cheerfully: "If Dad finds out in the future, she will be happy."
"In the future? Who said he was going to tell him?" Mother Ning said, "These things are all prepared for you and Lang'er. The things in your mother's hands will be divided into two, half for you and half for Lang'er, no one No less than anyone else."
Ning Nuan frowned slightly: "Mother, this is not so good."
"What's wrong? This is my thing. To whom I want to give, then give it to who, even if I give it all to you, no matter how dissatisfied your father and Lang'er are, they can still go to the yamen to tell me that I failed. Mother Ning said bitterly: "No matter how good things fall into their hands, they will still be defeated. Only A Nuan is smart, and those businesses will definitely become more and more in your hands. Prosperous."
Ning Nuan was very embarrassed by her.
She pursed her lips, and whispered, "My brother is still young. After a few years, he will naturally become what my mother expected. My brother is a man who stands up and down, and he will not let my mother down."
Mother Ning responded casually, but didn't think so in her heart.
After her A Nuan married into the palace, he took care of the entire palace in good order. Who wouldn't say that King An married a good princess? How about Ninglang? Until she died, she was still an unlearned dude, and instead of becoming an indomitable person to protect her sister, she let his sister clean up the mess for him.
Ning mother felt distressed when she thought of this.
At that time, Ning's Mansion was a lot of things, she was negligent for a while, and she didn't realize that Ning Lang was fooled by his friends, but when she found out, it was too late.
She has no masters, and Ning Yanting can't take care of herself. She had to go to the palace and beg A Nuan. At that time, it hadn’t been a few years since A Nuan was married, but she had lost her glamour in her boudoir, her eyebrows and eyes were full of exhaustion. The chaos in the palace had consumed most of her mind, and she had to take care of Ning’s scum舎事.
At the end of the day, the snow was heavy, and she and A Nuan talked about Ning Lang's affairs, and she was very nervous, for fear that A Nuan would object. But A Nuan didn't say anything at that time, but was silent for a long time, and then sighed deeply. She accidentally touched A Nuan's fingers, and her tentacles were cold, colder than the winter snow that had accumulated on the ground outside the courtyard.
That sigh reached the bottom of Ning's heart, leaving her dead and alive. She had gone through a cycle, but she still couldn't forget.
Her Nuan is good everywhere, the only thing that is not good is that she spread it among their family members. It should have been the pearl in the palm of her hand, but the pearl was mixed in the dust and was dragged by them, losing everything. Glorious.
Ning Yanting, Ning Lang, or her. She blamed Ning Yanting, Ninglang, and herself.
In her last life, she thought she was eager for everyone, but she was still trembling and complaining. She was confused all her life, but she didn't wake up until after death. She was worthy of anyone, except for her A Nuan.
Her Nuan is in every way good, but they are tired of it after all.
...
Although he verbally agreed to the old lady, it still took a lot of effort to raise money.
After agreeing in the usual way, Ning Yanting would be ready to deliver the things the next day at the earliest. This time, Ning Qing waited for several days, but before her jewelry came back, she hurried to complain to the old lady.
The old lady was very displeased, and called Ning Yanting over again, banged on the side, and mentioned the goodness of the two younger brothers to him, so that he should not forget this matter.
Where can Ning Yanting dare to forget?
He responded bitterly, and looked back out of the old lady's yard, still frowning.
Not long after he returned to the yard, Ning Yanhai hurriedly came over and knocked on his door. Seeing that it was him, Ning Yanting felt tight in his heart, thinking that he was fancying something to let himself buy it, and subconsciously shut the door.
"Hey, big brother, don't close, don't close the door." Ning Yanhai stepped into the room with a displeased expression: "Big brother, what's wrong with you today? I've seen me, but I still have to close the door, could it be Deliberately fail?"
Ning Yanting sneered: "Of course not, I...I also didn't pay attention for a while."
"Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore." Ning Yanhai waved his hand and confidently said: "Big Brother, I am looking for you this time, and there is something I want to ask you for help."
Ning Yanting touched his purse subconsciously.
Shriveled.
Seeing his actions, Ning Yanhai frowned again: "Big brother, what are you doing? Isn't it true that every time the younger brother comes back to you, he is trying to make you pay?"
Ning Yanting hurriedly said: "Why, third brother, how can eldest brother miss you like this."
"I know that Big Brother is good to us." Ning Yanhai looked around and lowered his voice: "Big Brother, in fact, when I come back to look for you, there are things I want you to help."
Ning Yanting: "..."
Ning Yanhai: "Big brother, I know what you are worrying about during this time, right? It's about Ning Qing's marriage? Actually, this matter is because the second brother did not do the right thing. How can Ning Qing get married when she gets married? ."
"Third brother, don't say that." Ning Yanting quickly retorted: "Between our brothers, whoever has difficulties, of course we help each other. I am older than you, so how can I look at you when you have difficulties but remain indifferent. "
Ning Yanhai rolled his eyes in his heart, but he was relieved again. He approached Ning Yanting and whispered: "Big brother, are you short of money?"
"what?"
During this period of time, Ning Yanting was buckling, and he could tell at a glance.
"Brother, I have a small favor here for you to help. If you help me, I will give you silver, and you can buy jewelry for Ning Qing, how about it?"
Ning Yanting subconsciously said, "How can my eldest brother ask for your money?" But his ears were erected uncontrollably, and he listened carefully to what Ning Yanhai said.
Ning Yanhai reached his ear and spoke to him in a low voice.
After listening to Ning Yanting, his eyes widened immediately: "What?!"
