Chapter 24:

The second lady's life has been a bit difficult recently.
Things have to start after Ning Yanting was injured. Since Ning Yanting was injured, and from that ginseng, Ning Mu has repeatedly found excuses to come to Erfang, asking for ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Not only did she use the precious medicinal materials and supplements in the warehouse I took a lot of excuses and even demanded the cost of food and clothing.
The second wife was very reluctant. In her heart, she took care of the affairs of the Ning family's inner house, and the key to the warehouse was in her hands. The things in the warehouse belonged to the second room. Jiang Yunlan made excuses time and time again. The thing is obviously to cut her flesh.
For a while, I felt that there was something lacking in Ning Yanting’s room, so I took away the valuable antique vases in the warehouse, and suddenly said that Ning Yanting was uncomfortable lying down, and took away the precious fabrics and satin in the warehouse... One after another, but the second wife couldn't even say her refusal.
No way, who would let Jiang Yunlan count the things in the warehouse clearly? If she shied away from the warehouse, Jiang Yunlan would go to the old lady. If she shied away from the irregularities, Jiang Yunlan would show Ning Yanting out again. .
After all, Jiang Yunlan is the righteous mother of the Ning family. The three Ning family brothers have not separated yet, and the key to the warehouse should also be in Jiang Yunlan's hands.
If the second wife had to resist again, Ning Mu would threaten her to go to the government and let the government break the housework. When the time comes, a hat that oppresses the elder brother is buckled, and the second wife can't take it off even if she wants to.
The second lady hated her, but she couldn't help it.
She deliberately wanted to find the old lady. If the old lady came forward, she would definitely be on the side of their second room, but Ning's mother looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. If she really went to find the old lady, I'm afraid I really want to see the government.
The second lady is not afraid of the government, but more of the Jiang family behind her.
So even though the second lady was reluctant in her heart, she still lost her smile and gave those things to Ning Mu.
When she remembered before going to bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Ning Yanwen said impatiently: "What is bothering you?"
The second lady sat up quickly and told him the matter.
Hearing this, Ning Yanwen couldn't help being serious. He also had the same idea in his mind as the second wife. Although Ning Yanting was in charge of the Ning family on the surface, privately, because of the old lady’s eccentricity, he had long regarded everything about the Ning family as his own. The mother moved all the good things to Ning Yanting, and Ning Yanwen couldn't sit still.
"How can you let it go so easily?" He scolded: "Let her move on like this, before the elder brother gets better, I'm afraid the warehouse will be emptied."
The second wife said aggrieved: "I just thought, after the eldest brother is healed, we will be able to come back."
But even if I was coming back, I had eaten it before, and how I thought about it was different.
The couple looked at each other and made up their minds together.
The next day, Ning Yanting was resting in the house, waiting for another guest.
"Big Brother."
"Second brother, why are you here?" Ning Yanting said: "You are not on duty today?"
"Xiemu today, I think about the injury of my eldest brother, so I will come to see my eldest brother." Ning Yanwen said: "Big brother, how do you feel about your health?"
Ning Yanting sneered in his heart, and said: "I also blame me for being injured and inconvenient to move. I didn't go to court in the past few days. I actually forgot about Xiumu. The second brother is worried. I feel much better. I want to come for half a month. From now on, you will be able to land smoothly."
"That's good." Ning Yanwen let out a long sigh of relief, very happy for him.
He had a gossip with Ning Yanting, and the topic finally touched on the purpose of his coming.
Ning Yan Wenzhuang casually said: "Fortunately, the doctor said that the older brother only needs to rest for half a month. If it is half a year, I am afraid that our Ning family can't afford it."
Ning Yanting's heart moved slightly, but his face was puzzled: "Second brother, what about this?"
Ning Yanwen looked at him hesitantly.
"Second brother, if you have something to say, what can't we say between our brothers?"
"Since the eldest brother said so, the younger brother said so." Ning Yanwen sighed and said: "The eldest brother also knows. These days, my sister-in-law worried about the eldest brother, so she specially asked for a lot of good things from the public school. "
As he said, he looked around, and he saw new furnishings in the room that he had never seen before. With Ning Yanwen's eyesight, it is not difficult to see the high value.
He swallowed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said bitterly and deeply: "The younger brother also knows that the sister-in-law is worried about the eldest brother, and she is eager for a while, but the sister-in-law is taking things from the public, if it is once or twice, it will be fine. The number of times is too much, it is really...Don't blame me, brother, but the wife is pressing hard, and the younger brother can only come to the eldest brother cheeky."
"Yunlan goes to the public school to get things?"
"Yes, brother, you usually drink ginseng soup, but the decorations in this room are just brought by the public school."
Ning Yanting was puzzled: "What's wrong with this?"
"Actually...Huh?" Ning Yanwen was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, what did you just say?"
"I said, what's wrong with this?" Ning Yanting said calmly: "Our Ning family hasn't separated yet, aren't these things just from the public?"
"……what?"
"The second brother may have forgotten. I brought back a set of enamel decorations from outside. I originally wanted to give it to Yunlan. But when I brought it back, something might have gone wrong. It was actually charged to the public account. Go up, when I go to ask for it again, that Falangcai has been taken away by the second brother. If the second brother says he likes it, then give it to the second brother. Our Ning family three brothers have always been like this, regardless of you and me, the second brother, you Say yes?"
Ning Yanwen choked suddenly, not knowing how to answer.
"Usually, the second brother and the third brother liked what they liked, and there was no distinction between public and private. A few years ago, the second brother, you wanted to repair a village in the outskirts of Beijing, but you were tight and couldn't get the money. Your account?"
Ning Yanwen: "..."
Ning Yanting said lightly: "Yunlan just took a few ginseng and a few ornaments from the warehouse. Yunlan has a sense of measure. It's not worth the second brother's fright. Our Ning brothers have good feelings, no I divide you and me. If whoever suffers, the other two will help each other. Now I am injured accidentally and need some ginseng to replenish my body. I am missing something in the house, so naturally I also need a new one. Second brother, dont you agree?"
Ning Yanwen was directly questioned whether these two sentences were right.
Ning Yanting's reaction was so different from what he imagined, he really didn't know how to answer.
This...what is going on?
Couldn’t it be that after he finished talking with Ning Yanting, Ning Yanting looked guilty and angry, and told him that he would persuade Jiang Yunlan to persuade Jiang Yunlan and would not let Jiang Yunlan do such an excessive thing again, if he should work harder , Maybe you can still get compensation from Ning Yanting, but... but why... is it that way?
What about guilt?
What about anger?
What Ning Yanting said, Falangcai and the courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, Ning Yanwen had some impressions, but he never expected that Ning Yanting would remember this matter so firmly. Now that he was moved out to say that, it seemed that he was not reasonable.
Ning Yanwen seemed to choke his tongue, unable to say a word.
He is usually used to being a human being, especially in front of Ning Yanting. Relying on the little things he had when he was a child, he made Ning Yanting feel guilty every time, and he could take the initiative to send it up without saying his purpose. But now it's fine, his purpose is to speak out, but Ning Yanting blocked him back!
Ning Yanwen looked at him with horror and horror, as if he had only known him the first day.
Ning Yanting pretended to be puzzled: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Big brother..." Ning Yanwen opened his mouth and settled down before saying again: "That's what I said, but I'm afraid that the third brother..."
"The third brother will definitely not say anything." Ning Yanting interrupted him, his face still looked like brothers and sisters: "Our three brothers are united, how we think, the third brother must think so too. Besides, Yunlan only brought something from her father. The second and third brothers also did this. Yunlan took a lot in this breath, but it was the first time that it was compared to the second and third brothers. Brother, it's incomparable."
The implication is that you have all taken so much, so I am not allowed to take a little too?
Can he tell?
Of course he can't!
Ning Yanwen opened his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words back with an ugly expression.
Ning's house affairs are very chaotic, because the second room is in charge, and the second room takes the biggest advantage, but again, the third room is not too small. Of the Ning family’s three brothers, the second and third are indeed brothers who work together to take advantage of the boss. Because of this relationship, the relationship between the second wife and the third wife is fairly good, and they manage them together. Internal affairs, no one is willing to suffer. Therefore, whenever there is something good, the two will try their best to pull on their side, treating the public treasury as their own private treasury. Fortunately, Ning Yanting was still there, and Ning Mansion didn't fall inside.
Ning Yanting asked: "Second brother, what else do you have?"
Ning Yanwen paused, and then asked: "Brother, about sister Qing's dowry..."
Ning Yanting's eyes moved slightly, and his face calmly said: "Second brother, don't worry, third brother and I are both Ning Qing's uncles, how could we treat her badly."
Because of what happened just now, Ning Yanwen was a little absent-minded, and didn't realize that he had brought Ning Yanhai with him. Listening to Ning Yanting's pillow, Ning Yanwen breathed a sigh of relief.
He also said: "It's true that my brother has also fancyed one more recently..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Yanting: "If this is the case, my second brother will go to the public school to get the silver."
"……what?"
Ning Yanting glanced at him strangely: "Can't it?"
"...Okay." Ning Yanwen gritted his teeth and responded: "The eldest brother said that I want to make trouble. Then the younger brother will not disturb the eldest brother, the eldest brother will have a good rest, and I will see you next time."
Ning Yanting gave a hum.
He thought in his heart: Since he woke up, he has been lying in bed for many days, except for the first day, this is the only time. Obviously living together in Ningfu, but Ning Yanwen only came twice. , Next time? Maybe next time you wait until he gets better, right?
Ning Yanting couldn't make any waves in his heart.
He looked at the back of Ning Yanwen leaving, and he felt a little happy.
In the last life, he treated his two younger brothers heartily, but in the end he got such a fate. He wronged his family and himself. In the end, he didn’t even get what he thought he had. Before he died, he was wronged. It is unwilling and regretful.
He has long been accustomed to being obedient to his younger brothers. When he was a child, he was told by the old lady. Later, he had become a subconscious reaction. When his younger brothers asked, no matter how difficult things were, he would agree. But when he refused, he realized that he was in such a good mood.
Ning Yanting's gaze fell on the newly replaced ornaments in the house.
He pondered in his heart and thought: This jade is not good-looking, so why not replace it with agate?
...
Ning Lang was cleaned up by Ning Mu, and he really never dared to mention anything about King An again.
Although he didn't know why Mother Ning was so jealous of King An, he had never used his mind or thought about it. After his grievances were over, there was only boring left.
Since that day, Mr. Ning’s requirements for him have become stricter than before. Originally, he was only required to go to school every day and not play truant, but now it’s better to let Xiao Si watch his every move and everything he does. , Will be recorded by the young man, if anyone has too close contacts with, she will be told to Ning Mu.
Every move was being monitored, which made Ning Lang very uncomfortable.
What made him even more worried was his sweetheart.
He knew that the identity of that sweetheart would not satisfy Mother Ning, and now that he was stared at by the young man, he was even more afraid to find his sweetheart, for fear that she might find something wrong.
But if he couldn't see it for a day, he could still bear it, but if he couldn't see it for two or three days, he couldn't bear it.
On the other hand, Ning Nuan asked Xiangtao to find someone to investigate, and finally there was a result.
"Young Master often ran to Hulu Alley some time ago." Xiangtao said, "I have to go there almost every day. I first go to Hulu Alley and then go home. The old lady cares that Young Master can not play truant, but does not care when he come back."
"Who lives in Calabash Alley?"
At the mention of this, Xiangtao's face immediately showed inexplicable expression.
She is about the same age as Ning Nuan, Ning Nuan is young, and so is she. After Xiang Tao heard the results of the investigation, her face flushed and was ugly for a long time, but it hasn’t been relieved until now. Miss listen. Fragrant peach has a difficult face, I don't know if I should say it.
Ning Nuan frowned: "What can't you say about this?"
"No, it's just...Miss, if you hear it, don't be angry." Xiangtao took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and added to her ear: "The servant girl heard about Gourd Alley , Lived a lot of prostitutes."
Ning Nuan's face turned pale.
"You, what did you say?!" Ning Nuan clenched his fists: "You said that brother often runs to Hulu Alley, yes, yes..."
"Miss, don't worry." Xiangtao said quickly: "The slaves and maids have also inquired about that. Not everyone in Hulu Alley does this kind of business. There are also a lot of white people living in it. The sweetheart of the young master, I think it is like that. From the Qing white man."
But they all live next to the prostitutes. Ordinary people have long thought of moving away. If they are a good girl, how can they live there with peace of mind?
Xiangtao quickly poured her a cup of hot tea.
Holding a hot cup in his hand, Ning Nuan calmed down.
"How many people know about this matter?"
"The eldest master and that person haven't been known for long. It seems that it was introduced by a friend of the eldest master's." Ning Lang's friends, friends, don't know where he got it, and there are also rogues, and it is not surprising that they will know Hulu Alley. "Except for those friends of the young master, not many people know about it."
"That's good." Ning Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiangtao, go and talk to your mother, tell her...No, these days, mother's requirements for brother are already very strict." Doesn't this even dare not see the sweetheart? "But if you want to cure it, you still have to let your brother give up on that person."
If she guessed correctly, it is estimated that the elder brother was cheated by his friend again.
Although she hadn't seen her brother's friends, she also knew that they were all dudes and had never done a serious thing. Since her brother's friendship with those people, she has deteriorated day by day.
On the contrary, now, since Ning's mother was ruthlessly disciplined, Ning Lang had less contact with those friends. He went to the academy obediently and was more motivated than before, and became friends with Wang An.
Although Ning Nuan wasn't sure why An Wang and Ning Lang had a good relationship, it seemed that An Wang was much friendlier than those friends. Ning Nuan couldn't help thinking in his heart: It would be great if all of his brother's friends could be as good as An Wang.
Ning Nuan thought, suddenly thinking about it.
She knew how her elder brother valued An Wang's friend.
If she is kind enough to persuade her, her elder brother will not necessarily listen to her. If she asks her mother and dad to come forward, she might even let her elder brother show his rebellious mentality.
But what if Wang An can come forward?
No, there is no need to come forward, what if she can use An Wang?
