Chapter 25:

Ning Yanting lay in bed for more than half a month before finally being able to go to the ground.
He first went to the yamen to cancel his leave. After he got acquainted with the official business that had fallen during this period, he exchanged greetings with familiar and unfamiliar colleagues before finally starting to handle official business again. She has processed many contents in her previous life, and Ning Yanting still has some vague impressions, so the processing speed is not slow.
When it was time to rest at noon, Ning Mu sent someone to deliver his medicine. The decoction is packed in a food box and keeps heat well. When Ning Yanting took it out from Ningfu to Yamen, the bowl wall was still hot.
When a colleague saw him drinking the medicine, he couldn't help but curiously said, "Master Ning, you have suffered such a serious injury, don't you not report to the official? This beating of the court commander is a felony. If the attack is more serious, Master Ning... Could it be that What happened, Lord Ning planned to give up?"
Hearing the words, Ning Yanting first glanced at his colleague while hesitating to say something. He opened his mouth to say something, but his face quickly became embarrassing. He sighed heavily, and then he said nothing.
His move actually raised the curiosity of his colleagues.
"Master Ning? Is this...Is there anything we can say about this?" Several colleagues approached, and they couldn't help being cautious: "Could Master Ning offend someone?"
Ning Yanting sighed and said bitterly: "If someone really offends someone, who will do such insidious things, if it's me..."
He was shocked, realizing that he had missed something, and hurriedly stopped talking, and concealed: "My lord, this is a family matter, so don't ask."
Housework? !
This is so good, could it be that the family was labeled like that?
The colleagues glanced at each other and didn't ask any more. They dispersed, but couldn't help wondering what Nangyanting hadn't finished saying. You know how good Master Ning is to his family, that is known to all. Ning Yanting is a well-known filial son. He treats his two younger brothers generously. Occasionally, a young man directly asks for money from the yamen. He also gives it very happily. In the daily life, he always treats both of them. Brother's maintenance.
Ning Yanting's relationship with his family is all in their eyes. Now listening to Ning Yanting's hesitation, I can't help preconceivedly have prejudice against Ning family.
What kind of hatred and hatred can you label your own big brother like this? Even if he didn't report to an official after suffering such a serious injury, Lord Naning was too indulgent towards his two brothers. The colleagues shook their heads and sighed in their hearts, but no one said what was in their hearts.
Ning Yanting will be seriously injured, after all, it is because of Ning Yanhai. Ever since he was unconscious and brought back by the young man, Ning Yanhai has been avoiding him without appearing in front of him. After finally waiting for him to walk down the ground, Ning Yanhai finally appeared evasively.
After Ning Yanting finished his official duties and returned to Ning Mansion in a sedan chair, Ning Yanhai stopped him as soon as he stepped into the gate.
"Big brother." Ning Yanhai leaned in front of him fawningly: "Big brother, how is your injury?"
Ning Yanting looked at him coldly.
In the past half month, even Ning Yanwen has been here several times, but the culprit Ning Yanhai has never appeared, not only has a guilty conscience, he has not taken him to heart. Now that he wakes up, he doesn't understand how, compared to the second brother who is used to pretending, the third brother almost cares nothing about him, but he seemed to be blindfolded in his previous life. I can't find this.
Ning Yanting said coldly: "Thank you for your third brother's concern. My injury is much better, and now I can move normally."
"That's good, that's good." Ning Yanhai said diligently, "Big brother, I can't help you with this matter. It's just that the younger brother knows that the eldest brother has always been broad-minded, so he will definitely not care about this little thing. Big brother, younger brother still. I forgot to thank you, thanks to my big brother who helped me a lot, but..."
As he said, his brows frowned, and his face was embarrassed.
Ning Yanting sneered in his heart, but did not follow his words to ask, but said: "The third brother said before, let me help, when will it be given to me?"
"I...huh?" Ning Yanhai was dumbfounded.
Why doesn't this silly big brother ask him about this matter? reward? What kind of compensation? Oh, yes, when he persuaded Ning Yanting, he did say that if Ning Yanting was willing to help, he would help solve Ning Qing's jewelry.
But what he said was just talking, why did the eldest brother really want it?
Ning Yanhai was annoyed in his heart, and his tone was a little bad: "Big Brother and I have such a relationship, is it possible that he still suspects me?"
"I don't dare to doubt. It's just that more than half a month has passed and my third brother has not paid me." Ning Yanting sighed and said: "Third brother, you don't know anything, your sister-in-law is now connected. I don’t want to give me half money anymore. The eldest brother really can’t get any money out of his pocket, but the second brother is still waiting, but fortunately, the third brother promised me before and said he was willing to help me. Share some, brother really doesn’t know how to thank you."
I don't know how to thank you, so don't mention it!
Ning Yanhai's expression was hard to look at all at once, and he immediately said, "It's true that I want to ask my eldest brother to borrow money..."
"Borrow money? What money to borrow? If it was in the past, the eldest brother would have taken it out immediately, but now...oh." Ning Yanting sighed again, he took out the money bag from his arms, opened it, and fell down. , Empty, nothing: "If the third brother is not tight, I still want to ask the third brother to borrow money."
"I!?"
Ning Yanting interrupted him: "Speaking of which, my third brother sent a young man to me and asked me to pay a lot of money. The money has not been returned to me yet. Now it happens that we are all at home. Why don't you give it back to Big Brother now."
Ning Yanhai immediately retorted: "No!"
"Don't say that to the third brother. The second brother is still waiting for my money. If the third brother pays back the money, I can go and prepare the dowry for Ning Qing." Ning Yanting smiled: "Ning Qing Married to a good family, the second brother is right, and the dowry should also be prepared."
"His daughter is married, what does it matter to me!"
"You forgot what my mother said. The three of our brothers have to work together. Who is in trouble, don't you need to help?" Ning Yanting said with a smile, "I also forgot how much money I have, so, third brother It is enough to pay me five thousand taels, so that the debt between us will be bought and sold."
"Five thousand liang?!" Ning Yanhai widened his eyes: "Where can I find five thousand liang for you?"
Ning Yanting looked disappointed: "Is the third brother unwilling?"
Of course he is not willing!
Five thousand taels of silver, who would be willing to replace it?
At the thought of taking out so much money for him, Ning Yanhai seemed to vomit blood, and his face sank. He opened his mouth to refuse, but Ning Yanting took the lead, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "The eldest brother is waiting in the room, and the third brother will bring the silver here tonight. Ning Qing's marriage can't be delayed. Go down."
After finishing speaking, Ning Yanting didn't even give him a chance to speak, he lifted his foot and walked away from here quickly, his footwork was not like a person recovering from a serious illness.
Duliu Ning Yanhai stood there dumbfounded, and after a long time, he took a breath and sweared and left.
What about Ning Qing's marriage? Wanting to take away five thousand taels from his hand is simply wishful thinking!
But I can’t ask my eldest brother for help with the silver matter. He has to think about it, who else can help him solve this matter...
...
Ning Yanting walked quickly back to the yard and kept going all the way. When he walked to the house and stopped, he was sweating profusely and panting.
Mother Ning raised her head in surprise and looked at him: "What's wrong with this? Is it possible that someone is chasing you behind?"
"I met my third brother at the door when I got home."
Ning's heart tightened.
I heard Ning Yanting say again: "He seems to want to ask me to borrow money, but where I can lend him money, I asked him to ask for the money he owed me, and then he came back."
Mother Ning glanced at him with a faint smile: "A lot of things have been added to this room. If you take it out again, you can get back some silver."
Ning Yanting: "..."
Ning Yanting felt choked and felt even more painful when he thought that he originally took things out to to raise money, and the big heads of silver flowed into the pockets of the two white-eyed wolf brothers.
If he could come back sooner, how many jewelry could those silver buy for A Nuan!
He said bitterly, "Madam, don't tease me."
"I'm not joking, but sincerely giving you advice. I'm afraid you have forgotten, and you agreed to give Ning Qing a dowry?" Ning Mu fiddled with the abacus, and said casually. "I think the old lady also told you, and she wants you to take back Ning Qing's jewelry, right?"
Ning Yanting said indifferently, "Aren't all those jewelry sold by your wife? If you sell it, then forget it, let alone, my third brother has already agreed to return Ning Qing's jewelry for me."
"He?" Mother Ning sneered, without saying anything. She asked again: "Then Ning Qing’s dowry, how do you plan to raise it. I can say in advance, all my things are to be left to A Nuan as the dowry, Ning Qing has nothing to do with me, don’t you Plead for her to come to me."
Ning Yanting didn't even care.
He said: "When the time comes, take out two heads from the warehouse, and the right is just to add makeup."
"that's it?"
"Can't this work?" Ning Yanting frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Madam means too many? Since there are too many pairs, then take one."
Mother Ning was dumbfounded: "You just said, where do you get it from?"
"Treasury."
"Public treasury?"
"Naturally."
Ning mother: "..."
Mother Ning was stunned for a long time before nodding her head eagerly; "If this is the case, then I will do what you said?"
"and many more."
Ning's complexion condensed.
Ning Yanting leaned close to her and said in a low voice, "When the madam goes to the public treasury to get things, can it make the noise a little bit bigger?"
"...Bigger?" Mother Ning looked at him in surprise: "What does it mean to be bigger?"
"Not only should the second room know, but also the third room should know. It would be great if you can get in front of the old lady." Ning Yanting finished speaking, and apologized again: "It's just that this is wronged Madam. If the lady doesn't like it, then stop making trouble."
dislike? How could she not like it!
Not only to let the second room know, but also to let the third room know, and go to the old lady? !
Ning's mother had an idea as soon as she changed her mind.
She thought to herself: Isn't this just thinking about her?
Recently, she still feels that her life is too peaceful, and she wants to add more trouble to the two bedrooms and three bedrooms!
It's just that Ning Yanting has changed his temper recently? There was something wrong when he was recovering from the injury, but now she is still asking her to find trouble by name. Could she really wake up?
"I have one more thing to tell Madam."
"whats the matter?"
Ning Yanting hesitated, then said: "The reason why I was severely injured was because of my third brother. He caused trouble outside and asked me to help, but he didn't treat me truthfully, so I was hurt. Seriously injured. It was also after this incident that I realized that the third and second brothers originally told me that they were brothers, and that they were all lying to me."
Mother Ning was overjoyed and blurted out: "You finally found out?!"
Ning Yanting: "..."
Mother Ning coughed and said, "Then what do you mean..."
Ning Yanting looked at her and said sternly: "Madam, how about splitting the family?"
...
It was another day in the evening when the students came out of the academy in twos and threes.
Ning Lang's footsteps were brisk, and a small servant behind him helped him carry the bookcase, and followed him every step of the way. Ning Lang glanced back, frowned first, then touched what was in his arms, and laughed cheerfully.
He hasn't seen his sweetheart for many days, but his mother sent someone to stare at him every step of the way. He was worried about what to do, so his sweetheart sent someone a purse. .
The purse was embroidered by his beloved girl herself, especially with the sweet fragrance on her body. After Ning Lang received the purse, she was in a paradise all day, even the Master said nothing.
In his arms there was still the letter handed by the girl in his heart, and he put it next to him for a day, his body temperature was warm. Ning Lang had only glanced roughly at first, but planned to wait for him to go home and hide in the house alone to appreciate it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to even go home.
Just before going home, he didn't forget to turn a corner and went to buy the snack that his sister specially stopped him to buy when he went out in the morning.
When Ning Lang returned home with a snack, he went to Ning Nuan first.
"A Nuan, look, the dim sum you said, I brought you back." Ning Lang put down the dim sum, touched his pocket through the clothes, didn't even say a word, turned around and left.
"Brother, wait." Ning Nuan stopped him.
Ning Lang stopped: "A Nuan, are you still looking for me?"
Ning Nuan sniffed, and said in confusion, "Brother, who did you meet today, why do you still carry fragrance on your body?"
"Really?" Ning Lang was overjoyed: "Did you smell it?"
That must be the fragrance of the girl in his heart!
Ning Lang thought about it in his heart. When he returned to the room, he had to read the letter first, then sniff his purse, and think about the girl in his heart. If the girl in his heart can enter his dream, then It couldn't be better.
"Why did my brother suddenly start to use incense? This incense is not suitable for my brother, wait for me to ask Xiangtao to look for it in the storeroom, so let him change the incense."
Ning Lang suddenly became anxious: "No, I want this. A Nuan, you don't understand, this is..." He paused after a while.
Ning Nuan had heard it and asked curiously: "What is this?"
"This is... This is... A Nuan, this is my personal matter, so don't ask."
Ning Nuan was taken aback, lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a shadow, her expression looked a little hurt: "Brother, this is disgusting with me."
Ning Lang was shocked and quickly walked over, sat down beside her, and coaxed softly: "I was wrong. I shouldn't yell at you loudly. Please forgive me, A Nuan, I will give it tomorrow. You buy Baozhizhai’s dim sum, buy your favorite passion cake... No, fragrant peach, go to the kitchen and make a bowl of apricot cheese for the lady."
Xiangtao responded and was about to go out immediately.
Ning Nuan couldn't help but laugh, and stopped Xiangtao and said, "How can I be angry with my brother."
Ning Lang let out a long sigh of relief and said, "If A Nuan doesn't get angry with me, it would be best."
Ning Nuan turned around and said faintly, "But if my brother doesn't even want to tell me such trivial things as incense, although I am not angry, I will be sad in my heart."
"Okay Nuan, it's just incense, you even have to care about this with me?"
"Today is incense, maybe my brother will not even say a word to me tomorrow, I think I care too much."
Ning Lang scratched his head and had to say: "Then... Then I will tell you, you can't tell your mother."
Ning Nuan nodded, she glanced at Xiangtao, Xiangtao retreated with all the maids knowingly, and closed the door when she left. In the blink of an eye, there were only two of them left in the room.
Ning Lang was very satisfied, and told her the truth, not so reluctant.
He took out a purse from his arms and placed it in front of Ning Nuan. When he thought that it was made by the girl in his heart and introduced to his younger sister, he couldn't help but relax his tone and say something nice to the girl in his heart: "A Nuan, look, this was sent to me by Myolie today."
"Who is Myolie?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xing'er is my sweetheart." Ning Lang's face was also a little red when he mentioned the girl who was happy: "Xing'er is a good girl, if it's A Nuan, see you When I arrive, I will definitely like her too."
Ning Nuan frowned, "But didn't my elder brother even said that she was born innocent..."
Ning Lang said anxiously: "Xing'er is an innocent girl, A Nuan, you are misunderstood, Xing'er is an innocent and good girl, but her family is tired of her."
"her home?"
Ning Lang looked around and saw that the door was closed tightly. He was sure that no one would come in. Then he lowered his voice and told her honestly: "Her father is a gambler and owes a lot of debts outside. I thought about selling her..."
Contacting the person living in Hulu Alley, Ning Nuan quickly realized what it meant to be sold.
She deliberately said: "It turns out that my elder brother fell in love with a girl who has made a kiss? That is absolutely impossible. Even if my elder is confused, he can't do such things that deprive his wife."
"No, of course not. I paid my money and helped Myolie's father pay off the debt. Myolie hasn't married yet." Ning Lang said happily; "She is an innocent and innocent girl, Nuan, you Don't get me wrong."
"Brother helped her pay off the debt? When did that happen?"
"Just... not long ago."
Ning Nuan was surprised: "Where did brother get the money?"
Ning Lang's voice was even lower: "I became a jade pendant..."
Ning Nuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Daddy had no money, so he went to the pawnshop as a affair, while his brother had no money, he also went to the pawnshop. That pawnshop actually did so much business in their Ning family?
"That elder brother paid her gambling debt for her, and the girl apricot fell in love with elder brother?"
"That's not true, I and Xing'er were in love at first." Ning Lang was very embarrassed: "After I saved Xing'er, she liked me even more. You see, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought I had sent someone a purse here. A Nuan, look, how beautiful this purse is made, and the flower is beautifully embroidered."
Ning Nuan glanced at his purse. The stitches are not fine enough, and the flower is a little out of shape, not as good as the fragrant peach usually made. Ning Lang's lover also has beauty in the eyes, even looking at a purse.
Maybe, in his heart, even making a purse that is not good-looking can be an advantage of that girl apricot!
"Is my brother determined to marry Girl Myolie?"
"That is. Although Myolie has more problems at home, she is a good girl. Whether it is you or your mother, you will definitely like it when you see it. Myolie is smart, gentle and kind. I see the tallest lady in Beijing. , Not as good as her."
Ning Nuan nodded and changed the conversation, and said: "If my brother insists on marrying a commoner girl, if he is really a good girl, then I won't say anything, but my brother will be the master of Ningfu in the future. Ning Mansion is the future mistress, and her every move represents the face of Ning Mansion. Brother doesn't care, what if his friends care? Brother also knows that people like us pay more attention to identity."
"A Nuan, don't worry, Xing'er was introduced by my friends, and they also like Xing'er."
Ning Nuan reminded: "I'm not talking about those, but His Royal Highness An."
Ning Lang was taken aback.
"My brother has a good relationship with Wang An. If my brother gets married in the future, the sister-in-law will also be able to marry An Wang. Her status is certainly not low. But Miss Myolie is just a commoner. How can I make Princess An see Upper eye?"
Ning Lang never thought about it.
Ning Nuan added: "Now that King An hasn't married his concubine, Princess An is also invisible. Only King An and those who interact with King An are all powerful and powerful, and his brother is also the eldest son of Ning's residence. If An Wang knew that his brother had married an ordinary person, and he didn't know what Wang An would think."
Ning Nuan paused, and said, "Wang An and his brother’s friends are different. I know that my brother has a good relationship with Wang, but Wang An’s identity is different from ours. My brother also said that Miss Myolie’s house is quite chaotic. , If it is used by someone with a heart, my brother will be careful to inflict Wang An...have my brother told His Royal Highness about Miss Apricot again?"
Ning Lang shook his head startled.
"In that case, it's better for my brother to ask An Wang for his opinion."
Ning Nuan thought to himself: With his brother's temperament, he would definitely run to ask An Wang. If the relationship between Wang An and his elder brother is really good, after knowing about it, he will definitely help. If it is not good, she can also do something in the middle to let her brother see the true face of the gentle and caring girl Myolie.
No wonder Ning Nuan thinks badly about the girl.
In connection with the character of Ning Lang's friends, she really didn't believe in her silly brother's luck to be able to run into a good girl who was out of the mud but not stained.
