Chapter 32:

In the rouge shop.
After Ning Qing said that, Ning Nuan hadn't said anything, Xiangtao had already flushed first, stepped forward to block Ning Nuan, and said angrily: "What the second lady said, is it our lady? Isn't you corrupting your reputation? The second lady has already done such things. The lady and the young lady did not care about the second lady, and even said these hypocritical words in front of our young lady, it would be too much."
Ning Qing gritted her teeth.
Don't care, why don't you care?
If you don't care about it, can her jewelry fly on her own long legs?
When it comes to this, Ning Qing is very angry.
If it weren't for Jiang's uproar, and seeing her jewellery taken away, how could she be so embarrassed now? If there is no separation of the family, it would be okay. She and her mother begged, and they would naturally be able to use the public money to make up for it. But now that the family is separated, they not only owe Dafang a debt, but also have a good time. Tighter than before. The only income from the family is those shops that are divided up and Ning Yanwen's salary. Her father spends a lot of money to go out to socialize, and the expenses of the people in the family are also a lot of money, and the social exchanges between the houses are also a lot of money.
Her mother asked her to be frugal. Even if she bought jewelry powder, she couldn't be as lavish as before, so that instead of making up for her jewelry, she has to hesitate to buy new jewelry.
Whose reason are these?
Of course it's Ning Nuan!
In Ning Qing’s eyes, Ning Yanting and Jiang Yunlan are not like people who would do this kind of thing, only Ning Nuanhui, Ning Nuan has always been at odds with her, maybe it was Ning Nuan who snatched her away. Jewellery, and encouraged Ning Yanting to tell the old lady about the separation.
Ning Qing snorted and said, "You girl, the good and the bad depend on me. If you just say that I've broken your lady's reputation, how come your lady is crooked?"
"You...!" Xiangtao flushed and stared at her angrily, opening her mouth to say something, but Ning Nuan pulled her away first.
She just remembered that now they are in the rouge shop, under the public, it is indeed inappropriate to make housework outside. The noise from their side has attracted a lot of people to look over, noticed the sight of those people, Xiang Tao choked, and looked at Ning Nuan.
Ning Nuan glanced at Ning Qing, turned his head nonchalantly, and said lightly: "The younger sister can pick more rouge, so she can paint it for Master Zhou when she is time."
Ning Qing was overjoyed and said triumphantly: "That's natural, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the mouth fat being handed to her.
Ning Qing was taken aback: "This..."
Ning Nuan took several samples in one breath, and put them in front of her: "My younger sister and Young Master Zhou are married. I am a sister. I have forgotten to congratulate you. I just met here now, so I can help you pick one. "
"..." Ning Qing almost thought that she had heard it wrong.
Help her? Pick rouge?
Why not just buy it to her!
She looked at Ning Nuan incredulously, but saw that Ning Nuan kept moving, took several sets in a row, and put them in front of her. These are all new products from the powder shop, and they are also the hottest sellers nowadays. Many girls in the shop hold them in their hands and love them all over their faces.
Ning Nuan suddenly said, "I forgot. Now that the family is divided, my sister doesn't have much money..."
Ning Qing was happy and surprised, and her eyes were full of doubt when she looked at Ning Nuan. Isn't her sister in the lobby really stupid by her stimulation, listening to this tone, is it really going to buy her rouge?
Ning Nuan turned around and said: "It's just a wedding ceremony. Now you are here to pick rouge specifically for Young Master Zhou. If you want to come to the second aunt, you won't be stingy. I definitely gave you enough money. I see these are all suitable for the second. Sister, it’s better to buy both."
Ning Qing: "..."
Ning Qing opened her mouth and almost bit her tongue.
Where does she have so much silver? !
This time she did use Young Master Zhou as an excuse to buy powder. Although her mother was reluctant, she reluctantly paid for the Zhou family's big family relationship. In order to prepare her dowry, the silver in the family was not very rich. Therefore, there is not much to take out. It is fine to buy one or two, but it is impossible to buy several sets.
just……
Ning Qing is a bit like Ning Yanwen, and they are very face-saving outside. Now that Ning Nuan has already spoken first, if she refuses again, it will be as if Ning Nuan has been lowered.
Ning Qing suddenly hesitated.
"Or...Second sister can't afford the money?" Ning Nuan glanced at her with a smile but slightly curved eyes. In Ning Qing's eyes, the meaning revealed at the end of her eyes clearly looked down on her. Ning Nuan kindly reminded: "If the second sister can't afford it, it's better to do what you can. If you let the second aunt know..."
"Who said I can't afford it?!" Ning Qing raised her voice abruptly and took down all the powder. She raised her chin and looked at Ning Nuan triumphantly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint sister Nuan. Even if the family is divided, I have a lot of money in my hands. My mother treats me very well. It's not just a few boxes of powder, and it doesn't cost much."
After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Ning Nuan would take the opportunity to get a few more sets, she directly called the lady in the powder shop and took out her money to settle the bill.
Ning Qing was in pain when she was paying for her money.
She had long been fond of a set of jewelry, and took out her private house for the jewelry. Today she came out not only to buy powder, but also to buy the jewelry back.
Now it's good, the jewelry can't be bought, but it is replaced by a pile of powder. Ning Qing didn't dare to look more, for fear that it would hurt herself if she looked at it more. She asked the maid to pick up something and proudly left in front of Ning Nuan.
Until her figure disappeared at the door, Xiang Tao said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, the second lady treated you like that. What are you doing to help her pick rouge?"
Ning Nuan Hun looked at the powder on display nonchalantly: "Who said I picked it for her?"
"Miss you..."
"I just took a few easily." Ning Nuan curled her eyes, with triumph in her eyes: "I didn't even see if those powders were suitable for her. If you say so, I would really pick... …"
"Miss?!"
"I gave her several boxes of exactly the same." Ning Nuan picked up a box of mouth fat, "this."
Xiangtao couldn't help but his eyes widened.
Ning Nuan's box of mouth fat is the darkest color, not the most popular color nowadays. People of Ning Nuan and Ning Qing's age are even more respectful. Even Ning Mu would think that the color is too deep. If it were in Ning Qing's hands, she would always love beauty again, which is absolutely impossible to use.
But the price is not low, it is the least popular item in the rouge shop.
Ning Qing has always had a good face, and it is absolutely impossible to return the things she bought with grudge. She suffered this loss and could only swallow back into her belly.
Ning Nuan also really knows that the second room was spending a lot of money, and Ning Yanwen has a lot of money for socializing outside. In a few months, Ning Qing will get married. In order to save Ning Qing, the second wife will give Ning a lot of money. Qing prepares her dowry. This also requires money, and that also requires money. It is not easy to come to Erfang now.
She wouldn't do such deceptive things on weekdays, but who told Ning Qing to rush to her?
Xiangtao's anger in her heart eased a little, but she still pouted, and said unhappily: "If the lady moves faster, it will be fine. If the lady's reputation improves, the second lady will not have the present So proud."
Xiangtao knows the meaning of Ning’s recent actions, but it’s only now that she feels the same, and she hopes that their young lady’s reputation will immediately improve, and then find a powerful family to set a marriage, it’s better to be even more powerful than that of the minister of courtesy. , So that Ning Qing can no longer be proud of Ning Nuan.
Ning Lang and Chu Fei walked to the door and happened to hear her last words.
Chu Fei couldn't help asking: "Fame? What reputation? Your sister has a bad reputation?"
Ning Lang was also taken aback for a moment: "It seems that there is such a thing."
Chu Fei nodded and looked at the distant figure who was leaving, thoughtfully.
Ning Lang didn't notice his strange attitude. He was full of eyes and only Ning Nuan was left. He shouted "A Nuan" at the door and ran in eagerly, regardless of the looks of other people in the rouge shop.
Ning Nuan turned his head and saw that he stopped in front of him.
Ning Nuan was surprised: "Brother, why are you here?"
"When I came out to play with my friends, I was sitting in the opposite teahouse. Who knows that I saw you opposite at a glance. Didn't this come to you?" Ning Lang asked again: "On the contrary, it is you, why are you willing to come out of the house."
"Mother thinks I'm in the house all day, let Xiangtao accompany me to buy some rouge..." Ning Nuan paused, and suddenly realized that the friend he was talking about was Wang An.
Yes, since breaking up with those friends, her brother has only left An Wang as a friend. Now he says he loves to play with his friends, is An Wang over there?
Ning Nuan was startled, and subconsciously glanced behind him, but didn't see any suspicious figures. Ning Nuan quickly lowered her voice and whispered, "Brother, please ignore me. Go and accompany Wang An. You rush over like this, and be careful that Wang An is angry."
"He won't be angry..." Ning Lang paused, wondering: "How do you know I'm with him?"
Ning Nuan couldn't laugh or cry. Isn't this something that can be guessed right away?
She said softly, "My brother is coming out with His Highness, and there is no one else beside him. My brother came to look for me rashly. Only my Highness was left. Because of my brother's temperament, he definitely didn't mention it, so he just ran. Come here. Although your Highness has a good temper, he will be annoyed if he is suddenly left behind by his brother."
Ning Lang responded quickly: "Okay, okay, I won't be able to go back."
Just before leaving, he still couldn't help but cared: "I just seemed to see you and Ning Qing have a conflict. Is there something wrong?"
Ning Nuan originally didn't want to tell him, but Xiang Tao said straightforwardly: "Young Master, don't you know, the second lady...No, the cousin has always had a bad attitude towards the young lady. It was because she had corrupted her reputation outside. , So that the young lady is like this, and there is not even a person who comes to propose a family. After the cousin and the son of Zhou have arranged a marriage, they often come to show off with the young lady... If it weren't for her, the young lady would definitely be able to marry better than her. "
Ning Lang was stunned: "Is there anything else?!"
"My mother and I know this, don't worry about it." Ning Nuan said softly: "It's brother, why did you play truant again today?"
"No, it's not that I played truant, but that the academy is not in class today." Ning Lang scratched his head and asked, "Then...what did the mother say?"
"Mother has already figured out a way."
Ning Lang's heart fell to the ground.
Ning Nuan urged him again, and he finally left with reluctance. Before he left, he still said in a vague way: "A Nuan is fancy, if the money is not enough, let Xiangtao come to me. I have money. Buy it for you."
Ning Nuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Ning Lang returned to the teahouse.
When he went back, Chu Fei had already sat back in the original private room, sitting by the window looking at a figure outside the window, holding the tea cup thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking. Hearing the movement of Ning Lang's return, he immediately turned his head and looked over. It was so rare that he was not irritated by being rashly left behind by his friends, as if the person who had just chased Ning Lang to the door was not him.
He smiled and helped Ning Lang pour a cup of tea before he said: "Have you finished talking with your sister?"
Ning Lang nodded absently.
Chu Fei asked again: "Are you thinking about your sister?"
Ning Lang blurted out: "Not really."
After he finished speaking, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said in front of him, and suddenly closed his mouth in annoyance.
"My sister's thing, I can't tell you." Ning Lang sighed: "It's just that I suddenly learned of one thing, and now I'm holding it in my heart. It's really uncomfortable. I want to find someone to talk about...my sister Let me not care, but I also care very much."
He said again: "If only I had a brother, it would be fine."
Chu Fei's eyes moved slightly, and seeing that the bottom of his cup was empty, he raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea.
Ning Lang picked up the cup and drank it with his head up. The top-quality tea was like white water in his hand. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said, "Your tea tastes bad, so take me next time. Go to the bar."
He said, got up and stood up again, and was about to go out.
Chu Fei stopped him: "Where are you going?"
Ning Lang hurriedly stopped and said to him: "I will go home. My sister won't tell me about that, but I really care about it in my heart. I will ask my mother, she must be clear."
Chu Fei reached out and pulled him back, and poured him another cup of tea.
"You might as well talk to me."
"This...this is not good." Ning Lang hesitated: "This matter is related to my sister, but it is not easy to tell you..."
"What's the matter?" Chu Fei smiled and said, "What is my relationship with you? You just said not long ago that I am your best friend. Doesn't that count?"
Ning Lang shook his head quickly: "Of course."
Chu Fei snorted again: "This king also accompanied you to do the embarrassment of climbing on the wall. You lost all your face. When you came to me for help, you knew you had a relationship with me. Now it's better. Treat this as if it never happened?"
Ning Lang shook his head harder: "Of course not."
Chu Fei's face turned clear, and he personally put the cup in his hand, with a rare friendly attitude.
Just listen to Chu Fei's words: "We have already climbed over the wall, you said, I am your best friend, since you treat me as a brother, then your sister is my sister, and your sister is having trouble. Even if my sister is having trouble, you are worried about your sister's affairs, and I am also worried about my sister's affairs, don't you think?"
Ning Lang had been stunned by him, only knowing to follow his words and nodded: "Ok...it seems to be..."
Chu Fei smiled like a big-tailed wolf: "In that case, you might as well tell me about this matter. Let's come together to find a way for our sister. My path is wider than you. You can't do it, maybe. I can do it, don't you think?"
Ning Lang nodded dizzyly: "Yes...yes..."
After Chu Fei yelled so much, he confusedly told Chu Fei what he had just heard.
After Chu Fei listened, his eyes brightened: "You mean...your sister hasn't made a marriage yet?"
Ning Lang nodded sadly: "At first I was wondering why my cousin made a kiss. My sister is a few months older than her, and there is no news at all. I originally thought that my mother was reluctant to let her do this. Marrying out early, I think so too, how old my sister is, and I think she stayed at home for a few more years, but now I know that it is because my sister’s reputation is bad. You say, my sister is so good, and I too Thinking that my cousin is also a good one, why is she so vicious in her mind that she still framed my sister like this?"
In Ning Lang's heart, his sister is the best person in the sky and on the earth.
A Nuan is gentle and considerate, has always been assertive, and is not as fierce as her mother. She also looks good. Ning Lang has seen so many girls, but no one is better than his sister. In Ning Lang's heart, those Not a single young talent is worthy of his sister.
Such a good sister, of course, wants to hide at home, staying for a few more years, how can she be willing to marry so early? Ning Lang had always thought this way before. He vaguely heard something, knowing that Ning's mother was worried about Ning Nuan’s marriage, but she didn’t take it to heart. Now when she first heard Xiangtao talk about the cause and effect, she suddenly felt bad. .
This one's unwillingness to marry, and not being able to marry out, these are two different things!
Ning Lang said with a heartache: "If I had known earlier, I would...I'll go and beat my cousin! I think he has been upset for a long time!"
Chu Fei squinted at him and said, "The most urgent task now is how to clear your sister's reputation. If you rush to beat people, you might still cause trouble for your sister."
Ning Lang suddenly lowered his head in frustration.
"You know, we just split up recently. We used to live together. If I hit him, my dad would definitely be angry, but now it’s different. My dad doesn’t know what happened, and suddenly his temperament changes drastically. Go and beat him again. If it is for my sister, he will definitely be satisfied." Ning Lang's eyes lit up, eager to try: "Can you lend me some guards in the palace?"
Chu Fei was speechless: "Apart from beating people, do you have other ways?"
"What way?" Ning Lang scratched his head: "I'm stupid and can't read books, so my fist is a bit stronger than him."
"If you think so, your sister will still be angry."
Speaking of Ning Nuan, Ning Lang suddenly wilted.
He was full of annoyance and said: "Originally, my parents kept saying that as a brother, they kept causing trouble to my sister. I didn't understand it, but now that I think about it, they said nothing wrong. As a brother , But I don’t even know that her reputation is bad, and she keeps giving my cousin a good face. She has been worried about so many things for me. I can’t do anything except buy her jewelry and mynah, even before About Myolie, she reminded me."
The more Ning Lang said, the more he felt that he was out of character.
Ning Lang didn't take it seriously before his parents told him to make him motivated. Now that this happened, he really regretted it.
If he is more useful and don't let A Nuan worry about him, and if A Nuan is wronged, he can still help A Nuan, then should he give A Nuan more face?
Chu Fei patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Isn't I now? Your sister is my sister. After she was wronged, I will give her a head, and I am a majesty. Is there anyone else who has lost face? I can't?"
Ning Lang felt that something was wrong instinctively: "My sister was wronged, why are you out there..."
Chu Fei said solemnly, "Are you not treating me like a friend?"
Ning Lang shook his head quickly: "Of course not."
"Then what do you do with me like this?" Chu Fei said, "It's settled. If your sister is wronged in the future, just come to me."
Ning Lang responded in a daze, still feeling something was wrong.
It's just that his attention was quickly diverted by Chu Fei.
Chu Fei thoughtfully filled his cup, and asked with a smile on his face: "Since it is my sister, why don't you tell me about your sister again, so that my new brother can also understand her better. I can deal with anything..."
Ning Lang was already led by him. Hearing what he said, he felt close to him in his heart, so naturally he didn't object to it. When his eyes lit up, he immediately talked to him endlessly.
This said, it comes to dusk.
After letting Xiao Er continue tea several times, Ning Lang spoke dryly, and he stopped reluctantly until he saw that it was getting late.
Stopping to say nothing, he still pulled Chu Fei with his face full of resentment: "I thought about my mother being so anxious about my sister's marriage, but she couldn't find a good one and wanted you to help. Can you find a good person, but when I mentioned it, I was rejected by my parents and my sister, too. She was the first to disagree... You are my best friend. Why would you see me out like this?"
Chu Fei answered, "Naturally."
Ning Lang was happy again: "I knew it, you would definitely help."
After he finished speaking, he sighed faintly: "It's just that I also know that reputation is very important. Now it has become like this. Even if you help, I don't know if it can be done."
"This matter will definitely be resolved."
"Yes, my mother seems to have thought of a good idea."
Chu Fei's mind turned on the tip of his tongue, swallowed again, and continued: "Since you have brought it up, then I will definitely help your sister find a good person."
"Really?!" Ning Lang was pleasantly surprised.
Chu Fei replied with full mouth: "Definitely not worse than me."
Ning Lang only felt that he was hit on his head by the joyous event from heaven, and his whole person was dizzy. He was flattered and said: "Really...really?!"
In his heart, his younger sister is the best sister in the world, and Wang An is also the best friend in the world!
Who is Wang An? That's the prince! Not only is the person good, but the status is also honorable. If it is not worse than King An, how good is it? !
Ning Lang was surprised that he couldn't say a complete sentence, even his head was stunned by the great news, and the whole person was dizzy: "This...this is not so good, how can I trouble you so much..."
If the status is not worse than that of King An, then...that... Then, isn't his A Nuan just going to be a princess? !
Oh, if this is true, then he will be the eldest brother-in-law of the prince!
Ning Lang was overjoyed. He grasped Chu Fei's hand hard and was so moved. When the parting came, he was still reluctant to give up and wanted to say a few more words.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he finally returned home.
Because of the example of being scolded last time, Ning Lang struggled to hold back his excitement this time, and only waited for things to be done later, before coming to tell his parents and sister the good news.
Therefore, when Ning's father and mother didn't know, his stupid son did something completely opposite to what they expected.
And at that end, Chu Fei also returned to the palace.
Along the way, the figure he had glimpsed today kept appearing in his mind, making Chu Fei think and think, the more he thought about it, the more itchy.
He couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, I thought I had seen all the beauties in the world, but now that I saw it, I found out that even the most beautiful concubine in the harem of the emperor's brothers is not half her.
The guard glanced at him carefully, before finding out, he quickly retracted his gaze.
He couldn't help sighing in his heart: Could it be possible that their princes were so upset that they really fell in love with Young Master Ning's younger sister?
Chu Fei whispered: "Under the world, can anyone be more noble and more outstanding than the king?"
Guard:...
The guard thought again: If the prince had just been in the teahouse, and their prince had told him these words to Mr. Ning, would Mr. Ning beat his prince on the spot?
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Chu Fei couldn't recover.
As soon as he entered the palace, the steward hurriedly walked out and said, "The prince, the empress mother is here again."
"Come again?" Chu Fei frowned, "How many times did the king and the queen talk to her to stop sending people over. Why doesn't the queen listen?"
Guan Shi asked, "Master, then this time..."
"Hurry back and drive away."
The steward agreed and turned to leave.
"Wait." Chu Fei stopped him: "Let those people go back and pass a word to the king, saying that they are not good-looking, and those that don't fit the king's eyes are not allowed to send them over again."
The steward suddenly hesitated: "Then...what does the prince like?"
The same was said last time when their prince chased people away.
This time, he also saw the people sent by the Queen Mother. They are really beautiful and beautiful, and they all meet the standards of their princes. Who knows that this time their princes will not see them, just go straight Picky about the looks of those beauties.
"This king naturally likes to be smart and beautiful, but also considerate, gentle and considerate."
Chu Fei secretly added in his heart: If Ms. Ning Jia is like that, it would be exactly what he likes.
Guan Shi suddenly realized.
Remember, their prince now not only needs to be good-looking, but also smart.
The steward said quickly: "The servant will send someone to tell the queen mother that he will follow your new standards later."
Chu Fei's face sank, "When will this king agree?"
The steward was bitter: "Master, you don't know, you say that every time, but the queen mother answered yes."
Chu Fei choked.
This is indeed the truth.
He thought for a while, and then said: "Just say...just say that this king already has a sweetheart, so naturally the mother and queen are not in a hurry."
The guard next to him secretly nodded in his heart: As expected.
But the steward was full of surprises, "Master, what you said is true? Do you really... really meet your sweetheart?"
Chu Fei nodded reserved.
"Which girl is the other party?" The steward said excitedly: "Since the prince went out of the palace to build the mansion, the empress dowager has been urging you. Every time a beauty is sent over, you are all driven back by you. The empress dowager is looking forward to it. You can get married, and now you have met your sweetheart... I don't know which girl the other party is from, I also have someone to report to the empress dowager. If you want to come, you will definitely be happy."
"Don't worry." Chu Fei said, "You can't say anything about it."
"This..." The manager was startled, then asked nervously: "Then the lord is..."
Isn't it because you have been with Young Master Ning for a long time, and you also like people who are not on the stage?
The steward was full of sorrow.
"I have other plans for this matter. If it is really appropriate, I will sue my mother."
The manager guessed again: Is it possible that the other side does not agree?
The steward reminded me cautiously: "If the prince really likes it, it's better to ask the emperor to give him a marriage..."
Chu Fei knocked his head with a fan: "Does this king still need you to remind?"
The manager touched his head and hurriedly happily ran to send those beauties away.
When Chu Fei returned to the room, Wu thought about today's beautiful shadow for a long time before calling someone over again.
"Go and investigate Ning Lang's sister again, and Madam Ning, inquire about Madam Ning's recent actions."
Sister Ning Lang's reputation is not good. If he had mentioned it early, the Queen Mother would definitely disagree.
Ning Lang said that his mother had already had an idea, and he didn't know when the reputation would be cleared up. If she couldn't do it, he wouldn't mind helping out.
If he helped, it would naturally be able to change its name...
Chu Fei had an idea in his mind, and his face also showed some pride.
His palace has been empty for so long, and it would be nice to add someone else.
The author has something to say:
That’s right, An Wang was a big pig's hoof in his last life.
Of course, I also discovered other advantages of A Nuan in my last life, and then I like A Nuan more and more.
