An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

The next morning, they had to report to the hall as usual. The young couple got up together as if on a tacit agreement.

In the past, Sang Ling served the marquis, but in fact, she was always intermittent. When she was in a good mood, she would get out of bed and tie a belt for him, but it was all perfunctory. Once she put on the upper part, she would not care about the lower part, and once she took care of the lower part, she would not care about the upper part. If she was very sleepy, she would not change her mind.

He was in a good mood today, mainly because the sun was shining brightly. The morning sun came in through the window. Sang Ling got down from the bed and helped him get dressed. When he was straightening his collar, Nie Ce said, "Did Governor Luo's family come here a few days ago?"

She said "ang" without even raising her head.

"Luo Yu is interested in you?"

"Ah?" The girl from the Sang family raised her head suddenly, and her drowsy mind suddenly woke up.

"Mother told me that they stayed here specially to see you." Nie Ce pinched her cheek, "This lady from the East Mansion."

Although Sang Ling did not hear clearly what the servant said to Madam Zhaoyu that day, she had a general idea of ​​what happened after watching the conversation between the two sides. However, these trivial matters were forgotten once she left the back room. Although the young master of the Luo family looked not bad, he was really not her type.

"You're jealous." She paused halfway through her thoughts and responded quickly.

Suddenly mentioning the mother and son of the Luo family, isn't it just jealousy?

"I know Luo Yu. I drank with him several times when I passed through Luzhou." Young Marquis Nie sneered and turned around, handing the long crown to her, and continued, "He is a good person. He always has a smile on his face and has no temper. If Second Aunt hadn't made trouble, Shen Huajun would have been very happy to marry him."

The same is true for her face, she looks very friendly when she smiles. Sang Ling continued, "Well, then the eldest lady arranged a gathering next time, and invited Ma and Sang Mei to come as well."

"You really like your Sang family's daughter?" Nie Ce raised half an eyebrow. When she was about to put the crown on him, he didn't rush to sit down first. "What do you think of him?"

Sang Ling smiled at him, with two dimples on her lips, "I think he's a good guy too. You said he has a good temper, so isn't he a good person?"

"What does he look like?"

"It's pleasing to the eye." She gave a very pertinent evaluation.

"How about me?"

It seems that it will never end. When she met Nie Ce in Qingshan Temple in the middle of the year, she felt that he had become much more stable. His words and actions were very strict. Although he occasionally had some of the unruly youthfulness of the past, he was usually quite stable, especially in front of outsiders. Sometimes he just frowned, and his aura was simply intimidating. The servants in Wuyuan were also afraid of him. Zong Xiang and Wei Chu had served here for more than half a year. Whenever Nie Ce entered the room, the two little ones dared not breathe, and wished to finish their work and leave as soon as possible.

This would be childish in front of her.

Sang Ling stood on tiptoe and raised his head, half putting on and half throwing the long crown towards her, "I can't compare with you, okay."

If we keep arguing, there will be no end to it. I have to hurry to greet the old man later.

"That's right." Unexpectedly, this guy was proud and hugged her waist. "Say that again."

"What are you talking about?" Even though he was hanging in the air, Sang Ling was not too panicked. He took another look at the crown on his head, then straightened it and let the tassel down. He looked serious, and held a hairpin in his hand, which he inserted horizontally to secure it.

"How does he compare to me?" Nie Ce curled the corners of his mouth.

This posture made him look up at her, so Sang Ling looked down for a while. Nie Jialang had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, a narrow and long face, without a trace of excess fat on his face, two thin lips slightly parted, and a slightly rolling Adam's apple at the neckline, showing a beautiful outline. - I have to admit that he is really sexy, this unique handsomeness can only be seen in Nie Ce.

"There's no comparison with you, okay?" She deliberately lowered her voice and blew into his ear.

The teasing in the words is self-evident.

The two people who were close to each other could feel it immediately. The man under her suddenly exerted force and held her higher. This height really made Sang Ling panic, "Nie Ce!" She couldn't help but yell.

"Yeah." Nie Jialang answered quite readily.

After giving her a good scare, he finally let it go with a sense of unfulfilled desire. The young general knew that he couldn't delay any longer, but before the servant at the door came in, he couldn't help but pinch her face, and Sang Ling had no choice but to glare back.

When a group of servants came in with a copper basin and a towel, the ambiguous atmosphere in the room disappeared. Neither of them looked at each other, as if the fight just now had never happened.

In fact, until now, Sang Ling still can't figure out how Nie Ce feels about her. Anyway, she really likes this now.

She used to think Gao Heng was handsome, and because his gentle appearance was too impressive, but she felt that Gao Heng was untouchable. Her cousin was like a bright moon and a quiet and deep shadow under the moon. Because he was too beautiful, he lost his authenticity.

But Nie Ce was a handsome young man in real life. Everything about him seemed to be attractive. She didn't know when she had been drawn away from the spotlight. Even an unintentional movement or look could make people involuntarily have wild thoughts.

As the two of them became more and more in love, she attributed it all to the bed. This man was originally a military commander, with a beautiful figure, and at the prime of his life, like a ball of thriving flame, it would be easy to burn a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love and whose heart was stirring.

She also had to admit to herself that she was obsessed at the moment - obsessed with this sexy appearance and obsessed with the joy of love.

At the end of the month, Mr. Nie's birthday banquet was held. The mansion had already started preparations the day before. The kitchen in the backyard started chopping firewood and slaughtering animals two days in advance to prepare fish, meat, rice and vegetables. The rooms in the front yard for distant relatives to stay temporarily were also cleaned up. Madam Zhaoyu was busy from morning to night, so she stayed in Jingsiju to listen to the reports from the servants, assign people and make temporary changes.

Sang Ling only attended the lecture for one afternoon, but he was still confused.

The couple went to the court early that morning. Madam Zhaoyu was already waiting in the front hall, waiting for the boys to help Grandpa change his clothes. Second Uncle and Shen had already arrived at the gate of the house to prepare for the reception.

The old man walked in the front hall with his hands behind his back, and met Nie Guang and his wife coming over. After a while, the third uncle and the fourth uncle also arrived with Cai and Zhang. The whole family gathered together to listen to a few words from the great grandfather, and without staying any longer, they went to Jingsiju together.

Although the birthday banquet was not held from morning to night, the relatives who came from the hometown in Liaodong had to be well entertained. In ancient times, travel was inconvenient and a long journey could take several days. Liaodong was far outside the Great Wall, so this group of people set off half a month in advance.

Sang Ling listened to Madam Zhaoyu's arrangements and secretly asked Nie Ce, "We hold birthday celebrations every year. Do people from my hometown have to go there every year?"

Nie Ce hummed when he heard this, and replied, "My grandfather has been here every year since he turned 80. If the weather is bad and the muddy road is hard to walk on, he will just ask someone to send a gift and a few words of blessing."

That's it. If they come here every year, exhausted and exhausted, most people can't afford it.

Among the Nie family, only Nie Da's lineage was relatively successful. The descendants of the other uncles were still poor people. Because of the living relatives, they were occasionally taken care of and had enough food and clothing. Cheng Niu and Fang Niu had also heard about this. In fact, every year when the master celebrated his birthday, this group of people said they came to congratulate him, but in private, most of them were asking for money. After all, when poor relatives gave gifts to rich relatives, the rich relatives would certainly give gifts in return.

Therefore, relatives from my hometown come frequently, and even if they cannot come in person, gifts will still be sent.
