When the villain dresses up as the heroine of an abuse novel [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 177 Two Phoenix Profound Chapters
When Ning Yunqing first took over the Chu family business, Ning Yunqing liked to spend her free time looking through the books in the study. Today she was watching the grain harvest in the outskirts of the city. Excited, his eyes were wide open, and before he could catch his breath, he said: "Miss, someone is making trouble in the restaurant in Dongshi, you should go and have a look!"
Ning Yunqing looked up at him. He was dressed like an inn waiter. Although he couldn't recognize him clearly, he should be her servant. The young man was young and had little knowledge, and when he encountered something, he would sweat all over his head in a hurry. , she turned her head to look at the maid standing beside her, and ordered, "Go and pour him a bowl of tea."
The boy took the tea, not knowing whether to be moved or impulsive, his hands trembling slightly, he hesitated and said: "Miss, please go to the restaurant first. The man called a group of people to bet at the door, we I can’t even do business with them. The shopkeeper is dealing with them, it seems that the man still has some background, he dare not act rashly, so he asked the younger one to invite you.”
Ning Yunqing responded, and asked casually: "The person who came here called me by name and wanted to see me?"
The little servant was startled, and nodded in a daze.Ning Yunqing understood, and smiled at him, "Drink the tea. In a short time, I will go with you." After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at the dazed servant, got up and walked out, and opened the door Seeing that Chu Qiuxuan was about to go in with a bowl of lotus seed soup, she frowned and said, "Unfortunately, I'm going out just now, let's put it in the room. Drink it when I come back."
"It was cold by then." Chu Qiuxuan pouted, handed the soup to the maid behind him, and asked closer, "What's the matter? Do you want me to call you godmother?"
Ning Yunqing smiled and replied: "No need, but there is a gentleman in Dongshi Restaurant who wants to see me. If you are idle and bored, why don't you join in the fun?"
Taking Ning Yunqing's hand very casually, Chu Qiuxuanyun smiled and said, "Okay."
■
"Are you in control? If you can't do it, get the hell out of here and tell the masters of the Chu Family Village to come out!"
The flag of the restaurant hadn't been seen yet, but the yelling came from afar. The boy who led the way looked at the eldest lady anxiously. He thought that the eldest lady would be calm and frightened like a normal girl, but unexpectedly this time Disappointed, the eldest lady of his family didn't even frown, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her lips when she looked closely. It was really Mount Tai who collapsed in front of her and her face remained unchanged. She was either an expert or she was shocked.
The young servant's unopened face was wrinkled and filled with doubts. He persuaded: "Miss, it's the gentleman in front. There are quite a lot of them. Do you want to find... to report to the official?"
"No need." The corners of Ning Yunqing's lips raised slightly, and she rode over leisurely. She was not taller than a man, but because the pony was unexpectedly eye-catching, the shopkeeper saw her from afar, with eyes in her eyes. With a flash of light, he called out with a bitter face, "Miss!"
This call was like a long sword piercing the clouds, and it directly scattered the crowd to the left and right, clearing a way for Ning Yunqing.Ning Yunqing didn't get off her horse, so she just walked over condescendingly. As the saying goes, standing high can see far away, and Ning Yunqing sitting high can see clearly. She saw a group of men outside the restaurant. Brocade costumes, a jade crown on the head, a face like a full moon, and a body like Bajie, she looks like a regular customer of a restaurant.Ning Yunqing greeted him with his eyes, the man with a full moon glanced at her, then at Chu Qiuxuan behind her, as if gaining confidence, he raised his head and laughed, he smiled, the pile of flowers beside him The servant with the stick laughed too.
The laughter lasted for about three moments. The man on the moon felt that his neck was a bit heavy, and he retracted his big head. The smile on the corner of his mouth did not fade. The girl was expressionless, and there were other emotions in those two beautiful eyes. He didn't read much and couldn't express it, but he felt clearly uncomfortable in his heart.Flattening his mouth, he raised the corners of his stiff lips, and he raised his eyebrows to sneer, "Is there no one in the Chu family village? Call a yellow-haired girl to be the director? Hurry up and call out the head of the family, you will kill someone, you know?"
The full-moon man's eyes were round and round, and his flesh was extremely ferocious. He thought that this would be able to scare the little girl, but unexpectedly, the other party curled up his lips and smiled lightly, "Unfortunately, this is the Chu family. The head of the Zhuang family, this young master just revealed his life, where is this life?"
"I see you're a little girl, I'm afraid you'll be fooled." Man Yuenan raised his head and said in a considerate tone, "Go back quickly and call your brother."
Is this going to be counted on Chu Tiancheng?The smile on Ning Yunqing's face remained undiminished, and his words were cold and alienated, "Thank you for your compassion, sir. It's just that something happened to my restaurant, and I, the big shopkeeper, have to pay some responsibility. Please show me, sir."
Man Yuenan didn't think that the little girl was really brave, so he waved his hand to get the servant out of the way, and a cart rolled up with bedding was exposed. Ning Yunqing ordered the boy to get a wooden stick, and when the things were brought, he held on to the wooden stick and Lift up the hood covering it.The surrounding people all took a step back, accompanied by the woman's gasp, Ning Yunqing turned her head and asked Man Yuenan, "Is that him?"
Man Yuenan didn't think that there are women who are not afraid of death. He was stunned for a while, pretending to be a tiger and nodded, "Yes, I ate the food from your restaurant yesterday, and I died. Give me an explanation, or I will kill you." Go to the police and let you..."
Before finishing the threatening words, Ning Yunqing looked at him abruptly, "Are you really going to report to the police?"
The full moon man thought she was being bluffed by him, and nodded arrogantly, "Naturally. As long as you..." He took two steps closer, because Ning Yunqing was on the horse and couldn't touch her ear, so he tiptoed and whispered Said: "Give me the hotel, and give me a large amount of silver, and I will..."
The full moon man's mouth has magical powers, opening and closing the air changed the taste, Ning Yunqing couldn't help turning his head, looked at Chu Qiuxuan, and handed her the stick, "Qiuxuan, I remember you always liked to read Xinglin books, you Doesn't this guy look weird?"
Chu Qiuxuan glanced at the man's corpse, and replied, "It's poison."
"Yes, he was poisoned to death after eating your food!" Man Yuenan yelled after him, but Chu Qiuxuan didn't answer him, and sighed: "Looking at this, he should have been dead for two hours."
Two hours naturally couldn't reach yesterday, Man Yuenan immediately shook his fat and smiled when he heard this, "I'm just talking nonsense, I just asked someone from the medicine hall to see that this person died after eating bad food. What do you want at this time?" Sophistry? Are you bullying us ordinary people because of your Chu family's great fortune?"
Ning Yunqing still didn't have too much emotion on her face, she just said calmly: "Which medicine hall did you invite to see?"
"Liu's Medicine Hall." Man Yuenan looked smug. Liu's Medicine Hall is an old shop in Xinglin, the capital city. Half of the people in the city go there for medical treatment. Here, the expression was even more willful, and he provoked Ning Yunqing to give him the restaurant.
Ning Yunqing sighed, "When did he come yesterday?"
The man in the full moon whispered for a while, "Youshi, pity my brother who loves the food of your restaurant the most. I didn't expect to die because of the desire to eat. It's really sad and pitiful!"
drama.Ning Yunqing continued to ask: "Where is the guest who came with him yesterday? Is it okay?"
Man Yuenan realized something was wrong, raised his eyebrows and said, "My brother came here by himself yesterday."
"I didn't expect you to be so approachable, and you can call a beggar a brother." Ning Yunqing looked at the man on the shelf, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Did the restaurant change its price recently?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, and reported the price changes to the people in the village. If he didn't allow private adjustments, he would pack up and leave.Ning Yunqing showed some doubts on his face, "That's weird. Could it be that the unfortunate beggar only drank a cup of tea? But the rest of the restaurant also drank it, and saw that something happened to someone else."
There are many wealthy families in Dongshi, and the price of this restaurant in the Chu family is not low, and few come by themselves. Although the corpse that Man Yuenan found was wearing some old clothes, the clothes were baggy, not close-fitting, and a little short. His hands and ankles were all exposed, and his five fingers were blackened and had frostbite. No matter how he looked at it, he was not a son of a rich family. Ning Yunqing's questioning exposed this matter.Man Yuenan didn't expect that the little girl would be brave, but she was still careful, so she gritted her teeth and insisted: "Who do I call brother and brother? It's none of your business? I am willing to give him money to eat. If you eat dead people, you will give me money." Responsible!"
Ning Yunqing nodded lightly, and was about to push people into a corner, when she heard a cold shout from behind, "Sister, don't be ashamed again. My Chu family has always been brave, and we will take care of it if something happens. How can you keep messing around and make others laugh at you?"
Another head giver.Ning Yunqing turned around and chuckled, "Second Sister is here to eat at the restaurant? Unfortunately, I have to wait for a while today."
Hitting the soft cotton with a fist, Chu Tianhui's aggressive words were choked back, and he straightened his body and said: "Sister, it's better for a woman to marry, you see you are holding on, and you don't know when this leg will Is it okay? If I were you, I would ask my mother to find someone to marry, the Chu family is big, and I dare not let the huge Chu family village be destroyed by my hands."
Ning Yunqing looked down at her, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, got off the horse, and walked towards her step by step. Her pace was not fast, but Chu Tianhui frowned unconsciously. She was no worse than this The sister-in-law is much shorter, but she felt timid in her heart in vain, and pulled the maid to her side. She raised her chin and provocatively said, "It seems that my sister's legs are better, but running the Chu family does not depend on her legs. My sister still wants to Think about how to rectify the name of my Chu family."
Ning Yunqing smiled and said: "Second sister also thinks that young master's remarks are wrong, do we need to rectify his name?"
How can she pick up the leaks in anything?Chu Tianhui gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "Of course my family believes in the Chu family. If my sister wants to explain, please go to that young master and all the guest officials."
Ning Yunqing nodded, turned around and asked Man Yuenan, "Where did we go just now? You said someone from the Liu family medicine hall could see it?"
"That's right, the young lady from the pharmacy is here too, you can ask her if you don't believe me." The full moon man beamed with joy.Chu Tianhui also responded cooperatively, "Yes, our pharmacy sent people out to look at it last night. Sister..." Just as she was about to persuade her again, Ning Yunqing turned around and looked directly into her eyes and said, "Second sister, what's the matter?" Don't talk nonsense, don't ruin the reputation of Hua Tuo, the reincarnation of the Liu family."
I don't know how those eyes are long, they are just good-looking, but staring at her makes her heart tremble.Chu Tianhui dodged his gaze, and replied in a sly way: "Our Chu family is the most honest, my sister should admit it."
Ning Yunqing shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked back to the cart, Man Yuenan thought she was going to accuse him, so he smiled and waited, but unexpectedly he stopped halfway.Ning Yunqing reached out and took Chu Qiuxuan down, the two looked at each other, Chu Qiuxuan said to Man Yuenan: "If you want to know when this person died, you might as well get closer, my lord."
The delicate beauty opened her mouth to speak. Although the man in the moon hated dead corpses, he still took two steps to save face. He didn't know what happened. He stumbled and fell on the corpse when he was approaching the cart.
"Bah, bah, bah." His mouth was on the dead body's hand, and the man in the full moon hurried away to spit a few mouthfuls. Chu Qiuxuan said in a timely manner, "Young master, you should be able to notice that the man's hands are still warm. If he passed away last night, he should be cold." .”
Man Yuenan felt that he had been tricked, and wanted to yell at him but felt a little nauseous, so he retched, everyone at the scene turned away, Chu Tianhui gave him a glare, and stepped forward, "My lord forgot, what we said last night It was because he was afraid that the food would be spoiled, and there would be no cure for the medicine, and he did not say that he had passed away, so this person must have been unable to hold on earlier before going."
The full moon man echoed, "That's right, that's right."
The two were secretly delighted to lie, when Ning Yunqing's voice drifted over inappropriately, "Second sister, as a young wife, actually sits in court in person?"
"Of course I won't sit in the hall. But my lord will tell me about the medicine hall." Chu Tianhui opened his mouth to talk nonsense.
Ning Yunqing didn't expose it directly, but just smiled and said: "My brother-in-law seems to be a prodigal son, and he has also learned some medical skills. Second sister, sister is really happy for you."
Although Liu Feng is the second son of the Liu family, but due to the high expectations of his parents, he only studied the classics and history collections. He didn't know anything about Xinglin, but he was good at eating, drinking and having fun. Replied: "Sister, let's get busy with business first."
Ning Yunqing followed her wishes and looked at Man Yuenan puzzledly, "When I came here, I heard that the man in the car died at night because he ate restaurant food yesterday, but just now he changed his words and said that he died today, you Say that man is your brother, no matter whether he is a beggar or not, but since he is a brother, why can’t you tell when he passed away? Of course, the son may have too many things to remember. It’s just that people are today Therefore, you said that he died after eating yesterday's meal, don't you feel a little negligent?"
The man on the moon told her to be a little confused, he shook his head and responded: "Young Madam has testified just now, so why do you have to quibble?"
Ning Yunqing replied indifferently: "Young madam is in charge of the medicine hall?"
Chu Tianhui gritted his gums, and Man Yuenan shook his head honestly.Ning Yunqing said again: "Such a young lady can't be regarded as a doctor. The brother of Mr. Humane, who understands medical skills, ate bad food. I also heard that Miss Chu, who knows medical skills, said that the man died of poisoning. Since the young lady said It must be correct, and what Miss Chu said is naturally correct."
Man Yuenan was confused when he heard it. He looked at Chu Tianhui and saw that her eyes were red with anger. He turned his head away in fright and shouted with his small eyes open, "What's right? It's a mess. Your restaurant eats up bad people, so don't let me go." Do you know how to admit it? You can talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will report to the police to arrest you?"
Chu Tianhui narrowed her eyes. She knew that Ning Yunqing had the support of the magistrate, and the newspaper officer could not move her down, but it could cause her some troubles, so that the news could spread, so that the Chu family For the sake of rumors, the owner will be replaced, and her brother will have a chance to be the head of the family again, so she sent someone to invite the official before coming.
Coincidentally, the officials from the county government arrived at this time.
"It's all gone, it's gone." A group of officials trotted over, and the one in the front was wearing a black gauze hat with eye-catching patterns, and it was the county magistrate who came in person.Both Chu Tianhui and Man Yuenan were startled, but Er Er broke out in a cold sweat, because the magistrate put on a smiling face and looked flatteringly at Ning Yunqing, "Miss Chu, you are out of touch now, mansion Report something to the officer." After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to push the cart to Wu Zuo's side, and ordered the officer to send Man Yuenan, Chu Tianhui and others back to the yamen for questioning.
Ning Yunqing thanked the magistrate, and was about to go there together, when the magistrate stopped him: "How can I let you go, there will be some time to investigate the case. Just wait, I will send someone to invite you when the time comes."
Ning Yunqing thanked him again, after hearing the magistrate's cliché, she promised to help him speak well to the magistrate.After hearing this, the county magistrate left happily.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw it and hurried over to welcome the eldest lady in to rest.Ning Yunqing glanced at him faintly, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, you've been in this position for a long time, and you should take a rest when you think about it."
Qing Piao Piao's words made the shopkeeper kneel down with a thud, and he pointed to the money to support the whole family. Unfortunately, the eldest lady was not moved, and just sighed: "The Chu family doesn't want half-hearted people, you go and pack your things." After speaking, he turned his back and was about to get on the horse, but the shopkeeper shouted behind him: "Miss, it's Master Biao! Master Biao wants to kill you!"
■
On the way back, the two rode slowly on horseback.Thinking of something, Chu Qiuxuan glanced sideways at Ning Yunqing, and teased: "I never thought that our mother is so kind to the cheap son, and actually gave him money to make him trouble you."
"Do you think Xu Zirou asked Chu Tiancheng to do it?"
Chu Qiuxuan nodded, "Of course it was Chu Tiancheng who did it. Xu Zirou is not as stupid as him. She wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
The corners of Ning Yunqing's lips were slightly raised, and her face suddenly became more pleasant, "Yes. Of course she is not stupid."
■
I have to say that since the magistrate and the magistrate of the county had a scolding, the case at the county yamen has been dealt with more and more quickly, but within three days, someone from there came to invite Ning Yunqing to attend the court, and it turned out that it had nothing to do with the Chu family restaurant, it was the man of the full moon. It seems that the restaurant intentionally killed the beggar to trouble the Chu family village.Man Yuenan was sent to prison, and before he was dealt with, he was called by the county magistrate to kowtow to Ning Yunqing to make amends.
Ning Yunqing remembered that Man Yuenan's face was a little smaller at that time, and there were still welt marks on his hands, but he still looked like a regular customer of a restaurant. She sighed and looked at Chu Tianhui from the corner of her eye.People who are about to die have to confess their crimes to the eldest lady, let alone she who is destined to go back, Chu Tianhui is not reconciled, but the county magistrate and the Liu family have to warn her with righteous words and ask her to apologize to the eldest lady.No matter how unwilling she is in her heart, she still wants to live on. The only complaint is that she has no backer, so she can only bear with it, bowing her knees and begging: "Sister, I'm sorry. It's my sister who doesn't know people well, and wronged my sister."
Ning Yunqing helped her up with empty hands.Since then, Chu Tianhui has learned to be a man with his tail tucked, but the people who caused trouble for Ning Yunqing did not stop.
Half a month later, someone actually said that the Chu family secretly sold salt at the rice shop in Nanshi.Selling private salt in ancient times was a capital offense, but it is not difficult to solve it because it is from the bottom. You just need to learn from some people and push a buddy out.However, there are obvious disadvantages in doing so. First, it offends the rest of the staff in the village, and second, it makes her appear incompetent.
Ning Yunqing would not use such an inferior method, she didn't even seal up the shop, she just went around all the rice shops in her own house.Ancient table salt was a monopoly enterprise, and it was all owned by the government. The quantity that could be bought outside was limited, and even if it was sold, it could not be sold much.The capital is an inland area, and it is not surrounded by water, so it cannot be transported by water. Ning Yunqing guessed that the salt that leaked out probably came to the major taverns and inns. Take stock of your own table salt.
The result was actually as she expected, it was from her own property.Chu Qiuxuan asked her, "Chu Tiancheng asked for it again?"
Ning Yunqing denied, "Chu Tiancheng doesn't have the guts, I think it's Xu Zirou, she wants to get rid of both of us with this matter."
"So hateful?" Chu Qiuxuan looked surprised.Ning Yunqing echoed: "Yes, this time I will definitely teach her a lesson."
■
Finding out the cause of the matter does not mean solving the matter. Rumors of the Chu family selling private salt abound in the capital. Others can’t stop it, so Ning Yunqing had to stop her own first. All were dismissed, and people were sent to find those who bought the salt. The rich and the rich would understand it, and the poor would hire them as assistants in the Chu family village.
The matter gradually calmed down, but the dismissed guy was dissatisfied, and made a fuss in the Chu family's back house, threatening to pick the matter out and let the Chu family die.Xu Zirou, the mistress, calmed everyone down for a while, and when she returned to the house, she called Ning Yunqing over and scolded: "Look at the good deeds you have done. Selling private salt, you are going to drive the Chu family to a dead end!" Saying that, he raised his hand and threw the teacup on the table down, and with a bang, it fell apart on the spot and became a victim of discouragement.
Ning Yunqing avoids the fragments, sticks to the teapot and adds another cup to her, and offers it with both hands, seemingly respectful, but there is no respect on the face, "Mother calm down, those people are only for money. They joined as partners How can we get rid of this matter? It's just to scare us."
Xu Zirou wanted to overturn the tea that was handed over, but Ning Yunqing avoided her hand, put the tea directly on the table, approached and said: "Tianyu has found out the culprit of this matter, mother would like to hear listen?"
Xu Zirou stared at her with a condensed expression, "What do you want to say?"
Ning Yunqing smiled, "It seems that mother knows it herself. Since that's the case, I won't worry about it anymore. Mother, you and Tianqing have thought that my father under the nine springs may rest in peace?"
His eyes were sharp for a moment, Xu Zirou picked up the teacup and took a sip, then replied softly: "Don't talk nonsense, Tianqing is more cute than you, if I love her a little more, you will not be able to enjoy it? If you are as obedient as her, Maybe it’s you who I support this time.”
"Mother admits it?" Ning Yunqing asked narrowly.
Xu Zirou just frowned slightly, "What did I recognize? If you have time to mess around, why don't you deal with the people outside."
Ning Yunqing nodded, "That makes sense. Mom, wait a moment." After speaking, she turned and walked out.After a while, he came back with a piece of paper written on it.Xu Zirou saw that she was offering it with both hands, and took it with a cold face. When she opened it, a rare look of panic appeared on her face. The piece of paper actually wrote that the envoy was Chu Tianqing, and these people's signatures and stamps.
Xu Zirou wanted to tear up the paper, but before she could do it, she heard Ning Yunqing say: "Mother, they wrote this one today, and they can write another one tomorrow." Stretching out one hand, this is for that one Paper.Xu Zirou gave her a cold look and threw the paper over, "What do you want to do?"
Ning Yunqing smiled calmly: "Why does my mother always regard me as a villain? Tianqing is my younger sister, she has always been clinging to me, if my mother has not married, I am afraid she will still be my well-behaved and lovely younger sister." Xu Zirou was cold Her face remained silent, but Ning Yunqing still had a smile on her face, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not a cruel person. Tianqing and my sister, although they look a little younger, are at the right age for marriage. Mother Choose someone to marry her off."
"You..." Xu Zirou frowned.Ning Yunqing pretended to be puzzled, "What? Doesn't mother think that a daughter should marry when she is old? Don't forget that selling illegal salt is a capital offense."
Xu Zirou trembled again, her eyes fixed on Ning Yunqing, but Ning Yunqing still had a smiling face, "The Chu family is a big family, mother, don't treat my younger sister badly, you must find a good family, and in the future, you will be rich and prosperous." I. That’s right, I’m thinking of a family. How about that Wang Yuanwai who is in the cloth shop business? Tianqing married and had new clothes every day, so she must have lived happily.”
It is true that Wang Yuanwai is from a wealthy family in the capital, but he is old and well-known as an old pervert. He can be called the middle-aged version of Liu Feng, and what is worse than Liu Feng is that there is a Hedong lion in his family. Well, whoever wants to marry him will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.Xu Zirou felt that Ning Yunqing was deceiving people too much, and was rarely really angry. She raised her hand and dropped another cup of tea, pointing at Ning Yunqing and shouting: "Get out!"
Ning Yunqing hooked her chin lightly, said with a smile, "Think about it carefully." After speaking, she turned and walked out with another "roll".
Not long after she left, Chu Tianqing rushed over. Seeing the mess and Xu Zirou's face flushed slightly, she thought she was sullen, so she hurried over to comfort her, "What's the matter? I heard that you kicked the eldest lady out Already? The matter is not settled?"
Xu Zirou snorted coldly, "The boat capsized in the gutter. That girl has some skills, and she has all those guys in her hands."
Chu Tianqing smiled wryly, "She has the magistrate as her backer and occupies the Chu family's property, so it's not difficult to do this. But it's not difficult to bring her down. You are her mother in name, and you will serve the bowl another day Feed her the 'delicious soup' I made myself, won't it be enough?"
"How can she be so cheap?" Xu Zirou's eyes turned cold, "Do you know what she just said? She asked me to betroth you to Wang Yuanwai as a concubine. If she wants to make your life worse than death, I will let her live." Better to die."
"I know you care about me." Chu Tianqing leaned over and wanted to give a kiss, but Xu Zirou slapped the table and stood up, "I am still her mother, and she still needs to listen to me. Hmph, I will call She regrets it."
■
The next day, Xu Zirou called Chu Qiuxuan over, and when Chu Qiuxuan came back, Ning Yunqing saw her sneer, and couldn't help asking: "Why, did she make things difficult for you?"
"It's not just embarrassing, she's repaying her in the same way, and she wants to marry me too." Chu Qiuxuan sneered.
Ning Yunqing frowned slightly, "Who is she going to marry you to?"
Chu Qiuxuan scoffed, "Chu Tiancheng."
■
"Didn't you agree to touch the eldest lady? Why did you arrange a marriage for Chu Qiuxuan?" In Xu Zirou's room, Chu Tianqing was quite puzzled.
Xu Zirou took a sip of tea lightly and said, "You say you're dead or I'm dead, which one is more sad for you?"
This problem is like who to save if the wife and girlfriend fall into the water, it is the problem of the century.However, Chu Tianqing said without hesitation, "Of course it's you."
The corners of Xu Zirou's lips twitched slightly, "In the same way, letting someone she likes marry off is more sad than killing her. And I not only want to marry off the person she likes, but also marry her, so that she can watch him every day. The person you like is with someone else. What would you say if it were you?"
Chu Tianqing pretended to be shivering, "I'm probably going to go crazy." She leaned over with admiration on her face, "Your trick is really good, but it's not good for that girl to always occupy the position of the owner of the villa. You might as well take her as well." Get married."
Xu Zirou nodded, "Don't worry, let her suffer for a few more days first. Otherwise, I won't be happy. Besides, when Chu Tiancheng comes back, the two of them will definitely fight. Let's wait until they are tired from fighting and then kick the winner out." .”
■
The two young ladies of the Chu Family Manor both made a marriage contract. It was supposed to be a happy event, but no one in the house was really happy. Chu Tianqing’s mother, Aunt Ning, asked her wife many times, but she was rejected. She only said it was the young lady’s intention. , she went to beg Ning Yunqing again, but the response she got was her mother's order, and there was nothing she could do.Both sides said that it was not their fault, but Aunt Ning understood that she was still suffering, holding her daughter and crying every night, which only prevented Chu Tianqing from running to find Xu Zirou.
A few days later, the filial Chu Tiancheng returned to the mansion, and when he learned that Xu Zirou betrothed Chu Qiuxuan to him, he was flattered, and he didn't even care about his pride, so he took Xu Zirou as one of his own, and went to kowtow to express his gratitude Afterwards, he began to pester Chu Qiuxuan openly and aboveboard, euphemistically calling him looking at his wife.
The reason was justified, and Ning Yunqing couldn't stop her, so she began to put pressure on Xu Zirou to marry Chu Tianqing.Every time he said that, Xu Zirou would move Chu Qiuxuan out and suggest that Chu Qiuxuan be married to Chu Tiancheng first.The two were at a stalemate, and when the filial piety period was over, they had a violent quarrel. Xu Zirou directly fixed the marriage date for Chu Qiuxuan, which would be three days later.Ning Yunqing sneered, and also placed the bride price from Wang Yuan's family in her room, telling her to get married in three days.
Three days later, the Chu family village held another wedding event. Red silk was hung all over the courtyard, and the village was full of joy, but the rooms of the two girls were completely silent.Aunt Ning hugged her daughter and cried endlessly. In the end, Ning Yunqing forced her to marry her in front of Xu Zirou.Chu Tianqing got into the wedding sedan chair and left the Chu Family Manor forever.
On Chu Qiuxuan's side, because he was married to Master Zhuang, he was still in the house. Ning Yunqing ordered the maid to guard the door, and picked up the charcoal pencil on the table to outline Chu Qiuxuan's eyebrows.Today's Chu Qiuxuan is extremely magnificent, with a phoenix crown and a rosy collar, a beautiful face, and a beautiful appearance, shining like spring flowers, but unfortunately, there is stagnant water in those sparkling eyes, and she opened her mouth in an inaudible way, "Tianqing is gone? "
"Yeah." Ning Yunqing responded, the work in her hands didn't stop, Chu Qiuxuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, Er Er actually reached out to stop her, "Yunqing, are you willing to marry me?"
Ning Yunqing held her back, bitterness appeared on the corners of her lips, "You should know." She took out a dagger from her bosom, gently stuffed it into Chu Qiuxuan's hand, and was about to speak, but there was a noise outside the door , First the servant girl stopped her in a low voice, then she yelled loudly, and then a group of people broke in, the leader was Xu Zirou, the mistress of the Chu family.Up to now, she was too lazy to hide it, and directly showed her displeasure and resentment on her face, staring at Ning Yunqing and said: "Qiu Xuan is still from the Chu family when she gets married, so why do you care about this moment, sister Yu?"
Ning Yunqing frowned, stood up and faced the crowd, but stood firmly in front of Chu Qiuxuan.Xu Zirou sneered, and waved his hands to summon the two maids. Because the time was urgent, he ordered the eldest lady to be carried out. Seeing that Chu Tianlan was still stuck here, he coaxed with a half-smile, "Sister Lan'er, Your sister is happy, you go and watch over her, don't let her break the clock and delay your big sister Qiuxuan."
Chu Tianlan was a little puzzled, remembering what her sister said when Tianhui got married, she gave Xu Zirou a look, trotted after her, waved her hands to drive the two women away, and asked Ning Yunqing, "Sister, what are you doing?" Didn’t you say that girls cry when they get married? Why didn’t Tian Qing and sister Qiu Xuan cry?”
Ning Yunqing raised her hand and touched her head, but what she said was mysterious, "Probably they are not ordinary people."
Chu Tianlan couldn't understand, so she blinked her big round eyes, "Oh."
■
The night is already deep, the crescent moon is buried in the clouds and sleeps lightly, and the guests who joined in the fun have already dispersed early.Most of the lights in Chu's Manor were extinguished, but Xu Zirou's house was still on. Two candles were standing on the table, burning in clusters, and the person was sitting in the hall upright like the candles, not feeling tired. She Without making a sound, a pair of eyes stared straight ahead, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, the door creaked open, Xu Zirou saw the person coming, but still did not move, just said, "You are here."
Ning Yunqing nodded, walked over at a leisurely pace, half-bent down | and looked at her at the same level, "They all got what they deserved, now it's your turn." The corners of her lips were frivolous, she lifted Xu Zirou's jaw, and kissed her deeply past.
Xu Zirou still didn't move a little bit, but her resolute eyes were stained with a smile, and then she closed them gently.
"Boom--"
The night suddenly became solemn, a few flashes of lightning flashed in the air, splitting the villa from time to time, and the crescent moon was still hiding in the clouds, but the clouds were pressed down layer by layer, and even the wind that was resting in the evening came to the spirit , singing and following all the way, the door of Xu Zirou's room slammed, and then it opened directly with a bang.
The lightning was still flashing, black and white were intertwined outside the door, Ning Yunqing heard the sound, she pulled Xu Zirou into her arms, turned over to protect her behind her, and looked towards the door lightly.
"Boom—"
The thunder did not stop, but there was an extra person outside the door at some point, dressed in red, with long hair like a waterfall, who looked like a ghost from a distance.This "female ghost" moved in lightly. With the dim light in the room, Ning Yunqing saw that she was holding a dagger in her hand. Something seemed to be stuck on the dagger. As she walked, it fell on the ground drop by drop. , making a ticking sound.
"I thought you were different, but I didn't expect you to be a fickle lover." "Female Li Gui" sneered, her eyebrows and eyes were still delicate and bright when she raised her head, but the silence in those eyes was no longer indescribable. Eyelids, he looked at the two people not far away, and said, "Ning Yunqing, you have lived for so many years in vain, and now you can't even recognize who is the person you are looking for?"
Ning Yunqing looked at her, until now Chu Qiuxuan was the only face she could remember, but her heart was not as confused as it was at the beginning, and she held back the hand that Xu Zirou offered, Ning Yunqing's face was stained with a smile With a gentle and calm smile, "Of course I can recognize it clearly." She turned her head, looked at Xu Zirou, and said with a smile: "How can the cold data compare to my family's Fengxuan?"
Chu Qiuxuan's face was slightly startled, and he paused, revealing a bit of grievance, and bit his lips and said: "There is still a turning point, if you are stubborn, I will never forgive you."
Ning Yunqing hugged Xu Zirou, ignored her words, but smiled at Xu Zirou, "This is very similar to you."
Xu Zirou glanced at her, and moved to the front to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. Seeing that Ning Yunqing wanted to protect her again, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't even recognize you, how dare you protect me? Be honest."
Ning Yunqing pursed her lips and blinked her eyes, it was rare to be innocent, "But Feng Xuan, did you recognize the wrong person at first?"
Xu Zirou's cheeks were slightly red, she shook her hand while avoiding her gaze, and said angrily, "Then I also understood it earlier than you."
"Okay, okay." Ning Yunqing responded repeatedly.
The two showed their affection as if there was no one else present, which made Chu Qiuxuan on the side a little awkward. Fortunately, she just poured in the code of the character setting, without much thought, she just frowned and asked, "You already knew it? Why didn't you Want to give me a dagger?"
"Of course it's for points." Ning Yunqing smiled back.
Chu Qiuxuan suddenly realized that she was designed by Ning Yunqing to do many things to help the two of them, but
Ning Yunqing looked up at him. He was dressed like an inn waiter. Although he couldn't recognize him clearly, he should be her servant. The young man was young and had little knowledge, and when he encountered something, he would sweat all over his head in a hurry. , she turned her head to look at the maid standing beside her, and ordered, "Go and pour him a bowl of tea."
The boy took the tea, not knowing whether to be moved or impulsive, his hands trembling slightly, he hesitated and said: "Miss, please go to the restaurant first. The man called a group of people to bet at the door, we I can’t even do business with them. The shopkeeper is dealing with them, it seems that the man still has some background, he dare not act rashly, so he asked the younger one to invite you.”
Ning Yunqing responded, and asked casually: "The person who came here called me by name and wanted to see me?"
The little servant was startled, and nodded in a daze.Ning Yunqing understood, and smiled at him, "Drink the tea. In a short time, I will go with you." After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at the dazed servant, got up and walked out, and opened the door Seeing that Chu Qiuxuan was about to go in with a bowl of lotus seed soup, she frowned and said, "Unfortunately, I'm going out just now, let's put it in the room. Drink it when I come back."
"It was cold by then." Chu Qiuxuan pouted, handed the soup to the maid behind him, and asked closer, "What's the matter? Do you want me to call you godmother?"
Ning Yunqing smiled and replied: "No need, but there is a gentleman in Dongshi Restaurant who wants to see me. If you are idle and bored, why don't you join in the fun?"
Taking Ning Yunqing's hand very casually, Chu Qiuxuanyun smiled and said, "Okay."
■
"Are you in control? If you can't do it, get the hell out of here and tell the masters of the Chu Family Village to come out!"
The flag of the restaurant hadn't been seen yet, but the yelling came from afar. The boy who led the way looked at the eldest lady anxiously. He thought that the eldest lady would be calm and frightened like a normal girl, but unexpectedly this time Disappointed, the eldest lady of his family didn't even frown, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her lips when she looked closely. It was really Mount Tai who collapsed in front of her and her face remained unchanged. She was either an expert or she was shocked.
The young servant's unopened face was wrinkled and filled with doubts. He persuaded: "Miss, it's the gentleman in front. There are quite a lot of them. Do you want to find... to report to the official?"
"No need." The corners of Ning Yunqing's lips raised slightly, and she rode over leisurely. She was not taller than a man, but because the pony was unexpectedly eye-catching, the shopkeeper saw her from afar, with eyes in her eyes. With a flash of light, he called out with a bitter face, "Miss!"
This call was like a long sword piercing the clouds, and it directly scattered the crowd to the left and right, clearing a way for Ning Yunqing.Ning Yunqing didn't get off her horse, so she just walked over condescendingly. As the saying goes, standing high can see far away, and Ning Yunqing sitting high can see clearly. She saw a group of men outside the restaurant. Brocade costumes, a jade crown on the head, a face like a full moon, and a body like Bajie, she looks like a regular customer of a restaurant.Ning Yunqing greeted him with his eyes, the man with a full moon glanced at her, then at Chu Qiuxuan behind her, as if gaining confidence, he raised his head and laughed, he smiled, the pile of flowers beside him The servant with the stick laughed too.
The laughter lasted for about three moments. The man on the moon felt that his neck was a bit heavy, and he retracted his big head. The smile on the corner of his mouth did not fade. The girl was expressionless, and there were other emotions in those two beautiful eyes. He didn't read much and couldn't express it, but he felt clearly uncomfortable in his heart.Flattening his mouth, he raised the corners of his stiff lips, and he raised his eyebrows to sneer, "Is there no one in the Chu family village? Call a yellow-haired girl to be the director? Hurry up and call out the head of the family, you will kill someone, you know?"
The full-moon man's eyes were round and round, and his flesh was extremely ferocious. He thought that this would be able to scare the little girl, but unexpectedly, the other party curled up his lips and smiled lightly, "Unfortunately, this is the Chu family. The head of the Zhuang family, this young master just revealed his life, where is this life?"
"I see you're a little girl, I'm afraid you'll be fooled." Man Yuenan raised his head and said in a considerate tone, "Go back quickly and call your brother."
Is this going to be counted on Chu Tiancheng?The smile on Ning Yunqing's face remained undiminished, and his words were cold and alienated, "Thank you for your compassion, sir. It's just that something happened to my restaurant, and I, the big shopkeeper, have to pay some responsibility. Please show me, sir."
Man Yuenan didn't think that the little girl was really brave, so he waved his hand to get the servant out of the way, and a cart rolled up with bedding was exposed. Ning Yunqing ordered the boy to get a wooden stick, and when the things were brought, he held on to the wooden stick and Lift up the hood covering it.The surrounding people all took a step back, accompanied by the woman's gasp, Ning Yunqing turned her head and asked Man Yuenan, "Is that him?"
Man Yuenan didn't think that there are women who are not afraid of death. He was stunned for a while, pretending to be a tiger and nodded, "Yes, I ate the food from your restaurant yesterday, and I died. Give me an explanation, or I will kill you." Go to the police and let you..."
Before finishing the threatening words, Ning Yunqing looked at him abruptly, "Are you really going to report to the police?"
The full moon man thought she was being bluffed by him, and nodded arrogantly, "Naturally. As long as you..." He took two steps closer, because Ning Yunqing was on the horse and couldn't touch her ear, so he tiptoed and whispered Said: "Give me the hotel, and give me a large amount of silver, and I will..."
The full moon man's mouth has magical powers, opening and closing the air changed the taste, Ning Yunqing couldn't help turning his head, looked at Chu Qiuxuan, and handed her the stick, "Qiuxuan, I remember you always liked to read Xinglin books, you Doesn't this guy look weird?"
Chu Qiuxuan glanced at the man's corpse, and replied, "It's poison."
"Yes, he was poisoned to death after eating your food!" Man Yuenan yelled after him, but Chu Qiuxuan didn't answer him, and sighed: "Looking at this, he should have been dead for two hours."
Two hours naturally couldn't reach yesterday, Man Yuenan immediately shook his fat and smiled when he heard this, "I'm just talking nonsense, I just asked someone from the medicine hall to see that this person died after eating bad food. What do you want at this time?" Sophistry? Are you bullying us ordinary people because of your Chu family's great fortune?"
Ning Yunqing still didn't have too much emotion on her face, she just said calmly: "Which medicine hall did you invite to see?"
"Liu's Medicine Hall." Man Yuenan looked smug. Liu's Medicine Hall is an old shop in Xinglin, the capital city. Half of the people in the city go there for medical treatment. Here, the expression was even more willful, and he provoked Ning Yunqing to give him the restaurant.
Ning Yunqing sighed, "When did he come yesterday?"
The man in the full moon whispered for a while, "Youshi, pity my brother who loves the food of your restaurant the most. I didn't expect to die because of the desire to eat. It's really sad and pitiful!"
drama.Ning Yunqing continued to ask: "Where is the guest who came with him yesterday? Is it okay?"
Man Yuenan realized something was wrong, raised his eyebrows and said, "My brother came here by himself yesterday."
"I didn't expect you to be so approachable, and you can call a beggar a brother." Ning Yunqing looked at the man on the shelf, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Did the restaurant change its price recently?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, and reported the price changes to the people in the village. If he didn't allow private adjustments, he would pack up and leave.Ning Yunqing showed some doubts on his face, "That's weird. Could it be that the unfortunate beggar only drank a cup of tea? But the rest of the restaurant also drank it, and saw that something happened to someone else."
There are many wealthy families in Dongshi, and the price of this restaurant in the Chu family is not low, and few come by themselves. Although the corpse that Man Yuenan found was wearing some old clothes, the clothes were baggy, not close-fitting, and a little short. His hands and ankles were all exposed, and his five fingers were blackened and had frostbite. No matter how he looked at it, he was not a son of a rich family. Ning Yunqing's questioning exposed this matter.Man Yuenan didn't expect that the little girl would be brave, but she was still careful, so she gritted her teeth and insisted: "Who do I call brother and brother? It's none of your business? I am willing to give him money to eat. If you eat dead people, you will give me money." Responsible!"
Ning Yunqing nodded lightly, and was about to push people into a corner, when she heard a cold shout from behind, "Sister, don't be ashamed again. My Chu family has always been brave, and we will take care of it if something happens. How can you keep messing around and make others laugh at you?"
Another head giver.Ning Yunqing turned around and chuckled, "Second Sister is here to eat at the restaurant? Unfortunately, I have to wait for a while today."
Hitting the soft cotton with a fist, Chu Tianhui's aggressive words were choked back, and he straightened his body and said: "Sister, it's better for a woman to marry, you see you are holding on, and you don't know when this leg will Is it okay? If I were you, I would ask my mother to find someone to marry, the Chu family is big, and I dare not let the huge Chu family village be destroyed by my hands."
Ning Yunqing looked down at her, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, got off the horse, and walked towards her step by step. Her pace was not fast, but Chu Tianhui frowned unconsciously. She was no worse than this The sister-in-law is much shorter, but she felt timid in her heart in vain, and pulled the maid to her side. She raised her chin and provocatively said, "It seems that my sister's legs are better, but running the Chu family does not depend on her legs. My sister still wants to Think about how to rectify the name of my Chu family."
Ning Yunqing smiled and said: "Second sister also thinks that young master's remarks are wrong, do we need to rectify his name?"
How can she pick up the leaks in anything?Chu Tianhui gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "Of course my family believes in the Chu family. If my sister wants to explain, please go to that young master and all the guest officials."
Ning Yunqing nodded, turned around and asked Man Yuenan, "Where did we go just now? You said someone from the Liu family medicine hall could see it?"
"That's right, the young lady from the pharmacy is here too, you can ask her if you don't believe me." The full moon man beamed with joy.Chu Tianhui also responded cooperatively, "Yes, our pharmacy sent people out to look at it last night. Sister..." Just as she was about to persuade her again, Ning Yunqing turned around and looked directly into her eyes and said, "Second sister, what's the matter?" Don't talk nonsense, don't ruin the reputation of Hua Tuo, the reincarnation of the Liu family."
I don't know how those eyes are long, they are just good-looking, but staring at her makes her heart tremble.Chu Tianhui dodged his gaze, and replied in a sly way: "Our Chu family is the most honest, my sister should admit it."
Ning Yunqing shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked back to the cart, Man Yuenan thought she was going to accuse him, so he smiled and waited, but unexpectedly he stopped halfway.Ning Yunqing reached out and took Chu Qiuxuan down, the two looked at each other, Chu Qiuxuan said to Man Yuenan: "If you want to know when this person died, you might as well get closer, my lord."
The delicate beauty opened her mouth to speak. Although the man in the moon hated dead corpses, he still took two steps to save face. He didn't know what happened. He stumbled and fell on the corpse when he was approaching the cart.
"Bah, bah, bah." His mouth was on the dead body's hand, and the man in the full moon hurried away to spit a few mouthfuls. Chu Qiuxuan said in a timely manner, "Young master, you should be able to notice that the man's hands are still warm. If he passed away last night, he should be cold." .”
Man Yuenan felt that he had been tricked, and wanted to yell at him but felt a little nauseous, so he retched, everyone at the scene turned away, Chu Tianhui gave him a glare, and stepped forward, "My lord forgot, what we said last night It was because he was afraid that the food would be spoiled, and there would be no cure for the medicine, and he did not say that he had passed away, so this person must have been unable to hold on earlier before going."
The full moon man echoed, "That's right, that's right."
The two were secretly delighted to lie, when Ning Yunqing's voice drifted over inappropriately, "Second sister, as a young wife, actually sits in court in person?"
"Of course I won't sit in the hall. But my lord will tell me about the medicine hall." Chu Tianhui opened his mouth to talk nonsense.
Ning Yunqing didn't expose it directly, but just smiled and said: "My brother-in-law seems to be a prodigal son, and he has also learned some medical skills. Second sister, sister is really happy for you."
Although Liu Feng is the second son of the Liu family, but due to the high expectations of his parents, he only studied the classics and history collections. He didn't know anything about Xinglin, but he was good at eating, drinking and having fun. Replied: "Sister, let's get busy with business first."
Ning Yunqing followed her wishes and looked at Man Yuenan puzzledly, "When I came here, I heard that the man in the car died at night because he ate restaurant food yesterday, but just now he changed his words and said that he died today, you Say that man is your brother, no matter whether he is a beggar or not, but since he is a brother, why can’t you tell when he passed away? Of course, the son may have too many things to remember. It’s just that people are today Therefore, you said that he died after eating yesterday's meal, don't you feel a little negligent?"
The man on the moon told her to be a little confused, he shook his head and responded: "Young Madam has testified just now, so why do you have to quibble?"
Ning Yunqing replied indifferently: "Young madam is in charge of the medicine hall?"
Chu Tianhui gritted his gums, and Man Yuenan shook his head honestly.Ning Yunqing said again: "Such a young lady can't be regarded as a doctor. The brother of Mr. Humane, who understands medical skills, ate bad food. I also heard that Miss Chu, who knows medical skills, said that the man died of poisoning. Since the young lady said It must be correct, and what Miss Chu said is naturally correct."
Man Yuenan was confused when he heard it. He looked at Chu Tianhui and saw that her eyes were red with anger. He turned his head away in fright and shouted with his small eyes open, "What's right? It's a mess. Your restaurant eats up bad people, so don't let me go." Do you know how to admit it? You can talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will report to the police to arrest you?"
Chu Tianhui narrowed her eyes. She knew that Ning Yunqing had the support of the magistrate, and the newspaper officer could not move her down, but it could cause her some troubles, so that the news could spread, so that the Chu family For the sake of rumors, the owner will be replaced, and her brother will have a chance to be the head of the family again, so she sent someone to invite the official before coming.
Coincidentally, the officials from the county government arrived at this time.
"It's all gone, it's gone." A group of officials trotted over, and the one in the front was wearing a black gauze hat with eye-catching patterns, and it was the county magistrate who came in person.Both Chu Tianhui and Man Yuenan were startled, but Er Er broke out in a cold sweat, because the magistrate put on a smiling face and looked flatteringly at Ning Yunqing, "Miss Chu, you are out of touch now, mansion Report something to the officer." After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to push the cart to Wu Zuo's side, and ordered the officer to send Man Yuenan, Chu Tianhui and others back to the yamen for questioning.
Ning Yunqing thanked the magistrate, and was about to go there together, when the magistrate stopped him: "How can I let you go, there will be some time to investigate the case. Just wait, I will send someone to invite you when the time comes."
Ning Yunqing thanked him again, after hearing the magistrate's cliché, she promised to help him speak well to the magistrate.After hearing this, the county magistrate left happily.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw it and hurried over to welcome the eldest lady in to rest.Ning Yunqing glanced at him faintly, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, you've been in this position for a long time, and you should take a rest when you think about it."
Qing Piao Piao's words made the shopkeeper kneel down with a thud, and he pointed to the money to support the whole family. Unfortunately, the eldest lady was not moved, and just sighed: "The Chu family doesn't want half-hearted people, you go and pack your things." After speaking, he turned his back and was about to get on the horse, but the shopkeeper shouted behind him: "Miss, it's Master Biao! Master Biao wants to kill you!"
■
On the way back, the two rode slowly on horseback.Thinking of something, Chu Qiuxuan glanced sideways at Ning Yunqing, and teased: "I never thought that our mother is so kind to the cheap son, and actually gave him money to make him trouble you."
"Do you think Xu Zirou asked Chu Tiancheng to do it?"
Chu Qiuxuan nodded, "Of course it was Chu Tiancheng who did it. Xu Zirou is not as stupid as him. She wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."
The corners of Ning Yunqing's lips were slightly raised, and her face suddenly became more pleasant, "Yes. Of course she is not stupid."
■
I have to say that since the magistrate and the magistrate of the county had a scolding, the case at the county yamen has been dealt with more and more quickly, but within three days, someone from there came to invite Ning Yunqing to attend the court, and it turned out that it had nothing to do with the Chu family restaurant, it was the man of the full moon. It seems that the restaurant intentionally killed the beggar to trouble the Chu family village.Man Yuenan was sent to prison, and before he was dealt with, he was called by the county magistrate to kowtow to Ning Yunqing to make amends.
Ning Yunqing remembered that Man Yuenan's face was a little smaller at that time, and there were still welt marks on his hands, but he still looked like a regular customer of a restaurant. She sighed and looked at Chu Tianhui from the corner of her eye.People who are about to die have to confess their crimes to the eldest lady, let alone she who is destined to go back, Chu Tianhui is not reconciled, but the county magistrate and the Liu family have to warn her with righteous words and ask her to apologize to the eldest lady.No matter how unwilling she is in her heart, she still wants to live on. The only complaint is that she has no backer, so she can only bear with it, bowing her knees and begging: "Sister, I'm sorry. It's my sister who doesn't know people well, and wronged my sister."
Ning Yunqing helped her up with empty hands.Since then, Chu Tianhui has learned to be a man with his tail tucked, but the people who caused trouble for Ning Yunqing did not stop.
Half a month later, someone actually said that the Chu family secretly sold salt at the rice shop in Nanshi.Selling private salt in ancient times was a capital offense, but it is not difficult to solve it because it is from the bottom. You just need to learn from some people and push a buddy out.However, there are obvious disadvantages in doing so. First, it offends the rest of the staff in the village, and second, it makes her appear incompetent.
Ning Yunqing would not use such an inferior method, she didn't even seal up the shop, she just went around all the rice shops in her own house.Ancient table salt was a monopoly enterprise, and it was all owned by the government. The quantity that could be bought outside was limited, and even if it was sold, it could not be sold much.The capital is an inland area, and it is not surrounded by water, so it cannot be transported by water. Ning Yunqing guessed that the salt that leaked out probably came to the major taverns and inns. Take stock of your own table salt.
The result was actually as she expected, it was from her own property.Chu Qiuxuan asked her, "Chu Tiancheng asked for it again?"
Ning Yunqing denied, "Chu Tiancheng doesn't have the guts, I think it's Xu Zirou, she wants to get rid of both of us with this matter."
"So hateful?" Chu Qiuxuan looked surprised.Ning Yunqing echoed: "Yes, this time I will definitely teach her a lesson."
■
Finding out the cause of the matter does not mean solving the matter. Rumors of the Chu family selling private salt abound in the capital. Others can’t stop it, so Ning Yunqing had to stop her own first. All were dismissed, and people were sent to find those who bought the salt. The rich and the rich would understand it, and the poor would hire them as assistants in the Chu family village.
The matter gradually calmed down, but the dismissed guy was dissatisfied, and made a fuss in the Chu family's back house, threatening to pick the matter out and let the Chu family die.Xu Zirou, the mistress, calmed everyone down for a while, and when she returned to the house, she called Ning Yunqing over and scolded: "Look at the good deeds you have done. Selling private salt, you are going to drive the Chu family to a dead end!" Saying that, he raised his hand and threw the teacup on the table down, and with a bang, it fell apart on the spot and became a victim of discouragement.
Ning Yunqing avoids the fragments, sticks to the teapot and adds another cup to her, and offers it with both hands, seemingly respectful, but there is no respect on the face, "Mother calm down, those people are only for money. They joined as partners How can we get rid of this matter? It's just to scare us."
Xu Zirou wanted to overturn the tea that was handed over, but Ning Yunqing avoided her hand, put the tea directly on the table, approached and said: "Tianyu has found out the culprit of this matter, mother would like to hear listen?"
Xu Zirou stared at her with a condensed expression, "What do you want to say?"
Ning Yunqing smiled, "It seems that mother knows it herself. Since that's the case, I won't worry about it anymore. Mother, you and Tianqing have thought that my father under the nine springs may rest in peace?"
His eyes were sharp for a moment, Xu Zirou picked up the teacup and took a sip, then replied softly: "Don't talk nonsense, Tianqing is more cute than you, if I love her a little more, you will not be able to enjoy it? If you are as obedient as her, Maybe it’s you who I support this time.”
"Mother admits it?" Ning Yunqing asked narrowly.
Xu Zirou just frowned slightly, "What did I recognize? If you have time to mess around, why don't you deal with the people outside."
Ning Yunqing nodded, "That makes sense. Mom, wait a moment." After speaking, she turned and walked out.After a while, he came back with a piece of paper written on it.Xu Zirou saw that she was offering it with both hands, and took it with a cold face. When she opened it, a rare look of panic appeared on her face. The piece of paper actually wrote that the envoy was Chu Tianqing, and these people's signatures and stamps.
Xu Zirou wanted to tear up the paper, but before she could do it, she heard Ning Yunqing say: "Mother, they wrote this one today, and they can write another one tomorrow." Stretching out one hand, this is for that one Paper.Xu Zirou gave her a cold look and threw the paper over, "What do you want to do?"
Ning Yunqing smiled calmly: "Why does my mother always regard me as a villain? Tianqing is my younger sister, she has always been clinging to me, if my mother has not married, I am afraid she will still be my well-behaved and lovely younger sister." Xu Zirou was cold Her face remained silent, but Ning Yunqing still had a smile on her face, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not a cruel person. Tianqing and my sister, although they look a little younger, are at the right age for marriage. Mother Choose someone to marry her off."
"You..." Xu Zirou frowned.Ning Yunqing pretended to be puzzled, "What? Doesn't mother think that a daughter should marry when she is old? Don't forget that selling illegal salt is a capital offense."
Xu Zirou trembled again, her eyes fixed on Ning Yunqing, but Ning Yunqing still had a smiling face, "The Chu family is a big family, mother, don't treat my younger sister badly, you must find a good family, and in the future, you will be rich and prosperous." I. That’s right, I’m thinking of a family. How about that Wang Yuanwai who is in the cloth shop business? Tianqing married and had new clothes every day, so she must have lived happily.”
It is true that Wang Yuanwai is from a wealthy family in the capital, but he is old and well-known as an old pervert. He can be called the middle-aged version of Liu Feng, and what is worse than Liu Feng is that there is a Hedong lion in his family. Well, whoever wants to marry him will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.Xu Zirou felt that Ning Yunqing was deceiving people too much, and was rarely really angry. She raised her hand and dropped another cup of tea, pointing at Ning Yunqing and shouting: "Get out!"
Ning Yunqing hooked her chin lightly, said with a smile, "Think about it carefully." After speaking, she turned and walked out with another "roll".
Not long after she left, Chu Tianqing rushed over. Seeing the mess and Xu Zirou's face flushed slightly, she thought she was sullen, so she hurried over to comfort her, "What's the matter? I heard that you kicked the eldest lady out Already? The matter is not settled?"
Xu Zirou snorted coldly, "The boat capsized in the gutter. That girl has some skills, and she has all those guys in her hands."
Chu Tianqing smiled wryly, "She has the magistrate as her backer and occupies the Chu family's property, so it's not difficult to do this. But it's not difficult to bring her down. You are her mother in name, and you will serve the bowl another day Feed her the 'delicious soup' I made myself, won't it be enough?"
"How can she be so cheap?" Xu Zirou's eyes turned cold, "Do you know what she just said? She asked me to betroth you to Wang Yuanwai as a concubine. If she wants to make your life worse than death, I will let her live." Better to die."
"I know you care about me." Chu Tianqing leaned over and wanted to give a kiss, but Xu Zirou slapped the table and stood up, "I am still her mother, and she still needs to listen to me. Hmph, I will call She regrets it."
■
The next day, Xu Zirou called Chu Qiuxuan over, and when Chu Qiuxuan came back, Ning Yunqing saw her sneer, and couldn't help asking: "Why, did she make things difficult for you?"
"It's not just embarrassing, she's repaying her in the same way, and she wants to marry me too." Chu Qiuxuan sneered.
Ning Yunqing frowned slightly, "Who is she going to marry you to?"
Chu Qiuxuan scoffed, "Chu Tiancheng."
■
"Didn't you agree to touch the eldest lady? Why did you arrange a marriage for Chu Qiuxuan?" In Xu Zirou's room, Chu Tianqing was quite puzzled.
Xu Zirou took a sip of tea lightly and said, "You say you're dead or I'm dead, which one is more sad for you?"
This problem is like who to save if the wife and girlfriend fall into the water, it is the problem of the century.However, Chu Tianqing said without hesitation, "Of course it's you."
The corners of Xu Zirou's lips twitched slightly, "In the same way, letting someone she likes marry off is more sad than killing her. And I not only want to marry off the person she likes, but also marry her, so that she can watch him every day. The person you like is with someone else. What would you say if it were you?"
Chu Tianqing pretended to be shivering, "I'm probably going to go crazy." She leaned over with admiration on her face, "Your trick is really good, but it's not good for that girl to always occupy the position of the owner of the villa. You might as well take her as well." Get married."
Xu Zirou nodded, "Don't worry, let her suffer for a few more days first. Otherwise, I won't be happy. Besides, when Chu Tiancheng comes back, the two of them will definitely fight. Let's wait until they are tired from fighting and then kick the winner out." .”
■
The two young ladies of the Chu Family Manor both made a marriage contract. It was supposed to be a happy event, but no one in the house was really happy. Chu Tianqing’s mother, Aunt Ning, asked her wife many times, but she was rejected. She only said it was the young lady’s intention. , she went to beg Ning Yunqing again, but the response she got was her mother's order, and there was nothing she could do.Both sides said that it was not their fault, but Aunt Ning understood that she was still suffering, holding her daughter and crying every night, which only prevented Chu Tianqing from running to find Xu Zirou.
A few days later, the filial Chu Tiancheng returned to the mansion, and when he learned that Xu Zirou betrothed Chu Qiuxuan to him, he was flattered, and he didn't even care about his pride, so he took Xu Zirou as one of his own, and went to kowtow to express his gratitude Afterwards, he began to pester Chu Qiuxuan openly and aboveboard, euphemistically calling him looking at his wife.
The reason was justified, and Ning Yunqing couldn't stop her, so she began to put pressure on Xu Zirou to marry Chu Tianqing.Every time he said that, Xu Zirou would move Chu Qiuxuan out and suggest that Chu Qiuxuan be married to Chu Tiancheng first.The two were at a stalemate, and when the filial piety period was over, they had a violent quarrel. Xu Zirou directly fixed the marriage date for Chu Qiuxuan, which would be three days later.Ning Yunqing sneered, and also placed the bride price from Wang Yuan's family in her room, telling her to get married in three days.
Three days later, the Chu family village held another wedding event. Red silk was hung all over the courtyard, and the village was full of joy, but the rooms of the two girls were completely silent.Aunt Ning hugged her daughter and cried endlessly. In the end, Ning Yunqing forced her to marry her in front of Xu Zirou.Chu Tianqing got into the wedding sedan chair and left the Chu Family Manor forever.
On Chu Qiuxuan's side, because he was married to Master Zhuang, he was still in the house. Ning Yunqing ordered the maid to guard the door, and picked up the charcoal pencil on the table to outline Chu Qiuxuan's eyebrows.Today's Chu Qiuxuan is extremely magnificent, with a phoenix crown and a rosy collar, a beautiful face, and a beautiful appearance, shining like spring flowers, but unfortunately, there is stagnant water in those sparkling eyes, and she opened her mouth in an inaudible way, "Tianqing is gone? "
"Yeah." Ning Yunqing responded, the work in her hands didn't stop, Chu Qiuxuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, Er Er actually reached out to stop her, "Yunqing, are you willing to marry me?"
Ning Yunqing held her back, bitterness appeared on the corners of her lips, "You should know." She took out a dagger from her bosom, gently stuffed it into Chu Qiuxuan's hand, and was about to speak, but there was a noise outside the door , First the servant girl stopped her in a low voice, then she yelled loudly, and then a group of people broke in, the leader was Xu Zirou, the mistress of the Chu family.Up to now, she was too lazy to hide it, and directly showed her displeasure and resentment on her face, staring at Ning Yunqing and said: "Qiu Xuan is still from the Chu family when she gets married, so why do you care about this moment, sister Yu?"
Ning Yunqing frowned, stood up and faced the crowd, but stood firmly in front of Chu Qiuxuan.Xu Zirou sneered, and waved his hands to summon the two maids. Because the time was urgent, he ordered the eldest lady to be carried out. Seeing that Chu Tianlan was still stuck here, he coaxed with a half-smile, "Sister Lan'er, Your sister is happy, you go and watch over her, don't let her break the clock and delay your big sister Qiuxuan."
Chu Tianlan was a little puzzled, remembering what her sister said when Tianhui got married, she gave Xu Zirou a look, trotted after her, waved her hands to drive the two women away, and asked Ning Yunqing, "Sister, what are you doing?" Didn’t you say that girls cry when they get married? Why didn’t Tian Qing and sister Qiu Xuan cry?”
Ning Yunqing raised her hand and touched her head, but what she said was mysterious, "Probably they are not ordinary people."
Chu Tianlan couldn't understand, so she blinked her big round eyes, "Oh."
■
The night is already deep, the crescent moon is buried in the clouds and sleeps lightly, and the guests who joined in the fun have already dispersed early.Most of the lights in Chu's Manor were extinguished, but Xu Zirou's house was still on. Two candles were standing on the table, burning in clusters, and the person was sitting in the hall upright like the candles, not feeling tired. She Without making a sound, a pair of eyes stared straight ahead, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, the door creaked open, Xu Zirou saw the person coming, but still did not move, just said, "You are here."
Ning Yunqing nodded, walked over at a leisurely pace, half-bent down | and looked at her at the same level, "They all got what they deserved, now it's your turn." The corners of her lips were frivolous, she lifted Xu Zirou's jaw, and kissed her deeply past.
Xu Zirou still didn't move a little bit, but her resolute eyes were stained with a smile, and then she closed them gently.
"Boom--"
The night suddenly became solemn, a few flashes of lightning flashed in the air, splitting the villa from time to time, and the crescent moon was still hiding in the clouds, but the clouds were pressed down layer by layer, and even the wind that was resting in the evening came to the spirit , singing and following all the way, the door of Xu Zirou's room slammed, and then it opened directly with a bang.
The lightning was still flashing, black and white were intertwined outside the door, Ning Yunqing heard the sound, she pulled Xu Zirou into her arms, turned over to protect her behind her, and looked towards the door lightly.
"Boom—"
The thunder did not stop, but there was an extra person outside the door at some point, dressed in red, with long hair like a waterfall, who looked like a ghost from a distance.This "female ghost" moved in lightly. With the dim light in the room, Ning Yunqing saw that she was holding a dagger in her hand. Something seemed to be stuck on the dagger. As she walked, it fell on the ground drop by drop. , making a ticking sound.
"I thought you were different, but I didn't expect you to be a fickle lover." "Female Li Gui" sneered, her eyebrows and eyes were still delicate and bright when she raised her head, but the silence in those eyes was no longer indescribable. Eyelids, he looked at the two people not far away, and said, "Ning Yunqing, you have lived for so many years in vain, and now you can't even recognize who is the person you are looking for?"
Ning Yunqing looked at her, until now Chu Qiuxuan was the only face she could remember, but her heart was not as confused as it was at the beginning, and she held back the hand that Xu Zirou offered, Ning Yunqing's face was stained with a smile With a gentle and calm smile, "Of course I can recognize it clearly." She turned her head, looked at Xu Zirou, and said with a smile: "How can the cold data compare to my family's Fengxuan?"
Chu Qiuxuan's face was slightly startled, and he paused, revealing a bit of grievance, and bit his lips and said: "There is still a turning point, if you are stubborn, I will never forgive you."
Ning Yunqing hugged Xu Zirou, ignored her words, but smiled at Xu Zirou, "This is very similar to you."
Xu Zirou glanced at her, and moved to the front to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. Seeing that Ning Yunqing wanted to protect her again, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't even recognize you, how dare you protect me? Be honest."
Ning Yunqing pursed her lips and blinked her eyes, it was rare to be innocent, "But Feng Xuan, did you recognize the wrong person at first?"
Xu Zirou's cheeks were slightly red, she shook her hand while avoiding her gaze, and said angrily, "Then I also understood it earlier than you."
"Okay, okay." Ning Yunqing responded repeatedly.
The two showed their affection as if there was no one else present, which made Chu Qiuxuan on the side a little awkward. Fortunately, she just poured in the code of the character setting, without much thought, she just frowned and asked, "You already knew it? Why didn't you Want to give me a dagger?"
"Of course it's for points." Ning Yunqing smiled back.
Chu Qiuxuan suddenly realized that she was designed by Ning Yunqing to do many things to help the two of them, but
