Seeing that Ning Yu agreed, Yang Haozhuo turned to Liu Jin and ordered: "Hurry up and make arrangements. By the way, let someone see what Sister Han and Sister Zhao are doing, and ask them if they want to come and sit down? And Haoran and Yuan
Brother, call everyone."
Liu Jin bowed down and turned around to do the order.
A crowd of servants rushed to Yuejing Pavilion. In the blink of an eye, Yuejing Pavilion was newly decorated and the table was filled with fruit refreshments.
Several people entered Yuejing Pavilion, and Ning He pulled Yang Xinye behind. After Shi Jingyang sat down, he and Yang Xinye sat down opposite Shi Jingyang.
After a few people sat down, the maid came over to serve tea.
The maid retreated, and Shi Jingyang turned to Qingshan outside the door and shouted: "Qingshan, go to the car and fetch the wood carvings I carved for Miss Lu Er and Ning Er."
Qingshan bowed in agreement, turned around and left.
Yang Haozhuo put down his tea cup, looked at Shi Jingyang and asked: "Qing'an, in just two days, you actually carved all six wood carvings? Honestly, are you just perfunctory and without any intention?"
"If you are not satisfied, you can return yours." Shi Jingyang said lightly.
Yang Haozhuo said with a smile: "How can there be any reason to take back what you have given away? To be honest, I have to say that your wood carving skills are becoming more and more exquisite. Yingzhe, take a look, isn't it?"
Yang Haozhuo took out a lifelike rabbit from his sleeve pocket and placed it in his hand for Ning Yu to look at.
Yang Haozhuo has a eldest son, Shi Jingyang, who is one year old and born in the year of Rabbit.
Ning Yu reached out and took the rabbit from Yang Haozhuo's hand, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "It's getting more and more exquisite. Why did Qing'an carve this for you?"
Shi Jingyang looked at the rabbit in Ning Yu's hand, how could it not be exquisite? In his last life, during those years in the military camp, all his free time was spent on wood carving.
Yang Haozhuo told Ning Yu about the winnings in the pot throwing game at Fengle Tower two days ago.
Ning He looked at the rabbit in Ning Yu's hand and felt a little disappointed.
She thought that Shi Jingyang would give the wood carving to her privately because she expressed it frankly enough that night...
Yang Xinye stared at the rabbit in Ning Yu's hand and couldn't move his eyes away, and asked: "Fourth brother, second brother Ning, can you show it to me?"
Yang Haozhuo took the rabbit from Ning Yu and handed it to Yang Xinye, "Let me show it to you. Remember to return it to me later."
"I know, how stingy!" Yang Xinye took the rabbit and pouted at Yang Haozhuo.
"You girl, you have a bad temper, please bring the rabbit back." Yang Haozhuo made a gesture to take the rabbit back.
Yang Xinye retracted her hand and avoided Yang Haozhuo's hand, "I haven't looked at it yet. I'll return it to you when I've seen enough."
Yang Haozhuo was just pretending, not really wanting to get the rabbit back. He raised his hand towards Yang Xinye in an intimidating gesture, and then turned to talk to Ning Yu.
Yang Xinye stuck out her tongue at Yang Haoran and ignored him. She turned around and stretched the rabbit out in front of Ning He, "Sister He, look, it's so cute. The prince's craftsmanship is truly well-deserved. The little rabbit is so lifelike.
"
Ning He came over with a smile, reached out and touched the little rabbit, "It's very lifelike."
"Sir, Fourth Master Jiang and Miss Jiang are here." Liu Jin came in and reported.
"The palm beads are here too, that's great." Yang Haozhuo stood up and went out to greet him.
Jiang Xingyu stepped into Yuejing Pavilion and saw Ning He sitting with Yang Xinye, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Yang Haozhuo sent someone to invite the fourth brother. She had nothing to do and came with the fourth brother to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, she met Ning He here. If she had known that this person was here, she would not have come.
Jiang Xingyu has always disliked Ning He. In the past, her attitude towards Ning He was that if you don't offend me, I won't offend you, everyone will be fine.
Ever since Ning He stepped on Ning Wei at her banquet, causing Ning Wei and Wu Mingyi to break up on bad terms, Jiang Xingyu had hated Ning He.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed.
Jiang Xingyu turned to look at Yang Haozhuo, "Brother Yang, do you dislike me very much?"
Yang Haozhuo was dumbfounded when asked, "What are you talking about, Zhangzhu? How can fourth brother dislike you?"
Jiang Xingyu raised his chin, glanced at Ning He contemptuously, and said, "You still say you don't dislike it?
Fourth brother Yang invited Miss Ning to a banquet, but he didn't even invite me.
If I hadn't clung to Fourth Brother shamelessly and begged him to bring me here, how would I have known that Fourth Brother Yang's place would be full of guests today."
Jiang Xingyu put the accent on the crowd of guests, and everyone present could hear that she was mocking.
Jiang Xingyu's words made Yang Haozhuo neither advance nor retreat.
Yang Xinye's face changed instantly. What did Jiang Xing mean? She clearly knew that Ning He was on good terms with her.
Yang Xinye usually disliked the doting Jiang Xingyu the most, who looked so condescending.
In particular, Jiang Xingchang indulged Jiang Xingyu to no end, which made Yang Xinye feel very unhappy.
She had long wanted to quarrel with Jiang Xingyu.
Yang Xinye stood up, looked at Jiang Xingyu and said with a half-smile: "They say that those who play with palm beads are very clever. It's true that they have good vision. Our house is really full of guests today."
After Yang Xinye finished speaking, Yang Haozhuo's face turned green, and he secretly cursed Yang Xinye in his heart for causing trouble and going to Jiang Xingyu instead of messing with anyone.
Sure enough, Jiang Xingyu looked around and said, "Sorry for disturbing you. Fourth brother, let's go back."
Jiang Xingyu turned to Jiang Xingchang behind him.
Before Jiang Xingchang could speak, Yang Haozhuo hurriedly stopped Jiang Xingyu and begged: "Oh, Zhangzhu, good girl, please give fourth brother a chance to apologize, okay? Fourth brother knows that you are wrong. Fourth brother thinks you are busy today.
Si Xing, please help me persuade Zhang Zhu."
Jiang Xingchang glanced at Yang Xinye and said expressionlessly: "What are you trying to persuade? No need to persuade. Zhangzhu wants to go back, so I'll just go back with her. Qing'an, Yingzhe, go back first. Let's meet another day."
After speaking, Jiang Xingchang took Jiang Xingyu's arm and walked out past Yang Haozhuo.
When Yang Xinye met Jiang Xingchang's eyes, she couldn't help but trembled, and then lowered her head.
It seemed like she was too impulsive just now. She made a big mistake today and annoyed him.
Shi Jingyang stood up and said, "If you want the palm beads back, I will also give them to her. Yingzhe, let's give the palm beads together."
Ning Yu put down the cup in his hand and said, "Okay, let's go together!"
"You..." Yang Haozhuo looked at Jiang Xingchang and then at Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang said, "If you want to give me palm beads, you can come too." After saying that, he followed Jiang Xingchang and Jiang Xingyu out.
Yang Haozhuo looked at Yang Xinye and Ning He who were stunned, sighed slightly, and said to Yang Xinye: "If you don't change your temper, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."
Yang Xinye said stubbornly: "She was the one who started the trouble today, why can't I say a word?"
Yang Haozhuo sighed again, pointed at Yang Xinye, and said: "If you have no desires or demands, you can say whatever you want. If you have the slightest idea in your heart, you have to control your mouth and know what to say.
Say what you shouldn’t say.”
After saying that, Yang Haozhuo turned around and chased him out.
Yang Xinye looked at the people leaving and stood there blankly.
Ning He said: "Xin Ye, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble."
Yang Xinye came back to her senses, turned to look at Ning He, shook her head and said: "Nothing, what happened today is not your fault, you don't have to apologize.
Isn't Ning Yu your second brother? Why doesn't he stand up and say a word for you? Thank you for treating him so well. "
Ning He smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang Xingyu is a lady from Shangshu Mansion, how could he offend someone for me?"
Yang Xinye snorted coldly and said: "Things that follow the trend of others."
Ning He squeezed Yang Xinye's hand and said, "Okay, don't mention these unhappy things, how about we go out for a walk?"
Yang Xinye nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go!"
The two walked to the plank road and met Shi Jingyang's young man Qingshan.
Qingshan leaned towards Ning He and handed her a small box, "Miss Ning Er, our Crown Prince asked me to give this to you."
Ning He reached out and took the box. After opening it, he saw a soft and cute lamb inside.
The wood carvings were very delicate, but Ning He suddenly felt that he was not interested in what he wanted, and there was no joy at all.
Yang Xinye saw Ning He frozen on the spot and called out softly: "Sister He, what's wrong with you?"
Ning He closed the box, raised his head and smiled at her, "Nothing."
After saying that, Ning He said to Qingshan: "I have received the things. Please tell me, thank you."
Qingshan bowed and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."
On the other side, Yang Haozhuo chased out and stopped Jiang Xingyu and Jiang Xingchang.
"Zhangzhu, please listen to the fourth brother. Today, Yingzhe and Qing'an came over to visit my father. The fourth brother thought that we haven't been together for a long time, so he left them behind and sent someone to inform Sixing and Hongguang.
The fourth brother didn’t know beforehand that Miss Ning Er came to the house. Zhangzhu, good girl, don’t be angry, okay?”
"Zhangzhu, fourth uncle, where are you going?" Yang Qinghan and Yang Qingzhao came together. Seeing their fourth uncle holding the palm bead to plead for mercy, he hurried forward to ask.
When Yang Haozhuo saw his two nieces coming, he asked for help as if he saw a savior: "Sister Han, Sister Zhao, you two came just in time. Please help me quickly and beg for the palm beads so that she will not be angry with my fourth uncle again."
Yang Qinghan stepped forward and took Jiang Xingyu's hand, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Xingyu and said, "Zhangzhu is not angry anymore. If Fourth Uncle makes you angry, just let Fourth Uncle Jiang, Shizi, and Second Uncle Ning beat him up.
Why should you make yourself feel wronged? It’s not worth it to make yourself so angry?”
Yang Haozhuo listened to his eldest niece and looked over with cold eyes, "Sister Han, you are my niece."
Yang Qinghan looked up at Yang Haozhuo, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Your fourth uncle still doesn't accept it?"
Yang Haozhuo looked at Jiang Xingyu, who had a straight face and said nothing, and immediately became scared, and quickly said: "What about that? I'm convinced! Beat him, Zhangzhu, and see how you can beat him to relieve your anger."
Jiang Xingyu was not someone who expressed anger, she just didn't want to look good on Ning He. After she left the house, she was no longer angry.
Yang Qingzhao saw Jiang Xingyu's expression softening and said with a smile: "Zhangzhu, for the sake of my fourth uncle's good attitude in admitting his mistakes, let's spare him this time. How about it?"
Jiang Xingyu got off the donkey along the slope, straightened his body proudly, raised his chin and said, "Then for the sake of Sister Han and Sister Zhao, I won't argue with you."
Yang Haozhuo immediately raised his smile and said in a nonchalant manner: "How about we go to Fourth Brother's Songtao Pavilion, and Fourth Brother will prepare a table for us. We won't go back until we get drunk, how about that?"
Jiang Xingyu turned to look at Jiang Xingchang, "Brother, is that okay?"
Jiang Xingchang raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Xingyu's head, and said with doting eyes: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Yang Haozhuo immediately ordered: "Sister Han, Sister Zhao, take the palm beads to Songtao Pavilion."
The group of people went to Songtao Pavilion with cheers. Jiang Xingyu turned to look at Ning Yu and asked: "Brother Ning, where is Ah Wei?"
Ning Yu replied: "In the house."
Seeing that Ning Yu didn't say much, Jiang Xingyu didn't ask much, thinking of going over to the mansion to find Ning Wei another day.
Ning Mansion, Ning Wei returned to Fangfeiyuan and saw Zaohua directing her mother-in-law and maid to clean the yard. Then she remembered that she had bought someone back today.
When Zaohua saw Ning Wei coming back, she greeted her with a smile, "Miss is back!"
When the maids and wives saw Ning Wei, they all stopped what they were doing and bent their knees to salute her.
Ning Wei looked at the four of them and nodded towards them, "Go on and do your thing."
The maid bowed her knees and continued her work.
Ning Wei returned to the house and saw Hu Rui standing by the window, looking out through the small hole in the window.
Hu Rui saw her coming in and turned around to greet her.
Ning Wei smiled, turned around and entered the bathroom.
Pour mulberry leaves with water and help Ning Wei wash and change clothes.
Ning Wei changed into her home clothes and went back outside, where she saw Hu Rui still standing by the window looking out.
So he walked over, stood next to Hu Rui and asked, "How are you? Are you doing things quickly?"
Hu Rui replied: "I don't even ask questions when doing things. I feel that the fat woman's eyes are always darting around."
"Are your eyes wandering? Let me take a look." As she said that, Ning Wei put her finger in her mouth and dipped it in. Then she put the saliva-stained finger on the window paper and dug hard, and a hole was immediately made in the window paper.
This method was taught to her by Hu Rui in her previous life.
Ning Wei leaned forward and looked out through the small hole.
"Sir, are you talking about the short and fat woman?" Ning Wei asked while looking at it.
Hu Rui nodded, "Yes."
Ning Wei watched for a while. The woman kept her head bent on her work and didn't look around.
Ning Wei said to Sang Ye: "Sang Ye, go and call Zao Hua in."
Sang Ye got the order and turned around to go out.
When Zaohua came in and saw Hu Rui and Ning Wei standing by the window looking out, she immediately became alert and asked in a low voice: "Miss, are there any problems with these people?"
Ning Wei stared at the yard and replied without raising her head: "I don't know yet. The husband said that the fat woman's eyes are wandering. Don't go out yet."
Zaohua bent her knees and said, "Okay, I understand."
Ning Wei and Hu Rui watched for a while and saw that the four people in the yard were doing their own work, and there was no difference.
Ning Wei was dazzled by what she saw. She took a step back, rubbed her eyes and said, "No, my eyes can't stand it after looking at it for too long."
Ning Wei walked to the table and sat down, and said to Hu Rui: "Sir, stop looking. Come and sit."
Hu Rui nodded, left the window, walked to the table and sat down.
Zaohua poured tea for the two of them and asked in a panic: "Miss, can these people use it?"
Ning Wei took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said slowly and quietly: "Why don't you use it if you bought it with money?"
Zaohua said worriedly: "How to use it?"
Ning Wei thought for a while and said: "Place the people in the back room and leave the rough work in the yard to them.
Who will do what will be decided by Zaohua.
Remember, they are not allowed to enter my living room, study and kitchen. Our food and food, including the water we drink, are not allowed to pass through their hands, do you understand?"
Hu Rui said with a smile: "It's not like we bought someone to use, but it's like we bought a few thunders."
