It was unprecedented for me to serve tea to Mrs. Fang with my own hands, but the little girl's bulging cheeks showed that she was actually the same as before.
"The lady has just fallen asleep. She will be here soon."
Old Mrs. Fang ignored the little girl's unhappiness.
She went to bed right after she came back? Was she hiding because she knew she was in trouble or was she sulking? She was not the kind of person who would sleep when tired after going out.
The wooden stakes I usually use these days have been driven a little loose.
Just as he was thinking about the sound of footsteps, Miss Jun, wearing only a small blue coat and skirt with her hair tied loosely, walked out.
Did he really stop?
"It's nothing, grandma, don't worry." Miss Jun said, "It's just a quarrel between the girls, and it will be over after that."
She described herself as a little tired, but her voice was still soft.
Old Mrs. Fang suddenly felt that she was a child, while Miss Jun was an adult running around taking care of the house. She was very tired and had to comfort the rough children.
This is all a mess.
Old Mrs. Fang put the tea cup down on the table.
To put it bluntly, they don't know exactly what this girl has in mind.
"How can you say that Jin Yiwei's incident is a trivial matter? If you piss off those people, they don't care whether you are a loyal queen or not." She said calmly.
"They won't be upset. This is...a happy event." Miss Jun said, picking up the teacup on the table. "Happy events should be happy. I am happy, so why would they be upset?"
happy event.
Mrs. Fang was silent for a moment.
"When encountering situations like this in the future, don't approach them without hesitation. There's no need to please those people. Those people are just a bunch of wolves, ruthless and disloyal. If you try to please them, they can kill you.
” she said.
Miss Jun hummed, answering her question.
"Lu Qianhu is really lucky to have a princess again." Mrs. Fang murmured, "But who is this princess..."
"Grandma, don't worry about the quarrel between me and the ladies of the Ning family, and don't pay attention to it." Miss Jun suddenly interrupted her and said.
Even at home, it's hard to talk about Jin Yiwei's affairs.
Old Mrs. Fang also sighed and lost her composure for a moment, and immediately stopped talking. Thinking of the servant girl's description of Miss Jun scolding Mr. Ning Shi, she suddenly had a headache again.
"Then you can't say that to others," she said.
"Then why can they say that about me?" Miss Jun said.
Her voice was soft and her expression was gentle, but her words were very strong.
It's the same as before, what I say can make people half-dead mad. Originally, I wanted to be the young lady of the Ning family and make friends with those officials' ladies, so I naturally talk to please them. But now I have stopped thinking about it, so I naturally vent my anger.
Mrs. Fang smiled.
"But they really can, but you can't." She said, "I know you are not convinced, but the world is so unfair."
"No, this world is very fair." Miss Jun said seriously, "So they can't say that about me."
It's impossible to reason with a stubborn child.
Old Mrs. Fang frowned.
"You scolded Mr. Ning Shi like that and made him a joke. The Ning family will not give up." She said, "If you don't want to go, forget it. I will ask your aunt to go to the Ning family to apologize."
"Grandma, this is just a quarrel between girls. You adults, don't get involved." Miss Jun said.
Mrs. Fang's eyebrows twitched.
"You also threatened Miss Ning to come to your door and ask you to apologize. Do you think they won't dare? When the time comes to hand over the Ning family's post, it will still be a childish thing." She said angrily.
Miss Jun smiled.
"Then it's really not a matter of children being grudged," she said.
Old Mrs. Fang snorted in her heart.
It's just a matter of quarreling with Ning Yunyan. Young Master Ning Shi is the face of the Ning family. How could the Ning family give up after beating the Ning family's face?
It seemed that she knew how serious what she had done was. Mrs. Fang opened her mouth to speak, but the smile on Miss Jun's face disappeared.
"They don't dare." She said first.
What Mrs. Fang wanted to say stuck in her mouth.
"Why don't they dare?" she asked, holding back her temper.
"They don't dare to do it even after thinking about it," said Miss Jun.
Old Mrs. Fang felt that her voice was also holding back her temper, just like she was holding back her noisy and ignorant children.
Why is this girl so annoying?
"Why don't we dare to think about it? We wouldn't dare to think about it..." She couldn't hold back her temper anymore and stood up and said. She seemed to think of something in the middle of her words and froze suddenly.
Miss Jun said nothing and put the tea cup in her hand, which she had never picked up, back on the table.
"That lady, did you trip and fall?"
Liu'er curled her lips when she heard Mrs. Fang's sudden and unclear question.
He was talking here and there, forgetting that he couldn't find the young lady. The young lady who tripped was not her precious granddaughter, so what kind of injustice did she have to do to hold her in her arms?
"Everything is said by people. They say it's me and I say it's not me. What's the point of the quarrels?"
Liu'er grinned when she heard Miss Jun say.
Well, they said it was our young lady who tripped and fell. Who saw it? Where is the evidence? If you don’t catch him at the time and just frame him afterwards, how can it be so cheap?
Liu'er raised her head and looked at Miss Jun with beaming eyebrows.
Miss Jun did not smile.
"I hope they dare," she said.
Her voice was still soft, but Liu'er felt that it was a little different from before, as if she was in a bad mood.
I must be in a bad mood. I'm so tired from going out, my rest is interrupted, and I have to listen to this old lady's nagging.
Liu'er pouted and stared at Old Mrs. Fang.
Old Mrs. Fang stood motionless, with a complicated look on her face, but did not speak again.
Everyone in the Fang family was busy preparing for the young master's marriage. They didn't pay much attention to Miss Jun coming back after going out. Even if they heard Miss Jun quarreling with someone outside, it was not a rare thing and they wouldn't talk about it in private. But at this time,
Outside, it spread like the wind.
As the New Year is approaching, the already prosperous Yangcheng becomes more lively. The city gate is always crowded regardless of morning and evening. Some straw huts also appear outside the city gate, and the aroma of hot steam from cooking tea and cooking fills the air.
At this time, there were many people sitting under a thatched hut. The old couple running the business were busy serving plates of barbecued meat and tea soup without touching the floor.
Sitting at the innermost table were two dusty young men. Seeing the food being served, one of them opened his hood slightly to reveal his smooth chin, picked up the bowl and took a big sip, although he couldn't see the description.
, you can also feel his body stretching.
"The taste at home is more comfortable." He said in a clear voice.
The young man sitting opposite took off his hat. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and with the vigor of a young man, he looked more and more dignified.
"Brother Ten, you dare not take off your hat when you get home, you are really out of sight." He joked with a low smile, while looking around, "Don't worry, there are all rough men here, even if they see your
If you look like this, you won’t swarm around and throw flowers and fruits.”
The young man wearing a hood and drinking tea smiled.
"Eat your food," he said.
The young man who was joking stopped joking and actually picked up a piece of meat bone with his chopsticks and gnawed it boldly.
The hooded young man put down the tea soup and looked at the city gate not far away. The queue there was still bustling, but there was no noise.
"In the past, you didn't need to check like this when entering the city," he said.
The shopkeeper who was walking by heard what he said and hurriedly responded.
"Yes, I didn't use it before, but this is the order of Duke Cheng." He said.
"Mr. Cheng Guo?" The young man's voice was a little surprised. He raised his head slightly and looked at the store owner with a half-smile, "When was Mr. Cheng Guo transferred to Shanxi Road?"
The store owner didn't understand the sarcasm in his words.
"No, no." He replied with a smile, "It was Cheng Guogong who said that the Jin people were restless and the New Year was approaching. Now the Northland is under martial law. He also told us that those places close to the Northland should be alert and cautious to avoid being caught.
The spies infiltrated the city, so the superiors allowed them to check in and out of the city gate."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked away, while the young man held his chopsticks thoughtfully.
"Even so, Duke Cheng's hand was stretched too far, and these people actually listened to him," he said.
The young man opposite who had oily hands gnawing bones cheered.
"He's just a general. He can't make any big waves, so don't worry about it." He said nonchalantly, pushing the plate in front of him, "Brother Ten, eat meat, eat meat."
Speaking of which, he smacked his mouth again.
"It's a pity that there is no wine." He said regretfully.
"Uncle and aunt have told us not to drink alcohol on the way." The young man, who was called Tenth Brother, said calmly, "Drinking is not a good thing. If something like Zhu Zan happens, my uncle will not protect it like Duke Cheng.
you."
The young man frowned when he was told.
"I'm talking about Brother Ten. I call you Brother. Don't really think that you are Brother. You are only three days older than me." He stretched out his three hands and waved, "Don't pretend to be mature."
Brother Ten reached out and pulled his hand down.
"Three days are also days," he said with a smile.
The young man shook his head helplessly.
"But this kid Zhu Zan is quite arrogant. So many people saw that it was clear that he was drunk and causing trouble and pushed someone's car down, and he dared to brazenly say that the military intelligence report was an unintentional collision." He chuckled again, "This is what he said with his eyes open.
His ability to tell lies is also admirable."
"It's just being domineering." Brother Ten said, took a sip of the tea soup, and was about to say something else when a burst of laughter suddenly sounded next to him.
"….You really said that about Mr. Ning Shi?"
At the same time, as these words came out, the two young men paused for a moment, and subconsciously turned their heads to look over, seeing a few pick workers joking.
"Although you are not here, your legend is still everywhere in Yangcheng." The young man turned his head and winked at him and laughed softly, "Why don't you take off your hood and let everyone see your fairy face."
The young man who was still wearing a hood ignored him and calmly picked up a bone and started chewing on it.
The young man opposite clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"It's indecent," he said, while he picked up the tea soup and just took a sip when he heard another voice coming from the other side.
"... Young Master Ning Shi's worth is definitely higher than the red card in the brothel. Five thousand taels is still a bit low..."
The young man spit out a mouthful of tea soup and choked and coughed repeatedly.
The young man opposite also had his sleeves sprayed, but he didn't pay attention and turned his head to look at the joker over there.
With a slight crunch, he chewed a piece of cartilage.
