When a son returns home, he will be suitable for his wife and family, and when a daughter is suitable for someone else, she will be married off.
"A man takes a woman as his wife, and a woman takes her man as her home. When a woman grows up and gets married, she has a family." Mrs. Ning said with a sigh, reaching out to caress the shoulder of Ning Yunyan next to her, "Speaking of which
It’s really sad that after raising her so big, she was not raised by her family but by someone else. If Miss Jun’s mother was still alive, she would definitely be happy and sad at the same time.”
Ning Yunyan called out to her mother and pulled down Mrs. Ning's hand.
"You can't bear it. You can't bear to marry her as your daughter." She said with a snort.
Mrs. Ning gave her an angry look.
"This woman will be at peace once she has a home." She said, "I can also feel at ease."
Ning Yunyan curled her lips.
"What's wrong with An Sheng? Being a widow makes you even more unscrupulous. When a widow makes a fuss and wants to come into our home, we will be even more embarrassed." She murmured.
Mrs. Ning patted the table.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Which widow can enter our house?" She lowered her face and said, "Your brother told you not to mention that person named Jun again."
Ning Yunyan pouted and stopped talking.
Mrs. Ning continued to read the almanac, while Ning Yunyan couldn't sit still and squirmed around.
"Mom, then Jun Zhenzhen is married, can I go out?" she asked, rolling her eyes.
"Why are you going out? Haven't you seen all the relatives and sisters coming home during the Chinese New Year?" Mrs. Ning said without raising her eyes.
"Mother." Ning Yunyan pulled Mrs. Ning's sleeve and shook her, "I haven't left the house for two months."
"Are you in a hurry to go out?" Mrs. Ning said with a smile, "What about marrying someone off?"
Ning Yunyan was ashamed and annoyed, so she threw herself into Mrs. Ning's arms. Mrs. Ning hugged her with a smile. The girls standing outside looked at the happy scene of mother and daughter and pursed their lips and smiled.
"Okay, I know you have been wronged." Mrs. Ning stretched out her hand to straighten Ning Yunyan's hair, "It's just that you are a clean daughter, so you don't have to be harmed by her."
Ning Yunyan hummed, but her eyes flickered and she obviously didn't listen.
Mrs. Ning naturally understood and smiled and stroked her shoulder.
"I said, she is no longer a girl, she is Fang Junshi." She said, but there was no smile in her eyes, "She is no longer alone, she belongs to the Fang family, she was born with the same family.
If she dies, she will be bullied in the future, and no one will accuse her of bullying an orphan girl."
The Fang family is such a big family and they are engaged in business. It is inevitable that something will happen, so you won't have to go around shouting and being bullied.
Ning Yunyan understood and smiled happily.
"Mom, can I go out now?" she said, "If I don't go to the city, I will stay in Beiliu."
Mrs. Ning avoided answering.
"Your uncle has gone back, and your aunt and the others are leaving in the next two days." She said, "Remember to go over there and stay with her more often."
Ning Yunyan knew this was her mother's acquiescence and responded happily.
"Hey, what about my brother? Is he also going with his aunt and cousin?" she asked.
Speaking of Ning Yunzhao, Mrs. Ning frowned slightly.
"Your brother hasn't said whether he can leave or not," she said.
"Okay, okay, my brother has been away from home for a long time. Let's stay longer this time." Ning Yunyan was very happy.
"Why stay? You will end up next year. This is the time when studies are critical." Mrs. Ning scolded, "You just know how to play. Don't pester your brother and affect his studies."
"Mom, I didn't pester my brother to play, but he was playing." Ning Yunyan curled her lips and said.
"What are you playing for?" Mrs. Ning asked casually, not taking it seriously.
"Lantern." Ning Yunyan said, "Mom, my brother placed a lantern in front of the desk."
"There are two hanging in front of your bed." Mrs. Ning said with a smile, too lazy to listen to her jokes anymore, "I'm going to recite sutras, so you can go and play with your sisters."
Ning Yunyan was kicked out of her mother's home.
"Brother is just playing with lanterns." She said to the girl next to her. "That kind of lantern is just like the one used in the Lantern Festival. It is not a valuable antique and cannot be used as a light for reading, but my brother puts it on the desk..."
When she said this, she seemed to think of something.
"No way..." she said to herself.
"What don't you know, young lady?" the girl in charge asked hurriedly.
Ning Yunyan clenched her handkerchief.
"Go to my brother's place," she said.
Aren't you going to play with the ladies at home? The girl watched Ning Yunyan trotting away and hurriedly chased after her.
Ning Yunzhao's study is located in the small courtyard where he lives. Although he spends most of the year in the capital, the place is neatly kept.
When Ning Yunyan ran in, a boy was squatting by the small pool in the yard, washing pens.
"Miss... the young master is busy..." he said hurriedly.
Before he finished speaking, Ning Yunyan had already ran past him and entered the house.
The room was filled with warmth, and Ning Yunzhao, wearing a homely white robe and a black belt, was standing motionless in front of the bookshelf.
Hanging on the bookshelf is a piece of paper with a chessboard drawn on it, with black and white pieces on it.
This painting has been hanging here since the Lantern Festival. Is there anything interesting about it? Why does Ning Yunzhao always stand in front of this painting in trance every time he comes?
"Brother, what on earth is this?" Ning Yunyan asked curiously.
Ning Yunzhao was shocked by her and came back to his senses.
"Nothing." He said, but felt that his answer was too perfunctory. "It's an ancient chess game. I'll try to solve it."
Ning Yunyan dislikes these music, chess, calligraphy and painting the most. She learned them all due to helplessness, and she can’t understand why people like her brother like them so much.
"Brother will definitely be able to untie it," she said with a smile.
Ning Yunzhao smiled and said nothing.
Fortunately, he tried his best. The girl must be struggling with this chess game. I wonder if she has solved it.
Thinking of that **** leaving with red eyes and feeling aggrieved, I wonder if my mood has improved these days.
But this chess game is really difficult to solve. He still has no clue. Although the girl is better at chess than him, she must also be stumped.
Wouldn't that make you even more angry?
Such a difficult chess game was solved by others, even a beggar.
But considering her sharp chess playing style, she shouldn't be so petty.
"elder brother!"
The girl's complaining voice rang in her ears.
Ning Yunzhao looked at his complaining sister and smiled.
"Brother, did you hear what I said?" Ning Yunyan said dissatisfied.
"I don't. I think this chess game is a bit fascinating." Ning Yunzhao said seriously and pointed.
He admitted so frankly that Ning Yunyan had nothing to say. She rolled her eyes and stood in front of the desk.
A hydrangea lamp is placed next to Beacon Hill.
"Brother, give me this lamp." She said suddenly and reached out to pick it up. "It will look good together with the ones in my house."
"This won't work." Ning Yunzhao replied immediately.
Ning Yunyan flattened her mouth and looked at him with an aggrieved expression.
"A gentleman never takes what others like." Ning Yunzhao smiled and waved to his sister.
"Brother, is this lamp so good? Let me use it first and then return it to you." Ning Yunyan said with a smile again.
"If you like it, I'll buy you another one." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile, "Sister, I'm not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably. What do you want from me?"
Sometimes this brother is very talkative, and sometimes he is arrogant.
Ning Yunyan knew that she couldn't take away the lanterns, and she couldn't say that she was here for the lanterns. Fortunately, Ning Yunzhao asked.
"Oh, mother asked you when are you leaving? With aunt?" she said smoothly and put down the hydrangea lamp in her hand.
"I was about to talk to my mother about this." Ning Yunzhao said, "I will leave in a few days and I will go and talk to my mother."
As he spoke, he took his cloak and was about to go out. Ning Yunyan could not stay any longer and followed him out. Seeing Ning Yunzhao entering Mrs. Ning's courtyard, Ning Yunyan stopped and her expression changed.
"It's weird," she said.
"What's weird about Miss?" the girl in charge asked hurriedly.
Ning Yunyan looked at Mrs. Ning's courtyard door.
"My brother is weird, and it must be because of a woman." She said.
Don't say this nonsense. The girl next to you was startled.
"Miss, how do you know?" She lowered her voice, "The tenth young master has not been in contact with any women since he came back. There are many young ladies who want to meet the young master's relatives and friends, but the young master has avoided them all, even at the lantern festival.
During the festival, I was always with the other gentlemen. I have asked, but they have not seen the girls, so please don't talk nonsense."
Ning Yunyan wrung her handkerchief.
"I'm not talking nonsense," she said, "This is intuition, a woman's intuition."
