Chapter 28 Marriage
"Third sister, what's so bad about being the wife of an official? How many people are looking forward to it but can't get it." Seeing Ning Erlan's resistance, Ning Desheng said anxiously.

The pain of his flesh being scraped during the last treatment is still deeply in his mind, which has become a serious shadow in his heart.So every time I see Ning Erlan, I can't wait to step forward and skin her!
"De'er, don't mess around. Marriage matters are decided by the elders, how can you decide?" The old lady seemed to be scolding Ning Desheng, but she was actually talking about Ning Erlan.

Ning Erlan picked up the pastry in her hand, put it in her mouth gracefully, and began to chew it slowly.It was as if she didn't understand the meaning of the old lady's words at all.

The old lady knew that some things needed to be discussed in the long run, so she let them go back separately.

For three days in a row, Ning Erlan couldn't sleep.She's thinking about coping strategies.Although the old lady didn't speak directly these days, she has been testing her words both openly and secretly.It seemed that she was trying her best to facilitate her marriage with Mo Heng.

Not to mention that Mo Heng is old enough to be her father, how could she marry herself so casually?
"Xinyue, did you find what I asked you to find?"

Xinyue opened the curtain, and walked in with a stack of old books in her hands.

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all the porter said."

Ning Erlan turned over the yellowed pages of the book. These are the records of the Ning family's business losses in the past five years.These account books will be put together in a small study. When Wen Shi married, the old lady gave her a key to let her learn to read the account books, and the key has not been taken back so far.

So she asked Wen to get the key and asked Xinyue to find these account books.

Just halfway through the turn, a little maid wearing the clothes of a sweeping maid walked into the yard.

"My maidservant begs to see Miss San."

Xinyue heard the sound and walked out.Seeing that it was someone he knew well, he returned to Ning Erlan and brought him in.

"What's the matter?"

"Miss San, I saw a matchmaker coming to the house today. It seems that she came to match Miss San." The maid came to Ning Erlan and said in a low voice.

"Xi'er, did you really see it?" This Xi'er is only twelve or thirteen years old this year. Because she is not a child of the family, she has been bullied by many people all the time. Xinyue has helped her many times, so her heart I am very grateful to Xinyue, she is trustworthy.

"Xi'er dare not talk nonsense."

"Xi'er has worked hard for you, you go down first, just report if you have anything to do." Ning Erlan winked at Xinyue, Xinyue stepped forward knowingly and walked outside holding Xi'er's hand.

Not long after, Xinyue walked in, her face was a little gloomy.

"Miss, Xi'er said, I heard from many maids that the matchmaker was invited by Mrs. Mo." Coming to Ning Erlan's side, Xinyue said in a low voice.

"Really?"

"Greetings to the third lady. The maidservant is serving Xi Lan in front of the old lady. The old lady asked the maidservant to invite the third lady to the Cixuanyuan." A voice came from outside the door.

"Come over as soon as I finish dressing up." Ning Erlan replied softly with a cold light flashing across her eyes.

Xinyue changed her into a skirt embroidered with flying butterflies, and a green bamboo-bottomed double-breasted gown on her upper body.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, Xi Lan took a quick look at her and led the way after she felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Old madam, you don't know, but Mrs. Mo can marry anyone who wants to marry? I don't know how many girls in Shancheng city want to be the official wife."

With a smile on her face, the old lady was obviously very satisfied with the best grandson-in-law that the matchmaker said.

"Master Mo is able to take a fancy to our daughter of the Ning family, it is indeed our blessing."

Sitting under the old lady, Wen Shi, who was invited early, wanted to say something, but was always interrupted by the matchmaker's endless words.An anxious look appeared on his face.

The old lady glanced at Wen Shi, quite dissatisfied.The reason why she called her here today is not because she is Ning Erlan's own mother.How dare you come here to show me face!
"Lan'er to grandma, please greet mother." As soon as Ning Erlan walked to the gate, she heard the matchmaker's chattering words. If she hadn't met Mo Heng himself, she would have thought that he was a man with no character or appearance. Can't be picky anymore.

"Hehehe, Lan'er, you are here, come quickly to grandma." The old lady waved Ning Erlan to her side with a smile on her face.

Wen's mouth opened to say something, but Ning Erlan gave her a calm look.

"Grandmother, but what good thing can make you so happy?"

After Ning Erlan walked in, the matchmaker looked at her unobtrusively.Her looks are pretty good, so it's no wonder Mrs. Mo can like her, but if she wants to be an official wife, I don't know if her life is hard enough.

"Hey, this third young lady is really handsome, she's just pleasing to look at."

"Who is this?"

"Hehe, this is Wang Matchmaker from Nancheng."

"Matchmaker Wang? But did you come to say hello to your sister? It should be, the two sisters are both of that age." Ning Erlan said innocently, blinking.

The smiles on the faces of the old lady and Wang Matchmaker froze.Ning Erlan did have two elder sisters of the right age, and this elder sister came to matchmaking for the youngest before her marriage was arranged, which was unreasonable.

The old lady looked at Ning Erlan with the same expression and thought she just didn't know. "You silly girl, your two elder sisters and grandmothers also arranged for them. Today, Matchmaker Wang is here to match you."

As usual, when the younger daughter's family hears about their marriage, they will be shy and dare not say a word, and let the elders arrange everything.

The old lady asked Ning Erlan to come here today because she wanted the matchmaker to have a look, so that she could say something nice to Mo Heng when she returned.

But Ning Erlan's expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of shyness in her eyes.

"Tell me a matchmaker? I don't know which matchmaker Wang Matchmaker told me about?"

Ning Erlan's question made Matchmaker Wang stunned for a while, she thought to herself that this young lady is too bold, she dares to say these words so many times, she is not ashamed.

"It's the best thing to say to the third lady, and that's Mr. Mo who is the most popular in Shancheng." After speaking, Wang Matchmaker started to boast again, but was interrupted by Ning Erlan before she could open her mouth.

"Does Matchmaker Wang know that Er Lan just divorced her marriage not long ago?"

Ning Erlan's words made the old lady's face darken in an instant. She only found out about this matter after she came back, because Ning Guoan also agreed to this matter, so she couldn't say anything more.

She had been deliberately avoiding this topic when Matchmaker Wang came here today, but Ning Erlan brought it up on her own initiative!

"Miss San, this matter is over, why mention it?" The smile on Wang Matchmaker's face has become a bit forced.

At this point, the whole atmosphere was embarrassed by Ning Erlan's few words. The old lady was so angry that she lost her mood. She simply said a few words to Wang Matchmaker, and Wang Matchmaker left.

With a "bang", the old lady slammed heavily on the small table.

"You bastard, look what nonsense you've said." The old lady looked at Ning Erlan with eyes full of anger.

Ning Erlan, who lowered her head slightly, had a cold light in her eyes.

Wen looked worriedly at the angry old lady, stood up and knelt down in front of her.

"Old madam, Er Lan is still young, don't blame her, she just slipped her tongue unintentionally. Besides, the outside world says Mrs. Mo is born to suppress his wife, how can you have the heart to send her there to take risks?" I would rather my two children marry into an ordinary family and live a peaceful life. In fact, all the glory and wealth are just passing by.

Ning Erlan looked at the worried and distressed Wen, and felt even warmer in her heart.She also knelt down in front of the old lady, her eyes were red, and she said in a choked voice: "Grandmother doesn't know something, Er Lan has long been wary of that official family, Mr. Mo will naturally be promoted, when the time comes..."

How could the old lady not know what Ning Erlan said?

The reason why Jiang Jing wanted to resign was because he felt that the daughter of the Ning family was not good enough for him.Now Mo Heng is begging to marry Ning Erlan, and when Mo Heng is promoted in the future and wants to marry the lady in Beijing, what will happen to the Ning family?
The old lady was worried about the future development of the Ning family, and she didn't care whether Ning Erlan would be divorced or demoted.

"Hey, that's all, let me think about it." Whether to rely on a big tree or to find a family equivalent...

"Yes, Lan'er is leaving."

"My daughter-in-law is leaving."

Walking out of the yard, Ning Erlan wiped away the tears on Wen's face. "Mother, don't cry, my daughter's lifelong event will definitely not let them go through it so hastily."

As soon as the two of them passed a corner, they saw Ning Desheng walking towards the old lady's yard with a serious smile on his face.

Ning Desheng must have played a role in fueling the flames in this incident. If she had known that today, when he was injured, she should have directly crippled his hands!
"Sister, mother, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?" When they returned to Wen's Jinxiu courtyard, they saw Ning Caixin running out.

"My sister and mother were just blinded by the wind and sand, it's okay."

Xiao Caixin nodded suspiciously. "Sister, Caixin has written a lot of big characters these days, you need to help Caixin see if she has improved."

"it is good."

After staying with the two for a while, Ning Erlan saw that Wen's face was tired, so she got up and went back to her yard.

In the room, Ning Erlan was finely grinding the herbs in her hands.Why did Mo Heng want to marry herself? This was something she had never figured out.

The old lady did not object to this matter, and Ning Guoan, who wanted to curry favor with Mo Heng, naturally would not object either. In the end, the marriage would still be settled by them.

No, she can't sit still like this!
What Ning Erlan didn't expect was that this matter would go on so quickly. Three days later, Mo Heng sent someone to post a post. If the posts were exchanged, the marriage would be half done!

"Miss, the master is injured." Xinyue hurriedly walked into the inner room.

Ning Erlan's eyes lit up. "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"When I went to fetch lunch for the young lady just now, I saw the young servant who was serving the master rushing to the outer courtyard. The servant stopped the other maids and asked, and then I realized that the master was injured."

"Do you know why you were injured?"

"The servant girl heard that it was because the workers in the medicine field were dissatisfied with the master's lack of wages, so they drank something in the master's tea and even beat them."

"Daddy is injured, how can I ignore it, Xinyue took my medicine box, let's go and take a good look at Daddy." Ning Erlan said, with a smile as light as a breeze on her lips.She was just worried that there was nothing she could do, when this opportunity came her way.
