Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 231 Gift of Peony

The banquet is surrounded by the lake, with a row of small round tables.

There are countless lanterns swaying all around, illuminating the lakeside like daytime.

Ning Xianxian sat in the shadow of a willow tree in the corner and looked towards Li Yanjun.

Counting it, Li Yanjun has been pregnant for more than two months now, but there is no sign of pregnancy at all from the outside.

Still slender, with a delicate face.

She supported the hand of a little maid, with a noble and graceful demeanor, and glanced around.When she saw Ning Xianxian, she also passed by without stopping.

Beside her, the well-dressed Ning Chengcheng, like a delicate flower waiting to bloom, is attentively serving the aunt.

However, Li Yanjun always treated her a little coldly, not as much as before.

Ning Chengcheng knew it was because she had offended the empress's junior sister.

Although she was unwilling, she still kept the most appropriate smile on her face at all times, serving her aunt wholeheartedly, and wanted to regain her favor.

And her biological mother, Aunt Bai, was left alone.

Aunt Bai was the first concubine who followed Ning Xiangguo.

These years gave birth to the young master Ning Tianyi, and the most beautiful Miss Ning Ning Chengcheng.It can be said that his position in the mansion is stable, but after all, he is old, his color fades and he loves to gallop, and he is no longer favored by Ning Xiangguo, but he is just struggling day by day.

As for her daughter's behavior of flattering her aunt, she didn't seem to notice, she just lowered her head and drank tea with a calm expression.

At this moment, Ning Tianyou came over, saluted his grandmother and mother, and asked if the banquet could begin.

The old lady basically doesn't ask about family affairs, she just wants to have fun with her children and grandchildren.Everything is decided by the mistress Li Yanjun.

Li Yanjun raised his hand lightly, and said without a trace of smoke and fire: "Let's start. By the way, where is the craftsman who grows flowers?"

Ning Tianyou was about to speak, when suddenly he saw a servant rushing towards him, shouting, "His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, is here—"

Everyone was startled, got up in a hurry, arranged their clothes and prepared to welcome them.

Unexpectedly, the young man said again: "The Second Highness came out of the palace in modest clothes. He said he was just here to have a drink with the young masters and enjoy the flowers. He didn't want to disturb the cleanliness of the wives and ladies. Just treat it as usual, and there is no need to visit. Otherwise, the noisy salute will lose its elegance and let down such a beautiful moonlight."

Now that the prince said so, and didn't want all the old and young to disturb his pleasure, Li Yanjun had no choice but to give up, and said: "Your, you must serve His Highness well, and don't make any mistakes. Where's your father?"

Ning Tianyou said: "Father is still discussing matters in the palace and has not returned."

"Oh, I see. You go." Li Yanjun waved his hands, lost in thought.

When Madam Ning saw it, she said, "Madam, you are inconvenient. If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. The Second Madam is here."

"Yes, sister-in-law is pregnant, so she can't be tired." The second wife, Mrs. Mu, laughed loudly, "With me here, I promise to take care of you properly."

Li Yanjun glanced at her and said calmly: "Although I am pregnant, I can't even sit for a while. Someone, go to the front and ask if the gardener is here."

Soon someone came back and said, "Ma'am, the person has arrived. The second young master is leading her here at this moment."

Before Li Yanjun frowned, Ning Tianyou had already led a thin and thin person towards Huafuliu.

When everyone took a closer look, it turned out to be a very handsome young man in his twenties.

It's just that this man's figure is too thin, and he looks a little weak.

He followed Ning Tianyou to Old Madam Ning, and knelt down to salute her: "Caomin Dingcha, I have met Madam, madam and ladies."

Mrs. Ning has a bodhisattva heart. Seeing his fragile appearance, she hurriedly waved her hands: "Get up quickly, why is this child so thin? He has a good appearance."

After Ding Cha thanked him, he stood up with his hands hanging down, very gentle and gentle.

"Let me ask you, where are you from?" the old lady asked kindly.

"Caomin's hometown is in the southwest, but he has been living in Kyoto since his grandfather's generation. So Caomin can be regarded as half a native of Kyoto."

"Oh, did you learn to grow flowers since you were a child?" the old lady asked curiously.

"As for the old lady, Caomin's grandfather was a gardener, and both father and Caomin inherited this craft to support the family." Ding Cha replied honestly.

Mrs. Ning saw that he was handsome and gentle, so she liked it a little in her heart, and said with a smile: "I have always liked flowers and grass, come to the mansion tomorrow when you are free, give me Plant some potted flowers."

"Caomin came here this time and specially prepared a few pots of flowers for the old lady and madam. Although they are not expensive, they were raised by Caomin himself." Ding Cha glanced at Ning Tianyou.

Ning Tianyou immediately ordered the servants following behind: "Bring up the flowers."

Two maids brought up two pots of blooming peonies.

Peony is notoriously gorgeous and colorful. The two pots in front of my eyes are pure white with a hint of red, just like the blush on the cheeks of a beauty.Even among flowers, it can be called a stunning beauty.

"Wow, so beautiful."

Everyone started talking in low voices.

Ding Cha smiled and said, "These two pots are dedicated to the old lady and madam."

Mrs. Ning and Li Yanjun couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Only one person grimaced.

The second wife, Mrs. Mu.

She is the serious second bedroom of the Ning family, and even a gardener doesn't pay attention to her!
Looking at the two pots of delicate and beautiful peonies, Mu wished to pour the hot tea in his hand on them.

Ning Xianxian sat in the shadow, watching her crumpling a handkerchief into a rag, her eyes flickering, thinking secretly.

On the other side, Mrs. Ning was in a happy mood, and she was rewarded with Ding Cha, and asked Ning Tianyou to take him down.Before leaving, he warned: "I've always known the temper of you guys, you can eat as much as you want, this kid is pitiful, he's weak by nature, don't bully him."

"Old ancestor, my grandson will never dare to bully Brother Ding." Ning Tianyou smiled, and led Ding Cha back.

So all the young ladies rushed up to appreciate the peony.

Only Ning Chengcheng did not move, and remained loyally by Li Yanjun's side.

Ning Xianxian knew all of these people, but he couldn't.She sat and drank tea for a while, and ate a few snacks. She felt a little tired, so she stood up and walked towards a small gravel road behind the willow tree.

The evening breeze in May is very cool and comfortable, the sky is full of stars, and the moon is in the sky.

It's really a beautiful day.

Ning Xianxian's mood was very calm, following the familiar road, she wanted to take a look at the place where she used to live.

Because there was a large banquet in the mansion, most of the servants went to serve, and most of the rest went to slack, play tricks, eat and drink.

The backyard was quiet and there was no one in sight.

Ning Xianxian strolled leisurely, looking at the scenery all the way, when passing by a gatehouse, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside.

The voice was a bit depressed, humming and chirping, and I didn't know whether it was crying or laughing.

Ning Xianxian was startled, approached the gatehouse, and looked in through the crack of the door——

　If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down...haha.
