Chapter 49
It was late autumn, and on the path from Ling Cuixuan, where Ning Yu and his wife lived together, to Ning Yu's outer study, a large poplar tree was planted.At this time, the leaves of the poplar trees turned yellow and the fallen leaves were scattered. Ning Yu felt that it was a very beautiful scenery, so he ordered his servants to clean the trails here only once every three days, leaving the fallen leaves for Ning Yu to enjoy the scenery.

The servants of Ning's house sweeper were naturally happy to be lazy, but Ning Wanzhu secretly laughed at his father as an interesting person.Things at home are already overwhelmed, but he still remembers to keep the yellow leaf to watch the scenery.Probably this has something to do with Ning Yu's carefree nature.

Ning Wanzhu told Mo Mei to fetch dozens of more yellow leaves when no one was around.Mo Mei took the order, and came back with a bag of poplar leaves, and said, "Miss, do you want to cook poplar leaves to eat?"

These words made Ning Wanzhu Ninjun couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "puchi".

She took out her most frequently used red sandalwood branding pen, and casually drew patterns on the leaves of the poplar.

Mo Mei and Mo Lan looked interesting at the side. They picked up the leaves that Ning Wanzhu had painted, held them up in front of their eyes, and said with a grin: "Like, really like, the miss is so resembling." .”

After Ning Wanzhu finished painting, she called Mo Mei and Mo Lan, and secretly sent them back to the path when no one was around, and put them in a conspicuous place as much as possible.After that, Ning Wanzhu prayed secretly, hoping that there would be no wind at night, and that her father Ning Yu would see her "graffiti" works without any worries the next day.

In recent days, Ning Yu has to take care of Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning nearby, so he is served by Gong Heng, and he rests in the study outside every day, but he will come to Ling Cuixuan in the morning to have breakfast with Mrs. Yan, by the way As for the general affairs of the family, I also asked Ning Jing, Qing Ning Jing and his little brother about the enlightenment situation.

In the morning, Ning Yu entered Ling Cuixuan with a smile on his face.

Yan Shi was very surprised, and asked Ning Yu, "Did the second master encounter something gratifying and congratulatory? Why are you so happy?"

Ning Yu did not hide his good mood, but he refused to tell Yan the reason, only saying "I saw some funny things on the way here".

Yan had no choice but to wait on Ning Yu for breakfast, and then explained to him the general affairs related to the management of the outer court—"Last time you mentioned that you need to count Mrs. Xian Shao's dowry. I have already seen some candidates, second master, come here Let's see, which one do you prefer?"

Yan Shi took out a piece of paper with several names written on it, and handed it to Ning Yu.

Ning Yu glanced casually, and suddenly laughed out loud "ha".

Yan Shi was baffled, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch his head and face to confirm that it wasn't something wrong with his makeup or clothing, so he dared to speak and asked, "Second Lord, do you think there's anything funny about it?"

Ning Yu still had a smile on his face, pointed to a person's name on the paper, and said, "It's him—Gong Yang, it's him." While talking, the name "Gong Yang" was repeated repeatedly After reading it several times, he got up and went to the outer hall, called Gong Heng who was waiting outside, and asked him in detail about his younger brother Gong Yang, where he is now, what position he holds, and what he has done before.

After asking in a few words, Ning Yu didn't wait for Yan Shi to speak again, and said to Gong Heng: "Let your brother go and count Mrs. Shaw's dowry, and you can send a message to Gong Yang and tell him to come to me in due time." Wait for me at the other end of the study."

From the beginning to the end, Yan Shi didn't even have a chance to interject a half sentence.She had already prepared the belly draft, and planned to induce Ning Yu to choose Manager Ping to do this step by step, but Ning Yu didn't wait for her to speak, and made a final decision on Gong Yang——

Yan Shi looked suspiciously at Gong Heng's face, but seeing that the latter was also puzzled, Yan Shi became even more suspicious.

When Ning Yu went back to the outer study, Yan ordered Ying'er, the eldest maid in her room, to say, "Go to the outer study and look on the road of Ling Cuixuan to see what is different from the usual ones, let the second master I can do this happily." Ying'er took the order, and Jin's mother came up next to her, and said, "Ma'am, what should I do? Manager Ping, but he was promised this benefit in advance, why is it now in the hands of Manager Gong?" Is it on the head? Look, is it Gong Heng who set fire in front of the second master?"

Yan Shi pondered for a long time, and said: "It doesn't look like it! Gong Heng has always been loyal to the second master. He never walks a step or says a word. It's hard to believe that Gong Heng begged behind his back. Second Lord."

Just as she was talking, Yinger came back, shook her head and said: "There is nothing, I even asked the housekeeper for cleaning, and he said that I didn't see anything special."

Yan Shi and Mama Jin looked at each other, and in the end they both showed expressions of disbelief.Finally, Yan Shi reluctantly said to Mama Jin: "Mom, on the other side of Ping, don't talk about it, just say that you will take care of the young lady's dowry in the future. I will definitely recommend him, and tell him not to be impatient."

Mother Jin couldn't be in a hurry. She recommended Ping Jun in front of Yan Shi before, but she received a special gift from Ping Jun's family. Now she didn't expect that what she thought was a certainty, but Ning Yu just laughed like this Then he changed the course and changed the person.In the future, if this matter is spread among the servants, it would be better to tell her old face where to go!And this gift money has to be returned to people later.

On the other side of Wuyuan, Ning Wanzhu heard that his father Ning Yu personally made the final decision to appoint Gong Yang as the head, and counted Shao's dowry, so they laughed together with Momei and Molan.

Mother Ye, who brought the news, couldn't hold back in the end, and smiled to herself.She was still holding a yellow poplar leaf in her hand, on which a goat with horns - "ram" was drawn with a branding pen.The strokes of the branding pen are dark in color, like the pattern of withered leaves when painted on the yellow leaves. It is not eye-catching, but it can make people see the shape.Ning Wanzhu remembered very clearly that in the previous life, Gong Yang later became the chief steward of the Ning family, so he was nicknamed "Gongyang".

"The timing is just a coincidence. As soon as the second master passed by, the servants planned the courtyard, swept away all the leaves on the ground, piled them under the courtyard wall, and set them on fire." Mo Mei said.

There was a sly light in Ning Wanzhu's eyes: "If others don't clean up or burn fallen leaves, why can't we sweep and burn them all?"

Mo Mei immediately slapped herself on the head hard, and everyone else laughed.

However, under Ning Wanzhu's blooming smile, she felt lucky in her heart.She always felt that if it wasn't for her good luck, and if it wasn't for the tacit understanding between father and daughter, and even if it wasn't for Ning Yu's temper, this matter might not be able to fulfill her wish.But her painting skills can influence people's thoughts and even help people make decisions, which is something she is already very sure of.

Thinking of this, Ning Wanzhu cheered up, and couldn't help clenching her fists. She can influence her father's small decision of being the manager. In the future, at the juncture of life and death, she must also be able to help her father and the family.From now on, she must be careful.

Ning Yu pointed out that Manager Gong had counted Mrs. Shaw's dowry, and it spread like wildfire in Ning's house.Regardless of how Mother Jin explained to Guanshi Ping's family, some old people and sons of the Ning family, who are familiar with the past between the Ning family and the Shao family, finally couldn't help but start to relate the matter to the uncle of the Shao family returning home to worship their ancestors. linked together.All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and finally disturbed the Tongyuan where Aunt Shao lived.

In Xiaoyangchun in October, after a few days of blowing in the north, Nanyang City ushered in sunny days for nearly ten consecutive days. It was warm and warm, and even Mr. Ning’s illness improved a lot. Can be supported by others to bask in the sun for half an hour in the yard.

At this time, the Shao family sent a letter, saying that Beijing had sent a decree. Shao Yang, as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, received the title of censor of Jiangnan Road, and he will take office soon, "on behalf of the emperor to patrol hunting".Although the official rank is not high, it is a real power.And as long as this appointment goes well, after Shao Yang returns to Beijing, there is great hope for promotion.

When he heard this letter, Mr. Ning was supported by someone and sat in the Danxuan Hall basking in the autumn sun.Ning Yu stood beside him.The servant from the Shao family who came to report the news went all the way to Mr. Ning.

The old man's body seemed to be trembling in the autumn wind, his cloudy eyes rolled, he exhaled slowly, and said with great difficulty: "Second, it's hard...it's hard for you."

Mr. Ning meant that if Ning Yu didn't miss this subject, he might also be able to become a Jinshi in high school, and become a scholar just like Shao Yang.

After hearing this, Ning Yu felt a little sad.He is the second son of the Ning family, he is neither like the eldest brother Ning Jing, who is placed high by his parents, nor is he like the younger brother Ning Qi, who is most favored by the old lady Ning.He was caught in the middle, and he was not embarrassed all the time. It seemed that only by studying hard in Beijing alone could he attract the attention of his parents.

However, now, Ning Qi became a monk to practice Taoism, and Ning Qi was ordered by the army. He was the only one who could perform filial piety in front of his parents.It's just that the price he and his little family have paid in these years is too high.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu couldn't help but glanced at the Wuyuan and Lanyuan, and then turned his eyes to look at Mr. Ning, as if he said in a beautiful way: "Father, don't think too much, your son has done what a son of man should do, Only peace of mind."

In Wuyuan, Mo Lan happily told Ning Wan the news about Zhu Shao's uncle.Ning Wanzhu looked at her anxiously, smiled and rewarded her with a red seal of five qian.Mo Lan was overjoyed, she leaned in front of Ning Wanzhu, and said in a low voice: "Just now, Yan Qi from the Orchid Court also went to the eldest lady to announce the happy news, who knew that the eldest lady was not only unhappy, but also blamed Yan Qi for bumping into her. "

Ning Wanzhu's smile froze.

In the previous life, the relationship between Ning Luozi and the Shao family was not good, and the Shao family was never truly regarded by Ning Luozi as her uncle's family.However, in this life, uncle Shao Yang is already Ning Luozi's biological uncle in name, why is this Ning Luozi still not wanting to see the Shao family at all, even unwilling to do such a little superficial effort, it's just a servant Saw the joke?
