The genius pyrographer of the reborn daughter

Chapter 51
Before the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Shao brought Ning Wanzhu to live in Zhuangzi again.

Rumors in Nanyang Mansion said that the so-called witnesses had been hidden by the Ning family in the Zhuangzi in Du's village.Regarding the identity of this witness, everyone can say anything, but everyone agrees that this person is an old man who served Mrs. Shaw and knew a lot of the inside story of the year.

However, when Aunt Shao went to the Zhuangzi and inquired, not only was there not a single person in the Ningjia Zhuangzi, but two were missing: one was old man Du, and the other was Ning Dayong, both of whom were ordered by Ning Wanzhu to go to the village. I went to do pyrography business in Nanyang City.However, after the twelfth lunar month, old man Du and Ning Dayong returned to Ning's village.

The so-called "witness" was not seen in the whole Zhuangzi.

Aunt Shao was almost going crazy.A few days ago, when Uncle Shao's returned to Nanyang, she was as frightened as a bird.Coupled with the rumors in the mansion, she had a preconceived idea that there must be someone hiding in the Ning family village.But Qiuyu Qiuxue and the others couldn't ask, because these servants were not good at doing things.

Sure enough, that day Qiuxue knocked over a bowl of decoction, Aunt Shao's expression changed drastically, and she ordered the servants in the village to drag Qiuxue down and slap her mouth in the courtyard.

Qiuyu couldn't bear to see Qiuxue's cheeks swelled up and blood dripping from the corners of her mouth after more than ten slaps.She knew what Aunt Shao's heart knot was, so she said to Aunt Shao immediately: "Auntie, if it can be delayed until the New Year's Eve, the servant girl has a way, so that people will have nowhere to hide on the Zhuangzi." Aunt Shao whispered an idea in her ear.

After hearing this, Aunt Shao glared at Qiu Yu, and hissed, "You didn't say it earlier!"

She has been troubled by the so-called "witness witness" for the past few days, and she can't sleep at night. She was originally a person who pretended to be sick, but she almost fell ill.

Qiu Yu was robbed by Aunt Shao, and she couldn't hold back her face, she said with a sneer: "Did this servant suddenly think of this idea?"

Aunt Shao's eyes flickered, and she suddenly sneered and said, "If I tell you to hold Qiuxue's mouth again, will you be able to come up with more ideas?"

After Qiu Yu heard this, she was so shocked that she almost stepped back.She raised her head to look carefully at Aunt Shao's face, only to feel that Aunt Shao's face was flushed, but there was some strange light in her eyes, which was determined and vicious.Qiu Yu couldn't help but glanced at Qiu Xue whose face was covered with tears from the beating, and her heart became colder and colder.

However, Aunt Shao seemed to have a bottom line in her heart and regained her composure.She ordered someone to decoct the medicine again and bring it back.This time, Qiu Yu didn't dare to give it to others, and carefully served it in person. Seeing Aunt Shao take it, she murmured in her heart—this master really spared his life, and always took tonics even when he was not sick.

Ning Wanzhu didn't know anything about Aunt Shao's courtyard.After Ning Dayong and Old Man Du came back to Du's Village, she first asked them about the pyrography business in Nanyang City, and she was very happy to know that her pyrography business had gradually gained a firm foothold in Nanyang.

Ning Dayong asked timidly: "Miss, I have already inquired about the locations and prices of shops in Nanyang City. If Miss wants to open her own shop, I will go to run errands for Miss when I am young."

Ning Wanzhu smiled slightly, and said to old man Du and Ning Dayong: "For the time being, let's take advantage of the Cao family's influence to accumulate some experience in Nanyang, and then open the shop to Beijing."

"Jingzhong?" Old man Du and Ning Dayong looked at each other, wondering why their young lady would have such an idea.Ning Wanzhu also stuck out her tongue secretly, fortunately the old and young in front of her are not considered outsiders.

After hearing Ning Wanzhu's words, Ning Dayong murmured for a while and asked, "Miss, do you really want to continue taking advantage of the Cao family's influence?"

Ning Wan Zhu Wenyan was startled, and asked back: "Does Cao Shijun often come to his shop to take care of your business?"

Old Man Du and Ning Dayong both nodded.Ning Wanzhu lowered her head and pondered.

Old man Du had a good impression of Cao Shijun, and said with a smile, "In my opinion, Mr. Cao is a good man who takes good care of our business. Dayong followed him and learned a lot."

Ning Wanzhu heard old man Du say that Cao Shijun "is a good man", and heard what old man Du said, and his face became hot.On the other side, Ning Dayong blushed slightly and lowered his head.

Just at this moment, Mo Mei came in to report that Cao Shijun was just going back to Cao's village to reconcile the accounts, passing by Du's village, and heard that the young lady also lived in the village, and wanted to come over to say hello.

Cao Shijun didn't come empty-handed. He brought a lot of new year's goods to Ning's family, such as chicken, duck and bacon. In addition, there were fresh vegetables produced in the greenhouse of Cao's village.There are very few households with greenhouses in Nanyang City, and Caojiazhuangzi's greenhouses are considered to be the largest.However, the Cao family has a large population and a lot of entertainment, so the supply of these fresh fruits and vegetables is expected to be in short supply.Cao Shijun was able to think about sending some to Ning Wanzhu, which shows the weight of Ning Wanzhu in his heart.

Ning Wanzhu rubbed her temples, only to feel a headache.Right now, in this Zhuangzi, she has to prepare a decent gift in return, and she won't be able to do it for a while!
So Ning Wanzhu sent Ning Dayong and Mo Mei to ask Cao Shijun to reply, and just said thank you for thinking.As for Ning Wanzhu herself, she reasoned that she was not feeling well and that it was inconvenient for her to go out to meet people.

Mo Mei came back alone, and when she came back, she looked back with a bit of envy when she talked about Ning Dayong, "I didn't seem to be alone when I was with Zhuangzi, I felt that my back was straight, and I was very measured when I spoke. It doesn't look like a businessman, but it looks like it was printed in the same mold as the Cao family, and looks a bit like a scholar."

Indeed, as Ning Dayong got older, Ning Zhuangtou and his wife had high expectations for him, so they raised him meticulously and let him learn to read, write and read.In addition, Lining Dayong recently opened his eyes with Du Laohan in Nanyang City, and now he has a little bit of "Confucian businessman" temperament temporarily.

"By the way, Mr. Cao heard that you were not comfortable, so he pulled me to ask questions. I almost couldn't resist." Mo Mei smiled and added another sentence, the meaning in the words was obvious.

Ning Wan couldn't hold back on her face.She knew what Cao Shijun was thinking, but she was able to avoid it, and even Cao Shijun could still come to Zhuangzi to see her.Ning Wanzhu was really grateful to Cao Shijun in her heart, but she never had any thoughts about Cao Shijun.

Right now, the mutual adjustment between the Ning family's son and concubine has reached the most critical time before the truth comes to light.Since Ning Wanzhu is willing to accompany Aunt Shao to this village, she already has a complete plan and is ready to accompany Aunt Shao to the end.She doesn't want to be distracted, and spends her mind on dealing with Cao Shijun.

Sometimes when Ning Wanzhu thinks about it, she also feels that she is quite selfish, so she can only say "sorry" silently in her heart, and then start to get busy with her own affairs.

Ningjiazhuangzi was busy last year, so the days passed very quickly.In a blink of an eye, the stove sacrifice was over, and everyone in the village was busy preparing for New Year's Eve.At this time, a moth suddenly came out of Aunt Shao's courtyard again.Qiu Yu came out and told Ning Zhuangtou and Mrs. Du that Aunt Shao had prepared a gift for everyone in the Zhuangzi and planned to hand it out to everyone in the Zhuangzi, so she asked everyone in the village to wait and gather in the main courtyard immediately. .

Ning Wanzhu frowned upon hearing the news.

If something is abnormal, it will be a monster!Although Aunt Shao can't be considered too stingy on weekdays, she can't be considered generous either.Give a gift to everyone on Zhuangzi, it's as if the sun came out from the west.This Aunt Shao, what kind of medicine can be sold in the gourd?
She was thinking that Qiu Xue had already come to invite Ning Wanzhu and "everyone" in Ning Wanzhu's courtyard to the main courtyard, and Auntie would personally deliver the gift.

Qiu Xue was slapped a few days ago, and her face is still red and swollen and she can't see anyone, so she had to cover her face with a veil, only showing her eyes.It's a pity that these eyes were also red and swollen, revealing Qiu Xue's thoughts.

After hearing Qiuxue's words, Ning Wanzhu gave a "hmm" and said, "Understood, you go down now, the people in the courtyard and I will pack up and come over."

Qiuxue heard this, but knelt down in front of Ning Wanzhu with a plop, and said, "Second Miss, please don't! Let the slaves go out with you. My aunt said, if I can't go out with Second Miss, I will tear my Mouth..." Thinking of the humiliation she suffered in front of everyone the day before yesterday, Qiu Xue's eye circles immediately became wet again.

Ning Wanzhu said "Oh", and said only: "You just wait here, I'll ask Mother Ye and the others to come out together."

After half a stick of incense, Ning Wanzhu helped Mother Ye out of the courtyard, and Mo Mei and Mo Lan followed behind her.

Qiu Xue's hanging heart was finally let go, and she immediately led Ning Wanzhu and Nanny Ye out.

Taking advantage of Qiu Xue's absence, Ning Wanzhu turned her head and gave Mo Mei a wink.

Mo Mei understood, and on the way to the main courtyard with the group of people, Mo Mei glanced for a while, and rushed into an empty courtyard.She was already lagging behind, but Ning Wanzhu spoke loudly to Nanny Ye again, so Qiu Xue never noticed that Mo Mei at the end of the line had disappeared.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, they saw that everyone in Ningjiazhuangzi gathered in two places, the female relatives gathered inside the gate of the inner courtyard, and the men waited outside the gate of the inner courtyard.Standing beside Aunt Shao was Mrs. Du, who was helping Aunt Shao pass the so-called "courtesy" to everyone.

The ceremony was nothing more than half a foot of head per person, and a five-dollar silver carcass.

Some of the female relatives in the village took this "gift", and couldn't help curling their lips, showing a look of contempt.And Ning Wanzhu also frowned slightly. With the financial resources of the Ning family, it would definitely not be so shabby to give gifts to Zhuangzi's servants.She saw Aunt Shao handing out these "gifts" and at the same time asking Mrs. Du to make a mark on the roster.

"Sure enough—" Ning Wanzhu knew it well.

At this time, Aunt Shao looked at her, and asked Qiu Xue with a bit of eccentricity, "Have all the people in Miss Second's courtyard come?"

Qiu Xue looked back and found that Mo Mei was missing at the end of the group. She couldn't help but turn pale with fright, staggered, and knelt down in front of Aunt Shao with a plop.
