Chapter 53
The posterior mountain bone, that is, the occipital bone, is born in the back of the human head.Some people are born with an abnormal shape in the back of the mountain, with a high protrusion. Such people are often considered to be smart and decisive when they grow up. However, some people are also called "reverse bones in the back of the head".

As for Ning Wanzhu and Ning Luozi, they were born very close to each other, and they look similar, and both of them were born with a pair of skin that is whiter than snow, and the skin can be broken.Therefore, in addition to physical signs, the two of them do not have any characteristics that can be used to distinguish them such as "moles" and "birthmarks"-the only thing that can be barely talked about is that when Ning Wanzhu was born, the midwife and wet nurse Everyone has mentioned that the eldest daughter of the Ning family has a tall back, so she must be a smart girl when she grows up.

When the midwife and the wet nurse were talking, Aunt Shao was pregnant with Ning Luozi and had a big belly. She passed by the delivery room of the Shao family, and the words of the wet nurse Pan fell into Aunt Shao's ears .After Ning Luozi was born, Aunt Shao immediately touched the back of her own daughter's head, but found an extremely flat head.

Therefore, when Aunt Shao heard that the businessman surnamed Pan mentioned the "Bone of the Back Mountain", she naturally thought that this person surnamed Pan should have something to do with Ning Wanzhu's nanny that day.In her private mind, the reason for this family friend surnamed Pan to join the Ning family was to spread rumors and to add fuel to the flames when the dispute between the two daughters of the Ning family was in full swing.

Qiu Yu didn't dare to say anything, but silently cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces and tea leaves in front of Aunt Shao.As soon as she got up, she heard Aunt Shao muttering to herself: "Instead of solving these 'witnesses' one after another, it would be better for me to risk my life and deal with the second lady directly. The eldest lady is... naturally the eldest daughter."

Qiu Yu was shocked, and knelt down in front of Aunt Shao with a plop, and said in a sad voice, "Auntie must not think like this! Missy is still young, and she still needs someone to support and guide her in the Ning family. The days are still long, Auntie It's even better to watch the young lady grow up!"

Aunt Shao stared straight ahead, not looking at Qiu Yu, she just shook her head slightly, and said, "You don't know, Luo Zi... Luo Zi doesn't need a biological mother like me who can't stand on the stage. Luo Zi is very smart, By herself, she will definitely be able to gain a good foothold in the Ning family. Why don't I, I'll be the villain and solve that last trouble for her." The "trouble" in her mouth naturally refers to Ning Wanzhu.

Seeing the frightening light in Aunt Shao's eyes, Qiu Yu wondered what crazy thing this master was going to do again, she was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Shao, it's not that there is no room for change..."

Aunt Shao's body trembled, and she looked at Qiu Yu in a blink of an eye, "What can you do?"

Qiu Yu's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly, like autumn leaves trembling in the autumn wind.She thought for a while, then bit her lip and said: "The best way is to let this person break his promise, so that everyone will not believe his words..."

After hearing Qiu Yu's words, Aunt Shao stood up abruptly, turned around the room twice, and when she turned her face away, she already had a smile on her face, and said to Qiu Yu, "You are still clever... Let me think about it. Is there any way to ruin the reputation of that surname Pan?"

After hearing what Aunt Shao said, Qiu Yu complained all over Aunt Shao in her stomach, wondering why this aunt was always thinking about ruining her reputation, and she didn't think about her own reputation in the eyes of outsiders.Qiu Yu is Aunt Shao's confidant, so Qiu Yu knows all about Ning Wanzhu and Ning Luozi's intercourse.She felt that Aunt Shao's most miscalculated point in the whole thing was that she put her true feelings towards the second daughter on the bright side.

Just imagine, the Ning family's concubine and concubine exchanged each other, and Ning Wanzhu, who was originally the eldest daughter of the concubine, acted as Aunt Shao's biological concubine, but this Aunt Shao didn't treat her "natural" daughter at all close, and even treated her as a concubine all day long. People are detained on the Zhuangzi in the countryside.There are more people who know about this matter, and some doubts will naturally arise.Once there are any rumors in the mansion, or someone suddenly questions the matter of the Ning family's concubine, those who know will break up the old story: "I said, why does Aunt Shao always treat her own daughter so harshly? I have become a concubine, and let my own daughter take the title of daughter of the concubine!"

This is also the reason why there are always many people believing the rumors in the Ning Mansion.

Not to mention how Aunt Shao and Qiu Yu planned to tarnish the reputation of the businessman with the surname Pan, Ning Wanzhu also felt that Aunt Shao's yard was moving frequently in the past two days, so she naturally had to be more vigilant on her end.So Ning Wanzhu made up her mind to make the small courtyard where she and Madam Ye lived together like an iron barrel.

Coincidentally, there is a well in Ning Wanzhu's small courtyard, so the people in Ning Wanzhu's courtyard get their drinking water from this well, and they will never use the water in the big kitchen outside.As for the food, every time the big pot of dishes in the big kitchen is ready, Mo Mei or Mo Lan will directly take the food from Ning Wanzhu's yard from the stove, and never give it to others.

Zhuangtou's wife, Mrs. Du, thought that it was not a problem, so she simply found a few people to repair an abandoned small kitchen in Ning Wanzhu's yard.Therefore, in addition to the meals in the big kitchen, Ning Wanzhu can also cook "small stoves" according to his own taste.Ning Xiaoya, the eldest daughter of the Zhuangtou couple, used to like to visit Ning Wanzhu's courtyard the most on weekdays. When she saw this small kitchen, she immediately burst into smiles.

It turned out that Ning Xiaoya had already started to learn some stove work from Mrs. Zhuangtou. She was quite fond of cooking and had some talent.Ning Wanzhu graciously allowed Ning Xiaoya to come and practice cooking in the small kitchen every day.

Piansheng Ning Wanzhu has several years of experience as Mrs. Hou in her previous life. There are many dishes and ingredients that are popular in Beijing.Therefore, she often taught Ning Xiaoya one or two, and the latter's skills immediately improved by leaps and bounds.Because of this, Ning Xiaoya came to Ning Wanzhu's small courtyard every day, and even quarreled with Mrs. Du, wanting to be transferred to Ning Wanzhu's side to serve.

Du Shi had a headache.Although she is a village woman who grew up in the village, she has been the head of the village for many years, and she knows a thing or two about many messy things in the inner courtyard of the Ning family.Du Shi knew that the more important it was at this juncture, the more he couldn't let Ning Xiaoya and Ning Wanzhu get involved too much.

Ning Wanzhu nodded understandingly, reassuring Mrs. Du, and then went to persuade Ning Xiaoya herself.

After listening to her daughter's concession, Mrs. Du finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt grateful to Ning Wanzhu in her heart.

At this time, the first month will be halfway through.

After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is over.But spring has not yet started in Du's Village, and each household is still in the winter leisure time, so there are a lot of people walking around and visiting.However, Dujia Village only has such a small population of people who come and go, coupled with the simplicity of the country people, so Dujia Village has a certain atmosphere of not closing doors at night and not picking up lost things on the road.

At noon on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, suddenly a family came to the village head in a hurry, saying that their silver taels and a farming ox had been stolen from their home.It's nothing more than taels of silver, just imagine how much taels of silver an ordinary farmer in Du's village can have.However, the cattle are no small matter. Losing the cattle is not only a loss of property, but also a worry about livelihood in the coming year.

The head of Dujia Village heard about it and immediately mobilized the whole village to go out to look for cattle.Who knew, this farm ox was found in the cowshed in the outer yard of Ning's Zhuangzi, and was tied to a wooden fence, so it was definitely not the ox that came to Ning's house on its own.

Zhuangtou Ning Yongqiang hurriedly came forward to negotiate with the villagers of Dujia Village.

Thinking that the Ning family originated in Du's Village, and the Ning's Zhuangzi also existed in Du's Village for more than three generations, they have always lived in harmony and never had any conflicts.The head of the village, Mrs. Du, is the niece of the old head of Du's Village.Therefore, it is really unreasonable to say that the people in Ning's Zhuangzi were greedy for such a farm ox.

But this cattle was found in the cowshed of the Ning family.

The old village head of Du's Village pondered for a moment, and then said to Ning Yongqiang: "Qiangzi, we can trust everyone in your village, but is there any outsider who came recently?" The finger pointed at the merchant named Pan.

Ning Yongqiang couldn't do it, so he asked someone to ask the merchant surnamed Pan to speak.Unexpectedly, the person surnamed Pan is not in his room.Ning Yongqiang had no choice but to arrange someone to search the inside and outside of the house, but did not find the stolen silver taels from the villagers of Dujia Village.Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to find the merchant with the surname Pan.

Mo Lan heard the movement outside, so she came to report to Ning Wanzhu.After Ning Wanzhu heard this, she put down the branding pen in her hand, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Not good! Ask Ning Zhuangtou to block all the entrances and exits of Ning's Zhuangzi, and count them immediately to see who is not in the Zhuangzi at the moment." .”

Mo Lan is one who fears the world will not be chaotic, and the more excited she is at this time, the more inexplicably excited she is.After hearing this, she immediately responded, "Yes, miss." Immediately spread her legs and ran out to send a message to Ning Yongqiang.

Ning Yongqiang did as he did, but he also sent many people out to find Napan Hangshang.Ning Wanzhu sent out a letter, asking Ning Yongqiang to write down the list of people sent out, and then check it with the results of the population count in Ning's village.

When it was getting dark, the businessman surnamed Pan came back.

He didn't know anything about what happened in Du's Village. When asked by others, he only said that he went to Nanyang City to visit his old friends today, and he was not in Du's Village.Pan Hangshang mentioned who he visited in Nanyang City, and went to that restaurant, that shop, etc., and he said exactly what he said. Even Ning Yongqiang, who often went to Nanyang City, could not criticize anything. Come from the wrong place.

Just when the old village head was skeptical of Pan Xingshang's words, the sufferer who had stolen the silver suddenly came to the door with a bitter face, and said to the old village head, "I'm really sorry, it was really a misunderstanding."

The sufferer told the old village head that his silver taels had been collected by his wife in advance, and the collection was kept secret, even his wife herself forgot.I searched several places that day but couldn't find them, and when the farm cattle at home ran away, they yelled together.Now the silver tael has been found on the beams of the house.
