Chapter 39 Living Color and Fragrant Smell
After waiting in the pavilion for a while, he didn't see Wet Nurse Bai, but he saw the little girl called Cui'er.
Cui'er was followed by two lowly girls, they went through the pavilion, then slowly approached the pavilion and stopped in their tracks. They stared at Ning Yan as if she was their enemy.
Because I didn't get a squid, so I bear a grudge? Of course it was impossible for it to be like this, Ning Yan randomly guessed the reason behind Cui'er's white eyes.
"Lady Ning, my grandmother invites you."
"Where's the Wet Nurse Bai?" Regarding the Cui'er's invitation, Ning Yan was a little confused. She was brought over by the Wet Nurse Bai, even if she saw this master, it should be someone from the Wet Nurse Bai.
The Cui'er in front of him could tell at a glance that he was not in the same boat as Wet Nurse Bai.
"You really are from a small clan. When did Wet Nurse Bai have the time to bother with you? Hurry up and follow along."
"…" Ning Yan never knew that a little girl could actually have so much confidence.
"I'm sorry, but something has happened at home. I'll head back first."
After Ning Yan finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
Cui'er was dumbfounded. Ever since she became the head maid, she had never been thrown so far by others.
"Not going?" You are not afraid of your wife's reproach. "
"…" Ning Yan turned her head and looked at Cui'er with pity. To be able to become head maid with such an IQ, that Second Young Madam must be a fool too!
Being looked down upon by Ning Yan, Cui'er became even more furious: "Stop right there."
"…" Ning Yan pretended not to hear and continued to walk outside.
The Cui'er panicked. The granny only wanted her to summon someone, she did not manage it well, the Wet Nurse Bai had already informed her, if she forced the woman in front of her away, she would be demoted to a second-rate girl.
"Lady Ning, wait a moment …" Afraid that Ning Yan had really left, Cui'er pushed two of the wood-like servant girl s away, got up and ran in front of Ning Yan.
Ning Yan did not speak, her gaze landing on Cui'er, waiting for her to speak.
This servant apologizes to you. This servant was just anxious and was unable to control her temper, but even Granny and the Wet Nurse Bai are waiting, and you don't want the Wet Nurse Bai to be in a bad position, right? "
Ning Yan did not say anything and continued to stare at Cui'er.
"…" Cui'er was angered to the point that her face turned green. Indeed, the rural woman did not know how to advance or retreat, she had already apologized, and was still thinking. Anyway, the kitchen side already knew how to fire squid, if this woman did not know how to advance or retreat …
"Let's go!" Seeing that the Cui'er was about to explode, Ning Yan said indifferently.
The Cui'er heaved a sigh of relief and led the two wooden stake like girls to lead the way for Ning Yan.
The Bai residence was not large, but it had pavilions, pavilions, fake mountains, and all sorts of pavilions. It was currently summer, and the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming just right. There were even willow trees planted beside the pond.
A light wind blew, and the fragrance of incense filled the air.
Passing through the lotus pond, walking on the hand curving walkway, from time to time, a little girl would nod her head and greet the Cui'er.
"..."
After walking for nearly fifteen minutes and passing through three drooping flower gates, and entering the Flower Hall, Ning Yan finally saw the shadow of the Wet Nurse Bai.
Wet Nurse Bai stood by the side of the imperial concubine's bed, waiting for the woman on the bed to eat peach, he peeled off the peach skin, held a silver knife and cut off the peach meat, placed it on a plate, then picked up a silver fork and placed it in the woman's mouth.
"Madam, Lady Ning is here." Cui'er walked in front and said a few words before retreating behind the woman lying on the imperial concubine's bed.
The lady waved her hand, and Wet Nurse Bai kept her plate.
The woman put away the clothes that fell on her shoulders and sat up straight. The woman's appearance was not the best, but her cherry lips, nose, and eyes were just right for every part of her body. Her body was fat, revealing half of her chest, and a peony stuck in her head.
If she had to use a word to describe the woman in front of him, Ning Yan could only think of something to describe her.
It was said that this Second Madam came from Quan Zhou, and Fujian was a place to raise people.
"Second Madam."
"Take a seat Lady Ning, the way to eat squid has already been said. If you can bring the business of the restaurant back to life, I really have to thank you."
"I can't, but it's just that I have a lot of things to do. The Wet Nurse Bai has helped me a few times previously as well."
"You are quite an interesting person. If others see me and can't even speak properly, you can still remind me of what I'm here for. Speak, what request do you have?"
"Second Madam is also a smart person." Ning Yan said.
Hearing Ning Yan's words, the Wet Nurse Bai was shocked, she never thought that Ning Yan would actually be so frank with the Second Madam.
If she were to be blamed, the handkerchief in Wet Nurse Bai's hands would be ripped apart. If she were to be blamed, there was nothing she could do.
"He really is bold, no wonder he was able to hunt down wolves from the mountains." Second Madam laughed as she waved at Ning Yan.
Ning Yan walked over.
Second Madam took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Ning Yan's wrist. Her red lips opened and closed: This is what the old master gave me back then.
"…" Does this mean that when I go out in the future, I'll occasionally roll up my sleeves and show them to others?
Is it convenient to fight with a jade bracelet?
Waiting for Ning Yan to thank him and for him to not be able to get the words she expected, Second Madam was truly shocked. The bracelet she gave out wasn't cheap. If she put it in the pawnshop, it would be worth at least three hundred silver taels.
"Then, if Madam needs any help in the future, you can go to the Gouzi Bay at the east of the county city and look for me."
"Alright."
Once Ning Yan left, the Cui'er couldn't help but walk to the Second Madam first. "This Ning Yan is too much! What is there in our huge Bai Clan that we can't do? We don't even know what's good for us, even if we need her help. "
Wet Nurse Bai wanted to help Ning Yan say something, but when she thought more carefully, she didn't know what she could say.
Others did not know the price of the bracelet, but she did. Logically speaking, Madame should not have given away such a valuable item.
As his wife did things, they became more and more confused.
"You guys, when you're free, ask me about what's going on outside. Do you really think it's that easy to hunt wild wolves, catch deer, and even make strange things into delicacies?"
"Is there anything else that's not simple?" The Cui'er asked directly.
"What do you think?"
"Your servant doesn't know."
"It's not that I don't know, if you knew, you wouldn't just be a servant girl."
"As the Second Madam spoke, she walked down from the couch and sat in front of the mirror. She then took off the peony on her head and changed into a new set of clothes before heading to the front of the academy.
"..."
"Are you sure that the forging technique was discovered by the Ning Yan that you mentioned?"
"When did I miss your words?"
"Then try your best to build a good relationship with him. If you can persuade him to hand over his forging technique, if you can report it to the emperor, the future of our Tongxian County will be bright."
"It's master, your future is bright."
"I like this talkative mouth of yours."
A burst of laughter came from the study room of the Bai Clan.
