Chapter 48 (1/2)
Since the separation of the family, the life of two bedrooms and three bedrooms has been much worse than before.
The property that had been allocated to her had shrunk a lot than before, and all the property had been taken care of by herself. No matter the second lady or the third lady, they began to care about it, and they were not as extravagant as before. However, they have long been spoiled by the Ning family, and suddenly changed their environment, and their living habits can not be changed for a while.
Without Ning Yanting's subsidy, or the ruthlessness of taking things from the public, the second wife and the third lady kept in mind the expenses and income every day, and when it was a deficit at the end of the month, she was immediately pained to draw.
Ning Qing's money for jewelry is less than before. Even the cost of food and clothing is more than a little lower than before. If she didn't care about other things, the attitude of Mr. Zhou to her suddenly cooled down, which was the most flustered for her.
Not like eating and drinking and jewelry, Mr. Zhou is her future security. Although she has made a marriage, Ning Qing has no reason to panic. Even when she and Mrs. Zhou met by chance, it seemed that Mrs. Zhou's attitude towards her was much colder than before.
Ning Qing noticed these, but dare not tell her mother this matter.
She knew that it was mostly because of the separation of the family.
She was afraid to tell the story. Since the separation of the family, not only the uncle and his family have torn their faces, but also the third uncle's family has no good face. It is only because the uncle mentioned her dowry that night when he said the separation. For her dowry, her father went to the uncle several times, and didn't know whether it was because of this that he annoyed him. The third uncle complained that her marriage cost too much money, and her father also complained that the uncle was seriously injured and caused trouble, so both families could not see it.
Before the separation, the two rooms and the three rooms all took advantage of the big house. Now they have separated their families and have no interest relationship. They even start to look at each other's eyes.
The three brothers of the Ning family were originally famous for their filial piety and harmony. Since their separation, there have been rumors outside for some reason. They have pointed the spearhead of the separation at their two rooms and three rooms, and described them as ungrateful and disrespectful to their elder brothers. Even when Ning Yanwen went out to communicate with each other, those officials also looked at him with strange eyes.
Ning Qing knows that she can't wait to die, so she finds another chance. She asks her servant girl to inquire about Mrs. Zhou's daily itinerary, and finds a chance to meet Mrs. Zhou in the jewelry shop.
This time Mrs. Zhou saw her, and her attitude was not as cold as before. Instead, she took her hand and even bought her a set of jewelry for her on the ground that she had never been to her daughter-in-law.
Ning Qing was ashamed and happy. He took Mrs. Zhou's arm and said a lot of good words. He coaxed Mrs. Zhou's smile all the time. When the meal was ordered, they went to a famous restaurant nearby.
Half way through lunch, Mrs. Zhou asked with a smile, ”I don't know if you've heard of the most famous Miss Ning in Beijing recently.”
Ning Qing's face was stiff with a smile and soon disappeared. She pretended to be surprised and said, ”madam, I don't know. Miss Ning is my cousin.”
”Miss Naning was in master Huizhen's eyes and got a comment from master Huizhen.” Zhou Fu said: ”I heard that Miss Naning had a bad reputation, and I don't know what happened. Master Huizhen himself said that he was a pure and good-natured person, and he could even spread such rumors... ”
Mrs. Zhou said, looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Ning Qing's face was stiff, and her heart was flustered. But soon, she pressed down the panic and pretended to be distressed: ”when I heard about this, I was also surprised, warm sister Warm sister, she is very good to us. Before we lived together, she would give us anything good first. I don't know where this rumor came from. Madam said so, I thought of... ” She said, and then quickly stopped talking, dare not continue to say.
”What did you think of?” asked Mrs. Zhou
Ning Qing hesitated and said, ”it seems that it's not very good to talk about it, but my cousin doesn't get along well with warm sister...”
Ning Qing's face showed embarrassment. After that, she didn't know whether to say it or not. She just looked at Mrs. Zhou in embarrassment.
Mrs. Zhou gave a kind smile, extended her hand to hold her, and patted placidly: ”I know you are a good one.”
Ning Qingchang breathed a sigh of relief, and moved to extend his hand to seize Mrs. Zhou's hand, said: ”Madam understand, I can't be more happy.” Seeing that Mrs. Zhou seemed to be very interested in Ning Nuan, she took the initiative to mention: ”speaking of my warm sister, she is a few months older than me. I have arranged a marriage, but she has never heard from her. Now with master Huizhen's words, I think my uncle and aunt can rest assured...”
”I want to tell you about it.” Mrs. Zhou said happily.
Ning Qing looks stiff again.
She opened her mouth and looked at Mrs. Zhou. She couldn't react.
”Ma'am, you say...”
”You are engaged to my son, and I will not hide it from you.” Zhou Fu said, ”your cousin is in the eyes of master Huizhen. Now people in the capital are asking about Miss Ning. Not long ago, Mrs. Shangshu also told me that her son and miss Ning are at the same age. You and miss Ning are sisters. I'll ask you, how is the younger sister Ning?”Ning Qing almost bit his teeth.
Why is Ning warm's life so good?!
Her reputation has become so bad that she can meet Master Huizhen. That's enough. Now even Mrs. Shangshu has taken a fancy to her?!
How can all this good thing be occupied by Ning Nuan?!
Shangshu is one level higher than the Chamberlain. She can not easily marry Mr. Zhou. If Ning Nuan's marriage is settled, will she not marry better than her?!
Ning Qing heart is almost to vomit bleeding, but she looked up at Mrs. Zhou, see Mrs. Zhou's eyes eager, but it is not good to say what.
