When Ning Lang went out, most of spring had passed, and the weather soon became hot. As soon as they were free, they hid under the eaves to enjoy the cool. They were more reluctant to go out than before.
In the summer, the ice in the capital became a hot item. Jiang Yunlan seized the opportunity early and found a way to buy a lot of ice to store. When the weather was hot, she made food from the ice and sold it in the food shop. As expected, it was very popular. She made a lot of money. She was very happy for several days. Seeing the hot and dry weather, she even made a jade mat for Ning Nuan with a large amount of money. As soon as people lay on the jade mat, they would be able to dissipate the heat of the day. It was cool and comfortable. Ning Nuan also liked it very much.
On the day when the jade mat was ready and delivered to your house, Wang Quan also got Chu Fei's order and pulled a cart of ice.
Since Ning Lang left the capital, Chu Fei has always come to offer hospitality. If Ning Nuan goes out, he will encounter him several times. When Ning Nuan doesn't go out, he sends Wang Quan to deliver things every day. Everything is in line with Ning Nuan's preference. However, Jiang Yunlan has told him in the morning. Therefore, the things that Chu Fei sent can't even enter the gate of Ning's house.
But he was not discouraged at all. He let Wang Quan feel the road near Ning house thoroughly, and he could come from Lord an's house to Ning house with his eyes closed.
But Wang Quan couldn't get in. As soon as a cart of ice had been pulled over to explain the purpose of his coming, the doorkeeper immediately got used to showing a puzzled expression: "as our wife said, we can't accept anything from the Lord."
Wang Quan also took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and put it into his hand: "our Lord has ordered that if we don't give this car ice to miss Ning, I will never go back to the palace. Please inform Miss Ning for me."
The gatekeeper skillfully collected the money and said, "I'll go and talk to miss Xiangtao."
After a while, the peach came out.
She said with a foul face: "our wife said, nothing, let your Lord don't send things here."
"Miss Xiangtao, look at this thing first." Wang Quan opened the tightly covered quilt and revealed a corner at the bottom. Immediately, a chill came out of it: "our Lord is thinking about Miss Ning. She is worried about the hot weather. She is not used to it. She specially asked me to deliver ice."
"Ice?" Xiangtao's eyes stopped, subconsciously looked there, and quickly firmly moved away from her eyes, and said, "we miss don't need your ice."
"Miss Xiangtao, just for the sake of Miss Ning, don't you refuse so quickly. For the sake of the ice, our Lord has spent a lot of time. With these ice, Miss Ning will be better this summer, don't you?" Wang Quan said, "why don't you ask Ning if she wants this ice?"
Xiangtao raised her chin and said triumphantly, "we miss don't need ice now. Our wife specially made a whole jade mat with jade. It's very cool."
"Jade mat?" Wang Quan was surprised. He looked back at a load of ice and sighed: "it seems that our Lord is preparing for nothing again."
Xiangtao complacent, looking at him with a car of ice left, just go back to tell Ning warm.
"Is he here again?" Ning Nuan leans on the newly made jade mat, which is covered with silk and feels smooth and cool. She turns over the book in her hand lazily: "what did you send this time?"
"It's a load of ice." The fragrant peach curled her lips and said, "an Wang is really a big hand."
"There's no waste of left and right."
"So it is." Xiangtao got up again and said happily: "it's better for the lady to treat her. This whole jade mat costs a lot of money. It's the only one in Beijing."
Ning Nuan said anxiously, "it's just that I heard that Qingzhou is hot and full of mosquitoes, and I don't know how my brother is living there. In the letter sent by King an not long ago, it can be said that his elder brother was bitten by a poisonous insect there. How could he bear such a pain? "
"The young master also sent a letter, saying that he met a miracle doctor and gave him a prescription to cure poisonous insects. Now he doesn't worry about this."
"My brother, after he went to Qingzhou, he always reported the good news instead of the bad news. If it was not for the news sent by an Wang from time to time, I don't know what happened to my brother." Thinking of this, Ning Nuan couldn't sit still. He got up and went out and said, "it's been several days since the letter was delivered by King an last time. Maybe it's coming again."
Xiangtao quickly followed up.
Ning Nuan went to Ning Lang's room, and sure enough, there was a letter on it. There was nothing on one envelope, and the other was signed to give it to her.
Ning Nuan first opened the unnamed letter and quickly read it from the beginning. Seeing that it did not say that her brother was in any danger, she took a long sigh of relief. She handed the letter to Xiangtao and asked Xiangtao to send it to Jiang Yunlan. She sat down again and opened another envelope with its name.
At the beginning, an Wang often put a page in the news of Ning Lang, which was full of his rambling chatter. Ning Nuan either gave it to his parents or burned it directly. Later, Chu Fei talked more and more about it. He couldn't write down a page, so he wrote to her directly.Ning Nuan didn't want to see it at first, but chufei didn't care. He still remembered that the envelope was getting thicker and thicker every time. Even Ning Nuan didn't care at first, but he gradually became curious.
This time, Wang Quangang took the ice and sent it back. He immediately wrote about the ice in his letter. He also said that there was ice in his palace, and the car was specially reserved for Ning Nuan. Who knows Jiang Yunlan suddenly made a jade mat, which made the ice he specially left useless. Chu Fei was very angry and even more worried about how he didn't think of the jade mat earlier.
Where has Ning Nuan seen him before?
She met with an Wang, either confident or shameless. Ning Nuan had never seen the garrulous appearance in her letter. When she was free, she could write several pages full of paper, just like the birds on the branches in spring. Opening his letter became one of Ning Nuan's daily pleasures.
At the beginning, Chu Fei didn't have so much to say. He still insisted on maintaining a stable appearance in front of Ning Nuan. When he wrote a letter, he was also concise. Later, when he learned that Ning Nuan was unwilling to read the letter, he talked more and more. He didn't want to think about one sentence several times as before. He wrote all the good and bad things as a private secretary. Who knows Ning warm received much, unexpectedly looked up again, saw his many complex psychology all to see in.
If you let Chu Fei know that his steady image in Ning Nuan's heart is gone, I'm afraid he would like to bump into a stone lion at the gate of Prince an's residence.
Ning Nuan read the letter from the beginning to the end. Then he threw the letter into the brazier and lit it with a torch. Soon the letter paper burned to ashes.
Xiangtao goes and returns, "Miss, your wife calls you to go."
Rather warm cut clothes, get up to go out.
When she came to Jiang Yunlan's yard, Jiang Yunlan was looking at several books of accounts. As soon as she came, her eyes brightened. She pushed the account books aside and rushed to pull her.
"Ah Nuan, my mother has been counting the days recently, only to find that your birthday is coming." Jiang Yunlan said: "this year, there are only three of us in our Ning family. The old lady certainly doesn't want to come out. Your brother can't come back in Qingzhou again. I'm afraid he even forgot your birthday, but he wronged you."
"Mother, there is no injustice here."
Jiang Yunlan said: "my mother thought well, you must make a big deal of this birthday. My mother wants to let..."
Before she finished her words, she was quickly pulled by Ning Nuan: "Niang, keep your voice down."
Jiang Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and the excitement on her face faded again.
Because of the corruption case, the emperor is very angry. Nowadays, the officials in the whole capital are trying to keep a low profile. They are very frugal in their daily life. No one dares to waste extravagantly. If they really want to make a big deal of ningnuan's birthday, I'm afraid ningyanting will be given a copy of ginseng.
She was suddenly disappointed: "ah Nuan, wronged you again."
"Niang, how did you live in the past years? How about this year?"
"That's not good. I can't treat you badly." Jiang Yunlan said: "you can't invite people to come here. Your mother will do it secretly in our house. Your brother can't come back. Your father and I are still here. There are many people in our house. We can't let your birthday pass by so easily."
Jiang Yunlan can complain.
Her birthday of a'nuan was not well done in Ning family, and even not as good as Ning Qing. On the contrary, after getting married, she went to Lord an's house. When king an gave ah Nuan his birthday, the whole capital was aware of the noise. Don't mention the excitement. The water table outside Lord an's house was set for three days and three nights, but I didn't know that it was a happy event.
She can't be better than anwang, can she?
However, this year's situation is special, no matter how many ideas she can only hold in her stomach.
Jiang Yunlan felt aggrieved.
She took Ning warm's hand and solemnly said, "ah Nuan, don't worry, your mother will let you have a happy birthday this time."
Seeing her full of enthusiasm, Ning warm can only respond.
On the other hand, chufei thought about it.
He called Wang Quan and asked, "Miss Ning doesn't want to see the king, and the Ning family certainly doesn't want to let me in. Now she hasn't entered the palace, and she doesn't want to accept the gifts from me. How should Ben Wang spend her birthday?"
Wang Quan said bitterly: "Lord, I can't believe it."
Chu Fei pondered: "this is the first time for her birthday, can't we be too low-key?"
"Lord, the emperor is looking at it. If you keep a high profile, the censor will file a complaint tomorrow. You don't want your reputation?" Wang Quan reminded: "you have been in the palace for so long. Outsiders all know that you care for the people, share the worries for the emperor, and lead a hard life."
Chu Fei sighed and felt that the task was heavy and the road was far away.
