Chapter 40 Glass

  It seems that a way must be thought of to make some inquiries. Ning Fengbi made up her mind, looked at the glass bottle, and her gaze became complicated again: this was that damned Shen Qianshan's thing, it should be thrown away by reason, but... glass, she still needs to rely on this bottle to investigate.

  She finally put the bottle in the drawer: never mind, let this thing have a "life" first, and throw it away immediately after squeezing out its useful value. She arranged the ending of this perfume very ruthlessly in her heart.

  Ning De Rong returned before dusk, seeing Ning Xian Bi was about to go out, he smiled and said: "Hurry back, it's time for you to pay respects to your grandmother. I just came from Ning Xin Yuan, your aunt and several sisters are all there."

  Ning Xiabi responded with a sound, and said to Ning Derong: "Third Master, the heat-relieving medicine you gave to the Wang family has been taken away by their people today." After finishing, Ning Derong opened the cabinet and took a look, nodding his head: "That's right, it was those two bottles of medicine. It's good that they've been taken away, otherwise I would have had to find some time to deliver them over the next few days."

  Ning Fengbi rolled her eyes and thought, "Is it really necessary? When did you old folks start currying favor with the powerful? Every time you mention Shen Qianshan, you look so delighted, as if he were your own grandson. I've never seen you show such enthusiasm for my brothers."

  To be honest, apart from the fact that I, a reborn and transmigrated cannon fodder, avoid Shen Qianshan like a snake or scorpion because of my prior knowledge of future events, that boy indeed has a kind of charm that makes people love him at first sight. It's no wonder Ning Derong likes him as if he were a precious egg.

  At the thought of this, Ning Xianbi couldn't help but want to immediately go home and train Xuan Ge into a more formidable child than Shen Qianshan, and not let that bastard completely steal the show.

  But thinking of Xuan Ge's silly appearance, and then thinking of the level of the guards in her own mansion, Ning Fibian's shoulders slumped, and she gave up on this very unrealistic idea.

  Upon arriving at Ning Xin Yuan, she indeed heard the faint sound of laughter and whispers. The maids saw her coming and quickly drew the curtains, smiling and saying: "Sixth Young Miss has arrived."

  Ning Xian nodded and entered the house, and after turning around the screen, she saw that everyone was looking at her. She went forward to pay respects to Old Lady Jiang, and then greeted Qu Furen, Yuan Shi, Ning Yulan, and others. Before she could even reach Yu Shi's side, she was pulled over by Ning Xianmei, who laughed and said: "Sixth sister is always invisible every day, it's not easy to meet her here at Old Lady's place, but you always go to Third Aunt's side. Can't you chat with us for a bit? Are you afraid that if you spend too much time with us, you'll become stupid and won't be able to understand medical books anymore?"

  One sentence made the other girls laugh too, and Old Lady Jiang, while chatting with Madame Qu, glanced over at them with a loving expression on her face, chuckling: "Seeing these kids so happy makes me feel like I'm ten years younger!"

  At this time, several brothers also came forward, but Ning Xianyu had already started talking about celebrating Bai Cai's birthday. Ning Xianbi only then understood that the laughter earlier was actually about this matter. She took a glance at Bai Cai, remembering that her birthday was on June 6th, and if they were to hold a celebration, it was indeed time to discuss the arrangements.

  Bai Cai Zhi's face turned red, and she smiled softly, saying: "It's all because of the love from my sisters and aunts that I'm so young, yet celebrating my birthday? Normally at home, it's just cooking some eggs and making a simple meal."

  After finishing, Ning heard Xianmei laugh and say: "This is your first birthday since coming to our house, how can you not make a big deal about it? You don't have to feel uneasy either. On that day, just accompany Old Lady, First Lady, Second Lady, Third Lady, and us sisters to watch a play for a day, and drink two cups of wine."

  Ning Xianyue smiled and said, "Second sister is right, little sister doesn't have to feel uneasy in her heart. This is just the first year, next year it won't be like this anymore. It will be just like our usual custom, sisters gathering together for a drink. At that time, don't feel uncomfortable in your heart."

  Bai Cai's face turned slightly red as she smiled and said, "Fifth sister, what are you talking about? I wouldn't be so foolish. This time, Mother had to persuade me repeatedly, but the old lady insisted on having it done. My heart is already very uneasy, if we have to do this a few more times in the future, I'll be too ashamed to live, how could I have such a thick face?"

  Ning Xianyu saw Ning Xianyue's nonchalant expression and was afraid she would still want to pick white fungus, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "White sister doesn't need to mind, Old Lady's favoritism towards you is justified. It's just that in this rush, the congratulatory gift needs to be prepared quickly, there are less than twenty days left. We can let it go, but I don't know what Sixth Sister wants to give, every day besides going to school, aren't you also going to Xinglin Garden to do medicinal herbs?

  What's going on? Is this conversation about me now? She thought to herself, her face slightly smiling as she was about to speak. Just then, a loud, hoarse voice burst out laughing and said: "Sixth sister, no need for you all to worry! If it really doesn't work out, just use the bottle of perfume that Third Master gave you today as a gift, that's enough to save face."

  The girls turned their heads to see that it was Ning Che An. This kid is thirteen years old this year and is in the midst of puberty, so his voice sounds like this. At this time, the boys except for Ning Che Yu had also gathered around, Bai Cai Zhi's gentle and beautiful appearance made people feel sorry for her at first sight, so these brothers were also concerned about her birthday.

  Ning Xi's face changed, and she felt annoyed in her heart. Although she knew that Ning Che An wasn't being intentional, he had brought up Shen Qian Shan, the person she disliked the most, and to make matters worse, he did it in front of these girls. Wasn't this just intentionally making things awkward for her?

  Just as he was about to speak, Ning Xianyue burst out laughing and said: "Third Master is here? What's going on? Did you give Sixth Sister something good? Take it out and let us see too! Third Brother mentioned perfume, could it be that kind of perfume that can occasionally be seen in the palace or at the homes of high-ranking officials? The kind that comes in small glass bottles?"

  Although this perfume was casually tossed out by Shen Qianshan, it was their family's after all. If it were other noble families, not to mention the Ning family's viscount residence, even the imperial palace would rarely see such a thing. Therefore, the girls' eyes lit up and they urged Ning Fenbi to take out that bottle one after another.

  "This commotion is quite big, immediately startling Old Lady Jiang and Madame Qu. Old Lady Jiang smiled and said: 'What are you talking about? Such a lively scene, also tell me so that I can enjoy it.'"

  As soon as the words fell, Ning Xianyue rushed over, holding her arm and smiling: "Grandma, Liu Meimei is so petty, Shen San Gongzi from Rui Qin Wangfu gave her a bottle of perfume, we just asked to take a look, she didn't even agree."

  Ning Xianruo and others also came over, smiling one after another: "Yes, yes, grandma will make the decision for us. It's just to take a look, not to rob Liu Mei of it. We've heard that several princesses from the Wang family said this thing is good. Before, we saw them take it out, and it was indeed exquisite. But I don't know if Liu Mei's is the same as theirs."
