Chapter Thirty Entering the Mansion
He finished speaking, and only then did he see that the cart was already full of medicinal herbs in a big basket. He walked over to examine them, chuckling: "You picked all these? You're quite capable! Hmm? Where's Old Man Ning? Why isn't he here?"
The little servant saw Ning Xi not speaking, and also saw Shen Qianshan's extraordinary attire, so he didn't dare to be slow. He quickly stood up and smiled: "Our old master has gone up the mountain to pick herbs, let the young lady wait here."
Shen Qianshan nodded and said, "So that's how it is." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ning Fengbi, smiling and saying, "Why aren't you talking? Won't you be scared silly? Don't worry, this isn't a venomous snake. Our northern region has few venomous snakes. Even if you're bitten by it, it's no big deal."
Ning Fengbi looked at Shen Qianshan's smile, and her heart was filled with a mix of emotions. The words "thank you" rolled around on the tip of her tongue several times before she finally managed to squeeze them out in a barely audible hum, like a mosquito buzzing. It was also because Shen Qianshan had been practicing martial arts since he was a child that his hearing was exceptionally keen; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
At this time, he burst out laughing and shook his head, saying: "You've always been fierce, how come you're so shy now? Isn't it the same as when you made Ning Lao's medicinal mud into a little pig?"
She glared at him fiercely, then turned her head away and ignored him: Heaven is really ridiculous. In the previous life, she secretly admired this man, loved him so much that even if she died for him, she would be willing to do so. However, the other party was too lazy to look at herself with a straight eye. In this life, she tried her best to avoid him, but he always appeared in front of her and even took the initiative to talk to her. Where did Shen Qianshan's pride and nobility go? Was it eaten by a dog?
Just then, a voice laughed and said: "The third young master's riding skills are indeed superb, but it's too unkind to shake us off like this. When you go back, tell the adults to see if they will scold you."
Shen Qianshan turned his head and saw several guards riding horses rushing towards him. He couldn't help but chuckle and say, "These guys, they caught up so quickly."
"After finishing speaking with Ning Xi, he said: 'I'm going back.' Then in a few steps, he arrived at the side of a sorrel horse standing in the middle of the road. With one leg raised, he turned around and was already sitting on the back of that big horse. His movements were so swift and smooth that it was almost impossible to see."
But then he untied two pheasants and a yellow sheep from the horse's back and threw them over, chuckling: "Miss, you've had a fright today, take these two chickens back to make some soup to nourish yourself." Having said that, he urged his horse on, and the chestnut horse was like a red cloud, leaving in a whirl of dust. From afar, Shen Qianshan's loud laughter could still be heard: "Go back and tell those brothers, I haven't forgotten the appointment at De Shun Tower, I'll go find them in a few days."
Ning Fengbi watched as the dozen or so figures disappeared like shooting stars, the guards on horseback were all agile men, but in terms of momentum and skill, they were all surpassed by Shen Qianshan, a boy not yet ten years old.
It is said that since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes. Such a young hero, with a prominent family background and outstanding appearance, which girl can resist? Wasn't it also the case for myself in my previous life, being attracted by his rumors and appearance, foolishly tying my heart to him without realizing it?
Her gaze gradually turned cold, Ning Xi tightly clenched her fists: In this life, she would never be so foolish again. No matter how outstanding Shen Qianshan was, he had nothing to do with her anymore. She was herself, and he was himself; their relationship was simply that they went their separate ways - you walked your own path, I crossed my own bridge. She wouldn't allow herself to have any further involvement with this man.
"Miss, who is that man? He looks quite impressive." The young servant withdrew his gaze from afar, his eyes filled with admiration.
Ning Xi looked at him for a moment without speaking, then turned and got into the carriage: It was extremely good, but she didn't want to see the gaze of adoration from her little servant.
No matter how unwelcome Ning Fengbi was towards Bai Caiqi's arrival, the mother and daughter of Ning Yulan finally entered the capital.
On the afternoon of April 30th, Ning Fengbi and several sisters were writing large characters in the school hall. In front of them, Tan Cheng was reading a book with great concentration, but he also occasionally looked up to supervise the students in front of him.
Just then, only to see the young girl Fang'er walking in beside Old Lady Jiang, first bowing to Tan Cheng, then smiling and saying: "Sir, our family's Second Mistress and Cousin have arrived. The old lady said that today the girls will study up to this point, and tomorrow they can take a day off, accompany Cousin for a stroll around the mansion, and come back to school the day after tomorrow."
Tan Cheng nodded and said to the girls below, "Did you all hear that? Disperse!" After finishing, he smiled and put away the book in his hand: Hmm, this job is easy and profitable, it's really not bad. It seems that I will have to invite Shi Bo to drink a toast.
It's said that Ning Yulan and her mother have arrived, and several girls can't help but get excited. Although there is some hidden hostility towards this cousin in their hearts, after all, they are relatives. Life in the mansion has been dull day after day, now with a new sister to play with every day, it's not a bad thing at all.
So the young ladies all stepped quickly towards Ning Xiangyuan. Only Ning Fengbi had a heavy heart, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Ning Fengmei: "I just remembered that I dried some medicine in the apricot forest today and left it on the windowsill at the back. Now I'm afraid Third Master will be looking for me. Tell Sister and Old Lady, I'll be right there."
Before he could even react, his arm was grabbed by Ning Xianyue, who laughed and said: "Third Master, where would you be at this hour? Of course, you must have gone to the Ning Xin courtyard. You really don't know what fear is, do you think Auntie is a tigress? Even if she were a tigress, she wouldn't dare eat us."
Everyone burst out laughing at what was said. Ning Fengbi also found it amusing and thought to herself, "What's wrong with me? Am I still afraid of her? Sooner or later, I'll have to face her anyway. Even if she's annoying, can I avoid seeing her? This is a good opportunity to cultivate my willpower. Not only do I need to face her, but also genuinely smile and let her know that I welcome her with an open heart. Hehe! Isn't it just pretending to be close? Who can't do that?
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Ning Xin Yuan. As soon as they reached the door, they heard the joyful laughter and chatter coming from inside. Ning Xianyu, Ning Xiayue, and others couldn't help but slightly purse their lips. Ning Xibei also took a deep breath, for whenever she thought of Bai Caizhi's ruthless and venomous expression in her past life, she felt that she simply couldn't face her calmly.
The little maids lifted the curtain and shouted loudly: "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, seventh sister has arrived." This scene made Ning Fengbi involuntarily think of Dream of the Red Chamber, but in Dream of the Red Chamber, when Daiyu entered the mansion, there were only three sisters. And Bai Caizhi was not Lin Meimei, who was kind-hearted and humble.
