Chapter 17
Ning Shu watched as his mother's originally relaxed expression gradually became serious as he talked, and finally became extremely dignified, even a bit cold.
Until Ning Shu finished speaking and took a sip of the tea next to her, his mother still had the same expression, which was completely different from her usual gentle and gentle appearance.
Ning Shu felt uneasy, looked at her and asked cautiously: "Mother, what's the matter? Is there any problem?"
Hearing Ning Shu's voice, Madam Ning came back to her senses. She looked at the youngest son next to her, stared at his beautiful and clear eyes, smiled softly, and quickly returned to her usual expression. Looking at him with such a gentle appearance, he said: "It's nothing, mother just thought of something."
Ning Shu rolled his eyes, looked at his mother and coaxed: "Mother, is there any conspiracy between Princess Jian'an and the crown prince?"
Madam Ning frowned, and said sharply: "What nonsense, you can say these things?"
Ning Shu felt a little unhappy when Madam Ning yelled at him like that. He pursed his lips and said unhappily: "Mom, how weird are they behaving? Of course I think they have a conspiracy, otherwise I wouldn't understand , why would they do this?"
Mrs. Ning also realized that her actions just now were a little too aggressive. Looking at her youngest son's aggrieved expression, she couldn't help sighing, and said to him, "I'm sorry, it's my mother's mistake. Mother shouldn't say that about you. It's just that After all, they are princes and princesses, you should not say these words in the future."
Feeling Madam Ning's soft attitude, Ning Shu still wanted to know the answer, "But mother, I still want to know, why did they do that?"
Mrs. Ning paused while serving the tea, then raised her eyes to look at her youngest son, but did not answer his words, instead she took a sip of the tea and said slowly:
"Son, it's not that mother doesn't want to tell you, it's just that mother doesn't know what they want to do. Maybe they all think my son is good-looking, so they fall in love with my son, so they just want to marry my son."
Madam Ning said so, and even had a smile on her face at the end.
Ning Shu scoffed at Mrs. Ning's words. Although he had a good skin, he knew how much he weighed himself, so he would definitely not attract such a person to fall in love with him at first sight.They are so active, there must be something they don't know.
Mrs. Ning didn't want to say much, and she moved away from the topic tactfully, "These are things prepared for your mother to marry you. You can choose a few. If you need them, use them on your wedding day; if you don't use them, I'll put it in a box for you and take it with you."
Originally, he didn't get the answer he wanted, so Ning Shu felt a little unhappy. Now that he heard that his mother was here to buy him a dowry, his mouth turned up as if he could hang an oil bottle, and his face was filled with dismay. look happy,
"Can't I not marry? How good it is for me to stay at home with you and dad every day. If you think I have no one to rely on in the future, just give me two of my brothers' children. I think my brothers and they should be very happy." of."
When Madam Ning heard this, she gave him a blank look, and said unceremoniously: "What nonsense are you talking about, what are you talking about? Let me tell you, don't have such perverted thoughts. I told you last time , whether you want to get married or not, you have to get married for me!"
After saying this, Mrs. Ning looked at the small expression on Ning Shu's face, and added as if thinking of something: "Of course, you don't have to marry someone else if you want to. You are engaged to King Jing now, you Just wait honestly to marry him."
Ning Shu was unhappy, but his mother stared at him covetously, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only reluctantly respond, "Oh, I see."
Now there are countless people watching him inside and outside the mansion, and it is impossible to escape.Moreover, he felt that even if he escaped successfully, he would not be able to survive outside without his belongings.
It would be great if the other party could take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
When Ning Shu thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, why didn't he think of it?Thinking back to King Jing he met today, he felt that he should not be unreasonable.Maybe if I make it clear to him, he will agree?
Madam Ning didn't know what was going on in Ning Shu's mind, she just saw that the spirit on his face suddenly improved, thinking that he had figured it out.
The expression on Mrs. Ning's face improved a bit, and she looked at him and comforted him: "Mother knows you don't want to, but brother will marry anyway. Then Jing Wang was carefully selected by parents for you, and he will treat you well. your."
Ning Shu was a little noncommittal to his mother's words, and her heart was changeable, how could his mother be sure that King Jing would always treat her well.
It's just that Ning Shu already had her own idea in mind, so she didn't continue to argue with his mother, but nodded and said perfunctorily: "Mother, you are right."
Mrs. Ning heard his tone a little strange, but she just glanced at him and didn't say much, she just asked the maids waiting beside them to bring the things in their hands, and then showed them to Ning Shu.
Those are some head and body decorations, all made of precious stones and gold, which look extremely rich.
Ning Shu just glanced at it, and was dazzled by those bright red and yellow eyes, and couldn't help complaining, "Mother, if I take these out, I must be the most shining kid on the street. Is it exaggerated?"
Upon hearing his words, Mrs. Ning patted him on the shoulder. After he suffered from the pain, she said slowly: "You child, these are all things for you to save face. What are you talking about?"
Ning Shu felt that he didn't need such an exaggerated thing to save face, but his mother seemed to care about it, so he didn't continue to confront her, so he could only swallow his anger and say: "Okay, it's fine if I look at it Yes, those with emeralds are good."
At least it doesn't look so pompous, he likes simple.
Hearing Ning Shu mentioning her preferences, Mrs. Ning hurriedly greeted those who were carrying emerald crafts, asked the maids around her to write them down, wrapped them up for Ning Shu, and then took out some others for Ning Shu Look, let him keep picking.
Just when Ning Shu was so unlovable, someone outside the door spread the word that Miss Cousin from the mansion had come.
Hearing that it was Luo Yan who came, Madam Ning quickly put down the things in her hands and asked someone to invite her in.
In less than a while, Miss Biao stepped into Ning Shu's room surrounded by maidservants.
The first time Luo Yan entered the door, what she saw was a pile of accessories that filled the entire room. Those accessories alone would be enough for a poor family to live for a year, but now they look like worthless things, piled up with this room.
As soon as Luo Yan came in, she was caught in the eyes by the things in the room, and she couldn't help but be a bit slow in her reaction. It was Mrs. Ning who was next to her who called her out, and she barely recovered.
"Xiaoyan, why are you here now?"
Luo Yan turned her head to look at Mrs. Ning, who was smiling and staring at her, blessed her body, and said in a warm voice: "Auntie, I made some rose desserts today, thinking that my cousin likes to eat the most, so I brought some Click here, I hope my cousin will like it."
Mrs. Ning looked at her with a gentle smile on her face, "You have a heart, you child. It's just right for you to come here now. Come and see for your cousin. These things are so beautiful. When the time comes, let your cousin take them as a dowry .”
When Luo Yan heard her words, the smile on her face remained the same, but her beautiful nails sank into her palms, and she said warmly: "The things my aunt prepares are naturally the best things, I think it's good to pick something that my cousin likes. "
When Madam Ning heard her words, she became more and more satisfied, "Your child is in my heart, and I think so too. When you get married, I will take care of it properly for you."
As if shy by Mrs. Ning's words, Luo Yan lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, it's still early, don't worry."
Madam Ning was even happier, she took her hand and patted it, and said in a gentle voice: "There is no rush, once your cousin Shu gets married, you should be almost ready."
However, Luo Yan seemed to be embarrassed by Mrs. Ning, she just buried her head and did not speak.
Madam Ning didn't make it difficult for her anymore, she let go of her hand and asked her to help choose.
During this process, Luo Yan evaded all these things and focused on Ning Shu's preferences, without interjecting too much.
However, Ning Shu was a little more satisfied with her arrival. After all, when she came, there was one more person to help him share the firepower of Mrs. Ning, which relieved him a lot of pressure.
In the end, after choosing for about an hour, Mrs. Ning finally picked out the things that Ning Shu would use when she got married, and she had successfully completed the task.
But Ning Shu looked at the happy Mrs. Ning, and felt relieved in his heart. Today, he once again experienced the hardship of shopping with his mother before.
In the end, Mrs. Ning happily asked the maids to put away the things that Ning Shu was looking forward to, and then picked out two gold hairpins to wrap them up, and handed them to Luo Yan who was standing next to her, and said to her: "Girl's house!" Those at home should dress up well, I think these two hairpins complement you, you can take them back and play with them!"
Luo Yan looked at the hairpin in her hand that Ning Shu picked out to give to her, a few traces of hatred flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and said: "Thank you, aunt, it's still good for me!"
Mrs. Ning patted her shoulder happily, and said softly, "It's as long as you're happy."
In the end, Mrs. Ning left with her servants first, picked out some nice accessories, and needed other nice clothes.She still has a lot of things to do, so she can't keep delaying here.
Seeing Madam Ning leave, Luo Yan also said goodbye to Ning Shu.
After returning to her own courtyard, Luo Yan threw the things in her hand aside, with a displeased look on her face, and a bit of disgust in her tone, "Just send me away with these things that other people don't want! "
When the maids in the room heard the young lady's behavior, they all lowered their heads, not daring to make the slightest movement.
