Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "No matter how boring it is, can it be boring than the master's reading of eight-part essays? Didn't you see the sad look on his face when he was doing the eight-part essays? It's really laughable." After finishing her words, Aunt Lan also covered her mouth.

Ning Xianbi started to chuckle. Ning Xianbi watched from the side and felt that she couldn't laugh or cry. She secretly said that it was unheard of for a wife and concubine to be so united. I have learned a lot.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the little girl Hua'er walking in. She said with confusion on her face: "Just now, I went to deliver snacks to the master, but I saw Sister Yudi went to the master's room. She said it was the old lady who was looking for her, but she didn't know there was anyone there.

what's up."

Mrs. Yu and Aunt Lan were also puzzled by the words, and Ning Xianbi was also thinking secretly in her heart. She thought it was strange that the old lady would not ask her father to tell her about letting her mother take care of the sewing room, right? What's more, her father was a bastard.

It seems that the old lady is not particularly affectionate and fond of her, and she can't compare to her two biological sons. Why is she thinking of calling her over to talk to her now? What's the reason?

Not to mention the secret speculations in Yu's Aunt Lan and Ning Xianbi's mind, Ning Shibo was also in a state of shock and uncertainty on the way to Ningxinyuan.

As the matron of the house, Mrs. Jiang is very competent. Although she does not value her bastard as much as her two biological sons, this is also human nature.

Compared with those stories about the aunt's mother harming the bastard's son that were often reported in wealthy families, Ning Shibo was really grateful to this aunt's mother.

From the day she was born, this aunt treated her the same as her two sons. No matter whether she really liked it or not, she never deprived her of food and clothing, let alone beat or scolded her harshly. Compared with those who lived in the shadow of her aunt,

As a bastard who grew up, he was really very lucky.

Because he felt a little uneasy right now, he thought carefully about whether he had done anything out of the ordinary these days. When he arrived at Ningxin Courtyard, he saw several little girls looking at him and smiling. He coughed, and happened to see Ying Ying.

Ge came out, walked up to her and whispered, "Sister Yingge, how is the old lady feeling?"

Yingge smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Third, the old lady is in a good mood. I don't think she wants to scold you."

Ning Shibo chuckled, but couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his heart: His biological mother died young, and he grew up in the hands of his aunt mother. Growing up, he watched his aunt mother discipline the two brothers very harshly, but she was very strict with herself.

But it was very relaxed. In the past, he thought it was because his aunt was doting on him, but when he got older, he realized that it was just because he was not his biological mother and son, but because the old lady didn't want to care about him, or because she was afraid that people would say she treated her bastard harshly.

layer.

Sometimes, he also hoped that his aunt would discipline him like she disciplined his two brothers, so he had been loose and loose since he was a child, not having the magnanimity of a wealthy young man. However, after getting angry a few times, he finally recognized the reality.

So I lived in such a muddle from now on. Although it seems now that fools are blessed, it is good to be so carefree. However, the regret in my heart cannot be deceived by myself, and it is impossible to deceive myself as time goes by.

Dissipate slowly.

While thinking about it, he entered the room and saw Mrs. Jiang sitting on the Arhat bed. Seeing him come in, she pointed to the chair on the ground and said, "Sit down."

"Yes, I wonder what the mother wants to tell her son when she calls him here?"

Ning Shibo sat down respectfully, thinking in his heart, but saw Old Mrs. Jiang looking at him, looking at him carefully, and then sighed: "You are also twenty-eight this year, right?

"

Ning Shibo didn't know why he suddenly mentioned his age. He quickly leaned forward and said, "Yes, my son will be twenty-eight years old after this year. Why did my mother suddenly think of this?"

Mrs. Jiang slowly moved the tea cup in her hand and murmured: "Twenty-eight...even the third child is twenty-eight. Time flies so fast. I am getting old after all."

When Ning Shibo heard the word "Lao San", his nose felt sour and he almost shed tears. He quickly stood up and said with a smile: "How old is our ancestor? He hasn't even passed his sixtieth birthday yet. A few days ago, the Marquis of Jinxiang

The old lady in our house celebrated her 70th birthday, and my son looked at how good she looked. Our house has always been close to them, and my son remembered that when she was as old as the old lady, she was not as healthy as the old lady. I want to come to the old lady.

When he is seventy years old, he will be many times tougher than her, so how can he be called old?"

Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses, smiled slightly and said: "Stop talking nonsense, you have always been different from those servants. Although they are all willing to get close to you because of this, you are the master after all, so you are so humble.

It shouldn’t be too confusing and make people laugh.”

Ning Shibo quickly agreed and heard Mrs. Jiang say: "Sit down, don't be restrained. I asked you to come here just to ask you what your plans are for your future? Are you planning to live in such a state of confusion for the rest of your life?"

As soon as Ning Shibo's butt touched the chair, he heard Mrs. Jiang's words. He was so shocked that he even forgot the rules. He only raised his head and looked at Mrs. Jiang and said: "Mother... mother

..." Because my heart was so agitated, my voice actually choked with sobs.

Mrs. Jiang carefully looked at her son's face. Ning Shipo's appearance was considered to be outstanding, much like the courtesan he bought from the Jiangnan water town.

Because of this, Mrs. Jiang has always been unhappy in her heart. However, up to now, although Brother Xuan is a beautiful child, he also follows Aunt Lan. Ning Xianbi has a commendable filial heart and a good personality, but only looks.

But she followed the Yu family. Although she was also beautiful, because her sisters were all beauties, she didn't seem to be extraordinary.

Twenty-eight years have passed, and times have changed. Even that extremely gorgeous woman has turned into a handful of bones. My children are grown up, and I am old. Why do I still care about these things?

Seeing Ning Shibo's moved look, Mrs. Jiang sighed in her heart and said softly: "Now that your eldest brother has inherited the title, don't worry about it. Although your second brother cannot study well, he still takes care of the land and things at home.

Business is also multifaceted, and it will naturally have its own destiny in the future. You are the only one who can't do anything without being a civil servant, alas! This is because I neglected to discipline you in the past, and finally developed your lazy temperament today. But now,

Your two children have grown up slowly. As a father, do you want to continue to be so ignorant? Don't you want to become a seven-foot man who your wife and children can rely on, earn their own share of the family business, and stand upright? "

Every word Mrs. Jiang said was like a heavy hammer hitting Ning Shibo's heart. While she was excited, her face was flushed with embarrassment. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say. She just said:

:"Mother……"
