Mrs. Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "In that case, go report to the eldest lady, give her a dozen blows, fire her from her job, and drive her out of the house." After saying this, Aunt Lan agreed and left.

Ning Xianbi also knew about this, because Mrs. Jiang was about to arrive, and a batch of embroidery work was rushed to the house. These things were just for the occasion. In previous years, they were just a formality to watch the excitement. Mrs. Yu is serious, and this year she asked Lan

Auntie took inventory and discovered that two pieces of embroidery were missing. When Mrs. Yu and Auntie Lan went out two days ago, they accidentally saw these two pieces of embroidery being sold out in a store. Auntie Lan was careful and recognized that they were from the house.

The people in the sewing room were doing embroidery work, and they saw that the two embroidery pieces were exactly the ones that were missing, "Red Plum Blossoms in Spring" and "Magpies Climbing the Branches", so they told Mrs. Yu, who bought it calmly and came back.

I ordered Aunt Lan to conduct a thorough investigation, and now it seems that the truth has been revealed.

After a while, Aunt Lan came back and reported to Mrs. Yu: "The eldest lady said that she handled it very well. Is there still a shortage of people in our sewing room? If there is a shortage, she will send the housekeeper out tomorrow to find an honest and reliable person.

Yes, let’s see if we do odd jobs or buy people from the mansion, it doesn’t matter. If there is no shortage, we can wait until the mansion buys people again in a while and get them together.”

Mrs. Yu said: "The old lady's birthday is one month away. These people are enough. You can send someone to tell the eldest lady that it will be done just by waiting for a while."

Aunt Lan agreed and went out to tell the girl Luzhi beside her to go to Qingbo Courtyard to send a message to Aunt Jiang again. She heard her smile and said: "I have watched you with cold eyes for the past two years. You are your wife."

You have a right-hand man. It’s rare to be so smart and shrewd in doing things without being arrogant or arrogant. This time I came back from the south. I also selected some good materials for you and Brother Xuan. Wait and see if you like it."

Aunt Lan hurriedly laughed and said: "My concubine is so flattering. I don't dare to be a concubine. Brother Xuan and my concubine have plenty of clothes to wear. Why bother to spend money?" After saying this, Mrs. Yu laughed and said: "You can take it if it's given to you.

, even Shaoyao and I have it. This is because of the relationship between relatives, otherwise their family would not be able to do so. Now that we know that we have money, if we come back empty-handed, even I will feel uncomfortable. Let alone you. "

Aunt Jiang couldn't help but laugh after saying a few words. A few people said a few more words, and looking at the sunset, Mrs. Yu stood up and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go to the old lady's room. The old lady is busy these days."

I’m thinking that my sister will come back and play small cards with me.”

Aunt Jiang smiled and said: "That's right. I wanted to go there first when I came back, and I heard that the third old lady was there, so I came here first. Knowing that the old lady likes the small sign with paintings of mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, I asked the old lady this time.

My brother went out and carefully searched for a few items, and bought ten pairs of each item."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "Sister, this is what people love. The old lady has never lacked anything in her life, but she is happy that she can take care of it." As she said that, she came to Ningxinyuan. Mrs. Jiang saw it.

Aunt Jiang was indeed very happy when she came back. She ordered the kitchen to add some temporary dishes and set up a banquet for Aunt Jiang to welcome her. It was a lively scene.

There was nothing to say all night. When she got up the next morning, Ning Xianbi freshened up and greeted Mrs. Yu before entering the clan school. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her sisters talking around Ning Xianmei. She couldn't help but feel

Somewhat strange.

When Bai Caizhi saw her coming in, she stood up and said with a smile: "The news this morning is that the date of the draft has been set. In ten days, the second sister will enter the preliminary election of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Since today was Mrs. Jiang's fasting day, there was no need for them to pay her respects. Ning Xianbi didn't know the news yet, so she was shocked after hearing it. She looked at Ning Xianmei blankly, but didn't know what to say.

"Look at you, this is a happy thing. The sisters are here to congratulate the second sister. Why does the sixth sister look like this?" Ning Xianyu saw that Ning Xianbi was a little distracted, so she couldn't help but joked, which contained a hidden meaning.

There was a hint of provocation, but no one cared about it at this time.

"Although I already knew that this year was the draft period, the second sister would definitely apply for the draft, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. The sisters have been together for so many years, and now no matter what the result of the draft is, the second sister will probably leave the house soon.

, so I felt a little reluctant to let go." Ning Xianbi murmured an explanation, but this was her sincere words.

Ning Xianmei is steady and dignified, soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Getting along with her really makes people feel like a spring breeze. Perhaps it is because the age difference is so big that she doesn’t have to fight with her sisters. She does her best towards her sisters.

The responsibility of a sister, even Ning Xianbi, who has a cold temperament, feels reluctant to give up when she thinks of her entering the palace or getting married.

Just for Ning Xianbi to say this, the other girls looked a little confused. Ning Xianyue said angrily: "Sixth sister usually has the coldest temper, and she doesn't have much to say to the sisters. Now,

My son has developed a heart of reluctance, which makes us all look ruthless and unjust."

Ning Xianbi did not answer, Ning Xianmei smiled softly and said: "It is the fourth sister who is chatty, why do you say these words so sharply? The sixth sister is reluctant to let go, you are happy for me, this is all sisterly love, but

They are just different, so do they have to be distinguished? Not to mention the heart-wrenching theory of being ruthless and unjust."

Ning Xianyue muttered: "Yes, the second sister is used to helping her, no wonder the sixth sister can't let you go." After saying that, Bai Caizhi smoothed things over and said: "That's it, sisters, don't talk about this topic, but think about it, second sister

My sister will soon become someone else’s family, have you prepared the congratulatory gifts for your sisters?”

Ning Xianluo smiled and said: "I have prepared several colors of needle and thread, but I haven't finished the embroidery yet. Second sister, you know that I am stupid and my hands are clumsy. Don't dislike my sister when the time comes. Even though I can't embroider well,

I also share my sister’s heart.”

Ning Xianmei smiled and said: "That's very pitiful. All I care about is your thoughts. If we want to be good, isn't there anyone in our sewing room?"

As soon as the topic was brought up, everyone became interested again. Ning Xianqiao stamped her feet and said anxiously: "Oh, you are all prepared, but I...I am not prepared yet. Why are you so anxious? The primary election will be in ten days, and there is still time."

We have to go through final selection and so on, why can’t we go out for a few months..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was glared at by Ning Xianmei and heard her whisper: "What nonsense are you talking about? You should say this when you go out? Okay, everyone, please stop worrying about my affairs. Sir, come quickly."

It’s over.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the hourglass in front of the school and couldn't help but stick out their tongues. They scattered back to their seats and sat down. Before they could sit down, they heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention, but they were secretly surprised in their hearts. They thought that they had never heard of any powerful family nearby who wanted to marry their daughter away or marry a wife at home. Besides, how could anyone start setting off firecrackers at this hour? If

It's even more ridiculous to say which shop is opening. The people living nearby are rich and powerful, and the merchants don't even have the qualifications to establish themselves, let alone open a shop.

However, the strange things didn't stop there. After waiting for a while, the sound of firecrackers not only did not stop, but became louder and louder. It seemed that more people started to set off firecrackers. If it weren't for hearing the sound one after another, Ning Xianbi would still have heard the sound.

I really wonder if a factory that makes firecrackers and fireworks exploded, which is why it goes on like this.

After a while, it seemed that firecrackers were going off even in the neighbors and in the front yard of their own house. Moreover, the husband hadn’t entered the door yet. The girls couldn’t sit still. They went out one after another and looked around. They saw

Not far away, in the courtyard where the boys went to school, people came out one after another, and a few figures even ran out.

"What's going on?" Ning Xianmei frowned slightly, looked at the sisters beside her, and asked to herself.

Ning Xianbi was also surprised. She secretly thought that this life was indeed different from the previous life. At this time in the previous life, nothing seemed to have happened that required the whole city to set off firecrackers to celebrate. Only when Shen Qianshan returned in triumph was the Ministry of War dispatched

The government officials spread the word everywhere, and the whole city set off firecrackers to celebrate...

As soon as she thought of this, her eyes widened suddenly, thinking, right? That guy has only been to the border for nearly two months. In the last life, he came back after a year. Could it be that he is here now in this life?

Are you back? How can you return in triumph so quickly? The blitzkrieg is not so evil, right?

Everyone was talking in a low voice. Although they didn't know what was going on, so many people set off firecrackers, so they knew it must be a good thing. After a while, they saw a few people who had run out before running back again. When they got to the crowd, they didn't know what to say.

Something happened, and the crowd became excited.

The girls of the Ning family were very anxious for a long time. Fortunately, Ning Chebao probably knew that the sisters were impatient, so he ran over in person and said with a smile: "The news of the great victory came from the border this morning. The emperor was very happy.

After the court, the Ministry of War was ordered to inform the whole city, so the people set off firecrackers to celebrate."

"A great victory?"

The eyes of Ning Xianyue, Ning Xianyu, Bai Caizhi and others all lit up. Ning Xianyue even grabbed her brother's hand and said anxiously: "How can we achieve a great victory? Jinyue's side has withdrawn its troops?"

Ning Chebao smiled and said: "How can it be so easy? If it were so easy, the defenders would not have retreated three hundred miles." After saying that, seeing Ning Xianyue's disappointed expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "

But this time, Brother Shen...oh, Third Young Master has made great contributions..."

Before they could finish speaking, the eyes of several girls were already shining brighter. Ning Xianyu also grabbed her brother's arm and said nervously: "The third young master has also made meritorious service? He is only ten years old and is just a baby. He can...

...What kind of merit can you achieve? Are you... just listening to people’s nonsense?"

Ning Chebao said angrily: "What nonsense? Can the official document of the Ministry of War inform the world be nonsense? This time it is true. The third son led a team of cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night, burned the grain granary of the Jinyue Tatars, and then brought

The soldiers killed more than three thousand enemies and returned to the camp."

As soon as the words fell, several girls screamed excitedly. Either they heard it with their own ears or the Ministry of War told the world, they would never have imagined that that ten-year-old boy could really do such an earth-shattering thing. Thinking of Shen Qianshan's eyebrows With such a flying look, there is already something in the girls' hearts that is ready to break ground.
