Chapter Forty-Two: Delusion

It was a pity that she was a girl and was destined to be unable to go out. Even if she went out, she would not be able to communicate with those missionaries. But she really didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Qianshan, so she looked up at Ning Cheshou and smiled.

: "Second brother, don't you know those missionaries?"

Ning Cheshou waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Come on, except for the Third Young Master who is in a hurry and seeks medical treatment, who in the capital wants to deal with those people with blue eyes and yellow hair? Looking at them all like monsters, do you think the Ministry of Rites

Why are the officials unwilling to go? Isn't it because they don't want to talk to these monsters? However, the power of the Celestial Empire cannot be reduced, so the officials have no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with these monsters.

Ning Xianbi sighed. As a person of two generations, she already knew that this era was more developed than the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, although the country was considered peaceful and the people were peaceful, the two powerful countries in the north and west, the Jinyue Kingdom and the Ningxia Kingdom, were not.

The Daqing Dynasty was always facing powerful threats, and wars occurred from time to time. The reason why Ning Derong was separated from his family since he was a child was because when the old man of the Ning family was guarding the border, he had to order a temporary retreat because the enemy was about to break the city.

Waiting for reinforcements. As a result, reinforcements arrived a day later. The old man of the Ning family led his people to recapture the city after more than ten days of bloody fighting. Unfortunately, the child was never found again.

Now that the three countries are standing on a stand, no one dares to start a war, for fear that both sides will suffer losses and the other country will benefit. Therefore, both sides signed an armistice and peace agreement. However, everyone knows that this is just an agreement on the surface. It needs to be

When it happens, if you tear it up casually, the agreement will become useless paper.

It is because of this that although the Daqing Dynasty was developed, the people were relatively xenophobic and were far less receptive to foreign things than the Qing Dynasty. Maritime trade only emerged in the past two years, but merchants went overseas to take risks for money.

It was still a small number, so that most of them relied on goods brought by cargo ships from other countries, and because those merchant ships were controlled by the royal family, as soon as those rare foreign goods arrived on land, they were controlled by the royal agencies arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs everywhere.

After being bought and sold, most of these goods were sent to the palace as tribute, and then given to noble officials from the palace, so almost none of them were circulated among the people.

Thinking of these situations, Ning Xianbi couldn't help but look at her second brother sadly. Now it seemed that she would never be able to get a set of glassware without going through those missionaries. Even if she begged these brothers to get all the nooks and crannies in the capital,

I searched everywhere but couldn't find any glass shards.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Ning Cheshou say with a smile: "How about it? Do you want me to go talk to the Third Young Master? What does my sister like? The Third Young Master is grateful to you and the Third Grandpa for saving the eldest princess that day, and will definitely not refuse."

of."

"That's all, thank you for your kindness, big brother. Just treat this as my sister and have never said anything about it." Ning Xianbi sighed, and heard Mrs. Jiang calling her again, so she nodded to Ning Cheshou and went back.

Next to the old lady, the bottle of fragrant dew was naturally dedicated to the old lady as a token of filial piety.

After coming out of Ningxinyuan and returning to Baishaoyuan, Mrs. Yu said to Ning Xianbi: "Why are you so lonely today? The sisters all said that Xianglu, but you are indifferent. After all, the Third Young Master is giving this to you.

How come you don’t even feel the slightest sense of gratitude for the gift of thanks? This is too rude. If this reaches the ears of the Third Young Master, what will he think of you?"

Ning Xianbi could think whatever she wanted about love. It would be best to think of me as the worst and most ignorant person in the world, but she calmly agreed on her face. Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter, couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, and suddenly heard Lan

The aunt smiled and said: "Madam, why are you worried? Didn't you see clearly earlier? When the maid and concubine heard what the eldest wife and the second wife said, they just felt funny in their hearts. It was in vain that one of them was commissioned and the other was the head of the family, but they could still see clearly.

It’s not as transparent as the third wife.”

Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "This is also human nature. Although I am self-aware, I just saw that the Third Young Master and Shaoyao get along quite harmoniously. Although they are both children, if they get close..." At this point, he couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"That's all. I know it's just wishful thinking, but why can't I let it go? Now I don't see it as clearly as you do."

Aunt Lan murmured: "It's not that I can see through it. It's just that I see that the sixth girl has an idea and is not very enthusiastic about the third son. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings and fate.

Even if you try to tear it apart, you can’t take it apart. If you don’t have fate, you can’t get it even if you force yourself to do it.”

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "That's exactly what you said. Well, I've been busy this afternoon and I'm a little hungry. You can ask someone to go to the study to ask the master. If he doesn't come back for dinner, let's let the kitchen prepare food."

"After saying that, Aunt Lan agreed and went away.

This was just a small episode, but the consequences it caused made Ning Xianbi extremely troubled.

"Sixth sister, what kind of medicinal material is this? Why does it look so familiar?"

Xinglin Garden is no longer as clean as before. Ning Xianyue, Ning Xianyu, Ning Xianluo, and Bai Caizhi are all gathered here. Except for Ning Xianmei, who went back to her room to be a maid after school, the other girls

They're all here.

"Dandelion is what we call Granny Ding."

Ning Xianbi answered lazily, wondering if you could forgive me? If he wanted to see Shen Qianshan, he could directly ask his brothers to take him to the Clan Academy or to the old lady. It was all justified, so why bother?

Crowding in my Xinglin Garden, looking forward to meeting each other by chance? Does this allow me and Third Grandpa to make medicine?

Ning Derong also saw Ning Xianbi's impatient look. These girls have been coming here after school for three consecutive days. The old man has become mature, how can he not understand such little thoughts? He also felt funny in his heart,

Secretly, do girls who are so young also like to talk to good boys?

Although he thought so, the old man didn't think anything of it. However, these girls were not like Ning Xianbi, who came here because they were interested in medicine. Therefore, when they came here, they walked around and only saw Ning Derong.

The herbs in the house were also messed up a lot, which the old man couldn't bear.

At this time, I happened to hear Ning Xianyue asking Ning Xianbi. After hearing her answer lazily, the little girl pouted and said, "Why is the sixth sister so out of energy right now? This is how she deals with us.

Are you feeling listless even when you are here with Third Grandpa?"

After hearing this, Ning Derong felt secretly amused in his heart. He shook his head behind the table, thought for a while, and waved: "Come here, girls. Since you are curious about these medicinal materials, I will have a good talk with you."
