The hidden silver under the pear tree, the dog hole in the backyard, and the woodshed door that suddenly opened that day were all the few lights left in Tang Ning's days that were filled with despair and were like the abyss of hell.
Although she didn't escape in the end, the little girl in front of her still deserved the best.
Tang Ning touched Xue Ru's head: "Sister, I hope you are happy and don't wrong yourself for anyone or anything."
Xue Ru met Tang Ning's eyes, which were filled with her own reflection, full of concern and sincerity. Her eye circles couldn't help but turn red. She hugged Tang Ning's arm and buried her head in the side of her neck, speaking in a muffled voice: "Why is my sister so nice to me?"
Obviously she has nothing.
We were never too close in the past.
She has understood since she was a child that there will be no good things in this world for no reason, even if she is related by blood. However, her sister picked her up from the mud of the Song family, took good care of her, sought medical advice for her, and helped her. She got rid of the past, taught her to read and study, and transformed her into something she never dared to dream of.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming. There are so many people in the world, why is my sister only being nice to me?"
Tang Ning said: "Probably because you hurt me in my previous life."
Xue Ru said "Huh?", raised her head and her eyes turned red like rabbits.
Tang Ning said seriously: "I owe you this."
Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but pout: "Sister, you're teasing me again. If you owe me, then I will pester you for the rest of my life and make you feel annoyed when you see me!"
Tang Ning didn't tell her, he just pinched her cheek and laughed.
When Xue Ru saw this, she just thought Tang Ning was joking with her. She didn't ask any more questions. She just tilted her head and leaned on Tang Ning's shoulder, teasing her like a baby. Anyway, she would always remember how kind her sister was to her. She I also like my sister the most. As long as I can help my sister, she is willing to do anything I ask her to do!
…
When the carriage swayed back to Jiuyun Lane, the two sisters had forgotten about the Cui family's marriage proposal. When they returned to Tang Mansion, they saw the carriage parked in front of the door and many boxes in the yard.
"What are you doing?" Tang Ning wondered after walking in.
"Girl, you are back." Hua Wu stood in front of the flower hall. He saw Tang Ning and the others trotting out quickly, and saluted Xue Ru: "Ms. Ru."
Xue Ru nodded and stared at the boxes with curiosity: "Hua Wu, why are there so many things in the house?"
Hua Wu shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know. It seems that someone came here specially to give it to the girl. It was the head of the Gu family who took it."
Xue Ru turned around and said, "Sister, wouldn't the Cui family send their collection of books to the house?"
"Probably not."
Tang Ning shook his head. The book collections of those families were more than just a few boxes. Moreover, the aristocratic family was forced to "give away" books.
Reluctantly, those people would naturally not let go of the opportunity to gain some good reputation for themselves. She and her brother promised Liang Guangyi to allow them to send books to the academy themselves, saying that they sympathized with the students and did not provide financial support. Of the academy.
The books from those families will definitely be sent directly to the academy. I want to beat gongs and drums along the way to let people know about it. If only a few people know about it when it is sent to Jiuyun Lane, wouldn't it be a waste of good reputation?
"uncle!"
When Tang Ning saw Gu Helian's figure appearing in the flower hall, she quickly called out.
Gu Helian turned around and saw them and said, "Are you back? Come here quickly."
After Tang Ning and the others passed by, Gu Helian pointed to the boxes on the ground and said, "I'm worried about where to put these things. The jades, ceramics, jewelry, and jewelry can be put in the warehouse, but it's not easy to place the ancient paintings and original books at will. , think about where you want to put it."
Tang Ning said: "Why did you bring something here again? There is no shortage in the house..."
"What are you thinking about? I won't give these to you even if I want to give them to you."
Gu Helian curled her lips in disdain: "These jade and ceramics are inedible and inappropriate for use. Those jewelry are also outdated. Looking at Jin Gui, you have such a beautiful face but you can't wear those old styles. If I want to give you these, I might as well give them to you." How many boxes of gold do you have, buy whatever you like."
"Among these things, only the two boxes of unique books and ancient paintings are of some interest. The rest are just like trash. They don't take up much space in the house."
Tang Ning: "..."
This nouveau riche tone as always makes people jealous.
She stepped forward and took a look: "Then who sent these?"
Gu Helian: "Over there at Prince Ji's Mansion."
Tang Ning was surprised when he heard this: "Why are they sending things here?"
"Who knows."
"..."
Tang Ning glared at him: "You don't know? Then you still accept it?!"
They had nothing in common with Prince Ji's Mansion. The only past they could barely talk about was a feud. Prince Ji's Mansion sent so many things inexplicably, but Gu Helian accepted them for no reason. He was not afraid of weasels giving New Year greetings to roosters.
What did he think? !
Tang Ning was speechless: "You didn't ask before you collected the things. Why are the people in Prince Ji's Mansion so unreliable? There has to be a name for suddenly giving things away, right?"
Gu Helian said: "How do I know? When I came here, I saw people from their palace blocking the outside. There is no one in charge in your palace. That girl from Huawu whispered that you had a grudge against the girl from Prince Ji's palace and wanted to kill people." Block out and don’t let in.”
"When I came, I casually asked them what they were doing. The people from Prince Ji's Mansion acted as if they were looking for a way out. They just said that they were here to congratulate you and Xiao Yan, and that it was an apology gift given to you by their prince on behalf of his wife and daughter. Then As if he was afraid that someone would reject him, he dropped his things and ran away.”
He was also in a daze at the time, and even after asking people to chase him, he failed to catch up with the people from Prince Ji's Mansion. Later, he and Mu Feng even used their old nose skills together to ask people to move the things in.
Gu Helian couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw Tang Ning frowning:
"It's such a shabby thing, just take it as long as you can. It's just that Prince Ji wants to please your family Xiao Yan when he sees that he is powerful."
"There are not many things here that are usable. I took a look and found a few good volumes. Those ancient paintings are also from famous artists. They will be suitable for hanging on the wall in the academy. If Prince Ji's Mansion talks about this matter, change it I'll give them two boxes of gold tomorrow to compensate them, but there won't be many valuables."
Tang Ning: "..."
Xue Ru: "..."
Xiao Yankankan, who came in from outside the door, heard this and saw that Gu Helian was talking about throwing two boxes of gold as if he were throwing two boxes of stones. His face was twisted for a moment.
Gu Helian didn't see anyone outside. She kicked the box next to her and complained in a low voice:
"But Prince Ji is a member of the royal family after all, so he is too poor. Doesn't he know that your Xiao Yan is looking for money everywhere? If you really want to apologize, why are you giving these rags? Give money, come on. For one hundred thousand, that guy Xiao Yan will definitely ignore the past grudges."
"A bunch of useless things are not too shabby."
Gu Helian curled her lips and looked unhappy.
Xiao Yan looked at the jeweled "junk things" all over the yard, his face became even more distorted, and Di Tao and General Fu who followed him from the side almost drew their swords.
Cao Dejiang gritted his teeth: Big dog!
How come this guy named Gu wasn't beaten to death?
