As soon as Ning Jiayin and the others arrived home, the thank-you gifts from the Duke Protector's Palace arrived. There were all kinds of jade, jewelry, medicinal materials, and satin fabrics. Of course, most of them were satin fabrics. The cart was full, and the old lady was shocked. It was not that she was surprised by the number of gifts. , is the thrill of being surprised by what Ning Jiayin did,
"Why are you so bold? What if the old lady's golden grandson is so valuable..." The old lady gently tapped Ning Jiayin's forehead with her index finger.
"Grandma, if I don't save it, the child will die immediately. I didn't think much of it at the time." Ning Jiayin explained.
Mrs. Liu looked at the old lady in a low voice; "The situation was indeed very dangerous at that time. Little Jin Sun had already rolled her eyes." Then she turned to Ning Jiayin: "She suddenly rushed past me. I was so frightened that I almost couldn't breathe. Who After she went back and forth a few times, the contents of her mouth came out, and little Jin Sun started crying."
Mrs. Liu still felt a little scared when she thought about the scene at that time.
"Okay, finally there is no danger. Don't rush in again next time. These gifts are for you. Just move them into your courtyard." The old lady told her granddaughter.
Ning Jiayin looked at the gifts, picked up jewelry and cloth and divided them among several little sisters, before taking the rest to her house.
She has never pursued such external things.
She just wants to live her life as a rice insect peacefully.
When she first came here, she was quite sad and overwhelmed, especially when she found out that she was a concubine. She was particularly panicked, wondering if she would be abused by her aunt. She missed her relatives in her previous life every day. Her father was a firefighter during a mission. He died in the hospital. My grandfather was an amiable old Chinese medicine doctor and my mother was an obstetrician and gynecologist. I don’t know what happened to them now that they are gone.
Later, I saw that my aunt was honest, my grandmother was kind, my aunt was open-minded, and my brothers and sisters loved each other. Occasionally, my concubine wanted to be a demon, but she strangled her in the cradle before she even started. This was a better living environment than the concubines I read in the book. I don’t know how many, so she doesn’t want to shine as brightly as some time-traveling girls. I just want to live quietly in my own one-third of an acre of land.
No matter how naive Ning Jiayin's thoughts were, the reality was so disappointing.
On a late spring afternoon, Xiaoman had just had a gloomy and breathless day after a few days.
April 16th is the old lady's birthday. Ning Jiayin started instructing Chunxing to make the cake of his era a few days ago. Although the cake was not perfect at first, it was a rarity in this era after all.
Two days before her birthday, she invited her brothers and sisters to her grandmother's place early. When she took out the cake, her loyal fans Jia Ming and Jia Lei clapped their hands and jumped up happily: "Fourth sister is making delicious food again." ”
Several others also made low noises, but Ning Jiayin cut the cake into small pieces with a knife and put them on a plate. She handed them to her grandmother first, and then to the other fans. Aunt Liu next to her grandmother I also handed over a piece.
"Everyone, let's try it. If it tastes good, I'll make a big one for grandma's birthday." Ning Jiayin looked at everyone with a smile. Unfortunately, the eldest brother Ning Jiaqi and the second brother Ning Jiakun were not there. They went there early in the morning. I bought books for the study.
Jiaming, a die-hard fan, took a bite before Ning Jiayin finished speaking. As soon as it entered his mouth, he ordered it like a chicken: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious."
The old lady was amused by him: "You brat, you know how to eat all day long."
Qingdai and Chunxing couldn't help but smile at each other. The two young masters liked the food cooked in their yard the most, and their expressions were exactly the same every time.
Everyone else also picked up their forks and started to eat. A sweet smell came into their mouths, and they seemed to feel a lot better.
There was a commotion outside, and the maid from the outer courtyard came to report: "Old lady, a government official is here."
"Officers and soldiers!" Ning Jiayin was horrified, remembering the plot in the novel. In this era of imperial power, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the power of life and death is completely controlled by the emperor alone. She only comforted herself in her heart, hoping that it was not herself. Thinking too much.
The old lady was so shocked that she lost her face. The cake in her hand fell down and she stumbled back. Mother Liu beside her took care of the old lady. Never in her life had she seen the old lady so rude. When she reached out to help the old lady, she couldn't help shouting. : "Old lady!"
After the old woman experienced the initial panic, she suddenly remembered what her eldest son said to her alone after he dismissed everyone some time ago:
"...
The son studied hard when he was young and learned a skill in order to contribute to the court. If something unexpected happens to the family one day, the mother is asked to remember that the son will definitely be reunited with his mother.
…
No matter what situation the son is in, he will share the emperor's worries, so the mother must not worry. "
How come something unexpected happened when everything was going well? She wanted her son to tell her in detail, but he said that this was already a leak, and repeatedly told her not to reveal today's conversation to anyone, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Is it related to what you said that day? The old lady only guessed in her heart, but didn't dare to show it on her face.
In just the blink of an eye, the minds of Ning Jiayin and the old lady have changed thousands of times.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and faint shouts could be heard. The old lady looked calmer than before, but the faces of the several children became more and more panicked when they heard the sounds outside. They had been there since they were born. When has there ever been such a movement in the honeypot?
Jiawang held his grandmother's arm tightly. Jia Ming looked up at his elder sister and fourth sister Ning Jiayin, and leaned towards Ning Jiayin calmly. He felt that the fourth sister was safer than his own sister. It felt like the only person in the room, the fourth sister, had no expression of panic or fear on her face.
Ning Jiayin sensed Jia Ming's uneasiness and held her hand tightly. Then she took her brother Jia Lei's hand and squeezed it hard. Jia Lei felt her sister's comfort and silently moved towards her. He leaned close to his side.
The second sister's anxious voice changed the tone, and she shouted: "Grandma!" The old lady suppressed the panic in her heart and comforted everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone, Mother Liu, go out and take a look."
But before Mother Liu could go out, the maid outside came to report again, her voice full of fear: "Old lady, an officer has ordered us to go to the front yard. "
officer? Is it the Royal Guards? The old lady's heart was filled with turmoil, but the look of shock on her face calmed down. Her face returned to its usual calm, and she straightened her waist: "Let's go to the front yard!" She looked like a strong man cutting off his wrists.
The noises and screams outside became clearer and clearer. Ning Jiayin and the others followed the old lady, looking at each other as they walked. They could not hide their panic at the moment, and they did not know what fate was waiting for them.
