At this point, most of the villagers had already started cooking. Standing on the hilltop, with smoke rising in spirals, they looked towards the fields to the side.
When she arrived at Ning Family, she realized that the door was open and Ning Yan immediately walked in.
Ning Wan'er stood in the courtyard and sprinkled the green salt on top of the toothbrush that was made from pig hair and brushed her teeth beside the water jug. Seeing Ning Yan pouring a mouthful of water into his mouth, she splashed onto his mouth and puked.
"It's you, why are you here?" The conflict in Ning Wan'er's words was extremely obvious.
"None of your business." Sure enough, Ning Wan'er was still as detestable as ever.
"You ..." Just as Ning Wan'er wanted to curse, Ning Qianci walked out from inside, her gaze sweeping across Ning Wan'er's body.
Ning Wan'er had her own plans in her heart, but she was still a little respectful towards Ning Qianci.
"Big Sis?"
"What is it now? "If there's nothing else, come over to my place."
"No, nothing's wrong."
"The rice is almost cooked. You are not allowed to go out." Mrs. Xu walked out from the kitchen as a trace of anger appeared on her beautiful face.
"Looking at Ning Yan, her eyes almost lit up. What are you, a jinx, doing here? Get the hell out of here, you're not welcome here."
"..." Finally no longer feigning weakness?
"Mom, you just started the fire, how can the food be so easy to cook? I'll go out for a while, I'll be right back." Seeing that Ning Yan was about to speak, Ning Qianci quickly interrupted and said.
With that, he followed behind Ning Yan and left the place. As for the curses that came out of Mrs. Xu's mouth, he pretended not to hear them, as he was his own mother after all. He couldn't do anything to the Mrs. Xu, so he left far away.
Walking out of the courtyard, Ning Qianci could still hear the shouts and curses of the Mrs. Xu. The words were extremely unpleasant to hear, causing Ning Qianci to halt in his steps. He raised his head and looked at Ning Yan: "Sis, all these years, you've worked hard."
"..." Ning Yan shook her head. If Mrs. Xu was not the mother of this body, she would have already punched him.
This was how blood relations sometimes tortured people.
Arriving at the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the two of them walked in, one in front of the other.
Rong Qingchen sat on a rock beneath the tree, his hands scrubbed the dirty clothes he changed yesterday.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ning Yan raised her head and looked towards the door as she walked in with a man dressed like a scholar.
Thinking of his own face, Rong Qingchen stood up and was about to leave. Sometimes, if one looked too much, the treatment one received would be the same as if they looked too ugly.
"There's no need to hide. This is my younger brother. Do you want to be his errand boy and go to the capital together?"
After Ning Yan finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Ning Qianci. The young scholar's gaze fell on Rong Qingchen.
Ning Yan waved her hand in front of Ning Yu's eyes.
Being opened by someone, Ning Qianci who was immersed in his beauty stared stupidly at Rong Qingchen, the intelligence he had usually disappeared today.
Looking at Ning Qianci who was immersed in Rong Qingchen's beauty, Ning Yan felt that this bookkeeper was someone Rong Qingchen really couldn't afford to take on.
"Does it look good?" Ning Yan whispered into Ning Qianci's ear.
"Good."
"Do you like it?"
"Happy ..." Before Ning Qianci's words could come out, he was kicked like a dog eating shit. If not for the giant locust tree in front of him, he would definitely be lying on the ground.
Ning Yan withdrew her leg that she kicked out, "You think you can rush to take the high school entrance exam with just this little bit of effort? Take your body, the Red Pink Skeleton, do you understand?"
He stood up from the ground, patted his clothes, and brushed off the dust on his body. Then, he turned to look at Ning Yan with helplessness in his eyes.
"Sis."
"Come on, I was going to buy a errand boy for you, but unfortunately, I can't let you take him away." Ning Yan waved to Rong Qingchen, then turned and walked to the side room.
Unable to see the beauty, Ning Qianci finally calmed down.
"Sis, the reason you asked me to come here so early in the morning is to show me beauties."
"It's the hardest to accept a beauty's kindness. If you really become a government official like this, and someone gives you a beauty, you'll be immediately mesmerized. You'd better not take the Beijing exams."
"Sis, I was just too shocked."
"That's right, who asked you not to see a beauty before?"
"..." Ning Qianci didn't think that this was a good thing.
"Then, my errand boy ..."
"She's no longer your errand boy. Rong Qingchen likes to sing plays, he will be going to Pear Garden in the future."
"Fine." He was a good errand boy, if he said no then he was gone. Although Ning Qianci was a little reluctant, but he knew that Rong Qingchen's appearance was not suitable for a errand boy.
If he really brought him to the capital, his schoolmates would definitely think that he had some hobby of splitting nectars with broken sleeves.
"Then what are you going to do with him?"
"It's raised at home and can be used to wash my eyes." Ning Yan said, and felt that it made more sense.
It was true that they often saw eye-piercing scenes in the village, such as snakes intertwining at the foot of the mountain, dogs running wild in the village, brave men knocking on Widow Shen's door in broad daylight, raising a beauty at home.
"As you wish." Recovering from his shock, Ning Qianci no longer bothered about Rong Qingchen staying and leaving. He only asked a single question: "Have you come from a clean background?"
"..." Ning Yan did not directly respond to him. Instead, he pulled Ning Qianci and said: "Everyone is here, let's eat together. I've already prepared breakfast, let's go test out some clothes."
"Alright."
Ning Qianci walked towards the hall.
As for the clothes that Ning Yan talked about, Ning Qianci didn't need to ask to know that Ning Yan had bought him new clothes.
This was his sister, who had left the best for him since she was young.
When he was eating, he saw Rong Qingchen at the table again, and unknowingly, he had eaten two more steamed buns.
They had originally only eaten seventy percent full, but this time, it was already full to the point that it was difficult for them to even stand up.
Seeing Ning Qianci lying on the chair with his hands around his stomach, Ning Yan scolded: "You're useless."
Rong Qingchen chuckled, he had long since walked to the Sophora Tree in the courtyard and washed off the clothes in the basin.
"Lady Ning, I want to make a trip to the County City."
"Go, go. Don't forget to cover your face."
"Yes." Rong Qingchen replied as he walked towards the kitchen.
He reached out to wipe the ashes on the pot, and wiped his face. The handsome and unparalleled youth instantly changed his appearance, and Ning Qianci, whose mind was originally a little restless, completely extinguished the thought in his head.
Watching Rong Qingchen leave, Ning Yan brought Ning Qianci to the bedroom.
He took out the set of clothes he had bought in the county."Let's give it a try."
"Yes." Ning Qianci did not make a move as he received the clothes.
Ning Yan waited for a while and realized that Ning Qianci had not changed her clothes yet.
"You go out first."
"..." Why don't you want to change clothes? Was she that petty? Ning Yan turned and walked out.
The door opened from the inside with a creak.
Ning Qianci, who had changed into a new set of clothes, walked out. He was dressed in a green robe with a thousand layers of white at the bottom.
"It's the same with strangers like jade." Ning Yan sighed, extended her hand and patted Ning Qianci's shoulders: "Not bad, if only I can ride my horse and swim around the streets after next year's spring session."
"You really dare to think about it." The treatment of riding a horse through the streets was something that only the top three people would receive. Many people dreamed of such a day, but most people could only dream of this.
Ning Yan ignored Ning Qianci's words and continued to speak: "It is said that the officials of the capital all like to catch husbands under the rankings, you have to be careful."
