Chapter 39 Everything is mine
As Jinning said, there was no turmoil all night. Although the dinner was not delicate, it was not mean to her. She was a meat and a vegetable, and also served with mushroom soup.
Jinning slept very peacefully. These bedding was not what her mother used to be, but sleeping in the room she once slept made her feel very peaceful.
She never knew what her mother looked like, and she had never seen a portrait of her mother from the village to the Duke's Mansion.
In Yaoting Village in Qingzhou, some aunts would describe her mother's appearance.
There are not many adjectives in the countryside, just say that she looks good, her eyes are eyes, and her nose is the nose.
But who is not the eyes, the nose is the nose? Therefore, Jinning cannot form a complete picture of his mother.
However, this night in Zaozhuang, she had a dream.
I dreamed that a woman in blue satin came over, sat by her bed, stretched out her hand to touch her face.
It is a sense of reality beyond dreams.
She saw a face, a gentle and kind face, and there was deep pampering in her eyes.
After waking up, her entire pillow was wet.
She wanted to try hard to recall the appearance of the woman in her dream, but that face gradually disappeared in the thick fog, and she could not remember it.
I felt sad for a long time before I got up slowly.
Pomegranate came in to serve him and said proudly: "Miss. Third Miss, General Changsun and several adults have come here. The lady said that if you wake up, you will go out to see you."
The dimness in Jinning's eyes faded away, replaced by a shrewd light, "What will General Changsun do?"
"It is said that the officials are resting today, and Lord Changsun is waiting at home again, so he invited several officials to come here to escape the summer heat." Pomegranate said.
"Well, help me clean up, I'll go there right away." Jinning said.
In addition to Changsunba and his wife, there are General Mingwei and his wife, General Xuanhua Lang and his wife, and Zhaowu and his wife. The last one is Lord Zhang from Jingzhao Mansion, who did not bring his wife to attend.
Except for Lord Zhang, the rest are under Changsunba.
However, Lord Zhang's appearance here really surprised Jinning.
I knew in my previous life that Lord Zhang was an honest official and did not like to interact with the ministers in the court and rarely socialize. Now that Changsun Bazheng is under investigation, why did he not avoid suspicion and go up?
Changsun smiled and said, "Jinning, I have met several adults."
Jinning wanted to come forward to greet the courtesy, but Lord Zhang said: "The county lord's identity is valuable, so we should bow to the county lord."
After saying that, he bowed in a regular manner.
Jinning quickly asked for a moment and said, "I am ashamed of the little girl. Lord Zhang is an adult from the capital yamen and a parent official of the people. I am the little girl who pays homage to the big brother."
After saying that, she greeted her with a blessing, "Little girl Chen Jinning has met the adults!"
Lord Zhang looked at her with a smile, with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "The county lord's eyes are clear, although he is a daughter, he is righteous. It's not a pity that he is the jewel in the hands of the Duke of Protecting the Country. The tiger father has no dog daughter!"
Whether in previous or present life, Jin Ning has heard people say this many times.
She has never seen her father's former prestige, but she must have known that she cannot forget it.
There are always some people with broad minds who respect those who are truly capable, regardless of their current official rank.
After Lord Zhang said this, several wives came out to greet Jinning.
The wives of these generals were not very good in appearance, but they were dressed very luxuriously.
Changsunba's wife, Yang, is a woman with dark face, with triangular eyes and messy eyebrows, and looks very fierce.
She and Changsunba stood together, with a strong sense of contrast.
Changsun Ba gives people a sense of honesty, while Yang makes people feel fierce.
She looked rough and had a very strong figure. Her luxurious satin didn't make her look noble, but instead looked even more ugly.
Seeing that everyone had seen the ceremony, Chen Jinrui stepped forward and smiled and said, "Jinning, you are the master of this farm. It is rare for several generals and wives to come. You, the master, have to do your best to be a landlord and lead the ladies to walk around the villa. Yan'er and I will accompany you."
Jinning smiled and asked for a happy body: "If you ladies don't dislike the simplicity of the place, then follow the little girl to look around."
She whistled, and Xiao Hei rushed in, and she picked it up with one hand, "Please!"
Yang whispered: "My ladies always hold a dirty dog, isn't they disgusting?"
Changsun Yan'er pulled Yang and signaled her not to make a sound.
The group of people, with several servants, walked out of the village in a mighty manner.
It was very hot early in June.
Fortunately, Zaozhuang is high and windy, and it is quite comfortable, but mosquitoes are indispensable in the mountains and wild places.
General Mingwei's wife shook the round fan in her hand, her face full of impatientness, "What's the broken place? I've been bitten several times on my face with so many mosquitoes."
The captain's wife smiled and said, "How can you stand the bite of mosquitoes? And the sun is immediately vicious. It's better to find a cool place and ask someone to smoke some mugwort to repel mosquitoes. Let's sit down and have some tea."
Yang turned around and scolded Jin Ning, "Why didn't you do any preparation? Even though you knew that several ladies were coming, you should ask someone to prepare mugwort sachets to repel mosquitoes in advance."
Jinning changed his previous respect and said coldly: "Do you have a lot of brains? Even though you know you are here in this mountainous place, you are embarrassed to complain if you don't prepare mugwort? You deserve to be bitten by mosquitoes."
Yang's face changed, "What did you say? Are you talking like this? You are the owner of Zaozhuang. Shouldn't you say hello when the guests come?"
"Whose guests will be greeted? I'm already giving you a good face when I come out with you." She shook her face and said.
Since Changsun Ba became a general, Yang has never heard such disrespectful words. He was so angry that his muscles trembled on his face. He pointed at Jin Ning and said angrily: "How much face do you have? How dare you be presumptuous in front of so many ladies? I will discipline you well for your father today."
"You try?" Jinning said coldly.
Chen Jinrui stepped forward, stopped Jinning and Yang, and said to Yang, "Auntie, don't be angry. Jinning is not aimed at you, but at me and Yan'er. She is a little dissatisfied with me and Yan'er."
After hearing this, the ladies all accused him: "Where is the one who is the master of this? He is not only neglecting the guests, but also speaks bad words to his elders. The prince doesn't know how to teach his daughter, and he teaches him so arrogantly."
Yang snorted angrily and said to Jinning: "I won't bother you today. After I go back, I will definitely tell the Duke and let him take good care of you."
Chen Jinrui quickly accused him of his crime and apologized to all his wives. Then he ordered the housekeeper to take several wives to the pavilion to rest and arrange tea.
The housekeeper followed along the way. After listening to Chen Jinrui's instructions, he used his versatile skills and brought several ladies to the pavilion next to the reservoir.
After Chen Jinrui and all the wives left, they said to Jinning with a cold face: "You shouldn't say bad things to your aunt. There are so many wives here, which is a joke."
