Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

After everyone finished picking out what they wanted, they started to make new clothes for Yang Ningxi and Yang Ningya who were waiting to be married.    

    

"What is Ningya's favorite color?" Shen Jingli picked up a piece of blue silk and turned to ask Yang Ningyi.    

    

Madam Cheng and Madame Zhao were on the other side selecting the latest jeweled Jewelry s that the Golden Silver Restaurant would send over. After hearing his words, she immediately said: "Jinglee, don't be so busy, your second aunt and I have already picked out the fabrics for your two younger sisters. Pick the ones you like and make some new clothes for yourself, Zi An and Xun Er."    

    

"That's right. If you choose well, hand it over to Chun Xin, then go and chat with your brothers and sisters." With the marriage set, Mrs Zhao had been in a good mood these days. She raised her head and smiled kindly at them.    

    

Hearing that, Yang Ningtian quickly put down the cloth in his hands, and with one hand holding Yang Ningyi and the other holding Shen Jingli, he shouted happily: "Sister-in-law, Fifth brother, let's go to the pavilion to take a seat."    

    

He smiled brightly, quickly handed over the fabric Yang Ningyi and Shen Jingli picked up to Chun Xin and left with the two of them.    

    

When Madame Zhao saw this, she could not help but laugh and nag at Madam Cheng: "She really likes to play, isn't it just letting him pick out a few pieces of cloth, it's so difficult? If he doesn't put her heart into it, then I've never seen such a carefree duo, how will she marry in the future?"    

    

Seeing her like this, Madam Cheng started to laugh, "It's rare for Jinglee and Ningyi to come over to play together, let's let him be happy. After all, he's still young, it's not unavoidable for him to be upset."    

    

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to speak up for him. I'll worry about that brat." Mrs Zhao picked up a few pairs of Jewelry s and passed them to the Great maidservant to keep. She then looked outside the door and asked, "Why is Ningxin not here yet?"    

    

"She went out to look at the shops. That girl recently bought two more and said she wanted to earn more money to put on her two sisters' makeup." Madam Cheng could not hold back her laughter. She picked up two more butterflies and got them to move the rest of the things down, wiping her hands, then turned to Zhao Shi and asked, "Did you go see Mother today?"    

    

and Ningyi came with me. Mother's complexion looked much better, and Jinglee said that he wanted Mother to come out more and bask in the sunlight. "    

    

Madam Cheng nodded and continued to talk to Mrs Zhao for a while. She only left after the close Great maidservant came to ask her to take care of some matters.    

    

"..."    

    

Yang Ningtian pulled Shen Jingli and Yang Ningyi to the pavilion, and just happened to bump into the Nannan playing by the Lotus Pond.    

    

When Nannan saw Shen Jingli and Yang Ningyi, she immediately ran over and hugged Shen Jingli. Then, she pouted and asked unhappily, "Fifth Uncle, where did you go? Nannan hasn't seen you for a few days … " She reached out her hand to count them, then frowned. "I haven't been home for sixty days. Where did you go?"    

    

Yang Ningtian held his stomach and laughed for a while, then he reached out and hugged Nannan, who immediately hugged his neck, "Sixth Uncle, why are you still laughing? Fifth Uncle is not home, why are you still laughing?"    

    

Yang Ningtian felt that she was extremely cute when he saw how angry he was acting. He lowered his head and kissed her cheeks, "If Fifth Uncle is married, of course he won't stay home."    

    

"What is marriage?" Nannan puzzledly frowned, looked at Yang Ningtian, then turned to look at Shen Jingli and Yang Ningyi, and extended her hand towards Yang Ningyi.    

    

Yang Ningtian hugged her tightly, not letting her go, "Fifth Uncle is pregnant, he can't hug you like that."    

    

"Really?" Her eyes lit up, and then happily clapped her hands, and then stared at Yang Ningyi's stomach, "I'm going to have a little brother again."    

    

"Right, let's be happy." Yang Ningtian carried her to the pavilion and sat down, telling the servants to let his have some snacks.    

    

When the servants brought the snacks over, she stood up and reached out to take the snacks from the plate to Yang Ningyi, "Fifth Uncle, eat some snacks."    

    

Yang Ningyi took the dim sum and touched Nannan's head. Nannan gave him a bashful smile and continued to give the dim sum to Shen Jingli and Yang Ningtian.    

    

The three of them began to chat again after having some snacks. Nannan couldn't sit still, so she twisted on her chair and slid down, looking for a wet nurse and her close maidservant to play with him.    

    

"I heard that a lot of madams have come to ask if you're engaged to be married off recently. Is that true?" Yang Ningyi asked sarcastically.    

    

Speaking of that, Yang Ningtian's face immediately darkened, and he turned towards Yang Ningyi and made a fierce expression, "Who are you blaming for this? Tell me, who is to blame for this? "    

    

Ever since's pregnancy had spread, many families in the capital had spread rumors that he was lucky, had married a good family, and immediately had a happy marriage. These discussions spread, and later on, the two who became Yang Family were blessed.    

    

Thinking about the number of people he had met these past few days, Yang Ningtian felt his heart clench. He turned around and glared at Yang Ningyi, "Isn't it all because of sister-in-law and fifth brother?"    

    

"How can you blame us?" Yang Ningyi shook her head in disapproval, "It was obviously spread randomly by the people outside."    

    

Although it was this logic, Yang Ningtian still snorted unhappily. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and came over, whispering, "I heard that a lot of people proposed for marriage on Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion, especially the wife of the Marquis of Changning, who took a fancy to Mu Ke with a single glance. His son had just inherited the Marquis' title, and is the new Marquis of Changning.    

    

"The Residence of Chang Ning?" Shen Jingli frowned. He was not familiar with the wife of the Shangguan family in the capital, but he had a deep impression of her, it was because she was an existence that made it easy for him to get into conflict with her. Her temper was not good, and she was a petty person, would the Dehui County Lord be willing to get along with such a person?    

    

Yang Ningyi also frowned. It was obvious that he didn't think much of the Duke of Changning's estate either.    

    

"That's right, Madam Chang Ning still thinks that her son marrying Mu Ke is beneath her, and that Mu Ke is not worthy of her son." Yang Ningtian curled his lips, he really did not understand where that lady got her confidence from, "That son of hers is not bad, the moment he sees a beauty, he likes to get closer to her. Right now, they are not even married yet, and are already wandering around the streets and alleys everyday.    

    

Yang Ningtian scoffed in disdain, he had previously seen Young Master Song provoking a lady on the streets, and his coquettish words made the girl cry in anger.    

    

"What's the attitude with Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion?" Yang Ningyi poured a cup of water for Shen Jingli and asked.    

    

"That's not the point." Yang Ningtian revealed a look of disdain, "The important thing is that Madam Zhang Ning has set her eyes on Mu Ke's rich dowry, and will probably think of a way to successfully propose marriage …"    

    

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Based on the Song Family's character, they might not hesitate to ruin Mu Ke's reputation, and force him to marry his."    

    

If he really married into such a family, Mu Ke would be miserable for the rest of his life. Yang Ningtian could not help but feel some sympathy for Mu Ke.    

    

"Isn't this method too insidious?" Destroying the reputation of men, this pair of unmarried girls and twins, is a great ruin.    

    

Madame Song doesn't know how to be a housekeeper. I heard that many of the businesses in the Changning Marquis Mansion have all been sold by her. One of Ningxin's recent stores is owned by the Changning manor." Yang Ningtian drank a few mouthfuls of water before continuing, "The marquis' wife has such a great reputation, adding new jewelry and clothes every quarter. Moreover, she specializes in expensive and gorgeous items, with a set of Jewelry that costs more than a thousand silvers. "Fifth brother, now that you're the housekeeper, do you know what a thousand taels of silver is?    

    

Hearing this, Yang Ningyi's Adam's apple moved a little, as she continuously swallowed, "There are sixty people in the Western Mu Mansion, so five hundred silver coins wouldn't even be needed to go through the month."    

    

"So, the Mansion of the Marquis of Changning is beautiful on the outside, but on the inside …" Yang Ningtian shook his head in disdain.    

    

Hearing that, Yang Ningyi sighed, and coincidentally, Yang Ningxiu had returned. After hearing his sigh, she immediately asked: "Ningyi, what are you sighing for?"    

    

Seeing Yang Ningxiu coming in, Yang Ningyi walked forward to welcome him, and held Yang Ningxiu's hand as they sat down. Yang Ningyi saw that she had a face full of joy, and could not help but ask: "Big sister, your complexion is so good, did something good happen?"    

    

Today, Yang Ningxiu was wearing a goose yellow dress, and her skin was very white due to the sunken color of her pretty face. Along with her expression, which was as tender and beautiful as a red apple, she looked extremely beautiful and generous.    

    

Hearing Yang Ningyi say that, she unconsciously revealed a smile, and said: "Wherever there is something good, you will tease me. Lei Zhen brought some fresh goods from the ocean and sent them to the Embroidery Workshop. I thought that Jinglee would come today, so I hurriedly brought them back, so that he can bring some back tonight. "    

    

Lei Zhen accepted a mission of escorting some goods to sea. He just came back yesterday and brought back a lot of seafood, then he sent a lot to Yang Ningxiu.    

    

Hearing that, Yang Ningtian smiled at Yang Ningxiu ambiguously, and asked with ill intentions: "Elder Sister Xiu, when will this Young Master Lei come to propose marriage?"    

    

Yang Ningxiu's face flushed red, she extended her hand and punched Yang Ningtian: "You still haven't left the pavilion, how can you ask about this kind of thing?"    

    

"What's wrong with me caring about my sister?" Yang Ningtian snorted unhappily.    

    

Yang Ningxiu unhappily patted his shoulder, and turned to Yang Ningyi: "What were you sighing about just now?"    

    

"I heard Ningtian talk about the affairs of the Changning Manor." Yang Ningyi said.    

    

Yang Ningxiu had just picked up the teacup, and when she heard his words, she put the teacup down once again. "I heard that old marquis Ning is very sick, and might not hold out much longer this year, Madam Zhang Ning plans to marry her son this year, if not, if old marquis really cannot endure it, then marquis Chang Ning will have to be filial for three years. He's already nineteen this year, and after being filial for three years, he'll be twenty-two.    

    

When these words came out, the expressions on Shen Jingli and the other two became even more excited.    

    

Yang Ningxiu did not notice their expressions, and instead told them about what Lei Zhen had said on the way, which made them laugh happily.    

    

In the afternoon, Shen Jingli could be said to have returned full of rewards. Other than the cloth that he picked out, there was also the gift that the Madam Cheng prepared as well as the sea object that Yang Ningxiu brought back.
