Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 35: An Mingyue’s apprenticeship
Since he said that, Ning Xi didn't ask too many questions. If he said too much, he might offend other people's taboos! So Ning Xi happily bowed to Jun Shaofeng: "Then I would like to thank Shizi."
Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang came out of the Prince Qi's mansion, Meng Shuangshuang patted his chest and said, "I was really nervous just now, this Prince Qi doesn't usually look good outside, but I don't know why, In his house, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say a word."
Ning Xi also thought it was funny. Meng Shuangshuang, who was usually lively and generous, hid behind her like a shy little daughter-in-law this morning. It was rare that the two, who had always disliked each other, didn't quarrel.
The two of them were walking and talking, when a carriage stopped beside them, and a middle-aged man who looked like a family man came over and said to Ningxi, "Miss Ning, next to the mansion of the Duke of Ang. Servant, my wife would like to invite the girl over there."
Ning Xi asked suspiciously, "Mrs. An wants to see me?" Could it be that she wanted to invite a teacher to ask her guilt?
The man respectfully said: "Exactly, Miss Ning, please get on the carriage."
Meng Shuangshuang quietly pulled Ningxi's sleeve: "Ningxi, don't go, they must be uneasy and kind."
Ning Xi looked at the other party. Although the man was very respectful to him, his posture didn't seem like he could let them go, so he patted Meng Shuangshuang on the back and comforted: "It's okay, I'm fine. Just follow the past to see, nothing will happen, you go back first!"
"That won't work, I want to go with you."
The servant of Duke Anguo said again, "It would be fine if Miss Ning wanted this girl to accompany her."
Up to now, the two had to get on the carriage of Duke Anguo's mansion. Meng Shuangshuang was trembling with fear: "Ningxi, what should I do?"
Ning Xi has been holding Meng Shuangshuang's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid."
After entering the mansion, everyone was very polite to them, but they let Meng Shuangshuang wait in the side hall, saying that Mrs. An only saw Ning Xi, and watched Ning Xi's thin figure disappear in the winding corridor In the middle, Meng Shuangshuang looked at the exquisite cakes and tea on the table, and the more he waited, the more nervous he turned around.
Ning Xi followed the servant girl, turning left and right, until she walked to the place where Mrs. An met the guest. The servant girl asked Ning Xi to wait outside the door. She went in and said, "Madam, Miss Ning is here."
A gentle voice came from inside the house: "Please come in!"
The maid came out and welcomed Ning Xi in. Ning Xi bowed generously to the woman on the soft couch: "Ning Xi, the people's daughter, I have seen Mrs. An."
Mrs. An is a typical noble woman from a wealthy family. She dresses plainly and simply. She doesn't have the habit of stacking gold and silver jewelry on her head. The bracelet is enough to make people see her noble identity.
Ningxi didn't understand, how could such a master mistress teach an arrogant young lady like An Mingyue?
"You're Ning Xi? Don't be too polite, come and sit here." Mrs. An didn't have the slightest bit of pretence, which was completely different from An Mingyue's attitude of looking at people from the end of her eyes.
"Thank you Mrs. An." Ning Xi carefully sat next to Mrs. An, "I don't know why Mrs. An called Minnu to come here?"
"My daughter, An Mingyue, has been arrogant since she was a child. I have offended Miss Ningxi a few days ago. Please forgive me."
"If Mrs. An is for this matter, then there is no need for it. Miss An has personally come to apologize, and all the losses suffered by the people have been compensated. There is no need to mention this matter in the future."
"To tell the truth, this time I asked Miss Ning to come here to ask for something."
"Mrs. An's words are serious. If there is anything you need the women to do, please feel free to tell me."
"I'm ashamed to say that, my daughter has always been ignorant and ignorant. We have invited a lot of husbands to her, but none of them can be learned. Now it's rare for her to think about learning how to cook. , and I hope that Miss Ning can be my teacher, and I hope that Miss Ning can put aside her previous hatred and accept this apprentice."
Ningxi didn't expect such a thing, and was shocked: "This is absolutely impossible, Ningxi has little talent, how dare to be Miss An's master? If Miss An really wants to learn cooking, there are many free master chefs in the capital. With the power of the Anguo Gongfu, what kind of people can't be invited?"
"The little girl's temper is really the kind that nine cows can't pull back. She is determined to find Miss Ning as her master, and even her father and I are helpless. Besides, in my opinion, only Ning is the only one. Girl, you can hold her down."
Ning Xi panicked: "How is this possible, the people really don't dare!"
"Don't worry, the general said, as long as you can let the little girl really learn something, don't go out and make trouble again, no matter how much you make her suffer, we will not protect her shortcomings."
"What does Madam mean, no matter what I do to Miss Ann?"
“Just like a real master treats his apprentice, he can beat and scold him as he pleases.”
"This..." Ning Xi was still hesitant. Although he said that, they were breaking bones and connecting tendons. If there was a real trouble, they would really not help their daughter, but instead come here. Help yourself an outsider?
Mrs. An opened a brocade box on the table, took out a sign, and handed it to Ning Xi: "Take this, Miss Ning can rest assured?"
Ning Xi took the sign and looked at it, and saw that it was a bronze medal with a simple shape, with the word "safe" engraved on one side and two words "exemption" written on the other side, probably similar to a gold medal of immunity from death or something. Since the words have been said to this point, if Ning Xi refuses to agree, it will offend people: "Mrs. An, please rest assured, the girl will do her best to teach and teach Miss An as much as she can." Whether she can learn it is up to her.
"Then I would like to thank Miss Ning first."
"Don't be polite, Mrs. An, if there is nothing else, Minnu will retire first."
Mrs. An called the maid and asked her to take Ning Xi out. On the corridor to the front hall, she met an old man with white beard and hair, who was chubby and looked like an old urchin in The Legend of Condor Heroes smell.
Ning Xi thought, this is probably the legendary old man of Anguo Public Security.
An Guogong blew his beard and stared, deliberately making an angry expression: "You are the master chosen by my good granddaughter?"
Ning Xi lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's the people's girl."
"Listen to me, if my good granddaughter loses a hair in your place, I will never let you go!"
"Don't dare, the people will treat Miss An as a guest."
"It's almost the same, tell you, it doesn't matter if my granddaughter can learn or not, what matters is to make her happy!"
Ningxi can be considered to understand how An Mingyue's temper came from. Her grandfather was used to it: "Yes, the girl should keep it in mind."
An Guogong suddenly stopped the anger on his face and leaned over with a smile: "Don't be afraid, little girl, as long as my granddaughter is happy, you will naturally benefit from you. I heard that the meat dishes you make are very delicious?"
"Minnu's Sungai Tower will open in three days. If your Lord is interested, you are welcome to come and taste it."
"Okay, let's go!" An Guogong waved Ning Xi away.
Meng Shuangshuang felt that she was about to step out a circle of footprints in the side hall of Anguo Gong's mansion, and finally saw Ning Xi coming out of it, she ran over quickly, grabbed her arms and looked at it from beginning to end. Fortunately, all the beards and tails came out: "Ningxi, what are they looking for from you? Didn't they embarrass you?"
Ning Xi shook his head: "No, you just gave me a big hot potato."
Meng Shuangshuang looked at Ning Xi's empty hands, hence the pseudonym: "What do you mean?"
"In the future, we won't be able to see An Mingyue."
"What's the matter? That stinky girl is coming to trouble us again?"
"Well, it's a big trouble." One said that it was necessary to discipline her strictly, the other said that it was not enough to lose a single hair, the other said that she should learn something well, and the other said that the most important thing is to be happy. What kind of attitude is really tricky, "Forget it, let's talk about it later!"
"Shuangshuang, why don't we take advantage of today's free time, let's go back and pack up and move to Shuangxi Building!" Ning Xi suggested after leaving the Anguo Mansion.
"Okay, otherwise after opening, I don't know when it will be free."
In the small yard they rented on the west side, they didn't have much left over, and the lease was due to expire in a few days. They went back and packed everything and borrowed a cart , The two slowly pushed all the way to the backyard on the side of Shuangxi Tower.
Another door was opened in the backyard for their daily use. As soon as they walked to the door, the two realized that something was wrong. The door was left open, and when they went out this morning, they clearly locked the door. Understand.
The two looked at each other, Meng Shuangshuang showed her demeanor as a big sister at this time, and grabbed Ning Xi: "You don't move, I'll go take a look first." Lightly walked over, Peeking quietly through the crack of the door.
Suddenly straightened up, slammed the door with both hands, and shouted loudly with his hands on his hips, "What are you doing?"
Ning Xi followed her voice and looked into the yard. There was a lot of people coming and going. Miss An was instructing two servants who were carrying a huge pot of money tree: "Move to the left. A little, right, right, right here. Hey, and you, put this vase in that room."
"Miss An, what are you doing?" Ning Xi asked as she walked in.
An Mingyue jumped over with a smile: "Ningxi, I will live here in the future, but your place is too simple, I will arrange it a little."
