Ning Nuan’s birthday is not a good day. It is the midsummer time. Not only is the weather hot and lazy, but it can’t even raise the appetite, and there are even many restrictions.

Ning Qing was born a few months later than her. When she was born, not only did the weather turn cooler, but she was even loved by the old lady. Every time she returned to her birthday, the old lady's advice would be taken care of by the old lady. Special.Ning Nuan is the eldest daughter of the Ning family, but her birthday is not so exciting every year.

This time Jiang Yunlan was full of energy, and before the day, he greeted the people to start buying things.Lingluo silk, pearl gems, carts and carts of things were delivered to the gate of Ningfu.

Ning Nuan got several new clothes and many matching jewellery, but Jiang Yunlan looked at it and felt that something was missing. She abandoned what she had done before and ordered people to continue to make new ones.Ning Nuan has never paid attention to these things, but looking at the same thing that was brought to her, she touched the cool jade mat, always feeling guilty in her heart.

"Mother." Ning Nuan found some time, and quickly stopped Jiang Yunlan: "Don't be too ostentatious. Now all the adults in the DPRK are learning to be diligent and thrifty. If your actions attract someone's attention, then Dad can It's hard to do."

"A Nuan, don't worry, my mother knows everything in her heart." Jiang Yunlan patted her hand, and said indifferently: "What kind of ostentation are these things? I didn't pass other people's hands. I took them from my shop. Yes, this eliminates the intermediate price. It’s only a cost, but it’s not as expensive as you think. Besides, it’s just a few pieces of clothes and jewelry. You have a copy every month. Compared with other people, our house every month There are not many cases, you look at other people..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yunlan lowered her voice and whispered: "Don't look at everyone in Beijing nowadays talking about diligence and thrift, but in private, you can live as long as you want, but you can't have a banquet or a big deal. , Just say that Madam Dong... Madam Dong came from a family, and she saw good things since she was a child. Outsiders were saying that Madam Dong was poor and simple in linen clothes, but under her linen clothes, everything It's worth a thousand dollars, and you can't find those good materials. Who knows what your life is like?"

Ning Nuan frowned: "Don't let outsiders grab the handle."

"A Nuan, don't worry, my mother didn't let outsiders know." Jiang Yunlan said, and sighed again: "Besides, now only a few of our Ning family have to support, I earn a lot of money, and I don’t have that. Few people, if I don’t spend my money for you, can I still spend it on outsiders? Now I look at the account books every month, just watching the more and more money in our family. Your brother is far away in Qingzhou, and the flowers are also spent. If you can’t spend it, your father still holds his own salary. There is still a lot left in the past month. Niang Ke is counting on you, and I just make you a few clothes and a few jewelry, and you pay it all. Thinking of saving me money..."

Seeing that she was about to start talking again, Ning Nuan quickly interrupted her: "Mother, I see."

Jiang Yunlan was only satisfied.

How lively the Ning family is, the two bedrooms and three bedrooms separated by a wall can naturally find a little movement.Sanfang is now overwhelmed by Ning Yanhai’s affairs, and Erfang is also sad because of the eldest prince. Only Ning Qing often runs to the old lady, seeing everything in her eyes, looking at Ning Nuan’s new clothes and new jewelry. Even more jealous.

Ning Qing said sourly with the old lady, the old lady called Jiang Yunlan again, but was slapped again."What's the matter with Nuanhua for the silver I earned? If she is envious, go back and let her mother earn it." Zhi Jiang was very angry.

Now the old lady has no right to speak in Dafang. In the past, Ning Yanting was willing to listen to her and be obedient to her, but now it is different. Now Jiang Yunlan and Ning Yanting respect her very much on the surface and should give They will be given to her without losing their tongues, and still let the servants take care of them, but if the old lady wants to order something, no one will agree.

Ning Qing failed to file a complaint, so she turned around and told the second wife about the matter.

The second wife was terrified; "Jiang Yunlan is so high-profile, if she has an accident, don't hurt our family."

After the eldest prince was reprimanded a few days ago, the corruption case was also solved by King An. The eldest prince was struggling, but he did not find anything, but lost the Sacred Heart. Now she and Ning Yanwen are trembling. For fear of being involved.Hearing Jiang Yunlan's high-profile behavior again made her terrified.

Ning Qing was dissatisfied: "Mother, I didn't tell you this."

"Then what else do you want to tell me? Is it possible that I have to report her?" The second wife whispered: "Not to mention whether this will affect our family, you are not afraid of being hated by An Wangji."

Now King An is in full swing, not to mention that he often makes the little servant around him come to Ning Mansion with great fanfare. The two Ning's are close together, and they can see clearly.King An was the first to make meritorious service, and he was the first to lead by example in living the hard life. The people in the capital were boasting that King An was good, let alone getting a face in front of Sheng Shang. They didn't dare to offend King An.

Ning Qing pursed her lips, and had to answer unwillingly.

She was even more dissatisfied, and she only felt that everything went wrong after the separation.First, Ning Nuan's reputation was cleared, and then it was favored by the entire capital family. Even Madam Liu asked her through Madam Zhou, and rejected a Madam Liu. Now there is another King An, who is really a relative of the emperor. Fancy it!And her?Not only had to fend off food and clothing, even Young Master Zhou's attitude towards her became cold. Seeing that it was not a few months before her birthday, Fei was destined to not be able to do as well as before.She used to press Ning Nuan everywhere, but now it's better, but Ning Nuan is crushed instead.

Ning Qing wringed her veil fiercely: "She don't want me to congratulate her on her birthday."

Ning Nuan didn't even think of asking her to congratulate.

Jiang Yunlan was busy going up and down for her birthday, and even Ning Nuan was taken busy. Occasionally, even the letter Chu Fei sent to Ninglang's house was forgotten. Several days had passed when she remembered it.

Fortunately, after busy preparations, it was finally her birthday.

Because they couldn't do it big, let alone entertain others, in the end only their family lived.Jiang Yunlan specially ordered the kitchen to make a table of good dishes, and the brocade boxes filled with birthday gifts were stacked up high. The maids were in and out, even if Ning Lang was not there, the atmosphere was rare and lively.

Only Jiang Yunlan still has some regrets: "Unfortunately, it is stipulated that fireworks cannot be set off. I can't even buy them. A Nuan has had so many birthdays, but he has never set off fireworks."

"The sky is dry and everything is dry. You can't easily move an open flame. You forgot. A few years ago, a family set off fireworks and accidentally lit an abandoned house in the east of the city. Because the fire was not timely, it almost killed people. "Ning Yanting frowned.

Jiang Yunlan regrets regrets, it is just talk.

The food is ready here, and the maid who called the old lady is also back.

"The old lady is not in good shape, and said she is not coming."

Since scoring the family, the old lady has always used this excuse when returning home.Jiang Yunlan was even more happy when she heard this. She didn't want to let the old lady come to disappointment on such a good day.

"A Nuan, eat quickly. When you finish eating, mother has something good for you."

Ning Nuan responded and quickly took the dishes she had picked up with a bowl.

On the other side, listening to the sound of horseshoes drifting away, Chu Fei turned over from behind the wall when the inspectors had left.

He walked two steps, and didn't wait for the person behind him to keep up, before looking back, he saw Wang crawling over from behind the wall embarrassedly.

Chu Fei frowned and said in a low voice, "You move faster."

"Master, the minion is really not good at this." Wang Quan bitterly jumped off the wall, bent over and picked up the things on the ground, and quickly followed, still trembled all the way."Master, there is still a curfew now, do you really want to do this? If you are caught..."

"How could this king be caught?" Chu Fei said indifferently: "You move faster. If it is late, Miss Ning will fall asleep."

Wang Quan replied and followed with a frown.

They ran to the place they had been optimistic about all morning, Wang Quan put down the things, and then Chu Fei took the Huozhezi out of his arms.

He asked: "Are you sure? Really optimistic? The Ning family can see the most clearly?"

"Look, Lord, the minion ordered someone to inquire early in the morning. When your fireworks are set off, not only Miss Ning, but also the entire capital can be seen clearly." Wang Quan said, "It's just that it's not just Miss Ning. And the person who inspects can also see clearly..."

"I know, I know, as soon as the inspectors came over, the king Baozhun immediately ran away." Chu Fei lit the fire and said, "It's Miss Ning's birthday today. The emperor has given orders to not do anything. I don’t know how to wrong her. She doesn’t want to see this king, and this king can’t enter Ning Mansion. If this birthday gift cannot be handed over to her, she has to let her see it, don’t you?”

How dare Wang Quan respond?

He looked around in fear, fearing that someone would jump out to inspect, and grab him and the prince into the prison together.

Chu Fei polished the Huozhezi, lit the fuse, and then hid behind his ears.

Hearing a "bang" sound, a beam of fire flew into the sky and bloomed in midair.

Ning Nuan was talking with her parents, and suddenly heard a noise outside and the exclamation of people coming from the crowd. She turned her head curiously, put down her chopsticks and walked out.

But I saw the fireworks in the sky blooming one after another, extremely gorgeous, illuminating the outside like daylight.The fireworks seemed very close to the Ning's house, as if blooming above the Ning's house, with continuous banging sounds, and the fireworks above the head went off and on, lit and extinguished, attracting everyone's attention.

Ning Nuan looked up at the fireworks above her head, and said with some uncertainty: "Mother..."

Jiang Yunlan was also very surprised: "A Nuan, I didn't do this." Where did she dare to violate the prohibition?

"Maybe it's a desperate guy who committed the crime. I just said it. Unfortunately, there are no fireworks on A'Nuan's birthday. Now it's good, and the fireworks are complete!" Jiang Yunlan said with joy, "No matter who set it, it's cheaper for us. ."

Ning Nuan raised her head and stared at the sky intently. The first time she saw such a landscape on this day, she couldn't help but stare blankly.

After the sound was gone and the fire was gone, Chu Fei put down his hand covering his ears.

He was still a little bit unfinished: "Is it all gone?"

"No!" Wang Quan said anxiously: "Master, let's go quickly, this is such a big movement, someone must be found."

Chu Fei looked at it reluctantly, and then said, "I don't know if she saw it."

"Girl Ning will definitely see it!"

Only then was Chu Fei willing to leave.

They had just walked a few steps, and suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes from far to near, the sound getting louder and louder, running towards this side.Chu Fei's expression suddenly changed, leading Wang Quan to turn and run in another direction.

But he didn't run two steps, and there was fire from the other side.

There was also an angry rebuke from the inspecting soldiers: "Bold! Who is setting off the fireworks here? The emperor has issued an order, and now you are not allowed to move open flames!"

On the other side, there was also a voice accompanied by the sound of horse hooves: "Who has committed the curfew boldly!"

Chu Fei: "..."

The torches on both sides shot together, and the people on both sides stopped.

Chu Fei: "..."

The two leaders looked at him hesitantly.

"His Royal Highness An?"

Chu Fei: "..."
