Chapter 325 Ning Sheng returns to Beijing!
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work in serving mother in the capital all these years!"
Ning Sheng patted his younger brother's shoulder. He couldn't serve his mother all the time, and it was thanks to his second younger brother who had been filial to his mother over the years.
"Compared to my brother's hardship in the northwest, my life here is nothing compared to it. Let's go home!"
Ning Kun was very grateful to his elder brother in his heart, because it was because of his elder brother's efforts that he could live so safely in the capital.
The current Ning family is the result of the joint protection of the brothers. It is not a home without any one of them.
"Okay, let's go home!"
Ning Sheng, a man who shed blood but not tears on the battlefield, was also moved at this moment. Home is such a warm place.
The group set out from the city gate and headed towards Ning Mansion. Ning Sheng's mood became increasingly restless, and he finally returned home.
Old Madam Ning sent people to guard the gate of the mansion early in the morning.
The servants saw the Ning family's carriage from afar and rushed to the old lady's yard to announce the good news.
Old Madam Ning dressed herself up particularly smartly today, wearing clothes made of the fabric that the Emperor had rewarded her eldest son with for his victory in battle.
She was anxiously waiting for her eldest son to come home early in the morning.
Seeing the servants rushing in in a panic, Old Madam Ning immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "But the master is back."
"Madam, the general's carriage is already at the corner of the street," the servant replied happily.
"Alan, quickly send someone to the kitchen to tell them to make more of the dishes that Master likes."
When the old lady heard that her eldest son had returned, she quickly ordered the maid to go to the kitchen and prepare more dishes that her eldest son liked.
The old lady called Alan by the old lady was her dowry maid, and she also watched Ning Sheng and Ning Kun grow up.
She had already reached the age of retirement, but she was unwilling to leave her young lady, so she stayed with the old lady.
"Miss, the mistress ordered the kitchen to prepare it early in the morning, and the snacks that the master likes to eat are also ready."
Alan replied happily that she was also very happy that Ning Sheng was back.
"Hurry up and wait at the door to welcome the master back to the mansion. Miss, don't get excited. Sit down and rest for a while. The master is filial and will come to see you as soon as he returns home."
Alan sent his servants to the door to welcome Ning Sheng and his party, while at the same time he did not forget to persuade the old lady.
"Alan, I can't help but get excited. As long as the boss is on the battlefield, I can't let go of him."
Madam Ning is old now and just hopes that her family will live in peace. Although there has been no war in recent years, she is still uneasy.
"Miss, the master is a blessed man, don't worry."
Alan was also worried about Ning Sheng, but he still persuaded the old lady.
"You're right, the boss is a lucky man, he will definitely be able to turn danger into safety!"
The old lady's words seemed to comfort Alan, but also seemed to comfort herself.
"Let's go to the gate of the yard to greet the boss!"
The old lady could no longer sit still. Her eldest son, whom she missed and worried about every day, came home.
"Hey, miss, let me support you! Let's walk slowly!"
Alan personally supported the old lady, and the master and servant walked out.
Alan is now an old lady, and staying with her young lady is actually a way for her to take care of herself in her old age.
She has been with her young lady all her life. If she leaves her young lady, she doesn't know what else she can do.
The old lady was reluctant to let her go, so she kept her by her side to chat with her and relieve her boredom.
The work of serving the old lady was done by other servants, and Alan was a special person around the old lady.
The old lady doted on her, and Alan was passionate and outspoken when she was young. Even after Madam Ning and Master Ning got married, Alan still called her Miss.
The children of the Ning family also respect her very much.
As soon as Madam Ning and Alan walked to the gate of the yard, they ran into Ning Sheng and his group.
Ning Sheng was so excited when he saw his mother that he knelt down and kowtowed to Old Madam Ning on the spot, "Mother, the unfilial son is back!"
When Mrs. Ning looked at her son in front of her, tears suddenly flowed down her face. She was so happy and excited about the reunion that she helped her son up herself.
"Hurry up, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
"Mom, it's windy outside. Let me help you inside and we can talk."
Ning Sheng supported his mother and the group entered the old lady's yard. After everyone sat down, the maid quickly brought up his favorite pastries.
"Master, the young lady asked the kitchen to make this early in the morning. Come and try it!"
Alan personally brought a plate of pastries and placed it on the table next to Ning Sheng. These were Ning Sheng’s favorite pastries.
Ning Sheng was touched and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother, and thank you, Aunt Lan."
"Try it. If you don't like it, I'll ask the chef to make something else."
Old Madam Ning was afraid that her eldest son's taste had changed during the years he was away from home and he no longer liked the cakes he made before.
Ning Sheng looked at his mother's expectant eyes, picked up a piece of cake, put it to his mouth, took a bite, and the familiar taste made his eyes red.
“It’s delicious, just like before!”
Seeing that her son liked the food, the old lady finally felt relieved and said happily, "It's delicious. Eat more. There's more in the kitchen."
"Thank you, Mom!" Ning Sheng ate happily.
"You have suffered a lot in the Northwest over the years."
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but feel sorry for her son. The Northwest is poor, and her son has been living there all year round. He must not be as comfortable as he is in the capital.
"Mom, the Northwest is great. Ever since Ning'er bought chili peppers, spicy peanuts, bamboo shoots, sausages, and other things from her friends, our lives have improved a lot. Especially those recipes have been a great help to us."
Ning Sheng was very excited when talking about this. Their food has improved a lot now.
"What Ning'er's friend? Her name is Qin Zhizhi. She's the third child in the Qin family, Qingyun's third sister, the wife of Gu Zhuangyuan, and a county lady appointed by the emperor."
"Husband, it was Zhizhi who requested the amethyst this time, and it was she who suggested hiring those soldiers who couldn't go to the battlefield."
"And the idea of building a cement road was also her idea. Xuan'er originally suggested building it in the northwest first, and Zhizhi agreed without hesitation."
.....
The Ning family members were talking to each other, and Ning Sheng was dumbfounded. How could this young lady be so powerful?
"Uncle, why don't I take you to see Sister Zhizhi tomorrow so she can check whether this batch of amethysts is up to standard."
Ning Ning saw that her uncle was almost dumbfounded and wanted to laugh, but her sister Zhizhi was worth it, so she wanted to introduce her uncle and sister Zhizhi to each other.
Because Sister Zhizhi and Uncle are both people with great ambitions.
"Okay, I also have some questions to ask you, so I'll trouble you Ning'er."
Ning Sheng agreed readily. He had seen the plan Qin Zhizhi had given him before, and he had wanted to meet Qin Zhizhi for a long time.
"Then let's go tomorrow. Sister Zhizhi is pregnant now, so let's go visit the Gu family directly."
Ning Ning originally wanted to ask Qin Zhizhi out, but thinking of little Tuanzi Nian Nian, she decided to visit directly at the mansion.
"Is it appropriate to go directly to the mansion?" Ning Sheng looked at his family with some uncertainty.
"Let Xuan go with you. He is a classmate of Gu Zhuangyuan and also knows Mrs. Gu."
Old Madam Ning felt that it would be most appropriate for Ning Xuan and Ning Ning to accompany her eldest son to the Gu Mansion.
"Sons always listen to their mothers."
Ning Sheng felt that his mother's arrangement must have made sense. He had just returned to Beijing and didn't quite understand these things, but it was right to listen to his mother.
