Chapter 327: Visiting the Gu Mansion (Ning Sheng Wants to Give a Dowry to His Niece!)
General Ning was impressed by his niece's husband's appearance the first time he saw him.
The Ning family has a common characteristic: they are obsessed with looks. Before, Ning Sheng thought that scholars were weak, but the moment he saw Qin Qingyun, the only thing in his mind was...
"Wow, he and Ning'er are such a perfect match. How beautiful will their future children be? What a great niece-in-law!"
Ning Sheng became more and more excited the more he thought about it, until the carriage stopped and Qin Qingyun stepped forward to salute, Ning Sheng came back to his senses.
The Qin family members are all of above-average height, and they are handsome. Moreover, Qin Qingyun was used to doing farm work in the countryside, so he doesn't look weak at all.
On the contrary, he gives people the feeling of being sunny, handsome, gentle and full of security.
Ning Sheng gave his niece a thumbs up in his heart. She was worthy of being his most beloved niece. She had a good eye for choosing a husband. He accepted this niece-in-law.
"Qingyun greets uncle and second brother. My sister asked me to take you to the mansion."
Qin Qingyun was actually unsure when he met Ning Sheng for the first time. Although he had never met Ning Sheng before, he still knew a little about him.
The most favorite thing for a scholar to do is to do homework, especially when the student’s uncle is his fiancée.
At this moment, he was somewhat nervous while paying his respects to Ning Sheng. He was afraid that Ning Sheng would not like him and Ning'er would be embarrassed.
"We'll be a family soon. Don't be polite, and don't be nervous. I will respect Ning'er's choice of the one she chooses."
Ning Sheng pretended to cough twice, trying to make his tone sound gentle, for fear that he would be too loud and scare Qin Qingyun.
After all, my wife repeatedly told me before I left that if I met my niece's husband, I should behave nicely, otherwise I would go back and deal with him.
Qin Qingyun is someone that all the elders in the Ning family are happy with. The eldest lady is afraid that her husband will do something stupid and cause unnecessary trouble because he loves his niece too much.
Qin Qingyun didn't expect Ning Sheng to be so kind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, uncle. Please come in!"
Qin Qingyun led the way and the group walked into the mansion.
In the reception room, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai were waiting here early. Today was Qin Zhizhi's home game, and Gu Jinghuai was only responsible for accompanying his wife and taking care of his daughter.
When Qin Qingyun brought Ning Sheng and others in, Ning Sheng saw that it was Gu Jing holding the child in his arms and Qin Zhizhi teasing the child, both of them laughing happily.
Qin Zhizhi saw several people coming in and warmly invited them to sit down. Ning Ning chatted with Qin Zhizhi as if she was at home, and even snatched Gu Nian from Gu Jinghuai.
Qin Zhizhi's face was full of doting, and Gu Jinghuai also looked helpless. Looking at the tone of his nephew's conversation with the others, their relationship was better than he had imagined.
Qin Zhizhi noticed Ning Sheng's slight surprise and said with a smile, "General Ning, being here feels like being at home. We are all family here."
"Thank you, County Master!"
"General Ning, you're being too formal. If you don't mind, just call me Zhizhi like Uncle Ning."
Qin Zhizhi smiled sincerely. Ning Sheng was also a simple-minded person. He smiled and said, "Well, then, niece Zhizhi, please don't call me General Ning anymore. It's too formal. Just call me uncle like Ning'er."
"Hello, Uncle Ning. Your niece is polite!" Qin Zhizhi treated Ning Sheng with the courtesy of a junior. Ning Sheng was happy. He didn't expect Qin Zhizhi to be such a polite and generous woman.
"Uncle, Sister Zhizhi, you are so kind!"
Ning Ning was really happy to see that the two of them were so harmonious when they met for the first time.
"Uncle Ning, please take a rest first and try the tea in the mansion. We will talk about the amethyst stone later."
The servants brought in tea and snacks. Qin Zhizhi invited Ning Sheng to try the tea in the mansion. She thought that everyone should get familiar with each other first and then talk about things slowly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Niece Zhizhi. The soldiers really liked the novel food you sent us before. I want to thank you very much, Niece Zhizhi."
Speaking of this, Ning Sheng had endless things to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"If Uncle Ning doesn't mind, why don't you have lunch at the mansion and try the cooking skills of the chef there?"
Qin Zhizhi didn't expect Ning Sheng to praise the food so much, so she decided to keep him at home for lunch.
"Sorry to bother you then!"
Ning Sheng inexplicably felt that he would regret it if he didn't stay for lunch today, so he agreed.
"It's not a bother at all. I welcome you all here. Qingliu, go tell the kitchen to prepare all the dishes that Ning'er and the Second Young Master like, and make a few more dishes to entertain General Ning."
"I'll go right away!"
Qingliu received Qin Zhizhi's order and went to the kitchen in person. She knew clearly what the young lady said and had to explain it clearly to the kitchen to avoid making any mistakes.
"Uncle, thanks to you, we are so lucky to have such a delicious meal today!"
"That's great! Mom hasn't allowed me to eat so much lately, so today I can finally feast on my food."
Ning Xuan and Ning Ning were the happiest. The delicious dish Qin Zhizhi mentioned was definitely a delicious dish, and absolutely delicious.
Seeing his niece and nephew so excited, Ning Sheng couldn't help but look forward to it too.
In the following time, Ning Xuan, Ning Ning, and Qin Qingyun took Gu Nian to the children's room to play.
Gu Jinghuai accompanied his wife and listened to her talk with General Ning about matters related to amethyst, especially mining, transportation and personnel placement.
Gu Jinghuai occasionally interjected and gave useful suggestions, and Ning Sheng was full of admiration. This couple was truly one more capable than the other.
After Ning Sheng raised some problems that had been bothering him, Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai solved them in a few words.
The few of them were chatting happily until Ning Ning came back with little Tuanzi. Qin Zhizhi knew that little Tuanzi wanted to be fed, so she took little Tuan back to the dormitory to feed him.
Although Qin Zhizhi left temporarily, the remaining few people were still chatting happily.
Ning Sheng discovered that not only Gu Jinghuai and Qin Zhizhi were powerful, but Qin Qingyun was also not to be outdone.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why the Ning family wanted to marry into the Qin family. In addition to their outstanding appearance, they were also well-educated.
Qin Zhizhi coaxed the little girl to sleep and asked the maid to watch over her while she took Qingliu back to the front hall.
The servant came to announce that lunch was ready, so a group of people went to the dining room.
There were no outsiders today, everyone was family, so there was no separate table. Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan exchanged some good wine to entertain General Ning.
Ning Sheng praised the wine highly and the food was even more amazing. Gu Jinghuai was not good at drinking, so he toasted Ning Sheng with a few glasses of tea instead of wine. Qin Qingyun had a decent alcohol tolerance and drank a lot with Ning Sheng.
During the time it took to eat a meal, Ning Sheng went from wanting to teach his niece how to beat her husband to wanting to ask the Qin family whether his niece could include her uncle as a dowry when she got married.
Qin Qingyun was a little confused by Ning Sheng's sudden enthusiasm, but as the uncle of the woman he loved, what could he do but pamper her.
Ning Sheng was slightly drunk, so Qin Qingyun and Ning Xuan personally helped him to the guest room to rest.
After comforting Ning Sheng, Ning Xuan felt a little dizzy, so he rested in the room with his uncle.
Qin Qingyun ordered his servants to take good care of the two of them, and then he went to find Ning Ning.
He missed her little girl!
