Chapter 70 Daughter-slave Ning Kun!
After lunch, County Magistrate Ning Kun sent someone to wait for his wife and daughter at the city gate. After finally finishing his official business, he rushed back to the mansion.
"Hahaha, Ning'er, daddy is back. You must have missed him after being away from home for so many days."
Ning Kun happily called out to his daughter before even entering the dining room, but when he came in, he found that only his wife and son were there.
"Where's Ning'er? She hasn't come yet. I'll go to her yard and pick her up."
Ning Kun thought his daughter was late again, so he turned around and went to Ning Ning's yard to call for help.
"Dad, you'd better sit down and eat. My sister didn't come back with us."
Ning Xuan looked at his father's excited face and really couldn't bear to say these words.
"What? Didn't your father ask you to pick up your sister? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
When Ning Kun heard that his daughter didn't come back, he looked at his son with some displeasure and lost his appetite instantly. He had been looking forward to it the whole day.
Seeing her husband sitting listlessly on the chair, Cui stepped forward and explained, "Jinghuai's wife is helping Ning'er lose weight healthily. This cycle hasn't ended yet, so she will be back two days later."
"Lose weight? Ning'er is not fat, why should she lose weight?" Ning Kun muttered in a low voice.
"Dad, you don't have the final say. Ning'er thinks she is fat!" Ning Xuan felt a little gloating when he heard his father's muttering.
"Why doesn't what I said count? Do you also think Ning'er is fat? How can you think of your sister like this?"
Ning Kun got angry when he heard his son's gloating tone. The brat was born to be his nemesis and was not as caring as his daughter.
"But my sister is prettier now. If you don't believe me, ask mother." Ning Xuan had to admit that Ning Ning looked prettier after losing weight.
"Husband, Xuan'er is right. Ning'er is indeed more beautiful today, and she is very happy too."
When Cui said this, Ning Kun's attitude changed instantly. He said in a rather flattering manner, "Madam said it was beautiful, so our Ning'er must be even more beautiful."
"My dear, you've been tired all day. Eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon."
As soon as Cui spoke, Ning Kun immediately sat down and ate obediently without even looking at his son.
Ning Xuan curled his lips, took a few symbolic bites and stopped eating. The reason he was sitting here was to have dinner with his father.
Cui had eaten a lot at noon, so she was not hungry at the moment, but considering that her husband Ning Kun had worked hard all day, she still ate something with him.
"Madam, you must have worked hard visiting Ning'er today. Eat more and don't learn from him."
Seeing that his son Ning Xuan had only taken a few bites of his meal, Ning Kun looked at him unhappily and picked up some more food for his wife, fearing that Cui would be hungry.
"Husband, please eat more. Xuan'er and I ate a little too much at noon. Madam Jinghuai's cooking skills are very good." Cui still praised Qin Zhizhi's cooking skills when she thought of her.
"Is it really that delicious? Even my wife is full of praise for it."
Ning Kun was very curious when he heard Cui praising Qin Zhizhi's cooking skills. His wife had eaten a lot of delicious food in the capital, and even the chef in the mansion was brought from the capital.
"When you have the chance, my husband will try it and you will know that what I said is true."
"That might be a little difficult. I can't just go to someone's house for a meal for no reason."
Ning Kun felt that he might not have this opportunity anymore and could only regret it.
"Who said it was for no reason? Dad, you don't know yet, but today my sister worshipped Jing Huai's mother as her master. Isn't it right for you to pay her a visit?"
Ning Xuan's words were so full of information that Ning Kun was unable to react for a moment. He asked his wife, "What's going on? Why is there another master?"
"Husband, eat first. I'll tell you in detail later. Anyway, it's what's good for Ning'er. Ning'er is willing to do it."
Gu planned to tell her husband in detail later, but her own son revealed it all.
"It's good that Ning'er is willing. Madam, please talk to me in detail later." After Ning Kun finished speaking, he ate faster because he really wanted to know about his daughter.
After dinner, Ning Xuan returned to his own yard. He didn't want to be disliked by his father.
Ning Kun accompanied Cui in the yard to help digest the food.
"Madam, please tell me about my daughter's apprenticeship."
"You won't blame me for not discussing this with you in advance, will you?" Cui was so excited that she directly made her daughter a disciple.
"Madam, why do you think of me like this? How could I be someone who doesn't know right from wrong? Madam, you love Ning'er the most, and this must be for Ning'er's own good."
Ning Kun has always been grateful to Cui for accompanying him here, giving birth to children for him, and taking care of affairs in the mansion.
"I told you before that I wanted to find a master who could do double-sided embroidery for Ning'er, but I couldn't find one. Today, I accidentally discovered that Madam Gu could do it and was already teaching Ning'er, so I immediately became her apprentice."
Cui used a few simple words to explain to her husband the reason why her daughter wanted to become his disciple.
Ning Kun was extremely surprised. He had been asking people to look for it, but had not found anything satisfactory. Unexpectedly, his daughter went to the countryside and found it herself.
"It's really amazing. I didn't expect that our Ning'er found it by herself. She has a good master." Ning Kun was very happy.
"Who says she isn't? Besides, whether it's the way Madam Gu treats people or things, she doesn't seem like a country girl."
Cui spent almost a day with Gu's mother and had a very good impression of her.
"Oh, it seems that this Gu family has some background, and Jing Huai is obviously a man of great talent. He will definitely have a great future."
Ning Kun was deeply impressed by Gu Jinghuai. In addition to being his son's classmate, he also ranked first in the county and prefectural examinations.
"I'm a bit busy today. I hope my husband can find some time another day so we can visit again and pay the apprenticeship gift."
"Madam, this is a good idea. I will also go and have a meal with you and try Madam Jinghuai's cooking skills."
“It will definitely surprise you!”
"Then please prepare the apprenticeship gift as soon as possible. We will go visit him and see our daughter."
Tasting delicious food is important, but seeing the daughter is more important. Cui gave birth to three children, and the eldest son worked in the capital and had a family.
The second son is Ning Xuan, who is still studying. Ning Ning is the youngest daughter and the most favored.
Not only do she and her husband dote on her, but her two brothers also have a sister complex, and even the old lady in the family dotes on her to the utmost.
This time Ning Kun was transferred out and took Ning Ning with him. The old lady was so angry that she has ignored her son until now.
If Ning Ning had not insisted on following her parents, the old lady would have kept her in the capital.
"Oh, my dear, I found that Madam Gu looks very familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen her before."
The more Cui thought about it, the more familiar it seemed, but she just couldn't remember who it resembled.
"Maybe my son is like my mother. Madam, you have met Jing Huai several times, so you feel familiar when you look after me."
Cui thought about it and felt that it was not impossible. She smiled and said, "What you said does make sense. Maybe it is because he looks like Jing Huai. You will know the next time you see him."
"After hearing what the lady said, I became even more curious."
Ning Kun had already arranged his free time in his mind so that he could visit the Gu family as soon as possible.
