This wooden bucket is already heavy, and a bucket that is frequently soaked in water is even heavier. Moreover, now that Ningbao has filled the bucket with seafood, its weight is extraordinary.
When Ningbao saw her older brother "steal" her wooden bucket, she couldn't resist wanting to go up and get closer to him.
"Brother, who are you?"
Zhou Mingcheng looked at Ning Bao while carrying the wooden bucket.
"Hello little sister, my name is Zhou Mingcheng, I am thirteen years old, and I am your third senior brother's cousin."
"Hello, Brother Mingcheng. My name is Mu Wanning, and my nickname is Ningbao. You can just call me Ningbao." Ningbao smiled sincerely at Zhou Mingcheng.
The two walked forward while talking, Ning Bao having long forgotten about her two senior brothers.
The group walked ahead, and the carriages followed behind.
Upon reaching the entrance of the manor, Shen Junshan, who had come out of the manor, took the wooden bucket from Zhou Mingcheng and carried it inside.
Ning Bao belatedly stopped in her tracks.
"Wait a minute, didn't my senior brother go to pick up the patient?"
"Third senior brother, where is aunt?"
I remember the eldest brother went to pick up the third brother's aunt, right?
Third Senior Brother's aunt is Ning Bao's aunt. Has Third Senior Brother's aunt arrived yet?
Just then, Su Jingshu's carriage stopped at the entrance of the manor, and Su Jingshu stepped off the carriage with the help of Zhou Mingxin and the maids and servants.
Su Jingshu fell in love with Ning Bao at first sight.
"What an adorable little girl! You must be Yuanzhi's junior sister, right?"
Hello, I'm your aunt!
Ning Bao quickly stood up straight and properly.
Hello, Auntie.
"Auntie, I'm my third senior brother's junior sister. My name is Mu Wanning, and my nickname is Ningbao."
Ning Bao paused for a moment, looking at Su Jing Shu…
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat when she saw her third senior brother's aunt...
Wanting to get close, wanting to escape...
Ning Bao steadied herself and gave Su Jingshu a serious look.
Um!
Maybe it's because my aunt is so beautiful!
Su Jingshu gave her personal nanny a wink, and the nanny, very astutely, took out a small wooden box from the carriage.
Su Jingshu took out two small gold butterfly-shaped hairpins from the wooden box and gently placed them on Ningbao's little bun.
“I bought this by chance a while ago. Since we don’t have any girls at home, I never gave it to Ningbao as a gift. I gave it to Ningbao as a little trinket. This little butterfly looks really good on Ningbao’s head.”
Gold?
She could see clearly when her aunt took it out; the two little butterflies were made of gold and looked quite heavy on her head.
Ning Bao frowned, looking troubled.
She likes gold!
But it doesn't seem appropriate to accept such an expensive gift on the first meeting with my aunt.
Now that her aunt has already put it on for her, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for her to say she doesn't want it?
I like it but can't return it...
Ningbao, quick-witted, reached into her ever-present handbag, rummaged around, and pulled out a large ginseng root, handing it to Su Jingshu without hesitation.
"Thank you, Auntie. Ningbao loves the flower butterfly very much."
This is a gift from Ningbao to my aunt. I'll go to the back mountain later to catch some pheasant for her and make ginseng soup. Drinking more ginseng soup will help my aunt get better.
Although Su Jingshu is not a doctor, she is the eldest daughter of the Su family, the richest merchant family in Jiangnan, and the princess of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. She has seen countless ginsengs.
She could tell at a glance that the ginseng in Ning Bao's hand was no ordinary product.
Su Jingshu quickly pushed Ningbao's little hand towards her handbag.
"Ningbao, quickly put it away, it's far too valuable."
Ning Bao glanced at the ginseng in her hand.
“Auntie, the ginseng was a gift from Ningbao to you when we first met. Ningbao can’t accept it…”
Ning Bao stubbornly pushed the ginseng back towards Su Jingshu.
Ning Bao was naturally strong, while Su Jing Shu was naturally weak. Even with servants supporting her, Su Jing Shu still staggered a little...
