Chapter 691 Ning Zhixiang

As the weather warmed up, people were more willing to go out, and the capital city seemed more prosperous. Restaurants and teahouses were always full, and shops were bustling with people.

Zhulan led her daughter out of the carriage, and Rongchuan got out of the carriage behind. Zhulan pointed to the snack shop opposite and said, "Go buy some snacks. We'll be out soon after we've selected the fabrics."

Rong Chuan saw that the cloth shop was full of women, so he responded, "Auntie, I bought some snacks and will wait for you in the teahouse diagonally opposite."

Zhulan looked at the many people in the cloth shop and estimated that they would not be able to get out for a while, so she said, "Okay."

Xue Han walked into the shop and looked around, "Mom, there are materials here that are not available in Jinzhou."

The shop assistants in the capital all have good eyes, especially when it comes to the quality of accessories. When they saw that it was a young lady from an official family, they smiled and said, "These are the latest fabrics. Although our shop cannot be said to be the largest in the capital, I dare say that it must be the most complete."

Xue Han's eyes lit up a little. Girls still love beauty, especially those who have a lover. She saw the goose yellow material at a glance, "Mom, look."

Zhulan looked in the direction her lady was looking and her eyes lit up. She looked around and saw that the main colors for this summer were all relatively bright.

The cloth shop clerk said, "This is new material. Miss, you have a good eye."

Xue Han walked over. There were a few people choosing materials in front of the curtain shop. The shopkeeper was introducing the materials to a woman wearing a women's headdress, and was very attentive.

Xue Han took the goose yellow fabric and the clerk said, "This fabric is selling well. It arrived yesterday and now there is only one piece left."

The more Xue Han looked at it, the more she liked it. She couldn't even look at any other material.

At this time, the woman next to him also stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Can you give it to me?"

Xue Han glanced at the woman, who was still smiling and had no intention of letting go. Xue Han glanced at the jewelry in the woman's hair, smiled, and let go, "Okay."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, as he didn't want to offend anyone as a businessman, especially in the capital. Although the girl was young, no one knew whose relative she was. But he couldn't offend the woman in front of him. Fortunately, the lady agreed.

The woman smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "I want both of them."

The shopkeeper motioned to the waiter to pick it up, and then said, "I'll send it to Ningfu for you later."

The woman nodded and then walked away.

The shopkeeper personally escorted her out the door, and when he came back he hurriedly asked with a smile, "Which piece of fabric do you like, young lady?"

Xue Han had already lost interest in buying, and shook her head with a smile, "No need, go ahead and do your work."

Zhulan has already chosen the material. She just saw the situation in front of the lady. She believes that the lady can handle it. She has been training Xuehan for a long time. The material is wrapped. Zhulan walked over and said, "Rongchuan has been waiting for a while. Let's go."

Xue Han smiled and said, "Okay."

The purchased cloth had been delivered to the carriage, and Zhulan took the lady to the teahouse. As soon as she entered the door, Zhulan felt the lady pulling her clothes.

Zhulan asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Han whispered, "Mom, the woman just now."

Zhulan took a closer look and it was true. She was particularly concerned. She heard the Ning Mansion clearly and saw that the woman was not very old. She should be the niece-in-law of Lord Ning.

Zhulan brought her daughter to find Rongchuan, and Rongchuan stood up, "Auntie, have you bought it?"

Zhulan nodded, "We've bought it, let's go."

Rong Chuan could tell at a glance that Xue Han had lost the interest she had just left the house. He calmly withdrew his gaze, slightly staggered his steps and walked beside Xue Han, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xue Han shook her head, "Nothing."

She was not unhappy because her material was snatched away. This was very normal in the capital where the powerful and wealthy gathered. She was just feeling depressed because she didn't get the thing she liked at first sight.

However, Xue Han couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. Only because Rong Chuan understood her could he see her emotions at a glance.

Zhulan walked in front and felt the footsteps getting farther and farther away from her. She thought to herself, she is such a superfluous person!

Zhulan thought it was a coincidence today. As soon as she walked out of the teahouse, she saw Lord Ning getting off the carriage. She hurriedly greeted him, "Lord."

Ning Xu was surprised to see Rong Chuan. He went to meet his second nephew today, but he didn't expect to meet Rong Chuan. Rong Chuan had been staying in the mansion since he returned to Beijing. It would be difficult for him to meet him by chance, and it was not easy for him to invite Zhou Changlian too often.

It’s a pity to know Rongchuan went out today. He already had an appointment, and now there is an unexpected surprise.

Ning Xu smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence today."

Ning Xu was answering while looking at Rong Chuan and Miss Zhou in front of him. Although he had seen Miss Zhou's portrait, she was more beautiful in real life than in the portrait. The two of them standing together were really a good match. Even he, who didn't have a wife, could feel the intimacy between the two of them. Childhood sweethearts just look different.

Zhulan thought to herself that it was indeed a coincidence. The capital is quite big, and you can run into him whenever you go out. Just now, Lord Ning did not control his emotions, and she felt pleasantly surprised. It was really an unexpected encounter. "Lord Ning, please come in."

Xue Han felt Lord Ning's scrutiny, but she stood still calmly, openly and honestly. There was nothing she couldn't see, and she didn't have anything to feel guilty about. Even though she knew Rong Chuan's background was not simple, as long as Rong Chuan stood by her side, she had enough courage to face the unknown future with Rong Chuan.

Zhulan made way for him. It would not be good to stand at the door of the teahouse without moving.

Ning Xu knew it was not good, but unfortunately he was not in a good position to invite Rongchuan and his party. After all, there were women here. He could only say to Rongchuan: "Let's have tea together next time if there is a chance."

Just as Rong Chuan was about to reply, a voice came from behind him, "Third Uncle."

Rongchuan listened and made way. A pale-faced man stood behind him. It was obvious at a glance that the man was weak.

Lord Ning asked, "Zhixiang, why did you come out?"

Ning Zhixiang replied, "My nephew heard my uncle's voice inside. After waiting for a while, my uncle didn't come in, so I came out to greet him. Uncle, who is this?"

Lord Ning introduced with a smile, "This is this year's third place winner."

Ning Zhixiang's eyes dimmed a little. His health did not allow him to take the imperial examination, even though he was a good student. "I have always wanted to see the style of the top scholar. Today I see that he is indeed a young talent."

Rong Chuan looked at the man in front of him. He looked a bit like him, but not very much. He smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Ning Xu laughed, "Rongchuan deserves it, he deserves it."

Ning Zhixiang choked. He was actually being polite, but what did Third Uncle mean? He was so happy, as if he were his own child.

Zhulan looked up at the sky in silence, she had become a background board, but Lord Ning was in a very happy mood, it didn't seem a good idea to ask to leave at this time!
