Chapter 190 Ning An Falls into the Water
Liang Mingxuan looked at his sister-in-law speechlessly.
Xu Zhichun asked, "Do your parents know about this?"
Qin Ning'an nodded: "I know, Sister Xu, don't worry and accept it."
Xu Zhichun was relieved and said okay with a smile.
The gray and black puppy looks more and more adorable the more you look at it.
As expected, Mo Tianyao and Mo Tianrui also came with Qin Ning'an. As soon as they got off the carriage, the two brothers looked around, their faces full of disgust.
Everyone was looking at the puppy, so they came over too.
Mo Tianrui laughed when he heard Xu Zhichun's question. "It's just a dog. What else does my uncle have at home? I gave it to you as a gift. Just take it. What's there to ask?"
Nanny Ji's expression faltered slightly, and she frowned slightly.
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "You guys play here for a while. I'll go wash the fruit for you and get some sunflower seeds and peanuts."
She doesn't get involved in children's affairs.
Seeing this, Nanny Ji also smiled and said, "I'll help Madam Xu."
As soon as they left, the brothers Mo Tianyao and Mo Tianrui became even more unscrupulous.
Mo Tianyao was very disdainful: "Ning An, this is the home of your classmate you've been thinking about? What's so funny about this? You've even delivered the dog, why don't we go back?"
Mo Tianrui: "That's right, home is so comfortable, we have everything we want. Cousin Ning An, let's go. My mother specifically asked the kitchen to prepare a roasted whole lamb for us to eat when we get home."
Liang Mingxuan: "You two, Ning An is the guest I invited. Isn't it a bit too much for you to snatch my guest like this in front of me, the host?"
Mo Tianrui hated Liang Mingxuan the most. It was because of him that the relationship between Ning An's cousin and the two brothers became estranged. He was young and his likes and dislikes were all shown on his face. He glared at Liang Mingxuan and said, "What do I care about you? What does it have to do with you if I talk to my cousin?"
Qin Ning'an: "Tianrui, you are so rude, apologize now."
"What? You want me to apologize?"
"Yes, Mingxuan is my friend. How could you treat him like this? If you don't apologize, I won't talk to you anymore."
Qin Ning'an kept a serious face, but inwardly he was delighted: So scolding and teaching someone a lesson feels so good? No wonder Tianyao and his aunt kept scolding him for being "ignorant" and "unmannered" and forcing him to apologize.
Mo Tianrui was so angry that he couldn't apologize. He stamped his feet and looked at his brother with grievance: "Brother!"
Mo Tianyao was also very unhappy, "Ning An, how could you help outsiders bully your own brother?"
Qin Ning'an curled his lips and said, "I am the only son of my parents. He is your brother, not mine. He is my cousin."
"It's better to be closer than to outsiders anyway."
Lu Xiaoyue sneered, "How boring! We agreed to hang out at Mingxuan's house. What does that have to do with you? You came here on your own. We didn't mind you coming uninvited, but you did. So what are you doing here? Just leave now."
Qin Ningan immediately said, "Yes, you guys can go by car. I'll go back and take Lu Xiao's car."
Liang Mingxuan: "We are from the countryside and I am afraid we can't afford to entertain you two. Please go ahead."
Mo Tianrui was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, "Bah! What's so great about that!"
Lu Xiaoyue smiled, "Of course it's amazing. Mingxuan ranked third in the children's exam. Don't you think that's amazing? Oh, by the way, considering your family background and age, it should be time for you to go to school, right? Why don't you go to the county school? Is it because you don't like it?"
Mo Tianyao and Mo Tianrui looked aggrieved and ashamed.
Liang Mingxuan suppressed his laughter.
Qin Ningan spoke directly and honestly: "How could they not like it? My father donated a library worth fifty or sixty thousand silver coins so that I could enter. My uncle was reluctant to spend so much money on them."
"Qin Ning'an!"
Mo Tianyao became angry and embarrassed.
Lu Xiaoyue laughed, "So that's how it is!"
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
Dou Zhongli, Xu Tong and Zhang Miao also came.
The three of them are one to three years older than Liang Mingxuan and the others, and they appear taller.
Once the three of them arrived, no one mentioned the previous grudge anymore.
Xu Zhichun and Nanny Ji brought out washed peaches and tomatoes, placed some melon seeds, peanuts, apricots, dried dates, etc. on the table, and took out the newly bought tea set to pour tea.
"There's nothing good in the countryside. You're all Mingxuan's friends. Since you're here, why don't you sit down and have some tea and something to eat?"
"Thank you, Sister Xu!"
"Okay, okay."
"Sister Xu's tomatoes are so sweet!"
“These fried peanuts are delicious too.”
Dou Zhongli was holding back his urge to find fault, as if he would win against Liang Mingxuan if he could do so.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is nothing to complain about Liang Mingxuan's family except that they are poor.
Mocking his poor family doesn't seem to give him any sense of superiority.
The half-grown children couldn't sit still. It was even more rare for Lu Xiaoyue and Qin Ning'an to come to a real country village, so they were very excited to walk around, and Liang Mingxuan accompanied them.
Xu Zhichun urged him to be careful, then smiled and said, "Come back for lunch around noon. I'll prepare it at home."
The Mo Tianyao brothers and Dou Zhongli were quite disdainful. They would not eat outside casually.
Liang Mingxuan agreed, and the group headed towards the edge of the village, attracting many people to watch from afar and chatter. Without exception, they were all envious. It was truly remarkable that this little prodigy could study! Look, look, the people he'd made friends with were all the sons of wealthy city families! Outside the gate to their courtyard, there was a mule cart and two horse-drawn carriages!
Xu Zhichun asked Uncle Qi Tian to take the coachman who followed him home to help take care of him. Nanny Ji and Aunt Zhu'er helped Xu Zhichun prepare lunch.
Aunt Ji was also a little surprised to see the overflowing food. She quickly said with a smile, "Mrs. Xu, you are so kind. This must be very troublesome."
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "This is Mingxuan's first time bringing a friend home. As his sister-in-law, I can't let him lose face. Besides, it's not difficult for us to afford it. My aunt Zhu'er is a very good cook. Madam, please try some at noon."
Aunt Zhuer smiled shyly.
Aunt Ji, who was older, naturally loved gentle and beautiful young women like Aunt Zhu'er. She was very fond of them and nodded with a smile: "Really? Then I must taste her!"
Aunt Zhuer smiled softly and said, "You have seen the world, please don't laugh at me."
"Haha, how could that be?"
The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon became familiar with each other.
Something big almost happened to Liang Mingxuan and his team.
As they passed by a quiet pond where everyone was watching the fish, Qin Ningan suddenly slipped and fell in, causing everyone to panic.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyue's driver Uncle Quan dived in and quickly rescued Qin Ningan.
Ever since Lu Xiaoyue got into trouble last time, there would always be someone following her whenever she went out.
She was very active and loved climbing mountains and walking through forests. Nanny Ji could not keep up with her speed. However, Uncle A Quan was a lifelong servant of the Lu family. He was steady in his work and had good skills.
Liang Mingxuan and his friends were walking and playing along the way, and Uncle A Quan followed them closely with almost no noticeable presence. When he heard someone scream and fell into the water, he rushed to rescue the person.
Fortunately, he rescued Qin Ning'an in time. He was coughing and vomiting water when he was rescued to the shore, but he was still fine.
It was a false alarm.
Mo Tianrui suddenly pushed Liang Mingxuan hard, trying to push him into the pool. If Uncle Quan had not been so busy that he could quickly grab Liang Mingxuan's arm, Liang Mingxuan would have been pushed in.
Lu Xiaoyue was very angry: "What are you doing!"
