Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 131: I Meet You Again During the Lantern Festival

As night falls and the lights come on, the streets become bustling with more and more people.

Ning Shujun asked someone to find a high place so that they could watch the scene from a higher place.

"Hey, river lanterns, there are river lanterns!" June was watching with great interest, and when he saw many people releasing river lanterns, he jumped out of the window.

"This girl" Ning Shujun had a headache, so she asked most of the people who followed her to look for that girl. She had been feeling uneasy in recent days.

Looking at the dark mountains in the distance, she was a little lost. One place was peaceful, while the other was bustling. One place was plunged into darkness, while this place was brightly lit, as bright as day.

"Princess, the young lady has disappeared in the crowd! We are searching everywhere."

"I don't need anyone here. Find the girl, but don't capture her. Persuade her with kind words. If she doesn't listen, tell her that if she doesn't come back before the appointed time, re-copy the poems she wrote that day."

"obey"

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhiqi was a little worried about the crowds of people here. Seeing Ning Shujun stand up, she asked, "Princess, it's getting late. Do you want to go back home?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" She also wanted to go for a walk. She had always gone to the lantern festival with that man before, but now she had to go alone.

The sight of a bunch of colorful lanterns is dazzling.

Seeing a palace lantern hanging high up with a picture of Chang'e flying to the moon, it was very beautiful, so Ning Shujun asked Zhiqi to buy it.

A gust of wind blew, and many people could not bear it. Several children chased each other and ran around in the crowd. She wanted to take a walk, but she was bumped into in the chaos for the whole afternoon. The crowd was in chaos.

I turned around and didn’t know where I was. “It turns out that I can get lost very easily. It’s really true.”

Ning Shujun walked alone relying on her memory, and she became confused. She took out the mirror, which was a mess of pieces.

"It's useless, useless." She had broken the mirror before, glued it together randomly, and didn't care much about it.

It's cold today, Ning Shujun rubbed her hands. If she had known earlier, she would have listened to Zhiqi and worn more clothes.

Suddenly there was a sound of someone falling into the water, and several servants ran away. Only a woman on the shore was anxious and wanted to catch the person who fell into the water. She found a piece of wood.

Ning Shujun looked carefully and saw that the two people were the two sisters from the Cheng family that day.

The man struggled anxiously in the water, and the person on the shore lost his balance and almost fell into the water.

Fortunately, Ning Shujun took action and she was saved.

Then she flew over and fished the person out. The beautiful woman from that day was now shaking like a quail.

"Where are your followers?"

"Hahaha, I heard about a drowning dog in the past, but now I see a beauty emerging from the water. It's really a different kind of experience!"

A dandy young man couldn't stop grinning, and it seemed that he had a grudge against the two sisters.

"Who is this?"

"This is the eldest son of Minister Ye's family." It was clear who the servants were following now.

"Comer"

After shouting a few times, I remembered that I had lost myself.

"Hahaha, you really think you're so great that you can get a lot of responses if you call for help!"

Others followed suit and jeered, "What a silly look!"

A flying stone came from the dark, knocking out the son of the minister's family. "Who, come out!"

Then they counted the flying stones and several people were beaten away. “Just wait for me.”

"Who is it?" At that moment, she was very excited, but when she turned around and looked around, there was nothing, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Cheng Sisi was anxious and cried and shook Cheng Sijie, "Sijie, Sijie"

Ning Shujun squatted down to feel Cheng Sijie's pulse and said, "She just caught a cold and needs to keep warm. Where is your home?"

The two of them supported Cheng Sijie, and after they left, a man walked out from behind a tree in the dark with a crystal earring in his hand. It was the one that Ning Shujun had dropped on the ground just now.

After sending the two sisters back, Zhiqi found her.

Back home, Zhiqi ordered people to prepare hot water and ginger soup to help Ning Shujun get rid of the cold. Liu Yue rushed over and said, "Master, why are you back so late!"

"As a teacher, you are brave and chivalrous!"

"Miss, don't say that the princess was enjoying the cool breeze and went into the water to save people."

Ning Shujun has been taking care of Zhiqi these days, and sometimes she feels that she is too pampered.

The next morning, she felt dizzy and was indeed not feeling well.

"What's going on?" Mei Zi said worriedly, "I've never seen you so kind before. No one said they would send you back, but Zhiqi picked you up. Now no one has come to thank you. The Cheng family is really amazing."

I've been nagging for the whole morning, and my headache is getting worse. "Stop talking, my head is going to explode. It's probably because of the cold wind that my brain isn't working properly!"

"You still know!" Mei Zi picked up the medicine, turned around and saw the person lying on his side.

"Get up and take medicine" It was useless no matter how much Ning Shujun shouted. She curled up in the quilt and refused to come out.

"Never mind. I've been worrying about this for nothing. Drink it if you want."

Mei Zi went out and saw Zhi Qi asking: "Mrs. Mei, the princess..."

"She won't die, no need to boil medicine for her!"

"This..." Zhiqi looked at the boiled medicine and it had already gone cold.

After two days of regulating her breathing, her health improved. Ning Shujun missed Chen'er because she was sick these days, but she was turned away.

"Open the door," she knocked.

"Why are you wandering around when you're not well? My son can't stand your torture," Mei Zi said in the house.

Ning Shujun claimed that she was still fine, but was still turned away.

I was bored and just wandered around. At this moment, I heard a sound.

The following scene was quite comical, with a group of people pushing and shoving each other and several servants trying to stop them.

"We want to see the princess and ask her for her opinion!"

Ning Shujun didn't understand why so many people came to the mansion to cause trouble. "Who are these people?"

The maid beside her responded: "It's the young master of Dongyuan"

"How does the housekeeper do things?" Ning Shujun thought that Uncle Lu was efficient and clean, but she didn't expect that there were things he couldn't do well.

"They were found by the princess, so they are half the masters. The housekeeper dare not neglect them!"

"I see." It turned out to be the previous eight. Come to think of it, Ning Shujun also felt very comfortable in this position. She did not have to worry about anything and could easily get rewards and fiefdoms.

No wonder her cheap master sighed that it was quite strange that Ning Shujun didn't even ask him for anything.

Presumably, those eight people also spent some heavenly days in this mansion. Ning Shujun walked forward with her arms folded as if she was watching a good show.

"What's the matter, everyone? You're making such a fuss, I would have thought I was slaughtering pigs at my house!"

"This"

"Meet the Princess"

Those people then realized that the woman in front of them was the person they had been clamoring to see.

"Meet the Princess"

"Stand up and answer!" Ning Shujun was also good-tempered, "But did the housekeeper embarrass you in private?"

These people all had pretty faces, and looked like weak and frail scholars. When Ning Shujun looked at them, they became obedient.

"It's all that Uncle Lu's fault. He said the princess wanted to drive me away. I haven't seen the princess for many days. I miss her so much that I can't eat or drink."

The others quickly agreed, "After meeting the princess today, I will die without regrets!"

"Yes, I will never leave the house even if I die!" He was about to bang his head against the wall.

Ning Shujun didn't let anyone stop him, and the leader who was leading the charge really hit the wall on the spot, and was still calling her before he fainted.

"Please ask the doctor to go, and you guys go back!" Ning Shujun sighed, why bother doing this?

"Princess, Princess." One of them ran forward hurriedly, but Ning Shujun was not interested. Zhiqi gave him a look and the man shrank his neck.

Ning Shujun walked around and then sat leisurely in the garden. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and snowflakes fell.

The world was quiet. Ning Shujun sat around the fire, intending to enjoy the snow for a while.

A melodious melody came into my ears from not far away. It was a clear and bright tune. After listening for a long time, I realized that it was a piece of music that matched the snow scene very well. Ning Shujun then asked Zhiqi to call the person playing the piano.

The person came soon, but he was holding a pipa, and he looked cold and sick, probably because he took medicine regularly. Ning Shujun saw that the snow was heavy, so she invited him to watch the snow with her.

Ning Shujun asked, "How should I address you?"

"He Xuan"

"Sit down," Ning Shujun gestured.

"Thank you, Princess"

Zhiqi ordered someone to put down the stove, put in everything, and then stepped aside.

"Are you from Dongyuan?"

"Yes, Princess!" He would stand up every time he answered.

Ning Shujun felt embarrassed by such politeness, "No need to be so."

"Thank you, Princess. It's snowing today. I just felt that the New Year is coming, so I played a song. I didn't mean to disturb you!"

Ning Shujun drank her tea and didn't reply to him.

After a while, he asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Five years, four months and twelve days"

"Long enough to form a habit!"

During the chat, she learned that this man was a weak son of the He family. The He family was a family of generals and had only this one child, and he was a sickly one at that.

But this boy is only about the same age as June, so he must be only a few years old when he comes here. Thinking of this, Ning Shujun couldn't help but cover her head.

Let’s see the situation first. If this person is good, it would be good for him to be a playmate for June.

Ning Shujun felt pity for him and said, "You play the pipa well, can you play a song for me?"

“Happy to help”

Halfway through the performance, He Xuan was weak and his breathing was unstable, so he almost fainted.

Out of kindness, Ning Shujun took his pulse and gave him treatment. After a few injections of silver needles, he calmed down.

"Thank you Princess for the rescue."

Ning Shujun waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. Since you're feeling unwell, take care of yourself and go down!"

At this moment, it was still white outside, and a touch of red seemed particularly dazzling. He Xuan, who came out, was startled by the snow flying down in a panic.

Liu Yue quickly apologized, "I'm sorry," and pulled the man up. The man was much taller than her, but he looked very frail. "Why are you so weak? Are you made of wicks?"

When she heard Ning Shujun calling her, she ran into the pavilion and hugged Ning Shujun, "Master, Master, what are you doing outside in the snow?"

"I was admiring the snow, but a red plum blossom was particularly dazzling."

June learned a poem this morning and thought it was fun to fish in the lonely river. Coincidentally, it snowed in the afternoon, so she went to the river.

"Hongmei, where are you?" It was all white outside and there was no sign of Hongmei.

"Ah, Master, you lied to me." He hugged Ning Shujun's neck and shook her.

Ning Shujun asked helplessly: "Where are the people following you?"

When June mentioned this, she shrugged and said in disdain: "They are too slow, and they are still behind!"

Zhiqi brought a cup of hot tea to "Miss" June

"Thank you Sister Zhiqi"

After finishing her tea, June talked about what she saw today. She saw a crane in the mountains. She chased it, but it disappeared. June said that it was the first time she saw such a beautiful bird. If the master saw it, he would be happy too.

The guard who followed him just came back. Liu Yue complained, "Where's my fish?"

Ning Shujun looked at these people, all covered in snow, and thought that this girl was the only one who was not afraid of the wind and snow in the heavy snow. After all, she had a family heirloom on her to keep out the cold. But it was difficult for the people who followed her.

"Go back!"

"Yes"
