Chapter 215 Discovering the Secret in the Study

The next day, the weather was fine.

Shen Ningning asked Jiang Zhi and Chen Ye to follow her and drove the carriage straight to the capital.

Jiang Zhi saw Shen Ningning's serious face, so she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Sister Ningning, are you going to fight? Who will you hit? I'll hit you wherever you point!"

Shen Ningning was stunned, and then she chuckled.

"You misunderstood! I'm thinking about what I need to buy later."

"We are just going to buy things? Then just tell me and I'll do it for you."

Shen Ningning shook her head: "There are too many things to buy, I'm afraid you can't carry them all by yourself."

Jiang Zhi laughed, casual and heroic.

"How could that be? You underestimated me too much."

After a while, Jiang Zhi found that she had said it too early.

She underestimated the desire to buy that broke out in the body of Shen Ningning, a little kid.

Shen Ningning took her and Chen Ye to the capital and went straight to the clothing store.

The little girl pointed at the shelf: "I want to buy all the coats, as many as you want."

The coat cloth is rolled up in long strips, and the clothes are cut as many as you want.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard her come in with such a big mouth: "All? Miss, this is not a joke."

Shen Ningning slapped the silver note of 500 taels.

"Brother Chen, Brother Jiang, come here, move all the coat cloth to the carriage."

The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the silver note of 100 taels and checked the ticket number.

After confirming that it was real, he smiled happily: "I will help Miss move it together."

Five hundred taels, bought ten rolls of coat cloth, and there was still a shortfall of 20 taels of size, so the shopkeeper gave half a arm's length of brocade.

After putting everything on the carriage, Shen Ningning took Chen Ye and Jiang Zhi and went straight to the winter clothing store.

Almost everything was bought.

Finished cotton coats, thick hats, cotton shoes, and four bear skins that the shopkeeper had kept in the bottom of the box were all taken away, spending 800 taels of silver.

After that, he went to several shops and bought nearly 200 quilts and quilts, which cost another 600 taels.

Fox fur and mink fur were also indispensable, which cost another 1,000 taels.

Finally, Shen Ningning went to bring a lot of charcoal home.

There is not much charcoal on the market now, only 50 kilograms, but it cost the little guy 300 taels.

As winter approaches, the price of charcoal will definitely rise again.

After buying so much, the carriage almost couldn't move. When it was almost on the slope of Langshan Mountain, Chen Ye had to get off the carriage and push it.

It happened that Uncle Liu came out of the village carrying a shoulder pole.

Seeing the full load of things in Shen Ningning's carriage, he asked in surprise: "Ningning, you bought so many things, are you going to open a store?"

Shen Ningning smiled and greeted, then said: "No, I think this winter will be very cold, and it is inconvenient for my grandma and I to live in the mountains, so I prepared in advance."

Uncle Liu nodded in understanding: "You are really thoughtful, but you bought too much."

The little guy said: "Not only my grandma and I need it, I also have to take care of the whole family in the shop."

Uncle Liu appreciated her approach.

Before leaving, Shen Ningning reminded: "Uncle Liu, you might as well prepare it too."

"Buy more potatoes and cabbage for preparation, and make some bacon to prevent it from going bad. Even if the weather gets very cold next time, there will be something to eat."

If it were an ordinary person, Shen Ningning would not take Shen Ningning's instructions to heart.

But Uncle Liu listened and wrote it down seriously: "Okay, I will do it."

Shen Ningning thought very simply. The rain and snow before must indicate that this winter will be very cold.

She couldn't take care of others, so she could only take care of herself, her grandmother, and a group of wolves.

Shen Ningning asked Chen Ye and Jiang Zhi to help her put the things into the village house.

When she came out, she met the old village chief, who was discussing with other families about protecting the loquat trees from freezing in winter.

Seeing Shen Ningning coming, the old village chief smiled kindly: "Ning girl is here, I just said that I would go and ask you."

"Winter is coming soon. It has been raining these days. One of the loquat trees in the old Wang family in the east of the village has been frozen to death. So we discussed using soft cloth to surround the roots of the tree. Do you want to surround your house too?"

Shen Ningning thought about it and said, "Let's surround it. The village chief will help me arrange it. I will bring some fruits to reward everyone later."

The old village chief nodded repeatedly: "You are just polite, kid."

Shen Ningning pointed to the roof of her village house and asked: "If the cold winter comes and it snows heavily, will my beams collapse?"

The old village chief and Chen Ye looked at each other.

"No, yours has just been renovated and reinforced, but we should be worried." The old village chief said with a smile, obviously not taking it seriously.

Shen Ningning's face became serious, and she said seriously: "Then what are you waiting for, village chief, let Uncle Deng reinforce it as soon as possible, so that the heavy snow will not collapse the house. You will have nowhere to go in the ice and snow."

The old village chief was stunned.

There were heavy snows in the past, but there was no situation of collapsing the roof.

However, Shen Ningning reminded him.

"It's time to reinforce it. It was not properly repaired in the years of drought. It has been raining these days, and I feel cold when I lie on the kang."

So the old village chief shouted to every household to reinforce it.

Everyone can buy materials together and bargain. It's cheaper.

Shen Ningning put all the winter clothes she bought in the village house and locked the door. Jiang Zhi usually lives in the village house, and no one dares to steal.

So the little guy was relieved after doing all this.

She counted the silver and gave fifty taels to Chen Ye and Jiang Zhi each.

They both immediately refused.

The little guy insisted on giving: "You all take it, Brother Jiang, you can buy some winter stuff by yourself. I have food and drinks at home, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Brother Chen is the same. Grandma Chen is old, you should buy more warm knee pads."

Jiang Zhi and Chen Ye immediately bowed their hands to thank him.

Shen Ningning counted the remaining silver, and there were still about 6,700 taels left after spending.

Of which 3,000 taels were what she planned to return to Xie Suzhi.

Although the godfather said that it was not necessary to return it, the little guy remembered the attitude of Mrs. Xie that day, and still planned to return it in front of them.

She privately didn't want the godfather to be blamed by anyone because of her.

So, it must be given, and more.

Thinking like this, the next day, Shen Ningning went back to the Xiangfu after class at the National Academy, intending to stay overnight.

The Xiangfu has now become her second home.

The thoughtful service of Muchun and Wanchun made Shen Ningning very happy.

Before returning to the Xiangfu, she made a special trip to buy a bag of Zuixian duck.

Because Wanchun said that this is the favorite dish of godfather.

However, after returning to the mansion, the housekeeper said: "The master is still in the palace and has not come back."

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "It doesn't matter, I will have dinner with godfather in the evening. Brother is not back yet? Then, sister Muchun, please help me send the Drunken Fairy Duck to the kitchen and let them warm it up."

Wait for godfather and brother to come back and eat hot!

Muchun immediately said: "Okay, I will go now."

Wanchun took Shen Ningning back to the courtyard where she lived.

On the way, Shen Ningning asked: "Last time, godfather said that there are books in the house. Where are they usually? I want to take a look."

It's still early for dinner, so why not read a book to kill time.

Wanchun smiled and said: "In the master's study."

After that, Wanchun led Shen Ningning along the corridor to Xie Suzhi's study.

As soon as the door was opened, the best pine scent came to the face.

The bookshelves full of books made Shen Ningning look like a little mouse falling into a rice jar, and she opened her black eyes with joy.

"Princess, take your time to read. I'll go get you some hot tea."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wanchun."

After Wanchun left, Shen Ningning looked around on the shelf.

With so many books, which one should she start with?

At this moment, the little girl saw from the corner of her eye that there was a half-rolled scroll on the table.

A woman's warm and beautiful smiling eyes caught Shen Ningning's attention at once.

She walked to the table and stood on tiptoe to look: "Wow, what a beautiful lady."

Could it be the godfather's wife?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reach out and open the scroll.

Unexpectedly, the painting was of a beautiful woman, but in her arms, there was a baby lying.

The child stretched out his little hand, and seemed to be naughty to pull the woman's hair.

It was really a parent-child painting that made Shen Ningning's eyes warm.

She was about to close it to avoid getting it dirty, but she suddenly noticed that there was a small dot on the baby's outstretched hand.

Shen Ningning was stunned.

She raised her right hand and saw the same position -

the red mole that connected to the fairyland.
