Little Yining stood at the gate of Zhang's house and was shocked by the gold plaque. It was indeed a courtyard given by the emperor. Even the plaque on the door was made of gold. I don't know how much silver it cost. However, it was indeed a street of dignitaries, and no thief dared to pry away the two big pieces of gold.

Little Yining was still daydreaming when Wan Niang carried her inside.

The Zhang family's house was countless times more luxurious and larger than his old house. Little Yining was carried by her mother and walked around countless tall buildings and bends until they finally arrived at Old Madam Zhang's residence. Next to Old Madam Zhang sat her little grandson Zhang Liangchuan and a little girl in brightly dressed clothes.

After a round of polite greetings, everyone sat down, and Old Lady Zhang's eyes fell on little Yining.

"Let me come over and see how cute the girl is that the female school made an exception to recruit."

Little Yining was led in front of her, and after he bowed properly, the old lady pulled him to her side and looked him over carefully.

"This baby is so beautiful, she has been a beauty since she was young. You two must take good care of her, and you will be blessed with great fortune in the future!"

"Being able to grow up safely is the best blessing, old lady." Wan Niang replied.

Xiao Yining pursed her lips and smiled. In her previous life, she was also half socially anxious. After traveling to ancient times, she really didn't know how to communicate with unfamiliar elders.

But she had a universal preparation. "Old lady, you gave Sister Qing a lot of things, and Sister Qing also has something for you."

"Oh?" Old Lady Zhang looked at little Yining lovingly as she took out a few strings from her purse. She had made them last night, and it took her so much time that she even missed her bedtime.

"Look at how skillful she is. Wow, it's so beautiful." Old Lady Zhang took the silk thread and nodded. It was obvious that it was made by a novice. At the age of three, she could make this, which showed that she was very serious in studying at the girls' school. Old Lady Zhang was satisfied with this kind of thought. She nodded and said, "It's a rare opportunity to study at the girls' school. You should learn more and live up to your parents' expectations. This silk thread is very beautiful. I... like it very much."

Xiao Yining was just about to respond with a few polite words when a discordant voice came from the side.

"Grandmother, this silk cord is so ugly. If you like it, I'll ask Ah Xi to make a nice one for you. Throw this one away."

The whole audience fell silent after hearing these words.

"Shang'er, what did you say?" Zhang Liangchuan stood up and looked at Wang and Lin apologetically. "My niece is spoiled and said the wrong thing."

"Uncle, why are you apologizing? I'm just telling the truth. How dare you bring out this ugly thing to pollute the eyes of our ancestors. If it were in our house, it would have been sold out by grandmother long ago." Zhang Nishang said with a pout.

Is it that serious?

Little Yining looked at the silk cord in Grandma Zhang's hand and found it ugly. She was done for. She had given the wrong gift and upset the host. Fortunately, she was old enough to make amends. "Grandma, Sister Qing's work is not pretty. I'll make one for you when I learn to make a prettier one."

"My family doesn't need this broken thing from you. I have an embroidery room and an embroiderer at home. Little sister, you should take it back and don't embarrass yourself by showing it off." The little girl continued to chatter, and the faces of the adults gradually turned gloomy.

"That's enough." Old Lady Zhang slammed the table angrily. "Nichang, you are so unruly. What did your parents teach you?"

Xiao Yining looked at the table that was slapped loudly, and then looked at the angry old lady, and couldn't help but feel for her. "Old lady, slapping your hands will hurt."

The difference was immediately apparent; little Yining's understanding allowed their family to be politely sent out.

Zhang Liangchuan kept apologizing to them, bringing this unpleasant visit to an end, and he did not take back Xiao Yining's necklace.

Wan Niang looked at her daughter with distressed expression as she looked at the gate of Zhang Mansion (actually, she just wanted to take another look at the golden plaque). "Mother, I will never let Qing Jieer suffer such grievances again."

Li Anhe patted his daughter's hand. The difference between being an official and being a commoner is like the difference between heaven and earth, and she must adapt.

The negative emotions of visiting Zhang's house have been affecting the adults, only little Yining was not affected at all, she just regretted that her hands were clumsy and the lace was eye-catching. She was more looking forward to going shopping, she had been in Yanjing for so long, but she hadn't seen it properly, and she spent every day in her mother's arms in a hurry.

"Mom, will Dad go shopping with us?" Xiao Yining asked.

Wan Niang looked through the curtain at her husband's stern face as he whispered to his brother. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, she shook her head and said, "Your father has something else to do and he probably won't go."

Something?

Fine!

Little Yining said that she preferred to be with her mother and grandmother, oh, and sister Yu Ke, she had asked someone to tell them to wait for her at the teahouse.

This time the object of flattery changed, and Xiao Yining became the one being flattered.

Lin Yuzan sent his wife and children to the teahouse and left with the Wang brothers. Li Anhe also sent her husband out and asked him to sit in the lobby with Leng Yi to listen to books and drink tea.

This is the place where storytelling was done in ancient times. Xiao Yining sat on a small stool and looked down at the middle stage. A storyteller in a long gown was holding a folding fan and telling interesting stories, and the audience cheered. She listened to a few sentences and sat back in her seat with a lack of interest. She liked gossip more than interesting human stories.

"Your father is so careless that he left you alone in Yanjing without anyone to take care of you." Li Anhe couldn't help but say as he looked at Yu Ke who was accompanied by an old nanny.

"I usually live in the girls' school. I only stay in the house for a few days. My family is relieved." Yu Ke smiled shyly and looked at the little Yining who came back. "And sister Yining took good care of me in the girls' school."

This is the truth. Yu Ke herself could not fit into the circle of young ladies from official families, but Xiao Yining always took advantage of her small size to pull her in among those young ladies and interrupt them. Gradually, they no longer rejected Yu Ke's approach, but there was still some contempt for businessmen in their eyes.

The adults all laughed, but then felt a little sorry for her.

Little Yining also admired Yu Ke very much. She was the same age as the great-granddaughter of old lady Zhang, but she was very sensible. It was really the environment that made the person. Even though she was the daughter of the richest man in the area, she didn't have any temper of a young lady.

Yu Ke's teahouse is in a particularly good location, close to a main street and backed by a large lake. It is cozy from this side and lively from the other side. They plan to drink some tea, take a break, and then go shopping.

"Someone fell into the lake..." At this time, a sudden shout outside attracted Xiao Yining's attention. Before everyone got up, she had already run to the window near the lake to check. A middle-aged man struggled in the water for several times and slowly sank into the lake. Fortunately, he was rescued by a strong boatman. However, the man seemed to be depressed and wanted to jump into the lake again.

Emotional hurt?

Xiao Yining sighed, this plot is not right, it should be a beautiful woman who falls into the lake and is rescued and then becomes a slave or servant. Sure enough, the idea is very rich and the reality is very skinny.

Wan Niang looked at the man below with his clothes soaked, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she picked up her daughter who was watching the fun and said, "Don't watch anymore. Grandma and mother will take you to buy some jewelry so that you can look pretty in the girls' school."

When Xiao Yining heard this, her eyes lit up. "Mom, can I have a gold bracelet?"

"Okay, Mom will pick out a beautiful gold bracelet for you."

Little Yining took another look at the bustling crowd outside and let her mother carry her out of the box.

Why don’t her mother and grandmother like to watch the fun?

This gene is wrong!!!
