Chapter 308: Beautiful Woman

Zhuang Shao couldn't help himself and held Ning Jiewei's hands.

"I didn't expect that Fourth Miss Ning is actually a fellow traveler!"

Ning Jiewei was delighted and smiled at him.

"Since you and I have the same ideals, why don't we become siblings?"

The two of them were overjoyed and cheered in tacit understanding.

Ning Yunxi was shocked in disbelief.

"Fourth sister, we are of different generations. He is my uncle..."

Ning Jiewei changed her words naturally.

"Then I will accept you as my foster father. What do you think?"

Zhuang Shao nodded repeatedly as he thought of it.

"With pleasure, thank you for not giving up."

Ning Yunxi pointed at their tightly clasped hands, smiled awkwardly, and gave them a reminder.

"Isn't it a little unethical for Uncle Shao to be like this between a foster father and his daughter?"

Zhuang Shao realized it later and let go immediately out of fear.

"I am so rude, I hope Fourth Miss Ning can forgive me!"

When Ning Jiewei heard that the address was wrong, she corrected it directly.

"Didn't you adopt me as your adopted daughter? You can call me Wei'er, your adopted father."

Zhuang Shao's eyes seemed to contain a field of flowers, blooming with a gorgeous scene.

"Okay, Wei'er."

Ning Jiewei smiled happily, took two steps back, and bowed solemnly.

"Godfather, please accept my daughter's greetings!"

After the ceremony, she poured a cup of tea and presented it with both hands.

"Father, please have some tea."

Zhuang Shao took the teacup, took a sip, quickly put it down, and helped his adopted daughter up with both hands.

"Weier, please get up quickly."

At this time, the servant asked: "It is getting late, Master, do you need a lamp?"

Zhuang Shao responded in a deep voice.

"I can do it myself. You don't have to wait on me."

The servant retreated in response.

Ning Jiewei took the initiative to please.

"Godfather, just sit back and I will light the lamp."

Zhuang Shao was overjoyed as he enjoyed the family happiness for the first time in his life. Even though his mouth felt sore, he still kept smiling when he looked at his adopted daughter.

"Thank you, Wei'er."

His gaze followed Ning Jiewei's hand, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

After making sure that she had finished lighting the lamp and had not accidentally burned herself, he smiled comfortably.

"Sit down quickly, don't get tired."

The three of them sat down again, and Zhuang Shao suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, you came so late just to claim your adopted parents?"

Ning Yunxi slapped his forehead.

"If Uncle Shao hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it."

"I came to visit you to discuss business matters. I mentioned before that I want to open a beauty salon, and you have already given me the name, Yiren Qingcheng."

"The staff is almost complete, except for a shopkeeper. I respectfully invite Uncle Shao to take the position. I wonder if he would be willing to do so?"

"The silver will be divided between me and my fourth sister, 40% and 60%. If Uncle Shao comes, I will give you half of my 40%."

Zhuang Shao was impatient at first and yearned for it; but then he thought about it and became disappointed.

"I am afraid that it will cause trouble for the whole situation. Will the prince agree?"

Ning Yunxi gave sincere advice and treated him wholeheartedly.

"Since my brother has given me the name, I will naturally be happy to see it come to fruition."

"During this period of time, the situation is temporarily stable and nothing unexpected will happen. Uncle Shao can take this opportunity to train a deputy shopkeeper. When the store is busy and you are not in the store, you can hand over the responsibilities to him."

Zhuang Shao smiled and agreed.

"Xi'er has thought it through, so I will respectfully obey your orders."

Everything was ready. Ning Yunxi returned to the mansion, allocated money, recruited more staff, and speeded up the renovation of Yiren Qingcheng.

As day and night change, the starry sky quietly turns into bright morning glow.

Lord Qiu Bi arrived in a hurry, received the news, and reported it to the princess immediately.

"The beauty salon will be finished this afternoon. After you have done your combing, would you like to go and check it out?"

Ning Yunxi was getting dressed and dressed up, being served by several maids.

"I'll go in the afternoon. You can keep an eye on it for me first. I made an appointment yesterday. Today I have to go shopping with my fourth sister to buy jewelry and clothes."

Thinking about the previous disappearance of the princess, Qiu Bi learned to be cautious.

"I will choose the guard to follow you to prevent any further mishaps."

In fact, if Feng Yihe wanted to plot something, no matter how many guards there were, they would not be able to stop him.

Ning Yunxi understood this, but didn't say much.

Qiu Bi expressed her concern, and she naturally appreciated the kindness.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Always thinking about Yiren Qingcheng, she asked immediately.

"Have you arranged to send Uncle Shao's share?"

Qiu Bi respectfully explained the reason and dealt with it calmly.

"The princess agreed yesterday and I have already returned to the palace. I just arrived today and have not taken care of this matter. I will do it when the guards are selected."

Ning Yunxi selected a pair of earrings and held them against her ears.

"Go."

Ning Yunxi told the kitchen in advance that there was no need to prepare her breakfast and lunch today. After putting on her makeup, she got on the carriage and headed to the Ningguo Mansion to have dinner with her fourth sister.

When I arrived at Chunxuan's residence, I thought that my fourth sister was still sleeping soundly, but unexpectedly, she was contrary to her usual behavior and got up very early.

Upon hearing the report, Ning Jiewei stopped dressing, walked overjoyedly to meet her, and sat down holding her hand.

"Why did you come so early, Third Sister? Did you get enough sleep at night? Are you tired?"

Ning Yunxi had honey on her lips.

"I felt a little tired, but when I saw you, it all disappeared."

Ning Jiewei responded in kind and was generous with her praise.

"Sister, you are stunningly beautiful, and I am also very pleased with you."

As she spoke, she looked around, thought carefully, and gave serious advice.

"Sister, the brocade dress you are wearing is modeled after the clothing of the nobles of the ancient Xuan Zhou Kingdom. Xuan Zhou revered purple and green, and revered Qin purple jade. Women from royal families often chose jewelry inlaid with Qin purple jade to show off their noble status."

She gently stroked Ning Yunxi's hairpin with her delicate hands.

"Xuan Zhou clothing must be matched with Xuan Zhou jade. Although the hairpin my sister is wearing, Purple Air Coming from the East, is wonderful, it is not a Xuan Zhou item after all. If we can add a Qin purple jade and gold hairpin to the makeup here, it will be just right."

"I guess it's because my sister doesn't have any Qin Ziyu jewelry, so she can't afford a hairpin?"

Memories suddenly invaded Ning Yunxi's mind, and her smile froze slightly.

"I have a Qin Ziyu gold hairpin."

Ning Jiewei smiled in surprise.

"Then I'll accompany you back to the mansion. After you put on the hairpin, we'll go have breakfast."

As her mind wandered, she seemed to see the figure of her older brother in front of her, and Ning Yunxi frowned slightly.

"You don't have to go back home. I left the golden hairpin in Xiangzhu Garden."

Ning Jiewei stood up and couldn't help but go to get the hairpin.

"That's great."

Noticing that her sister looked upset, she lowered her brows and spoke in a caring voice.

"Why is sister unhappy?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

Ning Yunxi quickly turned away and smiled, fearing that her sister would be worried and sad.

"You're right."

"I was so lost in the past that I didn't notice your expression. Relax and get dressed. I'll go get it myself. Xiangzhu Garden is nearby, so I'll be back soon."

Ning Jiewei looked worried and refused without thinking.

"How can that be possible? What if we run into our parents? Wouldn't my sister be wronged again? I must accompany you."

As she spoke, she took her sister's wrist, shook it gently, and acted coquettishly.

"There's no rush to get dressed. Let's go to Xiangzhu Garden first. Let's go."

Seeing her attentiveness, Ning Yunxi smiled with a hint of flattery. She stood up and went to Xiangzhu Garden with her.

"Okay, it's up to you."
