Ling said some hospitality etiquette with the two sisters softly, although Cui Jing was already very skilled in this regard, but he still sat upright and listened carefully, but Cui Ning, who didn't understand anything about this, shook his head left and right, and fell asleep after a while.

Ling Shi looked at her, smiled helplessly, and whispered to Cui Jing, "When the time comes, mention your sister." ”

Cui Jing responded in a low voice.

"Lift her to the couch and sleep. "The Ling clan ordered to clear the heart and clear the luke.

The two stepped forward and just touched Cui Ning's arm, so she stood up violently, squinted her eyes and began to recall, "Feng Xi Feng Xi, how can it be like the decline of virtue! The next life cannot be waited, and the past life cannot be chased." There is a way in the world, and a saint becomes a saint; there is no way in the world; a saint is born! At this time, only punishment is exempted! Blessing is light and dry, and Mo knows how to carry it; Disaster is heavier than the earth, and Mo knows how to avoid it. Already, already! Draw the ground and tend to ......"

In the past, Cui Ning always liked to sleep when she listened to her master's sermons, so after each sermon, the master would ask Cui Ning to recite a passage of "Nanhua Sutra" by name, and whenever this happened, the second senior brother would secretly poke her arm, which was a secret code they had discussed in private.

Today, when she was in a daze, she noticed that someone had touched her arm, and without thinking about it, she stood up and memorized what she had read before.

Cui Ning gradually woke up with her back on her back, and when she opened her eyes, she didn't see the familiar Taoist robes but the stunned women all over the room, and she was a little dazed for a while.

Cicadas chirped outside, and the room was silent.

Cui Ning felt a little itchy in her fart, scratched it quietly, and said with a dry smile, "I...... I just ...... Is it good to carry it?"

"When did you read the "Nanhua Sutra"?" Cui Jing is with her sister almost every day, what kind of virtue her sister is, she couldn't be clearer, she is a master who has a headache when she holds a book!

Today, Cui Ning fell asleep when she listened to Ling's lecture on etiquette, and Cui Jing only said in her heart that she was getting bolder and bolder, and she didn't feel anything strange until she recited such a long section of the "Nanhua Sutra".

"Look at you, you actually tickle in public!" Ling put away the surprise on his face and began to reprimand Cui Ning Fangcai's behavior, "It's not like a girl at all!"

The girls of the Cui family in Qinghe, not to mention eight years old, have been taught to be little ladies at the age of six, knowing etiquette, knowing advance and retreat, how can they be as "free and casual" as Cui Ning!

"You must not be seen by your cousin. Ling was a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to pour everything he knew directly into her head.

"Why can't you let my cousin see it?" Cui Ning wondered.

Cui Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister forgot, you and your cousin have a marriage contract." ”

"What?" Cui Ning's eyes widened.

What is the marriage contract?

Ling Shi looked at her fussy appearance, and felt that she was about to suffer from a head wind, but her daughter was so innocent and interesting, and she was a little reluctant to force her to become that kind of noble girl with a single look and one eye.

"Well, you will live in my house for the next few days. Ling didn't want to force her anymore, but she also had to know some basic etiquette, at least not to make big mistakes in the future.

Cui Ning was afraid of being exposed in front of the Ling family, so she had to ask, "Where does my father live?"

"My father is an official in Chang'an, little fool. Cui Jing smiled and rubbed her head.

Ling glared at his eldest daughter, "You are becoming more and more unruly. ”

Thinking of this, her daughter would have to know about it sooner or later, so the Ling family asked Cui Jing to go back first, leaving Cui Ning to talk about it carefully.

"Your father and your uncle get along well, when I was pregnant, your uncle said that if this was still a daughter, he would hire Ce'er home as a daughter-in-law. Speaking of this, Cui couldn't help but think of the difficulties of the year.

Cui Ning's father Cui Daoyu and Ling's brother Ling Yunhan were friends before they got married, when Cui Daoyu first asked to marry Ling, he promised not to take a concubine for the rest of his life, and Ling gave birth to a daughter in the first year of marriage, but he never got pregnant for five years, and finally conceived a second child, everyone was looking forward to being a son, and as a result, he gave birth to a daughter, Uncle Ling felt that he couldn't live as a good friend, so he hired back to his eldest son as a daughter-in-law.

Cui Daoyu is the eldest son of the Cui family, and his second daughter married the Ling family as a clan wife, which is already undesirable, not to mention that Ling Yunhan is a scholar of the dynasty.

With this past, the Ling family always felt ashamed of his brother, and he was even more strict with Cui Ning on weekdays, hoping to teach an excellent daughter. Later, the Ling family finally gave birth to Cui Guo, and felt that Cui Ning's rotten wood could not be carved, and she wanted her brother to withdraw from the marriage, but this was just her private thoughts, and she didn't dare to say it, even if the Cui family could agree, the Ling family would not be able to do such a treacherous thing. When he couldn't give birth to a son, he used the position of the clan wife to exchange Cui Daoyu for a concubine, and after giving birth to a son, he immediately broke the contract, leaving aside the friendship, the marriage between the big families involved too much.

Ling thought about it, and still briefly talked about the stakes in the middle with Cui Ning.

Cui Ning now understands what the so-called "marriage contract" is! It is to marry someone else and give birth to a doll to others! Thinking that she is young, she has not even had Mu Shaoai, and suddenly jumped to the file of giving birth to a doll, which made her brain a little unable to turn around.

"Your cousin is seven years older than you, and he was already a man last year, and he has a good reputation in Chang'an. Although Cui Ning was his own daughter, the Ling family couldn't help but feel that it was his nephew who had suffered a loss.

In the Tang Dynasty, for these big families, there is not only one way to go through the imperial examination, especially the eldest son of those families, the future is immeasurable whether they take the examination or not, but a bad test will become a stain on their lives, if they are not really geniuses, no one dares to throw them into the imperial examination field to compete with the world's talents. For these people, it is best if they can add icing on the cake, and if they are not sure, they will simply take the path of recommendation.

Today's saints like to reuse the talents from the imperial examination, but the meaning of suppressing the family is a little bit, Ling Ce is as a child of the family to actively respond to His Majesty's call, in short, if there is no accident, the future will be a proper high-ranking official.

"Seven years older......" Cui Ning thought, this is almost catching up with the second senior brother, "so old!"

"What do you say!" Ling didn't expect his daughter to be disgusted, "Your cousin is one in a million talents, even the emperor has praised him, if it weren't for me...... It's not your turn. Your cousin is here in three days, and you must not get into trouble again, you know?"

Cui Ning met Ling's gaze and had no choice but to nod.

Ling sighed, "As long as you don't get into trouble, I'll teach you slowly in the future." ”

Some nobles and ladies are very spicy, but no matter how spicy, they are very good at etiquette, and they will never scratch their farts in public like Cui Ning!

Ling looked at Cui Ning's wrinkled little face, and felt that there was a long way to go.
