Chapter VIII

Cui Ling has been discussing marriage recently, and it is almost decided, the other party is from a prestigious family, and his identity and status are not picky, but I heard that the person had a rash when he was a child, and he had a lot of scars on his face, which can be regarded as disfigured, and because of this matter, his temper has become very irritable. Cui Ling was a little reluctant when she heard about this matter, but the marriage was decided by the clan, where could she be allowed to pick and choose?

Today, when Cui Ling saw that Ling Ce was born so well, and then thought about herself, she felt quite uncomfortable, so she wanted to find someone to put out the fire, and there was no other bad intention. She knew very well that if Cui Ning's marriage was really disturbed, the clan elders would never let her go.

Cui's children were instilled with the idea that no matter when and where, the family should be the most important thing, and the family's reputation and interests should be more important than life.

This small episode did not affect the banquet, and everyone went home happy.

Afterwards, Ling specially called Cui Ning back to the house alone and asked her carefully, "When the doctor came to the follow-up that day, he said that you were still a little weak, what are you uncomfortable with?"

"No, I'm fine. Cui Ning said.

Ling frowned, "I saw that you had been in a state of mind all night, what were you thinking?"

Cui Ning was a little embarrassed, she couldn't tell the real reason, but if she wanted to make up words that could deceive the Ling family, she asked herself if she couldn't do it.

"That's what you look like when you ask, it's just that girls have their own little secrets when they are older, and their mother won't ask. The Ling family held her hand and looked at her with anticipation, "Ning'er, you must promise your mother that you won't get into trouble again, and you can learn more from your sister in normal times, and marry into the Ling family in the future to live a safe life." Mother has only this wish for the rest of her life, and I can rest assured that your brothers and sisters are safe and well. ”

Cui Ning pursed her lips slightly, but did not agree.

"Ning'er. Ling sighed and said no more.

"Mother, let your sister marry your cousin. Cui Ning said suddenly.

Ling Shi was startled for a moment, and sent the people in the house out before saying, "What nonsense!

In fact, Ling He never thought that the age gap between Cui Jing and Ling Ce was not big, and they were good in all aspects, and they would be able to be qualified as a sect wife in a few more years, but ......

"I see that my cousin is not very satisfied with me, and I am afraid that I will not be able to change the appearance he likes in the future, so it is better to forget it as soon as possible. Cui Ning rarely used her brain for these things, "It's man-made, how can my mother know that she can't change it if she doesn't want to think of a way?"

Ling never thought that this foolish child would be able to say such a thing, she pondered for a while, and then carefully told her about the difficulties, so as to teach her to die of this heart.

Cui Ning understood, but instead of giving up, she persuaded the Ling family even harder, "I used to be envious...... Someone else has a scorched tail, but then I can only get the average one, so I thought that I would make do with it first, and then save money to change it to a better one in the future. I don't know anything else, but I know that the more I value something, the better I want it, and if I can only use it one time in front of me, then I will find a better replacement in the future, and I will naturally have to change it. Mother, instead of waiting for me to be replaced in the future, it is better to give the Ling family a good one from the beginning. ”

Ling looked at her in a daze.

Cui Ning has been in a daze since she came out of the Buddha Hall, Ling secretly didn't know how many tears she had shed because of this, who would have thought that she would be able to say this truth today!

Cui Ning saw Ling's reflection, and immediately became worried, could it be that the original Cui Ning couldn't play the piano, and she was exposed? Cui Ning thought about it, and hurriedly made up for it, "I'm just a metaphor." ”

"My son, grown up. Ling said, his eyes fogging.

Cui Ning was startled, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe it, "Mother...... Am I saying the wrong thing?"

"Nope. Ling let her help him wipe his tears, and a smile appeared on his face, "In the past, ...... You are all dealing with things in a haphazard manner, I didn't know that you like the piano so much, there is a green floating piano in the storeroom, although it is not as good as Jiaowei, but it is also a rare good piano, I will have someone find it for you in a while. ”

Cui Ning looked at Ling carefully and saw that she really didn't cry, so she was relieved. Seeing that she was still shedding tears, she didn't know why she laughed for a moment, but it scared her out!

The Ling family was interested, and after waiting for a while, they simply ordered someone to find the qin and ask Cui Ning to play a song for her.

Cui Ning thought for a while, "Have I ever studied the piano before?"

Ling said, "There are two masters of piano art in the clan study, and the children of the He clan have all learned, only they are good at it." ”

"Then am I good at it or not?" Cui Ning thought to herself that she had "amnesia" anyway, and she had to ask clearly, otherwise what if it didn't pop up right for a while?

Ling Shi paused, "I don't know about this, you rarely played the piano before. ”

Cui Ning is happy in his heart, so he can play casually!

In the interim, the Ling family mentioned the marriage again, this time more directly, "What the clan wants is only the in-law relationship with the Ling family, if you sacrifice you, you can exchange the guilt and debt of the Ling family, even if they change people in the future." There are a lot of things here, you can't figure it all out now, but don't worry, you are my biological daughter, I will not let you become a victim of the family, don't talk about it in the future, I have my own plans. ”

With Ling's promise, Cui Ning nodded happily.

In a few moments, the maid came in with a piano and put it into the room with the piano stand.

Cui Ning plucked the strings, the tone was very clean, and he suddenly got excited, knelt down in front of the piano stand, pulled his sleeves, and put his hands on the piano.

This series of movements is like a cloud, without the slightest delay and twisting, different from the girl's rules and elegance, but revealing a free and easy taste.

At this time, the yellowish light on the corridor passed through the window and plated around Cui Ning's body, and there seemed to be a faint smile on her small face, and the sound of Qing Lingling's piano poured out between raising her hand and flicking.

Ling was in a trance, where was Cui Ning still looking like a slugger at this time! It was clearly a hint of being dusty in the youth.

For the first time in these days, she felt that her daughter was very unfamiliar.

The bright moon and clear light fall on the ground like frost and silver, the sound of the piano is like the breeze of the pine forest, and like the spring water on the stone, with the ups and downs of the piano, it seems to see the misty fairy mountain for a while, and then falls into the quiet deep valley, all the sounds between heaven and earth seem to be accompaniment, so free, unrestrained, let people forget all kinds of troubles in the mortal dust, and the soul is extremely quiet.

The sound of the piano stopped for a long time before Ling came back to his senses, "What kind of song is this?"

She has good piano skills, and she heard that Cui Ningqin played really well at the beginning, but if she didn't have this piece, she would just play it well.

"Washing the marrow. Cui Ning's heart was pulled by something, and it hurt badly.

This is a piece composed by the second senior brother, and Cui Ning witnessed the birth of this song. She remembered very well that it was dawn that day, and the second senior brother carried her from the bed to the pine forest on the top of the mountain, and coerced and lured her to help collect the dew on the pine needles. Right now, there is a sea of clouds, next to it is a clear spring, the second senior brother seems to have a feeling, sitting cross-legged, and in one go to complete this song "Washing the Marrow".

At that time, the water was clear, the breeze was gentle, and after a song, Cui Ning felt that the whole person had become very clean, and his brain was turning faster than usual!

Then, she took advantage of the second senior brother's inattention to secretly scoop a little stream water into the crockpot.

"Who can compose the music?" When Ling was still in the boudoir, he liked to collect some music scores and chess scores, and he was a person who had read countless songs, but he had never heard this one.

Cui Ning hung her head and didn't answer.

Seeing that she had regained her usual half-dead appearance, Ling Shi didn't ask, "Go back to your room and sleep today, and think carefully about what happened during the banquet." ”

Cui Ning was pardoned and immediately took two maids to leave.

"By the way, the name of Qingxin Qinglu is good, but it is a taboo in our family, so let's go to the water and use cyan blue. Ling said.

At this time, Cui Ning wanted to leave, and nodded again and again when she heard the words, "Mother has the final say." ”

Watching her daughter leave in a hurry, Ling sat quietly for a long time.

Cui Ning walked along the path, and when she was about to reach the door of the house, she suddenly heard the sound of the piano, and it was "Washing the Marrow".

She paused, turned and followed.

Although the time was not early, the sound of the piano was not far away, Qingxin Qinglu glanced at each other, did not persuade, only followed inch by inch.
