Chapter III

Xiaofu was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she heard that the first two maids in front of her were disposed of because they didn't serve the second lady!

"Nothing. Cui Ning saw that someone was more scared than herself, and immediately stabilized her mind, "I was just a little frightened when I saw my ghostly appearance." ”

Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief, "The lady has just recovered from her illness, and she is a little weak, and it looks better than before to keep it for a few days!"

Cui Ning didn't have a girl of the same age as a playmate on the mountain, looking at Xiaofu's round face, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, and said casually when she was interested, "Your name is like a child, why don't you call Qingfu?"

"Frivolous?" Xiaofu's face was a little bad, but this was the name given by the master, it was not easy to refute it directly, but she was unwilling to be unlucky, "Does Xiaoxing also want to change her name?"

"Qingxing, Qingxing?" Cui Ning held her little hand and muttered for a long time, "Let's take a homonym called Qingxin." ”

Well, it's quite my style, Cui Ning thought with satisfaction.

Xiao Fu originally thought, if Xiao Xing's name is also strange and there is simply someone to accompany him, he will respond as soon as he grits his teeth, but when he hears Cui Ning's favor, he suddenly stops, "Lady, the name slave and maid is not good, and the woman is called frivolous or something, which is misleading, but the slave and maid are not tight, for fear of affecting the reputation of the lady." ”

"What you said seems to have some truth, so why don't you call it Qingjing?" Cui Ning touched her chin and thought about it, "No, it's the same as my sister's name." Let's call it Qinglu. ”

Xiao Fu was busy thinking about whether there was any terrible homonym with it.

Cui Ning saw that she shouldn't, so he said, "Fu Lu Shou, if you don't call Qing Fu, you will call Qing Lu, otherwise you want to call Qing Shou?"

"Qinglu is good, Qinglu is good, and the lady's name is really good. Xiaofu was immediately full of praise.

Xiaofu has changed her name to Qinglu since then, Cui Ning looked at her festive round face, and felt a little satisfied in her heart, she was as powerful as the master all of a sudden, and she could give people a Taoist name! But she decided to be modest, after all, the name she chose was far worse than the master, for example, the second senior brother was called "Daoming", and the far-reaching meaning was beyond her reach.

She thought so crankily that the apprehension she felt when she first walked out of the temple dissipated slightly, and after bathing, she was weak and soon fell asleep.

The dream of this night was very chaotic, the fire and blood covered the whole mountain, and the blood-stained faces of the senior brothers eventually turned into the crying Mrs. Cui, and the fragrance on her body.

Cui Ning felt extremely relieved.

After coming out of the Buddhist hall, Cui Ning has been staying in the house to raise, she is a little anxious to find the magic knife, but Mrs. Cui loves her in every way, and Cui Jing Cui treats her very well. Cui Ning had no father or mother, and felt mother's love and affection for the first time, and soon gave birth to a bit of sincerity, and was reluctant to run out secretly.

She decided to get to know this "outside the place" carefully before going out, and Master often said that she would act after making a decision.

Xu is a fool and a fool, in fact, she is just looking for an excuse for her little selfishness, but she is crooked, if she really runs out secretly, what good fate can she have for an eight-year-old girl outside?

"Sister, do we have a book at home?" Cui Ning thought about breaking her head to come up with such a method, the world is so big, where to find the divine sword? She pondered that the divine knife is not a mundane thing, and there should be a record in the book.

In Cui Ning's impression, there are some "cheats" and "secret scores" of mysterious and powerful things, even if you can't see the secret spectrum, you may be able to gain something by looking at some ordinary historical materials, which is better than being blind.

"Yes, there is a big library in our clan school, and it won't be too late to see it when you are well enough to go to school. Cui Jing touched her head and found that the velvety feel was really good, and she couldn't help but rub it again and again, "You have changed your temperament, and you are so easy to learn, do you plan to be an adult?"

Cui Ning silently recited the phrase "Buddha Amitayus" in her heart, she was forced to read those obscure books on the mountain every day, and her bile was about to vomit out! She deeply felt that she was now burdened with a heavy mission, and she definitely had no time to go to school!

She knew that this was the same world as she knew, and that the Holy One was the Empress.

Her Majesty the Empress is quite good at Buddhism, building temples and Buddha statues everywhere, and the days of poor Taoism are getting worse and worse, but the women in the world are living more and more chic because of this, and those who have the ability can even enter the court to serve as officials.

Cui Ning has never experienced the chic of being a woman, she only knows that her teachers were extremely poor in the past, and people in the world don't look down on them.

When she came back to her senses, she noticed that several maids were holding back a laugh.

Cui Jing coughed twice in embarrassment, "Your hair is messy, I'll take you to comb it neatly." ”

Cui Jing's behavior is a model for a noble girl, but today because Cui Ning's hair feels too good, she rubbed it a few more times, who knew that Cui Ning had to not resist but stretched out her head like a goose to rub it, and she didn't pay attention for a while and rubbed the hair on her head.

The two sisters sat in the pavilion, Qingxin ran back to get a comb and other utensils, and Cui Jing took it over and combed her hair personally.

The woman's hair is black, thick, neat, and shiny, Cui Ning is definitely not the kind of beautiful black hair, each of her hair is thin and soft, and it feels like some kind of round-haired animal.

There was a breeze in the yard, and a few pieces of white paper were blowing over, which were falling at Cui Ning's feet.

She looked down and picked it up, only to see that the white paper had been cut round, and there was a square hole in the middle.

Cui Jing combed his hair, and then heard Qinglu hurriedly say, "Lady, that can't be played! ”

As soon as Cui Jing raised his eyes, he saw that the little ancestor was pinching a piece of paper money and looking at it seriously, and immediately raised his hand to knock it down, "Why do you pick up everything! ”

"Do we have dead people here?" Cui Ning asked.

"It was the sister of the third uncle's family who unfortunately died. Cui Jing lowered his tone, but there was not much sadness on his face, which showed that he was not close to this sister who died young.

Cui Ning nodded and didn't ask any more.

"Go and worship in the temple, and I'll go and talk to my mother. Cui Jing said.

Cui Ning thought of Mama Lin, so she immediately responded and let Qinglu lead the way to the Buddha Hall.

As a disciple of the Daomen, she didn't particularly dislike Buddhism, but it was okay to follow Mama Lin to clean the Buddhist hall, and it would never be possible for her to worship the Bodhisattva.

The stone pavement is clean, and you can still see a piece or two of paper money once in a while.

As soon as he entered the Buddhist hall, he heard the sound of wooden fish, Cui Ning didn't go in to disturb, but sat under the paulownia tree in the courtyard and waited.

About half an hour later, I saw Mama Lin walking out with the support of a middle-aged servant.

"Mama. Cui Ning happily ran over.

The servant woman looked at her in surprise, and immediately understood, "The second lady forgot? This is the old lady." The slave maid is to serve the old lady, surnamed Lin, and the second lady can call Lin Niang or Lin Mama. ”

"Huh?" Cui Ning looked at the old lady suspiciously, "But Mama said that she was Mama......"

"Let it be. The old lady laughed.

Cui Ning seemed to understand a little, puffed out her cheeks, and her eyes were full of accusations: Obviously you lied to me first, why do you say follow me?

"Hehe, you see this kid still complains about me. The old lady smiled even more happily.

The servant woman has served the old lady for more than 20 years, and it is rare to see her so cheerful, "I haven't seen the old lady smile like this for more than 20 years, it can be seen that she likes the second lady very much." She said, looking at Cui Ning with a smile, "The second lady is not going to call grandmother?"

Cui Ning has no general family concept, whether it is grandmother or grandmother, it is just a title for her, she is very close to this old lady in her heart, and her head is still a piece of paste, so because of this good feeling, she was led to shout loudly, "Grandmother!"

"Bh. The old lady rejoiced.

After shouting, Cui Ning was still confused, "Why did you lie to me?"

When she asked this, she vaguely felt a little strange, but she couldn't remember anything strange.

"I have lived alone in the Buddhist hall for decades, and I can't help but be amused when I see my little granddaughter interesting, don't blame my grandmother. The old lady thought of Cui Ning's departure step by step and three times that day, and somehow, her mood, which had always been like stopping water, fluctuated, and she took Cui Ning's little hand, "Let's go, have lunch with my grandmother." ”

Cui Ning responded happily, and whispered in her ear when she helped the old lady to go to the house, "Grandmother let them go, let's eat together." ”

The old lady nodded.

When the meal was served, the old lady ordered everyone to go down.

Finally didn't have to eat with a shelf, Cui Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, gave the old lady a few chopsticks and dishes, and then swept a bowl of rice like a whirlwind.

"You're afraid you won't be able to eat enough at home, right?" said the old lady, looking at her thin arms.

Cui Ning nodded again and again, "Eating a meal is more tiring than doing a ritual service!"

"What a legal thing, nonsense. The old lady laughed angrily at her, "This is only allowed to be said by grandmother." ”

Cui Ning also had a tight scalp, and she was busy and well-behaved.

After eating happily, Cui Ning felt that the whole person came to life, and she was full of strength, picking up the paulownia flowers on the ground in circles in the yard.

Cui Ning was stunned for a few days when she first woke up, and after recovering her strength, she gradually showed her original temperament. If other seven or eight-year-old children experienced such a shocking disaster, I am afraid that if they are not scared to death, they will leave a shadow on their hearts, and they will not be happy again, but Cui Ning has always been tenacious, and he actually pressed that thing in his heart, even if he was haunted by nightmares every night, he would still laugh as long as he saw the sun.

After playing for a while, Cui Ning was a little sleepy when he was idle.

The old lady wanted to leave her here for a nap, but Mrs. Cui asked Suiniang to come to pick up people, saying that her niece and nephew would come over in a few days, and she had to let Sister Cui Jing and Cui Ning learn the etiquette of hospitality first.

Mrs. Cui's maiden family is the Shandong Ling family, which is also a high-ranking family, and has intermarried with the Langya Wang family for generations.

In addition to the family, the Ling family and the Wang family are also the most famous, that is, both sons and daughters are beautiful.

Because of the guests who suddenly appeared, Cui Ning was taken to Mrs. Cui's house to make up for the etiquette knowledge.

A lot of rules fell, Cui Ning's head grew several times, and muttered, "Doesn't it mean that under the wise rule of Her Majesty the Empress, women can be chic?"

Mrs. Cui gently tapped her head with a scroll, "First of all, you are just a little girl, and secondly, no matter whose world is outside, our Cui family has its own rules." ”

The people who were officials outside the Qinghe Cui clan were all men, and the restrictions on women in the clan rules were slightly more relaxed than those in the previous dynasty, but they were far less free than those women outside. Qinghe Cui's family motto is much longer than the history of the Tang Dynasty, they will not look at things in front of them, although the emperor of the dynasty is a woman, but it is just an example, the Cui family does not recognize that position will always belong to a woman, and will not abandon the heritage of hundreds of years because of a temporary change.

Cheongha-Choi allows her girls to change, but this change is limited to certain irrelevant aspects. ―――――――――― everyone guesses, why did the old lady lie to Ah Ning? What did Ah Ning think of?
