Chapter 16 The Fragrance of the Pavilion

In fact, Cui Ning wanted to know where the old lady found the jade pendant, she was sure that the jade pendant was still on her body before she was kicked unconscious, maybe it fell in Ling Ce's house when she fell?

"Your mother found it and sent it here. The old lady said, "Let's eat." ”

Cui Ning now likes to learn etiquette rules with the old lady, because she thinks it is a very interesting thing.

After more than ten days in the Buddhist hall, she is like a piece of jade that has been gradually carved, in addition to the external etiquette, but also from the inside to the outside of a spirit, making her look different from the girls next to her.

These days, Cui Ning's injuries are getting better, and her condition is many times better than when she first came to Cui's house.

On this day, she got up early as usual, swept the fallen leaves in the yard, and then went to the Buddhist hall to wait for the old lady to dine together.

During the meditation, she remembered many things, such as that the old lady had just begun to lie to her......

During these days in the Buddhist hall, Cui Ning learned that the girls in the clan were very in awe of the old lady, and the old lady was also very distant from them, maybe there was no one to accompany her, and the old lady felt lonely, so she would tease her little granddaughter to play. But these are not the crux of the problem, Cui Ning is puzzled and frightened, the old lady seems to know that she has "amnesia" from the beginning!

Just imagine, it is impossible for a granddaughter who has been punished to the Buddha hall to think about it not to know her grandmother, how could the old lady not know this?

And when she talked nonsense about her amnesia, the old lady was not only not surprised, but calmly found a reason for her. Maybe it was because the original Cui Ning really had a high fever that didn't go away?

And Cui Ning learned that not all the girls in the clan would be punished to the Buddha Hall to think about when they made mistakes, and they would all go to the ancestral hall!

The more Cui Ning thought about it, the more frightened she felt, looking at the old lady's back, the tip of her nose suddenly sweated.

After thinking about it, she prepared for the worst in her heart -- the old lady had already seen that she was a fake! But since the old lady had seen it, she was still so good to herself, she shouldn't have any bad intentions, begging her more, maybe she wouldn't expose herself?

After the old lady finished the morning class, when she saw Cui Ning's solemn expression, she was playing tricks in her heart, and she glanced at her lightly with her fingers.

Cui Ning jumped up with a snort, "Grandmother!

The old lady clasped her hands slightly, "What's wrong?"

Cui Ning came back to her senses at this time, her eyes rolled, the sound of her heart fluttering and her eardrum vibrated her eardrums, and her brain kept circulating indefinitely: Do you want to ask?

"Surprised. The old lady took her hand, "Let's go." ”

The old lady's hand was slightly cold, and she slowly calmed down. Whatever the reason, since the old lady didn't demolish her, she didn't have to jump out and admit it herself.

With a slight determination in her heart, Cui Ning held the old lady's hand, "Grandmother, it's too cold in that house, it's okay in summer, what can I do in winter?"

The old lady patted her hand, "The girl knows that she feels sorry for her grandmother? ”

"Why do you want to open a door there, Irrigation. Cui Ning looked at the structure of the room, and the Buddhist hall was originally in the center of the courtyard, connecting three corridors, with one door in front and back, and a small side door in the other corridor.

In the summer, when you open the side door, it is very cool, and if you open the small side door in the winter, it will be too cold. However, according to the structure of the house, even if they don't have a small side door, they won't panic from the heat.

After eating, the old lady instructed the Lin family to take someone to seal the side door, and she taught Cui Ning to make incense in the courtyard.

Nowadays, noble ladies love to taste incense in their spare time, and many people can simply make incense, but it is those who are really proficient in the art of incense. The old lady is good at incense, and when she was young, she also compiled a book "Youting Incense Book", which is a must-read book for people who learn incense today.

Cui Ning held the incense book written by the old lady herself, her eyes were shining, "Grandmother is amazing!"

"It's just for your own amusement. "The old lady has a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am sober, and if I can't find a soulmate, I will be very lonely, so after getting married, I have very little time to invest in interpersonal relationships, and I have more free time to study some things that she thinks are interesting.

The old lady said, "In addition to this, I have written a lot of things, all of which are in my room, if you like them, go and look for them." ”

Cui Ning couldn't wait, and begged to see it.

The old lady was so abrasive that she couldn't do anything, so she had to move the matter of teaching perfume to tomorrow morning, and today she indulged in her and said something to her by the way. The old lady knew Cui Ning very well, and specially instilled some truths in her, she didn't necessarily listen to it, but clicked a few words at the right time, and she understood it at all.

Cui Ning has been to the old lady's room more than once, but this time she entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, and she felt incredible when she saw everything.

There are two large bookshelves in the old lady's house, there are about hundreds of books, after Cui Ning has seen the big bookbuilding of Cui Clan's study, these numbers are really not much in my eyes, but now I know that many of them are the only books copied by the old lady herself or the books compiled by her own person, and the feeling is completely different!

"The Seven Strategies of Political Leaders" ......" Cui Ning flipped through it, and inside was the old lady's handwriting, "This is also written by my grandmother?"

The old lady paused for a moment, then reached out and took it and opened it to look at it a few times, "What I wrote when I first got married is now outdated. ”

Cui Ning felt that the old lady's affection was a little low, "Can I take a look?"

"These books are left to you, but you have to promise your grandmother that you will not fail her grandmother's life's work. The old lady said.

Cui Ning didn't rush to agree, "How can I not live up to it?"

She hadn't forgotten the purpose of her coming here, in case the old lady asked her to take the female official exam to revitalize the family or something, she couldn't just agree.

The old lady seemed to see through her, and said with a light smile, "If you do something worthy of yourself in the future, you will not live up to my expectations of you." ”

"Okay!" Cui Ning had experienced few things after all, and felt that this matter was very simple.

Cui Ning flipped through the book in her hand, even though she didn't know what the shortcomings of the imperial court were at that time, but just looking at this book, she felt that many of the words in it were particularly reasonable.

The old lady seemed to have not touched these books for a long time, and when she saw that Cui Ning was reading them with relish, she also took out a book and flipped through it. Others read these books and think they are knowledge, but for her, each one is a story.

She had a good memory, and could even tell what was happening when there was a little ink on her page.

The more Cui Ning reads it, the more she feels that the content in "Political Leaders' Needle" is too obscure, and she really can't understand it, so she plans to change it. As soon as she looked up, she saw the old lady looking at a book with her eyes down, and there was a look on her face that Cui Ning had never seen before, as if she was very sad, and she seemed to be very emotional.

After many years, Cui Ning finally understood that it was called desolation.

"Can't you understand?" the old lady quickly lost all her affection and looked at her.

"There's a lot I don't understand. Cui Ning said.

"What don't you understand?" asked the old lady.

There are a lot of quotations and enumerations of historical materials in this "Political Leaders' Needle", if you have not read through the history books and do not have a rich amount of reading, it is indeed not easy to understand.

The old lady patiently explained the allusions to Cui Ning, like chatting with a story, and taught her some truths.

Cui Ning was very emotional, whether it was knowledgeable, talented, and temperamental, the old lady's existence subverted her understanding of women. She had the idea that the old lady's talent was probably no worse than that of the current Empress.

Cui Ning is eight years old, and she already has a clear sense of the difference between men and women, but she has not classified herself into this category before this, and in her impression, the so-called women are those in the town under the mountain, and their lives can be summed up as marrying, having children, and raising children.

"I want to grow up like my grandmother. Cui Ning has her own ideals.

"My granddaughter would have been better. The old lady laughed. ――――――Before I add more, I plan to catch insects, everyone has found insects, you can leave a message, thank you.
