Chapter 15 Rules are like clothes
"Grandmother. Cui Ning rubbed to the old lady's side and coquettishly, "I'm hungry." ”
The wrinkles on the old lady's face were relaxed, and she turned her head and instructed the Lin family, "Lin Niang, go and pass the rice." ”
Lin responded, but felt shocked in his heart, the old lady is a very regular person, and she will never eat if she doesn't eat every day, but recently she has frequently made exceptions for Cui Ning, which shows that she really likes this lady from the bottom of her heart.
The Lin family couldn't help but glance at Cui Ning more, there were more excellent ladies in the He clan, but this lagging behind was looked down upon by the old lady!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not an uncommon thing, the old lady was quite free and easy when she was young, but after marrying into the Cui family, she cut off the past and never used to be.
When the meal was served, the old lady and Cui Ning were talking in the courtyard.
The more the old lady looked at her, the more she liked it, "Tell grandmother, what do you like to do on weekdays?"
Cui Ning thought for a while, "I'll be honest, my grandmother can't dislike me." ”
The old lady smiled, "Do you still want me to listen to lies?"
"I read a lot of Taoist classics on weekdays, and I often play chess with the qin. There are also drawing talismans and alchemy, Cui Ning silently added some in her heart, and then continued, "Actually, I like to listen to people blow suona, but...... Others say that listening to suona is not conducive to developing a quiet and peaceful temperament. ”
"Strange girl. The old lady held the Buddha beads in her hand, and her eyebrows were a little naughty, "Actually, I don't like to chant Buddha." ”
"Huh?" Cui Ning grew her mouth and reacted after a while, "Grandmother is not afraid that the Buddha will blame?"
The old lady lowered her eyes and glanced at the Buddha beads, "I don't have a Buddha in my heart, how can I care about the Buddha's joy or anger? I am really lonely in this courtyard alone, just find something to do, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, but I will believe everything that makes sense." I read them just to find peace of mind. ”
"Grandmother didn't seem happy. Cui Ning could feel a trace of sadness from her calm expression.
"Not happy. I don't look down on any of the girls in the clan, and they are afraid of me, so they don't come here. The old lady patted her on the head, "Fortunately, I will find some solace in you in my lifetime." ”
Cui Ning was puzzled, "My sisters are very good, they are well-informed, and they are knowledgeable, why doesn't my grandmother like it?"
This reason is really difficult to explain, Chen Jun Xie Xuan He in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they are nostalgic for such a glorious stage, and they are also proud of it, so although the years have passed, it is inevitable that the whole family still retains some shadows of the Wei and Jin clans, which makes them more uninhibited than some of the emerging nobles later. The old lady was born in such a family, and when she was young, she was famous again, and she was not a decent person in her bones.
The old lady said, "It's good to advance and retreat in a certain way and be knowledgeable, but if each one is about the same, it doesn't seem interesting." If you want to go smoothly in the future, you must learn the rules, but Grandmother hopes that you will never forget your original self. ”
Cui Ning was puzzled, "Isn't it to learn the rules just to change?"
"Nope. The old lady said seriously, "Rules are like clothes, and general rules are used to avoid shame, if you learn exquisitely and well, it will be like putting on a beautiful dress, which can add a lot of color to you, and you can't let yourself become a gorgeous and delicate dress." ”
Cui Ning heard this theory for the first time, and she didn't fully understand it for a while, but she already felt that it made sense in her heart!
"Grandmother means that not learning the rules is like going out naked?"
"Yes. The old lady smiled, "When you were naked, others only thought you were innocent, and when you ran naked when you were older, what do you think others will think?"
Cui Ning was embarrassed, and said solemnly, "I will definitely learn to make clothes in the future!"
The old lady knew that she had understood, but continued, "The opinion of others is secondary, you learn the rules for your own sake. There are many people in this world who have become clothes, and you have not, they treat you as an anomaly, and you don't want to be used as a joke for those clothes as a pastime, you have to learn to put on a disguise, this is the way to survive. Grandmother knows that you are a smart child, and those simple rules must be learned immediately, but I am afraid that you will be bound by your clothes and become like them. ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, I will be able to get dressed and meet people, take off my clothes and sleep. Cui Ning said.
The words are not coarse.
"When you learn it, you will find that talking and doing things are actually very interesting things, and I will tell you slowly in the future. The old lady was afraid that too many things would be stuffed at once, and Cui Ning would feel confused, so she was not in a hurry.
She rubbed the Buddha beads in her hand and said, "There are few innocent people in the world, and it is lonely to save your heart." ”
Cui Ning tilted her head and thought about it, but she didn't understand, but she knew that this was just the old lady's emotion, so she didn't ask more.
While eating, Cui Ning deliberately paid attention to her mannerisms.
The old lady saw that she was blunt, and then pointed out, "You do these rules to make yourself look more elegant and beautiful, and at the same time not affect other people." One qiē is based on this, even if it is a little different from others, it is not in the way. ”
It is in people's nature to tolerate good things, and this is a constant truth.
These etiquettes at the dinner table are very small things, and there is no need to compare every move with a ruler.
The old lady personally demonstrated, and Cui Ning learned quickly.
Her change is different from the rigidity of the Ling Sect, but naturally reveals a kind of demure elegance.
At night.
Cui Ning hugged the pillow and insisted on sleeping with the old lady, and the old lady was very happy.
Cui Ning asked the old lady how to sleep in the rules, because the Ling family had been teaching her how to sleep, but she couldn't do anything.
"Sleep as you like. The old lady didn't expect the Ling family to even care about this, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, "If you kick your husband out of bed in the future, it will be useless for him, and he should sleep on the ground." ”
Cui Ning laughed, "It's so good to be here with grandmother!"
"You're just trying to be at ease!" the old lady debunked her.
Cui Ning hugged the old lady with a smile, "It's also comfortable, it's okay to be at ease except for it." ”
Although the Ling family is Cui Ning's mother, she treats her very wholeheartedly, but Cui Ning always feels that there is something between the two, even if she desperately longs for maternal love in her heart, it is difficult to really get close to her in the time, and she really feels a strong family affection in the old lady.
Cui Ning was sleepy, and he didn't forget to remind him in a daze, "Grandmother, don't forget to help me find the jade pendant." ”
"Good. The old lady stroked her back, and there was astringency in her eyes.
A sweet night's sleep.
The next day, when Cui Ning woke up, the old lady had already gone to go to the morning class.
She got up and was about to get dressed and get out of bed, when she suddenly saw a wisp of red tassels on the side of the pillow, and reached out and pulled it out, and pulled out a piece of jade pendant!
The jade pendant is white all over, and the two fish heads and tails are connected, in the shape of Tai Chi, which is her original piece!
Cui Ning was overjoyed, hugged the jade pendant and kissed it, rubbed and rubbed, and tied it tightly on the belt. She thought that another day she would have to find a rope to explain and hang it around her neck.
She got dressed, ran to the Buddha hall with light steps, and saw that the old lady was chanting, so she did not disturb her, and sat down on the futon next to her and waited quietly.
This is her second visit to the temple, the room is not big, and it is very elegantly cleaned, but somehow, it is much cooler than the next room. She looked around, but found nothing like an ice basin.
After the old lady finished reciting the scriptures, the grandparents and grandchildren went to have breakfast together.
Cui Ning couldn't wait to stick to the old lady, "Grandmother, how did you find the jade pendant?"
