Chapter 58: Makeup

Li Shuning's Baoyue Xuan Situ Ningbing is no stranger, in the small half a year that she entered this Anguo Mansion, she came to this Baoyue Xuan the most in addition to her own courtyard and Liufangtang. I remember the first time I came back, Situ Ningbing was confused by the three words "Hug Yue Xuan", and thought that there must be an elegant scenery inside, maybe there is a pool of crescent-shaped spring water in the courtyard, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard are correspondingly vibrant during the day, and the spring water is reflected in a bright moon in the quiet night......

When I walked in, I realized that she was thinking too much, Baoyue Xuan did have a pool of spring water, but it was not used to reflect the moon, its role was more realistic, it was used to water the fruits and vegetables on the fence in the yard. If this courtyard is not in the Anguo Mansion, it is a farm on the outskirts. Situ Ningbing's mind automatically appeared in the spies' report to the Li family, what did Li Shuning say?

Li Shuning, the eldest daughter of An Guogong, is seventeen years old, three in line, lively in nature, and likes farming......

Situ Ning shook his head, in the future, the days of the Qi Palace's mansion will either be very happy, or the lightning and thunder will be cloudy!

"Young lady, aren't you going in?" The little maid who led the way at the door saw Situ Ningbing staring up at the three big characters of "Hug Yue Xuan", and was a little cramped and uneasy.

"Thinking that this Baoyue Xuan will be empty after that, I am a little reluctant. Situ Ningbing gave a rare explanation.

She is a frequent visitor to this hugging Yuexuan, often playing with Li Shuning, the little maid saw that her kindness was not as rude as rumored, so she lost so many scruples, nodded honestly and said: "Miss is reluctant to young lady, saying that it is rare for someone to play with her, the other cousins and cousins are dignified and polite one by one, and the opening and closing of her mouth is either poetry and song or the uninteresting tightness of the female precept code, but she also makes her not have the demeanor of everyone like a mountain village girl." As soon as the words fell, there was a low laugh, Situ Ningbing turned around and glanced at a few maids behind him, they immediately became honest, and they hung their heads one by one and didn't dare to make a sound. The little maid also knew that she was speechless, and looked at Situ Ningbing timidly with a red face.

"In this Hug Yuexuan, you can just talk casually, and when you go to the palace in the future, you must learn to keep your mouth shut, you must know that trouble comes from your mouth, and when the time comes, not only you but also your young lady may suffer!" When teaching people, Situ Ningbing was also soft-spoken, but the sharpness in his eyes still made the little girl tremble and tremble.

In the bright room of the main room, Li Shuning's head was trembling with a blue and white porcelain bowl on her head to practice walking small steps, and when she saw Situ Ningbing coming in, she was happy and only called "sister-in-law", and then heard a "bang", and the blue and white porcelain bowl on her head suddenly fell to pieces.

"One more hour of practice. Mama Lin's voice was calm, but Li Shuning almost cried, "Mama, please spare me, I've been practicing all morning, my legs are cramping, and I have to leave my mouth to pant when I hang myself!"

Mama Lin looked at Li Shuning expressionlessly and didn't speak, but Mama Su on the side smiled and said: "Miss, don't blame the slaves and maids for being strict, it's just that first, we have been entrusted by our wife to teach you the rules and etiquette, if you don't teach you well, how to explain to your wife? ”

"It's all in the middle of the day, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and the two grandmothers have worked hard all morning, so it's not too late to have lunch first and then come to fulfill their duties. When Situ Ningbing saw Li Shuning's scene, he remembered that he was forced by his mother to be a student girl that day, and how could he save her if he was sick.

The two grandmothers of Su Lin were given to Situ Ningbing by the noble concubine to marry, although the Wang family treated them with great courtesy, and Situ Ningbing never sent them as slaves, but both of them knew who their masters were in measure, so they naturally obeyed, and retreated according to the rules.

As soon as the two grandmothers left, Li Shuning seemed to fall apart, and she sat on the ground as soon as her legs were soft or not, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not.

Situ Ningbing couldn't help but laugh when she saw her like this, "Your rule is that the more you learn, the more you go back, and there is a chair that does not sit on the ground." ”

Li Shuning has been tossed a lot these days, and she couldn't help but pour bitter water when she heard the words, "Sister-in-law, don't pick on me! You hide from the idle lady in your yard to save you from the morning and dusk, and the third brother doesn't dare to provoke you again, the second brother and your well water don't violate the river water, you live like a fairy, how can you know my suffering! I have to be forced to learn the rules by two grandmothers before I open my eyes early in the morning, and I don't know which one of them came up with these ghost things in a frenzy! There are rules for eating, drinking, lying, sitting, and walking, and they must be according to the standards!"

"Sister-in-law, you tell me, it's enough to be sorry for yourself if you don't have fun in time for decades in a hurry, and you have to change the law to toss yourself, isn't this sick!"

"It's sick. Situ Ningbing slowly walked up to her and stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground, "But most people in this world are sick, even if you are not sick, you will be infected over time, even those who are lucky enough not to be infected will be regarded as alien and cannot be allowed to the world." So most of the time I choose to feign illness. ”

Li Shuning leaned on her shoulder weakly, and said sullenly: "I understand what my sister-in-law means." ”

Situ Ningbing patted her on the back, "Don't look like you're going to die! It's not like you! Knowing that you have suffered these days, I specially brought delicious food to comfort you." As he spoke, he pulled Li Shuning to sit down at a pear blossom woodcut embroidered table in the room, and when he raised his head, he saw that Lian and Hongluan each walked in with a food box.

"Rotten Horn", "Buckwheat Flour", "Money Meat", "Snoiring Noodles", "Sugar Oil Cake"......

Li Shuning looked at the snacks on the table, and suddenly came to her senses, and she didn't wait for the maid to take the chopsticks and eat them happily.

"You eat slowly, you eat this way, you know that it is too hard to learn the rules and give you hunger, and those who don't know think that the two grandmothers won't give you food!"

Li Shuning was halfway through eating a bowl of buckwheat noodles, and when she heard this, she swallowed the food in her mouth indiscriminately after three or two strokes, and drank two more mouthfuls of sour plum soup before she said indignantly: "If they don't give me food, I'll put up with it!" But sister-in-law, do you know, they actually let me practice the rules and manners of eating in front of a table of delicacies when my hungry eyes are full of gold stars! They also said in a high-sounding manner that when I enter the palace to congratulate during the New Year's Festival, I am hungry for most of the day, and if I lose my manners in front of the nobles, I will be disrespectful and will be punished!" Speaking of excitement, he suddenly lost the interest in eating and slammed the silver chopsticks in his hand on the table, "What kind of life do you say this is called! If you marry into the royal family, then I might as well learn from my aunt and become a monk!"

I don't know how important these words are, but Situ Ningbing also knows that she is suppressed and ruthless, so she will not choose to speak, and she doesn't want to be harsh on her, but she is half joking and half reminding: "You can only say this in front of me, if you change your wife, do you dare to mention a word?"

Li Shuning's arrogance disappeared in an instant, her eyebrows drooped, she looked at the snacks on the table, and suddenly reached out and twisted a piece of sugar and oil cake into her mouth, sighing while eating, "There are so many delicious foods, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them anymore!"

"Look at your little bit of talent!" Situ Ningbing couldn't laugh or cry, and when she saw her loveless appearance, she had to comfort her: "The things in Chang'an City are more delicious!"

Li Shuning somehow had a very clear mind at this time, and not only was she not happy but even more sad when she heard the words, "That has nothing to do with me, I have to be locked in a golden wire cage when I enter Chang'an City, and I am no longer a free bird." She stared at Situ Ningbing with a pair of dark eyes, "Sister-in-law, I really envy you when I think about it now!"

How do you know that Situ Ningbing was extremely puzzled, and said, "If I say that I envy you more, will you feel better?" and immediately sent away all Li Shuning's grievances.

"You will never be happy when you look at other people's lives. Situ Ningbing stuffed his chopsticks into Li Shuning's hand, "Hurry up and eat, the two grandmothers will soon run out of food." ”

For the first time in her life, Li Shuning complained and was ridiculed like this, and suddenly turned her grief and anger into appetite and tasted all the snacks on the table, and the consequence was that she had to walk back and forth in the house with cramped legs to eat.

Situ Ningbing consciously took her arm and walked together, and explained the meaning of today's visit by the way: "I came here today to give you a makeup gift on behalf of me and your second brother, and the gift list has been collected by your eldest maid." I know you're too lazy to look at it, but I've already asked people to send it to Jin Yingtang to ask Mrs. to receive your dowry with it. As for the rest......" Glancing at Pity, she had already offered a rosewood box.

"This is a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and the title deed of a three-entry courtyard and four shops in Chang'an City still has 20,000 silver tickets, you can collect it yourself. ”

She said lightly, as if she was just giving a gadget, but she frightened Li Shuning, "Sister-in-law, you give too much!"

"I didn't give it, it was your second brother who gave it, I just ran an errand. "The antiques, calligraphy and paintings that came out of Li Jiayi's private vault and moved into her private vault can be worth more than ten times these! Situ Ningbing never does loss-making business.

"You also know that your second brother has always looked down on these cheesy things, so you should do him a favor and deal with it for him. "Being generous to others, Situ Ningbing has no pressure.

Li Shuning originally wanted to excuse herself, no matter what, it was a lot of money, even if it was her brother-in-law, it was too much, but listening to Situ Ningbing's indifferent tone, it seemed that neither she nor the second brother took this bit of silver to heart. If he refuses again, it will not only seem hypocritical, but also live up to the kindness of his brother and sister-in-law, so he simply accepted it generously.

"It's just..."Li Shuning still had some scruples, "My sister-in-law gave me so many things, I'm afraid that there will be another trouble on Cui's side." It's not that she's afraid of Cui's, it's just that she doesn't want to embarrass her brother and sister-in-law because of her dowry.

Situ Ningbing smiled leisurely, "Then let her make trouble!"
