Jingxin Temple, located on Taiyi Mountain on the outskirts of Chang'an City, is the ancestor of the Situ family, Situ Ningbing's grandmother Dugu specially ordered her son Situ Xin to build in order to repair the Buddha, covering a small area of three small temples, and I don't know why Dugu has never come out since he entered the Jingxin Temple.

Today, I chased my mother to this small temple in the mountains, and Situ Ningbing finally saw this legendary grandmother, Dugu. It is very strange that this grandmother hides in the temple, whether it is on weekdays or during the New Year's holidays, her children and grandchildren come to visit her, but she treats Mrs. Situ differently, who is both a daughter-in-law and a niece, but she can see Dugu back and forth.

Followed by Mrs. Situ, under the guidance of a middle-aged nun Situ Ningbing, she bypassed the Buddha hall in front and arrived at a wing room in the backyard. The nun bent her middle finger and knocked lightly on the door three times, and then whispered: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. has brought the eldest lady to see you." ”

After a moment of silence in the room, the door squeaked open, and an old woman of fifty or sixty years old leaned out of it and nodded to Mrs. Situ. With that, he closed the door again.

After a while, the old woman came out of it, respectfully saluted the mother and daughter, and then said slowly: "Mrs. Tai, please come in and talk." ”

As soon as Situ Ningbing stepped into the wing room with one foot, she felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her, and she didn't look for it, just didn't know, half a step behind her mother, hung her head and saluted the old lady who was sitting at her head meticulously.

I only heard Dugu's faint "um", and said slowly to Mrs. Situ: "Peony, you get up." The voice sounded quite kind, but she seemed to have completely ignored the fact that there was also Situ Ningbing.

Situ Ningbing was hung like that, always maintaining a posture of bowing her head, Mrs. Situ couldn't help but feel distressed and anxious when she looked at it, and wanted to intercede with Dugu's but was stopped by the old woman pulling her sleeves. She also knew that this was her mother-in-law testing her daughter, and she and her sister were also tested like this back then, but she couldn't last long every time, but her sister survived with no different face.

Situ Ningbing always lowered his head, his body did not move at all, but his thoughts drifted away, recalling the years when he had an incense burner on his head, practiced saluting under the scorching sun, and gritted his teeth even if he sweated like rain, and now this point is not worth mentioning whether it is difficult or test!

After about a stick of incense, after Mrs. Situ changed her sitting posture dozens of times, Dugu finally slowly spit out a sentence, "Okay, you get up." ”

"Thank you, grandmother. Situ Ningbing stood up straight without hurry, still standing with his head down.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry or impatient, Dugu couldn't help but nod her head generously, and praised Mrs. Situ: "Your daughter really has a little bit of your sister's shadow, but... She was a little more arrogant. Just now, she was obviously saluting herself, but she had an aura that was neither humble nor arrogant, and it always made people think that even if she knelt in front of you, you were not half a point nobler than her.

"Lift up your head and let me see. Since Situ Ningbing came in, Dugu has never seen her appearance clearly, only heard Mama Zhong next to her say that she was born like Miss Biao, she really couldn't bear the guilt and curiosity in her heart and called her in, look at her without squinting, she is a beautiful girl, and on a whim she actually took out the topic of testing the two nieces back then.

Dugu's mind was ethereal, and in a trance he seemed to recall the scene when he participated in his niece Dugu Fengyi and the Ping Ceremony more than 20 years ago. At that time, Fengyi, Qingli was dignified and quiet, and came under the attention of everyone, although she lowered her head, she still had a beautiful crown...... Combining the person in front of her with the Feng Yi in her memory, she only felt that the niece who died early was alive again, and she was happy, surprised and sad in her heart... I don't know what it feels like, but I feel that my eyes are sore, and if I don't try to endure it, the next moment tears will burst out of my eyes!

However, when she saw Situ Ningbing's eyes that were like deep pools, the Dugu clan suddenly sobered up! The deceased person, after all, is gone, even if the silhouette of the girl in front of her, and even the demeanor and demeanor are similar, they are still not Fengyi......

"Don't stand still, come and sit next to me. Although I was a little disappointed in my heart, after all, it was my granddaughter Dugu who treated Situ Ningbing very kindly.

Situ Ningbing thanked him, sat sideways beside the Dugu clan, and then rightly looked at the grandmother he met for the first time. Although he is close to the age of the sixtieth year, Dugu still has black and shiny hair, held by a transparent jasper hairpin, with a ruddy complexion and vaguely distinguishable between his eyebrows.

Dugu held Situ Ningbing's hand with one hand, and stroked the broken hair on her right cheek with the other, and his fingertips crossed the cold dragon mask, Dugu's eyes were three points sad, three points of pity, three points of happiness, and finally said: "You are a good boy, you have suffered outside for so many years, but there is an old saying that Sai Weng is not blessed if he loses his horse, no one thought of the prince... If something like that happens, you can be considered to have escaped, and you must live a good life in the future, and you must not suffer yourself. ”

Situ Ningbing smiled leisurely and said playfully: "Grandmother's words and granddaughter have written it down, but I have grown up so much and have suffered since others never knew what self-suffering was." ”

"You kid!" Dugu was stunned for a moment, then smiled rarely, grabbed Situ Ningbing's hand and said with relief: "You can be so open-minded, grandmother is relieved." As he spoke, he turned his head and lectured Mrs. Situ and said, "You, a mother, are not as good as a child! Tell me, what are you doing this time to complain to me?"

It's good that she didn't mention it, Mrs. Situ's attention was originally on her own daughter, and she had almost forgotten the original intention of coming here, and when she reminded her, she remembered it, and the fire in her heart burned again, and immediately said angrily: "My mother is too underestimated on me! I didn't come to sue this time, I asked my mother to go out of the mountain to kill my relatives!" Before Dugu could ask, Mrs. Situ had already told Duguren about Duguren's sale of his daughter for glory last night, and at the end she was indignant: "Where did my sister leave any dance scores?!" This morning, news came from the palace that the emperor wanted to canonize Ah Xiu as the imperial concubine. Mother! Listen, Imperial Concubine! The girls in our family are only for the main wife, even if it is a continuation of the string, it is not a matter of succession, no matter how expensive this imperial concubine is, it is also a concubine, when has my Dugu clan ever lost this kind of person? !

Compared with Mrs. Situ's excitement, Dugu's face was calm, but Situ Ningbing could judge from the strength with which she grabbed her hand that although she had cultivated for so many years, the old lady still couldn't stop her heart.

"What do you want me to do?" No matter what he was doing, Dugu's face was well concealed, and his light tone had a kind of indifference that didn't matter to him and seemed to be powerless sadness, "Don't say that the wood is already in the boat, even if the emperor only thinks about it, what can I do?" back then, I couldn't persuade my younger brothers and sisters to kill your sister and Ji'er, they went early because of regret and guilt, I lived in this small temple for twenty-three years, and I was afraid that I was only dead, where would the emperor and your brother remember that there was an elder like me?"

Mrs. Situ opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dugu's raised hand, "If you really feel sorry for your niece, go to the palace to accompany her, not everyone is like your sister, An Yun can get by, and she can pass if she wants to." "An Yun is the name of Concubine Li, Situ Ningbing heard her say a few words, and knew that although her mother lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, she was not blind to things outside the window, and she also kept people outside.

"The emperor's mother can't take care of it, so don't you plan to take care of Duguren's shameless bastard girl?!" Mrs. Situ was a little unwilling, "He did such an ugly thing, no matter what he said, he should be called over and beaten up!"

This time, without waiting for Dugu to speak, Situ Ningbing couldn't help but say: "Mother, if you really just want to beat your uncle, you don't have to call him here, I promise you that tomorrow he will definitely make him have no good meat on his body!" Her mother knows that the reason why she is so angry is only thirty percent at most because of poor Duguxiu, and those seventy percent are because she lost the face of the Dugu clan for this matter, and Dugu Ren is still a good man, yes, I am all for the good posture of the Dugu family, and there are only two ways to make her angry, either to kill Dugu Ren, or to make him kowtow and admit his mistakes.

Sure enough, Mrs. Situ was unhappy when she heard this, and the spearhead suddenly turned to Situ Ningbing, "Your kid is too ruthless, no matter how bad he is, how can your uncle beat him?"

Situ Ningbing didn't react yet, Dugu couldn't stand it anymore, glared at his daughter-in-law and said: "It's you who wants to beat, and it's you who doesn't let you beat, what do you want to do right? Don't you still want your eldest brother to compensate you?" Before Mrs. Situ could answer, Dugu shook his head and said, "You save some worry!" Don't say that you did something to him at the gate of the palace last night to disgrace him, he is still waiting for you to apologize to him, just say that he is now the head of the family, and what he does can be regarded as a single-minded for the Dugu family, even if he takes the crooked road, it is not something that you can control as a sister who goes out! You put your heart on Qiming's marriage is serious, don't worry about the affairs of your mother's family, the sky is falling from your brother, and it can't fall on your head!"
