Chapter 116: Words that are not idle
Zhou Jingran hurriedly took the tissue paper from Cheng Ke's hand, quickly swept it, raised his head, looked at Cheng Ke in amazement and asked:
"Where did Jianning see Xiao Nuan this week?"
Cheng Ke's forehead was beating, he stood up suddenly, and hurriedly turned back and forth in the room, Zhou Jingran hurriedly jumped off the kang, pulled him to the edge of the kang and comforted:
"Don't worry, but if you say a few unpleasant words, although it is excessive, it doesn't matter at this time, don't worry."
"What's not to worry about? Xiao Nuan is what he can say? What is he? Dare to give birth to such a covetous heart, this will ruin Xiao Nuan's reputation"
Cheng Ke roared and was about to jump up again, but Zhou Jingran hurriedly pressed him hard, eagerly comforting:
"What's the use of screaming loud and dancing high? You first be quiet, first be quiet and calm down before you can come up with an idea. ”
Cheng Ke gasped, closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said:
"I have to rush back"
"We've been on the road for seven days, and we'll be able to pick up the eldest brother the day after tomorrow, even if I'm okay here, you can set off now, march back to the capital in a hurry, and rush back to the capital as soon as you arrive, come and go, the fastest and fastest, not five days, where is the time? You have patience. ”
Cheng Ke pursed his lips tightly, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, he suddenly raised his hand and slammed the kang table to the ground, Zhou Jingran hurriedly jumped on the kang, dodging the tea and cup fragments that splashed around.
Zhou Jingran stood on the kang, shaking the water on his clothes, and called someone to come in and clean up, watching Nanhai and Qingping retreat, before sitting next to Cheng Ke and patting him lightly on the shoulder,
"Xiao Ke, this is really not a big deal, it's just a toad that barked twice, when we go back to Beijing, how do you want to clean him up? You're ...... now."
Zhou Jingran frowned and sighed,
"Anything related to Xiao Nuan, one sentence can make you mess up, if you go on like this, if you let ...... When people see your thoughts, why bother when something happens? You are quiet. ”
Cheng Ke gritted his teeth, pounded the kang fiercely, and didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Jingran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then persuaded:
"Xiao Nuan is still young, in the past few years, we can always come up with a way, but you can't think about this every day, we didn't worry about it in the first two years, and it hasn't been peaceful in the past few years, you still have some good things in your mind, otherwise, only the disadvantages You still moved your mind, first set the family matter, those people's families, you carefully pick out a family, you are not small, every time I enter the palace, my mother can't say three words, I must mention your family matter, mention the heir, alas, you first decide this family matter and then talk about it."
"What is certain? The door is too low, they can't look down on it, the door is too high, and you are afraid of committing other people's taboos, those noble shows, all of them are wrapped in a piece of wood, they look ugly and not half interesting, what do you want me to pick? ”
Cheng Ke craned his neck, stared at Zhou Jingran and said hatefully,
"Hide your thoughts, hide your thoughts, hide so much that even this kind of scum dares to jump out and say irresponsible remarks to Xiao Nuan, if it weren't for your scruples about this and that, I would have made it clear that Xiao Nuan is mine, who can do what? Who would dare to do what? ”
Zhou Jingran stared at Cheng Ke with wide eyes for a while, covered his forehead and fell back, and then sighed and said:
"Xiao Ke, I advise you to forget about Xiao Nuan, this time I go back, I'll pick ten, no, twenty beauties for you, all of them are stunning, all of them are no worse than Xiao Nuan, this Xiao Nuan, forget it, woe to the water"
"If it's just the word beauty, hum"
Zhou Jingran sat up, looked at Cheng Ke, sighed, Cheng Ke twisted his brows, and raised his voice to call Luo Chuan, Zhou Jingran straightened up, frowned and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
"Let Luochuan go back"
"You stubborn I have been talking about it for a long time, and you dare to persuade in vain? How many eyes are staring at you and me this time? You asked Luo Chuan to go back and clean up that toad, where can you hide it? Anyone with a little brain, can guess the reason why you are confused? ”
Zhou Jingran angrily pointed at Cheng Ke and scolded, Luo Chuan reported outside the door, and Zhou Jingran raised his voice and ordered:
"It's okay to go down"
Cheng Ke gritted his teeth hatefully, looked at Zhou Jingran and said in a low voice:
"If you are cautious, you should be as patient as King Min when you are young, and you should be like this now, if you want to learn again, how can you learn? If you deceive yourself like this again, when that time comes, you will either wash your neck and wait for the knife to fall, or you will ...... I had to be a thief, do you think there is a third way? ”
Zhou Jingran stared at Cheng Ke with wide eyes, and after a while, he came to his senses, his shoulders slowly shrugged down, Cheng Ke stood up violently, and went back to the wing room without looking back.
In the ancient mansion of the capital, Gu Xiao has moved into the Tang Mansion, and is with Mr. Suiyun's youngest son, Tang Muxian, and studied with Mr. Suiyun.
Mrs. Zhou took Gu Yunhuan to congratulate the country on the birthday of Mrs. Zheng, and for most of the month, Gufu received three or four, four or five posts every day, inviting Mrs. Zhou to come over, or if there was anything to congratulate, or to play and play, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li discussed, picked some out, and took Gu Yunhuan out to socialize almost every day.
Gu Yunhuan's family affairs, no matter what, can not be delayed any longer.
Laba sacrificed the stove, and the New Year was just around the corner, Mrs. Zhou and Gu Yunhuan went out early and returned late almost every day, and all the big and small things in the family were in the hands of Li Xiaonuan.
The year of the capital and the year of Shangli Town, after all, are different, Li Xiaonuan was extremely cautious to invite Mama Sun as a helper, big and small, as long as you can think of it, you have invited Mrs. Li to show it, and then arrange it.
After eating at noon that day, Li Xiaonuan instructed Yukou to take the burden wrapped in gold and silver bills, open it and spread it on the couch, and said with a smile:
"This is the appearance of the gold and silver shop sent over, I counted, there are more than 30 suits, there are one tael, two taels, five taels, ancestors see, do we choose to do a few, or only a few to do?"
Old Madam Li straightened up, flicked the gold and silver bills in the bag with her hand, looked at them carefully one by one, and said with a smile:
"We haven't been in the capital for a few years, the appearance of this gold and silver coin has a lot of fresh tricks to do some, the silver coin poured a thousand taels of silver, 600 taels poured into a tael, the rest, half poured two taels, half poured five taels, kept for rewarding people, the gold coin also poured a thousand taels, half two taels, half poured five taels, kept for the New Year's Festival to meet the table gift, silver coin poured more pen ingots Ruyi and flowers bloom rich."
Mrs. Li explained carefully, Li Xiaonuan nodded and agreed, called Yukou in, and told her to confess. Old Madam Li leaned back, looked at Li Xiaonuan with soft eyes, and then said:
"In the sewing room, let your girl take a look, those purses should be rushed out two days earlier, everything will be done in advance, and it will not be busy."
Li Xiaonuan smiled and nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Li laughed,
"In the past few years, although it is said that you have helped Yun Huan, but Yun Huan's lazy temper, this family affairs are all on your hands, and everything is getting more and more verbose day by day when I am older."
"Ancestor, this is not verbose, in previous years in Shangli Town, the house was so quiet, what is the matter? Now it's not the same, firstly, the rules of the capital are the same as those in Shangli Town, and secondly, this human relationship is really a lot, and the favor of a year in Shangli Town is not as good as more than a day now, and the people who come and go are all high-ranking families, the most important rules and decent, if it weren't for the old ancestors who always mentioned it, I don't know how many disasters I have caused."
Li Xiaonuan sighed and said with a smile, Old Madam Li straightened up with a smile,
"You girl, the most coaxing the ancestor to like the old ancestor is old, and his memory is not good, in a word, I have thought about it for a few days, and I have forgotten it for a few days, I want to ask you, when are you going to go to the Gospel Temple again and see the master?"
"I ...... It's better not to go, the master doesn't like people to disturb his cultivation, so I just said a few words in my heart, he is a high-ranking monk, so he naturally knows God. ”
Li Xiaonuan moved her body and said a little uncomfortably, she didn't want to go to the old man's place again.
Old Madam Li laughed, stared at her for a while, and said slowly:
"It's up to you, the ancestor told you, if you really have your heart, the master may really know"
Li Xiaonuan suddenly remembered the words of Master Idealism, a chill rose slightly in his heart, he thought about it, looked up at Mrs. Li, and said in a low voice:
"Old Ancestor, how do I think that master doesn't look like a pure cultivator, nor does he look like a monk who has attained Taoism, he is very weird."
Old Madam Li nodded slightly, waved her hand to rebuke the maid waiting in the house, and said in a low voice:
"What is it like to be a high-ranking monk, how can there be a certain amount? The master is a master, and he probably has an extraordinary background. ”
Old Madam Li sighed softly, and then said:
"All over the capital and the whole world know that the idealistic master of the Gospel Temple is a high-ranking monk and has profound Buddhism, but the master has never spoken the Fa, has preached the scriptures, and even very few people have seen him. No one can say where this came from, in the early years, I just thought it was all rumors, and I didn't believe it. ”
Li Xiaonuan listened intently, and Mrs. Li paused for a while before continuing:
"I began to think that the master is extraordinary, and it has something to do with Xiao Er's father, that year, Xiao Er's father went to Beijing to take the exam, more than a month before the exam, and a group of lifters went to the Gospel Temple to play, the master asked people to call him into the abbot's room, more than ten or twenty lifters, just called him in alone, didn't say a word, just stared at him for half an hour, and sent him out."
Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows, surprised, Mrs. Li looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile, and said gently:
"You think it's weird, don't you? Xiao Er's father didn't take it to heart, and then won the yuan, and won the champion, after more than a year, while talking, I accidentally mentioned this matter, I just knew, the next morning, I went to the gospel temple, asked to see the master, but the abbot said, the master wandered away. ”
