Chapter 42 Garden

Not long after returning to the courtyard, the Tan family sent a maid to call Zhong Su over.

"Come with me." Zhong Su said to Ran Ning. He felt that Ran Ning had the right to know about his conversation with his mother, especially if it definitely involved Tan Ling.

Ran Ning shook her head and said, "I'm not going, Le Qing has arranged something for me today, and I want to do my best to complete it." ”

Zhong Su saw that there was nothing unusual about her, so he was relieved: "Okay, I'll be back soon." ”

"Well, go ahead." Ran Ning smiled, cleaned her hands and entered the warm pavilion.

"Mother." After entering the door, Zhong Su saluted the Tan family.

Tan Ling was still sitting next to Tan Ling, who was crying, Zhong Su frowned, and he was very impatient.

"Su'er, what do you think of this?" Tan asked.

"Tan Ling and I don't have any transgressions, so what should we do?" Zhong Su knew that his mother was using this incident to force him to comply, but he didn't accept it.

"It was indeed my negligence that day, but now that the matter has spread, I have to give Ling'er an explanation, right?" Tan was very dissatisfied with Zhong Su's attitude, but he didn't immediately blame him.

"This incident is a misunderstanding, and I think the top priority is to find out the person who spread this matter, let him clarify it, and restore Tan Ling's name." This matter has nothing to do with him, and he does not need to be responsible for it.

"How can you talk like that? After clarification, will it be possible to restore the name festival? The matter has already been spread, and explaining too much will only make people feel darker and darker. Tan clearly disagreed with Zhong Su's approach.

"Mother, things haven't been described yet, how do you know that they will get darker and darker?" Zhong Su's expression was very strict, and he said, "Since this matter concerns me, it is justified for me to investigate." I just married Ran Ning and entered the door, and I will never allow her to be wronged a little because of this kind of unfounded thing after entering the door. It is beneficial and harmless to me, to Ran Ning, and to Tan Ling. And if this matter really spreads from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, it is time for the mansion to establish a rule. ”

Tan Shi tightened his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what Ran Ning means?" ”

Zhong Su understood that this was her mother's dissatisfaction with Ran Ning, so she always pushed the things that didn't go her way to Ran Ning, "No, it's the child's meaning." Anyway, it's not difficult to investigate this matter, so why should my mother obstruct it? ”

"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Tan really doesn't understand, Tan Ling is a big girl, why can't Zhong Su look down on it? It's his cousin again, he's known him since he was a child, and he can trust his character and morality, why can't Zhong Su be tempted?

"The child is not filial, which annoys the mother. But this matter must be investigated, and I ask my mother to forgive me. Zhong Su did not back down.

At this time, Tan Ling's face could no longer be described as embarrassing, and he whimpered and said, "If there is really no way out, Ling'er will not come to disturb her cousin and aunt." Now that Ling'er's name has been lost, it is not easy to redeem it. If the cousin is unwilling to help Ling'er, Ling'er will only die to show her innocence. ”

"Su'er, what do you think you've forced Ling'er to be?" Tan's anger also jumped up, and he said, "If you don't agree, I'll talk to your father and your grandfather." ”

"Mother, calm down." Zhong Su still had no expression on his face, "Even my grandfather and father will agree with me to find out the matter." ”

"Auntie, Ling'er really has no face to live." As he spoke, Tan Ling stood up and ran around crying, looking as if he was trying to find a place to hit his head and die.

Seeing this, the Tan family hurriedly chased after him, and the maids also followed to stop him, for fear that he would really kill someone.

"Su'er, why don't you come and get Ling'er back into the house?" Tan Shi pulled Tan Ling, who continued to want to run out of the courtyard, and shouted at Zhong Su.

Zhong Su glanced indifferently at the people in the courtyard and walked out of the house. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for Zhong Su to get Tan Ling into the house, but they never thought that Zhong Su walked directly past everyone and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

As soon as Zhong Su left, Tan Ling stopped making trouble, and sat directly on the ground and began to cry. Tan looked at his son who left, and then at Tan Ling on the ground, and his heart was really tired.

In the warm pavilion, Ran Ning tried different styles and tunes several times, but they were not so satisfactory. She is not a more serious person at this time, writing music needs a little inspiration, just like when she suddenly came to her idea when she copied the house rules, sometimes the more reluctant it is, the less satisfactory it is.

No longer thinking about the tune, Ran Ning casually played the song that had been composed before, this piece is very soothing and does not require too many skills, but it is extremely comfortable to listen to. Sometimes the song is really not a comparison technique, but a look at the player's understanding of it and the meaning they want to express.

When Zhong Su was about to walk into Qingfeng Courtyard, he felt that the internal force in his body began to be a little uncontrollable again. Trying to press it with willpower, Zhong Su walked into the courtyard a little slowly. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard Ran Ning's clear music with almost no impurities, and his heart suddenly calmed down a lot. Slowly approaching the door, the closer he got, the clearer the sound of the piano became, and he seemed less uncomfortable.

Ran Ning's music seems to have the leisure and comfort of a paradise, and it seems to have a Buddhist scripture that makes people tranquil forgiveness, both of which are not obvious in the song, but they are dependent on each other, which makes people want to calm down, do not want to go past, do not think about the future, just want to enjoy the peace of the present.

Unconsciously, Zhong Su stood outside the door and listened to the whole song, and to his surprise, his internal strength was actually quiet for most of the time, and he did not get more and more chaotic as usual, and finally fell into madness.

Zhong Su was a little puzzled, and with a confirmed attitude, he pushed the door and walked in.

"Coming back?" Ran Ning smiled at him.

"Well, can you play the song again?" Zhong asked.

Seeing that he seemed to like it, Ran Ning nodded, "Of course." ”

Then I played it again.

Zhong Su lay down on the soft couch and listened quietly, and the chaotic internal force gradually fell asleep, as if he had never woken up.

Ran Ning played it twice, and when the sound of the piano stopped, she found that Zhong Su had fallen asleep at some point. Ran Ning tilted her head and looked at Zhong Su for a while, as if basically every time she played the piano, Zhong Su would fall asleep, could it really be that she played too dullly? But then again, it was really a little embarrassing for Zhong Su to let a military general listen to her play the piano.

Getting up and moving, Ran Ning walked out of the room softly. Bizhu, who was busy in the small kitchen, was about to go back to her snack that had already been prepared, but she didn't expect Ran Ning to come out first.

"Young lady." Bizhu walked over.

"Finished with a snack?" Ran Ning asked. She found that Zhong Su didn't like too sweet dim sum, so she specially asked Bizhu to make salty ones.

"Yes, it's cooling." Bizhu said. Those snacks taste better when cooled.

"Well, take me for a walk in the back garden." Ran Ning said.

"Yes. I heard that the hibiscus in the back garden is blooming just right this year, and if the young lady likes it, she can fold two branches and come back to insert the bottle. Bizhu smiled.

"Okay." Ran Ning nodded and walked out of the courtyard with Bizhu.

Not long after Ran Ning left, Zhong Su woke up. After getting up, Zhong Su sat on the couch and worked for a week, and only after making sure that his internal strength was okay did he let go. He didn't know why Ran Ning's piano sound was able to suppress his internal force, or if it was just a coincidence, but no matter what, it was good to let him avoid a madness. In fact, from the first time he heard Ran Ning's piano at the birthday banquet of the virtuous concubine, his heart was extremely calm, which is why he didn't leave his seat at that time, if it was before, he couldn't bear to listen to these at all, and those tunes would only make him feel irritable. And his aunt also found out about this, so she noticed Ran Ning.

The back garden is not big, but there should be a lot of the same, rockery ponds, pavilions, flowers and plants are also carefully cared for, and there is no place to feel the intentions of the florist, which is rare in the home of a group of generals.

There was a slight smell of paint wafting in the air, it was the craftsmen who had repainted the wooden fence, and it hadn't dried yet, but it didn't affect anything.

"Young lady, look, how well the flowers are seen." Bizhu is also the first time to come to the back flower courtyard, the little girl's nature is fully revealed, especially lively, "Look over there, there are a lot of birds." ”

Ran Ning looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, there were a lot of birds, colorful, valuable, and common, but I didn't know which ones flew in from outside, and which ones were raised by the house themselves.

When you come to the pond, there are a lot of koi in the pond, and the water is not clear, but you can still see the appearance of koi.

"Bring something to feed next time." Ran Ning said that she has grown so big, and she has not fed koi yet, and there is no such thing in Wanpingbo Mansion.

"Okay." Bizhu nodded immediately, she also thought it must be interesting.

"Cousin?" A delicate voice came, and Ran Ning didn't have to think about it to know that it was Tan Ling.

Turning around, Tan Ling was standing under the tree not far away, followed by her personal maid. Seeing Ran Ning turn his head, Tan Ling walked over.

"Is my cousin okay?" Ran Ning asked pretending to be concerned. She didn't know what her mother-in-law said to Zhong Su, but seeing Zhong Su's reaction when she came back, it shouldn't be pleasant.

"It's nothing, thank you cousin for your concern. In the end, I was too anxious and messed up. Tan Ling looked very embarrassed, which was very different from the expression when the sky was about to fall at the gate.

"That's good." Ran Ning didn't want to express any opinions, she understood what Zhong Su meant, and she also insisted on her position, so Tan Ling wanted to toss as she wanted.

"Doesn't my cousin like me?" Tan Ling looked at Ran Ning with a little sadness in her eyes, and said: "Su Wen's cousin-in-law is talented, and I don't read much every day, so I can't compare with my cousin-in-law." However, my cousin and I have been friends since childhood, and if he hadn't gone mad, he wouldn't have been so alienated from me. Maybe I'm being unreserved when I say this, but I'm sincere to my cousin......" Saying that, Tan Ling grabbed Ran Ning's hand with a sincere expression, "So, I hope my cousin-in-law won't hold a grudge against me for this......"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Ran Ning to react, his body shook, and he planted directly into the lake......

"Help, come on! Miss Cousin has fallen overboard!! The maid beside Tan Ling reacted very quickly and immediately screamed.

Ran Ning frowned, she really didn't know if Tan Ling was stupid or smart this time, but no matter what, she would not let the other party succeed.

touched Bizhu with his elbow, Bizhu also reacted quickly, nodded at Ran Ning, Ran Ning jumped and also went into the water.

Bizhu immediately opened her voice and shouted: "Come on, the young lady has gone into the water to save Miss Watch!" Come and help! ”

Bizhu's voice was louder than that of the maid, and she shouted at the maid for a while.

Hearing the sound, the family members also ran over.

Ran Ning knows how to water, so she is not too worried about going into the water. Just as Ran Ning approached Tan Ling and was about to catch her, her body suddenly became light, and she was carried out of the pond.

As soon as Ran Ning turned her head, she saw her holding her behind her, with a stern expression. And Tan Ling was still struggling in the water, screaming for help, and it seemed that he would be wiped out immediately.

"Are you hurt?" As soon as he landed, Zhong Su carefully checked Ran Ning, for fear that she would be injured a little.

"I'm fine, Tan Ling......" Ran Ning wiped the water around her eyes.

"Leave her alone." Zhong Su didn't even look at Tan Ling, took the cloak handed over by Xiao Wu who rushed over, put it on Ran Ning, and then picked up Ran Ning and flew towards Qingfeng Courtyard without looking back.

At this time, Tan, who heard the voice, also rushed over, and when he saw the chaos in front of him, he immediately said, "Why don't you save Miss Biao soon?!" ”

The family hurriedly begged Tan Ling, and when Tan Ling was rescued, he would no longer wake up.

"Go and get a doctor, and carry Miss Biao to the guest room." Tan said.

"Yes!" The subordinates should respond and act quickly.

"What's going on?" Tan asked, pointing to the maid beside Tan Ling.

"Auntie, you have to be the master of our girl!" The little maid immediately cried and said, "It was the young lady who pushed Miss Biao into the water!" ”
