9. Punishment
"Thank you E-Niang for your concern," Ning Xi bowed again, and said with a smile, "Xi'er is fortunate to see the rules of the palace, if they can catch up with the Jingjun Palace, Xi'er will definitely let them teach the people in the palace, and carry forward the style of the Dutong Mansion." ”
Yan Fujin looked at her and was silent. Ning Xi also looked directly at Chang Fujin, neither humble nor arrogant.
Yan Fujin suddenly laughed, she approached Ning Xi, and said in her ear: "A very smart woman, but unfortunately she refuses to be used by me, but wants to help people who shouldn't be helped." ”
Ning Xi smiled and said calmly: "Xi'er knows that she is blessed, and she can't help Eniang. Moreover, Xi'er married into the mansion only to die in peace, and did not want to be mixed into right and wrong. Marrying the third young master is fate, no wonder others. If there is anything inconsiderate, I hope that Eniangnian will be young and ignorant in Xi'er. ”
Chang Fujin approached Ning Xi and said in a low voice: "Do you really think that marrying the third young master is 'fate'?" Ignoring Ning Xi's surprised gaze, Chang Fujin turned to Yu Rui and said: "Rui'er, you are not a newcomer, this time your Fujin does not understand the rules, mainly because you are not well managed." Copy the Diamond Sutra ten times and give it to me early tomorrow morning! ”
"Yes, E-niang." Yu Rui replied.
"Take care of your own people, don't make any jokes," Yan Fujin glanced at Ning Xi contemptuously and continued, "A woman who can only make her husband happy, and has no other skills, our Xilin Jueluo family can't afford it." ”
Ning Xi was still immersed in Chang Fujin's words just now, and didn't hear Chang Fujin's words. Could it be that Chang Fu Jin knows something? But he has obviously helped Yu Rui take care of all his flaws, could it be that there is something loophole on Yu Rui's side?
It wasn't until Chang Fujin left that Ning Xi was still stunned, Yu Rui pulled her sleeve, she reacted, and said, "Congratulations to Eniang." This time, Chang Fujin didn't embarrass her, but just squinted at her again and walked out of the door slowly.
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" Yu Rui took her hand and asked, "Yan Fujin was so close to you just now, did she whisper something to you?" ”
Ning Xi looked at him in a daze, hesitating to say anything to him. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again. No, I've already pleaded with Amma, this matter has passed, if I bring it up now, what's it? Yan Fujin should also understand this truth, if she really knows the Tao, she can say it when Ama comes. Chang Fujin should have wanted to provoke their husband and wife, so he said it on purpose, right? Yes, it must be.
Thinking like this, Ning Xi restrained his emotions and said: "It's nothing, it's just that it's me who Chang Fujin doesn't like it, but she asked her to punish you, and I can't help it." ”
Yu Rui smiled: "What's the matter, I've always been a thorn in her eye, she often troubled me when you didn't come, and I got used to it." Besides," he said, stroking the broken hair on Ning Xi's forehead, "I invited you to ride a horse, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to blame yourself at all." ”
Ning Xi nodded, she followed Yu Rui into the study, stood in front of the table, picked up the inkstone and said, "Then I'll grind it for you." ”
Yu Rui took her hand and said, "You go back first, don't stand here." I won't be with you tonight, go to bed early. ”
Ning Xi's face turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head, broke away from Yu Rui's hand, and took a piece of ink into the inkstone by herself. Yu Rui stood up, held her hand again, and said gently: "Obedient, ten times, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to finish copying." I'm going to be distracted when you're here! With that, he smiled slyly.
Ning Xi's face turned even redder, she put down what she was holding and left the study as if she were running away.
Yu Rui looked at her back as she left in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile, his wife was more interesting than he imagined!
Sitting at the table and writing hard, Yu Rui didn't close his eyes all night. As soon as it was dawn, he finally finished copying. Walking to the side of the bed and glancing at the sleeping Ning Xi, he smiled, still don't wake her up.
By the time Ning Xi woke up, Yu Rui had already left. Ning Xi sat up, summoned Nian'er, and asked, "Didn't the third young master sleep all night?" ”
"Yes, Gege." Nian'er said first.
"Where did he go early in the morning? Please take me there after that. "Tide Road.
"Hui Gege," Nian'er said, "The third young master is taking care of a few Zhuangzi affairs, which one is specific, the slave maid is not very clear, let the two sisters of Lan'er and Zhi'er take you there in a while." ”
"Then you can stay here today and have a good rest." Ning Xi smiled, "But when you go over there, be careful, don't be looked at." ”
Nian'er's face turned red all of a sudden. Ning Xi smiled, and I don't know if the person who said Lu Dao saw Nian'er's thoughts!
Accompanied by Lan'er and Zhi'er, Ningxi went out of the house very smoothly. She did not wear a red dress and a flag head like in the house, but wore a royal blue dress, simply tied her hair in a bun on the back of her head, and inserted a hosta, simple but noble.
The streets were very calm, there was no imaginary smoke of gunpowder, but as usual, bursts of shouting were endless. At the end of the road, the freshly assembled walls reveal dark red bricks, as if to tell the story of the recent ravages of the city of Beijing. From time to time, a few richly dressed foreigners walked by, with a smug smile on their faces that belonged to the invaders. Ning Xi clenched his fists and suppressed the hatred in his eyes. Amma had taught herself how to wield a gun, and one day, if a woman had a chance to go into battle, she would join in and fight those men with joy!
Ning Xi glanced behind her, and in addition to Lan'er and Zhi'er, there were also two guards from the Dutong Mansion who followed her inch by inch. She smiled bitterly, thanks to not letting Chang Sheng come with him, he should hate these foreigners even more, right? His family originally relied on handicrafts to make a living, and the introduction of foreign goods made his family's products completely unmarketable. Destitute, his parents died of depression, and his twin brother was unfortunately hit by a cannonball thrown by a foreigner when he went out, leaving only the young man, fortunately taken in by Amma and served as a guard in the palace.
Before she got married, Amma warned her not to let Chang Sheng go too far, just let him guard in the mansion. When he was in the palace before, he went out to run errands and met foreigners, and he wanted to beat people on impulse, but fortunately, there were more guards accompanying him and stopped him. Thinking of this, Ning Xi couldn't help but sigh, it was time to find a way to untie his heart knot, a big man, how could there be a reason not to go out.
Unconsciously came to Zhuangzi. Several men in coarse cloth clothes at the door glanced at each other, but no one spoke. Ning Xi glanced at them and asked, "Is the third young master here?" ”
"Third Young Master?" A young man spoke, "The ...... who came to find the Third Young Master" He thought for a moment, and then had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that you are the Fu Jin that the Third Young Master newly married?" ”
