---------------
The next day, Ling Xiao picked the little guy around him and went to home school.
Because of this, Ling Xiao was in a very good mood, and after staying in the Qiushui Pavilion and talking to Ling Jingshu for a long time, a flush of excitement appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
Ling Jingshu was not impatient at all, and listened with a smile.
All the cousins in the family are studying at home. Ling Xiao stayed in the inner house all day, although he had no worries about food and clothing, he was very lonely. The people you can get in touch with on weekdays are all the ladies of the house. She is the only one who really has the patience to listen to him.
"By the way, when I came over just now, I met the cousin of the Lu family." Ling Xiao suddenly mentioned Lu Hong: "He is very kind and friendly, and he specially talked to me for a while!" ”
Ling Jingshu's expression turned cold.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao's eyes couldn't see, and she didn't know her reaction at this time, so she continued to smile and said, "Cousin Lu heard that I sent a little maid to study at home on my behalf, and praised me. I told him that this was the way you thought of it for me, and he praised you for your intelligence. I also said that the peonies you planted were particularly beautiful, and that you had a good orchid heart."
Ling Jingshu didn't want to hear anything related to Lu Hong, so she opened her mouth to interrupt Ling Xiao: "Ah Xiao, grandmother's seventieth birthday is approaching. The posts in the house have been sent out, and the uncle has not yet arrived in Dingzhou, so it shouldn't have happened to him, and he was delayed on the road! ”
Ling Xiao's attention was suddenly diverted, and he sighed worriedly: "Yes, grandmother has been talking about Uncle and his family for the past two days. ”
From the capital to Dingzhou, thousands of miles away, if something happens on the road, it will delay the trip, which is really worrying.
"Maybe it'll be there today." Ling Jingshu smiled and comforted Ling Xiao: "Uncle, they took the official ship all the way, and they also walked on the official road. Those thieves and bandits with evil intentions will never dare to approach. You don't have to worry too much. ”
Ling Xiao nodded obediently.
Ling Jingshu pondered for a moment, and suddenly whispered, "Ah Xiao, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
Ling Xiao smiled: "Just say something directly." I'm not used to such a serious tone. ”
The two sisters and brothers were only half an hour away from landing, but Ling Jingshu has always taken care of him everywhere like a real eldest sister. After being blind, Ling Xiao trusted and relied on her even more. What Ling Jingshu opened her mouth to say, Ling Xiao mostly obeyed obediently.
Ling Jingshu's eyes softened a little, and said in a low voice: "Ah Xiao, after you wrestled back then, you suffered an injury in your brain, which made your eyes blind. Over the years, many famous doctors have been invited to treat you, but they have not been able to cure your eyes. I thought, the doctors here in Dingzhou are not very skilled, and most of the real Xinglin masters are in the Tai Hospital. Therefore, I want to take you to the capital to seek medical treatment and cure your eyes. ”
Ling Xiao looked surprised and confused, and couldn't react for a while. After a while, he stammered: "But, but, how can my father and grandmother let our sister and brother go to the capital alone?" Even if you arrive in the capital, how do you find a famous doctor? ”
Ling Jingshu has been thinking about this matter since she was reborn. At this time, he talked confidently: "We can go to the capital with the uncle's family and borrow them for a while." With an uncle and aunt to take care of, there is nothing uneasy about my father and grandmother.
"After arriving in the capital, I will decide to find a famous doctor, so you don't have to worry. The worst outcome is to remain in the same condition, and if it is cured, your eyes will be able to see again. Don't you want to study and take the scientific examination in an honest way? ”
Absolutely!
In the past few years, he has had such a sweet dream almost every day: his eyes are restored, and he can see again. He can read and learn calligraphy and participate in scientific examinations. He will no longer be a waste in the eyes of everyone, and he will no longer drag Ling Jingshu down
A strange flush appeared on Ling Xiao's fair face, his breathing was rapid and unsteady, and he muttered uncertainly: "Will I really see it one day?" ”
Ling Jingshu felt a deep sense of pity and distress in her heart, quietly clenched Ling Xiao's trembling hand, and said firmly: "Yes, there will definitely be that day." Ah Xiao, you believe me! ”
Ling Xiao nodded vigorously.
"What I said today, only you know what I know, don't show your mouth for the time being." Ling Jingshu quickly said, "With me here, you don't need to worry. ”
Ling Xiao nodded subconsciously, and then sighed guiltily: "Auntie, how good it would be if I didn't have this burden." You can be like Cousin Wan and Cousin Xian, just relax all day long and think about how to dress yourself up more beautifully. It's all me."
"How can you be a burden." Ling Jingshu said softly: "The two of us are sisters and brothers, and in this world, we are the closest people to each other. As long as I can heal your eyes, I will be willing to do anything. ”
went to the capital, first to give Ling Xiao an eye. Second, she also wants to look for an opportunity to take revenge.
The identity of the enemy is unattainable, and if she wants to take revenge with her strength alone, it is undoubtedly an ant shaking the tree and hitting the stone with an egg. Therefore, she had to go to the capital to find another way.
Going to the capital alone, Old Lady Ling and Fifth Master Ling would never agree. Under the pretext of curing Ling Xiao's eyes, it is easy to convince them.
Moreover, there is a long way to go, and I don't know how much time and effort it will take. How could she rest assured that Ling Xiao would be left alone in the Ling Mansion?
Convincing Ling Xiao, Ling Jingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two siblings gossiped casually to pass the time. When it was close to noon, Mrs. Ling specially sent Mo Kui over and told the two sisters and brothers to go to Yonghetang together.
Having lunch with Mrs. Ling in Yonghetang is an enviable good thing. There is a separate small kitchen in Yonghetang, and the food for three meals a day is much stronger than that of the large kitchen. Moreover, this also represents Mrs. Ling's pampering.
In the old days, this was a good thing. However, when she thought that the Ling family and Lu Hong brothers were also there, Ling Jingshu couldn't laugh anyway.
However, Old Lady Ling's orders have always been unrefusable.
After Mo Kui finished speaking, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw that Ling Jingshu's face was not happy. But he didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile: "The old lady is already waiting in Yonghe Hall, and I also ask Miss Nine and the Tenth Young Master to leave now, don't make the old lady wait in a hurry." ”
Ling Jingshu calmed down and responded lightly: "Got it." ”
Although Ling Xiao's eyes couldn't see, he was extremely careful and keen. Almost immediately, he noticed Ling Jingshu's strange appearance, and leaned into Ling Jingshu's ear and whispered, "Ashu, don't you want to go?" Otherwise, I'll go there alone, and my grandmother will say you're not well."
Ling Jingshu's heart warmed, and her eyes softened a little: "Grandmother let me go over, but she also took pity on me, I don't want to do anything." You don't have to worry, I'm fine now. ”
At most, when I saw Ling's mother and son, I couldn't swallow it
When they arrived at Yonghetang, Ling's mother and son were really there.
Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao stepped forward together and gave Old Lady Ling Qing's peace to the Ling family.
The moment he saw Ling Jingshu, a trace of joy flashed in Lu Hong's eyes, and he got up and saluted: "Cousin Shu." ”
In front of Old Lady Ling, Ling Jingshu had to endure herself, and returned the salute as usual: "Cousin Lu is polite." ”
Lu Qian also got up, his delicate face was full of smiles, and his tone was cheerful and lively: "Cousin Shu, you are finally here." I was just telling my grandmother that the Luoyang brocade you planted is so beautiful. Our Lu family's peony garden doesn't have such beautiful peonies. ”
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corners of her lips lightly: "Cousin Qian's praise is false." ”
Lu Qian didn't seem to see Ling Jingshu's coldness, and continued to smile enthusiastically: "Cousin Shu, I want to ask you how to plant peonies. I wonder when Cousin Shu will be free? ”
A cousin is very affectionate.
Was she so familiar with him?
Ling Jingshu frowned invisibly, and responded perfunctorily: "Cousin Qian's praise is so high, I dare not take it seriously." In fact, these peonies were planted by florists, and I was just watching, but I took on a reputation that I shouldn't have. If you are interested in planting peonies, you may wish to go to the peony garden more often. The gardeners will definitely know everything, and they will say everything. ”
Lu Qian touched a soft nail, but he was not discouraged, and turned to Mrs. Ling to be coquettish: "Grandmother, you just told me that Cousin Shu is good at planting peonies. I sincerely asked my cousin for advice, but she didn't even pay attention to me! ”
Ling Jingshu: ""
This Lu Qian, he didn't take the wrong medicine!
Mrs. Ling hasn't seen her grandson for so many years, and she has almost held it in the palm of her hand these days. Hearing this, he immediately glanced at Ling Jingshu with disgust: "Sister Shu, since Ah Qian is interested in planting peonies, you can just give him a few words." ”
As soon as Old Lady Ling spoke, Ling Jingshu couldn't excuse herself with the same words anymore, so she whispered in embarrassment: "Grandmother, men and women should be separated at the age of seven. My cousin is also twelve years old this year, and it's always inappropriate for me to go to the peony garden alone with him."
"Cousin Shu's concerns are indeed justified." Lu Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed to interject: "I'll just go with you." There will be no gossip. ”
Ling Jingshu: ""
Ling Shi saw some signs coming from the side, and smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, when we have lunch, you guys will go to the garden together." ”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but finally didn't open her mouth.
Although Ling Xiao couldn't see Ling Jingshu's expression clearly, he was keenly aware of her gloomy mood, and couldn't help but be secretly strange. Cousin Hong is kind and friendly, and the hidden cousin is also lively and cute. But Ling Jingshu didn't seem to like the two of them very much
"Ashu, I'm idle anyway, and I'll go to the peony garden with you later." Ling Xiao smiled and tugged at Ling Jingshu's sleeve.
With him by her side, Ling Jingshu's mood should be better!
Ling Xiao's careful thinking couldn't hide it from Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu snorted, her brows furrowed.
