"But-" Xiang had just spoken, but he stopped talking because of Liu's cold eyes, and it took a long time for the corners of his mouth to pull, and he reluctantly said: "What my mother said is that Fang is my own opinion." ”

Liu glanced at her and said lightly: "It's good to know." ”

When these words landed, Xiang's face became more and more unsightly. Although Xie Ning was happy to see her deflated, he had no intention of deliberately provoking in front of others, so he only looked at his nose and nose, and sat quietly on the futon, silently.

Because of this episode, after the morning's lecture, Xiang did not have dinner with them under the pretext of having something to do, and Xie Ning and He were on the left and right seats of Liu's head.

It's always easy to get sleepy in the summer, especially if it's early afternoon. He had yawned two or three times, and the tiredness on his face could not be concealed.

Seeing it in Liu's eyes, he said quietly: "I'll go out for a walk with Ning'er, you can stay here and wait for your sister-in-law to come back." Copy some scriptures, or take a break to pass the time. ”

"Yes," Ho said with a smile on his face, and immediately responded. However, the slightly narrowed eyes still leaked a little sleepiness.

She really should have had a good night's sleep. Xie Ning could see that Liu naturally felt more than her.

The two ancestors and grandsons walked outside the hall like this, because there was no specific place to go, so they aimlessly walked around the bluestone road paved in the temple.

They listened to the lecture in the Qinglian Hall today, and the Fuwei Temple is not a famous temple in Beijing, and the location is remote, which adds a touch of tranquility.

There was no one around. Xie Ning walked forward with Liu's arm crooked, and suddenly heard the other party's voice in his ears - "These days, you will stay by my side first." As for Miss Gu, if you don't want to socialize, you can refuse on this ground, and you don't have to compromise on it. ”

Xie Ning realized her grandmother's intention of calling her to come to Qinglian Palace, and her heart warmed, so she responded with a smile: "Ning'er knows." ”

"That's fine," Liu glanced at her, and the cold look in front of Xiang had long since faded. Instead, there is a lot of pity. "After all, you have already made a marriage, and it is understandable to have less contact with them."

"Hmm," Xie Ning bowed slightly. I put down a big stone in my heart. There is only one joy of being protected by the elders.

Strange to say. Her temperament is obviously very stubborn. Before that, he was unwilling to accept the help given by Qin Feng or Wei Qingyang, and he did not ask Uncle Hou and others for help because of what happened after entering Beijing.

But Liu took the initiative to break the siege this time. But she didn't feel any discomfort, but felt very warm.

Blood is thicker than water, but she has no real kinship with the Hou Mansion. But when Xie Ning saw Liu, he would always think of the very sporadic fragments in his mind for no reason, and think of the woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes, her mother.

***

With Liu's protection, Gu Qingyun came to the door again, and Xie Ning finally got a "shield".

However, it is true that she **** went to the Qinglian Hall to listen to the master's chanting and preaching Buddhism. The only pity is that she has no wisdom in this way, and every time she hears it, it is like being in a cloud and fog, and she only feels obscure. Sitting down, it's just a fugue out of the world.

Liu couldn't see the torment of her little girl, because there was a gap between the daily chanting, she would often tell Xie Ning to go outside to run an errand, and the rest of the time would be at her disposal.

With Liu's connivance, Xiang and He had no choice but to turn a blind eye to Xie Ning. However, she also knows how to be measured, and she doesn't go far every day, at most, she just chats with Xiao Shami Jingyuan around the Qinglian Palace.

After three days in a row, the relationship between Xie Ning and Jingyuan became a little closer, and even with the two maids beside her, she could make a few jokes with this little novice. It's just that Gu Sui has a child's heart and always loves to quarrel with each other.

"Hey, little monk!"

The master and servant walked out of the Qinglian Palace, and Gu Sui saw Jingyuan's figure on the tree not far away, and immediately shouted loudly without thinking.

It happened that after the lunch class, the surroundings of the Qinglian Hall were very quiet, and Gu Sui's voice was echoing in the air. Xie Ning couldn't help but glare at her, the meaning of the warning was very obvious.

Gu Sui's face turned red, and then he covered his mouth and hung his head in annoyance.

At this time, Jingyuan had already jumped down from the tree, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but walk up to the two of them, and said ridiculously at Gu Sui: "Let you shout and scream all day long." Okay, right, have you been taught a lesson by your young lady? ”

Seeing him gloating, Gu Sui couldn't help but raise his head with hatred, and said sharply: "My young lady didn't teach me a lesson." You are a little monk, do you know what the system is? ”

"How did I not know?" Jingyuan exaggeratedly elongated his tone, but his eyes flashed weakly, and as soon as his gaze was wrong, he met Xie Ning's searching gaze again, and had to confess: "I heard the people from your family mention it in the East Chamber the night before yesterday. ”

Gu Sui's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and pointed at him and said, "Oh? It turns out that you not only fell in love with trees, but also secretly listened to the corner of the guest house? ”

Jingyuan looked panicked, and couldn't wait to reach out to block her mouth, his eyes circled around, and after confirming that no one was passing by, he whispered: "I didn't listen to any corners, but it was too noisy at night to sleep, so I ran to the roof to blow the wind." ”

The chirping of cicadas on a summer night is indeed annoying. In the past few days, Xie Ning has also relied on the dream spices specially brought by Mingshuang to barely sleep.

But at this moment, her attention was only on what Jing Yuan said earlier, and she pulled the other party's shoulders and asked directly, "Where were you at that time?" What else did the man say? ”

Jingyuan was taken aback by her sudden move, and subconsciously looked up at Xie Ning, but when he saw her face, he reached out and scratched his head, and recalled intermittently: "Hmm...... I can't remember exactly which room it was. But I should still be able to make out the speaker's voice. Both were women's voices, but one was a little older. As for what they said...... Except for what is 'no rules', 'unconventional'. All I heard was 'little', and 'I want her to look good'......"

When Xie Ning heard this, his face became more and more solemn, and he gradually had a bad premonition in his heart. And Gu Sui beside her also sensed that something was wrong, and called out with a hesitant expression: "Miss...... Isn't it ......"

Xie Ning glanced at her soothingly, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It should be." ”

Although the master and servant did not specify it, they could already deduce the identity of the person who was talking about it according to what Jing Yuan said. The east chamber is the same as the west chamber where they live. All are four bedrooms. It is a woman's voice. It can't be Gao Jibai, and his grandmother Liu would not have such words, and He has no reason to target Shaining.

There was only one person left.

The two of them, it must be Xiang and her mother.

The words of Jing Yuan Fang Cai still echoed in his ears. Xie Ning couldn't help but think of when she first arrived at the Hou Mansion. Xiang is also a "slut". The insult of the "cheap seed" was against her.

The hands hanging at his sides had already been clenched, and even the corners of his forehead had erupted with two green tendons, and the smell of blood spread from his mouth to his nose. Xie Ning felt the pain in his lips in hindsight.

"Thank you," Jingyuan saw her expression, and immediately sensed that something was wrong, and said with a worried face: "Are you okay?" ”

Xie Ning pretended to be calm and shook his head, and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Jing Yuan glanced at her without a trace, and couldn't help but question: "Really? ”

"Oops," Gu Sui couldn't help but glare at him, and said urgently, "What do you little monk know?" It's messy enough, don't add to it! ”

Jingyuan glanced at Xie Ning again, and then stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Sui glanced at him, and instead took Xie Ning's arm and said, "Miss, the sun is a little big now, should we go back to the room?" Anyway, Sister Mingshuang is bored to stay alone. ”

"No need," Xie Ning shook his head, took a deep breath, and calmed down before he looked at Jingyuan and asked again, "Did you hear this?" Is there anything else? ”

Not wanting her to still be entangled in this matter, Gu Sui's face changed in an instant, and while she hadn't noticed, she shook her head desperately and glanced at Jingyuan.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan became entangled all of a sudden, but when he met the probing gaze cast by Xie Ning, he didn't know how to refuse for a while, so he had to say, "Uh......"

Xie Ning frowned, but when he couldn't remember it for a while, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's stop this matter." Don't mention it to anyone in the future. ”

At this time, Jing Yuan couldn't see that the words he heard that day were related to Xie Ning, so his expression couldn't help but become embarrassed, and he nodded with his eyes down: "Well, don't worry." The little monk will not mention it to others. ”

Xie Ning just casually instructed, and just nodded casually at the moment, as for all his attention, he put it on why Xiang would insult her in private.

When Jingyuan heard these words, it was the night before. Looking back, Shainin and her didn't have any quarrels that day. In fact, except for a few words on the first day of the lecture, she and Xiang barely exchanged words for the remaining two days, except for saying hello and saying goodbye.

What's more, Xiang is her elder, respects her teacher and respects her elders, she is no longer the impulsive little girl who first entered the Hou Mansion. Under Mama Qin's teaching, she now understands what to do and what not to do. As if he had done something to her in the past, Shainin would never do it again.

Even if there is a festival between the two, Xiang will not curse behind his back like this. In addition to anger, Shainin only had an unreasonable and ridiculous feeling in his heart. From beginning to end, she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she would provoke Xiang to be so disgusted.

Xie Ning couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

"Thank you," Xiao Sha Mi Jingyuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly proposed, "Do you want the little monk to investigate again tonight?" After all, the little monk didn't hear it clearly at that time, and if the expression was not clear, so that the donor misunderstood, it was the fault of the little monk. ”

"Hmph," Gu Sui heard his words, and only when everything in his words was true, he couldn't help but snort lightly, and said sarcastically: "I didn't hear it clearly at the time, why did you mention it to my young lady?" Stirring up so many rights and wrongs in vain, it hurts us—"

"Ears of grain." Xie Ning called her with a faint expression, his eyes were full of stops, and when he saw that her voice stopped, she stopped talking, and then turned her head to look at Jingyuan.

The little novice had a sentence that was right. Xie Ning couldn't help but move in his heart, and the idea of inquiring suddenly rose. Xiang would never curse her for no reason. And just a few words, Xie Ning can't completely conclude that Xiang and Lou's mother are talking about her, although this possibility is very small, and Xiang and Lou's mother may not talk about this matter again, but she thinks that she should carefully examine it before making a decision.

However, this is her own private matter, and it seems a little inappropriate to trouble Jingyuan to run again, she also has martial arts herself, and it is not difficult to go to the house to uncover the tiles.

Xie Ning secretly made up his mind, then shook his head at Jingyuan and said, "No need. ”

Jingyuan seemed to see what she was thinking, touched her chin with one hand, glanced at her and said, "I'm idle at night anyway, so it's okay to take a look at you." Last time, I drank a little wine, and my mind was a little confused, so I couldn't write down what they said, but today I'll pay close attention. ”

Xie Ning didn't expect him to expose himself to the ugly thing, so he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, so he put aside his previous anger, lowered his voice, and teased with a smile: "Fuwei Temple has strict rules, where did you get the wine?" ”

"Uh......" Jingyuan scratched his head embarrassedly, his face turned red, turned around and walked to the middle of nowhere, and then he whispered: "Yes, I bought it from the little guy in your house." ”

"Flutter-" Xie Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud, it wasn't because of what Jingyuan said, it was just because the other party's expression at the moment was too interesting.

Gu Sui saw that her face turned bright, so she couldn't help laughing, and echoed: "You little monk, you actually drink secretly." If you preside over the master find out, he will definitely kick you out. ”

But after all, when it comes to private matters, Gu Sui still knows how to measure, and her voice is deliberately low when she speaks, unless there are masters like Wuxian around her, otherwise what she said can only be heard by the three of them.

"Heh," Jingyuan sneered, and said unconvinced, "What is this, I'll tell you-"

The words suddenly stopped, and Jing Yuan mysteriously approached the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Our host master has also secretly drunk wine." I know how to drink, and I learned it because I saw him. ”

When Xie Ning heard this, he immediately thought of the situation when he presided over the master's lecture in the morning, and he felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, his curiosity suddenly rose in his heart, and he turned to Jingyuan and asked, "What about your kung fu?" Could it be that I also learned from you? (To be continued.) )
