The matter of the martial arts hall has been on the right track under Qin Feng's proper arrangement. Shain, who only needs to help from the side, is happy and relaxed at this time.

After briefly dealing with the things accumulated at hand, when Xie Ning went to his grandmother Liu's place to ask for peace, he learned from her that the Hou Mansion was going to Fuwei Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to worship the Buddha.

"It's my birthday in two days, and your two aunts have the heart to put the Fuwei Temple on the agenda early. Ning'er, I don't know how you prepared for the martial arts hall? Do you have time to join us? ”

finally had the opportunity to celebrate his grandmother's birthday, and Xie Ning naturally didn't want to miss it. What's more, thanks to Qin Feng's blessing, she didn't have anything to deal with now, so she smiled and responded directly: "Ning'er has nothing to do recently. ”

"That's fine," Liu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and even the corners of his eyes showed a few fine lines.

Aunt Liang, who was standing beside her, didn't make a straight face at Xie Ning anymore, but pursed her lips rarely, and said slowly: "We are going out this time to stay in Fuwei Temple for a few more days." Although the temple is an important place for Buddhism, Miss Biao also needs to prepare a few more changes of clothes. Just be careful, though, that the color pattern doesn't need to be too bright and eye-catching. ”

The other party deliberately reminded him, but Xie Ning couldn't hear it, so he nodded solemnly, and said with a respectful expression: "Thank you aunt for telling me." Shainin made a note of it. ”

Liu Shi glanced at her with satisfaction, but in his slightly cloudy eyes, there was a clear smile, "You and the son of the Wei family, have you ever met recently?" ”

Although the matter of Xie Ning and Wei Qingyang marrying each other has never been heard in Beijing. But the other party personally came to the Jingyang Hou Mansion to propose marriage, and everyone in the Hou Mansion knew about it. Liu is her elder, and she won't be ignorant of it.

"Two days ago, I met him outside Shangshu Mansion." Xie Ning did not hesitate at all, and answered without thinking.

Seeing that when she mentioned Wei Qingyang, her demeanor was actually down-and-out and generous, Liu couldn't help but turn his head away in tacit understanding, exchanged a meaningful look with Aunt Liang beside him, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that when we go out this time, your uncle and cousins have no time to withdraw." Otherwise, we can also let Wei Gongzi go with us. Get acquainted with each other. ”

All the people who went to worship the Buddha were female dependents, and if Wei Qingyang accompanied him, I was afraid that there would be a lot of inconvenience. Thinking of this, Xie Ning nodded approvingly. When you can raise your eyes. But there was only a smile on my grandmother's face. The mind is inexplicable. Xie Ning couldn't help but look in the direction of Aunt Liang, but saw that the corners of the other party's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain the smile on his face.

These two. It turned out to be a joke on her.

Although he realized it a little later, Xie Ning came back to his senses, so he just looked at his grandmother and Aunt Liang helplessly, and pouted: "It's not that he has never been to the Hou Mansion as a guest, and he is already familiar with each other, so why should he get along more?" ”

"Heh," Hearing this, Liu's smile became more and more vigorous, and with a chuckle, he looked at Xie Ning with a kind expression, but a look of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When Gongzi Wei personally came to the door to make a marriage, his grandmother also said a few words to him. A good boy indeed, Anin-"

Liu's voice paused, and at the same time, he suddenly waved his hand at Xie Ning. Xie Ning walked up to the other party knowingly, and she took her right hand, patted it gently, and said in a soothing tone: "When the two of you become relatives in the future, if you really want to go to the border, you have to go back to Beijing often to see my old wife, ah." Don't leave me alone......"

Where did Xie Ning think about such a long-term thing, but now that Liu suddenly mentioned it, she didn't have time to think about it. As soon as the other party's voice fell, she answered eagerly: "Grandmother, don't worry, I can't bear you." No matter where you go in the future, Shainin will not be without news, which will make you worry in vain. ”

"You kid," Liu smiled slightly, but under the slightly disgusted tone, he was deeply moved, but when he saw her eyes flash, after a while, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "It's really exactly the same as your mother." I think that when your mother first went to Shudi, she also wrote every half month. Even after you were born, she didn't stop. It's a pity ......"

Although her mother is only the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Jingyang, whether it is her grandmother, Uncle Hou, or her deceased grandfather, they all care for her mother. Presumably, if her mother was still alive at this time, her grandmother would not have suddenly sighed because of the touching scene, so sad.

Although her grandmother has three children, and her two uncles also live in the same house with her, her son can **** to see each other, in comparison, this kind and generous elder naturally loves his daughter who is away from home. Needless to say, her mother married Shu far away back then, as a noble concubine in the palace, the Liu family naturally didn't see each other a few times a year.

Xie Ning understood her mood at this time, and after a little thought, he turned over his palm, held the other party's thin palm, and said with relief: "Grandmother, don't think too much, if my mother knows that you are so worried in your heart, I don't know how sad I will be." ”

As soon as the words fell, she took advantage of Liu's inattention, secretly glanced at Aunt Liang, and signaled to the other party.

My grandmother is old, and it is common to miss the past, but her emotions are too volatile, and it is not a good thing after all. Xie Ning really didn't want to see her sad.

On the other hand, Aunt Liang naturally thought the same way, "What Miss Biao said is very true, old lady, don't think about it anymore." Your birthday is just around the corner, so why don't you think about what you want to worship in the temple? ”

This comfort was a little weak, but Liu also knew that she was too sad at this time, so he reluctantly pulled out a smile, and changed his voice and said, "Okay, I know." Don't worry about me, either of you. With such a well-behaved granddaughter as Ning'er, how could I not be happy? ”

Having said that, Liu Shi has always been a little dazed since then, and after chatting with Xie Ning for a few words, he canceled the lunch originally set with Xie Ning under the pretext of taking a nap at noon.

Xie Ning was sent out of the Heling Hospital by Aunt Liang all the way, but her grandmother was in such a situation, she was still a little relieved, and turned her eyes to look at Aunt Liang beside her, only to find that the other party was also worried.

"Auntie." Xie Ning called lightly and didn't say much, but what he thought in his heart was already expressed in his words.

Noticing Xie Ning's gaze, Aunt Liang turned her head. Quietly loosened his frowning brows, and then said to Xie Ning as calmly as possible: "Miss Biao doesn't have to worry. The old lady was just touching the scene for a while, and it was no big deal. When the old slave returns, it would be good to be relieved again. ”

Why is my grandmother sad, Xie Ning knows it. She didn't enter the Hou Mansion until she was thirteen years old, and twenty years ago, her mother became the righteous daughter of the Jingyang Hou Mansion at about this age. She is now married to Wei Qingyang, and Wei Guogong has been stationed at the border for generations, and after the two get married, I am afraid that she will not be able to stay in Beijing for a long time. My grandmother was exactly that. I think of her mother.

Ultimately. All this is because of her.

Xie Ning sighed secretly, and the sorrow in his heart gradually grew. She is cheerful by nature, and she usually doesn't get entangled too much, but today's Liu's words and deeds. also evoked Xie Ning's thoughts about her mother.

Aunt Liang's eyes are very sharp. Nature can pass through the subtle changes in voice and color on Shainin's face. See what's in her mind. But seeing her take a step forward, he coughed slightly and cleared his throat. Then he said loudly: "Miss Cousin, the old slave has something to tell you." ”

When Xie Ning heard this, he temporarily suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, turned his head and said lightly: "Auntie, it's okay to say it." ”

Aunt Liang saw that her eyes were not sloppy, so she finally calmed down slightly, but said quietly: "The old lady's birthday is approaching, and Miss Biao, as a junior, naturally has to prepare a congratulatory gift in advance." I wonder if Miss Cousin has figured out what to send? ”

Xie Ning is now, to put it mildly, he is temporarily living in the Hou Mansion, if he says it ugly, he is under the fence here. Since the He family took charge of the Hou Mansion, although Xie Ning also has the treatment of a real cousin, it is really not much to say that he has a lot of money.

Whether it is compared with the two sisters Gao Yiyao and Gao Yiyan, or compared with Gao Jing and Xia Rouyu, Xie Ning may not be able to give any gifts. The reason why Aunt Liang reminded her was naturally out of concern for her.

However, if this had been left a few days ago, it would indeed have made Shainin extremely difficult. But now that she happens to have the color head in Xiao Shangshu's Mansion that day, the scripture handwritten by the Jingshan master should be an excellent congratulatory gift.

Xie Ning rolled his eyes, and he had an idea in his heart, and he was confident at the moment, and smiled at Aunt Liang and responded: "Auntie, don't worry, I already have an idea in my heart." ”

Although Aunt Liang's words were to divert Xie Ning's attention, the meaning of the hint was also very obvious. Now Shainin's answer was obviously unexpected by her. But the surprise in her eyes was only for a moment.

Maybe it was the son of the Wei family, or His Royal Highness King An had sent her something.

Aunt Liang's mind turned, and she bowed her head slightly: "It's good that Miss Biao knows it in her heart." ”

Having already walked to the gate of the courtyard, Xie Ning was worried about his grandmother Liu, so he didn't ask Aunt Liang to send him off, nodded and said goodbye: "Auntie, then I'll go back first." If anything happens to you, send someone to me. ”

"Okay." Aunt Liang answered with a straight face, and when she saw Xie Ning turn her head and leave, she also walked back along the same road. searched around the courtyard, and sure enough, she was found in Liu's bedroom.

Quietly pushed open the door, and saw an old woman in brocade leaning on the bed with her back to the door. Before Aunt Liang approached, Liu had already noticed her arrival, and asked motionlessly, "Have you sent Ning'er?" ”

"Well," Aunt Liang sat down at the corner of the couch and replied with a straight look, "The old slave personally sent her outside the hospital." ”

Liu nodded imperceptibly, "Oh." ”

This voice was very low, Aunt Liang had been with her for many years, so she could naturally guess how bad her mood was at this time, her brows furrowed, and she persuaded aloud: "Life and death have their own destiny, and the matter of the second young lady, you can't do anything about the old lady." Why bother? ”

"It's just that I can't help it for a while," Liu suddenly closed his eyes, as if he wanted to leave all the unpleasantness of the past behind, and after opening his eyes again, the whole person also sat up from the bed, looked at Aunt Liang, and said in a hesitant tone: "You know, I was sorry for Rou Min back then." Now that Ning'er finally has a good family affair, how can I follow Xiang's wishes and ask her to give up this family affair? ”

"When did you say yes to Madame? According to the old slave, the Wei Mansion has obviously taken a fancy to our Miss Cousin a long time ago, otherwise how could she be so indifferent to the eldest lady? You, you just love to think a lot. Where can I let out the family affairs that have been decided? Madame came that day, and what she said was just angry talk. ”

"Look at Xiang's way at that time, where did he seem to be talking angrily," Liu sighed, but his face couldn't help showing a little disdain, "What Ning'er robbed Yao'er of Yao'er's relatives...... Nothing to say! ”

Aunt Liang's eyes flashed, but she didn't say much to echo Liu's words, but said in an ominous voice: "The prince of the Wei family has even left his relatives' belongings, where is there room for change in this matter?" ”

Liu couldn't help but hold his forehead and said: "Back then, Rou Min went to Shu early and married Xie Yunzhong because of her nonsense. I couldn't take care of Rou Min, and no matter what I wanted now, I had to protect her only bone and blood. Yao'er's conditions are excellent, and she can choose as many good sons as she can in Beijing, why does the Xiang family have to ask for this Wei Qingyang? ”

It was about the master in the Hou Mansion, but Aunt Liang didn't dare to make a fuss, but she had some guesses in her heart about this matter. Seeing that Liu was still confused, he hesitated and said, "Old lady, you said that Mrs. acted like this, could it be that she was still angry with Miss Biao because of Miss Roumin?" ”

Liu's expression froze, and when she turned her head, she looked at Aunt Liang with sharp eyes, like a sharp sword piercing through the other party's thoughts, before she replied: "Yes, what you just said does have some truth. If she didn't like Ning'er before, it might have been because of the family matter, but later Ning'er and Wei Qingyang's child got married, it stands to reason that she should have been relaxed in her heart. But it's still a bit strange to be targeted everywhere like this......"

Liu's speech slowed down more and more, and he was obviously already in thought.

When she came back to her senses, Aunt Liang, who had been watching the movement from her head, found the right time and said in a voice: "But it may also be because of the eldest lady...... Old lady, now that Mama Qin has left the house, do you say that we should arrange two people to take care of Miss Cousin by her side? ”

Hearing this, Liu didn't know what he thought, and there was a little impatient expression on his face, and he said a little irritably: "One or two are not worry-free." On Ning'er's side, the little maid of the old school is still secretly paying attention, and as for the side, let's not worry about it for the time being. ”

"Yes." Aunt Liang nodded and looked up, but when she saw that Liu's face was a little tired, she stood up again and retreated behind the door. (To be continued.) )

PS: One or two are not worry-free? Who are you talking about?
