Chapter 182: A Different Way

"Don't worry," the little novice patted his chest very righteously, and then added, "The three of us don't say anything, just as if nothing happened tonight." How is it? ”

"Then it's decided." Xie Ning nodded approvingly, and secretly luckily, he jumped down with him.

Gu Sui saw her landing, and immediately greeted her, and after confirming that her young lady was fine, she turned her head to look at the little novice who jumped down from the tree one step ahead of Xie Ning, and said in surprise: "Why are you?" ”

Unlike the two people on the tree, Gu Sui only vaguely saw two figures from the tree, as for who the other person was, and what Xie Ning said to the other party, she didn't know.

But there was no time to explain at the moment, Xie Ning glanced at her soothingly, and motioned to her to lower her voice with his eyes, "This matter is a long story, and I will talk to you in detail when we return to the room." In short, the little master has already promised us to help. Come, we'll send you up first. ”

Before Gu Sui could respond, Xiao Shami stepped forward and asked with a sly expression, "Who said I was going to take her over the wall?" ”

Xie Ning thought he was joking, so he turned around helplessly, and comforted him in a good voice: "Didn't we already say before, the demeanor of the little master and gentleman, he will never lose his trust in others, right?" ”

"Of course I won't," Xiao Shami deliberately straightened his waist, glanced at Xie Ning with a little disdain, raised his hand and pointed to the side of the courtyard wall, and said, "Oh, let's not go over the wall, go from there." ”

Where to go? Xie Ning, who was full of doubts, looked in the direction pointed by the other party, but saw a vine connected into a rope net. After retracting the line of sight. But when he saw that the little novice had a smile on his face, he couldn't help but move, so he stepped forward to inspect it.

"Miss, is there a door behind this vine?" Gu Sui also sensed the meaning of Xiao Shami's words, and immediately told Xie Ning what he had guessed in his heart.

Little Shami followed the two of them not far away, but his attention was always on them, and as soon as Gu Sui's words fell, he preemptively teased and said, "That's not necessarily, maybe there's a dog hole behind the child." ”

"Ah," Gu Sui's face turned pale. For fear of attracting the attention of others in the temple. So he had to lower his voice and complained in a low voice, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the temple is a Buddhist temple." I didn't even build a dog hole. If you spread it, it will definitely make people laugh out of their big teeth. ”

Xie Ning did not look back when he heard this. Instead, he walked on, intending to find out. Unexpectedly, she had just stretched out her hand when she was blocked back by Gu Sui, who suddenly caught up—"Miss." Let me see. ”

It was just an ordinary vine in front of her, and the surface was smooth and thornless, Xie Ning knew that she was eager to protect the master, so he didn't say anything to stop it, and went straight to her.

Gu Sui's movements were very fast, and he stretched out his hand to block the wall. Xie Ning immediately stepped forward, but saw a small pale red door in his eyes, and the copper lock hanging on the latch was also rusty, obviously some years.

Xie Ning couldn't help but reach out and push it, but the result was something unexpected for her - she didn't move at all.

"Does the little master have the key to open the lock?" Xie Ning couldn't help but look back and ask.

When the little novice heard this, he stepped forward, his face full of pride, but he denied it: "There has never been." ”

Xie Ning had already thought to himself, and since he had already guessed that he had another plan, he didn't rush to ask, but just pretended to be indifferent and looked at the other party with his arms folded.

Xiao Shami suddenly felt bored, turned his head and looked at the ears of grain with vines on the side, and sure enough, he received a hateful white eye from the other party, and before she could say anything abusive, he frowned first, and explained directly to Xie Ning and the others: "Although I don't have a key, I can open the lock." Please wait a moment. ”

There's a lot of stuff in this little novice. After Xie Ning nodded and smiled at him, he focused on the movements of the other party's hands.

But seeing that he took it out of his arms for a long time, and finally found a fine incense stick, after looking at it, he shook his head, put it back again, and turned his head down and searched on the ground.

It has taken him a long time to find this. If this continues, maybe when the three of them end their moon viewing, Xie Ning will be able to leave through the main entrance.

Gu Sui was so tired that his hands were sore, but because he had something to ask for, he couldn't speak and urge, so he finally had to put down the vine.

Seeing this, Xie Ning couldn't help but lean over and ask, "What is the little master looking for?" Can you tell us more and let me help? ”

"I'm looking for-" Xiao Shami raised his head, only to glance at Xie Ning, his voice suddenly stopped, and a pair of round eyes lit up in an instant, and then he said eagerly: "Can the donor take off this hairpin from his head?" ”

Yes?

After a short period of surprise, Xie Ning already understood the other party's intentions, and knew that this little novice was looking for a sharp weapon to open the lock, so she happily plucked the double butterfly hairpin on her head and handed it to the other party.

Seeing this, Gu Sui couldn't help but question: "Little Master, can you do it?" Don't break my lady's hairpin. ”

"Ears of grain!" Shainin didn't want her to be so direct, but he was afraid of hurting Xiao Shami's sincere heart, so he just shouted and stopped. Although she knew in her heart that the reason why Gu Sui was so nervous was not simply because she didn't believe in Xiao Shami's ability.

It's a little sad to say, although Xie Ning is a lot more prosperous now, but there are always only a few pieces of jewelry on hand, first, she has no time to buy, and second, the gold and silver in Beijing are very expensive, and there are really not many styles for her to choose from.

But there is another rule in Beijing that makes Xie Ning very speechless, that is, clothes must always be new, and accessories must be changed frequently. She is strapped for herself, so she doesn't want to slap her swollen face and become fat, and it's okay when she is in the Hou Mansion or when she gets together with friends, but when she goes out to feast and socialize, she has to be more careful.

Who told her to live in the Hou Mansion now, eat the rice of the Hou Mansion, and drink the water of the Hou Mansion? If he loses face outside because of this, and then attracts everyone's laughter, Xie Ning is really shameless to face Uncle Hou.

However, her jewelry today is not much, but it is still enough. But if one or two pieces are missing, I'm afraid it will look a little shabby.

Xie Ning understood what Gu Sui was thinking, but Xiao Shami didn't know anything about it. After she stopped, she looked at the other party apologetically, and was about to apologize. Seeing that the other party waved his hand indifferently, he said in a casual tone: "Don't worry, the little monk has tried twice before, and he won't make a mistake." ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked towards the wall. Shainin and Gu Sui stood on either side with great eyes, and lifted the vines that covered the door.

Xie Ning was actually very curious about this lock-picking technique, but unfortunately it was late, she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't stand close, so she could only vaguely see the other party inserting her silver hairpin into the keyhole. As for how he exerts himself. Shainin didn't see it.

First, the sound of "click" came to his ears, and Xie Ning raised his eyes to see that he happened to collide with Xiao Shami's very proud gaze, but saw that he held the old lock and Xie Ning's double butterfly silver hairpin together. Ostentatiously shook at Xie Ning.

"It's amazing." He was very childish. Xie Ning smiled slightly. His expression was extremely solemn, and although he only said three words, he was praising the other party sincerely.

The little novice glanced at her. But he pretended to be disdainful and said: "Of course." Alright, you can get in quickly. Wait a minute, you don't need me to help you anymore, do you? ”

You don't have to flip the window. First, the window is not too high from the ground, so Gu Sui will not be afraid, and second, she can also move out of the bench in the house to meet the counterparty.

Xie Ning shook his head with a smile, "Thank you, little master, no need." ”

"Thank you, little master." Gu Sui pursed his lips, but his tone was deliberately elongated, but there was no irony, just simple ridicule.

Xiao Shami grinned, a little shy at this time, scratched his head embarrassedly, put his hands down from the back of his head, and deliberately put on a straight face, and said: "The little monk will say goodbye first, two donors, see you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow." Xie Ning has a good impression of this little novice, and now that he has the help of the other party, he has regarded the other party as a "New Year's friend" in his heart, and secretly thinks that he will have a discussion with the other party in the next few days. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Xiao Shami pushed the door open, and Shainin's master and servant returned to the guest house from behind. Knowing that the other party would deal with the courtyard wall properly, Xie Ning didn't worry too much, and went through the window with Gu Sui into the side room where she lived, and went straight to sleep.

***

However, early the next morning, Xie Ning was forced to ask by Mingshuang, who was outside at the time. Although he felt a little embarrassed, Mingshuang could be fooled in a few words. Xie Ning talked nonsense for a long time, but he still had nothing to do with her, and finally had to compromise and said bluntly: "I don't want to bump into Gu Qingyun and them again, so I pulled Gu Sui over the wall and came in." ”

Xiao Shami and her had a word first, and of course Xie Ning would not confess to the other party in front of others. Although Mingshuang is not an outsider, after such twists and turns, it is really difficult to explain. Xie Ning made up her mind, if Mingshuang didn't ask directly, she would skip the matter.

"Miss Gu, have you been embarrassed lately?" Mingshuang frowned, put away the usual smile on his face, and looked at Shainin steadily.

Xie Ning thought that Mingshuang would lecture her, but she didn't want the other party to react like this, Xie Ning was silent for a long time, so he had to say awkwardly: "It's not embarrassing, right...... She just came to ask me, who is your prince's favorite. And then they always want to come and talk to me...... You also know that I don't have a good relationship with her now, and she is so enthusiastic that it really makes me a little uncomfortable. ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. What's more, with Gu Qingyun's mental scheming, Xie Ning is really afraid of being calculated by the other party again. can't afford to provoke her, she can always hide, although she can follow to Fuwei Temple, she can't enter the Hou Mansion in the future. As long as Xie Ning tries not to meet her in the past few days, as for whether this move is nested or not, she can't think about it so much for a while.

What's more, she has always acted casually, Gu Qingyun is just hypocritical to her, after all, Gu Qingyun's matter has left a lot of shadows on her, Xie Ning is really too lazy to make a false deal with her, and she doesn't want to worry about guarding against her from time to time.

Her voice fell, and there was silence in the room for a long time. Mingshuang sighed helplessly, and just as he was about to speak, there were three regular knocks outside the door.

Although Gu Sui is not in the wing room now, she has never had the habit of knocking on her door when she goes back and forth. I don't know who this person is?

After the master and servant glanced at each other, Xie Ning raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”

The person outside the door did not follow his words, but said respectfully: "Miss Biao, the slave maid is on the order of the old lady, please go to the palace to accompany the scriptures." ”

My grandmother came here this time to celebrate the Buddha's birthday. It's not unusual to discuss the scriptures here, but it hasn't been explained in advance, so it's a little strange to call Xie Ning directly. Xie Ning and Mingshuang exchanged a puzzled look, and then spoke up again: "Besides me, is there anyone else who accompanies my grandmother?" ”

"Except for Miss Cousin, there are two ladies." The maid's voice came from outside the door again.

Xie Ning got up early, and now that he had cleaned up, he didn't delay too much, left Mingshuang to stay in the wing, and went out of the room alone.

The maid who came to pass the word was not faceless, but indeed the maid in the Crane Ling Courtyard. Xie Ning followed the other party all the way to a treasure hall in the center of the Fuwei Temple, but the doubts in his heart were still half unabated.

My grandmother is already accompanied by Xiang and He, so why should she be a junior alone?

Although she was puzzled at first, her face was as if nothing had happened, and she was also comfortable when dealing with Xiang's inquiring gaze. However, when the master was resting in the lecture, Xiang suddenly pointed the finger at Xie Ning - "Miss Gu also went here because she heard that several of you were here, and she thought that she was very friendly. Ning'er, if you have nothing to do during the day, you have to accompany Miss Gu in your spare time. Otherwise, if your uncle knows, I'm afraid that your cousin and cousin will not treat you affectionately. ”

Every time Xiang called her "Ning'er" in person, Xie Ning would always have a bad premonition, and nine times out of ten, this premonition would come true. After all, the two were just on the same page when they first met, and Xiang didn't like her for some reason, and she couldn't bear the other party's slander and abuse of her parents.

But right now, it is in the Fuwei Temple, and there are two elders of the Liu family and the He family around, of course Xie Ning will not be stupid enough to argue with her, and after smiling slightly, he nodded and responded: "What my aunt said is very true." "No matter how much I say, I don't promise it anymore.

Her delicate attitude also made Xiang very displeased, but seeing her frowning, she immediately scolded her and said, "It's good that you know." Miss Gu asked you to admire the moon last night, but you didn't know what you were busy with outside, so you didn't go with you. This is really rude. ”

As soon as Xiang's voice fell, before Xie Ning could speak, Liu, who had been sitting on the side and had been silent, suddenly glanced at Xiang and said in a deep voice: "Enough." Ning'er stayed with me last night. And for these two days, she will accompany me in the study of the Scriptures. Miss Gu, aren't there still Yao'er and Yan'er there? (To be continued.) )
