Changning
The encounter between Lin Xiuqing and Su Changning is not known to be an accident or an accident.
On that day, Su Changning and Su Yaocang pretended to be ordinary women to play outside the palace. Yao Cang was born good-looking, which provoked many men to come forward to ask for their names, and they all sent boastful words, Chang Ning played by himself on the side, and he was already used to Yao Cang's existence like the stars holding the moon.
Suddenly, a man in the shape of a Confucian student passed by. He was dressed ordinarily, he looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, he glanced at Yao Cang lightly, and only said four words: "Red face and troubled water." ”
It was the first time Chang Ning had seen that the eldest sister's beauty was said to be so unbearable, although Yaocang just smiled and didn't care, but she really couldn't swallow this breath.
She rushed forward, tugged at his collar and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister's beauty, is it you...... What can you say as a mortal? ”
Lin Xiuqing is as her name suggests, and among a group of sons and brothers with different appearances, she actually has a bit of delicate and tranquil feeling.
He took a step back and said in a rigid manner: "Men and women don't kiss each other." This young lady, please respect yourself. ”
Su Changning is a county lord who has been pampered since he was a child, but he has never been said so. For a while, his face was flushed, his big eyes were round, his cheeks were puffed up with anger, and his hands were loose and tight, I didn't know whether to put it or not.
"Chang Ning, don't be rude." Yao Cang stopped.
Only then did she put it down, glaring fiercely at this simple but vicious young man, unwilling to stop on this matter.
After they walked away, Chang Ning secretly sent someone to follow the young man who thought highly of himself to see where he lived and why he was so unforgiving. I can only hear what people say, the handsome little brother is often beaten and scolded by his father at home. Because he was a concubine, his mother died early, and he often served as his father's angry bag at home. He also has a younger sister named Xiujin, who is young and often makes his father angry unconsciously. In order to protect his sister, he practiced his tongue and took his father's anger on himself.
Chang Ning was shocked when he heard this.
She rarely goes out of the palace, and she has been favored by her father and eldest sister since she was a child. Not to mention being treated so unfairly. The girl is soft-hearted, and Chang Ning is innocent, so she just wants to rescue Lin Xiuqing. made a ploy, saying that Lin Xiuqing had offended the emperor's relatives and summoned him to his side.
Lin Xiuqing was also shocked when she saw that the woman that day was His Royal Highness the County Lord. However, he quickly calmed down, knelt down and saluted: "The grass people don't know that His Royal Highness the county lord is coming, and there are many disrespectful words, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”
Su Changning smiled: "It doesn't matter if you offend me, do you know who my eldest sister was that day?" Actually said that kind of thing in front of her. ”
After Lin Xiuqing learned of Chang Ning's identity, she had already made up her mind to die, and she did not hesitate at this moment, and said: "The grass people know that it is a capital crime, and they ask the county lord to punish them." Merely...... The grass people also have a younger sister to raise, and I don't know the county lord...... Can you lift up your noble hand and take her as a slave? She's very clever and won't cause any trouble. ”
His stepmother couldn't tolerate his sister. If you have to die, it's better to give it a go and see if this county lord can show kindness and accept Xiujin.
"Oh?" Su Changning, who had known his family background for a long time, thought of teasing him, and giggled: "Then I don't!" Instead of accepting her, I will visit her at your house and let her know what kind of brother she has......"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Xiuqing stepped forward suddenly, wrapped her neck, and took out a dagger out of nowhere and pointed it at her throat. Xu didn't control the strength well, and the knife cut through her delicate skin, leaving a shallow blood mark.
The first time she was pointed to her neck with a knife, she was so frightened that she almost lost her voice, her mouth was open, but she couldn't spit out a word.
The slaves and maids around her had already been retreated by her, and it was too late to call for help at this moment.
"That'...... The grass people will use their own cheap lives to bury the county lord of Chuxiu. His breath blew gently past her ears, and for a moment, it was extremely itchy.
His face was red to the base of his neck.
Her fear was diluted by three points, and she finally pretended to be calm, and explained in a trembling voice, "I didn't mean to hurt you...... It's just that I see you pitiful, and you are bullied by your father every day...... I still have to protect your sister, that's why I ...... ......"
Before he could finish speaking, tears poured out of his eyes, slid down his cheeks, and dripped gently on the back of his hand.
Lin Xiuqing didn't expect that this little county lord couldn't help but be frightened, and he was also panicked, and withdrew his hand suddenly, as if the tears were hot.
Chang Ning reacted quickly, and took this opportunity to shout out for help, and after a while, the guards of the county lord's mansion rushed one after another and surrounded Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing put down the knife, understanding that there was no way out, and when she boarded up, she looked dead, just waiting for Su Changning to announce the sentence. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the county lord, who had been smoking for a long time, said with a trembling voice: "I...... I want you...... And your sister, come to the county lord's mansion to accompany me......"
Lin Xiuqing froze.
"Do you agree or disagree?" Chang Ning wiped away his tears, sniffed on his nose, and asked in a childish voice.
"Grass People...... Willing. He kept his head down, unwilling to let the people around him see his reddish eyes. After a while, he came to his senses, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, County Lord!" The villain is willing to serve the county lord as a dog and horse, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and he will not give up! ”
Chang Ning was still aggrieved, but when he heard his words, he burst into tears and laughed: "It's good that you come to be my little scholar, how can there be so many strange things to do for you." ”
Then she asked, "Are you literate?" ”
Lin Xiuqing shook her head.
Chang Ning was surprised: It turns out that being knowledgeable does not mean that he is really knowledgeable!
"Then you can study with me." She clapped her hands and laughed, happy at her idea.
"County Lord, is it inappropriate for this person to plot against you, and you still keep him by your side?" The leading guard, who had been ignored for a long time, spoke up.
She pouted, looking extremely dissatisfied: "Whatever the county lord says, it's what it is!" In a word, it is difficult to chase as many horses as you go, so you can take the order first. ”
The leading guards secretly said "relief", and hurriedly led everyone to retreat. So he was the only one left in the house.
Chang Ning thought of the scene just now, his face turned red again, and he said for a long time: "My study is not here." I've been lazy with my homework these days, and I've just been scolded by my eldest sister, so you have to study hard, and then teach me to read well. ”
Lin Xiuqing lowered her eyes and responded lightly.
So, Lin Xiuqing and Su Changning spent a period of time in the house.
Lin Xiuqing's mouth was vicious and difficult to change for a while, and she couldn't see any clues at first sight, but the longer she was there, the more she figured out Chang Ning's temperament, the more she dared to say anything.
Chang Ning was often so angry that his face turned red, and he was often taught by his eldest sister to be tolerant, so he didn't say a word, turned his head and ran out of the house to play.
Later, she was taken to the Qinglou by her fox friend and dog friend.
The little ones in the Qinglou are all good-looking, but she can't keep up her spirits, and Lin Xiuqing's flat face always appears in front of her. The owner of this face suddenly looked angry, put one hand on the back of her neck, and carried her out of the Qinglou like an eagle catching a chicken.
"What are you doing here? You're a dignified lord...... How can you come to such a place? Monkey business! The more she thought about the consequences of not coming, the more angry Lin Xiuqing became.
Looking at Chang Ning, who was smiling happily at the moment, he intuitively felt that something was not quite right. Without thinking about it, he pulled Chang Ning's sleeve and said, "Go home and learn your homework!" What did the Master teach you? You've forgotten it all! ”
So from then on, as soon as the two quarreled, Chang Ning ran to the Qinglou to hide. Every time she saw Lin Xiuqing come to pick her up with a black face, she was very happy.
Until one time, she had a whim and pretended to be a singer in the teaching workshop to test whether Lin Xiuqing could recognize her. accidentally met Pei Jue, and saw that his appearance was worse than Lin Xiuqing, and he was obsessed for a while, but he was scolded for his misconduct and poor appearance. How can she swallow this breath, who thinks very highly of herself!
At this time, Lin Xiuqing rushed over, saw her like this, did not speak with a dark face, and turned around and left without saying a word. Only then did the little county lord know that something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed, so he swore and promised, and was scolded before Lin Xiuqing turned cloudy. Since then, I have never dared to go to this workshop again.
However, the beam with Pei Jue was also concluded.
She climbed over the wall and chased the tail to do all kinds of evil, just to find an opportunity to give Pei Jue some color. Who wants this thing to do things without leakage, and has never found the right time. Later, there were rumors out of nowhere, saying that she admired Pei Jue, and she secretly promised that she really couldn't help it, so she had the one behind her, wanting to catch Pei Jue and make him ugly. Who expected to be ruined by the man in black, so he gave up.
In the past few days, Gu Ning wanted to break into the Yongfu Palace, but fortunately she arrived in time to stop her. Chang Ning had already understood that something was wrong, so he forced Gonggong Li to explain the situation to her, only then did she know that Yao Cang was not only not in the palace, but her whereabouts were unknown at the moment, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
On the day when Su Ye sent heavy troops to guard the palace, Chang Ning also lost contact with Gonggong Li, only to hear that her little uncle forced Gonggong Li to take a bus out of a treasure, and then left. After Chang Ning discussed with Lin Xiuqing, he was ready to wait for the opportunity, and as soon as there was a stir, he rushed to support Yaocang.
It's a pity that since the incident at the entrance of Dongxiangkou where Su Ye led troops to surround the inn subsided, there has been no news of Yaocang.
It's another sunny day. Su Changning was sitting outside admiring the flowers and eating grapes, and his life was extremely comfortable. Suddenly, I heard someone report from the next person: "Your Royal Highness the county lord, something is wrong!" ”
She turned over and sat up, and said excitedly, "How? Be...... Is there any news over there? "Caring about nature is Yaocang's message.
The subordinate blinked and stammered, "No...... No. ”
"What else could it be like?" She pouted and "hummed", pinched another grape, and gently stuffed it into her mouth.
"Back to His Highness...... It's a Xiujin girl...... She...... She blew up the kitchen...... "The man cried.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" just swallowed the grapes, and almost choked to death: "What did you say?" Xiujin she ...... Ahem...... Trouble again? ”
After dealing with her for so long, Chang Ning understood why Xiujin's father liked to beat her. Was her father too violent? No, that's not true. This Xiujin is really noisy, the work is messy, not to mention, but also to add chaos to the house, the first day to chase the chicken and the second day to chase the dog, really live a full life. If she had such a noisy bear child, according to her strong appearance, it was estimated that the roof would be able to be lifted for her.
"Didn't you call someone to fix it a few days ago? Hurry up and call someone to fix it again! Chang Ning rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
At this moment, she suddenly understood a little bit of what she was like in the eyes of her eldest sister.
