Chapter 287: I Am Ning Caichen (2)
"Phantom Ling? Phantom Ling is back? A woman staggered out in a graceful gauze skirt, although she was old, her charm was still there, and her facial features could vaguely show the beauty of her youth.
Ruyu had a complicated emotion in her heart, she crossed over to be a real body crossing instead of taking away others, these were the forged identities of the Wanjie Museum for her, but as soon as she saw the woman, she naturally shouted: "Mother!" β
and immediately stepped forward to help her.
Miao Xu actually didn't recognize that the person in front of her was Ning Huanling, just a mother's kiss, which made her preconceived think that the child was back.
They are poor people, even if they want to touch porcelain, they are also touching those high-ranking families, why bother to touch the people in the slums?
"My son, how did you get this picture, I, I-" Miao Xu was so excited that he couldn't lift it in one breath, and he actually fainted, but his hand was still tightly grasping Ruyu's broken sleeve.
Ruyu caught her, and another little guy in the house ran over, it was Geng Letian.
Ruyu hugged Miao Xu and said: "You two are better than me, you can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as you come over, it's like I woke up in the deep mountains and old forests." β
Jian Xuran touched his sweat weakly: "It's good that you're back, otherwise the two of us will be fired in a few days." β
Geng Lotian and Jian Xuran crossed over as little maids, and the setting was to take care of Ning Huanling, the little young master.
No matter how poor the Ning family is, there are no poor children, and Ning Huanling is spoiled, like those sons and daughters of the family, they have to bring a few servants when they travel.
On the one hand, it is Ning Huanling's good face, and on the other hand, it is good to watch Ning Huanling's stupid child not do anything earth-shattering.
As soon as Miao Xu was helped to sit down in the hall, she woke up faintly and grabbed Ruyu's hand tightly: "My son, where have you been these days, you haven't been injured, my son!" β
Miao Xu wiped her eyes with teary eyes, patted her chest with her hands and shouted that it hurt, Ruyu couldn't listen to the person crying, and she was upset when she heard it.
If it was someone else, she would have ignored it, but Miao Xu was her mother in this world.
Fighting, can't beat, scold, can't scold, when Ruyu was worried, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said:
"Mother, my hysteria has been cured!"
Miao Xu was stunned for a long time, the surprise came too suddenly, and she didn't slow down a few breaths. After a while, he said in a very soft voice: "You said, your hysteria was cured?" β
Ouyang Ruyu said softly.
Miao Xu asked again: "Is your hysteria really cured?" β
Ouyang Ruyu knelt down and kowtowed three times on the ground: "Mother, my hysteria is cured!" When I went out, I walked in a daze to a cave where there were the bones of an immortal, and I did not understand, so I clumsily grabbed the hand of the immortal, and fell asleep next to it. β
"That night, the immortal came into my dream, and condemned me for being disrespectful and not knowing how to do things, and then found that I was not wise, and forgave me for my previous rudeness. The fairy chief said that I could meet him by fate, so he helped me cure hysteria, and since then, I have understood everything! β
Miao Xu gasped violently, and his hand grasped tighter, as if he was grasping a dream that seemed to be real, "That immortal, immortal ......"
"When I woke up the next day, I was on a hillside, no matter how I looked, I couldn't find the cave I entered before, and I couldn't see the bones of the immortals, and I got lost for a long time before I found my way back to Wen County!"
Jian Xuran saw the stitches and said, "Xu is that the immortal's fate with you has ended, so I don't want to see you anymore." β
Miao Xu nodded approvingly, "It's a great blessing that you can be cured of hysteria by immortals, how can you ask for more?" β
After speaking, she looked at her cautiously, this child is her baby bump, she has been holding it in the palm of her hand since she was a child, because she was born stupid, she looks distressed and often wipes her tears.
Phantom Ling is now well, fulfilling the dream she has had in her heart for many years.
Afraid that it was a dream, she still did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing this wonderful dream.
"It's good to be back, it's okay, my mother doesn't ask you to get fame and glory to your ancestors, as long as you are safe and stable in this life, even if your mother dies now, she will die without regrets!" Miao Xu sobbed.
The knot in her heart for many years was unveiled, and after saying this, she fainted again, but Ruyu was so scared that she really died!
Fortunately, she was just depressed for too long, and when she suddenly came back, her mother was overjoyed, so she fainted excitedly.
Ouyang Ruyu helped Miao Xu back to the room to rest, and after a while, Father Ning also returned, and similar scenes were staged again.
After three or four days, the slums near Ning's house knew that a strange thing had happened to Ning's children.
This Ning Huanling went out for a trip, slept in the open and didn't bring silver taels, and not only returned home safe and sound a few days later, but even the stupid hysteria was cured!
Especially the words that Ning Huanling explained to the Ning family's parents have been passed on in several versions, each version has slight deviations, and the transmission is becoming more and more mysterious, but no matter what, it is inseparable from five words:
Fools have fortune!
I can't read a word, I don't know the road, and I can return safely, except for the blessed shelter, what else can it be?
Because of "being cured by the immortals", the Ning family has also entertained several large families in the past few days, some of which have lent money to the Ning family, some are creditors who have been cheated by Ning Huanling and owe money, and some are the female families that Ning Huanling hugged before......
They came to the door to take a look at Ning Huanling, at this time Ning Huanling had a good wash, faded away the dirt, not only looked like a human but also had a bit of heroism, the dull eyes in the past were smart and profound, they couldn't help but believe this rumor.
On this trip, they came to the door to settle the debts and debts of the Ning family.
With such a son who was instructed by the immortals, how could they dare to accept the money from the Ning family, and they were not afraid that the money would be discounted!
The Ning family shirked left and right, and finally dissuaded them from returning all the money they had paid back before, and there was no reason to get it back if they had already repaid it.
As for the follow-up that has not been repaid yet, no matter what the people of the Ning family say, they will not want it!
After sending off the last group of guests, Geng Letian dressed up and followed Ruyu's side, and suddenly said, "When you left, that girl's family looked at you several times. β
The corners of Ruyu's mouth twitched, that girl's family is the girl who Ning Huanling once harmed, she hugged others for a long time with this body, and almost lost her reputation and could only marry Ning Huanling.
Fortunately, in the end, this matter was resolved, otherwise Ruyu really didn't know how to face this "fiancΓ©e".
She's a daughter, and she doesn't like lilies!
"No, you're wrong." Ruyu turned around and said.
Geng Letian: "I did look at you several times, and my eyes were a little strange and complicated. β
Ruyu: "So what? β
Geng Letian said hesitantly: "Maybe if you hug it again, she won't refuse." β
Ruyu gritted her teeth, and her voice squeezed out from between her teeth: "Hold you big-headed ghost!" β
Jian Xuran sneered, "Lotte, aren't you embarrassing our 'son'?" β
"I see that you two are just idle and have nothing to do, why don't you hurry up and clean the toilet for me!"
As soon as these words came out, both of them wilted.
The Ning family is not a big family, the two elders of the Ning family are very diligent and neat, and they don't need to be served by others, and although the identities of Jian Xuran and Geng Letian are Ning Huanling's little servants, it doesn't mean that they only need to take care of Ning Huanling.
If there is anything that needs help at home, both of them are ready-made people, and the little maid is a man, and he can do much more than a maid.
Jian Xuran, who is not afraid of death, often jokes about Ruyu, and is often called by Ruyu to do chores.
Geng Letian, as Jian Xuran's brother, how can he not save him when he sees death, so the two brothers and sisters are often punished together.
Sometimes Miao Xu saw it, and asked the two of them not to do it, just take care of Ning Huanling.
Ning Huanling is okay in the past few days, but it has been more than ten years since she was stupid before, and some habits are engraved in Miao Xu's bones and it is difficult to erase them quickly.
Even now, she often treats Phantom Ling with the standards of the past.
That is: hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, and hold it in the palm of your hand for fear of falling!
It's just that Ruyu will stare at Jian Xuran and Geng Letian, and say gloomily: "You dare to let my mother do dirty work? β
There was still a sentence that was not spoken, but Jian Xuran and Geng Letian both got the meaning of Ruyu, gave them a hundred guts, and did not dare to break ground on the boss's family!
Even if it's just a "fake family", they still roll off to do chores.
After another two days, when the rumors about her in the town subsided, Ruyu was finally able to take a breath on the street.
As soon as she went out, she immediately went to the tea shop to inquire about the news of "Lanruo Temple", no matter how bad it was, "Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen" could be.
In ancient times, transportation was extremely underdeveloped, and news was lagging behind and isolated from each other, and news could only circulate in a few neighboring towns, and sometimes even could not leave the town, but could only circulate in the town.
If she can't find out the news of "Lanruo Temple" here, she will definitely have to run to other places.
It was a long journey, and Ruyu had to plan ahead.
"Lanruo Temple? What kind of place is this, I've never heard of it! β
"Could it be a Buddhist temple, but a Buddhist temple wouldn't have such a name, would it?"
"The most famous temple in our town is Qingfeng Temple, but it's famous, is this what you are talking about?"
β¦β¦
After getting a lot of messy replies, Ruyu gave up looking.
She remembered that there was a town where everyone heard of the "Lanruo Temple", and it was very famous in the local area, and it would never be as ignorant as it is now, unless it was not here.
Ruyu touched her chin and groaned: "This is a bit tricky, do I want to follow Ning Caichen to go to Beijing to take the exam and have a chance encounter with Xiaoqian?" β
It's justβ
Nie Xiaoqian's fate will be saved by Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen in the end, whether it is the adapted version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" by the world or its predecessor "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is a good ending.
To change Xiaoqian's fate, do you have to turn a good ending into a bad ending?
Ruyu thought like this, suppressing her doubts in her heart, although she didn't want to destroy the flowers with her hands, but the task was good or bad, I just hoped it wasn't as bad as she thought.
When she went back, Ouyang Ruyu deliberately passed by a clothing shop and carefully selected a set of women's clothes, which was still suitable for young girls.
If it weren't for the fact that Ning Huanling's dementia hysteria had been cured, the person selling clothes would have thought she was going crazy again.
Ruyu's move was thoughtful, Jian Xuran and Geng Letian didn't understand why she suddenly chose women's clothes, but Ruyu was a woman, and it was normal to pick women's clothes, so they didn't ask much.
Back home, Miao Xu took her hand and asked her if she was uncomfortable, and Ruyu replied that everything was fine.
She also saw the women's clothes in Ruyu's hand, her eyes flashed slightly, and she deliberately waved off the others, took her sign and said earnestly: "Your dementia is also cured, and some things should be known." β
Ruyu lowered her eyebrows and bowed: "Mother, please speak." β
Miao Xu sighed: "When you were born, a vision fell from the sky, blood-red clouds sprinkled all over the sky, and Wen County also suffered an unprecedented rainstorm, many houses were flooded, and a few lives were lost.
At that time, some people said that the girls born in Wen County that day were all different, unknown! In order to save your life, I told the public that you are a male baby and asked you to dress up in men's clothes.
But even if that's the case, you can't hide it for a long time, or you were diagnosed by the doctor as born stupid, such a person doesn't even have the ability to fight, let alone harm others?
So you are the only child left that day, and there are many respected old people in the county who know that you are a daughter. β
Miao Xu touched her head, her eyes were as gentle as water: "In the past, you were not wise, it was good to be a man, you wouldn't be bullied, but if you were a girl, how difficult it would be." β
Ouyang Ruyu's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head and dragged Miao Xu's hand, and shouted sincerely: "Mother!" β
"Good boy, now that you have regained your clarity, you don't have to tie your hair and wrap your chest like a man, you can wear whatever you want, and your mother will buy it for you!" Miao Xu said with relief.
Ouyang Ruyu's eyes rolled, and the light in her eyes was sly and smart: "No, I think it's still convenient for men, mother, let me be a man first!" β
Miao Xu stretched out his hand and nodded her forehead, scolding with a smile: "You ghost spirit!" β
Knowing that Lanruo Temple is not here, Ruyu is not good at leaving quickly, she has a father and mother who love her in this world, even if she knows that their memories are all fabricated by the museum, but Ruyu still can't give up.
She wants the Ning family where she is in this world to live a peaceful and stable life, even if she is gone, she must be happy, and the first step to happiness is to make money.
It's hard to move an inch without money, and when Ruyu lived a poor life, she knew very well what it was like to have no money.
It was winter when I couldn't experience the warmth, I could only draw cakes to satisfy my hunger when I was hungry, and when other children were happy to buy this and buy, I could only squat silently in a corner and watch.
The Ning family can't have only one child, nor can they live on her alone, she has to accumulate a fortune for the Ning family, take good care of Miao Xu's body, and let them have another child.
This can be regarded as what she can do in this world to fulfill her filial piety for her children.
She will leave after all, and she doesn't want her father and mother here to be immersed in the grief of losing her.
