Hearing Huanxi calling himself out of the house, Ding Ning sighed weakly and replied:

"Rejoice, come in, I'm up."

As she spoke, Ding Ning was about to get up and dress, but she didn't close her eyes all night, and she felt weak and couldn't get out of bed at all before she stood up. Huanxi walked in cautiously with the water, she gently put the water down before raising her head to look at her young lady, this look frightened her a lot, and was shocked:

"Miss, what's the matter? There's no blood on your face, what's wrong? ”

Ding Ning mustered up all his strength and sat up and replied:

"It's okay, I was a little scared last night...... Ding Ning didn't finish speaking, and suddenly reacted that he shouldn't let Huanxi know what happened last night, so as not to worry about this stupid girl and be at a loss, so she changed the topic and continued, "I was scared by a nightmare last night, and I haven't fallen asleep, so I look a little haggard!" Be careful for a while and you'll be fine. ”

After Ding Ning finished speaking, Huanxi began to blame himself:

"I'm sorry Miss, I must have been tired from washing clothes yesterday, I went back to the house and drank some water and fell asleep, did you call me when you had nightmares at night, but I didn't agree? Miss I'm sorry, I don't know how I ......"

Ding Ning felt that it was not a thing for her to blame herself for just looking at Huanxi like this, after all, her body was really uncomfortable, and she needed someone to help her get up, so she interrupted Huanxi's words and said:

"Don't blame yourself for being happy, come and help me get up and wash up, quickly, I'm a little struggling myself."

Huanxi heard her young lady say this, and immediately stepped to the bed in a few steps to reach out to help Ding Ning up, and arranged for her to wash. Under the careful dress of joy, Ding Ning's face was dyed with rouge and blood, and his eyebrows and eyes outlined his spirit with powder. Ding Ning looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror, felt that he didn't look so scary, and said to Huanxi with a smile:

"Joy is really amazing, I think I can't do without our joy in one step, this craft, I don't know how many people want to envy me for having joy."

"Look at what Miss said, this makeup is to cover up Miss's haggard appearance, but Miss's weak appearance still has to be made up by Miss herself. Miss now go to the main hall to sit and eat something, and then Miss will sleep for a while, this time Huanxi will stay by Miss's side and watch Miss sleep, so Miss doesn't have to worry about nightmares and can't sleep. ”

Seeing Huanxi thinking about herself everywhere, Ding Ning's heart was about to soften, and she secretly sighed, in this vast sea of people, it was a shame that she met such a heart-wrenched little girl, otherwise, in this Spring Pavilion, life would be sad.

Ding Ning thought in his heart but didn't say anything, just strolled to the dining table in the main hall and sat down to eat breakfast. This morning, the kitchen prepared millet porridge and steamed buns, which are very suitable for Ding Ning's appetite, and she was happy to see that her girl had eaten a lot in one go, and her heart was happy, she felt that Ding Ning could eat so happily, thinking that the threat caused by last night's nightmare should have gradually decreased by half, and let Ding Ning rest for a while, and he should be able to recover in the afternoon, after all, today's ninth mother also arranged for Ding Ning to practice dancing, and on the territory of this ninth mother, the things arranged by the ninth mother cannot be shirked.

After Ding Ning finished breakfast, sat in the courtyard and read a book for a while, Huanxi reminded:

"Do you want to rest for a while? In the afternoon, the people arranged by the ninth mother will come to stare at the young lady to practice dancing. ”

Ding Ning smiled when he heard this, and said to Huanxi:

"Today, I'm afraid that Jiu's mother won't have time to send someone to watch me practice dance, I guess I can rest steadily until the sun sets."

"How does Miss know this? I haven't seen anyone come to talk today. Why didn't anyone come? ”

Ding Ning sighed at the simplicity and cuteness of this silly girl while listening to Huan Xi's words, she stood up and said:

"Don't go anywhere today, just stay with me in this courtyard, if someone really comes to stare at me later, you can wake me up, if no one comes, you just let me sleep for a while, I didn't sleep all night last night, I'm really tired."

As he spoke, Ding Ning walked to his bed and sat down, took off his shoes, and lay on his side. Huanxi was afraid that her young lady would have nightmares again, so she stayed by the bedside and refused to leave a single step. In the end, even Huanxi himself fell asleep on the bed.

Huanxi slept until dusk before waking up, as soon as she opened her eyes, she found that she had slept too deeply, and had been lying on her stomach in a position, and now her legs and feet were numb, and she was afraid of waking up her own young lady, so she didn't dare to hum, so she could only gasp, and forcibly stood up to find a bench to sit down. Huanxi kept rubbing her legs that were so numb that her tears were about to fall, and her tearless expression made anyone who looked at her feel sympathy for her. At this moment, someone pushed the door and came in.

Huanxi looked up - Nine Mother. Hurriedly got up to greet him, but his legs and feet were too numb, and he was about to kneel down all of a sudden, and the old woman next to Jiu's mother rushed forward to help Huanxi up. Seeing this girl's reckless appearance, Mother Nine asked with a bad face:

"Why are you always so reckless, I don't think Ning'er is like this, why is there a girl like you to serve?"

Joy replied with a painful expression on his legs:

"Mom, don't be angry, Miss had a nightmare last night, I didn't rest all night, I just wanted to rest with Miss for a while, I didn't think that I fell asleep on the side of the bed, and my legs were numb on my knees. Please forgive Mom! ”

Mother Nine didn't want to talk to Huanxi about these boring things, so she glanced at Huanxi and said:

"How much better are you now? It's much better, go and tell your young lady to get up quickly, I have something to say to her. ”

Huanxi heard the instructions of Mother Jiu, where did she dare to slacken, and limped to the bedside to tell Ding Ning to get up. Ding Ning was awakened by the sound of joy's hurried call, she sat up and sobered up for a moment, and said in her head:

"What's wrong? What's up? ”

Huanxi leaned into Ding Ning's ear and whispered:

"Mother Nine is here, I can't guess what is going on by looking at my expression, is it that we all fell asleep in the afternoon, and the mother who came to stare at you to practice dancing didn't wake us up and went back to talk nonsense?"

After listening to the happy words, Ding Ning looked up at the window and said with a light smile:

"What should come will come, it's not necessarily a bad thing, help me up."

Huanxi helped Ding Ning up, and after a simple tidying up, he went to the main hall to see Mother Nine, Mother Nine had a complicated expression, smiling, but showing guilt. As soon as Ding Ning saw this expression, she knew that the Lin family had come to find Mother Nine, and she was very sure that Mother Nine had received money from the Lin family. But she had to pretend she didn't know anything. Ding Ning asked:

"Did my mother come to me to tell me something?"

Mother Nine looked at Ding Ning, paused and said:

"Ning'er, there is a happy event today, your happy event, but my mother still has to ask you and listen to your opinion."

Hearing this, Ding Ning understood in his heart that the Lin family had already come to ask for someone from Mother Jiu, Ding Ning replied with a smile:

"Mom said that I was confused, I slept here all day, and I forgot to practice dancing, how can there be any happy event? Mom, don't make fun of me. ”

"Ning'er, what are these words, Ning'er, listen to me slowly." As she spoke, Mother Nine motioned for Ding Ning to sit down, and then continued, "Someone came to me today to propose marriage, saying that your eight characters and her son-in-law are the most suitable, and they say that you have to do it." But the ninth mother I told the family, I said that my Ning'er was brought up by me, is my heart's meat, I have to ask my Ning'er if she is willing to give them a reply, my mother is here to ask Ning'er what she means, if Ning'er does not agree to this family matter, my mother immediately asked someone to return the gift money sent by his family. ”

Listening to Mother Jiu's words, Ding Ning really felt funny, since he wanted to ask her if she agreed, why did she accept the bride price, since she said that it was her heart, why did she ruthlessly marry her to a murderer who didn't blink. Ding Ning thought that the words of the ninth mother were really funny. Looking at Mother Nine's grinning face again, she was even more sarcastic in her heart. Ding Ning pretended to be ignorant and asked:

"Who is Mother Nine?"

When Mother Nine heard Ding Ning ask this, she felt that it was not good, but she couldn't let Ding Ning know who she was going to marry, and after a little thought, she said:

"It's a big family in this city, the other party said that he married a Qinglou woman, I'm afraid that if you don't marry, you will lose face in his family if you say it, so I didn't tell me whose family it is, and I only waited until the day you got married."

Seeing that Ding Ning didn't react, Mother Nine was afraid that Ding Ning would have any other ideas, so she continued:

"The parents and ancestors of this family are all from Jinshi, and although the son's generation is only a showman, it can be regarded as a high-ranking family. That's all my mother knows, daughter, to be honest, in this Spring Pavilion, you are really the only girl who has such an experience, and it is thanks to the eight characters that my mother made up for you at the time, and people said that the eight characters are the most suitable for his son-in-law. Nine mothers, this is also for your good, if you miss this village, there will be no such store. ”

The more Mother Jiu talked, the more anxious she became, she originally thought that such a good thing, any girl in the Chunman Pavilion would readily agree, but she didn't expect this Ding Ning to be so dumbfounded, expressionless, and not give her any reply, she began to wonder if she had said something wrong.

And at this moment, Ding Ning, thinking about what Yan Cheng Gongzi said to herself last night, she wasn't having a nightmare last night, what Yan Cheng said became a reality today, confirming everything to her in front of her. Ding Ning's palms began to sweat, her decision to "gamble" yesterday made her regret it a little now, but Ding Ning herself knew that it was useless to be afraid, since she had already made a decision, she had to muster up the courage to go on.

Thinking so, Ding Ning replied:

"Although Ning'er wants to repay her mother's nurturing kindness and stay in the Spring Mange Pavilion to make money for her mother, since my mother is now thinking about me and finding me a good family, Ning'er is naturally more grateful to her mother. In the future, when Ning'er gets married, she will remember her mother's kindness. ”

Hearing Ding Ning's answer, Mother Nine was happy in her heart, and said with a smile:

"Mom knows that Ning'er is a good girl, and there will definitely be a good family to go to. Someone will come to marry you tomorrow, and you will move back to the old house in a while, and you will marry from the old house tomorrow morning. The other party has conditions, I can't let you marry as a Qinglou woman. After you get married tomorrow, no one will ever say that you have ever appeared here in this Spring Pavilion. ”

"Everything is arranged by my mother, and I will pack up my things and move back to the old house." Ding Ning saluted and said politely. Then, Ding Ning looked at Huanxi again and said:

"Huanxi, pack up your things, let's go back to the old mansion immediately."

Huanxi listened to the conversation between Jiu's mother and Ding Ning for a while, but she still didn't understand what they were talking about, to put it more bluntly, Huanxi actually didn't believe it, she didn't believe that there would be a white family willing to marry a Qinglou woman to go back to be a wife, and it was to hang red silk, and the eight sedan chairs were officially married. Joy was in a daze, so he scratched his head and went to clean up.

From packing up his things to moving back to the old house, Ding Ning took less than an hour under the orderly arrangement of Jiu's mother. When Ding Ning arrived at the old mansion, the house was already hung with red silk, she looked at the red of this scene, and the courtyard was full of joy for the wedding, but she was the only one who smelled a chilling blood from this red breath.

Huanxi looked at Ding Ning's unhappy appearance, and he couldn't be happy. I don't know how long it took before Ding Ning held Huanxi's hand and said:

"Rejoice, let's wash and sleep. Tomorrow, you will marry with me. No matter what happens in the future, we will have to face it together, if I have any bad results in the future, you must also be a good servant of others, and be cautious and cautious. ”

What happened that night made Huanxi unable to touch the north, she was dazed, nodded and did things, and couldn't say anything. At this time, listening to Ding Ning's words, he only knew how to nod and say, "Yes." ”

Huanxi boiled water for Ding Ning to wash, watched Ding Ning fall asleep, and went back to the small room to sleep.

Ding Ning couldn't sleep, her eyes kept staring out of the window, the moonlight was still beautiful, the white moonlight was reflected on the window paper, she could see the shadows of the trees, and knew that the evening breeze was blowing outside the house. It's just that her heart is not so calm, she can't sleep, and she doesn't want to sleep. Facing a completely unknown future, there is also that demonic man...... The more Ding Ning thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep, but the scene that scared her was playing out in front of her eyes at this moment - a black figure appeared outside the window, and her window was being quietly opened from the outside. Ding Ning shrank back in fright, pinched the quilt tightly, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to run out of the room. But just as she got up and ran outside the house, a big hand covered her mouth and pulled her back.
