Chapter 104: The Living Are Like Us
In the end, paper can't hold the fire, and the news of Yingning's injury spread far and wide, and it spread throughout the Three Realms for a while. People kept coming to visit her, and she suddenly found that her popularity was not bad. She always thought that she was doing nothing, and she was nobody, and not too many people would miss her. However, it also feels good to be missed.
Meng Po knocked the melon seeds while looking east and west in her room. In the past few days, I don't know if there are too few ghosts reincarnated in Wangxiangtai, or if Meng Po is lazy and idle, she spends most of her time with her every day. There are many people who come to see Yingning, and each of them does not come empty-handed. So all of a sudden, the gifts in Yingning's room were piled up.
Yingning's body was not fully recovered, she was too lazy to move, and she was reluctant to touch those gifts. Meng Po found it very interesting and volunteered to open the gift for her.
Meng Po opened one of the boxes, and the exquisitely packaged brocade box shone with dazzling light. Meng Po took out the string, looked at it in front of her, and said with a smile: "Who is this who is so generous and sent such a valuable pearl hairpin?" Oh, it's not like I haven't seen the world, this pearl hairpin is crystal clear, the tentacles are slightly cool, and it's worth a lot of money. β
Ying Ning glanced at it, she didn't understand these jewelry, and she was not interested. But the pearl hairpin is really not like an ordinary product, and I don't know who gave it? Does she have such a big face? I think it's also for the sake of saving face, after all, her current title is his unfinished wife.
"Huh? How can there still be a calligraphy and painting? It's just that why do you want to give a remnant of a pair of items with such a large piece of ink on it. That's a bit too rude, isn't it? Or do I not understand appreciation, what is this emerging thing? Meng Po opened a scroll, and a large piece of black ink was splashed on the painting inside, which looked very abrupt.
Ying Ning was sitting on the bed and closing her eyes, she suddenly opened her eyes after listening, frowned and asked, "What kind of painting is it?" But the picture of flowers and birds? β
Meng Po looked at her and nodded: "There are flowers and birds, it should be regarded as a picture of flowers and birds."
Ying Ning lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said eagerly, "Come and show me."
Meng Po didn't know why he became so anxious, but he handed it to her. Ying Ning spread the painting on the table, looking at the large thick ink sprinkled on one of the flowers, her heart was sour, and it seemed that there were hands teasing her heart.
This picture of flowers and birds was once collected by her father, and this piece of ink was also accidentally sprinkled by her mischievous. The sudden sense of familiarity made Yingning feel a pain in her heart, her father's favorite painting was still there, and the person was indeed long gone. At that time, she was forced to go to the heavenly realm, and she was free to disperse, and all her father's belongings were missing. Now this painting has appeared inexplicably, is this a personal doing?
Ying Ning slowly rolled up the scroll and asked Meng Po in a low voice, "Do you know who sent it?"
Meng Po shook her head: "The list of these gifts was registered by a little boy, and he may have taken them to register and put them in the warehouse." Later, when he sends it to you, you can check it out. After speaking, Feng Feng changed and said: "But there is also a box tied to this scroll, you can take a look, maybe there are some clues." But is this painting important to you? I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary, but the ink is very eye-catching and unforgettable. β
Ying Ning took the brocade box and opened it carefully. The eye is a plate of delicate and fragrant peach blossom crisp, and a book is pressed under the peach blossom crisp, which looks like some kind of cheats.
"Oh, this is the peach blossom cake you made last time, and it smells so sweet?" Meng Po stared at her directly, and swallowed saliva faintly in her mouth.
Yingning brought out the peach blossom cake to Meng Po, and said with a smile: "I am more greedy than me, I will give it to you, so I should repay you for the kindness that has been with me for the past few days."
"Oh, I'm embarrassed if you're so polite." Having said that, Meng Po took it very unceremoniously.
"What's so embarrassing, you've been walking away from me a lot these days." Ying Ning said funny.
"Oh, don't you see through it. Besides, everything I took was with your consent, so you don't want to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Meng Po took a bite of the peach blossom cake and said with a smile.
Ying Ning smiled and shook her head, there was nothing she could do. Meng Po suddenly said, "Do you like that priceless pearl hairpin?"
As soon as Meng Po spoke, Ying Ning knew what she was thinking. Ying Ning snorted: "If I say I like it, don't you want it?"
Meng Po was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand: "I'm just asking, just asking, I don't have any other thoughts, let alone trying to snatch love." However, a gentleman has always had the beauty of an adult, and Yingning Fairy is the most in line with such a trait. β
Ying Ning stopped her and said helplessly: "If you like it, take it away, why put a high hat on me, I don't fit in."
Meng Po achieved her goal, stuffed the bead hairpin into her sleeve, and said, "Thank you!"
Ying Ning was only interested in the book, she didn't care about the pearl hairpin. She took the book to the bed, opened it casually, and found a note in the title page. It's just that the note is blank, and there is not a word in the book. According to Yejun's character, he shouldn't put blank notes and send blank books for no reason. He must have hidden something.
Ying Ning thought for a moment, read a word in his mouth, and stretched out two fingers to dot on the paper. A line of small words faintly appeared on the note: "Internal Strength and Mental Method, diligent and hard practice, can improve thousands of years of cultivation in more than a month."
Ying Ning hooked her lips and smiled, and her heart suddenly relaxed a lot. Everything is finally on track, and her plan for revenge begins. She placed the book under the mattress, and the surface was as motionless as a mountain.
On the side, Meng Po has eaten a lot of peach blossom cakes, and there are still residues on the corners of her mouth, which looks a little funny.
Ying Ning looked at Meng Po indifferently, twisted her fingers lightly, and a smile was dyed between her eyebrows. She spoke slowly, "How does it taste?" Seeing you eat so sweetly, I feel comfortable. β
Meng Po looked up at her, still holding a mouthful in her mouth, and said inarticulately: "Very good, very good, even better than you do."
Ying Ning smiled and said, "It's good if you like it, this is probably made of red silk." Her craftsmanship has always been better than mine, and the natural taste is better than mine. β
As he was talking, a ghost sent a report that someone from the heavenly realm had come to visit. Ying Ning originally felt a little strange, she was bedridden for several days to recuperate, and the people who came to see her almost broke through her threshold, but only the people from the heavenly realm were missing. Now someone finally came, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
Meng Po knew that someone was coming, so she got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she still walked away with half of the peach blossom cake. It's okay, she has been eating a light diet recently, such a sweet and greasy food, even if she loved it in the past, she still chose to give it up.
Yingning didn't expect that it was Aunt Xuannu who came to see her, and she must have been full of joy if she changed to usual. Now that she knows something about her father, she vaguely feels that the Xuannu is also involved, and the Xuannu must also know about her life experience. It's just that the Xuannu never revealed a word to her, what do you want? She didn't know, but there was a gap in her heart, and it was a little difficult to face it for a while.
As soon as the Xuannu entered the door, she checked her pulse. Ying Ning sighed in her heart, Xuannu was the one who raised her to adulthood, and she usually took good care of her and loved her. She can almost be regarded as half of Yingning's mother. Now, they seem to be going in a different direction. I don't know what role she played in her father's affairs.
After the Xuannu finished the treatment, she touched her forehead again, and said softly: "How can such a thing happen?" I'm scared to death to hear that you're badly injured. You've always been naughty, but you've never had such a terrible thing. β
"Auntie, I'm fine, don't you think I'm okay at the moment? I have always been blessed with great fortune, no one can touch me, I am a person who wants to live for a long time. Ying Ning pretended to be heartless.
Xuannu looked at her and smiled: "Seeing that she is about to become someone else's wife, she is still so careless when she speaks, when will she grow up a little bit and let my aunt rest assured?"
Ying Ning tilted her head, leaned on the shoulder of the Xuannu, and said lightly: "In front of my aunt, I naturally have no scruples when I speak?" If it were someone else, I would never say that. β
Xuannu let out a long sigh, stroked her soft hair and said gently: "In another month, it will be your wedding with you, are you ready?"
Ying Ning didn't have any special feelings about the wedding, even if the marriage was no different from the past. So she didn't have anything to prepare, and I only occasionally asked her for her opinions, most of which were his own opinions. Yingning is idle, why not.
Ying Ning only said truthfully: "I don't know what to prepare, I also said that I just need to be a hands-off shopkeeper, don't do anything, just follow him, it is my best choice."
Xuannu frowned: "He shouldn't be so used to you." Then he suddenly changed the topic: "Yingning, do you know what "the dead are gone, and the living are like this" means? β
Ying Ning was stunned, Xuannu asked too inexplicably, and she didn't think about it. She didn't know how to answer, and the Xuannu said: "If you know that you can't do it, it won't end well."
Ying Ning was shocked, could it be that Xuannu knew about her revenge plan and came to hint at her? Or you don't know much, come over and knock on the side. She bit her lip and said, "I don't understand what my aunt means, and I hope my aunt will make it clear."
Xuannu was helpless in the end, and added: "Yingning, it belongs to you, others can't snatch it, you don't have to go to great lengths to grab it."
Ying Ning suddenly smiled: "This is natural, Ying Ning will definitely remember her aunt's words."
Xuannu doesn't know if she really remembered it in her heart, she said it all, and it was not in vain. Although Yingning is simple and naΓ―ve, her brain is still very smart. She will always understand her good intentions, there are some things that cannot be touched, and if she is not careful, she will never recover.
When the Xuannu was leaving, she said to Yingning: "In a few days, the Heavenly Realm Shangyi Fang will send you a wedding dress." It's made to your old size, and I wonder if it still fits? I see that you seem to have grown taller and thinner in the underworld. You should try it first, if the size is not suitable, return it as soon as possible to modify it, so as not to delay your marriage. β
Ying Ning nodded, the corners of her eyes were sour, and only then did she realize her mother's feelings.
