Chapter 20: Zheng Xiuning's hatred
Lock Smoke Pavilion.
Zheng Xiuning paced back and forth in front of the window, his fingers unconsciously stirring together.
A maid pushed the door in, and the creaking sound of the door opening made Zheng Xiuning's heart startled, and he immediately sank his face and scolded: "Who let you in!" ”
The maid didn't know what she had done, which provoked the taboo of the second lady, but she could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
"It's the slave's fault, the slave and the maid will go out immediately."
"Don't get out of here!"
Zheng Xiuning was even more upset, she originally said that the Yang family would take advantage of Zheng Anyan's absence to get rid of Jing Ning, but for some reason, the Yang family bit it to death and didn't agree.
"Ning'er, although your father is on the front line, he still has many of her eyeliner in the house, as long as we make a move, we will inevitably be known, now is not the time to move Zheng Xiuning, what we have to do now is to endure!"
Endure.
How many years has she heard this word?
Since the first day she walked into the Zheng Mansion, she has been enduring it, carefully currying favor with the people she hates herself, groveling, and in the end, even she herself is a little disgusted with herself.
Now, she doesn't want to endure it anymore!
At this time, the maid she sent out to pay attention to Jingning's yard rushed in, "Second Miss, the eldest lady is back." ”
"What? She's actually back? ”
Zheng Xiuning's face was ugly for a moment, and the next moment, she restrained the expression on her face.
"I see, you go down."
When the room was empty, she turned around, and her face finally turned hideous.
It actually failed!
"Miss, there is no movement in Aunt Yang's yard and the yard of the second miss."
Bihua respectfully told the news she had heard.
Jing Ning smiled, and didn't care much on his face, "They were originally calm people, otherwise, how could they hide from their father for so many years?" ”
As she spoke, she stood up and took the thick stack of books on the table into her arms.
"Let's go, come with me to see Grandmother."
Jing Ning had just arrived at the old lady's courtyard, and before he entered the door, he heard laughter and laughter coming from inside.
Jing Ning lowered his head, a cold light crossed his eyes, and then walked in with a smile.
"Grandmother." With her call, there was a moment of silence in the room.
"Sister?"
When he saw Jing Ning standing in front of him unharmed, a cold light crossed Zheng Xiuning's eyes, but a touch of affection appeared on his face at the right time.
She ran down in surprise and grabbed Jing Ning's hand, "Sister, why did you come to Grandmother's place?" ”
Is this a roundabout reminder to the old lady that she has never set foot here in the past?
Sure enough, the old lady narrowed her eyes, glanced Jing Ning up and down, and said faintly, "Why did Jing Yatou come today?" ”
I have to say that Jing Ning's visit surprised the old lady a little, after all, this girl has never been close to her in the past, even to the point where she turned her head when she saw herself.
Jing Ning said, "Speaking of which, Jing Ning came to my grandmother today to apologize to my grandmother." ”
At this, she pursed her lips, and her face was a little guilty.
"In the past, some people always liked to chew the root of their tongue in Jing Ning's ear, saying that grandmother, you don't like Jing Ning, and asking Jing Ning for advice is that Mr. Jing Ning wants to see Jing Ning's jokes, and also said that grandmother, you are very fierce, at that time, Jing Ning was not sensible, so he really believed these words, thinking that grandmother didn't like Jing Ning, and every time he saw his grandmother, he wanted to avoid it."
She paused, and continued.
"Later, when Jing Ning grew up, he realized that what those people said was actually wrong, but Jing Ning couldn't pull his son to apologize in his grandmother's yard."
The old lady originally thought that Jing Ning had caused some trouble again, so she thought of coming here to apologize, but she didn't expect it to be because of this reason.
Her eyes suddenly bent, and she asked with a smile, "Oh, why are you pulling down now?" ”
Jing Ning muttered, "It's not grandmother, you go to the capital to offer incense, it's been a few months, even if Jing Ning misses you, he can't secretly look at you." ”
The old lady finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Zheng Xiuning next to him even stiffened his smile.
Her fingers clenched suddenly, her heart was shocked and angry, she didn't expect that Jing Ning, who had not seen her for a few days, would change so much.
What's going on, haven't you hated the old lady in the past few years? Why did you suddenly start pleasing the old lady?
She suppressed the panic she felt because she couldn't control it, and was about to speak, but the old lady suddenly saw the book in Jing Ning's arms.
"Jing Ning is reading a book, what kind of book are you reading?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand and motioned for Jing Ning to bring the book up for her to see.
Jing Ning smiled and took a few steps forward, and presented the book in his hand, his voice was sweet and clear, "This is the Heart Sutra of Master Bodhi that Jing Ning copied to your grandmother, there are 12 books in total." ”
Master Bodhi, a well-known monk in the capital.
The old lady is a person who believes in Buddhism, and naturally knows the name of Master Bodhi, but what really surprised her was-
"When did Jing Ning like Buddhist scriptures?"
"Yes, sister, didn't you like Buddhist scriptures the most in the past? I always say that the Buddhist scriptures are very verbose, and it makes people feel dizzy when they listen to it! How could you suddenly like Buddhist scriptures? ”
Zheng Xiuning's words were actually satirizing Jing Ning for not really liking Buddhist scriptures, but just wanting to win the favor of the old lady.
There was no way, Jing Ning's change really made her panic, she was afraid that Jing Ning would share the favor of the old lady.
Jing Ning blinked, "I never said I liked Buddhist scriptures." ”
At this moment, the old lady's smile was also slightly ugly.
"But my grandmother likes it." Jing Ning said, and directly hugged the old lady's arm.
"As long as my grandmother likes it, I like it, and my father said that my grandmother is a very powerful person, and I want to learn more from my grandmother, and my grandmother likes Buddhist scriptures, so the Buddhist scriptures must be useful and beneficial things, although I don't understand it now, but my grandmother can teach me."
Jing Ning said, and leaned into the old lady's arms.
"Grandmother, what Jing Ning said is right?"
The old lady was completely amused by Jing Ning at this moment, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "I didn't expect that you are such a naughty girl, but you listen to your father's words." ”
Jing Ning hugged the old lady, and Yu Guang saw Zheng Xiuning's ugly face next to him.
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she buried her head in the old lady's arms.
If you want to please people, you must first do what you like.
At the beginning, Zheng Xiuning relied on copying Buddhist scriptures to escape the favor of the old lady little by little, and finally occupied a pivotal position beside the old lady.
Looking at the position that belonged to him in the past, but now it is occupied by the person he hates and hates the most, Zheng Xiuning's face can't show any dissatisfaction.
However, in her heart, she read Jing Ning's name over and over again, and every word was hatred.
