Chapter 25: Jealousy is born
Mu Bangting is wearing a light purple gauze silk skirt, the embroidery at the collar is very good-looking, and she only holds a jasper hairpin obliquely on her head, giving people a fresh and elegant, gentle and amiable feeling.
Mu Bangting was holding Dou Shi, but the smile on her face was a little more lively.
"The weather is so good, grandmother, why don't we go to the west side to go out, it is said that the plum blossoms over there are blooming well."
Dou Shi smiled and poked her head, his tone contained helplessness but a little tolerance:
"You girl, you're pretty good at picking the ground!"
Mu Wanxin was taken aback, the Dou family has always been dignified and not close to their granddaughters, when did they become so intimate with Mu Bangting?
But what Mu Wanxin didn't know was that during this period of time, she had accompanied Dou every day to chant scriptures, make tea, and speak, and the efforts and persistence behind her were unimaginable to ordinary people.
At this time, the little girl reported that the third lady had arrived, and Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly walked up and saluted:
"Jiaojiao has been sick in bed, and she couldn't come to greet the imperial grandmother, and asked the imperial grandmother to forgive her sins."
Dou Shi glanced at her and said lightly: "Get up." ”
Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao straightened up and said, "Yes." ”
Mu Wangting glanced at Dou's face, walked over with a smile, and helped Mu Jiaojiao up.
"Third sister, don't ask for guilt at every turn, the old lady is a kind person and won't blame you."
Mu Jiaojiao's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly realized that Mu Wangting had figured out Dou's temper.
And the same descendant of the Mu family, Mu Bangting can please the Dou family, but why can't she?
"The Emperor... Imperial grandmother, Jiaojiao is just uneasy in her heart...... Mu Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, and her tears were almost falling.
It's not that Mu Bangting wants to deliberately make it difficult for this Mu Jiaojiao, just to test Mu Jiaojiao's pounds and taels.
People who can't stand it like this are just a little white lotus that hasn't grown in a greenhouse.
But many years later, Mu Bangting didn't expect that Mu Jiaojiao would become the biggest enemy on her regime road, and she was deceived by Mu Jiaojiao's soft surface, so she suffered a big loss on the road in the future.
Dou Shi sighed slightly and said:
"You are also a well-behaved child, the old body knows, between your own family, you don't have to pay attention to these etiquette, and you will change the rules of this day and three greetings in the future. If you have the heart, you can come and see my old bones twice in three days. ”
Mu Jiaojiao stopped her tears after hearing Dou say this.
Mu Wangting smiled faintly: "The third sister has just recovered from a serious illness, and there are a lot of things to avoid mouthing. In the future, we sisters will be able to move around a lot again. ”
Mu Jiaojiao stared at her, her mood was very complicated.
For a while, I was a little surprised by Mu Bangting's care.
"Jiao'er knows, Jiao'er should remember the instructions of the eldest sister."
Dou nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, you two are sisters, and you are young ladies in Shangshu Mansion, and I am quite pleased to have this brotherhood." Don't get into an argument over a trivial matter. ”
Mu Wangting blinked her eyes and smiled, "Yes." ”
......
After everyone left, Dou asked Mama Zhang beside him:
"I heard that the third aunt is sick? Is it still serious? If you cough again, ask a doctor to come into the house to check your pulse. ”
This is what Dou said for the sake of face, and Mama Zhang understood:
"Yes, the old lady is the most compassionate, the old man came back last time, and said that the yard was too cold, and he had invited a doctor for the third aunt, and also allocated a few girls to serve, and now it is very good."
Dou nodded slightly
Mama Zhang smiled again:
"On weekdays, the old lady recites the scriptures, although the ladies will also come to accompany her, but in the end she is young and can't sit still. After a while, she left, this eldest lady was so strange, she sat with the old lady for two or three hours, and from time to time kneaded the old lady's shoulders, and she really had a Buddha heart. ”
Dou Shi smiled:
"The old body is not blind, who is sincere and who is false, you can understand it at a glance. Although Bang Ting's child is seeking refuge, she also has a three-point sincerity towards the old body, that is, for this sincerity, the old body will also take care of her, the key is - she is worth lifting. ”
Mama Zhang helped Dou to lie down and said, "I hope the eldest lady will not dismiss the old lady's high hopes." ”
Dou closed his eyes and said:
"Although Bang Ting, this child is smart, I still hope that she can restrain her temperament, but it is even more difficult to survive in this Longtan tiger's den."
Mama Zhang's heart jumped, and she stopped making a noise after answering.
******
In the evening, Mu Bangting found a notebook and slowly copied it on the table.
There has never been a shortage of talented women in Kyoto, such as Helian Qianjin of the general's family, who knew how to read and write at the age of one, memorized poems at the age of three, and read hundreds of books at the age of five.
For example, the daughter of Lan Ruojia, a third-grade clerk from the scholarly family, was even more famous at the age of three, and she was able to read medical books at the age of seven. By the time he was ten years old, he was even more proficient in military science.
Mu Bangting's previous owner only began to read and write when she was five years old, and compared with the daughters of other families, I don't know how much later.
Although she later made up for her clumsiness with diligence, she only knew the words, but the words she wrote were secretly laughed at by many people.
But she Mu Bangting is none other than a modern human being after 2000. For her, who has a double doctorate, it is naturally not a problem to know a few words. But it's difficult, it's difficult that even if she knows a good hand, she won't be able to write the small font of this era at all.
Practicing calligraphy can calm down and not say anything, and it can make her have a deeper understanding of this tadpole word, which will benefit her a lot.
With a thud, the window was slammed open.
A strong wind rushed in, turning the pages of the book, Bi Qian, who was breaking melon seeds on the side, hurriedly got up to close the window, only to find that the sky had changed greatly, she frowned, and the sun was still shining at lunchtime, and the sky was gloomy at this time.
She turned around and said to Mu Wanting:
"Miss, it's getting dark, you have to pay attention to your eyes when writing, and the slave goes to fetch a few candles."
Mu Wangting nodded without raising her head.
Bi Qian shook her head helplessly, knowing that the young lady didn't like to be disturbed by others when she practiced calligraphy, so she lightly covered the door and went out.
After another half an hour, the sky had become a little drowsy, as dark as night.
With lightning and thunder, the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell like broken threads.
In an instant, there was a loud bang in all directions.
Mu Wangting raised her head slightly and looked at the sky, stood up and reopened the window, looking at the rain outside the window, a little stunned for a while.
She doesn't like rainy nights, and she especially remembers that the day of her father's assassination was also such a heavy rain, so every time such a day comes, it will evoke the dark past in her memory.
