Chapter 13: The Pure Land
Ning Shoubo smashed the study.
It didn't take half a day for this matter to spread everywhere in the house.
Even the little guy who feeds the horses in the horse shed is talking about it, and the cook in the kitchen is also carefully cooking and eating, for fear that the taste of the food will not taste good and anger the master.
After Cheng Yanluo knew about this, he just smiled.
She's now sorting out her stuff.
Disobeyed Ning Shoubo Chengfeng, Cheng Yanluo knew that her good days would be gone forever.
In the future, I am afraid that she will be sad day by day in the house.
She needs to be prepared.
She found all the jewelry she had saved over the past few years and some moon silver, plus the gold and silver bills that the house sent to each girl for the New Year's Festival.
Ning Shoubo has no real power, in fact, there are very few people in the house, compared to some high-ranking officials in Chang'an City, Ning Shoubo's mansion can be regarded as poor.
But Ning Shoubo loves face, but he has never treated his children badly in terms of food and clothing.
Therefore, Cheng Yanluo has saved a lot of money over the years.
She has more than two taels of silver per month, because Aunt Li is still favored, and people don't dare to be greedy for ink, plus she has Aunt Li's subsidy for food, and she has saved a hundred or ten taels of silver.
There are all kinds of jewelry, in order to let people look high, the jewelry used by the girls in the house is very sufficient, and the workmanship is also very meticulous, there is almost no silver jewelry, most of it is gold, and there are some jade, as well as some pearl jewelry.
These are the most valuable things in Chengyanluo.
She put all the jewelry in a box and hid it.
I counted the gold and silver bills again, but there were more than a dozen taels.
These things are exchanged for silver, and there must be about a thousand taels, which is nothing for the people of Ningshoubo Mansion to come to the main property, but if they are taken outside, as long as the life is not luxurious, it is enough for a person to eat and drink well for a lifetime.
Cheng Yanluo had planned it, if Ning Shoubo's Mansion really couldn't stay, she would find a suitable time to leave.
Actually, if you really want to talk about it, Cheng Yanluo thinks it's best to leave before the war, and when the war is in chaos, no one will check the household registration again, and she can have many reasons to get by.
It's not a good time to leave now, there will be a lot of trouble.
Cheng Yanluo pondered, she should find a way to get a household registration.
It's just that now the court is very strict about household registration, plus she is a girl from Ningshoubo's Mansion, no matter how she says it, she is a daughter of the clan, and suddenly she can't find it, this matter is definitely not trivial, and she can't say that she will be found again, and something will happen.
If she had to do it, Cheng Yanluo thought, she would better mix in Ning Shoubo's Mansion for a few days.
She put away all the things of value.
Even the jewelry on his head was hidden.
She only uses some simple silver jewelry to fix her hair now, and she looks very elegant and simple, even inferior to some of the favored girls in the house.
But now Cheng Yanluo doesn't have any vanity, she doesn't care about other people's eyes, and she doesn't need to decorate herself with gorgeous jewelry.
After packing up his things, Cheng Yanluo was thinking about going out to find something to eat, when he heard a movement outside.
"Seventh sister, seventh sister ......"
This voice?
Cheng Yanluo was stunned for a moment.
This voice is familiar, the kind of voice that is carved into the bones.
She immediately turned around and went out, and saw Cheng Shuo standing in the courtyard with a smile on his face.
Now Cheng Shuo is still a small lump, and the white and pure child is standing there, with a little face reflecting the sun, and it looks really cute.
"Shuo'er?" Cheng Yanluo could hardly believe it.
She hesitated to take a few steps, rushed into her arms like a small cannonball, and hugged her waist coquettishly: "Seventh sister, why haven't you played with Shuo'er these days?" ”
The tears in Cheng Yanluo's eyes almost burst out of his eyes.
If there is one more person in this house who can keep her a little warm, it is Cheng Shuo.
This younger brother she has always regretted passing away early.
She still remembers that Cheng Shuo was very close to her when she was a child, and any delicious and fun things would be left to her, and she would pester her to tell stories.
That is her own brother, and the only brother who has given her sincerity and really cares about her.
It's a pity that Cheng Shuo passed away before he reached adulthood.
When Cheng Shuo died, Cheng Yanluo didn't even see him for the last time, but he heard that Cheng Shuo was a victim of the rivalry between his wife and concubine in Ning Shoubo's mansion.
She has always regretted why she was not at home that day, why she didn't take a good look at Cheng Shuo, and why she let him drown at the bottom of the cold lake at a young age?
Seeing Cheng Shuo again, Cheng Yanluo was full of excitement, and she hugged Cheng Shuo with trembling hands: "These days...... My sister is a little uncomfortable, but now it's okay, I can play with Shuo'er. ”
Cheng Shuo smiled and grinned: "Can that sister take me out to play?" ”
"Good ......"
Cheng Yanluo almost said yes, she quickly covered her mouth: "No, Shuo'er is still young, so she can't go out of the house." ”
"But?" Cheng Shuo tilted his head, with a curious expression: "Shuo'er heard that there are a lot of fun things outside, and there are a lot of things to eat, Shuo'er wants to go out to play, and besides, my father said to take Shuo'er to play together, sister, together, my father said, if my sister doesn't go, Shuo'er can't go out to play." ”
Cheng Yanluo instantly understood what was going on.
Ning Shoubo has not given up using her.
This is deliberately used to threaten her.
Ning Shoubo's meaning of letting Cheng Shuo come is already obvious.
If Cheng Yanluo is disobedient, I am afraid that Cheng Shuo's life will be very difficult.
Cheng Shuo!
Her own brother, the last bit of warmth in her heart, the last piece of pure land...... She wants someone to take care of.
The tears in Cheng Yanluo's eyes fell little by little.
Cheng Shuo felt it.
He stretched out his little fat hand to wipe Cheng Yanluo's tears: "Sister doesn't cry, if my sister doesn't want to go out to play...... Then we won't go. ”
Cheng Yanluo shook his head: "Go, if Shuo'er wants to go, we will go, and my sister will accompany Shuo'er." ”
That's it, that's it for her to become a smoker anyway.
Whether her reputation is ruined, used by others, or ridiculed, in the end, as long as Cheng Shuo is good, she is willing to give everything.
"Really?" Cheng Shuo immediately became happy when he heard this.
His smile was bright: "Then let's hurry up, my father is still waiting." ”
"Okay." Cheng Yanluo nodded and took Cheng Shuo to Ning Shoubo's study.
When they passed, Ning Shoubo was sitting at the desk with a golden knife, and when he saw Cheng Yanluo coming, a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Have you thought about it?" ”
"Yes." Cheng Yanluo lowered his head: "It's Qi Niang's mistake, Qi Niang is here to compensate the master." ”
Ning Shoubo smiled: "How can father and daughter have an overnight feud, since you know that you are wrong, let's go." ”
Cheng Yanluo took a step back: "Master first, please." ”
Cheng Shuo followed behind Cheng Yanluo, looked at Ning Shoubo, and then looked at Cheng Yanluo, a little unclear.
