Princess Ankang pointed out that the object of Sang scolding Huai was naturally the girl Jiayin brought back by Su Yu, and now she is also Su Yu's concubine.
After Jiayin entered the house, Su Yu specially instructed her to call Zisang Courtyard alone to live in her. After Princess Ankang was released from house arrest, she did not live back in the main courtyard, but was sent to the relatively remote Ruowu Courtyard by Su Yu. Jiayin is a house where all three media and six certificates are complete, she has no family anymore, so Su Yu specially invited an elderly mother-in-law to take care of it on her behalf, and she did it very decently, as if she was married according to the treatment of a genuine lady.
As for Princess Ankang, I don't know if Su Yu is coincidental or deliberate, even the name of the new residence is called "Ruowu", if there is no Wu, if there is no such person as you, how good it would be. Princess Ankang was so angry that she even had heart palpitations, but there was nothing she could do.
The contradiction between Jiayin and Princess Ankang broke out unabashedly from the day Jiayin entered this door. From top to bottom, the Suyin family was inevitably involved in this dispute. The world-famous magic family has a house fight, which is no different from the ordinary high-gate compound, the same chickens and dogs jump.
Chu Ning has been back for a few days, and only Lan Jisheng's daughter Su Qingyue has come to see her a few times, and by the way, she brought some news to chat with her to relieve her boredom. Chu Ning pieced together a rough picture of the things before and after from her words. In August, Queen Qi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hinted at Su Yu and Mrs. Su several times, intentionally or unintentionally, that the peace of the house is still more important, after all, Su Yu is a figure like a national teacher, and now it is so noisy that the whole city is watching jokes, which is really not good.
Old Madam Su finally came forward and reprimanded both Jiayin and Princess Ankang, and only then did they stop a little.
As soon as August passes, there is some autumn in Lindu, every year when the weather turns cool, the Suyin family goes to the northwest of Lindu to live in Minshan for a while, and by the way, the spirit pets raised at home are also brought over, so that they can be free-range in the mountains for a period of time, absorb the aura of the mountains and trees, and recover some wildness a little.
This trip was very difficult, and almost half of the utensils and servants at home had to be brought with them, even Su Tianxin, who had not been out for many years, had to go with them. At the time of departure, Mrs. Su's pet alone accounted for four carriages, and in addition to her old man's favorite Ah Sheng, there were also a number of birds and animals.
Minshan lies east and west, the mountains are much cooler than the foot of the mountain, at this time up the mountain, the leaves of the mountain are already red. Because of the beautiful terrain, people often practice here with spiritual pets. The Suyin family built several courtyards on the mountainside several generations ago, and the successive generations of family owners have continued to repair and preserve them to this day.
In the allocation of accommodation, there was a bit of a mess, every time I came in the past, Mrs. Su lived in one by herself, Su Yu and Ankang lived in one, Lan Ji and her daughter were crowded, Su Jinyao took one or two little sisters from the side branches to live, and the room was just right.
But this year's atmosphere is weird, Su Yu definitely refuses to live with Princess Ankang again, but the queen has just reprimanded, and it is not appropriate to blatantly live with Jiayin, Su Jinyao is depressed and has no heart to take care of others, so if she tosses it, the room will not be enough.
The housekeeper summed up for a long time, and then asked what Su Yu meant, walked up to Chu Ning and said: "Miss Chu Ning, the room here is really not enough, I just sent someone to check it according to the map, and then go to the top of the mountain, there is a courtyard, which was also prepared by our family in the past, but it has not been used for a long time, I have already asked someone to go over and clean it immediately, can you wronged Miss Chu Ning, your mother and daughter live in the courtyard above." ”
Before Chu Ning could answer, the steward groaned for a while, and then said, "I'm afraid Mrs. Jiayin will have to go up too, I really can't live here." ”
Chu Ning squinted slightly, this arrangement is a bit strange, the courtyard above is more remote, it is said that a few people from the younger generation should be selected to live, Su Tianxin and Jiayin should not move at will, this steward is also an old man in the family, and he should not make such an obvious mistake. But he said it very politely, he gave enough face, in front of so many people, Chu Ning couldn't refuse, so he had to respond, asked someone to take something, and sent Su Tianxin and Jiayin up.
The courtyard above is very spacious, and it has just been cleaned up and replenished, but it is also neat and comfortable. The servants put their things back in their places, Chu Ning turned around back and forth, raised his hand and pointed to the two main rooms with the best sunlight, for Su Tianxin and Jiayin to live in, and choose a quieter wing room for themselves.
When the illusion in the palace of the Queen Mother broke, Ming Instant also found an opportunity to come out, and familiarly touched Chu Ning's side. It's just that in the few days when he lived in Ji Chongguang's mansion, Ji Chongguang, who had a black heart and black lungs, added a barrier outside the room to prevent this greedy bird from coming in and making trouble.
When the idlers and others had retreated, the thief leaned over and squeezed out a flattering smile on the bird's face: "That...... You stayed in his house for days, did you have ...... Ha ha...... At night, the lonely man and widow ......"
Chu Ning picked up the new window screen that had not had time to be properly placed, and waved it like a fly: "I packed a big box of snacks for you, and I can't stop your mouth?" She vaguely knew what she was going to ask in the moment, and her face was hot, but it was strange that she was in a good mood and not angry at all.
"Don't be rough, I mean," Mingxian expertly slid an arc to dodge the moment, "That...... I don't know if you've heard of it, a woman who practices the magic of the spirit can't easily use the magic while pregnant, otherwise it's easy to go retrograde with blood and two lives, shouldn't you think about it before ......?"
Well? Chu Ning was stunned, he had never heard of this matter. Originally, this was not a secret, and those who practiced the spirit control method since childhood would know that when the Spirit Bird Terrace was practicing, an old scholar also mentioned it. It's just that Chu Ning has never learned these things seriously, and because of his young age, he has never considered marriage, so naturally he will not pay attention to this matter.
She wasn't worried about her situation, she just suddenly remembered that when Su Tianxin went to the capital of the Son of Heaven to preside over the sacrifice, she should have known this taboo, but she still brought it back to herself, was she willing to sacrifice herself out of love, or was she forcibly forced to do so?
I slept very peacefully this night, without Yuan Luzhu, Chu Ning would no longer be able to communicate with Ji Chongguang's five senses, and naturally no one would suddenly let Yuan Luzhu rush up, coldly reprimanding "so stupid" or "It's not enough to die".
Chu Ning once asked, the Yuan Ling Bead didn't know where it fell, would there be a problem, Ji Chongguang only said that it didn't matter if it was lost, he could condense it again, but he didn't know if it was really the case or deliberately comforting her.
In the middle of the night, Chu Ning turned over in a daze, and saw a person sitting at the window, his sleeves hanging to the ground, and his slender figure was cut into a graceful silhouette by the moonlight. Chu Ning recognized it at a glance that it was Ji Chongguang, and at this time, he didn't have the idea of quickly finding a crack in the wall to slip away when he saw him before, but was full of joy. The early autumn is slightly cool, the night breeze is blowing, the moon is clear, the insects are chirping, everything is beautiful.
"What are you sitting there for?" Chu Ning asked with a slight smile, and his voice seemed to be disgusted and happy.
"I want to see you." Ji Chongguang replied dryly.
Rigorous and studious, if he really took the puzzled questions in his heart to ask Jun Wang, the girl cried for a while and laughed for a while, and kicked her legs and picked up her clothes if she didn't agree with each other, how to deal with it. Jun Wang held back a wicked smile and explained seriously, observing people's hearts is a compulsory course for people in high positions, since sooner or later one day they will return to the country and seize the throne, it is better to start by overcoming the problem in front of them, and try to figure out what she thinks.
Ji Chongguang felt that it made sense, and he didn't even feel disgusted to look at her again, so he came straight and jumped out of the girl's window.
"After that, can I go?" Chu Ning bit her lip and covered her head with the quilt.
Ji Chongguang jumped down, grabbed Chu Ning's hand, and pulled her up. He didn't say anything, just ran out of the house with her in a tough and domineering manner, and the moon in the mountains was extraordinarily large, hanging in the air like a smiling face.
In the mountains and forests at night, you can see many things that you can't see during the day, such as mice covered with thorns, which can be brought up by rolling on the ground, such as strange birds hanging upside down on branches and eyes like green lanterns, specializing in preying on the kind of thorny mice. Two people who were previously closed in their own side of the world just held each other's hands and walked into a new and unknown darkness.
After only a few steps, Chu Ning stopped, raised his toes lightly and pouted. She had no shoes on her feet, so she was pulled out like this, and her young white feet, like freshly peeled water chestnuts, could not stand the roughness of the wilderness, and were scratched by the dead branches with a few bloody marks.
Ji Chongguang squatted down, and suddenly stretched out a palm, wrapping her small foot entirely.
Chu Ning couldn't stand the pain or itch, and the thin calluses on the palm of his hand touched the toes, which was especially itchy. She leaned on top of Ji Chongguang, holding his shoulder and giggling. Ji Chongguang simply stood up and picked her up, and Chu Ning curled up into a small ball and nestled in his chest.
The two walked aimlessly, no one spoke, Chu Ning looked up and watched the stars in the sky move with the footsteps of the people beside him, he didn't know how far he walked, and suddenly heard the sound of someone moving things.
Deep in the woods, someone was unloading wooden boxes from the wagon, taking out the powdery contents and carefully spilling them on the ground.
After throwing a circle at random, the people walked along the clearing between the trees to the place where the three of them lived in Chu Ning, and they were still dumping the contents of the box along the way.
