The earl's anniversary festival, Shuning's biggest feeling is tired. On that one, she followed the others back and forth to kneel, kowtow, get up, kneel, kowtow, get up, and the rest of the time she stood all the time. When the ceremony was over, she returned to the backyard where the sisters were resting, and she almost felt that the legs were not her own.

This room is a wing room next to Rongqing Hall, which is dedicated to the rest of the young ladies, in addition to Fang Ning Wanning Shuning and Yuan Ning who came with her parents and brothers, there are also Su Su and Yan Ning in the fourth room.

Yuan Ning and Su Su seem to have had a good relationship since childhood, and as soon as they entered the house, they held hands and talked non-stop on the side. Wan Ning sat listlessly alone, pounding her knees constantly, and Shu Ning looked over and felt that she was even paler than when they met two days ago.

In the past two days, she has also visited her two cousins in the courtyard of the big house, but she has not seen Wanning, according to the maids, she said that she was sick, but there was not even a trace of medicine inside and outside her small courtyard, and some mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were whispering, it seems that the Nala clan has been very strict with Wanning recently, and even the ring ruler has moved.

Frangipani heard some rumors that on the third day after they returned from the Fucha house last time, the wife of the Wu Ya family had come to the Earl's Palace, and had a secret conversation with the Nala clan for half an hour before leaving. Then Nala strictly ordered her daughter to stay in the courtyard and not to leave the hospital without her permission. Shuning wondered, did the mother of the treasure key tell the eldest aunt about Wanning's investigation of Concubine De, and the eldest aunt would use the thunder method?

Just as he was thinking wildly, the curtain of the door was lifted, and Chunyan walked in. After whispering beside Fang Ning, Fang Ning's face was a little uncomfortable, and he said in a deep voice: "I won't go." Chunyan anxiously whispered a few words to persuade her, but seeing that she still shook her head, and said something in her ear, Fang Ning bit her lip. Didn't speak.

Shuning looked strange, so she asked her what was wrong, Fang Ning hesitated, and reluctantly smiled: "It's nothing, my aunt has something to say to me, I'll go out and come back soon." Then he followed Chunyan away. Although Shuning was puzzled, she didn't think much about it. Her attention was quickly attracted by the inhalation of the fifth sister Yanning.

Yan Ning is three years old this year, and she used to have tits around her, but now the woman has gone, she sits alone on a big chair and rubs her knees, inhaling while rubbing. Shuning looked at the painful look on her cute little face, and felt pity, so she went over to help her rub it. After a while, Yan Ning felt better, raised her little face and said to Shu Ning, "Thank you, third sister, I'm already fine." He also smiled shyly. Shuning touched her head. I shouted in my heart: It's so cute~

Fang Ning came back, and her face was a little uglier than just now. Shuning quietly asked her what happened, she just shook her head, touched Yanning's head, and didn't say anything.

Yuan Ning was chatting with her cousin Su Suzheng, and heard her mention that Wan Ning promised to get some flowers and skin care products to help her remove the scar on her nose. He scoffed: "Where did the layman come from?" To say such a thing. It's a scar on my cousin's face, it's not a spot, how can it be removed with that kind of thing? If the eggs on the face become whiter and whiter, but the scars have not disappeared at all, wouldn't it become more and more conspicuous? After that, he glanced at Wan Ning contemptuously. Wan Ning glared angrily.

When she heard this, she was so anxious: "Can't you get rid of it?" So what to do? My mother also said that the things in your shop are good, and I bought a lot of them and came back to try them, what should I do now? "I thought there was a way to solve it, but now my hope has failed. She couldn't help but cry.

Yuan Ning was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I just said that those flowers and water can't be removed, and I didn't say that other things can't be removed." Several recipes in Caifang were come up with by an old lady doctor. He is the best at women's faces, I will take you to him tomorrow, and I will take care of it for a few days. She glanced at Wan Ning again and added: "That's a real imperial doctor, unlike those laymen who have half a bucket of water, who can coax people." ”

Wan Ning was furious, stood up suddenly, and stared at Yuan Ning. Yuan Ning raised her eyebrows and was waiting to be recruited, but unexpectedly, Wan Ning just stared at her a few times, gritted her teeth, and sat back, without speaking, just turned around and ignored her. Yuan Ning was surprised, but after thinking about it, she thought that Wan Ning was afraid of herself, so she snorted triumphantly and continued to talk to Su Su.

Shu Ning felt a little surprised, it seems that the eldest aunt's discipline of Wan Ning seems to be very effective.

The p between Wan Ning and Yuan Ning didn't happen, so there was harmony in the house, but this harmony was quickly broken, and Aunt Tatara suddenly walked in and was about to say something to her daughter, but she saw Yuan Ning on the side. Looking at the extremely delicate beaded flowers on Yuan Ning's hair and the intricate embroidery on her plain robe, she exploded.

"What's the matter with your mother? Like a nouveau riche who has never seen silver, he has two coins in his pocket, so he has to wear a head full of jewelry and a whole body of silk and satin to show off?! Even if she was embarrassed herself, she also dragged her daughter into the water? What do you think you're wearing? What is it on the head? Do you still have your grandfather in your eyes? And your grandmother? Do you remember that you were keeping filial piety?!!! ”

The Shuning sisters all stood up as soon as they entered the door, and now they were all startled by her. Yuan Ning was even more at a loss, at first she listened to the reprimand honestly, but after hearing it, she couldn't help it: "What does aunt mean by this?" Although my mother and I are dressed solemnly, but we have not broken the rules, the clothes are only plain, my mother's jewelry is silver, if we wear embroidered clothes and jewelry, how many sisters are not like this? She glanced up at the room, then lowered her head and said, "The second sister also has embroidery on her clothes, and the third sister also has beaded flowers." ”

Wan Ning froze, looked at the row of light green leaves embroidered on the hem of her clothes, and shrank back uncomfortably. Shuning could only bite the bullet to meet her aunt's gaze. She only inserted a pair of pearl hairpins in her hair, which was originally used to fix her hair bun, but a small pearl was embedded in the lotus holder of the silver and gold hairpins, and when she combed her hair in the morning, she found it out and inserted it into her hair. Because it was very inconspicuous, and the golden part was also hidden in her hairline, she didn't excuse herself, but she didn't expect to be pointed out by Yuan Ning now. I wonder if my aunt will scold her for this?

But he just glanced at her and Wan Ning lightly. sneered: "Your mother is sharp-toothed, it seems that you are not honest." Is the girl embroidered on the ground? It's just a leaf edge. The lady wears a single bead on her head, how many beads do you wear? More than thirty or forty! Dressed up like this, who are you going to seduce? The elders discipline you, and you still dare to talk back?! Whose rule is this?!!! ”

Yuan Ning's eyes were red and her mouth was flattened. Ran out. He Tara was still scolding: "Ju."

I ran away without saying a word, what a little hoof without a tutor!! In the future, it will be a broken goods!! ”

She took a few breaths of air before she calmed down and said to her daughter lovingly, "Did she bully you just now?" You don't have to have much contact with her like that, so as not to be spoiled by her. Biting her lip, she walked over to her mother and whispered a few words, a look of astonishment flashed across her face. Then he was a little annoyed, but quickly softened his face: "What are you afraid of?" That's the imperial doctor, not his local slave, let's let people inquire and go directly to the door to seek medical treatment. You Ama is about to be promoted to the third grade, does a little imperial doctor dare not give face? ”

She pulled her daughter to sit down, and asked carefully if she was tired from the ceremony, if there was any pain or something.

—

The Shuning sisters stood awkwardly for a while, and when they saw that he had no intention of admonishing him, they sat down hesitantly. Fang Ning walked to the window and looked out. frowned and came back and whispered to Shuning: "The fourth sister seems to have gone to find the second aunt, when I came back just now, I saw that the second aunt and the aunt seemed to have some quarrels, the fourth sister is gone, will the second aunt come over to make trouble?" ”

Shuning was a thriller and was reminded by her. Suo Xue Luo's character. He will never swallow his anger, and he will definitely not let him go like this. But if she just quarrels with her sister-in-law, what if she quarrels and involves a few of their sisters? Fang Cai Yuanning regarded himself and Wanning as examples of refutation, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case......

She hurriedly pulled Wan Ning over and said in a low voice, "Second sister, do you have any other plain clothes to change?" Shall we go back to the house and change out of our clothes and headdress? If the second aunt comes over and quarrels with the aunt, it won't be good to pull out the two of us. ”

Wan Ning hesitated a little: "Won't it?" Just now, my aunt also said that it was just a border. And I only made this one white ground spring dress, and the previous ones didn't fit anymore. ”

"Didn't I see you wear white last time?"

"That is a winter dress, isn't it hot to wear that now?"

"Always find a way to cover up the past." Shu Ning said, "My aunt just used the fourth sister to scold the second aunt. That's why it doesn't matter what we wear. But the second aunt's temperament is not faulty and has to find faults, let's change it, lest things come out and the faces of the girls are not good-looking. ”

Wan Ning gave a cold war, and hurriedly said: "Then change it, the white one has been received in the box, and I will immediately ask Yahuan to find it." Fang Ning interjected: "There is still half an hour before the banquet starts, it's too late to find it now, right?" Shuning thought about it and thought about it: "I have a way, go to my room first." ”

The three of them got up, handed Yan Ning to the tits who had just shrunk at the door and didn't dare to come in, and then found an excuse to confess to him and retreat, he waved his hand absently, and the three of them left immediately.

When he returned to Huaiyuan, Shuning asked someone to take a sewing box, and then quickly took off the beaded hairpin on his head, put it into the dressing box, squinted his eyes, and picked up two very small white velvet flowers, and put them on the position where the hairpin was inserted.

She had already figured out how to deal with the embroidered edges on Wanning's clothes, as long as she folded the part of the embroidered leaves inward, and then sewed it tightly with white thread, there was only a strip of 5200 light green satin trim left on the clothes, and no one else could find any major faults. After quickly putting on the silk thread, she said to Wan Ning, "Sister, take off your clothes." ”

Wan Ning hurriedly said: "Time is urgent, let's sew it like this." Fang Ning looked at her disapprovingly: "Second sister, there is no needle and thread on the body of the living." Take it off. Wan Ning couldn't, so she hurriedly took off her coat, and then watched Shu Ning and Fang Ning sew the edges quickly, and after only a quarter of an hour, they hid the front and back hems of the clothes and the leaf embroidery edges on the two sleeves.

Wan Ning sighed: "It's really amazing, it's sewn so quickly." Shuning said lightly: "The second sister is cooked, and it will be so fast." Wan Ning touched her nose wryly.

Frangipani had already found a flat-bottomed glass dish for the fruit, boiled hot water, and when she saw that they had cut the thread, she poured hot water into the plate, and put the plate on the edge of the seam and flattened it. After ironing back and forth a few times, the edge of the garment became flat and neat, only half an inch shorter than the original, and if you don't look closely, you can't see that you have done anything at all. Wan Ning was dumbfounded.

After finishing the work, put a set of clothes on Wanning, and someone came to urge their sisters to come to the front for dinner. The three sisters checked each other. Make sure it's okay before going out together. Wanning quietly asked Shuning on the road: "Why don't you just take off the hairpin?" What do you do with that velvet flower? Shuning smiled and didn't answer.

The first half of the feast had been peaceful, and Suo Xue Luo only had a few eye stabs with him, but nothing happened. Yuan Ning sat with her mother, just glancing at the sisters from a distance. The headdresses of the two of them have been reduced a lot, Suo Xue Luo only left a few hairpins, and Yuan Ning was wearing a velvet flower, but unfortunately the clothes could not be changed.

By the time the outsiders were almost gone. Only the relatives of his own clan were present, so Suo Yuluo took his daughter and walked to the aunt and the eighth aunt of the same clan who were sitting at the top, and he didn't know what to say, he looked aggrieved, and from time to time he glanced at the Tala clan and the Nala clan and the clan. Yuan Ning cooperated and choked up a few times.

Shu Ning said "here" in her heart, and glanced at Fang Ning and Wan Ning.

Sure enough, when the two elders heard Suo Xue Luo's words, they frowned, and then called him over and asked her if she had said anything inappropriate to her niece and daughter. He Tala knew it was not good when he saw Suo Xue Luo speak, and he said what she said. It's really too much, if she really wants to make trouble, it's all her fault, so she didn't shirk it, she simply confessed it, and reluctantly accompanied Suo Xue Luo's guilt. But he immediately accused Suo Yuluo's mother and daughter of dressing too gorgeously and disrespectfully to their ancestors.

Suo Yuluo was triumphant at first, but when he heard his sister-in-law's accusation, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Mrs. Gu, you can't say that, my daughter and I are just dressed up decently, where is it too gorgeous?" If that's gorgeous, what do other people say? She glanced triumphantly at Nala and Clan. Said: "The second girl has embroidery on her clothes, and the third girl is still wearing a golden bead hairpin, why don't you say they?" ”

After she finished speaking, it was not enough, and she helped her aunt to walk to the seats where several nieces and nephews were sitting. Shuning and the others stood up. A hint of gloom flashed in Wan Ning's eyes.

Suo Xue Luo smiled and said to the aunt: "Auntie, look at it, the aunt is very biased, and she bullies my daughter to be honest, look at the ...... on this dress" She was stunned at Wan Ning's sleeve, and quickly pulled the other sleeve, and looked at Wan Ning's clothes again.

"What's wrong with this dress?" Auntie asked. Wan Ning flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly: "

…… I...... I shouldn't wear trimmed clothes......" "Nonsense, our family, what's wrong with trimming clothes?" The aunt glanced at Suo Xue Luo with dissatisfaction, "Look what you scared the child into." ”

Suo Xue Luo was unwilling, and pointed at Shuning again: "And this!" She wears a golden hairpin, which my daughter saw with her own eyes! But there are only two small white velvet flowers on Shuning's head, not to mention gold, not even copper, and some are just two thin wooden sticks. Shuning made a well-behaved appearance, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. After Suo Yuluo was surprised, he also came to his senses: "I know, you have changed your clothes and jewelry, but you deliberately didn't say it!" ”

Wan Ning said softly: "Second aunt, we have always been wearing this." The aunt also nodded: "I remember, I saw it from a distance before, and the clothes and hair accessories of the lady have never been changed." ”

Suo Yuluo couldn't refute, so he had to get angry at his two nieces: "Okay, you guys deliberately want me to make a fool of myself, don't you?" She turned to look at him: "I wonder why you are so happy to accompany you, dare to dig a pit here and wait for me to jump down?" I'll tell you......"

"Enough, Brother Xing's daughter-in-law!" The eighth aunt interrupted her sharply, "You can stop a little, and look at this in your own house?" Do you think that if you have a knight in your family and a man is an official, you can be powerful here? Who is not here to command? Your three gt~ levels are still higher than you! ”

The aunt also looked at her with reproachful eyes, and said: "It's your business why you don't get along with your sister-in-law and sister-in-law, but you shouldn't pull the children in. Look, that's the daughter of the blessed girl, isn't it? She pointed at Susu, who was taken aback, lowered her head, and still covered her nose with a handkerchief.

The aunt looked at her lovingly and said, "Poor one, are you sad for your grandfather's affairs?" From now on, I cried silently with my veil in my handkerchief. The eyes are swollen. Good boy, don't be sad, your grandfather Quanxia will be very relieved to know that you are so filial. ”

Su Su was even more embarrassed, but she couldn't say that she wasn't crying when she was holding the handkerchief, her eyes were swollen because she thought that her scar was not cured after listening to Yuan Ning's words, so she cried like this.

The aunt turned to Suo Xue Luo and said, "Look at it." Even such a young child knows that he must be filial to his ancestors, and a few girls are wronged and don't dare to speak out, but as an elder, not only do you not set a good example for the juniors, but you also make a lot of noise in front of so many relatives. I've always been unpleasant to see what the two of you did before, but I see that you seem to be more sensible. I didn't say anything more, but the way you look now, how can people look at it? ”

The eighth aunt said from a distance: "Jinghui said plainly that people are not, what your mother and daughter are wearing in the morning, everyone can see it, your sister-in-law said that you are too gorgeous, that's the truth!" Do you think that now that you have unloaded, others will not know? ”

Everyone nodded secretly, and Suo Xue Luo listened to the whispers of the people, and his face was red and white for a while. His face was almost crooked.

Nala came over, helped the aunt, and said, "Auntie, go back to your seat, don't be like the second brother and sister, she is confused." If you are angry, how can we afford to be juniors. ”

The two old women returned to their seats. The clan and the Shen clan both held hot soup and hot dishes and waited beside them, coaxing them to smile, where would they pay attention to Suo Xue Luo?

In front of everyone's eyes, Suo Xue Luo was sitting on pins and needles, but he heard Wanning whispering softly on the side: "Why doesn't the second aunt go back to sit?" The feast isn't over yet. She turned her head to look at Wan Ning, and saw that there was a faint smug look between her eyebrows, and she suddenly became angry, and she didn't return to her seat at the moment. Pulled his daughter and left.

After all the visitors had been sent away, and the people in the second room had left with black faces, the Nala clan motioned for everyone to sit down in the Rongqing Hall and asked him carefully about the ins and outs of the matter of the Nala clan.

After he finished speaking, he said, "I was reckless in this matter. Because I couldn't get used to the smug appearance of my second sister-in-law, I couldn't help but say a few words, but saying that to the girl like that was too much after all. Thanks to the cleverness of the nieces and nephews, otherwise they would have to affect their sister-in-law and younger siblings. ”

Nala smiled slightly, and looked at Wan Ning with two eyes: "Where did you get your clothes?" How do you look the same as what you wear in the morning? Wan Ning hurriedly said: "It's the same thing, it's the third sister who thought of it, and she sewed it for me with the eldest sister." She stretched out her sleeves to show her mother, and then she understood, so she said to Shuning: "Thanks to the three girls' quick wisdom, the eldest aunt really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Shuning hurriedly gave a salute and said, "It's not the credit of my niece, it's the eldest sister who reminded me and sewed clothes with me." The second sister also cooperated very well. The niece didn't dare to take credit. ”

Nala said: "You sisters have done a good job today, and you must be careful in the future, and no one can grasp the handle again." The three sisters saluted in unison and answered with a "yes".

He Tara smiled and said to his sister-in-law: "I see that Fang Yatou has also grown, and Wan Yatou is clever and clever, and the eldest sister-in-law is really blessed." Nala just smiled, but his eyes softened a lot when he looked at Fang Ning Wanning.

Shuning followed her mother back to Huaiyuan, and then told her about the little calculation in her heart, and she couldn't help but laugh and nodded her head: "I also think why didn't you pick the hairpin directly, it turned out that it was intentional, get a similar velvet flower on it, and wait for your second aunt to jump into the pit." ”

Shuning pursed her lips and smiled: "E-niang wronged me, I was just afraid that my head would not look good, so I put the flower hairpin on it, it was really not intentional." Shi couldn't help but laugh, and tapped her head again.

Since this incident, others have been down, but Fang Ning's life seems to be much better than before, and the Nala clan has become more and more kind to her, and often sends things to Aunt Chen. Fang Ning herself is still living the same life as before, copying scriptures and reciting Buddha, doing needlework to meet her sisters, but Aunt Chen is very happy and feels that her good days are coming.

The night before Shuning was ready to go back to Fangshan, she finished a purse that Fang Ning had entrusted her to make, and thought about sending it to Fang Ning first, so as not to be in a hurry tomorrow.

She walked into the bamboo courtyard, and did not call anyone, and walked directly to Fang Ning's room, and when she approached Fang Ning, she heard a cry coldly: "If you don't agree, I will die to show you!! ”

Shuning was shocked.
