Ninety-seven, follow-up

Yuan Ning raised her eyebrows: "Yo, she actually became a royal daughter-in-law, so we will all call her a blessing in the future, right?" ”

Wan Ning said coldly: "It's just a Gege, what is it called Fujin?" She is not afraid of others laughing at her, she doesn't know how thick the sky is. ”

Yuan Ning chuckled lightly and said, "Second sister, why do I feel so sour when I hear this?" ”

Wan Ning lowered her head and copied the Buddhist scriptures, ignoring her no more. Yuan Ning felt bored, and also shut up Shu Ning's hand was writing, but there were some doubts in her heart. Even if the opponent became Sisi's concubine, why did Wan Ning care so much? She is a popular candidate for the fifth fortune, is it possible, she is also interested in Sisi? No way? Does she really want to learn to wear the heroine enough, and must have emotional entanglements with the fourth child? Or is she just not angry that people she doesn't like marry into the royal family before her?

After less than two quarters of an hour, Wan Ning said that she was going to see the old lady and left the water pavilion.

The other three sisters copied for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, they packed up their things and prepared to go back to their respective rooms. Shu Ning thumped her shoulders and arms, and suddenly remembered something, so she asked, "After a hundred days, will we continue to take talent classes?" Why haven't you seen Mr. Cai all the time? ”

Fang Ning shook her head and said she didn't know, and walked away. Yuan Ning said: "It shouldn't be on it." Mr. Cai has been dismissed since my second sister and I left Beijing, and the government has not hired anyone again. I only heard that when the second sister was in Baoding, the eldest aunt had invited a husband to teach her there. How? The third sister wants to learn? ”

Shuning nodded: "I also learned it when I was in Guangzhou, but I haven't practiced since I came back, I'm afraid it will be wasted." I wonder where Mr. Cai is now? Can you ask him to come back and teach? ”

Yuan Ning smiled lowly, and when she saw Shu Ning's puzzled look, she stopped laughing and told her, "Third sister." Why did Song Zhicao disagree with her second sister? After Mr. Cai resigned, it was the Song family who invited him to teach his daughter qinqi, calligraphy and painting. He never forgot the student of his second sister all day long. Words must be called Wanning, sighing every day. Who can stand it? After only a year, he was fired. Later, when the second sister returned to Beijing, when Song Zhicao saw her, she was angry, and she always loved to get along with her. She thought for a moment. I couldn't help but laugh again: "Speaking of which, there is a joke." Once everyone was chatting in one place, talking about the poetry of the ancients, the second sister actually said that "Near Wine" is the masterpiece of the poet fairy Li Bai, isn't that laughing off people's big teeth? Who doesn't know that it's the poetry of the silver flute show talent Xiao Yun Jiandi? Song Zhicao laughed at her, she didn't know this kind of thing and dared to call herself a talented woman, so she laughed with several daughters at that time. The second sister has no face, and every time she sees her, she doesn't have a good face. It was not easy to suppress that matter, otherwise the second sister would have become a joke in Beijing. ”

Shuning Khan. If you change yourself, I'm afraid you will reflexively say that it is Li Bai's poem, right? She couldn't help but feel that Wan Ning was a little pitiful, traveling to this specious Qing Dynasty world. In fact, risks exist everywhere.

She secretly made a decision that she would never talk to anyone about poetry and songs! Even the stories of historical figures should be told as little as possible!

Return to Huaiyuan. When Tong saw his daughter, he said, "You, Amma, have come to the front to receive the guests who came to congratulate our family on being enthroned." At noon, we ate by ourselves in the room, and I asked someone to make sour soup. Eat more. Shuning responded, remembering that she had heard about the local affairs in the morning, so she said to her mother: "The second sister inquired about the news of this year's draft, and I heard that Miss Song was pointed out to the fourth elder brother, but it was just Gege. Tong Shi was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Oh, is the fourth elder brother already at this age?" I actually forgot. She was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stood up: "This is a happy event, I want to send some congratulatory gifts." Doctor Chen has prescribed a few prescriptions to replenish the body, what about Changfu? You have to get someone to send it quickly. There is also the silk brought back from Guangdong, we don't need it now, it's a pity to put it in vain, just send two boxes over, and jewelry, the newcomer should also have some head jewelry, by the way, those big rubies......"

Shuning was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stopped her: "Eniang, calm down!" She pressed her mother back into the chair and said, "These things will be prepared by the palace and the internal affairs office, you just need to show a little heart, such fanfare, for fear that others will not know?" ”

Only then did Tong calm down, looked at his daughter and smiled embarrassedly: "E-niang is so happy, a little out of shape." You are right, our family is still keeping filial piety, and we don't have to rush to other people's happy events. Forget it, just send some clothes and a few ornaments, plus a few medicinal materials, and send them to Pumpkin Hutong, so as not to let outsiders know. ”

Shuning breathed a sigh of relief, but after only a while, Tong thought about it and couldn't sit still: "We seem to have two good Doro, let's just send them over, and before we have eaten, I will ask someone to open a small warehouse to get them." Second sister-in-law? Second sister-in-law? Then he walked away.

Defeated by her!

Shuning looked at the ceiling speechlessly, it is already like this now, and when her brother marries a wife in the future, I don't know what will become of my mother? I was the dividing line in the afternoon two days later

Zhang Bao was sweating profusely, slowly paced into the Huaiyuan, and fell on the recliner with a tired face. Shuning hurriedly put down the needle money in her hand, handed her father a handkerchief, and poured tea for him to drink.

Tong Shi played a fan for him, and said with some distress: "Why haven't people stopped?" Our family doesn't plan to make a big splash, it's still in filial piety. ”

Zhang Bao drank a cup of tea in one go, handed the cup back to his daughter, and said: "After all, it is a rare glory, although we are not good at publicity, the few houses that we have befriended must always be interesting." The trouble is those who can't touch the edge of the real magnates, and there are also petty officials waiting in the capital to wait for the vacancy, taking the opportunity to cling. I had no choice but to socialize, how could I really give them any benefits? ”

Tong complained a little: "The eldest brother and the fourth brother just want to go on a business trip, and the second brother stays at home all day long, and he doesn't help to say hello, so that you are busy from morning to night alone, but he goes away by himself." How can there be such brothers? Zhang Bao smiled bitterly: "He is not happy in his heart, others came to congratulate, didn't they sprinkle salt on his wounds?" Never mind. That is, a matter of a few days. I'll work hard for a while. ”

Shuning poured another cup of tea and held it to her father, and Zhang Bao touched her head. took the tea, took a sip, and then said, "Master Chen Liangben came here in the morning and said something to me. ”

Shuning froze, busy listening to what was going on. Tong asked, "What are the words?" Is he not very happy with your resignation? ”

Zhang Bao shook his head and said, "Lord Chen is really a very tolerant person. Not only was he not angry. And very considerate of me. It turned out that there were his former classmates among the officials of Guangzhou Prefecture, and they told him everything about that side. He said, I resigned like this, it's a pity. Since he is a useful person, he should do more practical things for the people of the court. However, my father was newly mourned and my mother was bedridden, so she should stay at home to take care of her. Therefore, he confessed to the local people of the Ministry of Officials, recording that I was worried about Ding rather than resigning. After a while, the family will settle down. He'll get me another good job. If you are worried about the party struggle in the court, you can find a position with fewer entanglements. ”

"Lord Chen is very good at being a man." Shuning thought secretly.

Tong Shi also sighed after hearing this: "If he has such good intentions, if you refuse." It's too ignorant. Zhang Bao said helplessly: "Isn't it?" I was so ashamed. Although I didn't promise him explicitly, if he really got an errand for me in the future. I'm not good at pushing. ”

Tong smiled: "If it's really a good errand with no entanglement." You just have to take it, don't waste a piece of kindness from others. ”

Zhang Bao nodded slightly. At this time, Changgui came to report and said: "Master, there are a few more adults, look ......?"

Goddess Steroid Burning Text

Zhang Bao sighed and went with a wry smile.

The next day, Shuning continued to go to the Water Pavilion to copy Buddhist scriptures, but found that Wanning frequently looked at herself, wanting to speak and stopping. She felt strange in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, only pretending not to notice the other party's abnormality.

Sure enough, after less than half an hour, Wan Ning couldn't help it, and quietly asked, "I heard that Lord Chen Liangben came to our house yesterday to look for the third uncle, is it true?" ”

It turned out to be this thing. Shuning said quietly: "There is indeed such a thing in the land, they have known it before, and there are many people who have come to the door these days, Lord Chen is just a scene, why does the second sister ask this?" ”

Wan Ning didn't answer, and said after a while: "I think he is a ...... His character is not very good, so it is better for you to have less contact with him. ”

Shuning raised her eyebrows: "Bad character?" Why did the second sister say this? Even the emperor said that Lord Chen was a direct minister and a pure minister. Could it be that the second sister still holds a grudge against the events of the past? ”

"No, no, how could it be? I've long forgotten about that. Wan Ning hurriedly said, "I just heard that he was acting a little insidious, and I was afraid that the third uncle would suffer a loss if he had more dealings with him, so I just said this." ”

He's a little sinister, but it's just for you. As for her father, he didn't have this honor.

Shuning smiled: "Thank you sister for reminding me, but I don't understand anything about these adults outside, and it's not easy to care." ”

She continued to copy the scriptures, and Wan Ning didn't want to say anything more, so she rolled her eyes at Yuan Ning's sneer next to her, and then turned her attention back to the copying work.

But the calm only lasted for a moment, and a little girl hurriedly broke into the water pavilion, and said to Wan Ning in a panic: "Second girl, hurry up, there is a commotion in the main courtyard, and the old lady is angry." ”

Wan Ning hurriedly asked what was going on, but the little girl only said the words "Second Lady ......", and when she caught a glimpse of Yuan Ning's presence, she stopped talking. Yuan Ning's face changed, Wan Ning only glanced at her, and said, "Let's do it." "And then just go first.

Shuning and Fang Ning glanced at each other and followed. Yuan Ning's face turned blue and red for a while, and she stomped her feet and chased after her.

When I came to the main courtyard, there was a lot of commotion in the house, and the courtyard was full of people, including the master of the family and the maid and the maid. Shu Ning saw that Su Yun and several other aunts and aunts were all close to each other, and knew that Tong and other concubines were in the room at the moment. I could only hear the old lady in the room scolding: "I'm not dead yet!" How lawless you dare to step on my head one by one! You can't wait for me to kick my feet and go with the old man, don't you? I tell you, bastards, don't dream about it! As long as I'm in the house for a day, I'll still have the final say in this house! You unfilial sons, just a few days after your Ama died, you bullied your mother? You are worthy of your Amma. Are you worthy of your ancestors and ancestors?! ”

She continued to curse loudly, and then she vaguely heard Suo Xue Luo whispering something, and she scolded even louder. He coughed heavily.

Wan Ning heard it and hurriedly rushed into the house. Grandmother was coaxed softly. Li, who was standing under the porch, turned around, saw that several of their sisters were there, frowned, and heard the old lady in the room cough and continued to scold, so he walked over gently. made a gesture and took them out of the courtyard, and then said: "The old lady has been sick for a long time, and her anger is naturally bigger, so you should not have heard those words, and when you go back, you must restrain the people below, and don't let them chew the root of their tongues, you know?" Seeing that Shuning and the others nodded, he said lightly: "It's all gone." Then he went back to the courtyard and continued to stand.

Shuning returned to Huaiyuan. After thinking about it, I started to do needlework. When it was time for lunch, Tong returned. She looked indifferent. was just a little tired, and the second sister-in-law hurriedly followed. He asked Su Yun again: "Is my wife angry?" Tong waved his hand. Let Shuning and everyone retreat, leaving only the second sister-in-law. After talking for a while, he ate half a bowl of rice and went out with Su Yun and a few maids.

Shuning was a little curious, so she quietly asked the second sister-in-law what was going on. The second sister-in-law said in embarrassment: "Girl, it's not that the second sister-in-law intends to hide it from you, these things are really not what your girl's family should know." Don't ask me. Shuning raised her eyebrows, and she didn't force it.

But she had other ways to get the news. In the past, in the Earl's Court, she wanted to know any gossip, except from her mother and brother, she could only ask the second sister-in-law or Qiaoyun. Su Yun is a solid person and doesn't like to spread gossip, and Qiaoyun is now waiting to give birth at home, and the second sister-in-law refuses to say, so she has to use her newly established intelligence network.

She went back to her room, called Frangipani, and gave such and such an order, and Frangipani would take the order willingly.

This little girl who was left by her side because of her cleverness, the family has been in service in the earl's palace for generations, coupled with the high-yield characteristics in the genes, each generation has given birth to many children, and these children are basically mediocre in appearance and intelligence, therefore, she will not become a concubine because she looks too good, nor will she become a manager because she is too talented, and she has always stayed in the middle and lower classes of the servant society. Not only were they related to other servant families, but they were also found all over the house. The people in the house may be wary of her family because the second sister-in-law is a confidant of the Tong family, or they may treat their family as the old lady's side because Wang Ruibao is the son of Mama Wang, but when they gossip about the master's family in private, they will not be wary of a family member guarding the second door, the mother-in-law sweeping the floor under the back porch in the old lady's courtyard, the daughter-in-law washing clothes in the backyard of the second room, or the housekeeper who buys goods.

These inconspicuous little people are always able to access the gossip from all sides. Shuning also discovered this by accident, Su Xin is still young and has no training, so she can't really play the role of this family network, but just ask about what happened in the old lady's house, and there must be no problem.

Sure enough, an hour later, Frangipani had collected information from all sides and came back to her life.

She said: "My second aunt is doing chores in the old lady's house, according to what she said, when the second lady asked the old lady to say goodbye, she seemed to be very angry about the second old lady's title, the old lady just read her two sentences, she said something, since the old lady passed away, the big lady is in the house, the old lady has nothing to do, now the old lady is a knight, the big lady is the housewife, no matter how powerful the old lady is, she can only obediently be at her mercy, and she and the second master, more and more to be overwhelmed, How dare you expect to kiss your mother? ”

Wow, this is the red ground to sow discord! Although the second aunt is scathing, she is not so impotent, it seems that the matter of the knighthood has hit the second house very hard.

Su Xin glanced at Shuning cautiously and said, "The second wife is really bold enough to say this, everyone in the house is gossiping, saying that the second master will split up sooner or later." ”

It's true that they're bold enough, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with their three rooms. Shuning thought for a while and said to Su Xin: "Don't tell anyone these words, and don't talk nonsense to your family." How others love is passed on is someone else's business, don't let others hold your handle. "How could Frangipani not understand what she meant? It was done immediately.

Shuning stayed in the room and thought for a while, seeing that her mother had not come back, and worried that she would suffer from the disaster of the pond fish, she was wronged, and she was a little upset for a while, so she simply put out the four treasures of the study room and copied a few pages of Buddhist scriptures to calm her mood.

Approaching evening, there was a sudden commotion outside the hospital, and the second sister-in-law hurriedly called someone to inquire, and before anyone came back to report the news, she saw a maid ring who had gone out with the Tong family rushing into the courtyard and shouting outside the door of Shuning's room: "Girl, something is wrong!" ”
