Shu Ning was a little hesitant in her heart, this Lin Xi usually went out with the fourth elder brother, and listening to what her mother Tong said, the fourth elder brother brought him with him last time he came to Fangshan Courtyard. Seeing him here, does it mean that someone is there?

Just thinking about it, Chunyan suddenly asked the little novice, "Little Master, didn't you just say that pilgrims can only walk around the outskirts of Tallinn?" How can there be anyone over there? The little novice was embarrassed for a while, squeaky and speechless. Chunyan was about to ask again, but Shuning had already spotted that two old monks in robes were accompanying a young man out of the forest and walking towards Lin Xi, so she immediately turned her back and said to Fang Ning: "Big sister, I'm a little tired, this sun monster is sunning, it's better to go back." ”

Fang Ning naturally agreed, and the group returned to the main hall group in front, and the little novice saluted and retired first. Chunyan twisted her handkerchief, followed two steps and whispered: "Two girls, the person I saw in Tallinn just now seems to be a little familiar...... I think it's like the fourth elder brother's guard, and it seems to be the fourth elder brother who came from behind, do you want to ...... Say hello? ”

Shuning stopped and glanced at Chunyan, and the other party immediately lowered his head. She thought for a while and said to Fang Ning: "Big sister, I won't tell you, I did see the fourth elder brother just now, but I thought that now is not when I was a child, we are the daughters of foreign ministers, so we should avoid suspicion, so I want to leave." I didn't discuss it with my sister first, so I ask for your forgiveness. ”

Fang Ning smiled indifferently: "What's this, in fact, I also saw it, and I was about to leave, I don't have those thoughts, the third sister doesn't have to take it to heart." The two looked at each other and smiled. Chunyan bit her lip and didn't say anything more.

He was about to go to the temple where the pilgrims rested. The sisters suddenly heard someone shouting, "Someone has fainted" and "Call someone quickly", and then they saw several monks running to a corner not far ahead. The two sisters glanced at each other and followed to see what was going on. But it was the old woman who had just eaten at the same table fainted beside a tree in the corner of the courtyard, and several monks and little novices were in a hurry beside her. I don't know what to do, a few pilgrims whispered nearby, but no one came forward to check.

Fang Ning whispered: "Since we are destined to eat at the same table, we can't stand idly by. Shuning nodded, and stepped forward to check. Seeing that the old woman's face was red, and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead, and she touched her hand, but it was unusually hot, so I guessed that she was suffering from heat stroke.

Fang Ning and Chunyan worked together to help the old woman to a nearby wing, drove away the idler, opened the tripper button on her neckline, and let her take a breath, and Fang Ning also borrowed a pu fan to fan her. Shuning asked the monks to pour a cup of warm tea. It would be better if there was salt water, and then I went out to find the local family and asked them for some medicinal oil and heat pills. Come back to the wings. After being fed salt water and rubbed with oil, the old woman woke up. Seeing that it was Fang Ning and Shu Ning who saved her. thanked him repeatedly, and Fang Ning was busy with a modest sentence. He also asked her to eat the summer pill that Shuning brought.

At this time, the footsteps of Dengden Dengdi sounded outside, and a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old man broke in, shouting repeatedly: "Eniang, Eniang, are you okay?" And he rushed over. Fang Ning hurriedly got up to avoid it, and Shu Ning saw that the old woman had a son to take care of, so she also said goodbye to her. As she left the room, she heard the man asking his mother with concern and his son's comforting words.

When he came out, he saw Fang Ning standing in a daze, a little gloomy, and when he turned around and saw Shu Ning, he smiled slightly: "Let's go back, okay?" ”

On the road, Fang Ning's mood has been a little low, and Shuning has tried every possible way to lead her to speak, only to know that she just saw that other people's mother-son relationship was harmonious and felt herself, so she smiled and said: "Big sister has been doing well these days, why do you think about it again?" Look at the beautiful scenery of the lush mountains and forests, in such a place, why think about so many troubles? Fang Ning smiled dumbly, and turned to enjoy the scenery beside the road.

Later, the two sisters went to Yunju Temple twice, after all, it was the closest big temple to the other temple, but it was very coincidental that they met the old woman who suffered from heat stroke twice. After talking, they learned that the old woman's surname was Shu, and she was also a person from the capital, although she was born in an official family, but her family was in the middle of the road, fortunately there were some fields and a few houses near Yunju Temple, barely a small village, and there was nothing to do at home in the summer, so she would go to the village to live in the village, so she would visit the temple from time to time.

Fang Ning saw that she was old and not in good health, but she had to be crowded with ordinary pilgrims, so she couldn't bear it, and after discussing with Shu Ning, she invited her to come to the side room she had booked, so as to avoid the scorching sun and have a cup of tea. Mrs. Nashu did not refuse, and after thanking her, she sat down in the room generously.

This Mrs. Shu is very polite in her gestures, and she speaks very neatly, and she has a very good demeanor. When Fang Ning talked to Shuning in private, she felt sorry for the lady's current situation. Shuning thinks that although this Mrs. Shu has simple clothes, the jewelry she wears is not bad, and her family background should be a little rich, but the other party seems to care about Fang Ning very much, not only looking at her from time to time, but also often asking her about her hobbies and other things, which makes people feel a little weird. I'm the dividing line of the transition scene

Since May, the Sanfang family and Fang Ning have not returned to the capital, using the reason of "summer vacation". But there are some things that can't be avoided after all, and that is the old lady's anniversary ceremony.

When Fang Ning left with her uncle and aunt, she was quite reluctant, these two months were really the easiest days in her life, she secretly thought in her heart, I wonder if Eniang is willing to let her live here for a few more days after the sacrifice?

After returning to the Earl's Court, many people were surprised by the change in Fang Ning's appearance and temperament, and the Nala clan was even more happy. When she took her back to her parents' house a few days ago, even her sister-in-law, who was the most picky in etiquette and rules, admitted that Wanning is now worthy of everyone's name. Now even Fang Ning is becoming more and more popular, and she is really very face-saving as a mother. Glad for a moment, Nala asked someone to send Fang Ning a few pieces of clothing with more elegant colors and patterns that were suitable for young girls to wear, and added two sets of silver jewelry. After Fang Ning accepted it, she respectfully kowtowed to her mother-in-law.

Aunt Chen's end. I don't know if it's because she has been separated from her own daughter for a while again, or if she is worried that the main room's attitude towards this daughter has changed, when she saw Fang Ning. The attitude has converged a lot, but he still can't help but shiver about Fang Ning's marriage. Fang Ning's heart knot has been solved for the most part. So I don't care too much about complaining about my biological mother, but if I do it more often, I will miss the quiet days in Fangshan.

After the ceremony, Fang Ning took advantage of the happiness of the Nala clan one day and made a request to stay in Fangshan for a few more days. Nala was unwilling. But thinking that the housework is still heavy, although Wanning has passed the etiquette, she still has to make up for the female celebrity and housework management, and she really has no extra time to take care of Fang Ning, not to mention that Fang Ning has been living well in Fangshan for more than two months, so she reluctantly agreed, but in private, she asked the Tong family a lot, hoping that she would find a way to make Fang Ning a little more "vulgar".

When Fang Ning returned to Zhilan Courtyard again, she only felt relaxed and happy. sat down on the rattan chair and leaned back on the cushion that Shuning specially made for her, so comfortable that she didn't want to stand up.

But when Fang Ning and Shu Ning planned to travel to worship the Buddha again. Things have changed. All along, Shuning accompanied her cousin out at the same time. did not let go of Mr. Cai's homework. In order not to delay the progress, he often finds time at night to review the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. And on the other hand. The amount of needlework needed by the family has not decreased, so Shuning often has to sacrifice her rest time to catch up with work. Once or twice is nothing, but if there are too many times, her body will inevitably be affected, and her jaw, which has gradually rounded up due to drinking goat's milk, has been pointed back again.

Frangipani and Holly were very worried, and after discussing them privately, they quietly reported to the Tong family. Tong was very guilty, recently because of the old lady's anniversary festival and harvesting fruits and lotus seeds, she was so busy that she neglected her daughter. She called Shuning to take a closer look, and sure enough, she had lost some weight, and there were dark circles under her eyes, so she solemnly asked her daughter not to go out again for the time being, and even put aside Mr. Cai's homework first.

Shuning was worried about Fang Ning, but Tong said: "Your eldest sister is a few years older than you, will she get lost without you following?" Besides, now it's different from when she first came, and she is familiar with the way, and there are many people following, so what's there to worry about? Fang Ning was also on the side, and blamed herself for not discovering her sister's hard work. Shuning hurriedly said: "It's what I wanted, how can I blame the big sister?" It's because I don't want to delay my homework, but I want to go out and play, so it's like this. ”

Tong glared at her, and said to Fang Ning with a smile: "Fang girl, don't think too much, this is what the lady girl asked for herself, she wants to go out to play, and what do you want to do with your homework?" She doesn't have to take the exam, so why should she be so diligent? Shu Ning listened, flattened her mouth, and was a little aggrieved.

Tong turned his head to Xiao Liu and said, "Although Fang Yatou is not afraid to go out alone, after all, it is a young girl's family, and it is better to have an elder to take it." I wonder how many times my sister is willing to work hard? Xiao Liu smiled: "Naturally willing." In fact, I should have brought it at the beginning, but because I was not good, I let the two children go out by themselves, and now that I am well, I should leave it to me. It just so happened that my sister-in-law came to talk to me yesterday and said that she wanted to invite me to their place for fasting, so she should go to them. ”

Later, Fang Ning traveled several times, but Shuning did not participate anymore. She rested at home for a few days and recuperated her spirits. But these days, she didn't listen to Tong's words and stopped doing his homework on Mr. Cai's side. But maybe it's because I've been busy before, and I'm not used to being idle now. It just so happened that because the imperial examination was approaching, Zhang Bao gave Mr. Yang leave and asked him to prepare for the exam, Xianning and Xiaobaodi were left unattended, so Shuning simply took up the whip again, and tossed the two boys into a whimper, and missed Mr. Yang who was loose, benevolent and easy to bully.

But said that the little Liu took Fang Ning out to worship the Buddha, this little Liu and Fang Ning's hobbies are a little different, although there are also big temples to listen to people preaching, but they prefer to go to the nunnery to talk to the sisters-in-law, and the most to go is the Ciyun Nunnery about seven or eight miles away from the courtyard. Although the sisters-in-law are notoriously ugly, and even two of them have disabilities, the deliciousness of the food made in the nunnery is famous far and wide, and even the official daughters in the capital also come here. The temple is full of incense on weekdays, but 90% of the pilgrims come for fasting.

Fang Ning followed Xiao Liu twice, and also liked the food there, and even talked to Shu Ning, I don't know if I can try to make one or two dishes at home. Shuning thought that she was rarely interested in Buddhist things other than Buddhist scriptures, so she encouraged her to go a few more times, Hengzhu was close to home, and most of the people who came to the door were female guests, even if there were no elders with them, she was not afraid.

Fang Ning smiled embarrassedly and said, "Why am I embarrassed to go often?" Although the house and the third aunt gave me monthly money, I couldn't stay up for three days and two ends, but if I didn't add sesame oil, I really didn't have the face to eat white food. ”

This problem is very easy to solve, Xiao Liu is familiar with the sister-in-law there, and often asks them to do some prayer rituals, and there is filial piety every month. Shuning said a few words to the Tong family, and the latter added a few taels on the basis of the money paid by Xiao Liu, and asked them to pray for the blessing of the whole family. The abbot there has a good character, and his speech is elegant and funny, not as annoying as some nuns, so Tong also turns a blind eye to Xiao Liu's behavior of inviting her to talk from time to time.

Fang Ning has no worries, and often goes there with Xiao Liu to eat, that is, there is something incomprehensible in the scriptures, take it to ask the sister-in-law there, but there are also two older ones, who can explain something for her, in comparison, it is more convenient than going to Yunju Temple to listen to the scriptures.

It's just that there is one thing that is quite surprising, Fang Ning actually ran into that Mrs. Shu again. Mrs. Shu also accidentally heard that Ciyun Nunnery had a good meal, so she took her son to taste it on her birthday, and actually met Fang Ning, and later often met her there.

After seeing her a few times, Fang Ning told Shu Ning about it, and Shu Ning smiled: "It seems that the eldest sister and that Mrs. Shu are really fated, how can they always run into each other?" Didn't the big sister think she was quite kind? Could it be that you were mother and daughter in your previous life? ”

When Fang Ning heard this, her heart moved, and a faint flush oozed from her face.

Approaching August, Zhang Bao received a letter from his friend Zhou Wenshan, who was ordered to learn the Tao of Zhili and would take office soon.
