The next days are dull, Shuning still goes to class every day, practices talent and housekeepers, Zhang Bao and his wife are busy preparing for the autumn harvest, Duanning in addition to reading and reviewing, is to practice riding and archery and teach two younger brothers, everyone in the family is in their own duties.

Soon, the Lu and Li families held a wedding, not only holding a banquet to receive relatives and friends, but also inviting the county magistrate to officiate the marriage, and the school officials to testify. For a while, the rumors that were unfavorable to Miss Lu dissipated, and many people said that she married a wealthy man, which was really a talented woman and a match made in heaven. Due to the large number of guests, in order to put down enough tables and chairs, the Lu and Li families also greeted Zhang Bao in advance, and occupied most of the passage shared by the three families.

Master Lu said that he would not give a dowry, but in fact, his heart had already softened, and the more he looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied he became, and he felt that he was very worthy of his family. The son-in-law said he didn't want his money, wouldn't he give it to his daughter? If her daughter has a private house, she will not suffer hardship, and she doesn't have to worry that her uncle will be greedy. On the other side, Master Li was thinking that his nephew's daughter-in-law's private room was equivalent to his nephew's private room, and he was such a good nephew, so how could Old Man Lu be dissatisfied? The dowry must be a lot of land.

The two elders each have their own stomachs, but they are very affectionate on their faces, which makes those who know that they are not in harmony secretly surprised.

Zhang Bao was filial and did not attend the wedding, but after that, Li Wensi still brought his newlywed wife to meet Zhang Bao and his wife, and said goodbye by the way, because he was going back to his hometown to pay tribute to his parents, and he might not come again before the next subject exam. Zhang Bao was a little regretful, and after saying some words of encouragement, he asked the magistrate of his hometown. turned out to be the brother of his former Fengtian colleagues. After thinking about it for a while, he wrote a letter of recommendation to Li Wensi, asking him to bring the letter to the magistrate when he needed it, maybe he could get an errand. Li Wensi thanked him again and again.

In the inner hall, when he took his daughter and niece to see Lu Ziyu, he realized that she was not actually disfigured, but that there were good deeds and false rumors. Seeing that she is now married. It looks even more delicate and moving. The behavior is also much more dignified, which adds a bit of liking.

Su Xu had the best friendship with Lu Ziyu, and she was very reluctant, but Lu Ziyu lightly gave her a fan with a poem inscribed by herself as a thought, and as soon as Li Wensi said that she was going to leave, she left.

Floocculent was a little stunned. Shu Ning knew that she was reluctant to be the first friend she made back, so she persuaded her: "There is no banquet in the world, let's separate today, she will come back in the future, not to mention that Mr. Li is going to enter Beijing again to take the exam in three years, her mother's house is at our door, she will not go back to her parents' house, right?" Thinking about it, it was a little better.

But. She took the fan and looked at it over and over for two days. The face is very strange. Seeing her like this, Shuning felt a little puzzled, it is very common to give fans in summer. What does she always watch it do?

In the end, Su Su still revealed the mystery by herself: "When I first met Miss Lu last year, I read the poems and paintings she wrote, and I thought it was very good, but the poems and paintings on this fan were just ordinary. Did she deliberately perfunctory me? I really think of her as a best friend! With that, he threw the fan on the table.

Shuning took it and looked at it, and felt that it was no different from last year's land, she thought about it, but understood the reason: "My sister is wrong to blame others." In fact, Miss Lu's poems and paintings are no different, the difference is only her sister's vision. ”

Last year's fluff was just a weak and delicate woman, worried about the scars on her face all day long, and her aunt was pampered, so not to mention the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, etc., it was an ordinary female red, and it was not often done, but I knew some rough words and read a few books of women.

But now Su Su has learned his talent from Mr. Cai for a few months, and has read a few poems and articles in his stomach, even if he can't write, he knows some famous allusions, and he knows the rhyme and the like. Even if it is a painting, I will draw a few strokes myself every two or three days. Thinking that although Lu Ziyu is conceited and talented, he just learned some fur from the teacher, and the layman thinks it is good, but in the eyes of the people who have barely entered the industry, it is naturally bad.

After listening to Shuning's explanation, Su Su also felt that this was the truth, and she was happy that her friend did not perfunctory herself. But soon, she thought of another thing: she didn't think about it, but obviously, she has learned a lot of things compared to when she first came, and she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, does it mean that she has also become a talented woman?

Shuning couldn't laugh or cry, but in order not to dampen her enthusiasm, she reluctantly nodded. Su Su's face flushed with joy, and she said, "So, I don't lose to ...... So who's it? She carefully held out two fingers and shook them.

Shu Ning knew that she was referring to Wan Ning, so she couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, but let's not learn to show off, it's good to know about it, and when my sister meets my aunt and uncle, and then let them know your ability, they will be very happy." ”

Su Su rolled his eyes, nodded with a smile, and said: "At that time, I will tell Ama Eniang that I not only know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learn how to play the piano, make a very beautiful purse, and learn several kinds of pastry." I'm the best at making dumplings, and I can mix thirteen kinds of fillings......"

Shuning was happy with her for a while, but when she saw her suddenly smile, she became depressed: "It's a pity that the scar on my face still can't be removed." The doctor said that it could only be cured to this extent. ”

According to the Tai Doctor, he only needs to continue to apply the potion at bedtime according to the prescription, but after a few months, the scar still has some very light marks, but it is slightly darker than the complexion, and it is impossible to see it if you don't look closely.

Shu Ning stared at her scar seriously for a few moments, and smiled: "Actually, I have two ways to solve it." The first one, the old way, apply a thin layer of powder on it, just cover it, it's more troublesome. ”

Su Su asked weakly, "What about the second one?" ”

Shuning said: "Actually, my sister is the color of the scar is slightly darker, if you don't use those whitening things for a long time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see it for a long time, so my sister only needs to stay under the sun for two quarters of an hour every day of the Dragon God Dance Post Day, and after a few days, the skin is as black as a scar, and naturally it can't be seen." ”

Su Su's eyes lit up: "It's really a good way, that's it."

Sure enough, she stood under the sun for two quarters of an hour every day. Fortunately, Shuning grabbed her and asked her to change the time from afternoon to morning or evening, otherwise she would have fainted from heat stroke. Later, Shuning felt that this was not very decent, so she simply took her to practice archery together, not only exercise, but also bask in the sun, and also practice archery by the way.

Shuning now practices often, and her archery skills have improved greatly. Basically, it can be maintained in the eighth or ninth ring within thirty feet. Other words. If she had shot a rabbit that had not moved, most of the ten arrows would have been able to touch the rabbit's fur. It's a pity that Xianning, who was targeted by her, has reached the point where six or seven arrows out of ten arrows can hit the rabbit's body, and she hates her teeth so much.

I didn't expect to shoot a few times, she was very talented, don't look at her still delicate and weak, but she can often shoot the bull's-eye. It can be compared with Xianning. Shuning turned her head away from looking at her and the two leather monkeys.

In fact, the reason why she has been diligent in practicing archery recently is that she thinks that next year's draft is only half a year away, and no matter what she wants to do, it is time to start preparing. She still wants to try to gain weight, but if she wants to gain weight and lose weight, it is very easy to damage her body, so she should lay a good foundation first. Therefore, I get up early every day and go to the martial arts training ground to run a few laps. In the afternoon, I practiced arrows for half an hour, walked for two quarters of an hour after dinner, and then took time to walk around the garden once or twice a day.

This method is quite effective. Coupled with paying attention to diet, she is getting healthier and healthier now, and she is still very strong, and she can open half of it with a bow in her ground, even if she runs around the house, she doesn't see a big pant.

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and Mr. Cai and Mr. Yang both took leave and left, and they planned to have a good holiday in the other courtyard. Since the family returned to Fangshan Villa in April, except for Duanning who went back to the Earl's Court for the night, and Zhang Bao occasionally went back to Beijing to listen to some information, Shi Shuning and other female dependents have not returned to Beijing for nearly four months. The Earl's Court didn't say anything, but from time to time sent people to send things to greet them, and they didn't see anything wrong at all. The clan was also happy, and even didn't go back to the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and waited until September to prepare for the full feast.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after their family had dinner, they went into the garden and asked someone to set up tea and fruits in Linyuan Pavilion, and chatted while eating fruit mooncakes. Smelling the fragrance of lotus flowers, it is really very freehand.

Shuning wrote a poem on the spot that was suitable for the occasion, which was a poem written by a famous artist to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhang Baoshi praised it. Duan Ning read her sister's words, and her heart was itchy, so she also wrote a bigger and more powerful word, and winked at her sister after writing. Shuning pursed her lips, asked Holly to change another piece of paper, wrote a book "Water Tune Song Head", and then raised her eyebrows at her brother. Duan Ning cleared his throat and was about to ask someone to change the paper, but was stopped by his father.

Zhang Bao smiled: "You kid, you're about to marry a daughter-in-law, why are you still fighting with your sister?" Don't let your cousin see the joke. Old Duanning's face flushed, and he replied in a low voice. Shuning glanced at him proudly and ran to her mother to laugh.

Xu Xu also performed a piano song that had been practiced for a long time, although the technique was not very clever, but the beautiful scenery of the good night, reflecting the autumn moon of Pinghu Lake, the piano music also became moving. There was the sound of horses galloping past on the road in the distance, and when they heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help but slow down their pace, and only when the music was finished did they gallop away.

The talent show won unanimous praise from everyone. The little girl was so excited that her face was flushed. She originally wanted Shuning to play a song too, but Shuning said that she was tired of writing and didn't play.

Everyone had a very happy night, and on the nineteenth day, it was Shuning's birthday, and the clan still set up a seat in the garden to celebrate her daughter's birthday.

A few days later, my aunt Tatharashi suddenly came.

As soon as she saw her mother, she threw herself into her arms and cried. If it weren't for the cunning fox spirit, she wouldn't have been able to take care of her daughter until recently, and she wouldn't have left her heart and liver baby alone in Beijing for so long, and she couldn't even spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her family. In order to avoid the regeneration of right and wrong in the family, she can only stay for half a month at most when she comes back this time, and she will leave as soon as the feast is over.

When Su Su calmed down, he told his mother about the events of the past half a year one by one - of course, it was only on the surface that he noticed that his daughter had changed. But obviously this is a good change, she is very happy in her heart, and thinks that the tutor of the third brother's family is really good. In the evening, after the daughter reported to her what she had seen and heard in secret, he was even more grateful to the family, and from the next day, he became affectionate to the third brother and his wife.

Obviously, neither Zhang Bao nor the clan was used to her changes. Zhang Bao was even more busy with the autumn harvest, and he didn't have time to socialize with this sister who had never been very close, but fortunately, he knew that he was busy with business and let him go early. Duan Ning listened to a few words from his aunt, and then said that he wanted to learn some skills from his father, and he also ran away, leaving only one of the clan to face him face to face. In fact, this aunt and this aunt have different views on many things, and their temperaments are not very similar, but she has always been kind to others, so she has to laugh with him.

After Shuning and Susu got out of class, they went to the main room to greet their respective mothers, and the clan breathed a sigh of relief, and his Tala's attention was also attracted by his daughter. However, this relaxed moment did not last long, and after the lunch break, he saw that his daughter was doing intricate needlework, so he went to the family room to talk to her. This time, he was fine, and he brought the topic to Susu, and secretly praised a few words, and he really kept talking about his daughter, and he only needed to occasionally pick up a few words "yes", "really", "really amazing", and it was easy. It wasn't until Shen Shi that the housekeeper reported that there was something to deal with, and she got out.

When Shuning was practicing calligraphy, she was called by her mother. Shi frowned and said to her: "Tongying is here, and she doesn't seem to be in a good mood when she looks at it, saying that she doesn't want to see outsiders, so she has already gone to the Water Pavilion." I'm going to accompany your aunt, and I don't want her to know about these things, so why don't you go to the garden and have a look." ”
