Tong's situation was a little bad, Shuning hurriedly called two maid rings to help support, Nala saw that there was a change here, so they also rushed over to see, everyone was half-helped, half-carried Tong back to Huaiyuan. Then the Nala clan ordered someone to ask for a doctor and a stable woman.

Tong Shi rested for a while, and he was already much better, but he was still in a cold sweat. Shuning wiped it for her anxiously, and asked softly, "Eniang, how are you?" Are you better? Tong nodded slightly, closed his eyes and said nothing.

A big girl in the old lady's house, named Cuiyu, came over and said to Shuning: "Third girl, please go back to the room, the old lady has ordered to start the punishment immediately." ”

Without waiting for Shuning to answer, Nala shouted, "What are you urging?!" Didn't you see that the third wife was sick? ”

The jade retracted in a daze, and said in her mouth: "Is this what the old lady ordered, how dare my little girl disobey the order?" ”

Tong Shi opened his eyes and said, "I'm fine, Shu'er go, stay still, don't be sad, I'll go and see you when I turn around." ”

Shuning was sad for a while: "I have to wait for the doctor to diagnose the pulse before leaving." ”

Fortunately, a doctor Wang who is familiar with Su Ri happened to be in the house today, and he came after a short time, and carefully diagnosed Tong's pulse, saying that it was okay, but he was a little tired, and he thought too much, as long as he relaxed and gave birth to it, it would be fine. Only then did the crowd relax.

Shuning followed Cuiyu back to her room, heard her lock outside, and then said: "Every day, someone will bring tea and food to the three girls, and there is a little girl who is guarding the door, waiting for the girl to wash." Ten days later, the old lady will send a message to let the girl out, and ask the girl to take care of her. ”

Shuning ignored her, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her room. I'm going to spend the next ten days here, so it shouldn't be boring, right? Usually I don't like to go out to play, and I don't have to get up early in the morning to go to the rooms to say goodbye these ten days, you can sleep late, it's not bad, the so-called "summer is just sleeping".

If you want to pass the time, there are books, pen and ink, piano, chess, and a lot of sewing and fabrics in the room.

It's a pity that she remembers that there are not many of the two kinds of paint left, and she can't figure out the red and cyan chickens, but anyway, she has to practice brushwork, and the color doesn't matter.

Just as Shuning was thinking nonsense, there was a commotion in the courtyard, and if you listen carefully, it should be her father and brother who are back. Her brother is a nurse, I hope I won't do anything stupid on impulse.

Sure enough, I heard the voice of a little girl outside the door: "Fourth Master Duan, the old lady has ordered, the third girl will not be able to see anyone for ten days." Then came Duan Ning's voice: "I know this is the old lady's order, can't I say a word to my sister?" ”

Then there was silence for a while, and Duan Ning's voice came from the crack in the door: "Sister, can you hear me?" ”

Shuning hurriedly hurried over and said, "I heard it, brother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Duan Ning said in a low voice: "I've heard everything, it's all that Wan Ning who caused the trouble, and it affected you." My sister has been wronged, I must go and beg my grandmother to let you go. ”

Shuning said: "Brother doesn't have to beg, grandmother is angry, if even you are annoyed, it will be very bad." Ten days of hard work is very easy, I have books to read in the room, and I can practice calligraphy, painting and piano, maybe after ten days, Mr. Cai will say that I have made great progress in my homework, and praise me. ”

Duan Ning chuckled lowly, and said softly: "Okay, then you can practice well, you don't have to go to the elders to say hello in the morning and evening, and you don't have to do your homework in a hurry, you just go to bed later in the morning and get up." ”

Shu Ning high-fived: "It's exactly what I want!" My brother is so amazing, he actually guessed my mind! ”

Duan Ning smiled, then was quiet for a while before saying, "I will study hard." ”

Yes?

"I will also practice martial arts well, get ahead in the future, and never let my mother and sister be wronged again." His voice was very firm, as if expressing some determination.

Shu Ning's heart warmed up, and she felt that it was really good to have such a brother.

===================I was ================= at night at the dividing line of the main house of Huaiyuan

Zhang Bao touched Tong's forehead: "It's okay now, right?" It's going to freak the hell out of everybody. ”

Tong shook his head and said, "How is Shuning?" ”

"In the room, I've already had dinner, and although it's lighter, it's nothing. The kid was still comforting me and telling me not to worry. ”

"This kid has always been the most sensible." Tong couldn't help but shed tears, "It's all me, the mother, who has affected her." ”

Zhang Bao hurriedly comforted her: "What are you thinking about?" What does this have to do with you? ”

"E-Niang did it on purpose to show me, I refused to let Cuiying enter the door, so she tossed my daughter in a different way. She was trying to force me to nod. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Cuiying is the second brother's intention, even if you nod, I won't. This time Shuning was punished, it was Eniang who was angry with Wanning, so she was angry with her, and when Eniang's anger subsided, she would release Shuning. ”

Tong shook his head: "Even if it is released this time, what about the future?" Husband, do we really want to stay here all the time? Next year, if you take the position of Shuntian Mansion Cheng, won't you have to live here for another three years? Can't you just find a shortage from other places? Even if I can bear it, what about the children? I can't bear to let them be wronged. ”

"How can the children be wronged? It's just that Shuning was implicated this time, didn't I say that it will be fine in two days? ”

"Can't you see me? There are always small injuries on Duanning's body, either blue or swollen, and when asked, he only said that he accidentally bumped into it. He has always been a steady child, how can he always be careless? If you hadn't been beaten in school, you would have been bullied by your brothers. Especially since he is very valued by his mother, those cousins must be jealous. ”

"How so? They are all their own children, so why not? ”

"You are out every day, how do you know my difficulties at home?" Tong was crying next to the bedside, and Zhang Bao was very reluctant to see it. Although he said that he would not, he was also a little worried that his children and wives would be angry at home. But if you don't wait for the lack of Shuntian Fucheng, there will only be the same knowledge of the five products to choose from. Whether he really wants to give up the rare official position of the fourth rank for the sake of his family, he hesitates in his heart, and he doesn't know how to choose.

Regardless of Zhang Bao's worries about choosing family happiness or the future of official products, the next day, the second sister-in-law heard the news from all over the house, and quietly avoided anyone to report to Tong: "Yesterday, the second girl took advantage of the eldest wife's unpreparedness to secretly take the eldest girl out, thinking that she would quietly go back and forth, so as not to alarm the family." Who knew that the old lady didn't know where to get the news, so she sent the big housekeeper to take people to the teahouse, and it happened that the eldest girl was alone with the boy of the Fan family, and she was brought back immediately. I heard that it was the fourth girl who told the old lady the secret. ”

Tong gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard this: "The three stinky girls are not good goods!" It's even affected our Shuning! ”

The second sister-in-law continued: "I heard that although the Fan family only opened a small tea room, there were many dignitaries and nobles who came and went, and the housekeeper was afraid that it would not sound good to publicize this matter, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but just scolded and smashed two tables and chairs. But the eldest lord was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and threatened to drive them out of the capital. ”

Tong Shi said indifferently: "What do these things have to do with us? By the way, this time the four girls hurt the three sisters to be punished, what about her? ”

The second sister-in-law said: "Speaking of retribution, the second wife has always wanted to get the second girl to give her ideas to make money, but I didn't expect the fourth girl's words, causing the second girl to be scolded by the old lady, the second wife went back to the house, and directly beat the fourth girl, I heard that the second master scolded her, and also locked her in the house and did not allow her to come out." ”

Tong sneered: "Cheap girl, now the noisy ones are locked up, and the house can be clean." ”

She felt deeply aggrieved by her daughter, and made up her mind to do everything possible to get her husband to agree to find a vacancy in the field.

Shuning is not bored in the house, she has a lot of things to do, and she is not worried that someone will disturb her, so she is much more diligent in practicing calligraphy and painting. And these two things have the same benefit, which is that they can make people feel calm. Because the weather was too hot and she couldn't open the door, she didn't dare to do anything that was too much exercise, lest she sweat profusely, and now it was inconvenient to take a bath, and it would be bad if the whole house smelled of sweat.

However, it is possible to open the window, and there is a small window behind the screen at the back of the house for changing clothes, facing a small passageway, and no one passes by on weekdays. In the past two days, Duan Ning excused herself to take care of her mother, and took leave from school, and then when her mother was resting, she quietly sent some snacks and toys to the window through this small aisle to make Shuning happy. The brother and sister opened the window a crack, and whispered through it while the girl at the front door heard it.

On the third day, Duan Ning received a letter from Tongying, a good friend made by Fengtian, and specially brought it to his sister. It turned out that Tongying had sandwiched a stack of drawing paper in the letter, and when she opened it, she saw that it was exactly what happened when she tried the horse that day. There is himself in the painting, there is Duan Ning, there is Shu Ning, even Master Cheng and Chun Xing Ma San'er and his little guy Tianyang are there, although the lines are simple, but lifelike, don't be interesting, Shu Ning can't help but be happy when he sees it, and feels as if he is reading ancient comics.

Duan Ning specially pointed to Shu Ning on the painting and said to himself: "Look, he even painted someone sitting on the grass so rudely, oops, in the future, if someone wants to pretend to be a lady in front of him, he can't pretend to be good." ”

Hearing this, Shuning punched him twice, and snorted: "Even if this girl sits on the ground, everyone is still beautiful, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

The brother and sister made fun of it, and Shuning said: "I didn't know before, it turns out that Brother Tongying is so good at drawing, looking at his pictures, it's like really seeing that situation." ”

Duan Ning said: "You don't know, he is the best at drawing, and he paints quickly and well, what does he paint like, but it's a pity that he Ama doesn't like him to tinker with this, so he usually paints very little." I wrote to him that he was bored here, so he sent this to me. He also said that if we haven't left before the Chinese New Year, he will come to the capital to play with us. ”

Shu Ning was also a little looking forward to hearing this, and was about to talk to her brother about some details, but she heard the sound of unlocking the front door, so she hurriedly glanced at Duan Ning, closed the window, walked back to the table quickly, picked up the pen and pretended to be drawing, and casually drew a black bump like a beetle.

The door opened, but it was Cuiyu, she smiled and said to Shuning: "Congratulations to the third girl, the old lady said that the girl has been wronged in the past few days, and the rest of the punishment will be waived." She turned around and beckoned a few little girls: "Don't wait for the girl to wash and change clothes." ”

Shuning stretched out her hand to stop her: "No need, just call Chun Xing and Qiao Yun to wait, thank you for the old lady's kindness, I'll kowtow when I turn back." Jade smiled and led the people to retreat.

After grooming, Shuning went to see her mother, only to learn that it was the eldest aunt who revealed to her grandmother that she had already known about the "report", so she could be "released" early. She went to the main courtyard and kowtowed to her grandmother, and listened to a few words from the other party before returning to her yard.

Although the punishment was reduced a lot, as soon as she saw the snobbish, rigid and indifferent old lady, and then recalled the kind and loving grandparents in her previous life, Shuning couldn't have admiration for her, although she shouted "grandmother" in her mouth, she didn't regard her as a relative in her heart.

Early the next morning, Shuning was sorting out the things to be used for class, but she heard a burst of voices from the courtyard, and someone shouted: "Miss Xiaofen in the big room has come to kowtow to the masters." ”
