Rath listened to his proposal and hesitated. She already knew what she had done after returning home, and punished the two concubines who rebelled while she was away, but the dispute between the people in her own courtyard was actually suppressed by the concubine, which made her feel very embarrassed.

But on the other hand, it is already very difficult for her to take care of the entire mansion by herself, and she has a biological daughter to discipline, so she really doesn't have the energy to take care of another concubine. And Fang Ning's situation is indeed not suitable for letting it go, and she was sent to Baoding Zhuangzi, but she was worried that there would be no elders to take care of her, but Shuiyue Nunnery was too cold, what if she really let the girl become a sister-in-law? She still needs to be embarrassed.

After weighing it again and again, Nala sighed, agreed to this proposal, and sincerely asked the clan to take care of Fang Ning, and the clan naturally responded happily.

Nala summoned Fang Ning and told her about it, and when she saw that she was just silent, he said earnestly: "I know that you are actually more willing to go to Baoding or Shuiyue Nunnery in your heart, but you also have to be considerate of your family's thoughts." Although there are stewards and servants in Baoding, there are no relatives and elders who can take care of and guide you, and Shuiyue Nunnery is really too cold, and it is not the place where the young girl's family should go. The courtyard of your third uncle and third aunt's house, I heard that it is also a good mountain and water, and it is quiet, when you get there, you have elders to take care of you, and you have sisters as companions, and everyone in the family can rest assured. You're going to go. ”

Fang Ning replied in a low voice, but her heart was still a little sullen, and she came to the sisters. Although she thanked Shuning on the lips, Shuning saw that she was not very interested. Wan Ning said on the side: "Eldest sister, you should be happier, it is really good to be able to live in a place with mountains and rivers." I want to go for a break, too. Fang Ning smiled reluctantly and opened a Buddhist scripture. I read it again.

Shuning was first thundered by Wanning's words, and then when she saw the Buddhist scriptures, she smiled and said to Fang Ning: "What's the use of the eldest sister knocking on the scriptures and chanting the Buddha at home all day long?" Even if you can memorize the scriptures backwards, can you understand the meaning here? ”

Fang Ning stopped to look at her, and Shu Ning continued: "The Zhuangzi of our family Fangshan, the landscape and everything are ordinary, but the biggest benefit is the nearby Dover family temple. Among them, there are many famous mountains and temples. The eldest sister went to live there, so we picked the day when the weather was good and went to the major temples to worship the Buddha. Even if it is to support the Buddha's appearance, listen to the stories of the Buddhist family, and ask those eminent monks for advice and Buddhism, isn't it better than the eldest sister working alone at home behind closed doors? If there is a scripture that my sister doesn't understand, she can also take the opportunity to ask someone. ”

Fang Ning was a little moved when she heard this: "Although I have heard of Fangshan Duofo Temple, I have never been there, there are really many temples there?" Shuning nodded: "It's really a lot, there is a small temple in the mountain behind our house." Within a radius of several dozen miles nearby. The more famous ones alone are Yunju Temple, Linghu Temple, as well as Shengquan Temple and the North and South Temples on Shenglian Mountain. These temples often hold pujas, thinking that May 13 is the Christmas of Garan Bodhisattva, and June is also the day of Guanyin's enlightenment, how about we go to listen to the lectures? I heard that Yunju Temple has a thousand-year-old stone scripture, a wooden scripture, a paper scripture, and a Buddha relic. Doesn't my sister want to take a look? ”

Fang Ning was really interested in these, and began to look forward to the trip to Fangshan. Although Shuning was happy in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh for Fang Ning's "hobby". As for Wan Ning, when she heard Shu Ning count the names of the major temples, she lost interest and turned around to deal with the robe she had recently learned.

Now that the matter has been completed, Shuning has also let go of the big stones in her heart, and only needs to think about how to make Fang Ning more comfortable during her stay in Fangshan Villa. She thought a lot. For example, let Fang Ning get along with her younger brothers more, and let the two naughty ghosts make Fang Ning happy; Another example is to go to the temple to worship, of course, it is inevitable to enjoy the mountain scenery along the road; Another example is that Fang Ning is now staying indoors all day, which is not good for his health. It is best to walk around a lot and pay attention to your diet; And so on and so forth.

She had been thinking about these things at night, and she couldn't sleep for a long time, so she finally calmed down, but she heard that someone seemed to be walking back and forth in the courtyard outside, so she climbed out of bed, put on her coat, and spread the frangipani that was sleeping soundly on the ground, and opened the door to look out, it turned out to be Duanning.

Duan Ning was pacing back and forth with his head down, sighing a few times from time to time, and suddenly felt that there was someone behind him, and when he looked back, it was his sister Shuning, who hurriedly looked up at the sky, and said with some guilt: "Did you wake you up?" I'll go back. Shuning shook her head and said, "I'm already awake, but what's the trouble with my brother?" Duan Ning smiled: "It's nothing, it's a little hot, I can't sleep, just come out and take a cool." ”

Shuning doesn't believe it, Duan Ning is the one who survived the hot summer in Guangzhou, and the early summer weather in Beijing can make him so hot that he can't sleep? She carefully examined her brother's face, and found that there was a hint of melancholy hidden between his eyebrows, and pulled his hand, which was cold and cold, remembering that when he had eaten at night, he had only eaten very little, and now he might be hungry. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty, she should have found out that something was wrong with her brother earlier, but Fang Ning's trip to Fangshan occupied her whole mind, and she actually ignored her brother.

Shuning hurriedly dragged Duan Ning back to the room, and then lightly went to the kitchen to order a bowl of noodles and sent it to Duan Ning to ask him to eat. Duan Ning smiled bitterly, although she had no appetite, her sister's intentions could not be in vain, so she had to eat all the noodles. Only then did Shuning begin to ask him what he was worried about.

Duan Ning hesitated again and again before he spoke: "When I went out today, passing by Prince Jian's mansion, I thought that the Longevity Festival was almost here, so I went to ask if Tongying had come, but the people in the palace only said that he didn't come, and asked when he would arrive, but he couldn't help it." In the end, it was a long-term follower who had been with Tongying for a few years, and quietly told me that Tongying ...... Missing. ”

"What?!" Shuning was taken aback, "Didn't you say he went to Mongolia?" I thought he had returned to Mukden earlier, so how could he be missing? ”

Duan Ning sighed: "Who knows? Since he left Prince Jian's mansion in Fengtian last summer, his family only knew that he went to Mongolia, and later the emperor visited the outside world, and the fourth elder brother had seen him. Everywhere he went, he would ask someone to bring a letter home, so his family was angry. But I didn't worry too much. But ......"

Duan Ning clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths before continuing, "Three months ago

Li had sent him a letter urging him to return to Mukden, but he only said that he would go back as soon as possible. Sent away. At that time, he was near Alxa Erut, whether it was walking directly from the grassland or by taking the Shaanxi and Gansu areas, it would take less than a month's effort, but there was no news so far. It was a vast and sparsely populated desert, and he only brought one servant with him......"

Shuning didn't know where Alxa Errut was, and it seemed to be some remote region in Mongolia from the name, but Tongying's family was able to send a letter there to him. At least it proves that it is a place where people can live, and the Mongolian ministries have a good relationship with the imperial court, and as Tongying, they should be taken care of.

She knew that Tong Ying was Duan Ning's best friend since he was a child, and he had been missing for three months, so she could imagine how worried her brother was, so she comforted: "I remember that Brother Tong Ying has been both civil and military since he was a child, and he is very good at riding and martial arts, and he is also very smart. Presumably there is something to rely on. Maybe he'll be home in two days? Brother, don't worry about it first, just go to his house to inquire more in the future. ”

Duan Ning smiled bitterly: "He is a person, he is said to be both civil and military, but in fact, he is only better at riding and archery, and his martial arts are only middle and upper in the sect, and his greatest strength is intelligence." He thinks about everything, but I'm worried that he's too smart, so he'll do things big. You see that he has been in various Mongolian tribes for so long with only one person, how do you know how dangerous that is? ”

"Brother thinks too much, Brother Tongying has always been cautious in doing things, he naturally knows these things, and when he was in Fengtian, he befriended several Mongolian princes. The people in those tribes, just for the sake of those little princes, will not do anything to Brother Tong Ying. Shuning patted Duanning's back lightly, "Besides, what's the use of us worrying here?" Prince Fengtianjian's Mansion will definitely send someone to find it. Presumably there will be news soon, but they are two big living people, and they will definitely leave traces. ”

Duan Ning smiled bitterly again and opened his mouth, a little hesitant. He wanted to tell his sister that he had corresponded with his old classmates in Mukden, only to find out that when Tongying left home last year, he had just had a big fight with his family; He wanted to tell his sister that after the year, Tongying's eldest brother Yaerjianga was demoted because he connived at his subordinates to fight with the officers and soldiers under the eldest brother, and Prince Jian was fined and forced to leave Beijing because of the disgrace in front of the king, and even Tongying himself was demoted to the knighthood, from Beizi to the Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom; He wanted to tell his sister that the people from Prince Jane's mansion had written to Tongying to return home as soon as possible, so that he could dedicate another painting on this year's Halloween, and as long as he made the emperor happy, maybe he could ask for some favor; He wanted to tell his sister......

He had a lot to tell his sister, but for some reason, when he saw the sleepiness on the little face in front of him, he dispelled these thoughts, no matter how smart her was, there was no way to solve these things, and telling her that it was just one more person who was troubled by this. So he smiled and said to his sister, "Look at you like that, you must be very sleepy, right?" Go back to the house and go to sleep. "I'm not sleepy, I'll spend a little more time with my brother." Shuning said stiffly.

—

Duan Ning smiled: "I'm fine, after saying it, it's much more comfortable." I'm going to sleep too, and I'll have something to do tomorrow. Shuning thought about it, so she responded, and before leaving, she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and put them outside, and someone would naturally come to collect them tomorrow morning.

She fell asleep soon after returning to the house, so she didn't notice that the candlelight in Duanning's room was not extinguished until the fourth watch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was ~~~~~~~ two days later

Two days later, Shuning followed her mother and brother, and took her cousin Fang Ning back to the courtyard in Fangshan. Zhang Bao welcomed Fang Ningdi's arrival, but did not show excessive enthusiasm, which made Fang Ning feel very relieved. She had only been in this mansion for half an hour, and she already felt that this was a very different place from the Earl's Court.

The family placed her in Zhilan Courtyard, and saw that she only brought Chunyan a maid ring, so he appointed another clever little girl, and two daughters-in-law to wait for her, and ordered the family to treat the eldest girl as if it were his own girl. She told Fang Ning to say whatever she wanted to eat, and she didn't always have to go to the main courtyard to make rules, just act according to her own heart. Of course, Fang Ning didn't dare to do it, but she knew that this was the intention of the third uncle and three aunts, so she received this love in her heart.

The next day, the weather was fine, and Shuning took Fang Ning to visit the garden early in the morning. In the increasingly hot summer, a place with many flowers and trees near the mountains and water is of course much cooler than other places, not to mention the fragrance of all kinds of flowers in the garden, which is really refreshing. Fang Ning is here, but he enjoys a rare leisure.

Shuning had already asked Fang Ning's scriptures and paper scrolls to be sent to Guanlan Pavilion, and said to her: "It's cool here, the place is spacious, and the eyes are brighter when you look at the water, so don't you copy the scriptures here." It's just that when it's hot outside, remember to go back to the house. Fang Ning looked around and said with a slight smile: "This place is really good, are you used to reading and writing here on weekdays?" Shuning said: "This was originally the place where Mr. Cai gave me lessons, and the two younger brothers were on the Lingbo platform over there, but if it was hot today, E-Niang asked us to move to the second courtyard, so I only came here in my spare time." I'll call a little girl here to listen to the instructions, and my sister can just copy the scriptures with peace of mind. ”

Fang Ning nodded, sat down in front of the desk and picked up the pen. Shuning saw that she had copied half a page, so she left the garden and went back to the piano lesson.

Not only has the location of the class changed, but the time has also been changed from afternoon to morning, which is probably due to the fact that people are prone to sleepiness in the summer afternoon, which is not conducive to studying. Mr. Chua is in favor of this practice because he is in better spirits in the morning; As for Mr. Yang, he felt that the new method was more conducive to him to arrange his study time, and that attending classes in the second courtyard was more convenient for him to live in the adjacent courtyard, and of course he would not object.

In fact, although there are weather considerations for this arrangement, the bigger reason is to vacate the garden. Because of the news from the fourth elder brother, he is very likely to come to Fangshan again recently.
