Chapter 142: The Legend of the Fox Demon
"Blessed mother."
Looking at Ling's slightly blessed figure, Shaohua can vaguely imagine that Ling's must have been a great beauty when he was young, and this beauty is full of sunshine and vitality, and full of enthusiasm.
In this regard, it is somewhat similar to the Qiang clan, except that the Qiang clan is from the Luo Bu clan who can sing and dance, and is very supportive and enthusiastic in terms of the relationship between men and women, which means that either party can take the initiative to woo the person they like. So for the women of the Luo Bu tribe, there is only what they look down on, and there is nothing they dare not pursue. Some people even say that Xin Maoshan was fascinated by the enchanting and beautiful dance of the Qiang clan at the beginning.
Ling Shi gently raised his eyelids, looked at his daughter with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but think of Wanhua who had already gone out, and said sourly: "You still remember my aunt, I thought you recognized the relatives of the big house." "Sure enough, the daughter who was raised by her own hands is closer, at least Wanhua has grown up since she was a child, except for being sick, there will never be less people who can't shake the thunder every day.
But after Wanhua went out, Ling always felt that there was something missing in her life, and after being reminded, she realized that there was one less person who would accompany her.
Because of Wanhua's presence, the Ling family is quite tolerant of Shaohua, as long as it is not excessive, it is almost up to her, and it can be regarded as compensation for not raising her for so many years. So if it wasn't for Wanhua coming to call her, Shaohua often forgot to go to the Ling family to say goodbye. There is no gap, there is no gap, and Ling only now feels that Wanhua is really a close-fitting padded jacket, and Shaohua is at most a cloak.
Shaohua sighed secretly in his heart, and then rubbed over and hugged Ling's hand coquettishly: "A-Niang, only when you don't want me, how dare I not remember you, didn't I come to say hello to you." ”
"Thank you so much." Seeing her secretly grimacing, the Ling family couldn't hold back and laughed. Ling didn't expect that Shaohua's sometimes clever and sometimes scoundrel temperament turned out to be the most painful in her husband's heart. The scene many years ago was scarred in the hearts of the couple, and Ling had no choice but to hug her with a smile and ask, "Let me ask you, are you interested in the eldest daughter-in-law's Lang Jun." ”
Shaohua said in his heart: Sure enough, it's this sentence again.
"Auntie, why do you all say that, I didn't, I just went over to see my sister-in-law. I heard that it was very hard for her to be pregnant, so I went to talk and chat with her, and I also happened to meet Youning. ”
"It's my brother!" Ling corrected righteously.
"Huh?" Shaohua couldn't react.
Ling Shi stretched out his finger, poked her head, and whispered in his mouth: "It's really not big or small, Youning is seventeen years old this year, how can you call him by his name, let the general's wife hear, you have to say that you are not educated." She really couldn't understand who Shaohua was, she remembered that her brother and sister-in-law at home were not like Shaohua.
Shaohua felt a sigh in his heart, and inexplicably felt his heart pounding, "What do you mean?" ”
"Call you stupid, but you have eyes, and you run here twice in three days. Say you're fine, but you can't even understand a word. Ling sighed again, the word "heart has a soul" is not suitable for every mother and daughter. Seeing Shaohua blinking innocently, she had no choice but to say, "The eldest daughter-in-law came over this morning to say goodbye, saying that she wanted to go back to her parents' house." He also said that the general's wife had a good impression of you, and asked me if I could take you back with me. I want her to go back to her parents' house this time, the family will be reunited, and you will be an outsider to join in the fun. However, if the general's wife really asked you to go, you can go with you. ”
At this moment, Shaohua was really stunned.
"Let, let me, go to the General's Mansion?" Does that mean she can see Xin Maoshan and the Qiang clan?
Although I knew that they would return to Beijing, they didn't come to the door, and Shaohua couldn't get out, so I was worried in my heart, but I couldn't find a way to meet. So I finally saw Youning, so I had to use Youning's hand to convey her thoughts to Xin Maoshan and them. In order to go to Xuyuan every time to listen to You Ning talk about the changes in northern Sichuan over the years and about Xin Maoshan and his wife, Shaohua deliberately mentioned that Li Xunzhuo planned to settle in Liangcheng, which really aroused You Ning's interest.
But now that he learned that he could finally see them openly, a kind of sadness about the wanderer's return to his hometown after many years of absence came to his heart.
"If you don't want to go, then I'll let ......" Ling saw that Shaohua was silent, thinking that she was resistant.
Unexpectedly, Shaohua immediately grabbed Ling's topic, half-leaned on the table in front of Ling, and said excitedly: "No, no!" I wanted to go, but there was just some surprise, too much of a surprise. The Ling family was taken aback, but fortunately, Shaohua was able to get away with the story of Old Man Ling again.
When Shaohua left, and when Ling asked Cui's mother to prepare a gift and let Shaohua take it to the General's Mansion with him, Cui's mother couldn't help but ask: "Madam, do you really plan to give the fifth lady to the West General's Mansion?" ”
Ling Shi lightly covered the tea lid and said leisurely: "Let's see." After a pause, he said: "It's better than Xingyong Mansion, I heard that Long Live Lord has pardoned the ban of the second prince, but he didn't say a word about Xingyong Mansion, just afraid that he would be treated as a substitute for the dead ghost." She was a little surprised, Li Xunzhuo and Wanhua actually mentioned Yan Kaizhi's matter to her one after another, thinking that when Shaohua was injured, Lanzhi often passed over the house, and the Ling family suddenly realized.
Cui's mother said: "No matter how you say it, Xingyong Bofu and the imperial concubine also have a relationship. ”
Ling raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "Who doesn't know that Mrs. Xingyong and the Imperial Concubine are just cousins, where can this kiss go." "Strictly speaking, it's just a courtier's family with a little nepotism.
Cui's mother kindly reminded the Ling family of Shaohua's status in Li Xunzhuo's heart. "But the master said that it would be good if the fifth lady liked it."
Ling Shi waved his hand disapprerovingly, "Master's temperament, can you not know better than me, when he spoils someone, in order to please her, he said that the stars dare not pick the moon, how can he think of anything else." The name of Bofu was exchanged for the grievances of Uncle Xingyong, and Yan Kaizhi himself said that he was unwilling to attack the lord, what is the use of just the name of the four gentlemen. Wu Niang doesn't understand, don't I know what I'm a Niang? ”
Since the Su family left, the relationship between Li Xunzhuo and the Ling family has been a bit deadlocked, but because no one provoked it, it will not be the same as before. Although he has a love for Wen Xiang, he is not as good as he used to be to the Su family, so Li Xunzhuo is more concerned about the house and business, and after being reminded by the Ling family, he also began to save a dowry for Shaohua. In Li Xunzhuo's heart, since he had already owed Shaohua a lot before, he must not let her be wronged in the dowry.
Cui's mother muttered to herself: "At the beginning, that Taoist said that the fifth lady is a blessed nobleman, and it seems to be true." ”
……
"Eldest sister, do you say that your second aunt will let Shaohua go back with you." You Ning bit the wine-stuffed red dates on the table, always feeling that it was not the ordinary taste from before, shaking his head and complaining, while eating up the plate of red dates, and finally said: "Sure enough, the taste is a little worse." ”
"The taste is so bad, don't you eat it all." Xin Zixuan said angrily.
"To be a man, you always have to pursue." Although his pursuit is a little lower. "Why didn't Shaohua come over today, I thought there would be other delicious food."
Xin Zixuan shook her head, completely defeated by this foodie brother. "What are you doing in such a hurry. In my opinion, she will probably agree to treat you as a son-in-law. ”
"To be a son-in-law?" You Ning was startled, immediately shook his head and waved his hand, and decisively refused. "No, I don't dare to provoke, that girl, just tease, I can't find guilt when I marry home."
You Ning found that Shaohua not only accurately captured his appetite, but even the weakness of his neck three inches down was discovered. Because he injured his spine when he was a child, he accidentally found that bone after recovering from the injury, and when he pressed it hard, his whole body was soft and weak, which was simply his reverse scale. So later, he didn't fight with people in close quarters, it was a martial arts competition, and he was also good at riding horses and archery, and the sword was acceptable, and he resolutely refused to fight with his bare hands.
Xin Zixuan was also very clear about her brother's narcissism, so she poured cold water on him. "I'm afraid that if you think about it in vain, she already has someone in her heart."
Youning was obviously taken aback, "Who is so unlucky?" ”
Although he was a little surprised and dissatisfied with Shaohua's ignorance of his appearance, You Ning had a thought in his heart that Shaohua was just a child, so he didn't understand. But thinking of facing himself who even felt red when a man saw him, Shaohua was able to ignore it calmly because his heart belonged. Suddenly, You Ning felt a little angry, and couldn't help but be curious: Could it be that this person has a face that is even more beautiful than him, so he will hook Shaohua's soul.
Xin Zixuan didn't bother with Youning's entanglement, but just sighed, "She is too similar to Mo'er." In addition to this skin, the temperament is also similar, the habits are similar, and even the preferences are the same, if it weren't for the second uncle's biological daughter, I would have thought she was Mo'er. Xin Zixuan always felt that when she saw Shaohua, she was always unsettled.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" You Ning was hooked by Xin Zixuan's tone, he frowned, suddenly raised his eyebrows, with an incredulous and hesitant expression, and then mysteriously lowered his voice: "Eldest sister, do you remember that there is a legend on Baishan that if a fox has cultivated for nine hundred years, it will become a fox demon, and if it has passed a thousand years of tribulation, it will become a fox fairy." The fox fairy can go directly to heaven and rank in the immortal class, but the fox demon can only wander in the world. It is said that the fox demon likes to incarnate as a human for the last hundred years and lurks in the world to practice. She can read anyone's mind, maybe, she just knows that the eldest sister misses the second sister in your heart, so she deliberately pretended to do so. ”
Yu Ning's voice was very magnetic, and if the woman next to him heard him speak like this, she would have been disorganized and couldn't extricate herself.
It's a pity that in front of him is no one else, it is his own sister.
As soon as he heard the first two sentences, Xin Zixuan knew what he was going to say, and seeing his pretended mysterious appearance, he couldn't help but mock. "Enough, how many little ladies have you deceived in Beijing with this story?"
You Ning saw that Xin Zixuan was not fooled, so he simply pretended to be stupid. "Huh? Sister, how do you know. ”
Xin Zixuan smiled triumphantly: "Because I made up this story." ”
Youning almost choked in one breath.
