Chapter 7: The Kirin

After the Li family came out of Old Lady Ning, he also took the second young lady to the Buddhist hall again.

As everyone speculated, since Ning Shuo was sick like a mountain once, she tasted the suffering, and she had a sense of awe for the gods of heaven and earth, and sincerely worshiped every day, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would bless her children and children.

Now that the old lady said this, even if she knew that the nine points were fake, she was still afraid, so she still came to the Buddha Hall and knelt for half an hour.

The second young lady helped her back and rubbed her legs, but she waved her hand and said, "My legs are fine, but I want you to help me see how the two girls are doing." ”

She sighed and said: "As soon as the banquet bell came, something like this happened, it would scare her, you help me to appease and appease, I am really tired today, so I won't see her." ”

The second young lady went away in response, and as soon as she walked to the door of the small courtyard where the feast bell lived, she saw her and the fifth girl sitting in the courtyard, holding a bamboo basket in her hand, in which some thick blue and red lines were placed, as well as scissors, a small amount of cloth, and a picture with a unicorn style.

The two sat close to each other, muttering and talking together, and when they saw her coming, their eyes lit up, and they threw away the basket in their hands and ran over to help her sit down, and said happily, "Second sister-in-law, but do you have a letter?" ”

The second young lady was puzzled, "What is the letter?" ”

The feast bell and the five girls glanced at each other in disappointment. They also thought that the second young lady had come to report the good news. told me about going to Ning Shuo, and the fifth girl sighed: "The third brother went to the study to see my father and second brother earlier, and when you came, we thought it was done." ”

The second young lady looked at the feast bell with a shocked face, and then asked happily, "You came up with the idea?" ”

Feast Bell nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

The second young lady praised: "We didn't expect this good idea, Yan Ling, you are very smart." ”

In a family like theirs, the mother-in-law grinds the daughter-in-law, naturally there are thousands of ways, and the daughter-in-law fights back against the mother-in-law, and there are all kinds of means, but no matter who it is, it seems to isolate the man, and she is used to it for a long time, so for a while, she really didn't think of this idea.

She said, "My father is also a reasonable person, and he will definitely agree." Don't worry. ”

This family is actually very good, but the grandmother is really annoying.

Then he pointed to the basket and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The feast bell said embarrassedly: "It's the custom in Lingnan, if someone in the family is sick, weave a few unicorns and hang them on your body." ”

In the past, she always wore them for her husband, and when she knitted them too much, he would string them together and hang them in front of the bed, like bed curtains.

The fifth girl also answered: "Mother is worried about the third brother, so we will do something for the third brother to hang on his body, so that the third brother can be healthy, and the mother will feel better." ”

The second young lady smiled with satisfaction, "You are all good girls." ”

Then he said: "Then you can make a few first, and I will take them back to my mother later, and let her give them to the third brother." ”

Feast bell head. She can make a small unicorn with her eyes closed, and over time, she can also make up different styles, even if it is not for blessings, she can also put it at home to watch and play. Her hands were very dexterous, and several different threads shuttled back and forth in her hands, and in a short time, a bright little unicorn came out.

The fifth girl shook the hand of the feast bell, "You can make one for me too?" It's really beautiful. ”

The feast bell praised the sea: "I'll make one for everyone!" ”

Just don't give it to the old lady.

At this moment, the maid of the fifth girl ran back sweating profusely - she was sent to the front yard to keep an eye on her, and when she came, both girls were very nervous, "How is it?" ”

The maid said: "It's done, it's done, the slave saw the third young master at the moon gate in the front yard, the third young master asked me to tell the girls, the old man promised to copy the scriptures, so he went to find the old lady, the old lady was anxious when she heard the words, and she didn't let her copy the book, nor did she say that the Bodhisattva, she only said that the dream was reversed-"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile secretly, obviously thinking that the old lady's words were ridiculous.

The feast bell and the five girls hugged each other, and the second young lady was like a general who had won a battle, took out the silver to reward the four armies, and gave each of the maids present a penny of silver - it can be seen that she has been aggrieved for too long.

She was a fortune boy once, and hurriedly took the little unicorn braided by the feast bell back to report the good news. As a result, when she went, she saw her husband and third brother sitting in front of her mother-in-law's bed, waiting for her to take medicine.

I don't see my father-in-law, I should still be with the old lady.

She smiled and walked over, and when she saw her mother-in-law smiling, she knew what had happened. took out the unicorn and showed her, "We really have a good girl in our family, look, look, what is this." ”

Li Shi was happy, "This is the banquet bell made, right?" I know this, and her aunt made it up for me before. ”

Then he looked at Ning Shuo, "Your cousin is good to me, and even you have been blessed, this must be for you." ”

Ning Shuo was very familiar with this, but he was still stunned for a moment. I didn't expect to get a little unicorn made by her in Kyoto.

He stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers shook the unicorn and held it in his hand. The familiar touch in his hand reminded him of when he first arrived in Lingnan a long time ago. At that time, she had no intention of teaching her to read, so she flattered him and made up a unicorn for him.

He looked at it coldly and turned his head, but she didn't answer, she stepped on her little boots and turned to his eyes, smiled cautiously, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she kept holding the unicorn with both hands, and begged for pity: "Sir, you teach me, I know, you are very knowledgeable." ”

Ning Shuo thought that he later relented and agreed to teach her, and he didn't agree suddenly, it should be her flattering and smiling eyes that made him feel comfortable, so he added something to do in the days of waiting for death.

As soon as this thing was done, his days were full of fireworks. In the morning, she came to him with a small basket of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, made him breakfast, cleaned the courtyard for him, and pointed to the words in the book and asked him for interpretation. He didn't know how to teach at first, he only taught her to ask, and then he tried to take the initiative to ask her a few questions, and she was very happy, and made up a few little unicorns for him.

"Sir, you will be fine, such a good person as you will definitely live a hundred years!"

"β€”This unicorn can bless you with a long life. Shuo'er, you have to thank the banquet bell. Li was overjoyed, didn't notice that he was wandering, and said in a good mood: "Tomorrow I will also copy the Amitabha Sutra for you, and then I will worship the Buddha to bless you with good health." β€œ

Ning Shuo sighed, "Mother, my body is already well, don't worry." The scriptures can be copied, just copy them once, the Buddha is merciful, and he will definitely not blame you. ”

Li patted his hand with satisfaction and asked them to go back first, "Your father will come back later, I have something to say to him." ”

It's inconvenient for the children to be there.

The three of them walked out. When Ning Guogong came back, there was no smile on Li's face, but a sour face, and said, "The children are good for me, so I joined forces to do this, don't be angry." ”

Ning Guogong is a solemn appearance with few words and smiles all the year round - the second young master is like him. After listening to his wife's words, he waved his hand, took a sip of tea himself, and said, "It's my mother's fault." ”

Then he said, "This time Shuo'er took the initiative to tell me about it, and he has grown up and has filial piety, I am too late to be happy, how can I scold him." ”

But......

"Since he's been sick, he's been much calmer, and sure enough, the kids still have to go through some setbacks," he said. ”

Li Shi hurriedly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!" They are children for life, and I am willing to do it, so don't have any more diseases. ”

Ning Guogong: "......"

He said seriously: "A loving mother has many defeated children. ”

He said: "There is a lot of business today, I will go to sleep in the study, and you will go to bed early." ”

Li Shi was originally worried, if Ning Guogong saw that the method of copying scriptures with him was not from Shuo'er, he would say a few good words for the banquet bell, but now seeing that he didn't doubt it and didn't care, he hurriedly sighed, didn't say anything, just let people go to the big kitchen to say, send him some supper at night, and then let people stare at the movement in the old lady's courtyard.

The next day, the feast bell received news that the old lady was sick and did not see anyone, so naturally there was no need to go to greet her. Li Shi also hugged her and bit her ear quietly: "It is said that she broke a silk white agate saucer in her room last night, and five white-powder small tea saucers!" ”

The feast bell covered his mouth and smiled, and the room was cheerful.
