Chapter 45: Stand-ins
Because of the strange and frightening word "stand-in" that popped up in her mind, she couldn't fall asleep in bed late last night, tossing and turning, feeling that she was really unforgivable.
But this thought that came out of nowhere naturally lingered in her mind, and no matter how much she wanted to forget, she couldn't forget it.
Ay!
She sighed heavily in her heart, realizing for the first time how despicable and shameless she was. So as soon as Ning Shuo came in, she lowered her head and resolutely didn't look at him.
If you don't look at him, you won't want him to wear Mr.'s clothes, you won't want him to pick up Mr.'s books, you won't want him to hang a string of unicorns, and you won't want him to stop eating bean cakes!
Ay! Ay! Ay!
She was languishing, and her heart was like a drum, beating a pure conscience.
Li Shi hurriedly asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?" Are you still afraid of the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion? ”
The feast bell had to answer yes. Li Shi taught her, "There have always been some dirty things in high-ranking families, and yesterday's events are actually nothing." You don't see that some people carry out their lives one by one, as if they are carrying chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, and they don't care at all. ”
The feast bell was very concerned when he heard it, and was about to speak, when he heard the mother-in-law outside: "The Zhenguo Mansion has sent someone." ”
The Li family was busy going out, and there were two people in the house, Feast Bell and Ning Shuo, and there was a maid and a maid standing outside, and a maid happened to send a plate of bean cakes.
Ning Shuo pinched a piece and ate it at random, and then listened to the little girl ask him softly, "Does my cousin like to eat bean cakes?" ”
Ning Shuo told the truth: "I don't like to eat." ”
He is actually not a picky eater, but Li likes to eat bean cakes, which are often placed in the house, and he will pinch a piece to eat when he comes.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a tangled look on her little face, and then pushed the peach blossom cake next to her, "Cousin eats peach blossom cake." ”
Ning Shuo felt inexplicable, but still took a piece and ate it.
The expression of the feast bell naturally relaxed, stared at him and took a bite, and he also picked up the peach blossom cake and took a bite.
The two of them ate, and Ning Shuo suddenly felt that he was back in the Lingnan courtyard. She also pushed the peach blossom cake on the table to him like this, "Mr. eats, I eat too." ”
She would also ask beautifully, "Does Mr. like to eat peach blossom cake?" ”
Ning Shuo felt that it was okay to eat it or not, but when she asked, she had to say that she liked it, otherwise the little girl would toss the osmanthus cake and rose cake...... He felt that the food was almost the same, so there was no need to toss, so he nodded.
As a result, I ate it for four years. Because she is young and likes to eat something, she is willing to eat it for a long time, as if she will never get tired of eating.
He also once euphemistically mentioned when he didn't want to eat anymore, "Do you still eat peach blossom cake today?" ”
The little girl nodded seriously, "Eat, it's delicious." ”
He had a headache and was a little more direct, "Won't you feel tired?" ”
The little girl said: "How can you feel tired of the things you really love?" The more you eat, the more you like it. ”
Then he asked suspiciously, "Don't you like to eat?" ”
Looking at her sincere and nervous eyes, he still said with a clear conscience, "I like it, I have the same idea as you, but I'm afraid that you will get tired of eating too much." ”
So the little girl rejoiced, and on the second day she made him a full plate, and told him, "Although it is delicious, you must not be greedy." My husband is not in good health and has eaten too much. ”
Ning Shuo: "......"
It was a funny thing to laugh and cry about, and it was funny for him to think about it, so he couldn't help but smile, and when he looked at it, he sighed deeply: sometimes it's really strange to her, her cousin is still very similar except that he doesn't look like Mr. - this sentence is really contradictory, but very apt.
She couldn't help but push the peach blossom cake again, "Cousin, let's eat another piece." ”
Ning Shuo: "......"
He had to take another piece.
The feast bell was happy, and his little face was full of joy, as if he had done something big, and he was very satisfied when he was done.
Ning Shuo didn't think about this matter to himself before at all, and it was impossible to think that he was being used as a "stand-in" at this moment, so he only sighed that the little girl was still young, and she was still frightened by the things in the Zhenguo Mansion just now, so she happily ate the pastry at this time.
Moreover, she really likes peach blossom cakes. The plate she eats now is made by herself, and she has sent it to the house, and she also has a plate there.
When he finished eating, he was afraid that she would push the peach blossom cake again, when he saw an unspeakable look of disappointment suddenly appear on her face.
Her head was lowered again, her face still had a look of shame, and she lowered her eyes and turned around, a little embarrassed.
Ning Shuo thought that he already understood her very well, but at this moment, he was still a little confused: why was he suddenly happy and sad.
Sure enough, it's still a little girl.
He coughed and asked, "What's wrong with my cousin?" ”
The bell of the feast sounded like a mosquito, "No, not much." ”
Woo! She's so sorry for her cousin! Just now, she couldn't help it, but she still regarded him as a stand-in for Mr., and when she saw him eating peach blossom cake, she felt that she was back in the past, and she was really happy.
It's a pity that after rejoicing, I have to face reality. and rejoiced for a while, and agonized for a while.
She sighed, only feeling that she was not good like this, and that she had to control it.
She didn't want to stay with her cousin. She stood up suddenly, "I'll go find the fifth sister." ”
Ning Shuo felt that something was wrong with her. Fortunately, before the feast bell went out of the door, the Li family returned. She thought that the feast bell was out to find her, so she said, "You want to ask me about the Zhenguo Mansion, right?" ”
Feast Bell nodded in accordance with her meaning, "What did the people from her family say?" ”
Li pouted, "It's a thief, a steward, who made a night suit by himself, and wanted to steal something from the backyard warehouse while everyone was busy, and I ended up running into you." Now the steward has been sent to the government. ”
When the feast bell heard this, he felt that he didn't believe in this reason. Li clapped her hands, "In the end, it's all someone else's business, whatever." ”
The feast bell asked again, "Is Seventeen Niang awake?" ”
Li nodded, "I'm awake, but I didn't ask for details." The mother-in-law said that Seventeen Niang suffered from the wind and cold and wanted to recuperate at home...... I guess what's going on with her. ”
The feast bell also thinks so. Li Shi whispered, "Zhenguo Gong has created evil, and he has given birth to so many daughters, and he has given them to their respective aunts to raise...... It's not what I said, there are many aunts, where can you be harmonious, there are so many good things, whoever wins is whoever, over time, the girls at the bottom will learn. ”
"It's all the sins of the town."
Feast Bell nodded, thinking so. Then she turned to the side and found that Ning Shuo was standing by her side at some point, she was startled, and hurriedly made an excuse and left.
Li Shi looked at her, then at Ning Shuo, and scolded, "You bullied Yanling?" ”
Ning Shuo shook his head helplessly: "No." ”
He had never bullied her, and he really didn't know what happened to her today.
