Mama Qing walked up to her, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes tightened, and she scolded: "Mouthy little hooves, you can't protect yourself, and you have to be nosy, and you will be punished for practicing for two more hours!" ”

Seeing her like this, Green Ring gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Mama, you let Yao Er go, Green Ring is also willing to be punished on behalf of Yao Er." ”

Mama Qing turned her head violently and scolded viciously: "You little hooves, you can't rebel, since you are intent on making trouble, this Mama will fulfill you." Come and hang them higher, and don't give them lunch or dinner!"

The mother-in-law was just about to obey the order, but I saw Liu Ji walking up to Mama Qing behind his hands and saying, "It's always inappropriate for Mama to punish her like this. The ladies are all yellow and thin, without any fresh air, if Lord Su enters the mansion and sees this, he will be greatly disappointed, and the one who will be punished at that time is probably Mama. ”

The wrinkles on Mama Qing's face trembled, and she smiled and said, "It was our errand to discipline the maid, if the maid didn't understand the rules and lost the face of Master Su, it would be a big deal." Commander Liu cares about his concubine so much, which surprises Grandma Ben, they are all the concubines of Master Su, and Commander Liu should avoid suspicion. ”

Liu Ji looked at Mama Qing coldly, and said: "The words of this commander are what Master Su means, if Mama is not satisfied, wait for Master Su to enter the mansion and ask in person." Then he turned his head and commanded his attendants, "Go over and put these girls down." The guards listened to the order, ignored Mama Qing, and directly stepped forward to untie the silk rope and let Zi Ning and the others go from the hanging rope.

Mama Qing's face was pale, but she didn't dare to step forward to stop her. These guards were personally sent to Qingshuang Yuan by Lord Su, and they were all retinues of Su Mansion, and even the King of Huajun had to give them some face, and she, the Sect Leader, did not dare to offend them easily.

Liu Ji didn't look at Mama Qing, turned around and ordered the guards to open the long box, which was filled with various colors of silk and satin cloth, as well as some jade jewelry and pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Seeing that the ladies were standing far away and did not dare to approach, Liu Ji said loudly: "The adults have ordered, each of these rewards, the girls will choose one each." After a few days, when the adults enter the house, they will see the needlework and clothing of the girls. ”

The ladies looked at each other, all of them smiled happily, chirping and running over, holding a silk in their hands, and seeing the jade bracelet crystal clear, they thought everything was good, and they put together and chose it.

Zi Ning half-squatted to help Yao Er, who was unconscious, and said angrily on the side: "Yao Er is faint here, they don't care, they go to grab those silk jewelry, they really don't have any kindness." Zi Ning pinched Yao Er's acupoint hard, and said calmly: "Who are they, don't we know it a long time ago, why be angry with them." ”

After pinching for a long time, Yao Er woke up with a "sigh", and saw that it was Zi Ning and Lu Huan supporting her, there was a commotion around, the women were scrambling for jewelry and clothing, no one paid attention to them, and she guessed seven or eight points in her heart, and said weakly: "I'm fine, you guys hurry up, if it's a step late, there are good things to fight for." ”

Zi Ning helped her sit on the chair in the corridor under the eaves, helped her rub her temples, and said: "No matter how good things are, they are not more important than people, let them fight, and when they have enough, it is not too late for us to choose." ”

Green Ring nodded and smiled: "Thanks to the help of the guards, otherwise we will still hang on the eaves, as long as I don't practice hanging Feiyan, those silk and jade, I'd rather give them all of them." ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't leave her, Yao Er couldn't help but be moved in her heart, a halo appeared on her pale face, she took their hands, and said softly: "I have been in the palace for many years, but I have never had a friend, and my aunt taught that people are deceitful and should not trust anyone. I didn't expect to meet you in Dongyuan, so I knew how lucky I was. Zining, Green Ring, you are all good people, there will definitely be good rewards!"

Zi Ning and Lu Huan glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing, Lu Huan raised his hand to poke Yao Er's forehead, and said with a mischievous smile: "Look at what you said, it seems that we are the reincarnation of the Buddha, which is embarrassing." The people who come to this Qingshuang Garden are all poor people, and they should help each other, and everyone is like sisters. ”

The three of them rested for a while, and saw that the ladies had chosen their own good things, and looked at them beautifully under the sun to show off. Zi Ning glanced at it and saw that the four treasures of the study were tied together with red silk, but no one cared about it, and thought: "Anyway, I don't know how to do needlework, and it's useless to ask for silk and satin. It is better to choose pen, ink, paper, inkstone, you can study ink and write. Later, I learned the seal script with Qianli and wrote it with pen and paper, which is called beautiful!"

Green Ring helped Yao Er over, the two of them each chose a piece of silk cloth, Zi Ning walked to the front, and saw that the sandalwood box was open, and the large and small three brushes were placed together with bundles of fine white rice paper, next to which was a lacquer-colored inkstone, and a small box of neatly placed incense ink blocks.

Zi Ning smelled the sandalwood mixed with the fragrance of ink, and was excited, and wanted to raise his hand to take a brush to take a closer look, and suddenly heard a crisp and gentle voice say: "Please give me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and thank Lord Su for your favor." Zi Ning's heart was shocked, and she turned her head to look at it suddenly, and saw the high-grade maiden Xia Wan smiling, standing in the sunshine with a sparkling beaded gold hairpin on her head, reflecting her face becoming more and more white and soft.

The guard holding the box nodded and smiled: "Girl, please choose, Master Su has ordered, if Miss Xiawan likes cold smoke and ink, she will order someone to send it later." These are ordinary rosin inks, and if the girl doesn't dislike them, she will use them first. ”

Zi Ning heard Qianli say that cold smoke ink and rosin ink, the scholars used mostly cold smoke ink, research this ink writing, like the color of cold smoke cage, subtle and dignified, will exude a faint elegant ink fragrance, so cold smoke ink is extremely expensive. Rosin ink is more common, grinding high-quality rosin ink writing, the ink color is vigorous and penetrating, and it is also more rare, but it cannot be compared with cold smoke ink.

In addition to these two things, the top precious is the green sandalwood ink, although the nobles in the Great Jin Kingdom are numerous, there are few people who have really seen this ink, just because the green sandalwood ink is extremely rare, the ink color is uniform, the shade is distinct, and the bones are clear and easy. Writing with sandalwood ink can really achieve the unity of handwriting and soul, and it will not decay and change color for thousands of years.

I saw Xia Wan's eyes flashing, and said with a smile: "The little woman doesn't dare to expect cold smoke ink, this high-grade rosin ink is already excellent." As he spoke, he picked up the small box containing the ink block and took a closer look at the dark ink.

Zi Ning saw that she took the rosin ink, and she was anxious, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xia Wan, and said in a sincere tone: "I also want this ink, can you give me some of it?" Anyway, you can't use too much of this box of ink blocks, and when Lord Su sends you cold smoke ink, you won't need rosin ink. She learned to write with Qianli, and she didn't use pen and ink these days, only writing on the bluestone floor with water, which was not as neat and beautiful as writing with pen and paper.

Xia Wan's quiet eyes stared on Zi Ning's face, turned around for a while, and said suspiciously: "Can the girl write?" Zi Ning's face turned red, and she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Just because you can't write, you have to learn by heart." I know that Miss Xiawan is very knowledgeable, and she is from the palace, so she must have seen a lot of good paper and ink. The rosin ink that Master Su rewarded was just an ordinary ink color for the girl, but to me, it was a good thing that I had never gotten. The girl was kind, so she divided some of it with me, and also opened my eyes and saw it. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Wan's eyes, and then she showed a smile of approval, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, I will not win the love of others." I brought the Four Treasures of the Study from the palace, and there are many more, so let's use them for you. Handing over the box in her hand, Zi Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking: "Xia Wan is so easy to talk to, it's really likable, no wonder she can be a high-quality girl, and she is indeed worthy of such a name." ”

Seeing it on the side, Luhuan was also overjoyed, clapping her hands and laughing: "Miss Xiawan is really knowledgeable, I have thanked you on behalf of Ning'er." After that, I hurried to see the pen and ink rice paper in the sandalwood box.

The maidens next to them looked at them, showing a look of disdain, only to hear Shi Tao sneer, and mocked: "It's obviously a black crow, and it's a white phoenix." This is called Dong Shi Xiao is not willing, and painting a tiger is not an anti-dog!"

She took a string of jasper bead necklaces, looked at them carefully in the sun, and said with a smug smile: "Adults reward all good things, this jasper beads are of uniform color, and they can be gathered one by one to form this necklace, which is really rare." When I took this chain, I accepted the love of adults in my heart, unlike those who are pretentious, who are pretending to be high-minded, thinking that if you can only write with ink, everyone else will be inferior!" he said, putting the necklace around his neck.

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Green Ring couldn't help but turn his head and say angrily: "If we can't write, what do we have to do with you." If you don't say a word about your tongue and tongue, you can't say a word if you treat you as a dumb person, you have to get along with us! You have caused Xianggui to suffer in the forbidden room, what else do you want, today is Lord Su's reward, can't you be quieter!"

Shi Tao rolled her eyelids, looked at her coldly, and pouted: "Zi Ning is a famous lady, you have become her personal maid, and you have to protect you everywhere." You have time to stutter, it's better to learn how to hang Feiyan with your heart, and wait for Master Su to enter the mansion, pity you for your hard work, maybe look at you more. Saying that, covering their mouths and snickering, the girls followed the schadenfreude and stood aside to watch the excitement.

Green Huan's face turned red with anger, Zi Ning pulled her behind her and stared at Shi Tao fiercely, at this time, Manzhu came over to persuade the two of them, and said in a low voice: "My lord has rewarded something, let's just choose, who wants to care about someone with a bad mouth like her." ”

When Shi Tao heard her words, she raised her eyebrows and shouted, "What are you, you have a bad mouth!" raised his palm to hit Manzhu, Manzhu was panicked, and hurriedly hid back. Seeing that Shi Tao was rude to Manzhu, Zi Ning stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, threw it down hard, and said coldly: "I warn you, don't mess with us again!" Shi Tao relied on herself to be a middle-grade woman, and Zi Ning looked at her coldly, her neck was raised, and her eyes were full of provocation.

The eyes of all the ladies were focused on Zi Ning and Shi Tao, and at this time, the frost goose on the side put down the silk cloth in her hand, walked to Shi Tao, and said lightly: "It seems that the lesson last time was not enough, you slut came to make trouble again!"

Shi Tao was shocked and screamed: "My bead chain ......" immediately squatted down to pick up those jasper beads, but she was in a hurry, and saw a few beads falling out of cracks, and her heart was as distressed as cutting meat.

Seeing that they were noisy, Liu Ji walked towards this side and said in a deep voice: "The girls don't cherish the things that the adults reward, they compete for the noise, and they break the things, what kind of system." Looking around at the women, he looked unkind and asked, "Who made trouble first?"
