Ordinary clear day

Chapter 144 Qiong Yao
Shu Ning was startled, and quickly jumped to the side, the tea bowl fell to pieces on the ground, and the tea leaves splashed half of Shu Ning's clothes and feet.Shu Ning was a little angry, and asked, "Second Sister, what are you doing?" After she finished speaking, she saw Wan Ning curled up on the kang alone, her hands covering her abdomen, half of her body lying on the kang table, she seemed to be in great pain.

Wanning looked up and realized that she had scolded the wrong person, and hurriedly said: "Third sister, I'm sorry, I didn't see that it was you, did you get hurt?" She wasn't hurt either, so she didn't blame her any more, instead she stepped forward and asked, "Second Sister, what's the matter, does it hurt so much?"

Wanning flattened her mouth: "It hurts, it's cold and painful! Why do I want to be a woman in my life!" Then she leaned down again, panting slightly, moaning twice from time to time.

Shu Ning has never tried the pain method like her in her two lifetimes. At most, it is just a little uncomfortable and inconvenient to move, so she has no experience in this field. Seeing her in such pain, she panicked and looked around. At one glance, he was about to pick up the teapot on the Kang table and pour tea. Touch the body of the pot, it was hot, but after uncovering the lid, he found that it contained green tea.Although she is not an expert in gynecology, she also knows that green tea should not be drunk during this special period, so she asked: "Second sister, do you have anything else to drink here? You shouldn't drink this tea now."

Wanning took a deep breath and said, "It's gone, I asked someone to bring hot water. Is there no one outside?" Shuning said, "I'll go to the courtyard to have a look, and I'll be right back. Get ready." She hurried to the bamboo courtyard, asked for a pot of boiled water, and ordered someone to boil a bowl of brown sugar water, and when she returned to Wanning's small courtyard, she heard Qiaoyun come back.

Wanning kept saying to Qiaoyun there: "Why have you been away for so long? I'm dying of pain! Yanyun doesn't know where to go, I don't even have a cup of hot water..." beside Qiaoyun Pressing a cowhide water bag onto Wanning's abdomen, she said, "It's my fault, girl, don't be angry. I asked several people to find this water bag. Are you feeling better now?" She stretched her brows a little, and then continued: "Yanyun was here originally, because I asked her to boil the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, so she is not here. I just told Yuehe to stay and wait on the girl, why is there no one now? "

Wanning closed her eyes, and said: "She has something to do and walked away. What are you asking Yanyun to boil the medicine for? I told you that the medicine is too bad to drink, so I don't want to drink it!" She persuaded: "Good medicine tastes bitter, girl, you should drink some, it will make you feel better." Wanning just shook her head.

Shuning walked to the table, poured a cup of hot water for Wanning, and said, "Second sister, take a few sips first, I've already ordered someone to boil brown sugar water." Wanning took a sip, hugged the water bag and leaned against it. On the wall, feel better.Shuning quietly asked Qiaoyun: "Is the second sister like this every month?" Qiaoyun shook her head: "It was nothing before, but since last summer, the first few days were always sad, but it hurts like this, is it It happened only this year." Hearing this, Wanning's eyes turned red, and she said, "Why should I be a woman in this life?" Qiao Yun kept comforting her.

Shu Ning felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Second sister is not in good health, it's better to rest, I'll come to see you some other day." Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Wan Ning held her hand: "My good sister, stay with me more For a while, no one is willing to accompany me now."

Shu Ning looked at Qiao Yun awkwardly, Qiao Yun just smiled and said: "Third Miss, sit down slowly, I'll go and see if they have cooked the brown sugar water." Then she went out.

Shuning had no choice but to sit on the other side of the kang, and sat with Wanning stupidly, occasionally saying something, but Wanning just said "um", "ah" and "really", which seemed to be coping, but she didn't know where her thoughts went .Shu Ning couldn't help feeling annoyed: Since you want me to stay with you, why do you act like you don't want to talk to me?

She sat for a while, then got up to leave again.Wanning changed her attitude at this time, her face was full of grievances, her long eyelashes trembled, and a few tears fell down.She begged: "Third sister, please talk to me more." Seeing her pitiful look, Shu Ning reluctantly stayed.

Wanning began to complain: "You said I was fine, why did I suddenly suffer from such pain? I have been in pain for two full days! If I have to endure this every month in the future, what should I do?" Shuning said: "Everyone has their own situation in this matter. Since my sister has invited the imperial physician, she should take the medicine according to the doctor's advice, and pay attention to her diet. Besides, she should try her best to maintain a happy mood. She should get better soon."

Wan Ning glanced to the lower right, and quietly said: "How can I still be happy when I'm living such a life?" Shu Ning didn't know how to answer, so she just kept silent.

Wanning glanced at Shuning out of the corner of her eye, bit her lip, and said, "Third sister, you know, I always treat you like my own sister, and there are some things... I'm not afraid to tell you. Just please don't Tell someone to go, otherwise, I'm afraid my life will be in danger." Her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and a few more tears fell.

Shu Ning couldn't help feeling a little dark, but in this state, it was difficult for her to leave, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Second Sister, please tell me something."

Wan Ning sighed softly, until Shu Ning's goosebumps were aroused, before she heard her say: "Actually, you also know what's on my mind, I've always had someone in my heart. It's a pity that I originally wanted to illuminate the moon, However, the bright moon shines on the ditch, and I suffer here, but he is trapped in the gentle country and cannot extricate himself. When I think of it, my heart aches unbearably."

Shu Ning guessed that she was referring to the fourth elder brother.The fourth elder brother married a new concubine a few years ago, surnamed Li. I heard that he was related to Mrs. Li, the sister-in-law of the lobby. Tong even sent a big gift to congratulate her.But when she heard Wanning's words, she felt cold.

Wanning sighed again, and continued: "Actually, I also understand that things like feelings cannot be forced. Since he has no intentions for me, and I am not the kind of person who waits for a stalker, I have to tell myself that I must take care of myself." He forgets."

Amitabha, if you can really forget, then hello, hello, hello everyone.

"However, many years of love, but in exchange for nothing, I am really not reconciled! No matter what, I want to see him again, as long as I see him again. I want to tell him everything in my heart. If he listens to me, he will still As ruthless as before, I will admit it, and from then on, I will adopt my heart and nourish my nature, and I will never be entangled with him again." She took out a handkerchief from nowhere and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "But now I can't even get out the door. , Even the fifth elder brother came twice, but was blocked by Eniang. Now, let alone see him again, I can't even send a letter! Is it that I am so miserable, this affectionate, so that's it! Was it buried for nothing?"

She suddenly raised her head to look at Shu Ning: "My good sister, you must not bear to see me in such pain, can you? You will definitely help me, right?" He stared at Shu Ning closely, as if if Shu Ning couldn't say a word, she would pounce on her.

Shu Ning felt chills while listening, thinking what's wrong with Wan Ning today, she became so Qiong Yao?But facing those big eyes, she couldn't avoid it, so she continued to bite the bullet and said: "How can I help? Although my fourth elder brother and I are somewhat related, in fact, we are separated by several layers. , I can count the number of times I have seen him with five fingers, even if I want to help you, there is nothing I can do."

"As long as you are willing to help." Wanning grabbed her hand, "The third aunt is the elder brother of the fourth brother, it should be easy to see him, besides, isn't brother Duanning able to meet him often?"

Shu Ning tried a little bit, trying to pull her hand back, but was unsuccessful, so she said: "We have never visited the fourth elder brother, and he never came to see us in the mansion. As for my elder brother, since the fourth elder brother opened the mansion as a director , they seldom meet in school, how can you ask us to help you?" She didn't lie.

Wan Ning hurriedly said: "I've thought about this a long time ago, you probably don't know yet? The fourth elder brother had a daughter a few days ago, and this is his first child! When I heard the news, I was also very worried. He's happy." An unknown light flashed in her eyes, and she continued: "Third Aunt will definitely send a gift to congratulate her, right? Can you give me something by the way?"

She took out a purse from a small wooden box in the corner of the Kang, handed it to Shuning and said, "I spent... three days and three nights to get this out, and I gave it to the child as a blessing for her. Your family It’s fine to send it together when giving gifts, just mention that I made it specially, and don’t need to say anything else.”

It was the first time for Shu Ning to hear that the fourth elder brother had a daughter. She looked at the purse, it was made of bright red silk, and there were many ponies, dogs, flowers and grasses embroidered on it with various brightly colored silk threads. There are also many blessings and longevity characters, which is a very suitable gift for baby girls.But she really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. What if Wanning wants her to help in the future?Moreover, Tong's will definitely not agree.

Therefore, no matter what Wanning said, she refused to nod. The reasons given were not only that her aunt Nala would blame her if she knew about it, but also that this kind of private giving and receiving was not something that people in the boudoir should do.Wanning secretly almost gritted her silver teeth, thinking that although this girl has always been dull and conservative, she is easy to soften her heart, why won't she take the bait this time?Could it be that I didn't act well just now?If my mother is willing to agree, why does she have to spend so much effort?It's just a gift, how can there be any private giving and receiving? !

Shuning repeatedly evaded, Wanning was annoyed, but fortunately she still remembered the image she wanted to maintain, and instead of showing it, she showed a sad look: "Are you really unwilling to help me? It's just a matter of effort for you, even You don't need to do it, just give an order, why...you won't help me?"

"Why don't you help Sister Wan?" Xu Xu walked in, followed by Yue He.

When Wanning saw her, she rolled her eyes and shed a few tears, sadly said: "I want to entrust the third sister to do something, which can be done easily, but the third sister is not willing. Forget it, I I don't force you, so I have to continue to be sad alone."

Xu Xu didn't know what she was talking about, but seeing her crying so pitifully, her heart softened, and she said to Shu Ning: "Sister Shu, if the task entrusted by Sister Wan is not difficult, you should agree to her. "

Before Shu Ning could speak, Wan Ning added on the sidelines: "Cousin Xu Xu doesn't need to say more, but I know it well. I was not very close to my third sister in the past, and I accidentally offended her just now. Although it was not intentional, the third sister will inevitably blame me in her heart. This is human nature." She tilted her eyes to the lower right, with a pitiful expression.

Xu Xu looked at Shu Ning with some doubts, but Yue He interrupted at this moment: "Miss San, if our girl really offended you, it was not on purpose, please don't blame her."

What does it mean? !Shuning frowned, looked at Wanning and Yuehe.She knew that she couldn't push it away, but that didn't mean she would let them manipulate her!She said: "Okay, I agree to the second sister, but we have to agree first, I just try it, but I don't guarantee it will be done. If I can't send it out, the second sister can't blame me."

Wan Ning just wanted to be happy: "As long as you agree to do it! Please." Then she put the purse into her hands.

Shu Ning took the purse, but she was not quite reconciled, she moved aside to make room for Xu Xu to sit down, then glanced at Yue He, and said: "The second sister was looking for someone outside, but she didn't see sister Yue He , I wonder where you went?"

Yue He just smiled softly and bowed her head in silence.But Wanning said: "Third sister doesn't know something. I was sick in the room, and that Nanny He still refused to give up and always came to harass me. Thanks to Yuehe, she asked Nanny He for advice and suffered a lot. , Mother He didn't bother me anymore. It's just that Yuehe is suffering." She gently took Yuehe's hand and looked at her gratefully, Yuehe just smiled faintly.

But Xu Xu was a little worried: "When will Madam He wait until you leave?" Wanning said sullenly: "I have been studying for almost a year, and the one-year term was supposed to expire, but my mother-in-law said she wanted to leave." Stay with Madam He for a few more months." Xu Xu was also worried, what if her mother wrote to tell her to follow her?So the two started to worry about each other.

Shuning glanced at Yuehe for a few moments, pursed her lips, and said she had something to do, and left.

When she got out, she saw Qiao Yun standing in the corridor with a bowl, her face expressionless.Shu Ning called her, and she smiled slightly: "Is the third girl leaving now? Come and play when you are free." She caught a glimpse of the purse in Shu Ning's hand, and sighed: "Our girl spent more than one It took about a month to embroider it, please spend more time on the third girl." Then he went in with a bowl.

Back in Huaiyuan, Shuning saw that Mrs. Tong was discussing something with Ermo, she seemed very happy, so she went to pay her respects.Tong said with a smile: "You came just in time. I just found out that the fourth elder brother had a daughter. I thought it would take another ten days to give birth. Fortunately, everything was prepared early. It's just for Song Gege. I don't know. Which one should I choose, can you help me see?"

Shuning helped to choose, and finally selected a few medicinal materials, two jade plaques and four pieces of high-quality clothing, and then wrapped two bundles together with the gift for the newborn, and prepared to send them to Pumpkin Alley.

Shuning hesitated, not knowing what to do with Wanning's purse.Tong looked back and saw her holding a purse in a daze, so she asked what was going on.

After listening to her daughter's narration, Tong took a look at the purse, and said, "It's not bad at all. She has only learned the skills for two or three years, so it's not bad." Looking at it, she felt that there seemed to be something in the purse. If there is something, I open it and take it out.It turned out to be a white silk handkerchief, with fly-sized characters embroidered with black silk thread, densely packed, forming a whole Buddhist scriptures for disaster relief and blessing.Tong Shi sighed: "This is what she likes, the second girl really put her mind to it."

Only then did Shuning realize that there were articles in her purse, and she thought that what Wanning said about working for three days and three nights was nonsense, and what Qiaoyun said about more than a month was the real time, right?It seems that Wanning has long been prepared.

Tong put the handkerchief back into her purse, thought for a while, and said: "Take it back, tell the second girl that you can't send it out in a few days, and just return it to her. Although she is very careful, this kind of thing should not be done by others." Let's do it. The fourth elder brother just got a daughter, and my aunt gave him a purse for a young girl. What kind of people have we become? His daughters-in-law know about it, and they don't know how they will blame us."

Shu Ning thought so deeply, so she took her purse back, chatted a few gossips with her mother, and went back to her room.But Tong ordered Ermo to deliver the gift as soon as possible.

(Honestly speaking, when I wrote it, it was very cold...)
(I think about it later, and I also feel that it is a bit ill-considered, so let’s change it...)
