Ordinary clear day

Chapter 152 Chunhui
At dusk on the western mountain, in the main room of the Bamboo Courtyard, Nala was sitting upright with no expression on his face.Luyun came up to light the lamp, and when she saw her like this, she cautiously asked her if she wanted to eat.Nala suddenly woke up, first asked Wanning if she was awake, knew she was awake and had eaten, then sighed, and asked Luyun to call her daughter.

Wanning came in with a somewhat pale face, and after saluting, she carefully sat down beside her.Nala asked dumbly: "Have you eaten? What have you eaten?"

"I have eaten. I ate a bowl of porridge and two bean noodle rolls."

"Remember to eat in the future. You can't stop eating because you feel sad, even a little bit. Mommy Jin brought snacks to the car, why don't you eat them?"

"My daughter will never dare again." Wanning replied cautiously, and secretly glanced at Nala.She was a little puzzled, originally thought that Nalashi would scold her, but she didn't expect to be so amiable.

Sensing her gaze, Nala sighed secretly, and said, "I've heard about it from Mother Jin." Seeing her daughter suddenly straighten up, she endured it, and continued, "It seems that you You did such a disrespectful thing because you heard the servant named Wang Gui who came up from Baoding Zhuangzi and misunderstood that Sanfang lied to you. Tell me first, what did Wang Gui tell you?"

Wanning hurriedly said that it was Wang Gui who overheard that the host's house was receiving nobles in the garden, their whereabouts were suspicious, and they probably had the intention of marrying, that made the third girl Shuning go to the water pavilion every day, but he wanted to go to the water pavilion again. Tanshi was kicked out to Baoding Manor by his master on trumped-up charges.After Wanning finished speaking, she whispered: "I saw that the fourth elder brother appeared in Fangshan these few days, but did not live with Song Gege, and then the garden of the third uncle's house was a little weird, so...that's why I made it happen. Incorrect……"

Nala closed her eyes, and opened them after a while and said, "Er Mo told me that in those days, the second son of Prince Jane wanted to use their garden to draw something, and he didn't allow anyone to approach him for fear of being disturbed." Yes, as for Sanya to deliver the meal, Brother Duan was there at that time. As for that Wang Gui..." She paused, then raised her voice to order Luyun to call Wang Gui up.

After Wang Gui came up, he kowtowed respectfully, but Wanning found that he looked at her with hatred, and felt a little strange.Nala asked him to repeat what he said to the second girl, Wanning listened to him, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

That Wang Gui actually said that when he greeted the girl, the girl heard that he was kicked out by the third house, she was very unfair to what happened to him, and wanted to avenge herself; he also asked himself if he knew there were strange things in the other courtyard, And the matter of the nobleman from the palace living there; he forced himself to admit that the man was a prince, and Sanfang had the intention of clinging to him...

Wanning was furious, and immediately jumped up and accused Wang Gui of lying, but Wang Gui sneered and said, "Second girl, why are you so confused? This is obviously what you said. Otherwise, I am a little servant, how would I know anything?" Is the prince not the prince?"

Wanning was so angry that she wanted to scold again, but was stopped by Nala.Nala ordered the king to go down, and ordered a woman to tell people to look after him and not allow him to talk to others, so she turned to see her daughter.

Wanning gritted her teeth and said: "Emiang, he lied! I really didn't do that! He said it all! Why did he frame me?!"

Nala said: "Maybe he really told you those things on the way, but do you know his details? He is indeed the grandson of Wang Momo, but Wang Momo has already let him go, and his parents are the waiter He was a errand. A few days ago, didn’t you find a few mistakes there, and caught a few people who were pocketing their own money? His parents were among them. Because you said that they should be severely punished, I kicked them out. I want to come here Wang Gui changed his words on purpose after he came back to the mansion and found out about it."

Wanning was even angrier when she heard this: "It's obvious that they did something bad themselves, but they are blaming me? It's really unreasonable!"

Nala was silent for a while, and then continued: "I asked Ermo. This Wang Gui is on their side. He is always lazy and troublesome. Because his hands and feet are not clean, he was going to be beaten. Your third aunt drove her to Baoding because of Wang Momo's face. What he said was unfounded, but it was nonsense. Everyone in the house knew what he was like. Originally, this was a trivial matter, and I didn't intend to take care of it, but since he dared to I can't tolerate Mingli harming you!"

Wanning opened her mouth, and said hesitantly: "Well... just drive him away?" Nala sneered: "Let him go out and talk nonsense? I have my own discretion in this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." She looked Looking at her daughter, she said again: "Your three uncles and three aunts are all governors, and they know what to do. I will also comfort the others and won't let this matter get out. You don't have to worry."

Wanning originally wanted to say something, but when she thought of Wang Gui's hatefulness, she stopped opening her mouth.After a while, she saw that her mother hadn't moved, so she carefully asked: "So, this matter... all right?"

"How could it be all right?!" Nala's sudden outburst shocked Wanning.She stared at her daughter fiercely, and said angrily: "Even if Wang Gui told a lie, are you a fool? How could you believe him?! You even broke into someone's house and ran into a guest? What do you want me to do in the future?" See your third aunt?! Their husband and wife have helped you, Ama, and me a lot. Your third aunt has also helped manage the house for more than a month. When your second sister-in-law's pregnancy is stable, I haven't said anything yet. She returned the power without saying a word. Also, because of the Dragon Boat Festival gift, the family's money flow was not working well for a while, and your third aunt paid 1000 taels of silver to the account without saying a word. I owe you third uncle There are enough favors in one family, now that you have done this kind of thing, how can you tell me to have the face to meet them?"

Wanning trembled slightly, and stared at the maddened mother with wide-eyed eyes.

"Also, if your third uncle and third aunt really want to cling to the prince, why bother? Your third aunt's family is the mother's family of the fourth elder brother! There is another empress from his family in the palace! If you want to marry, your three My aunt goes back to her mother's house to beg and it's over, do you still want your daughter to have a private meeting with elder brother?! Why do you always hold on to this idea?"

Nala stopped to catch her breath, looked at her daughter, and suddenly choked up and said, "My daughter, why are you so confused? It's okay to be indifferent to the fifth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother doesn't care about you at all, but you are so eager If you stick to it, he is about to marry Fujin, what are you still obsessed with him? Are you really going to rush to become a concubine? In a family like ours, the daughter actually goes to be a concubine for someone else, you call you Ama How will you meet people with me in the future? The lady of the Shi family, others say she is the default crown princess, but her father is also an uncle like your father."

Wanning opened her mouth, bit her lower lip again, tears in her eyes.

Nala continued to choke and said: "How do you know how powerful this royal family is? The fifth elder brother is thinking of you, so you don't care about him no matter what; the fourth elder brother sees your third aunt's face, as long as he doesn't go too far, he will I don't have the same knowledge as you. But the ladies in the palace are not easy to get along with. Do you think that Wen Han has already married a wife, so you don't have to worry? Don't forget, there are many dudes in the capital. Originally, If you really married the fifth elder brother, then that’s all right; if you continue to think about the fourth elder brother, there is a rift between the brothers, you don’t need those women to deal with you, as long as the emperor sends a little eunuch and a pot of poisoned wine, If you pour it down, you, Ama, and I can only kowtow to thank you, and then tell others that you died of a sudden illness, who can save you? My son, you are my own flesh and blood, how can you tell me to look at it? You are walking on the road of death..."

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears, and Wanning trembled even more.It's not that she hasn't thought about this kind of thing, it's just that she doesn't think she will have such a day. There are such plots in the novel.But, can she really believe that someone will come to rescue her at that time and let her die in suspended animation?She missed Sisi several times in a row. Could it be that they really had no destiny?Is Si Si really not her real son?

So, what is the purpose of all the efforts she has made so far?
She trembled and trembled, and finally couldn't help but threw herself into her mother's arms and cried loudly.She didn't know what she was crying for, she just felt that she had to cry like this.Nalashi caressed her lightly, weeping with her.

After a long time, Wanning stopped crying, and asked with a sob: "Emiang, what should I do?"

Nala patted her and said: "There is no other way now, Er Niang has to find a way to find out the meaning of the palace. If the palace is willing to point you to the fifth elder brother, you can accept your fate. If the palace does not That means, our family will report you when you are over the age, and then carefully find a good family for you, and you will never be wronged..." She held back her tears before continuing: "It's just that you can't be confused again in the future. Now, you have to be safe, you know?"

Wanning couldn't help crying again, she buried her head in her mother's arms, closed her eyes after a while, and said, "Got it..."

=================================================================================================================== ======
Tong Ying came to Fangshan to live temporarily this time, but she came here to hide from the quiet.During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, he had already promised the emperor that he would draw a "Dragon Boat Race" and submit it.He did a lot of preparatory work, and started painting a month in advance. The painting has been drawn [-]% to [-]%, and there is only one last point left, but there is always no way to finish it.

His sister-in-law, Guerjia, was six months pregnant, and her natal family specially sent someone to take care of her, including several sisters.They are all young, gentle and considerate. When making supplements for their pregnant sister, they don’t forget to help Tong Ying’s little father-in-law make a portion, like a wheel turning, and give a soup every half an hour Ah, water, snacks, and supper.Tong Ying couldn't bear to bother her, so she begged her brother to intervene in private, but because her sister-in-law had a big belly, she could easily get pregnant, so no one stopped the girls.Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was still a few days away, Tongying didn't make any progress on the painting, and was almost sprinkled with soup, so she had no choice but to ask the book boy to keep the painting, and went directly to her old friend for help.

Duan Ning felt great sympathy for what happened to him, and while slapping him on the back, seeing that there were many people in the Earl's mansion, he took him back to Fangshan.Sure enough, they are familiar with each other, both parties are used to it, and they settled down after a while.In order to allow Tongying to paint quietly, he was specially placed in Zhenxia Pavilion, where the pens, inks and paints are also complete, so Tongying does not need to prepare them himself.Tong Ying was gratefully expressing her acknowledgment when she encountered Wanning.

After dinner, Tong Ying thanked Zhang Bao and Tong Shi contentedly, and thanked Shu Ning who personally cooked for him his favorite dishes, and sighed: "Every time I come here, I feel so comfortable. Forget about staying longer."

Duan Ning said with a smile: "Okay, ten taels of silver per day, stay as long as you like, and I will treat you like a fairy."

Tong Ying scolded with a smile: "I have been an old friend for so many years, but you are so cruel?!"

After the joke was over, Tong Ying once again thanked Zhang Bao and his wife, Tong said with a smile: "Young master is willing to come, we naturally welcome it, it's rare that you and our brother Duan are so close, thank you, it seems unfamiliar .”

Tong Ying thinks about it too, so she won't say more.

Today's Zhang Bao and Tong's are very different from those in Fengtian. It's not just the change in official titles and titles, probably because they have experienced many things, and they no longer attach too much importance to the difference in status.Especially the Tong family, she taught all the princes as if they were children. Tong Ying is a clan, and she has been friends with Duanning for many years. She has faintly regarded him as a nephew, and her tone of speech has changed.

Tong Ying was originally a careful person, so she naturally noticed the change, she was secretly happy, and felt more relaxed in this house.

From the second day on, he concentrated on painting.No one bothered him for a few days, and only Shu Ning Tianyang waited on him. Shuning cooked three meals a day, sent them to Linyuan Pavilion, and Tianyang took over.The Zhenxia Pavilion is well-equipped, even in a hidden small room at the back of the pavilion, there are also bathtubs and toiletries.

The environment is quiet and there is no other distraction. Tong Ying finished the rest of the painting in only four days.Tong also personally led people to find a good Ling Haoluo in the warehouse for him to mount paintings.

There are still two days until the Dragon Boat Festival, Tong Ying is not in a hurry, when the painting is drying, he chats with Duan Ning Shuning in the front house, and invites Xu Xu over.

At first Xu Xu was a little afraid of Tong Ying's identity, but seeing his friendly attitude, she gradually relaxed, and followed Shuning to call "Brother Tong Ying".Since she learned painting from Mr. Cai for a few days, she became interested in this kind of art, so she admired Tong Ying very much, and when she heard him talk about his experience on the Mongolian grassland, she was very fascinated and yearned for it.

Seeing that she loves to listen, Tong Ying enthusiastically told her about the desert scenery, endless grasslands, galloping fast horses, enthusiastic Mongolians, and mellow milk wine...

As Xu Xu listened, she stared at Tong Ying with infinite admiration in her eyes, and a red cloud rose on her face.Tong Ying looked at it, and then thought of some people who had a similar expression, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she changed the situation and talked about his hardships in the desert and across thousands of miles.If you don’t have enough water, you can only lick a few mouthfuls a day; if you don’t have food, you’re going crazy with hunger; if you can’t find anything to eat, you dig worms and scorpions; the roasted scorpions are very fragrant, but be careful not to get stabbed...

He spoke vividly, and Xu Xu's face turned pale when she heard it. When Shuning saw him, she hurriedly changed the topic and started talking about barbecue on the prairie.It's a pity that Xu Xu was obviously stimulated too much, and she didn't turn her attention to the delicious barbecue. After struggling for a while, she found an excuse and left first.

As soon as her figure disappeared, Shu Ning turned her head to stare at Tong Ying and said, "Brother Tong Ying is too much, why did you deliberately scare her?" He had done this kind of thing to her before, and she knew it best.

Tong Ying smiled wryly, she couldn't tell a little girl that he was trying to kill the little girl's thoughts about her in the cradle, right?He had no choice but to say: "Well, things in the desert can't all be good, can they? Who knew she would be frightened? Didn't you get frightened last time?"

She certainly won't be intimidated!Although her memory is a little fuzzy, she has also watched Animal World and Discovery Channel, and she has also translated the lines of insect documentaries.Shuning curled her lips and went to look at Xuxu.

Tong Ying looked at Duanning with a wry smile, Duanning patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I understand, you are also kind, but this cousin is different from my sister, she has always been timid, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable for a few days."

Tong Ying had no choice but to sigh: "Why are there so few courageous girls like your sister? The girls I meet on weekdays blush when I say it's funny, and turn blue when I talk about eating bugs." , but also put on a gentle and considerate look."

But Shuning is also putting on a gentle and considerate look at the moment, but the object is a girl.Xu Xu drank a few cups of hot tea, finally felt better, and said half-deadly: "I finally understand that big people are really different. I feel uncomfortable thinking about such days, but Brother Tongying can survive for a few days. Moon, it's really amazing."

Shu Ning curled her lips: "He is also forced by the situation, he can be picky at ordinary times, he doesn't look like a big shot at all."

Xu Xu shook her head, put her chin in a daze, and murmured: "I'm so stupid, I actually had thoughts that I shouldn't have. It's just a dream. That's not the person I'm worthy of." Then she sighed and stood up. Taking a book from the shelf, he said, "I'll just keep doing what I should do."

Shu Ning was a little confused at first, thinking that this little girl has ladylike thoughts about Tong Ying?Later, when she saw that she was holding the book, she leaned over to read it, only to see that the words "Palace Handbook" were written on it, and the paper was a bit old.

The maid Cai'er made some new tea, walked over and said, "Amitabha, the lady has remembered this. Since arriving in Fangshan, the lady has not read this handbook again. I am really afraid that the lady will forget it, and the wife will hit me if she knows." .”

Shuning hurriedly asked what was going on, and Xu Xu said: "This is something passed down in our family. I heard that it was written by an aunt who entered the palace from the ancestors. It talked about all the etiquette rules and taboos in the palace. Er Niang Tell me to memorize them all, so as not to make mistakes during the draft." She pouted and said in a low voice: "Emiang still expects me to give her face during the draft."

Shuning was a little speechless.On the way back to the room, she couldn't help but start to reflect, might she be a little too relaxed?Knowing that the draft will be held next year, I must participate, but I have no intention of preparing for it. Compared with Xu Xu who is healing the scar and carrying the palace ceremony, and Wan Ning who is learning the rules, I am so relaxed that I am almost angry.

Regarding the draft, although she hadn't formally discussed it with her parents, she probably guessed what they meant. Naturally, she hoped not to be selected, and then the family would slowly find a suitable marriage.There are three candidates for the Earl's Mansion next year. According to the practice, generally not all three sisters will be selected.Compared to the beautiful Wanning and the stable Yuanning, she is the one who is most likely to be dismissed, so neither Zhang Bao nor Tong intends to let her really "get ahead".

However, the world is unpredictable, who can say for sure?
She remembered the weight gain menu she got from Xinran, and felt it necessary to ask her mother for advice.

When Tong heard this, she couldn't help snickering, and said, "So you came up with this idea. I really want to see what my daughter looks like when she grows up fat."

Shuning pursed her lips, shaking her mother's arm coquettishly.Tong stopped laughing, stroked her hair, and said: "Silly boy, you, Ama and I don't need you to learn those palace rules and etiquette, because you do very well on weekdays, as long as the draft is approaching, please invite a nanny It is enough to teach you some general things so that you will not be rude when you run for the election. It is difficult to be selected, but it is not easy not to be selected? Our Tong family also has some face in the palace, so many beautiful female ginseng Election, as long as you don’t overdo it, no one will notice you. As long as Tong Niangniang expresses her intentions, the people below will naturally know what to do. Don’t worry, your grandmother has already agreed. If you want to be on the safe side, try what that girl Xinran did, it's not impossible, just don't damage your body, you know?"

Shuning said shyly, "Understood."

Sure in her heart, she was in a better mood, so she put her arms around her mother's neck, kissed her lightly, and acted coquettishly again.

(If you don't count the words: the result... there are still so many... No_No tomorrow...)
