Ordinary clear day

Chapter 158 Trivia
The next days passed smoothly. Shuning still went to class every day, practiced talent and helped her mother housekeeper. Zhang Bao and his wife were busy preparing for the autumn harvest. Apart from reading and reviewing, Duanning practiced riding and archery and taught her two younger brothers , everyone in the family has their own duties.

Not long after, the Lu and Li families held their wedding. They not only held a large banquet to receive their relatives and friends, but also invited the county magistrate to be the officiant and the school officials to testify.For a while, the unfavorable rumors against Ms. Lu dissipated, and many people said that she married a wealthy family, and that she was really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.Due to the large number of guests, in order to arrange enough tables and chairs, the Lu and Li families also greeted Zhang Bao in advance, and occupied most of the passageway shared by the three families.

Master Lu said that he would not give a dowry, but in fact his heart softened a long time ago. The more he looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied he became, and he felt that he was very worthy of his family.The son-in-law said he didn't want his money, wouldn't he give it to his daughter?The daughter has a private house, so she won't suffer, and she doesn't have to worry about her uncle getting greedy.On the other hand, Mr. Li was thinking that the private house of his niece and daughter-in-law was equivalent to his nephew's private house. How could old man Lu be dissatisfied with such a good nephew?That dowry must be a lot.

The two elders each have their own stomachs, but on the surface it is better to be extremely affectionate, making those who know that they are not getting along secretly surprised.

Zhang Shouxiao did not attend the wedding, but afterward, Li Wensi still brought his newlyweds to meet Zhang Bao and his wife and bid farewell, because he had to rush back to his hometown to pay respects to his parents. Will not be coming again.Zhang Bao felt a little regretful, and after speaking some words of encouragement, he found out that the magistrate in his hometown turned out to be the brother of an old Fengtian colleague.After thinking about it again and again, he wrote a letter of recommendation to Li Wensi, asking him to take the letter to see the magistrate if necessary, so that he might be able to find an errand.Li Wensi thanked you again and again.

In the inner hall, Tong brought her daughter and niece to meet Lu Ziyu, only to realize that she was not actually disfigured, but someone with good deeds spread rumors. Seeing that she is married now, she looks even more charming and charming, and her behavior is also good. It is much more dignified, and I like it a little.

Xuxu and Lu Ziyu have the best friendship, and they are very reluctant to part with each other, but Lu Ziyu calmly gave her a fan with paintings and poems written by himself as a thought, and when Li Wensi said he wanted to leave, she left up.

Xu Xu felt a little lost, and Shuning knew that she was reluctant to part with the first friend she made back, so she persuaded her: "There is always a banquet in the world, let's say goodbye today, and she will come back in the future, let alone Mr. Li three years later." If I want to go to Beijing to take the exam again, her natal family is right across the door from us, so she won't go back to her natal family, right?" Xu Xu thought about it, and felt a little better.

However, she held the fan and looked at it over and over for two days, her face was very strange.Seeing her like this, Shu Ning felt a little puzzled. It is very common to send fans in summer, why does she always look at them?
In the end, Xu Xu solved the mystery by herself: "When I first met Ms. Lu last year, I read the poems and paintings she wrote and thought they were very good, but the poems and paintings on this fan are just ordinary. Could it be that she is deliberately perfunctory?" Mine? It's really useless for me to treat her as a close friend!" After speaking, he threw the fan on the table.

Shu Ning took it over and looked at it, and felt that it was no different from last year's. She thought about it, but she understood the reason: "My sister made a mistake. In fact, Miss Lu's poems and paintings are not different, the only difference is that Sister's eyes."

Xuxu last year was just a weak and delicate girl who was worried about the scars on her face all day long, and her aunt was spoiled, so not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry, even ordinary female celebrities do not often do it, but I understand It's just some superficial writing, and I've read a few of the Fourth Nvshu.

But now Xu Xu has learned the talent from Mr. Cai for a few months, and has read a few poems and articles in her belly. Even if she can't write, she still knows some famous allusions, and she can recognize the rhymes and so on.Even if it is painting, I will draw a few strokes in person every two or three days.Thinking about Lu Ziyu's conceited talent, he just learned a little superficially from the teacher, which is good for laymen, but in the eyes of Xuxu, who is barely a newcomer, it is naturally bad.

After listening to Shuning's explanation, Xu Xu also felt that this was the truth, and she was also happy that her friend did not perfunctory herself.But soon, she thought of another thing: she didn't think so at first, but obviously, she has learned a lot of things compared to when she first came here, and she has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, does it mean that she has also become a talented woman? ?

Shu Ning was a little dumbfounded, but reluctantly nodded in order not to dampen her enthusiasm.Xu Xu's face flushed with joy, and she said again: "So, I'm not losing to...then who is it?" She cautiously stretched out two fingers and shook them.

Knowing that she was referring to Wanning, Shu Ning held back her smile and said, "Yes, but let's not imitate others to show off, just know it yourself, and let them know your ability after seeing your aunt and uncle. Must be very happy."

Xu Xu rolled his eyes, nodded with a smile, and said: "At that time, I will tell my mother, that now I not only know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learn to play nets, make very beautiful purses, and learn how to play well." There are several ways to make pasta. I am the best at making dumplings, and I can make thirteen kinds of fillings..."

Shu Ning was happy with her for a while, but she suddenly stopped laughing and became depressed: "It's a pity that the scar on my face still can't be removed. The imperial doctor said that it can only be cured to this extent."

Xu Xu finished her treatment before she came to Fangshan. According to the imperial physician, she just needs to continue to apply the potion at bedtime according to the prescription. But after a few months, the scar still has some very light marks, but it is slightly darker than her skin tone. You can't see it unless you look closely.

Shu Ning stared at her scar carefully, and smiled: "Actually, I have two ways to solve it. The first one, the old way, just apply a thin layer of powder on it and cover it. It's just troublesome."

Xu Xu asked feebly, "What about the second one?"

Shu Ning said: "Actually, my sister's scar is slightly darker in color. If you hadn't used those whitening products for a long time, I'm afraid it would have disappeared by now. So, my sister only needs to stay under the sun for a quarter of an hour every day. After a few days, the skin is tanned as dark as a scar, and naturally it can't be seen."

Xu Xu's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, it's a good idea, let's do it like this!"

She really stood under the sun for a quarter of an hour every day, but luckily Shuning stopped her and told her to change the time from afternoon to morning or evening, otherwise she would have fainted from heatstroke.Later, Shu Ning felt that this was not very decent, so she simply took her to practice archery together. After exercising and basking in the sun, she could also practice archery by the way.

Shu Ning practiced a lot now, and her arrow skills have improved a lot. Basically, she can maintain the eighth or ninth circle within thirty feet. Most of them can touch the rabbit fur.It's a pity that Xianning, whom she took as a target, has reached the point where six or seven out of ten arrows can hit the rabbit's body, and she hates her teeth itching.

I didn't expect Xu Xu to cum a few times, but she is very talented. Although she is still delicate and weak, she can often hit the bull's-eye, which can be compared with Xianning.Shuning turned her head away, not to look at her and the two monkeys who were proud of themselves.

In fact, the reason why she has been diligent in practicing arrows recently is because she thinks that next year's draft is only half a year away, no matter what she wants to do, she should start preparing.She still wants to try ways to gain weight, but if she wants to gain weight and lose weight, it is very easy to damage her body, so she should lay a good foundation first, so she gets up early every day to run a few laps in the martial arts field, and practice arrows for half an hour in the afternoon. After that, I take a walk for a quarter of an hour, and then take the time to walk in the garden once or twice every day.

This method is quite effective, and with the attention paid to diet, she is getting healthier and stronger now. She can open half of the bow Duanning uses, and even if she runs around the house, she doesn't feel out of breath.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Cai and Mr. Yang both asked for leave and left. Mrs. Tong planned to have a good time in another courtyard.Since their family returned to Fangshan Bieyuan in April, apart from Duan Ning who regularly went back to the Earl's Mansion for the night, and Zhang Bao who occasionally returned to Beijing to inquire about some information, Tong's Shuning and other female family members did not return to Beijing for nearly four months. up.The Earl's Mansion didn't say anything, just sent people to send things to greet him from time to time, and there was nothing wrong with it.Tong's family was also happy and relaxed, so they didn't even go back to the house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and waited until September, when they were going to prepare for a big feast.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family went into the garden after dinner and asked someone to set up tea and fruit in Linyuan Pavilion. They ate fruit mooncakes while admiring the moon and chatting.Smell bursts of lotus fragrance, really very freehand.

Shu Ning wrote a large character on the spot, it was a famous poem to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Bao Tong praised it well.Duanning read his younger sister's handwriting, and his heart itched, so he also wrote a bigger and more powerful handwriting, and winked at his younger sister after finishing writing.Shu Ning curled her lips, asked Dongqing to change to another big paper, wrote "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" in running script, and then raised her eyebrows at her brother.Duanning cleared his throat and was about to ask someone to change the paper, but his father stopped him.

Zhang Bao said with a smile: "You child is about to marry a wife, why are you still fighting with your sister? Don't let your cousin see the joke." Old Duan Ning blushed, and said yes in a low voice.Shuning glanced at him triumphantly, and ran to her mother to chat and laugh.

Xu Xu also performed a qin tune that she had practiced for a long time. Although the technique was not very clever, the beautiful night scenery and the autumn moon in the Pinghu Lake made the qin music become moving.There was the sound of horses galloping by on the avenue in the distance. Hearing the sound of the piano, he couldn't help but slow down his pace, and only left when the music was over.

Xu Xu's talent show won unanimous praise from everyone.The little girl was so excited, her face flushed red.She wanted Shuning to play one too, but Shuning said that she was tired from writing, so she didn't play it.

Everyone had a very happy night, and on the nineteenth day, it was Shuning's birthday, and Mrs. Tong still had a table in the garden to celebrate her daughter's birthday.

A few days later, my aunt Tatara came over suddenly.

When Xu Xu saw her mother, she threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.He felt guilty and heartbroken at the same time. If it wasn't for the cunning vixen who didn't clean up until recently, she would have freed up her hands to pick up her daughter, and she wouldn't have left her sweetheart alone in Beijing for so long, even during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Couldn't spend time with family.In order to avoid conflicts at home, she can only stay for half a month at most when she comes back this time, and she will leave after the feast with full clothes is over.

After Xu Xu calmed down, she told her mother about the past half a year - of course, it was only on the surface that he noticed that her daughter had changed.But obviously this is a good change, she is very happy in her heart, and thinks that the tutor of the third younger brother's family is really good.In the evening, after his daughter reported to her what he had seen and heard in secret, he, Tara, was even more grateful to Tong, and from the next day, he became intimate with the third brother and his wife.

Obviously, both Zhang Bao and Tong are not quite used to her changes.Zhang Bao was even more busy with the autumn harvest, so he had no time to socialize with his sister who was not very close to him. Fortunately, he knew that he was busy with business, so he let him go early.Duanning listened to his aunt's greetings, then he reasoned that he wanted to learn some skills from his father, and ran away, leaving only Tong Shi to face him and Tarla Shi.Tong Shi and this aunt actually have different views on many things, and their temperaments are not very congenial, but she has always been kind to others, so she had to bite the bullet and joke with him.

After class, Shuning and Xu Xu went to the main room to greet their mothers, and Tong was a little relieved, and his attention was drawn by his daughter.But this relaxed moment didn't last long. After lunch break, he saw his daughter doing complicated needlework, so he went to Tong's room to chat with her.This time, Mrs. Tong got smarter, brought the topic to Xu Xu, and praised her in secret. As expected, he kept talking about her daughter, and Ms. Tong only needed to say "really?" , "Really?", "It's amazing", but it's easy.It wasn't until Shen Shi that the steward reported that she had something to deal with, and she got away.

When Shuning was practicing calligraphy, she was called by her mother.Tong frowned and said to her: "Tongying is here. She seems to be in a bad mood. She said she doesn't want to see outsiders, so she has already gone to the water pavilion. I want to accompany your aunt, and I don't want her to know about these things. Why don't you go to the garden to see what else he needs, don't be negligent."
