Chapter 5
Ning Shuo never expected that when he came out to get some air, he would see the feast bell.

Why is she here?

His brows were deeply frowned, and he didn't have the slightest doubt that he had identified the wrong person - after he was sent to Lingnan at that time, he was also considered lonely and helpless, so the young disciple who had taught him for four years had been by his side every day Busy little girl, how can I admit my mistake?
But she should be in Lingnan at this time, how could she appear in Ningguo Mansion?

The reunion of the old man makes him fall into the doubt of whether he is awake or dreaming at this moment.

So he lost his mind for a moment and stared at her for a long time.It wasn't until she softly called cousin that he came back to his senses.

Not a dream.

He remembered.Her family had arranged for her a marriage in Kyoto.When she told him at that time, she only said that the betrothed person was the bastard of Yu Hanlin's family.Ning Shuo has been in the capital for many years, he knows that Yu Hanlin's family background is clean, he has seen that concubine, he is very motivated, smart in reading, and good-looking, it is a good marriage for her, so she is relieved.

At that time, he was dying of illness, so he tried his best to listen to her talk about this matter, and he didn't ask her how to get such a marriage. "Third Young Master Ning" didn't have anything about her in his memory, so when Mrs. Li mentioned her cousin who came to the capital to marry yesterday, he didn't expect it to be her.

He smiled slightly.It turned out to be a reunion of old friends.

It's just that things are different now, and the two can't recognize each other after all.He looked away and said apologetically, "I mistook the person, I just thought it was A Niang when she was young."

Miss Wu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "My cousin is very similar to A Niang!"

But Sheng Yanling felt more and more awkward.This cousin not only has very familiar eyes, but also the tone of his speech just now is familiar to her.But she really didn't know him.

This awkward feeling made her wish to leave here immediately.She secretly squeezed Miss Wu's hand.The fifth girl immediately understood what she meant, but she seldom lied, and she didn't know what reason to find to slip away.

It was Ning Shuo who knew this little disciple's habits, and when he saw her hand movements, he knew what she was going to do.So he coughed, "It's windy, I'm not fully recovered, so I went back."

The two little girls nodded like pounding garlic.

He smiled and turned around, feeling that life is impermanent.The person who I thought I would never see again, unexpectedly stood in front of me like this.However, Sheng Yanling saw her cousin walking... and fell silent again.

She finally remembered.Why did the cousin make her familiar!

This is the way he looks at her, the tone of his voice, and the way he walks!
She held Fifth Girl tightly in her hands, "Is Third Cousin also walking like this on weekdays?"

Miss Wu shook her head, "No, she walks faster on weekdays than now."

"But the third brother has been ill recently, A Niang said, and even his voice has become weaker."

Sheng Yanling didn't like to go out and hadn't met many men before, so she accepted it after being explained by Miss Wu, "I think he looks like my husband—probably because my husband has been ill. I think he is a weak person." , are all general gestures."

Miss Wu still protected her elder brother, so she immediately said: "Yes, yes, he is sick, we don't care about the sick."

Then he took her to the house to finish the book.When Sheng Yanling saw the box full of books, she immediately forgot about Ning Shuo.These are all Mr.'s books, and they need to be wiped one by one before putting them on the bookshelf.

Li Shi went to visit Ning Shuo again in the afternoon.Then she divided her heart into two parts, asked the little girl to see what Sheng Yanling was doing, if she needed anything, she turned her head and asked Ning Shuo, "I heard you went for a walk in the morning? Did you see your cousin?"

Ning Shuo: "Yes, she is very similar to you."

Li Shi was very happy, but she said: "I look like her mother, but she looks like her mother."

After a while, the little girl came back, "Biao girl is packing up books with fifth girl. Biao girl has several boxes of books."

Li Shi: "I didn't expect this! These two girls are book lovers."

Ning Guogong's heirs are young, and although the fourth and fifth children are concubines, she has never treated them badly, so they are very close.She was also happy to see the two girls playing well.

She said: "I also have a few miscellaneous books in my room, send them to them."

Ning Shuo knew what was going on just by hearing the little girl say that Sheng Yanling was packing up her books.When she was in Lingnan before, she liked to take out the books to dry in the sun when the sun came out, and then put the books back in the evening light.

One by one was taken off the shelf, and one by one was put back, enjoying it forever.

He was in a daze for a while, and then said to Li Shi: "Aniang, I also have a few books, let's give them to my cousin and fifth sister."

This also works!She also hopes that her sons and daughters will treat Shengyan Bell better.

She said: "Your cousin is alone in the capital. I can still take care of her at home, but I need your help outside. I can't let her be bullied."

Now seeing them get along well, I am very happy.

The little girl delivered the book, and came back happily: "Madam, young master, the two girls have returned the gift."

She opened the small box in her hand and said, "The fifth girl gave a copy of Spring Pavilion Court Training, and Biao girl gave a copy of Lingnan Travels."

As soon as Ning Shuo heard the title of the book, he understood very well: It seems that she doesn't like him very much now.

Lingnan Travel Notes was a gift from her when she went to the bookstore to buy books.This book is very common in Lingnan, and she doesn't pay much attention to it among the many books.However, it is also suitable to send to cousins ​​in Kyoto.

So after sending them back and forth like this, it was time for dinner.

Li said: "You are still sick, so you won't have dinner with us. Tonight I asked the small kitchen to cook Lingnan dishes for Yanling, and I asked your second sister-in-law and Xiaowu to eat with her. Waiting for you When you are healthy, if you like to eat, I will ask someone to cook for you, Lingnan cuisine is very good."

She left happily.But before they left for a long time, they saw the second young lady walking towards her in a hurry, "Aniang, grandma told us to go."

Li Shi's face sank.The old lady!I don't know what to do again!
She patted her daughter-in-law's hand, "Don't worry about it, I'll deal with her."

The second young lady sighed.She originally thought that she married well - her mother-in-law was a good one, her husband was a good one, and her sister-in-law and uncle-in-law were all good.Who knew that the old lady was a noisy one.Fortunately, her mother-in-law loves her and takes care of her in everything, which keeps her from being wronged.

But the human heart is fleshy, and the mother-in-law cherishes her, and she loves her mother-in-law, but she can't beat Mrs. Tai, so she can only help her mother-in-law share the burden.

She has always been gentle, so she couldn't help but say at this time: "Why do you always act like a demon!"

Li Shi felt comfortable listening, but she also persuaded her, "Don't talk nonsense, lest people will listen to you."

Your Majesty governs the world with filial piety, and the old lady is clever, so they generally can only accept it.Sure enough, after entering the Shoukang Hall, the old lady smiled and said: "It's a good thing! Isn't Shuo'er always sick recently? I will burn incense and pray every day, and pray to the Bodhisattva to keep him healthy."

"The Bodhisattva heard my prayer, and entrusted me with a dream at noon today, asking us to go to the temple to offer incense, and to offer [-] Amitabha Sutras and [-] Ksitigarbha Sutras to the Bodhisattva. .”

She looked at Mrs. Li, "The Bodhisattva said that the one who gave birth to him should copy it himself, so as to protect Shuo'er's health. Otherwise, he will be sick, and he will have another serious illness someday."

Li Shi trembled with anger.

This is really vicious, knowing how to exploit her weakness.

Li Shi is a Buddhist.When Ning Shuo fell ill three months ago, there was no cure, so she had to kneel in front of the Buddhist hall for three days and three nights, begging the Bodhisattva to return her son to him.Later when Ning Shuo woke up, Li thought it was the Bodhisattva who heard her prayer and appeared, so she ate vegetarian for three months, and only started meat a few days ago.

So the old lady used the Bodhisattva's dream-like rhetoric to train her to copy the scriptures, and she had to go.I have to copy it sincerely, for fear that the Bodhisattva will blame me and make Ning Shuo fall ill again.

The Second Young Madam felt sorry for her mother-in-law, but she had no choice but to say, "I'll help my mother-in-law study ink."

Shengyan Bell was supposed to wait for her aunt to eat, but the little maid said to let her eat first: "Madam and Second Young Madam have both gone to Shoukang Hall."

She had no choice but to eat with the fifth girl first, and before they finished eating, she heard that her aunt was going to copy the Amitabha Sutra and the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

Miss Wu's face flushed with anger, and she told Sheng Yanling what was going on here, and she was dumbfounded.

This is really... so vicious.This should be copied to death!

She shuddered.A Niang used to say that my aunt was pitiful, that she had been tortured, that the old lady was vicious and ruthless, she didn't really feel it before, and always listened to it as a story, but now she really felt it, and she just felt aggrieved and depressed.

It turns out that there is still such a way to train people in Kyoto!

She felt sorry for her aunt.

"Is there no way not to copy scriptures?"

The fifth girl sighed, "My mother will copy it. When the third brother fell ill, my mother made a vow in front of the Bodhisattva, and she will do whatever the Bodhisattva asks her to do. She believes in this."

This is difficult.Sheng Yanling frowned, "But it can't really copy."

I have to find a way to make my aunt avoid this, otherwise my hand will really be useless.
