Chapter 7 Qilin
After Mrs. Li came out from Mrs. Ning, she took the second young lady to the Buddhist hall.

As everyone has guessed, ever since Ning Shuo fell ill like a mountain, she has tasted the suffering, and she has a heart of reverence for the gods and gods of the heavens and the earth.

Now that the old lady said this, even though she knew that nine points were false, she was still afraid, so she came to the Buddhist hall to kneel for half an hour.

The Second Young Madam supported her back and rubbed her legs, but she waved her hands and said, "My legs are fine, but I want you to help me see how the two girls are doing."

She sighed: "Such a thing happened as soon as the banquet bell came. It might scare her. Please help me to comfort me. I am really tired today, so I won't see her."

The Second Young Madam went away in response, and as soon as she reached the gate of the small courtyard where Sheng Yanling lived, she saw her and Fifth Miss sitting in the courtyard, each of them holding a bamboo basket with some thick blue and red threads in it. There are scissors, a small amount of cloth, and a picture of a unicorn.

The two sat close to each other, whispering together, and when they saw her, their eyes lit up, they threw away the basket in their hands, ran over to help her sit down, and said happily, "Second sister-in-law, But do you have a letter?"

The Second Young Madam didn't understand what he meant, "Why do you have a letter?"

Sheng Yanling and Miss Wu looked at each other disappointedly.They thought that the second young lady was here to announce the good news.Then she told about the matter of going to Ning Shuo, and the fifth girl sighed: "Third brother went to the study to meet his father and second brother. When you came, we thought it was over."

The Second Young Madam looked at Sheng Yanling in shock, and then happily asked, "What idea did you come up with?"

Yan Yanling nodded lightly, "Yes."

The Second Young Madam praised: "None of us thought of this good idea, Yan Ling, you are very smart."

In a family like theirs, the mother-in-law has thousands of ways to fight against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law also has all kinds of methods to fight back against her mother-in-law, but no matter who it is, it seems that they keep men out. She hadn't really thought of the idea.

She said: "Father is also a sensible person, and he will definitely agree. Don't worry."

This family is actually very good, only the grandmother is really annoying.

Then he pointed to the bamboo basket and asked, "What are you doing?"

Sheng Yanling said embarrassingly: "It's a custom in the South of the Five Ridges. If someone in the family is sick, they weave a few unicorns and hang them on their bodies."

In the past, she always wove clothes for her husband. If she wove too much, he would string them together and hang them in front of the bed, like a bed curtain.

The fifth girl also answered: "Mother is worried about the third brother, so let's make something for the third brother to hang on his body, so that the third brother can be healthy and make the mother feel better."

The second young lady smiled with satisfaction, "You are all good girls."

Then he said: "Then you can make a few first, I will take them back to my mother later, and ask her to give it to my third brother."

Feast Bell nodded.She can weave a little unicorn with her eyes closed, and after a long time, she can weave different styles. Even if it is not for blessing, it can be placed at home to watch and play.Her hands are very dexterous, several different threads shuttled back and forth in her hands, and after a while, a radiant little unicorn came out.

Miss Wu shook the hand of the feast bell, "Can you weave one for me too? It's really beautiful."

Shengyan Bell boasted: "I'll make one for everyone!"

Just not to the old lady.

At this moment, Miss Wu's servant girl ran back with sweat on her face—she was sent to the front yard to keep an eye on her. When they saw her, the two girls were very nervous, "What's the matter?"

The servant girl said: "It's done, it's done, the servant girl saw the third young master at the moon gate in the front yard, and the third young master asked me to tell the girls that the master promised to copy the scriptures, so he went to find the old lady. I am in a hurry, and I will not be allowed to copy books, and I will not talk about Bodhisattva, but only say that dreams are reversed—"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help secretly laughing, apparently also finding the old lady's words ridiculous.

Sheng Yanling and the fifth girl hugged each other, and the second young lady, like a general who had won a battle, took out silver to reward the fourth army, and gave one coin to each of the maids present - it can be seen that she was aggrieved too long.

She became a fortune-telling boy once, and hurriedly took the little unicorn made of feast bells back to announce the good news.As a result, when she went, she met her husband and third brother sitting by her mother-in-law's bed and waiting for her to take medicine.

He didn't see his father-in-law, so he should still be with the old lady.

She went over with a smile, and when she saw her mother-in-law smiling, she knew that she already knew what had happened.Then he took out the unicorn and showed her, "A good girl has come to our house, look, look, what is this?"

Li Shi was delighted, "This is what Yanling made, right? I know this, and her mother made it up for me before."

Then she looked at Ning Shuo, "Your cousin is kind to me, and you are also blessed, this must be for you."

Ning Shuo was very familiar with this, but he was still stunned for a moment.I didn't expect to get the little unicorn she made up in Kyoto.

He stretched out his hand, grasped the unicorn with his slender fingers, and held it in his hand.The familiar touch in his hands reminded him of when he first arrived in Lingnan a long time ago.At that time, she had no intention of teaching her to read, so she kindly made him a unicorn.

He glanced coldly, then turned his head, and didn't answer, she stepped on her little boots again and turned to his eyes, smiling cautiously, her eyes narrowed as she smiled, and she kept holding the unicorn with both hands, Begging and pity: "Sir, please teach me, I know, you are very knowledgeable."

Ning Shuo thought, he later soft-heartedly agreed to teach her, and he didn't agree suddenly, it should be because of her repeated flattery and smiling eyes that made him feel comfortable, that's why he added something to himself while waiting to die. .

Once this thing is done, his life will be full of fireworks.In the morning, she came to him with a small basket filled with pens, inks, papers and inkstones, cooked him breakfast, cleaned the yard for him, and asked him to explain the words in the book.He didn't know how to teach him at first, so he only taught her to ask questions. Later, he tried to ask her a few questions, and she was very happy, and made him a few more little unicorns.

"Sir, you will be fine. A good person like you will surely live a long life!"

"—This unicorn can bless you for a long life. Shuo'er, you must thank Yanling very much." Li Shi was very happy, but she didn't notice that he was distracted, and said in a good mood: "I will copy it for you tomorrow too. Amitabha Sutra, when the time comes, enshrine it to the Buddha to bless you in good health."

Ning Shuo sighed, "Mother, I'm already recovering, so don't worry. The scriptures can be copied, just copy it once. The Buddha is merciful, and he will definitely not blame you."

Li clapped his hands in relief and told them to go back first, "Your father will be back later, I have something to say to him."

It is inconvenient for children.

The three walked out.When Ning Guogong came back, the smile on Li's face was no longer there, but with sadness, he said: "The children are doing this for my own good, so don't be angry."

Ning Guogong always has a solemn appearance that talks less and laughs less - the second young master is very much like him.Hearing what his wife said, he waved his hand, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's my mother's fault."

Then he said, "This time Shuo'er took the initiative to tell me about this matter, it is also because he has grown up and has filial piety. I am too happy to scold him."

but……

He said, "Since he fell ill, he has become much calmer. Sure enough, the children still have to experience some setbacks."

Li quickly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm willing to keep them as children for the rest of their lives. Don't suffer from any more illnesses."

Duke Ning: "..."

He said solemnly: "A loving mother often loses her children."

He said again: "There are a lot of things today, I'll go to the study to sleep, you go to bed earlier."

At first, Li was concerned that if Ning Guogong saw that Shuoer was not responsible for the idea of ​​asking him to copy scriptures together, he would say something nice for Yanling, but now seeing that he didn't doubt or care, he hurriedly said, Don't say anything, just ask people to go to the big kitchen and send him some supper in the evening, and then let people watch the movement in the old lady's yard.

The next day, Sheng Yanling received a message saying that the old lady was ill and she was not seeing anyone, so naturally there was no need to pay her respects.Li Shi still hugged her and whispered to her ears: "It is said that a silk-wrapped white agate saucer was broken in her room last night, and five small white-powder Ding kiln tea saucers!"

Yan Yanling covered her mouth and laughed, the whole room was full of joy.
