Ordinary clear day

Chapter 45 Wanning
When the old lady heard the voice of her most beloved granddaughter, how could she still have the majestic appearance before?You have already lost your eyesight from laughing: "Monkey, I knew you were the best at finding food, and you came here when you smelled the smell of food."

Wanning rushed over, grabbed her grandmother's neck, and said coquettishly, "Grandma's words made me feel like a glutton. It's too much. It's all because the food here is so good. Otherwise, why would I be so greedy?" Can't bear it after smelling it?" The old lady was so elated that she lost sight of others.

Shu Ning almost straightened her eyes, but a thin voice came from her ear: "Granddaughter greets grandma. Greetings aunt. Greetings mother. Greetings aunt." Turning her head, she saw that it was a girl with a A little girl about my own age, wearing an egg white flag dress and the same hair style as Wanning, has delicate features, but is not as beautiful as Wanning.It seems that this is the fourth girl Yuanning.

The old lady just waved her hands casually, and hugged Wanning to ask questions. Yuanning curled her lips and turned to Suo Chuoluo's side.

Nala didn't wait for her daughter to finish acting coquettishly, and said: "Why are you so unruly, only pestering your grandma? Come quickly and meet your third aunt and sister."

It was only then that Wanning realized that Tong Shi and Shu Ning were sitting next to her, and hurriedly came over to salute with a smile, and said, "I neglected Auntie, don't take offense, Auntie." Before Tong Shi could say it was okay, she caught Shuning's hand Hands, eyes wide open looking up and down.Shu Ning was stunned, thinking that this situation was very familiar, so it would be better not to say "I've seen this sister before".

Who knows that Wanning suddenly thought of something funny, and held back, saying, "I've met this younger sister before." (Shuning: I'm embarrassing!)

However, she quickly added: "It's not that I've met, but I just looked at Mian Shan, and I feel like I've known him before." Yuan Ning twitched the corner of her mouth on the opposite side: "Could it be that I met you in the previous life?" Wan Ning said with a smile: "Who knows? Maybe it is." Then he pulled Shuning and talked affectionately.Shu Ning found that she had two dimples, and she smiled very sweetly.I have to say, this pretty little girl is really cute.

The old lady still smiled at Mimi: "That's good, the sisters will get along more harmoniously in the future."

The servants reported that the meal was ready, and the old lady waved, and all the people moved to the next room to eat.

When Shuning was in Fengtian, Mrs. Tong was very strict with her in terms of etiquette, especially at the dinner table. Therefore, not only did she hold the chopsticks to choke on the food very gracefully, but she also strictly abided by the rules of not talking when eating. I was amazed and felt that "so I will have such a beautiful lady one day".I heard that the big family has strict rules, so Shu Ning is very serious about doing what her mother taught her.

Unexpectedly, when they were at the dinner table this time, the jaws of the mother and daughter almost dropped.Wanning coaxed the old lady non-stop, and often brought her delicious food, and Li Shi, who was standing by and serving the dishes, was about to be laid off.The grandfather and grandson were chatting and laughing, how can there be any rules of the big family?

Seeing that Tong's mother and daughter were very surprised, Nala said, "Don't laugh at the third brother and sister. My girl is the most unruly girl. The old lady likes her like this." Tong quickly laughed and said, "It's so harmonious Lele is happy, Miss Wan is really likable."

The old lady looked at her granddaughter lovingly: "I love to hear these words. Among my many granddaughters, the second girl is the most caring." As soon as she said this, Yuanning became unhappy, and Tong looked at her. Daughter, also a bit embarrassed.Fang Ning ate with her head down, as if she didn't care at all.

Wan Ning smiled and said to Shu Ning: "Third sister is really polite when eating, in fact, the whole family doesn't need these vain manners, isn't it happier to talk and laugh?" Shu Ning smiled, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then responded Voice: "Sister said yes."

Yuanning next to her glanced at her and continued eating.

The procedure of rinsing mouth after a meal is very similar to that in "Dream of Red Mansions". Shuning is very glad that she did not forget the episodes she watched many years ago, otherwise when the cup of mouthwash tea is served, she will definitely be overwhelmed by the fresh scent of jasmine. If you cheated and drank it directly, it would be a big joke.

Really, it's just the earl's mansion, why do you want to imitate the mansion of the Duke's family?

A group of women returned to the room just now to talk, Wanning continued to please her grandmother, Yuanning continued to curl her lips, Tong Shi and Shu Ning continued to be the silent family together with Li Shi and Fang Ning, only occasionally answering a few sentences.After a while, someone came from outside the door to report: "The third master and the fourth young master have come to pay their respects to the old lady."

After a while, the curtain was raised, Zhang Bao came in with Duanning, and kowtowed again.After saying a few words to her son, the old lady drove him to meet her brothers, leaving only her grandson to accompany her.

Duanning is 12 years old this year, and he is [-] years old. He already has good facial features and delicate features.He has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and has a healthy body. He looks taller than boys of the same age. In addition, he has studied for many years, which adds to the scholarly atmosphere.Shuning often joked that when he stood up and smiled, the wives, wives, aunts and aunts wished that he was their son.Although Shu Ning suffered a brain collapse from her brother as soon as she said these words, it still makes sense.

The old lady carefully looked at her grandson, whom she had not seen for many years, nodded with satisfaction, and then pulled him to the other side of her seat to sit down and talk.

Wanning looked at Duanning for a while, then took her grandmother's hand and said coquettishly, "This brother is so nice, why isn't he my real brother?" Duanning smiled and said, "What are you talking about, sister? Could it be that I am not?" Is your brother?" Wanning looked up at him, blinked cutely, and asked: "Really?" Duanning nodded with a smile, and she smiled happily: "From then on, you will treat me like your own sister Oh." The old lady stroked her head lovingly.

Yuanning sneered from below, and glanced at Shuning.Tong frowned, but said nothing.Shu Ning felt a little sour in her heart, but she soon calmed down.Because when she saw her elder brother talking and laughing with her grandmother and cousin, the smile on her face hadn't changed, it was that kind of gentle smile.She has seen this kind of expression a lot, as long as her brother meets other wives who are pulling him to talk and can't get rid of it, he always smiles like this. On the surface he looks very good, but in fact he has long been impatient.That's right, how could my good brother be kidnapped so easily?Shu Ning looked at the picture of grandparents and grandchildren having fun in front of her in a good mood, when Leng May see Duan Ning looking over, she blinked her right eye.

She is in a better mood.

The conversation lasted for almost an hour, the old lady was a bit tired, so Wanning was the only one left, and the others were sent away.Shu Ning followed her elder brother to pay respects to her uncles, and when she returned to her courtyard, it was nearly a night.

Their family lived in the courtyard where Zhang Bao used to live, named Huaiyuan, which was a little far from the main house, with Qingyun Lane outside the wall on one side, and the wall of the Earl's Mansion beyond.There are three big locust trees planted in the middle of the yard, under the trees are a few stone tables and chairs, and a few pots of flowers and plants are placed beside them.There are houses on three sides of the courtyard, the main house has three fronts and two ears. The three main houses are the places and residences for Zhang Bao and Tong’s couple to meet guests. It's the study room, the other is Duanning's room, and the two rooms in the west wing, besides Shuning's residence, there is another empty room, and another side room for other maids and daughter-in-laws to live in.There is an aisle at the back of the main house, which leads to a small backyard, where several huts are built, which are also the residences of the servants.

Changfu and Ermo had their own residences, in several courtyards behind the mansion, Ma Saner and his wife also went to his second uncle's house, and the old Wutou was arranged early in the courtyard near the stable where the coachmen lived. Chang Gui lived with the other servants in the mansion, and only Qiu Ju and Chun Xing lived with the masters in the same yard.

Nala sent a few wives, and only said that the others would come tomorrow morning.After driving for so long that day, after entering the mansion, I greeted and met people everywhere. Everyone was so exhausted that they washed up casually and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the whole family got up.Because she was still preparing to visit her mother's house in the afternoon, Mrs. Tong directed several servants to pack gifts.There are not enough manpower, and everyone is in a hurry.

At this time someone came to the door, it was the waiter in the old lady's house, that pretty girl in green that I saw yesterday, named Cuiying, came to ask how the four of them slept well last night, and if there was anything wrong It is useful, and I asked it carefully.She looks pretty, but she speaks and behaves very gently, and she loves to laugh, so she is easy to be liked by others. Mrs. Tong and the others are very polite to her.

She also respectfully asked them to speak up if there was anything uncomfortable about their stay.Zhang Bao said calmly: "This is at my home. If there is anything to order, we will naturally say, you don't have to worry about it." Then he went out.

Cuiying was embarrassed for a while, and it happened that a steward outside brought a group of male and female servants, which were assigned by Nala's family to Sanfang, so she took the opportunity to resign.

The newcomers consisted of six girls and two boys, and they were assigned as follows: an older and more honest servant girl, Suyun, and a daughter-in-law in her thirties, Wang Ruibao's family, who were in charge of taking care of Tong's daily life; The pretty girl waited on Shuning; the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls named Shuxiang and Moxiang, who had beautiful features and could read a few words, were assigned to Duanning; The little actor I bought a few years ago was born as a rough envoy girl.As for the male servants, Wang Ruibao followed Zhang Bao, his son Wang Gui followed Duanning, and worked as a servant with Huzi.

The one from Wang Ruibao's family happened to be the daughter-in-law who was going to help Shuning yesterday. He had served the second wife, Suo Chuoluo, and the concubine of the big house, so he had rich experience.Her husband, Wang Ruibao, is the son of Nanny Wang under the old lady. The whole family is respectable, but they have never been able to get good jobs.Only Changfu and Ermo's husband and wife can be counted as the third house, and they followed here because they wanted to get ahead.

The pretty Qiao Yun seemed to know Qiu Ju, but they didn't have a good relationship. When their eyes met, even Shu Ning could see the crackling of lightning.

Tong's lectures to the new servants are nothing more than the rules of three households and three households, and work honestly and don't be lazy in the future.Shu Ning noticed that Shu Xiang and Mo Xiang were always distracted when they were listening to the training, and their eyes kept looking to the side. When she saw it, it turned out that it was Duan Ning standing there.It seems that these two maids are pre-appointed as the fourth young master's future concubines, otherwise how could they be so bold to put autumn spinach?However, she was a little speechless, wondering who arranged it?Although her brother is said to be thirteen years old, he is still a boy! ! !It's the age of junior high school, isn't it too early to arrange these?

Duanning had noticed it a long time ago, and he seemed to know it well. He turned his head and saw his sister looking at him strangely, shaking his head and smiling wryly.

After the training, the people dispersed and went to do their own things.Chun Xing picked up the curtain and entered the room, and reported, "Second Miss and Fourth Miss are here."
