Ordinary clear day

Chapter 46 Discord
Wanning and Yuanning came together, and after greeting Tong, Wanning directly asked why Duanning was missing.Tong Shi said with a faint smile: "I just went to the front, I'm afraid the old master wants to study his martial arts." Wanning felt that it was a pity, but Shuning was still there, so she directly took her back to the room and whispered .

Wanning is a person who is easy to get acquainted with. Although we met for the first time yesterday, today he has acted as cordial as an old friend for many years.She enthusiastically introduced to Shuning the fun places in central Beijing and the delicious snacks and delicacies, invited her to hang out with her, and introduced her to many "interesting" friends.Yuanning just sat and looked around the room, sometimes pinching the petals on the newly inserted vase of flowers, looking a little bored.

After Wanning asked about Shuning's daily hobbies, she had already changed the topic to her own life hobbies, and Shuning also listened with interest.This kind of close contact in the daily life of a lady from a rich family is not possible every day, and you can ask any questions. Take this opportunity to inquire first, so as not to be timid when talking to others in the future.

Yuanning was bored playing with the decorations on the bed, but became interested in a pillow.It was originally made by Shu Ning last autumn. It used soft satin as the material, and stuffed it with cotton to make it into a cylindrical shape. It just fits in your arms, so soft and comfortable.She also embroidered ribbon embroidery on it as a decoration, and it was this special embroidery that attracted the fourth lady's attention right now.

Yuanning brought the pillow in front of Shuning, and asked, "Third sister, what kind of embroidery method are you doing? It's so beautiful." Shuning explained to her: "This is embroidered with ribbons and ribbons, and then embroidered with various colors. Lace and beads for decoration, I call it ribbon embroidery. If my sister likes it, may I give you one?"

The little girl was actually very easy to coax, Yuanning immediately frowned, and said: "Thank you, third sister, but I also have a school girl, sister can teach me how to do it?" Shuning said yes.

Wanning took the pillow and looked at it carefully, and said strangely: "Huh? How did the third sister know this kind of embroidery? Isn't this something from the French court? There should be no foreigners in Fengtian, right? Where did the third sister learn it?"

Before Shu Ning could speak, Chun Xing, who was waiting by the door, spoke first: "Our girl came up with this idea, and didn't learn it from others. The girl originally planned to decorate the box, but she came up with this later. She personally experienced the process of Shuning making ribbon embroidery, and felt that the second girl's words were a bit harsh.

Yuanning cast a glance at Wanning when she heard the words: "Did you hear that? The third sister came up with it herself, and the second sister should stop putting money on her face. Could it be that you are the only one who is smart, and no one else can make good things?" Is it gone?"

Wanning frowned: "Fourth sister, you are here again, why did I put gold on my face? I was just telling the truth, why are you deliberately picking on my thorns?"

Yuanning raised her eyebrows and said sharply: "Last year, cousin Xuxu got a beautiful lace skirt, and you said that she learned from foreigners. She doesn't even know what foreigners look like. Where can she learn it? Last month I I asked someone to make a silver anklet belt, and you said that I learned from other people's Miao people. I knew that as soon as someone else made something good, you would say that it was made by someone else! You are the only one in this world One who can make something new and beautiful!"

Wanning frowned even tighter: "I don't know where you heard the strange words, I don't care about your child. This is the third sister's house, please stop messing around."

Yuanning's voice became sharper: "Why am I messing around? You say I'm a child, how much older are you than me? Are you still a child? I just want to tell my third sister these words so that she won't be hurt by you." cheat!"

Wanning glared angrily. After a while, she sat down again, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "What's the use of you saying these things here? Are you capable of talking to grandma? It's too ugly!"

Seeing that Yuanning was about to pounce on her with teeth and claws, Shuning, who had been stunned by what she had heard, hurriedly stopped her: "Stop it, don't quarrel, it won't look good if the outside world knows about it."

She turned to Wanning and said, "Second Sister, I don't know why you sisters don't get along with each other, but please make room for some younger sisters." It's not right, don't say anything about Second Sister in front of others in the future."

She had good intentions at first, and wanted to suppress the conflict first. Unexpectedly, Yuanning's children would be very stubborn when they were angry, and now even Shuning hated her.She shook off Shu Ning, and said loudly: "I knew it, you all let her go, what good is she doing? I'm so mad, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" She threw the curtain away and left.

Wan Ning sneered, and said: "Third sister, leave her alone, she will pick on me every day, but she is just jealous of grandma doting on me."

Shu Ning sat down and said seriously: "Although this is the case, there is one thing I want to make clear. I received the summer clothes from my sister that year. There were some flower bows made of ribbons on it. I thought of using it because I saw it was beautiful. Ribbon embroidery is not my first creation. If there is such an embroidery method in the French court, it is just a mistake." Just kidding, if the other party becomes suspicious, where will she find a foreigner to say that she once Taught her ribbon embroidery?

Wan Ning was somewhat uncertain: "So that's the case, I don't remember clearly. But it's a good thing, if my sister still has such a pillow, give me one too."

Shuning reluctantly agreed.She only made two in total, and now the two cousins ​​each want one, but she is gone.

Wanning got bored after sitting for a long time, so she got up to leave.When she was about to leave the room, she suddenly showed a strange smile, and said to Shuning: "I often go out shopping with my friends, aren't you very interested just now? Come with us anytime? I can also call Fifth elder brother, it's the one in the palace."

Shu Ning was at a loss when she heard it, thinking why did it suddenly involve the fifth elder brother?If it was the fourth elder brother, maybe there is some connection, but these sons and phoenixes, it's no good if they get involved.She refused, saying that her mother was pregnant and she would stay at home to take care of her.Wanning walked out the door with a regretful face.

When they went out to the yard, they happened to meet Duanning coming back.There was some dust on his body, and his chin was slightly bruised.Wan Ning rushed forward and asked repeatedly: "Why did you become like this? Who bullied brother? Who is it?" Shu Ning also looked at each other with concern.

Duanning smiled slightly, separated Wanning with his hands without a trace, and said, "Small, I barely passed the martial arts test of Mafa. Is the second sister here as a guest? Unfortunately, I am not at home." Wanning said with a smile: "Fourth brother If you really feel that it's a pity, why don't you go out with me now? I've made a date with several friends. I'll take you to eat delicious food?" She shook Duanning's hand, coquettishly.

Duanning still smiled gently: "Sounds very interesting. It's a pity that our family is going to pay our respects to our grandparents today. If we have free time in the future, we can ask our second sister to be my guide."

Wanning was a little surprised. In the past, when she acted like a baby, no matter if she was a cousin or a cousin, she would be obedient. She didn't expect to hit a wall today, but this is the only way to show that this brother is different.

She pestered Duan Ning for a few words and jokes, and when she sensed that the other party wanted to see off the guest, she accepted it and left.

Duan Ning let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Shu Ning and said, "This eldest lady is not easy to deal with, but I can't offend her." Shu Ning smiled and handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.Duanning took it, and said: "It's getting late, how is mother? If it's possible, I'd better go to my grandparents' house earlier. I'm afraid his family has to leave food. If I go later in the afternoon, leave dinner and come back." Grandmother might not be happy if it's late." Shu Ning thought it made sense, so she went into the room with him to discuss with her mother.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Tong asked someone to go back to Zhang Bao and reported to the old lady, and the family went to Tong's house in a carriage.

====================================================================================================================================
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, Zhang Bao went to the Ministry of Officials every day to inquire about the news, because banquets were forbidden during the national mourning period, so he had to find some old friends to drink tea and find out the direction of the stroke.Tong Shi went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law every day, and acted like a virtuous daughter-in-law in front of her, so she didn't receive any sneers.Duanning Yin's father had already discussed with Tong's family that he would go to Tong's family school to join the school, so as not to stay in the mansion with nothing to do and follow his cousins ​​and fail to learn well.Every day, he goes to the home of his uncle Tong's family (Note: Tong Guowei) to study for half a day, and stays in the room to study after returning. Sometimes he goes to the Kubu room to practice martial arts, and sometimes he goes horseback riding. He lives a very healthy life.

Shu Ning listened to her mother's words and decided to keep a low profile during her stay at the Earl's Mansion. She practiced calligraphy every day as a female celebrity, and then talked with her mother to relieve boredom. Life was boring enough.

Wanning came here a few times, seeing that Shuning was either embroidering or practicing handwriting, she laughed and said that she was too "every lady", and asked: "You live like this every day, isn't it boring?"

It is very boring, but Shuning is not easy to explain.When she was in Fengtian, she had a lot of things to do every day, but now she can't show off, she can't make novelty things, and she has no friends to socialize with, and her mother-in-law will say that she is indecent when playing with Chun Xing, and she has no place to buy them. Going to get new books, the tomes in the big study outside are all boring, and she has no interest in poetry and anthology, so what else can she do besides embroidery and calligraphy?
Wanning thought for a while, smiled, and said, "Why don't I find you something to do for fun?" Shuning became vigilant, wondering what she was looking for?Could it be the kind of time to hang out with brothers again?She often lures herself out recently, and every time she mentions elder brother, it's so strange.

Unexpectedly, what Wanning mentioned was another matter: "Why don't you go to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting lessons with me?" Seeing Shuning's puzzled eyes, she said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the family invited me Teacher, teach me some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I know a lot, and I am impatient to learn it, so I often skip class. Now only my fourth sister is listening."

I see.Unexpectedly, Wan Ning also knows things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It seems that there is nothing wrong with her reputation. In the past, seeing this young lady who always likes to play around, she thought that her reputation as a talented woman was promoted by others.

It's just that she has a question in her heart: "It's good, it's just that you have been studying for a long time now, right? I'm just going to learn it now, will I not be able to keep up?"

Wan Ning hurriedly said: "No, no, actually, Fourth Sister only started learning this spring. She is very stupid, so she only learned a little bit. If you go now, you will definitely be able to keep up. Besides, it's nothing more than piano, chess and painting. As for 'Book', I think you don't need to study anymore." She glanced at the stack of manuscripts on the desk.

Shuning smiled: "I've only learned a little bit, why don't I need to learn? My sister's teacher must be a well-educated person, right? I will ask for advice." Sounds good, let her be elegant too .
