Ordinary clear day

Chapter 64 Preparation
Zhang Bao called his son into the study the next day to talk.Shuning had already learned from her mother that her brother would not go to Guangzhou with them, she felt very sad, leaning on the pillars in the porch to watch the situation in the study.

Duan Ninghong came out of the study with eyes wide open, and when she saw her sister, she forced a smile and said, "It seems that I can't accompany my sister to see the scenery and the sea in the south of the Yangtze River."

Shuning bit her lip, tugged at Duanning's sleeve and said, "I can't bear to part with my brother."

Duan Ning patted her head and said, "I am also reluctant to part with Ama, Er Niang and my younger sister, but don't worry, I will write letters often and take good care of myself. I am no longer a child." He looked up at Sky: "When you come back, I will already be a man, and no one can bully us." He blinked several times, and the silver light in the corners of his eyes slowly disappeared.

Shuning silently waited for him to stop his tears.Duanning lowered his head to see her appearance, and then broke his smile: "Don't be sad, at least I can stay in Beijing to eat, dress and wear well, and I don't have to walk so far. But I can't see what Jiangnan looks like, and I can’t see the indescribably big sea, and those foreigner’s sharp-bottomed boats, my sister can watch it for me, and when you come back, tell me what it looks like.”

Shuning forced a smile and said, "I saw it, so I drew it and sent it back when I wrote a letter to my brother, okay?"

Duanning pinched her nose again: "Hey, Miss San, can you do it?"

Shu Ning dodged his hand and curled her lips: "Although I'm not as good as Brother Tong Ying, it's still not a problem to draw a look. Mr. Cai always praised me in painting class, don't underestimate me!" Back then, she I also participated in the primary school student painting competition in the city and won an encouragement award. It is no small thing to draw a sea and a boat.

Duanning smiled and continued to pinch her nose, while Shuning continued to avoid it.

============================================================================================================================
Seeing the two children playing in the distance, Tong's heart felt sour, and it was hard to hold back the tears.

She said to Ermo who was wiping away her tears: "You have always been the one I trust the most. I should have taken you with me this time, but I am really worried about leaving Brother Duan alone in Beijing. Although there are his grandparents here... Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, but after all, they are separated by one floor, and each has its own things to worry about, so I will leave you in Beijing. Anyway, Huzi will stay with Duanning, and you can take care of yourself flesh and blood."

Ermo choked with sobs and said, "Madam, don't worry, just leave it to me."

Tong Shi nodded: "It's just that we really can't do without Changfu, so we have to make you and your husband separate for a while."

Ermo shook her head and said, "Master and wife think highly of him, it's his good fortune."

Tong said again: "Ma San'er and Xiaomei are also staying with me. You can discuss with them if you have anything to do. Xiaomei will take care of clothes, food and food. What I want you to pay attention to is something else. Brother Duan Now that the son is growing up, there are many officials and eunuchs in Beijing, good and bad are mixed, it is inevitable that someone will lure him to do something bad, you must always pay attention to it, urge him to study hard, and don't associate with those people."

Ermo said solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Brother Duan and prevent him from imitating the bad."

Mrs. Tong nodded, and said: "Also, the two girls who are serving brother Duan now, Shuxiang and Moxiang, you help me take care of them, if you are uneasy, you can just kick them out and pick another honest one. Make. My good son must not be seduced by that screwdriver and whore."

Ermo also knew the bad atmosphere in this mansion, she had already disliked those two little girls, so she hurriedly responded.

Tong lowered her head and thought for a long time, then said: "There is one more thing, you also know about the pumpkin alley, don't cut off contact in the future, just go to deliver things yourself. Don't leave it to him. I will also tell Brother Duan about this, if he is in Beijing, it will be better if he has noble people to take care of him. "

Ermo said knowingly: "Yes. Ma'am, before you leave Beijing, why don't you give away one or two autumn and winter clothes."

Tong Shi nodded, and wanted to give some more instructions, but heard the maid below report: "Madam, the fourth wife is here."

Recently, Mrs. Shen came here often, and Mrs. Tong was not polite to her. He sat down and greeted her, "Why are the fourth siblings free to come? Don't they come here to bring tonics again? I said no, put them in the room." No more."

Mrs. Shen handed the medicine packs in her hand to Su Yun, and said: "There are so many, the total is only eight or nine packs. They are all taken according to the anti-abortion medicine prescription handed down by my natal family, which is very good for pregnant women. Sister-in-law, drink more."

Tong couldn't turn her around, so she had to be taken away. He asked her to sit down and asked her to pour tea.

The two chatted about some family matters, and Shen said, "I'm here today, I actually want to ask my sister-in-law for something."

Tong asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen said: "The third brother and the third sister-in-law are going to Guangzhou, may I bring a few more people?"

Seeing Tong's puzzled eyes, she smiled embarrassedly: "That's right. My natal brother died a few years ago, and since then there has been only one Mrs. Ru, surnamed Liu. This Mrs. Liu is capable and straightforward. The whole family is respectful. It's just that last year when my brother reunited, the husband and wife are very loving, and they can't let others go..."

Seeing that Mrs. Tong frowned, she went on to say: "Mr. Liu wanted to stay in the Shen family, and the whole family would never treat her badly. It's just that she has a strong heart and asked to go on her own. But her parents are both dead." , there is only one uncle. A few years ago, the imperial court sent the Eight Banners Army to Guangdong, and her uncle’s whole family went. Mrs. Liu wanted to join her uncle, but my mother’s family was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her women to go on the road, so they let me come Please sister-in-law, take them with you."

Tong thought it wasn't a big deal, so it didn't matter if she agreed. Besides, if Ermo and Duanning didn't go, she would inevitably be lonely during the journey, and it would be nice to have a companion, so she said, "It's just a trivial matter. The fourth brother and sister don't hesitate to call me." People just come, but I don’t know how many people there are in total?”

Shen quickly said: "She also has a sister who is a widow, and then there are a maid, a servant, and a porter. There are five people in total."

Seeing that there were not many people, Mrs. Tong made the decision, and Mrs. Shen thanked her a thousand times, and said a few words with her before leaving.

A day later, Mrs. Tong sent some autumn clothes to Pumpkin Hutong. Changfu and Ermo and his wife took Duanning and quietly sent them there.

Duanning only found out today that his mother had a private relationship with the fourth elder brother, and after receiving the opportunity from his mother, he already had an idea in his mind.Seeing him like this, Shuning was a little worried, so she said to him: "We are different from the second sister, it's better not to get too close to those princes, it's okay to be acquaintances, if you get too close, I'm afraid there will be some Trouble."

Duan Ning comforted his sister with a smile and said, "Where can we get closer? I've only seen him from a distance so far. It's okay, I won't cause trouble."

Shu Ning was still worried, but when she thought that those princes and elder brothers were still kids, it was still early before the danger, and the one who was close was the final winner, she felt relieved and put all these problems behind her. I just told my brother not to let others, especially Wanning, find out that they had a private connection with that fourth elder brother, let alone get too close to her.

After hearing this, Duanning laughed: "I underestimated your brother and me too much, that Wanning, whoever is next to him is unlucky, and I'm not a fool, how could I let her get close?"

Shuning 囧, it's too poisonous, when did her elder brother become black-bellied?
================================================================================================================================ ====
The following days were spent packing up luggage, because Duanning wanted to stay in Beijing, and Ermo's mother and son, Ma Saner and Xiaomei's husband and wife, and Master Cheng, who taught riding and archery, also stayed behind. The original manpower was not enough. Tong's family took in another family, and picked out a few more maids and servants.Originally planning to leave in a few days, the old lady sent a message that the Mid-Autumn Festival was less than ten days away, and they would leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Zhang Bao and his wife had no choice but to postpone the trip.

This postponement is one more good thing.In the end, the winter clothes I sent to Pumpkin Alley were exchanged for a thin piece of paper with my name written on it.At first, Mrs. Tong didn't know what it meant. When she talked with Zhang Bao, she learned that there was an old doctor Chen from the Imperial Hospital. He was originally from Nanhai, Guangdong. Be with you.

Both Zhang Bao and Tong were overjoyed.Tong's pregnancy was actually a little apprehensive when she went on the road. Now that she has an imperial physician with her, what are you afraid of?Being grateful, he sent a few branches of ginseng that he had treasured for a long time and a jade pendant consecrated by an eminent monk to Pumpkin Alley.

A few days passed in a hurry, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.At this time, the national funeral was over, and the old lady ordered the whole family to hold a big banquet and have a reunion dinner, and practice it for Zhang Bao by the way.

Shu Ning saw Fang Ning who hadn't shown up for a long time at the banquet, and felt that she was very thin and very silent.On the other hand, Yuanning watched Wanning's way of pleasing the old lady without saying a word, and she was no longer as blatantly sarcastic as in the past.

Shu Ning didn't know what to say, she just spoke to them in a friendly voice and advised Fang Ning to eat more, Fang Ning forced a smile and ate some cakes.

During the dinner, Wanning came over to them, and Yuanning surprisingly didn't get into any trouble with her.Fanning just remained silent.Wanning looked at her thin face, bit her lip, and asked in a low voice: "Big sister, I couldn't save you that day, I'm sorry... how are you now?" Fangning replied blankly: "I'm fine .”

Wanning asked her a question, and she only answered a few words. After a long time, Wanning felt bored, so she turned her head and smiled and said to Shuning: "You two will be away for several years, I am very reluctant to part with my third sister. But fortunately Duanning will stay. The third sister is in Guangdong, if she finds anything interesting and delicious, remember to bring some back to me."

Shuning twitched the corner of her mouth.Wanning saw that she was bored at the table, she said a few words, then found an excuse and walked away.

Shu Ning looked at her back coldly, but sneered in her heart.Her family is separated by thousands of miles, is it such a light thing in her eyes?
Sister Wanning, you seem to really think that you are the center of this world, does everyone revolve around you?If this is really a novel, even if you are an innocent woman who can turn all living beings upside down, are you so sure that you are the protagonist?Beware of becoming a gorgeous cannon fodder one day.
