peaceful ancient life

Chapter 8
An Nuannuan stepped forward, pulled An Ning to look at it, nodded and smiled, "Well, this dress is pretty good, it looks good in it! It looks like fair skin and a good complexion."

An Ning became arrogant: "I have a great body and a good complexion. It's not because I wear this dress that I look good."

"That's true. You were born at full-term and didn't get sick very often. After the age of three, you never even had a little illness." An Nuannuan nodded and smiled and boasted: "Our Ning'er looks so good. Exquisite and good-looking, you can wear it beautifully."

"That's right. I'm your daughter, but everyone loves me. Flowers bloom when they see flowers. The beauty that the ancients said is what I look like." An Ning smiled narcissistically, stood up and turned around.

An Nuannuan and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw her narcissistic appearance.

An Wenyu shook his head even more with a smile: "Tsk~ Reserved, where is the reserve? Are you boasting like this? You should really let those people in the village who say you are quiet and elegant come and take a good look."

"Did I say something wrong?" An Ning asked innocently with watery eyes.

"That's right, our Ning'er is very good-looking. None of the little girls in these ten miles and eight villages can match our Ning'er's looks. Every time Ning'er walks around our yard, the little flowers in the yard are so beautiful. It looks better." Yang nodded solemnly at the side, in Yang's opinion, her granddaughter is the prettiest, and what she said is correct.

"Grandma~ I really like you so much, I never tell lies, and tell the truth every time."

An Nuannuan and the three brothers: "."

"Is it too plain?" An Nuannuan looked at An Ning hesitantly.

"Will it be?" An Ning looked down at herself.

An Ning has nothing else on her body except for a silver bracelet on her left wrist.

Most of the ancient jewelry is made of gold, silver and jade. Because Uncle An Jin’s family is doing business in the county, they bought a share, and every year, nearly 1000 taels of silver are distributed in the account. These [-] taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to eat. Using one year's ancient money is a lot of money, so An's family is considered wealthy in Jixin Town, and it is not impossible to buy some better-quality jade. If An Ning wanted it, he would buy it for her in an expensive city, based on how much the An family treated An Ning.It's just that An Ning thinks that there is no need to wear gold and jade jewelry in the countryside, it's too ostentatious, so even though her jewelry box is almost full of jewelry, she doesn't see how she wears it.

An Wenye looked at Zou Mei: "Didn't I buy some silk flowers for you before? Why didn't you wear them?"

An Ning hesitated: "Will those be too colorful?"

"It's better for the little girl's family to be brighter." Yang interrupted and turned to An Nuan Nuan: "A Nuan, go to Ning'er's room to see if there is any good-looking headgear."

"Let me see." An Nuannuan turned and entered the room, and took out two pink silk flowers after a while: "These two are pretty good, come here, I'll try them on for you."

An Nuannuan stepped forward and placed two flower pins on the left side of An Ning's bun, and took two steps back to look: "Well, it looks much better this way."

After dinner, An Ning went for a walk to Feng's house.

From a distance, many people gathered at the gate of Feng's house, which was very lively.When he got closer, the person who was chatting over there also saw An Ning slowly approaching.

At the door, Mrs. Pan was bending over to check her daughter's dowry, when she suddenly felt that the corner of her clothes was being pulled. Looking back, she saw the sister-in-law of the Yang family who came to help her and winked at the door. Mrs. Pan looked up and saw An Ning, who walked gracefully under the sun, was as beautiful as a fairy. Even Mrs. Pan had to admit that even if her daughter was dressed beautifully, she couldn't compare to An Ning. She was even better than herself in ordinary clothes. The well-dressed daughter looks good.

"An Ning, are you here? Yulan is inside, go in and sit inside."

"Ms. Pan." An Ning greeted Mrs. Pan and entered the door.

A round-faced aunt outside the gate asked the people around her: "Sister-in-law Liu, didn't everyone say that the Feng family stole An's marriage? Why did the daughter of the An family come to Feng Yulan to marry Feng Yulan?"

Sister-in-law Liu: "That's because An's family doesn't care about their generosity. I'm talking about it. The people of An's and Li's families were not decided at the beginning. I heard that Li Junniang took a fancy to An's daughter and wanted to hire her as a daughter-in-law. The An family just hesitated and refused to agree because their daughter is young."

The round-faced aunt suddenly realized: "That's it, I said, but Li Jun is well-learned and good-looking, and he will definitely have great promise in the future. Why didn't the An family agree quickly, it's a pity."

Sister-in-law Liu: "What's the pity? Although Li Jun is now a juren, An Jin who is in An's family is also a juren. Now he is going to Beijing to prepare for the exam. Maybe he will pass the exam. By then, An Ning will be the official lady. What a pity."

The round-faced lady said awkwardly: "That's right."

Here, An Ning didn't know what the people behind them were talking about.

Walking to the door of Feng Yulan's room, he raised the curtain, and saw a few laughing and playing girls sitting inside, all of them came to send Feng Yulan to get married.

"Are you all here? Everyone came quite early." An Ning smiled.

In the room, Feng Yulan was sitting by the bed, listening to a few good sisters laughing and teasing her, she was bowing her head shyly when she heard An Ning's voice coming from the door.

Looking up, she saw her standing there with the curtain lifted and a smile, she was indescribably beautiful, and her joyful mood was also depressed.

"You are here, come in quickly." Feng Yulan forced a smile.

An Ning stepped forward and smiled, "Congratulations."

"Thank you!" Feng Yulan smiled shyly, yes, so what if she is as beautiful as she is?I was the one who married Li Jun, not her An Ning. Thinking of this, Feng Yulan's mood improved again.

"An Ning, come and sit here." Qiu Gui greeted with a smile and raised her hand.

An Ning came to Qiugui and called "Sister Qiugui" and sat down.

Looking at Feng Yulan next to her in a red wedding dress, she was sitting there shyly, saying that the most beautiful moment of every woman is when she gets married, and as expected, Feng Yulan is quite beautiful at this time.

An Ning smiled and watched them chatting and joking until the bride was picked up by the groom before going back.

On the way home, An Ning thought about her behavior today, and felt that she was getting more and more naive. Under the pampering of the whole family, the age in her heart not only stopped growing, but became younger and younger, feeling that she was the same age as her body synchronized.Besides, I didn't care as much about Li Jun's marriage to Feng Yulan as I thought, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten up early to dress up just to show my face at Feng's house and get angry with Feng Yulan.

He breathed a sigh of relief, this time he really let go.He raised his head and felt the breeze gently blowing across his face, and watched the delicate flower buds supported by the green leaves on the side of the road.In the breeze, they swayed gently, showing a shy smile, and their mood suddenly became brighter, and the discomfort in their hearts drifted away with the wind, and their troubles and listlessness were gone.Feel the ease of speaking from top to bottom.

Time is like sand in your hands, slipping away silently.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here.

Chinese New Year, New Year is always lively, festive, cheerful.Every household posted couplets and blessings, and hung red lanterns. The fiery red color seemed to be on fire.

An Ning spends New Year's Eve by visiting everywhere to pay New Year's greetings. After the greetings in the village, she is taken to her uncle's and grandpa's house in the county, and then to the uncle's house and uncle's house.After all, I have been to all the people who should pay New Year's greetings. When I am free, this year will pass.

An Wenyu and An Wenhan had already gone back to the county, only An Wenye stayed at home to study.

Early this morning, An Ning got up, got dressed, washed up, and went to the hall, where she sat at the dining table with everyone and ate breakfast made by her grandma Yang.

After the meal, An Nuannuan ordered An Wenye to pull the ox cart out.

Yang's basket with offerings in his hand and An Nuan Nuan and An Ning stood outside the door. After An Wenye came out, he got on the bullock cart and walked towards the county seat.

It's already February now, and in a few days it will be the three-year spring exam. The family is going to the Yuanquan Temple in the county to offer incense and pray for An Jin.

The bullock cart was walking slowly on the road. An Ning sat in the cart and looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling the warmth of the sun shining on her body, and the breeze blowing gently.

The bud clusters on the branches of the fir trees by the roadside are already quite fat and tender, shining brightly against the sky.

The wild flowers on the grass opened their eyes, one by two, clusters connected into pieces.

On the field, the wheat seedlings turn green, stretching as far as the eye can see, like green waves, full of vitality.

Arriving at Yuanquan Temple, after offering incense and praying for blessings, I followed Yang Shi and An Nuannuan to the back wing to rest.An Wenye sent them to the door and went out again, intending to visit the monastery.

After resting for a while, An Ning told Yang Shi and went out. It was a rare visit to the temple, and she planned to visit the temple.

When visiting the temple, I saw people coming and going on the path leading to the back mountain. I heard that there is a peach blossom forest on the mountainside of the back mountain. It is the season of peach blossoms, and the scenery is beautiful. An Ning immediately decided to visit .

When An Ning climbed up on foot and reached the peach blossom forest, he was too tired to go any further, but luckily he arrived.

Today, after sitting in the car for so long, I climbed all the way here again. No matter how good my physique is, I couldn't take it anymore. I came to sit on a big rock by the roadside and rest for a while.Only then did I have the strength to look up at the peach blossoms all around me, it was really beautiful.It's not in vain that she worked so hard to climb up, seeing such a beautiful scenery, it's really worth it.

After resting enough, An Ning stood up and walked into the woods.While walking and watching, I came to the depths of the peach forest in a short while. Looking up at the peach blossoms all over the mountain, the flowers are rushing to open. When the breeze blows, the petals are fluttering. The petals falling from the sky, this kind of scenery is probably comparable to the Peach Blossom Island described by Jin Yong, it is so beautiful.

At this moment, this scene should be a poem.

Unfortunately, I will not.

I thought, since I don’t know how to compose poetry, let’s play a song.He stretched out his hand to untie the piccolo hanging from his waist, and raised his hand to blow it. With the clear sound of the flute, a melodious tune floated out.

An Ning, who was playing the flute, did not expect that she stood here looking at the scenery, and she became a unique scenery in the eyes of others.

After playing a piece of music, thinking about it, it has been a long time since she came out. Afraid that Mrs. Yang and the others would be in a hurry, she turned her head to look at the peach blossoms all over the mountain, An Ning turned and walked back, planning to go back.

The road up the mountain was difficult, but the downhill was quite fast. After a while, I reached the foot of the mountain. Just as I was about to go back, I saw my elder brother rushing towards me.

"Brother, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?" An Ning looked at An Wenye and asked.

"Looking for you, where have you been? The nurses are very anxious to see that you haven't returned after you have been out for so long." An Wenye walked past and said with a sigh of relief.

"Um, I went to see the peach blossoms, and I just came back if I didn't pay attention." An Ning was very embarrassed, and smiled at An Wenye in a fawning manner.

"You, it's fine, just come back." An Wenye reached out and rubbed An Ning's head: "Let's go, it's time to go home."

"En." An Ning nodded.

The two returned to the wing room, where Yang's An Nuannuan was already waiting, and when they saw someone came back, they took a bullock cart back to Lishan Village together.
