Because Wang Sanlang was in a hurry to go home, the brothers came out of the silver building and did not stay in the market any longer. After sending the Taoist idiot back to the outer nine rooms, Wang Sanlang and Wang Qi left in a hurry.

There was silence in the courtyard in the afternoon.

Dao Chi didn't go to the upper room, but went directly to the door of the west wing. Shun Niang was sitting in front of the embroidery frame, embroidering, and Wintersweet was sitting on the small croaker next to her, drawing threads. The master and servant were concentrating on it and didn't pay attention to the outside.

"Sister." Dao Chi stood at the door and called.

Only then did Shun Niang and Lamei's master and servant see Dao Chi. Lamei quickly got up. Shun Niang saw the sweat on Dao Chi's forehead and ordered Lamei: "Pour a bowl of mung bean soup."

Lamei went out in response, and Shun Niang invited Dao Chi to sit in the room, and handed him a wet towel. Dao Chi wiped a handful on his face, which relieved a lot of the heat.

Shun Niang saw the brocade box that Dao Chi had put aside and asked with a smile: "Did you buy the longevity lock?"

The Taoist idiot nodded, opened the brocade box, took out the longevity lock, and handed it to Shun Niang. Shun Niang took it carefully, stroked the various gems on it with her fingers, and praised: "It's so beautiful. I still saw it embedded with treasure once."

longevity lock."

Dao Chi took out a small gauze bag from his purse, took out a pair of gold lilac earrings, handed it over and said, "This is for my sister."

When Shun Niang heard this, she raised her head and her eyes fell on the earrings. She realized what she was doing after a while, shook her head and said, "Why should I wear this? Erlang, take it back quickly."

Dao Chi frowned and said, "Yinlou won't give it back anyway. Whether I wear it or not, it all belongs to my sister." After that, he directly put the earrings into Shun Niang's hands.

In fact, this is not really a good thing, it only weighs more than a penny of gold, and the small lilac flowers are not much bigger than rice grains. But Shun Niang stretched out her hand and held it carefully, as if it were a rare treasure.

Some can't take their eyes away.

After looking at it for a long time, she still shook her head and said: "If the bank doesn't refund it, I'll give it to grandma. Grandma also had gold earrings. The family didn't have enough money before the eldest brother left, so grandma was pawned to death." Because she mentioned her death.

Brother, her mood is a little low. Although she loves the gold earrings, she is not greedy.

What a good girl.

Dao Chi stretched out his arm and stroked Fushun Niang's head.

Shun Niang raised her head in surprise, looked at Dao Chi with a dumbfounded look, and stroked the top of his head with her backhand and said, "I am the elder sister."

Dao Chi poured out the earrings from the small gauze bag, handed them to Shun Niang and said, "Grandma's gift is here. It's better to keep my sister's for myself. There are no old people wearing lilac pendants."

In fact, no Taoist idiot would know what kind of jewelry women wear in this era. They just said this after listening to the young man introduce it.

After hearing this, Shun Niang hesitated and said, "Can I use this to exchange for another pair of earrings for my grandmother?"

The Taoist idiot said: "Grandma only has one pair of ears. With these, why do you need earrings? Sister, please stop being wordy. This is the beginning. When I get older, I will buy a box of jewelry for my sister and let her count it every day.

Play."

Shun Niang covered her sleeves and said with a smile: "Just talking like a child, jewelry can't be used as food, so why buy it from old age?" At this point, she glanced at the upper room, lowered her voice and said: "If you have one, you can't have two, you can't have three.

Four, you are a child, how dare you spend money casually without asking your elders for instructions? I hope my grandma will spare you this time; next time, be careful about how you serve!"

The Taoist idiot also asked in a low voice: "Sister, what is our family law?"

Shun Niang smiled and said: "I am punished by copying the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times."

When the Taoist idiot heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The "Book of Filial Piety" has more than 3,000 words. One hundred times it means 300,000 words. Even if the calligraphy is slower, it can be completed in two or three days.

At this time, I heard Shun Niang add a sentence slowly: "You are not allowed to eat until you finish copying..."

While the sister and brother were talking, Lamei had already brought mung bean soup. It was boiled in the morning and submerged in the well. It was cool in the mouth and was very good at relieving the summer heat.

At this moment, I heard some movement in the upper room. After taking a nap, Wang Ning picked up the door curtain and came out.

The Taoist idiot put down the soup bowl, picked up the brocade box and left the west wing: "Grandma, my grandson is back..."

This is a wise old lady in front of me. I want to say something to the old lady about the twelve houses.

Wang Ning raised her head to look at the sky and said in surprise: "Xun Kuai? Didn't you go look for Qilang?"

"I met him at the door when I went out. He brought Sanlang here to look for his grandson." Dao Chi replied.

The grandfather and grandson went back to the upper room. Wang Ning first looked at the longevity lock, nodded and said: "It is considered exquisite. This gift is worthy of your elder brother's status."

The Taoist Chi was about to talk about the third bedroom plotting against the 12th bedroom, when Shun Niang picked up the curtain and came in. She came to deliver mung bean soup to Wang Ning.

Dao Chi thought for a while, but did not avoid Shun Niang. He told Wang Ning that the rumors about the Twelve Fangs might be the conspiracy of the Third Fangs.

Wang Ning's face darkened. When Shun Niang heard the words about wives, concubines, and concubines, she blushed and stood up to get out. Wang Ning waved her hand and said: "You are old too, there is nothing you can't hear.

.”

"No wonder these rumors are evil. I just thought Yang had offended some sister-in-law. I didn't expect this to be the reason." Wang Ning sighed: "No matter what the reason is, tarnishing people's reputations, bad marriages, it's too low.

Zuo. God has eyes. If the third room is so noisy, nothing will come of it."

Even though Shun Niang had a docile temperament, she couldn't help frowning and whispered: "You are really evil-hearted. Let's not talk about the grudges of the elders. Sister Rong Niang is so innocent. A good girl is asking people to talk in vain."

Wang Ning thought for a while and said to Dao Chi: "Even if there are people with ulterior motives, things started because of your adoption after all. If you want to root out the rumors, you have to do this..."

Dao Chi nodded in agreement, looking at the old lady with even more respect.

The atmosphere between grandparents and grandchildren was just right. Shun Niang blinked at the side, took out a small gauze bag, and said: "Grandma, Erlang bought gifts for grandma and granddaughter..."

The next day, the Taoist idiot put on a straight silk embroidery and a lucky scarf on his head, dressed like a young master. Wang Ning also found out a new and not old silk silk jacket with narrow sleeves and ironed it with an iron.

After getting dressed, she put on the pair of gold earrings on her ears and a solid gauze bindi on her head, adding a bit of grace without looking shabby at all.

Wang Qi came to pick her up in a carriage. When she saw Wang Ning, her mouth felt like honey, and she flattered her: "Oh my, my uncle looks so young when he tidies up. I don't know, but...

I thought you were my grandson’s aunt.”

Wang Ning smiled and said: "Naughty again! Who did you learn from this glib mouth? Don't tell me."

Wang Qi smiled "hehe" and helped Wang Ning get into the carriage together with the fellow idiots.

The outer ninth house is not far from the clan house, but it takes a while for the carriage to reach the twelfth house.

Along the way, Wang Qi didn't stop talking, praising Dao Chi again and again, so much so that Dao Chi felt his face was burning. He was just talking about how he studied diligently, how self-disciplined, and how hard he studied at home.

Wang Ning listened with a smile on his face at first, but the more he listened, his face became stiffer. He looked at Dao Chi and said: "A calm mind will be calm, a calm mind will be wise, a wise mind will not be chaotic, and if it is not chaotic, it will not decline. This is your own opinion. If so, have you forgotten?"

Seeing Wang Ning's anger, the Taoist idiot said hurriedly: "My grandson has not forgotten."

Wang Ning said seriously: "Then why are you so eager for quick success? How old are you? Even your father, your elder brother was not as eager as you when he was your age. You are only eleven years old, study hard. A few years, why is it too late?”

Of course, Taoist idiots cannot say that the emperor has only a few years to live. The third son will come to Beijing and become emperor within two years. If he starts too late, it will really be too late.

What he said in front of Wang Qi about studying hard to make a living for his wife was not allowed to be said in front of the old lady. The Taoist idiot could only say with sincerity: "Grandma, my grandson knows the principle of doing things according to his ability. My grandson just wants to Give it a try... Although my grandson is not known as a child prodigy, he still wants to give it a try..."

He didn't have the slightest bit of childishness and said seriously twice, "I want to try it out."

Mrs. Wang Ning sighed in her heart. For this heir, who always behaved like a young adult, the old man thought it was because he was hurt because he was abandoned twice.

If you are so eager to take the exam, do you also want to show your results to others?

Thinking of this, Wang Ning was reluctant to stop him, and sighed: "No matter what, the body and bones are the most important. I am old and can't bear anything anymore. Your sister will have to wait for you to take care of her in the future."

The Taoist idiot confirmed: "Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will be fine..."

Wang Qi was standing by, wiping his sweat away. He praised Dao Chi just to make the old lady happy. Unexpectedly, it made the old lady worry instead, and he couldn't help but regret his quick words.

Now that he saw that his grandfather and grandson were able to talk, he felt more at ease, but his mouth seemed to be sealed, and he no longer dared to talk nonsense.

*

Twelve rooms, main courtyard.

Mrs. Wang Yang had already dressed up, with a light powder on her face to hide her haggardness. With bright eyes, she sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the beaded crown and put it on, and added two pairs of gold bracelets to her hands. The silk and satin she wears on her upper body, even if she is not wearing a royal skirt, the style of her whole body is beyond the reach of ordinary women.

Outside the twelve rooms, carriages and horses arrived one after another, and the guests arrived...
