His little apprentice has a soft and charming waist

Chapter 2 Ning Shuo
Ningguo Mansion occupies a very large area, and Yan Yanling followed her mother-in-law into the west gate. Along the way, she saw many pavilions, lakes and waters, and countless long corridors connecting the courtyards, which looked very grand.She had been silently remembering the way in her heart, but after going around a few long corridors, she no longer knew where she was.

It was also the first time for Xu's mother and Guan Gui to walk in such a large courtyard. They were both silent, afraid to speak, for fear of showing timidity and making people laugh.

After a few more steps, the group heard footsteps not far away.The mother-in-law leading the way beamed with joy, and said, "Madam should be here."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a kind woman in a dark green blouse and a blue-white skirt striding towards them, and said with a smile: "But the banquet bell is here?"

Sheng Yanling quickly stopped and bowed to her.Mrs. Li Shi, Mrs. Ning Guogong, supported her, took her hand and looked at her carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I was afraid that you would be tired and sick, but now that you are in good health, I am so relieved." Don't worry."

Then he said: "Your mother and I are biological sisters. When we were not out of the cabinet, we often slept in the same room. We have a good relationship. Now that you have come to my place, don't make any distinctions, just treat yourself as your own home."

She was warm and kind, showing kindness, and Yan Yan Suzumoto's nervous and nervous heart was calmed down by her words.She nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."

Li Shi laughed and took her hand and walked forward, while Xu's mother waited for several servants to follow behind.

Along the way, the two were reminiscing about the old days, and Li Shi asked, "How are your father and mother?"

Sheng Yanling: "Okay, they are all in good health." Then followed the conversation, "I heard that my third cousin is sick, how is he doing now?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li sighed, "The fever has subsided, but my body has no strength. The doctor said to rest."

She patted Sheng Yanling's hand, "I was going to take you to see him today, but he is sick now, and I'm afraid he'll give you a bad temper, so I'll see you later when he recovers. But later you Follow me to the Shoukang Hall where the old lady lives to meet other brothers and sisters."

Feast Bell nodded slightly.Before coming to the capital, A Niang told her about the situation in the mansion.

Ningguogong's family is very thin, the old Ningguogong is a single heir to three generations, and the old lady of Ningguogong only gave birth to the current Ningguogong.It wasn't until the aunt married in and gave birth to the eldest girl, the second young master and the third young master that the signs of a single pass in the Ningguo mansion were broken.

Two years later, two more aunts gave birth to the fourth young master and the fifth young lady respectively, and then the Ningguo government had no more children.

Therefore, there are only two girls and three young masters who are her peers.Among them, the eldest girl is married to the fourth prince, the second young master is already married, and the remaining third young master, fourth young master, and fifth young lady are about the same age as her and have not yet married.

When she was approaching the capital yesterday, she also sorted out all these people, not afraid that she might not remember them later.

After bypassing an arch bridge and three verandahs, we arrived at Shoukang Hall.Seeing them coming, the mother-in-law raised the curtain and greeted them with a smile, "The old lady is waiting."

Sheng Yanling walked in with her aunt, and found that there were only a few people sitting in the bright hall inside, and the population was really thin.Sitting at the top was Mrs. Ning Guogong. She was wearing a royal blue gold woven jacket and gold hairpins on her head. Reflecting her fair face, she looked very young.

She smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to March, but it's finally here."

Sheng Yanling hurried forward to salute, and got her a jadeite bracelet.

Li Shi then pointed to a young couple and said: "Your eldest sister is already married, and in your generation, your second elder brother and second sister-in-law are the oldest."

Then Shengyan Bell went up to greet him again.The second young master had a cold and handsome temperament, so he just nodded towards her and gave her a piece of good ink.The second young lady was very gentle, and gave her a gold hairpin with a smile.

The third young master is still ill, while the fourth young master and the fifth young lady are the same age as her. According to the rules of the capital, the three of them don't need to give gifts. As far as the sequence is concerned, they are all older than her.

After seeing the ceremony like this, it took a quarter of an hour.The old lady smiled and said: "Take the banquet bell and go back to have a rest, and ask the sisters to play together tomorrow."

Mrs. Li stood up and took the feast bell to leave respectfully.

After walking for a while, he whispered to her: "Did your mother ever tell me about my relationship with the old lady?"

Sheng Yanling nodded embarrassingly, "I said so."

A Niang said, the old lady is a smiling Buddha.Aunt and her are not on good terms in private, but on the surface.

This also starts from the three generations of single legends of the Ningguo family.Because the single pass had been passed on for a long time, the Ningguo government regarded the first child as extremely important, but the first child of the aunt only gave birth to a daughter.

The old lady was furious, and scolded her aunt for cutting off the incense in Ningguo's mansion. Before her aunt's confinement was over, the old lady asked her to kneel in front of the Buddhist hall and pray to the gods and Buddhas to let Ningguo's mansion have a son to carry on the family line.

But praying to God and worshiping Buddha every day, when my aunt became pregnant again in the second year, she began to be suspicious again-the last three or four generations were all single-passed, how did you get pregnant with the second child?
She suspected that the child in her aunt's womb was not her own grandson.

If Ning Guogong hadn't been able to figure it out back then, and tried his best to protect his aunt, he might not have protected his children.The relationship between the two of them has been formed like this, and they have never reconciled for so many years, they are only harmonious in face.

Li shook her head when she thought about it, "She is used to being a good person on the surface, but she is selfish in her heart. You are my niece, she definitely doesn't like you, and you don't have to try to please her."

"I'll tell you these things first, lest you don't know, and when the time comes, you will go over and be wronged by her instead. I don't want you to be wronged by her."

Sheng Yanling nodded, "I see, I will listen to my aunt."

Li Shi: "I can't say enough about this day's work. I will tell you about the people and things in this mansion later."

He said again: "I have prepared a small yard with you. You will live there in the future. Everything is ready. You go and live in it today. Don't rush to clean up the boxes and cages you brought. Let's wait until you have recuperated tomorrow." .”

Sheng Yanling nodded again and again.

Li Shi likes her cuteness very much.After arranging for her to live in, he went to see his third son non-stop.

The third young master, Ning Shuo, was drinking medicine. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall figure and a good-looking appearance.When I saw Mrs. Li, I called A Niang.

Li Shi used to sit by the bed, reaching out to touch his forehead, but seeing his body stiffen and his head tilted, he naturally avoided her hand.She was surprised: "Why?"

Ning Shuo lowered his eyes: "My son is growing up."

Li Shi laughed out loud.

"No matter how old you are, you are still mother's son. What's the point of probing your forehead? I just want to know if your fever has gone down."

Ning Shuo said in a low voice, "The fever is gone, I'm fine, don't worry, Aniang."

Li Shi was very sad.Since her son had been ill three months ago, he didn't seem to be so close to her.But that's how it is when the child grows up. The second child has been cold and cold since he was a child, and he doesn't like to be close to her. Now that the third child is like this, she can still accept it.

She sighed and changed the subject again, "You have a fever today, I didn't know your cousin was here. When you get well, I'll take you to see her."

Ning Shuo nodded lightly.Seeing that he looked a little tired, Li stood up, "You go to sleep, I have to go to check the accounts."

Ning Shuo: "Yes."

He let out a sigh of relief when she left.

He has a secret.

He is not the son of this family, he is just a lonely soul.

Three months ago, he was supposed to die in Lingnan, but after waking up, he found himself attached to this body and became the third young master of Duke Ning's mansion.

For the next three months, he was drowsy, sometimes he woke up with the memory of Third Young Master Ning in his mind, and sometimes it was his own memory, and then he was in a daze, not knowing where he was, whether it was a dream in the previous life or a dream in this life.

It wasn't until today that he suddenly fell ill again that his spirit was truly awake, and his seven souls and six apertures were considered stable. Only then did he realize that he had lived in someone else's body again.

Lived again... He raised his eyes and looked out the window, the sun was scorching outside the house, the bamboo shadows were shaking on the red wall, the wind was blowing and the shadows were moving, and there was peace.

——I just don’t know, are the old people in Kyoto still as safe as this red wall and bamboo shadow?
