His little apprentice has a soft and charming waist

Chapter 59
As dusk approached, the sound of cicadas' chirping became less, and the dim cage light outside the house shone on the ground and on the walls, like shadows.The maids and women who came and went walked back and forth, breaking the light again.

Ning Shuo stood aside and looked at the banquet bell hidden in the curtain.She was being supported by Shi Li to take a sip of water.Guan Gui next to him was holding a bowl of porridge, and Mama Xu was holding a bowl of vegetables, as if they were going to feed her.

A ray of light shrouded her face, making her look white and clear, with a bit of human smoke and fire, like a dream, a bit unreal.

As if sensing his relentless gaze, she raised her head and glanced at him curiously, she was obviously taken aback, her small mouth deflated, and she was about to cry.

Ning Shuo smiled lightly.

The fate between people is hard to say.He has been with the prince day and night for 20 years, but he can't get a word of protection from him, but after teaching Yan Ling for four years, he has received her sincerity and scolded Xiao Shi for being raised by his dog.

He couldn't help laughing, and burst into tears at the sound of the banquet bell.

so similar.

——He just stood in the light and laughed, just like the husband couldn't help laughing after hearing her say something stupid.

One laughed and the other cried, and the dim light coming in through the mullioned windows fell on one face and the other.

Li Shi finally found out that Ning Shuo was still here!Following Yan Ling's gaze, I saw him smiling happily!
She quickly glared at him, and glared at him again - if she hadn't got his hairpin today, she would have screwed him.

So Mama Xu and Guan Gui came to feed Sheng Yanling, and then dragged him out, berating him all the way, "Yanling is younger than you, she is the youngest person in our family, you have to be gentle and tolerant, don't laugh at her for being treated by others." Feed me. She is sick."

Ning Shuo: "Mom, I don't have one."

Li Shi: "Why are you laughing without you! You are obviously laughing at her! Otherwise, why is she crying? She is already sensitive, and sick people have big mood swings. Don't make her cry!"

Ning Shuo had no choice but to suffer from being dumb.

Li Shi hates men laughing at women like this the most, she said bitterly: "Don't make some bad mistakes and come back, the girl's family is delicate and weak, you must not underestimate her."

Ning Shuo could only say, "I was wrong."

Only then was Li Shi satisfied.She taught her son, "What happened today must never happen again. Your cousin was killed by me. Hey, I hope you all protect her."

Then he continued to babble: "There are also hairpins. You listen to my advice and buy some for your sisters-in-law and sisters. Our family has few heirs. If we are in the same family, we are all flesh and blood."

Ning Shuo nodded with a smile, and asked around the corner, "I heard that I had a crab feast today. Whose girl did you eat with?"

Li Shi was alert, "Why are you asking about this?"

Ning Shuo: "Just ask, lest my mother scold me again. I'm also curious. Neither my fifth sister nor my cousin has invited anyone back."

Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the daughter of Mr. Huang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. I want to tell her to your brother. They are about the same age. You just said that I was afraid that you would be happy. You are a bit older."

Ning Shuo, "I've never seen it before, how could I have such thoughts."

But Li Shi was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so she explained: "I should have told you first, but Miss Huang's family is very fond of her. I'm afraid she won't marry until the seventeenth or eighteenth. Your fourth younger brother will only be eighteen or nineteen years old by then, and it will be just right for you to get married. But you can't wait any longer, once you talk about kissing, you have to talk about the older one."

Then I was worried, "Which girl do you have your eye on? You should also say kiss. But your father never mentioned it..."

Ning Shuo hurriedly said, "I'd better study first, I'm not in a hurry."

Li Shi glanced at him and thought of Yanling again.Shuo'er and Yanling are a natural couple, the Duke of Ning already has a princess, Yunniang and Miss Huang are also daughters of a famous family, and Xixi is also married to a high-ranking family...Then Shuo'er and Yanling belong to the same family Even if the marriage is not well matched, it shouldn't matter.If you force yourself, maybe your husband will agree.

But also ask your son for his opinion.If he also likes Yanling, she will give it a try.She asked expectantly, "Do you think your cousin..."

Ning Shuo was so frightened that his back was sweating, "Mother, don't mess around. My cousin and I are like brothers and sisters."

Li Shi was very disappointed, "Hey, you are not up to date at all, and your vision is not good."

But we should not force our youngest children to be together for themselves.Then he waved his hand, "Go and rest yourself, you smell so bad."

Ning Shuo: "..."

He had to go back and change his clothes again.Knowing that he couldn't find out from Mrs. Li, he asked the young man to inquire, but the young man was unreliable, so he came back and said, "I heard that Miss Huang brought a painting. Then Miss Wu chased Miss Huang for a while, Miss Huang ran away again."

Probably knowing that what he said was as if he hadn't said it, he lowered his head in shame after he finished speaking.Because I really can't find out the specifics, but I heard that it was the wife and the fifth girl who kept their mouths shut.

Ning Shuo guessed something.

It must have been written about him in the painting.Or... that's his portrait.

Thinking of this, his heart jumped up: So, it is very likely that Yan Ling saw his portrait?
Just thinking about this possibility made him toss and turn all night, unable to sleep.In the morning of the second day, I went to Buyuchuan's house to look at Muzhou's case files, and in the afternoon I went to Qiushan Farm as before. At dusk, I entered the gate of Duke Ningguo's mansion, and then hurried to the bamboo forest, but I didn't see the feast bell.

He pursed his lips and stood for a while, taking the opportunity of asking Li Shi to choose the style of the hairpin, "Why don't you let your sister-in-law and younger sisters choose?"

Li Shi said: "Your second sister-in-law is busy, but Xiao Wu took the banquet bell and went to the street to relax."

Ning Shuo tightened his hands, feeling a little bad, "Didn't my cousin get sick just now? Why are you still going out?"

Li: "I feel better today. She felt that the house was too stuffy, and the yard was too stuffy. She called the doctor to see her. The doctor said that she was fine. The disease came and went quickly. If you want to go out for a walk, that's fine. , it can’t be said that it’s better for the condition.”

Then he sighed, "I heard that there are many mountains and waters in Lingnan, and it is very good for people. Apart from houses, there are houses in Kyoto. There is no such good scenery. Before Yanling, I guessed that I walked here and there in Lingnan, but I came to Kyoto. I didn't even go out, hey, I wonder if I'm restricting her too much."

Ning Shuo felt something was wrong.Yan Ling is not an active person, she is timid, she is afraid of thunder when it rains, she does not go out, and it is too hot in summer, she does not like to go out.So I hold a book and read it all day long, and it is a day just to read it.

It is impossible for her to go out and walk around on her own initiative.

His heart was in his throat, and it was about to come out.He said, "Where did they go shopping? I didn't see them all the way back."

Li looked at the flowers, liked them more and more, and said casually, "Over there in the alley of gold and silver. The jewelry shops over there are good, and they are all expensive. I'll let them buy more."

Ning Shuo closed his eyes.

Jinyin Alley, in addition to the alley where I live, also has shops outside, which are specially made for rich people, and later became a place where rich people love to shop.

The people who live in Gold and Silver Alley, like the name of this alley, are rich in gold and silver.

Just like home, right there.

After he resumed work, he also inquired that His Majesty has been abandoning that house and never rewarded anyone to live in it.

Occasionally he passed by the door of that alley, but he didn't dare to look at it.

What to look at?
Look at the blood that was wiped out all over the house?
But Yan Ling will definitely go to see it for him.

He felt a soreness gushing out of his heart, and there was a fire in his throat, which made him burn badly.

He stood up and said, "It's so dark, why haven't you come back?"

Li smiled and said, "Yanling hasn't seen the night market in Kyoto yet. I sent guards to protect them so that they don't come back in a hurry. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and businesses everywhere are hanging lanterns. It's so beautiful at night." .”

Ning Shuo: "Yes."

He said: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, no wonder Zhou Hao asked me to go out at night. I didn't answer him, but now it seems that he probably wants to invite me to watch the lantern festival."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "It's Zhou Hao? He helped us last time, and he is your only friend. If I call you, you can go. Don't stay at home."

Ning Shuo: "Okay, I will listen to my mother."

Li Shi was satisfied, "You are more obedient now."

Ning Shuo rode his horse to Jinyin Alley non-stop.Sure enough, at the entrance of the alley, I saw the carriage of Duke Ning's mansion.

He was riding a tall horse, with a whip in his hand, and his heart was tight in his throat. When he looked up, he suddenly saw Yan Ling holding a lantern and illuminating the family plaque.

The lantern was raised higher and higher, and the word "Suifu" became more and more prominent. Ning Shuo couldn't help urging the horse to her side slowly.

——Among the lights of thousands of families, she stood in the night, using the only ray of light to illuminate the only dead soul with her family...

- came back.

　That's it for today.

　　Double update tomorrow.
