Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 23

"Third sister?" Ling Dang handed the embroidered cloth to Ling Jing, but she didn't take it. He seemed to be looking at her, but his eyes fell into space, lost in thought.

Ling Dang called her for a long time before finally pulling her back, making her eyes shine again.

"The embroidery was finished so quickly," Ling Jing smiled and took the piece of cloth and lowered her eyes to take a look. She didn't wait to take a closer look. It was her habit to say good things before speaking and praised, "Today's embroidery is so beautiful." Not bad. Especially this..."

The words stopped abruptly.

It is difficult to distinguish the actual embroidered surface that comes into view, but you can find some shadows on it. It is really difficult to fabricate a pattern out of thin air and boast that it is lifelike. Even though Ling Jing is so excited and has so many exquisite orifices, even if he racks his brains, he is still at a loss for words. .

Ling Dang still had some discernment, so he quickly said to clarify, "embroidered wintersweet."

Ling Jing opened and closed her mouth, and it took a long time before she came up with a suitable word, "It's pretty good."

She turned her gaze with difficulty, and happened to catch a glimpse of Ling An reaching for the food plates placed on the table with his fleshy paws.

Ling Jing coughed twice immediately.

Ling An was so frightened that he retracted his thief's claws with a swish, straightened his back and pretended to be fine, pressed his greedy little hand back to the paper, straightened the penholder with his little pen-holding hand, and copied seriously.

Ling Jing was too lazy to expose him and told her mother-in-law, "Take away all the food."

The mother-in-law quickly took away the dishes, and Ling An glanced sideways, her face puffed up with anger, her fleshy rouge cheeks swollen, and when she looked sideways, she saw that her nose was gone, and she could only see the big round eyes under her long eyelashes. Eye.

"Hey, they're all here." Ling Qiong carried a box through the courtyard and up the steps.

Ji Ji didn't have his hands empty, so he followed her into the flower hall.

As soon as Ling An heard Ling Qiong's voice, he couldn't sit still. He ran out and hugged Ling Qiong's thigh. He raised his little face and looked at her eagerly.

"Our family." He called eldest sister, but he twisted his body and looked back at the food drawer that Ji was carrying.

"Hey, my little sweetheart is so cute. Come on, come on, give it to my sister." Ling Qiong knelt down and hugged him, kissing and kissing each other, her fleshy red cheeks soft and fragrant. So soft, it feels like a ball of glutinous cake rolling onto your face when you apply it.

"Sister," Ling Jing couldn't stand it. "Don't kiss him easily. Even though he's young, he has a good memory. He's just imitating everything he sees. Carefully, he will see a happy person in the future and imitate your words. Frivolous people.”

Ji had already stepped forward to open the food drawer. Ling Qiong happily fed Ling An and responded casually: "Okay, okay, I understand. I won't kiss you next time."

Ling Dang, who was serving as the backdrop, secretly turned away with a guilty conscience. In private, she often kissed Ling An's little face. She couldn't help it, the little guy was so attractive.

It is most painful for babies and young children to learn to speak.

It wouldn't be much fun if it was older.

Ling Qiong let go of Ling An, stood up, and said, "I was shopping around today, and there was a clothing store that made clothes in very new styles, and one person bought a set."

"Fourth girl." Ji already stepped forward and handed Lingdang a gift box. Lingdang thanked him and took it with both hands.

Ling Qiong walked up to Ling Jing with the box in hand, smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and said in a tired voice: "I also specially picked out a set of jewelry for you to match. Come on, go back to the house and put it on for me to see if it matches well." nice."

"Okay." Ling Jing knew that she was looking for an excuse to send someone away just to inquire about her life experience.

There is nothing bad about anything Ling Qiong personally selected. Ling Jing put on new clothes and let Ling Qiong hold her hand and spin around in front of the mirror, her skirt spread out like a butterfly.

"I'll dress you up." Ling Qiong pressed her to sit in front of the dressing table.

After taking off the jade bead hairpin, her black hair was like a waterfall, and the wooden comb slid from head to tail. Ling Qiong said, "A Jing, actually, since my mother left, I don't even remember what happened before."

"Eldest sister?" Ling Jing turned her head to look at her.

"I was injured on the head." Ling Qiong grabbed her right hand and touched her head. "I don't remember who hit me. I forgot a lot of things. It left a hole. It doesn't hurt or itch."

As expected, there was a dimple the size of a fingertip on the back of the head, which was uneven and could faintly touch the bone.

Ling Jing stood up suddenly, worried, "When did it happen?"

"I don't know." Ling Qiong said, "Whenever I think about the past, my mind goes blank. Jing, tell me the truth, is our family what Mrs. Ning Er said?"

Ling Jing lowered her eyelashes and said with a slight tremble, "Yes."

Ling Qiong was relieved, "I thought she was really so cruel, selling her daughter for glory and giving it to a dying man."

Ling Jing said: "Mom is a kind person and would never do such a heartless thing. Mrs. Ning Er asked you to celebrate, but there is something fishy about it. She definitely didn't tell the truth. And mother, she was born into a wealthy family, she can It is definitely not mediocre to endure hunger and pull us up. Sister, you might as well think about it carefully. Since my mother knew that putting words on paper would leave evidence that no one can argue with, why did she write a handwritten letter and hand it over? Mrs. Ning Er is Empress Wenzhen’s personal maid? It’s too far-fetched, there must be a hidden secret in this.”

Ling Qiong sat down and tugged at the teeth of her comb, "How much do you know about the previous dynasty?"

Ling Jing said: "I don't know much. Basically, what Madam Ning Er said is true. It was caused by Emperor Zhou usurping the throne. As for how my parents took you out of the palace in secret, no one except my parents can tell you." There is no way to know. But I know that Mrs. Ning Er has concealed a great secret."

"What is it?"

"One year after the former eldest princess of Jin Dynasty died of illness, Queen Wenzhen gave birth to a stillborn child, who was still a prince."

Ling Qiong heard Xian's intention, a bad premonition came to her heart, and she frowned, "You don't want to say..."

Ling Jing twisted a lock of hair around her fingertips and said sincerely: "The prince who was stillborn is not dead. Mrs. Ning hid the prince and escaped from the palace. She is now the third prince Ning, Ning Fu, also called Nan Ning Fu. , dedicated to restoring the country. Sister, do you want to see him? "

"I don't want to do that right now."

Ling Qiong secretly rolled her eyes.

Don’t you have enough kids at home to make a lot of noise?

She doesn't run a daycare.

What's more, the former prince knew he was in big trouble as soon as he heard it. If there was even a hint of adhesion, he would get into trouble for nothing.

Sitting across from each other, Ling Qiong held her black hair in her hands and carefully combed it. The smoke from the incense burner rose straight up, and the aroma filled her nose. She asked, "How did you know these things?"

Ling Jing had expected it and answered in a flawless manner, "I overheard it when my mother was still alive."

There really is no wall that is airtight.

"Who else in the family knows?" Ling Qiong is only worried about this. There are many brothers and sisters in the family, each with their own temperament, but there is no guarantee that one of them will hear it and let it slip one day, and she will be killed because of her.

She didn't want anyone to have an accident. Soul travels to another world and has such a large family fortune, not only because she can make money herself, but also because of mutual support and tolerance.

She felt relieved and relieved to have such sisters and brothers by her side, who were sincere and did not stumble.

You must not bring trouble to them because of your life experience.

She refused to recognize the original owner's biological brother even to death.

Whether it is a family feud or a national hatred, she is selfish and just wants to earn a few more taels of silver and settle into a wealthy home where she has no worries about food, clothing and water. Ling Jing took the opportunity to throw out Ling Huai, "Ah Huai knows."

Ling Qiong felt relieved, "Ah Huai is restrained and sensible. He won't talk nonsense. Apart from the letter in Mrs. Ning's hand, is there any other token or person who can confirm my life experience?"

Ling Jing said: "I'm not sure how much the couple, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Si Yun clan in Puyu County, know. After all, if my mother wanted to succeed, she had to use the gimmick of the Si Yun clan to open up all the joints. It was a very important matter. , they won’t be clueless.”

This is the truth. In the last life, A Dang was separated early. The second brother was away fighting all the time, and his parents were away. No one would rashly associate the Ling family with the Si Yun family.

Even if someone deliberately exposed the background of Ning Sangong and his eldest sister later, they wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Wuxuan King Lin Yilong. At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Si Yun of Puyu County wanted to recognize their second brother, but he declined. After that, he married and had children in the General's Mansion. When they got married, the eldest sister was still sitting in the high hall, and Si Yun of Puyu County had always been together. It's an acquaintance.

"As for the tokens, there is a brocade handkerchief embroidered by Empress Wenzhen with the birth date of the eldest princess, and a gold and jade lock that Emperor Gong'an ordered to bless the eldest princess. In addition to the auspicious words of blessing from the star official, there are also two gifts from the emperor on the lock. There are also several letters to Queen Wenzhen. The contents of the letters are obscure and difficult to understand. They must be the secret code specially made by the mother to prevent others from prying. The brocade handkerchief and the gold and jade lock given by the emperor are both unique honors and are known to the world. And these keepsakes, when my mother moved, she buried them in the back mountain together with the books."

Those letters became top secret. Lin Yilong secretly found many decryption experts, but he couldn't decipher a single word.

No one can know the content of the letter. "Peach and plum blossoms" are hidden in the boudoir between the lines, which can be seen but not audible.

The flower hall has good lighting and clear windows.

Ling Qiong and Ling Jing went into the boudoir to try on new clothes, but couldn't get out for a while.

Ling An, on the other hand, had to eat and ignored the rest. Before sitting down at the desk, he held a fresh snack in one hand and couldn't stop his mouth. He grabbed a pen in the other hand and kept drawing bastards. His calves were swaying in an extremely leisurely manner.

Ling Dang handed the box to Kui Qing and took it back to the house. She had so many new clothes that she couldn't wear them all, and she was never particular about dressing up.

"Ji Ji, wait for me." She called to Ji Ji, who turned around and walked out of the hall, and caught up with him in a few steps, "Are you going to Acen's courtyard to treat Guanqi's injuries? You're on your way, let's go together."

Ji has said bluntly: "What does the fourth girl want to know?"

Ling Dang chuckled, his intentions being revealed in person, and he said embarrassedly: "Um, watching the chess game, how is his injury?"

"Not fatal."

"But it's not optimistic, is it?"

"Everyone has his or her own destiny, so the four girls don't need to worry."

Ling Dang didn't like playing tricks, so she tilted her head towards him slightly, the tassels in her hair swayed slightly, and there was a slight tinkling sound when the collision happened. She pretended to be ignorant and said, "Do monks know how to tell lies?"

He replied to her warmly: "I am now a servant of the Ling family."

The cool breeze could not infiltrate the gentleness that comes with Ji already born. It had been a while since he came to the house, and I had never seen him frown and look cold. He was as calm as a clear water.

"I'm still the master."

Chongbai Courtyard was right in front of him, Ji already stepped forward, raised his hand forward, and said with a smile: "Four masters, please come first."

Ling Dang was not polite and entered the hospital first, "The doctor said that he might become blind or deaf, what do you think?"

Ji has said: "If you take good care of it, it won't happen."

The premise is to raise it carefully. Ling Dang understands and can cure it, but he is just a servant. The key lies in the master. The master must be kind and willing to waste his time.

Lingdang asked again: "Is he born mute?"

Ji turned his face to look at her and smiled softly, "It doesn't matter whether you are born or born, this is your life."

It's too late, there's no cure.

Ling Dang felt sorry for the child. He looked at the curtain in the inner room and said, "Is there nothing I can do?"

The maid who was waiting in the room came out to greet him and saluted him. Ji already returned the salute gently and said, "Some things are gone and cannot be replaced or grown back."

As soon as he said this, Ling Dang stopped suddenly, his eyes full of shock.

Gone?

He has no tongue? !

Ji has opened the curtain and gone in.

The smell of blood has not yet dissipated in the room, and the pungent smell of medicine cannot suppress the remaining trace of blood.

Ji had already bent down for a detailed follow-up examination. After checking his pulse with both hands, he felt Li Guanqi's bones up and down while he was lying on the bed.

Then he asked the maid when she woke up, how she was taking the medicine, and how she was feeling today. She patiently asked her all the details.

Li Guanqi only had one pair of eyes that could still move. The foggy and lifeless eyes were the eyes that had been plagued by the disease and had accepted their fate.

"Take good care of yourself and don't think too much." Ling Huai leaned forward, pointed to the room and carefully explained the taboo illness to the maid, and comforted Li Guanqi softly, "His medical skills are very good. The family specially sent him to treat you. He I could cure your illnesses before, and now I can cure your injuries, and you will definitely get better slowly."

Li Guanqi blinked.

Ling Dang said: "In the future, I can guarantee that Ah Cen will never ignore you, let alone let others bully you. Ah Cen has a bad temper, and his words are unpleasant. He is hated by others, but don't resent him. , he will definitely find out the culprit and apologize to you in person. If he says something unpleasant in the future, you must not take it to heart, just relax and take good care of yourself is the most important thing."

"Try to sleep according to your usual schedule. Don't let him sleep for a long time during the day. Talk to him more and stay awake to avoid the expansion of blood clots in the brain." Ji Ji told the serving maid, took the medicine, and went outside to watch. The maid boils the medicine.

Ling Dang moved a stool and sat beside the bed, talking to himself, asking him to blink his eyes in response to her.

After school in the afternoon, Ling Cen came home early on a rare day. He rushed into the room with books in hand. He first ran to the bedside and took a look at Li Guanqi. Seeing that he was sane and clear, he went to the desk and put down the books. He took down the books and put them on the hanging shelf. , picked up a pen and started copying the book. The handwriting was scrawled, as if it had been pecked by a chicken or scratched by a dog.

"Did you create this character yourself?" The character was written in such a way that Ling Dang didn't recognize a word of it. To say it was a ghost-drawing talisman would be an exaggeration.

Ling Cen was very proud, "If you write this way, you won't notice that you are missing arms or legs."

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten back and rewritten?"

"What are you afraid of? If you rewrite it a hundred times, it will still be the same. Of course, sir, you won't bother to read it or punish me."

If you are opportunistic, you are second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

Ling Dang walked around to his side, peeked at the door curtain, leaned into his ear and whispered in his ear, "How did you handle it?"

Ling Cen covered his mouth with his hand and whispered into her ear: "I secretly put a few little treasures on their desk."

Ling Dang glared at him, "Be careful of being discovered, just walk around."

Ling Cenzhi placed a cricket in her ear with great satisfaction, "Fourth sister, don't worry, I'm not stupid. Poison is my trump card, but I've never mentioned it to the outside world. Except for a few people in our own family, who else knows that I can do it?" "

"I know." Ji already came in holding a bowl of medicine and lifting the curtain.
