little wife

Chapter 41

The candlelight was flickering, and the red and happy color that could be seen was dyed a halo of yellow by the candle, making it look extraordinarily charming.

The boy Yinuo is hard to catch up with, not to mention that Ning Luo is indeed still young. If the two get along well, I'm afraid it will hurt Ning Luo's body, but it's not difficult to wait for another three or four months. .

Just as he was about to extinguish the candle, he suddenly saw a jade plaque hanging around Ning Luo's neck. The jade plaque was shining softly. The patterns of unicorns and lotus flowers were exquisite, especially the lotus flower seemed to be soaked in blood, and the bright red spots were very eye-catching.

Jing Yun was stunned for a moment, and carefully rubbed the jade tablet on his fingertips for a moment, and it felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

With this doubt, he slowly fell asleep.

"You all lied to me! She didn't die, she couldn't die! I came to save her, how could she die!"

"What's the use of this world? Can I bring her back to life?"

"Whoever killed her, I will let him be crushed, and he will never be reborn!"

"We were all wrong...wrong..."

Many voices rang out all around, and they sounded very familiar. The voices contained extreme pain, which made Jing Yun almost feel the same. Lying lifelessly on a big bed, white gauze was flying around, and a pool of blood beside her was shocking.

He couldn't believe his eyes, isn't the woman in white clothes Luo Er?How could Luo'er be lying there, she was obviously beside him!

"Luo'er! Is that you, Luo'er? What's wrong with you?" He ran towards the woman in white, but found that there seemed to be an invisible wall blocking his figure in front of him.

A sigh came from beside him, and he turned his head quickly, only to see Ning Luo standing beside him with a sad expression.

"Luo'er," he stretched out his arms to hug her in surprise and joy, "Fortunately, you're fine!"

However, his hand was missing, and Ning Luo retreated away: "Brother Jing, so you lied to me, you don't like me, I'm leaving..."

Jing Yun was covered in cold sweat, and suddenly woke up from the nightmare.

The candle flame was still flickering, occasionally there was a crackling sound, and the night was still dark outside the window.Ning Luo was sleeping soundly next to her, thinking about what dream she was having right now, with a slight smile on her lips, but her sleeping posture was not good, the quilt was kicked off, revealing most of her body.

Jing Yun tucked the quilt up for her, but seeing Ning Luo wriggling again, he had no choice but to hug Ning Luo tightly into his arms.

There was a pleasant fragrance on Ning Luo's body, lingering around inadvertently, Jing Yun relaxed and fell asleep again.

This time he slept soundly, and when he woke up, it was already bright, and when he lowered his head, he saw that Ning Luo had also woken up.

The two looked at each other, Ning Luo's face was reddish, and she avoided shyly: "Brother Jing, it's time to get up."

Jing Yun held her face and said in a hoarse voice, "Did Luoer sleep well? I didn't sleep well all night."

Ning Luo saw that his eyes were indeed blue and black, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Is it because of me?"

"Yeah, it turns out that Luo'er can talk in sleep at night, and even snores and grinds her teeth." Jing Yun teased.

Ning Luo took a look at him: "I thought Big Brother Dao Jing was an upright person, but he also likes to talk nonsense, why Qing Zhu and the others never mentioned it, I think it was you who snored and grinded your teeth."

Jing Yun leaned over to hold those delicate lips and rubbed them together for a while, only to let Ning Luo gasp for kisses before releasing his lips, and said with a low laugh: "I'm only talking nonsense in front of you alone. "

The two were tired of being together and talked about love, and then they got up and called someone.

The maids outside the house came in to take care of the wash, Qingzhu and Zijing were dowry maids, so naturally they would not be absent, and Clover and Yingxiang were also there, and when they saw Jing Yun, they all bowed and saluted and called the prince.

"I specially sent someone to train these two. Clover knows some kung fu, and Yingxiang is good at medicinal food. The two of them are by your side. I can rest assured when I go in and out." Jing Yun pointed to the two maidservants and said , "You two must serve Madam with all your heart. If you make any mistake, you will be punished severely."

Jing Yun's voice was as solemn as ever, Clover and Yingxiang were used to it, they all agreed, and stood aside with bowed heads, obviously the rules are very strict, Green Bamboo and Amethyst are unavoidably a little scared, this is for Ning Luo to wash up His hands trembled a little, and a few drops of water in the basin spilled out.

Jing Yun was obviously a little dissatisfied: "Let me do it."

Green Bamboo plucked up the courage to refuse: "How can this be done, this is the job of the servants, the son just needs to rest."

Jing Yun still wanted to talk, but Ning Luo said softly, "You better wash and change your clothes quickly, and don't miss it and greet grandma and parents."

Princess Tao An, the old lady of the Marquis of Dingyun, is a devout Taoist. Since the old Marquis left, she has been living in the small Taoist temple in the backyard of the Houfu. The Taoist temple enshrines the saints of the Three Purities. It is simple and heavy.

When Ning Luo and Jing Yun arrived, everyone in the inner hall was already assembled, and sitting in the middle was Princess Tao An. very similar.The Eldest Princess, who is over fifty this year, has silver hair all over her head, her brows are like swords and her lips are tightly pressed. It is obvious that she was a strong and decisive woman when she was young.

Dingyun Hou Jingcheng and his wife Yu Mingyu sat under the eldest princess. Although Jingcheng is a civil servant, his temperament is quite different from Ning Zhenchuan's. Profound, obviously because he usually thinks and thinks a lot, only when he laughs can he have a bit of amiability.

At the side, Mrs. Hou looked as if she had been ill for a long time. Her body was thin and her face was sickly. She was leaning weakly on the cushion behind her. There was a maid beside her who was gently kneading her forehead. She presumably had a chronic headache. .

Sitting on the other side of the eldest princess was a beautiful woman, about thirty or so. Ning Luo had heard Jing Yun mention that this was Jing Cheng's concubine named Qing Niang, who was Yu Mingyu's dowry girl, and Qing Niang was sitting next to her. There is a little boy less than ten years old and a girl who is twelve or thirteen years old. They are Jing Yun's younger siblings Jing Zheng and Jing Xi. These younger siblings are all born of Yu Mingyu. Yu Mingyu and her siblings, so Yu Mingyu and Jing Cheng respect her very much.

As soon as he saw Jing Yun, Jing Zheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he jumped off his chair with joy and rushed towards him: "Brother, why did you come here? I've been waiting for quite a while."

Ning Luo's face suddenly became hot, and she felt a little uneasy. As a bride, she should have arrived earlier, but was delayed by Jing Yun for a long time. I don't know if these elders would feel uncomfortable.

Jing Yun immediately picked up Jing Zheng and lifted it high, Jing Zheng screamed happily, and Qing Niang rushed up to greet her and shouted: "My son, be careful, don't fall Zheng'er."

"Brother, come again." Jing Zheng's face was flushed with excitement, but he still refused to get down.

Jing Yun lifted him up twice before putting him down, patted his head and said: "There are no rules, have you called sister-in-law yet?"

"Sister-in-law." Jing Zheng obviously listened to Jing Yun's words, and called out crisply, then looked up at Ning Luo, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly grinned, "Sister-in-law is so pretty."

Ning Luo pursed her lips and smiled: "Zheng'er is also a handsome little boy."

There is nothing false in this statement, Jing Zheng has brought together the advantages of his parents, he has a square face and outstanding facial features, and he looks very cute with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

There was a child making such a fuss, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Ning Luo went up to meet the elders and served tea. The elders gave the meeting gifts one by one. Princess Tao An was a pair of jade bracelets, and the jade bracelets were carved with dragons and phoenixes. The pattern of Chengxiang was passed down to Princess Tao An by the first emperor, and it was given to Ning Luo today, obviously because Ning Luo valued it very much.

And Jing Cheng and Yu Mingyu gave a pair of emerald pearl hairpins, which are also rare treasures.

The gifts that Ning Luo prepared for his younger siblings were also carefully selected, a set of lifelike animals carved from white jade and a pair of calligraphy and paintings by the famous Luye Shanren from the former dynasty. Both Jing Zheng and Jing Xi liked them very much.

It’s just that Ning Luo sat on the sidelines and listened to their family’s gossip. She always felt that something was wrong. With this little fellow Jing Zheng in the middle of the fun, I am afraid that the inner hall will become silent.

If this were in the Ning family, a few grandchildren could coax the old lady around, and the old lady would laugh and curse at the grandsons, hugging and coaxing them when she was happy, and beating them with a cane when she was angry. The eldest princess asked and encouraged in such a serious manner that she looked like a boss and subordinate instead of grandparents.

"Since you have entered the court, there is nothing you can do," Princess Tao An said lightly, "I just can't stand the intrigue of those courtiers. If you have any foreign errands someday, you can go and receive them." Well, in my opinion, leading troops to fight and defending the country are the feelings a man should have, so don't go to His Majesty's camp."

"Yes." Jing Yun replied blankly.

Yu Mingyu's lips moved, he wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

Jing Zheng happily said: "Yes, grandma, I also want to fight, fight bad people."

Qing Niang hugged him and said with a smile: "Zheng'er is still young, it's time to learn the skills first."

Princess Tao An also smiled, beckoned to Jing Zheng, and motioned to her side, Jing Zheng jumped into her arms in a few steps.

"You're not a small person. Grandma came to test you. What will you recite?"

"I've memorized a long section of the Analects of Confucius, and the master praised me for being smart." Jing Zheng recited it proudly, and everyone in the room looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Ning Luo took a sneak peek at Jing Yun, who still had a serious expression on his face, looking out of place among a group of smiling family members.

Is this the difference between the eldest son and youngest son?The eldest son shoulders the burden of the family, so he must be calm and dignified, but without this burden, the youngest son can be loved by thousands of people?
She was thinking wildly, when suddenly she heard someone calling her: "Young Madam."

Ning Luo suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at the young lady who called her.

Qing Niang smiled slightly, with a respectful expression: "Everyone is here today, so I just mentioned this matter. Madam is sick, and I have been in charge of this house for some time. Today, the young lady is here, out of emotion and reason, young lady The madam should be in charge of the middle class, I don't know what the young lady wants?"
