"Ah, Miss Chang?" The woman's voice contained a hint of surprise and a smile.
Chang Suining looked around and saw that it was Duan, the wife of Duke Zheng.
"Mrs. Duan." Chang Sui Ning lamented in his heart and greeted her.
Duan laughed and said, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect Mrs. Chang to come here to observe the phenomenon."
"I have met the Duke's wife." Yao Xia also stepped forward to salute, and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Sister Wei come here?"
"She, how can she be so thoughtful and hardworking, she can't compare with you." After Duan answered, she looked at Chang Suining casually, and her tone was equally casual: "But my incompetent son is here.
Understand."
The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Duan only felt that her mood was quite complicated. Madam's "off the cuff" was just as abrupt as when someone said that the weather was really nice today, Madam covered her mouth and replied with a look of surprise: No.
Well, do you know that my son who has not yet been engaged is also here?
Just... people obviously didn't ask about this!
Thanks to her having been with Madam for many years and developing a thick skin, she was not so embarrassed at this moment.
Fortunately, Lady Chang reacted as usual, just nodded and said: "Wei Shilang is an important official of the imperial court, and he should accompany the saints."
The emperor prayed for blessings for seven days, but he could not forget all the affairs of the government. Just like going to a mountain villa to escape the heat in the summer, no unscrupulous emperor would really just go there to escape the summer heat. Otherwise, after months of summer heat, the weather would be cold.
It's time for the throne of the country to die.
To put it bluntly, it is just a temporary change of place to handle government affairs.
Mrs. Zheng Guogong smiled and sighed: "I didn't see a shadow of him all day long."
He didn't say anything more, he just took the hands of Chang Sui Ning and Yao Xia: "Let's go over there and have a look..."
Although the idols were attractive, they lost much interest after looking at them for a long time. Most of the people present were wealthy officials and ladies who had seen the world. After a while, they saw that the sky was getting dark, so they dispersed in twos and threes chatting and laughing.
.
Duan invited Chang Suining and Yao Xia to her place to eat some vegetarian food together and copy some scriptures, saying they just wanted to keep her company.
She was so kind that Chang Suining tried to politely refuse but to no avail, so she had no choice but to go along - of course, subconsciously, it was half-hearted. If she really didn't want to go, there was no way to hold her against her with a knife.
If she had nothing to do, she would still be willing to stay with Mr. Duan and listen to his talk.
Chang Sui Ning and Yao Xia accompanied Mrs. Zheng Guogong to finish the simple vegetarian meal, and the maid had already prepared paper and pen.
…
On the other side, Yao Ran was also accompanying Mr. Pei in copying scriptures.
At this time, Pei's wife came in and bowed.
"I heard that Mr. Da Lang has returned from watching the elephants. The old lady told me to take a rest early and don't worry about copying too late."
Mrs. Pei didn't even raise her eyes. She sat upright in front of the small table and wrote: "I'm already here, why should I worry about hurting my nerves?"
"Second sister is back too?" Yao Ran asked subconsciously.
Mrs. Pei turned his head slightly and looked at her displeased.
Yao Ran realized that she had made a mistake. Her mother had always disliked her being too close to her second sister... so she quickly lowered her head and continued copying.
The dowry woman didn't know what she thought of, but she answered her question politely, and looked at Pei: "The second lady has not returned yet. It is said that she and the Chang family were invited by Mrs. Zheng Guogong to go with her.
I’ve copied the scriptures.”
When Pei stroked his pen, the ink smeared and ruined the entire paper.
She sneered and simply dropped the pen: "That's all Duan's shallow vision is."
It was obvious that Ran'er of her family was the most outstanding in terms of background, temperament, talent and learning, but Duan Shi deliberately acted stupid in front of her and didn't say anything. Instead, he took that little bitch and even that idiot Yao Xia into his eyes.
!
Since childhood, she has maintained her identity as the eldest daughter of the Pei family, not to mention outsiders, so that among all the Pei sisters, she also considers herself to be superior. Pei, who grew up being supported by others, thinks of all the unfavorable circumstances she has encountered since marrying into the Yao family.
And every time she returned to her mother's house, the girls from the concubine clan who were better married than her would secretly cast strange glances...
But now, even a Duan dared to shame her, and she chose to look at that little bitch. Mrs. Pei closed her eyes, and the fire in her heart couldn't help but burn brighter and hotter.
Yao Ran wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know where to start, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty - if she could win the favor of Mrs. Zheng Guogong, her mother wouldn't be so angry, right?
But there are some contradictions... Growing up, if she did not do well, her mother would be disappointed, punished and ridiculed with words. But if she did well, her mother would only sneer and say, "It was like this earlier, why would she be punished?", or even
When he was extremely angry, he would also say, "If you were a son of a bitch, how could I force you to do this?"
Thinking of this, Yao Ran continued to copy scriptures quietly.
No matter what she did, she was the culprit in her mother's mind who caused the birth mother to be unable to have children, the source of all evils - and this "criminal karma" was even worse than hers.
's father.
After the woman finished answering, she did not do anything else or step aside, but still stood where she was.
Mrs. Pei opened her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law, who said nothing for a moment.
Mrs. Pei glanced at her daughter: "It's getting late. Go back and rest. Don't delay the blessing ceremony tomorrow."
"My daughter is not tired yet." Even so, Yao Ran still subconsciously stopped writing, but after a moment of hesitation, he finally said: "My mother has been looking bad recently, and my daughter is worried. She wants to serve her mother and rest first."
Mrs. Pei frowned slightly: "There are servants here. If I need you to take care of me, don't let me waste my time."
Yao Ran tightened her hands on her knees. The fear she had accumulated over the years made her dare not say anything more. She could only say "yes", get up, give a blessing, and leave the place.
After the door was closed, Mrs. Pei looked at the old lady.
Yao Ran deliberately walked slowly, paying careful attention to the movement in the room behind him, but could not hear anything.
She could only speed up her steps and return to the Zen room adjacent to Pei's house. She listened silently and carefully through a wall.
But it was strangely quiet next door, as if there was no sound at all.
Yao Ran felt slightly relieved, but he could not relax his clenched fingers.

On Mrs. Zheng Guogong's side, Chang Suining and Yao Xia have each finished copying a scripture.
When he was about to copy the second article, Chang Sui Ning suddenly thought of something -
After she became A Li, whether she wrote a letter to Zhou Ding or wrote to Yao Xia, she deliberately imitated A Li's previous handwriting. Although it cannot be said that it is very similar, it is at least eighty percent.
Due to some experiences that are different from ordinary people, she is very good at changing and imitating other people's handwriting.
For example, the Buddhist scripture she just finished copying was also written in Ah Li's handwriting - this will be her most used handwriting in the future.
But since the "rework", only once did she use her real handwriting...
When she first woke up in Zhoujia Village in Hezhou, she couldn't tell what night it was or who she was. Her mind was in chaos. Many of her actions were driven by instinct, and her actions had nothing to do with caution.
, it’s just a random operation——
When she asked the couple to confess their crimes, the confession sheets she wrote were in her own handwriting.
And she gave the confession to Wei Shuyi.
This matter is not big or small, but it can be small or big——
In particular, Wei Shuyi is a very shrewd person, and always has the intention of exploring things when dealing with her. He is not afraid of anything but the worst, and may need to give a reasonable explanation as soon as possible to avoid possible troubles in the future.
"Would you like to take a break?" Seeing that she had not started writing again, Mrs. Zheng Guogong asked with a smile.
Yao Xia on the side was about to nod when he heard Chang Sui Ning say: "Thank you madam, I'm not tired yet."
Seeing her lowering her head and continuing to copy scriptures, Yao Xia almost sighed - Sister Chang family is so beautiful, how can she still work so hard? How could there be such a charming and tiring sister in the world?
It's really addictive - in two senses.
On one level, Yao Xia had no choice but to continue copying scriptures.
When Chang Sui Ning finished copying the article in his hand, he put down the pen, put the two pictures side by side, and pushed them in front of Duan: "Can you help me, madam, to see which of these two pictures has better characters and is more beautiful?"
Is it suitable for copying scriptures?"
Duan didn't understand the meaning at first, but when he took two pictures to look at the calligraphy, especially the second one, he was stunned: "This calligraphy..."
After a while, she took her eyes away from the words and looked at the girl beside her in surprise: "Mrs. Chang can actually write two kinds of handwriting? I just don't know who the second kind of handwriting is...who did she learn from?"
The girl answered simply: "I learned it by copying the handwriting of Princess Chongyue when I was young."
As expected, it belongs to His Highness...
Duan asked softly: "Why do you want to learn the calligraphy of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Her Highness's calligraphy is not easy to learn..."
"When I was naughty when I was young, I accidentally discovered a collection of poems by the eldest princess in the library at home. The handwriting on it was so powerful and powerful. I was very happy to see it, so I was good at making opinions and studying it for a while. After being reminded, I realized that it was written by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
The thing was left behind by the late prince by chance." Chang Sui Ning said as calmly as possible.
"That's how it is..." Mrs. Duan smiled: "You are very talented, learn well, and you are very similar."
Chang Suining: "It's not as good as the eldest princess."
Being humble, but not being humble at all - this kind of state is quite strange.
"No, it's already very good." Mrs. Duan looked at the words again and said: "You were right just now. Her Royal Highness the Princess's words are very powerful and powerful. I was fortunate enough to be selected as the companion reader for Her Royal Highness the Princess. She
I am most familiar with the characters... It is rare for you to have eighty similarities, which is already very rare."
Chang Sui Ning was silent for a moment - was there still eight points? She originally wanted to get seven points.
As for when she was originally in Hezhou, she was unable to write when she first woke up, and she was only about 70-80% "like", so she could have gotten away with it.
"I heard that you were rescued by His Royal Highness, the late Crown Prince?" As soon as the topic came up, Mrs. Duan asked one more question.
Chang Suining nodded.
"His Royal Highness, the former Crown Prince, and Princess Chongyue are twin siblings." Duan looked at the girl in front of her and said with emotion: "So, you and Your Highness, the eldest princess, are somewhat destined."
Chang Suining nodded again.
It's hard to disagree.
"This calligraphy is also very beautiful. It is gentle but smart, and it is also very good." Duan looked at another calligraphy again, praised it, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, they are all
Excellent, it depends on which one you like more and which one is more comfortable to write... When praying for blessings and copying scriptures, just do it sincerely, the Buddha will sense it."
Chang Suining thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "Thank you, madam, for enlightening me. I understand."
These words made Mrs. Duan laugh in surprise - she can also enlighten others! She actually has such potential?
At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a "bang" sound, which made the table in front of them shake slightly.
Chang Suining and Duan turned their heads to look together.
