Ning Chen Ling Xiao

Ling Xiao learned a few articles from his master in the morning, and before noon, he took a leave of absence and returned to the Hou's Mansion.

Ling Ruxue is taking a rest today, and as usual, he will come back to compare his and Ling Xuan's articles.Ling Xuan is the son of Xia Lansheng, the eldest son of Ling Ruxue.

Ling Xiao has never had a good impression of Ling Ruxue. Even if he lived together for more than ten years, he couldn't cultivate any feelings. The same is true for Ling Ruxue. He has no affection for the two children left by his first wife, but he has no affection for Xia Lan. The two children born to her loved each other very much, so they were always taught by Lord Ling.

Ling Ruxue is no longer the stupid, stagnant, tooth-itching boy who made people hate him. He is about to reach the year of destiny, and Ling Ruxue is much more stable.But his talents are limited, no matter how promoted Ling Hou Ye can only reach the position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he can't get up no matter what.

Lord Ling Hou was only Gao Zhiyuan when he accompanied Taizu to fight the world. He is one of the most famous people in the world. Now that his son is not up to date, the old man is somewhat emotional. Fortunately, his grandson Ling Xiao is a very clever child, who is less than ten years old. At that time, he designed a bow and arrow with excellent accuracy, which improved the army's bow and crossbow in one fell swoop, and the great grandfather also praised him greatly, which made Ling Hou look good.

In fact, it is very simple for Ling Xiao. He is a college student engaged in engineering mechanics research. He has many precious law formulas in his stomach. He is also a boy. He is interested in these military equipment. It is not difficult, but It is still very easy to improve these cold weapons, if he is not afraid of causing trouble, he can make more things.

However, Ling Xiao was taught by Lord Ling Hou since he was a child, and he knows the importance of restraining his edge. Back then, Ling Chunqiu assisted the Taizu in conquering the country and won no rewards. In the last three times, he made the decision of the Taizu to be king. He got the title of Shou Kanghou.In the next 20 years, seven kings with different surnames fell one after another, and everyone understood Ling Chunqiu's wisdom back then.

Ling Xiao was taught by Ling Hou Ye since he was a child, and he knows the reason. When Ling Confucianism was tested on their articles this day, Ling Xiao agreed casually and didn't pay much attention.

Ling Xuan was enlightened early, and was taught by Ling Ruxue himself, so he is naturally much better than Ling Xiao.

Ling Ruxue asked for a while, and Fu Xu said comfortingly: "Xuan'er has improved a lot, Ling Xiao! Learn more from your elder brother, go."

"Yes." Ling Xiao bowed his head and agreed, raised his head and raised one eyebrow to glance at Ling Xuan. Ling Xuan panicked for no reason, and agreed to leave the study.

After leaving Ling Ruxue's study, Ling Xuan obviously relaxed a lot, smiled and patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder: "Is there something going on today? Du Shilang's son invited me to drink, and you will follow?"

Ling Xiao smiled, and narrowed his big red phoenix eyes: "No, big brother can go on his own, my writing is not good, so I have to find more time to read more books."

Although Ling Xiao doesn't like to inquire about Ling Xuan's affairs, he can still know a little bit about the affairs in the same mansion. Ling Xuan is already sixteen, and Ling Confucianism is preparing to donate an official to him. He claimed to be a famous person, and these few months he always went out to drink, drink and gamble with the children of the family, but he only kept it a secret from inside.

Every time Ling Xiao saw Ling Xuan acting like an aspiring young man in front of Ling Confucianism and Lord Ling Hou, he felt uncomfortable, disdain to say more, turned and went into the backyard.

Ling Xiao made Ling Zhi's head in the jewelry shop outside yesterday. It was designed by Ling Xiao himself, he chose the best material and asked the master to type it out, because it was inconvenient to enter Ling Zhi because he came back late yesterday. Shu Yuxuan, now I have time to come in.

Ling Zhi's mother-in-law is teaching Ling Zhi how to do needlework. Seeing Ling Xiao coming, they all salute. Ling Xiao let them go down. Ling Zhi hasn't seen Ling Xiao for a few days. The little girl is only ten years old, and she is still very clingy I got out of bed and said with a smile: "Why did my brother come to see me today? Is dad back?"

Ling Xiao smiled, and took out an exquisite gold-painted sandalwood box from behind, and said with a smile, "Open it yourself."

Ling Zhi giggled and hugged it and opened it. The box was divided. The outermost one was a small golden step, but there were more than a dozen peonies carved on it. The big peonies in the middle looked like water drops falling out of their hearts. Grains of rubies are strung on thin gold chains, which is exquisitely crafted.

There are also two gold hairpins, which are hollowed out and carved with peony flowers, but they are much more elegant and more atmospheric.There is also a pair of golden silk bracelets, which are also decorated with water-drop-like rubies, and you can tell that they are designed by a set.

Although Ling Zhi is young, she has reached the age of love beauty. She has never seen any ladies wearing this style of jewelry. She can tell at a glance that her brother personally drew her a new look. She happily pulled Ling Xiao Holding the gorgeous and exquisite Bu Yao with a smile, he couldn't put it down, and said happily, "Thank you brother, it's so beautiful...I'll wear it tomorrow, it's so beautiful..."

Ling Pheasant was born without a mother, not as good as Ling Xiao, and she is a girl, without a mother to teach her how to love her, she looks pitiful. Fortunately, there are grandpa and aunt who are kind, and there is a brother like Ling Xiao, who eats and wears Never been wronged.

"Put it on if you like it now, and let my brother take a look." Ling Xiao sat on the couch and took a small snack to eat, and said happily, "It's pine nuts!"

Ling Xiao followed one of Ling Hou Ye's big hobbies: he loves nuts.All nuts, pine nuts, melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts... There is nothing the grandpa and grandson don't like. Nuts are a must for daily snacks.

Ling Zhi smiled shyly: "My mother taught me to make... I just made pine nuts, as long as my brother likes it."

Ling Xiao ate a few more yuan after hearing the words, and praised: "My sister is really grown up now, not bad... I will send a plate to Grandpa in a while, I must like it."

Ling Zhi's maids helped her loosen her hair and put it in a high bun, and put on the new jewelry. Ling Zhi looked at herself in the mirror and smiled like a flower: "It's so beautiful..." He said and pulled Ling Xiao's hair up. hands, and said with a smile: "Then I'll make some more snacks for brother when I come back."

Ling Xiao tapped the tip of Ling Zhi's nose: "Being more and more obedient."

Mrs. Li, who was talking and laughing next to Mrs. Shi, passed by.

It's here, Yi Fushen said with a smile: "Second Master and Second Miss are here, my wife asked me to say something, let Second Master and Second Miss have dinner together at noon, so that it will be more lively."

Madam Li was Mrs. Shi's dowry girl, she was also considered an old man of the Ling family, and she was also an old and meritorious servant girl. The golden piece on this head, the gem beads seem to flow from the peony flower on the head... Tsk tsk, I have never seen such a beautiful one in my life."

"Mom made fun of us again." Ling Xiao smiled, "My sister was already blushing a little, but it looks better when you say it."

Mother Li glanced at the newly made box on the table, and she knew that Ling Xiao made it again to make Ling Zhi happy, and said with a smile: "Second Master is doing better and better like this, I guarantee it, no After a month, the patterns on the heads of the ladies in the imperial capital will change again." After saying a few words of flattery, she bowed and left.

At noon, Ling Xiao and Ling Zhi went to Mrs. Shi's yard together, and came in as soon as they invited An Lingyi. Ling Yi was the young lady Xia Lan gave birth to.After seeing each other, they sat down in order. Mrs. Shi was over seventy years old, but she was still in good spirits. She asked loudly, "Where is Boy Xuan? Did you get called?"

One of Mrs. Shi's eldest girls, Ning'er, agreed: "The young master is out, and he said he was invited by some servant boy."

Ling Yi also knew that her elder brother was going to be an official, and with unconcealable pride in her brows and eyes, she said with a smile: "Yes, my elder brother also said that the children of these aristocratic families always invite him out to socialize recently, and it's always hard not to. "

"Well, Ling Xuan is getting more and more promising." Although Mrs. Shi doesn't like Ling Xuan and Ling Yi very much, she can't go wrong in the big picture. She has never treated them badly in these years as the head of the family. They are all the same as Ling Xiao and Ling Yi. She also knows a little bit about Ling Ruxue's donation to Ling Xuan. Mrs. Shi is calm on the surface, but in fact she feels that Ling Ruxue is a little anxious. How old is Ling Xuan, so anxious do what?Mrs. Shi sneered in her heart, it might not be due to the Xia family in the west courtyard.

Embarrassed for a moment, Li's mother interjected at the right time and said with a smile: "Ma'am, look at the Bu Yao on the head of the second young lady. I have never seen such a beautiful one. The beads look as if they are about to flow down. It is still the second young master." It's a clever idea, it's hard for him to come here at such an age."

Only then did Mrs. Shi notice the newly worn Bu Yao on Ling Zhi's head, and said joyfully, "Come here and let my aunt take a good look... Your brother bought it for you again." Ling Zhi smiled and walked to Mrs. Shi's side, Mrs. Shi He took Ling Zhi into his arms and admired it for a while, then said with a smile: "It's really good! The appearance and material are all rare and good... It's just that wearing Dongzhu's earrings is not suitable." Then he thought of something, Greeting Mother Li to go to the back: "Go, I remember that I have a pair of ruby ​​earrings, bring them here and let the second lady change them, they will look good... Well, bring that pair of opal earrings for the eldest lady too. "

Ling Zhi and Ling Yi quickly thanked, Mrs. Shi

He took the earrings and put them on for Ling Zhi himself. The more he looked at them, the more he fell in love with them: "This is so beautiful..."

Ling Xiao was leisurely holding the melon seed box and knocking on the melon seeds, sighing, "It's just that I don't have a reward." Mrs. Shi smiled heartily: "What reward do you want! I don't have anything you can wear."

While talking and laughing, a girl came to ask if the meal was set, Mrs. Shi smiled: "Yes, let's eat."

Don't talk when you sleep, don't talk when you eat.

After a meal, everyone ate tea. Ling Yi looked at the Bu Yao on Ling Zhi's head and became more and more moved. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Second sister, this Bu Yao looks really good, second brother! You can also make a copy for me. , the same."

Ling Xiao put down the teacup slowly, turned his head and took a deep look at Ling Yi, Ling Yi felt guilty and afraid for some reason.
