Chapter 265: Aunt Nan
Coming out of the Li family, Xu Wanzhen walked to Mr. Ning's courtyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis courtyard is in a secluded corner in the southeast of Wenhan Ju, and it is quiet.
Walking into the courtyard gate covered with small yellow flower vines, Sang Zi brushed away the hanging branches, and Xu Wanzhen's eyes lit up.
The furnishings in the courtyard are simple and elegant, and there are flowers and plants dotted everywhere.
In the courtyard, there is a long-standing guqin on the bluestone case, and a woman with an indifferent temperament is wearing a stone blue dark flower dress, sitting on a stone bench and studying the piano score. Sandalwood burned in the bronze incense burner in the corner, and the fragrance curled out, making her feel as if she was in a painting.
Xu Wanzhen motioned for Sang Zi to wait at the gate of the courtyard, and approached gently, lest she wake up this beautiful picture.
Feeling someone approaching, Mr. Ning raised his head and said with a faint smile: "Are you here?" ”
Xu Wanzhen sat down, and Mr. Ning held the pot in his hand and poured her a cup of tea.
The fragrance of tea lingers, but it is far from the taste of tea nowadays. Xu Wanzhen sniffed it carefully and tasted it slowly: "Roses, chrysanthemums, longan, wolfberries, red dates, and a taste?"
Mr. Ning nodded with a smile: "It's good to be able to taste these, and there is also a thousand days of red." This tea has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, soothing the liver and relieving depression. I heard that you are sick these days, and it is better to drink this tea than green tea, I have prepared it, you can take some back. ”
Her eyebrows and eyes are indifferent, and her conversation is not warm but very comfortable.
"Thank you for Mr. Ning's tea. ”
saw her sneering, as bright as a spring flower: "It seems that both of you and I are deeply affected by here." The words are all in accordance with the rules, and there is still a shadow of the past to be found. She suddenly sighed.
"How long have you been here?" asked Mr. Ning bluntly.
Xu Wanzhen couldn't keep up with her jumping conversation like this, and was interrupted just when she was about to say something, so she had to answer truthfully: "It's not a long time, I only came here in the autumn of the old year." ”
Mr. Ning sighed and said, "I've been here for thirty years, so long that I have to forget what my previous life was like." If you don't remind you all the time, you will almost forget that you still have a past life. Until I saw the lyrics you sent, do you know how shocked I was?"
Xu Wanzhen nodded, how could she not be shocked when she saw the score? Of course she understood her feelings.
Mr. Ning's indifferent eyebrows revealed an excited look: "I thought I was the only one in the world, but I didn't expect there to be an old man." Before I came, I was a guqin teacher, and in my spare time, I liked to tinker with some ancient Chinese culture and study the women's play and makeup in the boudoir. At that time, purely out of curiosity, I didn't expect that I would be able to make a living from this for the rest of my life here. ”
She was honest with each other, and Xu Wanzhen did not hide it: "Before I came, I had just graduated from the Curtis School of Music and returned to China. ”
"Oh, what kind of music are you studying?"
"Piano. ”
Mr. Ning: "Although the music is all the same, your piano here is not as good as my professional counterpart." ”
Hearing the long-lost modern words, the distance between the two suddenly became much closer. Xu Wanzhen smiled: "What you said is that I have studied piano for 20 years, and it is really useless here." The only good thing is that I can understand the music of the gentleman. ”
Mr. Ning smiled heartily and said, "There are only two of you and me in this world, so don't come to Mr. and go, it seems very out-of-the-box." My maiden name is Yanan, I just turned 30 years old, I can be your mother at this age, you can call me Aunt Nan. ”
Xu Wanzhen was as good as a stream, and called sweetly: "Aunt Nan." ”
"Hey!" Mr. Ning answered, and then asked, "Hearing you say this, are you in your twenties?"
Xu Wanzhen nodded and said blankly: "I don't know why, I suddenly came." Habitually, she hid the matter of the white jade bracelet.
"But I am dying in modern times, with children and daughters, and my life is complete. Mr. Ning smiled bitterly: "Don't you know how helpless I was when I woke up and realized that I had become a baby again?"
Without waiting for Xu Wanzhen to answer, she said to herself: "I have lived my whole life in modern times, and I have the consciousness of an adult. But he was trapped in the body of a small baby, and he couldn't do anything but eat, drink, and Lazar. As I grew up, I had to be careful not to show something different from other children. I obviously think those children's games are boring, but I have to show great interest. Those little girls thought they were smart and proud, but those little tricks only seemed ridiculous to me. ”
After saying so much in one breath, she sighed: "Don't think I'm verbose, I have nowhere to talk except you." These little girls, one by one, have been thinking about their marriages since they were sensible, and they are much more powerful than our junior high school students. I still have to act with them, do you think I'm tired?"
Mr. Ning is older than himself, both in modern times and here. Xu Wanzhen listened with a smile: "Aunt Nan, even if you say it, I also have a lot of things I want to tell you." ”
The worries before coming were all dissipated in the small talk between the two. Sharing the same secret, there is no one closer to them who understands each other better.
"Let me tell you something, when I was fifteen years old and Xu, I followed my mother to the Great Compassion Temple to offer incense. On the way, I met a monk in a tattered robe, and when he saw me, he rushed at me, shook his head and said, 'Old woman!' and my mother, thinking that she had met a madman, hurriedly dragged me away, and only I knew that what he said was true. ”
"And this kind of thing?" Xu Wanzhen was surprised. According to Sang Zi, the white jade bracelet was given by a master, is there really a person in this dynasty who can see through the heavens?
Mr. Ning nodded and said, "This matter has been in my heart for a long time, but fortunately, you can talk about it now." Otherwise, I'll just rot in my stomach and take it into the coffin. ”
She showed a look of reminiscence on her face and said, "Later, I found an opportunity to leave my mother and go to find the monk, but I didn't expect him to be waiting for me not far away. He pointed to me and said, 'The appearance of a young girl, the heart of an old woman, there is a doom in her life, let yourself keep it in peace, and do not create obstacles.' ’”
I was horrified by what he meant. By the time I could react, he was nowhere to be seen, and I hadn't seen him since. Mr. Ning said abruptly: "But his words have come true." Marrying him is the happiest thing for me, but I didn't expect this happiness to come and go so quickly. ”
Xu Wanzhen was silent, she was not good at comforting people, and no matter how many words she said in front of the facts, she was just empty and weak words.
"It's good to have a distant son as a companion. Thinking of the monk's warning to me, I kept to myself and lowered the schedule. Now that I see that Yuan'er is about to become an adult, I am also willing to suffer. After the end of the class at Tu's house this time, I plan to retire. It is also a pleasure to show Yuan'er a family affair and tease his grandson at home. ”
Hearing her plan, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but say, "But, Aunt Nan, you are only thirty years old?"
