Eighty-six, the expectation of the merman
Night.
Ning Xi stood by the window, silently waiting for the snow to fall.
The sky gradually darkened, and the moon was bright and starry in the distant night sky. Does it snow on a night when there are stars and a moon?
She didn't know if it would snow, but she had seen it rain on a starry night before. When I was a child, in addition to Nian'er, there was another personal girl Si'er. Si'er also came from a poor family, and it is said that she also has a seriously ill grandmother. Si'er is meticulous and careful, and handles the details of everything in an orderly manner, so she thinks that Si'er is more intimate with Nian'er.
However, one day, she found that the money in her cash drawer was missing. And Ama Eniang and Hui'er also lost things one after another. Amma decided to investigate the matter thoroughly, so he searched the whole house.
That day, everyone stood in the courtyard and let the grandmothers turn over their rooms. After the last, a pawn ticket for a plum hairpin was found in Si'er's room. went to the pawnshop to check, and sure enough, it was Eniang's lost hairpin. And Ama also went to Si'er's house to inquire, and found that Si'er's grandmother had recently bought a lot of valuable medicinal herbs.
Now that the truth was revealed, Si'er also confessed to the fact that she had stolen something. Ning Xi didn't believe that Si'er could steal anything, and cried and begged Amma to re-investigate the matter. However, Si'er knelt in front of her and said that she was ashamed of her trust in Gege.
Under Ningxi's bitter pleading, Fujin did not think about it. Si'er doesn't have to pay back, but she can't continue to stay in the palace.
Si'er left alone at night. That night, the sky was full of stars, but it was raining heavily. Ning Xi and Nian'er held an umbrella and sent her to the door, but they were stopped by someone sent by Amma. Ning Xi watched Si'er gradually walk away, and disappeared into the rain curtain after the last day.
On the way back, neither she nor Nian'er spoke. She suddenly felt that the sky full of stars and the rain that had been falling were very much like the tears of the stars.
Since then, Si'er has completely lost news, and even her home has moved away. She asked someone a few times, but she always found nothing.
It will rain on a night with stars, and those are the tears of the stars; That night, Si'er was kicked out of the palace and began a life of wandering. Then, it will snow on a moonlit night, which is the expectation of the sharks in the distance. Although the snow has not yet fallen, on this night with snow and moon, will she, the woman who is about to drift, usher in the end of the story?
Write down what you think, put it in the Kong Ming lantern, and watch it fly higher and farther away. In the distance, will anyone hear her heart?
I don't know how long later, Nian'er quietly walked in, only to see Ning Xi lying on the windowsill, already asleep.
Silently helped Gege to the bed, covered the quilt, and Nian'er sighed. A love word, how many women have broken their hearts and intestines, should she love Brother Chang less?
It was another early morning, and when Ning Xi walked out of the door, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was white outside.
When it finally snowed, her mood grew. After eating, Nian'er still teased her to go shopping on the street. She smiled: "Go and ask Hui'er to come over, I haven't been on the street with her for a long time." ”
Nian'er went out of the city for a while, and then came back and told her that Hui Gege was afraid of the cold weather and refused to go out. Ning Xi didn't care, and she didn't notice that Nian'er wanted to speak and stopped.
The weather was much colder than yesterday, but it didn't affect the mood of the tide in the slightest. I bought a scarf along the road, passed by the theater, and saw that I heard that I was going to play the Legend of the White Snake, so I couldn't help but walk in.
After sitting down, the drama has not yet taken the stage. Ning Xi remembered the awkward incident with Yu Rui because of listening to the play, and couldn't help but ask Nian'er: "How much money does it cost to listen to a play?" ”
"Hui Gege, we are four people, and it took a total of sixty wen." Nian'er answered truthfully.
"Sixty Wen? So a person only needs fifteen wen? Ning Xi was surprised, "So cheap? ”
"Yes, this is a medium-sized theater, and if it's a high-class theater, it's more expensive." Nian'er said.
"My subordinates heard," Lin Yuan said, "The most expensive theater in the capital, it costs a penny to watch a show." ”
Ning Xi's hand clenched tightly into a fist, Yu Rui, can't you even afford fifteen yuan? It seems that it was right to leave. I misread you!
Ning Xi was angry, and he didn't hear the voice on the stage at all.
"Here we go!" Nian'er didn't pay attention to Ning Xi's strange appearance, and said excitedly, "I heard that this Legend of the White Snake has changed the script and found a newcomer to sing it, which is completely different from the previous versions!" ”
"Really?" Ning Xi came back to his senses and looked up at the performance on stage.
After a song, it gradually enters the plot. Bai Suzhen met Xu Xian, and the husband and wife were in love. But Fahai's thousands of obstructions separated the two. At the end of the story, as I saw in the book before, it was Xu Xian who personally buckled Fahai's bowl to Bai Suzhen and beat her back to her original shape.
If you love the wrong person, you are the same, right? A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Ning Xi's mouth. This Xu Xian is even more hateful than Yu Rui, it turns out that there are far more bad men in the world than Yu Rui, and he hasn't met a worse one, is it a kind of luck?
When I returned to the palace, I saw Eniang come out early, with a hint of joy on her face. Since the fall of the palace and his own reconciliation, Ning Xi rarely saw E-Niang smiling, so he asked, "E-Niang, is there any happy event?" ”
"It's a happy event, a great happy event!" Fu Jin said with a smile, "The emperor has granted amnesty to the children of the Eight Banners, and those who have committed crimes can return to their original positions as long as they sincerely repent." Now, you've got a chance! ”
"Really?" Ning Xi was pleasantly surprised, "Then what should I do to be considered sincere repentance?" ”
"The Queen Mother has just sent an edict that each family will send a representative to take the written test at Shenwumen on the eighth day of the lunar month to test some knowledge of Buddhism. You Ama is old, Jaewon is too young, this time you go. In a moment, go to your Amma's study and get some books, and get ready! ”
"How could I?" Ning Xi questioned, "I'm a girl, how can I take on this heavy responsibility?" ”
The Queen Mother's edict said that as long as young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, regardless of men and women, whether they are married or not, they can participate. You are the eldest daughter, and you are more than capable of it. Fu Jin patted her on the shoulder and said.
"That daughter must live up to her mission!" Ning Xi said with a smile.
Bringing the book from Amma, Ning Xi felt that he finally had something to do. It's just that those words are too awkward, and it's even more difficult to read, let alone memorize. In this way, Ning Xi carried books with him and went to the granary every day to inspect it, and his life was quite comfortable without him.
In the blink of an eye, a few days have been separated, and the days seem to be longer than imagined. Strange to say, she hadn't seen him since she had seen him once the day after she left.
