XXXII. Trivia
After reading the last ledger, Yu Rui raised his head and rubbed his neck, and stood up. Ning Xi put down the book in his hand and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Alright, finally it's already." Yu Rui smiled slightly, "Keeping you waiting for a long time, right?" ”
"It's okay, just take care of sending me back." Ning Xi said with a smile.
Holding hands and walking out of the door, Ah Hao and Ah De followed from a distance, and the two of them set foot on the way home. It's a surprise that it's so late, it's so cold, and the streets are still full of people. People stopped in place and looked up at the night sky. Sometimes a light flashes, and there is a cry of excitement from the crowd: "See! ”
"I saw it too!"
"Meteor!"
"Shooting stars?" Listening to everyone's shouts, Ning Xi couldn't help but look at the sky. However, the sky was hazy, and there were hardly any stars to be seen, except for large clouds covering the entire sky.
"It's a meteor shower," exclaimed a little girl next to her, "I can make a wish!" ”
Ning Xi looked at the sky, still no stars, but tonight the sky was a little brighter than usual. Yu Rui tugged at her arm, and she looked away and continued to walk forward.
"Wow, another one!"
"I saw it too, another shooting star!"
The shout came again, and Ning Xi looked at Lu Shang again. This time, I was disappointed again, and I missed it.
Yu Rui also stopped and looked at the sky. After a while, another bright and smooth broke through the night sky and fell to the world. With another shout, Ning Xi closed her eyes and silently made a wish, she wanted to be happy, and Yu Rui would be happy forever.
Then, another. Yu Rui seemed to be stunned, and never looked away. Ning Xi glanced at Yu Rui beside him, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, watching the meteor shower with the person he liked was not a kind of happiness. Thinking like this, she held his hand tighter.
Feeling the strength in his hand, Yu Rui looked at Ning Xi and smiled slightly.
The meteors seemed to sense the anticipation of it and began to fall one after the other. Ning Xi raised her head, looked at the flickering light, and prayed silently in her heart: she would be with Yu Rui forever, holding hands like now, and never giving up.
Soon it was Yu Rui's birthday, and on this day, after Yu Rui left, Ning Xi instructed Nian'er to open the cabinet and fiddle with his dowry.
Before this, Ning Xi had also thought about what to send. But since she got married, Rui Xingge's things have changed, and now she doesn't lack anything, and she doesn't know what to send. After thinking about it, she decided to choose something from the dowry that was meaningful to her, although it might not be suitable, but after all, it was much better than buying it from outside.
Ning Xi's eyes were fixed on a brush. I still remember that her words were ugly before, and Ama Eniang locked her in the house and practiced for a long time. During those days, she got up early every day to practice calligraphy, and in the evening she would show Amma the one with the best handwriting. In order to practice her handwriting well, her fingers were also calloused, and the brush was broken several times, which finally made Amma feel satisfied. This pen was specially brought to her by Ama on a trip to Jiangsu, which can be regarded as a reward for her to practice good calligraphy. For this reason, she has not been willing to use it.
Yu Rui has to read so many ledgers every day, he should be able to use it, right? Thinking like this, her heart warmed, and she gently held the brush with both hands, and stared for a long time - you have found your master.
In the evening, she came to the study. Yu Rui was sitting at the table, as if thinking about something. She crept over and handed it to Rui, then quickly lowered her head. Yu Rui took it and just smiled, "You don't need to prepare this." "Then put the things on the desk.
"If nothing happens, I'll go out first." Ning Xi said, quickly exiting the door, as if he had done something dishonorable. Closing the door, she touched her face, which was a little hot. It looks like I'm going to wash my face with cold water before going to bed tonight.
At noon on another day, Ning Xi made a lunch box and went to Zhuangzi to give Rui a meal. Looking at the door from afar, Hao took something from a stranger and hurried in. Ning Xi gave Lin Yuan a look, Lin Yuan understood, and walked in front of Ah Hao and stopped him.
"Gege, this is it." Lin Yuan took a letter he snatched and handed it to Ning Xidao.
Ning Xi took it, only to see that the envelope was written: "Young Master Yu Rui personally opened." ”
"It's a woman's handwriting." Ning Xi muttered to himself.
"Gege, do you want to take it apart and take a look?" Nian'er asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll show it to him and see what he plans." Ning Xi said.
In the account room, Yu Rui took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, then handed it to Ning Xi and said, "It's a friend from before, I met you before you got married." Since getting married, I haven't been in touch again. ”
Ning Xi took the letter and looked at it a few times, but his heart was a little sour. It's some ordinary words, but it's too ordinary, so it's a little ambiguous. Even mentioning daily trivial matters, what kind of relationship should it be? She was a little annoyed, threw the letter paper in front of Yu Rui's eyes, and said, "Are you going to reply to the letter?" ”
"This ......," Yu Rui hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't be angry, it's just an ordinary friend, it's not good not to reply." ”
"Then I'll take it back for you." Ning Xi said, flattening a piece of paper, taking a pen and dipping it in ink.
The reply letter was sent in the afternoon of the same day, and Yu Rui read the letter and was a little angry. He handed the letter to Ning Xi. Ning Xi took it, and there was only one sentence on it: "Since your wife scolds me, I have nothing to say, take care." ”
"Where did I scold her?" Ning Xi asked puzzled.
Yu Rui stared at her suspiciously and asked, "Really not?" ”
"Scolding her for losing my face, where would I do such a stupid thing." Ning Xi said angrily, repeatedly recalling the content of the letter - she only seemed to have talked about her position as Yu Rui's wife and her own opinion of Yu Rui, was that sentence misunderstood?
Yu Rui restrained his skeptical gaze: "It's just an ordinary friend, and we don't see each other often." Don't see you later, lest you misunderstand. ”
"She probably doesn't like me very much," Ning Xi said as she thought about it, "or she wouldn't have said something like that." As for why you don't like me," Ning Xi deliberately paused, then observed Yu Rui's expression, "Do you know what to do?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Yu Rui replied very crisply, as if he didn't hear the meaning of her words.
Ning Xi was a little disappointed, but thinking of Yu Rui's personality, he asked directly: "Where is she from and what is her name?" ”
"Xiao Yinyin," Yu Rui said, "I live in the suburbs near the capital, and when I come to the capital occasionally, I will meet me." ”
"Xiao Yinyin," Ning Xi read the name, "Okay, I don't have to ask about today's things, but don't meet in the future, I don't like her." Ning Xi said very simply, even if he gave Rui Na a concubine, he couldn't find what he hated, and he was upset when he looked at it.
"Zhilu said, Xi'er." Yu Rui saw that Ning Xi no longer cared, and he didn't say anything anymore.
