XXXIX. Waiting
Walking on the way to Yu Rui's study, Nian'er recalled the words she overheard at the door.
"Who is it, Baba came to tell me, and I don't know if Lu Dao is really for the master, or for someone." Lan'er's grumbling echoed in her mind again.
At that moment, although she heard everything, she felt more amused. Anyway, I am frank in my heart, what are I afraid of? But at this moment, she began to think. Ah Hao is the person next to the young master, even if Gege and the young master quarrel, he should be on the young master's side, there is no reason to run to let her accompany Gege.
Thinking about it this way, Ah Hao really ...... to her She could have taken advantage of this and asked for the peace charm. It's just that I'm a little sorry for Lan'er.
Just thinking about it, a male voice came from the opposite side: "Miss Nian'er, if you want to think about things, you have to look at the road!" ”
As soon as Nian'er looked up, she saw Ah Hao standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.
For the first time, Nian'er felt that seeing him was like seeing a savior, and she was a little excited in her tone: "Ah Hao, why didn't you accompany your young master?" ”
"Don't mention it," Ah Hao said with a bitter face, "The young master kicked me out. He looked at Nian'er and smiled slyly, "Could it be that Miss Nian'er was also kicked out?" ”
"I'm not like you." Nian'er glared at him, and suddenly thought that she had something to ask him, so she changed her smile and said, "Ah Hao, I have something to ask you." ”
After successfully getting the peace charm, Nian'er returned to Ningxi's room. I saw that Ning Xi picked up another piece of cloth and was embroidering it seriously.
"Gege," Nian'er looked at the five handkerchiefs that had been arranged, and said suspiciously, "Aren't they all embroidered, who is this embroidered for?" ”
"Embroider one for Min Ji too," Ning Xi still fiddled with the needle and thread in her hand, "It's good that I knew someone before I got married." Did you bring something? ”
"The prince and Fujin have brought them," Nian'er said, "Will you send them now?" ”
"Let Chang Sheng take a trip," Ning Xi put down the needle and thread, raised his head and said, "Everything is wrapped, right?" I also sent the letter I wrote a few days ago. ”
"I'll let Lan'er send it to Brother Chang," Nian'er shouted out the door, "Lan'er! ”
Wait for Lan'er to take the things and exit the door. Ning Xi looked at Nian'er with some amusement: "What, don't you go to find your eldest brother Chang?" ”
"I'm going to accompany you here," Nian'er said with a smile, "Besides, I just met Ah Hao when I went to get the peace charm, so it's fair to let her see Brother Chang." ”
"What kind of fallacy are you?" Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh.
Nian'er was relieved and smiled. Is this amused by yourself? Laughing genuinely is really much better than forcing a smile.
Ning Xi picked up the needle and thread, embroidered a few stitches, took the fabric to the distance and looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's all right now." ”
"Gege is so skillful." Nian'er looked at the butterfly in the center of the handkerchief and praised.
Ning Xi's gaze then dimmed, she put down her handkerchief, and muttered: "Embroidered, embroidered, what else can I do?" ”
"Gege," Nian'er saw that it was not good, and hurriedly said, "The slave can chat with you!" ”
"Nian'er," Ning Xi suddenly remembered something, and said, "My dowry is still locked, right?" In the future, when you buy something, you will take the money from your dowry. ”
"Gege," Nian'er saw Ning Xi mention it, so she remembered the events of the day, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, during the day, I noticed some details......" As she said, she told everything about Yu Rui going to eat noodles and buying hairpins during the day.
"I guessed it." Hearing this, Ning Xi's expression remained unchanged, "When I first got married, Yu Rui always caught fresh fish from Zhuangzi's pond. Since one day, I told him not to catch it again, blame the trouble. He never brought it back since. Ning Xi said, continuing to reminisce, "And during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't even bring moon cakes, and mine was still sent by Xiuwen and Sister Jin'er." Later, I heard that he directly exchanged the portion of the mooncake for silver. ”
"At the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gege had just married in." Nian'er exclaimed, "He dared to ...... at that moment"
"At the time, I thought he was a good man who would live a good life, but I naturally didn't tell you when I learned about this by chance." Ning Xi sighed, "Now that I think about it, is he too good at living?" ”
"It's a good thing to be able to live," Nian'er said, "but it's too much to say that you're so lazy." ”
"Probably because of the different concepts," Ning Xi said, "Forget it, how can there be a husband and wife who don't quarrel, it's not a big deal." Is Zhi'er at the door? Ning Xi raised his voice and shouted out the door.
"Gege, the slave is here." Zhi'er walked in.
"Send these to Lord Gualja's house, saying that they are for the eldest lady. There's a name in it, and she'll take the rest with her. Ning Xi Bar wrapped the handkerchief and handed it to Zhi'er and said, "Just say that it is my little heart, which is a New Year's greeting." ”
"Yes, Gege!" Zhi'er said.
"Let Lin Yuan go with you," Ning Xi said, "It's getting dark, it's not safe for you to go out as a girl." ”
After dinner, Zhi'er returned. She handed over a piece of red paper and said, "Gege, Miss Guerjia invites Gege to come to the house for a small gathering on the tenth day of the new year." ”
"I have a heart, but I haven't seen them for a long time, and after all, she is the only one left who is not married. How do they know that I am stuffy in the capital? Ning Xi took the invitation and said with a wry smile.
"Gege, think of more good things." Nian'er tried to divert her attention, "Gege and the ladies may not have seen each other for a long time, it's rare to get together!" ”
"This year, I also understand." Ning Xi's expression was blank, "It's just like gathering and dispersing, what about getting together, it's better to separate the two places, at least there is still a trace of concern in each other's hearts." ”
"Gege, you're pessimistic again." Nian'er couldn't help but say.
"Gege, it's the New Year soon." Zhi'er, who didn't leave, said, "Think about this capital, there are some games or something during the family banquet every year. It's definitely not the same as when Gege was in the house. ”
"Then you can talk about the habits of the New Year." Ning Xi knew that in order to divert her attention, Zhi'er would not break it, so she simply accepted her love.
"It's lively," Zhi'er said, "especially the fireworks in the sky, it's strange to say, they all buy the same thing, and everyone has to come here to watch." So when it comes to the New Year, the guards in the house can be busy. ”
"You just said games, what's there?" Nian'er asked.
"It's like reciting poems, guessing riddles, idioms solitaire or something," Zhi'er said as she thought about it, "It's all things that people who have studied understand it." Before several young ladies got married, they also compared piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Of course, there are also those who don't need to study. One year, a jousting contest was held, and one guard from each courtyard was selected to participate! ”
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Ning Xi smiled indifferently. "It's a bit better in comparison!"
