Eighty-four, draw letters
In the early morning, the sky was just dawning. Ning Xi opened her sleepy eyes and saw the room she hadn't seen for a long time, her heart warmed, and she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was not married.
Wake up early, say hello to Ama Eniang, and have a meal with your family by the way. At the dinner table, everyone talked and laughed constantly, but Hui'er was the only one who ate alone and didn't say a word.
"Hui'er, what's wrong? Uncomfortable? Ning Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Smack!" Hui'er put down her chopsticks and said angrily, "I'm full, I'll leave first." β
Ning Xi felt a pang in her heart, afraid that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly looked at Eniang. Fu Jin said: "Leave her alone, she has been in a bad mood for the past few days, and she doesn't know what's going on." β
"Sister Hui has become stingy," Jae-won said, "I asked her what I didn't understand, and she wouldn't tell me." β
Ning Xi was silent, as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle in his heart. For some reason, she thought of embroidery.
After eating, Fu Jin called Ning Xi to the room, took an account book, and said, "Since I'm back, I'm idle anyway, and I'll leave the affairs of the house to you to take care of." This is the ledger of the grain, and you can go to the granary in a moment and look at it and sort out the old grain. β
Ning Xi nodded, cleaned up briefly, and went out.
The granary is separated from the palace by a long way, and the housekeeper used to complain that he had to travel so far to get grain. But it is precisely for this reason that when the house was raided, the granary was neglected, and they were fortunate not to run out of food.
There weren't too many people outside, presumably because of the cold. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Ning Xi unconsciously came to a familiar fork in the road. Ning Xi couldn't help but stop and look at one of the roadsβthis was the road that led to Yu Rui's Zhuangzi.
"Gege?" Nian'er knew what she meant, and couldn't help but call her.
"Let's go." Ning Xi said, following the butler to another way.
After a busy morning, he came out of the granary and passed the fork in the road again. In the distance, Ning Xi saw that familiar figure. It's him, Yu Rui.
Do you want to say something? Would you like to say hello? Ning Xi hesitated, but didn't have the courage. Last night's conversation was still fresh in her memory, and after thinking about it, she decided to stay put. Even if you want to say hello, he as a man comes first.
Bow your head to avoid your gaze touching Yu Rui. Nian'er understood, stood in front of her, and pretended to be talking to her.
"Gone, Gege." Seeing Yu Rui walking away, Nian'er reminded softly.
Ning Xi nodded and continued to walk forward. Since then, I haven't even had a chance to speak, right?
On the side of the road, Ning Xi rarely ate a wonton at a roadside stall, which was a celebration of his return home. All day, Yu Rui didn't have any news. Maybe he had guessed her thoughts last night, maybe he knew it when we talked, in short, it was over.
I still remember that on this day last year, she accompanied him to read the account book in the account room, and he kept holding her hand and refused to let go. I watched it late, and it was already dark when I came out. There was a meteor shower that night, just like last night.
Although she misses that time, she does not regret leaving. In the future, her life will be happier than then, and she can live a better life without him.
"Gege," Nian'er couldn't help but ask, "Are you thinking about what's going on over there?" Speaking of which, I don't know if the person who said that person had seen the letter left by Gege. Even if he saw it, he didn't know if he could understand it. β
Ning Xi smiled. Last night, after packing her luggage, she thought she would never see him again, so she took a pen and left him a letter. There was no reluctance, no nostalgia, no complaints, just some patterns. Nian'er leaned over and saw a bunch of inexplicable pictures, so she asked, "Gege, what is this?" β
"Breakup letter." Ning Xi put aside the painted letter, and wrote on an envelope: "The third young master of Xilin Jueluo personally opened it." β
"What does that mean?" Nian'er took the letter and looked confused.
"I'll tell you a story first!" Ning Xi said with a smile, "Once upon a time, there was an old couple, the old man worked outside all the year round, and the old lady was at home alone. The old man had been out of town for several years, and the old lady begged someone to write him a few letters, but he refused to go home. The old lady was illiterate, so she drew a letter, like this. Ning Xi took another piece of paper and continued as he drew quickly, "When I finished drawing, I begged someone to bring it over." When the old man saw it, he was startled and hurriedly told his co-workers that I had to go back this time. β
"Is there any moral to it?" Nian'er picked up the paper that Ning Xi had just drawn, and said, "Three turtles, a big tree, a turtle, a fish, and an apple, this is ......."
"This is 'cloth', I don't like it. You try to read it. "Tide Road.
"Three turtles, is it the 'return' of 'return'?" Nian'er had a flash of inspiration.
Ning Xi smiled and nodded.
"Return, tree...... It's 'speed', return quickly, if you don't return, insects, dates, old man," Nian'er muttered, and then laughed, "It's to find the old man again!" Ha Luha, the old lady is so smart! β
"That's what it means," Ning Xi smiled, "Then look at it, what does it mean that I drew this letter?" β
"Five, you just said that this is a roll, it's cloth, and what is this one that is dressed in a string?"
"It's medicine," Ning Xi said, "The medicine I grabbed from the pharmacy has to be wrapped like this, but I can't draw it well." β
"Oh, five, I, it's me. I don't, ear, you, that's what you mean. What is this smiling face next to it? Nian'er asked.
"Laugher, Leya. This first sentence is connected to the reading, I don't want you anymore. "Tide Road.
"Oh, got it, hehe. The second sentence, this is a ball on the slope, and then draw a circle, just two words? Nian'er meditated.
"There's an ink spot next to it, don't ignore it." Ning Xi pointed to the ink dot and reminded.
Nian'er thought for a while and shook her head helplessly.
"What happens when the ball is on a slope?" Ning Xi pointed to the picture on the paper and said, "It's 'roll'." This is a circle, and it is also a 'circle', which is homophonic with 'far', so this sentence is connected to 'roll away'. β
"This is good," Nian'er couldn't help but admire, "With dirty words, and not rude, it's really high!" β
"What about the last sentence?" Ning Xi said with a smile.
"Is this another turtle, or is it 'returning'? Return, what is this line? And this, I don't know what the road is...... "Nian'er was confused again.
"It's a debt, I drew a piece of paper and put a handprint, don't you see it? And this turtle, the turtle has other names. Here, the name of 'turtle' is taken and homonymous with 'don't'. And this line is thicker, it is a 'thick line', that is, 'appear'. The first three pictures are understood, and the rest, 'five' or 'me', this 'eye' is 'eye', and the last ingots are 'money'. Then the phrase is 'Don't appear in front of me'. Ning Xi explained.
