Chapter 11: Confrontation in the Dark
The sun rises in the east, the morning light sprinkles between the jagged pavilions, the smoke and mist rise from the green tiles, the maids carry all kinds of utensils between the white walls, the guards push vegetables and fruits into the back door, and the birds parked on the cornices jump around, curiously looking at the new masters in the mansion.
In the master bedroom on the east side of the back house, the birdsong outside the window woke up Xu Buling, who had worked all night.
The room was a little messy, and the plain white dress was thrown out of the curtain and thrown on the ground, along with robes, belts, belly pockets, and dirty trousers......
Xu Buling's eyes slowly cleared, and his arms were soft, with a residual temperature and a faint fragrance. Looking at it, Ning Yu's eyes were closed and he was leaning on his shoulders, his hands were on his chest, and his legs were pressed against his body. He was still asleep, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, and his fair cheeks were still a little flushed.
The face is close at hand, Xu Buling has been looking at it for a long time, even if he has understood it so deeply, he still can't find an adjective to describe Ning Yuhe's appearance, flawless, it can be said that there are no bright spots, it can also be said that there are bright spots everywhere, which makes people feel good-looking but can't say where they look good.
Compared with Ning Qingye's cold independence, Ning Yuhe's cold sense of alienation before should actually be said to be self-protection. After all, Ning Qingye at least had Ning Yu's cooperation to rely on, and Ning Yuhe suffered a catastrophe when he was a teenager and was forced to become a Taoist priest, helpless, and almost didn't trust anyone in the world. Speaking of experience, Ning Yuhe may not be as good as Manzhi, who is wandering in the market, and teaches Ning Qingye to be a straight daughter of steel, and it is estimated that there is also this reason.
Now that I have a support, I don't seem to have that sense of alienation that is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, just like a docile little woman.
Xu Buling looked at it for a moment, his eyes went down his cheeks, and he saw the Daomen talisman hidden very deeply, maybe he got up early in the morning and had nothing to do, so he took it out and looked at it a few times, still with a little residual warmth.
But with such a move, Ning Yuhe naturally woke up, opened his eyes in a daze, and happened to meet Xu Buling's eyes.
“……”
“……”
Ning Yuhe's eyes gradually cleared, first lowered his head, and then looked left and right, before he reacted to the situation, he exclaimed, turned over suddenly, hurriedly looked for the skirt, and spoke incoherently:
"How is it dawning...... You scoundrel...... I...... Suffered, Manzhi must have found ......"
Xu Buling was a little funny, turned over and picked up the skirt from the ground, and handed it to her: "Man Zhi came to ask yesterday, I said that Master went out, Master slept soundly, maybe I didn't hear it." ”
Am I asleep? I'm ...... by you
Ning Yuhe's face was red and white, as if he had done something very wrong, his sense of betrayal was full of morality, and he didn't speak, and after checking that Shougong Sha was fine, he put on his dress in three or two times, and hurriedly ran out.
Xu Buling was a little helpless: "Master, the courtyard is full of people, you go out of my room early in the morning......"
Ning Yuhe paused, and hurriedly ran to the back window, and his figure rushed out neatly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye......
————
Just arrived in Huainan, after a day's rest, the girls in the house recovered their spirits and got up early.
Song Yufu stood in the corridor for morning exercises, Ning Qingye and the nightingale were playing in the garden, tinkling back and forth, and Man Zhi, who was too poor in martial arts, looked at him unconvinced.
Since knowing that Daddy is a contemporary sword saint, Man Zhi has actually worked very hard, his martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is easy to deal with ordinary Jianghu guests, but compared with the heroes of nightingales and Ning Qingye, he is still too far behind, and he can't find anyone to practice at all.
Standing in the garden and closing himself for a while, seeing Xu Buling walking out, Zhu Manzhi's big eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to run to say hello with a smile, but he didn't think that before he took two steps, he was preempted by Song Yufu, who was quick-eyed.
In the corridor of the garden, Song Yufu changed into the old skirt, wearing a flower tail hairpin on her head, looking like Si Swenwen, slowly walked to Xu Buling, and gave a blessing:
"Xu Shizi, early."
Xu Buling nodded lightly and looked up and down: "Is it the habit of living in the house?" ”
Song Yufu had just boarded the ship, and the only people she knew were Mrs. Lu and Xu Buling, who was a little restrained in front of Mrs. Lu, and she didn't get along with Xiao Ning, Man Zhi and other chivalrous women, in fact, she was the loneliest one.
However, Song Yufu has been in the deep mountain village for half a year, and she has long been used to the days when she depends on the maid, and said with a light smile:
"Habitual, huh...... I heard that the talents here in Jiangnan are very powerful, and there are also many poetry clubs and literary clubs in Huainan City, can the son accompany me to take a look? ”
Xu Buling's only purpose in coming to Huainan is to ask for marriage, and at present, the marriage letter has been handed to Xiao Qi, waiting for Xiao Qi's reply, there is really nothing to do during the day, and he naturally nodded for his girlfriend's invitation:
"Okay, I just want to go shopping in Jiangnan too."
Song Yufu pursed her lips and smiled, and wanted to leave with Xu Buling, but Man Zhi jumped out and said with a smile:
"Together, I also want to go to the city for a walk, I heard that Huainan's 'tofu feast' is famous......"
Song Yufu browled her eyebrows and looked at her boyfriend.
Xu Buling could say anything at this time, pretending to be very ordinary, turned around with a smile and said:
"Let's go. Miss Ning, do you want to go to the city? ”
Ning Qingye, who was discussing with the nightingale in the garden, stopped his movements at night, and he had always been straight, but he didn't have the consciousness of 'can't be a light bulb'. Seeing that Manzhi was about to go out for a walk, he had nothing to do in the house anyway, so he walked over directly.
The nightingale has always been smart, so naturally she won't bother her son-in-law to hook up with a woman, so she ran to the side with a lot of interest.
Originally, the two of them went out to visit the poetry meeting, but suddenly it became four, Song Yufu was a little disappointed in her eyes, thought about it, walked beside Xu Buling, and walked side by side, letting Man Zhi and Ning Qingye follow behind.
The daughter's family is always very sensitive to this kind of careful thinking, Manzhi looks stupid, but his reaction is not slow at all, and when he sees Song Yufu's silent movements, he understands the meaning. secretly 'hum~' in his heart, trotted to him, hugged Xu Buling's arm directly, and grinned:
"Xu Gongzi, where are we going to play?"
The two were close to each other, and their movements were very intimate.
Song Yufu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Miss Zhu was so bold, so close to the man in broad daylight, but there was someone next to her......
After all, Song Yufu was born in a scholarly family with a very strict family education, not as free and easy as the children of the rivers and lakes, and her face is relatively thin, so she didn't dare to pull Xu Buling's hand, so she could only purse her lips at the moment, and got a little closer.
Ning Qingye was dressed in white like snow, with a little doubt on her cold face, tilting her head slightly, looking at the two women of the same age who reacted very strangely, obviously not understanding what the two of them were doing. Seeing that Xu Buling was so happy with his left and right hugging, he felt that he couldn't let his good sisters suffer, so he stepped forward quickly, pulled the full branch and walked to the front.
"Huh? Xiao Ning...... What are you doing running so fast......"
Zhu Manzhi was forcibly dragged away, his eyes were full of confusion.
Song Yufu finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at Ning Qingye's back with a little gratitude in her eyes.
And Xu Buling, who walked on the tip of the knife, maintained a stiff smile from beginning to end......
