Chapter 33: The First Step (Part II)

"Xianggong is a weirdo."

"Huh?"

The snow was falling, and the two men named husband and wife stood on either side of the pillar, looking at the courtyard that stretched all around. Turning her head, Su Tan'er lowered her head slightly, and a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Actually...... It's not that it's weird, when I was a child, Tan'er also liked to stand on this floor and watch. Did Xiang Gong find out, the sight here is the best. She stretched out her hand and pointed out into the distance, "Now, where is the yard where my father and mother lived...... Second Aunt's ...... Grandpa's was slightly blocked...... The third uncle is over there...... That lantern should be Wen Ying's gang walking......"

In the Su Mansion at night, the areas were clearly divided under Su Tan'er's guidance, and there were also various figures walking around the courtyard with lanterns, Su Tan'er pointed them out one by one, and after a while, he thought about it a little.

"When I was a child, the concubine didn't live here, but I often liked to come here to play, sitting upstairs and looking at it, the nurse couldn't find me, so I knew that I was going to come here to find it. I saw the nurse coming over, so I often went inside to hide, hey, every time I hid in a place, the nurse was stupid, I once changed a place to hide, she couldn't find it, called outside for a long time......"

"Every time the nurse came to her, she said that it was windy, or that she was going to eat. Xianggong may not have imagined that the concubine was in good health when she was a child, blowing the wind, she would not get sick at all, and she liked to run around like a boy, chasing and fighting, but they stopped playing with the concubine later. As for eating, why do you want to eat, sometimes you don't seem to feel hungry, ask the nurse, and the nurse doesn't know what to say. Oh, when my mother gave birth to me, my father said that he wanted a boy to inherit the family business, but he was born a girl. In fact, the concubine body doesn't look like a lady ......."

She tilted her chin and laughed, but there was no shadow in that smile, even though she didn't have much knowledge at this time, but no matter how she looked, at least in terms of "looking like everyone's ladies", there was no problem.

"So later...... Well, later, when the concubine could choose a yard by herself, she moved here with Xiaochan, and the princess may not know the way and dare to move in At that time, the concubine lived in the room here, because the sight here was better. But...... Later, he moved over there, does the minister know what Lu Dao is for? ”

"You can't see anyone else, and no one else can see you, right?"

Ning Yi replied casually, and Su Tan'er was silent for a long time: "Before the Xianggong...... Do you have any ambitions? ”

"I'm ......" Ning Yi thought about it a long time ago, "I want to build a house." ”

"Huh?" This answer obviously surprised Su Tan'er a little, and only after a moment did she say, "Build a house?" Similar...... Mason? ”

"Ha Lu Ha." Ning Yi raised his head and laughed, "That's right, mason, mason or something...... Well, almost. ”

"I haven't thought about it...... Su Tan'er muttered, Ning Yi's fingers tapped lightly on the railing a few times, and then took out a washed pine flower egg and handed it over through the wooden post: "By the way, I'll give you a taste." ”

"Duck eggs."

It was snowing, and the light shining from below on this corridor was still quite sufficient, but it was not possible to distinguish some different markings on the eggshells of duck eggs, Su Tan'er didn't mind much, took the duck eggs, lightly knocked them on the railing a few times, reached out and slowly peeled the shells, peeled a few pieces and stopped.

"I ...... When the concubine was a child, she actually wanted to be a trickster...... Oh, of course I think so, the family invites the opera troupe to perform every year, when I was a child, I looked so magical, I always thought that if I learned it, I might become a fairy, and then I also learned some, just like what you taught Xiaochan that day, Xianggong you see ......"

She stretched out her left hand over there, her wrist shining in the snowflakes, as if to glow, her slender fingers pinched the few pieces of eggshells she had just peeled off, and then her fingers rubbed gently, and the fluorescent dust scattered from her fingertips like thin threads, magical and magnificent. This is probably the secret recipe that she learned from which plays, and after the performance, she laughed softly, a little happy.

"But of course, my father and my mother won't allow me to do anything. When I was too young, I couldn't feel some things, and when I got older, the concubine found that my father and mother were a little unhappy. My father wanted a boy, but even after marrying two aunts, he still couldn't give birth to a younger sibling. Sometimes, of course, Daddy does...... Of course you will feel ......",

Maybe because it was a little difficult to say this, Su Tan'er paused there for a long time before taking a deep breath: "Anyway...... From then on, the concubine felt strange...... Why can't any girl inherit the family business, they obviously don't do as well as me, even if they go to the school to learn poetry and arithmetic, the concubine also dresses up as a boy...... Of course, you will see through it, but no matter what, you can't go out, you can't go out to scold, you have to sit there and listen to the class, fortunately, it's a school opened by the family itself, and then grandpa also spoke...... So now that Xiaoqi's girls can go to the school to listen to classes, they are also concubines who are out like this......"

As she spoke, she slowly peeled the eggshell, smiled slightly, and then as if she had found something, she lifted the half-peeled pine egg, the amber egg white and the pattern in it reflected the light below.

Ning Yi turned around and leaned against the railing: "Songhua eggs, you can eat them." ”

"Huh?"

Su Tan'er thought about the duck egg that she had never seen with this image before, and then brought the pine flower egg to her mouth, took a bite, and then returned to the topic.

"The concubine knows that these words may not be heard by the princess, and men don't like to listen to women and Taoists say these things. The concubine never told others, but she felt ...... These must be told to Xianggong, even if Xianggong doesn't like it...... Tan'er also wants to say that Tan'er is not an arbitrary, domineering and domineering woman. After getting along with Xianggong for half a year, I think Xianggong's temperament may be able to listen to these weird thoughts, and Tan'er really wants to ...... I want to manage the Su family well, but it's just like this. Tan'er and Xianggong are husband and wife, and they have a white-headed covenant, and Tan'er doesn't want Xianggong to be like them and have too much mustard for concubines...... If...... If so......"

She tried to consider the words, and Ning Yi smiled: "What if I really run away to be a mason." ”

Su Tan'er thought for a while and said with a smile: "The concubine also wants to be a juggler." ”

"Heh, actually, ......" Ning Yi took out a folded piece of rice paper from his arms, waved it in the air a few times, opened it, and handed it to Su Tan'er, "Look at this." ”

The light was insufficient, and there were some strange drawings drawn on the rice paper with a brush, and then there were such and such patterns, vague, Su Tan'er looked at Ning Yi with a slight puzzlement, and then picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully in the faint light......

The appearance of all kinds of objects on this rice paper is a little strange, and in many places there are some lines and characters that are completely incomprehensible, but they are somewhat similar to Persian and Hu from the west, and after looking at it for a while, Su Tan'er admitted that she couldn't understand it, and raised her head: "Xianggong, this is ...... Gewu? She may not be able to read the drawings, but she can more or less guess what category this should belong to, the price of silk weaving at home is the starting price, and she has naturally seen many drawings such as looms, if you talk about it, it is difficult to distinguish who is more complicated.

In these years, Confucianism emphasizes humanities and ignores things, Su Tan'er couldn't have imagined that his father-in-law, who is indifferent on weekdays and has many incomprehensible behaviors, is actually studying these things seriously. In fact, the Su family also has talents who specialize in the improvement of looms, but they are basically used as maintenance workers, craftsmen and craftsmen, and their status in this society is indeed low, even if they exaggerate a little and add such a name as Gewu, others will not understand. Although many years later, the so-called Gewu Zhizhi was understood to be the focus on physics contained in Confucianism, but in this era, the real so-called Gewu is indeed not very related to these, they discuss the inner laws of things, as the direction of life philosophy to discuss, if it is to develop to physics, it is a strange skill, despised.

However, as a businessman and able to understand the value of craftsmen, Su Tan'er obviously has no prejudices about this matter. Ning Yi smiled: "Do it when you're bored, I don't know if there will be results in two or three years......

Su Tan'er said: "Actually, there are a few masters in the family, and they have some experience in these things, but ......" She does not discriminate against these, but after all, the status of craftsmen is low, if this husband goes to talk to each other about these things all day long, even if those old people are more respected in the Su family, Ning Yi will obviously be criticized, and at this time, he wants to stop talking, but fortunately, Ning Yi also shook his head.

"It's not urgent, but I like to think about it when I don't have anything to do."

"I don't know what these paintings are for?" ,

Ning Yi paused: "It's hard to say now." ”

He looked at the object in Su Tan'er's hand, and Su Tan'er then noticed it, so he reacted and looked at the only half of the preserved egg left: "Could it be ...... This is also a ......."

"Well, basically."

Su Tan'er was stunned for a long time, and then put the remaining small preserved egg into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it. Ning Yi looked at the courtyard in the distance, Su Tan'er propped her hands on the railing, lowered her head, and didn't know what she was thinking, after a long time, she saw her smile quietly, the smile seemed to be a little sudden, and it seemed that she felt that she had done something superfluous.

"Actually, Xianggong has long known what Dao Tan'er is going to say when he comes over, right?"

After a moment, Ning Yi nodded: "I can probably always guess some." ”

"Xianggong is not a nerd."

"Heh......"

"Xianggong tells stories in the school with deep meaning."

"That's really a casual one."

Su Tan'er ignored him, looked into the distance, and continued: "The water tune song head is not what the Taoist priest said. ”

“……”

"Xianggong is a talented person."

"Ahem, this one really doesn't ......"

Su Tan'er identified something in her heart, and she was already talking to herself at this time, and after a while, she turned her head to look over, this time probably asking: "However, when Xianggong was in the He Mansion that day, could it be that he really saw through the thoughts of the He family and guessed the affairs of the Xue family?" ”

Ning Yi looked at her for a few seconds: "If I say yes, do you believe it?" ”

"That Xianggong is born to know, and Tan'er's experience over the years is completely useless......"

Su Tan'er wrinkled her nose and smiled brightly. Obviously, she has found the answer, and at this point, she is actually very confident, and this confidence actually has its basis. In fact, for Ning Yi, he didn't really guess correctly, he just happened to collide with the thoughts of the He family because of some fragments of information. Su Tan'er could think like this, and Ning Yi naturally didn't need to explain anything.

"Xianggong is a weirdo." She summed it up this way.

"Lady, too."

"Hey." Su Tan'er laughed happily, "Tan'er is relieved." ”

The snow fell silently, stretching the entire Jiangning City, in this thousands of disturbed worlds, this sound of laughter is like a fragrant yellow window quietly pushed open in a corner, and this piece of heaven and earth is gently wrapped in it.

In the winter of the seventh year of Jinghan of the Wu Dynasty, the years are like a timeless picture, and in the heavy snow, Xinning is a piece.

*******************

The courtyard where Song Mao is located.

The lights in the room flickered, the light and shadow swayed slightly on the window lattice, and the young man had already come in to greet him. On the side of the house, a middle-aged man with a dignified and upright appearance sat at the table, writing while gossiping with each other, as for what he said, I am afraid that not a word has entered his heart.

Su Wenxing didn't dare to ask himself about his uncle, so he had to say something at this time, just hoping that his uncle would give an answer.

I don't know how long it was, and a bell rang in the distance outside. Song Mao put down the brush, raised his head, and pressed the rice paper.

"I'm not done with this post yet, so I'll write it again when I come back." He stood up with a smile, turned to look at his absent-minded nephew, and then walked over and was silent for a while: "Wenxing, do you think it is difficult to defeat your Tan'er sister and take charge of the Su family?" ”

Su Wenxing had Ning Yi's thing in his heart, but when he heard this question, he still thought about it seriously: "Don't dare to deceive your uncle, Tan'er sister is her...... is indeed outstanding, if she is really in charge of the big house, the nephew ...... No confidence at all......"

It's a little difficult to say this, but obviously confessing in front of your uncle is the most important, after Su Wenxing finished speaking, Song Mao shook his head and patted him on the shoulder: "You think too much, there is one thing you should never forget, you Tan'er sister, she is just a woman." ”

"I ...... I understand, but what she did, it was really ......"

"Why do you always want to defeat her?" Song Mao smiled, "The Su family is always the old lady in charge now, even if the old lady is gone, there are also old lady's brothers, even if they are side branches, they also have the right to speak." You have to think about it, if Su Tan'er is really in charge of the Su family and really takes charge of herself, she will be under the greatest pressure from the outside world because of her status as a woman. The old lady gave her a chance, and now let her manage things, but after all, she is still under the wing of your uncle. Do you think that the pressure she will receive on the Su family is greater than the pressure she will receive in the outside world when she will be in charge of the Su family in the future? ”,

Su Wenxing was confused for a while: "Uncle is talking about ......"

"You don't need to surpass her, and you don't need to beat her in the mall. As long as she can't take over the Su family peacefully, swallow your second and third rooms, or directly overpower your second and third rooms. This is the breakthrough. At the end of the day, she's just a woman, and her abilities are dozens of times higher than yours to do what you can do, and you just need to stay the same. Wenxing, you have two bedrooms and three bedrooms, will you let her swallow them in peace? ”

Su Wenxing had already understood, and was a little excited at this time: "How, how is it possible, how can I sit still and wait to die!" "It's a battle that can be won by sitting down.

"Your father understands this, and your third uncle also understands it, but they won't tell you clearly, because I'm afraid that you children will lose their fighting spirit. Now that you know it, don't spread it. What needs to be done, you still have to do it with all your might, understand? Song Mao patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, accompany my uncle to catch up with your father and mother." ”

"Hmm." Su Wenxing nodded, and was about to follow, but then remembered, "But uncle, what about Ning Yi...... He is Tan'er's sister's husband, if he wants to make trouble for her, wouldn't this be the best opportunity? ”

"This matter ......" Song Mao walked to the side and picked up the already cold sobering tea and took a sip, thinking about the vocabulary in his mind, people who can talk and laugh with Qin Siyuan, Kang Xian and others, no matter whether he has talent or not, how can a little hairy person like you be easy to with? Years of experience in officialdom made him automatically filter out some things, and he never wanted to say anything serious, but looking back at the appearance of this nephew, he still sighed when he remembered that he had some true feelings after all these years.

"This thing...... It's okay how others do it, I want you to stay out of the matter, no matter whether Ning Yi has the talent to learn or not, you have to remember this matter. He paused, and said the last thing he wanted to say that night," ...... lest you bring shame upon yourself. ”
