In the evening, the sunset dyed the weather red, and also immersed half of Jiangning City in the warm red glow, when she came back from outside, Su Tan'er met Xiaochan, and then also knew that Ning Yi was infected with the cold, while asking Xiaochan about the doctor's statement, she led the three maids towards the courtyard of her grandfather Su Yu Su.

I have something to ask my grandfather about today, and since I know that Ning Yi is fine, I naturally don't need to rush over to see it. After entering the courtyard, I found that the third uncle Su Yunfang and the third sister-in-law were also there, along with the second daughter of the third uncle, at present, everyone calls this little girl the seventh girl, and now she is telling a story in front of her grandfather. A few maids waited around the crowd.

“…… Then, ah, what about that Zhou Yu, he beat Huang Gai......"

Su Tan'er walked over and moved a stool to sit down, and listened to the girl's story with her grandfather, third uncle and third sister-in-law, talking about the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, which was quite interesting. Soon after, when the story was finished, the girl stood up: "Second sister." ”

"Xiao Qizhi told a story, awesome, did you go to the restaurant with your father to listen to the story?"

"No, I told us when I was in school."

"Huh?" Su Tan'er hesitated for a moment, "Which sir." ”

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi knows a lot of things."

Although the name of the son-in-law is not good to say, and the status of the sender is low, but in the women's family, the son-in-law is basically called a brother, so these seven girls only call Ning Yi a brother, not a brother-in-law. After hearing her say this, Su Tan'er smiled slightly, but she was thinking about the meaning of this matter in her heart, and the third uncle next to her, Su Yunfang, said, "Recently, you have been teaching the Analects, right?" ”

The seventh girl nodded: "Well, "Analects", we have learned Liren...... but there is a little nervousness between her expressions, and she usually asks about her studies, and then maybe she will have to endorse it.

But this time my father didn't say that he wanted to endorse it, Su Yun said to Su Tan'er: "In the Analects class, it was said that the Three Kingdoms, although children like to listen to stories, but Mr. should be respected by students with his knowledge, and it is the right way to quote from the side, but it also needs to be moderate, Tan'er, you should remind Liheng." ”

This is a very severe reprimand, Su Tan'er had to nod yes for a while, but the old lady next to him smiled: "Don't say it so seriously, you can be loved by students in a few days, and you can also teach them to love their studies, these children are handed over to him, it is his business." The third child, you don't know the cause and effect, how do you know that the Analects have nothing to do with the Three Kingdoms, and how do you know that Liheng has no deep meaning in it, and he is not in his position and does not seek his government, this truth has long been taught to your brothers, don't point fingers in this matter again. ”

In fact, in this matter, Su Tan'er felt that the Analects class was a little unreliable to say that the Three Kingdoms was a little unreliable, but Mrs. Su liked it, he didn't care about Ning Yi's knowledge, in fact, he had probably known that the other party was not highly knowledgeable before, and he looked at this matter from other aspects.

The current situation of the Su family is complicated, Su Boyong, the third boss of the Su family, Su Boyong, the second Su Zhongkan, and the third Su Yunfang, each have a business all the way, but regardless of the wrist qualifications, Su Boyong still has the upper hand. Now the old lady Su Yue is still here, and it seems that it is still a situation of brothers, friends and brothers, but looking down, the third generation is full of straw bales, only Su Boyong's only daughter Su Tan'er is the only one, Su Yue thinks about it for a few years, and plans to put the family business on Su Tan'er, of course, this is also a big trouble.

Si Chen, the resistance encountered is several times greater than that of an ordinary handover, if there is a man in the Su family at this time who can barely be made, it is nothing, and Su Tan'er acts tepidly, but all kinds of means are quite outstanding, with the style of a general, she has this ability, and she also has ambition in this regard. Now the old lady has allocated some of the property managed by Su Boyong to her for formal management, which is regarded as a formal test, which is not to see her ability, but to directly let her use her father's resources to subdue and integrate the other two branches, to see how far she can do.

The pressure faced by Su Tan'er was temporarily set aside, and the original meaning of Ning Yi's entry was to allow Su Tan'er to continue to stay in the Su family. The old lady attaches great importance to the relationship with the ancestors of the Ning family, so he also takes care of Ning Yi, the current contradiction of the Su family does not seem to have intensified, Su Tan'er wants to overpower others and integrate others, if you don't let it here, you won't get it, the old lady is not dead, no one wants to force it.

But if the contradiction really intensifies in the future, and the old lady herself is either gone, and these people want to deal with Su Tan'er, then as her husband, Ning Yi, who is looked down upon, is naturally the best breakthrough, planting something dirty, finding some excuses to make trouble or something, isn't it simple. Old lady Su saw this, so she asked Ning Yi to go to teach, Yushan Academy is mostly the children of the Su family, if Ning Yi teaches well and gets the respect of these juniors, his status will be transcendent in this struggle, at least there is a layer of aura of the teacher, and others have to think about it if they want to move him. ,

Because of this, Ning Yi can make the children like it, this is the best, Mrs. Su asked Ning Yi about his teaching at the moment, the little girl said happily, and asked Su Tan'er: "Second sister, do you know what Mr. Lu Dao will say tomorrow?" ”

Su Tan'er smiled: "I'm afraid there will be no tomorrow, he has contracted the cold, and he will start recuperating at home today, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go to class tomorrow." ”

"Oh?" The old lady asked about the situation suspiciously, and Su Tan'er repeated it according to what Xiaochan said, and the little girl said, "Then can I go to see Brother Yi?" Su Tan'er shook her head: "The wind and cold are afraid of infection, Xiao Qi is better to wait for your brother Yi to get better before visiting." ”

When the third uncle and sister-in-law and the little girl left, Su Tan'er chatted with her grandfather for a while before going back to her yard, when she went to see Ning Yi, Ning Yi was drinking medicine on the bed, her expression was unhappy, Su Tan'er greeted a few words, and originally wanted to tell the story, but when she saw that he was sick, she didn't say anything.

Su Tan'er has the ability, and she also wants to do something as a daughter, but on the other hand, she is also a very traditional and orthodox girl, from the fact that although she doesn't like marriage but chooses to accept her fate, she can see that she has a personality and tries to get along with Ning Yi, but the framework is still the same framework.

She hopes that Mr. Ning Yi can be dignified instead of pleasing students with some small tricks, rather than a little clever or small means, she prefers Ning Yi to be an orthodox even pedantic scholar, even if he does not have real advanced knowledge, she also hopes that he can be more in line with the "righteous path". Of course, for now, this is still a process of getting to know each other, and she won't jump to conclusions, but she will slowly try to sketch a shape of her husband in her heart.

In fact, this shape is also clear when you think about it, he is an ordinary scholar, his knowledge is not high, his knowledge is not wide, his heart is okay, and his temper is so-so. This is the beloved person she wants to live with.

At this time, you can play some willfulness, but time is limited after all, and one day the two will still live together after all, and they will have children with him. As long as he's not a big traitor, these things will always happen. Future...... That's pretty much it, there's nothing to change. There may be some small expectations in my heart, but what exactly this expectation will be, in fact, even she herself is not clear, after continuing to contact, she may understand this husband in more detail, but if there are any major discrepancies, surprises and the like, it probably won't.

At the end of the autumn of the seventh year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, in the courtyard of the Su family house in Jiangning City, the beautiful woman who walked out of the eaves looked up and looked up, gently stroked the hair around her ears, and the eyes on her pretty face were still clear, with a little helplessness, but more was still calm and indifferent, when the wind blew from the courtyard, the light cyan Qingli dress swayed gently in the wind. Miss Tan'er, who has only become a wife in name only, views her marriage in this way at this time......

But for now, this is not something that really takes up a lot of weight in her life, she has other things to think about, to do, ordinary life, even if it is occasionally taken care of, it will walk on its own path plainly. If everything goes according to the natural trajectory, maybe a few decades later, when she walks out of the eaves and looks up again, she will suddenly remember the wind she saw one day many years ago, and take her somewhere like years, but now, everything is still abundant, and there is no need to care about many things.

It is in this kind of abundant situation that people can't feel it, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

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

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. There is no special medicine in these years, this body was originally weak, and he didn't exercise for long and caught a cold, so on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ning Yi still stayed in the room, and could only take an ancient vernacular novel to pass the time.

According to Ning Yi's previous experience, in the current situation, it is still okay to go out and walk around the yard, but this is ancient times. The medical conditions are not good, the physical condition of a group of people is poor, as long as someone takes care of them, they still attach great importance to the prevention and treatment of the disease, it is the end of autumn and the day is starting to get cold again, Xiaochan does not allow him, a restless patient, to go out at the door, Ning Yi also understands the little girl's hard work.

Anyway, he is not a very active person, but he will open the window every once in a while to change the air, even then Xiaochan is unhappy with a small face, Ning Yi is bored, so he wasted time to explain to her the benefits of fresh air to the human body and so on. ,

In the evening, Ning Yi added a piece of clothing, and went to the banquet with Su Tan'er and the others who came back, no matter what, since it was just a cold wind, the Mid-Autumn Festival This large-scale family banquet still had to be attended. There are hundreds of people in the Su family from the master to the steward, the little maid, the maid, and the nurse, and the scale is huge.

Ning Yi naturally had a time when he had a large-scale banquet, for example, the company's tail teeth were huge every year, but I have to say that the more modern it is, the heavier the sense of alienation between people. Now in the atmosphere of ancient times, even if there are not many people in this family who are really enthusiastic about his son-in-law, he can still feel a sense of cordial liveliness when he sits here, he is busy setting off firecrackers outside, children are running around, and the crowd is shouting, greeting, and chatting, and he also greets people with Su Tan'er - he actually likes this feeling.

The sunset has not yet set, the banquet has begun to be served, in this lively atmosphere, torches and lanterns are lit, the sky is gradually entering the night, all kinds of sounds are sounding, guessing boxing, drunkenness, and the masters of Mrs. Su's side came to say good things, a few children also came over to read a few poems made by themselves, Chan'er Juan'er and Xing'er The three girls were also happy, they were arranged on the maid's banquet not far away, running around with a smile, chattering and talking to Su Tan'er, reporting something, and occasionally talking to Ning Yi, saying" Aunts and aunts, what about the stories you are telling ......", Ning Yi just casually told a few stories in class, but they have already spread among the juniors, and there seems to be a tendency to pass them on to the maids.

Tsk, that's how the era of lack of entertainment is......

The dinner started early, in fact, it gradually came to an end soon after nightfall, but of course, the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone enjoyed the moon together or kept the program, the old lady would talk to Su Boyong and everyone, and then the old lady went back to his yard, and a group of Su family members followed, chatting and chatting or something, basically they had to talk to Mrs. Su, and some young juniors must have this process even if they want to leave. The three brothers, led by Su Boyong, are responsible for the subordinates who are mainly in charge, and the red envelopes have actually been distributed, and they mainly try to take turns to say some intimate words.

The old lady is over seventy years old this year, but she is healthy and in good spirits, Ning Yi and Su Tan'er greeted him during the meal, and then passed, the old lady said something like "You will support each other in the future", and then urged Ning Yi, who had a cold, to go back to rest quickly, although Ning Yi looked like usual at this time, but his throat was a little sandy.

If it is in modern times, the twenty-year-old body can carry the cold with or without medicine, and there is no pressure, but now he is told by a seventy-year-old man to take care of his body, Ning Yi is helpless. But since this is the case, there is nothing to be done, the intensity of the exercise in the first few months is not large, just out of the habit of fitness, so it does not play a thorough role in the physique of this scholar, and the next step should be to put systematic strengthening exercise on the agenda.

All the way back to the small building, Su Tan'er followed Ning Yi into his room, and after a moment of silence, he told Ning Yi to have a good rest tonight, and then hinted with a little embarrassment that he still had to go out at night, because he told him a few days ago that he was going to participate in the Puyuan Poetry Club.

Regardless of whether Ning Yi is sick or not, Su Tan'er will definitely go to the Puyuan Poetry Club, because for her, the main purpose is to set up relationships with certain people and talk about business. In terms of this certainty, even if Ning Yi is unhappy, or even makes a big noise, I am afraid it makes no difference. It's just that as a wife, it seems a little strange to explain this kind of thing when your husband has a cold.

However, Ning Yi understands this, he just finds this kind of thing interesting in his heart, on the one hand, his little wife will definitely not give up the Su family's business, and on the other hand, he hopes to take care of this marriage as much as possible, even if it is still a marriage in name only, and she still occupies a dominant position. O woman of old, this is really an effort that makes him feel lovely.

After appreciating Su Tan'er's expression as she tried to consider not wanting to give him extra thoughts, Ning Yi smiled and asked her to go early and return early. When Su Tan'er was about to leave and told Chan'er to take good care of him, he remembered: "Oh, no need, let Xiaochan go play together, I have nothing to do, at most I can read a book and sleep." ”,

There are many performances on the six-boat boat of the Puyuan Poetry Club, and you can also enjoy the night view of the lantern market of the entire Qinhuai River along the way, which is a feast-level enjoyment for anyone at this time. A few days ago, Xiaochan happily said in front of him how fun and fun this poem would be, because in the past, Su Tan'er would take the three of them together. Ning Yi felt very good about Chan'er, and didn't want to disturb the little girl's interest because of herself, but Su Tan'er hadn't spoken yet, Chan'er had already smiled and shook her head: "I'm not going, I'm going to read with my uncle at home." ”

Purely in terms of feelings, Su Tan'er regards the three maids as sisters, which is definitely much deeper than the current Ning Yi, but in any case, the maids are subordinates after all, and now that Xiaochan is sensible, she doesn't need to say more. Ning Yi took a few words to make sure that he couldn't convince Xiaochan before giving up.

The two of them watched the three of them go away from the corridor on the second floor, and from here they looked out, the Su family's mansion spread out far in the field of vision, extending to the distant streets, and the entire Jiangning City was lined up with brilliant lights.

"Uncle, let's go in." Xiaochan smiled, "Can you also tell Xiaochan a story?" ”

"The stool is moved out and I'm going to talk here......"

"Then I won't listen." Xiaochan pursed her lips, and then picked it in embarrassment, "It's windy here, let's go in......"

"It's okay, it's not windy, and I've worn so many ...... Otherwise, it would be nice to add another hat...... It's also interesting to see from here, so it's decided, move the stool out, and tell you a ...... Journey...... Otherwise, the story of the West Chamber will also do. ”

Since he said this, Chan'er had no choice but to give up her position, and the two moved a stool and sat down on this small platform. At this time, the courtyard of the Su family was no longer as lively as before, and occasionally people who were about to go out could be seen, and the sound of various firecrackers, gongs, drums, and shouts came from afar. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival night is a festival to spend with the family, in fact, there are still a lot of various entertainments, for example, Su Tan'er generally has to go to the meeting, lantern festivals, drinking parties, poetry meetings, all kinds, ordinary people may not have to stay at home, go out of the market to watch the dragon and lion dance and guess the lantern riddles to be lively.

And at this time in all parts of the city, one by one the most important programs are also close to starting, some poetry clubs have hung out the first poem, and then there will be some fixed Qinglou to sing these poems, as for the largest poetry clubs, people are still coming one after another, when Su Tan'er went out, the gate of the Pan Mansion where the water stop poetry meeting was held was also a gathering of various celebrities, Qin Lao, who played chess with Ning Yi and others by the river on weekdays, also put on relatively formal clothes today, and got out of the carriage accompanied by the concubine Yunniang, Then someone led a large group of followers to rush over to greet him: "Duke Qin is coming, and the Pan Mansion is full of flowers......

This person is the current head of the Pan family, Pan Guangyan, and is also the eldest brother of Pan Mingchen, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Hanlin, and his talent is also extraordinary, and he is the best at painting, especially the crane picture, which is a must, and most people are respectful of the crane, but despite this, he still respects this Qin Lao. The two were of the same age, and Qin Lao hurriedly returned the salute with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if you are still so polite, I won't dare to come again next time......"

"Ha Luha, Qin Gong is still so funny...... By the way, Ming Gong has also arrived......" The two exchanged pleasantries and walked inside.

Soon after, the water poetry meeting began, originally docked in the Qinhuai River most lively street of the six painting boats connected into the big boat also slowly sailed to the shore, one by one poems from the various gatherings, spread throughout the city, the city lights and sheng songs, the elegant atmosphere has become more and more intense, the city's lively Mid-Autumn Festival night, began to officially enter the climax.
