The relationship between Tan'er and Yunzhu has always been good, but the real intimacy was still in the days when Ning Yi left the capital and went to Luliang Mountain.

They are both relatively rational women, and as early as after Yunzhu saved Ning Xi, the two had a close heart. Before Ning Yi left Bianliang, he married Yunzhu and Jin'er, and during that time, Yunzhu enjoyed holding a small backgammon game in Zhuji, and Tan'er took care of the whole business that Zhuji left near the capital, so the two had more time to get along.

Even if it is said, at this time, the whole society has the idea of male superiority and female inferiority, and has the background of feudal society. One is a wife, the other is a concubine, around the same man, and there is not much common past, if you really want to say how sincere the feelings are between each other, it is naturally impossible, most of the closeness is still down to reason. However, there were also many opportunities to get to know each other.

When summer arrives and the weather in the capital heats up, the two often discuss many details about the game at home. This kind of situation often happens in the courtyard where Yunzhu lives, at noon in the scorching sun and heavy rain in the afternoon, sitting on the cool bed in the room, eating some cold drinks and fruits, and saying a few idle words.

At the beginning, he naturally gave advice on the things that Yunzhu was doing, and said a few interesting gossips and family routines. But after a long time, Yunzhu can also see the burden on Tan'er's back. Although Tan'er has always been able to control the things around her, and rarely says a tired word in front of people, there are all kinds of pressure. After all, it was like a spider's web on this twenty-two-year-old woman. It consumes her spirit and mental strength, and it also prompts her to keep moving forward.

In the next generation, twenty-two years old is just a clumsy age for a girl who has just graduated from school and just entered the workforce. Even at this point, there was an earlier definition of adulthood, but twenty-two was still an excessively young number for many of the things that surrounded her.

Career, family, children. On Su Tan'er, there are enough complex responsibilities and obligations, and occasionally only in some gaps between getting along. Yunzhu was able to see these things. This woman is a little younger than herself. Worry about your own hand, what your husband left behind, for the discipline of the child, in addition, in a lot of busyness. Get along with yourself and even with Jin'er. Behind the seemingly casual. Maybe it's also a conscious of the mood of being a housewife.

After her husband leaves home, she has to take care of what her husband has left behind and discipline the children well. She also has to be relatively active in getting along with the woman who shares the same man with her. What she was doing in her heart might not be good-looking on the surface, but from the bottom of her heart, hoping to alleviate some of her worries for the man in the distance—it may not be easy to say so clearly, but there is definitely a part of the reason for it.

Yunzhu used to be in the Qinglou and was quite sensitive to these things. is also a woman, after realizing this, she felt a little guilty and a little pity for Tan'er. She doesn't have the ability to do too much for Ning Yi, and she can't afford to have a family, if she can do anything, it is nothing more than chatting with her, relieving boredom, and preparing some relaxing refreshments for her. In the hot summer afternoon, Yunzhu talked softly with her, played a soothing song, sometimes chatting and chatting, Tan'er would also fall asleep in this atmosphere, and when she woke up, it was the most peaceful time in the afternoon.

If the initial interaction with Yunzhu was based on "necessity", after getting along for a while, it became mutual recognition and cordiality. Tan'er certainly has the ability, after a while, she can feel Yunzhu's concern for her, and the deeper reason after that concern, in a sense, Tan'er is a woman from a merchant family after all, and she is still quite interested in Yunzhu's temperament and talents.

And the biggest foundation of intimacy between the two can only be said to be the recognition and cherishing of this family. The cordiality between Xiaochan and Tan'er stems from the master-servant relationship and sisterhood from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship between her and Ning Yi is another matter, and Jin'er only agrees with Yunzhu and Ning Yi. And Tan'er and Yunzhu, because of their identification with this family, quickly became close friends in a few months.

For such a thing, after Ning Yi came back, he felt a little surprised. Yunzhu would tell him about the pressure on Tan'er's body, and Tan'er occasionally longed to tell him about Yunzhu's many talents, elegant and quiet temperament. The two of them would occasionally sleep together - if Ning Yi took the initiative to make such a non-dividing request, he would probably be rejected, but after the two of them slept together, he could more or less go over to join in the fun, and the three of them cuddled together and slept quietly in a whispered chat.

After nearly half a year, Jin'er and Tan'er have basically adopted a reconciled attitude, but they are still not intimate. Her relationship with Yunzhu and Xiaochan is okay, but Ning Yi can't stand her a little. After getting married and living in the cave, Ning Yi set off for Luliang, no matter what the reason, in the past half a year, Jin'er's love was somewhat lonely.

is also for this reason, after Ning Yi came back, the first thing he did was to find her and accompany her. When the two were alone, the woman who originally seemed lively and cheerful looked at him and kept crying, and couldn't stop at all. Whether Ning Yi hugged her and apologized, or spoke to her softly, it only exacerbated the situation. Jin'er just cried in his arms, and occasionally spoke: "I don't want to cry...... I—I'm happy ......"

This was done until the night, after Ning Yi took off her clothes, her lips were choked, and for the second time after nearly half a year, her body trembled like a virgin, and her hands wrapped Ning Yi's body tightly until they finally fell asleep because of fatigue.

In the next few days, her love gradually recovered, and it took nearly half a month to return to the original state of the heartless girl.

The weather became colder in September, and at the end of the month, the little prince Zhou Junwu went to Beijing once, and talked with Ning Yi about many things, including the scale of the Gewu Party he built in Jiangning, and the current situation. I also went to visit the achievements of Ning Yi's side. Needless to say, the surprise in the heart of the sixteen-year-old boy was needless to say, in the initial period, he almost completely forgot about going to various families for blind dates, stayed in the Zhuji compound outside the city and refused to come out, and later recorded many things one by one, and talked to Ning Yi about the same, before he was willing to come out to meet some women from large families, or participate in some entertainment.

The originally simple and well-behaved little prince looked at the affairs of men and women very ordinarily, which surprised Ning Yi a little. But the most unexpected thing was what Jun Wu told him about later. On the relationship between sister and brother-in-law - these things. It was not mentioned in Zhou Pei's greeting letter to him.

Ning Yi vaguely remembered the deep blessing when Zhou Pei said goodbye to him before leaving Beijing, whether a woman can be happy in this era is just a hammer deal. When I first met the siblings. Zhou Pei is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Now it has come to the question of whether the marriage is happy or not. Thinking about it like this, it's a little embarrassing, but this kind of problem. Even he had no choice but to sigh. If you want to lament the tragedy of the old society, it is too pretentious, but in any case, the mood is somewhat complicated.

In October, Xiaochan became pregnant, and the weather began to enter winter. The family often nested in a warm room full of fox furs and blankets, chatting and playing games, and Ning Xi often ran outside without fear of the cold. When Wen Ren and others came over, he often said that Ning Yi was poor and luxurious, and before it snowed, he thought about hibernating.

The administration of the Prime Minister in the north is proceeding in an orderly manner with the passage of time. Win over some really usable copycat members, and try to use every piece of military supplies to be sent out on the cutting edge. In the Golden Palace, he argued with Tan Zhi and others, criticized each other, and sometimes had to take two steps back. Things seemed to be slow, and the changes were unusually rapid, and in some ways, Ning Yi and the others didn't know whether the whole situation was going to get better or worse.

The tentacles stretched out through Yanmen Pass, and all aspects of the court were also trying their best to win over Pharmacist Guo, and the Prime Minister had to participate in it, frequently showing goodwill. As for the Jin Kingdom, the envoys of the court, and the representatives of many large merchants are trying their best to promote the business and trade between the two sides, hoping to make these exchanges a reciprocal normal state, but the heavy snow has begun to fall in the north.

Outside the temple and the community, the martial arts. Due to Sikong Nan's death, Lin Xichan, Wang Nantuo and others were furious, and the Great Light Sect went all out to fight back to the south, searching for and killing Chen Fan and his wife. However, the Miao Village where the Badao is located has taken the opportunity to roll up the momentum, connecting some of the green forest people who had contacts at the beginning, and at this time, the entire southern green forest has begun to set off a dog-tooth fight, coupled with the intervention of the six doors, it really seems to be bloody. However, since the court's vision has been set to the north, in a short period of time, there will be no large-scale forces invested in the green forest, coupled with the death of Sikong Nan to the Great Light Sect, this battle that happened in the green forest in the south, the overlord behind the stealth may not necessarily have the upper hand, and Ning Yi does not need to rush to intervene in it.

Ning Yi occasionally went out, and he would invite someone to go to the alum building to talk about business, and sometimes, the teacher would come to visit. For the teacher, the future marriage has become an imminent and important issue, but Ning Yi also knows that in the recent period, when the teacher is free, he often goes out of the city to give porridge and steamed buns to beggars outside the city, and once she was almost attacked, but she is still happy.

In the past, the teacher also used to do good deeds, so most people said that she had Buddha nature, and they did not have a low opinion of her kindness, but at this time, her kindness became more and more powerful, and she could only think that she was avoiding certain things. Ning Yi has nothing to say about this, it seems that it is no longer possible not to marry, but even if he marries, it is difficult to avoid being unhappy like Xiao Pei, anyway, it is none of his business, Ning Yi will not say much about it, after all, this kind of thing, no matter how you say it, it can be wrong.

In the interaction with Ning Yi, the biggest doubt in Shishi's heart was actually what he had been doing recently. She asked both times, but Ning Yi couldn't explain either. What should I say, sooner or later, the Jin people will come over? In order to prevent the golden people from calling, I sent a lot of storytellers? In any way, it would seem extremely strange.

Time passed in such an atmosphere, it snowed in Bianliang City, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Zhouhai came back, and as for the Qin family brothers, Wang Shanyue, Li Pin and others, who Ning Yi was familiar with, most of them stayed in their respective places and were busy with their own affairs. At the end of the twelfth year of Jinghan, this was a not very lively winter, and in the Ning Mansion, only the warmth was worth mentioning, but in the process of occasionally going out of the city to give porridge, among the beggars gathered outside the city, there were also a large number of them, who were freezing and starving to death.

Heavy snow covers the mountains.

On the unruly roads, only in a few places around the city, there are cars and horses braving the wind and snow. The warmth of the Chu Pavilion in the city is still warm, and there are also pedestrians going out on the street, and there are often steaming cauldrons in the slightly open shops, attracting customers to come and go. In the inn, the exhausted travelers fight or quarrel with the boss. In the interval of three or five days, the literati will have a poetry gathering, and the Qingqi people will sing soft and glutinous words, and the atmosphere will be warm and fragrant. Vegetable vendors rub their hands together at the morning market, their mouths are hot, and charcoal sellers walk through the early morning gates.

It looks like it's still the same winter time as in previous years, and it's about to pass in a blink of an eye...... (To be continued......)
