For the next few days, it rained in Jiangning. The city has not yet opened, and the continuous autumn rain seems to dissolve the entire city, and the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, but there is also a deep sense of exhaustion and fatigue. Before the city was opened, there was not much to do, and some simple things on weekdays had to be done more than usual at this time. The price of rice and grain is getting higher day by day, and all kinds of disputes are gradually increasing, and everyone is a little tired in such a negative day.

However, if the cloth line in Jiangning is separated, the situation at this time is slightly different, a storm begins to brew, and every household is carrying out dynamic operations, new preparations, new contacts, ready to see the direction of the wind, find the trend, occupy the position. Originally as the first cloth merchant in Jiangning, the Wu family won the position of the imperial merchant this year, indicating that the next may be to prepare for expansion, of course, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a big move in a few months, after the imperial merchant will form a huge responsibility, and now the Wu family will have to make some adjustments to the imperial merchant's annual cloth problem, but as long as it stabilizes, it will inevitably begin to make great strides.

In contrast, the Su family began to waver, and after the night of the imperial business, Su Tan'er finally began to appear, preparing to actively stabilize the movements that the Su family would face, and find previous partners to try to stabilize the relationship. The Su family also has some background, and the answer they have received so far is still good, but under this surface, it is difficult to know how many people have begun to retreat, and how many people have secretly contacted other businesses.

The Xue family couldn't do anything about these things, they could only wait quietly, quietly arrange, accumulate strength, and in some situations in the future, carve up more market shares that might be released by the Su family. In the past, they were the ones who made the most preparations for the Su family, and at this time, they may not be able to seize the opportunity and obtain more huge benefits.

These things have not really taken shape, but they have begun to corrode the entire structure before it rapidly like the appearance of termites, and after a month or two, the whole situation may really collapse, and the Wu family will move towards a new peak, and the Su family will withdraw from the position of the three major cloth merchants in Jiangning, return to the scale of medium-sized cloth merchants, and then ...... In the eyes of the discerning person, it may begin to weaken further.

The changes within the Su family, in a sense, have already begun.

In the courtyard of the Su family now, all the words about the imperial merchant that night are spreading. The big room, the second room, and the third room have begun to draw a line really clearly, and the voices in the open and in the dark have begun to talk about Ning Yi's incompetence and Su Tan'er's incompetence. Of course, in the past few days, Su Tan'er has been running around, too busy to pay attention to these people at home, and those people don't have the courage to say anything directly to Su Tan'er for the time being. But within the Su family, all kinds of calls to stop letting Su Tan'er take charge of business have sounded, and they quarrel every day.

Not only some uncompetitive children in the second and third rooms, such remarks also began to appear in the mouths of some old people of the Su family. The strength that Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang had accumulated over the years finally began to be released, ready to give Dafang a fatal blow after Su Boyong fell. **Under the circumstance that the Su family is worried about the outside world, even the old lady Su can't suppress these things with high-pressure methods at this time.

I'm afraid it will take a while for these things to really become conclusive, but in the eyes of the vast majority of people, Su Tan'er's withdrawal from the Su family's business stage in the near future may be an inevitable trend, no matter how hard she tries to maintain and stop it at this time, some things are really defeated, and she herself is an NV, in such a crisis state, it is even more difficult to give people a sense of stability - many people may admit Su Tan'er's business skills, even if this failure may be able to be pulled back in the future, It's just that they have a hard time believing that the Su family will continue to let her take the helm.

And during this period, there were probably the most various remarks about criticizing Ning Yi, although he was not put on the stage to let him be how to do it, but under sī, even many people who were originally close to Dafang did not say very well, and some people even began to say that this scholar was not worthy of Sister Erxiǎo. After that night, Su Tan'er completely took back the position that belonged to her, and Ning Yi had nothing to do, these days he returned to the time when he had nothing to do in the past, it was raining outside, and the sī school was not opened, so he wrote at home or something, occasionally taking a xiǎo cylinder and swinging it, and he couldn't see anything different from before.

However, although the city was not opened and the sī school was still closed, several people in the Su family courtyard had already begun to find Su Chonghua, the head of the Yushan Academy, and asked to send their children to other classes. The children of these people were originally students taught by Ning Yi, and at this time, their parents had probably decided to be close to the second and third rooms, so they no longer wanted their children to be taught by Ning Yi. Among the Su family, the matter of sī school has always been the place that the old lady attaches the most importance to and controls the most, and the development of the activity of standing in line here obviously means that this time is not a child's play, and these things have also spread widely in the Su Mansion in a few days. ,

As September approaches, the weather is sunny again, and it is said that the castle may also be open on these days. The tense atmosphere in the city seemed to have weakened slightly, but in the Su family's mansion, the atmosphere was deepening every day. Under the verandah, two maids walked over with some things, whispering as they went.

"If you mess up such a big thing, that uncle can still be like a person who has nothing to do......"

"It's still the first talent, it's useless at all......"

"Sister Erxiǎo was also affected by him......"

"The Su family doesn't know what will happen to Lu Dao......"

In such an atmosphere, the occasional maids who walked by talked about it like this, and it has become the norm, but today's two maids seem to be a little unlucky, and when they were about to turn the corner of the corridor, they suddenly saw a cold pretty face waiting there: "You two, go over there to help, they move the yard next door, and there are not enough people." ”

"Juan, Sister Juan'er......"

"Didn't you hear me? Everyone is doing things, why don't you go soon? ”

"But...... Sister Sixiǎo called us ......"

"Sister Sixiǎo is not in a hurry, I'll call someone else...... Just go! ”

"Yes......"

The two maids were hesitant, but finally hurried away. **

Juan'er frowned and walked quickly forward, and after a while, she heard the people inside talking about Ning Yi at the entrance of a courtyard, which was naturally not a good thing. This time she pursed her lips, and finally did not go in again, everyone was saying that she was not in control of all these things after all, but lowered her head and walked quickly to the other side of the courtyard. At this time, in the Xiǎo courtyard, Chan'er was sweeping the floor with a broom. Juan'er walked over and looked at Ning Yi's room, and then looked upstairs: "Xiǎo Chan, where is my uncle?" ”

"Uh, let's get out of the water." xiǎo Chan hugged the broom, "In the morning, I said that it was finally sunny, and I went out to go shopping, Juan'er had something to do with my uncle?" ”

"Fang just passed through the mouth of mén, and the pair of xiǎo sisters and brothers of the Zhou family came to find their uncle."

"Well, but Juan'er, your face is not very good."

"I just met a few ...... who don't understand anything"

Juan'er coldly said the words she had just heard, Chan'er pursed her lips, and her face became a little bad, everyone has heard a lot of such words in the past few days, even if she stands up and scolds, it is useless. Some other things, things they know about the Tao, can't be said at all.

"Uncle is really wronged...... Juan'er frowned slightly and said, she was a little quiet, but at this time, she was really sorry for Ning Yi.

"Sister Xing'er also scolded yesterday...... Chan'er said, "But my uncle seems to be quite leisurely, and I also asked my uncle yesterday if he was angry, and my uncle was setting up the telescope or something, so he shook his head casually and didn't say anything." ”

Chan'er imitated Ning Yi's appearance when she shook her head casually, but it was difficult to say whether it looked like it or not, in fact, she also cared, Juan'er said a few more words to her, and hurried out of the city to reply to the two sisters and brothers of the Zhou family.

After Juan'er left, Xiǎo Chan looked at Ning Yi's room with a broom for a while, bit her mouth, and muttered: "Uncle Koua ......", then took the broom and swept the ground hard.

At this time in the morning, Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu met in the Xiǎo Building.

He went to the xiǎo laboratory next to the academy to get some things, and then wandered here, but he didn't expect that Nie Yunzhu happened to be at home. After August 25, the two met for the first time.

Seeing him suddenly at the entrance of Mén, Nie Yunzhu's expression was obviously a little relieved. The two didn't say much to each other, Ning Yi just carried a xiǎo bag and waved his hand casually, while Nie Yunzhu stood on the steps and let out a smile, which looked like a wife welcoming her tired husband home.

"How's it going?"

"It's good in the store, Jin'er is over there, so let's rest." Nie Yunzhu tilted his head and let Ning Yi inside, "What about you?" ”

"It's okay, it's raining these days, so there's no way to come out, and when it's sunny, I'll go out for a walk."

"That's good." The living room is open, leading directly to the lùtai that juts out of the river, and the autumn sun shines on it, and a crooked-necked tree grows against the xiǎo building, casting shade on the lù platform at this time. Nie Yunzhu thought for a while: "Actually...... I've heard about the past few days. ”

"Oh." Ning Yi glanced at her, then shook his head with a smile, "Uh...... Things are certainly not as scary as the rumors out there, but they have been a bit noisy in the last few days......"

"It's better to ...... I'll play some tunes for Liheng to listen to, be relieved? ”

"Won't there be some trouble, you finally have a day off...... "It's okay." Nie Yunzhu smiled, then lowered his eyes, "I...... That's all I'm going to do......"

Lùtai is facing the river, and at a glance, the surrounding scenery is pleasant, and there is not much shade sprinkled by the crooked neck trees, and most of the lùtai is still in the lazy sunlight after all. Ning Yi took a cushion and sat down casually on the edge of the lù platform, and when Nie Yunzhu came over with the tea tray, he saw that he was sitting on the floor of the lù platform, with his back against the wall, curling a tuǐ to look at the outline of the scenery in the distance, and couldn't help but smile and put the plate down.

"I'll go get the piano."

She whispered, and Ning Yi looked at her and nodded.

In a moment, the piano sounded...... Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

The feeling of warmth was like floating in the water, and my mother's hand gently brushed over my body...... Nie Yunzhu didn't know what kind of qin music Lu Dao was playing, he was purely music blind in this regard, and he didn't like these guqin songs very much in the past, but at this time he was still immersed in it, Nie Yunzhu occasionally hummed a few words of music, all kinds of things, like trivial sentences muttered by xiǎonv people. Occasionally look over there, the autumn light is sprinkled, as if gold dust has fallen on her body, the clothes are like snow, the green silk moves slightly, and the expression of the nv is focused, but when he looks over, he also smiles softly at him in the gap between playing the piano.

She had changed her clothes when she came in...... When he realized this dimly, Ning Yi had gradually fallen asleep. The willows on the opposite bank are like a screen, the autumn wind blows, the river flows from the bay under the lù platform, the leaves on the lù platform are moving, and occasionally a leaf falls, the qin song converges in the sound of the water and leaves, and the soft yín in the throat of the nv zi sings, tactfully and ethereal.

I don't know when the music stopped, and I sat there for a long time, looking at the sleeping posture of the man not far away. In a few years, this is the first time she has continued to play for such a long time, even if she was interested in entertaining herself in the past, it would not be to the point where she is now, but in those days, even if she was in the Qinglou earlier, her performance was actually more for herself. Not long ago, in Yancui Building, her performance was a winner, and the real playing component was shallow, only at this time, she was here to concentrate on playing for others, for a long time, let him fall asleep, hoping that he could feel comfortable and quiet, and be soothed.

The wind was blowing on the river, she pushed away the guqin and stood up, followed by a slight sound of footsteps, she quietly packed up the teapot, teacup and snacks, afraid that Ning Yi would fall asleep and fall back, and then sat next to her in this autumn light, quietly looking at the sleeping face.

I don't know when, the wind seems to be a little stronger, she went to the room, and soon after came out with a thin blanket, and when she squatted down beside the man, NV hesitated slightly, I don't know if Lu Dao will wake him up if she puts the blanket on it, and this blanket is her and Jin'er's, and it has an exclusive atmosphere for NV. At this moment, Ning Yi's eyelids moved a few times, and then, he woke up dimly, róu róu eyes, his hand supported the floor, and stood up.

The nv in white clothes and white skirts hugged the blanket, and stood up involuntarily, slightly hesitating, a little overwhelmed.

"Hmm, I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, I'm asleep...... You must be playing too well. ”

Ning Yi smiled a little vaguely, but Nie Yunzhu didn't answer. Turning his head, the white Sè Raider stepped forward, stood on tiptoe in her white socks, tilted her head, and pressed the chún flaps to his double chún.

Soft, warm, slightly trembling and jerky touch, the autumn scene is lost between the wooden buildings in this river bay, the wind blows, the sun shines through the eaves, and a leaf falls in the wind, quietly watching this scene...... Ask for a commuter pass, a recommended ticket!!
