Only then did she realize that Ning Nanwu didn't mean that, and her face was red, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Jiang Chengjia followed behind him.

Ning Nan deliberately slowed down and waited for her.

When the two of them staggered back to the front hall, Dou Taijun had already changed his clothes and sat on the futon in the hall. Qianshan, Xiaocui and others had already cut off the food table from the east kitchen and arranged a dumpling banquet in the hall.

When the two of them came to the hall, they were about to have a dinner for supper.

Just when the younger generations saluted the elders, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanwu went to the center of the front hall, bowed respectfully in front of Dou Taijun and said, "Zhaoyuan and Mengluo are paying New Year's greetings to Taijun." In the new year, Taijun is as blessed as the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan! ”

Because a few of them live in this red maple village, they naturally do not have so many rules of the court nobles, so they worship a few times according to folk customs, which can be regarded as praying for the New Year.

Dou Taijun smiled and said, "Okay, good!" Come to me, both of you. ”

Ning Nan cautiously helped Jiang Chengjia beside him up, and then the two of them went to Dou Taijun's side together.

Dou Taijun, who was sitting upright on the seat, took out two tired coins from his arms that were threaded with red rope and tied up.

Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nan hurriedly bent down, knelt in front of the old woman's table, lowered their heads, and waited for Dou Taijun to put on the disgusting money pendant for the two of them.

Dou Taijun got up slightly, put on the pendant for them one by one, and instructed with a smile: "The back of this coin is printed with a dragon and phoenix, giving the dragon and phoenix auspicious, male and female double meaning, and the front is cast with the words 'go to the evil and eliminate the evil', I wish you and your husband and wife will walk hand in hand in the future, and they will be safe and smooth." ”

The two of them sincerely accepted Dou Taijun's instructions, and the two tired coins hung around their necks, so they looked up at each other, looked at each other and said with a smile: "Great-grandson, great-granddaughter-in-law Xie Taigrandmother prays, and will strictly follow the teachings of the great-grandmother, step into action, and work together." ”

After this indispensable prayer was over, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanwu began to wait for supper in the outer courtyard, and the servants who continued to keep watch for the New Year issued a pre-prepared money for disgust and victory as a thing to ward off evil spirits.

It took a lot of effort to come and go, and the dumpling banquet in the front hall had just begun.

Because Jiang Chengjia was pregnant, she couldn't keep the age until dawn, so after the ugly time, the servants and maids in the courtyard all dispersed, Dou Taijun was long-lived, and he couldn't stay up too long, and when Jiang Chengjia went back to the house to rest, she also followed back from the corridor to her own room.

The front hall, which was still bustling with activity, fell silent in an instant.

Jiang Chengjia was really sleepy, and when he entered the house, he was very sleepy when he got into the bed, and he fell asleep dizzily.

After Ning Nan coaxed her to sleep, he got off the couch lightly and cautiously went out of the house.

He closed the door of the room, stood under the porch, frowned, and stayed in the corridor for a long time, as if hesitating to think of something.

After a while, he turned around and walked towards the Tingxuan Building where Dou Yueshan lived.

In the dead of night at this moment, he believed that Dou Taijun would not come out again after entering the house, and he should not have expected that he would go to Tingxuan Tower to find the drunk Dou Yueshan at this time.

But Ning Nan was still cautious and walked from the back to the front of Ting Xuanzhao.

The attic courtyard here was so dark that it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Seeing that there were no sharp-eyed old women like human spirits around Dou Taijun nearby, he climbed into the courtyard of Tingxuan Building through the back window, and slowly groped towards the house where Dou Yueshan lived from the junction of Zhaomen and Yuemen.

Tingxuan Lou was dark everywhere, only Dou Yueshan's room was still burning with a faint layer of candlelight.

Ning Nan thought it was strange, he thought that Dou Yueshan had fallen asleep, and he planned to enter the house, so he woke him up directly, but he didn't expect that he hadn't fallen asleep yet?

He pushed open the door and quietly came to Dou Yueshan's side.

I saw a layer of tulle on the bed. There was a man who was asleep, and this person was sleeping with an extremely dignified and strict appearance, which was completely different from his temperament.

Dou Yueshan laughs on weekdays, without a positive shape, but when she sleeps, she is surprisingly well-behaved.

Ning Nan looked at the candle lit in front of his window, as if it had been newly lit, as if he was waiting for someone to come.

He lifted the veil tent, patted Dou Yueshan's shoulder without any scruples, and called, "Zi Yue? Wake up..."

The man on the bed was breathing heavily, and with a mutter, he rolled over and rolled into the corner, where a strong smell of wine came to his nose. Good web

Ning Nan couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

He was a little impatient, so he directly grabbed Dou Yueshan's collar and dragged him from the other side of the bed to the edge of the bed. Then he unceremoniously slapped his cheek three times with his hand and called, "Zi Yue? Dou Zi said?! ”

Dou Yueshan was woken up by his movement, opened her eyes when she opened her eyes, looked at the faint light in front of her, was a little stunned, rubbed her eyes uncomfortably, and then looked in front of her, only to see Ning Nan sitting at the head of his bed with a serious face.

Dou Yueshan was startled, immediately sat up from the couch, and said in horror: "You haven't hugged your little wife to sleep in the middle of the night, why did you come to me?" ”

Ning Nan looked at him seriously and said, "I'm here to ask you... Why are you so greedy today? On Chinese New Year's Eve, you neither paid New Year's greetings to Dou Taijun, nor did you celebrate the New Year with us... But what happened that upset you? ”

Seeing that he was here to ask these questions, Dou Yueshan's face instantly darkened. Although, in the dim candlelight, Ning Nan couldn't see the change in his face clearly, but he clearly felt his emotional change.

So he paused in his heart, and said to Dou Yueshan with a little caution: "But is it because of my uncle's letter?" ”

Dou Yueshan didn't know why, her eyes were firmly fixed on Ning Nan, and she didn't let go for a moment, as if she wanted to see him through. There was a slight movement of light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ning Nan was stared at by him so intently, which made his heart a little furious, so he said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" Is there something on my face that makes you gaze so affectionately? ”

Dou Yueshan saw him teasing herself, so she retorted: "Ning Zhaoyuan, you are shameless!" has a daughter-in-law, but you still have to tease others? What is the affectionate gaze? Are you really good at me as a dragon? ”

Ning Nan raised his eyebrows and said with a cold face: "Otherwise, why are you looking at me so intently?" ”

Dou Yueshan sighed and said, "I just sighed... If I hadn't met you as a child... Maybe it's rare to have a confidant like you in this life. ”

Hearing his slightly sad tone, Ning Nan was puzzled: "How did you get this?" Suddenly so sentimental? ”

Dou Yueshan seemed to have something hidden in her heart, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she finally stopped and didn't say anything.

In the end, he was silent for a long time, afraid that he would not be able to hide Ning Nan's worries, so he still made up a reason: "My father will come here to pick me up and my great-grandmother to return to Chang'an Zuo Feng Yi after the New Year." This farewell, you and I don't know when we will be able to meet. That's why I'm displeased, and that's why I'm drunk. ”

When Ning Nan heard this, he knew that he must still have something else pressing in his heart, but he didn't say it from himself, or maybe he couldn't say it, so he made up a reason indiscriminately.

In less than half a moment, Dou Yueshan began to bombard.

He pushed Ning Nan and said, "Go back to the house quickly!" Otherwise, my sister-in-law will wake up and see that you are not there, and she will be looking for you everywhere again! ”

Ning Nan was worried that no matter what he did tonight, it was a little strange, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of slander in his heart.

"I don't see you hiding from me so diligently on weekdays, why don't you want to talk to me today?" Ning Nan ignored his push and asked, "If you think the Dou family is too depressed, you can come to congratulate you often in the future." I'm afraid I'm going to have to live here for a few years. It just so happens that you are not in the court, so you are waiting for you here at any time. ”

Dou Yueshan nodded, lowered her eyes, and unconsciously revealed a trace of sadness, but this was only a short moment, and soon, he smiled again and said, "I know!" Don't be so wordy! I'm just drunk today, and now I'm getting a lot better. Zhaoyuan! How did you get so much nonsense? ”

Ning Nan was worried that he was really unwilling to tell the real reason why he was drunk and greedy today, so he didn't continue to ask, only nodded to him and said: "Okay, you have a good rest, you haven't paid New Year's greetings to Dou Taijun tonight, tomorrow morning, you still need to go to the old lady's courtyard to pay a respect, go to bed early." ”

Dou Yueshan had never seen such a nagging Ning Nanwu, so she couldn't help but smile: "You are now... Being managed by my sister-in-law has become more and more docile, in the past, I was like this, you usually only said two words 'deserved', never as warm as today. ”

Ning Nan knocked a chestnut on Dou Yueshan's head, and said fiercely: "Warmth and affection are also what you can say?" ”

Dou Yueshan only felt a faint to intense pain coming from her brain, so she covered her forehead and said angrily: "What are you doing!" ”

Ning Nan didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up, and walked towards the door with his hands in his hands.

Dou Yueshan saw his back from the dim candlelight, and her heart was inexplicably surging because she knew the truth, and the ghost sent a message to the gods: "Brother! ”

Ning Nan frowned, his eyes froze, he turned his head to look at Dou Yueshan, and said in a daze: "What are you doing?" ”

Dou Yueshan was stunned for a moment before she realized what she had just called, and her heart instantly rose to her throat, and she smiled dryly: "Brother, rest well." ”

Ning Nanwu felt that he was inexplicable, but he couldn't say that it was strange, his brows were deeply furrowed, and three ravines were piled up.

Dou Yueshan has never called his brother, because the two were born in the same year, month and day, and they have always only called each other's small characters. Although, if calculated according to the hour, he is indeed older than Dou Yueshan. But even so, Dou Yueshan only called him Zhaoyuan.

This person's abnormal behavior now made Ning Nan worry and doubt, and he was even more curious about the letter sent to Hongfeng Village yesterday afternoon and handed over to Dou Yueshan, in addition to Dou Xunfen's family letter, what else made him abnormal?
