At the end of October, after the Mid-Autumn Festival before, the matter of He An's purchase of a yard finally had an eyebrow.

A two-entry house, the main house, the wing room and the second room, etc., add up to more than ten or twenty rooms, the courtyard is spacious, planted with trees and flowers, and even a small pond.

According to the introduction of the Chinese, it was a house built by a master of Jinshi.

The yard is in a good location, close to the main street, but not so noisy.

Ji Ning turned around and asked Yu Ling, "Yu Ling, what do you think?" ”

“…… The slave doesn't know. Yu Ling hesitated for a moment and said. Buying a mansion is such an important matter, but she still doesn't express her opinion to interfere with her young master's thoughts.

Ji Ning smiled and said, "You also watched it together, how could you not know?" Let's be honest. ”

"The slave maid thinks the yard is very good, but it's expensive." Yu Ling still said honestly, no matter He An staring at him.

Ji Ning laughed and said, "Since Uncle An likes it and you like it too, then buy it." ”

"Young Master......" Yu Ling and He An couldn't help but shout.

Ji Ning waved his hand and said, "Young Master Ben likes it too." ”

Yu Ling and He An were speechless for a while.

"As soon as I bought the house, I hired someone to repair it and then moved in on an auspicious day. Well, just in time for the New Year. Ji Ning instructed He An, "I can't celebrate the New Year, and I will send someone under the fence." ”

"No!" He An saluted and replied loudly.

Ji Ning continued: "In addition, buy two maids and two maids." With such a large house, it is difficult to live in if there are fewer people. ”

"No!" He An responded.

……

……

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather has changed from hot to cool, then from cool to cold, and finally from cold to cold, and finally entered the wax moon.

In a few days, it will be the small cold of the 24 solar terms, and entering the small cold and the big cold means entering the coldest weather of the year.

Since participating in the banquet of the prince of Chongwang, Ji Ning no longer participates in the banquet, except for visiting Shen Kang once every five days and going to the Qin Mansion to learn the qin from Qin Yuanyuan, every day the basic Ji Mansion and the Sanwei Academy are two points and one line, and he studies the Four Books and Five Classics diligently.

After half a year of hard work, Ji Ning achieved initial results in the Four Books and Five Classics. The Four Books and the Five Classics are almost memorized backwards, and with his ability to comprehend the former masters of ancient literature, and with the careful guidance of Shen Kang, a leading figure in the literary world, his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics is not ordinarily transparent.

Compared with the orthodox scholars of the Great Yong Dynasty, his only drawback was in his poetry.

He didn't grow up in the Great Yong Dynasty, he didn't receive strict training in writing poems and lyrics since he was a child, he was used to the vernacular, and he was naturally weaker than orthodox scholars in writing poems and lyrics. Moreover, time is limited, and he almost concentrates on the Four Books and Five Classics, but he does not really pay attention to poetry.

At night, it was pitch black outside, the wind was whistling, Ji Ning sat in the study and read, and Yu Ling put some smokeless charcoal into the carbon basin from time to time to maintain the temperature in the study.

After entering the sub-hour, Yu Ling persuaded loudly: "Young master, it's late, you can rest." ”

Ji Ning stopped reading, he was also a little tired, and nodded to Yu Ling.

Next, Yu Ling helped clean up the desk, sent Ji Ning into the bedroom, and then brought a basin of hot water to Ji Ning's feet.

She squatted down, reached out to take off Ji Ning's shoes and socks, and then lifted Ji Ning's feet into the copper basin of hot water to wash Ji Ning's feet. At the same time, she muttered to herself with some nagging, "...... Young master, you sit at your desk every day reading and writing, and your legs are blocked by meridians, and now the weather is even colder. Before going to bed every day, soak in hot water, which not only clears the meridians but also warms the body, and you will be able to sleep well......"

Ji Ning listened, lowered his head slightly, looked at Yu Ling, and couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face.

After soaking his feet for nearly a cup of tea, Yu Ling lifted Ji Ning's feet out, wiped Ji Ning's feet clean with a cotton towel, and then waited for Ji Ning to lie down and sleep.

When he put down the mosquito net, Yu Ling said goodnight to Ji Ning first, then turned around and blew out the lights in the bedroom, and finally left Ji Ning's bedroom with a copper basin and a lantern, and closed the door.

After the door was closed by Yu Ling, the bedroom was completely plunged into darkness, and Ji Ning closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

And, after a while, he felt that something was wrong, and opened his eyes suddenly, and sure enough, he saw a figure standing outside the mosquito net in front of the bed.

"Miss Nalan?" Ji Ning asked out loud.

The figure said in a cold voice, "I can't see that you're alert. ”

"You suddenly appeared in front of Ji's bed, how can Ji ......," Ji Ning said.

But as soon as he was halfway through speaking, Nalan Chuixue suddenly raised an index finger to his lips and said, "Shhhh

Ji Ning immediately swallowed the remaining half of the sentence and listened to the voice outside the door.

Soon, he heard a light footstep approaching and walked to his door. He immediately knew it was the Rain Spirit.

Next, there was a sound of the door opening the door, and Ji Ning couldn't help but shout to Nalan Blowing Snow in a suppressed voice: "Hide!" ”

"It's just a maid of yours......" Nalan Fuxue said disappreciatively.

"Hide!!" Before she finished speaking, she was immediately ordered by Ji Ning in an unquestionable tone.

Nalan Fuxue had no choice but to quickly glance at the sleeping environment to find a place to hide, and then suddenly lifted the mosquito net, and the whole delicate body flew into the bed as light as a swallow, and finally lifted the quilt and hid in the quilt.

Ji Ning was a little speechless, Nalan Fuxue actually hid in his bed, but the next moment, the door had been opened, and the dim light of the lantern shone in.

"Yu Ling, what's wrong?" He asked, pretending to have just opened his eyes.

Yu Ling said apologetically, "Young Master, I'm noisy with you." The slave forgot the wet towel and didn't take it. In winter, wet towels are left in the house, and when they are damp, it is not good for your health. ”

"Didn't argue with me. Not asleep yet. Ji Ning said.

Then, Yu Ling walked to the bed, saw that Ji Ning's quilt was not very well covered, and reached out to help Ji Ning pull the quilt.

Ji Ning was worried that Yu Ling would find out that Nalan was blowing snow, so he hurriedly said, "I can do it myself." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the quilt on his own, and then smiled at Yu Ling.

Yu Ling looked at Ji Ning's smiling face, her eyes were dull for a moment, and she couldn't help but smile on her pretty face.

Ji Ning thought that Yu Ling would take the wet towel and leave, but he saw Yu Ling move a soft chair to sit down in front of the bed, and begged a little coquettishly: "Young master, people can't sleep, can you talk to others for a while?" ”

"This ...... Aren't you cold? Ji Ning asked embarrassedly.

"It's not cold." Yu Ling immediately shook his head and said.

Ji Ning couldn't bear to refuse Yu Ling, so he had to respond: "Okay." What do you want to say? ”

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist, he was pinched by Nalan Blowing Snow, obviously Nalan Blowing Snow was dissatisfied with his wayward request to talk about the maid in this situation.
