Chapter 172: Never Sleeps

"Mr. Du is gone, as soon as the Spring Festival passes, I will start to clean up the people in the house, the third child ran to Suzhou at this critical time, and I don't know what it means, although Tubo has different intentions, it will take a while to fight with Dahe, if he leaves the capital, these people he finally won over, but he will have to make wedding dresses for others!"

Ning Chengyou took the initiative to go to Suzhou at the banquet, although this is a good opportunity to make contributions, but Ning Chengyou has finally improved in the capital now, and now Tubo has only moved and has not had friction with Dahe's army, who knows how long it will take, what is he in such a hurry to leave the capital?

"You're not bent on dealing with him, isn't it saving you the trouble now that he's gone?"

"He walked strangely, who knows if he is playing with any idea, Tubo has surrendered for many years, and now although Dahe's troops are heavily damaged, but a small Tubo still can't succeed, if he wants to build an immortal career with General Shen, it will be too whimsical."

Ning Chengyou has endured for many years, and he is not a brainless person, but now that the situation in the capital is favorable to him, he wants to leave, if he has no plans to calculate, it really can't be explained.

"You're not in the military department, what does it have to do with you, even if it's related, then Ning Chaoge should be worried!"

There were two more booms, and two yellow fireworks exploded in the air like a meteor shower, and quickly flew into the sky.

"I have taken care of the matter between you and Yan Xinglu, I don't know where the second child got the news! I'm going to look into this matter, and you should be careful to see if there is someone else's eyeliner hidden on your side. ”

"You doubt?" Du Yiyi's eyes tightened when she saw the fireworks.

"There are only a handful of insiders, Yan Liu and Yan Xinglu will not be stupid enough to shake this matter out, you and I can't say it, Shen Ke and his wife are even more unlikely to reveal it, Qin Huai Qinglan is loyal to me, and there is only Mother Xu among your dowry maids who knew about this at the beginning."

Ning Zhiyuan knocked his thumb and met Du Yiyi's eyes.

"Mother Xu is also loyal to me, I don't believe she would do such a thing!" Mother Xu has been working hard since she married into the Rui Wangfu, and now most of her affairs are entrusted to her, how could she betray herself.

"I just suspect it, you pay more attention, yesterday the second child failed to achieve his goal, I'm afraid that he will not be able to make a plan, you had better not have contact with Yan Xinglu, even if it is contact, it must be in a human environment, otherwise it will be easy to be criticized."

"I see!"

"It's not that I'm restricting your freedom, it's a matter of importance, and I'm doing it for your safety. I didn't find out this person for a day, and I don't feel at ease! ”

It was the first time she heard Ning Zhiyuan's explanation, and she turned her head in surprise, seeing Ning Zhiyuan's face solemn and stern, the resistance in her heart gradually dissolved.

"There's something I want to ask you!"

"Ask!"

"............ between you and the Purple Moon"

Although Ziyue is Ning Chaoge's person, she ...... How can you be so generous and say that you don't care......

"Are you jealous?"

Ning Zhiyuan leaned forward and teasingly leaned his cheek closer to hers.

The warm breath came to her face, making her rosy cheeks even more cloudy, Du Yiyi pursed her lips, her eyes widened in disbelief, but this time, she didn't push the person in front of her away like last time.

Looking at this stubborn look, Ning Zhiyuan's heart softened, and he was about to say something joking, but when he thought of the words that had just flowed, he immediately closed his mouth.

"I'm just acting in a play with her, just a play!" Ning Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at Du Yiyi's body that had not moved, got up boldly, and leaned forward a little more. "If you don't like it, I'll never do anything like this again!"

A heavy and hot breath covered her cheeks, her eyes widened, looking at the face that was only an inch away from her, and she had a very strange feeling in her heart, without the previous rejection, but far from liking, the hot and humid breath made her cheeks itch, but she didn't want to move at all.

"Yiyi ......" Seeing that she didn't move, Ning Zhiyuan slowly loosened his cheeks forward, reached out and stroked the smooth sideburns, his slender fingers grinded beside the sideburns, and he noticed that she did not resist, Ning Zhiyuan inserted his fingers into the loose bun, and with a gentle push, the hosta that fixed the coiled hair slipped down the black hair.

The palm of his hand was attached to the warm back of his head, and Ning Zhiyuan carefully rubbed it, sliding his fingers towards Du Yiyi's neck shrunk in his clothes.

As soon as the warm fingers touched the hot skin, the stunned Du Yiyi shrank his neck violently and stretched out his hand to push Ning Zhiyuan away.

When did it start, his closeness was able to make him no longer resist.

When did it start, I can't find the slightest dislike for him.

When did it start that I would actually waver in his love words?

Du Yiyi bit her red lip in a panic, and a burst of pain made her wake up instantly.

"Let's go for a walk!"

Picking up the hosta behind her, pulling away her messy hair, she got off the soft couch, put on her boots, and walked out of the house first.

There was still warmth and fragrance left on the fingertips, and the smooth feeling was still lingering in his heart for him to reminisce, clenching his fist, rubbing the fingertips that were still a little slippery with his palm, Ning Zhiyuan pulled the corners of his mouth and walked out.

That's a good start, at the very least.

He could like her in the future.

And she may like herself in the future.

The difference is just time, so that she forgets Shen Ke's time.

He had to be patient and wait well, and when she could finally get out of the cage in his heart, it would be the day when they were happy as a couple.

Du Yiyi, who had no intention of going to the street, walked on the street like a god, and the crowded crowd trampled the snow that had been piled up for several days into sewage, and the fireworks in the sky turned on and thanked, and the bursts of cheers rose and fell, and the people who had been suppressed for two months chose to vent their depression on this day of universal celebration.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, many traders sold lanterns on this day, and after the imperial court strictly banned the people from buying and selling fireworks and firecrackers, lanterns became a hot thing, and there were two circuses performing lion dances at the end of the streets of Long Street, and the stools as high as Jingtai Lou were daunting, but the lion dancers were not afraid of the cold wind and winter snow, and step by step with the cheers of the people stepped on a higher place.

Passing by some of the mansions of the high gate Zhu households, you can also see that there are people dancing dragon lanterns outside from time to time happily dancing a fire dragon made of lanterns, a middle-aged man who collects rewards is asking for rewards with the housekeepers of various families, these people are poor people in the capital, spontaneously organize dragon lantern dances, take advantage of the last day of this big year, earn a reward, do not go to the poor house, specially come to this kind of high gate and big outdoors, because the small place is also in vain, and only in these Zhumen wine and meat stinky places can earn some.

If you see richly dressed people or carriage sedan chairs on the street, they will come forward to dance and ask for a reward, and no one will account for these on Chinese New Year's Eve, and you can generally get some reward.

"If it's the Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival, it should be more lively, it's too cold at this time!" Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Du Yiyi on his side, and saw that her clothes were tightly wrapped, so he was relieved.

"Do you have any money with you?" Du Yiyi walked slowly, looking ahead.

Ning Zhiyuan spread his hands and said flatteringly: "On such a day, what kind of silver do you bring!" But if you want to buy something, I'll go back and get it!" ”

"Then you've got to say it!" Du Yiyi sneered and walked forward quickly, Ning Zhiyuan looked up to chase after him, and saw a long dragon lantern coming towards the two of them.

The dragon lantern dancers are all good hands, and when Ning Zhiyuan can't get out, he immediately surrounds the two of them in the dragon lantern.

"This master, look at your rich and noble appearance, and then send the old year to welcome the new year, you and I meet is fate, the villain here wishes the grandfather auspicious stars high, Wishing you prosperity, many blessings and many lives, prosperous financial luck, health and longevity, carp leaping over the dragon gate, spring joy coming to the door, flowers blooming and rich, family joy, flying yellow and tengda, blessing such as the East China Sea, everything goes well, happiness and happiness, official fortune and prosperity, beautiful dreams, auspicious wishes, everything goes smoothly, glory and wealth, smooth sailing, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, prosperity of all industries, abundant grains, bright future, Pengcheng Wanli, Everything went well........................"

Du Yiyi looked at the spitting middle-aged man, and whispered to Ning Zhiyuan: "If you don't give money, he will keep talking!" ”

Ning Zhiyuan touched his sleeve and interrupted the man's words with a helpless frown: "This big brother, you came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money, you better go elsewhere!" ”

"This master is laughing, isn't there silver everywhere on his body? The beauty is on the side, and the big man always has to be more refreshing, and we are all trying to have a good New Year. The middle-aged man squeezed his eyebrows and said.

"You really didn't bring any money, did you bring it?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled and asked the person beside him.

"I don't go out of the door, what kind of silver do I bring?" Du Yiyi shook her head.

"It seems that the lord and this young lady are both nobles, these people who go out without silver are all nobles, and the nobles want to add more joy to the New Year, this ............" The man rubbed his fingers and looked at Ning Zhiyuan with a smile.

Ning Zhiyuan touched his waist helplessly, there was a jade pendant hanging there, but this thing can't be given to people.

Seeing Ning Zhiyuan's helplessness, Du Yiyi thought about it and took off a pearl earring on her earlobe.

"Whoa."

Ning Zhiyuan touched the back of his head, picked up the earrings in Du Yiyi's palm, and handed them to the middle-aged man.

Looking at Ning Zhiyuan Du Yiyi's middle-aged man dressed up, he could guess that they were rich and noble, otherwise they would not have come around, looking at the size and color of the pearl, how could he not understand that he had made a lot of money on this trip, and immediately thanked the two of them and said a string of pleasing words, and left with the dragon lantern dancer.

"Next time I have the chance, I'll buy you a pair!"

finally got a chance to perform, but he still had to rely on Du Yiyi to relieve himself, and the embarrassing feeling in Ning Zhiyuan's heart just didn't need to be detailed.

"The jade pendant on your waist?" Du Yiyi glanced at the jade pendant he was holding on his waist.

"This is a gift from my father, and each of our brothers has a piece."

So, that's what they are? Du Yiyi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she quickly pursed her lips and smiled.

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned for a while, but also smiled casually: "This year, it's about to pass............"

One year, Du Yiyi lowered her eyes, she came to this world for half a year, experienced life and death, experienced a step that a woman should take, and now she has no regrets, but to say that life is happy, it is far from reaching.

"What are you going to do in the coming year?"

"Keep going until the end of my life, until I know the truth!"

"Your illness...... How does Changliu say? ”

This winter Ning Zhiyuan has passed, and she has survived it, what will happen in the coming year?
