The noise in the front yard did not spread to the back yard, but Shen Qing still couldn't sleep for a long time.

When he was about to rest after dinner, Chen'er led Shen Jing back to Jiang Ning's small courtyard. Shen Jing looked strangely at Chen'er and entered the small courtyard again, originally thinking that Chen'er had forgotten something here, but he didn't expect that the place where he slept tonight was in the small courtyard.

The three-story small attic that belonged to Jiang Ning stood in front of Shen Jing's eyes, and his bedroom was in the small courtyard, which happened to be in the wing room on the first floor opposite Jiang Ning's small building. Shen Jing naturally asked Chen'er why he was arranged here, but Chen'er couldn't say why, only said that it was arranged by his own young lady.

Shen Guo had been sitting at the stone table in the small courtyard until the willow top on the moon, and still couldn't wait for Jiang Ning's return. So Shen Jing had no choice but to wait no longer and go back to the room.

The furnishings in the room are as simple and elegant as ever, without too much ornate decoration, mainly in blue-gray tones. When Shen pushed the door in, sandalwood was still burning on the table in the room, and a wisp of green smoke was slowly spilling out of the furnace and drifting to the roof.

————

At two o'clock, the moon had passed mid-heaven.

In the room, the candle flame that had been extinguished was lit again, and from the outside, a figure was swaying with the candle flame.

Xu is hiding something in his heart and doesn't want to say, so it is difficult to sleep. Shen Jing, who was sitting at the table, stared at the teacup in his hand in a daze, and his thoughts suddenly came to his heart. He's not thinking about anything, he's just being so distracted, and he likes it when he's alone or on his mind.

Shen Jing gently turned the teacup holding the ground in his hand, took a sip and put it down.

At some point, a low piano sound came from outside the house, dragging the person who was in a trance. Shen Kuang walked to the window curiously, pushed open the window, and looked in the direction where the sound of the piano came.

The lights in Jiang Ning's attic are still on, and the sound of the piano comes from the small building.

There is also a small pavilion on the third floor of the attic, and the light and shadow in the pavilion are bright at this time, and Shen Jing can vaguely see the shadow of the shallow plucked strings on it.

For Shen Kuang, listening to the piano is the same as drinking tea, not because he is here, he just likes it because he likes it, thinks the piano sounds good, thinks the tea is delicious, that's all.

Shen Jing, who couldn't understand the artistic conception of the tune, was still attracted by this graceful turn to listen to the sound of the piano, he no longer lowered his head in a daze, but leaned against the windowsill with white mud, closed his eyes lightly, and felt the curling sound of the piano from the pavilion.

Slowly, the song ended, and Shen Jing's eyes also opened.

He naturally raised his head and glanced at the pavilion, which was just an unintentional glance, but he never thought that a small head had poked out from the pavilion and was looking at him with a smile.

It was a woman, dressed in red, with red lips, a faint pink rouge on her cheeks, and a three-petal plum blossom painted on her forehead. The cold moonlight shone on the woman's side face, and the woman's appearance was already one of the best, and it was even more beautiful under the moonlight. The woman smiled slightly, she was looking at Shen Jing who was leaning against the window.

The two looked at each other, and the woman took the lead in speaking: "It's so late at night, isn't Shen Gongzi still sleeping?" ”

Shen Jing had also seen Jiang Ning paint light makeup before, and I have to say that Jiang Ning is indeed a big beauty. Even if I haven't seen him for a few hours, when I see you again, I will already be Jiang Ning with pink face and makeup. Shen Jing looked at it in a daze, and couldn't help it for a while.

On the pavilion, Jiang Ning saw Shen Jing, who was staring at her blankly and didn't answer, and shouted in a low voice: "Shen Gongzi, Shen Gongzi." ”

Hearing this, Shen Kuang, who was thinking far away, quickly came back to his senses, and in order to hide his embarrassment, Shen Kuang pretended to hear everything, and asked directly, "Miss Jiang, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Guo's lame acting skills made Jiang Ning cover the corners of her mouth and laugh again and again.

"I saw that Shen Gongzi was in a daze, so I called Gongzi a few times. It's so late, why hasn't Shen Gongzi slept yet? ”

"Oao! I couldn't sleep a little, I was going to practice swordsmanship, but I just heard Miss Jiang you are stroking the qin, and I was attracted by the sound of the piano for a while, so I have been hearing it now. ”

Shen Guo didn't hide anything, and the details that seemed to be touched by him without a trace.

Jiang Ning knew that Shen Guo, who looked personable and dumbfounded, was from the heart, so after hearing his words, her heart became even happier, she looked at Shen Jing and asked, "Then does Shen Gongzi think it sounds good?" ”

Shen Guo didn't hesitate, and then said, "It's good, I've never heard such a nice tune." Didn't Miss Jiang sleep so late? ”

Jiang Ning didn't reply directly, but asked playfully: "Childe looks at my outfit, what do you think I did?" ”

I was bored, and Shen Jing didn't mind chatting with Jiang Ning a few more words, so he looked at her. Long-sleeved good dancing, ebony guqin, these details all point in one direction, Shen Jing looked at it carefully, so he smiled and said slowly: "It has something to do with this qin song?" ”

Jiang Ning thought about it for a while, and felt that Shen Jing's answer seemed to be correct, so he also smiled and said, "Shen Gongzi is right!" Tonight was my day of dancing, so I danced once. ”

Shen Guo looked at Jiang Ning's pretty face that hadn't taken off her makeup and said softly, "There must be a lot of people who come here!" ”

Jiang Ning nodded: "A lot of people." ”

She thought that Shen Jing would be curious about why she would do these seemingly lowly things in her identity, but she didn't expect that Shen Jing was not only not curious, but felt that it was normal, so after you said a word, Jiang Ning began to be curious.

She looked at Shen Jing and couldn't help asking, "Isn't Shen Gongzi curious why I would do such a thing?" ”

Shen Jing lowered his head and thought about it, and found that there was really nothing to be curious about, so he replied: "It is said that Miss Jiang is the Oiran in Tingxiang Garden, since she has such an identity, she should do something related to it, such as dancing." ”

Jiang Ning smiled after listening to Shen Jing's words, in fact, she had always known that Shen Jing could always explain everything that seemed interesting in such a calm and breezy way. Shen Guo has always had this ability, just like the feeling he himself gives people.

"Doesn't Shen Gongzi want to see Jiang Ning when he dances? Those scholars are all boasting, and someone has written a few poems for Chen'er to send to me, isn't Shen Gongzi curious? Jiang Ning stared at Shen Jing, his eyes burning.

Shen Jing first glanced at Jiang Ning, then raised his eyebrows and thought about it. "Actually, I think so." After saying that, he also smiled to himself.

Jiang Ning was a little hilarious, covering the corners of her mouth and giggling. Shen Jing looked at her, and kept laughing for no reason.

After a long time, Jiang Ning stopped. She held the guqin in one hand, held the railing with the other, and with a light tap under her feet, she fell lightly from top to bottom.

The red dress in the moonlight was very conspicuous, and Shen Jing had been looking at it.

Jiang Ning gently landed on the stone table and placed the guqin on the stone table. Shen Jing didn't hide anything, jumped off the window edge with his sword, and walked over.

At some point, another pot of tea was placed on the stone table, and Jiang Ning saw Shen Jing coming over, so the first cup was poured for him.

Shen Kuang, who thought it was tea, drank all the water in the cup, but as soon as the tea was in his mouth, he noticed that something was wrong. A spicy smell came down my throat and down to my abdomen, and it was wine, not water.

Shen Jing frowned and glanced at the empty wine glass. After a moment, after suppressing the discomfort, he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ning and said, "This is wine?" ”

As soon as Shen Jing finished speaking, he saw Jiang Ning also raise his neck and drink a cup without the slightest hesitation. Jiang Ning replied softly after drinking: "This is Fu Yuchun, the ten-year aging of the Zhao family's shop in Autumn Falling City." ”

Shen Jing was just about to say something, but Jiang Ning's second cup had already been drunk. Shen Jing looked at Jiang Ning, who seemed to have something on his mind, and didn't know what to say for a while. They were speechless, so they had no choice but to follow Jiang Ning's appearance and pour themselves a glass with a wine jug.

"I'll have two drinks with Miss Jiang!"

Shen Jing's voice was not loud, but Jiang Ning could hear it clearly. She put down her wine glass and stared at Shen Jing, her eyes fiery. In fact, Jiang Ning could see that Shen Guo was drinking for the first time, but she didn't stop her. Jiang Ning didn't speak, she just smiled, and her smile was very beautiful.

"Is it good?" After seeing Shen Jing finish drinking the third cup, Jiang Ning looked at Shen Jing and said softly.

Shen Jing frowned and took another sip, although the spicy feeling that poured out thousands of miles was not so comfortable, but after that while, a sense of pleasure would arise in his mind, and even his mood became very good, so Shen Jing wanted to drink a few more glasses.

Shen Jing tensed up and replied, "It's delicious!" It's just a little spicy. ”

Jiang Ning smiled: "Then Shen Gongzi will drink a few more glasses." ”

Jiang Ning poured another cup for Shen Jing, Shen Jing looked at Jiang Ning's lowered side face, and unconsciously looked at it a few more times.

"Miss Jiang has something on her mind?" It's still the same old problem.

The wine jug in Jiang Ning's hand was still pouring, but she raised her head, and the eyes of the two were very close at this time. The moonlight seemed to block something, so even if the two could see each other's faces so clearly, they didn't dodge.

Jiang Ning smiled: "Does Shen Gongzi also have something on his mind?" ”

The wine in the glass was full, Jiang Ning put down the wine jug, and the distance between the two widened again. Shen Jing was about to speak, but Jiang Ning asked again, "Am I beautiful tonight?" She looked at Shen Jing, her eyes were warm and deep.

When he heard Jiang Ning ask this question, Shen Jing's heart was actually very calm, and he stared at Jiang Ning's beautiful face for a while, without distraction. Then Shen Jing also smiled, the same as Jiang Ning.

The two of them were just like Jiang Ning took off the veil that covered her shoulders that day, but this time the other still had no cover.

"Beautiful!" Shen Guo looked at Jiang Ning and said slowly.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a glimmer of moonlight and their own eyes from each other's eyes, one was clear, the other was profound, and they were all equally beautiful.

The two are speechless, not so awkwardly speechless, but like a pause between the scenes, which is just right to the point.

"Do you want to see me dance?"
