Chapter 26: Cousins
When I got up early, it was raining outside the house, although the rain was not very heavy, but it was foggy, and I couldn't see the road clearly, the wind passed through the hall, and I felt a chill, Jiang Ning also moved the room from upstairs to downstairs according to Wang Ruoyan's arrangement two days ago, and it was a little warmer.
This day was November 30 of the seventh year of Shenwu, and it was originally closed, and Jiang Ning didn't think about going to the academy, and the key was handed over to Wang Shi yesterday.
"Xing'er, you go out to greet you, if Uncle Seven and Cousin brought it yesterday, they should have arrived at night, but I didn't think it would rain, I should have lived directly in the city, I went home early this morning, I shouldn't have brought my clothes, you brought rain gear."
"Crescent moon, you go to the small kitchen to boil some ginger soup, it's better to go to the cold when it's cold, so as not to get caught in the cold, by the way, burn the charcoal stove more vigorously."
When Wang Ruoyan arrived at Jiangning's small building, he arranged it in an orderly manner.
Half a month ago, the small stove had been burned, the Wang family is a big silk businessman, these things are complete, it is raining outside, but the house is very warm. Every day when Jiang Ning comes back in the afternoon, he either goes to the other courtyard to play around for a while, or is pulled by Xia Lao and Bi Lao to play chess, and the rest of the time is in the house.
And Wang Ruoyan has been busy for half a month, and the major shopkeepers will start to close the accounts in December, and gradually come to the Wang family for the New Year, and not all the shopkeepers can come, only those with better performance will be invited by the Wang family, and naturally Wang Ruoyan's countless cousins will also come. And she only has this half a month, which is the most leisurely of the year.
Working as a female worker in the house with the crescent moon and apricots, listening to Jiang Ning talk about the bizarre legends of ghosts and gods, sometimes he will fall into deep thought, I don't know what I want to write, Jiang Ning has always been casual, there is no temper and shelf, even if it is two maids entangled, I will talk about the last paragraph, I don't care.
Until ten days ago, he made a deck of playing cards out of hard paper......
The result can be imagined, every day the four of them climbed into bed with panda eyes and fell asleep, Jiang Ning was okay, but these three people, one dozen was a night, one dozen was a night, Jiang Ning forced the three of them away late at night, but he was still unsatisfied.
"Miss, I made a mistake, otherwise, you won't be able to win......"
"Are you wrong? You know I still have a hole card in my hand......"
"No way, what I have in my hand is ......"
The three of them chattered and argued, but Jiang Ning smiled slightly, feeling the silence and joy that he had never had.
Perhaps, this is life, Jiang Ning smiled comfortably in his heart, this is a feeling that he has never had in his previous life, maybe he is too busy and has no time to feel these trivial things around him.
In the past few days, many relatives and shopkeepers have come one after another, and they will more or less come to the small building in the backyard to greet Wang Ruoyan, after all, Wang Ruoyan has already managed some of the shops controlled by his father, and the effect is far better than those uncles, which is also the reason why Wang Ruoyan is known as the first choice in the third generation.
Jiang Ning naturally wants to meet these people with Wang Ruoyan, but he knows some things about that poem, talking about business matters, Jiang Ning listened carefully, and occasionally reciprocated with admiration and admiration, what: "xxx is really far-sighted......" "Today's teaching, it is really better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles......"
Although these flattering words are all known to be on the scene, but Jiang Ning is a scholar after all, such a compliment, naturally won some favor, these scenes in that era did not know that they had experienced tens of thousands of scenes, and they did not drag on at all, and even gave people a feeling of great importance, and the occasional movements and expressions also made people feel abrupt, and they felt that after listening to these things, they should be like this, and they should do such actions.
Wang Ruoyan was worried before, he didn't play cards according to common sense, and he heard the crescent moon say that the first time he went to the academy, he was bullied, although he didn't suffer a loss, but after all, there were still some surprises, and then what regulations were formulated, and the cabinet was closed every afternoon, but he also got the support of Dean Qi, but these things were not what she should ask, so she didn't say anything.
In the small half a year that she got along with, she said some incomprehensible things from time to time, such as "buying Ka, bombs, planes" or something, Jiang Ning explained that it was slang, but they were all people of the Great Xia Dynasty, why didn't she know? On weekdays, I read and play chess, tell stories, and don't have contact with people, and my daily life is also very regular, running in the morning, sweating in the house on rainy days, taking a bath and eating, either going to the academy, or going to play chess, or going to the street, and sometimes bringing some small and weird gadgets, I don't look like a reader at all.
Talents, who have also become scholars, should be in groups of three or five, talking about poetry and songs, discussing national affairs, or going to the Qinglou, or going to the restaurant, if there is no poem, Wang Ruoyan must think that Jiang Ning is a person who does not learn and does not know, where is the reader?
Before meeting the shopkeeper from Jinzhou for the first time, Wang Ruoyan also specially instructed a few words, if he didn't like such a business occasion, he would let the crescent moon call him, saying that he had something to leave.
But later I realized how redundant it was to do this, Jiang Ning's calmness in the meeting was something she had never seen before, and after the people left, Jiang Ning returned to her previous state, which made Wang Ruoyan cry and laugh, but isn't this exactly what she wants?
It rained last night, and her seventh uncle and cousin lived directly in the south of the city, and there was already a curfew, and they wanted to wait for the next day to clear before going home, but the rain couldn't stop for a while, so they set off early in the morning and came to Wang's house.
Fortunately, I didn't play cards last night, otherwise no one would have gotten up today.
"My cousin's name is Wang Zihan, she is the only daughter of the seventh uncle, she has been with me since she was a child, and then the seventh uncle was in charge of Jinzhou's business, so he took Zihan's cousin to Jinzhou, and he was already married, I am afraid that the next time I come back, I will take my husband with me." After Wang Ruoyan made arrangements, he stood in front of the door and watched the rain in the courtyard.
"Oh...... You shouldn't have seen each other for a long time......" Jiang Ning nodded: "I don't remember when we got married, she came." ”
Speaking of getting married, Wang Ruoyan is a little embarrassed, although the two have been married for half a year, but they have not had a round house, this is only known to the crescent moon and Xing'er, she also thought that if Jiang Ning is a violent temper, the overlord will take a bow, and he will divorce him, but Jiang Ning is different from what she thinks, the more she gets along, the more she feels that Jiang Ning is indisputably weak, but she is too careful, but in the end, she is only an eighteen-year-old girl, and she has only heard about this kind of thing, and she is still very resistant in her heart, especially with a man who has just met.
At this point, she admired those Qinglou people a little...... Simply admire the strength of the heart.
Wang Ruoyan nodded slightly: "Well, there were just some problems in Jinzhou's business at that time, but fortunately, the problem was not big, but it was too late, so Uncle Seven and Cousin Zihan didn't come, speaking of which, they hadn't seen each other for four or five years." ”
"In this way, it is good to have someone to talk to you and reminisce about the past, the card, you can ...... it a little" Jiang Ning said here, but he regretted it.
"It turns out that Xianggong thought that he was pushing the concubine out......"
"No, no, gambling is not a hobby......"
"Is this also gambling? Isn't it just the casino kind? ”
