The sedan chair came from the gray fog, and the song and dance of the warbler and the laughter and joy also came from the gray fog.

The cold wind blew the sedan curtain, and Ning Chang's eyes did not move away, that face was very immature, looking like she was only seven or eight years old, but at such a young age, she wore light makeup, the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyebrows were dotted with three-point patterns, like a delicate spring stamen.

The sedan curtain fell quickly, and Ning Chang looked at the back of the sedan chair in the distance and frowned.

That was Ning Xiaoling.

The nobility between her eyebrows is not Ning Xiaoling, the delicate makeup on her cheeks is not Ning Xiaoling, and the gorgeous clothes embroidered with phoenixes are not Ning Xiaoling.

But he confirmed that it was Ning Xiaoling.

He followed.

The sedan chair drove to another large mansion, which seemed to be a luxurious courtyard, the courtyard wall was neither high nor short, and the wooden sign on the door was written with the words "Splendid Cave Sky", the sedan chair drove for a long time, and then stopped at the door, and the girl in a luxurious dress fell to the ground with the help of the maid, she rubbed her cheeks, and walked into the garden.

Ning Chang's body rose slightly, and he silently crossed the courtyard wall, his eyes attached to the little girl's body.

Ning Xiaoling walked in the garden, the small tips of her shoes under the skirt were exposed from time to time, and the footprints were evenly distributed in the snow, like a kitten stepping on them dexterously.

To his surprise, the garden was not shrouded in gray mist, but there were slender bamboos, piles of snow and green pines, wooden pavilions with bird's wings in the distance, and lotus leaf-shaped stone steps on the pond.

Ning Xiaoling walked leisurely in this garden, her eyes sometimes fell on the snow-pressed plum on the branches, and sometimes fell on the Daiwa on the red pavilion, she seemed to be familiar with everything here, and there was no intention of being born.

At last she came to an old well and looked down.

In winter, only the well water did not freeze, she leaned over and patted her cheek gently, as if she was looking in the mirror, and the maid next to her saw this scene and hurriedly pulled her away, as if she was afraid that the little girl would lose her footing.

Everything seemed quiet and ordinary.

She walked around the garden for a while, and then took a sedan chair to a nearby temple, burned incense and worshipped, the little girl seemed to be a frequent visitor to the temple, seeing her coming, the monks in the temple were happy, a monk with a slightly fat body greeted him, smiled and said something, the little girl nodded lightly, and the maid next to her opened the purse with resentment.

Ning Xiaoling took out a stick from the monk's holder, and Ning Chang's eyes fell on the stick, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Someone who lives with the sky?"

How could such a sentence be written on the temple's signature?

The little girl sent the sign back.

He followed him into the temple, pretended to be a pilgrim, and bowed quietly.

Then Ning Xiaoling went out of the hall, he straightened his clothes, and followed gently.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the sedan chair went around and around, and returned to the narrow alley, and the little black and small girl I saw before got up from the ground and walked towards the well with a bucket again.

Ning Xiaoling stepped down from the sedan chair, she seemed to have known the little girl from a poor background for a long time, she felt something out of her sleeve and stuffed it for the little girl, and the maid next to her frowned and dissuaded.

The little girl looked at the girl, who was slightly older than herself, and for some reason suddenly burst into tears, and turned around with the empty bucket and ran back in the direction of home.

Ning Xiaoling looked at the back of the girl in the old jacket leaving, sighed softly, and put the broken silver that she originally wanted to give away back into her purse.

She turned her head and looked behind her, Ning Chang's heart moved, knowing that she had seen herself.

At this time, Ning Xiaoling had a semi-circular hanging hair combed on her forehead, and the green silk on the back of her head was only tied with a red rope, which looked very well-behaved and cute.

She smiled introvertedly, blessed her body slightly, and asked the young man in a white shirt in a childish voice: "Who is this son? Why did you follow me since I left the house, you followed me when I went to the Splendid Garden, you also followed me when I went to the temple to worship the Buddha, and now I still follow me, I don't look like a bad person, what is this going to do?"

Ning Chang asked, "What's your name?"

Ning Xiaoling puffed up and said, "You son is rude, how can you ask someone's name as soon as you come up?"

The two maids next to him greeted him lightly and reprimanded: "Which scholar are you, what are you looking for our young lady?"

Ning Changchang said calmly: "It's none of your business. ”

The maid immediately looked angry: "Where did you come from, miss, don't pay attention to such a person, let the master know that he will be angry." ”

As she spoke, she immediately covered Ning Xiaoling's eyes with her hand, and Ning Xiaoling turned around obediently and entered the sedan chair.

Ning Chang looked at the delicate and graceful word "Ning" behind the sedan curtain and frowned.

This time, instead of following, he followed the footprints of the little girl on the ground.

As a result, the sedan chair followed.

"Hey, you wait. Ning Xiaoling stepped down from the sedan chair and asked, "Where are you going?"

Ning Changjiu said calmly: "I originally thought that I was looking for you, but now it seems that it is not. ”

Ning Xiaoling said curiously, "What did you say?"

Ning Changchang said: "I'm not sure who you are yet, but you must not be Ning Xiaoling." ”

Ning Xiaoling's cheeks puffed slightly, and she said angrily: "You look a lot older than me, but Mr. also said that people who rely on the old and sell the old are the most hateful, my father and mother who gave birth to me and raised me, they say that I am who I am, and you don't count." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "Then take me to meet my father?"

Ning Xiaoling suddenly said: "Oh, I understand, you must be the scholar who fell behind and rushed to take the exam, and you want to slap my father, so you have been following me, there are many poor scholars who want to see my father over the years, but my father's vision is extremely high, and ordinary poetry is really not eye-catching." Do you have any poems that you should read and listen to?"

Ning thought for a long time and said, "There really is a sentence." ”

Ning Xiaoling asked, "What?"

Ning Chang said: "The Immortal Immortal Mansion, the same longevity Taoist family as others." ”

Ning Xiaoling's face changed slightly, and she said angrily: "This is a sentence in the book, although I am a woman, I have also gone to a private school, you don't want to bluff me." ”

Ning Chang looked at her immature and delicate little face, and suddenly felt pity in his heart, and asked, "Anyway, the time hasn't come yet, do you want to walk around the city together?"

Ning Xiaoling frowned, shook her head, and said, "Is there any place in this city that can compare to my home?"

Ning Chang said: "It's just a casual walk, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter." ”

Ning Xiaoling should have refused, but she was silent for a while, and then said unprecedentedly: "It's okay, this girl wants to see what tricks you want to play?"

The maids next to her were shocked when they heard this, and they all dissuaded her, Ning Xiaoling rubbed her ears, looked at Ning Changjiu, and asked, "Can the two sisters go together?"

Ning Chang nodded and said, "It's up to you." ”

So the sedan chair was carried back to the mansion by the person who carried the sedan chair, Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling walked in front, what are you talking about one by one, and the two maids followed behind, with a worried face.

Ning Xiaoling said: "Brother Gongzi, do you know me?"

Ning Chang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Ning Xiaoling pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Also, who in this city doesn't know me?"

Ning Changchang asked, "Are you famous here?"

Ning Xiaoling glanced at him with some surprise: "I'm the little lady of the Ning family, who doesn't know me?"

Ning Changchang smiled slightly: "Ning has just arrived, please ask Miss Ning to take me to the city for a walk." ”

Ning Xiaoling snorted lightly, glanced at him with distrust, and said, "You are also surnamed Ning? ”

As she spoke, she took small steps and walked in the snow in front of her.

Ning Xiaoling wrapped her hands around her chest, her somewhat long skirt gently swept the snow, the long hair behind her head was delicate and soft, and the small and delicate knots of her hair swayed gently with her steps.

The little girl slowly stopped, dusted off the snow on her shoulders, she looked at the Dianzhi Xiaolou in front of her, and introduced: "This is Yaji, drinking tea on the first floor and reading on the second floor, Mr. often takes me here, go up and see?"

Ning Chang glanced at the second floor and shook his head lightly: "No need, there is no Yaxing today." ”

Ning Xiaoling teased: "I originally thought you were a nerd, but now it seems that you are not even a scholar." ”

Ning Changchang smiled and did not answer.

Didn't go too far, a courtyard gate seemed to appear in the field of vision, the courtyard gate was old and upright, the plaque had the four words of "article god", the dark brown pillar next to the courtyard gate was old, full of water-stained old dark color.

Ning Xiaoling glanced at it and said, "This is where I read." ”

Ning Changjiu nodded lightly: "The strokes of the two words in the article are correct and meticulous, and the word 'god' is fresh and handsome, which is particularly wonderful, and it is a good place." ”

When Ning Xiaoling heard this, she was a little satisfied, and nodded lightly: "That's natural." ”

Seeing that Ning Changjiu had no intention of going in, she took him and continued to walk forward.

Bypassing the two crooked streets, in the cold snow, there was a song suddenly floating, clear and misty, each timbre seemed to be attached to the snowflakes, falling one after another, the song fit the sound of the xylophone, the slightest bit into the buckle, vaguely you can imagine the appearance of the dark plum blossom coke tail piano, the slender white jade finger Su Su hook playing.

Ning Xiaoling also slowed down, and when she looked at the position of the song, she could see a high-rise building with exquisite lights on all sides, and there was a phantom of a woman's ups and downs.

Under the tall building, a few spring tree stamens are half-wilted, standing in the snow, but they seem lonely and lonely.

"Rouge Xuan,

Splendid Garden,

The pear trees are full of snow and peach blossoms.

Look at the lantern feast in the small building tonight,

It's all good days.

green silk silk,

Make-up change,

Cut the smoke around the elbow bend.

Why envy the feather coat?

I'm in the immortal class.

lotus crown,

white hosta,

Jinse Yanhua does not need to be counted.

When the child is hanging,

Go to Baiyun Temple again ......"

......

"When the child is waiting for the sky, the sky hangs the jade toad, and then go up to the Baiyun ......Temple" Ning Changjiu murmured softly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes moved up slowly, but only the stratus clouds drifted in the snow, and Chanjuan was not seen, he asked: "What is the name of this poem?"

Ning Xiaoling waited for the sound of the piano to become thinner before he replied: "A guest in the world, according to legend, is a merry boy who was drunk and slept in the song building for seven days, and finally woke up and opened his mouth, and everyone knew that it was a woman. ”

Ning Chang nodded and said, "It's not a guest here, I will wake up sooner or later." ”

Ning Xiaoling was unmoved, and said to herself: "This is Shuiyue Rouge Building, the favorite place for those scholars and scholars, and an Oiran named Shiyan is particularly famous, it is said that she was born with a fragrant country, and the song just now should be played by her skillful hand, but ordinary people can't see it, why don't Miss Ben take you to see the world?"

Ning Changjiu's voice was very soft, as if he didn't want to interrupt the long-lasting sound of the qin, "No need, listening to the lyrics of the qin song is better than seeing people, so be it, I'm a little hungry." ”

Ning Xiaoling stroked her lower abdomen and blurted out: "I'll take you to eat tofu noodles and spring rolls, and you'll be full." ”

Ning Chang looked at her quietly, with a slight smile on his face.

Ning Xiaoling was slightly stunned, as if she realized that she had said something wrong, and immediately said: "I'm tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, what's wrong with tasting some clear soup and noodles, the master often says......"

"Alright. Ning Changjiu rubbed her head, interrupted her words, and said, "Let's go, little young lady will take me to eat tofu noodles and spring rolls." ”

Ning Xiaoling secretly rolled her eyes.

The two of them sat down, and soon, two bowls of steaming noodle soup were served, and tofu was mixed in the noodles, and there was very light oil and water and a few green onions floating on top.

Ning Xiaoling picked up the chopsticks and gently stirred the noodle soup, the hot white gas smoked onto her face, and the elegant makeup seemed to melt slightly.

Ning Xiaoling suddenly lowered her voice and said, "The boss here is very good, every time I come, I will bury half an egg under the noodles." ”

As she spoke, she forked out the half of the egg with her chopsticks, showed it off, looked around again, dipped it into the soup again, and ate it in small bites.

Ning Changjiu tasted it, the tofu was a little bland, and the soup was a little salty, he remembered the food cooked by the senior sister in his memory and the face of the second senior brother who had a bitter face, and couldn't help laughing.

Ning Xiaoling saw him smiling happily, she was a little unhappy, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ning Changchang smiled and said, "Little Miss is really a good person. ”

Ning Xiaoling looked at him for a while and said, "This is something that the ten-mile neighborhood knows, and now there is another foreigner for you." ”

Ning Changjiu was curious: "How do you know that I am from a foreign country?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "Your clothes are not like here, this place is now under the management of Rongguo, since the officials there took over, my father said that the customs are very different from a few years ago." ”

Ning Chang snorted: "That's it." ”

Ning Xiaoling put the half egg in his mouth, took a bite, and stuffed it back into the soup, and said in a slightly vague voice: "You foreigner, it's really strange." ”

Ning Changjiu just smiled, and after a while, he drank the last sip of soup and said with a gentle expression: "Thank you little lady for your hospitality." ”

Ning Xiaoling ate faster than him, and the soup was a little salty, but she drank it all.

Ning Changjiu stretched out his hand to take the spring roll, but Ning Xiaoling pressed his fingers with the other end of the chopsticks, shook his head and said, "This is not for you." The two maids I was with me were still hungry. ”

Ning Chang looked to the side and sighed softly: "But they seem to be gone." ”

Ning Xiaoling was startled, and looked to the side, the two maids were really gone, she frowned, and said angrily: "When I go back, I will definitely let my father punish them severely!"

Ning Changjiu said softly: "Xiaoling......"

"Huh?" she was a little unaccustomed to being called that, she looked at him and waited for him to continue, but Ning Changjiu just looked at her quietly and didn't say anything.

Ning Xiaoling felt that something was wrong, she glanced at her clothes, and suddenly screamed.

The brocade dress with colorful phoenixes was gone, replaced by an old jacket, the makeup on her face seemed to be dissolved by the water, becoming immature and simple, and on the white and tender fingers, there were faint traces of chapping in the winter cold, she got up in a hurry, staggered back, touched the long wooden chair, and fell to the ground.

Ning Chang got up and walked towards her.

Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened, she looked at him with a look of horror, and said sharply: "What kind of illusion did you demon try, quickly turn me back...... Don't come here, I'm going to report to the official......"

As she spoke, she looked around, and the diners around her were also looking at him, their expressions all different, as if they were indifferent or compassionate.

"Who the hell are you?I'll take you around here, and I'll entertain you with delicious food and drink, why are you such a white-eyed wolf?I knew I should listen to my father......" Ning Xiaoling rubbed his eyes, and the mist was misty: "You quickly change me back!"

Ning Changjiu took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and put them on the corner of the table, then walked to the girl's side, squatted down, and looked at her level, Ning Xiaoling waved his fist at him indiscriminately, hitting her clothes.

"Don't make a fuss. Ning Changjiu suddenly grabbed her wrist and said in a calm tone: "Little junior sister, I'll take you home." ”
