After all, the amount of water in the tub is not enough to drown a person. Even if you panic for a while, the amount of water in your mouth is limited. After a little panic, Su Tan'er finally came to her senses, her shyness and trying to distance herself prevailed. Ning Yi patted the water stains on his body and got up and went out. Su Tan'er sat on the wooden chair inside, wrapped in a bath towel and bit his lips.
"Xiang Gong... how could Xiang Gong... be here... "
Halfway through the question, his voice actually dropped. Ning Yi replied from outside the curtain, "I'm going to take a shower, and then... how about you?"
"I... I asked Juan'er to help me boil the water... "
Ning Yi was stunned for a while.
"When I came back, there was no one else in the yard. Juan'er went out... uh, you were sleeping, when did you tell her... "
In the bathroom, Su Tan'er had actually reacted. She cried and showed an embarrassed expression on her face. After a long time, she answered in a soft voice: "... Noon... What time is it now?"
Looking at the sky outside, I'm afraid it's already time for the application. After waiting for a long time for Ning Yi's answer, he just smiled and said, "Oh, you should wash it first, it's all wet anyway, I'll... change clothes. It's fine. "
Just now, he took Su Tan'er out of the tub, and the robe on his body was already wet with water. Ning Yi looked at the condition of his body and turned to go out. Before he reached the door, a somewhat embarrassing voice came from inside. : "Xiang, Xianggong... etc..."
"Um?"
"The water... a little cold."
Change out of your robe, then quickly go to the small kitchen to make a fire and boil water. Ning Yi's current physique is good. Even if he washes all cold water in this weather, it is not a big problem. He just feels that in such a room, the tub is full of cold water, which is not suitable for the atmosphere, but there is not much hot water just now. Su Tan'er washing is definitely not enough.
In the quiet courtyard in the afternoon, autumn leaves were rustling, Ning Yi was boiling water, and talking to Su Taner over there about the academy, the closing of the academy, Li Pin was leaving, and the lunch at noon.
"...Second uncle said that they are all a family, no matter what the big house, the second bedroom and the third bedroom, they are all lively watching by outsiders. His sons are ignorant, and this family will be the best for you in the future, so I have seen it recently. You are too tired, let me tell you to rest more... Oh, by the way, he also said that the business in the world can't be done in a while."
After carrying the hot water, Ning Yi said these words. In the room separated by the wall, Su Tan'er's words with a smile came out: "Do you believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Ning Yi nodded with a smile.
Such an answer probably made Su Tan'er feel rude, and felt a little angry for a while. When she walked into the door outside the bathroom, Ning Yi said, "The business in the world cannot be done in a while. Makes sense."
"That's divided into time-critical and non-time-critical..." Su Tan'er murmured inside, and then said, "I don't care about this sentence, what about the rest, do you believe it?"
“…Be honest.”
Pushing aside the curtains and entering the bathroom, Su Tan'er was wrapping herself tightly on the chair with two bath towels and clothes. She was originally tall and graceful. He has a strange charm. Although he blushed at this time, he looked at Ning Yi: "This is not an answer."
"Being honest... So the second uncle seems to be quite sincere." Ning Yi poured hot water into the tub and reached out to probe.
"Fair and dishonest."
"Those who are dishonest always feel that others are dishonest. As for me, I still believe in Uncle Er."
"shameless."
"It's very hot, the water temperature should be about the same... You have a conflict with your second uncle, you can't slander me like this just because I said your second uncle is sincere..."
Su Tan'er looked at him with a smile, and said, "My husband is shameless and dishonest."
"Well, only women and villains are difficult to support..."
"Xiang Gong is the most slick, shameless and dishonest."
"I don't care about you." He opened the curtain and prepared to go out, when a voice came from behind.
"Not telling the truth, not being honest."
"Okay." Ning Yi sighed, turned around and exited the curtain, only showing a face, he blinked, "I just walked in, it wasn't intentional."
After saying this, Su Tan'er's eyes widened instantly, and her cheeks that were only slightly pink turned red in an instant. She sat there holding her body, trying to say something, but she couldn't say anything. After Ning Yi put down the curtain and went out, Su Tan'er lifted the bath towel and walked down to the ground. The bathroom was originally a structure with a layer of curtains and a layer of wooden doors. When the wooden door was closed, it was impossible to enter. Su Taner thought that Juaner was at home, and did not close the door completely for a while. Only then did he pass, and the latch of the wooden door was fastened.
She was still dressed in a bellyband, silk trousers, and bare feet. At this time, half of her body was already wet with water, and she naturally couldn't dry for a while. Thinking of what the guy might have seen just now, her face turned red again, and she leaned against the door with her arms folded on her chest. He must be smiling outside, thinking so.
The footsteps sounded, and Ning Yi hummed softly and walked across the courtyard outside the bathroom, preparing to burn his own bath water. Su Tan'er pursed her lips: "Xiang Gong is dishonest!"
She shouted in a low voice, and it was estimated that she could hear it outside, but she didn't dare to shout too loudly, and the footsteps outside paused slightly. She sniffed, then smiled and walked over to the tub.
After Su Tan'er finished bathing, it was Ning Yi. By the time she finished the bath, it was already close to evening. Seeing that it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Yi was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the yard, waiting for her hair to dry. Chan'er came over and shook it: "Uncle has a bath?" After chatting for a few days, she went back to her own business.
After a while, Su Tan'er came over with a smile, she simply tied up her long hair and put on a lake green dress, after sitting down, she squinted at the sunset outside the tree gap: "So, Xianggong night Want to go to Yancui Building with Wenxing and the others?"
"Well." Ning Yi nodded, then raised his face and thought for a while, "I don't know who is the popular girl there..."
"The most popular... is called Lu Xia."
"How did you know?"
"I've been there once, and a woman disguised herself as a man." Su Tan'er covered her mouth and laughed, and then said, "Xianggong have fun, after all, Li Gongzi is leaving, so he said goodbye to him on behalf of his concubine. It's all smooth sailing. As for those who are not very honest, don't pay attention to them..."
"Um?"
"Actually, according to the concubine's body, if Xianggong and Li Gongzi go to play together, it is much better than going with Wenxing and others. It's not interesting, but I'm afraid they will spoil my husband's happiness."
Su Tan'er has a strong personality, but she is good to her family. Of course, there are only a few people who can be considered family members by her. During the Chinese New Year, she also took Ning Yi to visit from various households, and there were occasional banquets of this kind on weekdays. At each banquet, she always took care of Ning Yi's existence. Although in a sense it doesn't matter whether Ning Yi needs this kind of care or not, Su Tan'er's "superfluous" behavior is enough to prove that she really manages this marriage as a marriage.
Ning Yi was able to come this far and would not pursue any pure love. For him, the position of Su Tan'er and Su Tan'er in the previous life was somewhat similar. If he was in the same life and was arranged with a spouse, naturally he could only "operate" like this. He used such words, but naturally it didn't disgust him. You can't ask two people to fall in love at first sight and then kiss me or something. In one situation, you can only look at things according to the pattern of one situation.
Su Tan'er's marriage was naturally impossible at first, but since she accepted it and showed enough sincerity, she has given an original stranger enough respect and sincerity. Ning Yi also agrees with this emotion - the other party has already expressed her sincerity very forcefully: If possible, let's live like this.
She didn't have many choices from the beginning. What Ning Yi saw was a 19-year-old woman's wholehearted seriousness and hard work. On the one hand, she takes great care of her business, and on the other hand, she takes great care of her family, which has few choices. This is her sincerity. Ning Yi admired this kind of emotion. He had originally planned to leave if he couldn't survive. Since he could survive, staying there was part of the plan.
Although they used to live such a life under a relatively deliberate "management", now they actually have a good impression of each other, which is actually ideal. At this time, when she said these words, she actually felt that Ning Yi didn't need to perfunctory the second generation ancestors in the family, so Ning Yi also laughed: "It's okay, it won't spoil the fun."
"Since Xianggong and Li Gongzi are going, they will not let Xiaochan follow." Su Tan'er said, and took out a few silver notes from her sleeve, "I am afraid that the silver on Xianggong is not much, here are five Hundred taels, Xianggong holds it, if you like it, you will be more supportive, Xianggong has the name of the first talent, and you can't make a shabby shot."
Speaking of this, she laughed again: "The brothers in the second room and the third room are really not very good. If the family is put into their hands, they will be defeated. The second uncle and the third uncle must know, but now they are only three At the age of 40, like a father, grandchildren have come out and become talents, and they are still in power like grandfathers. So to say no to fight is not sincere. The second uncle and the third uncle fight for themselves, not for the younger generation. , Wen Xing and the others are stupid, they can't be the family, they can only be the father of the family..."
Su Tan'er lowered her head, and her words turned softer: "Xianggong, don't stand on the second uncle's side and talk, okay? Even if it's intentional, the concubine wants to hear Xianggong's bad words about the second and third rooms... I think Xianggong should be on the side of the concubine. I just like to hear Xianggong say that the second uncle and the third uncle are not sincere, and I don't like to hear Xianggong say that the second uncle is sincere, even if it is intentional. "
She raised her head, pursed her lips slightly, smiled and looked at Ning Yi, her smile was slightly pleading, and the setting sun fell on that face. At this moment, Ning Yi felt moved by this careful eye.
True or not, it's really cute...
