It rained in Jiangning for the next few days.
The city gate has not yet opened, and the continuous autumn rain seems to have melted the entire city into it. The pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, but they also have a deep sense of exhaustion and burnout. Before the city gate is opened, there is not much to do, and some simple things on weekdays have to spend more effort than usual at this time. The price of rice and grain is rising day by day, and various disputes are gradually increasing. In such a negative day, everyone is a little tired.
However, if Jiangning's cloth line is separated, the situation at this time is slightly different. A storm is brewing, and every household is carrying out vigorous operations, new preparations, new connections, Prepare to see the wind direction, find the trend, and occupy the position. Wujia, which was the first cloth merchant in Jiangning, won the position of the royal merchant this year, indicating that it may prepare for expansion in the future. Of course, it may be difficult to make a big move in a few months. There will be a huge responsibility after the next, and now the Wu family has to make some adjustments to the problem of the royal merchant's old cloth, but as long as it stabilizes, it will definitely start to make big strides.
In contrast, the Su family began to shake. After the night of the royal business, Su Tan'er finally began to show up, preparing to actively stabilize the turmoil that the Su family would face, and to find all previous partners to try to stabilize the relationship. . The Su family also has some background, and the answers they have received so far are still good, but under the surface, it is difficult to know how many people have begun to retreat, and how many people have secretly made contact with other businesses.
The Xue family can do nothing about these things, they can only wait quietly, lay out quietly, accumulate strength, and in certain situations to come, more of the market share that may be released by the Su family. In the past, they were the ones who had prepared the most for the Su family. At this time, they might not be able to seize the opportunity to gain even greater benefits.
These things haven't really taken shape yet, but they have already begun to corrode the entire structure as quickly as termites appear. After a month or two, the whole situation may really collapse. The Wu family is heading to a new peak, while the Su family Retire from the position of the three major cloth dealers in Jiangning, return to the scale of medium-sized cloth dealers, and then... In the eyes of discerning people, it may further begin to weaken.
In a sense, the internal turmoil in the Su family had already begun.
In the courtyard of the Su family today, the words about the royal merchants that night spread. The first room, the second room, and the third room have begun to draw the line really clearly, and the voices in and out of the room began to talk about Ning Yi's incompetence and Su Tan'er's incompetence. Of course, over the past few days, Su Tan'er is still running around, too busy to pay attention to this group of people at home, and those people haven't had the courage to say something directly to Su Tan'er for the time being. But within the Su family, all kinds of calls to stop letting Su Tan'er take charge of business affairs have already sounded, and there are daily quarrels.
Not only the unsatisfactory children of the second and third bedrooms, but also such remarks began to appear in the mouths of some old people of the Su family. The strength that Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang had accumulated over the years finally began to be released, ready to deal a fatal blow to the big room after Su Boyong fell. Under the circumstances of the Su family's internal and external worries, these things, even the old lady Su, could no longer be suppressed by high-pressure methods.
It may take some time for these things to come to a conclusion, but in the eyes of most people, it may be an inevitable trend for Su Tan'er to quit the business stage of the Su family soon, no matter how hard she works at this time. To maintain, to stop, some things are really defeated, and she herself is a woman, in such a crisis state, it is even more difficult to give people a sense of stability - many people may admit that Su Taner's business skills, even if this It may be possible to recover after this failure, but it is difficult for them to believe that the Su family will continue to let her take the helm.
During this period, there were probably the most criticisms against Ning Yi. Although it was not brought up to the stage to tell him what to do, in private, even many people who were close to the big house did not say much. Well, some people even started to say that this scholar is not worthy of Second Miss. After that night, Su Tan'er completely took over the position that originally belonged to her, and Ning Yi had nothing to do. These days, he returned to the time when he had nothing to do. It was raining outside and the private school was not open, so he stayed at home. Look at writing and writing, and occasionally play with a small cylinder, but I can't see any difference from the past.
However, although the city gate was not open, so the private school was still closed, but in the Su Family Academy, several people had begun to find Su Chonghua, the head of the Yushan Academy, and asked to send their children to other classes. The children of these people were originally students taught by Ning Yi. At this time, their parents had probably decided to be close to the second and third rooms, so they no longer wanted their children to be taught by Ning Yi. In the Su family, matters related to the private school have always been the place where the old lady attaches the most importance and has the strictest control. The development of the team's activities here obviously means that this time is not a child's play. These things have also been within a few days. It spread widely in Su Mansion.
It's approaching September, and the weather has cleared up again. It is said that the city gate may also be opened in these days. The tense atmosphere in the city seems to have weakened slightly, but in the Su family's house, the atmosphere is deepening every day. Under the courtyard corridor, two maids walked over with some things, whispering as they walked.
"After messing up such a big thing, that uncle can still be like nothing..."
"It's still the first talent, it's useless at all..."
"Second miss was also implicated by him..."
"The Su family doesn't know what will happen..."
In such an atmosphere, it has become normal for the maids who passed by occasionally to talk like this, but the two maids today seem to be a little unlucky. Waiting there: "You two, go over there to help, they move the yard next door, and there are not enough people."
"Juan, sister Juan'er..."
"Didn't you hear me? Everyone is working, why don't you hurry up?"
"But... Fourth Miss called us... "
"The fourth lady is not in a hurry, I will call someone else... go!"
"Yes… "
The two maids were hesitant, but they finally left in a hurry.
Juan'er frowned and walked forward quickly, and after a while, she heard people talking about Ning Yi at the gate of a courtyard, and naturally it was not a good thing. This time, she pursed her lips, and finally didn't go in again. Everyone was saying that these things were not in her control after all. She just lowered her head and walked quickly to the yard. At this time, in the small courtyard, Chan'er was sweeping the floor with a broom. Juan'er walked over and looked at Ning Yi's room, and then looked upstairs: "Little Chan, where's Uncle?"
"Uh, let's go out." Xiaochan hugged her broom. "In the morning, it's finally sunny. Go out for a walk. Juan'er has something to do with Uncle?"
"Just now passing by the door, the couple from the Zhou family came to look for the uncle."
"Well, Ke Juan'er, your face is not very good."
"I just met a few people who don't understand anything..."
Juan'er coldly said the words she heard just now, Chan'er pursed her lips, her face became a little bad, everyone has heard a lot of these words in the past few days, even if you stand up and scold it, it is useless . Some other things, things they know, can't be said at all.
"Uncle is really wronged..." Juan'er said with a frown. She was usually quiet, but at this time, she felt really sad for Ning Yi.
"Sister Xing'er also scolded people yesterday..." Chan'er said, "But the uncle seems to be quite laid back. Yesterday I asked the uncle whether he was angry. The uncle was playing with the telescope or something, and just shook his head casually. , didn't say anything."
Chan'er imitated the way Ning Yi shook her head at will, but it's hard to say whether it looks like it or not. In fact, she also cared about it. Juan'er spoke to her again and hurried out to reply to the two brothers and sisters of the Zhou family.
After Juaner left, Xiaochan held the broom and looked at Ning Yi's room for a while, bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Uncle...", then took the broom and swept the floor vigorously.
At this time in the morning, Ning Yi and Nie Yunzhu met in the small building.
He went to the small laboratory next to the academy to get some things, and then came here to hang out, but he didn't expect Nie Yunzhu to be at home. After August 25th, this was the first time the two met.
Seeing him suddenly at the door, Nie Yunzhu's expression was obviously relieved. The two of them didn't say hello too much. Ning Yi just held a small bag and waved casually, while Nie Yunzhu stood on the steps with a smile. Afterwards, it looked like he was welcoming a tired husband back. home wife.
"how are things?"
"The store is fine, Jin'er is over there, so rest." Nie Yunzhu tilted his head and let Ning Yi go in, "How about you?"
"Alright, it's raining these few days, so I can't get out. When the weather is fine, I'll go out for a walk."
"That's good." The people on the other side of the living room are open, leading directly to the terrace that stretches out over the river. The autumn sun shines there, and a tree with a crooked neck grows against the small building. At this time, it is on the terrace. cast shade. Nie Yunzhu thought for a while: "Actually... I heard about the past few days."
"Oh." Ning Yi glanced at her, then shook his head with a smile, "Uh... things are definitely not as terrifying as rumored outside, but it's been a bit noisy in recent days... "
"Why don't I play some tunes for Li Heng to listen to, please be patient?"
"Will it be troublesome, you finally have a day off..."
"It's alright." Nie Yunzhu smiled, and then lowered his eyes, "I... I'll know this too... "
The terrace is facing the river. At first glance, the surrounding scenery is pleasant. There is not much shade from the slanted neck tree. After all, most of the terraces are still in the lazy sunshine. Ning Yi took a cushion and sat down at random by the terrace. When Nie Yunzhu came over with a tea tray, he saw that he was sitting on the terrace floor, with his back against the wall, with one leg bent and looking at the outline of the distant scene, he couldn't help laughing. Smile, put the plate down.
"I'm going to get the piano."
She said something softly, and Ning Yi looked at her and nodded.
After a while, the piano sounded...
************************
Unconsciously, fell asleep.
The warm feeling is like floating in the water, and the mother's hand gently brushes from the body... Nie Yunzhu doesn't know what kind of qin music he is playing. At this time, he was still immersed in it, and Nie Yunzhu occasionally hummed a few lines of music, all kinds of trivial sentences like a little woman whispering. Occasionally look over there, the light of autumn shines down, like gold powder falling on her body, the robe is like snow, the blue silk moves slightly, the woman's expression is focused, but when he looks over, he is also playing the piano in the gap Give him a gentle smile.
She had changed clothes when she came in... When she realized this, Ning Yi had gradually fallen asleep. The shade of willows on the opposite bank is like a screen, the autumn wind blows, the river flows from the river under the terrace, the leaves on the terrace rustle, and occasionally a leaf falls. Sing softly, softly and ethereally.
The music stopped just now, and the woman sat there for a long time without moving, looking at the sleeping posture of the man not far away. In the past few years, this is the first time she has been playing for such a long time. In the past, even if she was interested and entertained herself, it would not have reached the level she is now, but in those days, even if it was earlier in the brothel. During the time, her performance was more for herself. Not long ago, in Yancuilou, her performance was determined to win or lose, but the actual playing elements were rather shallow. Only at this time, she was here to concentrate on playing for others. For a long time, let him play. Go to sleep, hoping that he will feel comfortable and quiet, and be comforted.
The wind was blowing on the river, she pushed aside the guqin and stood up, followed by the slight footsteps, she quietly packed up the teapot, cups and snacks, afraid that Ning Yi would fall asleep and fall back down, and then in this autumn light Sitting next to him, he quietly looked at the sleeping face.
I don't know when, the wind seemed to be a little stronger, she went to the room, and soon came out with a thin blanket, and when she squatted beside the man, the woman hesitated a little, not knowing what would happen if she put the blanket on it. It won't wake him up, and this blanket belongs to her and Jin'er, and it has an aura that is exclusively for women. During this moment of hesitation, Ning Yi's eyelids moved a few times, and then he woke up hazy, rubbed his eyes, put his hands on the floor, and stood up.
The woman in the white dress and the white dress hugged the blanket and stood up involuntarily, hesitating slightly, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Well, sorry, don't know what happened, fell asleep... You must be playing too well."
Ning Yi still smiled confusedly, but Nie Yunzhu didn't answer. Turning her head, the white Li Ying took a step forward, stood on tiptoes wearing white socks, raised her head, and pressed her lips to his.
Soft, warm, slightly trembling and jerky touch, the autumn scenery is lost among the wooden buildings in this river bay. Watching this scene silently...
