Although after knowing Ning Yi's identity that day, Nie Yunzhu thought about it. Without the connection of repayment of gratitude, the two people who only exchanged names in this huge Jiangning city may not be able to see each other. However, after a few days Later, I realized that this idea is not necessarily accurate.
When she woke up that morning, she heard the faint sound of running footsteps on the road outside the house. When she opened the window, she saw Ning Yi's figure running past her field of vision. She only remembered this time, even if she didn't cause him to fall. For those things that went to the river, this Young Master Ning would also run up and down this road every morning.
In the years of emphasising literature and neglecting martial arts, especially among literati, there were not many people who could exercise like this. When I first saw him, I thought that he was being chased by others, but it was confirmed later that this young master Ning, who was different in every way, was indeed. In the morning forging, and the mileage of running these days seems to be increasing, I am a little puzzled, but more admire.
After all, it was early in the morning. Of course, it was impossible to see the other party running by every day, but naturally, the number of times was relatively high. Nie Yunzhu was thinking about whether he should go out to greet the other party. Later, he felt that he was being hypocritical. What I have seen and seen in the past are all people who have intentions in their hearts, and I am afraid to see them. Now this Young Master Ning not only saved himself, but also saw clearly that day that he had no intentions of himself, and some exchanges should have been natural. Come to think of it, I think too much.
She laughed and scolded herself a few words in her heart. When she saw the other party running by again this morning, she came out to say hello naturally. Who knew that the other party just waved and ran away without stopping. She was stunned for a while, and the maid Hu Tao, who had recovered from her condition, came out: "Who is that? Do you know me, miss?" Then she pouted, "How rude..." Nie Yunzhu had already laughed softly.
Oh, a gentleman's friend, a gentleman's friend, can this attitude be regarded as treating oneself as a friend...
Cold dew, frost. After the beginning of winter, under the systematic exercise that has increased the intensity, coupled with the accumulation of the previous few months, the physical fitness can be regarded as a preliminary improvement. There is nothing to see on the outside, but at least it can be regarded as the healthy body of an ordinary person. .
In these years, scholars only focus on reading, and their food and nutrition can not keep up. Most people's health is worse than that of modern otaku. Although there are also archery and the like in the six arts of the gentleman, this is basically just a slogan in the six arts. The slogans of "all-round development of quality education of morality, intelligence, physical beauty and labor" are the same. Ning Yi's body used to be of this quality. After 20 years of frailty, it took half a year to recover, which is already quite good.
Every morning when I ran over from the Qinhuai River, I would occasionally say hello to that Nie Yunzhu, and it was just a nodding acquaintance. Although she used to be clumsy in things like killing chickens and falling into the river, but after seeing it a few times, you can see that she is not a natural dumb-in fact, it can be seen from the conversation that went along the way after buying charcoal. . Her dress has always been simple, but she is very beautiful, and her figure is beautiful and tall. Occasionally, I met him at the door and waved and said with a smile, Young Master Ning; sometimes I saw her in the kitchen on the side of the small building, with the kitchen window open towards the street, and she was either lighting a fire or cutting a knife in the kitchen. Cai, raised her head and showed a smile; occasionally, she could be seen carrying a wooden basin to the terrace near the river to pour water, and seeing Ning Yi running towards this side, she waved her hand to say hello. Rolling up her dress, the morning sun shines from the horizon behind her, as does Luoshen Lingbo.
A maid lives in this building with her. She is not very beautiful, and her stature is short. Ning Yi can probably guess that this maid was sick some time ago.
In October, I had a simple conversation with that Nie Yunzhu. I didn’t drink water when I went out that morning, and I increased my running route. When I returned, I was sweating, panting, and my throat was thirsty, so I stopped to ask her for help. He drank a glass of water and said a few words. When he returned the next day, Nie Yunzhu was there again, but it was not good to run over directly, stop and rest for a while, and after that, it gradually became a habit.
"Young Master Ning is really weird, isn't he tired of running for such a long time every day?"
"It only works when you're tired. What's so weird about running?"
"Yunzhu was in the Golden Wind Tower in the early years... I have seen many literati, but I have never seen Ning Gongzi..." When she said this, she looked at Ning Yi, but Ning Yi had already guessed Now that she has had such an experience, it's a little strange just to be so frank with her, but she doesn't show too much surprise. After a while, Nie Yunzhu wondered, "Could it be that your son wants to join the military?"
"Oh, with this body, how can you get on the battlefield. It's just useless. You're a scholar, and it's always good to exercise."
"Bai Wuyi is a scholar... If other people hear this, I'm afraid it will add some criticism to the son."
I stayed here for a short time every day, and I only talked about a few things, but as time passed, the identity of the other party gradually became clear. I worked in the brothel for a few years, and then redeemed myself and the maid, and bought this beautiful looking Linhe small building. Due to the limited understanding of ordinary people's life, I also put a lot of oolongs and so on.
Nie Yunzhu may think his personality is weird, but in Ning Yi's opinion, the other party's temperament is actually a bit weird. It is estimated that she was also a child of an official family when she was a child, and then was sold to a brothel. After redeeming herself, she was unwilling to take this road again. There should be some stubbornness in this woman's character. One day at the end of October, Ning Yi and Xiaochan saw her from a distance when they passed the vegetable market in Dongji.
At that time, the crowd in the market was crowded. Ning Yi and Xiaochan went up to the restaurant. When they looked at it from a distance, Nie Yunzhu and the maid, Walnut, were both there, but they were separated by several meters from the crowd, as if they were coming to buy vegetables. It was like someone he knew from a hawker in the market, Nie Yunzhu was still dressed in plain clothes, with a somewhat ugly headscarf wrapped around his head. She was squatting behind a small vendor who sold chickens and helped slaughter them. She grabbed a hen in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. She slit the hen's throat and bleeds blood into a bowl on the ground. She probably felt sick, her head shrank far back, but she didn't let go of her hands at all. After the blood was drained, she threw the hen into the pot with hot water next to her, and stood up satisfied. , and then, he seemed to have glanced at Ning Yi's side, but he probably swept over by accident, and he didn't know if he saw him.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Noticing that Ning Yi was standing by the stairs and looking towards the market, Xiaochan asked suspiciously. Ning Yi shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go in." He turned around with a smile.
It is rare for everyone to eat chicken once these days. Even if you buy it, you basically take it back and raise it for a few days before killing it. After you sell it, you will kill this kind of business for others. It is estimated that it is only in the market in a big city like Jiangning. You may see that the stall owner has to be more ingenious.
The next day, sitting on the steps of the small building by the river to rest, Nie Yunzhu asked, "Young Master saw your concubine in Dongji yesterday?"
"Well, why are you running there to kill chickens?"
"Er Niu and Hu Tao who live in Zhao's house over there are in love with each other." Nie Yunzhu smiled and pointed to a house in the distance, "His family sells vegetables in Dongji, and I went with Hu Tao, so we got to know each other. Some people in the market, when they went shopping yesterday, Aunt Liu, who sold chickens, was too busy, so I went over and said, 'Let me help.' Then I actually killed the chickens..."
She laughed happily for this, Ning Yi was stunned for a while, then smiled and shook his head: "Why is this?"
This Nie Yunzhu was originally in a brothel, and he could redeem himself at such an age. It can be seen that those days must have been highly sought after. These women do not touch the spring water, and in many respects, they are more popular than the ladies. Girl, after the redemption to the present, even though life seems to be a bit bumpy, it is still much better than an ordinary family. It's not a big deal if you don't know how to kill chickens. , actually had to learn this.
"I'm always happy to be able to learn more." Nie Yunzhu looked into the distance and said with a smile. After a while, he looked at Ning Yi again, "By the way, will Young Master Ning also stop here tomorrow?"
It has become a habit to take a break here. I didn't need to say it. Since she brought it up, it is natural that she has something to do. Ning Yi asked, "What's the matter?" Nie Yunzhu smiled and shook his head: "I will know when I come tomorrow."
When Ning Yi came over the next day, Nie Yunzhu brought a bowl out of the house. There were a few pancakes in the bowl, which had just been fried.
"Young master hasn't had breakfast yet. Maybe you can bring these pancakes to taste."
Ning Yi usually went to eat breakfast after running and rested enough. At this time, he looked at her suspiciously, sat on the steps to rest for a while, but ate directly: "What's the matter?"
Seeing him like this, Nie Yunzhu smiled happily and sat down beside him, "How does Ning Gongzi feel?"
"Not bad." Ning Yi nodded.
"Then... Young Master thinks that if you take it out and sell it..."
"Well, you're going to sell pancakes..."
Nie Yunzhu smiled and said, "Except for the original Israeli entertainment or the Nana handkerchief insoles, I and Hu Tao made them look no worse than others, and this is the only one. After learning some, I can make several flavors, and I should still be able to eat... So we plan to get a small cart and sell some tea by the way... "
For things like doing business, Ning Yi has no interest at all. Of course, Nie Yunzhu didn't actually ask him for his opinion. This woman has a tough personality, looks beautiful and weak, but is actually very assertive. After leaving the brothel, she cut off all contact with all the former benefactors and realized that ordinary life Maybe she needed to kill chickens in the middle of the day, and she had to hold back her nausea and learned this kind of thing that she could not avoid before, but now she wants to do this kind of thing that doesn't seem to fit her temperament, but it makes Ning Yi find it interesting.
At the beginning of November, in the courtyard of Su's house, Ning Yi moved the room. He and Su Tan'er moved from upstairs to downstairs, which had already started to become cold. At this time, the chill of winter was already deep, and everyone was at Su Tan'er at night. There was a gathering in the living room over there, and there was a charcoal fire in the room, which was warm. Ning Yi's contact with Su Tan'er has also become more frequent...
