"Business is still not good..."
At the intersection where the wind and snow fell, Ning Yi said with a smile while eating the pancake in his hand. Nie Yunzhu, who was next to him, looked at the unsold cakes in the car, pursed his lips slightly, and then clapped his hands helplessly: "It's a heavy snow day, no one will come to buy it."
"I told you a long time ago that you should wait until the beginning of spring to think about this, okay? Now you're at a loss."
"It's hard to think about it. Of course, the things that are decided must be done quickly. If you wait for a few months, I don't know if people will become lazy, and who knows what their thoughts will be."
"Oh, I think you just want to try it out and set up a stall..."
Although Ning Yi never came here after Nie Yunzhu set up a stall, even if it snowed, Ning Yi insisted on exercising every day. Every morning, the two of them would talk for a while on the steps in front of the small building, but now they have become casual with each other. Nie Yun's bamboo cake stand was not doing well, Ning Yi naturally knew that he might comfort him a few days earlier, and he would inevitably make some jokes after a while.
As he said, the reason why Nie Yunzhu set up this stall is not because of the compulsion of life - of course there may be some reasons - but more, it is still just an effort to adapt himself to a more ordinary and ordinary way of life. . The family's financial resources have not reached the dilemma of being really stretched, at least for a while, she is still enjoying it.
"... Yesterday, I saw a few people on the other side of the street fell, and then almost got into a fight, saying what kind of escort... And a few days ago, the signboard of the shop over there was smashed and almost hit someone... The walnut was originally with me. I'm here, but Er Niu came over just now, so I asked them to buy some rice and noodles. I deliberately said something, probably going from here to Dongshi, and leaving them alone for a while... "
Ning Yi was eating pancakes, Nie Yunzhu was beside him talking about what he had seen in the past few days, and Ning Yi also chatted with her a few times. Snowflake on his body: "This business, let's close the stall. Anyway, the only time you can sell more is during the morning.
As he said, he picked up a small bench on the ground and threw it into the car, Nie Yunzhu waved his hand: "No, maybe I can sell a few more, and this car... I can't push it, it's snowing now, every morning and night, it's going to be hard. Erniu came to push it..."
"I can push it."
"Ning Gongzi... You really don't pay attention to appearance, how can there be a scholar who does this... "
"There's no such thing as a bad appearance..." Ning Yi laughed, "Besides, the matter that I asked you to ask you a few days ago is almost the same today, and now there is still time, just to see how the results are, if the results are good, maybe you The cake stand will be saved."
"It's just some salted duck eggs, you also put less salt..." Nie Yunzhu pouted and said with a smile, but after hearing Ning Yi talking about this, he no longer objected, and went to an old lady who was also selling pastries next to him. She helped to leave a message, and then came over to pack up with Ning Yi. After a while, he told Ning Yi his reason in a profound and proud manner.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with walnuts in the end. To the day when they sell well and make money, it will take a long time to get used to it, so I thought, if I do it in winter, If you make a little less every day, you will end up paying less rice and noodles. Maybe you will be able to make money by the beginning of the spring. If you start it only in the beginning of the spring, it will be a big waste.
"You know quite a lot." Ning Yi smiled, "I think it's true that you want to marry Hu Tao as soon as possible?"
"I also have this consideration." The two pushed the car, and went home from the snow all the way, Nie Yunzhu chuckled, "In the early years, I thought that the two sisters would depend on each other for life, but after all, this is impossible. Now that she can find her own home, I'm also happy for her. Oh, when she was with Erniu, she always wanted to hide it from me, and then Erniu came over to ask for a kiss. I found out that she was worried about me. A person can't take care of himself, so he has been unwilling to marry. Since I treat her as a younger sister, I can't drag her down for too long. "
"Hehe, I'm afraid that you may marry Erniu together with Hu Tao in the future..."
Nie Yunzhu didn't shy away from such jokes, at this moment he pursed his lips and smiled, as if he thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, Erniu has a simple and honest temperament and is a good person, but he can't speak to me. If I marry him, I am afraid that I can treat each other with respect a few years ago, and I am afraid that I will be beaten and scolded in a few years, but at that time, it will be the hardest for walnuts."
"Gap." Ning Yi nodded.
Going all the way, through the hustle and bustle of the hot and bustling city, the courtyard walls and gates surrounded by snow in the residential area, the silver trees and ice flowers by the Qinhuai River, the painting boats and boats have all landed on the shore, and a string of ice has formed. Also similar. The number of pedestrians gradually decreased, and the two chatted casually, like a young couple who ran a biscuits stall and now closed the stall and went home. The husband should be a scholar who is not industrious. The long robe, the lady is diligent and virtuous. She runs a biscuits stand every day to make money to support her family. She is looking forward to the day when the family member will have a high school, get a half-official position, and honor his ancestors... When passing a road, the rear horse carriage came quickly, and the imperial car was on the way. The driver waved the whip: "Drive, drive... Get out of the way, get out of the way..." Ning Yi pushed the cart and Nie Yunzhu to the side of the road and stopped. After a sigh of relief, he said from behind, "Then I'm sorry." Nie Yunzhu lowered his head, pursed his lips and laughed lightly.
Lightly humming some messy melody, Ning Yi pushed the car and continued walking. Nie Yunzhu looked at the back for a while, then quickly followed and pushed it up on the side of the car.
"I often listen to what Young Master Ning has been humming all the time. I don't know what tune it is."
"Singing blindly is similar to the minor tunes that people in the mountains sing blindly. Uh... folk songs..."
After Ning Yi described it, Nie Yunzhu chuckled lightly, "Is it a folk song? I've learned this before... Hey, why didn't you come here... Pfft... These are not quite the same as Ning Gongzi's tunes..."
She lowered her voice and sang a sentence, her voice was clear as water, quite pleasant to the ear. But after all, the street is not a place where you can sing these things. She just lowered her voice. She blushed slightly, and then covered her mouth and laughed.
Ning Yi nodded, then glanced at her: "By the way, you are very good at singing and playing the piano, right?"
In the past, the two of them talked, although Nie Yunzhu claimed to be entertaining people with sex, and seemed to have no grudges, but Ning Yi could naturally see that she didn't like these entertaining things, so she never mentioned them. Since he came here, he has never been to any brothel and Chu Pavilion. Although he guessed that Nie Yunzhu should be a famous prostitute, he really couldn't think of the degree of "name". By this time, it probably has nothing to do with it, and I just asked this sentence. Nie Yunzhu also nodded: "Well, in fact, it took a lot of effort."
"So... powerful? Expert?"
"Pfft... Probably..." Naturally, it was impossible for someone else to ask such a question like Ning Yi. Nie Yunzhu found it funny and laughed. Then, with a sullen smile, he nodded solemnly, "Well, my concubine is a master!"
"Oh, how high?"
The tense smile on the other side instantly broke down: "Several floors are so high..." Thinking of Ning Yi's joke a few days ago, Nie Yunzhu replied, "What the hell are you doing?"
Just like this joke, the trolley has already arrived at the section of Qin Lao's door. I didn't expect Kang Xian to come here today. The sedan chair just stopped by the roadside, and Qin Lao also went out. The two cast a surprised look over there. , and then laughed, not knowing what to say, Ning Yi waved his hand and said hello there. Kang Xian said to this side: "What is Liheng? Do you want to help?" Several of his attendants were right next to him. If they wanted to help, they would naturally come over at any time.
Ning Yi stopped the car a few meters away and shook his head: "It's fine." Then he nodded at the woman beside him: "Nie Yunzhu... Mr. Qin, Mr. Kang... We have nothing to do over there to play chess..." . Nie Yunzhu bowed and bowed, and the two sides greeted each other for a while. Ning Yi asked, "Is Mr. Kang here too?"
Kang Xian nodded: "Bring a few good things. I should be here in the afternoon. If Li Heng is free, I can come with this girl Nie later to enjoy some paintings and calligraphy."
Ning Yi laughed: "Oh, it just so happens that I'll bring some good things over later, so we can study it together."
"So good."
After finishing these words, Ning Yi said goodbye and pushed the car forward. It wasn't until he turned the corner of the street in front that Nie Yunzhu's smile had stopped: "Young master just asked about the temperament..."
"Oh, I'm mainly thinking, if I can sing some songs here, can you help me compose a piano piece or something."
Nie Yunzhu nodded, showing a confident smile: "There should be no problem, at least in this matter, whether it's all kinds of poems and songs, or the folk songs that the son just said, if Yunzhu can't do it, I'm afraid In the entire Jiangning City, few people can do it."
"Wow, it's really as high as several floors..." Ning Yi could roughly estimate the level of the other party, squinting his eyes, expressing admiration.
"Yeah, at least four or five floors. If you fall, you will fall to the height of a person."
"Then don't worry." Ning Yi thought about it, and then added, "However, the lyrics are a bit weird, and it's just a few people who can sing and listen at will, I'm afraid it won't be elegant. You You have to be mentally prepared.”
Nie Yunzhu nodded, "Yes."
Then, the small building by the river approached.
