The spring rain was pouring down outside the window, and in March, the water of the Qinhuai River gradually began to rise. The rain came in a hurry, a teal tossed on the kimono face a little embarrassed, and the maid Kou'er put away her clothes outside. Yuan Jin'er stood on the terrace by the river and poked around with a branch, then turned to look at the flower boat passing by the river.
The window of the flower boat is open, and there are also banquets and songs. The girls and talents who were disturbed by the heavy rain ran to the window to look around, and some laughed at each other and hugged each other. Yuan Jin'er leaned back against the railing to watch this scene. After a while, Yunzhu also came out to watch the rain. The wind blew the hair of the two women on the terrace, and the eyes of some talented people on the boat were attracted. There were also hostile gazes from several women.
Yuan Jin'er pressed her hair down, curled her lips and snorted softly, and pulled Yun Zhu back to her room, only opening the side window to watch the rain.
This is Yunzhu's room. There are needles and threads and some clothes on the bed. Obviously, Yunzhu was sewing here before going out. This is the old clothes for the adopted children. Some of them are broken. Yunzhu is fine, so bring it back to mend it. Jin'er has no attainments in needlework. It's not a matter of character, but she has not learned much. What a brothel girl needs to learn is folk art and dance, various techniques to please men. The trend is now, mothers are not forbidden to learn, but they will not teach it deliberately. What Yunzhu will know is the craftsmanship left over when she was a lady of the official family.
"I originally wanted to go to Qingyuan to take a look, but it's raining, so boring."
Yuan Jin'er knelt down on the chair and dangled around boredly.
"Come and mend your clothes with me when you're bored."
"Won't."
Yuan Jin'er had the same head and smiled, feeling a little shameless. Yunzhu smiled and leaned against the bed to pick up the needle and thread. She was dressed elegantly and had a graceful figure, leaning against the bed like a picture of a lady. Jin'er watched for a while, and then got a little bored again, drinking tea, rolling, and jumping for a while. After fiddling with the guzheng a few times, I was not very proficient after all, and then I hugged the pipa and sat by the window. The chords move lightly.
"The waters of the Yangtze River are rolling in the east, the waves wash away the heroes, right and wrong ~ success or failure ~ turn around and empty... The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red a few times..."
Although Yunzhu is good at performing arts, but when she sings at will, Jin'er's singing is melodious and refreshing, and Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. Jin'er sang half-queen to herself, and stopped when she reached the white-haired fishing reef, and then turned into a more casual humming. After humming the song, he hugged the pipa and glanced at Yunzhu: "Sister Yunzhu, don't you feel bored?"
"What's boring?" Yunzhu bit off the silk thread and changed into another dress.
"It's boring to be quiet all day long, Sister Yunzhu, you're always so happy..."
"If you think you're bored, let's go back and forth. You can call Kou'er in." Yunzhu smiled.
"It's no fun to play that all day." Jin'er shook her head. Putting down the pipa, he walked to the bedside to arrange a piece of clothing for Yunzhu, and then lay on the bed with open arms. After a while, he asked again, "Sister Yunzhu, what was it like when you were a lady of the official family?"
"Reading female training, being a female celebrity, playing double land with others, hide-and-seek, etc." Yunzhu paused, "Actually, it was almost the same as now, but when I was young, I found it interesting to do anything."
"Do you want to get married?"
"How old was I at that time?" Yunzhu rolled her eyes at her, "but later. Although I don't know what it means, I probably understand that it's like a parent, living with one person...for a lifetime, but a man Children are very boring, and then I thought, maybe get married. It would be interesting to find a boy and talk all day."
"Just talk all day."
"Just talking." Yunzhu laughed, then lowered his eyes, "After that... I hope someone can save me out. Who knows what's going on with getting married, but I just heard people say that getting married is a very happy thing. At that time, I hoped that someone could help me redeem my life and marry him, so I tried my best to learn to sing and sing, but after seeing a lot of things, I don't feel any joy in these things... Anyway, no matter when I think about it Things, it seems, are actually just a few simple things, so I don't think it's boring now."
"Uh..." Jin'er rested her arm on her arm and looked at the mosquito net above her head with annoyance. However, Yunzhu smiled: "You just want to go to Qingyuan to see what those talented people have to say? I've never seen you so boring."
"Hehe." Jin'er grinned.
What the two were talking about was actually an incident that happened in Qingyuan yesterday. Yunzhu and Jin'er were there at the time, and they accidentally bumped into a group of talented scholars who praised each other and wrote poems to each other. Of course, this is also a common occurrence. However, when the praise reaches a certain level, when it comes to Ning Yi, it is said that Ning Li Heng will only be a tortoise with his head shrinking, he has no real material or anything, and he also said that he has not come out with new words recently, Jiang Lang is exhausted, and it can be compared to so-and-so, so they write lyrics here, chanting ancient expressions Today, Yunzhu went to the yard next door to play the piano and sang the song "Linjiang Immortal. The rolling waters of the Yangtze River to the east".
This is naturally a good word, but Ning Yi didn't bring it to everyone's eyes in the past, he just told Yunzhu in the form of singing. She intended to let the people next door hear it. After singing a song, there was really no sound there. When a group of talented people asked who this new work was, Yunzhu called the people in Qingyuan to tell them that it was Ning Yi's lyrics. , pulled Jin'er and left.
She doesn't usually have a love-in-the-earth temperament, but when it comes to Ning Yi, she occasionally has such a reaction. Jin'er wanted to hide there secretly to see the expressions on the faces of these talented people, hugged the pillar and refused to leave, but was finally pulled away by Yunzhu.
Jin'er herself is a playful, playful, and boisterous character. Yesterday, she didn't enjoy the thrill of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. She was going to tell him about it when Ning Yi came over this morning, but Ning Yi probably had something to do and didn't come in the morning. She just thought about going to Qingyuan during the day to see if the news spread, but it rained heavily again, which was really depressing. After laughing, he blinked: "Sister Yunzhu, you said, he didn't come this morning, is the one in his family born?"
"Yeah..." Yunzhu accidentally stabbed a needle in his finger, put it in his mouth and sucked it, and then slapped Jin'er who was looking over with great interest.
"Sister Yunzhu, you also care."
"Of course I will." Yunzhu replied softly.
"Men are so annoying." Jin'er turned her eyes to the top of the mosquito net, and said this slowly, "He didn't even say that he married you, why do you still like him..." This is not a question, something like that , the two have said many times. Nor are they feminists. It is really difficult for Ning Yi to marry her, but there will always be some expectations in his heart.
Yunzhu was quiet for a while: "Jin'er, you know that Liheng is very good at everything, right?"
"Well, I admit it."
"But he's not great at that at all."
Jin'er's eyes widened. He suddenly turned over, lay there, clasped his hands together, and looked at Yunzhu: "Sister Yunzhu, where is yours?"
Yun Zhu pursed his lips and kicked her lightly: "Where did I say this! I mean... Raising a woman outside is not a problem for those talented people you and I know, right?"
"Hey, um."
"He's very annoying. He looks like he doesn't know what to do, and he can't get through it in his heart. Although he can't see it on the face..."
"Uh... It seems a little bit." Jin'er thought for a while, "Hey, big man, it's really useless."
"I like it very much." After a while, Yunzhu stopped sewing. He lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, "I'm afraid he didn't realize it himself. But I like it very much. I just think it's right for him to be very powerful. Of course, it's fine even if it's not. But it's just for him. It's not a big thing at all, Jin'er, I really like it."
She blinked: "Li Heng has always been calm, but... Maybe he really stayed in the Golden Wind Tower for a long time, only this thing, I saw it early in the morning, maybe he also saw it himself He came out, but even if he saw it, there was nothing he could do. I think. If I can see him like this, let alone Nie Yunzhu who is now a concubine, even if I am a former official lady, no matter what happens next , I also recognize it..."
After saying this, she continued to lower her head to mend her clothes. The rain was still falling, Jin'er lay there and looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed: "You..."
Chunyu submerged the small building and the entire Jiangning city in a mist of water. Su's house, the small yard where Ning Yi and his wife lived, was going through half a morning of hustle and bustle. Because Su Tan'er had abdominal pain in the morning, she thought she was about to give birth. After the midwife took it over, she found that it was a false alarm, but The real delivery, I am afraid it is in the past two or two days, the midwife is retained to live in the mansion, and Ning Yi is also comforting his wife's emotions in the room. At the same time, a strange rumor was spreading word of mouth among several specific people in the second and third rooms of the Su family. This was the news that Ning Yi was having an affair with a conciliatory courtesan. The source of the news is unknown for the time being.
"Is it true?"
"I do not know… "
"If this is true..."
"It can be big or small, you think clearly..."
"The last chance to break the game..."
The small-scale rumors in the dark did not disturb Ning Yi and everyone in the big room for the time being, but it was also this afternoon, amid the increasing rain, at one end of Jiangning City, a fight was taking place under the cover of the rain. Happened in several yards in the city.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. These courtyards belong to a large-scale gang in Jiangning City. The leader of the gang is Cheng Lie. There is one word difference, it is called "Hundred Swords League".
But the strength is obviously much weaker.
Today, the courtyard of the Hundred Swords League is full of corpses and blood, and there are more than a dozen men in black cloaks who come in. Some of them are still carrying baggage, and they seem to be dressed as travelers. The generals under Cheng Lie had all died in the fight just now. Now, half of his body is covered in blood. He is holding a long knife that has been chopped off. Strong man: "Who, who are you..."
"Hey, after you die, remember Grandpa's name... Grandpa's name is Li Kui! Those who dare to touch my brother will pay for their lives!"
The giant axe slammed down!
On the street outside the door, with a bang, a plaque with the words "Hundred Swords League" fell to the ground in the rain. Xi Junyu, who was also wearing a mink robe, looked back, turned his head and chatted a few words with a man next to him. , a carriage came over from the street, and a few people got out of the car, all wearing black mink clothes that both sheltered from the rain and concealed their own characteristics. The first person was tall, wearing a hat, and carrying a long gun behind his back. Although there was a handsome face under the hat, it seemed that there was always a period of sadness to hide.
Xi Junyu bowed his hands: "Several brothers are here too, Brother Lin, you came from Tokyo, what do you think of Jiangning? I'm familiar with this place. I'll find a good restaurant for my brothers later."
A few people cupped their hands, and the man in front nodded "um" and turned to look at the yard next to him. Although the yard door was closed and it was raining heavily, he could still hear what was going on inside. .
"Brother Xi, this time we came to Jiangning for business purposes. I have nothing to say about your personal revenge. Remember not to miss business."
"Naturally, Big Brother Schelling taught me..."
"It's okay." The other party stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder, and then walked past him.
Xi Junyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone has been called brothers for a long time, for a long time, he still has an inexplicable sense of fear and awe for some people, such as military teachers, Another example is the former-
800,000 Imperial Army instructors!
