Ning Yi didn't have much confidence in his current body, but after a few months of exercise, it was normal for him to be a little dizzy when he woke up in the morning.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the entire Jiangning City was shrouded in a dark sky, but after all, it was almost dawn. Looking out from the second floor, including the Su family's mansion, there were already cities far and near. Little floating lights. In the nearby courtyards, the servants who got up early were walking and talking faintly. Farther away, beyond the courtyard wall, the streets are immersed in the dark outlines, the dim lights of the houses.
In the two-story building opposite, the warm yellow lights are transmitted through the window lattice, giving a warm color to the courtyard. The three little girls always had to get up early, while Su Tan'er had to get up early and late, but it seemed that she had already got up this morning. In the window on the second floor there was a silhouette of a woman dressing in the mirror, and the little girl was busy before and after. When Ning Yi walked downstairs, Juan'er was walking from the corridor to the small building over there. She bowed her knees slightly and greeted softly, "Young master is up."
"Juan'er is early."
Later, the window of a room downstairs was pushed open, revealing the face of Chan'er who was busy inside: "Master, don't come down, I'll bring the water up."
"Oh, don't bother, I'll do it myself."
The Su family has a large kitchen, so there will be no separate kitchens for cooking in these two small buildings, but there is a place to boil hot water and wash in the small room downstairs, because if you want to take a bath in winter, you will be careful. If there is a fire under the tub, it is not good to have this bathroom upstairs. Xiaochan has now adapted to Ning Yi's habit of getting up early to exercise. At this time, she planned to go up with hot water, but Ning Yi had already come down. He is a modern person. When he ran down and waited for the water to boil, he bored and squatted by the stove to add firewood, which made Xiaochan a little at a loss. While eating, Su Taner said euphemistically, "Xianggong, don't do these things." Xiaochan also seemed to have made a mistake. Usually, he lowered his head beside him, but he just smiled and said it was okay.
It is not necessary to deliberately publicize to show his maverick, it is really taboo, he will not do it, but there is no need to deliberately restrain himself and completely become an "ancient", otherwise he will come here to live again What energy can you have.
If everyone really wants to be together for many years in the future - if there is a possibility of becoming a husband and wife, then in these small things, instead of restraining yourself, it is better to let the other party slowly adapt to and understand, so many small places that don't matter, he will go. Show it, so he doesn't mind if he occasionally goes into the kitchen to make a fire. So he will tell some stories to a group of students in the classroom and talk about things around him. This will not change. Occasionally add a few modern words that others don't understand, don't mind too much.
In front of the old man of the Qin family, occasionally you can say some more avant-garde concepts, even if it is a little deviant, it doesn't matter. This old man has been an official, he is knowledgeable, and he can think about things, regardless of the details. Everyone is just chess friends and has no interests involved. As the old man said, it is very difficult to climb up in the family of a businessman by yourself, and it is very difficult to climb up the ranks of fame and so on. The friendship between gentlemen is like water. Maybe this is the situation, people Not to hurt yourself. Since playing chess for so long, Qin Lao is trying to figure out him, why is he not trying to figure out the other side.
If you can make friends, it doesn't matter. Occasionally, if you say the last two sentences a little bit ahead of the cognition, it is actually quite satisfying to see the other person's thoughtful appearance. To him, it is nothing more than a small talk. In fact, these understandings are not absent at the moment, it is just a different way of saying it. If it is really sensitive, he will naturally not touch it.
I brushed my teeth and washed my face downstairs - I already had toothbrush and tooth powder at this time, but the taste was really bad - then I went out of the yard and went out to the side door through the trail. The rooster had begun to croak along the way, and the east was faintly showing a faint white light, and occasionally encountered other The maids or stewards in the yard call out uncle and say hello.
After leaving the courtyard of Su's house, he still trotted along the original road. On the way, he thought about what to say in class today, and also thought about some Chinese-style songs that he knew. He can't remember some songs completely, which may not be in line with the style of writing of this era, but entertainment is really lacking these days. After thinking about it, maybe he will forget more after a while, and he feels that he has copied the lyrics of the songs that he still remembers. necessary to come down. After thinking about it for a while, he thought about the poetry. He was not a good student when he was studying, and there may not be many poems that he deliberately memorized. However, in the following decades, he has covered a lot of fields and still remembers many famous sentences. This is a good resource. It's a pity to forget it later.
After running for a while, I felt that there was indeed some problem with my body. After all, yesterday's falling into the water still had adverse effects, but the horizontal and vertical activities were enabled. Maybe running for a while and sweating for a while is a good treatment, so I continued to move on.
There was fog floating in the city, and the scene was the same as yesterday. When approaching the place where I climbed up from the water yesterday, I heard some noises on the river not far away, which was the position of falling into the water. Looking around, there was a vague figure swaying there, as if supporting a small boat.
He slowed his pace and approached suspiciously. The boat swayed violently on the water, and a woman's figure stood on the boat with a long bamboo pole. I don't know if it was the woman from yesterday morning. Today, this woman is wrapped in a pink cloak. She is tall and graceful.
The boat shook violently, the woman climbed up cautiously, lightly supported the side of the boat with one hand, her hair was a little messy when she raised her head, and when she saw the figure of the man watching the play by the river, her eyes widened and she was a little flustered. Only then did Ning Yi see clearly that a net pocket was tied to one end of the long bamboo pole, and there was still some mud and sand on it. After the woman stood up carefully, she held a kitchen knife in her hand.
Oh, it was indeed the one from yesterday...
The cloak is beautiful, but a little old. This woman has poor water skills, but she may be able to punt a boat a little bit, so she waited until the morning when no one was there to fish for this kitchen knife. Are you shy? I think this is probably a girl who lived in a good environment in the past, but the current environment is a bit bad. Ning Yi took a few glances and came to the conclusion that he didn't care much about others, but the woman seemed a little flustered. The bamboo pole propped up the boat and wanted to dock, but maybe she was flustered, the boat kept spinning on the water, and she Some were unsteady and nearly fell several times. Then…
"Ah-"
Ning Yi was about to leave when he sneezed, and the woman on the boat sneezed as well, and then fell back into the boat with a bang. When he got up, he stared at him in embarrassment. He pouted his lips: "the chickens have already drowned, why are you still catching that knife..."
Slight silence.
"The chicken is back..."
"scare?"
Ning Yi originally said it casually. To be honest, it was a rather clumsy joke, but he misestimated the other party's answer. After He Zhongxin's voice came, Ning Yi was also a little surprised.
"... The chicken is not dead, the Chen family's... The Chen family's aunt found it." The other party explained.
"… Oh."
Yesterday, the woman chased the chicken and threw it into the river, and then Ning Yi was also pulled down. She couldn't see the follow-up. I thought that the chicken was amazing. sent back. Ning Yi admired it in his heart, and said after a while, "Can you hand over that pole?"
The boat is a certain distance from the shore, and the long pole can be reached originally, but if it is to be lifted flat, the woman's strength is not enough, and the strength of the lever also makes the boat a little dangerous. After several attempts, the long pole One end leaned to the shore, but was still immersed in the water. Ning Yi couldn't reach it, so he had to walk up the river and walk for a while, and then he found another bamboo pole by the roadside, stretched out from the shore, and put the The woman pulled the boat together.
"Thank you for this young man... and what happened yesterday, the concubine just woke up and did some... "
This woman is not indiscriminate. After landing on the shore, she apologized. At the same time, she apologized to Ning Yi for what happened yesterday. She was slapped on the face after being rescued yesterday morning. She thought that she was probably embarrassed. Ning Yi didn't pay much attention to this, and waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright, I have to keep running, let's go first."
He turned around and squeaked again, ignoring the strange question that the woman asked behind him, "Is it possible that the son is being chased?" and ran away. Repaying kindness is like revenge, it’s a hassle, let’s not talk about the real thing first, the other party has to give up for a long time after saying a word of gratitude, and etiquette between men and women is troublesome, why bother, now that I have a cold, I’d better run and run. Khan is more practical.
I ran this road many times, and I turned back when I got to the place I had booked. I finally found the woman's residence halfway through. It was a two-story building facing the river. It was quite unique. There was a small terrace on the other side of the river. Going out, it is quite elegant and elegant, but purely in terms of residence, I am afraid it is not practical, and it should be colder in winter. The woman was standing next to a small vegetable field outside the small building. The vegetable field was surrounded by a fence. The hen she was chasing yesterday was in the fence at this time. The woman hesitated for a long time with the kitchen knife. To catch the hen, the hen fluttered wildly in resistance, she backed out in embarrassment, and quickly closed the fence.
At this time, it is certain that the woman has indeed done nothing, but the conditions are not good. Living in such a small building, I am afraid that she is also a woman who has something to do with Qinhuaihe's famous entertainment business. Some famous prostitutes will choose to go it alone after redeeming themselves, or live in a unique courtyard. They say that they are good, but in fact, they will continue to have benefactors. They are still popular courtesans, and they even look like they are not at the mercy of others. Much upscale. Seeing that she looks good, she somehow can be reduced to the level of killing chickens by herself.
Ning Yi ran to the side while watching. The woman went in once, and this time she grabbed the chicken. However, when she turned around, the hen struggled to escape, and the feathers flew. In the woman's panic, the hen had already flown out of the fence. Ning Yi, who couldn't see it, came over and grabbed it in her hands. This time her two wings were grasped, and it was impossible to break free. The woman was stunned when she saw Ning Yi again. After a long while, probably wanting to thank or apologize again, Ning Yi stretched out his hand: "Bring the knife."
"Uh… "
Ning Yi was too lazy to come and go with her. He reached out and took the kitchen knife. A bowl was already prepared on the ground outside the fence. Ning Yi just walked over and squatted down. He grabbed the wings and squeezed the hen desperately. The struggling chicken head protruded its neck, and then gently waved the knife.
"Gong... this gentleman... that... gentleman..."
"You gentleman, is the hot water burning?"
"… It's burning."
"it is good."
Ning Yi didn't talk nonsense, cut the hen's throat with a knife, and began to put the chicken blood into the bowl. After draining the blood steadily, the hen didn't struggle much. He threw the chicken on the ground, put the knife on the bowl, and stood up. up.
"Go to the kitchen and pluck the hair with hot water, then cut and wash the internal organs. Then again, how to cook it into a dish, you know?"
The woman hesitated.
"Forget it, find someone who can cook and let others help you, such as the aunt who helped you get the chicken back, it's not easy to kill a chicken, don't waste it, and go see the doctor, I'm afraid you have a cold... I have a cold too. Let’s go first, don’t thank me, I’m a living Lei Feng… ah chirp—”
He turned around, trotted all the way, and walked away. The woman in the back watched him leave, and then she reacted slightly and frowned: "Live... Lei... Feng? Live? Or call? Hu Lei Feng... It's weird..." There are people with the surname Hu. The woman whispered in her mouth for a long time, thinking that the other party may be a minority, or the surname is Huyan, that is, Huyan Lei Feng, this name is a bit domineering, maybe it is this.
In the past, he was good at dancing with long sleeves and knew a lot of people, but what this man saw was his embarrassed side, and his behavior and words were strange. She thought about it for a while, after all Ning Yi had already run away, so she had no choice but to carry the old hen and the bowl of chicken blood, and went to the kitchen...
In the morning of the class at Yushan Academy, my physical discomfort has become intense. I vomited once on the way home after class, and I can confirm the deterioration of my physical condition. This time Xiaochan was with me, so I went back to After arriving home, he was pushed to the bed on the second floor for protection as if he were seriously ill.
The sick life that I experienced when I first arrived here will probably take another day or two...
