When she woke up in the morning, the sky was still dark outside. A pleasure boat sailed past the river outside the small building, faintly illuminated by the lights. At this time, the people on the pleasure boat should have already fallen asleep. But listening carefully, there was still a slight sound of music coming from the other side. She didn't know who was still playing the guqin at this time.
"The Chinese parasol tree, the rain of the third night, not knowing the bitterness of parting … It's the tune of the third night. Whose boat is it?"
There was no light in the room. She could see the floating light from the window lattice. Nie Yunzhu had already woken up. She was wearing a moon-white dress and was about to sit up, but then she was hugged by the bed partner next to her. She lay back down with a thud. Jin 'er arched on her shoulder like a sleepy piglet.
"Oh, not sleeping in the middle of the night, disturbing my sleep …"
"It's almost dawn."
"Not sleeping even at dawn, so you'll definitely doze off during the day." Jin 'er yawned and didn't open her closed eyes. After a while, she muttered, "The Chinese parasol tree, the rain of the third night … It's obviously autumn, but you're forcing it to say sorrow for the sake of a new poem …"
Yunzhu laughed under the quilt, "I'm talking about Parting, but you're talking about the season … Maybe someone important has left."
"Sister Yunzhu, you've been concerned about Parting recently …"
"That's why I have to seize the opportunity to reunite with him."
"You're really shameless …" Jin 'er murmured, "Sister Yunzhu, have you really thought it through? He already has a wife, really … no. "
Similar words had been said many times in the past few months. Yunzhu's attitude was firm. These days, Jin 'er didn't say anything, but she always acted to keep herself between Yunzhu and Ning Yi, so they didn't make any progress. But to be honest, even if there was no progress, the two of them were able to adapt to the situation. They would be satisfied just by playing the piano and singing together.
She understood that her Sister Yunzhu had such a temperament. However, in the past, no matter how romantic and open-minded a man was, after he won the favor of a woman, he would only think about entering the room and getting the woman's chastity. After so many years in the Golden Wind Tower, Jin'er was also clear about this. The fact that Ning Yi was able to remain unmoved made Jin'er admire him.
Recently, it was said that Ning Yi and his wife would go to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the summer. They would probably stay there for a few more months. Realizing that they wouldn't be able to meet each other for long, Yunzhu cherished the opportunity to see each other even more. Jin'er saw this and felt even more vexed. A woman of her status couldn't be the legal wife of a man of status. For the time being, she could accept it. But in Ning Yi's side, it was difficult for her to even be a concubine. This was … too much.
Whether it was a friend or an enemy, or even a benefactor who had supported her in the Golden Wind Tower, she would appreciate a man like Ning Yi. But on this matter, reason told her that it was better for Sister Yunzhu and Ning Yi to break up. Otherwise, there would be a lot of sadness in the future. So in the early hours of the morning, she couldn't help but ask the question again.
Yunzhu smiled. "It's good enough to find a man who can be entrusted to me in this world."
"How can I entrust him if I can't get married? To be kept as an outsider? "
"… Jin'er, let me tell you." Yunzhu thought for a while and then added, "Don't laugh at me."
"Yes."
"I thought about it for a while, but one day, I thought that when I was sixty years old and became an old woman, I would be able to get up early. Then, before the sun rose, he walked over from there, and I was still waiting for him here. That's also a good thing. "
"…" Jin'er fell silent.
"I know you want to laugh at me, Jin'er, so I didn't say it … Sometimes I also think that maybe he comes to talk to me every day because I'm still beautiful. He may not think so in his heart, but it's inevitable. Some scholars don't write poems just to show off in front of women. But writing poems in front of a beautiful woman is more interesting than writing poems in front of an old lady."
Yunzhu smiled. "Maybe after a few decades, he won't like to listen to me because I can't say anything interesting. But most of the time, I'm still willing to believe him. He's willing to talk to me not just because I'm beautiful. Jiner, I've always felt that if you're a woman and you're liked by others just because you're beautiful, then when you're not beautiful, it's only natural that you're hated by others. There has to be something else. Just like how Li Heng quarreled with you, it wasn't because he thought you were beautiful, but because he thought you were interesting … Perhaps there's something else that makes me liked. "
"Of course there is!" Jin'er said. "But Sister Yunzhu, you don't have to include me. I don't think he's interesting at all. Stinky man! "
"If there's ten years, the accumulated feelings will naturally extend to twenty years, then thirty years, forty years. Maybe when he comes to talk to me every day, it will become something that he can't forget. Jin'er, since I have some confidence in myself and know that Liheng is different from others, I will probably have some confidence in the future. If this still doesn't work … then I can only say that my life is bitter. But I only want to give myself to him, so what else can I do? "
Jin'er was silent for a while, then hugged Yunzhu tighter. Both of them were women, and it was common for them to hug each other when they slept together. But this hug felt a little different, but Yunzhu couldn't tell what the difference was. But after a moment, Jin'er muttered, "Then give yourself to me …"
"Heh, Jin'er, you will also meet the man you want to entrust yourself to in the future."
"No, I want to accompany Sister Yunzhu. When that Ning Yi becomes a heartless person in the future, we will become two old women together."
"I don't want to be betrayed. And Jin'er, you just haven't met anyone you like … "
"I do."
"Huh?"
"I told Sister Yunzhu before. A few years ago, there was a boy from Bianjing. He was so beautiful and looked like a girl, but I'm sure he wasn't a girl. Well, I fell in love with him at that time … but I'm still willing to accompany you, Sister Yunzhu."
Yun Zhu narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "I'm very touched."
"Well, Sister Yunzhu, the way you talk now is really like that damn Ning Yi … but I won't let you two be together …"
*****
Just like in the past, after chatting in bed for a while, Yunzhu still got up first. At this time, the living room was actually lit up. Jin'er's maid, Kou'er, had adapted to the two masters' schedule and got up earlier than them. She boiled the hot water to wash her face and waited for Yunzhu to get up.
After putting on her usual plain dress, Yunzhu blew out the light and then went out to the living room. While waiting for Ning Yi to come over, she would make a pot of tea, read some books, and figure out some music scores. As she said, her beauty was not the only thing people liked about her.
In the past, when she was in the brothel, she figured out and dabbled in all kinds of things in order to make all kinds of people like her. At this time, her goal was to change from many people to one person. Although before Ning Yi appeared, Sister Yunzhu also had these hobbies when she was alone, but at this time, besides her hobbies, she was definitely trying to figure out what Ning Yi would like. It couldn't be said to be utilitarian, but Jin'er knew that Sister Yunzhu cared about that guy this much.
The girl lay in the quilt, wrapped in warmth, feeling very warm. This warmth came from the quilt, from the body temperature left by Sister Yunzhu, but also from the emotions, from Sister Yunzhu's words just now. She felt that her body and mind were very relaxed, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She felt that she had fallen in love with Sister Yunzhu.
In the past, she liked Sister Yunzhu too. Back when she was in Golden Wind Brothel, before Sister Yunzhu opened her shop, she already felt that Sister Yunzhu was very powerful. She could remove her citizenship without hesitation and cut off all ties with the past. This kind of Sister Yunzhu was really powerful. Later, she followed Sister Yunzhu to sell century eggs. Of course, there was also the reason why selling century eggs was very profitable. She wasn't that powerful, and she still had to consider the reality of everything. However, Sister Yunzhu was very powerful. Although Mother Yang and others said that she was very strange, Jin'er felt that she was like the sun. If she could follow her, she might become almost as powerful and reach a very impressive place.
She had always liked Sister Yunzhu, there was no doubt about that. However, after Sister Yunzhu said these words, she felt that she liked her even more. It was a little different from the previous liking. This was more personal and closer. Listening to her talking about liking another man, she actually felt warm. Originally, she should be angry because of her "lack of self-love", but at this moment, she only felt that she liked her even more.
She still couldn't distinguish this kind of feeling, but in this warmth, she had already made up her mind. The relationship between Sister Yunzhu and that bad guy Ning Yi was destined to be fruitless, but even so, it didn't matter. She would give her own feelings to her.
At this moment, Yunzhu, who was outside the house, didn't know that Jin'er had made a decision. She estimated that it was about time, and Ning Yi might have woken up. She sat on the stairs for a while. Her white dress looked elegant under the yellow light. The long skirt covered the embroidered shoes on her feet. Sometimes, she would look at the end of the road. From afar, she looked like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. Ever since she got to know Ning Yi and met him every day, she still wore the same style as before. However, she actually put more effort into dressing up than before. It didn't change much, but she was more attentive than before.
Unintentionally, something dripped on the back of her hand. It was cold. She raised the back of her hand and looked at it. Then, she raised her head.
"It's raining …"
The falling rain fell from the sky. Around the Qingming Festival, it was the rainy season, so it wasn't strange. It was just that it was only a month away from summer. On a rainy morning, she lost a chance to meet Ning Yi. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed …
After a while, Jin'er also got up. Looking at the falling rain outside, she actually looked a little regretful. "Hmm? That guy can't come today … I had something to say to him. "
