"Dang dang … Dang dang dang dang dang di ~ Dida — Dong …"
The night breeze was soft and warm. The peach tree in the corner of the courtyard was covered in a bright red color, and the surrounding flowers and plants were decorating it. The lanterns under the eaves emitted a red light. Not far from the courtyard, there was the faint sound of stringed and bamboo instruments, singing in a low voice, and the laughter of people talking. In the grass of this courtyard, the woman was beating a beat to herself, dancing briskly like a sprite.
The woman was wearing a dress specially used for dancing. The gorgeous bright red and warm apricot yellow blended together. After the long dress reached her waist, it accentuated her slender and tall figure. There was fluff at the hem of the dress, and under the hem, a pair of nimble feet could be seen from time to time. Her dance was mainly agile and cheerful, but sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was slow, and sometimes it was even a little heroic. Sometimes her dance was as fast as a blooming flower, and then it suddenly stopped, as if she wanted to say something. This dance had not been rehearsed, and no one had ever seen it before. It was just a casual dance, but anyone who saw it would probably be able to feel the superb skills of the dancer.
This was a small courtyard located in the corner of Qingyuan. At this moment, there were five or six girls around the age of eleven or twelve who were lucky enough to be watching Yuan Jin'er's dance. They sat by the railings of the veranda, their mouths slightly agape as they watched in awe. This was the effect of Yuan Jin'er completing several extremely difficult movements. Just now, when she moved her body, her whole body was so light that it was as if she was about to fly on the grass, but after that, her body became soft and comfortable, which was another kind of artistic conception. After a while, Yuan Jin'er raised her hands above her head and took a step forward after completing a movement. Then, she seemed to have run out of inspiration. She paused for a moment, then stretched her body and stopped completely.
"Do you understand? How much do you remember? Can you jump?"
She took a ruler and asked sternly in front of the little girls.
Everyone shook their heads hesitantly.
"Uh … I've at least remembered some of it!"
Some people nodded, some shook their heads, and then nodded again. Yuan Jin'er put her hands on her hips and thought for a while like a hen. She was probably distressed about what she should say, and in the end, she ended it with violence.
"Stretch out your hands. Everyone, hit the board three times. Go back and practice what you've memorized. I'll come back to check later."
After slapping their hands, the little lolis rubbed their palms and looked up at Yuan Jin'er for a moment. After an awkward silence, Yuan Jin'er said, "Let's go." The little girls who were bought ran away obediently.
In all fairness, Yuan Jin'er, who had superb dancing skills, was not a wise and patient teacher. After chasing away a bunch of stupid girls who didn't seem to be very perceptive, she thought for a moment and then dragged her dress towards the room on the side. The long dress she wore when she danced seemed a little cumbersome at this time, but she had already gotten used to it. As she jogged, the back of her skirt was like a wave, and the pom-poms bounced lightly behind her.
In this room, Yunzhu, who was dressed as a man, was sitting in front of the table sorting out some accounts. She held a writing brush in one hand and fiddled with an abacus in the other. At first glance, in the shadow of the candlelight, it was a picture of an elegant young master frowning and contemplating. However, she was actually not talented in this aspect. Although she didn't need to sort out many accounts every month, it still took a long time. All she had was patience and silence. Occasionally, when she was contemplating, she would slightly frown and put the pen between her teeth to gently bite it. Yuan Jin'er stuck her head out of the door and looked at her sister's appearance. She really felt that her sister was really beautiful.
Yunzhu put down the pen and turned her head, "Finished teaching?"
"Yes." Jin'er came in from the door, "They're too stupid."
Yunzhu's eyes contained a smile, "You're too impatient, aren't you?"
"Uh, although I'm not impatient … but they're too stupid …"
"Then sell them all back to the broker woman." Yunzhu looked at the accounts and slightly frowned, "Actually … we've really spent too much money on this recently. Aunt Gui and the others all came to say …"
Yunzhu wanted to say something but stopped. Jin'er's face slightly changed, "Really? No, don't do this … They're all very poor … "When she saw Yunzhu's smiling face, she then reacted," Sister Yunzhu, you lied to me again. "Yunzhu smiled and lowered her head to focus on the accounts.
The room became quiet. Jin'er came to the table and looked at it. In fact, she felt a little guilty in her heart. When it came to numbers, she was as untalented as Yunzhu. However, Yunzhu could calm down, but she couldn't. At first, she always wanted to share Yunzhu's burden, but after a few times, she couldn't help but find some excuses to do other things. She felt that Sister Yunzhu must know that she was lazy, but Sister Yunzhu never said it, so she couldn't help but feel even more guilty. Thinking of this, she also remembered that these things were all caused by Ning Liheng, so she hated him.
She looked here and there. Yunzhu glanced at her and said softly with a smile, "Go and change your clothes." Jin'er stood up and looked at the dress she was wearing. She reached out and pulled it a few times, "I haven't worn it for a long time … Sister Yunzhu, do you think it's beautiful?"
"Beautiful." Yunzhu rolled her eyes, "Go and change your clothes. I'm almost done."
"Oh." Jin'er walked to the back. "Sister Yunzhu said that Jin'er is beautiful …" A seemingly happy voice sounded in the room, making Yunzhu purse her lips.
There was a slanted screen at the back of the room. Jin'er was softly humming an inaudible soft melody behind it. She untied her belt and took off her top. There were only two women in the room, so she did not put up much of a guard. Not long after, she could see a part of Jin 'er's body appearing from behind the screen. Her slender and fair legs, without any excess fat, and her delicate bare feet were twisting around in a somewhat arrogant and playful manner. After a moment, no one knew what she thought of, but the soft melody stopped. Jin'er also stopped there.
One of her legs came out from the other side. Jin'er poked her head out from the side of the screen. Then she bit her lower lip and carefully moved out from the other side with her undergarment that had been untied. The weather was still a little cold, and her body was also slightly trembling. Finally, she hesitated for a while and let go of the undergarment, "Sister Yunzhu?"
"Hmm?" Yunzhu turned her head …
"Do I look good …"
After a few seconds of silence, Yunzhu's shoulders drooped, and then she threw a ball of paper over, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. What if you catch a cold …"
"Oh … but …"
"No buts. Hurry up. " At this time, Yunzhu, who was dressed as a man, was also a little bit speechless. But her forcefulness finally paid off. Jin'er retreated a little resentfully, revealing half of her small butt behind the screen. She tidied up for a while, and occasionally poked her head out, but all she saw was Yunzhu biting her pen in front of the table. This scene made Jin'er want to say something several times, but she stopped herself several times. Finally, when she was about to tidy up her men's clothes, she came out from behind the screen and said softly, "Sister Yunzhu …"
At the other side of the table, Yunzhu suddenly turned around and slapped the brush on the table behind her, "Jin'er, I'm doing the math. Can you … can you …" After all, her temperament was not too good at getting angry and scolding people, especially when facing the people closest to her. She could not get angry. After saying that, her gaze became complicated and self-blaming, and she frowned and tightly pursed her lips. At this time, Jin'er did not button up her clothes, nor did she wear shoes. Her slender feet were bare, and she looked especially petite in the men's clothes that she had not put on properly. She knew that she was really too annoying, so she lowered her head and stayed quiet for a while, then raised her head to look at Yunzhu's situation, "But you … you are not doing the math …"
"Uh, I … where am I …" Yunzhu did not know why she said that.
"You bite the pen, and your eyes are not on the account book at all. You are like this for a while. You are not doing the math at all, you are thinking about him again … "
"…" Yunzhu wanted to say something, but in the end, she could not say it.
"… I know."
"I … I was just thinking about what would happen if he was here. Jin'er, you know … we are a little stupid when it comes to these things …"
Yunzhu said a few words, then turned around. She looked at the account book for a while, then raised her head and said softly, "Actually … I was also thinking about when he would come back, and whether he was alright or not. According to the Prince Consort, there should be a result by now. I want to go to the Prince Consort's residence tomorrow to visit him. Jin'er … I'm sorry …"
For a long time after the incident in Hangzhou, although Yunzhu and Jin'er went to the Prince Consort's residence to ask for information, it was still the Prince Consort's residence. There was a distance between ordinary people and the royal family. In fact, Yunzhu and Jin'er were aware of it. Although the number of visits was quite frequent, it was at most once every ten days to half a month. The last time they went to the Prince Consort's residence was after the Qingming Festival. At that time, Ning Yi had just settled the matter with the Tyrannical Blade Camp, but the news naturally could not be sent back. Kang Xian naturally comforted them and said that there would be news after a while. However, for Yunzhu, who was always thinking about Ning Yi, even getting news from him once a day was probably not enough. At this time, the matter in Hangzhou should be settled. She suppressed her emotions and told herself that she should not keep bothering him, but she still missed him in her heart.
"No, but I just don't want you to keep thinking about him. Anyway, I don't." After apologizing, Jin'er walked over quietly and hugged Yunzhu from behind. She leaned her face against Yunzhu's back and said, "Seeing you like this makes my heart ache."
Yunzhu did not push her away. After all, it was not the first time that Jin'er always said that she liked her and was always jealous of her. Of course, she also knew that Jin'er's real feelings were, after all, just because she admired her. She said, "But I like him, Jin'er."
"It won't end well." Jin'er swayed and muttered, "Why can't you like me?"
"If I were a man, I would definitely like you, Jin'er."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me... Unfortunately, I'm not a man. There is nothing I can do."
Yunzhu turned around and stroked her hair with a smile, "I really don't understand why you don't like Liheng so much..."
"He is going to take you away. Why should I like him? I didn't like him before. Now that we have been together for so long, I dislike him even more! I hate him! I hate him! Sister Yunzhu... He is not a good person at all. We have stayed in Golden Wind House for so long. We can see what a man is like at a glance. He is too powerful. I can't understand him. Even if you just want to be a concubine, you will be manipulated by him forever. You can't manipulate him at all. Mommy had said it before. If you can charm him, you can marry into a rich family or a poor family. If he charms you, then those who worship him as a great scholar and beg him to marry you won't have a good ending! I don't want to talk about this... "
Yuan Jin'er waved her hands and shouted. She circled around Yunzhu like a little hen, "Anyway... Anyway, Sister Yunzhu, you know and have heard that it is okay for a woman to like another woman. Why must it be a man? Sister Yunzhu, it would be great if we could live together. You can like me too. I'm so pretty. It is not like we don't have money. Don't care so much. Sell these buildings. What Bright Moon House, Qing Yuan, Blue Memory House? It is so unpleasant to hear... "
Yunzhu smiled and said, "But Jin'er, you actually don't like women. You are only saying this for me..."
"No way. I like women. I like Sister Yunzhu. I don't like other women. Sister Yunzhu, why don't you kiss me, kiss my lips... They say we will know after a kiss. Kiss... kiss... "
She jumped up and down beside Yunzhu. She raised her head and pouted. Just as she was shouting, a soft and soft feeling pressed against her. Yunzhu's lips pressed against hers. She froze there. Her eyes blinked a few times. After a while, Yunzhu separated from her. She smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"Uh... numb and numb. My... my face is all red..."
"Nonsense." Yunzhu stretched out her finger and poked her forehead with a smile.
"Really! Really really really really really. Why don't we do it again? Sister Yunzhu, really... "She kept on emphasizing. However, Yunzhu thought that she was just messing around. After a while, she couldn't help but mutter," Sister Yunzhu, you are always thinking about getting married. What am I going to do if you get married... "She then continued to make a fuss.
While they were talking, there was already a commotion in front of them. At this moment, a lady hurried over and knocked on the door. She said that there were two groups of scholars quarreling upstairs. Jin'er wrapped herself in her clothes and hid behind Yunzhu. She said, "Isn't that a common thing? There is no point for us to go."
Yunzhu said, "Let's go take a look." She waved the lady away. Then, she let Jin'er put on her clothes and went out. Jin'er had just buttoned up her clothes when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the courtyard in front of them. This time, it sounded like a real disturbance...
