*****
Ning Yi's busyness these days fell into the eyes of the people around him. However, after hearing about what happened in the afternoon, Jin 'er felt a little itchy. If something like this happened in Jiangning, Ning Yi would most likely come to talk to her and Sister Yunzhu. But now, he was busy, so he obviously didn't care about it. Of course, even if he did come to talk to her, Jin 'er didn't know how to communicate with him.
After dinner, Jin 'er and Yunzhu played with embroidered balls in the yard. One time, when Jin' er was about to stop the embroidered ball, she saw Ning Yi appear at the door. She quickly hugged the embroidered ball. When Yunzhu also looked over, Ning Yi waved at her and smiled, "I've been busy these days. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's go out and watch the dragon boat race."
"Okay." Yunzhu nodded.
"Go to bed early … You're coming too, Yuan Bao 'er."
"Hmph!"
Jin 'er turned her head. Ning Yi smiled, turned around, and left. Seeing him like this, Jin 'er was a little angry, "What do you mean I'm coming too? You make it sound like I'm throwing a tantrum!"
She complained to Yunzhu, and Yunzhu smiled, "Oh, you don't?"
"Of course not …" Jin 'er turned her head and muttered.
But … Ning Yi still didn't stay to talk to them about what happened during the day.
Jin 'er was a little disappointed. She went to the hall on the second floor and found a table with a screen to drink tea. She wanted to continue listening to the news during the day. Unfortunately, Bianliang was a big city. Even if the news was really known by those scholars, it wouldn't be heard in this noisy teahouse at night. She drank a bellyful of water, and when she returned, the night breeze gently caressed her. As she slowly walked past Ning Yi's courtyard, lanterns were sprinkling yellow light. The roses in the courtyard were in full bloom, and under the light, they looked like a sick beauty. She paced, a little dispirited. When she slowly passed by the door, she tilted her head and looked inside. She saw that Ning Yi was still writing at the desk. Occasionally, he would flip to the side and read what he had written, his brows furrowed.
Maybe this is how a man looks when he's doing something big …
As she thought of this, she was no longer in the mood to pick a quarrel with him. She even unconsciously smiled. Of course, after a while, she was still in a low mood when she walked past the door. Because of these things, she couldn't face her Sister Yunzhu. She even felt a little embarrassed when facing Xiaochan. Originally, she wanted to teach Xiaochan how to massage her legs and turn her into a vixen to make his family restless …
Not long after, when she passed by the door of the yard, she accidentally saw Ning Yi coming out of his room. He seemed to have changed his clothes and was talking to Xiaochan, ready to go out.
"I have something to do, so I have to go to Fan Lou tonight."
"Oh … Husband, are you going to see Miss Shishi? Will you come back tonight? "
"Of course, I will come back."
Ning Yi smiled and walked out of the door.
She thought he was going to do something big. Hmph!
He wrote so many good poems for that vixen during the day. Nothing good would happen if he went there at night! Even if he didn't want to, that Li Shishi wouldn't let him go …
Jin 'er thought about it and was quite unhappy. That night, when it was almost bedtime, Ning Yi still hadn't come back. After she took a bath, she blew out the lights and slept with Yunzhu. She hugged Yunzhu and placed her hand on Yunzhu's chest. Yunzhu thought she was hugging her carelessly and hugged the wrong place. She gently moved her hand down, but Jin 'er moved it back again and covered Yunzhu's right breast through the dudou. She even squeezed it lightly and refused to let go. Yunzhu didn't know what she was thinking about. She smiled and put her hand on the back of her hand and fell asleep just like that.
Jin 'er couldn't fall asleep. At midnight, Ning Yi came back from the courtyard next door. She heard the noise and thought that Ning Yi and Li Shishi might have done something bad. Of course, she didn't believe this idea. She gradually fell asleep after a while. That night, she tossed and turned and had a lot of strange dreams. At the Dragon Boat Festival the next day, she got up with dark circles under her eyes and looked quite haggard.
The Dragon Boat Festival began in the morning and it was very lively. Ning Yi spent most of the day shopping with his family, watching the dragon boat race and all kinds of fun. In the morning, Commandery Princess Zhou Pei also joined in. They went to the teahouse to eat, chat, guess riddles and so on. In the afternoon, they went to Prime Minister Qin's Mansion to visit. Ning Yi also roughly told the ins and outs of what happened in Cuiwei Courtyard yesterday. Today, in fact, they could already hear a few words about Ning Yi from others' mouths.
The Dragon Boat Festival was always lively. The celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival was organized by the government and participated by the royal family. There were also various Courtesan Performances. After returning to Wenhui Building in the evening, everyone gathered together to eat Zongzi.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, time returned to a calm line. This kind of calmness was only the feeling of time and sunlight. As the backbone of everyone, Ning Yi was immersed in his work, so it might be a little dull for everyone. In the past, Ning Yi once said that he would invite people to different teahouses and brothels, but these days he also stopped doing that.
He seemed to be in a hurry. Sometimes he would think for a long time in the yard when he was writing those manuscripts. When Yunzhu, Jin 'er and others came over, they would chat with him with a smile, but they could all feel that Ning Yi was busy during this time. In such a busy and devoted time, he obviously wanted to spare some time to chat with them. This was also a kind of concern. Even Xiaochan restrained herself from chatting too much with Ning Yi recently. Sometimes when Yunzhu or Jin 'er woke up in the middle of the night, they would see the light of the oil lamp in the room in the yard. Sometimes in the morning, Ning Yi came out to practice boxing, but they couldn't tell whether he had gotten up or not.
Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts, so he seemed to be in good spirits.
Yunzhu would also ask him if he was busy, and he would just smile and say that it was almost done.
Ning Yi blocked outside matters. After the news of the poetry meet spread, the owner of Wenhui Restaurant paid a special visit and met with Ning Yi. After that, it was said that some old men from the poetry meet came to apologize, and Ning Yi also met them, but not for long. After that, they were all rejected outside the door.
But in the city of Bianliang, his fame gradually spread. When Ning Yi didn't have time to do everything by himself, everyone in the family was actually doing their own things. Xiaochan, Su Wenyu, and Su Yanping had to decorate the newly bought yard. Yunzhu and Jin 'er also had to tidy up the small yard near the Prime Minister's Mansion. Sometimes when they went out, they could hear about the poetry meet before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Even though the top courtesans performed many good poems in the Dragon Boat Festival performance, the Dragon Boat Festival poems in Bianliang City were still slightly overshadowed by the poetry meet before the festival. Dozens of poems of different styles, together with the complicated story of the poetry meet, were spread among the brothels and teahouses, and the speakers and listeners all enjoyed it. Looking back on the situation in Jiangning, one poem, "When the Moon Appears," and the other poem, "The Scene Behind the Green Jade Desk", suddenly felt that they had achieved the same result by different means. Even in Bianliang, Ning Yi still brought the spirit of a poem that suppressed the whole city.
In such a noisy and lively scene, as the author of the poem, he had been in seclusion in the yard of the inn, completely not synchronized with the outside world, which was quite a complicated and interesting thing to think about. And because of his seclusion, Jin 'er was also a little immersed in this kind of mood.
Of course, there was another thing that made Jin 'er a little depressed these days. That was, Ning Yi occasionally went out and returned quickly, but his destination was always Fan Lou. Obviously, he had a lot of contact with Li Shishi.
Sometimes he went out with Yunzhu to look at things and tidy up the yard. In her mind, there were some things that she didn't say to Ning Yi. She didn't know what exactly she wanted to say, but in the current situation, it seemed that there was no chance to say it.
She couldn't fall asleep at night, and when she woke up this morning, she was a little tired. Sister Yunzhu had an appointment with Yunniang of the Prime Minister's Mansion to go out today, so Jin 'er decided to rest at home for a day. In the morning, after breakfast, Sister Yunzhu, Xiaochan, Su Wenyu and the others went out one after another. She sat under the eaves, watching the gradually brightening sunlight push the light lines under the eaves towards her. The sky was bright and peaceful. Butterflies flew over the eaves in the distance, and the sound of cicadas could be heard. She wore a white dress that imitated Sister Yunzhu's. After walking for a while, she sat down again, not knowing what to do.
She thought of the Jiangning Poetry Meet, the Bianliang Poetry Meet, and the legends about Ning Yi that she had heard. Well, at the beginning, she had also heard of that name. That name was like a legend. At that time, she was still in Golden Wind Restaurant, and even gave money to Sister Yunzhu. At that time, she didn't think that she would one day spend such a peaceful morning here. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hum, "When will the moon be clear … Holding a cup of wine, I ask the blue sky … I wonder in the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight …"
She sat down and lightly danced. Unconsciously, the song became the tune that Ning Yi had sung before. Sister Yunzhu had also sung and performed this song. Sister Yunzhu's character and temperament were most suitable for this song. She was a little jumpy and not very suitable for these slow and unhurried songs. Unexpectedly, when she hummed and sang it today and imitated Sister Yunzhu's dance, she felt very engrossed …
The morning passed leisurely.
She knew that Ning Yi was writing something in the room in the courtyard next door. Only the two of them were left in these two courtyards. Unconsciously, she brought a cup of tea over. Although she could also order the inn's waiter, he would probably forget to call for her. When she went over, Ning Yi probably left temporarily. She pushed open the unlatched door and went over to the study table to change the teapot. As expected, the teapot was already empty. She changed the teapot and saw that the window of the room was closed. The light was a little dim, so she went over to open the window to see what was going on. The wind blew in.
The small stack of papers that Ning Yi had placed on the table fluttered in the wind.
Jin 'er quickly closed the window. Seeing the papers fluttering in the middle of the room, she quickly went to pick them up. She knew that Ning Yi had been very busy writing these things these days. This was bad. After she picked up the papers in the room, there were still a few that were blown out of the room. She ran to the courtyard to pick them up. There was also a piece of paper that was blown in the air to the corridor. She quickly chased after it and leaped over the low railing of the corridor to the other side. She didn't know why, but her legs felt a little sore. She gently leaped up and grabbed the piece of paper, but her body fell down. Her head hit the wood of the opposite railing with a loud bang.
It was a little painful, but fortunately, it was not serious. She was thinking in her heart when she suddenly heard Ning Yi's voice. "What's wrong?" Ning Yi, who appeared on the other side, quickly ran over.
Jin 'er climbed up from the ground and raised the papers in her hand. She gave him an awkward smile. "I wanted to change the tea for you, but they were accidentally blown away. I picked them up and brought them back. Don't scold me."
Her body was halfway up. When she half-knelt and wanted to exert her strength, she couldn't exert any strength. The scene in front of her swayed. She didn't know what happened, but before her body completely collapsed, Ning Yi came over and hugged her. "What are you doing …" She heard that he was a little fierce.
"I said I'm sorry … Don't scold me …" She thought. She wanted to say this sentence …
*****
She didn't think that this song, 'When the Bright Moon Appears', would actually be suitable for Jin 'er. However, when she was writing today, she thought of some of the plots between Ning Yi and Jin' er in the past. She unconsciously hummed it. It was as if she saw a girl in an ancient white dress softly humming and dancing under the eaves in front of her. She hoped that the feeling of loneliness and coldness was still written.
The word 'love' was the most hurtful. This sentence should be suitable for Tan Er and Watermelon.
