As the carriage made its way back to the Su mansion, the night market outside the carriage was still as lively as ever. Su Tan'er sat on the seat inside the carriage, her head lowered as she sorted out some papers and documents. The small wooden box containing the documents was placed next to her. The young girl sat cross-legged, looking elegant and graceful. Of course, compared to the three little girls, she was much more mature. Someone who was used to giving orders had her own temperament. As she sorted out the documents, she talked to Ning Yi.
"... If that's the case, I still have to pay my respects to Grandpa tomorrow morning. I won't be going out. As for Husband, please come back as soon as possible after your exercise tomorrow morning … Oh, by the way, the kitchen is preparing the noodles that Husband loves …"
Today was the Shangyuan Dynasty, and she had actually spoken to the Old Grandfather that night. However, with the matter of the Green Jade Case, she would probably have to see him again tomorrow. Su Tan'er couldn't help but laugh after she finished speaking.
"Husband, you're always so unexpected. It's too scary."
After a month of understanding with Ning Yi, she naturally didn't look at Ning Yi the same way she used to. However, the poem tonight was still beyond her expectations. When she first read it, she was stunned for a while, wondering what the limits of this strange Husband's abilities were. However, after meeting Ning Yi, she didn't show any signs of surprise. At this time, she was sorting out the documents and talking softly. Her attitude was calm. Of course, she didn't look at Ning Yi. Instead, she quietly tidied up the documents. It was just a small way for her to not let her emotions fluctuate too much.
On the way back to the Su mansion, they passed through many courtyards. Su Tan'er still had to make a trip to her father's place. It was probably to discuss something with someone that night. She turned to Ning Yi and said, "Husband is still awake, right?"
Ning Yi nodded. Su Tan'er smiled and said, "When I come back, I have something for Husband."
"What is it?"
Su Tan'er blinked and said, "I'm just keeping you in suspense."
She probably didn't have much to say to Su Boyong. After a while, Ning Yi, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor, saw Su Tan'er and the others coming out of the courtyard with lanterns in their hands. At a distance, the figure looked small. Occasionally, the light from the lantern would disappear behind the low walls and trees, and then reappear around the corner. The busiest one was probably the side door slightly to the east. At midnight, carriages and horses would return from there, and the lights would gather there. Then, specks of light would move to various parts of the Su mansion.
The small courtyard was still as quiet as before. There were not many people in the main household and this area was not very lively. After a while, Su Tan'er and the three maids also came back. Light footsteps could be heard from below.
Xiaochan ran down the stairs noisily. When she looked up and saw Ning Yi, she squinted her eyes and made a steamed bun face. Then, she ran into the small room to boil some hot water. Su Tan'er came upstairs with a bundle in her hand. She gently walked to the side of the pillar and pressed the bundle against the railing.
"Looking for him in the crowd for thousands of times, suddenly looking back... that person is in the dim light..." She whispered slowly. After a while, she looked at Ning Yi and smiled, "Xiaochan said that Husband is looking for a powerful female assassin."
"Yes, unfortunately, I lost her."
"Then why is Husband still writing in the dim light?"
Ning Yi shrugged and said, "What can I do? The poem can only be written like this... It's not good to write something like suddenly looking back and the person is gone. It doesn't rhyme. "He was actually quite regretful that the female assassin ran away.
Su Tan 'er covered her mouth lightly and laughed uncontrollably as she leaned on the bundle. She then said, "Sometimes, when I hear you telling me stories, I can vaguely feel it. Could it be that you are really looking forward to becoming a hero?"
"I don't want to be a hero. I just find things like Qigong and Neigong interesting." Ning Yi didn't hide it. He shook his head, then pointed downstairs, "Xiu, she jumped from the bottom to the top, and then punched through a wall. I heard that someone could do that, so I thought it was interesting. Today, I saw that female assassin with Xiao Chan. She was also very powerful. I think she really has this kind of ability. That sudden burst of strength doesn't seem like a normal person."
Su Tan'er nodded and said, "I have also heard about it. It's just that when I went to other places in the past few years, accompanied by Guardian Geng and the others, I occasionally heard about some powerful people in the Green Forest. However, Husband didn't say much about them. Even if they are really villains arrested by the government, they are actually just big and burly men who rely on brute force and ruthlessness. There are also some like Taoist priests who use talismans to deceive people. I have learned some before, so I don't believe it. There are really too few people who practice Neigong and True Power and become like immortals. Moreover, I heard that they have to practice from a young age and can only achieve success after more than ten years. Even if Husband found them now, I'm afraid it's a little too late... "
As she said this, she laughed again. Looking at Ning Yi's expression, she seemed to be taking pleasure in his misfortune. She didn't believe in hearsay. This kind of interesting thing, if she had the chance, she would only give up after getting confirmation. Obviously, Husband wouldn't just listen to it. As for the thousands of times searching for him in the crowd, she just thought that it was Husband who was looking for someone at that time. She didn't care about it anymore and changed the topic.
"Just now, I also heard from Xiaochan that Husband was at the Old Rain Building. Besides Xue Jin, Uncle Chong Hua was also there? At that time, he asked Husband not to refuse and to show his talent? "
What kind of person was Su Tan'er? Hearing Xiaochan mentioning the scene at that time, she naturally understood Su Chong Hua's thoughts. At this time, she got the answer from Ning Yi's smile. She tilted her head and smiled helplessly. Then she turned back and said, "What does Husband think?"
"Hmm?"
"If Husband is not interested in that small academy, I will talk to Uncle Chong Hua tomorrow." Su Tan'er said with a smile, "If Husband likes that small academy, I will talk to Grandpa tomorrow."
The Mountain Head of Yushan Academy was Su Chong Hua, but in fact, it had been secretly managed by Second Uncle Su Zhongkan. In the Su Family, his status was relatively high, but most people still thought that it was a place more inclined to the second branch. In the past, Su Tan'er would not ask Ning Yi about this. But at this time, if Ning Yi was really interested, she was confident that she could ask for it from Grandpa with Ning Yi. Ning Yi shook his head with a smile, "Just teach some books. I can't stand too many troublesome things. You know that I don't like all kinds of invitations."
Su Tan'er nodded, "I have talked to Uncle Chong Hua... In fact, although Uncle Chong Hua is not good at teaching children, he is very good at handling things. He is the Mountain Head, and Husband is also very relaxed there. By the way, this is for Husband... "
After saying that, she handed the bag to Ning Yi.
"What is it?"
"Some clothes, hats, shoes, and socks."
After Su Tan'er finished speaking, she turned around and went downstairs with a smile. Ning Yi looked at it and said, "Oh."
He took the bag downstairs and opened it on the table. It was indeed some clothes, shoes, and socks. He picked it up and looked at it. Xiaochan knocked on the door from outside, then came in sneakily with a wooden basin filled with hot water, and closed the door, "Young Master, wash your face. Ah, did Miss give you the clothes? "
"Yes." Ning Yi walked over to wash his face, and Xiaochan poked his back with her finger, "Young Master, Young Master, did Miss mention the female assassin to you?"
"Did you tell Miss everything?"
"Ah? She didn't? "
Ning Yi washed his face and turned around. Seeing Xiaochan's anxious expression, he smiled, "She did. What are you thinking about?"
"Young Master, think about it. If Miss didn't tell you, doesn't it mean that Miss has kept this matter in her heart? Then Xiaochan shouldn't have said it." At this time, Xiaochan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "But Xiaochan already knew that Miss is not such a character... But next time, young master, don't write such misleading words. Xiaochan hesitated for a long time just now, afraid that Miss would misunderstand, but she didn't dare to explain to Miss that young master has nothing to do with the female assassin, and the words should not be referring to her. If you explain, Miss will think more, but if you don't explain, Miss will think more, then what... Ah..."
The little lass was at a loss at the side, and Ning Yi couldn't help but smile and flicked her forehead, "You think too much."
Xiaochan covered her forehead, "That's right, as a maidservant, you have to think of all aspects. Xiaochan is very smart, hee..." Tonight, the little lass was worried that Ning Yi would run to find the female assassin and get injured. Later, she was conflicted about whether to say it or not, and after she finished talking, she began to feel conflicted about the relationship between Ning Yi and Su Tan'er. At this time, she finally relaxed and praised herself, "Did young master try the clothes?"
"No, I'll try it tomorrow."
"No, this is all made by Miss for young master."
"Eh?" Ning Yi was stunned, and looked at the clothes, "The fabric seems to have been seen a few months ago..."
"Miss started making it a few months ago." Xiaochan unfolded the gown and compared it to Ning Yi's body, "It's a new fabric from last June. At that time, Xiaochan was still measuring young master's size because Miss said that she had to make two sets of clothes for young master every year. However, Miss is often busy, so she can't make it fast, so it's intermittent. Originally, she wanted to give it to young master during the New Year, but a few days ago, she changed the inner lining, and now it's Upper Yuan..."
"She's made two or three sets." Ning Yi pointed to the wardrobe next to him.
"That was made by the weavers in the fu. One set was made by Xiaochan, Juan'er, and Sister Xing'er. This set was made by Miss herself... That's right, young master, sit down and try on the shoes. "
Ning Yi smiled and looked at the gown. Xiaochan squatted there to help him change his shoes, and whispered, "Young master... young master, will young master always remember that Miss left on the day of the wedding?"
Ning Yi looked at her, "What are you thinking about again?"
"No. Actually, Xiaochan thinks that Miss is very good, although... although it's a little bad for young master that time, she didn't know what kind of person young master is at that time. It was very busy in June. Even so, after thinking about it, she also decided to make clothes for young master because they are a family. She said that since she was already son-in-law's wife, it was necessary for her to personally sew two sets of clothes, shoes and socks for son-in-law every year. Actually, Young Miss' needlework isn't too good. Me, Juan 'er and Xing' er's needlework isn't very good either. The clothes that son-in-law wore had some areas that were done by a weaver. But Miss didn't. Sometimes, she pretended to talk casually with the weavers in the fu and the shop, and then asked for some tips, because Miss didn't want people to gossip. Juan'er and Sister Xing'er found it very interesting when they talked about it. So, it took her more than half a year to make these things... "
Ning Yi laughed, looked at the clothes, and then looked at Xiaochan who was squatting there for a long time, and reached out to ruffle her hair, "You can always say good things about your Miss in front of me..."
This time, Xiaochan did not hide. She raised her head and smiled cutely and confidently, "Because Miss is really good."
"I know, I know..."
"I will help young master put away the clothes."
After a while, Xiaochan also left the room, and Ning Yi read a few pages of a book in the room. When he got up and opened the window, the light in the opposite room was still on. The figure of Su Tan'er was busy sorting out the documents and account books, and writing something. A dark shadow was reflected from the window, focused and serious. At the end of the year, it was the busiest time for merchants. This situation would probably continue for a long time...
