Since the new year, the relationship between Ning Yi and Su Tan'er has become more and more natural. Of course, what is natural here is not the "couple" model of this era, but just the relationship model of "two weirdos"
That's all.
After the showdown two years ago, Su Tan'er found a balance for her position for the first time. After she felt at ease, many things became easier. In the past, she always wanted to work hard to maintain the "family" model, but now she doesn't have to do so.
Deliberately; in the past, I always had to actively look for topics at the dinner table, weighing what can be talked about, what will be of interest to the other party, and what needs to be avoided to avoid causing the other party's displeasure. It feels like talking about business, but naturally there is no need to do this now.
, but on the contrary, there are more topics. There is no need to search for them deliberately. You can just talk about them and find them interesting.
Although Ning Yi goes out for a run every morning, the couple often has breakfast at home before going out in different directions. Su Taner takes a carriage while Ning Yi walks lightly. Xiaochan usually faces two problems at this time.
She has a choice, go with the young lady or go with her uncle. Of course, she can also stay at home, but the other two options are obviously more useful. Follow her uncle there, there is nothing to do, but she can listen to his lectures and listen to some stories, and every time she listens to her talk casually
The story is fascinating, and she will think that her uncle is really knowledgeable...
Of course, Su Tan'er has been quite busy recently, as is always the case at the beginning of spring, so Xiaochan still chose to follow the lady. As mentioned before, although she treated Ning Yi and Su Tan'er as innocent and simple, she still wanted to do it.
Things turned out to be quite reliable. What she was responsible for every day was not just to serve people attentively. Once, Ning Yi saw her angrily training people, frowning and being very serious. She was so fierce.
Xun also pointed out the intrigue among several of them: "Don't think I didn't see it!" After arranging a way to make amends, he said a few more words, waving a short ruler in his hand and biting and biting, as if to hit people.
, then looked at the short ruler for a moment, scratched his hair, "Oh no, the ruler the lady wants..." He turned around and said, "Hurry up!" After dismissing everyone, he turned around and ran away with Ning Yi behind him.
Laughing non-stop. She was raised as a manager. Of course, there is no conflict between the two. They are both part of her temperament.
Ning Yi would come home at noon or afternoon, sometimes with Xiao Chan, because Xiao Chan would run to him before get out of class ended at noon. If Xiao Chan didn't go there, he would be alone. Su Tan'er would probably be there after noon. When I came back, sometimes I was in the room, sometimes in the living room, sometimes sitting in the pavilion in the yard. Juan'er and Xing'er sometimes followed, sometimes disappeared. They also had to deal with some trivial matters of the servants in the big house.
Su Tan'er likes to bite her hands when she is thinking about things. Sometimes she bites her fists, sometimes she bites her fingers lightly. Most of them are the expressions she shows when no one is around. One evening when Ning Yi came back, the setting sun set, Su Tan'er
Tan'er was sitting in the pavilion in a goose-yellow skirt, reading a book, her white teeth gently gnawing at the tip of her thumb, and occasionally turning a page. Ning Yi walked over and stood for a while and was about to say hello, Su Tan'er
Suddenly he turned around, still biting his fingertips, and looked at Ning Yi for a moment with his big eyes, feeling a little confused and innocent, then turned back and continued to read the account book quietly.
Seeing that she ignored him, Ning Yi shrugged and walked away boredly, thinking that this woman was really calm. She had not gone far when Su Tan'er shouted from behind: "Mr. sir! You scared me to death!" When he turned around, Su Tan'er
Tan'er looked over with a righteous look and patted her heart with her hand. After a moment, Ning Yi spread his hands wordlessly, and Su Tan'er also laughed angrily.
From returning home, to finishing dinner, having fun in the evening, to finally going to bed, everyone gathers together, chats, and talks about this and that. Sometimes, Ning Yi feels that Su Tan'er is somewhat similar to his former self. Of course,
The specific problems faced will be different, and the mood and confusion will be different. Sometimes he thinks that the problems Su Tan'er faces may be more severe than his own. She is a woman. If there is a man in the Su family who is smarter and more capable,
Things would be very simple. If she were dumber, things would also be very simple. But she is in this gap, so she can only move forward, and she has to face the problems caused by her female identity from time to time.
Sometimes they would "encounter" by chance by the pillar on the second floor. About every few days, they would look at the scenery of the entire Su family mansion together. Su Tan'er would talk about some random things, some of which could not be seen by others.
What she said in front of her, even if she said it in front of Chan'er, Juan'er and the others, was not good. The main reason was that it was meaningless, or it was some of her business plans, some proud little calculations, and some of her parents were short-lived. A cousin just came to her.
They extorted hundreds of taels of silver here, saying that if they saw some good porcelain, the price would definitely go up. Su Taner gave the money with a smile, turned around and told Ning Yi that the guy had a woman outside, biting his finger and said: "
You can threaten him in the future, or else tell your sister-in-law and let her go make trouble..."
Su Tan'er is very smart and talented in business, but after all, she is only nineteen years old. She often has nowhere to complain about the pressure she faces. Ning Yi may be the only one who can give her space to relieve her pressure.
In her opinion, this husband understood part of what she said, but he might not be able to understand everything. Ning Yi sometimes said a few things that she didn't understand, and she just listened. At such moments, even if Ning Yi spoke with words
No matter how weird it is, no matter how incomprehensible what it says, she won't be surprised.
There is one thing that is quite strange. Perhaps he gave her a preserved egg when they chatted together for the first time. After the second chat, Su Taner was hesitant to speak, and then asked: "Didn't your husband bring anything to eat?"
?” and then said, “Bring something to eat next time.”
After that, I gave her some food, a small bag of sugar, peanuts, candied dates, etc. The Su family was not short of money, so there was no pressure to provide these things. There were also pears, which were hard to eat this season. One time, Ning Yi took one.
At the end of winter and early spring, the weather was cold and as cold as beef jerky. Su Tan'er didn't mind, she took it and tore it slowly in her mouth. After eating, she was satisfied. Then she said, "My husband must have done it on purpose."
In February, the topic became more casual. They seemed like very strange friends in this era. One was doing business and the other was making some eccentric inventions. Once Su Tan'er asked Ning Yi: "Why does my husband never go to those places?"
In the land of brothels, where are the invitations from those talented people?"
Ning Yi shrugged: "I only know a few poems, but I can't pick up girls..."
Su Tan'er thought about it for a long time before she roughly understood this sentence, and laughed: "Throw money at them, those cousins, they extort dozens of taels from Tan'er every time, and they are all patronizing.
Some famous people. My husband took a few hundred taels, plus his talent, Qilan, Lu Caicai and the others. It would be no problem to meet them a few times... By the way, after the New Year's Eve, I heard people say
That girl, Qilan, is quite enamored of her husband. There are several nights when she sings her husband's sapphire case every night. The sound of the piano is melodious and sad. Maybe, my husband will be able to have a good relationship with her..."
She rolled her eyes and glanced at Ning Yi. Ning Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Is there such a thing? Then I'll go there tomorrow night... It's not easy for people after all..."
Su Tan'er ate broad beans that night. She glanced at him coldly, then crunched them for a long time, then smiled and said, "Then my husband, please take Xiao Chan with you."
Ning Yi is not short of money, mainly because he can always ask for it from Xiao Chan. He doesn't use much, and Su Tan'er doesn't have any opinions on these matters. But even if Xiao Chan is well-behaved, if Ning Yi really goes to recruit prostitutes,
You can imagine which side Xiao Chan will take. Even if she doesn't say anything on the surface, it will definitely cause trouble. At this time, she sighed: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise...you woman
You are not honest at all, but you are not honest at all. Return the broad beans to me and you are not allowed to eat them!"
Su Tan'er took the small bag and stepped away abruptly, smiling like a fox: "Tan'er has been doing business for several years, and I have never heard of a businessman who is truly honest. Please bear with me, sir."
February passed in such an ordinary day for Ning Yi. The students, Nie Yunzhu, Xiaochan, Su Taner, chemical engineering, sometimes met Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang, and chatted for a while.
Learn about Song Xian and Wu Liejun's situation through other channels. He recalled the woman's martial arts, but the female assassin also disappeared after the New Year's Eve.
In early March, the Su family's business was also busy, but Su Tan'er still found a day to go on an outing outside Jiangning City with Ning Yi and three maids. When she came back that afternoon, she went to a teahouse to drink tea, and she accidentally heard something coming from next door.
Several people dressed as students were talking about preserved eggs, saying that the woman who now sells preserved preserved eggs is a beautiful woman with great talents, but she only wants to support herself with her hands. She has figured out how to make preserved preserved eggs, and a talented man admires her character.
I have been pursuing it for several years, but now I implemented a small plan, and within half a month, I opened up sales for that novel thing.
In fact, although Nie Yunzhu is busy nowadays, it is impossible for the reputation of preserved eggs to spread far. At this time, several people were talking about the "little plan", and it was he who asked Li Pin to help find someone to take care of him.
Things. It was funny in my heart. I don’t know how Li Pin got involved with Nie Yunzhu for this matter, and he still pursued it for several years. He acted too carelessly, and now Li Pin got very angry. But after listening for a while, he realized that the matter was not
in this way.
"This Gu Hong and Gu Yanzhen have become famous in Jiangning a few years ago. It is for this woman that he came back from Tokyo this time. Now that he has achieved fame, he still has a deep love for her, which is really rare..."
"The techniques used are also clever, and it only takes a few days to solve the problem... A talented man and a beautiful woman, given time, will become a good story."
"I think otherwise. That woman is not a good match for her to be in the public eye and run this kind of business..."
After listening for a while, I realized that all these people were discussing was the man named Gu Hong and Gu Yanzhen. Recalling Nie Yunzhu's question that seemed to have some meaning a few days ago, he thought of something and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Before dawn the next day, when he arrived in front of the small building, Nie Yunzhu sat on the steps waiting for him as usual. When he saw him coming, he showed a smile that was no different from usual. Ning Yi looked at her for a while and rubbed her face slightly.
Forehead: "Are you tired recently?"
"Huh?" Nie Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in confusion.
Ning Yi sat down next to him, thinking about the words: "Why... didn't you tell that Gu Yanzhen clearly and ask him to... stop the matter?"
The morning wind in the darkness was chilly, and there was silence in front of the small building. After a moment, Nie Yunzhu's voice came from the side: "Li Heng...how could...Li Heng...why...ask this..."
"Well, I just heard about it...that Gu Yanzhen..." Ning Yi spread his hands, not knowing how to express himself.
"I...I, I have nothing to do with that Gu Yanzhen...they are talking nonsense...Li Heng...uh...I..."
There seemed to be something wrong with Nie Yunzhu's voice. Ning Yi turned around and looked over. In the darkness, there was only light coming from one side of the house. In the light, the woman's expression seemed a little angry. She wanted to emphasize something but couldn't grasp the key point.
Ning Yi looked at it for a long time, finding it difficult to understand, and said slowly: "Well, I understand..."
Nie Yunzhu glanced at him, frowning as if he was about to cry, but then he took a deep breath, looked at Ning Yi seriously, and emphasized every word.
