After nightfall, the servants who received the order left one after another, and the torches that were lit one after another to deal with the aftermath of the fire were also put out. The courtyard that originally had two small buildings now only has one of them left. With the lights on at this time, it became more...
The past days were brighter and warmer.
After dinner, until around midnight, the visiting relatives actually continued to come over one after another, asking about the situation of the fire and asking after each other. There were also maids or followers following these people. They were not qualified to come in and sit, but it was still very lively to gather nearby.
During the day, everyone gathered together and watched a large number of people busy cleaning up the fire scene. There was still an atmosphere of regret after the disaster. In the evening, after asking about the fact that no one was injured in the fire, everyone felt happy and like a party.
The mentality was average. The parents had a brief chat, and some said that Ning Yi and Su Tan'er should have moved to another yard. After the fire, everyone felt a little happy when they got together.
Also, the Su family is not short of money for this house. If it burns, it will burn. Since no one was hurt, then this is nothing more than a small accident. The owner doesn’t care much, and everyone doesn’t need to
Too much thought was put into this matter, so more and more people came to visit, and it was just a small gathering in the living room.
In fact, the reason why Su Tan'er chose to live in this courtyard now was just a temporary liking when she was a girl. Theoretically speaking, she is now in charge of the affairs of the big house. After annexing various things handed over by the Wu family,
It is expected that the business managed by his subordinates will reach half of the entire Su family's. This yard is not suitable as a place to live.
This courtyard has a somewhat unique layout, and there is nothing uncomfortable about living in it. It is just that it seems a little unattractive in terms of hospitality. Everyone also thinks that Su Tan'er will take advantage of this time to choose another courtyard to live in, and everyone is talking about it.
They chatted about these things and expressed their own opinions.
Some atmospheres may only be felt by a few specific people.
Su Tan'er chatted happily with the relatives who came and left, and she was full of laughter, but in fact she was a little absent-minded. She only responded with formulaic expressions. Of course, there are probably not many people in the Su family who can feel this.
Ning Yi was just like usual. A group of relatives came over, and he was always polite. He and Su Tan'er entertained these people, chatting with everyone about the style of the house, as if nothing happened.
It happens often, sometimes I even take out pen, ink and paper to write, draw and design.
Due to the large number of people coming, Chan'er, Juan'er, Xing'er and three others would come in and out from time to time, carrying fruits, serving tea, greeting the people who came, and also being responsible for arranging the followers and maids who came over in the yard next door. They were in the yard next door.
The family is no different from a manager-level person, so at this time, it is natural for them to be at ease and in order.
It seems that everything is business as usual and there is really no problem.
Just like last year when the weather got colder at the end of the year, everyone would gather in the living room. Su Tan'er would look at the account books, or do embroidery with the maids, listen to Ning Yi's stories, and everyone would play chess and chat together.
When guests came, the three maids served tea. Everything was the same as today, perfectly normal. However, today there was a fire after all.
If everything is too normal, sometimes it will create an inexplicable sense of dissonance. Others may not be able to feel it, but as time goes by, at least in the hearts of Chan'er, Juan'er, Xing'er and others, there will be some strange feelings.
The questions and ideas are there.
No one said anything about the aftermath.
It does not refer to the aftermath. The Su family is not short of money, and Su Tan'er is not short of money. Burning a building is not a big problem, so others will not find it weird. But in any case, that small building
was burned down. Ning Yi and Xiaochan’s residence was burned down, and the kitchen and bathroom were also affected. Theoretically speaking, even if they didn’t care, they would still have to explain something. However, no one mentioned this.
thing.
Some of Xiaochan's things have been moved to the room next to Juan'er, but Su Tan'er did not express her opinion on whether she will live in this room in the future. Of course, she herself has some power over this matter. Originally, the room
Many things were burned, so she could secretly ask the servants to bring them over directly. What to do with the kitchen and bathroom in the future? Most importantly, where should Ning Yi stay tonight? No one mentioned this
.
Su Tan'er, who has always been a comprehensive leader in the past, did not show a clear attitude towards anything after the fire tonight. She was just socializing with visiting relatives. Ning Yi himself did not ask any questions. He was still the same as before.
With his attitude, when he wanted to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones, he still went to Su Tan'er's room to find them - at this time, his belongings had piled up the room in a mess. When he came to look for it, he even asked Xing'er to help: "They moved in
Where did I put my pen, ink, paper and inkstone when I went to work..." I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.
Su Tan'er's current room is the biggest feeling of dissonance. Where should things be moved? There is no mention of it. After dark, the time is gradually getting late, and Su Tan'er always has to go to bed tonight.
Yes, these things are piled up here. She seems to have forgotten what to do. Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er probably thought about asking, but after thinking about it, some strange feelings and emotions emerged in their hearts.
The guessing started, and in the end, everyone could only make eye contact, murmur in their hearts, and have complicated emotions, but no one asked any questions. Everyone was busy silently, whitewashing the peace.
It was half past Haishi, and the people who came to visit had gone back one after another. After the surrounding area became quiet, the three maids tidied up the room and cleaned it. When they came back after having nothing to do, Su Tan'er was talking to Ning Yi
They played backgammon as a pastime. The three maids looked a little weird and sat there bored for a while. Then Xing'er drank tea, Juan'er worked as a hostess, and Chan'er boredly counted the stitches on Juan'er's insole, and then the three of them
He also found a deck of cards made from bamboo slices to play with.
Su Tan'er lowered her head and did not talk to Ning Yi. She only remembered something occasionally and asked the three maids if they had entertained a certain relative when they came over just now. Xing'er and Juan'er answered in a low voice. "Chessboard"
On the top, the couple patiently blocked each other's chess pieces in a style they had not used for a long time, and they were enjoying the blocking. They were absentmindedly playing with bamboo tiles, and the three girls reported a number for each card they played, which sounded quite interesting.
It's a bit cute. Something may happen tonight. Because of this possibility and complexity, the three maids are somewhat uneasy.
The only time everyone was relatively friendly was when Ning Yi asked Chan'er if a lot of things were burned. Chan'er replied that nothing valuable was burned. Ning Yi estimated that she might have some jewelry burned. Or clothes that I like very much. Su Tan'er said that she would buy them for Chan'er in the future.
The atmosphere was strange, and time became a bit unbearable. Chaner, Juaner, and Xinger would go out sometimes, fetch hot water, make tea, and so on, and occasionally have a few conversations in the room. Time gradually came to midnight. , I don’t know what will happen next. The host didn’t sleep, and he didn’t tell them to leave, and they couldn’t leave. But it looked like Su Tan’er and Ning Yi could enjoy their stay until tomorrow morning.
In fact, Su Tan'er didn't have the nerve to wave her hands and say: "You guys go to sleep." The more time passed, the more uneasy she felt.
Then, after midnight, the bell rang, and the surrounding yards became quieter. Today was actually quite busy. Myolie, who was playing cards, couldn't help but yawned. Ning Yi glanced at her, Su Tan Er also looked over and finally said: "Well, Myolie, you are tired too, go to bed first." After she finished saying this, she held the chess piece in her hand, lowered her head and continued to act like she was concentrating on thinking about chess. The three maids stood up to talk, prepared to leave, and packed tea and other things. Ning Yi tilted his head and greeted them one by one with a smile. Amid these movements, Su Tan'er's mood calmed down a little. .
Chan'er, Juan'er, and Myolie all walked out of the room. The figures in the corridor seemed to be doing the work they had arranged before going to bed. Another chess game was played. Ning Yi got up and went to the toilet in the yard next door. He came back. At that time, I met Chan'er walking on the road. She was somewhat silent, holding a copper basin in her hand, but that was not silence caused by loss or depression. The girl's expression was a bit complicated, which maybe she couldn't handle yet. Some emotions, when seeing Ning Yi, let out a soft "Ah".
"Didn't you say you were going to sleep?"
"The basin is gone, so I went to get one." Chan'er lowered her head.
The two of them walked towards the courtyard gate. After a while, Ning Yi didn't know what he thought of and laughed softly. Chan'er looked at him and he was still laughing. He seemed to be amused by today's events. Then, Chan'er couldn't help but laugh softly. When she walked to the courtyard gate, she called in a low voice: "Uncle..."
"Um?"
Chan'er looked at him: "My uncle wants to... uh, my uncle wants to..." I don't know what she wants to say, but after thinking about it for a moment, the little maid smiled and shook her head: "I won't say anything anymore." She hugged her face. Pen ran to his room.
In fact, Su Tan'er's mood has been anxious. The more time goes by, the more anxious she becomes. It's like the mood when waiting for the dust to settle on a big business, but she is a proficient in business, but she is completely unfamiliar with this kind of thing. With.
She had been a little shy the whole day, but she didn't dare to think about what happened when the arson was discovered. In any case, she couldn't predict the next result. She didn't know if the arsonist would be able to summarize these emotions, no I don't know what will happen next, what kind of conversation there will be, and I don't know if the husband will suddenly say: "Where will I stay tonight?" If he really asks, how should I answer?
All kinds of messy moods, but now she can only walk. After Ning Yi left for a while, she sat there feeling uneasy, then got up and walked back and forth a few steps, not knowing what to do. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Seeing that a potted plant behind the dining room screen seemed to be short of water, I couldn't help walking over and pouring all the tea into it. After pouring it, I realized that the tea was hot, so I quickly found cold water to neutralize it. During this process, Ning Yi
The sound of footsteps has also returned.
She took a breath and went back with the tea cup. She was wondering how long she would have to play backgammon, but she found that Ning Yi had already walked to the bedroom, seeming to be worried about a lot of furniture that had been crammed in.
Su Tan'er put down her teacup and walked over: "Mr.
"Tsk." Ning Yi smiled, "These things have made the room a mess. Let's clean it up."
Various tables, chairs and items crowded the room into chaos, mainly because some small things, baggage, boxes and the like were placed on Su Tan'er's table and stools when they moved in, so now they are all mixed together.
, no one said anything about cleaning up after that. Su Tan'er nodded: "Okay, okay."
She passed by the cabinet that was a bit blocked and moved a chair. Ning Yi had already walked in and started to collect his personal belongings. Su Tan'er also opened some bags and took out Ning Yi's clothes.
Sort it out and occasionally pass the things at hand to Ning Yi.
"The Analects of Confucius, Mencius..."
"The manuscript of the lecture..."
"Guangyuanzhai's jade pendant, tsk, this one is still there..."
"These drawings... should be useless."
"Well, there should be another copy of this, where is it..."
"Whose fan is this? Mine?"
Although Ning Yi is relatively indifferent to material desires, there are still many of these things at this time. When the two got married, although Su Tan'er had escaped from the marriage, under the instructions of the old lady, she still prepared various arrangements.
Various things were later given by various people, or collected by Ning Yi himself. At this time, the two of them were sorting them out in a small space, sorting them out bit by bit, and it took a lot of time.
Su Tan'er sat back on her bed and looked at this boudoir, which no longer looked like a boudoir. Half of the space was actually occupied by Ning Yi's things.
"We can't put these big items away tonight." Ning Yi put a chair in front of the desk, "Let's ask someone to sort it out tomorrow."
"Yes." Su Tan'er nodded. For a moment, she felt the edge of the bed beside her shake, and her body suddenly trembled. Ning Yi also sat down next to her.
Ning Yi didn't come to her room for a long time. The most time in the past was when she was sick. But even then, if he wanted to sit next to her, he would bring a stool over and sit on it. This is her embroidery
In the past, the bed had only had her breath, or she had stayed with cousin Danhong for a few nights. But at this time, the presence of a man suddenly came closer.
Ning Yi's attitude was calm, and it seemed that he was just sitting down after packing his things. Su Tan'er's heart beat faster, and she shrank her shoulders for a moment to avoid looking to the side. The sound of the clock outside sounded, and it was already past midnight. Ning Yi's attitude was calm.
Yi looked around and laughed.
"This new house is really bad."
Su Tan'er turned her head. In her field of vision, Ning Yi had already leaned over and put his hand on her cheek.
"It's getting late." Their lips were about to touch each other, "Leave it to me..."
"Well……"
There was no word "happy", no red candle, and in the light of the oil lamp, two figures joined together. With their lips touching, Su Tan'er's eyes became slightly blurred, and she raised her hands, not knowing whether she wanted to hug them.
The husband in front of her still wanted to push her away because she couldn't breathe, but after shaking her for several times, she didn't dare to do anything and just held her up in the air. Soon after, her body was slowly pushed down by Ning Yi.
On the bed.
"Ah... the door, the door is not closed..."
A few seconds after her lips left, Su Tan'er regained consciousness and suddenly said these words in a panic. Ning Yi leaned over her and looked back. The master bedroom was connected to the living room. They were playing backgammon earlier. This time
Suddenly, not only was the bedroom door open, the door outside was also open, and the light was on. He scratched his hair, laughed softly and said, "I'll close it." He walked to the living room, closed the door, and blew out the light.
Su Tan'er was lying there, breathing rapidly, her chest heaving, her eyes looking at the top of the mosquito net, her hands lightly making fists and folded over her heart. At this time, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't dare to move for a while. Listen.
Ning Yi went to close the door and turned off the lights outside. When she came back, she was still like this, and she didn't know how red her face was. Ning Yi sat by the bed, grabbed one of her hands, and she let it go.
The other party grabbed it.
In short, since Ning Yi has said to leave it to him, this is the attitude that he decided to let others control him throughout the night.
Ning Yi leaned over, always feeling a little strange, mainly because Su Tan'er was too nervous at this time. He turned back to look at the layout of the "new house", and then said to Su Tan'er,
After a few kisses on the face, Su Tan'er just blushed and didn't dare to move. He couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, will there be some ceremony or something, such as drinking some wine... or some tea?
That’s fine, or what happens when other people get married..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Tan'er remembered something and whispered "Ah": "White, white cloth..." She quickly got up, ran to her cabinet and rummaged through the cabinets, and then took a small piece of cloth from the bottom.
When the folded white cloth came out, his face turned even redder, and he walked to the bed: "Mr. Sir..."
"I think this feeling is really strange." Ning Yi smiled, removed the quilt from the bed for Su Tan'er, and spread the white cloth in the center of the bed. Su Tan'er lowered her head: "I, I feel pretty weird too.
Weird." She couldn't help laughing as she said this, but she still couldn't suppress the shyness on her face.
"But it's time to consummate the marriage."
Su Tan'er didn't dare to respond to what Ning Yi said with a smile. She sat on the edge of the bed. After a while, she took off her moon-white embroidered shoes and moved to the bed. She was wearing a white and green dress today. After taking off her shoes,
Her feet were in the hem of the skirt. At this time, she was sitting there with her body bent, actually looking at the white cloth a little worried. According to her plan, she should lie on the white cloth, close her eyes and bite her teeth, and be tormented by her husband one-sidedly all night long.
The marriage was consummated, but after the behavior of laying out the white cloth just now, she seemed to feel that it would be very lewd to actively lie on it now, gritting her teeth and closing her eyes, and hesitated to lie down on it. After a while, Beiqi bit her lower lip:
"Ms. sir, turn off the lights..."
Ning Yi nodded, blew out the oil lamp, and the room became dark. After the light went out, Su Tan'er finally felt less nervous. She put down the mosquito net. After Ning Yi went up, he put down the other side. Soon, everything was full inside.
The voice rang out.
"Mr. Xianggong...what should we do..."
"I want to say just relax, but it seems you can't relax for the time being..."
"Very, very strange..."
"You should think of it this way. We will live together in the future, and it will be like this every day... Who asked you to marry me?"
"Well, I... I'm actually very happy... um..."
moment.
"Do you want to take off your clothes?"
"Usually you have to take it off, there's nothing you can do about it..." Xixi asked and untied his belt.
"Hmm...that's weird..." He closed his eyes and endured it.
The belt was thrown to the ground outside the mosquito net, and then the coat was taken off and pulled out from under the body. Ning Yi lifted the quilt to cover the two of them.
"Uh... ha..." It sounded like a cry. Ning Yi's hand touched the skin on Su Tan'er's back. His wife arched her body slightly, but after a moment, she whispered "Ah."
: "Reverse, reverse..." Ning Yi was stunned for a long time, and then he hugged her body and laughed. Su Tan'er felt the feeling of their bodies touching each other, but she felt less shy, and then she also smiled in surprise.
A voice: "What should I do..."
She originally tied a tie on her bellyband with a slip knot, but Ning Yi pulled it in the wrong direction, and now it was pulled into a tight knot. Su Tan'er blushed, thinking about the embarrassing scene of lying here and letting Ning Yi unbuckle her.
Maybe I have to light a lamp. But Ning Yi is an open-minded person, so he ignores his bellyband and starts to move on to the next step. Su Tan'er grabbed the sheets with both hands, closed her eyes and was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to speak out, and let the other party do it.
The long white skirt was thrown out of the tent, followed shortly by the close-fitting underpants. She originally wanted to reach out and at least grab this piece to prevent it from being thrown out, but her husband did so anyway, put his slender legs together, and
Time almost cried.
The last bellyband was pulled directly off by both hands. After the clothes left the mosquito net, Su Tan'er's whole body was hot. She just grabbed the sheets with her hands. She even felt that the white cloth under her body was a little crooked, and she didn't dare to stretch out her hand to straighten it.
, his eyes were tightly closed. Ning Yi also took off his clothes, but he deliberately made the process very long to let the other party get used to this feeling. This time, he felt that almost everything was done according to stupid steps.
For fun.
Soon after, the two bodies were pressed together...
"Let's study together what to do next..."
This was a casual joke as a couple. Unexpectedly, Su Tan'er closed her eyes and nodded slightly: "Well..." The voice was as thin as a mosquito or a fly, but of course it was audible.
The night was deep, and there was no moonlight in the sky outside. Even the stars seemed to have covered their eyes in shame at this scene and hid behind the clouds. The night was still long, and there were many, many things waiting for them next.
Go and study. In the dim light in the distance, a light flashed across the field of vision, blinking gently... ro
