I walked past the poetry meeting in the back room with a towel and saw Myolie secretly eating candy.
It's actually a bit inappropriate to say that she eats on the sly. As the eldest maid in the family, she is also the de facto housekeeper. Myolie manages the money and accounts, and she also has twelve taels of gold. With these thirty-fifty taels of silver, she can buy one.
In the age of servants, coupled with the red envelope rewards on various festivals, and the extra money of this kind, if it were put outside, today's Xing'er would definitely be a little rich woman that others are competing for. She has a certain amount of capital to eat any good food she wants.
But no matter what, it looked like she was eating on the sly.
What I took out from the cabinet was not a very expensive candy. Ning Yi remembered that it seemed to be a piece of halva that I bought randomly when I went to the street not long ago. It tasted bad. After tasting it, Ning Yi lost much interest. Now Myolie
Just eating it. Holding the long candy bar, she looked around furtively, then put it in her mouth and bit off a piece, chewing hard, making a bouncing sound, making her look like
It was a squirrel. After eating one, he wiped his mouth carefully. Then he couldn't help but look at the bag in the cabinet, looked around, and took out one...
It seems that this is not the first time I have seen a similar situation. I have never paid much attention to it before, but now I find it interesting. The expression is too weird. Looking back now, as the maid next to Su Tan'er, Xing
Her character has a shrewd side, but she is not as spicy as Wang Xifeng. When she becomes a maid, she has to follow internal rules. In front of Chan'er and Juan'er, she is her elder sister. The main thing to manage things in the house is to be calm. Of course, in
In Ning Yi's eyes, she is just a girl, and she is not much different from Chan'er Juan'er. It's just that she is rarely seen eating snacks in front of others. She must have never seen her before. Her attitude is that she has always been a maid.
Various things to do.
The last time I saw her sitting and eating snacks, I didn't think much about it. Then I realized that there seemed to be no one around that time. Seeing that she was having fun eating, Ning Yi walked away from the window and took a new towel to take a shower.
After returning to the room after taking a shower, Su Tan'er sat by the window and read a letter. It was a letter from home that Jiang Ning had recently delivered. Ning Yi sat at another desk and looked out the window in a daze. Because of the room, the two of them were in a daze.
People's tables are not placed opposite each other, but in a row in front of the window. Ning Yi occasionally thought, "It looks like his deskmate in elementary school, so he turned his head and looked at Su Tan'er, who was wearing plain white clothes.
She is wearing a skirt, her hair is tied up at the back of her head, and the untied hair flows down to her shoulders. Her skin is fair, and her profile is beautiful and confident.
It would have been great if I had had a deskmate like this when I was in school. Su Taner turned her head and looked at him: "Ms. sir, what's the matter?"
Damn, if that female deskmate still calls him "Ms.-in-law..."
This feels so good...
Ning Yi raised his hand at the junction of the two tables: "That side is yours, this side is mine, don't cross the line."
Su Tan'er blinked in confusion, and then whispered: "What?"
"It's nothing. In the school, everyone puts the tables together, and then they don't allow each other to cross the line. It's very interesting."
Su Tan'er thought about it and smiled: "The tables in Yushan Academy are obviously separate, and the girls' tables are not next to the boys' tables..."
Ning Yi rolled his eyes at her and pulled out the hairpin that fixed her hair. The long hair flowed down immediately. Su Tan'er glared and quickly started to tidy it up: "It's very hot when you put it down..." A hand went to Ning Yi.
I was trying to grab a hairpin here, but I couldn't get it several times, so I had to find a hairpin and tie it up. Ning Yi looked at her white neck exposed after her hair was raised up, like a swan.
"By the way, I just saw Xing'er eating sweets over there. Does Xing'er like to eat halva?"
"Ah? My husband, have you seen it?" Su Tan'er said with a smile while tying her hair.
"you know?"
"Well, that girl Xing'er is quite slanderous."
"You can't tell it normally."
"Of course you can't tell, she is serious when there are people around." Su Tan'er smiled, "Mr., you don't know, she was kidnapped and sold by a trafficker when she was a child. The trafficker took a candy and kidnapped her.
She was young at that time and could not remember her home. Later she tried to search and found the Yapo who bought the person from the trafficker, but the trafficker could not be found, so the clue was lost.
"Well…"
Ning Yi was speechless for a moment, but Su Tan'er tilted her head and continued speaking with interest.
"Not many people know about her slander. I only found out after getting along with her for a long time, and Chan'er Juan'er should also know. She was the first to follow me. In the early days, she still liked eating sweets. Later, someone said that she
She was kidnapped while eating sweets. She knew she was shy and ate them only when everyone was hiding."
"Oh, I was kidnapped because of my slander..."
Ning Yi repeated it and couldn't help but laugh. Among the three maids, the one Ning Yi had the most contact with was only Chan'er. The real close relationship between them was actually in the six months after consummating their marriage with Su Tan'er, so for
Ning Yi still didn't know much about Xing'er and Juan'er's private affairs. At this time, the two gossiped for a while and then talked about the poetry meeting at the beginning of autumn tomorrow.
Xiaoyingzhou is actually the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon on the West Lake. It is a well-known tourist destination at this time and in later generations. I sent Qian Xiwen’s post, so I will definitely go there tomorrow. In addition, Xiaoyingzhou will be there tomorrow afternoon.
In Hangzhou, it was not just poets who went there. Since the prefect took the lead, not only literati but also officials and some well-connected merchants went there. Su Tan'er followed her there so that she could increase her presence in Hangzhou's business community.
"It's just that Mr. Qian sent the invitation at this time. Could it be because Mr. Chang Qishi was at that time?"
When Shi Changqi visited for the first time, Su Tan'er only thought that this was Ning Yi's friend, so she behaved politely and came out to say hello and serve refreshments. This was why Shi Changqi could not detect anything wrong with the couple.
, when I was arguing with others later, I didn’t believe that Ning Yi was the bride-in-law at all. Although Su Taner was not at home for the second time, she heard about it later. At this time, I thought of it and asked Ning Yi.
It's just a smile.
"There must be curiosity, but it's just a matter of saying hello and saying a few words. To be honest, you can't take it seriously. That guy Lao Qin didn't have any good intentions when he asked me to deliver the letter. He probably just wanted to beat him.
Let me tell you. He is not targeting you or me, but it is inevitable to be resentful about some things."
Su Tan'er knew what Ning Yi was referring to, and she also knew that "that guy" in her husband's mouth was now the right minister. It was strange to think about it. She nodded and whispered! "Actually, Mr. Qin is right.
My husband, you are really kind, I know that."
"Well, so when I get back, I'm afraid I will go to Beijing." Ning Yi said lightly, not taking this as a big deal. "Of course, I have to wait for you to handle the business in Hangzhou first.
When I go to Beijing, I must take you with me. You can argue with me, but I will insist.
When he said this, Su Tan'er looked at him and blinked a little heartily. She didn't know what to say for a while. Ning Yi looked out the window and shrugged: "Of course, you can also go to the capital to continue running your business.
I will help you when necessary." Su Tan'er lowered her head, and then shook her head: "My husband, if you say this before coming to Hangzhou, we will not come to Hangzhou, and it will be the same when we go to Beijing." She thought for a while,
Then he said, "But after I go to Beijing, I won't run a business or anything like that. Let Wen Ding Wenfang and the others do it. As an official's family member, doing this in public will affect your work... And my husband, if you become an official, you may not be able to do this."
Let’s go to the capital.”
Su Tan'er's desire to control the family is actually not as high as most people imagine. Now that her husband is respected enough to be an official, she can naturally give in. And since she has to give in, she also knows in her heart.
If Ning Yi really became an official, he would no longer be able to do business. At this time, he took the initiative to say it. However, Ning Yi shook his head and did not think the same as her.
"Don't be so exaggerated as you think. I'm not an official." He explained calmly. "After I go to Beijing, I may ask Mr. Qin to help me get a decent status. In fact, a scholar is enough, not a scholar. I plan to be a scholar at most."
As an aide, I come up with ideas and generally do some planning, which is different from when I was chatting in Jiangning. Once I do these things, I will do them seriously, but I am just a talker, gossiping, and holding the right minister's thigh to offer my support.
Slanderous talk or something, haha."
Ning Yi smiled: "As for trivial matters like going to a certain place to be a county magistrate or something like that, I have no plans to do it. I don't want to get involved in that system, scheming, kneeling and worshiping. That's my original intention."
It doesn’t work out. I can only give my opinion at most, and let Lao Qin make his own judgment on whether to adopt it as a reference. Maybe it’s useless for me to talk on paper, so I still have to come back. As for you, it won’t be affected too much.”
"Ning Liheng..."
Su Tan'er lowered her head and said Hua's name, and Ning Yi laughed: "Your voice has changed. I knew this passage would move you to tears. It doesn't matter if you cry. It will make me very happy."
I feel a sense of accomplishment. Look, I’ll give you a shoulder to lean on..."
After Hua said this, Su Tan'er couldn't help but laugh again, and reached out to hit him: "Others can't be officials, so if you want to be a staff member, you always have to take advantage of others' power to gain a position in the end.
Origin. You can obviously be an official, but you always want to be a human being..."
"I have concluded that among all the professions, only staff are the most leisurely. They have more money and less responsibility. When you have an idea, you go out and say something. If you don't have an idea, most people don't expect you much. And just talking is enough.
Yes, success or failure is determined by others. Those who always think about being an official are stupid. Being an official requires responsibility and a lot of pressure. You always drink coffee and have insomnia. You have a beard and have a bad temper. You can't have sex.
Girl…………”
Of course, if you really want to be a staff member, it's more than that. However, Ning Yi's unambitious talk and nonsense made Su Tan'er just laugh. She didn't even pay attention to terms like coffee. Anyway, Ning Yi usually has a lot of people.
A mess of vocabulary. Not long after, Xing'er came over and asked the two of them to go out for dinner. The sun was setting, and some birds were flying in the sky. Su Tan'er raised her head in the yard, and there was only a slender cloud in the sky.
It was dyed red in the sunset.
The sky is really sunny, she thought as she stroked her hair beside her ears.
The next afternoon, the family went out. Ning Yi, his wife, Chan'er, Juan'er, Xing'er, including Su Wending and Su Wenfang, went all the way to the edge of the West Lake and boarded their own boat. Together with many other boats, they headed towards Xiaoyingzhou.
