Chapter 320 March spring flowers gradually wake up
The spring rain pattered outside the window, and in March, the water in the Qinhuai River gradually began to rise. The rain came quickly, and a teal was writhing on the noodles in a panic. The maid Kuan'er put away her clothes outside.
Yuan Jin'er stood by the terrace facing the river and poked it here and there with a branch, then turned to look at the flower boats passing by on the river.
The window of the flower boat was open, and there were banquets and music inside. The girls and talented people who were disturbed by the heavy rain ran to the window to look around, and some teased and hugged each other. Yuan Jin'er leaned against the railing and watched this scene. For a moment, Yun Jin'er
Zhu also came out to see the rain. The wind blew the hair of the two women on the terrace, and the eyes of some talented people on the boat were attracted. They looked over and received hostile looks from several women.
Yuan Jin'er suppressed her hair, snorted softly, and took Yunzhu back to the room, only opening the side window to watch the rain.
This is Yunzhu's room. There are needlework and some clothes on the bed. Apparently, Yunzhu was sewing and mending here just before going out. These are old clothes for the adopted children. Some of them are torn. Yunzhu
Nothing to do, just take it back and make up for it. Jin'er has no accomplishments in needlework. It's not a personality problem, but because she hasn't learned much. What girls in brothels need to learn are folk arts and dances, and various techniques to please men. If she gives
It is a trend for customers to sew and mend clothes. Mothers are not prohibited from learning, but they do not deliberately teach them. What Yunzhu knows is a craft he left behind when he was an official lady.
"I originally wanted to visit Qingyuan, but it rained. It's really boring."
Yuan Jin'er knelt down on the chair and swayed around boredly.
"If you're bored, come and mend your clothes with me."
"Won't."
Yuan Jin'er had the same head and smiled, feeling a little shameless. Yunzhu smiled and leaned on the bed to pick up a needle and thread. She was dressed in elegant clothes and had a graceful figure. She looked like a lady when she leaned on the bed. Jin
After watching it for a while, I became a little bored again. I drank tea, rolled around, and jumped around for a while. I played the guzheng a few times, but after all I was not very good at it. Then I brought the pipa over and sat by the window. The strings played softly.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong~success and failure~turn away in vain...The green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are red several times..."
Although Yunzhu is good at folk arts, when she sings casually, Jin'er's singing voice is also melodious and refreshing. Yunzhu raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Jin'er sang for half the song,
He stopped when he sang Baifa Yujiao, and then turned into a more casual hum. After finishing the song, he hugged the pipa and glanced at Yunzhu: "Sister Yunzhu, aren't you bored?"
"What's boring?" Yunzhu bit off the thread and changed into another piece of clothing.
"It's boring to be quiet all day long. Sister Yunzhu, you are always so content with yourself..."
"If you're bored, let's play Shuanglu. You can just call Kou'er in." Yunzhu said with a smile.
"There's no point in playing that all day long." Jin'er shook his head. He put down the pipa, walked to the bed and tidied up a patched piece of clothing for Yunzhu, and then lay on the bed with open hands. After a moment, he asked again
, "Sister Yunzhu, what was it like when you were an official lady?"
"Study female training, become a female celebrity, play Shuanglu with others, hide and seek, etc." Yunzhu paused, "Actually, it was almost the same as now, but I was still young at that time, so everything I did was interesting."
"Do you want to get married?"
"How old was I at that time?" Yunzhu rolled his eyes at her, "But then I did. Although I didn't know what it meant in my heart, I probably understood that it was like parents, living with one person... for a lifetime, but
Boys are very boring, so I thought at that time, maybe we would get married. Even if we find a boy and talk to him all day long, we would find it very interesting."
"Just talk all day long."
"Just talking." Yunzhu laughed, and then lowered his eyes, "Then...I hope someone can save me. Who knows what it means to get married, but I just heard people say that getting married is very happy.
It happened. At that time, I hoped that someone could help me redeem my life and marry him, so I worked hard to learn piano and sing. But after I saw so many things, I didn’t feel happy about these things anymore... Anyway, no matter when
The things I think about now seem to be just a few simple things, so I don’t feel bored now.”
"Uh..." Jin'er pillowed her arms and looked at the mosquito net above her head distressedly. But Yunzhu smiled: "You just want to go to Qingyuan to see what those talented people have to say, right? I've never seen you so boring usually.
.”
"Hehe." Jin'er grinned.
What the two were talking about was actually an incident that happened in Qingyuan yesterday. Yunzhu and Jin'er were there at the time, and accidentally bumped into a group of talented scholars who complimented each other and wrote poems to each other. This is of course a common thing, but
When the praise reaches a certain level, when talking about Ning Yi, they say that Ning Liheng is just a turtle with no real material. He also says that he has not published any new words recently and that he has exhausted his talent. How can he compare with it?
So-and-so came to mind, so they wrote lyrics here, chanting about the past and expressing the present. Yunzhu went to the yard next door to play the piano and sang the song "The Immortal Linjiang. The Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Pass to the East".
This is naturally a good word, but Ning Yi did not show it to everyone in the past. He only told Yunzhu in the form of singing. She deliberately let the people next door hear it. After singing the song, there was really no sound over there.
When helping the scholar to find out whose new work this was, Yunzhu called the people in Qingyuan and told them that it was Ning Yi's lyrics, and then left after pulling Jin'er away.
She is not a show-off person on weekdays, but she occasionally reacts like this when it comes to Ning Yi. Jin'er wanted to hide there secretly and watch the expressions on the faces of these talented people, hugging the pillar and refusing to leave, but
Finally he was pulled away by Yunzhu.
Jin'er herself has a fun-loving, noisy character. She didn't enjoy the pleasure of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger yesterday. She planned to tell Ning Yi about it this morning when she came over, but Ning Yi probably had something to do and didn't come in the morning. She just
I was thinking about going to Qingyuan during the day to see if this matter had spread, but it started to rain heavily again, which made me really depressed. After laughing, I blinked: "Sister Yunzhu, tell me, he didn't do anything this morning
Come on, is it someone in his family who gave birth?"
"Ah..." Yunzhu accidentally pricked his finger with a needle, put it in his mouth and sucked it, and then slapped Jin'er angrily, who was looking over with interest.
"Sister Yunzhu, you also care."
"Of course I will care." Yunzhu replied softly.
"Men are so annoying." Jin'er turned her gaze to the top of the mosquito net and said this slowly, "He didn't even say he would marry you, why do you still like him..." This was not a question, it was similar.
The two of them had talked about the matter many times. They were not feminists. It would be really difficult for Ning Yi to marry her, but there would always be some expectations in his heart.
Yunzhu was quiet for a while: "Jin'er, you know that Li Heng is very good at everything he does, right?"
"Well, I admit this."
"But he's not good at it at all."
Jin'er's eyes widened. She suddenly turned over and lay there, wringing her hands together and looking at Yunzhu: "Sister Yunzhu, which one is yours?"
Yunzhu pursed his lips and kicked her lightly: "Where did I say this! I mean... raising a woman outside is not a problem at all for the talented people you and I know, right?"
"Hehe, um."
"He is very annoyed. He seems to not know what to do. He can't cope with it in his heart. Although he can't see it on his face..."
"Uh... It seems a little bit." Jin'er thought for a moment, "Hey, grown man, it's really useless."
"I like it very much." After a while, Yunzhu stopped sewing. He lowered his head and smiled, and said softly, "I'm afraid he didn't realize it himself. But I like it very much. Those things that are very good for him,
I just think it’s appropriate, and of course it doesn’t matter if he’s not great. But I really like the fact that he’s not great at all, Jin’er.”
She blinked her eyes: "Li Heng is always calm and composed, but... maybe it's because he has stayed in Jinfeng Tower for a long time. This is the only thing that I noticed early on. Maybe he himself also
He can see it, but even if he sees it, there is nothing he can do about it. I think. If I can see him like this, let alone Nie Yunzhu who is now a good man, even if I am still the former official lady, no matter what happens next
In this way, I also admit it..."
After she said this, she continued to mend her clothes with her head down. The rain was still falling. Jin'er lay there and looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed: "You..."
The spring rain submerged this small building and the entire Jiangning City in a mist. Su Zhai, the small courtyard where Ning Yi and his wife lived, was experiencing a lot of hustle and bustle for half a morning, because Su Tan'er had abdominal pain in the morning and thought
It was still about to give birth. After the midwife took her over, she found that it was a false alarm, but the real delivery would probably take place in the next day or two. The midwife was persuaded to stay in the house, and Ning Yi was also comforting his wife in the room.
At the same time, a strange rumor was being spread by word of mouth among a few specific people in the second and third rooms of the Su family. This was news about Ning Yi's affair with a good prostitute. The source of the news was temporarily unknown.
"Is it true?"
"I do not know……"
"If this is true..."
"It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, you think about it clearly..."
"This is the last chance to break the situation..."
The small-scale rumors in the dark did not alarm Ning Yi and everyone in the big house for the time being. But also in the afternoon, during the increasingly heavy rain, a fight broke out at one end of Jiangning City. Covered by the rain,
It's happening in several courtyards in the city.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. These courtyards belong to a large-scale gang in Jiangning City. The leader of the gang is named Cheng Lie, and the name of this gang is only the same as that of the Ba Dao League, which was once popular in Tiannan Wulin.
There is one word difference, it is called "Hundred Swords Alliance".
But the strength is obviously much weaker.
Now, the courtyard of the Hundred Swords Alliance is full of corpses and blood. What came in were a dozen men wearing black raincoats, some of whom were carrying baggage. They seemed to be dressed as travelers. The generals under Cheng Lie had just arrived.
They were all dead in the fight. Now he was half covered in blood. He was holding a long knife that had been chopped off. He was leaning under the pillar of the main hall and looked at the approaching strong man holding a pair of axes: "You, who are you?"
…”
"Hey, after you die, remember grandpa's name... Grandpa's name is Li Kui! Anyone who dares to touch my brother must pay with his life!"
The giant ax struck down with a bang!
On the street outside the door, a plaque with the words "Hundred Swords Alliance" fell to the ground in the rain with a bang. Xi Junyu, who was also wearing a raincoat, looked back, turned to chat with a man next to him, and when he turned back
, a carriage came from the other side of the street, and several more people got out of the car, all wearing black raincoats that could protect them from the rain and hide their own features. The first one was tall, wearing a bamboo hat, and carried a long gun on his back.
Although he has a rather handsome face under the bamboo hat, it seems that there is always a sad look hidden for some time.
Xi Junyu cupped his hands and said, "Several brothers are also here. Brother Lin, you are from Tokyo. What do you think of Jiangning? I am familiar with this place. I will find a good restaurant later to welcome these brothers."
Several people cupped their hands, and the man in front nodded and said "Yeah", then turned to look at the courtyard next to him. Although the courtyard door was closed and it was raining heavily, he could still hear what was happening inside.
.
"Brother Xi, we came to Jiangning this time for business. I have nothing to say about your personal revenge. Remember not to miss the business."
"It's okay." The other party stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder, and then walked past him.
Xi Junyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone has treated each other as brothers for a long time, for a long time, he still had an inexplicable sense of fear and awe towards certain people, such as military advisors.

Eight hundred thousand Forbidden Army instructors!rs
