son-in-law

Chapter 16
The carriage came in from the side door of Su Mansion, and happened to meet the second uncle and his group who had been drinking until they were seventy percent drunk. They asked Su Taner about what he saw tonight, whether he had a good time at the poetry party, etc. Su Tan The child also responded with a few words as usual.

At this time, many poems were still circulated in the city, and the water tune was a good work, but it was impossible for the time being to cause a sensation or get the reputation of being the best tonight.The words of Kang Xian's reprimand from the Zhishui Poetry Club have not yet come out. In the eyes of ordinary people, the top poems are almost the same. In the eyes of ordinary people, this word is good, but it is compared with Cao Guan Li Pin and others Up, maybe it's just similar, or because of the fame of these talents in the past, they may see this water tune a little bit worse, and only those who are truly knowledgeable can clearly perceive the composition of this lyric. Meaningful and far-reaching and returning to the original, feel the distance.

Su Zhongkan was just talking business with people tonight, drinking flowers and wine, etc. He didn't care much about poetry. Naturally, things like Ning Liheng hadn't spread to his ears. The two uncle and nephew exchanged a few words After the sentence, they parted on the road. The four of Su Tan'er's master and servant returned to the small courtyard where they lived all the way. Except for the big lantern outside the courtyard gate, the courtyard was quiet, only the moonlight from the sky sprinkled down like water.

Su Tan'er glanced at the darkness in the room on the second floor over there, and Xiao Chan asked, "Miss, I'm going to call Uncle..."

"No, he's already asleep, so don't wake him up. Chan'er brings some warm water, Xing'er Juan'er, you should go to bed earlier... Chan'er, if you still have the energy, you can tell the story that my uncle told you. listen?"

Chan'er smiled and nodded, and Juan'er and Xing'er on the side also raised their hands.

"Miss, we are not sleepy."

"We want to hear it too."

She glanced at the two girls angrily, and then smiled: "Then let's come together. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I heard a story or something."

"I remember when I was young, the young lady took a book and told us stories..."

"Yeah yeah, I still remember..."

A few girls chattered, and then Su Tan'er went upstairs, Juan'er and Xing'er helped Chan'er to boil warm water together, brought a wooden basin and a towel and went up together.

The lights of the city in the distance gradually quieted down a little. In the quiet courtyard, the warm yellow lights floated in the windows on the second floor, reflecting the silhouettes of the master and servant in the room talking and chuckling.

I don't know how long it took, the night became much deeper, and the three maids came out of the room, then closed the door and went downstairs.Back in her room, after closing the door, Chan'er gently leaned against the door, cupped her chest with both hands, raised her head and took a deep breath, her innocent little face raised with a complicated expression, happy, Doubts, fears, longings, all kinds of things.

Su Tan'er has taught her a lot of things, so in her heart, it is naturally not pure and simple, she also has small thoughts, but these small thoughts are always for the sake of the people and things around you, such as Miss, such as the Su family, or now Ning Liheng.

In the past, she could refute Mr. Qin at the chess booth for the Su family's affairs. After getting along with Ning Yi during this time, Ning Yi's personality was indifferent, but she also had a humorous side on weekdays, and started to do things - although she didn't do it. What's the matter - it's like lifting weights lightly and everything is not in her arms. When she is friendly, she naturally likes it.

On the other hand, there is not only liking for the lady, but also gratitude and gratitude. In short, it means liking her very, very much.She understands the distress of the young lady in the past, and she probably knows what the young lady likes. Now that she finds that the uncle is not like the nerd she heard about before, she will naturally consider the marriage between him and the young lady. If they like each other, Come together naturally, of course, it's the best, she doesn't have much to do, let the young lady see and know about the uncle's affairs, and let the uncle know the goodness of the young lady-this itself is her job as a personal maid.

She knew that the young lady likes poetry, but there is nothing that my uncle wrote before, and sometimes she even thinks that my uncle wrote those things as a joke on purpose.Tonight, I saw my uncle make the head of the water tune. Although she is not very knowledgeable, she can always perceive the goodness of the words and phrases. She seems to have found a treasure. She immediately took the words and phrases to the Puyuan Poetry Club, planning to find some time for the young lady. Look, when she saw Xue Jin coming over, she understood what she would find in it, and she naturally took out the words and sentences. In any case, this poem should be very good, and it should not lose points.

She just didn't expect that in the eyes of those people, the word would be so good.

If she could have an accurate concept before, she would never have come up with this word so rashly. Now it seems that wanting to let the young lady see the talent of the uncle has the opposite effect - it seems that Miss Lian She was also frightened, and she looked a little unprepared when she was on the boat, so she also felt guilty.Originally, I just wanted to prepare a small surprise, but who knew that the surprise was too big, and it scared me too...

oh, how can this be...

The lights flickered like beans, and Xiao Chan, who was not sleepy, sat at the table, resting her chin in her hands, thinking in anguish that what Ning Yi wrote to her was the original manuscript of the water tune song, so she held her chin in her hands. Read it a few more times.

Uncle, it's good that you are talented, you don't need to be so high... These things, what will Xiaochan tell you tomorrow...

Sure enough, it was Grandpa's fault.

She pouted, stretched out her finger and gently poked the rice paper twice.When he saw the last sentence, his face gradually turned red again.Then he carefully folded the paper again and retracted the bottom of the drawer.

After blowing out the oil lamp, the little girl whose face was getting hotter and hotter felt dark and went to bed slowly...

"Chanjuan is a thousand miles away...hehe..."

*****************
In the early morning, the white mist filled Jiangning City again, and the bright light was still rising from above the mist, spraying out a magnificent morning light.

When he woke up, Ning Yi felt refreshed, and his spirit had almost recovered.After another day of rest and consolidation, I can go to class tomorrow. In today's time, I can get some wooden sandbags or the like from the nursing home. This body is weak for many years, and it is impossible to exercise without thorough training.

The steward at the nursing home seems to be surnamed Zhang. According to the atmosphere in the Su family, Mrs. Su is relatively caring, but she has to consider if she brings wooden figures, sandbags and other things into the yard to punish Su. Was the impact of Tan'er and the others too great? It's not enough for me, a weak scholar, to run and run. If they suddenly said that they wanted to practice martial arts, they would probably think of themselves as fools.

Getting them to accept that he's a little different, but also taking it slow, maybe a little too fast, he weighs these boredly in his mind.Afterwards, during breakfast time sitting together and drinking meat porridge, I felt that Su Taner seemed to be looking at him all the time, with a strange look in his eyes.

Glancing at random, after a while, Ning Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at his wife doubtfully for a while: "What's wrong?"

"No." Su Tan'er smiled and shook her head, "I just think that Xianggong is in good spirits this morning."

"Oh, my condition should be fine, cough... My throat seems to be a little dry, but I'll be fine after today, and I can go to the academy."

"It's just fine if you're healthy. If you're going to be fine these few days, Xianggong might be very busy."

"busy?"

"Yeah." Su Tan'er nodded, without explaining much, and began to drink porridge very ladylike in small sips.In doubt, Ning Yi felt that the smile on the corner of her mouth was somewhat similar to Mona Lisa's...

What do you mean, is the academy going to give me a job?Ning Yi speculated about the possible meaning of the other party's words in his mind, until he returned to the room after drinking the porridge, Xiaochan came over timidly and explained what happened last night, he finally accurately grasped the emotions contained in the other party's eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry, uncle, Xiaochan originally just wanted to... just wanted to show the lady, but that Xue Jin is really hateful..."

Ning Yi was dumbfounded to hear what she said, and then his expression calmed down. After thinking about it for a while, he laughed funny.

"Oh, it's okay, it's not a big problem."

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Chan'er nodded happily and said, "Yes, Uncle's talent..." With a bang, Ning Yi's fingers flicked on her forehead.

"Whoever said that I am talented, you are not allowed to tell people like that in the future."

"...Oh." The little girl hesitated and nodded.

"In this way, I won't go out today." Ning Yi thought for a while, then laughed, "It seems that it will take a few more days to be sick..."

The sun shines in from the window, Ning Yi walks back to the bed with a novel, ready to pretend to be sick.After a while, she waved to Xiaochan again, and Xiaochan put down her anxiety and moved a Go box and a small table for playing backgammon from a corner of the house, and happily trotted over...

Last night on Mid-Autumn Festival, some people slept late, so most people got up a little late this morning. Jiangning City was about half an hour late before it resumed its usual prosperity. The matter was mixed with other news about poetry and it gradually spread widely. The influence of this water tune also began to cause continuous vibrations and waves in Jiangning City in the next few days, and with the deepening of time ,growing……
