son-in-law

Chapter 502 At that time, the bright moon was returning to the clouds

When she woke up in the mist, it was still before dawn, and Xiao Chan was sleeping beside her, her body leaning over like an octopus, her body soft and warm.Feeling this body, recalling the feeling in her dream just now, in her dream... she almost regarded her as her husband.

After getting married, although the little concubine has now taken over the house, the concubine's room should not sleep with the old woman.But it doesn't matter so much when they are out of town. After all, they love each other as sisters. When they were younger, it was not that they never slept in the same bed.

Relatively speaking, among the three maidservants, Juan'er had the quietest temperament. She leaned slightly on her side when she slept, like a little girl who needed protection and was a little afraid of life. She would never hug her hands.Myolie's temperament is like that of a sister. Although she is aggressive to the outside world, she is very gentle when sleeping together. She falls asleep on her back with her hands on her lower abdomen, and sometimes wakes up at night to pull the quilt for her sister.

Only Xiaochan is the most troublesome. She has a lovable temperament, but she is clingy. When she falls asleep, she will find someone around her to hug her. , woke up in the morning with swollen eyes, desperately complaining about her, Xiaochan desperately apologized guiltily.It was a matter between their little sisters, but that time I happened to pass by and saw it.

I don't really mind this.When I was young, I was surrounded by a few little people, but I just learned the word "Yuxia" from my father. At a young age, I thought about how to treat the people around me, and felt that I should not be too close. But I couldn't bear to be too far away.In the end, she didn't act ruthlessly, and felt that the clingy and cute little Chan was more like an easy-to-approach younger sister.

Now that both of them have grown up, even if they hold each other like this, they will not feel disproportionate like when they were young, and sometimes it is even uncomfortable.Xiaochan is of medium height, and her body looks slender.She felt the girl beside her like a younger sister, so she couldn't help reaching out and scratching Xiaochan's waist.The little chan moved her body in her sleep, smacking her lips and making a "uh" sound.Feeling these, and recalling when I was a child, a warm smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Growing up together at such a young age, growing into what it is now, and then marrying the same man and becoming such a sister, it makes people feel warm just thinking about it.She tried to imagine what Ning Yi would do to Xiao Chan when she was here, how he would look when Xiao Chan hugged him like this, and how the two would fall asleep together.Recalling how I looked when I slept with him, well, I like to lie in his arms...

So she also tried to hug Xiaochan gently, just like when Ning Yi hugged her.When Xiaochan leaned over, her thoughts also flew to Bianliang City, a hundred miles away.

On such a night, what about him, sleeping alone in an empty house, or hugging Juan'er like this... Before leaving, he had hinted that he could take Juan'er into the room, I wonder if he had this way.

It was still deep in the night, and before the sleepiness reappeared, Su Tan'er put her arms around Xiaochan and sighed softly. She admitted that she missed him and the child... Since the first day she came here, she has been in thought.

****************
In the early morning, the morning wind blows pollen flying across the sky, and the small county town named Kihara has woken up.

The small county is not big. It is located on the bank of a tributary next to the canal. Although the traffic is relatively convenient, it has not been developed much compared to other cities along the Grand Canal.Originally, it was a small town with more than [-] families on several roads. Recently, due to the arrival of the Su family, warehouses and workshops have been built, which has become a little more lively.

After dawn, there was a little noise in the simple courtyard on the side of Muyuan County. This is the courtyard where the Su family came to stay temporarily. Most of the people living here are women.In addition to Su Tan'er, Xiaochan, and Xing'er, there are also several female stewards whom Su Tan'er has used, headed by a middle-aged woman named Feng Qiuhua, and some cooks and accountants. The female family members of the class were busy grooming, eating breakfast, and reporting to Su Tan'er about today's work in the early morning.

After the morning, these people went out one after another, the sun rose, and the yard would be quiet for a while.This courtyard is not big. There are several adobe houses and walls made of mud. There are no decorations. Outside the courtyard wall is one of several main roads in the town, but there are not many pedestrians. When it rains, most of them are muddy and sewage. On a sunny day, if there is a carriage passing by, it is often startled by bursts of dust.Only in the morning of the market day, which is held every three days, there will be more pedestrians. The people of Shili Baxiang gathered in the county town. Some passed by the roadside here, and some sold goods on the roadside. time, spin and dissipate.

There is an inconspicuous tile pot under the eaves of the courtyard, and two buds are spreading out from the soil. It is the seed that Xing'er planted on the day he came to Kihara.

In the quietness of the courtyard, people would occasionally come in and out.As the main family, Su Tan'er doesn't go out very often. If there is anything, it's usually Myolie to do it, and Xiaochan will carefully classify the raw silk or fabric samples brought in in the next room.The cook bought the ingredients for a few days and asked the maid to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.Every one or two mornings, someone will secretly send some materials, Su Tan'er is watching in the room, and when Xiaochan passes by, she often hears news about Bianliang from the mouth of the young lady.

"...Zhuji's Wanzhaolou is famous, and Li Shishi appeared... It seems to have done a good job, impressive, and when Xianggong's new words came out, people like Bianliang were startled again..."

Su Tan'er would sometimes laugh while watching, and sometimes frown again: "...It's not a good thing to offend that Gao Yanei, and the Xianggong probably has to rely on the Xiangfu to come forward for this trouble."

Xiaochan sat on the side, looked at Su Tan'er and pursed her lips softly: "Why is the young lady so happy about Zhuji..."

"Although the name is Zhuji, the girl Nie doesn't care about it anymore. No matter what it is called, it will be our Ning family's business after all. If it can be done well, why should I care?" Tan said. Er shook his head and didn't care, a complicated but peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Besides, Miss Nie will have to enter the door sooner or later. She has a quiet temperament, and it's not difficult to get along well with her."

The doors and windows of the room were open, and the spring sunshine and warm wind came in from outside, rendering Tan'er's hair on her forehead and her calm smile. Although she was tangled with some things, in fact, when she found out that her husband was actually more When I was entangled, the trace of resentment in my heart was slowly dissipating.Now that I'm angry, I'm leaving, and the man who I care about is sulking in the capital, and it's time for me to show my mistress temperament...

Of course, as a woman, I don't want my man to be divided by others. This is human nature. In my heart, I really want to say how to be happy and open-minded, but there is no such thing.But to say jealousy is not accurate.If I summed up this complicated feeling, I would probably sigh and then smile and say, "It's really impossible" after a wry smile.

From the businessman's point of view, there are not many ways to solve the problem. Fortunately, the temperament of the girl Nie is not disgusting.In fact, in her experience over the years, she has seen many couples get along with each other. According to the original idea, even if this husband is useless, he uses his own money to go to the brothel to meet a few confidantes. Can deal with it calmly, but these events that happened later are also unfamiliar to her.

From closeness to heartbeat, to the subsequent pieces, and even the mutual acquaintance of body and mind.This husband's actions and thoughts are so strange that she doesn't know how to deal with it.But in any case, he has already been angry, and it is time to pull things back on the road.

That's why, during the time she came to Kihara, Xiaochan felt that the young lady who had cried and made trouble not long ago calmed down quickly. Missing Bianliang's family, with a serene expression on his face, occasionally talking about Bianliang things, he can also laugh and joke a few times, as if nothing happened when he parted with Ning Yi.

Even with Xiaochan's understanding of Su Tan'er, she couldn't clearly tell whether she was really not angry, or whether other storms were brewing, but in any case, it seemed that she was always unwilling to be separated from Xianggong. Being able to confirm this, Xiaochan felt at ease.

"...It was the Swift House performance the day before yesterday. Well, this lyric seems to have improved a lot, and it caused a sensation... After the dream, the tower was locked, and the curtain was lowered when I woke up. , Swift and swallows flying. I remember the first time Xiaopin met, the double heart character Luo Yi, and the pipa string said lovesickness, when the bright moon was there, and the colorful clouds returned... Well, the bright moon was there at the time, and the colorful clouds returned..."

Su Tan'er's poetry skills are not deep, but she can also see the benefits of this poem. In her heart, she compared the pros and cons of this sentence with "Meeting a Beautiful Woman for 1000 Years" - which was used by Ning Yi to curry favor with her last year Poetry, she was very happy - and then thought that 1000 years should be more powerful.Xiaochan looked at the "Luohua people are independent, and the little swifts are flying together" and said: "Is this about the young lady running away from home?"

"Of course not, there's a 'remember the first meeting of Xiaopin' in the back... Hmph, who is Xiaopin..."

"But Luo Huaren is independent, and the swift and swallows fly together... The pipa string is talking about lovesickness. At that time, the bright moon was there, and Zeng Zhaocaiyun returned, which is very similar to saying that the young lady ran away. People are independent and Yan Shuangfei means that the young lady ran away, Xianggong I was there alone, and I was looking forward to the young lady going back..." Xiaochan said seriously.

Su Tan'er laughed, and then withdrew the smile: "Even if it is, he shouldn't write it to others..."

"It's just because I wrote it for someone else to hang in the building, so I have to put someone else's name on it. Maybe it was the occasion... Well, it was written by Xianggong and Li Shishi performed it. Maybe it was written to Miss Li on the spot... ..." Xiaochan raised her head and pointed her chin with one finger to reason, "Well, does Miss Li have a nickname called Xiaopin."

"Master should be his stage name." Su Tan'er interjected.

"Then Master Li's original name is Li Pin, Li Pin... This name, uh..."

As if she suddenly thought of something, Xiaochan's face suddenly turned green, Su Tan'er was stunned, and then the corner of her mouth moved twice, but she didn't say anything.Xiaochan thought for a while: "But, maybe there is a girl named Xiaopin, ah, I remember, when I was in Jiangning, Jin Cuixuan had a very famous girl named Zhao Xiaopin. "

"Ah..." Su Tan'er pointed her finger, "I remember it too, Zhao Xiaopin... Did Xianggong see her at that time?"

"Although Xianggong rarely interacts with them, he should have seen them before, otherwise there are other small frequencies, such as Bianliang... uh..."

Xiaochan thought hard for a while, then Su Tan'er laughed: "Don't say this anymore..." After all, the two of them are sisters married to the same man. At this time, talking about Ning Yi's matters in this regard, how much is in her heart? is bottomed.But in any case, due to the sudden messy associations, the mood was affected, and even with that song, when I read it again, I felt that the quality was much worse.

First time seeing Xiaopin...heart word Luo Yi...I can't stand it...

After the initial disgust, the two of them couldn't help but think about it for the whole day. Xiaochan blushes a little when she thinks of it, but when she sees her young lady, she wants to laugh, so much that she eats at noon. At that time, she sat at the table with Su Tan'er, Xing'er, Feng Qiuhua and others, her face turned into a persimmon, and she pursed her lips to hold back a smile.

Su Tan'er naturally understood why, seeing her like this, she wanted to laugh a little, but she was used to being the master, so she still had some determination.Xing'er and the others were puzzled. When the meal was halfway through, Xiaochan couldn't help crawling onto the table to laugh. After a few whistles, she raised her head and looked serious. When she saw everyone's expressions, she couldn't help... ...Although Xiaochan is usually cute, in front of Feng Qiuhua and other stewards or servants, the imposing manner of a concubine girl is now a concubine, which makes everyone puzzled.Su Tan'er couldn't hold back a little, she put one hand on her mouth, the other hand hit Xiaochan's back a few times, and then pinched her face.This scene confused Xing'er who was eating next to her: "What, what's wrong?" In the end, Xiaochan lay on her shoulders and laughed for a while before giving up.

When I came to Kihara, apart from this sudden incident, there was actually no way to entertain.In the afternoon, after finishing some things, Su Tan'er would also go out to walk around the nearby construction site, or check the progress of recruiting female workers in the workshop.

This is a remote town, and there is nothing to do or see. If you want to talk about green mountains and green waters, it can be seen everywhere from a distance, but it is really difficult to give birth to any interest in visiting.To say that on the road near the town, dog dung, cow dung, chicken dung and other things may be encountered everywhere. Pedestrians on the road are outdated, and the houses are low. Occasionally, one or two scumbags with dull or wretched eyes are seen. Crouching on the side of the road, looking carefully at the woman from the big city—for Ning Yi, these are the scenes of the old society and the countryside, but it is a matter of fact, not demeaning—even if Su Taner is a person of this era, Being able to get used to these, it is not necessarily that she will like to see these sights. After living for a long time, life will become boring.

However, there is a small green space on the small river bank near the town, where the old pier can be seen in the distance, and Su Tan'er will walk there.At present, there are no ships on this small river. The Su family bought a few plots of land nearby. Su Tan’er can see half a small town here, and there are not many people passing by. She can imagine a small town here. What will the town look like in the future, and more often she thinks of Ning Yi, Jiang Ning, and Bianliang, she also remembered that she had passed through such a small river when she ran away from marriage and ran away from home, and she remembered her original mood, and she also thought of the original Marry him, if they didn't escape from the marriage at first, what would they have been like.

Regarding the future, in fact, she does not have very specific confidence.When the family was separated, the business had to be done slowly—of course she was confident that she could do it well—as for Ning Yi, she didn’t quite understand what Ning Yi was doing. He spent a lot of money and spent a lot of money. However, for now, the results and prospects cannot be seen.But anyway, she thought, she supported him.

It's just that the two Zhuji opened, and Gao Yanei's obstruction, he has to deal with all the things, I'm afraid it will take a while.Although he was not angry, he said that it was impossible to go back directly after giving him time to think clearly.Really... miss Xiaoxi so much...

If only he could come earlier...

I stayed here for a while, thinking about these things, and in the distance, I saw a group of carriages and horses crossing the bridge and entering the small county town, and then it seemed to cause some movement.Su Taner thought that maybe a big family in the county came back to visit relatives?She didn't take it to heart, but involuntarily got up and walked back.

Entering the city and crossing the street, Tan'er let her focus on the progress of the project today. Walking beside her were the warriors who were in charge of her safety arranged by Ning Yi, including two women.When she passed by the gates of the two big households in the county town, she glanced at it unintentionally, but there was no sign that a carriage was parked, so she passed the dilapidated county office, and in the distance, her own construction site and yard were also there. On the corner ahead.

A certain thought faintly rose in my heart, but I suppressed it immediately: Of course not, it's only been a while, so I don't need to think about it, but tonight I'm going to tell Xing'er to build... a corner of the warehouse. Some... taller should be better, and then... she heard faint voices in front of her, someone on the other side of the road was looking in the direction of the yard, something grabbed her heart, but it couldn't... maybe it was Another batch of goods arrived, which one was ahead of schedule... She calculated in her mind and quickened her pace.

In fact, the sun was gradually slanting westward. Su Tan'er walked across the street corner with steady steps and calm eyes. There seemed to be a child's voice. She looked over there and saw six or seven carriages parked on the street. , Many people were moving things down and into the yard... Sure enough, a batch of goods arrived. She walked two steps and involuntarily grabbed the clothes on her left with her right hand.

After two more steps, the figure appeared in the gap not far away.It was a familiar figure, sitting on a large bluestone at the door, holding someone in his hand... The figures of the man and the child were blocked again in the crowd, but at that moment, Su Tan'er saw the other party raised his head , look this way.

She took a few quick steps, and then, the child's "beep" sounded into her ears, and then the figures of Ning Yi and the child appeared in front, Ning Xi opened her hands in her father's arms, with bubbles in her mouth, Ning Yi squeezed His face: "Hey, that's your mother who ran away."

Su Tan'er ran over, hugged the child in front of Ning Yi, kissed him twice, and put her cheek against his face, even if Ning Xi spit on her face and smeared her face.

She made out with the child for a while: "Why are you here so soon." She lowered her head, and after saying this, she looked up at her husband, who was in front of her. There was a little warmth in her eyes, and there should be a smile on her face.

"My wife ran away. Men are usually more anxious... Looking at me like this, what do you think?"

"I think it would have been better if I hadn't escaped marriage."

"Uh..." Unexpectedly, Su Tan'er's sudden but natural sentence, Ning Yi was stunned, then stretched out his hand and embraced the mother and son in front of him.

Su Tan'er felt her forehead pressed against his chest, and her face became hot: "Don't, someone is watching..."

There were indeed some people watching at the intersection over there. A few nearby households came to see the lively people, and there were also pedestrians passing by. At this time, they pointed at the shy little couple from the big city.But Ning Yi didn't mind: "What about them." He said, waving his hand over there, "What are you looking at? Go home and hug your mother-in-law."

Rich people in big cities are very domineering, but Ning Yi's words made everyone laugh. Some village women pulled their husbands away with a smile, while others were still watching.Ning Yi didn't care about them either.
