Chapter 161

After nightfall, the housekeepers who were instructed to leave one after another, and the torches lit one after another for the aftermath of the fire were also extinguished.There was only one yard left in the courtyard of two small buildings. At this time, the lights were on, and it became brighter and warmer than before.

After dinner until around the [-]th hour, the visiting relatives were still coming one after another, inquiring about the fire situation, and chatting with them.

During the day, everyone gathered and watched a large number of people busy cleaning up the fire scene, but there was still a bit of regret after the disaster. In the evening, after asking that the fire did not hurt anyone, everyone felt fortunate that it was a party. General attitude.The parents chatted for a while, and some said that Ning Yi and Su Tan'er should have changed their yard and so on.After the fire, everyone was a little happy when they got together.

That's right, the Su family's money is not bad for this house, and if it burns, it will burn. Since no one was hurt, then this is nothing more than a small accident.The host didn't care much, and everyone didn't need to spend too much time on this matter, so there were more people visiting, and in the living room, it was just a small gathering.

In fact, the reason why Su Tan'er chose to live in this yard today was just a momentary liking when she was a girl.In theory, she is now in charge of the big house. After annexing various things handed over by the Wu family, it is expected that the business under her management will reach half of the entire Su family. So fitting.

This yard is originally a layout that shows itself a little bit, and there is nothing uncomfortable to live in, but it seems a little unattractive in terms of hospitality.Everyone also thought that Su Tan'er would take advantage of this time to choose another yard to live in, chatting about these things and expressing their own opinions.

Some atmospheres may only be felt by certain people.

Su Tan'er chatted happily with the relatives who came and left, but she was actually a little absent-minded. The response was just a formulaic expression. Of course, there are probably not many people in the Su family who can feel this.

Ning Yi was the same as usual. A group of relatives came here, and politeness was always sufficient.Yu Su Taner entertained these people, chatting with everyone about the style of the house, as if nothing had happened, and sometimes took out pen, ink and paper to write, draw, and design.

Due to the large number of people, the three of them, Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er, came in and out from time to time, carrying fruit, serving tea, and greeting those who came, and they were also responsible for arranging the accompanying attendants and maids in the next yard.At home, they are no different from those at the level of stewardship, so they are naturally familiar and well-organized at this time.

It seems that everything is business as usual, there is really no problem.

Just like last year, when the weather cools down, everyone will gather in the living room.Su Tan'er looked at the ledger, or did female red embroidery with the maids, and listened to Ning Yi's story. Everyone played chess and chatted together. When the guests came, the three maids served tea.Everything is the same as today, nothing more than normal.However, today is a fire after all.

If everything is too normal, sometimes there will be an inexplicable sense of disobedience, and others may not feel it, but as time goes by, at least in the hearts of Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er, there will be some strange things. Problems and ideas exist.

No one said anything about the aftermath.

Not referring to the aftermath aspect.The Su family is not short of money, and Su Tan'er is not short of money. There is no big problem with burning a building, so others will not feel so strange about it.But in any case, the small building was burned, the residence of Ning Yi and Xiaochan was burned, and the small kitchen and bathroom were also affected. In theory, even if you don't care, there must be a few explanations. However, , and no one mentioned it.

Some of Xiaochan's things have been moved to the room next to Juaner, but Su Taner did not express her opinion on whether she will live in this room in the future.Of course, she herself has some power in this matter. Originally, many things in the room were burned, and she could secretly ask the servants to bring them directly.In the future, what about the small kitchen and bathroom? Most importantly, where should Ning Yi live tonight? No one has 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 still had the attitude of the past. When he wanted to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he still went to Su Tan'er's room to find it. At this time, his belongings had already piled up the room in a mess. Come here. When I was looking for it, I asked Xing’er to help me: “Where did they put my pen, ink, paper, inkstone and inkstone when they moved in…” I rummaged through the boxes.

Su Tan'er's current room is the biggest sense of disobedience.I didn't mention where the things should be moved. After dark, it was getting late. Su Tan'er always had to sleep tonight. These things are piled up here. What should she do? She seems to have already forgotten.Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er probably thought about what they wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, some strange feelings and guesses emerged in their hearts. But no one asked any questions, and everyone was busy in silence, decorating peace.

Halfway through the Hai Shi, the people who came to visit have also returned one after another.After the surroundings quieted down, the three maids tidied up the room and cleaned it.When they had nothing to do and returned, Su Tan'er was playing backgammon with Ning Yi as a pastime.The three maids looked a little weird, sat on the side for a while and was bored for a while, then Xing'er drank tea, Juan'er was a girl red, Chan'er bored and counted the stitches on Juan'erna's insole, and then the three found another pair of Bamboo slices are made to play cards.

Su Tan'er lowered her head and didn't talk to Ning Yi. She just thought of something occasionally. She asked the three maids if the relatives had been entertained when they came over. Xing'er and Juan'er replied in a low voice.On the chessboard, the couple patiently blocked each other's chess pieces in a style that had not been taken out for a long time. They blocked each other with relish. They played absentmindedly with bamboo tiles. The three girls reported a number for each card they played. It's kinda cute.Something might happen tonight, and because of this possibility and complexity, the three maids are somewhat uneasy.

The only time when everyone was hot was when Ning Yi asked Chan'er if a lot of things were burnt, Chan'er replied that she didn't burn any valuables. Ning Yi estimated that she might burn some jewelry or something. Or your favorite clothes.Su Tan'er said to buy it for Chan'er in the future.

The atmosphere was weird, and the time became a bit difficult. Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er sometimes went out for a while, called hot water, made tea, and there were occasional conversations in the room.The time gradually came to the end, and I didn't know what would happen next. The host didn't sleep, and he didn't speak to tell them to leave, and they couldn't get away.But it seemed like Su Tan'er and Ning Yi could go down to tomorrow morning with relish.

In fact, Su Tan'er waved her hand embarrassingly at this time and said, "Go to sleep." The more time passed, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

Then, after midnight, the bell rang, and the surrounding yard became more and more quiet. Today was actually quite busy. Xing'er, who was playing cards, couldn't help yawning. Ning Yi glanced at her, Su Tan Er also looked over and finally said, "Uh, Xing'er, you are tired too. Go to sleep first." After she finished speaking, she held the pieces in her hands, lowered her head and continued to look like she was concentrating on chess. .The three maids got up to speak, prepared to leave, and packed up the refreshments, but Ning Yi tilted his head and greeted them one by one with a smile.During these movements, Su Tan'er's mood calmed down a little.

Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er walked out of the room. The figure in the corridor seemed to be doing the work that was to be arranged before going to bed.The chess game was played again. Ning Yi got up and went to the toilet in the yard next door. When she came back, she encountered Chan'er walking on the road. She was somewhat silent, holding a copper washbasin in her hand, but it was not a sign of loss or loss. The silence caused by depression, the girl's expression was a little complicated, this may be some feelings she can't handle yet, seeing Ning Yi, "Ah" softly.

"Didn't you say you're going to sleep?"

"The washbasin is gone, so go get one." Chan'er lowered her head.

The two walked over to the courtyard gate. After a while, Ning Yi didn't know what to think, and laughed softly. Chan'er looked at him, he was still laughing, it seemed that he was amused by these things today, and then, Chan'er couldn't help but laugh softly.When she walked to the courtyard gate, she whispered, "Uncle..."

"Ok?"

Chan'er looked at him: "Uncle wants... er, uncle wants..." She didn't know what she wanted to say, but after thinking about it for a while, the little girl smiled and shook her head: "No more." She hugged her face. The basin ran to his room.

******************

In fact, Su Tan'er's mood has been anxious all the time, and the more time progresses, the more anxious she becomes.It's like waiting for a big business to settle down, but she is familiar with business, but she is completely unfamiliar with this kind of thing.

She was 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 what the next step would be.I don't know if Xianggong will and can't summarize these emotions, I don't know how it will develop next, what kind of dialogue there will be, and I don't know if Xianggong will suddenly say, "Where do I stay tonight?" If he really asked, How should I answer myself?

All kinds of messy moods, but now I can only see walking.After Ning Yi left for a while, she sat there feeling uneasy, then got up and walked a few steps back and forth, not knowing what to do.I picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that the potted plant behind the screen in the dining room seemed to be lacking 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's footsteps had also returned.

She took a breath and went back with the teacup, wondering how long she would play Gobang, but found that Ning Yi's figure had already walked to the bedroom, as if she was worried about a lot of furniture that was stuffed randomly. Su Tan'er put down the teacup and walked over: "Master."

"Tsk." Ning Yi smiled, "These things have made a mess in the room, let's clean it up."

All kinds of table and chair items crowded the room into chaos, mainly because some small things, baggage, boxes, etc. were placed on Su Taner's table and stool when they moved in, and now they are all mixed together. , since then no one said to clean up.Su Tan'er nodded: "Okay, okay."

She walked past the cabinet that was a little blocked and moved a chair away. Ning Yi had already walked in and began to summarize his personal belongings. Su Tan'er also opened some bags and took out Ning Yi's clothes. Organize, and occasionally pass the things at hand to Ning Yi.

"The Analects, Mencius..."

"The manuscript of the lecture..."

"The jade pendant of Guangyuanzhai, tsk, this one is still there..."

"These drawings... should be useless."

"Uh, there should be another copy of this, where is it..."

"Whose fan is this? Mine?"

Although Ning Yi is relatively light on material desires, there are still a lot of these things at this time. When the two got married, although Su Tan'er escaped from the marriage, under the instructions of the old lady, they still prepared various items. All kinds of things were given by various people later, or collected by Ning Yi himself.At this time, the two were arranging in a small space, and it took a lot of time to sort and put them away.Su Tan'er sat back by 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.

"These large items can't be placed tonight." Ning Yi put a chair in front of the desk, "I'll ask someone to tidy it up tomorrow."

"Well." Su Tan'er nodded, and for a moment, she felt the edge of the bed beside her vibrate, and her body suddenly jolted.Ning Yi also sat down beside him.

Ning Yi didn't come to her room for a long time. In the past, the most time was when she was sick, but even then, when he wanted to sit next to him, he moved a stool over to sit.This is her embroidered bed. In the past, there was only her breath, or she stayed with cousin Danhong for a few nights.But at this moment, the presence of a man suddenly approached.
