Chapter 214 Chapter [-] Family Affairs
Two moments later, when Long Boyuan and Ding Wanjun were sitting and chatting with each other in Yihe Garden, on the West Lake, a painting boat was slowly sailing along the blue waves.
This is a comfortable boat specially made for swimming in the lake. The boat is one-story, and the whole body is exquisite, but it does not look ostentatious.Although the weather was hot at this time, after noon, the wind on the lake was strong, the boat was lightly veiled and ventilated on all sides, and the cabin felt cool.
Afternoon, boat, West Lake.If the time is set in the west, it is only around two o'clock in the afternoon. Even though the spacious cabin is not hot, the spacious lake with only one or two shadows of boats is enough to bring a sleepy atmosphere.If there are other ships passing by, you should also be able to find that in the cabin at this time, the owner of the painting boat has already fallen asleep on the bamboo cool bed. The tables and chairs in the cabin are low, and there is a chess scale with black and white chess pieces. Quietly placed next to the entrance of the cabin, it shows the fact that there were people playing chess here not long ago. The chess players were probably two young girls dressed as maids next to them. At this time, the two of them leaned against the ship wall and fell asleep. A girl hugged another girl's waist, and put her head on her shoulder. The girl who was hugged held a fan in her hand, and occasionally fanned it.
In front of the window on the other side of the cabin, there was also a young girl sitting on a low stool, lying on the small table in front of her, sorting out the things at hand with blurred eyes.She is probably the only one who is awake in the cabin, with a brush in her hand, she is dealing with things on the book that looks like an account book in front of her, occasionally sketching something, it is probably not something very important, after sketching for a while, she also yawns and lies on the table He squinted for a while, then forced himself to cheer up, raised his head in a daze, rested his chin with one hand, and continued to rummage with the other.
In the scorching summer, the leisurely scene of the light tulle in this painting boat is enough to be painted.Naturally, there are also boatmen and others on the painting boat, but basically they will not come here to disturb the sleep of the master.After a while, the maid who was sorting out the account books by the window finally couldn't bear it any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know when, vaguely, a figure came over, tied up the tulle flying around the window, and then took the thin blanket to cover the three maids.After all, it was windy on the lake, so since I fell asleep, I had to take some precautions.
The maid who was sorting out the account books opened her eyes slightly, and in the blurred eyes, she saw a tall and tall figure swaying back and forth on the bow of the boat, doing what is called a warm-up exercise. With a sound, the figure plunged into the lake.
Maybe it's time to get up.The servant girl thought in her heart, but soon, another white figure walked by on the side of her vision. He sat down on the side of the boat, leaning against the railing on one side of the boat. Although he was awake, he still seemed a little sleepy.
The wind blew, and the white skirt fluttered gently, along with a few strands of hair that were untied due to a nap.
A faint voice came from the front. The hostess held the railing with both hands and shook her head. Even from the back view, one could tell that the hostess was in a lazy and happy mood. It was probably that the uncle let her go into the water to play again.
The relationship between the hostess and the son-in-law is very enviable. Even though she has seen a lot of big family affairs as a maid, she has never seen a couple with this kind of relationship anywhere else. Harmony and mutual respect can be described as a guest, but on the premise that my son-in-law is the husband-in-law, it can even be called strange.Every time she thinks about it like this, the maid named Xing'er can't help but think about what her future husband-in-law might be like, if she can also feel this way, then that's fine, if not, then she won't get married , maybe it's okay, anyway, I will stay in the Su family for the rest of my life, and the young lady and uncle treat me pretty well.
My own situation is relatively special compared to the situation of other big families.She is the eldest maid under the young lady, and under normal circumstances, she will also be the housemaid, but the uncle is married, so the possibility that she will be arranged for the uncle is not high.Ordinary ladies would not arrange three maids by their side. My own lady asked for two more because she later showed her face outside and took care of business.The young lady and the uncle have a good relationship, and now the relationship between Xiao Chan and the uncle is probably settled, but she and Juan'er don't know what will happen in the future.
It used to be quite clear.
Like them, the young lady also has status in the family. In the future, she will be betrothed to a powerful servant or shopkeeper in the family, and she will continue to be a maid in the Su family.At that time, their husbands and sons-in-law will also be favored in the Su family. They will also have status and will not be bullied. Compared with other maids, they are the easiest group to live happily.
Everyone's life trajectory is similar, so there is no need to think too much about it, but in the past two years, after seeing some better things, my heart feels a little empty.The subsequent settlement seemed to suddenly become nothing more than a settlement.
The lady waited until very late to get married, but she and Juan'er are already old now, and she doesn't know when she will be called by the lady to talk about these things. She doesn't know if Juan'er has thought about it, but She's been thinking about these things occasionally lately.
Since the young lady has already woken up, she can't sleep anymore, but with the atmosphere in front of her, it's not good for her to just get up like this, so she lay here and squinted her eyes to watch.After a long time, it was about Shen time, the sky in the afternoon became clear, my uncle came up from the lake, went to the side cabin to change clothes, and Chan'er and Juan'er, who were sleeping together in their arms, had already woken up Come on, the maids went to the rear to prepare tremella and lotus seed soup, and took a box containing ice cubes, knocked ice particles out of it, and the cabin became lively just now.
For more than a month, the family often wandered on the West Lake for an afternoon.
At this time, transportation and information were not well-developed, and the regional and exclusive nature of the business community in a place was much stronger than that of later generations.Ning Yi accompanied his wife to visit businesses everywhere, usually in the morning.Starting from Long Boyuan, the head of the trip, there are basically arrangements every day. Of course, after the visit, he is relatively free. If it is not necessary, he usually finds a place to visit to cool off the heat.
They are all a family, so they don’t need to entertain, so they can be more casual. After trying a few places, Su Tan’er spent money to buy a painting boat, and occasionally came out of other people’s homes, and went directly to the boat. Eat lunch, then take a nap, spend the afternoon on your own, chatting and playing chess, discussing decisions in the market.Now Ning Yi and Su Tan'er have similar information, and there are quite a lot of topics. He has always kept silent in other people's homes, but when there are only husband and wife, he will talk about his views after today's visit and the attitude of the other party. , What kind of gifts should be sent, what will happen in the future, etc. In this way, several small cooperative businesses have also been facilitated.
It’s just that it’s hard to do big business for the first time in Hangzhou. In such an exclusive market, Ning Yi and Su Tan’er’s thoughts are just to let everyone understand “I’m here” in a few months. ", "There is one more merchant in the market, but we are not different from other merchants." When everyone gets used to it, it is time to really promote Jiangning fabric art.
Relatively speaking, the money spent on buying painting boats, buying houses, and other kinds of sightseeing is already more than the initial business investment. However, it was only a small amount of money in the initial stage, and Su Tan'er didn't mind it.
She and Ning Yi, the husband-in-law, had fun and leisurely, and they were quite harmonious in various things, which made everyone who met them envious.Now under the pressure of her sister, Wen Dingwen Fang, who temporarily accepted her temper to help with things, would occasionally come to spend an afternoon on the boat, and Ning Yi asked them to get off the boat for a swim.
When it comes to swimming, Su Tan'er is actually a little against it. In this era, people who have a family, a job and status, do this kind of thing in public, after all, it makes people think it's not good.Su Wending and Su Wenfang also thought the same way, but Ning Yi heard that they could swim, so he kicked them both down one by one. Su Tan'er had nothing to do about it, not to mention that she herself was tossed by Ning Yi once Water, as long as there are no cruise ships around, she has to let Ning Yi's hobby of swimming go.
The launch into the water was naturally not voluntary, and of course, it wasn't like the two younger brothers were kicked off by Ning Yi.At that time, Ning Yi had already exercised several times, and the water quality in his memory gradually recovered. He told Su Tan'er several times to try to go into the water, but Su Tan'er would not even bet on the other party's business. come to gamble.At that time, Ning Yi only went into the water for a while, thinking about it in his heart, suddenly made a sinking look, thumped a few times, and said it was cramping.The boatman and the waiter above the painting boat were out of sight, only Su Tan'er was there at that time, she was stunned for a moment in astonishment, and then she just jumped off in her dress.
She only swam when she was a child, and she said she could swim, but in fact, her water quality was limited. In a hurry, she almost drowned herself, choked on several saliva, and only realized she was cheated after being hugged by Ning Yi.She looked at Ning Yi with a cold face, as if she had a stern face that was rare in front of her men, Ning Yi held her face and kissed her mouth, and she was struggling desperately.
Su Tan'er was originally a woman with a strong personality and strong opinions. She was gentle in front of Ning Yi because of her upbringing. At this time, her mood was ups and downs, and general comfort could not fool her at all. Later, she wanted to board the boat, but she was still dragged by Ning Yi After swimming a few laps in the water, I struggled a few times at first, but then I accepted it.When they got on the boat, they kept quiet with a straight face, scaring Chan'er Juan'er and the others until the evening. After washing up, she dealt with the account books at the table with a straight face, and refused to go to bed, so Ning Yi went over. He opened one over there, and took one away over there. He didn't say until Su Tan'er stared coldly at him about to have a seizure, "Sleep."
"Don't sleep..." Su Tan'er straightened her neck and spoke word by word. Before she finished speaking, she was thrown on the bed by Ning Yi, and then the two began to fight.
The three maidservants outside were terrified, and Chan'er was so anxious that her hands were clenched into fists. Fortunately, Su Tan'er didn't yell for others to go in.After a while, the room became quiet, and the three of them didn't know what happened.On the bed in the room, Su Tan'er was pressed down by Ning Yi's left hand on both wrists, but she bit on Ning Yi's right arm. His eyes stared straight at Ning Yi from below.
Ning Yi let her bite, and after a while, he said, "Tigress."
Su Tan'er hated her silver teeth, and forced her mouth again, blood seeped out again.Ning Yi didn't even move his eyebrows, the two just stared at each other for a while, Ning Yi smiled and leaned down: "I know a tiger tamer, his hands are full of marks of being bitten and caught, it can be seen You will always be bitten in this business." As he spoke, he kissed Su Tan'er's eyes. Su Tan'er's eyes were staring at first, but he bent down and had to close them. Feeling humiliated, he wanted to bite hard, but He had already tasted the fishy sweetness between his lips, and felt relieved, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let go, you get out!"
"Don't let it go."
"You...you..."
"A married person?"
"..." Su Tan'er originally hated and didn't know what to scold, but at this time her face suddenly turned pale. She looked at Ning Yi's face, her eyes were full of emotions, and she didn't know how to say: "I, I No……"
The three maids who were listening to the window outside faintly heard the word "to marry", and their faces turned pale. Su Tan'er and Ning Yi have been married for two years. This is the first time they have quarreled, but the three maids understand that they can argue about anything , but if you quarrel with this word, the consequences will be disastrous.
Su Tan'er didn't know if she had moved her emotions just now, she looked at Ning Yi's smiling face, and her heart cooled down.But even if she has experienced so many shopping malls, she can't tell what Ning Yi's mood is at this time. Ning Yi smiled and still didn't let her go: "It's useless, I still don't let go." He propped his bleeding right hand beside Su Tan'er.
"I...you..." Su Tan'er pursed her lips, "I...I didn't say that..."
"It's useless to say, anyway, you are married to me... It doesn't make any sense to me whether you marry me or not. Your family members may think so, and people outside may think so, but in fact they don't, no matter what I say Those who marry you will end up with the same thing. If I really want to do something, few people can stop it, those in Jiangning can't stop it, those in Hangzhou can't stop it, and those in the Wu family can't stop it Hold on, father-in-law and grandpa can't stop them... I don't do some things, just because I really don't want to do them."
Ning Yi whispered in her ear, without too much emphasis: "I was very touched when you jumped down today... You are my wife, not because I married into your Su family."
Su Tan'er's face changed rapidly, and he said in embarrassment: "You, what are you talking about..."
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that I was very moved today because you jumped off without even thinking about it. When I was moved, you lost your temper. This is very wrong. You obviously swam very happily afterwards. But I keep keeping a straight face..."
"I, I didn't...you let me go..."
"Oh, and, I want to tell you, manly man, if you don't let it go, you won't let it go..."
While speaking, Su Tan'er was still struggling, and suddenly felt the movement under her body, her almond eyes rounded, and her face suddenly turned red.
"You you you... you can't... like this..."
"But I think this is very exciting..."
"Your hands are still bleeding..." She was almost crying.
After a long time this night, Su Tan'er was able to bandage the wound on Ning Yi's arm.When the two were lying on the bed and were about to really fall asleep, Su Tan'er recalled a bit, only to realize that he was being talked about by the other party, and the subject was twisted.
"Ning Liheng, I haven't said anything yet, I'm very angry today..."
"But it all showed."
"You didn't apologize..."
"..." Ning Yi was silent for a while, stretched out his arms to embrace his wife, and sighed, "What...a man, he won't apologize if he makes a mistake."
"...you rascal."
"Actually, next time you can ask me why I want to marry."
Su Tan'er's body tightened: "Why?"
"Forget, have you forgotten that I lost my memory?"
"..." The woman was silent, "Let me go."
"Ok?"
"I'm going to sleep with my back to you..."
So she slept in Ning Yi's arms with her back to him all night. When Ning Yi asked her how she felt when she jumped down the next day, she refused to say anything. In fact, she couldn't remember what happened at that time. In the mood, Xu is not in the mood, just jumped down like that, but it is impossible for her to tell Ning Yi about these things.
In fact, for two months, ever since she knew that Qin Yuyuan had invited Ning Yi when she went to Beijing, Su Tan'er always felt contradictory and complicated in her heart.For more than a month, Ning Yi accompanied her to visit her family. After the other party knew that Ning Yi was the husband-in-law, she always had various eyes. All kinds of thoughts inevitably came up, especially in June when the news came that Qin Yuyuan had become the prime minister, and the word "zuizhu" became more and more sensitive in her heart.
It was after this quarrel that some emotions in her heart calmed down a little.It's just that Ning Yi wants to get off the boat to swim, and sometimes let her go down, anyway, there is no one around, Ning Yi doesn't mind his family doing some sports, but Su Tan'er is already killed and will not go into the water, just for his husband People are somewhat worried about going into the water. Once Ning Yi goes down, she sits on the side of the boat and watches. Sometimes when Ning Yi comes over and talks to her in the water beside the side of the boat, she asks her to take off her shoes and socks and immerse her feet in the water .In fact, many women in this era are more proud of their feet than their bodies. If they see a boat approaching from a distance, they will immediately put their feet up, cage them in the hem of the skirt, and quietly put on their shoes and socks.
Although they have been in Hangzhou for more than a month now, except for the routine visits every day, the husband and wife are actually just living in their own world, only occasionally interacting with Lou Shuwan, and Lou Shuwan's two elder brothers, Lou Shuheng and Lou Shuwang, have met each other a few times. Occasionally, when returning home at dusk, Ning Yi would watch at the intersection a group of strong men in Liu's Martial Arts Hall punching. Sprinkling down from the tree gap, Xiaochan or other family members are by his side, the days are leisurely and interesting.
After mid-June, a stranger came to visit the mansion. This person was related to Qian Xiwen. His name was Shi Changqi. After hearing Ning Yi's name, he came to pay a visit. After the status of son-in-law, it seems that he has changed from being dumbfounded to going to the government to apply for it...
