Chapter 219 Sleep for one night

Chapter 219

The sun is shining brightly, the boat undulates slightly with the rippling water waves, and the buzzing sound of tourists can be heard from afar.Ning Yi and Xiaochan were sitting on the side of the lake on the painting boat. In the field of vision, there were still ships coming from a distance, and the sky flew over the companion birds.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

After sitting down, the atmosphere between the two was a little silent.Xiaochan didn't sit upright, and sat sideways on the edge of the chair. This is a somewhat restrained way of sitting. If it is in an ordinary house, the maid would not dare to sit upright in front of the master. She has already let go of those formal respects, and suddenly she has such an attitude, which may only mean that she is thinking about some difficult things to decide. Seeing that the fingers of her hands are still twisted together, Ning Yi stretches out his hand and holds her One hand was held in the palm, the palm was white and small, after putting it in Ning Yi's hand, it trembled slightly, but it finally made Xiaochan take a breath.

"Uncle, Uncle..."

"Ok?"

"Grandpa...can you promise me something?"

The girl asked timidly, and her words gradually turned low. Ning Yi smiled slightly: "If you don't tell me something, I don't know if I can do it."

"I, I want my uncle to agree to me. If I tell my uncle later, if... if my uncle disagrees, don't tell the lady, okay..."

"Oh? Can't you tell your lady?"

"It's not..."

Chan'er shook her head softly, one of her hands was held by Ning Yi, and she felt a little relieved. At this time, she thought for a while and decided to speak, but her face gradually turned red.

"Grandpa, grandpa, can you... tell the lady, say... say... tonight, no, or tomorrow night... any day... the uncle and the lady, come out for one night, and don't live with the lady OK……"

It was difficult for her to say it, and it was quite ambiguous, and it was too presumptuous for her to let the two masters live together at night as a maid.Ning Yi was slightly stunned, Xiao Chan should also be aware of the ambiguity of the words, her face was red and white and anxious for a while, she was usually just a simple and cute smiling face, but at this time all kinds of expressions were mixed together, The left hand held by Ning Yi shrank and wanted to pull it back, but Ning Yi exerted force on her hand and couldn't pull it back, so she touched her right hand, lowered her head, and bowed her body on the chair. Ning Yi had already I couldn't see her face, but felt that her skin was about to burn, not only the palms of her hands, but also her originally fair neck was already burning red.

"My aunt just needs to be with Xiaochan, accompany Xiaochan...my aunt just needs to sleep with Xiaochan for one night."

She finished speaking with all her strength, and lowered her forehead to Ning Yi's hand. In the shadow of the ship's side, the girl's thin body seemed to be curled up in front of Ning Yi.Ning Yi thought for a while, then sat down a little, put her forehead on his shoulders, and sighed: "Wait a few days, pass the door, isn't it all right?"

There is a ship coming in the distance, if you look carefully, you may be able to see the situation here, but right now Ning Yi doesn't care, Xiao Chan slightly shook his head on his shoulder: "No, it's not the door..."

After saying this, she moved her body back, stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes, and slightly raised her head to show a forced smile: "Xiaochan thought about it, but the door is closed, Xiaochan... Xiaochan and uncle, uncle that After you get married, you can just be a roommate, and you don't need a title, that's fine too."

Ning Yi looked at her and didn't speak. His concept is different from the people at this time. Fame and status are indifferent, but for Xiao Chan and others, this is impossible.As far as the concept is concerned, the bed attendant can be a maidservant or a concubine. With the ceremony, there are multiple names. Even if the concubine's status is not high, what many maidservants pursue can only be These names, for them, may have some important symbolic meaning.

Even if Ning Yi can rely on his own influence to make this family as harmonious as possible, as weird as possible, but for Xiaochan and others, there are always some things that cannot be eliminated.In fact, it is not just the identity of a concubine. With the intimacy between Ning Yi and Xiao Chan, more things can be done between the two of them. The reason why Ning Yi did not move forward is because he knows that at least for Xiao Chan. In other words, those rituals should be meaningful.

She is just a maid, but there can still be a ceremony, this ceremony may be small, maybe only a few people in the family participate, but at least in that ceremony, she can also be valued like ordinary women, worship heaven and earth, offer tea, there will be A bridal chamber candle.These will be meaningful in her life, so Ning Yi hopes that these experiences of hers can be completed, but at this time she said that as long as there is one night, one can imagine what is on her mind.

Not knowing what to say for a while, Xiaochan looked at him with pleading eyes.She can't tell the lady about this matter as a maid, and she also knows that Ning Yi has status in the family, so she begged Ning Yi to speak up.After a long while, he added: "I, I have thought about it for a long time..."

She tried her best to calm down and said in a low voice: "I, Juan'er and I didn't follow Miss's maid originally, only Sister Xing'er followed Miss from the beginning, and later Miss said that she wanted two helpers, Juan'er and I We just arrived at the side of Miss. We have always been helping Miss with things. If we really pass through the door, the family will have a different opinion. Maybe they will say that Xiao Chan is a concubine, so it is not good to show her face again. It's not easy to manage things, otherwise you will be said to be restless. Even if I, I follow my uncle, I will still do things with my lady..."

Speaking of this, I looked up at Ning Yi: "Don't think about it, I like you very much, but...but... Anyway, Xiaochan can take care of me, and she can help the lady or serve the uncle, it doesn't matter ..." Her voice lowered, and then she returned to normal, "Also, there are Juan'er and Sister Xing'er, we are all maids, if I follow my uncle, my identity will be different in the future, and we may not be able to get along with each other. It used to be so good... I have a very good relationship with Juan'er, and I regard Sister Xing'er as my own sister, so I don't want to be alienated..."

Having said that, the courage in her heart finally ran out, and Ning Yi organized a speech: "I... will not talk nonsense with your lady, but with her shrewdness, if I say it, I will deal with it as you think, Do you think she can't figure out that this is your idea? Or that she can't figure out what you think? "

"Uh?"

"Think about it, what will happen to your lady after I relay it?"

"Unexpectedly..."

"She may find you to pretend to lose her temper, but in the end it's a result..." Ning Yi played with her slender fingers, "Some things are decided by this era, but for me, I really... like you very much, I don't want to let you go, Xiaochan..." He clasped his palms together, wrapping the girl's palms in them, "You only want one thing in your life, do you want to marry?"

Xiaochan obviously didn't understand some of Ning Yi's vocabulary, but she just blushed slightly at this time: "Xiaochan, Xiaochan was originally a aunt and a young lady, it doesn't matter if they marry or not... But I don't want to let Miss is not happy..."

"Since you said that, let me and your lady deal with it, huh?" Without answering Xiaochan's second half sentence, Ning Yi smiled and made a decision. Xiaochan was stunned for a while, and then ordered Nodding, showing a shy smile.Many things may not have a perfect solution. At this time, Ning Yi is just a little moved, but he may not have specific ideas. Of course, some things may not need to be really solved. In fact, it is enough to make Xiaochan feel confident.

In the previous life, I was in such a circle and reached the highest point. In the surrounding environment, wives are rarer than mistresses, and one-night stands are often more practical than love. Money and power cannot bring true feelings. On the contrary, the more material desires, Everything around is getting more and more distorted.After a lot of experience, he is tired and yearns for pure things, but it does not mean that he will completely idealize these things.

Su Tan'er's sudden emotion, Xiaochan's lovable compromise is all part of this innocence, and the distress between the two is part of this era. At this time when there is no concept of monogamy, It's not really a serious matter.

Ning Yi took care of this matter and said a few words of comfort. I believe that Ning Yi's Xiaochan also became more cheerful.At this time, I recalled that I just begged Ning Yi to sleep with her for one night. She was shy again, said a few gossips like "the clouds in the sky are like fish scales, so strange", and ran away in a hurry. He wanted to take her off the boat to watch a group of great talents reciting poems, but naturally he couldn't find her at this time.

Despite the delay, in fact, most of the people who are going to be here today have already arrived.Xiaoyingzhou itself is a narrow and long ring-shaped island. Although it is a beautiful water garden at this time, it is not as large as later generations, and there is no place on the island where a large number of people can gather. There are a lot of people here, and people are walking, sitting, and enjoying the scenery in the forest at this time, which seems to be somewhat similar to the outing.

However, of course there are poetry fairs. At this time, ships of all sizes moored on the shore are almost connected together. The real poetry festival is not held on the shore first, but on several large ships parked on the shore.

"Liqiu is still too hot. It is not a custom to hold a poetry meeting at this time. It is a precedent set by Xiong Ruming, who was the magistrate here a few years ago. In the end——Of course, that's what I said, but the problem is actually not that big of a problem. Prefect Xiong invited many people to visit the island, asked the big households to provide some supplies, and asked talented scholars to write some poems and write about the community of everyone. At that time, the spirit of difficult times invited Qian Xiwen, Qian Gong, Mu Bochang Mu Gong, and Chang Yu An Changgong to help build momentum. Now that Chang Gong has passed away, but this poem will be preserved in the beginning of autumn. If not, they A gathering of literati will not invite so many businessmen to make a big splash."

It was about the same time. Luo Tian, ​​who had been strolling below for a while, also arrived on the boat, and was about to pick up his wife to go to the official meeting. Speaking of the reason for the Liqiu Poetry Meeting, Ning Yi thought for a while: "I'm afraid it won't be very harmonious. ?”

"There were noble people who satirized businessmen with poems, but some people would refute them with the events of the year. At that time, those who were rich contributed money and contributed powerfully, and gained a good reputation for everyone. And please Those who came here, more or less have a background in poetry and prose, just like Zhuo Jing, she was also a talented woman with some reputation back then, hehe... Actually, the Liqiu Poetry Fair is not as utilitarian as it used to be. There will be a banquet carefully prepared by the chef of Fuqinglou, and some water lamps will be put on at night to pray for blessings, it is quite lively..."

After Luo Tian finished speaking, he led his wife away. When Juan'er was packing up the tea bowl and fruit plate, Su Tan'er pulled Ning Yi aside, and said softly: "Just now I saw Chan'er's eyes turned red, did she say something to you?" ?”

Ning Yi relayed Chan'er's request to her, Su Tan'er was silent for a moment, put his forehead on Ning Yi's shoulder, and did not speak.
