Chapter 2 第二章 Poem and chess( «») 诗与棋(《》) The time passes. 时间流逝。 In an instant, arrived at this ancient times, the already three months, the time also shifted to the midsummer from the spring gradually. The botanical garden, rockery, pavilion, courtyard, street and decorated boat, Ning Yi was also familiar with this ancient world gradually, is only many times, would finding it silly. 转眼间,来到这个古代,已经三个月了,时间也渐渐从春天转向盛夏。园林、假山、楼阁、院落、街道、画舫,宁毅也渐渐熟悉了这个古代的世界,只是许多时候,总会觉得无聊。 Probably before is, was busy, now does not have the computer not to work, nothing can be done, would the sleep/felt going well itchy. Su Family is glad to see his bored, after all made him marry into the wife's household before, the reason to give Su Tan'er one keeps oneself home the reason that is insufficient to marry, but this reason, best without too many not be law-abiding. Naturally, generally speaking, he is enjoying this bored all, every day walks to stroll, had a look at the ancient favor local scenery, having a look at the ancient attendant, in the brain to think that some at sixes and sevens things, what were most was sees something to think oneself, if did, can make the profit enhance many times, how to make money. 大概是以前忙惯了,如今没有电脑没有工作,没有任何事情可以做,总会觉得手痒。苏家是乐于见到他的无聊的,毕竟之前让他入赘,原因就是为了给苏檀儿一个留在自己家里不至于嫁出去的理由,而这个理由,最好还没有太多的不安分。当然,总的来说,他还是在享受着这无聊的一切,每天走走逛逛,看看古代的人情风物,看看古代的仕女,脑子里想些乱七八糟的事情,最多的还是看见某件事物就想着自己如果来做,能让利润提高多少倍,如何赚钱。 boss works as too for a long time, the demon was startled...... him to ridicule oneself like this, therefore these things think, soon after precipitated the mind deep place. 老板当太久,魔怔了……他这样笑骂自己,于是这些事情只是想想,随后又沉淀回脑海深处。 Compared to his ease, oneself that nominal wife Su Tan'er obviously is very busy. However, busy in any event, she will basically go home to eat meal on time, from this significance, had the ancient advantage in the ancient times, the woman in any event not possible like the man casual, the rhythm that to say the least, worked in the ancient times does not have the modern age such unable to breathe, every day at the back of the computer, the airplane flies this to fly that the things of processing lots of information, in the information flow by no means rapid time, could not produce the such work madman momentarily, you can always find the time rest, because you issued an order, that side has not responded. 相对于他的悠闲,自己那个名义上的妻子苏檀儿就显然很忙。不过,无论如何的忙,她基本上会按时的回家吃饭,从这种意义上来说,古代就有古代的好处,女人无论如何都不可能像男人那样随随便便,退一步说,古代工作的节奏感也没有现代那样让人喘不过去,每天背着电脑,飞机飞这飞那,随时处理大量信息的事情,在信息流通并不迅速的时代里,产生不了这样的工作狂人,你总能找到时间休息,因为你下达了一个命令,那边还没反应过来呢。 Regarded the truly honest simple-hearted man oneself probably, every day sits together eats meal, provokes the topic also always she, the exchange information, active atmosphere, Ning Yi also speaks thoughtlessly to be perfunctory two, he sways back and forth so many years in the market, has fostered spoke thoughtlessly the speech not to make people think that in ability of being perfunctory, is much higher than the Su Tan'er tier number, therefore is eating meal each time together, Ning Yi will remember flickering shadow (movie) «Mr. and Mrs. Smith» in two people. 大概是将自己当成了真正老实木讷的男人,每天坐在一起吃饭,挑起话题的也总是她,交流信息,活跃一下气氛,宁毅也就随口敷衍两句,他在商场打滚那么多年,也早已养成了随口说话都不会让人觉得是在敷衍的本领,比苏檀儿段数要高得多,于是每次在一起吃饭,宁毅都会想起电影《史密斯夫妇》里的两人。 Eats meal, if rains, everyone in the respective room, Su Tan'er reads mostly, occasionally shoots play the zither conveniently, makes the needlework embroidery, he is pure is reads to write, or is in a daze, business the plate deduction that occasionally before looking for stretch/open paper does, often to do, comes up with the hypothesis for the stock market and so on, soon after thought that does not have meaning ——, only if there is urgent matter, Su Tan'er will also ride the carriage to go out. If the weather is good, Ning Yi basically is goes out to stroll, Su Tan'er will have a look at the shop workshop in city, two people go separate ways. 吃饭完,如果下雨,大家多半在各自的房间里,苏檀儿看书,偶尔随手弹弹琴,做做女红刺绣,他就单纯是看书写字,要不就发呆,偶尔找张纸做做以前常做的商盘推演,为股市做假设之类的,随后又觉得没意思——除非有急事,苏檀儿也会坐了马车出去。若是天气好,宁毅基本是出去闲逛的,苏檀儿也会去看看城里的店铺作坊,两人分道扬镳。 The maid named Little Chan has followed he, several months became took care of his maidservant probably specially, this was also the arrangement of Su Tan'er, could look at Little Chan to intend with him to maintain the relations, packed the thing in the room the association/will talked incessantly said that some words and gossips, where or Young Lady goes to where today, handled anything, regarding this Young Lady, could visit her very much to admire also likes very much, Su Tan'er to servant indeed was very good. But the response of Ning Yi, generally is also the nod smiles. Goes out sometimes this little miss with him in behind, he will also always feel sorry, walks tired sits in nearby Teahouse, eats a small dessert, the little miss will also put out the broken money to pay a bill from the fine small purse, making him feel that the ancient two ancestors probably were also the such life. 名叫小婵的婢女一直跟着他,几个月来大概就成了专门服侍他的侍女,这也是苏檀儿的安排,看得出来小婵有意与他搞好关系,在房间里收拾东西时总会唠唠叨叨地说些话、家长里短的,或者说小姐今天去了哪里哪里啊,做了什么事情啊,对于这个小姐,看得出来她很佩服也很喜欢,苏檀儿对下人的确是很好的。而宁毅的回应,大抵也就是点头笑笑。出门的时候这个小姑娘总是跟他在后面,有时候他也会过意不去,走得累了就在附近的茶馆坐坐,吃点小点心,小姑娘也会从精致的小荷包里拿出碎银子来付账,让他感觉古代的二世祖大概也就是这样的生活。 The modern age is also similar, he goes out goes shopping not...... the volume that uses oneself to swipe the card, seemed like already many years not to go out truly goes shopping. 现代也差不多,他出门买东西都不用自己刷卡的……额,貌似已经很多年没有真正出门买东西了。 He liked looking at the person to play chess in Qinhuai River recently. 他最近喜欢在秦淮河边看人下棋。 That riverside by no means calculates that too lively street, situated in the suburbs, the position slightly somewhat leaning, without the big shop, on the road many are the small merchant who some shoulder pole come, the pedestrian are not many, under a overlooking the river tree common Old Man there playing chess plate, occasionally several Old Man will look there, occasionally some Scholar(egghead) will also come, side has a tea stall, that was time he and Little Chan walks tired had a rest here, while drank tea on to look at will, both Old Man chess skills of playing chess were very high, he wants worthily to be in the ancient times, casual two. The old fogies get down such to be good. After that comes frequently, Old Man is fixed, the opponent often trades, but looked for a long time, was some acquaintances, the chess skill is generally very generally high. 那河边一处并不算太热闹的街道,处于城郊,位置稍稍有些偏,没有大的店铺,路上多是些挑担子来的小商贩,行人也不算多,临河的一棵树下常有个老头在那里摆棋盘,偶尔会有几个老头在那儿看,偶尔也会有些书生过来,旁边有个茶摊,那一次是他与小婵走得累了在这边歇脚,一边喝茶一边就随意看了看,下棋的两个老头棋艺都很高,他想着不愧是古代,随便两个老家伙都下得这么好。此后就常常过来,一个老头是固定的,对手则常换,不过看久了,大抵也是些熟人,棋艺普遍很高。 The such mental labor, generally was also he one of not many entertainment can find here. In fact Qinhuai River was at that time the recognized liveliest wasteful region, various decorated boat prostitute strongholds in groups, then became the white night to the evening, he is walking every day, hears some love matters frequently and so on, but everything must speak the discretion, since he is marries into the wife's household Su Family, with this kind of entertainment, generally insulated. However on him first was reads completely vividly on already to various extravagant things, currently will not naturally have very big interest. 这样的脑力劳动,大抵也是他在这边能找到的不多的娱乐之一了。事实上秦淮河是当时公认的最为繁华奢靡的地带,各种画舫妓寨成群,一到晚上便成了不夜天,他每天走着,也常常听说一些风流韵事之类的,只不过凡事要讲分寸,他既然是入赘到苏家,与这类娱乐,大抵是绝缘了。不过他上一世对各种穷奢极欲的事情就已经是阅尽了繁华,现在自然也不会有很大的兴趣。 A soon after day, the weather is somewhat cloudy, but it seems like rains also early, he and Little Chan arrive at the tea stall, is two Old Man below, approximately got down one, a person of male servant appearance comes toward here, said with old person several words, that old person nods: „Mister Qin, home has the urgent matter, this game of chess......” 随后的一天,天气有些阴,但看来下雨还早,他与小婵去到茶摊,又是两个老头在下,大约下了一阵,一名家丁模样的人往这边过来,与一名老人说了几句话,那老人点点头:“秦公,家里有急事,这局棋……” „At present makes no distinction between victory and defeat, how calculates the drawn game?” “眼下不分胜负,算和局如何？” „So good......” “如此甚好……” Two people said genteelly several, soon after old person walked, old person of playing chess booth started to receive the child, Ning Yi drank up the tea in hand, stood: „Has not resulted in looked, Little Chan pays a bill.” 两人文绉绉地说了几句,随后一名老人走了,摆棋摊的老人开始收子,宁毅一口喝完了手中的茶,站了起来:“没得看了,小婵付账吧。” Little Chan is putting out the purse, rear that old person opens the mouth: „This Young Master chessed recently, wants to come quite to have the attainment to this field of endeavor, but is willing to play weiqi one game with Old Obsolete?” Did not have the opponent, caught individual casually. 小婵正拿出荷包,后方那老人开了口:“这位公子最近都来观棋,想来对此道颇有心得,可愿与老朽手谈一局？”没对手了,随便抓个人。 „Uh......” Ning Yi gawked staring, has a look at sky, „general...... good.” “呃……”宁毅愣了愣,看看天色,“一般啦……好吧。” He sat opposite of old person , helping receive the chess time, naturally also has „where Young Master is person” and so on and so on matter, Ning Yi spoke thoughtlessly to reply several, received the chess, guessed the child, Ning Yi plays white to advance, he was impolite, takes board game piece pā put. 他在老人对面坐了下来,帮忙收棋的时候,自然也有“公子是何方人士”之类之类的事情,宁毅随口回答几句,收完棋,猜子,宁毅执白先行,他也不客气,拿着棋子啪的放上去。 „Uh, this opening......” that old person looks at his one eyes, soon after knits the brows, with below. “呃,这开局……”那老人看他一眼,随后只是皱了皱眉,跟着下。 So your child I child general idea got down more than ten, that old person brow wrinkles deeply, the doubts open the mouth saying: „The Young Master chess skill, does may I ask learn from who?” 如此你一子我一子的大概下了十几手,那老人眉头皱得更深,疑惑地开口道:“公子的棋艺,敢问是跟何人所学？” „Looked that chess manual oneself ponders over.” “看棋谱自己琢磨的。” „Oh, no wonder......” “哦,难怪……” After these words, old person actually no longer said, under the tree of riverside two people play chess silently, Little Chan sits in one side, occasionally raised the head to have a look at sky, she really does not understand to Go, but thought that under more that old person then thinks for a long time, a wrinkle was deeper, often raised the head to have a look at Ning Yi, or shakes the head occasionally, on the checkerboard white rising momentum, Heizi was killed gradually scattered about. 这句话后,老人倒也不再多说,河边的树下两人默默地对弈,小婵坐在一边,偶尔抬头看看天色,她对围棋实在不懂,只是觉得越下那老人便想得越久,一头皱纹更深了,不时抬头看看宁毅,或者偶尔摇摇头,棋盘上白子声势浩大,黑子渐渐被杀得七零八落。 About after more than one double-hour, old person dices to acknowledge the defeat, raised the head sized up the Ning Yi moment earnestly lightly, Ning Yi that as if feels all very interesting appearance: „Young Master chess strength...... excellent, but plays chess on method, whether some......” this old person is considering the word usage, Ning Yi is tidying up the board game piece, unexpectedly smiled: „Plays chess to strive for victory, like two armies pitted against each other, where has the division of method?” 大约一个多时辰后,老人投子认负,抬起头来认真打量了宁毅片刻,宁毅还是那副淡淡的似乎觉得一切都很有趣的模样:“公子的棋力……高超,只是下棋的手段上,是否有些……”这老人斟酌着用词,宁毅收拾着棋子,倒是笑了笑:“下棋求胜,就像两军对垒,哪有手段之分？” „Playing chess is the gentleman studies......” “下棋乃君子之学……” „old person thought that plays chess disposition that can see a person.” Ning Yi spoke thoughtlessly, received board game piece places, „correct??” “老人家觉得下棋可以看出一个人的心性。”宁毅随口说着,将棋子一颗颗地收回来,“准吗？” old person gawked staring, slightly one hesitates, soon after actually shakes the head to smile, puts out a hand to tidy up the board game piece: „unexpectedly not.” 老人愣了愣,微一沉吟,随后倒也摇头笑笑,伸手收拾棋子:“倒是不怎么准。” Tidies up the checkerboard, saw that sky cloudy wants the rain, Ning Yi and Little Chan goes back in the Su Residence direction, all the way, Little Chan looked his look unexpectedly becomes somewhat astonished, cannot bear ask: „Did Young Master win?” 收拾好棋盘,眼看天阴欲雨,宁毅与小婵往苏府的方向回去,一路上,小婵看他的眼神倒是变得有些讶异,忍不住问道:“姑爷赢了？” „, Was is not good to look at the chess with the lingering fear again in the past.” “啊,以后怕是不好再过去看棋了。” „Why Ah?” “为什么啊？” „You looked that he did not think I was bad person?” “你看他不是觉得我是坏人了么？” „Playing chess thought that Young Master is bad person?” The little misses turn head looked at one, „is because Young Master won him, he was angry...... the granddad bearing to be really young.” “下盘棋就觉得姑爷是坏人？”小姑娘回头看了一眼,“准是因为姑爷赢了他,他生气了……老公公气量真小。” This saying naturally also spoke thoughtlessly, person who that old person also quite had the self-control, naturally cannot be angry for this matter, but this time Go spoke the discretion very much, among the friends played chess, frank and upright, the point, some aggressive even clung to for dear life loses demeanor technique not to abuse rottenly, but played chess this matter in Ning Yi is pure mental ability gambling, in addition the imbalance of both sides information content, although old person also has the considerable high chess strength, was killed by Ning Yi one after another small method is utterly routed, was gave Ning Yi brings the modern people to bully the ancient people at heart. Feeling of satisfaction. 这话自然也只是随口说说,那老人也是颇有涵养的人,自然不会为了这种事情而生气,只是这时候的围棋很讲分寸,朋友间下棋,光明正大,点到为止,一些咄咄逼人甚至死缠烂打失了风度的手法就不会乱用,但下棋这种事情之于宁毅不过是单纯的脑力博弈,再加上双方信息量的不平衡,尽管老人也有着相当高的棋力,还是被宁毅接二连三的小手段杀得溃不成军,也算是给宁毅的心里带来了现代人欺负古代人的小小满足感。 On this day goes home, Su Tan'er is also coming back from outside, little maidservant named Xing'er is greeting several people to move the cotton material toward the Young Lady room, probably is the new goods, colorful. Sees with own eyes them to come back, Juan'er unexpectedly in building held a Damu (great wood) box to get down: „Young Master, Young Master, Young Lady heard that Young Master likes playing chess very much, today took to the streets to see, bought to give Young Master specially.” In fact is the ritual that others deliver, Su Tan'er does not use, takes carry back conveniently, box that nevertheless installed Go. Ning Yi unexpectedly Eh jumped: „Like this, thanked the wife for me.” 这天回到家,苏檀儿也正从外面回来,名叫杏儿的小丫鬟正招呼着几个人往小姐的房间搬布料,大概是新货,花花绿绿的。眼见他们回来,楼上的娟儿倒是捧了一个大木盒下来:“姑爷,姑爷,小姐听说姑爷很喜欢下棋,今日上街看见了,特意买回来送给姑爷的。”实际上是别人送的礼,苏檀儿用不上,顺手拿回来的,却是个装了围棋的盒子。宁毅倒是吓了一跳:“这样,替我谢谢娘子了。” „Young Master oneself thanked.” The little misses crack into a chuckle, runs up to the building, Ning Yi shakes the head, carries Go to return to the room, here no does the person of understanding, get down with whom? “姑爷自己谢吧。”小姑娘嘻嘻一笑,又跑上楼去,宁毅摇了摇头,端了围棋回房,这边又没什么认识的人,跟谁下呢？ Juan'er went to the room, several removing goods person already go out from the courtyard, she studied the Ning Yi sound: „Young Lady, Young Master said that ‚thanked the wife for me’.” soon after was being looked Su Tan'er of account knocked a forehead conveniently, master and servant several people are grow up together, although is speaking the high and low, but always also has like the sisters affectionate sentiment, but Su Tan'er in busy, actually is not good too many jokes, looked at the account, Su Tan'er carefully looked at these cloth, at this time Chan'er and Xing'er also came. Sees Chan'er, her unexpectedly smiled: „Today follows Young Master to go to look to play chess?” 娟儿回了房间,几个搬货的人已经从院子里出去,她学了宁毅的声音:“小姐,姑爷说‘替我谢谢娘子了’。”随后被正在看账册的苏檀儿顺手敲了一下额头,主仆几人算是从小一块长大的,虽然讲着尊卑,但一向也有着如同姐妹般亲昵的感情,不过苏檀儿在忙碌的时候,倒也不好开太多的玩笑,看完账册,苏檀儿仔细看了看那些布匹,这时候婵儿、杏儿也进来了。看见婵儿,她倒是笑了笑:“今天又跟着姑爷出去看下棋了？” „Um.” The Chan'er small head swung swinging, „cannot understand.” “嗯。”婵儿小脑袋摇了摇,“看不懂。” „Go I do not like.” Su Tan'er shook the head, went out goes home to be busy at a morning, at this time can rest slightly, took up on the table is suspending xuan paper conveniently, frowns to ask Chan'er: „Is this really the poem that Young Master writes?” “围棋我也不喜欢。”苏檀儿晃了晃脑袋,出门回家地忙了一个上午,这时候才稍稍能休息一下,顺手拿起桌上摆着的一张宣纸,皱起了眉头问婵儿:“这真的是姑爷写的诗？” That xuan paper is Chan'er brings in the morning conveniently, at this time the probe head looked, then confirmed: „Yes, I see Young Master to write, said that practices calligraphy.” 那宣纸是婵儿早上顺手拿过来的,这时探头看了看,便即确认:“是啊,我看见姑爷写的,说练字呢。” Su Tan'er knit the brows to look at several, just now put, this poem was Chan'er brings in the morning hastily, soon after Su Tan'er then prepared to go out, ran everywhere half morning, came back some time to look, Xing'er of below surface has not just now looked, seeing the Young Lady expression was rich, is interested to look. Three maidservant actually study poetry to keep a promise, at this time in the hand, actually also wrinkled the steamed stuffed bun the small face. 苏檀儿又皱眉看了几眼,方才放下来,这诗是婵儿早上仓促拿过来的,随后苏檀儿便准备出门,到处跑了半个上午,回来才有时间看,方才在下面的杏儿也还没有看过,见小姐表情丰富,感兴趣地过来瞧。三个丫鬟其实都有学过诗文算数,这时拿在手中,却也将小脸皱成了包子。 „Three floating lotus pond (son-of-a-bitch)...... the raft may have Ai to think, dewdrop...... wet wall of sand, evening quiet dawn quiet...... what meaning Ah?” “三藕浮碧池……筏可有嫒思,露珠……湿沙壁,暮幽晓寂寂……什么意思啊？” In another side room, Ning Yi stands before the table reorganizes the xuan paper manuscript, the preparation is taking away to discard or burn down, he practiced calligraphy to write ten pages yesterday, this discovered that was short, slightly pondered, nevertheless shook the head to smile: „You can understand blamed......” 另一边的房间里,宁毅站在桌前整理着宣纸稿,准备拿去扔掉或烧掉,他昨天练字写了十页,这才发现少了张,略想了想,却是摇头笑了起来:“你们能看懂就怪了……” soon after, has the thunderstorms. 随后,下起雷雨来。 The summer heavy rain comes is violent, in everywhere sound, sky was dark to seem like the evening, but in the such weather opened the window, looks at outside to soak that botanical garden hotel in heavy rain, some actually quite leisurely and carefree meaning, looked at the past from here, occasionally can also find Su Tan'er with several little maidservant at the scene in the opposite room taking a walk. Before long, when Chan'er takes some color cotton materials are coming, Ning Yi before the desk opens that box of Go to look: „Young Master, Young Lady said that this is the recent silk, making the servant girl measure to Young Master, makes the body clothes, which color Young Master has a look to like.” 夏季的大雨来的就是猛烈,漫天声响中,天色暗得像是到了傍晚,不过这样的天气里推开了窗户,看着外面浸在大雨中的那一片园林宅邸,倒也颇有悠闲的意味,从这边看过去,偶尔也能瞧见苏檀儿与几个小丫鬟在对面房间里走动的情景。不一会儿,婵儿拿着一些颜色的布料过来时,宁毅正在书桌前打开那盒围棋看:“姑爷,小姐说这是新进的丝绸,让婢子给姑爷量量,做身衣服呢,姑爷看看喜欢哪种颜色吧。” „Casual.” “随便。” „Making the new clothes cannot be casual.” The little misses mumbled are saying, took up the flexible rule to measure the height length of body to Ning Yi. Ning Yi looks at outside heavy rain, soon after has a look at the nearby little miss. “做新衣服可不能随便。”小姑娘嘟嘟囔囔地说着,拿起软尺给宁毅量了身高体长。宁毅看着外面的大雨,随后看看身边的小姑娘。 „In the afternoon has the matter?” “下午有事吗？” „All right.” “没什么事呢。” „Plays chess.” “来下棋吧。” „Servant girl cannot Go.” “婢子不会围棋。” „Under Go, I do not teach under you Gomoku.” “不下围棋,我教你下五子棋。” „Gomoku?” The little misses look up him, in the eye flashes through the look that confuses, has not heard this chess Ah…... “五子棋？”小姑娘抬头望着他,眼中闪过迷惑的神色,没听说过这种棋啊…… Therefore, this always the somewhat peaceful small courtyard, to the afternoon, then can hear to have the cheering sound of little miss frequently to get up, although usually in can also be peacefully calm, but Su Tan'er 18 -year-old, her nearby three little maidservant are only the 14 or 15 years old ages, really meets the interesting matter, somewhat is unavoidably unconventional. In another side room, Su Tan'er sits before the window reads, Xing'er and Juan'er two small girl are arranging the platoon to sit on the small backless stool embroider, occasionally hears in opposite noise of the rain transmitted „me to win me to win” indistinctly the cheers, raised the head to visit unavoidably curiously, so repeated several times, Xing'er is broken finger by needle, sucked the fingertip in the mouth doubts looks around toward that side. 于是,这个向来有些安静的小院落,到得下午,便常常能听见有小姑娘的欢呼声响起来了,虽然平日里还算得上安静沉稳,但苏檀儿十八岁,她身边的三个小丫鬟都只是十四十五岁的年纪,真遇上有趣的事情,也难免有些忘形。另一边的房间里,苏檀儿坐在窗前看书,杏儿与娟儿两个小丫头正排排坐在小板凳上刺绣,偶尔听见对面的雨声中隐约传来“我赢了我赢了”的欢呼声,就免不了好奇地抬头望望,如此重复几次,杏儿被针扎破了手指,将指尖吮在嘴里疑惑地往那边张望。 „Chan'er this girl, how......” “婵儿这丫头,怎么了呢……”
