Chapter 27 第27章 The altitudes of several buildings 几层楼的高度 „Business not good......” “生意还是不好……” Crossroad that the wind and snow lower, Ning Yi is eating that fried cake on hand, while says with a smile. Nearby Nie Yunzhu looks at these cakes that on the vehicle have not been selling-out, faint purses the lips, soon after also patted clapping reluctantly: „Heavy snow day, no one buys.” 风雪降下的路口,宁毅一边吃着手上的那只煎饼,一边笑着开口说道。旁边的聂云竹望着车上没卖完的那些饼,微微抿了抿嘴,随后也是无奈地拍了拍手:“大雪天,没什么人来买啊。” „Has told you, lets you, when beginning of the spring time considers these again, has? Now suffered a loss.” “早就跟你说过了,让你等到开春的时候再考虑这些,有没有？现在吃亏了吧。” „Thinks with great difficulty, decided the matter that must be done a bit faster, if several months, does not know that the person can become lazy, when the time comes who knows is what thoughts.” “好不容易想好,决定下来的事情,当然得快点做起来,要是等得几个月,不知道人会不会变懒,到时候谁知道又是什么心思呢。” „Oh, I thought that you want to try to suspend feeling nothing more of stall......” “喔,我看你就是想试试出来摆小摊的感觉而已……” Although Nie Yunzhu sets up a stall later Ning Yi and future here, even if snows, Ning Yi is still the exercise that insists on to keep every day. Every morning two people would saying that on the stair before that small building last period of time words, now actually already is optional. The Nie Yunzhu cake stand business is not good, Ning Yi naturally knows, perhaps several days comfort early, cross one from also unavoidably to tease several. 尽管聂云竹摆摊之后宁毅并未来过这里,但即便下雪,宁毅也都是坚持每天不停的锻炼。每日清晨在那小楼前的台阶上两人总会说上一阵子话,如今彼此之间倒也已经随意起来。聂云竹饼摊生意不好,宁毅自然知道,早几天或许安慰一番,过得一阵自也免不了打趣几句。 One such as he said that Nie Yunzhu set up this stall is not because was compelled —— perhaps part of reason —— but to be certainly more, still made oneself adapt is ordinarier, one effort that's all of ordinarier life style. In the family/home the financial resource have not arrived at the embarrassed position that is truly beset with problems, at least these days, she has fun. 一如他所言,聂云竹之所以摆这个小摊也并非是因为生活所迫——当然或许有一部分原因——但更多的,仍然只是让自己适应更普通、更普通的生活方式的一种努力罢了。家中财力没有到真正捉襟见肘的窘迫境地,至少这一段时间,她还是乐在其中的。 „...... Yesterday's time saw to fall several people to the street that side, afterward almost hit, said was what bodyguard office...... also has the signboard of that side shop pounded couple days ago, almost pounded the person...... Hutao (walnut) originally with me together in this, but Er Niu (two cows) also came a moment ago, I made them buy some rice flour, I said intentionally something, must make them arrive at the Dongshi that side from here probably, made them live alone some long time......” “……昨天的时候看见对街那边摔了几个人,后来差点打起来了,说是什么镖局的……还有前几天那边店铺的招牌砸下来,差点砸到人……胡桃本来跟我一块在这的,不过刚才二牛也过来了,我就让他们去买些米面,我故意说了些东西,大概要让他们从这里走到东市那边去,也让他们独处长一些时间……” Ning Yi ate the fried cake, Nie Yunzhu in side was saying that verbosely the recent several days of stories, Ning Yi also chatted several with her, crossed good one, this cake stand no one patronized, Ning Yi patted snowflake with a smile: „This business, quits work, you can sell a lot point in any case was also the morning during that time, why now to have been suffering.” 宁毅吃着煎饼,聂云竹就在旁边絮絮叨叨地说最近几天的见闻,宁毅也跟她闲聊几句,过了好一阵,这饼摊还是没人来光顾,宁毅笑着拍了拍身上的雪花:“这生意,收摊吧,反正你能卖得多一点的也就是早上那段时间,现在何必还一直捱着。” He was saying took up a ground small backless stool to throw into the car, Nie Yunzhu waves: „Does not want, perhaps can also sell several, moreover this car(riage)...... I push motionless, every day sooner or later now the heavy snow day, will be Er Niu (two cows) will push......” 他说着拿起地上一张小板凳扔进了小车里,聂云竹挥了挥手:“不要啦,说不定还能卖几个,而且这车……我推不动的,现在大雪天,每天早晚都是二牛过来推的……” „I can push on the line.” “我能推就行了啊。” „Young Master Ning...... you have really not paid attention to the measuring appliance, where has Scholar talent to do this......” “宁公子……你还真不注意仪表,哪有文人才子干这个的……” „Where had what measuring appliance non- measuring appliance......” Ning Yi to smile, „, let alone the past few days asked your matter is also similar to today, now the also has time, how happen to have a look at the achievement, if the achievement were good, perhaps your cake stand could be saved.” “哪有什么仪表不仪表……”宁毅笑了起来,“何况前些天拜托你的事情到今天也差不多了,现在还有时间,正好去看看成果如何,如果成果不错,说不定你这饼摊就有救了。” „Is some salty duck eggs, you also added little salt......” Nie Yunzhu to curl the lip, say one, but listened to Ning Yi to mention this, then also no longer opposed, was to sell there the granny of cakes and pastries makes her help leave a message to nearby one, soon after also comes to pack the thing with Ning Yi. Passes the moment, somewhat profound and happily said the own Dao principle to Ning Yi. “不过是些咸鸭蛋,你还放少了盐……”聂云竹撇撇嘴,笑着说一句,不过听宁毅说起这个,便也不再反对了,到旁边一个同是卖糕点的老婆婆那儿让她帮忙留个话,随后也过来与宁毅收拾东西。过得片刻,又有些高深和得意地跟宁毅说自己的道理。 „Actually, these things I with Hutao (walnut) finally am not ripe, must arrive can curry favor with, that day that can make money, wanted on some time to try to find out that eventually adapted is good, therefore I am thinking, if did in the winter, every day did little, the rice flour of fee/spent were eventually less, perhaps to the beginning of the spring, can make money. If beginning of the spring time starts, the waste is also big, obtaining has the possibility to be familiar in the summer, therefore did on the morning is early good.” “其实啊,这些事情我跟胡桃终是不熟的,要到卖得好,能赚到钱的那一天,终究要过上好一段时间摸索适应才行,所以我想着,如果冬天做,每天做少一点,费的米面终究少些,说不定到了开春,就能赚钱了。要是开春的时候才开始,浪费也大,得到夏天才有可能熟悉,所以就早做早好了。” „You understand many but actually.” Ning Yi smiles, „do I look at you to want as soon as possible Hutao (walnut) marrying real?” “你懂得倒蛮多的嘛。”宁毅笑笑,“我看你是想尽快把胡桃给嫁出去才是真的吧？” „Also has this consideration.” Two people promote the car, from snow in going home direction in the past, Nie Yunzhu chuckle, „earlier time, is thinking the two sisters are bound by a common destiny, but eventually not possible such. Now she can find the own home to return, I was also happy for her. Heh, initially she and Er Niu (two cows) when together, but also old wants to hide the truth from me, afterward Er Niu (two cows) was emboldening to seek a marriage alliance I to know, she worried I alone do not have the means to look after oneself, therefore does not agree has married. Since when I she is Younger Sister, from cannot implicate her too for a long time is.” “也是有这个考虑啦。”两人推动小车,自一路积雪往回家的方向过去,聂云竹轻笑着,“早些年的时候,自是想着姐妹俩相依为命,不过终究不可能这样的。如今她既能找到自己的归宿,我也为她高兴。呵,当初她与二牛在一起时,还老想瞒着我,后来还是二牛壮着胆过来求亲我才知道,她担心我一个人没办法照顾自己,因此一直不肯嫁。我既然当她是妹妹,自也不能拖累她太久才是。” „Hehe, feared that was you will have the possibility to marry Er Niu (two cows) with Hutao (walnut) in the future together......” “呵呵,怕是你将来有可能与胡桃一块嫁给二牛了……” Nie Yunzhu by no means evades the such joke, at this time purses the lips smiled, seems like earnest pondered, soon after shakes the head saying: „Feared that is not good, the Er Niu (two cows) temper is straightforward, is good person, but could not speak to me. If I marry him, several years feared early can respect one another as one would a guest, several years later perhaps then by beating and scolding, when the time comes, anti- unexpectedly Hutao (walnut) is most difficult to do.” 聂云竹倒并不避讳这样的玩笑,此时抿嘴笑了笑,真像是认真的想了想,随后摇头道:“怕是不行,二牛性子纯朴敦厚,是个好人,不过跟我说不上话。我若嫁他,早几年怕是能相敬如宾,过几年恐怕便得挨打骂了,到时候,反倒是胡桃最难做。” „Dropping variance.” Ning Yi nods. “落差。”宁毅点点头。 Leads the way, across the noise bustling streets that the steam ascends, the inhabited area by the courtyard wall mansion gate of snow surrounding, near Qinhuai River the silvertree ice flower, the decorated boat large ship approaches shore, skewers of ties icy cold, the palace on the water dragon palace also resembles. The pedestrians are gradually few, two people are chatting with pauses, like operating fever cake stand quits work young husband and wife that now goes home, husband should be four body not industrious Scholar(egghead) pedantic scholars, this day comes out to help also wear the pretty long gown, the wife is diligent and virtuous, every day operates to burn cake stand to make money to help out with family expenses, anticipating in the family/home husband to have one day high school, results in the title with little power, brings honor to ancestors...... passes through a path time, after the rear area , the carriage comes fast, on the vehicle carriage driver is brandishing the whip: „Harnessed and harnesses...... makes way and makes way...... do not obstruct the road ——” Ning Yi to push the car and Nie Yunzhu stops to the roadside, carriage when passed over, the cart driver also stared his one eyes ruthlessly, he aspirates, opened the mouth to say in behind: „I am also unfair to” Nie Yunzhu to lower the head, the pursing the lips chuckle gets up. 一路前行,穿过热气升腾的喧嚣闹市,居民区被积雪包围的院墙府门,秦淮河边银树冰花,画舫楼船都靠了岸,一串串的冰凌结下来,水殿龙宫也似。行人渐渐少起来,两人有一搭没一搭地闲聊着,如同经营了一个烧饼摊如今收摊回家的年轻夫妻,相公该是四体不勤的书生腐儒,这种天出来帮忙还穿上漂亮的长袍,娘子则勤快而贤惠,每日经营烧饼摊赚钱贴补家用,期待着家中相公有一日高中,得一官半职,光宗耀祖……经过一条道路的时候,后方后马车飞快地过来,车上御者挥舞着鞭子:“驾、驾……让开、让开……别挡道——”宁毅推了小车与聂云竹到路边停下,马车过去时,那车夫还狠狠瞪了他一眼,他吐了口气,在后面开口道:“那我还对不起啦”聂云竹低着头,抿嘴轻笑起来。 In the mouth light snort/hum certain at sixes and sevens song melodies, Ning Yi is pushing the car to continue, Nie Yunzhu in the rear area looked at that back one, soon after with, gets up in car side-pushing hastily. 口中轻哼着某些乱七八糟的歌曲旋律,宁毅推起小车继续走,聂云竹在后方望了那背影一阵,随后连忙跟上去,在小车一侧推起来。 „Often listens to Young Master Ning continuously snort/hum these, does not know that is what melody.” “常听宁公子一直哼的这些,不知道是什么曲调呢。” „Sang blindly, is similar to the folk song that the inhabitant sang blindly. Uh...... ballad......” “瞎唱,就跟山里人瞎唱的小调差不多。呃……民谣……” Ning Yi described, the Nie Yunzhu chuckle gets up: „Rural customs ballad, before this, actually has studied......, why the elder brother has not come...... pū...... these unexpectedly and Young Master Ning these melody not too same......” 宁毅形容一番,聂云竹轻笑起来:“乡俗民谣么,这个以前倒也学过呢……嘿,阿哥为何还不来……噗……这些倒是与宁公子的那些曲调不太一样……” She lowered the sound to sing one, that voice limpid like water, quite delightful interesting to listen. But on the street after all cannot sing these places, but lowers the sound, blushing of her faint, soon after is covering mouth to smile. 她压低了声音唱一句,那嗓音清澈如水,颇为悦耳动听。但街上毕竟不是可以唱这些的地方,只是压低声音的一句,她微微的红了脸,随后捂着嘴笑了出来。 Ning Yi nods, soon after looks at her one eyes: „Right, you sang play the zither to be very fierce, yes?” 宁毅点点头,随后看她一眼:“对了,你唱歌弹琴很厉害,是吧？” In the past two people talked, although Nie Yunzhu said by the color amusement person, as without many obstructions, but Ning Yi naturally can see that she did not like the things of these amusement people, never took these things. He from arriving here, has not gone to what brothel clear/pain Guan, although many guessed correctly that Nie Yunzhu should be the class/flow of famous courtesan, but indeed cannot think of „name” to what degree. Has no relations to this time generally already, just now asked these words. Nie Yunzhu then also nods: „Um, has dropped down actually Kungfu / effort.” 以往两人交谈,虽然聂云竹自称以色娱人,似乎没有多少芥蒂,但宁毅自然能看出她不喜欢这些娱人的事情,也就从不提这些东西。他自到这里,就从没去过什么青楼楚馆,虽然多少猜到聂云竹该是名妓之流,但的确想不到“名”到什么程度。到此时大抵已经没什么关系,方才问出这句话来。聂云竹便也点了点头:“嗯,其实倒下过一番功夫的。” „Did such say fiercely......? expert?” “这么说……厉害？高手？” „Pū............ others naturally not possible like Ning Yi to ask probably” this words, Nie Yunzhu finds it interesting, smiled, soon after is stretching the smile, nods seriously, „Um, Concubine is expert!” “噗……大概是吧……”旁人自然不可能像宁毅一样问这种话,聂云竹觉得有趣,笑了出来,随后绷着笑脸,一本正经地点头,“嗯,妾身是高手！” „Oh, high to what degree?” “喔,高到什么程度？” That side tight smile broke the merit instantaneously: The joke that „before several buildings are so high......” remembers, some date and time Ning Yi play, Nie Yunzhu is replying, „does actually do Ah?” 那边绷紧的笑脸瞬间破了功:“好几层楼那么高啦……”想起前些时日宁毅开的玩笑,聂云竹如此回答着,“到底干嘛啊？” Just like this chatted, on that section of road of small cart also already arrived Old Qin entrance, poured unable to think that Kang Xian comes today, the sedan chair just stopped in the roadside, Old Qin also goes out, two people threw the surprise in that side the vision, soon after smile, actually does not know that said anything, Ning Yi waved to greet toward that side. Kang Xian then said toward here: „Why is Liheng this? But can help?” His several personal servants at present in side, if helps, naturally then can come momentarily. 正如此说笑,小推车也已经到了秦老门口的那段路上,倒想不到康贤今天过来,轿子刚在路边停下,秦老也出了门,两人在那边投过来诧异的目光,随后笑起来,倒也不知说了些什么,宁毅挥手朝那边打了个招呼。康贤便朝这边说道:“立恒这是为何？可要帮忙吗？”他的几个跟班眼下就在旁边,若要帮忙,自然随时便能过来。 Ning Yi stopped the car(riage) in the place several meters away, shakes the head: „All right.” soon after selected female who point(s) side: „Nie Yunzhu...... Old Qin and Old Kang...... we are all right in that side play chess......” are introducing. Nie Yunzhu collects a front piece ritual, both sides have greeted slightly, Ning Yi asked: „Old Kang later also in this?” 宁毅在几米外的地方停下了车,摇了摇头:“没事。”随后点了点身旁的女子:“聂云竹……秦老、康老……我们没事在那边下棋……”如此介绍着。聂云竹敛衽一礼,双方稍稍打过招呼,宁毅问道:“康老待会也在这吗？” Kang Xian nods: „Brings several types of good things, in the afternoon this/should in this, Liheng, if has free time, later may come with this Young Lady Nie together, enjoys some calligraphies and paintings.” 康贤点头:“带来几样好东西,下午该是在这,立恒若有空,待会可与这聂姑娘一同过来,赏些书画。” Ning Yi smiled: „Heh, just in time, some of my also good thing belts to come later, when the time comes studies together.” 宁毅笑了起来:“呵,正巧,待会我也有些好东西带过来,到时候一起研究一下。” „So good.” “如此甚好。” When spoke these words, Ning Yi then said goodbye, pushed the car vanguard. Until has transferred the corner of front street, Nie Yunzhu just now happy expression also already stopped: „Young Master just now asked the matter of temperament......” 待将这些话说完,宁毅便告辞,推起小车前行。直到转过前方街道的转角,聂云竹方才的笑意也已经停下来了:“公子方才问音律之事……” „Oh, I mainly am thinking, if here some songs can sing, whether you can help spectrum qin tune anything.” “哦,我主要是在想,我这里如果有些歌可以唱出来,你是不是能帮忙谱个琴曲什么的。” Nie Yunzhu nods, shows a self-confident smile: „Must be nothing issue, at least at this matter, various types of poetry sing songs also well, the rural customs ballad that Young Master just now said is also good, if Yunzhu cannot accomplish, feared that is in entire Jiangning City, few individuals can accomplish.” 聂云竹点点头,露出一个自信的笑容:“应当是没什么问题的,至少这件事上,各种诗词唱曲也好,公子方才说的乡俗民谣也好,若是云竹办不到的,怕是整个江宁城中,也没有几个人能办到了。” „Wah, is really several building that high Ah…...” Ning Yi then can estimate that probably the level of opposite party, is slanting the eye , indicating to hold in high esteem. “哇,真是好几层楼那么高啊……”宁毅这才大概能估计到对方的层次,斜着眼睛,表示刮目相看。 „Yes, the minimum 45 buildings, falling will plunge to death the person is so high.” “是啊,起码四五层楼呢,掉下来会摔死人那么高。” „That felt relieved.” Ning Yi thinks, soon after also added that „, but, the lyrics feared that was somewhat strange, was only among several people sings to listen to be good at will, feared that was does not ascend the place of refinement. You must have the psychology to prepare to be good.” “那就放心了。”宁毅想想,随后又补充道,“不过,歌词怕是有些怪,也只是几个人之间随意唱唱听听就好了,怕是登不得大雅之堂。你得有心理准备才好。” Nie Yunzhu nods: „Um.” 聂云竹点头:“嗯。” soon after, that small building of riverside was near. 随后,河边的那栋小楼近了。
