Chapter 42 第42章 A Night of Dragon and Fish Dance ( 8 ) 一夜鱼龙舞(八) When the carriage across the street toward the Su Residence direction goes back, the night market outside curtain is still lively. Su Tan'er sits in the compartment on side the seat, lowers the head is reorganizing some paper documentary evidences and so on thing, installs the documentary evidence the small wooden box on place by. The stance that the young girls and legs sit appears Shuya to be delicate, naturally compares the three small girl, appears mature, was used to the person of giving orders to have its makings, reorganized, she is also speaking with Ning Yi. 马车穿过街道往苏府方向回去时,帘外的夜市依旧热闹。苏檀儿坐在车厢里侧的座位上,低头整理着一些纸张单据之类的东西,装单据的小木盒就放在旁边。少女并腿而坐的姿态显得淑雅秀气,当然比之三个小丫头,又显得成熟很多,习惯了发号施令的人自有其气质,一面整理,她一面也在与宁毅说着话。 „...... Such words, must go to that side Grandpa to pay respects tomorrow morning, Concubine then does not go out, the husband words, will exercise after tomorrow morning, please come back...... to be right as soon as possible, what tomorrow morning that side the kitchen will prepare will be husband the vermicelli that will like eating......” “……这样子的话,明日上午还是得去爷爷那边请个安,妾身便不出门了,相公的话,明早锻炼之后还请尽早回来……对了,明早厨房那边准备的是相公爱吃的粉皮……” Now the above the skies Yuan, in the evening actually has spoken some words on already and Old gentleman, but there is this «Green Jadeite Bowl» matter, tomorrow will generally see him, Su Tan'er said, cannot bear and smiles. 今天上元,晚上其实就已经与老太公说过些话,不过有了这《青玉案》的事情,明天大抵又得去见见他,苏檀儿说完,忍不住又笑起来。 „husband each time is such unexpected, too Eh person.” “相公每次都是这样出人意料,太吓人了。” This month obtains after Ning Yi forgives initially she naturally no longer came to see Ning Yi with the beforehand vision, but tonight this word, stemmed from her to be unexpected, initially looked when also gawked the long time, is thinking actually the bottom line of this strange husband ability was at where. However meets later unexpectedly not to display the least bit with Ning Yi by the surprised appearance, at this time reorganizes the documentary evidence while spoke in a soft voice, attitude safely. Naturally, did not look at Ning Yi, but is calmly reorganizes the thing these little trick, is she does not make oneself have small method that's all that too many mood fluctuate as far as possible. 这一个多月来与宁毅取得初步谅解之后她自然不再用以前的眼光来看宁毅了,但今晚这首词,还是出乎她意料之外的,初看时也愣了半晌,想着这古古怪怪的相公本领的底线究竟在哪。不过与宁毅碰面之后倒是没有表现出半点受惊讶的样子来,此时一边整理单据一边轻声说话,态度安然。当然,不去看宁毅而是静静地整理东西的这些小动作,也是她尽量不让自己有太多情绪波动的小方法罢了。 So returns to Su Residence, passed through courtyards, Su Tan'er must go toward the father that side, probably for the evening with something that the person came to an arrangement about, turned the head to say with Ning Yi: „Hadn't husband rested at this time?” 如此一路回到苏府,穿过了一个个院子,苏檀儿还得往父亲那边去一趟,大概是为了晚上跟人谈妥的一些事情,转头与宁毅道:“相公这时还未睡吧？” Ning Yi nods, Su Tan'er said with a smile: „Later comes back, something give husband.” 宁毅点点头,苏檀儿笑道:“待会回来,有些东西给相公。” „What Ah?” “什么啊？” Su Tan'er blinks: „Keeps guessing.” 苏檀儿眨了眨眼睛:“卖个关子。” Must not be probably many with the matter that Su Boyong said that before long, stood in Ning Yi that on the 2nd floor corridor caught a chill then can see Su Tan'er one group to hit the lantern to come out from that side courtyard from afar. Separated far, the person's shadow appeared small, the ray of lantern vanished after the short espalier occasionally, soon after appeared from the corner. Quite lively must lose slightly east point side gate probably, the mid-night carriages and horses come back from that side, the light gathers there, the soon after spots moves toward entire Su Residence various places. 要与苏伯庸说的事情大概不多,不一会儿,站在二楼走廊上吹风的宁毅便能远远地看见苏檀儿一行人打着灯笼从那边院子里出来了。隔得远了,人影显得小,灯笼的光芒偶尔消失在矮墙树后,随后又从拐角处出现。比较热闹的大概要输稍东边一点的侧门,午夜时分车马都从那边回来,灯光汇聚在那儿,随后斑斑点点地往整个苏府的各处移动。 The yard like but actually peaceful in the past, the main branch person is not prosperous, this piece is not lively, after a while, Su Tan'er also came back with three girls, under resounds the lithe sound of footsteps. 小院倒还是如往昔般安静的,大房人丁不旺,这一片也不热闹,又过一会儿,苏檀儿与三个丫头也都回来了,下方响起轻盈的脚步声。 Little Chan boasts has run from downstairs, raises head to see Ning Yi, made a steamed stuffed bun face that is narrowing the eye, then runs in the small room to heat the hot water. On Su Tan'er who steps onto building to come raised bundle, arrives on the side of the pillar gently, presses bundle on the parapet. 小婵咋咋呼呼地自楼下跑过,仰头看见宁毅,做了个眯着眼睛的包子脸,然后跑进小房间里烧热水。走上楼来的苏檀儿手上提了个包袱,轻轻地走到柱子一边,将包袱压在栏杆上。 „Searching for her a thousand times among the crowd, I turn around suddenly...... She is there under the waning lantern light......” she is also reading low voice leisurely, after the moment, looked at Ning Yi one, smiles, „Little Chan said that husband is seeking fierce female assassin.” “众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首……那人却在灯火阑珊处……”她小声却又慢条斯理地念着,片刻后望了宁毅一眼,才笑起来,“小婵说相公在寻一个厉害的女刺客。” „Yes, what a pity with losing.” “是啊,可惜跟丢了。” „Why that does husband also write in the lights waning place?” “那相公为什么还写在灯火阑珊处？” Ning Yi shrugs: „Has what means. The word can only write Ah…... is not always good to write anything like this, I turn around suddenly, the person disappears, not rhyme.” female assassin ran away, he is also actually regrettable. 宁毅耸了耸肩:“有什么办法。词只能这样写啊……总不好写什么,蓦然回首,人不见了,不押韵嘛。”女刺客跑掉了,他其实也蛮遗憾的。 Su Tan'er is covering mouth gently, lies smiles unable to stop on bundle, soon after said: „Sometimes listened to husband to tell some stories, then somewhat felt faintly, is it possible that did husband really yearn for these Brigands to let the matter of hero?” 苏檀儿轻轻捂着嘴,趴在包袱上笑得停不下来,随后才道:“有时听相公说些故事,便隐隐有些感觉了,相公莫非真是向往那些绿林任侠之事？” „Does not want to work as what knight, but to that Qigong inner force and so on matter finds it interesting.” Ning Yi actually does not conceal, shakes the head, soon after fingers of downstairs, „Xiū can jump from below to above, then a fist can puncture a wall, hears some people able like this, therefore finds it interesting, today sees that female assassin with Little Chan, is very fierce, really has this ability, catching up suddenly, not average person.” “倒不想当什么侠客,只是对那气功内功之类的事情觉得有趣。”宁毅倒也不掩饰,摇了摇头,随后指指楼下,“咻的从下面能跳到上面来,然后一拳能打穿一堵墙,听说有人能这样,所以觉得有趣,今天跟小婵看见那女刺客,也很厉害,想必是真有这种本领的,突然间的发力,不似普通人。” Su Tan'er nods: „Concubine has also heard. When for these years went to outside area, they are being accompanied by Houseguard Geng, matter that occasionally also hears some Brigands strong people, these that but husband said are not many, even if is really the ominous person who Government arrests, actually is still three big five thick men, a brute force that depends on makes an all-out effort , the classes of some Heavenly Master children Daoist novice, but deceived people with some symbol water trick, Concubine has studied some, therefore did not believe. Really said that what inner force real strength, after practicing, such as the immortal is common, were too few, moreover heard that all since must practice since childhood, ten accomplishment, husband then found for several years now, feared also some late......” 苏檀儿点点头:“妾身也听说过。只是这几年去外地时,由耿护院他们陪着,偶尔也听说一些绿林强人的事情,但相公说的这些却不多,即便真是官府缉拿住的凶人,其实也不过是些三大五粗的汉子,凭的一股蛮力狠劲,也有些天师道童之流,不过拿些符水戏法骗人,妾身学过些,因此是不信的。真说什么内功真力,练了之后如仙人一般的,实在太少了,而且听说皆要从小练起,十数年才得建功,相公如今便是找到,怕也有些晚了……” Speaking of afterward, her smiled, looks at the Ning Yi expression, some took pleasure in others' misfortunes. She does not believe to listen to the temper that the way said that this interesting matter, she, if opportunity, must be confirmed accurately will lose heart, husband does not listen to give up obviously. Regarding that Searching for her a thousand times among the crowd, only considered husband to look for missing people at that time, the association while the whim lasts, no longer cared, shifted to other topic. 说到后来,她又笑起来,看着宁毅的表情,些许幸灾乐祸。她是不信听途说的性子,这种有趣的事情,她若机会,也是要得到确切证实才会死心,相公显然也不会听听就作罢。对于那众里寻他千百度,只当是相公当时寻人,兴之所至的联想,不再在意,将话题转向其它。 „Just now also listens to Little Chan to mention, at that time husband in that old friends building, except for Xue Jin, Uncle Chonghua unexpectedly also in? Was he made husband do not resist at that time, demonstrates the scholarship?” “方才也听小婵说起,当时相公在那旧雨楼,除了薛进,崇华叔竟也在？他当时是让相公不要推拒,展示一下才学？” Su Tan'er is the what kind of character, one hear of Little Chan raised then scene, naturally then understood the Su Chonghua thoughts, at this time got the answer from the Ning Yi smile, actually was turns the head, smiled reluctantly, soon after turn head said: „Idea of husband?” 苏檀儿是何等人物,一听小婵提起当时的情景,自然便明了苏崇华的心思,这时候从宁毅的笑容中得到答案,倒也是偏过头,无奈地笑起来,随后回头道:“相公的想法呢？” „Um?” “嗯？” „husband, if has no interest in that small academy, Concubine will then chat with Uncle Chonghua tomorrow.” Su Tan'er said with a smile, „husband, if liked that small academy, Concubine will then look for Grandpa to chat tomorrow.” “相公若对那小书院没兴趣,妾身明日便与崇华叔谈谈。”苏檀儿笑道,“相公若喜欢那小书院,妾身明日便找爷爷去谈谈。” Yushan Academy Mountain Head is Su Chonghua, but has actually been managed by Second Uncle Su Zhongkan invisible, is quite aloof in the Su Family position, but the average person thinks favors the second branch many point places. In the past Su Tan'er will not ask these with Ning Yi, but if at this time Ning Yi were really interested, her actually had confidence that must come here from Grandpa with Ning Yi together. Ning Yi shakes the head with a smile: „Taught a book to be good casually, the troublesome matter were many being able to bear, you also know I usually did not like anything this and that invited to treat with courtesy.” 豫山书院山长是苏崇华,但其实一直由二叔苏仲堪隐形地管理,在苏家地位比较超然,但一般人还是会认为是倾向二房多一点的地方。以往苏檀儿自不会跟宁毅问起这些,但这时候如果宁毅真有兴趣,她倒也有把握与宁毅一道将这里从爷爷那边要过来。宁毅笑着摇了摇头:“随便教点书就行了,麻烦事情多了受不了,你也知道我平时不喜欢什么这样那样的邀约应酬。” Su Tan'er nods: „That side and Uncle Chonghua said that...... it spoke the truth, Uncle Chonghua teaches the child, although is not good, the processing matter is very fierce, when he Mountain Head, husband is also leisurely and carefree there. Right, this to husband......” 苏檀儿点点头:“那边与崇华叔说说了……其实说起来,崇华叔教孩子虽然不行,处理事情还是挺厉害的,他当山长,相公在那里也悠闲。对了,这个是给相公的……” The words saying, bundle that will bring gives Ning Yi. 话说完,将拿来的包袱递给宁毅。 „What Ah?” “什么啊？” „Some hat and coat shoes and socks.” “一些衣帽鞋袜。” Su Tan'er said, is smiling turned around to go toward downstairs, Ning Yi looked: „Oh.” 苏檀儿说完,笑着转身往楼下去了,宁毅看了看:“哦。” Takes bundle to go downstairs, opens to the table on, actually indeed is some clothes and shoes and socks and so on, he takes up to come to see, Little Chan knocks on a door outside, soon after held abundantly the wooden basin of hot water to come in stealthily , the door closed: „Young Master washed the face. Does Young Lady take the clothes to you?” 拿着包袱下楼,到桌子上打开,倒也的确是些衣服、鞋袜之类的,他拿起来看看,小婵在外面敲了敲门,随后捧着盛了热水的木盆鬼鬼祟祟地进来,又将门关上:“姑爷洗脸了。呀,小姐将衣服拿给你啦？” „Um.” Ning Yi walks to wash the face, Little Chan uses finger to hold his back in side: „Young Master, Young Master, does Young Lady have with you raises the female assassin matter?” “嗯。”宁毅走过去洗脸,小婵在旁边用手指捅捅他的背:“姑爷,姑爷,小姐有跟你提起女刺客的事情吗？” „What matter did you say with Young Lady?” “你跟小姐把什么事情都说了？” „Doesn't Ah? have?” “啊？没有吗？” Ning Yi washes the face to turn head, sees a Little Chan face secretly anxious appearance, smiles: „Has said that what are you thinking?” 宁毅洗了脸回过头,见小婵一脸暗自焦急的模样,才笑:“说过了,你又在想什么呢？” „Young Master you think that if Young Lady did not tell you, was not generation of Maternal Side Young Lady places this matter at heart, that Little Chan should not say.” Little Chan relaxed at this time, smiled, „Little Chan has long known that Young Lady was not the such temper...... next time Young Master you do not write such to let the words and phrases that the person misunderstood, Little Chan hesitated a moment ago for a long time, feared that Young Lady misunderstood, however does not dare saying that to Young Lady Young Master are not related with that female assassin, writing the word should not refer to her, if explained that Young Lady instead thinks, but if did not explain that Young Lady instead oneself thought passed what's to be done, then............” “姑爷你想啊,如果小姐不跟你说,不是代表小姐把这件事放在心里了吗,那小婵就不该说了。”小婵这时松了一口气,笑了起来,“不过小婵早就知道的,小姐才不是这样的性子呢……不过下次姑爷你不要写这么让人误会的词句了啦,小婵刚才犹豫好久,就怕小姐误会了,可是又不敢跟小姐解释说姑爷跟那女刺客没关系,写词应该也不是指她,如果解释了,小姐反而会多想,但要是不解释小姐反而自己想过去了怎么办呢,然后呢……呀……” The small girl in side, Ning Yi could not bear quite puzzled shot with a smile on her forehead: „You think a lot.” 小丫头在旁边好生纠结地唧唧呱呱唧唧呱呱,宁毅忍不住笑着在她额头上弹了一下:“就你想得多。” Little Chan is covering the forehead: „Is, when maidservant must think of the aspects is good, Little Chan is very intelligent, hee......” small girl is to first be worried about Ning Yi tonight runs to look for that female assassin injured, afterward for this matter was saying intertwines with does not say, after saying, is starting to intertwine with the relations of Su Tan'er for Ning Yi, at this time finally felt relieved, slightly boasted one, asked: „Clothes did Young Master try?” 小婵捂着额头:“就是的嘛,当丫鬟的要把方方面面都想到才行,小婵很聪明的,嘻……”小丫头今晚先是担心宁毅跑去找那女刺客受伤,后来为着这事说与不说纠结一路,说完了之后又为着宁毅跟苏檀儿的关系开始纠结,这时候终于放下心来,小小地自夸一句,又问道:“衣服姑爷试了吗？” „No, bright taiping heavenly kingdom civil service examination.” “没有,明天试吧。” „It is not good, this is Young Lady is Young Master does.” “不行,这全是小姐为姑爷做的。” „Uh?” Ning Yi, has a look at that clothes, „cotton material probably several months ago has seen......” “呃？”宁毅愣愣,看看那衣服,“布料好像几个月前就见过……” „Young Lady several months ago started to do.” Little Chan leaves for on that cheongsam show/unfolds Ning Yi the ratio, „new cotton material of June of last year, at that time Little Chan also for Young Master quantity measurement, because Young Lady said that every year makes two sets of clothing to be good to Young Master, but Young Lady often has the matter, does not quickly, off and on off and on, said when new year's celebration to Young Master, changed the inside lining finally in the past few days, arrived at the first fullmoon......” “小姐几个月前就开始做了啊。”小婵将那件长衫展开往宁毅身上比,“去年六月的新布料啊,那时小婵还替姑爷量尺码呢,因为小姐说每年得给姑爷做两套衣衫才行,不过小姐常常有事,做得也不快,断断续续断断续续的,原本说过年时给姑爷,结果前些天改了改内衬,就到上元了……” „Made 2-3 sets.” Ning Yi finger/refers nearby closet. “做了2-3套了啊。”宁毅指指旁边的衣柜。 „naturally lets the weaving mother in mansion does, one set is Little Chan does with Juan'er and Sister Xing'er. This set was Ah… that Young Lady made personally... was right, Young Master sat down, tries the shoes.” “那是让府里的织娘做的啊,有一套是小婵跟娟儿、杏儿姐做的。这套是小姐亲手做的啊……对了,姑爷坐下,试试鞋子。” Ning Yi smiles, having a look at that long gown, Little Chan to squat there changes the shoes to him, small sound said: „Young Master...... can Young Master record Young Lady to get married left on that day?” 宁毅笑笑,看看那长袍,小婵蹲在那儿给他换鞋,小声道:“姑爷……姑爷会不会一直记着小姐在成亲那天走掉了？” Ning Yi has a look at her: „What are you thinking?” 宁毅看看她:“你又在想什么了？” „No, actually Little Chan felt Young Lady is very good, although...... although that time leaves to Young Master has little is not good, but she does not know that what person at that time Young Master you are. June time is very busy, although is such, after she thinks to be good, decided that makes the clothes to Young Master, because is a whole family. She said that since she already is the Young Master wife, every year is the Young Master seam makes two sets of clothes shoes and socks always to want personally, actually the Young Lady needlework is not too good, I with Juan'er and Sister Xing'er needlework am not very good, some Young Master that clothes places please weave mother OEM. But Young Lady does not have, sometimes also pretended very not attentively with the weaving mother in mansion and shop says the matter, then asked some knacks, because Young Lady does not want to gossip, Juan'er said that to Sister Xing'er made people think interesting. Therefore has made over six months, these things complete......” “没有啊,其实小婵觉得小姐是很好的啊,虽然……虽然那次走掉对姑爷是有一点点不好啦,不过她那时候也不知道姑爷你是什么样的人嘛。六月的时候很忙的,虽然是那样,她想好之后,也决定给姑爷做衣服,因为是一家人啊。她说既然她已经是姑爷的妻子,每年亲手为姑爷缝做两套衣服鞋袜总是要的,其实小姐的针工不算太好的,我跟娟儿、杏儿姐的女红也不是很好啦,姑爷那件衣服有些地方是请织娘代工的。但小姐没有,有时候还装作很不经心地跟府里和店里的织娘说事情,然后问些诀窍,因为小姐不想让人说闲话啊,娟儿跟杏儿姐说起来让人觉得好有趣。所以一直做了半年多,这些东西才做好……” Ning Yi smiled, having a look at that clothes, soon after to look to squat there Little Chan some little time, puts out a hand to mess up her hair ill-humoredly: „You have spoken your family Young Lady word of praise before me......” 宁毅笑了起来,看看那衣服,随后看着蹲在那儿的小婵好一会儿,伸手没好气地弄乱她的头发:“你就一直在我面前说你家小姐的好话吧……” This Little Chan has not hidden, raised the head, cute and smiles self-confidently: „Because Young Lady is very good.” 这次小婵倒没有躲,抬起头来,可爱而自信地笑:“因为小姐真的很好啊。” „Knows knew......” “知道了知道了……” „I help Young Master receive the clothes.” “我帮姑爷把衣服收起来。” Night, a moment later, Little Chan also leaves from the room, Ning Yi read several pages of books in the room. When sets out to open the window, in opposite room window, the lights are still shining, the Su Tan'er form is reorganizing the documentary evidence account there earnestly, writes something, the shadow screens from the window, is dedicated and earnest. Year end of the year, indeed merchant busiest time, this situation, pays back greatly must continue a while...... 夜深了,片刻之后,小婵也从房间里离开,宁毅在房间里看了几页书。起身推开窗户时,对面的房间窗户里,灯火还在亮着,苏檀儿的身影正在那儿埋头整理单据账册,写着些东西,黑影自窗户上映出来,专注而认真。年头年尾,正是商户最忙的时候,这情形,大抵还要持续好一阵子……
