Beyond the Divine States Chapter 39: : The snow is like a dream, and the clothes are like a torch
The sedan chair came from the gray mist, and the laughter and joy of Yinggeyanwu came from the gray mist.
The cold wind blew the car curtain, and Ning Changjiu’s eyes did not move away. The face was very immature, looking only seven or eight years old, but at such a young age, she put on light makeup and the corners of her eyes were red. , The eyebrows are dotted with three dots, like Jiaochun stamens.
The sedan curtain fell quickly, and Ning Changjiu looked at the distant back of the sedan chair and frowned.
That is Ning Xiaoling.
The dignity between her brows and eyes is not Ning Xiaoling, the delicate makeup on her cheeks is not Ning Xiaoling, and the beautiful dress embroidered with phoenix dance is not Ning Xiaoling.
But he confirmed that it was Ning Xiaoling.
He followed.
This sedan chair drove to another big mansion. It seemed to be a luxurious courtyard. The courtyard wall was not high or low, and the wooden sign on the door said "Splendid Cave Sky". The sedan drove away. For a long time, and then stopped at the door, a girl in a luxurious skirt fell to the ground with the help of the maid. She rubbed her cheek and walked into the garden.
Ning Changjiu's body lifted up lightly, crossing the courtyard wall silently, his eyes attached to the little girl.
Ning Xiaoling walked in the garden, with the small toes of the shoes under the skirt showing out from time to time, and the footprints were evenly distributed in the snow, like a cat stomping on it dexterously.
Unexpectedly, this garden was not shrouded in gray fog. In the meantime, you could see the slender bamboo, piled snow and green pine, and you could see the wooden pavilion with bird's wings tilted up in the distance, and you could see the ponds. Lotus leaf-shaped stone steps.
Ning Xiaoling walked leisurely in this garden, her gaze sometimes fell under the snow-pressed winter plums on the branches, and sometimes fell in the Daiwa room on the red pavilion. She seemed to be familiar with everything here, and There is no meaning of life.
At last she came to an old well and looked down the well.
In the winter, only the well water did not freeze. She leaned over and watched, patted her cheek lightly, as if she was looking in the mirror, and the maid next to her saw this scene and quickly pulled her away, as if I was afraid that the little girl would fall.
Everything seems quiet and ordinary.
She wandered around in the garden for a while, then took a sedan chair to a nearby temple, burned incense and worshiped. The little girl seemed to be a frequent visitor to that temple. When she came, all the monks in the temple met Luxiyi, a slightly blessed monk greeted him, smiled and said something, the little girl nodded gently, and the maid next to her opened her purse in a grieving manner.
Ning Xiaoling took out a lottery from the monk's lottery. Ning Changjiu's eyes fell on the lottery, and she was stunned.
"A family with the same life as the sky?"
How could such a sentence be written on the temple's sign?
The little girl sent the sign back.
He followed into the temple, pretending to be a pilgrim, and bowed silently.
After that, Ning Xiaoling left the hall, he adjusted his clothes, and followed gently.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, the sedan chair went around and returned to the narrow alley. The little black and small girl I saw earlier climbed up from the ground, and again carried the bucket towards the well. While walking.
Ning Xiaoling walked down from the sedan chair. She seemed to have known the little girl from a poor background for a long time. She figured out something from her sleeve and stuck it to the little girl. The maid next to her frowned to persuade her.
The little girl looked at the girl who was slightly older than herself in a daze. For some reason, she burst into tears, turned and ran back towards home with an empty bucket.
Ning Xiaoling looked at the back of the girl in the old jacket leaving, sighed lightly, and put the broken silver that she wanted to give back to her purse.
She turned her head, looked behind her, Ning Changjiu's heart moved, knowing she saw herself.
At this time, Ning Xiaoling combed his forehead with a half-circle of hanging hair, and only tied the knot with a red string behind his head, which looked very cute and cute.
She smiled introvertedly, blessed her body slightly, and asked childishly to the boyish voice in a white shirt: "Who is this son? Why have you followed me since I left the house? You followed me when I was in Fairview Park, and when I went to the temple to worship the Buddha, you also followed me. Now I am still with me, I don’t look like a bad person, I don’t see the son.
Ning Changjiu asked: "What's your name?"
Ning Xiaoling said angrily: "You son is rude, how can you ask someone else's name when you come up?"
The two maids next to us gently greeted them and reprimanded: "Which scholar are you from, what are you looking for with our young lady?"
Ning Changjiu calmly said: "It's none of your business."
The maid immediately showed an angry face: "Where did the apprentice come from, miss, don't pay attention to such a person, let the master know that he will be angry."
Speaking, she immediately covered Ning Xiaoling's eyes with her hand. Ning Xiaoling turned around obediently and entered the sedan chair.
Ning Changjiu frowned when he looked at the delicate and graceful "Ning" character behind the sedan curtain.
This time, instead of following, he walked forward along the footsteps of the little **** the ground.
As a result, the sedan chair followed up instead.
"Hey, wait." Ning Xiaoling got off the sedan chair and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ning Changjiu calmly said: "I thought I was looking for you, but now it doesn't seem to be."
Ning Xiaoling curiously asked: "What are you talking about?"
Ning Changjiu said: "I am still not sure who you are, but you must not be Ning Xiaoling."
Ning Xiaoling fragrant cheeks bulged, and said angrily: "You look a lot older than me, but my husband also said that people who rely on old people and sell old people are the most hateful. My parents who gave birth to me and raised me, they said I am who I am, it doesn’t count if you say it."
Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "Then take me to meet my parents?"
Ning Xiaoling suddenly said: "Oh, I understand, you must be the scholar who failed the exam and wanted to cheat my dad, so you have been following me. There are many poor scholars who want to see my dad these years, but my dad He has a very high vision, and ordinary poetry is really insignificant. What poetry do you have, read it to listen?"
Ning Chang thought for a long time, and said: "There really is a sentence."
Ning Xiaoling asked: "What?"
Ning Changjiu said: "Chang [Penquge 5200www.bqg5200.me] is born in the Immortal Mansion, and lives with the heavens."
Ning Xiaoling's face changed slightly, and she said angrily: "This is a sentence from the book. Although I am a woman, I have also been to a private school. You don't want to bluff me."
Ning Changjiu looked at her immature and delicate face, and suddenly felt pity in her heart, and asked: "Anyway, the time has not come yet, do you want to walk around the city together?"
Ning Xiaoling frowned, shook her head and said: "What other places in this city can compare to my home?"
Ning Changjiu said: "Just walk around, if you don't want it, it doesn't matter."
Ning Xiaoling should have refused, but she was silent for a while before she said: "Well, this girl wants to see what tricks you are going to play?"
The maids next to them were shocked and discouraged. Ning Xiaoling rubbed her ears, looked at Ning Changjiu, and asked: "Can the two sisters go together?"
Ning Changjiu nodded and said: "It's up to you."
So the sedan chair was carried back to the mansion first. Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling walked in front. You said something to me, and the two maids followed behind, with a worried expression on their faces.
Ning Xiaoling said: "This son, brother, do you know me?"
Ning Changjiu nodded and said: "Know."
Ning Xiaoling pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Yes, who does not know me in this city?"
Ning Changjiu asked: "Are you famous here?"
Ning Xiaoling gave him a surprised look: "I'm the young lady of the Ning family, who doesn't know me?"
Ning Changjiu smiled slightly: "Ms. Ning came here for the first time, please ask Miss Ning to take me around the city."
Ning Xiaoling snorted, looked at him distrustfully, and said: "Your surname is Ning too? Don't want to get close to this lady."
Speaking, she took a small step and walked in the snow ahead.
Ning Xiaoling's hands are wrapped around her chest, and some long hua skirts gently sweep across the snow, the long hair behind her head is beautiful and soft, and the small and exquisite hair knots that are swayed gently with her steps.
The little girl stopped slowly and brushed the snow off her shoulders. She looked at the Dianzhi Xiaolou in front of her and introduced: "This is an elegant gathering. Drinking tea on the first floor and reading on the second floor, my husband often takes me Come here, go up and have a look?"
Ning Changjiu glanced at the second floor and gently shook his head: "No need, there is no Yaxing today."
Ning Xiaoling teased: "I thought you were a nerd, but now it seems that you are not even a scholar."
Ning Changjiu smiled without answering.
I didn't go too far, a courtyard door appeared in the field of vision. The courtyard door was old and upright, and the plaque had the words "Article God Come" on the plaque. The dark brown pillars beside the courtyard door were old and full of water. Old and dark as stains.
Ning Xiaoling took a look and said, "This is where I study."
Ning Changjiu nodded gently: "The two-character strokes of the article are correct and meticulous. The word'God' is fresh and handsome, and it is a good place."
Ning Xiaoling was a little satisfied after hearing this, and nodded gently: "That's natural."
Seeing that Ning Changjiu didn't mean to go in, she led him on.
Bypassing the two curved streets, in the cold snow, suddenly there was singing, and it was clear and faint. Every tune seemed to be attached to the snowflakes, floating up and down one after another, and the singing matched the xylophone The sound, the slightest buckle, you can vaguely imagine the appearance of the slender white jade fingers hooked on the pitch-black plum-blossom coke tail piano.
Ning Xiaoling also slowed down, looking along the position of the singing, and he could see a tall building with eight sides, brightly lit, and the phantom of a woman undulating.
Below the tall buildings, the stamens of several spring trees are half withered, standing in the snow, but they appear lonely and lonely.
"Rouge Xuan,
Splendid Garden,
The pear trees are full of snow and peach blossoms.
Look at the lantern feast in the Xiaolou tonight,
It's all good times.
Qing Si Wan,
Makeup change,
Cut the haze around the elbow.
Why envy Yuyi Qingxiang?
I made my own immortal class.
Lotus crown,
White hosta,
No need to count Jinse Yanhua.
When you are waiting for your child, the jade toad hangs in the sky,
Go to Baiyun View again..."
……
"When I am waiting for my son, I will hang the jade toad in the sky, and then go up to the white cloud..." Ning Changjiu whispered softly, as if thinking of something, his eyes moved up, but only the clouds and snow, not seeing Chanjuan, he asked: "This What is the name of the first word?"
Ning Xiaoling waited for the sound of the piano to fade, and then replied: "The guest on earth, according to legend, was a romantic son who was sleeping in a drunken song house for seven days. At the end he woke up and spoke. Everyone knew that he was a woman. The immortal outside the world, with his pen and words, he will go to the moon and clouds."
Ning Changjiu nodded and said: "I'm not here, I wake up sooner or later."
Ning Xiaoling remained unmoved, and said to herself: "This is the Shuiyue Rouge Tower, the favorite place for scholars and scholars, and an oiran named Shiyan is especially famous. It is said that he was born with a natural beauty. The song should have been played by her skillfully, but ordinary people can't see it. Should this lady take you to meet the world?"
Ning Changjiu's voice is very soft, as if he doesn't want to interrupt the long-lasting piano sound, "No, listening to the lyrics of the piano is better than seeing people. Let's go, I'm a little hungry."
Ning Xiaoling stroked her lower abdomen and blurted out: "I'll take you to eat tofu noodles and spring rolls, so I'm full."
Ning Changjiu looked at her quietly, with a slight smile on his face.
Ning Xiaoling was startled slightly, seeming to realize that she had said something wrong, and immediately said: "I am tired of the delicacies of the mountains and the sea on weekdays. What's wrong with some clear soup noodles? The master often said..."
"Okay." Ning Changjiu rubbed her head, interrupted her, and said: "Go, young lady will take me to eat tofu noodles and spring rolls."
Ning Xiaoling secretly rolled her eyes.
The two were seated, and soon, two bowls of steaming noodle soup were served. Tofu was mixed in the noodles, with very light oily water and a few green onions floating on it.
Ning Xiaoling picked up the chopsticks and gently stirred the noodle soup, the hot white air smeared on her face, and the elegant makeup seemed to be slightly diminished.
Ning Xiaoling suddenly lowered her voice and said, "The boss here is very nice. Every time I come, I will bury half an egg under the surface."
Speaking, she used chopsticks to fork out the half of the egg, flaunted it, looked around again, re-dipped it in the soup, and ate it in small bites.
Ning Changjiu took a bite with him. The tofu was a little bland and the soup was a little salty. He remembered the food made by the master sister Guanzhong and the miserable face of the second brother in his memory, and he couldn't help laughing.
Ning Xiaoling saw him smiling happily, she became a little unhappy, and asked: "What are you laughing at?"
Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "Little Miss is really a good person."
Ning Xiaoling looked at him for a while, and said: "This is something that the neighborhoods of ten miles know, now you are a foreigner."
Ning Changjiu curiously asked: "How do you know that I am from a foreign country?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "Your clothes are not like here, here is now under the control of Rongguo. Since the official there took over, dad said that the customs are very different from a few years ago."
Ning Changjiu said: "That's it."
Ning Xiaoling put the half of the egg into his mouth, took a bite, and stuffed it back into the soup, with a slightly vague voice saying: "You are a stranger, a stranger."
Ning Changjiu just smiled. After a while, he finished his last sip of the soup and said with a gentle expression: "Thank you for the hospitality, young lady."
Ning Xiaoling ate faster than him, the soup was a bit salty, but she drank it all.
Ning Changjiu stretched out his hand to get the spring roll, Ning Xiaoling pressed his finger with the other end of the chopsticks, and shook his head: "This is not for you. The two maids accompanying me are still hungry." /
Ning Changjiu looked to the side and sighed softly: "But they seem to be gone."
Ning Xiaoling was taken aback and looked to the side. The two maids really disappeared. She frowned and said angrily: "When I go back, I will let my father punish them severely!"
Ning Changjiu whispered: "Xiaoling..."
"Huh?" She was a little uncomfortable being called like this. She looked at him and waited for him to continue speaking, but Ning Changjiu just looked at her quietly, without following.
Ning Xiaoling felt something was wrong, she glanced at her clothes, and suddenly screamed.
The colorful phoenix-inspired brocade clothes disappeared, replaced by an old jacket. The makeup on her face seemed to have been melted away by the water vapor, becoming immature and simple. On the white and tender fingers, there was a faint There were also traces of cracks in the cold winter. She got up hurriedly, staggered back, and fell to the ground after encountering a long wooden chair.
Ning Changjiu got up and walked towards her.
Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened, she looked at him in horror, and sternly said: "What kind of illusion did you demon try, and quickly change me back... Don't come here, come here, I want Report to the official..."
While she was speaking, she looked around, and the diners around were also looking at him. They had different expressions, as if they were cold and pitiful.
"Who are you? I'll take you around here, and entertain you with delicious food. Why are you such a white-eyed wolf? I knew I should listen to Daddy's words..." Ning Xiaoling rubbed his eyes. Mist: "You quickly change me back!"
Ning Changjiu took out a few copper coins from his sleeves and put them on the corner of the table, then walked to the girl’s side, squatted down and looked at her, Ning Xiaoling slammed his fists indiscriminately and hit her clothes. .
"Stop making trouble." Ning Changjiu suddenly grabbed her wrist and said in a calm tone: "Little Junior Sister, I will take you home."
