The Imperial City of Nanjing is located on the right side of the upside-down "convex" character, on the east bank of Qingxi River. It will be crowded tonight. Zhang Ning knew that he would not be able to find his little sister and the others if he went there directly, so he planned to go home and ask first.
As soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw Zhang Xiaomei looking around. Zhang Ning was slightly surprised and shouted from a distance: "It's lively over there in the Imperial City, my little sister hasn't left yet?" Zhang Xiaomei hurried over, feeling happy and resentful at the same time:
"I thought that my brother was inseparable and would never come back. What's the point of having fun when you're not here?"
She only saw Zhang Ning in her eyes, and even turned a blind eye to the strange guests beside her. Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I promised you, how could I not come back."
"This is the most beautiful fireworks of the year. Let's go there quickly. My sisters-in-law and the others left long ago." After all, Zhang Xiaomei is at an innocent age. When she sees someone, she throws away the torment of waiting in the blink of an eye.
Outside the mind, a pair of bright eyes formed two beautiful bays of the moon, holding Zhang Ning's big hand.
Zhang Ning let go of her hand calmly. Seeing how happy she was, he was worried that she would fall into his arms. It would be a bit embarrassing for such a big girl to be so intimate in front of Fang Ling.
Just as he was about to give Fang Ling a name and introduce him a little, Zhang Xiaomei had already started talking to Fang Ling: "This sister is so beautiful! Which family's richest lady is she?"
"Zhang Xiaomei is the most beautiful." Fang Ling said with a smile. He took off a pair of gold bracelets from his wrists, took Zhang Xiaomei's hand affectionately, and put it on for her. "The first time we met, I didn't have anything good to give to Xiaomei."
Sister, please wear these bracelets, in fact, such a pure girl should be given jade."
"Is this gold?" Zhang Xiaomei held it in front of her eyes for a closer look, then glanced at Zhang Ning and took off the bracelet, "Sister, I can't accept such a valuable thing from you for no reason."
Fang Ling smiled and said, "She really listens to you."
A pair of bracelets only weighed about one tael, and all gold and nothing else was worth several taels of silver at this time. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a huge sum of money, but in the eyes of Fang Ling and even Zhang Ning, it was not too expensive.
Zhang Ning said: "This is your sister Fang's wish, little sister, please wear it."
"Thank you, Sister Fang." After hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei couldn't put it down and took it in her hand. She probably didn't know that the piece of thin cloth Zhang Ning gave her when he came back was worth two or three times as much as the pair of bracelets.
As soon as the three of them met, they didn't stay much and went straight east. It was very worry-free to be with Zhang Xiaomei. She only knew how to call her "Sister Fang" and didn't ask any questions. She didn't talk nonsense and even made up words to confuse her.
Save it all. Zhang Ning quietly explained to his little sister on the way, but she said, "I'm too lazy to ask, so I can save my brother from lying." I bet she is a sensible person.
Both sides of the Yuhe River, especially near Chang'an Street, are really crowded. Colorful lanterns are hung on the trees, like "thousands of trees blooming at night."
The sounds of silk, bamboo and orchestral music in the streets complement each other, creating a scene of people enjoying themselves together.
The most dazzling fireworks are undoubtedly the ones blooming in the sky. They explode in the night sky with a "bang" sound, and a big flower turns into thousands of others in an instant. Fireworks are dazzling, but the most beautiful thing is not the fireworks in the sky, it is the sparkle.
The fireworks in the young girl's bright and beautiful eyes, the huge flowers turned into a sparkle in her eyes, became smaller, but like drizzle, made Zhang Ning's heart indescribably warm and happy.
It turns out that when you see someone happy, you become even happier. This feeling is true, and you can't find any reason.
"Brother." She turned her head and looked up at Zhang Ning, "What welcomes the spring is not jasmine flowers, but fireworks!"
Zhang Ning acted gentle and patient. He didn't know it, but Fang Ling saw that he was extremely gentle. He had never seen anyone with such a good temper like him, nor had he ever seen him be so gentle. He
He said slowly: "Jasmine flowers and fireworks are not the same kind of flowers."
"They all bloom and are so beautiful, so why do you think they are not the same flower?" Zhang Xiaomei said in a coquettish tone, and naturally took Zhang Ning's arm, not shying away from leaning against his arm with her soft breasts.
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "Okay, my little sister said they are all flowers, so that's it."
Zhang Xiaomei raised her mouth again: "But my brother seems to be right, they are not the same. Fireworks are so big, they flash in the sky and disappear. It would be better if they were not so fleeting."
"The blooming of the night sky is gorgeous, but its fleetingness is regrettable. It is gorgeous and regretful, so it is sad and beautiful." Zhang Ning looked up at the sky and said slowly.
This sentence was said to the little sister, but it made Fang Ling, who was walking side by side, feel sour. He then continued to talk patiently to the little sister Zhang: "The winter jasmine is a living thing, but the fireworks are actually dead things."
, its beauty is just an illusion.”
"An illusion?" The little girl looked up at Zhang Ning, then looked up at the sky, as if she was thinking about something.
Zhang Ning took the trouble to tell her: "The fireworks tube is filled with gunpowder. Once the gunpowder burns, the air in the fireworks tube will suddenly expand and increase, and then it will explode with a 'bang' and the fireworks will fly into the air."
The little girl looked at his face with curiosity and dreaminess. When he saw this, he said again: "Think about it, if the lid of the kettle is pressed shut, and then a stopper is put into the mouth of the kettle, the bottom
What will happen if there is a fire?"
"Yeah, I understand!" The little girl smiled happily.
Although the brother and sister talked about trivial things that could be classified as nonsense, Fang Ling had an indescribable feeling. His tone, his patience in order to let the girl understand, even if it was an insignificant thing.
Things are also done with great care, and the level of care is sincerely revealed in every word and deed.
Fang Ling is not a jealous person. Besides, she has no right to be jealous. Once she has done that superficial job, she cannot change her identity. There are some things that she can only see but never get. She can never be justified.
Fighting for those things, there is no need to be jealous. But now she can't help but feel jealous of a teenage girl... It makes no sense, one is family affection, the other is the affection between a man and a woman, a relationship that cannot be matched by eight poles, but why
I just got jealous.
She finally couldn't help but said sourly: "I have to take a good reincarnation in my next life. I regret that I can't be your sister."
"Good brother." Zhang Xiaomei whispered. After hearing those words, she relied on him happily and didn't care about Fang Ling's harsh words.
Fang Ling was full of jealousy. He changed his polite and polite demeanor and blurted out: "Brother can't stay with you forever. It will only take you a year or two to get married at your age. Your brother should have started a family long ago. By then, we will all be together."
Take care of everyone's family..."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei looked aggrieved and looked at Fang Ling pitifully. After a while, both girls seemed unhappy.
Zhang Ning opened his mouth in vain, he was stunned and didn't know what to say. It was indeed a drama between two women.
At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Zhang Pingan! That's right, ha, when did Pingan return to Nanjing?"
When I looked back, I saw three people dressed as scholars looking at me with a smile. Two were tall and one was short. The scene in front of me was indescribably funny: the two tall ones were on both sides, and the short one stood in the middle with his head lowered by a full head.
At first glance, the situation of the three of them looked like a family of three to Zhang Ning. The one in the middle was the child, and the other two scholars were probably a gay pair. The dwarf in the middle had the deepest impression in Zhang Ning's memory. He was none other than that person.
Yang Sihai and Zhang Ning once humiliated him for being short. Of course, the person who did this was the former Zhang Ning. Now that he suddenly saw him, he immediately understood why the former Zhang Ning made trouble for Yang Sihai's height. It was too much.
Obvious flaws.
Although this Yang Sihai is short, he has a steady look on his face, which makes the other two people's smiles very frivolous. These three people were all classmates of Yingtian Gongyuan last year, at least outstanding junior students among the students. Maybe some of them or
All of them have won the honorary title. They have a high chance of entering the officialdom in the future. At that time, they will have a relationship where they can take care of each other, such as fellow villagers, classmates, and the same year... And Zhang Ning understands that this relationship is like a modern university.
Classmates and the like, after entering the society, it may be that kind of people who will be more sincere and helpful in helping you. If you want to toss in the Internet, you have to pave the way.
Zhang Ning hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Sihai, Brother Luo, Brother Liang... I originally planned to visit you in the first month of the year, but I didn't expect to meet you here by chance today."
The three of them also stood still, bowing gracefully. Mr. Luo, who was wearing green satin on the left, bent down, stood up straight, and said with a smile: "It seems that we bumped into each other at the wrong time. Didn't we disturb Brother Ping'an's love?"
The two elders wearing cotton-padded jackets on the right echoed: "Brother Ping'an is traveling with his family, which makes people very envious."
Brocade Luo Biao smiled and said: "Like flowers and beautiful family, the years pass like a fleeting time!"
However, Yang Sihai advised with a serious face: "Brothers, please stop making fun of Brother Ping'an. The hair of the lady next to Brother Ping'an is obviously that of a girl who has not yet left the court. Maybe she is the sister of Brother Ping'an's family."
Zhang Ning nodded slightly, and his "first impression" was that Yang Sihai was young but very experienced. He could be so calm when facing someone who had humiliated him. This calmness alone was not something he would take lightly.
generation.
"Brother Sihai is indeed right, she is my little sister." Zhang Ning smiled and touched Fang Ling's waist lightly, "You guys are right about the beautiful couple like flowers."
Fang Ling lowered his eyes and made a polite and reserved look. He bowed slightly and saluted: "I have met the three young masters." Upon seeing this, the younger sister came forward a little reluctantly to salute. Zhang Ning casually responded and did not say anything about Fang Ling.
Of course, Yang Sihai and the others would not ask for his name. How could he have the etiquette to ask his friends' family members? Unless they take the initiative to introduce him.
Fang Ling has a low-key and cultivated look. In addition to the ordinary little jacket she is wearing tonight and the lack of jewelry, there is no trace of a prostitute at all. Even if it is said that she is a prostitute at this time, I am afraid that she is a prostitute.
It’s hard to believe. Zhang Ning looked at her and thought to himself that the high-end prostitutes of the Ming Dynasty were really not average talents.
"The three of you are so interested, how did you get an appointment together?" Zhang Ning said with a smile.
Luo Laobiao said: "Brother Sihai won the honorary title this autumn and is about to go to Beijing to compete for the Spring Festival. I originally wanted to have a get-together with him during the Lantern Festival, but Brother Sihai has to leave in a hurry and can't wait for the Lantern Festival, so we have to do it tonight as it is the festival."
Already."
Zhang Ning looked happy and said happily: "First of all, congratulations to Brother Sihai for winning the championship. There is something I didn't know about a while ago! I also wish Brother Sihai to stand out in the coming spring and see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
Yang Sihai clasped his fists and said, "Please lend me Brother Ping'an's good words."
"In this case, let's make an appointment. I'll send my family back home first, and I'll find you later," Zhang Ning said.
Luo Laobiao smiled and said, "Brother Ping'an, are you really willing to give up on this beautiful scenery?"
Zhang Ning looked disapproving: "Brother Sihai will go to Beijing soon, and his family members will not leave at home, how can they be compared?"
Old Biao Luo was dressed the best and was probably the richest among the few scholars. He said: "What Brother Ping'an said is absolutely true. We also saw the fireworks in the Imperial City, so we made an appointment to go to the Qinhuai River's painted boat.
Let’s meet at the teahouse south of Dingqiao first.”
Zhang Ning then bid farewell to the three of them temporarily and sent the two girls back. Zhang Xiaomei said quietly: "They are all scholars. How come these people are not the same as my brother? They are so annoying!"
Just now, Fang Ling had some disagreements with his younger sister, but in the blink of an eye, they were on the same side again. Fang Ling also said: "They are all common people, full of greed for officialdom."
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "If I am good, why should I pay their bills?"
Fang Ling said angrily: "You are also a fool."
Zhang Ning said softly: "Only when I met you did I realize that my official position is too small, my power is too small, and my money is too little. If I don't do my own thing well, I can't do anything. Do you understand..."
Fang Ling's face suddenly bloomed with spring. She bit her lip lightly and said lovingly: "I understand."
She had been sighing with resentment not long ago, but Zhang Ning's words made her happy again, and her mood when she was with him really became like the weather in May.
