The sedan chair was swaying, and there was a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the small space surrounded by it.

Ning Ruichen was leaning on the edge of the wall with a suede cushion, and lifted the curtain of the window from time to time to have a look: "Is it almost there? How far is it?"

No one spoke, and after a while, I heard a soft snort from the fellow:

"I was so dizzy that I followed you here."

That's what he said, but there was not much displeasure in his tone, even pampering.

"Brother Yu," Ning Ruichen blinked, "It's all here."

Seeing his well-dressed appearance, Yuan Junyu turned her head: "Liu Jiao invited you, not me."

Ning Ruichen put down the curtain, and arched his shoulders: "Please still invite me, isn't it the same?"

When he said this, he didn't mean anything, but Yuan Junyu couldn't help thinking too much. He wanted to ask clearly, how could it be the same?The words came to his lips, but he still didn't ask. After a while, Ning Ruichen leaned aside again, this time asking the person who carried the sedan chair outside: "Are you coming soon?"

The people outside were not panting: "Sit down, young master, and we'll be here."

Zhang Shenxiu didn't have many friends in Nanjing, so he didn't invite many people this time.Yuan Junyu took a quick glance in front of the door, she knew some of them, and most of them had never seen them before.

But Ning Ruichen went up to greet him familiarly: "Brother Shuzhou."

On the contrary... it looks good.

Zhang Shenxiu's new house is indeed beautiful. There is a carved stone plaque in front of the gate, with the word "Biezhou" written in official script on it. After entering the garden, the black corners of the eaves are stacked one on top of the other. , the further you go, the more beautiful the scenery is. Going to the yard, it is suddenly cool and deep green. A pond was dug in the back garden, surrounded by an exquisite bamboo building with the sound of gurgling water, and you can see the shadow of the mountain across the yard. There are mountains and rivers, which is a hidden pleasure.

Yuan Junyu and Zhang Shenxiu couldn't be called familiar, so after a casual salute, they went to the Flower Hall to take a seat.After having a meal in the afternoon, half of the guests dispersed, and the few remaining people stayed to play around at night.

During the period, a guest asked: "Brother Shuzhou, why haven't you seen Weiqing all day?"

Zhang Shenxiu drank some wine, her face was flushed, and said bluntly: "I invited him specially, but if he doesn't come, you all know now, this person is just spoiling my interest."

When Yuan Junyu heard Xie Yan's name, she turned her head to look at Ning Ruichen inadvertently. He looked like a normal person, and whispered to his ear: "Brother Yu, you don't see Liu Jiao everywhere?"

That little brat is full of ghost ideas, who knows where he went.Yuan Junyu sat steadfastly, not caring at all, holding a cup, and said slowly, "You remember what he does."

"I miss him..." Ning Ruichen muttered, just as he was about to say something, Zhang Shenxiu walked over to him.

"My son, Second Master Ning." Zhang Shenxiu smiled, and walked out of the crowd, her calm demeanor was still there, and she was not so submissive when facing Yuan Junyu.

"Brother Shuzhou," Ning Ruichen chatted with him enthusiastically, as if he had a little personal relationship with Zhang Shenxiu, "Your moving day is an auspicious day, why don't you see Liu Jiao?"

Zhang Shenxiu said: "He has something urgent, he will go to take care of it first, and he will come back later. You two move first, I invited the theater troupe in the back garden, and today's night performance will make the guests and hosts enjoy themselves."

Speaking of this, Ning Ruichen was a little interested, so he asked, "What play are you acting in?"

Zhang Shenxiu made a fool of himself: "You'll know when it's over."

Yuan Junyu remained silent for a long time, and followed them silently, but she wondered in her heart, when did they become so familiar?

He saw that the two people were chatting very happily, but he was actually a little unhappy, but for some unknown reason, he kept silent, counting the stone bricks under his feet, facing the evening wind in early autumn, slowly, and after a while he heard the sound in front of him again. laughter.

"Anyway, for me, any play is considered a new play," Ning Ruichen said like that, "The show will start later, please brother Shuzhou give me some pointers."

"I'm afraid it won't work," Zhang Shenxiu led them to the back garden and called two servants, "I have some trivial matters first, and the servants at home will take the two of you to sit in the back garden by the pond."

What is the purpose of socializing with Zhang Shenxiu?

With Ning Ruichen's family background, whenever he came out to socialize, someone would rush to show his hospitality... Zhang Shenxiu, Zhang Shenxiu... That's right, it was Liu Jiao.

That's right, Yuan Junyu thought, the brat Liu Jiao disobeyed him, and he didn't even have the guts to send invitations to his house.Liu Jiao knew that Ning Ruichen was talkative, so he would definitely accept it, and the invitation would be delivered right away.Ning Ruichen actually didn't have to come to this banquet, but he still entertained, and because of this, he made a special trip to make friends with a merchant.

...for my ridiculous stubbornness.

Yuan Junyu looked at the backs of Ning Ruichen and Zhang Shenxiu, a little lost in thought, unable to tell what it was like.What is he...

Just as he was thinking, Ning Ruichen suddenly turned around and called him: "Brother Yu, why are you standing there?"

Zhang Shenxiu didn't know when he left, there were only a few dim lights left on the winding path ahead, and two servants in brown clothes waited quietly at the side, listening to their movements.

He didn't move, probably because he was left out just now, and he said awkwardly, "I thought you planned to go there by yourself."

"What's the matter?" Ning Ruichen was dull again at this time, with doubts in his brows and eyes, he didn't understand the complaint in his words: "I will wait for you anytime."

"...Let's go, let's go to the theater." Yuan Junyu breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over slowly with his steady appearance, and said, "It's all your fault for walking too fast."

Ning Ruichen signaled the two servants to lead the way, turned his face, and then narrowed his eyes slightly: "What! Brother Yu is too slow."

"How come? I've always walked this way." Yuan Junyu couldn't stop smiling as he spoke. He tried his best to look serious, but he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.This is the one in front of him, and he can't be deceived no matter what.

As the two walked, they bickered shamelessly:

"I've counted, one finger snap, you took two steps—"

"You count again?"

"Stop messing around, it's getting dark..."

Arriving at the edge of the rockery near the water, several tables have already been set up. Before the opening, the harps and flute pipes are up and down, and the cymbals and drums are buzzing lively. A few guests are waiting there to be bored, passing flowers and chanting poems to the sound of the drums, Across a section of water, red and yellow lights could be seen shaking in the rockery pavilion a few feet away. Zhang Shenxiu's stage was not really a stage, it was originally set up in the garden's landscaping.

This kind of play is more flavorful than the ones on the stage, and Ning Ruichen has never seen it before. He stretched his neck and looked across the water quite freshly. People and shadows come and go.

As soon as the monk shaking the Buddha beads came out, Yuan Junyu frowned.

Down the mountain in Nie Hai Ji, how did this play work.

The monk and the nun became husband and wife, and Ning Ruichen might not be happy after seeing it.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a burst of laughter among the guests, one of them clapped his hands loudly and said with a high-five, "So we, Shu Zhou, have become monks and monks!"

At this moment, I saw the unstable monk Benwu in front, who is it not Zhang Shenxiu?

From this, Yuan Junyu understood, no wonder the person who didn't see Liu Jiao all day, this was clearly telling him that the little apprentice lived a good life in other people's house!
