He lived in the countryside for a few days, and Ning Ruichen returned to Jinling City after July.Everywhere is full of festive joy, he walked all the way, and only heard someone tell him when he got home that his elder brother arrived home before him, and he was unloading luggage outside the main hall.

After entering the main entrance, Ning Ruichen ran all the way in, dragging his eldest brother, and the first sentence was: "Brother, don't you see my little nephew?"

It was a new happy event, even if the journey was tiring, Ning Yuquan could not see the tiredness on his face: "No one cares about you these days, have you studied at home?"

"I read it," Ning Ruichen looked around, "Sister-in-law didn't come back?"

The eldest brother joked with him: "I am in a hurry to celebrate your birthday, so I will go back first."

"Don't try to lie to me, everyone in the yamen must be looking for you in a hurry, and they must come back to celebrate my birthday." Ning Ruichen laughed, and turned around to ask someone to bring over his ivory card, and said, "When will they come back?" Back? In the past few days, I have learned to wipe cards with others, and I have made great progress."

"When your sister-in-law comes back and loses all the money you saved to her, don't cry to me." The eldest brother found out that Ning Ruichen has become much more cheerful these days, perhaps because he has gradually started to socialize.When he saw the card, he smiled and asked people to put it away: "Your sister-in-law is not yet confinement, and she will be exposed to the wind every time she comes back, so she might as well spend her days in Yangzhou and come back later."

Ning Ruichen knew that his sister-in-law's natal family had prestige in Yangzhou, and her ancestors were a big family with five generations of officials, so she was not worried, and asked, "What does my nephew look like, does it look like you, or does it look like my sister-in-law?"

"I can't see it now," said the elder brother. "It was just born, wrinkled, and now it has grown some flesh, just like when you were a child."

Ning Ruichen was surprised: "I was just born, wrinkled?"

"It's not..."

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Ning Yuquan was about to rush to the Ministry of Industry to handle errands, "There is an issue at the Ministry of Industry tonight, and I don't think Dad will come back. You are at home, and you can do whatever you want." As he spoke, he remembered What, I took out a round shell-shaped golden lump from my pocket, and when I opened it, it was a transparent disc: "After all, I almost forgot about this."

Ning Ruichen had never seen this before, stared at the disc for a while, and wondered: "How can the needles inside move around by themselves?"

"It's a good imported product. What's the name of the clock? I sold it from Guangzhou to Yangzhou. I found it. I know you like it." Ning Yuquan hung him around his neck and hid it in his lapel, and taught him the pattern on it. How to correspond with the time, and then hurried out the door.

Ning Ruichen had nothing to do all day long. When he returned to Nanjing, he first went to the temple on Lion Mountain, and then found a few acquaintances to listen to the play. Today he was performing Water Margin, and Ning Ruichen was used to seeing beautiful Danjiao really has no interest in these men's dramas, and it's not easy to show it. He struggled to see the end, his eyes were almost stained, and he went home in a daze.

So he played every day, and after two days, he also received a birthday gift from Xizhou Garden, and an invitation card. Liu Jiao wrote a letter asking him to go to the garden to listen to an opera on Qixi Festival.Yuan Junyu would definitely want to go to the banquet made by Liu Jiao, and Ning Ruichen's shady signs were aroused again, wondering if he could take this opportunity to make a show in front of Yuan Junyu again thing.

...Besides, I haven't seen him for a few days since he was able to return to Nanjing. I missed him, so I sent a message back, saying that I would go to the appointment.

For the rest of the time, I prayed to Buddha and read scriptures at home. In a flash, it was the seventh day of July. I got up early in the morning and went to my father and brother to pay respects in a decent way. He walked out the door slowly.

Before going out, Bao'er called and coquettishly asked the young master to take him out to play. Ning Ruichen originally wanted to agree, but thinking of Liu Jiao and Zhang Shenxiu, Bao'er saw him and ordered him to go home. How much trouble did he cause, so he turned his heart down, gave him two taels of money, and let him go out to the market by himself.

After a while, when we arrived at the gate of Xizhou Garden, someone had already come first, singing a song in the garden, with a Nanjing accent and a very soft voice.Ning Ruichen bent over to meet Liu Jiao's smiling face, with a sky blue straight skirt and a flower on his temple, very pretty.

"Oh, here we come!" Liu Jiao took him by the hand and led him in neatly, like a half master.

Xizhou Garden has more scenery than the last time I came here. It should have been repaired with a lot of effort. The corridors and houses have a brand new look, and it is a bit higher than those gardens of the princes and nobles in Nanjing.Ning Ruichen admired secretly, and while walking, he met a group of musicians who came out holding the piano, and while making way, he asked Liu Jiao in a low voice: "What's the show today?"

Liu Jiao didn't care whether they were blocking the way or not, and went straight forward, rushing the group of musicians into a mess, raising thin eyebrows: "It's also a new play, I'm sure you haven't seen it before."

Ning Ruichen was a little funny. He saw that although Liu Jiao was taught by Yuan Junyu, his temperament was actually completely different. From the time he climbed over the wall and entered the Cardamom Pavilion, he could see that this kid was aggressive and thoughtless, and he was straightforward in everything he did. Very interesting.

Ning Ruichen pulled him to the side: "How old are you, it's okay to bump into people, don't hit the piano, drum, etc., just let your thin skin and tender flesh get bruised."

Liu Jiao didn't understand, thought what he said was true, didn't move, ordered those people to hurry over, and said: "My dear second master, how old are you this year? Eighteen or not?"

Ning Ruichen said solemnly: "After today, I will be nineteen."

Liu Jiao laughed heartily, and dragged him to watch the stage in the yard.Yuan Junyu didn't come, Ning Ruichen was surprised, but he was really embarrassed to ask. After lunch, he had a meal and played with the messenger for a while. Before the beginning of the game, the actors on the stage behind said Alright, the show is ready, waiting for the distinguished guests to move.

Ning Ruichen wanted to ask Liu Jiao to ask Yuan Junyu, but he had already gone to put on makeup with Zhang Shenxiu, and he couldn't find anyone for a while, so he had to chat with someone below the stage, and waited. The play starts.

Today's show is "Nan Ke Meng", and one of the people next to me said that this book was written by the same person as the Peony Pavilion, so I also felt interested and watched it quietly.

Ning Ruichen remembered this story after playing a small half-turn. He had also read this story in Tang Chuanqi.

It is about a man named Chunyu Fen, who dreamed of entering an ant's nest, became an official and became a prefect, and woke up to find that this prosperity and wealth was nothing but an illusory story.

This play has added a lot of exciting plots. What is the reason why the three daughters choose a son-in-law? After choosing a husband, Chunyu Fen, they ordered a purple-clothed official to lead the way for them. 20 years later, the princess died of illness, and the empress still sent an official in purple to send her back. Yu Shichun knew that the 20 years of splendor and mist were nothing but a dream.

All day long, the shengxiao was playing in the garden, and after singing, the spectators were getting better and better, saying yes repeatedly.

It was already dark, and the garden was hung with lights. Chunyu Xiaosheng, who was played by Zhang Shenxiu, was still looking up at the moon on the stage and sighing. It turned out that he was a visitor from the world. Whether you can go to the cave or not, and whether you can come or go to the small cave.”

Ning Ruichen was fascinated by what he heard, and wondered for a moment, could all the brilliance in the garden and the applauding guests be ants in his dreams?Thinking of this, he laughed again, thinking that an idiot can only see what he is infatuated with, he should be a sober person, and definitely would not regard ants as people.

As soon as the play was over, the silver moon was hanging high, and the cars and horses outside the boat garden gradually dispersed, so Ning Ruichen found Liu Jiao, grabbed him, and because it was dark, he had no scruples, and asked: "Is your master still alive?" Please come?"

Liu Jiao was taken aback for a moment, she was talking to Zhang Shenxiu with a smile just now, but she pouted in the blink of an eye: "You didn't come here because of my face, but because of my master's face!"

Ning Ruichen had nothing to say, he did not come here today with pure motives.

"I didn't invite you, and I don't know what I did wrong, and I didn't come even after changing your name." Liu Jiao shook his loose braids and gently arched him, "If you miss him, go find him yourself. .”
