【Chapter 32】It's hard to decide to call your brother
Only then did she realize that Ning Nanyou didn't mean that, she immediately blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Jiang Chengjia followed him silly.
Ning Nanyou deliberately slowed down and waited for her.
When the two returned to the front hall, Dou Taijun had already changed his clothes and sat on the cushion of the seat in the hall. Qianshan, Xiao Cui and others had already cut off the food table from the East Kitchen and arranged a dumpling banquet in the hall.
When they arrived at the hall, everyone was about to start a meal and have a midnight snack.
Just as the younger generation worshiped the elders, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanyou went to the center of the front hall, and respectfully bowed in front of Dou Taijun: "Zhaoyuan, Mengluo greets Taijun New Year. In the new year, Taijun is as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain!"
Because they lived in this Red Maple Village, they naturally did not have as many rules as the nobles of the palace. They worshiped a few times according to folk customs, which was considered to be a New Year's greeting.
Dou Taijun smiled and said, "Okay, okay! You and your wife are coming to me."
Ning Nanyou carefully helped Jiang Chengjia up beside him, and then they went to Dou Taijun together.
Dou Taijun, who was standing upright on the seat, took out two pieces from his arms and threaded them with red ropes, and tied them up.
Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanyou hurriedly bent down, knelt in front of the old lady's table, lowered their heads, and waited for Dou Taijun to put the pendant of the desperation for them.
Dou Taijun stood up slightly, put a pendant on them one by one, and told them with a smile: "There are dragons and phoenixes on the back of this coin, which means that the dragons and phoenixes are auspicious, and the male and females are combined. The front is filled with the four words "remove disasters and eliminate evil". I hope you and your husband will walk hand in hand in hand in the future, support each other and be safe and smooth."
The two of them sincerely took Dou Taijun's instructions, and two money for Yansheng hung on their necks. They looked up at each other, looked at each other and smiled and said, "Great-grandson, great-grandson-in-law, thanked Grandmother for praying, and decided to follow Grandmother's teachings, act steadily, and work hand in hand."
After this essential worship ceremony, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanyou began to wait for the midnight snack for the outer courtyard and continued to stay up to the New Year, each of them gave a pre-prepared money for the suffocation of evil as an object to ward off evil spirits.
After a lot of effort, the dumpling banquet in the front hall had just begun.
Because Jiang Chengjia was pregnant, she could not stay until dawn. So after the ugly moment, all the servants and maids in the yard dispersed. Dou Taijun could not last long for a long time. When Jiang Chengjia returned to her house to rest, she also returned from the corridor to her own room.
The front hall, which was still lively just now, became quiet in an instant.
Jiang Chengjia was really sleepy. When he entered the house, he was extremely sleepy when he got stuck in the bed and fell asleep in a dizzy way.
After Ning Nanyou coaxed her to sleep, he gently got off the couch and walked out of the house carefully.
He closed the door tightly, stood in the corridor, his eyebrows were locked, and he stayed in the corridor for a while, as if he was hesitating to think about something.
After a while, he turned around and headed towards the Tingxuan Tower where Dou Yueshan lived.
It was late at night and he believed that Dou Taijun would not come out again after entering the house. He probably wouldn't expect that he would go to Tingxuan Tower to look for the drunk Dou Yueshan.
But Ning Nanyou still carefully walked from behind and walked quickly to Tingxuanzhao's door.
The attic courtyard here has been pitch black and can no longer see anything.
Seeing that there were no sharp-eyed old ladies beside Dou Taijun nearby, they then climbed into the courtyard of Tingxuan Building through the back window, and slowly groped towards the room where Dou Yueshan lived from the junction of Zhaomen and Yuemen.
Tingxuan Building is pitch black everywhere, and only Dou Yueshan's room is still lit with a faint layer of candlelight.
Ning Nanyou felt strange. He thought Dou Yueshan had already fallen asleep and planned to enter the house, so he woke him up directly, but he didn't expect that he hadn't fall asleep yet?
He pushed open the door and quietly came to Dou Yueshan.
I saw a layer of gauze on the bed. There was a man who was sleeping soundly. This man had a very dignified and rigorous sleeping style, which was completely different from his personality.
Dou Yueshan laughs on weekdays and has no shape, but she is surprisingly well-behaved when she falls asleep.
Ning Nanyou looked at the candlelight lit in front of his window, as if it had been lit new, as if he was waiting for someone to come.
He lifted the gauze tent, patted Dou Yueshan on the shoulder without any scruples, and called out, "Zi said? Wake up..."
The person on the bed breathed heavily. After muttering, he turned over and rolled into the corner. The strong smell of wine was pouring on his nose.
Ning Nanyou couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
He was a little impatient and grabbed Dou Yueshan's collar and dragged it from the other side of the bed to the edge of the bed. Then he slapped his cheek with his hands three times without hesitation, calling out: "Zi said? Dou Zi said?!"
Dou Yueshan was awakened by his movements, and immediately opened her eyes. Seeing the faint light in front of her, she was a little stunned. She rubbed her eyes in discomfort, then looked in front of her eyes, and then she saw Ning Nanyouzheng sitting on the head of his bed with a serious face.
Dou Yueshan was startled and immediately sat up from the couch and said in horror: "You have not been holding your little wife to sleep in the middle of the night, so why did you come to me?"
Ning Nanyou looked at him seriously and said, "I came here to ask you... Why are you so greedy today? On New Year's Eve, you neither wished Mr. Dou New Year's Eve nor stayed with us... But what happened that upset you?"
Seeing that he was here to ask these questions, Dou Yueshan's face suddenly became a little dimmed. Although, under the dim candlelight, Ning Nanyou could not see the change in his face, he could clearly feel his emotional change.
So he paused in his heart and said to Dou Yueshan with a little careful tone: "But because of the uncle's letter?"
For some reason, Dou Yueshan stared at Ning Nanyou with her eyes tightly, not letting go for a moment, as if she wanted to see through him. There was a slight wave in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ning Nanyou was so focused that he felt a little nervous when he was staring at him, and he spat: "What are you doing to look at me like this? Is there something on my face that makes you stare at me so affectionately?"
When Dou Yueshan saw him teasing herself, she retorted: "Ning Zhaoyuan, you are too shameless! You have to tease others with a wife? What does it mean to be affectionate? Do you really think I have the best time to Long Yang?"
Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows and said with a cold face: "Otherwise, why are you looking at me like this in a blind eye?"
Dou Yueshan sighed, "I just sighed... If I hadn't happened to know you when I was a child... Maybe I would have been a confidant like you in this life."
Hearing his slightly sad tone, Ning Nanyou wondered: "What's wrong with you? Suddenly he was so sentimental?"
Dou Yueshan seemed to have something hidden in her heart, and she opened her mouth to speak, but finally stopped and said nothing.
Finally, he was silent for a long time, afraid that he could not hide it from Ning Nanyou, so he made up a reason: "My father will come here to pick me up and my grandmother and return to Zuo Fengyi of Chang'an after the New Year. This farewell, you and I don't know when will we meet each other. It is because of this that I am unhappy that I am drunk."
When Ning Nanyou heard this, he knew that he must have something else to hold it in his heart, but he had never said it without telling it, or maybe he couldn't say it, so he made up a random reason.
In just under half a moment, Dou Yueshan began to slam people.
He pushed Ning Nanyou and said, "You go back to the house quickly! Otherwise, when my sister-in-law wakes up and sees you are not here, she will definitely look for you everywhere again!"
Ning Nanyou saw that he was a little strange no matter what he did this night, so he couldn't help but feel a little whispered in his heart.
"I don't see you hiding so hard on weekdays. How could you not want to talk to me today?" Ning Nanyou ignored his push and asked, "If you think the Dou family is too depressed, you can come and congratulate you in the future. I'm afraid I'll live here for a few years. It just so happens that you don't work in the court, so I'll be waiting for your arrival here at any time."
Dou Yueshan nodded, lowered her eyes, and showed a hint of sadness before she knew it, but this was only a short moment. Soon, he raised his smile again and said, "I know! Don't be so verbose! I'm just drunk today, and now I've been sleeping a lot better. Zhaoyuan! Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Seeing that he was really unwilling to tell the real reason why he was drunk and greedy for drinking today, Ning Nanyou stopped asking questions and just nodded to him and said, "Well, you have a good rest. I have never paid New Year's greetings tonight. Tomorrow morning, you still need to go to the old lady's yard to pay a visit and go to bed early."
Dou Yueshan had never seen Ning Nanyou, who was so nagging, and couldn't help laughing: "You are now...because of your sister-in-law, you are becoming more and more gentle. In the past, I used to be like this, you usually only say two words "I deserve it" and have never been as warm as you are today."
Ning Nanyou knocked on Dou Yueshan's forehead with a chestnut and said fiercely: "You can also say warmth and affection?"
Dou Yueshan felt a faint and strong pain coming from her forehead, so she covered her forehead and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
Ning Nanyou was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so he stood up and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Dou Yueshan saw his back in the dim candlelight, and her heart was inexplicably excited because she knew the truth. She called out by a devil: "Brother!"
Ning Nanyou's eyebrows locked, his eyes paused, he turned his head and looked at Dou Yueshan, and said in a daze: "What are you doing?"
Dou Yueshan was stunned for a moment before she realized what she had called. Her heart instantly raised to her throat and said dryly: "Brother, have a good rest."
Ning Nanyou felt that he was inexplicable, but he couldn't say that it was strange. He frowned deeply and three gullies piled up.
Dou Yueshan had never called his brother, because they were born on the same day of the same year, month and day, and they always only called each other's small characters. Although, based on the time, he was indeed bigger than Dou Yueshan. Even so, Dou Yueshan only called him Zhaoyuan.
