In fact, since Ning Yi came in from outside, Lou Shuwan had already seen him

Although the slogan is just a slogan, no one will extend it to the equality of men and women, but his sister Fang Baihua herself is one of the most important generals in the righteous army, and there are many female soldiers and generals under it. It is also for this reason that at the beginning of the Yongle Dynasty, it is not a strange thing to appoint some female officials with capable backgrounds.

Of course, at this time, more than half of the women who were able to serve in the Fang La system actually had this position at the beginning, some were helping their husbands take care of some things in the cottage, some followed Fang Baihua all the way, and some women were accepted by Manichaeism. Nowadays, the status of women is not high after all, although they are in charge, their official positions are relatively vague, either under the command of Fang Baihua, or they are female officials in the palace.

When women came to the feast, it was naturally impossible to arrange for them to sit together with the men, and they were arranged in a separate hall on the side. At this time, it was still early, and the queen mother, who was said to come out to receive everyone, had not yet come out, Lou Shuwan was chatting with a woman she knew earlier, and she accidentally saw the figure walking by outside the window.

At first, I thought it was a mistake.

In the past two months, from the earthquake to the famine, when the rebels entered the city, the Lou family was also affected by a small impact, from the initial panic to adjust the mood to face the reality, for what happened to the people around them, not many people were in the mood to pay attention to it during that time. When everything was basically settled, I looked back and found that many of the people I knew before had left or disappeared, or occasionally met on the street, only to find that the other party had not been able to leave.

Ning Yi and Su Tan'er are actually not the people around Lou Shuwan, the relationship between the two sides was originally a little ambiguous, when Lou Shuwan was in Hangzhou, Lou Shuwan was able to talk to Su Tan'er, not so much because of friendship, but because both sides had a husband-in-law. At that time, it was not cold, but it was really heart-to-heart, and both sides did not believe it. Later, there was the dispute on the West Lake, everything became mixed, if things continued, it is difficult to say what it would become, but then the executioner ● hidden disaster diluted everything, she was first frightened, and then managed things for the family, and now she has the identity of a female official, and the surrounding environment has changed, and occasionally it feels like a world away.

All kinds of people and things two months ago have become distant, if you think of Ning Yi and Su Tan'er, they probably left Hangzhou. This matter has not been explored, and naturally there is no need to explore it. At this time, the figure she saw was naturally wrong, she continued to chat in the room, but in the end, she still came out to breathe, and after walking around, she saw the man who was talking to Long Boyuan.

In an emotion that even she didn't quite know herself, she smiled and said hello.

"You haven't made it yet, what about Sister Tan'er?" As she got closer, she stroked her sideburns and asked quite naturally.

Ning Yi looked at her for a few seconds, then laughed: "Tan'er went back, I didn't make it...... Miss Lou looks good and meets again. ”

"Uh...... Meet again. ”

“…··· Things have been a mess for the past few months...... I've been to Taiping Lane before, and I wanted to inquire about you and Tan'er's sister, but ...... Over there, huh······"

After the rain, the night breeze is pleasant, and the red lanterns stretch one after another, and the courtyards are noisy and noisy, and occasionally you can hear rough and presumptuous talk, rough and rough greetings, and the maids who are responsible for entertaining them walk in a hurry. Lou Shuwan and Ning Yi walked under the eaves, time and environment can easily change and create many things at times, at least in the current atmosphere, the two do have a reason to talk. Lou Shuwan naturally talked about the fact that she had been to Taiping Lane before, and of course Ning Yi would not show rejection. …,

"Over there in Taiping Lane...... How about now? {Uncle Yun.}

"It seems that something went wrong, and it was blown up, and I am not very brave......"

"Tsk, failed investment."

"What?"

"It's nothing, Lou family...... Are you okay? ”

Lou Shuwan went to Taiping Lane, but she stopped by that day, and she looked at the house before Ning Yi and Su Tan'er, which had turned into a wreckage at this time. Lou Shuwan didn't ask more about the people around her, she was not interested or necessary, and she was probably sure that they had left. As for Ning Yi, he originally chose Taiping Lane as a place to live because he felt that if the Wu Dynasty would move the capital, there would be a lot of room for appreciation in the Taiping Lane area after coming to the south.

"My father is fine······ When the city of Hangzhou was broken, there was chaos, and what they said... … Fang Qifo, Buddha Shuai let Wang Yin come to the house, threatened his father to stay, and used the foundation of the Lou family to share some things for the Yongle Dynasty. At that time, it was difficult to leave, and my father had to agree to come down, but now it has not been affected too much, everything is fine, but he is busy. ”

When she said this, she glanced at Ning Yi slightly. One of the reasons why Lou Jinlin decided to stay—if not the main reason—was the antagonism between the Lou family and Qian Xiwen at the Liqiu poetry meeting, and the reason why Fang Qifo came to Lou's house was also one of the reasons.

And the confrontation between Qian Xiwen and the Lou family, at that time, Ning Yi seemed to be the main participant.

After making sure that Ning Yi didn't have any abnormal emotions, she said: "Regarding those things about the second brother on the day of the Liqiu Poetry Meeting, I have been looking for an opportunity to apologize to you, and the second brother is not a bad person······ But then so many things happened, it was delayed, and now ......"

Ning Yi laughed: "In this situation, what else is there to say about the little things at the beginning." ”

"Yes." Lou Shuwan smiled and nodded, and then asked Ning Yi about what happened after the city was broken, where he is now, and probably knew that Ning Yi had not been able to escape, and after being arrested, he was now doing some copying and writing work in the Badao Camp.

This kind of thing is not surprising, she knows that Ning Yi is talented and learned, and it is not difficult to have something to do. However, at this time, the power class in Hangzhou was also divided into three classes, and at the beginning, with the rebellion of Fang La, the officials who had qualifications and knew many people were naturally the first class, and the officials who were like the Lou family were only second-class when the city was broken, but after the city was broken, they were arrested and agreed to serve even if they were talented, and their status was usually not high.

After saying what should be said, she also asked a few words about Ning Yi staying and Su Tan'er leaving, but Ning Yi only said that it was difficult to say, so she didn't ask again. To say that Su Tan'er left him and ran away alone, Lou Shuwan felt that it was unlikely, but these days, she had also seen too many distorted things happening in front of her eyes, and nothing was impossible in the midst of war. But in any case, it's always hard to ask again at this time.

After saying goodbye to each other, Lou Shuwan returned to the hall on the side. After opening the window here, it was actually still connected to the main venue, she talked a few words with a woman she knew, looked out of the window, and soon after, she also saw Ning Yi sitting in the corner on the other side, the scholar chatted and laughed with the people around him, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious, neither looking tall and withdrawn, nor deliberately publicizing, and hiding his face just like that dissolved into a red and festive lamplight. old

Looking around, all kinds of men and women are incompatible with the previous life in her heart. Women do not have the elegance of everyone's ladies and the freshness of the small jasper, the women around her have a straightforward personality and a tall figure, but they are just a village girl when they speak. …,

The men in sight are also full of a bloody and unscrupulous atmosphere, they lick the blood from the knife edge, rebel, kill people, some of the burly look like coolies moving things on the dock, but these people are more flamboyant, some seem to be the brave and ruthless people and gang bosses they have seen before, but they do have a more calm and ferocious, the gang bosses just collect protection money and lots, but they are really people who take killing as a profession.

In the past, she would have occasionally admired and longed for this kind of person, but life is life, and that kind of spice is different from life. When she saw her brother Lou Shuwang not far away accompanying Zuo Xiang's son Lou Jingzhi through the crowd, she suddenly realized that a dull feeling that she had not thought about carefully for more than a month was realized by her due to Ning Yi's sudden appearance, and at this time, it was diluted.

It's like waking up, she didn't think about her previous life anymore, because it was useless to know Lu Dao if she thought about it, but now even if Zhi Lu Dao was useless, she still thought about it.

She wasn't the kind of little woman who would be upset about this kind of thing anymore, thinking in her heart at this time.

The relationship with Ning Yi and his wife is not very good, when they met on the way south, they came to Hangzhou together, some things seemed to be warm at the beginning, but she did not have a heart-to-heart with the other party, and the other party probably would not regard her as a close friend. The relationship between women is sometimes very simple and sometimes complicated, but one thing that cannot be denied is that the reason why everyone came together at first was because they had a similar experience, but later, she was more curious and looked at Ning Yi than Su Tan'er.

Originally, they were supposed to communicate with each other to have a useless husband's experience, but in the end, they subconsciously thought that the other party was happier than themselves. Her curiosity about Ning Yi did not last long, and it came to an abrupt end after the amazement on the day of the Liqiu Poetry Meeting. She would not be shocked by Ning Yi and regard the other party as a flawless existence, but no matter how the other party talks or behaves, the Uncle Yi she gives her may be as natural as him in that banquet, which makes her can't help but think, if there is such a good meeting, there is such a rich husband, she may be able to feel satisfied, and she can live a natural life like ordinary Shao Qi, it shouldn't be said that it is the best, maybe it is...... The most appropriate.

She glanced out the window and sat down in her chair. Once you have thought about this, the rest is very simple.

Su Tan'er left—no matter how he left—and he couldn't escape, and his life had been ruined. In any case, the war has changed so many people and things, and now the world is chaotic, and she really wants to have such a man.

She wanted him to be her man.

Lou Shuwan figured this out in her heart, then took a sip of tea and continued to chat with the woman next to her.

At the same time, Lou Shuwang was in the venue over there and saw Ning Yi. Clear
