Chapter 345 (II)

On April 15, the tenth year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, in the grassland on the outskirts of Jiangning, a cage containing a kitten was tied under a big kite and flew away. Xiao Junwu looked at the kite and set his ambition.

It is really a gratifying thing for a young man to be determined and ambitious, and if a person with foresight is here, he may also say that this son will become a great man in the future. However, for Ning Yi, if he succeeds, it is gratifying, even if he doesn't succeed, at least he has found something he can do, and the possibility of failure is actually higher. Just as the "Datong" that the watermelon wants, the "Gewu" that Junwu wants is also the same, he put down the seeds, but when it is not necessary, he does not want to be too persistent.

Jun Wu had just developed at this time, and he was still short, and he was excitedly talking to Ning Yi about Gewu. Zhou Pei, who came with him, always liked to preach to his younger brother in the past, but today he is quite quiet, perhaps because he saw clearly that Jun Wu wanted to realize his ambitions, he first had to be a good little prince, the girl had a dignified temperament at this time, and she already had a slim feeling.

She didn't talk much, it was said that King Kang's Mansion had already begun to look for a candidate for the county horse for her, and several young talents from Jiangning were competing for it. I even heard that a few aristocratic talents put up a scene in a certain building, for the news of this little county lord's comparison of literature and martial arts, it was spread as a good story in Jiangning Mansion in a few days, but Ning Yi was worried about things at home, and he could only hear half a scale, not very clear, but it was quite exciting to think about.

The cat cage that was brought to the sky by the kite broke the line soon after, and the kitten fell down and should have fallen to its death, and on the grass on the outskirts of the city, several family members of King Kang's Mansion followed Jun Wu who was snoring and drinking to look for it. Only then did the girl give Ning Yi a blessing: "Teacher, the family has been forcing Zhaojun Ma, and the teacher thinks ...... How's it going? ”

"What can I say about my parents' orders? You're so smart, you must have had an idea in your heart, right? ”

Zhou Pei lowered his head: "I thought the teacher would have something different...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hide this time. ”

Ning Yi looked at her with some sympathy: "I also got married like this, and it was not bad later." These things, everyone comes like this, not to mention that it is difficult to hide, and it is more troublesome to dodge. Your current age, who is the county horse, you can choose, if you are older, someone will pick you, maybe someone will poke you in the back. I heard that those young sons who are quite county horses, although they can't be said to be the top of their families, but their level is not bad, you and they are estimated to know each other, you can choose at your disposal, what else do you want? ”

"I—I'm still unwilling in my heart." Zhou Pei said softly, "When I was a child, I thought that even women could do many things, but later I found out that it couldn't be done, and I also hope that my younger brother can become a talent, at least be a useful prince in the future." Although he can't help the people in the world now, at least he will be useful in the future by studying what kind of things, but ...... But at the end of the day, I am still unwilling in my heart, why can a man do what I can't do. I know those who choose the horses...... It's all half a bucket of water, one by one...... There's nothing real about it. ”

In fact, whether it is a horse or a county horse, once you enter the royal family, you will have no chance to have a career in your life, and young people with real ideals and ambitions will not choose this path at this time. If those princesses who have never been seen in the palace choose a concubine, some people will even avoid it, but Zhou Pei's choice of relatives this time, many young talents in Jiangning City are still eager to do so, because she often has the opportunity to show up in the past. The little county lord has been beautiful since she was a child, and at the age of fifteen at this time, she has become more dignified and beautiful, and in addition to beauty, she was educated by Kang Xian, and she is also quite accomplished in the subset of scriptures and history, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and she is a famous talented woman among the young generation of Jiangning.

In the past, Ning Yi took classes and said thought-provoking views, which was taking advantage of modern people, but if you look at it from an orthodox point of view, I am afraid that Ning Yi's attainments in this area are far inferior to this little county lord. It is also for this reason that although Ning Yi is not very involved in the field of these talented and beautiful women, he also knows that after the news of recruiting relatives from the little county lord of the Dao Dao, there are many young literati who are willing to gamble on their future and win Zhou Pei's favor. As long as he is not the eldest son who needs to inherit the family business, he can be a rich idler in the future, and be in harmony with this talented female county lord Qin Se, he can be regarded as an envy of mandarin ducks and not immortals.

It's just that they only know the talents of the little county lord of the Dao, but they may not understand her character. At this time, she whispered, and none of those suitors could get into her eyes. Ning Yi shook his head, feeling that this little girl was too ambitious: "Who is not half a bucket of water at the beginning, about the same age as you, a teenager, as long as he has a good heart, he will always become a big bucket of water when he takes his time." You have learned a lot from Kang Yuma, and it is too unfair to use his standards to measure people, when Kang Xian was young, it is estimated that he is not as good as these children. ”

For this kind of thing, Ning Yi couldn't persuade too much at this time, if he had a daughter, he would naturally not pick a husband for her at the age of fifteen. But the little county lord can't change this matter at all, she has such a high vision, maybe she can find a good one now, wouldn't it be even more tragic to drag it out until she is twenty years old? Seeing her pouting with her head down, she knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she didn't say more.

On this day, I said goodbye to Zhou Pei's sister and brother, went to visit Kang Xian again, and when I returned home and entered the courtyard, I heard Tan'er talking to someone in the room.

“…… At this time, there are so many things at home, what are you going to do! ”

"It's at times like these that we think we're more useful. Second sister, this is our Su family's business, we are all hiding behind, what's going on......"

"What is the matter of the Su family, if this family surname is Ning in the future, you will rebel?"

"I ...... We didn't say this, the second brother-in-law, we are convinced, but after all, it is revenge...... We also want to make ourselves more useful, and we can at least learn what we don't understand......"

"Your second brother-in-law used to be desperate, and he would die at every turn. Do you want to learn? Okay, I'll give each of you a knife, and if you dare to say that if you are in danger, you dare to commit suicide at any time without dragging down your second brother-in-law, and I will let you go! ”

At this time, the people who were talking to Su Tan'er inside were several young people of the Su family led by Wending Wenfang, and after the separation, they were on the side of the big house, and this time they knew the meaning of Ning Yi's trip to Beijing, so they asked to follow along. Although Su Tan'er was gentle and lovely in front of Ning Yi, she was very vocal at this time, and several people were speechless for a moment. Of course, they have a momentary enthusiasm, but to say that they will not be held back if they have blood is pure wishful thinking.

Ning Yi stood outside the window and listened with interest for a while, feeling that his wife was really getting more and more flavorful when she scolded people. Xiaochan came from behind and saw Ning Yi standing outside the window, wanting to say hello, but Ning Yi raised a finger to "shhh", and then hugged her. Xiaochan's face turned red, although she also realized what Ning Yi was doing, and stood outside the window with him to eavesdrop on Tan'er's training.

"Xianggong, I don't want to be separated from Miss......" After hearing it for a while, Xiaochan muttered softly.

"I don't want to." Ning Yi hugged her and shook it with a smile, "But some things are a month in advance, anyway, let's go to the front station, and when I go to Liangshan, you still have to wait for Tan'er in the capital to pass, and it won't be long before you can see it." ”

"Hmm." Xiaochan nodded, and Ning Yi said softly, "What did you do this time?" ”

This time, Xiaochan nodded vigorously: "Fight the front station and take revenge!" ”

"What's the matter, we used to have children all the way."

The two have been skin-to-skin for a long time, and this kind of talk is not out of line. At this time, Ning Yi was holding Xiaochan from behind, Xiaochan was holding his hand, but suddenly he also laughed "hehe", like a shy little beauty in a cartoon.

"The dog is bloody, I'll go in and help talk." After a while, feeling that they were talking about each other in it, Ning Yi let go of Xiaochan with a smile. When he entered from the door, everyone in the room stopped, and several young people called him "second brother-in-law", Ning Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go out first, don't make your second sister angry." When several people hurriedly ran away, he patted Wen Ding's shoulder: "Don't worry, you must have something to do this time, it depends on whether you can do it or not." After all, the Su family will still rely on you in the future, so study hard. ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of several people suddenly lit up, but Su Tan'er, who was still angry over there, narrowed her eyes and looked over. After a few people came out of the room, they asked aggrievedly, "Xianggong really plans to take them there?" ”

Ning Yi sat on the edge of the bed: "What do you think?" ”

"This kind of thing, where can I take them there. There must be a lot of old people in that secret investigation department, who are skilled in everything, if you take these people with Wen Ding Wenfang, things may go wrong, and in the end, you have to save them, so what can you do! She was a little aggrieved and stared at Ning Yi. Ning Yi smiled.

"I've thought about this matter and thought about it for a while, but what the hell does the secret investigation department do, I've already told Tan'er, and you have a number in your heart."

"Hmm." Tan'er nodded.

"A thing has to be laid out well, and the most dependent thing is intelligence, I agreed to join them for this, and it is much easier to take revenge on the people of Liangshan. But those who play intelligence are not necessarily reliable, and people who know too many things are like toilets, they are very needed when they are used, and everyone wants to avoid them when they are useless......"

When he said this, his expression became serious, Su Tan'er listened carefully, frowned, and said, "Is Xianggong worried...... Qin Xiang and Kang Horse? ”

Ning Yi shook his head: "After all, I'm still familiar with them, what I'm worried about is ...... More above. He signaled, Tan'er fell silent, and then looked at him worriedly: "Can't ...... Will you withdraw if you solve the matter of Liangshan? ”

"I have other things I want to do." Ning Yi smiled, he had actually set a goal at this time, which was to help Qin Siyuan and the others stop "Jingkang". If things continue to develop like this, and the Wu Dynasty army is so ineffective, it is certain that the Jin soldiers will go south in the future. When he was separated from the watermelon, he had already made such preparations in his heart, as long as such a large-scale disaster did not occur in the future, the Jurchens who occupied the northern land would soon be corrupted, and at that time, the Wu Dynasty would maintain peace for a hundred years, and he would not ask for more. There is no way to guarantee what will happen after death, and the so-called peace for all generations is just a nice ideal, but one thing is certain, everyone has to earn their own lives, and those who only hope that others will help or save them, and when they die, they will die, at least with him, there will be no mercy.

Naturally, he didn't want to tell Tan'er about things like "Jingkang", so he paused for a moment and said, "This time in Beijing, since the family has been divided, and if you want to do business, you might as well make it a little bigger." I will mention something to Qin Xiang, if he agrees, the secret investigation department will not be what it is now, but I am afraid of accidents, I also want to have some things in my hands, I will bring two people from the family, and Wen Dingwen Fang can stay at home. In addition, I would like to ...... Let Tan'er help you do something, and you are the only one who can do it. ”

Tan'er smiled and held his hand: "Your life is my life, there is really such an important thing, Xianggong, if you don't think about me...... So I divorced you. ”

Ning Yi couldn't help laughing, and then held her palm with both hands: "I don't know what will become of Lu Dao in the end, no one will know about you, but if there is really any accident in the future, maybe you can give it to me...... Also untie our family. ”

Since ancient times, those who change the law have never come to a good end. Because between people, the role of force is actually mutual, if you want to make a big change, you will inevitably encounter a big counterattack, and if you want to stop any trend, the same is true. Ning Yi understands this, and because of this, from now on, he has to prepare.

In the evening of that day, I chatted with Wen Dingwen Fang and others for a while, and I naturally didn't tell them too much about the thoughts in my heart, but selected two people from them to go north. These two people are also cousins who are close to Dafang's blood, one is called Su Wenyu, the other is called Su Yanping, and as for Wending Wenfang and others, they stayed here to cooperate with Tan'er. In fact, the gap between people is usually not much, and the children of the Su family are just not trained too much and their performance is mediocre.

At this time when Confucianism was in power, it was generally advocated to change the world with the power of one person, and the gentleman of Tianxingjian was constantly striving for self-improvement, and the gentleman was like a dragon, etc., so the young people of the Su family were always ambitious when they were not capable enough, and wanted to drive a big boat and control the overall situation, so they were clumsy, but if everyone could recognize the distance between themselves and the world, and do their own things before thinking about others, they might not be successful.

The family matters are now arranged. That night, Ning Yi and Tan'er were lying on the bed, and the child was gently rocking in the cradle next to the bed, when the moonlight poured in through the window. The husband and wife did not fall asleep, but they were also quietly snuggled together. In the middle of the night, the child wet the bed and cried, Ning Yi got up and changed his diaper, held him in his arms and coaxed, sat on the chair next to the bed and sang softly, the song was like this:

"The bison herd is nowhere to be seen from the grassland, and it knows that there is a human being coming, and the earth is waiting for the people to come and reclaim it, and come to this most beautiful new world......

Tan'er lay on the bed, watching him quietly, listening to the melody that did not belong to this era with the stars, moonlight, small courtyard, and bamboo forest outside the window. Three years ago, a soul came to this world and watched everything in this era as a tourist and a vacation, and now, he has seen and felt many things, and finally decided to do something about this era. At dawn, he will wake up from his sleep and enter a new world that belongs to him.

On the same night, in the warehouse of King Kang's mansion, there was also a figure, holding a lamp, cruising between one large box after another. At dawn, the boxes would be loaded onto cargo ships and transported all the way to the capital, where they would be sent to the palace as a tribute to the royal family and birthday celebrations. Things have already been prepared and numbered. The figure calculated where the boxes would be numbered, then opened them and removed the gold and silver jewels inside, and tried to lie down in them, using a knife to dig a small hole in the chest.

Everything is ready.

After digging the small hole, the slender figure holding the light breathed a long sigh of relief in front of the box and nodded.

Life is like a chess game, and there is no return to the husband. Although she is not a big husband, she is confident that there are women in the world who do not let her eyebrows, and she wants to go to a new place and see a broader world.

Neither husband nor wife slept too long that night.

After waking up in the morning, Tan'er dressed him, had breakfast, and the family went to the dock in Jiangning together, where several big official ships were already waiting there, and the colorful flags on the ships were displayed, and in addition to Kang Xian, there was also Zhou Xuan, the princess of Chengguo. Many officials from Jiangning Mansion also came, because these boatloads of things were to be transported to the capital to celebrate the 50th birthday of the current Queen Mother.

Due to some considerations, Kang Xian just waved to Ning Yi from afar, and did not come over to talk to him more, but Wen Ren also came, got on the boat one step earlier, and also did not come to disturb the Su family's mutual goodbye.

"You have to remember your home and come back safely."

has said enough on weekdays, Tan'er only whispered this sentence to Ning Yi at this time, and then told Su Wenyu and the others not to mess around, dragging her brother-in-law back, and told Xiaochan to take good care of her father-in-law.

"It's better to have a child." She attached it to Xiaochan's ear and said softly and playfully, Xiaochan blushed and didn't dare to nod.

Far away, Yunzhu and Jin'er got on a big boat in the rear under the leadership of the family of the Horse Mansion, and when they looked over from there, Jin'er stuck out her tongue at Tan'er's back and made a big grimace, and then jumped on the boat with Sister Yunzhu.

Su Tan'er smiled and glanced at the boat over there, intentionally or unintentionally, the wind blew and ruffled her hair. The families of King Kang's Mansion and Princess Mansion carried boxes one by one to the boat, and in one of the boxes, the girl looked out through a small hole, the hustle and bustle on the dock, and everyone's pity fell into their eyes, and at a certain moment, she almost passed by Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others. The girl blinked in the box, watching Ning Yi's figure flash in her field of vision.

One by one, the boxes were moved into the cabin, and with a bang, the girl felt that her boxes were put down, and she lay in the boxes and waited for a while, and suddenly, with a bang, a box fell on the top of her box, and she was stunned for a moment, and carefully pushed it up, but the lid of the box was extremely heavy, and under her strength, it did not move.

She hurriedly looked out from the small hole, and it was difficult to decide whether to make a sound, and I don't know how long it took, but with another bang, a box fell in the field of vision in front of her, blocking her vision......
