Chapter 266 Refusal, Stacking Waves
"The family summons, there are some things at home, I want to leave early today, and I hope that Zhu Gong will forgive Haihan......"
"I'm afraid it's not going to be peaceful tonight......"
"The house is over there, Zhu Gong doesn't have to send ......"
"Forgive me......"
"Haihan Haihan ......"
The flames were soaring, the troops were mobilized, and the chaos that suddenly arose lasted not long in the city of Hangzhou, and the situation in the Four Seasons Zhai also woke up from the initial shock and panic, and leaned in the direction that things should be
Governor Qi Yuankang's rebellion, this is the news that came not long after the incident, and there is no need to say what kind of inside situation it has at this time, the city can be lit up in a fire, and the mobilization of such a large scale of troops probably means that many things have reached the point of irreparability At this time, the vast majority of those who came to participate in Zhu Yanlin's banquet at this time are people with a certain background, and their families have more or less their own strength and relationships
It is necessary to have the first time to respond, half of the people began to say goodbye to Zhu Yanlin one after another, on the streets outside and in the city, the atmosphere began to become solemn, every household in the residential area closed their doors, darkened the lights and candles, and except for the occasional team of soldiers running on the street, there were a group of people rushing home, although the chaos has only affected a few streets in the east, but no one knows when martial law will begin in the city
The vicinity of Sijizhai is now one of the relatively lively gathering areas in the city, in addition to the restaurant and tea shop, there are also two green buildings opened nearby, some people rushed back at the first time when they learned of the chaos, and there are also relatively calm people who feel that they have nothing to do, and still stay to watch the movement, but most of these shops have been closed, and no longer receive guests, therefore, when the carriages next to Sijizhai are dispersed one after another, it does not mean that the party is dispersed, and the dozens of people who stayed behind still maintained the scale of the party and stayed in the hall
One of the big reasons for this may be because Lou Minzhong's son Lou Jingzhi is still staying in the Wenhui and has not left Zhu Yanlin has no close relationship with Qi Yuankang, no matter how things change in the end, since this party was initiated by him, it is natural that it will be maintained
There are fewer people, and there is a chaos outside, the small houses in the restaurant have extinguished many lights and candles in the building, and most of the people who have stayed behind have gathered on the platform on the second or third floor, with Zhu Yanlin and Lou Jingzhi as the center, looking at the development and changes of the war in the distance, pointing and chatting, and some people made poems: "The West Lake water surrounds the south of the Yangtze River, and the lonely city is not clear in the middle of the night...... Eventful autumn, ah......" is quite instructive, and the Oiran who was invited to participate in the literary meeting did not send it away, but at this time the song did not dare to sing anymore and was called up to talk to everyone, commenting on the poems to enliven the atmosphere, these women are not vases, and after a while, everyone set up a table here, which is regarded as a wine with the current situation
Not everyone gathered on this side of the building
At this time, Lou Shuwan and Ning Yi were walking between the corridor on the first floor, at this time the lantern had been withdrawn most of the light on this side seemed dim, looking at the past, the light above the second floor was bright, and the sound of talking and laughter could still be heard, and some people were holding on to the railing of the corridor and looking into the distance, but not many people noticed the people walking in the corridor below
The corridor in the courtyard leads to the side of the river in Sijizhai, at this time the night breeze is slightly cool, Lou Shuwan, who is dressed as a man, walks beside Ning Yi, gently holding his arm, on the waterway at the other end of the field of vision, a two-story painting boat slowly sailing from the field of vision, and the light seeps out of the window of the painting boat, which has a quiet atmosphere
Speaking of which, since the city of Hangzhou was broken, everything around the body, in fact, has become unshaped, the days are anxious and pale, everyone's busyness does not know how much the meaning of the road is a little slowed down, and the participating literary meeting can no longer see the elegant atmosphere of the past, and some are just tasteless gilding and touting but surprisingly, just now that the situation suddenly becomes more tense, she seems to feel the breath of the past again..., as if at the gathering of literati, she left the venue, and the feeling of a tryst with her favorite man is elegant, Heartbeat and tranquility intersected at this moment - in fact, she had never really experienced this kind of feeling before, but what she had seen in this story, in the love plot that she heard by word of mouth, was probably described in this mood
"Participation in the Governor's Affairs...... It happened so suddenly, the Lou family's business is so extensive now, if Miss Lou doesn't go back immediately, won't there be any problems? ”
At the end of the courtyard is a corridor parallel to the river, Ning Yi propped his hand on the railing, looked at the painting boat in the distance, and just talked about it, Lou Shuwan sat down on the bench inside the railing, smiled and shook his head: "The family does have some business with this Lord Qi, but the matter can't be related to the Lou family, and this kind of thing, if you really have to deal with it, it can only be solved by the father and brother, so I asked the family to go back and report the letter, at this time, the situation is still chaotic, it is better to wait here until the situation is clearer before going back, lest there be any misunderstanding with people on the road."
"That's right" Ning Yi nodded, and also sat down next to him, this position was facing the corridor and window on the second floor over there, because the eaves of the corridor were blocked, only the oozing light could be seen, but laughter could be heard from time to time, and occasionally women sang poems in a low voice, probably tasting the poems
Lou Shuwan lowered her head and spoke softly: "It stands to reason that the governor is also a big official, similar to the prime minister, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen suddenly...... I heard before that this Qi Da is both civil and military, although he is a civil official, he has some subordinates, and he has a good relationship with the civil and military generals......"
She said for a while, feeling bored, raised her head and stroked her sideburns, and smiled towards the second floor: "...... What does Liheng think they are talking about? ”
"Before the poetry meeting, they talked about political affairs, but now that something is really happening, political affairs are not easy to say, but they can say some poetry with peace of mind."
"Liheng came out to hang out, do you feel a little boring talking about poetry with them?" In Lou Shuwan's opinion, Ning Yi was one of the best talents, and asked with a smile, Ning Yi also shook his head: "I don't like those very much, I will come out and walk when they really chat."
"It seems that Liheng feels boring" Lou Shuwan continued to laugh and paused slightly, "Actually, I'm similar to Liheng at this point, and I also think it's boring, but I'm actually because I don't understand this, but Liheng understands it too much."
"Heh......"
"When I was a child, I liked poetry, but I haven't learned too much, I like to see how those talented people chant a good poem, how the high-spirited poems don't matter, can make people so high-spirited, that's a good thing, I thought that managing business, doing well can make myself so high-spirited......"
As she said this, her mood seemed to be slightly depressed, and Ning Yi got up and said, "Miss Lou......"
Lou Shuwan raised her head and asked softly, "Can't Liheng call me Shuwan?" ”
"Not very good" The words were faint, like a confession, but Ning Yi's expression did not change, he just smiled as usual, "It's not good for us to go up and sit and sit all the time."
"Hmm" Lou Shuwan got up naturally, and walked towards the second floor with Ning Yi, Fang Cai's brief conversation may have some meaning, but for a moment it seemed as if it had never happened, and it dissolved in the subsequent conversation between the two
After returning to the second floor, someone came over to say hello: "This is Ning Liheng Ning Gongzi, I couldn't find the two old husband Zhu Yanlin who thought they had left, and I just heard someone talk about Ning Gongzi coming over at this time, it's really slack."
Zhu Yanlin is about fifty years old, it is not an exaggeration to call himself an old man, he can be regarded as an orthodox literati, he didn't know about Ning Yi's coming before, at this time, he obviously heard people talk about Ning Yi, and he also knew that he did the song "Wanghai Tide", so he paid attention to the two of them chatting for a moment on the side, and at the gathering place of the guests on the other side, there were also people looking at the woman who sang "Wanghai Tide" before this side was one of them, because he heard the name, he asked the person next to him: "That is Ning Li Hengning Gongzi?" "Probably because I read the lyrics and became a fan of Ning Yi...,
On the side, Liu Xiyang, who had not left, also looked at this scene with a little envy, everyone in the academy couldn't tell too much from each other, at most they felt that Ning Yi had thorns on his body and a backer behind him, there was no need to provoke At this time, there is a difference in treatment, so that he can experience a sense of loss like a literati
It's just that at this time, not many people noticed that Lou Jingzhi, who had always been the center of attention in this gathering not far away, also heard some words, looked at Ning Yi's side, and asked someone over in a low voice: "Could it be that the author of "Wanghai Tide" over there, the one surnamed Ning Mingyi and the word Liheng?" After getting the answer, he asked a few questions, and only when he knew where Ning Yi was working now, and received information such as Wenlie Academy and Badao Camp, he narrowed his eyes and frowned thoughtfully
The chaos outside is still continuing, as time passes, it seems to have become organized, and part of the chaos has been suppressed If you have experience, you can probably see that although the chaos seems to be more intense from the beginning, the situation is far from getting out of control Four Seasons Zhai, this party is also going on in a relatively relaxed atmosphere, although from the beginning he expressed his admiration for Ning Yi, but then there was no special program that he needed to participate in
Everyone's minds are on the outside, if everything continues like this, maybe it won't be long before the party will almost end up, and everyone can go back Ning Yi was nervous when he heard Liu Dabiao say this morning, and he also brought weapons to go out, but after the incident, he also knew that Lu Dao had no problems of his own, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and in such a situation, an accident quietly came
Not many people noticed that in the middle of the meeting, a man entered the restaurant, and after a brief look upstairs, he walked at this time, a team of sergeants was hurrying over under the leadership of that person, if it was far away, others might think that this was a soldier rushing to support Qi Yuankang's rebel block, but when he arrived at the bottom of the four seasons, the general in front waved his hand: "Surround"
After a while, Wen Ren, who guessed the intention of these people, rushed to report to Ning Yi, but it was too late
Under the leadership of the general, a group of more than 20 people had already entered the hall and came towards the second floor, Liu Jin, who had followed Ning Yi, had already rushed up first, and everyone at the party was a little puzzled by the handle of the knife he was carrying, but Ning Yi glanced at it and understood
The man in front was about thirty years old, burly and murderous, this was a fierce general who had really fought on the battlefield
Ning Yi let out a breath
That's Li Tianyou
These people came over and sat down at the table around Ning Yi and Lou Shuwan, Lou Shuwan looked left and right, puzzled and embarrassed, for a while, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, only after a while, her face turned pale - she thought that her family had finally been affected and something had happened
