Chapter 316: Spring Warmth
In March, the warbler flies and the grass grows, and in the city of Jiangning, it is a good time for spring.
Qingming has passed, the valley rain has not arrived, and the cold in winter has completely dissipated by this time. In the season of blooming flowers, the water of the Qinhuai River has also warmed up, it is a good time to go out to the city outside the city, in the area of Bailuzhou, there are many people who go out for spring outings and gatherings every day, and the gatherings of the people who move to the house and the literati are also frequent, which is the most suitable period of time for party travel after the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve. Even if the sky is not beautiful, in the spring rain, people can always find some beautiful gardens, chant poems and make friends, see the clear spring rain falling on the emerald green and red, lined with poetry and picturesqueness, in front of the favorite woman to do enough performance, inadvertently, and there will be a period of emotional stories.
This period of time is also the most lively season in Jiangning's many fireworks places, Qinhuai style, gold dust ten miles, when the harsh winter is over, everything recovers, this is also the most word-of-mouth period of time. Led by the prosperity of Confucius Temple and Wuyi Lane, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is also the center of various activities in Jiangning at this time.
After Tongguan in the south recovered Hangzhou, the economy of Jiangnan, which was originally affected by the rebellion of Fang La, also recovered again. Jiangning was affected by the relatively hidden influence before, at this time the recovery of Hangzhou, although the high-level changes in the economic system of Hangzhou and Jiangnan have not changed much, but some families and giant businessmen have been greatly impacted in this chaos after all, and more people have been given the opportunity to come out in the midst of all the waste, and the replacement of the old and the new has injected more vitality into the original economic system, at least in the Jiangning area, the merchants and pedestrians who come and go from the north to the south. So it's even more numerous.
Ning Yi didn't get involved in these things anymore.
After the family came back from Jiangning, the most important thing was actually Su Tan'er's safe fetus. The many chaos in the family after the accident in Hangzhou, at this time, it seems that it is actually like the commotion of the clown, when Ning Yi and Su Tan'er come back, the big house is already recovering the lost ground, of course. There will still be the idea of "everyone is a family, what can you do with me" in the two parties and three rooms, and this kind of person falls into the hands of Su Yu, I am afraid there will not be much good fruit to eat.
For these things. In the few days after returning home, first of all, Su Boyong had already begun to move, and then the old lady Su Yu talked to a group of old people in the family, and the situation of the entire Su family turned from an undercurrent to a chicken, a dog, and a dog. It has initially formed the environmental foundation of Gong Douwen in later generations. However, Su Tan'er was not involved, she was nine months pregnant. After the last month's safe pregnancy, even if you want to think more, Ning Yi will not allow it.
As for Ning Yi, he naturally didn't get involved in such trivial matters at this time, and many people who wanted to come over to visit Su Tan'er. was also directly stopped and sent away by him. Many of the things he did in Hangzhou this year have been rendered by Su Wending and Su Wenfang. There are also many relationships brought about after returning home this time, and in the eyes of many people, they are already people whose weight is incalculable.
Most people knew about his reputation more than a year ago, and the Wu family folded in his hands and went to half of his belongings, looking at it in the eyes of others, it was like the Wu family provoking Su Tan'er to force him to come forward. easily broke the two legs of the Wu family, and at this time said that he was facing Fang La and others in Hangzhou. Even Fang Qi Buddha Stone Treasure and the like suffered a big loss in front of him...... There aren't many people who really see each thing, but now no one is blind to suspicion.
However, the twenty-two-year-old young man, looking at the eyes of others at this time, felt a kind of momentum that was not angry but mighty, and his reputation was matched with his deeds, which was also in line with the saying that the good attacker moves above the nine heavens, and the good defender hides under the nine earths. This kind of feeling, maybe even Su Boyong and Su Yu may not have it, at present, no one in the Su family wants to be idle and painful to explore his reality, everyone understands that no one can bear the consequences.
Of course, no matter what the impression Ning Yi gives people now, as long as it is possible and has spare strength, it is impossible for Su Boyong to let him come forward to clean up this mess. After all, he is in the Su family, although his current position in the Su family is delicate and complicated, but since he has not spoken, it is best to maintain his identity. In fact, in the era of the world, although everyone thinks he is very powerful now, if you really talk about it, it is impossible to really be afraid of him or fear him to what extent in your own family.
Historically, how many high-ranking officials can be cruel to political opponents, can be ruthless, and are often tossed by their own family's splashing skin. For example, if you become an official and your relatives come to take refuge, you must support them, give them food, give them a way out, and if someone in your family comes to ask for money, you must give it, and if you don't give it less, you will not be able to do it, and as soon as everyone goes back to publicize it, you will be spurned by 10,000 people, and you will not be able to become an official.
There are also many people who want to be a clean official, and they have a clean breeze on their sleeves, but they can't take care of their hometowns, and the people in their hometowns only think that he is stingy and stingy, forgetting his ancestors, and he was attacked and annihilated by political enemies in front of him, and he was betrayed by his family in the back, and his life is still tight...... The development of Confucianism, the development of the family world for thousands of years, in short, is like this, all kinds of relationships are involved. It is impossible for anyone who has become a big official to be free, Ning Yi is powerful, naturally no one believes that he dares to use a knife against his family, at most, don't force him to be anxious. In short, it is still a son-in-law.
On the other hand, after Ning Yi and his wife came back, they gave a shot in the arm to many merchants who were attached to the Su family. The actions of the Xue family and the Wu family finally stopped, they had already taken advantage, and at this time, they wanted to explore the reality of Ning Yi and the others. Whether it is Xue Jin or Wu Qilong, they have already handed over a number of posts to the Su family, inviting Ning Yi to participate in banquets, poetry meetings, and all kinds of names. Pu Yangyi and others also invited each other several times in the name of Qilan, but Ning Yi also refused.
His attitude of not giving face to anyone made Su Boyong feel a little pity, and said to Su Tan'er that if it was Pu Yangyi's invitation, he still had to go, in his opinion, the Xue family and the Wu family might not have to pay attention, and the Puyang family still had to give face. Su Tan'er didn't want to pay attention to it, but said: "Daddy, my daughter is in the baby, and if you say these words to your father-in-law, he will be angry." ”
"But ......" is obviously a strong daughter, and she welcomed a rich husband, but now this daughter has become a little afraid of her husband, this kind of appearance. made Su Boyong a little helpless.
On the second day of going home, Ning Yi and Su Tan'er announced the news that Xiaochan had officially passed the door, which was an official announcement of Xiaochan's status in the Su family. In the courtyard of the big house here, Xiaochan is also quite low-key. The relationship with the two sisters is still very good, and the things they do on weekdays have not changed much, anyway, they used to be the maids in charge, and at this time, at most, the monthly silver has been added. She can be a little more powerful outside, but Xiaochan doesn't take care of things outside, she doesn't want to cause trouble to Ning Yi.
On Ning Yi's side, he deliberately didn't want this kind of system and difference between wives and concubines to be reflected too much in his own yard. Of course. Su Tan'er and Xiaochan have rules in their hearts, and it is impossible for him to break these rules. But at least in the recent period, he has treated Xiaochan more like a sister than a concubine many times. This kind of situation is a bit delicate, Su Tan'er will feel strange, and secretly figure out Fujun's thoughts. Xiaochan will also feel that the situation is complicated, this is the run-in period between the three of them. What will become of the end is still difficult to say.
Most of the time, Ning Yi was still at home with Su Tan'er. Chatting and talking, walking and walking, sometimes peeling some fruit for her, or playing a game or two of backgammon with her, she is about to give birth at this time, and her mental and physical strength is not good to consume too much. Ning Yi sometimes told her some stories, or lay on the bed and read novels to her. Sometimes I even hum a song or two.
He is a person with modern thoughts, and he doesn't think there is any problem with this kind of thing, but in the Wu Dynasty, there are a few men who will accompany their pregnant wives like this, and if they want to sing songs for their own ladies or something, it is something that extremely bohemian men themselves can only do if they like drama. And even in that case, there is still a fundamental difference between believing in the inferiority of men and women in my heart and not showing such thoughts at all, once Ning Yi went out to get something, and when he came in, he could see Su Tan'er, who had always been strong, wiping his tears, and then smiling at him, Ning Yi pouted.
"What is this for......
"I'm thinking...... There are a few men who would do such a ...... for his lady."
"I'm too lazy to go out, and you don't want to socialize, it's all trivial...... You are like this, you shouldn't let your mood go up and down......" He took a towel to wipe Su Tan'er's face, and Su Tan'er took his hand and put it on his heart: "It's warm and hot, it's always been, there are no big ups and downs." ”
The more fixed going out is always in the early hours of every morning, running around the small building of the Qinhuai River, chatting with Yunzhu Jin'er for a while, there has not been such a quiet day for a long time, this feeling makes people feel that they have not been seen for a long time. At this time, the two of them had already learned the news that Su Tan'er was pregnant, but Yunzhu didn't say anything, and Jin'er only occasionally criticized it, but she didn't regard this matter as a breakthrough to fight with Ning Yi, which was very strange.
Of course, the essence of the exercise has not changed, Lu Hongti gave him a lot of suggestions and references for improving his martial arts skills when he left, and Ning Yi also practiced seriously, of course, there was no obvious effect in the first few days, but if he persevered, he might not be able to become a generation of heroes or something. Ning Yi still has confidence in Lu Hongti, and even copied a copy of these things to Yuan Jin'er, who often shouts that she wants to be a heroine.
In her spare time, Su Tan'er has already begun to think about naming her future child, and one of the ideas she is more keen on is more direct, and she decided to give birth to a boy in the future, which can be called Suning. Ning Yi seriously refused this: "You can't call this, you can't call it, if your son is called this, you don't have to call a daughter Supor......"
He didn't want the surnames of the two people to be put together, which made Su Tan'er very hurt, and he couldn't help but think crankily: "Xianggong is not willing...... Jiangning ...... Uh......"
She felt that Ning Yi was reluctant to put Ning behind Su, and she might feel that the name Suning confirmed Ning Yi's identity, and even emphasized it, Ning Yi had to explain, saying that it had nothing to do with this, and he had his own reasons. Then he said that he could choose a better name, and he had already chosen it anyway: Su Shi, Su Zhe, Su Xun, Su Song, Su Xiaoxiao, Su Dongpo, etc., all of them are better than Suning......
Regarding the name, in fact, Ning Yi felt that it was okay no matter what, and the reason why he objected to calling it Suning was just because he felt that it was too spoof when he heard this name, and he wanted to laugh. Of course, he is also seriously thinking about some good names these days, but anyway, it will take a long time to officially name the child, and there is no need to be too anxious now.
He was just leisurely thinking about the name at this time, and Su Tan'er seemed to be just thinking about it seriously. At noon on the sixth day of the third lunar month, Xiaochan accompanied Su Tan'er out for a walk, Ning Yi read the book, went out to look for it, turned around half a circle in Su's house, and when he arrived near the courtyard where Su Boyong lived, he vaguely heard his wife's voice, and then Su Boyong's voice said: "How can this be true, how can it be so!" ”
Ning Yi already had a foundation for his internal strength at this time, and his hearing was a little farther away, and Su Boyong's voice was faintly heard because it had improved. Ning Yi knew that the relationship between his wife and this old man was actually not very warm, and at this time, there was probably a disagreement because of something.
It's just that since Su Tan'er proved her ability, she has actually surpassed her father-in-law in all aspects of her family's business, how could Su Boyong suddenly have an opinion on her daughter. Ning Yi was curious, stretched out his hand over the wall, leaned over from the side, and then heard Su Tan'er's words clearly.
“…… The first boy's surname is Ning, what can he do? Daddy, he wants to inherit the mantle of the prime minister, but he also grew up in the Su family, and he will always remember the Su family in everything...... Xiang Gong actually didn't care about these things, he had already told me that even if his surname was Su, his children, he would still teach him everything that should be taught. Dad, you all know how to treat your daughter, I have been thinking about this for many days, so I told you ...... yesterday."
In the process of seriously thinking about Su's name, she actually wanted to let the first child have the surname Ning, Ning Yi listened for a while, stood outside the window and smiled, a little moved......
