After the New Year, every household cleaned the courtyard and put up New Year's pictures and window flowers. When the lights are on, horse-drawn carriages pass through the streets, and the occasional firecracker can be heard. Tan'er lifted the curtain and watched the carriage pass through the pedestrians on the street, and soon after crossing the big goods store, it was Yanheli.

The snow has been swept straight on both sides of the street, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, and there are mostly blue-walled compounds on both sides, lanterns hanging next to open and closed gates, and stone lions erected. Some of these courtyards are lively, some are deserted, and the outside can not see the inside, and the couplets are pasted on both sides of the gate, and the one close to the house is pasted with "National Grace and Family Celebration, Life Expectancy". As the carriage passed, it was beating people out of it with a loud voice, accompanied by the sound of a woman crying.

On the Ning Mansion side, there are a few figures who are also probing their heads to see the excitement here. After the carriage drove over, Chan'er, Su Yanping and others trotted over, and Tan'er also took a look, and saw that two women, one big and one small, were thrown out of the gate, and the big one had blood on his head.

"I heard that it was the fourth aunt's wife of that family, who was not very careful, stole money from the family, and did not respect her in-laws, so she played out......" Xiaochan leaned to Tan'er's side and said in a low voice, "It is also said that this fourth aunt and wife have an affair with the family, and her husband doesn't want to soak her in the pig cage or sue the government, but just drive away their mother and daughter......"

In the midst of high-ranking families, sometimes this kind of thing happens, and it doesn't need too detailed reasons, and it is difficult to say whether the information is true or false. Tan'er shook her head, looking at the street over there, the mother pulled her daughter to kneel on the ground and cried and kowtowed, but someone threw the little burden out, and under the light at the door, there was a man standing there. He looked at all this with a cold expression, and turned to go in. When the servants closed the door, the woman cried and threw herself on it.

"It's a big New Year. Where can people go......"

Sighing, Tan'er, Xiaochan and others entered from the door, Su Yanping, who was keen on gossip, was still lying by the door and watching, and after being stared at by Tan'er for a while, he raised his hand and followed in - many things in this family are imprinted by Ning Yi at the moment, and they shrugged their shoulders and snapped their fingers or something, including some of the nervousness that Ning Yi showed when facing the enemy, and a group of guys took it as a trend to learn.

Of course, the only thing that can be used as a joke is that the second brother-in-law doesn't seem to be able to pick up girls. Occasionally, similar rumors reach Tan'er's ears. When I asked them, no one dared to say anything. In fact, they don't say it, and Tan'er mostly understands that it has a lot to do with Nie Yunzhu.

Entering the door is the main courtyard of the reception, and there is a large lounge next to the main hall, and many of the decorations in it are made by Ning Yi. All kinds of interesting chairs, carpets, and furs, which are quite warm in winter, are a place for families to rest and gather at night. At this time, Wen Fang Wending and the others were already inside, talking quite bustling about the things in the compound outside the city, some interesting but useless new gadgets, or ideas on how to use new gadgets to make money.

Under Ning Yi's men. This family has not produced the same estrangement as the high-ranking families, or it has not yet reached the time for estrangement. Every time she sees the harmony of a group of brothers, Tan'er sincerely hopes that this scene will last longer.

She is the mother of the house. But after all, it's also a woman, come and say hello. I left two snacks behind and went back. Not much. Ning Yi also came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, carrying some intelligence files, and when he returned to the room, he was talking to Xiaochan: "On the way back, I saw a woman with a child at the door of the house next door, crying and banging on the door, it's really ......miserable."

"It's the master's fourth concubine, I heard that people are old and unpleasant, so they were kicked out of Lu......" The gossip in Xiaochan's mouth changed again, "Xiaochan will be driven out of Lu in the future." ”

"You have wronged me. I'll swell your ass at most......"

"Well, you'll be the first to do when the time comes, uncle......"

Tan'er smiled and looked at the two of them at the door as she said come in, and soon after, Ning Yi put down the intelligence files he brought back. The family talked, chatted, and after dinner, they went outside to get together with Su Wending and others for a while, and when they went out to see during the walk, the concubine and the child who were kicked out of the house next door were gone.

The days can pass slowly, and the emotional problems can be pressed to the bottom of the heart, Ning Yi's side, in fact, there are many serious things. For example, the situation in China and the Northland, occasionally he will take a look through these files, Tan'er can understand what he wants to do, although she is a woman, she can still understand Ning Yi's worries many times. Ning Yi did not attach great importance to the current decline of the Liao State and the specific situation at home and abroad, he just collected and sorted out the attitude of the Jin State in the cracks of some intelligence.

"In fact, from the intelligence collected by the Jin State in the early two years, it can be seen that these Jurchens are actually very in awe of the Wu Dynasty. When Lianwu invaded Liao, Wanyan Xiyin actually came in person, I inquired about his information, this person is very powerful, both civil and military, and he is considered a pro-Wu Dynasty, but for more than a year, some of his words and deeds have become a little disappointed in the Wu Dynasty...... It's too ugly to play. As for Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zonggan, compared with the changes in their attitudes towards the Wu Dynasty in the past two years, it is actually very terrifying. It's a pity that the Secret Investigation Division doesn't have much to collect these things......"

While flipping through the information of various secret investigation divisions about the Northland, Ning Yi summarized many details and information that others didn't care about, and transcribed them with a pen. In the whisper, Tan'er will also participate.

"You transcribe these things, can it be useful?"

"It's not easy to get the above to be prepared to beware of the Jin country. Lianjin invaded Liao, on the one hand, because there were few people in the Jin Kingdom, and it was calculated that they would not attack the Wu Dynasty. Second, people like Jin are more friendly, and after the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the propaganda that everyone is a brotherly state has long been doing. If Jin Guo really wants to fight below, there are many people who have to carry this black cauldron. ”

"Because you have to carry the black cauldron, you have to prepare first, right?"

"The problem is that no one wants to say unlucky things, the Liao State is still fighting, and the Jin State is still fighting righteousness, so someone will stand up and say that the Jin people are likely to continue to fight our Wu Dynasty, even if it is possible, it will make the people below panic. I can only talk to Qin Siyuan about these things...... In fact, it's not that no one in the secret investigation department is worried about this, you look at the information I copied down, and after talking about Yan Zongbi's attitude. The handwriting is mostly the same, and it looks like a woman...... Liaodong Division 1 of the Secret Investigation Division. Although I don't know who Lu Dao is, I'm afraid they are the ones who know the Jurchen temperament best......"

"Woman?" Tan'er came to be interested. After taking the information, Ning Yi shook his head.

"In this world, men are better, but women are ...... I have looked at the days when these pieces of information were sent, and calculated that this person should have entered the high-level of the Jurchen people, and it is estimated that he is already a slave or a favorite concubine. It is not easy for a woman from the Southern Dynasty to be willing to do these things......"

Ning Yi shook his head. Continue to record: "This information, in fact, is not systematic, and there is no point in making a threat report. I just want to analyze the character of everyone in the Jurchen high-level, maybe it will be useful in the future, and you can use some small means or something...... Oh, I always say that those people can only use small means and can't fight head-on, but when it comes to me, it's actually pretty much the same. ”

"You just said come and help. It's not your business alone...... And there are really few people in the Jin country, maybe they won't be defeated. Tan'er comforted.

Ning Yi nodded and smiled: "It's the same, the old problem is ......."

In the warm room with the lights on, the couple chatted. An air of urgency and casualness. The child had already been taken away by the nurse, and the couple blew out the lights late at night. Go to bed in a warm futon. The bodies mingle together. Not long after, Ning Yi got out of bed. When I arrived at the hot water boiling in the coal stove, I soaked a towel to wipe Tan'er's body. For this kind of thing, Tan'er always feels a little shy, in the days when husband and wife are intimate and most of them are routine things to turn off the lights and close their eyes, at least this kind of thing to serve women is not what men should do, and it seems somewhat obscene, but after the weather gets cold, Ning Yi no longer allows her to toss and get out of bed, in such years, many illnesses are actually equivalent to waiting for death.

In the early morning of the second day, Ning Yi would get up, or participate in the morning exercise, or light the lamp and candle, and deal with the unfinished work in the room, and Tan'er would peek out of the bed to look at him. Also in the early morning of that day, when Ning Yi saw a piece of information, he frowned slightly. It was about the news that after the great rebellion of the Liao Kingdom, in addition to the Jurchens, there were several forces in the surrounding area, and among the Mongolian tribes, there was a force that rose in the northwest grassland, which was one of the several forces that developed rapidly. Of course, compared to the speed of the Jin people, this force was only overtaken by the intelligence.

Beggar ...... Have you heard this name somewhere......

Ning Yi recalled, but did not find a suitable answer from the clues in his mind, he put this simple information aside and did not record it.

It was also at the same moment, in the midst of a snowstorm in the Northland, a group of dozens of horsemen were about to set off for the south. The first Pharmacist Guo drank a bowl of wine and said goodbye to several generals of the Changsheng Army in front: "I went south this time to meet the current saint!" Brothers, when I come back, I will give you all a rich and prosperous life! ”

"Such a heavy snowstorm, big brother ......"

"Ha Luha, I'm waiting for the Liaodong boy, it's snowy, and it's warm after the Yanmen Pass!" Guo Yaoshi was the same thing, and after a while, he asked the horse to lean over and patted the general's shoulder, "The Chang Shengjun will rely on you, remember what I said, as soon as the snow is smaller, I will go to catch Ding." I can see it clearly, now I don't care about who starves to death or not, the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty are not beaten, we must have someone on hand, we must be able to fight ourselves, there are people, there are people, there is money, food and wealth, no one, relying on several armies of the Wu Dynasty, they take care of intrigue, and they can't fight if they run away first. Remember...... I'll go first-"

Turning the horse's head, Guo Yaoshi led the people, gradually disappeared into the southward wind and snow, passed through Yanmen Pass all the way to the south, and went to Bianliang.

Soon after, the fireworks of Chinese New Year's Eve rose in the capital, and Yun Zhu's body was finally completely well. One day after Yuan Xi, she invited Ning Yi to come over for dinner on letterhead, and for several months, most of the information between the two could be transmitted by word of mouth, but this time it was different, she said on letterhead that she wanted to go home.

Want to go back...... Walk around the hometown where my parents used to be......
