422. Friends
Unexpectedly, since Zhang Shichao came, no matter whether he knew him or not, he had met him a few times, and he had come to see Nangong Jin, which annoyed Nangong Jin.
But according to Zhao Fengming, it is definitely not possible to come hard, and you will not see you when you look up in the business field. Well, that's just pretending to be sick. Although it is almost the end of the year, it is time to go back to Pingyang to prepare for the New Year, but Nangong Jin just doesn't give up, thinking about whether there will be news of Feng Mo'er. According to Ling Zheng's previous statement, there must be a battle with Zeng Yiyi, after all, he had a friend with Feng Mo'er, hoping to take her out.
But only a few days later, he received a letter asking him to go home. The key is to ask him to bring back Cheng Zhaofeng and some of the Jingzhou people, the New Year is approaching, and they need to be temporarily responsible for the defense of Nangong Mansion. So, let Cheng Zhaofeng draw more than 20 people in Qifeng Hall and Yijian Hall, and took these people back to Pingyang with Yao Fangyu.
The atmosphere of the Pingyang New Year Festival is not too strong, this is the first Spring Festival after the disaster, there is not much festivity in the city, but there is a faint sadness lingering.
Zhang Can, who had been waiting in Pingyang, had already returned to Nanhai, saying that Nanhai would marry Yao Fangyu after a good year. At first, he still wanted Yao Fangyu to follow him back to the South China Sea, but he couldn't wait for a long time. Nangong Dingkang suggested that since he was not in the South China Sea, the scale was not limited to the size, and he should do what should be done first, after all, the dowry would go with Zhang Can.
To be honest, with these more than ten car dowries, for Zhang Can, he has face and the task has been completed, but he is happy.
In the past few months, Nangong Wan has been in a good mood because she has become a widow. The battle of Fenzhou in Tatar actually caused Wang Pengfei to die. The Wang family's vitality was greatly injured, and they no longer had the energy to fight with the Nangong clan. So, in the days when Shen Xueying was not at home, Nangong Wan took care of the house, and Fu Qingshuang did not leave, helping to rebuild everything in the house, and the family seemed to acquiesce to this situation.
Of course, after Nangong Jin went home, he didn't have to live in the Fenghuayuan guest room anymore, after all, Shen Xueying was back, and it was inconvenient for him to live. Fortunately, with the addition of Li Mo, the reconstruction of the mansion was very fast, and several destroyed courtyards had their original appearance.
The Spring Festival is coming in this busy, the ancestral hall has been destroyed, and Nangong Dingkang did not build it at the first time, but just cleaned it up. There is no Nangong Sheng this year, although the second room is still a little reluctant, but Nangong Dingchang is a little afraid of this patriarch from the bottom of his bones, so no matter how simple the sacrifice is, no one has any objections.
Because after the first month, it is necessary to prepare for Nangong Jin's marriage. The Spring Festival at home is also very tense. Nangong Wan was helping to make the wedding clothes of the two, Nangong Pu and Li Songran were busy vacating the west courtyard for decoration, while Zhou Tang and Shen Xueying were not only busy with the Spring Festival, but also busy with the details of the wedding for three days.
Nangong Jin had nothing to do again, so she simply took Yao Fangyu and the two children to play around Pingyang. Of course, after Nangong Yao came back, she and three children were added. On the contrary, my uncle Lu Wan was not only busy helping Du Ling make instruments, but also helping Li Songran and Li Mo to think about various facilities in the house.
After a busy New Year, Nangong Mansion is full of happy events. After the festival, Zhang Can really returned to Pingyang again, and this time he was not the only one who came, but also several elders of the Ying family and the women who gave the bridal.
Two days before the wedding, Pingyang City was already overcrowded, and there were not only all the relatives of the Nangong clan and the side branches who came to help, but also the twenty-three hall masters and some members of the hall under the Nangong Gate. Nangong Jin also brought all the neighbors in Yanzhou in advance, including Xiao Lian and Xiao Pigeon.
It's not the right day yet, and the excitement has overshadowed the Spring Festival.
Tianchengwei Feng Yue, Jin Jianchang, Ding Xionghui, and the generals and soldiers in the army arrived in an even more enthusiastic atmosphere, this group of people is a complete master of coaxing, three or two to coax a group of children at home to sing military songs loudly, big bowls of wine.
However, there are not many people near the back mountain of Fuchu. Although after the demolition of the wooden house on the back mountain, Nangong Ding'an's body was not found, but Nangong Pu did not mention it to anyone except to tell Nangong Dingkang, and the family seemed to have already tacitly accepted that Nangong Ding'an was dead.
Nangong Jin did not go up the mountain, but sat with Feng Mo'er in a tea room at the bottom of the mountain that was transparent on all sides. This tea room is newly renovated this time, and it also takes the meaning of the secluded back mountain.
The two sat opposite each other, with water boiling in a small red clay stove beside them. Feng Mo'er stared at Nangong Jin with a serious expression, and Nangong Jin seemed to have a calm face, and kept taking water to make tea in her hands. There was a document on the table, and no one seemed to care about it. However, just in front of a cup of tea, the moment Nangong Jin saw it, he was shocked.
This is a top-secret document that only a few people in the Jinyi Guard can see, and it records Nangong Jin's identity and all the missions.
Boiling tea is just a calm process, no matter how calm the surface is, countless thoughts have already passed in my heart. Finally, serve Feng Mo'er a cup of Jin Junmei. Nangong Jin smiled lightly, sighed slightly, and whispered, "It seems that I should really quit this errand." ”
"Really?" Feng Mo'er's serious expression did not change.
Nangong Jin poured a cup for herself, and said very casually: "Sister Feng can bring this, and I don't want to hear me deny it." ”
"So, it's true." Feng Mo'er's eyes darkened, and she sneered: "Now tell me, your family is all imperial eagle dogs, and I won't doubt it." No wonder, in the early years, what was the reputation of Nangong Dingkang, which could also become a legitimate businessman. ”
Nangong Jin smiled and asked, "Oh? My dad has a bad reputation? ”
"If it weren't for him, your relatives would have been many times greater; If it weren't for him, there would be dozens more sects in the rivers and lakes. You see, who still claims to be decent at every turn? Feng Mo'er shook her head, "Is this good or bad?" ”
"Oh? However, he did everything by himself and had nothing to do with anyone. As for my ......" Nangong Jin glanced at the information on the table, "Have you read it carefully?" It is not easy for a child without a father and mother to live. ”
"What do you want?" Feng Mo'er asked.
"I'll ask you this." Nangong Jin smiled.
Feng Mo'er looked at him, "You're going to get married, everyone can be regarded as friends, drink a glass of wine, and that's the end." ”
Nangong Jin sighed, "Am I sorry for you?" Or, what did I do to make you feel like I'm sorry for your friend? ”
"Didn't you?" Feng Mo'er shook her head, "Everything in the South China Sea, you just deliberately picked Zeng to fight the South China Sea faction." Why? Add incriminating evidence for him, so that the sailor can send troops to clean him up? ”
"He's a pirate, what other incriminating evidence do I need me to deliberately add to him? There is already an antagonism between the Ming Sailor and the pirates, so I don't need to provoke it. If I want to say that there is a purpose, I just want the South China Sea faction to be sad. ”
"Really?" When he said this, Feng Mo'er was not so sure.
"Alas......" Nangong Jin sighed, "Have you looked at this thing carefully?" ”
Feng Mo'er didn't answer.
Nangong Jin smiled bitterly, "Your information is very accurate, exactly the same as my file in the yamen." Although I still don't understand what the problem is, my mission is in the north, not in Daming. Now, being suspended is real, because it was exposed. It's just that I didn't expect that even the south side knew about it. It seems that this errand is really not to be done. ”
Feng Mo'er was still silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Nangong Jin said softly: "Sister Feng, my family gave me Huguang's business, a few days ago, I just set up a Jingshang Hall, so that my father-in-law has more things here." He's old, and there's a lot going on, but I don't want him to work too hard. But I'm often absent from the Central Plains, and I don't know what will happen in the future. I thought, if you can, can you come to Huguang to help me? ”
Feng Mo'er looked up at him, "What do you want to do?" ”
Nangong Jin smiled, "Make money." I can't do that difference now if I want to. But for me, state affairs and family affairs are two unrelated things, and I never mix them up. Tomorrow I will get married, and the most important thing after that is to earn money to support my family. However, if I need to go to the north again, I will go. ”
"Because, without us, more people would have been displaced, more civilians, and soldiers would have died in the war. I've seen so many dead people, dead cities, and every time I see this despair, I'm glad I'm not one of them. Sister Feng, I hope that people all over the world will open their eyes every day, thinking about whether to eat or eat noodles today, instead of worrying about whether they will be alive tomorrow when they close their eyes at night. Can you understand me? ”
After a long time, Feng Mo'er smiled faintly, "I'm not a saint, I just hope that my friends won't betray." ”
"It's a lifelong thing for my friend, but now for Sister Feng, it's a gamble. But no matter where I bet on it, since I came to Pingyang, I only hope that Sister Feng will not go back to Quanzhou. Of course, it would be even better if I drank this cup of joy wine and could also drink the full moon wine of each of my children, because I definitely have more than one child. Nangong Jin said with a smile.
Feng Mo'er also laughed, and the expression in her eyes that she had rejected people thousands of miles away was gone, "At the end of last year, the sailor fought another battle with Zeng Yiyi in the South China Sea, although the sailor lost again, Zeng Yiyi also died a brother. At the beginning of this year, he will definitely take revenge, but now I don't know where he will choose. ”
Nangong Jin nodded, "The water master has lost several times, and the imperial court will definitely have to regain this face." ”
"You mean Zeng Yiyi is dead?"
Nangong Jin casually threw the information on the table into the stove, "I didn't say that. What level of the water master, I don't want to evaluate. It's as if we all know to fight, but when? Where to hit? How to fight? I really don't know. ”
"No wonder you're in a hurry to get all the ships out of port and out to sea."
"That's not the case, anyway, the ocean-going ship is going to the Western Ocean, so let's leave early and see if we can make more trips. After all, now Xiang Kee's foreign goods are easy to sell. In the future, if Sister Feng has no cheap goods here, it will be embarrassing. Nangong Jin said helplessly.
Feng Mo'er thought for a while and looked up and asked Nangong Jin, "Do you still have a place to live here?" ”
"Yes, this time it was rebuilt, and several yards were built. said yes, Chengjun will also give a yard alone. ”
Feng Mo'er laughed, "I haven't played much in Pingyang, but this time I'm also in Xin, I want to stay a few more days and let him play with me." Can you, the boss, agree to give him a few more days off? ”
