After everyone in the Ji family left, Ji Wenbo looked at the Li family and his party modestly, shook his head, and said apologetically: "I told you to see the joke." ”

Li Tianyuan said with a smile: "Where is it, human nature ......"

Ji Wenbo bowed slightly, seemed to agree with Li Tianyuan's words, took a few steps back, reached the corner of the courtyard, picked up a piece of firewood and weighed it in his hand, "Li Gongzi sent my Cui'er sister back, I guess I didn't come here today to visit relatives, right?" ”

Li Tianyuan caught a glimpse of the firewood in Ji Wenbo's hand, his pupils shrank, and he said with embarrassment: "Come over today...... It's to pick up Cui'er back. His afterglow stared closely at the firewood in Ji Wenbo's hand, and he probably weighed in his heart for a while whether the other party really called, whether to hide or not.

The faces of the several Li family members behind them all changed, but they were all very well hidden, they had expected such a scene before, according to their thoughts, after such a beating, it was not a big deal for the Ji family to let them take Ji Cuier back.

Ji Wenbo sighed and asked rhetorically, "Where are you going back?" ”

Li Tianyuan said: "Go back to Li's house." ”

Ji Wenbo paused and sighed: "Li family? He looked at Li Tianyuan, and his face finally became serious, "I heard that Li Gongzi has married a new family, and the other party is still the daughter of a certain official in the city......

When Li Tianyuan heard this, his heart was not good, but he could only nod.

Over there, Ji Wenbo spoke again: "If you come over today to deliver the letter of resignation, the Ji family will not say anything, Cui'er suffered such torture, and a letter of resignation is the best result for her...... But what you said about taking her back, the Ji family is afraid that they will not agree......"

Li Tianyuan said: "Cui'er and I are still husband and wife after all......"

"Hey, I can't trust you." Ji Wenbo interrupted Li Tianyuan's words, threw down the firewood in his hand, and said lightly: "I thought that there were some things between husband and wife that could always be explained, but the matter between you and Cui'er is not just between husband and wife. Ji Wenbo glanced at the people behind Li Tianyuan, and said, "Which one of them said, do you dare not listen to it?" ”

Li Tianyuan laughed noncommittally, but no matter how you look at it, that smile makes people feel weird.

Ji Wenbo then said: "I can see your heart for Cui'er, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to marry her." But ......" Ji Wenbo looked away slightly, and said with resentment: "But in your eyes, she is just a woman, just a woman who can be discarded like a broom for the benefit of the family." ”

"Today, you can't take her away."

Li Tianyuan was already about to say goodbye and leave, but someone behind him stood up dissatisfiedly and pointed the finger at Fourth Uncle Ji: "The Ji family has received the bride price from the Li family, and the Li family also carried people back with a sedan chair...... Ji Cuier was born a member of the Li family, and died as a ghost of the Li family. ”

Fourth Uncle Ji's face was so sad that he didn't have time to speak, Ji Wenbo next to him had already laughed, and everyone looked over, only to see him pick up the firewood on the ground again, and look at the person who spoke sarcastically.

Li Tianyuan opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"What are you going to do? I'm Ji Cuier's third uncle! ”

"Ahhh......h Ah, why don't you know that Cui'er is also your junior! Ji Wenbo said this, the firewood in his hand had already waved towards the man, the man hurriedly dodged, but tripped over someone's foot behind him, plopped down to the ground, crawled up in embarrassment, and fled without looking back.

Ji Wenbo chased to the door and stopped, looking back at the Li family, "If it is like this, it is impossible for Cui'er to go back to the Li family, although it is not good for Cui'er's reputation, but if the Li family is insistent, you and I can also walk through the court." ”

Ji Wenbo had already stepped out of the courtyard and said, "Fourth uncle, send off guests." ”

Fourth Uncle Ji was depressed, but more remorseful for his past.

Li Tianyuan's voice sounded again: "Second brother, wait a minute......

Ji Wenbo turned around and met Li Tianyuan's gaze, who paused for a moment and said, "I am willing to write a marriage letter......

As soon as these words came out, Li Tianyuan's whole person also withered. Hearing an exclamation, a woman's crying voice sounded in the courtyard: "Tianyuan ......"

Everyone looked at it, Ji Cuier's face was like white paper, and her eyes were full of grief.

Li Tianyuan's eyes were soft and sad, looked at Ji Cuier, and smiled: "That's fine." After that, he looked at Fourth Uncle Ji next to Ji Cuier, thought for a while, and said, "Please ask your father-in-law to bring a pen and paper, and Tianyuan will write ......."

From beginning to end, his gaze did not fall on Ji Cuier again.

Fourth Uncle Ji looked at Ji Wenbo, Ji Wenbo nodded, Fourth Uncle Ji beckoned his wife on the side, asked her to look at her daughter, and went into the house to look for pen and paper.

On the big tree outside the yard, Ji Ling'er's eyes turned red, and she said distressedly: "Sister Cui'er is so pitiful." ”

Wang Ning quietly watched the scene happening in the courtyard, but he didn't want to think too deeply, so he was not as sad as Ji Ling'er.

Xu didn't hear a response for a long time, Ji Ling'er turned her head, glared at him fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so hard-hearted!" ”

Wang Ning was helpless, revealing a little difficulty: "Love and love these things have their own fixed number." ”

"Humph......"

Li Tianyuan wrote a marriage letter in a hurry, and finally pressed his handprint, then looked up at Ji Cuier, turned around and left without looking back, the Li family was unwilling, but they could only leave.

Ji Cuier watched Li Tianyuan leave, until she couldn't see the other party, Fourth Uncle Ji shook his head, the whole person seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and turned around and entered the house.

Ji Wenbo's face was heavy, but there was no more appropriate way to do it other than that, even though Li Tianyuan was really concerned about Ji Cui'er, the attitude of the Li family towards Cui'er was very different. Cui'er returned to the Li family, and it must have been the result of a depressed life.

Righteousness is often not as important as selfishness.

Glancing at Ji Cui'er, who was depressed, Ji Wenbo said, "Cui'er, this is your home." ”

Ji Wenbo walked not far away, and met Ji Ling'er and Wang Ning, Ji Ling'er saw that the second brother's face was solemn, and he didn't ask any more questions, and said "I'll go see Sister Cui" and left the two men.

Ji Wenbo looked at the resolute Ji Ling'er, and he didn't know whether he wanted it or not, and said to Wang Ning earnestly: "I really don't know what this girl will be like when she falls into a relationship!" ”

Wang Ning said: "Not every man is like you. ”

Ji Wenbo smiled and stopped talking.

Ji Cui'er's affairs didn't really stop for a long time after that, so in order to eliminate a certain possibility, Ji Linger has always been by Ji Cui'er's side, but she forgot about Wang Ning.

Every time Ji Wenbo went up to the courtyard halfway up the mountainside, he would always make fun of it, and Wang Ning was not surprised.

In the blink of an eye, Qixi Festival is approaching, Ji Wenbo took the family task and led a group of juniors of the Ji family to Jiangning City, and only one person was left at the wine table in the courtyard.

The green mountains are like a dream, the green water is like a fantasy, the bamboo waves are crying, everything is so bright.

Ji Ling'er stood outside the courtyard gate in frustration, and only after a long time did she raise her head, looked at the man and said, "Wang Ning, accompany me to the city!" ”

Wang Ning sighed at the changes in the woman in the past few days, but inexplicably felt a little distressed, although most of this distress came from the threat somewhere in the bamboo forest, and after a long time away from Jiangning, he also wanted to go and see, so he also promised Ji Ling'er to do a good thing.

Ji Ling'er went back to the house to clean up for a while, took out a Tang knife from the house and handed it to Wang Ning.

Wang Ning's eyes were slightly condensed, looking at the half of the Tang knife, but he didn't reach out to pick it up: "If it's broken, just throw it away." ”

Ji Ling'er sighed, and said with a slight blame: "I thought it was something very important to you." ”

Wang Ning thought for a moment and replied, "It used to be, but now it's not. ”

"So what's important to you right now?"

The four eyes looked at each other, until the woman turned her head embarrassedly, Wang Ning said leisurely: "What you have now is very important." ”

"Oh......" Ji Ling'er lowered her head, "Then this knife ......"

Wang Ning stretched out his hand and took it, and threw it out with all his strength: "Don't do it." ”

After throwing it out, Wang Ning regretted it a little, of course, this was not because of reluctance, it was just because of something that had always existed in the bamboo forest. His knife is indistinguishable to ordinary people, but in the eyes of those who care, it is easy to see his identity through the knife.

The Tang Knife was a recipe for the Jiangshanlou Assassins.

Ji Ling'er saw Wang Ning's strange appearance and thought that he was reluctant, so he sarcastically said: "Two-faced." ”

Wang Ning didn't care much, this girl could sarcastically show him that the situation was not as bad as before, and most of the previous appearance was pretended.

After going down the mountain and standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, Ji Ling'er looked at the stone statue that had just been repaired, and inevitably remembered Sister Cui'er in the village.

She looked back as if it was a farewell.

Because of the Chinese Valentine's Day, Jiangning City was already busy and lively half a month ago.

The literati gathered, and some entertainment flourished.

In this era, the literati and the land of Qinglou can be said to have an indescribable relationship, and there are also some good stories about each other's use of each other.

Among them, it probably starts with the poetry clubs of each family.

It was not the first time Ji Ling'er had entered the city, but everything in front of her still made her scream again and again, revealing a side that did not match her age.

Wang Ning probably put himself in the perspective of Ji Ling'er's guards at this time, so he didn't see the strange eyes of the people around him.

Of course, those rich sons who don't have long eyes are really a headache, so much so that Wang Ning plans to take Ji Ling'er out to dress up the little girl in the future.

Fortunately, Wang Ning's cold expression, as long as a glance passed, there were not many people who really dared to step forward.

In the teahouse by the Qinhuai River, Wang Ning tasted tea carefully, but Ji Ling'er, who was sitting opposite, looked unhappy, and was quite unhappy with this dull atmosphere, but the reason given by Wang Ning made her unable to refute, so she could only stare at Wang Ning viciously, hoping that Wang Ning would realize that he was wrong.

But Wang Ning looked like he was enjoying it, and he didn't care about the woman's gaze, there was only tea in his eyes, and even in the whole world.

The customers in the store are in twos and threes, and Xiao Er is not busy, and they also look at the two who don't know whether they are friends or lovers here.

Wang Ning didn't think much of these glances, but Ji Ling'er couldn't stand it, so she had kicked Wang Ning many times under the table.

Xiao Er brought the tea over again, Xu was after thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth: "The guest has been to the shop before, right?" ”

Wang Ning was kicked by Ji Ling'er again, only to realize that people were talking to him, thought about it and showed a harmless expression, and said: "Little second brother is wrong, I ...... Jiangning with my little sister who just arrived today."

Wang Ning's smile froze and twisted.

Xiao Er thought he saw something, and smiled: "The little one recognized the wrong person...... Guests are busy. ”

Wang Ning nodded, and after Xiao Er left, he glared at Ji Ling'er, Ji Ling'er turned his head and pretended not to see it, and picked up the teacup and tasted it patiently.

Wang Ning said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is difficult to raise a female villain."

Half an hour later, Wang Ning finally settled the bill and left the tea shop, just went out and heard Ji Ling'er complain: "It's obviously all the tea you drink, why do you want me to pay?" ”

Wang Ning said lightly: "Just because you have money." ”

Wang Ning went to the street, probably looking for a self-righteous direction. Ji Ling'er stayed in place for a while and chased after him, "Didn't you say that you were my follower?" Why did he become my brother again! ”

Wang Ning's answer was drowned in the noisy voices.

Several juniors in the tea shop were interested, and one of them said, "I said it wasn't that person." ”

"Well, it's not!" The one next to him looked at the empty seat again, "That man is very generous." ”

"Hey, what are you doing with the pain, didn't you see that the female guest was paying the bill......"

The little two looked at each other with a smile in their eyes, and they couldn't hide their envy for a moment.

Walking in a familiar place, Wang Ning's mood did not change much, and he was happy to stop when he passed by a few places where he had drunk tea, pretending to be a stranger or drinking a cup of tea, or saying a few words to the shopkeeper.

Ji Ling'er walked around with him, probably knowing that this guy in front of her should be a person who had lived in Jiangning City, thinking of the many things she had encountered before, she couldn't hide some of her thoughts.

The willow leaves at the head of the bridge sometimes withered, fell into the river, followed the river wind, followed the flowing water, and went to an unknown place.

The owner of the tea shop is still busy, but there is no one in the shop, under the willow tree near the river, a chess stall was set up today, and several old men with gray temples gathered here, while playing chess, while talking about the recent court game.

The two old men who were playing against each other didn't seem to be interested in this, and looking at the focused appearance, all their thoughts must have been spent on the fight on the chessboard.

The old man leaning against the river gradually showed a smile on his face, looked at the old man with a serious face on the other side, and said, "Ming Gong is afraid that he will lose this game." ”

Several old men who were talking around looked at the chessboard when they heard the sound, and nodded in agreement, but there were also two people who had different opinions. So they deduced it separately.

The old man of Ming Gong snorted and said, "Old Qin, you are not kind. ”

Speaking of throwing in the towel, it is not necessarily really annoyed because of a game of chess, and the so-called unkindness in the words is just a joke.

Lao Qin squinted, knowing his friend's personality very much, he didn't care much, he started to clean up the chess pieces, and commented on Fang Cai's chess game.

Several old men around him also got involved.

After talking for a while, most of the people in the chess stall left, and Lao Qin and Ming Gong played against each other again.

It's just that in this game, the thoughts of the two old men also went to the side of the matter.

At the end of the game, the old man got up and said a little angrily: "No, no, no......"

Lao Qin cleaned up with a smile, and didn't forget to joke: "If you let those disciples of yours see it, it will damage your reputation!" ”

Ming Gong disagreed, and changed his words: "Tomorrow's poetry meeting, do you want to participate?" ”

Lao Qin shook his head: "At the moment, my identity is still not suitable for participating in these cultural meetings. ”

"The Puyang family has been here before, but I refused."

Ming Gong smiled: "You old man is not afraid of offending others, making your two sons worrying." ”

Lao Qin smiled gently: "The old man over there is not worried, it's just Ruiqing...... He commanded the envoy ......"

The old man sighed, but said nothing.

The old man Ming's face changed slightly, and he also watched his old friend's two sons grow up, and it was not unreasonable for the old friend to be so worried.

relieved: "Ruiqing's boss is not small, and he has his own plans for everything." It's you, I'm afraid there is no hope of recovery in a short time, but don't lose your old heart! ”

Lao Qin said: "I'm afraid that many arrangements in advance will be in vain!" ”

At this point, the two old men fell silent.

Not long after, a person dressed as a guard hurriedly ran over, stood down next to Ming Gong, and said eagerly: "Master, something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The Yellow River has burst its banks......"

Ming Gongteng stood up and said, "What! ”

Over there, Lao Qin's hand to clean up the chess pieces was also stagnant in mid-air, and his eyes were worried.

"How's it going?" At this time, Ming Ping came back and asked flatly.

"I don't know the specifics, but ......"

"But what?"

"Some of the victims have already gathered outside the city."

The guard lowered his head as he spoke, not daring to make a sound.

"And that means it's been a long time since the disaster happened? And the court has not received the report? ”

The guards were silent, but Ming Gong knew that everything was as he said, and the situation was so bad!

The two old men sat opposite each other for a long time, and probably discussed some remedial measures, until the sun was getting western, and then they got up and left.

Wang Ning put down the tea bowl in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go too." ”

Ji Ling'er looked at Wang Ning in surprise, but she couldn't say anything.

Wang Ning was full of emotion, since he saw the old man, he knew the identity of the other party, and as for the one next to him, it was probably Du Xian, who was also in the same position. He didn't expect these two old men to be able to get together.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Qin Bi chose Jiang Ning is probably because of this old man Du.

What made Wang Ning even more emotional was that he couldn't kill Qin Bi in such a killing game, that strong man was unexpected, but he was also blocked by him, after thinking about it, Wang Ning had already understood, presumably there were other people involved.

However, he was used as bait, and in the end, he was betrayed, Wang Ning also has her own plans, at least that woman should know all this, plus that woman knows his true face, then she should die?

So do you want to find a chance to kill her?
