Chapter 228: Treat them all with tenderness
The biggest festival of the year, on this day is naturally extraordinarily lively, in previous years, as early as more than half a month ago, the corresponding things have been in full swing at the beginning, but this year because of a series of things, the atmosphere of the festival and pressed back for a while. But when the day came, it was business as usual.
The officials of Jiangning Mansion went to the street early in the morning, and they had learned from the past, every time they were like this, they didn't dare to be careless, and they couldn't afford to bear the guilt. The people on the street were a little restrained, but they were as lively as ever.
Jiangning had closed the city gates in the evening, and additional officers and soldiers were also sent to guard the city gates everywhere.
At the end of the month, I went to the street for those things, and I walked around for a while, and I didn't think too much, probably I saw a lot, or this year was not a good year after all, and these activities in the city were not as lively as in previous years.
When Wang Ning was on the road, she found an excuse to leave, and then it was late at night when the family met again.
When Wang Ning came back from outside, Su Xiaoyan heard the movement, got up from the bed, got out of bed and lit the candlelight.
In the bright yellow candlelight, Wang Ning walked over from the door, and looked calm all the way, but the expression on his face was not good, and his body was also stained with some dust.
Su Xiaoyan walked over, patted the dust on his body for him, and didn't say too much, Wang Ning looked at her expression, smiled softly, held Su Xiaoyan's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry so much, I just went out to meet someone, and when I came back, the road was windy and dusty."
Su Xiaoyan was still a little unaccustomed to Wang Ning's sudden tenderness, and tried to pull it out of the other party's hand, but after failing to do so, she had to let Wang Ning hold it, and then glanced at him helplessly: "You, ......"
At this time, there was no sleepiness, so I sat down at the table, the red candles flickered, but it was very similar to the night of the candles in the cave room, in fact, for so long, the two of them really didn't talk well on such an occasion.
Wang Ning saw that Su Xiaoyan was a little worried, smiled, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Jiangning Mansion, and I have to worry more about the affairs of the family."
Su Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled, and sighed: "With such a husband as you, even if the concubine wants to be idle, how can she be idle!"
Wang Ning nodded noncommittally, seemed to agree, and then said curiously: "Speaking of which, I'm really curious, Xiaoyan, how could you be willing to marry me?"
Su Xiaoyan said: "Have you forgotten the place where you went to my house to make trouble?"
Wang Ning recalled for a while and said in a daze: "There is such a thing." Then he grinned, "In this way, Madame is really at a loss." ”
Su Xiaoyan bowed her head and said, "You still have a little self-knowledge."
Wang Ning retracted his gaze and looked at the foggy sky outside the window, the excitement of the first half of the night had stopped.
The two of them didn't say anything else, they seemed to be pretending, and they both seemed to understand that there were some things that should have been tacitly understood.
The candle is extinguished, and people rest. Haha Literature Network
When Su Xiaoyan woke up again, there was no longer Wang Ning by her side, and after she got up, there was a letter left by Wang Ning on the table, most of which was nothing more than what she talked about last night, Su Xiaoyan read it once, but couldn't help laughing.
Raising my eyes, the sunlight outside the window penetrated through the window paper, spring is coming, and the spring breeze is also a little anxious.
This year, Shenwu has been in the second year.
Wang Ning went to Jiangning Mansion early in the morning, originally before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was a period of rest, but because of Jiangning's eventful autumn. Jiangning Mansion since the prefect Du Cong sat in the hall early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Wang Ning came here to see Du Cong, and went straight to Jiangning Prison, he was also familiar with the people here, relatively speaking, he still received a warm welcome.
All things that are not beautiful are treated with tenderness.
In the current situation, it can only be so comforting.
The cell boss was still a little worried because of what happened last time, so he was more attentive after this meeting, and he also spoke above, he didn't dare to slack off, and then it was reasonable to guess Wang Ning's true identity.
At the beginning of the new year, everything is peaceful, the green willows by the Qinhuai River once again pull out the new buds, the river has a little temperature, and the restaurant and tea shop on the bank gradually become lively.
For everything that happened last year, except for those who lost loved ones, everything else has been selectively forgotten, and the way to forget the pain is for them not to remove the scars, and in a kind of self-paralysis, they begin to look forward to the next year.
Wang Ning's consistent actions have been used to by his shopkeepers, but this year, because of Su Xiaoyan's joining, many things are no longer as difficult as before, and after a year, the development of Yunji has stabilized, and the operation on weekdays has also had a certain foundation. According to Wang Ning's latest request, Yun Ji's real concern at the moment has also reached Hangzhou, so after fifteen, Su Xiaoyan will go south to Hangzhou to sit down, as for Wang Ning, he will probably have to stay in prison for a few months.
At the moment, the most important thing for Su Xiaoyan is Mao Yongqing's matter, after this person came to find her, she also began to decide to do something, after all, in the past few days, the business has not opened, and there is nothing that needs her to come forward.
On the seventh day of the new year, the Jiangning Mansion launched an investigation of some things that happened in Jiangning last year, and in the process, the matter of Maitreya was involved, and the most important part of this was to recover the people of the Tiger Head Gang last year.
The newcomer Ren Hutou Gang's gang leader is called Fang Heng, and he was also imprisoned on this day, which means that the Hutou Gang is truly destroyed.
And the Tiger Head Gang's private human trafficking was also exposed, and the Zhi'er girl in Wang's courtyard was also summoned to the government for questioning, and what Wang Ning was careful about finally happened.
After studying these things in detail, the involvement was somewhat extensive, and the gentry of Jiangning finally couldn't sit still anymore, and poked their heads out to stand on the opposite side of Du Cong.
Du Cong had Wu Shengjun as his backing, so he began to arrest and kill people again, and the original peace was shattered after all.
In the next few days, in the entire Jiangning Mansion, the Wu Shengjun moved frequently, and finally showed the world their demeanor in the north.
Among them, Wang Ning left Jiangning and went to Suzhou after meeting Qin Lao, and after seeing the steward of Suzhou Yunji, he left Suzhou again, and soon after, a water thief who was active in the Taihu Lake area showed his fangs to the passing merchant ships, and the imperial court's edict was also issued more than half a month later, and the officers and soldiers who exterminated the bandits drove to Taihu Lake.
On the Xin'an set, Wang Ning met with the head of Jindaozhai.
