The evening glow softly tore open the canopy, and the stars fell in the city. The breeze by the Qinhuai River swept away a lot of restlessness, stirring the willows, rustling and sounding.

Since many events in Jiangning City in July, a curfew has been imposed, and although the sky has not completely fallen silent at this time, there are few people on the streets, and there are occasional hawkers who are also in a hurry to rush home.

In fact, in a bustling city, no matter how big things are, it is only for a moment, and then it is the idle talk of Shengdou Xiaomin after tea and dinner, if it is not for the fact that Jiang Ning has been quiet for too long, no one will pay too much attention to these things, and under the strict orders of the imperial court, these things that happened will gradually disappear, and the only people who are really concerned are those who are sitting in the yamen.

Shengdou Xiaomin is not concerned about the major affairs of these families and countries.

The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, and the people are rich, so naturally they do not have the tangible feelings of the people in the north, so the feelings of family and country are often not as good as the favor of some talented and beautiful people.

Jiangnan, who is extravagant to the bones, is categorically impossible to empathize.

Recently, the victims gathered outside the city, the government and a few businessmen set up porridge shops, most of the people in Jiangning have never seen this kind of scene, but there are many people who come over to see the excitement, as for the process, there are also people who can't see the disaster and fight hard, the government later sent troops over, but put an end to the possibility of trouble.

However, a small number of people have been able to see the irreconcilable contradictions between the people of Jiangnan and the victims, and the current "peaceful" years may not be too obvious because of the regional relationship. But from a bad point of view, whether it is a catastrophe like this year's or a more serious military disaster, once the people of the north come to the south, if the contradictions accumulated at this time are uncovered by those who are interested, no one dares to imagine what kind of situation will be caused.

The carriage of the Su family slowly came in from the city gate, the shadow on the long street seemed so small, not far away, in the difficult squeak, the heavy city gate blocked the last ray of light outside, and the armored officers and soldiers on the long street walked over.

Night is about to fall.

Su Xiaoyan didn't go out for a while, and the family was too dull today, so she took two girls to the porridge shop outside the city, the Su family itself can be regarded as a rich businessman in the city, and she doesn't care about this money and food.

From Su Xiaoyan's own point of view, she does sympathize with those victims who are ragged and thin-skinned, but since she grew up in a businessman's pile, her sympathy is just sympathy.

Su Xiaoyan sees more than others, farther away, and knows that the current situation is actually not a good year, but in such a world, all she can do is accumulate more contacts for herself, maybe one day she will suddenly use it. Even if you don't use it, there's no need to deliberately offend.

People come and go, and most of the favors are nothing more than that.

Lu'er's face is pale, and she is not a rich family. Since she was a child and was sold to Su Mansion, although Su Xiaoyan treated her like a sister, but a small amount of suffering was left in her heart, and the scene she saw outside the city gate before evoked some sad things, and she didn't speak along the way, but the tears were held back.

The apricot next to her was no better, but seeing the appearance of Miss and Lu'er, she hid her thoughts and pretended to be a little "heartless".

In such a depressing atmosphere that no one noticed, the three masters and servants entered the city, walked along the street for a while, and entered the door of the Su family.

When I arrived at the front yard, a man named Ji Wenbo was talking to Master Su.

Su Xiaoyan's pace couldn't help but be a little faster, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

The candle flame shines through the lantern, and the light is faintly dispensable.

Su Xiaoyan walked over, saw her father, and immediately blessed Ji Wenbo on the side, and the other party returned the salute.

"Mr. Ji went back, he didn't think about leaving for a long time, but a few children in the academy missed it very much."

Ji Wenbo smiled slightly: "There is something happening at home temporarily, stay and deal with it." ”

Saying this, each of their thoughts is probably as simple as showing it.

After the closure of Jiangning, the Su family's academy has not been opened, Ji Wenbo bears the name of a gentleman, in fact, he has been staying in the Su family, Su Xiaoyan's few children in his mouth are just the children of several sons and nephews of the Su family, sent to the Su family academy before the closure, and then failed to go home in time and lived in the Su family, Ji Wenbo occasionally met and told a few stories in the past few days here.

The friendship between everyone has not reached the level of teachers and students at all.

It's more appropriate to say that those kids miss stories.

From Su Xiaoyan's point of view, the mood is more complicated.

If you say that over the years, she has seen a lot of people, whether it is a literati or an ordinary businessman, she probably has seen it all. It's just that after getting along, in the end, it will involve some things outside of feelings, so she still has a grudge about marrying. As for the acquaintance with Ji Wenbo, there are probably some dramas, I think I have read too many novels, and I have a different kind of impression of this person who saved his life.

But......

She raised her head and looked at the elegant young man in front of her, and sighed leisurely in her heart, but she already had a wife.

Then the two of them are impossible after all.

After saying hello, Su Xiaoyan said goodbye and left, leaving the sight of the two, and her disguise was removed.

Lu'er's face was full of distress, and Xing'er had probably not turned the corner yet.

Master Su withdrew his gaze from his daughter's back, and suddenly spoke: "My daughter is good." ”

Ji Wenbo was stunned, and then he understood: "Miss Su is really good for supporting a huge family." ”

Master Su sighed leisurely: "It's hard for her." ”

Ji Wenbo smiled, but stopped talking.

When the old man said this, he changed his words and talked about the affairs of the academy.

It is said that the academy is a way for the Su family to count on entering the scholarly family, so they have put in a lot of effort, but I don't know if the master invited is too pedantic and useless, or the nephew of the Su family is really stupid, and it is because of the little reward after paying.

If you really want your children to have a good way out, they will transfer to other better academies at about the same time, and the Su family's own academy has probably become a technical training college. Most of the people who studied here later went to the shops around the Su family to help manage or do chores.

However, for Ji Wenbo, this is a suitable errand, and he really wants to teach students.
