The summer breeze lacks the warmth and gentleness of the spring breeze, suddenly sudden and gentle, like a woman's fickle face. The posture of a row of weeping willows on the Qinhuai River is more free and uninhibited, and occasionally opens his teeth and claws, as if he wants to break free. In fact, some of them did break free, being swept to the surface of the river by the wind, sinking to the bottom, or following the water to the other side of the bridge.

The rain has become more frequent, and naturally it is no longer as gentle as in spring. Every bean-sized raindrop crackled down, with the dark clouds covering the sky tightly, and occasionally thunder rolling, making people hide at home and dare not go out.

Just like the recent situation in Jiangning, since last year, the people have not had a good day, either this or that, tossing until now, it is true that there is already a panic in the hearts of the people.

In front of the prefect's yamen, the gentry who came to petition every day did not know how many, and most of them were assigned tasks before they came, singing with red faces and white faces. Those who sent things to his house, this one also made a decisive decision, pasted his name and put the gift at the door of the yamen, which seemed to be a farce, but it made people laugh.

Decades after the founding of the new dynasty, the Jiangnan scholars were excluded from the decision-making level of the imperial court for a long time, and there used to be an invisible rule of "not allowing the south to enter the political hall". In fact, in the years since the founding of the country, the position of the political boss has basically been in the hands of the northerners, and some families and even generations have worshiped the prime minister.

In the first year of Dechun, Du Xian of Jiangning Mansion broke this rule, and the presiding officer could change the law once. Of course, under a lot of pressure, Du Xian was driven out of the capital, and after not reaching the destination and degraded several times in succession, Du Xian wrote to resign and lived in Jiangning. It wasn't until the first year of Shenwu that it was reactivated.

After Du Xian, it was Qin Bi, who took over the responsibility on his shoulders within five or six years of Du Xian's retirement, and tried his best to do something for the country between compromise and persistence, until Beirong called, and the old man personally sent an envoy to make a contract with the other party, and finally took the blame and then retreated.

The major affairs of the government and politics are not as important as a few gossips in the mouths of ordinary people. Except for the few people who stand at the top, these things are probably considered by those who are standing at the top, and the others are probably leaning over to that side depending on which mountain is hard.

Even if you really plan to do something, the more you go to the back, you probably become one of them, otherwise, you will end up depressed.

After more than half a month of changes, the situation in Jiangning's commercial bank has calmed down, although the original three families are still there, except for the Li family, the other two basically exist in name only.

Needless to say, the Xue family, as the most severely targeted family, is basically fortunate that his family can still keep the signboard. Compared with the fact that the family business was almost wiped out, what made the Xue family sad and indignant was that in the end, they didn't know who did it. If it weren't for a series of events later, they would really have no shame to go to see their ancestors.

The young master of the Xue family, who is called Xue Lin, after getting Fang Heng's point, hurriedly ran to the Su family with a generous gift, explaining that the Su family was staring at each other, and I don't know why, Xue Lin knew that the so-called "son-in-law" of the Su family was a boo at all. Moreover, when he saw that the Su family was worse than him, he became more and more convinced that he had been tricked.

But the situation is pressing, and if you are tricked, you can only shrink your head into the crotch of your pants, pretend to be a grandson, and then ask for someone to find a relationship......

For the Su family, it is basically a catastrophe. At this time, the Su family, who was originally ready to move, finally understood that the business that they snatched from their own sister-in-law was simply given by others, and they were still complacent about how powerful their methods were. After understanding this, almost everyone prayed that Su Xiaoyan would appear quickly and save this crisis, but Su Xiaoyan never appeared once from beginning to end. The Su family was depressed, but they were also scattered, and the shopkeepers and stewards under them chose to leave without even getting paid, for fear of falling into the quagmire of the Su family and not being able to withdraw.

At this time, the Su family probably couldn't get up, and even Su Yuan seemed to have accepted his fate, and he didn't hide his face like ashes.

Su Xiaoyan, who was hiding in the shadows, watched all this silently, when she saw the painful appearance of those relatives of the Su family, she was happy in her heart, but when she saw Su Yuan's appearance, she was very heartbroken.

These are no longer within Wang Ning's consideration, after all, he originally planned to let the Su family go, but since Su Xiaoyan said that he was not distressed, then he was not welcome.

Wang Ning rented a small courtyard in the city and hired a few helpers to do some cleaning and waiting. Originally, Su Xiaoyan also lived here, but on the eve of the collapse of the Su family, she chose to move out, and she probably couldn't face Wang Ning.

So Wang Ning, at the instigation of the hired workers at home, bought a maid and came back. Of course, that wasn't what he intended. This matter is related to something else.

In order to show sincerity, seeing that he had money, he sent a woman to him, and after retreating a few times, a rich man surnamed Li sent a maid over on the grounds that he had no messenger in his family.

After learning about the girl's untrue past, he took the girl's deed of sale with it, and the girl was even considered to have been bought by him.

The little girl is not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, she looks smart, and she is also very good-looking, if she is born in a rich family, she must have broken the threshold of the people who come to say goodbye.

It was transferred to Wang Ning, and there were actually some factors. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, some things can already be done.

Wang Ning knew this, and the girl also understood, so she teased him intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days. It's just that he can be calm and calm in front of a charming woman like Ji Xi'er, how can he be tempted by this little girl's deliberate actions.

He didn't want to make fun of the little girl's clumsiness, but he probably thought it was funny, and let the little girl play in front of him.

Whenever he went to the kitchen to get something to eat, the aunt who hired him to cook also pulled him and whispered: "That little lady is afraid that she has ulterior motives, Li Ziwen who sent her is not a good person."

Mr. Wang Ning also held some cold food in one hand, grabbed his ears with the other, and said with a smile: "I see ...... It's not like that! ”

"Alas, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can say for sure!"

Talking here, there will be a voice of "Young Master, the hot water is ready" outside. After Wang Ning said that she would pay attention, she also went out from the kitchen, and then answered: "Go to the back room and bring me a change of clothes."

In fact, his life has always been like this.
