Chapter 218: Xiaoxue
The first conversation after the newlywed was quite smooth, in fact, there have been many conversations between the two, whether good or bad, there is a very solid foundation for each other. It's just that in the end, the identity is a little different now, and what I say is a little cautious, looking like I'm afraid of saying something wrong.
So after a few words, I talked about business. Wang Ning may have sensed something, so she simply mentioned something, and then stopped talking to her about it.
Su Xiaoyan hesitated for a while, but couldn't say anything more. Wang Ning has solved a big bowl of noodles and stood up.
"Hmm...... Today you are not in good health, first have a good rest, tomorrow I will take you to our house to see. ”
Su Xiaoyan knew that Wang Ning had been tinkering with the manor, but she hadn't seen it in person, when she took over Yunji's business before, a "craftsman" called Shen Jing came to her a few times, although she didn't know much about it, but she could guess from the amount of money he had paid, and the house he built was definitely not small.
Then Su Xiaoyan mentioned a little sadly: "I promised to change my father's ...... for a big house."
Wang Ning was stunned for a moment: "If the old man is willing to come over, there can be a housekeeper over there."
Su Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm afraid I won't."
She laughed, and there was a little more mischievous in her eyes.
Wang Ning was stunned for a moment: "Go in and rest, there's nothing going on at home, don't be looked at and say that I abuse you......"
Su Xiaoyan nodded: "You have abused me in the first place."
"How can there be ......?"
Su Xiaoyan didn't say anything like "just last night", her cheeks turned red, she turned around and went into the house, with a bang, and then the sound of the deadbolt.
Wang Ning tilted her head and thought about it, took the big bowl in her hand and walked forward, met Mu Rong on the way, the little girl talked to him for a while, and then pulled him to wash his face and find clothes for him.
Fortunately, there are some reserves in the study, and I am not afraid of disturbing Su Xiaoyan, who is resting.
After some tidying up, Wang Ning met a few people in the family, said a few words, and then went out.
This trip is naturally aimless, and after he has been away from Jiangning for more than half a month, he is most familiar with the side where Qin Lao is setting up a chess stall.
The Qinhuai River is long, the dead branches are swaying in the wind, and there has been a light snow a few days ago, leaving some traces in some cold places.
Qin Lao's chess stall hasn't come out for a long time, and those old men who often come over seem to have their own things, so Wang Ning misses it a little.
So in the end, I passed by Qin's old house and got in.
Qin Lao hadn't seen Wang Ning for a long time, and he was still a little surprised when he came to the door, Mrs. Qin personally made tea for them, sat on the stove in the house, and the two also chatted.
“…… Du Zihui came over once and talked to the old man about disaster relief, and the old man knew that you had used some force behind the scenes, and the disaster relief booklet was also written with the ......"
"Does the old man really believe it?" Wang Ning asked rhetorically, and then said, "That's all the means of Sun Heng of Jiangpu County......"
"Hey, you kid, you're not sincere, Yi Zhi has also come to visit the old man, he has no intention of refusing." Cool Record Literature
Wang Ning smiled, "I'll recommend this person to the old man, it's okay." ”
This was obviously a way to change the topic, and Qin Lao didn't ask any further, although he didn't understand why Wang Ning was hiding himself so much.
At the moment, he said: "You got married yesterday, so you are running around and leaving the bride, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Wang Ning said: "What Qin Lao said, I would like to go out for a honeymoon or something, but in this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to go far."
"Hmm...... But it's in the past, and after a series of changes since last year, it's time to come to an end. ”
Wang Ning doesn't have as much hope as the old man, in his opinion, the current situation of the new dynasty is not good, the so-called improvement is just that Beirong does not fight, and Xiliang stays outside Helan Mountain, so that's it.
For more than 100 years of the new dynasty, many things have been rotten, and although today's officials expect to get rid of those rotten meat by powerful and decisive means, for the scholars, they do not have this consciousness, but for their own interests, they faintly stand against the emperor.
Even the old man in front of him, he did not hesitate to make a name for himself for the sake of the new dynasty, carried the black cauldron, retired from his high position, and hid in Jiangning. Wang Ning had heard some things about the old man before, and from Sun Heng's words, he could hear Sun Heng's respect.
But in the final analysis, what the old man did was more or less just useless work, so could Wang Ning say that Qin Lao had done something wrong?
In other words, there is no so-called right or wrong in this matter, what Qin Lao did was probably just hoping to give the new dynasty a few years of respite, and what Du Xian, who is now in the right position, has done is nothing more than this matter.
For Wang Ning, these things are still somewhat understood, but the things that once made him proud of themselves are no longer cared about at all.
He was even ready for the back road.
Suddenly a light snow fell outside the house, and the snowflakes fell one by one, and then stacked up, and some of the previous ones melted away, and the ones that fell behind gradually piled up.
Qin Lao glanced outside, turned around, looked at Wang Ning, and said, "...... Just like this snow, the fate of melting is inevitable when it falls first, but it is precisely because they fall first that the later ones can be piled up layer by layer. ”
"The old man knows that there are many things that are not in a hurry, but someone always has to do it, and it can't be said that it can be done, but it can always influence some people."
Wang Ning listened quietly, took a piece of bamboo charcoal from the side and put it in the brazier.
Qin Lao sighed: "The old man has done a lot of things in his life, but it is very difficult to say whether it is right or wrong, many things are just expedient measures at a specific time, and the old man also knows that his ability is limited, but over the years, he has still done some things."
Wang Ning nodded: "The old man has indeed done a lot of things for the world."
Qin Lao smiled and took the conversation: "You can write that booklet, the old man can see that you still have compassion for the people of this world, since this is the case, why don't you come out and do something for this world...... Speaking of this matter today, the old man also wants you to say a word accurately, if you have been snubbed before, you can tell the old man, although the old man has retired to Jiangning, the court can still say a few words......"
Wang Ning sighed: "Old Qin, I don't want to come out to do things, it's not because I've been snubbed, I'm just very clear about my ability, even if I really come out, I can't actually do anything."
“…… The reason why I wrote that booklet...... In essence, it's just a little bit of what you know and give it to someone like Sun Heng who can use it, which can be regarded as doing your best......" He paused, and then said: "It's just that if you do it yourself, it's not easy to do it......"
Qin Lao sighed and didn't say anything more, just confirmed Wang Ning's thoughts, and didn't know whether to be sad or angry.
The snow outside suddenly became heavier.
