Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Near the Water

Zhu Qiming looked at Ni Niang indifferently, thinking about Yun Niang in his heart, and after some comparison, he found that the two looked very similar, but their temperaments were very different. Ni Niang is even more coquettish, and there is no domineering faintly revealed by Yun Niang.

Could it be that they are all the way? The doubts in Zhu Qiming's heart showed three points on his face.

Ni Niang was calm, picked up a glass of wine, gently placed it on the bamboo canal, and quietly made a traction action when her hand left the lamp.

Following the slow flow of water, the wine cup with a six-point draft swayed down, and gradually drifted to the outside of the bamboo canal, as if it had been accurately calculated, and just stopped in front of Zhu Qiming.

"Congratulations to Childe for winning the first place, may Childe be happy for a long time!"

"Changle Weiyang" is one of the most commonly used auspicious words of the ancients, which is equivalent to the modern blessing phrase "happy forever". At this moment, in the game of Qu Shui, this auspicious language is eloquent from the mouth of the best people, which is quite appropriate.

The scene of the feast when he was in the palace in the past quietly surfaced in his mind, and the slightest feeling crept into his heart, covering up the lingering doubt.

Zhu Qiming happily took the lamp, looking at the golden liquid in the lamp, and there was a slight sense of emotion in his appreciative eyes.

Daughter red is a kind of rice wine, which is the only liquor in the world's four major brewed liquors (liquor, rice wine, wine, beer) that originates from China and is unique to China. Shaoxing rice wine in the Ming Dynasty is well-known all over the world and exported overseas.

As Ni Niang said, it is not impossible for young people to taste rice wine, so Zhu Qiming drank it all happily, and suddenly, his daughter's mellow and soft taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, making him have a long aftertaste.

A coquettish laughter was as light as a spring, lingering on the side of the case, more beautiful than the coquettish song of the yellow bird. Before the laughter stopped, Ni Niang put the lamp on the water again, and when she left the lamp, her fingers drew a beautiful arc on the water.

The wine cup containing three points of wine magically stopped in front of Zhu Qiming again, slowly swaying with the light waves, clearly with a hint of teasing.

"Congratulations to Childe for good luck, may Childe ······ Don't forget. ”

"Don't forget" is another auspicious phrase commonly used by the ancients, and is often used for relatives and friends to reminisce and say goodbye. However, Ni Niang and Zhu Qiming are not related, and they are only about eight years older than Zhu Qiming, saying that the elders are too reluctant, so the ambiguity of this auspicious language is invisibly highlighted at this moment, and a faint ambiguous atmosphere is filled in the air.

Ni Niang seemed to realize that she had chosen something wrong, and immediately blushed and looked slightly embarrassed. And Zhu Qiming didn't realize it, took the lamp in his hand, and drank it all again.

"Your name is Yun Niang?" Zhu Qiming deliberately wore a crown and Li Dai, but there was a bit of naivety on his face.

Ni Niang's eyes froze, and there was a pause in her smart hands for a moment, and then she smiled, "It seems that the son is not strong enough to drink, and after two glasses of wine, he forgot what he had just seen." ”

With the protection of the brocade guards, Zhu Qiming was no longer as flustered as when he first met Yun Niang, and smiled calmly, "Fang Cai only cared about eating and drinking, and he was distracted." Yes, yes, Ni Niang. However, there must be a Yun Niang in this world, the cloud is in front of the neon, can synthesize the word, the cloud can be interpreted as a beautiful rainbow, can also be interpreted as a traitorous person, the word can be interpreted in two, just as a person can have two sides, interesting. ”

"The son is young, but the scheming is better than the adult, Ni Niang is also lucky, a young son has such a conversation, it is really eye-opening!"

Ni Niang said calmly, but the small movements in her hand were gone, and three wines in a row entered the canal, all of which drifted down naturally, and coincidentally, the three wines stopped in front of Ni Niang.

After a few glasses of wine, Ni Niang's face became more gorgeous. "Li Shen in the Tang Dynasty has the verse of 'the mountain embraces the cuiping and the jade silk, and the cave passes through the golden que and the clouds', and the 'clouds' in this poem refers to the bridge, a bridge that is convenient for people." She sent a plate of dishes to Zhu Qiming, changed hands and poured wine again, "The bridge is used to doing good, and it is a great achievement to send people to the other side!" ”

Could it be that she politely admitted that she and Yun Niang were all the way? What is she hinting at?

Of course, Zhu Qiming knows the subtext in Ni Niang's words, in the heavily guarded dining room, such a subtext seems very abrupt, and it is by no means as simple as just signaling "helping", it seems to have a deeper meaning.

After pondering for a long time, remembering the past when Jinyun Pavilion transported arrows to the outside world, Zhu Qiming said quietly: "It depends on where the bridge is, if you build a bridge on the Great Wall, it will be a great crime." ”

Ni Niang pondered for a moment, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face, "It seems that I really found the right person." Childe said that there is a Yun Niang in the world, there is a Yun Niang, in Baoan Prefecture, Yun Niang and Ni Niang are the people that Childe should trust the most. ”

Is this an honest identity? It seems that Ni Niang must be a person with Yun Niang, and she learned about her whereabouts and suspicious places from Yun Niang, otherwise, she would not be so tempting, and she would not have said "I really found the right person"!

Thinking of the secret relationship between Jinyun Pavilion and the Warat people, Zhu Qiming blocked all the goodwill conveyed by Ni Niang, and said secretly: Letter Jinyun Pavilion? Are you kidding!

Ni Niang was still knocking on the side: "Palace······ Childe may be the same as the rest of the world, hating the Warat people. More than two months ago, the Tartar thieves entered the Kou in a big way, and the discerning people knew at a glance that it was Wara's doing, but the court didn't see it much. At the end of March, Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department, and the governors Renli and Jiang Gui led a large army to suppress the remnants of the Tatars, holding their left and right sides, and the Tatar Khan Atai had fallen into a desperate situation. ”

The word "line in" in Ni Niang's mouth "line in the military department" has a great origin. Emperor Xuande had special feelings for Nanjing, and when he agreed to move the capital to Nanjing, he had violated the Holy Communion before the trip was made, and the matter of moving the capital was shelved. Now the move to the south has been shelved indefinitely, but the word "line in" has been carried over and will be canceled a few years later.

Zhu Qiming was shocked when he heard this. There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty is following in the footsteps of the Northern Song Dynasty, just like the Great Song Dynasty did to Jin, the Ming Dynasty had unrealistic illusions about Wara, seeing that Tatar was already in the waning days, he bullied the weak and feared the strong, and took the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty to open up the expansion space for Warat, and step by step pushed the remnants of the Tatar into the arms of Warat, such a ridiculous decision-making actually came from the temple where the learned people gathered!

Taking history as a mirror always seems to be an empty word! Compared with the Hongwu and Yongle periods, the cultural level of officials at all levels during the orthodox period has risen several steps, but their insight and resourcefulness are far inferior to their predecessors, which is a very strange historical phenomenon.

Ni Niang did not have the leisure to discuss history and the present, and saw Zhu Qiming's expression in a trance, and threw out an inside information: "There are Warat people watching and harassing in the entire north, and Luo Rujing, the governor of Shaanxi, played this matter to the court, and the result of the court's discussion was: treat the Warat people with courtesy." ”

Ni Niang put the lamp into the water, and a deep meaning floated in her eyes, "Therefore, Warat is a friendly neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, not an enemy state." ”

The slowly drifting wine cup suddenly tilted back, and immediately sank into the water, and Zhu Qiming's heart was also sinking.

Disgrace!

History has its own inherent trajectory, and there will always be strikingly similar scenes at key nodes. Compromise Gou'an is the most comfortable and prudent strategy, and it is the easiest to become the first choice in the temple, which is the case in the Great Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhu Qiming seemed to understand the good intentions of the imperial grandmother, and began to face the future mission in his heart: Daming must avoid repeating the mistakes of the Song Dynasty!

After deciding on this, Zhu Qiming put his mind back on Ni Niang. The major events revealed by Ni Niang in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that even Fang Zheng does not know, but Jinyun Pavilion can know it well, Jinyun Pavilion has this ability, they must rely on the building near the water!

"Jinyun Pavilion builds bridges for people, there must be a price to discuss." At this moment, Zhu Qiming's interest in Jinyun Pavilion is comparable to Yun Niang and Ni Niang's interest in him, so he used Ni Niang's "bridge theory" as a guide to find out more inside information.

"Jinyun Pavilion's financial road is very prone to trouble, and Ni Niang's sisters are like duckweed, with nothing to rely on, maybe one day they will become outcasts, become scapegoats, and affect their families. It would be good if there were nobles to protect each other, for example, a person like King Wei, with a little effort, why should Ni Niang worry about the future! Ni Niang is doing a good deed now and forming a good fate, maybe she will receive unexpected rewards in the future. Ni Niang didn't seem to want to pretend anymore, and her tone was sincere, mixed with a hint of sadness.

I see! Zhu Qiming had an epiphany in his heart. Also, the backstage of Jinyun Pavilion seems to be able to reach the sky, once the incident in the east window of Jinyun Pavilion occurs, the scapegoat it throws out may only be saved by the prince.

And Ni Niang and they didn't have the opportunity to get acquainted with the prince, and now they are in the north, if the "son" they happened to meet was a prince and saved him, then they left a great favor to Yuefu and Weifu, and they would naturally be able to become guests of honor in the two palaces in the future.

It's an extremely rewarding investment!

However, such a statement is not credible. Besides, she knew that there were brocade guards in this seat to protect her, so why bother? Could it be that Ni Niang doubts Jinyiwei's ability?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiming moved the idea of finding Fang Zheng to inquire about the inside of Jinyun Pavilion.

"You have a deep friendship with Lord Fang?"

Ni Niang glanced outside the door and said indifferently: "I have been friends for many years, otherwise, how can Ni Niang come to serve my son?" Thanks to Lord Fang's compatibility, Ni Niang finally figured out the details of her son. However, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and friendship is also face-to-face friendship. Lord Fang has been away from Beijing for more than two years, and now it has become a little incomprehensible. ”

What does this mean? Zhu Qiming was shocked, could it be that Fangzheng and Ni Niang, or Jinyiwei and Jinyun Pavilion have a lot to do with it, but they keep their distance?

Seeing Zhu Qiming's indifferent expression, Ni Niang hurriedly said: "Jin Yiwei really kept the integrity of the son?" Childe ······"

At this time, Fang Zheng walked in quickly, calmly and a little anxious.

"Childe, there are strangers watching nearby, and their movements are very suspicious, and the Jinyi guard needs to enter the guard to guard in case of accidents."

Zhu Qiming was slightly surprised, when he encountered a warning signal, he mobilized manpower to guard the periphery a few times, why bother to enter the guard! He and Ni Niang are talking about the important point, and the secret of Jinyun Pavilion may be revealed for a point or two, but it is a pity that Jinyi Wei inadvertently disturbed the situation at this moment. And the game is quite interesting, so it ended hastily, it's really disappointing!

With the arrival of a team of brocade guards, Ni Niang was invited out of the dining room, and on the way, she looked back, and her mysterious gaze seemed to touch a certain nerve of Zhu Qiming.

His heart fluttered faintly.
