023 To each according to his needs
Day by day, Wang Lanping sat outside Du Ningning's room, holding the sword, his eyes stared at the red of the sky on the wall, his heart was a little helpless, the old lady was nowhere to be found, Yun Niang didn't know if he was with her, Du Ningning is now his only spiritual sustenance, he really wants to take Ning Ning with him, but he can't be so selfish, there are wars everywhere outside the city, life and death are unpredictable, whether it is safe in the city or safe in Nanjing, he himself is not sure.
The chat between the two lasted from noon to sunset, reminiscing about the past, and feeling the mood when they talked about marriage that night, but did not talk about the future.
Du Ningning in the house kept a rare silence for a long time, because Wang Lanping said that he was leaving Huaining, where to go, how long to go, when to come back, and whether he would come back, he didn't say anything, but it was certain that he would leave.
It was not early, Wang Lanping stood up, took a deep breath, pretended to be very chic, comforting himself while comforting Ning Ning, and at the same time saying the same thing for the eighteenth time, "Miss, I'm leaving, take care, I'm really going this time" After saying that, he turned his head and was about to leave.
Ning Ning in the house didn't make trouble, but there was a soft sobbing, Wang Lanping, who had just walked a few steps, stopped again, I have known her for so many years, how have I ever seen this eldest lady who never knew what sadness was, maybe this time it was really sad, in this chaotic years, maybe a separation can become a farewell.
Wang Lanping was ruthless, after all, he didn't look back, and just after leaving the small courtyard gate, he happened to see Du Ming running in in a hurry.
When Du Ming heard that Wang Lanping was coming to the house, he couldn't wait to beat Steward Du violently, he really didn't have a long brain, when was this, the Dashun army was about to enter the city, and he dared to get involved with the rebels in the city, how could he say it in the future.
"You, what are you doing here?" Du Ming was followed by a dozen or so guards with sticks in their hands, maybe he thought that if this kid didn't leave him, he would let people rush him, anyway, at this time, the identity of a champion of the former dynasty was not as good as a small people in the market, and as soon as the Shun army entered the city, all the former Ming officials became rats crossing the street, whether they could save their lives or not.
Wang Lanping looked at Du Ming and the nursing home he brought, most of these people were begging for a living in the Du family with him back then, and everyone knew themselves, and they didn't dare to step forward to be rude.
"I'll come to see Ning Ning" Wang Lanping was still very polite, not because of Du Ming's tough tone, but just because he was Ning Ning's father.
Du Ming pointed his hand in the direction of the gate of the Du family, "Ning Ning has nothing to do with you, you go quickly, the Du family does not welcome you" In fact, he said this to the people around him, which means that they have all listened well, and in the future, when the Dashun army enters the city and spreads my words, Du Fu has nothing to do with the Ming army participating in the resistance.
Threats must be a bad way of communicating, no man can accept it, Wang Lanping didn't want to make more trouble, how to be competitive and competitive, he would be blamed, "Du Yuanwai, why be so snobbish, I, Wang Lanping, asked myself, there is no place to live with your Du family, are you turning your face too fast?" ”
Du Ming didn't want to talk nonsense, turned around, put his hands behind his back, "Time has passed, there is nothing to say, the Du family does not welcome you"
Wang Lan smiled calmly, Xu is Du Ming already knew the news that the Ming army was going to withdraw, and Huaining City was about to change the dynasty, so he had the courage to talk to himself like this, and everyone turned their faces and didn't recognize people, so he didn't need to care about anything.
Wang Lanping said, "Where do I want to go, do I need to care about what others think? Outside, I would like to advise you, you are also a person who has been in the business world for many years, and you know the truth of ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, the Ming Dynasty has declined, and you don't expect the Dashun Dynasty to be any better, I really didn't expect that you almost became my father-in-law."
Du Ming's face was shocked, "You, have you seen Ning Ning?" ”
Wang Lanping said, "I've seen it, I wanted to take her away"
Du Ming pointed at Wang Lanping and was angry, "You dare!" ”
Wang Lanping stretched out his hand to remove Du Ming's hand, and said with a cold smile, "Don't say this, there is nothing in this world that I dare not do, but I don't want Ning Ning to follow me and be afraid, if you want to take her away, you can do it at any time, as long as I want to"
"You, you!" Du Ming was annoyed and angry, and glanced at the more than ten nursing homes behind him, "Send off, send me off"
This is the attitude of sending off guests, and it is clear that it is going to drive people away.
More than a dozen nursing homes are looking at each other, if you want to do it, don't dare, don't want to do it, you will lose your job.
Wang Lanping smiled contemptuously, "Don't be embarrassed for them, don't be polite, I'll leave now, I hope that the change of dynasty will not delay your Du family to make a fortune, oh yes, the 80,000 taels of silver, I'll come back and give it back to you when it's empty" He waved his hand at the guards in front of him.
Everyone immediately flashed out of the way, for fear that the Lord would walk slowly.
Looking at Wang Lanping's back walking away, Du Ming spat out in disgust, "It's better to die outside, never come back" After speaking, he pointed to the guards around him and scolded, "You, what are you looking at, a group of rice buckets, useless things, eating my Du family's food for nothing, what are you doing here, go, go around the house, don't let those refugees come in and steal my things, lose one, I can't afford to sell you, get out!" ”
Du Ming is proud now, since there are notices posted in the city, saying that the Dashun army is going to enter the city, then he will save himself from secretly going out of the city to fornicate with the Shun army, and he will not be finished by preparing silver to meet people, and he will not believe it, and he can't buy back peace with piles of silver.
Du Ming came to his daughter's room, knocked on the door and said, "Ning Ning, it's Dad, tell you, Wang Lanping, who kept saying that he wants to marry you, can't stay in the city anymore, and is leaving, from now on, this world is the world of the Dashun Dynasty, Dad knows that you are willful for a while, and you can't think about it, but Dad is for your good, ah, do you know, the Du family is a century-old Wang family, and it can't be destroyed in the hands of Dad, if you want to keep a family business in troubled times, it is not easy, you also have to understand Dad's difficulties, think more about the future of the Du family, and now this Dashun Dynasty is newly established, Waiting for the new, there are many heroes, rest assured, Dad will definitely find you a good husband and give Du Jia's face, ah, haha, Ningning? Girl? ”
Du Ming felt that something was wrong, if he said this, then this girl would have already made a fuss, so quiet, something was wrong, not good!
"Hurry, come on, come on, Lao Du" Du Ming shouted, isn't it that his daughter can't think of looking for a short time for a while, this stupid child!
Steward Du led a large group of old mothers to rush in.
"What are you doing in a daze, open the door" Du Ming was anxious, after all, the father and daughter are still father and daughter, no matter how much trouble they make, this family affection is still there.
Steward Du hurriedly took out the key and opened the door.
Du Ming pushed open the door and rushed in, "Ning Ning, Ning Ning, don't scare your father, you can't do stupid things, Ning Ning"
But the strange thing is that in addition to the mess in the house, there is no shadow of Ning Ning.
At this moment, a petite figure took advantage of the unpreparedness, quietly bypassed the crowd, and slipped out of the door.
"Master, eldest lady" is fortunately sharp-eyed.
"This girl, hurry, stop her quickly, scare me into a cold sweat" Du Ming ran out with him.
In addition to a lot of money in Du Mansion, there are also many people, Du Ningning is rushing left and right, and he caught a few games of eagles and chickens with everyone, but he was stopped by everyone.
"Let go of me, let me go, let me out" Du Ningning was struggling desperately, it seemed that her father's sincere words did not work for her at all.
Du Ming gasped and said, "Ning Ning, what are you doing here?"
"I'm going to find him, I'm going to go with him, I'm already her person, in this life, I'm born a member of the Wang family, and I'm a dead person of the Wang family," Du Ningning came casually, daring to say anything.
But others didn't dare to listen, so they lowered their heads one by one and pretended not to hear anything.
"What nonsense are you talking about, a girl's family, you can say this casually, you are the eldest lady of my Du family, you haven't been out of the cabinet yet, you guys, don't go out and shout, do you hear, lock the eldest lady in the house for me, add two more locks, and send a few people outside the house to watch" Du Ming is really angry, why did he raise such a daughter.
"I don't, I'm going to go out, let go, let go of me, it was you who agreed to marry Brother Lan Ping"
Du Ming flicked his sleeves, "It was the beginning, now it is now, he was still the champion at the beginning, and now, the Ming Dynasty is gone, you said that you married him, Mrs. Ming Champion, isn't that a disaster for the Du family?"
Du Ningning grabbed the door with his hand, but he didn't go in, "Then you let me go to him, I'll go with him, I won't bother you"
"Whimsical, I haven't eaten, pull in, tap and tap, don't hurt her, a bunch of useless things, show me good, I'll kill you if you run her" Du Ming left angrily, he had to hurry up to raise money, and he had to send the silver to Dashun Jun before everyone else.
The last rays of sunlight disappeared on the horizon, and as night fell, piles of bonfires rose in the Dashun military camp outside the city.
Wang Lanping and Zheng Sen stood at the head of the city.
Zheng Sen said, "General, will they really send horses?" ”
Wang Lanping nodded affirmatively, "Yes!" He still has this self-confidence, Li Laixiang wants Huaining City, and he may be thinking about how to kill himself, but this thing is not worth mentioning to him.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw two flames slowly drifting out of the military camp in the hazy distance, heading towards the city gate.
Zheng Sen pointed, "It's coming, it's coming"
Wang Lanping nodded, then waved his hand, and Song Dali gave an order, "Ignite!" ”
Suddenly, the torches at the head of the city rose, facing the night wind, whirring, the torches were lined up, all over the city wall, the sergeants of the wind battalion were neatly arranged, the fire shone on the swords and guns, the cold light was shining, this was to warn the other party, don't play tricks, there are preparations here.
