Chapter 17 Rafting and Talking

In fact, after Yang Shiqi read Li Yuntian's recital, he knew that Emperor Yongle would definitely not blame Li Yuntian, he was very clear about Emperor Yongle's temperament, because it was through guò "Jingnan" to rely on the throne of the generals, so Emperor Yongle has always emphasized military force and light literature, Li Yuntian is a civil official, but he has the courage to put pen to paper, which is enough to make Emperor Yongle appreciate. dm

In addition, Li Yuntian has only been in charge of Hukou County for less than three months, how can he blame him for all the crimes?

That's why he laughed in the study of Wenyuan Pavilion, feeling that the person who could write such an article was definitely not an idle person, and he had already become interested in Li Yuntian invisibly.

At the beginning of December, there was a heavy snowfall in Jiangxi, and it was white as far as the eye could see, and the world became a world of pink makeup and jade.

Early in the morning, Li Yuntian led Luo Ming and others to the wharf to visit the victims, whose houses had been rebuilt three days before the heavy snowfall, and all the victims who lost their homes in the fire moved into new houses.

Seeing Li Yuntian coming, the people in the new house came out to greet him one after another, and they were very respectful to him.

Everyone has seen it really well during this time, if it weren't for the county magistrate directing the reconstruction work in Baishui Town, how could they have moved into the new house so quickly.

Li Yuntian checked and found that the food, clothes and mattresses and other items in the victims' homes were sufficient, enough to survive this winter safely.

At noon, he came to the dock, stood on the shore and looked at the deserted river surface of Poyang Lake in a daze, calculating the time, the result of the capital's treatment of him should be about to come down.

I don't know why, for a while, his heart was at a loss, and he didn't know what Emperor Yongle would do with him.

"My lord, I am so Yaxing, enjoy the lake view here." Just as he was deep in thought, a crisp voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Miss Chen?" Li Yuntian felt that the voice was vaguely familiar, turned his head to look, and looked at Chen Ningning who was standing aside smiling in surprise.

"My lord, the little girl has learned a few new tunes, I don't know if the adults can listen to them." Chen Ningning was draped in a red coat, her cheeks were a little red from the cold, and she stood there slimly, with a charming taste, looking at him with a smile.

"Miss's piano skills are superb, and it is an honor for me to listen to Miss strokes the piano." Li Yuntian felt very strange, in his impression that Chen Ningning had always been very cold to him, so he smiled quietly, wanting to see what her intentions were.

"My lord, the little woman is preparing some food and drinks in the boat." Chen Ningning saw that Li Yuntian agreed, and made a gesture of please sideways.

Li Yuntian saw a small boat parked on the shore, got up and followed Chen Ningning onto the boat, there was a long table, a square table and two stoves in the cabin.

There was a guzheng on the long table, two sets of utensils were placed on the square table, one of the two stoves was stewed with hot pot, the other was warm with wine, and a maid in green clothes stood aside.

"You're waiting here." Due to the limited space in the cabin, Li Yuntian ordered Luo Ming, who was following behind him, after getting on the boat.

"My lord......" Luo Ming looked embarrassed, wanting to say something.

"That's all." Li Yuntian raised his hand to interrupt his words, and bent down into the cabin.

Under the gaze of Luo Ming and others, the boat slowly left the dock and headed towards the depths of the lake.

The lake is empty, it is freezing at this time, and it is not the cargo season, and few boats come out.

Suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano sounded on the silent lake.

Chen Ningning was concentrating on stroking the piano in the cabin, and it was the first time for Li Yuntian to see her so serious, listening intently while drinking wine.

"My lord, this little woman of wine respects you for those disaster victims, so that they can avoid the pain of sleeping in the wind." After playing three songs in a row, Chen Ningning got up and left the long table, sat down next to the square table, sat face to face with Li Yuntian, poured a glass of wine and saluted Li Yuntian, and said in a coquettish voice.

"This is the duty of this officer." Li Yuntian smiled, touched a cup with Chen Ningning, and the two drank it all.

"My lord, this little woman of wine respects you for the people who have been forcibly recruited by the Inspection Division, so that they can go back to reunite with their families." Chen Ningning then poured a second glass of wine and raised it again at Li Yuntian.

"The old, young, sick and disabled should be exempted from forced labor, but the official has only corrected a mistake." Li Yuntian shook his head disappreciatively and drank the second cup with Chen Ningning.

"This third cup, the little woman respects you for her father, if it weren't for her father to leave the adults at home, Whitewater Town would not have suffered this catastrophe, and the adults would not have been so passive." Chen Ningning poured another glass of wine, bit her lip, and said to Li Yuntian with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Miss's words are wrong, the water bandits are ferocious, and they have nothing to do with Gong Chen." Li Yuntian was slightly stunned, feeling that Chen Ningning had something to say, as if he already knew that the matter of the water bandits was related to Zhang Youde, he didn't know whether this was Chen Ningning's meaning or Chen Bozhao's meaning, so he smiled and said quietly.

Chen Ningning's eyes flashed a complicated look, the corners of his mouth squirmed a few times without speaking, and after clinking glasses with Li Yuntian, he silently drank the liquor in the cup, looking preoccupied.

"Miss Chen, the official also toasts you, there has been a lot of disturbance in those days, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to listen to the sound of the piano next time." After Li Yuntian finished drinking, he poured a glass of wine, picked it up and smiled at Chen Ningning.

He is now a guilty person, not only the people in the government, but even ordinary people also know about his responsibility, and this time he will undoubtedly be punished by the imperial court.

Don't look at him now, he is still the magistrate of Hukou County, and when the letter of inquiry from the capital comes, he will immediately become a prisoner under the ranks.

"My lord, as long as you want, the little girl can play the piano for the adult these days." Chen Ningning knew that Li Yuntian's current situation was very difficult, otherwise Chen Bozhao would not let her go to her grandmother's house, seeing that Li Yuntian was a little sad, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, and smiled at him.

"Miss's kindness is understood." Li Yuntian laughed, touched the wine glass with Chen Ningning, and drank it all, with his current situation, it was better to have less contact with Chen Ningning, so as not to let her be contaminated.

Chen Ningning understood why Li Yuntian refused, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, and drank the wine in the cup with trepidation, feeling that the taste was a little bitter.

"I've listened to the tune, I've drunk the wine, it's time to go back." Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Li Yuntian smiled and said to Chen Ningning, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, so why should he delay time here.

"The little girl will play a few more songs for the adults." Chen Ningning smiled, got up and sat back in front of the guzheng, and played a cheerful tune, but there was a smell of sadness in it.

Li Yuntian was sipping wine while shaking his head and listening to the tune, which looked very leisurely on the surface, but there were many thoughts in his mind.

He felt that Chen Ningning's reaction today was very strange, and his attitude towards him was completely different from before, could it be that Chen Bozhao designed some kind of trap? Still is...... Or is she interesting to herself?

After thinking about it, Li Yuntian felt that the second possibility was bigger, because now Chen Bozhao definitely didn't want to have anything to do with him, how could he let Chen Ningning see him?

Besides, Chen Ning is proud of her talents, and she is not the kind of obedient girl, so she can't hide her disgust for herself at all.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ningning a little depressed, he didn't know what Chen Ningning thought in his heart, he ignored himself when he was in high spirits, and when he was in trouble, he showed such care, could it be that women are born to sympathize with the weak?

Unconsciously, the boat came to the dock, Luo Ming and others were drinking in a house on the shore, and when they saw the boat coming, they hurriedly greeted it.

"Miss Chen, the official will leave for the county office tomorrow, thanks to the hospitality of the lady today, the official wrote a lyric for the lady, and I hope the lady likes it." After going ashore, Li Yuntian smiled and said to Chen Ningning that the post-disaster reconstruction of Baishui Town had been completed, and it was time for him to leave.

"The little woman listened." Chen Ningning didn't expect Li Yuntian to leave so soon, her expression darkened, and she smiled casually.

"If life stops as it first sees, what is the autumn wind and sad fan. Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable! Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain and zero bells did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the day of the wings! ”

Li Yuntian glanced at Chen Ningning, turned his head to look at the vast lake on the side, and chanted a poem "Mulan Ci" by Nalan Xingde in a slow and slightly desolate tone, he had forgotten what the specific name of the word was, but remembered that this poem was very famous and highly respected by young people.

"If life stops as it first sees, what is the autumn wind and sad fan!" Chen Ningning's body trembled slightly, and his expression was complicated, he was a little stupid for a while, and savored it in his mouth, these two sentences can be called the finishing touch, exhausting the sadness and helplessness of the emotions of men and women in the world, and the grievances and sorrows.

From this poem, Chen Ningning clearly felt Li Yuntian's deep friendship for her, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the two met for the first time in the small courtyard under the moonlit night, and an indescribable warmth surged in her heart.

"Send the young lady home." Li Yuntian saw that Chen Ningning was a little distracted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, it seemed that this poem really moved her, and she walked away after commanding Luo Ming.

Luo Ming left two people to escort Chen Ningning, and led the rest of the people to chase after Li Yuntian quickly.

Chen Ningning bit her lip and looked at Li Yuntian's back, with mixed feelings in her heart, Li Yuntian was not only dignified but also a new science and technology scholar, how could she not please the girl, but Chen Bozhao asked her to seduce Li Yuntian, which made her have a feeling of resistance to Li Yuntian in her heart.

What's more, she also wants to be married by her husband Jun Ming Media in a beautiful way in the future, and she doesn't want to be a concubine for Li Yuntian, so she won't give Li Yuntian a good look.

Originally, Chen Ningning hated Li Yuntian who pestered him every day to listen to tunes, but when Li Yuntian was too busy to see her because of the water bandits, she looked forward to him coming.
