After knowing that Zhan Long was going to take his wife and them back to the mansion in Jiangnan, Ning Yue secretly bid him farewell. The mother and son finally reunited, and they didn't want to stay for a long time so as not to disturb their family fun, since they were different, they simply said goodbye, so that the big boss didn't have to leave home for a while in order to send him to see the smile. What a blessing it is to be able to fulfill her filial piety in her mother's own side, she knows that she has no such blessing in this life, and she hopes that he will not have such regrets as herself. But the war dragon did not agree.

"The road ahead is vast, how can you protect yourself if you don't know martial arts?" The war dragon stood in front of her and asked.

Recalling the previous experience of escaping death, Ning Yue still had palpitations. At that time, if it wasn't for the protection of the big boss, I am afraid that I would have died in Jiuquan. What's more, now that he has ten thousand gold, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attract gangsters to covet him, and then seek money and kill him. I thought that I was trapped by the Ning Mansion and lived a desolate life, but I didn't know that the world was sinister, and it was not inferior to the intrigue and conspiracy in the courtyard of the deep house. However, no matter how the people in the Ning Mansion did not treat her, they still had some affection after all, and they would not hurt her life, but the people outside the mansion did not. Just imagine, if Ning Zhenhai allowed the eldest lady to drive her out of the Ning Mansion after her mother's death, maybe she would not be alive today. It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that the Ning Mansion that she couldn't wait to escape from was never a cage for her, on the contrary, it was precisely because of its existence that she would not be left alone on the streets. It's just that she doesn't regret her decision, after all, only by leaving Ning Mansion can she completely let go of her hatred for Ning Zhenhai and live up to her mother's expectations, even if there is no An Ruiqi to accompany her in the future......

Zhan Long saw that her expression was gloomy, and she didn't say a word, it was estimated that she was about to leave Beijing, and she was reluctant, so she slowed down and said, "Don't you want to go and see my silk village?" ”

Hearing this, Ning Yue was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly raised her head and blurted out: "I want to ......"

War Dragon jumped into the carriage with a smile, and before she could think about it, he reached out and carried her to his side. "Sit tight." After saying that, the war dragon raised his whip and drove the horse forward, and the old butler drove another carriage to follow.

The war dragon seems to have deliberately chosen a trail to follow, so most of the sights along the way are inaccessible villages and forests. Although the mountain road is winding and rugged, and the carriage is moving fast, the people sitting in the carriage do not feel the slightest feeling of bump and discomfort, especially the magnificent carriage in the lead, which is stable and self-sufficient, and can enjoy the tranquility filled with a faint fragrance by lowering its curtains. The intentions and carefulness of the car maker can be seen from this.

All the way went smoothly. A few days later, when the four of them arrived at the Jiangnan mansion, it was already evening, and the sky was dark, but the doorkeeper still recognized his master's carriage at a glance. After Mrs. Fu got out of the car, Zhan Long sent back the servants who came forward to greet him, and personally led the three of them. Ning Yue looked around for the familiar scenery in the mansion as she walked, and she was a little happy at ease. According to Zhan Long, Madame and the old butler were here for the first time, but in comparison, Madame seemed to be more familiar with the layout of the house than she was. Where the corridor leads, where the living room courtyard is located, Madame can say that the score is not bad, it is really puzzling. It wasn't until Ning Yue inadvertently saw her wife's eyes full of tears, and her face was full of excitement and joy, that she understood, and she felt deeply for a while, and couldn't help but bow her head and weep. This mansion was probably built by the great boss for his wife...... After dinner, the lady ignored the advice of others, and refused to go back to the room to rest after walking all over the mansion. In desperation, Zhan Long had no choice but to order someone to give Ning Yue and the old housekeeper Zhang Luo a place to live, while he followed his wife to listen to the dispatch.

Ning Yue originally thought that he would see Shen Yidao and other brothers from Qingfeng Cottage again, but it backfired. When I asked, I knew that they hadn't been here for a long time. Ning Yue heard the clues in the words of the servants, and pleaded again and again, but one of them told the truth in a hurry. It turned out that a few months ago, the second master had made it clear that the local branches would be under the control of Shen Yidao from now on, and they would have nothing to do with the general village. As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it, and they all said that the owner of the village had a dispute with Shen Yidao, so he cut off his robe and broke his righteousness in anger, and they parted ways. Fortunately, this incident did not cause too much turmoil and unrest, because the shrewd and capable second master chose to stay in the main village, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, this alone can be sure that the foundation of the main village is solid, and it is by no means something that the ten branches can shake. Ning Yue was very sad when she heard this. Although she has not known Shen Yidao for a long time, she knows that he treats Zhan Long like a son and nephew. It would be a pity if the harmony between the two was hurt because of a momentary mood and this rare love was broken. In the days when she was a slave and a maid in Ningfu, she learned to observe words and colors, and be cautious in words and deeds. She is accustomed to living cautiously and humbly, and never dares to say more than half a word, for fear that trouble will come out of her mouth and invite resentment. It's not that she doesn't know that her meddling is bound to upset Zhanlong, but she still decides to persuade her. The worst is to be swept away by him, as long as they can get along, what's not worth it?

That night, Ning Yue slept very peacefully, and when she woke up, it was already hours. After freshening up, she hurried to the side hall to greet her wife, but when she arrived, it was empty except for the war dragon. The war dragon who tied up his hair and changed into a blue brocade robe looked particularly gentle, and under the sunlight, his eyes glowed with pale golden light, which made his well-defined side face more and more refreshing and handsome, which really had the power to capture people's souls, and people couldn't take their eyes off it. I saw him sitting at the dining table, with one hand on his chin, absentmindedly looking at the table full of food, as if waiting for something. Hearing Ning Yue's footsteps, he immediately stood up and smiled lightly.

"Come on." Zhan Long beckoned to Ning Yue, and when she approached, he gently pulled her to his side and asked leisurely, "Let's see if there's anything else you want to eat, I'll let people do it." ”

Facing more than a dozen delicate pastries and a pot of softly boiled eight-treasure porridge in front of him, Ning Yue was speechless in shock. It's so rich, don't say it's Ningfu, I'm afraid it can't even match the breakfast in the palace...... What else can you be dissatisfied with? Thinking of this, Ning Yue shook her head again and again.

Seeing that Ning Yue was slightly restrained, Zhan Long leaned over slightly, and said gently: "It's embarrassing, I still don't know your preferences after a long time, so I have to order someone to prepare according to the flavor of the capital." I'll get you a few recipes for you to refer to, and what dishes you like to eat, just ask the chef Zhang Luo. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yue felt flattered, and hurriedly saluted and thanked Zhan Long: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

Seeing this, Zhan Long's face sank, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Since you are not my guest, how can you say that you are hospitality?" Ning Yue heard the meaning of his words, and didn't know how to respond, so she could only bow her head and remain silent. After half a ring, Zhan Long spoke: "Don't wait, my mother is still resting, let's eat first." After saying that, the two were silent again. After all, the war dragon couldn't bear to let Ning Yue swallow, so he removed the gloom in his eyes and asked calmly: "I plan to inspect the village today, do you want to go along?" ”

Ning Yue's sadness disappeared after hearing this, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I want to go, there is a master of Lao Da to lead the way." ”

In the past, Ning Yue's mother would tell her about what she had seen in the silk village as soon as she was free, although there was no lack of bitterness and hard work, but it did not affect Ning Yue's fascination and love for it at all. Over time, everything she had heard about the Silk Village was so deeply embedded in her heart that she had for a time mistakenly thought that she had lived there. However, when she followed the war dragon into the main village, she suddenly realized that the little fur she knew was at best a peep in the leopard. The village covers an area of about 10 acres, and there are three major workshops of weaving workshop, dyeing workshop and embroidery workshop. According to the second shopkeeper, in several nearby villages, every household raises silkworms, and the silk produced is only for the use of the general village, and dozens of acres of land in the village are also owned by the general village to grow plants to make dyes. In this way, they not only save the cost of purchasing materials from abroad, but also ensure the consistent and unique quality. Even if the output is not much, it does not damage its reputation and customers, so it is no wonder that its profit is more than the sum of the ten branches. Ning Yue, the general manager of the village, was dazzled and dizzy, and on a few occasions she could see that she accidentally bumped into the back of the war dragon, and she burst into tears in pain. So, the war dragon deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with her, secretly protecting her from being hurt again. In Ning Yue's heart, no matter how soft and thin, smooth and delicate the fabric woven by the weaving workshop is, and how bright and dazzling the color of the fabric dyed by the dyeing workshop is, after all, it is still not as exquisite as the embroidery in the embroidery workshop. The embroidery threads arranged from light to dark on the wooden frame are so many colors that it seems that the colors of the world are gathered here. There were many colors that Ning Yue had never seen before, and she really loved it. In particular, the dozens of bundles of gold and silver threads are even more rare. As the first of the three major workshops, the style of the embroidery workshop should not be underestimated. Dozens of embroiderers are in charge of drawing, color matching, and embroidery, while apprentices help thread needles and threads and lay out shelves. In addition to completing hundreds of sets of dresses and robes for sale every month, they can also produce ten pieces of treasure embroidery for dignitaries to bid for. The scene of strangeness and familiarity intertwined made Ning Yue feel in a trance, like falling into a dream. She wanted to take a closer look at all the new things in front of her, but she was afraid that if she stopped, she would suddenly wake up from a dream and miss everything else. Later, when she saw five embroiderers arguing around an embroidery picture about ten feet long, she didn't care about anything else, quietly brought a wooden stool, sat down not far from the embroidery frame, and stared at the embroidery picture motionlessly, looking very focused. Zhan Long couldn't bear to disturb her interest, so he and the second shopkeeper continued to inspect the main village. By the time the two of them returned, it was already noon, but Ning Yue was still sitting there intently watching the embroidery of the embroiderers, not feeling tired at all.

Seeing this, Zhan Long stepped forward slowly, squatted down beside her and whispered: "Mother is waiting for us at home, let's go back today, and I'll accompany you again tomorrow?" ”

Sensing that the embroidery girl and the apprentices beside him were secretly looking at him, covering his mouth and chuckling, Ning Yue immediately understood that they must have misunderstood the words of the war dragon, and couldn't help blushing. Thinking that the big boss is deliberately playing tricks on me, in front of him, I'm afraid I can't argue. Besides, Madame is still waiting for us to go back to dinner, so it is really not good to delay again...... Hengzhu will come again tomorrow, and the explanation is not in a hurry at this time...... Thinking of this, Ning Yue helplessly glanced at the war dragon with a smile on the corner of her mouth, swallowed her qi back into her stomach, and then stood up silently and went home with him.

When Zhan Long went out, the affairs of the mansion and the general village were all taken care of by the second shopkeeper, and now that he has returned to the house, the account books and seals and other things should be returned to him to take charge. Knowing that the war dragon clone lacked skills, his wife called Ning Yue to accompany him to drink tea and chat. The two talked happily, and before they knew it, it was sunset. After dinner, Mrs. went back to the room to rest on the grounds of sleepiness, and before leaving, she did not forget to tell Zhan Long to entertain Ning Yue well. Zhan Long thought for a moment and decided to take Ning Yue to the lake in the courtyard to relax. Ning Yue was worried that he didn't have the opportunity to mention Shen Yidao to Zhan Long, and he didn't want to get this opportunity for no reason, so he agreed.

At the end of winter and the spring solstice, the cold weather is decreasing. The breeze blew away, scattering the reflection of the crescent moon and stirring up ripples. The bright moonlight shatters into a little golden light, floating on the surface of the lake, like a dream, adding a sense of interest to the quiet night. The beautiful scenery of the good day, the moon before the flowers, is intoxicating, but Ning Yue always lowered her head, pursed her mouth, and had no intention of appreciating it.

"But what do you have to say?" War Dragon stopped on the bridge and asked nonchalantly.

"The big boss is wise...... Ning Yue was stunned, and replied: "A few heartfelt words, if there is any offense, please don't blame the big boss......"

Seeing Ning Yue's straight face, as if he had made a great determination, Zhan Long couldn't help laughing. I don't know what she wants to say, but if I don't like it, I'm afraid there is nothing more unpleasant than what she said to him when she was in the cottage. He didn't blame her before, and he naturally won't now. "Please."

"What misunderstanding does the big boss have about Senior Shen?" Without waiting for Zhan Long to answer, Ning Yue clenched his fists and continued: "Fortunately, the big boss is broad-minded, even if Senior Shen really has something wrong, you will definitely not be angry with him, right?" ”

Listening to Ning Yue's words, Zhan Long smiled even deeper: "Then I am such a magnanimous person in your heart?" ”

I didn't want her little thoughts to be seen through by the war dragon at a glance, Ning Yue was ashamed of herself, but at this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so she could only take advantage of the situation. "Of course......" Ning Yue replied softly.

"It's rare for you to appreciate it like this, if I'm still stubborn, I won't know how to lift." After speaking, the war dragon turned to look at Ning Yue, his eyes as soft and clear as a lake. "Thank you for taking me to heart......"

In just a moment, the moonlight became extremely cold, and in the haze, Ning Yue mistook the war dragon for another person. She smiled back, but sadness came from it.
