Wang Ruoyan was also compassionate, and he was not interested, and sighed silently.

Jiang Ning patted Wang Ruoyan on the back: "Su Xiaoxiao, who is hard to see, doesn't know how she will feel when she sees this scene......

Wang Ruoyan didn't feel good in his heart, listening to Jiang Ning's words, he could also feel Jiang Ning's displeasure in his heart.

"Who is this Holy Father? How can it be so powerful? Wang Ruoyan came back to her senses and asked.

Jiang Ning frowned: "In the future...... You'll know that it's better to have less contact anyway, and it's better not to encounter it. ”

The two of them lost interest, so they bought some random things and returned to the ship and set off again, and this time, Jiang Ning did not plan to get off the ship again.

The development of Manichaeism was faster than he imagined, and it took half a year to have traveled from Jinling to Suzhou, and they were able to enter and exit normally, which is enough to show that the government underestimated them, and this underestimation was a bad thing.

According to the speed of the second thousandth, the three prefectures in Jiangnan should have been notified, but there was no action, which made him feel terrible, and he had to reach Jinling as quickly as possible, otherwise once there was a military accident, it would be troublesome on the water.

At Jiang Ning's insistence, He Laosan still set off quickly, and there were many overnight boats, but it was the first time He Laosan like Jiang Ning had encountered him, and he didn't stop on the way except for necessary supplies.

The original happy trip, after Yangzhou, suddenly became nervous, the original ten days of travel, in nine days to arrive in Jinling.

It wasn't until she entered Jinling, although the sky was already dark and the wind was blowing, Wang Ruoyan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw Jiang Ning's smiling face, although she didn't know why, but she always felt that it was related to the brother and sister in Yangzhou, maybe it was compassionate? Or is it touching the scene? These are unknown, along the way, Jiang Ning is either standing at the bow of the boat, or sitting in the hall to drink tea with everyone, although everyone is full of interest, the two sisters are chattering, running around on the boat is not lively, the two cousins are chatting, singing about wine, what is there to ask Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning is explaining with him, but it is a little different from before.

Others can't see it, but Wang Ruoyan feels it really.

Jinling by the ferry, the old and the new alternate on the city wall, the mottled traces on it, you can still see the battle not long ago, the sycamore towers to the sky, and the gold falls all over the ground.

Jiang Ning looked at the ten-zhang high city wall of the East Gate, and the ten-mile Qinhuai joined the canal from the East Gate, and finally arrived at this fascinating Jinling.

In Jinling City, nine streets and eighteen lanes run through the entire ancient city, hundred-year-old trees abound, high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, bluestone paving, Qinhuai crosses, the voice of people is boiling, whether it is a carriage or a building, it is much richer than Hangzhou, Wang Ruoyan and his party got off the boat, the wind has risen, but the ferry has stopped a few carriages, asked, it is the guy who pulls people, a few people got on the boat, and He Laosan settled the fare, and went straight to Jinling City.

The sky slowly darkened, the wind suddenly cooled, and there were already a few thunderous thunders in the distance, and I was afraid that it would rain soon.

In a freight yard in the east of the city, a group of people are busy counting and loading goods, and the ship is parked by the Qinhuai River, which is also three stories high, but it does not look very big in the Qinhuai River.

The river in the middle of the city becomes wider and wider to the east of the city, and where it joins the canal, four cargo ships can pass side by side, which is amazing.

"Hurry up, you bunch of rice buckets, such a little bit of goods, haven't finished moving yet." A crooked-mouthed man with a leather whip in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted loudly.

"The wind is blowing, and there is thunder again, I'm afraid it's going to rain......" A woman stood on the trestle, looking at the huge freight yard in front of her.

Behind him was a son, personable, dressed in white, it was already winter, but he still held a folding fan in his hand and shook it back and forth, stepped forward slowly, and said to the woman in the wrong position by half a body: "It's windy, just have them here, Sister Wan'er, you better go back first, the wind in winter is not ordinary, in case you get caught in the cold, it will be troublesome." ”

The woman didn't look back, as if she hadn't heard the man speak, the man couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said to the surroundings: "You guys also go and urge, why are you so slow?" How long is it going to move? ”

The shopkeepers on the left and right knew the relationship between the two of them, so they didn't say anything, so they went down to the trestle to urge, and some simply started to help them directly.

"Before it rains, it must be fully loaded, the goods inside are afraid of water, and I don't know how much we will lose in this rain." The woman frowned, thinking that it would not be good to sweep his face like this, so she spoke.

"It will be finished, my sister can rest assured." The man shook his fan lightly.

The woman is still not at ease, since she took over the Nangong family business, she did not dare to slack off, although she strategized, but there were a lot of mistakes at the beginning, although the loss was not big, but she always lingered, if you want to do one thing, then you must do it well, there are still a lot of things before the year, a lot of work has reached the end of the stage, after the year is the father's sixtieth birthday, business things will be a little later than in previous years, everything must be considered holistically.

This person next to him is not an outsider, but Zhou Yaohua, a talented son of Jinling, is also a famous person on the Jinshi list, although this Jinshi is suspected by everyone, but no one dares to say it, although the Zhou family is not richer than the Nangong family, but it is also a scholarly family, the ancestor once served in the Ministry of Rites in the court, and there are also many connections with Jinling officialdom, no matter from which point of view, the two are both men and women, and they are extremely matched.

But this is not the case, there are different opinions, in the final analysis, this Zhou Yaohua does not have an official position, and with his family background, the Nangong family is not looking down on it for the time being.

Zhou Yaohua got off the trestle, went to the carriage to get an umbrella, propped it up and stood beside Nangong Wan, but in a moment, the rain was dripping, although the rain was not heavy, hitting the umbrella, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, the exhaled breath met the cold air and turned into a white mist.

"Sister Wan'er, or are you strategizing, will you be able to watch the sky at night? How do you know it's going to rain today? Zhou Yaohua took a hot towel and handed it to Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan took the hot towel, put down the hairpin, three thousand green silk flew like a waterfall, there were only the two of them in the room, Zhou Yaohua took off the cloak on Nangong Wan's body, hung it on the hanger, slowly stepped forward, and gently supported Nangong Wan's waist with his hand.

"What? Didn't you see me wiping my hair? Nangong Wan twisted her body and dodged Zhou Yaohua's hands.

Who knew that Zhou Yaohua pounced on the situation: "Sister Wan'er, what my brother thinks about you is so hard...... I won't see you for a month......"

Nangong Wan was hugged by Zhou Yaohua from behind, but she didn't break free, still wiping her hair, but let Zhou Yaohua's hands roam over her.

Standing at the window, I faintly saw that in the drizzle of the night, four carriages were walking towards the inn on the bluestone, which was particularly eye-catching on the lonely long street.

The carriage stopped in front of the inn, the coachman held up a black umbrella, and a man and a woman walked out of the first carriage, the man had a handsome face, a scholar's appearance, a green shirt, and a cloak on the outside, about eighteen or nineteen years old, the woman was about seventeen, her face was like a peach blossom, and she was delicate, but she revealed a heroic spirit, the woman raised her eyes, and just saw Nangong Wan in front of the window on the third floor.

Nangong Wan hurriedly pushed Zhou Yaohua away, her face changed slightly, but she was shy, dodged the window, and walked towards the door.
