Chapter 361 Trivia

For Zhou Pei, to a certain extent, that may be the memory she is least willing to bring up and recall in the future.At the age of 15, he went to Beijing to escape from marriage, trying to achieve a good story in the future. Things are good, but he did not expect to encounter such a big setback at the beginning.Originally hiding in the box, thinking about whether to make a sound or not, by the time he made a decision, it was already too late.

Leaving the Yangtze River from the pier in Jiangning, the river was bumpy along the way, and Zhou Pei was locked in the big box without a trace of light. For her who has always been pampered, the fear in her heart can no longer be added.But even if she knocked on the wall of the wooden box desperately, the sound that could be transmitted was very small.There were heavy objects in the box next to it, but it had already leaned against it due to the bumps along the way.She realized that calling for help would not work, but she still had a dagger on her body, and then she began to cut the box wall while crying, but after cutting for a long time, she only made a small cut.In fact, if it wasn't for this small opening to speed up the ventilation, she might be suffocated to death in the box in a short time.

The time after that was a complete nightmare.Darkness, hunger, panic, and fatigue, to Zhou Pei, it was like torture that he had never thought of before. Although the box was quite big, a 15-year-old girl could not fully stretch her body inside.Sweat drenched her clothes, and the knife cut a hole in her hand. She thought she was going to die for a while, but then she reflected the most embarrassing desire to urinate...

She didn't know how much time she spent in that big box. When she was conscious, she would knock on the wall of the box, sometimes kick it with her legs, and sometimes scratch it with her fingers.Sometimes I think "I'm going to die, I'm going to die", and sometimes I think it's better to die, and the breath and time in the box gradually become strange.In a daze, she felt like the demon locked in a bottle that the teacher said before, wondering how she would be discovered.

Sometimes I think that if someone can rescue her, she will love him for the rest of her life, and repay him well, that is, he will do to herself.Thinking of being ashamed, he curled up, felt a warm current flow from between his legs, and cried painfully against the box wall.

Sometimes I think of the teachings at home. She is a princess, she has the blood of the imperial family, and she has the dignity of the royal family. Although she can't see her appearance in the dark, she can also imagine that she must be in a mess now. If If someone saw him, the first thing he would think of would be to kill someone.

A heart is like this dangling back and forth between the promise of the body and the killing of the mouth. In a daze, I had many dreams. I dreamed that I was married, but later I killed my husband. Sometimes it was the royal order. Yes, sometimes she did it herself, no matter which time it was, she cried.Sometimes I think of the teacher, she has always admired the teacher's poems and talents, but the teacher probably doesn't know.In fact, she wanted to say it several times, and she always wanted the teacher to see her extraordinaryness. She is a little princess praised by many people. Many people like it and come to propose marriage.She wanted to show her noble and elegant side in front of the teacher, but the teacher didn't seem to be amazed. In the circle she lived in, she was obviously admired by so many people...

After all, everyone is not in the same circle, Ning Liheng is too strange, he is not in any circle, and then he felt like a teacher in his dream, thinking... After he died, she was so sad...

In such chaotic fantasies and dreams, the time seems to have passed for several days, and the consciousness has actually become more and more blurred, and it is difficult to become a clue.When the first ray of light finally appeared in front of her eyes and she saw Ning Yi's appearance, she still felt that it was a dream, but between reality and the dream, that figure made her feel a little peaceful, and she finally fell asleep exhausted up...

There was not too much turbulence, and the ship broke through the waves.

Ning Yi stood on the side of the ship at the back of the big ship and looked at the scenery. In the summer evening, the scenery on both sides of the river went away with the boat, and occasionally pedestrians passed by in the picture.It was already the third day after the departure, and we went north to enter the channel of the Grand Canal. The weather was clear and the sunset was very good. Several large ships sailed through the waves, which made us feel refreshed.

On the other hand, the room where he originally lived has now been taken by Zhou Pei.According to later generations, the 15-year-old princess is in a period of rebellion. Ning Yi is unwilling to participate in her weird and tangled thoughts. They weren't close to each other, so he didn't need to be too considerate to such a little girl.

When the little princess was taken out of the box, the girl who had been imprisoned for a day and a night was indeed in an extremely bleak state, perhaps it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was in a dying state.A person has been locked in such an environment for such a long time, and many adults may not be able to support it, let alone a little girl. After waking up yesterday afternoon, she curled up on the bed and kept silent, looking more energetic I don't know how much thinner I have become, and I guess there is already a shadow in my heart, and it is difficult to recover for a while.

As a responsible parent, I'm afraid it would be better to send her back to Jiangning at this time, but Ning Yi chose not to help each other.I wrote a letter and sent it back to Kang Xian with a flying pigeon, and the room was simply given to a girl who was traumatized and unwilling to move, so as not to become a big villain in her eyes.

Now there are not many people who know that the little princess is on the boat, except for him and the steward who guarded the door yesterday, only Xiao Chan.It's just that although Xiaochan has no problem taking care of others, she can't do anything about the psychological trauma suffered by the girl. When it's time to eat, Ning Yi still has to bring hot porridge in.Perhaps it was because of being locked up in the dark for too long, even after seeing Ning Yi, the girl sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms and her expression was still a bit complicated, like fear or fear, but if it was Xiao Chan, she was close to the other party There was no positive reaction, or she simply shrank to the corner of the bed with the quilt in her arms.

After being rescued from the box by Ning Yi, Ning Yi first asked Xiaochan to bathe and change Zhou Pei and bandage the wound.At that time, she was still in a coma, and she was at the mercy of Xiao Chan.After waking up, it was no longer like that. She was wearing the unlined clothes Xiaochan brought on the road on the bed. Even though it was Xiaochan's most beautiful dress, it looked a bit shabby on Zhou Pei's body. Her fingers were wrapped with bandages. The wound, a head of long hair that had been well maintained also fell down, and she looked very thin and small when she sat on the bed, which was a bit pitiful.

Ning Yi sat by the bed and gave her porridge and rice with a spoon.

"...The ship has passed Yangzhou and is not on the Yangtze River, so it will not be so bumpy. It is getting late now, and it will probably dock near Huai'an at night. Many people on board will go to live in the city. You can consider Take a moment. The news about you on the boat has not been made public yet, but it’s not a big deal, if you feel better, go out for a walk, the scenery on the boat is not bad.”

As he said this, he stretched out the spoon, and Zhou Pei ate for a while, then retracted slightly, hugging the quilt and bowing his head.Ning Yi said: "However, the news has been sent back to your Grandpa Kang through Feige. Think about it for yourself. Of course, it is best to go back. You are a royal family. Fortunately, you are fine. If things happen When it gets too big, no one can handle it, and Liu Guanshi, who is with the boat, is almost scared to death by you."

Ning Yi said a few words, and Zhou Peicai moved a little over there, aggrieved, and said softly: "Teacher...do you find it troublesome?"

She asked like this, if ordinary people would answer that it is not troublesome, but Ning Yi nodded: "It is indeed a bit troublesome, but now you should take care of your body first... Take it here."

After feeding the porridge, Ning Yi changed the medicine and bandages on her fingers. Zhou Pei's fingers were slender and white, stretched there, occasionally touched, trembling slightly, and perhaps her fingertips still felt pain.

"Next time, I will let Xiaochan change it for you. You have seen her before. Now she is my wife, and she can be regarded as your mistress. Your status is too high, and she is under some pressure. Don't scare her."

In fact, it is Zhou Pei who is traumatized now, but she is well-bred after all. After Ning Yi said this, even if she resists other people, at least she has to show her closeness to Xiaochan.But she heard her whispering over there: "Isn't Xiao Chan the teacher's concubine..."

"The concubine's room is the wife." Ning Yi replied.

"No, I haven't heard anyone say that..."

"My family's rules." Ning Yi smiled, seeing that she had started to speak, and said again, "By the way, what does that Zhuo Yunfeng have to do with you?"

"Zhuo, Zhuo Yunfeng?" Zhou Pei probably thought for a while before reacting, "He...it doesn't matter..." I don't understand why Ning Yi suddenly asked this.

"I think he has a good conversation, and he is also very talented. Seeing him talk, he is quite familiar with you..."

"Teacher, have you... met him?" Zhou Pei raised his head slightly, then lowered his head, and said softly, "Oh... He, he asked someone to find the teacher?"

"He's on the boat."

"Ah?" Zhou Pei was taken aback by this, and she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, only to hear Ning Yi say: "It seems that he has a good impression of you, and he probably already told your family Proposed a kiss over there..."

Zhou Pei shook his head quickly, and then said: "He...he is the son of the Chaoyang county lord. Aunt Chaoyang was originally married to a commander, and then the commander Zhuo committed a crime, and the family fortune fell. Because Regarding Aunt Chaoyang's relationship, the higher authorities did not condescend too much. Zhuo Yunfeng... is quite smart. He was sent by Aunt Chaoyang when he was a child, and he became a teacher with me. So I know him well..."

She was thinking about this matter in her heart, but there were many things on her mind that she did not express.Among the various young people around Zhou Pei, Zhuo Yunfeng was considered to be an outstanding one, and they had some friendship with each other, but they didn't go into the relationship between men and women.Although the two families are both royal families, their blood has been separated for several generations. After news of Zhou Pei’s selection of the county horse came out, the Zhuo family sent someone to propose a marriage. Zhou Pei declined as usual, and Zhuo Yunfeng is also a proud person. , and it was never mentioned before or after that.

It's just that since Zhou Pei also appreciates his talent, they are naturally closer to each other than ordinary people. Regarding her admiration for Ning Yi's talents, she sometimes inevitably expresses it in her words and deeds. Zhuo Yunfeng should know it, but I don't know how much he said to the teacher.

In the past, she often showed dissatisfaction with Ning Yi. If Ning Yi knew about it at this time, she would naturally be ashamed.Although she was already extremely humiliated when he carried her out of the box before she wanted to come——she lay on the bed this day, thinking over and over again how she was carried out at that time. In my imagination, it was an even more embarrassing scene than being stripped naked, so that she sometimes wanted to cry, and sometimes wanted to hide and see no one - but at this time, she still couldn't help but feel uneasy. Fortunately, Ning Yi listened to her Having said that, he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After a few words with Zhou Pei, Ning Yi felt relieved when she saw that her condition had improved.When I went out with the bowls and chopsticks, I saw Zhuo Yunfeng and several other people coming from the side of the cabin, came to say hello, looked at the tray in Ning Yi's hand, and said: "Mr. Ning, clean up after eating. Is it?" Ning Yi smiled: "It's just easy."

Most of the people who are with Zhuo Yunfeng are the children of the rich and powerful in the Jiangning area. Ning Yi doesn't know each other, so he doesn't greet them.When he left, Zhuo Yunfeng glanced at the room thoughtfully, and walked away while talking with everyone. What they were talking about was Ning Yi's identity, and someone said: "I live here , Could it be Mr. Accountant?"

"Looking at Yunfeng's attitude, he seems to be someone's aide. He may be accompanying him to Beijing."

Zhuo Yunfeng said: "He is Ning Liheng."

Everyone has heard this name before: "So he is our number one talent?" In the words, they were not too surprised, and then someone said: "The teacher of the princess?"

At this time, there was naturally someone who was quite familiar with Zhuo Yunfeng, and when he got to the corner ahead, he asked in a low voice: "Didn't Yunfeng want to marry that little princess before, why did he suddenly want to go to Beijing again this time..." Zhuo Yunfeng Looking back, he just frowned and shook his head in silence.

As they drifted away, their voices became unclear. Among them, apart from Zhuo Yunfeng, of course there was also someone who knew Zhou Pei.But when they walked over, Zhou Pei was lying on the bed in the inner room, biting his fingers lightly, thinking about his small and chaotic thoughts, and didn't listen carefully to the little noise outside.

In a room not far from here, Su Wenyu, who was accompanying him, was lying pale on the bed. He had suffered from seasickness for the past few days.On the outer side of the ship, Ning Yi greeted Wenren Buer who was walking.On a big boat at the rear, Yunzhu and Jin'er sat by the window looking at the scenery outside, and whispered to each other. There were strangers on board, and since they were women, they didn't go out very much since they moved in.The setting sun was red, shining on the rolling river below, carrying everyone's thoughts, and arrived at Xuyi, the county town near Huai'an, on this night.

Huai'an is the junction of the Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Although Xuyi is not as prosperous as Huai'an, many people on the boat still go to the city to have fun at night.However, in the middle of the night, a few servants came back in embarrassment, saying that it was a young master who had quarreled with someone in the brothel in the county seat, and was then robbed...
