son-in-law

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

On the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the tenth year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, in the grass on the outskirts of Jiangning, a big kite with a cage containing a kitten flew away far away.Xiao Junwu looked at the kite and set his ambition.

It is quite a gratifying thing for a young man to be determined and have a lofty heart. If someone with foresight is here, they may say that this son will become a great weapon in the future.But for Ning Yi, it is gratifying if it succeeds, even if it fails, at least he has found something he can do, and the possibility of failure is actually higher.Just as Watermelon wants "Great Harmony", Junwu also wants "Gewu". He put down the seeds, but he doesn't want to be too persistent unless necessary.

Jun Wu has just developed at this time, and he is still short, talking excitedly with Ning Yi about Gewu.On the other hand, Zhou Pei, who came here together, used to like to preach to his younger brother, but today he is quite quiet, maybe he has seen clearly that if Jun Wu wants to realize his ambition, he must first be a good little prince. The girl has a dignified temperament at this time, Already have a slim feeling.

She doesn't talk much, it is said that Kang Wang's mansion has already determined to find a candidate for the county horse for her, and several young talents from Jiangning are competing for it.I even heard that a few aristocratic talents put up a scene in a certain building. For the news of this little princess's competition in literature and martial arts, it became a good story in Jiangning Mansion within a few days, but Ning Yi was worrying about things at home. I can hear a few scales and half claws, not very clear, but it is quite exciting to think about it.

The cat cage that was carried up into the sky by the kite broke its string not long after, and the kitten must have fallen to his death. On the grass in the outskirts of the city, several servants of King Kang’s Mansion followed the shouting Jun Wu to look for it.Only then did the girl give Ning Yi a blessing: "Teacher, the family has been forced to recruit county horses, what do you think...how is it?"

"The words of the matchmaker, what can I say? You are so smart, you must have an idea in your heart, right?"

Zhou Pei lowered her head: "I thought the teacher would say something different...I'm afraid I can't hide this time."

Ning Yi looked at her with some sympathy: "I also got married like this, and it was not bad later. Everyone has come here like this, not to mention it is difficult to hide, but it is more troublesome to escape. At your current age, Whoever the county horse is, you can choose whatever you want. If you are older, they will pick you, and maybe someone will poke your back. I heard that although the young masters who are equivalent to county horses cannot be said to be from top-notch families, they are of the same level. They're all pretty good, you probably know them more or less, and you can choose them, what else do you want?"

"I, I'm still unwilling." Zhou Pei said softly, "When I was young, I thought that even women can do many things, but later I found out that I can't. I also hope that my brother can become a talent, at least he will be a useful prince in the future. Now he Although I can't help the world and help the people, at least the study of things will be useful in the future, but... But in the end, I am still unwilling. Why can't I do things that men can do. Those who choose county horses , I know, but I do know...all guys with half a bucket of water, all of them...have nothing real."

In fact, whether it is a son-in-law or a county horse, once he enters the royal family, he will have no chance of official career in his life. At this time, young people who really have ideals and ambitions will not choose this path.If those princesses who have never been seen in the palace choose a consort, some people will even avoid it, but Zhou Pei's choice of relatives this time, many young talents in Jiangning City still flock to it, because of her In the past, there were often opportunities to show their faces.The little princess was beautiful since she was a child, but when she was 15 years old, she became more dignified and beautiful. Besides being beautiful, she was educated by Kang Xian, and she was also quite accomplished in classics, history, poetry, calligraphy and painting. A well-known talented woman among Jiangning's younger generation.

In the past, when Ning Yi was in class, the views he said were often thought-provoking, which took advantage of modern people, but if you look at it from an orthodox perspective, I am afraid that Ning Yi's attainments in this area are far inferior to this little princess.That's why, although Ning Yi doesn't get involved in the field of these talented scholars and beautiful ladies, he also knows that after the little princess announced the news of recruiting relatives, there are many young literati who are willing to gamble on their future and win Zhou Pei's favor.As long as he is not the kind of eldest son who needs to inherit the family business, he can be a rich and idle person in the future, and be in harmony with this talented princess, Qin Se, and he will only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.

It's just that they only know the talent and learning of the little princess, but they don't necessarily understand her character.At this time, she whispered, but none of those suitors caught her eyes.Ning Yi shook his head, thinking that this little girl was too ambitious: "Who is not half a bucket of water at the beginning, who is about your age, a teenage child, as long as he has a good heart, he will always turn into a child with a good heart. Big bucket of water. You have learned a lot from Consort Kang, and it is too unfair to judge people by his standards. When Kang Xian was young, he might not be as good as these children."

For this kind of thing, Ning Yi can't persuade too much at this time. If he has a daughter, he will naturally not choose a husband for her at the age of 15.But the matter of the little princess can't be changed at all. She has such a high vision, and maybe she can find a good one right now. Wouldn't it be even more tragic if it was delayed until she was 20 years old?Seeing her bowing her head and pouting her mouth, she knew she couldn't be persuaded, so she didn't say any more.

On this day, I bid farewell to sister and brother Zhou Pei, and went to visit Kangxian again. After returning home and entering the yard, I heard Tan'er talking to someone in the room.

"...At this time, there are so many things going on at home, why are you going to join in the fun!"

"It's at such times that we think that we are more useful. Second sister, this is a matter of our Su family. We all hide behind, what's going on..."

"What about the Su family? If the family's surname is Ning in the future, you will rebel?"

"I...we're not talking about this. We are convinced by the second brother-in-law, but it's revenge after all...We also want to make ourselves more useful. We can at least learn from what we don't understand..."

"Your second brother-in-law used to be desperate, and would die at every turn. Do you want to learn? Okay, I will give each of you a knife. Now you dare to say that if you are in danger, you can commit suicide at any time without dragging your second brother-in-law. I'll let you go!"

At this time, the people who talked to Su Tan'er inside were just a few young people from the Su family headed by Wending Wenfang. After the separation, they stood on the side of Dafang. This time they knew the meaning of Ning Yi's going to Beijing. , and asked to follow along.Although Su Tan'er was gentle and lovely in front of Ning Yi, at this time she was very stern, and several people were speechless for a while.Although they have passion for a while, it is pure wishful thinking to say that if they have passion, they will not be hindered.

Ning Yi stood outside the window and listened with interest for a while, and felt that his wife's scolding was getting more and more interesting.Xiao Chan came from behind and saw Ning Yi standing outside the window, wanting to say hello, but Ning Yi put up a finger to "shh", and then hugged her.Xiaochan's face turned red, although she also realized what Ning Yi was doing, she stood outside the window with him and listened to Tan'er's training.

"Sanggong, I don't want to be separated from Miss..." After listening for a while, Xiaochan muttered softly.

"I don't want to either." Ning Yi hugged her and shook her with a smile, "But some things are a month or a month earlier, anyway, let's make a stop, and when I go to Liangshan, you still have to stay in the capital Waiting for Tan'er to pass by, we will see you soon."

"Well." Xiaochan nodded, and Ning Yi said softly: "Do you know what you did this time?"

This time Xiaochan nodded vigorously: "Stop ahead, revenge!"

"No way, we're going to have a baby this way."

The two have had skin-to-skin contact for a long time, and such words are not out of the ordinary.At this time, Ning Yi hugged Xiao Chan from behind, and Xiao Chan held his hand, but also smiled "hehe" embarrassingly, like a shy little beauty in a cartoon.

"It's bloody, I'll go in and help talk." After a while, Ning Yi felt that they were talking about the same thing, so Ning Yi smiled and let Xiao Chan go.When entering from the door, everyone in the room stopped. Several young people called "Second Brother-in-law", Ning Yi waved and said: "Go out first, don't make your second sister angry." Several people When he ran away in a hurry, he patted Wending on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you must have something to do this time, it depends on whether you can do it or not. After all, the Su family will rely on you in the future, so learn from it."

When he said this, the faces of several people suddenly lit up, but Su Tan'er, who was still angry over there, narrowed his eyes and looked over.After several people left the room, they asked aggrievedly, "Master, do you really plan to take them there?"

Ning Yi sat by the bed: "What do you think?"

"This kind of thing, how can we take them there. There must be a lot of old people in the secret investigation department, who are proficient in everything. If you bring people like Wending Wen Fang, things may go wrong. In the end, it will make you Go save them, what can I do!" She was a little wronged, staring at Ning Yi.Ning Yi smiled.

"I've thought about this too, and I've thought about it for a while, but I've already told you, Tan'er, what the Secret Detective Division does, so you already know it."

"Yeah." Tan'er nodded.

"A matter needs to be well planned, and the most important thing is intelligence. I agreed to join them because of this. It is much easier to avenge the people in Liangshan. But those who play intelligence are not necessarily reliable. People who know too much , just like the toilet, it is needed when it is used, and everyone wants to avoid it when it is useless..."

When he said this, his expression became serious. Su Tan'er listened carefully, and frowned, "Msg., are you worried... Prime Minister Qin and Concubine Kang?"

Ning Yi shook his head: "After all, I'm still a little familiar with them. What I'm worried about is...the higher ones." He gestured, Tan'er fell silent, and then looked at him worriedly: "Can't...solve Liangshan Do you just withdraw from the matter?"

"I still have some other things I want to do." Ning Yi smiled. He had actually set a goal at this time, which was to help Qin Yuyuan and others stop "Jingkang".If things continue to develop like this, and the army of the Wu Dynasty is so weak, it is certain that the Jin soldiers will go south in the future.When he separated from the watermelon, he had already made such preparations in his heart. As long as such a large-scale disaster does not happen in the future, the Jurchen who occupied the northern land will soon be corrupted. At that time, the Wu Dynasty will maintain a hundred years of peace. Don't ask for more.There is no way for people to guarantee what happens after death. The so-called peace for all generations is just a pleasant ideal, but one thing is for sure. Everyone who wants to save his own life and only expects others to help or save him will die. Dead, at least with him, there will be no mercy.

Naturally, it is not easy for him to tell Tan'er about "Jingkang" and the like, so he paused for a while and said: "This time when we go to Beijing, since the family has been divided, if we want to do business again, we might as well make it a little bigger. I will tell you Qin Xiang mentioned some things. If he agreed, the secret investigation department would not be what it is now, but for fear of accidents, I also want to have some things in my hands. I will take two of my family members there. Dingwen Fang and the others can stay at home. In addition, I think...Tan'er can help you do something, and you are the only one who can do it."

Tan'er smiled, and held his hand: "Your life is my life. It's really such an important matter. If you don't want to think about me... I'll divorce you."

Ning Yi couldn't help laughing, and then held her palm with both hands: "I don't know what will happen in the end, no one will know you, but if there is any accident in the future, maybe you can give me... Also free our family."

Since ancient times, reformers have never had a good end.It’s all because between people, the effect of force is actually mutual. If you want to make a big change, you will inevitably encounter a big counterattack, and the same is true if you want to stop any trend.Ning Yi understands this, and therefore, from now on, he has to make preparations.

That evening, I chatted with Wending Wenfang and others for a while, and naturally didn't talk too much to them about the thoughts in my heart, but chose two people from them and went north with them.These two are also cousins ​​who are close to Dafang's blood, one is Su Wenyu and the other is Su Yanping. As for Wending Wenfang and others, they stay here to cooperate with Tan'er.In fact, there is usually not much difference between people. The children of the Su family are just mediocre without too much training.

At this time when Confucianism is in power, it is generally advocated to change the world with the power of one person. The overall situation, so left and right clumsy, but if everyone can recognize the distance between themselves and the world, first do their own duties before thinking about other things, then it may not be impossible to become a talent.

With regard to family matters, the arrangements are over.That night Ning Yi and Tan'er were lying on the bed, and the child was shaking gently in the cradle next to the bed, when the moonlight poured in from the window.The couple didn't fall asleep, but they all snuggled together quietly.In the middle of the night, the child wet the bed and cried. Ning Yi got up and changed his diaper, hugged him in his arms, and sat on the chair beside the bed and sang softly. The singing sound was like this:

"The herd of buffalo leaves the grassland without a trace. It knows that human beings are coming. The earth is waiting for people to cultivate him and come to this most beautiful new world..."

Tan'er lay on the bed, watching him quietly, listening to the melody that does not belong to this era together with the stars, moonlight, small courtyard, and bamboo forest outside the window.Three years ago, a soul came to this world and looked at everything in this era as a tourist and vacationer. Up to now, he has seen and felt many things, and finally decided to do something about this era.At dawn, he will wake up from his sleep and enter a new world that belongs to him.

At the same night, in the warehouse in the side room of King Kang's Mansion, there was also a figure, holding a lamp, cruising among the large boxes one after another.When daylight came, these boxes would be transported to the cargo ship to the capital, where they would be sent to the imperial palace as a tribute to the royal family and birthday celebrations.Things have already been prepared and numbered.The figure calculated where each box would be placed due to its serial number, then opened it and took out the gold, silver and jewels inside, then lay down in it again to try it out, and dug out a small hole on the box with a knife. hole.

Everything is ready.

After digging the small hole, the slender figure holding the lamp let out a long sigh of relief in front of the box and nodded.

Life and affairs are like a chess game, and there is no turning back when you raise your hand.Although she is not considered a real man, she is confident that there is such a thing in the world that a woman does not give up to a man. She is going to a new place and see a wider world.

********************

That night, neither of them slept too long.

After waking up in the morning, Tan'er put on clothes for him, had breakfast, and the family went to Jiangning's wharf together. Several large official ships were already waiting there with colorful flags on board. Except for Kang Xian, In addition, there is Princess Zhou Xuan of Chengguo herself.Many officials from the Jiangning Mansion also came, because these ships were going to the capital to celebrate the [-]th birthday of the present Empress Dowager.

Due to some considerations, Kang Xian just waved to Ning Yi from a distance, and didn't come over to talk with him, but Wen Renbuer also came, boarded the boat one step earlier, and also didn't bother the Su family. Say goodbye to each other.

"You have to remember home and come back safely."

I have already said enough on weekdays, Tan'er only whispered this sentence to Ning Yi at this time, and then told Su Wenyu and others not to mess around, dragging her brother-in-law back, and told Xiaochan to take good care of her husband.

"It's better to conceive a son-in-law." She whispered in Xiao Chan's ear, softly and playfully, Xiao Chan blushed and dared not nod.

In the distance, Yunzhu and Jin'er boarded a large boat in the rear under the leadership of the servant of the son-in-law's mansion. When looking over from that side, Jin'er stuck out her tongue at Tan'er's back, made a big grimace, and then Only then did Sister Yunzhu jump up and down on the boat.

Su Tan'er smiled, and glanced at the boat over there intentionally or unintentionally. The wind blew over and messed up her hair.The servants of King Kang's Mansion and Princess Mansion carried boxes one by one to the boat. In one of the boxes, a girl looked out through a small hole. For a moment, she almost passed Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others.The girl blinked her eyes in the box, watching Ning Yi's figure flash past in her vision.

Boxes were moved into the cabin one by one. With a bang, the girl felt that her box was put down. She lay in the box and waited for a while. Suddenly, there was another bang, and a box fell on her. On the top of the box, she froze for a moment, then carefully pushed it upwards, but the lid of the box was extremely heavy, and under her strength, it remained motionless.

She hurriedly looked out of the small hole, unable to decide whether to make a sound or not, and after an unknown amount of time, there was another bang, and a box fell into the front of her field of vision, blocking her sight...
