In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the snow melts and the ice disappears, and the Yangtze River begins to enter the flood season. The river comes down from the upper reaches in a mighty manner, and gradually becomes more powerful when it reaches the Jiangning area. On the waterway along the way, only large ships with deep drafts dare to sail at this time.
.. Even so, the official ship Ning Yi and others boarded was also a bit bumpy and swaying. After setting sail, if there were seasickness, the symptoms would gradually show up.
"After arriving at the Grand Canal, the boat became more stable. There was nothing we could do in the first two days..."
At this time, most of the people accompanying these boats were dignitaries and people of high status. When the boat was not moving smoothly, some people lost their temper, and some even wanted to get off the boat immediately and ride northward, so the boatmen and others had to explain carefully with them.
Ning Yi and others only spent a long time and saw several such things. In these years, there are not many opportunities for people with status to travel. There is no specific medicine for motion sickness and seasickness. If it is a sea ship, such symptoms will be even more troublesome.
I can only endure it, there is nothing I can do.
Ning Yi was okay with this kind of thing, but Su Wenyu, who was accompanying him, suffered from severe seasickness, so he had to let him vomit and vomit in the cabin at the back, saying: "You are used to vomiting and vomiting, life is like this."
After all, when he went to Beijing this time, he wanted to join only the intelligence system. Kang Xian and others just arranged their group in a cabin at the back. They would not have much interaction with the officials and dignitaries in front, and they would be treated like first-class people.
The same is true. Ning Yi didn't care about the age gap, and then talked to everyone about the origin of balance ability. He said that there is a place on both sides of the human brain near the ears called the semicircular canals. If it were dissected, what kind of place would it be?
It controls the balance of the human body. If a person suffers from motion sickness and seasickness, it is probably because this part is not very developed.
Xiaochan occasionally brought tea over, and she knew that her uncle was talking about things that others couldn't understand. In fact, even if others didn't understand, Ning Yi didn't explain much. Qi Xinyong, Qi Xinyi and others originally knew people well.
They thought he had read some miscellaneous books or made nonsense. Later, when they saw that he spoke clearly and eloquently, they believed that there might be such a thing. In fact, they did not necessarily believe that the balance of the human brain came from the semicircular canals, but they gradually felt that Ning Yi might really know about people.
There was something in his brain, and when he heard him say how big the human brain would be after it was unfolded, I couldn't help but feel horrified.
At this time, even the most curious doctors would not understand this aspect of the matter. It would be possible to do an autopsy, but they would never spread out the human brain to see how big it is.
When Yi said this, everyone couldn't help but think, maybe he had taken measurements when he had nothing to do?
In fact, Ning Yi seems to be a scholar, but his behavior is always unexpected. Wenren Buer has seen that he is slightly nervous under his calmness. Although Qi Xinyong and others have not interacted with him much, they have also seen him standing next to Liu Xigua.
The scene. Later I heard that he designed the gates of Hangzhou to be opened. How could such a person be so simple? Although it was a bit strange to think of him studying this at first, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there might really be such a thing.
Maybe, I couldn't help but feel horrified, and subconsciously sat farther away from Ning Yi. However, Qi Xinhan, the youngest in the Qi family, would occasionally answer with interest: "Maybe practicing plum blossom pile and other kung fu will be beneficial to this semicircular canal?"
Ning Yi held tea and chatted with everyone for a while. Then he also talked about some anecdotes about the world, and chatted about Liangshan for a while. At a certain moment, Ning Yi went out to bring hot water, but at the door he listened for a while and asked
Said: "Did you hear the sound of dong dong dong dong?"
Everyone heard this sound and nodded. In fact, the water surface was slightly bumpy, and the sound was caused by the collision of boxes in some nearby rooms. Ning Yi thought for a while, but said: "It doesn't seem to be the case, but it seems like someone is there.
Knock on the wall..." Everyone just heard him talk about dissecting the human brain. At this time, their faces changed slightly, and they all thought he was having a mental illness. But fortunately, Ning Yi listened for a while, then shook his head and said: "Maybe I heard wrong...
"
The ship was bumpy all day long. Wenren Buer and others went to the front to find out the identities of the guests on the ship. The Princess's fleet went north, with different purposes. In fact, Princess Chengguo had many properties under her name, and everyone
From time to time, it is necessary for such a fleet to travel north and south. This time, it is natural that there is a reason to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Many dignitaries and nobles go with it. In fact, it is also related to the momentum of the Northern Expedition, although it is said in words.
, Recovering Youyan was a major event in the two hundred years of the Wu Dynasty, but it is a real problem that materials and military expenses are spread on everyone's head. In fact, some people are willing to spend more, and some people want to spend less, and there are reasons for this.
After the situation in the south was settled, the group of people in Jiangning who had connections with the royal family took the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays and prepared to go north for some activities.
Among the people on the boat at this time, there were officials, rich second generation and even family members. After asking around for a while, I realized that their status was too high to reach, so it was best to stay away from them. After lunch,
Someone came to visit Ning Yi. He was a handsome young man named Zhuo Yunfeng, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Naturally, Ning Yi had never seen him before, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have heard someone say that he was
He is a well-known young talent in the Jiangning literary world. Since he has just come out, when others talk about him in front of Ning Yi, they usually comment that the student who has a nephew is quite talented and will become a great person in the future. Ning Yi goes there
During this time in Hangzhou, he gained some fame.
Zhuo Yunfeng was also a member of the clan, and his mother was a married county lord. Although her husband's family had little success in the future, the royal bloodline was indelible after all. This time, he probably wanted to go to Jingbo to gain fame and connections. When he saw Ning
Yi, his words were respectful, and then he asked Ning Yi for some insights on poetry. Ning Yi did not tell many people about his trip to Beijing on the ship. He thought that this young man had some relationship with Kang Xian, so he found him.
Later, it was discovered in the conversation that this young man was also an admirer of Zhou Pei. He occasionally mentioned the little princess in his words, which was quite appreciative. In addition to the arrogance unique to this young man in his words and expressions,
There is nothing that can be called a shortcoming, but it is natural for a young man to be talented and arrogant, but in fact it is nothing.
After chatting like this, the young man sat next to Ning Yi for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and then left again. Ning Yi felt a little confused and couldn't tell what was weird.
In fact, Zhou Pei may have decided on the person to marry in the past few months. Zhuo Yunfeng has no chance to go to Beijing now, but looking at his expression, he seems to have something in mind. I don't know why.
This thought passed through Ning Yi's mind, and then he stopped thinking about it. In fact, what he was thinking about these days was still about Liangshan. He was not familiar with Liangshan's affairs, so he only needed to think about it.
Many. At the level of Wu Dynasty, conspiracy is not necessarily easy to use, and conspiracy requires a lot of accurate information to support, but there are indeed one or two things that can be given to Qin Siyuan at this time, that is, in these few days
Here he needs to perfect the center point.
That night, the ship was moored in the port, but the wind picked up at night and the ship was swaying a little. Many crew members had disembarked to have fun and stayed in inns, but for the few people who followed from the Su family, Ning Yi
They were still asked to live on the boat. However, after the boat stopped, Ning Yi also went to another large boat to visit Yunzhu and Jin'er. Yunzhu was not seasick, but with Jin'er's water quality like white stripes in the waves, this matter
Then there is no need to worry at all.
On that night, after Xiaochan also fell asleep, Ning Yi looked at the moon outside the cabin but found it difficult to fall asleep. Tan'er and the children at home, what people they wanted to see when they went to the capital this time, what they said and what they did,
Possible impact…
He sorted out his emotions, got up from the bed, walked to the cabin and the deck. At this time, the clouds were flying and the moon was moving, the shadows of the trees on the river bank were longing, and the lights of the mountain city in the distance were twinkling, and they were reflected in the water, but it was also a wonderful sight.
It's a nice scene. Several large ships are patrolled by soldiers and are heavily guarded. However, during the day, there is a kind of nobleman who goes aboard the ship. The servants are gone, so it is quiet. Just when I think about it, I seem to hear the thumping in my ears again.
The sound came, but when I listened carefully, it was gone.
He was about to return to the cabin when he saw Zhuo Yunfeng and several servants getting off a large ship in the moonlight over there. He said a few words, frowned, and then glanced at the other ships.
It looks like he is looking for something and is trying to figure out where it is.
Zhuo Yunfeng glanced at it for a few times, and inadvertently, his eyes turned towards Ning Yi, and then froze. This kind of encounter at night should have been just a matter of saying hello, but Zhuo Yunfeng's expression was a little weird.
, first stood there and looked at Ning Yi for a while, and then from a distance, he cupped his hands vigorously. It seemed that Ning Yi had seen something terrible, and his conspiracy was exposed, so he was very honest with Ning Yi.
Ning Yi came face to face.
This incident made Ning Yi a little confused. At this time, he had been tricked several times by people, such as Gu Yanzhen, Lou Shuheng and Xi Junyu. He was already quite familiar with this kind of neurosis that seemed to have persecution delusions.
He was vigilant and kept the matter in his mind that night. When he got up early the next morning, he was still thinking about whether he had interacted with Zhuo Yunfeng. At that time, the morning fog lingered on the river, and he suddenly thought of something and turned around.
Go to the cabin.
The big shots who lived in front of him may not know his identity, but the steward sent by the Princess Chengguo Mansion knew that this person was. Ning Yi wandered around the cabin for a while before making up his mind to get it with the steward.
After throwing away the key, he opened the door of one of the cabins and asked the steward to guard it nearby. He saw that the tributes from the capital would be transported to the cabin at that time. They were packed in large boxes, with seals affixed one by two. Ning Yi
I climbed up to the top of those boxes, observed each place for a long time, stamped my feet, and knocked. After a while, a faint sound came from somewhere inside.
Ning Yi moved the box below, and after a while, he found the dying Zhou Pei curled up in the big wooden box below...
It may not happen tomorrow, but it will be fine the day after tomorrow. (To be continued.
