Seeing his hesitation, Manager Chu couldn't help but said: "Miss Ali, if it doesn't work out if you give him a chance, we will leave him alone."
"No, I recognize him." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Um?"
Now that we know it, it's different.
Manager Chu looked at the scholar again.
Yiqiu and the others followed, and when they saw this, they stopped and looked over there.
After a while, the scholar finally came over bravely.
"Miss Ah Li... I've met Miss Ah Li." The scholar raised his hand and said awkwardly.
"Zhuge Pan." Xia Zhaoyi said.
The scholar was delighted: "Miss Ah Li, you really remember me."
"Well, last year we met on Wenxingguandao Middle Road, on the mountainside of Qingshanlin Waterfall."
"Miss Ah Li has a good memory and is always busy with everything, but she still remembers a little person like me!"
"Zhuge Pan, you are Zhuge Pan!" Manager Chu on the side said in surprise, "Miss Ali wrote to me before, asking me to pay attention. I have been waiting for several months without seeing you, but it turns out to be you! How did you do this?
What does it look like?”
Zhuge Pan's eyes turned red and he suddenly wanted to kneel down towards Xia Zhaoyi, but Xia Zhaoyi reached out to hold his arm.
"That's what you said." Xia Zhaoyi said warmly.
"Troubled times, troubled times are so painful!" Zhuge Pan cried bitterly.
There were many people coming and going outside, and there were many looks. Xia Zhaoyi took Zhuge Pan through the side door of the alley and entered Ning'an Building.
Zhuge Pan didn't want to cry at first, but the more he talked about it, the more he couldn't stop crying. He started talking about it when he separated from them on the mountainside of Qingshan Forest.
First, we rescued patients and searched for the parents of several children who had lost their parents, which took more than a month.
On the way south, they encountered heavy snow and were stranded for several days. As a result, they ran into Dou Lixin and others who had escaped from Zongxin Mansion and were heading north. He Yanpo had placed them in Congxin Mansion.
They fled in panic and did not have enough food with them, so they fled, burning, killing and plundering all the way.
Almost all of Zhuge Pan's followers died under their swords. He and his only follower hid in the pile of dead people and narrowly escaped death.
However, because everything was robbed, the entourage could not survive the cold winter and died of illness in the wind and snow.
He wandered around alone, gnawing on vegetation, and then walked to Hengxiang. However, after hearing about Ning'an Tower, he did not dare to come.
While he was crying bitterly about the past few months, Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu came down from upstairs. They came to Xia Zhaoyi's side silently without disturbing her. After making eye contact with her, they looked at Zhuge Pan who had been crying.
.
After Zhuge Pan finally finished speaking, he turned around and saw Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu. He was startled and got busy to greet them.
"Ah Li told me about you," Zhao Ning said. "Manager Chu had been waiting for you before, but he couldn't wait for you and even mentioned it to me several times."
"Thank you so much, Miss Ali, and thank you Manager Chu for taking care of me!" Zhuge Pan said repeatedly.
Manager Chu said: "As long as you live until Hengxiang, there's no need to thank you. Look at your ragged clothes. Let's go. I'll take you to wash away the dust and change again."
Zhuge Pan said goodbye and left with Manager Chu. Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu looked away and looked at Xia Zhaoyi, only to see the girl's bright eyes were thoughtful, sitting there looking at a bottle of red coral ornaments in trance.
"Ah Li." Zhao Ning said softly.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned, smiled lightly, stood up and said, "I'm late."
"I'm not afraid of being late," Zhao Ning sighed, "I'm afraid of leaving."
"I didn't just come here."
"I'm talking about Hengxiang, not Ning'an Tower."
Xia Zhaoyi laughed.
"I thought that by setting up your study of life theory in Hengxiang, you would be able to steal a few months of leisure. I could go boating with you from time to time and go shopping to buy clothes and jewelry. Who would have thought that after you arrived in Hengxiang, one day
It hasn’t stopped yet, and now it looks like it’s leaving again.”
"How long have you been here, and now you are leaving?" Mrs. Qu was surprised, "Ah Li, is it true?"
"That's the plan," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile and looked at Zhao Ning, "The one who knows me is Zhao Ning."
"How much can I know? You are so smart, I really don't know."
Mrs. Qu smiled and said: "It doesn't take much, one achievement is enough, one achievement is enough. Ah Li is so knowledgeable, intelligent, and resourceful. We ordinary people know that 10% is enough for several lifetimes."
Xia Zhaoyi was amused, and Zhao Ning also laughed.
Lin Shuanglan and the others had temporarily stayed in Qu's house before. Although Mrs. Qu loved to smile and was kind to them, they felt too cramped and did not dare to say much.
Now, seeing Mrs. Qu being so cheerful and generous, and Mrs. Zhao, who everyone said was cold-faced and ruthless, smiling heartily, they were all surprised. With both surprise and envy, they couldn't help but look at the two men who were famous in Hengxiang.
girl surrounded by women.
And speaking of it, this girl is not famous all over the world.
The banquet was held on the second floor, where Zhao Ning usually ate alone.
The table is already covered with side dishes, all served on gold, jade, sea and butterfly porcelain sets, and the wine and tea cups are also in the same set.
After sitting down, Mrs. Qu kept talking to Lin Shuanglan and others, introducing the dishes. Finally, she saw that they were still embarrassed by her enthusiasm and was afraid of embarrassing them, so she left them to eat by themselves without saying anything more.
The things Xia Zhaoyi and Zhao Ning talked about the most were, firstly, traveling to the world to discuss learning, secondly, materials and military pay, and thirdly, building roads with incense.
After dinner was over, Mrs. Qu proposed to go for a walk on the street, which happened to be the wish of Lin Shuanglan and Feng Anan.
Mrs. Qu specially sent an aunt to follow the three of them, and specifically told these girls that if there was anyone they liked, they should ask her aunt to pay first.
Xia Zhaoyi and Zhao Ning walked a little slowly, still chatting.
When Mrs. Qu returned to them, she heard Zhao Ning take a deep breath: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. If the food and grass are safe, the road will be smooth. Last year, you left Mr. Qi here with me. He
When it comes to building roads and bridges, I thought it only refers to roads traveling around the state."
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "Repairing Hengxiang has nothing to do with military affairs."
"That is……"
"When I left Master, Master wrote three words to me. The top of it was, "Life is difficult for common people."
Zhao Ning raised her eyebrows lightly when she heard this. A gust of evening breeze blew by, and the green veil in front of her vertical abdomen fluttered gently in the wind.
"Are there tens of millions of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world? Do you want to build a city?" Zhao Ning was surprised.
Xia Zhaoyi blinked his eyes, then smiled: "No."
"That is……"
"Just seeking knowledge." Xia Zhaoyi looked at the bright lights. Lin Shuanglan and Feng An'an were running away in front of them. They were choosing clay figurines in front of a vendor on the roadside. They didn't want their aunt's money and were arguing.
"My master has been searching for half his life, but there is one problem that he still cannot solve," Xia Zhaoyi said in a low voice, "that is, how to make it easy for people to live."
When one level of dignity is broken, a new one will be created.
Li Jue has fallen from the top of the dynasty, but on the day when the troubled times end, there will be a new emperor stepping on the bones, looking down at the world, and controlling the life and death of the dawn at will.
Ancient and modern times are adjacent to each other, with the Zhang Dynasty and the Qian Dynasty.
Within and outside the Central Plains, there were Li Qian and Northern Yuan.
The dividing line between the chaotic world is Qianmo, and the current chaos of fragmentation and warlord rule.
But no matter who they are, they have their own system of respect and inferiority.
At that time, the master said that she was still young, not enough to compete with Bei Yuan, not enough to completely overthrow the entire Li Qian, and that she was too murderous and had millions of obstacles hidden in her chest, so she was allowed to grow up and see the world.
In those years, she traveled all over the country and saw the hardships and dangers of the people. As a result, she gradually became as confused as her master.
Everything you see is devastated.
However, this kind of devastation is not just caused by the war.
Without war, bullying can still be seen everywhere, kneeling can be seen everywhere, and hard-earned efforts can be easily taken away everywhere.
She didn't know how to solve it, so she was also seeking knowledge.
The reason why Hengxiang was chosen is that Hengxiang is stable and Dongping University is located in Hengxiang. Hengxiang has been an elegant city since ancient times.
So she thought, if Hengxiang could be given a new look, and the people of Hengxiang could live and work in peace and contentment, with everyone having food and clothing, and inherit the teachings of poems and books, would it be possible for her and her master to be together in five, ten, or twenty years?
See the answer?
She admits that this idea may be a bit naive, but she is not seeking knowledge.
Anyway, since she has the ability, she will try it.
But I don't know how to tell Zhao Ning these things, and it seems that there is no need to explain them in detail.
Unknowingly, we arrived at Shunyu Lake.
There is still a distance from Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion, but when you look up, you can see the resplendent inn not far away in the bright lights of the city.
Zhao Ning followed the girl's gaze and said, "The father and son of the Shen family still live there, do you want to meet them?"
Xia Zhaoyi shook his head.
That night, after she asked Zhan Ning to kidnap Shen Shuangcheng, she didn't do anything to him when she brought him back to the city. She just sent someone to throw him into Shen Shu's wing.
If the injury on Shen Lie's back was really caused by Shen Shuangcheng, she would definitely pay it back in full.
However, no.
But with Shen Shuangcheng's temper and being thrown in front of his beloved eldest son like a ball, he probably had the intention of killing her these days.
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly thought of the patterns Su Yumei mentioned and looked at Zhao Ning: "By the way, I need your help with something."
"What's the matter? It doesn't matter if you say it."
"Zhenchang." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
They stood here, but the people upstairs were also looking at them.
Shen Xu's eyebrows were deep and he looked coldly at these women standing on the bustling street.
The girl was dressed in dark and elegant clothes, and her light was easily obscured by the women in brocade clothes surrounding her.
Even the maids in Ning'an Building and Qu's Mansion all wore brighter and more eye-catching clothes than she did.
But Shen Xu still focused on her at a glance.
"Master?" Zou Zhan came in with a bottle of plaster. Seeing Shen Xu standing at the window, he stepped forward and said, "Did you blow out the lights in the room?"
Turning his eyes, Zou Zhan also saw the hated girl.
Shen Xu said calmly: "Throughout the ages, it has been so easy to destroy a woman. You can call her a monster or a witch, accuse her of being a libertine, flirting with others, and a shameless slut. With just one mouthful, you can bring a woman to life.
It's a shame. But it's a coincidence that none of the three women here are afraid of this bad reputation."
Especially this girl who made Shen Qing gnash his teeth the most.
Not only does she have money, but she also has power, soldiers, and hearts. Not only is she not an idiot, she is also a ruthless character who is both wise and evil.
"It's really enviable. At such a young age, one can stand tall like a mountain, impervious to wind and rain." Shen Xu said slowly.
"The storm can't stop," Zou Zhan said, "Master, you can make the thunder that can chop her down."
"Me?" Shen Xu smiled, "I am a dying person, but a piece of rotten wood. How can I do this?"
As he said that, Shen Xu raised his eyes and looked up at the sky.
There was no moon or stars, just a vast dark night.
"It would be great if I lived to be a hundred years old." Shen Xu sighed softly.
