On April 15th, the 10th year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, on the grassland on the outskirts of Jiangning, a big kite with a cage containing kittens was tied to it and flew away. Xiao Junwu looked at the kite and set his ambition.
It is really gratifying for a young man to be determined and ambitious. If there are people with foresight here, they may say that this boy will become a great person in the future. But for Ning Yi, it would be gratifying if he succeeds.
Even if it fails, at least he has found something he can do, and the possibility of failure is actually higher. Just like the "Great Harmony" that Xigua wants, the "Gewu" that Junwu wants is also ordinary. He put down the seeds, but not
Don't be too persistent when necessary.
Jun Wu had just grown up at this time and was still short. He was talking excitedly to Ning Yi about studying things. Zhou Pei, who came with him, always liked to lecture his younger brother in the past, but today he was quite quiet.
Perhaps it was clear that Jun Wu had to be a good little prince first if he wanted to realize his ambition. The girl now had a dignified temperament and already had the feeling of being tall and graceful.
She didn't talk much. It was said that Prince Kang's palace had already determined to find a candidate for her to be a county horse. Several young talents from Jiangning were competing for it. It was even heard that several noble talents were setting up a show in a certain building.
The news about the young princess's literary and martial arts contest became a good story in Jiangning Mansion within a few days. However, Ning Yi was worried about family affairs, so he could only hear half of it. It was not very clear, but it was quite exciting to think about.
The cat cage that was carried into the sky by the kite broke off soon after. The kitten fell down and probably died. On the grassland on the outskirts of the city, several servants from Prince Kang's Mansion followed Jun Wu who was shouting and shouting to look for it. The girl then
Chao Ning Yifu said: "Teacher, my family has been forcing me to recruit county horses. Teacher, what do you think...?"
"What can I say about what my parents ordered the matchmaker to say? You are so smart, you must have something in mind before you say it?"
Zhou Pei lowered his head: "I thought the teacher would have something different to say... I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time."
Ning Yi looked at her with some sympathy: "I also got married like this, and it was not bad afterward. These things happen to everyone like this. Not to mention it is difficult to avoid, but it will be more troublesome if you avoid it. At your current age,
You can choose who the county horse is. If you are older, someone will pick you, and maybe someone will stab you in the back. I heard that although those young men who are quite the county horse cannot be said to be top-notch, but their skills are
They're all pretty good. You and they probably know each other fairly well, so I can let you choose. What else do you want?"
"I, I'm still unwilling to give in." Zhou Pei said softly, "When I was a child, I thought that even women could do many things, but later I found out that I couldn't. I also hope that my younger brother can become a talent and at least become a useful prince in the future. Now he
Although I can't manage the world and benefit the people, at least studying things will be useful in the future, but... But in the end, I still feel unwilling to do it. Why can't I do things that men can do? Those who choose county horses
, I know them... They are all half-empty guys, and each of them... has nothing real to offer."
In fact, once a prince-in-law or a county horse enters the royal family, he will have no chance of an official career in his life. At this time, young people with real ideals and ambitions will not choose this path. If those who have been raised in the palace have never been seen
When a princess chooses a consort, some people would even avoid it. However, when Zhou Pei chooses a bride this time, many young talents in Jiangning City are still flocking to it because she often has the opportunity to show her face in the past. The little princess has followed
She was beautiful in appearance, and when she was fifteen years old at this time, she became even more dignified and beautiful. In addition to her beauty, she was educated by Kang Xian and was quite accomplished in classics, poetry, calligraphy and painting. She was the youngest person in Jiangning.
A famous talented woman in her generation.
In the past, when Ning Yi attended classes, the views he spoke were often thought-provoking, which was taking advantage of modern people. But if you look at it from an orthodox perspective, I am afraid that Ning Yi's achievements in this area are far less than this little princess. For this reason, Ning Yi
Although he doesn't get involved in the field of these talented people and beauties, he also knows that since the news of the little princess's marriage, there have been many young literary talents who are willing to bet their futures to win Zhou Pei's favor. As long as they are not the ones who need to inherit
The eldest son of the family, if he can be a wealthy and idle man in the future, and be in harmony with this talented princess princess, he can be regarded as the envy of mandarin ducks rather than immortals.
However, they only knew the little princess's talents, but they did not necessarily understand her character. At this time, she whispered, but none of the suitors could catch her eye. Ning Yi shook his head, feeling that this little girl was too much.
So lofty and ambitious: "Who is not half a bucket of water at the beginning? He is about the same age as you. A teenage child, as long as he has a good heart, will always turn into a big bucket of water over time. You have learned a lot from Prince Consort Kang,
It's too unfair to judge people by his standards. When Kang Xian was young, he was probably not as good as these children."
For this kind of thing, Ning Yi couldn't persuade her too much at this time. If he had a daughter, he would naturally not choose a husband for her at the age of fifteen. But there is nothing that can be done about the little princess. She has such high standards.
, maybe you can find a good one now, wouldn't it be even more tragic to delay it until you are twenty? Seeing her lowering her head and pouting, knowing that she couldn't persuade him, he didn't say anything more.
On this day, I said goodbye to Zhou Pei's sister and brother, and went to visit Kang Xian again. When I returned home and entered the courtyard, 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 joining in the fun!"
"It's at times like this that we think we can be more useful. Second sister, this is our Su family's business. We are all hiding behind it. What's going on..."
"What about the Su family? If this family takes the surname Ning in the future, you will rebel?"
"I...we are not talking about this. Second brother-in-law, we are convinced, but after all, it is revenge...We also want to make ourselves more useful. At least we can learn what we don't understand..."
"You second brother-in-law used to work hard and 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 dare to commit suicide at any time without dragging down your second brother-in-law.
I’ll let you go!”
The people talking to Su Tan'er inside at this time were several young people from the Su family led by Wen Ding Wenfang. After the separation, they were on the side of Dafang. They knew the significance of Ning Yi's coming to Beijing this time.
, and asked to follow him together. Although Su Tan'er was gentle and cute in front of Ning Yi, her voice and expression were fierce at this time, and several people were speechless for a moment. Although they had a moment of passion, but if they have passion, they will not be held back.
, that’s just wishful thinking.
Ning Yi stood outside the window and listened with interest for a while, feeling that his wife's scolding was getting more and more interesting. Xiaochan came from behind and saw Ning Yi standing outside the window. She wanted to say hello, but Ning Yi gave her a thumbs up.
He raised a finger and "shushed" her, then pulled her over and hugged her. Xiaochan's face turned red, although she also realized what Ning Yi was doing, and stood with him outside the window to eavesdrop on Tan'er's training.
"Ms. sir, I don't want to be separated from my lady..." After hearing this 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 happen a month or a month earlier. Anyway, let's go to the front station. When I go to Liangshan, you still have to be in the capital.
Waiting for Tan'er to pass by, we'll see you soon."
"Yes." Xiaochan nodded, and Ning Yi said softly: "Do you know what you are going to do this time?"
This time Xiaochan nodded vigorously: "Fight forward and take revenge!"
"No way, we are going to have a baby along the way."
The two have been in skin-to-skin contact for a long time, so these words are not out of the ordinary. At this time, Ning Yi hugged Xiao Chan from behind, and Xiao Chan hugged his hand, but suddenly she also laughed "hehe", like
She is the shy little beauty in the cartoon.
"It's bloody bloody. I'll go in and help talk." After a while, Ning Yi felt that they were talking about the same thing, and Ning Yi smiled and let go of Xiaochan. When he entered through the door, everyone in the room stopped.
, several young people called "second brother-in-law", Ning Yi waved his hand and said: "Go out first, don't make your second sister angry." When several people ran away quickly, he patted Wen Ding on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, you will definitely have something to do this time. It depends on whether you can do it or not. After all, the Su family will still rely on you in the future, so study hard."
When he said this, the faces of several people suddenly brightened up. However, Su Tan'er, who was still angry over there, squinted her eyes and looked over. After several people left the room, they asked aggrievedly: "Mr.
Do you really plan to take them there?"
Ning Yi sat beside the bed: "What do you think?"
"How can we take them with us to do this kind of thing? There must be a lot of old people in the secret investigation department who are skilled in everything. If we take people like Wen Ding Wenfang with us, things may go wrong, and in the end it will turn to you.
Go rescue them, what will you do!" She felt a little aggrieved and stared at Ning Yi. Ning Yi smiled.
"I've thought about this, and I've thought about it for a long time, but I've already told you, Tan'er, what exactly the Secret Investigation Department does, so you should have an idea."
"Yeah." Tan'er nodded.
"In order to plan a matter well, the most important thing is intelligence. I agreed to join them for this reason. It is much easier to take revenge against the people in Liangshan. But those who play intelligence are not necessarily reliable. People who know too many things
, just like a toilet, it is very needed when it is used, and everyone wants to avoid it when it is not in use..."
When he said this, his expression became serious. Su Tan'er listened carefully and frowned: "Is your husband worried about... Qin Xiang and Kang's consort?"
Ning Yi shook his head: "I'm still familiar with them after all. What I'm worried about is... the higher-ups." He gestured, and Tan'er fell silent, and then looked at him worriedly: "Can't... solve Liangshan.
Are you going to get out of this matter?"
"I have some other things I want to do." Ning Yi smiled. He had actually set a goal at this time, which was to help people like Qin Siyuan stop "Jingkang". If things continue to develop like this, the Wu Dynasty army will
If this is not enough, it is certain that the Jin soldiers will go south in the future. When he separated from Xigua, he had already made such preparations in his heart. As long as such a large-scale disaster did not happen in the future, the Jurchens who occupied the northern land would soon be defeated.
Corruption, at that time, the Wu Dynasty will maintain peace for a hundred years, and he will not ask for more. There is no way to guarantee what will happen after death. The so-called peace for all generations is just a nice-sounding ideal, but one thing is for sure, everyone
A person who wants to save his own life and only hopes for help or salvation from others will die when he dies. At least there will be no mercy from him.
Naturally, he couldn't tell Tan'er about things like "Jingkang". He paused briefly and said: "This time I went to Beijing, since the family has been divided, and if we want to do business again, we might as well make it a little bigger. I will follow
Xiang Qin mentioned something. If he had agreed, the Secret Investigation Department would not be what it is now. But for fear of an accident, I also want to have something in my hands. I will bring two of my family members there. Wen
They can stay at home while the document is finalized. Besides, I want... to ask you, Tan'er, to help with some things. 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 thing. If you don't miss me... I will 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 an accident in the future, maybe you can give it to me...
It also provides relief to our family."
Since ancient times, those who implement reforms have never had a good end. This is because the forces between people are actually mutual. If you want to make big changes, you will inevitably encounter a big counterattack, and if you want to block any trend, the same is true.
Ning Yi understands this, and therefore, he must make preparations from now on.
That evening, I briefly chatted with Wen Ding, Wen Fang and others for a while. Regarding my thoughts, I naturally didn’t tell them too much. Instead, I picked two people to go north with them. These two people were also related to the big people.
Fang's close cousins, one named Su Wenyu and the other Su Yanping, while Wen Ding and Wen Fang and others stayed here to cooperate with Tan'er. In fact, there is usually not much difference between people. The children of the Su family are just
Without too much training, the performance is mediocre.
At the time when Confucianism was in power, it generally advocated changing the world with the power of one person, that a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement, that a gentleman is like a dragon, and so on. Therefore, the young people of the Su family always aim high and want to sail a big ship when they are not capable enough.
The overall situation is so inconsistent, but if everyone can recognize the distance between themselves and the world, and do their own thing first before thinking about other things, then they may not be able to become talented.
The arrangements for the family affairs have been completed. That night, Ning Yi and Tan'er were lying on the bed, and the child was rocking gently in the cradle beside the bed. When the moonlight poured in from the window, the couple did not fall asleep, but they were both peaceful.
They snuggled together quietly. In the middle of the night, the child wet the bed and cried. Ning Yi got up and changed his diaper. He held him in his arms and coaxed him. He sat on the chair beside the bed and sang softly. The song was like this:
"The bison herd has left the grassland without a trace. It knows that humans are coming, and the earth is waiting for people to reclaim it and come to this most beautiful new world..."
Tan'er was lying on the bed, watching him quietly, listening to the melody that did not belong to this era with the stars, moonlight, small courtyard, and bamboo forest outside the window. Three years ago, a soul came to this world to travel and vacation.
He looked at everything in this era with a posture. 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 world that belongs to him.
's new world.
On the same night, in the warehouse of the side room of Prince Kang's Mansion, there was also a figure, holding a light, patrolling between large boxes one after another. When daybreak, these boxes would be loaded onto cargo ships and transported to the capital for delivery.
He arrived at the palace as a tribute to the royal family and to celebrate his birthday. The things were already prepared and numbered. The figure calculated the positions where each box would be placed due to the numbering, and then opened it and took out the gold and silver jewelry inside.
After moving it out, I lay down in it and tried it again. I used a knife to dig out a small hole in the box with great difficulty.
Everything is ready.
After digging the small hole, the slim figure holding the light breathed a long sigh of relief in front of the box and nodded.
Everything in life is like a chess game, and a man can never turn back. Although she is not a man, she is confident that there are women in the world who cannot give way to men. She wants to go to a new place and see a broader world.
That night, neither husband nor wife slept for too long.
After waking up in the morning, Tan'er put on clothes for him, had breakfast, and the family went to the dock in Jiangning together. Several large official ships were already waiting there, with colorful flags flying on the ships. Except for Kang Xian, the people who came over were
In addition, there was Chengguo Princess Zhou Xuan herself. Many officials from Jiangning Mansion also came because these shipments of things were to be transported to the capital to celebrate the 50th birthday of the current Queen Mother.
Due to some considerations, Kang Xian just waved to Ning Yi from a distance and did not come over to talk to him. However, Wenren Fuer also came and got on the boat earlier, and did not bother anyone in the Su family either.
Say goodbye to each other.
"You have to remember your home and come back safely."
Tan'er had already talked enough on weekdays, so Tan'er only said this softly to Ning Yi at this time, and then told Su Wenyu and others not to mess around and hinder her brother-in-law, and then told Xiaochan to take good care of her husband.
"It's best to have a baby by your father-in-law." She whispered in Xiaochan's ear, and said playfully. Xiaochan blushed and dared not nod.
From a distance, Yunzhu and Jin'er were led by the servants of the Prince Consort's Mansion onto a large ship at the rear. When looking over there, Jin'er stuck out her tongue at Tan'er's back, made a big face, and then
Then she jumped onto the boat with Sister Yunzhu.
Su Tan'er smiled and glanced at the boat over there intentionally or unintentionally. The wind blew over and ruffled her hair. The servants of Prince Kang's and Princess's mansion carried boxes one by one to the boat. One of them
In the box, the girl looked out through the small hole. She saw the hustle and bustle on the dock and everyone's farewells. At a certain moment, she almost passed by Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others.
The girl blinked in the box and watched Ning Yi's figure flash past her field of 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 upward. However, the lid was extremely heavy and did not move at all under her strength.
She hurriedly looked out of the small hole, unable to decide whether to make a sound or not. She didn't know how long it had passed before there was another bang. A box fell in front of her, blocking her sight...
