Chapter 345 Before Departure (Part 2)

On April 15, 10th year of Jinghan, the Wu Dynasty, among the grassy areas in the suburbs of Jiangning, a large kite was tied with a kite and flew away from a distance. Xiao Junwu looked at the kite and set his ambitions.

It is really a gratifying thing for a young man to set his ambitions and have lofty hearts. If a person with foresight is here, he may even say that this person will become a great man in the future. However, for Ning Yi, if he succeeds, it is certainly a gratifying thing, but even if he fails, he will at least find what he can do, and the possibility of failure is actually higher. Just like the "Datong" that Xigua wants, the "study of things" that Junwu wants is also the same. He put down his seeds, but he is unwilling to be too persistent until he is necessary.

Junwu had just developed for a while and was still short. He was excited to talk to Ning Yi about the matter. Zhou Pei, who came with him, always liked to preach to his younger brother in the past, but today he was quite quiet. Perhaps because he saw clearly that Junwu wanted to realize his ambitions, he had to be a good little prince. The girl was dignified at this time and had a graceful feeling.

She didn't talk much. It is said that Prince Kang's mansion had already begun to look for a candidate for the county horse. Several young talents from Jiangning were fighting for it. She even heard that several noble talents were making a scene in a certain building. For the news that the little princess competed for literature and martial arts, it was a good story in Jiangning Mansion in a few days. However, Ning Yi was worried about his family affairs, so he could only hear a little bit, not very clear, but it seemed quite exciting.

The cat cage brought to the sky by a kite broke the line soon after. The kitten fell down and it must have fallen to death. On the grass in the suburbs, several servants from the Prince Kang's mansion followed Jun Wu, who was drinking, and then the girl looked for Ning Yifu: "Teacher, my family has been forcing me to recruit Junma. The teacher thinks... how is it?"

"What can I say about the matchmaker's words? You are so smart, I guess you have thoughts in your heart?"

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

Ning Yi looked at her with some sympathy: "I got married like this, and it was not bad later. Everyone came here like this. Not to mention it was difficult to hide from these things, it would be even more troublesome if you escaped. You can choose whatever you are now. If you are older, someone will pick you, and maybe someone will poke your backbone behind you. I heard that those young men with fairly good ranks cannot be said to be of top family background, but their level is pretty good. You probably know them a lot. If you can choose, what else do you want?"

"I, I am still unwilling in my heart." Zhou Pei said softly, "When I was a child, I felt that even women could do many things. Later, I found out that it would not work. I also hope that my younger brother could become a talent, at least he would be a useful prince in the future. Although he cannot manage the world and benefit the people, at least he will be useful in studying such things in the future. But... but in the end, I am still unwilling to accept it. Why can't men do what they can do? I know those who choose county horses, but I know... they are all half-bucket water guys, and they all... don't have any real materials."

In fact, once the prince-consort or county horse is married into the royal family, he will not have the chance to have a career in his life. At this time, young people who truly have ideals and ambitions will not choose this path. If the princesses who have been raised in the palace have never been seen before, some people will even avoid it. However, many young talents in Jiangning City were still flocking to Zhou Pei's marriage selection this time, because she often had the opportunity to show up in public in the past. The little princess has been beautiful since childhood, and at the age of fifteen, she has become more dignified and beautiful. In addition to being beautiful, she has received the education of Kang Xian, and has accomplished a lot in classics, history, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is also a famous talent among the younger generation of Jiangning.

In the past, Ning Yi's views in class were always thought-provoking, which was a gainer for modern people. However, from an orthodox perspective, Ning Yi's attainment in this area is probably far inferior to that of this little princess. Therefore, although Ning Yi did not get involved in the field of these talented men and beautiful women, he also knew that after the little princess had reported that he had married, many young literary talented men were willing to gamble on the future and win Zhou Pei's favor. As long as he was not the eldest son who needed to inherit the family business, he could be a wealthy idle person in the future and be harmonious with this talented princess Qinse, he could only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.

However, they only knew the little princess's talent, but they might not understand her personality. At this time, she whispered, and none of the suitors could catch her eyes. Ning Yi shook his head, feeling that this little girl was too ambitious: "Who was not half a bucket of water at the beginning, about the same age as you? A teenager, as long as he is good in character, will always turn into a bucket of water when he takes his heart. If you learn a lot from Prince Kang, it is too unfair to measure people by his standards. Kang Xian was probably not as good as these children when he was young."

Ning Yi could not persuade such things at this time. If he had a daughter, he would not have chosen her husband at the age of fifteen. But the little princess's case could not be changed at all. She had such a high vision, and she might be able to find a good one at the moment. Wouldn't it be even more tragic to delay it until she was twenty years old? Seeing that she lowered her head and pouted, she knew that she could not persuade her, so she stopped talking.

On this day, I said goodbye to Zhou Pei and his brother, and visited Kang Xian again. When I returned home and entered the yard, I heard Tan'er talking to someone in the room.

"... Now, there are so many things at home, why are you going to join in the fun!"

"It is at this time that we think we are more useful. Second sister, this is our Su family's business. We are all hiding behind us. What's going on..."

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

"I... we are not saying this. We are convinced by my second brother-in-law, but after all, it is revenge... We also want to make ourselves more useful. If we don't understand, we can at least learn..."

"Your second brother-in-law used to fight to the death, and people would die at any time. Do you want to learn? OK, 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 and do not drag down your second brother-in-law, I will let you go!"

At this time, the one who was talking to Su Tan'er was the young people from the Su family headed by Wen Dingwenfang. After the separation, they stood on the side of the big house. This time, they knew the significance of Ning Yi going to Beijing, so they asked to follow him. Although Su Tan'er was gentle and cute in front of Ning Yi, she was stern, and the few people were speechless in a moment. Although they had a moment of passion, if they had a moment of passion, they would not drag their backs on their feet, that was just a pure wishful thinking.

Ning Yi stood outside the window and listened for a while with interest, feeling that his wife was cursing people more and more interesting. Xiaochan came from behind and saw Ning Yi standing outside the window, wanting to say hello, but Ning Yi raised a finger and "shhhh" her, then hugged her and hugged her. Xiaochan's face turned red, although she realized what Ning Yi was doing, she stood outside the window with him and eavesdropped on Tan'er's scolding.

"Honey, I don't want to be separated from the lady..." After hearing this, Xiaochan muttered softly.

"I don't want to do it either." Ning Yi hugged her and shook her smile, "But some things are better than a month earlier. Anyway, we will go to the front station. When I go to Liangshan, you still have to wait for Tan'er to pass in the capital. You will see them soon."

"Yes." Xiaochan nodded, and Ning Yi whispered: "I know what I did this time, right?"

This time Xiaochan nodded vigorously: "Go ahead and take revenge!"

"No, we have to have children all the way."

The two of them have been having skin ties for a long time, and such words are not out of line. At this time, Ning Yi hugged Xiaochan from behind. Xiaochan held his hand, but in a slight sigh, like a shy little beauty in a cartoon.

"It's bloody, I'll go in and help me talk." After a while, I felt that each other was almost the same, Ning Yi smiled and let go of Xiaochan. When he entered from 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 the few people ran away quickly, he patted Wen Ding's shoulder: "Don't worry, you must have something to do this time, it depends on whether you can do it. After all, the Su family will rely on you in the future, so study hard."

After he said this, the faces of the people suddenly lit up. However, Su Tan'er, who was still angry, narrowed her eyes and looked over. After the few people left the room, they asked aggrievedly: "Did you really plan to take them there?"

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

"How can I take them with me like this? There must be many old people in the Secret Detective Department who are proficient in everything. If I bring people like Wen Ding and Wen Fang, I may make mistakes. In the end, I will ask you to save them. What should I do?" She felt a little aggrieved and stared at Ning Yi. Ning Yi smiled.

"I have thought about this too. I have thought about it for a long time, but I have already told you about it to Tan'er, and you know it in your heart."

"Yes." Tan'er nodded.

"If you want to make a good arrangement for a matter, the most dependent on information is intelligence. I promised to join them because of this. It is much simpler to avenge people from Liangshan. But those who play with intelligence are not necessarily reliable. People who know too many things are just like toilets. They need it very much when they are used, and when they are useless, everyone wants to avoid it..."

When he said this, his expression became serious. Su Tan'er listened carefully and frowned and said, "Don't you worry about...Captain Qin and Prince Kang?"

Ning Yi shook his head: "After all, I'm a little familiar with them, what I'm worried about is... more upside." He gestured for a moment, Tan'er fell silent, and then looked at him worriedly: "Can't you... get out after solving the problem of Liangshan?"

"I have some other things to do." Ning Yi smiled. At this time, he had set a goal to help Qin Siyuan and others stop "Jingkang". If things continue to develop like this and the Wu Dynasty army is not strong, 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 does not happen in the future, the Jurchens who occupied the northern land will soon be corrupted. At that time, the Wu Dynasty will maintain a hundred years of peace, and he will not ask for more. People cannot guarantee the things after death. The so-called peace for all ages is just a nice ideal, but one thing is certain. Everyone wants to make a living for themselves and only hopes that others can help or save people. If they die, they will die. At least there will be no mercy here.

He naturally couldn't tell Tan'er about things like "Jingkang". He paused a little and said, "This time he went to Beijing. Since the family has been divided and he wants to do business, he might as well become a little bigger. I will mention something to Qin Xiang. If he agreed, the Secret Detective Department would not be like this, but I am afraid of accidents. I also want to have some things in my hand. I will take two of the people at home, and Wen Ding and Wen Fang and others can stay at home. In addition, I want... to let Tan'er, you can help with some things, and you can do it."

Tan'er smiled and held his hand: "You are my life. There is such an important thing. If you don't think of me, my husband... I will give up."

Ning Yi couldn't help laughing, then held her palm with both hands: "I don't know what will happen in the end, no one will know you, but if something really happens in the future, maybe you can do it for me...and our family."

Since ancient times, people who reformed have never had a good ending. It is because people have the effect of forces that are actually mutual. If you want to make big changes, you will inevitably encounter a big counterattack, and it is the same if you want to block any trend. Ning Yi understands this, and therefore, from now on, he has to make preparations.

In the evening of that day, I had a rough chat with Wen Ding Wen Fang and others. I had some thoughts about my heart. Naturally, I didn't tell them too much, but chose two people from them and went north. These two were also relatives who were close to Da Fang, one was named Su Wenyu and the other was named Su Yanping. As for Wen Ding Wen Fang and others, they stayed here to cooperate with Tan'er. In fact, there were usually not many gaps between people. The children of the Su family had not undergone too much training and performed mediocrely.

At this time when Confucianism was in power, it generally advocated changing the world with one person's strength. A gentleman strives to improve himself. A gentleman is like a dragon, etc. Therefore, young people in the Su family are always ambitious when they are not capable enough, want to drive a big ship and control the overall situation, so they are clumsy. However, if everyone can recognize the distance between themselves and the world, do their own things first and then consider other things, they may not be able to become successful.

The family affairs were arranged. That night, Ning Yi and Tan'er were lying on the bed, and the child was shaking gently in the cradle beside the bed. When the moonlight poured in from the window, the couple did not fall asleep, but they were also quietly snuggling together. At midnight, the child wet the bed and cried. Ning Yi got up and changed his diapers, held them in his arms and coaxed him, sat on the chair beside the bed and sang softly, and the singing was as follows:

"The herd of wild buffaloes are gone without a trace. It knows that humans 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, looking at him quietly, listening to the melody that does not belong to this era with the stars, moonlight, courtyard and bamboo forest outside the window. Three years ago, a soul came to this world and looked at everything in this era with a travel and vacation. 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.

On the same night, in the warehouse of the side house of the Kangwang Mansion, there was also a figure marching among large boxes after large boxes holding lights. By dawn, these boxes would be transported onto the cargo ships and transported to the capital to the palace for tribute and birthday celebrations to the royal family. The things were already ready and numbers had been put on. The figure calculated the locations of boxes due to their numbers, then opened them and moved them out, laying in and trying them out, and digging a small hole in the box with a knife.

Everything is ready.

After digging the small hole, he held the slim figure in the light and let out a long sigh in front of the box and nodded.

Life is like a chess game, and there is no real man to raise his hand. Although she is not a real man, she is confident that there are things that women are inferior to men in the world. She wants to go to a new place and see a wider world.

Neither of the couple slept for too long that night.

After waking up in the morning, Tan'er put on his clothes and had breakfast. The family went to the dock in Jiangning together. Several large official boats were already waiting there. The ships were waving colorful flags. In addition to Kang Xian, there were also Princess Chengguo Zhou Xuan himself. Many officials from Jiangning Mansion also came here because these ships 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 afar and did not come to talk to him. However, Wen Renbuer also came and got on the boat earlier, and did not disturb the Su family's goodbye to each other.

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

He had already said enough on weekdays, and Tan'er only whispered this to Ning Yi, then told Su Wenyu and others not to do anything randomly, dragging his brother-in-law back, and then told Xiaochan to take good care of her husband.

"It's better to be pregnant with a husband's child." She attached herself to Xiaochan's ear, and said softly and playfully. Xiaochan blushed and dared not nodded.

From afar, Yunzhu and Jin'er boarded a large ship behind under the guidance of the servants of the Prince-Confucian Mansion. When they looked over there, Jin'er stuck out her tongue at Tan'er's back and made a big grimace, and then jumped onto the boat with Sister Yunzhu.

Su Tan'er smiled and looked at the boat there intentionally or unintentionally. The wind blew over, messing up her hair. The servants of the Princess' Mansion carried boxes one by one to the boat. In one of the boxes, the girl looked out through the small hole. The noise and bustle on the pier and the farewell of everyone fell into their eyes. At one moment, she almost passed by Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others. The girl blinked in the box, watching Ning Yi's figure flashing through her vision.

The boxes were moved into the cabin. With a bang, the girl felt that her box had been put down. She lay in the box for a while and suddenly, another bombardment came. A box fell on the top of her box. She was stunned for a moment and carefully pushed it up. However, the box lid was extremely heavy and did not move at all under her power.

She hurriedly looked out from the little hole, and it was difficult to decide whether to speak. I don’t know how long it took, but another bombardment came, and a box fell into the vision in front of her, blocking her view...
