Being drunk yesterday, Zhang Ning vaguely remembered being helped into the carriage, but then he couldn't remember clearly. When he woke up, he first saw Zhang Xiaomei wiping the table with a rag. He moved a little and felt that this place was very...
It's strange, it doesn't look like the house I lived in before. I also heard the gentle sound of "wow, ow" water, which should be the sound of waves hitting the shore. There is an artificial lake in the Chu Palace, but where does such a pool of water come from?
The wave of?
"Brother." Zhang Xiaomei called back, ran over and said, "It's already afternoon, you can really sleep."
Zhang Ning responded casually, got out of bed and put on his shoes. The first thing he thought of was to open the door and see where he was.
"Creak." As soon as the wooden door opened, his eyes widened. He saw a hall outside. Looking out from near to far, the wall in front was empty, and a large body of water outside came into view.
I seem to have seen such a scene somewhere, yes, it was in a dream. Although there is a slight difference, it is almost the same.
He didn't even wear a coat, so he walked out in his undergarments. He came to the door threshold and looked around. He saw that this place seemed to be the shore of a sand lake, because only Sha Lake in Wuchang City has such a large, almost endless water area. For a moment, he was surprised.
I didn’t know the direction because it was raining lightly and I couldn’t see the sun.
This house is next to Shahu Lake and has no yard. It has such a very spacious and bright hall. The pillars in the middle and the curtains decorated on all sides make the hall full of antique flavor. There are two square wooden tables close to each other by the door, and there are
It looks like a large pavilion or open palace, but it is not. The entire front wall area is divided into several gates. If the gate is closed, it should be made of wide door panels, otherwise it will not be so spacious.
The doors have the same format as the doors of some shops on the street. At this time, several doors in a row are open, so that the line of sight is extremely wide.
Looking down from here, there is a lake next to the stone foundation. There is a withered reed pole beside the lake, swaying back and forth in the wind and rain, as if dancing. There is a small island in the center of the lake, and the pavilion on the island is looming in the mist. Several lines
The awning boat floats on the water with the wind, and there is no hustle and bustle of the market around it, just like a paradise.
It must have been arranged by Yao Ji. The boats on the water should be patrolled by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He remembered mentioning this matter to Yao Ji, but it was just a casual talk. At that time, he was depressed in Jiujiang, so he thought he could
There is such a secluded place to cultivate, but it is just tired and extravagant and lazy life... Unexpectedly, Yao Ji can really find such a place from a few words. This is probably the reward of power and wealth, and what she wants can be easily obtained
satisfy.
Zhang Xiaomei chased her out and shouted: "It's so cold outside, brother, why don't you put on your clothes?"
Zhang Ning was still looking at the scenery around him and didn't pay attention to her for a moment. At this time, the little girl put her hand from his back angrily, and her cold little hand suddenly touched Zhang Ning's skin, and he suddenly "hissed"
"I took a breath through my teeth, and the little girl suddenly laughed: "Is it cold, is it cold?"
"Let's see how I deal with you!" Zhang Ning came back to his senses, became playful, and started to arrest her.
When the little girl saw this, she yelled "Yeah", picked up her skirt and ran away. If she didn't run, Zhang Ning didn't know what to do with her. Naturally, he would chase her and scare her. Zhang Ning was smart enough not to run into a blind corner.
Just circle around the table and chairs in the middle.
But she was wearing a long skirt, so she couldn't outrun Zhang Ning, and she was caught up by Zhang Ning within two turns. Zhang Ning didn't think much, and hugged her waist from behind, while Zhang Ning was still laughing.
, while yelling coquettishly: "Brother bullies me, bullying a small one with a big one is not a hero!"
"Look, you are still naughty." Zhang Ning wanted to make a joke, but he was not used to making jokes and could not master the joke skills. Without thinking much, he carried Zhang Xiaomei to the door, put his arms around her waist and asked her to lean up.
Outside, there is a sand lake below. The foundation is as high as a cliff. Zhang Ning smiled and said, "If you are naughty, I will throw you down."
When Zhang Xiaomei looked back and saw how high she was, her body lost its center of gravity and was out of her control. Zhang Ning, who was holding her, made a gesture to let go. Suddenly, her face turned pale with fright, and she cried "Wow".
Her tears were streaming down her face, obviously she wasn't pretending. Seeing this, Zhang Ning knew that the joke was too big, and hurriedly pulled her up. He felt that her body was so soft and her legs were even weak from fear. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"You are so timid, you can't afford to lose and you still like to tease me."
Zhang Xiaomei felt even sadder for some reason when she heard this. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and turned around to continue crying. She cried so sadly that the attendants standing around her were all blushing. They had to be careful not to injure themselves internally.
Seeing that she was crying non-stop, Zhang Ning hurriedly stopped smiling and went to comfort her. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaomei was really angry. She slouched her shoulders and tried hard to get rid of his hand. Zhang Ning said politely: "It was just a joke. I was so scared just now."
I'm hurting you, why don't I apologize? It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of, do you think I can really leave you behind?"
"I know you won't throw it down on purpose." Zhang Xiaomei choked, "If your hand loosens and I fall to death, you can save yourself the trouble. No one cares about my life or death anyway."
Zhang Ning was silent for a while, then gently beat his left leg with his hand, and sighed: "When the weather is bad, my leg starts to hurt. I don't know when this old injury will heal."
Zhang Xiaomei stopped crying when she heard this. She could easily remember how Zhang Ning's fracture came about. In the fire that night, Zhang Ning didn't care about saving her life. How could no one care about her life or death?
She wiped her face and said with a straight face: "You go in first and put on your clothes."
Zhang Ning then took her hand and walked back. After returning to the room, he glanced at her: "You are really stupid. Even if something happens, I will fall with you and I will not let go."
The little girl's face turned slightly red, she was finally coaxed.
Zhang Ning then put on a robe and a square scarf. He was neither wearing a Suzaku Army uniform nor a yellow brocade robe royal uniform. He was dressed as a common man. In this waterside villa, he looked like a retired civil servant and landlord, but as a gentry he was
The style doesn't quite match her either, because she's too young.
He ate some light porridge and vegetables, then went to the open hall to sit quietly and watch the scenery, enjoying the leisurely time. Zhang Xiaomei was busy carrying the stove to keep warm. She was not a daughter from a wealthy family, and she knew all the housework.
Even Zhang Ning can let her do it.
After sitting still for a while, Zhang Ning couldn't sit still anymore. It was still raining in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was very cold by the lake. It wouldn't work if there was a fire. It was ventilated here, and the heater would be blown away by a gust of wind. Moreover, the fire was only partial.
If it is exposed to heat, it will only become more and more afraid of the cold.
It might be much more pleasant in summer, but there should be a lot of mosquitoes in summer, especially near water plants and trees. There are no screens, so it would be strange not to be greeted by mosquitoes... But in the fantasy of Jiujiang, the leisurely Taoyuan
There is no cold wind and no mosquitoes. Sure enough, reality is still a little different?
Zhang Ning had no choice but to give up the beautiful scenery. He felt that it would be better to stay in the room. He greeted the person on guard: "It's cold, so there's nothing to move around." The woman with her hair in a bun like a man
After hearing this, the man looked surprised, then he came back to his senses and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "We will change the whistle. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
He went back to the room and read some books for a while, and walked around and thought about things. There were no official documents here, and there was no need to meet with officials, so it felt good... He was not bored at all. After thinking about it, laziness should be a natural part of human beings. Doing nothing is not enough for food and clothing.
Sadness is good.
Listening to the rustling light rain on the roof, he walked to his desk, picked up his brush and wrote a poem: The small building listened to the spring rain all night. Why did he write this poem in winter? Zhang Ning seemed to think of the acquaintance he had met a few years ago.
, this is what Yao Ji wrote casually. It is indeed impossible not to feel her breath. This villa was chosen by her, and it is full of her influence.
The surroundings were extremely "quiet". The sound of rain and gentle waves were the atmosphere of nature, so they were never considered noise. Zhang Ning couldn't help but think about a lot of things sporadically. The most important thing was some memories and details.
Out of the mind... No wonder officials have a special "retreat hall" to sit and think about things. When they are alone, their thinking is indeed more divergent.
Although he passed out from drinking at the banquet yesterday, he remembered one little thing very clearly. Zhang Ning asked Monk Yao to help him drink, but Zhou Mengxiong stopped him. Originally it was indifferent and meaningless, but Monk Yao said something that became very interesting: Xian
Don't blame me, nephew, I also want to drink a cup for you, but Old Hero Zhou doesn't agree.
Is this a casual remark, or does it mean something? In fact, Zhang Ning doesn’t know much about his uncle Yao Monk. He only thinks that he is mysterious and likes to tinker with mysterious things. We are all relatives.
They should help each other, but when it comes to the distribution of power, it seems that it can't be that simple. Monk Yao and Zhou Mengxiong should not vent their anger on the same nose, right? He should be closer to his sister (Yao Ji), and Yao Ji
Ji was always on guard against Zhou Mengxiong.
When we were in Jiujiang, we didn't decide on Jiangxi's personnel. We just said that we would let the cabinet ministers make a decision later. We had already agreed. If Zhang Ning was dissatisfied with the results of the five-person cabinet discussion, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to veto it then.
Zhou Mengxiong himself proposed that he no longer be stationed in Jiangxi and control the military power of the New Army's third battalion. He should be embarrassed to ask for it during the meeting. Monk Yao should follow the trend and separate Zhou Mengxiong's military power? There are three other people, especially Yang Shiqi, who has the title of chief assistant after all.
I hope he can think things through and perform to the level he deserves.
Zhang Ning walked a few steps and went out to call for help. He saw that the guards outside were unknown to him, so he said: "Send people back to the Chu Palace for two things. One is to ask Fairy Peach Blossom and Xin Wei to come here to take care of things, and the other is to send people back to the Chu Palace."
I took Mrs. Zhou over to take care of my daily life."
