In the next few days, except for the hustle and bustle of the surrounding world, everything else was normal.
When he returned to Su Mansion, there were more people saying hello, more enthusiasm, more invitations from family members, and more things to refuse. Several students in the academy who had left his class also began to want to return. The relatives came to talk about the item, and so on. As expected, human nature is not such a strange change.
However, after "Ding Fengbo" came out, and some people were vividly talking about the war between the Su and Wu families, more people came to visit the Yushan Academy. The situation was similar at the time, but the people who visited now are a lot more complicated.
For example, businessmen like Puyang Yi from the Puyang family also came to him once and invited him to a party in a certain painting boat, with Miss Qilan to accompany Yunyun. Although Ning Yi had a good impression of the Puyang family, these parties were naturally held according to Convention declined.
In any case, Qilan was not very tempting to him. He occasionally went to the small building and listened to Yunzhu playing the piano and singing. Yunzhu's attainment in this area is incomparable to Qilan, not to mention that he is already familiar with Ning Yi's taste in listening, and sometimes he can sing some quite different songs according to the modern singing method taught by Ning Yi. song.
And even if Qilan's identity is the head of the oiran, there is also Yuan Jin'er's identity as one of the four heads of the line, but she doesn't even want to dance to see it, and she argues loudly all day long. It also drowned out the arrogant feeling of the oiran, but at least there is a true temperament.
A few days later, I had a meeting with Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang. The two old men joked about his nickname of "Ten Steps, One Count", but when it comes to the whole series of layouts, they all have the demeanor of a general. . Then Kang Xian said with a smile: "It's just relative to 'ten steps counts', the bandit name of 'Blood Hands Slaughter' is a bit strange, the old man has been asking people for a few days, but I have never heard of anyone breaking in before. Such a famous…”
The power hidden behind Kang Xian is quite large. Since he is interested in Ning Yi's recent movement, it is not surprising that he will know about Shibupo. He told Qin Lao what Ning Yi participated in that night, Qin Lao frowned: "This kind of thing, cutting the grass and the roots, really got into these Jianghu people, ran a few, and was afraid of future troubles, at this time Is there any result?"
Kang Xian said with a smile: "After knowing about this, I informed the government and issued a sea arrest official document to these strong men. Several nearby states and counties also quickly released it. I heard this morning that one person has been intercepted, and this person has been arrested. He was seriously injured and was killed when he was arrested."
Qin Lao nodded: "Since they are going all out, these people won't be able to hide for a few days."
The two of them are experts in Confucianism. In the past, everyone played chess and chatted, and they talked about some principles of being kind to others. But at this time, Kang Lao opened the door, Qin Siyuan continued, and he didn't even say a word that he was dissatisfied or persuaded about the murder, but he took it as a problem that needed to be dealt with from the very beginning. things to consider.
Kang Xian has been using his influence to intervene in the past few days, but Ning Yi still doesn't know about it. But when I heard it, I couldn't help shaking my head and smiling.
In the past, when everyone played chess for leisure, they probably understood the style of the other party. At this time, it is nothing more than to see a little more clearly. The two old people in front of me, who usually do moral articles, are really unambiguous when they do practical things.
In fact, when everyone talked about this matter, it only revolved around Ning Yi's appearance at that time, pulling back all the more than 20 people who were about to break out of the siege. As for the merchants' actions, the gang fights, and how many people died, Qin Lao and Kang Lao didn't seem to care much. After all, Su Boyong was assassinated first, and it was the right thing to take revenge here. What I really care about is that Kang Xian thinks that Ning Yi should be someone who does big things. loss of the world.
"The telephoto mirror you invented has already been sent to Tokyo, and the research and production are also being stepped up here. At present, there are several finished products, which are of great use in the army." Kang Lao and Qin Lao were playing chess, shaking their heads Shibupo's group of thieves put them aside and talked about the things that really mattered.
"It's just that you are so low-key, it's hard to give you credit, it makes people angry... I have a group of technicians and craftsmen in my family. If you are interested, I would like to assign it all to you, do something, and let them do it. I heard Xiaopei and Junwu say that you are dealing with things related to gunpowder. To be honest, it is not that the military has not studied such things. I know you have ideas, but after all, it is very dangerous. Even if you really use iron, you may injure yourself by the explosion. It's not like the army has tried it. Why don't you talk about your ideas and let others do it."
Nowadays, the military of the Wu Dynasty is also studying gunpowder as a weapon, and there are all kinds of messy designs, but they are always inseparable from flashy evaluations. Kang Xian looked at Ning Yi differently, and didn't want him to be hurt by studying this. Thinking about the disaster relief pamphlet and the telephoto lens, Ning Yi's value is already astonishingly great, not to mention the operational planning ability that has been shown in many small places these days. It's just that he wants to promote his talents for the country. Ning Yi has his own set of ideas. He and Qin Siyuan haven't figured out these ideas yet, so he has to let him go for the time being.
Ning Yi's enthusiasm for muskets only stops there for the time being, mainly due to technical limitations, and it is not yet time to really develop this. No matter how you develop guns, it is not as good as a strong crossbow for the time being. He hadn't figured out what to do next, so he had to shake his head to reject Kang Xian's kindness. If you really agree, it is also a layer of restraint.
"However, how long will the war be?"
When Ning Yi asked about this, Kang Xian also smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, it's still talking about there, Jing Guogong has presided over this matter for several years, although I don't ask much on weekdays, but looking at the current situation, It’s almost time, but now that it’s winter, the weather in Liaodong must be even worse. If we can negotiate, maybe there will be results after the spring… What does Duke Qin think?”
Qin Lao thought about it and nodded: "Although Tong Guan is... ahem, even though he is a eunuch, he does things well in the end, but I'm a little scared now..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Old Qin raised the chess piece for a long time before it fell, and sighed: "I'm afraid of rush."
Kang Xian did not enter the officialdom, but Qin Lao was regarded as a high-ranking person in the past, and now Tong Guan, the Duke of Jingguo, was also below him at the beginning, and he may have to control it. It's just that Qin Lao usually doesn't talk much about these things. At this time, he just said a few words and put aside the topic, but Ning Yi can probably see that the old man should be concerned about it, but he is reluctant to say more.
Playing chess with Kang Lao and Qin Lao, saying that there are not many political matters after all, most of the time, it is still some academic issues, some trivial things that happened in Jiangning City, and a few jokes about it.
The time passed by the end of October in such a day, and the relationship between Ning Yi and Su Tan'er became more harmonious. After the cold weather, everyone gathered in the living room at night to chat, play chess and tell stories. It was warm and warm. Su Tan'er was here. A few days still seem busy, but the most worrying thing has basically been done.
From the perspective of the entire Su family, it has been quite busy recently. In the past, the Su family's annual performance and dividends were calculated at the end of November and the beginning of December. But this year, the important stewards from all over the country have come a month earlier, and the work that should be done at the end of the year has also been done one after another. Due to the gathering of a group of relatives and friends, the Su family is also lively and lively every day, with teahouses and restaurants in the daytime, and brothel Chuguan in the evening. Due to this turning point at the end of October, the Su family's signboard is among the business circles in Jiangning. , became louder and louder for a while.
Due to these relationships, Su Tan'er is not very free. After the clan meeting, her cousin, Sultan Hong, often came to accompany her. Ning Yi didn't spend much time alone with her, but the relationship between husband and wife was there anyway. After precipitation, Su Tan'er has an opinion, but she doesn't need to care too much. It was just that when Ning Yi returned home on the afternoon of the fifth day of November, Ning Yi saw Su Tan'er doing something strange.
Although the temperature had dropped, the weather this afternoon was good, Ning Yi went home early, and the courtyard seemed peaceful. Ning Yi thought that no one was there, but after taking a look, she realized that Su Tan'er was sitting in the pavilion, facing the small building where she lived, thinking about something.
In theory, there should be nothing serious after the clan meeting. It's not worth her frowning and worrying like this. Ning Yi glanced at it and was a little puzzled, but Su Tan'er seemed to be fascinated, her expression changed, and she didn't notice him. After a while, seeing her pursed lips, she seemed to have made a decision, stood up, took a deep look at the small building here, turned and walked towards the small kitchen next to her.
The expression that made the decision looked a little childish. It belonged to the expression of a nineteen-year-old girl, but she didn't know what the difficult decision was at this time. Ning Yi shrugged, went back to the room first, and then closed the door shortly after seeing Su Tan'er coming out of the small kitchen in a hurry, probably thinking of something, hurriedly walked to the courtyard door, and looked to both sides for a few minutes. Second-rate. After confirming that no one was there, he returned to the small kitchen and came out with a bundle of dry wood.
Su Tan'er usually pays attention to the rules and regulations. If it is said that she might help someone when moving the goods in the warehouse, she is definitely the image of a lady at home, and she basically does not know how to make a fire and move firewood. But the atmosphere at this time was indeed quite mysterious, Ning Yi secretly looked out of the room, Su Tan'er carried the firewood stick and looked at the small building on her side, and then walked towards the back of the building.
Ning Yi closed the door and followed quietly, only to see Su Tan'er stacking those flammable twigs picked out by the window at the back of the room where he lived. for a while.
Ning Yi was a little dumbfounded, this woman thought for a long time and made a decision, is she going to murder her husband? Or burn to death so cruel
It wasn't long before he realized that the development of things was a little different from what he thought...

Who can guess what Tan Er wants to do ^_^
