Ning Yi didn't know that Lu Hongti had heard his conversation with his wife on the roof before, so naturally he couldn't have too many associations with her reaction. From the beginning to the end, he could only speak casually, not much scheming. He does not mean that.
Of course, even under certain circumstances, a heroine like Hong Ti will be extra emotional, but it doesn't mean that her heart will be touched to what extent. It can even be said that even though she doesn't dislike Ning Yi, and even has admiration and admiration, in her heart, she has actually dispelled some thoughts and speculations about the possibility when she went down the mountain. The man in front of her does not exist in the same world as her. With this recognition, the rest will become simple.
Now that it has been decided to return to Jiangning as soon as possible, the next morning, Ning Yi also found an official ship through the relationship of the Tang family. All kinds of rich officials and businessmen in Jiangnan are intertwined, and the good fate forged on the road of escape can be influential even in Zhenjiang. Although big men like Tang Xiuxuan are not in Zhenjiang, but when they know that he is leaving, some children of the Tang family or The wealthy and relatives who have been favored also rushed over, and they all said that if there is any trouble in the future, they can find them. All will be polite.
On the way to escape, after Ning Yi fell into a coma, the entire team was also in a dilemma. Later, they learned that the pursuers wanted to capture Ning Yi, and someone in the team had used some means to make the pursuers pay attention to him as much as possible. For example, when An Xifu and others attacked the bombing camp, they specially sent a team to protect Ning Yi. After Ning Yi was caught, he vaguely spelled out the intention of the whole thing, but he didn't intend to pursue what happened in that situation. After all, Ning Yi never expected the people around him to be of high moral character at that time, and did not regard them as companions, so such a thing happened. Nor can it be said to be completely unexpected.
Now that they are back, they are willing to form a good relationship, so there is no need to be polite. The business that he planned to give up because of Lou's family when he left Hangzhou can now be directly spread to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal through these relationships.
Su Tan'er is nearly nine months pregnant. With each day of delay, the day of giving birth gets closer. Therefore, at noon that day, the family boarded the boat. The official building boat is the largest boat that can be found in the inland waterways. Even if it goes up the Yangtze River, it is quite stable along the way. The boat has two floors. Ning Yi and others were placed in the room on the first floor where they felt the least bumpy feeling. As expected, they would rest for a few hours at night, and by the evening of the next day, they would arrive in Jiangning.
On the twenty-eighth day of the second month of the tenth year of Jinghan, in the bright spring light, a huge building boat sailing upstream slowly passed the Yangtze River waterway, with green trees on both sides. Occasionally, the rice fields, farmhouses and villages of Qianmo flashed in the field of vision. Lu Hongti stood on the bow watching all this, and informed Ning Yi that he was going to leave.
"After disembarking tomorrow evening, I'll head north. I won't enter the city."
Ning Yi was silent for a while: "I know that you are in a hurry to go back, but it's not bad for the past few days, not to mention the thoughts I want to give you have not been completely sorted out, stay for a few more days and show you a good look. Jiang Ning."
Lu Hongti smiled and said, "I know you've already sorted it out. This should be your habit. Don't procrastinate."
"It's a bad habit..."
"And after you go back, there should be a lot of things to deal with at home, and then you have to take care of me. It's unnecessary. Besides, I've been out for too long this time. It would be better if I could go back one day earlier. One day, after all, I have a lot to do."
Lu Hong's words were sincere, not just polite. Ning Yi thought for a while: "If it's something at home, there's really nothing to be busy with, it's very simple, but since you..."
"I'm really worried that I'm in the stockade. I've been out for too long. I'm thinking about it." Lu Hongti said with a smile.
"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded, "Then I'll get everything ready tonight."
"Thank you." Lu Hongti cupped his hands.
"Children of Jianghu, we don't have to say these hypocritical words."
"Haha..." Hearing him say this, Lu Hongti smiled and trembled all over, "I also wrote a small book for you, it's not the kind of cheats you mentioned in those martial arts stories, but it should be useful to you, in the future. You probably won't become a first-class master, but if you keep practicing, after three or five years, you'll have more than enough defense."
"I said... What kind of concept do you mean by a first-class master... "
"The owner of the Watermelon Village, Liu Tiannan, the manager, Chen Fan, his master Fang Qifo, Li Tianrun, Wang Yin, and even Bao Daoyi, whom you killed, can It's a first-class, you have distractions, and your foundation is unstable, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach that level in this lifetime." Lu Hong said with a smile.
Naturally, Ning Yi would not be hit by this kind of thing. If Lu Hong mentioned that he could fight against these people, he would feel that the world is very mysterious.
"Those seven are almost the same. The number one Mr. Du Sha has reached the threshold of the first-class, and the most powerful one is Luo Bingren, the 'Evil Saber', but he has always been low-key, but the most qualified is the ranking In the end, Qian Luoning, in the future, his achievements should be higher than other companions, and you will not be able to reach it. If you work harder in the future... Well, it should be similar to the current Fang Shuchang."
Her martial arts are probably at the level of a grandmaster at the moment, and the evaluation she said is not wrong. After saying this, she looked at Ning Yi for a while, and then she sighed in a low voice: "However, the combat power is high. What's the matter, it's not something that can be judged by these..." Probably because he thought of Ning Yi's perverted nature, his decisive means and always able to control people's human nature in the palm of his hand, which is very accessible.
Of course, she wouldn't say this directly to Ning Yi. After chatting a few more times, she sighed: "Actually, along the way, there's something I've always wanted to ask..."
"what?"
"Is it really possible to do the things you did in Ba Dao Zhuang and tell Miss Liu?"
Ning Yi glanced at her: "Those who can ask these questions are mostly enthusiastic people..."
"Um?"
"I don't know." Ning Yi said, "I don't know what it will look like if I keep doing it. If I do it seriously, it may be useful. Maybe some people will achieve something in a hundred or two hundred years. Possibly. These things will be buried for four or five hundred years before anyone finds them. But no matter what, as long as we are within eight hundred years, we will be a step ahead..."
In the last eight hundred years, Lu Hongti could not understand what it meant. But Ning Yi usually said some weird words, and she was used to it, she saw Ning Yi smiled and shook his head, and continued: "You don't have to think about them for now... Of course, you can think about them, but you can't do anything. There, let's do some pragmatic things first, to be honest. The siege of Hangzhou has been resolved, and I don't know if I have the need to go to Beijing, and... If it is really a big mess in the future, it may be I have to go to you."
"Huh?" Lu Hongti blinked, quite interested.
"People always do things like this. At the beginning, they just want to do something. In the middle, you will meet all kinds of people and things, and you will offend people who are not easy to offend. You use means that you shouldn't use, and in the end... I'm afraid these Things overwhelmed the original intention. Do you know? Most of the officials in the imperial court are capable. At the beginning, they also had a patriotic heart to serve the country, but gradually, the interests gathered behind them were different, the direction It’s different, the interests that need to be safeguarded are more important than the original idea. I’m probably no different from them, and… I’m afraid I’ll be even more shy than them, and one day, I’ll have to be a thief.”
"I welcome." Without any hesitation, Lu Hongti said with a smile. "It's too much to say, it would be nice if there was such a day, I'll be waiting for you."
"I'll try my best to restrain myself."
Both of them laughed, and after a while, Lu Hongti looked back and saw that Su Tan'er and the others were not there. Fang Cai whispered: "Your wife is actually very good to you. Do you know that? During the time I was monitoring her in Huzhou, the servants around said that if you really died, your wife might even have a fetus in her womb. I will ignore you and go with you. If a woman can do this, she really likes you, I... I admire her a little."
Ning Yi nodded solemnly: "… I know."
"Then what about that girl Nie from Jiangning? She is also a good woman. I know that she had a rough life in the early years and was in the dust, but she has always kept herself clean and now she loves you wholeheartedly. If you abandon her, she will have nothing. now. What do you do?"
Surprisingly, Ning Yi didn't hesitate much about this question: "What do you think?"
"I don't know... but your men always have three wives and four concubines. Oh, good women always let you meet, and that girl Liu... "
"Hello." Ning Yi turned his head and smiled at her, "This is too much, there's no need to pull everything on me..."
"You answered so quickly just now, it means you've been thinking about this all the time, but it's not heartless." Lu Hongti said with a smile, "What about your result? What is the result you came up with?"
Ning Yi looked at her: "What do you think if I break up with Yunzhu for Tan'er's sake and don't interact again?"
Lu Hongti frowned slightly when he saw that he did not speak.
"Then if I leave the Su family just for Yunzhu, what do you think... Lu Hongti frowned, but still didn't answer. Although this is the age of three wives and four concubines, it's just that the idea of men being single-minded is lighter. , Lu Hongti asked because he hoped that Ning Yi himself was a relatively perfect person.
Ning Yi lowered his head and looked at his hand, the back of his hand and his palm: "Actually, there was a time when I wanted to leave the Su family for Yunzhu, but I didn't do it. Recently, I was actually thinking about separating from Yunzhu for Tan'er. ,but… "
Ning Yi shook his head, smiled, and said nothing in the end. Su Tan'er pursed her lips, and then smiled slightly, as if she thought that Ning Yi would be so troubled. The two chatted like this for a while, until after dinner at night, the boat stopped in a village on the way, rested here at night, and rented a farmyard to live in. After turning on the lamp and settling down, Lu Hongti heard Ning Yi's voice from the yard: "But there was a scholar named Ning Caichen, who..."
Xiaochan was talking: "Uncle... uh, Xianggong, I've heard this story before..." Although Xiaochan and Ning Yi had been married for some time, she often blurted out that Ning Yi was called Uncle.
"Listen and listen again."
Lu Hongti knew that the relationship between the family was quite harmonious. They chatted in the evening, told stories or played chess and cards. Ning Yi can always find something to do with them. She walked out the door, and sure enough, Su Tan'er was also sitting under the eaves over there, after all, the weather was getting warmer. On such a day, you can watch the moon and stars in the yard. Of course, at the end of the month, there are only stars in the sky.
What Ning Yi was talking about was the story called "A Chinese Ghost Story" that she had heard more than a year ago but had not finished. When she came out, Su Tan'er and others also waved to her. She moved a stool and sat down beside Su Tan'er, farthest from Ning Yi.
"...But it was said that after Ning Caichen met Nie Xiaoqian in Lanruo Temple... Yan Chixia shouted, 'Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law', and the eight swords flew to the old demon of Montenegro at the same time... Finally, Nie Xiaoqian finished talking to Ning Caichen. Words…”
The starlight was blurred, Ning Yi sat there and finished the story, which was not too long. At Xiaochan's appeal, she told a mysterious story called "Mei Nu", but she did not submit a discussion with Lu Hong from beginning to end.
After the story is over. It was late at night. The next morning, the official ship set off early in the morning, and by the afternoon, it was already close to Jiangning. Lu Hongti packed up his small baggage and prepared to disembark near Jiangning.
"The story I promised to tell you last time is finally over."
"I thought you had to sell the second story."
"Isn't it a thousand and one nights..."
When he handed her the booklet and other items he had written, Ning Yi said this, then laughed, and handed her a stack of silver notes: "A total of 24,000 taels of silver. The limit that I can take out recently is me. investment, or be the investment of the Su family.”
Lu Hongti frowned: "We don't lack these..."
"Money can make money, it's not for your internal use, it's to buy things from those merchants, and then put these investments into operation first. These banknotes can be exchanged within customs, so they won't refuse to accept them. Good weapons and armor are the most important, and training is the most important thing. You also need to invest, eat and use, but don’t raise lazy people, let them eat, live and suffer together, practice to death, ah, after all, these are the things you know best. Force is the foundation, and it can be expanded by economic operation. , everything is inside, your grandpa Liang is very powerful, show him. I'm still waiting for one day to take refuge with you. "
"Then I'll wait for that day to come earlier." Lu Hongti accepted the bank note and looked at him with a smile, hesitant to say anything, but finally said with a smile, "Miss Su or Nie is okay. , treat them well, they deserve it, and you... deserve them. Don't let it go, don't screw it up."
Ning Yi nodded: "I know, I will tell you a story next time, and I will also listen to you about Lu Liang. If you have trouble, you can come to the capital to find me, and I will be on your side."
Lu Hongti looked at him, her expression changed, she was silent for a moment, then nodded with an open-minded smile, "Okay."
Lu Hongti got off the boat on the north bank of the Yangtze River. After saying that there would be a period in the future, Ning Yi returned to the boat. They watched the woman with high martial arts skills but a single woman riding a horse and gradually walking away in the mountains over there.
Half an hour later, the ship entered Jiangning and docked at the dock.
Jiangning was still the lively scene of the past. People came and went on the dock. They went to the nearby Sujia warehouse to pick up the carriage. The shopkeeper here came to see Su Taner and Ning Yi, and then they also talked about some recent news. Changes in the home during this time. In fact, Su Taner said at the beginning that she was going to Hangzhou to relax. If everything was ok, the Su family might be quiet, but since the outbreak of the Hangzhou war, after Ning Yi and others lost news there, the second room of the Su family There will definitely be movement in the third room, and it must have changed a lot since such a long time.
Listening to the message from the shopkeeper, Su Tan'er leaned beside Ning Yi, just smiled faintly, and Ning Yi then helped her onto the carriage.
The setting sun has already set, rendering the redness of spring in the distance: "Let's go." They looked at the street scene of Jiangning in the distance, "Look at what the home has become."
The carriage drove across the street, the sun was falling, and the wind was blowing the willow trees by the roadside, as if thinking of them waving their hands, Ning Yi looked at the distant scene through the car window, the tributaries of the Qinhuai River occasionally turned out of sight, the setting sun waves rippling on the water. Ning Yi knew that there would be a small building on a river bend in this city, and there was a man waiting for his return... The power outage yesterday afternoon and the internet was disconnected this afternoon. Could it be that my plan for even more has alarmed the old man? God
Of course it will continue... ()! ~!
