After the new year, every family cleaned the courtyard, put up new New Year pictures and window grilles! When the lanterns first came on, the carriages passed through the street, and occasionally the sound of firecrackers would be heard. Tan'er opened the curtain and watched the carriage pass through the pedestrians on the street. Not long after crossing the street, it was Yanheli.
The snow has been swept straight to both sides of the street. There are not many people on the road. There are many courtyards with green walls on both sides. Lanterns are hung next to the gates that are open or closed, and stone lions are erected. Some of these courtyards are hot, some are deserted, and you can't see the inside from the outside. Couplets are pasted on both sides of the gate.
When the carriage passed, people were beating loudly inside, accompanied by the cry of a woman.
On the other side of Ning Mansion, a few figures were also poking their heads to watch the lively scene here. After the carriage drove past, Chan'er and Su Yan and others trotted over, and Tan'er also looked at it, and saw that two women, one big and one small, were thrown out of the gate, and the big one was beaten with blood on the head. Come.
"I heard that it was the fourth concubine of that family. She was not very prudent. She stole money from the family and did not honor her parents-in-law, so she made it out..." Xiaochan said in a low voice, leaning against Tan'er, "I also said this. The fourth concubine had an affair with the servants of the family, her husband did not want to put her in a pig cage or sue the government, but just drove away their mother and daughter..."
Among the high-profile households, sometimes such things happen, and there is no need for too detailed reasons, and it is difficult to say whether the information is true or not. Tan'er shook his head and looked at the street where the mother pulled her daughter to kneel on the ground and cried and kowtowed, but someone threw out the small burden. Under the light at the door, there was a man standing there, watching all this indifferently. , turned around and went in. After the servants closed the door, the woman cried and slammed on the door.
"Where can people go in the New Year's Eve..."
With a sigh, Tan'er, Xiaochan and the others went in from the door. Su Yanping, who was keen on gossip, was still lying by the door and watched. After being stared at by Tan'er for a while, he raised his hand and followed in - there are many things in this family right now. Ning Yi's brand is in it, tilting his head, shrugging his shoulders, snapping his fingers, etc., including some of Ning Yi's neuroticism when confronting the enemy, a bunch of guys have all regarded it as a trend to learn.
Of course, the only thing that can be used as a joke is that the two brothers-in-law don't seem to pick up girls. Similar rumors occasionally reached Tan'er's ears, but when they asked them, no one dared to say it. In fact, if they didn't say it, Tan'er probably understood that he had a lot to do with Nie Yunzhu.
Entering the door is the main courtyard for receiving guests. There is a large lounge next to the main hall, and many of the decorations in it are made by Ning Yi. All kinds of interesting chairs, carpets, and furs are lit by a fire in winter, which is quite warm. It is a place for the family to rest and gather at night. At this time, Wen Fang Wending and others are already inside, and they are quite lively talking about the outside of the city. Things in the compound, new things that are interesting but useless, or ideas on how to make money with new things.
Under Ning Yi's subordinates, this family did not have the estrangement of a high-profile family, or it was not the time for estrangement. Every time I see a group of brothers who are happy and happy, Tan'er sincerely hopes that this scene can last longer.
She is the mistress, but she is also a woman after all. She came over to say hello, left two small snacks, and went back. Not long after, Ning Yi also came back from the prime minister's house with some intelligence files, and when he returned to his room, he said to Xiaochan, "On the way back, I saw a woman at the door next door, with a child crying desperately and slamming on the door. awful… "
"It's the concubine of the fourth room of the master. I heard that people are unpleasant when they are old, so they were kicked out..." The gossip in Xiaochan's mouth changed again, "This is how Xiaochan will be kicked out in the future. "
"You wronged me. The best I can do is spank your ass..."
"Well, uncle, you will start your head..."
Tan'er smiled and watched the two of them come in at the door, and soon after Ning Yi put down the intelligence files he brought back. The family talked and chatted. After dinner, they went outside to gather with Su Wending and others for a while. When they went out for a walk, the concubine and child who had been kicked out of the house next door had disappeared. God, don't know where to go.
Days can pass slowly, and emotional problems can be pressed to the bottom of my heart. In fact, there are still many business affairs by Ning Yi's side. For example, the situation in the country and the North, occasionally he would look through these files. Tan'er could understand what he was going to do. Even though she was a woman, she could still understand Ning Yi's worries many times. Ning Yi did not pay much attention to the current decline of Liao and the specific situation at home and abroad. He just collected and sorted out Jin's attitude in the middle of some intelligence.
"Actually, it can be seen from the information collected from the Jin Kingdom two years ago that these Jurchens are actually very in awe of the Wu Dynasty. When the alliance was fighting against Liaoning, Wanyan Xiyin actually came in person, and I inquired about him. According to the information, this person is very powerful, both civil and military, and he is considered a pro-Wu Dynasty faction, but over the past year, some of his words and deeds have become a little disappointed with the Wu Dynasty... It's too ugly. As for the end People like Yan Zongbi and Wanyan Zonggan, compared with the changes in their attitude towards the Wu Dynasty in the past two years, are actually very scary. It's a pity that the Secret Investigation Division has not collected much of these things..."
While flipping through the information about the Northland from various Secret Investigation Divisions, Ning Yi summarized many details that others didn't care about, and transcribed it with a pen. In the low voice, Tan'er will also participate.
"Can you transcribe these things, will it be useful?"
"It is not necessary to prepare the superiors to be wary of the Jin Kingdom. On the one hand, the Jin Kingdom has few people to attack the Liao Dynasty, and it is assumed that they will not attack the Wu Dynasty. Second, similar to the Jin Kingdom, people are more friendly and take back Yanyun. After the sixteen states, the propaganda that everyone is a brotherhood has been done for a long time. If Jin Guo really wants to fight below, there are many people who want to carry this black pot."
"Because you have to bear the blame, so you have to prepare first, right?"
"The problem is that no one wants to say unlucky words. The Liao Kingdom is still fighting, and the Jin Kingdom is still fighting for justice. Some people stand up and say that the Jin people are likely to continue to fight our Wu Dynasty. Even if it is possible, it will make people below panic. I can only tell Qin Siyuan about these things...Actually, no one in the Secret Investigation Department is worried about this. Look at the pieces of information I have copied. After talking about the attitudes of Yan Zongbi and others, there are many handwritings. The same, it looks like a woman... The Secret Investigation Division Liaodong I, although I don't know who it is, I'm afraid they are the ones who understand Jurchen's temperament best..."
"Woman?" Tan'er became interested, and after reading the information, Ning Yi shook his head.
"Now this world, men are better, if it is a woman... I have seen the days when these pieces of information were sent, and I calculated that this person should have entered the high-level inside Jurchen. I guess who it is already. You must be a slave or a concubine. It is not easy for a Southern Dynasty woman to be willing to do these things…”
Ning Yi shook his head and continued to record: "In fact, these information are not systematic, and it is meaningless to make a threat report. I just want to analyze the personality of everyone at the top of the Jurchen, maybe it will be useful in the future. You can use some small tricks or something... Heh, I always say that those people only use small tactics and can't fight head-on. It's up to me, but it's pretty much the same."
"You just said that you came to help, this is not your business... and there are really few people in the Jin country, maybe they won't be beaten." Tan'er comforted.
Ning Yi nodded and smiled: "Yes, the old problem is committed..."
In the warm room with the lights on, the couple chatted in an urgent and casual atmosphere. The child has been taken away by the nurse, and in the later night, the couple blew out the lights and went to bed. In the warm quilt, their bodies blended together. Not long after, Ning Yi got off the bed, went to the hot water in the coal stove, soaked a towel and wiped Tan'er's body. Tan'er always feels a little shy about this kind of thing. In the years when husband and wife are mostly close to the light and close their eyes, at least this kind of thing to serve a woman is not something a man should do. It seems a bit obscene, but the weather is getting colder. Afterwards, Ning Yi no longer allowed her to toss out of bed. In these years, many illnesses were actually equivalent to waiting for death.
In the early morning of the second day, Ning Yi would get up, or participate in the morning exercise, or light a candle, and deal with the unfinished work in the room. It was also in the early morning that Ning Yi frowned slightly when he saw a piece of information. That was the news about several rebel forces in the surrounding area except the Jurchen after the chaos of the Liao Kingdom. Among the Mongolian tribes, there was a force rising in the northwest grasslands, and it was one of the few forces that developed rapidly. Of course, compared to the speed of the golden man, this force was only taken over by the intelligence.
Qi Yan Bu... Have you heard this name somewhere...
Ning Yi recalled for a while, but did not find a suitable answer from the clues in his mind. He put this simple message aside and did not record it.
At the same time, in the snowstorm in the north, a group of dozens of horses was about to set off for the south. The leading pharmacist Guo drank a bowl of wine and said goodbye to the generals of the Changsheng Army in front of him: "This time I'm heading south, I'm going to visit the current saint! Brothers, when I get back, I'll give you all a while. The field is rich!"
"Such a blizzard, big brother..."
"Haha, I'm waiting for a man from Liaodong, it's all windy and snowy, it's warm after passing Yanmen Pass!" Guo Yaoshi said something, and after a while, he let the horse lean over and patted the general's shoulder, "Chang Shengjun It's up to you, remember what I said, when the snow is small, we will go to catch Ding. I can see clearly, now I don't care who will starve to death or not, and Wu Chao's soldiers will not be beaten. You have to be able to fight yourself. Some people have money, food, and wealth. No one depends on a few armies of the Wu Dynasty. They are concerned about intrigue, and they want to escape first, and they can't fight. You remember clearly... I'll go first. —”
Le turned the horse's head, Guo Yaoshi led the people, gradually disappeared in the southward snow, and passed through Yanmen Pass all the way south to Bianliang.
Soon after, fireworks on New Year's Eve rose in the capital, and Yunzhu's body finally recovered completely. One day after Yuan Xi, she invited Ning Yi over to dinner with a letter. For several months, most of the information between the two could be communicated by word of mouth, but this time it was different. She said in the letter that she wanted to. back home.
I want to go back to the hometown where my parents used to live...
