When she ran out of the house in the early morning, Xiaochan had already returned to her room to pack her things, and Juaner and Xing'er had also gotten up to help.
In the past few days, he stopped in front of Nie Yunzhu's small building, and cooperated with Lu Hongti to teach him the breathing rhythm and exercise method, and basically he would not sweat. When he arrived there, Nie Yunzhu was already waiting in front of the small building, and a yellowish light came out from the rear window.
"...Xiaochan's father passed away, so I will probably accompany her back to the house in the past few days. After the first seven days, I can only come back after the burial. I probably won't run over these days."
"I-I'm not waiting for you here..." Nie Yunzhu blurted out these words, but then he was slightly embarrassed and lowered his head, "Uh, I also waited for Liheng to come over and talk, but, drinking tea here, wait It's actually quite interesting at dawn, I'm used to it." She smiled slightly, then paused: "It's time for you to leave the city at this time, what if there are too many refugees in a few days, and the city gate is closed? "
"It shouldn't be so fast. The floods in the nearby prefectures and counties are not serious. If you go further to Jiangzhou, it will take a while to come here. If you really want to close the city gate, it will take about half a month. After that or at the end of July, Xiaochan and I will be able to return in five days. Even if the worst happens, the army will escort them out of the city to cook porridge and rice every day. With the relationship of the Su family, We can follow in, no problem."
"Yeah." Nie Yunzhu nodded, "But after all, it's the disaster victims who came here, and I'm afraid that someone will rape or steal money and property halfway, you still have to be careful."
Hearing her talk about this, Ning Yi laughed: "It's okay, I'm a martial arts master now, and people in the world are called bloody people slaughter, you will know later, not to mention Geng guards with the golden ring knife and the others are following, the problem Not much."
He waved his bandaged left hand, which looked very windy, in the air a few times. One of the cloth strips flew up in the air. Nie Yunzhu was next to him and caught it. She was stunned for a while, then blinked her eyes silently. He pulled Ning Yi's left hand over, wrapped the bandage for him before letting go, then turned around and sat away a bit. It seemed natural, and after all this was done smoothly, her face was actually hot and her heart was pounding. Fortunately, the light was not enough at this time, so Ning Yi probably couldn't see much, and only heard her whispering softly: " And what about..." Still feeling a little bit complaining about the injury to his left hand.
"Heh." Ning Yi smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After a while, he asked, "Yunzhu... How was the situation at home in the past?"
"Huh?" Nie Yunzhu looked over with wide eyes.
"Oh, I know it's a bit presumptuous, but... I want to know."
Nie Yunzhu's face turned red again. In the past, she would never have wanted to talk about this in front of others, but now Liheng said that he wanted to know more, and it seemed that the situation was a bit complicated. She thought about it for a while.
"My ancestral home was originally in Xuanzhou, and it was also an official family. My father was very fond of me. When I was a child, I asked someone to teach me poetry and songs... When I was young, I was also called a talented girl, but when I was ten years old, my father committed a crime... I I entered the Jiaofang Division, and then... Liheng wanted to know what things..."
Although she was in a complicated mood and didn't mind telling Li Heng about it frankly, she only had a few simple words to say. She asked Ning Yi what she wanted to know. Ning Yi thought about it and said softly: " At home... Are there any relatives who can be found now?"
Nie Yunzhu shook his head: "I can't find it... My father and mother, I heard that they both passed away on the way to the distribution, and an aunt heard that she remarried, maybe there are other relatives... In fact, I could have gone back to Xuanzhou to find them in the past few years. Look, but... but my parents are dead anyway..."
When I whispered back, I was about to cry. Ning Yi treated her a little calmly before saying, "In the past... Yunzhu should know the old man who set up a chess booth who used to push a cart every day, but now he also walks around. The other is the concubine, named Kang. Xian, you went to deliver Songhua eggs, and you also helped to take care of them during the Dragon Boat Festival."
Nie Yunzhu took a breath, and the tip of his nose was slightly red, but at this time he smiled and nodded: "Well, now I see you and say hello, the old man Qin is very kind, and the concubine also went to the store to drink porridge a few times and ate it. thing."
"Master Qin is a scholarly family. He is a good person and has a good sense of self-cultivation. I've been thinking recently, if he wants to accept you as his righteous daughter, what do you think, Yunzhu?"
"I... I?" Nie Yunzhu was stunned, his eyes widened, and after a while, Fang was at a loss, "This... how is this possible..."
"I said yes, yes."
"But... Liheng, of course you said that!" Nie Yunzhu was a little anxious, frowning, "I, I was in the Golden Wind Building after all... Liheng, you said this, isn't it embarrassing..."
Ning Yi smiled: "People also have this idea."
"How, how is it possible..."
"Heh, we were chatting together a few days ago and happened to be talking about you, Yunzhu. I told the two old people about how you learned to kill chickens and sell pancakes, and then... I came to this point, Consort Kang. Grandpa also said that he wanted to accept you as his righteous daughter, but to be honest, it is really troublesome to want a title of county master. Qin Lao's side is easier. The old man has a good temperament. Officer, with these two older brothers, no one will dare to bully you in the future."
Nie Yunzhu sat there and looked at him, after listening to him finish saying this, he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression: "Liheng... why did Liheng do such a thing..."
"Tsk, they took the initiative to bring it up while they were talking, it's none of my business." Ning Yi spread out his hands, then laughed, "But they actually like your temperament and character, and my utilitarian heart is more important. As for Mr. Qin, he used to be a high-ranking official, and he was guilty of a few things. He played chess there every day, but if he has a wide network of contacts and influence... Jiang Ning may not know many people, but he is definitely not weak. Two more big brothers, in the future, no one will dare to find fault when they do some business and sell some Songhua eggs or something. Everyone, I will also get a little bit cheaper. To be honest... I also think they will accept me as their adopted son or something. No matter what you do in this world, you can't do well like a great old man, but everyone has been playing chess for a long time, and this matter is not very reliable, and there is no such opportunity... "
Nie Yunzhu burst out laughing over there, as if he couldn't restrain himself after laughing like that, raised his head and lowered his head. To be honest, she couldn't help but look beautiful when she laughed. After bowing her head, she sat with her hands on her knees and her forehead against her arms, but it was a little strange to smile. Ning Yi waited for a while and saw her Sitting there with his forehead on his head and crying, the light of the oil lamp behind illuminated the side face with teardrops.
Ning Yi sighed, and after she cried for a while, she said, "Hey, this reaction is not good."
"I... I... my status... will cause trouble for the elderly... "
"There is no trouble. For others, if you are diligent in the officialdom, there may be trouble, but for him, for you, there is no. If I say no, there is no!" Even if someone really gossips, Ning Yi can Make up some stories, get some hype tactics, and guide your reputation in the direction you need.
"I just happened to be out of the city these few days, you should think about it. Don't think it's a high-profile or something. If you recognize this adopted father, you are a family. From now on, he will treat you as a daughter, and you have to serve him like a father. He is old and sick. Now, you have to take care of him from time to time. Old Qin has a good personality and is a good person, so you chose him as your adoptive father. If not, you should ignore him. It's not like... having a great adoptive father is to prove to others What, it's just... just have a home from now on."
Nie Yunzhu sat there and sobbed, Ning Yi raised a hand to pat her on the back, thought about it, then took it back and sat there waiting for her to vent her emotions. Not long after, the morning light was slightly revealed, and Nie Yunzhu wiped his eyes and sat up with a smile. Her cry was not because of sadness, so the smile was natural, but her eyelids were red.
Not long after, Ning Yi was about to get up and go home. After the two sides said goodbye and took two steps, Nie Yunzhu stopped him from behind: "That... that... I thought of something..."
"Huh?" Ning Yi turned his head, and the woman smiled awkwardly with red circles under her eyes.
"That... Liheng, Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang's concubine are the same generation, right?"
"Well, I usually play chess and chat, but I don't have any seniority."
"Then... If I really consider Mr. Qin as my adoptive father, wouldn't I call you Uncle Liheng?" She tilted her head, thinking about things playfully, "If there are three of you chatting there, When I came to see the ceremony, do I want to say: 'Hello, Uncle Kang, Uncle Liheng' and then you answer Yunzhu's niece well... I'm older than you..."
She held back her laughter with a distressed look on her face. Ning Yi opened his mouth slightly, froze there for a while, then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he pointed at her helplessly: "Looking for trouble." Turned around and walked forward.
The laughter from the rear came, "Pfft", and in the morning light, a happy smile like a silver bell. Although he didn't look back, he could vaguely "see" Nie Yunzhu's playful and happy expression covering his mouth in his mind. Ning Yi smiled and walked straight forward.
"Be careful these days, don't get hurt again."
Shouting came. Ning Yi raised his right hand and shook it to the back: "Got it!"
It is not a trivial matter for two families to become one family. Nie Yunzhu explained the matter here and gave her a few days to think about it. Next, it was time to accompany Xiaochan out of the city for the funeral.
All the way back to the Su Mansion, the things that should be prepared have been prepared. A carriage is loaded with a lot of things, and there is also Geng Huyuan who is used to walking around the rivers and lakes with a big knife. The driver is named Dong Zhu. It's the guy who entered the house last year. Xiaochan wore a plain white dress with black ribbons on her body. She was dressed as a pitiful maid, but she probably only cried last night, and she probably didn't sleep well all night, and she had dark circles under her eyes that were a little tired. Ning Yi patted her head, she sniffed and smiled at Ning Yi.
"Uncle, I'm fine."
After the four of them expired, they said goodbye to Su Tan'er. They probably told Ning Yi what to do if the city gate was closed and let Ning Yi take care of Xiaochan. The carriage left Su Mansion, Jiangning, and went to Xiaochan's hometown. A small mountain village named Nanting Village drove to…
