son-in-law

Chapter 321 Chapter [-]

Ning Yi didn't know that Lu Hongti had heard his conversation with his wife on the roof before, so naturally he couldn't think too much about her reaction.From the beginning to the end, he could only talk casually, without 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 any extent.It can even be said that even though she doesn't dislike Ning Yi, and even has feelings of admiration, in her heart, she has actually dispelled some of the thoughts and possibility speculations she had when she went down the mountain.The man in front of her didn't exist in the same world as her. With this level of cognition, the rest became easier.

Now that he has decided to return to Jiangning as soon as possible, Ning Yi found an official ship through the Tang family's relationship the next morning.All kinds of wealthy officials and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are intertwined, and the good relationship formed on the way to escape can be influential even in Zhenjiang. Although Tang Xiuxuan is not in Zhenjiang, but knowing that he is leaving, some children of the Tang family or The wealthy and relatives who have been favored also came in a hurry, saying that if there is any trouble in the future, they can come to them, and it must be obligatory. The Su family is a business. They all said politely.

On the way to escape, after Ning Yi fell into a coma, the whole team was also in a dilemma. Later, it was learned that the pursuers wanted to catch Ning Yi. Someone in the team used some means to divert the attention of the pursuers to him as much as possible.For example, when An Xifu and others attacked the bombing camp, sending a special team of people to protect Ning Yi was actually superfluous to attract attention.After Ning Yi was arrested, he had vaguely spelled out the intention of the whole thing, but he didn't intend to pursue what happened in that situation, and the other party was just a small move along the way, not really malicious to harm others.After all, Ning Yi never paid attention to the high moral character of the people around him at that time, and did not regard the other party as a companion. It cannot be said that such a thing happened 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 was about to be abandoned when I left Hangzhou because of the Lou family, can now be opened directly towards the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal by virtue of these relationships.

Su Tan'er has been pregnant for nearly nine months, and every day she delays, the closer she is to the day of childbirth.Therefore, at noon that day, the family boarded the boat. The building boat belonging to the government is currently the largest boat that can be found in inland waterways. Even if it goes up the Yangtze River, it is quite stable along the way.The boat was divided into two floors, and Ning Yi and others were arranged in the room on the first floor where the bumps were least felt. According to expectations, they would rest for a few hours at night, and by the evening of the next day, they would arrive in Jiangning.

On February 28, the tenth year of Jinghan, in the bright spring, a huge building boat sailed upstream slowly across the Yangtze River waterway, with green trees on both sides, and occasionally rice fields, farmhouses and villages flashed in the field of vision.Lu Hongti stood at the bow of the boat watching all this, and informed Ning Yi of his plan to leave.

"After getting off the boat tomorrow evening, I will go north and not enter the city."

Ning Yi was silent for a while: "I know you are in a hurry to go back, but it's not too late for a few days, not to mention that the ideas I want to give you have not been completely sorted out, let's stay for a few more days and take you to take a good look Jiang Ning."

Lu Hongti smiled: "I know you've already sorted it out, this should be your habit, don't procrastinate in everything."

"It's a bad habit..."

"Besides, after you go back, there should still be a lot of things to deal with at home, so there is no need to spend your time entertaining me. Besides, I really have been out for too long this time. It would be better if I could go back one day sooner." One day, after all, I have a lot to do."

Lu Hong's words are sincere, not just being polite, Ning Yi thought for a while: "If it's something at home, there is really nothing to be busy with, it's very simple, but since you..."

"I'm really worried that I've been out in the village for too long, and I'm really thinking about it." Lu Hongti said with a smile.

"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded, "Then I'll get everything ready tonight."

"Thank you very much." Lu Hongti cupped her hands.

"Children of the rivers and lakes, we don't have to say these hypocritical things."

"Hehe..." Hearing what he said, Lu Hongti smiled and trembled all over, "I also wrote you a little book, which is not the kind of cheat book you mentioned in your martial arts stories, but it should be useful to you. You probably won't be able to become a first-class master in the future, but if you continue to practice, after three to five years, you will be more than capable of self-defense."

"I said... What kind of concept is the first-class master you are talking about..."

"The watermelon owner, Liu Tiannan, Chen Fan, his master Fang Qifo, Li Tianrun, Wang Yin, and even Bao Daoyi who were killed by you, who are related to you in Badaoying, can You are first-rate, but you have other ambitions and your foundation is not stable, I am afraid that you will not be able to reach that level in this lifetime." Lu Hong said with a smile.

Ning Yi will naturally not be hit by this kind of thing. If Lu Hongti said that he could single out these people, he would feel that the world is very fantasy. After thinking about it for a while: "Then Fang Shuchang, do they count?"

"Those seven are pretty much the same. Mr. Du Sha, who ranks first, has already reached the first-class threshold. The most powerful one should be that 'Jin Evil Sword' Luo Bingren. It's just that he has always kept a low profile, but the one with the best qualifications is the one who ranks first." The last Qian Luoning, in the future, his achievement should be higher than that of other companions, and you will not be able to reach it. If you work harder in the future... Well, it should be about the same as Fang Shuchang now."

Her martial art is estimated to be at the level of a master at the moment, and the evaluation she said is not wrong. Speaking of this, she looked at Ning Yi for a while, and then murmured with some sighs: "However, the combat power is high. It's not something that can be judged by these..." It's probably because of Ning Yi's perverted mind, his decisive methods and his ability to control people's hearts and humanity, which is very accessible.

Of course, she would not tell Ning Yi directly.After chatting for a few more words, she sighed: "Actually, along the way, there is something I've always wanted to ask..."

"what?"

"Is it really possible to realize what you did in Badaozhuang and what you told Miss Liu?"

Ning Yi glanced at her: "Those who can ask these questions are probably enthusiastic people..."

"Ok?"

"I don't know." Ning Yi said, "I don't know what it will look like if I continue to do it. It may be useful to do it seriously. Maybe some people will achieve something after 100 or 200 years, but it may also be , these things will be buried for four or five hundred years before anyone discovers them. But no matter what, as long as we are within 500 years, we will be considered a step ahead..."

Lu Hongti couldn't understand the meaning of the last sentence of 800 years, but Ning Yi usually said some weird words, and she was used to it, only to see Ning Yi shook his head with a smile, and continued: "You don't have to think about them for now. ...Of course you can think about it, but you can't do anything. You should do some practical things first. To be honest, the siege of Hangzhou has been lifted, and I don't know if I have gone to Beijing now. This is necessary, and... if you really poke something serious in the future, you may have to go to you."

"Huh?" Lu Hongti blinked her eyes, quite interested.

"People always do things like this. At the beginning, you just want to do something. You will meet all kinds of people and things in the middle, offend people who are not easy to offend, and use methods that should not be used. In the end... I'm afraid These things overwhelm the original intention. Do you know that most of the officials in the court are capable, and at the beginning, they also have a heart of patriotism and service to the country, but gradually, the interests behind them are different, The direction is different, and the interests that need to be protected now are more important than what I thought at the beginning. I am probably no different from them, and... I am afraid that I will be more unscrupulous than them, and one day in the future, I will have to become a bandit. "

"I welcome." Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Hongti said with a smile, "To put it too exaggeratedly, if only this day really happened, I'll be waiting for you."

"I'll do my best to restrain myself."

Both of them laughed, and after a while, Lu Hongti looked back and saw that Su Tan'er and others were not there, so she said softly: "Your wife is actually very kind to you. Do you know? I'm monitoring her in Huzhou During that time, the servants around said that if you really died, your wife would probably ignore the fetus in your womb and follow you down. It is really amazing for a woman to be able to do this. I like you, I...I admire her a little."

Ning Yi Su Rong nodded: "...I know."

"Then what about Miss Nie in Jiangning? She is also a good woman. I know that she had a rough life in the early years and was degraded, but she has always kept herself clean, and now she likes you wholeheartedly. If you abandon her, she will have nothing. What are you going to do?"

Surprisingly, Ning Yi didn't hesitate much about this question: "What do you think?"

"I don't know...but you men always have more than three wives and four concubines. Oh, but you always meet good women, and that Miss Liu..."

"Hey." Ning Yi turned his head to look at her with a smile, "This is too much, there is no need to drag everything on me..."

"You answered so quickly just now, which means that you have been thinking about this all the time, and you are not heartless." Lu Hongti said with a smile, "What is your result? What is the result of your thinking?"

Ning Yi looked at her: "What do you think if I split up with Yunzhu directly for Tan'er, and never communicate again?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Hongti frowned slightly.

"Then what do you think if I just leave the Su family just because of Yunzhu?"

"..."

Lu Hongti frowned, but still didn't answer. Although this is the era of three wives and four concubines, but the idea of ​​being single-minded towards men is weaker. The reason why Lu Hongti asked this question is probably because he hopes that Ning Yi himself is a relatively perfect woman. of people.

Ning Yi looked down at his hands, the back of his hand, and his palm: "Actually, for a while, I wanted to leave the Su family for Yunzhu, but I didn't make it. Recently, I was actually thinking about separating from Yunzhu for Taner ,but……"

Ning Yi shook his head, smiled, and finally said nothing.Lu Hongti pursed her lips, and then smiled slightly, as if she felt that Ning Yi would also have such tangled moments.The two chatted like this for a while, and at night after dinner, the boat stopped at a village on the way, where they rested at night and rented a farmhouse to live in.After lighting up the lamp and settling down, Lu Hongti heard Ning Yi's voice from the yard: "But there used to be a scholar named Ning Caichen, he..."

Xiao Chan was talking: "Young master... Uh, I've heard this story before..." Although Xiao Chan and Ning Yi have been married for a while, she often blurts out that Ning Yi is called uncle.

"Listen to it and listen to it again."

Lu Hongti knows that the relationship between this family is quite harmonious, chatting at night, telling stories or playing chess and cards, even if maids like Juan'er Xing'er embroider the soles of their shoes, Ning Yi can always find something to do with them Do.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 this kind of day, you can enjoy 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 hadn't finished listening to.When she came out, Su Tan'er and others also waved to her. She moved a stool and sat down beside Su Tan'er, the place farthest from Ning Yi.

"...But it is said that after Ning Caichen met Nie Xiaoqian in Lanruo Temple...Yan Chixia yelled 'the world is boundless, the universe uses the law', and the eight swords flew towards the old demon of Montenegro at the same time...Finally, Nie Xiaoqian told Ning Caichen After saying this..."

The starlight was blurred, Ning Yi sat there, finished this not too long story, and after finishing speaking, under Xiaochan's appeal, he told a fairy tale called "Plum Girl". Red to talk.

After the story was told, it was late at night.The next morning, the official ship set off early in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was already approaching Jiangning. Lu Hongti packed her small luggage and prepared to disembark near Jiangning.

"The story I promised to tell you last time is finally finished."

"I thought you had to keep a close eye on the second story."

"Isn't it a thousand and one nights..."

When handing over the written booklet and other things to her, Ning Yi said so, then laughed, and handed her a stack of silver notes: "A total of 4000 taels of silver, the limit that can be taken out recently, should be mine. Invest, or be the Su family's investment."

Lu Hongti frowned: "Our side...doesn't lack these..."

"Money can make money. It's not for your internal use. It's about buying things from those merchants and putting these investments into operation. These banknotes can be exchanged in the customs, and they won't refuse to accept them. Good weapons and armor are the most important. Training soldiers You also need to invest, you need to eat, but don’t raise lazy people, let them eat, live and suffer together, practice to death, oh, these are the things you know best after all. Force is the foundation, and it can be expanded by economic operation , everything is inside, your grandpa Liang is very powerful, show him. I am still waiting for one day to take refuge with you."

"Then I'll wait for that day to come sooner." Lu Hongti took the bank note, looked at him with a smile, hesitated to speak, but finally said with a smile, "Whether it's Miss Su or Miss Nie , treat them well, they deserve this, and you... deserve them. Don't let them down, don't mess it up."

Ning Yi nodded: "Yes, I will tell you a story next time, and I will also listen to you about Luliang. If you have any troubles, you can find me in the capital, and I will stand by your side."

Lu Hongti looked at him, the expression on his face changed, he was silent for a moment, and nodded with an open-minded smile: "Okay."

Lu Hongti got off the boat on the north bank of the Yangtze River. After talking about the meeting, Ning Yi returned to the boat. They watched this lonely woman with strong martial arts riding a horse and gradually walking away in the mountains over there.

Half an hour later, the ship entered Jiangning and docked at the pier.

Jiangning is still the lively scene in the past. There are people coming and going on the pier. They went to the nearby Sujia warehouse to pick up the carriage. The shopkeeper here came to see Su Tan'er and Ning Yi, and then said something about the recent past. Changes in the home during this time.In fact, Su Tan'er said at the beginning that he was going to Hangzhou to relax. If everything was fine, the Su family might be quiet. There will definitely be movement in Sanfang, and what will change in such a long time must have changed a lot.

Listening to the message brought by the shopkeeper, Su Tan'er leaned against Ning Yi, just smiled faintly, and Ning Yi then helped her into the carriage.

The setting sun had already set, rendering the remnant red of spring in the distance: "Let's go." They looked at the street scene of Jiangning in the distance, "Look at what the house looks like."

The carriage passed the street, the sun fell, the wind swayed the willow trees on the roadside, as if thinking of them waving hands, Ning Yi looked at the distant scene through the car window, the tributaries of the Qinhuai River occasionally turned out of view, the setting sun Waves of light rippling on the water.Ning Yi knows that there will be a small building on a certain river bend in this city, and there is a person waiting there for his return...

Of course it will continue...
