Chapter 354 Xinning Light and Shadow Surging Dark Tide
The boat line is steady, the wind is beautiful, after crossing Hongze Lake, all the way along the Bianshui north.
As the section of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, it has not been seen in later generations, but at this time, it connects the north and south waterways, and it is still the most important route in the Grand Canal. Although it is the flood season at this time, the current in the canal is not urgent, and many fishing boats and merchant ships occasionally pass by from the field of vision.
In the cabin room, several pairs of eyes were spinning, and there was a strange feeling of staring at each other. This cabin is not small, but the lineup of three women and one man still looks a little strange at the moment. Regarding what Ning Yi said about everyone sitting together during the day and "working" by the way, Yunzhu, who knew about Lu Dao last night, of course didn't say anything, but when Ning Yi introduced Xiaochan to each other, Xiaochan and Jin'er's expressions were as if they were frightened, they had been connected in private before, but now they don't know how to greet Lu Dao naturally, when Ning Yi was writing something on the desk near the window in the room, Xiaochan and Jin'er sat on one side in a daze, looking at this scene, they could only make eye contact.
Ning Yi said a few nonsense words that everyone can meet like this, it is really fate, of course no one believes it. But believe it or not is not the subject of discussion at the moment. With their understanding of Ning Yi, they thought that this matter would be hidden from both sides before it was uncovered, but Jin'er and even Xiaochan may not have a little careful thought in their hearts that wanted to scare him, and now they really don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
As for Yunzhu, sitting there with a book in his hand, he naturally couldn't stand it at first, his eyes were rolling, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Ning Yi buried his head in writing something, raised his head to look at them, and then propped his hands on the table, holding his chin: "What's wrong?" β
Even though the mentality is mature, the four people in the room are only about twenty years old after all, and they still look young and lively. Ning Yi's expression was interesting, and Jin'er stood up suddenly: "I'll go make tea." She said that. Turn around and walk outside. Xiaochan also hurriedly raised her hand: "I, I'll help ......"
The two of them went out in a panic, Ning Yi touched his earlobe, and when his eyes turned to Yun Zhu's side, he saw that Yun Zhu was looking from behind the book, and when he touched his gaze, he hurriedly drooped down. Just after a while, I saw her simply smile and put down the book: "I, I'm also out to help......"
"Do you need three people to make a cup of tea?" Ning Yi laughed. Yunzhu bowed his head slightly. Then he glanced at him: "Then I'll go to the thatched house...... If it was before she had a relationship with Ning Yi, she might not have said such a thing, but at this time, her face was slightly red, she pursed her lips, and closed the door again, Ning Yi shook her head and smiled.
In the hallway of the cabin outside the door. Jin'er and Xiaochan were indeed whispering, Jin'er pinched her chin with a pensive expression: "There is a strange ......" Xiaochan clenched her fists and was a little embarrassed: "What should I do, my uncle won't be a Zhilu Dao......"
"What do you know?" Jin'er glanced at her, "How is it possible." β
"Uncle is very powerful."
"How powerful can he be, he is not an immortal." Jin'er pursed her mouth, and then turned her head to look at Xiaochan, "And...... You're all his woman now, so why should you be afraid of him. β
"IβI'm not afraid...... I'm afraid of the public. I don't want him to be angry. β
"Did he get angry with you?"
"No, I don't. But I still don't want to make Xianggong angry...... We must be conscious as maids......"
"You're not a maid again!"
"It's the same, so that Xianggong will like ......"
"You're mad at me." Jin'er glared at her. "You are his woman, you should exert the coquettish strength of the vixen, so that he depends on you for everything, I told you yesterday, I also taught you, you have to ......"
She has probably been instilling some weird and weird things into Xiaochan in the past two days, but Xiaochan is also looking at her with a red face. Seeing that this little girl couldn't be taught, Jin'er was also a little discouraged, and when Yunzhu came over from there, she frowned and said, "Sister Yunzhu, what's the matter with him?" β
"I don't know what to do." Yunzhu itself is also strange.
"Why is he like this, Sister Yunzhu...... and Xiaochan...... How can he let you meet, it's too messy......"
They didn't want to do anything messy in the first place, at most, they felt that Ning Yi wouldn't let them meet, so they had a joke before, wanting to see his jokes. After meeting it one day, see how Ning Yi will explain this matter in embarrassment, the person who proposed this idea is naturally Jin'er, who likes to toss and mess around.
After a thousand years, the man may not be reasonable, but it is really not a big deal now, especially after the experience of the Su family massacre, the two sides have more or less an understanding that things cannot be changed. At this time, they were embarrassed.
Of course, even if they were embarrassed at this time, they couldn't do anything, and a few people made tea and went in, each whitewashing the peace. But Ning Yi has a good personality in front of his family, after all, he is not a cannibal guy, for his attitude is restrained for a while, and the feeling of sympathy between each other makes it easier to get along later.
In this way, in this afternoon, Ning Yi buried himself in writing, and Yunzhu sat there reading, and he was already able to settle down. Xiaochan made tea to deal with some trivial chores, and then took a log and sat there to embroider, but after embroidering for a while, she was pulled and whispered by the active Jin'er, and then pulled her to the next room to toss.
Ning Yi occasionally idle and listened attentively, the voices of Jin'er and Xiaochan over there were also small, and they couldn't hear clearly across a bulkhead, but occasionally they could hear Xiaochan's "ah-ah" call, and then listen to the fragmentary sounds, it seemed that Yuan Jin'er was teaching her to lower her waist or something. In all fairness, even though she is too lively and jumpy on weekdays, she has no image in front of Ning Yi, but she can get the reputation of Oiran, and Jin'er is indeed a handsome girl with long legs who is so beautiful that she dances very well. But after listening to it for a while, Ning Yi naturally knew that Lu Dao was not teaching dance, and he was a little speechless for a while, and Yun Zhu was sitting on the edge of the bed, also covering his mouth with a book, looking at him with an interesting gaze.
Xiaochan was tossed for a while, and then ran away in humiliation, Jin'er stretched her body and came in humming a song, triumphant, Ning Yi guessed that most of what she thought in her heart was to teach Xiaochan the middle technique of the room to allow her to compete with Tan'er for favor and make the Su family restless.
It wasn't long before Xiaochan came in again, and the big boat went all the way. Sunlight shines through the open window. Ning Yi occasionally wrote, occasionally thought, and occasionally spoke a few words with a few people. Yunzhu also read the popular romance book at this time, and occasionally saw some poems in it, and if everyone was interested, she would also sing it softly. Although the lyrics are mediocre, under Yunzhu's singing voice, they are tactful to listen to. Xiaochan can sometimes listen to it.
In the evening, when the flotilla came to a halt in the town on the shore, the people came to look for him, and they walked along the rocky beach near the wharf to tell them what was going on the main ship. Sometimes Ning Yi looked over to the side of the main ship, and he would see the little county lord Zhou Pei looking down from the side of the ship. The expression is graceful, and the gaze is generous and natural, but the gaze that swept over Ning Yi's side obviously contained a sense of substitution like becoming a super spy.
As the sun sets, there is a lively atmosphere on the dock and among the fleets, the aftermath of the big water bandits is still not gone, and the celebration of singing and dancing at night is sometimes heard from the main ship. Staggered. Although the defense was not relaxed, Chen Jingui thought that he had already been stunned.
can be appreciated by so many royal families and children of official families. Even if Zhou Pei can help flatter, after entering Beijing, things like promotion and fortune are indispensable.
After that, there was no word for the night, and then at dawn, the fleet set sail. Over the next few days, the fleet traveled most of the road safely. It seems that there is nothing to do every day, and Ning Yi also gets together with Yunzhu, Jin'er, Xiaochan and others, and everyone has their own things to do. Occasionally, he will take out his own songs to show off, but he can't get recognition as usual, Jin'er sticks out his tongue and makes all kinds of weird faces, Xiaochan listens carefully, and Yunzhu will think about helping to change.
It's just that taking a boat every day is really boring. Yunzhu has an indifferent temperament, Xiaochan is also used to being a maid, and she can adapt to most situations, Jin'er is occasionally a little depressed, which is mostly caused by Ning Yi.
In fact, if she only walked with Yunzhu, Jin'er might not feel depressed. It's just that after Ning Yi and Xiaochan were inserted in the middle, the center of everyone inevitably became Ning Yi, she didn't necessarily have any discomfort with this in the past, but in the current situation, Ning Yi and Sister Yunzhu and Xiaochan all have skin to skin kisses, and sometimes there is an intimate feeling between them, which makes her feel as if she has been excluded, she can't lose her temper, and occasionally loses a fight with Ning Yi, so she will inevitably sulk. At this time, Yunzhu had no choice but to comfort her, or Ning Yi would quarrel for a while, she was not a person who held grudges, sometimes Ning Yi deliberately let her discourage, and she would laugh when she was arguing.
When the fleet docked at the end of the Xuzhou border in the evening, it was overcast and windy, and it seemed that it would rain soon. Jin'er and Ning Yi had a fight, and they were angry, and after the boat stopped, they came down to blow the wind and relax, and when they walked to the embankment near the dock, they heard the conversation of a man and a woman in front of them.
In addition to a man and a woman walking in front, the woman was also followed by a maid and a subordinate, and the two chatted, and the man seemed to be saying something about someone punishing corrupt officials somewhere. The man said interestingly, Jin'er took a few looks, she probably knew both of them, the woman with the two servants was the Li Shishi who was said to be known as the Beijing Oiran, as for the man's long body and side face, he was also handsome, which young man was called Wang Xian on the main ship. In the past few days, Ning Yi has mentioned that there is such a person on the main ship, in Ning Yi's mouth, the other party is a handsome guy, comparable to the very beautiful and beautiful little handsome guy she has seen in Yangzhou before, Ning Yi even joked, if she saw it, she might be moved.
Because of this, she had seen this man from a distance once before, and when she heard the voice, she didn't hate it, he said about punishing corrupt officials, which was full of fun, and after finishing speaking, Master Li next to him asked softly: "In this way, the heroes of Liangshan are not indiscriminately killing innocent people." β
The king said: "It's hard for me to say this, after all, it's a rebellion, but in these years, injustice has been everywhere, and the people in the countryside have indeed heard that the heroes of Liangshan are loyal people who do the way for heaven......"
"I see......"
Master Li nodded. Jin'er, who was following behind, was angry for a while, she had heard that Master Li and Ning Yi were old acquaintances. Ning Yi's family was about to be killed, and she actually said here that Liang Shanbo was a good person. I was unhappy in my heart, and even shouted out: "It's all nonsense, nonsense, why do you say that the people of Liangshan are good people!" β
She shouted like this, and the two people in front of her turned around. The king was stunned for a moment, and said with a graceful hand: "This girl is ......"
"You don't care who I am! Why do you say here that the people of Liangshan are good people! β
"It's just hearsay below, if the girl has any ......"
"Hearsay is ......"
Jin'er was shouting, and a figure on the side suddenly walked over, stretched out a hand and hugged her directly: "Jin'er, what are you doing, do you know that Lu Dao Yunzhu has been looking for you for a long time, and you are still arguing with people here." β
It was Ning Yi who came over suddenly, and for a while he almost hugged Yuan Jin'er directly, Jin'er's body stiffened there, stunned for a moment, and Master Li over there was also stunned. In any case, this action was really too intimate, but Yuan Jin'er was still angry, and then struggled and pointed over: "They actually said that Liang Shan is a good person, you ...... Hmm- let go of meβ"
Before she finished speaking, Ning Yi had already grabbed both of her cheeks and pulled them away: "You are not a child again, you are still arguing with people all day long, is it better for the lady to go back with me!" He hugged Jin'er and left, Jin'er only then felt shy, her whole body was hot, and she didn't even know where to put her hands for a while, and she was hugged by Ning Yi and walked away like dough. After walking a few steps like this, Ning Yi turned around and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, the two of you continue to continue, just as if you haven't seen us, go first, and say goodbye." β
After saying this, he hugged Jin'er again and walked away in the direction of going back. Wang Xian watched the two disappear, and said with a smile: "What a strange person." On the side, Master Li frowned and thought about it, but finally didn't say anything.
This kind of thing of hugging Jin'er in public is inevitably a bit too much, but Ning Yi can't do anything for a while, send her back to appease her a little, and hand it over to Yunzhu to settle down. He bumped into Wenren, and it was also this evening that this small wharf at the boundary of Xuzhou was quite lively. Originally, in the battle of Hongze Lake, Chen Jingui's sailors suffered more casualties, and applied for reinforcements on the way. As a result, safety matters were even more secure, and the evening was a celebratory feast as usual, and soon after, the rain fell.
That night, the whole dock slept quite deeply, and the occasional muffled sound of a sober person being knocked unconscious was also hidden in the sudden heavy rain. It wasn't until after midnight, when the showers had subsided, that the first cries were heard. When most of the people woke up from the after-effects of sweat pills, they found that one of the four ships had been silently driven away by the new arrival of more than 100 "sailors" taking advantage of the heavy rain and darkness.
And after the incident in Hongze Lake, the real Shengchengang was transferred to that ship, and at this time it was all robbed...... (To be continued.) )
