In the end, they decided to go to the capital on the 16th of April. They would board the Prince Consort's fleet and head east along the Yangtze River, then north along the Grand Canal, passing through Bianshui to Tokyo. At the moment, this was a relatively busy route for the Wu Dynasty. There were many fleets, so they wouldn't encounter bandits and robbers along the way.
The child at home wasn't even a month old yet, and they had to set off. For the family, it was a rather difficult matter. However, more than a hundred relatives had just been buried, so a child's full moon banquet wasn't much. The only thing about the child's name was that there had been some discussion in the family these few days. Ning Yi was willing to let the child have the surname Su, but after so many things had happened in the family, Su Tan'er insisted on letting him have the surname Ning.
"The first child I have with my Husband must have the surname Ning. In the future, he will inherit my Husband's legacy. At most, my second child with my Husband will have the surname Su … Little baby, isn't that right? Let's have the surname Ning … "
As she said this, Su Tan'er was still on the bed, leaning over to play with the child in the cradle. In the first half, she stared at the child with the demeanor of a strong woman, but in the second half, she became a gentle mother. Ning Yi watched this scene from the side and could only agree in the end. He listed a few names for Su Tan'er to choose from. Tan'er finally chose a simpler and more imposing name, Ning Xi. After all, it was the first child in the family, like the first light of dawn, shining brightly. From then on, the child would be called Little Xi 'er. Ning Yi laughed at her, saying that the child would blame her for choosing so many strokes in the future. Tan'er said confidently that Little Xi' er would grow up to be a great writer in the future and wouldn't be afraid of having too many strokes. It would be a good time to practice. Ning Yi didn't have much confidence in this.
After the name was decided, a few of the elders in the Su family cursed. They said that it was too much to change the child's surname to her husband's family before the family was even divided. However, it was suppressed by Su Yu.
By now, Tong Guan's army had already broken camp and headed north. The army had already crossed the Yangtze River. Ning Yi wanted to go to the capital to see Qin Siyuan earlier because he wanted to officially join the Office of Secret Investigation as soon as possible. He did it for revenge, but Qin Siyuan and Kang Xian's demands were more than that. Although he had made great efforts in Hangzhou and won the praise of the two elders, it would be too arrogant to say that they would fully support him if he wanted to take revenge and deal with Liangshan. Therefore, before going to Shandong, it was the ideal situation to communicate with Qin Siyuan and reach a consensus with each other.
Su Tan'er couldn't move for the time being. Firstly, she was still in her confinement period. If she could recuperate now, she would have to recuperate well. Secondly, there were many problems in the process of the Su family's separation that needed to be sorted out and resolved. Although her business would inevitably move north in the future, she still had to stay at home for a month or two at this time. In this way, Ning Yi's trip to the north would be a good start for her. As long as she could get Qin Siyuan's support, in the next few years, the Su family's business in the north would be smooth sailing.
When Ning Yi went to the capital, Su Tan'er was still in Jiangning. By the time Su Tan'er went to the capital, Ning Yi might have already gone to Shandong. Realizing this and the danger that Ning Yi might encounter, in the remaining days, Su Tan'er seemed to be particularly attached to Ning Yi. Every night, she talked to Ning Yi about things like paying attention to safety, or what interesting things she found on Little Xi'er, or what thoughts she had about the Su family these days. In the past, although she was attached to Ning Yi, she was independent after all. Many things on her mind would not be spoken out until the dust settled. But at this time, she said everything. From time to time, Ning Yi also told her about his thoughts, how he would deal with Liangshan, and many despicable and shameless means. The couple discussed it for a while, and Ning Yi also said that if he encountered danger, he would definitely turn around and run away.
In reality, Su Tan'er talked about those trivial things to make this family have a deeper connection in Ning Yi's heart. How could Ning Yi not understand? On the other hand, after spending so much time together, Tan'er already knew Ning Yi well. So many things, when did Ning Yi not win on the line of life and death? Things like schemes were not reliable. If the person using the scheme did not have enough temperament, no matter how good the scheme was, it would be nonsense. It would not go to the end. But if she kept nagging, it would affect Ning Yi.
He accompanied his wife, played with the child named Ning Xi for a while, and watched the family prepare for his trip. Time passed day by day. Tan'er was in confinement, drinking disgusting chicken soup every day. The weather was starting to warm up. She lay on the bed, with only a thin blouse outside her dudou, revealing her beautiful curves. Even though he was already very familiar with her body, Ning Yi would occasionally be tempted. A wife in her early twenties, and a mother. She had the aura of youth and maturity. When she carried the child, it was a charm. When she talked to him about the trivial matters of the family, it was a charm. Occasionally, she would be playful and talk about the things on her mind, it was another charm.
Xiaochan would occasionally be pulled over. She was going to accompany Ning Yi to the capital, so the time she spent with Ning Yi naturally belonged to her mistress. Tan'er once put her palms together and said to her, "Xiaochan, give me Husband these few days." Xiaochan blushed helplessly and said, "Mistress …" Then she was pulled onto the bed by Su Tan'er. That night, the three of them slept together. Ning Yi slept outside, Tan'er slept in the middle, and Xiaochan slept inside. It was not easy to enjoy the bliss of having multiple partners. When he woke up the next morning, Tan'er was lying on his chest, and Xiaochan was leaning against Tan'er's back. The two women were only wearing dudou and short pants. They had not vented even once the night before, so they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
On the night of the fourteenth, Tan'er pestered Ning Yi and asked him to "get pregnant" in a small voice. She had only given birth to a child for less than twenty days, and she felt that her body had recovered. Because Ning Yi was going to leave, she wanted to get pregnant immediately. Ning Yi naturally refused. She took off her clothes and teased him, but Ning Yi pressed her down on the bed and gave her a spanking. She lay naked on the edge of the bed and said to the child in the cradle with a red face, "Xiao Xi, Daddy bullied me … You have to grow up quickly and protect Mommy …"
This was the side of her that she purposely put on in front of Ning Yi. Late at night, she lay on Ning Yi's neck and cried, "You have to come back soon. You really don't have to risk your life. You know what's important, Liheng … If you get tired of listening to me, then hit me. You have to remember this in your heart. Daddy is already dead, they are all dead. Don't die, you can take your revenge slowly …" This was something she had repeatedly mentioned in the past few days. The closer Ning Yi's departure to the capital was, the more pressing the matter was. Tan'er spoke for a while, then gritted her teeth and tried to stop herself from crying. Ning Yi caressed the skin of her waist and back, and could only make another promise.
In the past few days, Tan'er went to look for Yunzhu once. She went to thank Yunzhu for saving Little Xi'er, but at the same time, it seemed that she also proposed marriage to Yunzhu. The two of them talked about something in the room, and the matter was not mentioned again. Instead, it was said that Tan'er put on airs in front of Jin'er, causing Jin'er to cry out in anger. She repeatedly said that it was a good thing that Sister Yunzhu did not marry over, or else she would be bullied to death. When Ning Yi asked Yunzhu about the content of their conversation, Yunzhu did not say anything, only saying that it was a secret between women.
Tan'er's weakness would only appear in front of Ning Yi at such a special time. In the next few days, if other relatives came to visit because of the separation, she would definitely be dignified and mature. Perhaps only those who were close to Yunzhu could clearly feel her tenacity. On the fifteenth day of the fourth month, everything was ready. Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu came to visit, and Zhou Junwu invited Ning Yi to see a large kite. Under the kite was a long cage.
On this day, a kitten was carried into the sky.
"I've thought about it. Master, you're right. There are too few things that one person can do. I have the power now, so there are some things that I can do. I want to gather a large number of people and carry forward the theory of things. I, Zhou Junwu … want to fly to the sky in my lifetime! "
He had just reached the age where he had turned from a child to a young man, but now that he was talking about the words "in his lifetime", he already had the right amount of confidence. Looking at the large kite being pulled into the distance, the young prince seriously raised his question.
"I know that Master is someone who wants to do great things, and there are some things that I may not understand. But what I want to do, what I can do, is only this. Master, you are going to the capital soon. I have always wanted to ask, Master, in your heart, do you think that what I am doing is meaningful? It's like opening up peace for all ages. Will it really be useful for me to study things in the future? If that's the case, Master can go and do other big things. Let me study things. I … I am considered Master's real disciple, right? "
At this time, many men at the age of twelve or thirteen were already able to get married. Although Jun Wu was young, he was not without the ability to think. Ning Yi studied things and could explain these things clearly, but his attitude seemed to be playing around. This was also something that made Jun Wu feel uneasy. In the end, in Master's heart, this was something very meaningful, but he didn't have the time to do it. If that was the case, the young prince would also feel that his efforts were worth persevering.
Ning Yi looked at him for a long time, then patted him on the shoulder and nodded, "That must be meaningful. If you can really persevere, in the future, you will not only be my disciple, you may even become my teacher. "
