Under the bean-like light, lines of tiny characters could be seen on the Xuan paper. It was early in the morning, and when the rooster crowed outside, Ning Yi placed the brush next to the inkstone and rotated his wrist, which was sore from writing all the time.
"If I have time, I have to make a fountain pen …"
With this in mind, he held the Xuan paper, which was still wet with ink, and gently shook it in the air before putting it aside. At this time, although there were quite a lot of words on the paper, there was still a lot of things that needed to be written out. Although he was already proficient in using the brush, the efficiency was not high. For Ning Yi, who had already entered a working state and started to make a comprehensive plan, it was still a little slow.
In this era, to build a huge enterprise prototype from scratch that could have internal supervision, checks and balances, and a circular system, there was no basis for any structure or regulations. Many things might seem ordinary in the future. If they couldn't be written out, it was very likely that no one would do it, so some links would become broken. In this regard, Ning Yi still believed that a good memory was not as good as a bad pen. Many basic concepts, once written out, would be much clearer.
There wasn't much time, but there was almost no end to the things that needed to be measured and thought about. What was written on these few pieces of paper was a general situation of the future company's audit and supervision system. Currently, Takeshi couldn't use it because it was too small. But if everything went smoothly, it would develop to such a large scale in the future. At this time, it was necessary to have a good enough development prototype in order to avoid detours. Many things in this system also had to be adjusted to local conditions. Reference should be made to the management methods and models of many family-style workshops at this time. In addition, at this time, the Wu dynasty was too large, and information could not be transmitted smoothly. There were many problems that had to be paid attention to, such as the ability to timely unify accounts and information, but the most suitable thing to apply was the spirit of mutual supervision, checks and balances, and the spirit of preventing cheating in the audit. There was a triangular balance relationship that existed everywhere.
Regarding these things, there was still a lot to be prepared. Of course, the development of a project had to be done slowly. Along the way, Takeshi would also encounter many problems, and it was very likely that the final outcome would be unpredictable. However, if one had a good idea and made preparations beforehand, they would be able to avoid a lot of detours.
Thinking about whether there were any omissions in what he had written, he turned his head and saw that on the other side of the bed, Xiao Chan was also lying on her side and looking over. Perhaps when Ning Yi woke up, she had already woken up. At this time, Ning Yi tilted his head and looked at her for a moment. He smiled and said, "Come."
Xiaochan smiled and sat up on the bed. Then, she lifted the thin blanket on her body and stretched out her slender legs to get off the bed. She put on her embroidered shoes and walked to Ning Yi's side before sitting on his lap. "Husband, you're not going to sleep?"
It was still summer, and the nights weren't that cool. Xiaochan only wore a dudou, and her body was almost naked. Her skin was fair, and her figure was soft and well-proportioned. Her usual cuteness and womanly aura perfectly blended together. If one had to describe it, it would probably be the feeling of "being owned". When Ning Yi hugged her, she gently wrapped her arms around Ning Yi's neck and pressed her small face against his cheek, allowing Ning Yi to feel her body. The two of them sat like this under the light of the oil lamp.
"There are a lot of things to do, and I probably have to rush. However, I've slept enough. It's fine …" Ever since he practiced the martial arts left behind by Lu Hongti, Ning Yi's physical fitness had become very good. Although he felt rested when he slept a little more, he didn't feel tired when he woke up about two hours earlier these days. Of course, it might also be because of the matter with Yuan Jin 'er yesterday. He was a little unprepared and annoyed. "When the sun rises, let's go out for a walk."
"En."
Xiaochan nuzzled against his cheek like a cat and quietly snuggled against him. Ning Yi looked back at the things on the paper and took out some simple tips of the Su family's accounts to compare. After a while, Xiaochan got out of his arms and put on her silk pants, blouse, and skirt. She went out to get some water to wash his face. After helping him wash up, she opened the window. Only then did some light appear outside. The morning mist floated away, and it was hazy.
In such a morning, the city was filled with all kinds of soft sounds. Occasionally, there would be a sound that became clearer and seemed to come from far away. Yunzhu and Jin 'er should have woken up by now, but the two sisters would be tossing and turning in the room for a long time. Ning Yi didn't want to go over to do anything, so he went out for a walk with Xiaochan. In the morning mist on the street, they looked like a pair of newlyweds who didn't follow the etiquette. Ning Yi was his husband who had a gentle temperament but was not rigid. The sweet-looking Xiaochan was dressed like a young married woman, holding her husband's hand as they walked. Even if she occasionally lowered her head shyly, it was soon washed away by the sweetness.
They bought some breakfast and porridge from the street stalls, then wrapped them in lotus leaves and other things to bring back. Some looked interesting, so they tried some first. If it didn't taste good, they went to the next stall to find good food.
After returning, they brought these things to the gazebo in the middle of the courtyard and called the people who accompanied them to come over and divide them. The family then ate around the gazebo, chatting and laughing. Some chatted in the gazebo, while others sat under the eaves. Naturally, Yunzhu and Jin 'er also had a share, but because Su Wenyu and the other men were next to them, they also took what they wanted to eat and went to the side with Xiaochan, chatting as they ate. As for Su Wenyu, Su Yanping, and the others, as well as the shopkeepers and servants who accompanied them, they could already talk with them, but it was impossible for them to be as friendly as they were with Ning Yi.
In fact, in these two days, Ning Yi and Jin 'er couldn't be said to be friendly. The two of them didn't talk much, but they also didn't quarrel with each other. It felt … a little strange.
Since the night before yesterday, when Jin 'er yelled at Ning Yi, Ning Yi felt a little embarrassed at that time. Later, he naturally thought about it seriously, but his feelings were a little complicated. On the other hand, regarding Jin 'er's matter, he felt that it was a little difficult to face Yunzhu and Xiaochan, so he felt a little guilty.
From the perspective of a bystander, there was nothing to say about a man having three wives and four concubines at this time. Previously, Ning Yi didn't deliberately want to get Jin 'er, so he didn't feel guilty. But it was one thing to talk about it, and another to put it into practice. The night before yesterday, Yunzhu and Xiaochan were eavesdropping outside, so were Su Wenyu, Su Yanping, and the others. Although their posture later seemed to be watching him make a fool of himself, in Ning Yi's heart, he was more willing to believe that it was their kindness as a family.
After such a thing happened, whether it was Yunzhu or Xiaochan, how could they simply see it as a joke without any ill feelings in their hearts? Towards Yunzhu, he originally felt that he owed her. After being together with her, he also got her sisters. To say that she was very happy in her heart, Ning Yi didn't think it was necessarily true. As for Xiaochan, after this incident, Xiaochan was very considerate and didn't mention anything about him and Jin 'er. This was her consideration.
But others could be tolerant, but he couldn't be without self-awareness. In all fairness, now that there were these women by his side, and there was also Liu Watermelon, whose relationship with him was a little unclear, Ning Yi felt very satisfied. As for Jin 'er, he naturally had a good impression and also treated her as one of his extremely important friends. But whether it was to the extent of a romantic relationship, this was hard to say. If to give a hypothesis, now that he didn't have Yunzhu and the others by his side, of course he would like Jin 'er's character. If it was to say that there was no problem for them to be husband and wife, of course it would be very interesting. But now that there were so many people by his side, he needed to consider more than just that little bit.
On the other hand, he couldn't be sure to what extent the concept of "like" Jin 'er mentioned was. In his previous life, he was simple and crude in terms of men and women. Naturally, he had feelings for women, but he didn't have the opportunity to realize it. After entering society, as a person with a strong desire for control, the first thing he felt was ambition and a sense of achievement. After becoming a little more developed, there was never a lack of women. Of course, at the beginning, he had the idea of treating with sincerity, but after a few simple transactions, he didn't look forward to it. It was too difficult, too troublesome, and there was no substantial benefit, so he was too lazy to study the feelings of women. "What I want is your body, why do I want your heart? Feed it to the dogs? "
It was also because of his previous poverty, at this time, he cherished these simple and sincere things. Of course, it was impossible for a person like him to be so slow-witted that he had never thought of the possibility that Jiner had feelings for him. However, it was precisely because of this possibility that he had thought of it that he had thought too much about it. After all, it was impolite for Jiner to have such thoughts.
Therefore, he hesitated on how to deal with this matter next. On the contrary, Jin 'er ran away crying after yelling at him the night before yesterday. The next day, she heartlessly returned to normal. Although she didn't talk to him, her relationship with Yunzhu had returned to normal, and she pretended that nothing had happened. Regarding this kind of reaction, Ning Yi was a little helpless. He could only put his thoughts aside for the time being and focus on his work, taking one step at a time.
"It's really like I asked for it …"
Every time he thought of this matter with Yuan Jin 'er, it also reminded Ning Yi of what happened to Xi Junyu before. In the past, he used to tell jokes to the people around him. Most of the time, the most destructive sentence to others was "I like you". When Xi Junyu went to the Su family to kill people, Juan 'er used this method to make Xi Junyu's imagination run wild. In the end, Juan' er ruthlessly stabbed him with a knife, and it was estimated that he would never believe in love again.
Now that he thought about it, Juan 'er and Chan' er had heard that joke, and Yunzhu and Jin 'er had also heard it. Yuan Jin' er suddenly came back to kill him. As the initiator, it made him feel like he had received retribution. Although Yuan Jin 'er probably did not purposely use this to argue with him, thinking about it in this way, he really felt a little indignant.
What a joke. Xi Junyu, that despicable dog, was obviously a villain. It was natural for him to be stabbed with a knife. Why should I … Uh … Well, I don't seem to be a good person, then there's nothing I can do …
In his spare time, Ning Yi would also think about this kind of thing and make fun of himself. Then, not long after the morning, Qin Shaoyu would come to invite him to some famous restaurants and teahouses in Bianliang City for a stroll. But on this day, before Qin Shaoyu came, someone sent him an invitation, saying that he had heard that the number one scholar of Jiangning had come to Bianliang and invited him to participate in the poetry meeting at Caimu Garden tonight. Two days ago, Ning Yi had already heard about this, but he was surprised that someone knew his whereabouts and sent an invitation. He took a look, but the name of the person who invited him was not the Qingyang County Magistrate or the County Magistrate's husband, Liu Qingzhou. The signature was Ruan Weitong. He asked Qin Shaoyu, but Qin Shaoyu only said that it was a scholar of Bianliang.
It was probably related to Zhou Pei or someone on Elder Qin's side. He estimated that he might go, so he asked someone to send an invitation to avoid trouble. Previously, Ning Yi was not sure if he should go to such a poetry meeting. These two days, he was annoyed by Yuan Jin 'er's matter, so he only planned to focus on his work. After asking a few questions, he threw the invitation aside and went out with Qin Shaoyu to go to the teahouse …
