Jiangning Kang Wang Fu.
The sky was overcast and it looked like it was about to rain. The occasional sound of spring thunder mixed with the festive atmosphere of the wang fu. Because the sky was dark, the servants lit up lanterns. The light of the lanterns made the entire wang fu even more lively.
Zhou Pei stood behind the screen and poked her head out to take a few glances. Today was the day of her marriage, but there wasn't much joy in her eyes. At most, there was a bit of confusion. At this wedding ceremony that didn't require her to appear, she stole a few glances at the man who would or would belong to her in the future.
The man who was going to marry her was called Qu Zonghui. It wasn't that she hadn't seen him before. Because of her father Zhou Yong's indulgence, this future husband was chosen by herself. On the day of the selection, her father patted her shoulder and smiled. "I know you've been intelligent since you were young, so you can decide all of these things yourself. As your father, I've treated you well enough. Hahahaha … I just didn't think you'd like that boy from the Qu family."
Originally, she could have chosen Zhuo Yunfeng, but after the trip to the capital, Zhou Pei didn't make such a decision. Since Cheng Zhouhai could clearly see the fact that she liked her teacher, perhaps Zhuo Yunfeng could also see it. The Qu family was also a prominent family in Jiangning. Qu Zonghui was ranked second. Although he wasn't the eldest son and looked gentle and ordinary, he wasn't someone without his own opinions. At the age of fourteen, he began to manage many of the Qu family's matters. It was said that he was even more powerful than his elder brother, Qu Zonghan.
The reason why Zhou Pei chose him was mainly because the other's way of doing things was somewhat like Ning Yi. Of course, she wouldn't tell anyone this reason.
As a woman, no matter who it was, in the end, no one could escape this path. She had already seen it clearly. But perhaps after marriage, it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as she had originally imagined. She had already heard her teacher talk about the matters between him and her teacher's wife. For a period of time, she actually yearned for it.
Perhaps Qu Zonghui wouldn't be as powerful as her teacher, but between them, perhaps they could slowly come into contact and slowly understand. She also wanted to sit in the attic of the Prince's Mansion and tell her husband about what she had done in the day. On the other hand, she realized that there were many things she could do. At the very least, there were many things she could help Grandpa Consort with. Grandpa Consort and Imperial Aunt did not refuse.
Thus, she recognized the modest and silent young man in the crowd. She glanced at him and then turned to leave. When she passed by the corridor in the backyard, she saw her younger brother walking over.
"Sister."
"Jun Wu, where are you going?"
"Elder Sister's wedding is today, so I naturally have to go to the front to see brother-in-law. Big Sister, you also peeked just now, right? "
"What's there to see? It's not like you don't know Qu Zonghui."
"Second Young Master Qu is different today."
The siblings laughed and said a few words. Jun Wu was two years younger than her, but he already looked like a teenager at the age of fourteen. Thinking back to this time last year, when his younger brother was disobedient, he might have beaten him up. But ever since his teacher told him to make up his mind, Jun Wu began to work hard in his studies. He wasn't very interested in the books of the sages, but he was very interested in the knowledge of governing, management, and business. Zhou Pei knew that he wanted to build a large workshop to collect all kinds of craftsmen to make all kinds of strange things. His ultimate goal was still to study things.
But for this purpose, everyone was happy to learn about governing, management, and business. After all, Prince Kang's Mansion would be handed over to him in the future. In this era, as long as no one was suspected of rebelling, it wasn't difficult for the royal family to learn the way of the emperor and the art of governing. Under the overall plan, in order to maintain the operation of the business and capital, he had to learn how to communicate with people. Reading the books of the sages could also increase his profound knowledge, which was very useful in interacting with scholars. He even learned these things.
As a result, although he often complained, Jun Wu, who was smart, began to learn these things in an orderly manner. As for the workshop he set up outside using the name of the Prince Kang's Mansion, Zhou Yong and Zhou Pei all turned a blind eye to it and treated it as a child's toy. As long as he worked hard, it didn't matter if he spent some money.
After nearly a year, Jun Wu's temperament had changed. At least he looked like a little adult. As for the craftsman camp outside, which collected all kinds of craftsmen to study strange things such as airtight and light cloth and hard and light iron frames, it was now managed by the housekeeper of the Prince Kang's Mansion. It was considered a good scale, and the craftsmen of the Su family in Jiangning were also invited to participate in it. It was considered to give face to their teacher and take care of it.
In fact, when the news of the destruction of Liangshan Lake spread to Jiangning, the siblings finally found that there was still a big gap between them and their teacher. But so what? After the conversation, Jun Wu dynasty walked forward. Zhou Pei turned her head and looked at his back with a smile. She was finally going to get married. She had thought through the things in her heart, and she could finally rest assured about her younger brother's future. Just like the spring thunder that broke through the dullness of winter, what awaited her next was a more beautiful and colorful life.
Teacher, thank you.
She looked in the direction of the capital and smiled.
You must be very happy in Bianliang. There are some things that I will never tell you, but I will keep them in my heart and remember them for the rest of my life. Xiao Pei … will always remember you.
But Xiao Pei … will start to forget you.
That was what she thought in her heart …
*****
As the thoughts of the adult young princess spread, the person she was thinking about in the far north didn't have such complicated feelings. Of course, in terms of happiness, it might not be counted as recently. The four most important women around him abandoned him and ran away together, because everyone thought it was necessary for him to relax. As a male chauvinist with a strong desire to control, he might not be very happy to be judged like this by the people around him, but of course, he couldn't get angry.
"Fine, fine …" he thought. "Maybe I did make things and the atmosphere too tense. I can relax a little." He had been here for a long time, but he hadn't let go of the modern thinking. At least for people like Tan'Er and Yunzhu, he had always hoped that they could have the same happiness as him — except for polygamy. In a sense, they would abandon him and run away for a while for his own good. His idea was preliminarily successful, wasn't it?
Of course, while comforting himself with this reason, he also thought, "Next, I don't need to go deeper …"
Zhou Pei's marriage had been decided during the New Year. When the news came, Ning Yi read it and said to Qin Siyuan, "Congratulations, this girl has finally thought it through." There was nothing else to say.
Half a year ago, after Zhou Pei returned to Jiangning from the capital, Princess Cheng had sent a letter to the capital. The words might be euphemistic, but the meaning was that Princess Cheng was furious. She felt that her granddaughter was almost defiled by a playboy in the capital when she came to the capital, which was really intolerable.
Because of this letter, Gao Qiu and his son were tormented by the emperor, so that in the past six months, Gao Muen was locked up in the Great Military Officer's Mansion and couldn't come out, which could be regarded as a peaceful half a year in the capital. As for later, it was hard to say whether the Great Military Officer's Mansion sent Zhou Dong to kill Ning Yi had been affected by this matter.
Of course, today's Great Military Officer's Mansion, in fact, did not dare to make enemies with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion on the surface or in the dark. For the time being, they kept each other's affairs in mind, and there would not be any friction in a short time. As for the future, naturally, it would be discussed later. At the end of the first month, after Tan'Er left, Ning Yi devoted himself to work. On the one hand, he was responsible for the publicity and marketing of Takeshi, and on the other hand, he was traveling between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Wang Family.
After Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang came to the capital, the situation in the Wang Family became more interesting. Ning Yi, who had suffered a setback and was classified as "completely incapable of picking up girls", was very interested in this matter.
After arriving in the capital, Hu Sanniang lived in the Wang Family, and Zhu Biao followed Ning Yi. It was said that before Wang Shanyue figured out her feelings for Hu Sanniang, the Old Lady and the girls of the Wang Family fell in love with this rural girl from Shandong. The reason was that Hu Sanniang was really good at martial arts. When she first came to the Wang Family, she was very restrained, but after only half a day, she was asked to stay by the Old Lady of the Wang Family.
Hu Sanniang was willing, but Wang Shanyue was very conflicted. She ran to Ning Yi's side and explained to Zhu Biao, but it didn't seem like an explanation, nor did it seem like an apology. This fierce character in Shandong who fought and ate people didn't even dare to return to the Wang Family that night. The next day, Ning Yi brought Zhu Biao back with Wang Shanyue. At that time, Hu Sanniang was already being pestered by some of the girls in the Wang Family. Under Ning Yi's signal, Zhu Biao shouted, "What's so great about that?" Zhu Biao entered the arena and fought with Hu Sanniang. Although a group of women sided with Hu Sanniang and accused him of bullying women, it could be seen that Zhu Biao's valiance was quite attractive to this family of dozens of women.
The name of the Old Lady of the Wang Family was Qian Ying. As an old lady who could support such a family after Wang Qisong's death, she was also very insightful and opinionated. After talking with Ning Yi for a while, she understood what he meant. The engagement between Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang was still a big problem in terms of etiquette. If there was a girl in the family who liked Zhu Biao and could get married, it would be a happy ending for both parties. It was still impossible to explain everything clearly, but everyone would be happy to see it happen.
The main cooperation between Ning Yi and the Wang Family was still the bookstore. After talking with Old Lady Qian for a while, it was almost noon. The Old Lady asked them to stay for lunch. At this time, Wenren Bu 'er came to find them. While she was freeloading, she told Ning Yi something.
"Teacher asked you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion if you have time in the afternoon … Oh right, haven't you finished the ranking list of martial arts masters?"
"Takeshi didn't finish it, so what's the use of the ranking list … Did something happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"A few days ago, there was a battle on the south bank of Pengze Lake." Wenren Bu 'er said in a low voice, "Fang Qisfo was captured to cover Fang Baihua and the others' escape. Now he is being escorted to the capital. It's a bit troublesome."
Ning Yi was slightly startled. "… What's wrong?"
"Fang Baihua and some people from the Underworld want to save him, so it's not very troublesome. But Teacher wants to hear your opinion."
Ning Yi looked at Wenren Bu 'er and nodded to show that he understood. Not long after, everyone sat down and said nothing more. A figure flashed across Ning Yi's mind. It was the young man who faced dozens of heroes from the Underworld alone on the streets of Hangzhou after the fall of the enemy. He wanted to kill Bao Daoyi for a group of children.
"Chen Fan …"
Fang Qisfo was his teacher. In this scene, if he didn't die, he would be there …
