Chapter 89: Seniority Address (please vote for me)
When I ran out of the house in the early morning, Xiao Chan had already returned to the room to tidy up her things, and Juan'er and Xing'er had also gotten up to help.
The exercise journey in the past few days has always stopped in front of Nie Yunzhu's small building. He cooperated with Lu Hongti to teach him the breathing rhythm and exercise method, which basically prevented him from sweating. When they arrived there, Nie Yunzhu was already waiting in front of the small building, with yellowish light shining from the rear window.
"...Xiaochan's father has passed away, so I will probably accompany her back home in the next few days. I will not be able to come back until after the first seven days and the burial. I probably won't come here in the next few days. "
"I, I'm not waiting for you here..." Nie Yunzhu blurted out these words, but then said slightly Slightly embarrassed, she lowered her head, "Well, I'm waiting for you to come over and talk to Li Heng, but drinking tea here and waiting for dawn is actually quite interesting. I'm used to it." She smiled slightly, and then After a pause: "You are leaving the city at this time. What if more refugees arrive in a few days and the city gate is sealed?"
"It shouldn't be so fast. The floods in nearby counties are not serious. If you go further to Jiangzhou, it will take a while to get here. If you really want to close the city gate, it will take about half a month. After that, or at the end of July, Xiaochan and I will be able to return in five days plus today, even if the worst happens. According to the situation, the army will be escorted out of the city every day to give out meals. With the relationship of the Su family, we can follow in, no problem."
"Yes" Nie Yunzhu nodded, "But after all. The people coming here are disaster victims, and you are afraid that someone will cause trouble or steal people's money and property along the way, so you still have to Be careful.”
Hearing her talk about this, Ning Yi laughed: “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m a martial arts master now, and people in the world are called the bloody-handed killer. You’ll know it later, not to mention the golden thread. Geng's guards from the Great Huan Dao will follow, so it won't be a big problem."
He will do that. The bandaged-looking left hand waved in the air a few times. One of the strips of cloth flew up in the air. Nie Yunzhu was next to him and caught it. She was slightly stunned, then blinked her eyes and silently said to Ning. Yi's left hand pulled over and wrapped the straps for him before letting go, then turned around and sat a little further away. It seemed that she had done all this naturally and smoothly, but in fact her face was already hot and her heart was pounding. Fortunately, the light was insufficient at this time, and Ning Yi probably couldn't see much. He only heard her whispering softly: " And..." He still felt a little bit resentful about the injury to his left hand.
“Heh.” Ning Yi smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After a while, he asked, “Yunzhu... what was the situation at home like in the past?”
"Huh?" Nie Yunzhu looked over with wide eyes.
"Oh, I know it's a bit presumptuous, but... I want to know more."
Nie Yunzhu's face turned red again. In the past, she would never say anything in front of others. However, now that Li Heng wanted to know more about it, the situation seemed to be a bit complicated. She thought about it for a while.
“My ancestral home was originally in Xuanzhou, and I came from an official family. My father loved me very much and asked me to teach me poetry and songs when I was young... When I was young, I was also said to be a talented woman, but when I was only ten years old, In the year, my father committed a crime... I entered the Jiaofang Department, and then... What did Li Heng want to know... ..."
Although she felt complicated and didn't mind confessing this to Li Heng, she could only say a few simple words. She asked Ning Yi what she wanted to know specifically. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "At home...are there any relatives that can be found now?"
Nie Yunzhu shook his head: "I can't find them... I heard that my father and mother passed away on the way to be distributed. I heard that one of my aunts remarried and may have other relatives... In fact, in the past few years, I could have returned to Xuan. I'll look for it, but...but my parents are dead anyway..."
After speaking in a low voice, I was already on the verge of tears. Ning Yi waited for her to calm down a little, and then said: "Yunzhu must have known the old man who set up the chess stall who used to push the cart there every day and is now walking around. The other one is the Prince Consort, named Kang Xian, you went to deliver preserved eggs and helped with the Dragon Boat Festival.”
Nie Yunzhu sniffed, his nose was slightly red, but he smiled softly and nodded: “Well, now. I said hello when I saw you Well, Mr. Qin is very kind, and the Prince Consort has also gone to the store several times to drink porridge and eat. "
" Mr. Qin is from a scholarly family, and he is a well-educated person. I have been thinking about him recently. If I would accept you as righteous Girl, Yunzhu, what do you think?"
"Me...me?" Nie Yunzhu was stunned, his eyes widened, and after a moment, Fang was at a loss, "How...is this possible..."
"I said yes."
"But...Li Heng, of course you said so!" Nie Yunzhu was a little anxious and frowned, "I, after all, I was in Jinfeng Tower before... Li Heng When you say this, aren't you making things difficult..."
Ning Yi smiled: "People have this idea too."
"How, how is it possible..."
"Oh, we were chatting together a few days ago , just in time to talk about you, Yunzhu, I told the two old men about you learning to kill chickens and sell pancakes, and then... that's it. Prince Consort Kang also said that he wanted to accept you as his adopted daughter. , but to be honest, I want a princess head Titles are indeed troublesome, but Mr. Qin's side is easier. He has a good temper. He has two sons, one civil and one military, both of whom are officials. With these two brothers, no one will dare to bully you in the future. "< br>
Nie Yunzhu sat there and looked at him, listening to what he said, he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression: "Li Heng...why did Li Heng do this..."
"Tsk, keep talking. They took the initiative to bring it up, it’s none of my business.” Ning Yi spread his hands. , and then laughed, "But they actually like your temperament and character, and I am more utilitarian. As for Mr. Qin, he used to be a high official, and he was punished for committing some crimes. He plays chess there every day. , but if he has wide connections and influence... Jiang Ning may know There are not many people, but they are definitely not weak. You have two more big brothers. In the future, no one will dare to make trouble for selling preserved eggs. We are all friends, and I will take advantage of it. To be honest... ...I also want them to adopt me as their adopted son or something. What in the world am I doing? Even if you do a good job, it’s not as good as having a great father, but we have been playing chess for a long time. This matter is not very reliable. There is no chance..."
Nie Yunzhu burst into laughter over there, as if After laughing like that, I couldn't help it, raised my head and then lowered it. To be honest, she couldn't help but smile very beautifully. After lowering her head, she put her hands on her knees and her forehead against her arms while sitting and laughing. But it was a little strange to smile. Ning Yi waited for a while and saw her. I sat there with my forehead on my head and cried. The light from the oil lamp behind me illuminated the side of my face with teardrops hanging on it.
Ning Yi breathed out and waited for her to cry for a while before speaking: "Hey, this reaction is not good."
"I...I...my identity...will give The old man is causing trouble..."
"There is no trouble. For others, if someone is working hard in the officialdom, there may be trouble, but for him, for you, there is no trouble. If I say no, there will be no trouble!" Even if someone really gossips, Ning Yi can Make up some stories, use some hype techniques, and guide your reputation in the direction you need.
"I happen to be out of town these days, please think about it. Don't think that you are trying to reach someone high or anything. Once you recognize this adoptive father, you are a family. From now on, he will treat you as his daughter, and you must serve him like a father. He, he is old and sick, and you have to take care of him from time to time. Mr. Qin has a good character and is a good person, so you chose him as your adoptive father. No, don’t pay attention to him. It’s not that... having a powerful adoptive father is just to prove something to others, it’s just that... from now on, I have a family.”
Nie Yunzhu sat there and sobbed. Ning Yi kept raising a hand, wanting to pat her back. After thinking about it, he took it back and sat there waiting for her to vent her emotions. Soon after, the morning light showed slightly, and Nie Yunzhu wiped his eyes and sat up, showing a smile. She was not crying because she was sad, so her smile was natural, but her eyelids were just red.
Not long after, Ning Yi was about to get up and go home. After the two parties said goodbye and took two steps, Nie Yunzhu stopped him from behind: "That...that...I thought of something..."
< br>"Huh?" Ning Yi turned around, and the woman over there was smiling with red eyes.
"Um... Li Heng, Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang, are friends of the same generation..."
"Well, we usually play chess and chat, but there is no seniority."
"Then...if I really recognized Mr. Qin as my adopted father, wouldn't I call you Uncle Li Heng?" She tilted her head. , thinking about things playfully, "If one day the three of you are chatting there, and I come over to greet you, should I say: 'Hello, foster father, good uncle Kang, good uncle Li Heng?' Then will you tell Yunzhu's niece that she is good?" Well...I'm older than you..."
She suppressed a smile and looked troubled. Ning Yi opened her mouth slightly and was stunned for a long time. Then the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and she nodded helplessly: "Looking for trouble." Turned around and walked forward.
The laughter came from behind, and in the morning light, there was a happy smile like a silver bell. Although he didn't look back, he could vaguely see Nie Yunzhu's playful and happy expression covering his mouth in his mind. Ning Yi smiled and walked straight forward.
"Be careful these days, don't get hurt again."
The shout came over. Ning Yi raised his right hand and shook it backward: "I got it!"
************************
Two It is no small matter for a family to become a family. Nie Yunzhu explained the matter well and gave her a few days to think about it. Next, it was time to accompany Xiaochan out of the city for the funeral.
All the way back to the Su Mansion, the things that should be prepared have been prepared. There are many things in a carriage, accompanied by Geng Huyuan, who is carrying a big knife and is used to the world. His name is Dongzhu, a young man who entered the mansion last year. Xiao Chan wore a plain white dress with a black ribbon prepared on her body, dressed like a pitiful maid. However, she probably only cried last night, and then she probably didn't sleep well all night, and she had some tired dark circles. Ning Yi patted her head, and she sniffed and smiled at Ning Yi.
"Uncle, I'm fine."
The four of them expired, and then said goodbye to Su Tan'er. After giving some instructions on what to do if the city gate is closed and asking Ning Yi to take care of Xiaochan, the carriage left. After arriving at Su Mansion, we left Jiangning and drove to Xiaochan’s hometown, a small mountain village called Nanting Village...
