Volume 3: The world is in turmoil, and the undercurrent continues Chapter 453: Subtle Relationship
Guangde is only more than 500 miles away from Jinling, and it only takes seven or eight days to travel by land. After calculating the days, Ning Buhui has sent people to wait at Shili Pavilion outside the city. Once she receives the news, she will take people to greet her.
She was asked to pick her up in person. Apart from Fang La's only daughter, Fang Jinzhi, her only friend in the past three years, there was probably no other person in the world.
"Haha, this Jiang Ning is said to have the world in his sleeves. When he first arrived in Jinling, he first created the first pot in Jinling, and then competed with the Eight Talents of Jinling in poetry. Although it was Lu Youguang who picked the matter, Jiang Ning was not afraid at all, not only
I was absolutely loyal to Zhu Xi, and even wrote a good poem about "The Master of Fortune lives at the head of the Yangtze River", tsk tsk..."
"I heard that Bai Yiyi, the former most beautiful woman in Jinling, fell in love with Jiang Ning at first sight. But who would have expected that she would eventually die. The Eighteenth Music Studio is still there today, but Yiyi's stunning beauty is nowhere to be seen..."
Many literati and poets in the tea house were chatting and laughing, talking about some interesting things before the fall of Jinling. Jinling had returned to normal. Yongle had just established the dynasty, and the management of public opinion and military affairs was still extremely strict. Not to mention Jinling,
After all, this is the capital of the Yongle Dynasty. If everything here goes against the grain, how can Lu Qinghou discuss the governance of the country with Fang La?
Therefore, the dynasty was established on March 5th, and after the dynasty dispersed on that day, many laws and regulations were issued to regulate the management of the army and the restraint of the people. Although the laws and regulations of Daxia were generally followed, many places still had
Improvements have been made. For example, the law of continuous sitting has been reduced from ten households to three, and the penalties for adultery and other crimes have been heavier. There has indeed been a lot of progress in the protection of women. Women are allowed to engage in politics, business, and scholars, and even
award.
Although today's Jinling is not in ruins, the burning, killing and looting when entering the city also damaged Jinling's vitality. If you want to use Jinling as your base camp, then the place must resume normal operations as soon as possible, and the literati must gradually be used by the imperial court.
Business must also open up new paths for them.
There are also many people from the Yongle Dynasty sitting in the teahouse, but they are also more interested in hearing the anecdotes from before. It doesn't hurt to have a drink and listen. As long as it doesn't involve the Yongle Dynasty, it can be said that it is relatively good.
Broadly speaking, this also has a lot to do with the instructions from the upper levels.
"You live at the head of the Yangtze River?" A woman frowned and asked the maid next to her: "What kind of song is this?"
The maid shook her head: "Miss, I have been following you and I don't know much about you. You came and asked me."
The woman sighed: "I have heard before that Jiang Ning is the most talented man in the south of the Yangtze River. I didn't expect to hear about this man again when I came to Jinling. If I am lucky enough, I must meet him."
But then the maid asked: "Hey, since you know so much, is Jiang Ning still in Jinling?"
"Of course it's not here. Jiang Ning's deceitful person ran out of the city that day. If he were in Jinling, would he still have a way to survive?" Someone in the hall laughed.
Everyone looked at the voice and saw that the speaker was none other than the eldest son of the Nangong family, Nangong Yaowen. Who was the person at the same table if it wasn't Lu Yuntian?
Who didn't know these two people in Jinling? Who didn't know? The people who spoke immediately closed their mouths, and some of them felt guilty and hurriedly left the teahouse.
The woman felt a little surprised in her heart. Just when the waiter was serving tea, she pulled the waiter to sit down, took out some pieces of silver and said, "Who is this person? Why don't everyone dare to speak loudly when he speaks?"
The waiter looked around and saw that there were still five or six actions between him and Nangong Yaowen. He immediately bent down, grabbed the broken silver and said: "Is the lady here to visit the bride or just passing by? I don't know?"
"How about visiting relatives or passing by?" the woman asked softly.
The waiter smiled and said: "I'm passing by here, so I just want to listen and enjoy it. However, Jiangnan is not peaceful now. If you can, go back. If you keep going, you may not be able to go back one day. This
Jinling is a little better now, but a few days ago, those who wanted to go out couldn't get out, and those who wanted to come in couldn't get in."
"What if we want to visit the bride?"
"Haha, for the sake of marriage, you still need to know these two people. The first young master is the eldest son of the Nangong family. The Nangong family is the largest family in Jinling. In the past few days, other aristocratic families ran away and ransacked their homes.
, only the Nangong family is untouchable, Nangong Wan was even recruited into the palace by Shenggong, and I heard that he will be made a concubine, tsk tsk tsk...who do you think will offend him?"
After the waiter finished speaking, he ran away quickly, for fear that others would hear him chewing his tongue.
When the woman heard this, she was furious. She gritted her teeth and threw the teacup in her hand on the table and said angrily: "This is too much to bully..."
Everyone in the store looked at her, which naturally attracted Nangong Yaowen's attention.
"I'm going out with my maid, do you know whose young lady this is? She's very beautiful." Nangong Yaowen said proudly, what else is scary in Jinling City?
Lu Yuntian shook his head: "Is there anyone from a famous family who doesn't know you or me? They are probably from outside. Look, there is a package on the chair."
Nangong Yaowen nodded slightly and raised his hand. The servant behind him stepped forward and bent down to listen to his instructions.
The two laughed heartily, got up and left, but the four servants sat down and continued drinking tea.
After the woman finished drinking tea, she led her maid towards the main road. Suddenly, she was caught up by several people behind her and blocked against the wall.
"Haha, two ladies, my young master invited the two ladies to dinner, and also asked the two ladies to show their respect."
The woman frowned: "Who is your young master? I will go if he wants me to?"
"Haha, little Pi Niang has such a loud tone, my young master will scare the shit out of you if you say it."
The maid took a step forward and stood in front of the woman: "Do you know who my young lady is?"
"Who is it? Haha, tell me, it will scare me to death..." Several servants burst out laughing.
The maid frowned and said angrily: "My young lady is the daughter of the Holy Duke and the princess of the Yongle Dynasty."
"You are the princess of the Yongle Dynasty, then I am the prince of the Yongle Dynasty. Xiaopi Niang, you talk nonsense. It is your blessing that the young master likes you. Damn it, I dare to say no and sell you for fun.
Go to the Qinhuai River, damn it." The servant came up and slapped the maid, knocking her to the ground.
The next moment, they carried the two of them and walked towards the alley. Passers-by looked at them, but they dared not say anything. The servants glared at them and hurried away in fright. When the Manichaean soldiers saw this scene, they
But it is commonplace. Moreover, everyone already knows that Nangong Wan is a saint from Yongle pilgrimage and has entered the palace to serve the Holy Duke. This servant of the Nangong family is no different from their Manichaeans, and is even more rampant than them.
The two of them shouted but received no answer. They were carried directly into the alley. The servant pinched their buttocks twice as they walked, making them all very happy.
"Little lady, haha, in troubled times, how can you do it without a man?" Nangong Yaowen rubbed his hands and looked at the kidnapped woman and smiled.
The four people carried the maid towards another room.
This place is quite remote, and there is a blacksmith shop next door. Hammering and hammering are very loud every day. Choose a private garden here. Although the environment is average, it is extremely safe.
The woman spat at Nangong Yaowen, but her hands were tied and she could not move while sitting on the chair.
"Haha, I like strong-tempered people... Let my brother love you well. If you follow me from now on, this house will be yours..."
"Bang..." Suddenly there was a sound of a vase breaking from the next door, and it was immediately covered up by the sound of forging iron.
