Chapter 9 What the future will look like ("")

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the weather red, and immersed half of Jiangning City in the warm red clouds. When returning from the outside, Su Tan'er met Xiaochan, and then learned that Ning Yi had contracted the cold.

, while asking Xiaochan about the doctor's explanation, she led the three maids towards the yard of Grandpa Su Yu and Taigong Su.

I have something to ask my grandpa for advice today. Now that I know that Ning Yi is fine, I naturally don’t have to rush over to take a look. After entering the yard, I found that my third uncle Su Yunfang and my third sister-in-law were also there, along with my third uncle.

’s second daughter, now everyone calls this little girl Qi Yatou, she is telling stories in front of her grandfather. Several maids are waiting around the crowd.

"...Then, as for Zhou Yu, he beat Huang Gai..."

Su Tan'er walked over and moved a stool to sit down, and listened to the girl's story with her grandfather, three uncles and three sisters-in-law. They were talking about the Three Kingdoms, which was quite interesting. Soon after the story was finished, the girl stood up:

"Second sister."

"Xiao Qi knows how to tell stories. It's great. Did you go to a restaurant with dad to hear about the book?"

"No, my husband told us about it in school."

"Huh?" Su Tan'er hesitated for a while, "Which sir."

"Brother Yi, brother Yi knows a lot of things."

Although the name "brother-in-law" sounds unpleasant to say and has a low status in the family, in the girl's family, the son-in-law is basically called a brother. Therefore, these seven girls only call Ning Yi brother, not brother-in-law. Listen to what she said

After finishing this, Su Tan'er smiled slightly, but she was thinking about the meaning of this matter. Next to her, her third uncle Su Yunfang said: "You are teaching "The Analects of Confucius" recently, right?"

Qi Yatou nodded: "Well, "The Analects of Confucius", we have learned about Li Ren..." Her expression was a little nervous. Usually when asked about her studies, she might have to ask her to endorse it.

However, his father did not say he wanted to endorse this time. Su Yunxiang said to Su Tan'er: "The Three Kingdoms were mentioned in the Analects of Confucius class. Although children like to listen to stories, the teacher should be respected by his students for his knowledge. Quoting from others is the right way, but it also needs to be learned.

Youdu, Tan'er, you should remind Li Heng."

This was a very severe reprimand. Su Tan'er could only nod in agreement for a while, but the old lady next to him smiled: "Don't say it so seriously. You can win the favor of students in just a few days, and you can teach by yourself."

They love their studies, and it is his business to leave these children to him. Third child, you don’t know the cause and effect, so how do you know that the Analects of Confucius has nothing to do with the Three Kingdoms, and how do you know that Li Heng did not have a deep meaning in it, and that he would not seek for it if he was not in his position?

Politics, this truth has been taught to you brothers a long time ago, so don’t make any comments on this matter anymore."

In fact, in this matter, Su Tan'er felt that the talk about the Three Kingdoms in the Analects of Confucius was a little unreliable, but Old Madam Su liked it. He didn't care about Ning Yi's knowledge. In fact, he probably knew that the other party was not very knowledgeable before.

Look at the matter from other aspects.

The current situation of the Su family is complicated. Su Boyong, the eldest of the three Su family lines, Su Zhongkan, the second eldest son, and Su Yunfang, the third eldest son, are each in charge of one business. However, regardless of their skills and qualifications, Su Boyong still has the upper hand. Now the old lady Su Yu is still around, and they seem to be brothers and friends.

Di Gong's situation, but looking further down, the third generation is all idiots. Only Su Boyong's only daughter Su Tan'er is outstanding. Su Yu has been thinking about it for several years and plans to put the family fortune on Su Tan'er.

, of course, this is also a big trouble.

The resistance Si Chen encountered was several times greater than that of an ordinary handover. It would be fine if one of the men in the Su family was barely capable, but there was none, and Su Tan'er acted tepidly.

She is not popular, but is quite outstanding in various methods, and has the style of a general. She has this ability and ambition in this area. Now the old lady has allocated some of the industries managed by Su Boyong to her for formal management, which is regarded as a formal test.

The test is not to see her ability, but to directly let her use her father's resources to subdue and integrate the other two to see how far she can go.

The pressure faced by Su Tan'er has been put aside for the time being. The original purpose of Ning Yi's marriage was to allow Su Tan'er to continue to stay in the Su family. The old man valued the relationship with the ancestors of the Ning family, so he also took care of Ning Yi.

The current conflicts in the Su family don't seem to have intensified yet. Su Tan'er wants to overpower and integrate the others, so it's okay if she doesn't give in. The old lady is not dead, so no one can force her.

But if the conflict really intensifies in the future, and the old man himself may be gone, and these people want to deal with Su Tan'er, then as her husband-in-law, Ning Yi, who is looked down upon by others, will naturally be the best way to break through.

Isn't it easy to find some excuses to cause trouble? Old Master Su saw this and asked Ning Yi to teach. Most of the Yushan Academy is composed of children of the Su family. If Ning Yi teaches well,

Gaining the respect of these juniors will give him a transcendent status in this struggle. He will at least have an aura of being a teacher. If others want to touch him, he will have to think carefully.

Because of this, Ning Yi can be liked by the children, which is the best. Old Mrs. Su immediately asked about Ning Yi's teaching situation. The little girl said happily and asked Su Tan'er: "Second sister, do you know

Will sir say anything tomorrow?"

Su Tan'er smiled: "I'm afraid there won't be any tomorrow. He caught the cold and started to recuperate at home today. I'm afraid he won't be able to go to class tomorrow."

"Oh?" The old lady asked about the situation in confusion, and Su Tan'er repeated exactly what Xiao Chan said. The little girl said, "Then can I go see Brother Yi?" Su Tan'er shook her head.

: "Fenghan is afraid of being infected. Xiaoqi would be better off waiting until your brother Yi is well before visiting him."

After the third uncle and the third sister-in-law left with the little girl, Su Tan'er chatted with her grandfather for a while before going back to her yard. When she went to see Ning Yi, Ning Yi was drinking medicine on the bed with a unhappy expression. Su Tan'er said a few greetings

, I originally wanted to tell the story, but when I saw that he was sick, I stopped telling him.

Su Tan'er is capable and wants to do something as a daughter, but on the other hand, she is also a very traditional and orthodox girl. Although she doesn't like marriage, she chooses to accept her fate and try to marry Ning Yi.

It can be seen from getting along with each other that the personality is there, but the framework is still the same.

She hopes that Ning Yi will be dignified as a teacher instead of using some tricks to please students. Rather than being a little clever or tricky, she would rather Ning Yi be an orthodox or even pedantic scholar. Even if he does not have truly advanced knowledge, she hopes

He is more in line with the "righteous way". Of course, for now, this is still a process of mutual understanding. She will not jump to conclusions easily, but she will slowly try to outline a shape for her husband in her heart.

.

In fact, this appearance is clear when you think about it. He is an ordinary scholar, not very knowledgeable, not knowledgeable, with a good heart and a so-so temper. This is the man she wants to spend her whole life with.

You can be a little willful at this time, but time is limited after all. One day, the two of you will eventually live together, and you will have children with him. As long as he is not a treacherous and evil person, these things will always happen.

Happened. The future... is probably like this, nothing can be changed. She may still retain some small expectations in her heart, but what exactly these expectations will be, in fact, even she herself doesn't know. After continuing to contact, maybe

I will get to know this husband in more detail, but if there are any major discrepancies or surprises, I probably won’t.

At the end of the autumn of the seventh year of Jinghan's reign in the Wu Dynasty, in the Su family's house in Jiangning City, the beautiful woman walked out from under the eaves and looked up, gently stroking the hair beside her ears. The eyes on her pretty face were still clear, with a little hint of amusement.

Helpless, but mostly still calm and indifferent, when the wind blew from the yard, the beautiful light blue dress swayed gently in the wind. This beautiful and intelligent girl had just become a married woman in name.

Miss Tan'er, this is how she views her marriage at this time...

But for now, this is not something that really accounts for a lot of weight in her life. She still has other things to think about and do. Ordinary life, even if she takes it into consideration occasionally, will be dull.

Walking on her own path. If everything develops as it should, perhaps decades later, when she walks out of the roof and raises her head again one day, she will suddenly think of the wind she saw one day many years ago, just like the passage of time.

She took him somewhere, but now, everything is sufficient and there is no need to worry about many things.

That is to say, in this situation of so much abundance that one cannot feel it, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

Sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like a thread. There are no special medicines these days, and this body is originally weak. He caught a cold after not exercising for a long time, so on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ning Yi still stayed in the room, only holding his notebook.

Read ancient vernacular novels to pass the time.

According to Ning Yi's previous experience, under the current situation, it is still okay to go out and walk around in the yard, but this is ancient times. The medical conditions are not good, and the physical condition of a group of people is poor. As long as there are people to take care of them, the prevention and treatment of the disease should be seen.

It was very heavy, and it was getting colder again at the end of autumn. Xiaochan barricaded the door and refused to allow him, a restless patient, to go out. Ning Yi understood the little girl's painstaking efforts.

It doesn't matter, he is not a very active person anyway. He just opens the window every once in a while to get some air. Even so, Xiaochan is unhappy with a puffy face. Ning Yi is bored, so he wastes time explaining to her the benefits of fresh air.

Benefits to the human body, etc.

In the evening, Ning Yi put on another piece of clothing and went out to the banquet with Su Tan'er and others who came back. In any case, since it was just a cold wind, he still had to attend the large-scale family banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone in the Su family went down

From the owner to the stewards, servants, maids, and maids, there were hundreds of people in the nursing home. The scale was huge. Tables of the Eight Immortals were set up in the main hall and several large courtyards, making it a bustling mess.

Ning Yi has naturally had large-scale banquets in the past. For example, every year at the company's end, the scale is huge, but it has to be said that the more modernized, the greater the sense of alienation between people. Now in the ancient atmosphere

, even though there are not many people in this family who are really warm to his son-in-law, sitting here can still feel a warm and lively feeling. Firecrackers are busy outside, children are running around, and the crowd is shouting.

There were sounds of greetings and chatting, and he and Su Tan'er greeted people together - he actually liked this feeling.

The sun has not yet set, and the banquet has begun to be served. In this lively atmosphere, torches and lanterns are lit. As the sky gradually falls into the night, there are all kinds of sounds, including guessing games, drunkenness, and Mrs. Su's.

The hosts came over to say good things, and several children even came over to read a few poems they had written. The three girls, Chan'er, Juan'er, Xing'er, were also happy. They were placed on the maid's table not far away and came running over with smiles.

He ran and chatted with Su Tan'er, reporting something, and occasionally said to Ning Yi, "My aunt and uncle are passing on the stories you told..." Ning Yi just casually told a few in class.

The story has already spread among the younger generation, and seems to be spreading to the maids and servants.

Tsk, this is how the era lacks entertainment...

The dinner party started early, and actually came to an end shortly after nightfall. But of course, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so everyone admiring the moon together was still a reserved program. The old lady would ask Su Boyong to talk to everyone, and then the old lady went back to her yard and a bunch of

The Su family members all went over to chat and chat. Basically, they had to talk to Taigong Su. Even if some young people wanted to leave, they had to go through this process. The three brothers headed by Su Boyong were responsible for those who were in charge of things.

To the Lord’s servants, red envelopes have actually been given out, and the main thing is to try to take turns to say some thoughtful words.

The old man is over seventy years old this year, but he is in good health and in good spirits. Ning Yi and Su Taner greeted him while they were eating. When they went over, the old man said something like, "You must support each other in the future."

"" and so on, and then urged Ning Yi, who had a cold, to go back and rest quickly. Although Ning Yi looked normal at this time, his throat was just a little scratchy.

If it were in modern times, a twenty-year-old body could handle a cold with or without medicine without any pressure. Now, being told by a seventy-year-old man to take care of his body, Ning Yi felt helpless. But since things are like this,

There is nothing we can do about it. The intensity of the exercise in the past few months was not very high. It was just out of fitness habits, so it did not have a thorough effect on this scholar's physique. Next, we should put systematic strengthening exercise on the agenda.

Just fine.

All the way back to the small building, Su Tan'er followed Ning Yi into his room. After a moment of silence, he told Ning Yi to have a good rest tonight, and then hinted a little awkwardly that he still had to go out at night.

Because I told him a few days ago that I was going to attend the Puyuan Poetry Festival.

Regardless of whether Ning Yi is sick or not, Su Tan'er will definitely go to the Puyuan Poetry Club, because for her, the main purpose is to establish relationships with certain people and discuss business. In terms of this certainty, even if Ning Yi

Being unhappy, or even making a fuss, probably doesn't make any difference. But as a wife, it seems a little strange to tell her husband such a thing when he has a cold.

But Ning Yi understands this matter. He just finds this kind of thing interesting. On the one hand, his little wife will definitely not give up the Su family's business. On the other hand, he hopes to take care of this marriage as much as possible, even if

For now, this is a marriage in name only, and she still occupies a dominant position. Women in ancient times, this is really an effort to make him feel cute.

After appreciating Su Tan'er's hard-working expression and not wanting to give him any extra thoughts, Ning Yi smiled and asked her to go back early. It was only when Su Tan'er was about to leave and told Chan'er to take good care of him that he remembered

: "Oh, no need, let Xiaochan go play together. I have nothing to do. I can just read a book and then go to sleep."
