Ping An Biography

When he was drunk yesterday, Zhang Ning vaguely remembered being helped into the carriage by someone, but then he couldn't remember clearly.When he woke up, he first saw Zhang Xiaomei wiping the table with a rag. He moved a bit, and felt that the place was very strange. It didn't look like the house he had lived in before. The sound of water should be the sound of waves hitting the shore.There is an artificial lake in Chu Palace, but where does the water come from?

"Brother." Zhang Xiaomei called back and ran over and said, "It's already afternoon, you can really sleep."

Zhang Ning responded casually, got out of bed and put on his shoes, the first thing he thought of was to open the door and see where he was.

"Creak." As soon as the wooden door opened, his eyes widened.I saw a large hall outside. Looking from near to far, the front wall was empty, and a large area of ​​water came into view outside.

It seems that I have seen such a scene somewhere, yes, it is in a dream, although there is a little difference, it is almost like this.

He didn't even wear a coat, so he came out in obscene clothes, came to the threshold of the gate and looked around, and saw that this place seemed to be the bank of the sand lake, because only the sand lake in Wuchang City had such a large area of ​​water that stretched as far as the eye could see.For a while, I didn't know the direction, because the sky was lightly raining and I couldn't see the sun.

This house is next to Shahu Lake, without a yard. There is such a spacious and bright hall. The pillars in the middle and the curtains decorated on all sides make the hall full of antique flavor. A wooden table with paper, pens, Yantai and other things on it; it looks like a large pavilion or open hall, but it is not. The entire area of ​​the front wall is divided into several gates. If the gate is closed, it should be inlaid with wide door panels. , otherwise there would not be such a wide door, just like seeing the door of some shops on the street.At this time, the several doors that formed a block were all open, so that the line of sight was extremely wide.

Looking down from here, there is a lake next to the stone foundation, and there is a withered reed stalk by the lake, shaking back and forth in the wind and rain, as if dancing.There is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the top of the pavilion on the island is looming in the mist.A few awning boats floated on the water with the wind, without the hustle and bustle of the market around, it was like a paradise.

It must have been arranged by Yao Ji. The boats on the water should be patrolled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.He remembered mentioning this matter to Yao Ji, but it was just casual talk.At that time, I was depressed in Jiujiang, and I just wanted to have such a place to hide from the world to cultivate, but I was tired and hoped for a lazy life...Unexpectedly, Yao Ji could find such a place in just a few words.This is probably the reward of power and wealth, and it is easy to get what you want. [

Zhang Xiaomei chased her out and shouted, "It's so cold outside, why doesn't brother put on his clothes?"

Zhang Ning was still looking at the surrounding scenery, so he didn't pay attention to her for a while.At this time, the little girl stretched her hand from his back angrily, and her cold little hand suddenly touched Zhang Ning's skin. Smile: "Is it cold, is it cold?"

"See how I'll deal with you!" Zhang Ning came back to his senses, playing with his heart, and made a gesture to catch her.

Seeing this, the little girl yelled "Yeah", lifted her skirt and ran away.If she didn't run away, Zhang Ning didn't know what to do with her. If she ran away, he would chase her and scare her.Zhang Xiaomei is smart, instead of running to a blind spot, she circles around the table and chairs in the middle.

But she was wearing a long skirt, so she couldn't run faster than Zhang Ning, and she was caught up by Zhang Ning within two turns.Zhang Ning didn't think much about it, and hugged her waist from behind. Zhang Xiaomei was still laughing and yelled coquettishly: "Brother bullies me, bullying the younger is not a hero!"

"I see you are still naughty." Zhang Ning wanted to make a joke, but he was not used to slapstick, and he couldn't master the tricks of jokes. He didn't think much about it and came to the door with Zhang Xiaomei in his arms, and put her arms around her waist to make her lean up Outside, there is a sand lake below, and the foundation is high like a cliff.Zhang Ning said with a smile: "If you are naughty, I will throw you down."

Zhang Xiaomei turned her head and saw that she was so tall, her body lost her center of gravity and she couldn't control it. Zhang Ning, who was holding her, made a gesture to let go, her face turned pale with fright, and she cried "wow".

Her tears were rushing, obviously not pretending.Seeing this, Zhang Ning knew that the joke was serious, so he quickly pulled her up. He felt that her body was soft and her legs were not frightened. .”

Zhang Xiaomei felt even more sad when she heard it for some reason, she turned around and continued crying while wiping her tears with her sleeve.She was crying sadly, but the faces of the servants standing around her were all blushing, so it's best not to be careful not to hold back internal injuries.

Seeing her crying endlessly, Zhang Ning quickly suppressed her smile and went to coax her. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaomei was really angry, she slashed her shoulders and struggled to get rid of his palm.Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "Just kidding, I scared you just now, can't I apologize? It's okay, what's there to be afraid of, do you think I can really leave you behind?"

"I know you won't throw it down on purpose." Zhang Xiaomei choked up, "If you let go of your hand and I fall to my death, you can save yourself the trouble, anyway, no one cares about my life or death."

Zhang Ning was silent for a while, then lightly thumped his left leg with his hand, and sighed: "When the weather is bad, there will be a dull pain in the leg. I don't know when this old injury will heal."

Zhang Xiaomei stopped crying when she heard this. She could easily think of how Zhang Ning's fracture came about. In the fire that night, Zhang Ning didn't care to save her life. How could no one care about her life or death?

She wiped her face and said with a straight face: "You go into the room and put on your clothes."

Zhang Ning took her hand and walked back, and looked at her after returning to the room: "You are so stupid, even if there is an emergency, even if I fall with you, I will not let go." [

The little girl's face flushed slightly, and she was finally coaxed.

Zhang Ning then put on a long robe and a square scarf. He neither wore the uniform of the Suzaku army, nor the yellow brocade robe and the royal uniform. He was dressed as a commoner.In this villa by the water, he looks like a reclusive civil landlord, but he doesn't look like a gentry, because he is too young.

After eating some light porridge, he went to the open hall to sit quietly and watch the scenery, enjoying the leisure.Zhang Xiaomei was busy moving the stove herself to keep warm. She was not a girl from a wealthy family and could do everything at home, so Zhang Ning let her do it.

After sitting still for a while, Zhang Ning couldn't sit still. It was still raining in the cold winter months, and it was very cold by the lake.It doesn't work if there is a fire, because the air is ventilated here, and the heating will be blown away in a gust of wind.Moreover, the roasting fire is only partially heated, and the more roasted, the more afraid of the cold.

It would be much more comfortable in summer, but there should be a lot of mosquitoes in summer, especially near the water plants and trees, there is no gauze, and it would be strange not to be greeted by mosquitoes... But in the fantasy of Jiujiang, the leisurely Taoyuan There is no cold wind and no mosquitoes, is the reality still a little different?

Zhang Ning had no choice but to give up the beautiful scenery. He felt that it would be better to stay in the room. He greeted the guards: "It's cold, it's okay to move around." After hearing this, the woman looked surprised, and immediately recovered, she cupped her fists and said: "We will change the whistle, thank you, my lord, for your concern."

When he returned to the room, he flipped through idle books for a while, and paced around thinking about things for a while.There are no official documents here, and there is no need to meet officials, so it feels good... He is not tired of talking at all, thinking that laziness should be born in human beings, and it is good to have enough food and clothing for everything.

Hearing the sound of light rain rustling on the roof, he walked to the desk, picked up a brush and wrote a poem: The small building listened to the spring rain all night.Why did he write this line of poem in winter? Zhang Ning seemed to recall the acquaintance a few years ago. Yao Ji wrote such a line casually.It is really impossible not to feel her breath, this villa was chosen by her, and it is full of her influence.

The surroundings are extremely "quiet". The sound of rain and gentle waves is the atmosphere of nature, so it is never considered as noise.Zhang Ning couldn't help thinking wildly, thinking about a lot of things sporadically, the most important thing is that some memory details came to mind... No wonder the official has a "Tuisi Hall" to sit quietly and think about things, thinking when alone It is indeed more divergent.

Although he was dizzy from drinking at the banquet yesterday, he remembered one little thing very clearly.Zhang Ning asked Monk Yao to help him drink, but was stopped by Zhou Mengxiong. It was not interesting at first, but what Monk Yao said was very interesting: Don’t blame my nephew, I want to drink for you too, but the old hero Zhou disagreed. .

Is this a casual heartfelt word, or is it pointed?In fact, Zhang Ning didn't know Monk Yao very well, he just thought he was mysterious and liked to play with mysterious things.We are all relatives, and we should help each other, but it seems that it can't be that simple when it involves the distribution of power.Monk Yao probably wouldn't share his anger with Zhou Mengxiong, he should be closer to his sister (Yao Ji) out of reason, and Yao Ji has always been on guard against Zhou Mengxiong.

When I was in Jiujiang, I didn’t decide on Jiangxi’s personnel affairs. I just let the cabinet ministers decide. If Zhang Ning is not satisfied with the result of the five cabinet members’ resolutions, I’m afraid it’s not easy to veto it.

Zhou Mengxiong himself proposed that he would no longer be stationed in Jiangxi to take charge of the third battalion of the New Army. He should be embarrassed to ask for it in the discussion.Monk Yao should be able to hand over Zhou Mengxiong's military power?There are three other people, especially Yang Shiqi, who has the name of chief assistant after all, I hope he can be considerate and show his due level.

Zhang Ning took a few steps and went out to call for someone. He saw that the guards outside did not know each other, so he said, "Send people back to the Chu Palace. There are two things. It is to take Mrs. Zhou over to take care of my daily life."
