Chapter 468 Waterfront Tower

When he was drunk yesterday, Zhang Ning vaguely remembered that he was being held onto the carriage by someone, and then he couldn't remember it clearly.

When he woke up, he first saw Zhang Xiaomei wiping the table with a rag. He moved for a while and felt that the place was very strange. It was not like the house he had lived in before. He could hear the soft sound of water and water in his ears, which should be the sound of waves slapping on the shore.

The Chu Palace is an artificial lake, but where does the waves come from in a pool of water?

elder brother.Zhang Xiaomei turned around and called out, and ran over and said, It's already afternoon, you can really sleep.

Zhang Ning responded casually, getting off the bed and putting on his shoes, the first thing he thought of was to open the door and see where he was.

Cruff.

As soon as the wooden door opened, he suddenly widened his eyes.

I saw a large hall outside, and the line of sight was seen from near to far. The wall on the front was empty, and a large area of ​​water outside came into view.

I seem to have seen such a scene somewhere. By the way, it was in a dream. Although there was a little difference, it was almost like this.

He didn't wear any coats, so he walked out in underwear and came to the gate threshold and looked around. He saw that it seemed to be the shore of Shahu, because only Shahu in Wuchang City has such a large area of ​​almost endless water.

I didn't know the direction for a moment, because it was light raining in the sky and I couldn't see the sun.

This house is close to Shahu and has no 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. There are two square wooden tables placed next to the door, with paper, pen, Yantai and other objects placed on it. It looks like a big pavilion or an open hall, but it is not. The entire wall on the front is divided into several gates. If the door is closed, it should be made of wide door panels, otherwise there would be no such wide door, as if you saw the doors of some shops on the street.

At this time, several doors connected together were open, so the vision was extremely wide.

Looking down from here, there is a lake next to the stone foundation, and there is a withered reed pole by the lake, swaying back and forth in the wind and rain, as if dancing.

There is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the pavilions on the island are looming in the smoke and mist.

Several black-sailed boats drifted in the wind on the water, and there was no noise in the city around them, like a paradise.

It must have been arranged by Yao Ji. The boats on the water should be patrolling and guarding people on the provincial guards.

He remembered that he had mentioned this to Yao Ji, but in fact he was just talking casually.

At that time, I was depressed in Jiujiang and thought that I could have such a place to stay away from the world, but I was just tired and hoped for a lazy life...

Unexpectedly, Yao Ji could really find such a place in a few words.

This is probably the reward of power and wealth, and whatever you want can be easily satisfied.

Zhang Xiaomei chased her out and shouted: It’s so cold outside, why don’t my brother put on his clothes?

Zhang Ning was still looking at the scenery around him and didn't care about her for a while.

At this time, the little sister put her hand in from his back without any worries. The cold little hand suddenly hit Zhang Ning's skin. He immediately took a breath from the gap between his teeth. The little sister immediately laughed: Are you cold, are you cold?

Let's see how I deal with you!Zhang Ning came to his senses and had fun, so he made a gesture to catch her.

Seeing this, the little sister screamed, lifted her skirt and ran away.

Zhang Ning didn't know what to do with her if she didn't run away, so she would naturally chase her and scare her when she ran away.

Zhang Xiaomei is smart. She doesn't run to the dead corner and just circles around the table and chairs in the middle.

But she was wearing a long skirt and could not beat Zhang Ning. She was caught up by Zhang Ning after turning two laps.

Zhang Ning didn't think much about it, and hugged her from behind and hugged her. Zhang Xiaomei was still smiling, and shouting coquettishly: Brother bullies me, bullying the big and bullying the little one is not a hero!

You're still naughty.

Zhang Ning wanted to make a joke, but he was not a person who was used to fighting and could not master the joke skills. Without thinking, he hugged Zhang Xiaomei to the door, held her waist and let her lean out. There was a sand lake below, and the foundation was very high like a cliff.

Zhang Ning smiled and said: If you are naughty, I will throw you down.

Zhang Xiaomei looked back and saw that she was so tall, her body lost its center of gravity and was not under her control. Zhang Ning, who was holding her, made a move to let go. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she cried.

Her tears were thundering, obviously not pretending.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning was joking and quickly pulled her up. She felt that her body was soft and her legs were not scared. He couldn't help laughing and said: He is so brave, he can't afford to lose and he still likes to tease.

When Zhang Xiaomei heard this, she felt even more sad for some reason. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and turned around and continued to cry.She cried sadly, but the close servants standing around her face turned red. If you don’t care, don’t hold it in your internal injuries.

Seeing that she had been crying, Zhang Ning hurriedly stopped her smile and went to coax her. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaomei was really angry and cut her shoulders and struggled to get rid of his palm.

Zhang Ning hurriedly said kindly: Just a joke, 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 throw you away?

I know you won't leave it on purpose.Zhang Xiaomei choked and said, "If my hand is loose and I will fall to death, you can save you the trouble, no one cares about my life or death anyway."

Zhang Ning was silent for a while, gently beat his left leg with his hand, and sighed: When the weather is bad, the leg will be painful. I don’t know when this old injury will heal.

When Zhang Xiaomei stopped crying when she heard this, she easily remembered how Zhang Ning broke out. The fire that night, Zhang Ning ignored her life 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 can go into the house and put on your clothes first.

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

The little girl's face turned slightly red, and she finally got coaxed.

Zhang Ning then put on a long robe and put on a square scarf. He did not wear the uniform of the Vermilion Bird Army, nor did he wear the royal family uniforms, and was dressed in a sage.

In this waterside villa, he looks like a retired civilian landlord, but he is not very similar as a gentry because he is too young.

After eating some light porridge and vegetables, he went to the open hall to sit quietly and watch the scenery, enjoying such leisure.

Zhang Xiaomei was busy moving the stove to keep warm in person. She was not a daughter from a wealthy family and could do all the work at home, so Zhang Ning could do her.

After a while, Zhang Ning couldn't sit too much. It was raining in the cold winter and the lakeside was very cold.

It doesn’t work if it’s fired, it’s airy here, and the heating will be blown away with a gust of wind.

Moreover, roasting the fire is only partially heated, and the more you roast it, the more you become, the more you fear the cold it is.

It may be much more comfortable in summer, but in summer there should be many mosquitoes, especially near water, plants and trees, and there is not even a screen window. It would be strange if you are not greeted by mosquitoes...

But in the fantasy of Jiujiang, the leisurely paradise had neither cold wind nor mosquitoes. Is it true that reality is still a little different?

Zhang Ning had to give up the beautiful scenery and felt that it would be better if he stayed still. He greeted the person standing by: It's cold, and you can do everything around if you have nothing to do.

The woman with a bun like a man looked surprised after hearing this, then came back to her senses and clasped her fists and said: We will change the whistle, thank you for your concern.

He returned to the room and flipped through the idle books and strolled around to think about things.

There are no official documents here, and there is no need to meet officials, so it feels good...

He doesn't think it's boring at all. I think laziness should be born to humans, and it's great to have nothing to worry about when doing nothing.

Listening to the rustling rain on the roof, he walked to his desk, picked up his brush and wrote a poem: Listen to the spring rain in the small building overnight.

Why did you write this poem in winter? Zhang Ning seemed to remember the recognition of each other a few years ago. Yao Ji wrote this line of words casually.

It is true that I can't help but feel her breath. This other house was chosen by her and it is full of her influence everywhere.

The surroundings are so quiet. The sound of rain and gentle waves are the atmosphere of nature, so people are never considered noise.

Zhang Ning couldn't help but think about a lot of things, and the most important thing was that some memories came to his mind...

No wonder the official has a special official who retreats to the hall of thought and sits quietly and thinks about things. When you are alone, your thinking is indeed quite divergent.

Although I was fainted at the banquet yesterday, there was a small thing he remembered very clearly.

Zhang Ning asked Monk Yao to help him drink, but was stopped by Zhou Mengxiong. It was not interesting, but Monk Yao said something interesting: Don’t blame me, I also want to have a drink for you, but Old Master Zhou disagreed.

Is this a casual and careless word, or is it meaningless?

In fact, Zhang Ning didn't know much about the uncle Yao Monk, and only thought he was mysterious and liked to tinker with some mysterious things.

Everyone is a relative and should have helped each other, but it seems that it cannot be that simple to involve the distribution of power together.

Monk Yao shouldn't be angry with Zhou Mengxiong. He should be closer to his sister (Yao Ji), and Yao Ji has always been guarding against Zhou Mengxiong.

When he was in Jiujiang, he did not decide on the personnel affairs of Jiangxi. He only said that he would let the officials of the cabinet decide, and he would have made all the words. If Zhang Ning was dissatisfied with the result of the decision made by the five cabinet members, it would probably be difficult to reject it at that time.

Zhou Mengxiong himself proposed that he would no longer be stationed in Jiangxi to take charge of the military power of the Third Battalion of the New Army. He should be embarrassed to ask for it in the matter.

Monk Yao should follow the flow and divide Zhou Mengxiong's military power?

There are three more people, especially Yang Shiqi, who is the name of the prime minister after all, and I hope he can think carefully and show his due level.

Zhang Ning walked a few steps and went out to call people. He saw that the guards outside didn't know each other. He said: Send someone back to the Chu Palace, two things are: one is to ask Taohua Fairy and Xin Wei to come here to take charge of the affairs, and the other is to take Mrs. Zhou over to take care of my daily life.
