Chapter 163 Tanned

After preparing for it, Zhang Ning and others left Fengxia Mountain.

The next thing he should do is to hand over to Yao Ji, but he returned to Changde Mansion first.

The way back was vaguely familiar, and with the guide from Monk Yao, I was familiar with it and it took me four or five days to walk to Changde.

After coming out of the mountainous area in the west and entering Changde City, I felt very noisy and prosperous for a moment.

This place is a town of fish and rice in Dongting. To the east are important towns such as Jingzhou and Changsha. Of course, it is not comparable to those of barren mountainous areas.

Zhang Ning's interview made the residence of the main road on the banks of the Yuanshui River, and there were many beautiful and rich scenery in the tea garden; after returning to the other courtyard behind the garden, it was like a gentle place.

The changes in the environment gave Zhang Ning an illusion that he was familiar and unfamiliar. Perhaps it was the trip to Fengxia Mountain that brought him a different feeling.

Perhaps life is about going through a process, and every time you walk and do something, it makes people feel and change. It may not necessarily make people mature, but at least it can make people change.

Compared with the two hatchbacks, Zhang Ning is more adapted to the environment of Yuanshui Tea Garden. He probably used to living in a bustling and materially abundant city in his previous life; but in this noisy world, he suddenly felt more impetuous and could no longer feel the peace, persistence and simplicity of Fengxia Mountain.

As soon as he came back, he met Zhang Xiaomei. He was immediately shrouded in a gentle and beautiful mood. The younger sister's pure and beautiful face and bright eyes were very contagious; but he temporarily abandoned those dreamy illusions, and just asked Fang Ling and others to meet each other after a few simple questions.

Not seeing such neglect for several months did not make the little girl show any dissatisfaction. She has experience whenever this happens, her brother has important things to be busy with, and she is a relatively sensible girl.

There is no need to have too many languages. You can feel the kind of care by occasionally looking inadvertently. It has a tacit understanding and is easy and simple. Although this tacit understanding is difficult to communicate in words, this is probably one of the reasons why Zhang Ning likes her so much in addition to caring.

After a while, three women came into the living room, Fang Ling, Taohua Fairy, and Zhao Erniang.

Fang Ling is still dressed very delicately like before. She can't see any eye-catching vulgarity on her body, but she can reflect elegance and justity from every detail.

As soon as she came in, she smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang has gone out for several months, are you okay?"You look like you're tanned.

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ning's long coat and gray lining, and this time he did not have a bit of a scholarly temperament.

In fact, no one can walk on that long and rugged road, in this kind of traffic situation, we should not pay too much attention to it, because of the environment.

Zhang Ning smiled, then turned to look at the Peach Blossom Fairy and Zhao Erniang. She saw that the scar on the Peach Blossom Fairy's face was decorated with a red petal by her. Although it looked slightly abrupt, it also became a bit more charming.

He also greeted the two of them for a few words, and then asked at a faster speed: Is there anything wrong with the Tea Garden after I leave? Is there any official documents in the capital?

Zhao Erniang said: We report to the capital regularly according to Lord Zhang’s wishes, but last month received a letter from Hu Ying from the Ministry of Rites, and he asked why Wu Yong’s piece of paper was not seen.After discussing with Miss Gu, I asked someone to use an adult's seal to reply to the letter, saying that the adult and Wu Yong went to Yongshun Si to investigate secretly, but they could not contact us for a while. When I came back, I would like to remind you to report it in person as soon as possible.

Hu Ying was already suspicious and could never delay this matter.Zhang Ning pondered for a moment. If this continues, Hu Ying will definitely send someone to find out.

In an instant, his worries made them feel it. The Peach Blossom Fairy asked softly: How to deal with it?

Zhang Ning quickly recovered his calmness and smiled and said: I have figured out a solution, you don’t have to worry.

After saying that, I couldn't help but say to Zhao Erniang: Erniang's work is very good this time when he stayed in Changde. I will definitely treat you well in the future.

The woman was meticulous, and Zhao Ernie tasted it and blurted out: Lord Zhang can’t believe me?

After hearing this, Zhang Ning was slightly embarrassed. He was not suspicious of Zhao Erniang, but he subconsciously had a sense of more or less guarding. After all, Zhao Erniang was different from Fang Ling and Taohua Fairy.

Fang Ling and the other two were originally from Jianwen, and their position decided that it would not have anything to do with the government; Zhao Erniang used to be an old person from the organization under Hu Ying, and she also had connections in her detailed work. Of course, she had the possibility of leaking secrets. If Wu Yong's death leaked too early, it would be a big trouble.

Moreover, Zhao Erniang often goes to Changde Mansion to interview the decision-making level of the department. After Wu Yong died for several months, she should have noticed what was going on, and she couldn't hide it from it.

It’s not that I can’t believe it, but that I’m afraid you will miss it.Zhang Ning strongly defended.

……

After asking about the matter here, Zhang Ning went straight back to the room and saw her younger sister entering and leaving her room.

She was happy when she saw Zhang Ning: Are you finished your business?I asked someone to burn hot water, you can take a shower and have a good sleep.

On such a hot day, just use cold water to rinse it.Zhang Ning said casually.

The little girl said softly: Hot water to relieve sweating, is it not convenient for you to always take a bath with raw water when you are outside?No wonder it's much darker than before.

Zhang Ning smiled and said: Even you say so.OK, since the hot water is boiled, I will take a shower and change my clothes first... By the way, what I gave you safeguarded last time is still there, right?Help me get it back later.

Still here, how can I not keep what my brother has told me?The little sister said.

So the little sister and two maids carried the bathtub into the warm room and found a clean change of clothes.

Zhang Ning soaked it in hot water, and looked at the folded edges and corners next to him like brand new clothes, and a hint of happiness appeared in his heart.

He had a mentality that everything had to be neat and orderly to be comfortable, but ancient life was not as convenient as modern fast food, and all the expenses had to be handled manually. If no one was taking special care of it, it would probably be too much time spent on housework every day.

Zhang Ning changed into a thin white silk cotton lining, put on a breathable linen robe on the outside, walked out of the inside, and asked the maids to clean up the clothes they had washed.

He walked straight to the desk and looked through a thick sealed envelope on the desk.

By chance, I saw that the bookshelf and the table were spotless, so I turned my head and said softly: I can still be so clean if I don’t have this room. It’s really a embarrassing little girl.

After hearing this, the little sister smiled, as beautiful as the bright moon bay: How did my brother know that I was cleaning up?

Those hired cannot come to clean a house that is unoccupied every day.

Zhang Ning said as he saw a note on the envelope with a few words written on it. He must not lose it. Seeing the tender and clumsy handwriting, he said: The words written by my younger sister are indeed ugly, as if they were too nervous when writing, and each stroke is neat, but it affects the overall calligraphy.

The little girl raised her cute lips and said: I know the words I wrote were not good.

Zhang Ning pulled open the envelope and praised calmly: My little sister's handwriting is not very good, but the smell on her body is very good today.

Yeah?I was too sleepy last night, so I soaked in clean water and fell asleep, without any smell.As the little girl said, she raised her arms and placed her arms in front of her nose and sniffed.

Zhang Ning said casually without looking back: It is necessary for others to smell it. People and pigs and dogs have similarities and can be attracted by the other party's smell.

After saying that, he didn't hear the answer. He was actually thinking about something else in his heart. It took him a long time to realize that his younger sister didn't answer.

When the brother and sister get along, they really have a relationship with each other.

After a long time, I heard my younger sister ask: Brother, there is something with me. Is that half of the jade pendant left to you by my biological parents?

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, looked back at her, and then she lowered her head and avoided her. He felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous, but he couldn't explain why this was happening. He was not at all concerned about the little sister.

He didn't know what to say anymore, so he continued to read the things in the envelope.

This is a secret letter accusing him of collusion with the rebels. It was written by Wu Yong and then handed over to his confidant Zhan Zhuli, who was then sent by Zhan Zhuli to the prefect of Changde Prefecture to try to attract Zhang Ning's attention and create opportunities for Wu Yong to escape north.

Unexpectedly, this superstition was quickly sent to Zhang Ning by the prefect intact, and he did not even dismantle it.

People cannot make a long time to figure things out like Zhuge Liang, so this thing is now valued by Zhang Ning; otherwise, he shouldn't have rushed to kill Wu Yong to silence him and leave his life. Isn't it better to force him to write something more useful to him now?

He read the above carefully, and in addition to reading the memorial he wrote to the emperor, he was sure that he never read a boring thing in such a memorial, not to mention that there were many words that slandered him on it.

However, this content is a lot, including describing the relationship between the Cults and the Rebellion Party, using Zhan Zhuli's eyesight as evidence to make inferences, and of course, it also includes the discovery of Zhang Ning's affair with the Cults and the Rebellion Party.

He looked at it for a long time, then turned around and found a flint to light a fire stick to ignite the candle, and moved the brazier to the table.

After working silently for a while, I picked out a piece of paper, lit it on the candle, and held it up so that the fire could burn very slowly, but my eyes were carefully staring at the location where the fire was burning.

Brother... The little sister couldn't help but say in surprise.

Zhang Ning ignored her and stared at the burning paper with concentration. After waiting for a while, he hurriedly blew out the fire, held it in his hand and looked carefully for a while.

Then he looked back at the little sister: Do you know what I am doing?

The little sister shook her head innocently.

Zhang Ning sighed slightly and said: What I do is boring, maybe the things I like are more interesting.

The little sister sat there, holding her chin and watching him talk intently.

Zhang Ning asked again: Will it be too boring to be by my brother? Is it better to be in my hometown in Nanjing or here?

The younger sister answered seriously: The hometown in Nanjing is good, and there is always nothing to do here.

Then why are you still following me?Zhang Ning said.

The little sister said: I won’t tell you.
