PS: Everyone¡¯s love has regrets and satisfactions. This chapter writes about two emotions, and I feel a little emotional. Well, what I want to say is, get a monthly ticket. Chapter 854 The most proud thing The sky is clear, as if it has been washed by water. There is a coolness in the early spring air, and there seems to be a faint smell of sea brought from the east. Maybe this is just an illusion, but the wind is indeed refreshing. So Fang Jie was a little regretful that he couldn't go and see it when he got to the sea. "But you can't go to the sea in early spring. The water is too cold, and even people who live by the sea won't take risks. Cramping in the water will be fatal. The window of the carriage was raised, and the scenery outside the window was panoramic. "How far is it to Shengfangting Ancient Town?" Mo Ningzhi asked. Fang Jie calculated the distance and replied: "At this speed, we will be able to reach Shengfang Pavilion tomorrow night at the latest." "Oh" Mo Ningzhi said oh, seeming a little disappointed. "What's wrong?" Fang Jie asked. Mo Ningzhi raised her head and glanced at him. The look in her eyes confused Fang Jie. This was a look that Mo Ningzhi had never seen before. It seemed very familiar, but Fang Jie just couldn't remember how familiar it was. When they were in Chang'an City, Mo Ningzhi looked at him with charming eyes, and when they met later, Mo Ningzhi looked at him with cold eyes. This was the first time this kind of look appeared in her eyes. If Fang Jie was smart enough to understand the relationship between men and women, he would have understood it already, but he had always been a little confused about this kind of thing. "Nothing." Mo Ningzhi took a breath, and then regained her composure: "I was just thinking, now that no one around you is here, it's just you and me alone. With such a good opportunity, should I kill you or not? Kill you. It's a matter of course, I won't kill you I can't think of a reason yet." Fang Jie was startled, and then smiled sarcastically: "Then think about it slowly, it's better not to think about it for the rest of your life." "What did you say? " Mo Ningzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, but Fang Jie still didn't feel the change in her emotions. "Let you think about it slowly." He said. "Behind." Mo Ningzhi said. "Think about it forever?" Fang Jie said after recalling his words. I don¡¯t know why, but Mo Ningzhi¡¯s face suddenly turned red and she looked away from Fang Jie. Although Fang Jie could clearly see the change in her expression at this moment, he didn't know exactly what she was thinking. So Fang Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that a woman's thoughts are indeed the most difficult thing to guess in the world. He is now a famous figure in the Sui Dynasty. Almost no intrigues in this world can be hidden from him anymore. He has changed from the young boy walking at the foot of the mountain to a prince standing on the mountainside. He can easily see through the machinations of all his opponents, but he cannot see through a woman's thoughts. "I'm tired." Mo Ningzhi said three words lightly, then closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage to rest. Fang Jie was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to lower the curtain of the carriage, then pulled the brocade quilt over and gently covered her body. Fang Jie knew that she did not fall asleep so quickly, but she never opened her eyes from beginning to end. Fang Jie rubbed his nose, turned around and sat reading a book. Mo Ningzhi carefully pulled the brocade quilt up to cover her face. Under the corner of the quilt, a peach blossom quietly appeared on the face that looked like a fairy, and the smile secretly outlined on the corner of her mouth was a little shy. . If Fang Jie saw her expression at this time, he might understand what she was thinking, but she was also proud, so even if she felt a little satisfied in her heart, she was unwilling to expose it. These two people are so tired. The team was not moving very fast. The scouts in front had already arranged their accommodation in a small village called Yao'an. They found a family who seemed to be well-off and paid enough money. Rented the entire backyard of this family's home. Although they only stayed for one night, because they were given enough money, the family was particularly attentive and busy helping the people from the Xiao Riding School clean the yard behind. "My lord, the clothes you are wearing don't look like they belong to the local government. Where are you from?" After making some money in business, he returned to the village and bought a large piece of land for retirement. The head of the family was in his fifties. Although this man has lived a life of worry-free life for several years, his face still has traces of the hardships he experienced when he was running a life. This kind of struggle is like a knife carved on the man's face, and the more he becomes The aging is more obvious. "Zhongyuan" led the team from the Xiaoqi Riding School Baihu who responded calmly.He answered with two words and said nothing more. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to reveal anything, the old man simply stopped asking. He had been in business, so he knew how scary curiosity can be. "There are some new beddings at home. If you don't mind them, I'll bring them over." He asked tentatively. "No need." The hundred households shook their heads: "We use everything ourselves, so don't worry about it. If you have nothing to do, you can go back and rest. We will just clean up the yard ourselves." The old man nodded quickly and turned around quickly. Step away. "Old man, who are those people?" The old woman, who was much less timid, pulled him over and asked in a low voice: "Just for the money, you dare to bring them in, who knows who are living in there? First, what are you going to do about the gangsters?" "You still don't believe in my eyesight?" The old man smiled proudly: "I was a big business person back then, and I had a certain sense of judgment about these people. With their cold aura, one could tell at a glance that they were from the army, and they were not just any ordinary army, they must be a warrior who had experienced many battles. The brocade clothes they wore looked a bit like the imperial guards in Chang'an City. The style of the house has been blurred since I saw it before So don't worry, it will definitely not be a robber, but someone from the public servants. If we are lucky and we entertain a big shot, our son's future will be bright. "It's settled." He sighed and said, "I started working as a businessman because I really had no other options. Although I became rich later, I was still looked down upon when I returned to the village. So what if my family was well off? How could I do it? Let your son run around in life? Although there is chaos in the Sui Dynasty, Eastern Xinjiang is still peaceful. Our son is smart and sensible. If the big shot comes, you can let him go around the backyard. If you get better, you won't be lucky. "It's just what you think." The old woman quickly turned around and glanced at her son who was sitting in the yard reading: "Dingbei, come here and let your father explain something to you!" The 6-year-old young man agreed happily, with a bright smile in his eyes when he faced his parents. Although this young man was not outstanding in appearance, he was better than a clean one. Clean face, clean eyes, clean smile. The old man called his son over and whispered for a long time. The old woman sat aside and picked up her sewing, looking at her only son who was only born in middle age, with loving eyes. "I asked you to go to a private school, but you said the private school teacher was too old-fashioned. When I asked you to go to a county school, you said the professors at the county school were too stiff." The old man's seemingly dissatisfied tone was not his intention. The look in his eyes Love has long since betrayed his heart. "If you don't have status, you can't take the provincial examination, so it's too difficult to get fame. I originally wanted to spend all my savings and go to the county to donate you an official position, but you also know how many people are richer than our family. They are all staring at the few empty seats. The magistrate cares about money rather than people. If our family can't afford as much as others, you won't be able to get in. " The young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. "Okay, I have my own plan." "What are you planning?" the old man asked. "Now there is peace in Eastern Xinjiang, but there is chaos in the Central Plains." Speaking of this, the young man's eyes gradually brightened: "Even if you get ahead in the provincial examination, you just have a less honorable identity. With that identity, if you fail to pass, you will not be able to pass the examination. Why don't I starve to death even if the land can't be planted? So I don't want to go to the county school or go to the provincial examination. I have thought about it Mu Mansion will send troops to the Central Plains sooner or later. I will sign up to join the army in a while. Although my body is not strong, But my handwriting is beautiful enough. If the Mu Mansion recruits soldiers, I will need many secretaries and other clerks. I am confident that I can choose them." He raised his head and looked at the eagle soaring in the sky: "I don't know. I know martial arts but cannot practice, but I want to be a great general, just like the Confucian general Li Xiao during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Sui Dynasty, and create unparalleled achievements!" "You kid, you are thinking wildly all day long!" The old man glared at him: " Join the army? It's a narrow escape! I tell you, even if the Mu Mansion is recruiting you, you can just pick up my old business and go into business. The shopkeeper of Tianxiaxing has a good personal relationship. I will take you there when the time comes. You will at least have a worry-free life in Huotong Tianxiaxing, which is far more practical than that Confucian general like you!" "Father, you can't be so short-sighted." "Young man. Lang argued in a low voice. "Am I short-sighted?" The old man raised his hand to strike, but in the end he was reluctant to give up: "I tell you, you, me, have seen the big world at the beginning, so what do you care about studying?"?Have you ever seen an official as big as a marquis? Back when I was in Dengping City, I saw the bulk gold market when goods were sold all over the world! He was a world-famous man, and I can still remember his appearance. " "Marquis is not an official title, it is a title" The young man said in a low voice, and then smiled and avoided his father's second slap on the hand. "It's nothing to do business. The old woman sitting on the side smiled and said, "If your father hadn't been able to do business, would our family's life be as good as it is now?" Although people say that scholars, farmers, and merchants have the lowest status, but we have meat every day and new clothes every year. This is enough, isn't it? " "How dare I say yes to doing business? " The old man said: "The time when goods are sold all over the world isthe time of loose gold? " His words suddenly stopped, and his mouth opened so wide that he could easily stuff an egg into it. His eyes were looking at the door, and the expression on his face was incredible. Outside the door, a little donkey showed no mercy. Reluctantly he stopped, and a middle-aged man in cloth jumped off the donkey's back, hugged his fists towards the old man and said kindly: "Brother, I'm really tired when I pass by here. Can I borrow it for one night? I can pay you money. "The old man rubbed his eyes vigorously and murmured: "It really looks like itbut it's definitely not the case. How could Sanjinhou show up at my door riding a broken donkey? I still remember his pomp and circumstance"?¡ At the entrance of the village, a farmer pushed a wheelbarrow and stopped. There was a young woman with handsome features sitting in the cart. The farmer raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the village and said, "Madam, what do you want?" Why don't you stay here tonight? " The young woman glanced at the farmer with a charming look, and said shyly: "You are the head of the family, you just make the decision. You might as well take a rest, you ungrateful fellow. I felt so uncomfortable from tossing around in the woods before, and now my legs are still sore and weak. The farmer smiled proudly and lowered his voice: "This is what we are strong at!" "The young woman rolled her eyes at him, with a look of spring in her eyes. "It seems that this couple is very ordinary, just like the husband sending his wife back to her parents' home. This wheelbarrow is also the most ordinary, every household in the village has it. "Eh" The farmer suddenly saw a man riding a donkey entering the village on the other side of the village. He couldn't help but smile: "We have to live outside the village tonight. Fortunately, we brought some thick clothes. When the Marquis entered the village, we stood guard outside and took care of him inside and outside if anything happened. "The young woman hummed, and her face gradually became serious. "It seems that it will not be easy to deal with. The Marquis is also here" She was silent for a while and then shook her head: "Old man, tell me, what are you most proud of in your life? What's the matter? " "Marry you!" " The old-fashioned farmer, who was called old-fashioned, nodded vigorously: "So, no matter how difficult things are to deal with tonight, I will die in front of you. Don't be afraid, I will fall at your feet, and you won't feel any pain if you fall again. " "Idiot, you still feel pain when you are dead? " "Then I won't let you throw it! The young woman smiled, with bright eyes: "Old-fashioned, do you know what I am most proud of in my life?" " "What? " "marry you! "
