"tell me the story."
"Brother-in-law, I want to join the Jin Yiwei."
Cai Yi's face was full of hope. Ning Fan looked surprised and said with a smile: "You are a disciple of a noble family and don't want to inherit the family business. Why do you want to join the Jin Yiwei?"
"Brother-in-law, a behemoth like the Lu family can fall down at the drop of a hat, but he still has the majesty of holding a knife in his hand!"
"You kid..."
Ning Fan pondered for a moment and said softly: "Now that His Highness King Yong is here, the entire land of Huainan is in ruins. Jin Yiwei is not suitable for you, but you can give the Overwatch Council a try!"
"The Overwatch Council?"
"Um!"
Ning Fan looked at Cai Yi's confused look and said calmly: "Don't worry, the Overwatch Council has as much power in Huainan as the Jin Yiwei!"
"Okay, thank you brother-in-law!"
"Okay, let's talk about business. Come with me to meet your sister!"
"okay!"
The two of them came to Cai Yan's attic together. Xin'er was carefully teaching Huang Waner embroidery, while Cai Yan was sitting in the pavilion checking the account books.
When everyone saw Ning Fan's figure, they stood up one after another. Cai Yan also had a blush on his face and looked at him with a smile.
"Where have you been so early in the morning?"
"Wander the streets!"
Ning Fan took advantage of the situation and sat down in front of Cai Yan and said softly: "You need to rest more in these two days. Just leave the business in the house to the servants."
"Um!"
Cai Yan responded and looked at Cai Yi aside: "Why are you here?"
"I asked him to come."
"Cai Yi, this kid has a smart mind. You've been a little tired these days. Leave the salt store business to him!"
"Salt shop...leave it to me?"
Cai Yi looked at Ning Fan with a surprised look on his face. He knew that the entire family had been working hard on the layout of the salt store in the past two days. Even the third uncle rushed back from outside, but now his brother-in-law actually opened his mouth to ask for Leave the salt business to him?
"how?"
"you are not willing?"
"No..." Cai Yi's face turned red from holding back, and she whispered softly: "I have never taken care of the family business, brother-in-law, if the salt shop is really left to me to take care of it, I'm afraid it will be closed down in less than three days. !”
"Haha, you still know yourself!"
Ning Fan gave a teasing laugh and continued: "You don't need to take care of things. I just need to show my name and show up from time to time."
"oh!"
Cai Yi nodded dully, then saw Ning Fan waving his hand and saying softly: "Okay, you go ahead. When you get to the Sheriff's Mansion, find someone named Guo Jia."
"okay!"
Cai Yi walked away in a hurry, and Ning Fan looked at Cai Yan, his eyes gradually becoming playful.
"Come on, let's go out for a walk!"
"Where to go?"
"Take to the streets!"
Hearing the word "going to the streets", Cai Yan showed a hint of hesitation on his face. Now that she has not left the cabinet, if someone sees her...
"I'm going to change clothes!"
"good!"
…
Jiangnan.
In a village with beautiful mountains and clear waters, the sound of reading can be heard loudly in the thatched hut. Outside the thatched hut, a young man is sitting, holding a book on war in his hand, as if he has found a treasure!
"Jiuwazi, you little piece of wood has suddenly enlightened and learned to read!"
"Hey, just think about it casually, it's hard to reach the level of elegance."
"Hey, you melon boy, you are so lucky!"
"Have you decided to marry Miss Li?"
"Um!"
When mentioning marriage, Ji Jiuhan smiled and nodded.
Uncle Qi walked up with a hoe, sat down next to him, and said with a smile: "Since you like reading, why don't you go to the house and listen to Mr. Bai's teachings?"
"Uncle Qi, I'm studying military literature, Mr. Bai doesn't understand!"
"Book of war!"
"You melon kid are you planning to become a general?"
When Ji Jiu heard the word "general", the silly smile on his face suddenly froze. He didn't know how long it took before he said softly: "Yes, if there is a chance, I will definitely ride on my horse and whip and lead thousands of troops to wear armor again." , go to that side and have a walk!”
"Why!"
"Silly boy, it's good to be back alive!"
"You are the only melon kid in our village who has come back, so don't be stupid again!"
Uncle Qi shook his head and saw that the sounds in the hut gradually became noisier. He grinned with old yellow teeth and said, "School is over. These melon boys are so lucky to meet Mr. Bai!"
"I want to make a career in the future!"
Ji Jiu also nodded and looked towards the hut, only to see children of six or seven years old walking out of it, followed closely by a burly middle-aged figure.
"Mr. Bai!"
The folks in the village also came over in groups, some carrying rice noodles, some carrying eggs, and some carrying a killed old hen!
"Goodbye sir!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Bai Qi nodded one by one and saw a group of villagers gathered around him: "Mr. Bai, I brought you half a bucket of rice."
"Mr. Bai, my old hen laid eggs."
"This old hen..."
Seeing the enthusiastic faces of the villagers, Bai Qi, who had always been stern-faced, showed a touch of emotion and shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it."
"Take them all back!"
"Mr. Bai, this is not okay, this is the wishes of the villagers!"
Bai Qi had never encountered such a scene before, and he didn't know how to refuse, so he stood in front of the hut and remained silent.
The villagers enthusiastically put down their things and led their children away.
"Master!"
"Xiaojiu, look what I caught!"
An eccentric girl came bounding over with a pheasant in her hand, and an arrow stuck in the pheasant.
Bai Qi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "You sneaked into the mountains to hunt again?"
"whee!"
"Master, don't I want to make some soup for you?"
"Hey, these are..."
"It's a gift from the folks. You can send it back to them later."
"oh!"
Ning Yao nodded and looked at Ji Jiu aside: "Xiao Jiu, how do you read? Do you understand?"
"This magical marching method is really exquisite. Reading its few words is like enlightenment. I have benefited a lot!"
Ji Jiu looked at the military book in his hand and said with emotion.
"Miss Ning, do you know who wrote this military book?"
"whee!"
Ning Yao glanced at him playfully and said softly: "You might as well take a guess."
"guess?"
Ji Jiu was a little at a loss, but Bai Qi on the side put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Tell me what you think!"
"This wonderful marching method, although it focuses on marching, can be explained in detail, but it contains great truth!"
"Such as annihilating the enemy to achieve victory, the advantage of attacking fortresses, and defeating the enemy by killing them, this kid is deeply touched by it."
"good!"
Bai Qi nodded appreciatively and said softly: "This book focuses on the logistics and transportation of the march, the marching formation and the formation of the array!"
"If you are able to understand it at your age, you are indeed enlightened."
"Yao'er, give him a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War"."
"Yes, Master!"
