With a bang, the tea cup broke to the ground and porcelain shards flew.
"Oh, I have been hunting geese all day long, but I didn't expect that I was pecked by a sparrow today..."
In the room on the side of the boat, the atmosphere was a bit solemn. A slightly noisy voice came from not far away. Lou Jianlin sat on a chair and looked at the hand that had just thrown the teacup. After a long while, he smiled.
Laughed.
On one side of the room, Lou Shuheng was leaning on a bamboo chair, and a doctor from the Lou family applied medicine to treat his injuries. At this time, the door was closed tightly, and the only people in the room were Lou Shuwan and Song Zhiqian.
Some relatives, friends and descendants of the Lou family were just waiting outside the door at this time. They could obviously hear the sound of the teacup breaking, but Lou Jinlin didn't care.
Just now in the hall, when Su Tan'er made such a strong confession, the Lou family's rebuttal had no effect for a while. Compared with the seriousness at the beginning and the expectations in everyone's hearts, the whole situation was there
At that time, he seemed to be a little arrogant and fell down in the other direction in an instant. After Qian Xiwen and Uncle Mu expressed their opinions, Lu Tuizhi, who originally seemed to be inclined to help the Lou family to convict Ning Lizheng,
There was not much hesitation, and then the tone began to be set for the whole thing.
Lou Shuheng's action was originally for a legitimate matter, but he did it recklessly. A group of students were filled with indignation for this, and their sense of justice was commendable, but it was also an act of impulsiveness. On Ning Yi's side, although his feelings are admirable, but
Even though they held hands in public, they missed Meng Lang. Moreover, during the fight, the shots were too heavy and not modest enough...
When Lu Tuizhi said these words, the rest of the descriptions were just cute embellishments. Afterwards, Ning Yi took the initiative to apologize. Among the people who were beaten there were two students of Uncle Mu.
Changsheng was angry, and they quickly stood up and gave in. Once a rift appeared in a group, the others would be angry and had no choice. Next, Su Tan'er hypocritically said that the compensation for everyone's injuries would be borne by the Su family.
Lu Tuizhi seemed to be giving fifty votes each, but it was no longer possible to convict anyone. Since he couldn't convict anyone, this was still a party. Although there were other things to say, so many people
After being injured, Lu Tuizhi asked Doctor Yiqian to treat everyone first. Lou Jinlin asked the doctor to tell Lou Shuheng that his injury was serious and asked for a room here to rest temporarily. Then, the anger that he had been holding back finally burst out.
At this time, it didn't matter to him who was right or wrong. The Su family was just an outsider, but on such an occasion, they gave him a hard slap in the face. Even Qian Xiwen and Uncle Mu stood by
His opposite, these things cannot be easily revealed.
Lou Shuheng was still muttering "bitch" over there, not loudly, but naturally he could hear it clearly in the room. Lou Jinlin glanced at his son, then turned to his daughter: "What happened today, my Lou family
It's impossible to be kind, Shu Wan, no matter what you think, you are not allowed to interact with Su Tan'er in the future. I want to ask you, after the fight under the boat, were you at the scene? "
Shu Wan nodded, thinking that Wen Qin wanted to blame her for intervening at that time, but Lou Jinlin did not ask this.
"At that time, everyone started fighting, saying that Ning Liheng was having an affair with the maid. When you came forward, Su Tan'er had already arrived, right?"
"Um."
"She didn't say anything at that time?" "Yes." Nodding for the third time, Lou Shuwan was a little doubtful and looked at her father.
Lou Jinlin leaned on the back of the chair and turned his head to look at Lou Shuheng.
"This woman figured out the reason for the fight at that time. From the time she appeared, to getting on the boat, to the whole process, she almost didn't say a word. You think she was disappointed, even I thought so. But
If she had the intention, she could have told everyone about the relationship between the maid and Ning Yi when she appeared under the boat earlier. Why do you think she didn't tell her?" Lou Shuheng blinked, thought for a while, and then said: "She
It's actually a lie, right? She didn't betroth that maid to Ning Yi at all. So she didn't say anything at all when she was down there. It wasn't until she got on the boat that she figured out that this was the only way to save her husband?" Lou Jinlin said.
He clenched his palms into fists on the coffee table, tilted his head to look at his son, and almost hit his fist on the coffee table. After a long while, he restrained himself and put it down gently, and said word by word: "What are you thinking about, Lou Shuheng?"
"Slightly suffocated, Lou Jinlin roared out, "Were you intoxicated by that woman!? When did it happen!?" "Wha, what... no, no..."
"Oh, that woman has thought clearly from the beginning that the matter cannot be solved down below. If she tells below that the maid has been betrothed to Ning Liheng, and when she gets to the ship, everyone will not believe it! She has been there since the beginning.
I was waiting for the next words from the beginning! Hehe, Shu Wan had already talked about sending a box of silkworms before, but in the end, I still underestimated her. In terms of scheming, you brothers and sisters are inferior to her.
A piece of it.
Shu Wan, this is the reason why I asked you not to have contact with her anymore, lest you be taken advantage of by her without knowing it!" His father's words were harsh, and Lou Shuwan could only lower his head in silence, but after a while, Lou Jinlin also said
He smiled and said, "That's good. I heard that the men of the Su family are not worthy, but they have produced such a powerful woman..." "But father, Qian Xiwen and Uncle Mu are now on their side."
, another post from Qian Xiwen, their relationship..."
"It doesn't matter." Lou Jinlin waved his hand, "I was unprepared this time and things happened in a hurry. Qian Xiwen could ignore my Lou family's position. He was just going along with the flow as a favor. Once my Lou family's attitude was firm, he knew
After that, how many things can I take on for Ning Liheng? I won’t talk about it today. You go out first, and I will come over soon..." He signaled to his daughter and son-in-law, Lou Shuwan and Song Zhiqian went out together, and on the way Lou Shuwan
Shu Wan's expression was dull, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Song Zhiqian was also in a mood, lowering his head and thinking deeply. In fact, he was thinking about what Su Tan'er said just now. He had never thought that there was a married couple in the world.
And that's how the married couple lives.
All the way to the lobby, many people were adjusting the order of sitting. In front of the lobby, many people had applied medicine and were talking in groups. If you count the things that happened before by region, Hangzhou people did not take advantage.
, it is inevitable that some people will feel unhappy... But Tang Xiuxuan was saying to everyone at this time, "Men should be broad-minded and correct their mistakes. Although everyone was injured this time, they did seem to be too reckless and unclear. I am in Hangzhou."
If a man has the magnanimity of a Hangzhou man, don't take it to heart." With words like these, these old men came forward and the situation was quickly alleviated.
Someone even stepped forward and said to Ning Yi: "I am indeed reckless in this matter. I would like to apologize to Brother Ning. Brother Ning, please don't take it to heart.
Ning Yi returned the courtesy and said: "This is because I shot too hard, brother, who is to blame?" "Hey, although I was injured, it was my own fault. But let's not hide it from brother Ning. I also hit him twice on him just now.
Boxing, for Brother Ning, is an unreasonable disaster, and this matter is ultimately my fault." The man said this, and both sides smiled and forgot their grudges, and they were in harmony.
In fact, those who dare to do this are mostly people who are not afraid of the power of the Lou family and have a certain background. Such a statement can gain some reputation. Later, some people also talked about the relationship between Ning Yi and his wife, and Ning Yi's poetic talent.
Honor, Ning Yi's hand had been bandaged at this time, and Qian Xiwen could only be heard smiling and talking in front of him.
"...To be honest, although I have read poetry and books for many years and have seen many people and events, I have to say that I have a bit of a disdain for men getting married. Only today, after seeing Li Heng's incident, can I
I have to change some of my thoughts. Li Heng, if you get a wife like this, what else can you ask for? You need to cherish her." Yu Yi nodded in agreement, and Su Tan'er smiled and saluted, expressing his praise to the old man.
Thanks: "Actually, it is Tan'er's good fortune to be able to marry Yu Lang."
Qian Xiwen nodded with a smile: "The two of you are deeply in love, and others will talk about it in the future. It is also a blessing for each other, and we should cherish each other. However, what happened today is really a bit sighing, Li Heng,
The matter of a man getting married is ultimately limited by worldly vision. You can explain it clearly today, but it will inevitably be seen clearly and misunderstood by others tomorrow. I think that since the two of you are so deeply in love, whether you get married or marry a wife, it has already happened.
It's not important anymore. I think it's okay to do this. You two, you might as well take this opportunity to change the marriage contract. Although there is not much precedent for this matter, I think it is still possible. Today, I have Magistrate Lu and I,
Mr. Mu, Mr. Tang and others are here. Can I volunteer to be a matchmaker? You can change your relationship to a man marrying a woman. As for the woman, let's put the marriage certificate, and the subsequent three matchmaking and six certificates are just a formality.
I believe that your marriage will be praised and publicized by others, and there will be less trouble in the future. Liheng is talented, ambitious, and a person who can do great things. In this way, many obstacles will be eliminated.
…”
After he said this, there was a little silence around him, and everyone else was watching the couple's reaction. In fact, if Qin Siyuan was present, he would definitely praise Qian Xiwen for knowing what he was thinking and for being decisive.
For Qin Siyuan, it has always been a worry for him to keep his identity when he met Ning Yi. He did not write Ning Yi's identity in his letters to Qian Xiwen, because he actually thought that he could pass Qian Xiwen's identity.
Put some pressure on Ning Yi. Of course, Qin Siyuan does not expect Qian Xiwen to change Ning Yi, a diehard, which is also a joke. And Qian Xiwen's main purpose of inviting Ning Yi this time is to find out who he is.
What is the situation of the marriage? At this time, it is necessary to correct the identity of this couple. They are worthy of Qin Siyuan's good friends.
Perhaps even the quietness around her was an illusion, because it was Qian Xiwen who almost finished speaking, and Su Tan'er had already lowered her head and bowed: "So, I have thanked you all, but I will let Mr. Qian and you make the decision." Qian Xiwen
Wen was laughing at the top, and everyone was also laughing. Lou Shuwan and others were watching this development from behind. In fact, Ning Yi also had a slight smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at his wife beside him,
At this time, Su Tan'er lowered her head and couldn't see her entire face, but there was a faint crescent-like submissive smile on the side face covered by her hair.
"On the contrary...thank you Qian Lou."
Ning Yi cupped his hands, and everyone was listening to what he said, thinking that it was done. But then, Ning Yi sighed: "However, back then, the Ning family was in ruins, and they didn't even have enough to eat.
, only the Su family extended a helping hand, and Li Heng may have decided to get married because of this. I don’t care about my status as a bride-in-law, and no one in the Su family looks down on me because of my status. If I change it rashly, it will make many people feel unreasonable.
I'm sorry for the embarrassment. I'll take a look below. I'd like to thank Mr. Qian for this matter, but let's maintain the status quo."
Qian Xiwen frowned and looked at Ning Yi seriously, but Ning Yi just raised his hands and smiled.
In fact, this matter can be said to be simple or complex. There are officials such as the Hangzhou magistrate and great scholars such as Qian Xiwen. They have to be matchmakers, witness marriages, and do some things in a reasonable and reasonable manner. They are just simple and small things.
But the etiquette and laws of the world also have their own rules. Once the identities of two people are changed, the marriage certificate is changed, and the six certificates are matched again and again, even if everything remains the same, the changed thing has still been changed.
In Hangzhou, there may be no one talking for a while, and people may talk about it even if they are manipulated by people like Qian Xiwen. But in terms of etiquette and law, after all, it is the same as leaving home to be independent and then marrying Su Taner for the second time.
The nature is gone.
Even though it is still the same marriage, when we return to Jiangning, what will the Su family think of it and what will other people say about Su Tan'er? It is inevitable that there will be some strange things. In fact, from this whole scene, he is the one who gets all the benefits, and all the failures
Su Tan'er is doing all the work and giving, and this is the key to the matter.
He didn't care about these benefits from the bottom of his heart, and he knew about Su Tan'er's temperament. Women in this era didn't have many things that they could strive for and truly own. No matter how much she liked herself, no matter how happy she smiled, she was
Those things actually matter, but why bother.
In fact, it is also because he has pride in his heart and carries his identity. It may be inconvenient to do many things, but anyway, there are not many things he wants to do now. And for his pride, even if he carries his identity, what should he do?
Things don't bother him, he doesn't care at all, and is even arrogant about it. If he wants to make his family unhappy because of this, then there is no need to do something that is not important at all.
Qian Xiwen looked at it for a while and then laughed. His words were still gentle. Li Heng cared about his kindness. This was worthy of praise. However, in the name of carrying the name, he had to do something with his hands and feet. A man should have the ambition to reach the top. Li Heng
He is also talented and learned, and can be said to be both civil and military. Do you not want to devote yourself to art to serve the country in the future? Besides, it is difficult to inherit the incense of the Ning family as a married woman. I believe that Tan'er is also aware of these things."
These two paragraphs are a bit sharp. Ning Yi still smiled and replied: "Actually, Tan'er and I have discussed for a long time that when we give birth to children in the future, one of them will inherit the Su family's business and the other will inherit the Ning family's incense.
This matter is not difficult..."
He said it easily, but he still refused. Su Tan'er was already about to cry because of his last rejection, but she also knew that it would offend people again, so she quickly pulled Ning Yi's sleeve and said with a smile: "Actually...
......... Actually, he, he was too concerned about my concubine... Well, Ning Lang has decided that he will go to Beijing soon, and he has made an appointment with the Qin family's grandfather about this. He is too stubborn, and these things
, I’ll try to persuade him after I’m dead, Grandpa Qian, you, don’t blame him, Master Lu, Grandpa Mu…”
She was previously tough and self-reliant, but now she acted like a woman who was panicking for her husband.
Qian Xiwen couldn't help laughing. He couldn't be angry for a while. He just felt that Ning Yi was really stubborn for this wife. There was really true love between the two of them. He waved and said: "Okay, okay, since you haven't been here for a long time."
If you want to go to Beijing, let Prime Minister Qin handle the matter, so I won't be annoying anymore." Among the others, only Lu Tuizhi knew that Ning Yi had something to do with Qin Siyuan, and everyone else heard Su Tan'er talk about his relationship with Qin Siyuan.
Grandpa Qin had made an appointment to go to Beijing, and he was still wondering who Grandpa Qin was. When he heard what Qian Xiwen said, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that Ning Yi actually had such a relationship.
Lu Tuizhi had heard Qian Yu mention that Ning Yi was related to Qin Siyuan, but it was unclear what the relationship was. He thought that it was probably not a deep connection. Otherwise, why would he just go south to do business with his wife when Prime Minister Qin went to Beijing?
At this time, he was also startled, and mentioned his positioning of Ning Yi in his heart. Then he laughed a few words to smooth things over, and then said: "I heard before that Li Heng is the number one talent in Jiangning, and the water tune song
I also heard the words "Tou, Sapphire Case" and so on. They are really wonderful. I didn't expect that they were really written by Li Heng..."
Yu Yi didn't write poems or lyrics when he came to Hangzhou, and others didn't have a clear understanding of this. The most profound thing was naturally that he had just been typing dozens of people below. At this time, Lu Tuizhi spoke, and everyone became interested.
When I got up, I heard Lu Tuizhi say: "Since Li Heng has been in Hangzhou for two months and has no good works, it can't be justified. How about writing a poem to compare with me, a talented scholar from Hangzhou?" After he said this,
Everyone laughed and was a little curious. Ning Yi thought about it and also smiled.
Lu Tuizhi said to everyone present: "Today's gathering is also a poetry gathering. Poetry should be composed. Just now, everyone was fighting, and something went wrong. In my opinion, I, a talented scholar from Hangzhou, am careful that Xiong Guangbo is not as good as just now."
I have to find my way back to the situation. You might as well do your best and let Li Heng see the majesty of my Hangzhou student. In my heart, it would be best for everyone to ridicule him greatly.
"
Everyone burst into laughter. Lu Tuizhi continued: "However, as for the title of the poem, in order to prevent everyone from still being worried about the talent's affairs and using this matter as the title for our competition today, it is best not to
This is the title of this place. Having been in Hangzhou for two months, Li Heng must have had some feelings about Hangzhou. We are all from Hangzhou, so we might as well write more grandly. With Hangzhou as the title, what do you think?
ah?"
What happened just now made the mood a little tense. After all, Lu Tuizhi's actions at this time are still a bit particular. The topic is larger, relatively easy to write, and easy to mobilize the atmosphere. Most of the talents from Hangzhou will have information after living in Hangzhou for a long time.
, and there are excellent works. It is easy for both parties to solve the problem. For Yu Ningyi, it can be regarded as selling a personal relationship. Anyway, everyone has poems. When the time comes, they will compare and discuss, and it will be good. It can also mobilize the atmosphere.
coming.
After he said this, everyone nodded and looked more or less at Ning Yi in front of the hall.
Lou Shuwan knew that Ning Yi was a talented man, but she had never seen him writing poetry or lyrics, so she was still curious. Su Taner had never seen him participate in such a formal literary event, so she turned to look at him. She only saw him smiling.
He smiled, nodded happily and said, "That's fine, just bring a pen and paper."
This is probably the most straightforward poem he has ever written in public. Everyone whispered to each other: "He must have done it before." "Let's see how it goes." This is a big topic, and they have it in stock anyway.
They were all fine products, and some people laughed and said: "I have mine too, and I have mine too, let's compare." Then someone brought papers and pens, four or five copies in total, and many people were watching and waiting.
Will take action.
The rice paper was spread out, Su Tan'er was studying ink, and Ning Yi was holding the brush. People who were interested in this matter gathered in groups in front of them, and some people poked their heads over. Lou Shuwan had seen Ning Yi's violence.
, who had never seen a poet before, he also leaned over to watch. Soon after, Ning Yi put down his pen and wrote on the round table.
The crowd was silent. People who had not joined in the fun in the distance raised their heads and looked at the changes in things curiously. At a certain moment, someone quietly read a name. After a while, the name spread to other tables and other writers.
The person who wrote the poem listens to know himself and the enemy. The name has three words: "Looking at the sea tide..."
"Wang Hairan.
"Looking at the sea tide..." "It's called looking at the sea tide." "Looking at the sea tide over there..." Looking at the sea tide, looking at the sea tide, looking at the sea tide, looking at the sea tide...
"Looking at the sea tide? What is that?," someone asked softly.
