Things related to martial arts are not that urgent. Since several people in the family disagree with it after seeing the small martial arts school, it can be put aside for the time being. At worst, they can discuss moves with Geng Huyuan and others in the future and then leave.
When he was in Jiangning, he had actually considered asking for a spar with Geng Nursing Home and others at home. For him, the first few times he fought with others relied on calmness, calculation and the ruthlessness to be willing to take risks.
It is a conditioned reflex developed after a long period of practice. This cannot be achieved by using tricks.
He also knew that it was unrealistic to go out to seek apprenticeships. For example, it would not be easy for him to find the leader of the Hundred Swords Alliance, Cheng, or the Jianghu people who had been around for a while through Kang Xian. Even Lu Agui, who was following Kang Xian, might not be easy.
These people are related to each other, and it is no problem to become their disciples, but things like that have different concepts. To him, it is just a game mentality, so it is not easy to trouble these people very formally. There is a gap in civil and military status. If he goes
While becoming a disciple, he said that "I actually don't really care about this" is actually too frivolous and should not be done unless it is really a relationship between good friends and brothers.
It would be easier to go directly to the family. He taught Geng Huyuan’s son to read. Geng Huyuan respected him and was reluctant to take action. This is not a big problem. After talking about it for a while, it will be solved. But the key is that Jiang Ningsu
Everyone in the family basically has the same concept as Su Tan'er and the three maids. Even those who are hostile to him feel in their hearts that he should not really touch any martial arts.
That time, he convinced Geng Huyuan and basically settled the opinions of Su Tan'er and others. He was so excited that he practiced at home for a few days. On the first day, Geng Huyuan couldn't hold back and punched him in the face.
He punched Ning Yi, and then refused to fight with Ning Yi again. He finally persuaded him again, but the fight was fierce the next day. Ning Yi was punched several times on his body and one on his eye, leaving him to sleep at night.
I rode a black wheel and had dinner with my family.
For him, he was mentally prepared to be injured during the sparring session. In essence, his skills were not very high, and the extreme method of exerting force after practicing his internal strength was not easy to use with Geng Huyuan. Although Geng Huyuan was considered
He is not a famous master in the world, but in the Su family for so many years, he has seen many real battles with swords and guns. It is said that sometimes the Su family escorted goods, Geng Huyuan accompanied him to command, and even defeated several groups of bandits head-on.
, his hands are very tricky.
Ning Yi had a fair competition with him, and such a result showed that he forced Geng Huyuan to be unable to hold back sometimes, which was already very good. He planned to fight like this for half a year, and with the effect of his internal strength, he would be more or less half
He was a martial arts master, but he caused Geng Huyuan a lot of pain behind his back. When he got home, his son said, "Dad, how could you beat Mr. like that?"
On the third day, Geng Huyuan was hardly able to fight back, so Ning Yi gave him some ideological work and then hit him again. As a result, he was hit again in the nose, which caused blood to flow. He had to patch his wound.
It's not serious, but when the old lady saw it at home, she lost her temper and called the others to yell, "Do you think I'm dead?" Later, Geng Huyuan was found, and Geng Huyuan was arrested again.
The hospital called him and gave him a scolding.
At that time, Ning Yi learned about the situation and made some excuses. "He is very eloquent and has a natural aura when doing things, but in this matter, his family felt that it was really weird for him to do such a thing. They knew that Ning Yi
Yi usually likes to tell some legendary stories about the world, but young people have a fierce temper and just need to practice their chivalrous style. There is no such thing as Ning Yi, an already famous scholar who beats him black and blue all day long. The old lady just couldn't laugh or cry.
: "What a nonsense..."
Then he said to Geng Huyuan: "Uncle Ning likes to make mischief. You are an old man in the family. How can you be so ignorant..."
After that, Ning Yi also knew that it was not easy to do these things at Jiangning's house, but this time when he came to Jiangning, only Su Tan'er and others were around. When the matter was settled, he could naturally force Geng Huyuan to follow him again.
Do it yourself. If Wen Ding and Wen Fang have something to say, you can naturally scold them and then ask them to come over and exercise together.
The matter was decided, and the next morning, he ran to find Mr. Qian whom Mr. Qin had informed him about. According to Mr. Qin's words, this man's name was Qian Jingru, and his courtesy name was Xiwen.
His old friend loved books very much, so he asked Ning Yi to hand over a few books from his collection, but he didn't say much about the rest.
However, after arriving in Hangzhou, Ning Yi asked someone to inquire, and he roughly knew that the Qian family should be considered a well-known family in Hangzhou. At least the fact that Qian Xiwen went out to give lectures could be found out from ordinary people, which explained it.
At this point, Ning Yi also knew that Qin Siyuan's move of asking him to deliver the letter was not simple. It was more or less introducing him to a powerful person. However, his interactions with Mr. Qin and Kang Xian were purely accidental. Ning Yi would not think that he would always
I was able to talk to the old man, so I didn't have any thoughts about this when I went there this time. I just sent him a letter.
This morning I took Xiaochan out and asked a few questions about the Qian family. I found out that the Qian family was not only a prominent family in Hangzhou, but also a famous landowner from all over the country. It was said that his family was extremely wealthy. This person's surname was Qian.
1 Bu Chan's mind immediately burst into a scene of glittering golden explosions, and he jokingly told Ning Yi on the way.
It was only when we arrived at Qian's Mansion that we realized that the Qian's home was quite far away from Jin Guang Shining. Although the enclosed houses and courtyards were popular among people, this courtyard group on the east side of Hangzhou seemed to have been around for a long time.
What came down was not an external outbreak, but the discipline and simplicity of strict housekeeping.
Ning Yi announced his name at the door, handed over the letter and book, and the old concierge came in and asked the master and servant to wait in the concierge. After a while, an old housekeeper came out to greet him, not to go to the living room, but to lead the way.
He led them to the "master's study". Along the way, Chan'er looked around curiously. The surrounding walls, buildings, and roads did not seem big. Compared with Jiangningsu Mansion, they seemed not to be as big, but they all felt just right.
Regular signs of repairs can be seen in the place, but it is not shabby. The decorations in many places have a bookish atmosphere, probably because generations of people have lived there for a long time, and many small places can show their agility.
The breath comes.
, "The atmosphere of a distinguished family is like this." Seeing Xiaochan looking around, Ning Yi said softly. The old housekeeper leading the way obviously heard it and showed a proud smile. 1 Bu Chan tiptoed
He tiptoed and whispered, "Miss and I have been to Puyang's house and the Wang's Mansion. Those places are very bright, but it doesn't feel like this."
The old housekeeper in front nodded, and the smile on his face became even more comfortable. He turned around and said, "The master just came back from giving lectures in the countryside yesterday. He was in a good mood. Like Mr. Ning, he invited him to the study for the first time.
It is rare to have a conversation. Mr. Ning will be in front of the master later. You can be as casual as possible...
M Sili probably thought that Ning Yi was a junior who came from somewhere else to bring a letter to pay homage. At this time, he had a good impression of the two of them, so he spoke up to prevent Ning Yi from being trembling and losing his favor after meeting his master.
Ning Yi nodded, smiled, and said thank you.
The road from the door to Qian Xiwen's study is not very far, but after saying these words, when passing the corner of the corridor in front, a voice suddenly came over: "Qian Weiliang! How dare you run?" It sounded like
It seemed that the young man was laughing and scolding when he was chasing. Then a figure suddenly rushed over and almost collided with Ning Yi. This was a man wearing a scholar's robe. He was about the same age as Ning Yi, probably only in his early twenties. He
When he was being chased, he looked back and ran away quickly.
Then another man rushed out, also a man of similar age. He was stunned, raised his hands, and then continued to chase. However, he looked back several times while running. He didn't know whether he was looking at Ning Yi or Xiao Chan, who almost fell down.
I chased him on the road.
, "These are the two young masters from the second room who made Mr. Ning laugh. Come, please come here."
The old man turned the corner, and Ning Yi was about to leave, but he saw something red falling from the grass next to him. He picked it up and looked at it. It was the same red coral pen, probably dropped by the two young people just now.
, fortunately it fell on the grass and was not broken. At this time, the two of them had run away. Ning Yi took it and followed the old man over. When he was about to arrive, he took out the pen holder, told the process of picking it up, and asked the old housekeeper to hand it over.
Give it to those two people. The old housekeeper looked at the pen grid and looked a little dumbfounded, but did not reach out to take it.
"It's actually two young masters, Wei Liang and Weiqing. Hehe, this price does not belong to the two young masters, but it is the most beloved thing of the master. It disappeared a few days ago, but unexpectedly it was picked up by Mr. Ning.
Why don't you hand it over to Master Ning later?"
Ning Yi frowned: "Isn't this inappropriate?" If it were someone else, he would have thought that this was a good opportunity to build a relationship with Qian Xiwen and increase his impression. But in Ning Yi's case, if the matter had something to do with a thief in the Qian family,
The matter is quietly related, so as an outsider, I should never get involved in such a thing.
, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.”
The old housekeeper smiled sincerely. After a while, he arrived outside the courtyard where Qian Xiwen lived. Xiaochan was arranged into the room where the servants were waiting outside. Ning Yi frowned and put the pen into his sleeve. The old housekeeper introduced him, Ming Ye
Qian Xiwen's old man is already waiting in the room. This man has a half-length beard and hair, neatly combed, and a neat and simple gray robe. Although there are no patches, it can be seen that it has been washed many times. He has probably read Qin Siyuan's letters.
, was flipping through some books brought by Ning Yi. When Ning Yi came in, he kindly greeted him to sit down.
"When we parted ways in the capital, Duke Qin and I haven't seen each other for eight years. Li Heng, you came from Jiangning. Is Duke Qin's health okay?"
After probably knowing each other by name, Qian Xiwen asked Ning Yi about Qin Siyuan. He probably regarded Ning Yi as a junior who was related to Qin Siyuan, and asked many questions about Qin Siyuan's family, such as the two brothers Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian.
Ning Yi answered the important points one by one, and occasionally expressed a few words of emotion. After a while, Qian Xiwen changed the subject.
"At the beginning of this summer, the northern troops began to attack again, and the Jin-Liao war started. Regarding this matter, did Li Heng ever hear anything said by Qin Gong when he left Jiangning?"
, "Qin Gong went to Beijing, and may have arrived in the capital at this time."
,"oh."
Qian Xiwen nodded and looked thoughtfully at Ning Yi at the same time. His questions just now were very skillful. He originally thought that Ning Yi was a junior Qin Siyuan, and for these things that he was really interested in,
He didn't know much, but Ning Yi could naturally hear what he was referring to and answered simply. At this time, the news of Qin Siyuan's resurrection had not yet been announced, and Ning Yi's answer meant that he at least knew the inside story of eight years ago.
Qian Xiwen thought about Qin Siyuan's situation, and then asked about Ning Yi's own situation.
What is your family background, whether you are married, and what your education is like. The elders ask the younger generation nothing more than these. This old man is well-read. He has actually read a few poems written by Ning Yi in Jiangning and remembered the name Ning Liheng.
Well, I had already had doubts in my mind just now, but at this point, Qin Siyuan asked after he finished speaking. After confirming, he didn't say how the lyrics were, but just asked what books Ning Yi usually likes to read and how they are.
Learning and the like. Ning Yi replied that he likes to read some romance stories and urban legends. As for learning, he only answered with the same arguments he heard when joking with Qin Lao and Kang Lao, but he was mediocre and did not express himself.
It won't just offend anyone.
At this time, he probably guessed the content about him in Mr. Qin's letter. The old man knew his character and would never exaggerate in the letter about what a young man was like. It seemed that he was rekindling the past with Mr. Qian.
At the end, add a sentence or two, or something like, "A little friend came to Hangzhou to take care of me for a while." Mr. Qin has always wanted to be a writer, so Mr. Qian naturally regarded himself as a junior who came to join and learn.
, I just had such an attitude.
If most people hear about the names of his poems, they will rarely use empty words to praise him. He does not use empty words to deal with it. This is actually an attitude that he has accepted the responsibility of taking care of him. Since he is his disciple, he must first be strict and not make random praises. He
Xiqiaohao didn't express any dissatisfaction with Ning Yi's attitude towards leisure books such as fantasy novels. Then Ning Yi answered mediocrely. He just frowned and thought carefully, and then took a few books from the bookshelf on the side.
Book down.
"Li Heng is a lively and energetic person at his age. It is not wrong to like to read some strange stories. Li Heng is not a stickler for details when it comes to writing. However, there are some tricks to reading and choosing books. I feel that some books,
Reading one book is like reading one book. If you can see the big idea from the small sections and gain some understanding, reading one book is like reading two or three books. Haha, I often feel a little secretive because of its cleverness.
Since Li Heng is interested, he might as well take these legendary stories back and read them. I have also read them. The stories are wonderful and the writing is good. If you find them interesting, there are two more books here. I have made sub-notes.
You might as well read along with it.”
Ning Yi took the book and looked at it. On one side were several popular ghost novels. One of them he even bought and read before. The other two could be held. The one for "reading" was "Zuo Zhuan"
", one is "Spring and Autumn", and after "Spring and Autumn" there are three words "Supplement" and "Kao". These are bad books. I think the focus should be on the annotations.
After taking these books, Ning Yi thanked him. He smiled bitterly in his heart. This old man was quite good. After the conversation just now, he had a good impression of him. In fact, with Mr. Qin's insight into people, since
After introducing him, he also knew that the other person would not be an unreliable person.
If he is really focused on learning, eager to improve in this area, or keen on academic success, then maybe he should turn his head and become a disciple. But he is not. It is hard to say these things, and he will be let down in the future.
The other party had good intentions. Well, Qin Siyuan may have guessed his state of mind at this time. When he wrote the letter, he probably had some bad intentions and laughed and cursed in his heart.
The old man is nice, but if there is no need to ask for help in the future, this is probably the only time everyone will interact with each other. After making a decision in his mind, he chatted with the other party for a few words, Ning Yi stood up and left, Qian Xiwen nodded:
, "Just go ahead." When he turned to leave, Ning Yi remembered something, turned around, took out the coral pen grid, and handed it back to the other party.
Based on Ning Yi's state of mind, if he really wanted something from someone, he would never hand it over in person in order to avoid touching Qian's "family scandal", but since he didn't have this intention, it didn't matter. It was only when he handed it back that he
Realizing that things might be different from what he thought, Qian Xiwen frowned, with a bit of laughter in his smile, and looked at Ning Yi: "You picked it up when you came in?" I don't know why, but he didn't seem to believe it, but it didn't mean anything.
Malice.
"Well, I just picked it up on the grass when I came in."
"What a coincidence." Qian Xiwen thought about it, then shook his head and laughed. "It doesn't matter, it's fate. Qian Yu, come on!"
He shouted, and Qian Yu was obviously the old housekeeper just now. He came in at this moment. Qian Xiwen smiled and said, "Li Heng picked up my coral pen frame. You go and get ten yuan according to what is written on the hanging inscription."
Come with a thousand coins."
Ten thousand dollars is ten dollars. Although it is not much for Ning Yi, it is still a lot for ordinary people. He was a little stunned at this time. The money went out, and Qian Xiwen took the pen
The grid wiped it and said with a smile: "I like this grid the most at home. It is often lost, so I offered a reward. If I can find it back, I will be rewarded with ten thousand coins. Now that Li Heng has found it, the reward will naturally be fulfilled.
That’s it.”
, "Often lost?"
, "Oh, I don't know why, but he disappeared."
, "Can you still find companions?"
, "Well, aren't you getting it back?"
"..."
Ning Yi was speechless for a while. After a while, Qian Yu led his servants and brought money over. "Ten pieces of money were not banknotes. They were strung together with a rope, and then put in a big box and brought them over. Ning Yi's face twitched as he looked at it.
At this time, one copper coin is about three grams, one thousand coins is nearly four kilograms, and ten thousand coins is nearly forty kilograms. The servant was strong, holding it with both hands, and banged it on the ground. The money steward said
His eyes were dull, and he was probably going to stay out of it." Qian Xiwen blinked in embarrassment, and touched his chin, but he didn't say anything about changing it to a banknote until the end, so he gave Ning Yi the ten dollars.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Ning Yi found it interesting even though he didn't know what the Qian family was doing. He didn't need the help of the servant, so he reached out to pick up the box, said goodbye with a smile and went out.
Xiao Chan saw them coming outside the door, and hurriedly went to help, trying to hold the box in Ning Yi's arms. Ning Yi smiled and said: "Don't be busy, don't be busy." It's very heavy. "Xiao Chan was thinking about the maid's responsibility."
He said: "Xiaochan is very powerful when she is used to doing things."
"Ning Yi made a show of putting the box away, and Bu Chan was almost dragged to the ground by the box. Fortunately, Ning Yi caught the box immediately and couldn't stop laughing.
When she heard that there were ten coins in the box, Xiaochan's face became round. She must have felt that the Qian family was a bit bullying.
"But Butler Qian is also a little embarrassed." When he was approaching the foyer, he whispered the reason for this incident. It turned out that although the Qian family was a famous family from far and wide, Qian Xiwen was very strict in running the family.
In order to be simple, the children in the family usually have very little monthly money, and the money will never be released in advance when the time comes. Once a child in the family encountered something and needed money urgently, so he gave Qian Xiwen's favorite coral pen
After Qian Xiwen learned about it, he posted a notice at home and offered a reward of ten thousand to anyone who could help find it. Later, the disciple came back to Bi Ge, and he fulfilled his promise and rewarded ten thousand.
After this incident, the pen grid was often lost seven or eight times a year. Every time Qian Xiwen still posted the list, and after a day or two, someone would take it and return it, saying that it was not easy.
Qian Xiwen always gave money when he found it, but...
"The master said, ten thousand coins, if converted into silver notes, is just a small piece. Since everyone wants to reward money, it always seems more to reward them with copper coins, so the young men in the family have to work hard to move them every time."
go back……"
When the old housekeeper talked about this, he laughed funnyly, and Ning Yi and Xiaochan also realized that after losing it time and time again, they could find it back, and they would lose it again and again. How could Xiwen not know what was going on with this money? He was just pretending.
Confused, giving people an opportunity to show mercy outside the law. Every time whoever takes it back will naturally be the one who took it. These people will expose their identities every time, so naturally they don't dare to mess around. They have to spend money when they really want it.
, dared to get Bi Bi Ge, ten copper coins, probably just to ridicule these children.
Thinking about it, this is also the case. When Ning Yi took out the pen box, the other party's expression would be so weird. The pen box could only be taken away by a child at home. It would really fall and be picked up...
Carrying the box of several books given by Qian Xiwen, the master and servant drove the carriage all the way back. When they got home, Su Tan'er was slightly surprised when she saw Shi Guan Qian. Ning Yi said that he was at Qian's house today.
Su Tan'er also sighed after seeing what she saw.
, "That Mr. Qian is a really nice person, and he is also very good at managing the family."
, "He is an interesting person, but I probably won't have many opportunities to interact with him in the future..."
, "Yes." Su Tan'er nodded, then turned to look at the free and easy husband, with a somewhat misguided look in his eyes.
Two days later, according to the plan with his wife, Ning Yi began to accompany her as the son-in-law of the Su family to visit many merchants related to cloth merchants in Hangzhou. He carefully guarded the role of accompanying and protecting the envoy.
His duty was not to do too many extraneous things. Once the greeting was over, he completely restrained his sense of presence and allowed his wife to show her subtle and gentle manner.
In Hangzhou, the Su family has no foundation. To develop here, it can almost be regarded as starting from scratch. Only under such circumstances, he can more clearly see his wife's skills and abilities, as well as his evil deeds.
In terms of fun, watching these various confrontations is one of the most enjoyable things for him.
He was tired of these things, but it was always interesting to look at them occasionally without any responsibility.
A standard, simple, and responsible husband-in-law. This is the first impression he will bring to the whole of Hangzhou in the following summer...
