With a bang, the teacup broke to the ground and porcelain shards flew everywhere.
"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, after Su Tan'er made such a strong confession, the rebuttal from the Lou family 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 lost 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 impossible to convict anyone. Since he couldn't convict anyone, it 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, but his voice was not loud, 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? "
"Yeah." Lou Shuwan nodded. She thought Wen Qin wanted to blame her for intervening at that time, but Lou Jinlin didn't ask this.
"At that time, everyone started fighting, saying that Ning Liheng had committed adultery with a maid. When you came forward, Su Tan'er had already arrived, right?"
"Um."
"She didn't say anything at that time?" "Yeah." Nodding for the third time, Lou Shuwan was a little confused 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?"
Suffocating slightly, Lou Jinlin roared out, "Were you infatuated 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 couple in the world who were married because of their marriage.
That's how a 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 were indeed too reckless and did not see things clearly. I am in Hangzhou."
If a man has the magnanimity of a Hangzhou man, don’t take it to heart.” With words like these, the situation was quickly alleviated when these old men came forward.
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.
For Brother Ning, boxing is an unreasonable disaster, and this matter is ultimately my fault." The man said this, and the two sides laughed away their grudges and lived 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 still have a low opinion of 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 a husband ask for? You have 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 status as his adopted son-in-law after seeing Ning Yi's talents. In fact, he thought it was okay not to write Ning Yi's status as his adopted son-in-law in his letter to Qian Xiwen.
Put some pressure on Ning Yi through Qian Xiwen. 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 also
In order to find out what the circumstances of his marriage were, at this time, it was necessary to correct the identity of the couple. They were worthy of being the best friends of Qin Siyuan.
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 at it. 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 identity of two people is 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, no one may say anything 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, it is still the same as having a son-in-law leave the house and become independent, and then marry Su Tan'er again.
The nature of marriage.
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 weird 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, but he knew 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 interested in those things.
I actually care about things, but why bother.
In fact, it is also because he has pride in his heart. It may be inconvenient to do many things behind the back of his son-in-law's identity, but anyway, there are not many things he wants to do now, and for his pride, even if he is carrying his son-in-law's identity,
, it’s not difficult for him to do anything, he doesn’t care at all, and is even proud of 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, and this was worthy of praise. However, with the name of a son-in-law, he had to do things with some hands and feet. A man should have the ambition to reach the top.
Li Heng is also talented and learned, and can be said to be both civil and military. Could it be that he does not want to devote himself 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...
Please try to persuade him after I am 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 Qian Xiwen said this, 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 not clear 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 Liheng 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 gifted scholar from Hangzhou, have a broad mind, but I am only as good as the one I just had.
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 own selfishness, it would be best for you 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 my 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 talented people 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, bring me 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 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. There were no people in the distance who had gone to join in the fun. They raised their heads and looked at the changes in things curiously. At a certain moment, someone quietly read out 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.
