"I know that no one may believe me if I say this, but... there are some things that I really don't want to do. No matter whether it's talent, fame, or fame, I don't want to touch it. This... is true."
Ning Yi's tone was indifferent, but there was no doubt about the persuasiveness contained in his words. He answered this question seriously, without any reluctance or difficulty, sincere and magnanimous. At this time, he seemed to be a young man in his early twenties.
He used to be a dull scholar. If he were the nerd before, he might even stutter when talking in front of Qin Lao and Kang Lao. However, at this moment, his temperament cannot be ignored. With this look
The body shape seems to be aloof and free, and not bound to things. If this temperament is in a middle-aged man in his forties, it would be mature and steady, powerful and powerful, and his words are worth a lot of money. There is no doubt about it.
It is precisely because of this that his answer made the two of them even more confused. For someone like Mr. Kang, the meaning behind being able to ask this question is not simple. Moreover, with the current way of communication, Kang
Lao Ye is not making a deal with him and needs him to repay something. If he is an ordinary person, his head may suddenly go crazy because of arrogance or some refusal, but Ning Yi is definitely not such a stupid young man. Amidst the other party's doubts, Ning Yi
Yi smiled helplessly.
"Oh, I also understand that this matter is confusing, but..." He lightly nodded his forehead, "You two may not know that you were hit on the head a few months ago, and you woke up after being in a coma for several days.
.I have forgotten about everything in the past. It is really hard to focus on matters of fame and fame now. As for hanging out in brothels and painting boats with a bunch of talented people, reciting poems and composing poems to win the favor of women, it really doesn't arouse much interest. But it is a school.
The group of children there are interesting. I occasionally tell them stories and make noises. Otherwise, I feel comfortable coming to the river to play chess and drink tea. I also have some interesting ideas in my head. Maybe I can
Take your time, I am satisfied with this life now, but as for the slight rolling eyes, why bother with him. What will happen in the future, I still can’t think clearly about it. It’s just my good intention, and I can understand it.”
He bowed his hands and nodded: "Keep this in mind."
This sentence may sound true or false, but of course it is impossible to tell them the truth. To link this kind of mood with the matter of being hit on the head and losing amnesia, it is the best way to push it one by one.
This reason does not need to be explained. It is natural and reasonable and does not give the other party the unnecessary feeling of worrying. It is just a problem on my own side.
Sure enough, after saying this, Mr. Kang and Mr. Qin were a little confused. Ning Yi told the story about amnesia again, and the other party looked stunned. Kang Xian shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect this to happen.
." It was only after he lost his memory that his thoughts became a little weird.
Then Mr. Kang stopped mentioning those things and drank a cup of tea. Ning Yi picked up the whiteboard and charcoal, said goodbye and went to Yushan Academy. When the figure disappeared at the intersection in the distance, Mr. Kang sighed: "
I didn't expect that such a beating would reveal an indifferent character. Among young people, it is indeed rare to have such a character. It's just a pity that he has such talent."
Mr. Qin smiled and took a sip of tea: "He is only in his early twenties now. How can he say with certainty what he will become in the future? With his talent, he cannot avoid the things he should encounter. Just looking at what happened today,
Some things are worrying...Ming Gong, Li Heng is too pragmatic."
Kang Xian frowned: "As you said, this is indeed the case. His poems written casually are all good lines, but he is partial to the way of poems, but he doesn't care at all. When will the bright moon come?
Hanging Southeast Branch... Calligraphy is also at his fingertips. There are so many kinds and they can reach such a high level. I am afraid they are just a pastime. In his eyes, these things are not as interesting as the chalk..."
Mr. Qin nodded: "Pragmatism is a good thing, but if you are too pragmatic and straightforward, you may be in trouble in the future... Although Li Heng also knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, after all, he is young and energetic, and in some things,
He is still quite arrogant. He did not want to pervert the tests of those students and declined the invitation. In front of you and me, he did not make much effort to hide it. This is probably for this reason..."
He thought for a while and then laughed: "There is no need to think too much about this matter. I can't wait to make friends with chess. It would be too much to worry too much. Since I know what he thinks, that's all. Let's see what happens in the future."
In the past few days, the name Ning Yi has caused some big or small waves in Jiangning City. People who can learn about Shui Tiao Ge Tou and learn about this name will naturally have various guesses and opinions.
, most opinions are actually simple, but if they are closer, they will gradually become complicated. For example, the two elders of Kang and Qin, such as many people in the Su family, distant relatives, stewards, servants, etc.
, if we were closer, we would undoubtedly be Su Taigong, Su Boyong and others. Then there was Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er. In the past few days, Xing'er had often teased the two of them with "We share the beauty of Chan Juan even though we are thousands of miles apart." Chan'er was somewhat mentally prepared.
As for Juan'er, it can be said that she was shot even while lying down. She blushed every time and was so embarrassed that her cheeks burned into a hot teapot. She complained to Chan'er in private: "Why did you write this sentence..."
So in the past few days, when she saw Ning Yi, she lowered her head and hid away.
Among these people, the one with the most complicated mood is naturally Su Tan'er. To be fair, what matters to her most is not how talented her husband is or how weird his character is, but that she can't understand him anymore.
She originally married Ning Yi because the other party was simple and she could easily understand him. Even if they got married and the other party got married, she would be able to participate in the Su family's business without criticism. Now this
Although the marriage was still in name only, she had more or less accepted the other party in her heart. Next, it was just a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, it was only at this moment that I realized that I could not see through this husband at all.
Of course, there are only some clues about this matter at this time. My husband seems to be indifferent and does not seem to be a person with evil intentions. Su Tan'er is also a quiet and intelligent woman, so she may not be panicked by it. However, when dealing with various store affairs
Yu, all the thoughts in my heart can't help but stop at this matter. In this age, no matter how smart and independent a girl is, as long as she gets married, who can really be indifferent to her husband?
In the past few days, I was still busy managing the Su family's many silk and satin shops in Jiangning. In my spare time, I asked Juan'er to go to the alley where Ning Yi lived before to inquire about the news. However, in the business, I occasionally met acquaintances.
He will ask: "Is Ning Yi Ning Liheng your husband-in-law?" Then he will praise the water tune song.
After getting married, you should have brought your husband-in-law to meet the people you knew before, so that you can confirm your status as a married woman, and it will be more convenient when negotiating business. However, when you get married, you can play it yourself
After losing some temper, Ning Yi was knocked unconscious again. After that, it was time for cultivation. Up to now, the relationship between the two has almost been finalized. They only had some conversations when eating at home. Although her attitude towards Ning Yi
Naturally, but after all, they are married, and they are more reserved and arrogant. Therefore, until now, except for the last time she proposed to participate in the Puyuan Poetry Festival, she has not made an invitation to Ning Yi to go out and participate in something together.
Now, I'm afraid it's even harder to bring it up.
Inquiries were made in various ways to collect information about Ning Yi. In fact, she had already done it once before she got married. Most of the time it was done by her father and grandfather. She also went there with several maids to see it, and asked Chan'er and Juan'er Xing to do it.
I asked about Ning Yi's reputation. The news I got at that time was that he was just a simple nerd, not very talented. Of course, people wouldn't be completely stupid from reading, otherwise they wouldn't be able to accept it later.
The Su family proposed to marry into another family. In these days, when a man wants to marry into another family, he usually accepts his fate.
However, when Juan'er went to inquire this time, the information she got was slightly different.
Most of the comments were naturally the same as before. Ning Yi did not have a strong sense of presence in that alley. Some people still reminded Juan'er several times that he was a man who lived in a certain courtyard before they remembered: "Oh,
But there is such a person." Or: "That stupid nerd, I heard that his wife has gone somewhere, and the yard has been sold." "Maybe I don't think I can get the honors." Such statements.
, accounting for the vast majority.
However, there are also two or three people who have said this: "Oh, Li Heng, I knew he was amazingly talented, but he has always been low-key, has a stable temperament, and does not want to compare with others. He is like one of those talented people who have such great talent in their hearts.
If you don’t have much ink, you like to be pushy. This is called a full bucket of water that doesn’t make any sound, and a half bucket of water that sloshes... Girl, you must have heard about that water-melody singer before you came to inquire..."
"I'm getting married, I'm getting married, because there is a marriage contract. That kid Li Heng is an honest person, and the marriage contract must be kept..."
"The third aunt next door and the second uncle Niu in the alley said so. The maid gave each of them fifty coins..." Although she is just a little maid, Juan'er's ability to inquire about information is absolutely unacceptable.
Xiao Jie, thinking about it at this time, started to laugh and said his own opinion, "But I think they all said this after listening to the water tune singer, and there are countless things they can do. It's a pity that I taught my uncle in the first place.
Master Zou, who wrote the book, passed away last year, so I went to inquire about it. My uncle’s mistress almost didn’t remember my uncle, but after knowing the purpose of his visit, she still said some kind words. Mr. Zou’s widow and her family are having a good time.
It seemed that the gift was not very good, so I took it upon myself to send two coins and some bacon, which I sent in the name of my uncle."
"It should be so..." Su Tan'er nodded, and then laughed, but it was still accompanied by strong doubts. When looking for information, you don't necessarily believe what others say, although this time
They got some good words, but the basic information was still the same as before. However, after Juan'er investigated in another direction, some guesses that seemed correct gradually revealed their outlines to Su Tan'er.
"I'm afraid I met a few old people when I went to the river to play chess. The one I know most clearly now is probably Mr. Kang who spoke for me at the Zhishui Poetry Festival that day..."
"Huh?" Ning Yi's reputation before he lost his memory can be confirmed, so if something really happened, it should be after he lost his memory. She also said that Ning Yi went to the river to play chess and met several chess friends.
She knew, but it was just that she was not doing any research. The news she got at this time really shocked her. Her husband could actually get to know such a person. She didn't know whether it was luck or something else, and then reported back
The information that came over shocked her even more.
The news from the Zhishui Poetry Society only said that Kang Xian was a master of Neo-Confucianism, and how accomplished he was in all aspects and how respectable he was. However, some of the background hidden behind it was not covered up too much. It was just not said.
That's all, as soon as we investigate, we have already found out.
Kang Xian and Kang Mingyun were not only masters of calligraphy and Neo-Confucianism, but at the same time, his other identity was the consort of Princess Chengguo, a relative of the emperor. Although the Wu Dynasty had always strictly controlled the relatives of the emperor, it was impossible for the consort to participate.
It is a major national matter, and he has entered the court as an official. However, Princess Chengguo is the aunt of the current emperor. Speaking of it, Kang Xian is actually the uncle of the current emperor. Even if he is just a rich and idle person, such an identity is really precious.
It is simply beyond the reach of merchant families like the Su family.
Once this news was revealed, the initial shock it brought was really indescribable. Su Tan'er was a little confused for a moment. However, after a moment of shock, a relatively clear clue gradually appeared in front of her.
"Uncle, how on earth did he make friends with such a big shot? Chan'er said that they just casually walked over and played chess casually, and they got to know each other." Juan'er was confused, and then became a little hesitant.
, "But speaking of it, the identity of Mr. Kang and the identity of my uncle...ah..."
Juan'er didn't dare to say the next words, but it was enough. In the way of doing business, all kinds of information must be filtered at all times. Sometimes some clues seem difficult to believe.
, however, when other clues are filtered out, what remains may be news like this.
The identity of the husband, and the identity of Mr. Kang...are they both the son-in-law...
For Su Tan'er, although this answer may seem a bit bizarre to ordinary people, it is already the answer closest to the core.
The husband...maybe he only had some contact with the other party when playing chess, and maybe he didn't know the other party's identity at all, but the two of them did have this in common. The prince-in-law's status seems to be noble, and marrying a princess is actually marrying into the royal family.
With such talent as the other party, he will never be able to be an official in his life, and he will not be able to express his ambitions. It is not difficult to understand that he would feel sympathy for his husband when he met her husband. In this case, it is no wonder that he wanted to intercept him at the Zhishui Poetry Meeting.
Everyone is talking, making my husband famous...
As for the water tune singer, my husband said that some Taoist priest passed by the door. Not only did his grandfather not believe it, but he also absolutely did not believe it, because Xiaochan would definitely not lie to himself. The Taoist priest recited a poem, could it be that he sang it...
Maybe it was her husband's skill that happened by chance, or maybe it was Mr. Kang's doing. It's hard to say. She doesn't care too much now. After all, she was confused before, and she just felt that there were doubts everywhere. Now she has sorted out a line, but it's
Suddenly I became enlightened, and I didn’t really mind some things anymore.
Her husband is actually an indifferent character, and he is not annoying in his words and deeds. On the contrary, she doesn't care about his talent level. If it is lower, it is better. She doesn't mind if he comes to marry her. If it is higher, it will be an unexpected surprise.
I never expected that there would be such a shady story in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival. If it was really Na Kang Xian's plan, maybe it was also a joke made by the old man on a whim.
"Watch me teach you how to scare your wife and family..."
Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible. Although my husband has an indifferent temperament, at this age, he may not really be satisfied with his status as a son-in-law. Although grandpa does not want to treat him harshly, and he does not want him to be discriminated against, but the son-in-law
As a son-in-law, it is inevitable that he will occasionally be looked down upon. People will always have thoughts of one kind or another. This is a hurdle that he has to overcome. Even if he wants to show off his talents, it is understandable.
In this case, my husband...does he really want to tame this restless little girl like himself...
Some things have been decided and will not be changed. This is the main premise. She originally had no requirements for recruiting a wife or getting married, but one day, she has to accept the Su family's family business. This is the key point.
And with this premise, her husband-in-law can only become a wife. She thought so in her heart, but she didn't hate the things she guessed in her heart, and she even liked it a little bit.
There are no more possibilities, right?
So on the way home, she smiled softly and warmly...
This was a very private smile, and even Juan'er and Xing'er in the carriage didn't notice it...
