Chapter 43 Gambling

After the Yuan Dynasty, the intensive visits and social interactions were no longer too much, and all the common sense around me began to move out of the warm atmosphere of the New Year's Eve and towards ordinary life.

The spread of the song "The Sapphire Case" is hard to estimate. In short, within a few days, people began to talk about it in teahouses and taverns. Regarding Ning Yi, there were more discussions about affirming his talents and wondering why he got married. By this time, there were more discussions

No one said that he copied or stole lyrics, and some people seemed to place the praise of "Jianning's most talented man" on his head. Of course, most people said that he had a weird temper, was arrogant about his talents, and wasted all his talents.

When labels are condensed, it is the so-called madness.

Taking advantage of the situation can solve the problem, but it will definitely have side effects. However, such side effects are what Ning Yi originally expected. After that, things like probing by others can basically stop, and he can also teach with peace of mind and study chemical engineering and so on.

, recently he has ordered a batch of porcelain bottles to be used as test tubes, which can be used to review simple chemical reactions.

What was more interesting was that he still went out for a run in the early morning of the 16th, and met Nie Yunzhu waiting for him at the door of the small building. After seeing him, he bowed gracefully and said, "Ning is such a talented person." Ning Yi nodded, feeling like a talented person and a beautiful lady: "

Hello, little girl." Nie Yunzhu blushed instantly and took half a step back. His face seemed to be burning. His big eyes turned around, looking at Ning Yi, and then immediately wandered to other places, unable to find his home.

"Ning, how could Mr. Ning say that..."

"Ah? You just said hello to Mr. Ning... Shouldn't I respond like this?"

"How can this be so! Mr. Ning should say...should say...say..." She stood there at a loss and thought for a long time, and then burst out laughing, "Anyway, it's too frivolous..."

After this little episode, Nie Yunzhu no longer mentioned his identity as a great talent, and could chat with him as before. Of course, he still asked with great interest what happened at the poetry meeting last night. Everyone

After waiting for a while, he learned that Qilan was also there, and asked her reaction with a smile: "Miss Qilan is said to be very good at poetry. Have you ever been impressed by Mr. Ning's poetic talent?"

"She should be impressed. My young master's talents are several stories high. How can she not be impressed... You think so?" Ning Yi was observing the female assassin. He didn't know how Miss Qilan was doing.

How, after thinking about it, he casually responded. Nie Yunzhu laughed: "What the young master said is absolutely true."

"I also think what I said is very true..." Ning Yi stood up with a smile, "Let's go, there is still some distance to run."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

It dawned late in winter, and the entire sky was still gray at this time. There were lights like dots in the small building. Nie Yunzhu stood in front of the building and watched him leave, with a deep smile in his eyes. The weather was still cold.

, after Ning Yi's figure completely disappeared into the gray, she looked at the sky, smiled and spit out a mouthful of white mist, rubbed her palms, turned and walked back up the steps.

I'm sure I'll be in a good mood today.

A few days later, I met Kang Xian on the street. The old man was sitting in a sedan chair and he didn’t know where he was going. There were eight sedans and four regular servants. When he saw Ning Yi, he stopped on the road ahead and asked him.

He was stopped, and Kang Xian gave a few instructions for the sedan to follow: "Gentle scum!"

"Happy New Year, Mr. Kang...Have I done anything outrageous again?"

"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but when I suddenly looked back, he was in a dimly lit place. The words were good, but the occasion was wrong. Leave a little room for everything. You are called a hermit. At your age, even if you have a reclusive mind, you still can't.

It shouldn’t be expressed to this extent.”

The two of them walked along the street where the snow had not yet melted. Kang Xian was still thinking about the same things as before, but when he talked about it, he didn't have too many stern expressions. Ning Yi smiled: "That's it.

?”

"Of course not! Today is the 19th day of the first lunar month, the 19th day of the new year, and you didn't come to my house to visit me. I'm very angry about this, and the consequences will be very serious... By the way, I passed by here once a year ago.

Your confidante's stall is supposed to be placed at the street corner in front of you. Has it changed its location now, or has it not been set up yet?"

Kang Xian pointed to the street ahead, Ning Yi shook his head and said: "Old man, you have to speak responsibly, don't speak so ambiguously... There weren't many people buying food a few years ago, so naturally I closed the stalls and put them out again, probably

It will take a few days to be sold together with the new batch of preserved eggs. Why does Mr. Kang ask this?"

"It's because of your preserved eggs... Although the taste is weird, it's still edible, and the most important thing is that it sells well. I thought when I was having dinner these days, it would be nice to put a bowl on the table just to look at it. Wait until later.

A few days later, Miss Nie set up her stall, so I asked her to deliver some to me."

Ning Yi nodded: "According to each person's taste, you can also add some vinegar, sauce and other flavorful ingredients, just let your cook test it a few times, but don't eat too much at one time, too much will make your body uncomfortable.

"

"Your preserved eggs don't taste very good, how could I eat too much?" Kang Xian joked, then patted his shoulder, "I also know that your family situation is complicated, but you don't need to worry too much.

At the end of next year, feel free to bring your wife over. With your talent and the fact that you don’t need my name to help you, I am also interested in seeing what kind of charming woman you are willing to marry, haha..."

At the end of the first month, the weather gradually warmed up, and piles of snow melted into trickles and flowed into the Qinhuai River. The breath of spring with flying birds and long grass was approaching step by step, and then, Yushan Academy opened in this atmosphere.

On the first day I went to school, I met an unexpected person.

"Brother Ning, from now on we will all be colleagues and teach together in the academy. I have a lot of things that I don't understand, so please take care of me."

Li Pin and Li Dexin, according to people in Jiangning, are as talented as Cao Guan. However, Cao Guan has a calm style, while he has a free and easy personality, so others often rank Cao Guan first. People like him

, actually came to Yushan Academy to teach, which was really puzzling. Ning Yi said hello to him and ignored the rest. Soon after, Su Chonghua came over to talk to him, only to find out that Li Pin had told Su Chonghua about this matter last year.

"I must have been impressed by Li Heng's talents, so I wanted to come to the academy for further advice. This person is quite sincere." After entering the Yuan Dynasty, Su Tan'er had a meal with Su Chonghua, which probably pointed out Ning Yi's love for the academy.

Things that he is not interested in, so Su Chonghua's attitude towards Ning Yi has become friendly again recently.

Li Pin is five years older than Ning Yi. It is said that he already has the title of Jinshi, but he has not yet achieved it. He has not gone to Bianliang to do anything. He just hangs around in Jiangning to gain some fame. He is also a weirdo -

- Of course, even if you really want to manage it, a person with little background will have to go through a lot of trouble to get it. He is modest and handsome. Although he has a wife at home, he is also favored by women outside. Especially,

The name of a gifted scholar is so lethal. In the past, Su Tan'er probably regarded the name Li Pin as an idol. But now she was calm. When her family talked about it, she smiled and said, "I must have been impressed by my husband's charm."

What impressed Li Pin was not necessarily his literary talent. Of course, the two poems may be part of it, but in Ning Yi's view, Li Pin seemed to be more interested in the stories Ning Yi told. He came to Yushan Academy to teach

On the contrary, it was not poetry, but archery and arithmetic. These classes were all in the afternoon. In the morning, he also ran to the class to observe. At first, it made a group of younger students quite embarrassed.

Occasionally, Li Pin would ask questions about some of the things Ning Yi said. In Ning Yi's view, these things were also relatively critical. Some social laws summarized, research methods that investigated the truth of things, and purely mechanical theories of cause and effect. These things often

Ning Yi said it casually to these children, but he was unwilling to say it too thoroughly, because once it was revealed, it would become a modern theory and become deviant. Li Pin occasionally asked, but Ning Yi was more casual.

Li Pin may understand a little bit, but children don’t understand and are often quite confused.

Li Pin probably also knew that Ning Yi might not talk to him much at this time, so he only occasionally asked some questions in class. On weekdays, he only said hello and exchanged a few words with Ning Yi when they met.

In February, Nie Yunzhu's cart was launched again, selling pancakes and preserved eggs together. But to be honest, preserved eggs are more expensive. So far, the business is not very good. They only send them to Kang Xian.

One batch was considered a huge gain. That day in the Qin Mansion, Kang Xian was ridiculing him.

"Your preserved eggs are actually sold for twenty cents each. No matter how expensive the salted eggs are, they are only ten cents, and they are sold at a pancake stall. Do you think that Miss Nie's pancakes are only two cents, and they are paired with two cents."

People who buy ten cents of preserved eggs for pancakes will not buy preserved eggs. Those who can buy preserved eggs for snacks often don’t eat the pancakes. This kind of combination is really nonsense.”

"Haha, if you sell new things at a low price all of a sudden, the price will not be high in the future. In fact, if I were to do it, I might find a way to sell it for fifty cents. She doesn't expect to make too much money in that business.

There are many, that’s why it’s just so casual.”

"Haha, it's so heartless that snakes swallow elephants. Do you think it's a golden hen laying golden eggs for fifty cents? Now you can't even sell for twenty cents... Haha, but you don't have to worry. It will come later.

When I am hosting a banquet, I will try my best to publicize it for you. At the price of twenty cents, many people can still afford it. You will have to thank me when the time comes, as you owe me a favor..."

Kang Xian said proudly, but in fact, he was not asking for favors. Mr. Qin also chimed in. Ning Yi didn't care too much about favors. At this time, he curled his lips in boredom: "Mr. Kang can

Thank you for your help, but even if you don't help, I can spread the matter in a month and sell it to you for twenty coins, how about it?"

"Oh? Seriously?"

"Salted eggs can be sold for ten cents, and preserved eggs can be sold for twenty cents. What's the problem? It's just that no one knows about it now..." Ning Yi shrugged, "Who told me I've been bored lately..."

Continue coding, there will be another chapter later... Of course, it may be early in the morning, or it may not come out until the morning. It is not recommended to wait.a
