Chapter 163 Early Spring, Challenge

Time to the afternoon, from the Qinhuai River side of the street market walked, far and near are pedestrians, after the spring snow melts, the business travelers also began to pass through the city of Jiangning, from time to time you can see the travelers from afar to lead the horses from the market to walk, there are also nearby complete dart team business travel, mighty escort of the carriage and horses, some are local departures, there are also from the city not far away, through Jiangning, then you can relax a little, the dart masters with knives and guns in the market left and right, speak loudly, Talking about the prosperity of the city with his companions.

Once you leave the city and really embark on a journey, such a prosperous scene is rare.

Flags and signboards are hung in front of the shops on both sides of the road, and there are often gaps in the stone steps between the shops near the river for boarding boats and clothes. Soon after the snow melted, the surrounding willow trees had not yet sprouted, but some birds had already flown over and chirped gracefully. On the blue waves of the river, there are painting boats coming, and sheng songs are bursting.

"Master, you see that the scholar on the painting boat seems to be called Yuan Li, and he also visited Grandpa Pony a few days ago."

In this early spring weather, there is not much nervousness. Ning Yi was carrying a long burden at this time, and was walking on the side of the street with the little county lord Zhou Pei, and there was also a middle-aged man with a low-key dress and a burly figure behind him, this person was a palace guard, surnamed Song Mingqian. Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu were attending classes in Yushan Academy, and there were always two guards waiting nearby, at this time, since Zhou Pei and Ning Yi were going to find Kang Xian, when they came out of the small courtyard with a few assault rifles, they naturally beckoned one of them to follow.

This person has been a guard in the palace for a long time, and if there is no major accident, he will be like an invisible person, and he will not give people much sense of existence.

The academy is a little far away from the Horse Mansion, but there is nothing to do, and Ning Yi prefers to take a walk in the city for a while. Xiao Zhou Pei had something on his mind, but naturally he couldn't say it, and when he walked with Ning Yi for a while, he listened to this master pointing and saying something profound and interesting, and he also put his mood down for the time being. At this time, walking on the road by the river, he saw a young man in a green shirt standing on the bow of the painting boat not far away, and remembered what he knew, so he also said to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi turned his head to look over there, the painting boat was quite lively, obviously it was another party, the boy in the green shirt was standing on the bow of the boat, with a folding fan in his hand, and the scarf on his head was fluttering, quite graceful. A girl in white also came from the painting boat, standing beside him to talk to him, probably the girl who accompanied him in the painting boat, and her figure was good, but she couldn't see her appearance clearly from a distance.

Turning her head to look at Zhou Pei again, I saw her gently holding the long skirt with one hand, so that she would not stain the skirt when she walked forward, while stretching her neck, looking at the painting boat with interest.

“…… It seems to be the ship of Mingyufang, I don't know if it's Yin Xue or the painting screen, teacher, guess what they're talking about? ”

Naming Yufang is also somewhat famous in Jiangning, and the two girls Yin Xue and the painting screen are among the signboards. This kind of thing is not a bad thing nowadays, as long as there are talented and beautiful people, it is a good story to render it. Zhou Pei also grew up listening to such stories since he was a child, and he was quite interested at this time, Ning Yi also squinted his eyes and looked at it, the beautiful painting boat was driving in the breath of early spring, and it was indeed a pleasing breath.

"I seem to have heard of Yuan Li's name, it's very powerful, right?"

Zhou Pei wanted to nod and say that it was powerful, but then pursed his mouth, but he blinked and looked at the master. That person has some fame, and being able to visit Kang Xian with others is more or less evidence of it, but in today's Jiangning, if it is placed together with the five words "Ning Yi Ning Liheng", it is somewhat weak. Seeing that the master was carrying a long package behind his back, smiling and asking questions without looking like a fake, Zhou Pei was also a little helpless for a while, and his interest in the talented and beautiful women over there was also a little reduced, so he only muttered.

"It's okay, a few days ago, I was debating with people at Grandpa Pony's house, and I was also impassioned when I talked about things in the north. Didn't the teacher sign that advice the other day? He's also the most enthusiastic of them all, and he's been talking about it these days, and he's certainly the same today...... It's a pity that the Jin State and the Liao State have made peace, and I don't know how many years it will take to go to war again, otherwise I heard that he would follow Ban Chao's ambition and put pen to paper from Rong ......"

"It won't take a few years to ......"

Ning Yi smiled, but also nodded. He and Zhou Pei and Song Qian kept moving forward, and the painting boat was also moving forward slowly, among which sheng sang and danced, and there were vague scholars chanting poems, mixing the leisure of the Qinhuai River in the bustle and noise of the market. Zhou Pei followed beside him in small steps: "Master also said that it won't take a few years?" A few days ago, I followed Grandpa Pony to the Grandpa of the Qin family, and they guessed the same way......", the little girl frowned, and then remembered something, and said mysteriously: "Master, do you know about Grandpa Qin?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Uh...... It's the matter of the Black Water Alliance, in previous years, I only knew that Grandpa Qin was very knowledgeable, and Grandpa Ma had a good relationship with him, but I didn't know what he did, and I suddenly heard someone talk about it recently. Zhou Pei thought for a while, "What is the matter of the Blackwater Alliance, the matter of defeating the battle...... The grandfather of the Qin family used to live here, and no one came to visit him, and no one mentioned it too much, and there were more people visiting and talking about it recently. But in private, I heard some people mention it, and some scolded him, saying that he had done a lot of things to gain fame and reputation, and there were even more unbearable things to say about him...... The ...... who said that Grandpa Qin was a traitor"

The little girl frowned: "I recently asked Grandpa Pony, but Grandpa Pony didn't say anything, only said that everything is afraid that everything can only be concluded by covering a coffin, and it is not time to say it yet." I probably know that the matter of Lu Dao may have something to do with the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, but every time Grandpa Ma goes to visit Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Qin refuses to talk about it, just gossiping about it, as if he doesn't care about these things at all......"

"I don't know what happened a few years ago......" Ning Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head. Recently, he has probably heard some rumors in the market, but these rumors are so mysterious that they are not believable. I only know that the Blackwater Alliance seven years ago may have been Qin Lao's participation in it, and he signed a messy and humiliating contract, and now someone mentions this, saying that the contradiction between Jin and Liao was foreshadowed at that time, and the name "Qin Siyuan" was dug up, but this kind of thing is naturally still mostly unbelievers.

In the past, Qin Lao and Kang Xian liked to talk about the situation in the world, but recently, it is a fact that they have talked very little about the affairs of the north. Especially when the Jin State and the Liao State suddenly negotiated peace recently, Yelu Yanxi canonized Yan Agu as the Great Sage Emperor, after the news came, it seemed to pour a big basin of cold water on the Wu Dynasty people who were looking forward to the Jin Liao war, theoretically speaking, the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi retreated, whether it was true or not, always kept a few years of peace, and the war was about to be postponed again. At this moment, when Ning Yi occasionally went to visit Old Qin, he found that the old man didn't talk about this matter anymore, and seemed to have completely ignored it. However, the number of times Kang Xian went to Qin Lao's side was vaguely more.

There is some atmosphere that Ning Yi can feel, and there is naturally speculation. But he is not a real participant, even Kang Xian, who really knows the inside story of Lu Dao, held his breath at this time and did not speak about it, in such a serious matter, of course, it is not easy for him to make an oath and say something to Zhou Pei. It's just that I think that people who do big things are people who do big things after all, and whether they are mistaken or mistaken about the country, it is still different from the feeling of discussing the pen from Rong on the painting boat and between the fat powder piles.

At the moment, I told Zhou Pei something about the Jin State and the Liao State, and the Wanyan Agu fought in the white mountains and black waters to revitalize the Jurchen clan with his own strength, playing the myth of "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible", and the Hubu Dagang even played a record of 20,000 defeats of 700,000, which is really a hero who is perverted to the extreme. There are not many people in the Wu Dynasty who really know this information, but in the past year, under Ning Yi's casual narration, a group of students, including Zhou Pei, have both admired and feared this person, but fortunately, there are few Jurchens, and Wanyan Agu is not young anymore, and it is still unlikely that he will destroy Liao in his lifetime and then threaten the Wu Dynasty.

Zhou Pei likes to talk about these things, occasionally speculate, and ask, "Huh?" Right? She said these things for a while, and the previous depression in her heart was temporarily relieved. At noon, because of the stuffiness, I only nibbled on a small vegetable and meat roll, and at this time I walked a long way, but my stomach was hungry, and at this time, I happened to be close to the Jin'er store that had not been opened long after Zhuji, and the little girl knocked on the side, asking to stop and rest, eat something, and by the way, also take a look at this new store in Zhuji - Ning Yi took their sister and brother to the main store of Zhuji to eat a few times in the past.

The two of them went over there, and when they were about to get to the door of the store, they met two people who came from that side. One of them was about fifty years old, tall and thin, and although he was dressed as a scribe, he also had an air of wealth and nobility that he had cultivated all year round, with a serious expression and a proud gaze. This person Ning Yi has met before, he is a famous Confucian in Jiangning, named Zhang Rui, the word Hongyuan, and he is also one of the teachings of King Kang's Mansion, and it is said that he is quite respected. , the other person is in his thirties, slightly chubby, squinting his eyes and looking serious, also dressed as a scribe, and took a fan. This person Ning Yi didn't know. That Zhang Rui recognized Ning Yi, and the two said a few words and came over to this side, but first it was Zhou Pei who went over and saluted: "Master Zhang, Master Li are good." ”

The two hurriedly returned the salute: "The county lord is also here, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Later, he greeted Ning Yi and introduced each other, in fact, these two people were both teachers in King Kang's Mansion, and they were also quite famous in Jiangning City. The fat man surnamed Li was named Li Tong, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Ning Yi: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Ning Yi Ning Liheng, who has admired his name for a long time, and has never had the opportunity to see him, and today is really a coincidence." ”

Zhang Rui looked at Ning Yi and Zhou Pei, a little displeased: "Liheng actually took the body of the county lord's daughter to hang out in this market, this seems to be a bit ...... Not quite right, right? ”

If it was an ordinary chance encounter, maybe they would have separated after a while, but now that they have said a few words, Zhang and Li have begun to turn the topic to things like "asking for advice" and "sitting and discussing", and talking about Ning Yi's teaching methods, and it is really a little inappropriate to walk around with the little county lord in these markets.

The reason for these things also comes from its origins, at the end of last year, Xiao Pei and Jun Wu worshiped Ning Yi as a teacher, originally planned to make a big show, King Kang personally went to the Su family to visit the door to strengthen the momentum, but was later rejected by Ning Yi, and the apprenticeship was guided by Kang Xian in the center, and everything was simpler. But as the teachings of King Kang's Mansion, these people have one more master for the little prince and the little county lord.

There are a lot of vassals in the palace, and a group of teachers are quite famous and have a good status, but they mainly teach the children of various subordinates in the palace, even if some people have the status of master and apprentice with the little prince and the little county lord, but they are different from the kind of master who is specialized and specially looking for.

Ning Yi was in his early twenties, known as the first genius in Jiangning, it was impossible not to be jealous, at that time, these masters also prepared a big battle after knowing the Tao, looking for a Qinglou to prepare a poetry meeting, and then handed an invitation to Ning Yi, expecting that his people would always have enough, everyone was in the palace, and it was impossible for Ning Yi not to give this face.

Who knew that Ning Yi even had a sign of the palace guest secretary that Kang Xian stuffed over, he didn't need to go to the palace to do things, and everyone was not a colleague, and at that time Ning Yi and Su Tan'er had a good relationship, and they had sex together for two years, which can be called adulterous love, Su Tan'er needed him to accompany him to visit everywhere, he threw the invitation aside according to the custom, and replied to a mass-produced rejection letter, sprinkled a large article, which means seven words: something, don't go, sorry.

These people specially flipped through books and reviewed for nearly half a month, preparing some topics and the like, but their expectations were disappointed, and they were very indignant. Today, Zhang and Li met Ning Yi on the street, and the surname Li was originally a little apprehensive about the title of "Jiangning's No. 1 Talent", but seeing Ning Yi's milky appearance, maybe he has some talent, which can be called a "strange" word, but it is definitely not called "Bo" and "fine", and it is convenient for Zhang Rui to decide to take advantage of today to compete with this person in learning, and the word "advice" is naturally called in his mouth.

It may be said that they dare not dare to ask for advice, but if they say that they just sit and talk together, they can't refuse, and then, a few people walked towards the newly opened Jin'er store not far away, and then went up to the second floor to find a private room to sit down.

I thought I would be able to code it out last night, but it turned out to be morning again...... RO
