Voices rang out occasionally.

It was still cloudy outside, and in the simple courtyard, there were occasional people walking by, and some people occasionally looking in from the outside, and then ran away.

In the main hall of the hospitality, when she took the tea tray from the black thin boy's hand and placed the tea next to the main seat and the guest seat respectively, Hongti heard the two of them talking about topics she didn't understand very well.

“…… Liheng is also a Confucian, in the past, what kind of books did you read? ”

“…… When I was studying Xiang, I learned most of the Analects, Zuo Chuan, and Zhongyong...... The Analects are better......"

“…… It's the right way, but the old man remembered that back then, the family teacher was quite disapproving of the mean, hehe, saying that the book was useless to read, and it was far from the avenue...... The old man saw more because of this......"

“…… In fact, the avenue is connected......"

Because Ning Yi's current identity is difficult to identify, and he quietly came back with Hongti, there are not many people in the village who are alarmed. Except for the old man's greeting outside the courtyard gate before, there was no other welcome pomp. At this time, in this small courtyard, a qiē was born, just like an ordinary mountain woman brought her new aunt home, some people were curious, but no one was noisy, and in the living room, it was just a simple and simple conversation, without too many ups and downs. In the courtyard, the men were silent, while the women were curiously doing their own thing, whispering about the state of affairs.

"Speaking of which, Liheng's family is in Jiangning, and the old man also went there once, but I don't know what is happening to Jiangning now......"

Liang Bingfu sat on the master's seat, talking to Ning Yi with a stern expression. The gaze is sharp, and the spine is straight. On the chair on the oblique side, Ning Yi also answered the question respectfully. The red ti in the room was silent, she looked a little like a newly married daughter-in-law at this time, and like Ning Yi's sister, she first brought tea for the two, then rubbed Liang Bingfu's shoulders, and then sat down in the seat next to Ning Yi, slightly bowing her head, her eyes calm. It's just that sometimes it gets boring. Then put your hands between your legs.

After talking about the situation in Jiangning, the old man asked about Hangzhou again, he drank all the tea in the cup, and the red grapes went up to add it. The old man tapped on his crutches. He smiled slightly: "Red grapes." You're bored. Let's go out and do something else. I'm going to leave him here for dinner later, so you can get someone to get it ready. ”

Hongti nodded and glanced at Ning Yi. Ning Yi smiled and waved his hand, and said silently: "I'll accompany Grandpa Liang." ”

After a while, Hongti left the room and stroked her head gently. A few men in the courtyard who were pretending to be bored hurriedly moved aside. At this time, most of the people who can be here are the old people and the core in Aoki Village, as well as their families, who are preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Hongti Ben also went over to help, washing vegetable leaves, melons and fruits under the eaves, and occasionally looking back at the room.

After a while, she waved her hand to call the thin black boy who was responsible for taking care of Liang Bingfu, and asked him about the old man's physical condition today. In the conversation that came into her ears faintly, of course she knew that the old man's physical condition was not as energetic as he appeared.

In fact, although Ning Yi is not highly accomplished in orthodox learning, he also comes into contact with Confucian scholars like Qin Siyuan and Yao Zunian every day. Liang Bingfu is just a middle-aged person, and the knowledge of the year has not been studied for many years, so it is definitely impossible to ask Ning Yi. After chatting for a while, it was basically Ning Yi who said that he was listening. However, after all, the old man has supported the village for so many years, and occasionally he will express some opinions when he thinks of something.

Although it was summer, the afternoon passed quickly, and it was not long before it was dusk. After dinner was ready, the tables and chairs were set up, and the old man's body was still sitting straight, chatting with Ning Yi. At this time, it has been said that the work in charge of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the situation in the north, and the situation at the border pass, Ning Yi started with Zhang Jue's matter, and told the old man one by one, these things are not perfunctory, the old man listened carefully, and when he heard that Zhang Jue was dead, he sighed a little heavily, and when he heard the reactions of all parties caused by this matter, his right hand clenched the handle of the crutches and trembled slightly. After dinner, Hongti wanted to persuade him to rest, but the old man just waved his hand: "You go out, I'll follow Liheng...... Let's talk. ”

Hongti walked out of the room and went out into the courtyard. It was still cloudy during the day, and at night the light of the stars and moon was gone, and there were torches lit in the valley below, and there were also two torches burning on the gate of the courtyard behind. She looked down in this faint light for a long time, and the two men who were most important to her were chatting inside, and for her, it was also a very complicated feeling.

After a long time, she went into the courtyard and lit the lantern under the eaves. The squeaky sound sounded, and in the room with warm yellow lights opposite, Ning Yi walked out, stood there and looked at her for a while, then raised two fingers in front of him, smiled and shook it.

"Grandpa Liang, he ......," Hongti walked over.

"I'm asleep." Ning Yi said softly, "The old man is really energetic. ”

"He's holding it up."

"I know, but it also means that he takes this matter seriously, and this is his ...... for my exam."

"Grandpa Liang didn't make it difficult for you......"

"Yes, but I also attach great importance to this matter." Whispering words, the two walked towards the courtyard gate like a walk, Ning Yi smiled, "These things that the old man has done are actually very respectable, and he has a lot of responsibilities...... Just like you. ”

"I ...... I'm not as busy as Grandpa Liang. ”

"The division of labor is different."

The summer night wind blew from the mountainside, and when he walked to the side of the road overlooking the valley, Ning Yi squatted down, and Hongti also squatted down with him. In the valley, every family has already had dinner, there is not much entertainment at night, people are crowded on the road between the houses to chat, there are children frolicking and chasing the sound in the dark, far away, Luliang outside the market is more lively, but also a little chaotic. Hongti pointed to the bottom and introduced to Ning Yi, where is the residence, where to store supplies, where to build a new house, where something happened, and so on.

After a short time, I was introduced to several courtyards under the mountainside, which was the place where the "guests" who came to Luliang this time gathered. In addition to He Yuan, who has the background of the Qi family, the envoy sent by Dong Pang'er, the partial general who came from the Wusheng Army, the high-roller hero who is known as the invincible opponent in the Central Plains, and the big brother of the mountain in the nearby Luliang Mountain...... Most of them have their own purposes, or they have shouldered a mission, and so on, and some people who really think that Hongti is recruiting relatives in martial arts, these days, they are trying their best to contact Liang Bingfu. And because Hongti didn't come back, Liang Bingfu kept suppressing and dragging things down.

"Since I've come over and you're back, don't let the old man be so tired, and settle these things in the next few days." Ning Yi whispered, "On your side, you basically know their identities, right?" ”

Hongti nodded: "Yes." ”

"Well, Zhu Biao will come to me later, I will explain to him, and I will probably know what to do in two days tomorrow. Before you do that, take me to see how 'that thing' goes. ”

"Okay." Hongti stood up, raised his hand, and pointed to a place behind the side of the mountain, faintly, in the darkness there, as if a dark red light was emitting.

Soon after, the two of them walked along the mountain road towards that side. It was a blast furnace workshop hidden in the mountains. For Ning Yi, whether it was an outsider, a messenger, or the Zhao'an Zhao that shook the north of the Wu Dynasty this time, it was not the purpose of his coming here. Outside Luliang Mountain, the Jin people gradually reached their peak, the Mongols swept and expanded, and an inconspicuous Luliang Mountain was an inch short and a foot long, sometimes thinking about it, it would be a little boring.

But of course, there are also very heavy things here, such as the crazy woman in the mountain village, like the old man who finally fell asleep in fatigue, like the woman who is the owner of a village with patches sewn on her clothes, sometimes it will make him think again about the simple words she said when she first met Hongti: "Live not like a human ......" Relatively speaking, the jumping beam of a group of clowns is really boring and helpless.

However, even with such a situation, before he has to do what he has to do, these trivial problems still have to be solved after all. That night, Ning Yi and Hongti went to see the improvement progress of the blast furnace and the little steel smelted out, after getting Ning Yi's entrustment, Hongti and Liang Bingfu did their best in this matter, although the progress is not much, but it has been very much He then met with Zhu Biao, and after explaining the investigation of outsiders in the cottage, he began to plan in detail more exploration ideas.

At the same time, on the side of Lu Liang, on the cottage that originally belonged to Xiao Xiangma, the unification and sorting out of the mountain bandits had reached the last moment. Early the next morning, they set off with their soldiers, and in the evening of the same day, they arrived at the Aoki Village, where they were settled and entertained as the envoys of the Jin King Tianhu. At the same time as asking Hongti to meet, she also began to ask people to inquire about the identities of the other people who came over this time, and then reacted quickly and began to visit each family.

It was also in the evening of this day that Ning Yi was on the hillside, holding a monocular, and saw her in the team entering the mountain. At this time, the lenses of this telescope were polished by hand, and even if it was the best product, the clarity was not too high, so that he held the lens barrel and looked at it for a long time.

"Wow, that's ...... Lou Xiaowan or Lou what...... Where is Shu Heng......" Holding the telescope and looking left and right for a long time, and after thinking for a while, Ning Yi handed the lens barrel to Zhu Biao next to him.

Then he was a little happy: "Ah, at least it's a good thing to know why you were beaten......"

Of course, that night, Ning Yi didn't go over to say hello to this old friend who had been reunited after a long absence.

Lou Shuwan met him again a few days later...... (To be continued......)
