Chapter 208: The First Revelation

"Son-in-law"

Sending Shi Changqi out of the alley of Taiping Lane, Ning Yi stood under the plane tree at the intersection and watched the scene of martial arts practice in the Liu Clan's martial arts hall for a while.

Shi Changqi, who had just been sent away, came for the second time, and the first time was yesterday, because Ning Yi and Su Tan'er went out in the morning, the other party waited until the afternoon, and Ning Yi and the others came home after lunch in the restaurant before they saw each other. This person is sincere, and it seems that he has the style of a humble gentleman, and Ning Yi is willing to make friends.

Putting aside the poems and texts, when Ning Yi was not malicious and was kind to others, it was a good conversation that afternoon, when Chang Qi said goodbye, he would come back to visit him in a few days, but he rushed over this afternoon, and he didn't know where he heard about Ning Yi's identity as a son-in-law, and hurriedly came over for verification.

The weather is relatively cool today, and there is no need to go to the West Lake to take a nap, Ning Yi and Su Tan'er are at home, and when Shi Changqi came, Su Tan'er had some things in the shop. The other party exchanged a few words, and then asked Ning Yi straight to the point if he was in trouble, which made Ning Yi a little surprised, and then naturally admitted it readily, the other party's emotions became anxious, and asked Ning Yi if he had any hardships in the past, and vaguely said that my generation of men should have great ambitions, no matter what kind of predicament they encounter, they should not abandon their families and join the family, etc., this vague expression had no effect after that, and then strengthened the tone.

Ning Yi now looks like he is only in his early twenties, although his temperament is calm, but his young face is actually difficult to form an overall sense of persuasion and oppression. Shi Changqi is twenty-six or seventeen years old, he originally came to visit because he heard about Ning Yi's reputation in Jiangning, but after coming to the door, since he talked about the deed, he obviously had a feeling of caring for the younger generation.

At your age, you have abandoned your ancestors to join a merchant family, and you have not repented in the slightest as a scholar, how can you be like this......

Shi Changqi's attitude gradually became stricter, and Ning Yi listened for a while before he smiled and asked, "What happened to Brother Shi today?" ”

When this sentence came out, Shi Changqi was slightly conscious, but then he was still a little unwilling: "In any case, this kind of thing is not a wise move after all, the family of businessmen, seeking wealth and profit is one of them, and Brother Ning's wife throws her head every day, I will wait for ......" "Brother Shi." Ning Yi smiled and broke his nose, "Brother Shi came over today, did he want to persuade me to break up with my wife?" ”

"..............., I don't mean that, it's just ......"

Ning Yi waved his hand: "Family affairs are just trivial matters, and there is no need to be an outsider, but Brother Shi is enthusiastic, and he is also feeling in the next place." Clumsy Jing is a very good person, we have been married for two years, and the relationship is not bad, she respects me and I like her. No matter what happened in the past, if you want to separate the family, there are many things involved, and these things are extremely troublesome and the final result is just to hurt the feelings of the family. I don't know what my brother thinks, but for me, the relationship between family members is extremely important. What does Brother Shi think? ”

Ning Yi was used to seeing all kinds of things, and he was not angry at the sudden enthusiasm of the scholar in front of him, even if he was a little surprised, he didn't have much interest in exploring it. At this time, he pushed it with a needle, and soon after, he sent the other party who had nothing to say out of the alley, and the number of courtesies was sufficient, and he knew in his heart that there would not be any contacts in the future.

People are complicated, Ning Yi has always understood that when he first arrived, he didn't have much feeling about the scholarly tone of this era, and he didn't hate it, disagree, and didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, he didn't yearn for this era before, so he didn't need to look for any resonance. In the past two years, because he lives here, he can also appreciate the atmosphere and atmosphere of this era, just like Changqi at this time, some things he insists on are always worth appreciating, of course, after appreciating, he smiled.

At this time, it was yīn day, the clouds in the sky obscured the scorching sun, and there was no rest in the martial arts hall at the entrance of the alley, and several people were practicing with wooden knives in Ning Yi's field of vision. Ning Yi looked outside the door, and a few people practicing swords in the martial arts hall occasionally looked at him, but Zhilu said that he was a resident in this alley, and he was used to his occasional bystanders.

In fact, the sword technique taught in the Liu Clan's martial arts hall is not profound, and in these years, without the cultivation of people like Lu Hongti, there is no way to watch it much. Ning Yi looked at it for a while, and was about to leave, when a carriage drove over on the other side of the road and lifted the curtain beside Ning Yi. ,

"Brother-in-law."

In the carriage were Lou Shuwan and her maid Ah Guo. Although Lou Shuwan was a little contemptuous of Ning Yi when they first met, but later in the process of interacting with Ning Yi and Su Tan'er, this woman's attitude was still clean and hearty, not restrained, but also had the sense of being a woman from a good family.

"The previous person was Shi Changqi, and his brother-in-law knew him?" "Not very familiar, he's famous?" "It is famous in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Yi nodded and looked at Lou Shuwan thoughtfully, but Lou Shuwan didn't say much on this topic: "Is Sister Tan'er at home?" ”

"I went to the shop before, and I'm afraid it will take a while to come back. Let's go sit down for a while. "Oh. Lou Shuwan thought about it, then shook her head...... still can't do it. I'm just passing by, and I have some things to do later, so my brother-in-law said hello to Tan'er for me. After saying that, after chatting a few more words, Lou Shuwan put down the car curtain, and Ning Yi turned around and went home. The carriage crossed this side of the road, and in the carriage, Lou Shuwan already had another cold expression. The little maid said softly: "Miss came over to just look at this one?" Lou Shuwan smiled: "It's just a casual look, just see Shi Changqi leave, what else do you want to see?" "But I don't know what happened to them......"

"Where will there be a real quarrel, when Shi Changqi left, his face was depressed and unhappy, but obviously it was useless to say it without finishing it. My brother-in-law is really funny, and he can get people all the way to the intersection. I've seen so much, you little girl knows what not to bother me. ”

Lou Shuwan closed her eyes and thought about these things, the little maid closed her mouth knowingly, and the carriage drove all the way through Hangzhou City and returned to Lou's house after a short time. The master and servant got out of the car and went to a courtyard near the side door, after entering, Lou Shuwan directly pushed open the closed door in the courtyard, and a disheveled man in the room was laughing with the maid, and when he saw her come in, he restrained himself and hurriedly buttoned up his coat, but it was Lou Shuwan's second brother Lou Shuheng.

"How?"

"Lou went to Tan'er's side to see, and Shi Changqi really went to my brother-in-law for verification, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood."

"Oh? ...... "Lou Shuheng is a romantic and golden person, rich in nightlife every day, at this time in fact, he only got up chuáng, at this time to tidy up and wash, but the face came to the spirit Lou Shuwan said the scene he happened to see, his expression was a little disappointed: "Oh, I saw Shi Changqi say goodbye."

"The brother-in-law sent him out with a calm expression, but Shi Changqi's face was very bad and he looked unwilling, even if you ridicule him in the future, what is there to be disappointed." "Nothing." Lou Shuheng pursed his lips, "But I heard you talk about it, my brother-in-law's cultivation is good." "It's not self-cultivation, it's not simple."

"It's not easy for people to get rich." Lou Shuheng tidied up his clothes in front of the bronze mirror on the table, "I said that it was the first talent in Jiangning, I met a few times, but I didn't feel it at all, Tan'er sister is not simple, I wonder if Tan'er girl deliberately brought him out, didn't he say that he only made a few poems......"

"I heard Su Wending Su Wenfang say that when the Su family had a problem, Tan'er's sister fell ill, and Tan'er's sister's father was assassinated, it was he who suddenly made a move to turn the tide, and the Wu family was yīn to death in Jiangning.

"That said, what has he done in the past month or so besides walking around behind a woman's ass? What he tried to turn the tide, maybe it was Su Tan'er who deliberately planned it...

Target. At most, he can hide clumsy, as for self-cultivation, anyway, he can't do anything, isn't my brother-in-law's self-cultivation also tǐng? ”

Lou Shuwan frowned: "You are angry, just speak, don't climb on me." "I'm ......" Lou Shuheng turned around to defend himself, and with a bang, Lou Shuwan slapped the table, for a moment, took a breath, and sneered: "A few days ago, after my father said that he had the intention to let you marry the Su family, I think you are interested in Tan'er's sister-in-law, and even with the Su family's brother-in-law, it is also a little inappropriate." Hmph, you can see it clearly today......,...

Lou Shuheng stood up straight over there, with his back to her, and only turned his head after a while: "I have a good impression of her, how about it?" She's tǐng good, and having a good impression doesn't mean what she wants to do.

I don't think she's worth it in my heart, it's not worth it for you, you're my sister, I'm not worth it for you, why should a man have the ability to be rich, you appreciate him, or let him come to our house", "Lou Shuheng, you are full of stinky bullshit!" Lou Shuwan scolded, and then said, "Get out." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

………,………,………,………,………

The brothers and sisters of the Lou family here lost their temper inexplicably, and Shi Changqi over there was actually quite depressed. Lou Shuwan will go to Taiping Lane to see the situation, but in fact, it is not because of Ning Yi, but mainly because of him.

He ran to visit Ning Yi, originally with sincerity, because Qian Xiwen had a high evaluation of Ning Yi's poetry, and said that he had met him recently, and his evaluation of him was also good. Participated in the Qinglou party that night, and said about the meeting by the way, saying that the first genius of Jiangning came to Hangzhou, he had already seen it, and the detailed conversation was very pleasant, and the other party was open-minded and uninhibited, and his demeanor was excellent.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the underworld is mixed with face, and the literary world is also the same, especially in front of Qinglou parties and women. Shi Changqi's writing is very good, since the completion of poetry and writing, he is often sought after, and he is also a face-loving person, he made this friend, and the other party has strength, so he naturally praises people with oil and vinegar. The problem is that the exaggeration is too high to get off the stage.

Suzhou and Hangzhou have the regional culture of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and they are both poets, and everyone is somewhat unhappy with Shi Changqi's behavior of saying such a good Jiangning person, and Shi Changqi also understands, but Ning Yi's previous poems are there, he is confident, and the other party can also see the gap. If you want to say that you will recommend someone to come to the door to ask for advice, you always have to weigh it in advance. Ning Yi has been in Hangzhou for more than a month, but there is no one in this group of scholars, and everyone is a little hesitant for a while, but it happened that Lou Shuheng was among them at that time, he looked at Shi Changqi and was unhappy, and waited until the other party praised it almost before he came out to speak.

That guy is a bunch.

It is still the merchant family who is rich.

For more than a month, he has been talking about business with women, and all women are talking about Lou Shuheng is a powerful person on weekdays, he has a grasp of things, and what he said is just right, Shi Changqi is talking happily, he throws this thing out, just blocking the other party's room to turn around.

You say that you know a friend so powerful, so exaggerated, you are so happy, but he is rich, do you know the Tao...............,

As soon as he broke the news, everyone was also happy and coaxed together. Shi Changqi blushed at that time: "Impossible, how can there be such a thing, how do you know Lu Dao, you are talking nonsense!" Lou Shuheng didn't say how he knew the Tao, and it was difficult to ride a tiger over there, saying that he would definitely expose his lies the next day. Shi Changqi knew that Ning Yi might be at home in the afternoon, but in the morning, he met a few more people and was taken aback, so he hurriedly ran to Taiping Lane to verify, and Lou Shuwan just learned about this interesting story from others and came to take a look.

After this verification, Shi Changqi was also a little confused. Originally, if he was calm and knew about it, he would at most feel strange, even if he felt that the other party shouldn't be like this, he wouldn't come to the door to point fingers. At this time, he was going to become a laughing stock somewhat, and when he went to visit the teacher at night, he was also a little absent-minded, he didn't know if Qian Xiwen knew about this and what his attitude was, so he didn't say much, but Qian Xiwen saw that he had something on his mind for the first time, thought about it for a while, and asked: "Changqi, you went to visit Ning Liheng yesterday, how did you feel?" ,…

Qian Xiwen thought that Ning Yi was amazing, so he took a hand and shocked his disciple.

Although there is no first place in the text, with the other party's poetic talent, I am afraid it can still be done. As a result, Shi Changqi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "But, teacher, that Ning Liheng is actually a person who has entered a wealthy family, and he has entered a merchant family, the student really thinks that this person is this person" He was not able to describe it for a while, Qian Xiwen frowned: "Rich? What's in the bag? After listening to this, Qian Xiwen just frowned and thought for a while, and did not express his position, and soon after, he sent Shi Changqi away and called the old housekeeper who had been following him.

"Qian Yu, have you heard about Ning Yi?" The old butler thought for a moment and nodded: "The old slave did hear about it before. "Oh?"

I heard that he came to Hangzhou for more than a month, and he did not visit any literary talents, nor did he participate in any literary meetings, although he has some relationship with the Lou family, but his contacts do not seem to be close. His wife's family is in the cloth business, and in the past month, he has only accompanied his wife to visit some merchants' homes, or to play on his own, and it seems that he has no intention of meeting friends and showing his reputation. "No wonder," Qian Xiwen nodded, "I was still thinking about why he has been here for a long time, and I haven't heard his name mentioned by others......"

"This man really doesn't look like a great talent. In addition, when Shi Gongzi was in power, the old slave also heard about it this morning, and it seems that Shi Gongzi was still in the drunken crane tower last night to praise Ning Gongzi for coming......"

Qian Yue told everything that happened last night, Qian Xiwen laughed out loud, while thinking, shaking his head, and after a long time, he looked out the door and said: "The news has been coming since the beginning of the month, Qian Yue, you also know the ...... of the Dao."

"Huh?"

"Qin Siyuan entered Beijing, and now he has regained as the right minister, today, under the two people, above the ten thousand.

I thought about it, when Ning Liheng went south, he was already preparing to go to Beijing, and at this time, he could still write this letter, in which he asked me to take care of Ning Liheng...... Although the words are simple, the meaning is indes......cribable" "It seems that this Ning Liheng should be the Qin family's younger brother Jing" "If it is an ordinary Qin disciple, as the Duke of Qin, where will he write this word for him." Qian Xiwen thought about it, laughed a little incredulously, and shook his head, "Heh, he... It shouldn't be the bloodline of the Qin family, otherwise he will never get into the red, if he is a protégé of the Qin family, a person who has become a rich person can be so favored by the other party, heh, this person will not be simple, but I can't figure it out for a while......"

Qian Yue looked at him and stroked his forehead and thought, and said, "Do you want to invite him to come over to the house?" "No, it's deliberate." Qian Xiwen waved his hand, "I haven't been in touch for more than a month, in a few days of autumn, Xiaoyingzhou will have a poetry meeting, you can write a post, pay my name to send it over, invite ..............., invite his family, and go over to play." ”

"Yes." @。
