Chapter 811: Master and Apprentice
After all, Li Nai's heart is not as cold as Li Ding's, although he suspects Yang Ruixue, but he will not do it at will until he investigates it clearly.
It was Yang Ruixue who had been looking at Li Nai. She always had doubts about the death of her mother and the little brother she had adopted. But seeing that Li Nai didn't have any weakness in her speech, she couldn't make up her mind in her heart.
However, in the capital over the years, she knows the importance of money. It was in the Ilgen Jueluo family that those subordinates did not dare to snub because of her status as a concubine, in addition to having the favor of Yiduli, it had something to do with her generous reward.
Thinking of this, she remembered that her family was in Jiangning's Yinlou Tongzhuchang, and she let Li Dingba go in her early years. Now that Li Ding has been dead for a few years, and his short-lived little brother is gone, should this property also be recovered?
Even if the Li family wants to occupy it, they should think about paying a price. As far as the two properties in the capital are concerned, there is not much money in the total, and it is nothing compared to the Yang family's property.
If the Li family doesn't let go, I'm afraid they still have to ask their two "brothers and sisters" to come forward, and it's not good to let the family property fall into the hands of outsiders like this.
Li Nai was already suspicious of her, but when she saw her flickering eyes, she felt more and more that there was a ghost.
The Yang family knew that the uncle of the Li family was not as good as Li Ding, and he was an honest man. The gentleman deceived him, she thought to herself, her face was already full of grief, and her eyes were already watery. She took the handkerchief and tried the corners of her eyes, and said with a little sadness: "My cousin took care of my mother and my brother, and I am grateful in my heart. I was still thinking that I would find a chance to pick up my mother and kiss them into Beijing, who would have thought that they would go like this......"
If she sang and wrote well in the past, she would definitely attract the pity of Li Nai, the good old man; Now Li Nai has doubts in his heart, looking at Yang Ruixue like this, he only feels pretentious.
Thinking that she was filial piety, she became her brother's outer room, not a woman. Today, too, I know that there is no female dependent in charge of the inner house, and I came directly to ask for a meeting, which is really short of the rules.
Yang Ruixue saw that Li Nai was just looking at herself, and she didn't react, so she could only complain that this person was too honest. I'm afraid that if he doesn't say it, he can't remember the inheritance.
"Uncle, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to mention or not?" Yang Ruixue thought about it in her heart and said.
Li Nai saw that she had collected her tears, and she was much more serious, and wanted to see her next moves, so she followed the words: "Since you are a cousin of the Li family, what can't you mention?" ”
Yang Ruixue sighed and said, "Originally, I should have written to ask my cousin, but since the uncle has entered Beijing, it is better to find the uncle first to get an idea." It's nothing else, it's our Yangjia Jiangning's industries. It stands to reason that since my cousin bought a dowry for me in Beijing, there is nothing to honor my cousin in the property over there, but I am not the only one left in the Yang family, there are two brothers and sisters above. Since my mother is gone, there must be an explanation for the property over there, otherwise my brothers and sisters will think that I have embezzled my mother's property and blame it, where can I afford it! ”
Li Nai's heart was a little embarrassed when he heard this mention.
He knew about the Li family's private swallowing of the Yang family's pearl field and Yinlou, but it was not easy to show it on the face.
Yang Ruixue saw that Li Nai was still unmoved, and she was a little anxious, and couldn't help but say: "My brother is from the Cao family, and my sister-in-law is the daughter of the Cao Mansion's housekeeper; My sister and brother-in-law are on errands in the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, and I heard that they have always been relied on by the Thirteenth Elder Brother. Because it wasn't from the same mother, the two of them were already prejudiced against me, if they really thought that I had monopolized my mother's property, and I really wanted to make trouble, how should I deal with it when I was a little girl? ”
Although Li Nai has not been out of office, he has been with his father since he was a teenager, and he has never heard anything, so he can naturally hear the threat in it.
It's just that I didn't expect that the Cao family and the prince's mansion were also involved behind the Yang family, and Li Nai originally wanted to discuss the Yang family's affairs with Cao Hao, but now he has changed his mind.
He muttered a few words in his mouth, which was very polite, and sent Yang Ruixue away.
Yang Ruixue thought that he was moved, and with a little pride, he went out and got into the carriage. When she got to the carriage, she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Li Xu, who looked kind and was very fierce in her speech.
Immediately, she was relieved that she had thought too much, and in her early years, she had a narrow vision in the south, thinking that the Cao family and the Li family were powerful; When I arrived in the capital, I saw the wealth of the banner people, and I realized that in the eyes of the people in the capital, the Li family was really not of much weight......* Cao Hao only stayed in the capital for a day, and the next morning he left the city and went to Changping Zhuangzi.
There are also Zhaojia's family, Jade, fourth sister, and Wu'er, Shangshu's mansion has burned "Wuqi", and Zhaojia's family originally thought about going to Changping to find Li's family. Knowing that Cao Hao was coming back, he took Jade and his two daughters out of the city.
Jinghui has to take care of her two daughters and manage the housework, which is inseparable. Chunhua offended Zhao Jia's because of Aunt Baodie's incident last month, and Zhao Jia's family would not treat her. There is only one Suxin left, and Zhaojia's family is reluctant to take it away, after all, his son is studying, and he also needs someone to take care of him.
Therefore, three daughters-in-law, one did not bring.
Although Marhan is old, after all, his status is there, and he can be regarded as the mother of the Zhaojia family. Now that the old man has passed away, Zhao Jia's family has also been quite shocked, and he looks much more honest.
In addition, there were only two elders of the same age in the family, she and the Li family, and the two got together to talk about the past in Jiangning in the early years, and they were also relieved at that time.
Although Cao Hao didn't want to see her, he couldn't deal with Cao Song, who thought of going to Qinghai.
The years in the villa have been peaceful.
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of April.
Fang Chonggong took Qi Niang to Zhuangzi to say goodbye, and Vanilla already knew about Qi Niang's return to her hometown. Although it is reluctant, it is related to Qi Niang's lifelong event, and it is Fang Chonggong's decision, and the vanilla is not easy to say.
Holding back her tears, she took out a large plain satin package and sent it to Qi Niang, saying: "This is what I started to prepare for you two years ago, I wanted to make it more fine, but the craftsmanship is limited, and these words are a little rushed." It's a little bit of my heart, Qi Niang don't dislike it. ”
Qi Niang was a little curious, hesitating to open it and take a look, so she heard Vanilla say: "Come and call, try it." Because I think you have to be long, so make it bigger, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it for you. ”
Qi Niang listened, opened the burden in her hand, and her eyes were red, and she was wearing a splendid wedding dress.
Seeing this, Qi Niang had already thrown herself into Vanilla's arms, choked up and said, "Aunt Xiang, Aunt Xiang ......"
Vanilla listened bitterly, touched her head, and said, "Don't you get angry with Aunt Xiang?" I knew that you would go back to my hometown with your father, and I should have picked you up as soon as possible. ”
Qi Niang buried her head in Vanilla's arms, choked up and said, "It's all Qi Niang, you shouldn't compete with the little doll for Aunt Xiang." Daddy is old and wants to go back to his hometown, I have to leave, but I can't bear to ...... Aunt Xiang."
Vanilla has lived with her for a few years, and she is reluctant to watch her grow from a yellow-haired girl to a graceful girl. But from Fujian to the capital, thousands of miles away, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to meet again...... * Qi Niang said goodbye at the herbs, and Fang Chonggong was talking to Cao Hao.
For the father and daughter of the Fang family, Cao Hao felt guilty in his heart. They were originally idle clouds and wild cranes who were free on the rivers and lakes, and they stayed in the capital for several years for their own selfishness.
On the occasion of parting, in addition to foreign things such as silver money, Cao Hao also carefully prepared a gift for Fang Chonggong.
Flipping through the few books in the box in his hand, Fang Chonggong's hand trembled slightly. This is a medical book in the royal collection, the world has always only heard of its name, and now it is in his own hands.
"Cao Ye ......" Fang Chonggong raised his head and looked at Cao Hao, only feeling that it was not a word "Xie" that could express his feelings.
"Elder Fang, although Fujian is far from the capital, if there is something in the future, don't forget Cao's side. Brother Wei has a very good relationship with Vanilla and sister-in-law with Qi Niang, and Cao Jia and Qi Niang have the name of master and apprentice, and everyone is not worried about her. Cao Hao said.
Fang Chonggong thought that he was close to old age, and his relatives were withering in his hometown, so he put down the box in his hand, clenched his fists and said solemnly: "In this way, the little old man has thanked Cao Ye." ”
Cao Hao saw that he should respond, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's not that I haven't thought about persuading the old man to choose a son-in-law in the capital, but at this time, people pay attention to "returning to the roots". The old man insisted on returning to his hometown, in addition to his daughter's relatives, but also his own affairs.
Listening to what Qi Niang said in her early years, the Fang family was just a commoner, and Fang Chonggong was on the rivers and lakes in his early years, if he offended the government or provoked any enemies, as long as he could get the news, Cao Hao could also help one or two.
Fang Chonggong was grateful for Cao Hao's kindness, and he was very appreciative in his heart, but thinking of his daughter's master-apprenticeship with Cao Jia, he was also quite worried.
Fang Chonggong's hometown is in eastern Fujian, and the customs there are different from those in the capital.
The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the banner people are noble. On the eastern side of Fujian, the people are fierce, and most of the people living in them are Hakka people and Fujian mountain people. In their eyes, those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Privately, they all called the Manchus "Tartars".
In the early years of Hongmen, the base camp was Fujian.
Later, the Hongmen civil strife, the owner of the Hongmen Gate disappeared, the inner eight gates were split, and the outer eight gates were hidden, and no one mentioned the words of "anti-Qing and Mingming".
Although Fang Chonggong is not from Hongmen, several friends he made friends with in his early years are Hongmen people, and he knows more about Hongmen.
Rao is like this, in the eyes of the Jianghu people in the south, this Manchurian Han who defected to the imperial court cannot be regarded as the same race.
If it is spread out, the master of Qi Niangbai is from the banner family, and Fang Chonggong always feels that something is wrong when he thinks of this. But he is not a person who doesn't know what to do, the Cao family treats Qi Niang very well, although Cao Jia hides his real name, but in the past few years, he has taught Qi Niang and taught a lot of immortal learning.
Cao Hao is not a Jianghu person after all, he doesn't know these Jianghu people, seeing that Fang Chonggong is not saying anything, he just thinks that he has nothing to say. What should have been sent has been delivered, and what should be explained has also been explained, and Cao Hao has nothing to say about it, so he called someone to take Fang Chonggong down to settle it.
On Qi Niang's side, I saw vanilla and Wei Hei again. Although Wei Hei was reluctant in his heart, it was not easy for a big man to show everything on his face.
He handed the box of gold beads that had been prepared to Qi Niang's hand and said, "Take the flowers." ”
Qi Niang only felt heavy in her hands, and her heart was uncomfortable, and she murmured, "Uncle ......"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Wei Hei couldn't bear it, so he got up and said, "By the way, your master heard that you were coming, and asked you to go to the Zhuangzi school to see him." Go out of this courtyard and turn left, and you will pass two courtyards. ”
Qi Niang handed over the box in her hand to Vanilla to collect, listened to Wei Hei's words, and went to the school to find Cao Jia.
Although Cao Jia is plain and cold, Qi Niang is still grateful to this master.
I don't know if it's because of parting, Cao Jia is much kinder than usual. Seeing Qi Niang coming, his expression softened a lot, and said, "How is the White Crane Boxing practiced?" Let's take a look. ”
Qi Niang wears a half-length gown on her upper body and tight pants on her lower body, so she is not in the way when she practices her fists and feet.
After a fist play, it is like a smooth flow.
Cao Jia saw it, but he didn't mean to praise it, picked out a few mistakes, and pointed them out.
Qi Niang made a small face, listened carefully, and remembered them one by one. Occasionally, she also raised a few doubts, and some postures and movements, interpreted in different ways, were cheaper than the instructions originally taught by the master.
Cao Jia listened and pondered. The master and apprentice occasionally demonstrated, some places Cao Jia bowed his head, and some places shook his head, pointing out the fallacy of Qi Niang's understanding of boxing.
After Cao Jia finished preaching, he put his hands behind his back, glanced in the direction of that side a few times, and said, "Back in Fujian, if someone asks about the origin of your fist, there is no need to mention me." After today, I will no longer be your master. ”
When Qi Niang heard this, she was shocked.
Not only do scholars pay attention to "being a teacher for a lifetime, and being a father for life", but Jianghu people also attach great importance to their teachers. If you don't recognize your master, you are deceiving your teacher and destroying your ancestors.
"Master, is it Qi Niang who disappointed the master?" Qi Niang thought about Cao Jia's fault, and regretted it in her heart. It's that I'm too self-righteous, and I make a mess of the boxing taught by my master.
Cao Jia shook his head, turned his head for a while, and said: "Qi Niang's bones are Qingqi, she is only a teenager, and she has current achievements, which are already much stronger than when she was a teacher. Why stick to the name, as long as you are a master in your heart, you are not an outsider, so why not? ”
Qi Niang remembered what she heard Cao Yi say in her early years, the master was a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, and he was also a figure calling for wind and rain in Nanlvlin in his early years. Hidden in the Cao family, he is tired of fighting in the rivers and lakes, and he is also indebted to the Cao family.
She is also an open-minded person, thinking that since the master is in seclusion and does not want to be famous, she should not refute his intentions.
There was just one thing she had to ask. After all, it was Cao Jia who took back the title of master and apprentice, but in her lifetime, she would remember that she had a master in the capital.
"The master doesn't let Qi Niang tell others that the master is the master, then Qi Niang doesn't say it, but can the master tell Qi Niang, the master's name? Qi Niang will not tell outsiders, Qi Niang will remember it in her own heart. Qi Niang looked at Cao Jia and said with a little pleading.
When Cao Jia heard this, he was quite surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Name...... I'm already dead......"
Pingsu only felt that his master was moody, like a wooden man, and now seeing his true feelings, Qi Niang felt so sad that he couldn't do it.
That kind of confused and sad expression is really not suitable for his master.
Qi Niang already regretted it in her heart, since the master was living in seclusion, and there was no one around him, he was designated as having a sad matter, and he really shouldn't mention this.
Qi Niang was still thinking about how to diverge the words, so she heard Cao Jia say in a low voice: "My surname is Bu, I have been down for half my life, I have achieved nothing, and I don'......t mention my name."
