Chapter 175: Visiting Relatives, Returning to Beijing, and the Little Girl on the Stool
In the first spring rain in the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, Ning Que took Sang Sang to many places in Chang'an City, and the first thing he went to was of course the University Scholar's Mansion, after all, in any case, the University Scholar and his wife were Sang Sang's biological parents, and judging from the events of the past few days, they did have true feelings for Sang Sang.
Standing in the quiet study, Ning Que was a little nervous out of nowhere, completely different from the fierce and powerful appearance the day before yesterday, probably because he knew very well that even if there were some things in the future that did not need the couple in front of him to nod, but in the eyes of the world, he was born a generation shorter than the couple, which was several heads.
Zeng Jing and his wife knew Ning Que's identity, so they naturally didn't treat him as an ordinary person, and they also knew that the relationship between their daughter and Ning Que was not as simple as that of ordinary masters and servants, so they had three points of respect, three points of vigilance, three points of anxiety and one point of scrutiny for Ning Que.
Regarding the matter of Sangsang's departure, the people in the study had a tacit understanding and did not mention it, Ning Que was unwilling to separate Sangsang from himself in terms of household registration, Zeng Jing was a scholar thinking about the hope of the queen's mother, and Mrs. Zeng Jing only cared about holding Sangsang's hand, and tears rippled on the issue of living in Lao Bizhai for a few days and living in the bachelor's mansion for a few days, and she didn't notice this problem at all, and Sangsang was too lazy to think about these things.
In the end, the two sides had a friendly conversation and determined some basic principles for future exchanges, and Ning Que made a promise not to interfere with the reunion of the Bachelor's Mansion, and the Bachelor's Mansion also vaguely admitted that Ning Que had priority rights and some derivative rights in some aspects, and said goodbye happily for the time being.
Next, Ning Que and Sang Sang went to the princess's mansion.
Li Yu saw the master and servant under the big black umbrella, sighed softly in his heart, looked at Ning Que and said calmly: "You should know very well why the queen attaches importance to this matter. ”
Ning Que has been busy looking for people to scold the lake for killing monks and writing posts in the past two days, and he really didn't think that this matter could be related to the palace, but this matter is not complicated, he only thought about it for a moment and understood the reason, and after thinking about it, he said: "I don't think I am qualified to represent the attitude of the academy, and I think neither the teacher nor the senior brother should have any interest in expressing their attitude towards this matter." ”
Li Yu said: "The problem is that if the royal family itself cannot determine the direction of this matter at that time, if the Tang Dynasty wants to be stable and sustainable, it needs the academy to show its attitude." ”
Ning Que said: "I believe that the civil and military officials will definitely have their own tendencies when the time comes. ”
"What if the civil and military officials are divided into two factions at that time, and each of them has a dispute?"
Li Yu looked into his eyes, didn't give him any chance to dodge, and said: "Although the academy does not interfere in government politics, the attitude of the academy is extremely important to the civilian officials. ”
Ning Que frowned and remained silent.
"Why do the disciples on the second floor of the academy need to join the WTO? Because the academy is stored in the Tang Dynasty, the academy itself also needs the Tang Dynasty to be in the long term, and since you are a person who has joined the WTO, you need to shoulder this responsibility. ”
Ning Que sighed: "It seems to be a little heavy." ”
Li Yu said: "Master Yan Se has entrusted you with the safety of the entire Chang'an City, and the burden on your shoulders is already very heavy, what is the point of adding these?"
"If you have more debts, you don't have to worry, and if you have more lice, you don't itch, is this the truth?"
Ning Que said with emotion: "When we went back to Chang'an City together, Your Highness, you should know very well that I am just a very inconspicuous little person, and now in less than two years, I have to take on so many responsibilities, I really have no psychological preparation, and to be honest, I don't think I have this ability." ”
Li Yu said: "Who made you a disciple of Master and Master Yan Se? The encounter you have encountered in the past two years in Chang'an does not seem to be extremely steep, you have climbed up with your own perseverance and ability, but if you work backwards from the result, I am afraid that in the past five hundred years, the Tang Dynasty has never produced such a lucky person as you." ”
"I can't afford the safety of Chang'an City now, and as for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, others are worried about it, and His Highness's words just now are really in vain. ”
Ning Que suddenly figured out something, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said: "If there is really a problem or situation that cannot be solved, I can ask the teachers and senior brothers and sisters, I believe they must be much wiser than me, and at most I will be the guy who entered the palace to convey the opinions of the academy." ”
Li Yu was silent for a moment and then looked at him and smiled and said, "I hope you will see me when you enter the palace." ”
Ning Que said: "I only hope that you in the palace will not be disappointed when you see me at that time." ”
The first spring rain came quietly, and it went quietly, and it disappeared after a while, turning into the fluffy wetness on the countless black eaves and powder walls of Chang'an City, not making the streets and alleys colder, but just washing the face and moistening the body of the winter tree that has not yet budded.
Sang Sang took the big black umbrella handed over by Ning Que, bundled it behind him, looked up at him and said, "Why are you always so difficult to understand what you said to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"It's all very simple. Ning Que thought about Li Yu's years of continuous support for young people loyal to her in the military in the DPRK and China, and said: "It's just that the people who speak are more complicated.
Sangsang said: "You didn't say she was an idiot today. ”
Ning Que replied: "Although I still think that her approach is a bit idiotic, but after all, she is your friend, and she has a good relationship with me, so it's good to keep some virtue." ”
They then went to the Red Sleeve Move, went to the Xicheng Gambling House, and even went to the Imperial City for a walk, and met Jian Jia, Qi Siye, Xu Chongshan and others. Ning Que didn't stay too long in these places, and he didn't say anything, but just appeared in front of them with Sangsang, which was enough to show this clear meaning.
Sangsang has returned, don't worry, don't worry about Sangsang's safety, and don't worry about the murderous aura on Ning Que's body that is about to open the entire Chang'an City.
When leaving the palace and passing through the South Gate Temple, Ning Que looked at the cornices in the temple and the plum blossoms that poked their heads out, and suddenly thought of what He Mingchi had said, looked at Sang Sang beside him and asked: "Although I hate that dead old man, but after all, you are his only heir, I heard that the Xiling Temple has been trying to take you back, which means that you may become a great priest of light in the future, what do you think of this matter?"
Sang Sang said: "The teacher didn't ask me to go to Xiling. ”
Ning Que smiled and said, "I don't mean to let you go to Xiling, but occasionally I think about my family's Sangsang, who can actually be the Great Priest of Light, and I think this matter is very interesting." ”
"A Bright Great Divine Palace brings you tea, water, makes a bed, stacks the quilt, and even warms the bed, which is indeed a very proud thing, but if you let the hundreds of millions of Hao Heavenly Dao Sect believers in the world know that you have such an evil idea, do you believe it or not, even if you enter the mountain behind the academy, you will be drowned by the spittle star?"
Chen Pipi didn't know when he appeared in front of the two, looked at Ning Que and said with a sneer.
Ning Que looked at him and asked, "Why can you always find me so easily?"
Chen Pipi said: "Because of the shameless smell on your body, it has a strong smell. ”
Ning Que didn't bother to fight with him, and asked, "What's the matter with me today?"
He suddenly remembered that Chen Pipi had mentioned that the academy had held a meeting, and everyone quarreled and quarreled without any result, and the seventh senior sister said that she would arrest herself and go back for interrogation, and couldn't help but ask vigilantly: "Why did the matter become like this, senior brothers and sisters? Do you have to let me go back to participate? Don't you want to trick me to go back and let me be their punching bag for you." ”
Chen Pipi glanced at Sang Sang beside him and said, "That matter has been resolved." ”
Ning Que asked slightly, "How did you solve it?" ”
Chen Pipi said: "Because someone solved it by themselves, so the senior brothers and sisters also solved it." ”
Sang Sang gently tugged at Ning Que's sleeve and reminded, "He seems to be talking about you." ”
Ning Yuan nodded and said, "I also heard that there is something strange in this matter. ”
Then he looked at Chen Pipi and asked, "Now that the matter has been settled, what are you coming to me for?"
Chen Pipi responded: "Find you back to the academy." ”
Ning Que asked, "What happened again?"
Chen Pipi said: "Because the rock master is back." ”
Under the lonely plum tree that leaned out of the wall at the south gate, Ning Que did not speak for a long time.
Since entering the academy, he has been looking forward to the day when he meets the legendary master of the teacher, but the master has always traveled, even if the senior brother appeared, he still did not appear, until this time, suddenly someone ran over and said that the master had returned to Chang'an, which was too sudden.
Ning Que didn't know what kind of person the master was, and he hadn't even heard of any legendary deeds of the master except for the Xiling Taoshan Cut, but he knew very well that a person who could be a junior uncle and a senior brother, and a person who could teach a character like a senior brother and a second senior brother, must be a person who had been legendary to the extreme for a year.
And such a person is his own teacher, every time he thinks of this, he is proud of his toothache, and when he finally sees the teacher today, he is nervous and anxious with a toothache, and subconsciously wants to escape.
"I haven't brushed it yet...... I brushed my teeth, but I ...... I'm still not ready for ...... Look, look at this winter piece on me...... I haven't washed it in a few days, and there are porridge stains on it. ”
Ning Que pointed to the stains on the beef and egg porridge in front of him, and explained very seriously and nervously: "I think I should go back to bathe, burn incense, and clean myself and then change into new clothes and then go back to the academy." ”
"Bathing and burning incense to cleanse yourself?"
Chen Pipi looked at him very sternly and said seriously: "If you let the teacher know that you have done these things, you will definitely let the second senior brother make you into a meatloaf, because the teacher thinks that only the deceased ancestors can enjoy these treatments, which is equivalent to saying that you treat him as a dead person." ”
Ning Que didn't know that on the terrace of Songhe Tower, he had already scolded his master for being a dead old man, so when he heard Chen Pipi's threat at this time, he suddenly became evil, and said that he would immediately return to the academy with him.
He looked at Sangsang, ready to let her go back to Lao Bizhai first.
"Go together, go together. ”
Chen Pipi glanced at Sang Sang and said, "The teacher is probably very curious about your little maid of the Bright God Throne, and specially ordered you to take her with him." ”
Ning Xiao's head, except for him, Sang Sang has an indispensable attitude towards everything in the world, since he agrees to go with her, then she will go together.
However, the three people who went to the academy were forced to stop before they left Chang'an City.
Because the wide flat of Suzaku Street in front of the south gate of Chang'an City was crowded with people.
I don't know what kind of excitement it was, but it attracted so many people after the rain.
Chen Pipi tiptoed and looked into the crowd.
I saw a bench in an open space in the middle of the crowd.
There was a white dog lying under the bench.
There was a little girl lying on the bench.
The little girl was wearing a shabby leather jacket.
On top of the leather jacket was a heavy bar-shaped boulder.
