Chapter Twenty-Five: Early Winter
After October, the weather in Hangzhou was very cold, which was a little different from what Jiang Ning imagined, probably because of the global warming in that era, the weather in Hangzhou was already similar to that of the northern generation at that time.
The rain in late autumn, with a chill, Jiang Ning walked across the small bridge, knocked down the water stains on his body, and wore cloth shoes with a crescent moon, with thick soles, and walked extremely softly. The people in Hangzhou have also added clothes, except for those who get up early and are greedy for darkness, there are fewer people who get up early.
"Uncle, Uncle, wait for the crescent moon ......" The crescent moon trotted up, holding a book in her arms, holding it up with great interest, and handing it to Jiang Ning.
"The ghost legend told here is far from what my uncle said, why don't you write a book, I asked Miss, Mr. Cao has not written "The Story of Stones" at all, if you write it, it will definitely be passed on by word of mouth......"
"Really? But my uncle is a little lazy, this kind of troublesome work, if you can't do it, you won't do it, haha......" Jiang Ning laughed.
"In the restaurant just now, the man who claimed to be a genius didn't know anything, and he said nonsense, if my uncle wrote a poem to scold him, I would definitely copy it ten times and a hundred times, and everyone in the restaurant had a copy of ......," Crescent Moon said angrily.
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Uncle, the crescent moon is speaking for you......"
"That's angry? Haha, then you have to be careful in the future, or you might be by me one day......"
"Uncle, you're kidding me again......"
It has been two months since the advent of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", and during this time, everything has been said, and the restaurant and the green building have taken this matter as the theme of discussion, and the poetry club and the like have to comment on this poem. Some people said that Wang Ruoyan, who was difficult for the Yang family and Donglin students at the Flower Boat Poetry Meeting that day, said that the voice and color, how the maid reversed the two levels, and how Jiang Ning's poems turned over Jedi became the talk after dinner.
All this, all kinds of voices are endless, since Xia Lao's comments in Donglin Academy, many talents in these two months are even more visited, to compete with Jiang Ning, in the library pavilion, there are also many difficult meanings, Jiang Ning is pure-hearted, without fighting with the world, there is no intention to fight with these students, can hide and hide, is not to hide, but also to find things to prevaricate in the past, so that the rumors are even worse.
Since going to Xia Mansion, I am often pulled by Xia Lao or directly called away by Liu San, and go to the house to learn a thing or two, sometimes Bi Lao is also there, but it is all in the afternoon, and when he rises, he eats in the house and talks about wine, although it is not much, but it is also a slightly drunk state.
"I said, brother, you have such a talent, why are you so indifferent to the competition of many talents?" Bi Lao drank a glass of wine, and was a little surprised by Jiang Ning's attitude towards opportunities.
Students will compete for a high level, and then achieve a good reputation, spread out, for the worth, fame or fame has great benefits, it is clearly a good thing to gain fame and fortune, and it is passed to the ears of those women, not to mention those who throw them into their arms.
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "The word fame and fortune is just a passing moment in the eyes of the younger brother, and the current situation is also very good, life in the world, just a few decades, it is better to use limited time to do something truly meaningful." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Lao also strongly disagreed: "The husband should make meritorious contributions, cultural governance and martial arts are all choices, enter the WTO by the imperial examination, make suggestions in front of the palace, and benefit the people of the world, this is the pursuit of the world's scholars, Zichuan, you have such a talent at a young age, but you don't want to go out of the career?" Although your identity is a little embarrassing, but you do have real talent to learn, every time I talk to Bi Lao about your words, I think about it, but I have a taste. ”
The three of them were slightly drunk, and they talked about brothers, and they didn't distinguish between the elder and the inferior.
Although there is the existence of the Turkic royal court and the Great Yuan Dynasty, and there was the humiliation of the Heishui Alliance ten years ago, but since then, the Great Xia Dynasty has transferred the Weihu Army to the north, and built a defense line from the Liao River to Zhen'an and Hebei, and the Ningshan General's Mansion in the rear has been greatly enhanced.
"Hehe, forget about those, if I am made an official or something, I will take my wife away and fly away, trying to be clean and comfortable." Jiang Ning quipped.
This is already the second time in a row that I have shown my attitude in a conversation.
Seeing this, the second elder didn't say anything, and occasionally talked about the situation in the party and the dynasty, and Jiang Ning was just a listener.
The crescent moon still follows Jiang Ning every day, and after delivering food at noon, he came back with Jiang Ning, but Wang Ruoyan has been a lot busy in the past two months, often going to bed after midnight, and getting up early in the morning, saying that the shopkeepers from all over the country will come to collect the accounts immediately, and when the time comes, the dividends will be distributed at the end of the year, and they will be prepared in advance, and they will not be in a hurry at that time, only Xing'er has been busy with Wang Ruoyan in some business matters.
Occasionally, Jiang Ning will also inquire about some martial arts secrets and the like, the Wang family also has its own nursing home, Jiang Ning has also seen their daily exercises, at best, it is just to strengthen the body, and it is okay to deal with ordinary people, if you really encounter the enemy, I am afraid that you can only resist for a while.
If you can have a heart or martial arts, it is the best, the dream of martial arts has been done, I have read Jin Yong's ancient dragon Liang Yusheng since I was a child, and I know a lot of various martial arts cheats, Buddhism and Taoism, the battle between good and evil.
But this kind of thing is not easy to find, unless you find a master to guide you, and he is a scholar, when he proposed this idea, he was strongly opposed by the three women in the family.
"Uncle...... Scholars practice martial arts? I don't think it...... Shame on you......"
"If my uncle doesn't think so, my young lady will think ...... too"
In the end, under the absolute negation of the three of them, Jiang Ning had no choice but to give up and press the idea of practicing martial arts, but after half a year of running, the system has improved significantly.
Since that day, Liu Sisi has closed the door, but he still gets up early and looks out of the window on the second floor to look down the street, Jiang Ning still insists on running every day.
"Perhaps, he didn't save me...... Or don't know I want to do business...... I will pass by here every day......" Liu Sisi pondered.
There were also a few times when she didn't open the door, but only opened the window on the second floor, but Jiang Ning didn't see it, she wanted to say hello, but by the time she made up her mind and spoke, Jiang Ning had already run over.
Jiang Ning didn't care too much about getting up early and Liu Sisi closing the door, just thinking that maybe something was wrong, or if there was someone who defected, how to leave and do what he had to do every day.
The purification of alcohol has been initially successful, and now the purified alcohol is sealed by him with a glass bottle, the next step is the alcohol lamp, if you want to make other things, the temperature of the kerosene lamp is obviously not enough, and it is extremely unstable, and the alcohol lamp solves this problem very well.
The crescent moon also followed Jiang Ning to the courtyard twice, at the beginning of the period was to watch Jiang Ning do something curious, and finally broke a glass container, only to withdraw stupidly, not daring to disturb Jiang Ning anymore, just taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard, two or three times, the courtyard is not as desolate as before.
In the past two months, Jiang Ning found a student, who was not good-looking, but he would come to the library every day, except for the closure of the library, basically the thunder could not move, Jiang Ning handed over the key to this person, because every time Jiang Ning arrived at the library, this person stood at the door.
The student's name is Wang Shi.
