son-in-law

Chapter 215 Chapter 208

Chapter 215 Chapter [-]

Sending Shi Changqi out of the entrance of Taiping Lane, Ning Yi stood under the plane tree at the intersection and watched the scene of martial arts training in Liu's Martial Arts Hall for a while.

It was the second time for Shi Changqi to send him away. The first time was yesterday. Because Ning Yi and Su Tan'er went out in the morning, the other party waited until the afternoon. Ning Yi and others had lunch in the restaurant before returning home. .This person is sincere, and it seems that he is quite a gentleman, and Ning Yi is willing to make friends.

Leaving aside the poetry and asking for advice, when Ning Yi had no malice and was kind to others, he had a good chat this afternoon. At that time, when Chang Qi said goodbye, he said that he would come to visit in a few days, but he rushed over this afternoon. I don't know where I heard about Ning Yi's identity as a son-in-law, so I hurried over to ask for confirmation.

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 both at home. When Shi Changqi came, Su Tan'er had some business in the shop and went out.The other party greeted a few words, and then asked straight to the point whether Ning Yi was married, which made Ning Yi a little surprised, and then naturally readily admitted that the other party's emotions became anxious, and asked Ning Yi if he had any difficulties in the past, and said cryptically Men of my generation should have great ambitions, and no matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, they should not abandon their family and join the family. This vague expression has no effect afterward, and then strengthened the tone.

Ning Yi looks like he is only in his early twenties now. Although his temperament is calm, it is actually difficult for his young face to form an overall persuasive and oppressive feeling.Shi Changqi's age is 26. He originally came to visit because he heard about Ning Yi's reputation in Jiangning, but since he came to the door, since he talked speculatively, he obviously had a feeling of supporting and caring for the younger generation. At this time, he was depressed. Let go of the talk, Ning Yi only made a statement, and he was a little annoyed by the response without defense.

At your age, you have abandoned your ancestors to join a merchant's family, and you have not regretted it at all. As a scholar, how can you be like this...

Shi Changqi's attitude gradually became severe, Ning Yi listened for a while, and then asked with a smile: "What happened to Brother Shi today?"

After asking this sentence, Shi Changqi was slightly conscious, but then he was still a little unwilling: "In any case, such things are...unwise, a family of merchants, seeking wealth and profit, this is one of them, and I would rather My brother's wife actually shows up in public every day, I'll wait..."

"Brother Shi." Ning Yi interrupted him with a smile, "Brother Shi came here today to persuade me to separate from my wife?"

"...No such intention, just..."

Ning Yi waved his hand: "Family affairs are just trivial things, and there is no need to be humane, but brother Shi is enthusiastic, and I am also grateful. Zhuo Jing is an excellent person. We have been married for two years, and the relationship is not bad. She respects me and I like it too. She. Regardless of the past, if you want to be a family member, many things are involved. These things are extremely troublesome, and the final result is just to hurt the feelings of the whole family. I don't know how Brother Shi thinks about it, but to me, the family The relationship between them is extremely important. What do you think, bro?"

Ning Yi is used to seeing all kinds of things, and he is not angry at the sudden enthusiasm of the scholar in front of him. Even if there is a bit of surprise, he is not very interested in exploring it.At this time, Mian li secretly pushed, and soon after, he sent the other party who had nothing to say out of the alley.

Human nature is complicated, and Ning Yi has always understood that when he first arrived, he didn't have much feeling for the scholarly spirit of this era. He didn't hate it, disagree with it, and didn't bother to care about it. After all, he had no yearning for this era before, so he didn't need to find any resonance.Over the past two years, because he lives here, he can appreciate the atmosphere and atmosphere of this era, just like Chang Qi at this time, some things he insisted on are always worth appreciating. Of course, after appreciating, Laugh it off.

It was a cloudy day at this time, the clouds in the sky covered the scorching sun, 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 was watching outside the door, and several people who practiced swords in the martial arts hall occasionally looked at him, but they knew that he was a resident in this alley, and they were used to his occasional onlookers.

In fact, the sword skills taught in the Liu's Martial Arts Hall are not very advanced. These days, without the cultivation of people like Lu Hongti, they wouldn't be much interesting to watch.Ning Yi looked at it for a while, and was about to leave when a carriage came across the road and opened the curtain beside Ning Yi.

"Brother-in-law."

In the carriage are Lou Shuwan and her maid, A Guo.Although Lou Shuwan looked down on Ning Yi when we first met, but later in the process of getting along with Ning Yi and Su Tan'er and his wife, this woman's attitude was clean and cheerful, not restrained, but she also had the ability to be a good family. The propriety of a woman, at this time, with a small round fan in her hand, she looked to the other side of the road.

"That person earlier was Shi Changqi, did my brother-in-law know him?"

"Not very familiar, is he famous?"

"It is well-known in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

"Oh." Ning Yi nodded, and looked at Lou Shuwan thoughtfully, but Lou Shuwan didn't say much about this topic: "Is Tan'er sister at home?"

"I went to the shop earlier, I'm afraid it will take a while to come back. Go ahead and sit down for a while."

"Oh, that's it..." Lou Shuwan thought about it, then shook her head, "I can't do it, I'm just passing by, and I have some things to do later, brother-in-law can say hello to sister Tan'er for me."

"it is good."

After saying this, they chatted a few more words, Lou Shuwan put down the car curtain, and Ning Yi turned to go home.The carriage passed the road here, and in the carriage, Lou Shuwan already had another kind of indifferent expression.The little maid Guo'er said softly: "Miss, did you just take a look when you came here?"

Lou Shuwan smiled: "I just took a look at it casually. I just saw Shi Changqi leave. What else do I need to look at?"

"But I don't know how they are arguing..."

"Where is it really going to be a quarrel? When Shi Changqi left, his face was sullen, but obviously he didn't finish his sentence or it was useless. My brother-in-law is really interesting, and he can still send people all the way to the intersection. It's already After seeing so much, what do you know, little girl...don't bother me."

Lou Shuwan closed her eyes and thought about these things, the little girl shut her mouth knowingly, the carriage drove all the way in Hangzhou city, and returned to Lou's house not long after.The master and the servant got out of the car and went to a yard near the side door. After entering, Lou Shuwan directly pushed open the closed door in the yard. A disheveled man in the room was flirting with the maid. Seeing her coming in, he restrained himself and hurriedly buttoned his coat, but it was Lou Shuwan's second brother Lou Shuheng.

"how?"

"I went to Tan'er to check. Shi Changqi really went to my brother-in-law for verification. He seems to be in a bad mood."

"Oh? Tell me, tell me..."

Lou Shuheng is a man with a lot of money and a lot of money. He has a lot of life every day and night, and he actually only gets up at this time. At this time, he is tidying up and washing up, and his face is full of energy. Lou Shuwan talked about the scene he happened to see, his expression Only a little disappointed: "Oh, I just saw Shi Changqi leave..."

"Brother-in-law sent him out with a calm expression, but Shi Changqi's complexion was very grim, he hesitated to speak with an expression of resignation, you just taunt him in the future, there is no need to be disappointed."

"It's nothing." Lou Shuheng curled his lips, "But from what you said, my brother-in-law is a good man."

"It's not cultivation, it's not simple."

"It's not easy for a married person." Lou Shuheng straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror on the table, "I said he was the number one talented person in Jiangning. I met him a few times, but I didn't feel it at all. It's not that simple, I wonder if Sister Tan'er promoted him on purpose, didn't she just write a few poems..."

"I heard from Su Wending and Su Wenfang that when the Su family had problems, Tan'er and sister fell ill, and Tan'er and sister's father was assassinated, it was he who made a sudden move to turn the tide. How powerful the scholar is."

"That said, what else has he done besides following women's buttocks for more than a month? Why did he try to turn the tide? Maybe it was Su Tan'er's intentional plan. At best, he would hide his clumsiness. As for self-cultivation, I can't do much anyway... Isn't my brother-in-law self-cultivation very good?"

Lou Shuwan frowned: "You get angry when you get up, just talk and don't get involved in me."

"I'm……"

Lou Shuheng turned around to defend himself, but with a bang, Lou Shuwan slapped the table. After a moment, she took a breath and sneered: "A few days ago, my father said that he wanted you to marry the Su family. Afterwards, I see that you have taken a lot of heart towards Sister Tan'er, and you even have something wrong with Su's brother-in-law. Hmph, I can see clearly today..."

Lou Shuheng stood upright there, with his back to her, and turned his head after a while: "I have a crush on her, how is it? She is pretty good, and having a crush on her doesn't mean I want to do anything. I feel sorry for her. Is it worth it, you are my sister and I am not worth it for you, why should a man marry if he has the ability... You appreciate him, or let him marry into our house..."

"Lou Shuheng, you are full of shit!" Lou Shuwan cursed, and then said: "Get out."

After speaking, he turned and left.

*******************

The brothers and sisters of the Lou family here lost their temper for no reason, while Shi Changqi over there was actually quite depressed.Lou Shuwan went to Taiping Lane to check the situation, but it was not because of Ning Yi, but mainly because of him.

He ran to pay a visit to Ning Yi, originally with sincerity, because Qian Xiwen had a high evaluation of Ning Yi's poems, and said that he had met once recently, and his evaluation of him was also good. After a visit, the impression was quite good. it is good.That night at the brothel party, he casually mentioned the meeting, saying that Jiangning's top talent came to Hangzhou, he had already met him, and had a great time talking with him, the other party was open-minded and elegant, and so on.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The underworld is for face, and so is the literary world, especially at parties in brothels and in front of women.Shi Changqi's literary talent is very good. Since his poems and essays were completed, he was often sought after. He is also a person who cares about face. He made this friend, and the other party has strength, so he naturally complimented him with embellishments.The problem is that the exaggeration is too high to get down.

Suzhou and Hangzhou have the regional culture of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and they are both poets. Everyone is somewhat displeased with Shi Changqi's behavior of saying such a good thing about a Jiangning native. Shi Changqi also understands, but Ning Yi's previous poems are there. With confidence, the other party can also see the gap.If you want to recommend someone to come to ask for advice when you are passionate, you have to think about it in advance.Ning Yi has been in Hangzhou for more than a month, but he has never seen anyone in this group of scholars. They know each other and do not know each other. Everyone hesitated for a while, but it happened that Lou Shuheng was among them at that time. It was almost time before he came out to speak.

That guy is a married woman.

The family is still a businessman.

I've been talking about business with women for more than a month, and it's all women talking...

Lou Shuheng is a formidable person on weekdays, when he handles things well, he speaks just the right words, Shi Changqi is talking happily, he treats this matter as throwing out, just blocking the other party's room to turn around.You say that you know a friend who is so powerful, so exaggerated, and you are so happy, but he is married, do you know...

As soon as he broke the news, everyone was also happy and booed together.Shi Changqi blushed at that moment: "Impossible, how could this happen, how would you know, you are talking nonsense!" Two days must expose his lies and so on.Shi Changqi knew that Ning Yi would only be at home in the afternoon, but he met a few people in the morning and was provoked, so he hurried to Taiping Lane to verify, and Lou Shuwan just learned from others I heard this anecdote from my mouth, so I just came over to take a look.

After asking for proof, Shi Changqi was also a little confused.Originally, if he knew about this when he was calm, he would at most feel strange, even if he felt that the other party should not be like this, he would not come to the door to point fingers.This time, he was going to be a laughing stock, and he was a little absent-minded when he visited the teacher at night. He didn't know whether Qian Xiwen knew about this matter, and what his attitude was, so he couldn't say much, but Qian Xiwen saw that he had something wrong at the first time. Concerned, he thought for a while and asked, "Chang Qi, how did you go to visit Ning Liheng yesterday?"

Qian Xiwen thought that Ning Yi was stunning, so he showed his hand and shocked his disciple.Although there is no first in writing, but with the other party's poetic talent, I'm afraid it can still be done.In the end, Shi Changqi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "...But, teacher, Ning Liheng is actually the one who married, and he married a merchant's house. The student really thinks that this person... this person..."

He couldn't describe it for a while, Qian Xiwen frowned: "Riding in? What's getting in?"

Only then did Shi Changqi explain the matter in detail. After Qian Xiwen listened, he just frowned and thought for a while, without expressing his opinion. Not long after, he sent Shi Changqi away and called the old housekeeper who had been with him all along.

"Qian Yu, have you heard about Ning Yi?"

The old butler thought for a while, then nodded: "Old servant... I have indeed heard about it before."

"Oh?"

"I heard that he has been in Hangzhou for more than a month, and he has not visited any literary talents, nor participated in any literary conferences. Although he has some relationship with the Lou family, it seems that his contacts are not close. His wife's family runs a cloth business. , In the past month, he has only accompanied his wife to visit some merchants, or played alone, and it seems that he has no intention of making friends through literature and showing his reputation."

"No wonder..." Qian Xiwen nodded, "I was still wondering why I haven't heard his name mentioned by others after he's been here for a long time..."

"This person really doesn't look like a great talent. In addition, when I was young master, this old slave also heard something this morning. It seems... Shigong was still praising Ning in Zuihe Tower last night... ..."

Qian Yu explained what happened last night in detail, and Qian Xiwen laughed, shaking his head while thinking, and after a long while, he looked outside the door and said, "The news came at the beginning of the month." Yes, Qian Yu, you also know..."

"Ok?"

"Qin Yuyuan entered the capital, and now he has returned to the right. In today's world, under two people, above ten thousand people. I thought about it. When Ning Liheng went south, he was already preparing to go to Beijing. At this time, he still To be able to write this letter, in which I am asked to take good care of this Ning Liheng... Although the words are simple, the meaning is hard to say..."

"It seems that this Ning Liheng is a disciple of the Qin family?"

"If it's an ordinary disciple of the Qin family, as the Duke of Qin, how could he write the word Zhaofu for him." Qian Xiwen thought for a while, then laughed incredulously, and shook his head, "Oh, he... shouldn't be Qin If he is a disciple of the Qin family, he will be so favored by the other party even if he is married, heh, this person... will not be simple, but I can't figure it out for a while..."

Qian Yu looked at him caressing his forehead and said, "Do you want to invite him over to the house?"

"No, I've been deliberate in going over to the house." Qian Xiwen waved his hand, "I haven't contacted you for more than a month. After a few days of the beginning of autumn, there will be a poetry meeting in Xiaoyingzhou. You can write a post and send it to me as a famous assassin. Invite... ...Invite his family to go and play."

"Yes."
