Although he has a peaceful attitude in his dealings on weekdays, in truth, Lao Qin is a person who does big things, and those who do big things should be bold. Although he is also quite emotional, he doesn't believe in any friends like siblings and wives like clothes, but when it comes to his attitude towards women, the old man still has the common characteristics of men in this era. He is not so superficial that he thinks that women have no temper. But to be serious, it's not something that requires too much effort for the mere two women.
He was a little disapproving of Ning Yi's character only, but of course, he had to add it to the odd part of the other's character in the end.
For this private banquet, on the one hand, he asked Yunniang to invite Yunzhu, but he never told Ning Yi, and on the other hand, he invited Ning Yi, but he never told Yunzhu. After all, the reason for his invitation was very sufficient. That day in Zhuji, Ning Yi saved his life, and Yunzhu and Jin'er also contributed. It doesn't matter that they are so close. In fact, it was used to tie the two sides together.
The moment Yunzhu saw Ning Yi, she naturally understood that the person she liked would be embarrassed, and she smiled a little playfully, but after that, she didn't show any special expression anymore. trouble. Old Qin just smiled at this at first, but didn't interfere later.
The next banquet was divided between men and women. It is said that Yuan Jiner was more lively and chatted with Su Taner about business affairs. She wanted to become a strong woman, so she did not hesitate to learn from real strong women. Taner asked about her opening a shop The situation, but also really gave her some ideas, and the two talked very happily.
On Ning Yi's side, Qin Shaoqian said something about the military camp, and then asked about the outing party that will be held in two days. When he mentioned Li Shishi and Fanlou, he laughed: "I am familiar with Fanlou, that Li Shishi? , I've seen it too, let's go see her together when the time comes."
Qin Shaohe became puzzled: "You have been to Fanlou a lot, but Master Li has only come out in the past few years, so how do you know him."
"Cough, I went to Bianjing the year before last, and found a bunch of friends from the past to get together. They said that the girl Shishi was the most famous, so they went to Fanlou. I haven't seen it yet, and I saw Gao Qiu's fake son bullying others. Doing things with a woman who sells melons and fruits. Lao Tzu... uh, me, what I hate the most is this kind of thing. There was an argument on the spot, and then everyone started fighting in the fan building. Qian's lackey is good at martial arts, I have to give him two punches."
At this time, besides the three fathers and sons of the Qin family, it was Ning Yi and Xu Xiaohu next to him. Qin Siyuan heard the young son talking about such a thing, put down his chopsticks, handed the bowl to the servant next to him to add rice, and frowned, "Nonsense. ." But between the words, there was not much blame. At this time, that Gao Qiu had already taken the post of Taiwei in Tokyo, but he was flattering and flattering the superior. Although he said that he was powerful in gaining power, he was not very popular among the high-level civil servants and military generals. Although Qin Siyuan said nonsense, Words, but it seems that Gao Qiu is not considered too strong.
Qin Shaoqian naturally understood his father's temperament, and spread his hands: "How can there be nonsense, you can't see it like this, we used to make trouble in Bianjing, and we only fought with those gangsters and gangsters who bullied the market. Just do it. Dad, you haven’t been to Bianjing for a long time. I don’t know how smoky the second ancestors have made over there. I left a few months ago the year before, and I heard that there was a trainer named Lin in the Gaoya Nei General’s Imperial Army. into sin, and later…”
He paused: "Hey, later this coach Lin's wife died in Gaoya's room, and Coach Lin was assigned. Last year, I heard that it was the other way around and went to Liangshan. Damn... Find someone on Bianjing Street to ask. , 8 out of 10 know what's going on, but unfortunately I haven't heard of him doing too much evil at that time, otherwise even if Lu Qian and Uncle Geng stop me, I'll draw a knife and chop him up..."
Qin Siyuan raised his head and glanced at him: "Xidao is there too?" Geng Xidao was Geng Nanzhong.
Qin Shaoqian nodded: "Well, Uncle Geng asked me to ask Daddy hello. He came out to be a peacemaker, we can only give him face, and Li's mother from Fanlou also came out with the teacher girl to persuade him to fight, and then everyone found a flower hall to sit down. , On our side, on the other side of the guys surnamed Gao, the teacher girl played and sang in the middle, and it didn't make any sense at all... and broke up unhappily."
After he finished speaking, he shrugged, buried his bearded face in the bowl and started to cook the rice. The rest of them laughed, Qin Siyuan nodded, "Xidao and peace are always quite a set."
Afterwards, everyone talked about some messy things, and when it came to Xu Xiaohu, it was only known that this young man was also a real martial arts master, who had practiced the real excellent internal skills. Qin Shaoqian has no experience in this area, and he fights a lot because of his bravery. Qin Siyuan laughed and talked about Ning Yi's longing for martial arts in the past, and then of course Ning Yi couldn't avoid saying something like "Looking up for a long time, the next person is called bloody slaughter" to Xu Xiaohu.
According to Qin Shaoqian, Xu Xiaohu's martial arts are fierce, and he is best at Ba Ziquan and Bai Yuan Tongji, but his character is very simple and even a little shy. Ning Yi had practiced kung fu for so long, and it happened that he had a lot of questions about martial arts. When he asked, Xu Xiaohu knew everything, but after arriving, it was probably similar to what Lu Hong mentioned. Wushu was played after all. If you practice too many routines, you won’t get to the point where you don’t get the idea and you move first. After all, it doesn’t make much sense. That is to say, the most important thing is to form a conditioned reflex.
After this meal is over, it can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
Another day passed, and it was time for the outing. This is still two days before the Qingming Festival. It was called Cold Food in ancient times, and it was set up to commemorate the push of the Spring and Autumn Period. Before the Three Kingdoms, people did not open fire for a month before and after the cold food, and all ate cold food. Later, because this month often made it difficult for the old and weak to survive, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu abolished the custom of eating cold food. , The Cold Food Festival outing to the ancestors, moved for two more days, and put it together with Qingming.
The weather was good that day, there was fog in the morning, but it disappeared after sunrise. In front of the small building on the banks of the Qinhuai River, Yunzhu and Jin'er dressed up in men's clothes, and each took a fan and was about to go out.
At this time, the spring breeze is warm, the clouds stretching in the sky are like white dragons flying, and the willows on the Qinhuai River are green. On the road to the suburbs, you can often see a family in twos and threes happily traveling in clean and tidy clothes. Children are holding the hands of adults, swaying and elated.
Today, there seem to be more people traveling like this than in the past. On the Qinhuai River, you can occasionally see one or two painting boats heading out of the city. They also seem a little too much. The selected place for the outing held by Chen Luoyuan today is also near Bailuzhou outside Jiangning City.
In the past few years, Yunzhu has never gone out for a green trip like this. In the early years, he only had such an opportunity when he was in Jinfeng Tower. At that time, he went out for a trip, not for himself. In the first two years of her redemption, she enjoyed the feeling of freedom, but she seldom went out. It was as if she had returned to the old lady of the official family who was afraid of seeing outsiders. Later, she started selling preserved eggs, and it was only a necessary business. She is more comfortable staying at home, and she still has a traditional and conservative temperament. As a woman, if she wants to go out and play like this, she always feels that she has to walk with her family. She followed her parents when she was a child, but she can only follow her husband in the future, so Ning Yi called her out like this, She was happy in her heart and dressed as a man, but she couldn't help being a little nervous.
"I'm a little nervous." After slightly arranging the corners of her clothes, she walked on the road, turned her head and said to Jin'er. As Jin'er was walking, she unfolded her folding fan to fan herself. Hearing this, she shrugged: "What are you nervous about, come on, Sister Yunzhu, take my hand and go."
Yunzhu smiled and said, "I am the same as you now, so what is there to hold back?"
The place where the two originally made an appointment with Ning Yi was near Bailuzhou. At this time, they chatted and laughed for a while, and when they arrived near the gate of Decheng, they took the car and went all the way to Stone City.
Ning Yi only regarded today's outing as a concert, so he was not in a hurry. Before leaving the city, he went to Yushan Academy to arrange some homework. When he arrived at the agreed place, there were already many outings on the banks of the river near Bailuzhou. people.
The Bailuzhou at this time is actually not in the same location as the later Nanjing Bailuzhou Park. The Bailuzhou at this time is also the original site of Li Bai's poem "Three mountains are half-falling outside the blue sky, and the two waters divide Bailuzhou". It is located in Stone City There is a sandbar in the outer Yangtze River, which divides the Yangtze River into two. There are many reeds on the island, so egrets often gather. Later, when the Yangtze River is silted up, Bailuzhou is connected to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and later generations gradually disappear.
At this time, the scenery near Bailuzhou is very good, but the outing is not wild. There are also many kinds of outing activities in this spring. A family of three flying a kite in the wild is considered an outing, and a few people wandering around at random is also an outing. More formal, it is usually in the form of a literary meeting. A group of young scholars have won many famous literary stars or At the invitation of the senior officials of the scientific examination, the bigwigs asked a question in the mountains, and the literary meeting was temporarily prominent. It can also be called outing, such as the famous Lanting meeting of Wang Xizhi, Xie An and others in history. It's not a big problem to classify it as an outing party.
This time the outing party will not be too strict, but most of them are literati as the main participants. There are also many other merchants and officials, but they are naturally familiar with Chinese and ink. As the organizer, the great scholar Chen Luoyuan has a garden of his own here, and the location is naturally placed there, lest many idle people come to participate. But to be honest, there are quite a lot of literati who have not been invited to gather around here. Naturally, they will not say that they are here for Chen Luoyuan's party, but they might as well see if they can get in, or have more ideas. Yes, I am planning to organize a larger literary gathering here to suppress the limelight of Chen Luoyuan and Li Shishi.
In this way, when Ning Yi arrived, there were a lot of people on the riverside, and there were also some painting boats parked there, and probably the women among them were also invited to participate. Ning Yi made a general appointment with Yunzhu and Jin'er, and it took a while to find them. The two girls dressed up in men's clothes and put a lot of effort into it. Ning Yi didn't find them immediately. He was actually confronted there. The scene attracted the past. Several people stood under the tree, and it seemed that the atmosphere was very bad. On one side, it was naturally Yunzhu and Jin'er, and on the other side were three scholars and a brothel woman who seemed to be accompanying them. Among them, Ning Yi also knew one person, that was Liu Qingdi, a great talent who used to admire Jin'er very much and was mad when she saw Ning Yi's intimacy with her.
But now it seems that Liu Qingdi's face is a little arrogant, while Jin'er's expression is not hesitant, probably after Liu Qingdi found out that he couldn't get the girl on his hands, he had already started to rebel and decided not to give this girl a good face. Look, so there was an argument between the two sides...
Tsk, it's really ugly to pick up girls like this. Jin'er's attitude towards picking up Yunzhu is much better than his...
Ning Yi sighed in his heart and was about to go over when suddenly, a hand from behind reached out and grabbed his shoulder: "Brother Ning! Are you here too?"
In his tone, he was quite surprised.
Ning Yi looked back and saw that the surprised face behind him had indeed been seen before. When he saw the woman surnamed Wang the other day, what was the name of the attendant who followed her.
Ning Yi thought about it.
in and in.
