In all honesty, Yu Hezhong is quite happy to see Ning Yi again today.
The last time he found this childhood friend with Shishi, he still had some grudges in his heart, mainly because he knew that Shishi was a kind girl. If he met a stranger, he would treat him as kindly as he would, which would inevitably be a little tasteful. But after learning about Xiao Ning's current identity and the attitude of his teacher, this little worry disappeared, and his perception of Xiao Ning became a different situation.
This time, when he came back to Jiangning from Bianjing, he naturally wouldn't say that he was chasing Shishi, but he only wanted to go back to the place where he grew up when he was a child. But to tell the truth, his hometown was not in Jiangning. His father was an official and he ran everywhere. He was young at that time, and he didn't live in Jiangning for too long. In fact, he didn't have any close friends here. When I came back this time, except to accompany the teacher to recall the past and find the alley where he lived in the past, there is not much else to do. I can only treat it as a trip to Jiangning alone. After all, the teacher is also involuntarily now. In this situation, even if you are kind to yourself, it is actually impossible to spend too much time to accompany you. If you are in Beijing, it is such an occasional accompaniment that many dignitaries cannot ask for glory.
This time, the team of Fanlou went all the way to the south. Besides him, there were actually a few other young masters who were too idle. Needless to say, Zhou Bangyan, the great talent who pursued the most diligent pursuit of teachers, the rest such as Tang Weiyan, Xu Dongmo and other three or four people are either quite talented or learned, or they have a wealthy family background and have official relatives, so they can always follow the attitude of the second generation ancestor. In Bianjing, there are not so many jealous opponents. If you can seize the opportunity to get the first flower in the capital, you will naturally have a lot of face when you go back.
Yu and Zhongding looked down on these people. Zhou Bangyan is famous all over the capital, but in fact, he is in his thirties and almost forty. He committed some things last year and was dismissed, but it is said that it is not serious. People who know the inside story say that he can still be promoted. This is the way of being an official in the capital, ups and downs. When he had some free time, this time he also said that he would come to Jiangning to visit friends.
The rest, Tang Weiyan is the clan nephew of Tang Ke and Tang Qinsuo, the current minister of the household, and Xu Dongmo's family is also a famous family in Bianjing. These people are either powerful or talented, and they are better than poetry and money in Hezhong. Can't compare. However, his relationship with Shishi was an old friendship, and he didn't need to spend money. It was like family. This was different, so he felt that those people were really like dogs, drooling without image around Shishi's bones. .
The slander returns to the slander, and he can't change most of the situation. The teacher still has to accompany the gang of people who are vain and stubborn. Now that she has such a reputation and status, it is inevitable to accompany this person and that person. Yu Hezhong knew that Shishi didn't want to do this, because sometimes when they were together, he also saw Shishi smiling and sighing lonely: "What can I do? Brother Yu, Shishi is in such a situation now, saying that the scenery may be beautiful. It can be considered that many brothel women are envious and not envious, but in the future, even if they fall in love with someone, the freedom to redeem themselves and marry is probably gone, but it is not as good as in previous years when they came unnoticed..."
In fact, when Shishi was rarely unnoticed in the capital, she was praised as the top card of Fanlou at the age of fourteen, and her reputation has been on the rise since then. But Yu Hezhong understands the helplessness in her words. With her status, she is watched by all forces in the capital. Although the brothel woman is nothing but such a helpless identity, many intrigue and jealousy surround her. , Everyone pursued her for the sake of fame and face. Later, it became an obsession, and a prince in the Royal Palace said: "Master Li, I'm going to make a decision." Those who say such things are reasonable and unreasonable. There are quite a few. If she has been in the brothel, everyone will support her. If she really likes someone and wants to redeem herself and leave, the guy who has no status may not even be able to save his life.
This kind of discourse teacher only said it once, but watched him say it. Yu Hezhong felt that he could understand the bitterness. He privately felt that it was a unique tacit understanding between them, and the teacher was so weak. The woman, carrying so many things on her back, still forced a smile every day, even when she was with him, she only said something happy.
She is the No. 1 flower in the capital, with a noble temperament and a desire for freedom, but she can't help herself; and now he is only a student in his early twenties, and he has a pure relationship with this old acquaintance, but for a while there is no way to help her out of the sea of misery. Look, it's like the stories in the legend book, they are all working hard, and there will be a good ending one day.
The pressure on the teacher is much heavier than on his own side, and when he thinks about it this way, he feels more and more: the teacher is really a good girl.
These thoughts can only be kept silently in the bottom of my heart, no one can talk about it, this time back, he has no one to visit, no one can know the close relationship between him and his teacher, which makes his mind gradually a little bit Change. Today, he came over early in the morning for the outing. There was no one to say hello. He just watched the scholars who were rushing here. Many of them didn't have invitation cards at all. He thought they were all like dogs. For a moment, I suddenly felt a little warm in my heart.
He's here too. It's great. Seeing him alone, he should have come to join in the fun without an invitation. It doesn't matter. Everyone is an old friend. So he came over excitedly to say hello.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I didn't expect Brother Ning to come out for an outing. Uh, didn't you bring your family here?"
Yu Hezhong had a warm attitude and looked around with a smile, while Ning Yi was paying attention to the quarrel under the tree over there, and smiled and cupped his hands: "I didn't have any family here, I just made an appointment with two friends, and Brother Yu came too. It's a coincidence." Jin'er looked bad over there, but it didn't seem like she was in a bad way, but the brothel woman beside Liu Qingdi frowned, and it was probably this woman who provoked the first challenge. It was kicked to the iron plate. And Yunzhu just stood there, looking coldly at the three men and one woman in front of him.
It was his own people who were provoked, so Ning Yi was going to help in the quarrel, saying a few sarcastic words to make Liu Qingdi mad, but he didn't care much about Yu Hezhong beside him. However, when Yu Hezhong looked over there, he became interested: "Ah, that is... the one named Liu Qingdi?"
"You know brother Yu?"
"Heh, I was introduced a few days ago. It is said that he is the leading young literati in Jiangning. Brother Ning actually knows him?" I don't care too much, but this Liu Qingdi was most likely invited by Chen Luoyuan. If Xiaoning beside him had an appointment with Liu Qingdi, maybe he also had an invitation, Yu Hezhong couldn't help but look at Ning Yi a few more times.
Ning Yi shook his head: "Not very familiar."
While they were talking, they had already moved over there. The quarrel under the big tree seemed to have come to an end. Liu Qingdi also seemed to see Ning Yi walking over, his face sank, and then he said a few words and turned away with a few companions. Yunzhu also talked a few words, then turned and walked to the other side. Afterwards, Jin'er turned her head and saw Ning Yi. She tilted her head and blinked.
Ning Yi was about to say hello when he saw Jin'er's cheeks bulging, then pressed his hands to his face, stuck out his tongue and made a face at him, then turned his head to talk to Yunzhu, pushed Yunzhu with a smile and left .
In the woods on the other side, Liu Qingdi looked back and saw Jin'er's movements. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly from the distance, he could still feel his unhappiness. Then he stopped and moved towards Ning Yi. Looking over, he raised his head and cupped his hands from a distance. Although it is a salute, the connotation of arrogance and provocation is very obvious, which basically means: "I see that you are unhappy." After arching his hands, he turned around and left.
Ning Yi was a little helpless to these childish behaviors. Jin'er's side and Liu Qingdi's side were almost the same. He walked under the tree where no one was gathered, shrugged a little bored, and breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Hezhong followed, but he didn't understand what was going on in the scene just now. His attention was on Liu Qingdi. He saw Liu Qingdi's movements, but he didn't see Jin'er's grimace. Yi's helpless expression of "everything is gone" made it possible to "understand" what happened.
Xiao Ning joined the family of merchants. Even if he has some knowledge, this kind of person is not considered by anyone. He just said that he had made an appointment with Liu Qingdi. Most of it was wishful thinking or put money on his face. I don't give you face. But it doesn't matter. At this moment, Yu Hezhong will not look down on him. He is a family of merchants and a son-in-law. This status is already very pitiful. The feeling of wanting to go to a higher place is understandable. It is also sympathetic to not be accepted. As an old friend, he doesn't look down on people.
Yu Hezhong smiled: "Hehe, as I said, that Liu Qingdi is actually not very good, Xiao Ning, he went to Bianjing, only to know what it means to be full of talents, the world's heroes gather in the capital, He looked very arrogant just now, and it can be seen that his temperament and personality are nothing more than that... Oh, by the way, Xiao Ning is here today for the party held by Chen Luoyuan over there, right?"
In the distance, Yunzhu, who was pushed by Jin'er to the side of the field of vision, also found him, waved his hand, and then probably was entangled by Jin'er again. Pulled out. Ning Yi laughed: "Brother Yu too?"
"Exactly, does Xiaoning have an invitation?"
"Have."
Ning Yi nodded, but Yu Hezhong was a little stunned. He originally thought that Xiao Ning didn't have an invitation, and then smiled: "This invitation is not easy to get. Brother Ning is also related."
"Heh, get to know someone named Pu Yang Yi and bring one."
"Could it be the Puyang family known as the richest man in Jiangning?"
Ning Yi nodded, and Yu Hezhong also said "oh", he glanced at Ning Yi with a strange expression, but finally said nothing. In fact, I was thinking that Xiao Ning was in a businessman's family, so he could only get an invitation through this way. After all, this kind of business is not very good, and there is no need to mention it, so as not to get hurt his heart.
So Yu Hezhong smiled thoughtfully: "However, I don't have an invitation."
"Um?"
"Even if there is no invitation, I can also go in today, Xiaoning will come with me, haha... I will give you a surprise later."
He waved his hand, turned and walked forward, smiling mysteriously and kindly.
************
I recommend two books, one is called "They Said I'm a Swordsman", I read the book first, and to be honest, I think it's great, very yy, very smooth, very evil, and very h^_^, this book already has Nearly a million words, if you like it, it is definitely a great enjoyment.
The second book is called "The Great Scientist of Rebirth". It is a book about education from rebirth to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The author's skills in liberal arts and sciences are very deep, smooth, and without losing the flavor of the times. I like it very much.
Neither of the two is a friendly push. I have been following the two books that I have read very well recently.
