After coming out of the woods, since it was noon, everyone led by Chen Luoyuan went to another courtyard at the foot of the mountain for dinner. It can be seen that Chen Luoyuan is also a person who loves beautiful scenery. This mountain forest occupies a large area in terms of personal industry, but several places of beautiful scenery have been developed. This courtyard is located on the other side of the mountain forest, hidden in the forest, facing a secluded stream in the west. When the upright mountains and flowers are flourishing, the surrounding scenery is pleasant. Ning Yi looked at it and couldn't help but envy.
But this is nothing to say, the further forward the civilization, the more amazing the pyramid structure of wealth. The Chen family has a strong background, but compared to Kang Xian, it is still nothing, seeing that Ning Yi likes it, the old man disagrees: "There are not many people, and the surrounding area is not connected, and it is a bit remote, which is not very convenient, and the price of land nearby. It's cheap, if you like it, well, that piece of wood over there seems to be mine..."
"Which one?"
"The two mountains are the same, and no one lives there. If there is no farming, the land is useless. I don't know which ones are, but there are quite a few. Do you like it? How about giving it to you?"
These days, if a real big landowner has an official relationship, the land under his hands is tens of thousands of mu or even hundreds of thousands of mu, which is even the area of arable land that can generate economic benefits. Naturally, Ning Yi didn't know how much property Kang Xian owned. He couldn't inquire about it or even guessed it. Maybe he didn't know it very well himself.
After the two said a few words, Ning Yi didn't need his land. In fact, he just thought that he could get a beautiful summer resort on a whim, but thinking about it carefully, this kind of business is not a stable industry at the moment. This is because there are many places in Jiangning that serve people and make people relax. In this world, there is no industrial pollution and no fast-paced way of life. There is no need for people to deliberately find places to escape. It's not that they can't make money at all, but it's basically a toss up, Ning Yi thinks about it, that's all.
Since the time is cold food, what everyone eats at noon is also a lot of snacks unique to the cold food festival carefully prepared by the Chen family, and they taste good. In the afternoon, when Chen Luoyuan took out a few colorful heads, it was poetry and songs again. At this time, the literary meeting became more formal. Ning Yi had never participated, but just watched the performances of the various brothel girls. This competition was quite a test, and it was a blessing for the eyes and ears.
A group of talented people swayed their literary talents, but no one paid attention to him. He and Yunzhu were also happy to relax. In fact, Ning Yi was also ready to write a poem or two when necessary. Cao Guan cherishes feathers and does not provoke easily. It is understandable that although Liu Qingdi seems to be quite unhappy with him, he is actually lacking in energy, and whether he will provoke or not is between the two. If he really wants to pull himself into the water, I didn't intend to give him a good look on my own side. On Zhou Bangyan's side, Ning Yi originally thought that these capital students would pull him off on the grounds of learning from each other, but he didn't know why, but he guessed wrong. Zhou Bangyan was kind, and Li Shishi had a complicated expression when facing him, but appear quiet.
So at the end, Liu Qingdi didn't talk to himself, and the students in the capital didn't say anything, which made him seem a little bored when he was ready. He didn't know that Fang Wenyang and others were prepared to discuss with him, but they were secretly suppressed by Li Shishi.
If it was an ordinary literary meeting, it would be fine, but this gathering was originally hyped by people like Pu Yangyi. The mood is hard to describe, I just feel that the horizontal and vertical comparisons are not good, even if there is only the heart of Yiwen to meet friends, under such circumstances, if we can not compare, it is better not to compare. In addition to the silence of Zhou Bangyan during the period, in the end, it became such a situation. Ning Yi was left aside and neglected, and later was nagged by Kang Xian and others.
Except for the competition between Jiang Ning and Jing Shi, Jin'er didn't do anything out of the ordinary during the whole afternoon. In the morning, Liu Qingdi provoked her, but at this time she seemed to have forgotten. In the afternoon, I was with Yunzhu and talked about other people's poems or performances. Although she still spoke freely, it made Ning Yi feel that she had become a little quieter.
In fact, when Ning Yi was chatting with Yunzhu in the woods, Li Shishi and Zhou Bangyan were on one side, but Yuan Jin'er heard it from the other side. He hid in the grass and listened, and when he climbed out, he had to admit in his heart: " This guy really has a trick to pick up girls, I'm afraid I'm going to lose." She knew that Sister Yunzhu must be happy when she heard those lyrics, but she didn't want to go out to disturb, so she let them have a good day, anyway Yunzhu The most important thing is to be happy.
After one day, I wrote a crooked poem, but I never got famous, but I was still in a good mood. Ning Yi originally came out with Yunzhu to relax, but the goal has been achieved, and the rest are just floating clouds. On this day, I was walking home in the sunset. On the way, I was caught up by Li Shishi's carriage and said a few words such as choosing another day to gather.
A few days later, until Li Shishi left Jiangning, the two did not meet again. In fact, what Li Shishi said was sincere, but Ning Yi took it as a courtesy. After that, even if he received any invitation to a banquet, he would just do it as a routine and not see it, and Li Shishi would not be able to come to his house to find him. Until Li Shishi left, he couldn't help but wonder what the sentence after "Old Wing's cold and summer times" was.
The day before the Qingming Festival, Su Tan'er accompanied Ning Yi back to the old house for one night, and worshipped the ancestors of the Ning family. After that, the Su family was busy for the Qingming Festival, but Ning Yi was free. After the Qingming Festival, I met with the two brothers of the Qin family once or twice, and even fought with that Xu Xiaohu once, and it was a complete defeat. The two then exchanged and exchanged some knowledge of joint skills. The other party was very interested and had a great conversation.
Xu Xiaohu also taught him the basic eight Vajra Forms of Baziquan, and then he said that if he really faced the enemy, he didn't need to use Baziquan or any other unfamiliar boxing techniques. These, it doesn't matter if the rest are routines to learn, start with the most familiar ones, and if you play a lot, you will be able to do everything. This is similar to what Lu Hongti said when he left, but Ning Yi thinks that he is afraid that he will not have too many opportunities to "fight". Although he has also learned internal skills, he is afraid that he will eventually miss the first-class master in this life.
Of course, this body is only in his early twenties now, and who can tell what will happen in the future.
After the Qingming Festival, Li Shishi and a group of students from the capital left, Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian also left Jiangning one after another, and the days returned to their original rhythms. During the day, they gave lectures, watched, did experiments, chatted with Yunzhu, and flirted with Yuan Jiner. , playing backgammon with Xiaochan, or listening to Su Tan’er talking about things in the field It is probably the most pleasant time of year in the weather. The temperature is suitable, neither too cold nor too hot. Jiangning is also peaceful. Every time I walk on the street, I can't help but give birth to the satisfaction that everyone has found happiness.
I thought that I would leave in April, but Su Tan'er had just taken over the big room, and it was not easy to let go of most of it to her father's side, but the trip was delayed for a while. Yunzhu is naturally happy that Ning Yi can stay for a while longer. She has a good relationship with the old Qin family now, and the two occasionally meet in Qin Mansion.
Ning Yi looked back and thought, it had only been two years since he came here. Some of the imprints on him from his past life have not faded away, but this period has really been the most leisurely two years. It was only at this time in the past two years that Mr. Qin set up a chess stall by the Qinhuai River, and he I often go to see that the small tea stall by the river is still there, but the chess stall can’t be set up. Qin Lao is also being watched by some people now, which can’t help but make people feel like a mountain rain is coming, and something is about to happen. feeling.
About the matter of Mr. Qin, at the end of last year, everyone was most concerned about it. It had been quiet for several years. Due to the rumors between Jin and Liao, the number of visitors suddenly increased. However, before and after the end of the year, the news of the peace talks between Jin and Liao came, and the situation was unclear, and the number of people who paid attention gradually began to decrease. Everyone will not forget the influence of the old man, but choose to wait and see quietly, waiting for the change.
Jin and Liao may not be able to fight again in the short term. Many people are thinking this way.
For these things, the old man did not open his mouth to talk about it. Ning Yi came here a few times, and he just chatted and played chess instead of the situation. Sometimes, the old man joked about the relationship between him and Yunzhu, and so on until one day at the end of April, The weather was cool, and the two played a game of chess in the Qin's yard. Yunzhu also came. She brought some food and drink from Zhuji and chatted with Yunniang in the backyard.
"Speaking of which, Liheng will go to Hangzhou soon, right?"
"Um."
"It's a little hot to start in May."
"Go by boat, go to Yangzhou first, and then go to Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"It's not bad to not get seasick." The old man smiled, and then dropped a child, "Speaking of which, when you return to Jiangning, I'm afraid I won't be able to live here anymore. This house... It is estimated that it will be idle."
Ning Yi was stunned for a while, then laughed: "After all, it's not a place to stay for a long time. Old Qin's mansion in the capital should be better than here, right?"
"Haha..." Probably because he was mentioned in a sentence, the old man laughed, and then, he was a little disappointed, "People are not grass and trees, and they can be ruthless. In eight years, I have done a good job and I will die here. ready."
"It's still early." Ning Yi smiled and picked up a chess piece in his hand. After a while, he raised his head and said, "A war?"
The old man nodded.
"It's a war."
In the afternoon of April, the sky was warm and the cool summer wind blew through the woods inside and outside the city, and the leaves rustled, and the sound was like a scroll that was flipping quickly, but no one could be seen. In the peaceful dialogue, the sky in the north has faintly smelled of blood...
