Remember []/manghuangji for you in a second.
"What kind of reading, isn't it that the teacher girl hasn't seen you before and met others when she comes back this time, and she said that it's not against Li Shishi. It's not the first time for this kind of thing, it's just jealous, hey, who is next door to you? Come when you are ready, don't squeeze the soft persimmon and hit the stone, it's not the first time, this kind of thing is not good, it's still in my place..."
In a peaceful and prosperous world, all kinds of things come and go, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Even if you live in a big city like Bianliang for a long time, you can roughly understand what happened when you see things in your eyes. As the owner of Bieyuan, a man with the identity of a viscount is not a high-profile person in Bianliang City. After all, in the capital, the princes are all wandering around the streets, and a viscount in his district has always been kind to others. This time I was pulled out of the city, and after a little questioning, I understood what happened.
He hadn't gone to his other garden for a long time, leaving only two or three servants to take care of it. The property next door is the property of Fanlou, so it's not because of the girls from Fanlou who are jealous. There are many sons and brothers in the city of Bianliang. There are many literati who pursue fame and fame, and there are rich and noble people with wealth and wealth who do not seek knowledge all their lives. They are full of energy. There are dozens of good-looking things happening in Bianliang City every day, which is not surprising. Dong Xiaoyuan was originally so-called, but when he was about to get to Bieyuan, he heard that Li Shishi was there today, so he retreated.
It's just an ordinary woman. It's gratifying to watch a play, and it's so called offended, but a few courtesans in Bianliang City... Why bother to participate in this kind of thing. Although he and Li Shishi are not familiar with each other, they have met several times and know that the other party has only recently returned from a foreign place. Before the Dragon Boat Festival. There must be many visitors, and she can only receive a few people. Obviously, they didn't get the chance to get close, so they ran over to provoke him, and wanted to look good on Li Shishi's guests.
The few people who ran over to borrow Bieyuan had some friendship in the past, but at this time they couldn't push it away, and he couldn't help feeling a little jealous. No matter what, it might not be interesting to him. If some of my friends fall for each other, it may make Li Shishi hate him, and if it is the other way around, the vision of such brothel women is often the highest. It was Zhou Bangyan who was entertaining over there. He became a villain on his side and was slapped in the face in vain. If the matter is said, can this house still live in the future.
Thinking about it like this, I felt a little depressed. The group of people opened the gate of Bieyuan, asked the servants to go in and take care of it, and then went to greet the others. Dong Xiaoyuan was too lazy to ask. On the one hand, I asked people to find out who came over there. On the one hand, I asked someone to prepare a carriage, and then I took myself out and talked about it. Such a passing moment. The servant came over and replied that the girl Shishi was entertaining the childhood friends of Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng.
"Yu Hezhong? Chen Sifeng? I seem to have heard of it. That's..." He thought for a while, then slumped his shoulders. He had heard in the past that when Shishi girls interacted with others, they were special to a few people, no? Because they are outstanding, but because they are old acquaintances. Wouldn't it be more troublesome now? If the other party is Zhou Bangyan, it's better to say, it is a fight between the literati for the favor of the teacher girl, running to lose the face of these people, isn't it directly hitting the teacher girl's face...
****************
In Dong Xiaoyuan's distress, the time went back a little, the white clouds drifted, and the shade gradually passed by in the city of Bianliang.
In Prince Chong's mansion, Zhou Pei sat on the stone bench under the tree, watching the dividing line between light and darkness pushed over from one side, and quickly spread across the place, the sunlight falling from the tree gap was a bit dazzling .
She didn't know what she was thinking. From last night to this morning, she hardly closed her eyes with peace of mind. The fact that she fell in love with a person and had to choose another person to marry in more than a month weighed on her. She didn't know how to choose. , but if you let go of this standard... she can't let it go.
Especially when she realized that she used Ning Yi as the standard of her liking, she also became more and more aware of the fact that she was gradually moving away from her teacher, and would quickly move away from her. Maybe it will be hard to see her from now on. After the thought of falling into a dead end, she blanked her head and pretended to be used to this fact.
Then Zhuo Yunfeng came to look for her, and she tried her best to become energetic. Zhuo Yunfeng didn't seem to notice her abnormality. He chatted with her here for a while, and then... still hesitantly asked questions.
"You know... where did Ning Liheng go today?"
"...Teacher?" Zhou Pei's mind was blank for a moment, but he didn't show it on his face, "I don't know."
She paused for a while, and finally said, "What's wrong?"
The voice was a little low, and Zhuo Yunfeng's expression was still hesitant, but finally, he tilted his head and took a breath: "He... I heard that he went to see Master Li outside the city, and then... "
Spots of light sprinkled from the gaps between the trees, and he told Zhou Pei what he had heard...
********************
"...Hezhong, you have met this Ning brother before, and the teacher keeps saying good things about him. How is he... how is he?"
The sun was shining, and in the tree-lined path here, Yu Hezhong walked side by side with Chen Sifeng, and Chen Sifeng also asked Yu Hezhong curious questions. Although they were not close friends with each other, in Bianliang City, there were still a lot of exchanges, and they were always more familiar than Ning Yi. Some things, after all, Ning Yi is not easy to ask, such as Ning Yi's status as a child, how did he learn, and does he have any background. If the identity of the other party is low, it would be too much to ask face-to-face, but there is still curiosity in the heart.
Yu Hezhong shook his head slightly complicatedly: "To be honest, my younger brother is not very clear. When he was in Jiangning, he couldn't see clearly. However, his status as a child is indeed true."
Once you have the status of being a member of the family, you will not be able to stick to fame and fortune. Now Yu Hezhong has joined the household department as an official. Although he is a knife and pen official, he is also quite promising. Chen Sifeng's status is higher. He has been serving as an eighth-rank master for several years in a county government near Bianliang. Now running for promotion. Now that this matter is confirmed, Ning Yi's image in the eyes of the two is somewhat similar to that of poor relatives in the countryside. There is no comparison, but they are kinder.
"According to the teacher, he is the number one talent in Jiangning. I also read those poems, which are really impressive. What's going on?"
"I don't know either, but just based on what Jiang Ning saw, this brother Ning's behavior is indeed quite different from that of ordinary literati. If you don't participate in poetry festivals, it's a bit strange to talk about poetry... There are indeed his poems in the local area for Taoist priests. I haven't looked into what she said, but I still don't know it. It's just that Brother Chen also knows that she has always been kind to others. It's hard to tell whether the words from Brother Ning are true or not..."
Yu Hezhong talked about this. Chen Sifeng couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. They are of course the clearest. Although Li Shishi is not going to kill people, but for friends. She has always been tolerant, similar to Chen Sifeng in Hezhong. If she has five points of talent, she will probably have to praise her with seven points, but she is careful not to let them get too pushy and embarrassing. Regarding the statements about Ning Yi in her mouth, it is not so much true, it is better that Li Shishi is willing to believe it is true.
Chen Sifeng smiled: "But these things are also closed to us. From Brother Ning's point of view, making friends is always bad."
Yu Hezhong nodded as well: "To be honest, since he came out with those few poems, he hasn't heard of any poems published in the past year or so... But what if it's true or not, it seems that he never thought about using This matter has been publicized everywhere. I have heard that the merchant's family can do all kinds of messy things to save face. I guess it may not be easy to talk about... Ning Yi was a child, you and I have seen it, huh, remember, He has been reading all day, and at this time, it seems that his appearance is very different... If it is true, it is not surprising... "
"That's it. I don't think it's necessarily fake."
In my heart, I already have a bit of intimacy with Ning Yi, and I want to be kind to others, so it's not unpleasant to talk to each other. The two of them were going to the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet, so they walked away from there. Since they were whispering something, they walked towards the front for half a circle. When they approached the main entrance, they heard a little noise outside. The two went out to take a look and saw The noise came from the other garden next door, and it seemed that a party was also going to be held. Just as I was going back, I saw a man in Chinese clothes looking over at a carriage on the side of the road not far away. The man was twenty-five or six years old, with a small beard under his jaw, and his eyes were kind-hearted. , The temperament is also quite calm, holding a folding fan, came over with a smile.
"Brother Yu, Brother Chen, what a coincidence."
This person is not an official, but he must be a son of a wealthy and noble person. Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng did not have much impression of him, and the person then introduced himself: "Dong Xiaoyuan, the Chongyang Poetry Club a few years ago, and the two former There was a relationship."
He did not introduce his family background, but after saying this, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng naturally knew how to deal with it. They had the pleasure of meeting each other for a while, and asked each other with a smile if they wanted to hold a party next door. That Dong Xiaoyuan shook his head and said: "Someone wants to come, but it's not what I'm doing here." He lowered his voice, "I take the liberty to ask, can everyone be in there?"
Yu Hezhong was slightly stunned, while Chen Sifeng frowned. After Yu Hezhong gave an affirmative answer, Dong Xiaoyuan's eyes were solemn, and at the same time he showed the expression of "everyone understands": "Don't hide the two, I'm afraid that the teacher girl came here to meet your friends and was caught by I went out through the wind, and then for some reason, people misunderstood... "
He roughly finished talking about what happened next, and smiled and cupped his hands: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Everyone knows what to do, so it doesn't matter... I have something important to do in the city, so I'll leave first, please two of you replace me. Say hello to the teacher girl."
Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng looked at each other with a wry smile, then handed farewell to each other, and watched Dong Xiaoyuan get on the carriage and leave.
This kind of thing is really not the first time for them and Shishi to see and meet them. It's really a little annoying, but... there really isn't much to be nervous about. I believe it will be resolved soon...
****************
Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng thought so in their hearts, and Dong Xiaoyuan naturally thought so too. After tipping off the news, he returned to the city in a carriage. No matter what, he had already sold Li Shishi a favor. If he met him in Fanlou in the future, maybe he would still be favored one or two times, which is good. Thinking like this, a few carriages passed him a short distance away. He looked curiously. Then he was slightly taken aback.
The scenery here is good. Several villages are connected together. The houses are dotted in the middle, which is a village pattern. The surrounding is the forest surrounding the village. His friends are naturally welcoming people on the road. In this way, we got to the end of the woods at the entrance of the village. He stopped the carriage and greeted a friend under the shade of the tree, who was a little strange: "Xiao Yuan, where are you going?"
"I want to ask you guys, who are you inviting?"
"Then it's not very clear, the time is a little rushed. I've invited everyone who can, and I don't know who can come. The third lady who passed by the Marquis of Huaiming just now... Next, there's Qing from Prince Chong's Mansion. The county owner, Fang Wenyang, several seniors from Junwen Club, oh, and Yu Shaoyuan, who recently became famous in the "Wang Dao Fu", Ji Wanqing from Listening to Yanju, and a few girls from Xiaozhufang and Fanlou …”
"Ji Wanqing, you all invited... What are you doing with so many people... "
"Hey. I told you. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone sees that the weather is good today. I came out to play, go out, recite poetry and compose poems. I just chose this place. Xiaoyuan, Mr. Xiaoyuan, how can you go, you go now Now, we don't have any face at all, just stay and watch the fun together..."
"Don't be kidding... You guys don't really just come out for an outing..."
Having said that, in fact, Dong Xiaoyuan's heart was already confused. Originally, I thought it was the admirers who were rejected by Li Shishi and were jealous here, but if you invite these people over, the situation is different. Several famous courtesans in Bianliang City do have conflicts with each other. It is not surprising that you want to be higher than me and I want to suppress you, but every time you go to the front bar, at least later literati fueled the flames. Down, they all made a huge noise. If she was simply fighting for the wind and being jealous, she wouldn't necessarily pull Ji Wanqing out.
Li Shishi in Fanlou, Tingyanju Ji Wanqing, Xiaozhufang Gong Tianer, Qinyuan Yin Hongxiu, the most popular oiran in the world, if they were together, it would be difficult for scribes to have both sides. Now that they have so many people here, either they are really out for a walk, and they just choose a place of their hearts, or... That is, Ji Wanqing wants to give Li Shishi a dismay before the Dragon Boat Festival. Li Shishi's side has no preparation at all, and there are only people like Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng around, which is really troublesome...
He thought of this and sighed in his heart. Things became more complicated. It turned out that it was not to be jealous, but to step on the crowd, but in this way, the complexity became interesting again. .
It's good to see the fun.
In the distance, several carriages are coming towards this place...
****************
People come and go, just like the wind and clouds gather and disperse. Even if you are in it, you often don't know what will happen in the next moment.
At least at this moment, Ning Yi was completely unaware of what would happen in this ordinary daytime, while by his side, Li Shishi noticed it at the first moment, but he could not guess the outline of the whole thing.
In the past few years in the capital, she has become accustomed to many things. Although she is not familiar with the Viscount next door, but the first moment she saw the sudden start of cleaning over there, she could vaguely perceive that this might be aimed at herself. come. In the Fanlou, his whereabouts are actually not airtight, and it is not the first time that such a rivalry is jealous. It's just that she doesn't want it to happen now, because she knows that Ning Yi doesn't seem to like this kind of thing.
If it is an ordinary literati, she will not be disgusted by a little comparison and confrontation, and even if she is disgusted, with her experience over the years, she can make the other party enjoy it. Ning Yi has profound talent and knowledge, and she completely believes in this. After meeting Jiang Ning, and even after being impressed by the talent of the other party, Li Shishi also thought about how shockingly he could kill with his talent if he came to the capital one day. Quartet. But after walking all the way to the north, she suddenly dismissed this idea.
This man went to Beijing with a blood feud. I am afraid there are many things to do. He doesn't like this kind of things, and there must be his reasons. Especially after seeing how he dealt with the Liangshan bandits, she felt that she might not be able to understand the mind and spirit of this man, which belonged to a completely different part of the literati from Bianliang or Jiangning. So when such a thing might happen, she was rather distressed. After all, it would be better if such a thing could not happen.
Of course, for a moment, she only guessed such a possibility, and she was conservative about whether someone was really coming here. He taught Ning Yi how to origami on the pavilion, and briefly talked about the topic of "whether Liheng is going to leave soon". Then he told Ning Yi the trivial news about the sinister situation in Shandong that he had recently inquired about - such a topic. After all, it is not easy to say in front of Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng. Li Shishi also estimates that Ning Yi is not willing to publicize the fact that many people have been killed in his family.
After chatting like this for a while, it was a bit strange that the two of Yu and Zhong had not come over yet. The teacher led Ning Yi back to the inner room to find the pen and ink. Then she asked the people in the room to inquire about the news next door, and took a look at Yu Yu. , where are the two Chen. Anyway, it's almost noon. Even if the other party really came with bad intentions, they always had to eat lunch before leaving. There are still many ways to deal with things on your own side.
At this time, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng were returning, and most of the people who fell in had already noticed the clues of the matter, but whether it was Yu Hezhong, Chen Sifeng or Li Shishi himself, most of them put the center of the matter on Shishi. Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng didn't find it very strange, but when they thought of Ning Yi, they felt that he was somewhat innocent, and I might be surprised later. As for Ning Yi, he just sensed that something might happen, but... Of course, it's up to him. He went to the capital for a few days, and he didn't offend anyone. Shouldn't encounter any mess.
The oiran of the capital. It doesn't look good... With a slight sigh, Ning Yi wrote a love poem on a piece of paper that he was going to use to pick up girls. Of course, the poem was copied, he felt a little nauseous, and he weighed in his mind whether to write two or three copies. In the end, it was determined that this was not suitable for Yuan Jin'er, so I copied three copies, one for Xiaochan, one for Yunzhu, and one for Tan'er to send back.
The teacher turned back from the door, still thinking about the possibility of those troublesome things. Seeing that Ning Yi was finishing the second piece of paper, he knocked on the door cautiously. Ning Yi glanced at her, then tapped a poem with his finger: "It's done, I promise you." He picked up the pen to write the third one, and touched his chin, "It should be okay to write. , will it be a little numb... they should like it..." The last sentence was a little self-comforting.
The teacher came over and saw that there were six words on the paper. At first glance, she knew it was "Huanxisha". She picked it up, and after a while, she read it out softly...
****************
At the same time, Chongwangfu.
Zhuo Yunfeng left, Zhou Pei sat there, dazedly, his mind was blank, and he didn't know how he felt.
What Zhuo Yunfeng said just now is still in his head.
"... Your teacher knows Miss Shishi, we know that. He went to find Miss Li two days earlier, and made an appointment to meet in the garden outside the city this morning. I heard that this news was revealed by someone in the fan building. When I came out, someone wanted to question Master Li, why she could take time to meet others without seeing herself. But later your master's name was known by several young ladies here, and they invited someone and decided to go together. Go over there, and lose face of Li Shishi and your master. I only heard about this in the morning. What kind of Jiangning talent is making a name for himself. I want to show him in person. I also invited a few literary veterans. They are talking about outing, mainly because I want them to be present, as well as some of the famous talents in Bianliang, Yu Shaoyuan, who is the most popular, it is estimated that this time has passed..."
After all, I still caused trouble to the teacher...
This thought flashed in Zhou Pei's mind.
From last night to this morning, she was actually thinking about her teacher. When facing Ning Yi, she acted very normal, but after leaving, her heart suddenly felt empty. She wanted to say something to Ning Yi, but she couldn't say anything, but even if she understood this, she still wanted to say something, everything was fine.
People's thoughts are so strange, she told herself in her heart, I'm afraid there is no reason to see the teacher next time, and I won't see you again in the future. This is the state you should accept. But at this time, while chaotic thoughts flashed in my heart, and at the same time I felt guilty for causing trouble to the teacher, what came up was a little joy.
I have to see the teacher again... The girl thought about this in her heart, where did she take it up, she smiled unconsciously on her blank face, then walked in one direction and took two steps before she realized I went in the wrong direction, turned my head, and trotted to the door not far away...
Trouble the teacher...
When I came out of Bianliang City, the weather was very good, and the big white clouds lowered the shade. On the official road to Bieyuan there, carriages and pedestrians were in a hurry or slow, and the scribes and the young masters in Chinese clothes walked through the ordinary Among the pedestrians, people who knew each other occasionally said hello to each other, or pulled each other to the carriage together.
In the vicinity of Bianliang, such sights are not unusual. Yu Shaoyuan was sitting on the beautiful carriage, feeling the wind blowing, and the woman's light laughter sounded. He looked to the side, and the beautiful woman named Ji Wanqing was also smiling at him. Luo Yi is picturesque, she admires and likes him... He likes this feeling. After 20 years of hard study, this is the most proud time for him. Of course, there will be more and more proud times in the future, and he will like him. , and it won't be just Ji Wanqing, the oiran.
Today is not a day that needs to be prepared, it is just an outing. However, he couldn't help thinking of Li Shishi in his heart. In Bianliang City, there are many women with their own characteristics. He has not seen Li Shishi, what will it look like? Have you read your own poems before? However, Wanqing, who is as famous as her, has fallen in love with her. After all, she wants to help Wanqing defeat her. While defeating her, she will also remember herself deeply. He thought so, his eyes were indifferent and stable, and he looked at the road at the entrance of the village in the distance, which had become lively... ()
