Chapter 43: bet

Views:

After Shangyuan, the intensive visits and entertainment were not too much, and all the common sense around began to move out of the warm atmosphere of the New Year Pass and develop into the ordinary life on weekdays.

The speed at which the song "Sapphire Case" spread was incalculable, but after a few days, I started listening to people talking about it in the teahouse and tavern. As for Ning Yi, there were more discussions about affirming his talent and trying to figure out why he joined the family. At this time, no one would say that he copied and stole words, and some people seemed to deduct the praise of "Jiangning's No. 1 Talent" on his head. , Of course, there are also most people who say that this person has a quirky temperament, is arrogant, and has nothing to learn.

Taking the slant of the sword can solve the problem, but it will definitely have side effects, but such side effects were originally what Ning Yi was looking forward to. After that, things like the temptation of others can basically stop, and he can also teach with peace of mind. , recently he has ordered a batch of porcelain vases as test tubes, which can be used to review simple chemical reactions.

What was more interesting was that he still went out for a run on the morning of the 16th, and met Nie Yunzhu waiting for him at the door of the small building. After seeing him, he bowed gracefully and said, "Ning Dacai is good." With the feeling of being a talented and beautiful woman, Ning Yi nodded: " Hello, little girl." Nie Yunzhu blushed instantly, took a half step back, his face seemed to be on fire, his big eyes turned around, seeing that Ning Yi immediately swayed to other places, a little unable to find his home.

"Ning, Ning Gongzi how can you say so..."

"Yeah? You said hello to Ning Dacai just now... shouldn't I deal with it like this?"

"How can this be! Young Master Ning should say... should say... say..." She stood there at a loss for a long time, and then laughed with a "poof", "It's too frivolous..."

After this little episode, Nie Yunzhu no longer mentioned his identity as a great genius, and was able to chat with him as in the past. Of course, he was still very interested in asking about the situation at the poetry meeting last night, how everyone was doing, etc., when he learned that Qilan was also there, he asked the other party's reaction with a smile: "That girl Qilan is said to be very good in poetry and prose. , have you ever been convinced by Ning Gongzi's poetry?"

"I should be impressed. This young master has several floors of talent. How can she not be impressed... You say so?" Ning Yi looked at the female assassin, and didn't know what happened to Miss Qilan. , think about it, and casually perfunctory. Nie Yunzhu laughed: "Young Master is very right."

"I also think what I said is very true..." Ning Yi stood up with a smile, "Let's go, there is still a long way to go."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

It was late in the winter, and the entire sky was still gray. The small building was flickering with bean-like lights. Nie Yunzhu stood in front of the building and watched him leave, with a deep smile in his eyes. The weather was still cold, and after Ning Yi's figure completely disappeared in the green ashes, she looked up to the sky, smiled and let out a mouthful of white mist, rubbed her palms, turned around and walked back up the steps.

One day today, it must be in a good mood.

A few days later, I met Kang Xian on the street. The old man sat in a sedan chair and didn't know where he was going. Eight people carrying a large sedan chair, plus four fixed servants. He saw Ning Yi and stopped on the road ahead. When it was stopped, Kang Xian gave a few words and let the sedan chair follow: "Sven scum!"

"Happy New Year, Mrs. Kang... Did I do something wrong again?"

"The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in the dim light. The words are good, but the occasion is wrong, and everything should be left a little leeway. The name of a mad hermit, even if you have a heart of seclusion at your age, you can It shouldn't be expressed to this extent."

The two walked along the street where the snow had not melted. Kang Xian's thoughts were still the same as before, but when he talked about it, there was not much stern expression in it, Ning Yi smiled: "That's it. ?"

"Of course not! Today is the 19th day of the first lunar month, and since the 19th day of the new year, you didn't come to the old man's house for a meeting. The old man is very angry about this, and the consequences are very serious... By the way, you passed by this way a year ago. The confidante's stall should be placed on the street in front, has it changed its place at this time, or has not been placed yet?"

Kang Xian pointed to the street in front of him, Ning Yi shook his head and said, "The old man should be responsible when he speaks, don't be so ambiguous... Not many people bought food a few years ago. Naturally, they closed the stall and put it out again. In a few days, it will be sold with a new batch of Songhua eggs. Why does Kang Lao ask this?"

"It's for your pine eggs... Although the taste is strange, it is still acceptable. The most important thing is that it looks good. During the banquet these days, I thought that if I put a bowl on the table just to see it, it would be pleasing to the eye. Girl Rina Nie set up the stall and asked her to bring some to me."

Ning Yi nodded: "According to each person's taste, you can also add some vinegar, sauces and other flavors, and let your cook at home test it a few times, but don't eat too much at one time, too much, you will feel uncomfortable. "

"Your pine eggs don't taste very good, how can I eat too much." Kang Xian joked, and then patted him on the shoulder, "I also know that the situation in your home is complicated, but you don't need to worry too much. At the end of next year, even if you bring your wife here, with your talent and without the help of the old man, the old man is also interested to see what kind of a woman you can be willing to marry, haha..."

At the end of the first month, the weather is gradually warming up, and the piles of snow melted into a trickle into the Qinhuai River. Yingfei's spring breath is approaching step by step, and then, Yushan Academy also started school in such an atmosphere. The first day I went to the school, I met an unexpected person.

"Brother Ning, in the future, everyone will teach for colleagues and teach in the academy. There are many things I don't understand, so please take care of me."

Li Pin and Li Dexin, said in Jiangning's mouth, this person is a talented person on the same level as Cao Guan. It's just that Cao Guan's style is calm and his personality is free and easy, so other people often put Cao Guan as the first. It was puzzling for someone like him to come to Yushan Academy to teach. Ning Yi greeted him, and the rest ignored him. Soon after, Su Chonghua came to talk to him, only to know that Li Pin had told Su Chonghua about it last year.

"I must have been convinced by Li Heng's ability to learn, so he wanted to come to the academy for further education. This person is quite sincere." After Shangyuan, Su Tan'er went to Su Chonghua for a meal, which probably pointed out Ning Yi's attitude towards the academy. Not interested in things, so Su Chonghua's attitude towards Ning Yi has become more friendly recently.

Li Pin is five years older than Ning Yi. It is said that he already has the honor of being a jinshi, but he has not yet achieved a real vacancy. He has not gone to Bianliang to manage, but just hangs out with Jiangning to get some fame. He is also a weirdo— Of course, even if you really want to manage it, people without much background will have to go to great lengths to get it. He is modest and handsome in appearance. Although he has a wife at home, he is also quite popular with women outside. In particular, the name of a talented person is too lethal. In the past, Su Taner was afraid that Li Pin was also regarded as an idol, but this time she was calm, and when she talked about it at home, she smiled and said: "I must be convinced by the demeanor of Xianggong. ."

Li Pin may not be convinced by his literary talent. Of course, the two poems may be part of it, but in Ning Yi's view, Li Pin is more interested in the stories Ning Yi told. He came to Yushan Academy to teach not poetry and prose, but archery and arithmetic. These courses were all in the afternoon. In the morning, he also went to the class to audit. At first, he made a group of young people. Students are quite cramped.

Occasionally, Li Pin would ask questions about some of the things Ning Yi said, and these things were also some of the more critical points in Ning Yi's view. Some social laws that have been summed up, research methods that exhaust the truth of things, and purely mechanical causality. These things are often said to these children by Ning Yi, but he is also reluctant to say things too thoroughly, because once they are thoroughly understood, they will become modern theories and become deviant. Li Pin occasionally asked a question, and Ning Yi said a little more casually, but Li Pin might understand, but the children didn't, and they were often quite puzzled.

Li Pin probably also knew that Ning Yi might not talk to him more at this time, so he only occasionally asked some questions in class. When he met him, he would only say hello to Ning Yi and exchange a few words.

In February, Nie Yunzhu's car was launched again. Pancakes and preserved eggs were sold together. But to be honest, preserved eggs are more expensive. At present, the business is not very good, but they are delivered to Kangxian. A batch is a sum of money. In Qin Mansion that day, he was ridiculed by Kang Xian.

"Your Songhua egg sells for 20 cents a piece, and salted eggs are only 10 cents more expensive, and it's also at a stall selling pancakes. Do you think that Miss Nie's pancakes are only two cents, with two Ten Wen Songhua eggs, people who buy pancakes to eat will not buy Songhua eggs, those who can buy Songhua eggs as snacks often don’t eat the pancakes, such a combination is really nonsense.”

"Hehe, new things, if you sell them at a low price all of a sudden, the price won't go up in the future. In fact, if I do it, maybe I will find a way to sell it for fifty cents, and she doesn't want to make too much money in that business. It's a lot, so it's just casual."

"Haha, I really don't have enough people to swallow an elephant, fifty cents a piece, do you think it's a golden hen laying golden eggs, now you can hardly sell for twenty cents... Hehe, but you don't have to worry, it's out of date. When the old man is feasting on guests, try to help you spread the word. For the price of 20 wen, many people can still afford it. At that time, you can thank the old man, and it is considered to owe the old man a favor..."

Kang Xian said proudly, but it wasn't because he asked for favors. Old Qin also echoed it. Ning Yi didn't care too much about favors. Thank you for your help, but even if you don't help, I can spread things out in a month and sell you twenty cents to see, how?"

"Oh? Really?"

"Salted eggs can be sold for ten cents, but what's so difficult about Songhua eggs for twenty cents? It's just that no one knows about it now..." Ning Yi shrugged, "Who told me to be bored recently..."
