Chapter 202 Farewell (Part 1)
After coming out of the woods, since it was already noon, everyone was led by Chen Luoyuan to eat in another courtyard at the foot of the mountain. 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 property, but several places with beautiful scenery have been developed. This courtyard is located on the other side of the mountain forest, hidden in the forest, facing a quiet stream to the west. When the mountain flowers are luxuriant, the surrounding scenery is pleasant. Ning Yi can't help feeling envious when he looks at it.
But there is nothing to say about this. The further civilization advances, the more amazing the pyramid structure of wealth becomes. The Chen family has a rich background, but it is still nothing compared to Kang Xian. Seeing that Ning Yi likes it, the old man disagrees: "There are not many people, the surroundings are not connected, and it is a bit remote, which is not very convenient. The land price nearby Cheap, if you like it, well, that forest over there seems to be My..."
"Which one is it?"
"They are both mountains, and there are no people living there. The land is useless, and neither do I. I know which ones they are, there are quite a few of them. How about giving them to you if you like them?”
These days, if you are a really big landowner with official connections, your land can be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres, which is even an area of cultivated land that can produce economic benefits. Naturally, Ning Yi didn't know how much property Kang Xian owned. He couldn't inquire about it or even guess it. Maybe he himself wouldn't know it very well.
The two of them talked for a few words, and Ning Yi had no need to ask for his land. In fact, he just had a sudden idea that he could build a beautiful summer resort, but if he thought about it carefully, this kind of business was not a guaranteed profit at the moment. It’s all because places to serve people and relax are everywhere in Jiangning City. There is no industrial pollution or fast-paced lifestyle in this world. There is no need for people to deliberately look for places to escape. If you really want to find one, be serious. It's not that you can't make money at all, but it's basically just a toss-up. Ning Yi thought about it and let it go.
Since it was Cold Food Festival, what everyone ate at noon were many snacks unique to the Cold Food Festival carefully prepared by the Chen family, which tasted good. In the afternoon, when Chen Luoyuan came up with a few gifts, including poems and songs, the literary meeting became more formal. Ning Yi did not participate, but just watched the performances of the brothel girls. This competition was quite impressive and it was a feast for the eyes and ears.
A group of talented people showed off their literary talents, but no one paid attention to him. He and Yunzhu were enjoying themselves leisurely. In fact, Ning Yi was originally prepared to write one or two poems when necessary. Cao Guan cherishes his feathers and does not easily provoke. It is understandable that although Liu Qingdi seems to be quite unhappy with him, he is actually not strong enough. It is a matter of choice whether he will provoke him or not. If he really wants to drag him into trouble, I didn't intend to look good on him either. On Zhou Bangyan's side, Ning Yi originally thought that these students from the capital would use the excuse of competition as an excuse to get rid of him, but for some reason, he guessed wrong. Zhou Bangyan's attitude was kind, and Li Shishi's expression was a little complicated when facing him, but Appear quiet.
So at the end, Liu Qingdi didn't speak to himself, and the students from the capital didn't say anything, which made him look a little bored after being prepared. He didn't know that Fang Wenyang and others were originally prepared to compete with him, but in the end they were secretly suppressed by Master Li.
If it were just an ordinary literary meeting, it would be fine, but this gathering was originally very excited by interested people like Pu Yangyi. Before the literary meeting, Master Li thought it would be okay to compete, but after listening to the two and a half lyrics in the woods, It's hard to describe my mood, I just feel that I can't compare in any way. Even if I only have the heart to make friends through literature, in this situation, if I can not compare, it is better not to compare. During this period, coupled with Zhou Bangyan's silence, in the end, it became this situation. Ning Yi was left aside and ignored, but later he was nagged by Kang Xian and others.
Except for the competition between Jiang Ning and Jingshi, Jin'er did not do anything out of the ordinary throughout the afternoon. Liu Qingdi provoked her in the morning, and at this time she It seems that I have forgotten. In the afternoon, she stayed with Yunzhu and talked about other people's poems or performances. Although she still spoke freely, Ning Yi felt that she seemed to have 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 also heard it on the other side. At that time, he hid in the grass and listened, and when he crawled out, I had to admit in my heart: "This This guy is really good at picking up girls, I'm afraid I'm going to lose." She knew that Sister Yunzhu must be very happy after hearing those lyrics, but she didn't want to go out and disturb them, so she let them have a happy day. Anyway, Sister Yunzhu. Being happy is the most important thing.
In one day, I wrote a crooked poem. It never became famous, but I still felt quite comfortable. Ning Yi originally came out with Yunzhu to relax, but the goal has been achieved, and the rest is just a cloud. That day, I was walking home at sunset. I was caught up by Master Li's carriage on the way, and he said a few words about meeting on another day.
A few more days passed until Li Shishi left Jiangning, but the two did not meet again. In fact, what Li Shishi said was sincere, but Ning Yi treated it as a polite word. After that, even if he received an invitation to a cultural banquet, he would just treat it as if he didn't see it, and Li Shishi would never come to his home to find him. Until Master Li left, he couldn't help but wonder about the sentence after "Lao Chi has experienced the cold and heat a few times".
The day before Qingming Festival, Su Tan'er accompanied Ning Yi back to his old house to stay one night and pay homage to the ancestors of the Ning family. After that, the Su family was busy for Qingming Festival, but Ning Yi was free. After the Qingming Festival, I met the two brothers of the Qin family once or twice, and even fought with Xu Xiaohu once, but was completely defeated. The two then exchanged some knowledge on joint techniques. The other party was very interested and had a great conversation.
Xu Xiaohu also taught him the eight basic Vajra moves of Bazi Quan, and then said that if he really faced an enemy, he didn’t need to use Bazi Quan or other unfamiliar boxing techniques. He was familiar with joint techniques, that kind of direct Just use these fighting skills. It doesn't matter if you learn the rest as routines. Start with the ones you are most familiar with. The more you fight, the more you will know everything. This is similar to what Lu Hongti said when he left, but Ning Yi thinks that he may not have many opportunities to "fight". Although he has learned internal skills, he may not be able to compete with the first-class masters in this life.
Of course, this body is only in his early twenties, so who can tell clearly 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. Life returned to its original rhythm, giving lectures, reading novels, doing experiments, and chatting with Yunzhu during the day. Chatting, teasing Yuan Jin'er, playing backgammon with Xiao Chan, or listening to Su Tan'er talk about things during the pilgrimage, Taoism Long story short, I occasionally brag with two disciples, Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu, about the scientific prospects... March has passed in this way, and summer has entered. This is probably the most pleasant period of the year, with the temperature being moderate, neither too cold nor too hot. , Jiangning is also peaceful. Every time I walk on the street, I can't help but feel satisfied that everyone has found happiness.
I thought I would leave in April, but Su Tan'er had just taken charge of the big house, and it was not easy to put down most of it to go to her father's place. The trip was delayed for a while. Yunzhu is naturally happy that Ning Yi can stay for a while. She now has a good relationship with Mr. Qin's family, and the two occasionally meet in the Qin Mansion.
Ning Yi looked back and thought about it, it had just been two years since he came here. Some of the marks left on him by his past life have not faded away, but these two years have really been the most leisurely. It was just that at this time in the past two years, Mr. Qin was setting up a chess stall by the Qinhuai River, and he I go to see it often. The small tea stall by the river is still there, but the chess stall cannot be set up. Mr. Qin is also being watched by some people, which makes people feel that something is about to happen. feeling.
As for Mr. Qin, everyone was probably paying the most attention at the end of last year. It had been silent for several years. Due to the rumors between Jin and Liao, the number of visitors suddenly increased. However, around the end of the year, news of the peace talks between Jin and Liao came, and the situation was unclear, and the number of people gradually began to pay less attention. Everyone did not forget about the old man's influence, but chose to wait and see quietly, waiting for changes.
Jin and Liao may not be able to fight again in the short term. Many people are thinking this way.
The old man didn't talk about these things. Ning Yi came over a few times and just chatted and played chess without discussing the situation. Sometimes the old man made fun of his relationship with Yunzhu. Until one day at the end of April, when the weather was cool, the two of them played a game of chess in the yard of Qin's house. Yunzhu also came. She brought some food and wine from Zhuji and chatted with Yun Niang in the backyard.
“Speaking of which, Li Heng, you’re going to Hangzhou too soon, right?”
"Yeah."
"It's a bit hot to leave in May."
"Take a boat there, first to Yangzhou, and then to Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"It won't cause seasickness. "That's not bad." The old man smiled and then said, "Speaking of which, When Li Heng comes back to Jiangning, I'm afraid I won't live here anymore. This house... will probably be idle."
Ning Yi was stunned, and then laughed: "After all, it is not a place to stay for a long time. , Mr. Qin’s residence in the capital should be better than here, right?”
"Haha..." Perhaps the words that touched his heart made the old man laugh, and then he felt a little sad, "Human beings are not grass and trees, how can we be ruthless? After eight years, I was prepared to die here." Ready."
"It's still early." Ning Yi smiled, picked up a chess piece in his hand, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Is there a war?"
Old man. nodded.
“There is a war.”
On the afternoon of April, the sky was warm and the cool summer breeze blew through the woods inside and outside the city. The leaves rustled and moved, and the sound was as fast as The scroll is being turned, but the person turning the page cannot be seen. During the peaceful conversation, the faint smell of blood could be heard in the northern sky... (End of this chapter)
