According to Ning Yi's previous plan, he originally planned to go directly to Yushan Academy after running around outside, but at this time, he was already soaking wet, so he had to turn back and change his clothes. At this time, it was already the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and it didn't feel good to go all the way home after getting soaked, and the physical quality didn't necessarily improve much, it was estimated that I would catch a cold tomorrow, but fortunately, I didn't go far, but I met someone I knew, and it was the concubine of Qin's family who had met a few times.

When Ning Yi went out to exercise, the choice would naturally not be the direction leading to the downtown area, what he was most familiar with was, of course, the street where he often came to play chess with Qin Lao. Qin Lao's concubine is named Yun Niang, in her thirties, and she was also a dusty woman in her early years, but she didn't look like a cigarette and a flattering person, Ning Yi saw her several times and she sent lunch to Qin Lao, she was dignified and generous, and she could also say a few words of poetry to Qin Lao during the conversation. At this time, I met Lu on the road, that Yun Niang was dressed as a peasant woman in plain clothes, and carried a rattan basket in her hand, which contained some fresh vegetables and fruits that had just been picked in the nearby fields, and when she saw Ning Yi, she was surprised.

After saying hello a little, Yun Niang asked what happened, and Ning Yi pointed to the Qinhuai River not far away: "I fell into the river." Na Yun Niang smiled slightly, and then didn't ask any more, just asked Ning Yi to follow her to the house on the side: "It's windy in autumn, Gongzi walks back like this, I'm afraid I'm going to catch the wind and cold tomorrow, Ning Gongzi is a friend of the master, don't be polite." The old man was also at home at this time...... Oh, yesterday I also said that Childe hasn't been playing chess in the past few days. ”

Ning Yi and that Qin Lao were playing chess on the nearby streets, only to know that the other party lived here, but they hadn't come yet. At this time, when Yun Niang entered the door, he saw an old man in the living room who was holding a scroll of ancient Jane. His demeanor at this time was serious and serious, and even faintly revealed an authoritative majesty, which was quite different from the demeanor when he set up a chess stall by the river, and when he saw someone coming in, he looked up and squinted his eyes for a few seconds before he reacted, as if he was a little dumbfounded, Yun Niang walked over with a smile, and before he could speak, he nodded, after all, what is the most important thing to do at the moment is indeed clear at a glance.

"Let Xiaohong prepare hot water, Yun Niang, you go and take out a set of Da Lang's clothes...... Ha Luha, Liheng Xiaoyou, what's going on with you? ”

After the business was arranged, the old man laughed, and there was a schadenfreude in the laughter when he got a good hand when he played chess, in fact, these days of playing chess, it can be regarded as familiar, on weekdays, the old man often unceremoniously called him Liheng boy, probably because he saw him embarrassed, only to smile and call Xiaoyou, but the expression is also quite happy. Ning Yi also smiled helplessly and spread his hands, after all, the other party's concubine was present, and it was impossible for him to say casually: "You old man gloating." ”

Compared with the vast Su family compound in Jiangning City, the Qin family's house is not large, and the degree of wealth is naturally not comparable, but it can also be regarded as a good wealthy family. Although Yun Niang personally went out to pick vegetables and fruits in the morning, in fact, this family also has a few maids and subordinates, and the family that can afford to support several servants is still good financially.

Qin Lao's original partner was a very easy and amiable woman, she used to be a peasant woman, but she didn't have the stingy or mean character of an ordinary peasant woman, and now she is in her fifties, she runs this family on weekdays, and she takes care of some melons and fruits. Perhaps it is also this temperament that can take care of this family so well, and the relationship between Mrs. Qin and Yun Niang is good, such a husband and wife can probably be regarded as a model family under polygamy.

When Ning Yi took a hot bath and put on new clothes and came out, Mrs. Qin looked his outfit up and down, and liked it very much: "Master, Ning Gongzi wears this shirt, but it is somewhat similar to Da Lang." Ning Yi looked at the clothes, it was indeed a young man's style, and the fabric was also new, thinking that it was the clothes of Qin's old son. The old man had two sons, both out of town. Hearing what Mrs. said, Old Qin nodded, and then asked why Ning Yi fell into the river, Ning Yi told the unfortunate things that happened before, and the old man laughed again.

"You kid, it's really hateful to be innocent."

"That's too much of a rake......",

"Ha Lu Ha...... But...... A rake? Is there any allusion to this sentence? ”

"......" It's not good to talk to learned people, if there is something to ask allusions, Ning Yi explained with a smile when he was playing chess, and then he only said: "It's a long story." After a while, Mrs. Qin prepared breakfast, and greeted Qin Lao and Ning Yi with Yun Niang, and chatted about Ning Yi's experience in the first few days of the course in Yushan Academy.

"Will Pu Yuan poetry...... The six boats of the Pu family are still quite interesting, but the people who go there probably don't have much poetic talent, if it is said that many talents are eager to go, after all, it is the Pan family's water-stopping poetry meeting......"

"Oh, genius...... Is it the kind of talent that is very talented? ”

"Ha Luha, what do you think of the big and small talents, it's hard to say, there are always some poems, every year at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, there are always a few good poems coming out of Zhishui Academy. The three generations of the Pan family, if they are talented and want to learn, they are always willing to go over there......"

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Qinhuai, there are many poetry meetings of all sizes, and there are often some invisible competitions between the poetry clubs. Naturally, there is also the hype of various merchants and even the behind-the-scenes promoters such as the government, but in any case, the reputation of Qinhuaihe is set off in such an atmosphere.

Pu Yuan Poetry Club and Water Stop Poetry Club is one of the most influential poetry meetings on this night, although Pu Yuan Poetry Club is called Pu Yuan, in fact, it is connected by six big boats, drifting on the Qinhuai River all night, drinking and chanting poems, watching fireworks and lights on both sides of the river, and there will be various performances on the boat.

The Pu family was originally a wealthy businessman, but the status of the businessman was low, and he wanted to lean in the direction of the literati after he had money, but unfortunately such a thing would not be something that could be done in a few years or more than ten years, his family was very large, and there were a few talented literati in recent years, slightly better than the Su family, but now in the eyes of the world, it is still not a scholarly family, and the Pu Yuan Poetry Society is known for its luxury and excitement on the Qinhuai River, but most of the people who go to participate are similar to the Pu family with a business background or connection, such as Xue Jin such as Su Tan'er, join in the fun, If there are self-proclaimed literati writing poems, the other half is used to negotiate business, the quality of the poems is uneven, it is the most luxurious poetry club, but it is incomparable with the top few poems in terms of tone.

The poetry meeting is the real top talent gathering in Qinhuai, the Pan family that hosts the poetry meeting is a real scholarly family, three generations of Hanlin, this generation of Pan Mingchen as a bachelor of Hanlin is also a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, his family opened the poetry meeting, has always been a lot of students who have the intention to seek fame, of course, really want to get the qualification to participate in the poetry meeting, itself must also have a certain talent or enough relationship background to do so, in addition to some of the famous talents can be invited, every year before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also many talents to Pan Mansion to send famous posts, Send your own poems in order to gain favor. In addition, many famous prostitutes in Qinglou are also proud to be invited to participate in the Water Stopping Poetry Society, which is completely different from the meaning of the Puyuan Poetry Society spending a lot of money every year to invite people.

"Since you are ready to participate, do you have any poems prepared by Liheng Xiaoyou, there are also a few chess friends on the Pan family, if you are interested, you can go and ask for an invitation."

After Qin Lao finished speaking, he looked at Ning Yi on the other side of the table, Ning Yi shook his head with a smile: "I don't understand poetry, just go to Puyuan to see the excitement." ”

He refused to understate, Qin Lao didn't want to say anything, after breakfast, the sun was already high outside, Ning Yi also had to say goodbye and go to Yushan Academy, after sending him to the door to see him away, Yun Niang smiled beside Qin Lao and asked, "Master, doesn't this Ning Gongzi really don't understand poetry?" ”

"Xiao Yun'er, what do you say?"

Yun Niang blinked: "Liar? ”

"Hehe, I don't know if he will or not, but if he said it like this in the first few days, I would have believed it. Now, that's hard to say. Qin Lao shook his head and smiled, "I have read a lot of people in my life, or I have seen young people who are famous and famous or really talented and learned, and some of them are peaceful and upright according to the way of Confucius and Mencius, modest and polite, or there are also crazy students who go off the rails, acting flamboyantly and uninhibited, but they are also really talented, and they are always amazing." But no matter what, these are just the same thing, but only this Ning family kid really can't understand his thoughts. ”,

"When I first played chess with him, I felt that he was on the wrong side, and every time he was aggressive, he could always make people think, but he thought that he was a young man with a flamboyant personality and quick thinking, and he didn't talk too much. But after playing for a long time, I found that his chess move was just right, he was not bound by the rules at all, chatted for a while, and felt that although this Ning family kid spoke casually, he was peaceful and diluted inside, and there were occasional thought-provoking statements, which sounded novel, but in fact, he did not leave the avenue. ”

"I remember a few days ago that he was going to teach in the school, he casually mentioned a few words, teaching is not to teach people how to do, it should be to teach people why to do it, the ancient sages wrote books and said, the most important thing is only to say that this person is sophisticated, the world, heaven and earth and the heart of the people's mind, after understanding these things, and then know how to do it, that is the real reader. He said it casually at the time, and if it sounded to those shallow people, I was afraid that he would be deducted from a mad hat, but ...... That's the truth, that's true. Seeing that the mountains are mountains, seeing the water is water, seeing the mountains is not mountains, seeing the water is not water, and then being able to return to seeing the mountains is the mountains and seeing the water is water, that is to understand the book. Well, don't spread this too much, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause some trouble to people. ”

"The concubine knows the way."

"The time of intersection is still short, and it is too early to draw too high conclusions, but when he was playing chess, he also said a few verses that were appropriate to the situation, and the verses were very good, but I had never heard them before, and if I only talked about poetry, and said that he didn't understand, oh, I don't believe it."

Qin Lao turned around and walked back, and Yun Niang followed: "Then why does Ning Gongzi keep keeping his light and cultivating obscurity, no matter what......"

"So I don't understand it, but one thing I understand." Speaking of this, Qin Lao frowned slightly, then shook his head again, and sighed softly, "As you said Xiao Yun, some young people, even if they are talented and learned, they can either keep their heads in the dark or deliberately hide their clumsiness, and they can endure loneliness and endure the temptation for a while." This is also hoping to have more achievements in the future, and one day the fish will leap into the dragon gate and soar, but ah, any such character, it is impossible for them to choose to join a businessman's family as their son-in-law before becoming famous. Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to make contributions to a son-in-law? Alas, it would be a pity if he was really talented......"

Mentioning this, Qin Lao still felt a little regretful, it is normal for a man to have the mind of fame and fortune or ambition, judging from the contact these days, even if Ning Yi has a little ambition, he will not enter the family of merchants. At this time, the people's wisdom was not yet opened, and the difference between the uneducated and the educated scholars was very easy to see. Let's not talk about whether he is really talented, just say that a person with this kind of talkative temperament will not starve to death if he does anything, so why run to join the family?
