The day is boring, to say that it is good to say, of course, leisurely, in the continuous rainy time, play five chess with the little girl, occasionally practice calligraphy, look at ancient books, although in entertainment and modern novels can not be compared, but he has always been able to endure this monotonous person, since he came to ancient times, holding a book without punctuation marks for a long time, figuring out the meaning word by word, for him, it is not much pain.

Of course, there are other messy things, in a few months, naturally.

When my uncle entered the door, he was in the middle, in this era, he has always had no status, and the situation of the Su family is actually more complicated. Now the real ruler of the Su family is Su Tan'er's grandfather who is still alive, generally called him the old lady, the old lady has three biological children, divided into two rooms and three rooms, and the one who is in charge of the external power is the big house, that is, Su Tan'er's father Su Boyong, and Su Boyong only has Su Tan'er's daughter, but Su Tan'er is quite capable in business, and directly overwhelmed the men in the other two rooms, becoming the main reason for this complex relationship, and the men in the other two rooms have always hoped that Su Tan'er will marry out of Lu in the future and become the water that splashes out. They have the opportunity to inherit the Su family in the future, and now there is a rich guy who makes their hopes shattered, and they see it on weekdays, even if they don't restrain themselves from being cynical, a white eye is always indispensable.

In addition to the three rooms of the main line, Mrs. Su also has brothers and sisters, the Su family is now spreading out on a huge scale, and there are no less than thirty or forty people who can climb the status of cousins and cousins with Su Tan'er, no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, for him, the aunt, most of them can't be called hot - of course, if it's hot, he is very nerve-wracking, just everyone's big family, eating together every night, the situation becomes more embarrassing, he can only sit on the side and count the sheep, except for his father-in-law, mother-in-law, two aunts and Su Tan'er, Probably no one will talk to him, it's quite boring, and these people don't have much nutrition when they talk, so he feels bored, so let's have a meal...... How good is it to take it back to the room......

He is naturally not afraid of this boredom of isolation, the experience is enough for him to face all situations easily, but take a step back, of course, no one likes or pursues this feeling, he now looks at Go with relish, if there is a choice, it is natural for everyone to play mahjong together.

Interests are entangled, intrigues, at least for the time being, it has not affected him, of course, if you stay here, sooner or later there will always be some storms, but the problem is not big, Su Taigong and Su Boyong are alive, no matter how small and small troubles in a family are, they are limited, of course, he is now living in the Su family, and the first problem in front of him is actually work.

When he woke up, it was because he was knocked on a brick in his head, and he had some memory loss, and many things were put on hold for the time being, and then gradually recovered, the Su family didn't expect anything from him, but if he was really too idle, of course it wasn't good, and when he got closer, someone mentioned the question of what he wanted to do. He doesn't know this problem, doing business, going to a certain branch as a shopkeeper, accounting office - of course, it may be a supervisor or something like that - these are actually very unnecessary, and he doesn't bother to contact again, looking at his father-in-law's attitude, it seems that he intends to let him go to the Su family's own private school to be a gentleman, and he can also do learning, after all, he used to give people the image of a poor scholar who was stupid and read.

After this matter was raised, it was temporarily vetoed by Mrs. Su, saying that it would take him a while to see what he wanted to do, but in Ning Yi's opinion, the matter of becoming a teacher after a while could probably be determined. He also had a few conversations with Mrs. Su, probably because the old lady talked about the friendship between his ancestors and talked about his family, but the old man was able to support such a big family, and he was naturally a shrewd person, probably because he saw that his temperament was a little different from the previous nerd, and he took a little longer.

Of course, he didn't deliberately hide too much, he had to make himself look like a stupid nerd, the days were still long, and covering up was not the way, he had been watching all this with a sightseeing mentality. Of course, you can probably see part of the character from the temperament and demeanor, but if you want to determine how someone is, whether he is suitable for business or teaching, or whether this person is a good person or a bad person, it is like playing Go to observe character, it is simply impossible, as long as you don't do anything messy, and if it lasts for a while, the old lady will be bored with observation, and probably will arrange for him to teach. ,

It's good.

Although the seniors are not good students with excellent character and learning, but when they come here, Guwen can always be understood, and his previous identity is not a great Confucian, no one should have too high expectations for him, if you want to teach, a conservative point is to let students shake their heads and memorize articles every day, and they can barely pass, and it is no problem to take some modern knowledge to fool people when they are in good spirits, so living in the Su family is also justified. If you want to leave, in the present when no one knows anyone, there is no need to think about it at all, even in modern times, if you want to live a better life, you have to have a considerable relationship, especially in ancient times, even if such a huge business empire was established, he would not think that he would be able to "let me go to the world" if he took a few taels of silver in ancient times, in any case, the Su family is still a good haven at present.

The rain has been falling for several days, and I have stayed at home for a few days, and occasionally I see the three masters and servants of the small building opposite holding an oil-paper umbrella and hurrying out, and I can also see their figures coming back in the rain, the corridor building, the garden pavilion, the drizzle is dashing, and the white stone and green tiles are washed out extraordinarily clear, they come from there, or the lake green or white or light red dress, the ladies of this year are really ladylike, and the modern packaged women are different, no matter how they perform, those women have a fireworks or copper smell, At this time, they will feel that everything is like in an ink painting, they rushed back from outside, avoided the dripping eaves, patted the wet clothes on the side of the stairs, and then went upstairs...... At dusk, there are also lights of fire lit up from the continuous courtyard, crimson, dark red halo, some fixed, some swimming, the dark night has the atmosphere of the ancient deep house compound.

Of course, this is the ancient deep mansion compound.

Five chess is easy to play, it is not difficult to be proficient, Xiaochan learned and became a master, in the next few days, Ning Yi played with her again, it has always been a situation of more losses and fewer wins, and this kind of entertainment to the extreme degree of "infection" to the opposite small building, three days later in the evening, Ning Yi lit the oil lamp to read, Xiaochan came to see several times, to make sure that he did not order Fang to leave, Ning Yi and the book scroll to the corridor when walking, then saw the courtyard corridor below, the girl holding the Go chessboard to the opposite side of the small building, Then he and Xing'er Juan'er entered the room on the first floor opposite, the lights were turned on, and the three of them could be seen playing chess inside. I can't help but laugh.

The heavy rain lasted for several days before it stopped. Although I told Xiaochan before that it was not good to go to the Qinhuai River to watch Go again, it was naturally a joke, and sure enough, the old man surnamed Qin who played chess in the past noticed him and said hello.

Soon after, the old man and his friend finished a game, smiled and waved to Ning Yi who was watching the game next to him, first introduced him to the friend who was fighting, and then naturally Ning Yi and the person greeted each other, after the basic etiquette arrived, let him also roughly talk about the opponent's view of the game of chess, although not too serious, but after each game of chess, if there is a good move, it is also necessary to review or show off between chess friends, and the nature is equivalent to saying a few words after playing, "If I don't do this, I won't lose ......" or something like that. Since the old man invited him to participate, he naturally recognized his Go level, and then he also made an invitation.

"Ning Gong is interested, let's play another game?"

Ning Yi smiled and nodded in agreement, and while collecting the chess, the old man smiled and spoke.

"It's raining at home these days, and I have recalled the game of chess with a few friends, Ning Gong has a lot of clever moves, and people think deeply. For this reason, the old decay has been itching for many days, and today the rain stopped going out, and the prince really came, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Although he somewhat thought that Ning Yi's chess method was not "Jun" enough that day, he didn't take this too seriously after all, but as a chess player, he suddenly saw such Ying's chess playing technique, and the longer the time, the more he recalled and deduced in his heart, and the more he was a little "obsessed". Just chatted and played a game, but the old man lost again, Ning Yi made a little deduction with him, and played another game, and went home before seeing that it was dark.

The next day, he continued, and it didn't take long for his future "work" to finally be decided.

On the first day of July, when the whole family had dinner together, Mrs. Su asked Ning Yi about recuperating from his injuries, and then mentioned that a teacher in the academy was about to leave and asked Ning Yi if he would like to teach in the academy. The old man had a kind attitude, but with his status in the family, as soon as the words came out, it was basically decided, Ning Yi was also mentally prepared before, so he naturally nodded and agreed, and then the old lady called Su Zhongkan, the second eldest in charge of the academy in the family, and asked him to arrange it for him after the previous teacher left. ,

There is still a period of time before the teacher leaves, and the main way to kill time is to run to play Go, and the rest is to read books, practice calligraphy, and play five chess with Xiaochan. After more than a month, the relationship with the Su family has not been greatly improved, and some people on the streets by the Qinhuai River have become familiar.

The street scenery here is good, the trees are shady, but the location is slightly off, there are no big shops, except for the tea shop next to it is slightly fixed, there will be a few hawkers who sell breakfast or buy vegetables in the morning, the surrounding houses are sparse, some houses built along the river will stick out of the water at one end, like the stilted building by the river, occasionally see someone go down to the river to wash clothes and get water.

The old man surnamed Qin should have a good family background, he is quite a learned and knowledgeable person, and he is well-informed, and it is said that the ancient scholars are pedantic, but this old man is not like this. It will never be full of words, nor will it be a sage who speaks and sees things very adaptively, but if you chew carefully, the center is not separated from the way of Confucius and Mencius, this is the person who really understands Confucius and Mencius.

If Confucius and Mencius take off the coat of change for the rule, the core part is actually the life principles summarized by the ancients, and many things at the philosophical level are universally applicable, Ning Yi can talk to this old man, and he doesn't have to worry too much about chatting occasionally, this old man is estimated to have been an official before, and when he is old, he is bored to come out to set up a chess stall every day. His family lives nearby, he has a wife in her fifties, and a beautiful concubine who is about thirty years old.

The old man also has some fixed chess friends, most of them are also learned old men, some have a solid family background, and some seem to have a clean breeze on their sleeves, at first Ning Yi mostly sat on the sidelines and watched, but then he was gradually able to participate in the review and say a few words. Naturally, there will be people who hold their own identities and criticize his junior statements, for example, an old man surnamed Dong has criticized his unscrupulous little techniques, his attitude is arrogant, Ning Yi is too lazy to pay attention to him, and it is not interesting to argue with this kind of old man about things in principle.

Sitting by the tea stall every day, I naturally want to eat something and drink some tea, and I am familiar with the owner of the tea stall. Xiaochan was bored, and occasionally sat on the side chattering with the daughter of the tea stall owner, and at the beginning of the tea stall owner's daughter was said to have asked about Ning Yi's background a little shyly, and when she learned that Ning Yi was the son-in-law of the Su family, she showed a disappointed look. Because it seems that Ning Yi is a noble father with a very good family background, and it is proof that he can take a maid around every day, and he can talk to Qin Lao and talk to the sky, and occasionally say something that others can't understand, which proves that he is very knowledgeable, if he can marry him...... It's a pity that it's a big deal.

Chatting when playing chess, at the beginning, it was naturally carried out in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, and after two weeks, it was considered familiar, and the old man might feel that some of the words that Ning Yi said casually were thought-provoking, but of course, there were times when he felt deviant, which was a difference in customs. Ning Yi was informal, and the two discussed while playing chess, and a month later, they seriously talked about his identity.

Ning Yi didn't hide his identity much, and he said it before, the old man just nodded "oh", at that time, he was just a chess friend he knew, and everyone could talk about it at this time, and after barely being a New Year's friend, the meaning of mentioning it again was naturally different.

"You are not a skilled person, and you are a troublesome thing...... It's a shame......"

Ning Yi didn't dabble too much in the collection of scriptures and histories, and his rote memorization was not good, so he was not from a professional class. Qin Lao is a great Confucian in this regard, and after being in contact with the two sides for so long, he naturally saw this, so he gave an evaluation of "not learning skills", which is actually a high praise, but Ning Yi is also smiling.

"There's nothing bad about getting rich, you see I come out every day to drink tea, play chess, have Xiaochan to give money, eat and live well, and go to be a teacher in a few days, teach a group of students without any burden, I'm lazy to do, it's already very good."

That being said, but in this year, the identity of the son-in-law is lower than that of the average wife, the wife enters the door, and the spiritual position can be placed in the ancestral hall after her death, and the son-in-law does not even have the qualifications to enter the ancestral hall, and is no different from the concubine. Ning Yi had read all the lead in his previous life, but how could ordinary young people have such a state of mind, Boss Qin probably saw that he had learned something, and he couldn't help but choke his heart. ,

“…… What's more, the Su family is also a family of businessmen, and businessmen are not only profit-seeking, although they are also famous, but even if you have knowledge, fame and fortune will not fall on you after all. ”

The old man said this because he saw it deeply, regardless of the attitude of the outside world towards a son-in-law, even if Ning Yi was really educated, the Su family would not want him to run to the exam and win his reputation. When he was asked to come over, he saw that he was a nerd, Mrs. Su was a righteous person, remembering the agreement with Ning Yi's elders, and Ning Yi was also a bit literate, but not really how knowledgeable he was, Su Tan'er could also hold it down, even from Ning Yi's point of view, the nerd in the past was actually stained, and he didn't mean to slander the Su family, so he just laughed it off. However, hearing the old man talking about the rights and wrongs of the Su family, Xiaochan, who was sitting on the side and overheard it, blushed and couldn't help but come over.

"Old ...... Grandpa, after my uncle arrived at the Su family, Miss has never treated my uncle badly, Miss is a very good person, and she will not treat her uncle badly in the future! ”

The little girl looked nervous and serious. She grew up beside Su Tan'er since she was a child, and she was like a sister, so she couldn't necessarily hear the deep meaning behind the old man's words at this time, but she probably knew that the old man was talking about the Su family. The average family master talks to outsiders, and the little maid probably has no room to interject, but the identity of the son-in-law is special, some are very generous, and some of the maids are disdainful, but Xiaochan follows Su Tan'er and has an excellent upbringing, so naturally it will not be the latter, but she is nervous about the reputation of the young lady and even the Su family, and I don't know how much courage she mustered up to say these words with rebuttal meaning, her hands clenched in front of her, nervous.

In the past, Xiaochan always stayed quietly by the side, well-behaved and sensible, Qin Lao was also used to the existence of this little girl, at this time he was slightly stunned, Ning Yi glanced at Xiaochan a few times, but he had already laughed, raised his hand and fell.

"Ha Luha, you old man, don't worry about salty radishes, but you have offended Xiaochan now. If your words spread in the Su family, I would be the one who suffered. ”

The old man also laughed: "Ha Luha, I lost my words, I lost my words, I want to teach Miss Xiaochan to know that the old man said this, and he didn't mean to accuse the Su family, but talking about other people's family affairs in vain, it is indeed an old man's gaffe, sorry, sorry, sorry ......"

He apologized to Xiao Chan open-mindedly, Xiao Chan was not necessarily angry, but serious, the nervous and serious expression did not fade until he left with Ning Yi, and even seemed to be a little thicker, following Ning Yi with his head down along the way, his already petite body seemed to have become smaller because of the silence, Ning Yi pouted helplessly, and turned back to comfort: "What's wrong?" I'm still angry. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiaochan's shoulders shrink, her mouth flattened, and tears rolled out of her eyes like broken pearls.

It seems like a serious matter...... Ning Yi was stunned, and then softened his voice: "What's wrong?" ”

"Xiaochan......" The little girl choked up and raised her head to look at him, "Although Xiaochan is a little girl who doesn't know anything, she won't chew the root of her tongue with this kind of thing...... Not a ...... duty"

Xiaochan shrugged her shoulders, choked up, Ning Yi looked at her for a long time, originally thought that this little girl was sullen all the way because of the old man's words, who knew that Lu Dao felt aggrieved for his joke, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle...... Are you still ...... Goo-"

The little girl's choked words leaked before she finished speaking, but Ning Yi suddenly stretched out her hands, pinched her cheeks and pulled her face into a big cake, this time it was the little girl's turn to be stunned, both eyes were round, like lanterns, blinked twice, Ning Yi let go of her face and patted her shoulder gently: "Let's go." "Turn and leave.

After a while, the little girl followed, with a frightened look on her face, and at the same time, her face was flushed: "Uncle, aunt, you ......" She wanted to denounce Ning Yifang's behavior. In fact, this matter can be big or small, in the past few months, the two can be regarded as getting along day and night, occasionally Xiaochan helps him measure clothes, more clothes, physical contact is actually there, but it can be regarded as an unintentional touch.

Ning Yilai's history has basically gone a fork in the road, but the Wu Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are actually very similar, although Cheng Zhu Lixue has not appeared in the slightest, but by this time, the defense of men and women has also been quite exquisite. Xiaochan is a maid, she has to serve the people around her, it is impossible to ask like ordinary women, if Su Tan'er is married to Ning Yi, as one of the three maids, it is almost certain that she will be Ning Yi's concubine in the future, then there is no problem, but now that Ning Yi is in the Su family, everything is actually Su Tan'er's final say. After all, the status of the son-in-law is low, as far as the people are concerned, it is generally believed that men with a little backbone or persistence will not be rich, which is also because the status of the son-in-law in many families is actually no different from that of slaves, and most of the women's families only support the men who are rich for a long time. Of course, the situation of each family is different, and it is not surprising that if the relationship between the husband and wife is good, or the son-in-law actually has some ability, he can naturally have his own place at home.

In the Su family, Mrs. Su remembered the friendship of the previous generations, and actually took good care of Ning Yi, and the family would not openly despise him. Although Su Tan'er had expressed her resistance to this family matter, her attitude towards Ning Yi at this time could be regarded as peaceful. But even if this is the case, or if the relationship between the two develops again in the future and becomes a real husband and wife, the possibility that she will allow Ning Yi to have an intimate relationship with Chan'er in the future is not high. Although the three maids have followed Su Tan'er since childhood, Su Tan'er will do things in the future, I am afraid that she will not let go of these three little girls in her life, but the possible thing may be to marry them to some loyal and promising subordinates, and at the same time leave them in the Su family.

Of course, this is just a casual prank, Ning Yi may not think about it so much, and the little girl naturally can't think of it too complicated, but even if she is not angry, after all, she is still a little shy, at this time, her face is red and angry, and she rushes up angrily, trying to summarize the words that are enough to describe Ning Yi's behavior, and then just said: "Uncle, you, you bully people!" ”

"Hmm." Ning Yi nodded and shrugged his shoulders, "I bullied you, how can you drop it?" ”

"Drop it......" Chan'er blinked, and then got angry again, "Say something Chan'er doesn't understand......

"Ha Lu Ha." On the side of the street, Ning Yi laughed a little happily.

When I first came here, the mood was actually quite gloomy, but I have been bored for so long, and the gloomy mood has gradually dispersed, and I feel that in ancient times, it was to bully people, and to bully the old pedant with Go, and now to bully the little girl, it is actually quite interesting.

Walking all the way in the direction of home, Xiaochan jumped behind her and followed along, at first she was a little shy, and then she talked about other trivial matters in fragments, and when she walked all the way to the relatively prosperous street not far from Su's house, a person suddenly came over to say hello and stopped the two.

The Su family has many families, and when they come back from here every day, they often meet some Su family members, some are willing to greet Ning Yi, and some disdain to talk to him, and a few times they will meet Su Tan'er going back from here, because there is a Su family cloth shop next to the street. At this time, the man came out of the Su family's cloth shop, and he was also in his early twenties, holding a folding fan, with a romantic appearance, and he arched his hand from afar: "Brother Ning, what a coincidence." Then he came over with two servants.

It is estimated that it was someone who was known to the owner of this body before, but Ning Yi couldn't recognize it at this time. In confusion, he swept his eyes, but saw that Su Tan'er's carriage was also parked on the side of the road not far away, and a small head shook in the cloth line, glanced at this side, and then ran inside, it was Xing'er who followed Su Tan'er, saw Ning Yi and Chan'er, so he ran to call Su Tan'er out.

The man smiled and gradually approached, although Ning Yi didn't know his name, but it was very simple to deal with this kind of thing, and he was about to say hello with a smile, Chan'er behind him pulled the corner of his clothes: "Uncle, that's Xue Gong of Dachuan Cloth Company." In his words, he was slightly uneasy.

Ning Yi reacted, although the person had never seen it, this person had indeed heard it.

After coming to this era, he pretended to have amnesia, and he inquired about his identity before, and it was always a simple life, but when the Su family, such as Chan'er Xing'er, talked about it, there were always some places to avoid it, such as the incident that Su Tan'er ran away on the night of marriage, and he was knocked on a brick.

But even if he avoided it, after a few months, Ning Yi already knew the things that he knew, and he secretly knocked on the bricks at the beginning, it should be Xue Jin of the Dachuan cloth line in front of him, Xiaochan was uneasy at this time, and she was probably afraid that Ning Yi would be angry and suffer a loss if she did something.

However, where would Ning Yi put a complicated expression on his face, and at this time, he nodded with a smile: "Oh, Xue Gong, hello." ”

He smiled naturally and had a peaceful attitude, but Xue Jin on the other side was slightly stunned, looked at the two attendants beside him, and then laughed again: "I heard that Brother Ning was accidentally injured on the day he got married, and he actually had some amnesia. The younger brother was originally there that day, but he left early because of something, and then he couldn't spare time, but he didn't go to visit, how could he ...... Is there really such a thing as amnesia? Brother Ning, can't he really remember his little brother? ”

On the other side, Ning Yi seemed a little embarrassed, with a sincere and thick apology, showing an apologetic smile: "The previous thing is really ...... Heh, Brother Xue, forgive me, forgive me......"

Xue Jin glared at him suspiciously with a complicated gaze, and at this time, at the door of the store opposite, Su Tan'er had already rushed out with a frown.
