Chapter 109: Apprenticeship
"I heard that Xianggong was in the limelight last night......
I thought that last night's events were hidden, but who knew that when Lu Dao came back from running, everyone in the family already knew about Lu Dao, after all, he could hide his actions at that time from others, so naturally he couldn't hide from the Su family and Li Pin next to him, and he was ridiculed as an interesting thing. In the morning, Su Wending and others came over to talk about it, and at this time, they were also mentioned by Su Tan'er.
"Give five hundred taels at a time, my uncle is generous." When holding the bowl of rice porridge, Xiaochan said with a smile. Juan'er on the side turned around and whispered to Xing'er: "Loser." In fact, I am familiar with Ning Yi, this is also a joke, anyone can hear the words, and when Ning Yi raised the spoon to hit him angrily, he ran away with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Xianggong hasn't been there much before, so don't make fun of it."
Although five hundred taels of silver is indeed a lot of money, Su Tan'er only thought it was interesting about Ning Yi's incident last night, and she didn't mind it at this time, and only after everyone was seated did she ask casually: "Xianggong knows that Yuan Jin'er?" ”
Ning Yi thought for a moment: "It's not very familiar, but I know another one." ”
Xiaochan's eyes lit up: "The white clothes that sing the head of the water tune?" In the morning, when Young Master Wending came over, he said that she sang well and used a new singing method. Originally, I thought it was my uncle's way of singing, but when I sang it, Young Master Wending said no. She laughed as she spoke, humming a few words in her throat, and looked self-satisfied: "Is this good to be taught by my uncle?" ”
"People are amazing." Ning Yi took a tube of capers, shook his head and laughed, "Xiaochan, you are an amateur, you can't compare." ”
"Hmm." Xiaochan pursed her lips, then lowered her head to drink porridge, and Xing'er asked over there, "Then who is she?" ”
"Let's talk about the girl who admires Xianggong's talent." Su Tan'er smiled.
"It's called Nie Yunzhu, it's very powerful, I saved her before." Ning Yi replied, and then while drinking porridge, he talked about the morning when Nie Yunzhu chased the hen into the river, from the clumsy pursuit of the hen to the fact that even he was slapped later, and several people in the room had strange expressions.
"It's the ...... Nie Yunzhu, who sells loose eggs, and then has some entanglements with Gu Yanzhen, right? ”
"Gu Yanzhen............ Tsk......" Ning Yi shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
At this time, breakfast time had already been eaten, and she said some trivial things about Nie Yunzhu, Su Tan'er occasionally looked at Ning Yi, and then chuckled: "Xianggong said so powerfully, if I had the opportunity, I would like to meet this Yunzhu girl......"
"No one knew her last night, so it's best not to spread the word."
"The concubine knows the way."
There is still a lot to say about it, but for Su Tan'er, it is already time to go out to deal with some things, and for the time being, she can only suppress some thoughts and hope that everything will be as usual Ning Yi. In the past two days, there have been more and more things, she took Chan'er Juan'er out in the morning, and Ning Yi planned to go to the courtyard next to the academy to tidy up the small laboratory. Coming out of the courtyard near noon, when I went around the direction of the academy, I saw two carriages parked at the gate of the academy that had been closed, it was still the carriage of King Kang's mansion, Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu, the two sisters and brothers, and a few guards seemed to have just knocked on the door, and found that no one was coming over this side, but there was a figure of Lu Agui among the guards, and they said hello in surprise.
"I just came over, I didn't expect that the academy was closed, and I was about to transfer to Su Mansion, but I didn't expect to meet here, what a coincidence."
"Heh, the situation has been tense these days, and I don't know when the city gate will be closed, so there was a meeting in the academy yesterday, and it was temporarily closed."
The two exchanged a few words, Ning Yi looked at Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu next to him, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Lu came here, what is the matter?" Scold...... It won't be for kicking the gym again, right? He looked at the siblings and quipped.
"How dare you." Lu Agui hurriedly shook his head, "Let's come over ............"
"My sister and I came here to apprentice!" Before Lu Agui finished speaking, Zhou Junwu had already intervened, putting on a very sincere appearance, but Zhou Pei on the side was stunned, slightly embarrassed, she looked at her younger brother, and then looked at Ning Yi: "I...... I still have questions to ask ......"
Ning Yi looked at her and couldn't help laughing. Lu Agui coughed a few times with a little embarrassment on the side, probably knowing Ning Yi and wanting to say a few words. Ning Yi thought about it and looked at Zhou Pei: "I heard that you are very good at arithmetic?" ”
Zhou Pei looked at him, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, before he snorted lightly: "Hmm." "Ask you a few simple questions, and if you answer them, you can ask me questions, how about it?" ”
“………… Good. Zhou Pei hesitated for a moment before nodding, then turned around, "I'll go get a pen and paper." ”
"No need to take it, it's the easiest." Ning Yi laughed, and only when Zhou Pei turned around suspiciously did he stretch out a finger, "Tell me what it is?" ”
The little girl looked at her fingers, then at Ning Yi, then at her fingers, Ning Yi, her eyes turned twice, she frowned, and she should be thinking about Ning Yi's methods of sophistry and deception. After a good time, he finally spoke cautiously: "Master Chen once said that one is one, two is two, right is right, wrong is wrong, and if you want to confuse these basic things, it is all sophistry......"
The words were said slowly, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and she was watching Ning Yi's reaction. Ning Yi's fingers moved slightly in the air: "Uh, did anyone say that?" Who is Master Chen? ”
"Chen Qiulan and Master Chen, who is a guest of King Kang's Mansion, is a great Confucian in the world, and he often has dealings with my master." Lu A* said next to him.
"Oh." Ning Yi nodded, his fingers still extended, "That makes sense, but after all that, how much is this?" ”
"One." After a pause, the answer was short and forceful.
"Oh." Ning Yi nodded and stretched out two fingers, "How many is this?" ”
"Two." This time there was no hesitation, and the little girl looked up, looking like she was saying to see what tricks you could play.
Then three fingers: "What is one plus one?" ”
"Three!" The answer is still loud.
Ning Yi withdrew his hand and laughed, Zhou Pei in front of him, Zhou Junwu and Lu Agui next to him were still subconsciously waiting for Ning Yi's fourth question, seeing Ning Yi's expression, Zhou Junwu reacted "ah". Zhou Pei blinked: "What's the matter, why don't you continue to uh ......, Ka?" ”
Zhou Junwu and Lu Agui both laughed next to them, "The little girl reacted at this time, and her face turned red: "You, you, you, you cheat...... "How can you ......?"
"Heh, you're thinking too much...... Be polite. Otherwise, ........., do you want to pay the bill? ”
"I ...... I'm not sorry, what do you want! ”
"What's the matter? Just kidding, but I don't have to answer your question now. Ning Yi shrugged his shoulders at Lu Agui, "It's definitely difficult, it's good not to answer." Lu Agui also laughed there. Zhou Junwu raised his hand, and his eyes were about to shine: "I, I, I, I don't want to ask questions, Mr. Ning, can I apprentice?" ”
"The academy is there, anyone who wants to enter can go in, but now that the door is closed, you think it's interesting, and when the door opens, you can go in and pay the tuition and go to class."
Ning Yi said casually, "Lu Agui whispered: "Actually, if possible, Prince Kang hopes that Liheng can go to the palace to teach, and it is best to have a guest title in the palace, I know that Liheng doesn't like to be an official, but this guest secretary is not very compulsive, only to receive some salary every month." I don't know what to do with Liheng's intentions? ”
"How does Lord Kang know about me?"
"It's a long story," in fact, Prince Kang had only heard of Liheng's name, "This is opened by my master." "If you can also hope that the two little princes and little county lords under your command can teach some useful things, of course, the position of the guest secretary" is also based on the meaning of Liheng. ”
Ning Yi thought for a while: "That"... Thank you for your kindness, I don't know much, it doesn't matter if there are two more disciples, come to the class to listen to the class, of course I will teach what I can teach. But forget it about going to the palace, I'm weird, it doesn't matter if I tell some stories or something when there are a lot of people, if I teach it alone, I really don't know what to teach. ”
Zhou Junwu pulled Lu Agui's clothes beside him, and then said happily: "I also think that the academy is good, and my sister is ...... Sister? ”
He looked back at his sister and saw that Zhou Pei had suffered a dumb loss, and at this time he was still bowing his head and sulking without speaking. However, Zhou Junwu was still very happy, and then turned his head: "When the time comes, it will be interesting for my sister and I to come to the academy." "It's always boring for him to study at home or participate in some Confucian sī juku, and he can't get a new place to play at this time. Lu Agui thought for a while: "Since Liheng said so, I will report it like this, and the problem is not very big." However, there will probably be one or two people accompanying you on weekdays, of course, it will not disturb Liheng's class. ”
"I understand that." Ning Yi nodded, and several people followed the carriage all the way, followed by a few guards behind, and after a while, Ning Yi asked, "It's a long story that Brother Lu said, what do you mean?" Lu Agui thought about it for a while, and then said softly: "Actually......... A few days ago, Li Heng said what Li Pin and Li Dexin said in the classroom, the little prince and the little county lord happened to hear it, I don't know what Lu Dao Liheng said, but "......"
He explained it as it was, and Ning Yi knew what had happened to Lu Dao.
The master has been thinking about what Liheng said these days, and it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Liheng's words, and sometimes says that Liheng is deviant, how can this be true, but in general, I am afraid that Liheng will be on the point. If there was nothing to do today, I would have come with the two little princes and little county lords. Hehe, I know that the master is xìng ge, and I have to reason with Liheng, but letting the little prince and the little county lord worship Liheng as a teacher is also what the master himself said. Today I just came to ask for Liheng's opinion, the master said that according to Liheng, it is polite to come in person by the little prince and the little county lord, and it will not be so simple to stay until the real apprenticeship, and the prince Kang also has to come forward, the number of etiquette is so, and Liheng has to be a little prepared,..."
Lu Agui laughed and talked, and then mentioned another tenon matter to Ning Yi.
"Oh, Fang Cai Liheng said, closing the city gate, it is these two days, today thirteen and tomorrow fourteen, stay until the fifteenth middle yuan, every household sacrifices to the ancestors, there are many people who have lost their families outside the city, I am afraid that something will happen......,..."
Before he finished his words, the rapid sound of bells and gongs came from the direction of the east of Jiangning City, the carriage stopped here for a moment, and then everyone turned their heads to look over there, separated by heavy houses, naturally they couldn't see the scene clearly, but at this moment, the whole city seemed to be much quieter, and the sense of oppression came from the east, and then, the faint noise and chaos began to become louder.
"Something went wrong......"
It was close to noon, and on the street, Ning Yi heard Lu Agui muttering......,...............
