Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Best Gift in the World
If the changes in He Yu and Gong Yihuan still can't make Tang Ning feel the power of time, then Shen Kuo's changes are really a magical thing that makes Tang Ning shake time.
In the past, Shen Kuo, due to the influence of the Wutai poetry case, was despised and spurned by everyone in the Great Song Shilin. But if you want to develop in your career, you should avoid it.
However, when the academy ended class this afternoon, Shen Kuo, who returned to Mengxi Garden, was accompanied by four or five people dressed as students.
I have to say that power is indeed a burden for people like Shen Kuo. Without the restraint of power, Shen Kuo can show his talent in this era unbridled.
The affairs of the hundred schools of thought and the collection of the strengths of the hundred schools of thought are Shen Kuo's academic propositions, and they are also very in line with the development trend of the era of the Great Song Dynasty.
Gong Yihuan, a broken carpenter, after being praised by the emperor, his status has risen accordingly, which means that the Great Song Dynasty did not directly put a conclusion on a person because he was a Confucian or some other identity - at least not now.
Shen Kuo was very happy to see Tang Ning. However, he was still in his study first, and after answering the doubts of the students who came back with him, he came to entertain Tang Ning.
"It's been more than a year since I left Runzhou, but there have been a lot of changes here." Tang Ning drank the tea that Shen Kuo poured for him, and said with great emotion.
When Shen Kuo heard this, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, I've seen Gong Yihuan?" ”
"Yes, that guy has become a merchant now, and I still like the old carpenter."
"If the old man tells you that all his apprentices are public losers, I wonder how you will feel?"
"Nouveau riche." Tang Ning sighed again: "It is not unreasonable for the public loser to fall to this day. ”
Shen Kuo nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject: "I heard that you captured Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Chapter and Ali Gu alive in Qingtang, why didn't the old man hear the news of your promotion for a long time?" ”
"I was promoted, but I was promoted not by the position but by the official rank, and I was given a Dingyuan general."
"It's five grades, it's not up or down, it's a good start."
Tang Ning laughed and said half-jokingly: "Capturing Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter and Ali Gu alive is also a five-grade Dingyuan general, so what kind of military merits do you say to be able to be a marquis?" ”
"Marquis?" Shen Kuo's eyes widened, but he quickly calmed down. Because in his opinion, it doesn't seem impossible for Tangning to become a marquis.
So Shen Kuo pondered for a moment and said: "How can it be that you have to capture your sister Le Du Lai alive, Ren Duo Bao Loyal, Wei Ming Ah Wu, Liang Yi Lai This kind of level can be successful." ”
"That's right, but I guess I won't even touch them." Tang Ning shrugged his shoulders, since he learned that the ultimate target of the Zhenjiang Army was the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he had lost interest in Western Xia.
As Zhao Xu said, Tang Ning is a person who won't do things if he doesn't put him in things. This guy is loose by nature, no
If you're stressed, just stay where you are.
This made Zhao Xu both helpless and relieved. Fortunately, people like Tangning have no interest in power, and they can trust him, although not completely, but compared to other people who are bent on climbing to a high position, Tangning's threat is far less than that of others in the same position.
Helplessly, it was impossible for him to be by Tang Ning's side all the time to supervise him, so Zhao Xu simply threw Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures out.
Because he knew that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could not be obtained overnight, and it would take a long time for Tang Ning to complete this ultimate goal.
Zhao Xu's strategy was successful, at least Tang Ning began to think about how to take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun when he had nothing to do now.
chatted with Shen Kuo about some messy things again, and Shen Kuo suddenly said, "The old man's book is ready to be presented to the official family." ”
"Thank you for figuring it out, you didn't spread that thing all over the world."
The old man thought about it for a long time and felt that what you said was right. There are a lot of skills in this, and if they are learned by the Liao and Western Xia people, it will be really amazing. ”
Tangning nodded, but did not speak.
Instead, Shen Kuo looked at Tang Ning thoughtfully and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”
In the end, it is the elder of the little fox, the old fox, who can see through Tang Ning's mind at a glance.
What I am afraid of is the shame of Jingkang that will come more than 20 years later, which is an unforgettable disaster for the Han people in this land.
"Nothing." Tang Ning finally shook his head.
Master asked, and he dared to say. Shen Kuo asked, he didn't dare.
God knows if this guy will play his words to Zhao Xu again, Su Shi didn't dig out his heart before, he just wrote a few poems and sent them to him, this guy took it out of context and harmed Su Shi and is still drinking dew in Danzhou......
Tang Rather than take his whole family to other wilderness mountains to drink dew, so this kind of thing can only be hidden in his stomach and cannot be told to anyone.
……………………
After chatting with Shen Kuo about a lot of other things, Tang Ning left Mengxi Garden.
When they returned home, Wang Shi and the others also came back, a group of people were lively, and Tang Yu was now the center of the whole family.
When Tang Ning saw his daughter, he couldn't help but say that he wanted to go up and hug him, but it was rare for a while, and it was dinner time.
After the meal, Tang Ning saw that his daughter couldn't grab it in Wang Shi's hands, so he prepared to go out and eat less.
Qi Xianyu also followed, Tang Ning turned his head to look at her, smiled and did not speak.
The two of them walked all the way down the side of the Dream Creek.
With Tang Ning, a good neighbor, and Shen Kuo's generosity in order to whitewash himself, the living environment of the residents in the east of the city has been greatly improved compared with before.
The two families together contributed money to the residents
The house is neatly repaired, the fallen tiles are re-tiled, and the unpainted ones are painted for free.
The sunset lay on the red bricks and green tiles of the houses, and the dream stream at his feet also made the sound of rushing water.
In the distance, you can hear the sounds of children playing and women calling their children home with their husbands for dinner.
The air was filled with the smell of burning firewood and the aroma of food.
Perhaps because the knot in his heart has been resolved, the scene that Tang Ning hadn't noticed before seems so wonderful at this moment.
Qi Xianyu always wanted to say something, but she looked at Tang Ning as if he was enjoying the natural atmosphere, but she couldn't say anything. He could only swallow his sleeves with two hands, twist his sleeves, and follow Tang Ning with his head down.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
Downing walked forward for a while, then walked back again. Sitting on a stone bench by the stream, he took out a cushion from under the stone chair and shook it, put it beside him, and motioned for Qi Xianyu to sit down.
This is where Tang Ning met his master, and it is also the place where he told Wang Shi the story of the White Lady.
He thought it was a good place, and before he left Runzhou, he told Lao Fang to let him get a bench here.
With the clear water and fields in the distance, it is a great choice to sit and enjoy the scenery.
"You look...... I like kids. Qi Xianyu wanted to slap himself as soon as he spoke, he obviously wanted to explain to Tang Ning why he was avoiding him, but how did he become like this when he opened his mouth?
Tang Ning pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. He leaned his back against the back of the stone chair, turned his head, and looked at Qi Xianyu, who was a little nervous.
Qi Xianyu couldn't resist Tang Ning's gaze, and soon lost the battle, looked down at his toes, and said softly: "Actually, I left because of ......"
"Needless to say." Tang Ning grabbed Qi Xianyu's hand that had nowhere to put it, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "You are studying medicine, and you should also know that men will not be able to reproduce for many reasons, right?"
I thought I was one of them a long time ago, until the first time you said to me that you might be pregnant. Do you know how happy I was at that time?
Although you were false to me that time, now, you have brought me the best gift in this world.
Yesterday I told you that I would never forgive you, that was angry words.
I want to thank you for your willingness to give me this opportunity, and thank you for bringing Yu'er into this world.
Maybe in your eyes, I'm not a good husband. But in the future, I will try to be a good father. ”
Tang Ning said, took Qi Xianyu's hand and kissed it gently.
Qi Xianyu had already burst into tears.
The water of Dream Creek is still flowing, and there are not many voices in the east of the city. The children who were playing outside returned home, and a lonely and restless heart finally stopped wandering.
