Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter 53: Not All of Them Are Proud Snow and Cold Plums
The carriage stopped at the door of Zhou Huai's house, and Lao Wu went in to ask Tang Ning's master for a book, and then came back and drove the carriage to the city.
Tang Ning had been sitting in the carriage and peeking, but he didn't see Shi Niang, and he was a little disappointed. However, there will always be a chance to see it in the future, and I am not in a hurry at this time, so I should hurry up and finish the things that the master explained to me, and then take Lao Wu to find a restaurant for a meal.
In the morning, I was picked up by the master's ears, washed and went out. Saying that he was making up for his own progress, Tang Ning followed the morning class, and then listened to another afternoon class in the afternoon, and now he was sleepy and hungry, sitting in the carriage yawning and listening to his stomach gurgling.
The book in his hand was wrapped in a cloth towel, and he couldn't tell what it was. But it's very thick to the touch, and it doesn't seem to be a nameless book. According to the preferences of the ancients, it is estimated that it is either the "Analects" or the "Spring and Autumn Period", and they always can't get enough of these things.
I came to a familiar place again, and when I first came to Runzhou, I walked from here to the street. Speaking of which, I don't seem to have visited Zhang Zhizhou, who took care of me at that time, for so long, do you want to find an opportunity to visit?
Maybe after half a month, it will be a good opportunity to solve the problem of drinking.
Lao Wu knocked on the shop head on the gate of the Wang family and shouted for the gatekeeper to open the door, it seems that he and the gatekeeper of the Wang family are not generally familiar. Tang Ning held the book under his arm, yawned loudly, and then shook his face vigorously to sober himself up.
The porter dug his nostrils and opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he was very dissatisfied and said to Lao Wu: "Can you be quieter in the future?" What should I do if I disturb the nobles? Besides, there are more than one of us living on this street, aren't you afraid of embarrassing your master? ”
Lao Wu said with a smile: "The one who lost it is not our family's, I didn't call our family's name." Without waiting for the porter to refute, he pointed to Tang Ning and said, "This is the apprentice of my master, and I am also the student of your nobleman." This time, I came here to return the book for my lord, and I also asked for trouble. ”
The porter looked Tang Ning up and down, and Tang Ning showed a harmless smile. The porter nodded and said, "Then, the two of you will wait here, the master is not at home, I will ask the lady." ”
Lao Wu nodded, and then watched the porter close the door. Tang Ning stepped forward and said, "You seem to come often?" ”
Lao Wu smiled: "The old man and Mr. Zhuliu were originally old acquaintances, and I don't know how much I did when I was in Tokyo City, and I didn't know how much I did when I traveled together."
Later, the old man resigned, and Mr. Zhuliu wanted to go with him, but unfortunately caught up with the death of the Duke of Qiguo, so he mourned at home and missed it with the master.
I heard that after serving three years of filial piety, he moved out of Tokyo City with his family and searched for his lord. I met in Runzhou because of your business before, and the two have often interacted with each other since then, and the villain, as the old man's coachman, is naturally familiar with the porter of the Wang family. ”
After listening to Lao Wu's explanation, Tang Ning remembered that Zhou Huai suddenly laughed when he talked about Wang Zhongxian's son at home before, so he pretended to ask casually: "Speaking of which, I seem to be studying with the young master of the Wang family in the academy." Old Wu, how much do you know about the young master of the Wang family? That's not a very good guy to get along with......"
"The ...... of the Wang family Master? Lao Wu repeated with a stunned face, and was about to speak, when the door suddenly opened. The porter grinned and wanted to be punched in the face.
"Madame said that you should come in, and said that there were students visiting the door, and this is the first time." The porter bowed to Tang Ning and said, "Son, please come in." ”
Seeing this, Lao Wu jumped into the carriageway: "Then, I'll go and park the carriage at the corner of the street." ”
"Hey, you wait a while......" Tang Ning stretched out his hand and shouted, but Lao Wu turned a deaf ear, Tang Ning glared at the porter angrily, and looked at the porter inexplicably for a while.
Suddenly, he said, "Childe, maybe the villain made a mistake, but has Childe ever been here......"
Tangning snorted from his nostrils, "I've been here." "After that, he looks like a master who looks up at the sky.
The porter worships very much, worthy of being a reader, this momentum, this look of eyes above the top, is simply the most typical reader, although the girl has also read, but always does not have this strength, always makes people feel that something is missing, now when I see Downing, the porter knows what the girl is missing.
Tang Ning's neck was a little sore, and he secretly thought in his heart that this porter had no eyesight at all, why didn't he lead the way? So he looked down at the porter.
The porter bowed his face sideways, his mouth pursed to show a smile, and when he saw Tang Ning looking down at him, he was a little inexplicable, so he blinked his eyes and made a puzzled voice at Tang Ning: "Huh? ”
Tang Ning was also a little baffled, he hadn't 'huh?' He said, 'Huh? So he also made a voice not to be outdone: "Huh? ”
The porter looked dazed, didn't understand what Tang Ning meant, blinked his eyes and said, "Ask one more ...... Well? ”
"Uh-huh, why don't you lead the way?"
"Oh, I heard you say that you came here once before, and the villain thought it was ......"
Tang Ning cried and laughed: "I don't come every day, lead the way, I don't know your family yet." So saying, he threw out a tael of silver.
The porter took it in his hand with a smile, and after closing the door, the silver tael was hidden by him somewhere, bent down and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Ning, and took the lead in leading the way.
The scenery is similar to the last time I came, but the flowers and plants in the front yard are far less purple and red than when I came last time, but sparse.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the season is almost winter, and the flowers and trees that should be withered are almost withered.
There is only one kind of cold plum in the world, and more of it is the peony rose that competes for beauty in spring and summer.
The porter took Downing all the way through the front hall and into the main hall, which was the way to receive Downing as an ordinary guest. Tang Ning's hanging heart was put down.
Although Wang Zhongxian seems to have a big opinion of himself, he is actually not so exaggerated. That's right, I skipped class for eight days, although I didn't say hello in advance, but I also prepared a lot of such and such things, and sent a lot, so I should be angry.
After the porter took Tang Ning into the main hall, several maids came over to him, of different ages, some looked like they were in their thirties, and some were very cute girls with little tiger teeth.
Tang Ning was a little at a loss, did he come to someone else's house as a guest, or ......
After the porter bowed to Tang Ning, he turned around and went back to his work. The very young girl brought a copper basin filled with warm water and asked Tang Ning to wash his hands, although Tang Ning didn't know what the situation was, he still put his hand in and washed it well.
Then the two maids gave a salute and retired, and then a servant came over and asked Tang Ning to follow him.
Tang Ning pulled his legs and wanted to run, Wang Zhongxian was setting up a dragon gate array for himself, this is not a good sign, the more he is treated as a distinguished guest now, the more tragic the end will be for a while.
At this moment, Wang Zhongxian came in from the door of the main hall in a leisurely manner, and after seeing Tang Ning, he was also taken aback, and subconsciously said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Tang Ning glanced at the servant who saluted Wang Zhongxian, then at Wang Zhongxian, walked forward with a blink of an eye, stuffed the book under his arm into Wang Zhongxian's arms and said, "My master asked me to return the book, and I returned the book to you, so I will leave, no need to send it!" ”
After saying that, I wanted to run.
Wang Zhongxian was a little inexplicable, stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Ning and said, "It's all here, let's have a meal and leave." You went to the academy so early this morning, and you didn't eat, did you?
I didn't see you at noon, calculate the time, it is estimated that you were sent over by Brother Jinyu after you got home, so let's stay for a meal and then leave.
Come on, come on, the old man has just arrived home. Hehe, you are blessed today, today is the lady herself cooking. ”
Tang Ning looked at the enthusiastic smile on Wang Zhongxian's face, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he broke away from Wang Zhongxian's hand and said with a reluctant smile: "No, no, no, the cook at home will cook and wait for me to go back to eat, if I don't eat after I go back, the cook will be sad......"
Wang Zhongxian didn't force it, and let Tang Ning leave, but suddenly a voice came into Tang Ning's ears.
"Stop! Didn't you just say you wanted to see me? What, want to run? There are no doors! ”
