Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter Fifty-Seven: Attacking Your Weaknesses
Taught by a woman.
It's still about spending money, and this is the second time!
This made Tang Ning very unaccustomed, especially when Aunt Niu said with a sad face: "Why don't I go and pick up some needlework to supplement the household ......", an extremely strong feeling of being despised by these two women spontaneously arises.
This is typical machismo, Downing knows it in his heart. So he was in a hurry to prove his skills, which is why he stood at the gate of the Shen Mansion early the next morning, waiting for the servant who went to call Shen Kuo to come back and open the door for him.
Shen San is a warm-hearted person, perhaps because of Shen Kuo's advice, he offered to help Tang Ning go to the academy to ask for leave. After thanking the other party, the servant also walked out with Shen Kuo's reply and invited Tang Ning to enter the door.
Shen Kuo was a little puzzled by Tang Ning's early morning visit, but he still walked out to greet him.
"I thought that only people of the old man's age would get up early, but you are now the age of snooze, and getting up so early is a bit unexpected by the old man." Shen Kuo walked out with a smile, how to think of a kind old man - if it was the first time to contact this person.
Tang Ning had already had immunity to Shen Kuo's deceptive appearance, and pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Old Shen, I didn't come to chat with you, that plan will start right away." ”
"Old Shen...... When did the old man get acquainted with you to this extent? Even if it is an apprentice brought out by the people of the mountains and wilderness, he must know some etiquette after entering the WTO. Shen Kuo said to Tang Ning dissatisfied, and seeing that Tang Ning was still holding his arms and looking at himself, he continued to ask, "What's the matter?" How do you want to start today? Didn't you say find a night? ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said: "I can't wait, there is no money to spend at home, hurry up and solve this matter for you, and then you go to Shi Jian Jiu to say a few words, start making money as soon as possible, and have a decent meal at home." ”
"Tut-tut......" Shen Kuo clicked his lips, standing under the eaves and looking at Tang Ning condescendingly, this face was no different from the villain who had just won the will, and said with a smile: "Life is so worrying?" Do you regret joining the WTO? Do you feel comfortable living in the mountains now? ”
Tang Ning snorted and said, "This feeling is especially strong when dealing with an old thief like you. ”
Shen Kuo's old face was flushed, and he began to realize that he might not be able to fight Tang Ning in terms of mouth cannons, so he was very entangled in his heart.
On the one hand, he hopes that his wife's heart disease will soon get better and become the original appearance. On the other hand, he hoped to teach this stinky boy who was disrespectful to him some lessons, but now it seems that this person came today with the consciousness of spitting on his own face.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my chest, and was about to wave my sleeves to drive away this little ghost who was upset when I saw it, but suddenly remembered the craftsman I found when I was writing carpentry a few days ago.
He is not tall, but his temper is not small, when he saw himself, he found out what he meant, and without saying a word, he threw over a Luban lock, and said in a very proud tone: "I want to know our things, it's not that I can't do it, unlock this and then come to me!" ”
This craftsman is quite famous in Liangzhe Road, and many wealthy businessmen will also send people to him to make utensils. Shen Kuo, who was stunned, wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, but after thinking about it, if he didn't have this person's help, maybe his book would be missing.
may have some flaws in life, but Shen Kuo will never allow himself to have flaws in his studies. Carefully put away the twelve-pillar Luban lock, and told the carpenter that when he unlocked the Luban lock, he must tell himself all the skills he knew.
Perhaps moved by the respectful attitude shown by Shen Kuo, who had lived for almost a year, the carpenter also put away his proud posture and said to Shen Kuo that a gentleman is difficult to chase.
Shen Kuo wanted to say what kind of gentleman you are a stinky carpenter, but after thinking about it, it was better not to say it.
When he got home, he fiddled with the Luban lock for several days, and finally he didn't unlock it, he was able to unlock the six pillars, but the twelve pillars were a little difficult for him.
However, Tang Ning is said to be a disciple trained by the hidden immortals in the mountains and wilderness, and he is a veritable disciple of the immortal family, a twelve-pillar Lu Bansuo, and he can't help it, right? If you let him do him this favor, it will save a lot of work, and you can get the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, Shen Kuo almost laughed out loud, he was really fed up with his intelligence, he was still so good at almost sixty years old, how could this make others embarrassed.
"You wait here, your request can be agreed to by the old man, but you have to do the old man a small favor......"
"Forget it, anyway, if your wife is sick, you are not in a hurry, what am I anxious about? There are ways to make money, and it's not bad for this one......"
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Why are you like that...... Such a ......" Shen Kuo's hands trembled like chicken paws, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with an appropriate adjective to describe Tang Ning.
"Don't play according to the routine?" Downing laughed.
"The cards are ...... What do you mean? ”
"Oh, it's said to be my master, a way of playing games. If you don't talk about this, will you cure this disease or not? If you don't cure me, I'll leave, and I don't dare to say that there is no cure for this disease in the world, but for now, you can only find me. ”
"Okay, let's go, don't send it!"
Shen Kuo is also a fierce man who hates people in the officialdom and hates ghosts and can finally get out of the end, the old traitor is not counted, but at least in terms of being a man, the word chicken thief can't escape.
He was very keenly aware of Tang Ning's bluff, although he said something like 'I don't care' and 'there are many ways to get rich', but in the end, if he really had a way, why did he find himself in the first place?
But thinking of it at the beginning, Shen Kuo thought that this kid seemed to be talking nonsense when he first saw him, and he forgot to mention this topic because of other things at that time.
What does he mean, that's a book he wrote? How do you not know?
Tang Ning was expressionless, turned his head and looked at Shen Kuo, who had his hands in his sleeves and said calmly, "Then I'll go." ”
"Let's go, let's go." Shen Kuo waved his hand at Tang Ning and smiled kindly, just like an elder who sent his juniors out of the house.
Tang Ning nodded, and then walked out without looking back.
One step out, another step out...... Why doesn't this bad old man call himself! Hurry up and shout slowly! Hurry up and stay here!
At this time, Tang Ning turned his head and pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Old Shen, I'm really leaving......"
"Yes, look at your reluctant appearance......" Shen Kuo sighed.
Tang Ning was overjoyed, this is to keep himself!
“…… The old man will personally send you out! Shen Kuo walked out from under the eaves as he spoke, walked to Tang Ning's side, and grinned at Tang Ning, revealing a mouthful of teeth that were neither white nor yellow.
"Ah, old man, you'd better show me that thing! Oops, what is it? I'm so curious! ”
This time the confrontation with Old Man Shen was that he lost, and he lost all his face. This failure taught Tang Ning a lesson, that is, never use those inexplicable routines to trick these old thieves.
Being old and not dying is for thieves, this sentence is for people like Shen Kuo.
Thinking about it, the Wutai poetry case that made such a big move, as the initiator of all this, Shen Kuo actually retired from the officialdom unscathed. After retiring, his reputation was damaged, and his family, and even himself, had nothing to do.
Zhang Fangping, the guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, was implicated in this incident, and even Sima Guang, the boss of the old party, was implicated in this incident, but Shen Kuo had nothing to do.
Just the point that he had just figured out today was enough for Tang Ning to have a new understanding of Shen Kuo.
"Haha, stinky boy, teach you to be a good man, never play tricks with us old men, you are tired of playing with us.
Forget it, the old man is in a good mood today, so he won't worry about these things with you. You come with me, and the old man will show you the problem that has plagued the old man for four days and three nights! ”
Tang Ning followed behind with a pout, a look of chagrin. But Shen Kuo laughed proudly, and the evil qi he suffered on Tang Ning finally came out all at once!
