Chapter 20 Guessing
"I know no one believes it if it says this, but... there are some things I really don't want to do. Whether it's a talented man, a reputation, or a fame, I don't want to touch it. This... is true."
Ning Yi's tone was calm, but the persuasiveness contained in his words was beyond doubt. He was answering this question seriously, without any force, no difficulties, sincere and open. He seemed to be a young man in his early twenties, and once a dull literati. If he was the nerd before, he would probably stutter even in front of Mr. Qin, but at this moment, his temperament must not be ignored. With this figure, he looks transcendent and free and easy, and does not restrict everything. If this temperament is in a middle-aged man in his forty-fifty years, he will be mature and steady, and he will be rich and spend a lot of money on his words.
It is precisely this that his answer made the two more confused. For someone like Mr. Kang, the meaning of being able to ask this sentence is definitely not simple. Moreover, with the current way of dealing with him, Mr. Kang is not a deal with him, so he needs to repay anything. If an ordinary person is an ordinary person, he may suddenly be stupid for arrogance or some refusal, but Ning Yi is definitely not such a naughty person. In the other party's doubts, Ning Yi smiled helplessly.
"Ha, I understand that this is confusing, but..." He gently pointed his forehead, "You two may not know that they had been on their heads a few months ago and woke up after several days. They had forgotten about the past, and they were really hard to worry about fame and fortune. As for lingering with a group of talented men, they really couldn't raise much interest in the favor of women. However, the children in the school made people feel interesting. They occasionally told them a story and were noisy, otherwise they would feel comfortable coming to the riverside, playing chess and drinking tea. They also had some interesting ideas in their heads, maybe they could take it slowly. Now I am satisfied with this life. As for rolling my eyes, why bother him? What will happen in the future? I still can't figure it out. But Ming Gong's good intentions can really pay attention to it."
He bowed and nodded: "This matter is remembered in my heart."
This passage naturally has true or false words, but of course it is impossible to tell them the truth. It is the best way to link this mood to the fact that you have been beaten to amnesia in your head. One-on-one-two-five-six-six-two. There is no need to explain this reason, it is natural and reasonable without giving the other party a sense of overwhelming worry. It’s just that this problem has occurred on your own.
Sure enough, after saying this, Kang Laoqin and the other two were a little confused. Ning Yi said the memory loss again, and the other party was stunned. Kang Xian shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect this to happen." Only when he lost his memory, his thoughts were a little strange.
Then Mr. Kang stopped mentioning those things and drank a cup of tea. Ning Yi picked up the whiteboard and charcoal, said goodbye and went to Yushan Academy. When the figure disappeared at the intersection in the distance, Mr. Kang sighed: "I didn't expect that this section would be beaten like that and showed a calm mind. Among young people, those with such mind are indeed rare, but it's a pity for that talent."
Mr. Qin smiled and took a sip of tea: "He is only in his early twenties now, and how he will become in the future? How can he say it accurately now. With his talent, he can't avoid what he should encounter. Just look at today's things, some things are worrying...Ming Gong and Li Heng are too pragmatic."
Kang Xian frowned: "You said that, it's true. His poems are all good sentences, but he doesn't care about the way of poetry. Oh, when will the bright moon come to the southeast branch... I can also write calligraphy at will, and so many of them can reach such a height. I am afraid that it is just a pastime. In his eyes, these things are not as interesting as the chalk... "
Mr. Qin nodded: "Practicality is a good thing, but if you are too pragmatic and straightforward, you may have trouble in the future... Although Liheng is a man who knows how to seek profit and avoid harm, he is young and energetic after all, and he is still quite arrogant in some things. He is unwilling to perfunctory the tests of those students, so he pushed the invitation and did not cover up in front of you and me, probably because of this..."
He thought about it and then laughed: "There is no need to think too much about this. I can only make friends with chess. It is too much to worry about it. Since I know the idea, I will just look at what happens in the future."
Over the past few days, the name Ning Yi has caused some big or small waves in Jiangning City. Those who can learn about the water dialect and the name will naturally have various speculations and opinions. Most of the views are actually simple, but if they are closer, they will gradually become complicated. For example, the two elders of Kang and Qin, such as many people in the Su family, are close relatives, in charge of affairs, servants, etc. If they are closer, they will undoubtedly come to Su Taigong and Su Boyong. Then Chan'er Juan'er Xing'er. For a few days, Xing'er often uses "sharing the moon together for thousands of miles" to make fun of the two. Chan'er is a little mentally prepared. As for Juan'er, he is really shot while lying down. He is always blushing and so embarrassed that his face will burn into a hot teapot. He complains to Chan'er privately: "Why do you want to write this sentence..."
So in the past few days, she lowered her head and hid away when she saw Ning Yi.
Among these people, Su Tan'er is naturally the most complicated one. To be fair, what she cares most is not how talented her husband is or how strange his personality is, but: she can't understand him anymore.
She originally married Ning Yi because the other party was simple and could easily understand the person. Even if she became a relative and married into the family, she could participate in the Su family's career without criticism. Although the marriage is still in name only, she has accepted the other party more or less. Next, it is just a matter of time.
Who knew that at this time, I realized that I could not see through this husband at all.
Of course, there are only clues in this matter at this time. My husband seems to be indifferent, not like a person with a ulterior motive. Su Tan'er is also a quiet and intelligent woman, and may not be panicked. However, when dealing with various shops and things, what she thinks in her heart will inevitably stop at this matter. In such years, no matter how smart or independent a girl is, as long as she marrys someone, who can really care about her husband?
In the past few days, I have been busy managing many silk and cloth shops in the Su Mansion in Jiangning. In my spare time, I asked Juan'er to go to the alley where Ning Yi used to find out the news. However, in the business, I occasionally contacted acquaintances would ask: "Will Ning Yi Ning Liheng be your husband?" Then I sing the water to praise him.
After getting married, she should have brought her husband to meet someone she met before, so she could confirm that she had a husband and she was more convenient when she was getting married. However, when she got married, she played a little, and Ning Yi was knocked out again. After that, it was time to cultivate. Now, the way the two got along was almost fixed, and they only had some conversations when eating at home. Although her attitude towards Ning Yi was natural, she became a relative, and she was more reserved and arrogant. Therefore, until now, except for the last time she proposed to attend the Puyuan Poetry Conference, she has not yet invited Ning Yi to go out and participate in something together.
Now, it is probably even harder to propose.
Inquiry from all sides and collecting news about Ning Yi, I actually did it once before getting married. Most of it was asked by my father and grandfather. She also went to see it with a few maids, and asked Chan'er Juan'er Xing'er to inquire about Ning Yi's reputation. The news I got at that time was just a simple nerd, and my talent was not very good. Of course, people would not be stupid enough to study, otherwise they would not have accepted the Su family's suggestion to marry in. In this year, a man would probably have accepted his fate if he wanted to marry into another family.
However, when Juan'er was asked to go over and inquire, the news she got was a little different.
Most of the evaluations are naturally just like before. Ning Yi did not have a strong presence in that alley. Some people still emphasized that it was a man living in a certain courtyard several times before he remembered: "Oh, there is such a person." Or, "That stupid nerd, I heard that he went to a place to marry into a family and the yard was sold." "I probably think I can't get a fame or fortune." Such statements account for the vast majority.
However, there were two or three schools that said: "Oh, Liheng, I knew he was amazingly talented, but he was always low-key and steady, and he didn't want to compete with others. Those who were like those talents, who didn't have much ink in their hearts, just like to show off. This is called a bucket of water without sound, half a bucket of water swaying... Girl, you came to inquire after hearing about the water-tick song head..."
"It's because of marriage. Liheng's child is a honest person, and the engagement must be kept..."
"The third aunt next door and the second uncle Niu at the entrance of the alley, they all said this. The maid gave them fifty cents each..." Although he was just a little maid, Juan'er's ability to inquire about the news should not be underestimated. Thinking about it, he laughed and said his own opinion, "But the maid felt that they had said this after listening to the water-tick song head, and they couldn't count it. Unfortunately, Master Zou, who taught his son-in-law, had passed away last year, and the maid went to inquire. The maid's wife almost didn't remember the son-in-law. She just knew the purpose of the maid, and she still said something good. Master Zou's widow's family didn't seem to be very good. The maid gave two cents of money on his own initiative and also brought some bacon, which was given in the name of his son-in-law."
"It should be like this..." Su Tan'er nodded and then laughed, but what accompanied it was still full of doubts. When inquiring about the news, it was not necessarily true that others believed whatever they said. Although I also got some good words this time, the basic information was still the same as before. However, after Juan'er investigated another direction, some seemingly correct guesses gradually revealed their outlines to Su Tan'er.
"The old men I met when my son-in-law went to play chess by the river. I'm afraid that the one I know the most clearly now is Mr. Kang, who spoke to his son-in-law at the Shishui poetry meeting that day..."
"Huh?" Ning Yi's reputation before amnesia was confirmed. So if something really happened, it should be after amnesia. Ning Yi ran to the river to play chess and met several chess friends. She also knew that it was not a survey. The news she received at this time really scared her. She was able to know this husband, and she didn't know whether it was luck or something else. The information she received later shocked her.
The news from the Shishui Poetry Conference only said that Kang Hyun was a great Neo-Confucian scholar, and his achievements in all aspects were so respectable. However, some of the backgrounds hidden behind them were not covered up too much, but they were just not mentioned. Once investigated, they were already investigated.
Kang Xian Kang Mingyun was not only a master of calligraphy, but also a master of Neo-Confucianism. At the same time, his other identity was the princess of Chengguo and the royal relatives. Although the Wu Dynasty had always been extremely strict with the royal relatives, the princess of the royal relatives could not participate in national affairs and became an official in the court, the princess of Chengguo was the dear aunt of the current saint. Speaking of this, Kang Xian was actually the uncle of the current saint. Even if he was just a rich and idle person, such an identity was really expensive and could not be reached by merchant families like the Su family.
Once this news was revealed, the shock brought by the initial one was indescribable. Su Tan'er was a little confused for a moment, but after a moment of shock, a relatively clear clue gradually came in front of her.
"How did the son-in-law make friends with such a big man? Chan'er said that they just went there randomly and played chess casually, and then they got to know each other." Juan'er was puzzled, and then became a little hesitant, "But speaking, the identity of Mr. Kang and the identity of his son-in-law...ah..."
Juan'er dared not say the following words, but it was enough. The way of doing business is to filter all kinds of information at all times. Sometimes some clues seem difficult to believe, but when other clues are filtered out, the rest may be such news.
Are the husband's identity and the identity of Mr. Kang... both are son-in-law?
For Su Tan'er, although this answer may seem a bit bizarre to ordinary people, it is already the answer closest to the core.
Husband... Maybe he just had some contact with the other party while playing chess, and maybe he didn't know the other party's identity at all, but the two did have such common ground. The identity of the prince-consort seemed noble. He married the princess, but in fact he married into the royal family. With the other party's talent, he would never be an official in his life and could not show his ambitions. It is not difficult to understand that he would have a sympathy for his husband when he saw him. In this way, it is no wonder that he wanted to block the conversation at the Shishui poetry meeting and make his husband famous...
The water tune song head, my husband said that the Taoist priest passed by the door. Not only did my grandfather not believe it, but I absolutely did not believe it, because Xiaochan would definitely not lie to me. The Taoist priest recited a poem, could it be sung by it... Or was it really a trick of my husband's hand, or it was done by Mr. Kang, which was hard to say. She didn't care too much now. After all, she was confused before and felt that there were doubts everywhere. Now she sorted out a line, but she suddenly realized that she didn't mind some things.
My husband is actually indifferent in character, and he is not annoying in his words and actions. He doesn't care about his talent, but he doesn't care about it. He doesn't mind getting married, and he's not going to be more happy. At the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, I didn't expect that there would be such a dark scene. If it were Kang Xian's plan, it might be the joke that the old man was joking on a whim.
"Look at me, I will scare your wife and family..."
Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible. Although my husband is calm, he may not be content with his son-in-law's identity at such an age. Although his grandfather is unwilling to treat him seriously and he does not want him to be discriminated against, it is inevitable that his son-in-law's identity will be occasionally discriminated against. People always have these and those thoughts. This is the hurdle he has to overcome. Even if he wants to show his talent, it is understandable.
In this way, my husband...does he really want to tame himself, a restless little girl...
Some things have been decided, but they will not be changed. This is the main premise. She had no requirements for recruiting a husband or getting married, but one day she would accept the Su family's family business, which is the key point. With this premise, her husband can only marry into a husband. She thought so in her heart, but she didn't hate the things she guessed in her heart, and even had a hint of like.
There are no more possibilities, isn't it?
So on the way home, she smiled softly and warmly...
This is a very personal laugh, and even Juan'er and Xing'er in the carriage did not notice it...
