son-in-law

Chapter 323
After leaving Jiangning for nearly a year, it is natural for Ning Yi to feel strange about some things in this city. If he can know the expansion of Zhuji in the past year, and the names of several new restaurants and teahouses in the city , presumably the doubts in my heart will be swept away.

In the past year, Zhuji has opened a total of three new stores. The first, Mingyuelou, has become one of the largest restaurants and entertainment venues in Jiangning. There are dining performances and various activities, and the store is very lively.The second one is a teahouse called Qingyuan, which is composed of courtyards or boxes with different styles, and most of them are places where scholars gather.As for the third restaurant, Yilanju, its style is between the two. It is not very popular, but it has a lot of music, and occasionally there are storytellers. It is similar to western restaurants in later generations. places to eat.

The three stores are actually transformed from Ning Yi's previous ideas, with different styles, but they still rely on Kang Xian's support behind them.Princess Chengguo's mansion in Jiangning has never been involved in the communication on the scene, but in fact it is a huge female body with intricate roots. Kang Xian issued an order to go out. When some shopping mall bosses cheered Zhuji, these people probably didn't know the order. It comes from this son-in-law.

Some things were actually done when Ning Yi left. He contacted some prostitutes who were not selling their bodies to sit in Zhuji, and bought some young boys and girls to train storytelling, juggling, performances and so on. A little help in the store.For these things, Ning Yi once took a sum of money from Kang Xian, saying that it was the copyright fee for the previous disaster relief booklet, but he took it with confidence.

However, Yunzhu felt that it was a loan, and in the past few months, she has been returning it to Kang Xian one after another. Kang Xian does not want it, but she is stubborn, and she feels that Kang Xian has been inquiring about Ning Yi. What is going on here? Still owe him money.In the end, Kang Xian had no choice but to take over, and secretly promoted the fame of Zhuji Mingyue Tower and Qingyuan. Large and small banquets went to Mingyue Tower, and literati gatherings or poetry meetings went to Qingyuan. This year, the poetry meeting of Lichuan Academy in Yuanxi was organized by him in Qingyuan, and his reputation was immediately established. After the year, Yilanju no longer needs his advertisement.

Arriving all the way to the son-in-law's mansion, after finding Kang Xian who was watching a play with his family, the first thing the son-in-law talked about was the development of Zhuji in the recent period.When Ning Yi came back from Hangzhou, he was basically clear about everything that happened during this period. There was no more trouble and mess, so there was no need to use these to be polite.

"...There is one thing that is very interesting. In the front hall of Qingyuan, a lot of poems were collected and hung on plaques. Your poems were placed at the front. When Lichuan Academy held a poetry meeting on Yuanxi, a sapphire case Putting it there, not many people dared to write lyrics to show their shame, and this matter has been talked about since then."

After saying hello to Zhou Xuan, Ning Yi followed Kang Xian to the back garden. Hearing what he said, Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "Is this too much?"

"Well, no..." Kang Xian waved his hand, "Of course Miss Yunzhu from your family helped you to publicize it, but I was there at the time. I don't know why, everyone always talked about your Qingyu case, and wrote Yuan Yuan that night. There are really a lot fewer people writing Xi Ci. Some people say that you have exhausted the beauty of your lyrics, and the meaning of the song is as comfortable as possible. Atmospheric, graceful to the extreme, if these people know, I'm afraid they will really... say you are a poetic poet..."

Ning Yi frowned: "How many songs in Hangzhou?"

"It's the one who often remembers the sunset at the brook pavilion, who is intoxicated and does not know the way back, returns to the boat late at the end of the day, strays into the depths of the lotus flower... a short song is like a dream, which makes people feel like it is in front of them. You can also use this kind of words I can write..."

After all, Kang Xian is a literati, even if secretly, like Qin Yuyuan, he values ​​practicality, but he who inherits Confucianism is not good at poetry.Ning Yi smiled: "That's not what I wrote."

"But other people are okay. You don't have to say that in front of the old man. Do you remember the other lines, the three mountains fall half into the blue sky, and the two waters divide the Bailuzhou. You wrote this poem in front of me and Siyuan earlier. At the beginning, it was only a broken sentence, but this time in Hangzhou, you filled it up. The Phoenix swims on the Phoenix Terrace, and the Phoenix goes to the Taikong River to flow. , the two waters are divided into Bailuzhou. It is always because the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not seen, which makes people worry..."

Kang Xian read it, and at the end, he couldn't help but sighed and shook his head: "If someone told me at the beginning, I wouldn't believe it. The poems are exquisite, and there is nothing for you to write. Only the last sentence , showing your flaws, always because floating clouds can cover the sun, and Chang’an’s disappearance makes people worry. When you wrote poems, you imitated the style of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it seemed that you didn’t bother to change it. I don’t know how much time you spent on such words and sentences... To be honest, I don’t believe that if you really say it’s all smooth, but this poem, to you, I’m afraid it’s not just a chanting, it’s just you... …Sigh, I don’t know how to say it, should I praise you, or scold you a few words to be worthy of myself. In short, with people like you, I am so embarrassed. I don’t know why I want you to write more songs in the future , or simply tell you to stop writing..."

All in all, when it comes to this, the old man sighed at first, and then became depressed.Ning Yi naturally understood the meaning. Kang Xian regarded these poems as written by him. Most people must have their own style when writing poems and lyrics, but the poems he copied before were all heroic and grand, so throw them to Liu But the watermelon was just smooth, and Li Qingzhao also threw it out.It was nonsense at the time, but in Kang Xian's eyes, these two completely different styles became another meaning.

Being able to play with several different styles of style can only prove that the author has gone far beyond this level, or that Ning Yi is this kind of ghost, enough to play with the text in his hands to the top.As long as he needs it, he can substitute himself into the style of the Tang Dynasty, and write poems such as "Climbing the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling", or completely different scenes such as "Xia Ke Xing" and "Like a Dream Order".

It would be hard to believe it if you just said it, but of course there are all kinds of geniuses in the world.Just like some genius mathematicians in modern times, their power is not because of the logic that ordinary people can understand, but because the numbers themselves are alive in their eyes.There must be such a person in any era. Kang Xian may not have seen similar ones. After he can be sure that the poem was made by Ning Yi, he can only regard Ning Yi as this kind of ghost after excluding all possibilities. , even if he is not in awe of poetry, the poetry itself is like mud in his hands, which can be rounded and flattened casually.For literati who have worked tirelessly for a lifetime, this is naturally a frustrating thing.

He already thought so, and Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh.After a long time, Kang Xiancai said: "It's good for you to hang these poems on the head of the traitor. I guess you don't care if you have a chance to rectify your name in the future. However, if you decide to go to Beijing, before that There is one thing I want to ask you... I could have talked about it in a few days, but I have thought about it for too long."

At this time, I have arrived in the pavilion in the center of the rear garden, and there is no one around. Kang Xian's expression became serious, and Ning Yi frowned: "What's the matter?"

"The things you did in Ba Dao Camp have been carefully considered by you. What exactly do you want to do?"

"For the time being, it is used to confuse people's hearts."

"Really?" the old man asked, staring at him with burning eyes, but Ning Yi's eyes didn't fluctuate too much, and only after a while, he smiled slightly.

"It's a taboo to go any further, I know. You're not the first person to ask me about this recently, huh..." Ning Yi smiled, "But you also know that within a hundred or so years, these Thoughts are useless at all, they are at most used to confuse those people whose ideas are too ideal. Minggong cares about this, which shows that you are also an ideal person."

The old man looked sternly, shook slightly, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course I know that these thoughts will be useless for a hundred years, but what are you thinking?"

Ning Yi thought for a while: "Then... let's not talk about Confucianism, but just use it, talk about something big and transform it?"

"Oh, you never talk about Confucianism. I'm not someone who can't understand the words. If you can explain the truth clearly, it's up to you."

"From ancient times to the present, every time a dynasty changes, what a country will look like has actually been decided since its establishment."

The lights shone over, and a little wave of light was reflected in the pool outside the pavilion. There was a faint sound of singing in the distance, and it was peaceful, but Ning Yi knew that the old man in front of him was not just welcoming him back, he was the smartest man in this era. Representatives of a group of people, there are some things that can't fool them. Some things written and said in the Badao camp have entered their ears, and they can see the clues of danger in them.Maybe he hasn't fully figured out the key to it now, and he may not take his handwriting too seriously, but if he really takes it lightly, the old man with a kind smile in front of him also has the ability to turn this place into a grand banquet... …and bold.

Therefore, he thought for a while and started with this sentence.

"The reason for saying this is that when each dynasty starts, the emperor or the ideological trend at that time will determine the dynasty..." He raised his hand and stroked, "It will determine what the ruling class of this dynasty values ​​more. If We only ask for one thing, for example, the country is strong and prosperous, that is very simple, reduce restrictions and let the local area develop, within three generations, as long as this country is still there, we can suppress the foreigners and recover Youyan, who says it can’t be done.”

"All dynasties perish with weakness, and the Han alone perishes with strength. We govern the country like the Han Dynasty, and then we can perish like the Han Dynasty. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have paid more attention to centralization and checks and balances. The emperor's art said that his subordinates should be equal. People are constantly suspicious and trying to achieve a balance. Now we are talking about how to revitalize the military. In fact, there is a very simple way. Suppose...here is just a hypothesis, assuming it can be done. Applying the standards of the Han Dynasty, within 60 years, if the Wu Dynasty is still there, then if there is still an inch of land for the Liao and Jin in the north, I will cut off your head."

Kang Xian looked at him: "Suppose?"

"Well, hypothetical." Ning Yi nodded: "The reason why it is hypothetical is because it is irresponsible. In the current situation, if this is really done, the princes will merge within 20 years. But I just want to say that , each dynasty, each generation, what the top focuses on is actually controllable, but there are not many directions to choose. If you fall in one direction, you have to give up other things. We chose the prosperous Jiangning today, so we can’t see it. The scene of tigers growing like clouds and stepping through Helan Mountain is all chosen by myself."

"so what?"

"Ming Gong, I know that Confucianism's so-called peace for all generations is to find the best state. But today we don't talk about it, we just talk about it. It will keep tightening, tightening, and tightening again. From ancient times to the present, why reformers have never had a good end, because any system will spontaneously maintain its own state and trend. Why did the Northern Expedition go wrong? , because this network is already intertwined, and whoever wants to flex his muscles will be covered in blood all over his body. Good and bad things are the same, because no one will have room to flex his muscles. This is the best for the country. This is the foundation of the country. It was decided at the time, and you are not allowed to move around! If this Northern Expedition is successful, we are really lucky, and we will use enough force, but what will happen next, can’t you see? The net will be tightened .”

Ning Yi tilted his head and smiled: "I came back from Hangzhou this time, and I have a lot of connections. There is a relative in the Su family named Song Mao and Song Yufan, who is a state magistrate in other places, Minggong, you know what will happen next, wait When he comes, he will come to visit me, and our interests will become stronger, but maybe he is a corrupt official, and I will be implicated by him in the future. This is a risk. The property of the Chengguo Princess Mansion belongs to the royal family. It seems that you are in charge of yourself, but you know what kind of connections are behind you. These people represent various interests. Qin Gong was assassinated by those businessmen who did not want to start a war with the Liao Kingdom. Sir, is there such a person behind you?"

Kang Xian frowned.

Ning Yi continued: "No one can move. At the beginning of the founding of the country, these have already been decided. Up to now, the current emperor can't change it. If he wants to change it, even he will have a bloody head. Maybe two generations are willing to take the risk. Such a danger to steer the country the other way, but who would dare?"

"Ming Gong, what you are studying now is Confucianism. Next, you can say that the principles of heaven and human desires are preserved, and the rules that people follow to live are clearly stipulated one by one. Men, women, saints, all are carved out of molds. This is Dao, but in terms of usefulness, it means that people can’t move, and they can’t move more and more. If the Wu Dynasty is the only one in the world today, and the Wu Dynasty will not collapse after 1000 years of development like this, this is to bring peace to all generations... But The country has enemies. We have chosen this direction. If we are surrounded by rules and regulations and all kinds of interests are entangled, in the end it will be the situation of the Northern Expedition today. I can't beat others, and I can't beat them more and more..."

"In fact, there is naturally a gap between what you said. It is really wrong. There are people who dare to change the law and dare to hit bloody people." After thinking for a long time, Kang Xian said slowly, "But it is basically the same as yours. It's similar, that's it, what does it have to do with what you did in the Naha sword camp?"

"It's a bit big to say that peace will be achieved forever. In fact, whether it is governing the country or doing politics, it is generally to check for omissions and fill in vacancies. It seems to be holding a steelyard, shaking it all the time. If there is a problem, it will be patched. The overall situation is always going to one. Going in the direction, Mencius said that there must be a king in 500 years, and a dynasty will end in 500 years. Because it is too tight, it is more and more difficult for others to have hope, and the resentment is getting bigger and bigger. Then there is a bang, and the weight falls On the ground, as soon as it falls on the ground, people will live worse than pigs and dogs..."

Ning Yi paused: "But maybe there is a way to avoid this, maybe it won't be the best, but it can avoid the worst."

"Is that what you did?"

"It's just a sentence, the minority obeys the majority."

Kang Xian laughed: "At that time, those who are behind you and those behind me, how can these few obey the majority?"

"That's a matter of details. Minggong, Confucianism has been passed down for so many years, and every generation changes, the superior is called the emperor. Cultural inheritance determines the way the entire rules and system exist. Suppose there is such a system in hundreds of thousands of years, three to five As the years change, someone wants to rebel, and if he has many people, he can go up naturally, so will there be people who will rebel? The years when people are not as good as pigs and dogs are gone."

"How can it be like this, talk when there are too many people, guessing fists? And do you know what the thief of Xiangyuande means? If you are in power, are you willing to give up the power in your hands? You have to beat these things dry in the few years you have been in power Clean! And to ensure the continuation of this method, you... Where do you put the Holy Spirit? Your idea is outrageous." At the end, Kang Xian lowered his voice subconsciously.

Ning Yi looked at him: "It's all side details, Mr. Ming, don't tell me you can't think of it. It is the culture that everyone believes in that determines what the dynasty looks like. Culture determines the system-I call it the system. If everyone It is the truth to believe that the minority obeys the majority, and some things will slowly come out...and that should be hundreds of years later. Everyone is saying that the minority obeys the majority, I just said it in another way .Ming Gong, let’s say something outrageous, if the Wu Dynasty can’t last 500 years, shouldn’t there be something new?”

"That's what you think..." Kang Xian sighed after a long time, "A... a new play house. Since Tang Dynasty, he wanted to reach the world of Datong, donate his family property to live in the mountains and live in the old and the old. There is more than one person living in the old life, and they all ended up sadly. Yours is different, so I took a closer look. Who knows... You are thinking about these things. This idea is too rebellious. You have to restrain yourself, heaven and earth Teacher, some things are immutable, how can we bargain for the general minority to follow the majority."

The old man talked about treason in his mouth, but in fact he didn't mean that kind of treason in his heart.Philosophy is the end point of all disciplines. Since ancient times, there have been many Confucianists who are rebellious and uninhibited. They have all kinds of ideas. Maybe no one mentions the overall situation to see why these ideas are formed. If you can’t think like this , "The Analects of Confucius" talks more about the principles of life, and half of "The Analects of Confucius" how to rule the world.

He is no longer vigilant about this, but it is because he is aware of the remoteness of the realization of this idea. It would be too much to punish people just because of the sentence "the minority obeys the majority".Confucianism also pays attention to the minority obeying the majority, but this is based on the concept of the same class, and what Ning Yi said just now is to spread this concept to everyone. If he wants to do something, he has already touched the world. If it is the core of class divisions like teachers, it is really treasonous, and he just said that this theory may be better, but it is just an overly bold discussion or experiment.Although Kang Xian disapproved, it was not to the point where he had to draw a clear line.

In Kang Xian's eyes, Ning Yi is just a Confucian scholar who wants to bring peace to all generations. Although he really doesn't pay attention to any Taoism and thinks too much about "use", these ideas may not be without reference Meaning, but without Tao, there is no soul.

After all, this is a young man who is too talented and thoughtful, he sighed: "The reason why you can succeed in Hangzhou is because you always jump outside the rules to do things, and your horizons are always wider than others, but If you blindly jump outside the rules, something will happen eventually, it’s not that you don’t understand these things, but if you’re going to Beijing next time, I think I have to remind you.”

"Hmm... But I'm still thinking about going to Beijing. Tan'er is about to give birth, and Privy Tong has already started to go north. After all, I don't understand the specific operation of the officialdom. I'm afraid that going to Beijing may not necessarily need me."

"Hey, it must be useful. He wrote to me when the incident in Hangzhou was reported to Bianjing. He told you to go up after you come back. You also said that there are too many rules. In fact, what is lacking is the ability to jump out of the rules. Those who take a look, but just take a look, those who can jump out of the rules, are afraid of breaking the rules, and then old man Qin may not be able to keep you."

"Teach me, I will pay attention to it, let's take a look first, let's talk about it after finishing the housework here."

"What is there to deal with here? If there are a few clowns in your family, I can help. But your wife is pregnant, and you have to wait for the child to be born before leaving. In addition, it is nothing more than Yunzhu's business. How to decide Is it arranged?"

"I'm having a headache. I'm here this time, and I want to ask your opinion."

"Huh?" Although it was Kang Xian who raised the question, he seemed very puzzled at the moment, "What's the headache?"

"A year ago, I thought about leaving the Su family and taking Yunzhu with me. Now I'm having a headache. Tan'er has already given birth to a child. Should I break up with Yunzhu? But to be honest, there is no relationship between me and Yunzhu Ordinary brothels or the dewy feelings of women who simply sell themselves... Heh, maybe everyone will see themselves like this. But now, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. This is purely self-inflicted. I want to hear your opinion, old man view."

"Ha...hahahahahaha——" The old man suddenly laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, and it didn't stop until he stopped slightly after a long time: "Haha... I was, just thinking, you Although this person has a tired and lazy personality, his abilities and talents are superior to others. If he was placed in troubled times, he might be a hero like Cao Cao, but he didn't expect... Haha, those things can be done casually, and at this time he is actually doing it for such a trivial matter Anguish, it's really...it's a bit hilarious."

Ning Yi looked at the old man and curled his lips: "Frankly speaking, I won't let go of any of them. I never thought that I would really let go. Playboys, men are unreliable, and people are not enough. What do others think? It doesn't matter, the real idea is: they are all my people. Why not? The reason why I ask you for advice is that I want you to talk more about a man who has three wives and four concubines, so that I can make this unreasonable and more Be more assertive."

Kang Xian spread his hands: "I don't know why you think this is unreasonable..."

"You know... the minority is subject to the majority... so all are equal..."

"That is to say, you, your wife, or Yunzhu... are all treated equally."

Ning Yi laughed. In fact, the trouble may not be as big as he said. Even in modern times, in the circle he came into contact with, the messy relationship between men and women is the norm.But if he is an ancient man, he will sincerely consider men and women in completely different positions in his heart, and he is a modern man after all. After he really pays attention to each other, everyone will really stand on the same line. Find the center of the fun.

Kang Xian also looked at him for a while, and finally patted him on the shoulder, his expression became a little serious: "Ning Liheng, Ning Liheng... To be honest, before, the old man regarded you as an interesting and interesting person after all. Potential and capable young friends will look at it, but after talking tonight, I can finally say that there is no learning before and after, and those who have mastered come first. You and I can sit and talk without distinction, are you really thinking about it? These things, but... Hahahahaha..." He said, and couldn't help laughing again, "You are too self-confident..."

Feeling that Ning Yi has really implemented these thoughts into his life, amidst the laughter, the old man also completely eliminated some of the thoughts just now and the grudge of "rebellion". Of course, this is a misunderstanding...

"A man with three wives and four concubines is such a nostalgic matter. The meaning is to let you not take women's affairs too seriously. There is nothing unreasonable about this. I have nothing to say. Your wife respects you quite a lot. , and have a child again, naturally you shouldn't abandon your wife, otherwise you are no different from a beast. Miss Nie is so gentle and virtuous, and she is waiting for you to come back because she is not greedy for your family property. It is also right to be a regular wife. She really likes you, so she will be happy with you no matter how you treat her. If you miss this woman, it will be difficult for you to find a second one in your life. The old man has dealt with them a lot recently. If you I'm sorry for her, I asked Agui to grab you with a cloth bag and sink into the Qinhuai River..."

The corner of Ning Yi's mouth twitched, and then he laughed heartily with a "haha".

************
It overturned a very big plot line before, what exactly it is, probably can't be revealed until the fourth episode is finished.In the next period of time, when there may be no way to control it, I will try my best to post a single chapter or post a post in the book review area whether it is a code word. Posts are usually posted between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the evening, and I can’t be sure If you post a post, it must be accurate. The standard is that if you really don’t write well, you still have to suppress it. But posting a post is a reminder to myself. I will always think about it, and I can’t sleep. so.

Well, go to bed, good morning everyone.
