son-in-law

Chapter 570 Undertake
Voices rang out occasionally.

It was still cloudy outside, and in the simple courtyard, people occasionally walked by, and some people occasionally looked in from the outside, and then ran away.

In the main hall where the guests were entertained, when he took the tea tray from the black and thin teenager and placed the tea beside the main seat and the guest seat, Hongti heard the two talking about topics that she did not understand very well.

"...Liheng also studied Confucianism. In the past, what books did you read?"

"...when Xiang Xue was studying, most of the Analects of Confucius, Zuozhuan, and Doctrine of the Mean were learned... The Analects of Confucius is better..."

"...It's the right way, but the old man remembered that in those days, the teacher was quite disapproving of the mean, hehe, he said that the book was useless to read, it was far from the Dao... The old man looked at it more because of this..."

"...Actually the avenues are connected..."

Because Ning Yi's current identity is difficult to identify, and he quietly returned with Hongti, not many people were disturbed in the stockade.Apart from the old man's greeting outside the courtyard gate, there was no other welcome pomp.At this time in this small courtyard, everything happened, just like an ordinary mountain woman brought her new uncle home. Some people were curious, but no one was making a noise. In the living room, it was just a simple and simple conversation. Big waves.In the courtyard, the men were silent, while the women were doing their own things curiously, guessing in a low voice what was going on.

"Speaking of which, Liheng's family is in Jiangning, and this old man has been there once, but I don't know how Jiangning is now..."

Liang Bingfu sat on the master's seat, talking to Ning Yi with a slightly serious expression, his eyes wide and his spine straight.Ning Yi also respectfully answered the question on the side chair.Hong Ti in the room was silent. She looked a bit like the newly married daughter-in-law and Ning Yi's sister. She first brought tea for the two of them, then rubbed Liang Bingfu's shoulders, and then Ning Yi sat down on the seat next to him, lowered his head slightly, his eyes were calm, but sometimes he felt bored, so he put his hands between his legs.

After talking about Jiangning's situation, the old man asked about Hangzhou again. He drank all the tea in the cup and went up to add the red tea.The old man tapped on his cane and smiled slightly: "Hongti, if you feel bored, go out and do other things. You're going to keep him here for dinner later. You can ask someone to prepare it."

Hongti nodded, looked at Ning Yi, Ning Yi waved his hand with a smile, and said silently, "I'll accompany Grandpa Liang."

After a while, Hongti left the room and gently stroked her hair.Several men in the courtyard pretending to be bored and walking around quickly went to the side.At this time, most of the people who can be here are the old people and core members of Qingmu Village, as well as their family members. They are preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Hongtibei also goes to help, washing vegetables and fruits under the eaves, and occasionally looking back. Look at that room.

After a while, she waved to the black and thin boy who was in charge of taking care of Liang Bingfu, and asked him about the old man's physical condition today.In the conversation vaguely entering her ears, of course she knew that the old man's physical condition was not as energetic as he showed.

In fact, although Ning Yi did not have high attainments in orthodox learning, he was in contact with Confucian masters like Qin Siyuan and Yao Zunian every day.Liang Bingfu was only a middle-aged man, and his knowledge had not been studied for many years. It is definitely impossible to ask Ning Yi.After chatting for a while, it was basically Ning Yi who said that he was listening.However, after all, the old man has supported the stockade for so many years, and occasionally he will express some opinions when he thinks of something.

Although it was summer, the afternoon passed quickly, and it was already dark in a short while.After dinner was ready, the tables and chairs were set up, and the old man was still sitting upright, chatting with Ning Yi.At this time, I have already talked about the work in charge of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the situation in the north, and the situation at the border. Ning Yi started with Zhang Jue and told the old man one by one. These things can't be dealt with perfunctorily, the old man Listening carefully, when he heard that Zhang Jue was dead, he sighed heavily, and when he heard the reactions of all parties, his right hand clenched the handle of the crutch and trembled slightly.After dinner, Hongti wanted to persuade him to rest, but the old man just waved his hand: "You go out, Liheng and I... Let's talk."

Hongti walked out of the room and went outside the courtyard.It was still cloudy during the day, and at night the light of the stars and the moon was not visible. There were two torches burning in the valley below and on the gate of the rear courtyard.She looked down in this faint light for a long time, and the two men who were most important to her were chatting inside, which was also a very complicated feeling for her.

After a long time, she went into the yard and lit the lantern under the eaves.Hearing the creaking sound, Ning Yi came out of the room with warm yellow lights opposite, stood there and looked at her for a while, then raised two fingers in front of him and shook it with a smile.

"Grandpa Liang, he..." Hong Ti walked over.

"I'm already asleep." Ning Yi whispered, "The old man is really energetic."

"He was strong."

"I know, but this also means he attaches great importance to this matter. This is his test for me..."

"Grandpa Liang didn't make things difficult for you either..."

"Yeah, but I also attach great importance to this matter." Speaking in a low voice, the two walked towards the courtyard gate as if walking, Ning Yi smiled, "These things the old man did, in fact, Respectful, he carried a lot of responsibilities... just like you."

"I... I'm not as busy as Grandpa Liang."

"The division of labor is different."

The wind in the summer night blew from the mountainside, and when he walked to the road overlooking the valley, Ning Yi squatted down, and Hong Tiben squatted down with him.In the valley, every household has had dinner, and there is not much entertainment at night. People are huddled and chatting on the road between the houses. The sound of children playing and chasing comes from the darkness. In the distance, Luliang Waiji The side is more lively and a little chaotic.Hongti pointed to the bottom to introduce to Ning Yi, where is the residence, where to store supplies, where to build a new house, where something happened, and so on.

After a while, I introduced several courtyard groups below the mountainside, which are where the "guests" who came to Luliang gathered this time.He Yuanwai, who has a background from the Qi family, the messengers sent by Dong Pang'er, the generals who came from Wu Shengjun, the hero who is known as the invincible player in the Central Plains, the big brother in the nearby Luliang Mountain... Most of them have their own goals. Or they have a mission, and so on, and there are those who really think that Hongti is recruiting relatives by martial arts. These days, they have tried every means to contact Liang Bingfu.And because Hongti didn't come back, Liang Bingfu kept pressing and dragging things.

"Since I've come here and you've come back, don't make the old man so tired. In the next few days, let's settle these matters." Ning Yi whispered, "You basically know their identities, right? ?"

Red Ti nodded: "I know."

"Well, Zhu Biao will come to me later, and I will explain it to him. In the next two days, I will probably know what to do. Before that, please take me to see the progress of 'that thing'. ."

"Okay." Hongti stood up, raised his hand, and pointed to a place behind the side of the mountain, vaguely, in the darkness over there, a dark red light seemed to be emitting.

Not long after, the two walked along the mountain road towards that side.It was a blast furnace workshop hidden in the mountains.For Ning Yi, it was not the purpose of his coming here, whether it was a member or a messenger, or the Zhao An Zhao that shook the north of the Wu Dynasty.Outside Luliang Mountain, the Jin people gradually reached their peak, and the Mongols swept in and expanded. The inconspicuous Luliang Mountain was short in inches and long in length. Sometimes, when I think about it, I feel a little boring.

But of course, there are also things of great weight here, like the crazy woman in the mountain village, like the old man who finally fell asleep from exhaustion, like the owner of a village with patches sewn on his clothes. The woman, sometimes made him think again of the simple words she said when he first met Hongti: "I don't live like a human..." Relatively speaking, the jumping of a group of clowns is really boring and helpless.

However, even with such emotions, these trivial problems have to be resolved after all before doing the things that invite him.That night, Ning Yi and Hong Ti went to see the improvement progress of the blast furnace and a little steel produced. After being entrusted by Ning Yi, Hong Ti and Liang Bingfu did their best on this matter, although the progress is not much now. , but he has done his best - he then met with Zhu Biao, and after explaining the investigation of the outsiders in the cottage, he began to plan more exploration ideas in detail.

At the same time, on the side of Lu Liang, on the cottage that originally belonged to Xiao Xiangma, the reunification of the bandits had reached the final moment.Early the next morning, they set off with the soldiers. In the evening, they arrived in Qingmu Village. As the envoy of King Tianhu of Jin, they were settled and entertained.At the same time that she asked Hongti to meet, she also began to ask people about the identities of other people who came over this time, and then responded quickly and began to join forces and visit various houses.

It was also in the evening that Ning Yi was on the hillside, holding a monocular, and saw her in the team entering the mountain.At this time, the lenses of this telephoto lens were polished by hand, and even the best products were not so clear that he held the lens barrel and looked at them for a long time.

"Wow, is that... Lou Xiaowan or Lou or something... Where is Shu Heng..." He looked around for a long time with the telescope, and after thinking for a while, Ning Yi handed the lens barrel to Zhu Biao next to him .

Then he was a little happy: "Ah, at least it's a good thing to know why he was beaten..."

Of course, that night, Ning Yi did not go over to greet this old friend who had reunited after a long absence.

Lou Shuwan met him again a few days later...
