Chapter 109 Apprenticeship

"I heard that my husband was in the limelight last night..."

I thought I was doing something hidden last night, but who knew that everyone in the family had already known it when they came back from running. After all, he could not hide the actions of others at that time, so naturally he could not hide them from the Su family and Li Pin next to him, and was ridiculed as an interesting thing. In the morning, Su Wending and others came over to say it, and at this time he was also brought up by Su Tan'er.

"I'll give you five hundred taels at a time, my son-in-law will pay a lot." When he brought the rice porridge with a bowl, Xiaochan said with a smile. Juan'er, who was beside him, turned around and said softly to Xing'er: "Abscond." In fact, he was familiar with Ning Yi, and this was also a joke. Everyone could hear the sound of words. When Ning Yi raised the spoon in anger and was about to hit him, he ran away with a smile.

"Okay, okay, my husband hasn't been there much before, so please don't make fun of this."

Although 500 taels of silver is indeed a big sum of money, Su Tan'er just found it interesting about Ning Yi's incident last night. She didn't mind at this time. When everyone sat down, she asked inadvertently: "Does my husband know Yuan Jin'er?"

Ning Yi thought for a while and said, "I'm not very familiar with each other, but I know another one."

Xiaochan's eyes lit up: "That white dress that sings the water tune? When Mr. Wending came over in the morning, she said she sang well and used a new singing method. She originally thought it was the son-in-law's singing method, but after I sang, Mr. Wending said it was no." She laughed and hummed a few more lines in her voice, looking happy: "Is this good thing taught by my son-in-law?"

"I'm so awesome." Ning Yi grabbed a tube of sour beans, shook his head and smiled, "Xiao Chan, you are an amateur player, you can't compare to it."

"Um." Xiaochan pursed her lips, then lowered her head to drink porridge. Xing'er asked there: "Who is she?"

"Who should be a girl who admires my husband's talent and learning?" Su Tan'er smiled.

"I'm very awesome. I've saved her before." Ning Yi replied, and then while drinking porridge, he talked about the morning when Nie Yunzhu chased the hen and fell into the river. From the clumsy pursuit of the hen to the later incident, he was slapped and slapped. The expressions of the people in the room were strange.

"Is it the one Nie Yunzhu who sells pineapple eggs and has some tangled relationships with Gu Yanzhen, right?"

"Gu Yanzhen...tsk..." Ning Yi shrugged without objection.

At this time, breakfast time had already finished, and he talked about some trivial things about Nie Yunzhu. Su Tan'er occasionally looked at Ning Yi, and then chuckled: "My husband is so good. If he has the chance, he would want to meet this Yunzhu girl..."

"No one knew her last night, so it's better not to spread the word."

"I know."

There is still a lot to say if you want to continue, but for Su Tan'er, it is time to go out to deal with some things, and he can only suppress some ideas for the time being and look at Ning Yi who is as usual. In the past two days, she took Chan'er and Juan'er out of the house in the morning, and Ning Yi planned to go to the yard next to the academy to sort out the small laboratory. As soon as noon came out of the yard and walked around the academy, he saw two carriages parked at the door of the closed academy, and it was still the carriage of the Prince Kang's mansion. Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu, the brothers and sisters, and several guards, seemed to have just knocked on the door and found that no one was there, and came here. Lu Agui's figure in the guards, and he greeted him in surprise.

"I just came here, but I didn't expect that the academy had closed. I was about to transfer to Su Mansion, but I didn't expect that I would meet here. What a coincidence."

"Haha, the situation has been tense these days. Maybe the city gate will be closed at any time. So yesterday, the academy held a meeting and it was temporarily closed."

The two of them exchanged a few greetings, Ning Yi looked at Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu next to him, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Lu is here, why are you? Haha... it's not just to kick the house again, right?" He looked at the siblings and joked.

"How dare you?" Lu Agui shook his head quickly, "We are here..."

"My sister and I are here to become disciples!" Before Lu Agui finished speaking, Zhou Junwu had already inserted himself in and looked very sincere. Zhou Pei, who was standing beside him, was stunned and slightly embarrassed. She looked at her younger brother and looked at Ning Yi: "I...I still have questions to ask..."

Ning Yi looked at her and couldn't help laughing. Lu Agui coughed a few awkwardly from the side, probably because he knew Ning Yi's personality and wanted to make a few words. Ning Yi thought about it and looked at Zhou Pei: "I heard that you have good arithmetic?"

Zhou Pei looked at him, blinked his eyes and thought for a while before humming softly: "Yes."

"Ask you a few simplest questions. Once you answer them, you can ask me the question. How about it?"

"...Okay." Zhou Pei hesitated for a moment before nodding, then turned around, "I'll get paper and pen."

"No need to take it, it's the easiest." Ning Yi smiled. After Zhou Pei turned around in confusion, he stretched out a finger, "Tell me what this is?"

The little girl looked at her fingers, then Ning Yi looked at her fingers, and Ning Yi turned her eyes twice, frowned, and was thinking about Ning Yi's sophistry and tricks. After a while, she finally spoke cautiously: "Master Chen once said, one is one, two is two, right is right, and wrong is wrong. If you want to confuse these basic things, they are all sophistry..."

She said this slowly, with a righteous look. She was watching Ning Yi's reaction. Ning Yi's fingers moved slightly in the air: "Uh, is anyone saying this? Who is Mr. Chen?"

"Mr. Chen Qiulan, Master Chen, is a guest minister of the Kang Prince's Mansion, a great scholar of the times, and often interacts with my master." Lu Agui said next to him.

"Oh." Ning Yi nodded, his finger still stretched out, "It makes sense, but after saying so much, what is this?"

"…one." After a moment, the answer was short and powerful.

"Oh." Ning Yi nodded and stretched out his two fingers, "How many are this?"

"Two." This time, the little girl raised her head and looked like she was talking to see what tricks you could play.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The next three fingers: "What is one plus one equal?"

"Three!" The answer is still loud.

Ning Yi withdrew his hand and laughed. Zhou Pei in front and Zhou Junwu next to him, Lu Agui was still subconsciously waiting for Ning Yi's fourth question. Seeing Ning Yi's expression, Zhou Junwu reacted "ah". Zhou Pei blinked: "What are you doing? You haven't continued to uh...?"

Zhou Junwu and Lu Agui both laughed beside each other, and the little girl reacted and her face turned red: "You, you, you, you are cheating... how can you..."

"Ha, you're thinking too much... Be polite in life. Otherwise... do you want to be a debtor?"

"I...I'm not bad at the account, what do you want!"

"What's wrong? Just kidding, but I don't have to answer your question now." Ning Yi shrugged at Lu Agui, "It must be difficult, it's great not to answer." Lu Agui also laughed there. Zhou Junwu raised his hand, his eyes shining: "I, I, I, I don't want to ask questions, Mr. Ning, can I become a disciple?"

"The academy is there, and anyone who wants to enter can enter. But now it's closed. You find it interesting. When you open the door, you will pay the tuition fee to attend class."

Ning Yi said casually, and Lu Agui whispered: "Actually, if possible, Prince Kang hopes that Liheng can go to the royal palace to teach, and it is best to have a guest official position in the royal palace. I know Liheng doesn't like being an official, but this guest official has nothing to do with it, just receive some salary every month. I wonder what Liheng wants to do?"

"How did Prince Kang know me?"

"It's a long story. In fact, Prince Kang has only heard of Li Heng's reputation. This is the mouth of my master. If I could, I hope that the two little princes and princesses would teach some useful things. Of course, the position of guest officials is mainly based on Li Heng's meaning."

Ning Yi thought for a while: "Then... I'd better thank you for your kindness. I don't know much. It doesn't matter if I have two more disciples. Come to the class and I will teach you what I can. If I can't go to the palace, I'd better forget it. I'm a weird person. It doesn't matter if I tell stories when there are many people. If I teach it alone, I really don't know what to teach."

Zhou Junwu pulled Lu Agui's clothes next to him, and then happily expressed: "I also think the academy is good, and there is also my sister... sister?"

He looked back at his sister and saw Zhou Pei suffer a silence. At this time, he was still bowing his head and sulking. However, Zhou Junwu was still very happy, and then turned around and said, "It will be interesting for me and my sister to come to the academy at that time." It seems that he always feels boring to study at home or to participate in private schools of some great scholars. At this time, he doesn't get a new place to play. Lu Agui thought for a while: "Since Liheng said that, I will report it like this. It's not a big problem. But there will be about one or two people accompanying him on weekdays. Of course, I will never disturb Liheng's class."

"I understand this." Ning Yi nodded, and the few people followed the carriage, followed by several guards behind. Not long after, Ning Yi asked: "What Brother Lu said is long, what exactly does it mean?"

Lu Agui thought for a while and then said softly: "Actually... the little prince and the little princess happened to hear what Li Heng said in the classroom a few days ago. I don't know what Li Heng said, but..."

He explained it locally, and Ning Yi then realized what had happened.

"The master has been thinking about what Liheng said these days. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Liheng's words. Sometimes he also says that Liheng is distorted and disagrees. This is unreasonable, but in general, he is probably talking about it by Liheng. If there is no problem today, he would have to accompany the two little princes and princesses. Haha, I know the master's character and must have a argument with Liheng, but letting the little princess take Liheng as his master also said it himself. Today I just came to ask Liheng for advice. The master said that according to Liheng's character, the little princess must come here in person to show politeness. When he really gets to become a disciple, it will not be so simple. Prince Kang also has to come forward. With such courtesy, Liheng has to be prepared..."

Lu Agui laughed while talking, and then mentioned another thing to Ning Yi.

"Oh, what Liheng said just now, it will be the first or two days to close the city gate. Today is the thirteenth day and the fourteenth day. When the fifteenth year of the year, every household will worship their ancestors. Many people will lose their family outside the city, for fear that something will happen..."

Before he could finish his words, the rapid sound of bells and gongs came from the east of Jiangning City. The carriage stopped here for a while. Then everyone turned their heads and looked over there. The many houses were separated by, so naturally they could not see the scene clearly. However, in this moment, the whole city seemed to be much quieter, and a sense of oppression came from the east. Then, the faint noise and chaos began to grow.

"What happened..."

It was almost noon, and on the street, Ning Yi heard Lu Agui murmuring...
