The matter about martial arts is not so urgent. Since the few people at home don’t agree with the Xiaowu Pavilion after seeing it, they can be put on hold for the time being. At worst, they can just go to Geng Huyuan and others to compete in the future.

When he was in Jiangning, he actually considered a while to discuss with Geng Huyuan and others at home. In his opinion, the previous few times he had to fight with someone was based on calmness, calculation and the ruthlessness that could be taken advantage of, and the lack of conditioned reflexes developed after long-term battles. This is not something that can be practiced by taking shortcuts.

He also knew that going out to be a disciple is not realistic, such as Cheng's leader of the Baidao Alliance, or through Kang Xian, you can naturally find people from the martial arts world who have a few chances. Even Lu Agui who is next to Kang Xian is probably not simple. These people are related to each other, and it is okay to be a disciple, but such things have different concepts. For him, it is not easy to bother these people very formally. Originally, there is a gap in the status of martial arts in this article. If he goes to be a disciple and expresses "I don't really care about this", such behavior is actually too frivolous. Unless it is really a relationship between friends and brothers, it is difficult to do this.

It is easier to find a family member directly. He taught Geng Huyuan's son to study. Geng Huyuan respected him and was not very good at taking action. This is not a big problem. It will be done after a while. But the key is that the people in the Su family in Jiangning are basically the same as Su Tan'er and the three maids in terms of concepts. Even if they are hostile to him, they all feel that he shouldn't really touch any martial arts.

That time he convinced Geng Huyuan and basically settled the opinions of Su Tan'er and others. He practiced at home for a few days with excitement. On the first day, Geng Huyuan couldn't stop and punched him in the face, and then refused to fight Ning Yi no matter what. Finally convinced him again, but the next day he was hit fiercely. Ning Yi was hit a few punches on the body and a punch in the eyes, which made him push a circle of black wheels to have dinner with his family at night.

For him, he was mentally prepared for the injury when he was involved in the competition. In essence, he was not very skilled, and his extreme way of exerting force after practicing internal strength was not easy to use with Geng Huyuan. Although Geng Huyuan is not a famous master in the world, he has seen many real swords and guns in the Su family for so many years. It is said that sometimes the Su family carries goods, Geng Huyuan takes command, and even fights several bandits of bandits head-on, and is very skilled.

Ning Yi had a fair discussion with him. Such a result showed that he forced Geng Kuangyu to stop sometimes, which was already very good. He planned to play like this for the first half of the year and cooperate with the effect of his internal strength, he could be considered half a martial arts master. Behind him, he caused Geng Kuangyu to suffer a lot. When he got home, he asked his son to say, "Dad, how could you beat the sir like that?"

On the third day, Geng Huyuan was almost not easy to fight back, so Ning Yi did some ideological work for him and then punched him again. As a result, he was hit by another punch on the bridge of his nose, blood flowing, and a patch was applied. His injury was not serious, but the old lady saw it at home. She got angry and called the others to curse: "Do you think I'm dead?" Later, she found Geng Huyuan and called Geng Huyuan and scolded him.

At that time, Ning Yi learned about the situation and excused himself. He was good at eloquence and had a natural momentum when doing things. But only in this matter, his family thought that he was really weird in doing such things. They knew that Ning Yi always liked to tell some legendary stories in the world, but young people were very fierce, so it would be fine if they were trained with Mu Haoxia's style. There was no such thing as Ning Yi who had become famous scholars who had been beaten with a bruised face all day long. The old lady was just laughing and crying: "It's really... a fool..."

Then he said to Geng Huyuan: "Sister-in-law Ning likes to make trouble. You are an elderly person in your family. How can you be so ignorant..."

After that, Ning Yi knew that it was difficult to do these things at Jiangning's home. However, when he came to Jiangning this time, only Su Tan'er and others were by his side. When things were settled, he could naturally force Geng Huyuan to do it with him. If Wen Ding and Wen Fang had something to say, he could naturally scold them and then call him to come and exercise together.

The next morning, he went to find the old Qian who had been taught by Mr. Qin as planned. In Mr. Qin's speech, the man's name was Qian Jingru, whose courtesy name was Xiwen, and he was his old friend. He loved books very much, so he asked Ning Yi to hand over several books, but he never said much about the rest.

However, after arriving in Hangzhou, Ning Yi asked someone to inquire, and probably knew that the Qian family should be considered a well-known prominent family in Hangzhou. At least the fact that Qian Xiwen went out to give lectures could be found out from the general public, which shows this point. Ning Yi knew that Qin Siyuan's move to send a letter was not simple, but it was somewhat considered to introduce him to a powerful person. It was just that his interactions with Mr. Qin and Kang Xian were purely accidental. Ning Yi would not think that he could always speak to the old man. This time, he did not have any idea about this, and he simply sent a letter.

That morning, he led Xiaochan out and asked someone about the Qian family. He learned that the Qian family is not only a prominent family in Hangzhou, but also a famous landlord in all villages. It is said that the family is rich. The surname of this man, and a golden burst burst out from Xiaochan's mind, and he joked to Ning Yi on the way.

It was only after arriving at Qian Mansion that I realized that the Qian family was a bit far away from the shining golden light. Although the surrounding houses and courtyards were also full of atmosphere, the courtyard group located on the east side of Hangzhou seemed to have a lot of time. What was settled down was not the outbreak atmosphere, but the rigorous standard and simplicity of housekeeping.

Ning Yi reported his name at the door, handed over a letter and a book. The elderly gangster picked him up and asked the master and servant to stay in the gangster for a while. In a short while, an old butler came out to greet him. He did not go to the living room, but led them to the "Master's Study". Along the way, Chan'er looked around curiously. The surrounding walls, buildings, and roads did not seem large, and they seemed inferior to the Jiangsu Mansion in Jiangning, but they all felt just right. In some places, regular repair traces could be seen, but not shabby. The decorations in many places showed a bookish atmosphere. Perhaps generations of people have lived for a long time, and many small places can show a lively atmosphere.

"The atmosphere of the prominent clan is like this." Seeing Xiaochan looking around, Ning Yi also said softly. The old housekeeper in front of him obviously heard it, showing a proud smile. Xiaochan pointed and said in a low voice: "Miss and I have been to Puyang home and the palace. Those places are very beautiful, but we don't feel that way."

The old housekeeper in front nodded, and the smile on his face felt even more comfortable. He turned around and said, "Mr. I came back from the countryside yesterday and was in a good mood. It is rare for Mr. Ning to invite the master to the study room to speak for the first time when he was here. Mr. Ning will be in front of the master later."

He probably thought that Ning Yi was a junior who came elsewhere to join letters to pay homage to him. He had a good impression of the two of them at this time, so he spoke up so that Ning Yi would not be trembling and lose his favor when he saw his master. Ning Yi nodded and smiled, and thanked him.

The road from the door to Qian Xiwen's study is not far away, but after saying these words, when passing a corner of a corridor ahead, a voice suddenly came: "Qian Weiliang! You dare to run..." It sounded like a laughing and scolding of a young man when he chased and beat him. Then a figure suddenly rushed over and almost collided with Ning Yi. This was a man in a scholar's robe, about the same age as Ning Yi, and was about in his early twenties. He was being chased by someone. He looked back and ran quickly.

Then another man rushed out, and a man of similar age, was stunned, bowed his hand, and then continued to chase him. However, he looked back several times during the running, and didn't know whether he was looking at Ning Yi or Xiaochan, but he almost fell and chased after Lu.

"These are two young masters from the second house. It makes Young Master Ning laugh. Come here, please come here."

The old man passed the corner, and Ning Yi was about to leave, but he saw something red in the grass beside him. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a red coral pen pattern, probably the two young men just now, but fortunately they fell on the grass and did not break. At this time, the two had already run away. Ning Yi took it with the old man and took it out. He talked about the process of picking it up, and asked the old butler to hand it over to the two. The old butler looked at the pen pattern, and looked a little amused and did not reach out to take it.

"It was Weiliang and Weiqing, two young masters, haha... this is not the two young masters of the second wife, but the master's favorite thing. I disappeared a few days ago, and I didn't expect to be picked up by Mr. Ning. Why not hand it back to the master in person later."

Ning Yi frowned: "Isn't this right?" If someone else was a person, he would think that this was a good opportunity to have a relationship with Qian Xiwenla and add an impression. But for Ning Yi, if things are related to things like Qian's family, then he, as an outsider, should never be involved in such a thing.

"It's okay."

The old butler smiled sincerely. After a moment, he arrived outside the yard where Qian Xiwen lived. Xiaochan was arranged to the room where the servants were waiting outside. Ning Yi frowned and put the pen into his sleeve. The old man named Qian Xiwen was already waiting in the room. The man had a fifty-year-old hair and beard, neatly combed, and a gray robe. Although there were no patches, it could be seen that he had been washed many times. He had probably finished reading Qin Siyuan's letters and was flirting with several books brought by Ning Yi. When Ning Yi came in, he greeted him kindly.

"When I left in the capital, I haven't seen Duke Qin for eight years. Liheng, you come from Jiangning. Duke Qin is in good health, right?"

After probably getting the name, Qian Xiwen asked Ning Yi about Qin Siyuan. He probably regarded Ning Yi as a junior who had a relationship with Qin Siyuan and asked about many things in Qin Siyuan's family, such as Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian, which was also the focus of the mention, and occasionally sighed. Ning Yi answered the things he knew one by one, and soon, Qian Xiwen changed the subject.

"At the beginning of summer this year, the northern military front was reopened, and the Jin and Liao started a war. Did you ever hear Qin Gong say anything about this when Li Heng left Jiangning?"

"Duke Qin has arrived in the capital, and he may have arrived in the capital at this time."

"oh."

Qian Xiwen nodded, and looked at Ning Yi with a scrutiny while thinking. He asked very skillfully just now. He probably thought Ning Yi was a junior of Qin Siyuan and knew not much about the things he was really interested in, but Ning Yi could naturally hear what he said and answered simply. At this time, the news of Qin Siyuan's resurrection had not been announced. Ning Yi's answer means that he had already known the inside story at least eight years ago. Qian Xiwen thought about Qin Siyuan's affairs, and then asked about Ning Yi's own situation.

How is the family background, whether you have gotten married, and what kind of knowledge is? The elders asked the younger generation that it was nothing more than this. The old man read a lot of books. He had actually read several poems written by Ning Yi in Jiangning. He actually had read them and remembered the name Ning Liheng. I thought I had already had questions in my heart just now, but at this time, after talking about Qin Siyuan, he asked questions. After confirming, he did not say what the lyrics were written. He just asked what books Ning Yi always liked to read, how to do academic research, and so on. Ning Yi replied that he liked to read some legendary stories and legends. As for learning, he only answered the arguments he had heard when he was joking with Mr. Qin, but it was mediocre. He did not express himself, and would not offend others.

At this time, he probably guessed the content about him in Mr. Qin's letter. The old man knew his personality and would never exaggerate the story of a young man in the letter. He thought he had recounted the old man with a sentence or a few words at the end, or "A friend came to Hangzhou to take care of him." Mr. Qin always wanted to write for himself, and Mr. Qian naturally regarded himself as a junior who came to join and study, so he had such an attitude.

If ordinary people hear their names of poems, they must praise a few words. He does not use function words perfunctory, but this is actually because he has taken the attitude of taking responsibility. Since he has regarded it as his disciple, he must first of all, of course, be strict and not praise it. He is also well-educated, and he does not express any unpleasant attitude towards Ning Yi's preference for idle books such as monster novels. Then Ning Yi's answer was ordinary, and he just frowned and thought carefully, and then took a few books from the bookshelf next to him.

"It's right for Liheng to be at this age, and it's so lively. It's not wrong to read Liheng's writings. It's not a person who is confined to the details. However, there are some tricks and principles when choosing books. I think that some books are read one by one. If you can see the great way from the details and gain some understanding, you will seem to have read two or three books. Haha, it's often a bit of joy because of their shortcomings. Since Liheng is interested, you might as well take these legendary stories back and read them. I have also read them, and the stories are exquisite and the words are good. If you find them interesting, there are two books here, and I have made annotations, so you might as well read them with them."

Ning Yi took the book and saw that there were several popular ghost novels on one side. He even bought them to read them before, and the other two books that can be read with "supporting reading" are "Zuo Zhuan" and the other is "Spring and Autumn". After "Spring and Autumn", there are three words "supplementary" and "examination". These are all bad books. I think the focus should be on annotation.

After taking these books, Ning Yi thanked him. He smiled bitterly in his heart. This old man is still good. After talking just now, he had a little affection for the other party. In fact, with Mr. Qin's vision of identifying people, since he introduced him, he also knew that the other party would not be an unreliable person.

If he really focuses on his studies, longs to make progress in this area or is keen on academic excellence, he might be the first to become a disciple at this time. But he is not. These things are not easy to tell, and he will let down the other party's good intentions in the future. I think Qin Siyuan may have guessed his mentality at this time, and he will most likely be a little bad when writing the letter, and he will laugh and scold him a few times.

The old man is good, but if there is nothing to ask for help in the future, everyone's interactions are probably this time. After setting up a position in his heart, he chatted with the other party for a few more words. Ning Yi stood up and said goodbye, Qian Xiwen nodded: "You go." When he turned around and was about to leave, Ning Yi remembered one thing, turned around and took out the coral pen and returned it to the other party.

In Ning Yi's mood, if he really wanted others, in order to avoid touching Qian's "family scandal", this fight would never be handed in person, but since he didn't have this intention, it didn't matter. It was only when he returned it, that he realized that things might be different from what he thought. Qian Xiwen frowned, with a hint of laughter in his smile, and looked at Ning Yi: "I picked it up when I came in?" For some reason, he seemed to not believe it, but he had no malice.

"Well, I picked it up on the grass when I came in."

"Ha... It's such a coincidence..." Qian Xiwen thought about it, then shook his head and smiled, "Whether it's fate, Qian Yu, come!"

He shouted, the more obviously the old housekeeper just now, and Qian Xiwen came in at this time, and laughed and said, "Liheng picked up my coral pen pattern. You can follow the words on the hanging text and get ten thousand coins."

Ten thousand coins are ten thousand coins. Although it is not much for Ning Yi, it is not much for ordinary people. He was a little surprised at this time. The more money went out, Qian Xiwen wiped the pen and smiled, "I like this pen and it is often thrown away. I offer a reward. If you can get it back, you will reward ten thousand coins. Since Liheng found it, the reward will naturally become fulfilled."

"Don't lose it often?"

"Ha, I don't know why, but I disappeared."

"Can you find it often?"

"Well, isn't this back?"

“…”

Ning Yi was speechless for a moment. After a while, Qian Yu took the servants and brought the money. Ten guan coins, not silver notes. He strung them with a rope and put them in a big box. Ning Yi looked at him and his face twitched. At this time, a copper coin was about three grams, one thousand coins were nearly four kilograms, and ten thousand coins were nearly forty kilograms. The servant was strong and held it with both hands and placed it on the ground. The housekeeper Qian looked dull and was about to be out of the matter. Qian Xiwen blinked his eyes and felt a little embarrassed. He touched his chin, but he didn't say until the end that he would change it to silver notes, so he gave the ten guan coins to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi saw everyone's attitude, although he didn't know what the Qian family was doing, he found it interesting. He didn't need the servant to help, so he reached out to hold the box up and said goodbye with a smile.

When Xiaochan saw them coming outside the door, he hurried over to help, trying to hold the box in Ning Yi's arms. Ning Yi smiled and said, "Don't be busy, it's very heavy." Xiaochan was thinking about the maid's responsibility and said, "Xiaochan is used to doing things and is very strong." Ning Yi acted to put the box on it, and Xiaochan was almost dragged to the ground by the box. Fortunately, Ning Yi immediately caught the box and laughed so hard.

When Xiaochan heard that there were ten coins of coins in the box, she turned round. She must have felt that the Qian family was bullying.

The Qian Butler was also a little embarrassed. When he was about to arrive at the hall, he whispered the reason for this matter. It turned out that although the Qian family was a well-known family in all villages, Qian Xiwen was extremely strict in his family and was simple. The children in the family usually had very little monthly money, and the money would never be distributed in advance until the time came. Once a child in the family encountered something and needed money urgently, he took Qian Xiwen's favorite coral pencil. After Qian Xiwen learned about it, he gave the list text at home. Who could help get it back, and he rewarded ten thousand. Later, the child still sent the pencil, and he fulfilled his promise and rewarded ten thousand.

After this incident, the transaction was often lost seven or eight times in a year. Every time Qian Xiwen still posted the list. After a day or two, someone brought it back, saying that it was finally found. Qian Xiwen always gave it money, but...

"The master said that if ten thousand coins are exchanged for silver notes, it is just a small one. Since everyone wants to reward money, it always seems to be more rewarded with copper coins, so the young masters in the family have to work hard to move back every time..."

When the old housekeeper talked about this, he smiled interestingly. Ning Yi and Xiaochan also realized that they would be lost every time, and they could be retrieved every time, but they would be lost every time. How could this money be unclear? He just pretended to be confused and gave people a chance to show kindness outside the law. Every time he took it back, he naturally took it away. These people would reveal their identities and naturally did not dare to do anything randomly. They had to dare to get the money when they really wanted to spend money, which was probably a joke to these children.

I think this is the case. When Ning Yi took out the pen, the other party's expression would be so strange. This pen can only be taken away by the children at home. Where will it really fall and people will pick it up...

With the box of Qian Xiwen's books, the master and servant drove the carriage all the way back. When they got home, Su Tan'er was slightly surprised when she saw the ten-minus coins. Ning Yi talked about what she saw at the Qian family today, and Su Tan'er also sighed.

"That Mr. Qian, he is really good at managing his family."

"I'm an interesting person, but... I probably won't have too many opportunities to deal with him in the future..."

"Yes." Su Tan'er nodded, turned her head to look at this free and easy husband, her eyes a little complicated.

Two days later, Ning Yi followed his wife's plan and began to visit many merchants related to cloth merchants in Hangzhou as the Su Mansion. He strictly followed the duties of a foil and a flower protector, and did not do anything extraneous. Once he was greeted, he completely restrained his presence and allowed his wife to show his skills implicitly and softly.

In Hangzhou, the Su family has no foundation. To develop here, it can almost be considered starting from scratch. Only in this case can he see his wife's skills and abilities more clearly. As for his bad taste, watching these various confrontations is also one of the things he finds most pleasing to the eye.

He was tired of these things, but it was always interesting to see them occasionally without any responsibility.

A standard, simple, and dedicated husband who married into the family is the first impression he brought to the whole of Hangzhou this summer...
