Nie Yunzhu's acquaintance with Mr. Qin by the riverside was actually not an accident. Although Ning Yi had already told her to recognize Mr. Qin as her adoptive father, she was not opposed to such an arrangement. But in terms of personality,
Nie Yunzhu is actually a woman who is independent and independent. She went to see Mr. Qin a few days after Ning Yi left, partly because she wanted to take the initiative to get to know the old man who might become her adoptive father.
After meeting each other, I listened to the other person talking about Ning Yi's talented and unique side by the Qinhuai River in the past two days, and it seemed that I got to know this person again from another side. Seeing Ning Yi again in the morning felt good, familiar and familiar.
And a novel feeling.
Even though that girl Jin'er came to disrupt the situation...
After roughly knowing that Nie Yunzhu had already met Qin Siyuan, Ning Yi didn't need to provide any more guidance on the matter of recognizing his adoptive father. It would just be a matter of course, and there was no rush now. It rained heavily last night, and the weather is sunny today.
, when we went to the river in the afternoon, Mr. Qin was playing chess with Nie Yunzhu. Nie Yunzhu glanced at him with lively eyes, but did not speak to him. Ning Yi greeted Mr. Qin and sat beside him to watch.
Nie Yunzhu is well-versed in all the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is the best in piano, singing and dancing. Although she is also very good in calligraphy, painting and chess, she cannot reach the level of Mr. Qin. Ning Yi took a few glances and knew that Mr. Qin had left
I just gave Nie Yunzhu some guidance. While I was doing this, I talked to Ning Yi about the disaster relief and epidemic prevention manual.
Mr. Qin has already sent this pamphlet to his eldest son Qin Shaohe who is far away in Jiangzhou. It is said that Kang Xian has also used his connections to send this pamphlet and then distribute it. Of course, it has to be effective.
For a while, when Mr. Qin talked about this with Ning Yi, Nie Yunzhu looked at him silently.
For Nie Yunzhu, this is the first time she has seen this side of Ning Yi. Since she met Ning Yi, what she has seen has always been one-sided. She knew that he was talented and learned, but she only heard about it from others.
Here, we meet every day, talk about trivial things, listen to those weird songs he likes, and watch him paint weird lacquer paintings. It just feels real. Although I used to be calm when discussing business with her, business is just like a businessman.
trail.
But at this time, her feeling was different. What we were talking about now was national affairs, and it was not the rhetoric of ignorant scholars - she had seen many of those rhetoric in Jinfeng Tower. In the past two days, she heard from Mr. Qin
Speaking of which, it was also said that Li Heng was not that kind of ignorant scholar. He must be pragmatic and prudent when doing things. This is the attitude to truly do big things. When the wind blew by the Qinhuai River, the woman listened to the two people talking about those things.
, thinking of the old man's evaluation of Ning Yi, I vaguely felt a little proud of myself.
In the next few days, life went on as usual. Of course, some changes were also taking place, but the impact on Ning Yi was not great.
The number of victims inside and outside the city is still increasing as time goes by. On the streets near Yushan Academy and under the walls, beggars can often be seen wandering and gathering. They seem pitiful, but if you really care, you can't do anything.
Come on, even Xiaochan has become accustomed to these scenes. There has never been a shortage of beggars in Jiangning City, but there are just a few more now. There are also many victims who come from all over to seek refuge with their relatives. Some relatives of the Su family have also been affected by the disaster.
Then he came to seek refuge.
Therefore, the main reason why the city seems slightly crowded and chaotic is the sudden increase in the number of people. The government and the army have also increased their control, and the situation in the city is not bad. There are roads leading to the city and those with identification can enter the city. If there is no guide,
, those who had no relatives to seek refuge with could only gather outside the city and wait for relief.
Order has been maintained in the past few days, and the city gate has not been closed. However, once Ning Yi passed by the city gate and took a look, there must have been a lot more refugees outside the city with him on the day he returned to the city. He built some simple sheds.
The house was full of chaos and panic, with all kinds of noises and cries. The Wu Liejun also sent a large number of people to station at the city gate, ready to react at any time and close the city gate.
Due to the disaster victims, Ning Yi temporarily shelved the plan for manufacturing high-alcohol liquor equipment and workshops after thinking about it. Anyway, the equipment drawings have been completed, and he will consider it after this period of time. He now runs past the small building every morning, and often
He saw Yuan Jin'er and Nie Yunzhu drinking tea there. As soon as he came, Yuan Jin'er ran away with the tea cup.
Yuan Jin'er left Jinfeng Tower. This matter spread a lot in Jiangning for a while. Even Ning Yi heard him talk about it from Li Pin. It is said that the whereabouts of this one of the four leaders is currently unknown.
Every morning when he saw her drinking tea there, Ning Yi felt mixed emotions when he thought of Li Pin's words. It was said that several infatuated people were still looking for traces of her.
This woman plans to come here and learn to be a boss from her sister Yunzhu. She came out of Jinfeng Tower and spent a lot of money to redeem herself, but she still has a lot of savings left. Now she plans to invest all of them in Zhuji.
It's not a small amount of money. According to her, from now on, "I am Sister Yunzhu's." She is resting for the next few days and is planning to go to Zhuji to work as a shopkeeper in two days.
The day he first came back, Li Pin told Ning Yi something.
"By the way, a few days ago, a brother and sister came to the academy to look for you."
"Siblings?"
"Well, it seems that he is a child of a wealthy family. He is not very old, but he has extraordinary bearing. My sister is about twelve or thirteen years old. She is quite difficult to deal with. It seems that she came here deliberately to kick me. You were not there at the time, so you put me to the test.
After some schooling, haha, my brother’s temperament is quite good.”
Li Pin joked and laughed, and compared the heights of the two siblings, and then talked about the process of taking the school exam that day. Li Pin was an open-minded person, and he would not take a child's play seriously. With his
Of course, talent and learning cannot be lost. Speaking of which, Dao and his brother and sister are quite knowledgeable. It can be seen that he also appreciates them.
Ning Yi suddenly laughed when he saw his height. He thought of Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu's brother and sister. However, they met once during the Dragon Boat Festival, and they actually came to play at the gym. It felt really bad to offend a woman...
Immediately, he put the matter behind him.
After all, Ning Yi's daily fixed activity is still class every day. Now he has finished teaching "The Analects" and started to teach "Mencius". Confucius said that Cheng Ren and Mencius said "Qiyi". If Confucius' thought is people-oriented, he is probably talking about human behavior.
, many of Mencius’ thoughts directly involve the country and the collective. When talking about it every day, Ning Yi usually tells some stories about the country. On this day, he probably talked about it a few years ago.
The Battle of Hubu Dagan.
Ning Yi must have inquired about the trends in the Kingdom of Jin, and Mr. Qin and Mr. Kang often talked about it. This battle happened four years ago. Emperor Tianzuo personally led the expedition, and an army of 700,000 pressed against it. Wanyan Agu fought with
The 20,000 troops faced the battle and were almost ready to die in battle. However, in the end, the 20,000 troops achieved a great victory - not a tragic victory, but a near-total annihilation of Emperor Tian Zuo's 700,000 troops. No matter what was behind this
No matter how complicated the reasons are, this battle is a miracle in the history of war for thousands of years.
At this time, Ning Yi was just using this extreme example to talk about the bravery of the Jurchens, the relationship between the country and people, etc. It was impossible to talk too much to a group of children. It was just that after finishing the class, he could talk more with Li Pin.
In order to talk about their views on the Jurchens, the two of them went all the way to the office room next to them. After entering and putting down the books, Li Pin just sighed: "It was said before that the Jurchens are invincible if they are not equal to ten thousand people. In fact, these
It seems that this is indeed the case. It is just that this kind of achievements can never be repeated. After all, the Liao people are powerful and the Jurchens are too few. It is difficult to say what the outcome of this war will be at this time."
Ning Yi smiled: "Isn't this better? People on the street are saying all day long that both sides will lose and so on. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so I, the Wu Dynasty, can benefit from it."
There was some ridicule in his words. Li Pin glanced at him and laughed: "Li Heng is being perfunctory again... On the streets and alleys, these are just ideal words that we take for granted. Our Wu Dynasty is weak, no matter who we are neighbors with in the future.
None of this is a good thing. On the contrary, it can become the power of the Three Kingdoms, or it can be a temporary respite. Of course... this is too ideal. What is achieved at this time is not an easy balance. Although it is weak, there must be some action, and we cannot sit back and wait for death.
, It has been more than two hundred years since the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun was ceded. If we can seize the opportunity to take it back this time, due to the natural dangers of the Great Wall, our court may really be able to take a breather for a while, and then slowly plan for it..."
"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded empathetically, waiting for Li Pin to continue. However, Li Pin was slightly stunned when he saw his reaction, and then smiled bitterly: "Li Heng still disagrees..." After he finished saying this
In this sentence, he got serious, made a bow with his fists, and bowed slightly: "Now that things have happened, there is no need to hide it. In this current situation, I have always wanted to hear Li Heng's explanation. The current situation is so weak that in this world, Li Heng feels
How can we have hope?"
"Tsk..." Ning Yi looked at him, frowned slightly, and then smiled, "How long have you been holding back this sentence... Heh, what's the use of asking me..."
"It has indeed been some time." Li Pin laughed, "I heard Li Heng give a few lectures before and found them thought-provoking. At that time, I wanted to talk to Li Heng about my views on this matter, but I thought I would end up talking too much in restaurants and teahouses.
His behavior was no different. Later, when I thought about many of Ning Yi's statements, I found that they were indeed of a unique line. Some of them were pragmatic and even inspiring. Li Heng had unique views on the history of previous dynasties and was familiar with the current situation.
Now, I really want to hear Li Hengyu’s views on this current situation, so that we can encourage each other... How about you and I really pretend that we are just talking in a restaurant and teahouse?"
Moving forward in time, in the corridor on one side of the academy, two figures of children were coming towards this side one after the other. They were a pair of siblings. The elder sister Zhou Pei and the younger brother Zhou Junwu each took a small bag.
As they walked, they ate Cinuo's soft pastries. The attendants and guards had been left at the entrance of the academy. When approaching the classroom here, sister Zhou Pei hung her pocket on her waist, wiped her mouth, and then
Turning her head to look at her brother, she saw that this guy was still eating while walking, so she glared at her several times...
It wasn't until he heard the voices coming from over there that Zhou Junwu raised his head, then blinked and froze there. He didn't understand why his sister was staring at him. His sister turned around and walked forward with an expression that could not be carved out of wood.
He quickly went up and followed: "What, what's wrong..."
He was originally going out to eat. When he heard that the barbarian was back, he was pulled over by his sister to kick the restaurant. He was still a little hungry. After saying this, he put the remaining half of the pastry into his mouth, wondering.
