There is no suspense about this issue at all. His Majesty must be protecting Yang Qianyue.
Niandie finally realized the gap between ideals and reality. She sighed inwardly and said, "I know this, and I will never say it again in the future."
Compared with fighting for favor, life is of course more important.
After Qi Hengyuan left, Yan Ning felt much freer. When she returned to the study, Yan Lang had not finished drawing the topography map.
Yan Ning sat there with her chin propped up and looked at Yan Lang, and sighed as she looked at it.
Yan Lang raised his head and asked: "Fourth sister, why are you sighing?"
Yan Ning asked: "When can you finish this topography?"
Yan Lang lowered his head and glanced at the paper in front of him. Only a small part of the topography map was drawn on it. He estimated it for a while and said, "It may take a day."
Yan Ning: "..."
She really couldn't ask others to be as fast as her. Yan Ning stood up and said, "You can draw slowly."
Yan Lang asked: "Fourth sister, where are you going?"
Yan Ning said, "I'll go out for a walk and buy you some books." Then she added, "Don't worry, the fourth sister will be back at noon."
Yan Lang said oh, didn't ask any more questions, lowered his head and continued drawing.
Yan Ning wants to buy Yan Lang some books on astronomy and geography. Although she has magical powers, she learned them from reading books when she was a child. Generally speaking, she can strategize without using magical powers. When encountering special circumstances, she can
Can use magical powers.
She wants to teach Yan Lang this magical power, but she won't let Yan Lang rely on this ability all the time. He still needs to learn the most basic skills, which is to understand the world, and this requires solid study.
She has a photographic memory, and when she was a child, she ran around without taking books with her. She learned wherever she went, and looked wherever she went. She walked, read, and learned without leaving any trace, so she didn’t have a collection of books. Even if she did, they were still in Jiang Guo.
, most of them have been burned down long ago.
So she had to buy some related books for Yan Lang to read. This was another reason why she asked the king to forgive Yan Lang and let him come to Guiyang City to study.
Reading is true, but teaching him to learn supernatural powers is the most important thing.
And reading and studying is just to hide her true purpose.
Yan Ning wanted to go out, so she naturally took a carriage. Niandie went to call Wang Dazhuang. Wang Dazhuang prepared the carriage and put a hot stove in the carriage. After burning for a while, Yan Ning got in the carriage after the carriage was warm. This time the king
Without him, Niandie naturally followed him into the carriage to wait on him.
As the carriage drove out of the gate of Yan's house, Yan Ning was still a little worried when she thought about Yan Lang being alone at home. It was not that she was worried that Yan Lang would be bullied, but that Yan Lang was alone and had no one to take care of her when she needed something.
Yan Ning said: "We still have to find a book boy for Yan Lang."
Niandie said: "Why don't we go to Yabozi's place first?"
"Need not."
Most of the people sold by Yabozi are illiterate. What she wants for Yanlang is a bookboy, not a rough servant.
"..."
Niandie paused and said, "If you don't buy it from Yabozi, it will be hard for us to find it. The Ning family probably won't be able to find a suitable one for a while."
Yan Ning frowned and said, "I know, but it's better to be short-lived than to waste too much."
Nian Die sighed: "Okay."
Yanning wanted to buy books, so she asked Wang Dazhuang to go to East Street. There were many bookstores on East Street, but only two were open. After all, it was only the third year of junior high school.
Yan Ning selected some books on astronomy and geography from both bookstores. On the way back, she passed the third bookstore. Originally, this bookstore was closed, but at this time, the door was opened.
Yan Ning thought for a while, then got off the carriage and walked into the third bookstore.
While I was carrying a book, a boy suddenly ran out from the back hall. Behind the boy was an older woman. The woman held a stick and cursed fiercely: "You little beast, here you go again."
Steal something and see if I don't beat you to death."
The boy held two books in his arms and two meat buns in his hand. Most of one of the meat buns had been bitten off. In addition, there was another rope bag hanging on his left arm.
, the bag is bulging, and the seal is very tight, so you can’t see what’s inside, but you can vaguely smell the aroma of chicken, so it must be chicken inside.
The boy jumped and ran, and stuffed the other half of the meat bun into his mouth as if he was swallowing a date. He was probably used to doing this kind of thing, or maybe he often stole things from this bookstore and was already familiar with it, regardless of the woman.
No matter how hard I chased him, I couldn't hit him, so he ran out of the bookstore.
Yan Ning winked at Wang Dazhuang, and Wang Dazhuang immediately chased after him.
After Wang Dazhuang came back, he said a few words in Yan Ning's ear, and Yan Ning left.
During the period when Wang Dazhuang did not come back, Yan Ning saw that the woman did not catch up with the thief child. She stood in the street and cursed her father and mother for a while, and then came back angrily. Yan Ning advised her not to argue with the child.
Yan Ning is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. Under normal circumstances, she would not talk so much.
But she was interested in inquiring about the child just now, so she kept talking too much to 'stoking the fire' with the woman.
Yan Ning knew that the woman was angry at this time. If she scolded the child together with her, her anger would be smoother, but if he advised her not to argue with the child, she would definitely be furious.
And when she was angry, she could better continue to 'chat' with her.
Sure enough, as soon as the woman heard her speak, she couldn't help but glance at her with her eyes filled with flaming anger. She originally wanted to scold her: "Nosy."
But at a glance, I saw that she was a delicate girl, and she was picking out books. She was obviously a customer who came in to buy books when she was chasing the little beast with a stick. As a guest, she couldn't say bad words to her.
She said with a straight face: "Girl, if you want to buy a book, buy a book and don't worry about other things."
Yan Ning smiled: "I just think it's not worth getting so angry for such a child. If the boss lady thinks I'm talkative, I won't say anything."
The landlady snorted: "What do you know? This little beast has not come to my house to steal things once or twice, nor has it been a year or two. It has been five years. At the beginning, I felt sorry for him and gave him food, so I allowed him.
He worked as a handyman in my bookstore, but later, he only read books and did not do anything, causing me to lose a lot of things. I really couldn't use him, so I fired him. As a result, from that time on, he often took advantage of the situation.
I didn't pay attention and entered the store to steal books. I even went to the backyard and started stealing things. Do you think I can't be angry?"
Yan Ning was shocked: "Do his parents not care about him?"
The landlady snorted again: "If he had parents, he shouldn't be like this."
As he spoke, he sighed: "He is also pitiful. If his parents are still alive, he must also be a very outstanding child. It is a pity, it is really a pity..."
Yan Ning asked: "His parents are not here, so does he have other family members?"
The boss's wife said: "Yes, he also has a sister. If it weren't for his sister, he wouldn't have such a difficult life. With his talent, as long as he survives this difficult time, he will definitely be able to get ahead, just for him
My sister, he can’t concentrate on studying, so that’s all he can do.”
Yan Ning smiled and said, "According to my boss, this kid is still a good prospect, but he just lacks a chance."
The landlady agreed: "Who says it's not true? You may not know who he is. He is the grandson of Mr. Guo, who was very famous on East Street. After Mr. Guo passed away, Mr. Guo lost his temper and ruined the whole family.
I lost my entire ancestral home as a result of my property, and later even my bookstore was lost.”
Yan Ning really didn't know who Mr. Guo was. She asked, "Did Mr. Guo also open a bookstore on East Street?"
"Yes, Mr. Guo was the first to open a bookstore on East Street. Mr. Guo not only opened a bookstore, he also often told stories to children in the bookstore and taught them to write for free.
Yes, at that time many poor families sent their children to Mr. Guo. At that time, Mr. Guo was quite famous in East Street."
"Then how did Mr. Guo die?"
"Those who died of illness will face this hurdle when they get old."
Yan Ning nodded and asked again: "Master Guo..."
"Don't mention that prodigal son. Young Master Guo looked fine when he was young, but when he grew up and got married, he fell in love with gambling. He doesn't go to places like casinos. He likes martial arts gambling."
After saying that, he asked Yan Ning: "Girl, do you know what Wu Gong means?"
When Yan Ning heard the word "武", the first thing that came to mind was the martial arts field, and then she thought of the gambling tables she saw on the entire West Street on the night of New Year's Eve.
Yan Ning asked: "Are they those gambling tables set up on the entire West Street on the night of New Year's Eve?"
The landlady nodded: "Yes, that's the martial arts gambler."
"Isn't it true that gambling is only allowed on the night of the New Year's Eve? How can you lose everything in your family in just one day?" Yan Ning really didn't believe it.
The landlady sighed: "Some people just like to spend a lot of money. What can you do? Mr. Guo is not good at gambling, but he still likes to gamble. Every time he gambles, he likes to bet a big one, although it is true that gambling is only allowed on the night of New Year's Eve."
Table, it's not just one game in one night. Everyone was free that night, and the martial arts practitioners would go to the martial arts field to join in the fun when they had nothing to do. It can be said that the martial arts field that night was very busy, so it would be better to say less
If you bet twenty games and lose all twenty games, do you think you will lose everything?"
Yan Ning: "..."
Is this person stupid? Why don’t you just stop gambling if you lose? Do you have to lose all your family property?
Yan Ning didn't know what to say, so she had to ask: "Master Guo's wife doesn't care about him?"
"It's okay, how can you not care about it, but can you control it? After Mr. Guo lost all his family property, he asked his father-in-law to borrow money. When his wife found out about it, she divorced him angrily and wanted to take his wife away.
There was a son and a daughter, but Master Guo did not allow it. The two had a big quarrel about it. In the end, his wife was the weakest and without any argument, his wife had to go back to her natal family first, probably to invite her natal family.
He came to help, but who knew that the carriage had an accident on the way, and his wife, servants, maids, coachmen, etc. all fell off a cliff and died. After this incident reached the ears of Master Guo, Master Guo began to drink and get drunk. One night
, accidentally fell into the lake and drowned."
Yan Ning: "..."
It is true that the moon waxes and wanes, and people have misfortunes and blessings every day!
So cherish the moment and live every day well.
The landlady continued: "Master Guo still owed a lot of debt. Later, the creditors saw that Guo Xin and Guo Xi were pitiful, so they did not go to them to collect the debt. But these two children lost their parents and their home, and they were so young.
, how can we live? We can only steal and rob them. I pity them and have helped them, but I can’t help them all the time.”
Yan Ning asked: "Where are Guo Xin and Guo Xi's maternal grandfather's family? Don't care about them?"
"I don't know about this. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Maybe there is something unspeakable? But no one really came to see them or pick them up. They just lived a pitiful life like this.
Five years ago."
"Master Guo has no brothers or sisters?"
"No, Mr. Guo only has one son, Master Guo. In other words, you can't just have one child. You can see something is wrong. There is no one to help him."
Yan Ning smiled and thought that Master Guo didn't have any brothers or sisters, so Mr. Guo didn't have any either?
However, Mr. Guo has passed away. If he really had brothers and sisters, they may not be alive anymore, and those who are still alive may be old and rely on their children and grandchildren to live their lives and will not care about others.
Yan Ning was silent and asked: "Is Guo Xi's health not good? You just said that Guo Xin delayed himself because of his sister."
The landlady shook her head: "That's not true, it's just that Guo Xi is too beautiful. Someone asked Guo Xin to buy Guo Xi, but Guo Xin refused. Since then, Guo Xin has been very careful, not daring to leave his sister, even if he wants to steal something.
He will hide his sister well. He often changes places and no one knows where he and his sister live. I will not pursue him and never report him to the official. I just see him as pitiful."
Then he cursed again: "This is really an injustice. I don't know how long my store will be stolen by this little beast. I really owe him in my previous life."
Yan Ning smiled. She found out what she wanted to know, so she stopped talking to the landlady and carefully selected books.
After the books were selected, Wang Dazhuang also came back. Yan Ning asked Niandie to pay and then got on the carriage.
The carriage went all the way to Yanzhai.
Niandie said: "Miss, don't we go find that young man named Guo Xin?"
Yan Ning was having a conversation with the proprietress just now, and Nian Die was listening. Yan Ning sent Wang Dazhuang to follow Guo Xin, and Nian Die also saw it.
Niandie thought that the young lady would go find the young man named Guo Xin after she came out. Based on Niandie's understanding of the young lady, the young lady must have wanted Guo Xin to be Young Master Yanlang's book boy, that's why she asked so many questions.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the bookstore, the lady did not go to find Guo Xin, but went home directly.
Nian Die is indeed a little confused.
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go home first."
