Volume 2: The Lake of Winter Chapter 175: Visiting relatives, returning to Beijing, the little girl on the bench
In the first spring rain in the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, Ning Que took Sang Sang to many places in Chang'an City. The first place they went to was of course the Bachelor's Mansion. After all, the Bachelor and his wife were Sang Sang's biological parents.
And judging from what has happened in the past few days, I do have true feelings for Sangsang.
Standing in the quiet study room, Ning Que felt a little nervous that he didn't know where to come from. It was completely different from the fierce and powerful look he had the day before yesterday. Probably because he knew very well that in the future, some things would not require the nod of the couple in front of him.
In the eyes of the world, he was born a generation shorter than this couple, that is several heads.
University scholar Zeng Jing and his wife know Ning Que's identity, so they will naturally not treat him as an ordinary person. Moreover, they also know that the relationship between their daughter and Ning Que is not as simple as an ordinary master and servant, so they have three respects for Ning Que.
Three points of vigilance, three points of uneasiness and one point of scrutiny.
Regarding the matter of Sangsang's deregistration, people in the study had a tacit understanding and did not mention it. Ning Que did not want Sangsang to be separated from him in the household registration. Bachelor Zeng Jing was thinking about the hope of the empress, while Mrs. Zeng Jing only cared about
Holding Sang Sang's hand, she burst into tears over the issue of how many days she would live in Laobi Zhai and how many days she would live in the Bachelor's Mansion. She didn't even notice this issue coming up, and Sang Sang was too lazy to think about these things.
In the end, the two parties had a friendly conversation and determined some basic principles for future exchanges. Ning Que made a promise not to interfere with the reunion of the Bachelor's Mansion and the Bachelor's Mansion. The Bachelor's Mansion also implicitly acknowledged Ning Que's possession in some aspects.
Priority and certain derivative rights, happy to say goodbye for now.
Next, Ning Que and Sang Sang went to the princess mansion.
Li Yu saw the master and servant under the big black umbrella, sighed softly in his heart, looked at Ning Que and said calmly: "You should know very well why the Queen attaches great importance to this matter."
Ning Que had been busy looking for people to write posts for the past two days to accuse the lake of killing monks. He really hadn't thought that this matter could be related to the palace. However, this matter was not complicated. He thought about it for a moment and figured it out.
The reason was, after thinking about it, he said: "I don't think I am qualified to represent the attitude of the academy, and I think neither the teacher nor the senior brother should be interested in expressing their attitude on this matter."
Li Yu said: "The problem is that if the royal family cannot determine the direction of this matter by then, if the Tang Dynasty wants to be stable and sustainable, the academy will need to express its attitude."
Ning Que said: "I believe that all civil and military officials will definitely have their own tendencies when the time comes."
"What if the civil and military officials are divided into two factions and can't argue with each other?"
Li Yu looked into his eyes, not giving him any chance to dodge, and said: "Although the academy does not interfere in government affairs, the attitude of the academy is extremely important to the civil servants. Although the military is relatively alienated from the academy, once the academy expresses its stance, I believe that
No general would dare to raise objections."
Ning Que frowned and remained silent.
"Why do the disciples on the second floor of the academy need to join the world? Because the academy exists in the Tang Dynasty, the academy itself also needs the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty. And since you are a person who joins the world, you need to shoulder this responsibility."
Ning Que sighed: "It seems a bit heavy."
Li Yu said: "Master Yan Se has entrusted the safety of the entire Chang'an City to you. The burden on your shoulders is already very heavy, so what does it mean to add all this to you?"
"If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about it. If you have too many lice, you don't have to worry about it. Is this the truth?"
Ning Que sighed: "When we returned to Chang'an City together, Your Highness, you should know very well that I am just a very inconspicuous person. Now, in less than two years, I have to take on so many responsibilities. I really have no psychological preparation."
, and to be honest, I don’t think I have this ability.”
Li Yu said: "Who made you become the disciple of Master Yan Se? What you have experienced in the two years since you came to Chang'an does not seem to be particularly steep. You climbed up with your own perseverance and ability. However, if you look at the results backwards,
I'm afraid that in the past five hundred years, there has never been anyone as lucky as you in the Tang Dynasty."
"I am not yet able to bear the responsibility for the safety of Chang'an City. As for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, others have their own concerns. Your Highness's words just now really disturbed my heart."
Ning Que suddenly understood something and felt a lot more relaxed. He said, "If there is a problem or situation that cannot be solved, I can ask the teacher and my senior brothers and sisters. I believe they will be much wiser than me. When the time comes,
At most, I am just the guy who enters the palace to convey the academy’s opinions.”
After a moment of silence, Li Yu looked at him with a smile and said, "I hope it's me you see when you enter the palace."
Ning Que said: "I just hope you won't be disappointed when you see me in the palace."
…
…
The first spring rain came and went quietly. It pattered for a while and then disappeared. It turned into a velvety moisture on countless black eaves and whitewashed walls in Chang'an City, and did not make the streets and lanes any colder.
Just wash the face and moisturize the body of the winter tree that has not yet sprouted.
Sang Sang took the big black umbrella handed over by Ning Que, tied it up and carried it behind her back. She looked up at him and said, "Why is it always so difficult to understand what you and Her Royal Highness say?"
"They are all very simple words." Ning Que thought about Li Yu's continuous support of young people loyal to her in the court and the military over the years, and said, "It's just that the person speaking is more complicated."
Sangsang said: "You didn't call her an idiot today."
Ning Que replied: "Although I still think what she did is a bit idiotic, after all, she is your friend, and she has a good relationship with me, so it's better to keep some moral integrity."
…
…
They then went to Hong Xiuzhao, Xicheng Gambling House, and even went to the Imperial City for a tour, meeting everyone such as Jian Jian, Fourth Master Qi, Xu Chongshan and others. Ning Que did not stay too long in these places, nor did he say anything
What, just appearing in front of them with Sangsang is enough to express a clear meaning.
Sangsang has come back. Don't worry anymore. Don't worry about Sangsang's safety, and don't worry about the murderous aura in Ning Que that is about to tear apart the entire city of Chang'an.
When leaving the palace and passing by the south gate, Ning Que looked at the cornices and a branch of wintersweet with its head peeking out. He suddenly thought of what He Mingchi once said. He looked at Sangsang next to him and asked: "Although I am very
I hate that dead old man, but you are his only descendant after all. I heard that the Xiling Temple has been trying to take you back, which means that you may become the Great Priest of Light in the future. What do you think about this?"
Sangsang said: "Teacher didn't ask me to go to Xiling."
Ning Que smiled and said, "I have no intention of letting you go to Xiling. I just occasionally think about how my Sangsang can be the Great Priest of Light, and I think this is very interesting."
"It is indeed a very proud thing for a great priest of light to serve you tea, water, make your bed, and even warm it. But if the hundreds of millions of followers of the Haotian Dao Sect in the world know such evil thoughts of yours, would you believe it?
Even if you enter the mountain behind the academy, will you be drowned in saliva?"
Chen Pipi appeared in front of the two of them at some point, looked at Ning Que and said mockingly.
Ning Que looked at him and asked, "Why can you always find me so easily?"
Chen Pipi said: "Because you smell very shameless."
Ning Que was too lazy to argue with him and asked, "What do you want to see me for today?"
He suddenly remembered what Chen Pipi had mentioned at the lakeside at the foot of Yanming Mountain. There was a meeting held in the academy. Everyone was arguing but nothing came of it. The Seventh Senior Sister said that they would arrest him and go back for interrogation. He couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Brothers and sisters,
Why did the dispute become like this? Do I have to go back to participate? Are you trying to trick me into going back and letting me become their punching bag on your behalf?"
Chen Pipi glanced at Sang Sang beside him and said, "That matter has been resolved."
Ning Que asked slightly, "How to solve it?"
Chen Pipi said: "Because someone solved it by himself, the brothers and sisters also solved it."
Sangsang gently tugged on Ning Que's sleeve and reminded, "He seems to be talking about you."
Ning Tuo nodded and said: "I also heard that there is something weird about this matter."
Then he looked at Chen Pipi and asked: "Now that the matter has been resolved, why do you still come to me?"
Chen Pipi responded: "I'm looking for you to go back to the academy."
Ning Que asked: "What happened again?"
Chen Pipi said: "Because the teacher is back."
…
…
Ning Que didn't speak for a long time under the lonely wintersweet leaning out of the wall at the South Gate.
From the moment he entered the academy, he had been looking forward to the day when he would meet his teacher, the legendary Master. However, the Master was always traveling outside, and even if his senior brother appeared, he still did not show up. Until then, someone suddenly came over and said that Master
Having already returned to Chang'an, this is too sudden.
Ning Que didn't know what kind of person Master Dao was. He had never even heard of any legendary deeds of Master except Xiling Taoshan. However, he knew very well that a person who could be a junior uncle and a senior brother could teach a senior brother.
A person like Second Senior Brother must be a legend to the extreme.
And such a person is his teacher. Every time he thinks of this, he feels proud and has a toothache. Today, when he finally sees the teacher, he feels nervous and anxious, and subconsciously wants to escape.
"I haven't brushed yet... I brushed my teeth, but I... I'm still not ready... Look, look at this winter coat I'm wearing... It hasn't been washed for several days, and there are still porridge stains on it.
.”
Ning Que pointed to the stains on the beef and egg drop porridge in front of his lap, and explained seriously and nervously: "I think I should go back and take a bath, burn incense, change into new clothes, and then go back to the academy."
"Bath and burn incense to purify yourself?"
Chen Pipi looked at him and said very seriously: "If you let the teacher know that you have done these things, the second senior brother will definitely make you a meat pie, because the teacher believes that only the deceased ancestors can enjoy these benefits, which means that
Said you thought he was a dead man."
Ning Que didn't know that he had already scolded his master as a dead old man on the terrace of Songhe Tower, so after hearing Chen Pipi's threat, he immediately followed his evil example and promised to follow him back to the academy immediately.
He looked at Sang Sang, ready to let her go back to Lao Bizhai first.
"Go together and go together."
Chen Pipi glanced at Sang Sang and said, "Teacher is probably very curious about your little maid who is the candidate for the God of Light, and specifically asked you to take her with you."
Ning Tuo nodded. Apart from him, Sangsang had an indispensable attitude towards everything in the world. Since he agreed to let her go together, she would go along with him.
However, the three people heading to the academy were forced to stop before they left Chang'an City.
Because the wide square of Zhuque Street in front of the south gate of Chang'an City was crowded with people.
I don’t know what the excitement was that attracted so many people after the rain.
Chen Pipi stood on tiptoes and looked into the crowd.
I saw a long bench in a vacant space among the crowd.
There is a white dog lying under the bench.
There is a little girl lying on the bench.
The little girl was wearing a shabby leather jacket.
On top of the leather jacket is a heavy, strip-shaped stone.
