Arrived at the Cao Family village of Junshan island deep place, Xu Buling and Cao Family manager notified the status, report naturally was ‚King Su Heir Apparent’ rather than ‚Suzhou Xu Buling’. 来到君山岛深处的曹家庄,许不令和曹家的管事通报了身份,报的自然是‘肃王世子’而不是‘肃州许不令’。 Without the Jianghu status, Cao Family strict is only a rural gentry, among the disparity with aristocracy has many can be imagined greatly, blocking the manager of person hardly putting in order ignorant/veiled, scruple moment, respectful welcomed the Cao Family home Xu Buling and guard Ning Yuhe. 若没有江湖的身份,曹家严格来说只是个乡绅,与王侯之间的差距有多大可想而知,把拦人的管事硬给整蒙了,迟疑片刻,还是恭恭敬敬的把许不令和护卫宁玉合迎进了曹家祖宅。 Xu Buling and Ning Yuhe sit in the living room, is sizing up the tall wall big tile of Cao Family mansion, walks the seasoned person to see much, but the weapon frame, abatis practiced martial art without a trace that the commonly used thing vanishes, the Cao Family person of getting old can see the background of practicing martial art from the footsteps breath as before, the child absolutely does not have a foundation, obviously Cao Family withdraws from Jianghu to draw back thorough. 许不令和宁玉合坐在客厅之中,打量着曹家大宅的高墙大瓦,一路走过来人见过不少,不过兵器架、梅花桩等习武常用的物件消失的无影无踪,上了年纪的曹家人依旧能从脚步呼吸中看出习武的底子,小孩子却完全没有一点根基,可见曹家退出江湖退的有多彻底。 As inheriting several hundred years of respected family, the Cao Family person is many, Zhuangzi building one after another Large expanse, lived in more than thousand people, but also the construction has the school, has Old Master teaches, can hear the reading sound that in the curtain of rain mixes with distantly. 作为传承数百年的大家族,曹家的人丁还是很多的,庄子里房舍接连成片,住了不下千人,还修建有学堂,有老夫子在其中教书,遥遥可以听见雨幕中夹杂的读书声。 Xu Buling is carrying the teacup, waited for the moment peacefully, the Cao Family person who hears the news, then went to the living room quickly, what is the head is a gentry official dresses up the old person , the appearance is quite prosperous-looking, passing through the gate is bows a ritual: 许不令端着茶杯,安静等待了片刻,听到消息的曹家人,便快步来到了客厅,为首的是个员外郎打扮的老人,长相比较富态,进门便是躬身一礼: „Common people Cao Quyi, pays a visit King Su Heir Apparent.” “草民曹渠易,拜见肃王世子。” Ning Yuhe hears in this name pupil one startled, never expected that Junshan island Cao Family two Family Head make an appearance directly. Cao Family still shakes Jianghu until now, to all Jianghu guests is the colossi that are hard to follow, but Cao Quyi who before was responsible for contacting the square personal connection, was the Cao Family foreign facade, can with it with the stage was the helmsmen of major aristocratic family schools, Tang Jiao meets the good younger generation ritual, the Jianghu position has high obvious. 宁玉合听到这个名字眸子里一惊,没想到君山岛曹家的二当家直接露了面。曹家至今仍然名震江湖,对所有江湖客来说都是难以望其项背的庞然大物,而以前负责联络四方人脉的曹渠易,便是曹家对外的门面,能和其同台的都是各大世家门派的掌舵人,唐蛟见了面都得行晚辈礼,江湖地位有多高不言自明。 Ning Yuhe martial arts is very high is not false, may calculate the Jianghu position, but Wudang Mountain next the young taoist priest who seeks harbour, the prestige and qualifications do not have, according to the husband and wife background calculates, is Tang Jiao ‚unmarried girl’, might as well has Sword Saint father's Zhu Manzhi to be high, according to the age calculated not to mention, can only be symmetric with Cao Quyi granddaughter person of the same generation, was not one heavyweight. 宁玉合武艺很高不假,可算起江湖地位,只是武当山下一个寻求庇护的小道士,威信、资历都没有,按家室背景算,是唐蛟的‘闺女’,还不如有个剑圣爹爹的祝满枝高,按年龄算更不用说了,只能和曹渠易的孙女平辈相称,根本就不是一个重量级的。 Saw that had only heard in the hearsay Cao Family two Family Head, Ning Yuhe stands up, earnest good a ritual: 见到只在传闻中听说过的曹家二当家,宁玉合站起身来,认真行了一礼: „Younger generation Ning Yuhe, pays a visit Official Cao.” “晚辈宁玉合,拜见曹员外。” Xu Buling sits on the chair has not set out, lifts the hand to hint nearby seat of honor: „Official Cao does not need to be overly courteous, passed by Yueyang, but is casual to have a look.” 许不令坐在椅子上没有起身,抬手示意旁边的主位:“曹员外不必多礼,路过岳阳,只是随便过来看看。” Cao Quyi hair is gray, is long quite prosperous-lookingly, seems like likely a businessman, arrives on the seat of honor to sit down, with a smile polite say/way: 曹渠易头发花白,长得比较富态,看起来更像个商贾,走到主位上坐下,含笑客气道: „Heir Apparent arrives at my humble home, really makes Cao feel extremely flattered, has made the wife prepare the banquet, later invited the governor Sir, gave a welcoming dinner to the Heir Apparent reception well......” “世子亲临寒舍,实在让曹某受宠若惊,已经让内人准备宴席,待会把知州大人请来,好好给世子接风洗尘……” The spoken language is earnest, even has several points to flatter, front making people very difficult to imagine this chubby old man, once was earthshaking the Cao Family words matter person on Jianghu. 言语热切,甚至带着几分阿谀奉承,让人很难想象面前这个胖嘟嘟的老头子,是曾经在江湖上叱咤风云的曹家话事人。 Xu Buling has the light smile, lifts the hand gently: 许不令带着平淡笑容,轻轻抬手: „Arriving at the Yueyang itself/Ben is with light packs Jane/simple line/traverse, invited the governor extremely, Official Cao does not need so to go to the expense.” “到岳阳本就是轻装简行,把知州请来太过,曹员外不必如此破费。” Cao Quyi touched the beard, the nod said: „The Old General Xu prestige, the common people have personally seen, in the past was 7 or 8-year-old, Old General Xu brought troops and horses to go south to pass by Yueyang, paid a visit fortunately in the past one time, this in a flash more than 60 years......” 曹渠易摸了摸胡须,点头道:“许老将军的威名,草民可是亲眼见过,当年才七八岁,许老将军带着兵马南下路过岳阳,有幸过去拜见了一次,这一晃都六十多年了……” Very skilled idle talk daily family activity, Xu Buling not disrespectful, expression compatible conversation. 很熟练的闲话家常,许不令没有失礼,言词亲和的交谈。 Ning Yuhe sits in the side well-mannered, really not good to regard the ordinary supernumerary official Cao Quyi, this with is the same the young court eunuch who Eunuch Jia regards no position, so long as knows the status, is impossible to sit still, therefore had not spoken. 宁玉合规规矩矩坐在身边,实在不好把曹渠易当成普通员外,这就和把贾公公当成没啥地位的小太监一样,只要知道身份,就不可能坐得住,因此一直没说话。 After Cao Quyi said several slightly, then tone respectful inquiry two people of purposes in coming. 曹渠易稍微说了几句后,便语气恭敬的询问二人来意。 Xu Buling smiled under: „I made a friend in Chang'an, called Ning Qingye, few days ago played to Yueyang, loses the message, that side the government authorities did not have the news, therefore wants to ask that Official Cao may once see.” 许不令笑了下:“我在长安交了个朋友,叫宁清夜,前些日子到岳阳游玩,失去了音讯,官府那边没消息,所以想问问曹员外可曾见过。” Knows that Cao Family does not want to involve the Jianghu matter, these words by the flat head common people status said completely, can say considered for Cao Family very much. 知道曹家不想牵扯江湖事,这句话完全是以平头百姓的身份说的,可以说很为曹家着想了。 Cao Quyi obviously knows the Xu Buling thoughts, has not hesitated, shakes the head saying: 曹渠易明显知道许不令的心思,也没有迟疑,摇了摇头道: „Heir Apparent wants to come also to know, before Cao Family, is to run Jianghu, ten years ago drew back, no longer inquired about the Jianghu matter. Few days ago had young lady surnamed Ning to come, the person was quite straight, said that had the bandit to stare at Cao Family, must give Cao Family to be the guard. Cao naturally was resisted to meet at that time, that young lady has not then come again, has appeared several times at the rural fair.” “世子想来也知道,曹家以前是跑江湖的,十年前退了,不再过问江湖事。前些日子是有个姓宁的姑娘过来,人比较直,说有匪人盯上了曹家,要给曹家当护卫。曹某当时自然是拒接了,那姑娘便没再来过,不过在集市上出现过几次。” Hears these words, Ning Yuhe then to know that real, has not concealed, because this conforms to the Ning Qingye style very much. 听见这番话,宁玉合便知道是真的,没有隐瞒,因为这很符合宁清夜的行事风格。 Ning Qingye grows up in the Daoist temple since childhood, to worldly wisdom study insufficient many, the manner is quite straight. 宁清夜从小在道观长大,对人情世故学的不够多,为人比较直。 Then like after the azure street discovered that a Old Sun money three stole, shells out money leaves Old Sun, has not made the mistake stemming from the good intentions, is too direct, had not considered issue that Storekeeper Sun can receive. 便如同在青石巷发现孙老头银子被三才偷了之后,自掏腰包把银子留给孙老头一样,出于善意没做错,却太直接,没考虑到孙掌柜会不会收的问题。 Ning Qingye is Ning Yuhe raises, knew about her temper very much, definitely heard after Cao Family matter, coming up to knock on a door saying that Cao Family had to be difficult she to help, Cao Family will not naturally comply. 宁清夜是宁玉合带大的,对她的性子很了解,肯定是听说曹家的事情后,上来就敲门说曹家有难她想帮忙,曹家自然是不会答应的。 Since Ning Qingye has really come Cao Family, that has not definitely walked, it is estimated that is waiting in the , wants to give the Cao Family help. 既然宁清夜真来过曹家,那肯定也没走,估计是在附近等着,想给曹家帮忙。 Ning Yuhe understood after this situation, looked at Xu Buling one, hinting to leave. 宁玉合了解到这个情况后,看了许不令一眼,示意可以离开了。 The meaning that Xu Buling has not set out, after hearing Cao Quyi reply, the smile said: 只是许不令并没有起身的意思,听见曹渠易的回答后,微笑道: „I also heard that in the city has one group of bandits, stared at Cao Family, probably was not simple.” “我也听说城里有一伙儿匪人,盯上了曹家,好像不简单。” Cao Quyi sighed, looked at the Cao Family mansion: „High position invites criticism, some family properties will naturally stare, not work Heir Apparent worry, has reported the officer, the governor Sir adjusted many bailiffs to come, wants to come is all right.” 曹渠易叹了口气,看了眼曹家大宅:“树大招风,有些家底自然会被盯上,不劳世子忧心,已经报了官,知州大人调了不少捕快过来,想来是没事儿的。” This was the flat head common people most normal approach, Cao Family also truly notified a government office, Government Office also really sent several bailiffs to come. 这是平头百姓最正常的做法,曹家也确实报官了,衙门还真派了几个捕快过来。 This apparently does not have the least bit significance, let alone Zhuangzi several trembling patrol bailiffs, even if adjusts 1000 armies to defend, whom Zhu Liu wants to kill to kill anyone in the same old way, is not other Eagle Striking Tower experts. 只是这显然没有半点意义,别说庄子里几个瑟瑟发抖的巡逻捕快,即便是调一千军队过来守着,祝六照样想杀谁就杀谁,还不算打鹰楼其他高手。 Xu Buling knows the person who was Zhu Liu, Cao Family is doomed, thought, said in a soft voice: 许不令知道来的人是祝六,曹家在劫难逃,思索了下,轻声道: „Heard that the thief is not general fierce, Official Cao the family/home, how to annoy these fierce bandits?” “听说贼人不是一般的厉害,曹员外家,是如何惹上这些悍匪的？” Cao Quyi as Cao Family two Family Head, the thoughts is quite meticulous, naturally listened to this saying meaning: I know the person who who is, Eagle Striking Tower how you offend. 曹渠易作为曹家二当家,心思极为缜密,自然听出了这话的意思:我知道来的人是谁,你们是如何得罪的打鹰楼。 Cao Quyi smile congealed slightly, slightly thinking: 曹渠易笑容稍微凝了下,略微思索: „Hehe......, no matter who came, Cao Family one group of flat head common people, cannot take up the blade, but must rely upon the government authorities. As for bandit who how offends, did not say actually, my big nephew, served as a petty government official in Government Office, caught many bandits, naturally also offended many people.” “呵呵……不管是谁来了,曹家一帮平头百姓,也拿不起刀,还得仰仗官府。至于如何得罪的匪人,倒是不好说,我大侄子,在衙门里当差,抓了不少匪人,自然也得罪了不少人。”
