Chapter 46 第46章 Old knowledge 旧识 In the morning, sunlight, when the east side of county fair ripples the ray, car also already overthrew that fixed intersection. Nie Yunzhu and Hutao (walnut) pack something, soon after hold the basket to prepare to deliver goods. She is still the from head to toe simple cotton garment, wrapped a kerchief, it seems like with most woman country girl's general appearance, but could not cover that once excellent makings by the figure even if only, if talked face-to-face, naturally also let person slightly her elegant simple and beautiful appearance. 清晨时分,阳光在市集的东边漾出光芒的时候,小车也已经推倒了那固定的路口处。聂云竹与胡桃收拾些东西,随后提着篮子准备去送货。她依然是一身朴素布衣,包了一块头巾,看来与多数妇人村姑一般的打扮,不过哪怕单论身段也掩不了那股曾经的过人气质,若是面对面交谈,自然也让人略不过她那文雅清丽的容貌。 Yesterday's time delivered the first preserved egg toward traces of spring Alehouse, had a beginning, today also she passed, according to the plan of Ning Yi, installs several types of different ingredients in the attractive small porcelain bottle, then prepared the porcelain small dish, after sending, took a preserved egg to sliver four petals, with four small dishes, on each small dish 1 sauce, the different styles was on display. The preserved egg cuts open the later appearance to be good black, is joined to red , white sauce, is absolutely enough to the visual impact of person, even if in this Alehouse has not put out the most conspicuous position to be on display, yesterday fragments numerous still sold more than ten. 昨天的时候往春意酒楼送了第一次的皮蛋,算是有了个开端,今天也还是她过去,按照宁毅的规划,将几种不同的配料装在漂亮的小瓷瓶里,然后准备好瓷碟,送去之后,取一只皮蛋切成四瓣,拿四只小碟,每碟倒上一点酱料,不同的风格做展示。皮蛋切开之后卖相本就不错,配上红色的、黑色的、白色的酱料,给人的视觉冲击绝对是足够的,即便这酒楼之中并未拿出最显眼的位置做展示,昨天零零总总也卖出了十多只。 The such progress makes Nie Yunzhu be a little caught off guard, but if also has second, the plans of 30 preserved eggs basically were then completed every day. 这样的进展让聂云竹有点措手不及,但假如还有第二家,每天三十只皮蛋的计划便基本完成了。 Under similar dawn, when she is holding the basket across the street toward Spring Traces Building in the past, Li Pin is going out of the lane, stops slightly. soon after to street another four seas Alehouse, friend already arrived, there he: „thanks did brother come early...... Zishan?” 同样的晨光下,就在她提着篮子穿过街道往春意楼过去的时候,李频正走出巷子,稍停了停。随后去往街道另一头的四海酒楼,一个朋友已经到了,在那里等他:“谢兄来早了……子山呢？” „Zishan today has not come together with me, said that was last night sees a good friend, later will come with it together.” “子山今日未与我同来,说是昨晚见一好友,待会将与其一同前来。” „So good.” “如此甚好。” All development are usual, the Li Pin rallying point does not have the issue, since 34 days, looked for some usually the friend who dines in neighbor different Alehouse, lets them, when Alehouse is lively the help to call two to buy Century Egg slightly. Slight effort nothing more, because the day of Ning Yi had said several people enough, his actually has not then officially informed too many people, these friends are also the comparison can keep secret, the optional performance does not have the issue, yesterday heard that Spring Traces Building already displayed that Century Egg, had the preliminary achievement. 一切发展如常,李频的号召力还是没问题的,三四日以来,找了些平日在附近不同酒楼用餐的朋友,让他们在酒楼热闹的时候帮忙叫小二买个松花蛋。举手之劳而已,由于宁毅那天说过几人便够,他倒也没有知会太多人,这些朋友也是比较能保密的,随意的表演毫无问题,昨天就听说春意楼已经将那松花蛋摆上了,也算是有了初步的成果。 The scholarship of Li Pin to Ning Yi has curiously, as for Century Egg, pours to be insufficient extremely to care. At this time good friend meeting with this named Xie Jiang, a conversation and going upstairs. Waited for a while, approximately the good another good friend also arrived, this person of named Shen Miao, character Zishan, is some Jiangning fame talent, with also has one person that he comes together, the appearance proper, dignified in appearance, 20-year-old age, the body has the considerable steady makings, passing through the gate, made to bow with hands clasped with Li Pin and Xie Jiang. 李频对宁毅的才学是有好奇的,至于松花蛋,倒不至于太过放在心上。此时与这名为谢绛的好友会面,一番交谈、上楼。等了一会儿,原本约好的另一名好友也到了,这人名叫沈邈,字子山,也是江宁有些名气的才子,与他同来的还有一人,样貌端方,仪表堂堂,20多岁的年纪,身上却有着相当稳重的气质,一进门,与李频、谢绛做了个揖。 „Dexin and Xishen, long time no see.” “德新、希深,好久不见了。” „Yanzhen!” “燕桢！” Li Pin stood pleasantly surprised, this person and they actually were also the old knowledge. In Jiangning this is also and Li Pin and Cao Guan equally matched character. Gu Hong Gu Yanzhen, three years went forward Capital, it is said the metropolitan examination high school, generally moves in Bianliang after that takes various methods to seek for the reality to lack, unexpectedly cannot think, at this time came back from that side unexpectedly. 李频惊喜地站了起来,这人与他们其实也是旧识了。原本在江宁这也是与李频、曹冠不相上下的人物。顾鸿顾燕桢,三年前进了京,据说会试高中,此后大抵是在汴梁活动,走各种门路寻找实缺,倒是想不到,此时竟从那边回来了。 People suddenly great happiness. 众人一时间大喜。 „What day actually is, is not the earliest possible time contacts with me unexpectedly and others, this tent/account remembered.” “到底是何日到的,竟不是第一时间联系我等,这帐记下了。” „today, when gives a banquet in Goldwind House, the reception gives a welcoming dinner.” “今日当在金风楼设宴,接风洗尘。” „Is made to drink as a forfeit!” “罚酒！” „Does not know that this goes to the Dongjing three years, has what story obtained, may result to say carefully.” “不知此去东京三载,有何见闻所得,可得仔细说说。” Four people sit down in the table with a smile, Gu Yanzhen said some capital trivial matters with several people. 四人笑着在桌边坐下,顾燕桢与几人说些京城琐事。 „Now in Dongjing and other places, says many, when was in recent years the matter of Liao and Jin two nations mutual hatred, since your majesty has assigned Official Li, reorganizes the military affairs, the serious discipline, the Imperial Deliberation Hall high and low piece rouses now. If guessed well, ranged from three five numbers months, many one year or so, Imperial Court must hold the opportunity and Jin Nation forms an alliance. Has inspired since Tan Yuan the dispirited air/Qi of whole nation, regains You Yun, is just round the corner!” “如今在东京等地,所言最多者,当属近年来辽金两国交恶之事,自陛下任用李相以来,整顿军务,严肃军纪,如今朝堂上下一片振奋。若是猜测不错,少则三五数月,多则一年半载,朝廷必会抓住机会与金国结盟。一振自檀渊以来举国的颓丧之气,收复幽云,指日可期！” From the second half of last year, Jin Nation had erupted the large-scale conflict since under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda with Liao Nation, dispatches troops into battle to regain You Yun, inspires the national destiny is the topic that these Wu Dynasty scholars most often discuss. 60 years of Tan Yuan, six years ago Black Water, hundred years bullies, now opportunity finally already arrived, since Imperial Ruler assigns Li Gang now is, purges the military affairs vigorously, now situation already is clear, all as if already pressed in a string. In the future will as if only separate one like the tissue window paper, once pricks, then can see the army to have Yanmen, takes You Yun, the landscape of duplicate/restores Tang Era Heavenly Dynasty old appearance. At this time four people said that is also one one's blood bubbles up to the brim, soon after Gu Yanzhen also mentioned his harvest. 自去年下半年,金国在完颜阿骨打的领导下与辽国爆发大规模冲突以来,起兵收复幽云,一振国运一直是这些武朝士人最常讨论的话题。六十年檀渊,六年前黑水,百年欺压,如今机会终于已经到了,自当今圣上任用李纲为相以来,大力整肃军务,如今局势已经明明白白,一切都仿佛已经压在了一根弦上。未来仿佛只隔了一张如薄纱般的窗户纸,一旦挑破,便能看见大军出雁门,直取幽云,复唐时天朝旧貌的景观。此时四人说起来,又是一番热血沸腾,随后顾燕桢也说起他这次的收获。 „...... This time in Dongjing, Sir Qinsou favors finally, must make up 17 product Shique, Heh, Raozhou Leping County Magistrate, in July will take office, this also has some date and time, then comes back Jiangning, narrated with everyone/various......” “……这次在东京,最终得钦叟大人青睐,得补一七品实缺,呵,饶州乐平县令,七月将去上任,这还有些时日,便回来江宁,与诸位一叙……” In his mouth this Sir Qinsou is Tang Ke Tang Qinsou, in these scholar eyes is also quite famous, is an inquiry, regarding him solid lacking, from is also various envying envy hates, to tease, soon after just now raises some love affair elegant matters. Gu Yanzhen could be distinguished people in Jiangning, quite the favors of various beautiful women, went to the Dongjing three years, naturally cannot no love matters, Gu Yanzhen say some trivial amusing things. 他口中这钦叟大人乃是唐恪唐钦叟,在这些士人眼中也算是相当有名,便又是一番询问,对于他得到实缺,自也是各种羡慕嫉妒恨,打趣一番,随后方才提起一些风月雅事。顾燕桢原本在江宁算得上风流人物,颇得各种佳人的青睐,去了东京三年,自然不会没什么风流韵事,顾燕桢笑着说些琐碎趣事。 „In fact the reputation and ability, differ not much with Jiangning, the Dongjing female is mostly arrogant, that side is the under the heavens scholars converges, wants to subdue them, that is not easy, below in the Dongjing three years, recently in the reddest several girls, Li Shishi, below had also only had casual acquaintance with her......” “实际上名声、才气,与江宁这边也相差不多,东京女子多半高傲,那边又是天下士子云集,想要折服她们,那可不容易,在下在东京三载,最近最红的几个姑娘中,李师师,在下也只与她有过一面之缘……” Time in words in the past, in already arrived Alehouse is liveliest the busy time, Li Pin is thinking should call the preserved egg to come, that Gu Yanzhen stops suddenly, pounded on the table, soon after said with that servant: „Comes with four Century Egg.” 时间在话语中过去,也已经到了酒楼中最为热闹繁忙的时间,李频想着是不是该叫皮蛋过来,那顾燕桢忽然停下来,拍了拍桌子,随后与那店小二说道:“拿四只松花蛋来。” In the shop naturally does not have, soon after Gu Yanzhen directs a foreign direction, has a familiar task and handles it with ease unexpectedly. A Li Pin face is astonished however, that Gu Yanzhen smiles, small sound said: „yesterday in Cuiping Building and a Brother Mufang to chat, sees him to call this Century Egg to call suddenly to pretend to be serious, below asked, the knowledge is the matter of Brother Dexin asking, keeps firmly in mind contentedly, Heh...... just now I said can have the mistake? Does not know that this Century Egg and Dexin have what relations.” 店里自然没有,随后顾燕桢指点一番地方,竟也是驾轻就熟。李频一脸讶然,那顾燕桢才笑起来,小声道:“昨日在翠屏楼与穆方兄一叙,忽然见他叫这松花蛋叫得煞有介事,在下一问,才知是德新兄拜托之事,自得牢记在心,呵……方才我说的可有错么？倒不知这松花蛋与德新有何关系。” Li Pin also smiles: „unexpectedly has no relations, is a friend holds, the action of game, but cannot deliberately publicize that's all by the respective fame.” 李频也笑起来:“倒是没什么关系,也是一个朋友所托,游戏之举,只是不能以各自名气刻意宣扬罢了。” „Understanding.” Hits the gambling to crack a joke, anything has, seeing Li Pin said that is the action of game, Gu Yanzhen also no longer cares, soon after also mentioned the Dongjing style. For those satiated with food and wine, when Li Pin and Gu Yanzhen chatted several alone, Li Pin just now teased: „When just now mentioned these Dongjing females, the Yanzhen somewhat hesitant color, can it be that ate shrivelled in Dongjing, at this time did not say.” “了解。”打起赌开起玩笑来,什么事情都有,见李频说是游戏之举,顾燕桢也就不再在意,随后又说起东京风貌。到得吃饱喝足,李频与顾燕桢单独聊上几句时,李频方才打趣道:“方才说起那些东京女子时,燕桢似有些犹豫之色,莫不是在东京吃了瘪,此时不好说吧。” Gu Yanzhen is smiling, soon after shakes the head reluctantly: „Dexin is perceptive of the finest detail, is really something, but has little to do...... Uh with Dongjing, if said that the relations have...... do not know Dexin can have Goldwind House for these years?” 顾燕桢笑着,随后无奈地摇摇头:“德新明察秋毫,确是有些事情,不过与东京并无太大关系……呃,若说关系也是有……不知德新这几年可有去过金风楼么？” Li Pin shakes the head: „Goldwind House goes little, recalls, Yanzhen indeed often went in the past but actually. Heh, recently Goldwind House that Yuan Jin'er unexpectedly and Cao Guan were quite intimate, Yanzhen also knew that Cao Guan is my Lichuan mortal enemy, if I went to fear that also the denying entrance...... Uh, actually has what matter fine?” 李频摇头:“金风楼去得少,回想起来,燕桢当年倒的确是常去的。呵,最近金风楼那元锦儿倒是与曹冠颇为亲近,燕桢也知那曹冠乃我丽川死敌,我若去了怕是也要得闭门羹……呃,到底有何事情？” „Before three years go Dongjing, once the female friend in Goldwind House, days before entered a city, in the evening then looks for her, what a pity...... three years of time, she...... Gu Yanzhen finger does not knock the table in Goldwind House now”, facial expression faint is somewhat disconsolate, „is open about the facts Dexin, below was loose in the past, confessed that also has seen many females, only this female...... makes below feel most opens heart, in the heart is most peaceful, literary talent makings, completely not the person of travel fatigue. Remembers for three years ago when with she said goodbye, what she says: ‚Wishing Young Master passed the palace examination and returns with honors......’ below this many is also passes the palace examination, returned with honors, what a pity Ah…... one had only known, three years ago she was opens the mouth to reject, should buy freedom for her......” “三年前去东京之前,曾有一红颜知己在金风楼中,前几日进城,当晚便去找她,可惜……三载光阴,她如今已不在金风楼了……”顾燕桢手指敲了敲桌子,神情微微有些惆怅,“不瞒德新,在下以往风流,自认也见过许多女子,唯此女……让在下觉得最为交心,心中最为安静,文采气质,完全不似风尘之人。记得三年前与她告辞之时,她说的是:‘祝公子金榜题名、衣锦荣归……’在下此次多少也算是金榜题名,衣锦荣归了,可惜啊……早知如此,三年前她便是开口拒绝,也该为她赎身的……” Li Pin pondered: „, Before the three years ago words...... Yuan Jin'er, is Pan Shi, Um, heard that her indeed was buys freedom to get married......” 李频想了想:“如此说来,三年前的话……元锦儿之前乃是潘诗,嗯,听说她的确是赎身嫁人了……” „How can be Pan Shi.” Gu Yanzhen disdain raised the eyebrow, „Pan Shi this female, but common thing, how is worth below adoring. What below said is Young Lady Yunzhu, she usually was usually low-key, if not does not agree struggles the name, how in Goldwind House to turn to obtain Pan Shi to raise one's head...... this matter, can only say that is predestined friends unqualified nothing more......” “怎会是潘诗。”顾燕桢不屑地挑了挑眉,“潘诗此女,不过一俗物尔,怎值得在下为之倾心。在下说的乃是云竹姑娘,她平日素来低调,若非不肯争名,金风楼中怎轮得到潘诗出头……此事,只能说有缘无分而已……” „Yunzhu...... this name had once listened in the past......” “云竹……这名字当年似曾听过……” „If in the past Dexin really had to see her, naturally then knows that her good, this female poetry sang songs, all was good, in the heart thinks, with these wanted, when Queen of Flowers, quarrelled out of jealousy the famous female to be entirely different. Although below is not clear about her passing, if not but the rough life experiences, how will fall into the travel fatigue, thinks below may help its helping hand but actually, but knows her personality, does not dare to raise for its matter of buying freedom. Oh, the known flower blooms now endures to fold must fold, treats a blossomless spatial booklet truth not, what a pity already late......” “当年若德新真有见她,自然便会知道她的好,此女诗文唱曲,无一不是上佳,心中所想,也与那些想要当花魁,争风出名的女子截然不同。在下虽不清楚她的过往,但若非有一番坎坷身世,怎会落入风尘,原本以为在下倒可助其一臂之力,只是知她性格,一直未敢提起为其赎身之事。唉,现在已知花开堪折直须折,莫待无花空折枝的道理,可惜已然晚了……” „Inquired her present whereabouts?” “打听她如今下落了吗？” Gu Yanzhen shakes the head: „Asked, is only that side not to the answer...... Heh, since does not give the answer, got married, if she leaves Goldwind House, at this time in Jiangning, when the also has reputation is. With the same day friendship, she will not reject below.” 顾燕桢摇摇头:“问了,只是那边未给答复……呵,既然不给答复,自是嫁人了,若她只是离开金风楼,此时在江宁,当还有名声才是。以当日情分,她也不会拒绝在下的。” The sentiment is the thing, most moved is this missed, Li Pin thinks: „Aren't many asks? At least knows that now where she is.” 情之为物,最令人伤感的便是这等错过,李频想想:“不多问问？至少知道她如今在哪。” „Asked that actually also has what using, she actually elected what kind of person, below to really have finally curiously, however......, if can not see......” him to visit Li Pin, smiled, „perhaps did not see good that...... also had does not see.” “问到底又有何用,她最终到底选了何许人,在下确有好奇,可是……若能不见……”他望望李频,笑起来,“或许不见……也有不见的好。” Li Pin nods, racket his shoulder: „, Will then forget after a period of time.” 李频点点头,拍拍他的肩膀:“也罢,过段时间便会忘记的。” One group of people on Four Seas Building discussed these things, in Alehouse the busiest time, the guest gradually are also few. Just now runs buys Century Egg two to discuss that with several people that couple of days ago was called to buy slightly later and Manager responded, here that Manager has a look just like quite to have the status four people calm and composed, waved to issue the instruction, the servant goes out, arrived at that side crossroad across the street, said with Nie Yunzhu tomorrow will deliver the Century Egg past request, but before then , the Cuiping Building servant came, said the similar request. 一群人在四海楼上谈论这些事情的时候,酒楼里过了最繁忙的时间,客人也渐渐少起来了。方才跑去买松花蛋的小二与前两天被叫去买的几人商量之后与管事反应了一下,那管事看看这边俨然羽扇纶巾颇有身份的四人,挥手做出了指示,店小二出了门,穿过街道去到那边的路口,与聂云竹说了明天送松花蛋过去的请求,而在这之前,也有一名翠屏楼的店小二过来了,说了同样的要求。 2nd day in the morning before dawn, Nie Yunzhu wait/etc. when the small building stair, Ning Yi comes, with joy with him said sale already expands to the three families news, said that also while some doubts are paying attention to the Ning Yi facial expression. The situation that actually this market develops somewhat is to her strange, often some people called two to buy Century Egg from Alehouse slightly, but the fame has not hit, how to have this situation, perhaps was he makes the hand foot in the back. 第二天早晨天未亮,聂云竹等在小楼的台阶前,宁毅过来之时,喜滋滋地与他说了销路已经扩展到三家的消息,一边说,也一边有些疑惑地注意着宁毅的神情。其实这市场拓开的情况对她来说有些诡异,常常有人从酒楼叫小二买松花蛋,可名气还未打出去,怎么会有这种情况的,或许便是他在背后做的手脚。 If so, she will feel to admire. However is also good at watching a person's every mood although, Nie Yunzhu naturally does not have the means to see too many contents excluding happiness from the Ning Yi face at this time. Actually she was also happy that can rely on one's own effort to revive in oneself, with Ning Yi discussed the front salt insufficient many, emergent measures of middle by some chance stockout wait/etc. 如果真是这样,她会感到佩服。不过尽管也擅长察言观色,聂云竹此时自然没办法从宁毅脸上看出除高兴以外的太多内容来。其实她也高兴于自己能自力更生,与宁毅商量前面腌的不够多,中间万一缺货的应急措施等等。 In the morning, crossroad, car and Four Seas Building, Nie Yunzhu conducts the arm the bamboo basket is telling various small two matching the time, decides to inquire inside story slightly, wants to come in her, matter this/should cannot withdraw the responsibility with Ning Yi mostly. 清晨、路口、小车、四海楼,聂云竹挎着竹篮过来告诉小二各种搭配的时候,决定稍稍打听一下其中内幕,在她想来,事情多半该是与宁毅脱不开干系的。 „...... Brother Xiao'Er, days before made you buy Century Egg in the past, is anyone of Ah…... I wants to understand, actually is which people like eating this.” “……小二哥,前几日让你过去买松花蛋的,都是些什么人啊……我想了解一下,到底是哪些人爱吃这个。” „Oh, is some learned talent, there is saying that this named Emerald Egg Riches and Honors Egg, the villain heard yesterday in the past accidentally, one of them came back from Dongjing, Old Master of high school...... this grade of person also knew the name of Century Egg, Young Lady Nie this Century Egg, is it possible that from the Dongjing study the novel thing...... other places have not sold no wonder right......, the miss you looked, yesterday wanted this Century Egg, was that talent Old Master.” “哦,皆是些有学问的才子呢,也有说这个叫翡翠蛋富贵蛋的,昨天小人过去无意中听见,其中一人还是自东京回来,高中的老爷……这等人也知松花蛋之名,聂姑娘这松花蛋,莫非是自东京学过来的新奇事物么……难怪其它地方没有卖呢……对了对了,姑娘你看,昨日要这松花蛋的,便是那位才子老爷。” Nie Yunzhu is smiling turned the head around, that side has two famous litterateur people to walk, Shen Miao first sees on the counter Century Egg that takes from the bamboo basket, thought that Brother Li goal unexpectedly already achieved, put out a hand to hold interesting Gu Yanzhen. When Gu Yanzhen looks, was seeing Century Egg that the country girl who wears the kerchief will be used in selling takes, quite felt interesting region Shen Miao to smile several lowly, after 12 seconds, the words in mouth are still saying, the vision has actually been shocked...... 聂云竹笑着回过头去,那边有两名士人正走进来,沈邈是首先看见柜台上从竹篮里拿出来的松花蛋的,心想李兄的目的倒是已经达到了,有趣地伸手捅了捅顾燕桢。顾燕桢望过来时,正见到一名围着头巾的村姑将用于售卖的松花蛋拿出来,也是颇感有趣地域沈邈低笑了几句,一两秒后,口中的话还在说着,目光却已然愣住了……
