Chapter 137 第137章 The turning over the palm is the rain 覆手为雨 „Makes way, be not pushing I......” “让开让开让开,别挤着我……” „Low voice.” “小声一点。” „Has what relations, that side cannot hear......” “有什么关系,那边又听不到……” Sound in broken bits. The boy and young young girl hide near the pillars of three building porches look toward below, the time is in the afternoon. 细细碎碎的声音。男孩与小少女躲在三楼廊檐的柱子边朝下看,时间是下午。 The piece of street situated in eastern volume is in Jiangning City a relative idleness stretch of block, suits the leisure, the brothel that but this place is in vogue are not many, Teahouse Alehouse stands in great numbers, each family's shop upturned eave arch and eave corner/horn interlocking, below street is not wide, sells the peddler collections of various characteristics desserts common, in each family's tavern teahouse also has to perform or explains the Chinese classics the accumulation. At present this fragrance warm teahouse is neighbor is biggest is also the most famous teahouse, above three buildings can see the roofs and pedestrian sceneries of nearby many teahouses, but three buildings all are the passenger compartments, the price is also expensive, at this time presents two child hat and coats near this corridor parapet is magnificent, the makings also compared with the noble air that ordinary families' children come, at this time does not know that discovered anything, hid here stealthily. 位于东集这边的这片街道算是江宁城中相对安闲的一片街区,适合休闲,但此地盛行的青楼却不多,茶馆酒楼林立,一家家的店铺飞檐斗拱、檐角相接,下方的街道不宽,常有卖各种特色点心的小贩汇集,一家家的酒馆茶楼里也多有唱戏或说书者聚集。眼下这家香暖茶肆算是附近最大也是最出名的一家茶楼,三楼之上可以看见附近许多茶楼的屋顶与行人风景,不过三楼皆是包间,价格也贵,此时出现在这走廊栏杆边的两个孩子衣帽华丽,气质也远比一般人家的孩子来的贵气,此时也不知道发现了什么,鬼鬼祟祟地躲在了这边。 „Aaaahhhhhh...... he gave the person to pour tea unexpectedly, certainly is not speaking what word of praise......” “啊啊啊啊……他居然给人倒茶了,一定不是在说什么好话……” „The fellow complexion gets better strange, all of a sudden red all of a sudden white......” “那家伙脸色变得好奇怪,一下子红一下子白……” „Sneering Tiger, is definitely feigning, Wū Family that person must by irritated dead......” “笑面虎,肯定又在装傻充愣,乌家那个人要被气死了……” „Elder Sister you were also air/Qi...... my didn't say by the teacher frequently well, I made a mistake......” “姐姐你也常常被老师气……好吧我不说了,我错了……” The young young girl made an effort to stare boy one eyes. 小少女用力瞪了男孩子一眼。 Separated a street diagonally opposite, in teahouse that is called Respectful Bamboo Forest, two men seem like sitting drink tea to chat in the 2nd floor window, soon , a man left, another man starts to read, writes to draw. The two sister and brother on here Alehouse start to discuss must run to greet. 隔了一条街道斜对面,那间名叫敬竹林的茶楼上,两名男子看起来正坐在二楼的窗户边喝茶聊天,不久之后,其中一名男子离开了,另一名男子开始低头看书,写写画画。这边酒楼上的两姐弟开始商量着要不要跑过去打招呼。 „Perhaps is writing some interesting things......” young boy to hold the chin in the parapet, said. “说不定是在写些有趣的东西……”小男孩在栏杆边托着下巴,如此说道。 The young young girl has not spoken, a sound made a sound from the back: „Wú? naturally who Ah?” 小少女还没有说话,一个声音从背后响了起来:“唔？那是何人啊？” Two children turn head hastily, actually saw silent already to have many people to appear in rear area. At this time what bent down by them was one probably about 40 -year-old middle-aged man, the country character face, had a about three cuns (2.5 cm) beard, in the dignity also brought some prosperous-looking, on the face has the smile. Such was asked by him, the young young girl named Zhou Pei is blinking, rumble as if not want to speak the truth, is called the Zhou Junwu boy to purse the lips suddenly, starts to shake the head fast. That middle-aged man then faint one in smile surprised. 两个孩子连忙回头,却见无声无息中已经有不少人出现在了后方。这时候俯身在他们旁边的是一名大概四十岁左右的中年男人,国字脸,留了近三寸长的胡须,威严之中也带些富态,脸上有着笑容。被他这样一问,名叫周佩的小少女眨着眼睛,咕噜噜地似乎不太想说实话,叫做周君武的男孩子则是陡然一抿嘴,开始快速摇头。那中年男人便在笑容中微微一愕。 „Oh, cannot say......” “喔,不能说……” „No, we did not know.” The Junwu reveal tooth smiles to open the mouth, nearby Elder Sister rumble the vision of chaotic revolutions stopped suddenly. That middle-aged man „Oh” nod, looked at one toward that side teahouse 2nd floor: „But, looks at this person of young for the father, handsome and intelligent, pours to become friends with.” At this point thought of anything suddenly, bends down, with tone that only then the opposite party can hear in young young girl, but the ear said: „The Pei'er also has two years must arrive at the year of coming of age, just now so many talent chatted you not to go, is it possible that was Junwu here......” “没,我们不认识。”君武露齿一笑开了口,旁边的姐姐咕噜噜乱转的目光陡然停了下来。那中年男子“哦”的点了点头,朝那边茶楼二楼又望了一眼:“不过,为父看此人年纪轻轻,一表人才,倒想要结交一番。”说到这里忽然又想到了什么,俯身下去,用只有对方能听到的语气在小少女而耳边说道:“说起来,佩儿还有两年也就要到及笄之年了,方才如此多的才子聊天你不愿进去,莫非是与君武在这里……” „How possibly!” Zhou Pei opens the mouth suddenly, soon after gawked staring, just now changes to the face one side annoyingly, patted the forehead. The middle-aged man smiled, looks to the nearby some people of accompanying: „Then, pours really does not know that person of is who, everyone/various may have to know?” “怎么可能！”周佩陡然开了口,随后愣了愣,方才懊恼地将脸转到一边,拍了拍额头。中年男子笑了起来,望向旁边的一些随行之人:“如此一来,倒真不知道那人是谁了,诸位可有知道的吗？” „Returns to the Prince words, this person is Su Residence live-in son-in-law, Ning Yi, Ning Liheng.” nearby 50-year-old accompanying old man smiled, replied submissively in a low voice. “回王爷的话,此人乃是苏府赘婿,宁毅,宁立恒。”身边一名50余岁的随行老者笑了笑,拱手低声回答。 „Oh? 1st talent?” Is called the Prince middle-aged person is also startled, soon after looked at the past toward that side, but like this looked like, in that hand entangled the form of bandage to appear young some —— to be extremely natural in any event, the feeling of also with the given name contrast of this 1st talent under just now having, he looked around pair of little children, in the eye somewhat understands clearly, some doubts. “哦？第一才子？”被称为王爷的中年人也是一怔,随后朝那边望过去,只是这样看来,那道手上缠了绷带的身影无论如何都显得太过年轻了一些——当然,也是与这第一才子的名号对比之下方才产生的感觉,他望了望旁边的一对小儿女,眼中有些了然,又有些疑惑。 „Had heard that this person has shocking poetic talent, but has not resulted in sees, everyone/various on the scene is also the erudite person, does not know that may have with it is acquainted......” him is willing to say, if so may recommend for little king, but glimpses pair of children the attitude, transferred the thoughts, „does not know that...... this personal name can be well-off?” “早就听说这人有惊世的诗才,只是未曾得见,在场诸位也都是饱学之士,不知可有与之相识的么……”他愿想说若是如此可替小王引荐一番,但瞥见一对儿女的态度,又转了转心思,“不知……此人名可富实么？” At present this middle-aged person, indeed is Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu father, is occupies Jiangning of King Kang Zhou Yong several imperial family idlers, although withstood/top name of the Prince, but the achievements are nothing, not will make money like his paternal aunt Zhou Xuan and Uncle-in-Law Kang Xian like that. Actually not good poetry, usually to like strolling to see a play, is similar the chicken to fight the matter of dog is also adept, is all right to go hunting, occasionally can hit a target 1-2 rabbits. 眼前这中年人,的确便是周佩与周君武的父亲,也是居住江宁的几名皇室闲人之一的康王周雍,虽说顶了个王爷之名,但建树是没什么的,也不像他的姑姑周萱与姑父康贤那般会赚钱。其实也不好诗文,平日里爱闲逛听戏,类似走鸡斗狗的事情也娴熟,没事出去打打猎,偶尔能射中1-2兔子。 Naturally, poetry and so on matter is always pastime that all the people appeal to both cultured and popular tastes, he many will also pose as a cultured person once in a while. Had this status, wants the elegant time , the association/will somewhat comes elegantly, this time follows after that several people, basically is also talent that Jiangning have several, he such asked, one of them comes out with a smile submissively: „Ning Yi this person, indeed has the talent.” What this said is the word of praise, if there are Su Family several playboys Eh to jump here mostly, the person that because comes out at present unexpectedly was previously celebrating a holiday some Liu Qingdi, but this saying said, he also said with a smile: „Is only recent, Uh...... Heh, this matter has nothing to do with poetry, unexpectedly does not say, Ning Yi poetic talent, below is always admires.” 当然,诗文之类的事情向来是全民雅俗共赏的消遣,他隔一段时间多少也会附庸风雅一番。有了这个身份,想要风雅的时候,也总会有些风雅过来,这次跟随其后的几人,基本也都是江宁有数的才子,他这样一问,其中一人笑着拱手出来:“宁毅此人,的确颇有才华。”这说的是好话,如果有苏家的几名纨绔在这里多半得吓一跳,因为眼前出来的这人竟然是早先有些过节的柳青狄,不过这话说完,他也笑道:“只是最近,呃……呵,此事与诗文无关,倒是不说也罢,宁毅诗才,在下向来是佩服的。” „Oh? This Ning Yi did however have an accident? Qingdi mentioned and listens to might as well, everyone also listens to......” Zhou Yong smilingly to look at him together. “哦？这宁毅可是出什么事了么？青狄且说来听听无妨啊,大伙也一块听听嘛……”周雍笑眯眯地望着他。 The Liu Qingdi complexion fluctuates, hesitant period of time, just now nods saying: „Such being the case, that...... actually this also not something new, perhaps but Your Highness King Kang has not listened, matter actually two months ago mentioned, at that time textile business Su Family had/left an accident/surprise......” 柳青狄脸色变幻,犹豫了好一阵子,方才点头道:“既然如此,那……其实这也并非什么新鲜事了,只是康王殿下恐怕还未听过,事情倒也得从两个月前说起,当时布商苏家出了一件意外……” These two months, the battle in Jiangning textile line range really has good narrative, first is Su Family assassination, was revealed is framing that certain rivals suppose, soon after Su Family in declining tendency, but is stronger, builds the momentum to win Imperial merchant, was actually overturned to the final moment. Although steals others formula to be really immoral, but as a result of many twists and turns of this matter, said at this time, everyone anti- unexpectedly exclamation in struggling of various aspects. However said to Liu Qingdi, the people discovered Ning Yi the role that plays really does not have achievements. 这两个多月的时间里,发生在江宁布行范围内的这番争斗委实有着不错的故事性,先是苏家遇刺,被人揭穿乃是某些敌手设下的陷害,随后苏家于颓势而愈强,营造声势勇夺皇商,到得最后关头却还是被翻了盘。虽说偷他人配方委实不道德,但由于这事情的一波三折,此时说起来,大家反倒是惊叹于其中各方面的明争暗斗。不过待到柳青狄说完,众人才发现宁毅在其中扮演的这一角色委实无甚建树。 Perhaps 1st talent poetry can complete, but if other aspects are mediocre, makes person in the heart think that on the contrary this person only excels at line of gab, rather some interest is wanings. Has a look at that side young man again, this actually is, this grade of person then calculates poetic talent to be fierce, that is also because the talent is good, therefore to bestow on a newly coined phrase said worried, experience eventually insufficient. But in that side teahouse, but saw Ning Yi form also already to receive the thing to pay up, soon after, vanished in the line of sight of people. 第一才子或许诗文做得好,但假如其他方面平庸,反倒让人心中觉得此人只擅夸夸其谈,未免有些意兴阑珊。再看看那边年纪轻轻的男子,这倒也是,这等人便算诗才厉害,那也是因为天分好,因此为赋新词强说愁,阅历终究还是不够的。而在那边的茶楼中,但见宁毅的身影也已经收了东西去结账,随后,消失在了众人的视线里。 „Oh, unexpectedly was a pity......” “哦,倒是可惜了……” Zhou Yong sighed, does not know that was saying did not have to say with the opportunity that Ning Yi met that Su and Wū two families battle, was only in this words, looked around this to some children of thinking otherwise, the vision somewhat was slightly complex, lets accompany to call in the crevice of people, lowered the head to ponder. 周雍叹了口气,也不知在说没了跟宁毅见面的机会还是在说那苏、乌两家的争斗,只是这话语之中,看了看旁边的这对有些不以为然的儿女,目光稍稍有些复杂,让随从招呼众人的空隙中,低头沉思起来。 Liu Qingdi then looks at the direction that Ning Yi vanishes, in the eye flashes through one self-satisfied and hatred. 柳青狄这才望了望宁毅消失的方向,眼中闪过一丝得意与恨意。 Then, is pursing the lips to exchange a look to the sister and brother, is somewhat sly. 一旁,那对姐弟抿着嘴互换了一个眼神,有些狡猾。 ******************** ******************** When the cart driver lifts the curtain screen to tell he already is proficient, Wū Qilong lifted the curtain screen. The time is close to the evening, the sunlight starts becomes inclines, seeming like not so dazzling, it falls in torrents from that end of Wū Family mansion the golden light. The dwelling gate of that magnificent atmosphere seems especially dignified, whenever he saw this at this time, will cannot help but think of the family...... dignified feeling or sense of honor. 当车夫掀开帘子告诉他已经到家的时候,乌启隆掀开了帘子。时间接近傍晚,阳光开始变得倾斜,看起来不那么刺眼,它将金黄色的光从乌家大宅的那端倾泻过来。那华丽大气的宅门显得格外庄严,每当这个时候他看见这一幕,都会不由自主地想到家族的……威严感或是荣誉感。 Remembers that he is young the time to go back to ask mother, the courtyard of our family/home is very why big, why the gate of our family/home with the difference of others family/home. The mother will say, because our Wū Family is Jiangning first textile business. 记得他小得时候回去问母亲,为什么我们家的院子特别大,为什么我们家的门跟别人家的不一样。母亲会说,因为我们乌家是江宁第一的布商。 Wū Family is Jiangning first textile business...... 乌家是江宁第一的布商…… In fact, especially recent some time, one month in rushes about busily, the in his heart such feeling can become especially clear, remembered from infancy to maturity the parents and nearby person speaks these words, when taught him these cognitive scenes. 事实上,特别是最近的一段时间,一个多月的时间里奔波忙碌,他心中这样的感受会变得格外清晰,想起从小到大父母和旁边的人说那些话,教给他这些认知时的情景。 Jiangning, first textile business. 江宁,第一的布商。 This passes through the position that the efforts of many people arrived, from infancy to maturity, in his heart thinks, is how this cognition to turn , is not only Jiangning first textile business. Since childhood he knows very much confidently oneself can achieve this point inevitably, even in the beforehand these days, he once thought that oneself already saw the success of being settled. 这是经过了多少人的努力才到达的位置,从小到大,他心中所想的,是如何将这一认知变成不仅是江宁第一的布商。从小他就很有自信地知道自己必然能做到这一点,甚至在之前的这段时间里,他一度觉得自己已经看到了板上钉钉的成功。 All these, that light, was suddenly black in this in the afternoon. 这一切,那光明,在这个下午忽然就黑了。 Arrived at this time, him on is cool. 到得此时,他身上都是凉的。 Hardly this period of time actually of clear oneself in carriage thought anything, hardly remembers how oneself goes downstairs, sits boards the carriage, the footsteps and body somewhat cannot grasp, light. 几乎不清楚自己在马车里的这段时间到底想了些什么,也几乎不记得自己是如何下了楼,坐上马车的,脚步和身体都有些把握不住,轻飘飘的。 All these will not exist...... 这一切都将不复存在了…… He is so thinking, toward the home person possibly in the place walks. 他如此想着,朝家里人可能在的地方走去。 His some do not even know how should open the mouth, tells the fathers or other person of these things, may have the matter that indeed cannot does not say...... 他甚至都有些不知道该怎么开口,告诉父亲或者其它人这些事情,可有的事情,的确是不能不说的…… ******************** ******************** Wū Qihao goes home, already started to light the lamps, home atmosphere some were not right, a male servant told him to make him go to main hall, passed by the square time, seeing for a long time had not come out very much Fifth Uncle to be held by two maidservant toward here. The Wū Family lights, somewhat shine many. 乌启豪回到家的时候,已经开始掌灯了,家里的气氛有些不对,一名家丁告诉他让他去正厅一趟,路过广场的时候,看见了很久都没有出来过的五叔公正被两名丫鬟扶着往这边来。乌家的灯火,亮得有些多。 He knows that finally was the big deal. These in the warehouse, Resplendent Golden Brocade is fading on the continually, he knows that will happen one day may develop this aspect, may arrive, makes his in the heart sink suddenly, suddenly, already hits anything to call with sluggish Fifth Uncle without enough time, has no more to do with run toward the main hall that side. 他知道终于出大事了。这几日在仓库里,灿金锦持续褪色着,他就知道终有一天可能会发展到这个局面,可到来的时候,还是让他的心中陡然一沉,一时间,也已经来不及与慢吞吞的五叔公打什么招呼,拔腿往正厅那边跑过去。 The father and elder brother, Big Uncle Wū Chengjian, Third Uncle Wū Chengyuan, and even two extremely intimate cousin already arrived in the family/home, these two expression within the home also has the participation of considerable share and draws bonus, but for example Luo Minzhi and so on Storekeeper nevertheless of participation important decision has not come. The people who at this time catch up with perhaps have not eaten meal, nearby of everyone has the simple meal, but no one has the mood to eat. Wū Qihao looked at one, walked toward the front. 父亲、兄长,大伯乌承简,三叔乌承远,乃至于家中两名极亲密的表亲都已经到了,这两名表情在家中也是有相当份额的参与和分红的,但例如骆敏之之类的参与重要决策的掌柜们却是一个也没来。此时赶来的众人或许还没有吃饭,每人的身边都有简单的饭菜,但没人有心情吃。乌启豪看了一眼,往前方走了过去。 Matter is more serious, if because is only the matter of cloth discoloration he imagines, couple days ago everyone should have the preparation. But at this time, father's complexion obvious some were not right, because the person has not arrived in full, he sat on a nearby chair at this time, although in surface also below consciousness maintained dignified and calm, but look some are not right, Wū Qihao came close he to respond, only heard the father is sneering of below consciousness. 事情比他想象的还要严重,因为假如只是布匹褪色的事,前几天大家就该有心理准备了。但这时候,父亲的脸色明显有些不对,由于人没到齐,他此时只是坐在旁边的一张椅子上,虽然表面上还在下意识的保持威严与镇定,但眼神却有些不对了,乌启豪走到近处他才反应过来,只听得父亲是在下意识的冷笑。 „...... Vermilion doors early in life’s advancement, they laugh at others while congratulating themselves....... Known each other all our lives, yet we also have disagreements...... Heh......” that sneers is not virulent smiling, sounding, is only somewhat exhausted. He saw the present second son, shakes the head. “……朱门先达笑弹冠……白首相知犹按剑……呵……”那冷笑并非是充满敌意的笑,听起来,只是有些疲惫。他看了看眼前的二儿子,摇了摇头。 „Everyone was deceived...... others simply is not serious us by him Ah…... Oh, Qihao......” “所有人都被他一个人骗了……人家根本没把我们当回事啊……哦,启豪……” „Father, how?” “爹,怎么了？” „Do you eat meal?” “你吃饭没？” „Made one to take the meal, first ate. Had an accident, asks your Big Brother......” “叫人拿饭菜来,先吃点。出事了,问问你大哥吧……” Wū Qihao sees the father to close the eye, rubbed the forehead, when opens again, that vision already stabilizes, erased just now absent-minded of that moment, changes that reserved and vicious that belongs to textile line Xingshou and Jiangning textile business first Patriarch, but passes the moment, the vision is looking at the room corner, long shouted exhales. 乌启豪看见父亲闭上眼睛,揉了揉额头,再睁开时,那目光已经稳定下来,抹掉了方才那片刻的恍惚,变回那个属于布行行首、江宁布商第一家家主的内敛与凶狠,只是过得片刻,目光望着房间一角,还是长长地呼出了一口气。 That is not the good signal. 那不是什么好的讯号。 The Wū Qihao turned around trend sits in depending on the elder brother on entrance position , that form somewhat is at this moment peaceful, is only the vision is somewhat cold. Fortunately, the elder brother was calm at this time, he is thinking the countermeasure. 乌启豪转身走向坐在靠门口位置上的兄长,此时此刻,那身影有些安静,只是目光有些冷。还好,兄长这时候是镇定的,他在想对策。 „Elder Brother.” “哥。” „Sits.” Wū Qilong looked at his one eyes, patted nearby seat. Under his flurried time already passed, can repress the mood at this time. When sits down to Younger Brother, just now opens the mouth lightly: „The arrange/cloth in warehouse fades, now afternoon I outside, met Ning Liheng, then......” he paused, seeing old Fifth Uncle to come from the entrance, stood together with the people, „then we said some words, I knew the whole thing......” “坐。”乌启隆看了他一眼,拍了拍旁边的位子。他的慌乱期已经过了,这时候能够按捺下心情。待到弟弟坐下,方才淡淡地开了口:“仓库里的布还是褪色,今天下午我在外面,遇上了宁立恒,然后……”他顿了顿,看见年迈的五叔公从门口进来了,与众人一同站起来,“然后我们说了些话,我才知道整件事情……” Light already of in the daytime fades completely, the lamp is brighter, the night is deeper, the Wū Family inside the mansion, the wind sound/rumor shook the little flame, in Wū Family holds the person in key position to start toward the main hall to gather. 白日里的光已经完全褪色,灯愈亮,夜愈深,乌家的大宅里,风声摇动了一点点的火光,一位位在乌家占有重要位置的人开始往正厅这边聚集过来。 Like holds with Wū Chenghou together and has the qualifications to participate in various brothers of important matter, participated in this family's paternal lineage maternal relatives in the business truly, or was young one generation received making good use truly, already can enters the inner chamber from the main room Wū Qilong Wū Qihao and the others, either once was in the market and Su Yu with the Wū Family senior who the stage competed with. Wū Family, Jiangning first textile business, these are controlling the forces of nature the participants who on the market or once controlled the forces of nature, already was alarmed by the at this time crisis, must be assemble, works as one to discuss that dealt. 如同与乌承厚一同掌家、有资格参与重要事情的各房兄弟,真正在生意上参与了这个家族的堂亲表戚,又或者是年轻一辈真正受了重用,已经可以登堂入室的乌启隆乌启豪等人,又或者是曾经在商场与苏愈同台竞争的乌家前辈。乌家,江宁第一布商,这些在商场上正在呼风唤雨或者曾经呼风唤雨的参与者们,都已经被此时的危机所惊动,必须得齐聚一堂,齐心协力商议应对了。 Two months ago, when competes for Imperial merchant, Wū Family does not have, even if here 1/4 person gathers, especially Wū Family like Fifth Uncle great uncle these characters of senior statesman level, once they was also stamped stamps the feet can let the character who Jiangning weaving shook three to shake, at this time has drawn back to enjoy old age in peace, but to at this time, actually also has to come out to deal with this crisis again. 两个多月前,即便是争夺皇商时,乌家也没有哪怕这里四分之一的人聚集起来,特别是乌家的如同五叔公八叔公这些元老级的人物,曾经他们也是跺一跺脚都能让江宁织造界震三震的人物,这时候已然退下来安享晚年,但到得此时,却也不得不再度出来应对这片危局。 Two months ago, the Wū Family people are competing for these things of wish with ease, that Scholar(egghead) some child's play appeared, but some child's play handle the matter that made everyone laugh, in superficial chat like today's teahouse, speech, pours tea, no one has discovered anything, however two months, that only pours tea hand, turns inside out in this superficial process finally at will, changes into the murderous intention of being drowned, toward this many people, depresses loudly! 两个多月前,乌家的众人轻松地争夺着想要的那些东西,那个书生有些儿戏地出现了,只是有些儿戏地做了些让所有人发笑的事情,如同今天茶楼上轻描淡写的聊天,说话,斟茶,谁也没有发现什么,然而两个多月的时间,那只斟茶的手,也终于在这番轻描淡写的过程中随意地翻了过来,化为灭顶的杀机,朝着这许许多多的人,轰然压下！
