Chapter 163 第163章 Early spring and challenge 初春、挑战 When time side arrive in the afternoon, from near in Qinhuai River the downtown passes through, swarming is the pedestrian, beginning of the spring after the snow melts, the trade route of communication also started to go through from Jiangning City in round trip. Often obviously the traveler of long journey pulls the horses to pass through from the downtown , nearby there is a dart team trade route that arranges clothes, protected the carriages and horses enormously and powerful the line, some are the local area, there is not a far city to come, way Jiangning, then can also relax slightly some, holds the blade to take the bodyguards of spear/gun to look left and right in the downtowns, the loud speech, is discussing the liveliness of city with the companion. 时间方至下午,自秦淮河边的街市上走过时,远远近近的皆是行人,开春雪融之后,来往的商旅也开始自江宁城中穿行来去了。不时可见远行的旅人牵着马匹自街市走过,也有附近整装的镖队商旅,浩浩荡荡地护了车马而行,有的是本地出发的,也有自不远的城市过来,途径江宁,便也稍稍可以放松些许,持刀拿枪的镖师们在街市间左右顾盼,大声说话,与同伴议论着城市的繁华。 Once goes out of town, steps the journey truly, this and other lively scenes, but was also rare. 一旦出了城,真正踏上旅途,这等繁华的景象,可也就难得一见了。 Path both sides shop entrance is hanging the flag or the signboard of fluttering, somewhat is often used to embark or the stone steps crevice of wash clothes in the riverside shops. Shortly after the snow melts, the surrounding willow tree has not germinated, some unexpectedly bird already flew, called persuasively. Above the river surface ocean waves has the decorated boat line, the music and song is intermittent. 道路两旁的店铺门口挂着招展的旗帜或是招牌,临近河边的店铺间往往有些用于上船或是浣衣的石阶空隙。雪融不久,周围的柳树尚未发芽,倒是一些鸟儿已经飞了过来,婉转而鸣。河面碧波之上有画舫行来,笙歌阵阵。 „Master, you look at Scholar(egghead) on that decorated boat to call Yuan Li probably, in the past few days had also visited Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa.” “师父,你看那画舫上的书生好像叫袁立,前些天也去拜访过驸马爷爷的。” In the weather of this grade of early spring, cannot be popular too many intense feelings. Ning Yi carried long bundle at this time, is walking with Little Princess Zhou Pei in the street, behind the side also the attire low-key stature but actually quite tall and strong middle-aged man, this person is a Royal Palace guard, surnamed Song, named Qian. Zhou Pei and Zhou Junwu attend class in Yushan Academy, always also two guards wait in the , since at this time Zhou Pei must look for Kang Xian with Ning Yi, at the back of several flintlocks have that yard suddenly, naturally also calls one of them to follow. 这等初春的天气里,兴不起太多紧张的感觉。宁毅此时背了长长的包袱,正与小郡主周佩行走在街边,侧后方也有一名衣着低调身材倒颇为魁梧的中年男子,这人乃是一名王府侍卫,姓宋名千。周佩与周君武在豫山书院上课,向来也有两名侍卫在附近等候,此时周佩既然要与宁毅去找康贤,背着几支突火枪出那小院时,自然也招呼了其中一人跟随。 This person holds the post when Royal Palace the guard are many, if any big surprise, then is also similar to the invisible man to be common, will not give people many existence feeling. 这人在王府中担任侍卫多时,若不出什么大的意外,便也如同隐形人一般,不会给人多少的存在感。 The academy and Emperor's Son-in-Law Residence are separated by somewhat far, but the safe/without matter, Ning Yi likes taking a walk in any case in the city. The Little Zhou Pei itself/Ben has the concern, but naturally cannot declares various in Kou, when to walks one with Ning Yi, listening to this Master to direct saying that some profound and interesting things, then also put aside the mood temporarily. At this time walks on the path of riverside, sees cyan-garbed young master that not far away decorated boat bow stands, recalls matter that oneself knows, then also said to Ning Yi. 书院与驸马府相隔有些远,但横竖无事,宁毅更喜欢在城中散步一阵。小周佩本有心事,但自然不能宣诸于口,待到与宁毅走得一阵,听这师父指指点点说些渊博且有趣的东西,便也暂时放下心情。此时走在河边的道路上,看见不远处画舫船头站立的一名青衫公子,忆起自己知道的事情,便也对宁毅说了起来。 Ning Yi turns head to look toward that side, in that decorated boat is quite lively, obviously is a meeting, cyan-garbed young master is situated in the bow, in the hand a folding fan, the head black silk ribbon turban is floating, quite somewhat demeanor. A white clothing miss also from decorated boat *** come, stands talks with him in his nearby, generally is the miss who in decorated boat is invited along, stature unexpectedly is good, is only the distant being able to see clearly appearance. 宁毅扭头朝那边望去,那画舫之中颇为热闹,显然又是一场聚会,青衫的公子立于船头,手中一把折扇,头上纶巾飘飘,颇有几分风度。一名白衣姑娘也自画舫***来,站在他身边陪他说话,大抵是画舫中作陪的姑娘,身材倒是不错,只是远远的看不清样貌。 Turns head to visit Zhou Pei again, sees only her hand to raise the long skirt gently, when making oneself be insufficient to smear skirt hem in the vanguard, at the same time elongated the neck, have a relish is looking at that decorated boat, at this time a pursuing star small female student appearance of Eight Trigrams (gossip), actually is quite lovable. 再扭头望望周佩,只见她一只手轻轻提着长裙子,让自己在前行时不至于弄脏裙摆,一边伸长了脖子,饶有兴致地望着那画舫,此时一副八卦的追星小女生模样,倒也颇为可爱。 „...... It seems like the Bright Jade Square ship, does not know that is naturally Yin Xue or Huaping, the teacher you guesses what they are saying?” “……好像是明玉坊的船,不知道是那是尹雪还是画屏,老师你猜他们在说什么？” That Bright Jade Square in some Jiangning also fame, Yin Xue and Huaping two miss indeed advertisements. This matter at present in any case can be regarded misdemeanor, so long as there are talent beautiful woman, exaggerating one is the charming story. Zhou Pei also listens to this grade of story to grow up since childhood, at this time was interested, Ning Yi actually narrowed the eye to look, attractive decorated boat went in the aura of early spring, truly was also the pleasing to the eye aura. 那明玉坊在江宁也有些名气,尹雪与画屏两位姑娘正是其中的招牌。这种事情在如今横竖算不得坏事,只要有才子佳人,渲染一番便是佳话。周佩从小也是听着这等故事长大的,这时候颇感兴趣,宁毅倒也眯着眼睛看了看,漂亮的画舫行驶在初春的气息里,确实也是赏心悦目的气息。 „Yuan Li this name has heard probably, very fierce?” “袁立这名字好像是听说过,很厉害的吧？” Zhou Pei wants to nod to say fiercely, the soon after mouth sips, nevertheless is blinking to look at this Master. That person of fame has, can visit Kang Xian together, many could speak is the evidence, is only in present Jiangning, if these five characters were placed with „Ning Yi Ning Liheng” in the same place, many somewhat was weak. Had a look at this Master to carry long to wrap in the back, questioned the appearance that did not fake with a smile, Zhou Pei also somewhat was suddenly helpless, the interest in that side talent beautiful woman also somewhat reduced, only opened the mouth to mutter. 周佩本想点头说厉害,随后嘴一抿,却是眨着眼睛望了望这师父。那人名气是有一些的,能够与人一同拜访康贤,多少说得上话便是证据,只是在如今的江宁,若与“宁毅宁立恒”这五个字摆在一起,却多少有些无力。看看这师父背了个长包裹在背后,笑着问话又不似作伪的样子,周佩一时间也有些无奈,对那边才子佳人的兴趣也有些减了,只开口咕哝一番。 „Fortunately, in the past few days debated in Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa and person, mentioned the northern matter, actually was fervent. Few days ago the teacher does not sign in that expostulation? He is also the most warm-hearted person, these days heard that is discussing these, today definitely is also...... was a pity that Jin Nation and Liao Nation discussed with, made war again does not know that needed several years, otherwise heard that he then wanted the will of effect class surpassing, renounced the pen for the sword......” “还好吧,前些天在驸马爷爷家中与人辩论,说起北方的事情,倒也是慷慨激昂。前些日子老师不也在那份谏言上签了名的么？他也是其中最热心的一人呢,这些日子听说都在与人议论这些,今天肯定也是的……可惜金国与辽国谈和了,再开战不知要几年,否则听说他便要效班超之志,投笔从戎……” „actually does not use for several years......” “倒也不用几年……” Ning Yi smiled, actually also nods. He and Zhou Pei, Song Qian have proceeded, decorated boat also leads the way slowly, middle the music and song sensuous dance, has Scholar(egghead) to read poems indistinctly, the comfortable combination of Qinhuai River, in the bustle of this downtown makes noise. The Zhou Pei small broken step place follows in side: „Master also said how many years doesn't use? In the past few days followed Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa to go to that side Qin Family Grandpa, like this they also guessed......” 宁毅笑了笑,却也点了点头。他与周佩、宋千一直往前走,画舫也是缓缓前行,当中笙歌艳舞,隐约也有书生吟起诗来,将秦淮河的闲适混杂在这街市的熙攘喧闹间。周佩小碎步地跟在旁边:“师父也说不用几年？前些天跟着驸马爷爷去秦家爷爷那边,他们也是这样猜的……” The little misses are frowning, soon after remembers anything, said mystically: „Master, do you know the Grandpa Qin matter?” 小姑娘皱着眉头,随后又想起什么,神神秘秘地说道:“师父,你知道秦爷爷的事情吗？” „What matter?” “什么事？” „Uh...... is that Black Water Treaty matter, in the past I only know that the Grandpa Qin knowledge is very fierce, Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa is very good with his friendship, does not know that he handled anything, recently hears suddenly.” Zhou Pei pondered, „what Black Water Treaty matter, the matter of losing a battle...... Qin Family Grandpa was occupied by here, no one in the past visits him, no one too raised, the person who recently visited were also many, the person who said were also many. however listens to some people to raise in secret, there is to scold his, said that he handled the things of many seeking fame, there is words that is revolting to the ear, said that he...... said Grandpa Qin is a traitor to China......” “呃……就是那黑水之盟的事情,往年我只知道秦爷爷学问很厉害,驸马爷爷跟他交情很好,倒不知道他做了些什么事情,最近一段时间才忽然听人说了起来。”周佩想了想,“什么黑水之盟的事情,打败仗的事情……秦家爷爷以往住在这里,都没什么人来探访他,也没什么人太多提起,最近探访的人也多了,说的人也多了。可是私下里听一些人提起,也有骂他的,说他做了很多沽名钓誉的事情,也有更加不堪入耳的话,说他……说秦爷爷是汉奸的……” The little misses are frowning: „I asked Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa recently, Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa does not say anything, only said that everything feared must cover the coffin to be able the conclusion and so on, now also says. I know probably the matter and Jin Nation Liao Nation possibly has the relations, but Imperial Son-in-Law Grandpa visits Grandpa Qin each time, Grandpa Qin does not agree discussed these, but Tiannan north spoke some idle talks, probably to these matter point also does not relate hearts......” 小姑娘皱着眉头:“我最近问驸马爷爷,驸马爷爷却不说什么,只说凡事怕是要盖棺才能定论之类的,现在还不到说的时候。我大概知道事情和金国辽国可能有关系,不过每次驸马爷爷去拜访秦爷爷,秦爷爷都不肯谈论这些,只是天南地北的说些闲话,好像对这些事情一点也不关心……” „The several years ago things, my actually is not very clear......” Ning Yi pondered, soon after shakes the head. Recently, in the marketplaces some rumors of biography he also heard probably, but these rumors said most profound, incredible. Only knows for seven years ago perhaps during that anything Black Water Treaty is Old Qin participates, signed at sixes and sevens contract that and loses dignity and has the country insulted, now some people raise this matter, said that the contradiction between Jin and Liao in then set the foreshadowing for at that time, then digs out „Qin Siyuan” this name, but this grade of matter not believing is naturally in the majority. “几年前的事情,我倒也不是很清楚……”宁毅想了想,随后摇了摇头。最近一段时间,市井间传的一些流言他大概也听说了些,只是这些流言说得玄之又玄,不足为信。只知道七年前那什么黑水之盟或许便是秦老参与其间,签了个乱七八糟且丧权辱国的合约,如今有人提起这事,说金辽之间的矛盾在当时便埋下了伏笔,便挖出“秦嗣源”这个名字来,但这等事情自然还是不信者居多。 In the past Old Qin and Kang Xian quite liked discussing the under the heavens situation, as of late, regarding the matter of north, discussion really few nevertheless facts. Especially when recently Jin Nation and Liao Nation discussed with suddenly, Yelü Yanxi conferred Wanyan Aguda is Sacred Emperor, after the news came, just like to the Wu Dynasty person who anticipating Jin and Liao is battling against threw big basin cold water, theoretically Liao Emperor Yelü Yanxi this step drew back, regardless of the genuine and fake, always defends several years of safe and secure day, the war that will have shortly must be postponed. When this time, Ning Yi visits Old Qin occasionally, discovered that old person to this matter, is discussed unexpectedly did not discuss, as if already all does not pay attention. unexpectedly Kang Xian passes Old Qin that side number of times, was more indistinct. 以往秦老与康贤颇爱谈论天下局势,最近这段时间,对于北方之事,谈论甚少却是事实。特别是当最近金国与辽国忽然谈和,耶律延禧册封了完颜阿骨打为大圣皇帝,消息传来之后,俨然给期待着金辽开战的武朝人泼了一大盆冷水,理论上来说辽帝耶律延禧这步一退,不论真假,总是守住几年平安的日子,眼看将起的战争又要被延期。这种时刻,宁毅偶尔去拜访秦老时,才发现老人家对这事情,竟是谈也不谈了,似乎已经全不理会。倒是康贤过去秦老那边的次数,却隐约多了起来。 Some atmosphere Ning Yi can feel, guessed that naturally also has. But he is not the true participant, really knows that Kang Xian of inside story also turned very quiet not to open the mouth at this time, this and other at serious things, he is not certainly good the attitude that makes to vow solemnly to speak irresponsibly anything to Zhou Pei. Felt person who the person who achieves the great accomplishment achieves the great accomplishment eventually, *** is also good to injure the country also well, with that decorated boat above, the powder piles discussed the feeling that must renounce the pen for the sword is. 有些气氛宁毅是能够感受到的,猜测自然也有。但他并非真正的参与者,就连真正知道内情的康贤这时也屏住了呼吸不对此开口,这等严肃的事情上,他当然也不好做出信誓旦旦的态度对周佩乱说些什么。只是觉得做大事的人终究是做大事的人,***也好误国也好,与那画舫之上、脂粉堆间商量要投笔从戎的感觉还是不同的。 At that moment said with Zhou Pei some related Jin Nation Liao Nation things, that Wanyan Aguda promotes Jurchen tribe in Changbai Mountains and Heilong River by one's effort, makes „Jurchen less than ten thousand, full ten thousand not enemy” the myth, protects the step to reach the net even to make by the 20000 losses 700,000 this grade of scores comes, is really the anomaly to the extreme hero character. Wu Dynasty was clear the person who truly these information are not many, but in the past year in Ning Yi under spoke thoughtlessly to tell, one group of students including Zhou Pei also wore and feared to this person, but were well few in Jurchen people, Wanyan Aguda not young, he must extinguish Liao (distant) soon after to threaten the Wu Dynasty possibility in the lifetime is not big. 当下与周佩说了些有关金国辽国的事情,那完颜阿骨打在白山黑水间以一己之力振兴女真一族,打出“女真不满万,满万不可敌”的神话,护步达冈甚至打出以20000败七十万这等战绩来,委实是变态到极点的英雄人物。武朝真正清楚这些信息的人不多,但最近一年以来在宁毅的随口讲述下,包括周佩在内的一帮学生对这人也是既佩且怕,但好在女真人少,完颜阿骨打也不年轻了,他要在有生之年灭辽随后威胁武朝的可能性还是不大的。 Zhou Pei likes discussing these matters, occasionally speculates, asked one: „Yes? Yes?” She said these things, in the heart previous depressed also solved temporarily. At noon because worried only gnawed a small vegetable/dish tied ham, at this time took a long section of road, belly nevertheless was hungry, at this time happen to was close to Zhu's opening shortly after Jin'er's Store newly, the little miss then makes a veiled attack, the request stops to rest, eats something , had a look at this Zhu's new shop —— Ning Yi to lead their sister and brother to go to the Zhu's main office while convenient to eat several things in the past. 周佩喜欢谈论这些事,偶尔推测一番,问一句:“是吧？是吧？”她说得一阵这些事情,心中先前的郁闷也就暂时解了。中午因为气闷只啃了一只小小的菜肉卷,这时候又走了长长的一段路,肚子却是饿了,这时候正好接近竹记新开张没多久的锦儿店,小姑娘便旁敲侧击一番,要求停下来休息一下,吃些东西,顺便也看看这竹记的新店铺——以往宁毅是带着她们姐弟俩去竹记的总店吃过几次东西的。 When two people therefore toward that side in the past, arrived at the shop entrance quickly, nevertheless met two people who came from that side. These two one probably 50 years old, figure tall thin, although is the scholar to dress up but whole body actually to have the air/Qi of riches and honor is bossy to foster year to year, looks serious, vision proud. Before this person of Ning Yi has met, is Jiangning famous Great Confucianist, named Zhang Rui, character Hongyuan, is one of the Kang Royal Residence teachers, it is said was quite thought highly. 两人于是朝那边过去,快到店门口时,却是遇上了从那边过来的两个人。这两人其中一位大概五十来岁,身形高瘦,虽做文士打扮但周身倒也有一股常年颐指气使养成的富贵之气,神情严肃,目光傲岸。这人宁毅以前见过一面,是江宁有名气的大儒,名叫张瑞,字宏源,同时也是康王府的教习之一,据说颇受器重。 Another person is 30 -year-old appearances, stature slightly overweight, narrowing the eye is also being serious, is the scholar to dress up, took a fan. This person of Ning Yi actually did not know. That Zhang Rui recognizes Ning Yi, two people said several then come toward here, but first nevertheless Zhou Pei saluted in the past: „Scholar Zhang and Scholar Li are good.” 另一人则是三十来岁的样子,身材微胖,眯着眼睛也是神情严肃,同样做文士打扮,拿了把扇子。这人宁毅却不认识。那张瑞认出宁毅,两人说了几句便朝这边过来,不过首先却是周佩过去行了礼:“张夫子、李夫子好。” The two return a courtesy hastily: „Princess, is not at all, is not at all.” 那两人连忙回礼:“郡主也在,不敢当,不敢当。” The soon after talent and Ning Yi greeted, introduced mutually, actually these two all were the Kang Royal Residence teachers, quite had the fame for talent in Jiangning City. That surnamed Li fatty named Li Tong, narrows the eye to size up Ning Yi: „Originally your excellency is Ning Yi Ning Liheng, the well met given name, has missed to see, today is really the chance encounter.” 随后才与宁毅打招呼,互相介绍,其实这两人皆是康王府教习,于江宁城中也颇有才名。那李姓的胖子名叫李桐,眯着眼睛打量宁毅:“原来阁下便是宁毅宁立恒,久仰大名,一直无缘得见,今日真是巧遇。” Zhang Rui is looking at Ning Yi and Zhou Pei, is somewhat disgruntled: „Liheng brings the body of Princess thousand gold (daughter) to shake in this grade of marketplaces unexpectedly idly, does this seem like some...... is not appropriate?” 张瑞则望着宁毅与周佩,有些不悦:“立恒竟带着郡主千金之躯在这等市井间闲晃,这似乎有些……不大妥当吧？” If general meeting by chance, perhaps exchanged greetings also to separate, but says several at present, Zhang , Li actually started the matter to come up the topic changed to „asking for advice” and „discussing without doing” and so on, and mentioned the Ning Yi way of teaching, as well as brought Little Princess to walk back and forth in this grade of downtowns somewhat is really improper. 若是一般的偶遇,或许寒暄一阵也就分开了,但眼下说得几句,张、李二人却开始你一言我一语地将话题转到“讨教”、“坐而论道”之类的事情上去,并且说起宁毅的教学方式,以及带着小郡主在这等街市间走来走去委实有些不妥。 Reason actually of these things its have from, at the end of last year Little Pei and Junwu acknowledges Ning Yi as master, the plan on a grand scale, King Kang went to Su Family to pay a visit by the strong momentum personally, afterward was rejected by Ning Yi, the acknowledging as teacher ritual then comes between the guidance by Kang Xian, got rid of all unnecessary things. But as the Kang Royal Residence teacher, these person of nevertheless knows that Little Prince and Little Princess were many Master. 这些事情的理由倒也其来有自,去年年底小佩与君武拜宁毅为师,原本打算大张旗鼓,康王亲自去苏家登门拜访以壮声势,后来被宁毅拒绝,拜师礼便由康贤居中引导,一切从简了些。但作为康王府的教习,这些人却是知道小王爷与小郡主多了一名师父了的。 In Royal Palace feudal official quite a lot, one group of teachers have the fame for talent, the position is also good, but mainly taught that in Royal Palace plants the juniors of person respectively, even some people and Little Prince, Little Princess still have the masters and disciples status, Master that but seeks for unlike that families specially and specially has. 王府之中臣属颇多,一帮教习颇具才名,地位也不错,但主要还是教导王府之中各种下人的子弟,就算有的人与小王爷、小郡主也有师徒身份,但与那种人家专门、特意去寻找的师父自有不同。 The Ning Yi 20 -year-old over ages, were called Jiangning 1st talent, was not envied not possibly, at that time these Scholar know, also prepared the large weaponry, looked for the family/home brothel to prepare to manage poetry association, soon after handed over the invitation to Ning Yi, expected that oneself these person of weight/quantity always enough, everyone in Royal Palace, this face Ning Yi must give. 宁毅二十岁出头的年纪,被人称为江宁第一才子,不被嫉妒不可能,当时这些夫子们知道以后也准备了颇大的阵仗,找家青楼准备办个诗会,随后递了请柬给宁毅,料想自己这些人分量总够了,大家都在王府,这个面子宁毅不可能不给。 Who knows that the sign of Ning Yi Royal Palace guest official is the Kang Xian stopper comes, he cannot go to Royal Palace to work, everyone can also be regarded colleague, moreover Ning Yi was just right with the Su Tan'er sentiment at that time, gets married for two years, can be called the intrigue is just sincere, Su Tan'er needs him to accompany is visiting everywhere, he throws the invitation according to the convention one side, replied a mass production turning down letter/believes, voluminous one big, the meaning is also seven characters: Has the matter, didn't go, sorry. 谁知道宁毅连个王府客卿的牌子都是康贤塞过来的,他不需去王府做事,大家也算不得同僚,况且当时宁毅跟苏檀儿感情正好,成亲两年才同房,称得上奸情正笃,苏檀儿需要他陪着到处拜访,他按照惯例将请柬扔到一边,回了一封量产型的婉拒信,洋洋洒洒一大篇,意思也就是七个字:有事,不去了,抱歉。 These people turn the book review specially for nearly half a month, prepares some topics and so on, finally anticipates actually to fail, angry. Today Zhang , Li meet Ning Yi on the street, that surnamed Li originally regarding „Jiangning 1st talent” reputation also has some is disturbed, but sees a Ning Yi being wet behind the ears appearance, perhaps some talents, can be called one „strange” character, cannot call absolutely „abundantly”, but „essence”, helps Zhang Rui decide immediately together must compete with this person in the knowledge while today, what in mouth natural name is „asking for advice” two characters. 这些人专门翻书复习近半个月,准备些题目之类的,结果期待却落了空,大为愤慨。今天张、李二人才在街上遇见了宁毅,那姓李的原本对于“江宁第一才子”的名头还有些忐忑,但见宁毅一副乳臭未干的样子,或许有些才华,称得上一个“奇”字,却绝对称不上“博”而“精”,当下也便于张瑞一同决定要趁着今天与这人在学问上比拼一番,口中自然称的是“讨教”二字。 Asked for advice to could say does not dare, but others, if said that sits together speaks is actually not able to reject, soon after, several people of Jin'er's Store that opened toward not far away newly walked, on soon after 2nd floor, looked for a passenger compartment to sit. 讨教或许可以说不敢,但人家若说只是一同坐坐说说话却无法拒绝,随后,几人朝着不远处新开张的锦儿店走了过去,随后上了二楼,找个包间坐下来。 ************ ************ This thinks that last night can the code come out, finally to morning...... 本以为昨晚就能码出来,结果又到早上了……
