Chapter 176 第176章 Duckweed water and old friend 萍水、故交 The sunlight shoots from the branches and leaves of tree, according to the blue stone in lane, scatters the golden yellow three people of physique and smile, looks from afar, just like is in delightful February/two months, encouraging scene that the old friend has a reunion. 阳光从树的枝叶间射过来,照在巷子里的青石上,也将三人的身姿与笑容撒上金黄色,远远看去,俨然便是春意盎然的二月里,旧友重逢的可喜景象。 „......, because the past years was promoted, below also went to Bianjing (Kaifeng)...... my father to be the duty of chancellor with my father in Ministry of Revenue now...... at that time initially to Bianjing (Kaifeng), was unfamiliar with the people and place, Little Brother also made many jokes ignorant, however, the Capital City meteorology, was really different from Jiangning, at this time actually was difficult to talk clearly, Brother Ning another day had the free time, must find time a Bianjing (Kaifeng) roaming, when the time comes, was a host by Little Brother well, performed to perform the duties of a host......” “……因为当年升迁,在下也随着家父去了汴京……家父如今在户部任主事之职……当时初至汴京,人生地不熟,小弟也是懵懵懂懂地闹了不少笑话,不过话说回来,京城气象,果然也与江宁不同,此时倒也难说得清楚,宁兄他日有暇,务必要抽空去汴京一游,到时候,也好由小弟做个东道,尽尽地主之谊……” „Actually went to Bianjing (Kaifeng), the most pleasantly surprised matter, unexpectedly and...... reunion of Brother Wang. Perhaps actually Brother Ning does not know, the king...... the Brother Wang childhood then grew up in Bianjing (Kaifeng), he was the true host, Little Brother passed at that time, resulted in Brother Wang many attendances, Hehe...... Oh, looked at the Brother Ning appearance, resembled not many to the old times at this's matter, the memory......” “其实去了汴京,最为惊喜的一件事,倒是与……王兄的重逢。其实宁兄或许不知道,王……王兄儿时便是在汴京长大,他才是真正的东道主,小弟当时过去,也得了王兄不少的照顾,呵呵……哦,看宁兄的样子,似对往年在此的事情,记忆不多……” chattering continuously, a conversation, speech but is actually that has displayed warm Yu Hezhong. In the words many also expressed proudly oneself father's officials status, Chancellor Ministry of Revenue is from six official titles, said that is not big, but regarding ordinary civilian, already admires the high official. Resembles Ning Yi this grade of bookworm pedantic scholar, feared that is studies is also hard to attain for a lifetime, because of father in the Ministry of Revenue permanent rank, so long as a long sleeves help one dance beautifully point, has to operate some relations, this Yu Hezhong can make a post in the future, is not very difficult matter. 叽叽喳喳,一番交谈,说话的倒一直是那表现得热情的于和中。话语之中多少也自豪地表示了自己父亲的官员身份,那户部主事乃是从六品的官衔,说起来不大,但对于普通小民来说,也已经是高山仰止的大官了。似宁毅这等书呆腐儒,怕是读书一辈子也难以企及,而因为父亲在户部任官,只要长袖善舞一点,有经营些关系,这于和中将来能弄个职衔,也不是很难的事情。 Everyone talked, Yu Hezhong actually detected, Ning Yi seemed like already without too many to remember regarding the past matter, perhaps otherwise regarding this surnamed Wang miss, many can some impressions. He said several, spoke thoughtlessly to ask nearby such and such recent whereabouts, Ning Yi naturally had no clue, his unexpectedly said with a smile: „Does Chen Sifeng still remember? Last year passed the imperial examination, divides in Ministry of Revenue now holds an office, Brother Ning went to Bianjing (Kaifeng) when the time comes, we can also look for him, as soon as gathered.” Before wants to come that Chen Sifeng is also , person of Ning Yi understanding. 大家交谈一阵,于和中倒也察觉出来,宁毅对于以往的事情似乎已经没有太多的记忆,否则对于这王姓姑娘,恐怕多少还是会有些印象的。他对此说了几句,又随口问起附近某某最近的下落,宁毅自然没什么头绪,他倒是笑道:“陈思丰还记得吗？去年高中了,如今也是分在户部任职,宁兄到时候去汴京,咱们也可以找他一聚。”想来那陈思丰也是以前宁毅认识的人。 Among three people happily chatted quietly, Yu Hezhong generally thinks that the Ning Yi imperial civil service examination, life did not go down in the world, in the front of that surnamed Wang female, in the words showed some superiority feeling occasionally, actually this actually was the way things should be. The after all person all has the heart of showing off, if meets completely gives others to do something for face, only if in ten thousand does not have a gentleman character, otherwise generally is the person of similar Puyang Yi that belief merchant family/home study. Naturally, honestly speaking comes, in front of Puyang Yi this person, so long as you to the own localization preparation, that are very easy to be together, Ning Yi is also likes, but Yu Hezhong obviously is also only an average person, occasionally shows off several by no means to be extraordinary, Ning Yi actually looks interesting. 三人之间言笑晏晏,于和中大抵认为宁毅科举不第、生活落魄,又是在那王姓女子的面前,话语之中偶尔表现一些优越感,其实这倒也是人之常情。毕竟人皆有炫耀之心,若是一见面就尽给别人做面子的,除非是万中无一的君子人物,否则大抵就是类似濮阳逸那种信奉商人家学的人。当然,老实说来,濮阳逸这种人面前,只要你对自己的定位准备,那就很容易相处,宁毅也是喜欢的,但于和中显然也只是个普通人,偶尔炫耀几句并不出奇,宁毅倒也只是看着有趣。 However, compared with making one pays attention, anti- unexpectedly that continuously words not many surnamed Wang females. In entire process she basically is the smile in side, regarding surroundings alley, something that Yu Hezhong mentioned occasionally, some feelings of longing. Yu Hezhong mentioned the passing matter, she will echo 1-2 occasionally, other time are often then listening peacefully, such dealt fair, by no means was extraordinary. But made Ning Yi feel what attention was, Yu Hezhong often showed off, if only closed/pass oneself, she is smiling the nod, improved on perfection, but if is supplementing prominently or ridicules Ning Yi in secret, her vision has then stayed in another place, displayed the absent-minded appearance slightly, will never make any suggestion of echoing. 不过,比较令人注意的,反倒是那个一直话语都不多的王姓女子。整个过程里她基本一直都是微笑在旁,对于周围这个小胡同,于和中偶尔说起的一些事情,也有些怀念的感觉。于和中说起过往的事情的时,她偶尔会附和1-2,其余时间往往便安静地听着,这样的应对中规中矩,并不出奇。但令宁毅感到注意的是,于和中每每炫耀起来,若只关自己,她便微笑着点头,锦上添花,但若附带着突出或是暗中奚落一下宁毅,她的目光便一直停留在他处,略略表现出心不在焉的样子,从不会做出任何附和的暗示。 This point is very interesting. 这一点很有意思。 Above the common banquet or the meeting would a main family, or always has attached great importance to existence. Somebody shows off one to display oneself, host family echoes, the opposite party has the face very much. But if the attitudes of two guests oppose, how to maintain the impartial attitude, the performance fair and just or smooths over differences, does not make somebody dislike, this is a very deep knowledge. 一般的宴席或聚会之上总会有个主家,或者总有受人重视的存在。某个人炫耀一番表现一下自己,主人家附和一番,对方很有面子。但若是两个客人的态度对立起来,如何保持持平的态度,表现公允或是和稀泥,不让某个人讨厌,这都是一门很深的学问。 This female by no means cares about boasting of old friend, but also the convention appears and has the glory the attitude to come for the opposite party to praise. When Yu Hezhong must disparage Ning Yi before her in the suggestion technique, she will actually maintain the independence by this subtle technique, by no means participation in. Naturally, because gets to know each other well with Yu Hezhong eventually, her actually interference opposite party carelessly, the likes and dislikes and friend or stranger will not act bashful very much has the discretion. 这女子并不在意旧友的吹擂,还会展现出与有荣焉的态度来为对方夸赞一番。但如果于和中要在她面前以暗示手法来贬低一下宁毅时,她却会以这种微妙的手法来保持独立,并不参与其中。当然,由于终究与于和中更相熟一些,她倒也不会胡乱的干涉对方,好恶、亲疏拿捏得很有分寸。 If only 1-2 performance this subtle acting bashful, the naturally average people can have the training, if each time can be like this proper, that seemed very thought-provoking. 若只是1-2的表现出这种微妙的拿捏,那是普通人都能有修养,若是每一次都能这样到位,那就显得很耐人寻味了。 This woman, should have very good education, should have...... one enough to make these education be exercised, the circle that displays. The opportunity that honestly speaking, this this time of the month(year) woman appears in public are not eventually many, similar own wife, Su Tan'er such, the education is also quite good, in some circle can long sleeves help one dance beautifully, be accurate to acting bashful of will of the people, but compares with the present female, Su Tan'er as if also appeared somewhat sharp, in certain aspects was insufficiently smooth. 这个女人,应该有着很好的教养,应该也有着……一个足够让这些教养得到锻炼,发挥出来的圈子。老实说,这年月女人抛头露面的机会终究不多,类似自己的妻子,苏檀儿这样的,教养也是相当不错,在某个圈子里可以长袖善舞,对人心的拿捏还算准确,但与眼前的这个女子比起来,苏檀儿似乎也显得有些尖锐了,在某些方面还是不够圆滑。 In female who oneself knows, before Jin'er and Yunzhu, in brothel, there is an exercise in this aspect, has the method that processes others to relate, but Jin'er is relatively lively, often pushes others in the heart obstruction with the own vigor vanishes into thin air, Yunzhu is refined, but inside noble and pure arrogant, will be together for a long time to feel inside tenacity and edges and corners unavoidably. This female simple some smile, unexpectedly made Ning Yi feel with Puyang Yi similar makings. 自己认识的女子中,锦儿与云竹以前在青楼,也有过这方面的锻炼,都有处理他人关系的方法,但锦儿相对活泼,往往以自己的活力将别人心中的芥蒂推得烟消云散,云竹温雅,但内里高洁孤傲,相处久了难免会感受到内里的坚韧与棱角。这个女子简单的一些笑容,倒是令宁毅感受到了与濮阳逸类似的气质。 Similar, but was not necessarily able saying that she had that high pole. Must in meeting in conversation several words understands a person, naturally was also the not possible matter, Ning Yi „old friend” talked with two good one, when must leave to their turned around, in the rear worn-out front gate went out of together the form slightly obviously: „, Young Master, you here.” 只是类似,但未必就能说她有那么高杆。要在见面交谈的几句话中就了解一个人,当然也是不可能的事情,宁毅与两名“旧友”交谈了好一阵,待到他们转身要离开,后方稍显破旧的院门里才走出一道身影来:“啊,姑爷,你在这里啊。” This is already Little Chan that cleans the room, is wiping the beads of sweat on frontal eminence comes out. Her today's from head to toe spathe small lined jacket, it seems like has the family treasure makings, when saw that the entrance to two people who Young Master spoke, „Uh”, stood the Ning Yi body side rear position. Little Chan this is also much longer, two people looked, was faint stares staring, soon after that Yu Hezhong said with a smile: „Oh, is this sister-in-law?” 这是已然将房间打扫完毕的小婵,一面擦着额角上的汗珠一面出来。她今天一身花衣小袄,看来颇有小家碧玉的气质,待见到门口跟姑爷说话的两人,才“呃”的一下,站到宁毅身体侧后方的位置。小婵本也长得美丽,两人看了,都是微微愣了愣,随后那于和中笑道:“哦,这是弟妹？” surnamed Wang female or menswear appearance, therefore first salutes: „Is this sister-in-law?” 王姓的女子还是男装打扮,于是先行了个礼:“这是嫂子吗？” The sister-in-law and sister-in-law's name made Little Chan very much have the vanity probably, the eye transferred the revolutions, faint surprised middle somewhat was also happy, soon after looked at Ning Yi, depended toward his nearby: „Uh , I am not Young Master maidservant, I called Chan'er, two...... was Young Master?” 弟妹与嫂子的称呼大概令得小婵很有虚荣心,眼睛转了转,微微惊讶当中也有些高兴,随后看了看宁毅,往他身边靠了靠:“呃,不是啦,我是姑爷的丫鬟,我叫婵儿,两位……公子是？” „We are the Young Master Ning old knowledge, I lived in that side before......” know am maidservant, did not need of serious usual name, after Little Chan saw the ritual, were not then many speaks, several people also chatted several, Wang , Yu turned around departed eventually. Ning Yi and Little Chan look at their backs here, Little Chan said: „Does Young Master recall the beforehand matter? Oh, right...... that Young Master Wang is a female.” “我们是宁公子的旧识,我以前住在那边……”知道是丫鬟,也就没有郑重通名的必要了,小婵见了礼之后便不多说话,几人又聊得几句,王、于二人终究还是转身离去了。宁毅与小婵在这边看着他们的背影,小婵道:“姑爷记起以前的事情啦？哦,对了……那个王公子是个女的。” „Fool also looked.” Ning Yi is smiling the racket her head, „unexpectedly did not know, but before them, lives here, recalled me, therefore came to greet, they were remember this courtyard probably......” “傻瓜也看出来了。”宁毅笑着拍拍她的头,“倒是不认识,只是他们以前住在这里,记起我了,所以过来打招呼,他们大概是记得这个院子……” This courtyard at this time seems like really poor, the worn-out lintel, the end of the year passes for two months, has not actually hung up any happy picture spring festival couplet, is incompatible with the house courtyard in surroundings, Ning Yi has a look at oneself, body dust stain, is a broken book, cannot help but shakes the head to smile. Little Chan looked toward the surroundings, actually thinks something, said: „Little Chan will call people to come the courtyard to renovate tomorrow.” she pondered, said with a smile: „Really wants to know before Young Master, here is what appearance......” 这院子此时看起来实在寒酸,破旧的门楣,年关过去才两个月,却没有挂上任何的喜画春联,与周围的房屋院落格格不入,宁毅看看自己,身上灰尘污迹,又是一本破书,不由得摇头笑笑。小婵往周围看了看,倒也想到了一些事情,道:“小婵明天叫人来把院子翻新一下。”她想了想,又笑道:“真想知道姑爷以前在这里是个什么样子……” „Heard that is silly bookworm......” Ning Yi smiles, has a look at Little Chan, „, let alone you do not know, is clearer than me, Tan'er is not because this chooses my...... the present goods non- gauge block, regret...... tch, pitiful Xi Junyu......” “听说是个傻书呆……”宁毅笑笑,又看看小婵,“别说你不知道,比我还清楚,檀儿不就是因为这样才选我的么……现在货不对板,后悔了吧……啧,可怜的席君煜……” „Hee, naturally Young Lady insightful......, moreover Chan'er does not dare to speak at that time, at that time Young Lady may enforce......” “嘻,那是小姐有眼光……而且婵儿当时可不敢说话,那时小姐可严肃了……” Before little maidservant starts chattering continuously to mention gets married the amusing thing, two people turned around walks toward the courtyard. 小丫鬟开始叽叽喳喳地说起成亲前的趣事,两人转身往院子里走去。 Another side, Wang , Yu courtyards in the past. Actually past left Jiangning, two people also young, although now some memories, but remembers is also only here some child partners. Yu Hezhong is relatively familiar, the midway left one, according to the impression knocked several leafed doors to ask, when ran, the surnamed Wang female the institute toward inside is looking outside she had lived, but that courtyard the changing players family/home has also lived. Yu Hezhong said with a smile: „My actually cannot remember that too the beforehand person, just now asks, unexpectedly one is the understanding, chatted one slightly, actually asks that Little Ning matter, how did you guess?” 另一边,王、于两人一个个的院子过去。其实昔日离开江宁,两人都还年幼,如今虽然有些记忆,但记得的也只是这边的一些孩童伙伴。于和中相对熟悉一点,中途又离开了一阵,按照印象敲了几扇门问了问,跑回来时,王姓女子正在她曾经住过的院外往里面看,只是那院子也早已换了人家居住了。于和中笑道:“我倒也记不得太多以前的人了,方才问问,竟有一个是认识的,稍稍聊了一阵,倒也问了问那小宁的事情,你猜怎么着？” He keeps guessing, the surnamed Wang female does not have the direct examination, but lowers the head to think: „His maidservant is very attractive, clothes are also good, for these years feared that didn't live in that courtyard?” 他卖个关子,王姓女子却没有直接询问,只是低头想想:“他那个丫鬟很漂亮呀,身上的衣服也挺好的,这几年怕是不住那个院子了吧？” „Um, we knew that person lives not much here, actually is not very clear, but referred to that courtyard recording, said that Lord of that house married into the wife's household, the bride's side was household of a merchant who sold the arrange/cloth, heard is very rich, initially very made lively......” “嗯,我方才认识那人在这边住得不多,倒也不是很清楚,只是指了那个院子才记起来,说那房子的主人是入赘了,女方是一户卖布的商户,听说很有钱,当初闹得挺热闹的……” The surnamed Wang female looks toward that side: „That also good Ah…...” 王姓女子朝那边望了望:“那也挺不错的啊……” „cough, we somewhat said actually are unconventional, should not ask that his imperial civil service examination and so on situation of matter, he was not only live-in son-in-law, wants to come unable to take an exam...... was really hard to imagine him to marry into the wife's household unexpectedly, Oh......” Yu Hezhong sighed. “咳,我方才说得倒也是有些忘形了,不该问他科举之类事情的情况的,他既是赘婿,想来也是无法应试了……只是实在难以想象他竟会去入赘,唉……”于和中叹了口气。 „During one's lifetime, always also somewhat involuntary situation......” “人生在世,总也有些身不由己的情况的……” „Uh, I will come back several days later again, asks the situations of elder male cousin beforehand these people. Oh, Shishi, you looked that must we ask him to come out gathering several days later again, only sees as good friend, perhaps to some of his also advantage?” “呃,过几天我再回来,问问堂兄以前那些人的情况。哦,师师,你看要不要过几天我们再找他出来聚一聚,只以好友身份见见,说不定对他也有些好处？” In the Yu Hezhong mouth was saying this saying, the vision has looked at that to be called the Shishi female, actually sees opposite party faint smiled, shakes the head: „If you and Chen Sifeng ask him to come out to gather, considers the advantage, my grade of status, he marries into the wife's household, did not need to give the person to put to trouble. Let alone I also on the way, come back to have a look while the whim lasts, has not had the idea that anything returns with honors, initially...... had not said with him many words, actually is in itself also not ripe......” 于和中口中说着这话,目光则一直望着那名叫师师的女子,却见对方微微笑了笑,摇了摇头:“若是你和陈思丰找他出来聚聚,当是有好处的,我这等身份,他又是入赘,还是不用给人添麻烦了吧。何况我也只是顺道,兴之所至回来看看,没打什么衣锦荣归的主意,当初……与他也没说过多少话,其实本身也是不熟的……” This saying saying, Yu Hezhong smiled: „Also yes, that...... on let's do it like this then......” 这话一说,于和中笑了起来:“也是,那……就这样吧……” Two people is saying, turned around, after the moment, the form disappears in tunnel that side intersection. 两人一面说着,一面转身,片刻后,身影消失在巷道那边的街口。 This accidental meeting with has not stayed in Ning Yi in the heart too for a long time, his actually has not thought that soon, three people had another meeting opportunity. This afternoon goes home, he then saw in Su Family waiting for a long time Qin Siyuan eldest son Qin Shaohe, he by status usual name visiting of average person, but not by person in office, otherwise does not know that Su Family will become what appearance lively. 这场偶然的邂逅并未在宁毅心中停留太长时间,他倒也未曾想过,就在不久之后,三人就有了另一次碰面的机会。这天下午回到家,他便见到了在苏家等待已久的秦嗣源的长子秦绍和,他只是以普通人的身份通名拜访,而并非是以官身,否则不知道苏家会热闹成什么样子。 these days returns to Jiangning, this officer has occupied the Provincial Governor middle-aged man also to have own many things to process, many people must visit, couple days ago missed with Ning Yi one time. Until finds the time today finally, has waited till Ning Yi to come back in Su Family, just now met with Ning Yi, said thanks to him. 这几天回到江宁,这位已然官居知州的中年男子也有着自己的许多事情要处理,许多人要拜访,前几天与宁毅错过了一次。直到今天才终于又抽出了时间,一直在苏家等到了宁毅回来,方才与宁毅见了面,向他道出感谢。
