After October, the weather in Hangzhou got cold very quickly, which was a bit different from what Jiang Ning had imagined. Maybe it was because of global warming in that era. The weather in Hangzhou was almost the same as that in the north at that time.

The late autumn rain brought with it a chill. Jiang Ning walked across the small bridge and wiped off the water stains on his body. He was wearing Yue Ya Na's cloth shoes, which had thick soles and were extremely soft when walking. People in Hangzhou,

They all also put on clothes. Except for those who got up early and stayed late, there were very few people who got up early.

"Uncle, wait a minute Yueya..." Yueya trotted up to catch up, holding a book in his arms. He lifted it up enthusiastically and handed it to Jiang Ning.

"The ghost legends told here are far from what my uncle said. How about you write a book too? I asked the lady. There is no Mr. Cao who has written "The Story of the Stone". If you had written it, I would definitely say it

According to legend..."

"Really? But my uncle is a bit lazy. I won't do this kind of troublesome work if I can, haha..." Jiang Ning burst into laughter.

"Just now in the restaurant, that guy who claimed to be a genius didn't know anything and was talking nonsense. If my uncle wrote a poem to scold him, I would definitely copy it ten times or a hundred times, and everyone in the restaurant would have a copy..." Yue Ya said angrily.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Uncle, Yue Ya is speaking for you..."

"Are you angry now? Haha, you have to be careful in the future, otherwise you might be pissed off by me one day..."

"Uncle, you are kidding me again..."

It has been two months since "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" came out. During this period of time, everything was said. The matter was the topic of discussion in restaurants and brothels, and poetry gatherings and the like,

I also want to comment on this poem. Someone vividly described how the Young Master of the Yang family and the Donglin students made things difficult for Wang Ruoyan at the Flower Boat Poetry Recital that day, and how the maid reversed the two levels. Jiang Ning's poems

What kind of desperate comeback has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

All kinds of voices are heard all the time. Since Mr. Xia's comments in Donglin Academy came out, many talented people have visited him in the past two months, wanting to compete with Jiang Ning. In the library, there are also

There are many intentions to make things difficult. Jiang Ning is naturally pure and unconcerned, and has no intention of fighting with these students. He hides when he can, because he cannot avoid it, and he is also looking for things to distract him. In this way,

The rumors are even worse.

After going to the Xia Mansion, I was often dragged away by Mr.

After eating, we drank and talked happily. Although it was not too much, we were still in a tipsy state.

"Brother, you are so talented, why are you so indifferent to the competition between many talented people?" After a glass of wine, Bi Lao was a little surprised by Jiang Ning's attitude towards opportunities.

When students compete with each other, they usually compete, and then they achieve a good reputation and spread it. It has great benefits in terms of wealth and reputation. It is obviously a good thing to gain both fame and fortune. It spreads to the ears of those women and takes them into their hearts.

Not to mention the huggers.

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "In my eyes, fame and wealth are just a passing cloud. The current situation is quite good. We only live in this world for just a few decades, so it is better to use the limited time to do something truly meaningful."

"

"How do you say this?" Mr. Xia also strongly disagreed: "A real man should build his own meritorious service. Literary and martial arts are all choices. He should take the imperial examination and make suggestions in front of the palace to benefit the people of the world. This is the pursuit of scholars in the world. Zichuan, you are young.

You are so talented and knowledgeable, but you don't want to pursue an official career? Although your status is a bit embarrassing, you do have real talent and learning. Every time I talk about your words with Mr. Bi and think about it, it makes me feel better."

The three of them were in a state of intoxication, and when they talked, they called each other brothers and sisters, and there was no distinction between seniority and juniority.

What the two said is also the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty today. The idea of ​​​​valuing civility over military affairs has long been ingrained. Although there was the existence of the Turkic Royal Court and the Great Yuan Dynasty, and there was the humiliation of the Blackwater Alliance ten years ago, but since then,

The Great Xia Dynasty transferred the Weihu Army to the north and built a defense line from the Liaohe River to Zhen'an and Hebei. The Ningshan General Mansion was stationed in the rear, and the defense was greatly enhanced. The Tiger Army was dispatched to the southwest, from the west end of the Liaohe River to the deep southwest

The front line of the Qilian Mountains strengthens defense, and behind it is the fertile land of Tianfu and Chengdu Prefecture to provide food and grass.

"Haha, forget about that. If I were asked to be an official or something, I would take my wife and fly away to be pure and at ease." Jiang Ning joked.

This is already two consecutive times in a conversation where I have expressed my attitude.

Seeing this, the two elders couldn't say anything more. They occasionally talked about the situation of the party and the government, and Jiang Ning just acted as a listener.

Yue Ya still follows Jiang Ning every day. After delivering meals at noon, he comes back with Jiang Ning. Wang Ruoyan, on the other hand, has been a lot busy in the past two months. He often goes to bed after midnight and wakes up early in the morning.

Shopkeepers from all over the country will come to collect the accounts soon. When the year-end dividends are distributed, prepare them in advance so that you won't be in a hurry. Only Xing'er has been accompanying Wang Ruoyan to do some business matters.

Occasionally, Jiang Ning will inquire about some martial arts secrets. The Wang family also has its own nursing home. Jiang Ning has also seen their daily training.

I'm afraid I can only withstand it for a moment.

It would be best if you could have mental skills or martial arts. I have dreamed of martial arts. I have read Jin Yong's The Ancient Dragon and Liang Yusheng since I was a child. I also know a lot of various martial arts secrets, Buddhism and Taoism, and the struggle between good and evil.

But such things are difficult to find unless you seek advice from an expert, and he is a scholar. When he proposed this idea, he was strongly opposed by the three women in his family.

"Uncle... a scholar practicing martial arts? Don't you think it's... embarrassing..."

"My uncle doesn't think so, but the young lady will also think..."

In the end, under the absolute denial of the three people, Jiang Ning had no choice but to give up and pursue the idea of ​​practicing martial arts. However, after half a year of running, the system has been significantly improved.

From that day on, Liu Sisi closed the door, but still got up early and looked at the street through the second-floor window. Jiang Ning still insisted on running every day.

"Perhaps, if he didn't save me... or didn't know that I wanted to do business... he would pass by here every day..." Liu Sisi thought.

There were also a few times when she didn't open the door, but just opened the window on the second floor, but Jiang Ning seemed not to see her. She wanted to say hello, but by the time she made up her mind and said the words, Jiang Ning had already run over.

Jiang Ning didn't pay much attention to the fact that Liu Sisi had closed the door early in the morning. He just thought that something might have happened, or someone had defected to him, so he left. He did what he should do every day.

The purification of alcohol has been initially successful. Now the purified alcohol has been sealed in a glass bottle. The next step is the alcohol lamp. If he wants to make other things, the temperature of the kerosene lamp is obviously not enough, and it is extremely unstable. The alcohol lamp

This problem is solved very well.

Yue Ya also went to the yard twice with Jiang Ning. At first, she was curious about what Jiang Ning was doing. Finally, she broke a glass container and then left angrily. She didn't dare to disturb Jiang Ning anymore and just took care of the yard.

Flowers and plants came down two or three times, and the courtyard was no longer as desolate as before.

In the past two months, Jiang Ning discovered a student who was not very good-looking, but he came to the library every day. Except for closing the library, he was basically untouchable. Jiang Ning gave the key to this person, because every time Jiang Ning came to the library

Ge, these people are standing at the door.
