Chapter 19 Just Grow Cucumbers and Be Brothers(1/3)
"Why accept Sangsang as his disciple?"
“This is a good question.”
"Do you know why you picked up Sangsang?"
Ye Qianqiu did not directly answer Ning Que’s question, but asked Ning Que one question.
Ning Que pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want to explain?"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Actually, what I mean is very simple."
"There are no so many things in the world?"
"Many things are just a whim."
Ning Que said: "You are on a whim, where is Wei Guangming?"
"He is the great priest of light, and I don't believe he will also be on a whim."
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "You want to ask me, what's extraordinary about Sangsang."
Ning nodded in a shortcoming way.
Ye Qianqiu glanced out the window, Sangsang's young body was nestled under the apricot tree, lonely and stubborn.
"Wei Guangming said that Sangsang is very transparent, even more transparent than him."
"Sangsang is indeed extraordinary. Although I know why she is extraordinary, I can't tell you now."
"One day in the future, you will naturally know why she is extraordinary."
Ning Que stopped asking questions after hearing this.
Ye Qianqiu changed a topic.
"I heard that you performed well in this trip to the wasteland. Now you can officially join the academy."
This is the third time Ning Que has heard of the word "worldly" in two days.
He looked at Ye Qianqiu with a little uneasy. He didn't understand what it means to enter the world, but he just felt that it seemed like a very troublesome thing.
"Master Ye, what is entering the world?"
Ning Que asked this.
Ye Qianqiu said: "Literally speaking, entering the world means returning to the world."
Ning Que asked inexplicably: "Why do people who practice practice have gone through a lot of hardships before they are born, so why do they have to enter the world again?"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Because entering the world is also a kind of practice."
"And I like to enter the world more to practice."
"Of course, there is another reason why the academy disciples enter the world to practice."
Ning Que said in surprise: "What's the reason?"
Ye Qianqiu said: "It is said that academies are the only holy land that connects the world and the unknown place. In fact, the most important reason is that academies can survive only if they appear in the world."
"The things that practitioners can consume without production are unimaginable to ordinary people."
"The daily expenses of the academy are all delivered by the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"So, the disciples of the academy should do something for these ordinary people."
Ning Que said: "Is this why you opened such a small academy here and taught your children for free?"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "This is just one of the reasons."
"The most important thing is that I think it is a very pleasant thing to be quiet in such a city."
"If you pick yourself out of this world, you will find that everything in this world is so small."
"But because of their insignificance, many times, they can bloom a lot of incredible power."
"Cultivating is not only about practicing big, but also about small."
Ning Que said: "Why am I becoming more confused the more I listened to it?"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back."
Ning Que nodded, got up and went out and took Sangsang away.
Late at night, the spring breeze in the courtyard had quietly arrived.
...
...
When Ning Que returns to Chang'an, something will naturally happen.
But these things have little to do with Ye Qianqiu.
Sangsang was a little absent-minded when he was practicing calligraphy recently.
Ye Qianqiu knew something was wrong, but he was too lazy to enlighten this girl.
There are some things that you can only cherish after experiencing them personally.
What's more, feelings without hardships and storms cannot withstand the cares of time.
On that day, Sangsang and Ye Qianqiu took a day off and left Lao Bizhai in the evening.
...
In Chang'an City, the little maid Sang Sang only has two friends who can speak, one is Li Yu, the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Xiao Cao, a little maid in Hongxiuzhao.
The status of the Tang Dynasty princess and brothel maids is very different, but Sangsang and the two have no difference in their attitudes when they get along. They are so ordinary, and they are very silent most of the time, playing the role of the audience.
Xiaocao patted the railing twice, looked at Sangsang beside him and asked curiously: "I have heard of the book fanatic. It seems that it is the three fanatic in the world. I have heard of it. It should be very famous. Is she very beautiful?"
Sangsang nodded.
Xiaocao said angrily: "Men are indeed not good people."
Sangsang looked at her in confusion.
Xiaocao explained in a stressful tone: "I mean the young master of your family."
Sangsang became increasingly puzzled.
Xiaocao looked at her and said anxiously: "Now everyone in Chang'an City knows that Ning Que brought back a beautiful woman after traveling far away. Are you not worried at all?"
Sangsang looked at her and asked seriously: "What should I worry about?"
Xiaocao held her hand and said worriedly: "As you always say, you often sleep with your young master, then you will definitely not be able to marry someone else. In the future, he will definitely be his concubine. As a result, he took a woman home without even talking to you. I think he has no affection for you. If that woman marry your young master and becomes your housewife in the future, what should you do?"
Sangsang looked down at his hands holding the railing tightly. After a long silence, he whispered: "Young Master always wants to marry a wife when he is old. When I first came to your house, I have been discussing who is suitable for being a young lady after returning to the shop. So even if he wants to marry a book-boy girl, I won't feel anything."
When Xiaocao heard this, he held his forehead with a helpless look on his face.
...
General's Mansion.
General Xu Shizheng frowned.
Looking at a memorial from Tuyang City.
In the memorial, Xiahou, the general of the army who had made great achievements, requested to return to his hometown, and the words were full of fatigue and disheartening.
Before Xu Shi learned that Xiahou had decided to return to his hometown, Mr. Thirteen of the Academy went to Tuyang City and had a long conversation with Xiahou in the winter garden.
This has reached the ears of some generals in the military headquarters.
These generals were angry.
Xu Shi was also angry.
The reason why he was angry was still the reason.
Wang Jingluo stood aside and listened to Xu Shi's teachings.
Xu Shi said coldly: "Practitioners should practice, not interfere with the government affairs."
"Just like those two unknowable places, deep in the mountains or wastelands, the world returns to the world, and the world returns to the world, why do you have to connect with each other? Why do you have to join the world?"
"How was the case investigated?"
"The censor Zhang Yiqi does have an iron nail in his mind. The Chang'an Government Office has a pretty good protection for evidence, but he did not continue to investigate at that time."
"When General Xuanwei Deputy General Chen Zixian died in the iron shop, Lao Bizhai did not open the door that day."
"Two days after the death of Yan Suqing, a former military clerk, happened to be the college's period exam. According to the students' memories, Ning Que originally made an appointment with Xie Chengyun, a talented man from the Southern Jin Dynasty, to bet on the test results, but he took two consecutive days off at that time. This incident caused a lot of controversy in the academy and could not be faked."
"There is another suspicious point, that is, if Ning Que is really the murderer, then when killing Yan Suqing, there should not be no trace at all."
Xu Shidao: "So?"
Wang Jingluo said: "I guess he has a helper."
Xu Shi nodded slightly and said, "Check, be sure to find out this person!"
The Tang military was extremely powerful. Once a comprehensive investigation of something was started, it instantly showed extremely powerful movement and extremely high efficiency.
