, and Zhou Shi came to take care of it. "
Ning Yuan picked up the vase, looked around, nodded approvingly, and didn't know if he was praising plum blossoms or white sandalwood.
"You send this vase of plum blossoms to Xianglian Courtyard, and take two innocent and sensible girls there along the way. My mother is not in good health, and my sister is young, so I have to leave it alone." Ning Yuan handed out the vase.
Blessed by Bai Tan, he took the vase and hurried away.Ning Yuan came to the courtyard, and there were two rows of servant girls standing in the middle of the courtyard, led by Zhou Shi, all of them lowered their brows and looked cautiously, occasionally looking at Ning Yuan with some respect in their eyes.
They were urgently transferred from other places by the housekeeper according to Luo's mother's order. I don't know anything else, I only know that the original servants in this Zhuxuan hall have been beaten out of the house by random sticks. The miserable howling sounds unusual They were frightened, so they were all very honest, afraid of touching the brow of the third young master in front of them.
Ning Yuan glanced over their faces, and according to the memory of his previous life, after confirming that there was no one from the Liu family, he nodded to Zhou Shi, and Zhou Shi immediately took them down to explain the affairs.
Only a tall maidservant in white clothes didn't leave with her, but walked forward and bowed to Ning Yuan, "Slave girl Ruxiang, please greet the third young master."
Ning Yuan had a smile on his face, "Sister Yunxiang, why should you be so polite, you are serving the old lady, but you are willing to come to my place to take care of me, I don't know how to thank you."
"The third young master killed the servant girl. The old lady loves the third young master very much. Being able to serve the third young master is also a blessing for the servant girl." This Yun Xiang is also very elegant in appearance, and her expression is even more dignified. In comparison, it's like heaven and earth.
Rue Xiang was brought here by Luo's mother in the afternoon, and she said that it was Shen's order to let Rue Xiang replace Xia Zhu as the maid in charge of Zhu Xuantang.Even though Ning Yuan would not allow her to serve her personally, she would not be negligent, so he took a jade bracelet he found from Xia Zhu and handed it out, "My place is shabby, so I can only invite Miss Yunxiang to help you." be magnanimous."
"Young Master, you are very polite, servant girl, thank you for your reward." Yun Xiang was not pretentious, she lowered her head to pick up the things, knowing that she would not be needed here for a while, so she retreated back to her room.
Standing in the yard, Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't sleep well last night, and in the morning I had a few tricks with Mrs. Liu in the Shou'an Hall. Today's weather was fine, and a few rays of sunlight came out of the clouds in the afternoon, making me feel lazy. He thumped his shoulders and saw Not far away, facing the light, there was a cushioned armchair, so she walked over and lay down softly on it, preparing to take a nap for a while.
At any rate, his first step to gain a foothold in the Ning Mansion has been completed, and this Zhuxuan Hall has become a place where he can almost sleep at ease without worrying about cold knives.
During this afternoon nap, Ning Yuan only felt that he slept very well, and his whole body was warm. It was not like winter at all. The cloak was snugly wrapped—no wonder naps in the open air were so warm.
"Young master is awake." A deep voice came from the side, "It's windy at night, I'm afraid it's going to change, young master, come in quickly."
Ning Yuan was startled by the sound, and opened his eyes a little, only to realize that Zhou Shi was standing beside him. His complexion was bronzed, and he was wearing some dark clothes, which made him very inconspicuous at night.
"Are you shielding me from the wind?" Ning Yuan sat up and saw that Zhou Shi was standing in a place where there was a wind, so he hurriedly grabbed his hand and shook it. Sure enough, his wide palm was cold.
"Why don't you wake me up? It won't be worth it if you freeze up." Ning Yuan was a little annoyed. He valued friendship and the people around him. If Zhou Shi got sick because of him, it would be worse than his own sickness. uncomfortable.
"It's okay, young master. I'm strong and I'm not bad from the cold." Zhou Shi retracted his hands in embarrassment, and grinned at the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling, but when his serious face smiled, it turned into a nondescript expression.
"I'll ask Bai Tan to make you a bowl of ginger soup later on. Don't be afraid of everything, just in case." Ning Yuan stood up, "But do you want to eat?"
"Bai Tan came over just now and said that dinner will be ready in half an hour in the small kitchen, and the young master just woke up by coincidence, by the way." Zhou Shi seemed to think of something, he took it out of his arms, and took out the yellow and crumpled book. The book came, "I took the new servants to take care of the backyard in the afternoon, and found this thing from the firewood pile. I don't know how to read, so I wanted to show it to you, young master."
Ning Yuan accepted it strangely.The book is obviously very old, and it has not been well preserved, so the appearance is very dilapidated. Fortunately, the original paper is excellent silk paper, and it uses the most precious purple gold ink, so the places where there are handwriting I can still see clearly.
Facing the lantern hanging on the eaves not far away, Ning Yuan looked at the words written in four large seal characters on the cover: "Nirvana Heart Sutra".
Ning Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned two pages back, and what he saw were lines of formulas and diagrams of meridians.
It should be right, this is a secret book of inner strength and mental methods.
As a garrison of Jiangzhou, Ning Ruhai commanded [-] garrison troops, so he naturally practiced martial arts, but the internal energy he practiced was the standard internal energy "Body Refining Jue" in the army. This "Nirvana Heart Sutra", even if it is similar to When he was by Sikong Xu's side, he was used to all kinds of Jianghu martial arts collected by him, but Ning Yuan had never heard of them.
Thinking that Zhuxuantang used to be the place where Ning Ruhai stored books, then this secret book should also be Ning Ruhai's collection, maybe it's not a good thing, so even if he missed it, he didn't find it.
"Young master, do you know what book this is?" Zhou Shi asked aloud seeing that Ning Yuan had been silent for a long time.
"A book about martial arts, a book of inner strength and mind." Ning Yuan shook the dust on the cover of the book lightly, put it in his bosom, and when he looked up again, he saw Zhou Shi's dark eyes hearing "practice martial arts" After the word two, it actually started to light up.
Ning Yuan couldn't help asking: "Are you interested in martial arts?"
Zhou Shi nodded vigorously, showing an enthusiasm that did not match his personality, "Master, can you teach me."
"Teach you?" Ning Yuan smiled, "I don't know martial arts, how can I teach you?"
"But." Zhou Shi hesitated for a while, but still said: "But I saw the young master boxing in the yard this morning."
Ning Yuan's eyes widened, "You got up so early?"
"I have to go to the back door of the mansion to pick firewood every day before dawn, so I saw it." Zhou Shi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Master, can you teach me."
"My skills are just superficial legs and feet, not serious martial arts." Ning Yuan thought for a while, "Although I can't teach you, I know some martial arts routines, and I can write them down for you. practice, but you have to learn how to recognize characters first, otherwise you won’t be able to read.”
Zhou Shi didn't expect that Ning Yuan would really agree, his face flushed with excitement, and his cheeks were tense, "I will definitely study hard!"
After dinner, Ning Yuan returned to his room and began to read the Nirvana Heart Sutra carefully by candlelight.
He naturally knew that he couldn't practice internal skills, but he still couldn't help but want to try. Just like Zhou Shi wanted to practice martial arts, Ning Yuan's desire to practice martial arts is actually even worse. In the past, he wanted to assist Sikong Xu , But now, he is purely to protect himself and his loved ones.
Perhaps it was the shock of the assassinations he witnessed in his previous life. No matter how powerful a person is, even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, when the assassin's cold knife is wiped on his neck, if he does not have the ability to protect himself, he will only be able to protect himself. Ashes to ashes to ashes to ashes, nothing more.
Especially after what happened in the morning, I'm afraid Liu's mother and son will hate him even more.Ning Xiang has been practicing martial arts with Ning Ruhai since he was a child. If he intends to find fault with him, he may be able to maim himself, and Ning Ruhai will not severely punish his second son who is currently his most important.
Ning Yuan wants to prevent problems before they happen, and it is always good to have a little self-defense, which is why he agreed to teach Zhou Shi martial arts.
Opening the cover of the silk paper, the first sentence on the title page shocked Ning Yuan on the spot.
"If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace!"
010 Huyan Yuanchen
Ning Yuan rubbed his eyes. He confirmed that he read the words in black and white. A complicated light flashed in his eyes, and he turned to the next page.
The second page should be the preface left by the person who wrote the secret book. After reading the whole book, Ning Yuan suddenly realized why there were such words on the title page.
This secret book originated from the hands of a eunuch in the previous dynasty.Because the eunuch had to purify his body since he was young, his yang meridian was underdeveloped, but his yin meridian was much stronger than that of ordinary men because of the incomplete yang meridian. With such a physique, no matter what kind of internal skills he could practice, he would have the same problems as Ning Yuan , The internal energy cultivated in one channel is lost from the other channel, but compared with Ning Yuan, the loss is less obvious, and a certain amount of internal energy can still be accumulated.
The eunuch who wrote this secret manual can be described as a world-class genius. He read all the martial arts in the world, and unexpectedly thought of a method of co-cultivation of yin and yang that is very suitable for eunuchs to practice. The internal force cultivated flows into the Yin meridian, and the internal force cultivated in the Yin meridian flows into the Yang meridian, which is endless, forming a cycle of heaven and earth. Not only will the internal force not be lost at all, but the speed of practice can also increase by leaps and bounds, which is better than ordinary single-cultivation one-channel cheats Several times that, and that eunuch also became the number one master in the Dauchi by relying on this exercise.
It’s just that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, because the yin and yang meridians in the eunuch’s body are incomplete, and they cannot withstand the vigorous internal force. Although this kind of exercise is against the sky, the life span of the eunuch who practices it will be greatly reduced as the meridians wither, and generally cannot survive. At the age of 30, at the end of the preface, the author specially left a motto: one day of practicing, one day of life is lost, remember!
Seeing this, Ning Yuan closed his eyes, only feeling dry mouth, and the words of the alchemist who diagnosed his pulse many years ago began to echo in his mind: "Your physique is really peculiar, you have both Yang and Yin channels in your body, and they are not mutually exclusive. Influenced, he is much stronger than ordinary people, if one day he can find the kung fu of dual meridians, he can practice internal kung fu, but I have never heard of anyone creating such an extraordinary kung fu."
Isn't the meaning of the "two-pulse joint cultivation" that the alchemist said at that time exactly the same as this "Nirvana Heart Sutra"?
So does this mean that one's own physique can practice this miraculous skill that the created people believe "one day of practice will shorten one's life" without having to worry about shrinking meridians?
For a moment Ning Yuan's heart was beating fast, he hesitated for a while, bit his lip, climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged, with his heart turned upside down, and began to try to practice according to the first-level formulas mentioned in the cheat book.
Concentrate on calmness, hold Yuan and keep one, soon, a stream of air with a shallow temperature is derived from the dantian, travels along the Yang meridian for a small circle in the body, and soon returns to the lower abdomen.
This is here. In the past, when I practiced internal strength, all the internal strength that I practiced would be completely lost due to the influence of another channel after a small cycle. After I felt that internal strength return to the lower abdomen, I felt a sense of relief again. As the signs of slowly dissipating, Ning Yuan kept on doing nothing, trying hard to control the internal force, and suddenly broke away from the Yang Meridian, and slammed into the Yin Meridian.
The moment the heat broke into the yin veins, Ning Yuan shivered, and at the same time, there were dense pains in the meridians, but it was gratifying that the internal force circled along the yin veins in a regular manner. , and returned to the Yang Meridian again, just like this, the small circus became the big circus, and it actually stopped dissipating, and there were signs of gradually consolidating and growing.
"It can be done!" He opened his eyes in surprise, and picked up the Nirvana Heart Sutra as if he had found a treasure. There really are people with both yin and yang!
With internal strength, he can practice those martial arts that require internal force, which is equivalent to having the ability to protect himself. Even if someone wants to use cold knives on him, he will not be afraid at all.
It is far from enough to just use the internal force like a trickle in the current meridians.Ning Yuan thought to himself, he must cultivate to the Xiaocheng realm as soon as possible, so that he will be more handy when dealing with some things in the future.
For several days, Ning Yuan stayed in the bedroom and practiced kung fu without going out of the door, except for the morning and evening visits to Mrs. Shen, and to visit Mrs. Tang. Zhou Shi, who was faithfully guarding the door, had a good meal of repairs, and some of the overdone ones were rewarded directly by Yunxiang. There was a maid assigned by the old lady to take charge of the yard, and the servants also knew that the third young master had the support of the old lady behind him. Although he was still curious in his heart, he no longer dared to make any excessive movements to find a hit for himself.
Eight days later, in the early morning, the housekeeper personally sent a message saying that Wu Anbo returned from his march in the afternoon, and the old lady ordered the young masters in the mansion to greet him at the gate of the city.
This time Ning Ruhai took [-] Jiangzhou garrison troops out to train for more than [-] days. It was a very ordinary winter drill, but he accidentally destroyed the bandits in the two villages in the mountains outside the city. , Therefore, in terms of posture, there is also the meaning of returning from victory. Even the governor Cao Guichun went out of the mansion in person to greet him at the city gate, and the East Street directly opposite the city gate has long been patrolled by rows of garrison troops.
Ning Yuan led the Bai sisters into the carriage prepared by the housekeeper at the gate of the mansion. Zhou Shi drove the carriage himself and trotted all the way towards the city gate. Because the sign of Ning Mansion was hung on the carriage, although there were many soldiers on patrol, there were not many of them. stop for interrogation.
Along the way, Baimei opened the curtains curiously, looked at the street scenery, only Baitan showed a worried expression, and said to Ning Yuan who closed his eyes after getting in the car, "Master, we are already out late, and now we are going faster." Some, I heard that the second young master rode the bay red horse that the master rewarded, the famous horse runs fast, if we are too late than the second young master, others will discuss it."
"Do you think they won't discuss it if we arrive early?" Ning Yuan opened his eyes with a surprisingly calm expression, "There's no rush."
The carriage ran for a stick of incense, and stopped a hundred and eighty feet away from the city gate, but it could not go any further, and had to walk the rest of the way.
Two rows of garrison troops stood neatly beside the East Street, armed with iron armor and silver guns, squeezing all the onlookers behind. Cao Guichun, the governor of Jiangzhou, was in neat official uniform, and personally led a few soldiers to wait at the gate of the city, with a very serious expression on his face. For solemnity.
Not far from the city gate is the very famous restaurant "Juxian Building" in Jiangzhou. At this time, on the second floor of Juxian Building, in a private room facing the street, there is a young gentleman in luxurious clothes, holding a wine glass, looking at the The grand ostentation downstairs joked: "I have heard that Cao Guichun is a very famous 'flattering governor'. As expected, it is better to see it than to hear it. When welcoming a garrison commander back to the city, he can put on a posture of welcoming the general's triumphant return. If If the governor of Jianghuai came to visit him, wouldn't the whole Jiangzhou be under martial law."
The young master has a handsome appearance, a fair face, and an elegant posture. He looks like a person who is used to being pampered. After drinking a glass of wine, he licked his lips that were wet from the wine, and looked at the young man sitting opposite him, "You Say it?"
"Wu Anbo used to be General Fenwu. Even though Cao Guichun had a higher official position than him, he was not knighted. If you look at the etiquette of the aristocrats of your Great Zhou, his ostentation is not out of the ordinary." The young man said, holding up the white cloth in front of him. Porcelain bowl, raised his head and drank the full bowl of wine, "And don't forget that you came all the way from Huajing to Jiangzhou to hook up with Wu Anbo's daughter, now you can chew your future father-in-law's wine Tongue root, I'm not afraid that Wu Anbo will deny you as a son-in-law if he finds out."
"Hurry up and put your crow's mouth away, or if this son is unlucky, I will be the first to question you." Your son's complexion changed, and his eyes showed melancholy, "Oh, after so many years, I don't know Momo Miss Er, do you remember me?"
"Maybe your Miss Mo'er is already married." The young man said without mercy, pouring cold water on the noble young master, "But this way, I heard that the Wu'anbo mansion is the most popular now. It's not your fairy sister Ning Mo'er, but someone named Ning Ping'er, who said that she is young and beautiful, with a pure heart, and people who came to propose marriage have already lined up two streets, so maybe she is also worthy of you."
"Bah, no one in this world can compare to Miss Mo'er in beauty, Ning Ping'er? Just by the name, she is a girl who looks like a bland girl. She is too vulgar." Your son waved his hand, "Miss Mo'er is like that. Beauty, how can an ordinary person deserve to be married? Even if she marries, she can marry and leave. Since I am here this time, I will always fight hard. Is it true that I will marry that Princess Wanyi according to the arrangement of the old man at home? No."
"Forget it, there is an old saying in the Great Zhou, if you want to be a gentleman, you can be a gentleman. If it weren't for the fact that the snow scene in Jiangzhou is one of the top ten scenic spots in the Great Zhou, I wouldn't have accompanied you on this trip." The young man said. With a roll in his throat, he drank another bowl of wine.
The young master showed a painful expression on his face, "Reckless waste, really wasteful, this is the best Yulouchun, it's rare for others to see it, it's all slow drinking, how can you waste it like a burning knife!"
"Why, the dignified Duke Jing, can't afford to serve even a little wine?" The young man wiped his lips and pursed his thin lips, "And your so-called good wine doesn't even taste like wine in my mouth. Drinking it is like white water, and it is worse than burning a knife."
"Vulgar!" Your young master put the wine glass on the table forcefully, pulled out a folding fan from the back of his waist, shook it away, "I said you and I have known each other for some years, why don't you learn any of my advantages? Come on, the prince is more or less a human being, and he is a fool all day long, so he doesn't want to marry a juicy girl from Da Zhou and go back?"
"Your so-called advantages, could it be that there is snow piled up outside, the stove is lit in the house, drinking to warm up, while shaking a fan to cool off?" The young man pointed at the fan in the noble young master's hand teasingly, and shrugged. "I'm sorry, because I have known a madman for a long time, and I have to become a madman. The difficulty is too great, and I am sorry."
"You!" Your young master hastily closed the folding fan, his face turned red and then turned white, "Well, you Huyan Yuanchen, how dare you ridicule me that this son is out of his mind?"
The young man just laughed, but didn't talk to him. He stretched out his index finger and flicked it in the air. The strong wind from his fingertips immediately made the wind chimes hanging not far away jingle, and the door of the private room opened immediately, and the waiter left in response. Come in, "What are the two objective orders?"
"Bring me a jar of burning knives, I want the strongest." After finishing speaking, the young man raised his hand, and a piece of silver flew out, and fell into the shop's second-hand shop safely.
"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer, I'll be here right away." Xiao Er went away in response, while the young master rolled his eyes and turned his gaze out of the window again.
The young man also lowered his eyes, looking at the crowd of people who were blocked from the street by the soldiers.
Different from the gentleman's gentle and handsome, this young man's facial features are extremely deep and stern, his eyes fly into his temples, his eyes are as deep and sharp as an eagle on the plateau, his high nose bridge and perfect lips are outlined in just the right proportions, The lines from the cheek to the jaw are graceful without losing the edges and corners. He doesn't look very old, but the bronze skin and the low-key black clothes give him a rare calm demeanor.
If Ning Yuan looked up and saw him at this moment, he might be able to recognize him immediately. This heroic young man who looks a little rebellious on the outside, but gives people a sense of honesty and stability, is the one who spoke for him on the burning ground in the previous life. The affectionate Prince of Great Xia, Huyan Yuanchen.
But Ning Yuan didn't have the time to raise his head. As soon as he got out of the carriage, soldiers led him towards the city gate.
After getting off the car, Bai Tan looked around, seeing that Ning Xiang was not there, she seemed relieved, and said to Ning Yuan: "Young master, the second young master hasn't come yet, let us catch up first."
Ning Yuan nodded, walked not far from Cao Guichun's group of people, and waited with low eyebrows to welcome his father into the city.
Outside the wide-open city gate, the shadows of a large army can already be seen, dressed in neat armor, shining on the snow.The man walking in the front was a tall horse with a more complicated armor. He was wearing a soaring helmet that only generals were qualified to wear, which blocked most of his face. There was a thin layer of shallow beard on the exposed chin. He is no longer young, but his overall posture is more upright than those young men in their prime who are marching.
Ning Yuan glanced at the man indifferently, and then lowered his eyes, even though he knew that the man riding in the front was his biological father—Wu An Bo Ning Ru Hai.
For Ning Ruhai, Ning Yuan once had a sincere family relationship, but after going through so many things in his last life, his sincere family relationship was also worn out abruptly. It was his indifference and injustice towards his mother that drove him out of the mansion, which chilled Ning Yuan.
After entering the city, Ning Ruhai jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Cao Guichun, took off his helmet and greeted him politely.He is over forty years old, but there is still a chic and suave look between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, which shows that he should be a rare handsome man when he was young.
Ning Yuan was about to go up to him, when he suddenly heard a high-pitched long shout from behind: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
He turned his head and saw at the end of the long street, Ning Xiang was riding his tall bay red horse with two guards, three of them riding towards this side like a gust of wind, seeing him getting closer and closer. , the two guards tightened the reins with their hands, and steered the horse to slow down, but Ning Xiang's horse didn't stop at all, but ran faster, and only rushed forward.
"This horse is crazy! Get out of the way!" Ning Xiang had a panicked expression on his face, as if he couldn't control the horse. .
"Ah!" Seeing a big horse as tall as a person coming towards him, Bai Tan and Bai Mei screamed and retreated in fright, Zhou Shi was much more clever, grabbed one with each hand quickly, and quickly threw himself aside. Then, with a gust of wind, he rushed past them and headed straight for Ning Yuan.
"Master, be careful!" Zhou Shi only had time to yell, and the bay red horse had raised its front hooves high in front of Ning Yuan. As long as the hoofs were chopped off, Ning Yuan would be brainwashed and die on the spot!
The civilians who were blocked by the soldiers suddenly screamed, and Ning Yuan seemed to be frightened, and stood stiffly in place.
"Not good!" Huyan Yuanchen, who was sitting in the private room, got up abruptly, with his fingers moving vigorously, he had already thrown the wine bowl away, but he couldn't catch up, the cold shining horseshoe was falling rapidly, away from Ning Yuan His forehead is less than a foot long.
The surroundings seem to quiet down at this moment.Ning Yuan calmly looked at the approaching horse's hooves and Ning Xiang's grinning face on the horse's back, and slowly clenched his fists.
Is he really scared stupid, of course not.
The moment the horse's hooves fell, he suddenly twisted his body, and shrank his body under the horse's belly at a strange angle. Seeing the genuine qi that was constantly growing in his body, he blasted steadily on the flank of the bay red horse.
The force of the collision was so great that Ning Yuan only saw a circle of ripples from the thick horse hide around his fist, and he was bounced away by the strong recoil force, and rolled twice on the ground, soaked covered in snow.
But the bay red horse was even more difficult. After a tragic neigh, it flew into the air, turned around in mid-air, turned its back down, and fell heavily on its back.
"Ah!" A hog-killing scream came from under the horse's back. Ning Xiang's mouth and nose were full of blood, and he couldn't move under the pressure of the horse. "Help...help!"
011 Red Ginseng Controversy
The sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment, Ning Ruhai exclaimed, "Xiang'er!" He didn't care about being polite to Cao Guichun, and quickly ran forward, commanding the soldiers to drag Ning Xiang out.
Ning Xiang's left hand has been twisted into a strange angle, apparently broken, and he cried tears, mixed with the blood on his face, looking more and more embarrassed.
"Father... woo woo... my hand... woo woo..."
Ning Ruhai was so anxious that he yelled at the guards beside him: "Come find the doctor!", while holding Ning Xiang in his arms and comforting him, he didn't notice at all that he still had a son lying on the snow. No one in the field paid any attention to it, watching this scene with indifferent eyes.
Zhou Shisan ran over to help Ning Yuan up in two steps, and the Bai sisters patted the snowflakes on Ning Yuan's robe up and down with both hands, saying incessantly, "Young master, are you all right, you just scared the slaves!"
"It's okay." Ning Yuan whispered, and retracted his hands into his sleeves. He himself didn't expect the impact just now to be so strong, and now his hands are numb to the point of losing consciousness. If it weren't for the internal force of the Nirvana Heart Sutra Be careful, I'm afraid both palms have been broken.
This internal strength is really strange, maybe it is due to the joint cultivation of the two channels, but after only practicing for a few days, it has already achieved some small success.
The bay red horse was lying stiffly on the ground, already out of breath and out of breath, there was a very eye-catching blood hole in the horse's belly, and half of a white porcelain bowl was embedded in the horse's belly, obviously thrown out by the inner family's master.
Ning Ruhai had been talking to Cao Guichun before, so he didn't pay attention to what happened. The only thing he saw was that the bay red horse rolled in mid-air for no reason, and pressed Ning Xiang under it. Now he saw the white porcelain Wan, he thought that someone was plotting against Ning Xiang, and he was so angry that the veins in his forehead burst out, and he shouted to the surroundings: "Which master has a grudge against Ning, why don't you plot against a child!"
In his eyes, the white porcelain bowl should have been aimed at Ning Xiang, but the horse just raised its hoof and hit the horse's belly.
"What happened?" In the private room, your lord kept looking down.
"It's okay." Huyan Yuanchen looked at Ning Yuan with strange eyes. Others may not have noticed the situation just now, but he could see it clearly. It's not bad to look at, but I don't know what the origin of this young man is.
Ning Ruhai yelled for a while, guessing that no one would respond, so he had no choice but to swallow his breath, bid farewell to Cao Guichun in a hurry, and took Ning Xiang back to the mansion first, leaving Ning Yuan completely aside.
In other words, from the very beginning, he never looked at Ning Yuan squarely.
"Young master, shall we also go back?" Bai Tan asked in a low voice.
Ning Yuan watched the group of people disappear at the end of the street, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, "No." He said, "Just come out, you can accompany me to Baicao Zhai."
Baicaozhai, the largest medicine store in Jiangzhou City, stands in the middle of South Street with a three-story attic filled with medicinal fragrance. It looks like a restaurant rather than a medicine store from a distance.
Seeing the carriage with the sign of Ningfu parked at the door, the waiter from the pharmacy came to the door as a distinguished guest, and hurriedly went up to greet him.
"Xiao Er, last time you told me that the red ginseng was sold out, but has it arrived now?" Bai Tan helped Ning Yuan get out of the car, and asked the Xiao Er.
Xiaoer patted his head, "Oh, so it's you, girl. A red ginseng has arrived, and it's still a very rare century-old ginseng. It's just that the girl came by accident, and now the red ginseng is being watched by other guests."
Bai Tan widened his eyes, pointed at the little girl and said bluntly: "Why are you doing business like this? I have already said that if you have red ginseng, you will keep it for me. How can you show it to others!"
Xiaoer put on a bitter face, "Girl, isn't this embarrassing me? As Xiaoer, we don't obey the shopkeeper's orders. If the shopkeeper wants to give red ginseng to other customers, we can't stop him!"
"Okay, don't embarrass others. Since others are looking at the red ginseng, we just sit and wait." Ning Yuan held Bai Tan, and Xiaoer also welcomed them into the main hall with a smile, and served tea, "Guest wait a moment , the customers looking at the red ginseng are inside, if they don't buy it, I will send it to you immediately."
Ning Yuan nodded, waved him away.
"These profiteers now only recognize money but not people, and they are not afraid that there will be no repeat customers in the future." Bai Tan was still uneasy. She had listened to Ning Yuan's order and asked many times earlier, but the red ginseng was always out of stock. Today I finally got it, but someone else took it first, and it was in front of Ning Yuan, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
There is cold poison in Tang's body, and red ginseng is the most warm and nourishing qi, and it is a good product to restrain cold poison. However, the air in Jiangzhou is damp and cold, and many high-ranking officials and nobles have the habit of eating red ginseng, especially in winter. Become a hot item.
In fact, there are some red ginseng stored in the medicine storehouse of the Ning Mansion, but Ning Yuan has just lost face in front of the Shen family, and he changed hands to get the expensive red ginseng, which will definitely be gossiped by others, and it is not yet known that it is planted in the Tang family's yard. Who is the chief culprit who stole the Agrimony, it would be a shock, so he had to order Bai Tan to find a way to get it outside the mansion.
Across a door curtain, the ginseng inside was acquainted. The young nobleman, the son of King Jing, was holding a brocade box and carefully sizing up a thick, blood-red mountain ginseng inside. He smacked his lips, "Excellent, really excellent, with this thing, plus other gifts, you won't have to worry about seeing Miss Mo'er."
Huyan Yuanchen was still sitting beside him, drinking tea alone with his slightly helpless cousin.
"Xiao Er!" Your son slapped the table, "Tell you shopkeepers, I want this red ginseng!"
His voice was not loud, but Ning Yuan who was sitting outside could hear him clearly. Ning Yuan's expression froze, but his expression was a bit ugly.
Ordinary red ginseng has the effect of restraining cold poison, but if you want to detoxify, you have to take it continuously and take it slowly. However, the hundred-year-old red ginseng has excellent medicinal properties. If you can mix it with other herbs that are warm and cold, you can directly detoxify in one go , Ning Yuan just pretended not to care, but there was a faint expectation in his heart, but now he heard the guests inside clap and hammer, the mood of hope turned into loneliness and unwillingness in an instant.
Thinking that if there is no red ginseng, mother will always suffer from the cold poison, he gritted his teeth, stood up, stopped Xiao Er who was passing by in a hurry, and asked: "Did the customer inside buy that column of red ginseng?"
Xiaoer smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, guest, if there is any good red ginseng next time, I will definitely keep it for you."
"How much silver do they want to buy this red ginseng?" Ning Yuan asked again.
"100 taels." Xiao Er answered quickly.
Ning Yuan thought for a while, then took out a 50 tael bank note from his sleeve robe, and said to Xiaoer, "Well, I'll pay 150 taels for red ginseng, please go in and ask the customer for me, Can you give me the red ginseng, if it is possible, the 50 taels of silver can be regarded as my apology to that guest."
Of course, Xiaoer would not refuse something that could make more money, and immediately went there. Ning Yuan stood there with his head bowed, looking at the curtain with some anxiety. It came out from inside, "Impossible! You go and tell the guy outside, I will pay 1000 taels for your red ginseng, if he can afford a higher price, I will turn around and leave, if he can't afford it, Don't be ashamed of taking out these tens of taels of silver, you don't think it's shabby!"
The voice was loud and loud, obviously yelling at the door for him to hear. Ning Yuan frowned, seeing Xiao Er coming out of the door dejectedly, and returned the silver ticket to him, "I got the guest, you heard it too, Our business is also difficult to do, the customer inside means that he offered 1000 taels, if you can afford a higher price than him, this red ginseng is yours."
Ning Yuan’s monthly bill is only 15 taels of silver, even if he searched Xia Zhu’s private collection, it would be a swollen face to get out 200 taels of silver, and 1000 taels of silver, even if it was replaced by Liu Shi, who has always been generous. , the eyelids would twitch violently a few times.
"Young master, isn't this an obvious insult!" Bai Tan really couldn't see it, "Slaves go in and argue with them!"
"That's all." Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, took back the 50 taels of bank notes, and smiled at Xiao Er: "Forget it over there, if there are red ginseng next time, please take care of me. "
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk!" Xiaoer was afraid that Ning Yuan would also be a master who couldn't hold his breath, and if there was a disturbance, the pharmacy would suffer. Fortunately, Ning Yuan knew current affairs, and he
Ning Yuan picked up the vase, looked around, nodded approvingly, and didn't know if he was praising plum blossoms or white sandalwood.
"You send this vase of plum blossoms to Xianglian Courtyard, and take two innocent and sensible girls there along the way. My mother is not in good health, and my sister is young, so I have to leave it alone." Ning Yuan handed out the vase.
Blessed by Bai Tan, he took the vase and hurried away.Ning Yuan came to the courtyard, and there were two rows of servant girls standing in the middle of the courtyard, led by Zhou Shi, all of them lowered their brows and looked cautiously, occasionally looking at Ning Yuan with some respect in their eyes.
They were urgently transferred from other places by the housekeeper according to Luo's mother's order. I don't know anything else, I only know that the original servants in this Zhuxuan hall have been beaten out of the house by random sticks. The miserable howling sounds unusual They were frightened, so they were all very honest, afraid of touching the brow of the third young master in front of them.
Ning Yuan glanced over their faces, and according to the memory of his previous life, after confirming that there was no one from the Liu family, he nodded to Zhou Shi, and Zhou Shi immediately took them down to explain the affairs.
Only a tall maidservant in white clothes didn't leave with her, but walked forward and bowed to Ning Yuan, "Slave girl Ruxiang, please greet the third young master."
Ning Yuan had a smile on his face, "Sister Yunxiang, why should you be so polite, you are serving the old lady, but you are willing to come to my place to take care of me, I don't know how to thank you."
"The third young master killed the servant girl. The old lady loves the third young master very much. Being able to serve the third young master is also a blessing for the servant girl." This Yun Xiang is also very elegant in appearance, and her expression is even more dignified. In comparison, it's like heaven and earth.
Rue Xiang was brought here by Luo's mother in the afternoon, and she said that it was Shen's order to let Rue Xiang replace Xia Zhu as the maid in charge of Zhu Xuantang.Even though Ning Yuan would not allow her to serve her personally, she would not be negligent, so he took a jade bracelet he found from Xia Zhu and handed it out, "My place is shabby, so I can only invite Miss Yunxiang to help you." be magnanimous."
"Young Master, you are very polite, servant girl, thank you for your reward." Yun Xiang was not pretentious, she lowered her head to pick up the things, knowing that she would not be needed here for a while, so she retreated back to her room.
Standing in the yard, Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't sleep well last night, and in the morning I had a few tricks with Mrs. Liu in the Shou'an Hall. Today's weather was fine, and a few rays of sunlight came out of the clouds in the afternoon, making me feel lazy. He thumped his shoulders and saw Not far away, facing the light, there was a cushioned armchair, so she walked over and lay down softly on it, preparing to take a nap for a while.
At any rate, his first step to gain a foothold in the Ning Mansion has been completed, and this Zhuxuan Hall has become a place where he can almost sleep at ease without worrying about cold knives.
During this afternoon nap, Ning Yuan only felt that he slept very well, and his whole body was warm. It was not like winter at all. The cloak was snugly wrapped—no wonder naps in the open air were so warm.
"Young master is awake." A deep voice came from the side, "It's windy at night, I'm afraid it's going to change, young master, come in quickly."
Ning Yuan was startled by the sound, and opened his eyes a little, only to realize that Zhou Shi was standing beside him. His complexion was bronzed, and he was wearing some dark clothes, which made him very inconspicuous at night.
"Are you shielding me from the wind?" Ning Yuan sat up and saw that Zhou Shi was standing in a place where there was a wind, so he hurriedly grabbed his hand and shook it. Sure enough, his wide palm was cold.
"Why don't you wake me up? It won't be worth it if you freeze up." Ning Yuan was a little annoyed. He valued friendship and the people around him. If Zhou Shi got sick because of him, it would be worse than his own sickness. uncomfortable.
"It's okay, young master. I'm strong and I'm not bad from the cold." Zhou Shi retracted his hands in embarrassment, and grinned at the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling, but when his serious face smiled, it turned into a nondescript expression.
"I'll ask Bai Tan to make you a bowl of ginger soup later on. Don't be afraid of everything, just in case." Ning Yuan stood up, "But do you want to eat?"
"Bai Tan came over just now and said that dinner will be ready in half an hour in the small kitchen, and the young master just woke up by coincidence, by the way." Zhou Shi seemed to think of something, he took it out of his arms, and took out the yellow and crumpled book. The book came, "I took the new servants to take care of the backyard in the afternoon, and found this thing from the firewood pile. I don't know how to read, so I wanted to show it to you, young master."
Ning Yuan accepted it strangely.The book is obviously very old, and it has not been well preserved, so the appearance is very dilapidated. Fortunately, the original paper is excellent silk paper, and it uses the most precious purple gold ink, so the places where there are handwriting I can still see clearly.
Facing the lantern hanging on the eaves not far away, Ning Yuan looked at the words written in four large seal characters on the cover: "Nirvana Heart Sutra".
Ning Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned two pages back, and what he saw were lines of formulas and diagrams of meridians.
It should be right, this is a secret book of inner strength and mental methods.
As a garrison of Jiangzhou, Ning Ruhai commanded [-] garrison troops, so he naturally practiced martial arts, but the internal energy he practiced was the standard internal energy "Body Refining Jue" in the army. This "Nirvana Heart Sutra", even if it is similar to When he was by Sikong Xu's side, he was used to all kinds of Jianghu martial arts collected by him, but Ning Yuan had never heard of them.
Thinking that Zhuxuantang used to be the place where Ning Ruhai stored books, then this secret book should also be Ning Ruhai's collection, maybe it's not a good thing, so even if he missed it, he didn't find it.
"Young master, do you know what book this is?" Zhou Shi asked aloud seeing that Ning Yuan had been silent for a long time.
"A book about martial arts, a book of inner strength and mind." Ning Yuan shook the dust on the cover of the book lightly, put it in his bosom, and when he looked up again, he saw Zhou Shi's dark eyes hearing "practice martial arts" After the word two, it actually started to light up.
Ning Yuan couldn't help asking: "Are you interested in martial arts?"
Zhou Shi nodded vigorously, showing an enthusiasm that did not match his personality, "Master, can you teach me."
"Teach you?" Ning Yuan smiled, "I don't know martial arts, how can I teach you?"
"But." Zhou Shi hesitated for a while, but still said: "But I saw the young master boxing in the yard this morning."
Ning Yuan's eyes widened, "You got up so early?"
"I have to go to the back door of the mansion to pick firewood every day before dawn, so I saw it." Zhou Shi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Master, can you teach me."
"My skills are just superficial legs and feet, not serious martial arts." Ning Yuan thought for a while, "Although I can't teach you, I know some martial arts routines, and I can write them down for you. practice, but you have to learn how to recognize characters first, otherwise you won’t be able to read.”
Zhou Shi didn't expect that Ning Yuan would really agree, his face flushed with excitement, and his cheeks were tense, "I will definitely study hard!"
After dinner, Ning Yuan returned to his room and began to read the Nirvana Heart Sutra carefully by candlelight.
He naturally knew that he couldn't practice internal skills, but he still couldn't help but want to try. Just like Zhou Shi wanted to practice martial arts, Ning Yuan's desire to practice martial arts is actually even worse. In the past, he wanted to assist Sikong Xu , But now, he is purely to protect himself and his loved ones.
Perhaps it was the shock of the assassinations he witnessed in his previous life. No matter how powerful a person is, even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, when the assassin's cold knife is wiped on his neck, if he does not have the ability to protect himself, he will only be able to protect himself. Ashes to ashes to ashes to ashes, nothing more.
Especially after what happened in the morning, I'm afraid Liu's mother and son will hate him even more.Ning Xiang has been practicing martial arts with Ning Ruhai since he was a child. If he intends to find fault with him, he may be able to maim himself, and Ning Ruhai will not severely punish his second son who is currently his most important.
Ning Yuan wants to prevent problems before they happen, and it is always good to have a little self-defense, which is why he agreed to teach Zhou Shi martial arts.
Opening the cover of the silk paper, the first sentence on the title page shocked Ning Yuan on the spot.
"If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace!"
010 Huyan Yuanchen
Ning Yuan rubbed his eyes. He confirmed that he read the words in black and white. A complicated light flashed in his eyes, and he turned to the next page.
The second page should be the preface left by the person who wrote the secret book. After reading the whole book, Ning Yuan suddenly realized why there were such words on the title page.
This secret book originated from the hands of a eunuch in the previous dynasty.Because the eunuch had to purify his body since he was young, his yang meridian was underdeveloped, but his yin meridian was much stronger than that of ordinary men because of the incomplete yang meridian. With such a physique, no matter what kind of internal skills he could practice, he would have the same problems as Ning Yuan , The internal energy cultivated in one channel is lost from the other channel, but compared with Ning Yuan, the loss is less obvious, and a certain amount of internal energy can still be accumulated.
The eunuch who wrote this secret manual can be described as a world-class genius. He read all the martial arts in the world, and unexpectedly thought of a method of co-cultivation of yin and yang that is very suitable for eunuchs to practice. The internal force cultivated flows into the Yin meridian, and the internal force cultivated in the Yin meridian flows into the Yang meridian, which is endless, forming a cycle of heaven and earth. Not only will the internal force not be lost at all, but the speed of practice can also increase by leaps and bounds, which is better than ordinary single-cultivation one-channel cheats Several times that, and that eunuch also became the number one master in the Dauchi by relying on this exercise.
It’s just that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, because the yin and yang meridians in the eunuch’s body are incomplete, and they cannot withstand the vigorous internal force. Although this kind of exercise is against the sky, the life span of the eunuch who practices it will be greatly reduced as the meridians wither, and generally cannot survive. At the age of 30, at the end of the preface, the author specially left a motto: one day of practicing, one day of life is lost, remember!
Seeing this, Ning Yuan closed his eyes, only feeling dry mouth, and the words of the alchemist who diagnosed his pulse many years ago began to echo in his mind: "Your physique is really peculiar, you have both Yang and Yin channels in your body, and they are not mutually exclusive. Influenced, he is much stronger than ordinary people, if one day he can find the kung fu of dual meridians, he can practice internal kung fu, but I have never heard of anyone creating such an extraordinary kung fu."
Isn't the meaning of the "two-pulse joint cultivation" that the alchemist said at that time exactly the same as this "Nirvana Heart Sutra"?
So does this mean that one's own physique can practice this miraculous skill that the created people believe "one day of practice will shorten one's life" without having to worry about shrinking meridians?
For a moment Ning Yuan's heart was beating fast, he hesitated for a while, bit his lip, climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged, with his heart turned upside down, and began to try to practice according to the first-level formulas mentioned in the cheat book.
Concentrate on calmness, hold Yuan and keep one, soon, a stream of air with a shallow temperature is derived from the dantian, travels along the Yang meridian for a small circle in the body, and soon returns to the lower abdomen.
This is here. In the past, when I practiced internal strength, all the internal strength that I practiced would be completely lost due to the influence of another channel after a small cycle. After I felt that internal strength return to the lower abdomen, I felt a sense of relief again. As the signs of slowly dissipating, Ning Yuan kept on doing nothing, trying hard to control the internal force, and suddenly broke away from the Yang Meridian, and slammed into the Yin Meridian.
The moment the heat broke into the yin veins, Ning Yuan shivered, and at the same time, there were dense pains in the meridians, but it was gratifying that the internal force circled along the yin veins in a regular manner. , and returned to the Yang Meridian again, just like this, the small circus became the big circus, and it actually stopped dissipating, and there were signs of gradually consolidating and growing.
"It can be done!" He opened his eyes in surprise, and picked up the Nirvana Heart Sutra as if he had found a treasure. There really are people with both yin and yang!
With internal strength, he can practice those martial arts that require internal force, which is equivalent to having the ability to protect himself. Even if someone wants to use cold knives on him, he will not be afraid at all.
It is far from enough to just use the internal force like a trickle in the current meridians.Ning Yuan thought to himself, he must cultivate to the Xiaocheng realm as soon as possible, so that he will be more handy when dealing with some things in the future.
For several days, Ning Yuan stayed in the bedroom and practiced kung fu without going out of the door, except for the morning and evening visits to Mrs. Shen, and to visit Mrs. Tang. Zhou Shi, who was faithfully guarding the door, had a good meal of repairs, and some of the overdone ones were rewarded directly by Yunxiang. There was a maid assigned by the old lady to take charge of the yard, and the servants also knew that the third young master had the support of the old lady behind him. Although he was still curious in his heart, he no longer dared to make any excessive movements to find a hit for himself.
Eight days later, in the early morning, the housekeeper personally sent a message saying that Wu Anbo returned from his march in the afternoon, and the old lady ordered the young masters in the mansion to greet him at the gate of the city.
This time Ning Ruhai took [-] Jiangzhou garrison troops out to train for more than [-] days. It was a very ordinary winter drill, but he accidentally destroyed the bandits in the two villages in the mountains outside the city. , Therefore, in terms of posture, there is also the meaning of returning from victory. Even the governor Cao Guichun went out of the mansion in person to greet him at the city gate, and the East Street directly opposite the city gate has long been patrolled by rows of garrison troops.
Ning Yuan led the Bai sisters into the carriage prepared by the housekeeper at the gate of the mansion. Zhou Shi drove the carriage himself and trotted all the way towards the city gate. Because the sign of Ning Mansion was hung on the carriage, although there were many soldiers on patrol, there were not many of them. stop for interrogation.
Along the way, Baimei opened the curtains curiously, looked at the street scenery, only Baitan showed a worried expression, and said to Ning Yuan who closed his eyes after getting in the car, "Master, we are already out late, and now we are going faster." Some, I heard that the second young master rode the bay red horse that the master rewarded, the famous horse runs fast, if we are too late than the second young master, others will discuss it."
"Do you think they won't discuss it if we arrive early?" Ning Yuan opened his eyes with a surprisingly calm expression, "There's no rush."
The carriage ran for a stick of incense, and stopped a hundred and eighty feet away from the city gate, but it could not go any further, and had to walk the rest of the way.
Two rows of garrison troops stood neatly beside the East Street, armed with iron armor and silver guns, squeezing all the onlookers behind. Cao Guichun, the governor of Jiangzhou, was in neat official uniform, and personally led a few soldiers to wait at the gate of the city, with a very serious expression on his face. For solemnity.
Not far from the city gate is the very famous restaurant "Juxian Building" in Jiangzhou. At this time, on the second floor of Juxian Building, in a private room facing the street, there is a young gentleman in luxurious clothes, holding a wine glass, looking at the The grand ostentation downstairs joked: "I have heard that Cao Guichun is a very famous 'flattering governor'. As expected, it is better to see it than to hear it. When welcoming a garrison commander back to the city, he can put on a posture of welcoming the general's triumphant return. If If the governor of Jianghuai came to visit him, wouldn't the whole Jiangzhou be under martial law."
The young master has a handsome appearance, a fair face, and an elegant posture. He looks like a person who is used to being pampered. After drinking a glass of wine, he licked his lips that were wet from the wine, and looked at the young man sitting opposite him, "You Say it?"
"Wu Anbo used to be General Fenwu. Even though Cao Guichun had a higher official position than him, he was not knighted. If you look at the etiquette of the aristocrats of your Great Zhou, his ostentation is not out of the ordinary." The young man said, holding up the white cloth in front of him. Porcelain bowl, raised his head and drank the full bowl of wine, "And don't forget that you came all the way from Huajing to Jiangzhou to hook up with Wu Anbo's daughter, now you can chew your future father-in-law's wine Tongue root, I'm not afraid that Wu Anbo will deny you as a son-in-law if he finds out."
"Hurry up and put your crow's mouth away, or if this son is unlucky, I will be the first to question you." Your son's complexion changed, and his eyes showed melancholy, "Oh, after so many years, I don't know Momo Miss Er, do you remember me?"
"Maybe your Miss Mo'er is already married." The young man said without mercy, pouring cold water on the noble young master, "But this way, I heard that the Wu'anbo mansion is the most popular now. It's not your fairy sister Ning Mo'er, but someone named Ning Ping'er, who said that she is young and beautiful, with a pure heart, and people who came to propose marriage have already lined up two streets, so maybe she is also worthy of you."
"Bah, no one in this world can compare to Miss Mo'er in beauty, Ning Ping'er? Just by the name, she is a girl who looks like a bland girl. She is too vulgar." Your son waved his hand, "Miss Mo'er is like that. Beauty, how can an ordinary person deserve to be married? Even if she marries, she can marry and leave. Since I am here this time, I will always fight hard. Is it true that I will marry that Princess Wanyi according to the arrangement of the old man at home? No."
"Forget it, there is an old saying in the Great Zhou, if you want to be a gentleman, you can be a gentleman. If it weren't for the fact that the snow scene in Jiangzhou is one of the top ten scenic spots in the Great Zhou, I wouldn't have accompanied you on this trip." The young man said. With a roll in his throat, he drank another bowl of wine.
The young master showed a painful expression on his face, "Reckless waste, really wasteful, this is the best Yulouchun, it's rare for others to see it, it's all slow drinking, how can you waste it like a burning knife!"
"Why, the dignified Duke Jing, can't afford to serve even a little wine?" The young man wiped his lips and pursed his thin lips, "And your so-called good wine doesn't even taste like wine in my mouth. Drinking it is like white water, and it is worse than burning a knife."
"Vulgar!" Your young master put the wine glass on the table forcefully, pulled out a folding fan from the back of his waist, shook it away, "I said you and I have known each other for some years, why don't you learn any of my advantages? Come on, the prince is more or less a human being, and he is a fool all day long, so he doesn't want to marry a juicy girl from Da Zhou and go back?"
"Your so-called advantages, could it be that there is snow piled up outside, the stove is lit in the house, drinking to warm up, while shaking a fan to cool off?" The young man pointed at the fan in the noble young master's hand teasingly, and shrugged. "I'm sorry, because I have known a madman for a long time, and I have to become a madman. The difficulty is too great, and I am sorry."
"You!" Your young master hastily closed the folding fan, his face turned red and then turned white, "Well, you Huyan Yuanchen, how dare you ridicule me that this son is out of his mind?"
The young man just laughed, but didn't talk to him. He stretched out his index finger and flicked it in the air. The strong wind from his fingertips immediately made the wind chimes hanging not far away jingle, and the door of the private room opened immediately, and the waiter left in response. Come in, "What are the two objective orders?"
"Bring me a jar of burning knives, I want the strongest." After finishing speaking, the young man raised his hand, and a piece of silver flew out, and fell into the shop's second-hand shop safely.
"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer, I'll be here right away." Xiao Er went away in response, while the young master rolled his eyes and turned his gaze out of the window again.
The young man also lowered his eyes, looking at the crowd of people who were blocked from the street by the soldiers.
Different from the gentleman's gentle and handsome, this young man's facial features are extremely deep and stern, his eyes fly into his temples, his eyes are as deep and sharp as an eagle on the plateau, his high nose bridge and perfect lips are outlined in just the right proportions, The lines from the cheek to the jaw are graceful without losing the edges and corners. He doesn't look very old, but the bronze skin and the low-key black clothes give him a rare calm demeanor.
If Ning Yuan looked up and saw him at this moment, he might be able to recognize him immediately. This heroic young man who looks a little rebellious on the outside, but gives people a sense of honesty and stability, is the one who spoke for him on the burning ground in the previous life. The affectionate Prince of Great Xia, Huyan Yuanchen.
But Ning Yuan didn't have the time to raise his head. As soon as he got out of the carriage, soldiers led him towards the city gate.
After getting off the car, Bai Tan looked around, seeing that Ning Xiang was not there, she seemed relieved, and said to Ning Yuan: "Young master, the second young master hasn't come yet, let us catch up first."
Ning Yuan nodded, walked not far from Cao Guichun's group of people, and waited with low eyebrows to welcome his father into the city.
Outside the wide-open city gate, the shadows of a large army can already be seen, dressed in neat armor, shining on the snow.The man walking in the front was a tall horse with a more complicated armor. He was wearing a soaring helmet that only generals were qualified to wear, which blocked most of his face. There was a thin layer of shallow beard on the exposed chin. He is no longer young, but his overall posture is more upright than those young men in their prime who are marching.
Ning Yuan glanced at the man indifferently, and then lowered his eyes, even though he knew that the man riding in the front was his biological father—Wu An Bo Ning Ru Hai.
For Ning Ruhai, Ning Yuan once had a sincere family relationship, but after going through so many things in his last life, his sincere family relationship was also worn out abruptly. It was his indifference and injustice towards his mother that drove him out of the mansion, which chilled Ning Yuan.
After entering the city, Ning Ruhai jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Cao Guichun, took off his helmet and greeted him politely.He is over forty years old, but there is still a chic and suave look between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, which shows that he should be a rare handsome man when he was young.
Ning Yuan was about to go up to him, when he suddenly heard a high-pitched long shout from behind: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
He turned his head and saw at the end of the long street, Ning Xiang was riding his tall bay red horse with two guards, three of them riding towards this side like a gust of wind, seeing him getting closer and closer. , the two guards tightened the reins with their hands, and steered the horse to slow down, but Ning Xiang's horse didn't stop at all, but ran faster, and only rushed forward.
"This horse is crazy! Get out of the way!" Ning Xiang had a panicked expression on his face, as if he couldn't control the horse. .
"Ah!" Seeing a big horse as tall as a person coming towards him, Bai Tan and Bai Mei screamed and retreated in fright, Zhou Shi was much more clever, grabbed one with each hand quickly, and quickly threw himself aside. Then, with a gust of wind, he rushed past them and headed straight for Ning Yuan.
"Master, be careful!" Zhou Shi only had time to yell, and the bay red horse had raised its front hooves high in front of Ning Yuan. As long as the hoofs were chopped off, Ning Yuan would be brainwashed and die on the spot!
The civilians who were blocked by the soldiers suddenly screamed, and Ning Yuan seemed to be frightened, and stood stiffly in place.
"Not good!" Huyan Yuanchen, who was sitting in the private room, got up abruptly, with his fingers moving vigorously, he had already thrown the wine bowl away, but he couldn't catch up, the cold shining horseshoe was falling rapidly, away from Ning Yuan His forehead is less than a foot long.
The surroundings seem to quiet down at this moment.Ning Yuan calmly looked at the approaching horse's hooves and Ning Xiang's grinning face on the horse's back, and slowly clenched his fists.
Is he really scared stupid, of course not.
The moment the horse's hooves fell, he suddenly twisted his body, and shrank his body under the horse's belly at a strange angle. Seeing the genuine qi that was constantly growing in his body, he blasted steadily on the flank of the bay red horse.
The force of the collision was so great that Ning Yuan only saw a circle of ripples from the thick horse hide around his fist, and he was bounced away by the strong recoil force, and rolled twice on the ground, soaked covered in snow.
But the bay red horse was even more difficult. After a tragic neigh, it flew into the air, turned around in mid-air, turned its back down, and fell heavily on its back.
"Ah!" A hog-killing scream came from under the horse's back. Ning Xiang's mouth and nose were full of blood, and he couldn't move under the pressure of the horse. "Help...help!"
011 Red Ginseng Controversy
The sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment, Ning Ruhai exclaimed, "Xiang'er!" He didn't care about being polite to Cao Guichun, and quickly ran forward, commanding the soldiers to drag Ning Xiang out.
Ning Xiang's left hand has been twisted into a strange angle, apparently broken, and he cried tears, mixed with the blood on his face, looking more and more embarrassed.
"Father... woo woo... my hand... woo woo..."
Ning Ruhai was so anxious that he yelled at the guards beside him: "Come find the doctor!", while holding Ning Xiang in his arms and comforting him, he didn't notice at all that he still had a son lying on the snow. No one in the field paid any attention to it, watching this scene with indifferent eyes.
Zhou Shisan ran over to help Ning Yuan up in two steps, and the Bai sisters patted the snowflakes on Ning Yuan's robe up and down with both hands, saying incessantly, "Young master, are you all right, you just scared the slaves!"
"It's okay." Ning Yuan whispered, and retracted his hands into his sleeves. He himself didn't expect the impact just now to be so strong, and now his hands are numb to the point of losing consciousness. If it weren't for the internal force of the Nirvana Heart Sutra Be careful, I'm afraid both palms have been broken.
This internal strength is really strange, maybe it is due to the joint cultivation of the two channels, but after only practicing for a few days, it has already achieved some small success.
The bay red horse was lying stiffly on the ground, already out of breath and out of breath, there was a very eye-catching blood hole in the horse's belly, and half of a white porcelain bowl was embedded in the horse's belly, obviously thrown out by the inner family's master.
Ning Ruhai had been talking to Cao Guichun before, so he didn't pay attention to what happened. The only thing he saw was that the bay red horse rolled in mid-air for no reason, and pressed Ning Xiang under it. Now he saw the white porcelain Wan, he thought that someone was plotting against Ning Xiang, and he was so angry that the veins in his forehead burst out, and he shouted to the surroundings: "Which master has a grudge against Ning, why don't you plot against a child!"
In his eyes, the white porcelain bowl should have been aimed at Ning Xiang, but the horse just raised its hoof and hit the horse's belly.
"What happened?" In the private room, your lord kept looking down.
"It's okay." Huyan Yuanchen looked at Ning Yuan with strange eyes. Others may not have noticed the situation just now, but he could see it clearly. It's not bad to look at, but I don't know what the origin of this young man is.
Ning Ruhai yelled for a while, guessing that no one would respond, so he had no choice but to swallow his breath, bid farewell to Cao Guichun in a hurry, and took Ning Xiang back to the mansion first, leaving Ning Yuan completely aside.
In other words, from the very beginning, he never looked at Ning Yuan squarely.
"Young master, shall we also go back?" Bai Tan asked in a low voice.
Ning Yuan watched the group of people disappear at the end of the street, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, "No." He said, "Just come out, you can accompany me to Baicao Zhai."
Baicaozhai, the largest medicine store in Jiangzhou City, stands in the middle of South Street with a three-story attic filled with medicinal fragrance. It looks like a restaurant rather than a medicine store from a distance.
Seeing the carriage with the sign of Ningfu parked at the door, the waiter from the pharmacy came to the door as a distinguished guest, and hurriedly went up to greet him.
"Xiao Er, last time you told me that the red ginseng was sold out, but has it arrived now?" Bai Tan helped Ning Yuan get out of the car, and asked the Xiao Er.
Xiaoer patted his head, "Oh, so it's you, girl. A red ginseng has arrived, and it's still a very rare century-old ginseng. It's just that the girl came by accident, and now the red ginseng is being watched by other guests."
Bai Tan widened his eyes, pointed at the little girl and said bluntly: "Why are you doing business like this? I have already said that if you have red ginseng, you will keep it for me. How can you show it to others!"
Xiaoer put on a bitter face, "Girl, isn't this embarrassing me? As Xiaoer, we don't obey the shopkeeper's orders. If the shopkeeper wants to give red ginseng to other customers, we can't stop him!"
"Okay, don't embarrass others. Since others are looking at the red ginseng, we just sit and wait." Ning Yuan held Bai Tan, and Xiaoer also welcomed them into the main hall with a smile, and served tea, "Guest wait a moment , the customers looking at the red ginseng are inside, if they don't buy it, I will send it to you immediately."
Ning Yuan nodded, waved him away.
"These profiteers now only recognize money but not people, and they are not afraid that there will be no repeat customers in the future." Bai Tan was still uneasy. She had listened to Ning Yuan's order and asked many times earlier, but the red ginseng was always out of stock. Today I finally got it, but someone else took it first, and it was in front of Ning Yuan, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
There is cold poison in Tang's body, and red ginseng is the most warm and nourishing qi, and it is a good product to restrain cold poison. However, the air in Jiangzhou is damp and cold, and many high-ranking officials and nobles have the habit of eating red ginseng, especially in winter. Become a hot item.
In fact, there are some red ginseng stored in the medicine storehouse of the Ning Mansion, but Ning Yuan has just lost face in front of the Shen family, and he changed hands to get the expensive red ginseng, which will definitely be gossiped by others, and it is not yet known that it is planted in the Tang family's yard. Who is the chief culprit who stole the Agrimony, it would be a shock, so he had to order Bai Tan to find a way to get it outside the mansion.
Across a door curtain, the ginseng inside was acquainted. The young nobleman, the son of King Jing, was holding a brocade box and carefully sizing up a thick, blood-red mountain ginseng inside. He smacked his lips, "Excellent, really excellent, with this thing, plus other gifts, you won't have to worry about seeing Miss Mo'er."
Huyan Yuanchen was still sitting beside him, drinking tea alone with his slightly helpless cousin.
"Xiao Er!" Your son slapped the table, "Tell you shopkeepers, I want this red ginseng!"
His voice was not loud, but Ning Yuan who was sitting outside could hear him clearly. Ning Yuan's expression froze, but his expression was a bit ugly.
Ordinary red ginseng has the effect of restraining cold poison, but if you want to detoxify, you have to take it continuously and take it slowly. However, the hundred-year-old red ginseng has excellent medicinal properties. If you can mix it with other herbs that are warm and cold, you can directly detoxify in one go , Ning Yuan just pretended not to care, but there was a faint expectation in his heart, but now he heard the guests inside clap and hammer, the mood of hope turned into loneliness and unwillingness in an instant.
Thinking that if there is no red ginseng, mother will always suffer from the cold poison, he gritted his teeth, stood up, stopped Xiao Er who was passing by in a hurry, and asked: "Did the customer inside buy that column of red ginseng?"
Xiaoer smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, guest, if there is any good red ginseng next time, I will definitely keep it for you."
"How much silver do they want to buy this red ginseng?" Ning Yuan asked again.
"100 taels." Xiao Er answered quickly.
Ning Yuan thought for a while, then took out a 50 tael bank note from his sleeve robe, and said to Xiaoer, "Well, I'll pay 150 taels for red ginseng, please go in and ask the customer for me, Can you give me the red ginseng, if it is possible, the 50 taels of silver can be regarded as my apology to that guest."
Of course, Xiaoer would not refuse something that could make more money, and immediately went there. Ning Yuan stood there with his head bowed, looking at the curtain with some anxiety. It came out from inside, "Impossible! You go and tell the guy outside, I will pay 1000 taels for your red ginseng, if he can afford a higher price, I will turn around and leave, if he can't afford it, Don't be ashamed of taking out these tens of taels of silver, you don't think it's shabby!"
The voice was loud and loud, obviously yelling at the door for him to hear. Ning Yuan frowned, seeing Xiao Er coming out of the door dejectedly, and returned the silver ticket to him, "I got the guest, you heard it too, Our business is also difficult to do, the customer inside means that he offered 1000 taels, if you can afford a higher price than him, this red ginseng is yours."
Ning Yuan’s monthly bill is only 15 taels of silver, even if he searched Xia Zhu’s private collection, it would be a swollen face to get out 200 taels of silver, and 1000 taels of silver, even if it was replaced by Liu Shi, who has always been generous. , the eyelids would twitch violently a few times.
"Young master, isn't this an obvious insult!" Bai Tan really couldn't see it, "Slaves go in and argue with them!"
"That's all." Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, took back the 50 taels of bank notes, and smiled at Xiao Er: "Forget it over there, if there are red ginseng next time, please take care of me. "
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk!" Xiaoer was afraid that Ning Yuan would also be a master who couldn't hold his breath, and if there was a disturbance, the pharmacy would suffer. Fortunately, Ning Yuan knew current affairs, and he
