Jiangnan
Chapter 11
Nie Ying didn't know that Ren Pengfei had come again, let alone that Ren Pengfei had moved to live at home.
That day when he woke up from a hangover, he rubbed his aching head and staggered towards the tightly closed door. In the past, as long as there was a slight noise in his room, the clever servant girl would push the door open in time, hold the washbasin and hold the door. There are cotton towels, mouthwash, tea and breakfast, but today there is no movement for some reason.
When Nie Ying opened the door, she saw a tall figure with backlight outside. The sunlight hurt her eyes. She squinted her eyes and saw a scene that he will never forget. The person he misses day and night, Standing quietly outside his room door, with his back to the light, his face was solemn, like a serene but majestic god descended into the world.
As if it came out of nowhere at the beginning, just like that, he crashed into his heart that was originally calm and calm, creating a turbulent sea that could never stop.
Living in Washington with Ren Pengfei, apart from Qingqing who was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Jixu, there is also a dumb aunt who takes care of Qingqing more carefully than anyone else.Even though he didn't live in voluntarily, he had to bow his head under the eaves, not to mention that he was asking for others, so even if he was worried about living in Washington, Ren Pengfei still couldn't move in with his martial arts guards.
Originally, Mrs. Hua meant that he could only bring his daughter to live in. Later, adding a dumb girl was a special kindness.
Regarding living in Washington, Ren Pengfei didn't treat him as a guest, and Mrs. Hua didn't treat him as a guest, but asked the housekeeper to take him to a remote courtyard adjacent to the servant's residence.
The three huts in the overgrown courtyard were filled with thick dust. The steward brought them here, looked around, frowned slightly in disgust, and said sternly: "Guard Ren, this is where you will live in the future." If you need anything, just tell the old man, if you need help cleaning, the old man will call some people over for you.”
"No need." Ren Pengfei slightly bowed to the butler to salute, "Thank you, Ren, for your kindness, we can handle it."
"Then you guys clean up first, the old man has to go to work first."
"Go slowly, don't send."
The figure of the old housekeeper disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and Ren Pengfei glanced at the messy and dark hut again, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.
From this treatment, it became clear how much Mrs. Hua hated and annoyed him, and the reason was not difficult to guess.Ren Pengfei didn't pay much attention to these humiliations. After all, what kind of suffering did he never suffer from the ghost mother-in-law?Just bear it and it will pass.It's just that he doesn't know if the dumb aunt and daughter can adapt.
When Ren Peng flew to the dumb aunt's side, he found that she had started to clean the house silently with the sleeping Qingqing on her back.
Mrs. Hua only left one sentence as to what Ren Pengfei, who was living in Washington, would do.
So the next day, before the rooster crowed before dawn, Ren Pengfei got up early to ask about the courtyard where Nie Ying lived, and stood guard in front of his still closed door.
Ren Pengfei is very patient and has a solid foundation. Standing outside the house for an hour or two has no effect on him.When Nie Ying opened the door under the bright sunshine, the calm Ren Pengfei first smelled the faint smell of alcohol coming from the room, looked at the pale but still handsome face of the man in the door room, and fell silent under his shocked gaze. After half a cup of tea, he pursed his lips and called softly: "Master."
Mrs. Hua was sitting in the house at that time sorting a large box of clothes. These clothes, two pieces a year, each slightly larger and wider, began to sew from the day her son disappeared until the clothes The thick suitcase was packed tightly, and her son finally returned to her side.
When Nie Ying opened the door and entered, she saw her sitting among a pile of clothes carefully folding them. Seeing him, she smiled slightly: "My son is awake, have you eaten yet? Mommy, here is your favorite snack, hurry up." go eat."
"Mother." Nie Ying approached, sat cross-legged beside her, looked at her patronizingly without saying a word.
Mrs. Hua was still smiling, and caressed the clothes, big and small, one by one.
"Mom." Nie Ying called again.
"These clothes have been sewn since the year you left mother. Look, this is the first one. You were still a little girl at that time." Mrs. Hua pulled a piece of clothes, a small one, with different colors Simple yet childlike, the stitches are tight, and it can be seen how hard the sewing person is.
Afterwards, Mrs. Hua put the clothes one by one in front of Nie Ying with a calm face. When she looked at her son again, her eyes were filled with tears. Nie Ying dared not look at such a sad mother, but she couldn't look away. .
"You are back, mother is very happy, really. You are the only child of mother, mother did not have the opportunity to love you and take care of you before, now mother has to double make up for you. Don't ask mother why, and don't hesitate to shrink back, as long as you want As long as you can be happy, even if you let your mother go up the mountain of swords and down the mountain of fire Hainiang, she is willing."
What Nie Ying wanted to say, but no matter what it was, it was so weak and powerless in her mother's loving eyes.
Mrs. Hua wiped away her tears suddenly, resumed her usual smile, and took out the long moon-white silk gown that had just been sewn and handed it to him.
"Mother just made it, quick, put it on, let mother see if it fits well."
Nie Ying took it, and felt the smooth and soft feel of the fabric in her hand, she finally smiled and got up to put it on.
Ren Pengfei's sudden appearance surprised Nie Ying, and his humble attitude made him even more at a loss, and even felt a blow of disillusionment.When she heard the phrase "Young Master", Nie Ying almost ran away to her mother.If it wasn't for his mother's obstruction, how could Ren Pengfei appear at home? He came here to ask her why she did this.
He didn't ask in the end, because Mrs. Hua had already told him, and she did it because he thought so.
But Nie Ying still didn't quite adapt to such a status change. He never thought that Ren Pengfei would be inferior to others. Instead, he always needed to look up to him to curry favor with him, and tried every means to hope to be on an equal footing with him...
Different from his awkwardness, Ren Pengfei seemed very calm, and he would do everything he was asked to do. Apart from not flattering and keeping a straight face all day long, there was nothing wrong with what he did.
Nie Ying didn't think she was a bitter and mean person, but for some reason, he couldn't understand Ren Pengfei's easy-going attitude, and couldn't help blurting out: "The majestic city lord of Du'er City, for the sake of his younger brother, can bow down to men, but now for his daughter You can bear the shame and be willing to be a slave, Ren Pengfei, you impress me!"
Ren Pengfei was startled, and Nie Ying couldn't help feeling a little regretful when the movement of his hands stopped. At this moment, Ren Pengfei came back to his senses and said without raising his head: "I am no longer the city lord."
"What?" Nie Ying heard clearly, but couldn't understand.
"I am no longer the city lord." Ren Pengfei repeated calmly, "I wrote a letter and handed in a token, asking Cheng Fei to take over as the city lord. Everything I do now has nothing to do with Du'e City."
"What!" Nie Ying turned around in shock, the water in the tub splashed out of the tub, and Ren Pengfei, whose sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, backed away imperceptibly to prevent his clothes from being splashed by the water.
Nie Ying had an unbelievable expression on her face: "You gave up the position of city lord so easily?"
Ren Pengfei lowered his eyes, calmly said, "Isn't this exactly what you want?" You want him to have nothing, you want him to fall from the sky into the abyss, and you want him to suffer.
Looking at him speechlessly, Nie Ying sneered after a while.
He was so unbearable in his heart, Ren Pengfei thought that everything he did was for revenge, but he didn't believe or want to believe anything else.
But even he himself couldn't tell whether he hated Ren Pengfei more or cared more.Is everything that has been done so far really all about revenge?
Perhaps, it was his mother who could see his heart most clearly, so she would find a way to keep Ren Pengfei by his side.
Nie Ying realized that since it was her mother's hard work, why should he let her down?She once tried to please Ren Pengfei in every possible way, but she failed to make him look at her more.Since this path doesn't work, let's find another path.
Nie Ying leaned back against the wall of the barrel, resting her elbows on the edge of the barrel, stretched her feet out of the water and placed them in front of Ren Pengfei, with a smirk on her lips, she lazily ordered, "Wash my feet clean. "
Ren Pengfei was a little surprised by his sudden change, but soon came back to his senses, squeezed the cotton towel that he had originally used to wipe Nie Ying's back, and finally walked forward silently.
His task in Washington is to obey Nie Ying's orders, so Nie Ying asked him to bring wash water and prepare toiletries every day, change his clothes, comb his hair and wipe his back, etc. He did all the things that servants should do. Although Xiang Xijiao sounds annoying, Ren Pengfei still endured to do so. After all, one extra is not too much, and one is not too little. This is his second day in Washington, and the troubles behind him are probably all waiting in line Waiting for the turn.
If Nie Ying could read minds, she would be able to spurt out a mouthful of blood right now.It is said that he is deep, but he has only been in the world for more than a year after all, and he is said to be simple, how could Mrs. Hua's personal teaching have no effect at all?
But at this time, Nie Ying really didn't think about how to make things difficult for Ren Pengfei in the future. He is doing this now because he was forced to get a little angry by his attitude of refraining from oil and salt these two days. He just wanted to know his patience. What's more, Nie Ying is not an idler, there are so many things to do, how can she have the time to think about how to toss people all day long?
Of course, Ren Pengfei didn't know about this, his lips were pursed into a line, he soaked the cotton towel in the water expressionlessly, picked it up, and washed his toes one by one.
The clothes that Nie Ying wears are basically made by Mrs. Hua herself. Most of them are light-colored or white. Occasionally, there will be one or two dark-colored clothes. Mrs. Hua has excellent business skills and good eyesight. His skin made him look handsome and handsome, more like an unrestrained and personable young master.
However, when Nie Ying took off the clothes on her body, people with poor concentration would probably yell.The son who should have been white and flawless, has no complete flesh and blood, large and small scars all over the body, the deepest scar stretches from the shoulder blade to the right buttock and runs through the entire back, the ugly cracked scar tells the story of the past Fatal, in addition, there is a reptile-like scar on his right ankle that snakes to his knee, and the slight deformation of his right foot can only be seen after he takes off his clothes and stands upright.
If Ren Pengfei didn't understand the resentment towards Mrs. Hua on him before, when Nie Ying took off her clothes in front of him, he realized that he was not wronged. Mrs. Hua did not blame him, and only he knew. At the bottom of the valley, Nie Ying didn't have so many serious injuries.
Comparing your heart to your heart, what would happen to Ren Chengfei if he was hurt to this point?Just by imagining it, Ren Pengfei's hands trembled with heartache. Mrs. Hua was already calm and rational enough to deal with it. If he were Ren Pengfei, he would definitely make the other party's life worse than death...
At that time, Ren Pengfei really wanted to ask Nie Ying, does it hurt?However, Nie Ying first smiled lightly and said, isn't it ugly?
Then I was speechless.
Following every order of Nie Ying may not only be forced to help but also bring Ren Pengfei's subtle guilt.
While washing Nie Ying's feet, I inadvertently looked up, and happened to meet his lacquer-like eyes, and the owner of these eyes quickly looked away as if he had been caught doing something wrong, and looked elsewhere pretending to be calm. Cough to signal him to work faster.
While Ren Pengfei lowered his face, even he himself didn't know that the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised, just because the one who always liked to stare at him when his eyes loomed on the bottom of the valley, and was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he sneaked a glance or two before quickly moving away. open person.
Ren Pengfei moved to live at home as promised and stayed with Nie Ying. Madam Hua naturally did not break her promise. She invited a doctor to treat Qingqing that day. After taking Qingqing's pulse, the doctor asked curiously what medicine she had been taking all this time. To persist so far.Ren Pengfei handed over the prescription he had brought, and the doctor was equally amazed. After looking at it a few times, he said that some of the medicines in this prescription were used strangely, maybe the person who wrote the prescription used the wrong medicine.
The doctor deliberated for a long time, and based on this prescription, he wrote another prescription, changed several medicines and changed the prescription, and asked Ren Pengfei to grab the medicine and explain the method of medicine carefully.After taking the prescription, Ren Pengfei showed it to Aunt Ya first, and waited for her to confirm that there was nothing wrong before taking the medicine. Qingqing slept for a long time on the first day of taking the medicine, and Aunt Ya would carefully feed her every time she took the medicine.
Then Qingqing's sleep time became shorter and shorter. After drinking this medicine for more than a month, Qingqing's rest time was basically the same as that of ordinary people, and the number of seizures was also reduced.
It was also by accident that Ren Pengfei found out that the doctor Mrs. Hua had invited was an imperial physician who specialized in treating the royal family.
Mrs. Hua once said to invite the best doctor and use the best medicine. At that time, he thought it was just a casual remark, but now it seems that he has a villainous heart.
Regarding the fact that Qingqing also lived in the house, Nie Ying only said three words: "I heard that your daughter also lives in, how is she doing now?"
Ren Pengfei answered truthfully and briefly: "Not good."
"Is that why you've been absent-minded all day?"
Ren Pengfei said nothing.
"Then when she is in better health, you can follow me out of the house."
After he finished speaking, he left. Ren Pengfei was slightly surprised. Did he mean that he hoped that he could spend more time to take care of his daughter?
The person who thought he would try his best to make things difficult for him not only did not do so, but worried about his situation so that he could spend more time with his daughter.
I have to admit that in the first month in Washington, Ren Pengfei spent much more time taking care of his daughter than in the nearly eight months in Du'e City.
After his daughter's condition began to improve, Ren Pengfei officially started to serve as Nie Ying's bodyguard, and he really understood what Nie Ying was busy with on weekdays.
Mrs. Hua can afford the most famous doctor in the capital, so naturally she can also hire the most famous master, the most famous martial artist, the most famous piano player, and even the most famous businessman in the capital - Mrs. Hua.
Every morning, Mrs. Hua would bring Nie Ying to drink the soup she made herself, and then send him outside the door to watch him go to Cai Jing's place in a carriage.Cai Jing was already a well-known child prodigy at the age of seven, and he was still serving as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy until ancient times. It is the dream of scholars all over the world to worship him as a teacher, and his extremely strict conditions for accepting apprentices make scholars daunted. What method did Mrs. Hua use to make him accept Nie Ying as a disciple.
When Ren Pengfei found out about this, he was secretly surprised for a long time. At the beginning, because he knew Cai Jijiu's talent well, he wanted to ask him to take Ren Chengfei as his apprentice. In order to save face, he replied: Let the apprentice come over and accept the old man for a try before talking.
Ren Pengfei smiled wryly, and the matter was left alone.
In the test of Cai Jijiu, even the dignified No. [-] Scholar has had a bad nose, and his younger brother, who is alive and kicking, is fine.
When he knew that he was going to Cai Jing's residence with Nie Ying, Ren Pengfei was really curious and inquisitive. After a look, Cai Jijiu, who was said to be a master, looked like an ordinary old man. Deep and severe.
For Ren Pengfei who was beside Nie Ying, Cai Jing just glanced at him, and signaled Nie Ying to follow him into the study without saying a word. When Nie Ying came out, she was holding a book with the word "University" written on the cover.
Nie Ying told him that Cai Jing said when he would finish memorizing this book today and when would he be able to leave.
Ren Pengfei was shocked.Nie Ying went into another room and sat down, opened the book, and read it carefully without saying a word. After an hour or so, he finished turning the last page, rubbed his neck, and glanced at the person standing in front of him. Ren Pengfei got up and walked towards Cai Jijiu's study.
This is the end?
Ren Pengfei couldn't help following closely, but he didn't have the cheek to go in, but he still leaned against the edge of the open door, holding his breath and listening.
After a brief conversation in the room, Cai Jing suddenly heard: "What does a gentleman do?"
Nie Ying's slightly hoarse voice answered unhurriedly: "The "Poetry" says: Zhanbiqiao, green bamboo and Yiyi. There are bandits and gentlemen, who are like chopping like learning, like cutting like grinding. Xi. There are bandits and gentlemen, and you should never be disdainful! If you cut like a grinder, you can learn Taoism. If you cut like a grinder, you can cultivate yourself. If you are stingy, you can use chestnuts. If you are arrogant, you can be dignified. Gentlemen, those who should never be despised, have the highest morality and goodness, and the people will never forget it.”
"The way of great learning lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and ending in perfection..." Cai Jing didn't stop until he read "Everything has its origin and its end, and everything has its beginning and end. Knowing what's first and what's ahead is the shortest way."
Nie Ying went on to continue: "In ancient times, those who wished to manifest their virtues in the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first regulated their families; To rectify one's mind; to rectify one's mind, first to be sincere in one's mind; to be sincere in one's mind, first to extend one's knowledge. Extending knowledge lies in investigating things..."
Ren Pengfei had never memorized college, but when Cai Jing's satisfied voice came from the room, asking Nie Ying to go home and read "University" Enlightenment: The Way of University, he knew that it only took him an hour to read it once, so he read it all. The whole book was memorized.
When Nie Ying came out, Ren Pengfei paused for a moment before following them. After the two got into the carriage one after another, Nie Ying saw that his eyes were on the books in his hand, and handed them to him.
Ren Pengfei silently took it and opened it, only to realize that it was some rubbings of authentic calligraphy handed down from generation to generation.
"Master Cai said that my handwriting is not satisfactory, so let me go back and practice more."
Nie Ying leaned against a soft pillow, hugged one in her hand, stretched her slender legs, and lay down comfortably, smiling comfortably like a lazy cat.
There is only so much room for the carriage, and his long hands and feet almost covered a semicircle, so he couldn't help bumping into Ren Pengfei, who was not small and also took up a lot of space. Although he was too shrunk, his knees still touched Nie Ying's thighs. .There was a special warmth coming from the place where they touched, which made Ren Pengfei extremely uncomfortable, so he forced himself to shrink back and move his knees back a little bit.
With just a glance at him, Nie Ying unobtrusively bent her feet to give way to a large area.
"I think it's okay to write the words so that others can understand them. I really don't understand why you have to write so well." Nie Ying pulled the tassels embroidered on the side of the soft pillow, with a disapproving expression.
Ren Pengfei had never read his handwriting, so when he heard him say that, he naturally remembered Ren Chengfei's scrambling handwriting when he first learned to write. Seeing Nie Ying's unmotivated appearance, he couldn't help but say to him as a younger brother: "Keep improving. "
Smiling at him, Nie Ying hugged the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.
After Cai Jingna came out, the next one would be to inspect the accounts of the various stores established by the Hua family in the capital. This would not only help Nie Ying to grasp the family business more quickly, but also allow him to further understand the key points of doing business.
After her son came back, Mrs. Hua had the intention of retiring, and gradually handed over the family business to Nie Ying. She loved her child, but she didn't spoil her child too much. She just did what she should do.
The Hua family has set up no less than twenty shops in various parts of the capital, and they have to inspect each of them in one day. One can imagine how exhausting it is. Mrs. Hua always finds someone to do it, but tells her son to do it by himself. At this point, Ren Pengfei sighed and admired himself very much. If he could do the same, Ren Chengfei would not be what he is today.
At the end of the day, Nie Ying was indeed showing signs of fatigue, and her figure swayed slightly as she walked towards the carriage. Looking at his figure, Ren Pengfei was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he saw Nie Ying in Yueying Tower in Shuzhou, he walked like this. At that time, he thought he was too weak to drink. It turned out that his badly injured right foot was already slightly limping, which is not obvious at ordinary times. It will only appear after walking for a long time.
Taking another look at that slender figure, Ren Pengfei's heart stabbed slightly.
When he was screaming in pain at the bottom of the valley, he watched the ghost mother-in-law poison the bottom of the valley with his own eyes. After that, in the long silence of the valley bottom, how much pain did he endure?
How did he climb such a steep cliff, not to mention that the ghost mother-in-law would not let him come out easily. He had already climbed halfway, and was forced to fall to the bottom by the ghost mother-in-law. appearance?
Finally climbed up and caught up, he told him "I'm an idiot", he still remembered "Jiangnan is still far away", he remembered every word Ren Pengfei said...
If it is said that he couldn't see the pain of the past, then at the martial arts league that day, he saw him fall into the hands of the red-eyed martial arts people with his own eyes, and left again cruelly.
A piece of rough jade that should have been perfect had a painful crack, and he was the instigator.
In a tangled relationship, that child is the most innocent person. He should have had a happy childhood, but he was cruelly abused by the vengeful ghost mother-in-law, tortured into a foolish way, and then thrown into a valley full of poison Fend for itself.
If he didn't bring Ren Cheng to fly into the valley to seek medical treatment, that savage who should have been carefree would never know that there is another bigger, wider and scarier place outside, and he would not even think about crawling out. Open a pair of clear eyes and look at the misty sky above, just live like this, and then die at the bottom of the valley.
He didn't want to disturb anyone's life in the past, but others always forcibly inserted into his life to change his life. After disturbing the calm lake water, they left with high-sounding reasons.
He knew, clearly knew that at the bottom of the valley, he had already broken into the heart of that savage and became the only one in this savage's life.
In his own eyes, this relationship was just a deal, a shameful relationship, but in that big fool's heart, it was all, and he would give everything until death.
So he will jump up and down excitedly because of his small response, and will pick the fruit regardless of the danger because of his small request, and will keep every sentence and every word he said in his heart , and will desperately climb out of the valley just to see him...
So, when he knew that Nie Ying was behind the scenes eating away everything in Du'e City, apart from the shock at the beginning, he was very calm and calmly thought that this day had finally come.
He didn't blame Nie Ying, if he really had the ability to swallow Du'e City, it would only prove that Du'e City was exhausted.
I can repay any debt I owe, but there is no time to clear up the emotional debt after all.
If Nie Ying insists that he pay it back, he can pay with his life. If he wants to take Ren Chengfei and Qingqing to the knife, then he will never let him succeed even if he tries his best...
"Why are you still in a daze, get in the car!"
Nie Ying, who got into the carriage, saw that Ren Pengfei was still standing there, so she urged him with a fierce face.
Ren Pengfei looked at the posture of the old man who was all over the body, and he couldn't help but sighed "Feng Shui turns around" in his heart, and then walked towards the carriage.
When she returned to Washington, Mrs. Hua had been waiting in front of the door early, greeted Nie Ying and entered the courtyard. She kept asking for warmth along the way, and didn't even give Ren Pengfei a look, pretending that he didn't exist.
Mrs. Hua said, "Son, are you hungry? Mother has prepared some delicious food for you."
Nie Ying stopped, turned sideways and followed silently two or three steps away, Ren Pengfei said, "You go down first and come back after dinner."
After speaking, he left with his mother.Ren Pengfei stayed where he was for a while before walking in another direction.Back in the small remote courtyard, the dumb aunt was burning a small stove in the courtyard to boil medicine. She saw him nodding his head slightly and walking into the Qingshui room, and saw her leaning against the bed, holding a medical book and concentrating on reading it.
Ren Pengfei couldn't help laughing, and went forward to take the book in her hand, "If you're in good health, don't pay attention to rest, be careful when you're exhausted."
"Father!" Qingqing pursed her mouth, then laughed again, stretched out her arms and snuggled into his arms, took a deep breath, and his faint body odor filled her nostrils, making her very satisfied.
"Father, are you tired?"
Ren Pengfei gently touched her little head, and comforted her: "Father is not tired."
"Father, Qingqing has troubled you."
Feeling pain in his heart, Ren Pengfei couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her little cheek, and lightly reprimanded: "Next time you say something like this, be careful that daddy spanks your ass!"
Qingqing sticks out her tongue cutely, and throws herself back into her father's arms to act coquettishly, she finally looks like a child now.
Nie Ying took the hot cotton towel handed over by her mother, wiped her hands carefully before passing it to the maid beside her, and then took the clean hot cotton towel and spread it over her face, only then did she feel tired. I've lost my mind a little.
After covering it for a while, he wiped his face with his hands, and then wiped his hands again before letting the maid take it away.
Mrs. Hua smiled and put a cup of tonic soup in front of him, signaling him to drink this first.
"How, did that Ren Pengfei make trouble for you today?"
Nie Ying pursed her mouth childishly, opened the lid and sipped the soup one mouthful at a time: "Better than the most competent bodyguard..." Swallowing the hot soup in her mouth, her voice was a little disappointed, "But the majestic lord of the city is the bodyguard. It’s still a shame.”
"What talent is Qu!" Mrs. Hua disapproved, "Isn't he a master of martial arts, as a guard to protect you is the best use of everything."
As soon as she stopped drinking the soup and glanced at her mother, Nie Ying suddenly picked up the soup bowl and drank it down in a big gulp, seeing Mrs. Hua who was beside her with her heart in her throat, she kept telling him to slow down, it was hot!
After Nie Ying finished drinking, she showed the clean bottom of the bowl to her mother, laughing like a cat stealing fish, Mrs. Hua laughed and scolded him, so she had to give him a glare.
Not many people know about the loss of Ren Pengfei's internal energy so far. Although the reason he knew is not honorable, when thinking of Ren Pengfei not wanting to be treated by outsiders, Nie Ying doesn't even say a word to her own mother.
After eating and washing up briefly, Ren Pengfei asked someone to find out where Nie Ying was before heading towards the study.Entering the room with the light on, I saw him sitting at the desk and writing seriously.
Seeing him come in, Nie Ying finished writing the words in her hand before opening her mouth: "Can you grind ink?"
Ren Pengfei paused for a moment before saying, "Yes."
Nie Ying pointed to the inkstone on the desk. Ren Pengfei was a little helpless, but he still stepped forward to grind the ink.Don't look at him as the majestic lord of the city, he has really rubbed ink on people before, but that person is none other than Ren Chengfei, the most precious younger brother of the great city lord Ren Chengfei.In order to coax this naughty brother to spend more time on writing, this is not the only thing that the city lord condescends.
But obviously, Nie Ying didn't just ask City Lord Ren to grind the ink, wrote a few words, then put down the pen, looked left and right, with a dissatisfied expression on her face.Ren Pengfei couldn't help but look over, the few lines written on the paper did not seem to be very powerful, and the strokes lacked strength, but these all took time to develop.
In fact, if you look at such neat and clean strokes, you will be surprised to know that this talent has only learned calligraphy for less than a year.
At least Ren Pengfei admitted that he was not as good as Nie Ying in his first year of learning calligraphy.
Looking up, I saw Ren Pengfei reading his handwriting. Nie Ying's eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Ren Pengfei, please write a few words for me to read."
Ren Pengfei still didn't talk much this time, he did what he said, anyway, his handwriting was not embarrassing.So he stopped grinding the ink and took Nie Ying's pen that was full of ink and smoothed the tip of the pen, and wrote a line of words on the fine rice paper.
"Health preservation has its own destiny, but wisdom and strength."
After Nie Ying finished reading, she smiled lightly, stopped talking, held up this piece of paper and compared it with her own handwriting, and muttered: "Sure enough, the writing is not good, um, I need to practice more."
This practice lasted until the middle of the night, and Ren Pengfei didn't leave when he didn't yell. He watched the rice paper full of words piled up on the desk and scattered all over the ground, and saw that his handwriting changed from soft at first to firm. Fluency, when he finally stopped writing with satisfaction, he raised his head and saw Ren Pengfei who was still standing next to him, he was stunned: "Hey, are you still there?"
Ren Pengfei wanted to roll his eyes.
Nie Ying rubbed her wrist that was sore from writing for a long time, looked at the candle that had burned to a small extent, and said in a low voice: "Well, when I focus, I don't pay much attention to the things around me. I didn't mean to let you Those who are punished to stand here... well, go down and rest."
Ren Pengfei couldn't help but take another look at him. His current identity is just a servant of the Hua family, so why should he explain this to him?But he didn't say anything, and quietly withdrew.
Ren Pengfei came early the next day. He never thought that Nie Ying was earlier than him. Instead of the rich and luxurious attire of a rich man in the past, he was dressed in a clean and close-fitting outfit, and looked more like a knight traveling with a sword.
He said that for the next three days from today, he will get up early every day to go to the martial arts hall.It was only now that Ren Pengfei found out that Nie Ying went to Cai Jing every seven days. On the second day, she started to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall to strengthen her body. After three days, she went to learn the piano. On the free days, she would sleep late or Accompany Mrs. Hua to have breakfast.
The martial arts hall is not far from Washington, and it is only a short walk away. Unlike the quietness of Cai Jijiu's residence, the martial arts hall can be described as overcrowded.The reason why the martial arts business is so good is half because of the reputation of the martial arts master in the capital, and the other half is because of Nie Ying.
Less than half a month after Nie Ying entered the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, she defeated Master Lin, who was famous for his fists and kicks, and convinced him to lose.This incident was widely spread, and within a few days, people who came to see the excitement almost broke through the threshold of the martial arts hall. After seeing Nie Ying's demeanor, they all signed up for martial arts training, including Ren Pengfei had seen those sons and sons at the restaurant who made Nie Ying play the piano at the beginning and sat at the same table with him.
There are quite a few young masters who practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, and all of them are accompanied by guards, half of them are for training, and the other half are for showing off.These sons and fathers were spoiled and spoiled since they were young, and their kung fu as monks halfway is not much stronger, and they have a good face, if they can't compete with others, they will find someone to replace them. If the martial arts guards they bring can beat others, they will naturally have enough confidence.
Although Nie Ying is good at martial arts, she is also accompanied by guards. After all, rich people pay attention to ostentation. Today, I was a little curious to see that the guards he brought were not the usual ones. Looking at their own guards, they lost a lot in appearance first.
If they lose their looks, they want to make up for it from other places. What's more, if they can't beat Nie Ying, they can at least beat his guards.
It's just that Nie Ying changed her normal routine and didn't agree, so she asked Ren Pengfei to step aside, met the loudest booers and pushed them to the ground two or three times, crying again and again.
I never thought that what Nie Ying did would cause public anger. If she couldn't play alone, a group of people would push her up and push her down on the floor.In an instant, the supposedly solemn and solemn martial arts hall was full of laughter, cursing and fighting, and a group of adults tangled up like a seven or eight-year-old child, fighting and having a good time.
Ren Pengfei stood aside with the other guards and watched.Even if there is a mess, Nie Ying is still the most eye-catching one.The crown of hair was spread out, the placket of the clothes was opened, and a mouthful of white teeth was revealed in a grin. He laughed unrestrainedly, and the deep laughter pierced the silent heart.
Ren Pengfei had never seen him smile like this before, but for some reason he remembered that when he was at the bottom of the valley, he smiled shyly and heartily, and it was the same at that time, showing his flawless white teeth frankly.
The chaotic scene of fighting and fighting stopped when Master Lin heard the sound with a black face and shouted loudly.After all, Master Lin's identity as a boxing master was there, and he was full of majesty. After a while, all the young masters and brothers ran back to their original positions obediently with their heads shrunk.
Next, with Master Lin sitting in charge, the martial arts hall resumed its original order, but Nie Ying, as a disciple, was given special treatment and could compete with Master Lin on her own.
From Ren Pengfei's point of view, he felt that Master Lin was asking him for advice.An elder who is over half a hundred years old can humbly ask his juniors for advice. Apart from Nie Ying's admirable talent, what kind of courage should he have.
After coming out of the martial arts hall, Nie Ying was sweaty all over, but she looked extremely happy. On the way back, she swayed her arms and legs, walking more briskly than usual.
Indeed, if there is any unhappiness, after a lively fight, any dissatisfaction and gloom can be vented.
He practiced martial arts for three days, and on the fourth day, he went to learn the piano. Among the musicians who taught the piano, Nie Ying was not the only student, but Master Le Xi set up a special place for him to learn the piano quietly.
Later Nie Ying revealed to Ren Pengfei quietly that it was actually because he himself was too attractive. Knowing that he was learning piano here, the number of girls learning piano at Master's place soared. No one who came here was willing to study with peace of mind. Fan, always thinking of how to get his attention.
After all, Nie Ying shook her shoulders and laughed, with a flamboyant expression on her face.
Ren Pengfei watched from the sidelines for a long time before he realized that what he said was false, at least not the whole reason. In fact, Nie Ying made progress too fast and the other students couldn't keep up, so the musician set aside a special place to teach him how to play.
Nie Ying is very focused on everything she studies.
That day when he woke up from a hangover, he rubbed his aching head and staggered towards the tightly closed door. In the past, as long as there was a slight noise in his room, the clever servant girl would push the door open in time, hold the washbasin and hold the door. There are cotton towels, mouthwash, tea and breakfast, but today there is no movement for some reason.
When Nie Ying opened the door, she saw a tall figure with backlight outside. The sunlight hurt her eyes. She squinted her eyes and saw a scene that he will never forget. The person he misses day and night, Standing quietly outside his room door, with his back to the light, his face was solemn, like a serene but majestic god descended into the world.
As if it came out of nowhere at the beginning, just like that, he crashed into his heart that was originally calm and calm, creating a turbulent sea that could never stop.
Living in Washington with Ren Pengfei, apart from Qingqing who was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Jixu, there is also a dumb aunt who takes care of Qingqing more carefully than anyone else.Even though he didn't live in voluntarily, he had to bow his head under the eaves, not to mention that he was asking for others, so even if he was worried about living in Washington, Ren Pengfei still couldn't move in with his martial arts guards.
Originally, Mrs. Hua meant that he could only bring his daughter to live in. Later, adding a dumb girl was a special kindness.
Regarding living in Washington, Ren Pengfei didn't treat him as a guest, and Mrs. Hua didn't treat him as a guest, but asked the housekeeper to take him to a remote courtyard adjacent to the servant's residence.
The three huts in the overgrown courtyard were filled with thick dust. The steward brought them here, looked around, frowned slightly in disgust, and said sternly: "Guard Ren, this is where you will live in the future." If you need anything, just tell the old man, if you need help cleaning, the old man will call some people over for you.”
"No need." Ren Pengfei slightly bowed to the butler to salute, "Thank you, Ren, for your kindness, we can handle it."
"Then you guys clean up first, the old man has to go to work first."
"Go slowly, don't send."
The figure of the old housekeeper disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and Ren Pengfei glanced at the messy and dark hut again, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.
From this treatment, it became clear how much Mrs. Hua hated and annoyed him, and the reason was not difficult to guess.Ren Pengfei didn't pay much attention to these humiliations. After all, what kind of suffering did he never suffer from the ghost mother-in-law?Just bear it and it will pass.It's just that he doesn't know if the dumb aunt and daughter can adapt.
When Ren Peng flew to the dumb aunt's side, he found that she had started to clean the house silently with the sleeping Qingqing on her back.
Mrs. Hua only left one sentence as to what Ren Pengfei, who was living in Washington, would do.
So the next day, before the rooster crowed before dawn, Ren Pengfei got up early to ask about the courtyard where Nie Ying lived, and stood guard in front of his still closed door.
Ren Pengfei is very patient and has a solid foundation. Standing outside the house for an hour or two has no effect on him.When Nie Ying opened the door under the bright sunshine, the calm Ren Pengfei first smelled the faint smell of alcohol coming from the room, looked at the pale but still handsome face of the man in the door room, and fell silent under his shocked gaze. After half a cup of tea, he pursed his lips and called softly: "Master."
Mrs. Hua was sitting in the house at that time sorting a large box of clothes. These clothes, two pieces a year, each slightly larger and wider, began to sew from the day her son disappeared until the clothes The thick suitcase was packed tightly, and her son finally returned to her side.
When Nie Ying opened the door and entered, she saw her sitting among a pile of clothes carefully folding them. Seeing him, she smiled slightly: "My son is awake, have you eaten yet? Mommy, here is your favorite snack, hurry up." go eat."
"Mother." Nie Ying approached, sat cross-legged beside her, looked at her patronizingly without saying a word.
Mrs. Hua was still smiling, and caressed the clothes, big and small, one by one.
"Mom." Nie Ying called again.
"These clothes have been sewn since the year you left mother. Look, this is the first one. You were still a little girl at that time." Mrs. Hua pulled a piece of clothes, a small one, with different colors Simple yet childlike, the stitches are tight, and it can be seen how hard the sewing person is.
Afterwards, Mrs. Hua put the clothes one by one in front of Nie Ying with a calm face. When she looked at her son again, her eyes were filled with tears. Nie Ying dared not look at such a sad mother, but she couldn't look away. .
"You are back, mother is very happy, really. You are the only child of mother, mother did not have the opportunity to love you and take care of you before, now mother has to double make up for you. Don't ask mother why, and don't hesitate to shrink back, as long as you want As long as you can be happy, even if you let your mother go up the mountain of swords and down the mountain of fire Hainiang, she is willing."
What Nie Ying wanted to say, but no matter what it was, it was so weak and powerless in her mother's loving eyes.
Mrs. Hua wiped away her tears suddenly, resumed her usual smile, and took out the long moon-white silk gown that had just been sewn and handed it to him.
"Mother just made it, quick, put it on, let mother see if it fits well."
Nie Ying took it, and felt the smooth and soft feel of the fabric in her hand, she finally smiled and got up to put it on.
Ren Pengfei's sudden appearance surprised Nie Ying, and his humble attitude made him even more at a loss, and even felt a blow of disillusionment.When she heard the phrase "Young Master", Nie Ying almost ran away to her mother.If it wasn't for his mother's obstruction, how could Ren Pengfei appear at home? He came here to ask her why she did this.
He didn't ask in the end, because Mrs. Hua had already told him, and she did it because he thought so.
But Nie Ying still didn't quite adapt to such a status change. He never thought that Ren Pengfei would be inferior to others. Instead, he always needed to look up to him to curry favor with him, and tried every means to hope to be on an equal footing with him...
Different from his awkwardness, Ren Pengfei seemed very calm, and he would do everything he was asked to do. Apart from not flattering and keeping a straight face all day long, there was nothing wrong with what he did.
Nie Ying didn't think she was a bitter and mean person, but for some reason, he couldn't understand Ren Pengfei's easy-going attitude, and couldn't help blurting out: "The majestic city lord of Du'er City, for the sake of his younger brother, can bow down to men, but now for his daughter You can bear the shame and be willing to be a slave, Ren Pengfei, you impress me!"
Ren Pengfei was startled, and Nie Ying couldn't help feeling a little regretful when the movement of his hands stopped. At this moment, Ren Pengfei came back to his senses and said without raising his head: "I am no longer the city lord."
"What?" Nie Ying heard clearly, but couldn't understand.
"I am no longer the city lord." Ren Pengfei repeated calmly, "I wrote a letter and handed in a token, asking Cheng Fei to take over as the city lord. Everything I do now has nothing to do with Du'e City."
"What!" Nie Ying turned around in shock, the water in the tub splashed out of the tub, and Ren Pengfei, whose sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, backed away imperceptibly to prevent his clothes from being splashed by the water.
Nie Ying had an unbelievable expression on her face: "You gave up the position of city lord so easily?"
Ren Pengfei lowered his eyes, calmly said, "Isn't this exactly what you want?" You want him to have nothing, you want him to fall from the sky into the abyss, and you want him to suffer.
Looking at him speechlessly, Nie Ying sneered after a while.
He was so unbearable in his heart, Ren Pengfei thought that everything he did was for revenge, but he didn't believe or want to believe anything else.
But even he himself couldn't tell whether he hated Ren Pengfei more or cared more.Is everything that has been done so far really all about revenge?
Perhaps, it was his mother who could see his heart most clearly, so she would find a way to keep Ren Pengfei by his side.
Nie Ying realized that since it was her mother's hard work, why should he let her down?She once tried to please Ren Pengfei in every possible way, but she failed to make him look at her more.Since this path doesn't work, let's find another path.
Nie Ying leaned back against the wall of the barrel, resting her elbows on the edge of the barrel, stretched her feet out of the water and placed them in front of Ren Pengfei, with a smirk on her lips, she lazily ordered, "Wash my feet clean. "
Ren Pengfei was a little surprised by his sudden change, but soon came back to his senses, squeezed the cotton towel that he had originally used to wipe Nie Ying's back, and finally walked forward silently.
His task in Washington is to obey Nie Ying's orders, so Nie Ying asked him to bring wash water and prepare toiletries every day, change his clothes, comb his hair and wipe his back, etc. He did all the things that servants should do. Although Xiang Xijiao sounds annoying, Ren Pengfei still endured to do so. After all, one extra is not too much, and one is not too little. This is his second day in Washington, and the troubles behind him are probably all waiting in line Waiting for the turn.
If Nie Ying could read minds, she would be able to spurt out a mouthful of blood right now.It is said that he is deep, but he has only been in the world for more than a year after all, and he is said to be simple, how could Mrs. Hua's personal teaching have no effect at all?
But at this time, Nie Ying really didn't think about how to make things difficult for Ren Pengfei in the future. He is doing this now because he was forced to get a little angry by his attitude of refraining from oil and salt these two days. He just wanted to know his patience. What's more, Nie Ying is not an idler, there are so many things to do, how can she have the time to think about how to toss people all day long?
Of course, Ren Pengfei didn't know about this, his lips were pursed into a line, he soaked the cotton towel in the water expressionlessly, picked it up, and washed his toes one by one.
The clothes that Nie Ying wears are basically made by Mrs. Hua herself. Most of them are light-colored or white. Occasionally, there will be one or two dark-colored clothes. Mrs. Hua has excellent business skills and good eyesight. His skin made him look handsome and handsome, more like an unrestrained and personable young master.
However, when Nie Ying took off the clothes on her body, people with poor concentration would probably yell.The son who should have been white and flawless, has no complete flesh and blood, large and small scars all over the body, the deepest scar stretches from the shoulder blade to the right buttock and runs through the entire back, the ugly cracked scar tells the story of the past Fatal, in addition, there is a reptile-like scar on his right ankle that snakes to his knee, and the slight deformation of his right foot can only be seen after he takes off his clothes and stands upright.
If Ren Pengfei didn't understand the resentment towards Mrs. Hua on him before, when Nie Ying took off her clothes in front of him, he realized that he was not wronged. Mrs. Hua did not blame him, and only he knew. At the bottom of the valley, Nie Ying didn't have so many serious injuries.
Comparing your heart to your heart, what would happen to Ren Chengfei if he was hurt to this point?Just by imagining it, Ren Pengfei's hands trembled with heartache. Mrs. Hua was already calm and rational enough to deal with it. If he were Ren Pengfei, he would definitely make the other party's life worse than death...
At that time, Ren Pengfei really wanted to ask Nie Ying, does it hurt?However, Nie Ying first smiled lightly and said, isn't it ugly?
Then I was speechless.
Following every order of Nie Ying may not only be forced to help but also bring Ren Pengfei's subtle guilt.
While washing Nie Ying's feet, I inadvertently looked up, and happened to meet his lacquer-like eyes, and the owner of these eyes quickly looked away as if he had been caught doing something wrong, and looked elsewhere pretending to be calm. Cough to signal him to work faster.
While Ren Pengfei lowered his face, even he himself didn't know that the corners of his mouth were already slightly raised, just because the one who always liked to stare at him when his eyes loomed on the bottom of the valley, and was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he sneaked a glance or two before quickly moving away. open person.
Ren Pengfei moved to live at home as promised and stayed with Nie Ying. Madam Hua naturally did not break her promise. She invited a doctor to treat Qingqing that day. After taking Qingqing's pulse, the doctor asked curiously what medicine she had been taking all this time. To persist so far.Ren Pengfei handed over the prescription he had brought, and the doctor was equally amazed. After looking at it a few times, he said that some of the medicines in this prescription were used strangely, maybe the person who wrote the prescription used the wrong medicine.
The doctor deliberated for a long time, and based on this prescription, he wrote another prescription, changed several medicines and changed the prescription, and asked Ren Pengfei to grab the medicine and explain the method of medicine carefully.After taking the prescription, Ren Pengfei showed it to Aunt Ya first, and waited for her to confirm that there was nothing wrong before taking the medicine. Qingqing slept for a long time on the first day of taking the medicine, and Aunt Ya would carefully feed her every time she took the medicine.
Then Qingqing's sleep time became shorter and shorter. After drinking this medicine for more than a month, Qingqing's rest time was basically the same as that of ordinary people, and the number of seizures was also reduced.
It was also by accident that Ren Pengfei found out that the doctor Mrs. Hua had invited was an imperial physician who specialized in treating the royal family.
Mrs. Hua once said to invite the best doctor and use the best medicine. At that time, he thought it was just a casual remark, but now it seems that he has a villainous heart.
Regarding the fact that Qingqing also lived in the house, Nie Ying only said three words: "I heard that your daughter also lives in, how is she doing now?"
Ren Pengfei answered truthfully and briefly: "Not good."
"Is that why you've been absent-minded all day?"
Ren Pengfei said nothing.
"Then when she is in better health, you can follow me out of the house."
After he finished speaking, he left. Ren Pengfei was slightly surprised. Did he mean that he hoped that he could spend more time to take care of his daughter?
The person who thought he would try his best to make things difficult for him not only did not do so, but worried about his situation so that he could spend more time with his daughter.
I have to admit that in the first month in Washington, Ren Pengfei spent much more time taking care of his daughter than in the nearly eight months in Du'e City.
After his daughter's condition began to improve, Ren Pengfei officially started to serve as Nie Ying's bodyguard, and he really understood what Nie Ying was busy with on weekdays.
Mrs. Hua can afford the most famous doctor in the capital, so naturally she can also hire the most famous master, the most famous martial artist, the most famous piano player, and even the most famous businessman in the capital - Mrs. Hua.
Every morning, Mrs. Hua would bring Nie Ying to drink the soup she made herself, and then send him outside the door to watch him go to Cai Jing's place in a carriage.Cai Jing was already a well-known child prodigy at the age of seven, and he was still serving as a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy until ancient times. It is the dream of scholars all over the world to worship him as a teacher, and his extremely strict conditions for accepting apprentices make scholars daunted. What method did Mrs. Hua use to make him accept Nie Ying as a disciple.
When Ren Pengfei found out about this, he was secretly surprised for a long time. At the beginning, because he knew Cai Jijiu's talent well, he wanted to ask him to take Ren Chengfei as his apprentice. In order to save face, he replied: Let the apprentice come over and accept the old man for a try before talking.
Ren Pengfei smiled wryly, and the matter was left alone.
In the test of Cai Jijiu, even the dignified No. [-] Scholar has had a bad nose, and his younger brother, who is alive and kicking, is fine.
When he knew that he was going to Cai Jing's residence with Nie Ying, Ren Pengfei was really curious and inquisitive. After a look, Cai Jijiu, who was said to be a master, looked like an ordinary old man. Deep and severe.
For Ren Pengfei who was beside Nie Ying, Cai Jing just glanced at him, and signaled Nie Ying to follow him into the study without saying a word. When Nie Ying came out, she was holding a book with the word "University" written on the cover.
Nie Ying told him that Cai Jing said when he would finish memorizing this book today and when would he be able to leave.
Ren Pengfei was shocked.Nie Ying went into another room and sat down, opened the book, and read it carefully without saying a word. After an hour or so, he finished turning the last page, rubbed his neck, and glanced at the person standing in front of him. Ren Pengfei got up and walked towards Cai Jijiu's study.
This is the end?
Ren Pengfei couldn't help following closely, but he didn't have the cheek to go in, but he still leaned against the edge of the open door, holding his breath and listening.
After a brief conversation in the room, Cai Jing suddenly heard: "What does a gentleman do?"
Nie Ying's slightly hoarse voice answered unhurriedly: "The "Poetry" says: Zhanbiqiao, green bamboo and Yiyi. There are bandits and gentlemen, who are like chopping like learning, like cutting like grinding. Xi. There are bandits and gentlemen, and you should never be disdainful! If you cut like a grinder, you can learn Taoism. If you cut like a grinder, you can cultivate yourself. If you are stingy, you can use chestnuts. If you are arrogant, you can be dignified. Gentlemen, those who should never be despised, have the highest morality and goodness, and the people will never forget it.”
"The way of great learning lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and ending in perfection..." Cai Jing didn't stop until he read "Everything has its origin and its end, and everything has its beginning and end. Knowing what's first and what's ahead is the shortest way."
Nie Ying went on to continue: "In ancient times, those who wished to manifest their virtues in the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first regulated their families; To rectify one's mind; to rectify one's mind, first to be sincere in one's mind; to be sincere in one's mind, first to extend one's knowledge. Extending knowledge lies in investigating things..."
Ren Pengfei had never memorized college, but when Cai Jing's satisfied voice came from the room, asking Nie Ying to go home and read "University" Enlightenment: The Way of University, he knew that it only took him an hour to read it once, so he read it all. The whole book was memorized.
When Nie Ying came out, Ren Pengfei paused for a moment before following them. After the two got into the carriage one after another, Nie Ying saw that his eyes were on the books in his hand, and handed them to him.
Ren Pengfei silently took it and opened it, only to realize that it was some rubbings of authentic calligraphy handed down from generation to generation.
"Master Cai said that my handwriting is not satisfactory, so let me go back and practice more."
Nie Ying leaned against a soft pillow, hugged one in her hand, stretched her slender legs, and lay down comfortably, smiling comfortably like a lazy cat.
There is only so much room for the carriage, and his long hands and feet almost covered a semicircle, so he couldn't help bumping into Ren Pengfei, who was not small and also took up a lot of space. Although he was too shrunk, his knees still touched Nie Ying's thighs. .There was a special warmth coming from the place where they touched, which made Ren Pengfei extremely uncomfortable, so he forced himself to shrink back and move his knees back a little bit.
With just a glance at him, Nie Ying unobtrusively bent her feet to give way to a large area.
"I think it's okay to write the words so that others can understand them. I really don't understand why you have to write so well." Nie Ying pulled the tassels embroidered on the side of the soft pillow, with a disapproving expression.
Ren Pengfei had never read his handwriting, so when he heard him say that, he naturally remembered Ren Chengfei's scrambling handwriting when he first learned to write. Seeing Nie Ying's unmotivated appearance, he couldn't help but say to him as a younger brother: "Keep improving. "
Smiling at him, Nie Ying hugged the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.
After Cai Jingna came out, the next one would be to inspect the accounts of the various stores established by the Hua family in the capital. This would not only help Nie Ying to grasp the family business more quickly, but also allow him to further understand the key points of doing business.
After her son came back, Mrs. Hua had the intention of retiring, and gradually handed over the family business to Nie Ying. She loved her child, but she didn't spoil her child too much. She just did what she should do.
The Hua family has set up no less than twenty shops in various parts of the capital, and they have to inspect each of them in one day. One can imagine how exhausting it is. Mrs. Hua always finds someone to do it, but tells her son to do it by himself. At this point, Ren Pengfei sighed and admired himself very much. If he could do the same, Ren Chengfei would not be what he is today.
At the end of the day, Nie Ying was indeed showing signs of fatigue, and her figure swayed slightly as she walked towards the carriage. Looking at his figure, Ren Pengfei was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he saw Nie Ying in Yueying Tower in Shuzhou, he walked like this. At that time, he thought he was too weak to drink. It turned out that his badly injured right foot was already slightly limping, which is not obvious at ordinary times. It will only appear after walking for a long time.
Taking another look at that slender figure, Ren Pengfei's heart stabbed slightly.
When he was screaming in pain at the bottom of the valley, he watched the ghost mother-in-law poison the bottom of the valley with his own eyes. After that, in the long silence of the valley bottom, how much pain did he endure?
How did he climb such a steep cliff, not to mention that the ghost mother-in-law would not let him come out easily. He had already climbed halfway, and was forced to fall to the bottom by the ghost mother-in-law. appearance?
Finally climbed up and caught up, he told him "I'm an idiot", he still remembered "Jiangnan is still far away", he remembered every word Ren Pengfei said...
If it is said that he couldn't see the pain of the past, then at the martial arts league that day, he saw him fall into the hands of the red-eyed martial arts people with his own eyes, and left again cruelly.
A piece of rough jade that should have been perfect had a painful crack, and he was the instigator.
In a tangled relationship, that child is the most innocent person. He should have had a happy childhood, but he was cruelly abused by the vengeful ghost mother-in-law, tortured into a foolish way, and then thrown into a valley full of poison Fend for itself.
If he didn't bring Ren Cheng to fly into the valley to seek medical treatment, that savage who should have been carefree would never know that there is another bigger, wider and scarier place outside, and he would not even think about crawling out. Open a pair of clear eyes and look at the misty sky above, just live like this, and then die at the bottom of the valley.
He didn't want to disturb anyone's life in the past, but others always forcibly inserted into his life to change his life. After disturbing the calm lake water, they left with high-sounding reasons.
He knew, clearly knew that at the bottom of the valley, he had already broken into the heart of that savage and became the only one in this savage's life.
In his own eyes, this relationship was just a deal, a shameful relationship, but in that big fool's heart, it was all, and he would give everything until death.
So he will jump up and down excitedly because of his small response, and will pick the fruit regardless of the danger because of his small request, and will keep every sentence and every word he said in his heart , and will desperately climb out of the valley just to see him...
So, when he knew that Nie Ying was behind the scenes eating away everything in Du'e City, apart from the shock at the beginning, he was very calm and calmly thought that this day had finally come.
He didn't blame Nie Ying, if he really had the ability to swallow Du'e City, it would only prove that Du'e City was exhausted.
I can repay any debt I owe, but there is no time to clear up the emotional debt after all.
If Nie Ying insists that he pay it back, he can pay with his life. If he wants to take Ren Chengfei and Qingqing to the knife, then he will never let him succeed even if he tries his best...
"Why are you still in a daze, get in the car!"
Nie Ying, who got into the carriage, saw that Ren Pengfei was still standing there, so she urged him with a fierce face.
Ren Pengfei looked at the posture of the old man who was all over the body, and he couldn't help but sighed "Feng Shui turns around" in his heart, and then walked towards the carriage.
When she returned to Washington, Mrs. Hua had been waiting in front of the door early, greeted Nie Ying and entered the courtyard. She kept asking for warmth along the way, and didn't even give Ren Pengfei a look, pretending that he didn't exist.
Mrs. Hua said, "Son, are you hungry? Mother has prepared some delicious food for you."
Nie Ying stopped, turned sideways and followed silently two or three steps away, Ren Pengfei said, "You go down first and come back after dinner."
After speaking, he left with his mother.Ren Pengfei stayed where he was for a while before walking in another direction.Back in the small remote courtyard, the dumb aunt was burning a small stove in the courtyard to boil medicine. She saw him nodding his head slightly and walking into the Qingshui room, and saw her leaning against the bed, holding a medical book and concentrating on reading it.
Ren Pengfei couldn't help laughing, and went forward to take the book in her hand, "If you're in good health, don't pay attention to rest, be careful when you're exhausted."
"Father!" Qingqing pursed her mouth, then laughed again, stretched out her arms and snuggled into his arms, took a deep breath, and his faint body odor filled her nostrils, making her very satisfied.
"Father, are you tired?"
Ren Pengfei gently touched her little head, and comforted her: "Father is not tired."
"Father, Qingqing has troubled you."
Feeling pain in his heart, Ren Pengfei couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her little cheek, and lightly reprimanded: "Next time you say something like this, be careful that daddy spanks your ass!"
Qingqing sticks out her tongue cutely, and throws herself back into her father's arms to act coquettishly, she finally looks like a child now.
Nie Ying took the hot cotton towel handed over by her mother, wiped her hands carefully before passing it to the maid beside her, and then took the clean hot cotton towel and spread it over her face, only then did she feel tired. I've lost my mind a little.
After covering it for a while, he wiped his face with his hands, and then wiped his hands again before letting the maid take it away.
Mrs. Hua smiled and put a cup of tonic soup in front of him, signaling him to drink this first.
"How, did that Ren Pengfei make trouble for you today?"
Nie Ying pursed her mouth childishly, opened the lid and sipped the soup one mouthful at a time: "Better than the most competent bodyguard..." Swallowing the hot soup in her mouth, her voice was a little disappointed, "But the majestic lord of the city is the bodyguard. It’s still a shame.”
"What talent is Qu!" Mrs. Hua disapproved, "Isn't he a master of martial arts, as a guard to protect you is the best use of everything."
As soon as she stopped drinking the soup and glanced at her mother, Nie Ying suddenly picked up the soup bowl and drank it down in a big gulp, seeing Mrs. Hua who was beside her with her heart in her throat, she kept telling him to slow down, it was hot!
After Nie Ying finished drinking, she showed the clean bottom of the bowl to her mother, laughing like a cat stealing fish, Mrs. Hua laughed and scolded him, so she had to give him a glare.
Not many people know about the loss of Ren Pengfei's internal energy so far. Although the reason he knew is not honorable, when thinking of Ren Pengfei not wanting to be treated by outsiders, Nie Ying doesn't even say a word to her own mother.
After eating and washing up briefly, Ren Pengfei asked someone to find out where Nie Ying was before heading towards the study.Entering the room with the light on, I saw him sitting at the desk and writing seriously.
Seeing him come in, Nie Ying finished writing the words in her hand before opening her mouth: "Can you grind ink?"
Ren Pengfei paused for a moment before saying, "Yes."
Nie Ying pointed to the inkstone on the desk. Ren Pengfei was a little helpless, but he still stepped forward to grind the ink.Don't look at him as the majestic lord of the city, he has really rubbed ink on people before, but that person is none other than Ren Chengfei, the most precious younger brother of the great city lord Ren Chengfei.In order to coax this naughty brother to spend more time on writing, this is not the only thing that the city lord condescends.
But obviously, Nie Ying didn't just ask City Lord Ren to grind the ink, wrote a few words, then put down the pen, looked left and right, with a dissatisfied expression on her face.Ren Pengfei couldn't help but look over, the few lines written on the paper did not seem to be very powerful, and the strokes lacked strength, but these all took time to develop.
In fact, if you look at such neat and clean strokes, you will be surprised to know that this talent has only learned calligraphy for less than a year.
At least Ren Pengfei admitted that he was not as good as Nie Ying in his first year of learning calligraphy.
Looking up, I saw Ren Pengfei reading his handwriting. Nie Ying's eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Ren Pengfei, please write a few words for me to read."
Ren Pengfei still didn't talk much this time, he did what he said, anyway, his handwriting was not embarrassing.So he stopped grinding the ink and took Nie Ying's pen that was full of ink and smoothed the tip of the pen, and wrote a line of words on the fine rice paper.
"Health preservation has its own destiny, but wisdom and strength."
After Nie Ying finished reading, she smiled lightly, stopped talking, held up this piece of paper and compared it with her own handwriting, and muttered: "Sure enough, the writing is not good, um, I need to practice more."
This practice lasted until the middle of the night, and Ren Pengfei didn't leave when he didn't yell. He watched the rice paper full of words piled up on the desk and scattered all over the ground, and saw that his handwriting changed from soft at first to firm. Fluency, when he finally stopped writing with satisfaction, he raised his head and saw Ren Pengfei who was still standing next to him, he was stunned: "Hey, are you still there?"
Ren Pengfei wanted to roll his eyes.
Nie Ying rubbed her wrist that was sore from writing for a long time, looked at the candle that had burned to a small extent, and said in a low voice: "Well, when I focus, I don't pay much attention to the things around me. I didn't mean to let you Those who are punished to stand here... well, go down and rest."
Ren Pengfei couldn't help but take another look at him. His current identity is just a servant of the Hua family, so why should he explain this to him?But he didn't say anything, and quietly withdrew.
Ren Pengfei came early the next day. He never thought that Nie Ying was earlier than him. Instead of the rich and luxurious attire of a rich man in the past, he was dressed in a clean and close-fitting outfit, and looked more like a knight traveling with a sword.
He said that for the next three days from today, he will get up early every day to go to the martial arts hall.It was only now that Ren Pengfei found out that Nie Ying went to Cai Jing every seven days. On the second day, she started to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall to strengthen her body. After three days, she went to learn the piano. On the free days, she would sleep late or Accompany Mrs. Hua to have breakfast.
The martial arts hall is not far from Washington, and it is only a short walk away. Unlike the quietness of Cai Jijiu's residence, the martial arts hall can be described as overcrowded.The reason why the martial arts business is so good is half because of the reputation of the martial arts master in the capital, and the other half is because of Nie Ying.
Less than half a month after Nie Ying entered the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, she defeated Master Lin, who was famous for his fists and kicks, and convinced him to lose.This incident was widely spread, and within a few days, people who came to see the excitement almost broke through the threshold of the martial arts hall. After seeing Nie Ying's demeanor, they all signed up for martial arts training, including Ren Pengfei had seen those sons and sons at the restaurant who made Nie Ying play the piano at the beginning and sat at the same table with him.
There are quite a few young masters who practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, and all of them are accompanied by guards, half of them are for training, and the other half are for showing off.These sons and fathers were spoiled and spoiled since they were young, and their kung fu as monks halfway is not much stronger, and they have a good face, if they can't compete with others, they will find someone to replace them. If the martial arts guards they bring can beat others, they will naturally have enough confidence.
Although Nie Ying is good at martial arts, she is also accompanied by guards. After all, rich people pay attention to ostentation. Today, I was a little curious to see that the guards he brought were not the usual ones. Looking at their own guards, they lost a lot in appearance first.
If they lose their looks, they want to make up for it from other places. What's more, if they can't beat Nie Ying, they can at least beat his guards.
It's just that Nie Ying changed her normal routine and didn't agree, so she asked Ren Pengfei to step aside, met the loudest booers and pushed them to the ground two or three times, crying again and again.
I never thought that what Nie Ying did would cause public anger. If she couldn't play alone, a group of people would push her up and push her down on the floor.In an instant, the supposedly solemn and solemn martial arts hall was full of laughter, cursing and fighting, and a group of adults tangled up like a seven or eight-year-old child, fighting and having a good time.
Ren Pengfei stood aside with the other guards and watched.Even if there is a mess, Nie Ying is still the most eye-catching one.The crown of hair was spread out, the placket of the clothes was opened, and a mouthful of white teeth was revealed in a grin. He laughed unrestrainedly, and the deep laughter pierced the silent heart.
Ren Pengfei had never seen him smile like this before, but for some reason he remembered that when he was at the bottom of the valley, he smiled shyly and heartily, and it was the same at that time, showing his flawless white teeth frankly.
The chaotic scene of fighting and fighting stopped when Master Lin heard the sound with a black face and shouted loudly.After all, Master Lin's identity as a boxing master was there, and he was full of majesty. After a while, all the young masters and brothers ran back to their original positions obediently with their heads shrunk.
Next, with Master Lin sitting in charge, the martial arts hall resumed its original order, but Nie Ying, as a disciple, was given special treatment and could compete with Master Lin on her own.
From Ren Pengfei's point of view, he felt that Master Lin was asking him for advice.An elder who is over half a hundred years old can humbly ask his juniors for advice. Apart from Nie Ying's admirable talent, what kind of courage should he have.
After coming out of the martial arts hall, Nie Ying was sweaty all over, but she looked extremely happy. On the way back, she swayed her arms and legs, walking more briskly than usual.
Indeed, if there is any unhappiness, after a lively fight, any dissatisfaction and gloom can be vented.
He practiced martial arts for three days, and on the fourth day, he went to learn the piano. Among the musicians who taught the piano, Nie Ying was not the only student, but Master Le Xi set up a special place for him to learn the piano quietly.
Later Nie Ying revealed to Ren Pengfei quietly that it was actually because he himself was too attractive. Knowing that he was learning piano here, the number of girls learning piano at Master's place soared. No one who came here was willing to study with peace of mind. Fan, always thinking of how to get his attention.
After all, Nie Ying shook her shoulders and laughed, with a flamboyant expression on her face.
Ren Pengfei watched from the sidelines for a long time before he realized that what he said was false, at least not the whole reason. In fact, Nie Ying made progress too fast and the other students couldn't keep up, so the musician set aside a special place to teach him how to play.
Nie Ying is very focused on everything she studies.
