Chapter 183: The source of Ruyi was found
Chapter 183 The source of Ruyi was found
The mad scholar shook his head.
"Such a small thing, no matter how hard you work as a teacher, you will be able to do it."
“But that group of people just laughed at us, and if we go back and ask for help, we will be less ambitious than others, which is not advisable.”
Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and felt that what he said made sense.
“Master is right, then you should be careful.”
The crazy scholar sighed: "It's because the teacher is incompetent and can only read."
He grew up in a wealthy family and was familiar with the books of sages. However, because of the saying that a gentleman cooks far away, he had never cooked.
In the past, at home, we were served by servants.
Now it is a bit difficult for him to take care of Shen Ningning.
Perhaps seeing his sadness, Shen Ningning swayed her little feet to bask in the sun.
Her tone was soft and innocent, with a hint of kindness: "Master, this is very good. Why do you have to be omnipotent? Everyone has shortcomings and goals."
Crazy Master thinks she has a good attitude and talks like a little adult.
He raised his head and asked with a smile: "Does Ning Ning have any shortcomings?"
“Yes!” Shen Ningning nodded without thinking.
She looked down at her swaying little feet, and her voice sounded calm: "Ning Ning has had no parents since she was a child, and she was laughed at as a little orphan. This is her shortcoming."
The mad master was startled.
However, without his comfort, Shen Ningning raised her little head and smiled with a strong and cute smile.
“So my goal is to find my parents, so that my shortcomings will disappear!”
“There is no shame in having shortcomings. After all, how many people in the world can read better than the Master?”
Not everyone can have a fairyland, this is Ning Ning’s little pride!
The crazy scholar stared blankly at the little guy in front of him. How could a child who was nearly five years old have such a penetrating mind?
It’s really smart.
“I learned a lesson from you today, my teacher.”
“Master, can you bake the fish quickly? My mouth is watering!”
In the dense woods, the laughter of the teacher and the student could be heard.
The fragrant fish meat is sprinkled with a little fine salt, and the grilled fish skin is rolled up and sizzling with oil. The white and tender fish meat is extremely tender.
Shen Ningning found two large lotus leaves, washed them and put the fish on them.
The crazy scholar kept the fish head and tail for himself, and the most fragrant fish body part for Shen Ningning.
The little guy's mouth was greasy after eating, and he squinted his eyes and sighed: "Master is so kind to me. When I am admitted to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, I will repay Master for your teachings!"
"I would also like to tell you that the reason why I was able to pass the exam is because the Master taught me carefully."
The crazy scholar paused, raised his head, and smiled faintly: "I understand your intention, but don't mention knowing me after you enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
“Otherwise, it may get you into trouble.”
Shen Ningning was surprised: "Why? Does Master have enemies in the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
The mad scholar smiled helplessly, shook his head and said nothing.
Shen Ningning licked her pink lips like a disgraced kitten.
“Master, don’t be afraid. When I grow up and become a powerful adult, I will support you!”
The crazy scholar quickly waved his hands to persuade her not to do this.
“Ning Ning, I teach you to read as a teacher, so that you can understand things and get out of this mountain to see the vast world.”
“You have your own life, don’t be burdened with my past, I don’t want that either.”
The little guy pouted, very puzzled.
Who is her husband afraid of?
At dusk, the sky is filled with colorful clouds, creating a splendid beauty.
Shen Ningning's belly was round and she felt sleepy after playing all afternoon.
On the road illuminated by the setting sun, Madam Madam was carrying her on his back and holding a fish basket in one hand, walking towards home.
The little guy on his back was already squinting sleepily.
“Master, will there be a teacher as good as you in the Chinese Academy of Sciences?” the little guy suddenly asked, his voice sleepy, as if he was about to fall asleep.
“Yes, there are world-renowned teachers there, and they will give you better teachings.”
As he spoke, the crazy scholar laughed and looked at the sunset. His handsome and thin cheeks were full of hope.
"In the future, when you have a famous teacher, just don't forget to be a teacher." "No," the little guy said, trying hard. Suddenly, she asked again: "Master, I don't know what your name is yet. Everyone calls you crazy." Scholar, who were you before?"
The crazy scholar looked at the sunset and his smile faded.
Yeah, who was he before? For several years, he didn't even dare to pick up the original name.
The distant, as if it happened a lifetime ago, the cries of his relatives are still in his ears, making his name the last curse he can mention.
But, when Shen Ningning asked, he suddenly wanted to say it.
“My surname is Dai, Dai Yuheng.”
A gentleman is like Heng, and his feathers and clothes shine brightly.
Now that I talk about this name again, the memories of the past come rushing to my face like gorgeous confetti.
He was once a noble son from a well-known family in Beijing, and he was lively and cheerful by virtue of his talent.
He was once very proud and was a guest at the emperor's table.
He also took the imperial examination, and won three prizes in a row when he was sixteen. It was like stepping on the power of a blue cloud, and his reputation skyrocketed.
All the golden palaces and the voices of laughter and praise in the past are like a gorgeous dream, slowly dissipating.
In the end, it only became a little orange-red like the setting sun in the distance.
The mad scholar smiled and said: "But Dai Yuheng is in the past, and I prefer the name mad scholar now."
Before, he felt that he was so down and out that there was nothing to be happy about in the world.
Now I am very happy because I have a student.
At least the books he has read, what he has learned, and his interpretation of knowledge can finally be handed over to someone to pass on for him.
Even if Dai Yuheng dies one day, the knowledge he taught the little guy will live on for him.
Shen Ningning was already asleep on her back.
The little guy is playing with great interest, but he is really sleepy at the moment.
“Go to sleep, tomorrow will be a good day with the sun shining brightly.”
The mad scholar looked back at the little guy lying on his shoulder. The sunlight reflected his profile, making his green stubble appear more gentle and elegant.
…
The weather was fine, and Mo Lingwei took Shen Ningning to a jewelry shop in the city.
"After I returned home, I sent someone to check. Concubine Rong's parents are indeed her daughter."
"However, after I returned home, I copied the lotus pattern on your Ruyi and asked the craftsmen in the palace. They said it was the carving technique of an old palace servant who had left the palace."
“After the old palace man left the palace, he set up a silver shop in the capital. He mainly made a living by carving jewelry from silver. I already know the location and will take you there now.”
Mo Lingwei was dressed in a navy blue robe, with a jade crown tied into a ponytail. His eyebrows were cold and dark, and his thin, dark eyes were extremely deep.
But when he looked at Shen Ningning, his eyes were obviously gentle.
The little guy was very happy to hear this, and even more surprised: "Brother, can you remember the lotus pattern after seeing it once? You can actually draw it, it's really amazing."
Every time Shen Ningning praised him, Mo Lingwei felt that it was helpful.
He chuckled: "I can do more than that. You will know later."
As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of Yinlou.
Shen Ningning discovered that it was the shop where she bought the concentric lock last time.
After entering, there were no guests, and Mo Lingwei's bodyguard directly booked the place.
The shopkeeper is a man over forty years old. When he saw this posture, he immediately stood up to greet him.
“Two gentlemen, what do you need?”
Mo Lingwei handed over the piece of Ruyi given by Concubine Rong.
“Look, do you recognize the craftsmanship on this?”
The shopkeeper took it with his hands, took a closer look, and immediately said: "I recognize it. The lotus pattern with intertwined flowers is clearly carved by my master. There are not many people in the whole capital who can be so skilled."
Shen Ningning was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Uncle shopkeeper, is your master here? I want to ask who asked him to carve it."
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically: "What a coincidence, my master passed away three years ago."
Shen Ningning's face suddenly showed disappointment and frustration.
However, the shopkeeper said: "However, I have a pattern album here. My master will draw it before carving the pattern, so that I can learn to imitate it in the future."
"Wait a minute, I'll find it right now. It usually has the name and address of the previous customer. Maybe it can help you two nobles."
