After the Lantern Festival, the dense visits and social gatherings lessened considerably, and the everyday common sense surrounding everyone began to emerge from the fervent atmosphere of the New Year, developing back into ordinary life.

The speed at which the poem "Green Jade Table" spread was immeasurable. In any case, after a few days, people began discussing it again in teahouses and taverns. Regarding Ning Yi, there were more discussions confirming his talent and speculating about why he had become an adopted son-in-law. By this time, no one was saying that he was plagiarizing or stealing lyrics. Some people seemed to be bestowing the praise of "Jiangning's Number One Talent" upon him. Of course, most people said that this person had a strange temper, relied on his talent and was arrogant, wasting his talent, the labels condensed into the so-called mad scholar.

Taking a risky approach can solve problems, but there will definitely be side effects. However, Ning Yi was originally expecting such side effects. After that, people's probing and other things can basically stop. He can also teach with peace of mind, and study chemistry in his spare time. Recently, he has ordered a batch of porcelain bottles as test tubes, which can be used to review simple chemical reactions.

What's more interesting is that he still went out for a run on the morning of the sixteenth, and met Nie Yunzhu waiting for him at the entrance of the small building. Upon seeing him, she gracefully curtsied: "Greetings, Ning, the great talent." It felt like a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. Ning Yi nodded, "Hello, little girl." Nie Yunzhu blushed instantly, took a half step back, her face seemed to be on fire, her big eyes darted around, looking at Ning Yi and then quickly looking elsewhere, a little lost.

"How, how can Young Master Ning say such a thing..."

"Oh? You just said, 'Greetings, Ning, the great talent'... Shouldn't I respond like this?"

"How can you! Young Master Ning should say... should say... say..." She stood there at a loss for a long time, and then "pfft" she laughed, "In short, it's too frivolous..."

After this little episode, Nie Yunzhu no longer mentioned his identity as a great talent, and was able to chat with him as usual. Of course, she was still very interested in asking about the situation at the poetry gathering last night, the behavior of the people, and so on. When she learned that Qilan was also there, she asked with a smile about the other party's reaction: "That Miss Qilan is said to be very good at poetry and prose, has she been impressed by Young Master Ning's poetic talent?"

"She should be impressed, right? This young master has several floors of talent, what else can she do but be impressed... don't you think?" Ning Yi was busy observing the female assassin and didn't know how Miss Qilan was. After thinking about it, he perfunctorily replied. Nie Yunzhu laughed: "Young master is absolutely right."

"I also think what I said is absolutely right..." Ning Yi smiled and stood up, "I'm leaving, I still have a section to run."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The sky in winter dawns late. At this time, the entire sky is still a gray color. In the small building, a bean-like lamp flickers. Nie Yunzhu stands in front of the building and watches him leave, her eyes still full of smiles. The weather is still cold. After Ning Yi's figure completely disappeared into the gray, she looked up at the sky, smiled and exhaled a white mist, rubbed her palms, and turned to walk back up the steps.

Surely today will be a good day.

A few days later, he met Kang Xian in the street. The old man was sitting in a sedan chair and didn't know where he was going. The eight-bearer sedan chair, plus the fixed four servants, was a grand sight. Seeing Ning Yi, he stopped in front of the road and intercepted him. Kang Xian gave a few instructions, and let the sedan chair follow behind: "A disgrace to scholarship!"

"Happy New Year, Elder Kang... Did I do something outrageous again?"

"I search for her in the crowd a thousand times, then suddenly turning around, I find her where the lanterns are dimly lit. The poem is good, but the occasion is wrong. Leave some leeway in everything. With your age, even if you have the heart of a hermit, you shouldn't express it to this extent, you are a mad scholar recluse."

The two walked along the street where the snow had not melted all the way. Kang Xian's thoughts were still the same as before, but when he talked about this matter, there was not much stern expression in it. Ning Yi smiled: "That's it?"

"Of course not only that! Today is already the nineteenth day of the first month. It's been nineteen days since the New Year, and you haven't come to my mansion to pay a visit. I am very angry about this matter, and the consequences are very serious... By the way, I passed by here once before the New Year. Your confidante's stall should have been set up at the street entrance in front. Has it been moved, or has it not been set up yet?"

Kang Xian pointed to the street entrance in front. Ning Yi shook his head and said, "Old man, you have to be responsible for what you say. Don't say it so ambiguously... Not many people bought food before the New Year. Naturally, the stall was closed. It will probably be set up again in a few days, and sold with a new batch of preserved eggs. Why is Elder Kang asking about this?"

"It's for your preserved eggs... Although the taste is strange, it is still palatable. The most important thing is that the appearance is good. I thought when entertaining guests these days that it would be pleasing to the eye to put a bowl on the table just to look at it. When that Miss Nie sets up her stall in a few days, let her send some to me."

Ning Yi nodded: "According to each person's taste, you can also add some vinegar, sauce and other seasonings to taste. Let your family's chef experiment a few times, but don't eat too much at once, too much will make you feel uncomfortable."

"Your preserved eggs don't taste that good, how can I eat too much." Kang Xian joked, then patted him on the shoulder, "I also know that your family situation is complicated, but there is no need to care too much. Next year, during the New Year, just bring your wife here for a visit. With your talent, and without my reputation to help, I am also interested in seeing what kind of demeanor a woman who can make you willingly become an adopted son-in-law has, haha..."

At the end of the first month, the weather gradually warmed up, and piles of snow melted into streams flowing into the Qinhuai River. The spring atmosphere of orioles flying and grass growing approached step by step. Then, Yushan Academy also opened in this atmosphere. On the first day I went to school, I met an unexpected person.

"Brother Ning, from now on, we will be colleagues, teaching at the academy together. I have many things I don't understand, so please take care of me."

Li Pin, Li Dexin, in the mouths of Jiangning people, this person is a talent comparable to Cao Guan. However, Cao Guan's style is steady, while he has a free and easy personality, so others often list Cao Guan as the first. It is really puzzling that such a person would run to Yushan Academy to teach. Ning Yi greeted him, but ignored the rest. Soon after, Su Chonghua came over to talk to him, only to learn that Li Pin had told Su Chonghua about this matter last year.

"Presumably he was impressed by Liheng's talent, so he wanted to come to the academy to further learn from him. This person is still quite sincere." After the Lantern Festival, Su Tan'er had a meal with Su Chonghua, probably pointing out that Ning Yi was not interested in the academy, so Su Chonghua's attitude towards Ning Yi has recently become more amiable.

Li Pin is five years older than Ning Yi. It is said that he already has the title of Jinshi, but he has not yet obtained a real position. He also did not go to various places in Bianliang to manage it, but just mixed in Jiangning, mixed with some reputation, and is also a weirdo - of course, even if you really want to manage it, people without much background have to go to a lot of trouble to get a real position. He is humble and handsome, and although he already has a wife at home, he is also quite favored by women outside. In particular, the name of a talent is too lethal. In the past, Su Tan'er was afraid of regarding Li Pin's name as an idol, but now she is calm. When talking about it at home, she smiled: "Presumably he was impressed by the demeanor of the husband."

What impressed Li Pin was not necessarily literary talent, of course, those two lyrics might be part of it, but in Ning Yi's opinion, what Li Pin was more interested in seemed to be the stories Ning Yi told. What he came to Yushan Academy to teach was not poetry, but archery, horsemanship, and arithmetic. These courses were all in the afternoon. In the morning, he also ran to the classroom to listen. At first, it made a group of young students quite cramped.

Occasionally, Li Pin would ask questions about some things Ning Yi said. In Ning Yi's view, these things were also some relatively critical places. Some summarized social laws, research methods for investigating the principles of things, and purely mechanical determinism. Ning Yi often told these children about these things casually, but he was unwilling to say them too thoroughly, because once they were thorough, they would become modern theories and become heretical. Li Pin occasionally asked a question, and Ning Yi also said a little more casually, but Li Pin might understand, but the children did not, and were often quite puzzled.

Li Pin probably also knew that Ning Yi might not talk to him much at this time, so he only occasionally asked some questions in class. When he met him on weekdays, he only greeted Ning Yi and exchanged a few pleasantries.

In February, Nie Yunzhu's cart was pushed out again, selling pancakes and preserved eggs together. But to be honest, preserved eggs were more expensive. At present, business was not very good. It was only sent to Kang Xian in batches, which was considered an income. This day in Qin Mansion, he was ridiculed by Kang Xian.

"Your preserved eggs are actually selling for twenty coins apiece. Salted eggs are no more than ten coins even at the most expensive, and they are also sold at pancake stalls. Think about it, Miss Nie's pancakes are only two coins. With a preserved egg worth twenty coins, people who buy pancakes to eat will not buy preserved eggs, and those who can buy preserved eggs as snacks often don't eat the pancakes. This kind of combination is really nonsense."

"Hehe, new things, if you sell them cheaply at once, you won't be able to sell them for a good price in the future. Actually, if I were to do it, I might think of a way to sell them for fifty coins. She doesn't seek to earn too much from that business, so she is so casual."

"Haha, people are really greedy. Fifty coins apiece, do you think that is a golden hen laying golden eggs? Now it is difficult for you to sell for twenty coins... Hehe, but you don't have to worry, in a few days when I entertain guests, I will try my best to promote it for you. There are still many people who can afford to eat a price of twenty coins. Then you have to thank me, it is considered that you owe me a favor..."

Kang Xian said triumphantly, but he didn't really want anything in return. Old Qin also echoed him from the side. Ning Yi didn't really care about favors. At this time, he rolled his eyes boredly: "Thanks for Elder Kang's help, but even if you don't help, I can spread things out in a month and sell it to you for twenty coins to see, how about it?"

"Oh? Really?"

"Salted eggs can sell for ten coins, what's so difficult about selling preserved eggs for twenty coins? It's just that not many people know about it now..." Ning Yi shrugged, "Who told me I was bored recently..."
