Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 443 Pan Yiyang's Suspicion

Mrs. Pan said: "Where will it be? I'm looking at the matter of the cemetery. My master is busy learning Qin language recently, and he has to deal with the affairs of the mission with Mr. Zuo Xiangsun. The matter of the ancestral grave is probably going to be shelved Well, then I will persuade him that other people's ancestral graves don't have to be repaired every three days. It must be because of our bad feng shui. You are to blame."

Right Minister Pan Yiyang has always been a stubborn person. His ancestral grave was originally located in a land of geomantic omen, but there is a saying that geomantic omen turns, and the terrain of the mountain will be eroded by wind and snow, and it is impossible for it to remain unchanged for decades.

The reason why Pan Yiyang kept the ancestral graves was to respect the ancestors, but he probably still believed in this a little bit in his heart, but he refused to ask Feng Shui masters to move the ancestral graves, because he felt that those so-called Feng Shui masters were charlatans.

Such contradictions have been delayed again and again, so that now I have to repair and repair every year, and I am exhausted.

Nan Surou wondered: "Ma'am, the Taoist priest invited by Hu's family last time was Song Ruoshui Taoist priest of Yunfeng Taoist Temple. I have no friendship with him. You should invite him in the name of Youxiangfu. They are all famous Taoist priests, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find him.”

"Well, let's do it like this. When the master comes back later, don't mention it. He should learn Qin Yu from you immediately. Let me handle this matter by myself. If the master is so busy, I will cut it first and then play it." , he can't say anything." Mrs. Pan said mysteriously.

Nan Surou nodded shyly.

Not long after, Pan Yiyang came back from outside the mansion, his whole body was wet, he went back to his room and changed into a set of dry clothes before coming to see Nan Surou.

And Mrs. Pan told Pan Yiyang a few words about the ancestral grave, she only said that she would do it and let Pan Yiyang put the state affairs first, so Pan Yiyang reluctantly agreed.

From the beginning to the end, Nan Surou just watched quietly.

After Mrs. Pan went out, Pan Yiyang sat down opposite Nan Surou. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Princess Ruiherou, you must have heard about it from Madam. Something happened to the ancestral grave, so please forgive me for being late."

"Your Prime Minister devotes himself to the country on weekdays. How can I care about such a personal matter?" Nan Surou smiled and said: "Your Prime Minister has already spoken Qin Yu fluently, and has already learned the basic terms. In fact, You can deal with that private matter."

"No, no, no." Pan Yiyang said in a tongue-twisting Qin language, "how can a private matter compare to state affairs? I have learned too little and lack practical experience. If people from Daqin come, I probably won't be able to fully understand them. What are they talking about, if you don’t take this opportunity to learn more, you won’t be able to be deceived.”

What Pan Yiyang learned was just ordinary greetings and greetings on weekdays, as well as the terms and nouns commonly used in various banquets. Naturally, it is impossible to learn that kind of obscure language in a short period of time.

But how could Nan Surou teach Pan Yiyang everything?
She just pretended that she didn't know where to start and let Pan Yiyang choose the words to learn, which made Pan Yiyang have no idea, so she learned some daily expressions.

If Pan Yiyang had learned deeply, he would definitely find loopholes in what Kane Hu usually said.

Kanehu in this life is Nan Surou's ally, and Nan Surou doesn't want to cheat Kanehu in this way.

Nan Surou lightly smiled and said: "My lord, the people of Daqin have always been straight to the point. They don't have any deep meaning like our words. You don't have to worry about what they say, it's all literal."

An expression of "you don't understand" appeared on Pan Yiyang's face, and he said: "This is diplomacy, not traveling. I believe that those who can become envoys must not be idle. It is not a proud thing that foreigners are classified as barbarians, this old man never underestimates anyone, you are still young, and your knowledge is not extensive enough, so naturally you don’t know these things.”

Hearing these words, Nan Surou couldn't help admiring Pan Yiyang.

The civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty thought they were the best of their race and looked down on Kanehu, but Pan Yiyang, the prime minister on the right, never relaxed his vigilance. The Great Qin was thousands of miles away, and no one knew what it was like over there. If so, why This unknown country must be backward and barren, so our country must be superior to them?
Everything must be based on facts, and the so-called heavenly kingdom is nothing but subjective speculation.

Nan Surou thought about it, laughed lowly, and said: "I'm stupid. Your Excellency is right. We haven't seen what Daqin is like. We can't just think that we are superior to others subjectively."

"Children can be taught." Pan Yiyang nodded in satisfaction, he thought for a moment, and then said: "The old man heard that you knew Qin Yu before you met Kai Enhu, if not, he wouldn't hit it off with you, this is real?"

Nan Surou did not lie, and said: "Of course it is true, this news is not false."

"That's strange, you are so young, and given your father's situation at that time, you would not have contact with the people of Daqin. Your mother's family is rich and ordinary, how did you learn it?" Pan Yiyang's eyes showed a trace of doubt For so many days, this question has been lingering in Pan Yiyang's heart. The more Nan Surou taught him, the more frightened he became.

Nan Surou naturally understood that Pan Yiyang was suspicious and good at guessing, so she naturally wondered if there was some big conspiracy hidden behind her ordinary family background, such as...collusion with Daqin.

Nan Surou's face was as plain as water, and she said nonchalantly: "This matter is also very funny. Originally, I just bought a Qin language book at a street stall. It was very old. I saw the words flying like tadpoles on it, so I came here out of nowhere. I'm interested, but I can't understand it. Later, when I saw Hu merchants selling things, I went to ask for advice. They lived in no fixed place, so they didn't teach much. Later, I often went to Wanbaozhai, and saw Kane Hu's appearance. So I ran to pester him to teach me Qin Yu, it's really funny when I think about it now, he must have thought I was annoying to death."

"So you know each other that way?" Pan Yiyang asked with some doubts.

"That's right. I really have no other chance to see him except in Wanbaozhai." Nan Surou nodded and said, "If Mr. Right sends someone to investigate, he will know that I have been weak since I was a child and rarely go out. When I go to Wanbaozhai to eat dim sum, I hang out at the nearby stalls, and I also buy those books nearby, because the owner of Wanbaozhai is from Fanbang, and Hu merchants will feel safe by setting up street stalls near Wanbaozhai. I have been there for so many years The scope of action is all there, and it was only after being brought to the capital by my cousin last year that I ran around on both sides."

Pan Yiyang had already checked these things. If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for Nan Surou to be the guest of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion for such a long time. However, Pan Yiyang felt a little uneasy in his heart. Rou is not such a simple person.
