Tian had transformed into a super little fangirl at this moment. Her eyes were full of twinkling stars when she looked at Ma Fuquan. If she was given a glow stick, Jane Ning had no doubt that she would break her arm by shaking it.
From this she also knew that Constable Ma and Constable Ma were of the same character.
She said that with the captain's personality, how could he easily lose his composure? It was she who was worrying too much.
Jian Ning unconsciously glanced at Tian again. Her whole body was glowing. She probably thought that even if she knew the truth in the future, Captain Ma would be more to her liking.
This was a good thing, Jian Ning felt relieved. Actually, Tian and the captain looked like a good match. When she first saw Tian, she thought she was quite ordinary, just a kind and easygoing older sister. But as she looked at her for a while, she found she was incredibly attractive, and the more she looked at her, the more dignified and wealthy she became. On the other hand, Chang, while at first glance haggard, seemed graceful, she wasn't very attractive, and after a while, a hint of bitterness began to show.
Thinking of Chang, Jian Ning realized that her family was not at home. Just as she was about to ask Tian, thunderous applause broke out in the yard.
The head of the village, the clan leader, Tian and her family members clapped their hands until they were almost broken. They didn't understand the lyrics very well, but they felt very uplifted and intoxicated after listening to them.
Taifu and Ding Youtian felt that it was magnificent and made their blood boil.
"What a man who is willing to shed his blood and write history!" Ding Youtian stood up first, raised his glass and said, "Brother Ma, you have always aspired to be a great hero and slay all the evildoers in the world. You even traveled thousands of miles to seek out famous teachers and eventually mastered your skills. You have never forgotten the oath you made in your youth. I admire you. Let me toast you!"
"No problem." Ma Fuquan seemed to be still unsatisfied. He picked up the cup and sang it again while shaking his head before drinking it in one gulp.
After drinking, his eyes passed by Jian Ning, and he really wanted to ask Jian Ning to sing a piece of "Peony Pavilion. Garden Tour" for everyone. In the past, Jian Ning would sing a piece for everyone every time the team held an activity.
However, since he proposed it, everyone couldn't help but wonder how he knew Jane Ning could sing, so they had to give up.
"Today has truly opened my eyes and saturated my ears. First, my little brother's handwriting impressed me, and now Captain Ma's rendition of the opera is truly astonishing. I just don't know what style it is in."
The old master asked.
"I don't know either. I learned it from an old man in the county. Hearing the lyrics inspired me, so I begged him to teach me these lines. The first line was originally a celebration drink, but I changed it to a disciple drink. Isn't this just to suit the occasion, haha?"
The Grand Tutor did not expect that he would gain so much from this trip to Dingjia Village. He secretly made a decision in his heart that when he retired, he would travel around and get to know the people. There are so many talented people among the people!
"Madam." Ding Youtian suddenly smiled and looked at Jian Ning. "Madam officially accepted Xiaomai as her apprentice today. Look, Xiaomai's father, Big Brother Ma, has sung a song for everyone. Should we also sing a song to join in the fun?"
Ma Fuquan clapped his hands immediately after hearing this, "Yes, it's your turn, come on and perform a piece."
Jane Ning's mind flashed with the image of Tian's little fangirl, and she glanced at Ding Youtian, and for a moment she was also a little overwhelmed. She stood up and said, "Then I will show my ugliness."
When it comes to singing, Jian Ning is an amateur compared to professionals, but a professional compared to Ma Fuquan. She first warmed up her voice, then, with light lotus steps and slightly parted lips, a soft and clear voice rang out: "If you haven't been to the garden, how can you know how beautiful spring is... What can I do with the beautiful scenery and the good weather? Whose courtyard can I enjoy the pleasure..."
After Jian Ning finished singing, only Ding Youtian and Ma Fuquan showed their support. Tian and her family, the Grand Tutor, the head of the village, and the clan leader were not in high spirits, but they also clapped perfunctorily.
"What a beautiful day and beautiful scenery! The anonymous poet who wrote the Peony Pavilion is truly remarkable." As Ding Youtian finished speaking, the Grand Tutor nodded, and it was obvious that he also knew about the Peony Pavilion.
Jian Ning and Ma Fuquan looked at each other quickly, and both were shocked, but Jian Ning soon realized that if she and Ma Fuquan could travel through time, there must have been someone who traveled through time before them. No wonder there were already things like fragrant soap in this time and space.
Perhaps, there were also many time travelers in her era. Who can tell? She couldn't help but think of her master, Grandma Wu.
The Peony Pavilion was Grandma Wu's favorite play, and it was Grandma Wu who taught her to sing it, but she was far inferior to her master in singing.
She was recalling the first time she heard her master sing The Peony Pavilion when Chang's daughter Daya ran in with a sad face.
"Aunt Jian, my father and mother are fighting at home, and my brother asked me to come and call you..."
"What?" Tian rushed over when she heard it. "Ding Pingshun is so powerful, did he really fight with your mother?"
"Well, go and persuade my dad!"
Jian Ning and Tian went there. Tian asked Ma Fuquan to continue drinking with everyone and not to worry about anything. She and Jian Ning would just go.
Ding Pingshun came back after cooking lunch for the children. Chang didn't know about it yet. She helped Tian for a while after work. After Jian Ning went to perform surgery on San Gouzi, she thought Ding Pingshun should be back by now, so she took the time to go home.
As soon as Chang returned, Ding Pingshun told her that the price of grain had risen by another twenty wen per jin. He asked her to give him the money and asked if she had borrowed money from Jian Ning. He said he and several other clansmen had already agreed to buy grain from other villages later. Chang told him to give up the idea. A bird should build a nest that fits its size. Don't overthink things. A steady and down-to-earth life is the right thing to do. She also told him to take the children to Tian's house for dinner later.
As a result, Ding Pingshun told her to go and take the children with her, because he would not go anyway.
The two started arguing, and Chang sent Daya to tell Tian that there were guests at home and her family would not be going to dinner.
After a quarrel, the couple fell into a cold war. Later, Ding Pingshun asked Chang who was the head of the family. As if possessed, he grabbed the box of money and tried to leave. Chang naturally refused to let him, and a fight broke out between them.
When Jian Ning and Tian arrived, the two men had already stopped fighting. Both were in a state of disarray, with injuries varying degrees. However, Chang managed to snatch the money box back and held it tightly in her arms.
"Ding Sheng, you are not a child anymore, why don't you help your mother a little?" When Tian saw Chang's nose bleeding, she couldn't help but scold Ding Sheng.
Then she pointed at Ding Pingshun's nose and scolded him for being heartless. When Ding Pingshun saw Jian Ning coming, he lowered his head and dared not say a word, letting Tian point at him and scold him.
Ding Sheng felt wronged. He supported his father in collecting grain from the bottom of his heart and didn't understand why his mother wanted to stop such a good thing. But when his father and mother started fighting, he did try to persuade them, but he just couldn't persuade them.
Unable to persuade them, he quietly sent his eldest sister to call Jian Ning and the others. He didn't think he had done anything wrong and was dissatisfied with being scolded by Tian.
Jian Ning came in and saw Chang hugging the money box. She knew why they were fighting, but she hadn't said anything because Tian was pointing and cursing at Ding Pingshun. Logically, it wasn't their place to meddle in the couple's affairs, but Chang had been with her for so long, and like Tian, she always considered her best interests. How could she just sit there and watch?
After Tian finished scolding, Jian Ning spoke.
"Brother Ding, in my heart, Sister Chang and Sister Tian are both my biological sisters. They are just like my family, and I am also theirs. Let's forget what happened today. I won't talk about it anymore. If you find out you hit Sister Chang the next time, don't blame me for breaking your hand. You'd better remember what I said."
