In the afternoon, in the bamboo record, the people who should arrive are coming one after another.

As is the case in all social situations, it is often the people who arrive early who are not too high-status. Like some candidates who entered Beijing to take the exam and came to admire them, the students in Guozijian, including Chen Dong, a student who had personally reprimanded Ning Yi, came relatively early, and in terms of scale, it could barely be regarded as a gathering of celebrities and scholars.

Of course, in this spring test in Beijing, there are not many talents with the highest voice. Just like Song Yongping's previous plan, one is arrogant, and the other is to seek benevolence, real learning always belongs to those who are willing to study hard, the exam is imminent, and those who really want to get a good ranking are already nervous at this time, so they don't come to participate in this kind of poetry meeting.

In addition to these scribes or wealthy people who came to join in the fun, there were some idlers in Bianliang City. Like some members of the Junwen Society, Qin Mowen, Xue Gongyuan, and Yan Ling, who had conflicts with Ning Yi during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and some idle petty officials who can be influenced by Qin Siyuan's tiger skin - this is also because Ning Yi pulled Yao Zunian over to take charge. When these people arrived, the evening building of Zhuji really had a scale.

And during the mixed period, there were also some women in the green buildings such as Alum Lou and Xiao Candle Xuan, and most of the people who could come over today were some talented women who were famous. Ning Yi spent a lot of money on this, allowing them to find acquaintances in the building and liven up the atmosphere. As for Li Shishi and the others who were in charge of the performance, they also arrived early, and there was already a convoy coming over after a while, but it was only to further decorate the stage where the performance was to be performed, and for a while, Li Yun just came out to greet people.

Song Yongping looked for Ning Yi up and down for a long time, but it was just after noon. Yes, it doesn't appear in the main hall of Zhuji anymore.

For him, that's the case. It's a bit strange, really. A businessman who mixed in the capital opened two shops. It's not a wealthy family, after getting such a momentum for a banquet event, he ran away, even his father, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to do such a snub act. He thought that this brother-in-law might have known that Gao Yanei was going to make trouble, and he was running for it. However, for the sake of insurance, I still asked someone a few more times, and when I finally found Ning Yi, the other party was in the courtyard behind the Wanzhao Building.

By that time, the sun had begun to set in the west. The light shines down and sprinkles between the old courtyards of the eaves, but it still looks bright. The noise in front of me was faintly coming this way. When Zhu Kee opened two stores in Bianliang, he acquired a number of properties in the vicinity, renovated some of them, and opened them, and the land was quite abundant. This kind of thing is actually not surprising, the gap between the rich and the poor in feudal society, the social status composition span is very large, and the closer to the center of Bianliang, the land is not as crowded as the edge. It's also a symbol of power and relationship.

When Zhu Ji bought the land, Ning Yi asked the monk Jueming to help as much as possible, plus consciously pulled the tiger skin of the Xiangfu, as long as he was willing to spend money. Everything went smoothly. At this time, less than half of the renovated part was used for opening stores, and the rest of the undeveloped areas remained in their old appearance, waiting for the expansion step by step. When Song Yongping came over. Seeing Ning Yi sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard thinking about things, he was facing the small pond in front of him. His eyes were serious, and his fingers tapped on the railing of the pavilion next to him. The beating was irregular, and it seemed to be calculating something with his fingers, but seeing Song Yongping coming, Ning Yi still stopped thinking and smiled at him.

"Yongping...... Something? Sit. Ning Yi saw the other party's expression, smiled and frowned slightly, and then stretched out his hand.

"Presumably my brother-in-law already knows about that incident, right?"

Song Yongping stepped into the pavilion, his eyes and steps were calm, and after sitting down, he got straight to the point. Ning Yi was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Taiwei's Mansion."

"Huh?"

Song Yongping sat down, waiting for Ning Yi to react as expected. In the circle in which he lives, the correspondence between a gentleman and a wise man is more or less like this—like his father's correspondence with his staff—calmly and calmly, but he can accurately grasp what the other party thinks. However, after a while, he felt that he still overestimated Ning Yi, and the other party blinked, looking confused, very unpopular.

You don't know what the matter of the Taiwei Mansion is still bothering here!

He was a little surprised, and then added: "Gao Yanei's affairs, brother-in-law still doesn't know the way?" ”

Ning Yi leaned back, and when he heard this name, the emotion that floated in his heart was first of all funny: "Gao Muen? What happened to him? ”

"Hmm...... I heard someone outside say that this Gao Yanei was going to come to his brother-in-law for trouble today, saying that he had gathered some people and wanted to smash down this shop, which disturbed Zhu Ji's performance today. Song Yongping paused, waiting for Ning Yi to digest what he said, "I'm afraid this person is not easy to mess with." ”

Ning Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then glanced at Song Yongping thoughtfully: "Yesterday, I heard Yongping say that he was going to study at home today...... Came here for this? After asking, he nodded with a smile and added, "Gao Muen, heh, it's really not easy to mess with." ”

"Just listening to a friend. In addition, I do want to listen to my brother-in-law's new words, and I don't know why this evening building is called evening light. Song Yongping said with a smile, and then became serious again, and said, "Having said that, the younger brother also knows that Lu Dao does business in the capital, and most of them need to have some background. But with the power of the Taiwei Mansion, I am afraid that this matter must be guarded against, I don't know if Lu Dao's brother-in-law has a countermeasure. ”

Ning Yi looked at him with a gentle expression: "What do you think of Yongping?" ”

"I'm new here, and I don't know how many useful relationships there are in the hands of my brother-in-law. But after all, it is the Taiwei Mansion, if you want to confront it, I am afraid that it will not be easy for ordinary people to come forward...... If it really can't be done, the younger brother has already seen the right minister once when he went to Beijing this time, and with the relationship between his father and the right minister, plus the brother-in-law has always had contacts with the prime minister, maybe he can ask the prime minister to help him in this matter...... After all, it's really a bit of a philistine......"

Song Yongping thought that time was running out, and at this time he told everything he thought in his heart. In his opinion, Ning Yi often has dealings with the Xiangfu, but even if he manages some accounts for the Xiangfu, firstly, Gao Muen is a junior, and secondly, the matter of opening a store is too philistine, a person of Qin Siyuan's status. At most, he came out to say a word after the store was smashed by the other party. And if you add the relationship of your own family, you may be able to ask Qin Siyuan to stifle the danger before it happens. The sun is shining. fell in the pavilion, and Song Yongping whispered about the proportions. Ning Yi looked at him over there, and there was quite appreciation in his eyes.

"Yongping is very familiar with these things."

"It's not familiar." Song Yongping said modestly, "I just don't know how my brother-in-law can form a bond with that Gao Yanei." ”

"There were two conflicts when he came here, and it was a good thing for him...... Later, someone put him along, and he probably settled the account on my head. This person is a little messy, and he doesn't care about the front and back, and it's really a bit troublesome. ”

"You have to be prepared." Song Yongping reminded him, which meant that if he wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's time to go! At the moment, although the guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion Yao Zunian is also there, if there is no Qin Siyuan's personal opening, the identity of the guest will not be comparable to that of someone else's son, and the other party may not do his best. In the officialdom, this is the case, a guest secretary does not dare to cause big trouble for the owner.

"Hmm." Ning Yi nodded, and after a while, he smiled, "That's right." The teacher girl has arrived. Would you like to meet it? ”

Song Yongping was puzzled in his heart and said, "...... You'll always see it later, but you won't need it now...... My brother-in-law was busy beforehand, so I went to the front first. ”

"That's right. Have fun. I'll find someone to deal with Gao Muen's matter later, don't worry. But Yongping ran like this, and I remembered my heart. ”

"It's all family. Don't talk to two families. ”

Song Yongping arched his hand with a smile. With his IQ, it could also be seen from Ning Yi's expression at this time. The other party does not have to use all their connections to ask for help. I can't help but wonder how a small business can have such a relationship. But he was also a proud man. I had already said a lot of superfluous words in my heart before, so I said goodbye and went back to the front at this time, and looked back when I left, Ning Yi, who had sent him away, turned around and went back to the pavilion, his fingers tapping on his side, and he had already returned to the mode of thinking.

**************

Ning Yi sat back in the pavilion, pushed the fruit plate on the small stone table away a bit, and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, letting his emotions return to his previous contemplation.

After chatting with Chen Fan earlier, he met with the master and Li Yun who were coming over to prepare for the performance, and after talking for a while, he didn't go to the front to entertain guests or direct the arrangement. The store is the business of the shopkeeper, and the performance belongs to the expertise of the teacher, and it is only right to let the professional do the professional things, and he is not willing to worry too much about these things.

As for Gao Muen, there is no need to think too seriously at the moment, since Liang Shan came back, he has already opened up some underworld forces in Bianliang City through the Secret Investigation Division, and around him, there are also some members of the Secret Investigation Division who can be mobilized at any time. And the most important thing is that Gao Muen may not have a powerful status in Gao Yu's mind, although I don't know how he was suddenly released, but in today's situation in Zhuji, the other party can't afford to make too much trouble, and he may not dare to set up too much chaos.

The only thing to worry about is that Gao Muen suddenly came to the door, will it be a tentative signal that Gao Yu wants to do something on his side. But when you think about it, the odds are slim after all.

Liu Xigua's woman ran to save Fang Qifo, which is a big trouble to consider.

Led by the young master Wang Huang, this time for escorting the Seven Buddhas to Beijing, several big families in the Wu Dynasty have already been eyeing that side. It's not that the other party regards this matter as a serious situation now, but to be honest, every little effort of these families has no impact that can be compared to two people or one hundred and two hundred, and today, when the Yongle Uprising is completely defeated, even if the Badao Battalion is all dispatched, it can't make much splash.

Compared with Liang Shan's domineering on the surface, Ning Yi knew in his heart that these big families were giant whales hiding underwater. On the large side, they were busy cooperating with Wang Hao, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others to go north to buy cities, eager to restore trade between the north and the south, and to prepare for business in the new era after the destruction of Liao. For Fang Qifo, these people are at most just talking at the moment, watching the hundreds of people from the Criminal Department escorting the prisoners north, but once the strength of the prisoner expands, the strength of the other party will definitely expand even more, and the extent of this expansion, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no upper limit.

Even if he can really rescue Fang Qifo with any lightning speed, waiting around will be surrounded and intercepted all over the land south of the Yangtze River, and if one is not good, the little residual strength of the Badao Battalion will be completely trapped, and some people who managed to escape after the fall of the Yongle Dynasty will also be found out again in such a situation.

Ning Yi didn't approve of saving the Seven Buddhas at all, even if he asked Chen Fan about the detailed situation later, he was just thinking about how to persuade Liu Xigua. The girl's temperament is too stubborn, how to convince her, I am not sure, and the strength of the criminal department's preparation this time is already very strong, if you really rush over, and watermelon and others have been counterattacked, you always have to have some ideas in advance, how to deal with the situation, try to let them run away.

The affairs of Hangzhou and Liangshan have just ended, and the layout of the capital has just started, and it is not even a firm foothold, and Ning Yi has a headache to get involved in such a thing. He is a person who admires strength, and he doesn't want to go at night at all, give him a few years to spread out the strength under his hands, and then push the opponent flat is the king. At this time, he sighed, trying to stay out of the way.

But in any case, there are two things that must always be guaranteed: dissuade Chen Fan and dissuade watermelon.

Thinking like this, after a short time, it was getting westerly, and Ning Yi asked the shopkeeper in the building to prepare for Gao Muen's possible trouble. When the sunset was red, Wen Ren came to find him, and at this time, the performance in the building in front of him had actually begun.

As the first building where Ning Yi deliberately wrote poems, there will not be only one performance this night. But in order to avoid the situation that others think he is too arrogant, Ning Yi's "new poem" is actually placed in the first poem of the whole evening. With the light and shadow effect of a batch of gunpowder suddenly ignited, Master Li appeared, starting from the first sentence "Dongcheng gradually feels that the scenery is good", at this time it is worthy of singing "The green poplar smoke is light and cold, and the red apricot branches are in spring".

In the room for musical instruments, most of the building was quiet, and the sunset shone in through the window, and soon after, night fell. After Master Li's performance was completed, this "evening light building" was set by the last sentence of the poem, "Persuade the sun to hold wine for the king, and leave the evening light among the flowers" to set the tone, and then there were various performances, as well as some novel magic, juggling and even two funny cross talks.

I'm afraid that this night's evening building will not alarm the entire Bianliang, but it is still decent, but it is not lost. Ning Yi also told Wen Ren about Gao Muen, and then waited for the other party to come over, but after nightfall, another hour passed, when the night wind blew and the brightly lit streets were full of people, there was still no sign that anyone was coming to find trouble. Wanzhaolou's current positioning is a restaurant, not a theater or a green building, no matter how good the performance is, a dinner party will not go on until late at night, once someone starts to leave after eating and chatting, the other party can come to make a mess.

"This Gao Muen, after being locked up at home for half a year, has become a bit unfathomable......" Ning Yi said with some amusement as he looked at the pedestrians on the street on the terrace on the second floor. The light of the fire shone on him, and not far away, he shook his head.

"I don't feel anything unfathomable, but it's not strange for a person like Gao Muen to do any messy things, maybe he suddenly fell in love with a good woman on the street."

"Hmm, Cheng Zhouhai hasn't finished him enough......" Ning Yi touched his nose, "Then again, after being locked up for half a year, why was he suddenly released again." ”

"I inquired before, and I heard that yesterday in the Taiwei Mansion, he suddenly went crazy and fell in love with the teacher's girl. Then I cried with his father for an afternoon, probably annoying his father......

"What?"

"You don't know what to do? Yesterday in the Taiwei Mansion, he wanted to rape the master girl, but it is estimated that he did not succeed...... I don't know very well, but in short, I beat the teacher, I didn't pay much attention to the teacher's dress today...... Isn't the powder on your face a little thick...... You haven't seen her before? ”

Ning Yi was stunned, yesterday the master and Li Yun went to the Taiwei Mansion to apologize, he had also traveled all the way, he did meet with the master and Li Yun twice, and chatted for a while, but Master Li felt that everything was as usual, and he didn't pay special attention to these. Now that I think about it, if she was really troubled by Gao Muen in the Taiwei Mansion yesterday, the cause must be because of herself.

“…… Oh. He nodded, "Didn't pay attention to ......" (to be continued......
