When Qi Ling'er leaned over to take a look, she saw Ning Xiu snickering at her.

Only then did she know that Ning Xiu was tricking her, and she couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Oh, you nerd has learned to deceive people!"

Another burst of powder fists smashed towards Ning Xiu's chest.

"Oops, it hurts this time."

Ning Xiu didn't expect Qi Ling'er's hand to be so strong, and grinned: "Auntie, Xiaosheng knows that he is wrong." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it!"

Qi Ling'er clapped her palms and said with a smile: "If the husband is not well-behaved, the slave is willing to serve at any time." ”

Ning Xiu's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I am a good husband of the Ming Dynasty who is loved by everyone, and the flowers bloom, the lady has something to say, but don't come nonsense." ”

Qi Ling'er glanced at Ning Xiu and said, "Who is your lady." ”

"Soon it will be."

Ning Xiu took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Qi Ling'er and kissed him affectionately.

"Hmm..."

Qi Ling'er only felt that a pair of warm lips were pressed against her mouth, and her cheeks became hot.

"Stinky and bad!"

This situation lasted for less than ten seconds, and Qi Ling'er pushed Ning Xiu away and said angrily.

Ning Xiu coughed and said, "Don't be duplicitous. ”

He and Qi Ling'er haven't seen each other for nearly a year, so naturally they miss it very much, and although Fang Cai's move is slightly inappropriate, it is also reasonable.

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time."

Qi Ling'er was broken, so she had to retract her fist weakly and turn her back.

"Lady, my husband came to Beijing to participate in the big competition this time, if we can do it in Chinese style, let's do the marriage."

Although Ning Xiu is very confident in himself, this kind of thing is a long night dream, and only by cooking raw rice can he really feel at ease.

"What do you say?"

Qi Ling'er raised her eyebrows, and her chest moved forward slightly.

Ning Xiu took advantage of the momentum to lean forward and ate a piece of tofu from his wife.

Well, eating your wife's tofu is nothing.

Ning Xiu said secretly in his heart.

Qi Ling'er blew up on the spot. She said in her heart that the old lady is not mad, you and I are a sick cat, and immediately began to "hunt down" Ning Xiu to exterminate human nature. ”

How could Ning Xiu be willing to give in easily, he dodged left and right lightly, avoiding his fiancée's hot hands, and teasing him from time to time.

The two chased from the inside of the house to the outside, and from the yard to the garden.

Qi Linger's familiarity with the terrain gradually revealed, and finally Ning Xiu was captured by Qi Ling'er in a rockery.

"Oh, the lady is really good."

Although Ning Xiu gasped heavily, his eyes were full of banter.

Seeing that he was so dishonest, Qi Ling'er's original intention to forgive him was swept away.

Before Ning Xiu could tease his beloved wife, he felt a pain in his ears.

"Oh, what is this lady doing, let go quickly."

His right ear had been grabbed by Qi Ling'er, and he gasped in pain. He looked out of his spare eye, but fortunately there was no one in the garden. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be seen in this scene.

No matter how you say it, he is also a dignified Xie Yuanlang, after being pulled by his wife in public, how can his husband Zhen Zhen?

Ning Xiu's helpless begging for mercy did not have an effect, on the contrary, Qi Ling'er's hand strength was even more ruthless.

Seeing Ning Xiu's grinning teeth being pulled, Qi Ling'er was in a good mood.

"Hmph, see if you dare to tease me. Dead nerd! ”

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, Ning Xiu had no choice but to negotiate peace.

"Lady, it's all your husband's fault, can you let go first?"

Qi Ling'er obviously lacked experience in fighting against the "underworld forces", and even believed it to be true.

The moment she let go, Ning Xiu immediately ran out of more than a dozen steps like a wild horse, and grimaced at his fiancée.

Only then did Qi Ling'er realize that she had been deceived, and she hated it so much that the roots of her teeth itched.

The two began to chase again, and after a while they stopped.

Ning Xiu leaned against the pillars of the pavilion and looked at the koi in the pond.

And Qi Ling'er was lying in Ning Xiu's arms, quietly enjoying this rare time.

How many times, how many times she dreamed of this scene in her dreams. But when she really woke up, it was a completely different scene, she was the only one in the house in the black zone.

"Idiot, don't leave this time when you come to Jingshi."

"Huh?"

Ning Xiu obviously didn't realize the deep meaning of Qi Ling'er's words, and responded lightly: "Yes, I won't leave Beijing before the big competition." ”

"Idiot, what a nerd! I mean you stay with me all the time! ”

Qi Ling'er rolled her eyes and said.

"I'm afraid that's not something I can decide."

Ning Xiu's face was bitter.

If he hadn't been a junior sergeant, he would have had to return to Gangneung. If he is admitted to the Jinshi, then there are two situations.

The first is that after the process of observing the government, the officials were awarded the officials of the Beijing government. Then he can naturally stay in Jingshi justifiably.

However, if the officials conferred the magistrates of other provinces, prefectures and counties, it was a little difficult to do.

The magistrates of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to bring their families to the place where they were to take up their posts. Therefore, if Ning Xiu released the state and county officials, he would definitely have to separate from Qi Ling'er.

Seeing Ning Xiu's bitter face, Qi Ling'er was furious, and her pink fist smashed into Ning Xiu's chest again.

"Dead Ning Xiu, dead nerd!"

"Oops!"

Ning Xiu was smashed by Qi Ling'er, and he told him again and again: "It's not that I don't want to, it's really up to me to call the shots for this kind of thing." If it is okay for the Beijing official to say, the magistrate is not allowed to bring his family. ”

Qi Ling'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Hmph, what's that." I have my own way. ”

Ning Xiuzhi was dumbfounded. The Ming Dynasty explicitly forbade officials to bring their families to work, no matter how powerful Qi Ling'er is, can he make an exception?

"What an idiot!"

Qi Ling'er was disgusted, but she didn't continue, but silently lay in Ning Xiu's arms.

Ning Xiu had mixed feelings in his heart.

With his character, he is indeed not suitable for marrying those little birds, but Qi Linger went to the other extreme. I'm afraid that the tiger girl will not be able to subdue him.

The husband is sluggish, the husband is sluggish!

"Idiot, what are you thinking?"

Qi Ling'er's voice became gentle again, making Ning Xiu a little unpredictable.

"I'm thinking about how many guests we're going to have on our wedding day."

Although the form of wedding banquets in the Ming Dynasty and later generations was different, one thing is certain, that is, it is a big operation.

Especially a prominent family like the Qi family. Although Qi Jiguang is only a general soldier in the military rank, he also added the title of prince and young guard, and his beloved daughter's wedding naturally cannot be shabby.

Besides, Ning Xiu is also the identity of Xie Yuanlang, if there is no accident, he will also be a jinshi in the future, and the guests at the banquet will definitely have heads and faces.

As soon as he thought of this, Ning Xiu's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Hmph, this kind of thing is naturally decided by Daddy, and it's in vain if you think about it."

Qi Ling'er knocked Ning Xiu back to reality with a single word.

Yes, this kind of thing must be made by Qi Jiguang. Who to invite and how many people to invite is definitely not something that his son-in-law can interject.

......

......

After fighting with Ling'er Ergen for most of the day, Ning Xiu left the future old Taishan's mansion.

At this time, there was still some time before the start of the exam, and Ning Xiu wanted to take the opportunity to take a good tour of the Jingshi.

Of course, he also went to Beijing to play in later generations, but after hundreds of years, many customs have changed a lot. It is said that many things on the scenery of the imperial capital are no longer available in later generations.

He returned to the Huguang Hall first, called Liu Weining and the two to search for the Holy Antique together, and tossed until dusk before returning to the hall.

At dinner, Liu Weining sighed with emotion: "The imperial capital really lives up to its reputation, and the momentum that dominates the world is something that no other city has." ”

Ning Xiu smiled: "What's the matter, Brother Liu wants to improvise a poem?" ”

Liu Weining immediately smiled bitterly: "Then forget it, in front of your Ning Dacai, how dare I get an axe." ”

He took a sip of rice wine and said loudly: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, we should also buy some New Year's goods to prepare." ”

Ning Xiu bowed his head slightly in agreement.

In order to participate in the big competition, they came to Beijing several months in advance, and they could not celebrate the New Year in their hometown.

But this year still has to be good, even in a foreign land.

In fact, although the guild hall is not as good as your own home, it also has a New Year's atmosphere. At that time, fireworks and firecrackers will be set off, and the atmosphere of the whole clan will not be bad when they get together.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a noise outside the house, Ning Xiu and Liu Weining turned around separately to see, and saw that several Jinyi Guard captains in flying fish suits seemed to be tying up a Confucian student in a dark blue Confucian robe.

The Confucian scolded and resisted desperately. It's just that he is the opponent of a group of strong men, and he is tied up like a zongzi in a moment's work.

Ning Xiu was a little curious, so he moved out to have a look, although Liu Weining was a little worried, he also tended to go.

The scholar scolded: "You locked up my people, but you can't lock my heart." The traitorous minister should deceive the king. The traitorous minister should deceive the king. ”

A Jinyi guard captain sneered: "I advise you to save some effort, and when you enter the edict, you will suffer." ”

"Let go of me, you eagle dogs!"

The Confucian spat at one of the brocade-clothed guards in the face and cursed loudly.

The brocade guard who was foaming at the mouth couldn't help but be furious, and kicked the Confucian in the lower abdomen.

Soon, the scholar was escorted away by the Jinyi guard.

After this incident, the Huguang Hall immediately exploded, and everyone was discussing, some of them were lamenting the domineering of the brocade clothes, and some of them admired the Confucian personality.

Ning Xiu stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask, why was that friend wanted by Jinyiwei?" ”

"Ah, it turned out to be Ning Jieyuan, disrespectful and disrespectful." A scholar dressed in a light green Shu brocade shirt arched his head: "Fang Cai's friend is named Han Zheng, and he wrote a poem satirizing Jin Shang and his second assistant Zhang Siwei, which naturally caused a big disaster. ”

Ning Xiu frowned slightly.

Of course, Jin Shang and Zhang Siwei knew that in fact, Zhang Siwei was the representative of Jin Shang in the court.

To say that the rise of Jin Shang is also thanks to the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and in order to resist the remnants of the Mengyuan forces who fled to the grassland, a nine-sided important town was set up.

However, at that time, the Ming treasury was empty and could not afford the cost of transporting grain over long distances, so this task was entrusted to merchants.

Merchants are unprofitable, and if you don't promise them benefits, they won't be willing to die for the court.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang pioneered the opening of the Chinese method.

The so-called Kaizhong method refers to the merchant transporting grain to Jiubian, and then receiving salt and leading it to a designated place for sale.

Depending on the amount of grain transported, the amount of salt introduced will also vary.

Salt was an extremely important material in the Ming Dynasty, and merchants were naturally willing to work hard when they got the promise. One of them, the Shanxi merchants, the Jin merchants, relied on this opportunity to rise rapidly.

It can be said that the rise of the Jin merchants is thanks to the Tatars. If it weren't for the Tatars who invaded the border passes from time to time, the Ming court would not have hoarded heavy troops on the nine borders, and naturally would not need so much grain to be transported to the border passes.

The reason why later generations scolded the Jin merchants was because it was difficult for the Jin merchants to make a fortune.

At this time, the Jin merchants were still trading with the Tatars, but they did not raise a beast.

Ning Xiu knew that the real threat to the Ming Dynasty was not from the north, but from Liaodong.

At this time, although Nurhachi was just twenty years old and was still making soy sauce in the Jurchen tribe, Ning Xiu knew that when he was twenty-five years old, that is, in the twelfth year of Wanli, he would unify the Jurchen tribes, and then his ambitions would swell rapidly, with the intention of winning the Central Plains.

The death of Ming is due to internal troubles, and the second is to die from external troubles.

The so-called external invasion refers to the post-Jin regime.

It was said that at that time, Houjin had just been founded, and the treasury was extremely empty.

Although Nurhachi was ambitious, he had to borrow money because of the emptiness of the treasury.

The object of the loan is Jin Shang!

Businessmen are unscrupulous and mercenary.

Nurhachi promised high interest rates to the Jin merchants, and the Jin merchants happily lent huge sums of money to the Later Jin regime.

In order to show his sincerity, Nurhachi even stamped a seal on the IOU, calling it a dragon ticket.

Without the "funding" of Jin Shang, Houjin would not have risen so quickly.

The Jin merchants not only lent money to the Jurchens, but also transported goods outside the customs and sold them to the Jurchens.

Among them, there is no shortage of strategic materials such as salt and iron.

At that time, the Ming court explicitly forbade trading with the Jurchens, but the Jin merchants turned a blind eye to this decree, not only trading with the Jurchens, but also bringing some news and intelligence to the Later Jin regime, which is really hateful.

Of course, none of this has happened yet, and only Ning Xiu knows.

However, the ugliness of the Jin merchants has already appeared, otherwise there would not be a situation where the scholar wrote poems to denounce the Jin merchants.

I don't have a good impression of Zhang Siwei Ningxiu.

This man is scheming, one thing in front of him and one thing behind the other, which fueled the situation in the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng after his death.

If he hadn't fallen into the ground, Emperor Wanli might not have raided his former teacher.

Just saying that he is the spokesperson of Jin Shang is worth reprimanding.

"Han's friend Gao Yi, Ning admires!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the scholar dressed in Shu brocade made a silent movement.

"Ning Jieyuan, please be careful!"

He smiled bitterly and said, "Jinyi Wei has many ears and eyes, if they hear it, it may not be good for Ning Jieyuan." ”

It turned out that he was worried about this!

Ning Xiu had a plan in his heart, and waved his hand disappreciatively: "Don't worry about this, Ning firmly believes that evil does not prevail over good." ”

Ning Xiu said this, of course, because behind him were Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng.

No matter how domineering Zhang Siwei is, he doesn't dare to directly challenge the two, right? What's more, Zhang Juzheng still has allies like Feng Bao in the inner court, even if Zhang Siwei loses his mind, he will not harm Ning Xiu at such a time.

However, it is a pity that Han Zheng, a Confucian student from Huguang who wrote poems satirizing Zhang Siwei and Jin Shang, is a pity. With Zhang Siwei's retributive temperament, if he doesn't have a strong enough relationship, he will definitely die tragically in the edict prison.
