The spring breeze came one after another, blowing the Qinhuai River, the new snow falling in the New Year with the traces, the willows on the river bank decorated with emerald green, the occasional boat on the water, coming and going in a hurry, Shenwu four years into the right track.

In the noodle restaurant near the river, Wang Ning took Min Xingzhi to find a window position and ordered two bowls of noodles and two bowls of porridge, which were steaming and lively.

The hour was still early, and Jiangning had not fully woken up after the war, and at a certain moment the sunlight outside the city shone through the city wall, and the shadows in the city were wiped away little by little, and I finally felt a little warmth.

A bowl of noodles slipped down, the master and servant got up, stretched out with satisfaction, and paid to go out of the street.

"On an occasion like a banquet, you basically can't eat enough, I'll let you arrange breakfast, you're good, just such a bowl of noodles and a bowl of porridge, are we really too poor to eat breakfast?"

Wang Ning's complaint, there was not much seriousness, Min Xingzhi followed him, pretended to be aggrieved, and said: "The owner has wronged me."

"Why did I wrong you?" Wang Ning stopped, stared back with puffed eyes, full of "curiosity".

"The owner knows this."

"Understood? I understand a fart. Speaking of this, Wang Ning turned and patted his slightly bulging belly, he has been idle recently, his body has been a little fat, and he is already twenty-four years old this year, and he has officially entered the age of greasy middle age. Instead of dwelling on breakfast, he asked, "How did you get into the stuff you bought yesterday?" ”

"It's all done. It's just the owner, won't it be too shabby? No matter what the other party says, he is also a prefect, so is the gift ......?"

"That's enough." Wang Ning smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, coupled with the action of stroking his belly, he had a bit of the appearance of Maitreya Buddha in the temple outside the city.

Min Xingzhi was still a little worried, he had never been sure what the owner was thinking, so he didn't bother to bother anymore.

The two walked for a while, and they had already arrived at the inn where they had made an appointment, and there were already some people, most of them were the owners of the most famous commercial houses in Jiangning City, and there were also a few former officials who had retired in Jiangning, all of whom were acquaintances.

Wang Ning came in, and those who were close to him leaned over here, and those who had dislikes for each other also nodded their heads, Wang Ning maintained the previous appearance of Maitreya Buddha, which made everyone think a little more.

The Qi family's dispatch this time was Qi Siming, the third master in charge, and on this occasion, a junior like Qi Yulong was not worthy of his identity, and it would inevitably be rude to come over.

Wang Ning had not met Qi Siming before, and at this time, he only met after listening to Min Xingzhi's whispers, the two sides, as the leaders of each other's circles, wanted to move around, he was a junior, so he walked over there.

The hall fell silent, and the people around Qi Siming consciously took half a step back.

"Third Master Qi, the junior has given you a gift."

"The virtuous nephew is polite, the old man also talked about the virtuous nephew with the shopkeepers, and this happened to arrive."

"The virtuous nephew's legs and feet are not good, but he is not as fast as Cao Mengde......"

Qi Siming was stunned for a moment, and smiled symbolically, "The virtuous nephew is used to talking, you and I should walk around well......"

"The virtuous nephew will definitely visit the ...... when he is free"

The cordial chat scene was soon interrupted by a voice behind them, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a thin man who was nearly half a hundred years old coming in his hips, dressed in plain clothes, but his bearing was extraordinary.

Wang Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he was relieved, after all, many years have passed.

The person who came was the new prefect Wang Shao, and behind him was Cen Chong, a staff member who came to the door yesterday.

Wang Ning shrank behind the crowd, and when everyone was polite, when Wang Shao arrived in front of him, he did not salute him, but Wang Shao spoke first.

"This must be Wang Ning, the owner of Yunji." This was obviously said to Cen Zhong next to him.

Cen Zhong came out and answered: "Exactly."

Min Xingzhi secretly poked Wang Ning, Wang Ning came back to his senses, and immediately saluted, "Xiaomin Wang Ning has seen the prefect." ”

The serious and respectful appearance made everyone wonder for a while, and some of the people who had a holiday with him couldn't help but despise this kind of politeness.

Wang Ning was very serious when he saw the ceremony, and coupled with his previous stupidity, he naturally thought that he was afraid of the new prefect in the eyes of others.

Wang Shao nodded, didn't say anything, and instead said to everyone: "Let's all take a seat."

Everyone sat down, and "entourage" like Min Xingzhi was naturally not qualified to sit at the table, so sitting with Wang Ning were a few shopkeepers who were close to him on weekdays.

Sitting on the left hand side was Li Yunchao, the shopkeeper of Li Ji Buxing, because of Li Tianyuan's relationship, the two drank a little wine closely, and they were in the corner seat, and they didn't hear the words that came from there very clearly. The prefect's words were drowned out in the laughter of the front row.

Wang Ning grabbed a handful of melon seeds, peeled them carefully, and put some into the small plate in front of Li Yunchao. Li Yunchao was surprised, but he found it interesting, and asked softly: "What does the shopkeeper think this prefect is going to do?"

"What else can we do to meet and chat?"

"Today's people are all the shopkeepers of various commercial houses in Jiangning, I'm afraid there are some new changes, don't they all say that the new officials have taken office with three fires!"

Wang Ning smiled: "You can't burn the fire indiscriminately, it's not easy to clean up if it's really going to burn, I think it's better than the starting fire, I'm afraid this adult wants to take this opportunity to put out the fire...... The northwest is at war and needs silver, although the north has been negotiated, the annual coin also needs silver, and at this juncture, no one can light a fire. ”

"The turmoil caused before Lord Du left has already affected several tax-paying places around, and if the imperial court doesn't come out to calm down, I'm afraid that another group of people will die this year......

"Let's not talk about the war, in the past few years, the Yellow River has been flooding, and I have been talking about repairing the embankment and repairing the embankment, but it has been so many days, and I haven't seen it repaired, and this year's summer flood may not be controllable......"

Li Yunchao's face was solemn when he heard this, Wang Ning snorted and laughed: "You and I businessmen, we shouldn't discuss this, just give money when the time comes, I really can't give it, don't you have a three-foot white silk, and if you die, you won't be able to see the tragic situation of raiding the house......"

Li Yunchao's face became even more ugly, Wang Ning raised his glass, and became a little more serious, "Uncle Li, don't worry, it won't rot for a while, you and I can live in peace." ”

Li Yunchao and Wang Ning clinked glasses, and they didn't have the heart to listen to what was being said over there.

A banquet lasted until late at night, Wang Ning came early to steal the beams and change the pillars, and slipped away first, as for Min Xingzhi, he was not in a good mood when he came back.

The master and servant shrank together and discussed for a while, and Min Xingzhi gave a shocking news: "The prefect is very close to the Qi family, I'm afraid that Yunji's life will be sad in the future."

Wang Ning thought that there was really this possibility, but there was no real worry, and reassured: "Let's continue to do what should be done, isn't there still a Xuhui on it, if it doesn't work then, take this path...... The official university crushed people to death, I see where he Wang Shao can jump......"

Min Xingzhi was speechless for a while, only to feel a headache, and went back to sleep.

Wang Ning admired the moon without a moon, and also went into the house to sleep.

It's been two years, and I've gone through a lot of things, and I've turned back over and over again, so this story still has to continue!

Anyway, a result should be given!

In the past, I only wrote books for myself, and they all came by my own temperament, so they all said that they were fighting on the street, and I should have pounced on the street before I even went to the street!

Ask for collections, ask for support, ask for recommendations, ask for subscriptions!

Let's change it from time to time! Another year or two will always be able to finish it.
