Fanbang came to congratulate and pay tribute at the same time, so that there were a lot of Hu merchants in the capital, Ji Ning could also feel it when he walked on the street, there were a lot of exotic customs on the road, and some Hu merchants were selling goods from the Western Regions, many of which were more refined than the Central Plains, but most of the handmade products were still the best in the Central Plains.

Ji Ning liked this exotic trinket very much, bought two and brought them back, just one for Yuling and Lin Juan'er, and then he was going to take the two little girls out for a walk, after all, seeing that in late February, the weather in Beijing was gradually becoming warmer, and Ji Ning didn't want the two little girls to always be stuffy in the yard.

"This son, come and see our goods, they are all from the Western Regions, and the goods that have just been imported are in good condition!"

Ji Ning stopped in front of the stall of an uncle in his fifties, which sold a lot of items from the Western Regions, all of which looked new, but Ji Ning took a closer look, and now many of them were "fakes".

To put it bluntly, it is a counterfeit forged by craftsmen in the Central Plains.

"What's the matter, this boy, pick a few if you like!" The middle-aged uncle also thought that Ji Ning might like it, and perhaps he also thought that the richest people in the capital were these generous sons.

After all, the examination is over, most of the candidates basically have no chance to enter the jinshi, and they have to prepare a little souvenir to go home, the small things from Hu Bang are naturally the most sought-after on the market, but an authentic thing from the Western Regions, the price is also very high, so fakes began to become popular, anyway, after taking it back, others have never seen the real things of the Western Regions, and they will wear and play with it as real.

"No need!" Ji Ning smiled and waved his hand, he didn't reveal it, he didn't want to destroy the uncle's business.

was about to leave, but I heard the uncle deliberately say it loudly, and said: "I thought I was a rich master, but who knew that he was a man who only watched and didn't buy!" At most, it's just a poor sour talent! ”

It's hard to say, this is also a marketing strategy, deliberately squeezing people, provoking the anger of customers, maybe you can get more business, and the price will be very high.

Ji Ning didn't even want to look sideways at the middle-aged uncle, he was about to leave, when suddenly a voice sounded: "Who said that others must buy your things?" You are a liar who came out to do business, you sell fakes here, and others don't break you when they see the problem, not because your goods are real, but because you are afraid that your old face will have no place to rest, if it is broken, you will still die headlong! ”

"You!" The middle-aged uncle looked at the sharp-toothed "little white face" in front of him, and was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

And Ji Ning watched with interest from the side, and didn't help, and didn't even go to say hello to the "little white face".

"I'm angry, old and old...... When does the old thing become a fake? Folks, you give a fair evaluation, the old man is a serious businessman! As soon as the middle-aged uncle saw that he was being watched, a group of people came up to join in the fun, and many people pointed fingers at him, and even affected his business.

Ordinary people have never seen anything in the Western Regions, how can they tell him the truth from the fake?

It's just that the people who have good things like to come to join in the fun, so they went up and looked at it and said, "Oh, it's really the real thing, this little boy is out of sight, right?" Ha ha! ”

"Who is the little son, you are the big boy, right?" Little White Face said angrily.

She wanted to continue to say something, but was stopped by a taller man behind her and said, "Don't be reckless!" ”

But seeing Zhao Yuanqi coming out anxiously, he quickly asked people to disperse the crowd of onlookers, and the person who was arguing with the middle-aged uncle just now was not someone else, it was Zhao Yuanqi's sister, Zhao Yuanxuan, who came out to play in men's clothes.

At this time, Zhao Yuanxuan's mouth tightened, first glaring at the middle-aged uncle who was pulled away, and then squinting at Ji Ning, as if blaming Ji Ning for not helping her speak.

Zhao Yuanqi asked the guards to go up and make peace, and finally gave a few pennies to settle the matter.

"Yongning...... Forgive me, she didn't mean to spoil your interest! Let's go, find a place to talk! Zhao Yuanqi came over and saluted Ji Ning, Ji Ning also returned the salute, and Zhao Yuanqi immediately invited Ji Ning to speak.

Ji Ning was worried when he saw the two brothers and sisters at this time, after all, the two brothers and sisters were now characters he couldn't afford to provoke.

But the prince and the county lord came in person, and Ji Ning didn't have a problem, he was even wondering if Zhao Yuanqi was sending someone to follow him, why he was directly found by the brother and sister before he came out of the teahouse and didn't wait to go home.

When the words come to the lips, there are still some things that cannot be asked.

……

……

went to the teahouse again, and Ji Ning put hot tea in front of him again.

This time he couldn't drink it himself, he had drunk a stomach of tea before, and he hadn't made a compliment yet, which would make it a little embarrassing for him to drink tea again.

"Yongning, after the end of the exam, I have always wanted to discuss with you the exam questions of this exam, I don't know how you feel?" After Zhao Yuanqi sat down, he seemed to be a child with a strong desire for knowledge, and asked when he came up.

Ji Ning said indifferently: "The answer is just average, I don't think it's difficult, but it's not easy!" ”

"That's right, the questions of this examination are decent, I have also read the questions carefully, but I see that there are many of them, in fact, they are also used in the past imperial examinations, and there may be differences in the direction of the discussion, as for the difference, in fact, it is necessary to discuss more, especially according to the preferences and habits of the two examiners and the thirty-six same examiners!" Zhao Yuanqi said.

Ji Ning should have expected what Zhao Yuanqi was talking about, and sure enough, Zhao Yuanqi invited, "In three days, there will be a literary meeting in Chongwang's Mansion to discuss the content of the test, which is held by me, is Yongning interested in coming?" ”

Once it was impossible to let Tang Xie and the others tell him first, this time he actually came to invite him in person, and Ji Ning felt the pressure.

It's not easy to refuse in front of him, just when he hesitated, Zhao Yuanxuan said disdainfully: "It can't be that you didn't do well in the exam, and you don't dare to face so many sons, right?" The people invited this time are all talents from the surrounding areas of Jinling City, as well as talents from Jiangnan, as well as Qin Feng and others, don't you boast that your talent must be better than him? ”

Ji Ning said: "I have never said this before!" ”

"Hmph, although you don't say it, you also mean it, do you think I don't know?" Zhao Yuanxuan said angrily, turned his head to the side, and left the opportunity to speak to his brother.

Zhao Yuanqi said: "Yongning, although I also know that you need to rest, but after all, it is just a literary meeting, and it can't delay you for too long, so it's good to discuss academic matters and let people know your talents." How is it? ”

Ji Ning thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.

Many times, the more he tries to escape, the more something comes to him, and he has nowhere to hide.
