Chapter 163: Twists and Turns

After writing the letter, Ji Ning walked out of the study, walked into the hall, and personally handed the letter to the people of the Qin Mansion who delivered the letter.

After receiving the letter, the people of the Qin Mansion respectfully saluted Ji Ning, and then left the Ji Mansion.

After the Qin Mansion left, Ji Ning clearly saw Yu Ling with a small mouth, obviously a little unhappy.

Ji Ning suddenly felt a little headache, he cared about Yu Ling's attitude, but Qin Yuanyuan was really good to him, so he didn't have to say anything.

When he was just kicked out of the Ji Mansion and moved into the current Ji Mansion, Qin Yuanyuan funded him almost unconditionally, especially when he was persecuted by Ji Jing's joint letter, Qin Yuanyuan stood firmly on his side and gave all kinds of strong support.

Besides, he does have a good impression of Qin Yuanyuan.

Therefore, he could only pretend not to know, and said with a smile: "Haha, the hour is not early, let's leave for the academy." ”

"No." Yu Ling replied and obediently went to pack up and prepare things.

After taking the carriage to Sanwei Academy, Ji Ning did not give lessons to the students, and concentrated on studying the Four Books and Five Classics in the study.

However, at the end of the day, Yu Ling suddenly entered the study to report, and Liu Ruye's personal maid Xiaojuan asked to see her.

"Bring her in." Ji Ning put down the book "Mencius" that he was studying in his hand and instructed Yu Ling.

"No." Yu Ling answered, turned around and went out to invite Xiaojuan.

Ji Ning was a little puzzled, didn't he just get together last night to talk? It's only been a night, why did someone send someone to look for me the next morning?

After thinking about it, Yu Ling led Xiaojuan into the study.

After Xiaojuan respectfully saluted Ji Ning, she took out a letter and offered it.

After handing over the letter to Ji Ning, Xiaojuan took two or three steps back to her original position, and continued: "My young lady implores that Ji Gongzi can read the letter on the spot." ”

Ji Ning shook his head, opened the envelope, took out the stationery, and then read.

The letter didn't last long, and he read it quickly.

It probably means that Liu Ru very tactfully expressed that she hoped to ask him for benefits alone again, and asked him when he was free. The other is to explain why you didn't leave him a letter directly last night.

Looking at the letter, Ji Ning's heart inexplicably rose two points of men's vanity, and he was actually invited by two beauties.

You must know that whether it is Qin Yuanyuan or Liu Rus, in Jinling City, she is the woman that many men dream of.

After reading the letter, Ji Ning groaned slightly, then raised his eyes and said to Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan, go back and ask your young lady for guilt on behalf of Ji." Ji has been doing his homework very hard in the past few days, and I implore that after four days, I will personally ask your young lady to ask for guilt in person. ”

Although he was also looking forward to meeting Liu Ru is alone and enjoying Liu Ru is fairy sound and singing, he still chose to suppress his desires. At present, the focus is still on academics, and we must not delay the imperial examination next autumn because women have wasted their homework.

This afternoon, he had already agreed to go to the Qin Mansion, so it was better to push back the matter of meeting with Liu Ru alone. If Liu Ru is unhappy because of this, then there is no way.

Xiao Juan obviously didn't expect that instead of agreeing, Ji Ning pushed back the time by four days, and was immediately unhappy.

I don't know how many people in Jinling City want to see my young lady but can't, my young lady put down her daughter's reserve, took a huge risk, and asked to meet you alone, but you pushed back, what does this mean? Do you look down on my young lady's background?! My young lady is out of the mud and not stained, she is in the land of fireworks and is like jade, and she hasn't even shown her face to a man, where is it worse than those famous ladies?!

"The slave will tell my young lady the truth." She suppressed the humiliation in her heart and said without emotion.

In fact, before leaving Tianxianglou, Liu Ru had authorized her to agree to the agreed meeting time with Ji Ning, but she pretended to be confused, and just told her, not immediately.

When Ji Ning heard this, he looked at Xiao Juan's expression again, and immediately knew that it was not good, and it was estimated that Xiao Juan was too sensitive to their background and had other bad ideas.

However, the words spoken are like water that has been spilled out, and cannot be recovered. Besides, he didn't want to change his mind.

"There's Miss Lao Xiaojuan." Ji Ning pretended not to know.

Next, Xiaojuan saluted, turned around and left the study, and Yu Ling sent off the guest on behalf of Ji Ning.

After Xiaojuan left, Ji Ning continued to study Mencius intently.

Mencius is eloquent and magnificent, and Zhu Xi is right, reading "Mencius" can stimulate the high ambition of Confucian and Taoist disciples.

"Yi Qian" cloud: Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement.

Zhu Zi said: "Read "Mencius" for the second time to stimulate its development. ”

Zhu Xi meant that he hoped that reading Mencius would inspire the self-confidence, self-improvement, and uprightness of the Confucian and Taoist disciples.

"Mencius Meets King Liang Xiang": "Mencius meets King Liang Xiang. Out, the speaker said: 'If you don't look at it like a human king, you will not see it and be afraid.' It can be seen how strong and fearless Mencius himself was, and how upright he was. How could a Confucian and Taoist disciple who studied Mencius day and night not be influenced by such a strong personality?

However, before Ji Ning finished chewing a sentence, Yu Ling sent Xiaojuan out and came back.

"Young master, it seems that Xiaojuan is unhappy." Yu Ling said directly.

Ji Ning nodded and responded with a "hmm".

Yu Ling immediately pouted and said, "Why? Could it be that if the young lady of her family wants to see you, young master, she must immediately agree ecstatically? But because something was delayed for three or four days, I was not happy. It makes no sense! ”

Ji Ning knew that Yu Ling was thinking about him no matter what was right or wrong, but he still had to be reasonable.

"You can't say that." He helped Liu Ru is master and servant to speak, "They come from poor backgrounds and are easily sensitive to some things. Miss Liu sincerely invited, but I postponed the time by four days, it was mine. Don't blame Xiaojuan, you know? ”

"No." Yu Ling responded, and then playfully spit out the pink little incense tongue.

Ji Ning couldn't help but laugh amused.

However, the next moment, Yu Ling immediately said worriedly for Ji Ning: "But, young master, what if Miss Liu is really angry?" ”

"Let's make amends next time we meet." Ji Ning said, and then didn't want to continue the topic and said, "Come, accompany Young Master Ben to study." ”

"No." Yu Ling responded with a smile and walked over to add fragrance to his young master's red sleeves.

said that Xiaojuan was full of grievances and took the carriage back to the Liuxiang Pavilion in Tianxiang Building.

At this time, Liu Ru was practicing in the small hall on the second floor.

Seeing Xiaojuan coming back from delivering the letter, he stopped the piano and asked, "Xiaojuan, did Ji Gongzi agree?" ”

"Miss, don't meet Ji Ning again in the future!" Xiao Juan said directly with anger.

Liu Ru was taken aback when she heard this, and then she found that Xiao Juanqiao's face was full of anger and grievances.

She hurriedly asked, "Xiaojuan, what's going on?" Is it because Ji Gongzi has a bad attitude towards you? ”

"It's not." Xiaojuan said, "It's the guy surnamed Ji who is indifferent to you. You let go of your reserve, risked being discovered, and offered to meet him privately, but he was fine, saying that his homework was urgent, and he would not meet you until four days later. This is the second time we met, he is so lazy, will he have it in the future? In the future, if he wants to spend money to redeem himself for you, he will definitely not want to! ”

"Miss, while you and he have nothing now, cut off your thoughts in time, lest your reputation be ruined by him in the future, but he refuses to redeem yourself for you, and it is you who will suffer for the rest of your life!" Xiaojuan persuaded.

After Liu Ru listened, the jade hand plucked the strings, let out a mournful sound, and sighed faintly.

(I asked for a commuter pass.) )
