Chapter 701: Bringing Gifts to the Door

Ji Ning actually doesn't have any class position towards Shangguan Wan'er, because in his opinion, Shangguan Wan'er has an excellent bearing in doing great things, and he will not be completely on the opposite side of him because the altar is close to the prince, and will harm him in every possible way. Bayi Chinese Network (δΈ€)(ε…«)?. (8) 8?1 (1) Z??.? C (i) OM

He has always been friends and enemies with Shangguan Wan'er, and even he has a skin-to-skin relationship with Shangguan Wan'er.

These are the reasons why he can't be wary of Shangguan Wan'er, and now Shangguan Wan'er is still coming to spy on his relationship with the Chongwang family, and tell him about the investigation of his relationship with Zhao Yuanrong, in Ji Ning's opinion, Shangguan Wan'er now just wants to remind him and Zhao Yuanrong to be careful.

He pretended to be confused now, or Shangguan Wan'er continued to be tempted, it didn't make much sense to the two of them.

Now the two sides just don't recognize each other in some things.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Ji Gongzi doesn't want to say it, then it's not reluctant, there are some things to persuade Ji Gongzi to do it yourself, what you can spy on in the next may not be explored by people from other forces, Ji Gongzi is surrounded by enemies, if you don't even have a basic sense of vigilance, you really can't say it!" Leave! ”

Shangguan Wan'er got up and was about to leave, but Ji Ning didn't get up to see him off, because the relationship between the two of them was still very delicate.

Before, there may have been more friends and friends, but now it seems that enemies have the upper hand.

Even Ji Ning was about to blur the relationship with Shangguan Wan'er, the more delicate the relationship, the easier it was to break, and the more troubled Ji Ning felt.

This is much more complicated than figuring out other people's thoughts, he would rather compete with Chongwang, Huiwang and other forces in terms of power and strategy, rather than think about the relationship between himself and Shangguan Wan'er.

……

……

Ji Ning was already preparing to enter the Temple of Literature.

The Bachelor of Clerkship examination at the Temple of Literature has not yet ended, and he must wait until the Examination of the Temple of Literature is completely completed before he can officially enter the Temple of Literature as a Trainee Bachelor.

At this time, his literary name was still Jinshi, and even if he became a trainee bachelor, he was not a bachelor, he was still a jinshi.

On the road of Wenming's progress, he also has a long way to go, and after entering the Temple of Literature, he has not completely thought about which direction he will show.

It's just that he is tired of the battle of officialdom, so he chooses to enter the Temple of Literature and do some relatively idle errands, but now it seems that entering the Temple of Literature may not allow him to live far away from the temple.

He is still involved in the maelstrom of power.

For the next few days, he was preparing for the move.

He plans to buy a relatively large house in the capital, no longer limited to the small mansion in the Chongwenmen area, but to move to the big mansion in the east of the city.

He is still only a jinshi, so he doesn't want to be too high-profile, he just wants to buy a house with four or five courtyards, which is not a small house in the capital, and it doesn't need to be very spacious, in terms of cost, it is basically between three thousand taels of silver and five thousand taels of silver.

At this price, you can already buy a very good house.

He won't touch the original official residence, and as for the private house, it also depends on the year of construction and the geographical location of the house.

He didn't have time to find a place to repair the house by himself, and in a place like the capital, where every inch of land was at a premium, repairing the house was very time-consuming and laborious, so it was better to buy a ready-made one and clean it up a little by himself.

Because this will be his mansion in the capital, he will renovate the mansion, and now that King Hui is out of power, he doesn't have to worry about being retaliated against by King Hui's mansion, and he doesn't pay so much attention to choosing a house.

For several days, he was busy with the affairs of the house, and he wouldn't even go to see Tang Xie and Han Yu.

He didn't ask about how Tang Xie and Han Yu were distributed on errands, but Ji Ning always remembered that the three of them made an appointment to go to Li Jing's mansion together.

……

……

On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, Ji Ning's purchase of a house has basically been decided.

The house he bought around the East Fourth Archway, the corner is not bad, the focus is close to the Confucian Temple in the capital, so that if he gets an errand in the Confucian Temple in the capital, it is more convenient to enter and exit.

Even if he is assigned to the local Confucian Temple, he may usually return to the capital and need to report to the Beijing Confucian Temple, and it does not take too much time to go back and forth.

The house has just been settled, and it has not been officially transferred, and Ji Ning still needs some preparations.

On this day, he had to come out to see Tang Xie and Han Yu, because this day was the day to go to Li Jing's mansion to pay a visit, Tang Xie and Han Yu made a special inquiry, saying that Li Jing, the household servant, happened to be on vacation on this day, and several people went to the mansion, and Li Jing happened to be at home.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yongning, the prayer post has been written, and even the gift list is ready, do you think there is anything else to add? Tang Xie showed Ji Ning the prayer note and gift list.

After Ji Ning saw it, he nodded and said, "Roughly, there shouldn't be any problem, but I don't know if Li Shilang will see the guest......"

"I think it's no problem, these days, it's not strange that there are many people, we brought heavy gifts to the door, just as a courtesy visit to the people of Jinling's hometown, and it doesn't mean that you must ask him to do something, can he not see?" Tang Xie looked very confident, "Let's put it this way, my errand with the public station is basically waiting to be put down, and we have also sent someone to check it on the side of the ministry, for the time being, it should not be difficult to put a place to know the county, it depends on whether the lintel of the county government is spacious......"

Tang Xie means that it is not difficult to get the magistrate of the county now, but the difficult thing is to put the magistrate of the big county.

Not only Tang Xie and Han Yu are spending money, but other people are also using silver, it depends on who is looking for a harder relationship, and who spends more silver.

Tang Xie and Han Yu have already prepared tens of thousands of taels of silver just to buy a magistrate, which is already an exaggeration, but the problem is that these two people are not short of money, they have the confidence to buy this magistrate, such a magistrate, even if they do it for half a lifetime, they can't get tens of thousands of taels of silver, it can be said that Tang Xie and Han Yu are completely at a loss in this errand.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "Although Tang Xie and Han Yu are also from scholarly families, they have not been a jinshi in several generations, and they are more concerned about obtaining a literary name and glorifying the lintel, as for how much silver to spend, it is secondary." Just like those big businessmen, even if they want to buy a humanistic name for the students in their families, they may spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, in comparison, Tang Xie and Han Yu want to get the official vacancy of the county, and it is understandable to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Han Yu said: "Yongning, you don't need to bring any gifts to Li Shilang's mansion this time, we have prepared a few simple gifts for you, after all, you don't have something to ask for when you come to the door." ”

Ji Ning thought to himself, I really have something to ask for when I go, but it is not Li Jing who is asking for it, but Li Jing's daughter, which is still a little embarrassing.

He knew that it was useless to tell Li Jing about this kind of thing, now it was up to him to see if he could get in touch with Li Xiu'er, he wanted to face Li Xiu'er in person and ask the questions in his heart.
