Chapter 205: Don't be self-sufficient

Chapter 205 is not self-explanatory

Jinluan Hall is by no means a place where anyone can go whenever they want, and after Zhou Ning handed over the certificate, he was left to wait for the summons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor summoned you to Beijing, you have to quickly put down what you are doing and run to the capital, when the emperor wants to see you in the capital, or even whether he wants to see you or not is another matter.

Zhou Ning is not in a hurry, anyway, Yunjiang County has nothing to worry about, more than eighty percent of the cases received by Zhou Ning have been closed, and the taxes that should be collected have also been collected.

Zhou Ning was glad that he was diligent, he didn't delay what he should do, and he didn't worry about half of it. Speaking of worrying about him, the most important thing in his heart now is Lu Ming, saying that he is in Yunjiang or in the capital, it is the same for Lu Ming.

When officials from other places come to Beijing, most of them have to visit the homes of the ministers in Beijing, which means to check around. Zhou Ning is not so busy, he has no relatives and friends in the capital, let alone wants to talk to anyone.

The royal street of the capital is naturally a hundred times more prosperous than the county seat of Yunjiang, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, and visitors are weaving through it. Zhou Ning had no intention of wandering around, and took Lu Qing slowly towards the inn.

Lu Qing looked up and saw a pharmacy 'Dejitang', and suddenly wanted to go in and choose a few medicinal herbs, so he said to Zhou Ning: "Childe, wait for me for a while." ”

Zhou Ning wanted to accompany him in, but when he looked up and saw a jade shop next to him, he changed his mind and said, "You go, come next door to find me in a while." ”

"Yes." Lu Qing ran towards the pharmacy, while Zhou Ning slowly walked into the jade shop with square steps.

The jade shop is very large, Zhou Ning first looked at the layout of the whole room when he entered the house, the lighting of the room was very good, and the room was very bright.

Counters in circles, and oddly shaped shelves. Most of the ornaments on the counter are ornaments such as hairpin rings and fan pendants, and most of the utensils on the shelves are ornaments such as jade bottles and jade Guanyin.

Zhou Ning wanted to choose a piece of jade to decorate the crown, so he walked towards the counter where he wore the ornament. There was a person in front of the counter who was choosing something, and Zhou Ning didn't care, he was not too far or too close to the person by arm's length, and he chose something from himself.

"How much does this jade bracelet cost?" The man picked up an emerald green jade bracelet and put it on his wrist as he asked for the price.

Listening to the gentle voice of a warbler, Zhou Ning only glanced at her back just now, and when she saw her wearing men's clothes, she thought she was a little offspring. Zhou Ning turned her head and saw that she was raising her hand to look at the jade bracelet in front of the light, and the jade bracelet was just the right reflection of her 'Hao's wrists are as white as snow, and her fingertips are like onions. ’。

Zhou Ning unconsciously raised his eyes to look at her face, although he could only see a side face, it was enough to make people feel like a ghost. It is still difficult to hide the beauty of men's clothing without fat powder, just like the natural beauty of a hibiscus out of the water.

"One hundred and twenty taels." The shopkeeper calmly quoted the price, and the girl just nodded lightly, didn't say anything, and continued to look at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Zhou Ning was shocked by the words of the shopkeeper, and he had no reason to continue watching. Zhou Ning lowered his head and couldn't help but feel the drums in his heart.

He knows that there is a big defense between men and women, and he knows that people are female babies, so he should leave as soon as possible. He didn't know why he couldn't control his feet, which seemed to be welded to the ground, and he couldn't move at all, except in the direction of the girl.

Zhou Ning looked down at the pile of jade pieces in front of him, only to feel dazzled and flustered, and he couldn't see anything. It already made him feel strange that he couldn't control his feet, and what was even more strange was that he couldn't control his eyes.

I knew that I shouldn't look at it, but I couldn't help but turn around and glance again, only to see that she was wearing a light cyan satin shirt, and a hairband decorated with Hetian jade was tied on her head, revealing so clean.

The girl must have worn men's clothes for the convenience of her movements, and judging by the silk and satin she was wearing, the white and transparent of her slender fingers, she must be the daughter of a large family.

Zhou Ning forcibly withdrew his eyes, gritted his teeth and turned around, forcing himself not to look. There are more good-looking women, and Zhou Ning does not hesitate to avoid suspicion when avoiding suspicion, and he has never struggled in his heart.

The door sounded, and a young man came out of the inner room with a brocade box in his hand and handed it to the shopkeeper, who opened the brocade box, took out a white jade fan pendant and handed it to the girl.

"The fan pendant is carved, you see."

The girl took the pendant and turned to the light to look at it carefully.

"Little second brother, how much does this pendant cost?" Zhou Ning grabbed a piece of jade casually, turned around and pretended to talk to the shopkeeper, just in time to take the opportunity to see the girl's face.

If you only look at the side face, it would be fine, and when you see the face, Zhou Ning completely forgot what it was and where she was, and her eyes were almost glued to the face of the girl.

"Little Xianggong, you are holding the crown jade." The shopkeeper couldn't bear to laugh, Zhou Ning took a piece of crown jade and asked people, 'How much is the fan pendant', it was clear that the two eyes were patronizing the flowers, and the heart didn't know where to fly, and the fan pendant was in the hands of the people.

As soon as the shopkeeper spoke, the girl realized that there was such a person as Zhou Ning in this room, she smiled shyly and hurriedly turned her head.

With her smile, Zhou Ning felt that the room was full of sunshine, and her feet unconsciously took a step in the direction of others. He wanted to get to know the girl, but he couldn't open his mouth to talk.

His nervous palms were sweaty, his hands were tight, and the crown jade in his hand was in his hand, so he retracted his mind and said to the shopkeeper: "Yes, I just asked you how much this crown jade is." ”

"Thirty-two taels."

"Oh." Zhou Ning put Guanyu back without thinking about it, making people look like they couldn't afford it, but in fact, he just wanted to pick it up for a while.

Anyway, she is a man, you can pretend not to see that she is a woman, Zhou Ning deceived herself. In fact, as long as you don't do anything, there is no provision in the Dajing Law that men can't talk to women.

It's just that Zhou Ning has received a strict education since he was a child, and he must act according to the standard of 'gentleman', and when he sees an unmarried woman who can dodge, he must dodge, because not dodging will cause inconvenience to others.

This time, he didn't force himself to turn around and leave, which was already a big precedent, and he really couldn't let him take the initiative to come forward and talk to the girl's family.

Not daring to do and not daring to think are two completely different things, whether to do or not is under your own control, but whether you want to or not is really not under your control sometimes.

Zhou Ning is now really wondering whose daughter she is, and wondering if she is in the boudoir. At the same time, Zhou Ning remembered that before he rushed to the exam, his father had sternly warned him not to be self-absorbed in marriage, and for a moment, his heart was filled with layers of cold air.

At that time, he didn't think anything, his parents should decide the marriage matter, and now he really wants to be single-minded.
