After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the next day, Sanwei Academy resumed normal classes.

Ji Ning, as usual, took a carriage to Sanwei Academy in the morning.

Arriving at Sanwei Academy, he jumped off the carriage just now, and was immediately greeted by a member of the Li Mansion who was guarding the gate of the academy early.

"Ji Gongzi." The Li Mansion Ding saluted respectfully and shouted, and at the same time presented a letter to Ji Ning, "This is your letter." ”

Ji Ning bowed his head with an "um" and took the letter.

Yu Ling next to him didn't need Ji Ning's hint, and had already taken out a tael of silver to reward the Li Mansion family.

"Thank you Gongzi Ji for the reward." The Li Mansion saluted happily.

He helped Li Xiu'er send letters to Ji Ning many times, and he was already familiar with his face.

Entering the Sanwei Academy and entering the study, Ji Ning sat at the desk and opened the letter of "Su Pujia".

Seeing the familiar handwriting of Juanxiu's aura, Ji Ning couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Last night's tryst behind the rockery in the Chongwangfu Garden made his good impression of "Su Pujia" improve a lot.

Holding her little hand last night, the soft and boneless, delicate and tender feeling still remained on his hand, and the nose seemed to still have the virgin fragrance of her body. Also, from time to time, the beautiful face that pretends to be generous in the moonlight comes to mind.

However, in the next moment, he couldn't help but think of how Yu Ling and He An strongly disliked Su Pujia, which made his eyebrows condense.

He completely regarded Yu Ling and He An as relatives, and it was impossible to ignore their attitudes.

It's just that, in the eyes of the current people of the earth, Su Pujia himself is not wrong. The pursuit of freedom of love and marriage was originally correct, at least in his own opinion.

This is an annoyance, Ji Ning shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and looked at the letter of "Su Pujia" intently.

This time the letter was a bit long, with a total of three pieces of stationery. The main thing is to congratulate him on the fact that he raised his eyebrows in the Chongwang Mansion last night, and then warn him that the Wu Mansion behind Wu Bei is very powerful, and let him be careful of the Wu Mansion's revenge. "The big backer actually has to leave Jinling City in two years!" Ji Ning looked at the content of the letter, and couldn't help but be surprised and said secretly, "Two years of growth is a bit short. Miss Su is right, I really have to raise people in the imperial examination next year. “

He pondered: "This world is the world of scholars, and fame is the foundation. Yin Xiucai is indeed a little lower, and no one pays attention to being run over to death casually, at least he has to have a reputation for raising people. ”

Then, he couldn't help but think: "I didn't expect that the battle between the Confucian and Taoist factions and academies would be so fierce, and the position of the Confucianism and Daoist would have to sit in turns, and with the status of a big backer, he could only be the Confucianism of Jinling City for three years." Moreover, after leaving office, he was also forbidden to stay in Jinling City. ”

After reading Li Xiuer's letter, Ji Ning thought for a while, and then wrote a reply to "Su Pujia".

After handing over the reply letter to He An and sending it to the Li Mansion, Ji Ning gave lessons to the students as usual.

Before teaching the children to read and write, they will tell an inspirational story.

Maybe it's because the story is told too much, but now he tells the story, and the very plain inspirational stories can also be told in a fascinating way. The students were greatly encouraged by what they heard, and they were even more eager to read and write seriously and change their fate.

Towards the end of the day, when Ji Ning was concentrating on asking the students to read and write, he noticed that the light at the door of the classroom was dimming, so he turned his head to look and found He An standing at the door looking for him.

Ji Ning finished teaching the last two words, let the students look at the words on the wooden board by themselves, practice writing on the sand table with willow branches, and then step out of the classroom and into the study.

"Young Master." He An saluted with joy on his face.

Ji Ning smiled and asked, "Uncle An, what's the matter?" ”

"Back to the young master, the Chongwang Mansion sent someone to send the Chongwang and Princess Wenren you obtained last night to our house. Also, the one hundred and three scholars owe you two hundred taels of silver each, and the Chongwang Mansion has also temporarily advanced money to send them over. He An said, "The people from the Chongwang Mansion are waiting for you to go back and receive it in person." ”

King Chong, Princess Wenren, and the silver taels of Xu Hai'an and others added up to 35,000 taels in total, and he really needed to receive them personally.

Ji Ning nodded and said calmly: "I know, wait for me to talk about the academy, and then go back." ”

"No." He An should arrive.

Half an hour later, Ji Ning returned to Ji's house in a carriage, and saw a group of stubborn soldiers parked in front of the gate, protecting six or seven large wooden boxes with red seals carried by carriages.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, even gold and silver, occupy an equally staggering amount of space.

Not only that, but there were many people watching it.

With Ji Ning appearing, everyone couldn't help but look at it in unison, their eyes full of envy.

only participated in a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Chongwangfu, and in less than two hours, he harvested money that many people could not earn in several lifetimes.

Zhao An, the chief butler of Chongwang Mansion, greeted him with a smile on his face, and bowed his hand: "Master Ji, congratulations." Zhao was ordered by the prince and the princess to send the rewards of the prince and the princess last night, as well as the silver taels of the prince's advance to Xu Haian and others, to your mansion. ”

"Hehe, thank you. Butler Zhao has worked hard, please come in the house. Ji Ning bowed his hand and said in return, and then made a gesture of please.

Entering the courtyard of Ji Mansion, Zhao An first asked Ji Ning to accept the reward.

Ji Ning asked Xu An and Yu Ling to accept it, and he invited Zhao An into the hall to entertain him.

However, there was also a palace girl who entered the hall with Zhao An.

The palace girl had a slender body, and her face was covered with a white light veil.

Entering the hall, without waiting to sit down, Zhao An first introduced the palace girl to Ji Ning and said, "Ji Gongzi, this is Princess Wenren's close attendant, Lord Zixuan." ”

"Ji Ning has seen Lord Zixuan." Ji Ning bowed to the girl in palace clothes.

Zixuan also returned the salute and said, "Master Ji." ”

After the salute, Zixuan took out an invitation card and said to Ji Ning: "Master Ji, the princess is invited." I hope you can go to Chongwang's Mansion today, and the princess has something important to talk to you face-to-face. Don't shirk. ”

As she spoke, she handed the invitation to Ji Ning.

Looking at the invitation delivered to him, Ji Ning didn't take it immediately, his mind was racing, thinking about Princess Wenren's intention to invite him to meet.

Before participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival, for the sake of his own safety, he learned some information about King Chong and Princess Wenren.

According to his analysis, the so-called Wenren Gong mainly used the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting to select horses, which is simply the imagination of the genius of Jinling City.

Thinking that he was not recruited as a colt, Ji Ning stretched out his hand to take the invitation, and said calmly: "Lord Zixuan, please tell Her Royal Highness the princess, Ji Ning will definitely meet on time." ”

"Okay." Zixuan said.

Zhao An kept an eye on Ji Ning's expression, and found that during the whole process, Ji Ning didn't have a trace of surprise, and even had a trace of doubt when he took the invitation.

He couldn't help but admire Ji Ning's city government a little. If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would already be ecstatic. Even though the princess is not really a concubine, there is a great chance that she can be summoned alone.

At the beginning, he was forced to personally come to the door to deliver an invitation to Ji Ning, and he was somewhat resentful in his heart.

However, last night Ji Ning was in the limelight at the poetry meeting, and all the talents present at the meeting were all overshadowed under the light of Ji Ning, and now he is favored by Princess Wenren, and he, the big housekeeper of Chongwang's Mansion, is convinced.

However, he didn't know that Ji Ning didn't want to accept Princess Wenren's invitation at all, let alone be recruited as a colt.
