When Ji Ning came out of the house, he didn't go to Tianxianglou with Lin Yi immediately, but went to a teahouse.

Just when everyone thought that he was about to pick up Liu Ru is and accompany him day and night for the next three days, he chose another way and did not go to Tianxianglou.

"Master Ji, are you ...... It doesn't seem to be the way to Tianxianglou! Lin Yi was a little confused, let him choose by himself, and it was impossible for Miss Lin not to see Miss Lin, who was so flowery, to come to a teahouse to drink tea.

But Ji Ning is so different, so Lin Yi can't figure it out.

"Just wait for me downstairs, if there's something, I'll call you!"

Ji Ning didn't even plan to take Lin Yi upstairs, Lin Yi got into the carriage in a daze, he was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't have the heart to think about what Ji Ning was going to do.

When Ji Ning went upstairs and sat down on the teahouse, an old man next to him approached this side and sat down at his table.

"It seems that this son has something to ask the old man about something?" The old man was very familiar, and he actually sat down and took the initiative to talk to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning squinted at this person and said, "You are ...... Old man Hu? ”

"Young man, it's good to be polite, call a strange elder, how should you not call the old man, this is the news you spent money to buy before, I have sorted it out, on paper, the stakes are very high, you will burn it after you read it, no more, no less, ten taels of silver, refuse to bargain!"

A piece of news is worth ten taels of silver, and it is not allowed to inspect the goods in advance, if it weren't for Ji Ning's desire to find out the news as soon as possible, he would not have been able to do such a costly thing.

"Good!" Ji Ning didn't say much, took out ten taels of silver, the old man weighed the weight, and went straight downstairs, Ji Ning asked, "If I want to look for you when I go back, where will I go?" ”

"Don't look for it, are you suing the government and letting the people from the government arrest the old man? If there's anything else, come and sit down, and occasionally the old man will come out to talk to you when he sees you! After the old man finished speaking, he took the ten taels of silver he had earned and left.

Ji Ning didn't open the letter right away, but went downstairs and left the teahouse.

There are many things, he himself has precautions, but he will not capsize in the gutter, what he will think about is to quickly verify the news at hand.

"Master, it's coming down so soon?" Lin Yigang got into the carriage, and wanted to take shelter from the wind inside, but he didn't expect Ji Ning to come down from the upper floor.

"Let's go." Ji Ning greeted.

"Where to go? Master Ji, is this going to Tianxiang Tower? Lin Yi asked.

Ji Ning said: "Go to Yuelaiju, you know!" ”

Lin Yi thought about it, the first time he saw Ji Ning was in Yuelaiju, and immediately drove to the direction of Yuelaiju, he was still muttering: "Master Ji, what's wrong?" Why don't you go to see Miss Liu, or does Master Ji wait until after dark to meet Miss Liu? ”

……

……

Yuelai Curie, Ji Ning met with Tang Jie, Han Yu and a few other friends, in addition to them, Tang Xie and they also invited a few candidates from the south to come over, these people are also long-admiring Ji Ning's talents, saying that they want to come to visit.

"Yongning, you are too, I thought you were going to meet at Queqiao, but you never wanted to meet us? Miss Liu, did you pick it up? Tang Xie asked curiously.

Ji Ning smiled slightly and said: "Even if you want to meet at Queqiao, you have to wait until the right time, it seems inappropriate to go to Tianxiang Tower this morning, right?" ”

Tang Xie laughed and said: "That's right, Yongning wants to go to Queqiao to meet after night, that's fine, let's talk more about it during the day, the matter of the Beijing Poetry Club has been settled, and the Beijing Poetry Club will be held in four days, you must know that this poetry meeting is full of talent, at least thousands of people participated, and there were also a few people in Hanlin in the court......

Ji Ning just nodded in agreement, he didn't think that this Beijing poetry would bring him any changes.

If what he pursued before was low-key, the 20,000 taels of silver spent in Tianxianglou yesterday might make him the target of public criticism, because the influence of this matter is too great, and it may soon spread throughout the capital.

Others will not talk about this matter as a romantic matter, but a meeting theory, saying that it is a dignified Jinling urban and rural trial solution yuan, and will take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to come out to prostitute it, which is simply insulting.

Others' criticism of Ji Ning will also put Ji Ning under a lot of pressure in the capital, and he himself has thought about this problem, if he can't study with peace of mind, no matter what movement occurs in the capital, others will think that he is the kind of person who does not learn and has no skills, or someone will move him closer to this aspect, and it is difficult to listen to the words.

"Poetry meeting, I will participate, but I can't expect to perform well, the most important thing is to be calm!" Ji Ning said, picked up the teacup in his hand and drank two cups of tea.

There were people I didn't know next to me who came over to say hello, Ji Ning also got up to answer, and a few people chatted a few words, and a young boy came over and said, "Yo, isn't this Ji Jieyuan?" Didn't Ji Jieyuan still play in the water with Miss Liu yesterday? Why are you in good spirits to come here today? Ji Jieyuan's spirit is really good! ”

The words are very vicious, and they seem to be very flattering, but in fact, they are returning Ji Ning to the kind of person who does not learn and has no skills.

Ji Ning was very indifferent and didn't answer such a question head-on, if others came to attack him, he would have to pay attention to it, then his life would be very sad.

"Yongning, don't pay attention to these people, after noon, you should go and pick up Miss Liu first, and I will send someone to go with you when the time comes, I'm afraid that the people from Tianxianglou will make ghosts." Tang explained, "We won't bother you in the afternoon, in short, you will try to be alone outside these days, and after three days, keep your spirit to participate in the poetry meeting, and strive to fight for our southern candidates!" ”

Ji Ning felt as if he had been pinned on high hopes and became a seeded player.

But in fact, he didn't think about showing anything at this poetry meeting, and he didn't even want to do such a thing as copying poems.

In Yuelai Curie, Ji Ning took away the last luggage left here, and went down to ask Lin Yi to help him send him back to the place where he lived.

Ji Ning didn't stay in the small courtyard for a long time, and soon came out with Lin Yi, and it wasn't until this time that he finally opened the letter and saw the contents inside: "...... Brother wall! ”

There are no superfluous words in the letter for these four words, it seems very simple, he estimated that the person who wrote the letter also deliberately did not want to reveal more content in the letter, so as not to be used by Ji Ning to make a fuss about this matter.

But Ji Ning probably knew what this thing was talking about, and the news that he was going to buy it before was related to the situation in the capital.

And the person who sold him information has a certain amount of power in both black and white.

With just four words, it gave him a major reminder that there is not only a competition for the prince in the capital, but also a fierce competition for the throne.
