Zhao Yuanxuan got the answer and result he wanted, and ran away, in the courtyard of Chongwang's Mansion with seven turns and eight turns, Ji Ning didn't know where she was going.

Ji Ning thought to herself: "Could it be that she still has a lot of connections with the Chongwang Mansion?" She once said that her surname was Zhao, could it be that she was really from the royal family? ”

With questions in his heart, Ji Ning returned to the courtyard along the way he came, at this time Tang Jie, Han Yu and others were talking to a person, and there were still a lot of people around this person, many of whom went up to say hello to Pan, it was Zhao Yuanqi, the son of King Chong, Zhao Yuanqi was wearing a white robe, and he had the style of a Confucian.

"Yongning, where are you going? I just heard that you went to the yard next door, but I didn't find you when I looked at you. When Zhao Yuanqi saw Ji Ning, he was very happy to meet the front.

"Under ...... An old friend called over to say something. Ji Ning said casually.

Zhao Yuanqi didn't go into detail, he pointed to a few old and respectful literati next to him, and said: "Yongning, I would like to introduce you to a few well-known Confucians in the Jinling Confucian academic circles, they are also people who run schools, so it's good to get closer to them." ”

In terms of the mentality of making Ji Ning friends with Confucianism, Zhao Yuanqi and Tang Xie and others are similar, they all hope that Ji Ning can make friends with famous people in Jinling City, so that people can mention more of the Sanwei Academy that he has just started schooling, in addition to highlighting his literary name, it can also let more people know about his small academy, so that the academy has more students.

These people, in the education circle of Jinling City, are also considered to be a champion-level figure, and now none of them are still in the front line of education, they are all retreating behind the scenes, enjoying the results of running a school and the fame brought to them.

Zhao Yuanqi spared no effort to praise Ji Ning: "...... Ji Gongzi has made some achievements in running a school now, and if he can get your support, he must have made immeasurable achievements in his future studies. ”

Those Confucianists at the level of Confucianism are disdainful of Ji Ning, in fact, they don't have much respect for the prince of Chongwang, the main purpose of their coming today is to meet with King Chong, and get to know more dignitaries and dignitaries who can help them run schools, but they didn't expect that King Chong did not come out, but the prince of Chongwang pulled them to carry the juniors, and they couldn't shake their faces in terms of etiquette, but indifference was the most hurtful face. They are also thinking, what kind of ghost academy did the prince of Chongwang to promote a kid who didn't even get into the academy for no reason, isn't it that the prince also has a share in this academy, and in the end, there is also a share of interests?

In these years, there is no concept of the shareholding system, but partnership academies also abound, they don't think Ji Ning has any talent, they just think that the prince of Chongwang is going to help Ji Ning speak because of interests.

Ji Ning's attitude towards knowing these people seems to be very indifferent, people disdain to know him, and he won't go to the hot face and cold ass, you look down on me, I still look down on you. Although they are not famous, none of them are Jinshi, and it is also because the entrance examination of the Great Yong Dynasty is very difficult, and the admission rate of the examination every three years is very low, which makes the Jinshi of the Great Yong Dynasty rare among students.

Zhao Yuanqi also seemed to find that these Confucian scholars were not too concerned about Ji Ning, and in order not to disappoint Ji Ning, he used the excuse to talk to Ji Ning and say goodbye to these people.

On the side, Zhao Yuanqi said with guilt on his face: "Yongning, don't mind the attitude of these people too much, maybe you are not famous now, but one day they will regret their cold treatment of you today!" ”

"The prince of the world is serious, he doesn't have the idea of competing with others for fame and fortune, no matter what the attitude of others is, all he thinks about is to be able to do his best." Ji Ning smiled calmly.

"Okay, Yongning, you have a good mentality." Zhao Yuanqi praised, "Last time I said goodbye to you in Tianxianglou in a hurry, but I couldn't enjoy the wine, why don't I set up a banquet for you in the backyard of King Chong's Mansion today, and you and I will drink together and write poems and admire the moon...... Is there a moon at night on this day? ”

Ji Ning said with a smile: "It's twenty-three now, but it's also the best time to enjoy the moon at the second quarter of the month, but it has to wait until the second half of the night, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to stay up until that time, right?" ”

"Yongning, I really want to be impressed by you, not only are you good at learning, but even astronomy and geography are so good, I heard that your arithmetic is also outstanding, I don't know when you will be able to see it?" Zhao Yuanqi said with a smile.

Ji Ning frowned slightly, when did he show his talent in arithmetic in front of the prince of Chongwang? How does he know he's good at arithmetic?

With doubts in his heart, Ji Ning said, "There is a chance." ”

"Haha, I just heard Tang Gongzi say that next month you want to hold an autumn outing to climb the chrysanthemum on the Double Ninth Festival, and this son is also very interested, I have told them, I will participate in the next month's ascending chrysanthemum, at that time the laurel list has been announced, presumably Yongning can also be nominated for the laurel list, and then I will celebrate you again!" Zhao Yuanqi said with a smile.

Ji Ning thanked him and said, "I'm afraid that it will disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

……

……

Between words and laughter, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, there were many lanterns hanging in the courtyard, and some small lampstands were used as decorations, and all the banquet tables were in the courtyard, and there were as many as three or four hundred visitors.

King Chong personally took Concubine Chongwang, who was also Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Yuanxuan's mother, out to welcome the guests, and some of the staff of Chongwang's Mansion came out with them, many of whom were also Zhao Yuanqi's husbands. When others saw King Chong coming out, they rushed forward to greet King Chong, a junior student like Ji Ning didn't even have the qualifications to make it to the top three rows, let alone say a word to King Chong.

"The prince is as blessed as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan!"

"The prince should be strong and strong!" ……

The people who went up to greet and flatter seemed to ignore a problem, today is the birthday banquet of the fifteenth birthday of the lord of Huaizhu, not the birthday of King Chong, and it is meaningless to say these compliments to King Chong.

Sure enough, King Chong said with a smile: "You can come to Chongwang's Mansion, it is a kind of trust in this king, today is the ceremony of the little girl's pearls, and it is the honor of Chongwangfu to invite you to come to watch the ceremony." Please have fun first, and when the little girl is ready, let her come out to meet the guests! ”

Many people began to compliment the county lord of Huaizhu again, saying that the county lord of Huaizhu was beautiful and beautiful, and so on, in fact, they had never even seen what the county lord of Huaizhu looked like, and these compliments were also very insincere.

The guests dispersed first, and then King Chong went to the seats to toast, Ji Ning's table was very remote, it could be said to be in the corner, but Zhao Yuanqi, who was beside King Chong, had been intentionally or unintentionally leading his father to Ji Ning's side, and he also wanted to introduce Ji Ning to his father.
