Ji Ning didn't want to face Qin Yuanyuan very much, because he used to treat Qin Yuanyuan simply as a business trip with "strange goods", but he realized the hidden political purpose behind Qin Yuanyuan, Ji Ning couldn't turn a blind eye, he didn't want to be used, and he didn't want to become Qin Yuanyuan's political pawn.

Even if Qin Yuanyuan had helped him in the past, it was more akin to an exchange of interests, and Ji Ning didn't want to sell his soul for the so-called "repaying his kindness".

"Qin is in charge, it's been a long time, please inside!" In any case, when Qin Yuanyuan arrived, Ji Ning still had to invite her to talk inside.

Qin Yuanyuan smiled lightly, and there was a bit of charm in his maturity, which Ji Ning had never thought of, and he didn't know why, Qin Yuanyuan's face on this day had a little more feminine charm, and he didn't know if it was because he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, or if Qin Yuanyuan really had some changes.

The two of them entered the courtyard together, and Qin Yuanyuan was followed by two servants, who brought in the gifts, which were a box.

Qin Yuanyuan said: "Some not very valuable fabrics are for Ji Gongzi to cut a few pieces of clothing, the weather in the north is cold, and there are a few ermine furs, if Ji Jieyuan uses them, it is naturally the best." ”

"No merit is not rewarded, how can Qin Dangjia afford such a valuable gift?" Even if Ji Ning didn't open the gift inside, he would immediately excuse himself, he didn't want to have too many unclear relationship entanglements with Qin Yuanyuan, "Master Qin, you have something to talk about directly, why do you want to bring a gift?" I can't help it! ”

Qin Yuanyuan pursed his lips and smiled: "What did Ji Jieyuan say, Ji Jieyuan, as our Jinling candidate, is in a different place, it is rare to have fellow villagers, or old acquaintances, naturally he should take care of them more, I believe that if there is any difficulty in the concubine, Ji Jieyuan will not sit idly by, right?" ”

Ji Ning squinted, he was looking at Qin Yuanyuan, and thought, "Qin Yuanyuan, is it really difficult to come to the door?" ”

Yu Ling and Lin Juan'er came over, and saw Ji Ning coming to the door with Qin Yuanyuan, Yu Ling knew each other, Yu Ling hurriedly pulled Lin Juan'er to the inner courtyard, Qin Yuanyuan glanced at Yu Ling, and said with a smile: "Ji Jieyuan doesn't seem to have many servants here, so let's let the concubine send a few girls who know and are interested, and let Ji Jieyuan have a few more girls here to serve, I don't know how?" ”

Qin Yuanyuan's enthusiasm made Ji Ning feel that he was going to be used again.

In his opinion, Qin Yuanyuan belongs to a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, since he came to the door in person, he either has big trouble and must find someone to help, or he has a big business to discuss, or he has some high value.

Obviously, he has just finished the examination now, the results have not yet been announced, and even the exam papers have not been transcribed, no one in the imperial court knows what his results are, Qin Yuanyuan is not here for his value, that is, to ask for his help.

"No need!" Ji Ning said, "I live in Jingshi under the city, I just want to be quiet, and besides, the girls around me are enough, Lin Er, come and accept the gift." Master Qin, please come in and speak! ”

Ji Ning no longer refuses people thousands of miles away, since Qin Yuanyuan came to the door, he still had to receive it politely, and by the way, he asked Qin Yuanyuan what he meant.

The two sat down in the main hall, Yu Ling came up to serve tea, Qin Yuanyuan looked at Yu Ling, and said with a smile: "What a sensible girl, it is really blessed to be a girl in Ji Jieyuan's mansion, the concubine is even very jealous, and even wants to exchange with you!" ”

Yu Ling blinked, not understanding what it meant.

Jia Qin Yuanyuan, a dignified businessman in Jinling City, actually said that he wanted to exchange identities with her? How could this not make her feel awkward?

"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "Yu Ling didn't know how to respond for a while.

Ji Ning waved his hand, and he thought it was to relieve Yuling, and said, "You go down first, close the door, and don't come in without a summons!" ”

"Yes, young master!" Yu Ling held the saucer in his hand, turned around and lowered his head and walked to the door.

Qin Yuanyuan, who was still talking just now, wanted to exchange identities with Yuling, immediately frowned, Qin Yuanyuan thought to himself: "This girl in the Ji Mansion really has no rules, and she doesn't even know the most basic etiquette of retreating, is it because this Ji Jieyuan has no way to discipline her, or are these girls too arbitrary?" ”

Qin Yuanyuan is a woman with a deep feudal mentality, she is very strict with the management of her subordinates, and even has a whole set of family laws. So she couldn't understand Ji Ning's tolerant attitude towards her subordinates.

After the door was closed, Qin Yuanyuan looked at Ji Ning, as if he had something to say, and he stopped talking.

Ji Ning said: "If the Qin family has something to say, can it be that the Qin family has encountered some trouble in the capital?" ”

Since Qin Yuanyuan came to the door, Ji Ning really had no reason to avoid it, so he said it bluntly, Qin Yuanyuan's face was slightly embarrassed, and said: "Ji Jieyuan must feel that it is the concubine who has taken the liberty to disturb, and the matter is ...... It's been a few days since she was born, and the concubine has been trying to make up for it, but because of the situation, she is lonely, and there is no helper by her side, so she is still at a loss......"

Ji Ning thought to himself, what does this mean, I am the "helper who takes advantage of it"?

But listening to Qin Yuanyuan continue: "...... Ji Gongzi, that's the case, the voice of the concubine in several places in the north, because of the sudden change in the situation in winter, caused a huge deficit, so that it is impossible to make up for it with money until now, but it needs to have extra silver to spend, but now it is difficult! ”

"Oh?" Ji Ning said curiously, "With Qin's net worth, it shouldn't take much time to resolve a little difficulty in business, right?" ”

Qin Yuanyuan said: "It's not a secret, the original storage of the concubine was enough to deal with this crisis, but due to a little accident, more than 300,000 taels of silver were spent scattered in the capital, which made the concubine have difficulties in capital turnover!" ”

Ji Ning thought to himself: "The Fifth Prince has such a big appetite, and he requisitioned 300,000 taels of silver from Qin Yuanyuan at one time, is it a bit too huge?" ”

"Qin is in charge, it's not that he refuses to help, it's really ...... I don't have much silver taels on hand at all! Ji Ning said.

"Ji Jieyuan misunderstood, the concubine did not intend to come to the door to borrow money, but wanted to ask Ji Gongzi to help and make suggestions, so that the concubine could survive this crisis, if the concubine body can tide over the difficulties, the next life will repay Ji Gongzi's kindness!" Qin Yuanyuan stood up, saluted respectfully, and sent Ji Ning to kneel.

Ji Ning hurriedly helped each other, but after his hand touched Qin Yuanyuan's arm, Qin Yuanyuan hurriedly took a step back.

Through the clothes, there is physical contact between the two, which can be regarded as a more polite in this era.
