Jiang Cheng used to be very conceited about his knowledge, he was a person from the city under Jinling, among the students in the land of a house, he was definitely an outstanding leader, when he arrived in the prosperous place of Jinling, he knew that a mountain was higher than a mountain, before the article in front of the prince of Chongwang, he knew that his ability was lacking.

He admires Ji Ning very much at the moment, because he has also read Ji Ning's articles, and he has a feeling that this is not like an imperial examination article written by a student at all, but more like the hand-me-down work of a certain writer in ancient times.

Wu Bei looked at Jiang Cheng coldly and said, "What are you?" ”

Jiang Cheng had the intention of making a move again, and the people next to him hurriedly stopped him, and Ji Ning also persuaded him: "The gentleman doesn't fight with the villain, Jiang Gongzi, it's better to go back and rest early, so as not to worry the family." ”

"Hmm. Ji Gongzi is right, let's go! Jiang Cheng's temper is a little impulsive, but there is still restraint, this will he don't want to fight in a place like Tianxianglou, after all, there are many people on Wu Bei's side, if you accidentally roll down from the fifth floor, someone will die, no matter which side of the person dies, he, the person who provokes trouble, must be condemned by the government, it is really unwise.

"Haha, you incompetent people, especially you, Ji Ning, after the township test is released, you will know how incompetent you are, you can't even pass the exam, so let's go back and teach honestly, and be your Mr. Xiucai!" Even if Ji Ning and Jiang Cheng and the others walked away, Wu Bei's sarcastic words could still be heard behind him.

For Ji Ning, it doesn't matter, whether he is promoted or not is not up to him Wu Bei, you Wu Bei used to show off your might only with the help of Zhang Linwu's might, Zhang Linwu is missing, and you haven't been beaten with two scars on your face?

However, Ji Ning also thought of a dangerous place, if Wu Bei insisted that this matter was related to him without evidence, then Zhang Hong's people might also be unfavorable to him.

Zhang Hong died of his son, and now he is like a mad dog, and he has to thoroughly investigate those who have a grudge against his son, and now he has to deal with it carefully, even if Shen Kang is behind him, it does not mean that he can escape the revenge of the Zhang family.

Out of Tianxianglou, there are basically no pedestrians on the street outside, after all, it is almost the end of the second watch, and the time of the future generations is counted, and it is now close to eleven o'clock in the evening, that is, the child hour. The ancients advocated sunrise and sunset, went to bed at night, got up before dawn in the morning, and stayed up late were always middle- and upper-class people, because candles were not something ordinary people could afford.

Saying goodbye to Tang Xie and the others, Ji Ning arrived at the corner of the street, and He An walked over hand in hand, after all, the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival was getting colder and colder day by day.

"Young Master, have you finished drinking? Do I need support? He An was very concerned.

"No, I'll get in the car myself and get back early." Ji Ning felt okay on his lips, but in fact, his mind was a little dizzy, and when he got into the car, he was a little drowsy after a while, and it was also because of the poor rest in the township trial tribute courtyard, he didn't plan to come out to drink and do a literary meeting immediately after the imperial examination.

The carriage stopped in front of the courtyard of the mansion, and Yu Ling's voice came from the courtyard, and she seemed very anxious: "Uncle An, why did you come back so late, is the young master drunk?" ”

"Rain Spirit." Ji Ning walked over with a smile, and the little girl shone a lantern on Ji Ning, her expression full of concern.

Yu Ling glanced at Ji Ning complainingly, but she still came over to help Ji Ning go inside, she was still sullen, Ji Ning said: "Unhappy about something?" ”

"Young master, you know that the slave doesn't want you to drink the most, drinking is easy to hurt your body, and you can ...... mess around" Yu Ling said halfway and didn't say any more.

Ji Ning smiled: "What's the mess? ”

"Well, don't talk about the slave maid, the young master will drink less wine in the future, and don't stay up late, if the master and the lady have a spirit in the sky, I will definitely hope that the rain spirit can remind the young master like this from time to time." Maybe Yu Ling also found that what he reminded was a bit beyond his duty to be a maid, so he attributed the matter to "master" and "lady".

Ji Ning nodded and said, "You reminded me too, but some of the entertainment can't be pushed away, so I went over to drink two glasses, and I still have a sense of proportion." Yuling, you should go back and rest early, I want to sleep first. ”

"No, no, the young master is full of alcohol, and it's very cold tonight, it's easy to get sick if you sleep like this, let the slave serve you to bathe and change your clothes first."

After Yu Ling finished speaking, without waiting for Ji Ning's consent, she had already turned around and walked out of the room to arrange for someone to boil water, and she would personally come over to help Ji Ning bathe.

"What a sweet girl." Ji Ning smiled and said, went to the desk, sorted out the books and papers a little, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a few missing articles written by hand on the table, he felt very strange, could it be that Yu Ling touched his desk when he was okay at night?

When Yu Ling came back, Ji Ning asked about it, and Yu Ling said with a look of grievance: "Young master, the slave doesn't know either, you don't suspect that the slave and the maid have moved your manuscript, right?" ”

"I'm just asking, even if it moves, it's just a useless manuscript, and no one is here tonight?" Ji Ning asked.

"Young master, you said that the slave and maid really remembered, when the night just arrived at the second watch, there was movement in your room, the slave and maid came to see with a lantern, there was no one, but the window was open, and the slave and maid were scared a lot, but when I came in and looked at it, I didn't find that it was moved, who knew that the thief was here to plot your manuscript. What a bad guy! Yu Ling's mouth tightened, and he said angrily.

Ji Ning said: "The family was robbed? After that, you really have to be careful, it's okay if people are fine, stay in the room at night in the future, don't run around, you know? ”

"Oh." Yu Ling nodded slightly, but looked at Ji Ning affectionately, "But the slave is really worried about the young master." ”

"Okay, don't talk about that, come and help me rub my back and soft shoulders, I like your smooth little hands the most." Ji Ning said with a smile.

Yu Ling smiled, her face was like a flower, and she happily went over to help Ji Ning with wide clothes, she has served Ji Ning for many years, although she is very embarrassed in front of Ji Ning, but there is not much shy about the two, even if Ji Ning marries a wife and has children in the future, she can follow Ji Ning as a roommate.

Ji Ning rested with his head tilted in the bathtub, and Yu Ling's little hand was pressed on his shoulder, and Ji Ning was about to fall asleep before he knew it.

In the end, it was Yu Ling who helped him up, helped him wipe off the water stains on his body, and helped him to the bed. Looking at the little girl's attentive appearance, Ji Ning felt a strong warmth and warmth in his heart, and he also wanted to take the empathetic little Xie Yu flower in his arms and cherish it, but he knew that this could not give Yu Ling any name, so he could only hold back the enthusiasm in his heart and watch Yu Ling busy.

When Ji Ning fell asleep, he would also feel a warm happiness.

When Ji Ning woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the morning, and the little canary that she had just bought for Yu Ling was chirping happily, and Yu Ling was happily washing clothes in the yard, she was happier than the canary.

"Young Master, you're awake. Early in the morning, someone outside sent an invitation, saying that he was inviting the young master to go to some palace, and the slave didn't understand it very well, so he sent the invitation to you. Yu Ling said, handed the invitation in his arms to Ji Ning, and then came over to help Ji Ning dress.

Ji Ningguang looked at the cover of the invitation, and knew that it was an invitation to the birthday banquet of the county lord of Huaizhu County, Chongwangfu.
