Tang Xie and Han Yu don't care about silver, even if there are many sons of wealthy families who are admitted to the Jinshi, but if they want to compare their financial resources with the two of them, there is still a certain gap.

But Ji Ning is also not short of money.

Ji Ning had already earned fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver just by buying and selling big seals and small seals in the capital, not counting the income he earned from selling oracle bone inscriptions and big seals in Jinling City.

Now Ji Ning's net worth is also very expensive, he spent some silver in the Temple of Literature before, in order to make his entry into the Temple of Literature smoother, and he also found that it is really easy to do things with silver.

Maybe it's the tradition of the Huaxia Kingdom, but all those who have the power like to use their power for personal gain, and it is almost impossible to do things without spending money, even if they are taken care of in the Temple of Literature, they have to take out a large amount of silver as a backing, Ji Ning knows that it will take a long time to change an era with his own ability, and he will not engage in unruly and unruly things in this era, and appropriately take out some silver to make his life in the Temple of Literature a little better, he thinks that this silver is worth it.

Ji Ning met with Tang Xie and Han Yu, and he didn't discuss anything too important.

After all, Tang Xie and Han Yu will run for the matter of releasing the magistrate to the county in the next step, listening to Tang Jie's meaning, there are only five or six vacancies in the magistrate of the big county this time, and there are some old officials competing, in fact, the competition pressure is very great, and the two of them are ready to use 20,000 taels of silver each to buy a position in the magistrate, which is already a crazy thing in his opinion.

After all, even if there is corruption in the local area, it is impossible for a county magistrate to embezzle tens of thousands of taels of silver in a three-year term, and this transaction seems to be a loss.

But the two of them don't seem to have a reason to avoid it, because they don't care about getting promoted and getting rich, but just want their family to change from a rich family to a wealthy family.

In this era, although the power of the gate valve has been basically broken, the prejudice in the society is still there, and those who come out of the wealthy family will also be admitted to the Jinshi, and they will have more opportunities than the poor scholars.

Even Ji Ning knows this truth, even if he is from a prestigious family, but because he has no power behind him to support him, he is not very smooth on the road to the imperial examination, there are always many people who want to try to embarrass him, how much thanks to Shen Kang behind him, otherwise the power of the Zhang family alone will make it very difficult for him.

……

……

The next thing Ji Ning has to do is to communicate with Miss Li and see what Miss Li thinks about entering the palace.

He originally thought that doing this was a bit nosy, after all, the young lady of the Li family didn't ask for help from him, and he didn't even get in touch with him after he arrived in the capital, so it would seem indecent for him to say that he wanted to help people.

So getting Ms. Lee's opinion is the most important thing.

Ji Ning has enough insight and ability in many things, but only emotionally, he can't sort out many things.

It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, Ji Ning knows that he is not very mature in terms of feelings, but he also knows how he feels about "Miss Su", he knows that the person he wants to marry is Su Pujia, but until now, he still hasn't figured out some things.

"Miss Su asked Miss Li to convey the letter on her behalf, which seems reasonable, but after so long, the Su family hasn't found any clues? Why would Miss Li support Miss Su so much in this matter, isn't she afraid of being misunderstood, saying that she has a relationship with me, a declining prince? ”

Ji Ning is speculating on some things, and Jin may have to do everything in detail.

But only in this matter, he felt a mess in his mind, and he didn't know why.

If he knew that he had been mistaken about this problem from the beginning, and even people had been confused by him, he would have immediately sorted out all his thoughts, and it was precisely because of his ingenuity and the logic of the matter that he would have doubts about this matter and have to seek verification.

Ji Ning had an experience when the letter could not reach Miss Li, and this time he wrote again, and he had a lot more experience.

Ji Ning knew that Miss Li was staying at home, and it was almost impossible to send the letter to Miss Li through the acquaintance and the domestic servant.

As long as the letter falls into the hands of the domestic servant, Li Jing is bent on letting his daughter enter the palace, and it is impossible not to check the letters from outside with unknown identities and origins, and the matter may leak out.

The method that Ji Ning thought of was not complicated, that is, to let Nalan Blowing Snow visit the Li Mansion at night, and let Nalan Blowing Snow send the letter.

After waiting for a day, let Miss Li write the letter and let people send it out, or leave it in the place where she received the letter in her own courtyard, although this will make Nalan Blowing Snow a certain danger, because Ji Ning still doesn't know Miss Li's attitude towards this matter, if the letter is detected, or Miss Li has doubts about this matter, then Nalan Blowing Snow is likely to be embarrassed by the Li family's people using an ambush.

But in order to help a woman who once had a favor to herself, Ji Ning also felt that this matter was necessary.

It's a big deal to let Nalan blow the snow a little more carefully, and don't fall headlong into the trap.

……

……

After writing the letter, Ji Ning asked Nalan to blow snow and send it to the Li Mansion overnight.

In order for this matter to go smoothly, Ji Ning also has a request for Nalan Blowing Snow, and he must go first to investigate Miss Li's residence.

The Li Mansion is relatively large, and as for the inner family members of the Li Mansion, they should live in the backyard, but the specific courtyard and which room they live in still need to be carefully investigated by Nalan Blowing Snow.

If it is dark again, Nalan Blowing Snow is likely to get lost after entering, Ji Ning thought of a way to let Nalan Blowing Snow wear a night coat and go to the Li Mansion when he first went on the shift, so that everyone in the Li Mansion can have a general understanding of the courtyard in and out.

Because the Li Mansion is not as guarded as the palace or the princess's mansion, Ji Ning still has confidence in Nalan Blowing Snow.

Even if it was discovered, Ji Ning believed that with Nalan Blowing Snow's martial arts, he would still be able to escape from Li Jing's mansion.

After all, Li Jing is just a household servant, and since Li Jing has no experience as a feudal official outside, he has not heard of the person who wants to assassinate him, and even if Li Jing brings an entourage, the focus is on protecting his own safety, and there are only some guards in the backyard of the Li Mansion, and no one should be staring at these places in the corner.

Ji Ning waited outside the Li Mansion for a long time, and Nalan blew the snow before she came out, and she was a little confused: "There are a lot of women living inside, which one are you talking about?" ”

Ji Ning wanted to describe the Li Xiu'er he had seen, but unfortunately what he saw that day was only Su Pujia, and he was not very impressed, so he didn't know how to describe it for a while.

"Why don't you come in with me?" Nalan Blowing Snow looked at Ji Ningdao.

"It's a little inconvenient for me to enter here, so you should go by yourself, I'll wait for you outside!" Ji Ning didn't plan to climb the wall of Li Jing's house from the beginning.
