Chapter 19: The Glass Bowl
"Father, Brother Ning didn't agree immediately, but said that he would think about it." In the study of the Li Mansion, Li Ying said to Li Julin.
Li Julin nodded, asked Li Ying to step back, and when Li Ying was about to walk out of the study, he suddenly said, "Yingsen, you and Ning Zhiyuan can have a closer relationship." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand with a complicated expression.
Li Ying nodded and withdrew from the room for some reason, feeling a little depressed, this word of his own, gloomy, or a lewd monk, what did his father think, he gave himself such a name, as for Ning Zhiyuan, he has a close relationship, which is very good.
And Li Julin sat quietly for a moment, and then slowly picked up his pen and wrote
Liu Ru felt that her Ning Lang was in a bad mood, and she didn't even want to hug herself and kiss herself as badly as usual, but she didn't want to ask anything, she just wanted to quietly and tightly hug the young man lying beside her
Opening his eyes and seeing the first glimmer of light, Ning Zhiyuan smiled very contentedly, looking at the girl who was still sleeping in his arms, he kissed it, and then got up.
When you have a decision in your heart, you must prepare early
"Zhiyuan, have you really decided?" Li Dingfang looked seriously at the young man in front of him who was a few years younger than himself, but almost everyone knew about it in the entire Jinling.
"Of course," Ning Zhiyuan replied firmly, "Dingfang, as I said, I will not oppose the Ming Dynasty, so being at the border outside the customs is the best choice." ”
"But it's all about being alive. Ningxia is connected to Shaanxi, the people are constantly changing, the external Tatars are not stopped, and the invasion is not stopped, how to live. Li Dingfang said.
"Of course it's important to be alive," Ning Zhiyuan suddenly laughed and said, "Many people think that the poems I write are very good, but I always feel that something is missing, so my favorite is not a sad lyricist like Su Shi and Li Yu." ”
"Why don't you take Wu Hook and recover the fifty states outside the Guan. This is my ideal. His eyes looked straight at Li Dingfang, "Reading for the rise of the Han people is also my goal." ”
Li Dingfang was silent for a while, and said, "Then how do you want to arrange it." ”
"A thousand people will be taken away, a thousand people will be scattered, and five hundred people you will stay in Jinling." Ning Zhiyuan said directly, it was obvious that he had thought it through
Unconsciously, the Qinhuai River began to spread that Ning Jieyuan was about to go to Ningxia to serve as the prefect, some people regretted, some admired, and some gloated, but this could not change Ning Zhiyuan's beautiful life law of training during the day and visiting the kiln at night.
Life is so delicate, and his glass is also produced just right.
Returning home, Ning Zhiyuan did not retreat immediately after habitually singing two songs, but slowly took out a cup and handed it to everyone to see.
"Do you recognize what this is?" After a while, Ning Zhiyuan asked.
The quality of this glass is also good in Ning Zhiyuan's opinion, it is relatively smooth to start, and he believes that no matter which dynasty it is, there will be luxury goods, so it must be sold at a good price.
"Don't you smell the luminous cup of pipa wine, this is the luminous cup." When everyone was silent, Li Ying spoke, and winked at Ning Zhiyuan by the way.
The existence of Tuo is indispensable in any era, Ning Zhiyuan is very proud, this Li Ying was invited by himself to raise the price.
"What Brother Li said is very true, but there is another name for this thing." Ning Zhiyuan replied with a smile, "In Journey to the West, the curtain general broke one such cup, so he was demoted to the mortal world, which is enough to see the preciousness of this thing. ”
"Glass?" Everyone in the audience exclaimed, with the fame of Journey to the West, it is difficult for everyone here to say that they are readers if they have not read it, although it was once recognized as a banned book during the Jiajing period, satirizing the absurd behavior of the emperor's alchemy, but once the ban is lifted, it will sweep the entire declining Ming Dynasty like a wind, and what you can't get is always the best, and everyone who reads thinks so.
Ning Zhiyuan nodded lightly, "It's indeed called a glass cup, and its characteristic is that the whole body is transparent, so what do you think?" ”
"The price of such a divine object should be quite expensive." Li Ying once again said Ning Zhiyuan's intentions very kindly, and everyone downstairs was shocked at first, and said in their hearts, such an item is used to sell? Where can we afford it?
Many wealthy businessmen are ready to move, they have money, but they have no status, even ordinary farmers are not as good, if there is such a 'sacred object' to go back to the town, it seems to be good
"I do want to sell this thing today, you see, the price of one hundred taels is suitable?" Ning Zhiyuan pretended to be innocent and said.
There was silence down there.
"I buy, I buy." Li Ying took the lead in speaking, his tone seemed impatient, Ning Zhiyuan was very happy, and secretly praised this second generation of officials, it is really worthy of being a professional for 20 years.
"I want it, I want it too"
"And me, and me"
The atmosphere below was instantly exploded by Li Ying, which made Ning Zhiyuan a little surprised, but this is okay, Ning Zhiyuan showed a smile on his face, and he could start his plan
"But you all want it, what if I only have one here?" Ning Zhiyuan said again with some innocence.
"In this way, Ning Gongzi, how about I pay one hundred and fifty taels? You sell it to me. When Ning Zhiyuan heard it, he was happy, shouldn't it, why did someone snatch Li Ying's lines?
I couldn't help but turn around and look at the person who spoke, and I was even more surprised, my feelings were still acquaintances, "Zhang Yuanwai, but I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Ning Gongzi is now a famous figure in Qin Huai, so he is naturally very busy." Zhang Zhong said with a smile, this is exactly Zhang Zhong, who bought Ning Zhiyuan's three acres of land when Ning Zhiyuan first came, but his expression was completely different from that day.
"Brother Ning, I'll pay two hundred taels and sell it to me." Li Ying said again.
Ning Zhiyuan smiled and nodded with Zhang Zhong, then looked at Li Ying, and then looked at the many guests under the seat with expectant faces, and said, "Since this is the case, I don't make my own decisions, how about everyone who has the highest price?" ”
In Liu Ru's previous boudoir, Ning Zhiyuan and Li Xiangjun sat opposite each other in front of the board, and Ning Zhiyuan was still making tea.
"Childe is much more proficient." Li Xiangjun said with a smile, quietly looking at the young man in front of her, who was only four or five years older than her, she had seen the huge twists and turns on his body with her own eyes, but these did not kill the smile on his face.
"You have to be skilled." Ning Zhiyuan still had a signature smile on his face, and added in his heart, in another month, I will go to Ningxia. "How about tasting my tea today."
Before he could enter his mouth, Li Xiangjun smelled a faint fragrance of tea, which had never been seen before, and there was no doubt that Ning Zhiyuan's tea had made great progress.
"It's delicious." Li Xiangjun took a sip and said.
Mother Liu walked in.
"Ning Gongzi, you bought two thousand three hundred taels of silver for your glass cup, and it was bought by Li Ying and Li Gongzi."
"What?" Ning Zhiyuan was a little dizzy, this Li should not be a trust, why did he really buy it with his own money.
Seeing that Mother Liu was a little speechless, Ning Zhiyuan said, "Mother Liu has something to say." In fact, he had already vaguely guessed a little in his heart.
"Regarding Yin'er's question, Childe has earned almost 10,000 taels of silver for us today, so he won't come tomorrow." Mother Liu said, and handed Ning Zhiyuan a contract, which was Liu Ruyi's deed of sale.
Ning Zhiyuan took it and looked at it, nodding slightly, he had been here for about twenty days, and he earned five hundred taels for Liu's mother a day, which was indeed expected.
"If that's the case, then I won't be here tomorrow." Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile.
