Chapter 694: Calm and Cold
Yun Wu is the kind of woman who does not admit defeat, although she has not been out of the clan for a few years and does not know much about the outside world, but she has an innate conceit.
Although she also respects Qi Niang, she doesn't believe in what Qi Niang taught her, maybe she is in a rebellious period as a girl, Qi Niang doesn't let her do anything, she just wants to try.
It's like Qi Niang's admiration for Ji Ning now, which makes her feel that her self-esteem is very hit, she doesn't believe that an ordinary man like Ji Ning can influence the situation, and she doesn't believe that her skills are inferior.
She has always felt that she is very smart, and now she wants to suppress Ji Ning, and see Ji Ning's sloppy and unlucky side, which will make her feel a sense of accomplishment.
Yun Wu thought to herself: "She's just a weak scholar, she offended me at the beginning, see how I teach him!" ”
Ji Ning didn't know that the enemy he offended was still targeting him, and he might even continue to come to harass him in the future, so that he would not get tired of it.
……
……
After the end of the ceremony, the capital is still very calm from the outside.
But secretly it was already choppy.
After Zhao Kangzheng returned to the palace, he did not immediately issue opinions on the disposal of those traitors, and he did not seem to be in a hurry to investigate the culprits behind the scenes, so the matter was temporarily put aside, and no one seemed to pay attention to it.
King Hui and Uncle Li were temporarily suspended, and Uncle Li Guo's errand of the Ministry of Industry was temporarily handed over to others, and he was not qualified to ask about court affairs anymore.
As for Concubine Li Guifei, although she did not die after taking the pill, she was also frightened a lot, and she was temporarily sent to the cold palace after returning to the palace.
And the two women that Zhao Kangzheng got at the banquet that day, pretending to be the princess of Cheshiguo, and Zhao Yuanying, the lord of Minshan, were very favored, and Zhao Kangzheng did not ask about the court for several days, and kept in the inner palace.
Very few people in the court know about Zhao Yuanying's entry into the palace, even if someone knows, they don't dare to publicize it, after all, this involves a scandal involving the royal family, and Zhao Yuanying is not officially canonized at the moment, but depending on the situation, the emperor will hide Zhao Yuanying's true identity, and give Zhao Yuanying another identity, because the emperor himself is afraid that his ugly deeds will be exposed.
Zhao Yuanrong didn't go to Xiaoju for a few days, she seemed to be angry with Ji Ning, and although Ji Ning occasionally went over to take a look, every time he found that during the time he left, Zhao Yuanrong didn't seem to have passed.
Xiaoju doesn't seem to be the home of the two, nor does it seem to be the link between the two, but it seems to have become a sad place for Ji Ning's memories, every time Ji Ning passes, there will always be an inexplicable sadness.
Even Ji Ning would find it a little ridiculous.
Getting Zhao Yuanrong and temporarily losing Zhao Yuanrong were all things that happened within a few days, and he could see that Zhao Yuanrong still had a dependence on himself, but Zhao Yuanrong was always the princess of the court. Ji Ning thought to herself: "Now that the royal family is fighting among themselves, before all the results come out, she must have to taboo some things." It's understandable that she didn't come. ”
Ji Ning didn't mind much about Zhao Yuanrong's temporary visit.
Just like what Zhao Yuanrong said when he was with him, Zhao Yuanrong would not admit his identity as a colt, nor did he need him to fulfill the responsibilities of a colt, the two were just a formal couple together, and there was no sense of responsibility at all.
Ji Ning seems to feel that he has made a very unreliable girlfriend in this era, and this girlfriend will not give him respect as a boyfriend at all, and will leave him in the cold for the sake of his career.
But Ji Ning himself is not the kind of person who likes to mess around, he has a little appreciation for Zhao Yuanrong, which is why he chose to be with Zhao Yuanrong.
……
……
In the next few days, Tang Xie and Han Yu were busy preparing for the Hanlin Academy's Jishi exam, while Ji Ning himself was preparing to enter the Confucian Temple.
Although he was "escorted" to the Temple of Literature, he also needed to enter the Temple of Literature with the people who had taken the Temple of Literature Undergraduate Examination later, because the Bachelor of Writers' Examination in the Temple of Literature was about ten days later than the Hanlin Academy's Shuji Shi Examination, so Ji Ning would not officially enter the Temple of Literature until mid-April.
Before that, his identity had always been a jinshi.
In the past few days, he has been concentrating on writing articles in the style of the big seal at home, and in addition, he is also writing the small seal.
In terms of the degree of demand in the market, the demand for small seals is obviously much greater than that of large seals, after all, it is difficult for ordinary rich people to come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy large seal articles, but small seal articles, because the value is only hundreds of taels to thousands of taels ago, and even some inferior small seal sacrifices only need dozens of taels of silver, which makes the small seal market appear very prosperous.
Ji Ning didn't want to think about the articles in the small seal style before, but he found that the big seal text he wrote was actually used in the Great Yong Dynasty's Feng Zen ceremony, if his articles continued to be so popular, it is likely that someone behind him would find out that these articles were written by him, which was not conducive to his fortune plan.
Anyway, for him, the number of small seals written in a day can reach more than ten, and the quality of the small seals he writes is absolutely superior, at the end of the day, his net profit can also exceed a thousand taels, in this era, a few hundred taels of silver is enough for a family to live for a lifetime, he can earn a day of silver that others can not earn in a lifetime, there is no need to demand too much.
The market of the Great Seal is originally so big, if he continues to impact the Great Seal market, it is tantamount to depreciating his own value, and the price of the Great Seal will also be reduced.
By the end of March, Ji Ning took the sixty or seventy small seals he had written, as well as four big seal articles to the black market to sell, this was also the last time he was going to make this deal with the people on the black market, and in the future, he would hand over the big seal and the small seal to Lin Yi's people to sell, and now he was still developing the market under Lin Yi's command, and he did not rashly start Lin Yi's business.
On the thirtieth day of March, Tang Xie and Han Yu had already completed the examination of the Hanlin Academy for a few days, and the two of them still looked muddy these days, spending almost every day in wine, and the whole person seemed a little prostration.
"Yongning, in two days, the exam of the Hanlin Academy will be released, if we can't enter the Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid we will also have to accept the distribution of the imperial court, and strive to get a county magistrate, start a little bit, you may stay in the capital, even if you go to the place, we don't have much time to get together again!" Tang Xie said with emotion.
Ji Ning said: "There is no banquet in the world, even if it really comes to that day, we don't have to be too restrained, as long as everything is as we like." First of all, I wish you both to stay in the Hallym Academy! ”
"I don't want to, I don't want to!" Tang Xie was a little annoyed and said, "I really took the Shu Jishi exam, only to know that this pool of water is very muddy, who can get into the Shu Jishi, in fact, it is not to see how talented and how to learn, but mainly to see how the relationship with those Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy, there are many cats behind it!" ”
