The news of Ji Ning's divorce spread throughout Jinling City on the same day, causing an uproar, and almost everyone applauded: Su Pujia, the most beautiful flower in Jinling City, finally didn't have to be inserted in Ji Ning's dog shit, which was not even as good as a piece of cow dung.

At the same time, the unmarried young talents in the entire Jinling City are all grinding their fists, preparing generous gifts, and preparing to go to the Su Mansion to propose.

As for Ji Ning, who was spurned by everyone, he worked hard in the study for a day.

He had a hunch that after the marriage contract with Su Fu was dissolved, he was no longer of much value to Ji Mansion, and he had become a complete burden, and he was likely to be swept out of Ji Mansion next, and he could only make a living on his own in the future.

In the middle of the night, Yu Ling lightly replaced the cooled tea with freshly brewed hot tea, and then replaced the candles that were about to burn out with new ones.

After completing this, she turned to look at Ji Ning, watching Ji Ning cling to a brush, focusing on practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke like a child.

"Young master, it's almost the third shift, you better rest, and work hard tomorrow." Yu Ling couldn't help but persuade, feeling quite unfair in his heart.

My young master has obviously changed his ways, and he has studied hard day and night, why does Su Fu still force the young master to withdraw from the marriage?

Ji Ning nodded the last stroke of the word "da", then stopped and smiled: "Okay." It's still quite tiring to practice calligraphy. ”

As he spoke, he put down the brush and stretched his waist, making a "beep" sound all over his body.

Yu Ling immediately brought a basin of warm water prepared and asked Ji Ning to wash his hands.

Ji Ning washed his hands, and Yu Ling took a dry towel to help Ji Ning dry the water droplets on his hands.

Held by a soft little hand, Ji Ning couldn't help but take a serious look at Yu Ling's pretty face.

I saw that under the candlelight, the big watery eyes reflected the candlelight, indescribably bright and moving, with a palm-sized melon seed face, a beautiful Yao nose, and a pink cherry mouth.

"Young master, why do you look at people like this?" Feeling Ji Ning's gaze, Yu Ling lowered his head and whispered shyly.

Ji Ning retracted his gaze, stood up, walked to the window, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the starry sky through the window.

"Yu Ling, if I am kicked out of the Ji Mansion, are you still willing to follow me?" He said.

Yu Ling followed to the right side behind Ji Ning and said, "Young Master, the slave and maid are your maids, no matter where you go, the slaves and maids will follow." ”

She is Ji Ning's person, not Ji Mansion's maid ring.

"However, without Ji Mansion, life may be very difficult, and it will be difficult to worry about food and clothing." Ji Ning said, "No, I will give you back your free body, and you will either stay in the Ji Mansion yourself, or find a good man who is hardworking and loyal to marry." ”

"Young Master!" Yu Ling knelt down and begged, "Please, don't drive the slaves away." Slaves and maids are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, hunger, and slaves are not afraid of anything. ”

Ji Ning hurriedly turned around and helped Yu Ling up, and said with some reproach: "You are really stupid, isn't it good to be a free man?" ”

"Young master, please, don't drive the slave away, okay?" Yu Ling begged with sobs, "Leave the young master, the slave is just a duckweed without roots, and I don't know where to go." ”

Seeing Yu Ling like this, Ji Ning had to sigh at the means of the ancients to cultivate Yahuan minions, and they couldn't get rid of it.

"Okay. Just stay with me. Ji Ning nodded.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! Yu Ling cried out with a smile, quickly wiping away the tears from her pretty face.

She held Ji Ning's hand diligently and said, "Young Master, you must be tired after a hard day, right?" The slave and maid will give you a beating on your back and rubbing your shoulders. ”

"Hehe, I'm almost sleeping, what are you still beating your back and rubbing your shoulders?" Ji Ning said with a smile.

"The slave waits for you to change your clothes and sleep." Yu Ling said immediately.

"Okay." Ji Ning said, walked out of the study, and entered the room next to him.

The next day, Ji Ning visited Ji Ze on time.

In the hall, Ji Ze looked at Ji Ning who was standing in front of him and said, "Yongning, how old are you this year?" ”

"Back to Uncle Tai, Yongning is seventeen years old this year." Ji Ning replied.

Ji Ze nodded and sighed: "Seventeen years old, the white horse has passed the gap." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You have been an adult for more than a lifetime, and it is time to live on your own. In two days, you will move out of the Kifu to live. ”

"Sure enough!" Ji Ning couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "However, this speed is too fast, right?" Isn't it too heartless? ”

Seeing that Ji Ning didn't speak, Ji Ze said, "You don't want to?" ”

"Uncle Tai, Yongning dared to ask." Ji Ning raised his head and said, "I moved out of the Ji Mansion, did I separate from the Ji Mansion from now on?" ”

"Huh?" Ji Ze frowned slightly in displeasure.

Ji Ningcai didn't care if this cheap uncle Zugao was unhappy, and continued: "Since it is a separation, I ask Uncle Taizu to order someone to liquidate the property, and all the honor and disgrace of Yongning outside in the future will have nothing to do with Ji Mansion." ”

Although he was mentally prepared when he moved out of Jifu and went to Su Mansion to withdraw from the marriage, this cheap uncle did too much. For the sake of Jifu's face, he forced him to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and immediately swept him out of Jifu the next day. He did get a little angry.

"Yongning!" Ji Ze screamed in a stern voice and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Of course I know, Uncle Tai, if you want me to move out of the Ji Mansion, that is to divide the family." Ji Ning met Ji Ze's gaze without flinching.

As the patriarch of Jifu, Ji Ze has accumulated prestige for a long time, when has he been bumped into by his juniors?

He exclaimed, "Good! Good! Good! Since you have a grudge, then don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

…………

At noon on the second day, the chief housekeeper of the Ji Mansion entered the Qin Garden with the tent steward holding a stack of account books, followed by a large group of slaves who watched the excitement of the Ji Mansion.

Yesterday, the matter of Ji Ning's confrontation with the patriarch and the separation of the family had already spread in the Ji Mansion, and even spread outside the Ji Mansion.

Regarding Ji Ning's expulsion from Ji Mansion, all the children and slaves of Ji Mansion applauded. For them, Ji Ning is the shame of Ji Mansion, squandering Ji Mansion's money in vain.

However, when Ji Ning asked for a separation, he was filled with righteous indignation, scolding Ji Ning for being a white-eyed wolf and an anti-bone thief, and Ji Fubai had raised him for so many years.

In the middle of the small courtyard, a long table was full of account books, and Ji Ning looked at it unhurriedly.

Yu Ling and He An, who were standing behind Ji Ning, looked angry.

Their young master actually owes Ji Fu two hundred and seventy-one taels of silver! How is this possible?

Although their young master has spent extravagantly over the years, the inheritance left by the master is more than ten thousand gold? As a talented bachelor, the master can sell hundreds of taels of silver for just writing an article and a poem!

He An remembered very clearly that when the Luzhou Mansion under the jurisdiction of Jinling City was flooded, many great Confucians in Jinling City were helpless, and the Luzhou Governor personally rushed to the capital to ask the lord to return the Dragon King's sacrifice and give a generous gift of 10,000 taels of silver.

On the other side of the long table, the Grand Butler of the Ji Mansion stood with his toes high and his stomach high, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

After a while, he finally got impatient, and said sarcastically: "Ji Ning, be happy, don't pretend here, even you can understand the account book?" The patriarch said, although you are ungrateful, Ji Fu cannot be ruthless. The money you owe is allowed to be paid off within five years. ”

Ji Ning stopped to look at the ledger and rubbed his temples.

To be honest, he didn't know how much property the cheap dad left behind, and he didn't know how much Ji Ning had squandered.

However, judging from the fact that the cheap lord's inheritance is completely controlled by the Ji Mansion, and his monthly expenses must be withdrawn from the account office, he is basically sure that the Ji Mansion should ignore his cheap father's inheritance.

As for the ledgers on the desktop, they are certainly fine on the surface.

"Hehe, that's fine." Ji Ning smiled lightly and said, "If you owe two hundred and seventy-one taels, you will have two hundred and seventy-one taels, who called Young Master Ben young and ignorant." As for repaying the money, there is no need to pretend, and it will be paid off within three days. ”

"Ji Ning, you said it yourself! Since you don't know what to do, pay off the silver taels in three days! The chief housekeeper of the Ji Mansion snorted coldly, "You are limited to get out of the Ji Mansion before dark!" ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away from Qinyuan.

The bookkeeper immediately stepped forward, took away all the account books, and left behind the chief housekeeper of the Ji Mansion.

The chief housekeeper of the Ji Mansion left, and the children of the Ji family and the slaves of the Yahuan family who were gathered at the gate of the courtyard immediately scolded Ji Ning, and kept spitting and spitting thick phlegm into the courtyard.

Ji Ning didn't bother to pay attention to these people, turned to Yu Ling and He An and said, "Let's go in and pack our luggage." ”

"Young master, Ji Fu obviously ignores us a lot of silver taels, and he also beats a rake." Yu Ling shouted with red eyes, almost crying.

He An also shouted unwillingly: "Young master, why don't we report to the official?" It's so deceitful! ”

Ji Ning waved his hand with a faint smile and said, "It's just some money, it's completely worth it to be free." ”

After speaking, he crossed Yu Ling and He An, walked towards the house, and said with a loud smile: "I am born, I must have it, and my daughter will come back when she is gone." Hahaha......"

The children of the Ji family and the slave Yahuan, who were scolding Ji Ning at the gate of the courtyard, heard this, and they all involuntarily quieted down and recalled this poem, which was indeed open-minded. However, after a few moments, they became even more vitriolic and vicious.

"Don't be ashamed! Arrogant! ”

"What kind of shit is born with me, just a piece of shit|shit is also called born with talent? Bah! ”

"Dog poop can also be used as fertilizer. Hehe......"

"Is there pig manure, cow manure and chicken manure and manure?"

"Probably, right?"

"I don't think so!"

"Hahaha......"

In the afternoon, when Ji Ning, Lingyu and He An were almost packing their luggage together, suddenly there was a shout from the courtyard: "Ji Ning! Ji Ning! ”

Ji Ning stopped, ready to turn around and walk out.

Lingyu also stopped to pack his things, took two quick steps to catch up with Ji Ning, and said quickly in Ji Ning's ear: "It seems to be Zhao Gongzi and Du Gongzi." Young Master, they are your ...... Pal. ”

"Oh, what's the law?" Ji Ning stopped and turned his head to ask.

He didn't have the memory of Ji Ning in his mind, and all the people he knew before relied on Lingyu to prompt him.

"You often play and drink with them," Lingyu whispered, "and go to the Qinglou together......"

Ji Ning smiled and said, "It turned out to be a fox friend and a dog friend." They can rush over at this time, but they are a little righteous. ”

After speaking, walking out of the door, Ji Ning looked at it, and his smile suddenly condensed slightly.

I saw four young men dressed as scholars standing proudly in the courtyard, followed by a few servants with tall oxen and horses. Among them, the young scholar standing in the middle he knew, it was Ji Jingzijing, the son of Ji Fu, the great-grandson of the patriarch Ji Ze. Before he traveled to Anxi Prefecture, Ji Jing had a conflict with him.

Those three fox friends and dog friends arrived with Ji Jing, it must be no good thing.

Yu Ling, who was following Ji Ning, whispered in Ji Ning's ear and quickly introduced the names of the three fox friends.

"Ji Ning, pay back the money!" Du Shou, who was standing on Ji Jing's left, shouted loudly, and stretched out one hand in front of Ji Ning.

"Ji Ning, pay back the money, !!" The other two fox friends then shouted loudly at the same time, and stretched out their hands in front of Ji Ning together.

Ji Ning swept his gaze over the faces of these three fox friends and dogs, all of them fierce, looking like they would kill you if they didn't pay back.

"It's okay to pay back, take an IOU." Ji Ning said lightly.

God knows how much money Ji Ning owed them in the past, so he can only rely on the IOU.

The three fox friends were prepared and immediately took out the IOU.

Ji Ning looked at the IOU, good guy, he owed more than four hundred taels in total.

"See clearly. Pay you off in three days. You can go back. Ji Ning said lightly, turned around and returned to the house.

Du Shou and the three of them immediately rushed up, blocked Ji Ning's way, and snorted coldly: "Ji Ning, don't think we don't know, you don't have a penny now, and you still owe Ji Fu three hundred taels." You have to pay the money back today! ”

"Yes, you have to pay it back immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!" The other two fox friends rolled up their sleeves and shouted.

The few tall slaves they had brought with them immediately surrounded them, staring at Ji Ning fiercely, and pounced on them as soon as their master gave an order.

Ji Ning was not afraid, turned to look at Ji Jing, and said coldly: "Ji Jing, what do you want?" ”

"Haha, not very good." Ji Jing proudly opened the paper folding fan, and said with a smile while shaking the folding fan gently, "I might as well tell you that this garden will be mine soon." Since I'm going to enter the Qin Garden, why don't you leave the maid ring of this garden to serve the young master? As long as you sell the rain spirit to me, you owe Brother Du their silver taels, and they will be cleared immediately! ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Yu Ling, revealing a yin|smile.

"Young master, I beg you, don't sell the rain spirit." Yu Lingqiao's face turned pale in an instant, and a pair of jade hands grabbed Ji Ning's long sleeves, almost crying out and begging.

Ji Jing has coveted Yu Ling for a long time, and he once asked Ji Ning to buy Yu Ling several times. It's just that although Ji Ning is a bastard, he also knows that Yu Ling is the closest person to him, beautiful and docile, comfortable to serve him, and he is not short of money, so he has always refused to let go, and even had a conflict with Ji Jing because of this.

Ji Jing has a bad record, he has bought two pretty rings in the past two or three years to play with them, and after playing for a few months, he got a little tired of playing with his fox friends and dogs, and when he was about to play with them, he sold them to Qinglou.

Ji Ning turned around and patted Yu Ling's fragrant shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, even if I am a beggar, I will not sell you." ”

Then, he turned around and said lightly to Ji Jing: "These two tricks of 'falling into the well' and 'robbing while the fire is hot' are good, but unfortunately, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, Du Shou behind him had already shouted impatiently: "Ji Ning, don't pretend here." How many pounds and taels you have, we still don't know. Be happy, sell your Yahuan to Brother Ji Jing, and pay us back. Besides, even if you refuse to sell it now and leave the Ji Mansion, you can't even support yourself, what kind of maid ring do you raise! ”

"That's it! Sell sooner or later, sell sooner or later, sell early, sell. Another fox friend Zhao Xiong said, "It's better to take advantage of Brother Zijing's fancy to your Yahuan now, and you can sell it for a high price." ”

The third fox friend also smiled in a tone that ate Ji Ning: "I said that we shouldn't underestimate Ji Ning's great talent, maybe he can sell a poem right away and pay us back." Haha......"

"Hahaha......" Du Shou and Zhao Xiong couldn't help laughing, "Brother Liu, if you don't say it, we almost forgot about this stubble." Didn't he keep bragging to us about how good he was at writing poetry? Every time I enter the Poetry Pavilion, I can sell it for dozens of taels of silver. ”

As for Ji Jing, he shook the folding fan unhurriedly, with a faint sneer on his face, looking like he was watching a play.

Ji Ning turned around and smiled lightly at Du Shou and the others: "You are worthy of being my 'confidant', and Young Master Ben is planning to go to the Poetry Pavilion to sell poems." ”

Du Shou and Ji Jing and the others couldn't help but be stunned, and then they leaned back and fell back with laughter, as if they heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Ji Ning ignored their ridicule, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard gate proudly.
