Chapter 360: Purpose
The Tianxiang Building in the capital is opened in the section of Chongwen Gate near the ferry, which may be a habit of the Chu Pavilion of the Qin Building in the south, which is to find a place close to the water to open a shop, in order to be able to operate a painting boat, and at the same time to have a wide range of interests and financial resources.
In these years, people who do business still pay attention to the doorways of time, place, wealth and luck, Ji Ning did not go to watch the ceremony, and Tang Xie and others did not go, because they were preparing for the Beijing Poetry Club in the past few days.
According to Tang Jie, after the opening of Tianxianglou, business was also bleak.
Although Liu Ru is waiting for the female dependents to enter the capital happened in the same month, the preparations for the Tianxianglou Beijing branch began more than half a year ago.
The operators of Tianxianglou also took into account the fact that the scholars entered the capital to prepare for this good time period, and they realized that only these young and vigorous scholars could drive the consumption of Fengyue places, and even if those merchants were rich, they rarely went to such an elegant place as Tianxianglou, after all, those businessmen still asked for simplicity and directness, and it was best to untie their clothes when they entered the door, and they could get dressed and leave the next morning, and they disdained to do things that followed the Fengyue woman to manage their feelings and put a lot of money into it.
And the route taken by the big Qinlou Chu Pavilion is to attract readers, so they don't disdain to do business, they prefer to not only let the guests pay money, but also win the reputation of talented and beautiful people, so that more people flock to it, if it is just a leather and meat business, then they themselves know that it is just drinking to quench their thirst, and there is no future.
"Yongning, you can go over and have a look when you have time, Miss Liu has entered the capital, it should be very lively, but it is said that she occasionally feels cold these days and can't come out to meet guests, otherwise I will also visit, no matter how I say it, I am an old acquaintance of Jinling City, even if she refuses to see me, she will always meet Yongning you, after all, you are the Xie Yuan of our Jinling City, and you have a lot of relationship with Miss Liu." Tang explained.
Ji Ning shook his head slightly, he still didn't want to see Liu Ruyi, because in Ji Ning's opinion, Liu Ru also had too much utilitarian color, and Liu Ru approached him for a purpose before, and the purpose of letting Ji Ning see it was that Liu Ru wanted to learn more poetry from him, so that he could attract more guests in Vanity Fair, and that hidden purpose was not something he could know.
Han Yu said: "Yongning doesn't want to go, don't force him, now I see the end of winter, and it is about to be the beginning of the lunar month, and the Beijing Poetry Club may be postponed for a few days, because students from all over the world are still flocking to the capital, and even the people who hold the Beijing Poetry Club also want to see more people's knowledge." I heard that behind this Beijing Poetry Meeting, the power of the Five Princes is involved, and I don't know if it's true or not! ”
In fact, there is no need for Han Yu to remind him, Ji Ning himself has heard some rumors, saying that the five princes will personally participate in this poetry meeting in order to win over scholars, and also said that they will personally compose a poem at the poetry meeting, which means to have fun with the people.
As for what the purpose of the five princes is, in fact, Ji Ning doesn't have to guess, after all, the five princes covet the throne, and now the prince is unusually drunk and dreaming of death, the emperor has not been in the court for many days, and the five princes want to win the appreciation of the emperor and ministers by expressing themselves, and win the support of scholars and the people, which are all extra points for political purposes.
Once the poetry will have the meaning of competition, Ji Ning feels that there is no need to hold it, and now coupled with political factors, Ji Ning will have a certain rejection of more such poems.
"The five princes are humble and cautious, maybe they want to have more contact with the scholars, and when the time comes, we will not cling to the five princes, lest people think that we have another purpose." Ji Ning reminded.
Tang Xie laughed and said: "This poetry meeting is Yongning, you to show your talents, it has nothing to do with us, we just follow you and go to join in the fun." ”
Ji Ning thought to himself, I'm also going to join in the fun, you follow me to join in the fun, then everyone will join in the fun, and you don't have to think about anything, just easily mix up the poetry meeting in the past few days.
……
……
That night, Nalan Blowing Snow came over to bother Ji Ning again.
It turned out that Nalan Blowing Snow was not in the inn for several nights in a row, she was used to coming and going, she was going to investigate some of the situation in the capital and prepare for her revenge, and the place where Nalan Blowing Snow went was basically the location of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Three Divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as the surroundings of the palace, Nalan Blowing Snow was also thoughtful in the matter of revenge, but Ji Ning didn't understand what the results of her night exploration in these places were.
Finding out the terrain is not helpful for revenge, but she may be discovered by the officers and soldiers because she went to the location of these official mansions, and once she is caught, her fate is also very tragic.
"I've been around the palace, it's hard to get in, I don't know the situation inside the red wall, what can you do to let me in?" Nalan Fuxue came to Ji Ning's room, and he was not polite, he came up and first lit Yuling to sleep, and then sat on the bed, as if he was on the edge of his own kang, and even occasionally took off his embroidered shoes, revealing the white cloth socks inside.
When Ji Ning looked at the pair of white socks, he couldn't help but think about what kind of delicate feet would be underneath.
Although Nalan Blowing Snow is a martial arts practitioner, her hands and feet are not big, but Ji Ning thought that because Nalan Blowing Snow walked everywhere and practiced swords, her hands and feet might be calloused, so she retreated in her heart.
"No way." Ji Ning said, "Even if you go in, I told you that after you face the saint, the emperor will treat you as an assassin, what reason do you think the emperor would believe you as a folk girl?" ”
Nalan Blowing Snow was a little discouraged and said, "Tell me, what can we do to kill Zhang Hong?" You don't have to use the power of the imperial court, you can devise a plan for me to assassinate him, or even die with him! ”
When Nalan Chuixue said this, her eyes were indescribably resolute, and Ji Ning believed that she could do what she said, because this was a stupid woman who could even sacrifice herself for revenge.
Ji Ning said sharply: "Miss Nalan, I want to remind you that after I help you take revenge, the right to dispose of your life belongs to me, not to you, if you want to die together, then I won't help you, because I can't get anything else except you, then I might as well be honest and do nothing!" ”
"You!" Nalan Chuixue glared at Ji Ning, and then she was thinking about things angrily, and finally she was discouraged, "You're right, helping people has a purpose, you help me in order to get me, I understand you, but you can't blackmail me because of this." If I need to die together in time for revenge, you can't stop me! ”
Ji Ning said: "Since you want to take revenge, of course, you want to fight without blood, and you will die together, what kind of ability is that?" Miss Nalan also has some wisdom to look down on, right? ”
