Bao Xin went to Ningfu with the famous painting "Flowers, Birds, Insects and Fish" and wanted to return it.

But Ning Ze learned and put it into practice, and also let Liang Wu tell Bao Xin that he had gone to visit a friend and would not return today.

Bao Xin wanted to hand over the famous painting to Liang Wu, but Liang Wu said that this was a treasure sent out by the young master, and he didn't dare to take it, for fear that he would not be able to explain if it was damaged, so he asked Bao Xin to return it in person after the young master came back.

Knowing that Ning Ze did it on purpose, Bao Xin had no way at all.

He wants to directly throw the painting here, what if Liang Wu says that he has never seen this painting at that time, and Ning Ze investigates it?

So he had no choice but to return to Bao Mansion.

After going a few more times the next day, Liang Wu either said that Ning Ze was busy with official business, or that he was having dinner at a friend's house.

Helpless, Bao Xin could only ask his father for help, hoping to return it to Ning Ze when the members of the Chamber of Commerce gathered.

However, Bao Yun didn't see Ning Ze at the Chamber of Commerce.

So Bao Xin went to find Chu Xun, after all, this matter was caused by him.

Chu Xun deliberately avoided Ning Ze, how could he agree? But if this famous painting is not returned, it seems that it will not work.

Think about it carefully, let Bao Xin give the painting to Liang Kai, who has a good relationship with Ning Ze, and it will be okay if the friend returns it?

To say that Chu Xun is really smart, Bao Xin asked Liang Kai to help as he said.

The next day, the painting was sent to Ningze Mansion.

As a friend who doesn't need to be reported, Liang Kai went directly to his house and threw the painting on the table, and it was over!

When Ning Ze went home and saw this painting, he could only give up if Liang Kai sent it.

Of course, this does not mean throwing in the towel.

In the past few days, I have not been idle, mobilizing the eyes and ears in the city to find out where the Chumei people usually go. I heard that she often appeared in Yi Bao Zhai, so I greeted the boss of Yi Bao Zhai and quickly arranged it.

Yi Bao Zhai is a well-known shop in Hua County, specializing in buying some rare items or precious treasures from other states and counties to sell here, before Ning Ze had several royal things, and it was also purchased from other states and counties by the owner of Yi Bao Zhai.

Chumei people also often come here, and if they find a rare book or painting they like, they will buy it back and treasure it.

Ning Ze greeted the boss of Yi Bao Zhai in advance, and put the rare calligraphy of the famous calligrapher Yang Daoting that he had collected before into it as a consignment. Then the news was released in advance, and many guests who were interested in it came.

Chu Meiren really appeared, and she was very interested in this copybook.

Before Yi Bao Zhai opened, many of the guests gathered around Yang Daoting's calligraphy, including Chu Meiren.

I found that the price of the copybook was surprisingly cheap, and everyone was ready to bid.

It's just that before the market opened, the boss of Yi Bao Zhai put away Yang Daoting's calligraphy on Ning Ze's order, and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone! The owner of this book has temporarily decided to cancel the bidding, and we will remove this post and replace it with other products." ”

A large number of customers who came to the book immediately quit, and everyone came to the book book, so they were naturally unhappy to be played.

"Everyone!" Boss Yi Baozhai finally calmed down and said loudly, "This thing is owned by Ning Juncheng." Jun Cheng decided to bid for this post here, but he suddenly regretted it, and there was no way to do it! If anyone is dissatisfied, he can ask Ning Juncheng to raise it in person. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

Everyone in Huajun City knows Ning Ze, from the beginning of the Pangli Mountain bandit incident to the recent destruction of the soldiers and horses in the six counties, this county is not simple. Moreover, the current owner of Huajun, Princess Yuanxi, Liu Yuanxiang, appointed him as a military advisor, and he can meddle in all affairs in the city. In addition, Taishou Liang Teng also has a good relationship with him, and he has a lot of weight in the city. Not to mention the previous resettlement of displaced people, as well as the recent promulgation of a series of internal policies for the benefit of the people, which also made him highly regarded by the people.

So they held their breath back to their stomachs, and they could only regret it inexplicably.

Chu Meiren also deeply regretted that she heard that this calligraphy was from Juncheng Ning Ze, and she was a little surprised.

Now that the copybook is gone, everyone is ready to disperse.

The boss of Yi Baozhai entered the house for a while, and soon came out again and said, "Everyone! Yang Daoting's calligraphy was cancelled from bidding, but whoever can guess the puzzle of Juncheng can buy the calligraphy at the original price. ”

Hearing this, everyone stopped and quickly gathered: "What if two people, or more people guess correctly?"

"Only the first person who guesses correctly is eligible!" Yi Baozhai boss said loudly, "Listen well, the puzzle of Juncheng is: one white and one black, fight wits and courage! The puzzle is very simple, it depends on who thinks of it first......

"One white and one black, fighting wits and courage?" the guests at the scene bowed their heads and pondered.

The moment Chu Meiren heard the puzzle, she immediately spoke: "The answer to the puzzle is Go!"

Sure enough, it is the existence of 97 points of intelligence, which is not difficult for her at all.

When the guests next to them heard the answer, they suddenly realized it one by one, and at the same time they were quite remorseful.

The answer to the riddle is indeed very simple, but everyone is not as quick as her, and it is too late to think of it.

"Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" The boss of Yi Baozhai immediately walked up to Chu Meiren, "You have answered the puzzle of Juncheng correctly, please go to the private room inside." ”

Chu Meiren hesitated a little and followed in.

When I came to the private room, I saw Ning Ze sitting by the window drinking tea.

Seeing her appear, he put down the teacup unexpectedly, got up and saluted: "Miss Chu, why are you here?"

"Juncheng, you two talk slowly!" The boss of Yi Baozhai hurriedly withdrew.

"Ning Juncheng!" Chu Meiren bowed elegantly, "You deliberately led the people here, why did you do it?"

Directly debunked, unceremoniously.

Ning Ze smiled slightly: "Please take a seat!"

Chu Meiren thought for a while, sat down hesitantly, separated from him by about five meters, and asked face to face: "Jun Cheng deliberately used Yang Daoting's calligraphy to lure the people's daughter here, or is it for the sake ......of his father?

"That's right! I hope that Ling Zun can join my lord's command. Ning Ze smiled, "But I invited Miss Chu over today for another matter." ”

"Please give me advice. Although Chu Meiren was a little shy in the face of strangers, her manners were still very decent.

"I wonder if Miss Chu has heard of Huajun's recruitment order?" Ning Ze asked.

Chu Meiren nodded slightly: "I have heard of it! I heard that the recruitment order is from the hand of Ning Juncheng?"

"That's right, what does Miss Chu think of the recruitment order issued below?"

"It's funny. Chu Meiren replied politely.

"What else?"

"I don't have any ideas other than that. ”

"Yes, if Miss Chu is invited to join our army and become the chief of staff, is Miss Chu willing?"

"Huh?" Chu Meiren was obviously a little surprised, and then hurriedly waved her hand, "How can a woman be an official?"

"Why can't a woman be an official?" asked Ning Ze.

"This has been the case since ancient times. ”

"Everything must keep pace with the times! In ancient times, if there were no sages to create words, we would still be savages. Why don't you say that there are no words available since ancient times?"

Chu Meiren was thoughtful.

"I think Miss Chu is a smart person, and she must have great talents! Why not follow the example of the sages and make progress together?"

"The folk girls are just people from the countryside, how can they come to learn? Chu Meiren said in a low voice.

"Miss Chu is too humble! The daughter of Duke Chu is not a general, not to mention the puzzle that came out, the girl answered it instantly, such a quick wisdom is rare in the world!" Ning Ze said with a smile.

"Don't make fun of the people's daughter!" Chu Meiren was a little shy, "I just made a mistake just now." ”

"Does Miss Chu like guessing riddles?"

"Guess the riddle?" Chu Meiren was a little embarrassed, "but I'm a little interested." ”

"Oh, just now, Miss Chu instantly answered the riddle, which made Zai Xia quite admired. Ning Ze said, "It's better to come up with a few more puzzles and see if Miss Chu can guess them!" In this way, if the girl can guess all the puzzles, this Yang Daoting handbook will not take a penny and give it directly to the girl!"

Yang Daoting's calligraphy is extremely precious, and the folk girl is willing to pay for it. Chu Meiren hurriedly said, "Guessing riddles is entertainment, how can it be so?"

"It's okay!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "It seems that there are countless treasures like this in the lower mansion." There are all kinds of unique books. These include the secret treasures of the royal family that were looted by ant thieves and wandered among the people, as well as precious classics that the world has never heard of! For example, Xu Lianchai's "Jiangzhou Wind and Rain Map", the palace treasure jade book, Pei Yunchuan's Yunchuan calligraphy, etc. ”

Chu Meiren's eyes showed great interest, but she tried her best to suppress it: "Where did Jun Cheng get these treasures? ”

"I am preparing for the Chamber of Commerce, some of which are sent by wealthy businessmen from all over the world, and there are also treasures that I have found at my own expense. Ning Ze said with a smile, "As a county commander of Huajun, Princess Yuanxi ordered a military advisor, and this money can still be paid." If Miss Chu is interested, please come to the house next time to enjoy it. ”

"This ...... It's not proper!" Chu Meiren shook her head slightly.

How can a girl be a guest at a strange man's house?

"Also, it's really inappropriate to ask the girl to be a guest in the Xia Mansion!" Ning Ze said, "It's better to go to the Bao Mansion to visit." The Bao family has a good relationship with me, and it is common to visit on weekdays. It should be no problem to meet the girl halfway. ”

"Why bother with this?" Chu Meiren shook her head and said, "Even so, my father will still avoid Juncheng, and it will never be possible to be an official of Huajun." ”

"Even if Duke Chu doesn't allow it, you still have to try it as much as possible!" Ning Ze said, "That's right! The guessing puzzle I just said, is Miss Chu interested? As long as the girl guesses all the puzzles correctly, this Yang Daoting notebook will be given away directly." ”

"It's not proper," Chu Meiren shook her head, "How can you be so childish?"

"Could it be that Miss Chu has no self-confidence, and thinks it will be embarrassing not to be able to solve puzzles?" Ning Ze smiled, "It's okay, I'll try to come up with some simple puzzles in the future." ”

Hearing this, Chu Meiren's eyes immediately became serious: "Don't underestimate the people's daughters! Although the people's girls are not highly educated, they are very confident in guessing riddles." ”

"In that case, is Miss Chu ready to take on the challenge?" Ning Ze asked.

"Although Juncheng has a question, the more difficult the better!"

Looking at Chu Meiren, who was brought to the rhythm by herself, Ning Ze showed a smug smile.
