Chapter 18: Stained Clean

Xu Jidao was about to ask.

Ji Jin, who was next to him, clapped his hands suddenly and looked at Liu Qingfang with joy.

"Miss Liu, I remember that you have a marriage contract with Ning Wuxiao, the fifth son of Ning? Miss Liu really understands the righteousness, and has such a relationship with Ning Sangongzi, in order not to affect my judgment with King Xu Shi, she has never said it. ”

The smile on Liu Qingfang's face was about to be held back.

Who wants to have a marriage contract with that big straw bale?!

This is the shame of her life!

But in the current situation, she can only pinch her nose and admit it, as long as she knows the identity of Shixian, Ji Jin and Xu Jidao will definitely be grateful to her.

So, she pretended to be enthusiastic and asked Ning Wujian again: "Third Brother Ning, do you know that poet immortal?" Can...... For the sake of Ning Wuxian's face, introduce me to me? ”

……

Bang Bang Bang!

Ning Wuxian watched carefully as Blacksmith Li's sledgehammer smashed against the iron plate, and the splattered iron juice made him take two steps back.

It's too backward.

The process of smelting and forging is too backward!

Even if it is backward, because iron tools are strictly controlled by the government, the cost is extremely high.

It cost him thirty taels of silver to make a set of distillation tools he wanted, and to bring the materials, which was equivalent to two years' rations for a family of five ordinary people in Jinling.

"In my memory, it seems that the weapons forged from stainless steel used in the original body to practice martial arts were all borrowed by Liu Qingfang and her brother, and the value of those things alone is hundreds of taels."

Ning Wuxian's heart was dripping blood.

Forget about the straw bag, he is still such a loser, he is so angry that he wants to give the original body two punches to make him sober up.

At this time, Blacksmith Li finally finished hammering the shovel in his hand and stretched out his palm full of calluses and scars.

"Ning Gongzi, have you thought about it? If you want to forge it within three days, you need to pay another three taels of expedited fees. ”

Think about it.

When you go to Liu's house to withdraw from the marriage, you must get back the weapons you lent!

Ning Wuxian happily took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms, and saw that Blacksmith Li's eyes were green, and at the same time as Blacksmith Li stretched out his hand, he stuffed the silver ticket back into his sleeve.

"Ning Gongzi, do you want to regret it?" Blacksmith Li deliberately put on a fierce expression.

Ning Wuxian was not as timid and afraid as the original body, so he was naturally unmoved, and even exposed the other party on the spot: "I watched here for half an hour, the price you set for others is not as expensive as the one set for me, it stands to reason that the more you play, it should be more discounted, why do you still shout that the higher the price?" Do you think I'm stupid and have a lot of money, or do you think you're a skilled and bold person? ”

Blacksmith Li looked at the articulate Ning Wuxian in a daze, if it weren't for the fact that the face was not easy to recognize, he would have suspected that the young man in front of him was not Ning Wuxian.

Because, in the past, when Ning Wuxian came to build the equipment of the medical hall, he said that he would give as many taels as he wanted, but today he actually learned to bargain?

Is this still Ning Wuxian, who has a bad head?!

"Don't be fooled by shopping around, if you don't offer a sincere price, this business can't be done."

Ning Wuxian is about to go.

Blacksmith Li was shocked and regretted, and immediately lowered the price.

"Even the material with the worker is twenty-five taels, and the expedited fee doesn't want you, he will definitely not be able to give such a low price if you go to another blacksmith shop in the city, and the materials are not good, our neighbors, I won't pit you."

From thirty-three taels to twenty-five taels, it is simply a huge pit.

It's really half of the pit, and the acquaintance is a grand slam.

Ning Wuxian probably figured out the reserve price, no longer pretended, and turned around and left.

I've worked so many times in this blacksmith shop, and it's time for this day to be over.

"Ning Gongzi stays...... Rather than be harmless, don't come in the future if you have a kind! ”

Turning a deaf ear to the annoyance and anger behind him.

As he passed by the edge of Xuanwu Lake, he covered his forehead with his hand and squinted into the balcony.

"There seem to be more people than in the morning, and the enthusiasm is much higher, so I think the criteria for judging have been changed."

After all, if you refer to the ten poems he sold to choose, maybe Miss Ji will have to sit for half a day.

Even the song "Wild Bamboo" that he changed for Ning Wujian is estimated to be unsuccessful.

If you change the standard...... He probably didn't need to make his own dinner, and he was able to go to Ning's house to eat it.

"Third brother, good luck to you, may I eat chicken."

……

in the gazebo.

Ning Wujian was amazed when he faced Liu Qingfang, who still had the face to mention the marriage contract.

He's seen shameless, but he's never seen anything so shameless.

If it weren't for the presence of Xu Jidao and Ji Jin, it would be inconvenient for the family to publicize the ugliness, he would have wanted to ask Liu Qingfang: Does the Liu family just use my Ning family as a stepping stone? In your Liu Qingfang's heart, where is my fifth brother placed?

"Miss Liu, the marriage contract between you and my fifth brother is a matter between you and has nothing to do with me."

Ning Wujian still swallowed a full question, stood up and bowed to Xu Jidao and Ji Jin.

"If Mr. Xu and Miss Ji called me because they wanted to ask me about Shixian, I can only say...... There is no comment, Shixian once said his identity, and now it is inconvenient for outsiders to know. ”

Ning Wujian knew that as long as he said that the fifth brother was a poet immortal, today he would not only land on the island, but also be valued by Xu Jidao and Ji Jin, and it would no longer be a dream to ascend to the sky in one step.

But.

Rather than getting the attention of the nobles, he wanted to keep the promise he made with his fifth brother.

I don't want Liu Qingfang to continue to squeeze the value of the fifth brother.

Ning Wuxian's refusal surprised Liu Qingfang.

Xu Jidao and Ji Jin felt that it was reasonable.

If the poet immortal cares about the false name, he appeared to claim it as early as ten poems when he became famous in Jinling, how could they let them search for clues?

But Xu Jidao still felt sorry, and there was a feeling that the poetry fairy was close in front of him but could not be touched.

"Ning San Gongzi, the old man doesn't know the old man about the original text before you revised it, but I think I should be able to see through the ideas expressed in your "Wild Bamboo", Gongzi is a person who sticks to his heart, even so, it is inconvenient for us to ask too much about Shixian."

Xu said this.

Liu Qingfang wanted to make friends again, forcing Ning Wujian to say who the poet was, but she would fall into the handle.

Liu Qingfang glanced at Ning Wuxian resentfully, and hated it in her heart: the Ning family really gave up Ning Wuxian, and such an important connection as Shixian naturally didn't want her fiancΓ©e to know, it seems that this marriage has no value anymore!

Seeing that Xu Jidao was no longer demanding, Ning Wudao breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Xu Jidao again: "Thank you, Mr. for understanding." ”

"You have the qualifications to land on the island with this poem, and I admire you very much."

Knowing that the identity of the poet will be revealed sooner or later, but he is still unwilling to give them a favor in order to keep his promise, Xu Jidao saw in this young man the noble and steadfast loyalty of "Wild Bamboo".

also saw the shadow of his friend Jiang Yan when he was young.

"Drift Zero."

He summoned Drifting Zero and whispered a word.

"You take Ning Sangongzi to see Lord Jiang, it's not interesting for him to drink alone, I believe that Lord Jiang will be able to have a good time with Ning Sangongzi."

After explaining the drifting zero, Xu Jidao did not forget to invite him in reverse: "Third Prince Ning, after you go down to the island, I will definitely go to visit Ning Mansion." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Ning Wuxian heard that since Xu Jidao came to Jinling, many officials and eunuchs invited or visited him, but Xu Jidao didn't see him at all, and came directly to live on the island in the middle of the lake.

At this time, he proposed to go to Ning's house, naturally wanting to inquire about Shixian's affairs.

Now Xu Jidao is going to the Ning family, this is an honor for the family, I heard that King Xu Shi and the prefect Jiang Yanjiang are friendly, this move is beneficial to the development of his father and uncle, and he will not refuse.

"Good, good."

Xu Daodao said three good words one after another, the more he looked at Ning Wuji, the more pleasing he felt to the eye, he held the papyrus with "Wild Bamboo" written in both hands, and asked tentatively: "Ning Sangongzi, this poem manuscript ......"

"Please take your time with Mr. Xu, it would be great if you could give some advice."

Ning Wujian is just sincere but not unsophisticated, and he can see that Xu Jidao loves the manuscript of his fifth brother, and he has to give this favor.

"Haha! Good! ”

Xu Jidao finally fulfilled his dream, he was excited and had no extra expression, and another "good" word was said loudly in all directions.

Piao Ling led Ning Wuji's sedan chair to the island in the middle of the lake.

The students at the bridgehead by the lake didn't understand the specific experience, and when they saw Ning Wujian on the island, they also understood at this time.

Ning Wujian was not called by King Xu Shi to criticize and expel from the literary world at all, but was praised and personally sent a scholar to bring him to the island, what an honor!

Ye Changlong was immediately dumbfounded, and looked at Liu Qingfang in the pavilion inexplicably.

Didn't he say that he would be allowed to land on the island in the afternoon, why didn't Miss Ji have time to read his poem manuscript and send Ning Wujian first?

He stood in the front row, and heard that King Xu Shi was going to Ning Mansion as a guest!

You must know that his uncle is a general judge of Jinling, and with the help of the subordinates of the Jiang Governor's Mansion, he once warmly invited King Xu Shi, but the other party failed to agree.

Why did you take the initiative to mention going to Ning's house?

What the hell is going on in the pavilion?

What the hell did Ning Wujian do?!

Liu Qingfang saw Ye Changlong's puzzled and angry look, and said that she was in distress, so she could only hurriedly urge: "Miss Ji, Xu Shiwang, I haven't read the other poems in this group yet, what if there are talented people, don't you choose one more?" ”
