Chapter 52: The Loser
Jiang Yan saw that the guard's doubts were not explained, so he hurriedly wrote a letter, painted it with fire paint, and sent it to Su Rui, who was patrolling other states and counties.
Xiaoyou was willing to listen to his advice to take the martial arts test, so he gave Xiaoyou a big gift before the middle move.
Let Xiaoyou have no worries, so that he can go to protect his family and defend the country, become the coveted general, and go to see the iron horse Jingo.
……
Ye Tongju was busy until the middle of the moon, and when he returned to Ye Mansion from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he was still in high spirits.
He sent someone to call Ye Changlong, and said proudly about the process of having dinner with Lord Huang and Marquis An tonight.
"Changlong, as long as King Jin becomes the crown prince and ascends the dragon chair in the future, An Xiaohou is very likely to be the future prince, as long as you do the matter of introducing Shixian, you will also have the opportunity to have a dinner with An Xiaohou, so that An Xiaohou can remember your name."
Ye Tong promised the benefits and did not forget to praise.
"I heard that thanks to you going to visit Ning Wuxian at the Ping'an Medical Center today, you can invite him to participate in the Juxian gathering, and you have been wronged, you must have said a lot of good things in front of Ning Wuxian, right?"
"When I went, Miss Shen and Miss Ji were also there, I was afraid that my performance would be too obvious and arouse suspicion from others, so I didn't say many good things, and only spent 10,000 taels of silver."
Ye Tongju's face stiffened with a smile, and he looked at his eldest nephew who was still smug in disbelief.
"You gave Ning Wuxian 10,000 taels of silver before you invited him to the Juxian gathering?"
Put on airs!
Ye Tong's annual dividend was only about 100,000 taels, and at this time, seeing his eldest nephew spending a lot of money, he was angry and anxious but couldn't attack.
Whoever calls the Ye family's business is taken care of by the second brother's family, and Ye Changlong is a young owner, if he talks a few more words in terms of controlling money, he will not be happy to pay money in the officialdom in the future.
"Uncle, don't look at the 10,000 taels of silver I gave Ning Wuxian today, and he will go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion seven days later to pay me back 100,000 taels!"
Facing Ye Changlong's confident appearance, Ye Tongju slapped him on the top of the head and shouted angrily: "You are still lending usury?!" ”
Daxing cracked down on usury and disrupted the normal life of the people.
Before he became a general judge, the Ye family let go of usury, and the people did not sue the officials and not hold them accountable.
But now that he has become a government official, if people know that he knows the law and violates the law, this official hat will not be able to be kept!
borrowed 10,000 taels, and repaid 100,000 taels after seven days, even if it was the Ye family who made the money, Ye Tongju felt that the eldest nephew's heart was too dark.
"Uncle, it's not a loan shark, it's a serious business......
After Ye Tongju knew the ins and outs, he realized that it was not his nephew's black heart, but Ning Wuxian's brain problem: "If you are not defeated by incense, you will lose ten if you fake one, he wants money and wants to go crazy?" ”
"Who knows, anyway, I sent a little servant to stare at the Ping'an Medical Center, saying that for a whole day, except for buying petals and firewood from the flower house, Ning Wuxiao didn't do anything else, and it was just wishful thinking that he could make a perfume better than incense with these alone."
Ye Tong didn't understand how incense was made, and he also knew that the process was cumbersome and complicated.
That's how it can be sold so expensive.
And Ning Wuxian's fifty-tael bottle of perfume is definitely not cheap, and there are no other materials except petals and firewood...... At first glance, you can't make a perfume more subtle than incense.
"This Ning Wuxian is sometimes shrewd and sometimes stupid, could it be that he is really not a poet immortal, but has a master behind him?"
Thinking of the questions from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, in order to avoid the situation of the pen in the era of landing on the island that day, it is all improvised.
Ye Tong couldn't help but have a headache: "I also specially told the little marquis about the poet immortal during the banquet tonight, if Ning is unharmed and is a fake poet immortal, where can I find a poet immortal to introduce to the little marquis?" ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I spent a lot of money to recruit a lot of talents, and when the time comes, if Ning Wuxian plays abnormally, he can just use this to seize his handle and make him loyal to the Ye family."
This plan was agreed to by Ye Tongju at the beginning, but his idea was to cooperate with Ning Wuxian and build momentum for Ning Wuxian, but at this time, he had to change it to keep the title of Ning Wuxian's poet immortal.
Ye Tongju thought that in this way, it would indeed be better to control Ning Wuxian, so he could only remind Ye Changlong: "Things should be done in a hidden way." ”
"In order to prevent accidents, you also need the uncle's guidance on which direction to prepare." A calculation flashed in Ye Changlong's eyes.
The title of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion has been kept secret from the outside world.
It will only be revealed on the day of the gathering.
He didn't intend to help Ning Wuxian establish the position of poet immortal, his real idea was to take this opportunity to step on Ning Wuxian's position!
Ye Tongju pondered for a moment, not wanting to leak the topic, in case the East Window incident happened, and the little marquis held him responsible.
Thinking of so many people at the banquet tonight, everyone has selfish intentions and wants to introduce their children to the little marquis, and it is certain to leak some of the topics.
He beckoned to Ye Changlong: "This matter can only be known to you and me, not to a third party." ”
"Uncle, don't worry." Ye Changlong played the package ticket and pricked up his ears to listen to the topic from one floor to the fourth floor.
After listening, he couldn't help but secretly speak.
Fortunately, my uncle missed the question in advance, otherwise it would have been too late to let those ghostwriters act as personal servants to help him that day.
"Uncle, these topics are really difficult, I think even King Xu Shiwang may not be able to climb the fourth floor."
The title is exactly what he wants.
It is not only a simple test of poetry writing skills and experience, but also prevents the preparation of poems in advance.
At the beginning, I wanted to climb the island in the middle of the lake, "Four Friends of the Cold Year, Words with Things" was relatively wide, and this kind of topic could only enter the lobby on the first floor, and if I wanted to go to the second floor, the topic had a certain range of restrictions.
It gives people a feeling of taking the school in the autumn and spring.
Ye Tongju thought of the embarrassing scene where everyone couldn't answer the question when they saw it, and said with a smile: "Who said no, but the little marquis said that there are many talented people in Jiangnan, and he believes that someone will climb the fourth floor and become famous all over the world." ”
"I believe it too."
Ye Changlong said in his heart: If you know the question, you just need to prepare a few answers in advance.
He can go up to these four floors!
"Changlong, you just let those ghostwriters prepare the answer for you to the third floor, I was waiting for you on the third floor that day, as long as there are few people on the fourth floor, I can take you up to the fourth floor, go to have a good time, and get familiar with the face in front of the little marquis."
The colleagues who had dinner together today are tacitly aware of this.
The little marquis told them the topic in advance, which was naturally also a chance for the children of the faction loyal to the King of Jin to gild in front of the talented people of Jiangnan.
This is the benefit of following King Jin.
"Uncle, what if I want to go up to the fourth floor?" Ye Changlong asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Syllable!
Ye Tong's heavy slap landed on the top of Ye Changlong's head, and the force was so great that Ye Changlong gasped in pain.
"Changlong, people are self-aware, if you don't have real talent to climb the fourth floor, it will only hurt you, even if you recommend Ning Wuxian to succeed, you have to pass the current level, this is a splashing wealth, but also a head-killing crisis, the water is too deep, you can't grasp it."
Facing Ye Tongju's teachings, Ye Changlong pretended to listen carefully, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
