In order to level the bowl of water, in the list he drew up, there was one person each from the King Jin faction and the King Kang faction, and since things were not in a hurry, they had not been sent out yet.

But now.

Xu Jidao only looked at the performance of Zhou Jingxian and Zhou An, and felt that these two candidates had to be changed.

King Jin has deep roots in the court, and if he really wants a bowl of water, King Kang should have the opportunity to compete with King Jin.

Jiang Yan rarely saw his friend's face change, but he didn't chase the topic just now.

Gentlemen are harmonious but different.

Although he and Xu Jidao are close friends, there are some things that they can't get involved in each other.

Ever since he heard that Xu Jidao refused to be Mr. Royal on the front foot and came to Jinling to select talents on the back foot, Jiang Yan knew that this friend was not as simple as it seemed.

The water in the court is very deep.

Jiang Yan was reluctant to pay attention to the affairs of the court, and he also knew nothing about poetry, so he simply changed his words and joked with a smile: "One pot is not enough, why don't you go to 'Dark Fragrance' again Brother Xu and make a few pots of good wine from the Ning family?" ”

"Haha, Brother Jiang, you are worthy of being a monkey, just climb along the pole." Xu Jidao shook the empty wine jug, and also felt tasteless in his mouth.

Good poetry, sure enough, it still has to be paired with good wine.

But just went to Ning Xiaoyou empty-handed to beg for wine, where did he put his old face?

"Brother Jiang, last time you saw Ning Xiaoyou's third brother on the island in the middle of the lake, how did you feel?" Xu Jidao personally poured a glass of imperial tribute wine for Jiang Yan.

On weekdays, Jiang Yan regards this wine as a treasure, and it needs to be tasted drop by drop.

But after he drank the bamboo wine of the Ning family, he felt that the taste was a lot tricky, and the imperial tribute wine was as tasteless as clear soup and little water.

Jiang Yan picked up the cup and took a sip, frowning, "Brother Xu can say what he wants to say." ”

"I heard Piao Ling say, I'd rather fight against you than be weak?"

"It's not."

Yes?

Xu Jidao just wanted to go down the conversation, but when he heard Jiang Yan's rebuttal, he glanced at Piaoling standing next to him.

Piao Ling looked dazed, and carefully recalled the scene at that time: That's right! Master Jiang and Ning Sangongzi fought inseparably at that time, and they didn't win or lose until midnight!

Xu Jidao shook his head when he saw Piaoling and denied Jiang Yan's words, and said in his heart: Could it be that Brother Jiang doesn't look down on Ning Wuji, so he has such a word?

"Brother Xu overestimated me, although I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but the Jiang family is a scholarly family, how can I defeat the Jiangmen, just the ancestral sword technique of the Ning family is beyond my reach, it was the third son of Ning who released the water that day, so I would not fail miserably within a hundred moves."

I see.

Xu Jidao breathed a sigh of relief, and after carefully pondering the deep meaning, he was startled: is this the case?!

"It is said that the old general Ning gave up martial arts and followed literature, but seeing that the children of the Ning family are so outstanding, they must have not forgotten their roots, it seems that the children of the Ning family are not both civil and military, and they should all be able to be civil and martial."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he didn't know what to think, so he shook his head and smiled.

Seeing that his friend denied his words, Xu Jidao hurriedly snatched his cup: "I took a few sips and didn't see less, don't drink it, get down to business, if there is a suitable official position in the government, you can recommend Ning Wuxian." ”

"Nope." Jiang Yan refused without thinking.

Xu Jidao choked half to death, and stared coldly at this inflexible Jiang adult.

After thinking about it, if it weren't for Jiang Yan's inflexibility and rigidity, he would not be at ease today as the prefect of this Jinling land, and he would work together with Su Rui to guard the granary of Jiangnan Province and the treasure land of heavy taxes.

"That's it, Ning Wujian is just a showman, and when he is promoted in the autumn examination, I will personally take care of one or two for him." For Xu Jidao, he revealed that he was not what he seemed to be, he was an idle cloud and wild crane.

Jiang Yan didn't pretend that he didn't hear it as usual, but poured a sip of wine: "When the autumn test is three autumns late, Mr. Ning offended the Ye family, then Ye Tong is a villain, and before that, he found an opportunity to dismiss Ning Weiguo, and Mr. Ning is afraid that he will be in trouble next." ”

"The body is not afraid of the shadow, with you staring, no matter how big the Ye family is, no matter how big it is Zhou An, can it be bigger than Wang Fa?" Xu Jidao said this, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

The open and secret battles in the mall, the water in it is not shallower than in the court.

What's more, everyone in the court struggle still pays attention to certain rules, after all, they are all people who ascend the elegant hall, but most of the competition in this shopping mall is subordinate, plus collusion between officials and businessmen.

Ningfu is weak, and there is nothing cheap.

Xu Jidao had to pour another glass of wine for Jiang Yan: "Brother Jiang, if the Ning family pours it, this bamboo barrel wine will be lost like the Ning family's knife technique." ”

"I recommended Ning Weiguo to Brother Su a few days ago." Jiang Yan pushed the cup back and looked at Mingyue above his head: "While I am still drunk, I will write a letter to Brother Su again to urge him to appoint." ”

Wonderful!

Ning Weiguo was originally a small official of the government, although he was an informal official, he had the experience of being an official, and his recommended position may be higher.

It's just that it's still unsatisfactory compared to Ye Tong's judgment.

"Brother Jiang, what position are you arranged? Can you tell me? Xu Jidao pushed the cup.

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, remembering the release of water from Ning Weiguo's father and son's lineage, and said angrily: "Coolies." ”

Xu Jidao was speechless.

Seeing that Jiang Yan had made up his mind not to leak secrets in advance, he knew that this was a government regulation, so he didn't ask again.

"I'm going to write a letter, Brother Xu, this bamboo barrel wine?" Jiang Yan knocked on the rim of the cup.

Xu Jidao knew that Jiang Yan would do what he said, and Ning Weiguo's regaining his official position was ironclad, and he had to scatter eagles even if he didn't see a rabbit: "I'll go and ask Ning Xiaoyou for some tomorrow." ”

"Why don't you go today?"

"Is it only you who have friends who can write letters? The old man also has to write a letter to let the old friends in the capital listen to today's interesting news. ”

A gleam flashed in Xu Jidao's eyes.

In particular, the poem with his name must reach the ears of today.

Xu Fuzi, the lord of Xian.

If nothing else, Zhou Jingxian's righteous act this time can be exchanged for the edict of a county lord.

This is what Zhou Jingxian deserves.

And Zhou An ...... He has to let the present know how much no one is in sight of Zhou An at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Xu Jidao knew that his decision at this time was mixed with some selfishness.

But he promised that when he wrote the letter, he would be fair and just, objectively tell everything that happened in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion today, and ensure that when he investigates it today, there will be no deviation from the facts.

……

Perfume shop.

As the sun sets, the lively crowd finally disperses.

Ning Wuxian closed the door and began to count the money.

"Ning Gongzi, Ju Xiang said that there is a young lady outside who spent one hundred and twenty taels to buy a bottle of orchid perfume, and you sell it for fifty taels, and they make the difference, you might as well make a few more bottles yourself." Shen Youchu saw that he had almost counted, so he specially reminded him.

Let her watch others make money from Ning Gongzi, which is more uncomfortable than her losing money.

She believes that Ning Gongzi is so smart that if he knows about this matter, he will definitely handle it properly and prevent those speculative traders from making money!

"Fifty for one hundred and twenty for sale?" Sure enough, Ning Wuxian's gesture of weighing the silver paused.
