Jiang Yan saw that the guard was confused and did not explain it, so he wrote a letter in a hurry, painted it with fire paint, and sent it to Su Rui, who was on patrol in other states and counties.
The child was willing to listen to his advice and take the martial arts exam, so he gave the child a big gift before passing the exam.
Let the children have no worries so that they can defend their home and country, become the general they dream of, and watch the iron horse and gold.
…
Ye Tongpan was so busy that the moon was at the top of the sky. When he returned to Ye Mansion from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he was still in high spirits.
He sent someone to call Ye Changlong, and talked proudly about how he and Mr. Huang would have a dinner with Mr. An Xiaohou tonight.
"Changlong, as long as the King of Jin becomes the crown prince and ascends the dragon throne in the future, Mr. An Xiaohou will most likely be the future prince. As long as you succeed in introducing Shixian, you will also have the opportunity to work with Mr. An Xiaohou. Come to the dinner and let Mr. An Xiaohou remember your name."
Ye Tongpan did not forget to praise him after all the good things he promised.
"I heard that thanks to your visit to Ping An Medical Center today, I was able to invite him to attend the Gathering of Talents. I feel wronged. You must have said a lot of good things in front of Ning Wu, right?"
"When I went there, Miss Shen and Miss Ji were also there. I was afraid of being too obvious and arousing others' suspicion, so I didn't say much good things. I only spent ten thousand taels of silver."
Ye Tongpan's smile froze, and he looked in disbelief at his eldest nephew, who was still smug.
"You gave Ning Wuhuang 10,000 taels of silver to invite him to the Gathering of Talents?"
spendthrift!
Ye Tongfen's annual dividend was only about 100,000 taels. Seeing his eldest nephew squandering a lot of money, he felt angry and anxious but couldn't get angry.
The Ye family's business is all managed by the second brother's family, and Ye Changlong is the young master's family. If he talks too much about controlling money, the second brother will not be happy to spend money when he is in the officialdom in the future.
"Uncle, don't look at the fact that I gave Ning Wuhuang these ten thousand taels of silver today. In seven days, he will go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and ask for a hundred thousand taels in return!"
Facing Ye Changlong's confident look, Ye Tongpuan slapped him on the head and shouted angrily: "Are you still doing loan sharking?!"
Daxing severely cracked down on loan sharking that disrupted people's normal lives.
Before he became a general judge, the Ye family just let usury loans go, and the people did not sue the officials.
But now he has become a government official. If people know that he knows the law and breaks the law, he will not be able to keep his official title!
Borrowing 10,000 taels and paying back 100,000 taels after seven days, even if it was the Ye family who made the money, Ye Tongpan felt that the eldest nephew had a dark heart.
"Uncle, this is not a loan shark, this is a serious business..."
After Ye Tongpan learned the whole story, he realized that it was not his nephew who had a dark heart, but Ning Wuhuang who had a brain problem: "If you lose to incense, you will lose ten if you give one. Is he crazy about money?"
"Who knows, anyway, I sent my servant to keep an eye on the Ping An Medical Center. He said that for a whole day, except for buying petals and firewood from the flower house, Ning Wuyang did nothing else. With these alone, he can make incense that is even better than incense. It’s simply wishful thinking to have a new perfume.”
Ye Tongpan didn't understand how incense was made, and he also knew that the process was complicated.
That's why it sells so expensively.
As for Ning Wuhuang's fifty-two bottles of perfume, the price is definitely not cheap. There are no other materials except petals and firewood... At first glance, it can't be made into a perfume that is more exquisite than incense.
"This Ning Wuyan is sometimes shrewd and sometimes stupid. Could it be that he is really not a poet, but has an expert's guidance behind his back?"
Thinking of the questions asked by Xiaoxiang Hall, in order to avoid the situation of writing when I landed on the island that day, I improvised.
Ye Tongpuan couldn't help but have a headache: "I specifically told the young Marquis about the Poetry Immortal during the dinner tonight. If Ning Wuchang is a fake Poet Immortal, where can I find a Poetry Immortal to introduce to the Young Marquis? "
"Uncle, don't worry. I have spent a lot of money to recruit a lot of talents. If Ning Wuhao performs abnormally, we can use this to seize him and make him loyal to the Ye family."
This plan was what Ye Tongpan agreed to at the beginning, but his idea was to cooperate with Ning Wuhuang and build momentum for Ning Wuhuang, but now he had to change it to keep Ning Wuhuang's title of Poet Immortal.
Ye Tongpan thought that in this way, it would be better to control Ning Wushan, so he could only remind Ye Changlong: "Keep things hidden."
"In order to prevent accidents from happening, I need your uncle's guidance on which direction to prepare." A calculation flashed in Ye Changlong's eyes.
The title of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion has always been kept secret.
It will only be announced on the day of the gathering.
He did not intend to help Ning Wuhuang establish his position as Poet Immortal. His real idea was to take advantage of this opportunity to step on Ning Wuhuang and ascend to the throne!
Ye Tongpan pondered for a moment, not wanting to leak out the topic in case the incident came to light and the young Marquis held him accountable.
Then I thought about the many people at tonight's banquet. Everyone has selfish motives and wants to introduce their own children to the young marquis. It is certain that some of the questions will be revealed.
He waved to Ye Changlong: "This matter can only be known to you and me, and no third party can know."
"Uncle, don't worry." Ye Changlong said with confidence, he listened carefully to the questions from the first floor to the fourth floor.
After listening, he couldn't help but secretly marveled.
Fortunately, his uncle missed the question in advance, otherwise it would have been too late to ask those ghostwriters to act as personal servants to help him that day.
"Uncle, these questions are really difficult. I think even Xu Shiwang might not be able to climb the fourth floor."
The title was exactly what he wanted.
It not only tests your poetry writing skills and experience, but also prevents you from writing poems in advance.
The original question "Four Friends in Winter and Expressing Ambition Through Things" that I wanted to go to the island in the middle of the lake was relatively broad, but this kind of question could only be entered in the lobby on the first floor. If you want to go to the second floor, the question is restricted to a certain range.
It gives people the feeling of taking a test in autumn or spring.
Ye Tongpan thought of the embarrassing scene where everyone couldn't answer the question when they saw it. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Who says it's not true? But the young marquis said that there are many talented people in Jiangnan. He believes that someone will climb up to the fourth floor and become famous all over the world. .”
"I believe too."
Ye Changlong thought to himself: Once you know the question, you just need to prepare a few answers in advance.
He can also go up to these four floors!
"Changlong, just ask those ghostwriters to help you prepare the answers to the third floor. I will wait for you on the third floor that day. As long as there are few people on the fourth floor, I can take you to the fourth floor. Go join in the fun and become familiar with the young Marquis."
Colleagues who had dinner together today tacitly understood this.
The young Marquis told them the topic in advance, which naturally gave the disciples who were loyal to King Jin a chance to shine in front of the talented people from 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.
Snapped!
Ye Tongpian slapped Ye Changlong hard on the head, the force was so strong that Ye Changlong took a breath of pain.
"Changlong, it's important for people to know themselves. Climbing the fourth floor without real talent will only harm you. Even if the recommendation of Ning Wuyan is successful, you still have to pass the current level. This is a world-shaking wealth and a beheading crisis. , the water is too deep here, you can’t control it.”
Facing Ye Tongpan's teachings, Ye Changlong pretended to listen carefully, but he was making calculations in his heart.
