Shen Youchu, who was happily spinning in circles, stopped when he heard this. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was indeed the case.
She pouted her little mouth and pinched her waist, then hummed to Zhou Jingxian who was watching the excitement and said, "Princess Jingxian, I have prepared your favorite plum blossom perfume for you. I want you to be the focus of the day. Huh, now I regret it, I want to eat alone."
"Goodbye, Miss Shen is the most beautiful woman in the world, no one can be as good as you." Zhou Jingxian quickly coaxed her.
Shen Youchu was not really angry, but she still pretended to be angry. It wasn't until Zhou Jingxian had said all her good things, that she pretended to calm down and asked Mei Xiang to hand over a bottle of perfume with the word "plum blossom" on it. Zhou Jingxian.
Zhou Jingxian has smelled the peach blossom perfume and naturally has expectations for the plum blossom perfume.
But when she got the perfume porcelain bottle, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the straw paper attached to the bottle. Her eyes opened slightly, and she followed the flowing handwriting to outline the word "plum blossom", and asked in surprise. : "Who wrote this word?"
This was the first time she had seen this kind of font.
"Mr. Ning wrote it in his own hand. It's beautiful, as if he was painting." Shen Youchu didn't brag.
She had never seen such a font before. It was more elegant than regular script and slightly more regular than cursive script.
It is somewhat similar to the dog crawling character written by Ning Gongzi before, but the structure between the beginning and the transition is more subtle.
Zhou Jingxian thought that she had seen Ning Wuxian's portrait, and then looked at the handwriting on the bottle, and she became interested in this person: "They say that the words are like the person. I originally thought that Ning Shixian made money by selling poems, and did not care about the rumors from the outside world. , is an unfettered person, but his handwriting is strong and strong, and his demeanor reveals a certain orderly manner..."
"Jingxian, you don't want to win over Ning Gongzi to help you because of these two words, do you?" Shen Youchu was startled, and quickly took the perfume from her hand, and nervously explained: "Ning Gongzi said he didn't want to Don't get involved in the fight for the reserve..."
"I just want to meet this Ning Shixian, and I have no intention of asking him to help me. Recently, Cheng Yi has been entangled by me and seems to have loosened his attitude. I will not change my goal for the time being."
Zhou Jingxian took back the perfume and pulled out the cork.
A refreshing and pleasant plum fragrance emanated from the bottle. It did not have the pyrotechnic smell in incense made from dried plum blossoms. Instead, it had a refreshing feeling in the ice and snow, which made her couldn't help lowering her eyebrows and sniffing deeply.
"It is indeed much stronger than Ye's incense."
Faced with Zhou Jingxian's heartfelt evaluation, Shen Youchu was indifferent to Yourong.
This is made by Ning Gongzi and is unique in the world!
"Master Ning has this secret recipe for making perfume. The Ning family will soon be among the wealthy businessmen in Jinling. If you want to marry into the Ning family in the early days, there won't be that big of an obstacle."
Zhou Jingxian thought that she might not make fifty taels even after running around all night, so she quickly put the cork back on and used it for other purposes.
Since Zhou An deliberately did not send her an invitation, she had to solve the problem and climb the stairs on her own on the day of the gathering.
Her attainments in poetry are far inferior to her ability to kill people. I am afraid she can only climb one or two floors.
In a place where people gather, with the help of this perfume, she will definitely attract the attention of many students and take the opportunity to open up the conversation.
"Jingxian, are you really not going to go to the fourth floor with me?" Shen Youchu hugged Zhou Jingxian's arm and said coquettishly, "I want to take you up, Zhou An won't dare to drive you away."
"I know, but the people rushing to the fourth floor are all people who want to join the King of Jin. The King of Jin is very wealthy and powerful. I just used your island in the middle of the lake to find out the situation of the talented scholar in Jinling, and he followed closely. I have arranged a gathering of talented people at the Xiaosha Hall, so I can only abandon the talented people above me and turn to the students who Zhou An doesn’t pay much attention to."
Zhou Jingxian was also helpless.
But who said she was weak and had no choice?
Since many people defected to the King of Jin, their method of employing people was to select the best and use them. They could pick and choose, and sometimes they could even discard them based on personal preference.
She searches for and selects available talents for her father. While she prefers to lack talents, she also pays more attention to the cultivation and role of talents.
On the first and second floors, you should be able to meet students that Zhou An doesn't pay attention to, but can cultivate.
"Speaking of which, it seems Zhou An hasn't sent an invitation to Mr. Ning yet?" Shen Youchu looked at Ju Xiang and saw Ju Xiang nodding in agreement, thinking about it.
"Jingxian, why don't you ask Mr. Ning to help you and you two go up to the fourth floor together. If you do this, I can guarantee that the two of you will be the most outstanding on the day of the Gathering of Talents."
Shen Youchu really wanted to make a stunning appearance in front of Ning Wushuang.
But she wanted to solve her friend's urgent need.
Zhou Jingxian didn't understand what she was thinking. It was indeed a good idea, but it would require Youchu to come forward and ask Ning Wuchang for help, especially since it was rumored that the questions on each floor of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were extremely difficult.
She didn't want Youchu to owe this favor, and she didn't want to embarrass Ning Wuyan.
"If there is a chance that I can climb the stairs with Mr. Ning, I will ask him to do it myself. If there is no chance, I won't force him." Zhou Jingxian saw that Youchu still wanted to persuade her, so she quickly changed the subject: "I think you are wearing that pink dress The Sichuan brocade dress embroidered with peach blossoms is even more beautiful."
"Really? I like that one too, Mei Xiang. Go and turn it over and I'll try it again."
…
When Ning Wuyan returned to the shop after delivering the perfume from Ji's Mansion, he saw a carriage with the "Ye Mansion" logo parked outside the door, and his second uncle was standing bowed in front of the carriage.
It's Ye Tongpan who is here.
Ning Wuyang thought about how Ye Changlong wanted him to pay 100,000 taels of silver and buy 200 bottles of perfume. Then he saw Ye Tongxuan deliberately showing his second uncle's suppressed situation in front of him, and guessed that the other party might be here. Issued an ultimatum.
When he was still ten steps away from the carriage, Ye Tongpan raised the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. He smiled before saying anything: "Haha, Mr. Ning, long time no see. How are you?"
"Thanks to Mr. Ye for supporting my business, I have been eating well and sleeping soundly recently." Ning Wuyan's words successfully made Ye Changlong, who was following behind and got off the carriage, darken his face.
But soon, Ye Changlong put on a fake smile again, took the initiative to come forward, bowed to him, and bowed.
Ye Tongpan said quickly: "Regarding the matter of Miss Liu's family, it is indeed Changlong who did something wrong. I hope Mr. Ning will be able to tolerate it and forgive me, my unsatisfactory nephew."
"Almost no one in Jinling City is talking about this matter. Master Ye, there is no need to mention it again." Ning Wuyang knew that the other party was putting on a show, and also knew that the Ye family spent a lot of money to suppress the rumors about the Ye and Liu families.
He would not bring Ye Changlong to the door until he could no longer use this matter to stir up any trouble. Such a cautious approach would have no effect if he continued to hold on.
The most that can be said is... Those who abandon me will not be allowed to stay, and those who harm my life will be killed.
Ning Wuyan glanced at his second uncle, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Master Ye, come to me if you have something to do. Don't involve my second uncle."
"Master Ning is joking. I punish Secretary Ning to stand here for an hour, not because of Master Ning, but because he made another mistake." Ye Tongpan raised his hand towards Ning Weiguo like a barking dog.
"Scrivee Ning, you have Mr. Ning, your nephew who is called the Immortal of Poetry. If you make a mistake, you should consult Mr. Ning as soon as possible and ask him to help you correct it. If Mr. Ning doesn't help, your position as a scribe will probably be lost. Not guaranteed."
Ye Changlong, who was standing next to Ye Tongpan, had already stood up straight. When he saw Ning Weiguo, who was full of dissatisfaction but could only endure his uncle's troubles, he had a cunning smile on his face like a villain's triumph.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
He was already very sure that Ning Wuyang would be ruined at the Gathering of Talents, but in order to see Ning Wuyang's aggrieved look, he still went to see Ning Wuyang with his uncle.
Ning Wuyan looked at his second uncle who had not seen him for a few days and seemed to have aged by more than ten years. His expression was slightly sad: "Second uncle has been in office for ten years and has been conscientious and capable. I have nothing to advise him. If Mr. Ye thinks that second uncle cannot If you are qualified for the post of official secretary, you can be dismissed or stay as long as you want. At worst, I will donate some official posts to the second uncle. Second uncle, what do you think?"
