In order to bring peace to a bowl of water, he drafted a list with one person each from the King of Jin sect and the King of Kang sect. Since the matter was not in a hurry, he has not sent it out yet.
But now.
Xu Jidao only looked at the performance of Zhou Jingxian and Zhou An, and felt that these two candidates must be changed.
King Jin had deep roots in the court, and if he really wanted a bowl of water to be even, King Kang should be given the opportunity to challenge King Jin, so that he could have a showdown.
It was rare for Jiang Yan to see his friend's expression change, but he did not pursue the topic just now.
A gentleman is harmonious but different.
Although he and Xu Jidao are close friends, there are some things that each other cannot get involved in.
Ever since he heard that Xu Jidao refused to be Mr. Royal and came to Jinling to select talents, Jiang Yan knew that his good friend was not as simple as he seemed.
The water in the court is very deep.
Jiang Yan didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the court, and he didn't know much about poetry. He simply changed the subject and joked with a smile: "One pot is not enough, why don't Brother Xu go to 'Secret Fragrance' and drink a few more pots of Ning's good wine?" Come?"
"Haha, brother Jiang, you are indeed a monkey, you can climb along the pole." Xu Jidao shook the empty wine bottle and felt that his mouth was tasteless.
Good poetry must be paired with good wine.
But if he just goes to Ning Xiaoyou's place to beg for a drink with nothing, where can he put his old face?
"Brother Jiang, how did you feel when you met Ning Xiaoyou's third brother on the island in the middle of the lake last time?" Xu Jidao personally poured a glass of imperial wine for Jiang Yan.
On weekdays, Jiang Yan regards this wine as a treasure and needs to taste it drop by drop.
But after he drank the Ning family's bamboo wine, he felt that the taste was a lot more tricky, and the imperial wine was as tasteless as a clear soup with only water.
Jiang Yan picked up the cup and took a sip, frowning, "Brother Xu, you can just say whatever you want."
"I heard Piao Ling say that I would rather fight with you than be at a disadvantage?"
"no."
ah?
Xu Jidao was just about to continue what he was saying when he heard Jiang Yan's retort and glanced at Piao Ling standing next to him.
Piao Ling looked at a loss, and carefully recalled the scene at that time: That's right! Mr. Jiang and Third Young Master Ning were having an inseparable fight, and the fight ended in the middle of the night with no outcome in sight!
When Xu Jidao saw Piao Ling shaking his head and denying Jiang Yan's words, he thought to himself: Could it be that Brother Jiang doesn't like Ning Wuyu, so he said this?
"Brother Xu overestimated me. Although I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, the Jiang family is a scholarly family. How can I defeat the generals? The Ning family's ancestral sword skills alone are beyond my reach. That day was Third Young Master Ning, let me go, so that I won't be defeated in a hundred moves."
I see.
Xu Jidao breathed a sigh of relief. After carefully pondering the meaning, he was shocked: Is this so? !
"It is said that General Ning gave up the military to pursue literature. But seeing that the Ning family's children are so outstanding, they must have not forgotten their roots. It seems that not only are the Ning family's children capable of both civil and military skills, they should also be able to do both."
When Jiang Yan heard this, he didn't know what he thought of, shook his head and laughed.
Seeing that his friend denied what he said, Xu Jidao quickly took his cup and said, "I took a few sips and it didn't stop. Don't drink anymore. Let's get down to business. If there is a suitable official position in the government office, I can recommend Ning Wuyi. "
"No." Jiang Yan refused without hesitation.
Xu Jidao choked to death, glaring coldly at Master Jiang who didn't know how to adapt.
On second thought, if Jiang Yan hadn't been flexible and rigid, he wouldn't have been able to trust this person to serve as the prefect of this important land in Jinling, and he and Su Rui would work together to guard Jiangnan Road, the granary and heavily taxed land.
"That's all, Ning Wuyi is just a scholar. When he passes the autumn examination, I will personally deal with him." Xu Jidao revealed that he was not what he seemed, he was just a wandering wild crane.
Jiang Yan did not pretend not to hear as usual, but took a sip of wine: "It will be too late for the autumn exam. Mr. Ning offended the Ye family, and Ye Tongpan was a villain. Before that, he would If we find an opportunity to fire Ning Weiguo from his position, Mr. Ning may be in trouble next time."
"I am not afraid of slanted shadows. With you watching, no matter how big the Ye family is, no matter how big Zhou An is, can it be bigger than Wang Fa?" Xu Jidao said this, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.
The overt and covert fighting in the shopping mall is no shallower than that in the court.
What's more, everyone still pays attention to certain rules when fighting in the court. After all, they are all people who have ascended to the elegant hall, but most of the fights in shopping malls use underhanded methods, coupled with collusion between officials and businessmen.
The Ning Mansion is weak and cannot get any advantage.
Xu Jidao had no choice but to pour another glass of wine for Jiang Yan: "Brother Jiang, if the Ning family fails, this bamboo barrel wine will be lost like the Ning family's sword skills."
"I recommended Ning Weiguo to Brother Su a few days ago." Jiang Yan pushed the cup back and looked at the bright moon above his head: "While he is still drunk, I will write a letter to Brother Su to urge him. Certificate of Appointment.”
Wonderful!
Ning Weiguo was originally a minor official in the government office. Although he was not an official, he had experience as an official and could be recommended for a higher position.
However, compared to Ye Tongpan, it was still unsatisfactory.
"Brother Jiang, what position have you arranged? Can you tell me?" Xu Jidao pushed his cup.
Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, remembering Ning Weiguo's father's inheritance of his son's blood, and said angrily: "He is a coolie."
Xu Jidao was speechless.
Seeing that Jiang Yan had made up his mind not to leak the secret in advance, he knew that this was a government regulation and did not ask further questions.
"I'm going to write a letter, Brother Xu. Is this bamboo barrel wine?" Jiang Yan tapped the rim of the cup.
Xu Jidao knew that Jiang Yan was true to his word, and that Ning Weiguo's return to official position was a certainty. He had to be hawkish even if he didn't see the rabbit: "Tomorrow I will go and ask for some from Little Friend Ning."
"Why not go today?"
"Are you the only one who has friends who can write a letter? I also want to write a letter so that my old friends in the capital can hear today's interesting stories."
A light flashed in Xu Jidao's eyes.
In particular, the poem with his name must be passed on to today's ears.
Master Xu, Princess Xian.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Jingxian's righteous deed this time can be exchanged for an imperial edict from the princess.
This is what Zhou Jingxian deserves.
And Zhou An... He had to let Xiang know how arrogant Zhou An was without the emperor's feet.
Xu Jidao knew that his decision at this time was mixed with some selfish motives.
But he promised that when he wrote the letter, he would be fair and impartial, and objectively describe everything that happened in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion today, and ensure that when he checked it out, there would be no discrepancies with the facts.
…
Perfume shop.
As the sun set, the lively crowd finally dispersed.
Ning Wuhuang closed the door and started counting the money.
"Mr. Ning, Ju Xiang said that there is a wealthy lady outside who spent one hundred and twenty taels on a bottle of orchid perfume. If you sell it for fifty taels, they will resell it and make the difference. You might as well make a few more bottles yourself. " When Shen Youchu saw that he was almost done with counting, he gave a special reminder.
It was more uncomfortable for her to watch others make money from Mr. Ning than for her to lose money.
She believed that Mr. Ning was so smart that if he knew about this matter, he would handle it properly and prevent those opportunistic traders from making money!
"Buy for fifty and sell for one hundred and twenty?" Sure enough, Ning Wuyan's gesture of weighing the money paused.
