On August 22, the day before the birthday banquet of the lord of Huaizhu, Ji Ning was left alone at home to write a textbook for the "General Education Class", and he wanted to make the content he wrote as easy to understand as possible, first let Mi Zhirong learn it, and then consider letting the students of Sanwei Academy learn it.

"Young master, why don't you go out and have a look? It's lively outside, a lot of people are talking about the township test, they are guessing who can solve the yuan, and there are calligraphy and painting stalls to set up gambling games to bet on who will win the yuan, slaves believe that you will be able to win. ”

Yuling has been at home for the past few days, but since yesterday she went out with the maid and the next person to buy vegetables once, she came back and chattered, for the folk gambling stalls to set up odds for Xie Yuan, she was a little resentful, in her opinion, her own young master is bound to solve the yuan, in fact, she doesn't even know what Xie Yuan is, but she knows that "Xie Yuan" is very powerful, it must be in her own young master's pocket.

Ji Ning was writing something, and when he heard this, he looked up with a smile and asked, "Then did you buy it?" ”

"They said that the odds of the young master in the solution of the yuan are one hundred and twenty, and the slave and maid have no savings, but they are angry that they look down on the young master, so I bought three coins of silver, young master, you must not let the slave and maid down, I asked back, if the young master can't pass the exam, the slave's three coins of silver will be wasted." Yu Ling's little face was pitiful, she said this, but she obviously didn't think about what would happen if she didn't buy it.

The little girl is frugal on weekdays, Ji Ning gives her a little pocket money, she is reluctant to buy the beautiful pearl and jade hairpin, although the beads are all inferior pearls, and even the jade is just scraps, but Xiao Nizi is very good at living a budget. asked her to pay three coins of silver at a time, and she was so distressed that she was about to cry.

Ji Ning sighed in his heart: "Gambling is harmful." ”

"Come here." Ji Ning beckoned and let Yu Ling come to his side, Yu Ling's eyes widened, and he came to Ji Ning's side with curiosity, Ji Ning took out a small silver coin weighing one or two from his arms and stuffed it in her hand, "You are not allowed to go to the word flower stall next time, do you know?" Gambling can make people lose their nature, you are so frugal, but for the sake of a moment of gambling three dollars of silver, will you not go bankrupt in the future? ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves and maids don't. Yu Ling handed the silver back to Ji Ning, "The slave spent her own silver, and she didn't touch the silver that the young master gave me." ”

Ji Ning said with a straight face: "No matter who you use for the three coins of silver, this is what I will reward you from the young master, let you buy beautiful clothes, buy beautiful pearls and jade hairpins, and buy beautiful flowers to wear, so that the young master's eyes can look more comfortable every day, not for you to enjoy, if you don't sell it, or don't give the young master face, then I will be unhappy in the future, can you bear it?" ”

"Huh?" Yu Ling was frightened when she saw Ji Ning's face was not good, she bowed her head and said slightly, "Young master, it's the slave maid who is wrong, the slave maid shouldn't go to the calligraphy and painting stall Young Master Zhong Xie Yuan, and he shouldn't tell you about it, making you unhappy." The slave will pay attention to it later. ”

Looking at the salivating little Yuling, Ji Ning liked it very much, grabbed her hand, comforted her, and then put the small silver coin in his hand, and said: "Go out with me in the afternoon, spend all the silver ingots, buy what you like, only you are beautiful, young master, I am happy, you know?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Ling thought that he had done something wrong, and what Ji Ning said was what it was.

On weekdays, even if Ji Ning gave her a little pocket money, she saved it and never dared to say that she would spend money indiscriminately, but this time it was different, Ji Ning ordered her to use this small silver ingot to buy beautiful ornaments, Ji Ning said that it was for her own eyes, but Yu Ling was very moved, and said with a shy face: "Young master, thank you, it was the slave who was wrong, and the slave and the maid did not dare to go to the gambling stall in the future." ”

Ji Ning smiled: "Crying and laughing, like what, go back and dress up beautifully, and go out together after lunch, don't embarrass the young master like an ugly bastard, you know?" The maid's good luck is a matter of my young master's face. ”

"Hmph, the slave can dress up, and the young master must not be embarrassed." After Yu Ling finished speaking, he ran away and went back to the house to dress up, Ji Ning finally gained calm, and he no longer had to listen to Xiao Yuling chattering beside him, and wrote his textbook with peace of mind.

……

……

The banquet of Chongwang's Mansion is on the evening of August 23, it is a dinner party, Ji Ning will not be too anxious, because the afternoon will pass, and he will also be with Tang Xie and them, and he can enter Chongwang's Mansion before nightfall, unlike Tang Xie and the others who are at home to prepare the congratulatory text of the Huaizhu County Lord and the etiquette, Ji Ning is not too concerned about this, he does not think that he can have the opportunity to speak publicly on the occasion of so many celebrities and talents, and it is difficult for them, the younger students, to perform in this kind of social occasion where high-ranking officials and nobles gather.

Even if Zhao Yuanqi, the son of King Chong, admires him, Zhao Yuanqi is just a child who has not grown up in the eyes of King Chong, and he will not have much right to speak.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Ji Ning took Yu Ling to the street, because Yu Ling "spent money on orders", not to mention how happy she was after coming out, the street stall was her favorite place to stop, but she was afraid of letting Ji Ning wait, so she always ran in front, looked left and right, and when Ji Ning came over, she was dazzled, and there were few times to ask the price, let alone spend the small silver coin she was holding in her hand.

"Young master, there are so many, the slaves and maids can't see it, what do you think is good-looking?" Yu Ling could only turn to Ji Ning for help in the end.

Ji Ning smiled slightly: "It's better to pick what you like." ”

"No, no, the slave maid bought these to make the young master's eyes look comfortable, of course you have to choose what the young master likes, in fact, the slave and the maid also want to know, what kind of jewelry the young master likes to see the slave wear." Yu Ling's little face is pitiful, but her gaze is extremely sincere, because she doesn't dress up on weekdays to show outsiders, Ji Ning's preference is the highest standard for her to choose jewelry, and women are the ones who please themselves, if the things she buys are what Ji Ning doesn't like, then it makes no sense for her to buy them back.

"As long as it is an ornament you like, the young master likes it, you can buy it, if the silver is not enough, the young master will give it to you." Ji Ning said with a smile.

"No, no, the young master will give one or two silvers, which is already much better, and if the young master gives it again, then the slave will really not know what to do." Then the slave and maid will buy the ones that they wanted to buy before but were reluctant to buy it, I am afraid that the young master will not like it, and the young master will not like it, so the slave and maid will change to something else......"

Yu Ling also took great pains to make Ji Ning pleasing to the eye, which also shows that she cares about Ji Ning very much.

Ji Ning didn't say much, walking on the street with her, in fact, he was also going in the direction of Sanwei Academy, and after writing the textbook in the past few days, it was time to give it to Mi Zhirong. Let Mi Zhirong take it back to study for a few days, and if there is something she doesn't understand, then "learn from each other".
