Jiang Ning didn't know until the Great Xia Dynasty that the saying that Laba is the New Year has been around since ancient times. After coming out of Nangong Mansion, the two of them had completed their biggest "task". They walked around the street and started to feel a little bit nervous.

It's New Year's Eve.

But just when Jiang Ning walked to the alley in front of his house, he saw a familiar figure everywhere he looked. Although he was a little surprised, thinking about what she said, he didn't feel strange at all. Just appearing now, could it be that

What happened?

After a night of silence, Jiang Ning knew that this matter was not important, otherwise she would have come by now.

At dawn in the morning, Wang Ruoyan went out with the two shopkeepers and Ding Jia. The house had been bought. Yue Ya and Xing'er were focusing on the decoration matters, but one was in charge of the shop and the other was in charge of the restaurant.

On the way, Jiang Ning told Wang Ruoyan about Princess Changping's instructions. Wang Ruoyan didn't believe it at first. Wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the government in Jinling for this kind of thing? But after Jiang Ning explained it, he felt that Jiang Ning's words made some sense.

For example, it is inconvenient for the government to come forward, but it is also very troublesome to express gratitude. When and how to repay the favor is extremely troublesome.

, so it was most appropriate for him, an unrelated person, to come forward. And because Dean Qi had a good relationship with Princess Changping, the matter fell on him. Jiang Ning couldn't shirk it. After all, the Wang family had a good relationship with Princess Changping.

The princess has now become a popular person in the eyes of the prefect and the general, so it is appropriate to do something within one's ability.

"Tonight's poetry meeting, I heard that the Nangong Mansion has specially invited you and me. We must prepare well so as not to embarrass my brother-in-law..."

"There are many talented people in Jinling, and they have seen a lot in the past few days. In comparison, those talented people in Hangzhou are just meager..."

"Whoever says otherwise, of course you should read more, but you also have to step out and take a good look, only then will you realize that the world is vast and there are people outside of us."

Jiang Ning stood in front of the door and was about to run, but he heard the two brothers who had returned from the Eighteen Music Hall talking about this. Wang Zihan was about to speak when he raised his eyes and saw Jiang Ning. He immediately stood there motionless with a look of shame on his face.

He grabbed Wang Zimo.

Wang Zimo was surprised and saw Jiang Ning. Although he was not as ashamed as Wang Zimo, he was not much better. Seeing Jiang Ning about to go out, he immediately hid aside: "Sister...brother-in-law..."

"Just came back?"

"Just... just came back..."

"Well, I heard that the Qinhuai River Eighteenth Music Center is really good, what do you think?"

"It's... not bad..."

"Is it okay? It seems that you two have some good taste..."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... I'm wrong..." Wang Zimo hurriedly stepped forward and took Jiang Ning's arm: "Don't tell your cousin about this. If she finds out, she will definitely break our legs..."

"That's not true. Talented people are romantic. Talented people are romantic. How can one be called a talented person if he is not romantic?" Jiang Ning frowned: "What's more, your cousin is not as...violent as you say..."

"It's not violent...it's more...terrible than violence..." Wang Zihan also stepped forward, wondering.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, already knowing what the two of them were referring to. The entire Wang family's expenses were in Wang Ruoyan's hands, and the people here were no exception. Being romantic definitely requires capital, and their capital is Wang Ruoyan's wallet.

"Today's poetry meeting, you can see for yourselves. You know your own level. You represent the Hangzhou literary world..." Jiang Ning did not agree or refuse. He just said this sentence out of nowhere, leaving the two of them indifferent.

In place.

Wang Zihan and Wang Zimo looked at each other, but they were on the verge of crying. There were many top names going tonight, but it was a pity that they missed such a grand event, but there was nothing they could do about it...

Jiang Ning ran along the main road. He had visited the whole of Jinling in the past few days. This Jinling City is worthy of being a battleground for military strategists. In addition to a Qinhuai River waterway that leads directly to the canal, there are eight city gates, four of which are main gates.

There are city gate towers, Wengcheng, arrow towers, gate towers, suspension bridges and sheep and horses.

Wall, the remaining four side gates also have arrow towers and barbicans. If deployed properly, they can be said to be like iron barrels. Since Manichaeism stormed the city, there are now 50,000 Tiance troops stationed in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and there are 5,000 defenders in Jinling.

, and there are 6,000 soldiers in reserve, which is quite a lot of standing military strength.

"Sir..." the woman walked to the entrance of the alley and shouted softly.

Jiang Ning turned around and followed the woman into a teahouse called "Tea House". He went upstairs and sat in the corner closest to the window. Jinling was still asleep in the early morning, and these two were the only ones on the entire second floor.

A pot of tea.

"When did you arrive?" Jiang Ning glanced at the steaming black tea and asked.

This woman was none other than the person in charge of Jing'an Division, Erqianxun. At this moment, Erqianxun was dressed as a man, but she could still tell that she looked handsome. She replied: "My subordinate has been here for half a month.

Mainly, I investigated Nangong Mansion and found out about Mo

The prefect's office and the general's office have been notified of the Manichaean sect's affairs, but with little success. The Tiance army is even more disapproving, because five months ago, the Manichaean attack on the city was quelled by the Tiance army.

In their opinion, they are all just a bunch of people."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly: "This is normal, we just do what we should do. As for the Nangong family, why, besides doing business, do they have other identities?"

Erqianxun nodded: "Young Master is wise..."

Erqianxun was about to continue, but was interrupted by Jiang Ning: "Don't say such things in the future. You and I are about the same age. Just call me Brother Ning. What is wise or not? I am not Zhuge Kongming, nor anything."

Zhiduoxing, when you say this, you are already living."

Erqianxun was stunned, then smiled: "Brother Ning... you're right, but I'm overly concerned..."

Immediately he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "This Nangong family is related to the left prime minister. Ten years ago, the Nangong family was not the number one in Jinling, and the business was not as big as that, but it was still a wealthy one. At that time, there was competition

The opponent, the Song family, was competing for the water transportation between Zhenjiang Prefecture and Ningshan Prefecture, that is, this section of the Qinhuai River. It was a lucrative job, but Nangong Jing’s youngest sons, Nangong Wan and Nangong Yaowen,

His younger brother died in the Qinhuai River when he was one year and seven months old. Although the final investigation result was not that the Song family was responsible, the Nangong family did not recognize the final result and took the family property to the capital.

Now Lord Yin Gao of Jingzhao Prefecture has climbed up to the left prime minister and branded the Song family as colluding with bandits and conspiring to rebel. He executed everyone in the family. It is said that a ten-year-old child escaped, but nothing happened later.

"

"Since then, the Nangong family has become the number one in Jinling. The money they paid back then has been recovered long ago, and they have also climbed up the ranks of the Zuo Prime Minister. In recent years, many businesses in Jinling and Zhenjiang have been done on behalf of the Zuo Prime Minister and Beijing.

He was in charge of the Zhao Mansion, so even if the prefect and the general saw him, they would still give him three points. Now Tiance Army guard He

Sheng Ming was a general who fought against the Turks ten years ago, but on the first day he took over the defense of Zhenjiang Mansion, he established a relationship with the Nangong family. Although General Tiance's Mansion had many disagreements with Zuo Xiang in the court,

But it doesn’t prevent the people below from getting closer. This is also the strength of Nangong Jing. Brother Ning should be more careful."

After Jiang Ning heard this, he was a little surprised. According to this progress, in ten years, Nangong Jing can do more than this. What is the reason why he is restraining his temper now and pushing Nangong Wan out?
