Chapter 320

(second watch today, for monthly ticket and subscription!)

It is said that Guo Lingfeng came to "meet friends through literature". The old shopkeeper's face was a little worried and his tone was a lot colder: "my guest, Xiao Ning didn't come to the store because he didn't have a job these days. If you want to find him, go to his house!"

Guo Lingfeng is used to being warm and cold. The old shopkeeper has a good attitude towards him as a "guest" who doesn't buy things. Some shop owners even drive people out directly.

After inquiring about the specific location of Ning caichen's house, Guo Lingfeng left jibaozhai and walked to Nancheng. Jinhua mansion is quite rich, but Nancheng is a pure slum.

I think so. Ning caichen is just a poor scholar. It's normal to live in a slum.

Guo Lingfeng listened all the way to find Ning caichen's home. He saw that the small courtyard was as old as expected. He smiled and went to knock on the door.

A fruit vendor nearby asked, "young master, are you looking for Xiucai Ning?"

Guo Lingfeng nodded and said, "yes, I'm looking for him!"

The peddler smiled and said, "he's not at home. Most of this time, he helps people write letters at the Guanyin Temple in the north of the city. You can go there and find it. Maybe he's there!"

Guo Lingfeng thanked him and bought some pears to take care of the vendor's business.

There were a lot of ancient gold, silver and copper coins in his system storage space, but his copper coins in the Song Dynasty were not in circulation in this era, so he had to pay with broken silver. Only a few pears, as long as more than ten Wen, the silver coins he gave the vendor weighed at least three percent, enough to buy hundreds of pears.

When Guo Lingfeng waved his hand and said he didn't need change, the vendor couldn't help thanking him. He also took him to the Guanyin Temple in the north of the city to find Ning caichen.

For one thing, Guanyin temple is much more popular, and his fruit will certainly sell a lot. Second, the vendor is really simple. He thought he could repay Guo Lingfeng for his benefits.

When I came to the Guanyin Temple in the north of the city, I really saw a small stall on a street corner, with a flag cloth signboard, which said "write a letter for me". At the booth, Ning caichen was wearing a white Confucian robe and was concentrating on writing a letter.

Guo Lingfeng stood as like as two peas, rosy lips and pretty white teeth. He looked exactly like a green Leslie Cheung.

Guo Lingfeng is now wearing exclusive combat clothes, but he has a 50% charm bonus. Even so, he feels that the other party seems to be more handsome than himself.

This is the peak period of Zhang Guorong's appearance. The ancients called "elegant and beautiful youth", which is generally what they said, isn't it?

Guo Lingfeng approached slowly and saw that his writing paper was full of small letters. His handwriting was quite beautiful. He was worthy of being a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and his calligraphy level was not low.

"It's done, a total of 100 words!" Ning caichen wrote a letter and said to an old woman nearby.

The old woman looked puzzled and said, "young master Ning, I didn't take so much money out today. Can I owe you two days first and bring it to you next time?"

Ning caichen pondered a little and said, "old man, writing letters for me also costs pen, ink and paper. Give as much as you take with you!"

The old woman took a cloth bag out of her arms and counted it for a long time before she handed it to him. She had only 57 Wen.

Ning caichen took the money and saw the old woman get up and leave with the letter. Then he saw Guo Lingfeng standing in front of the stall.

"Young master, do you want to find Ning to write a letter?" Ning caichen looked at Guo Lingfeng and was a little surprised at his short hair, but he set up a stall to do business and would not comment on the shape of the guests.

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "is your excellency Mr. Ning caichen?"

Ning caichen was stunned and asked, "yes, I'm Ning caichen. I don't seem to know you?"

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "I'm abrupt. Let me introduce myself. My name is Guo Lingfeng. I heard that childe Ning is famous for his poetry and calligraphy in Jinhua mansion, so I'm here to pay a special visit!"

Ning caichen is just a scholar. Although he is a famous scholar, much better than those children, how can he be called "famous for poetry in Jinhua mansion"? The words can only be said to be well written.

Ning caichen Jun blushed and said, "Brother Guo praised me. Where is Ning famous?"

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "it's almost noon now. Young master Ning hasn't eaten yet? Why don't we find a place to eat and talk while eating?"

Ning caichen hesitated and nodded, "OK!"

He cleaned up the stall and entrusted it to the monk of Guanyin temple to take care of it. With Guo Lingfeng, he came to the "zuixiang building" near Guanyin temple.

Guo Lingfeng just found a restaurant casually. He didn't know that this "zuixiang restaurant" was the most famous restaurant in Jinhua mansion. The wine and vegetables here are well-known. The "Taibai drunk" brewed by the restaurant is a famous wine in the whole Jinhua Prefecture.

"Brother Guo, it's so expensive here!" Ning caichen hesitated when he went to the restaurant. He only made tens of Wen by writing a letter for others. Does it cost two or three hundred Wen even for the cheapest dishes in the building?

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "please rest assured, childe Ning. It's just a table of wine and vegetables. Guo still can afford it!"

Ning caichen followed him into the restaurant.

Under the guidance of the waiter, they went to the elegant room on the second floor. Guo Lingfeng didn't know what special dishes were here, so he said to the waiter, "just give us some special dishes in your store and two pots of good wine!"

The waiter smiled and said, "my guest, our 'zuixiang building' has been an old shop for hundreds of years. The best wine is called 'Taibai Zui'. It is said that the poet Li Taibai had a good drink and couldn't afford to get drunk!"

Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "OK, I want this' Taibai drunk ', two pots!"

"OK!" the waiter smiled and told the kitchen.

Ning caichen seemed to be a little restrained. He sat near the window and looked out of the window from time to time.

Not long ago, the waiter came with wine and vegetables, four meat, three vegetables and a soup. Guo Lingfeng took a chopstick at random and tasted it. He immediately smiled and said, "the taste is really good. Childe Ning, please move the chopsticks!"

Ning caichen also ate some, then filled Guo Lingfeng's wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "today, I met Brother Guo Pingshui, and Brother Guo treated me so well. Ning was really terrified, so he had to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and a glass of wine to Brother Guo!"

Guo Lingfeng picked up his glass and drank it after clinking it with him. He said, "don't you wonder why Guo came to you, childe Ning?"

Ning caichen said with a smile, "Brother Guo has an extraordinary bearing. If you want to tell me, you will naturally tell me. Why should Ning do this?"

Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "yes! Childe Ning, to tell you the truth, I intend to open a shop in Jinhua mansion that specializes in buying stationery. I want you to condescend to be a shopkeeper with a monthly salary of twenty liang of silver. Would you like to?"

Ning caichen was stunned.

He is a scholar, but he is not a leader in the county test, government test and hospital test. He can only make a little money by helping people write letters on behalf of others, and occasionally run errands to collect money for jibaozhai. Only then can he barely support himself and his mother at home. His life is very tight.

Although he still had the dream of continuing to take the exam, now suddenly a big pie fell from the sky, and it was a good job with a monthly salary of 20. He was stunned in an instant.

"Brother Guo... Can you tell me why you asked me to be the shopkeeper?"
