Chapter 39 Duan Inkstone

The things were moved away, and the house looked much more refreshing.

In addition to teapots and tea cups, there are also fruit plates on the table. Yesterday was lychees, today was lychees and lychees.

The lychee peel is green and red, and the flesh is as color as white wax, crisp and sweet, and fragrant.

There are also pears, the meat is as tender as snow, which moistens the lungs and clears dryness, making people swallow their saliva.

The little maid looked at Ji Qingning and said, "These fruits are all tributes. The emperor is particularly fond of the third young master of Duke Yu's mansion. Every day, a serving of the fruits supplied in the palace will be sent to the academy to him."

Ji Qingning had no reaction and continued to drink tea.

The emperor favored the playboy and even his own father, Duke Yu, could not control him. Is it rare to supply daily fruits?

What’s hateful is that the plate of fruit yesterday, Wen Xuan ate a lychee, and the remaining half of the plate was replaced with a new one early in the morning.

Ji Qingning put down the teacup and asked the little maid, "Did you send the medicine you asked you to catch to Mr. Zhao?"

The little maid replied quickly, "I'll give it to him in the morning."

Ji Qingning slept well last night, but the little maid tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She grew up so old that she had almost never separated from the girl, and she had never sleeped in the same room as the man.

The little maid was worried. Although she lied to her father that Ji Qingning would not live with others, but who knew whether this paper could cover the fire? If it burned one day, she would be beaten to death by her father.

I was worried that before dawn, the little maid got up, took the money and went out to the street, bought a carriage and took it to the academy.

She wanted to go to the academy to find Ji Qingning, but the rules of the academy were there, and no servant would come in until time.

The little maid thought of Zhao Yuan's illness and coughed endlessly.

She took the medicine bag to the academy and said that the medicine for Zhao Yuan to treat him would not be delayed.

Speaking of this, the little maid was angry, "I wanted to borrow medicine to send to the academy, but the Shutong from the academy took the medicine and said to send it to Mr. Zhao. The medicine entered the academy, but I couldn't come in. I don't know if the Shutong was reliable or did he send the medicine to Mr. Zhao."

Ji Qingning said, "It is related to the lives of the academy students, and the book boy dare not take it lightly."

"Young Master Zhao is not far away, I will go and see him later."

Zhao Yuan is her first friend in the academy.

I am so sick that I still come to study, and my desire to study is admirable.

The little maid nodded in a hurry. When she thought of something, she walked towards the little couch. She put a bundle on the little couch. The little maid opened the bundle and took out an inkstone from the bundle for Ji Qingning to see.

The inkstone is excellent, no worse than the one that Wen Xian had broken by her.

It looked a little familiar, Ji Qingning looked at the little maid, "Is this the inkstone on my desk in my bedroom?"

This little maid broke a porcelain bottle, and she wanted to save money to pay for it. Before she returned the porcelain bottle, she felt very painful for spending two taels of silver. Now she uses the inkstone for her to use? This shouldn't be true.

The little maid nodded and said, "It's that piece."

"My father asked me about my girl's situation in the academy yesterday. I was afraid that my father would find out about lying, so he said that the girl accidentally broke the inkstone, which was still a valuable Duan inkstone. Then my father asked me to use this inkstone to compensate the girl. It was also Duan inkstone, which should be enough to compensate them."

Ji Qingning said, "But isn't this the owner of the courtyard?"

The little maid shook her head, "My father said that this inkstone was given to you by the owner of the courtyard. It was originally asked to bring it to you when the master returned to Taiping Town, but when the girl entered the capital, she used it first. It was your thing."

Although it is a bit rude to compensate others for the things they gave, whoever makes them poor is the powerful and powerful.

"I was afraid that my father would not be reliable, so I asked the master, and the master said yes," said the little maid.

Even her father said it was OK, then there would be no problem.

Ji Qingning placed Duan inkstone on the desk. In fact, except for a broken corner, Wen Xuan did not affect the use, or even did not pay attention to it. Even the beauty did not affect it. Wen Xuan has not attacked her until now, and probably did not find it.

The little maid swept her eyes through the room, worried, "The things in this room are very valuable. One Duan inkstone is enough for us to pay. If we accidentally drop something else, we can't afford it."

The little maid felt that her girl was suitable for living in a lower-level school, and the bed and table inside were not valuable. She didn't have to blink if she was damaged.

Ji Qingning was going to see Zhao Yuan, but he met Wen Xuan when he was out. Ji Qingning said, "I accidentally broke a corner of your inkstone yesterday, I compensated you for a new one and put it on the desk."

After saying that, Ji Qingning walked away.

Yunyang Hou Shizi stood behind Wen Xuan and smiled, "Brother Wen's inkstone is a top-notch Duan inkstone. How can he, a son of a seventh-rank official, afford to pay for it."

"My father is a third-rank official," Prince Suning reminded.

"…The third-rank official can afford Duan Inkstone with his salary?" Yunyang Houzi said with a smile.

It is definitely not affordable to rely on salary.

Wen Xuan entered the room and sat down to have tea. Yunyang Hou Shizi glanced at the desk curiously. He was about to sit down. This glance made him bent halfway and straightened up.

He walked to the desk and said in surprise, "I really paid for a Duan inkstone."

Prince Suning was peeling lychees when he heard this, "How is that possible?"

He remembered that his father mentioned Taiping Town.

Taiping Town was not peaceful at all more than ten years ago.

Bandits are rampant.

The court sent several county magistrates, either dying on the road or being killed by bandits. After the three county magistrates were killed, the court could not find any officials who dared to go to Taiping County to take office.

Later, the court wanted to find a prestigious gentry in Taiping County. Mr. Ji was a famous figure in Taiping Town. Mrs. Ji was terminally ill. The doctor said that one or two flesh and blood needed to be used as medicine. Mr. Ji cut a piece without saying a word. He was famous for his filial piety and brotherhood. He was known throughout the world and was filial and honest in charge.

On the day he was in office, bandits went down the mountain and shouted in front of the Taiping County Government Office, so arrogant that they even stomped the plaque.

Just when everyone was sweating for Ji Huaishan, he came out of the government office, wearing an official uniform, and his mighty aura was trembling with all directions.

The bandits rode on the horse and asked Ji Huaishan to kneel down and kowtow, so he let him continue to be the county magistrate.

Ji Huaishan said nothing. A broken armed man followed him stepped forward and overturned the shouting bandits from the horse's back. With one hand, he slapped the dozen bandits who came to provoke them.

The dozen bandits were hung on the city gate, which was both relieved and made the whole town anxious.

What is relieved is that I have been bullied by the bandits for so many years, and there are also times when bandits fall. The uneasiness is because I am afraid of causing even more crazier revenge from the bandits.

However, the revenge did not come, because that night, the man with broken arms broke into the bandit's nest and took the bandits into full force.

From then on, Taiping County was as famous as it was, and there was nothing to do.

If you can pacify the disaster of a country and keep the people in a corner, you will definitely be a good official. The salary of a seventh-rank official cannot buy half a Duan inkstone without eating or drinking for a year.

Prince Su Ning felt that Prince Yunyang must have been teasing him. When he walked over, he could see that Prince Yunyang was in his hand with a Duan inkstone. He dared not believe it, "It's really a Duan inkstone."

After taking a few more glances, Prince Suning turned his eyebrows, "Why do I look familiar with Duan inkstone..."

Prince Yunyang Hou was laughing, "Of course it looks familiar. The one you gave to your father last year is exactly the same as this Duan inkstone."

"I remember when the shopkeeper sold it to you, he said that this pattern of Duan inkstone is only one piece, so it is one hundred taels more expensive than others. At that time, Prince Lin of Jin asked, "You are afraid that he will rob you, and you will pay faster than anyone else."
