Jun Jiuling

The New Year's Eve in Beijing is coming.

The sound of sporadic firecrackers spread in the street, and there were more children laughing and playing on the street. The shops were decorated with lights and festoons, and people flocked to the street to buy new year's goods regardless of the severe cold.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and at the same time there is news that the Jinren Conference and the war will stop, bringing smiles back to the faces of the people.

With a snap, half a dry biscuit was thrown into a broken bowl.

This made the half-dead beggar wake up, ecstatically grabbed the pancakes, and kowtowed excitedly to the chubby passer-by.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle." He said excitedly, not sure if it was because of the northern dialect or because his frozen tongue was stiff and vague.

The passers-by didn't care either.

"I'm happy today. I'll reward you with a bite of cake." He said, walking over unsteadily.

The beggar just got up and couldn't wait to eat the pancakes. Although there was no heat left, the pancakes were still soft, unlike the ones that were harder and colder than ice cubes.

It's been a long time since I ate such a delicious thing. While eating, the beggar burst into tears, but it didn't take long.

Just two months ago, he had a home. Although it wasn't very rich, it could still provide shelter from the wind and rain. Although the family didn't have much money, it could still have two hot meals a day.

Pancakes like this are used to feed pigs or chickens.

The beggar holds the pancake in his hand.

"My home is in Liujiazhai, Bazhou..." he murmured, "I used to yearn for the capital, but I never thought that I would come to the capital like this. Now I miss my home more than the capital..."

Someone stopped in front of him.

"Where is your home?" A gentle male voice fell from above his head.

He spoke with the same accent as the beggar.

The beggar raised his head excitedly.

"Are you from Bazhou too?" He asked.

Looking up, he saw a gentle and handsome official with a handsome face, followed by a man and a servant.

Ning Yunzhao shook his head.

"I'm not." He said, and resumed his official language, "I have a friend who is."

The beggar didn't know what to say. It stands to reason that he should seize this opportunity to beg. After all, these two men seem to be very rich, especially the young man next to the official. He is dressed in luxurious and dazzling clothes. Who did you learn from? You smell like copper all over your body.

But beggars just don't want to beg today, and beggars also have the right to be willful.

He just lowered his head and gnawed on the pancakes in a daze.

The little official leaned over and put a bag of money into his arms.

"Survive this winter and live well." He said, pausing for a moment, "Your home will be gone in the future."

Until I walked out for a while, I could still hear the cry of the beggar.

Chen Qi shook his head.

"Little officer Ning, you are really bad." He said, "This person is already pitiful enough, and you still tell him the news."

"I gave him the money." Ning Yunzhao said, "He will know the news sooner or later, but when he cries, no one will give him the money."

Chen Qi sneered.

"Master Ning Shi, good advice." He said, putting his hands into his sleeves, avoiding the children who were running towards him, "Is your uncle okay?"

"It's okay." Ning Yunzhao said, "I will burn the poems he writes every day with my own hands."

Chen Qi laughed again.

Obviously, Ning Yan was angrily cursing and cursing the emperor at home, so naturally these poems could not be released, otherwise he would be charged with some kind of crime, and the Ning family would really be over.

"Master Ning Shi, are you alright?" Chen Qi asked in a low voice.

Ning Yan was deposed, but the tenth son of Ning was still an official in the court.

"How can I be busy? I haven't said a word from the beginning to the end." Ning Yunzhao said, "I do my job diligently and conscientiously, and I can't be dismissed just because I am my uncle's nephew. Or demoted? What my uncle committed is not a serious crime."

Then he smiled again.

"What's more, His Majesty is a benevolent king."

Chen Qi laughed again.

"Young officer Ning is really good at speaking, no wonder everyone likes you." He said.

Although Ning Yan was deposed, Ning Yunzhao's popularity in the court has risen instead of falling, mainly because among those young low-level officials, many people were reminded by him not to participate in this war and battle.

Those who advocate war are fortunate, and those who advocate peace are also fortunate, because His Majesty is very fair. He punished the officials of Ning Yan's faction and punished some officials of Zhuhe. It is because of officials' negligence or disrespect.

Although it seems a bit spineless, everyone has entered the level of Beijing official and court official, and no one wants to make fun of their official career, so no matter what they say, they express their favor for Ning Yunzhao.

Of course, more people thought it was Ning Yan's idea. He took the lead and dedicated himself, knowing that he couldn't do it.

Although he lost power in the court, Ning Yan's reputation among scholars has greatly increased.

Hearing Chen Qi's words, Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"How can everyone like it." He said, "Isn't everything going well in that way? Even saints and gods can't do it."

For example, after all, someone doesn't like him, and it happens to be someone he likes.

In this way, even if millions of people in the world are happy for him, it is hard to make up for the lack of a corner in the heart.

"Mr. Ning." Chen Qi suddenly had plastic surgery, then leaned over and lowered his voice, "I think you are the best, and I am definitely on your side."

Ning Yunzhao laughed.

"Because I just made you a big deal?" he said.

"Business belongs to business, favor belongs to favor." Chen Qi said hehe.

"People and things, people and things are always inseparable." Ning Yunzhao smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "I introduced this business because of Miss Jun, just to make her happy and make her happy. Don't want to deny that."

Chen Qi bowed his hands to him.

"Sure enough, a gentleman is magnanimous." He said after plastic surgery.

"Is she still in Qingyuan Mansion?" Ning Yunzhao asked.

Sure enough, the gentleman is open-minded, so he will receive the benefits to find out Miss Jun's whereabouts after he has helped.

Chen Qi bowed his hand again.

"Still in Qingyuan Mansion, chopping firewood, feeding horses, hunting and farming." He said.

"I don't know who those mountain people are." Ning Yunzhao said with a smile.

"It's the poor mountain people, Mr. Ning, don't you know that Miss Jun's doctors are benevolent..." Chen Qi said

Before finishing speaking, Ning Yunzhao smiled and shook his head.

"I really don't know her benevolence." He laughed, "It's still the same sentence, there are no people without reasons, and there are no things without reasons."

Chen Qi laughed twice, so it is really not easy to deal with these officials, these people have a lot of thoughts.

"It's just that the Northland is going to be chaotic, can she still be a mountain dweller with peace of mind?" Ning Yunzhao said.

Chen Qi looked a little uneasy.

"Shouldn't the fight be stopped after the peace is negotiated? Wouldn't it be peaceful?" he said.

There was a slight sneer at the corner of Ning Yunzhao's mouth.

"Peace is for those of us who are not in the Northland." He said, "But there is no peace for the abandoned people in the Northland."

Watching the young official leave with the servant Shi Shiran, Chen Qi stood still on the street for a moment until the tip of his nose was cold.

He raised his head and looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky at some point.

"Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year."

The children ran past with a smile on their hands holding the Rabbit Lantern.

Chen Qi hurriedly walked into Jiuling Hall.

Jiulingtang was quiet and warm like spring, exuding the fragrance of medicine. Fang Jinxiu sat behind the counter and fiddled with the counting chips.

"Splendid." Chen Qi didn't joking like before, but walked over quickly, "Why does Miss Jun spend so much money? What exactly is she going to do in Beidi?"

Fang Jinxiu didn't raise her head.

"She can use her money as she wants, it's none of our business," she said.

At the same time, at Fang's house in Yangcheng, Mrs. Fang threw a thick account book in front of Fang Chengyu with a serious face.

"Why is so much money going to Hebei Road?" she said, "It's ridiculous. Has she spent all the money in Hebei Road?"

Fang Chengyu held down the account book with a smile so that it would not slip and fall to the ground.

"Mom, money is for spending, how can you say it's absurd," he said.
