Chapter 320 Ning Caichen

(Second update today, ask for a monthly pass and subscription!)

Hearing that Guo Lingfeng came to "meet friends through literature", the old shopkeeper's face was a little worried, and his tone became much colder: "Guest officer, Xiao Ning has no errands these days, so he didn't come to the store. If you want to find him, go to him." Home is ready!"

Guo Lingfeng is used to the warmth and coldness of people. For a "customer official" like him who doesn't buy anything, the attitude of the old shopkeeper is already good. Some shop owners will even drive people out of the house directly.

After finding out the exact location of Ning Caichen's house, Guo Lingfeng left Jibaozhai and walked towards Nancheng.Jinhua Mansion is quite wealthy, but the Nancheng side is purely a poor area.

Come to think of it, Ning Caichen is just a poor scholar, and it's normal to live in a slum.

Guo Lingfeng searched all the way to find Ning Caichen's house, and saw that the small courtyard was as dilapidated as expected, so he smiled slightly and went forward to knock on the door.

A fruit vendor next to him asked, "Master, are you looking for Ning Xiucai?"

Guo Lingfeng nodded and said, "Exactly, I'm here to find him!"

The peddler smiled and said, "He's not at home. He's mostly writing letters at the Guanyin Temple in the north of the city, right? You can go there and look for him, maybe he's there!"

Guo Lingfeng thanked him, bought a few pears, and took care of the peddler's business.

There are a lot of ancient gold, silver and copper coins in his system storage space, but his Song Dynasty copper coins are not in circulation in this era, so he had to pay with broken silver.A few pears only cost more than ten yuan, and the broken silver he gave to the peddler weighed at least three cents, enough to buy hundreds of pears.

Hearing Guo Lingfeng wave his hand and say that there is no need for change, the peddler couldn't help but thank him a lot, and even took him to the Guanyin Temple in the north of the city to find Ning Caichen.

Once the Guanyin Temple is more popular, his fruit will definitely sell a lot better.Secondly, this peddler is really simple, and after taking advantage of Guo Lingfeng, he wanted to repay him.

When I came to the Guanyin Temple in the north of the city, I saw a small stall on a street corner with a banner with banners and four characters written "writing letters on behalf of me".At the booth, Ning Caichen was wearing a white Confucian robe and was concentrating on writing a letter.

Standing not far away, Guo Lingfeng looked at Ning Caichen carefully, and saw that he had delicate features, red lips and white teeth, exactly the same as that young Leslie Cheung, and he was indeed a very handsome man.

Guo Lingfeng is now wearing an exclusive battle suit, but it has a 50% charm value bonus. Even so, he still feels that the other party seems to be more handsome than himself.

This is the period when Leslie Cheung's appearance is at its peak. What the ancients called "a handsome young man" is probably what they are talking about, right?

Guo Lingfeng approached slowly, and saw that his letter paper was full of small script, and his handwriting was quite elegant. As expected of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, his calligraphy level was not low.

"It's finished, a total of 100 letters!" Ning Caichen wrote the letter and said to an old woman next to him.

The old woman looked distressed and said: "Mr. Ning, I didn't bring so much money when I went out today, can I owe you two days first, and then bring it to you next time?"

Ning Caichen pondered for a while, and said: "Old man, writing letters on behalf of me also consumes pen, ink and paper. Give as much as you have with you!"

The old woman took out a cloth bag from her bosom and handed it to him after counting for a long time. It was only 57 Wen.

Ning Caichen took the money, saw the old woman took the letter and got up to leave, then saw Guo Lingfeng standing in front of the booth.

"Young master, are you looking for Ning to write a letter for you?" Ning Caichen looked at Guo Lingfeng, and was a little surprised by his short hair. However, he is a stall for business, so he won't comment on the appearance of customers. .

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "Excuse me, is your Excellency Mr. Ning Caichen?"

Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, and asked, "That's right, this is Ning Caichen, I don't seem to know you, right?"

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said: "I came here abruptly. Let me introduce myself. My name is Guo Lingfeng. I heard that Mr. Ning is famous for his poetry and prose in Jinhua Mansion, and he is also good at calligraphy, so I came here to pay a visit!"

Ning Caichen is just a mere scholar, although he is a famous scholar, much better than those Tongsheng, but how can he be called "famous for his poetry and prose in Jinhua Mansion"?The words can only be said to be well written.

Ning Caichen blushed, and said, "Brother Guo is absurd, how can Ning be famous?"

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

Ning Caichen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

He packed up the stall and entrusted the monks of the Guanyin Temple to take care of it, and followed Guo Lingfeng to the "Zuixiang Building" near the Guanyin Temple.

Guo Lingfeng just found a restaurant at random, he didn't know that this "Zixianglou" was the most famous restaurant in Jinhua Prefecture.The wine and dishes here are famous far and wide, and the "Taibai Zui" brewed by the restaurant is a famous wine that is well-known throughout Jinhua Prefecture.

"Brother Guo, it's... so expensive here!" Ning Caichen hesitated when he walked to the door of the restaurant. He only earned a few dozen pennies for writing a letter for someone else. Two or three hundred texts, right?

Guo Lingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Ning, don't worry, it's just a table of wine and food, Guo can still afford it!"

Ning Caichen followed him into the restaurant.

The two came down to the private room on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter in the shop. Guo Lingfeng didn't know what signature dishes were served here, so he said to the waiter in the shop, "Just serve us a few of your shop's signature dishes and two jugs of good wine!"

The waiter in the shop said with a smile on his face: "Two guests, our 'Zixianglou' is an old store with hundreds of years, and the best wine is called 'Taibaizui'. Too drunk to afford it!"

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said: "Okay, I want this 'Taibaizui', two pots!"

"Okay!" The waiter smiled and went to tell the kitchen.

Ning Caichen seemed a little reserved, sitting by the window, looking out of the window from time to time.

Not long after, the waiter in the shop brought wine and dishes, four meat and three vegetables and one soup.Guo Lingfeng picked up a chopstick and tasted it casually, then smiled and said: "It tastes really good, Mr. Ning, please use your chopsticks!"

Ning Caichen also ate some, then filled Guo Lingfeng's wine glass, poured a glass of wine himself, raised his glass and said, "I met Brother Guo today by accident, and Brother Guo treated him so kindly. Ning was really terrified, so I had to borrow flowers to present Buddha." Here's a glass of wine, Brother Guo!"

Guo Lingfeng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, drank it, and said, "Don't Mr. Ning wonder why Mr. Guo came to you?"

Ning Caichen said with a smile: "Brother Guo is very generous, if you want to tell me, you will naturally tell me, why does Ning need to do so?"

Guo Lingfeng smiled and said: "That's right! Mr. Ning, to tell you the truth, I intend to open a shop in Jinhua Mansion that specializes in buying stationery, and I want you to condescend to be the shopkeeper with a monthly salary of 20 taels of silver. I wonder if you would like it." ?”

Ning Caichen was stunned.

He is indeed a scholar, but he is not a leader in the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination. He can only earn a little money by writing letters for others, and occasionally running errands for Jibaozhai to collect bills, so he can barely support himself. Myself and my old mother are living in a difficult situation.

Although he still had the dream of continuing to take the exam, but now suddenly a big pie fell from the sky, and it was a good job with a monthly salary of [-] guan, and he was instantly knocked out.

"Brother Guo...can you tell me why you want me to be the shopkeeper?"

Thanks to "Tingting", "|Three Songs Circulation|" and "Ten, Xi TEL" for their encouragement!
