The female supporting role has arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 45 The Vicious Wife ([-])
Ji Ning went to a delicious pastry shop, bought some of every kind of pastry, paid for it to be delivered to Ji's house, and then continued to browse.

During the meal just now, Father Ji said that she had been in the capital for a while, and asked her to help find a good husband for Ji Huai.

Originally, Ji's father planned to let Ji Huai inherit his mantle and support the Ji family, thinking that as long as he knew how to manage the business, it would be fine.

But Wan Cen's matter made Ji's father feel that it is better to rely on himself than to rely on anyone. There is no requirement for Jihuai High School, but it has changed from the most primitive study and etiquette to some fame.

So I hope that Ji Huai can be a scholar, with some fame, and good connections whether in business or human relationship.

Ji Ning readily agreed, and spent some money to inquire about the study. After all, many students want to buy books or the Four Treasures of the Study in the study. Presumably the shopkeeper of the study should know some gentlemen.

Ji's father has been in business for many years and is the richest man in Sanshui County. He still has a lot of wealth, but Ji Huai is not rushing to be the number one scholar.

Because the requirements are not high, and she bought two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study, she also bought a lot of books. She is considered a major customer of the study, and the boss spoke a lot of sincerity, and told the address of the two talented wives.

Ji Ning first went to a family that was a little closer, a native of the capital.

The man opened a small private school in his small courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he could hear the sound of reading aloud.

Perhaps it was because there were many students studying in this courtyard, so the courtyard was not closed, but opened wide.

Ji Ning approached with Yinqiao, glanced at the private school by a window, and saw about a dozen people inside, ranging in age from teens to 30s.

The gentleman was about fifty years old, with a gray beard. He read a sentence with a book, and the dozen or so people below repeated it with shaking their heads.

Ji Ning listened to it for a while, but he didn't see the gentleman's explanation, and instead read the second poem.

Yinqiao didn't know what Ji Ning was doing, she didn't know much about words, and she couldn't understand those two poems.

Just thinking that Ji Ning would say a few words to that gentleman, he didn't expect Ji Ning to turn around and leave with her.

"Hey, ma'am, don't you still want to find a husband for the young master? Why are we leaving after we've only been here for a while?"

Ji Ning slowed down when he was far away: "I've already seen it, it's not suitable for Xiao Huai."

"Not suitable?" Yin Qiao was stunned, completely unaware of how Ji Ning made the judgment.

However, she was used to obeying her master's orders in everything, so she didn't care about it anymore. Anyway, there are other gentlemen who can't do this, and there is no shortage of such a gentleman.

The second gentleman is a little farther away, three streets away, and the houses around him become more shabby as we go.

Although the surrounding area is not considered remote, the grand mansions and mansions are no longer seen. Instead, there are single-family houses or large courtyards where many people live. It should be regarded as the place where most people in the capital live.

There are many rich and powerful people in the capital, so the houses they live in are naturally divided into areas, just like modern villa areas and economic areas.

With Ji Ning's outfit, coupled with the jade bracelet on his wrist and the hairpin in his hair, it can be seen that he is either rich or expensive, so he attracted many people's attention along the way.

"Ma'am." Lian Qiao was a little afraid of the scrutiny of those passing by, so she couldn't help following her closely.

"It's nothing, they're just curious, it's broad daylight, and there are people around, so don't be afraid."

The two of them were talking, and they arrived at the place that the boss of the study said.

It was a very small yard. When the two arrived, a woman in rough clothes with cloth strips wrapped around her head was opening the gate and was washing clothes by the well. Girls play at the door.

Children are not afraid of strangers. When they saw Ji Ning and the other two, the little boy among them approached with a smile and asked, "Sister, are you here to find someone?"

"I'm here to find a gentleman named Yu An."

"Then you found the right one. My father's name is Yu An, mother. A sister came to find my father."

Saying that, the little boy took his sister into the yard.

The woman who starched and washed clothes naturally also heard what Ji Ning said. Looking at Ji Ning's clothes, she knew that she was either rich or expensive. She also heard that Ji Ning was looking for her husband. She hurriedly put down her work and wiped her hands on her side. , and asked Ji Ning to come in at a loss.

The woman quickly served her a glass of boiled water, with a cautious expression on her face: "The humble house is simple, only ordinary water."

Ji Ning smiled softly, took a sip without minding it, and then asked Yu An: "My family just moved to the capital, and my father wants to find a gentleman who can teach him the principles of reading for my younger brother. The shopkeeper said that Mr. Yu was born as a scholar with good knowledge, so he wanted to come and see him."

"To be honest, my husband-in-law is not at home now. He writes family letters for others every day at the intersection of South Alley to earn some money. If you don't mind, he is about to come back now. If Madam doesn't mind, you can wait here for a while." meeting."

Of course Ji Ning doesn't mind, she doesn't think it's bad to help others write family letters, as long as they are self-reliant, they are worthy of respect, no matter what, they are better than Wan Cen, a soft-bodied man, right?

After waiting for a while, before the tea had cooled completely, he heard the cheers from the little boy who was watching at the door, and then they talked about Ji Ning's matter.

Ji Ning thought it was Yu An who came back, but he didn't expect that there was a young man behind Yu An, who seemed to be in his early twenties, and the man in his thirties walking in the front with a child in one hand seemed to be Yu An up.

The ancients got married early, but Yu An's age is relatively old, but Ji Ning doesn't care, it's someone else's private matter.

Ji Ning stepped forward to explain his purpose, the man nodded to Ji Ning and told her to wait for a while, then took the wooden table and small stool from the man behind him: "Go inside and wait, I will talk to you later get together."

Maybe it was because Ji Ning was worried about the difference between men and women, so he opened the door. The man first asked Ji Huai's age, then said that he was only a scholar, and asked some other questions.

During this process, Ji Ning casually took a few classic interview questions from modern times and changed them into popular language to ask him, which was considered as a preliminary test.

Fortunately, Ji Ning was quite satisfied with the other party's answer, he knew how to be flexible, he wasn't too rigid, and what he wanted was very reasonable.

Ji Ning originally wanted to give him a pair of the Four Treasures of the Study, but he only said that she would bring Ji Huai to show him someday, and accept it when she was sure.

The next day, Ji Huai met the other party, and after handing over Shu Xiu, it was officially settled, and Father Ji also brought him into the house.
