There was another knock on the door. Jiang Xingyu sat up straight, lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and shouted: "Come in."
Winter plums, golden cores, jujube flowers, and mulberry leaves came in with breakfast.
Jin Xin put breakfast on the table and said, "Miss, Miss Ning, it's time to have breakfast."
Jiang Xingyu said: "Okay, just put it on the table. You can go and eat too. You don't need to wait here."
Jin Xin saw Jiang Xingyu's eyes were red and wanted to ask, but hesitated. In the end, he didn't ask anything and led everyone out.
Ning Wei looked at Jiang Xingyu and said, "Shall we have breakfast first?"
Jiang Xingyu nodded in agreement, "Okay!" The two stood up and sat down at the table near the window.
Ning Wei served Jiang Xingyu half a bowl of rice porridge and gave her a crab roe bun.
Jiang Xingyu said: "Thank you very much, Ah Wei, you can eat too!"
Ning Wei smiled and said, "I can spare it." After saying that, Ning Wei served herself some porridge.
Ning Wei said while serving the porridge: "By the way, there is something I need to tell you."
Jiang Xingyu looked up at Ning Wei and asked, "What's the matter?" Then he lowered his head to drink porridge.
Ning Wei said: "These days, the price of rice on the market has increased by nearly 30%."
Jiang Xingyu was stunned, stopped what he was doing, looked up at Ning Wei, and asked in surprise: "It has increased by nearly 30%? How come it has increased so much in just a few days? What happened?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, this season is supposed to be the day of the autumn harvest. Every year during the autumn harvest, grain merchants go out to collect grain. This year there is a severe drought in the north and the grain harvest in many places has failed, so grain prices have risen sharply."
Jiang Xingyu looked at Ning Wei with a happy face, "So, we made a profit?"
Ning Wei gave Jiang Xingyu another crystal dumpling and said, "What did Xingyu say? Even if it doesn't rise, we will still make money, just less."
Jiang Xingyu smiled and said: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that we made a lot of money?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, it's a big profit! I've received six more shipments of food in the past few days at Bao'en Temple."
"How much?" Jiang Xingyu looked at Ning Wei in shock.
Ning Wei ate half a spoon of porridge, looked up at Jiang Xingyu and said: "Six ships! Six ships are bigger than before. The previous six ships, two ships were three hundred stones, four ships were two hundred stones. This time six ships
The boats are all four hundred stones each."
Jiang Xingyu looked at Ning Wei with bright eyes, "Ah Wei, food prices have risen so much, are we going to make a fortune?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, I estimate that the price of food will continue to rise, and I plan to ask Uncle Shi to buy more food. This time, we will definitely make a lot of money."
Jiang Xingyu asked: "Is the money for the purchase enough? Do you want me to collect more money?"
Ning Wei was surprised and said: "Little rich woman, do you still have money?"
Jiang Xingyu smiled and said: "You call me little rich woman, how can I have no money?"
Ning Wei asked: "Where did you get the money? Didn't you take out all your money? The prince's money?"
Jiang Xingyu nodded and said: "Yes, the prince knew that I asked my fourth brother to collect money and said that the girl's family must have money, so he gave me 200,000 silver notes as pocket money.
The prince also said that if he runs out of money, he can ask for it again.
As you know, I have everything I need for food and clothing, and there is no room for spending money.
That money, just leave it here for me to keep, use it to purchase goods and do business, and you can also make money from money."
Ning Wei was speechless and sighed secretly in her heart. It turns out that we are the same person but have different fates.
Some people may not be rich even if they work hard all their lives, while some people are born into wealth.
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Jiang Xingyu smiled nonchalantly, "It's just a loss. It's pocket money anyway, so I just bought a few accessories I didn't like on impulse."
Ning Wei said: "I originally wanted to send out a batch of grain to return the money, and then bring back a batch of grain."
Jiang Xingyu put down the chopsticks in his hand, waved his hand and said: "With the current market situation, food prices will definitely rise again, and it is not cost-effective to take action at this time.
Take my 200,000 silver and let me lend it to Wansheng Rice Store. After selling the grain, you can return the money to me."
Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "The interest rate for bank loans is 10%, let's follow the interest rate for bank loans.
I will draw up a contract later and borrow one hundred thousand taels of silver from you at an annual interest rate of 10%. After one year, in addition to the principal, I will give you an interest of 10,000 taels."
Jiang Xingyu wanted to say that she didn't want to make money. After getting along for a while, she knew that Ning Wei was doing one thing first and two things two.
No matter how good their relationship is, Ning Wei always figures things out very clearly when it comes to money matters.
Jiang Xingyu said: "Wansheng Rice Store is also my rice store, and the 10% interest rate is too high.
For those of us who are familiar with each other, just give us 5%.
Ah Wei, do as I say, this money is of no use to me, but if you use it to purchase goods, it can be put to good use."
This time, Ning Wei did not refuse again and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then five percent. Thank you, Xingyu!"
Jiang Xingyu said with a smile: "Why do you say thank you? Wansheng Rice Store is also my rice store. It is my duty to help the rice store solve problems."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good after it gets cold."
Jiang Xingyu picked up the chopsticks again and talked about the rice store while eating.
Until there was a noise outside the window, the two of them turned to look over and saw people running towards the Gongyuan.
Jiang Xingyu stood up, looked into the distance, and murmured: "Ah Wei, the results are released."
Ning Wei saw many people gathered under the wall outside the Gongyuan, and they all looked up at the list on the wall.
"Yes, the results are released."
"Miss, the results are released." At the door, Hanmei and Zaohua pushed the door open and came in.
Ning Wei turned to look at the two of them, "Yeah, I saw it. We've finished eating, take the dishes away."
Zaohua bent her knees and, together with Hanmei, quickly cleared the table.
"Jin Xin and Mr. went to see the list." Han Mei reported to Jiang Xingyu before carrying the dishes and going out.
Jiang Xingyu looked at the crowd in the distance, nodded and said, "I saw them."
Ning Wei looked over and saw Hu Rui and Jin Xin walking back with happy faces.
Jiang Xingyu turned around and said, "Ah Wei, look at the looks of Jin Xin and Hu Rui, my brother and brother Ning must have been hit. Let's go outside."
Jiang Xingyu pulled Ning Wei out.
The two came to the outside room and saw Jiang Xingchang, Ning Yu, Yang Haozhuo, and Lu Pengfei standing by the window looking towards Gongyuan.
Yang Haozhuo said: "Ding Lu and Yun Xing ran back with smiles. Sixing, Yingzhe, you two must have been hit."
Jiang Xingchang said: "Liu Jin also ran back, Le Ming, you must have been hit too."
Lu Pengfei stared at the crowd looking for Chen Xing's figure, and said with a grimace: "All your people are back, but Chen Xing's shadow is not seen. I'm afraid my reputation has fallen into disgrace."
Before everyone could comfort Lu Pengfei, the door was pushed open, and Ding Lu rushed in panting, and said excitedly: "Master, I'm in high school... No. 1."
Yun Xing rushed in immediately, "Master, I'm in high school, second place."
The room exploded, Zaohua, Hanmei and others jumped up in shock.
Yang Haozhuo and Lu Pengfei congratulated Jiang Xingchang and Ning Yu.
After a while, Liu Jin came in and said: "Master, I won, eighth place."
There was another exclamation in the room, and everyone congratulated Yang Haozhuo again.
Lu Pengfei was in a very complicated mood and congratulated the three of them with a grimace, "You three did so well in the exam, but I failed!"
Ning Yu advised: "Hongguang, don't worry, Chenxing hasn't come back yet."
Ning Wei looked downstairs and saw Chenxing holding up her shoes while walking, walking and running back, "Chenxing is back."
Jiang Xingchang and Yang Haozhuo were still at the window and quickly turned to look over. "Chenxing is back."
Jiang Xingyu squeezed to Ning Wei's side and shouted to Chenxing who was entering the Lelezhai courtyard: "Chenxing, hurry up."
Chenxing raised his head and looked at the window, waved to everyone and said, "Master, I got it, I got it."
When Lu Pengfei heard that he was hit, his heart returned to its true state.
Jiang Xingchang patted Lu Pengfei on the shoulder, "Look, you are scaring yourself."
Ning Yu cupped his hands towards Lu Pengfei, "Hongguang, congratulations!"
Chenxing entered the room and said happily: "Master, we won, the fourteenth place."
Lu Pengfei thought that even if he won, he would still be ranked low, so Chenxing didn't come back for a long time.
Just as he was about to ask Chenxing why it took him so long to come back, Jiang Xingyu asked first, "Then why did you go for so long? Brother Lu almost thought he failed."
Chenxing lowered his head in embarrassment, scratched his head and said: "There were too many people, and the little one's shoes were stepped on. The little one was looking for shoes, so we were delayed."
Everyone laughed.
After a burst of laughter, Ning Wei looked at Yun Xing and asked, "Chang Le has returned home to announce the good news."
Yun Xing bowed and responded: "Miss Hui, yes, Chang Le has gone back to report the good news to the old lady."
Jiang Xingyu looked at Jiang Xingchang, "Fourth brother, have you arranged for someone to go home to announce the good news?"
Jiang Xingchang shook his head, "I forgot about this. Ding Lu, hurry up and arrange for someone to go to Jiang Mansion to announce the good news. I'll go there myself in Qi Mansion."
Ding Lu bowed and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."
Because Mrs. Yu was seriously ill, Jiang Xingchang and Jiang Xingyu could not stay for long, so they agreed to meet again another day.
Ning Yu said: "After receiving the letter, every government must be looking forward to our return. Let's go here today, and we will meet again another day."
Everyone nodded.
A group of people came out of Youranju. At the door, Shopkeeper Liu and the waiters lined up in a row and held their hands in joyful congratulations.
In a short time, everyone in Lezhai knew about it, and the host understood Yuan.
Jiang Xingyu said with a smile: "As a reward, the salary of Lelezhai will be doubled this month. For three consecutive days, anyone who comes to Lelezhai for consumption will receive a 50% discount."
There was a lot of joy in the corridor.
"You're blocking the corridor and preventing people from walking?" A roar sounded from behind.
The corridor suddenly became quiet, and people gave way one after another.
It's really not good to talk while being blocked in the corridor. Shopkeeper Liu handed over his hand and apologized apologetically: "You two gentlemen, I'm sorry, our host high school, we were too excited. We hindered your passage."
The visitors are Liu Jinhe, the Fourth Master of Liu Xiang's Mansion, and Mo Ziqian, the eldest son of Mo Shaoyan, the young minister of Jingzhao Mansion.
After Mo Shaoqing got involved in the Lu family's lawsuit in Xiuxiang and got into contact with Prime Minister Liu's mansion, his contacts with Prime Minister Liu's mansion became closer.
Liu and Mo booked the elegant room Xinranju at Lehuizhai in advance and came here early today just to see the results.
As the saying goes, some are happy and some are sad, some are happy and some are sad.
Everyone in Youranju was in high school, and there was cheering inside and outside the house.
Xinran Ju was not happy at all, and Liu Mo and Liu Mo both failed.
The frustrated two people came out of the house and met a group of happy people, which made them even more unhappy.
Mo Ziqian said angrily to Shopkeeper Liu: "Isn't it amazing that you are in high school? If you are in high school, you have no reason to block the corridors and prevent people from walking!"
Jiang Xingyu felt that this man was too unreasonable.
"You..." Jiang Xingyu was about to step forward to ask Mo Ziqian for an argument, but Jiang Xingchang held him back.
Jiang Xingchang pulled Jiang Xingyu behind him and said, "You two, I'm sorry! Please!"
Liu Jinhe glanced at Jiang Xingchang, snorted coldly, and walked forward through the passage with his head held high.
Lu Pengfei was upset and blurted out: "Huh, what? I won the prize based on my strength, so of course it's amazing. If you have the ability, you can show me what you're doing!"
Jiang Xingyu stood behind Jiang Xingchang, showing half of his face and echoed: "That's right, if you have the ability, let people see it.
Some people, who are not very capable, have a bad temper, and have no abilities, are still showing off their power here, which is really despising."
Liu Jinhe and Mo Ziqian were both hard-educated people who rarely walked around, so they didn't know Jiang Xingchang and others.
Mo Ziqian's servant stood up and scolded him: "Who is it? How dare you disrespect the Fourth Master of Prime Minister Liu's Mansion."
Liu Xiang is the Prime Minister of Daliang, and Liu Xiang's Mansion is the natal family of the imperial concubine. It is a first-class mansion in the capital.
It is reasonable for Mo Ziqian's servant to move out of Prime Minister Liu's mansion to intimidate others.
It's a pity that Lu Pengfei hates the people in the Prime Minister Liu's Mansion the most. When he heard the Fourth Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he shouted, took two steps forward and looked at Liu Jinhe and Mo Ziqian.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who am I talking about? It turns out to be the fourth master of Xiang Liu's mansion. I'm sorry, I don't recognize who is the fourth master Liu among you."
Lu Pengfei clicked his tongue repeatedly and looked at the two of them with a strange look.
Liu Jinhe felt uncomfortable being looked at by Lu Pengfei. He looked at Lu Pengfei warily and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Lu Pengfei cast his gaze on Liu Jinhe and raised his eyebrows, "I'm sorry, this is Fourth Master Liu.
I am the second master of the Lu Mansion, Lu Pengfei, and I don’t want to do anything. I am lucky enough to meet the fourth master Liu of the Prime Minister Liu’s Mansion here today, so I should naturally say hello respectfully."
Lu Pengfei said respectful words, but his attitude was not respectful at all.
When Liu Jinhe was still thinking about which Lu family, Lu Pengfei continued: "You two are here to look at the rankings, right? I wonder who Mr. Liu is in high school?"
Liu Jinhe was so embarrassed by the question that he felt red-faced and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl under.
Lu Pengfeiyun smiled lightly and continued: "I am not talented, but I am lucky enough to win the fourteenth prize.
By the way, I would like to make an introduction. This is Mr. Yang, the Fourth Master from the Master Yang's House, who is eighth in the high school. This is the Second Master, Ning, a recent disciple of Mr. Yang, who is the second in the High School Ranking List.
The one next to Mr. Ning is even more remarkable. The fourth master of Jiang Shangshu's house is number one on the list this time, our Jieyuan."
When Lu Pengfei said this, Liu Jinhe knew which Lu family the Lu family was. Except for Mr. Ning, whom he had never heard of, the rest of the group of people were beyond his reach.
