Chapter 114 His Majesty Has a Reward

The next day, Ning Chen slept until three o'clock in the morning.

Then he changed his clothes and had a meal with Yudie waiting on him, and then left the Jiaofang Division.

He rode his beloved Diao Chan and clattered to the Ministry of War.

Ji Mingchen, Minister of the Ministry of War, had received His Majesty's order and had been waiting for Ning Chen for a long time.

Ji Mingchen was also talented in both civil and military affairs and was deeply trusted by His Majesty.

"Meet Mr. Ji!"

Ning Chen cupped his fists and raised his hands.

"Ning Yinyi, there is no need to be polite. Your Majesty has given me full authority to cooperate... Ning Yinyi, please come with me."

Ji Mingchen took Ning Chen to a room in the backyard.

In the center of the room, there was a long table with musket parts on it.

"Ning Yinyi, three skilled craftsmen will be here soon... Your Majesty means that the assembly will be divided into three steps."

Ning Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Divided into three parts, one person assembles the front half, one person assembles the second half... and the last person completely assembles the rest.

This was to prevent anyone from mastering the art of musketry.

"Ning Yinyi, if you're ready, I'll call someone in!"

Ning Chen nodded, "Let them come in."

Ji Mingchen retreated.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Ning Chen shouted towards the door.

The door opened and a dark-skinned man walked in.

Ning Chen didn't waste any time and taught him how to assemble it directly.

The latter has good comprehension skills and is a skilled craftsman himself. He quickly learned part of the assembly.

"Okay, you can go out...call the next person in."

It only took less than an hour for Ning Chen to finish teaching.

His mission completed, he planned to leave.

But Ji Mingchen wanted to keep Ning Chen for lunch.

Ji Mingchen is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.

He is also a very good poet.

He has long admired Ning Chen's reputation as a poet. He even sent people to Ning Mansion several times, but all failed.

Ning Chen had no choice but to agree.

During the dinner, Ji Mingchen toasted frequently.

He also took out the poems he had written and asked Ning Chen for guidance.

Ning Chen's poems were all procured for free, and he has no real ability. How can he be qualified to guide others?

He could only praise her for her good poems and words... plus a lot of extravagant remarks, and finally managed to get over it.

Ning Chen couldn't sit still during this meal.

Because Ji Mingchen secretly wanted to ask for poetry.

To put it bluntly, I just want to have sex for free.

Ning Chen hates people who engage in prostitution for free, except himself.

Although he memorized 300 Tang poems and learned many poems, after leaving school, most of them were returned to the teacher... not many poems could be completely memorized.

You get one for free, he gets one for free... I won’t have any poems to use in the future, so how can I still show off?

Ji Mingchen was more anxious than Ning Chen. This time he had caught Ning Chen. It would be even harder to miss this golden opportunity and ask for poems in the future.

But Ning Chen just pretended not to understand his overt and covert hints.

Could it be that he didn't hint clearly enough?

"Master Ji, I have to go and report to His Majesty. I can't stay here any longer. Take my leave!"

Ning Chen stood up and prepared to leave.

Ji Mingchen was anxious and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to fetch an exquisite wooden box.

Opening the box, inside is a piece of jade pendant with warm color and exquisite carving... It is worth a lot at first glance!

"Ning Yinyi, a small gift, I hope Ning Yinyi won't dislike it."

Ning Chen shook his head repeatedly, "Master Ji, this is impossible. This thing is too valuable, I can't have it."

Ji Mingchen said with a serious face: "Ji admires Mr. Ning's talent. If Ning Yinyi doesn't accept him, he will look down on Ji."

Damn it! ! !

Why do these words sound like some idiots I met at the wine table in my last life, who always liked to say... If you don't drink, you look down on me and don't give me face.

When meeting such a person, Ning Chen would tell him directly that your face is too worthless. It is only worth a glass of wine, why should you ask others for face... Finally, I will say, Silly Que, get out!

However, Ji Mingchen was giving a gift, so the situation was different.

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Master Ji, but I would be disrespectful!"

But just when Ning Chen was about to take the box, Ji Mingchen said with a smile:

"If Ning Yinyi is too embarrassed to accept it, you might as well leave a few words of calligraphy in exchange. Ji will be grateful."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched.

This Ji Mingchen is really good at it. He hid for a long time but still didn't escape.

"That's alright, Ning Chen will show off his shame!"

Ning Chen said as he calmly took the box.

Ji Mingchen's eyes were hot and he looked at Ning Chen expectantly.

Ning Chen thought for a while, accidentally saw his own sword, and said with a smile: "Master Ji is both civil and military, loyal to His Majesty, loyal and courageous... I will write a poem with this title and ask Master Ji for advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Chen drew his sword, startling Ji Mingchen.

Ning Chen made a horizontal stroke with his long sword and said loudly: "I am smiling towards the sky..."

Ji Mingchen's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait for the next sentence.

In Ji Mingchen's expectant eyes, Ning Chen continued to say loudly: "I will go to bed after I finish laughing."

Ji Mingchen's expression suddenly froze, and his whole person turned to stone.

I smile to the sky from my side, and then go to sleep after laughing?

The first sentence is quite impressive, but the second sentence is too watery. What the hell is this?

Even the housekeeper next to him looked disgusted, probably complaining in his heart that Ning Chen's name of the poet... was not worthy of the name, just a facade.

Ning Chen suddenly laughed, "Master Ji, I was just joking, don't mind it."

Actually, he was not joking, because the last sentence was "I will leave my heart and soul to Kunlun"... but there is no Kunlun Mountain in this world.

"Listen carefully, Master Ji... I will laugh at the sky with my sword, and I will leave my heart and soul to Yulong."

To the east of the capital, there is Yulong Mountain, where the royal family held the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.

Ning Chen temporarily changed Kunlun to Yulong.

Ji Mingchen repeated it several times, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Good poem, good poem... Ning Yinyi deserves the title of the poet, Ji admires it!"

"Ning Yinyi, what about the last two sentences?"

Ning Chen was a little embarrassed.

He only remembered these two sentences of this poem.

Freeloaders also need a good memory.

"Uh... Lord Ji, please forgive me. I have too many things to do recently, and I was too tired last night. I have run out of ideas. I can only write these two sentences for now. I will tell you the remaining two sentences when I think of them."

Ji Mingchen also knew that writing poems requires inspiration... He was already surprised that Ning Chen could write these two excellent works on the spur of the moment.

"Then Ji will wait for good news."

Ning Chen left the Ministry of War and rode his beloved Diao Chan back to the Supervisory Department.

Chen Chong saw Ning Chen coming back and walked over quickly, "Ning Chen, I will treat you tonight at the Music Bureau!"

Ning Chen looked at him suspiciously. This henpecked husband actually had the spare money to invite them to the Music Bureau?

"Why are you so generous all of a sudden? Did you pick up money?"

Chen Chong was surprised, "Don't you know? We took over the Yangdansi last night, and His Majesty gave us a reward... We, the silver-clad people, all got 500 taels of gold, 50 pieces of silk and satin... His Majesty loves you so much, your reward must be more."

Ning Chen shook his head, "I've been busy, I really don't know about this... Where is my reward?"

Chen Chong said, "Maybe it's with Geng Ziyi?"

"Okay, then I'll go find Geng Ziyi first."

Ning Chen excitedly went to Geng Jing to receive the reward... He took over the Yangdansi, and he made the greatest contribution. His Majesty must have rewarded him with a lot of good things.

His Majesty is really good to him, and he often rewards him, and he can't spend it all, and he can't spend it all.
