Chapter 4: Jifu

It took about half an hour to walk down from Huyang Mountain. Huyang Mountain is located in the south of Chen County. It was down and passed through several alleys, passed a few houses, and walked through an arch bridge. There was a big river under the bridge. The people of Chen County were called Chen He. It is said that together with the Qinhuai River, I saw some pedestrians on the road, but most of them were in a hurry and looked at him from time to time, pointing fingers!

Ning Caichen didn't care. The poor family members were in a poor family, and the fact that the original owner of the body was not very good. A poor scholar was a little noble, and he was inferior to everything. He had a high school philosophy. Now he had no background and was not popular. Some people who respected him in person might call him Mr. Ning in person, but most of them were poor scholars behind his back!

In addition, their parents passed away, and some people secretly said what they were killed by Ning Caichen. Although this is a bit far-fetched, ordinary people in this world are also superstitious and don’t know who said this first. Perhaps they were intentionally seriously injured, but some of them spread. Usually, those aunts and wives are still chewing behind their backs...

These are all memories in the original owner’s body!

He shook his head helplessly, and Fang Ming didn't say anything. He didn't have the intention to care about these trivial matters now. He quickly walked across the arch bridge, crossed a path, and walked towards the north of the city!

This direction is not where he lives. He went there this time to find his mentor Ji Yuan, the teacher of his former owner. This was what Ning Caichen thought on the way down the mountain. The place he lived by himself was at the foot of Huyang Mountain in the south of the city, not far from here. In this era, scholars made money to make money to make a living. Some wealthy families would hire scholars to help copy books. However, the original owner's family was rich in the past, so he didn't do these things, but now he has to do it!

However, copying books is not enough. Those rich people will also look at people who want to copy books. First of all, if you are a literati, secondly, your words should be good-looking, and then you need to look at relationships. Be familiar with them. No matter in any social era, human relationships exist. If you are familiar with each other and have little relationships, you will naturally have more benefits. If you don’t talk about other things, you may be a little higher in terms of wages. On the contrary, if the relationship is not very good and you don’t know, you will be a few points lower in the wages of copying books!

There is not much money to make money by copying books. Generally, it is good to copy two books a day. It is too little. If someone lowers his salary by one point, it will be fine. Therefore, when copying books, you have to find an acquaintance and a good relationship. So Fang Ming targeted his mentor Ji Yuan!

According to the memory of the original owner of the body, he studied under Ji Yuan, and Ning Caichen himself was very talented in studying and was very popular with Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan himself was not from Chen County, and it is said that he was just his hometown here. Ji Yuan once became an official in the court, but later he retired and came here when he retired. He became a teacher. It was not because Ji Yuan's family was not rich. In fact, Ji Yuan was a rich family in Chen County. Although he had only one person in his family, he still had a son who was an official in the royal city. The royal city was also called Yedu, which was the capital of the Liang Dynasty!

Ji’s mansion is a wealthy family in Chen County. Because Ji Yuan’s son was an official in the royal city, Ji Yuan was also very famous and prestigious. The magistrate of Chen County was polite to Ji Yuan. In addition to Mr. Ji Yuan, there was only a housekeeper, eight servants and four maids in Ji’s mansion. Ji’s mansion also had a job of copying books!

This is the resource in front of you, why not use it? After about ten minutes, a luxurious ancient mansion appeared in front of Ning Caichen - the red vermilion gate was full of momentum and nobleness, with a sense of rich style. The ancients regarded red as the most precious and happy, and this kind of vermilion gate was only used by rich families. A black golden nanmu plaque was hung on the vermilion gate, with the words "Ji Mansion" written on it!

On both sides of the front of the main entrance are two stone lions more than one person tall, and there are two servants guarding the door, dressed in black and wearing black hats!

"Young Master Ning, you are here!"

The two servants saw Ning Caichen walking towards him from afar. One of them stepped forward and asked, because he was a disciple of Ji Yuan and a proud disciple. Ning Caichen had been here many times. The servants here knew him, and they knew that Ji Yuan liked him very much, and even the servants here respected him very much!

"Mr. Ning is here to find the master?"

Another servant also came up and asked, Ning Caichen knew these two people, one named Futai and the other named Fu'an, both of whom were from Ji'an!

"Yeah!" Fang Ming nodded with a smile and said, "Please both of you guys. I'll come to see the teacher for something, I hope I can convey it!"

As he said that, Fang Ming arched the two with his hands again, thanking him, but this made them flattered. Although there were people here on weekdays, because they knew that they were servants of the Ji family and were polite to them, they would definitely not do what Ning Caichen did today, let alone Ning Caichen is still a proud disciple of his master. The two dared not be too arrogant and waved their hands repeatedly-

"Where is where, this is our duty. Young Master Ning is so angry!"

Fu'an and Fu'tai waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they should not be so polite. Ning Caichen also smiled, stood up straight, and looked at the two of them. He clearly felt that in his tone, Fu'an and Fu'tai were closer to him and respecting each other, especially these servants, who were inferior to others on weekdays. If they treat him respect, it would be easy to gain the other party's favor. Although Ning Caichen was polite to the two of them in the past, he would never be able to do this. Although it was just a small action, the results achieved were very different!

According to Ning Caichen's idea, he would come here often in the future. It would be beneficial to have good relationships with the servants here without any harm!

"Young Master Ning is here, I'll tell the master!" Fu'an bowed to Ning Caichen, and said to Ji An next to him: "You can entertain Mr. Ning here, and I'll inform the master!"

As he said that, he was about to enter the door!

"Please trouble Brother Fu'an!"

Ning Caichen said politely again, making Fu'an a little embarrassed. He said politely, and his body had already walked into Ji's mansion. Seeing Fu'an walking in, Ning Caichen turned his head and chatted with Futai again. At first, Ji was a little unacceptable and looked a little flattered. But after a few chats, he found that Ning Caichen spoke casually and interestingly, and he started chatting in a few seconds...

Fu'an's efficiency was very fast and he came out in a few minutes. When he saw the interesting scene between Ning Caichen and Ji An, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. In his memory, Ning Caichen was not like this!

"Mr. Ning, the master is waiting for you in the back garden pavilion and asks you to come over," Fu'an walked over and told Ning Caichen!

"Okay, I'll go over now, please trouble Brother Fu!"

Ning Caichen responded, greeted Ji An again, and turned around and walked into Ji's mansion!

Fu'an watched Ning Caichen walk into the depths of Ji's mansion before turning around and asked Futai curiously-

"What did Mr. Ning say to you just now? It was so exciting!"

"I didn't say anything. Mr. Ning just talked to me about interesting things!" Fu Tai said!

"Is that so? Tell me what interesting things!" Fu'an was even more curious!

"It's nothing. Mr. Ning just told me not to go to Shuixie Pavilion in the future. He said that the women there had a disease called AIDS, which would be contagious and could not be cured. Maybe they would die. People who went there would be short-lived and told us not to go!" Futai whispered!

"Shuixie Pavilion, isn't that a ji courtyard?" Fu'an was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder Mr. Li, next door, died at the age of 40. I heard that he often went to Shuixie Pavilion, but maybe he got involved in that AIDS. It seems that it is true. Mr. Ning didn't lie to us!"

"Of course, Mr. Ning is the master's proud disciple. How could he lie to us? It must be true. It seems that he can't go in the future!" Fu Tai said. He believed Ning Caichen's words. As for what AIDS is, although he didn't understand what it was, he felt unaware of it when he heard it!

"Hey, have you noticed that Mr. Ning seems to be better at our two sects today than before!" After a pause, Fu'an said again!

"Bad, what does Mr. Ning treat us well today? Mr. Ning treat us badly? Mr. Ning is a good person, and he treats everyone well. Whether it is us servants or others, the master is also a good person. Mr. Ning is the master's proud disciple, and of course he is a good person!" Futai said interjected!

"It seems to be!" Fu'an thought for a while, spoke, and then sighed: "What a pity, good people are not rewarded. Young Master Ning is young, but his family is in decline!"

"Hey, by the way, how did you think Mr. Ning know that there is AIDS in Shuixie Pavilion? Have you been there too?"
