Bao Xin took the famous painting "Flowers, Birds, Insects and Fish" to Ningfu, hoping to return it.

However, Ning Ze learned and used it, and Liang Wu told Bao Xin that he had gone to visit friends and would not return today.

Bao Xin wanted to hand over the famous painting to Liang Wu, but Liang Wu said that this was a treasure sent by the young master and he did not dare to accept it. He was afraid that it would be damaged by the time he could not explain it. He asked Bao Xin to return it himself after the young master came back.

Even though he knew that Ning Ze did it on purpose, Bao Xin had no choice.

He wants to throw the painting here directly. What if Liang Wu said he had never seen this painting at that time, Ning Ze would pursue it?

So he had no choice but to return to Bao's Mansion.

After going there a few more times the next day, Liang Wu either said that Ningze was busy with official business or said that he was having dinner at a friend's house.

Helplessly, Bao Xin could only ask his father for help, hoping to return it to Ning Ze when the chamber of commerce members gathered.

However, Bao Yun did not see Ning Ze at the Chamber of Commerce.

So Bao Xin went to find Chu Xun, after all, this matter started with him.

Chu Xun deliberately avoided Ning Ze, how could he agree? But it seems that he would not be able to return this famous painting.

Think about it carefully, let Bao Xin give the painting to Liang Kai, who has a good relationship with Ning Ze. Wouldn't it be fine if a friend returns it back?

If you want to say that Chu Xun is indeed smart, Bao Xin asked Liang Kai for help as he said.

The next day, the painting was sent to Ningze Mansion.

As a friend who does not need to inform the communication, Liang Kai went directly to his house and threw the painting on the table. It's over!

When Ning Ze returned home and saw this painting, he asked clearly that it was Liang Kai's delivery, so he had to give up.

Of course, this does not mean giving up.

I haven't been idle these days, so I mobilized my eyes and ears in the city to find out where Meiren Chu usually goes. I heard that she often appears in Yi Baozhai, so I greeted Yi Baozhai's boss and arranged it quickly.

Yi Baozhai is a well-known shop in Huajun. It specializes in buying some rare items or precious treasures from other prefectures and counties to compete for sale. Previously, Ningze had several imperial items, and it was also purchased by the boss of Yi Baozhai from other prefectures and counties.

Meiren Chu often comes here. If she finds her favorite books or paintings, she will buy them back and collect them.

Ning Ze greeted Yi Baozhai in advance and put the copybooks of the famous calligrapher Yang Daoting that he had collected before as a product for sale. Then he released the news in advance, and many guests who were interested in it came.

Meiren Chu really appeared and was very interested in this copybook.

Before Yi Baozhai opened the market, many guests gathered around Yang Daoting's copybook, including Chu Meiren.

I found that the price of copybooks was surprisingly cheap, and everyone was ready to bid.

But before the market opened, the boss of Yi Baozhai put away Yang Daoting's copybook and apologized to everyone: "Sorry, everyone! The owner of this post decided to cancel the bidding temporarily. We will remove this post and replace it with other products."

A large number of customers who came to the scene for books were immediately quit. Everyone came to the page for copybooks, so they were naturally unhappy to be fooled.

"Everyone!" Boss Yi Baozhai finally comforted him and said loudly, "This thing is owned by the Minister of County Prince Ning. The Minister of County Prince decided to bid for this post here, but suddenly he regretted it. There is nothing I can do about it! If anyone is dissatisfied, he can ask Prince Ning to propose it in person."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.

Everyone in Huajun City knows Ningze. From the Pang Lishan bandit incident to the recent destruction of the troops of the six counties, this county magistrate is not simple. Moreover, the current owner of Huajun, Princess Yuanxi, appointed him as a military advisor, and he can intervene in all matters in the city. In addition, the prefect Liang Teng has a good relationship with him, and he is very important in the city. Not to mention the previous incident of resettlement of refugees, and the recent series of internal affairs for benefiting the people also made him highly praised by the people.

So they held their anger back to their stomachs and could only regret it for no reason.

Meiren Chu was also deeply regretful. She heard that this copybook was written by the county magistrate Ning Ze, and was a little surprised.

Since the copybook is gone, everyone is ready to disperse.

The boss Yi Baozhai entered the house for a while and soon came out and said, "Everyone! Prince Ning has spoken. Yang Daoting's copybook was cancelled, but who can guess the puzzle of Prince Jing, can buy the copybook at the original price."

Hearing this, everyone stopped and quickly gathered: "What if two people, or more people guessed it?"

"Only the first person who guessed correctly is qualified!" Boss Yi Baozhai said loudly, "I've heard it all. The county magistrate's puzzle is: one white and one black, fighting wits and courage! The puzzle is very simple, it depends on who thinks first..."

"One white and one black, fighting wits and courage?" The guests at the scene bowed their heads and pondered.

The moment when Meiren Chu heard the puzzle, she immediately spoke: "The answer is Go!"

It turns out that it is 97 points of intelligence, and it is not difficult for her at all.

When the guests next to him heard the answer, they suddenly realized it and were very regretful.

The answer to the riddle is indeed very short, but everyone's reaction is not as fast as hers. It's too late to think of it.

"Congratulations!" Boss Yi Baozhai immediately walked to Meiren Chu, "You have answered the county magistrate's puzzle correctly, inside the private room."

Beauty Chu hesitated for a moment and followed in.

When I arrived at the private room, I saw Ning Ze sitting by the window drinking tea.

Seeing her appear, she put down the teacup without surprise, stood up and bowed: "Miss Chu, why are you here?"

"Mr. Prince, you two will chat slowly!" Boss Yi Baozhai quickly withdrew.

"Mr. Ning!" The beauty Chu squatted gracefully and saluted, "What's the point of bringing a girl here on purpose?"

Expose it directly, you're welcome.

Ning Ze smiled slightly: "Please sit down!"

Meiren Chu thought about it, sat down hesitantly, about five meters away from him, and asked face to face: "The county magistrate deliberately used Yang Daoting's copybook to attract the people to this place, or is it for his father? I'm very sorry! My father has no intention of becoming an official..."

"That's right! I hope that Lingzun can join our lord." Ning Ze smiled, "But today I invite Miss Chu to come for another thing."

"Please give me advice." Although Mei Meiren Chu was a little shy when facing strangers, she still behaved very well.

"I wonder if Miss Chu has ever heard of Hua County's recruitment order?" Ning Ze asked.

Meiren Chu nodded slightly: "I heard that the order to recruit talents was from the commander of Prince Ning?"

"That's right! What do Miss Chu think about the recruitment order issued?"

"It's quite interesting." Chu Meiren answered politely.

“What else?”

“No idea other than that.”

"Is that true? If Miss Chu is invited to join our army and become the lord's aide, will Miss Chu be willing?" Ning Ze made a clear head.

"Ah?" Meiren Chu was obviously a little surprised, and then waved her hand quickly, "How can a woman become an official?"

"Why can't a woman be an official?" Ning Ze asked.

“This has been the case since ancient times.”

"Everything must keep pace with the times! If there were no sages in ancient times, we would still be savages. Why don't we say that there are no words available since ancient times?"

Beauty Chu was thinking.

"I think Miss Chu is a smart person and must have great talent! Why not imitate her predecessors and make progress together?"

"Men's girls are just people from the countryside, so where can they learn? They dare not compare themselves with their ancestors." Meiren Chu said in a low voice.

"Miss Chu is too humble! Isn't the daughter of Mr. Chu an ordinary person? What's more, the girl answered the puzzles she asked in an instant. Such urgent wisdom is rare in the world!" Ning Ze said with a smile.

"Mr. Princess, don't make fun of the folk girl!" Meiren Chu was a little shy, "I just happened to hit her by chance."

"Does Miss Chu like to guess riddles?"

"Guess the riddle?" Meiren Chu felt a little embarrassed, "but she was a little interested."

"Oh? Miss Chu answered the riddle in an instant just now, which made me admire her." Ning Ze said, "It's better to come up with a few more puzzles to see if Miss Chu can guess it! In this way, if the girl can guess all the puzzles, this Yang Daoting copybook will be given to the girl directly without taking a penny!"

"No! Yang Daoting's copybook is extremely precious, and the young woman is willing to pay for it." Chu Meiren hurriedly said, "Pussy riddles are entertainment, how can it be like this?"

"It's okay!" Ning Ze smiled, "It seems that there are countless treasures in the lower palace. All kinds of lonely books are available. These include the royal secret treasures that were looted by ants and wandered among the people, as well as precious classics that are unheard of by the world! Such as Xu Lianchai's "Storm and Rain Pictures of Jiangzhou", palace treasures and jade books, and Pei Yunchuan's Yunchuan's copybooks."

A great interest appeared in the eyes of Meiren Chu, but she tried her best to suppress: "Where did the county magistrate get these treasures? Each one is valuable."

"I am preparing for the Chamber of Commerce. Some of them were sent by wealthy businessmen from all over the world, and some were treasures that I paid for by myself." Ning Ze smiled, "As the county magistrate of Huajun, Princess Yuanxi, I am still able to get this amount of money. If Miss Chu is interested, please come to the mansion to appreciate it next time."

"This...is not very appropriate!" Meiren Chu shook her head slightly.

How can a girl visit a strange man’s house?

"Yes, it's really inappropriate to ask a girl to be a guest in the lower house!" Ning Ze said, "It's better to do this. I'm visiting the Bao family. The Bao family has a good relationship with me, and it's normal to visit on weekdays. There should be no problem meeting the girl in the middle of the way."

"Why is the county magistrate?" Although Meiren Chu was moved, she shook her head and said, "Even so, her father will still hide from the county magistrate, and it is impossible for him to serve as an official in Huajun."

"Even if Mr. Chu doesn't agree, I will try my best!" Ning Ze said, "By the way! Is Miss Chu interested in guessing the riddle that I just said? As long as the girl guesses all the riddles she has been given, this Yang Daoting copybook will be given directly."

"Not appropriate," Chu Meiren shook her head, "How can she play like this?"

"Could it be that Miss Chu has no confidence and thinks it would be embarrassing not to get rid of puzzles?" Ning Ze smiled, "It doesn't matter. I will try to come up with some simple puzzles."

Hearing this, Meiren Chu's eyes immediately became serious: "Mr. Princess, don't underestimate the common women! Although the common women are not very talented, they are very confident in guessing riddles."

"Since that's the case, is Miss Chu ready to challenge?" Ning Ze asked.

"Even though the county magistrate has a question, the harder the better!"
