Chapter 112 Test?
When the eunuch reported to this place, Jiang Lige glanced at the blue and white porcelain vase in the brocade box and stopped his singing action at the right time.
"You don't have to sing anymore, just enter it in the record book."
"Yes."
With all the gifts in front of him, Ning Luyang's blue and white porcelain vase was really not very presentable. Moreover, he had not yet left the palace to set up his own residence, and the eunuchs could not even report his residence. If he sang it out loud, it would be a complete loss of face.
Jiang Lige's move undoubtedly rescued Ning Yunxiao.
After giving instructions to the eunuch, Jiang Lige smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Ning Luyang.
"Eighth Master, I am honored that you have given me such a favor. It's very hot outside, so please come in with me for a cup of tea to cool down."
"Princess Zhaohua."
Ning Luyang's face was still full of embarrassment as he followed Jiang Lige inside. On the way to the private room, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and called out to Jiang Lige in a low voice.
Jiang Lige turned around confused, "What happened to Master Ba?"
Ning Luyang hesitated for a moment, his face full of embarrassment, and after a while he mustered up the courage to speak.
"That blue and white porcelain vase may not be as valuable as other people's gifts, but it is the most valuable item in my collection. I hope the princess will not despise it."
Jiang Lige seemed a little surprised when he heard this, but then smiled, "Eighth Master, you're worrying too much. The gift is small, but the sentiment is great. How could I despise it? I have already received Eighth Master's kindness. I will definitely drink a few more glasses with Eighth Master later to express my gratitude."
Perhaps touched by the sincerity in Jiang Lige's words, Ning Luyang's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and he whispered softly, "That's good."
Jiang Lige obviously didn't hear the whispered words. He turned around and opened the door of the private room. "Eighth Master, please come in."
Ning Luyang nodded and entered the room. The private room was elegantly decorated, with low-hanging red curtains, mahogany tables and chairs, exquisite tea sets, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall also looked quite tasteful.
After admiring the display, Ning Luyang saw Jiang Lige personally pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of him.
"Eighth Master likes tea, why not try my new orchid-scented Longjing tea."
"Thank you, Princess Zhaohua." Ning Luyang took a sip of the tea, and the fragrance filled the air. It was indeed a good tea. "Good tea."
"As long as Master Ba likes it."
"What a coincidence! I bought a house in the west of the city a few days ago, and there's a Tuogu Hall next to it. The other day, I heard from Madam Peng from the Tuogu Hall that the princess had provided financial support for the children."
Jiang Lige naturally heard the probing tone in Ning Luyang's words, but he admitted it without disguising anything: "It is true. To be honest, I have received favors from the people of Tuogu Hall. This is just a way of repaying the favor. It's not worth mentioning."
"Princess justice."
"It's not really righteousness." Seeing Ning Luyang's expression unchanged, Jiang Lige knew that Ning Luyang still had concerns. "We're new here in Chang'an, so we should do some good deeds. This will give us a reason to join the Chamber of Commerce in the future, right?"
"That's it."
Seeing Ning Luyang's face full of sudden enlightenment, Jiang Lige's smile couldn't help but be tinged with sarcasm. As expected, people like Ning Luyang never believed that human nature is inherently good.
If I were to tell him that I was repaying a favor, he would naturally be a little skeptical.
But if I add some pros and cons into it, I can dispel 70% to 80% of his doubts.
For a person like this, one must have been blind in his previous life to think that he is sincere.
It's sad.
After asking about the business, Ning Luyang started chatting with Jiang Lige about tea. Jiang Lige had just chatted for a few words when she heard someone knocking on the door and calling "Princess".
Seeing this, Jiang Lige nodded slightly at Ning Luyang apologetically.
"I think you must have something to ask me. Master, please enjoy your tea first. I will send some wine and food over later. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
"Princess, just be busy. Don't worry about me."
Jiang Lige nodded apologetically and stood up to leave. Ning Luyang sat there, quietly watching her back as she walked away, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ning Luyang's feelings towards Jiang Lige are complicated. There is envy, reluctance, admiration, and a desire to conquer.
But no matter what he was thinking, Ning Luyang had to admit that he couldn't take his eyes off Jiang Lige.
She has a strong background, is deeply loved, has an open-minded intelligence, is proud, has just the right amount of kindness, and has great luck.
She stood opposite Ning Luyang like a mirror, reflecting his muddy and miserable state.
There was a voice inside him that kept shouting, urging him to test the waters and cross the line. It felt like...
If he got her, he would not seem so ridiculous, and he could live a different life, just like the life he once envied so much.
"A-Li." In the quiet private room, Ning Luyang murmured in a low voice, with an almost crazy look on his face, "You must be mine."
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Jiang Lige and Song Yue, who came to report the news, walked for a while and stopped to talk after they had put some distance between them.
"But Xiao Xingrong is here?" Jiang Lige asked.
Song Yue nodded and handed a wooden box to Jiang Lige. "After Master Xiao delivered it just now, he left in a hurry again."
At the opening ceremony of Chang'anfang, Xiao Xingrong only sent someone to bring gifts but did not attend.
It was something I had asked him to do earlier, but now he only delivered the things but didn't show up. It can be seen that this guy must be very busy recently.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lige didn't ask any more questions. He just said "I know" and went straight to Yu Linglong's room with the box.
At that time, Yu Linglong was greeting Fu Longzhou. They were both stunned when they saw Jiang Lige, and then asked, "Is the work done up front?"
"There's someone taking care of us up front, so it's okay." Jiang Lige sat down with a smile, and then pushed the wooden box that Xiao Xingrong had just brought to Yu Linglong. "Sister Linglong, the jade is returned intact."
Yu Linglong was stunned when she heard this, and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the box. If you look closely, you can easily find that the hand hidden in the sleeve is still trembling slightly.
When the wooden box was opened, lying quietly inside was the secret wine-making recipe that Shopkeeper Lang lost to Jiang Lige.
Yu Linglong looked at the secret recipe carefully, and her emotions suddenly went out of control. She rushed into the inner room holding the thin piece of paper. The moment the curtain closed, suppressed crying was heard from inside.
Jiang Lige was stunned when he heard the voice, and just as he was about to move, he was held down by Fu Longzhou next to him.
"What Linglong lacks now is not comfort, but an outlet to vent."
Jiang Lige nodded, but did not move in the end. Instead, he bowed to Fu Longzhou and said sincerely.
"We in Chang'anfang were able to successfully survive this disaster thanks to you."
Fu Longzhou smiled when he saw this, but did not take credit for it. Instead, he lowered his voice and asked.
"Li Ge, tell me the truth, did you already know that I knew Linglong? Did you also know that what Linglong wanted was this secret recipe?"
