Chapter XX
Very quickly.
The two of them started drinking in the pavilion.
Because of Shen Zhong and his lackeys, Ning Mo was not stingy with his words, and he improved by leaps and bounds.
Even the way he addressed her…
It had all been changed.
Ning Mo addressed Shen Zhong as Brother Shen while Shen Zhong still addressed Ning Mo as Lord Marquis.
After drinking a pot of wine.
Ning Mo smiled calmly and said,"
"Brother Shen just said that he wants to find a job under me. I think he wants to enter the army! "However, my Great Chu's Black Knights are a little special, so it's not easy to place you in. If I let you be a big soldier, it would be difficult for you.”
This was true.
Even if Shen Zhong was only a concubine's son and did not have an official position, he was still very clear that the new army that the Chu Emperor had personally ordered to be formed was definitely not that simple. The possibility of him wanting to enter was too low.
As for…
Shen Zhong did not have any thoughts of becoming a big soldier and starting from scratch!
Pa da---
Putting down the small wine glass in his hand, Shen Zhong tactfully refilled Ning Mo's glass.
Ning Mo took a bite of the food that went with the wine."
"I can give Brother Shen a job in the four armies. In addition, if Brother Shen is interested, why don't you do business with me? I have a few businesses recently and I lack some partners!”
Swoosh--
After hearing Ning Mo's words, he knew that Ning Mo had used the coal business and restaurant business to make a fortune in the Imperial City. In addition, Ning Mo had promised to find him a job in the Four Quarters Army.
Shen Zhong was excited.
"Many thanks for Lord Marquis's guidance. I dare not die for Lord Marquis!”
He smiled.
Ning Mo smiled faintly."
"You and I hit it off at first sight. Helping you find a job and bringing you to do business is also because of fate! I, Ning Mo, have always treated people with sincerity. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you!”
Shen Zhong naturally shed tears of gratitude.
Ning Mo didn't care how much of the other party's words were true.
As long as the benefits were in place, there was no need to worry about too many things.
Of course.
If it was really something extremely important, Ning Mo would only hand it over to his 100% loyal subordinates.
However, Ning Mo knew that he couldn't rely on his own people.
Therefore, Shen Zhong was the person he wanted to support.
There were two reasons.
The first reason was that Shen Zhong was an illegitimate son and was easy to control. The second reason was that Ning Mo could not only choose Shen Zhong, so he did not mind giving it a try. If it did not work, he would change to someone else!
Clang! Clang!
Just as Ning Mo and Shen Zhong were chatting, the sound of a gong rang out. Ning Mo, who was sipping a glass of wine, was slightly stunned. His face revealed a puzzled expression. Clearly, he didn't understand the meaning of this gong sound!
"Lord Marquis,"
Shen Zhong stood up and said to Ning Mo,"
"This is the signal for a banquet. Whether it's a poetry meet or a walk, there will always be such a process. The elders of each family will want to see their juniors, do poetry, talk about the world, and so on. After this, today's poetry meet will be over.”
He understood.
This was the last moment of the talent show, or rather, it was the time for the elders to see the outstanding children of other families.
It was the final segment of the blind date!
Of course.
This was a chance for young men and women who did not have a crush on someone to show off. As for those who already had a crush on someone and were even starting to propose marriage, the time before this was the time to cultivate their relationship.
"Interesting!"
After understanding, Ning Mo smiled."
"I'm hungry! Let's go, Shen Zhong, let's eat!"
Whoosh--
As he spoke.
Ning Mo flung his sleeves and headed straight for the banquet.
The corner of Shen Zhong's mouth twitched as he followed.
"Lord Marquis, the most important thing at this banquet is not eating, but…"
He waved his hand.
Ning Mo said casually,"
"You're wrong! On such occasions, eating was the most important thing!”
Poetry?
After obtaining the Encyclopedia of Tang and Song Poetry, Ning Mo expressed that although he didn't know how to write poems or lyrics, he could just copy a few of them and it would be enough to beat up anyone who dared to use poetry to jump around in front of him.
Poetry was pretentious.
If he couldn't even do this, Ning Mo would have wasted his time traveling here.
Very quickly.
With Shen Zhong's introduction, Ning Mo came to the huge palace where the banquet was held. It was sheltered from the wind and was surrounded by a very large stove, making it rather warm.
Da da--
Footsteps sounded.
Ning Mo entered the palace under the guidance of a maid. The palace that had been filled with noise instantly quieted down, and the gazes of men and women fell on him.
Ning Mo didn't care much about their gazes.
He directly sat down on a short table and chair in the front of the hall.
As for Shen Zhong, he didn't have the qualifications to sit at the front, only a seat at the entrance of the hall.
"Greetings, Marquis Wu An!"
Just as Ning Mo sat down, a crisp voice came from beside him.
He was stunned for a moment.
Ning Mo turned to look at the beautiful lady beside him.
He nodded casually.
"You're welcome."
Ning Mo didn't say anything else after that. He sat quietly in his seat and waited for the banquet to begin.
As for the beautiful young lady beside him,
Ning Mo didn't know who she was, and he didn't know if she had someone she liked. More importantly, he didn't have any feelings for her, so he didn't want to talk to her.
She noticed that Ning Mo didn't seem to have any intention of communicating.
The elegant woman pursed her lips and tactfully did not continue to disturb Ning Mo. She just sat quietly in her seat.
Of course.
Occasionally, she would look at Ning Mo curiously.
He was curious.
"Before this, I only heard of Marquis Wu An's bravery. There were also people who said that he was good-looking. Who would have thought that he was actually so handsome and graceful!”
She pursed her lips.
"What a handsome Langjun!"
As the elegant girl was observing her, Ning Mo, who had a keen sense of perception, naturally noticed it.
She turned around.
He looked at the girl.
"How should I address this lady?"
She was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ning Mo to take the initiative to talk to her.
After the girl reacted, she said,
He said softly,
"Lord Marquis, you can just call me Li Qingxuan!”
He raised his eyebrows.
Ning Mo looked at Li Qingxuan in surprise."
"Li Qingxuan? Could it be that she was the daughter of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Li Wangzhi, the talented West Chu woman known as the master of poetry and literature, Layman Blue Moon? A poem,'Looking at the Moon,' and a poem,'Ode to the Moon'. West Chu's bamboos were precious! Hmph hmph hmph…"
In the end,
Ning Mo couldn't help but let out an ambiguous laugh.
Li Qingxuan had been quite pleased with herself when she heard Ning Mo's understanding of her, but Ning Mo's mysterious laughter at the end of his sentence had stunned her.
Was he complimenting her or mocking her?
Li Qingxuan frowned.
"Lord Marquis, what does this laughter mean?”
He shook his head.
Ning Mo only smiled casually."
"Nothing! However, after hearing Miss Li's words, it reminded me of another woman. She has the same surname as Miss Li and has a similar reputation…In short, you two have many similarities!”
Ning Mo was talking about Li Qingzhao.
This one…
She was a real talented woman!
She was known as the most talented woman in history, and was also known as Yi An. Her reputation was even greater than Li Qingxuan's.
Hearing Ning Mo's words.
Li Qingxuan's brows still furrowed."
"Is that so? But I feel that Lord Marquis's laughter has ill intentions…"
He raised his eyebrows.
Ning Mo glanced at Li Qingxuan.
He casually poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
"Miss Li, if you insist, then I have no choice! However, I really don't have any bad thoughts…Do I need Miss Li's permission to laugh however I want?”
He pursed his lips.
Li Qingxuan spoke again."
"I've only heard that Lord Marquis is brave and uses soldiers like a god…I never thought that Lord Marquis's verbal skills would be so amazing!”
Pa da---
He put down his wine glass and filled it up for himself.
Ning Mo continued,"
"Miss Li, you don't have to worry about this marquis 'eloquence. In the future, this marquis' wife will know!”
He was stunned for a moment.
Li Qingxuan's face immediately turned red, both angry and embarrassed.
She was angry because Ning Mo's attitude made her unhappy, but she was embarrassed because Ning Mo's words were ambiguous. How did Madam know about his eloquence? He had to do something!
"Lecher!"
She gritted her teeth.
After cursing in her heart, Li Qingxuan turned her head and waited for the banquet to start without saying anything to Ning Mo.
In this regard,
Ning Mo didn't have any thoughts about it.
He would not spoil anyone!
No matter how outstanding Li Qingxuan was, Ning Mo didn't care. She wasn't even his woman, so why would he have to make do with her? Even if it was his woman, Ning Mo would not spoil her.
Even if his future woman was a white swan.
He said he wanted to press his head,
He would definitely have to press his head!
