Ning Yunjin looked at the duty list for the next month again, and after confirming that it was correct, he was going to hand it in for preparation.Considering that he will celebrate his birthday in the manor tomorrow, he assigned himself a late shift, so that he would not have to ask for special leave, and he could also avoid those annoying sights from his colleagues recently.

The Hanlin Academy was originally a place with a relatively simple structure. Generally, there were two permanent bachelors in charge of the academy, and below them were two bachelors of servants and two bachelors of servants.Therefore, after Ning Yunjin was promoted, there were only three people at the same level as Ning Yunjin, and he immediately felt relieved.

Ning Yunjin has five people under his command, two are in the banner, and three are Han Chinese. They are all older than him. After the turmoil broke out, they all tended to avoid him.

Ning Yunjin didn't care about their attitudes at all. In this era when teenagers are a generation, some of them can be their own grandfathers. If they have no grievances and post them affectionately, I will doubt their people. product.

In view of the three festivals and two longevity gifts in the officialdom, Ning Yunjin waited unkindly to see what they would do.

It was night, and Ning Yunjin stayed alone in the duty room with his eyes closed and rested. The gift for his father was basically finished, so it was rather boring at night.

The sound of small footsteps outside the door suddenly woke him up.He opened his eyes and sat up on the bed, just in time to see Li Deming leaning sideways and opening the curtain.

Wen Zhen walked into the room with a very casual attitude, "Haven't you slept yet?"

Ning Yunjin quickly stood up and saluted, and said poorly, "I am waiting for your emperor's call at any time!"

Wen Zhen's eyes darkened for a moment and he narrowed his eyes slightly to look at him, and sat straight on the edge of the kang, "Seeing that the light is still on here, I will come to talk to you."

"It's so cold, why bother the emperor to take this trip." Ning Yunjin was a little surprised, the people on duty were not just for this service, they just let people pass him over.

"You always say that you don't listen to what I say. You just lost your vitality last year, and this year you spent all your energy on making a birthday present for your father..." Wen Zhen shook his head and sighed.

Ning Yunjin didn't dare to make a sound, so he touched his nose in embarrassment, and smiled at Wen Zhen, after all, he was doing it for his own good.

Wen Zhen really had nothing to do with him, and it was something he had already done, so it was hard to say more, so he turned to Li Deming and said, "Bring the things here."

Li Deming responded, turned around and took a tray from the little eunuch outside the door, and brought it to Wenzhen himself.

Ning Yunjin looked at the familiar long box on the tray, and couldn't help but have an unreliable guess in his heart.

Wen Zhen took the box, put it on the kang table, touched it reluctantly, and then pushed it directly in front of Ning Yunjin.

"It will be your birthday in two hours. This big birthday has passed your [-]th year, which is the age of Cheng Ding. Now that you have started working as an errand, I can't give you a reward directly, so I will give this jade flute to you. Here you go!"

"This... how did this make it..." Ning Yunjin was so shocked that he almost jumped up, "This is the emperor's favorite thing, how can I give it to this humble minister..."

His flattered expression made Wenzhen slightly raise the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "What's wrong, you have used this Xiao a lot in recent years."

"Then what's the matter..." Ning Yunjin said nastily, you must know that Wenzhen has never left this thing in his previous life, although he doesn't know where it came from, but it's too eye-catching for him to hold it.

"Don't think too much, if I tell you to take it, you can take it!" Wen Zhen's expression became solemn, and Ning Yunjin immediately faltered and hesitated.

Chief Executive Li Deming, who had recently figured out Wen Zhen's thoughts, couldn't help complaining in his heart when he saw this, no matter which minister suddenly received such a big gift from the emperor, he would think too much! ?Your Majesty, Sima Zhao's heart is really... tsk tsk!

Wen Zhen saw Ning Yunjin holding the box in both hands to thank him, and then he became amiable, "Your book is very good, but it is so good that I don't know what to do. I need time to discuss with the elders. These days Let me cause you trouble!"

"It's okay, Weichen didn't take those things to heart." Thinking of the white eyes and sarcasm of his colleagues, although Ning Yunjin felt a little bitter, he really didn't care much.

You must know that the lack of being a bachelor who is so noble and can often go in and out of the imperial court, Ji Xiaolan, who has such an outstanding literary talent in history, only climbed to such a position in her forties. It is also easy to be hated in officialdom.

"I knew you were kind-hearted!" Otherwise, Wen Zhen couldn't help but sighed silently until now that he hadn't discovered how those two "friends" thought about him.

He said earnestly and sincerely, "I originally wanted to help you out of this incident, but after thinking about it, it has never been a good thing for you. The worldly wisdom in the officialdom is just articles, not to praise you, hold you, or be close to you You are a good person, so you should take this opportunity to ponder over it carefully, and I can help you rectify your name after discussing with the elders."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love and care for me. My grandfather and father have also taught me this way." Ning Yunjin replied, looking at the box on the table with complicated eyes.

Although he knew that Wenzhen had been very kind to him in recent years, Ning Yunjin really didn't expect that he had already considered himself to such an extent, and he felt mixed feelings for a while.

He couldn't help thinking fiercely, why do you think this person is so cheap? He obviously decided not to think about getting family affection from him anymore, and treated him like a passerby-level immediate boss. Why did this person She just likes to get close to her, and tries to treat herself well...

"It's more like your grandfather learning how to behave in the world." Wen Zhen didn't know that he was being scolded secretly, and still laughed to himself, "If you didn't have the ability to rule the world as if you were born knowing it, you should really take care of it with your aptitude to worship the heavens." Cultivation is the right thing to do."

His smile dimmed a little after he finished speaking. If it wasn't for this kid's outstanding talent, and he had already stepped into the court, why should he be so embarrassing...

When it comes to cultivation, Ning Yunjin is depressed. Since two years ago, he has vaguely had a sign of a breakthrough, but until now he is still stuck at the peak of the second floor. vomiting blood.

He smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, you also know how difficult it is to become a great master. Although the humble minister has a greater advantage than ordinary people in having the ability to worship the heavens, who knows when the humble minister will become a great master!?"

Wen Zhen did understand Ning Yunjin's thoughts, the youngest grand master ever recorded in the clan was also promoted when he was nearly 30 years old.Becoming a grand master requires not only talent, but also opportunities, which cannot be achieved behind closed doors. Therefore, generally speaking, the age to become a grand master is in the sixtieth year.

Ning Yunjin is only in his teens now, even if he can become a grand master in ten or twenty years, but the time before that can't be raised by his family all the time, as a man, he must have his own career, besides If the path of cultivation is too full, it will overflow. You can only advance step by step, and there is really no rush.

Therefore, he just told Ning Yunjin not to delay his cultivation, so he didn't say any more.

The two chatted for a while, Wenzhen went back to the bedroom, leaving Ning Yunjin worried about the jade flute that was like a hot potato.

Such a big box is not even easy to hide, let alone interrogated. When I leave the palace tomorrow, people will know that the emperor rewarded me.

Others may not know what is in the box, but how could the concubines and the princes in the palace not know.These years, because of Wen Zhen's preference for himself, they have been jealous enough. When looking at him with those little eyes, they are like knives, wishing to stab themselves.

But Ning Yunjin is a heartless guy, anyway, things have already been bestowed by Wenzhen, so we will talk about the big things tomorrow.Seeing this posture, Wenzhen will not call himself again at night, he fell asleep as soon as he was wrapped in the quilt.

A night without dreams, good sleep quality made Ning Yunjin's complexion extremely rosy, looking very energetic.After handing over shifts with his colleagues, he happily rushed back to Ningfu.

The Ning Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons today, although it was still early, there were already carriages parked outside.

Before Ning Yunjin entered the mansion, the guard at the door stepped forward to congratulate him, and said that the eldest lady is here.

Hearing that his sister had returned to the mansion, Ning Yunjin was really overjoyed, and asked Qin Ming to seal him a reward, and he strode towards the inner house with great strides.You must know that it is not easy for a married woman to come back home these days. He really didn't expect that he would invite his sister over on his birthday.

The two siblings were very affectionate when they met. Although Ning Qiaoxin said a few words about his recklessness and causing disturbances all over the city, she felt very distressed about his situation and kept trying to keep him out of it.

Ning Yunjin didn't take it seriously at first, so he agreed very readily, but Ning Qiaoxin was a little at a loss, thinking that he had poked his brother's heart, so he quickly changed the subject and took out the clothes he sewed for him , let him try it on.

Since she had a child, Ning Qiaoxin has less time to do needlework, and as a married woman, it is not easy to go home all the time, so for Ning Yunjin, the clothes her sister made for herself are more important than those expensive gifts. precious.

In the morning when the yamen is busy, there are naturally not many guests who come, most of them are relatives and relatives, the distinguished ones are received by the old lady in person, and the ordinary ones are placed by Mu Tonger, with Ning Qiaoxin helping, naturally It is methodical, busy but not chaotic.

It wasn't until near noon that male guests arrived one after another. The first group of people who came with them were Xu Wuyu, Sun Benshan and other people who often drink and party with Ning Yunjin. Their attitudes were the same as usual. Yun Jin was not too polite with them, he still greeted them at the door after inviting them in.

The number of guests coming this year is much less than in previous years, and it is even worse than the scenery of Ning Yunjin Sanyuanji.Except for those few friends and relatives, most of them were sent by housekeepers to send congratulatory gifts, but none of the people who had been acquainted with him were missing.

Seeing that it was almost time for the banquet, and there probably would not be any guests coming at this time, Ning Yunjin sighed that the critical moment was due to the support of his family, so he prepared to go in and chat with his brother-in-law and the others.

He had just sat in the seat reserved for himself, and before Ning Yunjin had time to speak to anyone, he heard a young man from the porter announce him.

"The third prince, the fourth prince is here!"

These two were younger than Ning Yunjin, and they had an ordinary relationship when they were studying in the study room. He really didn't expect them to come, so he stood up in shock.

At this time, another servant came over panting, "The second prince is here too, you should hurry up to greet him, my lord!"

Ning Yunjin bowed his hands to the guests on the table, apologized, and prepared to rush to the front yard.

At this time Qin Ming came in a hurry, and Ning Yunjin knew it was not good when he saw his expression.

He just opened his mouth and said, "My lord, the prince is here!"

Ning Yunjin was stunned, what the hell are these younger brothers going to do! ?
