Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 431
After Ning Chengcheng was happy, he became irritable again.

She was not born for reading, and when she was young, her husband was invited to teach her sisters to read. Whenever she read a book, she felt dizzy and sleepy.

For 1 taels of silver, she forced herself to stay up all night, her back was dizzy and her head was swollen, and there were stars in front of her eyes.Just memorize the front and forget the back, and memorize the back and forget the front.

I can't wait to set that book on fire.

Tang Ting admired her expression, and stretched out her hand: "Bring the book."

Ning Chengcheng glanced at Cao'er.

Cao'er reluctantly took out the book and put it in Tang Ting's hands.

Tang Ting pinched the manuscript, smiled at Fei Cui and said, "Sister Fei Cui, can you help me prepare a pen and paper?"

Fei Cui said with a smile: "Young lady is still polite to slaves."

She turned around and went into Ning Xianxian's study, fetched a pen and paper, and arranged it on the table.

"Please, Second Miss." Tang Ting said with a smile.

Ning Chengcheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved to the table, picked up a pen, and said, "This ink is not good."

Xiaohuan was not happy when he heard it: "Our princess's ink is a famous ink gifted by Prince Ran, and you can't find three yuan in the whole capital. How can it be bad?"

Ning Chengcheng doesn't like reading and writing, and she doesn't know the name of ink, but she still doesn't feel happy when she hears that it was given by Mo Ran.

She suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked: "By the way, Princess, yesterday the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was interrupted by His Highness the Second Prince, what happened afterwards?"

At that time, except for Ning Xianxian who was taken away by Mrs. Qing and stayed in the palace, the other officials and ladies all left.

Most people were unaware and curious about what happened in the palace later.

Ning Xianxian glanced at Ning Chengcheng, thinking in his heart, it seems that Li Yanjun and Ning Chengxin waited for her last night to inquire about the affairs of the palace.

Holding the bowl, she thought for a while and said, "I don't know either."

"Didn't you come back very late?" Ning Chengcheng didn't believe it.

"I played mahjong with Master all day, and I don't know what happened elsewhere," Ning Xianxian said.

"Then how did your foot hurt?"

"I want you to take care of it." Ning Xianxian rolled his eyes.

"...Is it okay if I ask..." Ning Chengcheng felt a little wronged, "You have won, you are the queen-to-be, and you still care about me..."

"If you give me the 1000 taels you owe me right now, I'll tell you." Ning Xianxian said.

"I only have more than 600 taels on hand." Ning Chengcheng said.

Tang Ting was unhappy when she heard this: "You still owe Xianxian 1000 taels, so how do you pay back my 1000 taels?"

Ning Chengcheng said angrily: "I don't necessarily lose yet, just wait until I lose 1 taels!"

"Okay, then stop talking nonsense and write quickly. If you can write half of it now, I will give you 1 taels on the spot!" Tang Ting reached out and took out a stack of bank notes from her bosom, and slapped it on the table. Keep what you say, unlike some people who hold back."

Ning Chengcheng swallowed his saliva when he saw the stack of bank notes.

She can also be regarded as a daughter of gold, but she has never seen so much money in her life.

The other party was just a little girl around her age, but she could carry so much money with her, which made her feel sad, unfair, and wronged.

After all, no matter how great the official is, he still has to maintain a reputation of incorruptibility, which cannot be compared with the wealth of merchants.

However, she has always claimed to be noble, and even though her heart was filled with sourness, she said in a very high-minded manner: "With so many banknotes, I am afraid that others will not know that you are rich, and you smell like vulgar copper." .”

"You don't smell bad, so don't stay up all night." Tang Ting urged, patting the table, "Hurry up and write, don't take the opportunity to procrastinate!"

"Who took the opportunity to delay?"

Ning Chengcheng was also aggrieved. When he picked up the pen, he felt his arms weigh a thousand catties, and his mind was in chaos, so he couldn't think of anything.

1 taels, 1 taels!

That's a full 1 taels!

She tried desperately to calm herself down, trying to recall what she had seen last night.

but……

It's okay to let her carry it along the back, but it's backwards...

Concubines can't do it!

Tang Ting and Ning Xianxian looked at each other, and they saw her holding the pen holder with a ferocious face, gnashing her teeth and writing.

"Looking at her like this, I feel pity for her." Tang Ting smiled lowly, "Shouldn't we bully a retarded person?"

"Do you think she really has no money?" Ning Xianxian said disapprovingly, and lowered her voice, "Let me tell you, her net worth is definitely not less than your business in the capital."

"Ah?" Tang Ting was very surprised, "Did she just say it was only 600 taels of silver?"

"That's right, it's just that those are real properties, and they can't be turned into cash."

"That's useless..." Tang Ting was a little disappointed.

"We can turn her real estate into cash!" Ning Xianxian whispered a few words in her ear, and Tang Ting's eyes lit up.

Ning Chengcheng, who was racking his brains over there, suddenly felt a chill down his back.

She glanced at Ning Xianxian, and an ominous feeling flashed in her heart.

"...What are you looking at, write it quickly, so you don't forget it!" Tang Ting pointed her chin at her, like an unscrupulous landlady demanding rent.

Ning Chengcheng was on fire, but he still patiently wrote.

The books written by the gentlemen of the Hanlin Academy are not for ordinary people to read, and the whole text is difficult to understand.There are some words in it that Ning Chengcheng doesn't know.Why talk about reciting it backwards?
Tang Ting and Ning Xianxian were not in a hurry, they just sat at the table, eating breakfast slowly and chatting.

The maids in the room walked back and forth, but no one paid any attention to Ning Chengcheng's master and servant.

An entire hour passed, and on the white paper spread out in front of Ning Chengcheng, there were only seven or eight lines of words, which were still scribbled.

Tang Ting yawned and stood up: "I'm almost falling asleep, can you do it?"

Ning Chengcheng sullenly said, "I didn't write it well!"

"Hey, you have a good temper. Let me take a look..." Tang Ting walked over with her hands behind her back and looked at the paper on the table.

After reading only a few words, Tang Ting laughed out loud, pointed to a word, and said, "If I remember correctly, the word in this sentence should be 沕, not Wu."

Ning Chengcheng was dizzy, and hurriedly reached out his hand to fill it with three glasses of water, and said, "Of course I remember, I just missed it when I wrote it."

"Okay, okay, you continue." Tang Ting glanced at it with a half-smile, walked back to Ning Xianxian, and said with a low smile, "There are five or six of the ten words wrong. If this is done by the Imperial Academy The old gentleman knows, he must vomit blood."

Ning Xianxian smiled: "Tell me, how much money did you spend yesterday to buy this manuscript from the female officer?"

"Five taels of silver..."

"I think if someone finds out about you, you will be so angry."

"Scholars are self-proclaimed, how dare they buy books so expensive?" Tang Ting said convincingly, "It's a big deal, when I get 1000 taels of silver, I will donate [-] to the old man to publish in the bookstore."

"It's a serious matter. Those old gentlemen have been buried in books all their lives. They have lived a poor life. They have worked hard for several years to write something. They don't even have the money to publish it. They can only copy it out word by word." Ning Xianxian He laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I will also donate 500 taels to make up enough 1000 taels for the old man to publish."
