Chapter 148
When Jiang Ning bought a house in Shanghai, the income certificate issued by the wealthy manager's brother made the first purchase of the house very quick and efficient.
But it is not so easy to get a loan in Beijing. Even if the bank has seen Jiang Ning's deposits and cash flow, they still need to review them. This is the process.
So Jiang Ning got the loan approved on the second day after arriving in Beijing. After everything was settled, he carried his backpack and dragged his luggage to the training location.
The teachers who came to teach them this time were two professors from the Department of Mathematics of Kyoto University and a professor from the Department of Mathematics of National Tsinghua University.
During the four weeks of winter camp, one third of the original 300-plus students were eliminated, leaving more than 200 people. Among these 200-plus people, another one third of the students will be eliminated after the next four weeks of study, until only twelve people are left in the end.
When Jiang Ning arrived at the training team, she went to the guard room to borrow a phone and called Wang Yong, saying that if she wanted to contact her next time, she could only call this number.
Wang Yong knew that Jiang Ning was currently in the winter camp training team. Because Jiang Ning had not been able to submit the manuscript on time before, she had informed him in advance that she might need to train for the next period of time due to competition reasons and would not be able to submit the manuscript on time. Although she had saved a large number of manuscripts for him in advance, since she could not guarantee when the next batch of manuscripts would be submitted, "Wuxia" would need to re-plan the weekly serialized manuscripts.
In fact, Jiang Ning has always been one of the authors with the highest number of serialized articles in their magazine every week.
Nowadays, most authors still submit manuscripts by hand, writing on letter paper, copying it again and mailing it to magazines. Some use email, but most people now type with two fingers. Anyone who can reach a speed of 1,000 per hour can be a typist.
Therefore, people like Jiang Ning, who can reach a normal speed of 6,000 km/h and over 8,000 km/h during explosive bursts, are very, very rare. Generally, being able to reach a speed of 2,000 km/h is already very impressive.
Writing on paper is even slower.
Lemon Tree publishes a lot of serialized content in each issue, and readers enjoy following it.
Wang Yong expressed Director Li Ang's suggestion to Ningmeng: "Can we change the modern officialdom story to the ancient officialdom? Add some martial arts elements?"
Jiang Ning immediately thought of the works he had seen in his previous life, such as "The Four" and "The World's Number One", which combined the court, the underworld, and martial arts.
She didn't want to agree to Wang Yong's proposal at first, because writing about ancient officialdom required looking up a lot of information, especially history. She couldn't just ignore history and write blindly. This would kill a lot of her brain cells. It was also contrary to her original idea that in a modern officialdom article, the heroine would start from a small town, then move to a county, and then to a city, develop the economy, and from the government's perspective, lead well-known domestic companies to compete with foreign companies, protect local brands, and prevent foreign companies from taking over.
Because many of them are her and her leader’s real experiences. Even if they are not their real experiences, she has seen many cases in her previous life, so it would be easy and brainless to write them.
But... not only were authors in real life not allowed to write anything about officialdom, even Ning Meng in the 1990s was asked not to write about officialdom. So at Wang Yong's suggestion, Ning Meng agreed to Wang Yong and changed the brainless modern officialdom text into an ancient Jianghu and court text.
She had just finished writing a work with a similar plot, "The Great Song Dynasty", and was in a state of intensive training at the moment. She didn't want to write a work that was too brain-burning and the plot was not her forte, so after hanging up the phone, she thought for a moment and another inspiration came to her. If she couldn't write about officialdom, then she would write about the imperial examination.
She has already thought of a name, which is "The Years I Served as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Ningmeng has made up her mind to use all her traffic to the fullest and insisted on using the title "I Was... Those Years" to the end, so that people can tell at a glance that this article was written by Ningmeng.
The first time people took advantage of the situation was when they took advantage of "Justice Bao", and also when they took advantage of the TV series adaptation.
The second time they took advantage of the situation was when they took advantage of "White Snake" and also got the film and television rights.
The third time she was fleeced, she was the one who got the benefit. As for how much benefit she could get, Ning Meng herself didn’t know.
As she dragged her suitcase inside, she was still thinking about how she should start the essay for the imperial examination.
It is easy to write a simple imperial examination essay, but it becomes difficult to combine the imperial examination with martial arts.
The dormitory is a double room, somewhat similar to a standard room in a hotel. The slight difference is that the beds in the room are upper and lower bunks, with the upper bunk being a bed and the lower bunk being a desk and bookshelf.
The two beds are placed face to face. In addition, there is a cabinet against the wall on the side of the bed facing the door. The two cabinets on the top have a lock on each, so you can put some personal belongings in them and lock them. There is a shelf underneath, where you can put a large suitcase, and in the middle you can put a foot basin or a washbasin, etc.
Jiang Ning's other roommate hasn't arrived yet.
Jiang Ning flew directly to Beijing from Shanghai in advance to buy a house there because she had finished her business in Shanghai. Even though she was delayed for two days, it was still early for her to arrive at the training team. It was estimated that there were not many people in the entire training team yet. After all, they came from all over the country. Some people would have to sit on the green train for several days and nights. Students like Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng who flew here directly to save time were still a minority.
After Jiang Ning arrived at the dormitory, he first put his various belongings neatly on the desk and bookshelf, then picked up the draft paper and pen, and wrote "The Years I Was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard" on the top of the letter paper.
Taking into account the need for harmony, first of all, this ancient times cannot be a real historical dynasty, it has to be fictional.
Considering that the Jinyiwei was an institution unique to the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Ning simply created it for the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. As the dynasty was heading towards its end, the people in the martial arts world spontaneously formed many martial arts sects and gangs in order to protect themselves. Some of these sects and gangs were heroes with high martial arts skills. They helped the emperor to build an empire and made great contributions, and became court nobles. However, some of them were still in the martial arts world, using the martial arts methods to travel around, and had no regard for the laws of the court at all.
As the saying goes, knights break the law with force. In order to regulate the social customs of the martial arts world, the imperial court set up the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Six Gates, and the Shenhou Mansion to specifically manage the affairs of the martial arts world. The Six Gates were specifically responsible for martial arts cases and arresting the criminals.
The heroine, yes, is still the heroine.
The heroine was born into a noble family of a founding military general. The court stipulated that only the legitimate son born to the main wife could inherit the title. The heroine's mother, as the main wife of the marquis, had six daughters in a row. When the seventh child came, even though the doctor had repeatedly said that this baby would definitely be a boy, it was still a girl after it was born. At this time, the mistress of the marquis's mansion was already in her thirties, and giving birth to this seventh daughter made her an elderly mother. To prevent accidents, the marquis's wife simply joined forces with her wet nurse to announce to the public that the seventh daughter was a legitimate son.
From then on, the marquis's mansion, which had a legitimate son, finally had an heir.
It was at this time that the heroine traveled through time.
In order to conceal the heroine's gender, everything around her since she was a child was taken care of by the marquis's wife and her wet nurse. Even her personal maid and servants were the wet nurse's daughter and son, that is, her wet nurses and wet sisters. They and the marquis's wife had a relationship of sharing weal and woe.
Outsiders thought that the Marquis's wife had given birth to six daughters in a row before she had a son in her middle age, so it was normal for her to be a little nervous about doting on him. After all, this was the only legitimate son of the Marquis's family and the future heir to the Marquis's family. If the Marquis's family had no heir, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, which was an imaginary dynasty, the title would be taken back.
Because the heroine is a time traveler, she knows this secret and has paid special attention to privacy since she was a child. Thanks to the efforts of the Marquis's wife, her wet nurse, her personal maid and servant, and her own rooms, her identity is not only not exposed, but it becomes more and more confirmed as she grows up. Especially when she reaches the age to practice martial arts, the Marquis discovers that his legitimate son is actually a martial arts genius.
Jiang Ning is considering whether to give the heroine a cheat code. For example, when she was a fetus, she held a congenital energy in her mouth. This congenital energy transformed her body into a congenital body, allowing her to have extraordinary comprehension in martial arts, making rapid progress, and her cultivation of internal strength even enabled her to open her Ren and Du meridians.
Or she may have a jade token, in which a drop of the essence of the sun and the moon condenses every day. This essence of the sun and the moon can help people cleanse their essence and marrow, cure diseases, and strengthen their bodies if they are healthy.
The advantage of this golden finger is that she can train the confidants around her to become martial arts masters. After all, the future commander of the Jinyiwei cannot fight alone without a few talented and skilled subordinates to do things for her. How can she do that?
Jiang Ning decided to use the second method and train all the servants and maids around the heroine into masters. Even the wet nurse of the marquis's wife who was old in the eyes of outsiders, the personal maid, the dignified and virtuous marquis's wife, and the six sisters who were famous for their virtue and kindness, all had martial arts talents blessed by the essence of the sun and the moon. Each of them was a gentle martial arts master. They acted like gentle and virtuous ladies in front of others, but crushed teacup lids into powder for fun in front of their husbands behind their backs.
Originally, she thought she had traveled through time to an ordinary ancient time, but unexpectedly, it was a dynasty that had never existed in history. What was even more exaggerated was that there were actually high-ranking martial artists in this world. These martial artists would kill the entire family if they disliked any "dog official". This made the heroine feel insecure about this world since she was a child, fearing that one day a martial arts master from this world would fly to her home and stab her with a sword.
So ever since she could speak, she had been pestering her father to let her learn martial arts and to hire a martial arts master.
The Marquis's father, the old Marquis, was a martial artist with great martial arts skills when he was young. He followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world when he was young, and only then did he get his current title. Therefore, martial arts are passed down in his family.
However, the family martial arts are too tough and more suitable for men to practice, not suitable for women.
The Marquis didn't know that his only legitimate son was a girl. He just thought that his son was not talented enough to practice the family martial arts. However, the servant around her practiced their family's martial arts and had a very good talent.
But what should I do if my son really wants to learn martial arts? So the Marquis invited masters who were tired of the disputes in the martial arts world and wanted to retire to come to the mansion and be teachers to the young master of the Marquis' mansion. Originally, after retiring from the martial arts world, these people just wanted to find a stable place to spend their old age. Knowing that the young master was not very talented, they just taught him casually. As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that the young master, apart from learning the martial arts of their family, had made rapid progress in learning the martial arts of these martial arts masters, comparable to a genius rarely seen in a century.
Not only did she learn it herself, she also called all the maids and servants around her to learn together, including her six sisters and the guards of the marquis's mansion.
She was strong alone and could never take care of the entire Marquis' Mansion. She would not feel at ease until the military strength of the Marquis' Mansion was improved.
Jiang Ning has written the outline here, and the first volume has basically been completed. The first volume is not long, and it basically explains the heroine's growth background and a stage of secretly accumulating military power.
The second stage is that the heroine is chosen as the companion of the crown prince because she is the eldest son of a marquisate.
Here Jiang Ning referred to Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Biao's legitimate son Zhu Xiongying. Here, Jiang Ning set them up as wise and brave, the best heirs of the Ming Dynasty, but they were all weak and did not live long.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a hidden illness because he had fought on the battlefield with Emperor Taizu in his early years. His Royal Highness the Crown Grandson, because the Crown Princess was pregnant with him, had to stay in the rear for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was not yet a Crown Prince at the time. Not only did she have to be in charge of palace affairs, but also logistics and food supplies. In addition, he was poisoned by some secret poison from the previous dynasty in the Western Regions. Although the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, who was highly skilled in medicine, detoxified her and she successfully gave birth to the Crown Prince, her body was damaged as a result. Not only was she herself weak, but the power of some things in the Crown Prince's Palace was transferred to the concubine, and she only had one son, the Crown Prince.
It just so happens that the heroine becomes the study companion of the Crown Prince, which means that the heroine's family is directly tied to the Crown Prince's boat. If the Crown Prince falls, the heroine's family will naturally be in trouble.
In order to protect her own family, the heroine protected the Crown Prince as if he were her own eye, fearing that this weak-looking Crown Prince who would not live long would die and implicate her family.
However, the Crown Prince misunderstood and thought that the heroine was loyal and courageous to him. In addition, since they grew up together, he treated the heroine as his close friend.
This also sets the stage for the heroine to become the 'Jinyiwei Commander' later on.
Because the two grew up together, they often discussed the current chaos in the martial arts world. They both believed that the martial arts world should be rectified. Because the rules of the martial arts world are controlled by the court, the two have the same ideas. In addition, the heroine comes from modern times and has a lot of modern policies and ideas. As they grew up together, they subtly instilled these ideas into the little grandson, who also regarded his study partner as a great talent.
During this process, the heroine often used the essence of the sun and the moon condensed in her jade pendant to regulate the body of the little prince, remove the fetal toxins in his body, and cleanse his essence and marrow, making him strong and healthy, with sharp ears and eyes. As a result, he became the longest-lived emperor in history, and the heroine also became the most famous powerful minister in history, and she and the emperor got along well with each other.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only meets the heroine occasionally, and even if they do, it is difficult for the heroine to have access to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's tea and snacks. As a result, the heroine has searched for every opportunity, but there is only one such opportunity, which is to drop a drop of the essence of the sun and the moon into the Crown Prince's tea, which is then served to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the Crown Prince's grandson, and repairs the hidden injuries that the Crown Prince suffered on the battlefield when he was young.
However, the Crown Princess, because of the Crown Prince, was often taken to the backyard to play by the Crown Princess. There were several opportunities to use the essence of the sun and the moon to regulate the Crown Princess's body. Not only did the remaining poison in the Crown Princess's body get rid of all, but the Crown Princess also regained her former radiance and slowly took control of the power in the palace.
Jiang Ning kept writing until it was getting dark. As the sky darkened, she quickly put away the paper and pen in her hand, put the draft paper in the drawer and locked it.
In fact, it is best to type these on a computer, which is not only fast but also easy to save.
After cleaning up all these, Jiang Ning washed his hands and prepared to go downstairs to finish his meal.
She thought Song Peifeng hadn't arrived in Beijing yet. Unexpectedly, when she walked out of the dormitory, she happened to see Song Peifeng coming out of the dormitory building. She couldn't help but greet him with a smile: "Hi, I didn't expect you to be here too. I thought you still had two days!"
At present, the fastest ones to arrive here are a few students from Beijing and Tianjin. As for the others who live far away, except for a few who come by plane, such as students from Funan, Fubei, Hujian, and Sichuan Province, it takes several days to get here by green train.
Song Peifeng stood in front of the white dormitory building. The orange-red sunset cast a soft halo on the boy's figure. He smiled at her lightly, and said calmly, "Yes, what a coincidence, let's go eat together?"
Jiang Ning saw some beads of sweat on his forehead, so she gathered her down jacket and scarf and said with a sigh, "It's so cold, and you're sweating."
It’s good to be young, full of energy.
Jiang Ning has always had a somewhat cold constitution since childhood.
It is better in this life. In her previous life, she suffered from malnutrition during adolescence and lost too much weight. In addition, she often worked day and night, exhausted herself, and thought too much, so her health was not good and she was afraid of cold and heat.
So after her rebirth, even though she returned to her youth, she lived the health-preserving life of a middle-aged or elderly person, drinking warm water, wearing long underwear, and always wearing a large down jacket and a cotton-padded jacket, wrapping herself tightly, demonstrating with her own actions what it meant to prefer warmth over manners.
Only those who have experienced it will understand that the most important things in this world are life and health.
However, because of her words, Song Peifeng's ears turned slightly red. Fortunately, the scarf was wrapped around his neck, otherwise she would see that not only his ears were red, but his neck was also stained pink.
The two walked side by side to the cafeteria. There were other students walking there as well, but very few of them were together like Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng. Even though they had trained for a month before, they had basically been studying intensively during that month and had few opportunities to develop feelings for each other. In addition, due to the elimination system, more than a hundred people were eliminated in the first four weeks, causing them to be more nervous and put all their energy into studying. As a result, they were very unfamiliar with each other.
Song Peifeng asked Jiang Ning: "Will you still run tomorrow morning? Together?"
During the one-month winter camp, the two of us ran together basically every day. We didn’t make any appointments, but we always ran into each other, as if we had made an appointment beforehand.
Since their previous encounters were indeed coincidences, Jiang Ning did not consider whether the later ones were coincidences. Regardless of whether they were or not, what did it have to do with her? It's just one more running buddy, and having a running buddy like this who you can always run with is actually a good experience. Occasionally the two of us can chat for a few words, but most of the time we just run in silence.
Those who come to the winter camp are basically students from famous schools in various provinces and cities. You can tell that their schools are key schools in their province or city just by looking at their school names. Only Song Peifeng and Jiang Ning come from schools in unknown small towns. However, judging from the names of their schools, they should also be key schools in the city. After all, which student who comes here is not the best of the top students in their respective provinces and cities?
When the two of them were eating, they also ate at the same table. Song Peifeng knew that Jiang Ning loved to drink milk, so while he was getting his own food, he helped Jiang Ning get a cup of hot milk.
Jiang Ning didn't like drinking milk, but she knew that when growing up, the most needed nutrients for the body are meat, eggs and milk. In order to be healthier and stronger, she basically had to consume enough meat, eggs and milk every day.
While eating, Song Peifeng asked her casually, "Are you going to the classroom later?"
Jiang Ning wanted to continue writing the outline of her new article, so she smiled and said, "I'll go to the computer classroom later."
The training team has a computer classroom. They have already stayed here for a month and are not unfamiliar with the place. The post-New Year training has not officially started yet. Every student who comes to the training team can go to the computer classroom by themselves to study or play with the computer.
Song Peifeng asked in surprise: "You seem to be very interested in computers. Do you want to develop in the field of computers in the future? Computers are indeed a major trend and a popular major in the future."
Jiang Ning smiled and shook her head again: "No." She didn't have anything to hide, so she smiled and said: "I'm typing on the computer."
"Type?" This unfamiliar word made Song Peifeng look a little confused.
He looked at her intently, with total interest in his eyes.
Jiang Ning smiled and explained: "It's just writing."
Song Peifeng was really surprised. From the first time he met Jiang Ning, she had always shown the image of a perfect science student, especially in the subjects of mathematics and physics. Even the competition teachers in Wuzhong praised her for her extraordinary understanding. From the on-campus competition in Wucheng No. 1 Middle School, to the preliminaries in Wucheng County, to the city competition and provincial competition, the two of them had always taken exams and competed together, and won first prizes in three provincial competitions together.
With such competition results, she is still writing after school? Are you so comfortable with it?
Even when he saw her in the Internet cafe, he did not touch her privacy. He just stood at the bar and waited for her quietly. From a distance, he saw her fingers flying on the keyboard and thought she was doing something related to the computer. Unexpectedly...
He asked in surprise: "Were you in the Internet cafe that time?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I'm writing!"
