The people who were suffering from hunger and cold naturally felt a little warmer after seeing such beautiful fireworks, since beautiful things can always improve people's mood.
After watching the fireworks, Ning Ye picked up Lin Qinshu in front of everyone and strode back to his room. As for what would happen tonight, Lin Qinshu was already prepared not to get out of bed tomorrow.
The next morning, Ning Ye emerged from his room feeling refreshed, while Lin Qinshu didn't show up until noon.
During the holidays, it's customary to visit relatives, but Ning Ye didn't seem to have any relatives to visit. So he simply sent a lot of gifts to his fourth uncle, and he also gave gifts to his fourth uncle's daughter and son.
If it weren't for the fact that this little girl and her youngest son are both so young, Ning Ye would have already put them under his command, and they would have a secure job right now.
The reason why people are said to be ugly is actually related to their living environment. After not having to work for more than half a year, their faces are no longer so rough.
After giving Ning Ye a few more words of encouragement, Ning Ye turned and left. He still had a gift to deliver to Lord Wang today, and he couldn't forget Lin Changhe either, since both of them had helped him before.
Just as Ning Ye was leading his men carrying gift boxes to Qingyuan County, he suddenly noticed that the blood around him seemed to have become more solid than before. It shouldn't be too difficult to go out and rescue them. However, he also knew exactly how many people had been rescued in the past few days.
As soon as you enter Qingyuan County, you can see many people standing by the roadside. As for why they don't sit down or squat down, it's because it's too cold. Everyone is stamping their feet frantically, and there's no chance to sit down.
Ning Ye had already seen the suffering of the people, but he had done everything he was supposed to do. Asking him to do anything more would be asking too much, so he simply turned a blind eye.
Upon arriving at the yamen, Ning Ye immediately launched into a three-part New Year's greeting combo.
Being shameless can be considered a special skill that Ning Ye has learned. Being shameless towards those close to him can sometimes bring unexpected benefits.
Looking at the red envelope offered to him, Wang Mingyuan was unsure whether he should accept it or not. If he did, he couldn't just accept it without giving a return gift.
The problem is that Ning Ye and the others brought quite a lot of things, so if I were to return the favor, I would naturally have to give something at least the same.
Wang Mingyuan subtly gave Xu Sanguan a look, and Xu Sanguan immediately understood, "Young Ning, how much have you prepared for this gift? If it's too small, the master won't accept it."
"Hi, I know you don't like mundane things, and the other things you have are just everyday items. But what I have in my hand is a very precious calligraphy copybook. I believe you will like it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Mingyuan immediately became interested, took the red envelope, and found the calligraphy copybook by Yan Zhenqing inside.
Wang Mingyuan was immediately captivated. "This calligraphy is simply too good! Who wrote it? Where is it now? Could you introduce me?"
After Xu Sanguan secretly glanced at it, he was filled with admiration. The characters written in the calligraphy book were powerful yet varied, and they even carried a very profound artistic conception. This was something that ordinary people could not write.
Thinking carefully about contemporary calligraphy, it seems that no one among the masters uses such a strong and forceful style. If such a person truly existed, he would surely be remembered throughout history, but we have never heard of him.
Ning Ye touched his nose and said, "Lord Wang, I really want to introduce you, but it's not convenient right now. If there's an opportunity in the future, there might be more works like this, and I will definitely send them to you then. So please don't ask any more questions, Lord Wang."
Wang Mingyuan's eyes held a scrutinizing look. "Could it be that you wrote this calligraphy yourself? If that's the case, then I'll have to think much more highly of you."
Ning Ye shook his head repeatedly, "Lord Wang, please don't flatter me. Don't you know? I can barely read a few characters. For me to write such good characters is harder than climbing to heaven. It's just that it's inconvenient to reveal the person behind it."
Wang Mingyuan said with a hint of regret, "The person who can write such characters must have their own pride. It's probably hard for ordinary people to compare with them. It's normal to have your own personality. Since they don't want you to talk about it, then you should keep your mouth shut."
Even Xu Sanguan felt that it would be a great regret if he could not meet this person in his life, but he also had to respect the person's wishes. If the person did not want to meet him, there was nothing he could do.
Ning Ye said that the other things he sent were indeed worthless, but in reality, the sentiment behind them was not lacking at all. In the few years that Wang Mingyuan had been working here, this was the first time someone had come to his door with gifts at this time.
"In any case, I accept your kind offer. Today is a good day, so I'll give you a big gift in return, so you won't have anything to say about me later."
Wang Mingyuan turned and walked towards the inner courtyard, beckoning Ning Ye to follow.
Apart from the small garden that Magistrate Wang Mingyuan had created, there really wasn't anything else worth mentioning. After all, the inner courtyard looked rather shabby, and there were hardly any maids or servants to be seen.
However, there were many guards dressed in black, which shows that Wang Mingyuan takes his safety very seriously.
They had almost one person every ten steps, ensuring surveillance without any blind spots. If anyone dared to enter the inner courtyard, they would be discovered immediately.
There is naturally a study in this inner courtyard, but it seems that Wang Mingyuan does not come in here often. When the room is opened, there is even a very obvious musty smell.
As soon as Wang Mingyuan entered the room, he started rummaging through the bookshelves. They were full of boxes, and each box must have contained something, and something very important, since the boxes were made of sandalwood.
After searching for a while, Wang Mingyuan finally found a box and placed it on the desk.
