Chapter 77

"Xueqing, it should be Brother Ning."

A gentle and honest male voice came from the open room.

When she ran one meter in front of Ning Jing, the girl who was about to reach out to hold him stopped, and said to her back, "Got it!" Turning around, her round eyes were full of smiles, and she walked in a proper manner. Fuli, "Brother Ning, we meet again."

The girl has fair skin and a pretty face. When she smiles, her eyebrows are curved, and her eyes are lively and agile.

"En." Ning Jing only responded lightly.

The girl stretched out her hand, "Where is the gift you promised me?"

"Sorry, I forgot." But Ning Jing's voice could not hear the slightest apology and no emotion.

The girl froze, and another voice came from the room, "Xueqing, don't mess around."

"Oh." The girl pursed her lips and made a gesture of invitation, "Brother Ning, go in, Daddy has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ning Jing nodded slightly, and walked forward. The girl's eyes fell on the basket, and she murmured to herself in doubt, "Senior brother Ning is like this because of family changes..."

When Ning Jing reached the door, a sigh came from inside, "Come in."

When he entered the door, he saw a thin and elegant middle-aged man sitting by the window, with a well-trimmed beard and a gray gown, looking at Ning Jing with faint concern.

This is the dean of Qianshan Academy, a well-known Confucian in Qianguo today. His surname is Lin and his name is Shu Zhi.

The one who ran out to meet Ning Jing just now was Lin Shuzhi's youngest daughter, named Lin Xueqing.

After Ning Jing entered the door, he didn't take the initiative to speak, but closed his eyes and stood quietly.

After a long sigh, Lin Shuzhi said, "That time when you received a letter from your family and learned that Lingtang was critically ill and left the academy in a hurry, it seems like it was yesterday."

Tranquility and silence.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Lin Shuzhi shook his head, stood up, and looked at Ping Ping at the same level, "You are affectionate and sensitive. After encountering those things, I have no news. As a teacher, I am really afraid that you will commit suicide. I heard about you earlier. , It was you who took the exam in Bei'an County and won the top case. Now that you are doing well, I feel relieved as a teacher. Sit down."

Ning Jing put the basket on the ground lightly, and sat down next to him.

Lin Xueqing brought tea, poured a cup for Ning Jing and Lin Shuzhi each, sat down in the room, looked at Ning Jing and said, "Senior brother Ning, you don't know how much dad is worried about you! Always let my elder brother and second brother pay attention to you It's falling!"

Lin Shuzhi won the first place in Sanyuan, and his essays in the palace examination were brilliant, and was praised by the first emperor of Qianguo as a talent from heaven.

At that time, he thought that he had a bright future, but who knew that he had only been an official in the capital for three days before resigning and returning to his hometown, where he founded the Qianshan Academy in Pingbei City.

In the past, the climate in the northern part of the country was harsh and the land was barren, and the number and quality of scholars were far inferior to the rich southern region.

This academy trained many impoverished students in the northern part of Qianguo, and sent many talents to the imperial court.

Among them, the most commendable ones are the twin sons of Lin Shuzhi.

The eldest son Lin Boyan and the second son Lin Bojun won the Wen Zhuangyuan and Wu Zhuangyuan respectively in the same year, which has become a good story.Now a civil official and a general have a bright future.

Lin Shuzhi's wife died of illness many years ago, and his youngest daughter, Lin Xueqing, accompanied him in Qianshan Academy.Many scholars who want to worship under Lin Shuzhi's school are not only looking at his talent and learning, but also want to form a fellowship with his son and disciples and seek a good future.

However, Lin Shuzhi has taught at Qianshan Academy for many years, and has never accepted any apprentices, nor has he ever recommended anyone from the officialdom to any of the students of the academy.

And Lin Shuzhi secretly accepted his apprentice, but it was unknown.

Seeing that Ning Jing was still silent, Lin Xueqing sighed, "Senior brother Ning, don't think too much about the past. You wanted to take the scientific examination three years ago because your aunt was seriously ill and missed it. It's not too late now. I know you You never want to be a wealthy businessman, you want to be like my father, prove yourself by winning the first prize in the exam, and then leave in style to live the life you want. Your wish will come true soon!"

Ning Jing finally spoke, and only said two words, "Thank you."

Lin Xueqing frowned and looked at Lin Shuzhi, Lin Shuzhi shook her head, "It's fine if you don't want to mention the past. You will have a good rest today for the exam tomorrow. After the exam is over in three days, I will talk to you in detail as a teacher."

Lin Xueqing immediately said, "Father, let Jing...Senior brother Ning live in the academy! He is outside alone, what if he is harmed by those black-hearted people from the Ning family?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Shuzhi looked serious, looked at Ning Jing and asked, "If you want, you can stay here and let someone arrange for your teacher. You already have the name of the case leader in Bei'an County, and the academy has your place. If you don't If you are willing, you will not force yourself to be a teacher."

Ning Jing nodded, and Lin Xueqing was overjoyed, "Brother Ning, let's stay in Big Brother's original courtyard!"

But Ning Jing stood up and bowed to Lin Shuzhi, "Thank you, Master, for your concern. I have something to do today, so I'll take my leave first."

Lin Xueqing was stunned, "Senior Brother Ning, you..."

Ning Jing had already picked up the pannier on the ground, put it on his back, turned around and walked out.

"Senior brother Ning!" Lin Xueqing wanted to chase, but was stopped by Lin Shuzhi.

The father and daughter stood at the door, looking at the back of Ping An leaving.

Lin Xueqing was puzzled, "Father, Senior Brother Ning has no relatives now. You have been inquiring about him before, and he has come. Why don't you let him stay? He must be very lonely by himself, and he has no one to take care of him."

Lin Shuzhi shook his head, "Didn't you hear that he took the test in Bei'an County with the badge of Prince of Beijing? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see him today."

Lin Xueqing shook her head, "Brother Ning is arrogant, I don't believe that he would go after the rich and powerful for the sake of his future, there must be a reason we don't know about the name of the prince of Beijing. There are a lot of messy rumors in the academy, let me hear who messed up Tell me, get out!"

Lin Shuzhi looked displeased, "I am the dean, or are you the dean?"

Lin Xueqing hugged Lin Shuzhi's arm and shook it, "Father!"

"He is not the peace he used to be." Lin Shuzhi looked at the direction where peace left, and sighed again.

"He was a little indifferent today, but Dad shouldn't be angry because of this, right?" Lin Xueqing asked.

Lin Shuzhi shook his head, "I'm not angry, it's just that I suddenly can't see through that kid, and I don't know what he wants to do."

"Of course it is the number one scholar. After passing the exam, I will not become an official and travel all over the world. This is what Brother Ning told me. I also begged him to take me with me when the time comes, but he refused, saying that if he took me away, Father and elder brother knew that they would definitely beat him. It's a pity that I'm a woman and can't participate in the Wenju, otherwise I will definitely compete with Senior Brother Ning!" Lin Xueqing felt a little regretful.

Lin Shuzhi smiled and teased his daughter, "You can take part in the martial arts, father will not stop you."

Lin Xueqing curled her lips, "I'm not the second brother, I'm as strong as a cow."

Seeing Lin Shuzhi go back to read, Lin Xueqing mentioned Ning Jing again, "At least we should know where Brother Ning lives, right? What if he disappears after the exam!"

"He has grown up, let him go. If he needs our help, he will speak up." Lin Shuzhi shook his head.

Lin Xueqing also shook her head, "He clearly doesn't want to talk to me, he even forgot the gift he promised me, although it's nothing important."

Lin Shuzhi was reading a book, and Lin Xueqing said that she would go to the capital to find her elder brother in the new year, and when Ping An won the first prize, she would be able to see him parading around on horseback.

After a while, someone rushed in, "Dean, it's not good!"

"What happened?" Lin Xueqing hurriedly got up and went out to ask.

"That Mr. Ning! Someone from Xunyang Ning's family came to him, saying that his father was critically ill, begging him to go home and see him for the last time! A group of people knelt at the gate of the academy and refused to get up!" The visitor said loudly.

Lin Xueqing frowned, Lin Shuzhi closed the book in his hand and stood up, walked out with a sullen face, "Go and report to the government, someone has come to the academy to provoke trouble!"

The visitor left in a hurry.

"Father, the Ning family is too hateful. Isn't this kidnapping Senior Brother Ning? He's going to take the exam tomorrow, and forcing him to go back now is clearly intentional! He's making a scene in public. If he doesn't return to Xunyang City, he will fall into trouble." Such an unfilial name, even if he passes the exam in the future, he will be criticized by others! The people of the Ning family are really vicious!" Lin Xueqing looked annoyed.

Lin Shuzhi walked to the gate of the courtyard and stopped, "We can't interfere with this matter, he can only handle it by himself."

"What can he do? Father, you must help Brother Ning, he has suffered enough!" Lin Xueqing said.

Lin Shuzhi sighed, "Being forced to this point, he always has to make a statement, otherwise the Ning family won't let it go. It would have been nice if your second brother was here, but today he can let him beat people up."

……

Many people gathered at the gate of Qianshan Academy.

Kneeling on the ground were two old men, two middle-aged men, and two young men, all of whom claimed to be from Xunyang Ning's family to find their seventh son.

The oldest old man was crying, "Seventh Young Master, when I kicked you out of the house, I had no choice but to protect you! My Master is seriously ill and has been suffering all this time. I want to see Seventh Young Master again, but Seventh Young Master will not go back." , the master can’t close his eyes when he’s gone!”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, all accusing Ning Jing of being unfilial.

Ning Jing was carrying a backpack and was surrounded by people. He felt that the inside of the backpack was moving, and knowing that the little guy was about to come out, he said in full view, "You guys were sent by Ning Yao, right?" I just received a letter from my family earlier, and my father said that he is in good health, and his biggest wish is to hope that I can honor my ancestors, let me not be distracted, and be careful of Ning Yao secretly harming me. Ning Yao hijacked his father, controlled the Ning family, People assassinated me, and now you are sending you to cut off my future, what a good way!"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar!

The Ning family members who were kneeling on the ground were stunned.

After speaking peacefully, he bypassed them, passed through the crowd, and walked away.

In the deserted mountain forest, he put down the pannier, opened the lid, and saw Zheng'er looking at him with tears in his eyes, stretching out his little hand, "Uncle..."

"I'm sorry." Ning Jing carried Zheng'er out, patted him on the back, and coaxed him for a while, then Zheng'er put his arms around his neck and did not let go, unwilling to go back into the basket again.

Ning Jing was about to go down the mountain with Zheng'er in his arms, when suddenly his eyes froze.

A black shadow flashed past, and two masked men with knives blocked the way, "Hand over that child!"

A trace of impatience flashed in Ning Jing's eyes, he pressed Zheng'er's head in his arms, and said two words in a cold voice, "Looking for death."
