Chapter 80 080. What happened to Senior Brother Ning? (one more)
Qianshan Academy.

Lin Xueqing looked at the door for the nth time, "Why isn't Senior Brother Ning coming? He must have left Pingbei City, right?"

"The list will be released in five days." Lin Shuzhi thought that Ning Jing would not leave for the time being.

"But we don't know where he lives. If he doesn't come, we won't be able to find him." Lin Xueqing frowned.

Lin Shuzhi shook his head, "Then I won't look for it."

"Father, you clearly agreed to invite Senior Brother Ning to live in the academy!" Lin Xueqing said.

Lin Shuzhi sighed softly, "I have already invited him, but whether he comes or not is not up to you or me."

Lin Xueqing held her face, looked out the window, and said nothing.

……

Su Liang was wearing men's clothes, and walked beside Tranquility, because of the difference in height, he looked like a son with a young attendant.

On the way up the mountain, the two met many scholars walking down the mountain together.

The rankings will be released in five days, and Qianshan Academy will be closed for the next few days.

I also met those two scholars from Bei'an County, who showed Ning Jing the way last time.

They came to say hello when they saw Ning Jing, and one of them glanced at Su Liang several times, his expression seemed a little puzzled.

They asked Ning Jing whether he would go to college to study after the results were released, and Ning Jing said that he had not yet decided.

"If we pass the exam, we will stay here and go to Beijing to catch the exam after the new year. If we fail the exam, we will return to our hometown." A scholar said.

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "I hope there will be a good result."

The two had discovered early on that although Ning Ping was aloof, he was not arrogant. They also tried to refute rumors for him at Qianshan Academy, but unfortunately no one listened.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, they separated.

One of them turned his head frequently, "I seem to have seen that little brother next to Mr. Ning."

"I haven't seen it, his entourage." Another said.

The one who spoke first suddenly slapped his head, "I remember! Isn't that Mr. Ning's righteous sister? It's that Miss Su!"

When the two turned their heads again, Ning Jing and Su Liang had already turned the corner and were out of sight.

Su Liang is also talking about them.

"The one who was at the top of the case with you at that time, why wasn't he with them?" Su Liang asked.Only three scholars from my hometown came to Qianshan Academy to study, and it is said that they will take care of each other.

Ning Jing shook his head, "I don't know."

Su Liang also asked casually, and then forgot about it.

The two went to the gate of Qianshan Academy, and when the gatekeeper heard that it was safe, he immediately let them in.

Su Liang walked all the way, looked at this quaint academy, and heard someone reading aloud.

There were three tall cypress trees outside Lin Shuzhi's yard. Su Liang heard the crow calling, but didn't find which tree it was on. He looked away and followed Ning Jing into the door.

"Senior Brother Ning!"

Su Liang heard the sound and looked, and saw a blue shadow flash by the window, and a bright and charming girl ran out of the door, with a light blue long skirt fluttering in the wind.

This person should be Lin Xueqing who called Ning Jing "Brother Jing" and changed her name to "Senior Brother Ning".

Lin Xueqing wanted to pull Ning Jing back, she stretched out her hand and then retracted it, smiling sweetly, "I knew it, Dad already spoke, why didn't Senior Brother Ning come?"

After saying that, Lin Xueqing's eyes fell on Su Liang.

Perhaps because of Su Liang's clothes and the fact that she was not standing behind Ning Ning, Lin Xueqing did not regard her as Ning Ning's servant, so she asked curiously, "Is this young master a friend of Senior Brother Ning?"

Su Liang nodded slightly, "Miss Lin."

When Lin Xueqing heard that it was a female voice, she looked surprised, "You are very handsome in men's clothing, I didn't realize it. I was wearing men's clothing before, and my elder brother and second brother said that I could tell it was a woman at a glance."

Su Liang looked stern, and bowed his hands in salute, "Xiaosheng is being polite here."

Lin Xueqing returned a blessing, her eyes sparkling, "Young master is really good-looking."

After saying that, he took Su Liang's hand, leaned into her ear, and asked softly, "I guess, you must be Brother Ning's confidante!"

Ning Jing next to him: ...

Su Liang: ...Come on, it's confirmed as soon as you enter the door. This Ms. Lin is not a man and a woman for the real Ning Jing. What's the matter with the look of "my brother actually brought his sister-in-law home, so surprised"?

Before saying that, Su Liang thought that Ning Jing asked her to come because she was worried that Lin Xueqing liked Zhen Ning, and in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she wanted to pretend to be a couple with Su Liang.

In the end, it was completely unnecessary.

Lin Xueqing looked at Su Liang expectantly, with eyes full of "admit it, I'll be waiting to call you sister-in-law".

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Don't get me wrong, we are sworn brothers and sisters."

Lin Xueqing was stunned for a moment, "Brother and sister? Is your name Su Liang?"

Su Liang nodded.

Lin Xueqing looked serious, "I inquired about Senior Brother Ning with a scholar from Bei'an County, and learned that he once pretended to be married to a girl surnamed Su in order to save her, and then clarified the relationship. I was still thinking about what kind of girl it would be , I didn't expect you to come to Pingbei City with Senior Brother Ning. Miss Su, do you not like Senior Brother Ning?"

Su Liang raised her eyebrows, "Why do you ask that? Maybe he doesn't like me?"

"No way! Senior Brother Ning said that if he doesn't like a girl, he won't even bother to talk about it." Lin Xueqing said sternly, then curled her lips, "You don't even know that Senior Brother Ning came here a few days ago. He didn't even want to talk to me. But he brought you by his side, so he must like you!"

Su Liang suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart.Lin Xueqing may think that Zhen Ning only treats her as a younger sister, but when Zhen Ning said that to her, would she wait for Lin Xueqing to reach Ji, and then tell her: Except for her, other girls are lazy? Reasonable...

Seeing that Su Liang didn't speak, Lin Xueqing acquiesced that she had guessed right, and she held Su Liang's arm and said, "Senior Brother Ning is taciturn and a bit bored now, which was not the case before. He has encountered too many things in the past few years, and he is not in a good mood. Great, you don't mind."

Su Liang quickly explained, "You really misunderstood. In fact, we are just friends. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. I don't have any family anymore, and neither does he, so we become brothers and sisters and take care of each other."

Lin Xueqing frowned, looked at Ning Jing, "Senior Brother Ning, is that so?"

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "Yes."

Lin Xueqing was still skeptical, so she heard Lin Shuzhi's voice from the room, "Xueqing, why don't you invite guests in?"

"Oh." Lin Xueqing pulled Su Liang forward, and laughed again, "Even if you are just friends and brothers and sisters, I am very happy. I have been worried that Senior Brother Ning is too lonely alone. You don't know, there was no Senior Brother Ning before. News, my father is actually worried that he will commit suicide! How is that possible?"

Su Liang sighed in his heart: Lin Shuzhi really understands Zhenping very well.And it is definitely impossible for Zhen Ning to show a weak side in front of Lin Xueqing.Therefore, the "Senior Brother Ning" in this little junior sister's memory is not the same as the disciple in Lin Shuzhi's eyes.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Shuzhi's eyes fell on Su Liang with a faint scrutiny.

Su Liang saluted and called him "Dean Lin".

"Since you are Ning Jing's younger sister, let him call me Master." Lin Shuzhi saw Su Liang's clear eyes and calm and generous demeanor, knowing that this girl must not be simple.

Su Liang called "Master" and asked with a smile, "If I want to study in Qianshan Academy, can I make an exception?"

Lin Shuzhi nodded, "As long as you come, I will teach myself."

Lin Xueqing smiled and pulled Su Liang to sit down, "Father, you are clearly using Miss Su to keep Senior Brother Ning, right?"

The corners of Lin Shuzhi's mouth twitched slightly, "Xueqing, can you stop dismantling your father's platform?"

The conversation between father and daughter not only let Su Liang see their intimate and harmonious relationship, but also showed that they are both open-minded people.

"Father thinks that elder brother is bored and second elder brother is reckless, and now he dislikes me for talking too much." Lin Xueqing pretended to be sad, "I will go with Senior Brother Ning and Sister Su, so we are three brothers and sisters."

At the end of the speech, he asked Su Liang's age, and when he learned that he was younger than her, he changed his name to "Sister Su".

"Su Liang came to the academy for the first time, Xueqing, take her out for a walk." Lin Shuzhi said.

Lin Xueqing understood that she wanted to send them away and talk to Ning Jing alone, so she asked Su Liang if she wanted to go.

Su Liang nodded, and the two left hand in hand.

Lin Shuzhi watched their backs disappear at the door, looked at Ning Jing and asked, "Are you and that Miss Su Liang really just friends?"

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Then, what do you do to Xueqing?" Lin Shuzhi asked this question bluntly.

After a moment of silence, Ning Jing said, "I am in trouble, and I don't want to harm her."

Lin Shuzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell silent.

As a father and master, of course he knew that Zhenping liked Lin Xueqing.The main reason for Zhenping's persistence in taking the imperial examination is that Lin Xueqing once said that what she admired most was her father.Therefore, Ning Jing wanted to emulate Lin Shuzhi.

In that hasty farewell, Zhen Ning told Lin Shuzhi that he would come back after he settled the affairs of the family. He didn't want to inherit the Ning family business, and would hand it over to his most trusted elder brother, Ning Yao. After taking the imperial examination, he would propose marriage to the Lin family. , Lin Shuzhi must not marry Lin Xueqing to someone else.

At that time, Lin Shuzhi felt that Zhen Ning's thinking was too simple.The affairs of the Ning family were not that simple. His existence made his half-brothers' identities very embarrassing, and there was a great conflict of interest.

Lin Shuzhi reminded Zhen Ning earnestly not to trust people too easily, and even bluntly said that Ning Yao may not be trustworthy.

But at that time, Zhen Ning was anxious to go home on the one hand, and on the other hand, he never doubted his elder brother who loved him so much since he was a child, so he didn't listen at all.

Ning Jing said to Su Liang, "Lin Shuzhi doesn't want his only daughter to marry Ning Jing", which is not true.

Lin Shuzhi asked Lin Xueqing to change his name to senior brother that day, just because he didn't know if the apprentice who hadn't shown up for a long time had changed, and what plans he had for the future.

If Ning Jing wants to go back to Xunyang City to fight for the family property, Lin Shuzhi will support him, but he will not nod and marry his daughter to him until all the dust is settled.Because he didn't want his daughter to be in danger.

Lin Shuzhi cared about Tranquility and helped Tranquility out of the friendship between master and apprentice.

His reluctance to marry Lin Xueqing to Ning Jing was due to his parents' heart.

Now face to face, Ning Jing's words did not deny that "he" once liked Lin Xueqing, but also stated that in the future they will only be brothers and sisters.He will not give up his hatred for Lin Xueqing.

If Ning Jing denies it, saying that she has always only regarded Lin Xueqing as her younger sister, Lin Shuzhi will immediately find out that there is something wrong with this apprentice...

Ning Jing can't reveal his true identity, so as not to bring big troubles to the Lin family.

Qie Zhenping said in his suicide note that he hoped that those who cared about him would think that he was still alive and had just gone to a distant place.

Lin Shuzhi sighed, "It seems that you are going back to Ning's house."

Ning Jing shook his head and said calmly, "There is nothing to return to that smoky place. I just want it to disappear."

Lin Shuzhi's eyes narrowed, "After you left that day, two male corpses were found near the academy, did you know about that?"

Ning Jing nodded and acknowledged, "I did it."

Lin Shuzhi's expression finally changed, "Why? Is that the person Ning Yao sent to kill you?"

"No. It's another enemy who really wants to kill me." Ning Jing said.

Lin Shuzhi remained silent for a long time, finally sighed, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, as a teacher, I should be gratified. Now that you have the ability to protect yourself, you are no longer so soft-hearted. There are so many people who want to harm you. Only in this way can you survive. There's nothing wrong with being ruthless. It's just that I don't know what you've been through in the past few years. It's been hard, right? If you want to talk, I can have a drink with you."

"It's all over." Ning Jing shook his head slightly, "Master, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Really?" Lin Shuzhi sighed repeatedly, lowered his eyes to serve the tea, "You don't seem to be doing anything wrong, but you can't laugh anymore."

After another period of silence, Lin Shuzhi got up, "The tree you and Boyan Bojun planted in the back mountain has grown up, go and have a look."

Ning Jing stood up and followed Lin Shuzhi out.

As soon as he left the door, Lin Shuzhi stopped suddenly, and turned to ask him, "The last time you came, what was in the pannier you were carrying? I saw it move, it seemed to be alive."

Ning Jing answered truthfully, "A child."

Lin Shuzhi's forehead twitched, "You... swear to Master right now that you won't do anything harmful!"

Ning Jing raised his hand and made an oath, and then explained to Lin Shuzhi that he and Su Liang met the thief on the way to Pingbei City and rescued the child. The child's parents have been found and taken away.

Lin Shuzhi raised his forehead, "Why did you hide it? What if the child is bored?"

Ning Jing said calmly, "Well, it's my fault."

Lin Shuzhi: ... What's the use of being so good at admitting mistakes?A dead look that will not change next time!

……

The scenery behind Qianshan Academy is extremely beautiful.

Lin Xueqing took Su Liang to visit the interior of the academy, and also came here.

"Sister Su, why don't you like Senior Brother Ning? Do you think he's not good-looking? Or is he too bored? I still think he must like you, but because you don't like him, you dare not say it out for fear of being caught You can't even be friends if you refuse." Lin Xueqing analyzed seriously.

In order to end this topic that Lin Xueqing has been struggling with, Su Liang said, "Actually, I like him, but he rejected me."

Lin Xueqing's almond eyes widened, "Ah? Is that so? What's the matter with Senior Brother Ning?"
