The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 826

In the next two days, Su Yunduo first went back to Dongmingfang to say goodbye. First, he said goodbye to Mrs. Lu and Ning Shi in advance; They went to Boni City but failed to get Su Zechen.

When I came out of Dongmingfang, I saw that it was still early, so I made a special trip to Huayang Street to visit my grandparents.

When Lu Jinkang went to the northern city last year, Ning Zhongping went with him and participated in the operation of crossing the Boni Mountains and going deep into the enemy's rear.

The Holy Majesty was rewarded according to merit, and Ning Zhongping was also promoted to an official position, and he took a big step forward, and now he is a fifth-rank official.

Although it is true that a military officer of the fifth rank is really nothing if you bump into a third-rank or fourth-rank official on the streets of the capital, but for a family with a starting point like the Ning family, it is enough for them to be overjoyed.

Just imagine that Ning Zhongping was just an escort of the Weiwu Escort Bureau in Xiushui County five years ago, and the Ning family only opened a small grocery store in Heishui Town, Xiushui County, and their lives were only slightly better than other families, so they would not go hungry Just be frozen.

Ning Zhongping accidentally rescued a mother and son by walking the darts, but he didn't expect to have a relationship with the prosperous Zhen Guogong's mansion.

It was because of Ning Zhongping's unintentional rescue this time, and with the opportunity of Su Chengzhi's family to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, the Ning family was able to enter Beijing, and Ning Zhongping also had the opportunity to enter the officialdom and rise step by step.

All these seem to be in the dark, but there are also causes and effects. In addition to good people getting good rewards, it is also inseparable from Ning Zhongping's own efforts.

It's just that the Ning family doesn't have much background. Although the business of the Ning family is getting bigger and better, and their life is getting better, but in the capital of Nuoda, they are just a little rich at best, and it is far from being expensive.

Ning Zhongping knew very well in his heart that he was able to advance so quickly, with his own efforts, but he couldn't do without the support of the Duke of Zhenguo. If he wanted to go further, he needed more military achievements.

The fastest and most direct way to make military achievements is to go to the battlefield, but since Dongling Kingdom defeated Beichen Kingdom and Beichen Kingdom had to negotiate peace with Dongling Kingdom, even the Cambodian Eagle Kingdom, which was about to move, also died down.

Ning Zhongping was moved when he learned that the Holy Lord intended to send Lu Jinkang to Boni City.

Although Lu Jinkang went to Boni City only to improve the defense of Boni City, and it was not easy to make military achievements, but he knew that this was still an opportunity, so he specifically proposed to Lu Jinkang to follow him to Boni City.

Lu Jinkang knows better than anyone what the Ning family needs most, and at the same time, he also knows Su Yunduo's feelings for the Ning family and Ning Zhongping. Even if Ning Zhongping doesn't speak up, he will not let go of this opportunity to raise Ning Zhongping.

Now that Ning Zhongping had spoken, when Lu Jinkang was selecting the accompanying officials, the first person he picked was Ning Zhongping.

Although after countless recuperations, Shen's body has made great progress, and she is still much weaker than ordinary people. In addition, Ning Huazhen has already enlightened, and the family really cannot leave her, so Shen and Ning Huazhen will not go with her .

On the contrary, Ning Huayou, the youngest son of the eldest son of the Ning family, learned that Ning Zhongping was about to go to Boni City, so he wholeheartedly wanted to go with them.

Ning Huayou was the same age as Su Zexuan, and was the only scholar in the Ning family except Ning Huazhen who had just started his education.

Because the Ning family opened a grocery store in Heishui Town and had Ning Zhongping's traveling bodyguards to suppress their hard-earned money, their family background is not bad. The three brothers of Ning Hua'an were all sent to study, but it's a pity that the two brothers above went to private schools. Reading is more like learning martial arts with Ning Zhongping, only Ning Hua has shown his love for reading, and he is also very talented.

At that time, Ning Zhongping and the Shen family had no children of their own, and the elders in the family discussed that if Ning Zhongping was still childless at forty, they planned to adopt Ning Huayou to Ning Zhongping as his heir.

Although Ning Zhongping and Shen Shi would rather have their own child, and now they do have their own son, but the couple have always had different feelings for Ning Hua.

When the Ning family arrived in the capital, the time was not coincidental. After the admission time for the schools and colleges in the capital, Ning Zhongping inquired everywhere, and finally found a good private school for Ning Huayou, so that Ning Huayou would not drop out of school.

In the spring of the next year, Ning Huayou became a new student of the Su Clan School, and he was very popular with the gentlemen.

A few years later, Su Zexuan, who has become a member of the capital city, has passed the talent test and is already a young talent, but Ning Huayou has never even played a game. This makes Ning Huayou very depressed, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Because the Ning family's ancestral home was in Xiushui County, Yanshan Prefecture, according to the imperial examination system, if Ning Hua wanted to take the imperial examination, he had to start from the county examination in Xiushui County and move towards the capital examination step by step.

Ning Huayou is the youngest child of the Ning family. Although 15 years old is not too young in this era when people can get married, but if he were to go back to Xiushui County alone to take the exam, the Ning family from top to bottom would not be so young. No one can rest assured.

Seeing that Su Zexuan, who was about the same age as him, was already a young scholar, but he never even had the chance to try it out, Ning Hua naturally had various emotions in his heart.

Now it is the beginning of June, and the county, government, and hospital exams have ended this year. Ning Hua may miss the chance to end again. He sets his goal for next year, but his family is always worried that he will go back to Yanshan Mansion alone. The matter of going back to Yanshan Mansion to take the exam next year is still undecided.

Now that he suddenly had such an opportunity, he naturally refused to give it up, but Ning Huayou didn't tell his family clearly, he only said that he wanted to take this opportunity to go outside to gain knowledge.

In short, Ning Hua wanted to follow Ning Zhongping to Boni City, which was called a study tour, but in fact, the goal was to participate in the county, government and hospital examinations next year.

The elders of Ning's family even expressed their opposition to Ning Zhongping's going to Boni City, and they were very entangled in their hearts. They naturally dissuaded Ning Hua from going to Boni City with a young student, and firmly opposed it.

The old couple of the Ning family were really a little scared by last year's war. Although Ning Zhongping came back safely in the end, only suffered some not-so-serious injuries and made a lot of military achievements and was promoted, but they are older and more I hope the whole family stays together.

What's more, Ning Zhongping is now a fifth-rank official. From their point of view, his ancestors have accumulated virtue and their ancestral graves are smoking. No matter how ignorant they are, they know that it will definitely not be easy for Ning Zhongping to go up. Zhongping risked his life to gain a better future.

Although after Ning Zhongping's many explanations, the two old people nodded helplessly, but there were many disagreements that Ning Hua had to follow him to Boni City.

Su Yunduo came to see them, and the two old men took Su Yunduo's hand each. Reluctant to part with Su Yunduo was one of the emotions, but more of it was chattering about their insistence on Ning Zhongping and Ning Hua going to Bobo. All kinds of dissatisfaction and incomprehension in Nicheng.

This made Su Yunduo especially thankful that he did not agree with Ning Huaan to follow him to Boni City.

Ever since the matter of Kangyun Ranch became public, Ning Huaan applied to Su Yunduo for transfer to Kangyun Ranch more than once, but Su Yunduo ruthlessly rejected them all.

It's not that the ranch doesn't need Ning Hua'an, but that Su Yunduo knows that the old couple of the Ning family are getting older, and they want their family to be reunited more than making money to seek a future.

Besides, one more Ning Hua'an in the ranch is not much, and one less Ning Hua'an will not cause any problems, but it is different in Yangjiaji.

Ever since Lu Jinkang transferred Ning Zhongping back to the imperial guards in the capital, Ning Hua'an has become Su Yunduo's right-hand man. Yang Jiaji needs someone like Ning Hua'an to watch over her.

That is to say, rather than letting Ning Huaan go to Kangyun Ranch, keeping Ning Huaan in Yangjiaji will give full play to his role. At the same time, it can also satisfy the wishes of the old couple of the Ning family. After all, it is only two carriages from Yangjiaji to the capital. Hours, if you hurry up, you can reach it in half an hour.

For Ning Zhongping to follow them to Boni City, at the beginning, Su Yunduo was also a little hesitant. She knew very well that it was impossible for Shen Shi and Ning Huazhen to follow them to Boni City. A sense of guilt for breaking up a loving couple.

After she had a private conversation with Ning Zhongping, she finally agreed that Ning Zhongping would accompany her.

Even if Ning Zhongping has no intention of continuing to climb up, Ning Zhongping still needs to continue to accumulate military achievements if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom.

Although Dongling Kingdom and Beichen Kingdom have negotiated peace, there will be no wars on the border, and the chance of accumulating military merit is not great, but it does not mean that there is no chance at all. After all, there are more opportunities to accumulate military merit on the border than staying in the capital.

More importantly, Su Yunduo needs Ning Zhongping to guard his ranch.

Su Yunduo himself has no experience in running a ranch. Although Ning Zhongping has no experience in running a ranch either, he has more than 20 years of experience in traveling all over the world, so he is very knowledgeable. According to Su Yunduo, the bridge Ning Zhongping walked Even though Ning Zhongping and Lu Jinkang have their own missions to go to Boni City, they can't help her much, and they can't be by her side all the time, but as soon as they think of Ning Zhong Both Pinghe and Lu Jinkang are not far away from him, so Su Yunduo can feel much more at ease with his uneasy heart.

However, grandma and grandpa are old, and what should be appeased must be appeased. The old man can't always worry about their juniors who are away.

Grandma Ning's body is fairly strong, but Grandpa Ning's is not doing well. In the past two years, his body has become more and more useless, and he always suffers from several illnesses in a year.

Fortunately, there is a grandson Su Zechen whose medical skills are getting better and better every now and then, and there is a Confucian family medical clinic. Every time someone in the Ning family gets sick, he will come here at the first time. Can save the day.

"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, we won't go to Boni City for too long this time, and we will be able to return to Beijing after my husband and uncle complete the defense of Boni City." Su Yunduo first let the two old people talk happily , and then opened his mouth to appease.

"Your uncle also said the same thing, and told us that there is no risk at all. But Naboni City was originally the city of Beichen barbarians, and the people living there are all barbarians. Is there really no risk?" Grandpa Ning looked at Su Yunduo with strong eyes. deep worry.

Su Yunduo paused slightly in his heart. What Grandpa Ning said was true. Since Boni City was acquired by Dongling Kingdom, there have been countless fights and even assassinations against officials in the city. Lu Da and Lu Jinzhen The brothers have all been assassinated before, and even though there were no dangers every time, and they have gone through several cleanings, Boni City, which has been the territory of Dongling for more than half a year, is still not safe.

This is also an important reason why Lu Mingyang and An's insisted on resolutely opposing bringing Brother Huan, and it was also an important reason why Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo finally decided to take a step back.

It's just that these things can't be told to the old couple of the Ning family, otherwise how can they live in peace?

"Grandpa and grandma are relieved! Boni City has become our Dongling's territory, and the residents in the city are our Dongling's citizens, so naturally they have to abide by our Dongling's rules, not to mention our Dongling's already in the city. Official office, this time when we go there, the Holy Majesty even asked my husband to bring a team of troops, my uncle is now a fifth-rank official, and he is accompanied by four guards, all of whom are no weaker than my uncle, and will definitely be able to protect my uncle." Su Yunduo was only slightly taken aback by Grandpa Ning's worried eyes, and then said with a smile in the blink of an eye.

Su Yunduo's words were not false. When going to Boni City, the Holy Majesty did ask Lu Jinkang to pick a team from the imperial army, and Ning Zhongping did have four more personal guards. These four guards were Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping. Those who went to the dark guard camp to pick them out in person may not be as good as Lu Jinkang, but they can definitely compete with Ning Zhongping.

These four guards went in and out with Ning Zhongping almost every day. Naturally, Ning Zhongping deliberately brought them to show off his presence in front of everyone in the Ning family in order to reassure the old man.

"But, your uncle actually agreed to take you brother with you! If he is a scholar, he can't stay in the school to study, what can he do in Boni City?" This time it was grandma who frowned, hearing this tone Su Yunduo knew the Ning family So far, Ning Hua has not agreed to let Ning Hua have a colleague.

This time Su Yunduo laughed out loud: "Grandma, don't say that. Scholars can't just sit in the classroom and study hard. The sages have said: Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. If you don't have to wait for the results of the college exam , Brother Chen is afraid that he wants to go with us!"

That's right, Su Zechen, who was just 13 years old and obsessed with studying medicine, consciously proposed to give it a try this year. As a result, he won the first place in both the county examination and the government examination. He is waiting for the results of the government examination. "Little Sanyuan", let him go to Boni City with Su Yunduo and the others.

He never expected that good things will last forever. This year, the Xiucai Academy in the capital went wrong. It has been nearly half a month since the exam was completed, but the results of the exam have not yet been announced. Su Zechen's dream of going to Boni City with him was shattered.

Speaking of this, I remembered Su Zechen's bitter face when I went to Dongmingfang yesterday. Su Yunduo couldn't help but smiled again, took a sip of the herbal tea that her aunt just needed, and continued to smile and said: "Cousin insists on Going with us must have his own ideas. In my opinion, besides wanting to gain experience with him, he must plan to try next year. Don't worry, I will personally accompany my cousin back to Yanshan Mansion to take the exam as a token of appreciation. Brother's knowledge, a scholar should not be able to escape, you just wait for the good news in the capital!"
