Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 20 About Him
When Ning Yong returned home, Chunliu was holding a torch and lighting a lamp at the entrance of the yard.

Seeing Ning Yong's return, her little face suddenly burst into surprise: "Mr. Erlang is back, can Mr. Erlang have dinner?"

Although he ate a few pieces of exquisite snacks when he was in Zhao's house, the young and vigorous man left Zhao's house and studied in Chunguang Pavilion for an hour, so he was already hungry.

He nodded slightly: "I haven't used it, you go and order a bowl of noodles."

Mr. Erlang wanted to eat, Chunliu happily covered the lantern cover, turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "Mr. Erlang, wait a moment."

Ning Yong didn't go back to his study either, but sat down on the little tree under the eaves.

In order to save money, the lights under the eaves were always dim, and the two of them didn't speak. If they didn't pay attention, they wouldn't realize that there were people under the eaves.Two small figures giggled and came in from outside the courtyard.

When they got to Ning Yong's side, one of them suddenly saw Ning Yong sitting under the eaves.

He jumped, took a step back, and almost fell to the ground.

The person behind was about to laugh, when he saw Ning Yong, he was too frightened to move.

Ning Yong looked at them indifferently, unable to see clearly the emotions and anger on his face half hidden in the darkness.

The two came back to their senses and stammered: "Second, Second Brother."

Ning Yong watched the two standing timidly, neither responding nor speaking.

The two became even more frightened.

Suddenly, a violent cough came from the east wing, and then stopped with difficulty.

Ning Yongcai said calmly: "Can we have dinner?"

The two stammered: "Back, back to second brother, it's been used."

Ning Yong said coldly, "Don't come back so late next time."

"Yes, yes." The two replied in a panic, and rushed into the east wing in a panic.Not long after, a child's joyful laughter came from the east wing.

Ning Yong was noncommittal.

In the east wing, a man with a thin face and pale complexion was half lying on the thick quilt, and his body was also covered with a thick quilt.

He smiled, watching the two younger brothers in front of him playing with his medicine jar without being annoyed.

The two boys in front of them were about seven or eight years old. They were tiger-headed and tiger-headed, and their half-worn clothes were covered with mud.

These two boys are the twins Ning Xu and Ning Wen of the Ning family.

Ning Xu and Ning Wen, perhaps because they are twins, Ning Yong's aunt dotes on her very much.All day at home, he made chickens and dogs restless, and when he went out, he either bullied other people's children, or pulled other people's flowers and plants, and smashed other people's water tanks.After such a few times, he was actually approached by others and said several times angrily, asking Ning Yong's aunt Zhou to discipline him.Biansheng Zhou didn't take it seriously at all, and only said: "It's just two children, what bad things can they do? Besides, the children in their family don't tear flowers and plants? Don't they smash the water tank?"

Ning Yong naturally disagreed with Zhou's idea.

What kind of neighbors live around here, A Niang is confused, but he is very sober.It is strange that Dad has become worse and worse in the past few years, it is probably because Auntie is holding back at home!

And he is about to take the palace examination, if he passes the palace examination, he will be released from office.

He doesn't want any stumbling blocks in his official career.

But once again, a neighbor came to the door and told Ning Xu and Ning Wen again.Ning Yong remained calm, and only asked Zhou Quan to hang the two of them under the eaves. He personally took the ruler and beat them hard, and Ning Yong was afraid of Ning Yong from then on.

The most promising son in the family, Ning Yong, beat the twins, but Zhou didn't dare to say anything. He restrained Ning Xu and Ning Wen on the surface, and doted on them even more secretly.

Like Zhou's, Ning Yong's elder brother Ning Feng also dotes on his twin younger brother.It was probably because he had been bedridden for many years and could not go outside, but his younger brothers always liked to chatter about new things outside in front of him, which brought him short-term pleasure.

After Chunliu finished cooking the noodles, she didn't realize until she brought them out to Ning Yong: "Where's Zhou Quan?"

Ning Yong took the face, but did not answer.

The master didn't answer, so Chunliu could only stand aside awkwardly, looking at Ning Yong with admiration.

Ning Yong is the prettiest person in the Ning family, and he is also good at studying.She naturally likes Ning Yong.But Ning Yong has always been indifferent and reserved, even though she expressed it several times in front of him, Ning Yong remained indifferent.

But as long as Erlang doesn't marry a wife for a day, she will have a chance.

Even if Erlang married his wife, she still had a chance.

Ning Yong ate the noodles gracefully.

His fingers were slender and fair, and his joints were even more pronounced when he was holding the chopsticks.He picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and suddenly found a poached egg nestled under the noodles.

The life of the Ning family is not rich, and they always eat plain noodles at night.

Ning Yong glanced at Chunliu.The latter was looking at him shyly.

Ning Yong still didn't speak, just finished eating the eggs silently.

Ning Xu and Ning Wen came out of Ning Feng's room, Ning Feng began to cough violently, and then panted and shouted: "Chunliu, Chunliu."

Reluctant to part with Ning Yong, Chunliu walked into the east wing with a face full of reluctance.

Because of years of taking medicine and being bedridden, Ning Feng's house always had an unpleasant smell.It took Chunliu a while to get used to the smell again.She restrained the reluctance on her face just now, and walked in front of Ning Feng: "Mr. Da Lang."

Ning Feng's doting face suddenly turned into gloom: "Where did you go just now?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh at Chunliu's waist, using all his strength.

Chunliu was in pain, Xing's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Ning Feng became more and more gloomy.He didn't say a word, his right hand just groped into Chunliu's skirt and pinched it harder and harder.

His voice was ruthless: "You bitch, you actually want to seduce your second brother. Bitch, you have to always remember that you are mine, you can only be mine." His hand touched somewhere.

Chunliu closed her eyes, tears streaming down silently.

Under the eaves outside, Ning Yong finished eating noodles.Just as he took out his handkerchief to wipe his mouth, Zhouquan came back.

Ning Yong got up and walked into her small study.

Bean-like lights danced, and Zhou Quan's voice was extremely low: "Mr. Erlang, the slave found out that Wu Ji was Wu Nianbai's adoptive son when he was in Lingnan, and he was not yet married. Even brought him back together. It is said that the Wu family intends to open a medicinal material shop, and then let Wu Ji take care of things."

Ning Yong nodded slightly.

Zhou Quan continued: "The servant is still inquiring, Miss Zhao Si has been grounded."

Ning Yong frowned slightly: Foot restraint?
Zhao Jinyi has always been favored by Zhao's parents and seniors. Zhao Xiuyuan once said in front of them that his fourth younger sister was the eyeball that his grandfather loved very much.In the future, his brother-in-law would wonder how handsome and extraordinary he must be in order to marry his fourth younger sister.

He didn't care whether others listened or not, and whether they were moved.But he could tell that if anyone married Zhao Jinyi, he would not only get a large dowry, but also get Zhao Qing's help.

Although Zhao Qing, who served as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, has retired, his connections are still there after all.Otherwise, those children of the Zhao family who couldn't support the wall would not have all entered the Imperial College smoothly.

His slender fingers gently stroked the Chengxintang paper sent by the Zhao family yesterday, and suddenly he thought: Maybe Zhao Jinyi's grounding has something to do with him.
