Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning was a little lucky that when she was working as a salesman in a work-study program, her rhetoric skills were not in vain.

Since ancient times, women's desire to become beautiful has no limit.

The entire Zhong Mansion, from the maids to the mother-in-law, have all learned to use cucumber facial masks. When they had breakfast in the morning, no one saw any cucumbers on the table.

"Qing'er, your face seems to be paler than yesterday..."

"Really, your face is more tender than a few days ago..."

…

When Qing'er and a maid were complimenting each other, the cook came up from behind and asked mysteriously: "Look, do you think there are fewer wrinkles on my face?"

Although this has been proven to be effective in later generations, the effect was not so fast.

In desperation, Tang Ning had no choice but to popularize it to them. This kind of facial mask should be done once a day at most, and it didn't need to be done every day. It would be useless if it was done more often.

Qing'er looked at her, with little stars twinkling in her eyes, and asked: "Uncle, how do you know so many things about girls..."

Several maids beside her also looked at him with admiration.

My uncle not only knows how to relieve women’s pain when they come, but also knows how to make them whiter and more beautiful, eliminate wrinkles, and make their skin smooth, delicate and elastic. But even their women don’t know these things...

My uncle is the one who really understands their women...

"Uncle, please help me find out what type of skin I have..."

"Uncle, please help me take a look..."

"Uncle, what kind of facial mask is suitable for me..."

"Uncle, don't go..."

…

Tang Ning had no choice but to leave. Not only the maids, but also the fat cook from the Zhong family stretched their heads and leaned towards him. If she left too late, he really wouldn't be able to leave.

He was going to visit Xiaoru.

When he walked to the door of Zhong Mansion, he happened to meet Tang Yaoyao.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do instead of learning martial arts?"

Tangning thought for a while and said, "Let's start from tomorrow."

He looked at Tang Yaoyao and asked, "Did you apply cucumber on your face?"

Tang Yaoyao was stunned for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he immediately said, "I didn't."

Tangning said, "You have a piece of it stuck in your hair."

Tang Yaoyao hurriedly fiddled with her head, and sure enough, there was a thin slice of cucumber.

Feeling ashamed and angry, she looked at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning thought that she was going to be in trouble. Tang Yaojing was exposed to him in person. She became angry and said hurriedly: "I almost forgot. I have a few more beauty secrets to tell you. Do you want to listen?"

"I am a naturally beautiful girl, do you need any secret recipe for beauty?" Tang Yaoyao glanced at him, changed her tone, and said: "But if you want to say something, I can reluctantly listen..."

Tangning shook her head and said, "Then you don't have to force it. I have something else to do. See you later."

"stop!"

Tang Yaojiao shouted angrily, broke her face, folded her hands around her chest, and said, "Speak quickly!"

When other women did this, they would only make a certain part more majestic. When she did this, there was no change. Tangning complained in her heart and said, "This is a unique secret recipe. It is natural and pollution-free. I am only telling you this." , you must not spread the word..."

…

Tang Ning has already experienced Tang Yaojing's duplicity, but what she said about natural beauty is true. She and Zhong Yi are both sixteen years old, and their faces are full of collagen, so they don't need any more modifications. thing.

Qing'er is one year younger than them. It is natural and pollution-free, so there is no need for it.

Su Ru lived not far from the Zhong Mansion, only a few hundred steps away. When Tangning walked over, she was the only one in the yard.

Seeing him walking in, Su Ru showed a smile on her face and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, you are here..."

Tangning looked around and asked, "Where are the third uncle and third aunt?"

"They went back to the village early in the morning, and there are still some things that have not been moved here." Su Ru walked into the kitchen, then walked out and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, I cooked porridge this morning, do you want some..."

Tangning looked at the expectant expression on her face, but she couldn't bear to say no. Although he had already had breakfast this morning, he still took the bowl from her hand and said with a smile, "I happen to be a little hungry..."

The original owner of the house that Peng Chen was looking for moved his family and was eager to sell it. There were large furniture in the house, all of which were 80% new, and they were all sold at a low price. They only needed to add some small items.

Tang Ning was drinking porridge in the yard, while Su Ru walked briskly and gathered around him to mutter.

"The weather is very good today. I took out Brother Xiao Ning's old books and dried them. Brother Xiao Ning, when he comes tomorrow, take them all with him."

"I thought about it last night. If we just rely on weaving, it will take many, many years to repay Miss Tang's money. We still have some money left, and the third aunt said we can do some small business in the city..."

"I will find a way to deal with the money. Brother Xiao Ning, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to study hard and prepare for the state examination in three years' time..."

…

Tang Ning did not tell her that the time limit agreed between him and Tang Yaoyao was one year. In one year, no matter what business they did, it would be difficult to earn a thousand taels of silver.

After finishing the porridge, he put down the bowl, looked at her, shook his head and said, "You only need to do one thing now, which is to take good care of yourself here. I have my own way to deal with the money..."

"My body is fine." Su Ru shook her head and said, "Brother Xiao Ning doesn't understand business matters. You just have to study with peace of mind. I'll take care of other things..."

Tangning thought for a moment, looked at her, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Ru, can I not take the imperial examination?"

Perhaps it was because she read too many books in her previous life, but in this life, Tang Ning really had no interest in becoming an official through the imperial examination.

He was confident that even if he didn't become an official, he could make Xiaoru live a good life. But once he entered the officialdom, his fate and even his life were not under his control. Tangning didn't like that kind of atmosphere.

"Abandon the imperial examination?"

Su Ru looked at him, her body trembling slightly and her face gradually turning pale. By the time Tangning realized something was wrong, she was already squatting on the ground and crying.

Tangning hurriedly knelt down, patted her shoulder gently, and said anxiously: "What's wrong, what's wrong..."

Su Ru raised her head, pear blossoms that had been crying for a long time, looked at him with tearful eyes, choked up and said: "Brother Xiao Ning, have you forgotten how much suffering and suffering you have endured over the years in order to study and to be named on the gold medal list one day? No matter how many crimes I committed and how many people I begged, I finally got the opportunity to take the state examination..."

Su Ru cried so sadly. Even after knowing that he had lost his memory and was married to Zhong Yi, she had never cried so sadly.

"Test!" Tangning looked at her and said helplessly, "Isn't it good for me to take the exam..."

He didn't know how much hard work Tangning had put in and how much hardship she had endured in order to be able to take part in the state examination, but Xiao Ru and the others must have suffered no less.

The fact that she cried so sadly showed that this matter was extremely important in her heart.

In this world, the only person he couldn't make her sad was Xiao Ru.

Su Ru raised her head, wiped her tears, looked at him, and asked, "Really?"

Tangning nodded and said, "Really."

Tang Ning hates seeing women cry the most, but in the past two days, Tang Yaoyao cried, Zhong Yi cried, and now even Xiaoru cried whenever she asked... Their women were indeed made of water.

Su Ru held his hand and said comfortingly: "Brother Xiao Ning has been gifted and smart since he was a child. Even if he forgets what he has learned before and misses this state exam, it doesn't matter. We will have another one..."

In this era where everything is inferior and the only way to get high is through education, the only and most recognized path for scholars is the imperial examination.

After ten years of hard work, even if you achieve nothing, you can't do anything else.

At most, I should be a master, teach students, and sell calligraphy and painting...

Otherwise it is depravity.

Obviously, in Su Ru's eyes, Tangning was on the verge of depravity.

There are many things that can be done in life. Although he is still unwilling to take the road of imperial examination, he still wants to pass Xiaoru first...
