"Wait a minute!" Jin Jing interrupted Ning Cheng, walked towards him slowly, and stared at him for a long time, "You have this year..."
"Replying to your lord, the student is twenty-four this year." Ning Cheng looked at Jin Jing's disbelieving look and smiled sheepishly, "The people in our family are good at it. They are relatively young and easy to let go." Others misunderstood."
"That was indeed a misunderstanding. I always thought you were less than twenty years old, but I didn't expect you to be so old."
"I'm really ashamed. Although I'm very young, I have accomplished nothing and can't even protect my family." Ning Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "It's not as good as a few adults who have already achieved success and fame."
"Really? I'm afraid it's not rare for you to be successful like us." Jin Jing just smiled lightly and continued to ask, "Since you are already twenty-four, according to the rules of your family, you didn't actually ask Any ideas for you to discuss marriage?"
"I proposed it, but my mother rejected it."
"Why?"
"Isn't my mother mentally ill?" Ning Cheng sighed faintly, "I have said before that although my father's death was not sudden, it was expected, but for two people who have deep feelings, It was also a fatal blow. My mother was almost unable to recover. After my father passed away, she was in a coma for half a month. After she woke up, she didn't recognize people very well, and she couldn't remember her children. Age, after so many years, she has always thought that I was only twelve or thirteen years old, so she was not very anxious about my marriage. Also, she always remembered her father's words, saying that I had not found a way to take the imperial examination, so I should not delay others. A good girl. My mother remembers nothing but this."
"Wait a minute!" Ying Shiqi thought for a while, "I went to pick up your mother and your sister yesterday, and I heard your mother scolding your sister, and the scolding was very unpleasant. Isn't it because of your sister and Li?"
"Her mind was sometimes awake and sometimes confused. I wasn't there, so I don't know whether she was awake or confused at that time."
"What's the difference between these two situations?"
"When I was sober, I was scolding my sister-in-law. After my brother passed away, she remarried." Ning Cheng sighed, "She has always been very prejudiced against this. She always thought that it was my sister-in-law who caused my brother's death. It was my sister-in-law who passed away that affected my brother's career. If she was confused, she would have been scolding her for her dowry. This dowry..." He sighed again and said, "When my mother was pregnant with my brother. , trying to seduce my father. At that time, my father was not sick yet, and his relationship with the clan leader was also very good. But my father and my mother had a very deep relationship, so he directly told my mother about it, and the dowry was sent back directly. He killed my mother's natal family, and I don't know what the outcome will be." He looked at Ying Shiqi, "What did this gentleman hear?"
"It should be a time of confusion, but..." Ying Qiwei frowned slightly, "I have interrogated her before, and she also knew that your sister had divorced, and said that because of her, it affected your future. Well, what about you? How should we explain it?"
"She knows that my sister is divorced. The reason for divorce is what we made up and told her, and it's not the real one." Ning Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "She thinks why my sister can't bear it until I become famous. Let's make peace again. My sister is indeed very wronged, but in order not to irritate my mother, we can only swallow this bitter water in our own stomachs. "
"Understood." Shadow Seventeen nodded, "Her current situation is a mixture of reality and memories, right?"
"That's pretty much what I mean." Ning Cheng smiled, "Look, my mother is like this, my sister is like that, what does it matter if I get married or not? Besides, I think leaving the family may be better than being in the family. If you want to live a good life in the family, you don’t need to be judged by others, right?”
"That's right." Jin Jing nodded, "You just said you have evidence in your hand. Where did this evidence come from?"
"Ever since I found out about the death of my brother and the bullying of my sister, I started to collect this evidence." Ning Cheng sneered, "Actually, there is no need to search for it because it is not public in the family. secret
. "
"The secret is that everyone knows it, right?"
"Yes, not only everyone knows about it, but everyone has also participated in it." Ning Cheng smiled helplessly, "In our family, things related to Ning Chang Kingdom are major events, and almost everyone is involved. You have to do your part.”
"You..." Jin Jing was shocked by these words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Cheng, "Is this considered a crime of brainstorming?"
"They don't think it's a crime." Ning Cheng looked helplessly at Jin Jing, "When I was in the family, I didn't think it was a crime. I thought it was a matter of course. I also thought it was an honor for the clan to be able to participate here. .”
"According to your family's consistent argument, this is indeed the case." Jin Jing also sighed, "Just now when I was mentioned as the number one scholar in Ningchang Junior High School, many accidents happened and I had to go to the Hanlin Academy to study. No? But this has nothing to do with the couple from the Ning family in Zhongzhou. Ning Changguo should also be implicated, right?"
"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with them, but this matter made them realize that Ning Changguo's identity is the Ning family's handle, and Ning Changguo's handle. This can be controlled for a lifetime. They realize this, They thought they had found a way to make money. From the beginning, they used the name of Ning Changguo to go to the capital to establish connections. We were the parents of the number one scholar, and we came here to walk around. Two adults..." Ning Cheng looked at Looking at Jin Jing and then Shen Cha, "They know the situation in Beijing better than us. People like them are almost unlikely to receive any welcome, right?"
"It's true that they are unpopular, but they can still live up to their reputation, and no one will really turn them away." Jin Jing thought for a while, "What is their purpose of doing this?"
"What other purpose could there be, just to get some benefits from Ningchang Kingdom or our family."
"Money?"
"Yes, this is their way of making money. However, the two adults also know that they caused such a big incident this time, which aroused His Majesty's anger. As a result, the old disease relapsed, and His Majesty's physical condition was not good. So good that it caused such a fuss that all the civil and military officials, nobles and royal family members in the entire capital criticized this generation of scholars. Even they themselves did not want to pay attention to it, let alone their families! But the couple from the Ning family As if they couldn't read other people's faces, they visited the mansions related to Ningchang Kingdom, and then walked around in the streets. It happened that the places they visited were places where Ningchang Kingdom often appeared. When Ning Changguo appears, they must greet him very enthusiastically, and every word they say must bring a son."
"What do you mean by having a son in every word?" Ying Wuyi frowned, "You mean, they are reminding Ning Changguo? No, it is a threat!"
