Chapter 42: A Chinese Wandering Spirit (9)
Ning Caichen was on fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
To be precise, it is the book "Nie Xiaoqian" that is on fire.
Ning Caichen made a lot of money with this messy book of fire, and fought a beautiful turnaround.
In order to thank Nie Xiaoqian, after eating wine with the old men in the town that day, he specially bought some incense candles and paper money to burn for Nie Xiaoqian on the Zhuangyuan Bridge. After the burning, he drank and talked about Yan Chixia with Nie Xiaoqian.
This novel story made Nie Xiaoqian's eyes melt.
The Ning family in Tonghua Village is still the one who is watched, but now it is not to watch the play, but to see the county master.
With the popularity of Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen's name resounded all over the country.
The wine shop and the bookstall teahouse are all talking about the love story of Nie Xiaoqian and the scholar. Passed around, the scholar in the story became Ning Caichen, who was one word different from Ning Caichen.
Many people are famous and want to see what Ning Caichen, who is in love with ghosts, looks like. What's more, I want to ask Ning Caichen what the ghost looks like, whether he eats, drinks, and dresses like a person.
Even, the county magistrate was shocked.
The people above asked the county magistrate to report the matter as it was. The county magistrate then came to Ning's house in person to visit Ning's talent.
The county magistrate's sedan chair came to the three small thatched huts of the Ning family with the gongs and drums beating along the way.
So, Tonghua Village blew up again.
The man who was carrying a hoe and preparing to plow the ground, the old woman who was feeding the chickens at home, and the aunts who bit each other's ears to do needlework, hurriedly put down what they were doing and gathered in front of the small thatched hut of the Ning family. This year, it is the second time that the villagers have gathered in front of Ning's house, breaking the practice of once a year.
The only difference is that Ning Shusheng, who was not looked down upon a few times ago, became the most prominent figure in the village.
You must know that in Tonghua Village for hundreds of years, there has never been a person who has personally visited the master of Labor County. And this repeated failures, Ning Shusheng, who failed to be admitted to Tongsheng more than 30 times, took the first place that had been idle for hundreds of years.
What does this mean?
It shows that Tonghua Village is an outstanding person, and it is about to be a big man!
It's a great honor for everyone!
Ning Shusheng, who has been ridiculed all the time, has become a rare genius in Tonghua Village - the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing!
Even the county magistrate praised him as a great talent, so he can't be wrong!
As for why Ning Caichen has been repeatedly unsuccessful, and he has not even been a child after many years of exams, the villagers have their own answers:
How can anyone succeed casually? People who have never done great things have to go through some setbacks and pains. No, isn't it time to run now?
Even, Ning Caichen's previous absurd behaviors have become ironclad evidence that he is doing great things.
Have you failed the test dozens of times and are still taking the test?
It shows that Ning Dacai is indomitable and firm-minded, can ordinary people do this?
No!
Either he took the exam more than a dozen times and went to the field in discouragement, or he found a rope and hanged himself! How can there be a person like Ning Caichen who never returns as always?
What a big deal!
If you don't pass the exam, you have to throw yourself into the well three times or five times?
It shows that Ning Dacai has an extremely strong sense of honor and disgrace and self-esteem. Can the average person do that?
No!
What's the big deal if you don't pass the test? How can you not make ends meet for the rest of your life when you go home to farm a field or start some other small business? How can there be a person like Ning Caichen, who vows not to give up until he achieves his goal, and his self-esteem is so strong that he will become a benevolent person if he does not succeed?
What a big deal!
Then why didn't he die when he threw himself into the well?
!
Can you die? Can Wenqu Xing die if he is reincarnated?
If he can't die, then what is he doing by throwing himself into the well again and again?
It's normal for this behavior to be different from ordinary people. What's more, he couldn't die by throwing himself into a well again and again, doesn't that mean that he has a deep destiny to be blessed? Besides, can a scholar throw himself into a well?
What's that called?
You ask Lao Tzu a mud leg, how does Lao Tzu know.
The person who asked closed his mouth stupidly, and the conversation ended unhappily.
At this time, the county magistrate walked out with a spring breeze on his face.
came out next, as well as Ning Dad and Ning Caichen, who were sincerely frightened and excited.
After the county magistrate received everyone's salutes, he got on the sedan chair and beat gongs and drums and left.
Leaving the crowd still in excitement to have a lively discussion.
The black aunt of the Li family walked next to the short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family.
"What am I talking about? This is the same as my third uncle's uncle's second uncle and sister-in-law's aunt. People ask him to be a big official, and the more people persuade him to go, the more he doesn't go, the more he doesn't go, the more famous he becomes, and the more famous he is, the bigger the official he asks him to be..... Sister-in-law of the Wang family, look, now, isn't Ning Shusheng so famous that he alarmed the county master?"
The black aunt of the Li family said with a smug face.
"Hmm. Well. ā
The short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family didn't understand the connection between the two, and she didn't dare to say much at the moment, but in order not to show her shallow ignorance, she nodded and echoed a few words.
The Ning family moved to the town, bought a small courtyard with two entrances, and listed the Ning Mansion.
Father Ning and Wang Ning have been digging in the ground for a lifetime, and when they are old, they have become old ladies and ancestors. There are not only people serving tea and pouring water, but also people washing their feet and beating their backs.
In the first few days, the two elders were still a little uncomfortable, but after a while, they were like people who were used to living a rich life, and they were quite powerful.
The tea was hot, and a look swept over, and the girl serving the tea would hurriedly kneel down and kowtow: "The old lady is angry." ā
"Well, not next time, let's go down. Father Ning stretched out his tone and commanded slowly.
"Yes. The maid quietly withdrew from the house with tears in her eyes.
Ning Caichen has become a cultural celebrity, and he has been out for three days and two ends, and with the name of "Nie Xiaoqian", he has been very popular for a while, and wherever he goes, he is called "Ning Da Caizi".
Ning Caichen, who tasted the sweetness, had already left Nie Xiaoqian behind, in addition to eating, drinking, and touting everywhere, he was thinking about how to write a better book than Nie Xiaoqian every day, in order to become more famous and wealthy.
But "Nie Xiaoqian" became his pinnacle, and he soon found it difficult to write a book that surpassed "Nie Xiaoqian".
However, with this book, his status has also been established.
At this time, a big event happened.
Ning Caichen, he is going to get married.
married to the sixth lady of the Zheng family in Hexi.
Although he is a concubine, he is fifteen years old, and he was born with snow skin and flowers, and he is also fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his appearance is good.
What's more, the Zheng family is a century-old family, and several uncles are all officials in the court. Although Mrs. Zheng is idle at home, she is very famous and can be regarded as the leader in the literary world.
This good marriage that fell from the sky, and Ning Dad Ning Wang's family couldn't find the north even with Ning Caichen for several days.
