Ning Zhongyuan said: "Originally, I planned to marry the daughter of an official eunuch for Yu'er, but the current situation has made me change my mind. ”

Ning Zhong Jingqi said: "Why? Now that my Ning family is in trouble, if I can let Yu'er marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, it will be of great benefit to the current situation of my Ning family! ”

Ning Yu knew that this third uncle had nothing else in his eyes except for the family. Such a person is naturally a good thing for the family, but for individuals, sometimes they can't help but feel repulsed.

Ning Zhongyuan sighed and said, "My Ning family is now on the cusp, and it may be a little inappropriate to ask to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official again." I have heard that the Cui family has a daughter, who can be called virtuous and virtuous, and Cui Wancai has a great reputation in Shilin, if my Ning family can match, it will also be a great good thing. ”

As soon as he heard that his father really hit the Cui family's father and daughter, Ning Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that his future was uncertain, and if he affected the Cui family's father and daughter, he was really unwilling.

"Father, I think this matter still needs to be considered...... Now the future of my Ning family is unpredictable, if it affects the teacher's family, I really have no shame to face the teacher. ”

Ning Zhongyuan smiled, "It's too early to say that the future of the Ning family is unpredictable, and Man Pi can't cover the sky with one hand in Huguang, don't worry, if you can't figure it out, you can go to your teacher and ask." ”

Ning Yu understood that his father was not so simple, and he was afraid that he had also laid a secret hand earlier, but he was always a little worried in his heart, so he decided to find Cui Wancai to ask what was going on.

The next day, Ning Yu took the guards to Hanyang, and when he arrived at Cui's house, he found that Cui Wancai was doing an activity in the courtyard that was beneficial to his body and mind - drying books.

Cui Wancai placed four wooden planks in the courtyard, each of which was two feet wide and five or six feet long, resting on a long high bench, on which were placed scrolls of ancient books, which looked very spectacular.

Seeing Ning Yu coming, Cui Wancai smiled and said, "Didn't you just come here a few days ago, why did you come again?" ”

Cui Wancai is such a straight person, and he doesn't like to play around the bush, so he has always said something.

Ning Yu said helplessly: "I came for the Ning family before, but now I am here for myself." Unexpectedly, today's teacher made a lot of fun and did the act of drying books, but it was not the right time for the students to come. ”

Cui Wancai laughed, "Although there has been a saying about publishing books since the Han and Tang Dynasties, being a teacher is not a vassal elegance, after all, those things have already been done by Zhu Yizun first, wouldn't it seem vulgar for me to do it again?" What's more, Zhu Yizun was chosen on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, which was a full month early for his teacher. ”

Ning Yu knew that this Zhu Yizun had participated in the compilation and revision of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and was even known as the king of Southern Zhu and Northern Zhu together with Wang Shizhen, which can be called a generation of words.

When Zhu Yizun became famous, he basked in the sun on the sixth day of the first month of June, which was called a book, and then was seen by Kangxi, who was out on patrol in microclothes, and was named the review of the Hanlin Academy, responsible for compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Ning Yu knew that his teacher didn't take this pronoun sect in his eyes, so he smiled and said: "This person is just a generation of rotten Confucianism, how can he be compared with a teacher who can do practical things?" It's the student Meng Lang. ”

Cui Wancai is not inaccessible, sometimes hearing the praise of the students, his heart is also quite comfortable, so when he heard Ning Yu describe him like this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered everyone to move the books in, and specially told a few rough guards to be careful to take them away.

After a busy day, Ning Yu served tea to Cui Wancai and said in a low voice: "The student is here today, there is really a difficult matter to find the teacher to solve. ”

Cui Wancai thought about it for a while, and then said: "You have always had a lot of difficulties, but there are very few things I can help you with, so just say it." ”

Ning Yu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My father wants the Ning family and the Cui family to form a family. After all, I was a little embarrassed, but I said it tactfully, after all, it was a little embarrassing for Ning Yu's identity.

Cui Wancai was not in a hurry or annoyed, staring at Ning Yu with a smile, without saying a word, looking at Ning Yu in his heart.

"This is not the intention of the students to come, and now that the future of my Ning family is uncertain, I should not have implicated the teacher, let alone my little sister. It is not a gentleman to do so. Ning Yu felt a chord in his heart and said it happily.

"Oh, what about yourself? Want to do it but don't want to? ”

These words made Ning Yu's white face turn red, even though he was a human in two lives, Ning Yu was never very enlightened in this regard, but now he was asked like this, but he was a little overwhelmed.

"Students.... Students naturally think ....."

Cui Wancai smiled and said: "Your master and mother went early, and left such a daughter, and it is not easy to raise such a daughter for the teacher, so I am used to being a little more spoiled by my sister, and my heart is a little bigger. ”

Ning Yu knew that Cui Wancai was not exaggerating, Cui Ji had received Cui Wancai's education since he was a child, and he was also very smart, so he could be called a poet and a poet, and he was endowed with a poem.

"If you have a heart, go and ask your sister-in-law yourself, if she is willing, my father will naturally not stop you." Cui Wancai's words were fluttering.

Ning Yu was a little dumbfounded, this teacher seemed to be a little too enlightened, in this era of parents' matchmaking, let her daughter decide for herself, if she said it, I am afraid no one would dare to believe it.

After Cui Wancai finished speaking, he smiled slightly and walked out of the house, leaving Ning Yu who was stunned.

Ning Yu looked at Cui Wancai's back, slightly nervous in his heart, if Cui Xi and the others would insult him, should he call it or not? That's a tough question.

Just when Ning Yu was thinking about it, Cui Xi slowly walked out of the inner hall, wearing a light yellow skirt, her face was white and red, dotted with bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth outlined a shallow smile.

"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been eavesdropping on the sidelines, and I ask my brother not to blame." Cui Ji bowed.

Ning Yu smiled bitterly and said softly: "Thinking about what I said just now, my junior sister heard it." ”

Cui Ji said calmly: "Senior brother favors her, and Ji'er is naturally happy, but Ji'er thinks that if the senior brother is sincere, Ji'er is naturally grateful, but Ji'er is not as virtuous as the senior brother thinks, and she is afraid of disappointing the senior brother." ”

"If you are only wronged for the sake of the family, your sister is not willing to be wronged."

After these words, he was polite and polite, and Ning Yu no longer thought about him.

"Senior sister's meaning, I already understand, I will refuse my father when I go back this time."

After Ning Yu finished speaking, he bowed and retired, without showing any complaints, which was actually more in line with his original assumption, although he was a little disappointed in his heart.

Seeing Ning Yu behaving like this, Cui Xi couldn't help but be a little shaken in her heart, and she vaguely felt that there might be a problem with her judgment.
