It's just that I got acquainted today, and Ning Jiang is willing to help to such a point, and Bai Zijin is grateful.

Despite this, he still hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you Brother Ning for your kindness, but I still have my grandmother at home, and she is old, how can I leave her old man and go to the provincial capital?" ”

In the house, Bai Zijin's grandmother Feng had already heard their words, and said in the house: "Grandson, what Ning Gongzi said is reasonable, you are now a showman, you should focus on your studies, you can't really farm here for a lifetime?" Besides, you are now older, and the marriage with the Zheng family should also be concluded. Back then, your grandfather had a great kindness to Zheng Shangshu, if it weren't for your grandfather, Zheng Shangshu would have been left in the barren mountain, think about it, you and I go to join the Zheng family, the Zheng family will always take you in with your grandfather's kindness to his family, as well as your relationship with the Zheng family's sisters, and you will always take you and me, you can also settle down and study hard. ”

Ning Jiang looked at Bai Zijin.

Bai Zijin explained in a low voice: "The Zheng family that my grandmother said is Zheng An, the Guanglu doctor of Tongzhou, Zheng Lao, who once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Zuoxuan, my grandfather had a great favor to the Zheng family, and Zheng Shangshu has always been a junior courtesy to my grandfather. Zheng Shangshu has two sons and a daughter, his daughter is called Zheng Xiuxiu, who earned in his later years and has a marriage contract with me. ”

Then he hesitated: "It's just that my family has fallen into such a field now......"

Ning Jiang said: "Brother Zijin's words are wrong, listen to what you and Grandmother Ling said, that Zheng Shangshu was in trouble back then, and Ling Zu was once kind to him, so now that your family is in trouble, he will not stand idly by." What's more, since you are married to the girl of the Zheng family, if you feel sorry for yourself here and don't know how to make progress, won't you also delay that Xiu'er girl? If you can pass the exam, and that Xiu'er girl marries, at least she has a lintel, can you let the daughter of the family come over and farm with you? ”

He also said: "If Brother Zijin feels that his family is in the middle of the road and is not worthy of the Zheng family's girl, then he doesn't have to care, his natural talent must be useful, and it is normal for the husband to rise and fall." Since Ling Zu can be a talent from a show and be awarded a national pillar, then I believe that Brother Zijin can also do it. ”

Ning Jiang's tone was sincere, for this general who had gathered the Seven Paths Righteous Army in the southwest in his previous life and shocked Xiling, so much so that even the newly born Yuan Demon Emperor had to send the general Dazong Evil to assassinate him with extraordinary force, Ning Jiang believed that he would naturally be able to get ahead as long as the wind and clouds met.

But for Bai Zijin, he was originally just a teenager who had not experienced too much of the world, his family was in a dilapidated state, and he was at a low point in his life.

Chewing on Ning Jiang's words of "natural talent must be useful" in his heart, Bai Zijin arched his hand and said: "Thank you Brother Ning for your teachings, it is the younger brother who thinks badly." The younger brother will take his grandmother tomorrow and go to the provincial capital with Brother Ning to prepare for the autumn season! ”

On the second day, Bai Zijin rented his family's land to other tenant farmers nearby, took his grandmother, and went to the provincial capital with the Ning siblings.

Along the way, Ningjiang paid all the fares and accommodation fees for them, and then took a boat along a tributary of the Changhe River.

Because the Feng family was old and couldn't afford too many bumps, their trip was not fast, and it took a few more days to come to Tongcheng.

When he arrived in Tongcheng, Ning Jiang told Bai Zijin about the yard he rented by Luopei Lake in the north of the provincial capital, and Bai Zijin once again thanked Ning Jiang for taking care of their ancestors and grandchildren along the way.

After the separation, Bai Zijin took his grandmother and inquired all the way to the mansion where Guanglu's doctor Zheng's family was.

The mansion of the Zheng family occupies a wide area, magnificent, and the two stone lions in front of the door are each mighty, with red tiles and yellow walls, which are different and gorgeous.

Bai Zijin and Feng came to the red lacquer gate together, picked up the buckle, and knocked a few times. After a while, the door opened, and the steward of the door looked at them, and frowned at the sight of their coarse linen clothes.

Bai Zijin handed over the door post: "Chengyuan County, Gu Chu County, Bai Zijin, the son of Bai Boliang, the former captain of the light car, came to visit Dr. Guanglu with his grandmother, and please help inform him." ”

The steward glared at them, probably suspecting that they were liars or autumn winds, and took the door post several times, glanced at them a few times, and then said, "You wait! "Let the two guards watch here, and enter with the door slip yourself.

The grandfather and grandson waited for a while, and then the steward came out and said arrogantly, "Come with me." ”

Bai Zijin swallowed his anger, took his grandmother, and walked inward with him, and came to the main hall, only to see a man with a jade belt around his waist and a gold medal and purple ribbon standing there, it was Zheng An, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. Zheng An first invited Feng to the upper seat and said, "It turns out that the old lady has arrived!" ”

Mrs. Feng hurriedly asked her grandson to come to the ceremony, and talked about her grandson's intention to celebrate this autumn. Zheng An smiled and encouraged Bai Zijin a few words, and after a while, he asked people to arrange a side room for Old Madam Feng and her grandson to live temporarily.

After settling the two grandchildren, Zheng An returned to the inner room, and his wife Huangfu greeted him and said, "Master, why did you really keep them?" At that time, hundreds of families were sealed to the national pillars, and the family background was prominent, and our two families were married, but now that their family has been broken, do you really want to marry our Xiu'er and suffer with the children of the hundred families? ”

Zheng An said helplessly: "Why do I still want this family business?" But you have to think about it, when I was in trouble, the Hundred Nations Pillar helped me, this is a well-known thing, and now that their ancestors and grandchildren have come to take refuge, if I leave them alone, if this rumor spreads, won't it also hinder my reputation? Besides, Bai Zijin and our family's Xiu'er are married after all. Although I am now a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, I am only scattered at home, and I have recently gone through various relationships, and I am finally about to enter the court again, how can I give people a chance to gossip? ”

Huangfu said: "The old man means ......"

Zheng An said: "Even if you want to cancel the marriage contract, it is best to take the initiative to cancel it from the Baijia side, otherwise it will make people gossip." ”

Huangfu thought about it, and said hatefully: "What the master said is also true, but Mrs. Feng and her grandson are really unreasonable, their family has been dilapidated to such a point, and my Zheng family has long been out of the same household, but if you have a little conscience, you should also take the initiative to cancel the marriage, why did you come here like this?" ”

Zheng An said: "Madam, you are wrong, how can they not understand the matter?" They are so sensible that they now have nothing, and they are destitute, so they naturally want to cling to our family even if they die. ”

sighed: "Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have married such a family relationship in the first place." Alas, there are such shameless people in the world!! ”

Huangfu said: "It's ......"
