Chapter 12: Show of affection

Ning Zeren's heart was full of despair, he was compared to a twelve-year-old child, he had a faint premonition, the fourth brother would definitely be able to pass the exam, but he might not be able to win.

At that time, he was really shameless.

Ning Zeren's last hope was pressed on his father, he hoped that his father could buy him exam questions, and at that time, even if he didn't do as well as the fourth brother, he wouldn't be too ashamed.

"Exam questions?" Ning Yongchuan's expression was indifferent and cold, and he put the book in his hand aside, "Fourth, you go back to the house to endorse the book first." ”

Ning Zezhi glanced at his eldest brother and father in a daze, nodded and went out, thinking only about studying and being an official.

There were only two people left in the house, Ning Yongchuan and Ning Zeren.

At this time, the sound of An Manyue praising the big head came from the courtyard, accompanied by Li's praise of An Manyue and the happy laughter of the big head.

Ning Zeren blushed, he boasted that he was the future of the Ning family, and he had always believed that the Ning family would rely on him in the future, but at this moment he realized how outrageous he was wrong.

"I won't buy you exam questions, even if my eldest brother is still alive now, I believe he won't buy exam questions for you." Ning Yongchuan sat up straight, looking at Ning Zeren's disappointed eyes, his face was cold, "When the eldest brother and sister-in-law left, you should have remembered. ”

Ning Zeren sat on the stool with his head down, his right hand unconsciously clenched the book, and nodded.

"Then you should also know that the eldest brother and sister-in-law got into trouble in their freshman year, and those people easily attacked the eldest brother and sister-in-law, if the three of you weren't young at the time, maybe you would have died a long time ago." Ning Yongchuan was angry when he thought that the original body had been paying stupidly, how could he be a father like the original body, and he didn't care for his son and his eldest brother's family, "If someone else buys exam questions, maybe this matter can be covered up casually, but when you buy exam questions, have you ever thought that those people might take the opportunity to fall into the trap for you." ”

Ning Zeren's face turned pale and he looked at Ning Yongchuan in fear.

"Dad," Ning Zeren's voice trembled, he was really scared, "I, I know it's wrong." ”

"It doesn't matter if something happens to you, it's just that you're going to be miserable," Ning Yongchuan coldly poured salt on Ning Zeren's wound, "The big head is talented and intelligent, but he is a good seedling, if his father has a stain on his body......"

Ning Zeren was so frightened that he fell off the stool, knelt in front of the bed in panic, he knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and he could grow a show talent if he died, and he wanted to take the exam, it was really whimsical, and at this time he suddenly understood a truth.

Why did his father have to pass the three brothers to his father's name, his father would rather be called a dead family in the future than the three of their brothers would be persecuted.

He does not seek merit, but only no fault.

"I, I won't take the test this time." Ning Zeren's eyes were red, he didn't want others to know that he was not as good as the fourth, but he didn't want to embarrass the child, "Dad, I understand what you mean, I will set an example for the big head." ”

The next day, the news that Ning Zeren accidentally fell on his leg when he came back from the latrine last night spread in Dayang Village.

Many people think that Ning Zeren is a pity, he has studied for so many years, but he fell his leg a month before the exam.

There are also many people gloating, they have long seen that the Ning family is not pleasing to the eye, and they all feel that the Ning family is too indifferent and deserves to break their legs and not be able to take the exam.

There are only two children in the big house who come to eat, but the big head can eat by himself, and the big head's sister Xiangxiang is still young. The third daughter-in-law has always liked children, so she sat next to Xiangxiang and fed her.

An Manyue thought about it with her toes and knew how sad Li was at this time, but she didn't have time to comfort Li's glass heart, she still had important things to do at this time.

Ming is a happy event for Li Zheng's eldest son, she went over in advance to see if there was anything she needed help with, otherwise people would say that the Ning family was not.

The third daughter-in-law's cooking skills are well-known, and An Manyue took Su to Lizheng's house this time.

Lizheng Lady Li was arranging the yard at the gate of the courtyard at this time, and when she saw An Manyue coming, she smiled brightly: "Xiucai lady, why are you here?" ”

"Third daughter-in-law, you go and help cook," An Manyue told Su Shi, and walked to Lizheng Niangzi with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you ready?" ”

"It's almost ready," Li sat down in the courtyard of An Manyue with a smile, watching the people in the courtyard busy, and smiled from ear to ear, "I was just thinking about going to your house in the afternoon and asking that child from the Su family to come over to help make the banquet, but it happened that you came." ”

"I just want to go together, I think my sister-in-law must be busy here, so I asked the third daughter-in-law to come over to help, she is young, and she has to learn hard with the elders." An Manyue knew that Su's cooking skills were among the best in the village, and she also taught Su's Xincai a few days ago, which just happened to let Su's show his hand.

"Let Su Shi make the banquet, I can rest assured," Li said this, the smile on his face froze a little, and asked worriedly, "I heard that your boss fell his leg?" ”

An Manyue went out today, just to respond positively to Ning Zeren's falling leg, listening to Li's question, sighed, and said: "The boss has been very nervous these days, saying that he must get a good score in the exam, and he will read books day and night, and the result will be ......."

Li's face became solemn, and he echoed: "Yes, people can't be nervous, you can comfort your boss when you go back." ”

"The boss fell his leg but calmed down, saying that it would be okay to take the exam again next year, maybe he can get a good ranking next year," An Manyue said with a smile, seeing that the Li family also smiled, he pulled the topic to the eldest son of the Li family, Yang Dahe, and asked with a smile, "Is the stool we sit on Dahe beat?" ”

Yang Dahe studied with a carpenter master when he was a child, and he also had a talent in that area, and I heard that he could sell a set of tables and chairs for ten taels of silver.

"yes, he's going to hit this little thing." Li said modestly.

"What's this little thing?" An Manyue touched the stool under his buttocks, which felt much better than the stools at home, "This stool is really good, Dahe's craftsmanship is really good, and the masters in the town can't compare to him!" ”

Li smiled a little reluctantly, and quickly turned around, laughing and chatting with An Manyue about other things.

……

Yang Dahe came on the day of marriage, An Manyue got up early to clean up and rushed towards the Yang family with the Ning family.

The Ning family did not come out except for the two members of the big house, everyone else changed into new clothes, the big head was wearing cyan clothes today, and the younger sister Xiangxiang was wearing floral clothes, and her hair was brushed beautifully, just like a doll running out of a painting.

An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan walked in the front.

Ning Yongchuan glanced at An Manyue beside him, frowned slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Hand!" ”

After An Manyue, he consciously handed his hand to Ning Yongchuan, there is another reason why the people in the village do not want to see the Ning family, that is, the original Ning Yongchuan is also a spoiled wife, as long as the two of them go out, they must be holding hands and loving me, but this act of showing affection has aroused the spurning of the whole village.

The men in the village disliked Ning Yongchuan for being kind to An Manyue, completely because they would take Ning Yongchuan as an example every day when they went home and their daughter-in-law, and their heads exploded when they heard it.

The women in the village are envious, jealous and hateful to An Manyue, just think about it, everyone is a country girl, why can she get the favor of men when she is full moon, and their men dislike them for being ugly all day long?

An Manyue raised her eyes and glanced at the man beside her, his big hand just wrapped her little hand perfectly, and she was warmed by his hand, she said hesitantly: "Let's not hold hands, otherwise we will definitely stabilize the hatred of the people in the village." ”

"What if we let go and they suspect that we are fake?" Ning Yongchuan asked in a low voice that only two people could hear.

An Manyue was exhausted and said, "Let's hold it!" ”

Soon arrived at Yang Lizheng's house, the old gentleman at the gate of the courtyard is an old Xiucai in the village, this old Xiucai used to be a master when he was young, and then for some reason, he was dismissed back to his hometown, and Mr. Xiucai, who was alone, never married a wife and had children, and helped the people in the village write things and keep accounts on weekdays, and also took over the work of copying books, so as not to starve to death.

Ning Yongchuan walked up to the old gentleman with An Manyue, Ning Yongchuan took out his purse and handed it over, and his voice was cold: "Old gentleman, our family's share of money." ”

Lao Xiucai nodded, clicked on it and then memorized it, wrote the word "Ning", he raised his eyes to look at An Manyue, his eyes were pale, and his eyes became strange, "What's your name?" ”

An Manyue looked at Lao Xiucai hesitantly and said, "An Manyue." ”

Lao Xiucai looked at An Manyue carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like, how could there be someone in this world who looked exactly like his wife?

"How old are you this year?"

An Manyue looked down at the records of human relations, and there didn't seem to be any age written on it, but she still answered honestly: "Twenty-four." ”

Twenty-four.

Lao Xiucai muttered in his heart, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that An Manyue was familiar, but it was impossible to think about it, if it was really a young lady, how could a young lady marry into the countryside, it must look alike.

"What's wrong, sir?" An Manyue felt that there was something wrong with Lao Xiucai's eyes, and called softly.

Lao Xiucai came back to his senses and realized that there were still people who saluted behind, so he just suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "It's nothing." ”

An Manyue followed Ning Yongchuan into the Yang family's compound, because the male guests and female relatives had to share the table, so the two had to be separated.

"Something call me." Ning Yongchuan looked at An Manyue uneasily, he felt that there was something strange about Lao Xiucai, and he was worried that someone would be unfavorable to An Manyue.

"Ning Xiucai, it's just a meal, why are you so worried about your daughter-in-law?" It was Sister-in-law Sun who spoke, and she had a very loud voice on weekdays, so it was best to gossip.

As soon as Sister-in-law Sun's words came out, the people around her laughed, and they joked one by one that Ning Yongchuan's eyes were on An Manyue.

An Manyue's face flushed with shame.

Ning Yongchuan was calm, and said generously: "Well, my eyes can only see my lady!" ”

After Su Wan'er, who was sitting in the crowd, heard Ning Yongchuan's voice, she raised her eyes and saw a man who was as light as ink, his heart was slightly rippling......
