At that time, Ning Yucheng was still young, and he asked Ning Wanran with a pair of big eyes pitifully: "But Sister Ah has always let Cheng'er, and she will give Cheng'er all the delicious and delicious food, and she will also sew clothes for Cheng'er with her own hands, and make eight-treasure sweet cheese for Cheng'er to eat." ”

At that time, Yuan Qingxuan was still a young man in the age of dancing and the son-in-law of the Yuan Mansion, so he would not be as embarrassed as Ning Wanran's sister and brother.

At that time, Ning Wanran was only eight or nine years old, but he caressed Ning Yucheng's head lovingly and said, "Because you are my younger brother and I am your sister, I will naturally give you all the good things." ”

Ning Yucheng then tilted his head and asked Ning Wanran: "Then why can't Sister let Cheng'er on the chessboard?" ”

Although Ning Wanran was only eight or nine years old at that time, because of his quiet temperament, he couldn't make a fuss like Ning Yucheng, and he couldn't calm down the most on weekdays, and he only thought about playing around all day, either going up to the tree to dig the bird's nest, or squatting under the tree and counting the ants, throwing all the homework that the master taught him out of the clouds.

Ning Yu loves to play when he is an adult, and he can't calm down to study, but the fifth aunt doesn't force him, the fifth aunt has always been timid and cowardly, and she only hopes that a pair of children can grow up safely, and she doesn't want Ning Yucheng to be too top-notch, which makes Bai's heart unhappy.

Although the fifth aunt did not expect Ning Yu to become a talent, after all, he was the only son in the Zuo Xiang's mansion, even if he was going through the motions, the Bai family would invite Mr. Teacher to teach him his homework. Although Bai Ming invited Mr. Teacher for Ning Yucheng, he was a little uneasy in private, afraid that the fifth aunt would point at Ning Yucheng and turn over, and urged him to work hard in his studies day and night.

It was precisely because the fifth aunt saw that the Bai family was not as virtuous and virtuous as it appeared that she deliberately indulged Ning Yucheng in climbing trees and fishing all day long, and the sky was muddy.

After a long time, the Bai family saw that Ning Yucheng had no intention of learning at all, thinking that he was probably also a dou who couldn't be helped, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance against the fifth aunt's Cuiwei Pavilion.

Ning Yucheng is an active character, but Ning Wanran is happy, the old master accepted the Bai family's money, and naturally he wanted to teach Ning Yucheng the full stomach of talent in Cuiwei Pavilion, but it was not the sixth son Ning Yucheng who listened carefully, but the fifth lady Ning Wanran, no matter who it was, as long as the old master taught his homework every day, he could be regarded as living up to the Bai family's trust.

Ning Wanran has loved to read since she was a child, and she can read and hyphenate words, so she can naturally understand what the old master taught, Bai only asked people to keep an eye on Ning Yucheng, but she didn't tell people to keep an eye on Ning Wanran, so Ning Wanran didn't know about Ning Yucheng's lectures from beginning to end.

It is precisely because the Bai family only guarded against Ning Yucheng, the only son of the Zuo Xiangfu, and did not send people to pay attention to Ning Wanran, that Ning Wanran at that time was able to teach Ning Yucheng what he had learned when no one was paying attention, and then patiently taught Ning Yucheng, which is why Ning Yucheng seems to be climbing trees and fishing all day long, but his foundation is very solid, otherwise he would not have been praised by the master for being teachable after entering the Yuan Mansion for a few months.

Even if the Bai family calculates thousands of calculations and precautions, they fail to calculate that Ning Yucheng is just being told by the fifth aunt to know how to be clumsy, but in fact, he is not a straw bag as he seems, and he actually has real talent and learning inside.

"Cheng'er, my sister taught you that a gentleman has something to do and something not to do." Ning Wanran didn't blame Ning Yucheng, but patiently guided him, "Cheng'er, now you are the only gentleman in the Zuo Xiangfu, and you will naturally make contributions in the future, instead of being trapped in the backyard of the Zuo Xiangfu like my sister." ”

"But my aunt said that she only hopes that Cheng'er and her sister can grow up safely, and she doesn't want Cheng'er to make contributions when she grows up." The fifth aunt was afraid that the Bai family would be unfavorable to Ning Wanran and Ning Yucheng, so she often mentioned him beside Ning Yucheng, not wanting him to be too good and obedient, and to know how to hide it.

"Auntie is right." Ning Wanran looked at Ning Yucheng, who was a little puzzled, and said, "My aunt doesn't want you to be sharp, so you just stay in the corner of Zuo Xiangfu, but your ability is your own, and my sister hopes that you are really clumsy, not really useless." ”

Ning Wanran has always been the most well-behaved and quiet character, and the fifth aunt's teaching is naturally in her heart, but the knowledge she grew from reading on weekdays made her have a different mind from the fifth aunt, she thinks that Ning Yucheng, as a man, should live in the world like a sage, instead of being like a peddler's pawn, get by, and live a mediocre life.

People say that the age of three is set for life, and the fifth aunt is afraid that the Bai family will attack Ning Yucheng, so she hopes that he can spend his life in mediocrity, even if he loses the integrity of a man, but he can save his life after all.

After understanding those truths, Ning Wanran naturally didn't want to watch her only younger brother become a mediocre peddler pawn, so she took some of the principles of life behind her back and taught Ning Yucheng all the things in the famous books and classics left by the sages.

Ning Yucheng looked at Ning Wanran, and suddenly smiled and said: "Yucheng listened to Sister A, and Yucheng felt that what Sister said was more reasonable than what Aunt taught her." ”

At that time, Yuan Qingxuan, seeing that Ning Wanran, who was a few years younger than himself, could realize that truth, he was already ashamed in his heart that although he had read so many sage books, it was because he lived too comfortably, and he did not have such a deep understanding as Ning Wanran.

It was only after Yuan Qingxuan heard Ning Wanran's remarks that he persuaded Ning Yucheng in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion that he had the epiphany of enlightenment, and this was the only way he had a bright future in the eyes of others in the future.

It was also from that moment that Yuan Qingxuan already had a good impression of Ning Wanran, but he was fashionable and young, and he didn't know where that good feeling came from, until he got older, and Yuan Qingxuan understood that the so-called good impression was in response to the sentence in the Book of Poetry: My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman.

Yuan Qingxuan, who understood his intentions, has been silently waiting for Ning Wanran to grow up, waiting for her to ask a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage when she is young.

Although Yuan Qingxuan is already deeply rooted in his love for Ning Wanran, he knows that he can't affect Ning Wanran's reputation because of his own selfish desires, so even if Yuan Qingxuan is friendly with Su Mowen, even if the young Su Mowen often goes in and out of Zuo Xiang's mansion, Yuan Qingxuan has no excuse to disturb Ning Wanran's life.
