Chen Ning led the way in front, didn't notice Sheng Qingqing's reaction, and was still introducing the scenery along the road, and from time to time pointed out the preciousness of a few rare flowers and plants.

Sheng Qingqing was still a little depressed at first, but the more she listened to it, the more strange she felt, and she only felt that Chen Ning seemed to be a little too wordy today. It wasn't the first time she had come into contact with Chen Ning, this young man had a soft temper and didn't look like someone who could show off at all. But today, along the way, his babbling mouth has not stopped, not only the scenery along the road, but also as if he wants to describe all the precious and valuable things to them one by one.

It's weird......

Sheng Qingqing endured it, but she didn't ask this doubt in her heart. After all, there are people who ask for it, and it is still inappropriate to ask such a slap in the face.

Fortunately, Chen Ning gradually seemed to notice the inappropriateness of his behavior, and in the second half, he reduced the words of "showing off" and buried himself in taking them to their destination.

It wasn't even a courtyard, it covered a huge area, and it looked more like a palace from a distance. The main hall is full of side halls, and it looks extremely luxurious.

Sheng Siming was calm and didn't show his amazement, but Sheng Zhizhi was already stupid, opened his mouth, and didn't close it for a long time.

When a few people walked to the gate of the hall, someone went in to spread the word, and it seemed that they had been notified a long time ago.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man walk out of the hall and walk quickly to this side.

This person is wearing an ink-colored Confucian shirt, his hair is half white, his hair is long and his chest is long, and he is tied to a Taoist crown, looking like a fairy, not like a scholar, but more like a cultivator.

Sheng Qingqing thought that this might not be close at first, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that the middle-aged man was smiling amiably.

"Chen Gongzi, I heard that my apprentice is here!?"

Chen Ning couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly briefed both sides on the situation.

didn't introduce it too clearly, Sheng Qingqing only listened to a rough idea, knowing that this gentleman's surname was Xing, and he was from the capital, and he heard that before he was a scholar, he even taught the prince and the princess to read.

O prince and princess! can have a little bit to do with the royal family, it is enough for people to brag for a long time, not to mention that this Mr. Xing is a teacher who can be regarded as a prince and princess.

Sheng Zhizhi's dirt bun had just come back to his senses, and he was stunned again.

Sheng Qingqing and Sheng Siming frowned in unison.

After living in modern times for more than 20 years, Sheng Qingqing is not afraid of the so-called imperial power, let alone has any longing. For her, in addition to "wealth" and "power", the royal family represents more of the word "trouble".

People who have revenge are willing to deal with powerful people more, but Sheng Qingqing thinks that their family does not have the ability to climb the branches now.

What's more, this Mr. Xing has taught the prince and the princess, can he still put down his body and be willing to sincerely teach Sheng Siming, an ordinary child from the countryside who has no power and power?

Although this Teacher Xing was specially arranged, Cheng Qinghe personally explained that he would not put forward any opinions to Sheng Siming on his face, and his words were very kind and charitable. But no one knows what he thinks in his heart, and what about a short time and goodness, and a long time?

Although he has not yet apprenticed, Sheng Qingqing has already made up 10,000 words of Sheng Siming's insulted biography.

Sheng Siming tugged at the corners of her clothes, her face was not very good-looking, and she obviously had similar thoughts.

It's a pity that Chen Ning didn't seem to notice their sister and brother's thoughts at all, and still talked and laughed with that Mr. Xing with a smile, and said after a while: "It's not too early, does Mr. want to take the school exam for your disciple?" ”

This is quite ordinary, even if an ordinary scholar accepts an apprentice, he must first study the apprentice. To put it bluntly, it is to find out what the foundation of this new apprentice is, whether he is too stupid. If you are too stupid and don't have the slightest understanding, then you will definitely not be able to accept it. And if you are more intelligent, this survey can also let the teacher know the situation of his disciples, so that he can teach them according to their aptitude in the future.

Mr. Xing was not unhappy, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" ”

Then Sheng Siming was taken by him to the main hall.

I don't know what Mr. Xing wants to take the school exam, but he doesn't allow others to watch, and even Chen Ning is turned away by him.

A cadre of people waited outside the temple.

Fortunately, it didn't take long.

After about a stick of incense, he saw Sheng Siming coming out of the main hall, Mr. Xing followed behind him, with that smile on his face, and he didn't seem to have any unswerving color, Sheng Siming's expression was a little strange, as if something couldn't figure it out.

Sheng Siming walked to Sheng Qingqing's side in a few steps and said in a low voice, "Eldest sister, I'm fine." ”

Sheng Qingqing was a little nervous, but she was relieved to see him like this.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Mr. Xing over there had already commented on Sheng Siming's performance just now, and said categorically at the end: "This disciple and old man have been accepted!" ”

Sheng Qingqing tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little unable to tell if he was acting in front of Chen Ning.

"Mr. Xing seems to like Brother Ling very much, Miss Sheng doesn't have to worry." Chen Ning said with a smile.

His words are not compliments, Sheng Qingqing doesn't know Mr. Xing, but he does. This looks kind, but there are a lot of literati in his bones, otherwise he wouldn't have been so young, precisely because he couldn't stand those pickled things in Beijing. If Sheng Siming is not enough for him to like, then Cheng Qinghe will personally go out and will not let Mr. Xing change his mind.

And listening to what Mr. Xing said, Sheng Siming's performance just now was indeed very good, even if he hadn't learned a few words, he still behaved generously, and he was not inferior. And Sheng Siming is indeed very smart, a little mention of it, you can draw inferences.

Not to mention Mr. Xing, it is Chen Ning himself, who also has a good impression of Sheng Siming.

Her younger brother was praised, and Sheng Qingqing was also honored, but she still said a few polite words, only saying that Mr. Xing did not dislike Yunyun, and it could be regarded as a compliment to that gentleman.

Mr. Xing is indeed a gentle-tempered and easy-talking person, he doesn't care at all that Sheng Qingqing is young and ignorant, he talks to her a lot very kindly, and even asks Sheng Siming about some preferences. It looks like he is really very concerned about himself, a "disciple who enters the room".

Since he has already apprenticed, it means that Sheng Siming is going to stay in the Cheng family.

"Miss Sheng is also going to leave today, so let Siming move here." Chen Ning proposed.

Sheng Qingqing has no opinion, this is someone else's home, and it is not a bad thing for the master's family to arrange it like this.

Sheng Siming has no opinion, if he has always been going to school by himself, he will have to endure hardships, and now he can live in a mansion and enjoy a luxurious life, which is something he can't even think of in his dreams.

Only Sheng Zhizhi looked a little sad, but all she cared about was that her younger brother was leaving home, and she wouldn't see this matter in the future.

Several people tacitly skipped Sheng Zhizhi's opinion.

"From then on, Siming will ask Mr. and Chen Gongzi to take care of it more." Sheng Qingqing said solemnly.

Chen Ning was also solemn, "I should live up to the girl's entrustment." ”

Mr. Xing also responded with a smile, "Siming is my only disciple, a disciple is like a son, and the old man can count on Siming to retire in the future!" ”

This witty remark caused everyone to laugh.

Sheng Qingqing was even more relieved in her heart. In addition to the insecurity of the Cheng family, what she was worried about before was whether the master arranged by Cheng Qinghe would be very strict and make Sheng Siming suffer when the time came. But now seeing that this Mr. Xing is so kind and kind, there is no need to worry too much.

Chen Ning instructed his subordinates to put Sheng Siming's salute in the east hall, which was the closest to the main hall, so that Sheng Siming could go to the main hall to study in the future.

Chen Ning's consideration is undoubtedly very appropriate.

Sheng Qingqing also admitted his feelings, and when he left, he secretly gave him a small strawberry.

Of course, this strawberry is filled with spring water, and it comes from a "fairy thing".

As for whether it will arouse the suspicion of others because of this "immortal thing", Sheng Qingqing can't care about it. If she was suspected, she was already suspected when she took out the box of strawberries, not to mention that she invited Chen Ning to drink several pots of tea later......

The so-called debts are not worried, lice are too many to bite, nothing more than that.

Thinking of this, Sheng Qingqing was still a little proud. She is now hugging the golden thigh of the Cheng family, and before Cheng Qinghe has no way to get 100% of the "immortal things", the Cheng family will definitely protect her. If other people come to compete for "immortal things", they must first go through the family.

But these ten miles and eight towns, within a radius of a hundred miles, is there a force stronger than the Cheng family?

No! Even the pretentious and despised shopkeeper Wan had to bow his head in front of Cheng Qinghe.

And when Sheng Siming came out in the future, became famous in the exam, and became a big official, she would find a way to throw away the golden thigh of the Cheng family. There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just perfect!

"Sister said this time I can't find a solution once and for all." Sheng Qingqing said with a smile.

Sheng Zhizhi rarely sat there honestly, and was at a loss when she heard this, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”

Sheng Qingqing touched her head with a smile, "It's okay, you can play with yours." ”

Chen Ning is really a very proper person, he can see that Sheng Zhizhi is a girl who likes to play around, so although he didn't personally send their sisters back this time, he put a lot of things on the carriage.

Most of them are children's favorite toys, Sheng Qingqing is not interested, but Sheng Zhizhi obviously likes it very much, her small mouth is like wiping honey, and she called "Brother Chen" several times, and she wanted to take these toys home.

Although there are a lot of small toys, they are not valuable things, and Chen Ning naturally will not refuse this request.

Sheng Zhizhi played with these toys with great interest, and then said very proudly: "I will definitely bring them back to show them, so that they will drool greedily!" ”

Sheng Qingqing couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it. But she didn't know how Sheng Zhizhi's group of children played around on weekdays, so she didn't stop it.

Children in the countryside are like this, they are not delicate, even if they fight, they can be as good as a person in the blink of an eye.
