In the afternoon, Ning Ruicheng and Ning Ruiwan, who returned from the mansion of the eldest princess of Jiyang, really found Zhuo Zhaojie to ask for news, Zhuo Zhaojie had confirmed that the matter of the 'waiter' knocking on the 'door' last night, and the fact that the Marquis of Yongcheng and Ning Shaobi entered the palace overnight had not spread - even if there were spies other than Ning Juan in the Hou Mansion, but now that the big house has lost power, Ning Juan's example is so bloody, not everyone in this world is willing to take the family after all' Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the two sisters who were sad but had hope in this sorrow, settled down, and said calmly: "There is no news today." ”

Although Ning Ruicheng and Ning Ruiwan guessed when they came in, they were still very disappointed when they heard her say this, so Ning Ruicheng said: "Last time, the ninth brother and sister said, before we listened to Ning Shunzhong's words and came over, the second uncle begged the sage to send someone to Jiannan?" Why haven't you said anything so far? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie knew that she was 'shrewd', so he didn't explain it for her, but only 'revealed' the 'color' of embarrassment, and said: "I don't know about this, but at that time, the sage sent a 'waiter' to escort the imperial doctor to Jiannan-I will know about this matter when I go out to investigate." ”

Sure enough, Ning Ruicheng saw that she didn't give Jiannan a reason for not reciprocating for a long time, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The ninth brother and sister are serious, how can I not believe you?" I guess there's something delaying there. ”

"The two imperial physicians sent by the saint are good at healing miasma." Zhuo Zhaojie persuaded at this time, "But the urgent report I heard before is that not only the eldest uncle and aunt over there, but also the brothers and sisters-in-law are also sick, maybe there are too many sick people, and they are busy over there and can't spare time to recover?" ”

No matter how it is said that it is also sent by the saints, the imperial doctor can't vacate the time, and the others, the 'guards' and the local officials can't make this time?

Ning Ruicheng frowned and said, "The local subordinate officials don't have an explanation, it's really strange. ”

"It's not surprising that the subordinate officials don't play." Zhuo Zhaojie said slowly, "Before, when the news of the eldest uncle's accident reached Chang'an, the sage was very angry. He made his uncle and his family sick! When the 'attendants' and the imperial physician went south, why didn't they bring the words with them, so that the officials over there could be more vigilant? I think the subordinate officials over there must have to wait until the eldest uncle and they all got better, so they would dare to play. ”

Ning Ruicheng was thoughtful, although she was a 'female' son, the Qu family she married was also a member of Shannan, and she was no stranger to the Taoism of these magistrates. If Zhuo Zhaojie said so, it can be explained that there is no news from Jiannan's side for a while, because of the illness of Ning Zhan and others, the officials of Jiannan have lost their sacred hearts, which will of course be in a hurry to redeem the impression in the minds of the saints.

To redeem it, of course, it is to try its best to save Ning Zhan's family, and only if Ning Zhan and others are well-treated, can they have any hope of making meritorious contributions. Not to mention, behind Ning Zhan, there is also a strong eldest princess.

And if Ning Zhan and these people are not well, the 'waiter' guard will return first, I am afraid that the saint will worry about his sister getting up, and he will be even more angry with the officials of Jiannan. Therefore, for the sake of his own future, Jiannan's side tried to buy the 'guards' and the imperial doctor for the time being...... Or even a little more daring, deliberately obstructing returns...... In this way, after Ning Zhan's family improved, the officials of Jiannan played a confession and asked for guilt at the same time, so that the punishment of the saint was naturally much lighter.

Although it is also possible that the saint has not received the news for a long time, and then sent someone to Jian Nan to inquire in a hurry, or even more annoyed by the delay in Jian Nan's news - but who knows what Jian Nan's side thinks?

Such an official who took risks in order to keep his official position, Ning Ruicheng has not seen it in Jiannan.

She turned her mind a few times, but in the end she still chose to think about the good, and said: "These people are so bold, for their own future, they even disregard the holy order!" Aren't you afraid of 'making it self-defeating', but misleading yourself? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie heard the anticipation in her tone—hoping that it was true—so he smiled slightly, and said, "This time, the eldest uncle, they have suffered such a great sin, and the officials there still think about it?" They are also desperate. Now everyone is worried about the eldest uncle and them, and no one has the heart to say anything about it, when the eldest uncle and them are well, even if our grandmother doesn't say anything, the saint and the queen mother can't spare them! If they don't struggle now, how can they be reconciled? ”

Since Ning Ruicheng was willing to believe this explanation in his heart, he felt more and more that this was indeed the case: "It's true, it's good, how could my father and them all fall ill - speaking of which, although Ning Shunzhong doesn't know what's going on, since he was able to go to Shannan to find me, the 'spirit' spirit is also good, and he is not young at his age, why is he fine, his father and mother don't say it, Erlang them, but he is in the prime of life, but he is sick?" Could it be that the officials there deliberately pointed out a house near the miasma for my father to live in? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself, these are not the sins of your mother? It's just a matter of creating evil, forgetting that 'sex' is still so big, and I don't want to think about Ning Han and Ning Xi, two good Guogong Mansion Langjun, I didn't say how rich and noble I was in this life, but it was okay to have no worries about food and clothing in a lifetime, and it was okay to ask for a son and a 'daughter' to become a pair, but what did it look like for Ou's practice?

Even if he enjoys the brocade clothes and 'jade' food of the Guogong Mansion, he doesn't know how much he can survive in this life, and the son and daughter are even more hopeless...... Such a big feud, when he was in Chang'an, Ou Shi didn't take them seriously, and he could still say that everything would be under her control, Ning Han and Ning Xi couldn't carry their hands on their shoulders, and they couldn't lift it, and they couldn't do anything if they had no power or power.

When I arrived in Jiannan, there were not enough people, so I supported my concubine and sister-in-law - I even 'handed over' such an important place as eating to them, where is this arrogance, I don't treat Ning Han and Ning Xi as people at all, these two people who don't have much time to do, both know that their biological mother and themselves are destroyed in the hands of Ou Shi, and if they have the opportunity, they don't start, it's too angry 'sex' - is this still a human being?

But of course, these words can't be said to Ning Ruicheng and Ning Ruiwan, Zhuo Zhaojie said: "I don't think the officials will have such courage, it's just that I heard that the houses where the exiles live have not been lived in for a long time, I don't know if it has something to do with this." ”

He said, "Since Ning Shunzhong deceived you, eldest sister, I wonder if he accompanied his eldest uncle to Jiannan...... I'm afraid it's hard to say. ”

Ning Ruicheng's face changed when he heard this, and said, "This may not be nothing...... Hey! I was preconceived and always thought that he really accompanied his father and mother to Jiannan! ”

"This person is also looking at it now." Zhuo Zhaojie said, she thought about how to lead the topic to Xu Huai's 'jade', and paused before saying, "This matter has passed, and Jiannan still doesn't know how many people will be removed...... The department will open next year, but it is just the right time to choose people to add, and I think these people are just dying and struggling to 'play' some clever tricks now. ”

Hearing the word Kaike, Ning Ruiwan was attracted to attention and sighed slightly.

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Why did the fourth sister sigh? The fourth brother-in-law is expected to end up next year? ”

Xu Huai's 'jade' has been out twice, and he has never been hit, and the gap from the last place is not small, Ning Ruiwan thought that the chance encounter with him was destined by God, and she did not hesitate to beg in front of her grandmother and mother to marry into the Xu family. In the past few years, Xu Huai's 'jade' has not been on the list, not only that, but the two of them don't even have a son and a half 'daughter', although Xu Huai's 'jade' treats Ning Ruiwan well, but it is impossible to say that there is no regret in his heart.

Ning Ruiwan refused to listen to Ou's words and reconciled with Xu Huai's 'jade', what she thought was that whether she had a child or Xu Huai's 'jade' was on the list, it would be good to lose one of the two things.

Now that Zhuo Zhaojie said that she would open the department, Ning Ruiwan couldn't help but think that her husband had been studying hard all these years, looking forward to the title of the gold list one day, but he failed on the list the first two times, and he will ...... next year I don't know what will happen next year?

At this moment, after listening to Zhuo Zhaojie's words, her face was a little unsightly, and she said, "It should be." She felt that Zhuo Zhaojie deliberately mentioned Xu Huai's 'jade', which was inevitably a little ridiculed, so she retorted, "The matter of scientific examination, it is difficult to say whether it is in or not, I remember the fiancé of a cousin of the ninth brother and sister, as if he was Xie Yuan of Moling Mansion, who was very good at learning, but it happened that he was weak and fainted in the examination room...... It's a shame. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie heard the sarcasm in her words, but her top priority now was not to let the two sisters think that Ning Zhan's side was no longer good, but she didn't care about quarreling with Ning Ruiwan, she just smiled slightly, and said: "Fourth sister, don't worry too much, I just thought that one of my cousins will go back to Qi County to participate in the autumn exam in a few days, and I am thinking about sending him something to use on the road these days, so I asked casually." ”

Ning Ruiwan also regretted a little after her words, she was not a mean person, not to mention Song Weiyi's failure, others were probably sorry rather than gloating, after all, Moling Xie Yuan's strength was there, and Song Weiyi was very young, waiting for another three years, it would be impossible to take care of her body this time and then faint in the examination room?

If Zhuo Zhaojie wants to refute, he has everything to say, after all, compared to Xu Huai's 'jade' who failed the exam twice, Song Weiyi is unlucky at most, and Xu Huai's 'jade' is a ready-made joke that he is not good at school.

Seeing that Zhuo Zhaojie not only did not ridicule each other with his 'lips', but also explained, Ning Ruiwan was also a little sneering, knowing that she had failed the list twice because of Xu Huai's 'jade', and she was too sensitive to hear too much gossip from her mother Ou's, so she asked casually: "I seem to have heard of it, it's your aunt's only son?" Why is the autumn exam back to Qi County? Didn't you come from Moling? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said: "Fourth sister doesn't know, my cousin's father died early, and my little sister-in-law was a concubine, after he went, my little aunt took my cousin Ren alone in her husband's house, so she took him back to her mother's house. Over the years, Cousin Ren has also grown up in You's family, but his household registration is still in Qi County, according to our Daliang Law, the Shizi Township test must be conducted in his hometown, so he naturally has to go back to Qi County to take the test. ”

Ning Ruiwan's eyes showed a hint of envy and said, "The senior apprentice of Huaixing Academy, where are you afraid?" ”

"Speaking of knowing from the two cousins, we don't worry about Cousin Ren in this township test, but we are worried about things other than the township test." Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head and said, "My little brother-in-law didn't seem to be very liked by his mother-in-law in the past, and the Ren family didn't like my cousin very much, so I was afraid that this time my cousin would be angry, but since I went back to my hometown, I couldn't help but go to the Ren family?" So this time, my father and mother were wondering if they should invite someone to accompany him besides my third brother? ”

Ning Ruicheng smiled faintly and said, "If Jiulang is free, let Jiulang accompany your cousin, I guarantee that the Ren family can only endure if they want to say sour words!" I'm afraid you are reluctant to part with Jiulang. ”

"Big sister!" Zhuo Zhaojie didn't expect Ning Ruicheng to come to such a flying immortal, his face suddenly turned red, and he thought for a moment before he said, "I thought that you have always been very serious, eldest sister!" ”

Ning Ruicheng smiled and said, "Why am I not serious?" If you are willing to go and talk to Jiulang, I see that he listens to you for everything, and I have never seen him so obedient again. ”

"I won't tell you to my eldest sister." Zhuo Zhaojie glared at her, turned his head and continued to say to Ning Rui, "Now the brothers of the Zhuo family, my third cousin and fourth cousin are also going back to Moling to go to the township for a test, and I can't accompany my cousin Ren to Qi County. Now I am the only one who can vacate the space. My father and mother thought that my third brother wouldn't be able to take care of him when the time came, fourth sister, you know, you can't pinch Chenguang and enter the examination room as soon as he arrives in Qi County? In the end, I want to go back to the Ren family to say goodbye to the elders first, but when the time comes, I am afraid that the Ren family will not speak well - my cousin Ren died early because of his father, and my little aunt died four years ago, and my heart is very sad, I am afraid that I will be 'confused' by the words! ”

Ning Ruiwan nodded frequently with empathy: "Isn't it?" The scientific examination is a major event of a lifetime, if you listen to bad words before the end, your heart is blocked, and you will always be affected after the end, sometimes you may not be able to learn, but you will ......."

Ning Ruicheng glared, Ning Ruiwan realized that she had lost her mouth, and stopped her mouth sullenly-Zhuo Zhaojie smiled secretly, and said in his heart that Xu Huai's 'jade' had at least once failed to make the list because he listened to Ou's sour words before the end, and it was really a headache to have such a mother-in-law or mother-in-law.
