Chapter 1: The Disaster of Innocence
"Ning Jian, you get out of here!"
The butler kicked the wooden door of the door and scolded loudly.
In the concierge hut, a young man was wearing a doorman's clothes, with the word 'Ning' embroidered on his chest, and looked at Wang Degui, the housekeeper who suddenly rushed in, with an expressionless face.
"Hmph, follow me!" Wang Degui threw his sleeves away, and Ning Jian had no choice but to follow.
The two of them came to a wing room in the inner courtyard of Ningfu not long ago, and at this time, the maids who came in and out of the door were extremely busy.
From the house, Mrs. cried heartbreakingly, "My poor son, how do you feel, my mother is so distressed~~~"
The housekeeper stepped forward and stood at the door to make an announcement, and the crying in the room gradually stopped. A graceful and rich woman wiped her tears and was helped out by the maid.
Mrs. Ning glanced at Ning Jian in the courtyard, and the grief of the previous moment immediately turned into indignation, pointing at him and scolding.
"You little brute who killed a thousand knives! Look at what happened to the eldest young master who was killed by you now!"
Ning Jian lowered his head and replied, "Mrs. Hui, I only found the eldest young master lying at the door this morning. ”
"Fart!"
"I have already sent someone to the Liu Mansion to ask, last night the son of the Liu family personally sent the eldest young master back to the gate of the mansion. You must be lazy and sleepy at night, and dare to quibble!"
"How dare you, dare to leave my son out all night in such a cold winter. ”
"My poor son, when my mother thinks of you being hungry and cold outside the door last night, my mother is .......... heart."
Mrs. Ning wiped away her tears as she spoke.
Ning Jian stood in the courtyard at this time, thinking, "When I found your stupid son in the morning, he was still sleeping there full of alcohol. I must have drunk too much last night, and I didn't even know to knock on the door when I got to the door, and I deserved to be cold. Besides, I only suffered a little bit of wind and cold, as for such a fuss. ”
"Madam, things are not ....."
"You thing, you still want to talk back. ”
"Wang Degui, what are you still doing standing there! Pull this kid down for me and punish him with a cane for twenty ..... No, forty boards!"
"Deduct his monthly money for another three months, if the eldest young master is not in good health, I want him to pay for his life!"
The housekeeper, who was scolded repeatedly, pushed Ning Jian with hatred on his face and came to the front hall.
"Call me!"
A small servant hurriedly picked up the three-finger-thick cane and pressed Ning Jian on the stone pier to start punishing.
Ning Jian had lived in Ning Mansion for thirteen years, and he had long known their virtues, and he would never give himself any chance to explain.
His hands clenched into fists, his teeth gritted, and he felt the hot pain in his buttocks.
The little guy in charge of the cane's responsibility, while the housekeeper was not paying attention, said softly to Ning Jian: "You shout a few times, so that the housekeeper and the lady can hear it and dissipate their anger." ”
Ning Jian still didn't say a word, trying his best to endure it.
Wang Degui saw that Ning Jian was like this, and he was even more angry.
"I haven't eaten, I'll be beaten to death!"
After listening to this, the little guy had to increase the strength in his hand.
In the empty courtyard, only the sound of a heavy blow echoed.
After half a pillar of incense, after the forty boards were played, Ning Jian did not say a word from beginning to end.
Seeing that the housekeeper was leaving with hatred, the little servant hurriedly picked up Ning Jian, who was already unconscious, and sent him back to the concierge.
....................
In the dim light, a figure was lying on the bed.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts. ”
"You finally woke up, and when I came back, I was scared to see you so unconscious. ”
A young man of the same age as Ning Jian brought a bowl of soup and medicine and handed it to him.
Ning Jian moved his body slightly, and there was a heart-rending pain in his hips.
Drinking the bitter medicinal soup, he glanced at the man, "If I hadn't changed shifts with you, I wouldn't have been involved in this." ”
The young man's name is Dongshun, and he is also in charge of the gatehouse of Ningfu together with Ning Jian.
"Yes, yes, great benefactor. If it weren't for you, I would have been killed there. ”
"Having said that, where have you practiced martial arts all day long, doesn't it mean that the martial arts are strong and invulnerable, so you will faint. ”
In the early years, the house invited a master to teach the two sons to practice martial arts, and Ning Jian also secretly learned and practiced on the side, relying on the cold and summer to practice diligently, and now he is also a martial artist.
Ning Jian replied: "Invulnerability, that's because you've heard too much, the whole forty boards, and any martial artist is like this." ”
Dongshun took the empty bowl after drinking, and said while cleaning it up: "When I first entered the house five years ago, I listened to those grandmothers talk in private, saying that you ..........."
"Say that you are the widow of the deceased old lady, and even the old man has to call you brother according to your generation. ”
"To be honest, I was a little overwhelmed when I first saw you. ”
Dongshun chuckled: "Now it seems that it is completely, just Ning Jian's miserable appearance, no one will believe it." ”
Ning Jian listened to this, his eyes wandered.
As far as he knew, Old Lady Ning, who went out to wander thirteen years ago, hugged a three-month-old baby when she returned to the mansion and raised it, which was Ning Jian herself.
It's no wonder that there are these rumors, after all, even he used to have doubts, but the old lady personally told him that his biological parents were someone else, and he was just raising them on his behalf.
The old lady took care of Ning Jian in every way when he was alive, and Ning Jian once regarded this Ning Mansion as his home.
But since the old lady died, the old man Ning Hanlin took over the power of the house, and directly sent Ning Jian to the gatehouse as a doorman.
"The Ning family doesn't raise rice buckets, and if you want to eat, you have to work. ”
On weekdays, even the wife and the housekeeper don't like Ning Jian, and it is common to scold him for difficulty, and even this cane is not the first time.
Ning Jian endured all this silently.
On the one hand, I am grateful for the kindness of the old lady, and every time I see all kinds of things in the house, I will recall those good memories.
On the other hand, Ning Jian believes that one day he will break free from the oppression of the Ning Mansion and go out to find his biological parents.
Therefore, he takes advantage of the young masters to practice martial arts on weekdays, and he is also secretly practicing and learning, and now he is a martial artist, and he is inspired to become a spirit pattern warrior.
Only in this way can we have the capital of true independence, and we no longer have to be humiliated and scolded like today.
Dongshun walked over to give Ning Jian the medicine, looking at his dull eyes, "What do you want?"
Ning Jian shook his head, "By the way, Dongshun, didn't you take three days off, why did you come back now." ”
"No, as soon as I got home, the housekeeper sent someone to inform me to come back, saying that there would be a distinguished guest in a few days, and I should prepare early. ”
"Distinguished guest?" Ning Jian thought to himself, anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
Dong Shun leaned over to Ning Jian's ear and whispered, "According to my internal information, it was invited by the second young master. ”
"Second Young Master, isn't he cultivating in the Golden Yang Sect?"
Different from the waste wood of the eldest young master of the Ning family, the second young master has been gifted since he was a child, awakened the spirit pattern at a young age, and successfully entered the local first-class Jinyang Sect to study. The lord and the lady are also proud of this all day long, and they wish that everyone in the water city would know about it.
"It was the second young master who said that one of his senior uncles moved, and I heard that it was a spirit pattern master. I came to the house specifically to open the spirit pattern for the eldest young master. ”
Ning Jian didn't care about the pain and got up.
"What did you say!"
