Ning Ze didn't know that his mother still had hope for him, so he took Su Rong and Feng Ling out of the Nanping Hou Mansion, and led the two of them to visit the places he thought were delicious, drinkable, and fun.

At the end of the day, Ning Ze was tired of back pain, his feet were about to go to waste, looking at the two of them with unchanging faces and brisk steps and still full of energy, he sighed, "This person is more than people, but it really can't be compared." ”

Compared to the two of them, no matter how he looked at it, he also felt that he was indeed a useless waste. Even after walking too much, my feet hurt.

Feng Ling patted him on the shoulder, "You should exercise more, brother, you can't do this, it's too wasteful." ”

Ning Ze nodded, he also felt that he was too wasteful, but he felt that he was helpless, and sighed, "I'm practicing martial arts now, it's too late." ”

"It's not too late, I'll teach you a set of boxing, you get up every morning to practice a set of boxing, and then run three laps around the Nanping Marquis Mansion, I will guarantee you a year, strong and strong, able to beat a cow."

Ning Ze was suspicious, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true."

Ning Ze made a difficulty, "Get up early...... How early? ”

"When the time comes."

"No, I can't get up."

Feng Ling was speechless, "It's too late, you still can't get up?" When you used to study, you didn't read the rooster crow before you fell asleep? Didn't get up and continue to read? ”

Ning Ze shook his head, "No." ”

He looked at Feng Ling embarrassedly, "I fell asleep at the end of the day, and I only got up at the end of the day." ”

Feng Ling sighed: "No wonder you are so wasteful." ”

He commented, "I remember that when the scientific examination list was released, you took a second-class 137th? You don't work hard, and you still got this ranking? ”

Ning Ze scratched his head, "My husband who taught me before also thinks that I am still very good at reading. It's just that he can't practice martial arts, unlike his eldest brother, who is both civil and military. ”

Feng Ling sighed for a long time.

The three of them returned to the Nanping Marquis Mansion, and it was already night.

Ning Ze returned to his yard, and saw his mother waiting for him in his house, and when he saw him come back, he immediately smiled, "You're back?" On this day, are you tired? ”

Mrs. Hou knew at a glance that her son was tired and walked with heavy steps, but there was nothing unpleasant and depressed when she looked at people.

Ning Ze nodded, sat down, hung his legs and said, "My legs hurt, my feet hurt and I walked for a whole day, and I walked through the streets and alleys of the city for most of it." I'm exhausted. ”

Mrs. Hou smiled, "Your body is too wasteful, when my mother was young, if she went out shopping, she could go shopping for a whole day." ”

Ning Ze muttered, "Feng Ling said the same thing. ”

He struggled for a moment, "Mother, where is Master Wu in our house?" Let him teach me how to practice martial arts, right? ”

Mrs. Hou: "Huh? "You're so old." ”

"Feng Ling said it's not too late." Ning Ze said: "He said that I am so useless, just because I haven't practiced martial arts, although I can't practice much, but I can strengthen my body and be able to beat a cow, it's no problem." ”

Mrs. Hou smiled and agreed, "Okay, Ming'er will let Master Wu teach you." ”

She sighed, "He is your eldest brother's enlightenment martial artist, squatting and practicing piling is the hardest, your eldest brother persevered, but to give you enlightenment, you cried and fainted three times." According to your father, the boy's family, how can you not know some kung fu? I have to continue to practice no matter what, and I blame me, I can't bear you, my loving mother has many failures, so that I let you go, and now, I can't do any kung fu, and I have to suffer this hard work. ”

"I don't blame you, it's me who doesn't fight." Ning Ze also sighed.

Mrs. Hou looked at him, "My mother heard that you entered Beijing to take the exam this time, and you actually entered the second grade, although you are the last in the second grade, but my mother is also very happy to hear it, after all, you can't study hard." ”

Ning Ze was also very happy, he really didn't work hard, "My son didn't expect me to do well in the exam." ”

When the list was released, he was still locked up in the Ruian Palace, and at that time he was only afraid of waiting for the holy decree to be launched to cut off his head, where did he care about thinking about fame, and at that point, his fame was already over.

Mrs. Hou asked him, "Ze'er, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Ning Ze didn't know, scratching his head, "Let's wait to die!" ”

Mrs. Hou was not unhappy about this, "What kind of wife do you want to marry in the future?" ”

Ning Ze didn't know anymore, and shook his head, "Mother, whatever!" ”

Mrs. Hou smiled, "Didn't you like your cousin before?" ”

Ning Ze immediately said: "I don't like it now." ”

Mrs. Hou looked at him, "What's wrong?" Is it because you think you're not worthy of your cousin now? ”

Ning Ze coughed, "It's not." ”

He glanced around, there was no one in the house, and looked out the window, the courtyard was very quiet, and the subordinates all retreated, and he whispered: "Mother, let me say it, don't laugh at me, I haven't liked my cousin since I saw Miss Su Qi after entering Beijing." ”

Mrs. Hou: "......"

She took a breath, "She's not someone you can like. ”

"I know that. Your son still has a little self-knowledge, if he didn't have it before, he has it now. Ning Ze whispered: "What I mean by telling you, the point is that I don't like my cousin anymore." As for who I like in the future and what kind of marry, I don't have any idea. ”

Mrs. Hou was a little worried, "A woman like Miss Su Qi is indeed very easy to like. Not only men, but also women are waiting to see her. I heard that after the lord of Duanhua County saw her, he liked her very much, and invited her to live in the princess's mansion for a while. ”

Ning Ze nodded, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Hou hesitated for a moment and asked him: "My mother has an idea, I don't know if it should be or not, you can listen to it." ”

Ning Ze nodded, "Mother, you say." ”

Mrs. Hou said: "Mother thinks, you still have some talents, in Daliang, you can no longer enter the court as an official, and you will not be able to participate in the scientific examination in the future, this is equivalent to a complete ruin of the future for you, although my mother also knows that you and your sister can come back safely, it is not easy, you should be content, but I always feel that you are a pity." Even if you don't work hard, you have been studying hard since you were a child, and you have been studying for more than ten years. If you are so mediocre and idle for a lifetime under your eldest brother, my mother always feels that she is not at ease when she dies. My mother wants you to go to Nanchu and follow Miss Su Qi to break through. ”

Ning Ze's eyes widened in shock, "Mother, no, no, you, you...... You asked me to follow Su Rong to Nanchu? ”

"Yes, you have some talents, and the road to becoming an official in Daliang has been blocked, so it is better to go to Nanchu and give it a try. It's better than begging for a living under your big brother. Mrs. Hou looked at him, "You can read, what you have learned since you were a child, and it is also the way to be an official." I heard that Nanchu selects talents in an eclectic manner, even if they are disabled, even if they are women, they have opportunities. ”

Ning Ze opened his mouth wide for a long time, unable to speak.
