The first to greet him was Ah Lin, followed by Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui who also came up with smiles.

I asked him how he did in the exam.

I asked him if he was tired and what he wanted to eat at night.

Only the girl Ning Xin was missing.

"Where's Xin'er? Isn't she home? Ning Chengwen couldn't help but look for his daughter in the courtyard.

Fourth Uncle Yu hummed and explained lightly: "There are a few newcomers at the book club today, and the girl will go over there to see the excitement." ”

Afraid that he would be worried, Li Gui added: "Shopkeeper Wei and Mrs. Song went with me, saying that they would return in the evening, and they should come back after watching the sky for a while." ”

Within a few months, her daughter established her own social circle in Fucheng.

Not only did he have a way to make money, but he even met a lot of businessmen.

Ning Chengwen knows this.

After all, it is not easy for his family to support him as a person who studies and takes the imperial examination, and if he just sits and eats nothing, he will soon be unable to afford it.

However, Rao can figure it out, and Ning Chengwen is still a little faintly uncomfortable in his heart.

It wasn't like this in the past.

In the past, every time he came back from the exam, his daughter would wait for him at home obediently.

In the past, his daughter was always focused on him......

But how is it different now......

"Young master, let's eat mutton pot tonight, you go back and rest for a while, and you can eat in a while."

In August of the lunar calendar, summer has ended, and the beginning of autumn has passed.

Although it was still a little hot during the day, the temperature had cooled down in the morning and evening.

Li Gui was keen to replenish Ning Chengwen's body, so he went to the surrounding farmhouses early in the morning to buy freshly slaughtered lambs from other people's houses and brought them back to make mutton radish pots.

Ning Chengwen usually likes to eat the mutton he makes.

But for some reason, Ning Chengwen didn't seem to have much appetite today, and when he heard this, he just responded lightly, and then lowered his head and went back to his room.

After a while, when the smell of mutton filled the courtyard, Ning Xin was escorted back by Wei Qin and Madame Song.

Smelling the fragrance of mutton, Ning Xin stood at the door and smiled at the two: "Sister Wei, Mrs. Song, let's have dinner at my house before leaving, Grandpa Li's stewed mutton today is fragrant." ”

It does smell good.

I can't smell the fishy smell of mutton, it's all a smell of meat with a rich milky aroma.

Not to mention Mrs. Song, even Wei Qin, a child who grew up in a family of cooks, couldn't hide the greed in his eyes.

But she still wiped the non-existent ha at the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Forget it today." Your dad just came back from the exam, he must be very tired, you go and accompany him, let's go next time. ”

Mrs. Song sighed, and then remembered that today was the second session of the hospital exam.

If you don't have any candidates at home, it's normal that you can't remember today's exam.

She hurriedly asked Wei Qin: "Then why don't you go back quickly, doesn't your brother also have to take the exam today, and I guess I should go back now." ”

Wei Qin waved his hand, his voice was calm and cold: "I don't care about him, he takes his test, I do my business, no one owes anyone, I also gave him all the money given by my father, and he is now going back to live in the academy." ”

Since Wei Ling told her last time, Wei Qin has completely lost his heart to this brother.

I thought my brother would understand her hard work and determination to get ahead.

Unexpectedly, in her brother's heart, she should also be like other women, following her father at home and marrying her husband.

It's best not to show your face for the rest of your life, and don't lose the people of the Wei family.

Wei Qin smiled bitterly: "I can figure it out, where does he think that I have lost the people in the family, he is obviously afraid that I am better than him." A man is like this, when you are weak, he can say a few words of encouragement to you, but when you are stronger than him, he will suppress you again, saying that you shouldn't be so good at all, because you are a woman! ”

As she spoke, her expression was indifferent, and it was clear that she was really heartbroken for her brother.

It is true that she no longer hires servants to take care of Wei Ling as she did in the past.

just handed over all the money his parents gave to Wei Ling for the two of them to live in Fucheng, and told him to take care of himself in the future.

Her rouge workshop is very busy now, and she has no time to take care of a young master like her brother, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains.

"Alright, you go back quickly, we're leaving."

Wei Qin waved his hand at Ning Xin, nodded to the coachman, and left with Mrs. Song.

I heard that the two of them were going to participate in a noble lady's bureau in a prefecture city in the evening.

Mrs. Song helped to organize it, in order to let Wei Qin and these people get acquainted with each other, and also to take care of business in the future.

Entering the gate, Ning Xin was just about to close the door, but she was startled by the black shadow standing behind the door.

"Oops!" She slammed her little feet back twice, and just as she almost fell on her heels, she was scooped up by a pair of big hands.

"Xin'er didn't fall, it's all because Daddy scared you."

It was not someone else who was eavesdropping here, it was Ning Chengwen.

His family has good rules, and the family always eats together, so everyone is waiting for Ning Xin to come back and start the meal.

Ning Chengwen couldn't sit still, so he waited at the door.

As a result, I happened to hear the conversation between the three of them at the door.

At the same time, I also heard what the shopkeeper Wei said about Wei Ling.

He and Wei Qinwei's shopkeeper are not familiar with each other, although he knows that the other party has always been in contact with Ning Xin, but when he thinks of the previous robbery, he still feels that the relationship is awkward.

Usually, even if you meet, it's just a nodding friendship.

But hearing Wei Qin say Wei Ling's words outside, it made him feel a little ashamed in his heart.

Wei Ling's thoughts, how could it not have appeared in his mind.

He had always resisted his daughter's discipline before, didn't he feel that he was being crushed as a father?

Alas, it shouldn't be.

Neither should he, nor should Wei Ling.

Seeing the dark shadow in front of her, Ning Xin put on her bright smiling face, just patted her small chest and smiled: "Next time, if you make a noise, it will scare me." ”

Ning Chengwen touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Daddy, how did you do in the exam?"

The daughter finally cared about her exam today, and Ning Chengwen's mood of feeling left out instantly improved a lot.

He was busy telling Ning Xin about today's arithmetic questions.

"Xin'er! Daddy really has to thank you, so many people in the whole examination room don't know how to count the academic questions, even Gu Yunting is blind, only Daddy can! ”

He craned his neck proudly, like a schoolboy waiting to be praised.

"Gu Yunting heard that I usually rely on arithmetic to relax, and I think our family is sick!"

After speaking, he was also busy learning about Gu Yunting's frightened appearance when he learned that he was relaxing by arithmetic, which made Ning Xin giggle in his arms.

Of course, the idea of relaxing by doing arithmetic problems was not original to Ning Xin.

She saw mathematician Hua Luogeng in a celebrity biography book before, and usually relied on arithmetic problems to relax her brain.

It's not necessarily universal, though.

But she always felt that if one day her father really got into some big official, but he couldn't understand the account when he went out to buy vegetables, it would be quite embarrassing.

So I brought him this arithmetic problem to learn to play.

I didn't think I would have stumbled into the real question by mistake.

Ning Xin was in a very good mood, and even ate two more bowls at night.

Ning Chengwen saw that his daughter was happy, and he was also happy, and he made a grand wish on the spot: "Waiting for my father to become a big official in the future, I will also ask Xin'er for a county lord and county lord!" ”

Three days later, the results of the two exams were in.

Among the blank papers, Ning Chengwen broke out of the encirclement, and the fault won the first place.
