Everyone But Me is Reborn

After the Spring Festival, all the civil and military officials returned to their posts, and the people who had passed the New Year began to start the new year.

The princes had planned to approach Chu Fei early, and were worried about what he was talking about about the Enlightenment Academy, so when they were free, they immediately came to walk with him.

Then, they soon discovered that King An was very close to the three princes who were usually not very prominent.

This obviously shocked many people.

Among them, the eldest prince and the prince are the most serious, and in the prince's battle, the two of them fought the most fiercely, one is the eldest son, the other is the protagonist, and they are the most important to the emperor. They all thought that the academy in King An's hands would be something in their own pockets, but they didn't expect it to be kicked in by the three princes, and the three princes took advantage.

After they sent someone to investigate, what happened in the Ning family was presented to them by the people below.

"Ning Shuo?" Many people had forgotten him, and the prince narrowed his eyes, but felt familiar.

The people below reminded: "His Royal Highness, he did the previous Qiu Wei's problem."

"It's him?!" The prince finally remembered, and was surprised: "He turned out to be the third child?"

The prince carefully checked Ning Shuo's information, and when he saw that he had been in Jiangzhou for a long time, it suddenly became clear. "Yes, the third child's birth mother, Concubine Jing, is from Jiangzhou. It turned out that it was the third child's idea, but I didn't even think of him." At the end, the prince's tone was a bit vicious.

Last year, Qiu Wei was his main responsibility, and he was scolded by the emperor for venting the problem. At that time, when it was found out, a small official confided the question. Although he felt that something was wrong, he could investigate carefully, but nothing could be found, so he had to give up. Who knows that the three princes have been found now?

Na Ning Shuo intends to murder Ning Lang, where did the poison come from, and where did the people come from? At this time, it was the third prince who suddenly benefited. He had long heard that Wang An's spoiled his wife was so great that it would not be difficult to give Ning Lang a chance for the sake of Princess An, but why did the third child benefit?

Shouldn't his uncle want to support the third child?

Doubts arose in the prince's heart, and the same thoughts in the hearts of other princes. But he was a little deeper than others thought.

He never expected that the three princes, who had always been low-key on weekdays, would also have the idea of ​​that position in their hearts. When Ning Shuo was involved, it was hard not to doubt that he was reprimanded by the emperor for the issue of Qiuwei's venting. For a long time, the emperor had no good expressions. Was this matter deliberately designed by the three princes?

When did the three princes and King An reach an alliance? Was it now, or as early as last year's autumn, when King An reminded him to vent the problem, he had reached an alliance?

No, no, if an alliance had been reached at that time, King An would not have made it to remind himself that he would have been harmed even worse if it had not been for the reminder of King An.

But now it's useless to think about it... the academy they have been thinking about for so long has now been preempted by the three princes. He originally thought that the eldest prince was his most vigilant enemy, but he never expected that he was the most humble third-born.

The prince was resentful in his heart, and he thought of his brothers again. Not only was he wary of the prince, but now he also began to be wary of other brothers.

As Chu Fei said at the annual banquet, as soon as the new year passed, he quickly set about preparing for the enlightenment school.

He bought a piece of land on the outskirts of Beijing. It was not too remote, but the location was just in the middle of the village and the capital. It was convenient no matter where he went. After completing the formalities, he quickly recruited workers and began to establish a school.

Before the school was built, the usefulness of the school was circulated and everyone was informed.

Compared with the talents who have passed the championship, the people in the village are undoubtedly more excited. Their ancestors have been digging in the land for generations. After a year of hard work, they can't make much money throughout the year. How can they compare to those officials? But for a child to go to school, from enlightenment to entrance examination, it costs a lot of money. If you can support yourself like Zhu Hanshan and have talent in junior high school, it would be okay, but even more are not taken for several years. People of great fame.

Not to mention, they are more than one child.

In ordinary farmers, when a child reaches the age of seven or eight, he can already go to the ground to help. If he is older, he can already earn his own rations. But if he changes to school, he can no longer work in the field. Let the family squeeze out rations for support, not to mention the huge expenses like pen, ink, paper and inkstone. In an ordinary family, it is difficult to confess one, let alone many more.

Scholars, farmers, commerce and industry, the most powerful scholars are also scholars. After passing the exams and becoming officials, they don't need to dig in the land like them and can live a good life. Now that a great opportunity like Enlightenment Academy falls in front of them, how can they not be excited?

King An, King An and the others know it too!

It's the kind prince who paid the subsidy silver!

When the people inquired excitedly, they quickly figured out An Wang's plan to open this enlightenment school.

It's free!

Although the conditions for enrolling are more stringent, they don't need to spend money!

They don’t have to spend money, they can go to school from their children at home. Without Shu Xiu, they have the same benefits as Qingshan Academy and Bailu Academy. Children with outstanding talents can also get bonuses. If it is really difficult, You can also get subsidy silver!

How is this not exciting?

As soon as the news of the Enlightenment Academy came out, the entire capital became lively, and the streets and alleys were talking about this matter. Everyone was looking forward to this Enlightenment Academy, which would take a long time to complete.

Ning Nuan sat in the carriage and returned to Ning’s home from the Ancestral House. When the carriage passed by the street, people could hear people talking about the Enlightenment Academy. They came in from outside the curtain of the car, and all the excitement came to her. .

Ning Nuan couldn't help but smile.

The smile on her face finally disappeared until she reached the gate of Ningfu. She was helped by Xiangtao to get off the carriage, looked up at the plaque on the gate of Ning Mansion, and then bowed her head into Ning Mansion.

Jiang Yunlan knew she was coming, so she sat in the hall and waited for her. But Jiang Yunlan is not the only person in the hall, and the whole family in the second room is here.

When Ning Nuan stepped in, the second lady's begging words stopped abruptly, and she looked at her with her mouth open. She didn't know what was thinking, the second lady hurriedly walked over to her, bending her knees. She knelt down.

Ning Nuan frowned, and immediately walked to the side, avoiding the movements of the second lady.

"The second child, what are you doing!" Jiang Yun stood up and pointed at her angrily: "It's the old lady who wants to let you in. Entering the door of my Ning family, you just keep a little bit of rules. , If you do something like this again, don't blame me for driving you out!"

The second wife cried and pleaded, "But my Shuoer... Shuoer is in prison!"

Ning Nuan came here this time also for this matter.

She avoided her, walked to Jiang Yunlan's side, and gave a wink to the maids she had brought over. Those maids understood immediately and walked over to pull the second wife up, preventing her from making any ridiculous behavior.

"I have also told you many times. No matter how you ask, Ning Shuo himself did this kind of thing. He took the blame. If it weren't for An Wang's help, now our Ning family has no life. He begged for mercy, but when he poisoned Langer, why didn't you stop him?" Jiang Yunlan said sarcastically.

The second lady cried: "I don't know...I don't know..."

Jiang Yunlan showed mockery in her eyes.

"What's the use of asking us? Even if you are asking for love, you should kneel at the gate of the yamen and beg those adults and give Ning Shuo a lighter sentence. This matter has already been reported to the government. Even if we want to interfere, there is nothing we can do. What's the use of you asking us?"

"There is also King An." The second lady said anxiously: "Wang An's magical powers are bound to be able to rescue Shuo'er. You plead with King An and ask An King to rescue Shuo'er..." she said, again He looked at Ning Nuan.

Ning Nuan frowned subconsciously.

Seeing her, the second wife was about to kneel down to beg for mercy, but was dragged by the maids. Her knees were bent and she was pulled up again, looking a little embarrassed.

"I'll tell you the last time." Jiang Yunlan looked at her in disgust: "If you really ask for love, it's useless even if it's Wang An. Ning Shuo wants Lang'er, and Wang An helps, so that Lang'er can be safe. , What Wang An does is what we mean. If you really want to beg, you are begging to go to the emperor! In this Ning’s house, even if you call the old lady out, it’s useless. As for the old lady, I don’t Listen."

The second lady is even more desperate.

She cried: "But what should I do with Shu'er! He...he is so young, he doesn't even have a child, he...what should he do in the future!"

Whether this will go on or not, maybe!

Ning Yanwen sat on the side in a daze, the second wife was crying loudly beside him, but he was different, and his face was still a bit dazed.

In any case, he could not imagine that his most important son, who could inherit the Ning family in the future, suddenly broke his leg and ended his official career. Now he has tried to harm others and is put in a prison. What will happen. The development of this matter was so fast that it exceeded his expectations and made him really helpless.

Jiang Yunlan ordered: "Chuntao, see off the guests!"

Several servants came over, pulled Ning Yanwen and the second wife and walked out.

"Wait, wait, let me go." Ning Qing earned from the maid's hands, looked at Ning Nuan, and said with a flushing face: "Sister Nuan, my brother already knows that he is wrong. If you don't believe me, ask him, he is sure You know, you will let my brother go once, and we will definitely not show up in front of you in the future. I will ask my brother to return to Jiangzhou, and he will never come back. Do you think this will work?"

Ning Nuan looked at her.

She was also taken aback when she realized that Ning Qing was there. I haven't seen Ning Qing for a long time. Ning Qing seems to have changed herself. She lost any sense of existence. She has been in this room for so long and has not said anything. Ning Nuan almost didn't find her.

Noting her gaze, Ning Qing shrank, and lowered her head in panic, not daring to meet her gaze.

I don't know what happened in Zhou's house.

Ning Nuan noticed that even the clothes on her were a bit old, and the style seemed to be last year, not new.

She took a deep look at Ning Qing, and under her gaze, Ning Qing still trembled, as if she were some terrible monster. Ning Qing's appearance is really pitiful. If she weren't for Ning Shuo's younger sister, Ning Nuan would almost have sympathy.

It's just that she is Ning Shuo's younger sister and is begging for Ning Shuo. Based on this alone, Ning Nuan is unlikely to answer her words.

She also agreed with Jiang Yunlan: "If you regret it now, why didn't you stop him earlier?"

Ning Qing looked desperate.

How did she know that her brother would do such a thing.

It's fine now. Her brother intends to kill Ning Lang. They have completely torn their faces with the Ning family, and there is no possibility of recovery. How should she live in Zhou's family from now on?

She was at Zhou's house, and she was already offended by Madam Zhou, and was rushed home by Ning Lang. Madam Zhou was even more uncomfortable towards her. Now even her husband just treats her as a non-existent and upright general. The people outside took it back home. If nothing happened to her brother, even for the sake of her brother's future, he would not do this to her. But now, her brother has offended Wang An and went to jail. Maybe he will lose his life. Even if he survives by chance, there will be no chance of turning over again. What can she rely on to make the Zhou family look different?

After all these years of relying on her, is he still the father of a low-level official?

Even she went to find her brother in jail, trying to get Ning Shuo to come up with a solution, but her brother actually believed that someone would save him. If it is true, where will it wait until now?

Ning Qing slowly followed Ning Yanwen and his second wife out of the gate of Ning Mansion. She looked back and saw the plaque on the gate of Ning Mansion. She remembered that she was still living here at this time last year and was held by the whole family. , Guarded by the old lady, pampered by her parents, even her brother is still the best and most promising person in the Ning family.

In her mind, her brother should be admitted to the top prize in the imperial examination and inherit the Ning family, and she will also marry the most promising son in the capital. This should be the case.

But in just one year, or even less than a year, her fate was turned upside down, and Ning Nuan, who was the most jealous and unsightly before, lived the life she dreamed of. She heard that King An was very fond of Princess An, and not long ago, she even spent a lot of money. She bought the treasure of the town store from Zhenbao Pavilion, just to please Princess An. The unlearned Ning Lang was very much used by King An, and even King An was the emperor's favorite younger brother.

why?

Ning Qing lowered her head until she returned to Zhou's house, facing Madam Zhou's cold eyes and Zhou's indifference, but she still couldn't think of a clue.

When everyone was gone, Ning Nuan asked Jiang Yunlan: "Why are they here?"

"It's not the old lady yet." Jiang Yunlan said grimly: "I said a long time ago that I can't let them in, but you also know that the old lady is stubborn and loves them. What can be done? Those people still look at the old lady. His face is."

"What does the old lady mean?"

"Of course I can't listen to what she said." Jiang Yunlan said: "Isn't she just staying in the yard and not coming out? Now I follow her and let her stay in the yard, and she doesn't need to come out on weekdays. Up."

Ning Nuan was surprised: "What about father?"

"That's what your dad meant." Jiang Yunlan said: "This matter is King An's help, and we can't hold back King An. If something happens to the old lady, we can't afford it. If the old lady goes to plead, this It's your father's face that is lost."

Ning Nuan thought for a while and said, "What if the old lady has a seizure?"

"When she happens, this matter will be resolved." Jiang Yunlan sneered: "Now I have sent a lot of people to stare at her. She likes her second and third family so much. When Ning Shuo's problem is resolved, I will naturally let her go. I just don't know if she will choose to stay at that time, or is going to find her second and third child."

But one broke his leg, lost his fame, and had no future in the future. Although the other hadn't grown up yet, he also learned his father's lazy temperament. Is the old lady still willing to hold on to the wealth and wealth in front of her, and insist on pulling other people?

Ning Nuan shook his head, and asked, "Where is my brother?"

"Practicing martial arts in the backyard." Jiang Yunlan said: "After the previous thing, Yang Zhen now has high demands on Lang'er. She is afraid that there will be an accident next time without An Wang's manpower protection. So she demanded him severely. It turned out that Lang'er practiced four or five hours a day, but now it has become six or seven hours! He would get up without cock, and he was still practicing at night, even I watched it. Could not bear."

Ning Nuan bends the corners of her lips: "I'm going to find brother."

"Go." Jiang Yunlan paused, and then reminded her: "You can help me see Yang Zhen, but don't let your brother practice too much. Your brother used to be a person without the power to bind a chicken. They have all practiced so diligently, be careful that the body cannot bear it."

Ning Nuan nodded in response.

What Jiang Yunlan was worried about, Yang Zhen, a martial artist, would not know.

Ning Nuan went around to the backyard and saw Ning Lang lying on the ground to rest, sweating profusely, panting heavily, so tired that it was difficult to even move his fingers. Seeing Ning Nuan coming, he only lifted his eyelids and even opened his mouth. The strength is gone, like a waste dog.

Yang Zhen was sitting at the next stone table, sipping tea calmly, and seeing Ning Nuan coming, he stretched out his hand to help her pour a cup.

"Miss Yang and brother are leaving the capital soon, right?" Ning Nuan took the tea, took a sip, and said, "When you go to Qingzhou later, Miss Yang must be careful. I have heard what the prince said. I'm afraid that my brother will drag Girl Yang."

Hearing that, the people on the ground moved, Ning Lang struggled to prop up his body to say something, but he opened his mouth, his arms trembled, and suddenly deflated, thumped and fell back to the ground, just recovered. No strength at all.

Yang Zhen glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, but helped him to say what he couldn't say: "Ning Lang is much better than before. These days, he studies and practices hard. If he compares with An Wang now, he will be able to support more. A few tricks."

Ning Nuan showed anxiety: "You know clearly that I'm not talking about this."

"Don't worry, even if the sword has no eyes, I will protect him." Yang Zhen said, "Besides, with his qualifications, everyone in Qingzhou is a martial artist. I'm afraid he is recruiting troops locally. They are better than him."

Ning Nuan: "..."

Ning Lang: "..."

"Even if he joins the army, he can only be a gang leader." Yang Zhen said ruthlessly: "I want to go to the battlefield, it is still far away."

Ning Nuan: "..."

Ning Lang: "..."

Ning Nuan calmed down strangely.

She laughed and asked Xiangtao to take the baggage she had brought over. She stretched out her hand to loosen the baggage and took out two sets of soft armor: "I asked the prince to ask for this. Later, Miss Yang and her brother returned to Qingzhou. , To take care of my own safety, I can only sit on these."

Yang Zhen took it and touched the soft armor with his fingertips. Knowing that the soft armor material is hard to find, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

Ning Nuan took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Zhen: "The prince is now preparing for the enlightenment school. Thinking about it carefully, the people in Qingzhou are strong, but there are not many scholars. The prince also thinks that he should be in Qingzhou. If you open an enlightenment school, let me give this to you, and trouble Miss Yang distracted to make preparations."

"It's just right." Yang Zhen stroked his palm and said, "I was thinking about those people in my cottage who didn't know big characters, so it's better to just tie up a master and teach them how to read."

"……tie?"

Yang Zhen coughed and said, "Don't worry, I will do the things the prince confessed. It just so happens that I have a mansion that can be used as a school, and there are many scholars in Qingzhou. I will treat them... …Please come to be a master, and I will run this enlightenment school for him."

Ning Nuan smiled and let go of his heart.

She also said: "How to do this Enlightenment Academy is explained in the letter. The prince said that Miss Yang does not need to be stingy with money. If she is short of money, she can just write to him and ask for it. Whether it is this school or Qingzhou , Miss Yang is in trouble, so she can write to the prince."

As soon as her voice fell, Ning Lang on the ground struggled and jumped up: "With me, there is me."

Ning Nuan and Yang Zhen looked at him.

Ning Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the ground, patted the position of his waist and abdomen where the money bag is usually stored, and said with pride: "I have money, where is King An's money."

Yang Zhen is short of money and asks An Wang, what is this? Yang Zhen is his daughter-in-law, and the flower must be his money!

Ning Nuan: "..."

Ning Nuan took out the second letter again.

"The prince also said that the bandits in Miss Yang’s cottage should also be diverted." She said: "The line that my brother helped lead in Qingzhou can also be picked up by Miss Yang. If the business can be run well, it will naturally be the best. Good. All of Ms. Yang's men are equipped with martial arts, and in the future they can also help deliver goods. As for this helper, the prince has already found a candidate. When Ms. Yang returns to Qingzhou, he will be able to see it."

Yang Zhen took it all, nodding in response, with a serious face.

Ning Lang was a little dumbfounded.

Even his affairs are entrusted to Yang Zhen, so what does he do?

This didn’t even have to do with King An. What he did on weekdays was not just being the minister of the village in Qinglong Village! ?
