The world of rebirth

After nine days and seven nights, even though Ning Yunjin had plenty of physical strength, he also felt uncomfortable all over. He couldn't help but sigh that the imperial examination was also a physical effort.It's no wonder that in the next few days, people will always see fainting, falling ill, and then being carried out.

After returning to the mansion, he only felt relaxed, and after he rested for a day, the second elder called him into the room.

The old lady held his hand reluctantly to let go, and even touched his thin cheek, distressedly said, "Look at Xiao Er, his face is sharp."

Ning Yunjin patted the old lady's hand and said with a smile, "Grandson is in good health. After this exam, only the palace exam is left, so you can rest well."

"Really take it easy." The old lady nodded and ordered, "You are done with your work now, and it would be boring to eat alone in the yard at noon, why don't you come and spend more time with me, old lady."

Ning Yunjin knew that if the old man wanted to eat with her by himself, it was mostly because he wanted to be considerate of his diet and caring for him, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he and the old lady were getting bored, Ning Taoxu said, "Seeing that you are confident like this, I won't ask any more questions."

"That's natural, grandson is rushing to Huiyuan." Ning Yunjin said confidently, "Besides, this year's questions are really wonderful. If grandson answers with divine help, he will definitely get good grades."

Ning Taoxu nodded in satisfaction, his eyes were full of admiration and complacency, it was really not easy for him to develop his family from a powerless and powerless little person to the present prosperity.A few years ago, when he saw Ning Yunpeng, who was a side branch, become a Jinshi, he was very greedy. Now that his own grandson has improved to a higher level, he couldn't help being proud!

It will take at least three months until the announcement of the rankings. Ning Yunjin wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the Northland to bury the teacher's ashes, so he said, "Grandpa, before the announcement of the rankings, my grandson wants to go to the Land of Hidden Dragons." Go and have a look, okay?"

Ning Taoxu was stunned for a moment, he was the one who knew the truth about the death of the great master, so he immediately thought of the reason why he said so.He shook his head, "That's not right. Although it won't take long to go back and forth quickly, it's really a toss-up. If there's something wrong or delayed on the way, it won't be good if you miss the palace exam."

Ning Yunjin pursed his lips, "But if you have to work as an errand after finishing the imperial examination, I'm afraid you won't have much free time."

"Don't worry, the emperor won't ignore it." Ning Taoxu said, "You just need to prepare well for the imperial examination."

When Ning Yunjin thought about it, this was indeed the reason, so he agreed.

Judging from the questions of the provincial exam this time, Wen Zhen paid special attention to this year's exam. It seems that he was under a lot of pressure due to the great business and founding of the country.The purpose of asking such questions is nothing more than to select some people who have a keen insight into governance. If he is allowed to bet on the questions, Ning Yunjin tends to ask policy questions in the palace exam that are close to current affairs.

In order to fully express one's thoughts in just a few hundred words, one needs not only solid writing skills, but also the clearest understanding of today's society. Ning Yunjin knew that if he wanted to get good grades in the exam, he really needed It takes hard work, but I was a little careless before.

Having settled on such a train of thought, Ning Yunjin calmed down and stayed in the mansion.During this period of time, there were many scholars in the capital, and some came to visit him, a child prodigy, or invited him to participate in gatherings among literati.

However, Ning Yunjin didn't want to go out to drink and have fun with his teacher Xiaozhong. The people who came to the door warmly entertained him, but he politely refused the banquet.After coming and going, people who have figured out his temperament will take the initiative to come to the door. Among them, the two who come most frequently are naturally Xu Youyou and Sun Benshan.

Although Ning Yunjin has always wanted to keep a distance from these two people who are too enthusiastic about him, but they are all talented people, and their speech and behavior are very good. It is really difficult to feel disgusted when getting along with such people. People don't behave excessively, and they gradually let go, treating them as friends.

During this period, the Ning Mansion was very lively once, and it was a [-]-day banquet for Ning Yunting's son at the end of April.This little baby born in the first month was white and fat. After the facial features were opened up a bit, the people of Ning's family discovered that he did not look like his parents. On the contrary, Ning Taoxu was born like an inheritance Good looks.

Not to mention that the second elder loves the eldest son and grandson very much, even Ning Yunjin likes to tease him, but this child still kisses him tightly, as soon as he gets close, he opens his eyes and looks at him, hugs him and doesn't let go, then Even Ning Yunting, who is a father, is jealous of the intimacy.

Originally, Ning Yunjin had prepared a great gift for this nephew, but he really liked it so much that he couldn't help melting ten catties of gold to find someone to beat up a fat doll to add to it.His behavior actually surpassed the gift given by the two elders and their fathers.

After the impulsiveness was over, he quickly pretended to be good and apologized, but the elders were only happy to see that their brothers were in harmony, so they were not willing to blame him.Ning Yunjin was extraordinary since he was a child, the elders were only worried about the gap between the two brothers, as long as they had no conflicts, they were all very satisfied.

The days passed into June in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the weather was turning hot, Ning Yunjin thought about going to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat. Unexpectedly, Sun Benshan came to him.

"Want to paint with me?"

After inviting people into the courtyard, Sun Benshan couldn't wait to express his request after drinking a cup of tea.

"I have something good to draw. Besides, we are so familiar. Ji Qing can just put pen to paper. Why do I need to be there?" Although he knows that Sun Benshan's paintings are hard to find, he is good at ink painting. Similarly, ghosts know who the people in the painting are, so Ning Yunjin is not very interested.

"Brother didn't make it clear. The reason why I made this request to you, Yunjin, was to ask for your help." Sun Benshan saw that he wanted to refuse, and said hastily, "Brother, I feel that I have made some small achievements in fine brushwork recently. So I wanted to draw a picture of Begonia sleeping in spring, after much deliberation, the only one I know who can be a beauty is you, my brother."

Although he was compared to a beauty, Ning Yunjin didn't care. Praise people are not divided into men and women these days. He never thought that he would still have this day, so he couldn't help feeling complacent. Cultivation is not without effect.

Besides, if it is a meticulous painting, it is similar to an oil painting. Ning Yunjin really wants to see what he looks like in the eyes of others. It's just that after the painting is finished, I have to let my younger brother enjoy it for a few more days."

"Even if I give you a picture." Sun Benshan excitedly said, "It's just that Yunjin will be delayed for a few days."

After discussing with each other, the two decided to draw two pictures, one moving and one still taking different scenes.

The picture that moves is the scene of Ning Yunjin dancing a sword in his own Liufangyuan.He planted some crape myrtle flowers around his Liufang Garden. In summer, red, white, purple, and pink flowers bloomed all over the tree, which was extremely beautiful.In such a background, he was wearing a white robe embroidered with bamboo joints, as if he was dancing, and he was dancing with a long sword with a red tassel fringe, just like a banished immortal.

Sun Benshan stared blankly several times without knowing it, his eyes were full of fascination, but unfortunately Ning Yunjin was too focused on being a model and didn't notice it at all.

It took them three days to complete the line drawing of the painting, during which Sun Benshan tore up many drafts.Ning Yunjin felt that it was a pity. He looked at those sketches that were pretty good, but Sun Benshan stubbornly thought that he hadn't grasped his temperament and was determined to discard them.

After completing the line drawing part of this painting, Ning Yunjin's work was considered complete, and then came the second picture, which was what Sun Benshan wanted to paint the most. In the end, he took the water pavilion in Ningfu as the scene.Drawing this picture of Ning Yunjin is much easier, as long as he just lies on the chaise longue and reads a book.

This painting also took a lot of time. The weather was sweltering a few days ago and it was a bit exhausting to lie still, but this day is finally a bit cooler, with the gentle breeze blowing, Ning Yunjin actually forgot that Sun Benshan was still there, really fell asleep holding a book.

When he woke up, Ning Yunjin found that Sun Benshan's people were gone long ago, and only two girls, Xiyan and Ziyuan, were sitting beside them doing embroidery work.

Ning Yunjin rubbed his eyes, and asked lazily, "Where's Brother Ji Qing?"

Zi Yuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Young Master Sun has already left, seeing that you are sound asleep, Young Master, I didn't ask you to wake up."

Ning Yunjin secretly blamed himself for being too careless. Recently, he always let Sun Benshan hang around by his side, and he was even familiar with his existence, so he didn't pay attention to his movements.

"Has his painting been finished today? Why did he leave so early." He wondered.These days, Sun Benshan always dawdled until before dinner, so Ning Yunjin asked this question.

When this matter was brought up, Xi Yan was also happy, and said with a smile, "My lord, you don't know that after you fell asleep, Mr. Sun seemed to be possessed by a demon, looking at you, his eyes were shining, and he drew with just a few strokes." I took one and went back as if holding a baby.”

"That's right, son, you haven't seen him like that!" Zi Yuan added, "Mr. Sun said that he will devote himself to finishing the painting in the next few days, and he will pay a visit soon."

Ning Yunjin yawned, since he had finished the painting, he had nothing to do, just wait and see the finished product.He had just put this matter behind his mind when he suddenly felt something coming through the air.

The speed of the "hidden weapon" was too slow, Ning Yunjin dodged it with a tilt of his head, and landed directly on the soft couch.Seeing his favorite rose embroidered brocade quilt covered with yellow mud, his face suddenly turned dark.This quilt was embroidered for him by Ning Qiaoxin himself last year, if it wasn't for this painting, he would not be willing to take it out.

He stared fiercely at the source of the "hidden weapon", and said coldly, "Little San'er, what's your etiquette?"

"Don't call me Little Saner." Although Ning Yunxiang was young and didn't know what "Little Saner" meant, he instinctively felt that it sounded uncomfortable for his second brother to call him that.He puffed his face and said, "I didn't do it on purpose, isn't it just a quilt, I will ask my mother to pay you later."

"Who, come out!" Ning Yunjin heard that there seemed to be someone in the flowers not far away, and shouted.

The people in the flowers seemed to be frightened, the branches swayed a few times, and a little girl crawled out.Her small face and clothes were covered with yellow mud, and the braids that had been tied up had been torn apart, leaving her hair in a mess.

Seeing her like this, Ning Yunjin knew why the kid said he didn't do it on purpose, it was obvious that he had suffered a disaster.He was so angry that he glared at Ning Yunxiang and said, "You bullied Qiaoping again, forget what I told you last time?"

To be honest, Ning Yunxiang was a little afraid of this second brother, but he was spoiled by Pei Hua, and he was about to reach the age where dogs would hate him, so he stubbornly said, "Who told her that she dared to complain, it's good if I didn't beat her Mother said, she was raised by a girl, and she is not worthy to be the lady of Ningfu."

Ning Yunjin laughed back in anger, and walked slowly towards him step by step.

Ning Yunxiang was frightened by his sinister smile, and while trembling back, he cursed stiffly, "Don't act recklessly just because you're my second brother, if you dare to hit me, I'll tell my mother to go .”

"A fox pretends to be a tiger, so he learned it well." Although he knew that children would know what the words "raised by a girl" must have been heard from adults, he could only blame the person who taught him.

But Ning Yunjin was annoyed when he saw him. If he hadn't seen this kid bullying Ning Qiaoping that day, he wouldn't have missed seeing his teacher for the last time.Before, Ning Yunjin didn't vent his anger because he thought he had changed, but he didn't think that this kid was just doing it more covertly.

"Don't worry, the second brother is too lazy to beat you." Ning Yunjin smiled darkly, and suddenly rushed forward and grabbed him by the neck and hung him in the middle of nowhere on a big tree in the garden.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Ning Yunxiang was so frightened that he was suddenly carried to a branch high up on the first floor, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.He waved his hands and feet trying to grab something that could fix his body, but the more he struggled, the more futile he became.When he heard Jinbo's tearing sound, he immediately froze and didn't dare to move, and said with a mournful face, "Second brother, second brother, let me down quickly. I know I was wrong."

Ning Yunjin raised his head, looked at him, and asked blankly, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" After finishing speaking, he hooked his hand towards Ning Qiaoping, the little girl's head was covered by this The scene scared me, but I still walked up to Ning Yunjin timidly, holding his leg tightly.

Seeing that her hand had pressed a lot of mud marks on the second brother's beautiful clothes, the little girl quickly reached out to wipe it again, but the result was that it became more and more dirty, and finally tears flowed down her face silently, and her mouth mumbled He choked up and said, "Second Brother, Second Brother, I'm sorry..."

The little girl was so well-behaved that she hardly looked like a child of her age. Ning Yunjin couldn't help feeling distressed. He stroked her hair and asked, "Didn't the second brother tell you to come to me if you need something?"

If it wasn't for that time when Ning Yunxiang cornered the little girl and beat her to death in order to snatch the music box he gave Qiaoping, and even grabbed her head and hit the wall, she wouldn't have known that she had suffered so much grievance.I picked up that thing from a foreign goods store when I went shopping occasionally. It was considered a rare item in this day and age, so I gave it to the little girl to play with. Unexpectedly, it caused trouble for her, which really made Ning Yunjin regret.

Ning Qiaoping sobbed, "My aunt said that I can't disturb my second brother's study, and my aunt also said that this is a matter of the back house, so I can't tell others..."

Ning Yunjin sighed in his heart, knowing that this was Aunt Zhao's humiliation, and it was indeed for his own good. As a son, he could never confront his stepmother just because of a concubine.

Ning Yunxiang was hung in the air and howled for a long time, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he stopped being afraid.His eyes were sharp, and he saw a woman in luxurious clothes hurriedly walking towards this side surrounded by a few girls, and immediately shouted, "I'm right, I'm right, isn't it just a bitch raised by a girl?" , second brother, why do you teach me!"

"That's your sister." Naturally, Ning Yunjin also heard the footsteps, knowing that this kid's backer was coming, but he just said coldly, "Don't you still think you did something wrong?"

"I'm not wrong!" Ning Yunxiang saw that his mother was coming soon, and shouted arrogantly, "When I grow up, I will take the exam and win the favor of grandpa and father, and I will drive you out of the house one day. Mother said, the Ning Mansion will be mine in the future."

Ning Yunjin thought it was funny, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, but turned to look at Pei Hualai's line of defense.

Hearing a sharp female voice, he shouted loudly, "Ning Yunjin, what are you doing, you haven't put Yunxiang down yet."
