[070] You grew up
Since the opening of the painting gallery, Ning Yunxi has become busy. She will go to the painting gallery every day. Although the business of the painting gallery is average, there are few scholars and not many people who like calligraphy and painting, the reputation of the painting gallery is not low. In just three or two days, it is already a well-known existence in the whole county.
And it was around this time that the imperial examination began.
The imperial examination system of the Daxia Kingdom is still relatively humane. The lowest-level Tongsheng Examination is twice a year, once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year. The passing of the examination is a Tongsheng; the college examination is also called the scholar, once a year, and the passing of the examination is a scholar; the provincial examination is also called the Juren Examination, which is also once a year, and the passing of the examination is a Juren; and the Juren participates in the Imperial Examination, which is once every three years. Only those who pass the examination become tribute scholars can be qualified to participate in the palace examination.
Ning Yunxi didn't have anyone familiar with her to participate in this Tongsheng exam, so she didn't take it seriously. However, after she got home in the evening, she saw the depressed little brother Ning and asked casually.
"What's wrong with you? Unhappy?"
"Sister, Uncle San is going to take the college entrance examination. Do you think he can pass the exam?" Little Brother Ning asked with his head tilted and his face looked very distressed.
Ning Laosan is already a Tongsheng. After Tongsheng's examination, he was also prepared for the outcome, but he didn't know what the result was. However, he was very confident. When he met Xiaodi Ning in the academy this morning, he showed off his gloomy face, which made Xiaodi Ning ask about this unhappyly.
"What does it have to do with us if we are the middle or not?" Ning Yunxi's tone was faint, and she really didn't take this matter to heart.
"He hates it so much. If he passes the exam, he will definitely bully us!" Little Brother Ning is not the stupid Little Brother Ning at the time. He has seen a lot of human nature and worldly styles, so he has his own ideas.
After hearing this, Ning Yunxi looked at her younger brother with some surprise, showed a gratitude, touched her younger brother's head and said, "You have really grown up."
Brother Ning blushed instantly, lowered his head shyly, and said softly, "I'm not a child anymore."
"Well, you have grown up and know how to be far-sighted." Ning Yunxi was still very satisfied with this, "But you are still the youngest child at home, so you don't have to worry about these things, we are there."
"I am not the youngest, Xiao Anzi is the youngest!" Little Brother Ning protested. He is already a young uncle with a little nephew, not the youngest!
Ning Yunxi didn't take Ning Laosan seriously, but Ning Laosan was quite happy. Although they didn't dare to come to trouble Ning Yunxi's family again, they began to struggle with their families with great courage.
"How can this be done? He is so old, this..." Boss Ning looked embarrassed, but from his hesitant tone, it was not difficult to hear that his rejection was not strong at all.
"Brother, I don't force this matter. I just try to find a good family for Xiu'er. Although Mr. Zhang is a little older, he only has two daughters. If Xiu'er can give birth to a son..." Ning Laosan used a move to retreat and advance. They were all a family. Except for his stupid second brother, no one knows who.
"So, we can consider it, but what about this betrothal gift?" Boss Ning was indeed trapped, and even his tone was more anxious. A hint of disdain and mockery flashed in Ning Lao San's eyes, and he knew that the result would be like this. "Mr. Zhang said that although he can't be a big deal, he will never treat Xiu'er badly in terms of betrothal gifts. Don't worry, brother."
Boss Ning's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to nod, but then hesitated and said, "But, can my father agree?"
With his father's old-fashioned personality, would he promise his own girls to be concubines?
"I'll tell my father that his father will agree." Ning Laosan took on this task confidently because he had already thought of the reason. For his son who was studying, he didn't believe that his father could refuse so many betrothal gifts!
Sure enough, after the persuasion of Ning Laosan, Mr. Ning agreed to the matter with a dark face. Soon after, the fact that Ning Xiu'er was going to marry into the county became a popular topic of conversation among the villagers, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were very suspicious.
"Xiu'er is so lucky. She's lost her voice. She can still marry into the county town. It's really enviable."
"What are you envious? There are not many good families in the county town. Maybe someone they married."
"Yes, Mr. Ning's marriage came so suddenly. I didn't hear any news before, and I don't know who the other party was."
What kind of family is it? Many people are thinking about this question, and then as they spread it, it will be passed on to Ning Yunxi's house. However, Ning Yunxi's family didn't care much. Since they broke off the kinship, they no longer wanted to have anything to do with that family.
However, they didn't want to have a relationship, but the family insisted on coming to the door again and again. So, the wife of the Ning Lao San family came to the door timidly.
Well, actually she doesn't want to come to the house either, but her father-in-law and husband at home asked her to come, so she really had no choice but to come.
"I, I'm not here to find trouble. I, I'm here to tell you, Xiu, Xiu'er is going to get married. Besides, no matter what, you are all her elders. I still have to give you this gift!" This sentence was trembling, and I was really frightened.
Ning Anime was a little unhappy when she saw someone coming, but when she saw this, she couldn't help laughing immediately, "Why did you have to give gifts? When we moved the banquet, we didn't see you give gifts!" Not only did she not give gifts, she also came to make trouble, and it was a joke when she told her!
"Why didn't you give it to me? I came with something. You, you must admit it!" Ning Lao San's wife protested with a little guilty conscience.
"Yes, I've given it. I'm giving it a handful of wild vegetables, so you're so embarrassed!" If you don't say it, it's over. Now, Ning A-niang feels angry. Not to mention relatives or something, even strangers come to sit on the seat, there is no such stingy search!
"Oh, you, don't you just say that to me, are you disliked my family's poverty? Your family is rich now and people are getting more and more drifting. Anyway, you are willing to come or not. I, I can't tie you up. I'll leave when I'm taking the words, I'll leave." Ning San's wife was a little angry, but she didn't dare to really lose her temper. After saying this, she snorted coldly, and then ran away in a hurry. She looked really cowardly and funny.
