Ning Jiang took his sister to the wooden stairs.

The surrounding area is brightly lit, with square tables placed on top of the high platform and red carpet floor.

Although there are talented men and beautiful women from other counties coming to the meeting, there are more young people from the three surrounding counties, and there are naturally many in Gaosuo County.

Along the way, Ningjiang also met many people he knew. Although he was not very familiar with, because he is one of the four major landlords of Gaosuo, of course there are many people coming to greet him.

Opposite, a young man walked in their direction. Ning Jiang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Isn't this Brother Jie? Long time no see."

This young man is called Jie Zhengwen. He is one of the several local scholars in Gaosuo County. Ning Jiang has seen him several times in the past. When he meets him here, he naturally wants to say hello.

As soon as Jie Zhengwen looked up, he saw that it was him, and he let out a cold "hmm" and passed by him like this, as if he would get dirty if he said anything more to him.

"Why is this person so rude?" Xiao Meng said angrily. The brother greeted him kindly. On such festivals, even people who are not familiar with each other will give him a greeting and greet each other. However, this person seemed to have a bad face for his brother as if he owed him hundreds of taels of silver. Why is this person like this?

Ning Jiang himself was also surprised... He didn't remember the main text of the introduction.

In fact, after following the three-year etiquette system, he basically did not go out of one or two in the past few months. He walked around during the Chinese New Year and had no place to offend Jue Jie Zhengwen. What's more, although Jie Zhengwen was not from a big family in Gaosuo, he now has fame and fortune. Although he is still a scholar, even if he is a scholar, he is still literary.

In this world where scholars respect Confucianism are respected, it is not strange that scholars with fame and fortune look down on local rich men like Ningjiang. In other words, even if they are from poor backgrounds, as long as they pass the exam, local rich men will rush to help them... If they pass the exam in the future, they may also benefit from it. Even if they don’t care about it, at least they don’t offend them.

However, it is normal for scholars to look down on local rich men, and they will not be so handsome. What's more, no one in Gaosuo County now knows that Ningjiang is interested in the imperial examination. Although he is not even Tong Sheng, he is still a scholar no matter what. The three words "scholar" alone can distinguish him from ordinary local rich men.

Because of the fact that the Lu family has produced several scholars, they have directly risen from a local rich man to a "scholar family". Although the wealth itself has not changed, the family lintel is much more glorious than the other three families... Well, Lu family?

Ning Jiang began to guess what was going on... But forget it, what he liked.

Ning Jiang took his sister and continued to walk inward.

On the other side, Jie Zhengwen met with several men and women and whispered a few words. One of the girls looked at Ning Jiang's back, and his eyes were annoyed: "Is this bastard Ning Jiang?"

But it turned out that this girl was Lu Xifu, the daughter of Lu Tai's third concubine.

Lu Xifu is also a talented woman in several counties around Yuehu. Her brother Lu Zhiyuan is a talented man in Gaosuo County. Because she is almost the age to get married, her father asked someone to come to Ningfu to propose marriage a few days ago.

In fact, Lu Xifu looked down on the young master of the Ning family. Although she died early and inherited the family business at a young age, the one named Ning was just a rich man in the countryside.

However, the parents always decide on the marriage of their children. Her mother is just a concubine who is a maid who is a regular, and she has short-sighted knowledge. She only thinks that as long as her daughter marrys Ning Jiang, she will not have to live a hard life, so she encourages Lu Tai to propose marriage. Lu Xifu himself has a high opinion of herself. After all, the Lu family is a scholarly family, and her brother is also a famous person. Because of her brother, all she knows are talented men, famous men, and a playboy who is just a little stinky. How can she deserve her?

She even felt that if she was a swan in the sky, then Ningjiang was just a toad on the ground. Marrying such a playboy who had no fame and fame, she also lost her identity. No matter what, she was also one of the best talented women in Gaosuo County, and her brother would sooner or later. She was just a playboy who was a little stinky in the countryside. If her mother wasn't anxious to marry her, how could she be able to stand up to her?

When the matchmaker went to Ning's house to propose marriage, she complained angrily in front of several best friends that if her parents had not insisted on helping her make decisions, how could she look down on the guy named Ning?

She even thought that even if the marriage was said to be true, she would make a big fuss in the future and would break off the engagement no matter what...

Then, the matchmaker came back and told his family after he came back... the Ning family's master refused... he refused... he actually refused.

Until now, she still remembers the matchmaker's long sigh: "That master from the Ning family... he treats himself as a swan..." "Not only treats himself as a swan, he simply thinks that all the unmarried girls in Gaosuo County are toads, and they all want to eat his swan meat." "Ah, don't be angry, don't be angry, your girl is not the first toad to be rejected... Ah, bah, I mean, I'm not the first girl to be rejected..." "Reason? There is no reason, people just put on a face... they are not worthy of him!"...

Although Lu Xifu didn't want to marry Ning Jiang, and even thought that she would break off the engagement no matter what, even if the marriage was said, this did not prevent her from being extremely annoyed. Before she could even dislike this guy, this guy looked down on her? Especially since she said so many big words in front of her besties, the other party rejected her first, which made her, who had always regarded herself and could even be said to be arrogant, felt particularly embarrassing, and she was so angry that she often showed bad faces to her parents.

Scholars are actually very together. Scholars from several counties around them often gather together, recite poems and drink orders, and only those in this circle will be recognized by them. Ning Jiang thinks he is a "scholar", but in the eyes of these people, it is generally "you are worthy of being surnamed Zhao"?

Lu Zhiyuan and the scholars and talents around him made friends with each other. Even Lu Xifu was very busy in this circle because of her brother’s identity as a scholar and her name as a talented woman. Once this matter spread, all these talents stood up for her, so naturally they would not give Ning Jiang a good face.

One of them called Sheng Jiayi. He snorted the folding fan with his hand and said coldly: "Is he just a playboy with a little stinky money at home, and he also came to participate in the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival in Yuehu?"

The others also responded one after another. Lu Xifu was a talented woman in their group. She was looked down upon by a playboy, and even they felt that she was humiliated. Jie Zhengwen smiled and said, "Little Sister Fu just worry, it's okay if he doesn't come. He actually came. Today, he must be humiliated and return."

Others also sneered...
