The world of rebirth

"Ma'am." Ning Yunjin saluted Peihua politely. It is reasonable that he would call this stepmother his mother, but he didn't think this woman deserved to be called her by him. He always called her wife.

"I'm just disciplining Yunxiang, why get angry."

"Is it your turn to discipline!?" Peihua looked fierce like a she-wolf protecting her cubs. Seeing her son being hung high in the air, her heart seemed to be held in her throat, and she hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" If you put him down and fall, can you afford it?"

"I'm Yunxiang's elder brother, why can't I discipline him?" Ning Yunjin said with a half-smile, "Don't tell me Madam didn't ask Yunxiang what he did?"

Peihua is not stupid, she can guess the reason when she saw Ning Qiaoping's disheveled face, but she was just a little girl, she never cared about it, so she couldn't compare to her precious son.

She raised her face and said, "Yun Xiang is young and ignorant, what are you fussing over with him?"

"It's not too young!" Ning Yunjin raised his eyebrows and said, "I already know how to bully my sister. The daughter of the Banner family is not spoiled. Qiaoping is the second girl of the Ning family. Does the government want face!?"

"What's wrong with me bullying her!" Ning Yunxiang saw that his own mother had come and he couldn't be put down, so he howled, "Mother, I was right, let me down. Mother said that everything in the mansion will be destroyed in the future." be mine."

Peihua panicked when he called her, seeing that Ning Yunjin didn't show her face, her face turned cold.However, all she brought were girls, no one could climb the tree to save her son, she said anxiously, "Even if Yun Xiang was at fault, my mother is still here, is it your turn to discipline her?"

Ning Yunjin looked at her, and suddenly smiled, that smile was like a spring breeze, but it made Peihua feel scared.Since he was still young, all these years, before she suffered a disadvantage, she would see this kid showing such a sweet smile. She also learned to be good, and immediately felt bad.

Before she could react, a group of maids came out from the rockery, surrounded by a vigorous old lady.

Seeing the old lady's frosty face, Peihua's heart couldn't help trembling, if the old lady heard those words just now...

"How decent!" The old lady was so angry that she stomped the dragon-head stick in her hand, "I don't know how Xiaoer, as an elder brother, can't discipline Yunxiang! Besides, his grandfather is still there, so you encourage their father and son!" What kind of heart is there for the brothers to be renounced?"

Ning Yunjin was afraid that the old man would be extremely angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "Grandma, don't get angry. It's my grandson's fault, my grandson just got impulsive."

"You did a good job, Yunxiang should be disciplined!" The old lady glanced at Ning Qiaoping, the little follower at his feet, and snorted coldly at Peihua.

"But you shouldn't be the one to take care of it!" She glanced at Ning Yunxiang who was hanging on the tree, and said angrily, "I haven't put him down yet."

Ning Yunjin laughed, jumped up and plucked Ning Yunxiang from the tree.Then obediently retreated behind the old lady, nodded approvingly to Xi Yan who was standing aside, and whispered, "Well done."

It is absolutely impossible for him to come forward for the affairs of the inner house. In any case, Peihua is his stepmother, and he is born to dominate in etiquette. He can only make things big and hand them over to the old lady.The girl Xiyan was really clever, and before she could signal, she had already run to find the old lady to rescue her.

The old lady brought Peihua and Ning Yunxiang back to the yard, and asked the girl to send Ning Qiaoping to Aunt Zhao, asking her to comfort the little girl.The next day Ning Yunjin sent Xiyan to inquire, only to find out that the old lady had seized Peihua's housekeeping rights, handed over the key to Mu Tonger, and left Ning Yunxiang in her yard to raise herself.

This punishment is really serious. The son is not around, and he loses the right to be a housekeeper. When Mu Tonger secures the mansion, he will be like a wallflower, and this can be regarded as confirming that the eldest brother is the heir of the Ning Mansion. As long as there is no accident, he should There will be no variables.

I heard that Peihua was so angry that he stayed in the room for two days and didn't go out. Afterwards, the old lady slipped him over and taught him a lesson again, and then he showed up at the daily dinner lazily.

Ning Yunjin didn't pay much attention to her resentful eyes, but found that his father's expression was a little sad recently, so he specially took Ning Jingxian's rest time to apologize.

"Father, if the child hadn't been impulsive, this wouldn't have happened." Ning Yunjin said with an uneasy expression, "Are you blaming the child?"

Ning Jingxian patted his head, but didn't speak.

Even though he knew that the whole family knew that the trouble had something to do with the child's deliberate behavior, there was no way to blame him.Although I always knew that since Peihua got Yunxiang, he did more little tricks under his hands, but the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and he was busy on weekdays, so he didn't have so much time to take care of the internal affairs.

Originally thought that it was a natural blessing for Yun Xiang to be raised for nothing, plus he was also a smart child, so his chubby appearance was indeed pleasing to the eye.But after inquiring about Ning Jingxian, he found out that it turned out that Peihua had deliberately raised him, so he didn't need to guess. He probably thought Xiao Er was favored because his family liked such a child.

As long as he wants to deliberately inquire about the affairs of this mansion, there is nothing he does not know.

When he found out that Peihua was secretly raising interest rates, and raised the rent of Ningjiazhuangzi by half, he was really angry.He is a smart man, and he knows that if he wants to have a long-term family, it is taboo to be unkind to the rich and unkind to officials. Now nothing has happened, and the Ning family still has a sacred heart, but once they lose power in the future, it will be a big problem if these things are exposed by political opponents .

If she hadn't managed the family well all these years and she had to think about Yunxiang, it would be really hard to divorce her wife, Ning Jingxian only hoped that she would be honest after this lesson, otherwise he would not be to blame!

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Ning Yunjin tugged at his sleeves like he did when he was a child, and called out softly, "Father, are you really angry?"

"No, you did a good job." Ning Jingxian sighed, "It's not unreasonable for my father to think of what the old people often say about marrying a wife. She is not as good as your mother. Take care of her." One of her children was taught that way."

Ning Yunjin curled his lips and said, "Father didn't want to marry, if it wasn't..."

"Speak carefully!" Ning Jingxian looked serious, "You are also going to be an official in the court, don't you know what to say and what not to say?"

"Father, you are not an outsider." Ning Yunjin whispered.

Ning Jingxian glanced at the wall and looked at him.

Ning Yunjin pouted, how could he not know that walls have ears, and even who Wen Zhen's spies might be.It's just that I don't know what that person is planning, and the Ning family has no dissent, so what kind of trouble are they putting so many people in the mansion? !

Ning Jingxian patted him on the shoulder and said, "You and brother Yunting are deeply in love, and he will be relieved to have you as his father. But even if Yunxiang is not, he is still a child after all, and maybe his temper can be taught. Come back, you still have to get along well in the future."

Ning Yunjin naturally nodded in agreement.

This matter calmed down in the Ning Mansion just like that. The head of the family changed people, which had no effect on ordinary servants. The only ones who were worried were those stewards promoted by Pei Hua. But everyone knows that once the emperor and courtiers, his current coveted position will be replaced sooner or later.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of July, and Ning Yunjin found that Yue Wenzhen hadn't called him into the palace this month, and he was not used to it.Although entering the palace is just to accompany him to play the flute, play the piano, play chess or drink tea for a while, and sometimes talk about current affairs, but after a long time, it seems to have become a habit.

But he is not a fool, as long as he thinks about it, he can guess the reason.Wen Zhen also has confidence in himself, so he has no doubt that he can enter the palace examination.The results will come out this month, and the questions for the imperial examination will be determined. If he is still closely related to the emperor, he will inevitably be suspected of operating in the dark. Although he really wants to cheat, he can do it in private, but he must show his skills.

Thinking that Wen Zhen would spend such delicate thoughts on his own, Ning Yunjin felt a little unscientific. When would a superior consider the feelings of a subordinate? There is no such saying as "a leader opens his mouth, and his subordinates lose their legs". After thinking about it, he couldn't guess Wen Zhen's thoughts in the end. He could only narcissistically think that he was too talented, and Wen Zhen was ashamed to let his hard-earned fame be stained.

July 23rd is the day when the provincial examination results are released. Today, among the men of the Ning family, except for Ning Jingxian who can't come back from the yamen, the other three are waiting in the lobby for news.

Before noon, Ning Yunting couldn't sit still when he saw that Qin Ming, who was going to watch the list, hadn't come back yet. He looked towards the door when there was any movement, and finally got up simply, standing by the door and waiting.

Ning Taoxu and Ning Yunjin had just finished a game of chess, and it ended with the old man winning three pieces.

The chess skills of the two are quite equal, Ning Yunjin is good at attacking, Ning Taoxu is good at defending, if not for his occasional impulsive tricks, Ning Taoxu feels that he might be defeated by his grandson.He continued to say, "Xiao Er's chess skills have been getting better recently, and he has his own rules for offense and defense. Do you want to play another game?"

A few days ago, I often played chess with the emperor who had a heart like a sponge, and it was hard not to make progress.I played chess with my grandfather before, but I never saw the hope of winning. I was abused so badly that I couldn't win even if I gave myself the upper hand.He almost won just now, but he couldn't help but get addicted, nodded and said, "Since grandpa is interested, grandson will naturally accompany him."

What fun is there in playing chess slowly!

Ning Yunting rolled his eyes and said, "Little Er, why are you not in a hurry at all, don't you want to know your grades? Qin Ming is also true, why haven't you come back yet."

Ning Yunjin said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the rankings are all posted now, so there's no way to change the grades, so what's the rush! There are a lot of people looking at the rankings today, I'm afraid there will be a while!"

"You shouldn't let Qin Ming go if you are thin and weak. If I knew it, I would have replaced Li Cheng." Ning Yunting scratched his head and said.

Ning Yunjin snickered in his heart, Ning Yunting looked small when he was a child, but when he grew up, he became a typical northern man with five big and three thick. He is indeed more suitable than Qin Ming to go to that crowded place, but it is a pity that he Xiaozhi loves to play martial arts, and can't read a few words.

"Yongcheng, it's useless to be anxious, why don't you just sit down." Ning Taoxu looked at his eldest grandson who couldn't calm down, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Ning Yunting was afraid of being reprimanded by his grandfather, so he had to sit back in his seat honestly and whispered, "Why am I in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry, the Lord is not in a hurry..."

Ning Yunjin was amused by his eldest brother's childish reaction, and was about to speak when he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.

Ning Yunting stood up excitedly when he heard it. He had already inquired about it. Although the release of the results of the provincial examination is not as lively as the release of the results of the palace examination, there will also be a special gong and drum team to celebrate the joy. With such a big commotion outside, he immediately Shouted, "You won, at least the top ten! Xiao Er, you are a Jinshi!"

Ning Yunjin suspected that if it wasn't for the fear of wrinkling his clothes, the elder brother would have to hug him up, he was too restless!

When Qin Ming rushed in excitedly, he shouted loudly, "I've won, young master, you are the first name, you are the first name!"

Even though he was confident about his grades, Ning Yunjin couldn't help grinning when he heard the good news that he won Huiyuan, and couldn't calm down anymore!
