Chapter 16: Strict Father Forces Son
Since going down the mountain to borrow food that night, Ning Qingtian did nothing in the next few days, and specially rectified the entire village for several days.
Among them, the rules of copycats were planned and the countercats were repaired. At least Liangshanpo now looks a little pleasing.
Unlike before, people can see that they are a straw troupe and will go bankrupt at any time.
And in these days, Ning Qingtian completely consolidated his practice and successfully entered the eighth-level literary realm.
Moreover, based on his observation and temptation, he found that his eighth grade seemed to be much more powerful than the eighth grade of the same realm.
At least, Yang Ba, who has just broken through to the eighth-grade martial arts, is no match for him.
...
However, the weather was clear that day, and the entire mountain village had their own tasks, and there was only Ning Qingtian, the idle person.
Seeing that he had breakfast, he was about to look for his wife to ask for advice on practicing.
But just as he was about to go back to the house, he saw someone running away, calling him while running.
He frowned and looked carefully, but found that it was Wang Wen, the little leader he promoted some time ago.
Two days ago, he gave Wang Wen five thousand taels of silver to open a hotel at the foot of the mountain to cover up his sights and inquire about the news.
Therefore, when he saw Wang Wen so eagerly climbing the mountain, he knew something might have happened.
So he stood there and waited. After only a while, he saw Wang Wen running to his side.
Ning Qingtian saw that he looked panting, and he was not in a hurry. He just waited for him to calm down before asking.
"What's wrong? You are not in the hotel at the foot of the mountain and are so eager to go up the mountain. Could it be that something big happened?"
"The master of the village, that foolish monarch actually held the imperial examination."
Everyone in the village knew that the boss was suffering from a deep hatred for blood, so everyone had no good name for the emperor.
"If you want to hold the imperial examination, just hold the imperial examination. What does this have to do with us?"
Ning Qingtian was a little confused. Although he was also a little strange about the imperial examination that had not started for almost twenty years, this year, but what does this have to do with him?
Could it be that I still expect to take the top scorer in the exam?
Wang Wen looked at him with a strange expression and then said,
"Well, Ning Jin, Mr. Ning wants to see you at the foot of the mountain, and said that if you don't see him, he will jump into our Liangshanpo and drown today."
Ning Qingtian's face turned dark when he heard this.
Speaking of Mr. Ning, we have to talk about the Ning family, which is famous throughout Anqing Mansion.
Since an ancestor of the Ning family took the imperial examination a hundred years ago, it really changed his life.
The family has been muddy and has been regarded as a scholar for generations, and has never planted the land anymore, and it has been the same all day long.
But I don’t know if the ancestor used up all the luck of his descendants or what happened. In the next hundred years, the Ning family has never even produced a scholar, let alone revitalizing the glory of their ancestors.
Until Ning Qingtian's generation, Ning Qingtian was already a little talented. Although he was just studying hard, if he could participate in the imperial examination, he would be the least effective to use a scholar to improve the situation at home.
But maybe it was because the Ning family offended God and it was also bad luck.
As soon as the imperial examination was born, it stopped and was held.
Secondly, Ning Qingtian was originally quite fair and fair. For some reason, he was attracted by the bandit leader nearby and insisted on robbers back to the maid to do something about "suppressing the village lady".
Ning Qingtian was too brave, and was killed by the bandits who broke into the Ning family with big swords and forced to steal people.
And at this time, Ning Qingtian happened to travel over.
But he was equally powerless and had no choice but to face the bandits robbing their brides. He could only go with the flow.
When Ning Qingtian went up the mountain behind him and got along with Yan Bailu, he revealed the news that he was still alive to his father at the foot of the mountain.
And from time to time, he begged his wife to give the old man some money and food, so he would not let the old man starve to death. It’s a pity that the old man never asked for it.
So, to be precise, this old man Ning is Ning Qingtian’s current biological father.
Ning Qingtian naturally thought about taking the old man up the mountain to live together, but the old man was very determined and vowed not to follow the thief.
Ning Qingtian had no choice but to go with him. One of the father and son was at the foot of the mountain and the other was on the mountain. He had almost no contact for three years.
However, as soon as the imperial court opened the imperial examination, the old man suddenly came. If there was no connection between them, Ning Qingtian would not believe it.
Thinking of the old man's emphasis on the imperial examination, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Okay, I get it, you go back."
After asking Wang Wen, who came to report the message, to step down, Ning Qingtian thought about it for a while, and finally decided to meet the old man.
At the very least, since I have used other people's son's body, I can't ignore the life or death of other people's father.
What's more, that old man is a cruel man who does what he says, with a bad temper and stubborn temper.
But just as he was about to go down the mountain alone to meet the old man, the door behind him suddenly opened wide. He turned around and saw that it was his wife walking out of it. He was now looking at him and said,
"Wait for me, let's meet my uncle together."
It turned out that Wu Qianlan, who was in the room, had already heard the information from Wang Wenhui.
Especially after learning that the imperial examinations had been re-entered, she was even more shocked.
At this time, I was in this village, who gave the order to hold the imperial examination? What is the purpose?
I had to figure out this problem myself, so after thinking through this, she saw that Ning Qingtian was about to go down the mountain, so she hurriedly followed her.
Ning Qingtian saw that she was going with her, but after thinking about it, he finally agreed.
If there is really something unexpected, it is easy to help with a wife.
So, the couple, who had their own ulterior motives, came to Jinsha Beach together, called a boat to take them down the mountain.
The boat arrived at the pier beside Liangshan without walking for a long time.
Ning Qingtian saw an old man wearing a black long gown from afar, with his waist straight and his eyes looking around. There were a few people from Liangshan beside him watching, as if he was afraid that the old man would jump out of the eight hundred miles of water.
When the ship was docked, Ning Qingtian quickly took two steps and came to the old man.
The old man heard footsteps coming from behind him, and then turned around. Seeing this, Ning Qingtian hurried forward and bowed.
"I have met my father for a long time, but I don't know that my father has always been safe?"
The old man ignored Ning Qingtian's greetings at all, and did not look at Wu Qianlan behind Ning Qingtian. He just saluted respectfully in the direction of the imperial capital, and then said to Ning Qingtian with a serious expression.
"Her Majesty the Queen is merciful. The imperial examination will be reopened this September. You must participate in the imperial examination this year, and the Donghuamen will sing the name to revitalize the glory of my Ning family ancestors."
