But he just met today, and Ning Jiang was willing to help this point. Bai Zijin was grateful.

Despite this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Brother Ning, but I still have my grandmother at home and I am old. How can I leave her behind and go to the provincial capital?"

In the room, Feng, the grandmother of Baizijin, had already heard their words and said in the room: "Sun son, Mr. Ning is right. You are a scholar now. You should focus on your studies. You can't really plant here for the rest of your life? Besides, you are already old now and your marriage with the Zheng family should be done. Your grandfather was very kind to Zheng Shangshu. If it weren't for your grandfather's corpse, Zheng Shangshu would have left his body in a deserted mountain. I want to come and go to the Zheng family. The Zheng family would always take you and me in love with your grandfather's kindness to his family and your marriage with the Zheng sister. You can also calm down and study hard."

Ningjiang looked at Baizijin.

Bai Zijin explained in a low voice: "The Zheng family my grandmother mentioned was Zheng An, the Guanglu doctor of Tongzhou. She was once the left elected minister of the Ministry of Personnel. My grandfather had great kindness to the Zheng family, and Zheng Shangshu has always held the etiquette of my grandfather. Zheng Shangshu has two sons and one daughter, and his daughter is called Zheng Xiuxiu. The income from his later years has been in a marriage contract with me."

Then hesitated: "But, my family has now fallen into such a field..."

Ning Jiang said: "Brother Zijin is such a bad word. I heard from you and Grandma Ling. The Secretary of Zheng was in trouble and Ling Zu once had kindness to him. Now your family is in trouble, I think he will not stand by. What's more, since you are married to the girl of the Zheng family, if you are mourning and unmotivated here, wouldn't it delay the girl Xiu'er? If you can pass the imperial examination, the girl Xiu'er will marry her and at least have a family member. Could it be that the daughter of a daughter will come to farm with you?"

He also said: "If Brother Zijin feels that his family is in a bad state and is not worthy of the Zheng family, then he doesn't have to worry about it. Natural talents must be useful, and it is normal for a real man to go ups and downs. Since the ancestors can become a scholar to be awarded a medal, I believe Brother Zijin can do it too."

Ning Jiang's tone was sincere. Ning Jiang believed that when he gathered seven rebels in the southwest in his previous life, he was so powerful that even the newly born Yuan Demon Emperor had to send generals, Da Zongxi to assassinate with extraordinary force, Ning Jiang believed that he would naturally be able to stand out when the storm came to the forefront.

But for Bai Zijin, he was just a young man who had not experienced much worldly affairs. His family was in a dilapidated state and was at the trough of his life. Although he was a scholar, he was just the last one and could not even pay his land tax. He was even bullied by a small master and a few yamen runners in a remote county town. At this moment, Ning Jiang's trust not only made him flattered and made him feel proud.

Chewing on Ningjiang's words that "natural talents must be useful" in his heart, Bai Zijin bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings from Brother Ning. I'm thinking badly. I'll take my grandmother with my brother Ning to the provincial capital tomorrow to prepare for the autumn examination!"

On the second day, Bai Zijin rented the land at home to other nearby tenants, took his grandmother with him, and went to the provincial capital with his Ning brother and sister.

Along the way, Ningjiang paid all the fares and accommodation fees for them, and then rode along a tributary of the long river.

Because Feng's family is old and cannot withstand too many bumps, their itinerary is not fast, and it took a few more days before they arrived in Tongcheng.

When he arrived in Tongcheng, Ning Jiang told Bai Zijin about the yard he rented by Peihu, a tribe in the northern part of the provincial capital. Bai Zijin once again thanked Ning Jiang for taking care of their grandparents and grandchildren along the way.

After they parted, Bai Zijin took his grandmother and inquired all the way to the mansion where the Zheng family of Guanglu Doctor Zheng was located.

The Zheng family's mansion covers a wide area and is magnificent. The two stone lions in front of the door show their mighty power, with red tiles and yellow walls, which are uniquely gorgeous.

Bai Zijin and Feng came to the Hongqi gate together, picked up the buckle and knocked it a few times. After a while, the door opened. The manager who was watching the door looked at them and frowned when he saw them coarse cloth.

Bai Zijin handed over the door letter: "Bai Zijin, the son of Bai Boliang, the former commander of the light chariot, came with his grandmother to visit the Guanglu doctor, please help me inform you."

The manager glared at them, probably suspected that they were liars or daqiufeng, took the door post and looked at them several times, glanced at them a few more times, and then said, "Wait!" The two guards watched here and entered with the door post.

The grandparents and grandson waited for a long time before the manager walked out and said arrogantly: "You guys come with me."

Bai Zijin swallowed his anger and walked in with his grandmother, and came to the main hall. He saw a man with a jade belt and a golden seal and purple ribbon standing there. It was Zheng An, a doctor of Jin Zi Guanglu. Zheng An first invited Feng to the seat and said, "It turns out that the old lady has arrived!"

Mrs. Feng hurriedly asked her grandson to come to see her, and talked about her grandson's intention to have an autumn examination this year. Zheng An encouraged Bai Zijin with a smile. After a while, he asked her to arrange a room and let Mrs. Feng and her grandson live there for the time being.

After relocating the grandparents and grandchildren, Zheng An returned to the inner room. His wife Huangfu came up and said, "Master, why did you really keep them? The Baijiajia was granted the title of the National Pillar and the family background was prominent. Our two families were engaged to the same family. Now their family is in ruins. Do you really want to marry our Xiu'er and suffer with the children of the Baijiajia?"

Zheng An said helplessly: "Why do I still want this marriage? But you have to think about it. When I was in trouble, Baiguozhu helped me. This is well-known. Now that their grandparents and grandchildren are coming to surrender, if I leave them alone, wouldn't this news be hindering my reputation? Besides, Baizijin and Xiu'er in our family have been married after all. Although I am now at the level of Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, I am just scattered at home. I have recently gone through various relationships and have finally come to the court again. How can I give people the opportunity to gossip?"

Huangfu said: "Master means..."

Zheng An said: "Even if the engagement is to be cancelled, it is best if the Baijia side takes the initiative to cancel it, otherwise it will make people gossip."

Huangfu thought about it and said hatefully: "What the master said is, but Mrs. Feng and her grandson are really unreasonable. Their family has been so dilapidated that it is not in line with my Zheng family. If you have some conscience, you should have cancelled the marriage voluntarily. Why did you come here like this?"

Zheng An said: "Madam, you are wrong. Why are they not clear about the truth? They are too clear about the truth. Now they are nothing and are poor. Naturally, even if they die, they will cling to our family."

He sighed: "Thinking about it now, I really shouldn't have had such a marriage. Alas, there are such shameless people in the world!!!"

Huangfu said: "That's..."
