Ning Ze didn't know that his mother still had hope for him, so he took Su Rong and Fengling out of the Nanping Marquis Mansion and showed them around all the places he thought were delicious, delicious and fun.
At the end of the day, Ning Ze's back and back ached from exhaustion, and his legs were almost useless. Seeing the two of them with unchanging expressions, brisk steps and still full of energy, he sighed, "There is really no comparison between these people."
Comparing the two of them, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was indeed a useless waste. Even after walking too much, his feet hurt.
Fengling patted him on the shoulder, "You should exercise more, brother, you can't do this, you're too useless."
Ning Ze nodded. He also felt that he was too useless, but he felt that he was hopeless. He sighed, "It's too late for me to practice martial arts now."
"It's not too late. I'll teach you a set of boxing techniques. You get up every morning to practice a set of boxing skills, and then run around the Nanping Marquis' Mansion three times. I'll guarantee that you will be strong enough to beat a cow after one year."
Ning Ze wondered, "Is it true or false?"
"of course it's true."
Ning Ze was in trouble, "Get up early...how early?"
"Mao Shi."
"No, I can't get up."
Fengling was speechless, "It's almost midnight, why don't you get up? When you were studying in the past, you didn't go to bed until the rooster crows at three o'clock? Did you get up before five o'clock and continued reading?"
Ning Ze shook his head, "No."
He looked at Fengling sheepishly, "I always go to bed at midnight and get up at midnight."
Feng Ling clicked her tongue, "No wonder you are so useless."
He commented, "I remember when the results of the scientific examination were released, you got a second-class one hundred and thirty-seventh place? You didn't work hard, but you still got this ranking?"
Ning Ze scratched his head, "The husband who taught me before also thought that I am still good at reading. I just can't do martial arts. Unlike my elder brother, who is good at both civil and martial arts."
Fengling clicked her tongue again for a long time.
When the three of them returned to Nanpinghou Mansion, it was already night.
Ning Ze returned to his yard and saw his mother waiting for him in his house. When he saw him coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "You're back? Are you exhausted from the day?"
When Mrs. Hou saw him, she knew that her son was exhausted and was dragging his feet when he walked, but he didn't look unhappy or depressed.
Ning Ze nodded, sat down, and said with his legs hanging down: "My legs hurt, my feet hurt too. I walked for a whole day and visited more than half of the streets and alleys in the city. I'm exhausted."
Mrs. Hou smiled and said, "You are so weak. When I was young, if I went shopping, I could spend a whole day shopping."
Ning Ze muttered, "Fengling said the same thing."
He struggled for a moment, "Mom, where is Master Wu in our house? Let him teach me how to practice martial arts?"
Mrs. Hou said "Huh?" and was surprised, "You are so old."
"It's not too late for Fengling to say it." Ning Ze said: "He said that I am so useless because I have not practiced martial arts. Although I cannot practice martial arts very well, there is no problem in strengthening my body and being able to beat a cow."
Mrs. Hou smiled and agreed, "Okay, let Master Wu teach you tomorrow."
She sighed, "He is your eldest brother's enlightenment martial artist. He squatted on a horse and practiced pile driving, which was the hardest. Your eldest brother persisted, but when he was able to enlighten you, you cried and fainted three times. You relied on your father
, my son, how can I not know some boxing and kicking skills? Why do I continue to practice? It’s my fault. I can’t bear to leave you, a loving mother with many losers, so I let you go. Until now, you can’t do any kung fu at all. Such a big man
Yes, you still have to endure this hard work."
"It's not your fault, it's my fault." Ning Ze also sighed.
Mrs. Hou looked at him and said, "Mother heard that you came to Beijing to take the exam and actually got into the second class. Although you are at the bottom of the second class, mother was very happy after hearing this. After all, you can't say that you study hard."
Ning Ze was also very happy. He really didn't study very hard. "My son didn't expect that I did well in the exam."
When the results were released, he was still imprisoned in Prince Ruian's Mansion. At that time, he was only afraid of waiting for the imperial edict to be released and beheaded. He could not worry about his fame. At that point, his fame would have been over long ago.
Mrs. Hou asked him, "Ze'er, what are you going to do in the future?"
Ning Ze didn't know either, so he scratched his head and said, "Just eat and wait to die!"
Mrs. Hou was not unhappy about these words, "What kind of wife do you want to marry in the future?"
Ning Ze didn't know anymore and shook his head, "Mom, whatever you want!"
Mrs. Hou smiled and said, "Didn't you like your cousin before?"
Ning Ze immediately said: "I don't like it anymore."
Mrs. Hou looked at him, "What's wrong? Is it because you feel that you are no longer worthy of your cousin?"
Ning Ze coughed and said, "No."
He looked around and saw that no one was in the room. Then he looked out the window. The yard was very quiet and the servants had all retreated. He whispered: "Mom, please don't laugh at me when I say it. I have been in Beijing since I came to Beijing."
Later, when I met Miss Su Qi, I no longer liked my cousin."
Mrs. Hou: "..."
She took a breath and said, "She is not someone you can like."
"I know that. Your son still has some self-awareness. If he didn't have it before, he has it now." Ning Ze whispered: "The point I'm telling you is that I don't like my cousin anymore. As for who I will like in the future,
I have no idea what kind of person to marry."
Mrs. Hou was a little sad, "A woman like Miss Su Qi is indeed very easy to like. Not only men, but women also like her. I heard that after Princess Duanhua met her, she liked her very much and invited her to the Princess Palace.
I stayed in the house for a long time."
Ning Ze nodded, "Yes."
Mrs. Hou hesitated for a moment and asked him: "Mom has an idea, I don't know whether I should do it or not. Please listen to it."
Ning Ze nodded, "Mom, you tell me."
Mrs. Hou said: "Mother is thinking that you still have some talents. In Daliang, you can no longer serve as an official in the court, and you will not be able to take the scientific examination in the future. This means that your future is completely ruined, although mother also knows
, it’s not easy for you and your sister to come back safely. We should be content, but I always feel a little pity for you. Even if you don’t work hard, you have been studying hard for more than ten years since you were young. If you are so mediocre and ignorant,
Mom always feels that if you spend your whole life idle under your elder brother's hands, you won't be at ease even if you die. Mom wants you to go to Nanchu and follow Miss Su Qi to have a try."
Ning Ze opened his eyes wide in shock, "Mom, no, no, you, you... you want me to follow Su Rong to Nanchu?"
"Yes, you have some talent and learning, but the road to becoming an official in Daliang has been blocked. It is better to go to Nanchu and give it a try. It is worse than making a living under your elder brother." Mrs. Hou looked at him, "You can read and learn what you have learned since childhood. , is also the way to be an official. I heard that Nanchu selects talents in an eclectic way, even if they are disabled, even if they are women, they will have a chance."
Ning Ze opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time.
