Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack
Chapter 37: Poor Cannon Fodder in the Hands of the Reborn Girl (10)
As a juren, the land under his name does not have to pay taxes. Even if they have to give Ning Ning some benefits, it is still much lower than the taxes.
He could borrow books, but Ning Ning declined the idea of putting the land in his name. He had read the original plot and found that Liang Xiuyun had not been reincarnated in that life. His original self had passed high school and some people wanted to put the land in his name, but he refused.
Now that Ning Ning has come here to complete the mission, he doesn't want to do anything that goes against his own will. Besides, this body still has to be returned to its original owner.
Now that he had a lot of money on hand, Ning Ning asked a classmate who lived in the capital to help him rent a quiet little courtyard.
The county is not far from the capital, and his next step is to go to the capital to take the imperial examination. Now there are so many things around him that he can't concentrate on his studies. It would be better for him to live in the capital in advance so that he can study with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he returned to the village and stayed for a few days.
The villagers were very respectful when they saw him. They would salute him from a distance and were reserved when speaking to him, as if they were afraid of making him angry. That was because of his different status.
If he passed the imperial examination and returned to the village, the villagers would still dare to joke with him.
But when he became a "juren gentleman", no one dared to joke with him casually.
When he returned home, he didn't dare to visit easily. Only the patriarch and a few elders of the clan came to visit, and they spoke very respectfully.
The original body's parents were naturally overjoyed to see him, and they looked at him as if they couldn't get enough of him.
But he didn't talk much. He had been studying in the academy for many years. Although his parents loved him very much, they didn't have much time to spend together.
He said he wanted to take his parents to the capital. His parents looked at each other and thought for a while. The original father shook his head and said, "It would be nice for us to go to the prosperous place under the feet of the emperor for a few days. But we don't know what to do if we live here for a long time, and life will be hard. It's better to stay in the village. Although we don't farm, we still have people to talk to. If you really want to take us away, we will go with you when you graduate from high school or are given an assignment."
Ning Ning did not force it. After staying for a few days, she bid farewell to her parents, said goodbye to Master Liao, and set off for the capital.
The courtyard is not big, with three rooms and a screen wall, which is enough for him to live alone. He can hire a cook to cook his three meals a day, and the cook's wife will come to do the laundry and cleaning for him. He just needs to read in peace.
Seeing that he was so relaxed, the system couldn't help but remind him, "You don't care about Liang Xiuyun? You have exchanged all her regret points, but she hasn't generated any new regret points recently, which means she has done something again. Aren't you afraid that she will do something naughty again?"
"I can't just go and kill her. It's useless to spend too much energy on her. The most important thing is to strengthen myself. As long as I'm strong, why should I be afraid of her making trouble? Besides, I'm not going to leave her alone."
Ning Ning raised the letter he had just received and said, "I'm keeping an eye on her."
He still kept in touch with his good classmates, chatting with them through letters, and was able to get a general idea of what was happening in the county.
"Come on, let me see what's going on."
He took out the letter and frowned slightly, "It looks interesting."
This classmate was a bit of a gossip-lover. In addition to asking him questions about his studies, he would also tell him interesting stories. He also told him mysteriously that the magistrate probably loved his daughter so much that he secretly brought Liang Xiuyun back home.
The magistrate also knew that his daughter was in disgrace, so he sent someone to carry a sedan chair and quietly bring her back through the back door.
They didn't want to make it public, and others pretended not to know. The female relatives did not mention Liang Xiuyun when they sent messages to each other.
She was deliberately forgotten by everyone.
The magistrate couldn't care less as he was busy with his official duties.
Their county is located by the sea, and fishing at sea is the livelihood of many people.
But the magistrate suddenly ordered the fishermen to find a kind of fish, forcing them to put aside other things. Many fishermen were very anxious.
System, "Is the magistrate's behavior related to Liang Xiuyun? What is Liang Xiuyun going to do?"
"These were not mentioned in the original plot."
Even if the original body has experienced a lifetime, it is impossible for it to know everything that has happened.
Things like this were not in his memory.
Ning Ning said calmly, "Forget it. The imperial examination is approaching, so I should deal with this first. I will keep an eye on Liang Xiuyun."
Ning Ning was exhausted from the exam again. She didn’t show it on her face, but she complained to the system in her heart, “Find me a world where I don’t have to take exams in the next world. I feel like throwing up after looking at the test papers now!”
System, "I know, I know. Why are you so busy?"
On the day when the results were announced, the cook and his wife went with Ning Ning to see the results. They were even more enthusiastic than he was, stretching their necks to help him look for his name.
There was a huge crowd of people in front of the list, everyone stretched their necks eagerly to look, and there were all kinds of accents from all over the world.
From time to time, someone would cheer and dance with joy, while others would look from the top to the bottom of the list and then hang their heads and stamp their feet in sadness.
There were also many people who rushed to the successful candidates, seeming to have memorized the words and spoke them non-stop like a machine gun.
"My dear husband, my family has several restaurants. My daughter is in her prime, so I wonder if you would like to marry her?"
"Please move aside. You still have the nerve to talk about a few restaurants. I have more than a dozen inns at home. I am willing to give five of them to my daughter as a dowry!"
"My daughter is so beautiful that she can be compared to the moon and flowers. I can also give her hundreds of acres of fertile land as a dowry!"
This is what is called "catching a son-in-law from under the list".
"Hey, Brother Ning, you've got the upper hand---ah!"
Ning Ning covered the cook's mouth with her hand, "You're seeing things!", and then pulled him into the alley next to her.
As expected, the people around them no longer paid attention to them. Two old men were about to charge towards them, but after hearing what he said, they withdrew their stance in dismay.
"Ning, what are you doing? I clearly saw that you won the first place in the imperial examination. My goodness, this is a great joyful event!"
The cook was so happy for him that he couldn't stop smiling. Although he was already familiar with him, he kept looking at him up and down as if he had just met him today.
Oh, he has cooked for the top scholar, so he can ask for a raise in wages in the future!
"Look at their attitude. If you shout them out, we can still go back. I have my own ideas about marriage and don't want to cause any more trouble."
"Oh, I see. Brother Ning is a man with ideas. Let's go back and prepare the fruit. You are the top scholar, so someone will surely come to tell you the good news."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
Ning Ning gave him the wedding money she had prepared, and the cook was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. "My kid is also studying in a private school. I will put the wedding money you gave me under his pillow when I get home, so that he can get some of your literary talent."
"Hehe, you still think you are a scholar. You are a top scholar in every subject, but you are not a high-ranking official. You really have never seen the world!"
Before Ning Ning could answer, a weird voice floated from the entrance of the alley.
Liang Xiuyun and a maid were standing at the entrance of the alley, staring at them coldly.
