A dish of peanuts, a dish of braised beef, and a jug of water wine.

Ning Yunjin sat leisurely on the side of the restaurant facing the street, resting his chin and lazily looking at the bustling pedestrians downstairs.

It is normal to be so decadent in the morning. After finishing the provincial examination, he has been lazily unable to lift his energy for the past few days. It feels like he just wants to play wildly and rest to his heart's content after the college entrance examination.

After all, no matter how talented you are, the imperial examinations are all about knowledge and memorization. Even if Ning Yunjin has the ability of photographic memory, he still has to scan and understand all the books.Anyone who has experienced it knows that the feeling of stuffing his mind is not at all uncomfortable. He just wants to relax his mind at the moment.

Perhaps this experience similar to the college entrance examination made him inadvertently recall the memories when he was still in Yangcheng.

Back then, in order to reward myself for the good test scores, my parents specially adjusted the holidays, and the five members of my grandparents and grandparents went to Europe to play happily for nearly a month.

Those splendid and magnificent buildings, exquisite and luxurious churches, streets where classics and moderns blend, beautiful landscapes, and the noble cultural relics of "other countries" preserved in each national museum... the past that was originally thought to be dusty, even if it is only opened With a small gap, those warm memories gradually filled his heart, and Ning Yunjin couldn't help feeling depressed.

He had to admit that Yang Cheng's life had brought him great changes, even though sometimes these changes made him feel like he was going to lose weight, but the impact on his heart and morals was huge.

It turned out that the bad thing about me in that life was that I had mothers and no fathers to teach me, and my family education and morals were all floating clouds. In my living environment, only fists were the last word, and everything was just for myself to survive better—— —even if by all means.

Finally, the scholar I met later taught me the most basic ethics and morality, and my military career taught me what brotherhood is, so in the end, after gaining power, I didn't become a villain that even I despised.

He has no memory of the first 18 years after he became Yangcheng, just like a blank sheet of paper. Even though he has some habits that are hard to change, he has developed an independent personality that belongs only to Yangcheng.

At that time, his parents were very strict with him. Although the elders of the Yang family loved him, they would not spoil him too much. If he made a mistake, he would be educated.

Even though Yang Cheng, who was spoiled and raised, is somewhat arrogant like most only children, his words and deeds still have the demeanor of everyone.Children are most affected by the family environment. Under the influence of family members, even if they recover their memories later, the growth experience engraved in their bones has become another personality of him.

In this life, his personality has switched between the two from time to time, and now it has gradually settled down. When facing relatives and friends, he is mostly Yang Cheng with an off-line personality, and other times it depends on the situation. Ning Yunjin heaved a sigh of relief.But he didn't know that such a contradictory personality made people feel more mysterious and unpredictable, with a unique charm.

Trying hard to bury those peaceful, stable and happy lives in his heart, he pursed the corners of his mouth with some melancholy.When he came back to his senses, Ning Yunjin suddenly saw two people he knew downstairs.

Chu Ling looked at the bag of food in Ning Yunting's hand, and smiled coyly, "It's different for married people. They know how to take things home and feel sorry for their daughter-in-law! The jujube cake in Daoxiang Village is especially hot. buy."

Ning Yunting shook his things and raised the corners of his lips, "Whenever I go out shopping without bringing back food, what's so strange about it?"

Chu Ling curled her lips and said, "You used to bring food to your gluttonous brother, can it be the same as what you bring to your daughter-in-law?"

"I bought this for him too!" Ning Yunting raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I tell you, he has become obsessed with eating this for some reason recently, and everyone will bring him some when they go out."

Chu Ling slapped his head, opened the fan with a swish, shook it, and sighed, "Tsk tsk, the treatment of your younger brother...he is an adult who has participated in the imperial examination and likes to eat these sweet and greasy pussy things! Want me It's him, if my dad sees eating these, he'll beat me over the head. Your family is lucky, but you're so used to him that you rush to buy them for him!"

"We are happy!" Ning Yunting said triumphantly, "Can ordinary people compare with my mistress? Who can be as capable as my mistress!?"

"Tsk! Stop talking about him." Chu Ling couldn't help but spat, "With his existence, which one of our peers in Beijing can hold his head up."

Hearing what he said, Ning Yunting felt as if he was praising himself.Seeing his hopeless younger brother's appearance, Chu Ling could only shake his head helplessly, "I'm really not worth it for Tong'er. In your heart, a daughter-in-law must be ranked after younger brother! She is the first child. , you should pay more attention to her, or else Dan Shu will come back and beat you up."

"Who said that. Tong'er also likes Xiaoer very much." Ning Yunting couldn't help but soften his face when he mentioned his wife who had married two years ago and the child who was about to be born.

His wife is Mu Tong'er, the younger sister of his good friend Mu Danshu. Both of them knew each other well, and after Tong'er put down the sign, they agreed on their own.

Although the Mu family is not as good as the prosperous Ning family, marrying a woman from a low family is also in line with the tradition. Otherwise, it is not impossible for the old lady of the Ning family to come forward, but Peihua, who was born as a concubine, is If the daughter-in-law could not be suppressed, everyone in the Ning family was very satisfied except for the old lady who complained about the marriage.

The two were talking, and suddenly a hidden weapon in the air came towards Chu Ling. Although Chu Ling looked thin, he was still a royal guard after all. He had always practiced a few hands. He closed the fan and swept it away. Knocked down.

When the two of them, who were facing the enemy, saw that the hidden weapon on the ground was just a peanut, their expressions were so embarrassing!They looked in the direction from which the hidden weapon was sent, and found Ning Yunjin who was slapping the table with a smile.

Ning Yunjin waved to them, and the two walked up with stiff faces.But before they had time to greet each other, a janitor of the Ning family ran upstairs out of breath, and cupped his hands at Ning Yunjin, "Second young master, the old man please return home as soon as possible."

Ning Yunting frowned and asked, "What did the old man say?"

Only then did the boy find out that he was there, and hurriedly greeted Ning Yunting.He glanced around in embarrassment, and then whispered, "It's a distinguished guest who came to look for the second young master without paying his respects. But seeing their expressions seemed bad, the old master ordered the younger one to come and call the second young master back."

Ning Yunjin nodded, and said to his brother and Chu Ling, "In that case, I'll go back and see who this unexpected visitor is. Brother, do you want to continue shopping?"

"Let me accompany you!" Ning Yunting was a little worried, and besides, he was planning to go back home.Seeing that the two brothers had business to do, Chu Ling wisely left.

After returning to the mansion, Ning Yunjin found out that the person who came was actually Zuo Shipinglin. He glanced at the grandpa who was receiving guests, and found that the old man had no expression on his face, so he was relieved, at least he was sure that it was not someone from the family who had something to do.

Zuo Shipinglin looked worried, worried about something, his expression changed slightly after seeing Ning Yunjin, he seemed a little excited.

He is the grandfather of the Ning family brothers, even though the Zuo Shi family has treated them well since their mother passed away except for the elder Ge, but Ning Yunjin and the others cannot lose their manners.

After they finished seeing the ceremony, Zuo Shipinglin didn't care about lying any more, and said directly to Ning Yunjin, "Xiao Er, grandfather is asking for your help this time!"

"Ask me for help!?" Ning Yunjin said in surprise, "How can I help you if my grandson doesn't work?"

Zuo Shipinglin was a little embarrassed to speak, he hesitated, "It's not about the court!"

Ning Yunjin's heart moved, the only disadvantage of Zuo Shi's family at present is that there is no one who awakens the power of blood, and the only thing that can make this grandfather who thinks highly of himself but has little ability come to him is related to the power of blood.

He didn't want to agree casually without knowing the situation, and looked at Ning Taoxu as if asking for help.

Ning Taoxu nodded slightly to him, and Ning Yunjin felt relieved, anyway, he only had to listen to his grandfather's arrangements.

Ning Taoxu smiled and said, "Brother, you are too impatient, the children will be scared."

"I can't help being in a hurry, brother, you also know the situation of Zuo Shi's family!" Zuo Shiping Lin said with a wry smile.

He has always complained about the relatives of the Ning family. He just relied on the blessing of God to make a fortune, and won the favor of Prince Jin with his good looks. If it wasn't for the emperor's preference and the old man's approval , he didn't want to marry the Ning family at all.

But at this time, he was asking for help from others, and he didn't care about his contempt for Ning Taoxu, so he made a pleading gesture, "Brother, I don't want to stop talking, old brother knows it's not kind to ask for help this time, but You also know that nothing will happen to the old man now, and Xiao Er has Zuo Shi's blood on his body, no matter what, he must help with this job!"

It seems that something happened to my great-grandfather. The honor and favor of Zuo Shijia are all gathered on this old man. This grandfather is just a dou who cannot be supported. He took off his hat and went home to eat himself. How could he have been sitting in the position of Minister of the Household Department for so many years.

Ning Yunjin curled his lips secretly, seeing how unskilled his words were, they were obviously intimidating and intimidating, this is not begging for help, it is seeking hatred!No wonder I haven't become a palm seal official for so many years, tsk tsk!

Ning Taoxu was tired of dealing with him for a long time, and when he heard such harsh words from him, he smiled solemnly, and said coldly, "It's not that the younger brother doesn't help, you know the rules in the clan. Besides, I can't help you, Xiao Er is strong but he hasn't left the teacher yet, if something happens, who can take the responsibility!?"

Seeing the anger on Zuo Shipinglin's face, and even the indignant expressions on the faces of the two entourages behind him, he changed the subject again, "If you want me to say, it's better to ask the emperor for a favor, maybe Mr. Ge It will be saved!"

Seeing that he refused to let go, Zuo Shipinglin snorted, stopped talking, and actually left directly!

After he left Ning Yunjin, he asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with great-grandfather? Is the situation serious? My grandfather lost his composure like this!?"

"It's an old illness!" Ning Taoxu sighed, "The dog days in Beijing are too stuffy and hot. Since last month, Elder Ge's health has been going up and down. I heard it was a bit dangerous two days ago."

"Could it be that they want Xiao Er to help his great-grandfather treat his illness?" Ning Yunting came back to his senses now, and he asked in surprise, "Have they forgotten all the rules of the clan!?"

"If you really forgot, you wouldn't ask the Ning family!" Ning Yunjin sneered.Although he felt that besides making people smarter, the power of blood would be beneficial to others if used too much, but it was really effective in praying for blessings and curing diseases, so he practiced it honestly. for so many years.

If it were according to the original history, Ning Taoxu would have died of illness last year, and Ning Jingxian would have been injured because of that funeral, but because Ning Yunjin would pray for the two old people every year during the Chinese New Year and bless them with good health, so now he is in good health. It's fine.

However, such an ability requires at least the abilities of the land sacrificer and above. According to Ning Yunjin's analysis, if it is just a simple prayer that requires a unit of energy, then the land sacrificer needs to pay two units of energy in exchange, and at least one needs to recuperate. Around a month, the body will become weak during this period.

However, if it is performed by a heaven worshiper, it only needs to be exchanged at an equal value. For Ning Yunjin, the lost energy can be recovered in six or seven days by practicing one more week every day through the peak power of the second-level Wuming Kungfu.

If you want to add the effect of healing, you have to pay at least three or four units. That's why Wen Zhen, who made two shots in a row, appeared to be particularly weak, and even caused him to go crazy.

If it is not forced, no one who has activated the power of the blood is willing to do such a thing, it is a bit self-harming!

After all, the power of blood is a precious resource. If it is used indiscriminately, it will cause trouble. The clan has long stipulated that it is not allowed to use the healing ability without the approval of the ancestral temple, and cannot use the ability to prolong the fate of people, like Zuo Shiheng Diseases caused by the decline of body functions after old age are not within the scope of treatment.

"Elder Ge was infected with the cold first this time, and then caused other problems, so Master Zuo wants to play this side-by-side."

Seeing that Ning Yunjin had figured out the entanglement, Ning Taoxu explained, "However, no matter how much support is given, the people in the ancestral temple will not be willing to take on this kind of work. If it is poked at the emperor, there will be people who will obstruct it." I don't know how many people are staring at the position of Mr. Ge's chief assistant, how can Zuo Shi's family get what they want, so this time they can only count on you!"

It was only then that Ning Yunting figured out the ins and outs. On the one hand was his great-grandfather who was good to him, and on the other was his younger brother's body. It was difficult to choose between the two, so he had no choice but to shut up wisely.

Ning Yunjin was not as entangled as he was, "Grandpa, great-grandfather wants to be saved no matter what the situation is, but when is the best time to do it?"

"Your grandfather doesn't have much capacity. Since he failed to come forward in person, he has only one solution left!" Ning Taoxu glanced at him gratifiedly, "If that's the case, you should give the prince some face!"

Ning Yunjin nodded understandingly.

Just as Ning Taoxu guessed, the prince's invitation was sent to Ning Mansion in the afternoon.I took a day off, and Hong Ming, who is going out to visit the palace tomorrow, will stop by and invite his cousins ​​to go with him.
