But I saw Mrs. Jiang already sitting on the couch in the outer room of Fushou Hall. When she saw them, she smiled and said: "I guess you ladies couldn't sleep well last night, so I was about to send someone over to call.

I didn’t expect you to come.”

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "My wife doesn't know what's going on. It's like lard has blinded her heart. At this hour, she actually brought people over. They were all peony and Brother Xuan, and she didn't even remind me."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "You are like this yourself, why can't you blame the children? Liu Yatou and Brother Xuan are both sensible, so they must be more anxious than us." After that, let Yu and Ning go.

Both Xianbi and her brother sat on the chairs, and Aunt Lan also let her sit on a small stool.

After the little girls served tea, Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Is your husband going out to wait for the results to be announced? You never asked him how he did in the test? Are you sure?"

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "No, I went out early in the morning. As for how I did in the exam, I think it was pretty good. It's just that he said that the examiners of each subject have different preferences, so I really can't be sure."

Mrs. Jiang nodded and was lost in thought for a long time. Fang said softly: "Yes, if we can grasp the preferences of the examiner, so many people will not lose their names." But it was because he thought of Ning Shilan and Ning Shiyuan.

Brothers.

But she immediately smiled and said: "Forget it, whether he passes the exam or not, can our house still be without him? There's no need to worry too much. The third child usually seems easy-going, and I didn't expect him.

He is so open-minded. I have never seen him get angry in so many days. This level of concentration is extraordinary."

Mrs. Yu responded quickly and kept talking to Mrs. Jiang for half an hour. Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Yuan and others also brought several brothers and girls to greet them. Seeing them, Mrs. Yuan smiled and said: "

I knew that the third brother and sister would not be able to sit still at this moment, let alone you. Even when I think about it, I feel a little confused. I don’t know if the third brother can go to high school? The lintel of the Earl’s Palace, but just wait.

He shines brightly."

What she said didn't sound right, so Mrs. Jiang glanced at her lightly. The smile on Yuan's face froze, and she was obedient and quickly changed the conversation with other topics.

Mrs. Jiang said a few words, then her eyes fell on Ning Xianyue Ning's slender body. After looking at it for a long time, she said calmly: "If I read it correctly, this is the Qianyun that the Third Young Master sent a few days ago.

The clothes are made of yarn, right? They are indeed exquisite. No wonder you love them so much, but why do you only get two of them?"

Ning Xianyue came to Mrs. Jiang with a smile and said with a smile: "Old ancestors, we just got this yesterday. All the sisters have it. But they are reluctant to wear it. Only the granddaughter and the fourth sister can't live.

I really can't bear the heat, so I'm getting upper body. Yes, I heard that my ancestors had two sets of clothes before. Why didn't my ancestors wear them? It's really cool."

Mrs. Jiang took a look at the elegant gauze on her body. It was indeed like clouds and mist, adding an extra sense of elegance. Coupled with the exquisite appearance of her two granddaughters, it made them even more outstanding. But she didn't like Mrs. Tai in the end.

Luxury, Yin said calmly: "Now it's autumn. If you wait a few days, even if the autumn wind blows, you won't need to wear these clothes then. It's better to save them for next year. You two, let's see what you wear next year."

.”

Ning Xianyue stuck out her tongue, suddenly turned to Ning Xianbi, and said with a smile: "Yes, I was worried that the sixth sister would not have this Qianyun gauze, so I asked the sewing room to leave a set for the sixth sister from my piece of material.

Why don't you want it? Why are sisters so divided?"

Only Bai Caizhi and Ning Yulan knew that Ning Xianbi had obtained the fabric alone. In order to avoid causing trouble that day, Ning Xianbi specifically told Bai Caizhi not to let her publicize it. Those pieces of fabric were also given to Jiang by Yu.

Auntie, it will definitely not be revealed this year. By next year, even if it is revealed, everyone will know the truth, but time has already passed, and no one will bother to ask for details.

When she heard Ning Xianyue say this, Ning Xianbi knew she was showing off, but she wasn't angry at all. She just smiled and said a few words. Bai Caizhi looked at her calm and composed look from the side, sighed softly in her heart, and thought to herself:

This sixth sister, all of us have really fallen behind and lost our dignity. It is no wonder that the third young master is the only one who has a favor for her. Thinking of this, the look towards Ning Xianbi is a little complicated.

Because everyone was waiting for the announcement of the ranking information, they all had breakfast at Mrs. Jiang's place. About half of the morning, everyone had finished gossiping. Mrs. Jiang sent someone to invite Aunt Jiang, and Ning Yulan and

Mrs. Qu, the four of them were playing small cards when they heard the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps outside, and then Ning Shiyuan rushed in excitedly and shouted excitedly to Mrs. Jiang: "Mother, I got it, my third brother got it."

"

"bingo?"

When Old Mrs. Jiang got excited, she scattered the cards in her hand all over the table. She sat up straight, with excitement in her eyes, and said eagerly: "Really won? Did you accompany your third brother to see the list in person?"

Ning Shiyuan said with a smile: "My son has not gone over. Sanwang, who followed his third brother, just came back and said that the person who brought the good news will be here soon. I need my mother to prepare a reward."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Yingge, go and prepare a few. The officers who come to report will each be given five taels of silver and a big red envelope." After saying this, he looked to the side and was speechless with excitement.

Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "After all these years, you have finally made it through. Since you can win the imperial examination today, you may win the imperial examination tomorrow, so you can just wait for the third child to earn a title for you."

Mrs. Yu was so ecstatic that she didn't know how to respond when she heard what her mother-in-law said. Mrs. Jiang naturally didn't blame her. Mrs. Qu and Mr. Yuan couldn't help but feel jealous when they saw it. Mrs. Qu was fine with it, she

She has a title on her body. The Duyuan clan feels uncomfortable. Now that the eldest son has taken the title and the third son has earned his own fame, she is the only one in the house and can only be an ordinary woman.

Not only did Ning Shibo win the exam, but he also came in third place, which was an even greater blessing. When the exact news came, Mrs. Jiang was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. The officials who came to report the good news received five taels of silver.

They are all overjoyed with the big red envelopes. It should be noted that on weekdays, they go to ordinary people's homes to announce good news. It is very rich to have a bunch of money. This is five taels of silver. Ten bunches of money are equivalent to five taels of silver.

Five strings of money, which is equivalent to fifty strings of money, can they not be moved?

Looking at the joyful Earl's Mansion, Ning Xianbi felt as if she was in another world. None of this happened in her previous life, but now, everything has changed.

My mother has an errand and is respectable, my father has gained fame as a scholar, and he has achieved some success in medicine. In two years, the golden finger will be able to show some clues.

Everything is developing in an unknown direction, so what will be her fate in this life? For a moment, her heart felt heavy.

But when I thought about it again, I felt relieved again. Wouldn't it be good to secretly change my destiny? If I couldn't change it, I would have to marry into Prince Rui's palace, which would be a disaster. Everything in this life is so perfect, maybe It is God who wants to compensate me by making all my wishes come true in this life.

After all, winning the imperial examination was not a Jinshi. Although Ning Shibo was decent this time, it was not as good as Ning Derong's knighthood that day. Therefore, there was no grand celebration. The family just set up a few banquets and invited a few relatives and friends to have a drink. One time and it's all done.

Of course, Shen Qianshan would not miss the opportunity. He came to the Earl's Mansion with the gifts from Prince Rui's Palace, and went to Ning Shibo to congratulate him. The old man and the young man talked very warmly. Under this guy's disguise , Ning Shibo had almost forgotten that this was the young master of Prince Rui's palace, the distinguished child who was awarded the third-class medal at the age of ten.

After such a long time, Ning Xianbi became familiar with dealing with Shen Qianshan. She said a few words in a neutral tone. She was a concubine after all. No matter how much Shen Qianshan tried to find a chance to talk, he would still have to worry about his identity. , the two of them will be eleven years old next year. With the distinction between men and women, we can no longer be so casual.

After the excitement subsided, Ning Shibo got busy again. He was already a candidate for the exam, and all that was left was to study poetry and books in order to be able to soar in the examination.

Emperor Tian pays off his hard work.

Ning Shipo has been cynical for thirty years, but he is naturally smart and has a good foundation in reading. Now, with the encouragement of his aunt, he spent more than two years studying hard and finally made a leap in the examination.

In the later imperial examination, I don't know whether his article really won the favor of the emperor, or because the emperor remembered Ning Derong's contribution to saving the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, Yubi gave him a second place, and he became the second best in this subject in the Daqing Dynasty.

This year, the Earl's Mansion is really full of joy. First, Ning Derong was knighted, and then Ning Xianmei married into the Prince's Mansion. Now, Ning Shibo is ranked second in high school. Only Mrs. Jiang is so happy that she can't even close her mouth. Already.

After all these things were dealt with, not to mention Mrs. Qu, Yuan's family and Yu's family lost weight from exhaustion, even Ning Xianbi's chin became pointed.

Winter came in a blink of an eye, but the weather this year was extremely cold. When Ning Xianyue and Ning Xianyu fell ill one after another, the old lady did not let the girls go to school anymore. She only said that this winter, let They knit their own knitting, read and write, and wait until the weather gets warmer next spring before going to school again.

Ning Xianbi was finally able to soak in the Xinglin Garden every day again, and be accompanied by medical books and medicinal materials every day.

Do the math, after this year, after she turns eleven, she will no longer be able to soak in Xinglin Garden every day. Of course, she can still come and ask for advice if she has something to do, but like now, she spends four or five hours in Xinglin Garden every day. It is impossible to read books and make medicine.

Because of this, Ning Xianbi specially ordered people to carefully clean up the three houses that Ning Shibo built for her. There was only a small bed in the study for her to rest, and the other room was stocked with various concocted medicinal materials. And tools for brewing medicinal materials, from large grass pots to medicine pots for boiling medicine, from mortars for pounding medicine to medicine mills for grinding medicine, only a 40-square-meter room is fully arranged.
