Chapter 1 There is no way to learn from a mountain of books
Winter has arrived, and the snow is falling.
Zhao Ning, who was wearing a large floral cotton-padded jacket, was curled up on his side in the storage room and enjoying the heat. He put down the "Spring and Autumn" he had just read silently in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:
"Confucius, Guan Fuzi, the two masters of all ages."
"Cultivation of the Spring and Autumn Period, reading of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the same Spring and Autumn Period through the ages."
"Why not learn from Emperor Guan and read "Spring and Autumn" at night!"
Zhao Ning spoke softly and stood up from the pile of books slightly, revealing a handsome face of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
A pair of black eyes that are as bright as the stars, but reveal a maturity and depth that is not suitable for this age.
Beside the bookshelf in the distance, several young men who were selecting miscellaneous books were already accustomed to this.
At this moment, several people looked at Zhao Ning who was about to climb out of the pile of books in the corner, and couldn't help laughing and said:
"Lingyu, your brother-in-law is quite interesting. He is newly married and doesn't want to sleep with his wife, so he hides here and reads these useless miscellaneous books. He doesn't go out much these days. Could it be that he really
Don’t you feel that it’s boring here? But you can still study here with peace of mind. It’s really strange.”
"Ever since he married his sister, he has asked his ancestors for such a boring and boring job. Now it seems that he is really happy and has no intention of going back..."
"Does he really not know that there are no cultivation techniques here and all the books are useless miscellaneous books? No matter how hard he studies, it will be useless?"
"Is it possible that he is still daydreaming, imagining that one day a carp will jump over the dragon's gate, like Confucius, he will suddenly realize Confucianism and Taoism in one night, and the awe-inspiring energy will enter his body, he will become a saint immediately, and the whole world will celebrate? Is this a legendary history?"
Beside Lingyu, there are several young men who are as brave and handsome as Zhao Ning.
This person's name is Li Lingyu, and he is the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion.
The few people next to him are also children of the Li family who play well with him.
"He has been studying here these days, and has already regarded this place as his home. Even Sister Yingchun's place is indifferent, and they don't look like a newly married and loving couple."
"Most of the idle books here are useless books. There are no martial arts techniques used for cultivation, or Yuan Mystic Code. Although there are many miscellaneous books, there are more than tens of thousands of volumes, but no matter how many such miscellaneous books are read, what can be done?
How to use it?"
"If you don't cultivate the great path, how can you continue your wealth and family glory and become a master?"
"He wasted his time in such a way, and spent his whole life just like a crawler. In the end, he could not live up to his dignity."
Li Lingyu looked at Zhao Ning not far away and spoke nonchalantly.
Li Ying looked at Zhao Ning with a smile and said, "I heard that he is the third eldest child in the Zhao family, and he is the son of a concubine."
"His mother was born as a maid in the family. An Guogong's indulgence by chance gave his mother a chance. But the fate of this maid is the fate of a maid after all. The master's bed is easy to climb on, but she does not have that blessing.
Become the half master with Destiny."
"I heard that his mother died inexplicably after giving birth to him, and she didn't enjoy a few days of wealth."
"He is not favored by his father and aunt at home. Now because of a previous incident, the Zhao family needs our Li family to help, so he is brought to the Rongguo Mansion to become your brother-in-law. The two families are in contact with each other.
In-laws, exchange of interests, but using two people's lifetime happiness as a bargaining chip, are all ridiculous victims, and you and my sister are also pitiful people."
"In my opinion, he clearly knows that he is a waste and an ant, and has completely given up hope."
"This is how we live our lives, dawdling, and living one more day is just living one more day."
"After all, it is better to live than die."
When Li Ying said this, she frowned slightly, with a deep disdain in her eyes.
Li Lingyu looked at Zhao Ning, with a look of pity and anger in his eyes. It was a condescending look down upon the weak by the strong, and said slowly: "My sister, although she is my cousin, is also a concubine.
She is an older sister, but our sisters and brothers all treat her as our legitimate sister, and even our ancestors love her very much."
"How despicable it is for a concubine to marry a son-in-law!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the two major families need to marry each other to ensure that the alliance will advance and retreat together."
"I'm afraid it won't be Zhao Ning's turn to take advantage of this."
Hearing this, Li Ying looked at Li Lingyu curiously and said, "Has the previous matter been arranged properly?"
"It's settled. With us clearing up the relationship, his father will return to Beijing soon?"
"Oh, what a pity."
Li Lingyu has a lot of affection for handsome people, but she really hates Zhao Ning.
In his heart, he even believed that Zhao Ning had harmed his sister Yingchun.
He couldn't help but cursed: "Who cares about his life and death now?"
"If our ancestors hadn't allowed us to do anything to him, do you think that such a shameful thing like him would be worthy of lingering here and destroying my sister's innocence?"
"Lingyu."
Li Ying's face changed slightly when he heard this, interrupted Li Lingyu's words, and said: "As a younger brother, you should not say such heartless words. No matter how unbearable he is, he is still your brother-in-law by name. He is in the Rites Yamen
Are you still planning to kill your eldest brother-in-law, who has exchanged life contracts and marriage contracts, so that your sister will hate you for the rest of her life and remain a widow for the rest of her life?"
Li Lingyu was startled for a moment, but his eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he said: "What else can a waste like him be left with? He is just an ant and a piece of grass, raising idiots who waste food. How about killing him with one knife, and all is gone."
"Enough!?"
Although Li Ying looked down on Zhao Ning, he also knew that Zhao Ning was a pitiful person. As a brother in the family, he had to persuade Li Lingyu again to give up such dangerous ideas, and hurriedly persuaded him: "A humble bastard can't understand."
Does he really have the qualifications to choose when it comes to cultivation? He has no choice!"
"Zhao Ning, it was not his intention to marry into our Rongguo Mansion, so why are you so difficult?"
"Brothers all know that you are unhappy and dissatisfied that such a brother-in-law ruined your beautiful 'wooden sister', but can you change the decision of your ancestors?"
Li Ying's face was indifferent, but everything she said made sense.
Li Lingyu moved her lips, slightly stunned, and remained silent.
How could he not understand these truths?
The next moment, Li Lingyu sighed slightly in her heart.
It's just that Li Lingyu has been hanging out in the boudoir of her sisters since she was a child, and has already formed a deep friendship with her sisters at home. How can she sit back and watch her sister marry such a useless, useless, worthless bastard son-in-law...
.
Zhao Ning is not from this world, and he has no awareness of the outside world as an ant.
After taking a brief rest, he once again immersed himself in the mountains of books and the sea of learning.
Take pleasure in suffering and forget about external worries.
Concentrate on reading without thinking about anything else.
At present, Zhao Ning can only rely on studying hard to vent his depression and dissatisfaction with the world.
Study, study hard, study day and night.
After months of studying hard, I have read more than ten thousand volumes.
Good fortune has finally arrived, and the path to heaven will open.
"Boom..."
As a shocking explosion sound resounded through the sea of mind, Zhao Ning's eyes became numb, as if he had fallen into an astonishing state of enlightenment, his heart boiled, and countless information poured into his mind.
