"There are roads in the mountain of books, and hard work is the path; there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and hard work is the boat."

"Good words, really good words."

"Good style. Good character."

"I'm afraid that this character already has 70-80 percent of the master's spiritual demeanor. I'm afraid that this person has been familiar with calligraphy for many years and must be a white-haired famous teacher. Otherwise, it would be difficult to have such foundation and ability."

After that, Tanchun carefully collected it, as if he were collecting rare treasures like He's Bi, which seemed very precious.

Zhao Ning didn't care when he saw this.

Even if I give Tanchun a piece of calligraphy today, it won’t hurt to write more tomorrow.

Xichun also took a look at the calligraphy and painting he got. When he opened the calligraphy and painting to look at it, he also pondered and recited: "The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Good calligraphy, really good calligraphy. Good style. Good.

Character and character. Use books as mountains

, Diligence can reach the top of the mountain; learning is the sea, and the boat of hardship can reach the other shore. The sword is sharp, but it needs to be tempered; the plum blossoms are fragrant, but they bloom in the winter when the flowers are withered and the white snow is white. They endure the wind, frost, cold snow, and stand alone and proud."<

"Second brother-in-law, how can you be so knowledgeable? You are truly astonishing, as if you were banishing an immortal."

"No one except a heavenly immortal or a thousand-year-old scholar could write this article."

At this moment, Xichun gave Zhao Ning the best, highest, and most favorable evaluation of others in her life.

For some reason, when Xichun looked at Zhao Ning again, he felt that the person in front of him had become a mist, like a sea of ​​stars with infinite secrets. What he had seen recently was just a star in the sky, and it was still unknown.

I have seen the real starry sky world.

Even Tanchun, a wise man, looked at Zhao Ning with admiration and had a different kind of expectation in his heart.

When Zhao Ning saw this, he smiled lightly and said: "I don't know, the two sisters are here today, but there are other things?"

Unexpectedly, Tanchun and Xichun's faces changed slightly when they heard this, and they said: "This matter has something to do with the second brother-in-law's aunt. She recently asked her servant to come over and send a message, saying that she wanted the second brother-in-law to come back to the house to talk and celebrate his birthday."

Although Zhao Ning was very unhappy with the aunt and believed that the aunt was the biggest suspect of murdering his mother, Zhao Ning currently had no direct evidence to prove that the aunt was related to the matter. He really needed to go back and find out what happened back then.

The people around my mother forced them to find out the truth about her murder.

Zhao Ning thought for a moment after hearing this, frowned, and said, "When is my aunt's birthday?"

Tan Chun and Xichun looked at Zhao Ning in surprise when they heard this, thinking in their hearts:

This second brother-in-law doesn’t know his aunt’s birthday?

Is it possible that his aunt has never called him to celebrate his birthday?

Why did he have to ask someone to come over recently and ask him to go back to celebrate his birthday?

For a moment, Xichun and Tanchun also felt that this seemingly ordinary thing seemed to have become a little dangerous and unpredictable in vain.

Xichun knew a little more about Zhao Ning than Tanchun, so she looked at Zhao Ning regretfully and said, "The day they informed me to come was the day when the imperial court held the Spring Festival, February 9th."

When Xichun said these words, both Tanchun and Xichun were silent.

Zhao Ning thought angrily in her heart: Witch, evil mother, you really deserve to die!

Zhao Ning guessed that Xu's aunt knew that he was going to take the imperial examination and deliberately came to cause trouble for him.

February 9th is the day to die. It’s really damn good.

Unnecessarily suppressing him and blocking his future, just like when he lived in Anguo Mansion, he wanted to nourish him and make him a useless idiot who could be bullied and posed no threat.

Seeing Zhao Ning's expression turned ugly, Xichun even explained: "Second brother-in-law, I also asked someone to find out that Mrs. Shang's birthday was not on that day. In the past, when Anguo Mansion celebrated the eldest lady's birthday, it was on March 3.

The third day of the lunar month is not like that

One day. I am afraid that this matter must be some misunderstanding, which has caused your aunt to have a prejudice against you and specifically target you. I also heard that your father has returned today, and I thought they would restrain themselves...

”

Having said that, Xichun also looked at Zhao Ning pitifully.

As the saying goes, those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take advantage of others are short-handed.

Today Xichun and Tanchun both took things from Zhao Ning, so naturally their hearts go to Zhao Ning.

Xichun even bluntly said to Zhao Ning: "Then...Second brother-in-law, otherwise, you won't go back? Just refuse on the grounds of physical illness?"

Tan Chun frowned: "Sister Xichun, this can't be done. If my second brother-in-law doesn't go back for my aunt's birthday and deliberately shirks and refuses, I'm afraid he will end up with an unfilial reputation. One of the standards for the imperial court to examine literati is:

It is filial piety. All dynasties have governed the world with filial piety. How can the second brother-in-law be unjustly reputed as unkind and unfilial? If he really acts like this, I am afraid that the second brother-in-law will be discredited and infamous."

Xichun was also furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but said helplessly: "This won't work, that won't work either, then Sister Tanchun, tell us what to do."

Seeing that Xichun was anxious, Tanchun calmly persuaded his sister and said: "Sister Xichun, don't be angry. I have no choice at the moment. I will ask my master and husband later. They are well-informed."

, he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he should be able to give us a solution."

Hearing this, Xichun also turned her anger into a smile and said with a smile: "Yes! Master and sir, they are well-informed and will definitely be able to give us a solution."

After saying that, Xichun looked at Zhao Ning and persuaded: "Second brother-in-law, don't worry about this. We took your famous calligraphy today and we will definitely help you and be on your side."

After saying that, Xichun and Tanchun said goodbye and left to find the Master and the gentlemen to discuss the matter.

Zhao Ning asked Taohua, the maid, to send away the two sisters in the mansion, but he couldn't help but cursed: "Wicked woman, you killed my mother, but you still refuse to let me go? Even if I take the imperial examination, I will miss it."

Me."

"If this evil woman succeeds, I'm afraid I won't be qualified for this year's imperial examination."

Just because the imperial county examination continued the old system of the previous dynasty, the county examination was only held once a year.

If Zhao Ning misses the county exam and misses it, he will have to wait another year and wait until February 9 next year to take the exam again.

But if Zhao Ning's aunt, Mrs. Shang, uses this reason again to delay Zhao Ning's imperial examination next year, I'm afraid that Zhao Ning will fail the imperial examination in his life.

Son-in-law.
