Chapter 279: Slapping a Relative in the Face (4)
Chapter 279: Slapping a Relative in the Face (4)
In the original plot, after Ning's mother learned that the original body had died, she cried day and night, asking how the original body died.
Of course Wang Lun would not tell the truth, but pretended to be regretful.
"Alas, my cousin is just too worried. He knew that he would suffer from heartache if he failed the exam. I advised him to go home to recuperate, but he refused and insisted on waiting for the test papers to be compiled so that he could see how far he was from the successful Jinshi. As a result, when the book was really bought, he couldn't bear it after reading it. He said that the gap was too big and he would never catch up in this lifetime. Then he couldn't bear it anymore. At the last moment, he asked me to take care of you more in the future. Aunt, don't worry, since I promised my cousin, you will be like my own mother in the future."
"Yes, sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. Allen will take care of you."
Ning Mei gave Wang Lun a satisfied look and hypocritically advised Ning's mother.
Ning's mother was so sad that she didn't notice their expressions. She instinctively felt that the original person's death was strange, but she couldn't find any evidence.
From then on, Wang Lun used the excuse that he had agreed to the original body's request to take care of Ning's mother.
Ning's mother became depressed after losing her son and died soon after. The Wang family took the opportunity to swallow up the original family property.
Originally, the original family was wiped out, and the property should have belonged to the Ning family. However, before Ning's mother passed away, they had already taken control of the family business. Then they threw up their hands and said that the Ning family was already penniless, and they had been supporting Ning's mother for many days out of kindness, and they were lucky enough not to ask the Ning family for money.
Wang Lun became an official again, and no one in the Ning family dared to compete with him.
In fact, the original family was declining day by day, and there was not much property left. Even Wang Lun asked Ning Mei curiously, why did she have to support Ning's mother all these days just for such a small thing?
Ning Mei sneered, "Silly child, the Ning family is a family of gentry for many years, so they still have some good things hidden in the bottom of the box. Besides, I just want to vent my anger. When I got married, I saw that your grandmother's dowry jewelry was good, so I wanted her to give it to me as a dowry. But she refused, saying that she wanted to pass it on to her daughter-in-law and pass it down from generation to generation. Humph, I am her only daughter, and she always said how much she loved me, but she didn't even want to give me a dowry. But now these things are in my hands, aren't they?! My eldest brother and his wife don't look lucky, no matter how good the things are, they can't keep them!"
"That's right, mother. Well, these are all old things. Mother, you are a magnanimous person, so there is no need to be angry with them."
In this way, the Ning family was completely swallowed up by the Wang family.
After Ning Ning came through, of course she had to warn Ning's mother. Besides, since the things were replaced on the ground and placed in front of everyone, they would not be easily swallowed.
After all the instructions were given, and at the repeated urging of Wang Ren's family, Ning Ning finally took Wang Lun to Beijing to take the exam like a big boss.
After receiving Wang Ren's warning, Wang Lun no longer dared to joke with his life. He was extremely respectful and obedient to Ning Ning along the way. Even to Wang Ren, he was not so sensible and obedient.
After arriving in the capital, Ning Ning never brought Wang Lun with him when he went out to visit his fellow disciples.
Wang Lun was envious, thinking that these were all connections that would be useful when he entered officialdom in the future. But since Ning Ning would not take him with her, he did not dare to be stubborn and could only silently note down the people Ning Ning visited.
He was just waiting for the exam results to be announced. After Ning Ning's witchcraft took effect and she died, he could use the opportunity to report the death to contact these people, and then interact with them in the name of Ning Ning's cousin, and make all these connections his.
I gritted my teeth and endured, counting the days on my fingers, and finally the day of the scientific examination arrived.
Wang Lun, like a little follower, helped Ning Ning to prepare everything for entering the examination room. The two went to the examination room together, were assigned a room, said a few auspicious words to each other, and then entered the room.
Wang Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief. The wizard over there performed a magic trick and swapped the contents of their two test papers the moment they were collected.
It is said that it is very difficult to cast this spell, and it is extremely exhausting for the wizard himself. If Wang Ren had not spent a large sum of money, the wizard would not have been willing to help him.
Wang Lun also made up his mind to make his test paper as bad as possible, since he would have to give it to Ning Ning later anyway.
I believe that Ning Ning’s grandmaster or master will ask the examiners later how Ning Ning’s paper went, and they will surely be "deeply impressed" by then.
Even if Ning Ning was already dead by then, he would still try his best to ruin Ning Ning's reputation.
No matter what, he still had to endure a few days of hard work in the examination room. When the exam was over, he walked out with a pale face like all the other candidates, and went back to the inn to sleep.
After waking up, candidates who are familiar with each other will gather together again to discuss the test questions and comment on how the test went.
Wang Lun was also sweating, but from what Ning Ning said, he did well in the test and his answers were steady.
That's good!
Ning Ning is a famous talent. As long as he doesn't look disappointed or frustrated, it means that he will most likely pass the exam.
Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. He had paid a lot for the imperial examination and could be said to have worked very hard. However, he did not expect that he would get such a strange and tricky disease. It was really unfair to God.
But forget it. No matter how well Ning Ning writes, it is just for him. He just needs to wait and reap the fruits.
Thinking of this, he became extremely impatient and wanted to see Ning Ning's shocked and desperate expression.
The day for the announcement of the results soon arrived, and Wang Lunxing hurried to see the list, squeezing in the crowd like a loach.
Unexpectedly, when he saw his name on the list, he was stunned, with his mouth wide open, unable to recover for a long time.
The person next to him was impatient and pushed him, "Why, did you see your name? If you did, move aside. We can't see you if you're blocking the way."
He finally came to his senses, but he kept muttering to himself, "How could it be? Impossible, impossible!"
Soon, he was pushed outside by the crowd. When he tilted his head, he saw Ning Ning behind the crowd. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ning Ning's collar.
"Cousin, I didn't win, and neither did you. What's going on?!"
Ning Ning waved his hand away, "If you didn't pass, then you didn't pass. There are so many talented people in the world, why do we have to pass?"
"But your master clearly said that you are ready and will definitely pass the exam. How could this be? How can he not have the final say?"
Wang Lun was so distraught that he had no time to hide his feelings.
Ning Ning smiled and said, "Let me tell you why I didn't pass the exam. It's because I only thought of this as a practice. I didn't even finish the test paper. How could I pass the exam?"
"What?! Why didn't you finish the test on purpose?!"
Wang Lun's face looked ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone.
He really couldn't understand why Ning Ning looked so confident when he hadn't even finished the test paper. Was he just taking the test for fun?
Ning Ning brushed her sleeves and said, "It's okay to tell you. The last time I met my master, he tested my knowledge and thought I was quite good, so he decided to recommend me. But I had already signed up for the exam, and he said it was okay, and it would be good to go into the exam room and see the world, so here I am."
