Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 277: Slapping a Relative in the Face (2)

As long as a person is chosen and put under a spell, and then has the person take the exam with Wang Lun, the wizard can replace his paper with Wang Lun's without anyone noticing.

But this kind of witchcraft that defies fate and changes destiny also comes at a high price.

The wizard was able to accomplish this task after receiving a large sum of money and risking his life, borrowing the power of an evil god from southern Xinjiang.

But the evil god needs human lives for sacrifice.

If Wang Lun could pass the exam after the test paper was changed, the person whose test paper was changed would lose his life.

If Wang Lun still failed the exam after changing the test paper, he would lose his life.

After Wang Ren went back and thought about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

So who should I choose?

After thinking about it, they decided to target the original body.

Everyone knows that the original person is extremely talented and it is a sure thing that he will pass the exam, so why not just exchange papers with him?

As soon as Wang Ren and his companions arrived, they used the invisible and tasteless witchcraft on the original body according to the wizard's instructions. It can be said that from that moment on, they were mortal enemies and were not relatives who were willing to repent.

So, when Ning Ning said that he didn't plan to take the exam, Wang Ren's family immediately panicked.

Mother Ning was also stunned. "An Ning, why don't you take the exam? The teacher said that you are ready and you will definitely pass the exam."

"Mom, don't worry, I have my own ideas."

He patted Ning's mother's hand. Seeing that he looked confident, Ning's mother calmed down although she was still a little hesitant.

She was used to listening to her son and never making decisions on her own. Since her son said so, there must be a reason for it.

But she calmed down, but Wang Ren's family couldn't.

When they just entered the door, Wang Ren went up and patted the original body on the shoulder, saying that he had really grown taller, and took that opportunity to use witchcraft on him.

If Ning Ning doesn't take the exam, Wang Lun will have to bear the backlash of his witchcraft.

Wang Ren immediately broke into a sweat. "Come on, what's your idea? Tell us so we can hear it. Taking the imperial examination to become an official is a chance to bring honor to your family. How can you give it up, An Ning?"

Ning Mei also said, "Yes, yes, if you have any difficulties, just tell us, we will help you if we can. If you don't take the imperial examination, my brother will definitely sigh in regret if he knows about it."

Ning Ning, "As you know, my family has spent too much money on studying in the past few years. Now that I have passed the imperial examination, I plan to make some money first, restore my family business, and then take the exam again. Anyway, the imperial examination is held every three years, so it's not too late for me to take it again in three years."

"Oh, that's wrong."

Wang Lun waved his hands anxiously, "This is a different time. Cousin, you know nothing will change in three years! In addition to the imperial examination, there is also recommendation for official positions. I heard that there has been a rumor in the court that the imperial examination will be abolished and replaced by recommendation. If that happens, we will have no one in the court to recommend us, which will be a big disadvantage."

This is the official system of this world. If you want to enter officialdom, besides taking the imperial examination, there is also the recommendation route.

However, neither of their families had anyone in the court, and the Wang family was a merchant family, so it was impossible for them to be recommended. So he knew that this path was hopeless and simply gave up this extravagant hope.

Ning Ning, "If the imperial examination is abolished in the future, it means that it is my destiny. Even if I am not lucky enough to be an official, I will not complain about it."

Wang Lun: ...You can’t, but we can!

But no matter how they persuaded him, Ning Ning insisted that he would not take the exam this time. Wang Ren was anxious and could only slap his thigh and said, "Ning, you don't want to take the exam because you are worried about the money. You don't have to worry about it. Your uncle has made some money over the years. Your uncle will give it to you."

Ning Ning's face darkened. "What are you talking about? Do I need your help because I can't afford to live anymore? Even though I love money, I also earn it in a proper way. How could I ask for your money for no reason?"

Seeing that Ning Ning was about to get angry, Wang Ren gritted his teeth, slapped himself twice, stood up and knelt facing the window.

Everyone in the room was surprised.

Ning's mother asked him, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Ren secretly pinched himself and forced himself to cry, "I'm so sorry to my brother-in-law, wuwu, I'm not a human being!"

He said that he had been busy with money transactions before and had forgotten about borrowing money from Ning's father.

Recently he hired an excellent accountant to sort out his accounts, and only then did he find out the accounts recorded from that year, and he did find out that he had borrowed money from Ning's father.

He immediately regretted it and felt that what he had said before was too harsh. However, he was Ning Ning's elder after all, and for the sake of face, he was embarrassed to admit it in person. So he took the initiative to go to the house and asked Wang Lun and Ning Ning to go to Beijing together. He wanted to cover Ning Ning's expenses along the way, and then find an opportunity to return the money to him.

He cried to Ning's mother, "Look at my brain. Without pen and paper, I can't remember anything! I wanted to go to your house to apologize, but I was too embarrassed to say it out loud because of my face. But when I think about it, my old face is worth nothing!"

Ning Mei also understood what he meant and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, since we have talked it out, we will pay you back now. This way you will have more money on hand. You can let An Ning take the exam. The child's future cannot be delayed!"

Ning's mother was still worried about Ning Ning's future, so she looked at him and advised him to go to Beijing to take the exam.

Ning Ning looked at Wang Ren without saying anything, and Wang Ren immediately had an idea and went back to get the silver note to pay off his debt.

Ning Ning stopped him and asked how the interest rate should be set.

Wang Ren: ...You still want interest?!

"Well, when I borrowed the money from your father, I didn't tell him there would be interest, that..."

"Alas, uncle, you know that if I don't leave more money for my mother, I really can't leave with peace of mind, so how about -"

"Well, there is interest. Let's calculate the interest right now."

Finally, he gritted his teeth and went back to get two thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Ning Ning, "This time you should finally go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, right?"

Ning Ning checked the banknotes and said, "But my father didn't sign a loan agreement with my uncle at the beginning. Now that I have received so many banknotes from you, I am afraid that it will not make sense in the future."

Wang Ren had no choice but to write another receipt, saying that he had borrowed money from Ning's father in the past. Although the receipt was lost, he should keep his word, so he would return the money owed in full.

After so much trouble, Wang Ren wiped the sweat from his head and asked Ning Ning if she had no worries this time.

As a result, Ning Ning sighed and said that it was not the case. He was not at ease leaving his mother at home with so many banknotes. He should use the money to buy some good land.

Wang Ren gritted his teeth, knowing that this time he couldn't find a way to steal the banknotes while Ning Ning was not at home.

You can't buy good quality farmland just by paying money, so he had to use his connections to help Ning Ning buy the farm.

Afraid that Ning Ning would not take the imperial examination, he did not dare to use any tricks and the farmland he bought for Ning Ning was indeed good farmland.

If he didn't have to please Ning Ning, he would have kept this fertile land for himself long ago.
