Fang Chengyu was not puzzled and smiled at Fang Yuxiu.

"Of course my second sister is nice to me," he said.

Fang Yunxiu looked at them.

"What kind of riddle are you talking about?" she asked.

Fang Yuxiu took her arm.

"Sister, why do you think Mr. Ning helped?" she asked.

Why are you talking about this again?

"Didn't you say it was Zhenzhen's idea?" Fang Yunxiu said.

"I mean it was Zhenzhen's idea, but what about Master Ning's idea?" Fang Yuxiu said.

Fang Yunxiu never liked to think about these things, and clapped her hands when she heard that.

"Put it simply," she said.

"I think it's because Master Ning wants to help Zhenzhen and is willing to help." Fang Yuxiu said.

The topic seemed to have returned to the topic again, and Fang Yunxiu was stunned.

"Why?" she asked again.

"Because I like it." Fang Yuxiu said seriously.

like?

Fang Yunxiu was stunned.

Does Mr. Ning Shi like Jun Zhenzhen?

How is that possible?

Fang Yuxiu took her arm and smiled at Fang Chengyu.

"I just said that Jun Zhenzhen and Mr. Ning had discussed it, but in fact they didn't." She said, "Otherwise, Manager Liu and Jun Zhenzhen would have written to mention this, but neither of them mentioned it, which shows that this happened suddenly."

Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded.

"Second sister is right," he said. "Second sister is really smart."

"It's something that happened suddenly, there's no way to think it through." Fang Yuxiu said, "If you can make a decision impulsively, you must be a little fond of it. This is the most reasonable reason. You've thought of it, too, right? Tell grandma and mother the same thing, right?"

Fang Chengyu chuckled again.

"Yes, yes," he said.

"Are you happy that Jun Zhenzhen is loved and protected by the Tenth Master Ning?" Fang Yuxiu asked with a smile.

Fang Yunxiu suddenly understood what the two of them were talking about.

Regardless of whether Ning Yunzhao likes Jun Zhenzhen or not, everyone knows that Fang Chengyu likes Jun Zhenzhen.

It is indeed a bit cruel for a person to say that the person he likes is liked by another man.

Fortunately, Fang Yuxiu took over the conversation in time and cleverly used Miss Jun's idea to evade the topic.

Fang Yunxiu shook her head and patted Fang Yuxiu.

"Why are you teasing him?" she said.

"Why am I teasing him, sister? I'm concerned about him." Fang Yuxiu said seriously, and then looked at Fang Chengyu, "Chengyu, are you happy that the Tenth Master Ning is protecting Jun Zhenzhen?"

Fang Yunxiu glared at her.

Fang Chengyu sat up straight.

"Second sister, I like her. Of course I am happy that she is loved and protected by others." He said seriously, "Do I feel happy only when she is hated and bullied by everyone?"

"That's right." Fang Yunxiu said, holding Fang Yuxiu's arm, "Stop talking nonsense."

Fang Yuxiu smiled and nodded.

"It seems that this matter is fine for now." She said, "But we have made enemies with the Jinyiwei, and there will definitely be troubles later. We will take care of the account, Chengyu, you just focus on the capital."

Fang Yunxiu nodded, and Fang Chengyu also nodded with a smile.

"Okay." He said, watching Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu walk out.

The room was quiet again. There were very few maids at Fang Chengyu's place, and they would not come in without being called.

Fang Chengyu sat motionless in the chair, looking at the letter on the table in front of him with a smile on his face.

I only read the content of the letter once, but I have memorized it by heart.

"This is a good idea," he said to himself, clapping his hands and smiling, "It's a stroke of genius, brilliant."

He laughed for a moment and then suddenly slumped over the table, just like a child sitting upright in the school who feels tired and relieved when he sees his teacher leave.

"But I'm not happy," he said, looking at a large clay doll on the table.

I bought this on the way back from Runan.

He stretched out his fingers and poked the clay doll's chubby smiling face again and again.

Have you ever had that feeling?

I am happy, but not happy.

Not happy, not happy, not happy.

…

Fang Yunxiu stopped and looked thoughtful.

"Tell me, does Mr. Ning really like Zhenzhen?" she asked in a low voice.

"Why would he do such a thing if he doesn't like someone? He's not crazy." Fang Yuxiu said with a smile.

"It could also be that he saw injustice and came to the aid of the weak... or he could be angry at the behavior of Lord Lu of the Jinyi Guard..." Fang Yunxiu guessed.

Fang Yuxiu laughed twice and waved her sleeves.

"Maybe," she said.

Fang Yunxiu followed her.

"It's fake anyway, so don't think too much about it," she said.

"Yes, we don't need to think too much." Fang Yuxiu smiled with a hint of embarrassment, "Let the Ning family think about it."

As soon as she finished speaking, firecrackers were heard.

"It's the New Year, is there anyone getting married?" She looked outside.

The sound of firecrackers came one after another, and more and more seemed that the whole Yangcheng was lighting firecrackers, as if it was New Year's Day.

"This is congratulations from the top scholar." Fang Yuxiu said.

It is indeed a great joy to have a top scholar every three years.

"That's good news." Fang Yunxiu clasped her hands and said, "Madam Ning must be very happy."

Fang Yuxiu smiled.

"It is a cause for celebration, but I don't know whether Madam Ning is happy or not," she said.

…

Compared to the hustle and bustle in Yangcheng, it was quite quiet outside the Ning family mansion in Beiliu. There were just a lot of people coming in and out of the Ning family mansion, and children were running around and laughing.

But the atmosphere was still peaceful, not frantic.

"Our Ning family has forty Gongsheng, twenty Juren, and nine Jinshi."

In the Ning family mansion, Master Ning smiled at everyone.

"This is nothing to be excited about. The county is overextended."

Everyone laughed.

"This is as it should be. How can we not congratulate you just because there are too many?"

Master Ning smiled but said nothing.

In the room behind the partition were the women, and Madam Ning was like a star among them, listening to everyone's compliments and congratulations.

"At least all my time studying was not in vain." She said with a smile, her expression calm and humble, "Forty tribute students, twenty imperial examination candidates, and nine Jinshi, all of them came this way."

"But there has never been a top scholar like this before." Ning Yunyan said on the side.

She had already tied her hair up in a bun, and this morning she received the news and brought the gift that her mother-in-law had personally selected. Her husband also put down what he was doing and accompanied her in person, and they hurried back under the envious gazes of her sisters-in-law.

Although I am very happy, I still feel a little regretful.

It's just one year late. It would have been great if the wedding date was set this year, so she could have had a brother who was the top scholar in the imperial examination to send her off.

Looking at the smiling faces in the room and listening to the women's congratulations, Ning Yunyan was a little dazed.

This is all Jun Zhenzhen’s fault.

I heard that this slave girl became a miracle doctor and even developed a smallpox vaccine. A stupid relative in her husband's family even came and said that if she set up a longevity tablet for Miss Jun at home, it would protect the children in the house.

What a shame.

Fortunately, a bitch is a bitch, she will seduce men, let her be taken as a concubine by King Lu Yan, and then be tortured to death by the princess.

"Yun Zhao is twenty this year, right?"

"Is it time to kiss?"

The women's words reached Ning Yunyan's ears, causing her to come back to her senses and look over.
