The Ning family's motorcade entered the capital in a mighty procession. Old Madam Ning, who was sitting in the first carriage, looked exhausted, leaning on the couch without moving.

Duan Ronger half-knelt down to massage her back. Her service was very attentive and she was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Old lady, are you feeling better?"

Madam Ning sat up and smiled slightly, "Much better. Thank you for your hard work."

Duan Ronger was extremely docile. "It is the duty of the younger generation to serve the elders. It is my blessing to be able to serve the old lady."

She is well-behaved and obedient, good at serving others and very likable.

Madam Ning liked her very much. "You are so good. When I meet the emperor, I will choose a good marriage for you."

Duan Ronger blushed, "Madam."

Mr. Duan is a far-sighted man. He does not show up himself, but he has made arrangements for his children and grandchildren.

All the children and grandchildren went out to gain experience, and the little granddaughter was sent to live with Old Madam Ning.

After being together for a long time, there is always a sense of affection.

It’s no wonder that Duan Ronger is very good at serving people, and it didn’t take long for her to win the favor of Old Madam Ning.

All the children of the Ning family were sent to the capital, and it was inevitable that Old Madam Ning felt a little lonely. Duan Ronger was sent to her side at this time to help her relieve a lot of her loneliness.

Even if you raise a cat or a dog for a long time, you will develop feelings for it.

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. You are not young anymore, and it is time for you to start a family, have someone to take care of you and love you, and have a son, then your life will be complete."

Duan Ronger's face flushed, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

Madam Ning said with a loving face, "Your sister is already pregnant. She is a great contributor to our Ning family. You have been taking care of me day and night these days. I see your kindness."

Duan Ronger said sternly, "Madam, everyone only sees the bravery of the Ning family soldiers, but not your sacrifice behind them. It is because of your selfless dedication over the years that the men of the Ning family have no worries and can devote themselves to state affairs."

She said emotionally, "You deserve half of the credit for the Ning Family Army. You are the person I admire the most."

Old Madam Ning's eyes were hot, "Good child, you still understand me the best." Who in the world saw her contribution? Even her descendants didn't think so.

It was because of this thoughtfulness that she wanted to find a good home for her.

"We have many old generals in our Ning family. It's not difficult to pick one with good character and appearance. If you like civil officials, then choose one from the newly minted Jinshi. Do you prefer military generals or civil officials?"

Duan Ronger's face turned even redder, and she said shyly, "It's all up to the old lady."

Madam Ning thought for a moment and said, "You are the daughter of a civil official, so you should find a Jinshi. We have something in common."

"Don't choose a family with high social status. Choose a family with clean family traditions, simple family background, and good character. This kind of family is the most affordable."

When buying a pig, one has to look at the pigpen. When getting married, one has to look at the family’s reputation. If the family has a good reputation, then the family won’t be too bad.

With a simple family background, there is no need to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships, but Duan Ronger is not good at this.

Good character and a sense of responsibility are the most important things.

She explained them one by one, and Duan Ronger nodded slightly. Unlike her sister and grandfather who wanted to marry into a wealthy family, she just wanted a stable life.

Just then, there was a noise outside.

"What's going on?" The Ning family members lifted the curtain and looked out.

The scholars sat quietly at the entrance of the Confucius Temple, guarded by a group of guards who kept a close eye on them.

Nothing can happen to these people. Wait for the emperor to make the final decision. Those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who should be killed will be killed.

The scholars waited for a whole day and night, their stomachs growling with hunger, and they were already getting impatient and started shouting loudly.

"We want to see the emperor. We want to see the emperor."

"Examination cheating is such a serious matter, the emperor must give an explanation to all the students in the world."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come out and see us."

They were howling like ghosts and wolves, making so much noise that the guards were annoyed and shouted, "No one is allowed to make any noise."

A scholar stiffened his neck and said righteously, "Kill me if you can. Otherwise, you can't stop me from speaking out. I want to redress my grievances and the grievances of all the students in the world!"

The guard frowned, it was really difficult to do it.

At this time, the Ning family's convoy slowly came over, attracting everyone's attention.

Which one is it?

As soon as they saw the mark on the carriage, someone immediately recognized it. "Ning Family? Is it the Ning Family Army in the Northwest?"

The guards perked up and were on alert, "Everyone, step back. This is the car of the Ning family's female relatives."

A scholar suddenly shouted excitedly, "Excuse me, is Madam Ning here? I am Fang Jiashu, a descendant of the Fang family in Yuzhou, Jiangnan. Madam, I am your great-nephew."

Madam Ning in the carriage heard it, "Yuzhou Fang family? Fang Jiashu?"

In those years, the Fang family from Yuzhou visited the Ning Mansion to pay New Year's greetings every year and the visits were frequent.

"parking."

She lifted the curtain, stuck her head out and looked at the scholar who looked somewhat familiar.

The scholar was very excited, "It's really the old lady."

He wanted to run over, but was stopped by the guards, "You are not allowed to go over there."

The guard bowed to Madam Ning and said, "Madam, it's a bit messy here. Please leave immediately."

Madam Ning glanced at the scholars, all of whom looked a little embarrassed, "Are these all students?"

"yes. "

Madam Ning waved her hand and said, "They are just weak scholars. How could they be in any danger? Let Fang Jiashu come over."

The Fang family is a farming and scholar family with only one sister and one brother. It is a very simple family and is very suitable for Rong'er, but it depends on the character and personality of the man.

Fang Jiashu came over excitedly, and the others followed, saying that they admired General Ning's loyalty and bravery, and wanted to pay their respects to the old lady.

The guards wanted to stop them, but Madam Ning waved her hand and signaled them to retreat. They were just scholars who were powerless and had nothing to be afraid of.

Fang Jiashu was only a few steps away from the carriage when he stopped, knelt down with a plop, and bowed deeply, "Greetings to the old lady, I wish her a long and healthy life."

The others knelt as well.

Old Madam Ning looked at him for a few times. Although she called him nephew-grandson, he was actually very distantly related, a distant relative. However, the Fang family had always been praising the Ning family, so the relationship between the two families was still close.

"Why are you here, kid?"

A trace of anger appeared on Fang Jiashu's face, and he answered indignantly.

"To answer the old lady's question, I feel wronged. Master Rong Jingrong colluded with others and leaked the test questions in advance. We feel it is unfair, so we came here to sit in silence."

Madam Ning was shocked. "Lord Rong is not that kind of person. You must have misunderstood. It's not good to sit in silence. Let's all disperse."

"The emperor is a good person. She will definitely give everyone justice. Don't worry, go back and rest."

Fang Jiashu was full of doubt, "Will the emperor really pay attention to us?"

Madam Ning didn't understand others, but she knew Ning Zhiwei very well. With her personality, she would never allow cheating in the exam.

"Most definitely."

"I don't believe it." The scholar behind Fang Jiashu suddenly jumped up, pulled out a dagger, and rushed towards the carriage like a gust of wind.

"If we catch a member of the Ning family, we can negotiate terms with the emperor. Come on, let's go together."

Being too close, he suddenly attacked, catching everyone off guard.

"Old lady, be careful, ah."
