The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country
Chapter 143: Disrespect
Chu Ning'an used the last little time he had to sharpen his sword, and Ru Yue was not idle either. The county town was not far from the town, and it only took two hours to get there by carriage. However, with five exams in a row, it was impossible to go back and forth every day.
In order to give Chu Ning'an a comfortable environment to take the exam, she asked Ah Xi to go to the county town a year ago and rent a small courtyard with a quiet and elegant environment near the examination hall, which was fully equipped with all the necessities of life.
As February approached, Ru Yue prepared Chu Ning'an's daily necessities and repeatedly reminded him to check everything he needed for the exam and prepare to go to the county town for the exam.
Although Mr. Wu only had one disciple, Chu Ning'an, Xingzhi Academy still had eight candidates going to the county to take the exam. Yang Sixian and Chen Yihe were also going with them. It seemed that there were quite a few people, so Chu Ning'an told Mr. Wu in advance that he and Ru Yue would go together and would not wait for the students from the academy. However, when Yang Sixian heard about this, he also wanted to go with Chu Ning'an.
As soon as he arrived at the library, he heard that Chu Ning'an had a fiancée in the village, and he was shocked. To be honest, a man with Chu Ning'an's looks is more than qualified to marry a daughter of an ordinary official. And with Chu Ning'an's talent, it is not unimaginable that he will pass the imperial examination in three years. By then, he may be worthy of the ladies from the capital. But he, he actually got engaged to a village girl. It's simply unimaginable!
He had always wanted to visit Chu Ning'an's house to see him, but he was always rejected on the grounds that he had an exam coming up and had no time to entertain him. This made him think that Chu Ning'an's fiancée must be a shameful country girl. Thinking about a person like Chu Ning'an being paired with a vulgar country girl, he felt it was a waste of talent.
Now that he heard that Chu Ning'an was going to separate from Shuyuan and choose another place to live, he said that he could not tolerate it anymore and must go on the road with Chu Ning'an. Others did not know what he was thinking, but Chen Yihe knew it very well. He kept persuading him with kind words, not wanting his curiosity to affect his relationship with Chu Ning'an.
"Cousin, Ning An is traveling with his family. It's not appropriate for us to follow them."
"What's inappropriate about that? We all have our own carriages. We're just traveling together. Brother Ning An won't mind." Yang Sixian looked nonchalant.
"Cousin, we have only known Brother Ning'an for a short time. You should have felt that he has always treated us with courtesy, but he doesn't like to talk about his private affairs with others. You just want to know what Brother Chu's fiancée looks like, but that is his private matter, not something for people like us who don't know him well to comment on." Chen Yihe's words were already quite harsh, but Yang Sixian still insisted on his opinion.
Chen Yihe had no choice but to follow him, as he was afraid that Yang Sixian would be too casual with Chu Ning'an and his family and offend them.
On the morning of the third day of February, Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue took a carriage to Pingyang County. As soon as they got on the official road, they met Yang Sixian and Chen Yihe who were also going to the county.
"Brother Ning An, what a coincidence, we meet here and happen to be traveling together." Yang Sixian pretended to meet by chance and said in surprise.
"Hello, Brother Sixian, Brother Yihe, what a coincidence indeed." Chu Ning'an still looked calm and composed, with no trace of the surprise of meeting an old friend on the road. "Brother Erqiang, let's pull over and let Young Master Yang and his group pass first."
The official road leading to the county town was not wide, but two carriages could pass each other. Generally, carriages traveling in the same direction could only go one in front and one behind. There was nothing wrong with Chu Ning'an doing this, but it revealed his intention to let them go first.
"Brother Ning An, there's no need to be like this. Since we're all heading to the county town, why not travel together so we can look after each other?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Sixian. I have family members traveling with me in the car, so I'm afraid I'll delay your trip, so I won't bother you any more."
"Oh? Brother Ning'an brought his family with him, so we should go and pay our respects." After saying that, he walked straight to his carriage without waiting for Chu Ning'an's consent.
He had a nonchalant air, and anyone could tell he had no respect at all. Chu Ning'an's smile faded, and a chilling aura emanated from him that he had never felt before. Chen Yihe shuddered and hurriedly pulled Yang Sixian back, saying to Chu Ning'an, "Don't mind, Brother Ning'an. I'm not being disrespectful."
