At first, Li Zheng went door-to-door to ask Su Liang for medical treatment, and everyone was doubtful about her medical skills.
But after treating the elderly and children one after another, word of mouth spread, and more and more villagers took the initiative to say hello to her as she walked on the road.
Thanks to the original owner's grandfather, Su Yuanzhou, who was a famous doctor in the capital, Su Liang knew medical skills and would not arouse any suspicion.
Erniu was dragged by several people to ask Su Liang if he had received any money for treating his grandfather. Erniu told the truth, it was not taken, but he had issued an IOU and would have to pay it back later.
Some people murmured behind their backs that Su Liang and Ning Jing were so wealthy, but it was really unkind to charge poor people like them money for medical treatment.
Aunt Bai came to Su Liang and said, "Your money didn't come from the strong wind, so why should you pay for medical treatment? They don't take pictures of themselves by taking pictures of themselves. What the hell are they? They're all lazy and lazy, so you don't have to."
Take it seriously! If you dare to default on your debt, just look for the truth!"
Subai is fair and warm-hearted, and has great prestige in the village.
Su Liang must accept the consultation fee because he had foreseen this situation and didn't care after hearing this.
Aunt Bai mentioned Bai He's marriage again, and she couldn't hide her joy. The girl she was talking about this time was a niece from her natal family. She was handsome and had a good figure. She looked like she could have a son. They would not let Bai He have his temper anymore.
Su Liang just smiled and said a few nice words, but she didn't know how Liu Huilan was doing after returning to her parents' home. She must have been married off again soon.
The medicine that Su Liang gave Yan Shiba in the past two days contained ingredients to help her sleep. After drinking it, she became very sleepy. She deeply suspected that Su Liang deliberately prescribed the medicine because he didn't want to hear her call her "Sister Liang."
But Su Liangyi said righteously that getting more rest is very important for the recovery of the injury, so that she should not be a villain.
Ningjing went to Erniu's house to deliver food every day, and sometimes stayed there for half a day. Su Liang thought he had gone out to hang out and was just minding his own business.
On the seventh day of August, Ningjing came back from Erniu's house again and brought back a medicine box.
It was made by dismantling a huanghuali chest of drawers sent from Qiu Ming Villa. Su Liang didn't even know when Ningjing moved the chest.
The medicine box is not big, with a simple and elegant appearance. The handlebar has smooth lines and is equipped with a strap, so it can be carried or carried on the back.
There are three spaces of different sizes inside, which are exquisite and practical.
Su Liang tried it and found it was lighter than expected.
"Thank you. You can order food today." Su Liang said with a smile.
"Sister Liang, I want to order some food too! Whatever he gives you, I will give him ten in the future!" Yan Shiba, who was awake, immediately regained his sense of presence.
"Okay, you can eat whatever you want today." Su Liang was in a good mood and even became gentle towards Yan Shiba.
As a result, Ningjing said, "I don't want to eat anything she wants."
Yan Shiba was angry, "I won't eat what he wants to eat. Sister Liang, you are not allowed to do it!"
Su Liang carried the medicine box back to the room, "Stop ordering it. Eat it if you like."
"I like to eat whatever Sister Liang does, unlike some people who are picky." Yan Shiba said with a strange yin and yang attitude.
Ning Jing was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Yan Shiba, who had started eating at the same table with Su Liang and Ning Jing yesterday, was sticking to Su Liang's body the whole time, and was not nice to Ning Jing. She was a head taller than Su Liang, and her clothes were a bit too short for Su Liang. She had apricot eyes and a round face.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the killer.
"There will be an exam the day after tomorrow. Do I have to live in the county in advance?" Su Liang asked.
"What's the test?" Yan Shiba was puzzled.
When he learned that Ning Jing was going to take the imperial examination, Yan Shiba sneered, "I'll tell you that he is very ambitious. When he gets the honor and becomes an official, he will definitely kick you away when he marries a young lady! Today, with
Sister, let’s go!”
"I'll go by myself tomorrow." Ning Jing answered Su Liang's question.
"I want to take a look too." Su Liang was a little curious. The imperial examination system of Qian State was similar to the imperial examinations in history that she knew, but they were not the same.
"Then let's go together." Yan Shiba took him along smoothly.
"You stay and look after the house." Su Liang said.
Yan Shiba's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't know what he thought of, but he nodded in agreement.
Su Xingzhe did not spread the news that Ning Jing was going to take the imperial examination, not even to his family. When he came back from injury that day, he only said that he had fallen on the road.
In the afternoon of the next day, Ning Jingcai drove Su Liang away from Sujia Village and headed for the county town.
Su Xingzhe left early in the morning, and many people saw him off at the entrance of the village. Mrs. Niu cried so hard that she had runny noses and tears, unknowingly thinking that her son would never come back.
Su Liang suggested that she come to drive the car halfway, so Ning Jing changed with her.
"You can read a book." Su Liang said.
Ning Jing took out the wooden hairpin he bought at a clothing store and carved it carefully.
When we arrived at the county town, there were two inns in total, both of which were full.
Su Liang simply drove around in the car and saw someone hanging a rental banner. He asked directly if he could sell it. After some bargaining, he finally spent three hundred taels to buy a small school not far from the county school. House.
The house is very clean, with a well, a millstone, and a pomegranate tree with green branches. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the branches are bent by the bright red pomegranates.
Su Liang asked Ning Jing to clean up, and she drove to buy two sets of bedding and some food utensils.
As the sky darkened, smoke curled up from the cooking stoves in the small courtyard, and the smell of meat attracted the neighbors to look around frequently.
"I'll wash the dishes, you go read a book." As soon as Su Liang said this, she felt like an old mother worrying about her child's college entrance examination.
Ning Jing saw Su Liang suddenly laughing and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Su Liang's eyebrows curved, "I thought you looked like my son for a moment."
Ning Jing stood up and returned to the room with an expressionless face.
Su Liang put away the dishes and found an exquisite wooden hairpin placed where Ning Jing was sitting. The wood was very ordinary, but the pear blossoms carved on the head of the hairpin were lifelike.
Su Liang knocked on the door, "You forgot to take your hairpin."
"For you." Ning Jing's cold voice came out.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, what do you mean?
"I bought them when I was shopping for shoes. I used them to practice carving." Ning Jing explained.
Su Liang praised, "The carving is good, thank you."
It's nothing for the two of them to live together. Ningjing said that he learned carpentry only if he was interested in carpentry, and the wooden hairpin was bought for him to practice because he was interested in carving.
In short, Ning Jing has always been interested in all the things he has never done before, but has no interest in women.
The next day it was dark, so Su Liang got up and made breakfast for Ningjing, and baked some meatloaf for him to take for lunch.
The test lasts for one day, and there is a break at noon, but there is no meal. This is to prevent anyone from tampering with the food, and let them handle it by themselves.
"If you get the first place in the exam, I'll make ribs for you." Su Liang stood at the door and handed the basket containing dry food and stationery to Ning Jing.
Ning Jing likes to eat the braised pork ribs and beans rolls that Su Liang made once before.
After taking the basket, Ningjing was about to turn around and leave when Su Liang sighed, "It really feels like sending my son off to take the exam."
Ning Jing's pretty brows frowned slightly, and when she looked at Su Liang again, she saw the exquisite "pear blossoms" in her black hair, which made her fair and pretty face even more beautiful. When she smiled, the foggy sky in the morning brightened up. a bit.
Before he could say anything, Su Liang went to pick pomegranates and said she would take them back to the village.
Ning Jing silently carried the basket and walked into the hazy morning mist.
Before entering the examination room, Ning Jing met Su Xingzhe. He was wearing brand new clothes and greeted Ning Jing through the crowd.
Su Liang picked a basket of pomegranates, fed the horse, cleaned the yard again, and went out.
Many people were waiting outside the county school, looking either anxious or expectant.
Su Liang went to the drug store in the county town to buy some medicinal materials. She went shopping and passed by a clothing store. She bought two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for Yan Shiba and two sets of men's clothes for herself.
When I arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop, I went in out of curiosity and bought two daggers, a knife and two long swords.
The daggers are all for self-defense, one in the sleeve and one hidden in the calf.
One sword was given to Ning Jing and the other was for her own use. She wanted to learn swordsmanship.
The knife was for Yan Shiba. In order to get rid of the pursuers, she threw all the original weapons elsewhere.
After sending her things home first, Su Liang went to a restaurant for dinner and heard someone talking loudly about this college examination, detailing the talented scholars in Bei'an County.
"Did you hear that the examiner's sample papers were stolen by someone yesterday?"
"Then the thief is a scholar, isn't he?"
"Haha, if you are found out, you will die!"
…
Su Liang suddenly remembered what the examiner asked Su Xingzhe to bring to Ningjing that day. Ningjing burned it without even looking at it. She somehow felt that there might be some connection between the two things.
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Su Liang turned around and saw a young gentleman with a handsome face and elegant manners, raising his glass and smiling at her.
Su Liang nodded lightly, quickly paid and left.
Not long after, the young man also left the restaurant and headed towards the county government office.
"Master, do you know that girl?" the attendant asked.
The man shook his head, "I just think she is special."
"If the person who stole the sample paper cannot be found, and the superiors find out about it, I'm afraid the master will be punished for his lack of supervision." The attendant frowned.
The man looked calm and said, "I know this well."
…
When Ning Jing left the examination room, he met Su Xingzhe again. He looked relaxed and seemed to have performed well.
The results were released five days later. Ning Jing and Su Liang left the county on the same day and stayed in the house they bought for one night.
"How did you do in the exam?" Su Liang asked.
"I don't know." Ning Jing said.
Su Liang: ...Okay, okay. We will see the results when the results come out.
…
When we returned to the village, it was already dark.
When he met Subai Zheng, he waved to Ningjing to stop the car.
"Mr. Ning, Girl Liang, everyone knows about your affairs." Su Bai sighed.
Su Liang was confused, what happened to them?
I heard Su Bai say sincerely, "You are just a fake couple, and you have not married. Now that the Su Daqiang family who harmed you is gone, and Mr. Ning does not intend to take you home, it is better to separate as soon as possible and marry each other in the future, so as not to
Someone is gossiping."
"Uncle Bai, this matter..." Su Liang guessed what was going on.
Su Bai sighed deeply, "It was your sister who told us that we knew the truth. Mr. Ning has a good future. Since he can't give Liang Yatou a serious status, let her go. She is no better than you, and her reputation is bad. How can she marry in the future?"
?”
Sure enough, it was Yan Shiba's fault. Taking advantage of Su Liang and Ning Jing's absence, he exposed the fake marriage between the two, saying that they had not paid a visit at all, let alone consummated the marriage, and they were just looking for an excuse to get Su Liang to leave Su Daqiang's family.
There is no order from the parents, and now it can't even be called "wild cooperation".
Ning Jing glanced at Su Liang and said calmly, "I didn't think well. We are not husband and wife, we are just sworn brothers and sisters. Please help Uncle Bai clarify the misunderstanding."
