Goddesses? I just want them to get rewards!

Chapter 109: Old man, do you look down on me? Mu Gongling was stunned!
"Grandma, what is Grandpa going to do?"

Mu Binghan was surprised and a little worried.

You know, in this family, including her father, an uncle and two aunts, no one can have a say when facing Mu Gongling, only grandma's words are more effective.

Mu Gongling is the real head of the family, and his majesty is obvious.

"do not know."

At this time, grandma was staring at Mu Gongling, thinking that if Mu Gongling made things difficult for Jiang Ning, she would have a fit.

After all, in grandma's view, Jiang Ning is a distinguished guest, and you, an old man, have no sense of propriety!

"Your handwriting?"

Jiang Ning asked him.

"Yes, old man, how is my handwriting?"

In Mu Gongling's opinion, this kind of young man doesn't know how to speak. He would probably start by saying that his handwriting is beautiful and praising it, but he couldn't say exactly how beautiful it is. If Jiang Ning is like this, then Mu Gongling would not approve of Jiang Ning.

"Your handwriting is like a pine tree lying on a cliff, which means you are fearless and upright!"

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Mu Gongling nodded, thinking about his experiences over the years, and it was indeed true.

For a moment, Mu Gongling felt a little happy.

Jiang Ning really hit the nail on the head.

"but……"

Jiang Ning suddenly changed the subject.

Chinese people are very particular about how they speak. They rarely get straight to the point. Usually they praise first and then criticize, or criticize first and then praise.

The approach of praising first and then criticizing is to praise the other person first and then find fault or criticize him/her. This shows that you have both good and bad sides, and the latter is the key point.

"but what?"

Mu Gongling raised his graying eyebrows.

"Your words are full of arrogance, but now you are too arrogant!"

"Too proud?"

Mu Gongling asked.

"So, you are looking down on others now. This is too much arrogance. As the saying goes, a person's handwriting reflects his character. Your handwriting reflects your personality. You are arrogant and complacent!"

The implication is, you old man, you look down on me!

When Mu Binghan heard what Jiang Ning said, she felt bad. It was not that she was angry with Jiang Ning, but she was afraid that Mu Gongling would be angry.

"You're saying that old man I am complacent? So old man I look down on people?"

"Correct!"

"You kid, you're pretending to know something when you don't, right? Write your words, or you won't be able to pass this old man!"

Mu Gongling was furious, and only then did he realize that Jiang Ning was pointing at his face and scolding him.

motherfucker.

Can this be tolerated?
If I can't satisfy him, there's no chance of this marriage happening!

Mu Gongling still thought that Jiang Ning was Mu Binghan's boyfriend.

But he really misunderstood, and Jiang Ning didn't know about it.

He was not afraid at this time. He immediately picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote eight words on the blank space of the white paper: Be indifferent to fame and wealth, and be calm and far-sighted.

Mu Gongling's eyes widened as he looked at the words written by Jiang Ning.

“Is this your handwriting?”

Mu Gongling was greatly shocked. He thought that he couldn't write what Jiang Ning was writing now!
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Aren't you watching?"

"How can you write like that?"

Mu Gongling stared at the eight words with wide eyes, looking surprised.

"Two little kids are arguing about the sun. Two little brats can point at Confucius and curse him. Confucius is a model teacher for all ages, but he is still humble. As the saying goes, people learn things at different times and specialize in different fields! Age should not be used to measure a person's achievements!"

Jiang Ning dipped the brush in ink again and wrote: There is a sequence in learning, and everyone has their own specialization.

What he wrote was running script, which was between running script and cursive script, and looked unrestrained and wild, like a dragon and a tiger.

Mu Binghan and her grandmother were watching from the side and also felt that Jiang Ning's handwriting was very beautiful.

And Mu Binghan was even shocked for a moment.

[Your handwriting shocked Mu Binghan, reward: 300,000.]

Of course, she couldn't read.

Her grandmother understood.

I only heard grandma say, "This calligraphy has the style of a great master! Old man, isn't it better than the calligraphy of those old men whose bodies are half buried in the ground in your calligraphy association?"

Mu Gongling was silent for a long time. There is a saying that goes, if you don't practice, you will see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. If you practice, you will see me like an ant looking at the sky.

This is how Mu Gongling feels now.

Jiang Ning's words were so powerful that Mu Gongling's self-confidence, which he was so proud of, suddenly seemed to be shattered to the ground.

I, an old man, have lived for more than seventy years, but I am not as good as a young man?

It's like in the past, in the countryside, the clothes you wore were the best-looking in the village, and you were proud of them. Then one day, a four-wheeled car came from the city. It was also the first car to come to the village, and it was also the first time that countless people saw a four-wheeled car. At this time, a man got out of the car. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked extraordinary. There was not even a TV in the village, and people had never seen such clothes. When he compared himself, he was just a farmer in the village. The so-called good-looking clothes were the clothes that ordinary farmers wore in the 1950s and 1960s, but they didn't have so many patches. How could they compare with the suits, leather shoes, and slicked-back hair of others?

Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden and her eyes were opened!

"How can your handwriting be so good?"

Mu Gongling was shocked. He stared at Jiang Ning's words with his eyes wide open, unable to recover for a moment.

"I don't understand it either. I just suddenly got enlightened. Isn't that strange?"

"Enlightened?"

Mu Gongling asked: "What did you realize?"

Things like calligraphy, painting, and chanting Buddha's name all focus on enlightenment, and the older generation believes in these the most.

Sometimes, one enlightenment may be equivalent to several years or even decades of hard work of others.

"The thought is clear. Laozi said, 'The Tao that can be told is not the real Tao.' If it can be told, it is no longer the Tao, right?"

Jiang Ning felt that he was quite good at bluffing people. The key was that he had the skills!

"Then teach me how to write!"

"Look at my handwriting. How can I get rid of that smug arrogance?"

Mu Gongling stood up and walked to Jiang Ning, bowing his body with a humble look.

In "Preface to Sending Off Ma Sheng of Dongyang", there is a sentence: I stood by his side, helping him with doubts and questions, leaning over and listening attentively.

This is Mu Gongling’s attitude now.

Mu Binghan and her grandmother were also shocked when they saw this.

You know, it goes without saying what kind of temper this old man has. Where have they ever seen him with this attitude?

And it was to this young man Jiang Ning!
The two looked at each other and both felt it was incredible.

At this time, the old man turned around and glared at Mu Binghan and her grandmother, signaling them to leave quickly.

"Hanhan, let's go into the kitchen and get busy!"

"oh oh!"

Mu Binghan was stunned for a moment and followed her grandmother into the kitchen.

There is an extra pair of chopsticks in the house tonight.

Mu Binghan was in the kitchen, looking out from time to time, she saw the old man and the young boy talking all the time, no one knew what they were talking about, and Jiang Ning was writing or drawing from time to time, while Mu Gongling was standing with his body hunched over, not even sitting down. Jiang Ning seemed to ask him to sit down, but he just refused.

Mu Binghan found it unbelievable.

"Grandma, why is Grandpa like this?"

Mu Binghan couldn't help but ask her grandmother.

"Jiang Ning's handwriting is much better than your grandfather's. Even though your grandfather is a bad-tempered person who looks down on everyone, if he really meets someone who writes better than him, he will humbly ask for advice."

"Jiang Ning's handwriting is better than grandpa's?"

"You can tell by your grandfather's attitude. In my opinion, Jiang Ning is the best writer he has ever met. Look at your grandfather. He doesn't even dare to sit down. He was never like this before."

Grandma continued, "As people grow older, their thoughts become more and more rigid. Some people just want to save face. Your grandfather is actually quite concerned about face, too. For example, when writing, if the other person is just a little better than him, he wouldn't put on such an attitude. But now he can do this, and ask for advice humbly like a student, which proves that Jiang Ning's handwriting is much better than his!"

Mu Binghan was stunned when she heard this, wondering how could Jiang Ning be so powerful?
[Your handwriting shocked Mu Binghan, reward: 400,000! ]

Jiang Ning on the other side was in a good mood.

He originally felt that having an old man standing next to him was quite irritating, and the old man also had an old man smell. You know, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, when they reach a certain age, they will have an old man smell on their bodies, the only difference is how strong the smell is.

However, Jiang Ning has a keen sense of smell.

But now that Mu Binghan has contributed 700,000 to him, Jiang Ning is still in a good mood.

Time passed, and half an hour later, it was finally time for dinner.

Grandma urged Jiang Ning and Mu Gongling to go to the restaurant for dinner.

Only then did Mu Gongling reluctantly put down the brush in his hand and let Jiang Ning teach him for half an hour. He felt that he had gained some experience and would continue to study it later. He also felt that this was much more interesting than communicating with the old guys in the Calligraphy Association.

At this time Jiang Ning said he wanted to go to the toilet, so Mu Binghan took him there.

Jiang Ning followed behind the other person.

Come to think of it, I didn’t notice it when I first came here, but Mu Binghan was wearing a white floral dress tonight, which was very beautiful and suited her figure very well.

After entering the bathroom, Mu Binghan flushed the toilet for Jiang Ning.

"Sister, I'll leave after I'm full. You can help me talk to him when the time comes. I feel like your grandfather doesn't want to let me go."

"Okay, leave it to me." Mu Binghan smiled slightly and asked, "Have you met the parents?"

"Not yet. Climb up to the balcony tonight."

Mu Binghan: ...

“Isn’t it dangerous to climb the balcony?”

"It's not a big deal. I climbed it last time."

Jiang Ning said that he also climbed over the wall tonight.

"You are so brave!"

"No, you have to say that I have good physical fitness!"

Mu Binghan rolled her eyes at him, then helped him close the toilet door. After Jiang Ning finished using the toilet, Mu Binghan returned to the restaurant with him.

At this time, inside the restaurant, Mu Gongling was already waiting for his turn.

"Jiang Ning, sit here!"

Mu Gongling was smiling, but Mu Binghan was a little surprised.

Because the seat where Mu Gongling asked Jiang Ning to sit was the main seat in the house.

This seat is occupied by the head of the family, Mu Gongling. Normally, no one else can sit in this seat.

In fact, Jiang Ning didn’t think too much about it at the beginning, thinking it was just an ordinary position.

But it wasn't until he sat there for a minute that he realized that this seat was facing the entrance.

Ok?
Isn’t this the main seat?
However, sitting in the main seat, Jiang Ning did not feel uneasy.

They have asked you to sit down, so why is he being polite?
During the meal, Mu Gongling was also very polite. After being impressed by Jiang Ning's calligraphy, Mu Gongling lost all his airs.

The meal took an hour.

Jiang Ning rested for a while and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

At this time, he was also planning to get up and leave.

"Mr. Mu, it's so late, I'm leaving first!"

"So fast?"

Mu Gongling glared and asked, "Aren't you staying here tonight?"

Why do I live here?

Jiang Ning actually just wanted to have a free meal.

On the other side, Yu Churan had already returned and was waiting for him in the room, urging him to hurry up.

Jiang Ning was also very excited.

Mu Binghan understood and said, "Grandpa, he is leaving."

"Then everyone, see you next time!"

"Jiang Ning, wait a moment!"

At this time, Mu Binghan's grandmother took out two red envelopes and put them in Jiang Ning's hands.

"Here are two red envelopes for you, take them!"

The red envelope is thick and it is a big red envelope. If there is only a hundred yuan in it, then it is estimated that there will be several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

When Chinese people receive red envelopes or gifts, they always refuse them first before accepting them, but Jiang Ning doesn't do such empty things.

"Jiang Ning, remember to come next time!"

Mu Gongling felt very sorry.

"no problem!"

Then, Mu Binghan saw Jiang Ning off.

She lives not far from Yu Churan's home; after all, they live in the same residential area.

When Mu Binghan returned to the house, she saw Mu Gongling saying to her: "Hanhan, I am very satisfied with this old man Jiang Ning. He is the kind that you can't find even with a lantern. When are you two going to get engaged? Well, I have a friend who knows a little about this. I'll ask him to calculate the date someday!"

"got engaged?"

Mu Binghan and her grandmother were both stunned for a moment.

"Old man, are you mistaken?"

Grandma said quickly.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Gongling didn't understand for a moment.

Mu Binghan said: "What engagement? He is the one who saved me in the car accident before. I told you last time!"

Mu Binghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that her grandfather had made a mistake.

"So he's not your boyfriend?"

"He's only eighteen years old, and I'm eight years older than him. How can he be my boyfriend?"

"Eight years age difference is not a problem. Good marriages are not easy to come by, Hanhan, you have to seize the opportunity! Also, I saw you young people say online that sister-brother relationships are popular now, right? You are 26, not 36, so I think it's fine, old man!"

Mu Binghan: ...

She didn't know what to say for a moment. Jiang Ning has a girlfriend, right?
I just like him, but he may not look down on an old woman like me, right?

At this time, Mu Gongling took a sip of Tieguanyin and continued, "His calligraphy is very good, better than those old men in my association. Looking across the country, you may not find a few people who can write better than him. You must seize the opportunity! He is only eighteen years old. He is a natural talent! Don't think that calligraphy is useless. You young people don't understand it. If you understand history, for example, you are proficient in Ming history, you will be able to thrive in it. From ancient times to the present, no high-ranking official does not understand history, and the same is true for calligraphy. What's more, his calligraphy is of this level. There are a group of old guys in my association, and some of them have great backgrounds! I say he has a bright future, you must seize the opportunity!"

Then Mu Gongling asked Mu Binghan to come over, and Mu Binghan went over.

Then Mu Gongling pointed at the words Jiang Ning had just written and began to analyze them one by one, even more carefully than the ancient Chinese text appreciation class in high school.

Mu Binghan was confused by what she heard, but the key was that she had to listen carefully.

At home, Mu Gongling is still very dignified.

However, Jiang Ning, the other party involved, did not know about this.

At this time, he had successfully arrived in Yu Churan's room.

Just like last time, Jiang Ning climbed up to the balcony from outside, then quietly slipped into her room with Yu Churan, and then locked the door.

Yu Churan's mother was reading in the living room as usual.

"Red envelope? Where did it come from?"

Yu Churan helped Jiang Ning hold the red envelopes. She opened them and found that they were both worth 100 yuan. Judging from the thickness of the two red envelopes, it seemed that there were several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan in total. She didn't know the exact amount.

“Given by a relative!”

"Do you have any relatives in Haicheng?"

"There must be three aunts and eight uncles, right?"

"Right!"

Yu Churan didn’t think much about it. As for the amount of the red envelope, she didn’t care, mainly because her family was too rich.

"But why are you so late tonight? I've been waiting for you for more than half an hour!"

Yu Churan said she came back at around nine o'clock, but Jiang Ning didn't come to her until a little after ten o'clock.

"I'm just walking outside. Your neighborhood is so big that I almost got lost."

Jiang Ning also said that he was having fun with the kids at the amusement park just now.

There is a small amusement park in Yu Churan’s community. There are many children, dozens of them, all of whom are residents of the community.

When Jiang Ning passed by just now, the sound of children calling out was very lively.

Some parents take care of three or four children.

Of course, these are rich people, so they have so many children.

For example, those women who take care of children, even if some of them are not beautiful, they have really good temperament.

When Yu Churan heard about the child, she became excited: "Then when I graduate, I will get pregnant and have a baby, and then when you graduate, we will hold the wedding. By then, our baby should have been born!"

"We'll talk about it later. You're only a sophomore. What do you want?"

"What's sophomore year? I know a senior who took a year off last week to go back home and have a baby. She will be in our class next year!"

Yu Churan said expectantly, "Besides, I can be pregnant now, so I can take a leave of absence from school. By the way, we will be in the same class next year!"

She said that they could take care of the child while attending classes. It was not uncommon to get pregnant and have children in college, and some students could get extra credits. Yu Churan also said that this was a very romantic thing.

"Don't talk about this, I haven't decided to be a father yet!"

Jiang Ning didn't expect Yu Churan to think so far ahead. He was not interested in having a child and becoming a father.

Even Jiang Ning never thought about becoming a father.

"Jiang Ning, I want to be a mother!"

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later, let's get down to business first!"

As Jiang Ning spoke, he carried Yu Churan to the bed and kissed her while taking off her clothes.

"Why are you so impatient?"

Yu Churan gave him a coquettish look.

"Why am I so impatient? It's because you are beautiful and have a great figure!"

"Hehe, that's right!"

When Yu Churan heard this, he became more energetic.

It didn't matter who praised her beauty, but it was different when Jiang Ning praised her.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!
