Chapter 970: Honor in Troubled Times 38

After sending the two children away, An Ning asked Xiao Yuan: "Is there anything changing?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Beijing is now in turmoil, Concubine Li Guifei has brought down Concubine De, and Concubine De's mother's Guangning Marquis Mansion is about to be implicated." ”

Xiao Yuan didn't say everything, but An Ning understood that the Marquis of Guangning Mansion would also be exiled if he couldn't say it, and with Concubine Li's temperament, he was afraid that he would also let the people of the Marquis of Guangning be exiled to Nanyi's side.

An Ning remembered that the young daughter of the Marquis of Guangning, that is, Concubine De's little sister, had not yet married, and if she was really exiled, she would not be able to ask Xiao Ling for a request.

At this time, Ke Sensei said that Xiao Ling was a concubine or something, and he was exiled, and he still paid attention to what he was doing.

Moreover, when it comes to Nanyi, who else can the Marquis of Guangning marry if he doesn't marry his young daughter to Xiao Ling?

As far as the natives on Nanyi's side are concerned, he can't look down on them.

An Ning smiled: "Okay, I know it in my heart." ”

After saying this, An Ning went to pick up Xiao Yuan's clothes.

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "I've only been out for a day and you want to be like this, so anxious?"

An Ning glared at him: "I'll see if you're hurt." ”

Xiao Yuan let her pick off her shirt and looked at her chest and back.

An Ning saw that Xiao Yuan didn't have any scars on his body, so he was relieved: "Fortunately, I wasn't injured, otherwise it would be up to me to clean you up." ”

Her words were fierce, but when she was tidying up Xiao Yuan's clothes, her movements were very gentle, and there was still friendship in her eyes.

Xiao Yuan hugged An Ning: "Don't worry, how can I let myself be injured, just for you, I have to be very careful." ”

He picked up An Ning and walked to the bed: "You are in a hurry to be like this, you can't do it tonight." ”

After the two of them tossed on the bed, An Ning cleaned up and lay down again before talking to Xiao Yuan: "What did you gain from going out today?"

Xiao Yuan smiled: "The harvest is great, not only killed a lot of pirates, but also intercepted a lot of good things, when I came back, it was not easy to get back, so I hid with the fourth and sixth children, and I had to get up to get it back in a while." ”

He lay down for a while and then got up and put on his cotton clothes.

An Ning also got up, the two of them didn't light the lights, and Xiao Yuan went out in the dark.

He waited until it was almost dawn before he returned.

An Ning never slept, just guarded in the house.

Waiting for the dawn to come, Xiao Yuan carried a large box into the house.

An Ning waited for him to come in, quickly closed the door of the house, and the two of them lit the lamp.

Xiao Yuan opened the box, and An Ning was really shocked when he saw it.

I didn't expect these pirates to be able to make money, and this box is full of good things.

Of course, pirates are not very urbane people, and it is impossible to get some porcelain antiquities or calligraphy and paintings, they get gold and precious stones.

The bottom of the box is covered with gold bricks, and there are about a dozen pieces of straight paving, and the upper layer is full of gems of various colors, and there is a bag with all the southern pearls inside.

Most of these pearls are white, some are the size of a thumb, some are pink, and the most precious are two golden pearls.

An Ning picked it up and looked at it: "These are all good things." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled: "The gold is the most, our three families have divided it, and the fourth and sixth children of pearls and gems have also divided it, and our family has the most." ”

An Ning finished counting the things, and he and Xiao Yuan collected the things separately, and there were some gems and pearls and two or three gold bricks hidden in An Ning's space, and Xiao Yuan collected the rest.

Xiao Yuan whispered in An Ning's ear: "In addition to these things, I also received some manpower. ”

While the two were talking, they heard a movement outside.

An Ning pushed Xiao Yuan: "You go to bed and lie down for a while, and I'll go out and have a look." ”

Xiao Yuan dragged An Ning to lie on the bed: "Don't go out, the children are all up." ”

An Ning also knows that children generally start from this point.

They got up and practiced martial arts for a while, then took a horse step, and then began to sweep the courtyard, go out to chop wood, and wait until the work was done before they came to say goodbye.

An Ning lay beside Xiao Yuan: "I have cleaned up the classroom, you can go to the front yard after breakfast for a while, think about it, someone should send the child over." ”

Xiao Yuan responded.

He was really a little sleepy, and after saying a few words to An Ning, he was confused.

An Ning waited for Xiao Yuan to fall asleep before getting up.

She combed her hair and washed her face, changed her clothes, and then came out of the bedroom and sat down in the main hall.

She sat down here, and Xiao Song's children came over to say hello.

Xiao Hui also came over and asked if he wanted to set the meal.

An Ning said: "Put it in the flower hall of the wing room, your father was tired yesterday, and he is still asleep at this time, let's go to the flower hall to eat, don't disturb him." ”

As soon as An Ning said this, the children's voices were much lower, and they did things lightly.

An Ning took the children to breakfast, and she called the thirteen biological and adopted children to her side.

"With you in our family, it is really prosperous, in the future, you are all brothers and sisters, you must respect and love each other, when the elder brother should be polite to the younger brothers and sisters, and when the elder sister should also take care of the little ones below, if I let me know who has done something to harm my brothers and sisters, who has crooked thoughts, I will never spare him. ”

After An Ning said this, all thirteen children got up: "Mother, don't worry, we will be courteous and loving to each other." ”

An Ning smiled and took out thirteen jade pendants.

This jade pendant is not hung around the waist, but around the neck.

The jade pendants are carved with good white jade, and the patterns are all the same, all of them are pomegranate patterns, and there is a word in the middle of each jade pendant, which is the name of each person.

"You all know your name, now find out your own jade pendant and put it on, each of your brothers and sisters, this is a symbol of our children's identity, the most important object, you must take care of it, don't lose it." ”

An Ning smiled and asked the children to take their own jade pendants.

One by one, these children went over to find jade pendants with their names written on them, and took them and put them on their bodies.

Xiao Song's eight adopted children wore the jade well, and they were all very excited, when they grabbed the jade pendant, the tears in their eyes fell straight out, and after seeing the words engraved on the back of the jade pendant, these children all knelt down and gave An Ning a snort: "Mother rest assured, as long as we are in one day, this jade pendant will not be lost." ”

An Ning helped them up one by one: "I give you this, I hope that in the future you will have a way out no matter what situation you encounter, you take this, no matter how far you go in the future, when you encounter danger, you can use this jade pendant to ask me and your father, as well as your brothers and sisters for help, as long as you don't do things that hurt nature and reason, I and your father will share a sorrow for you if you have a little effort, and your brothers and sisters will never look at it if they have a little bit to do." ”

Speaking of this, An Ning's eyes also turned red: "I only wish you peace and joy, but how can a father and mother not care about their children, and parents love their children for the long term, I have to arrange them all for you." ”

An Ning was a little choked as she spoke, she turned her head sideways, and she couldn't speak anymore.

These children burst into tears one by one, these children have suffered and suffered, and their minds are very sensitive, and they can feel whether others are false or sincere to them.

They knew that An Ning and Xiao Yuan really treated them as their own children, and they were enthusiastic about them, and they could feel the true affection, and this heavy friendship made the children feel warm in the winter.
