Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Capital

"Ning Xiang! You have to wash when you boil water, and you can't look like this when you go to see your grandfather at night. ”

Jiang Yueyue was lying on the bed, tired and didn't want to move, but she had the energy to call Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang couldn't wait to leave Jiang Yueyue's sight as soon as possible, so she hurriedly left.

The structure of the houses in the capital is different from that of Zhuozhou, which is more antique, so the courtyards are covered with courtyards, and they are all corridors with wooden pillars. However, the houses in the capital are more open and atmospheric, and they are mostly surrounded by stones, and there is no ear room for the maid to live here, and the people live in the courtyard.

However, Jiang Yueyue and his entourage only brought personal maids, and Qingyang Bo opened a small house in the courtyard of Mrs. Jiang's family for the maids to live in, which was originally a place where the unfavored concubines or concubines lived, and the conditions for the maids were already excellent.

Jiang Zhizhou, as a man, naturally lives in the outer courtyard, and has a small courtyard, so the little maid is arranged to sleep in the study next to Jiang Zhizhou's own house.

When they returned to the hut, the maids didn't have any things, and naturally no one came back in advance to clean up, not to mention that they were busy serving their masters and didn't dare to come back. Ning Xiang had time to take a look at the small paper bag that Xu Dart gave her.

I don't know what it is when I pinch it.

Ning Xiang sat on the kang and carefully opened the paper package, finding that there was a thin layer of transparent paper inside. After the two layers were removed, the contents inside were revealed, and Ning Xiang suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

"Aren't you afraid of my tooth decay?" Not long after she changed her teeth, a little white tooth smiled very pleasantly, Xu Darttou really treated her as a little doll, although the oil paper bag was small, but it was full of candy.

Ning Xiang took one and threw it into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste on the tip of her tongue made her eyes squint with satisfaction. This is a special fruit candy sold outside the capital, such a small bag costs a few taels of silver, it is winter now, buy this sugar when there are few melons and fruits, it may be more expensive than summer.

Really, this guy is so stupid.

Ning Xiang whistled, and a small hummingbird flew in, wrapped in thick fluff like a ball, which the doctor gave her before she left, to deliver the news.

The little hummingbird came in but didn't pounce into Ning Xiang's hand as usual, but first stood on the edge of the paper bag on the side and pecked a piece gently.

Ning Xiang was speechless for a while.

She took out a very thin brush and licked it, opened the small bamboo tube on the hummingbird's leg, took out a small note from it, thought about it, handed a letter to the house doctor, and begged him to take more care of Xu Darttou and his party.

So much so that the little old man was jealous when he received the letter, although he did take care of the business of the dart board and provided low-cost medicines, but in his heart this beam was settled. Since then, how to look at Xu Dart's head is not pleasing to the eye.

As soon as Ning Xiang entered the capital, Su Jingchen received the news, but it was not he who went to find out, but the man in front of him mentioned it to him.

Su Jingchen is now Xiao Qian's "shadow", one is King Xiao's request to Su Jingchen, and the other is that Su Jingchen's real master wants him to adapt to changes. Su Jingchen, who now protects Xiao Qian's breakthrough and assassination several times, is now called "Shadow One".

However, after a few months of hard work, he became the boss in the shadow guard, and the hardships were naturally needless to say, Su Jingchen's only regret was that he hurt his face in an operation.

was originally panicked about this, afraid that Ning Xiang would dislike him, but now it's good, Xiao Qian's desire for Ning Xiang has not stopped for a moment. Su Jingchen was angry in his heart, but he couldn't be presumptuous for the sake of the overall situation, and he worked very hard to endure it.

"Tomorrow we will visit Uncle Qingyang, you can prepare, it is enough to bring four people." When Xiao Qian thought of that indifferent little face and immature and delicate appearance, he was itching, and he couldn't wait to drag Ning Xiang to the mansion to grind.

inherited the tyranny of Xiao Wangye, Xiao Qian and Jiang Yueyue are actually fellow travelers, but they have not yet appeared. Otherwise, how could he be so husband and wife in his previous life? Su Jingchen saw through the darkness under Xiao Qian's gentle expression, and his heart tightened.

Ning Xiang had no idea about the impending threat, and waited neatly for Jiang Yueyue to take a bath and freshen up, waiting for Uncle Qingyang's summons.

The dinner party was about to start, but Qingyangbo's people had not arrived here for a long time, Ning Xiang squinted her eyes, feeling that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't have been such a big mistake, could something have happened?

It seemed to be in response to Ning Xiang's thoughts, so he heard a group of people rushing into the courtyard outside, saying that they wanted to search for thieves, and the noisy mother-in-law and the little maids rushed in without waiting for Jiang Yueyue to ask.

Jiang Yueyue was confused for a while, not knowing what to do, Ning Xiang's expression was grim, and she crossed her waist and blocked the door.

"Get out of the way, it's not good if the gangster hurts Miss!" A mother-in-law tried to push Ning Xiang aside, using ten percent of her strength.

But Ning Xiang didn't move, like a stone statue blocking the door.

The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and scolded: "Little cheap hoof, this is not to take the master to heart!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yueyue was also scared, and was about to scold Ning Xiang when she heard Ning Xiang's clear voice sound.

"Do you want to bring a little maid with you to search the house? Is this the rule of the Earl's Court, or is it the style of the capital? ”

Jiang Yueyue suddenly came to her senses, this is someone who wants to ruin her reputation. looked at the mother-in-law's expression and became cold.

After all, it is also everyone's ladies, Jiang Yueyue's temperament has been taught very well by the female masters, and at this moment, her aura is open, for the appearance similar to Mrs. Jiang, she is more courageous than Ning Xiang's appearance.

"There are no thieves in my house, and you don't want thieves to shout to catch thieves!"

Jiang Yueyue slapped the table, shaking people outside the door.

"That's... Then the slaves and maids will have to search to find out. The mother-in-law who started seemed to have seen Mrs. Jiang before she became a monk, and she was still away from home for many years. But the person in front of him is just a child after all. When she had strengthened her courage, she commanded them to break through.

Ning Xiang blocked the door and shouted: "Who dare to me?!" ”

Jiang Yueyue looked at Ning Xiang at this time, and she was a little moved in her heart, she could stand up to protect herself in the face of so many people, but this also showed that she really accepted this maid.

Her arrogant little face raised slightly, glaring at the woman: "It seems that this grandmother has bad ears, I said that I don't have thieves here, if you want to break in, you can try." ”

As soon as the words ended, another group of people arrived.

The old man in the lead looked like Uncle Qingyang. I saw that he looked at the scene in the courtyard quite dissatisfied, and walked in front of Ning Xiang silently. The eagle's sharp eyes looked Ning Xiang up and down, making her quite nervous, and in order to hide her panic, Ning Xiang hurriedly knelt down.

"Greetings, uncle."

Ning Xiang knelt down and turned slightly sideways, and Qingyang Bo walked around into the house from beside her. Jiang Yueyue bowed and saluted, and the etiquette was exactly the same.

Qingyang Bo's cold face melted a little.

"You're the Snow Maiden's daughter?"
