Chapter 225: Advent
However, this time the healing was no longer free of charge as before, and this time all the medicinal materials they used had to be dug up in the mountains by themselves. In addition, each family has to pay a certain amount of treatment costs.
After this incident, the people of Wuzhou were more peaceful, and the dispute of the Tang family was still not over, coupled with the deliberate suppression of Xu Shizi and King Ning, the Tang family's shop slowly declined, and was soon replaced by a powerful foreign caravan.
During this period, the imperial court did not issue any orders, and Xu Shizi, Shen Yafei and others lived peacefully in Wuzhou for several months, and everything was so quiet and warm.
On this day, there was a panic in King Ning's Mansion, the people in the courtyard ran out and ran in, and the masters of King Ning's Mansion were waiting anxiously outside Chen Xi's courtyard. After a day and a night of waiting, as well as the efforts of Dayin and Zhiyu, a loud baby cry sounded in Ning Wangfu, and a new life was born.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince! The princess has added a little grandson to you! Chen Xi's dowry mother excitedly reported the good news to King Ning.
After hearing this, King Ning's voice trembled a little in surprise, and he anxiously probed into the delivery room and asked, "Can King Ben go in and have a look?" ”
"Poof!" This is the first time that this grandma has seen King Ning ask such a vain question, at this time, King Ning is like a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, stupid, it's really, it's so funny, Mama couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When King Ning heard this, he touched his nose awkwardly, looked at his grandmother with a little embarrassment, and his aggrieved eyes seemed to say: People are also the first baby, and they are inexperienced, so they are just a little excited.
Mama lowered her head and covered her mouth with her hands, snickered for a while, and then winked at King Ning and said with a smile: "Lord, the old slave still wants to have a celebration with you!" ”
Only then did King Ning remember to reward everyone: "You go and tell the housekeeper that you will give each person ten taels of silver today." Then, this month's silver hair doubles! ”
"Congratulations to the prince! Thank you, Lord Wang! King Ning's Mansion rose in a festive red color, and there was a chorus of joy.
There is still no news in the capital, and in Wuzhou City, Xu Shizi, Shen Yafei and others have no interest in Wuzhou City, and no one wants to go out to play, so they spend most of their time wandering around the house. New members have been added to King Ning's mansion, and in addition to their daily fixed work, there is one more thing to do to tease the baby, which makes everyone feel that the life in Wuzhou is no longer so boring.
Time passed day by day, and soon, the children's 100-day feast had passed, and at this time, there was still no trace of the cult. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the capital to send them a letter, saying that the newly appointed officials had rushed from the capital to Wuzhou and would soon be in place.
However, this will soon have to complete the long journey from the capital to Wuzhou City. Three months later, the child was half a year old. The newly appointed officials also went to Wuzhou City to hand over to King Ning, and on the day of the handover, Xu Shizi, Shen Yafei and others set off for the capital.
Originally, King Ning had already arranged for people to prepare when he received the letter from the capital. Before the officials of Wuzhou arrived in Wuzhou City, King Ning had already evacuated three-quarters of his men from Wuzhou City and lurked in batches in the necessary and dangerous areas of Wuzhou and the capital.
As soon as the officials in the capital arrived, King Ning handed over the materials he had prepared in advance to the officials, and then asked a local official to explain and analyze the situation in Wuzhou to the new officials in detail. The officials arrived in Wuzhou early in the morning, and King Ning spent half an hour explaining the handover matters clearly.
When they set off on the spot, they frightened the new officials, and the new officials tried to keep them, but King Ning did not leave them room for persuasion.
They set out from Wuzhou and went to the capital on the way, perhaps because there were pre-arranged officers and soldiers to open the way, and the road was smooth. If it weren't for knowing King Ning's prior arrangement, Shen Yafei and the others would almost think that the people in the capital had forgotten about King Ning.
However, just when they were about to arrive in the capital, Ning Fu told them about the hardships they encountered along the way. They knew that King Lang and King Yuan were much more difficult and dangerous this time than when they first went to Wuzhou, and it seemed that they were determined to get rid of King Ning. It's just that they didn't expect King Ning to let his men clear the barricades beforehand.
"The prince, the princess, we are about to arrive in the capital." Cheng Fang's voice came from outside the carriage.
Xu Shizi leaned on the frame of the car, squinted his eyes slightly, and said a soft "um" to indicate that he understood.
Shen Yafei sat up immediately, her sudden behavior startled Xu Shizi, Xu Shizi opened her eyes and looked at her, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
"Oops," Shen Yafei sighed in annoyance and said resentfully, "I forgot to ask someone to deliver a message to the people in the capital." ”
"What are you going to deliver to the capital? We're almost home now, so if you have anything to say, just go back and tell them directly. After listening to Shen Yafei's words, Xu Shizi said with a light smile.
"You know what?" Shen Yafei glanced at Xu Shizi and said angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes. I don't understand anything. Xu Shizi confessed and asked helplessly, "Then do you have something important?" I'll let Cheng Fang hurry up and run back. ”
"Nothing?" Shen Yafei stuck her chin in the window and sighed.
Xu Shizi looked at her with a look of pity on her face, and suddenly laughed, he seemed to understand what Shen Yafei was going to do, so he smiled at Shen Yafei and said, "Wait a minute, I will ask Cheng Fang to follow our carriage with King Ning's carriage, and as soon as the carriage stops, we will open the way for you." Make sure you can see the expression of the surname Lin for the first time. ”
"Really!" Shen Yafei turned her head and stared at Xu Shizi in surprise.
"Of course." Xu Shizi scratched the tip of Shen Yafei's nose dotingly, and shook his head helplessly, "You~"
Xu Shizi's tone was like compromising with an ignorant child, Shen Yafei was a little unhappy, glared at Xu Shizi and said, "What are you laughing at?" Do you dare to say you're not interested in her reaction? ”
Xu Shizi shook his head, but when Shen Yafei saw this, he immediately glanced at him fiercely, Xu Shizi quickly changed his words, and said seriously: "Well, it was my curiosity that made Cheng Fang do this." ”
Shen Yafei smiled with satisfaction, handed Xu Shizi a "count you know" look, and then leaned back on the window. Shen Yafei lay on her stomach silently, but the eager expression on her face had already betrayed her inner thoughts at the moment. Xu Shizi curled the corners of his lips and looked at her with a light smile.
As it got closer and closer to the capital, the carriage in front of it was getting quieter and quieter, but the atmosphere on this horse was much more depressing than that in Shen Yafei's carriage.
Cheng Wei, that is, Chen Xi's son, the name is the name given by the emperor today. Stew is the word of King Ning, which was given to him by the first queen, but after the death of the first queen, King Ning never used it again. The emperor's name for Chen Xi's son is obvious, which means that Chen Xi's son is the one who inherited Ning Wangfu. Although King Ning was not happy that the emperor had given his son this name, he was powerless to resist.
Cheng Wei is now lying quietly in Chen Xi's arms, pecking his white fingers and falling asleep, does he still make a "tsk" sound like eating a delicious meal. His other hand was tightly gripping Chen Xi's placket. Just now, the nurse pulled several times and didn't get his hand off Chen Xi's body, Chen Xi was worried that it would hurt Cheng Wei, so he had to talk to the nurse: "Just let him sleep like this." I'm not tired. ”
The nurse looked at King Ning for help, and after Ning nodded to her, the nurse retreated.
But since then, there was no other sound in the car, and the nurse felt a little depressed in the car, and wanted to go out to breathe, but when she looked up and saw King Ning's deep face, the nurse retracted again. In the end, the nurse couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said in a soft voice: "Lord, princess, the slave retires." ”
Halfway through the conversation, the curtain was lifted and the curtain was opened. King Ning and Chen Xi felt a light outside the door and came in before they noticed the abnormality of the nurse, King Ning glanced up slightly, and quickly lowered his head again. Chen Xi just rolled his eyes, and his main attention was still on Cheng Wei.
"Lord, princess, we have arrived." Just when the atmosphere in the car was about to reach a frozen state, Ning Jian's voice came from outside the door.
Ning Jian rolled over from the horse, then stood on the carriage and lifted the curtain. King Ning and Chen Xi were still sitting in place.
At this time, Ning Jian's side quickly passed by several figures, Ning Jian turned his head and glanced at it, and saw Xu Shizi walking quickly past him with Shen Yafei at his feet. The two of them first flew to the Pi Wang Ye and the Pi Princess to continue the old days, the family discussed in a low voice for a while, Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi pulled the Pi Wang Ye and the Pi Princess, and retreated to the side of King Ning's carriage.
How to look at the excitement on the faces of this family, the corners of Ning Jian's mouth twitched strongly a few times, don't look away. But when Ning Kang turned his face away and met another face, the owner of this face put his hands around his chest and looked at the other side gloatingly. Ning Kang sighed silently and glanced sympathetically at his master's carriage.
They watched their master become the object of other people's plays, and they couldn't be angry, they really couldn't help their master.
"Lord Wang?" At this time, King Ning was still sitting in the carriage, Ning Jian probed in, and saw that King Ning was trapped in his own thoughts, Ning Jian whispered in exchange.
After King Ning heard the call, he slowly got up from his position, got out of the car first, and then turned around to take the Cheng Wei in Chen Xi's hand, and carefully held it in his arms. At this moment, Cheng Wei changed his arms and was a little uncomfortable, his little head arched restlessly into King Ning's arms, probably smelling his familiar smell, Cheng Wei fell asleep peacefully.
King Ning looked at his son's sleeping face, and his face softened a lot.
