Chapter 227: Mutual Gifts
When Su Heting and the others came back, it was almost dawn, and Yuan Ning first let each of them drink a bowl of ginger soup before going to change their clothes.
Yu Jingze didn't go outside either, and came over to join in the fun.
In fact, Su Heting disliked him, but he didn't really want him to be alone for the holidays.
Yuan Ning can be trusted, and this friend is naturally trustworthy as well.
Originally, Yuan Ning planned to take off his shoes and sit on the kang, but because Yu Jingze was there, he was embarrassed to take them off, so he asked his younger brothers and sisters to take off their shoes and go to the kang, and everyone sat around eating and drinking.
Bo Zhong and Shu Yu were very curious about Yu Jingze's overseas experiences and pestered him to tell stories. It just so happened that Yu Jingze also had a very high desire to express himself, and he told his overseas experience in a colorful voice, which made several children fascinated.
Although Ji Xiu didn't understand, when he saw that his brothers and sisters were so fascinated, he followed with a giggling laugh, and Yuan Ning's heart softened into a puddle of water.
Soon, when the day came, a group of people dressed warmly and went out to set off firecrackers.
Originally, Ji Xiu was a little sleepy, but when he saw the fireworks in the sky, he became excited again.
After the firecrackers were set off, when I returned to the house, Aunt Zhang had already set up a large table full of dishes in the hall.
Zhong Ling pulled Aunt Zhang to sit down together, and everyone had a lively reunion dinner.
Because it was the middle of the night to eat, Yuan Ning didn't let Ji Xiu eat more, only half full, and led her around the house twice before Aunt Zhang carried her over and settled down.
The New Year in the county is still lively, especially everyone feels that it is getting better and better every year, and the days are hopeful, and they also hope to bring good luck, so the people who set off firecrackers continue until almost dawn.
When only the young couple were left, Su Heting took out his New Year's gift: "For you." ”
Yuan Ning looked at the big box he took out out of nowhere, his eyes flashed, "You won't ...... Have you got another set of tools for me? ”
I obviously sent it last time.
Su Heting scratched his scalp, "I don't know what to send, I see that the ones I sent last time were all broken, so I specially found someone to make a new set of ......."
Well, although he is a little straighter, he is always more practical, Yuan Ning is very happy, "I also have a gift for you." ”
She prepared three sets of clothes.
The smile on Su Heting's face obviously faded, she didn't expect this to be a gift as well.
Yuan Ning glanced at him, "I knew you would behave like this!" Come on, let me tell you what these clothes are for! ”
What else can clothes do?
Su Heting followed Yuan Ning to the big kang outside with questions. The things on the kang have all been cleaned up, and the kang sheet is spread flat.
Yuan Ning took out a set of clothes and spread them on the kang, "Look, there are some first-aid medicines hidden in the collar, if you are injured, you can relieve the pain; There are two syringes on the cuffs, which are used to launch flying needles, which means that you can use them for self-defense in case of any accidents.
"There are more things on the belt, these look like gems, and their usefulness varies, I'll tell you slowly......"
It turned out that she had designed thirty small mechanisms in this set of clothes, which could help Su Heting tide over the difficulties. It even includes flint and salt, something that can be dismantled to make ropes, and so on.
It can be said that I have thought of all kinds of accidents that I can think of.
Su Heting's heart was full, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold the person in his arms, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
After a long time, he said softly above Yuan Ning's head: "I am really lucky to be able to marry you!" ”
Yuan Ning leaned back and turned his face slightly, "Don't talk about this, go to the capital from here, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, what you will encounter, no one can predict, you just need to go out peacefully and come back smoothly." ”
Su Heting didn't make any promises, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he would come back to meet her well.
It was really not early, so the two of them simply washed up and went to sleep, but neither of them was sleepy.
Yuan Ning asked quietly: "How many people still know about your background?" ”
"There are not many," Su Heting thought seriously for a moment before giving a cautious answer, "but there are definitely not a few." That old thief was cunning and thoughtful, and it was impossible for him to be ignorant of the past when someone looked into the past like this, and with his many eyes and ears. ”
Yuan Ning didn't understand the deception of the court, but he was a little uneasy, "With my father in front of me, that person shouldn't be able to do anything to you, right?" ”
"You're wrong," Su Heting shook his head slightly, "The relationship between me and my father is a secret that almost everyone in the capital knows, how can the old thief not know?"
"From his point of view, it is naturally impossible for me to inherit the family business from such a background, but my father can also train me as a successor, and hand over all the connections of everyone to me in the future.
"Even if you can't recognize your ancestors openly and honestly, after all, it is the pride of the Su family, and the most important thing is that if you inherit the same line, there will be nothing else to do.
"My father is deeply blessed by the emperor's grace, and the holy family is long, but he is not easy to start. ...... to me It's just a small Qipin county order, that is, everyone predicts that the future is promising, and it is still a prediction after all.
"If you do it to me at this time, you will nip countless possibilities in the bud.
"Each of these big men in the court has an heir he wants to cultivate, although the old thief has nominally left the court, but if he wants to ensure his prestige and ensure the prosperity of future generations, it is impossible to give up his authority.
"His nephews have no outstanding talents, but there are a few grandchildren who are really good, and now he just wants to focus on cultivating students to have a place in the court, so as to pave the way for his grandchildren in the future.
"Those who are political enemies are his enemies, and they must be eliminated quickly."
Yuan Ning couldn't help but sigh, "This is too complicated. ”
"yes!" Su Heting also sighed with infinite emotion, "If you don't see and hear these things with your own eyes, how can you believe them?" Which of the world's scholars did not hold the original intention of achieving fame and reporting to the emperor's grace to the people? ”
Yuan Ning bit his lip and thought, since Su Dezhao is already in a high position, and has been fighting wits and courage with that Zhou Cheng for many years, if he is still a simple-minded scholar, no one will believe it. He...... Will you use Su Heting as a tool? Or is it a chess piece?
But in this case, she just passed it in her mind, and she didn't dare to declare it, after all, she thought that things were complicated by the big dye vat, maybe it was the heart of a villain?
"Anyway," she took a deep breath, "you should always be careful not to be taken advantage of." ”
Su Heting turned over and faced her, with a little smile on his face, "You don't tell me to refuse others to send me a woman?" ”
