Chapter 36: Making a Wish
"Why did you wake me up now?" I have some "complaints" about Xiaohe, after all, Long Xuanling does not have time to stay in this mansion every day.
"It's my uncle who saw that you were sleeping deeply, so he didn't let me wake you up." Xiaohe said and helped me get up and dress me up.
After washing my face, I sobered up a little, dressed up, and hurried to the dining room.
Kang Ning had already eaten, and was leaning on Long Xuanling's arms, licking the sugar gourd, and when he saw me coming, he immediately got down from Long Xuanling's arms and ran towards me.
"Mother, isn't there anything uncomfortable? How did you sleep for so long? Her round blue eyes looked at me with some concern.
"Ning'er, my mother is fine, I'm just a little tired." I said with a smile.
Long Xuanling waved his hand and motioned for the maid to serve me again.
I ate some of them haphazardly, but in fact, these meals were not tasteful at all.
"Xiaohe, take a cloak for Jingwan and Ning'er, the night breeze is cool." Long Xuanling looked at Xiao He and ordered.
Xiaohe nodded, and immediately went back to the room to get two cloaks, one large and one small.
The fat monk was not interested in putting on the lamp, there was nothing to eat and play, just put a lamp, he was not interested, so he stayed in the house.
Long Xuanling hugged Kang Ning, and Xiaohe and I followed behind and got into the car together.
It only took half an hour to drive to the outskirts of Youzhou, and when we got off the bus, I saw that there was indeed a large open space in this wild suburb, and hundreds of lights were placed on the open space.
"Wow, mother, palace lamp!" Corning said, pointing to the wishing lamp.
"Palace lanterns?" Long Xuanling looked at Kang Ning.
"Oh, we, too, call this wishing lamp a palace lamp." I explained with a smile.
"Jingwan, on these lamp cloths, you can write wishes, you write and I will ask Vice General Liu to put the lamp." Long Xuanling pointed to these lamps and said.
"Okay." I didn't shirk it, nodded and walked over to a wishing lamp.
In the past seventeen years in the demon capital, when I put the palace lanterns every year, I made a wish, that is, I hope to see Long Xuanling as soon as possible.
Now that Long Xuanling is by my side, I thought for a while, took the brush handed over by Vice General Liu, turned sideways, and wrote a wish on the lamp.
"What did you wish?" Long Xuanling looked at me and asked.
"Wishes, if you say it, it won't work." I remembered that he used this sentence to prevaricate me, and now he uses this sentence to prevaricate him.
Long Xuanling listened, nodded, and did not ask any more questions.
Kang Ning pulled the corner of my skirt and said, "Mother, Ning'er also wants to make a wish." ”
"Okay." I immediately handed the brush to Corning.
Corning took the brush, walked to the wishing lamp beside me, and wrote a sentence thoughtfully.
She not only wrote it down, but also read it out loud: "Hope, Daddy, I will always like Mother and Ning'er." ”
Long Xuanling was amused by Kang Ning's demeanor, and deliberately said to Kang Ning: "Ning'er, if you don't listen to your mother, your wish will not come true." ”
"Ning'er's wish, not to the lamp, Ning'er's wish to his father, how can a person's heart be controlled by God?" Kang Ning raised his head, looked at Long Xuanling, and said something far beyond her age in a very immature voice.
This remark made Long Xuanling a little surprised.
"I didn't expect Ning'er, you know so much at your young age?" Long Xuanling touched Kang Ning's head dotingly.
Kang Ning still looked at Long Xuanling: "Daddy, are you willing to grant Ning'er's wish?" ”
Long Xuanling was stunned for a moment and nodded at Kang Ning.
Seeing Long Xuanling nodding, Kang Ning immediately happily held up the brush and shouted, "Daddy is the best!" ”
"Put on the lights!" Long Xuanling smiled and hugged Kang Ning and said.
I immediately looked at Long Xuanling and asked, "Pray for the night, don't you make a wish?" ”
Long Xuanling shook his head: "This is exclusive, your daughter's family is innocent." ”
"Yes." I smiled wryly and nodded, and together with Long Xuanling, I stepped aside.
The hundreds of wishing lanterns soon floated up and flew into the air.
Kang Ning craned his neck and looked carefully at her lamp, while I looked at the father and daughter beside me, and couldn't help but get close to Long Xuanling, quietly snuggling up to him.
"Mother, will these palace lanterns fly to the demon capital?" Kang Ning raised his fat finger and pointed to the wishing lamp: "Aunt Qing, can you see it?" ”
I immediately glanced at Kang Ning: "Ning'er, what my mother said is just a story, where did the demon capital come from?" ”
Kang Ning was stunned, and immediately understood, and only looked at the light with his eyes open and did not speak.
And Long Xuanling hugged Kang Ning, as if he was watching the lights with us on the surface, but I was too familiar with his eyes, and he must be thinking about something at this moment.
Therefore, I didn't bother to look at the lights, so I stayed in the suburbs for an hour, and then it ended hastily, and everyone went back together.
In the car, Kangning was still shouting that he wanted to go to the night market in Youzhou, but I vetoed it.
First, she had been playing all day, and now that it was night, it was time to rest.
There is another reason, that is, Long Xuanling looked out of the car window, as if he had something on his mind, presumably he didn't have the heart to accompany us to visit any night market.
Kangning was well-behaved, and when she heard me say no, she didn't make a fuss, and obediently leaned into my arms.
After returning to Shuai's Mansion, Long Xuanling asked Xiaohe to take Kang Ning to rest, and he himself went back to the room with me.
"Jingwan, there's something I want to tell you." Long Xuanling looked at me and spoke.
I had anticipated that he had something to say, so I nodded at him, and the door was closed as soon as the two of them entered.
As soon as the door was closed, Long Xuanling said, "In a few days, I will lead the troops to fight Liangcheng." ”
"What?" I thought that Long Xuanling was going to tell me about that woman, but I didn't expect him to suddenly say such a sentence.
"Why are you attacking Liangcheng?" I don't understand, he has just conquered Youzhou, and it will take time to restore the morale of the army, why would he go to Liangcheng at this time?
"You women don't understand the matter of marching and fighting, in short, I am bound to win Liangcheng." Long Xuanling said and took my hand: "It's just that it may take a while to go here, and you need to take care of this handsome mansion." ”
"Pray for the night, I think it's better for you to think twice about this?" I want to persuade him.
But Long Xuanling's eyes were full of determination: "Jingwan, what I decided will not change, and you don't need to worry about me." ”
"You?" I looked at him, knowing that it would be useless to say more, so I could only swallow all the words that came to my mouth.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Long Xuanling raised his hand to caress my cheek, stared at me and said, "Originally, I wanted to send you back to Jincheng to live for a while, but now, your mother is also here, you won't be too lonely, don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”
Long Xuanling promised me, but I could only smile and nod wryly.
