Chapter 39: Washing the Dust

The atmosphere suddenly stopped. The old lady's hand that was about to hold the chopsticks suddenly shook, and her disappointed eyes flashed, replaced by solemnity.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Jiang family with a meaningful smile.

Liu Changdong looked at his third uncle with some surprise, and stopped talking.

Qingwu was expressionless and buried his head lower.

The breeze and frost carry a touch of pride and confidence, as well as a joy that can't be concealed.

However, Changning, Chang'an, and the Jiang family were all quite calm, and their expressions did not change. It's just that Changning, who pays attention to his brother, finds a flash of disappointment in Chang'an's eyes.

I'm disappointed. Which one of you or your brother can't afford that Qingfeng strong? Is it necessary to be so joyful? Especially as the only sister-in-law in the third room, my brother was treated completely differently outside and in front of Liu Wenyu. Looking at the attitude of grandma and uncle towards their brother, you can know that they don't take Qingfeng seriously at all.

And how could it be so coincidental that he came back and he was promoted today. He was only a second-order mid-level cultivator yesterday. Changning thought of this, and swept his father Liu Wenyu again. His eyes were bright, shining in the dim light, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, looking at the breeze and frost, his eyes contained infinite pampering and pride.

Love is really unreasonable, Changning couldn't help but shake his head.

"Promoted to the third rank at the age of twelve?" The old lady's expression was serious.

"yes. I think I didn't enter the third order until I was eighteen years old. Liu Wenyu said excitedly. However, Chang'an and Qingfeng were only twelve years old before they entered the third order. ”

Changning muttered in his heart, his brother is a third-order lower. Qingfeng is only the upper layer of the third order. It's still a long way away.

"The fifth brother entered the third order half a year ago, and now he is the third order lower level like me." Liu Changqin's tone was genuine, with envy on his face.

Liu Wenyu smiled, and then explained, "So there are many happy events." Changqin is already a third-order lower level! It's really good. Maybe I'll be able to enter the fourth order next year. All of your generations are good, and the hope for our family in the future is on you. ”

"I'm still far from it. My fifth brother is four years younger than me, but he has the same cultivation as me. Liu Changqin looked at Liu Wenyu seriously.

Liu Wenyu was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Only then did Changning know that in addition to not being very sociable, he was still a rectum.

The old lady glanced at Changqin quite fondly.

The eldest lady watched Jiang Wenyu's joke on the side.

The Jiang family only cared about giving Chang'an and Changning the dishes they liked to eat, as if they hadn't heard it.

Qingfeng's handsome face showed an unhappy look, Qingshuang glanced at her brother worriedly, and Qingwu lowered her head and ate a piece of bread seriously.

"Third uncle, you don't know yet, right? The fifth sister entered the fourth order last night. Changdong couldn't help but say to his third uncle. Then he turned his head and said to Chang Ning in a joking tone, "Sister Ning'er broke through the fourth order at a young age. It's a shame for those of us who are brothers. ”

"Fourth-order?" Qingfeng and Qinghuang exclaimed at the same time. It took a long time to reflect that the fifth sister in Changdong's mouth was Changning, who was less than nine years old, looking at her in shock, but her heart was surging, and all kinds of emotions and tastes kept emerging.

Liu Wenyu also looked at Changning, so surprised that he couldn't speak. The eyes are complex and difficult to understand, and emotions such as shock, joy, and regret flash one by one.

"Fifth sister has already broken through the fourth order?" Liu Changqin looked at Changning in surprise, and then there was envy on his face, "The fifth sister entered the fourth order at such a young age, and in the future, there will definitely be a place for the younger sister on the list of powerhouses in the Xuanwu Continent." ”

The old lady got the news early in the morning and was not surprised at this time. Jiang looked at his two children with some pride.

The eldest lady looked at the Jiang family with envy, but when she saw Changdong's face with only envy and joy, she soon felt happy, and her son was not bad.

"Actually, I'm just lucky. This time I came back with some gifts from outside. Someone will be sent to everyone's place tomorrow. I'm sure to surprise you. Chang Ningjiao said quietly.

"Is it related to cultivation?" Liu Changqin seemed to have some expectations.

When the others heard this, they also looked at Changning with expectant eyes, even Qingwu, who had been keeping his head down. Only Qingfeng and Qingshuang lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

"I was supposed to surprise you, but you didn't. Really. That Ning'er had to reveal a little bit first. It is indeed related to the promotion of Xuan Qi. After Changning finished speaking, he ate seriously. No more opportunities for questioning.

Everyone had different thoughts, and the dinner party ended quickly. The eldest aunt took the eldest young master Changdong to leave first. Qingwu Tui said that he wanted to rest early and left. Liu Wenyu looked at Changning and Chang'an for a while, but he didn't know what to say, so he left with the breeze and frost in a lost mood.

There were only four people left in the hall: the old lady, the Jiang family, Chang'an, and Changning.

"Go down, all of you." Changning stretched out the maids who were standing on the side. showed a solemn expression, "Grandma, Ning'er wants to ask, how did the clan discuss the matter of Aunt Chen's promotion to a flat wife?" ”

The atmosphere became serious.

Jiang didn't expect Changning to ask this question, first stunned, and then also looked at the old lady with concern. Since the Lianzhou Rebellion, the Yao family's power on the north bank has grown stronger, although the Jiang family is not opposed to the Liu family, it is not on the same line. In the past six months, too many things have happened, and now she feels sour in her heart just thinking about it.

Chang An also looked at the old lady seriously, this matter had been pressing on the bottom of his heart, almost making him a little breathless.

The old lady showed a helpless expression, "You kid, you even take care of adult affairs." ”

"Grandma, tell your granddaughter the truth." Although Changning had a coquettish tone, his face was firm.

"The clan disagrees. But he will not refute this matter explicitly. The old lady sneered, with a look of disdain on her face, "The Yao family and several small families have joined forces with the Great North Shore to engage in wind and rain, and they have committed the taboo of the Eight Great Families. The Jiang family didn't have time to care about them now, so they became proud, thinking that they could compete with the Jiang family, and wanted to learn from the Ji family and carve up the north bank. What a dream! ”

After hearing this, the three of them were relieved. Chang'an did have a question in his heart, "Why doesn't the Jiang family make a move now." Instead, give them hope? ”

Could it be? Changning's heart lit up.

The old man was observing the demeanor of the two of them, and smiled at Changning, "Ning'er, do you know? ”

"Ning'er doesn't know if it's right." Changning smiled, turned his head to Chang'an and said, "Brother likes fishing?" ”

"Fishing?" Chang'an thought for a moment, "Is it true?" Suddenly, there was a dazzling brilliance in his eyes, "The current situation is actually acquiesced in by the Eight Great Families?" ”

The old lady smiled slyly, "Grandma didn't say anything." ”
