Chapter 275: Keeping the New Year
Jing Ning looked at the worry in Zheng Anyan's eyes and the reproach in his words, and there seemed to be a warm current in his heart. The old lady also knew that she was a little thinly dressed, and her little hands were cold, but she only told herself to wear more clothes, just a superficial concern. But Zheng Anyan is different.
Zheng Anyan genuinely cares about himself. That's nice. Jing Ning's good-looking eyes were bent, and his eyes were wet, "Thank you, Daddy." ”
Zheng Anyan frowned again when he heard this, "Say thank you to Daddy." He seemed to reproach.
"What are you doing here? Have you eaten early in the morning? ”
Jing Ning replied: "I was woken up by my subordinates in the morning, and the house was very lively, and then I got up." I just went to say hello to the old lady. ”
"Haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go, let's go have breakfast first. Zheng Anyan heard a lot of words but didn't mention breakfast, this kid is really uncomfortable.
Jing Ning followed behind Zheng Anyan, secretly stretched out her pink and tender tongue, and grimaced at Wen Xing.
Wen Xing didn't hold back and laughed directly, "Poof." ”
Zheng Anyan turned his head when he heard the sound behind him, and his suspicious gaze crossed Jing Ning's face.
Jing Ning hurriedly straightened his expression, pretending that he didn't know anything to meet his gaze, with a faint smile on his face.
Zheng Anyan turned his head again. Jing Ning's eyes swept to Wen Xing's angry little face, and he couldn't help but hook his lips.
Wen Xing saw that Miss's mood had improved, and he was also secretly relieved. Just thinking that after laughing in front of the master just now, he followed Jing Ning closely with some fear, not daring to look up at Zheng Anyan's back.
The morning meal should be lighter, so there is only some porridge and light side dishes on the table.
Jing Ning ate quietly, and after turning around this morning, her stomach was indeed a little hungry.
"I'm going to keep watch tonight, and I'll be there in the lobby when the time comes." Zheng Anyan's voice suddenly remembered.
Jing Ning looked up and saw Zheng Anyan drinking porridge with the same unchanged expression, then put down the bowl and looked at her quietly, "This year's mansion is indeed much quieter and colder than in previous years." Therefore, I will no longer let you go back to your own courtyard to observe the New Year, and everyone will observe the New Year together. ”
Jing Ning nodded and smiled, "I know Daddy." ”
In previous years, he was in his own courtyard, and he slowly stayed up until midnight alone, and then went to bed. This year, I want to keep the New Year with Zheng Anyan, and there are no two annoying people around Zheng Xiuning and Yang, although the old lady will definitely be there at that time, but it can be tolerated.
Jing Ning thought lightly in his heart, and the porridge bowl he picked up was not drunk for a long time.
Zheng Anyan screamed a few times to pull her thoughts back. "Jing Ning? What's wrong? ”
Jing Ning came back to his senses and smiled, "It's okay, Daddy." Is there anything I need to prepare for the New Year's Celebration? ”
"Just let the butler prepare it. It's nothing more than some food, so that you don't go hungry during the New Year. Zheng Anyan spoke.
"Got it, Daddy."
In the evening, Jing Ning, Zheng Anyan and the old lady had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, on the surface it was a happy scene, and it was very warm for the family to sit and eat together.
After eating, the maid on the side added some coals to the stove in the house. Jing Ning held the teacup, and Zheng Anyan and the old lady chatted on the side.
Somewhat boring. Jing Ning thought to himself. She took a sip of hot tea absentmindedly, and Zheng Anyan instructed his subordinates to bring a few stacks of pastries and put them next to Jing Ning, and he also saw that Jing Ning was already in high spirits.
This Chinese New Year's Eve is really boring. Zheng Anyan agreed very much in his heart.
"Jing Ning, this girl will be the last time to keep the New Year in the Prime Minister's Mansion this year." The old lady's words suddenly turned to Jing Ning, and she seemed to be a little emotional.
Jing Ning and Zheng Anyan were stunned after hearing this, and then thought that they would marry Xiao Rin in the early spring after the New Year.
The smile on Zheng Anyan's face was a little blurred, and he seemed to sigh, "Yes." ”
It was originally a very warm scene, but because of the old lady's unprovoked words, it instantly became depressed.
Jing Ning frowned slightly, and found that Zheng Anyan was not in a good mood, and didn't want his affairs to affect Zheng Anyan, so he laughed and said: "Although we don't keep the New Year together, Jing Ning's heart has always been in the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter where she is, she is always keeping the New Year with the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Zheng Anyan's mood eased a little, and he also knew that Jing Ning was comforting himself, thinking that he was already such an elder who had been jealous of Xiao Rin's junior, it was really not good. Thinking of this, the knots that have been entangled in my heart seem to be unraveled.
Zheng Anyan smiled comfortably, "It is an eternal truth to follow your father at home and marry your husband." Marry Xiao Rin in the future, if Xiao Rin treats you badly, come back to find your father. ”
Jing Ning smiled and said, "Got it, thank you Daddy." ”
The old lady interjected on the side: "After marrying, you must be steady and dignified, and remember not to do something out of the ordinary to disgrace the Prime Minister's Mansion and your father." ”
Zheng Anyan's expression sank a little after hearing this, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jing Ning: "Knowing the old lady, Jing Ning will keep it in mind." ”
Then the three of them did not mention the subject again, and the old lady stayed for a while before leaving. She is old, and the matter of keeping the New Year is not suitable for her to do, and people will be tired when they are old.
Zheng Anyan looked at the old lady's rickety figure and asked the subordinates to go back and wait for the old lady to rest.
The night outside was getting darker, but inside it was bright and warm.
After the old lady left, Zheng Anyan and Jing Ning didn't speak again, Jing Ning picked up the pastries on the plate and ate them in small bites, and after a while, he couldn't help it, so he covered his mouth and secretly yawned.
Zheng Anyan noticed it, looked at it, and asked, "Are you sleepy?" ”
Jing Ning rubbed his slightly astringent eyes, "I'm a little sleepy." ”
"It's almost time." After calculating the time, Zheng Anyan felt that the time was almost up, so he spoke.
"It's okay Daddy, I can still bear it." Jing Ning just finished speaking, and involuntarily yawned.
Zheng Anyan smiled, thought of something again, and smiled slightly.
"The people of the Xiao family are very good, Xiao Rin, this child I can see that I care about you very much, so don't worry, and you must know that your father will always be behind you and protect you."
Jing Ning's sleepiness suddenly dissipated, she blinked, her eyelashes were wet, and her eyes were wet, "Thank you, Dad." ”
As soon as Jing Ning's words fell, the sound of fireworks blooming came from outside. Jing Ning pushed open the door and stood at the door, and saw a huge fireworks blooming in the dark sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
"It's time." Zheng Anyan's voice came from behind him.
Zheng Anyan looked up at the blooming fireworks and lowered his eyes to Jing Ning, "It's a new year again." ”
"Yes, Daddy, Happy New Year." Jing Ning turned around and smiled.
"Happy New Year, go back to sleep." Zheng Anyan spoke.
Jing Ning gradually felt sleepy again, thinking that it was already time for this New Year, he didn't shirk it, and returned to his courtyard after saluting Zheng Anyan.
