Chapter 8 On Gift-giving
The battle between Fengyuan and Qinghe ended in a strange form, and at the beginning, the city lords of the two sides fought to the death, and in the end, they did both die. When the wordless powerhouse was gorgeously and elegantly harvesting the people of Fengyuan City who were in despair, a strong man suddenly walked out to fight against him, and this strong man was still the eccentric old man Guan Lao known to most people in the city (because Xiao Zheng was eight years old but did not seek the Tao, and he did not blame, which was incredible in the eyes of others), and the strong man with the last word without words retreated silently. Fengyuan was unbelievably protected.
Although the battle is over, the next time is to test Fengyuan City and Qinghe City, after all, after a fierce fight, the top power on both sides is dead, and the other cities around will definitely be ready to move. Although it will not act immediately, after all, it is impossible for these thousand-year-old cities to say that there is no heritage. But from time to time, there will still be a little harassment and nausea.
Ning Qianjun finally felt the pressure of being the head of the house recently, and after the war, everything had to be arranged in person, such as pacifying the people, repairing the city wall, dealing with the surrounding relations, and so on. What's more, he himself was seriously injured, but fortunately, there were few core members of the family except for his eldest brother, so of course injuries were inevitable. Today he finally has some time, as a wise being, he is ready to make a big gift to visit Guan Lao. Thanks to him for keeping Fengyuan City, but the most important thing is to get along with this strong man, but you must hurry, after all, it has been five or six days since the war. As a decision-maker, being able to make decisions quickly is the most basic ability, so he immediately instructed the little guy next to him and said, "Little Five, go and come over, Second Elder." ”
Ning Baishen soon came to the courtyard of the second nephew, who is now the head of the family, Ning Baishen sat down and asked, "The head of the family, are you feeling better?" What happened when you called me over today?" Ning Qianjun leaned on the bed and replied: "Second uncle, don't call me the head of the family, you still call me Xiaojun." As for bothering Second Uncle today, I want to go and thank the strong man who helped me survive the catastrophe in Fengyuan City that night, but I can't go there in person because I can't move like this now. But we can't just send someone over, second uncle, your ability to do things is known to the whole house, and the identity of the second uncle will not make the strong man think that we mean to despise us. Second uncle, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Ning Baishen's heart suddenly brightened a lot, after all, even if he was Ning Qianjun's own uncle, and his relationship with this nephew had always been very good, but after all, the other party was now the head of the family, and he was still very worried when he came, and he understood the ability of this nephew. After all, the anxious things have been dealt with in the past few days, and the head of the family may need to adjust the management of the family. But today, it seems that the head of the family has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, which makes him feel that the fatigue of the war has suddenly disappeared a lot, and he replied with a smile: "Xiaojun, you are right, you should indeed go in person to show our sincerity, but you really should not go out now;
Ning Qianjun tapped his fingers on the edge of the bed and said slowly: "I thought about it for a long time and felt that ordinary things would definitely not be able to enter the eyes of the strong, such as beauties that mortals would flock to, money and the like;
The teacup in Ning Baishen's hand fell to the ground and made a very bright sound, as if protesting against Ning Baishen's indiscretion made him crush to pieces, but Ning Baishen didn't feel it at all. Just stared at Ning Qianjun with straight eyes, and stammered: "Yunshen Ningxin... Ning Xinyu... You say that the family treasures Ning Xinyu?" Ning Baishen suddenly strengthened his tone and said, he quickly continued: "I don't agree with you doing this, Yunshen Ning Xinyu is a treasure inherited by our Ning family for thousands of years, and there is only one piece in the entire Northwest Regions, I resolutely disagree!" Ning Baishen's words were simply shouted.
Ning Qianjun smiled bitterly and said: "Second uncle, I know what you said, but the requirements for using the 'Yunshen Ning Heart Jade' are too high, and you must be a flawless person in the realm to use it completely, and you can barely use it if you are a master of the realm." This thing has been left in our family for a thousand years, and it has been abandoned for a thousand years, and we don't know that it will continue to be wasted, and we will give him to that strong man now, and if he accepts the preciousness based on this jade, he will remember us a great favor, and if he confiscates it, but our sincerity is in place, our purpose will be achieved, right?"
Ning Baishen heard Ning Qianjun and he couldn't refute it, he opened his mouth a few times but finally didn't say anything, he was speechless when Ning Qianjun said, he also knew that this nephew family head was very comprehensive and in line with the interests of the family, but he was just unwilling. Anyone who sees a family inheritance of thousand-year-old maple things being given away will feel uncomfortable, not to mention that what is to be given away is a famous treasure. Maybe this is the mentality of people when they get old, pay attention to everything, cherish everything. They may lack the ambition of young people, but they are endearingly persistent. In the end, Ning Baishen sighed, and said in a weak tone: "I understand, I will definitely handle this matter well, Xiaojun, you can rest assured." At the same time, he muttered in a low voice: "I hope that the strong man will not accept it, after all, this is passed down from the ancestors, eh!"
Hearing Ning Baishen's whisper, Ning Qianjun smiled helplessly, he could understand this second uncle, and doing so was also the result of comprehensive consideration. He sighed in his heart and said: "Big brother, the head of the family is really tired, you have to bless our Ning Mansion to survive this calamity safely!" Ning Baishen said: "Xiaojun, if there is nothing else, I will go down to prepare, you have to take care of your body, and many things in the family will be dealt with after you recover!"
Ning Qianjun said: "Well, then second uncle, you go and prepare, I will get better as soon as possible, and the second uncle, you go and bring Qianyan, she is clever." I don't have to worry about the two of you. So Ning Baishen said goodbye and left, leaving Ning Qianjun looking out the window stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon Ning Baishen took out the irregular hexagonal dyed head-sized cyan jade in the safest place of his treasure house, looking at this piece of jade, he sighed again and again, but in his heart, he was reluctant, he still put the jade into a gorgeous gift box and planned to send it over. Ning Qianyan was waiting for her father outside the door of the treasure house, and when she saw her father come out with a bitter face like eating Coptis chinensis, the suspicion on his face was even worse. On the way here, her father had this expression, she was curious about what gift his second brother asked him to give to the strong, but his father scolded her like he had been stepped on by his tail, and she had to follow obediently. Now looking at his father's expression, he was embarrassed to ask, and followed his father all the way out of Ningfu.
Ning Baishen came to the small courtyard of the Guan family with an ugly face, and at this time, he immediately conjured a smiling face and went to knock on the door in person, but no one responded for a long time. Seeing that the people from the City Lord's Mansion came to watch the excitement around a lot of people, they waited for a long time and didn't open the door, and one of them couldn't help but say: "Guan Lao and Xiao Zheng moved away four days ago, and gave us all the furniture and everything, and they may not come back." Ning Baishen said silently, "Let's go." He turned around and asked, "Does anyone know where Guan Lao went?" and everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. Ning Baishen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't make friends with a strong person, but the treasure jade in the family was also saved. Speaking from the heart, he was really reluctant.
He sighed and said, "Ning Xinyu is still our Ning family after all." This was heard by Feng Ning Qianyan recently, she widened her eyes and said loudly, "What, Ning Xin," a jade child was frightened back by his father's eyes before she could run out, and she said distractedly: "Second brother, also." It's really daring. Ning Baishen told Ning Qianyan: "Don't be in a daze, notify the head of the family quickly." ”
After Ning Qianjun received this news, he looked out the window and said with fluttering eyes: "Long Yin and the lively pond will eventually go to Mangze!"
