Chapter 21: The Lord of the City Arrives
Ning Hanlin changed into a satin dress today and was trimming his beard.
Next to him, Mrs. Liu Yunfeng called the maid and dressed up the eldest young master.
Outside the gate of Ningfu, a gold-topped carriage was already waiting.
In front of the car, Ning Jian was feeding the horses fodder.
"It's almost time, Wen'er, you and your father are ready to go. ”
Ning Hanlin took the invitation, got into the carriage with Ning Duwen, and Ning Jian drove towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Behind the curtain of the carriage, father and son were talking.
"I didn't want to bring you here today. "Ning Hanlin was as stern as ever.
"I'll tell you one thing, when you get to the City Lord's Mansion in a while, you must remember to behave well. ”
Ning Duwen came to ask a friend for a drink, but was left by his mother and asked him to accompany his father to a banquet. The face is naturally unhappy.
"As far as I know, this city lord has taken up his post this time, and his youngest daughter has also come. You young people can talk about it, and when the time comes, talk more. ”
How could Ning Duwen not know his father's thoughts, "Who knows what that woman looks like, I think most of them are ugly." I'm too lazy to know. ”
When Ning Hanlin heard this, he immediately wanted to give a big mouth, only to remember that this unscrupulous man had just raised his eyebrows.
"You listen to me, even if she seems to be saltless, you have to make people remember you!"
"I don't care!" Ning Duwen also lost his temper.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was extremely stiff, and Ning Jian naturally pretended not to hear it.
Seeing that his father stopped talking, Ning Duwen was also silent. Old man Ren said today that he would never compromise.
Family marriage is not acceptable to Ning Duwen's temperament.
was ready for his father's stormy scolding, but he heard a sad sigh.
Ning Hanlin's face was much older, which made Ning Duwen feel inexplicably distressed.
The news of the Jinyang Sect would be transmitted back to the Ning Mansion every ten days. Ning Hanlin naturally knew that the second son had been in retreat for more than two months in order to impact the tattoo master, and his life and death were uncertain.
"Duwen, don't blame your father, for your father, you want to leave a way out for the Ning family....."
A whisper, no one heard.
.........
It was already dark, and the city lord's mansion was brightly lit.
"Yo, isn't this Lao Ning, your son was in the limelight a few days ago. Look over there, Lao Han and Lao Jiang are unhappy. ”
Ning Hanlin took Ning Duwen and greeted the heads of the families in the main hall, and naturally he would not provoke the Han and Jiang families.
"The dog is just a momentary luck, you must not kill it, otherwise his tail will not be cocked to the sky. ”
"Hahaha. ”
"Brother Ning, I think Ling Gongzi is also a talent, I don't know if you plan to get married?"
"Lao Geng, you go aside, your daughter is only twelve, what's the hurry. I see, Lao Ning and I are more like in-laws. ”
"Haha, you guys are in love. I can't be the master of this kid for a long time, and young people have to see what they want. After Ning Hanlin finished speaking, he secretly pulled Ning Duwen, who was about to run away.
The families were closed, and asked about the recent situation of the second young master, Ning Duwu. Ning Hanlin has become the central figure of everyone's discussion.
On the other side of the main hall, the old man of the Jiang family looked disdainful.
"Old Han, this time we were deflated, but we fulfilled Ning Hanlin's nouveau riche. ”
As soon as the old man of the Han family thought of his son Han Shaocong's fiasco, he was angry.
"Hmph, Lao Jiang, you can see it. That's right, it wasn't Jiang Li who lost to Ning Duwen. ”
"Then my son is not also here to save the scene for your Han Mansion. ”
"Then you won, but they didn't even release the spirit pattern, so they knocked them down with one punch. ”
As they spoke, the two had a conflict.
It's still the old man of the Jiang family who calms things down first, "Old Han, don't talk about this." I'll have a message for you. ”
"That Ning Duwu, I'm afraid something happened in Jinyang Sect. ”
Old man Han immediately became interested, "Tell me what's going on." ”
The two whispered.
In a short time, all the guests who should have come to the banquet came.
The master said loudly: "Everyone, don't be impatient. Now I have the new city lord of Tianshui City, Sun Xianbin Sun. ”
Outside the main entrance, a sturdy middle-aged man was dressed in cyan civilian clothes. Walked in steadily.
"Haha, I've kept you waiting. The contemptible Sun Xianbin will be a parent official from today onwards. In the future, we will need the assistance of all of you here to jointly govern Tianshui City. ”
As the host speaks, the banquet begins.
During the banquet, a group of wealthy businessmen and squires stepped forward to show their faces. Ning Hanlin naturally wouldn't be like this, adhering to the identity of the first family in Tianshui City, Master Ning of Ningfu, and waited until the crowd left before he stepped forward to toast alone.
"Master, this is Ning Hanlin, the head of the Ning family. ”
Listening to the master's introduction, Sun Xianbin naturally knew it a long time ago.
"Master Ning, I have heard it for a long time. Before I entered Tianshui City, I heard people talk about the deeds of the Ning family and the two sons of the Ning family in Tianshui City. ”
"Your Excellency. ”
The exchange of true identity reciprocity begins now.
It turned out that this new city lord was directly assigned by the Heavenly Dao Sect, one of the seven major sects.
Unlike small sects such as the Jinyang Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect is one of the strongest even in the entire Lingkong Continent.
Over the past hundred years, with the decline of the Hall of the Dead Heart and the Guyuan Temple, the Heavenly Dao Sect has become the most orthodox representative of the cultivation world.
The previous city lord was killed mysteriously, and this new city lord must have been a move used by the Heavenly Dao Sect to calm the hearts of the people.
In Sun Xianbin's eyes, Ning Hanlin is the key person who took over Tianshui City. Coupled with his second son Ning Duwu, if it goes well, it is not impossible to win over the head snake of Jinyang Sect.
The two hit it off, and the conversation went on quite harmoniously. Not long after, Sun Xianbin had already called Ning Hanlin Brother Ning.
During this period, Ning Hanlin asked Sun Xianbin's youngest daughter casually, knowing that the little girl was noisy, and she was alone in the back garden to admire the moon.
A look was thrown at Ning Duwen, and Ning Duwen had no choice but to pretend to say goodbye and go to the back garden.
Seeing that the new city lord did not react, the rest of the family heads also pleaded with their sons. After a while, there was only a group of adults left in the banquet hall.
..........
The backyard of the castle lord's mansion, the stables.
Ning Jian was feeding the horse, thinking about what to do with that spirit crystal.
"Hey, Ning Jian, here, here. ”
With a slight cry, a figure fell over the wall.
"Young Master?"
"Hurry up, change your clothes with me. ”
"Huh?"
Ning Duwen directly started to untie his clothes, "Don't rub it off, you can go to the back garden for me for a walk in a while, don't worry about anything." ”
"Then ..... old man?"
"Oh, and the old man, what a nuisance. Ning Duwen realized it later.
"That's it, I'll take off my clothes and leave them for you, and when you see that the time is almost up, I'll come back and change into my own clothes, and pick up my father. ”
"When he wanted to ask, he said that the things he had explained had been done, and I would go back first. ”
Without waiting for Ning Jian to understand, Ning Duwen had already taken off his purple shirt, wearing only a white undershirt, and left over the wall.
