Chapter 50: The Man Who Came from Far Away
Although the matter of the conference came to an end for the time being, Jiang Ning did not relax because of this, on the contrary, Fu Xuanjian was about to be born, and she had more things to think about.
The hateful man in the red mud alley actually returned all the famous posts she sent to her one by one, which made Jiang Ning very annoyed, how many people couldn't ask for things were worthless in his eyes, and he didn't even want to look at them a few more times. Jiang Ning stomped her feet angrily, but even so, she still left her face behind, and asked the little maid Chen'er to invite her over with her name card for many days.
Chen'er's return failed to polish her fighting spirit, and she even excitedly wanted to compare with Shen to see who would finally compromise.

Outside the city of Plum Mist.
A plainly dressed carriage was driving quietly on the official road at this time, an old horse, a young man, and an old man in the carriage, this was all they had.
The simple and elegant dress of the two people in the group could not attract the attention of the people around them at all, and even the old horse seemed weak.
The characters of the big family would not use such carriages, so most of the people on the road classified them as down-and-out nobles, believing that they were holding on to the pride of being nobles, but unfortunately pride did not improve their lives.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he sat outside the carriage and drove the carriage. However, because the old horse walks slowly, he does not need to hold the reins all the way, and only needs to shout a few times from time to time to adjust the lower position.
Maybe it was the first time he came to this place, so the boy was surprised by everything around him, and he began to see the low walls of Plum Fog City from a distance. Before I came, the boy heard that the peach blossoms in Meiwu City were a must in Dawei, but unfortunately it was not the season to watch the peach blossoms. But it's not the right time, and these can only be thought about.
The young man was a little deflated for a while, and then remembered the people in the carriage for a while, so he turned his head to the carriage and said, "Grandpa, Meiwu City is almost here." ”
The old man in the carriage also slowly walked out of the carriage after hearing the young man's voice. He imitated the boy and sat on the edge of the carriage, with one leg on the cart and the other drooping, because the carriage went slowly, so he did not have to worry about bumping into it.
Although the old man's white hair was crawling all over the bun, his face was tough and his spirit was strong. He looked at the city wall that was becoming more and more distinct in the distance, stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "We came by chance, and we encountered something interesting." ”
After speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at his grandson, and said, "Do you know what we are here for this time?" ”
The young man looked at the old man and pouted, "Look..."
As soon as he said the first word, he saw that his grandfather had blown his beard and stared at him, and he was about to hit him.
Seeing this, the young man held back all the words behind him, fell back, raised his left arm while protecting his head, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Ning, Sister Ning, I am here to marry Sister Ning." I remember, Grandpa! ”
After the young man finished speaking, the old man's angry expression subsided, and a smile appeared on his face again. The young man looked at his grandfather's smile, and then muttered quietly, saying what he had just said. "Grandpa, I've always treated Sister Ning as an older sister, and I don't mean that."
The grandfather and grandson quarreled about this issue all the way I don't know how much, and the young man reined in the precipice and changed his statement, naturally because he was beaten a few times before, and this time he has a long memory. But although the boy said so, it was still the original idea in his heart.
"What do children know? Marrying Xiao Ning, you are equivalent to stepping on the Qingyun ladder with one foot, and your future achievements will not be under your grandfather. This is only for yourself, and it is more beneficial for our Wen family. ”
The old man looked at his grandson, moved with affection, and understood with reason.
In fact, young people understand the truth, but he still can't have such thoughts about Sister Ning.
"Heqin, Heqin, grandpa, I should be the first man to be pro!" The young man muttered quietly.
This time, the old man really gave you a shiver and slapped him on the head: "I've only been reading for a few days, and I'm here to drop my grandfather's bookbag, don't you understand when grandpa?" What kind of family are you? ”
After the young man was slapped, he scratched his head and said aggrievedly: "Isn't the meaning the same?" ”
"Same fart."
The old man was actually a little hesitant when he said this, because he felt that what his grandson said was really reasonable, but when he thought about it, he felt even more angry, so the strength of the shot was also heavier, and it seemed that only in this way could he feel more comfortable.
The young man was slapped in the face, and he didn't want to continue to say anything about this issue, so he asked instead, "Grandpa, what if Sister Ning finds a suitable candidate?" ”
The old man smiled lightly: "Do you think it is possible to find someone who asks for such a request in such a small place?" Let's not talk about whether you can find it, even if you find it, you have to go through the grandfather's test. ”
Speaking of this, the old man's words paused, and then continued: "However, Meiwu City has been very lively these days, maybe there is such a candidate." There are people from the three factions, five clans and eight pillars here, and there are many geniuses in these families. ”
When the young man heard that the topic had shifted, he became interested again and asked, "Grandpa, why are they all here?" Is there any treasure in Plum Fog City? The young man's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke.
The old man smiled: "It's not just a baby, it's a big baby!" I didn't expect to be here at this juncture. ”
As soon as he heard that it was really a baby, the young man's interest was even higher, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of baby?" Grandfather. ”
Hearing this, the old man pointed to the sword behind the young man and said, "A sword!" ”
The young man's eyes widened in understanding. He had known the story of his sword since he was a child, and he also knew the power of this sword, so when he heard his grandfather's words, he was very surprised.
The young man had not yet recovered from his surprise, and the old man seemed to see through his thoughts, looking at the avenue ahead and said slowly: "The specific matters, the people here have already arranged, you kid only need to take care of your own affairs." Haven't you always wanted to go out and wander alone, as long as you succeed this time, I will allow you to go out and wander alone when you reach the Great Perfection of the Vientiane Realm. ”
Hearing the master mention this again, the young man had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, and retracted his thoughts stupidly, hoping that Sister Ning had found a suitable candidate. And the excitement of hearing that his grandfather allowed him to go out alone immediately disappeared, and his grandfather's request was too difficult for him.

Lazy to draw moth eyebrows, late to make up and groom.
In Tingxiang Garden, Jiang Ning sat lazily in front of the dressing table, her hands were only a strand of long hair and she kept fiddling, looking at herself in the mirror stunned.
"Knock knock!"
There was a crisp knock outside the door of the small building, which pulled Jiang Ning's thoughts back.
"Come in!" Jiang Ning said softly.
An outsider pushed the door in, and it was a generational double. Dai Shuang looked at Jiang Ning, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and was slightly lazy, and his clothes were not neatly dressed.
She didn't have much surprise because of this, but said slowly: "Miss, the person sent by the door has already arrived outside Meiwu City!" ”
Jiang Ning combed her hair and asked, "Who is the person who came?" ”
Dai Shuang replied, "Elder Wen and his grandson. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning said with a rare smile: "Xiao Jiu'er is here!" By the way, did Chen'er send my name post? ”
Dai Shuang nodded and said, "Fang has already gone out." ”
After speaking, Dai Shuang wanted to speak and stopped.
Jiang Ning saw that she had something to say, so she said directly: "Shuang'er, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Dai Shuang was entangled for a moment, then looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Miss, don't blame Shuang'er for being too talkative." Although the relationship between you and Gongzi Wen is very good, Elder Wen brought him here at this time, obviously with bad intentions. ”
Jiang Ning smiled indifferently after hearing this: "Shuang'er, I naturally know what you said. Xiao Jiu'er and I grew up together since childhood, and our relationship is very close, and he is like my younger brother in my eyes. In the past few years, although I have come to Meiwu City far away from the door, I believe that Xiao Jiu'er must still remember my sister. The Wen family has always been friendly with us, but Elder Wen Hua is a little anxious, and he has always wanted to go further in his relationship with us, and he wants Xiao Jiu'er to marry me, and I know my intentions. It's just that I still have a lot of things I want to do, and I don't want to be tied down by these things at the moment. I'll take care of this, don't worry. ”
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, Dai Shuang's heart that had been holding it relaxed at this time.
After the two talked a little more, Dai Shuang slowly retreated.
