Ning Xin came, and Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui were also brought over by her.

Of course, Wu's mother's cooking was not enough, and when Li Gui saw it, he naturally rolled up his arms and sleeves and added another big dish.

I boiled a pot and put it in the middle, and made a bunch of lamb rolls.

"This is what I saw at the inn yesterday when they ate, and said that in the capital, this season is a good time to eat mutton."

Li Gui rubbed his hands, and his face was full of words, praise me, praise me, praise me.

Ning Xin bent her smile to meet the old man's not harsh request: "Grandpa Li, you are really amazing, otherwise I would not have been willing to let you out and come with my father!" It's because I love eating your food so much. ”

Li Guile couldn't close his mouth, and said with a smile: "Do everything, and I will do it for you and your father in the future!" ”

With that, he hurriedly stood up again and ran to the backyard to cut the other side dishes.

That's probably how home should feel.

Ning Chengwen looked at the cheerful and laughing appearance of everyone on the table, and the beating heart seemed to be placed on the warm flame.

Hot.

That's home.

Otherwise, it's just an empty house.

After dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, Alin took a few people to the door to set off fireworks.

Ning Xin was afraid of the cold, so she was dressed warmly, holding a hand stove in her arms, standing at the window and looking out.

Ning Chengwen actually wanted to play, but his daughter didn't go, so he naturally wanted to be by Ning Xin's side.

"Xin'er is not cold, do you want to add another piece of clothing?" Although he knew that his daughter was invincible outside, as long as she was by her side, Ning Chengwen still treated her like a porcelain doll.

Ning Xin shook her head, looked at him again, and suddenly spoke: "Daddy, is King Heng Brother Gu Fei?" ”

The sudden question stunned Ning Chengwen for a moment.

I wanted to hide the secret, but I subconsciously said it: "How did Xin'er know?" ”

This is the acquiescence of the side.

Ning Xin frowned slightly, sighed for a while and said, "It's really him, I'll just say how could it be so coincidental." ”

This time, Ning Chengwen went to Beijing to take the exam, and Ning Xin originally didn't want to accompany him.

Until I received that letter......

Knowing His Majesty the strange identity of King Heng......

She has mobilized countless contacts and networks to find out the identity of His Royal Highness King Heng.

But I still don't have a clue.

This is enough to make Ning Xin's heart anxious.

At this time, Huainan suddenly broke the news of the death of Gu Fei, the prince of Huainan.

is in his teenage years, and he is born strong, how can he suddenly say that he died violently?

And Ning Xin still remembered that before Gu Fei left, she said that she was going to come to the capital, and she also said that she would wait for them in the capital.

The two were connected, and Ning Xin boldly guessed that this mysterious His Majesty King Heng was likely to be the familiar brother Gu Fei in her mouth.

Gu Fei became King Heng and was so good to her father.

No matter what, Ning Xin was not at ease, so she packed her bags overnight and rushed to the capital with her servants.

This way of eating and sleeping in the open, dreaming of sleeping at night.

It was to arrive in the capital before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ning Chengwen didn't expect Xin'er to discover this secret so quickly.

He was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Xin'er...... What's so weird about that, you say? ”

Ning Xin shook her head thoughtfully, nodded again, and then looked at Ning Chengwen seriously and said: "Daddy, I guess you also know that Brother Gu Fei's identity must be kept secret, as for how well he treats you, now we can only bear it, I will find an opportunity to visit him another day, and you will leave the rest alone." ”

The notice of the test before Chinese New Year's Eve has been posted.

The exam is scheduled for late February, and there is not much time left.

The reason why Ning Xin had to come was because she didn't want anything to delay her father's review.

No matter who wants to hinder her father's entrance examination now, she can pick up a knife and cut them.

She's here to support her father.

It's also here to be a shield for her father.

As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, time was like a mad dog running fast.

Ning Chengwen took classes in Guozijian step by step, while Ning Xin stayed in Beijing and didn't have any specific things, that is, she was responsible for taking care of her father's living and living.

But she vaguely knew in her heart that Gu Fei would soon come to the door.

As expected, in the second week of her arrival in the capital, an invitation from Hengwangfu was sent.

But to Ning Xin's surprise, it was not her who was invited, but Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui......

Ning Xin looked at the name on the invitation post, the whole person was a little confused, and asked Fourth Uncle Yu with a pair of big eyes: "Uncle Grandpa Li, have you and Gu Fei ever known ......each other in the past?" ”

"Yes, I know." Fourth Uncle Yu bowed his head silently and didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Gui was also silent on the side.

Ning Xin finally recovered a little from the shock just now.

At this time, the two didn't want to talk, so she didn't urge, but waited quietly.

After a long time, Fourth Uncle Yu said lightly: "The two of us used to be the secret guards of the Huainan Palace. ”

The reason why it is a dark guard is that it is an existence that cannot see the light.

The two of them are not of high rank in the palace, and it is not their turn to do ordinary major things.

But it was that time when the princess had a difficult birth, and she caught up with the hostile forces of the prince to make trouble in the palace.

Only the fourth uncle and Li Gui were left in the house.

The two took on the job of protecting the princess.

It took almost half their lives for them to save the princess and the infant little prince from the hands of the man in black.

Later, he was also rewarded by the prince.

But it didn't take long for the upper echelons to persuade them to leave the palace for some unfounded reasons, and made them swear that they would never tell what they saw that night in their lives.

The same is true for Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui before returning to Dayao Village.

Originally, they also wanted to enjoy their old age in Dayao Village.

If you hadn't met Ning Xin, a little girl with ghosts and elves......

But...... Who made fate so strange, they met this little girl, and really became her and her father's relatives.

They were afraid that these two little fools would be wronged outside.

I'm afraid that they won't eat well outside and sleep well.

I had to come out of the cramped small village of Dayao Village and re-enter the rivers and lakes, wanting to become the support and barrier of the Ning family's father and daughter.

But......

Fourth Uncle Yu lowered his head, his gray beard against his chest.

His expression was not very clear, but his eyes were full of determination.

After entering Beijing and knowing that Gu Fei was the prince of King Heng, the points in his mind that could not be matched seemed to have explanations all at once.

It was not the princess of Huainan who gave birth to a child in the palace of Huainan that day, but the favorite concubine of the saint at that time.

Because the favorite concubine is the princess of the enemy country, the entire court and the opposition want this woman to die with the child in her womb.

Then the Holy One sent the people to the palace.

raised this child as Gu Fei.

Now, the prince has returned his son to the palace.

The Holy One has plans to make this son a prince.

Now, his background will become the biggest secret in the world, and everyone who knows this secret will ...... All damn it......

"Uncle, Grandpa Li, you told me."

Ning Xin finally couldn't help it anymore and opened her mouth to urge.

Fourth Uncle Yu and Li Gui glanced at each other, and it was clearly written in their eyes that they both knew the fate of going to Hengwangfu this time.

That being the case......

Fourth Uncle Yu touched Ning Xin's little head, and for the first time, he didn't speak in a weird way, but showed a kind smile, and said, "It's okay, have you forgotten, when you were in the village, it was your uncle who helped you and your father support you, and now you naturally have to rely on my old bones!" ”

Ning Xin saw an inexplicable sadness in that loving smile.

She suddenly hugged Fourth Uncle Yu's legs, tightly, not wanting him to take a step: "Uncle, you tell Xin'er the truth, what are the secrets between you and Gu Fei, or with the royal family or the palace." ”

It can't be said, but if it is said, it will be completely implicated.

Fourth Uncle Yu looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly in despair.

In fact, when he was still in Huainan, he had already realized that it was not easy to enter Beijing this time.

He could have refused to come to the capital.

But Ning Xin smiled and shook his arm, and he couldn't bear to refuse at all......

Who can bear to refuse a goblin and goblin......

Maybe that's how difficult his life is.

What's more, knowing that he was by Ning Xin's side and Ning Chengwen, if he hid this time, maybe it would be the father and daughter of the Ning family who would suffer.

He gritted his teeth, pulled his leg out of Ning Xin's arms, pursed his lower lip, didn't dare to look at Ning Xin, and said in a cold voice: "Hugh has to take care of the old man, I'm not your wretched father!" Where is the old man, I can't tell you a little girl. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand behind him and called Li Gui: "Go!" ”
