After that day, Jiang Ning finally adopted Liu Jinfu's suggestion and never pleaded with Mu Jingzhao again.

For days in a row, she locked herself in her room, and saw no one except Oriyanagi, who occasionally came to deliver food.

Time flickered for three days, and on this day, the weather finally turned clear after several days of heavy rain, with blue sky and white clouds, and a warm breeze, which was a rare good weather.

But none of this has anything to do with Jiang Ning, these days she has always locked herself in the house, the door is closed, and she can only guess what time it is by the glimmer of light from the window every day, as for the weather, she doesn't know.

She stared at the shadows of the trees swaying on the window paper, not knowing what she was thinking.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

She was silent, just thinking that it was time to fold willows and deliver food again.

After a few knocks on the door, Mu Jingzhao's voice sounded at the door, "Ning'er." ”

Jiang Ning's eyes flashed slightly, but his movements as he sat upright did not change at all.

"I have something to talk to you about."

She finally came back to her senses slowly, turned her head to look at the door and other directions, at this time the sun was in full bloom, and Mu Jingzhao's figure was reflected on the window paper.

She was still sitting, with no intention of getting up, just watching quietly, without any intention of getting up.

There was a knock on the door, Mu Jingzhai's body moved slightly, and he sighed heavily, "Pei Yu is leaving today, won't you give him the last ride?" ”

After Mu Jingzhao finished speaking, he waited for a while, but there was still no movement in the house.

He was about to turn around and leave, and in the next second, Jiang Ning pushed open the door and appeared in front of him.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were dark, but in just three days, she seemed to be dozens of years old.

Mu Jingzhao looked at her, and his eyes flashed with pity.

Jiang Ning pursed his lips, as if he didn't know how to speak, and after a while, he opened his mouth a little jerkyly, "What do you mean by giving him a ride?" ”

Her tone was cold, and there was no emotion in her eyes when she looked at Mu Jingzhao.

Mu Jingzhao didn't talk, he just took the lead and walked out, Jiang Ning asked several times to no avail, so he could only follow the other party and walk forward.

The two of them walked to the door of the house one after the other.

There was a carriage parked in front of the gate, and Li Zinian stood in front of the horse and saluted respectfully.

"Master, ma'am."

Mu Jingzhao nodded slightly, and took the lead in raising his feet and walking towards the car, at the critical moment, Jiang Ning instantly grabbed her wrist, she looked haggard, but her strength was great.

"What are you going to do?"

Mu Jingzhao didn't answer, just turned sideways, grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist, and pulled her into the car.

When the two of them were seated, the carriage began to sway forward, and the two of them were relatively silent along the way, not even a casual look, not even to an irrelevant stranger.

The carriage swayed for an unknown amount of time, and came to a halt at the mouth of an alley in the middle of the city.

Mu Jingzhao looked at her, his eyes couldn't tell whether he was sad or reluctant, "Go ahead." His tone was still jerky, but the corners of his mouth were still raised.

Jiang Ning finally glanced at him suspiciously, she lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, only to find that this was the alley where she and Mu Jingzhao came to eat wontons not long ago.

Her face was full of suspicion, but she still walked towards the depths of the alley step by step, faintly, there was a warm breath of burning firewood surging towards her, Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and even regained a little luster in her stagnant eyes.

From a distance, she saw a man standing alone in front of the stall, in the midst of the smoke and fire, dressed in a green shirt, with a thin figure, long hair tied up, and a piece of white gauze tied around his neck into a somewhat funny bow shape.

The owner of the vendor was busy by the stove behind him, handing firewood to the stove with his hands and feet. She straightened up and lifted the lid to check the situation inside the pot, and when the lid was lifted for a moment, the water vapor instantly rose from the pot, and in the hazy water vapor, her face became a little unreal.

The water vapor receded, her face was re-revealed, she seemed to look at Jiang Ning on the side of the alley, and immediately smiled.

And Pei Yu, who was standing in front of the stall, also saw Jiang Ning who was moving forward, and his watery eyes instantly bloomed with a smile.

"Joy."

He called softly.

In an instant, Jiang Ning almost burst into tears.

She wandered for three years, from Shimizu Prefecture all the way to Kyoto, passing through countless places, but none of them were really regarded as her home.

The home in her heart was completely annihilated in a fire three years ago.

From then on, no matter where she was, where she stayed, even if she had been living in the harem for so long, she always felt that she was wandering.

Wandering all the way, drifting all the way.

It wasn't until she saw the picture of Pei Yu and the proprietress standing together that she suddenly had the illusion that she was home.

In the moment she was thinking, Pei Yu had already run forward quickly, scratching her head with her hands, and smiling a little shyly, "I don't know if your tastes have changed over the years, so I haven't told the boss yet, you can say it yourself." ”

Jiang Ning smiled, tears fell again, she reached out and wiped her face indiscriminately, "Okay." ”

She stepped forward and said casually to the boss, "Boss, I want a big bowl of seafood wontons." ”

"Okay." The boss said, picked up the bamboo basket with wontons on the side, poured the wontons into the boiling water, and then raised his head and looked at Jiang Ning, the smile on his face paused for a moment, "Girl, why are you so haggard?" You young people don't care about your body, and when you reach an age like me, you know that you regret it. ”

Jiang Ning didn't speak, but there were always tears in his eyes.

The two of them sat down together at a small table.

Pei Yu looked at her, his expression was a little at a loss, "When you were my eldest brother, you didn't like to cry so much. ”

As soon as these words came out, he felt speechless, and his face showed a little surprise.

yes, when did you become so crying?

Jiang Ning took a deep snort, "Why do you want to come here to eat?" ”

Jiang Ning vaguely remembered that only she knew the habit of coming to eat by herself.

My sister loves the delicate pastries in the restaurant, but my mother dislikes the winding alleys that are difficult to find, and thinks the things in this stall are unhygienic, so she doesn't like to come here.

Pei Yu is the eldest young master who has been pampered in the mansion since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will be bullied by others, so he rarely lets him go out alone.

She had also thought about whether it would be Mu Jingzhao's arrangement, but after thinking about it, Pei Yu's identity was special, and if it wasn't for a special reason, she probably wouldn't let him show up in the city.

"Isn't that your favorite stall?"

Jiang Ning's face was a little stunned.

"How do you know?" (End of chapter)
