Chapter 7: Sorrow and Stew
You always have to believe that whatever happens is God's best arrangement, whether it is lucky or unlucky. It's all the best result you choose.
Ji Ning whimpered and cried while swallowing the stew. Seeing Xiang Xiaomo dumbfounded, he really couldn't understand how such a little doll could eat so much.
The shopkeeper saw that Xiang Xiaomo was handsome, and there were servants waiting outside the store, so he served attentively. When the third bowl of stew was brought to the table, even the shopkeeper who had nothing to do sat at the adjacent table to join in the fun.
Now that they heard that there was a mutiny in Chuzhou, even the Yunzhou Mansion, which was far away from them, was panicked. Even with this business, it is becoming more and more deserted. Otherwise, watch a child eat! It's fun!
Seeing that there were still seasonings such as chili noodles on the table, he grabbed the meat with chopsticks in one hand, and skillfully poured the chili noodles into the bowl with the other hand. In the bowl that was already extremely oily and watery, dipped in bright red chili peppers, and Ji Ning used the chopsticks to reverse it at will. Pick up a piece of meat stained with chili peppers and put it in your mouth and chew it. Tear stains stained the corners of the mouth, and the soup mixed together, embarrassed and funny.
The shopkeeper sat nearby and swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously. The shopkeeper even had saliva overflowing from the corners of his mouth. They are all wondering, is our own stew really so delicious? Or is it something special today? The three of them all looked at the last piece of lean meat in the bowl, and watched Ji Ning put it into their mouths, for some reason, they were actually a little distressed.
Clang... Bao Ning drank all the soup in the bowl, put the third bowl in a corner of the table with satisfaction, and still whimpered: "Sister Xiangxiang! I'm also going to... Woo..."
Xiang Xiaomo looked helpless and embarrassed, this kid is poisonous! What do you do when you cry with enjoyment?
She covered her face and waved her hand, signaling the shopkeeper to go and prepare, the shopkeeper ran away before the shopkeeper got up, he seemed to be thinking, watching this guy eat, more fragrant than eating himself, the shopkeeper is too slow, in case the guests don't want to eat for a while, they have to regret dying.
For a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the shopkeeper even waived the money for a bowl of stewed rice in Jianning. It's just that the shopkeeper was a little reluctant to leave, which made the shopkeeper a little embarrassed. The chef excitedly shook the little hand of the thief and personally helped him into the carriage. Talking about more and more, I was moved.
Jian Ning may have eaten enough at this time, although her face was full of sadness, but she no longer whimpered and cried, Xiang Xiaomo was a little girl after all, looking at this child with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes so cute, she had already let go of the mustard in her heart.
Xiang Xiaomo took out a stack of letterhead and handed it to Jian Ning and said: "Tomorrow, we will leave for Yunzhou Mansion, and all the big and small matters along the way have been arranged, including your new identity."
Jian Ning casually flipped a few pages, then put them aside and closed his eyes to recuperate. Xiang Xiaomo prompted: "You better read it a few more times, it's best to remember every piece of information clearly." I don't need to say more about my own life, right? ”
He rolled over, as if he felt uncomfortable with the cushions in the carriage, and sat down on the fur-covered floor, where he leaned lazily, silently and looking at the moonlight shining through the window.
When they came to the station, they were greeted by two sergeants in armor. The groom and the servant departed.
Looking at the standard armor they were wearing, Zai Ning asked Xiang Xiaomo, "Even Jinling Wei was sent?" Exaggerated, right? At the end of the day, I'm just going to be a good student. It doesn't have to be that way."
Xiang Xiaomo rolled his eyes and said lightly: "You two brothers, you are not fuel-efficient lamps, do you think I can suppress those intertwined forces?" If it weren't for the old man sent by the master and his old man to Jinlingwei, let alone me, even the great gentleman would not have been able to take on this task."
Ji Ning nodded, and said like a little adult: "Then I'll rest assured, but speaking of which, Jin Lingwei doesn't necessarily just protect me, right?" Didn't his old man also leave the pavilion. Haha"
Xiang Xiaomo looked at Zai Ning speechlessly and gritted his teeth and said, "I thank Brother Zai for your understanding," he pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "Room No. 2, go!" ”
Jian Ning looked at the house guarded by the Jinling guard, sighed, and turned to leave with his hands behind his back.
Xiang Xiaomo watched Jian Ning return to the house, but also sighed lightly. For some reason, when I get along with Zai Ning, I always have a feeling that everything is being spied on. Even some unknown matters, the child said them casually as if he knew them in advance.
She went back to her house, turned around and closed the door, turned around and almost screamed, it turned out that behind the round table in the living room, an old man appeared at some point, sitting in the middle.
Xiang Xiaomo calmed down and bowed down: "Master! ”
The old man said lightly: "Get up... I went out to run errands with Chang'an today, nothing went wrong, right? Chang'an's later life in Yunzhou College is considered reliable. It is also old with robbery. Do you listen to us? ”
Xiang Xiaomo nodded, and then said: "But also with us for three chapters, and we are specially requested not to use the robbery as a bargaining chip!" ”
"Robbery? Haha, it seems that he still underestimated that little guy."
Xiang Xiaomo frowned and asked, "Are we worth it?" If it is said that the masters of the Mo family's organs, even the cadres of the Qianzi generation, are willing to die for us, what is the difference between robbing the seal? ”
The old man pondered for a long time but did not answer Xiang Xiaomo's question, but asked, "What do you think of that little guy who asked you to leave me as soon as possible?" ”
Xiang Xiaomo didn't know why the old man in front of her asked this, remembering what Ji Ning said to her in the wine shop at the time, she thought about it and said, "It's just a child's complaining words, I don't take it to heart." And I was taught by you, a teacher for one day and a father for life. I don't dare to have the idea of leaving."
The old man stared at Xiang Xiaomo for a long time before saying, "It's rare that you have such an idea, I'm very pleased." Be careful on the way, I'm waiting for you to come back in Jingshi. ”
Xiang Xiaomo nodded, but when he looked up, he found that the old man had disappeared at some point. She tentatively shouted, "Master? ”
There was no response in the small living room, and she sat down gently, her waist curvaceous. I just think that today's master is a little different.
When he returned to the house, he glanced at the two Jinling guards as if unintentionally, and found that they both had strong crossbows on their bodies, and he snorted secretly in his heart!
Closing the door of the house, Ning Ning looked around, carefully checking for any Mo family visiting organs. Finally, after checking it out, he lay on the bed, gently blew out the candle on the table, and looked through the window at the bright moon.
I don't know how long it took, the outside of the house gradually quieted, and there were lanterns illuminated every other section of the corridor, and Jian Ning could clearly see the figure of Jin Lingwei printed on the window frame. He took out a cloth bag from his chest, took out a white porcelain vase from his bag, and smiled slightly.
