The prime minister walked to Shen Ningning's side.

The little guy immediately shifted his body and gave up the position next to him.

"Uncle, you sit with me~"

The prime minister shook his head with a smile, he squatted down and looked at the little guy: "Ning Ning, Uncle has something important and is going to leave the capital for a while." ”

Shen Ningning's watery black eyes suddenly felt a trace of sadness.

She doesn't like separation.

But the little guy was very sensible, and immediately cheered up, and asked Nuonuo, "How long will Uncle go?" ”

"One month if it's fast, two months if it's slow." After the prime minister finished speaking, he said: "When I am not there, if Ning Ning is bullied, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me, and someone will help you." ”

Shen Ningning puffed out his cheeks and smiled sweetly: "Brother will protect me, uncle, you don't have to worry." ”

The prime minister held her little hand and looked at her appearance repeatedly, as if he wanted to engrave it in his heart.

I can't get enough of it.

Shen Ningning's face, and his daughter's little face when she was in swaddling clothes, in a trance, the prime minister felt that there was some overlap.

He was almost certain that Shen Ningning was his daughter, but he didn't have any tokens to corroborate it.

Therefore, it is necessary to meet his wife's dowry maid first, and she is the last person to see his daughter, so that he can be sure.

"Ning Ning, you don't know your uncle's name yet, do you? I'll teach you now. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the little one and placed it on his lap.

Then, with his fingers dipped in some tea, he wrote on the table—

Xie Suzhi.

Seeing this, Shen Ningning hurriedly said, "Uncle Xie, I remember!" ”

Prime Minister Xie nodded slowly, and he stood up: "Ning Ning, Uncle will write to you, at the latest, this winter, I will definitely come back to see you." ”

With that, he turned away with the man.

But after walking a distance, Xie Suzhi couldn't help but look back.

I saw the street where people came and went, and Shen Ningning's lonely little figure was sitting there, with a big bowl of wontons beside her, still steaming.

And the little guy's bright eyes kept looking at him.

There was reluctance in that, but seeing Xie Suzhi looking back, Shen Ningning puffed up his little face again and waved his little hand at him.

Xie Suzhi's eyes were hot, and he turned his head away, never daring to look back.

After getting into the carriage, the six guards opened the way and galloped all the way to the west.

On the road.

The henchman asked: "Do you want to leave a message to the emperor?" ”

Xie Suzhi rubbed his eyebrows: "The emperor knows that I have been looking for my daughter all these years, and if I send a flying pigeon back, he will understand." ”

"Yes," the henchman said tentatively when he saw his sad face, "My lord, do you have concerns?" ”

Xie Suzhi raised his head, and his cold eyebrows and eyes showed a faint confusion.

"Ah Zhong, do you say that in this world, is there really such a thing as blood kinship? When I saw Shen Ningning, there was a voice in my heart that told me that this was my daughter. ”

The henchman was silent for a moment: "Maybe it's because the county lord of Funing, like his wife, is surnamed Shen, so it makes the adults feel cordial." ”

Xie Suzhi's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he was a little more puzzled.

"Xinniang once joked that she wanted her child to have her surname, but her daughter was still in infancy when she was lost, even if Shen Ningning was really her, how could she know that her surname was Shen?"

"I forgot to ask who gave her this name."

The henchman nodded: "Maybe it's a coincidence, when the adults see the wife's dowry, everything will be revealed." ”

That was the last person who had come into contact with his daughter, so she must have known what was on her when she lost it.

After Xie Suzhi left, Shen Ningning divided his wontons into three parts.

One was added to Chen Shaobei's bowl, another was given to himself, and the rest was blown and eaten by the Black Wolf King.

On the way home, Shen Ningning rode the Black Wolf King, causing a lot of commotion on the street.

Many bold people approached one after another, shook hands with Shen Ningning and talked, and some even bought gifts for the little guy and the Black Wolf King.

In the end, it was Chen Shaobei who asked the soldiers to open the way to escort them, and they successfully left the blocked street.

Walking on the mountain road home, the bright full moon illuminates the road.

Shen Ningning sat on the wolf's back and shook his little feet, carrying a basket of gifts in his hand.

There are many mooncakes, pastries, silver and handkerchiefs given by people.

Chen Shaobei rode a horse to follow, and couldn't help but say: "Little girl Shen is really popular. ”

When the little guy heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and covered his mouth with his little hand: "I should have taken the opportunity to promote my tea shed just now, oops, I wasted such a good opportunity." ”

However, he thought about it and said: "Forget it, Shui Tian is not afraid of deep alleys, everyone will always find it." ”

Chen Shaobei was surprised by her business acumen and laughed.

Shen Ningning hugged the Black Wolf King's ears and whispered.

"Wolf, I'll tell you a secret."

"Huh?"

"I think if I had a father, it would be Uncle Xie!"

"Humph!" The Black Wolf King let out a snort of disdain from the tip of his nose.

The little one hurriedly touched its head flatteringly, and followed the wolf's hair.

Xiaozui spoke sweetly: "Of course, Uncle Xie is not as good and caring as the wolf!" ”

Only then did the Black Wolf King raise his proud head.

Shen Ningning leaned on it and said, "I just think that Daddy should be like that." ”

"We have met many elders just now and expressed their affection for us, but none of them have given me a cordial feeling like Uncle Xie."

"Wolf wolf, you say, Uncle Xie will really write to me? Wouldn't he be a tease for kids? ”

The Black Wolf King whimpered patiently.

It said that if Xie Suzhi was a liar, the next time he returned to Beijing to see him, it would help bite his ass!

The amused Shen Ningning kicked her little feet, giggling like a silver bell with laughter.

Chen Shaobei couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about, smiling so happily?" ”

"Hmm, we're talking about Uncle Xie, Brother Chen Shaobei, are you familiar with him?"

"Prime Minister Xie? Not very familiar, he is usually not easy to approach. Chen Shaobei replied truthfully.

It's not just that it's not easy to approach, the court jokingly called Xie Suzhi a cold-faced minister, an iron-blooded prime minister who is not close to people.

"It's just that I heard that there was an accident in his family before, so he was seriously ill, and now his health is not very good, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, but the emperor trusts him a lot, so on important occasions, Prime Minister Xie will be seen."

Shen Ningning blinked his eyes widely: "Change? ”

Chen Shaobei nodded: "It seems that someone in his family has passed away, I don't know the specifics, it was all a few years ago." ”

Shen Ningning suddenly realized.

No wonder Uncle Xie said that she was like an old friend of his.

Perhaps, is it his family horn?

……

Time flickered, and half a month passed.

Unexpectedly, it was already the beginning of September, and the weather was as hot as a scorching heat!

The previous rains were short-lived, and the people couldn't last long.

Recently, the emperor has received reports of water shortages from all over the Cangyun Kingdom, and sixteen large counties.

If this continues, the altar will be opened again to ask for rain.

Shen Ningning's tea stall business is good, and in just half a month, he has earned back all the capital invested.

Most of the guests who came to buy were people who were curious about the wolf king, and some came for the title of Funing County Lord.

Ren Yu is a guest again.

She asked for a glass of chilled sweet pear water, and Shen Ningning sat and chatted with her.

mentioned Qin Fangmei, Ren Yu said with a smile: "The Wang family doesn't recognize her, and the emperor has issued another order to give death, and she was beheaded at the noon gate yesterday!" ”
