Chapter 38: The Annunciation
Walking to a lantern sales place, Ning Xihan selected lanterns for Jiang Qingcheng, but he didn't know that Yan Fu had been standing behind him for a long time.
"Allure, don't you think this lantern is cute? It's the shape of a little doll, very similar to you, with a red little face, as cute as an apple. Ning Xihan held up a red lantern in the shape of a doll and recommended it to Jiang Qingcheng.
Jiang Tingcheng raised her little head, looked at the red lantern and said, "This lantern is so cute, can you buy it for me?" Brother Xihan. ”
Ning Xihan immediately took out the money bag in his arms, paid the boss, and gave the red lantern to Jiang Qingcheng.
They turned around and were about to go home, when Ning Xihan suddenly found that Yan Fu had been standing there for a long time not far away, waiting for him.
He did not shy away from greeting Yan Fu in front of Jiang Tingcheng and said, "Yan Fu, you have been standing there for so long, why don't you come and tell me." ”
Yan Fu said: "Seeing that you are having fun, I didn't come." ”
Ning Xihan thought of so many people around him at this time, and in order not to reveal his demon identity, he used magic sounds and words to talk.
Ning Xihan looked at Yan Fu and said in his mind with a magic voice: "Yan Fu, you immediately go to the capital to inquire about the news of Jiang Weiguo's county order. ”
Yan Fu also used his magic voice to convey Ning Xihan's soul consciousness and responded: "I don't know Jiang Weiguo's county order, how do I know which one is him?" ”
Ning Xihan used magic power to mobilize the memory in his mind, and projected Jiang Weiguo's appearance in his memory into the soul consciousness of Yan Fu, so that Yan Fu could see Jiang Weiguo's appearance clearly.
Yan Fu immediately understood, so he opened his mouth and said to Ning Xihan: "Okay, you guys go back, I'm also out for a walk, and it's time to go home." ”
The two parted ways like this. On the way home, Jiang Tingcheng asked Ning Xihan: "Who was that big brother just now?" You two look very familiar. ”
Ning Xihan smiled silently. Back in the north house, Ning Xihan went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Ning Xihan was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a loud magic sound in his mind.
It was the magic voice that the words came to him.
"Ning Xihan, I have already found Jiang County's order. He is now resting in an inn in the capital, and has not yet made a pilgrimage. ”
"Good." Ning Xihan replied in a magic voice, "You continue to follow Jiang Xian Ling until after he goes to the palace to worship the Holy Lord." ”
"Then tell me everything about him before the Holy One. I want to know the latest situation of Jiang Weiguo. After all, I'm lurking in his house, and I'm the first to grasp the timing of any changes. ”
Ning Xihan did not forget to explain.
This night, Ning Xihan slept very unsteadily. He tossed and turned, worried about Jiang Weiguo, not only because he was lurking in the Jiang Mansion, but also because Jiang Weiguo was Jiang Qingcheng's biological father.
When the sky was bright, Ning Xihan got up.
He ran to the nearby hillside and sat in the gazebo until the sun rose.
The transmitter on his wrist vibrated suddenly.
Ning Xihan hurriedly turned the transmitter, and a demonic sound was projected from the transmitter into his soul consciousness, which was the voice of the words.
"Lord Ning, I already know why Jiang Weiguo was summoned to the palace. He went to court early this morning, and the emperor immediately announced that he was the county guard of Yuwei County. The district covers a wide area, including the towns of Clearwater, Penang, and five surrounding townships. ”
"You're doing well, you can go back to the Imperial Water Treasure House." Ning Xihan said into the transmitter.
With a bottom in his heart, Ning Xihan finally stretched out with relief and prepared to go back to make up for sleep.
As soon as he returned to Jiang's mansion, Ning Xihan saw Jiang Tingcheng running out of the courtyard in a panic.
Ning Xihan asked with a smile: "Jiang Qingcheng, what are you doing?" ”
Jiang Tingcheng said in a hurried voice: "I just heard a news that my father has been promoted!" ”
"Oh, who did you listen to such good news?" Ning Xihan asked.
"It's Lord Zhao's news, and Zhao Qin just came to tell me this morning."
Ning Xihan thought to himself, Zhao Qin is quite well-informed.
He couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and suddenly lifted Jiang Qingcheng high and spun in place.
Jiang Chengcheng was amused by Ning Xihan's actions.
At this time, Liu Yuhua walked out of the inner room and saw the two of them frolicking.
Liu Yuhua said: "You two be quiet, your younger brother Jianing is still asleep." ”
Jiang Tingcheng did not shy away from shouting at his mother: "Daddy is promoted, mother, aren't you happy?" ”
"What! Your dad was promoted, how do you know? Who told you that? Liu Yuhua couldn't believe his ears and asked.
"It was Zhao Qin who told me, Lord Zhao got the news early in the morning, and Zhao Qin immediately ran over to tell me." Jiang Tingcheng danced happily and replied.
Ning Xihan was also very happy in his heart, although he was not the first to tell Jiang Qingcheng the good news, he was also sincerely happy for her and his father-in-law.
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big happy event earlier? You've known for so long, and I'm worried about it. Liu Yuhua helped his forehead, wiped a handful of cold sweat, and said.
"Okay, my lord estimates that he will be back in the next two days. When the time comes, we're going to have a big party and invite friends and family to come and celebrate. Liu Yuhua was so happy that she ran into the inner room and closed the door of the inner room lightly.
Ning Xihan hugged Jiang Chengcheng and said, "Allure, such a big happy event today." Let's go, my brother will take you to open a small stove! ”
Jiang Qingcheng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into two small slits.
She hugged Ning Xihan's neck and kissed Ning Xihan gently on the cheek.
Ning Xihan instantly blushed, and he said: "Allure, don't mess around, you haven't grown up yet, and I haven't proposed marriage yet." Let's take our time. ”
Jiang Tingcheng didn't understand this, she only thought that her father was promoted, and Brother Ning Xihan was happy for him, and she wanted to thank Brother Ning Xihan well.
Ning Xihan saw Jiang Tingcheng's ignorant appearance, so he didn't say any more, but slowly put Jiang Tingcheng on the ground, took her hand, and said, "Chengcheng, I'll take you to breakfast." We won't eat at the house today, I'll take you to the market to eat something delicious. ”
"Okay, Brother Xihan, I want to eat small wontons."
"Let's go, I'll invite you to eat a few wontons, just a few bowls."
The two walked out of the Jiang Mansion hand in hand.
Liu Yuhua couldn't bear the joy in the inner room. She coaxed Jiang Jianing softly, patted Jiang Jianing's back, and said with a smile: "Jiang Jianing, my little son, do you know? Your father has been promoted, and our family is going to shine on the lintel again! ”
Liu Yuhua thought that Zhao Tingshi would let his son Zhao Qin come over to report the good news as soon as possible, and what kind of blessings the Jiang family would have in the future, they would have to take care of Zhao Tingshi's friendship.
The sun shone all over the corners of the courtyard, as if at this moment, all the uneasiness and bad luck were swept away.
Zhao Qin had not returned to the Zhao Mansion at this time. He was wandering around the bazaar when he suddenly saw a familiar tall figure in the distance, leading a little girl in a bright yellow dress, gradually approaching him.
Zhao Qin rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the two familiar figures in front of him, and suddenly found that it was Ning Xihan and Jiang Chengcheng. So instead of rushing home, he ran up to greet them.
