For three days in a row, Ning Chen was doing laundry in the backyard of Lingyan Pavilion. He had never been to the front hall. Except for Li Er who came to talk to him from time to time, the rest of the people rarely came to the backyard.
The luxury of the front hall and the desertion of the backyard will form a sharp contrast when night falls. The moment the lanterns are first turned on, Lingyan Pavilion will show its extremely prosperous side.
At this time, the backyard is the quietest. Ning Chen likes to look at the stars. He always feels that there is a star in the sky that is his home. Although he can't find it yet, he will always find it.
He wondered in his heart, where did he come to, if it was not the original earth, why could he still see a vision like Yinghuo Shouxin that should only be seen on earth.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Ning Chen's eyes were confused, and his heart was even more confused. Yunyun starlight, a bright moon, how could he not see the most familiar blue memory.
Tired of looking, tired of counting, Ning Chen moved his eyes to the moon in the sky, carefully discerning, the moon in this world is indeed different from the previous life, with a faint red color, it looks like it is covered with a layer of blood mist. , illusory and somewhat unreal.
I heard that the world was created by gods, and the moon in the sky was transformed by the ancient gods of creation. The Eternal Night Sect believes in the only god in this legend, and has always believed that the gods will come again one day.
Ning Chen didn't like this legend. If the gods really existed, what was the belief he believed in in his previous life
Gods are more valuable if they live in legends, there is no need for gods in the world.
The mental method that Mu Chengxue gave him did not go well. There were too many things that he couldn't understand. He practiced the parts that he could understand for a few days, but he didn't feel any effect. will appear.
Sure enough, on the fourth day, he could actually feel a wisp of air flow in his body along the veins, and each time he ran it, the air flow would increase slightly.
Ning Chen's joy was broken, he was indeed a peerless genius that he had not met in 180 years.
It's just that he didn't know that True Essence needed moves to function. It was recorded on the golden paper, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.
And Mu Chengxue's original intention was to strengthen his body, so even if he knew that he probably couldn't understand anything except the first few lines, he didn't mean to teach him.
Ning Chen didn't care, it wasn't that he was open-minded, but that he didn't know about it at all. Anyway, he knew that his practice was effective.
In this way, working during the day and cultivating at night, after nearly half a month of tossing, Ning Chen was happy and quiet, but he didn't know that something big had already happened outside.
Li'er still came over to fight him every day as usual, but unfortunately faced with Ning Chen's vicious tongue every time, it was a complete defeat without a doubt. He happily ran back to the front hall.
Ning Chen didn't even know how many teeth marks there were on his arm, but every time he didn't have a long memory, just a few words made the little girl's teeth itch with anger. Bickering between the two has become a common occurrence. No matter how hard they were angry the day before, they couldn't stop Li'er's enthusiasm for running to the back hall. Once, when he talked about the big news that was rumored outside, Ning Chen was stunned for a while, but in the end he Forget it, he
Come, these things have nothing to do with him, let the eldest grandson and the others have a headache.
But after two days, Ning Chen discovered something that really gave him a headache.
His only shoe was scrapped...
When he was running, he brought a change of clothes but forgot to bring his shoes. After holding on for so long, he finally made a heroic sacrifice. This time he couldn't think of going out.
However, he has no money!
The shopkeeper paid back Yue Hanyi before he gave him, but now he has no money, let alone buying shoes, even insoles.
Taking advantage of nothing else in the morning, Ning Chen went to the front hall, looked left and right, looking for Yue Hanyi's figure.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Li'er saw Ning Chen coming early in the morning, and asked fiercely.
"I need wages," Ning Chen said confidently. He had worked for so many days, so he couldn't give him a single penny.
Li'er looked at Ning Chen as if she had discovered a new world, and did not dare to say, "You are so embarrassed to ask for wages"
"Haha" Ning Chen smiled with a guilty conscience, and he knew that he was in the wrong, but he didn't need wages. He simply sewed the shoes, but he couldn't last for a few days.
"Sister Yi is not here, you'd better wait for her to come back." Li'er was defeated by Ning Chen's thick skin.
"Nan Li'er, lend me some money first, I need it urgently"
Ning Chen struggled in his heart for a moment, but finally opened his mouth rather embarrassedly. It was a shame, he actually fell into borrowing money from a little girl.
"Why?" Li'er was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the former suspiciously, like preventing a liar.
Looking at Li'er's eyes, Ning Chen felt that his personality was insulted, and said angrily, "What kind of eyes are you looking at, you are just borrowing money to buy a pair of shoes, do I look like the kind of person who doesn't pay back the money!"
Li'er looked down at Ning Chen's shoes, thought for a while, and said, "Are you going out to buy shoes?"
"En." Ning Chen nodded vigorously.
"Wait a minute"
After the words fell, Li'er trotted to her room, took the silver, and explained it to a few women dressed as maids, and then walked back.
"Okay, let's go"
"You too?" Ning Chen asked curiously.
Li'er glanced at the former with contempt, and said, "You owe one hundred taels of silver. You are going to run away. How can I explain when Sister Yi comes back?"
"..." Ning Chen was speechless, does he look like that kind of person? looks like!
The location of Lingyan Pavilion was the most prosperous part of the imperial city, Ning Chen was dazzled, Li'er followed behind, staring at him cautiously, for fear that he would run away.
"Li'er, as I said, I won't run"
Ning Chen stopped, turned around and reluctantly repeated it again, he didn't know how many times he had said this sentence, but Li'er just didn't believe it.
"That's not certain." Li'er didn't believe Ning Chen's words at all. One hundred taels of silver was enough to buy several of her.
The little girl didn't believe it, and Ning Chen didn't do anything, just let her follow behind.
After walking for a long time, Ning Chen's body suddenly froze, and his expression froze, as if he had seen a ghost.
Li'er didn't expect Ning Chen to stop suddenly, and bumped into it carelessly, and immediately covered her red forehead in pain, her face was full of anger: "What are you doing?"
"Don't talk." Ning Chen regained his senses, and quickly covered the little girl's mouth, half-pulling and dragging her to the side of the fortune-telling booth to block her body.
With the help of the fortune teller's cloth card, Ning Chen carefully looked ahead, not daring to take a breath, how could she be here
"Woo" aside, Li'er was covering her mouth and nose, her breathing was not smooth, and her face blushed and struggled.
When Ning Chen saw it, he quickly let go, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he almost forgot about the little girl.
"You want to suffocate me!" Li'er gasped for a few breaths, her heart was very angry, she stretched out her hand and hammered the former, angrily.
"Shhh, keep your voice down." Ning Chen shushes with a finger on his mouth, glancing at the shadow not far in front of him with a guilty conscience, praying in his heart not to be discovered.
"What's the matter?" Li'er was attracted by Ning Chen's gaze, she followed, but she didn't find anything strange.
"The Enemy Hunt"
Ning Chen casually flicked a word, but it was almost the same, if he was caught back, he would lose his skin even if he didn't die.
"Do you want to fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling?" At this moment, the middle-aged Xiangshi at the booth asked.
"I have no money"
Ning Chen refused without hesitation, fooling him? Don't even think about it!
"I can calculate a fortune for the son for free." The middle-aged Xiang Shi smiled slightly and said indifferently.
Ning Chen ignored him and continued to observe the enemy's situation, why didn't this aunt leave? Isn't it true that the eldest grandson specially sent him to arrest him
"Young Master is hiding from someone?" The middle-aged Xiang Shi smiled.
"Bullshit" Ning Chen replied with contempt, it's still worth it, even the blind can see it.
"Woman," the middle-aged Xiangshi added.
"En" Ning Chen was still unmoved, there are only men and women in this world, either men or women, it's not unusual to be right.
"In the palace," the middle-aged Xiangshi continued.
"En, um?" Ning Chen responded first, then froze for a moment, and looked at the big flicker in front of him in surprise. He was a bit skilled, so he could be right.
"Young Master, is what you said below correct?" The middle-aged Xiangshi asked with a soft smile.
"Haha" Ning Chen smiled perfunctorily, with an air of arrogance. After being confronted twice, he thought he was an iron man. I X, this sign is really an iron man.
The middle-aged minister saw that Ning Chen still didn't believe it, and continued, "Young Master, I am sorry to say bluntly, fate sometimes has to be there, and there is no time to force it. The cause and effect are determined by the heavens, and it is not something that you can hide when you want to hide."
After waiting for a while, Ning Chen saw Qian Ying not far away finally leaving, he was relieved, glanced at the xiangshi, pointed to his nose and said, "Calculate who I am."
The middle-aged minister was startled, and said, "Listen to the son's accent, it should be from the capital."
"Fart, I'm an earth man"
When the words fell, Ning Chen pulled Li'er and hurriedly flashed, this place couldn't stay, it would be miserable if caught.
Li'er was confused by the conversation between the two, and she still hasn't reacted. Seeing Ning Chen walking back, she asked subconsciously, "Why did you go back, didn't you buy shoes?"
"Don't buy it, your life is at stake" Ning Chen replied nervously.
"Oh" Li'er didn't know what was going on, but seeing the nervousness of the former, she still followed her back obediently.
When he walked to Lingyan Pavilion, Ning Chen looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he took Li'er two steps and ran in. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was dangerous, but luckily he had good eyesight.
"I'm tired, let's have a cup of tea"
In a soft and moving voice, a cup of tea was handed in front of him, Ning Chen's mouth was dry, he didn't even think about it, he took it and drank it, and by the way, thanked:
"thanks"
"puff"
In the entrance of the tea, Ning Chen suddenly spewed out a mouthful, turned around tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Qing...
"Is there a good place to hide, let me find it for a while"
Qing Ning responded lightly, there was no anger and anger on her beautiful face, but Ning Chen was still scared and didn't dare to breathe.
Ning Chen remembered very clearly that when he ran away, he tied up the limes and offended the aunt. This time, he was doomed.
My mind turned and turned, thinking about how to get out, but when I thought of Lime's skills, I dispelled these thoughts of courting death.
"Okay, it's enough to play after so many days, it's time to go back with me." With unquestionable words, Qing Ning glanced at Ning Chen, and the warning in his eyes was obvious. If you don't obey, don't blame her for being rude .
Ning Chen shivered in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Is the maiden angry?"
"What do you think?" Lime laughed angrily, and the guy was too embarrassed to ask.
When Ning Chen heard this, his head immediately shook like a rattle, "If I don't go back, the goddess will chop my head off."
"Now you know you're afraid." Lime wanted to slap this kid to death, falsely pass on the empress's decree, steal the palace utensils, escape from the palace privately, all of which are the death penalty of beheading, this guy is good, let's go The children are complete.
"I know." Ning Chen hurriedly nodded. Seeing Ning Chen's nervous appearance, Qing Ning didn't want to scare him, and said in a slightly softer voice, "You go back with me first, Niangniang has already put things down, just to save your life, after you go back, follow Niangniang well. Admit your mistake, as for how to deal with it, it depends on the mood of the empress."
