The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Chapter 540 Do you like her?
Besides his senior brother, Ning Bao's closest and most familiar people in Beijing were his parents and Shen Muyang and his mother.
When her parents and grandparents come to live in the newly bought house, she will feel much more at ease knowing that they are all neighbors.
After all, Mu Dachang and his group were unfamiliar with the capital, so it would be best if they stayed closer to each other.
After arranging for Xue Junshan and his party to stay, Shen Muyang and Ning Bao returned to their respective residences.
The involvement between the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Xue Junshan, and Shen Mu and his mother was neither publicized nor deliberately concealed.
The next morning, Ning Bao came to Xue Junshan's place and left him a lot of food and supplies.
Ning Bao had only bought the house a few days ago and hadn't had time to properly tidy it up. She just cleaned a few rooms in the front yard for Xue Junshan and the others to stay in.
This morning, Ning Bao received a letter from Mu Cheng'an's gyrfalcon, saying that he and Liu Qingru would arrive in the capital in about two days.
Because Mu Cheng'an and his group were on their way, their exact location was uncertain, so they couldn't send him a message.
Ning Bao simply instructed Leng Xue and the others to pick up the people at the city gate.
Ning Bao hurriedly ate breakfast, told her family what was going on, and then took Leng Bing to Baijiazhuang outside the city.
This time, Ning Bao only brought Leng Bing with her, leaving Leng Shuang behind to protect Xue Junshan.
Watching Ning Bao leave again, Su Jingshu couldn't help but sigh.
"This child is never still, always busy..."
Seeing that your wife was in a bad mood, Zhou Chengxing quickly and solicitously comforted her.
"Our daughter is so capable. What other family has a daughter this age who is as competent as our daughter?"
"To be honest, I don't want Ningbao to be capable at all. Children from families like ours don't need to work so hard."
Boys are expected to bring honor to their family and make a name for themselves, but girls, especially those like Ningbao who have older brothers, don't need to work so hard at all.
All you need to do every day is enjoy life to the fullest, be beautiful and happy.
But look at our Ningbao, both the Mu family and our family spoil her, so she can be completely arrogant and domineering.
But my Ningbao isn't like that. She's just too sensible. Ever since I met her when she was a little over four years old, I've felt that she's too sensible.
She had to worry about everything, big and small, both at home and outside. At the time, I thought to myself, if she were my daughter, I would never let her worry about me like that.
Su Jingshu paused here,
"My husband, you don't know, but I actually had some issues with Yuzhen and Muchunping back then."
They are still young and Ningbao is their only daughter, yet Ningbao, a child, has to worry about everything the family needs, including food, drink, and clothing.
When they encountered them on their journey to escape famine, it was during a heavy snowfall. The weather was so cold that Ningbao was asked to go with them to find water and go hunting.
I was cursing them in my mind at the time.
But as I got to know her better, I realized that it wasn't that the Mu family disliked Ningbao, nor that they didn't care about her; it was just that Ningbao was too capable.
The saying "the capable should do more" is most evident in Ning Bao.
Later, I thought that if Ningbao were my daughter, I would definitely not let her worry about so much.
But when I finally recognized Ningbao, I found that she was even busier than before.
Because before, she only needed to worry about her relatives in the Mu family.
But now she has to worry about our whole family. In order to find a good home for her father-in-law, she went to the underworld to talk to her mother-in-law and negotiate with the King of Hell.
They even came with us to the Northern Desert, worrying about you, about the Mingcheng brothers, and about the people of the Northern Desert.
I truly feel sorry for her. Sometimes, my husband, I wonder if our daughter is some kind of deity descended to earth to help us alleviate human suffering?
Zhou Chengxing gently put his arm around Su Jingshu's shoulder.
"Don't think about it so much."
We thought Ningbao was tired, but we never thought she might enjoy it.
