Xu Qianqian was startled by Jiang Yan's eyes, and her mind became a little clearer. Soon, she became angry again because Jiang Yan treated Xu Ning differently from her, and her face became even more distorted.

Jiang Yan's voice was very soft, and Xu Ning only heard him calling Jiang Yi.

"Aning, are you okay?" Jiang Yan waited until Xu Ning stood firmly before letting go of his hand.

"Thank you, I'm fine, my feet are just a little slippery." Xu Ning smiled awkwardly, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have been rescued several times, and each time he couldn't stand firmly, which was really embarrassing.

"Don't stand there, it's so cold outside, come in!" But after entering the house, the Xu family suddenly realized that there was no extra room for Jiang Yan to live in.

No one realized that Jiang Yan would come over before the New Year, and for a while, while others were drinking tea, they exchanged glances frantically.

Xu Ning: Mom comes and sleeps in the same room with us. Grandpa and grandma stay the same. Dad and my older brother and younger brother sleep in the same room.

Old Mrs. Xu: I think it’s feasible. The kang is big enough. Not only can it accommodate three people, it can also accommodate four people.

Xu Da and his two sons just stared at each other for a while, and everything was arranged for them. What else could they say? They had to listen to the head of the family.

As for the servants, it was easy to arrange them. Let Jiang Yi and Shisan and Shisi live in the same room, and the other coachmen can live with the original coachmen.

After all, the masters live in a crowded place, so the servants can't think about anything else.

After exchanging glances, the Xu family members stood up and started to prepare in an orderly manner.

Old Lady Xu looked at Jiang Yan lovingly and said with concern, "Ayan, it's getting colder! You shouldn't rush to leave tonight. I've already asked someone to prepare a clean, warm room for you. If you're not in a hurry to leave, you might as well stay here for a few days. It's almost the New Year, and it's snowing heavily outside. The roads are hard to travel on. I'd like to save you the hardship of traveling all the way."

A Yan quickly stood up, bowed respectfully to Grandma Xu, and replied gratefully, "Thank you for your concern and kindness, Grandma Xu. To be honest, I do have some urgent matters to deal with at the border, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing for the New Year this year. So I can only shamelessly stay in your house for a few more days. I hope you won't mind."

Hearing this, Grandma Xu smiled and waved her hand, scolding: "Hey kid, why are you so polite to Grandma? Come to think of it, Ayan, you've never spent the New Year at our house before. Now that you can come, it would be great if our family could get together and have a lively time! As long as you feel comfortable and at ease living here, you can stay as long as you want!"

Xu Ning and Xu Feng, who had nothing to do, were eating melon seeds out of boredom. When they heard the last sentence, they stopped. Their grandma must have been so happy. Jiang Yan is so busy, how could she have so much time to spend with you, old man?

Both the brother and sister thought that Jiang Yan was just being polite, but they didn't expect that Jiang Yan actually stayed at the Xu family until the last day the Xu family left.

"Ayan, why didn't Jiang Er come with you this time?"

"He is handling affairs in the capital." Even if he is not in the capital, one of Jiang Yi and Jiang Er must be there.

Old Mrs. Xu understood this, but she felt a little regretful.

"When you pass by the capital after the New Year, you can go see him." Jiang Yan also wanted to know when the Xu family would leave the North City. A few days ago, he stopped the barbarians from going south with explosives. After the New Year, the barbarians would probably come again.

This time they are on guard against explosives and probably won't be able to stop them.

The weather is extremely cold, and the enemy is familiar with the terrain and has thick skin and tough muscles, so they are likely to adopt a dispersed strategy. At that time, the power of the explosives cannot be maximized, and it is easy for some fish to slip through the net.

The reason he stayed in the Xu family was to protect the Xu family.

Even though he only brought three people, there were three thousand soldiers lying in ambush in the mountains outside Xujia Village.

"Bao, why do I hear Jiang Shaoheng saying that our family has to leave quickly after the New Year?"

Xu Ning started chatting with Baibaoxiang. She looked around and found that only Xu Feng didn't understand the hidden meaning of Jiang Yan's words, while everyone else understood.

"Yes, player. The barbarian was badly injured by Jiang Yan using explosives. Now those tribes have sent people to capture him and threaten him."

"Arrest someone? Arrest who?" Without hearing Baibaoxiang's answer, Xu Ning thought of the answer: "Arrest us?"

"Yes. Player."

"Why do those people know that I provided the explosives? Or is there a traitor around Jiang Yan?"

"There are traitors. They know that the Xu family and Jiang Yan have a good relationship. They also know that you and Jiang Yan cooperated on the Happy Valley project. As for the fact that you provided the explosives, they don't know."

"So, isn't the Pei family in the capital even more unsafe? And what about those Pei disciples in the army?"

"Player, the other party hasn't considered the Pei family."

"Why?" After asking Xu Ning, he knew that the other party was picking on the weak.

"No wonder Jiang Yannian wanted to come to our house. He knew the news in advance, right? He has people over there too?"

"Yes, player."

"Xiaofeng will be unhappy." Sure enough, the next second Old Lady Xu forbade him to run out again.

Xu Ning was a bit of a homebody, after all, she had run around enough in the past two years. Xu Feng finally came out to play, and when he heard that he couldn't run around, he was completely upset.

"Why, I have an appointment with Uncle Xiaohu to go roe deer hunting in the mountains tomorrow!"

"You are not allowed to go. I will ask your father to tell Xiaohu that during this period, not only you, but everyone else must stay at home and not run around."

"How are they the same?" Xu Feng became anxious.

"If you dare to run, I will break your legs and carry you back to Haicheng after the New Year." Seeing that Old Lady Xu looked serious and not joking at all, Xu Feng's sky fell.

Everyone can stay in this house except him.

But he also didn't dare to disobey Old Lady Xu. If he dared to disobey, it would not be as simple as breaking his legs.

That's a mixed beating by the whole family, and they'll beat you until you have no resentment left.

"Second sister, it gets dark so early today." Xu Feng said to Xu Ning with tears in his eyes. Xu Ning sprayed a mouthful of melon seed shells on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xu Ning slapped the melon seed shells away, rubbed his face that was about to cry, and comforted him repeatedly, "It's okay, ha, tomorrow, oh no, starting in the afternoon, we will play cards together, and Second Sister will definitely let you go!"

"Really?" Xu Feng sniffed.

"Really, more real than pearls. Second sister will let you win a few more rounds."

"Second sister, you are so kind."

"Of course not."

In the afternoon, Xu Feng, who had actually won two games at the beginning, grinned like a monkey. After an incense stick of time, the Xu family sat in a row and watched the game of monkey chasing monkey!

"Xu Ning! If I believe you again, I will be a dog!" Xu Feng chased Xu Ning all the way. Xu Ning jumped up and down and was sweating.

"I did what I said. Didn't I let you have two moves?"

"Bullshit, stop right there and give me back my money!"

"Hey! That won't do. You have to accept the loss. You can't afford to lose!" Xu Ning dodged here and there, and finally hid in the crowd, leading everyone to move together.

Xu Feng couldn't catch the slippery Xu Ning at all. He felt angry and wronged, and lay on the chair and burst into tears.
