"You can take it with you, but I don't have the money for the bracelet."
"You make it sound like you will give it to me." Huo Jincheng gave Yang Jinyu a look of contempt. If it weren't for the fact that they grew up together, he wouldn't even want this friend.
In recent years, Yang Jinyu has taken away countless good things from him. This guy likes to give gifts to others when he gets excited. If he has nothing to give as a gift, he would even take off his underwear and give it to others.
He called out Huo Ye and the others and was about to give him the letter. Jian Ning said, "It's cold at night. Why not let them stay in the clinic for a night? It won't be too late to go back to the county after breakfast tomorrow morning."
Huo Jincheng thought about it and said, "That's fine. Don't expect me to thank you. The clan school and the clinic in your village were established with my money."
Isn't it the prince's money? He just handled it. Besides, money doesn't come for free. Aren't hybrid grain and electricity valuable?
Jane Ning rolled her eyes at him in her heart.
"There are sweet potatoes and charcoal in the kitchen. Go pick some up for yourself. We can eat them when they're cooked by the fire."
Jane paused, then said, "If you want to eat something else, I can make it for you."
She swore she was just being polite, but Huo Jincheng said bluntly, "Do you have any dumplings? The dumplings we had last time were good. If not, make some soup."
Jian Ning secretly cursed himself for being so mean. This guy really didn't treat him as an outsider!
"We don't have any dumplings, so I'll make you a bowl of sweet wine and eggs. Jinyu, Xiaosi, eat before you leave. I'll go and cook."
Yang Jinyu said, "Okay, I'll look after Dabao and take out the needle for him later."
Yang Jinyu was now quite skilled at administering intravenous drips, but most patients in town still resisted injections, preferring herbal remedies. His technique was largely honed on cats and dogs, so much so that the dogs and cats at Puren Hall would dodge him as quickly as they could, fearing they would be pricked if they were slow to run.
Jian Ning and Ding Youtian went to the kitchen, and Huo Ye and Xiao Si followed them to get charcoal and sweet potatoes. Xiao Shi stayed with Da Bao and chatted. He and Da Bao got along quite well. Xiao Shi was a painting enthusiast and could talk endlessly about painting. Da Bao, in turn, was extremely interested in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The more they talked, the more they got along and the more interesting their conversation became.
After Jian Ning cooked the sweet wine eggs and Dabao finished his IV drip, she and Ding Youtian carried Dabao back to the east room. After washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Before going to bed, Jian Ning sent a message to Ma Fuquan, asking him how things were going.
Ma Fuquan: [Luckily, I arrived just in time. That guy was about to escape. Uncle Wei is truly remarkable, his martial arts skills are unparalleled. I didn't even have to make a move, and he completely destroyed his skills. He's currently being held in the town hall. I'll take him to the county hall tomorrow morning.]
Jian Ning: [Okay, tell Uncle Wei that Huo Jincheng and the others are staying at the clinic tonight. When he comes back, let him go straight to the clinic to rest for the night.]
Ding Youtian saw her lying on the bed, looking up at something, and asked, "Are you talking to Brother Ma?"
"Well, it's done. Uncle Wei has already destroyed that man's cultivation. I'm relieved now. Otherwise, I would really be worried that he would come back and hide in the dark to harm us and avenge his master."
Ding Youtian thought it was amazing that she and Ma Fuquan were not in the same place, yet they could communicate with each other like this. He sat up and asked, "If you two were in the south and the north, far apart, could you still communicate with each other like this at any time?"
"Sure." Jian Ning briefly told him about cell phones, computers, cars, etc. He sighed and said, "That's unreasonable. If possible, I really want to go through it with you and see it with my own eyes."
Well, she'd already died, so it was unlikely she could get back in. But Ma Fuquan might be able to. Thinking of this, Jian Ning suddenly remembered the woman in her dream who looked exactly like Tian, and the little girl named Xiaorui. Old Yu seemed quite familiar with them, even calling the woman "sister-in-law." Could it be that Captain Wu was married? Could they be his wife and daughter?
Thinking about it carefully, Jian Ning suddenly realized that Wu Dui was not indifferent to her feelings, but he already had a family and he had to stick to his bottom line. Oh my god, she had almost interfered with Wu Dui's marriage. At one point, she even misunderstood Wu Dui as a scumbag. Knowing that she was not the real Ma Fuquan, he had already slept with Tian Shi so quickly.
Only then did she understand that Wu Dui and Tian Shi were married because Tian Shi and his wife were a copy and paste. Could it be that people truly have past lives? If Ma Fuquan was Wu Dui's past life, then could Duan Xinning's original self also be hers? Had she simply traveled back in time to become her past self?
"What are you thinking about?" Ding Youtian couldn't help but ask when he saw her frowning and silent for a long time, and she didn't seem to be communicating with Ma Fuquan.
Jane Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "If, I mean if, if one day I really wear the same clothes again and disappear from your lives, what will you do?"
Hearing this, Ding Youtian threw off the quilt, jumped out of bed and rushed to her. "No way, didn't you say you were dead over there? How can you wear it back if you're dead? I'm afraid your body over there would have rotted away long ago. No way, it definitely won't happen."
"You're courting death! Be careful not to catch a cold." Without giving it much thought, Jian Ning moved closer to the bed and pulled him onto it. "Dabao isn't well yet, and you're lying down again. Are you trying to tire me to death?"
"Who told you to scare me? I have to keep a close eye on you and not let you leave." He hugged Jian Ning, "You can go, but you have to take me and our baby with you, otherwise you can't go anywhere."
Jane Ning had just gotten into bed. The quilt was cold, and so was he. But the sight of two cold people cuddling together was warm, and she felt strangely comfortable, so she let him hold her. In the past, his behavior would have seemed like rudeness to her, and she would have slapped him twice.
Now, with a promise between them, today was different from the past. She wasn't as resistant to him as before. Besides, it was so cold, so a free stove seemed nice.
Jane Ning had never slept with someone in her arms before, and the warmth from his chest made her feel sleepy. They were going to be husband and wife sooner or later anyway, so why not let him board the ship tonight?
Uh, how could she have such a rascal idea? Uh, what's the big deal? It's bound to happen sooner or later. It's better to avoid being remembered...
She was struggling with her conscience when she suddenly noticed a change in his body, and her breathing became disordered. Just when she was unsure of what to do, she felt a warmth on her forehead. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her forehead, then stood up and returned to the couch.
He had promised her that he would not marry her until she passed the imperial examination.
How could a man of his stature go back on his word? If he didn't even have this little bit of determination, how could he be the head of a family, how could he gain a foothold in the world!
