Jian Ning has been here for nearly half a year, but he doesn't even recognize a single sergeant or centurion in the barracks, let alone a general. How can he recognize a general?
Could it be someone under the command of Duan Xinning's father, Prince Pingnan? This thought was rejected by Jian Ning as soon as it came to her mind. This was because she had only mentioned the fact that Xiu Gu was Duan Xinning, the daughter of Prince Pingnan, to Ding Youtian. How could the people of Prince Pingnan know about it?
She couldn't figure it out. It was the middle of the night and Ma Fuquan was probably sleeping soundly, so she didn't ask him.
No matter who he is, he will know when he comes back after returning.
After drinking the chicken soup and washing the dishes, Jian Ning returned to her room. She slipped into bed and fell asleep again, only waking up when Ding Youtian tiptoed back into the room at dawn.
"I'm sorry for disturbing your sweet dream." Ding Youtian smiled and took off his clothes. Jian Ning let him sleep in her warm bed. When she was about to get up, he hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, wait until I warm you up before getting up."
His voice was soft and a little hoarse, and he opened his mouth and gently kissed Jane Ning's earlobe, making her feel as if a small hand was gently teasing her heart, and her body suddenly became hot.
"Well, that's great..."
"What's so good?" she asked him in a trembling voice.
"Everything is fine... As long as my wife is fine, that's all."
Jane Ning felt very happy with this man. For a moment, he was silent and she was also silent. The morning light came into the room through the window lattice, and the air around them became slightly smoked in the thin light.
After a while, Jane Ning listened to his breathing gradually steadying, gently removed his hand from around her neck, and sat up.
Glancing at him from the side, although his face showed a hint of tiredness from staying up late, it did not affect his beautiful appearance at all.
Oddly enough, when she first came here, Jane Ning was disgusted by his face. Although he didn't look feminine, he didn't have the slightest bit of masculinity that a tough guy should have.
Looking at him now, he still had that sharp-edged brow, that thin and handsome face, but she could see a hidden masculinity in him.
She stared at him for a while, then suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
A light laugh rang out, and the next second, her waist tightened, and he hugged her and turned over, looking at her with a smile and said, "No need to be sneaky. If you want it, it happens that I want it too."
"Go to hell!" Jian Ning pounded his chest with both hands. "Who was sneaking around? I just wanted to see if you were asleep or not, but you pretended to be asleep. I told you to pretend to be asleep..."
He grasped her left hand, his pair of smiling black eyes showing extraordinary tenderness. He lowered his head and she closed her eyes, but he only kissed the back of her hand lightly before reaching out to take her clothes. "If you don't want to sleep anymore, get dressed and get up. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Jane Ning's face flushed. Was this guy playing hard to get with her? She yanked her clothes away, gave him a stern look, and cursed, "Hateful!"
"Oh, why am I annoying?" He huddled in the quilt and smiled with interest, "Tell me about it."
"I hate you, but you're not only hateful, you're also shameless!"
"That's totally unreasonable. If I remember correctly, it was my wife who was frivolous with me first."
"Who's being unreasonable? Since you call me wife, how can it be considered frivolous if I kiss my own husband?"
"I'll let you flirt with me one more time."
"Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it for the rest of your life!"
As Jian Ning finished speaking, a strange voice rang out from the room: "Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!"
She and Ding Youtian looked up at the beam at the same time. Baimei tilted his head and looked at them. Jane Ning had heard that as long as people have the patience to tame crows, some crows can imitate human speech like parrots.
"Was that the flat-haired beast speaking just now?"
As if to verify Ding Youtian's doubts, Baimei, like a cold king, spread his wings, walked back and forth on the beam for a few steps, and then stared at Ding Youtian again, "Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!"
Ding Youtian had never heard of a crow speaking human language. His jaw dropped in shock. "Could this be a crow spirit?"
Jian Ning chuckled and said, "If it really is a crow spirit, one day it will transform into a black girl. I will take her in as your second wife, is that okay?"
"If I say yes, will you cry and make a scene to death?"
He huddled under the covers, clutching the corners with both hands. Jian Ning's fists rained down on him. Bai Mei also leaped down and pecked at the back of his hand, causing him to cry out in pain.
Jane Ning gave him a good beating and went downstairs with a proud look on her face.
After breakfast, Jian Ning pulled Mei Niang to the flower hall to talk, "Sister, do you know where I can hire a fortune-teller or a Taoist priest? I want to find someone to come to the mansion..."
Before she could finish her words, Mei Niang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Last night, my father-in-law asked Uncle Liu to do the Taoist ceremony. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Jian Ning also laughed. She laughed at herself for being confused. Blind Liu was not only a storyteller but also a fortune teller. Naturally, he could also run a Taoist temple.
In fact, it was not that she had not thought about it at first, but she was afraid that Mr. Qin would not believe Blind Liu. However, she forgot that Mr. Qin was also from Baisha Town, so how could he not know the name of Blind Liu.
"Sister," Jian Ning said, "our family has been bothering you for a few days. We should go home tomorrow. The winery has to start work the day after tomorrow, and we have a backlog of orders. We can't delay. I will come to visit you when you are about to give birth."
"You're transferring so soon? Aren't you supposed to remove their stitches?"
"No need. If they come to ask, I'll have to trouble you to tell them." Jane Ning used absorbable sutures, which will not cause thread rejection reaction and do not need to be removed.
"I'll ask Ali to go to the dock and ask if the boat will be running tomorrow. If it is, I'll have him buy the ticket. If not, you two sisters can stay one more day. The boat will definitely be running on the fourth day of the New Year."
"I'll go by myself. It's a good opportunity to show Bao'er and the others around. Just treat it as a trip out for fun." Mei Niang accompanied Jian Ning to call Dabao and the others. When they arrived, they only saw Dabao, Qiaofeng, and Da Niu. "My younger sister and the others are in the vegetable garden. Grandma Feng took them there."
The big girl told Jian Ning.
Since coming to Zhuling County, Old Qin no longer makes clothes for others. When he has nothing to do, he opens a vegetable garden in the backyard and grows some seasonal vegetables to kill time and entertain himself.
Mei Niang led Jian Ning to the backyard to look for him. Before they got close, they heard Old Qin yelling, "Killing a pig and stabbing its asshole, everyone has their own way of doing it. I want to do it this way, so stop talking."
"Let's go later." Mei Niang smiled and pulled Jian Ning. "If we go now, my mother-in-law will definitely ask me to judge the matter. I don't take sides with anyone. Now I have learned my lesson. I will stay away and not offend anyone."
"If we don't talk about the old and the young, your mother-in-law can only tolerate your father-in-law's temper after living with him for so many years. If it were me, I would have known..."
Before Jian Ning could finish her words, she heard Erniu and Sanniu crying at the top of their lungs.
