When they heard Sanniu calling out that Ah Man was here, everyone ran out of the room. Jian Ning thought that Ah Man had sneaked here with Brother Qiu, but when she came out, she saw that it was Huo Jincheng who brought her here.
Because Ah Man was over eight years old, Huo Jincheng had someone make a chair to clamp Qiu Ge on top of her. After he got Ah Man down with the chair, Ah Man called out to Jian Ning, "Mom!" Jian Ning took a few steps forward and opened her arms. Unexpectedly, after calling out "Mom," she ran towards the big girl, "Shu'er, I'm here!"
The two children hugged each other and jumped up and down, while the other two were spinning around them. The three little silver foxes were also very excited. Jian Ning felt a little embarrassed and had to pretend to smooth her hair instead of extending her hand. Huo Jincheng laughed heartily at the sight.
"What are you laughing at?" Ding Youtian expressed his dissatisfaction before Jian Ning could even finish her words. Huo Jincheng said jokingly, "Why do you care what I'm laughing at? I laugh when I want to." Ding Youtian replied, "Who cares about you?"
"Man'er, it must be you who made the fuss to come here, right?" Although the weather was getting warmer, the wind was still quite strong at night. Jian Ning was worried that she would be cold, so she walked up to her and touched the back of her neck. Fortunately, Huo Jincheng had put a cloak on her to keep warm, and she also had one around her neck. Hey, Jian Ning felt that they looked familiar, and she glanced at the three little silver foxes who were extremely excited. Could it be that they were sniffing the scent of the mother fox on this collar?
"Mom, no, it's not like that. My dad is coming to look for someone. My grandma knew I was coming with him, so she put this collar on me." Ah Man's face lit up when she mentioned her grandma, Mrs. Huo. She took off the collar and handed it to Jian Ning. "Mom, keep it for me. You have to give it back to me when we get back. It was given to me by my dad."
"Who are you looking for?" Ding Youtian had just walked to the door of the house, but after hearing what Ah Man said, he turned his head and subconsciously looked at Jian Ning, and then looked at Huo Jincheng and asked.
"You know exactly who you're looking for. You two both know it. Are you still trying to hide it from me?" Huo Jincheng had been planning to come find Blind Liu for a long time, so he stopped playing dumb and nodded to Ding Youtian. "Let's go to your master's house."
"Haha." Ding Youtian didn't hide it anymore. "Then you finally came. I haven't seen my master since I came back. I heard he went out to travel around. I don't know when he will be back."
Huo Jincheng pointed at him, "You're still trying to trick me? That night I was going to pour him some footbath water. I don't know what tricks you two master and disciple pulled to create this foul smell. I won't fall for it now. This isn't some kind of tour you monks or Taoists are talking about. If you don't go, I'll go myself. It's not like I can't find his house."
"Uncle Liu is really away on a long trip." Jian Ning put away her collar and waved away the three silver foxes chasing her. "It's useless for you to go. No one is home. The keys to the rooms are all with us."
Hearing Jian Ning say this, he stopped, looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did he go?"
"No comment." Ding Youtian turned and went back into the house. Jian Ning said, "He had gone out when we got back. He doesn't know, so naturally I can't tell you. If you don't believe me, go to the bookstore in town tomorrow morning and ask the clerk."
"Mom, where's Sister Yue'e? Why can't I see her?" Ah Man ran over, tugged at Jian Ning's sleeve, and asked, looking up. "She went to the border with her brother to deliver wine. It's about time she came back. If you can stay a few more days, you'll definitely see her."
"No, Man'er, you promised Dad before you came here that you would go back in two days. You must keep your promise, otherwise Dad won't believe you the next time."
"But..." Ah Man looked at Jian Ning, and Jian Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. Aunt Tian is going to the capital with Xiaodou and Xiaolu in a while, and mother asked her to take you with her."
Ah Man jumped up and down when he heard that. He immediately ran to grab the eldest girl and called out to the second and third girls, "Let's go, let's go back to our own room. Shu'er and I will sleep in the same bed tonight. Let's go!"
Huo Jincheng was ignored, and now it was Jian Ning's turn to laugh at him. After laughing, she nodded her chin towards the east room and said, "It's up to you whether you want to rest in Dabao Room or go to the clinic. The bedding in the clinic has just been changed and dried."
Huo Jincheng looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and glanced at Qiu Ge, Guo Guo, Bai Mei and the others playing nearby. "I'd better go to the town to find Jin Yu."
Ding Youtian came out again with the chessboard in hand. He sneered at the words and said, "Jinyu is a newlywed couple. How can they care about you? I'd better play a few games of chess with you. Let's have a drink and chat."
"I'll go get you some snacks." Jian Ning went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks. Qiao Feng came over after hearing the noise. Jian Ning said, "You're not needed. You've been busy all day. Go take a rest and play with your sisters for a while."
"I'm not tired. Let me help Master light the fire."
"That's fine. It's been a while since we, master and disciple, sat down and had a good chat."
Jian Ning took some dried bamboo shoots and bracken out of the hanging basket. These were picked by Qiaofeng and Da Niu in the back mountains. She scooped some water into the pot, and while it was heating up, she said to Qiaofeng, "I've thought about it for you. It's okay to go to the capital with Shu'er. You two can study and learn to read together in the mansion. Once you've studied well, you'll be able to slowly understand the medical books I gave you. Your senior brother probably goes to the capital every year, and we'll be back in a few years too."
Ma Xiaomai was in the capital, and Jian Ning also noticed that Tian was very fond of Qiaofeng. The key point was that Qiaofeng was also interested in Ma Xiaomai, otherwise, with her personality, she would have asked to go to Danyang County with them without hesitation.
"My mother and the other concubine in the mansion are both very easy to get along with. You are my disciple. If you go there, you will have the same noble status as Shu'er, and no one will dare to treat you badly. Besides, if you want, you can live with Aunt Tian in the house I bought, and go to the Taifu Mansion with Ah Man to study every day. It's up to you. I have said the same thing to Shu'er. It's up to you to decide where to go."
