Chapter 388 Burning the City
"No, it's too little." Sang Ning waved his hand.
So what? That's all she had.
Wu Nianxi opened her eyes wide, tears welling up in her eyes, her mouth pursed, and she looked like she was about to burst into tears.
"Can I give you to my aunt?"
Sang Ning tapped her red nose and said, "Become my aunt's goddaughter. Open a shop in the future and make a lot of money for me."
According to age, Sang Ning is at most the little girl's sister, but what does it matter, because a bunch of children call him aunt anyway.
It would be nice to have another daughter.
The main reason is that when she sees Nian Xi, she thinks of her past self, and she can’t just ignore it.
Sang Ning now has a gorgeous daughter.
How wonderful it is that I have a daughter this big without having to raise her. She is beautiful, sensible, and capable.
Jintang was so happy to have a new sister.
Shao Songchen was also happy. He would not have nightmares at night and would not have to bear the psychological burden of Mrs. Wu's entrustment.
But Fourth Aunt always smiled at him strangely, which made him feel uneasy.
He also overheard what she said to her fourth uncle: Do you think that little fool will cry like a dog when he finally comes to his senses?
Who are you talking about? Who is the little fool?
There are only three children in the mansion, and they are all very smart. There is no stupid one.
It must be talking about someone else.
*
The maid that Huo Changan found for Sang Ning arrived.
I didn't expect that they were all old people from the previous mansion.
The names of the younger generation of maids all start with the character "玉". One is called Yucui and the other is called Yubai.
I also saw him on the day of Sang Ning’s wedding.
Only then did Sang Ning realize that when the Hou family fell into trouble, all these maids were sold to pawnshops.
The next day, someone paid to buy them all. However, in order to avoid attracting attention, the maids left the pawnshop in batches and were sent to different homes.
Some were merchants, some were minor officials, and some were court officials.
The one who bought those maids was the eldest brother's close friend Lin Mu.
After Huo Qingchuan came back, he still didn't believe that Lin Mu would betray him. He suspected that Lin Mu had been killed.
So the first thing he did was to ask Huo Changan to find these maids.
There are also Lin Mu’s wife and children hidden away.
At that time, Huo Qingchuan instructed Lin Mu to send his wife and children to a small mountain village in case of any accidents.
The small mountain village was hidden and had suffered a landslide. It was Huo Qingchuan who spent money and effort to rescue the entire village and sent them there to be safe.
Facts proved that Lin Mu had indeed met with an accident.
Lin Mu's wife said that Lin Mu sent them to a remote mountain village and told them not to return to Beijing if he did not come to pick them up.
He has not been seen since then.
Huo Changan sent people to buy out all the maids and asked for their opinions. Those who were willing to go could go, and those who were unwilling would have their slave status abolished and become free again.
Yucui and Yubai were the ones who stayed behind. They already had some kung fu skills and were sent to a training camp for two months before coming here.
The others have been sent to the northwest.
As they were all from the same family who had been stranded in the world, Sang Ning easily accepted the two maids.
Huo Changan felt relieved.
The army will set out tomorrow, so go to bed early at night.
He told Yucui and Yubai that while he was there, they were not needed to take care of the lady.
So, Yucui brought the hot water and respectfully withdrew.
Sang Ning is afraid of the cold, so he soaks his feet for a while every night.
There was a stove burning brightly in the room.
Huo Changan was only wearing pajamas, but he still felt hot.
He squatted down and massaged the acupoints on Sang Ning's feet. His collar was loose, revealing his strong outline and sensual collarbone. Beyond that, there was a shadow and no one could see anything.
After kneading for a while, he took the kettle from the stove and added hot water to the basin.
The heat filled his face, leaving a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.
It's really a walking furnace.
Sanning raised his foot and stepped on his forehead.
"Wipe your sweat."
The man held her feet and put them back into the water.
Sonning lifted his other foot.
After this happened several times, Huo Changan's pajamas were soaked.
The last time, Sang Ning used too much strength and kicked him backward, almost causing him to squat on the ground.
He looked up at the woman in the candlelight with a sad gaze.
Then without saying a word, he wiped her feet and tucked her into bed.
When he went out, he said something to Yucui.
Yucui brought in another basin of water and took out the foot washing water.
"Ah, now that I have a maid, I've become lazy!"
Sang Ning lay on the bed, holding his chin and looking at him.
Huo Changan started to cut and grind his nails with scissors, and then washed his hands carefully.
"What are you doing with your nails so late at night?"
"The doctor said... balancing yin and yang can also help with your cold symptoms."
Harmony of Yin and Yang...
Oh, that makes sense.
I'll try it again today. She'll be so envious if I hold her in my arms every day!
It would be nice if the size could be controlled arbitrarily.
She wanted to try some meat first.
However, she never expected that today would really be a small trumpet.
She was lost in the melody of finger dance.
It’s so warm, my whole body is warm.
"Okay?" The man kissed her gently.
"good……"
"I really like you like this, Ning'er..."
The night is long.
The candlestick burned faintly, and the wax slowly flowed down, accumulating layer by layer in the bottom plate.
Crystal clear.
…
The next day, we set off.
The army marched through the streets in an orderly fashion, always keeping an arm's length from the stalls lining the streets.
The owner of a steamed bun stall carefully handed over the steamed buns, and the lady selling eggs fearfully handed over the eggs, but they were all politely declined.
"Thank you very much. The army has regulations that prohibit us from taking the civilians' property and harassing them."
They really don't want it.
They really didn't arrest anyone in Xihua City.
They are really different from other armies!
Song Zhaolun brought people to see him off.
Behind him were guards, all the villagers of Cuiping Village, and other common people.
"General Huo gave us the land, why didn't he even collect an egg?" The aunt was very anxious.
"Zhao Lun, go up and ask if the Madam needs a maid. I'll ask my daughter to repay her kindness."
"Or I can go too. I'll do the laundry and cook for Madam."
The village head was also anxious: "Please collect as much as possible. Fighting is not easy. We need to have enough to eat."
Song Zhaolun's eyes were moist, and he smiled and shook his head: "No need for that. Our lives are getting better and better, which is what the master wants to see."
The team finally reached the end.
Song Zhaolun knelt and shouted: "With the protection of the Lord's spirit, we will soon pacify the world!"
The people followed him, kneeling in the long street.
"With the protection of my Lord and God, I will surely pacify the world soon!"
"With the protection of my Lord and God, I will surely pacify the world soon!"
…
On the high city wall, Yuan Mu watched the last soldiers disappear at the city gate.
His eyes were cruel and cold.
Huo Changan, even if you take that position, you will be cursed for eternity!
His gaze turned to the people on the street, revealing a slight pity, but then it became extremely cold.
Eat the emperor's food and be loyal to him.
His Yuan family will never be like those fence-sitters, changing sides!
"After nightfall, burn the city!"
