Chapter 362 Different Xia Ning

By this time it was already dark.

Perhaps because Xia Ning was by his side, the Emperor of Great Chu was in an unprecedented good mood and actually led a group of people for a stroll on the street.

He knew that Xia Ning must be a good county magistrate and would handle the government affairs of Baoning County very well.

But he didn't expect that Xia Ning was so approachable.

As they walked along the way, local people and vendors came and greeted Xia Ning.

"Master Xia, are there any friends coming?"

Xia Ning nodded with a smile, turned to look at the Great Chu Emperor: "Yes, my best friend."

"Master Xia, are you ready to eat? Would you like to try some of our wontons today?"

Xia Ning also waved his hands: "No, no, I want to go to the Anning Building with my friends."

Soon, another vendor selling candied haws came up and stuffed a string of candied haws into Lu Xingwan's hand: "Master Xia, give it to the child."

Xia Ning turned around to take out his money, but saw that the vendor had already run away quickly.

Song Qingyan was sharp-eyed and quickly told Jinyu to stuff a few copper coins into the peddler's pocket.

After walking a few steps, another toy vendor came over and put a rattle in Lu Xingwan's hand: "Master Xia, give it to the child to play with."

Naturally, Lord Xia did not have time to pay, and Jinyu had to be reluctant to keep the money.

At the same time, he said to Jinyu: "Miss, you don't know that County Master Zhi has always been very caring towards us. Normally, he would never accept our things."

"Now I see an adult holding a child, and I thought..." The vendor shrugged regretfully, "I didn't expect the adult would still give money."

Jinyu is a talkative person.

While stuffing the money back to the vendor, he said, "If you all live your lives well, Master Xia will be happy!"

After hearing what Jinyu said, the peddler seemed to suddenly understand: "Miss, you are right, Miss, you are right."

My eyes are full of emotion.

Song Qingyan followed behind and was extremely surprised.

The Xia Ning she knew in the past was a man who looked down on everything. How could he get along with these common people?

Of course Song Qingyan was not the only one who was surprised.

At this time, the Emperor of Great Chu was already frightened by Xia Ning, who had just walked along and greeted the people warmly.

I was really scared.

He even began to wonder if Xia Ning had been abducted by someone, which was why he looked like this. If it had been in the past...

He would probably ignore these poor people.

Along the way, the one who gained the most was naturally Lu Xingwan, who was held in Xia Ning's arms.

At first, she was startled when the first vendor stuffed something into her arms.

Later, one after another, she got used to it and started to comment on them one by one.

[I didn't expect that Xia Ning has such high prestige among the people. After all, he is my father's companion, so he is different! ]

[This small county town is as wealthy as the capital.]

[Look at the people, all of them are happily out shopping, you can tell that Xia Ning really put a lot of thought into it. ]

While Lu Xingwan was thinking about it, another object was stuffed into her arms.

[I can't hold it anymore, help, what is this? 】

【Mother, help me. 】

Before Song Qingyan could rush over, the things in Lu Xingwan's hands had already started to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Pei Chuyan had been following Xia Ning. He took the things over quickly, and then put the things in his own hands one by one and continued walking forward.

While Pei Chuyan was busy packing things, Lu Xingwan just stared at him like this.

[I originally thought that Xia Ning would be a proud person, or maybe he had the same personality as Pei Chuyan, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.]

[I didn't expect that this person is hot on the outside and hot on the inside! ]

Listening to Lu Xingwan's words, the Great Chu Emperor shook his head again. Xia Ning used to be a person who was cold on the outside and cold on the inside!

The happiest people were Yue Guiren and several maids who followed behind the crowd, naturally including Qiong Hua.

Although I have seen the prosperous night scene of Beijing, Baoning County in the south of the Yangtze River has a completely different scenery.

Qiong Hua couldn't help but approach Song Qingyan and said softly, "Madam, I didn't expect this place to be as prosperous as the capital!"

"But compared to the capital, it has a more charming flavor."

Qiong Hua was naturally happy. She was willing to go to the lower world to look for Wanwan. Besides because she was worried about Wanwan, another reason was that after finding Wanwan, she wanted to go to the lower world together to see the beautiful scenery.

After all, these are words that can only be seen in the novels.

Or even better, you can see some paintings.

But after all, it is not as beautiful as seeing it with your own eyes.

As expected, Qiong Hua did learn a lot along the way.

Since Song Qingyan already knew Qiong Hua's identity, for some reason, she sometimes felt the same love for her as she did for Wan Wan. She just patted her hands and said, "This great Chu country is vast and rich in resources. There will be plenty of opportunities to visit it in the future."

Qiong Hua followed beside him and nodded continuously.

When she finds Wanwan, she will definitely go out to take a look.

Soon, several people entered the door of An Ning Tower. The shopkeeper learned that it was the county magistrate who was entertaining his friends, so he naturally prepared the best private room and enthusiastically led the people up.

"Brother Ning, you have changed." This was the first sentence the Emperor of Great Chu said to Xia Ning after he sat down.

Xia Ning didn't take it seriously. He put Lu Xingwan on the couch beside him and then sat next to the Great Chu Emperor: "People will change."

"You're different too."

When he met the Emperor of Great Chu this time, Xia Ning suddenly felt at ease.

Although he was not in the capital, he was paying attention to what was happening in the capital. Naturally, he had heard about the changes in the Emperor of Great Chu over the past year.

The fact that he handed over all government affairs to the Crown Prince and went out to travel alone proved that he was different from before.

The Lu Ao he knew was a suspicious person.

For so many years, it seemed that I was the only person he could trust, but I caused him so much trouble.

At this point, the Great Chu Emperor seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Last year's drought caused poor harvests throughout the Great Chu State, but how come Baoning County was not affected at all?"

Xia Ning smiled, and seemed to be very happy to mention this matter: "Your Majesty should go back and check first. Although Your Majesty has issued an order to reduce taxes for two years, my Baoning County has paid all the taxes."

Hearing this, the Emperor of Chu was stunned.

Lu Xingwan was also stunned.

A bad thought came to my mind.

[No way...Who has taken advantage of Xia Ning's love for the Great Chu State?]
