Chapter 40 Sent an invitation, but not for him



Fox was surprised: "Really? What clue?"

Jiang Ling analyzed it and said, "The clue must be related to this sword. It would be useless for me to get this sword. Giving it to my father or brother would not be of much use to the plot. So, they must want me to give this sword to someone on Zhou Jing'an's side to curry favor with someone."

She picked up a date from the fruit bowl next to her and put it into her mouth.

"If I give it to Zhou Jing'an, it would be too obvious. Besides, I remember it was written in the book that Zhou Jing'an is more proficient in spears and swords. He has his own weapons, so he doesn't need me to give him any."

Jiang Ling's eyes lit up as he said confidently, "If he wants to be on Zhou Jing'an's side and be skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, then there's only one person who can do it."

"Who is it?" Foxy's eyes were full of admiration.

She said slowly, "Zhou Huanan."

She found it in the corner of her memory. The book said that Zhou Huanan had always wanted a good sword. It was around the hundredth chapter that Shen Qingru found a sword and gave it to her, but it was not this one. She also forgot the specific name. Jiang Ling was really not interested in things like weapons.

Foxy clapped his soft paws, "Host is so smart!"

"Then the host should quickly confirm the item and give it to her!"

Jiang Ling laughed, "Don't worry, if I claim it now, wow, an ancient sword will appear out of nowhere in the carriage. Isn't that too weird?"

She had already made plans to go up the mountain one day and find an opportunity to take it out from a cave.

"Oh, by the way, how did the host shed tears in one second? So amazing! Is it a necessary quality for an actor?" Fox asked curiously.

Jiang Ling shook her head. She was not a professional actor and did not have any outstanding talent. She could only read the script over and over again and figure out the character's psychology. It was like she was living her own life every time she played a role.

This caused her to be unable to act easily at first, and she almost became depressed at one point.

It was only after I performed more plays and learned some tricks that I got better.

As for crying for a second.

She actually has a special skill.

That is - she easily cries in the wind!

As long as you don't blink, tears will come out in three seconds at most. I did that just now.

Fox was surprised, "That's because the host is so powerful!"

Jiang Ling touched its head, rubbed it twice, and pouted proudly: "It's just a trivial trick."

-

After this, Jiang Ling really stopped looking for Zhou Jingan, and she was not even seen at banquets.

Or maybe he just took a quick glance and saw her sitting in the middle of the crowd. Even though there were so many girls and young ladies, he still spotted Jiang Ling at a glance.

After their eyes met, she no longer smiled and saluted him, but turned away in panic. After a moment, when she looked again, the house was empty and there was no sign of Jiang Ling.

He had good hearing and heard Cheng An and Wu Wanying talking from afar. They were worried about why Jiang Ling left home early and wondered if she was sick.

Zhou Jing'an lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. Was he ill? Or was he... avoiding him?

The days passed slowly, and Jiang Ling spent most of his time in the mansion, eating, drinking and having fun. At the same time, he ran around the martial arts training ground every day, did horse stance, and occasionally went horseback riding to consolidate his equestrian skills.

She took some time to visit the mountains outside Beijing, and accidentally walked into the deep mountains and old forests. Then, by coincidence, she discovered a hidden cave, and then took out a sword from it as if searching for treasure.

When Xiaojia and Xiaoyi saw the sword, their eyes lit up, and Xiaobing and Xiaoding also came out from the darkness.

"Do you know what kind of sword this is? It's really heavy." Jiang Ling lifted it with great effort and deliberately smeared some dirt and weeds on it.

Xiaojia hesitated for a moment, then bowed and replied, "Miss, I'm not sure, but judging by the shape, material, and color, it should be the ancient famous sword, Chengying. But I don't know if it's real or fake."

After all, this is a famous sword from ancient times, the kind that has long been lost and its whereabouts are unknown.

Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jia, wow, he really knows what he is doing.

I don't know where the system came from.

Since this can be obtained, can we ask it to bring a mobile phone as well?

Jiang Ling thought about the feasibility of this matter and wanted to ask Shahuhu later.

Seeing that the four of them were staring at it, she couldn't help but laugh. She threw it to them and said, "Please take good care of it. I've thought of someone who would be a good match for it. I'm going to give it to someone else in a few days, so I'll leave it in your care for the next few days."

She looked at the four people's eyes, which had just brightened and then dimmed, and laughed heartily, "As long as you don't break anything, you can play with it as you like."

The four of them instantly became alert after hearing this. Doesn't this mean that they can practice sword skills as they please?

"Yes! Don't worry, Miss!" The four of them promised to keep it well.

-

After doing the horse stance, Jiang Ling leaned weakly on the couch, feeling that her thigh muscles might be developing vigorously.

Zizhen came in, and she and Luzhu each massaged her legs. Smiling, they asked, "Miss, the day after tomorrow will be your seventeenth birthday. Madam just sent someone to ask if you want to celebrate it at home or out."

Jiang Ling thought about it, then asked with some interest, "Where are you going to spend the night outside?"

Lu Zhu smiled and replied, "It might be Ruyifang or Fangfeiyuan. Young ladies usually go there to celebrate their birthdays. There are banquets, tea and snacks, and even singing and dancing performances."

"Oh? That's great." Jiang Ling stroked his chin and thought, then came up with an idea. "Then let's stay outside. You go and tell mother."

Zizhen replied, "Hey, I'll go right away."

Meng Wanjie naturally agreed to her request and immediately asked someone to book a table at Ruyifang, specifically booking the entire third floor to celebrate her birthday.
