Ning Shaoqing was a man of his word, and he found the commander of the Jinyiwei the next day. But he did not ask for any favors, and said that Bai Xiaoxiao was very good at martial arts and tracking, and was a face-saving person.
Ning Shaoqing was also one of the victims of Nangong Qiuming's unjust case. Although he did not hold an official position, he was the nephew of Ning Guojiu. Now he lived in the former prime minister's residence, and Liu Taifu treated him very well when he was in the court.
The commander had to give this face. Besides, the other party didn't ask for any favors. He just wanted him to give him a chance. Naturally, he had no objection. He waved his hand and asked Bai Xiaoxiao to come over tomorrow.
Bai Xiaoxiao was still teaching Nangong Xingyu martial arts in the yard. Yes, that was Nangong Xingyu. Ever since he was kicked into the lake by Hua Nian, he had completely changed. Not only did he not go to the Ye Mansion when he had something to do, he also became diligent and eager to learn.
A promising young man.
Good love makes each other better people. The little guy is not bad, better than his father.
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard that Ning Shaoqing asked her to report to Jinyiwei tomorrow, she jumped up with joy and gave him a bear hug without saying a word: "Brother Ning, you are so awesome."
Ning Shaoqing raised his eyebrows: "That's right, when I do things, I have to be good at it."
The expression is very arrogant.
Bai Xiaoxiao let go of him and said a little embarrassedly: "Then how should I repay you?"
Liu Huanian pulled Nangong Xingyu aside and secretly encouraged Ning Shaoqing: "Promise me, promise me, promise me..."
Nangong Xingyu was standing next to her, looking at her with a smile.
Liu Huanian encouraged him for a long time, and Ning Shaoqing suddenly slapped his forehead and came up with a brilliant idea: "Let's become sworn brothers. From now on, I will be your elder brother and you will be my younger brother. You will follow my lead in the future."
“Tsk!” Liu Huanian’s sneering voice almost penetrated the Ye residence and reached the street: “You idiot, someone wants to be your wife, and you actually want to become sworn brothers with her?!”
Are you crazy?
I finally understand why Mr. Wang next door has a wife, but he is still single.
Bai Xiaoxiao probably didn't expect that he could come up with such an outrageous way to repay her. She was dumbfounded for a moment: "Is this really okay?"
"Okay, you are an orphan, and I am also an orphan. Once we become sworn brothers, won't we become a family?" Ning Shaoqing said seriously.
Bai Xiaoxiao was obviously not happy about it, but he dragged her to kneel down on the spot and kowtow to the sky.
"Um, um, Brother Ning, I think it's a bit hasty, how about we think about it carefully?"
"It's just a sworn brotherhood, not a marriage. What do you need to discuss? Hurry up, be a man and stop dithering." Ning Shaoqing pulled her and asked her to kneel down quickly.
Liu Huanian watched from the side, speechless and holding his forehead with his hand.
Forget it, you still have to rely on me.
So he rushed out to interrupt: "Brother, you're back?"
Ning Shaoqing stood up: "I came back a long time ago, why are you pretending to be stupid, weren't you watching from the side the whole time?"
Liu Huanian rolled his eyes at him, so straightforward.
"Brother, I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Ning Shaoqing saw her holding her stomach, looking aggrieved, probably because she was really hungry: "Okay, let's eat first and then we can become sworn brothers later."
After saying that, he took Liu Huanian's hand and went in to eat with a smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief, but also felt a little resentful. Could it be that I didn't show it clearly enough, so he couldn't feel it?
So after consulting Liu Huanian that night, she brought a string of candied haws to Ning Shaoqing early the next morning.
Ning Shaoqing frowned. Eating candied haws so early in the morning? Aren't you tired of it?
But I still took it and said thank you.
I thought she would leave after she finished speaking, but I didn't expect her to sit next to him and watch: "You eat, I'll watch you eat."
Ning Shaoqing: ...
Then eat it.
After seeing him finish eating, Bai Xiaoxiao said contentedly: "Then I will report to the Jinyiwei and bring you some candied haws in the evening."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped off the roof.
Ning Shaoqing: ...
After that, for three days in a row, he ate three candied haws for each meal, three times a day. It was the first time he ate so much candied haws that he vomited.
When she came back that day, in addition to the candied haws, she also brought him a sleeve crossbow, saying that when she was chasing a criminal, she saw the criminal using it very well, so she went to buy one.
But Ning Shaoqing clearly saw that she was awake most of the night, sitting in front of the candlelight, sewing bit by bit.
"You don't like it?" Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him staring at the crossbow and said nothing: "It doesn't matter, I'll buy you whatever you like next time."
Ning Shaoqing looked at her, reached out to take it and put it on: "I like it very much, thank you."
Section 214
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled immediately: "As long as you like it."
"Then I'll go back first." After saying that, he ran away with a slightly red face.
Liu Huanian came over and said, "Hey, why is there a sour smell in the air?"
She originally wanted to say the sour smell of love, but Nangong Xingyu sniffed it hard: "Sour smell? No, it smells very good, especially Hua Nian, who smells especially good."
Liu Huanian really knows how to thank this idiot. If you say he is smart, he can't understand the hidden meaning. If you say he is stupid, he still knows how to say what she likes to hear.
"You'd better go back to the palace quickly. The palace gates will be closed soon and you will have to sleep on the street." Liu Huanian urged him to leave.
She hangs around her house all day long. If you don't know her, you would think her grandfather has a new son.
"Then I'll go back first. I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to the school together."
"You don't have to come to pick me up. The Royal Academy is in the palace. If you come to pick me up, you have to go out of the palace, and then go back to the palace after picking me up. It's an unnecessary trip."
Liu Huanian felt that there was no need for this at all, as her brother would send her there anyway.
But Nangong Xingyu insisted: "It's okay Hua Nian, I'm on my way."
Liu Huanian: ...
You big head ghost.
Ning Shaoqing laughed at what he heard and joked with him: "Isn't it just on the way? Anyone who wants to send you off will be on the way no matter where they are."
Nangong Xingyu blushed immediately after being teased by him, and said rather uncomfortably: "Huanian, I'm leaving first. Wait for me tomorrow, I will definitely come to pick you up."
Having said that, he ran away.
Seeing his expression, Ning Shaoqing almost died of laughter. Liu Huanian also teased him: "Such a beautiful sleeve crossbow must be bought. If someone wants to please you, he can buy you the stars and the moon."
"You little girl, you dare to tease me." Ning Shaoqing said as he was about to pull her ears.
As a result, Liu Huanian escaped like a little loach and flew to the second floor. He even made a face at him and said, "Brother, you can't catch me. This is called teaching the apprentice and starving the master. Lulululu."
Ning Shaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The little girl looked more and more like her father as she grew up. She was so cunning.
If it were her mother, at this moment, she would definitely go to the ground and cry out in pain and ask for a hug.
So, Liu Huanian is Liu Huanian, not a substitute for anyone. She and Ye Qingwan are two completely different people.
