King Chen didn't want to see King Yan, so he shook his head and said, "I won't disturb my mother and concubine anymore. Go back and have a rest."
On the second day, the emperor had an excuse to attend to official duties and did not go to the paddock. He asked the prince to do it for him.
Because the emperor did not go to the paddock, Shi Jingyang and Lu Qichuan withdrew their secret line and stayed by the prince's side.
Instead of keeping an eye on Liu Jinrui, Xu Guanjie had a chance to show off his skills.
Li Can and Liu Yuan have said it countless times, "The boss doesn't say many ruthless things!"
While Liu Yuan tied the newly hunted deer on his horse, he turned around and said to Xu Guanjie: "Boss, there is another wild boar. We will definitely not be able to move it all in one trip. How about I send the little one there first and then come back?"
"
Xu Guanjie was busy hunting and responded without looking back: "Okay!"
Li Can raised his voice and reminded: "You have to keep an eye on them and count them, and put away the score cards."
"I know!" Liu Yuan led the horse back.
On the second day of hunting, Xu Guanjie and the others were far ahead by hunting seven rabbits, five badgers, four goats, three foxes, two deer, and one wild boar.
The second place is Liu Jinrui's team, which is 50 points behind Xu Guanjie's team.
After three days, Xu Guanjie won the championship with a record high score.
When the emperor presented the award to Xu Guanjie, he pointed at Xu Guanjie, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember you! Xu Guanjie, the second place winner in the last martial arts examination!"
Xu Guanjie quickly knelt down to thank him.
The emperor stepped forward and personally delivered the Long Xiaojian to Xu Guanjie, patted Xu Guanjie on the shoulder and said: "Young man, with excellent skills, he is the pillar of the country and has a promising future."
Liu Zhongxue narrowed his eyes slightly and looked coldly at Xu Guanjie who was kneeling on the ground, gritting his teeth with hatred.
If it weren't for this boy, it would be his brother Rui who was praised today.
King Chen looked at Xu Guanjie with admiration in his eyes. Before, King Chen wanted to take Xu Guanjie for himself. Now, King Chen was thinking that he would definitely take Xu Guanjie under his command.
Xu Guanjie thanks him again.
The three-day hunting is over, and we are ready to return to the city and Beijing.
In the capital city, with the thick darkness of night, several cars quietly drove into Minghui Lane and Mingyuan.
Ning Wei got out of the car first, walked to Mrs. Qian's car, took Mrs. Qian's hand from Yue Niang's, and carefully reminded: "Grandma, please slow down and be careful of the steps."
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Sister Wei, don't worry about me, go see your great-aunt."
Mrs. Jiang got out of another car with the support of Granny Shen. After listening to Mrs. Qian's words, she smiled and said: "I'm fine, don't worry.
Ah Wei, hold on to your grandmother, her legs are not good, be careful, don’t let her fall."
Mrs. Jiang reminded.
During the ten days or so that she stayed at Baoen Temple, Dr. Hu performed acupuncture on Mrs. Jiang three times, and Master Jingkong also taught Mrs. Jiang a set of mental techniques to take care of her body.
Mrs. Jiang's health has improved greatly.
Ning Wei smiled and responded, "Yes, Wei'er understands."
The group of people returned to the main room chatting and laughing, and Ning Wei asked: "Are you guys hungry? I'm going to make some midnight snacks!"
Mrs. Qian shook her head, "I'm not hungry, so I went to rest after sitting for a while. Where's my sister, do you want some midnight snack?"
Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "I don't need to either. Mrs. Hu said that she won't eat after the You hour, so I'll just sit down and take a rest."
Ning Wei looked at Wei Yuan and Ning Yu, "Where are Uncle Wei and my brother?"
Wei Yuan and Ning Yu shook their heads, "If you're not hungry, there's no need."
Ning Wei turned to look at Hu Rui and asked, "Where is sir? What do you want to eat?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Hu Rui shook his head and said, "No need."
Hu Rui likes to eat meat. During these days at Bao'en Temple, she ate vegetarian dishes, which made Hu Rui's body taste like grass. She drooled just thinking about meat.
After hearing Ning Wei's talk about making a late-night snack, Hu Rui thought it would satisfy her cravings. Seeing this, she had no choice but to climb over the wall and go out for a snack at night.
Ning Wei originally wanted to cook something to eat, but seeing everyone shaking their heads, she had no choice but to say: "Okay, since everyone is not hungry, let's rest early. Let's go there early when the results are released tomorrow."
Wei Yuan took over the words, "You don't have to go very early, just start at Yinmo. I have booked a private room at the Happy House opposite Gongyuan. Let's go to the Happy House to have breakfast and wait slowly there."
Ning Wei looked at Ning Yu and asked: "Brother, will you wait at home tomorrow or will we go to the Gongyuan to look at the results?"
Ning Yu said: "Helezhai is Jiangsi's property. Before the autumn, a few of us agreed that on the day when the results would be released, we would gather at Lehezhai and wait for the results to be released."
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "That's good, you can go together tomorrow. Chang Le will take note of it, and after the results are released, he will deliver the letter to his home as soon as possible."
Chang Le bowed and responded: "Yes, I understand, little one."
Mrs. Qian turned to Yue Niang and said, "Prepare some reward money. The good news will arrive tomorrow, and I will give you reward money."
Yueniang smiled and bent her knees and responded, "Don't worry, old lady, the eldest lady has already told me about this, and I'm ready."
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Ning Wei and praised: "A Wei is a careful person! She thinks very carefully. It's really good!"
Ning Wei leaned towards Mrs. Jiang and said, "Thank you, great-aunt, for the compliment!"
Everyone chatted for a while and then everyone went back to their houses to rest.
The next day, Ning Wei got up early to wash up and dress up. When she came to the front yard, she saw Ning Yu already waiting there. She apologized and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
Ning Yu smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, let's go. You and your husband will take Xu Yan's car."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay."
As the car drove out of Mingyuan, the closer it got to Gongyuan, the more uneasy Ning Wei felt. She was full of expectation and clenched her fists with worry.
Hu Rui saw Ning Wei's nervousness and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried that the second master failed the exam?"
Ning Wei smiled at Hu Rui, nodded and said truthfully: "Well, I'm a little worried."
Hu Rui smiled and said: "Miss, you care too much, that's why you are nervous.
In fact, the second master's knowledge is so good, so the lady should rest assured.
Just as the second master has full confidence in the young lady’s business, the young lady should also have a hundredfold confidence in the second master’s scientific examination.”
Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "Sir, that's right, because you care too much, that's why you're nervous."
"Miss, it looks like there is Jiang Mansion's car in front of you." Xu Yan said.
Ning Wei opened the curtains and looked forward. Sure enough, the car in front had the Jiangfu logo on it.
Ning Wei said: "Uncle Xu, the car is a little faster."
Xu Yan responded: "Okay, sit down, Miss."
After Ning Wei's car ran parallel to Jiang's car, Ning Wei recognized that the driver was Jiang Xingyu's driver Jin Shu, and asked in a loud voice: "Jinshu, is your lady in the car?"
Jinshu and Jinxin are twins, Jinshu is the elder brother and Jinxin is the younger sister.
Before Jin Shu could reply, Jiang Xingyu opened the curtains and shouted ecstatically: "A Wei! Are you here?"
The moment Ning Wei saw Jiang Xingyu, she was in a daze. Although she hadn't seen him for more than ten days, she felt like she was reunited after a long separation.
"Why are you crying, miss?" Hu Rui asked hurriedly when he saw Ning Wei crying.
Ning Wei came back to her senses, wiped her face in embarrassment, and waved to Jiang Xingyu, signaling her to speak again later.
Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei, who had a normal expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Wei shook her head, "Nothing, I'm a little excited to see Xing Yu."
Hu Rui smiled and said: "I was shocked. I thought the young lady had thought of something sad."
The car drove into the courtyard of Lelezhai. Ning Wei got out of the car. Jiang Xingyu had already walked towards her with his hand stretched out, "Awei, where have you been? I went to Mingyuan to look for you."
Ning Wei stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Xingyu's hand and said, "It's a matter of course. I'll explain it to you later. Isn't it Qiu Xiang these days? You didn't go?"
Jiang Xingyu replied: "I went and came back early."
"Miss, we're blocking the road here, let's go inside first."
Jinxin looked at the carriages that kept coming in and quickly reminded the two of them.
Ning Wei looked back, took Jiang Xingyu's hand and prepared to walk to the teahouse, "Let's go in first, sit down and talk slowly."
"Zhangzhu!" Ning Yu, who arrived later, came over and greeted,
Jiang Xingyu returned the salute to Ning Yu Fushen, "Hello, Brother Ning."
"Where's Si Xing? Didn't you come here with Zhang Zhu?" Ning Yu asked, not seeing Jiang Xingchang's car.
Jiang Xingyu explained: "My fourth brother and I are living in Qifu these days. Fourth brother went home last night and came from Jiangfu this morning. Therefore, we are not together."
"Oh, I see!"
"Sir, it's the Lu family's car." Yun Xing saw the Lu family's car and said to Ning Yu.
At the door. Lu Pengfei got out of the car and saw Ning Yu and others in the courtyard. He walked over with a smile, "I thought I was early, but I didn't expect you to be earlier than me."
Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu greeted Lu Pengfei and Lu Pengfei returned the favor.
After chatting for a while, Ning Wei said: "Go in first, otherwise it will be really blocked."
A group of people walked into the teahouse, and shopkeeper Liu greeted them with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lu, Mr. Ning, hello, Miss, Miss Ning, our fourth master is waiting for you at Youranju. Please invite some of the younger ones to come."
Shopkeeper Liu raised his hands and asked a series of hello questions, bowed and let everyone go inside.
The group of people went to Youran House on the second floor.
Ning Wei turned around and asked, "Uncle Wei, which room are we booking?"
Wei Yuan leaned forward and replied: "Miss, we booked Tao Ranju."
Jiang Xingyu asked: "Do you need to book a room to come to Lelezhai? Really, Ah Wei, you don't know who belongs to Lelezhai?"
Jiang Xingyu said: "I know, Fourth Brother Jiang's property."
Jiang Xingyu said: "I know you still made a reservation? There are two rooms in Lehuizhai that are not open to the public. One is my brother's Youran Residence, and the other is my Yiran Residence.
Later, the second brother Ning and the second brother Lu came to Lezhai and went to his brother's leisurely residence.
When Awei came to Lelezhai, she went to my Yiranju. All the Lelezhai in the capital have Youranju and Yiranju."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xingyu said to Shopkeeper Liu: "Evacuate Tao Ranju's house. Later, Ah Wei came over and took her directly to Yiranju."
Shopkeeper Liu leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand."
Ning Wei wanted to say no, but Lu Pengfei said first: "Our palm is bold and the most generous. Brother Lu likes it. Brother Lu thanks in advance."
Lu Pengfei started, and it seemed bad for her to say polite words again, so she had to say: "Thank you very much."
Jiang Xingchang came out after receiving the letter, and the two sides met again, and exchanged greetings and greetings.
After entering Youran Residence, Jiang Xingyu led Ning Wei inside, "Fourth brother, you guys are talking outside, while Ah Wei and I are talking in the back room."
Jiang Xingchang smiled and said: "Take good care of Ah Wei."
"I don't have to." Jiang Xingyu replied while pulling Ning Wei inside.
"The designs of Youranju and Yiranju are the same. They both open up three large rooms to create a hall for banquets, a small reception room and a study room. This is the reception room, and this one is
It’s the study room.”
Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei around and said, "From now on, if Ah Weiruo gets tired from shopping, she will go in and have a rest as soon as she sees Lele Zhai. You can lie down on the soft couch in the living room."
Jiang Xingyu closed the door of the living room and sat down on the soft couch. "I personally selected this soft couch. How about it? Is it soft enough?"
Jiang Xingyu pressed the soft couch with his hand, looked at Ning Wei and asked.
Ning Wei touched the soft couch and nodded: "Well, it's very soft and comfortable."
Jiang Xingyu asked: "Ah Wei, where have you been these days?"
There was a knock on the door, "Miss, please bring tea."
Jiang Xingyu said: "Come in."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Xingyu's maid Hanmei came in with fruit tea.
After Hanmei put the tea on the table, Jiang Xingyu said, "Step back. I'll call you if I need anything."
Hanmei bowed her knees and left the reception room.
After Hanmei closed the door, Jiang Xingyu asked: "Ah Wei, where have you been these days?"
Ning Wei took the tea handed over by Jiang Xingyu and replied: "I went to Baoen Temple and stayed there for more than ten days. I just came back from Baoen Temple last night."
"Have you lived here for so long? Banning Yuanwailang?"
Jiang Xingyu had heard about Ning Guangyan. Because of this, she went to Mingyuan to look for Ning Wei.
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, I'm worried that if Ning Guangyan comes to ask for mercy, my grandmother will relent and move back. What about you? Didn't you go to Qiuhuang? Why are you back again?"
Jiang Xingyu sighed, "On the way to the paddock that day, I received a letter that my grandmother was critically ill. My aunt and second brother immediately sent me back."
Ning Wei straightened up and asked, "How is Mrs. Yu?"
Jiang Xingyu shook his head, "No, even though I survived that day, I spent more time sleeping and less time waking up these days. The imperial doctor said it's just these days."
Ning Wei consoled her: "Zhangzhu, you have to be more open-minded. No one can escape birth, old age, illness and death."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "I don't care, I just feel very sad when I see my grandma looking so sick and weak."
As he spoke, Jiang Xingyu burst into tears.
Ning Wei moved towards Jiang Xingyu, put his arms around her shoulders, let her lean on his shoulders, and said softly: "Seeing our dearest relatives lying on the bed, but we can't do anything, it's so helpless
It’s very suffocating.”
Jiang Xingyu's tears kept flowing down, and he nodded: "Awei, that feeling is really uncomfortable. If possible, I would rather feel the pain on my grandma's behalf."
Ning Wei took out a handkerchief and wiped Jiang Xingyu's tears: "Silly girl, if you feel pain for Mrs. Yu, how heartbroken will the old lady be?
Mrs. Yu loves you so much, she must not want you to feel sorry for her.
Knowing that Mrs. Yu's time is running out, let her leave happily. Xing Yu, what is the happiest thing about Mrs. Yu?"
Jiang Xingyu was a little stunned, and then said: "Grandma likes to see the whole family happy... Ah Wei, I know what to do. Thank you!"
