The rising sun is rising in the east, and the golden glow shines on the melon stand hanging with dewdrops, and the stars are crystal clear.
In the spotless courtyard, the neat sounds of chopping vegetables echoed:
Dong dong dong...
The stunningly beautiful woman in a green thin shirt stood gracefully in front of the kitchen window, with the golden sun shining on her cheeks. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were particularly enchanting. After putting the chopped garlic sprouts into the porcelain plate, she raised her eyes to look at the rising sky in the distance.
sun.
There are three houses in the old courtyard. I cook every day, plant flowers and plants, and wait for my husband... No, I wait for my son and daughter to come back. There are no swords and swords in the world, only leisure and tranquility...
This may be the life of ordinary people. Ordinary people have long been tired of it, but people in the world can only dream of it...
Step, step, step...
In a blink of an eye, soft footsteps appeared outside the courtyard, and it sounded like Yunli's voice.
Luo Ning retracted her mind and looked around, only to see Yunli, dressed as a girl next door, running back from outside, climbed over the wall and landed in the yard, feeling a little anxious:
"Master Wife, I'm sorry, I was walking around the street just now and bumped into Protector Zhang..."
"Um?"
When Luo Ning heard this, she slapped the kitchen knife in her hand.
The Protector Zhang mentioned by Yun Li is named "Nanshan Iron Gua" Zhang Henggu. He is a young Taoist boy in the Qin Tianjian of Dayan. When the previous dynasty was destroyed, he fled to Nanxiao Mountain with the Dayan royal family. After experiencing many ups and downs, he is now
One of the four great protectors of the Pingtian Sect, the founding father, even the leader of the Pingtian Sect has to be called Master Uncle.
Now that she suddenly came to the capital, the only thing left was for Pingtian Cult Leader to speak and ask her to return to Nanxiao Mountain.
Luo Ning thought about it for a while, walked out of the kitchen and asked:
"Where is Protector Zhang?"
"Arrange a way out of the capital at the east gate and ask me to come over and invite Master's Wife. He said that the Zhou family's birthday party is coming soon. All the Zhou family's posts have been sent. Master's wife's sword was made with the help of the Zhou family. It needs to be there, otherwise people in the world will say something about Master's Wife.
Ungrateful, forgetting old friends after marrying into a wealthy family..."
When Luo Ning was still the 'Toad Palace Goddess', she went around looking for masters to avenge her family. She once went to Shuiyun Sword Pool. Although she didn't learn swordsmanship, relying on her 'famous' reputation in the world, the Zhou family still made a favor.
I made her the famous weapon 'Weeping Water Sword' on her waist.
Later, she married into the Pingtian Sect and became the leader's wife. This favor was naturally attributed to the Pingtian Sect. The Zhou family didn't ask her to return it, but she really couldn't forget it.
"Didn't Old Mrs. Zhou celebrate her birthday in the middle of next month? It's not like I can't explain it. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Hufa Zhang said that at this birthday banquet, there may be friction between the Zhou family and Honghua House. You are likely to be involved in it if you are present. Master will discuss countermeasures with you and ask you to go back."
Luo Ning's original plan was to take a boat directly from the capital to Zhou's house in a few days. The distance was not that far anyway, and then come back after a formality to continue working on Qiu Tianhe's affairs.
Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning and glanced at the food being heated in the pot:
"The matter of rescuing Qiu Tianhe has already begun..."
Zhe Yunli patted the poached egg on his chest:
"Don't worry, Master. I have already told Protector Zhang about the situation. I will stay in the capital to accompany Cousin Jing. Protector Zhang accepts to secretly control the situation. You can go back without worries..."
?
Luo Ning's eyes turned cold and she looked at Zhe Yunli seriously:
"Nonsense! How can I rest assured that you have a reckless personality and are left alone in the capital?"
Zhe Yunli blinked: "Protector Zhang will protect me secretly. Protector Zhang is much more powerful than my wife..."
"That's not OK."
Luo Ning either didn't leave or left together. How could she leave Yunli in front of Ye Jingtang? With the temper of that shameless little thief, Xiao Yunli might be pregnant when she comes back...
Luo Ning thought about it for a while and then walked back to the kitchen:
"Yejingtang is very talented. When Protector Zhang sees it, he will definitely try his best to bring it to Nanxiao Mountain..."
"Isn't this nice?"
"What's so good? We, the Pingtian Sect, are not bandits. Ye Jingtang's ambition is to be in the officialdom. I can do my best to help him. Is it fair for us to force him to become a bandit?"
Zhe Yunli pouted and wanted to say something, but it was not easy to refute.
"Run quickly, it only takes more than half a month to go back and forth... I will tell the Night Terror Hall later. The Night Terror Hall values chivalry. If we leave, we will also help save Chou Tianhe. We can come back in a few days."
Zhe Yunli didn't believe it: "We are all gone, why should Cousin Jing risk beheading to help us save people?"
"..."
Luo Ning opened her mouth, but couldn't find a reason, so she could only say calmly:
"Master Wife will advise him carefully. You go and prepare with Protector Zhang first. I will come back later."
"All right……"
Zhe Yunli had no choice but to turn around and leave quickly...

Pei family.
Honghua Building is very large and has a lot of affairs. Just introducing the situation of various industries took the eight incense owners a long time.
Ye Jingtang was also listening, but he didn't take it to heart. He was helping the Pei family with things. He could just help Sanniang if she had something to do, and he wasn't trying to make a fortune for the family. It would be useless to remember it in too much detail.
By the time the Qinglong Hall meeting ended and all the incense masters left the tunnel, it was already noon.
Ye Jingtang crawled out of Sanniang's bed and fell into the boudoir. He heard a soft sound of "ta da da da..." coming from the door - the sound of claws kicking the door.
Ye Jingtang opened the door, and saw that the courtyard was silent. The birds, which had been left hanging outside the door for a long time, turned their heads and looked away when they saw him, making a little show of "valuing color over birds, I don't want to talk to you."
Pei Xiangjun came out of the curtain, and his demeanor changed to that of a gentle and gentle little woman. He came to the Night Terror Hall, held the frustrated Bird in his arms, and praised:
"It's different when a man is the head of the family. These incense owners are the elders of the family, and they are all loyal. But when they see me growing up, they always regard me as a junior in their hearts, and it's not easy for me to preach. You are here to give me a lesson today.
If they behave themselves, it will be much easier to talk in the future."
Ye Jingtang used to feel ecstatic when he saw Sanniang's adoring eyes, but after discovering that Sanniang is the 'Red God of Wealth', his feelings changed instantly.
You, the majestic female head of Honghua Mansion, a famous tycoon in the world, and a beautiful girl who pretends to be pitiful and begging for protection in front of me?
But being worshiped by a strong woman seems to make people feel even more elated...
Ye Jingtang was a little confused, thought for a while and responded:
"It's just my job. I hope Sanniang doesn't mind. It's getting late, so I'll go back first and come back tomorrow morning to listen to Sanniang's arrangements."
"You are now a young man, and you live outside and see more people. Your aunt has tidied up the east wing. You can live at home from now on."
"The Pei family is all female. I am a man with a foreign surname. Living at home will inevitably lead to rumors. Ranfang Street is not far from here. Sanniang can send someone to say hello at any time if she has arrangements."
Pei Xiangjun pinned all her hopes of revitalizing Honghua House on Ye Jingtang, so she naturally wanted to stay with him and spend time together to cultivate feelings. However, because Ye Jingtang was so insistent, she couldn't force her to stay, so she had to say:
"I don't need your help with the Tianshui Bridge matter. The most important thing for you at the moment is to go to Juyi Building in a few days and help me suppress the hall masters. You go back to rest first, and I will work on the marksmanship later.
teach you."
With that said, Pei Xiangjun walked to the dressing table, opened the small drawer, and took out a pile of banknotes, which seemed to be pocket money for Ye Jingtang.
Judging from the denomination of the banknote, one payment is worth millions!
When Ye Jingtang saw this scene, he felt what it felt like to be cared for by a beautiful and rich woman.
But as an upright and upright man, he would definitely not take gifts other than wages, so he handed over his hands and said:
"I'm leaving first. Sanniang should have a rest early."
He went straight out the door.
"Why?"
Just as Pei Xiangjun took out the banknote, he saw Ye Jingtang and Bird Bird leaving in a hurry, his eyes were quite helpless...
