Ning Yan ran from the kitchen into the side room carrying a casserole, and happened to bump into Shen Qiuning arranging dishes at the table.
This gave him an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
I didn't expect that the fairy who never touched the spring water would also have such a homely side.
"I have stewed this pot of soup for nearly an hour, and added Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica sinensis, etc., just in time to regulate your Qi and blood."
Ning Yan said as she helped Shen Qiuning fill a large bowl, "Be careful, it's a bit hot."
"I will do it myself from now on."
Shen Qiuning said this, but she took the porcelain bowl with both hands honestly. She looked at the mist rising on the surface of the bowl, and with a gentle breath, the hot chicken soup instantly dropped to a temperature that could be eaten.
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting that this was a fantasy world.
It's a pity that the classic scene in the novel where the heroine is sick in bed and the hero tastes the temperature with his mouth before feeding the porridge has no chance to be reproduced.
No, no, what on earth was I expecting...
The tip of Shen Qiuning's nose twitched slightly, then she picked up the porcelain bowl and took a small sip, a bright color flashed in her eyes.
The soup was so delicious that her tongue almost swallowed it.
Ning Yan was helping her dismantle the chicken in the pot, and the two chopsticks made the tiger angry.
The bright moonlight shines in from the window and mixes with the candlelight. The noise coming from the street and the chirping of insects complement each other.
The small house is filled with smoke and smoke.
Shen Qiuning was in a trance for a moment.
This is a life she has never experienced in the past thirty years.
However, it’s not bad...
By the way, why is this guy so quiet today?
Shen Qiuning stopped her chopsticks and looked up to find Ning Yan holding a bowl in a daze.
Ning Yan is still thinking about what happened during the day.
Regarding Chai Ruru's proposal, he only said that he would go back and consider it again.
In fact, he wanted to refuse directly at first. After all, he had just plotted against Prince Rui's Mansion and harbored the key criminal they named.
For both emotions and reasons, we should keep a low profile for a while before talking.
But when he heard about the location of the competition, he couldn't help but feel shaken.
Five days later, the ban on Yanliu Lane will be lifted, and the Mingzhou Civil and Military Competition will be held on the canal's boat.
At that time, King Rui Guo Kan and various dignitaries will all be present, and many important places must be cleared. Without a suitable identity, it may be difficult to sneak in.
If you want to find the treasure mentioned in the system, this may be a good opportunity.
Ning Yan always pays attention to making decisions before taking action. He is not sure whether the so-called treasure is worth taking such a high risk. After all, the system has fooled him more than once or twice. If he is not careful, he should have died of "My destiny" long ago. I can’t help myself.
This bitch usually talks a lot, but how come he transforms into the Riddler at a critical moment!
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Ning Yan was silent for a long time, Shen Qiuning asked a question out of nowhere, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Why do you care about him?
Ning Yan woke up from her deep contemplation and blinked narrowly: "Are you concerned about me?"
"Stop being so sentimental!" Shen Qiuning's pretty face sank and she denied: "I was just wondering if I brought you any trouble by living here."
"How could it be possible? I wish you could live here every day." Ning Yan said subconsciously. The next second he saw Shen Qiuning was so annoyed that she was about to lift the table, so she quickly added: "I mean you teach me martial arts every day." and practice, I can’t ask for more.”
"Huh, that's what I mean!"
"Oh yes, there is one more thing..."
Ning Yan muttered something, but after being interrupted by her, he remembered that he had something else to do. He got up and walked out the door. Not long after, he came in again holding a long wooden box.
"Open it and take a look."
Shen Qiuning opened the lid with doubts and saw two long swords, one green and one white, lying quietly in the wooden box.
She picked up one of them and weighed it in her hand, an unexpected expression flashed across her face.
Just from the weight, you can tell that the material of this sword is definitely not ordinary refined iron.
Shen Qiuning held the hilt of the sword and slowly pulled it out, revealing the entire sword in front of her eyes.
The blade of the sword is about two fingers wide and is covered with hundreds of forged patterns. The edge of the sword is so cold that when you flick it with your fingers, there is a sound of a dragon roaring.
Although it is not as good as her original sword, it is still a rare and top-quality one.
"Where did this come from?"
"Of course I bought it."
"Where did you get so much money?!"
When the two of them chatted about each other, Shen Qiuning had a rough idea of Ning Yan's situation.
Except for real estate, he is just an ordinary accountant.
The monthly silver is only twenty taels, which is not even enough to buy a sword hilt.
Ning Yan said proudly: "The trading house is about to be renovated. I wanted to reward Shopkeeper Liu of Yuzi Hang for a good fortune, but I didn't know that he saw me as a young man and dared to ask for an exorbitant price..."
After that, there were terms such as capital reserve, low-value and easy-to-consumer amortization that she didn’t understand.
Seeing the man in front of her talking, Shen Qiuning held her chin with one hand and listened with interest for some reason.
After hearing his nonsense, Shen Qiuning concluded with a strange expression: "Does that mean you asked for nearly 800 taels of filial piety from that shopkeeper Liu?"
"It's not filial piety, it's because he wanted to take kickbacks but I found out, and he chose to give it voluntarily due to his uneasy conscience!" Ning Yan said dissatisfied: "How can you taint someone's innocence for no reason!"
Shen Qiuning couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed so hard that her branches trembled.
Shopkeeper Liu is really short-sighted, and he just messed with such a little fox.
Smiling, she suddenly realized that Ning Yan was staring at her quietly. She felt a little embarrassed in her heart. She slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't look!"
Ning Yan hurriedly looked away and whispered in a low voice: "It would be nice if you smiled more in the future."
Shen Qiuning bit her lips and hummed from the tip of her nose: "It has nothing to do with you."
For a moment, both of them fell into silence.
"Well, what are your plans next?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ning Yan changed the subject.
"As soon as I recover from my injuries, I will leave for Gyeonggi Province immediately." Mentioning this, Shen Qiuning felt a little depressed: "Except for me, perhaps no one can redress the injustice of those comrades who sacrificed their lives."
Ning Yan was slightly stunned. By the way, she had been living at home and didn't know the news that Luo Bai and Wu Tang were still alive.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Yan's lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing: "It's nothing."
With her current situation, it's not the right time yet...
He didn't ask Shen Qiuning what the secret was.
I am still...too weak!
Outside the house, the noise gradually dissipated, and Ning Yan suddenly said: "How about you teach me another sword technique."
"Swordsmanship is not something you can talk about, it must be practiced."
"Then you and I will spar and let me feel it for myself."
Shen Qiuning hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then."
Ning Yan stroked his palm and said, "Just one for each person. Do you want autumn water or frost?"
"What kind of autumn water condenses frost?!"
This sentence made this beautiful woman suddenly excited and her eyes widened.
"The name of the sword." Ning Yan said inexplicably: "It can't be called Blue and White Double Swords, that would be too vulgar."
"But why did you choose these two names..."
"Don't you think it's both appropriate and elegant?" Ning Yan tilted her head and asked, "Or have you thought of something else?"
Shen Qiuning was about to have an attack, but then she thought about it. Wouldn't that make her feel guilty?
What if he really didn't think that way...
After much hesitation, she resisted the urge to blow Ning Yan's dog's head off with one palm, gritted her teeth and said, "Then I want... Ningshuang!"
"Okay, the autumn water is mine."
The two of them each came to the center of the courtyard with swords in hand and started their formation.
Ning Yan had never learned any swordsmanship before, so he could only rely on impressions from movies and TV shows to create a starting move that he thought was reliable.
Shen Qiuning doesn't have so many fancy moves. With a sword in hand, her temperament suddenly changes!
At this moment, Ning Yan's hair stood on end, and a strong sense of oppression forced him to retreat step by step.
So...so strong!
He felt like a small boat drifting in the sea, and he might be swallowed by the huge waves at any time!
"The sword technique I am going to teach you next originated from three hundred years ago. It was created by a peak fourth-grade swordsman who observed the tidal changes. He is a high-grade Xuan-level swordsman and is named..."
