The next day, a grand palace banquet was held. Everyone who went on the expedition this time, regardless of their military rank, was invited. Ning Yu and others even joined forces and booked the best restaurant in the capital for a day. No matter who came, they could eat and drink for free. , all the expenses were reimbursed by them, which was regarded as having fun with the people.
However, because of the lessons learned from Hyun before, senior officials were not included.
Ning Sheng had a grimace on his face and looked at Ning Fang with sad eyes:
"Stingy! Not as domineering as your wife!"
Ning Fang was speechless, Ning Sheng became more and more childish.
After attending the palace banquet, Huang Yan took the packaged letter and went home to see his grandfather. However, he ran back within a few days. Not knowing who to look for, he rushed to Prince Yi's Mansion to look for Ning Cheng.
As soon as Ning Cheng appeared in the front hall, Huang Fu rushed towards him crying:
"Xiao Yi Wang, my grandfather is missing again!"
Ning Cheng was stunned:
"Isn't Old General Huang at home?"
Huang Yan said with runny nose and tears:
"After my brother's incident, grandpa went home and arranged family matters for the housekeeper, and he never went back. Grandpa couldn't think about it..."
Ning Cheng quickly interrupted him:
"No, no, no, General Huang can't, don't think about it."
After much deliberation, I pulled Huang Sui out:
"Go find my parents."
However, in the eyes of others, this scene looked a bit strange: Ning Cheng was walking in front, holding Huang Fu who was crying with runny nose and tears. Why was it a little... uh, it seemed to feel pretty good.
Ning Fang is now semi-retired. From time to time, he goes to the palace to play chess with Ning Sheng. Sometimes Ning Min also goes there. The three of them can play chess, calligraphy and painting together for a whole day.
Because there is no harem in the harem, well, the harem in the front refers to the name, and the harem in the back refers to the women. Therefore, when Ning Cheng and other royal family members enter the harem, they only need to give an announcement. There are not many rules to abide by.
When Ning Cheng pulled the crying Huang Sheng and stood in front of Ning Sheng and the others, the three of them were stunned.
Ning Min stammered and asked Ning Cheng:
"You, you, you bullied Huang Sui?"
Ning Cheng was stunned, turned to look at Huang Yan, and then looked at the hands the two held together, shuddered, and hurriedly let go:
"That, that, he...oh, yes, Old General Huang is missing again!"
The three people exclaimed in unison:
"Gone again?!"
Ning Fang asked Huang Sui:
"Could it be that General Huang has gone somewhere?"
Huang Yan twitched and said:
"The housekeeper said that grandpa didn't say anything. He arranged things at home, took some changes of clothes and some money, and then never went back."
Ning Sheng spoke without thinking:
"You won't be kidnapped by someone again!"
Ning Min was stunned and hurriedly punched Ning Sheng. Ning Sheng finally came to his senses and realized that he shouldn't have said that. However, Huang Min didn't pay attention to this at this time. He shook his head and couldn't explain why.
Ning Fang stood up and said:
"It's useless for us to worry here. We have to send someone to find him quickly."
As soon as Ning Sheng heard that Huang Mi was missing, he remembered the way Huang Mi was supported by Xun and Ning Yan. His heart trembled. He stood up and wanted to go with him, but Ning Min stopped him:
"Father, just wait for the news here. Leave this kind of hard work to us."
Ning Feng also stopped him:
"I don't know how old I am anymore? You still want to follow us around."
Ning Sheng no longer bothered to argue with Ning Yu and said to them:
"Okay, okay, I'll wait here. If you have any news, you have to report it. Don't let me think about it."
When the news was released, Wang Bi jumped up first and hurriedly called for people to come and look for him. However, not everyone can do this kind of thing. Without experience and connections, he was a headless fly. So, Wang Bi looked for someone. Go, it's all in vain.
Ning Yan was so anxious that he had blisters on his mouth. Jiang Jie made him some chrysanthemum tea. Ning Yan took a sip and asked Jiang Jie:
"Tell me, where can Old General Huang go? Now that Ning Hao is gone, who will imprison Old General Huang?"
Jiang Jie sat next to him, hugged his arm and said:
"Don't think the worst about everything. General Huang must have gone out to relax. He lost his son back then and now he has lost a grandson. He must be very sad."
Ning Yan sighed:
"You haven't seen the miserable state of Old General Huang when you found him. Such a powerful general usually had a majestic and majestic voice, but when you found him, he was all out of shape. Later, Huang Jun disappeared, and Old General It’s as if the energy has been drained away, which makes people feel distressed just looking at it.”
Jiang Yan leaned on Ning Yan's shoulder, offering silent comfort.
After a while, Jiang Jie asked:
"Have you told Xi? He knows many people. Maybe someone has seen Old General Huang."
Ning Yan punched his fist into his palm:
"Yeah, forget about that kid!"
He immediately sent someone to deliver the news to him, and soon the news came back - Huang Mi was at Ning Shen's place.
Huang Mi's disappearance caused a stir in the capital. However, after receiving the news so easily, everyone felt that something had been made out of a fuss.
At Ning Sheng's strong request, Ning Feng, Hyun, Ning Cheng and others took Ning Sheng to the village where Ning Sheng lived. However, because Ning Sheng did not want the villagers to know his identity, everyone wore civilian clothes. clothes and rented a creaking carriage.
Before the carriage stopped, they heard something wrong in the house. Everyone got off the carriage and saw Wen Huai lying on a pile of dry branches in the yard, basking in the sun with his legs crossed. Ning Hui and Huang Mi were nowhere to be seen.
Wen Huai didn't expect them to come, so he opened his eyes wide open. After seeing everyone, he hurriedly sat up and made sure it was them. He jumped up and was ready to salute them.
Hyun hurriedly signaled to him to be quiet. Like thieves, the group of people tiptoed and walked carefully to the door. Wen Huai looked a little doubtful whether he was still asleep today:
Which of these people is not a well-known presence in Kunyu Kingdom? Why, how could they behave in such a childish way? I must still be sleeping!
Everyone walked to the door and leaned against the door to listen. It was Ning Shu and Huang Mi who were arguing. Ning Shu said angrily:
"Am I wrong to tell them? You are such an old man, why don't you tell your family where you are going?"
Huang Mi refused to admit his mistake and said:
"What are you talking about? Where I go is my business, what does it have to do with them?"
Ning Xi was so angry that he almost vomited blood:
"You can go wherever you like. No one can control you. But you should at least tell your family and see that Huang Sheng is looking for you everywhere. Fortunately, you are here with me. If you were elsewhere, I don't know where to look for you."
Huang Yan from outside rushed in. Before he could speak, tears fell down:
"Grandpa!"
The two people in the room were stunned when they saw the crowd of people surrounding the door. Huang Mi was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Huang Mi rushed over and relieved his embarrassment.
Patting Huang Nai who was crying while holding him in his arms:
"You are so old, and you still cry! Isn't it embarrassing?"
Huang Yan cried and twitched:
"When I went home, grandpa was not here. I thought grandpa was also... Grandpa, you can't scare us anymore. My sister and brother-in-law are also crazy. I even brought you a subtitle from the battlefield. I thought I was going to burn Here you go."
As he spoke, he took off the wrapped words from his back.
However, what he said before made Huang Mi feel sad and moved at the same time. But before he was moved, he heard that he wanted to burn the calligraphy to him, so he picked up the calligraphy and painting box and knocked on Huang Mi:
"You bastard, why don't you curse me to death?"
Huang Yan held his head and avoided it while saying:
"Who told you not to say hello to us and a living person suddenly disappeared? I can't help but think about the worst?"
Huang Mi roared angrily:
"Then why don't you think about the good things?"
Ning Sheng looked at the scene and stood up and said:
"Stop typing now, otherwise the words will be damaged."
Huang Mi paused and glanced at Huang Su.
Huang Yan said with a playful smile:
"Grandpa, look, I snatched it from Xiao Deze's grandson."
Just now, I saw that Huang Mi was very powerful, and the calligraphy and painting box kept trying to greet Huang Mi, but with no force. Huang Mi was just trying to cover up his embarrassment.
While Huang Mi read the words, Ning Hui arranged for everyone to sit down. There were no furnishings in the room. With so many people there, Ning Hui even went to the neighbor's house to borrow two benches and asked Wen Huai to come back in exchange for some food.
A group of people were eating and drinking in this small courtyard. Ning Sheng and Huang Mi, two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, were chatting and laughing, and they were very happy.
After dinner, Huang Mi asked Huang Mi to go out for a walk. Huang Mi naturally helped Huang Mi out of the door.
As soon as it gets dark, almost all the people in the village have rested. The village is very quiet. Occasionally, there is the chirping of insects and the cry of birds, which is very peaceful.
Among the two grandsons, Huang Mi prefers Huang Jiao, because Huang Jiao looks like a general. Huang Mi is not bad, but martial arts is not as good as martial arts, and literature is not as good as literature. He has read a lot of books. Among the children, Huang Mi read the most books, but none of them interested him, which made Huang Mi dislike him very much. However, Huang Mi was attentive, considerate, and very filial to Huang Mi, which made Huang Mi think highly of him. I saw Huang Jun’s shadow.
However, since Huang Jiao's accident, Huang Mi suddenly realized that living well is more important to his family than anything else. Even if Huang Jiao does nothing and stays like this all his life, he can still support him. Huang Mi can no longer support him. Bear the pain of losing a loved one.
He wanted to guard Huang Yan, but was afraid of becoming a stumbling block on his way forward, so he hid here with Ning Xi, which was not far from the capital. It was convenient for him to come and go and to inquire about news. However, he did not expect that he would still be surrounded by this person when he arrived. The boy discovered it.
The two of them walked quietly on the bumpy dirt road in the countryside. No one said anything. Huang Mi once thought that one day he could spend a quiet day with his children and grandchildren. However, he often went on expeditions before, and even if he did not go on expeditions, he would He was often stationed at the border, and later he was able to return to Beijing. His wife was gone again, and Huang Jun was kept away from home for a whole day. Later, Huang Jun could accompany him, but it was just a cold tombstone. Later He was busy raising three children again. When the children grew up, before they could enjoy family happiness, Huang Jiao was gone again.
Huang Mi felt as if he had never stopped in his life.
Suddenly he felt Huang Yan tightening his arm. He turned around and saw Huang Yan looking ahead with sad eyes:
"Grandpa, you have to live well. With you here, my sister and I can feel like we have a family."
