After returning home, Mo Sanniang was still awake. When she saw him coming back, she asked, "Liu Xian, is Xi Yue okay?"
Chen Jianchen replied: "The child is well. I comforted her and nothing happened." In fact, this sentence should be reversed to be more consistent with the truth. However, some things belong to the privacy of two people and cannot be made public.
"That's good."
Mo Sanniang sighed.
She liked the smart Lu Xiyue very much, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to arrange a marriage proposal for her son. Unexpectedly, this incident happened out of thin air, and a haze appeared inexplicably. If you don't worry, you would be lying:
"how about you?"
Chen Jianchen was startled: "What can happen to the child?"
Mo Sanniang said: "That evil person is an official."
The word "official" is so majestic that it has been weighing on the heads of ordinary people for thousands of years. It has accumulated prestige for countless years and has been deeply imprinted in their hearts. They dare not offend it easily.
Chen Jianchen smiled and said: "Mother is worrying too much. The child has the reputation of being a scholar. Even if he is an official, he cannot easily do anything. Besides, Master Xuezheng recommended the child to enter the Imperial College. If anything happens, he will not sit idly by. Reasonable."
He told the truth, but more importantly, he wanted to appease his mother's emotions. In fact, some things are far more complicated than they appear on the surface. It is difficult to explain clearly in a few words. It is better not to explain, so as to prevent the mother from worrying even more.
Master Xuezheng's face was indeed big enough, and Mo Sanniang showed a relaxed expression: "That's good..." After chatting some more, Chen Jianchen went back to the study.
Ying Ning was in the study, and Abao was originally there, but she knew that after Chen Jianchen came back, he first came out to see the gift, and then went to cook supper.
The midnight snack is three bowls of chicken porridge with a few chopped green onions sprinkled on top, which is delicious.
There were three bowls of porridge, one for Chen Jianchen, one for A Bao himself, and one for Ying Ning. All three ate it in a hurry, especially Ying Ning, who ate it quickly. In the end, not a grain of rice was left, and he was eager to eat. Looking at Chen Jianchen, he seemed to still want to eat.
"No, here you go."
What Chen Jianchen handed over was a chicken leg, which was not big and somewhat slender. Yingning immediately smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, he took it unceremoniously and put it into his mouth.
"Brother Liuxian..."
Abao was a little anxious - these chicken legs were specially set aside by her to replenish Chen Jianchen's body, so how could she just give them to Ying Ning?
Regarding the relationship between Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning, Abao has long felt a little strange. At first, he thought it was because Brother Liuxian was an easy-going person and didn't put on airs. However, no matter how approachable he is, the master is still the master, and the book boy is after all Shutong, how can you be so friendly to me?
Chen Jianchen waved his hand and said, "Ah Bao, it's time for me to tell you some things. Well, can you keep it a secret?"
Abao was shocked. He felt that Brother Liuxian had never spoken to him so solemnly before. A feeling of trust rushed into his head, and he immediately said: "Brother Liuxian, I will definitely keep the secret, even if you kill me, I will keep it secret." explain."
Hearing what she said so interestingly, Chen Jianchen burst into laughter: "It doesn't have to be so grand. In fact, this secret is related to Ying Ning's identity."
Well……
The little fox's ears perked up and he looked over curiously.
Abao felt even more puzzled, scratched his head and asked, "Ying Ning's identity?"
When Chen Jianchen brought Ying Ning back, he made up an excuse, saying that Ying Ning was a poor orphan whose parents had died and had no home. It was very sad and touching. Is there another mystery behind it?
Chen Jianchen paused for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, Yingning is a girl just like you."
After some careful consideration, he felt that it would be better to tell some facts and be honest, so that there would be no need to cover up in the future, or it would cause inexplicable misunderstandings.
"female?"
Po covered his mouth in surprise, fearing he would scream.
Over there, Yingning immediately understood what the young master meant. He stood up and used some tricks, and some wonderful changes occurred in his body.
The height is still as high, but the waist is thinner, the scale of the mountains flashes on the chest, the face is softer, the fair and clean face is revealed, the eyes are like water, and there is a charming look in the eyes, although it is extremely restrained
, but it adds a fascinating charm.
The turban on his head is pulled open, and his hair is as long as a waterfall. Isn’t he a pretty and lovely person?
Po was dumbfounded when he saw it: the handsome little book boy suddenly transformed into a little girl about the same age as himself, about fourteen or five years old. It was like a magic trick.
She looked at Yingning up and down, left and right, many thoughts passing through her mind, and all the doubts she had felt before were resolved: Yingning is not only a girl, but also an extremely beautiful girl. Although she looks about the same age as herself,
Almost the same, but the body seems to be fully grown, and the whole body is filled with an indescribable charm.
This kind of charm is purely natural and does not require any pretense at all. It is revealed naturally with a casual gesture.
No wonder Brother Liuxian is so close to her, it turns out that...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Abao felt inexplicable sadness and bitterness well up in his heart.
Chen Jianchen seemed to see through her mood at the moment, coughed dryly, and said: "Abao, Ying Ning is not an ordinary girl. She knows magic and has been responsible for protecting me."
ah?
Unbelievable news was released one after another, and Abao's little mind couldn't bear it and couldn't react.
Ying Ning smiled brightly, walked over and took Ah Bao's hand: "Ah Bao, don't listen to the young master's nonsense... The young master is Ying Ning's savior. Without him, I would have been eaten by wolves."
As she said that, she immediately remembered the scene in Fengshan when she was being chased by the vicious wolf demon. If she had not met Chen Jianchen at that time, or if Chen Jianchen had not come forward, there was a high chance that she would have been eaten by the wolf demon.
The more Abao listened, the more confused he became, and it was difficult to figure out the story between them. So Yingning organized his thoughts and told the general story.
Of course, it also went through certain changes. The identity of the little fox that had not yet condensed the golden elixir and could not be transformed was replaced.
If Abao knew that she was transformed by a vixen, I'm afraid he would faint on the spot. After all, people's ability to accept things has a certain range. If it is exceeded too much, it will often lead to unbearable consequences.
After half the payment, Abao suddenly asked: "Did Brother Liuxian say you know magic?"
Ying Ning replied: "It's just a little bit...didn't I say that? I went out to collect herbs under the orders of my master, and unexpectedly encountered a hungry wolf. At that time, my cultivation was very weak and I couldn't defeat him."
Abao finally understood it somewhat, slowly digesting the details, and then asked: "Brother Liuxian, can't your godmother know about this?"
Chen Jianchen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about it for now, lest mother will have random thoughts again."
The little book boy who always accompanied her son, making beds, sharpening ink and giving pens, suddenly turned into a woman. It was strange that Mo Sanniang didn't think much about it.
Yingning suddenly said: "Sir, Yingning thinks it's time to talk to Madam. I feel bad for deceiving her like this."
"Um."
Chen Jianchen thought for a while and felt that what Ying Ning said was reasonable. In fact, as long as the main content related to the identity of the vixen was concealed, it was not too important whether Mo Sanniang knew other things.
Now that you have decided to confess, you should strike while the iron is hot and go straight to Mo Sanniang's room to ask An Kai to speak.
At this time, Mo Sanniang was still awake and was sitting on a chair doing needlework. When she heard the truth about Ying Ning being a girl and saw her true face, she was naturally surprised for a while. But strangely enough, she
On the contrary, his ability to accept things was better than that of Abao, and he soon said reproachfully: "You young people just love to mess around and do such weird things."
Chen Jianchen broke out in a sweat: "I'm telling my mother, since Ying Ning is a book boy and stays with the child, if he doesn't disguise himself as a man, he will probably cause a lot of trouble."
Mo Sanniang smiled and said, "I just blame you for not telling the truth. Actually, there is nothing to hide. Knowing that Yingning and Abao are both girls, I will only be happier as a mother."
A pair of eyes kept looking at Ying Ning, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He thought to himself: I thought my son was only focused on studying and had no time to talk about personal affairs between men and women. But now it seems that his red sleeves are more fragrant and he is blessed. Well, Ying Ning has always been
Accompanying their son, could it be that they have...
Thinking of this, Mother Chen didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, she was filled with joy. Her eyes on the little fox immediately escalated to her eyes on the daughter-in-law.
——In this ancient social world, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. This does not mean that this is right, but that the national conditions are such. The reason why a man only marries one wife is not because he is dedicated, but because he has no
I don’t have the financial means to marry more than one family.
Of course, there are exceptions, and there are also some exemplary deeds of loyalty that have been passed down to the world, but they are really rare and cannot change the mainstream rules.
Therefore, in Mo Sanniang's eyes, Chen Jianchen was able to win the favor of many women because of his ability as a son. What's more, both Lu Xiyue and Ying Ning have stunning looks, just like the fairies in the paintings, they are very flattering.
People like it, what else can there be to be dissatisfied about having such a young girl as your wife?
So with a smile, he took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and said, "Yingning, this is a meeting gift I give you. Although it is not very expensive, it is still considered a thoughtful gift. If you don't dislike it, I will call you "Ying Ning" in the future.
I’m a mother-in-law.”
"mother!"
Ying Ning cried out naturally - she was originally an uncivilized little fox, living a ignorant life in the mountains and forests, hungry for wild fruits and thirsty for water. Later, by chance, she accidentally obtained Taoism and enlightened her.
He became a demon, but he always yearned for the life in the world of mortals, so he studied hard on his own, read and learned literature.
During this process, Ying Ning was very envious of the warm atmosphere of ordinary people's homes. She always imagined that she would also have parents and sisters, and the whole family would be reunited, eating, working, playing and laughing, and having fun.
