207. Dead time is up(1/2)

Ningjing knocked out the assassin sent by Duanmu Che and locked him up, and stopped the bleeding from his wound to prevent him from dying.

Pushing open the door of Su Liang's room, it was dark and unlit. He stood quietly at the door for a while, and could still smell the faint fragrance of herbs, which was very similar to the smell of Su Liang.

Without going in, Ningjing closed the door again, went to the kitchen to fetch water, and returned to the room to clean up the blood stains left on the floor after the assassin was dragged away.

After cleaning up, I found a few drops of blood splattered on the bed curtain and it had dried.

Ning Jing ignored it, changed the bedding, washed up and went to bed.

Early the next morning, he didn't eat anything and went to the household department on time.

Ever since Ningjing entered Hubu, the place has been filled with the refreshing fragrance of tea every day.

After handling some simple official duties, Ning Jing "got off work" and planned to have dinner at Zheng'er's house.

Unexpectedly, when he walked outside Wan's house, he saw that the door was closed. He knocked on the door and an old housekeeper came out and saluted quickly.

Ning Jing said nothing.

The old housekeeper said respectfully, "The old lady is thinking about young master Zheng'er. The eldest lady and uncle took advantage of Miss Su's absence in the capital to take the young master back to Qingyang City, but they haven't come back yet!"

In fact, Wanhui took Zheng'er to say goodbye to Ning Jing. The person she saw at that time was Qi Jun. Afraid of being spotted by the children, he lied about being caught by the cold and did not let Zheng'er get close. After a few words,

Wan Hui and Lu Yu took their children and left.

Ningjing's return last night was so sudden that Qi Jun didn't think of it.

This was also the reason why Ning Jing didn't ask, fearing that there was something he didn't understand.

"I just stopped by to take a look, sorry to bother you." Ning Jing turned around and left.

When I arrived at Wanjia Restaurant, as soon as I entered the door, I heard the shopkeeper laugh and say, "Master Ning came early today. Let's go upstairs to have a cup of tea first. The food is still the same?"

Ning Jing nodded slightly and went upstairs.

There is a problem. These days, Qi Jun pretends to be Ning Jing and comes here for dinner every day. There is a fixed private room reserved for him. The people in the restaurant assume that Ning Jing knows where to go.

Ning Jing didn't know, but he guessed that the room where Wanhui had invited them to dinner several times had the best furnishings and best views.

Sure enough, he guessed it right. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, the waiter came over to deliver hot tea.

Opening the window facing the street, Ningjing sat down by the window. He didn't drink tea, but he was really hungry. After eating the food prepared by Su Liang, he tried to fill his stomach on the way and hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon.

Already.

The four dishes and one soup are all Ningjing's favorite food. Because Qi Jun didn't dare to let himself go when he was pretending to be him, when he came, he directly said that he wanted all the dishes made by Su Liang's recipe and nothing else.



I saw Qi Jun coming home last night and learned that Ning Jing was back. After Xing Yusheng went to share the news with Lin Xueqing in the morning, the two went to the Su Mansion to find Ning Jing. They were not surprised to see no one at home, so they came to Wanjia Restaurant.

After walking in and asking, the shopkeeper said that Ning Jing was eating upstairs, so the two of them went up.

"Senior Brother Ning, can we come in?" Lin Xueqing knocked on the door outside.

A calm voice came from inside, "No."

Lin Xueqing held her forehead while Xing Yusheng had already pushed the door open.

"Why are you..." Lin Xueqing came in and realized something was wrong mid-sentence, so she quickly changed her words, "Aren't you lonely when you eat by yourself? I heard that Ajun came back last night to help Sister Su deliver a letter to you. Did Sister Su say anything about her?

When are you coming back?"

Afraid that walls have ears, Qi Jun must not mention the matter of pretending to be peaceful again.

"In another half month." Ning Jing looked calm.

Su Liang's half-month vacation has passed, but she still has to walk for seven or eight days on her way back to Beijing.

"That will be soon!" Lin Xueqing became happy, "You are getting married on the sixth day of the lunar month next month. Sister Su is always very busy and has no time. Yan Yu said that he would prepare a wedding dress for her, and I will embroider a red one for her with my own hands.

The hijab is almost ready, don’t tell her yet!”

Xing Yusheng heard about this for the first time, so she blurted out, "Where is your wedding dress?"

"Of course it has been done a long time ago." Lin Xueqing replied.

Xing Yusheng smiled happily, "I really want to see you wearing it sooner."

Lin Xueqing gave him a look, "What's the rush? Just wait."

Ning Jing, who was sitting opposite the two of them, handed over the uneaten vegetarian spring rolls.

Xing Yusheng felt strange, "You didn't think of us until you finished eating, right?" Ningping never knew how to be polite.

"Eat one and shut your mouth." Ning Jing said.

Lin Xueqing held her forehead, "Senior Brother Ning, do you dislike us so much? If Sister Su is gone, you won't dislike everyone, right? We came to visit you with good intentions!"

"He just wants to fall in love with you, you go find a place where there is no one else." Ning Jing hit the nail on the head.

Xing Yusheng coughed lightly, but this cannot be said to be wrong.

"Ah, I understand!" Lin Xueqing suddenly realized, "Senior Brother Ning, you are clearly jealous!"

Xing Yusheng nodded solemnly, "I think so! Because Su Liang is not here, he certainly doesn't like it when he sees us together."

Ning Jing glanced at them coolly, "Are you done?"

"Senior Brother Ning, you didn't even refute! I said, you must like Sister Su!" Lin Xueqing was very happy, "Oh, time is really tight. The red hijab for Sister Su has not been embroidered yet. I want to give it to you again."

You guys embroider a pair of mandarin duck pillow covers! I’ll go home and embroider right away!”

Xing Yusheng smiled and said, "Ningjing, I also have a gift for you. It is a pomegranate tree that was planted in the original garden of the palace of our family. Don't you like plants and trees? Pomegranate means many children and good fortune, so it is just right. I will give it to you in the next two or three days.

When it arrives, I will plant it directly in your house. You can choose a place when you go back today to see where it is suitable for planting."

Ning Jing nodded, "There are some vines in Zhongxinhou Mansion, I want half of them."

Xing Yusheng:...Okay, I did hear that the fruits of those grape plants are very delicious, and they were specially transplanted to the Gu family's old house in the Changxin Marquis Mansion.

"By the way, senior brother, my father told you to go to him when you have time. If I have something to tell you," Lin Xueqing said.

Ning Jing nodded slightly, "I understand."

Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing left, Ningjing finished her meal and went home.

Throughout the afternoon, Ning Jing was busy in the garden, cleaning up dead branches and leaves, pruning the branches that had grown wildly these days, loosening the soil, and watering.

Thinking that Xing Yusheng said that he would send a pomegranate tree and grape vines, Ningjing was fine. Not only did he choose a place, but he also dug a hole for the tree.

In the evening, he went to Lin Mansion.

The Lin family was preparing to have dinner. When Ning Jing arrived, they brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks. He was not polite and came to eat.

The Lin family now has two new daughters-in-law, and it is a bit more lively than before.

Ning Jing sat down and said congratulations to Lin Bojun and his wife.

Not only Lin Xueqing knew that Ning Jing and Su Liang had gone to Xuanbei City together before, Lin Bojun and Qin Yujin also knew about it, but they didn't tell Lin Shuzhi and Lin Boyan.

Now seeing Ning Jing come back, Lin Bojun breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qi Jun would be found to be fake.

"Earlier in Xuanbei City, Xiaoliang gave me a letter, which was given by Master Puqing of Ping'an Temple to his disciple Chengyun. I sent it to Huguo Temple the next day after I came back." Lin Bojun said.

"What did Chengyun say?" Ning Jing asked.

Lin Bojun said with a smile, "He only asked when Xiaoliang would return to Beijing, and I said it would be soon."

After dinner, Ning Jing followed Lin Shuzhi to the study.

"Xiao Liang will be back at the end of the month, right? We can't miss the wedding date on the sixth day of June." Lin Shuzhi smiled broadly.

He had originally planned to officially separate the family for his two sons after Lin Xueqing got married. The two daughters-in-law were both from high-ranking aristocrats. Lin's house was small and didn't even have a proper garden. He had already looked for a good house to buy, but they had just bought it.

After getting married, it is not appropriate to separate now.

Unexpectedly, the two daughters-in-law are not willing to separate the family because they have a very good relationship. Now that they have no children, they feel that if they are separated, the small family will be too deserted. Moreover, the Lin brothers are usually very busy with work and do not have so much time to spend with each other.

It's good to have them as companions.

Lin Shuzhi is very happy now and is looking forward to holding his grandson.

Ning Jing nodded, "I can't make a mistake."

Lin Shuzhi looked serious, "You guys are getting married this time, isn't it a joke?"

"Master came to me to talk about this matter?" Ning Jing asked.

"Otherwise, what else can happen? This is the most important thing!" Lin Shuzhi said, "You live together and are not married, so it is inappropriate. Although I know you have nothing, I hope you have something. In short, just say, you

What on earth were you thinking?"

Ning Jing looked calm, "What matters about getting married is what she thinks."

Lin Shuzhi was stunned for a moment, "That's right. So what did Xiao Liang think?"

"She feels she is still young." Ning Jing said.

Lin Shuzhi slapped the table, "I knew it! You decided to blame Xiaoliang again, saying she was unhappy, but I think it's you who has the problem!"

Ning Jing frowned slightly, "It's my problem."

Lin Shuzhi asked angrily, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
