Chapter 15 Lingyan Pavilion

Half a day later, Ning Chen also said goodbye to the shopkeeper. Before leaving, the shopkeeper specially gave him a small ingot, which was used as a waste of money on the road.

Ning Chen looked at the silver in his hand and suddenly felt so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth, throwing away all the sadness of the morning.

Thanks to the shopkeeper, Ning Chen smiled and didn't say where he would go, because even he didn't know where he could go.

In order to prevent being captured by Changsun, leaving the imperial city was the best choice. Ning Chen finally made a decision after weighing the trade-offs. However, before, he would go to Lingyan Pavilion to pay off two cups of tea.

The bustling streets were full of hawking sounds. This was the first time Ning Chen was in the mood to stroll around. He saw this curious and that one was rare.

It would be nice to have sex like this. When you leave the city, do some small business, marry a gentle girl, have a few babies, and live a good life as long as you are not caught by your eldest grandson.

Just when Ning Chen was fantasizing about a better day in the future, the gongs and bells at the end of the street suddenly rang and horse hooves, a team of gorgeously dressed but somewhat strangely walked from a distance, and the pedestrian stalls ahead made way aside to prevent blocking the road ahead.

"This is a big show for the messenger of the real kingdom."

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, most of them were indignant, and they obviously had no good feelings for the messengers of the Zhenji Kingdom.

Ning Chen knew some of this Zhenji Kingdom. Zhenji Kingdom is located in the northeast of Daxia. It has little territory, but it has nothing to do. He shouted all day long that he was the best in the world and kept provoking trouble. After the founding of Daxia, the third generation of wise rulers were bored and directly rushed to the northeast. He fought Zhenji Kingdom for hundreds of years and didn't dare to let anyone go.

However, over the years, Daxia has relaxed its policies to Zhenji Kingdom for peace, which has made Zhenji Kingdom think that Daxia is weak and easy to bully, and has repeatedly provoked. The Buyihou, who was in the northeast, has asked for orders to send troops, but has been forcibly suppressed by the current Xia Emperor.

Ning Chen stood in the crowd and looked at the messenger on the carriage, raised his right hand, then put a fierce middle finger on his face, and greeted the latter's family.

After a brief storm, Ning Chen calmed down and continued to walk towards Lingyan Pavilion. As for the messenger, let Changsun and the others have a headache.

In front of Lingyan Pavilion, it was still as deserted as yesterday, but it was normal. When he came, it was almost noon. At this time, who would still stay in the fireworks place?

Ning Chen walked over and looked into the gorgeous lobby. He saw a touch of clothes sitting quietly, as if waiting for him to come to the door.

"Young Master is here." After Ning Chen walked in, Yue Hanyi stood up and said with a smile.

"I'll pay back the money." Although he didn't hit the smiley person, and he was facing a charming woman, the disgust in his heart made Ning Chen unable to laugh out loud. He slapped the exchanged one or two pieces of silver on the table, arrogantly said, "Don't look for it anymore", and then turned around and left.

"Please wait, please wait." Yue Hanyi reached out to block Ning Chen's way and said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Ning Chen frowned, "Two cups of tea and one tael of silver are enough."

Yue Hanyi smiled faintly and said, "Young Master is really a noble person who forgets things. Two cups of tea and one tael of silver is enough, but the table, chair and tea set that the young master broke is far from being able to repay."

“…”

Ning Chen was stunned and felt guilty immediately. He really ignored this matter.

Looking at Ning Chen's expression, Yue Hanyi felt very relieved and continued, "Young Master doesn't know that the tables and chairs in Lingyan Pavilion are made of excellent Tiannan wood, and the tea sets are also made by famous masters in the imperial city. The little woman has calculated for the young master. In addition to the tea money that had been paid back just now, the young master is still 110 taels of silver. However, seeing that the young master came to pay back so happily, he would give the young master an integer and give it back one hundred taels."

"One hundred...two" Ning Chen stretched out a finger and stuttered.

Yue Hanyi nodded, and her smile became more charming, calling you arrogant and making you arrogant.

Ning Chen trembled and reached out to take out all the belongings from his arms, and stuttered, "But... I have less than four taels of silver left on me."

The shopkeeper gave him a small ingot of five taels. He bought a sesame cake and spent two cents. The rest was here. He thought it would last for a long time, but he would never have thought that he would pay such a huge debt of one hundred taels.

"Young master can go home to pick it up, and the little girl will wait here." Yue Hanyi smiled and reminded "kindly".

"Can't go back anymore." Ning Chen was extremely depressed. It would be great if he could go home.

"Is there really no money?" Yue Hanyi raised the corner of her mouth and asked.

"It's really no money," Ning Chen nodded and sighed.

The smile on Yue Hanyi's face disappeared immediately and she said lightly, "Then stay here to do odd jobs and pay off her debts."

"Li'er, take him back to the back hall to wash clothes for the girls."

"Yes" finished speaking, a pretty little girl about twelve or twelve years old walked out and pulled Ning Chen, who had not yet come to her senses, and walked towards the back hall.

"I...I..."

The little girl pulled her sleeves, Ning Chen turned around while walking, not wanting to follow her, what's going on? He is still in a hurry to run away.

"What do you think I am? You dare to be so arrogant when you owe Sister Yi the money you have been waiting for you for a long time." Li'er couldn't let Ning Chen struggle. He held the latter's sleeve with both hands and pulled him to the back hall.

"Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhao, you can rest first, leave all these clothes to him."

As soon as he entered the back hall, he saw two women sitting next to a pile of clothes and busy. Li'er stepped forward and explained a few words, then looked at Ning Chen who was dumb and shouted in a sweet voice.

"so much!"

Seeing the stack of clothes that looked like a hill, Ning Chen almost jumped up and stretched out his finger and said slightly.

When will this be washed, and...and there is no washing machine yet...

"Hurry up, why don't you eat tonight?" Li'er put her hips on her hips and said fiercely.

"Wash it, what's the most evil?"

Ning Chen muttered, walked slowly beside his clothes, while comforting himself in his heart that a good man would not fight with a bad girl.

After sitting down, Ning Chen was about to start work, but he looked around and flipped around, and always felt that something was missing.

"Li'er, don't have soap?"

Ning Chen searched for a long time, and finally found something missing. He raised his head and asked.

Li'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Soap? What soap? Are you talking about soap? That's what wealthy people use to wash their hands, who can do it to wash clothes?"

"How to wash it?" Ning Chen was so big that he looked at the little girl and wondered, what time has it been, why has the soap not come out yet!

"I'm so stupid," Li'er muttered, walked up to take the stick next to the clothes, and beat the clothes on the wooden board hard, "Did you see, just wash it like this!"

"I..., brute force solves everything?" Ning Chen felt that he was shocked. If he finished washing his clothes like this, he would basically be useless.

"Wash well, I will come over to check before dark." Li'er said a word, then left humming a small song.

Ning Chen looked at the pile of clothes like a hill and sighed, "I would have continued to be a eunuch if I had known it. I went out of the wolf's mouth and went into the tiger's mouth. It seems that I still have to find an opportunity to run away. I am so stubborn!

As the sun shone west, the hills around Ning Chen were getting fewer and fewer. Finally, before the sunset was over, the last piece of clothes was washed and hung. When we were together, we felt severe pain all over, dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"It's finished washing? It's pretty fast."

Li'er came over to check on time, looked at the clothes floating all over the yard, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a sweet voice, "Sweet"

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner"

Li'er said something, and was about to leave, but found Ning Chen standing there, motionless, and immediately raised his waist, "Didn't you hear me?"

At this time, Ning Chen could not care about the little girl's mood. He raised his hand and greeted, "Li'er, come and help me, your legs are numb."

"Really, fake" Li'er walked over half-believingly and said, "You don't want to take advantage of me, right?"

“…”

Ning Chen was almost choked to death by the little girl's words, and subconsciously glanced at the latter's chest. Not to mention it, it was not considered peaceful.

The "pervert" saw Ning Chen's gaze, Li'er's face turned red, she raised her foot and stepped on Ning Chen hard, but left with a blushing face.

"Squeeze"

After being stepped on, Ning Chen bared his teeth and took a few breaths of air conditioning. It wasn't that the little girl stepped on her hard, but the main reason was that she was stepped on when her legs were numb. This was really uncomfortable.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing that Li'er really had no intention of supporting him, Ning Chen limped and followed him.

When I entered the kitchen, no one was there. I took two steamed buns and brought a plate of vegetables back to the yard, sat next to the small stone bench, and started eating silently.

Li'er couldn't bear it, so she walked up to her, touched Ning Chen's shoulder with her little hand, and said kindly, "Hey, you'd better apologize to Sister Yi, Sister Yi is easy to talk to."

Ning Chen raised his head and grinned his teeth, spitting out three words "Impossible".

"you"

Li'er was so angry that she pointed at the person in front of her. She had never seen such a rude and ungrateful person.

"Li'er, where are your parents?" Ning Chen didn't care about the little girl's angry look, but asked softly.

"Parents?" Li'er was stunned when she heard this. To them, she was such a distant and unfamiliar name.

Looking at Li'er's gradually dimming face, Ning Chen sighed in his heart, stood up and rubbed the little girl's head gently. In his world, a girl as old as Li'er is still a little princess held by her parents in her palms, but here she has to be a slave and a servant for a livelihood, and even her own innocence is not something she can decide.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen became more and more disgusted with Yue Hanyi. He didn't even let such a young girl go, taking it as a wolf, a dog-hearted heart, a snake, a scorpion, and a beast-like heart.

"Li'er, do you want to leave here?" Ning Chen tried to ask. He knew that his ability was limited and he could not help everyone, but he believed that if he did his best, there would be hope for saving a little girl.

Li'er thought about it for a long time, shook her head gently, and said in a low mood, "Don't want it."

She grew up in Lingyan Pavilion and has regarded this place as her home. Even if she can leave this place, how can she live, not to mention that she is a slave and cannot get rid of this fact wherever she goes.

Ning Chen looked at Li'er's expression and thought carefully, then he knew what was going on. He apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I was reckless."

"It's okay, you have a meal soon. I'll take you to your residence later." Li'er adjusted her mood a little and pretended to be happy.

Ning Chen stopped talking and continued to eat the food in his hand. He made up his mind to find a good home for this kind-hearted little girl.

After dinner, Ning Chen followed Li'er to his house. Fortunately, it was not as bad as he thought. Except for being a little smaller, there was no other inconvenience.

After Li'er left, Ning Chen took out the golden paper he had kept close to his body. He was even curious about this mental method that claimed to be able to "strengthen the body".

"Scroll of Life? The Name of the Good Public"

Looking at the name of the scroll on the paper, Ning Chen didn't see the reason, and continued to look down. Fortunately, the body he was in is recognizing words in his memory, which reduced him a lot of trouble.

Ten breaths later, Ning Chen was silent...

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Chen continued to remain silent...

Half an hour later, Ning Chen was still silent...

An hour later, a crazy shout sounded in the room, "I can't understand!"
