Diandian, the cute group pet has a dragon Kaka to kill

Chapter 254 Years passed

Time flies, and it passes quickly.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. He Xinglang won the top three honors in the imperial examinations and now has a firm foothold in the court.

After all, Grandma Xia and the old couple of the Yan family did not survive and passed away, turning into a handful of earth.

The old emperor has become the emperor emeritus and is living out his retirement in the harem. He is now holding on with all his might, waiting for Xia Yining to wake up.

During the past ten years, temples of the goddess throughout Nanxu have been constantly visited by visitors, with a faint sense of growing prosperity. In their spare time, the common people would go to burn incense and pray for the Princess who protects the country.

Grain was also grown on the barren land at the border, and although the yield per mu was not high, self-sufficiency was achieved.

The He family has lived in the capital for ten years and has never left. They have always been with Xia Yining. Even the small shop owned by Mr. and Mrs. He has been turned into a big restaurant.

It occupies the position of the best restaurant in the capital city. It is always packed with people and does great business. What people talk about most is that the owner of the store, Manager He, and his wife have not worn any gold or silver for many years.

The two of them wore ordinary silk clothes when they went out, and their food and drink were similar to those of ordinary people.

As time went by, some old customers would curiously ask, "This No. 1 duck in the world has made a lot of money in the past ten years, why are you two so stingy?"

"You should be nicer to yourself."

Shopkeeper He was not angry, he just smiled and said: "Why not? Nowadays, having enough food and clothes is a good life, there is no need for those material things to decorate."

"Besides, I am just a peasant. I was able to enter the capital because of Ning'er's help."

"Back then, my parents agreed that all the money we earned would be used by my younger sister, so it's natural that it's kept in the princess' name."

The wife of Mr. He, who was standing on the side, was also smiling. Now that she is older, she has become much rounder and her complexion has become fairer. She looks very blessed.

If she were walking on the street, one would think that she was some lady who had gone out. Over the years, the wife of the Left Prime Minister would often talk to her when she had nothing to do.

She also specially hired a nanny to teach her the rules and things to pay attention to when dealing with people in public.

She has become very skilled over the years and her every move makes it impossible to escape blame.

"The head of the family is right. This money only needs to be enough for spending. The rest is the princess's dowry. Not a cent can be touched."

Someone was curious after hearing this: "Don't you feel bad about the money? If you stay with him, you can live a good life that others envy, with no worries about food and drink, a group of servants, and buy the largest courtyard in the capital."

“Isn’t this life beautiful?”

He Lao Da's wife has been in Beijing for ten years. She is no longer the simple village woman. Naturally, she can understand the meaning of the words.

Shaking his head, he said, "Now is a good life. We eat, drink and live in the Zuo Xiang Mansion. Brother Xia and Sister-in-law have never treated the He family unfairly."

"To put it bluntly, they treat us like their own children. This is a very comfortable life. What's wrong with that?"

"As a person, you should be content with what you have. In addition to money, we both hope that the Princess Protector of the Nation will wake up soon. This is better than anything else."

I secretly cursed these people in my heart, thinking that they were so bad. Many big and small things have happened in the capital over the years, and many people have been secretly trying to trip them up.

These shady things happened one after another if it weren't for the plaque bestowed by the Supreme Emperor and the protection of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

The He family has no connections and no backing, so they would have been eaten alive by others long ago.

These people in front of us must have been sent by others to do bad things. This is the third wave this month.

Hey~~~

Fortunately, Lang Ge'er has become successful now and has become a high-ranking official, so these people dare not go too far.

I looked outside the door and saw a familiar carriage passing by.

It was Xi Zhiyi, the third master of the Xi family. Judging from the direction he was heading, he should be going to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion to see Ning Bao.

When Xia Yining rescued Nan Xu, Xi Zhiyi happened to be assassinated outside. It was said that he fell off a cliff and his life or death was unknown. The Xi family sent many people to look for him.

Three months later, the guards brought the wounded Master San back to Beijing.

He had been unconscious in bed for a long time, and a long scar appeared on his left cheek from his brow to his lips, so he had been wearing a mask for many years.

When he woke up, he didn't remember many things, but he remembered that those boxes of things were fun things for his sister Ning'er. So he ignored the dissuasion of Xi's family and insisted on going to Zuo Xiangfu to see his sister.

I still remember that day, the teenage boy, covered in wounds, knelt beside Ning'er's bed, holding her hand and refusing to let go.

She cried so sadly that everyone wiped tears as they listened.

He kept muttering, "It's all his fault. He should have stayed by his side to protect his sister. He should have known better than to stop looking for food."

He sat in the Glazed Pavilion for three days and three nights without drinking a drop of water, just sitting there quietly watching her, until he left on the fourth day. After recuperating from his injuries at home, his temper became even more violent.

I just go out to do some business from time to time, and I won’t go too far, to make sure I can rush back as soon as I receive news from Ning'er.

Every time he returned to the capital, Master San would first go to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to chat with Ning'er, and then tell her about what he had seen and heard outside, as well as the gifts he brought back.

From particularly exquisite gadgets to priceless head jewelry and fabrics, almost all of Xia Yining's daily necessities are included.

The little girl lying on the bed now is thirteen years old, and he is eight years older than Ning'er. He is now twenty-one years old and still single.

Some people say that the business genius Sanye Xi loves his younger sister very much.

Some people also said that she was not Mr. Sanye’s sister, but the person he wanted to marry in his heart, and he was waiting for her.

Some people also say that there is a family relationship between the two, and that Master Sanye’s destiny has not yet arrived.

No matter what people say outside, it has no effect on Xi Zhiyi. He goes to the Zuo Xiang Mansion regardless of rain or shine.

Mr. and Mrs. He looked at the carriage going away and both sighed deeply.

"Hey~~~ When will sister Ning'er wake up?"

"I wanted to bring her back to the village a few years ago, but the health of the three elders in the family gradually deteriorated, one after another, so it was delayed for a long time."

"It's been so long in the blink of an eye. My parents haven't been in good spirits lately."

"He mentions Xiaotian Village from time to time. I guess he's getting older and starts to miss his hometown." There are white hairs on both sides of Mr. He's head, and he looks a lot older than he was ten years ago.

Knowing that he also wanted to go back and visit, He Lao Da's wife also wanted to. She hadn't seen her parents in her hometown for many years and didn't know how they were doing.

The only time they met was a few years ago, when her husband took the trouble to find an escort agency to send his parents to the capital.

The old couple had a lot of fun that time. They said they had learned a lot in the capital. After living there for half a year, they wanted to go back to the village to take care of the fields.

After that, he never came again, saying that he was too old to ride in a carriage, but in fact he was just worried about her spending money.
