The Third Prince sneered. Yes, yes, yes. Second Brother, youre so powerful. You can afford to lose the ore and your face. Youre not embarrassed at all!
Chernan slapped the table. Cheryan! Dont think that I dont dare to beat you up!
Third Prince Cheryan was not to be outdone. He rolled up his sleeves and began to show off his biceps. Do you think Im afraid of you?
At this moment, the soldier who was still kneeling raised his head slowly.
Th-th-the mine
The two princes turned to look at him at the same time. He immediately stuttered even more. It was destroyed
The corners of the mouths of the two people who were at loggerheads twitched at the same time. After a long time, Chernan finally said, They destroy it just because they cant get it? Great Xias soldiers are so ruthless! Great Xias Third Prince is so vicious! As expected, none of them were good!
It was true that the soldiers of Great Xia could not bring too many ores with them, but they did not have such plans to begin with. The general decided to destroy the rest so the Xiongnu could forget about keeping them. They would be a scourge in the future.
Chernan could tolerate the destruction of only one mine, but the Great Xia soldiers did not stop their exploration just because of one victory. With Xiaoxiaos full support, the second mine was also exposed to the weapons of the Great Xia soldiers.
At this moment, the negotiator sent by Great Xia had already quietly arrived at
the border city.
Xiaoxiao, who came out of the house after receiving the news, blinked and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face at the door. She called out in disbelief, Big Brother? Then, she cheered and rushed towards him with her arms open.
Ning Ansheng smiled and didnt let her hug him. He only held her gently and let out a long sigh. Sister has grown taller.
Xiaoxiao was rather dissatisfied. Her brother had grown up and he wasnt even letting her hug him anymore!
Ning Ansheng tapped her forehead gently. Youre already so old, yet youre still acting cute. Be careful not to make everyone laugh at you.
In the past, when Xiaoxiaos identity was not publicized, he had carefully protected her and paid attention to his limits. Now that they were only siblings in name and she had plans to be engaged to the Third Prince he naturally had to avoid close contact.
Of course, Xiaoxiao understood his intentions, so she simply bowed to his hand. Yes, yes, yes. Little Sister will follow Big Brothers teachings. Big Brother, how have Father, Mother, and Second Brother been recently?
Ning Ansheng nodded. Mothers tummy is showing now. An experienced midwife said that this pregnancy is stable and healthy. Father and Mother are very happy. They say every day that they hope to give birth to a cute and obedient daughter like you.
Father is farming for the officials. Every day, when he wakes up, he says that he suspects that hes dreaming. The days when he couldnt eat his fill are still vivid in his mind. Why did he suddenly start working for the officials?
The new batch of rice seeds should have been planted by now. According to County Magistrate Shen, all the farmers in Jiangnan will get new rice seeds by next year.
Your Second Brother is becoming more and more experienced as a shopkeeper. The more he runs his shop, the more convenient it is for him. Hes already thinking of opening another branch. Oh, in addition, our family is discussing marriage with Shopkeeper Qians family. Perhaps your Second Brother will get married when you go back.
The place where they were chatting had unknowingly changed to the kitchen. While waiting for the food in the pot to cook, Xiaoxiao chose a bar stool and listened to her brother as she swung her feet. She only asked after he finished, What about you?
Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hands and asked with a smile, Are you feeling well? Was the journey tough? Are you used to eating the food? It s cold here. Did Big Brother bring thick clothes?
Ning Anshengs heart felt warm. He even took out a new cotton coat from his bag. I brought it. Mother heard that it was cold here and asked me to bring you one too.
He looked at the expensive clothes on Xiaoxiao and saw that she had taken off her fur cloak without hesitation and changed into the new clothes he had brought. She even specially turned around. Ah, it fits perfectly. These stitches are so dense. Mother must have made them, right? Aiya, she even embroidered little rabbits for me. Theyre so cute!
Everything seemed to have changed, but it also seemed to be the same as before. Ning Anshengs heart, which had been restless since Xiaoxiao left, was very calm now. He nodded and said, Mm, its very cute.
There was a light cough outside the door. Dean Lu walked in. What did you cook? It smells so good!
Xiaoxiao exclaimed, So the person sent by the Imperial Court to negotiate is Dean Lu. Then Ill wait to see Xiongnu suffer!
Dean Lu deliberately pulled a long face. Arent you afraid that an impatient old man like me will ruin the peace talks?
Xiaoxiao raised a finger and shook it again and again. Its precisely because youre impatient that you cant be bothered to nag at those defeated opponents. Let them quickly admit defeat and accept their punishment, so that the soldiers of Great Xia wont have to suffer and freeze in that bitter cold place. Dean Lu chuckled. This girl really hit the nail on the head. He was really impatient to hear those Xiongnu barbarians spout nonsense.
Xiaoxiao continued, I cooked some red bean porridge. Its warm and nourishes the body. Dean Lu and Big Brother, have a bowl to relieve your fatigue first. The two of them naturally would not decline. After eating and drinking their fill and adjusting their schedules, they still had to retort the Xiongnu in high spirits. Ah, no, they had to negotiate with the Xiongnu.
Dean Lu probed as he ate, Girl, arent you worried that Ill delay your brothers studies by bringing him here?
Xiaoxiaos face was full of questions. Its better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books. Youre bringing my brother out to broaden his horizons and practice. Isnt this much better than staying in the house and studying foolishly?
Ning Ansheng gave Dean Lu a look that said, I told you my sister could understand. Then, he continued eating his porridge.
Before Ning Ansheng left home, his parents were worried that his studies would be delayed, so they made him explain for a long time. Dean Lu was so free on the road that he made a bet with him. Dean Lu believed that his sister would be very worried when they reached the border, while he didnt. Ning Ansheng firmly despised such gambling behavior, but Dean Lu pretended to be deaf and dumb and wrote a note. If he won, Ning Ansheng would give him 10 small jars of pickled vegetables made by Xiaoxiao. If he lost, Ning Ansheng would not have to do his homework for five days.
At this moment, the bet was revealed. Dean Lu silently looked up at the sky and did not say a word about the outcome.
Ning Ansheng didnt mind either. If he was such a lazy person, it was impossible for him to finish a book that others could only finish in two years in only half a year.
Of course, this was also because the study room at home was extremely efficient.
For some reason, he felt that time passed especially slowly as long as he studied in that room.
Dean Lu waited for a long time, but his little disciple did not speak. He, who should be smug, sighed. Young man, youre so mature. Its not fun at all. However, such a steady and disciplined disciple was more suitable for the royal court than anyone else.
Hows the article I asked you to write yesterday?
Ning Ansheng swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in his mouth and said helplessly, Teacher, the essay was assigned at midnight.
It was only seven oclock in the morning currently, and the homework was assigned at midnight. Other than the time he slept on the way, he had been awake for less than four hours.
Delight appeared on Dean Lus face, but he forcefully suppressed it and changed it to a straight face. You havent thought it through? Then let me, as a teacher, teach you, my disciple, a lesson! Teach him what time is precious and what
Ning Ansheng said, Therefore, I only have some superficial thoughts. Ill tell Teacher after I wash the bowls and chopsticks. Please sit here for a while..
