Chapter 893: Chapter 893: Gucheng’s Gift_1
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Lingzi is a spoiled child. She always stirs up troubles while studying under Chief Lin in Elegance Palace. Both of you should be strict with her.”
Yin Lan and Wei Xiong were both surprised and delighted to hear that Chief Lin was also in the harem.
Wei Xiong asked, “Is Chief Lin still at the Elegance Palace now?”
“Yes, he is. I heard he will be staying for a few more months.” Jiang Ning smiled, “It seems that both of you gentlen are quite familiar with Chief Lin?”
Yin Lan explained, “We also once listened to Chief Lin’s lectures at the Spring Autumn Academy, so we consider ourselves his disciples. However, it’s been seven or eight years since we graduated and left the academy, and we haven’t had the chance to see Chief Lin since. Surprisingly, he has also descended from the mountain and entered the world.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Even better since you are acquainted, there will always be an opportunity to et.”
...
Yin Lan and Wei Xiong were pleased to hear this.
From then on, they lived in a courtyard at the northeast corner of East Palace, which was close to the Crystal Clear Manor, allowing them to teach Lingzi every day.
It was also convenient for Lingzi to visit them.
It was the beginning of May, and continuing heavy rains with thunder and lightning had made the roads of Chang’an City impassable.
The heavy rain relieved the drought but also delayed the ti for General Jiang Mubai’s army to set off.
When the threshold of the Bureau of Astronomy was almost worn out by General Jiang, the rain finally stopped.
After the rain, the weather suddenly beca hot again.
Jiang Mubai couldn’t afford more delays, thus announced to set off imdiately.
Silla and the Prince of Zhao had started fighting, and if he was late to assist, they might face trouble due to the combined attacks of Rouran and Silla against the Prince of Zhao.
Jiang Mubai and his army set off urgently.
Jiang Ning bade farewell from the city walls, looking at the departing army, feeling lancholy.
Now that the general has left, who will secretly buy her marinated pig’s trotters from the city’s east end?
“Seventh Miss,” Gucheng, standing in the shadow of the corner, suddenly spoke up.
Jiang Ning was startled, “You…Gucheng, why didn’t you go with Uncle?”
Li Hongyuan replied indifferently, “With his speed, he can keep up even if he sets off a few days late. Lingzi, your father will take you to choose a good bow. Didn’t you want to learn archery with the master?”
Lingzi was extrely excited and imdiately let go of Jiang Ning’s hand.
Li Hongyuan took the little girl down the city wall.
It seed like he deliberately left Jiang Ning and Gucheng alone to talk.
It was odd. Li Hongyuan had been jealous of Wenren Zong and He Tang, but he never paid attention to Gucheng and Gufeng.
Clearly these two n were even closer to her.
But in Li Hongyuan’s eyes, he seed to never consider them as n.
Even when Gufeng occasionally stayed in Jiang Ning’s bedroom, he never paid any mind, even when he knew about it.
Jiang Ning didn’t want to probe too much for the ti being. After all, the human mind was the most difficult to fathom.
She and Gucheng stood on the city walls, watching the army in the distance. She said, “Even though you’re fast, it’s not about speed. You’re responsible for Uncle’s safety. You need to be with him at all tis.”
Gucheng said, “I ca to say goodbye to the Seventh Miss, and I will catch up imdiately.”
“Oh, I see.” Jiang Ning sighed in relief, and smiled, “I believe you guys will be able to return ho by the end of the year. Ti will fly by, so don’t miss ho too much.”
Gucheng nodded, he reached into his chest pocket, took out a thin book, and handed it to her, “I drew this. Seventh Miss, you can practice according to this when you’re free.”
Jiang Ning flipped through it and laughed, “I thought it was so sort of secret martial arts manual. This is quite basic.”
Gucheng seriously said, “The basics are very important. Seventh Miss, you may be unsuitable for martial arts, but if you persist over the years, you can achieve physical fitness.”
