Chapter 223 - 223 Going Home
223 Going Home
Ning Yue was a good girl. After the rebellion of the two kings, Ning Chen had a new understanding of Ning Yue.
He had been out all year round, so his understanding of Ning Yue stopped at his return from the general’s residence. He knew that Ning Yue had suffered in the general’s residence, but he did not know the details.
After returning to the Ning family, Ning Yue was very gloomy. Later, the army summoned him back. In a letter to his family, he asked about Ning Yue.
It was not until the drought in Baiyun State that he lost news of his family.
When everyone in the family settled down in Laifu Village to write to him to tell him that they were safe, he realized that it was all thanks to Ning Yue that everyone in the Ning family could survive.
However, at that time, he also thought that Ning Yue was just a lucky person and did not know how capable she was.
It was not until the two kings rebelled and Ning Yue went to the military camp to save so many people that he took this niece seriously.
Ning Yue was a good child!
It was expected that Ning Yue would be conferred the title of princess by the emperor. With her ability, she could completely soar in the wide sky like an eagle.
“You’ve contributed to the border. The Crown Prince and I have discussed it. We’ll confer you as a junior general and reward you with a hundred taels of silver. We’ll give you half a month’s leave. You can go back. The reward has been sent to your residence,” the Emperor said.
The residence? Ning Chen was slightly stunned. The reward was already in the Ning Family Village?
From the capital to Laifu Village, no matter how fast it was, it would take three days. His reward had already arrived at Laifu Village?
“Alright, all of you can leave. I’m tired too. I want to rest.” The emperor waved his hand. If not for the fact that Jiang Huan and the others had arrived in the capital at night, he would have been lying in bed and sleeping.
After talking to them for a while, he was exhausted. He wanted to rest well.
Seeing this, Jiang Huan and Ning Chen stood up and left.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Huan told Ning Chen, “Yueyue bought a house in the capital. You can stay there or return to Prince Jin’s Residence with me. Where do you want to go?”
Ah? Ning Yue had already bought a house in the capital? Ning Chen was surprised. Was Ning Yue so capable?
“By the way, there’s another boy left at your house. You can take a look,” Jiang Huan said.
Hearing Jiang Huan’s words, Ning Chen couldn’t wait to move in.
“I’ll stay in Ning Yue’s house tonight and see the children in my family. I haven’t seen them in a long time,” Ning Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Huan nodded and brought Ning Chen to the house Ning Yue had bought. “I heard from Jiang Ying that this should be Ning Yue’s house.”
Ning Chen nodded and knocked on the door. It happened to be Erlang who opened the door. The moment he saw Ning Chen, Erlang’s nose turned sour.
“Second Uncle, long time no see.” Erlang resisted the urge to cry. He lived here and was unfamiliar with the place. He was happy to see Second Uncle!
Originally, he and Liu Xuan had already moved to the General’s Residence. A few days ago, Grandmother An Ning suddenly asked him and Liu Xuan to come back and stay for a few days. She said that an important guest was coming.
He asked for a long time, but Grandma An Ning was unwilling to tell him who it was. She only said that it was a person he would really want to meet.
Seeing that the person who had returned was Second Uncle, wasn’t that the person he wanted to see the most? He was about to die of joy.
“Hey, good child!” Ning Chen smiled in relief.
“I’ve heard all about it along the way. I heard that two military officials have come to the capital and are going to the border with me in a few days. I didn’t expect it to be you. Good lad, Second Uncle doesn’t even know when you became an official!” Ning Chen was very excited.
“Second Uncle, I got in a few days ago. I got first place in the rankings. Cousin Liu Xuan is amazing. He’s the martial arts top scholar. I was planning to go back and report the good news to my family in the next two days,” Erlang said happily.
“Alright, I’ll go back after sending you here.” Jiang Huan looked at Ning Chen and Erlang, who still had a lot to say. He decided not to disturb the two of them and was about to leave.
Ning Chen quickly pulled him back. “Your Highness, come in and have a seat. I should have been the one to send you back. I’m sorry to have troubled you to send me here now.”
“You’re unfamiliar with the capital. Why are you sending me off? Alright, go in quickly. I still have something on.” Jiang Huan pretended to be impatient and waved his hand.
No matter what, he had to go back and write the memorial first. He had heard that the crown prince had obtained a lot of money recently. He planned to get some military money from the crown prince to comfort the soldiers.
Ning Chen watched Jiang Huan leave on his horse. He only entered the door when he could no longer see Jiang Huan.
