The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

At the gate of Wang'an City.

People holding ultimatums and guides lined up at the gate of the city to wait for the soldiers to pass inspection and release. Although the line was long, it passed quickly because it was orderly and there was no dispute.

Soon, a slender figure dressed in commoner clothes and carrying a bamboo basket entered the tower and walked slowly towards Jurenfang. He was obviously a man, but he looked very delicate, with delicate features and a pure white face. A pair of black eyes were scorching, which caused occasional little ladies at the gate of Pingkangfang who got up early to dry their clothes couldn't help but smile at him.

This person is Le Ning who is disguised as a man.

Thanks to the small size of her bust, she does not need to consume too much fabric to wrap her chest all day long, and the tightness in her chest is not too strong, so her identity has never been discovered. In addition, she consciously lowers her voice when speaking, at most others think she is Masculinity is not strong, and few people doubt her true identity.

Le Ning even sometimes wonders unfoundedly whether his voice will not come back after he has disguised himself as a man for a long time——

What an oriole-like voice, a nightingale-like singing voice, probably will never be with her in this life.

She was distractedly walking on the way back to the Zou Mansion, not noticing how many young women were prying on her by her appearance. Fortunately, she had been away from Wang'an for many years, and no one contacted her with that "tofu boy" back then They got together, so she almost traveled all the way to the Zou Mansion.

The concierge couldn't recognize her at first, but after she explained her identity, the look of joy on her face soon turned to regret:

"It turned out that Shiro came back! It's a pity that Duke Zou went to Luoyang half a decade ago, and now the restaurants are getting bigger and bigger in Wang'an City, and we lost contact with you before, so we can't pass on Duke Zou's plan to you."

Le Ning understood that the time when she and Su Hanzhang lost contact was exactly when she and Su Hanzhang were in the southwest village.

"Why don't you see Hanzhang coming back together?" The gatekeeper's temples are a little gray, he was the gatekeeper of Le Ning when he was apprenticed to the teacher before, now it has only been eight years, he feels as if he is old, one can't help feeling that time flies.

Le Ning smiled and talked about the things after breaking up with the big brother, then gave him some local specialties, and entered the door——

The second senior brother followed his master to Luoyang to investigate the opening of a new restaurant, and only the third senior brother was left to manage the restaurant, so there was no one in the yard at the moment, only a few servants who cleaned the restaurant.

She took a deep breath, went back to her room, and took out the gray ball with her eyes closed that seemed to be resting from the basket.

Le Ning's smile since entering the city disappeared, and a bit of sadness appeared between his brows.

This is the seventh day of Zhima's sleep without warning.

Le Ning counted the money he had saved along the way, and planned to take it to a doctor today to have a look.

Of course, there is still a large part of this money to be used to appease my parents——

To prevent them from resenting their going out without any news for so many years, and then doing something stupid.

……

afternoon.

Being thought of by Le Ning, Le Youcai walked into a remote small yard with his hands in his pockets. The two of them were "invited" out by their elder brother and sister-in-law three years ago. Those who can keep a family of three worry-free will not be crowded in this broken corner.

however……

Helplessly, their eldest son has made no progress since he entered school, and who has led him to owe a lot of debts in the gambling house. The two of them have this lifeblood. Naturally, they first used the house to pay off the debts, and then took the monthly payment. Money to pay, but still can not, the debt is like snowballing more and more.

The mother-in-law at home talked about Le Ning as a heartless white-eyed wolf, a loser, etc. Occasionally, when debt collectors came to her door, she cried and asked for some time, and then turned around and scolded the person who didn't know where. My youngest daughter has no filial piety, but she has the heart to let her parents down to this point.

This is the case again.

"The one who kills a thousand knives is capable, don't look back at An in this life, otherwise I will definitely sue this unfilial girl to the government, and the government will send her away, and then take all her money for retirement..."

Le Youcai thought of what he had just inquired about, and with a bit of annoyance on his face, he immediately said, "Shut up, that's it!"

Hearing her husband's accusation, the woman closed her mouth obediently, with only a bit of grievance on her face, she approached him carefully after a while, and said softly:

"What did Erlang meet outside?"

Le Youcai frowned almost into a knot, obviously hesitant, opened and closed his mouth for a long time, and finally waved to his wife, beckoned her to come over, and whispered the news he had inquired into her ear.

Not long after, the woman said in amazement: "There are 50 taels of silver!"

It's just that you need a son with a matching birth date to celebrate the wedding, and you have so much money, which rich lady is it?

Her mind was completely captured by this unprecedented wealth, and it took a while to realize that what she wanted was a son...

The woman's complexion changed suddenly, she looked at Le Youcai: "Erlang, you...you want to take our son..."

If her son was promising in the past, she would definitely cry and scold her husband for being blinded by money, and even thought of using her son in exchange for the wealth that would cut off her son and grandson. However, her son has already owed huge gambling debts outside, After implicating their husband and wife, she couldn't help but feel a little loose.

A stern look flashed in Le Youcai's eyes: "No, Dalang's birth date is wrong, but Erniang Aning's... a perfect match."

Everyone knows that the so-called congratulations are married to someone who is seriously ill or dying, and they will fall into a widowed situation within a few days after marriage, and most of them are looking for young ladies to congratulate.

This is the first time for a son.

Hearing Le Youcai's words, the woman's heart beat fast for a while, suddenly she felt her tongue was dry, and after a long time she said: "The one who can afford this money must be a wealthy family, if we are found out, Erlang, we will be finished..."

Le Youcai squeezed the center of his brows, and said in a low voice: "I have already asked, it was brought by a middleman, let's take 30 taels as a deposit first, I have calculated that 30 taels is enough to pay off Da Lang's gambling debts, we will take it After paying the money, I left the city, and now I have sent someone to set up a guide, as long as I stay far away from Wang'an, why worry about being discovered?"

Besides, even if she is found out, it is Aning's own business. Her parents raised her so much, and it is her luck not to care about her previous unfilial piety. She will take care of other disasters for her parents. blocked.

The woman was persuaded by her husband's complete plan, subconsciously looked around, and then said to him: "I'll save it, when the second lady comes back, I will definitely think of a way..."

outside the courtyard.

A man dressed as a beggar sneaked down from the top of the wall, his eyes rolled. He was worried that he couldn't think of a way to get the couple to pay, but now... he can take a picture.

……

The next day.

Le Ning returned to the Zou Mansion with the undiagnosed cat in her arms. Because she didn't know what would happen when she returned home, she hesitated again and again, and decided to place Zhima in her room in the Zou Mansion, and then After searching in the basket for a while, he hesitated and took out a bone flute.

It was given to her by Ban Xia when she bid farewell to Su Hanzhang earlier, and it was said that it could control snakes and insects within a radius of one mile.

Le Ning used to play the flute in the north. Half a decade later, he heard the dangerous desert from caravan rumors, and there was a story about a ghost playing the flute in the middle of the night...Since then, Le Ning has never tried its effect again.

However, there was only such a gadget on the left and right, so she still took it.

Walking nervously all the way to the previous Le Zhai, she learned about her grandparents being evicted, and after inquiring many ways, she finally saw the dilapidated courtyard where the two lived.

Le Ning tightened the cloth bag he was carrying, there were several hanging copper coins in it, heavy and heavy.

"Shiro is back!" Seeing her, the woman who was rubbing clothes in the yard looked at her in surprise for a while, and finally forced a smile and stiffly pretended to be happy.

Le Ning also twitched the corners of his lips, and called out, "Aniang."

She calmly explained the reason she made up earlier: "I was ordered by my master to go to the south to have a look. Unfortunately, I met a thief and got separated from my senior brother. Fang returned to Wang'an after nine deaths."

"Si... Shiro has worked hard, Auntie is going to buy you some food and drink." The woman wiped her hands and said so, but she didn't move.

Le Ning didn't expect this plastic family relationship either, and continued, "Don't bother Mommy, since I have learned some skills from Master, I should serve Mommy some good food."

The woman couldn't help talking, she knew that this unfilial girl was good at cooking, but now she just waited for her stuttering, thinking about her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Le Ning was concerned about Zhima, although she didn't know how this woman treated her so pleasantly today, but they probably didn't get along well, pointing at exploiting herself, so she handed her the money, and then wanted to go out to buy some vegetables.

As a result, when she turned around, she heard the woman hurriedly say: "Don't work so hard, Ah Ning has been exhausted all the way, and there are some fresh vegetables bought a few days ago in the house, Ah Ning can cook as he pleases."

Le Ning thought about it, and had to go into the kitchen to have a look.

……

After a cup of tea.

Le Youcai came back, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he smelled a scent, and immediately knew that his unfilial daughter had returned. When the woman saw her husband, she stepped forward and pulled his sleeve, and signaled with her eyes He has arrived.

Le Youcai nodded, and whispered to her, "Stay safe for now, I'll contact the people over there."

The woman nodded nervously, 30 taels of silver, success or failure depends on it.

In the dark, Ying Jiu and Ying Ten looked at each other with some confusion, wondering if they should make a move this time.

In the kitchen.

Le Ning didn't know what would happen, so he simply made a fried crucian carp. The skin of the fish was fried to a golden brown, and the white fish inside was soaked in the sauce at the bottom of the pot, revealing an attractive color. The fragrance blends, and the taste can spread far and wide.

After seasoning, she added some water to the pot, then covered the wooden lid and simmered for a while. When the time was almost up, she lifted the lid of the pot, stuck out her chopsticks in the white mist, picked off a piece of meat from the back and put it in the mouth. middle--

The skin of the fish was slightly crispy, but still quite elastic, and the fresh and fragrant fish meat was soaked in the sauce. She chewed it carefully for a long time, and was just about to start the pot when she saw Le You came to the kitchen door with her hands behind her back.

"Grandpa." Le Ning greeted him, intentionally handing him the chopsticks in his hand.

Le Youcai didn't answer, but walked slowly behind her, and said to her: "It smells good, Er Niang, don't worry."

Le Ning paused when she handed the chopsticks, and then went back to cooking her own dishes. Just as she was about to get the fish out of the pot, she suddenly heard the rustling sound of something shaking behind her, and she looked back suspiciously——

The next moment, the drug-soaked sack came towards her wearing a hood!
