"Qingyuan, please sit down inside."

Aunt Qing didn't say anything. With Xiaoyou's support, she walked into the dining room and sat down. Ning Liheng followed her with satisfaction.

Ning Ruan pulled Zhao Can, raised her chicken claws and pointed at Zhao Can, "Are you laughing at me just now?"

"Is it necessary to laugh? I'm a man."

"you!"

"Don't talk nonsense, eat your chicken claws." He grabbed the chicken claws and blocked Ning Ruan's mouth.

Ning Ruan continued to chew on the chicken feet, annotating the figures of the old and the young, and looked at the young woman in purple. Although she was wearing a thick down jacket, her whole body exuded the smell of an intellectual woman.

"She really is your sister? Not the wife that Aunt Qing found for you?"

"You can eat things randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Although Sister Xiaoyou is not my own sister, she is really a sister."

"Oh... she looks quite feminine."

"You probably think everyone has a feminine look."

"What do you mean? I'm a man-in-law, right?"

In the dining room, Aunt Qing glanced at the young man playing in the yard, turned around and looked at Dong Zhen sitting in front of her, and reached out to touch Dong Zhen's high bulge, "It's great."

Ning Liheng, who was standing beside him, naturally heard that Aunt Qing remembered the fetus in her womb decades ago.

Ning Liheng never felt guilty in his heart. When the night was approaching, he was so sad that he was alone.

At this time, Ning Liheng didn't say anything. He knew that Aunt Qing's personality would turn against her. It would be bad if a reunion dinner broke out in just one sentence.

The most important thing is that people are old and they are old, and they are no longer as old as Zhao Canning and Ruan playing and playing in the yard.

It has reached the end of my life with less time. I have been angry for half my life. It is not worth it. I have wasted too much time. At this moment, I cherish the small amount of time I spent together even more.

Just for Ning Liheng, even though he was old, Aunt Qing’s face was covered with traces of time, but in his heart, she was still Xiao Qingyuan, the sweet-smiling girl on Shanghai during the glorious years.

When Ning Liheng thought of this, he couldn't help but want to put his hand on Aunt Qing's shoulder. He was afraid that Aunt Qing would look up and scold the old hooligan, so he had nowhere to put his hand, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing this subtle little move, Xiaoyou held back and didn't laugh.

At the lunch reunion dinner, Zhao Can understood something, such as Aunt Qing socializing too many times and too many people coming to pay New Year's greetings, so the New Year is celebrated in the imperial capital, which is all a scam.

As for Aunt Qing’s identity, even if she celebrates the New Year in a remote mountain area, the threshold is still flat.

After all, it’s the same truth. Aunt Qing, who is a man with a stingy mouth and a stingy heart, actually came for Ning Liheng, otherwise she wouldn’t have bought an apartment right across from Chang'an Street.

"Come on, Qingyuan, eat this, your favorite sweet and sour fish...is it delicious?"

"Swallow."

"Ha ha……"

Ning Liheng's fun lies in using the remaining days to please Aunt Qing, and she will die without regrets.

"Aunt Qing, this glass of wine is toasted you. Thank you for coming to my house for the New Year. At the same time, thank you for going to the hospital to visit Xiao Dong." Ning Nan stood up and raised his glass with his hands.

Aunt Qing looked at Ning Nan, "Ning Nan, take good care of your wife, protect your children, and don't let them be hurt."

Aunt Qing could not let go of the deep meaning of this statement after all.

Ning Nan focused on the topic, "I will definitely take good care of Dong Zhen and the children in my belly, and protect my beloved daughter Ning Ruan."

Ning Ruan was slightly stunned and a little dumb for a moment.

Ning Nan said to Ning Ruan, "Daughter, Dad owes you too much before, and from now on, Dad will love you very much."

Ning Nan was expressing his true feelings, and Zhao Can felt pain in his thighs. Ning Ruan was frightened by his father's sudden heart-wrenching words, and couldn't help but hold Zhao Can's thighs under the table and nervously pulled him.

"Okay...why are you doing that sensational? What will the two fathers and daughters say privately later." Aunt Qing said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will all raise our glasses to celebrate together and congratulate everyone on the success of everything in the new year."

Zhao Can whispered to Ning Ruan: "Look, your dad loves you very much."

"Where do you get such nonsense when eating your chicken ass?"

Ning Liheng also poured a glass of wine at this time, raised his glass toward Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Liheng.

Ning Liheng said: "Qingyuan, come and have one."

"What's the reason?"

"Reason, um... I wish you good health and a long life."

"Life for a hundred years, hahaha... you curse me to die if I can't live for a few years, right? OK! I will do it, I hope it will be as you wish."

"No, no, no, no." Ning Liheng quickly pressed Aunt Qing's wine glass, "I don't mean that."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that I live for a long time, and it's better than a hundred years old, and it's OK for a thousand years old."

"Qiansui? Qiansui is a turtle. You are so powerful. You curse me to death first, and now you call me an old turtle. That's what it means, right?"

"Hahaha... no, absolutely not, you are too worried." Ning Liheng was ashamed, Aunt Qing's mouth was still so powerful.

Ning Ruan said: "Aunt Qing, don't tease my grandfather, he always has zero IQ in front of you."

Ning Liheng pointed at Ning Ruan and smiled awkwardly.

Aunt Qing held back her laughter, picked up the wine glass and touched Ning Liheng, took a sip, and Ning Liheng drank it all in one go.

The relationship between the two is always easing.

On weekdays, Ning Liheng has a drink of about half a pound. Today, the family reunited and sat together. Ning Liheng was in a particularly good mood. After drinking a few more glasses, Ning Liheng sang a few Peking Opera lines, and finally ended with Aunt Qing with a sentence "I'm so unpleasant."

"What are you thinking?" Ning Ruan picked up the wine glass and touched Zhao Can's wine glass.

Zhao Can took back his eyes looking at the palace wall outside the window, "I didn't think of anything." He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. But he thought in his heart that if the little girl named Feng Linwan and the woman holding a long sword last night, the master and servant were not ghosts, but indeed humans, then he was still hiding in a palace in the Forbidden City. He would either be frozen to death or starved to death last night, and it would be very pitiful to think about it.

After dinner, Ning Liheng and Aunt Qing left the yard for a walk to Qin Shixi's house on the east side of the Forbidden City. Xiaoyou put on Aunt Qing's coat and helped her away.

The remaining few people gathered in the yard to burn the fire.

Ning Ruan sat for a while and felt sleepy. "I didn't sleep well last night, so I went back to my room to sleep." She got up and left.

"I don't think I'm sleeping well, either," said Zhao Can.

Ning Ruan stopped, "Do you want to sleep?"

Ning Nan quickly said, "Acan, since you haven't had a good sleep, then go back to the house to sleep."

He looked frightened that Zhao Can would sleep next to his baby daughter.

"No need, I'd better go home and sleep and take a shower and change my clothes. Uncle Ning, Aunt Dong, you can chat slowly." Zhao Can stood up, "Mr. Ning, come again."

"No." Ning Ruan replied and walked into the house.

Zhao Can returned home and took a shower, but he didn't feel sleepy. He kept thinking about all the things that happened in the Forbidden City last night.

After reviewing, Zhao Can was able to confirm that what happened last night was real and not an illusion.

When I walked to the balcony, I observed it with a telescope. There were many tourists in the Forbidden City on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there were also many people wearing various costumes, with less than a hundred wearing Hanfu.

Move the lens and aim at the areas that have not been opened for the time being, check one by one. The walls of each courtyard building are very high and only the roof can be seen.

Zhao Can simply go to the field survey in person.

From the gate of the Forbidden City, there is one Chang'an Street in each apartment, and it will be there in two or three minutes.

I bought a ticket at the door and followed the team in. Zhao Can first came to the security booth and asked the security guard before I found out that Liu Wu was working on the night shift and was not here during the day. Zhao Can was a little disappointed.

However, when leaving the security booth, Zhao Can saw that there was ash in the trash can at the door of the security booth, and walked up to see something like red kraft paper.

Zhao Can remembered that the lantern that Fenglin had picked up last night was burned. The rest of the ash must be the lantern, which proved that what he experienced last night was real.

The Forbidden City is very large, with a total of 999 and a half rooms.

It is quite difficult to find two people in these ten thousand houses.

Zhao Canzai looked carefully for a while and only involved one-third of the Forbidden City. It was already time to close the building, so he had no choice but to go out.

Liu Wu started on duty at 8 o'clock in the evening, and Zhao Can planned to come to Liu Wu again at 8 o'clock in the evening to ask about the situation.

I came back to Ningruan’s house at six o’clock for dinner.

During the period when Zhao Can was not at the Ning family in the afternoon, Ning Liheng should have had a conversation with Ning Ruan, and the conversation was very pleasant. This is a great thing for the Ning family.

Ning Ruan temporarily calmed down and did not return to her apartment to live alone. She temporarily lived under the same roof with her father and became a good girl.

Zhao Can thinks this is good. Girls should look like girls. They go to bars, race cars, fight and fight every day. Outsiders think you are Master Ning, a very unique woman, and people around you will have a headache.

At eight o'clock, Zhao Can appeared at the gate of the Forbidden City on time.

Liu Wugang walked to the door when he went to work.

"Uncle Liu, good evening." Zhao Can ran from the Ning family on the west side.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, are you here to visit the Forbidden City alone today? You can't come here often."

I didn't pay much attention to this Liu Wu yesterday. Now I look at this Liu Wu carefully, but it's a bit gloomy. It should be because I've been working as a gatekeeper in the night shift in the Forbidden City for a long time. After all, there is too much resentment here.

Moreover, few people can do this night shift job.

The two entered the security booth of the Forbidden City. Liu Wu started patrolling the first thing he did on night shifts. This was to check if there were any tourists hiding in the room. It was just a formality, simply open a few doors and take a nap in the duty room.
