Chapter 146

Qiao Nian left the matter of buying the house to Ningshuang.

The little girl moved very quickly, and in the evening, the Jing family had already moved into the house.

This house is not big, but the Jing family has never lived in such a nice place, and they started to admire it as soon as they walked in.

Ningshuang volunteered and started introducing the Jing family, from the front yard to the backyard, and even the flowers planted in the backyard.

Qiao Nian followed at the end, looking at the extremely harmonious scene, the smile in her eyes never disappeared.

But suddenly, Jing Yan appeared behind her, with his right hand over her head, showing a wooden round pendant in front of her eyes.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the pendant. When she looked closely, she could see two words engraved on it: peace.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yan actually put the pendant on her neck, "I went to the battlefield when I was fourteen, and I escaped death several times, all thanks to the protection of this safety pendant."

Qiao Nian was shocked. She couldn't help but hold down the peace pendant with both hands. She quickly turned back to look at Jing Yan, "It's so valuable, why did you give it to me?"

"My mother's family heirlooms have been given to you, so why can't I give you this peace button?" Jing Yan smiled brightly, his eyes fell on the peace button, and he whispered, "This was carved by King Pingyang himself. "

King Pingyang?

Qiao Nian was extremely surprised, "Is it the Pingyang King who disappeared eight years ago?"

That legendary God of War?

Jing Yan nodded, "The first time I went on an expedition with the army was with King Pingyang. That time we encountered an ambush, and in the end only I and King Pingyang were left to fight. Afterwards, I was rescued by King Pingyang, and I was so scared. I couldn't sleep at night, so King Pingyang personally carved this peace pendant and gave it to me."

Qiao Nian felt even more panicked after listening to it. She just wanted to take off the Ping An Pendant quickly, "In this case, this Ping An Pendant is even more valuable. I can't have it."

This is his talisman. I have experienced so many battles with him and witnessed his growth along the way.

How could it be worn around her neck?

But unexpectedly, her hand was held down by him, "Now it only makes sense for this peace pendant to be worn on you. It can protect me, and it will definitely protect you as well."

He only has one hope now, that she is safe.

Seeing the sincerity and sincerity in Jing Yan's eyes, Qiao Nian finally let go.

But then he thought of something, and hurriedly took off the sachet from his waist and gave it to Jing Yan's hand, "I don't have anything valuable to give you. I embroidered this sachet with my own hands, and the spices in it are also mine." Hand-made, if anything, this is a unique sachet in the world. ”

Jing Yan took it, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully.

The faint fragrance that hit me was indeed her scent.

At that moment, he carefully put it into his arms, "Then, this can be regarded as a token of love between you and me!"

Qiao Nian's heart overflowed with a bit of sweetness, and she nodded heavily.

After settling down his family, Jing Yan sent Qiao Nian back home.

Not far away, the two of them walked back talking and laughing all the way.

By the time they arrived at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, and I never thought that Marquis Lin had just returned to the Mansion.

"I've met the Marquis." Jing Yan bowed his hands in a salute, neither humble nor overbearing.

Marquis Lin got off the carriage, his eyes filled with displeasure. He glanced at Jing Yan, but didn't even respond. He only said to Qiao Nian, "Father, I have something to tell you."

After that, he took the lead in entering the house.

Qiao Nian frowned in displeasure, feeling that Lord Lin was being too rude.

Fortunately, Jing Yan didn't pay attention and just said, "Then, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Qiao Nian chuckled and nodded, and then followed Mr. Lin back to his house.

Arriving at the front hall, Lord Lin raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Nian as soon as he sat down.

She was standing there expressionless, completely unlike the happy look she had when she was standing next to Jing Yan just now.

He couldn't help but feel a little displeasure in his heart, "How come you can't even smile when you see your father?"

Qiao Nian glanced at Marquis Lin indifferently, not intending to pay attention to Marquis Lin's unreasonable question, and only asked coldly, "I wonder what the Marquis wants from me?"

Marquis Lin seemed to have gotten used to Qiao Nian's attitude. Although he was angry, he did not pursue it further.

He just took out a greeting card from his sleeve.

"It's from Taifu's Mansion." Lin Hou Ye said in a deep voice and threw the greeting card on the tables beside him.

Qiao Nian frowned unconsciously, "I have already met Qiu Yu today and I have made it clear to him."

Therefore, she will not accept any more greetings, let alone see that Qiu Yu again.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Lin poked the greeting post with his index finger, "This is a post written by the Grand Master himself."

Did the Taifu do it himself?

How could it be?

Qiao Nian's eyebrows knitted into a knot. She stepped forward to pick up the greeting card and read it in disbelief, only to see that the signature on it was that of the current imperial master!

Seeing Qiao Nian's puzzled face, Mr. Lin couldn't help but say, "Father, I don't know what kind of trick Qiu Yu played to persuade the Taifu to personally submit the message. However, since it was the Taifu himself who ordered Come on, you have to go.”

If she doesn't go, it means she doesn't want to give Qiu Yu face.

But the Hou Mansion did not pay attention to the Taifu.

Qiao Nian also felt a little angry in her heart, "Is there any post that Marquis Lin will accept that I can't go to?"

Didn't Qiu Yu's previous post finally reach her?

"You!" Lord Lin was anxious, and his tone became aggressive, "Father is doing this for your own good! No matter how bad Qiu Yu is, he is still the grandson of the Grand Tutor. With the support of a big tree, you will never have to worry about food and clothing in the future. What about Jing Yan? What does Jing Yan have? He just bought such a small house, and you have to pay for it! What can he give you in the future?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian was shocked, "How did the Marquis know?"

Lord Lin glared at Qiao Nian, "That is the property under my father's hands, how can I know?"

Qiao Nian stopped talking.

Ning Shuang was asked to handle the house, but she neglected this point.

But Lord Lin said again, "Aren't you worried that Qiu Yu will play tricks and want to protect the Jing family under the protection of the Marquis' Mansion? I can not expose this matter, but you can't not give the Grand Tutor's face."

So, at the moment, it is better to say that the Marquis forced her to attend the banquet than to say that he made a deal with her.

Lord Lin helped her protect the Jing family.

And she had to do something to protect the Marquisate.

So, Qiao Nian accepted the visiting card and bowed to Lord Lin, "I know, I will go."

With that, Qiao Nian turned around and left.

But after a few steps, Lord Lin's slightly angry voice came from behind, "Since you have already agreed, then prepare well for me, don't show such a face that is not eyes and nose is not nose to the Master on that day, as if I really owe you!"

Qiao Nian did not respond, nor did he stop, as if he had never heard Lord Lin's words.

Lord Lin's chest was heaving violently with anger.

He couldn't understand, he raised her for fifteen years, how could he owe her!
