Chapter 5 First Encounter at the Ice Rink
Feng Jiu and her classmate Wu Meilan are wandering around Siping Street. Since 16, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China has implemented the "American Six-Three-Three School System", that is, six years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of high school. They are now High school three-year student, but only [-] years old.

This era is the era when old and new ideas are colliding fiercely, and the attitude of Chinese society towards educating girls is even more inconsistent. Ladies from famous families like Fengjiu and Meilan all went to private schools in their own families when they were young; The courses offered by the private schools of enlightened people include, in addition to the necessary Chinese classes, there are also English classes and math classes. They do not go to regular middle schools until they are 12 years old.

Usually the students would take an entrance examination first, and the test results proved that both Fengjiu and Melanie could go directly to the third grade of junior high school. They met in class, hit it off right away, and have been together for four years.

They also have weekly piano lessons together, taught by a French female pianist, and practice French by the way.

Now that the school is on winter vacation, the piano class has been advanced from 04:30 pm to [-]:[-] am. After class, the two of them will be escorted by Wu's driver to Siping Street for shopping.

Siping Street, not far from the Forbidden City, is the earliest pedestrian street in China. It has a long history and was formed in the Ming Dynasty. , is the most prosperous commercial street in the north, even the commercial street in Beiping is not so popular.

The streets are bustling with business people greeting customers with endless voices. Apart from Chinese and some Westerners, most of the people coming and going are Japanese women in kimonos. Most of them are short and small, but their expressions are Arrogant, pulling on clogs, triumphantly knocking on the ground, making a crisp sound, accompanied by nodding, bowing and trotting interpreters, accompanying these relatives stationed in Fengtian, or the Japanese consulate, or the wives of Japanese businessmen in and out There are various jewelry shops, suit shops, silk shops and Japanese restaurants.

Fengjiu and Melanie looked angrily and helplessly, and simply hid in a new-style bookstore out of sight.

After wandering around for a long time, they bought a few novels and Feng Jiuduo bought a few dictionaries. The driver of the Wu family took the books and other gadgets back to the car parked at the east exit.

The two of them walked slowly with their arms crossed and gossiped, their eyes still wandering around the shops on both sides. Both of them are 16 years old this year, and neither of them is engaged. The girl’s family is rich and unmarried. The happiest time in a woman's life.

After a while, the two turned into a familiar fur shop, and Feng Jiu caught a light gray mink fur hat, which he planned to give to his eldest sister who celebrated her birthday soon—the eldest sister, Feng Lin, was studying at a university in Peking. Inspired by Melanie, she simply bought a black mink fur coat for her mother whose birthday will be a month later. Seeing the neatness of these two ladies buying clothes and paying the bill, the owner of the fur shop rubbed his hands with joy. The mood is really like the sun is shining.

Melanie's family owned a silk and satin shop, focusing on the business of wealthy people in the three eastern provinces, and the "Lao Tianhe" silk and satin shop was well-known throughout the country.

"In terms of workmanship, we need our own tailor. Look at how fine the seaming and quilting are." Feng Jiu looked at the hat over and over again, and said with satisfaction.

"No, Lao Maozi's skill is still not good." Melanie agreed.

A mink hat is expensive, not to mention the shiny and flawless mink coat. The owner of the fur shop packed the hat, and Melanie skillfully reported her mother's body size, leaving it to the owner to make the clothes. After further adjustments, it will be delivered to your door.

Naturally a little thirsty after walking around the street for so long, the two of them entered the "Snow Cheese Shop" ice shop again to eat something cool to satisfy their cravings: at home, there are elders in charge, so eating ice in winter is absolutely unacceptable.

Before entering the store, they were already being followed by a young man.

This man has deep eye sockets, slightly lower eyebrows, a fashionable back hairstyle, and his hair is black and shiny with pomade. He wears gray cashmere rice, a long black scarf, and a PP wool top hat of the same color on his right hand. His complexion is also slightly dark. He is sitting By the window, he seemed to be waiting for someone with his feet up.

The two girls are in their best years, and both are beautiful, one is tall and elegant, the other is petite and exquisite, but in comparison, the tall one seems to be more beautiful, with a more lively and powerful personality.

He came to Guangdong, this was the first time he came to the north to meet up with friends, and by the way, inspect the family's business in the northeast.Along the way, I am used to seeing the graceful and charming beauties in the south, and the healthy and bold Rouge in the North, but in Fengtian, I found this northern girl who is more elegant than the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally aroused a strong interest.

He is also a romantic temperament, but he can't talk about dirty.

Looking at the girl's age is quite young, her clothes are also very simple, she has a strong student spirit, but the material of the clothes is of high quality, the style is simple and elegant, it seems that her family background is excellent.

There are not many people in the store, they are all young people—the stomachs of older people are generally weakened, and they cannot do such unhealthy things—both men and women are well-dressed.Also, how can someone who has this spare money to eat ice in the winter be a poor person.

Poor people are most afraid of winter: burning coal for cooking and heating is a big expense, cotton clothes are not warm enough, and food is not enough, how can they have such leisure and elegance to eat ice in winter.

He watched the two girls sit down. Wearing a black turtleneck sweater and white trousers, the waiter who looked very western came up to say hello, and respectfully asked them to order with one hand behind his back.

After the beauty had finished ordering, he also took the opportunity to walk up to the two girls to say hello and strike up a conversation.

When Fengjiu and Meilan go shopping, there are always servants from the two families taking turns to follow and protect them. The driver from Wufu just hasn't come back yet.

Of course, Feng Jiu was not worried that they would run into Deng Tuzi. After all, being stopped to ask for their name and address was simply a homework that new-style female students had to face.

Fengjiu politely expressed to the handsome man in front of him that he didn't want any interaction, Melanie didn't say anything as usual, but just watched the excitement with big eyes blinking.

Bao Buqu doesn't think he's disobedient—for a girl, it's always necessary to be reserved.

He apologized to the two little girls, turned around and returned to his seat in a graceful manner, anyway, the distance was not far away, so it didn't delay him to continue admiring the beauties at all.

Melanie turned her back to Bao Buqu, but Feng Jiu was facing him.

Fengjiu saw a bowl of smoothie in front of the young man, but he didn't eat it, just looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help feeling a little bit ashamed.

Melanie leaned over and whispered, "He's pretty handsome."

Feng Jiu snorted lightly, noncommittal.

The most important thing in their Tang family is handsome men. Apart from their handsome father and eldest brother, there are also uncles and cousins ​​who are all outstanding figures. The second cousin Tang Fengyun is even a famous movie star nowadays.

But so what, there are those with human face and animal heart, and those with embroidered pillows full of straw, only a few of them are not bad.

The big family has a lot of right and wrong, and Fengjiu has been immersed in such an environment since she was a child, and she is full of pessimistic emotions towards men.

After the desserts ordered by the two were on the table, Feng Jiu couldn't care less about the man's gaze.

What Melanie wanted was the store’s signature freezing point—“Maple Syrup Cheese”, thick and thick yogurt poured with a layer of glistening dark brown maple syrup, which made people drool; "Ice Cream Popsicles" are produced in the famous Madier ice shop on Central Street in Harbin. It is said that a Jew from Germany opened the shop. The velvet yellow popsicles have no fancy appearance, square and square, but the taste is Solid, rich and delicious, sweet but not greasy, with a fragrance in the ice.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Melanie picked up the small silver spoon and began to eat.Feng Jiu is most proud of the taste of Madier, he must eat it in winter, and now he can put it in his mouth, his big eyes are so beautiful that he squints, and he can see that he is extremely comfortable.

Bao Buqu watched Feng Jiu eating popsicles, his moist lips were stimulated by the ice, and his lips became more bright red, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, not daring to look any further.

When he saw that they had finished their ice cream and didn't ask for more, they settled their bills and got up to leave, so he went forward again.

"I, Bao Buyi, come from Guangzhou. I saw the two ladies today. I want to make friends. Dare I ask the girl's name?"

He is also a foreign student, and it is not easy to say such a thing.

Melanie said nothing, and looked at him again with her big sparkling eyes.

Bao Buqu smiled at her, but turned his eyes back to Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Your name is Bao Buqu?"

"Exactly." Bao Buqu stared at the girl in front of him with a smile.

A closer look reveals that on her delicate and majestic oval face, all the facial features are born well, and the matching is even better. In addition, her skin is snowy and torn, and at a young age, she already has the appearance of a peerless beauty.

But the most seductive thing is the cunning in the depths of the nimble eyes, which is unpredictable, which only increases... the desire for possession.

His ancestral home is in Guangdong, and the "Xiaoxiang Baojia" can be regarded as a famous family: since the shipping in the Ming Dynasty, he has been at the forefront of trading with Fanbang and has always been the most important imperial merchant.

In Nanyang and even the United States, the descendants of the Bao family multiplied and formed a complex and huge force, which penetrated into all walks of life. The people Bao Buqi met there were inextricably linked with their Bao family.

"I know who your elder brother is." Feng Jiu also smiled.

"Oh? Miss actually knows my brother?" Bao Buqu felt a little pleasantly surprised.

For a moment, he couldn't remember how his brother, who was a few years older than himself, would have anything to do with Miss Fengtian. Could it be the daughter of a business partner's family?
Feng Jiu didn't answer the question, and said bluntly, "He's called Bao Buxian, right?"

"..." Bao Buqu choked, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Melanie at the side thought about it and laughed too.

Her good friend is best at cursing around corners.

Although Bao Buqu received a Western-style education, he had to learn "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" since he was a child.

"Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, and power cannot be subdued." This little girl is really narrow-minded.

He laughed, and something flashed in the eye sockets deeper than the northerners, and he asked again gently and persistently: "Miss's name, can you tell me?"

At this moment, heavy drums and melodious bells came from the tall bell towers and drum towers on both sides of Siping Street. Feng Jiu looked out of the window, and the twilight of Fengtian was coming from the west at a speed visible to the naked eye. , ringing the clock on the hour means that it is already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Although spring has begun, the days in Fengtian are still extremely short. Fengjiu is afraid that his family members will worry, so he inevitably has a strong tone, "Aren't you from the Bao family in Guangzhou? I heard that the Bao family is very powerful. Even if you are in Fengtian, ask about it." What is so difficult about people?"

After finishing speaking, she smiled at him, pulled Melanie who stretched her neck to watch the scene with relish, deftly passed through several rows of tables and chairs, and slipped away along the west gate of the "Ice Cheese Shop" familiarly. .

Bao Buqu was a little surprised to see the two girls running away like slippery fish, and the eyes around him were not lacking in ridicule, so he walked back to his seat, thought about it, or He couldn't help covering his face with his hands and laughing softly.

"You'an!", with a clear and clear voice, another person flashed in at the door of the store: a black coat, kid leather gloves, a tall and straight figure, wearing a long white scarf, just looking at the momentum is already extraordinary, After taking off the black fedora cap on his head, the visitor showed a handsome face with a slight smile on his lips, and even the waiters who were far away secretly cheered: "Why are you here in the store today?" What a character.

"Hey Ruiqing, why did you come here? Otherwise, you would be able to see my sweetheart!" Bao Buqu acted coquettishly but never shy away from it, which made the other customers who had been watching the free show tremble a little. Ground goosebumps.

The person who came was Ning Zheng, the current owner of the three eastern provinces and the third son of Ning Zuoxiang, the security commander of the three eastern provinces.

The two of them met when they were studying at Columbia University in the United States—both entered the school at the age of 16, and they were both Chinese, so they were naturally assigned to a dormitory to take care of each other. We need to hug each other to keep warm, although one is the "old money" of the Zanying family, and the other is the "new money" of the new dignitaries, but the two share the same interests, so they have always gotten along very happily.

After graduating from his undergraduate degree, Bao Buqu continued to stay at Columbia University to study for a master's degree, while Ning Zheng transferred to Virginia Military Institute to become a professional soldier.

Ning Zheng finished his military academy in only two years, and then traveled to Europe with Bao Buquxiang, who graduated with a master's degree.

The two of them come from prominent families, are outstanding in appearance, and both graduated from prestigious schools. Regardless of what is going on in their bones, at least they look like handsome young men on the outside. All are invincible, and the popularity of women is too good to be good.

The young man's spirit is unavoidable, and he doesn't take women seriously.

Ning Zheng heard the sad words from his old friend, so he gave him a warm hug first, and lightly patted his shoulder, then sat down calmly across from him, and took the gift box presented by the waiter. After wiping his hands with a snow-white hot towel, he said slowly, "Hey, what number is your sweetheart?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response. Ning Zheng, who had just told the waiter what to eat, looked up and found that his old friend was actually smiling, but this smile seemed rather strange to him.

"...Why does it look different this time?"

Just now, Bao Buqu had been reminiscing about Feng Jiu's lithe figure before he left, and flew away quickly like a little swallow that predicted the coming rainstorm, but her graceful figure seemed to be engraved in his heart.

"Ruiqing, I think I've really fallen in love."

"...It seems to be a beautiful encounter. Then what is the name of the muse in your heart? How old is it? Has anyone agreed?"

"So what if I promise, I want it if I want it. Ruiqing, I want to get married."

Ning Zheng was caught off guard by his old friend's triple jump, he moved the red bean smoothie he was eating just now to the side, and placed his arms crossed on the table.

"Well, it's rare to see you go crazy once. I support you. When I see you next time, introduce me."

"Definitely." Bao Buqu wanted to ask Ning Zheng, the local householder, to help find someone, but when he thought of the words the little girl left before leaving, he laughed again. That's right, it's not easy for him to find someone for the Bao family in Guangzhou. ?
Seeing that the little girl is well-educated, she should be a girl from a family of poets and books, without any arrogance, and her temper is probably a little pepper type, not so obedient, but the most lovable.

In winter, no one will get married, so use Fengtian's time to pursue this beautiful little girl well.

The two hadn't seen each other for a month since the last time they parted in Guangzhou. This time, Bao Buqu was here to inspect the operations of shops and trading companies in the north on behalf of his father, so he stayed in his own apartment.

Ning Zheng accompanied his old friend who insisted on eating ice in winter when he arrived in Fengtian, and after finishing his craving, he sent him back to the small mansion of the Bao family located near Huihuiying.

After returning to the handsome mansion, the second and fourth younger sisters gathered around, arguing that my brother hadn't come home for so many years, and he must accompany them to the ice rink tomorrow to skate.

In fact, the mirror lake in Shuai's mansion is not small. It has been frozen in winter, and it has been frozen solid for a long time, which is completely suitable for skating.

But the girl's family just likes to be lively, and they unanimously requested to go to Wanliutang.

It is a paradise for young people in winter.

Ning Zheng has been so busy since he came back from abroad that his father wanted him to get into the situation as soon as possible and lead the Ning army.

At this time, there are Japan and Russia eyeing the Northeast, and the warlords of various factions such as the Inland faction are coveting. Ning Zuoxiang is getting older, and the young officers under his command are gradually becoming stronger.

It happened that I had been busy with the things at hand for a while, and I could relax tomorrow, and there was nothing wrong with showing my brother and sister's love, so I agreed straight away, which made the two little girls Qiaozhiqiaomei smile.

As long as there is no snow in Fengtian in winter, the weather is always sunny.

Ning Zheng patiently waited for the two younger sisters to get into the car dressed like polar bears. He drove the two younger sisters to Wanliutang and parked the car at the northeast corner of the skating rink.

Wanliutang is actually a big pond——in spring, willows spit out new buds, delicate yellow and light green, with green shadows dancing; The magnificent lotus in a vast expanse of green is somewhat like the scenery of West Lake and Su Causeway.

In winter, when the water in the pool freezes, people from the municipal government will send people to take care of the ice surface. In the twelfth lunar month, it will become a huge ice skating rink, attracting young students, children and young gentlemen. The ladies are here to have fun.

Although it is already early spring and February, the weather is still very cold, and minus ten degrees is normal.There are quite a few stalls renting furs, coats, and handbags on the edge of the ice rink.Hand stuffiness is well-deserved of its reputation. It is as thick as a small quilt, and the fingers cannot be bent when it is put on the hand. The temperature on the ice is lower. Many people with poor skills or those who ride on the ice car will cry cold in a short time, so The market for renting clothes next door is quite promising.

There are also those selling roasted sweet potatoes, candied pear paste, and popsicles... It is a lively scene.

After the two sisters got out of the car, they ran over quickly to watch the excitement, and Ning Zheng followed with a large bag of equipment to be used.As usual, many long wooden chairs were placed on the frozen ground next to the ice rink for skaters to change their shoes and take a short rest.

Ning Zheng watched the two younger sisters stuff their feet in thick wool socks into their white skates, and then knelt on the ice to tighten the laces for them respectively: they often tied them too loosely, so there was no Sliding for a while can easily sprain the ankle due to insufficient support.

He watched as Qiaozhi and Qiaoxin merged steadily into the crowd that was slowly turning counterclockwise: the center of the skating rink was the place for adults and children on ice carts, novices and those with limited levels consciously Skate on the outermost edge, and a smaller skating rink connected to it further away is the world of real masters.

Ning Zheng changed into his black skates. These inline skates were specially mailed back from the United States by him after traveling thousands of miles. He has worn them for two years, and the shoes and feet are in the best condition. He took another look. Everything is going well, sisters, both of them are neither good nor bad, and are slapping and sliding each other excitedly.

Ning Zheng carefully dodged several clumsy beginners, preventing his sharp skates from stabbing the faces of those who fell on the ground, crossed the big ice rink, and entered the world where several masters were showing their superb skills.

As soon as he came in, he tapped the ice with his left foot, turned to the left, and stopped on the ice. He looked left and right at the skater's skating direction on the ice, and then decided whether he was skating clockwise or counterclockwise. Well, I suddenly felt red clouds passing by in front of my eyes.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen, tall and slender, was flying past him on figure skates. She was wearing a red army-style woolen coat with two rows of large black buttons on it, and black trousers. The white roller skates are lightly pointing the front teeth of the skates alternately from left to right, and start to run on the ice at a high speed. How many circles, while spinning like a gust of wind, at the same time, the body leaned back, a fascinating arc was naturally sunken at the waistline, and the figure was graceful, like a ball of fire, which burned into Ning Zheng's eyes unexpectedly .

Ning Zheng is a master of sports. When he was in the United States, he was the state record holder in several sports such as long-distance running and high jump. As for skating, although he only likes speed skating, he likes downhill skiing, but it does not delay his fascination with figure skating at all. .As long as he has time, he will go to watch the various levels of figure skating championships held near universities and military academies with his friends. Of course, he also likes gymnastics, which is very entertaining.

The little girl in red did another two-week hook jump, jumping high and floating. This level is already comparable to that of a professional player. Several young people watching by the side spontaneously applauded her. , looking elegant and proud, smiled and slid away with a carefree look.

Ning Zheng stared at the concentric circles left on the ice when she was circling just now, and suddenly felt her heart beating a little faster.

He raised his eyes and went after the girl just now.

At this moment, a milk doll, who was only two or three years old, ran crookedly from the junction of the big ice rink. It seemed that the person who looked after him was negligent and let such a small doll slip into such a place. dangerous place.

When everyone realized that the situation was dangerous, a man who was speed skating with his hands behind his back had no time to stop, and was about to bump into this little doll. Some people standing on the other side covered their hands in fright. Eyes - This sharp ice knife is likely to cut the child's body, face and even eyes without long eyes.

Suddenly a flash of red light flashed, and the little girl in red rushed over like lightning, bent down and picked up the baby, and hugged him and spun around a few times to get rid of it. Huge momentum.

Only the people on the shore breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, there was another scream. A female speed skater who was so engrossed in skating that she forgot to observe her surroundings had already arrived behind the girl in red. It's not good, but she seemed to be frightened stupid, screaming, but she still rushed over straight.

This girl in red is exactly Feng Jiu—it’s not too cold outside today, she begged her elder brother for a long time, and the elder brother who never saw her face finally agreed to let the driver drive her to skate here—— Feng Jiuyi There was a burst of despair, but all I could do in the blink of an eye was to hug the little one and turn sideways slightly, hoping that the area where the two collided would be as small as possible, so that the impact would not be so violent.

Everyone was in despair, when the ear-piercing sound of skates slicing across the ice surface came again, a black figure rushed towards him faster than any skater just now, Feng Jiu suddenly felt his world spinning, and together with the milk doll He was suddenly hugged into a wide embrace, hugged tightly, his feet were lifted off the ground, lifted up, and then lowered.Feng Jiu was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and subconsciously hugged the child in his arms even tighter, completely unaware of what happened.

The onlookers saw that a young man prevented a serious accident with his thunderous aura and vigorous skill, and couldn't help applauding excitedly.

Feng Jiu felt like he was going around in circles, circle after circle.She raised her head and quietly opened her eyes, so she just fell into a pair of eyes in front of her without any defense, and there was a faint smile in those eyes.Fengjiu thought at the time, it turns out that there are really such beautiful eyes in the world, like the starry sky, like the sea, like the soft spring breeze blowing over the willow treetops in Wanliutang in March in Fengtian's sunny spring.

He didn't seem to know how amazing his explosive power was just now, and how grateful his actions were.

The two looked at each other, as if they could hear each other's rapid heartbeat.

After all this fuss, the careless baby's parents finally noticed that their baby was missing. The two people who hurried over heard the description of others, and only then did they know that their baby was missing in just a short while. Pimple has had two frightening brushes with death.

They thanked Feng Jiu and Ning Zheng a thousand times, and wanted to invite them to dinner, but both of them quickly declined.

The little baby was not frightened, but still stared at the big black eyes, which were filled with his curiosity that was greater than the sky. On one side, a fat face like a big red apple trembled and kissed with joy. My dear, probably because I am young, I still don't know what fear is.

After they left, the two perpetrators who had been waiting for a long time and almost caused a catastrophe also blushed, and embarrassedly asked Feng Jiu and Ning Zheng to forgive them. Does not count.

In the end, all the spectators dispersed, leaving only Feng Jiu and Ning Zheng.

The two younger sisters who love to join in the fun are not among them. Ning Zheng looked out of the ice rink and was not surprised to see them holding a bunch of candied pear paste and eating happily.

Feng Jiu was full of gratitude to Ning Zheng in front of him.

She stepped on her skates and bowed to Ning Zheng without any shyness, opened her crisp voice, and said words of thanks. Ning Zheng only saw her red lips opening and closing, and didn't care about what she was saying at all. In my heart, I just thought, how can someone speak so nicely to the originally somewhat rough and casual Fengtian, just like the petals of a lily in an empty valley in spring, raindrops in summer beating on bamboo leaves, and pigeon whistles streaking across the clear sky in autumn , a beeping charcoal fire roasts the fireplace in winter.

"... Okay?" After Feng Jiu finished speaking, she found that the young man in front of her who had just saved her did not respond, but just looked at her all the way, and she couldn't help but shut up embarrassingly.

Only then did Ning Zheng realize something was wrong, so he asked, "What?"

Feng Jiu had no choice but to repeat what he wanted to invite him to dinner.

Ning Zheng originally wanted to refuse, but it was too embarrassing to ask someone to invite him to dinner with a little effort.

But after thinking about it, he nodded again, "Okay, what do you want me to eat?"

Feng Jiu felt that this man was very generous, so he smiled happily, and said that there was an old Beijing copper charcoal hot pot nearby, and the mutton tasted very delicious, all of which were raised in the Horqin Grassland, and the mutton slices were very authentic, would you like to try it?
Ning Zheng readily agreed.

Ning Zheng took the opportunity to ask Feng Jiu's name, Feng Jiu had nothing to hide from his benefactor, so he said it directly; Ning Zheng told Feng Jiu that his name was Ning Ruiqing.However, while it's still early, how about some more laps?

The two separated politely, one continued speed skating, and the other continued to practice figure skating skills. After a while, Feng Jiu sat on the bench to rest, and saw a few lively boys who looked like middle school students Slip over, sit next to Feng Jiu, turn to talk to Feng Jiu.

They looked like they knew each other, Feng Jiu also talked to them for a while, Ning Zheng looked at them from a distance, one of them was sitting closest to Feng Jiu, a very handsome boy, blushing, and took off his gloves His left hand was slowly moving towards Feng Jiu calmly, and when he was about to touch her thin white hand that was temporarily propped on the bench, Feng Jiu looked down at it inadvertently, and then raised it naturally. He straightened his hair with his right hand, said something again, then smiled, and quickly got up to continue skating.

The boy who almost succeeded in holding the hand of his beloved girl was inevitably dejected. The other companions who helped cheer him up also looked regretful, but they still patted him on the shoulder to let him continue to work hard.

Ning Zheng is thoughtful, this little girl, she can take care of herself.

Ning Zheng saw that Feng Jiu was dancing all over the field, so he took off his skates and put on boots to go to the stand selling candied pear paste on the ice rink: the tall corn stalks were covered with all kinds of candied pear paste. Two bunches of hemp yam, two bunches of Shanlihong, two bunches of Begonia fruit, and two bunches of Shanlihong stuffed with bean paste. After paying the bill, I walked back with it in my hand, just as Feng Jiu slid over, and he shook his hand at her. Feng Jiu smiled and slid over quickly.

At this moment, Ning Zheng turned his head and saw his personal bodyguard, Bi Datong in plain clothes hurried over, with anxious eyes, he said softly, "Third Young Master, the Beidaying camp has mutinied."

Ning Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but there was some turmoil in his heart—the foreshadowing a while ago will finally come to fruition today.

Feng Jiu had already slid over, glanced at him, then nodded to Bi Datong who had just arrived, showing the stranger's kindness, and immediately turned to the candied pear paste in his hands.

"What do you want to eat?" Ning Zheng didn't immediately respond to his subordinates, but just asked Feng Jiu.

"Hemp yam and sweetened bean paste."

Ning Zheng smiled and handed the two to her, "It seems that you like sweets. Sorry, there is an urgent matter at home and I have to go back. We can only make an appointment for dinner next time. Can you leave me a phone number?"

Feng Jiu pondered for a while, and the clever Bi Datong had already taken out the small notepad and a fountain pen that he carried with him.

Feng Jiu quickly reported the phone number of the hall of the Tang Mansion, and said the extension number.

Ning Zheng has a very good memory. After he came back, his father kept asking him to visit the Tang Mansion. Although he had no interest in procrastinating on going, he remembered the phone number of the Tang Mansion at a glance. When he heard the familiar phone number , couldn't help being startled, gave Feng Jiu another deep look, and said goodbye to her quickly.

Ning Zheng found the two younger sisters who were having fun again in the crowd, stuffed the remaining candied pear cream in his hands, and told them to wait here, and Zhi Changsheng would pick them up in a car later, brother, I am really sorry, something happened Had to leave first.Ignoring Qiaozhi's pouted lips in an instant, she strode away with her subordinates.

While walking, Bi Dayong took a peek at his young master: "Third Young Master, isn't this lady...?"

"En." Ning Zheng replied absent-mindedly.

"That is the younger sister of the third young lady in the future?"

"...No", Ning Zheng suddenly stopped, and Bi Datong almost bumped into his back, "It's the third young lady."

Bi Datong: "..."

They hurried to the Peking University camp. Sure enough, Ji Songling was there, and his flexibility was trustworthy: the smoke bombs released as planned really hooked Shi Hanzhang, the "family slave of the four surnames", and the "rebel general" once again planned to lead his subordinates Mutiny to the Ning army's deadly enemy, the Lu faction.

Because he had been prepared for a long time, Ning Zheng did not shed blood, and finally relieved Shi Hanzhang, the commander of the third army, who had always been disliked.
