Chapter 138
Kyoto, Jiang's family.
Jiang Ning and Bai Zhenyu arrived home three days later.
Originally, it certainly didn't take so much time, but Bai Zhenyu was overworked and caught a small cold, so she had to delay a little longer.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Jiang's parents had already prepared a welcoming banquet and were waiting for them.
"Oh, you've worked hard on the road, Xiaobai, come and sit here."
Jiang's mother saw the haggard Bai Zhenyu at a glance, her eyes full of heartache: "I haven't seen you for just a few days, how come you have become so thin? Did you help with farm work after returning to your hometown? Oh, look at this little face, the chin is pointed."
As she said that, she glared at Jiang Ning again: "You brought so many people back, and Xiaobai was so tired? What are you going to do!"
Jiang Ning: "..."
She couldn't help but hold her forehead.
To be honest, it was very unfair.
She didn't want Bai Zhenyu to suffer even a little bit.
Xiao Wu and his friends carried the heavy luggage, and Bai Zhenyu was picked up and dropped off by car the whole way. Although the food was not as luxurious as in Kyoto, she still had fish and meat every meal. She was also given bird's nest and ginseng chicken soup...
Even with such pampering, Bai Zhenyu still lost weight!
Who can be blamed for this?
Only Bai Jiamei, the insidious bastard, can be blamed.
Her medicine really opened Jiang Ning's eyes. It was not a one-time effect, but like a wave, one wave after another, rolling in... It took three full days to be completely cured.
Speaking of this, Jiang Ning was also depressed.
Bai Zhenyu was overworked, and she was not idle either.
It's just that it was all a sweet burden.
For the sake of this sweetness, Jiang Ning didn't explain anything and silently took the blame.
"No, Auntie... No, Mom, it's not Miss Jiang's fault. I didn't wear enough clothes and caught a cold." Bai Zhenyu's face was already red, and she was too embarrassed to look up and speak: "Miss Jiang has always taken good care of me. She didn't... let me get tired, and my relatives didn't... let me do farm work."
Mother Jiang was skeptical.
At this time, Father Jiang coughed heavily and interrupted their conversation: "Don't talk in the wind, come in quickly, and eat first."
"Oh, right, right."
Mother Jiang took Bai Zhenyu's hand and pulled her towards the restaurant.
"I asked the kitchen to make brown sugar ginger tea. After dinner, you can drink some to get rid of the cold."
Walking behind the two of them, Jiang Ning sighed silently in her heart: Sure enough, the status of my only child is getting lower and lower!
Father Jiang walked on the left of Jiang Ning.
He looked at Jiang Ning and asked casually, "Is everything going well?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "No problem."
Dad Jiang sighed and continued, "Speaking of which, your mother and I went to that small county town a few years ago. That was about 20 years ago..."
"Really?"
Jiang Ning was a little surprised.
She did learn from the village chief that her parents had donated money to Bai Zhenyu's village, but she thought that only the money had arrived, but the person had not been there.
Now it seems that it is not that simple.
"At that time, transportation was really inconvenient. There were no airplanes or high-speed trains. There were only slow green trains and ox carts. Your mother and I went there, firstly to travel and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland, and secondly, for a special purpose."
Jiang Ning frowned: "What special purpose?"
"Your grandfather has an old comrade-in-arms who is very high-ranking and mysterious. When I was seven or eight years old, I went to his house with your grandfather. I just stood outside the pavilion from a distance and saw his silhouette."
Dad Jiang recalled the past and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The mysterious man was surrounded by many guards, and they all carried real weapons on their backs.
That scene shocked him so much that he remembered it for more than 40 years.
"Twenty years ago, our family's business was far from being as big as it is now, and we were always squeezed by various forces, and it was very difficult to survive."
"At that time, your grandfather was already in poor health and was often hospitalized. He wrote to his old comrade-in-arms for help for our family's affairs."
"The other party agreed, but asked us to go to this small county town to investigate a person named Li Youlan."
Speaking of this, Jiang's father sighed again.
It seems that he thought of some difficult past events.
"We visited for a long time, but we didn't find such a person."
"Later, your mother suggested that we set up a support project there, called the Youlan Fund, and issued a reward. If anyone can provide information about Li Youlan, they will be rewarded with a large sum of money."
"Now,It's been almost 20 years, and there's still no news."
"I'm afraid your grandfather's old comrade-in-arms has passed away long ago."
This matter, at this point, is over.
Jiang Ning touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"Dad, have you ever considered that Li Youlan might be older than grandpa and others, and has passed away long ago?"
Dad Jiang nodded: "In fact, your mother and I still suspect that Li Youlan changed his name! In that era, transportation was inconvenient and information was blocked. If the other party really wanted to hide, we would never find him. "
While talking, the two of them also entered the restaurant.
Jiang's father told her about this, obviously just treating it as an old story and saying it casually.
However, Jiang Ning became interested and kept it in mind.
While eating, she secretly asked the system what was going on and whether there was a person named Li Youlan.
[This is a person who was not mentioned in the original plot, and it is difficult for this system to verify.]
Jiang Ning thought: "The ancestors of the Bai family were glorious. Could this person be related to the Bai family?"
[If so, it is very likely.]
"Then Xiao Tongzi, please take the trouble to check Bai Zhenyu's family tree."
[Does this matter have anything to do with you, the host?]
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Ning picked up a piece of steak with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it: "Just satisfying my curiosity. ”
【Hmph, annoying host. (ｰ̀дｰ́)】
Xiao Tongzi was somewhat dissatisfied that he had to work harder just because of the host's curiosity.
However, now that he had a rough idea, it would be much easier to verify a person's information.
After the welcoming banquet, the system gave Jiang Ning the answer.
【This Li Youlan is actually the Bai family's ancestor. In order to seek refuge, she took her youngest son to Diancheng and changed her name to Niu Cuihua. She died very young, less than 40 years old, so naturally no one knew her background.】
"Oh, that's it."
This answer was within Jiang Ning's guess.
"It seems that the successive rises in the original plot are not fantasy cultivation, but human relationships. ”
The branch of the Bai family that was so powerful back then, what will happen to it now?
It is probably that it has expanded, become extremely powerful, and has great strength in both the white and black worlds!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning was vaguely excited.
The heroine is indeed worthy of being the heroine, very powerful.
If Bai Zhenyu had not taken the script of the little wife, she would have been a group favorite Feng Aotian.
This damn Lu Xu, not only sucked the blood of the Jiang family, but also sucked the blood of Bai Zhenyu, ruining their bright future.
This revenge must be avenged fiercely.
"Lu Xu, Lu Xu, don't let me down, make good use of your male lead halo! I really want to see what an interesting scene it would be to use your sword to cut your future..."
