Chapter 307 The Last Wish of the Unlucky Father and Daughter in Ancient China 7
Bai Xingyang crossed his fingers. His elder and second brothers told him to listen to Ning Chuan when playing outside. He said innocently, "Well, then let's not change, right?"
"Okay," Chang'an readily returned the things to Bai Xingyang, and then said: "Among your friends, only Mr. Ning is worth making friends with, you'd better pay attention to the others."
She said this without any intention of avoiding people. The people who just watched Bai Xingyang being tricked like a fool without saying anything, when they heard Changan say this, someone immediately jumped out and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means literally, don't you understand?" Chang'an stood on the stool and stared at the man with his round eyes.
He looks like a disaster scene, how dare he follow others to beg for money? He is the ugliest in the group, and he is also the most narrow-minded.
When others heard Chang'an say this, they felt embarrassed and ashamed, but he was like a dog whose tail was stepped on, jumping out to bite people.
Gu Laoliu held Chang'an in his arms. Being disturbed, he no longer had the mood to eat outside. He had seen the night view anyway, so he might as well go back.
He looked at Bai Xingyang and said calmly: "I'll give the top floor to you, just give it to me at the original price."
It is impossible for them to be so generous as to not want the principal. They cannot get the interest now, but there will always be a day when they can get it. They have money with this naive person.
Ning Chuan quickly took out two thousand taels of silver and handed it over with both hands, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I am very grateful. I will definitely thank you handsomely someday."
"No need," Gu Laoliu took the banknote, hugged Chang'an and left lazily. His steps were as light as if he was walking on clouds. As his long legs moved, his clothes swayed gently in the wind, like an immortal walking on the clouds from the ninth heaven.
Ning Chuan added silently in his heart, "A greedy immortal."
Bai Xingyang moved closer to Ning Chuan, pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Xiao Ning, that little girl seems to like broken stones very much. If I give her a stone, will she be my friend?"
Ning Chuan looked at the father and daughter's backs disappearing at the stairs, and asked softly, "Do you like them very much?"
"Yeah, I like it." He couldn't help wanting to get closer to them. There was a peaceful and tranquil aura about them. It seemed that if he got close to them, the restlessness around him would disappear, and he would feel at peace.
Ning Chuan looked into his eyes, which were shining with a pure light, a purity that had not been erased by worldly wisdom.
"Then go make friends with them. But it's late today, and we don't know who they are from. How about asking tomorrow?"
"Okay, let's have dinner then."
Bai Xingyang looked at the other people who had already sat down with a serious face, and said seriously: "This dinner is the last meal I will treat you to. We will go our separate ways from now on, and you don't come to me again."
The little girl didn't like them, and if she knew he was still associating with them, she would definitely not want to bother with him.
Those people looked unhappy when they heard this. This idiot wanted to stop being friends with them just because of two words from that little brat?
They were the friends who had been with him the longest, and that was just a three-year-old child.
The cross-eyed young man was the first to jump up, "Bai Xingyang, is this how you treat your friends? What do you think we are? Dogs that come when you call them and go away when you wave them away?"
Bai Xingyang was at a loss and quickly denied: "I didn't, I treat you as friends, but you don't really treat me as a friend, you like the stones in my house."
As soon as he said this, the whole private room fell silent. They thought he was a fool, but they didn't expect that the fool had already seen through them.
Then I heard Bai Xingyang say in a frustrated tone: "Only Ning Chuan treats me sincerely. Originally, my father didn't allow me to be friends with you. But you said that if I didn't be friends with you, you wouldn't be able to explain to your family. That's why I disobeyed my father and continued to associate with you."
Mr. Bai has long known what kind of people they are. Every time they go to the Bai Mansion, they pretend to be well-behaved, sensible and motivated. But Mr. Bai pretends to be ignorant and watches them perform in front of him.
Except for Ning Chuan, everyone's faces turned pale and red, and then red and black. They were too embarrassed to stay any longer, so they all stood up and left. The party tonight ended in a bad mood.
Chang'an and her sixth father did not return to the palace immediately after coming out of the Zhaixing Tower. They strolled on the street for a while and came to the place where sky lanterns were released.
The Kongming lanterns floating slowly into the sky are like stars in the sky, conveying the wishes of the wishers to the gods.
It was the first time that Chang'an saw such a beautiful scene. The sky was full of sky lanterns shining like stars, which shocked this country bumpkin.
But she couldn't control her mouth, "Dad, instead of spending their free time flying lanterns and making wishes, they might as well rely on their own efforts. Maybe their wishes will come true one day. Trying to achieve something beyond your expectations by making wishes is just deceiving yourself."
The little girl next to them had just finished releasing a Kongming lantern when her bubble of illusion was suddenly popped by the kid. She looked towards Chang'an, half crying.
"Can't you say something nice?"
Changan: ...She didn't mean it, really.
"Well? Little sister, are you pretending you didn't hear what I said?" Chang'an didn't know how to comfort her, and she couldn't say that her wish would come true.
Because the wish made by this young lady was, "I, the believer Li Qiao, have loved Young Master Ouyang for a long time. Please bless me, God, and hope that I can marry Young Master Ouyang and live together forever."
The young lady's favorite Mr. Ouyang has a fiancée. The two are well matched and both families have reached the stage of setting a date. Once the wedding date is agreed upon, Mr. Ouyang will marry his bride.
Why don't you like anyone else? Why do you have to like a married man? She knew very well that making a wish was just to comfort herself and give herself spiritual sustenance.
She knew it was one thing, but when others exposed this illusion, she found it hard to accept it.
Gu Laoliu hurriedly took Chang'an away. He was really afraid that his daughter would accidentally say something else, which would cause public outrage and get her beaten.
On the way back to the palace, they encountered a monkey show. The people around cheered as they watched the monkey go through the fire ring. A little boy held a reward plate and asked for money from the onlookers.
The cute little monkey had an iron chain around its neck, and Changan blurted out, "Brother Monkey."
The little monkey seemed to know that Chang'an was calling it. It suddenly jumped up and landed on Gu Laoliu's shoulder. It looked at Chang'an for a long time, then tentatively stretched out its little paws to grab Chang'an's collar.
The stall owner thought the monkey was going to hurt someone, so he hurriedly pulled the chain to pull the little monkey back.
Gu Laoliu's eyes darkened slightly, and he exerted a little force with his hand holding the chain. The chain on the little monkey's neck turned into powder. The stall owner lost weight and fell backwards, but fortunately he was supported by a kind-hearted person.
The little monkey was grabbing Chang'an's collar. If the stall owner pulled the little monkey like this, Chang'an would inevitably be dragged along, which Gu Laoliu would never allow to happen.
