Chapter 2112: Preparation


    ?


    When Nan Hua started to tell her story, Hou Lin moved away from his ce to a further ce so that he would not listen to what Nan Hua said.


    Even if he was Old Master Nan''s dark guard most of the time, he knew that there were still things that he better not heard in the slightest bit.


    Besides, Nan Hua and Old Master Nan also needed their private time.


    Old Master Nan wanted to hear various matters about what Nan Hua did over the past few years when she was away.


    Nan Hua also wanted to hear what Old Master Nan was doing in the recent years.


    the two of them spent most of their time talking with each other, spending their time together.


    -


    <Long Family Residence>


    Old Madam Long was reviewing the betrothal gifts list in her hands when she heard Nan Hua''s return. Her eyes brightened and she really want to invite Nan Hua toe over and talk with her.


    No matter what, she hoped that she could spend more time with this granddaughter inw of hers.


    But thinking that Old Master Nan and Nan Hua might need more time for themselves, Old Madam Long could only restrain herself.


    "There''ll be more chances for me to spend with Hua''er in the future."


    Old Madam Long thought about it and shook her head. She couldn''t wait to go to Nan Family Residence and proposed the marriage date to be determined. Only in this way she could be more reassured.


    But in the end, she didn''t do it.


    It would be better to go tomorrow.


    Also...


    "Where''s Long Qian Xing?" Old Madam Long asked.


    Yesterday was the day of celebration. The celebration was not grand, but Old Madam Long heard that her grandson was awarded with a lot of merit. Looking at the long list of merits given to her grandson, Old Madam Long was proud but also had a heartache.


    She knew that it was not easy for Long Qian Xing to earn all of these.


    What she wanted the most was for her grandson to be safe and grew up well.


    It was just that these two brats just liked to go to the frontline and challenged themselves over and over again. Even if it was also for the sake of their family members, kingdom, and all, Old Madam Long still wanted to sigh.


    "Replying to Old Madam, Young Master is outside."


    He''s outside?


    Old Madam Long was confused and then shook her head. Long Qian Xing had some friends in Fei Yang Kingdom''s Capital City. Besides, even if it was not to meet his friends, he still has a lot of business he had to do here.


    He was given the permission to stay in Fei Yang Kingdom''s Capital City, but he also has some works he had to do.


    Old Madam Long nodded and then turned her attention back to the list in her hand.


    She was wondering what else she could add to this.


    ...


    <Long Qian Xing''s side>


    The celebration this time was simplified because of therge number of sacrifice. Even though Long Qian Xing earned a lot of merits, he didn''t care about it too much because his attention was on something else. That was therge amount of work that he had to do.


    It was a tea house and Long Qian Xing stayed with Song Chuan, his friend who was also a minister in Fei Yang Kingdom''s Capital City.


    Song Chuan was the son of a governor whom Long Qian Xing met a long time ago and helped to go to the Capital City and eventually participated in the Imperial Examination and be official. By now, his rank was already rtively high, but Song Chuan kept a rather low profile.


    He didn''t show anything much and kept his position rtively stable on the court.


    After all, there were too many old foxes around and if Song Chuan was not careful enough, it was estimated that he might end up losing his life.


    Today, he went out after the morning court.


    He went to this teahouse and gave the overview about the current situation in the court for Long Qian Xing.


    Even though Song Chuan remained neutral on the surface, but he silently gathered information for Long Qian Xing and helped to make things more favorable for him there.


    "Young Master, these are the recent information. In addition, there are also some officials who have stepped down from their position after doing some tasks," Song Chuan said slowly. "Some officials?" Long Qian Xing asked and looked at the list.


    Most of the officials were ether being sent away or retired because they were already too old to keep up with the other foxes. After all, it was not that easy to stay in the court and solved the kingdom''s problem while also facing the schemes of others.


    Who didn''t want to be in power?


    It was hard to keep rising up in the court.


    Looking at the list, Long Qian Xing was unfamiliar with most of the name until he reached a rather familiar surname.


    "Feng Mo Xing?" Long Qian Xing repeated the name.


    Song Chuan thought for a moment before replying, "He''s the fifth young master of Feng Family, cousin of your fiancée''s cousin. He had a rtively weak body, but his thinking is really good and had helped His Majesty to arrange about some policies. Hisst mission was to arrange for the road n to Liang City."


    Feng Mo Xing was rtively unknown.


    Unlike Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai who were famous because of their deeds on the battlefield and so on, Feng Mo Xing stayed within Fei Yang Kingdom''s Capital City and quietly studying.


    He was Feng Ao Kuai''s cousin and back then, he made a deal with Nan Hua and Feng Ao Kuai to exchange the rest of his life in order to live longer and lived well. Even with Nan Hua''s medicine, it was impossible for her to prolong his life for a long time.
