Chapter 26 What is this? A ghost, is it?
Fu Ci gently stroked Niannian's head, his eyes full of tenderness, and whispered:
“Yes, Niannian, your mother had contact with other people in Guangling Kingdom. At that time, Guangling Kingdom had not yet been destroyed, and your mother discovered this secret through this mirror.”
Niannian's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she pressed on, "Then why did Mommy keep the mirror?"
Fu Ci frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
In fact, Fu Mingyue did not reveal many details to him at the time, so his knowledge was limited.
He slowly shook his head and replied, "Niannian, your mother didn't tell me the specific reason for this, but I believe that as time goes by, you will understand the reason."
After all, he received a reply from that unknown number last night, in which the person asked him to tell Niannian the truth.
Niannian scratched her cheek in confusion, nodded as if she understood, and let out a puzzled "Oh".
After Fu Ci finished his work, he took Niannian back to the Fu family home. All the way, he pondered how to explain the truth about the bronze mirror to the old man…
Upon arriving at the Fu family home, Niannian, following her uncle's instructions, ran to Old Master Fu's study, pulled him out, and said in her childish voice:
"Grandpa, come with me quickly, my uncle and I have something to tell you!"
Grandpa Fu was also completely bewildered, but there was nothing he could do: "Alright, alright, slow down, slow down, don't fall!"
As soon as the two arrived at Niannian's room, Fu Ci had already been waiting by the phoenix bronze mirror for a while. He said with a serious expression, "Go, Niannian, close the door!"
"Wow, it's huge! Uncle!"
Hearing this, Niannian obediently let go of the door, locked it from the inside, and then imitated the hotel receptionist at the entrance, extending her other little hand in a gesture of invitation:
"Grandpa, please have a seat!"
Grandpa Fu suppressed a laugh and sat down in front of the phoenix bronze mirror, then couldn't help but praise, "Niannian is such a good girl!"
Niannian slowly squeezed forward, gripping the table with both hands.
Just then, both Grandpa Fu and Fu Ci saw the bronze mirror flash, and Pei Yunjing's image suddenly appeared in the mirror.
"Hey! Brother Yun Jing!" Niannian greeted him cutely.
Fu Ci was also stunned. Although he knew that he could see people from that world in the mirror, he was still incredibly shocked when the moment actually arrived, exclaiming in his heart that it was too amazing.
Old Master Fu, however, was not so calm. He widened his eyes and said warily:
"What is this? A ghost, a ghost?"
Good heavens, is Fu Ci, this unfilial son, trying to kill himself?
Niannian shook her little head like a rattle drum, "No, no, Uncle said Brother Yun Jing is a person!"
"A person?" Old Master Fu asked in disbelief...
Fu Ci then revealed everything he knew. At the same time, Pei Yun Jing on the other side of the mirror gradually accepted reality from his initial surprise.
He had just finally made up his mind to tell his mother his determination to go to the Central Plains for disaster relief. At first, Consort De did not support him.
But after some communication, I finally understood his idea.
However, he knew that his own strength was too weak to handle such a difficult task. So he thought of Nian Nian, the fairy in the mirror, and hoped to get her help.
To his surprise, Nian Nian came from the future, and there was a time gap of hundreds of years between them.
What shocked Pei Yunjing even more was that the Guangling Kingdom was completely destroyed decades later...
However, he couldn't care less about that; thinking of the drought in the Central Plains, his heart was filled with worry.
He cautiously and tentatively asked, "Um... Uncle Niannian, may I ask how long the drought in the Central Plains will last?"
Fu Ci was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "What year is it now?"
Pei Yunjing answered without hesitation: "The Guangling era, 1638!"
Upon hearing Pei Yunjing's reply, Fu Ci fell into deep thought, trying hard to recall the contents recorded in the book.
After a long pause, he said somberly, "I remember... this drought lasted for a full five years!"
These words struck Pei Yunjing like a thunderbolt, leaving him wide-eyed in disbelief.
Five years! Five years!
It's only the second year now...
He felt a wave of helplessness and despair wash over him. How was he supposed to get through this prolonged drought?
Nian Nian noticed Pei Yun Jing's worry and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Brother Yun Jing? What happened? Tell me and I'll help you!"
As she spoke, she patted her small chest.
"I...I want to go to the Central Plains for disaster relief!"
“No, no, your name is Pei Yunjing, you are the sixth prince. You shouldn’t be the one going to the disaster relief this time, the second prince should be the one to go!” Fu Ci explained, word by word.
Suddenly he remembered something, “Wait a minute, you should be in the Cold Palace right now, but looking at you… you don’t look like you’re suffering there!”
He has a high fever, a high fever, he needs to start developing his brain!
Pei Yunjing gently shook his head, his tone sincere: "I don't know either. I came here today hoping that Nian Nian could lend me a hand..."
Just then, Old Master Fu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice steady and deep:
“Pei Yunjing, right? Since Niannian has already agreed to you, then I'll go along with her. But... what price are you willing to pay?”
Old Master Fu's deep eyes were fixed on Pei Yunjing, like a cunning old fox, making him hard to fathom.
cost?
Pei Yunjing was stunned. Yes, he was now just a neglected prince. Even the money to find Niannian to buy skincare products was provided by his maternal grandfather.
So, what price is he willing to pay?
Pei Yunjing fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said firmly:
"Once this drought is over, I will surely be rewarded, and all the rewards will be given to Niannian intact!"
After saying this, Pei Yunjing unhesitatingly took the red jade pendant that his mother had given him and carefully placed it into the bronze mirror.
"This jade pendant is a red jade pendant. I have worn it since I was a child. Today, I am willing to give it to Niannian!"
At this moment, this is the greatest sincerity he can offer!
Grandpa Fu looked at the red jade pendant that had been delivered, gently picked it up, turned his head and asked Niannian, "Niannian, are you sure you want to help him?"
He nodded vigorously!
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, let's help Brother Yun Jing! He saw I was injured and gave me some really good ointment!"
As she spoke, she took out the ointment from her pocket.
Grandpa Fu also realized why Niannian's bruises healed so quickly that day...
Finally, he slowly nodded and placed the jade pendant around Nian Nian's neck. "Okay! Deal!"
The Fu family is wealthy and powerful; consider it an investment! "Trying to get welfare at such a young age is really difficult."
