Chapter 265 Inn, Immortal Mansion, September 9
Chapter 265 Inn, Immortal Mansion, September 9
On the day of Lesser Heat, the inn in Dihuazhou opened.
This spy station on Tianquan Star will quickly transmit all information about passers-by back to Liyue Harbor through special personnel.
The staffing of this inn can be said to be very luxurious. From top to bottom, all the people are spies. They are all shrewd, able to read people's expressions, and can play various roles.
The most outstanding people are the shopkeeper Huaian, the apparent boss Phil Godette, the serious chef Yan Xiao, and the idle man outside the inn, Jiang Xue, who is waiting for the fish to take the bait.
On the opening day, Ningguang forcefully dragged Su Ping onto the carriage, insisting on going to see it with her own eyes.
Su Ping hesitated and said, "Over the years, Sister Ningguang has opened at least 800 stores, if not 1,000. Do I have to go and see them?"
Ningguang waved her hand and said, "This is different. The scale of Wangshu Inn is currently unique in Liyue. It is the largest inn. Of course, we have to watch this historic moment."
In Dihuazhou, under the canopy of a giant tree that covers the sky, an inn has been built. There is a staircase that is like a long staircase that can lead to the sky, built around the trunk of the tree, and there is also an "elevator" that can replace walking.
Such a unique housing construction is indeed refreshing and is the only one in Liyue today.
After getting off the carriage, Su Ping stayed by Ning Guang's side, holding her tightly with both hands, not daring to relax at all.
Because Ningguang was already showing signs of being pregnant, and not just a little bit. Su Ping couldn't feel at ease no matter what.
The innkeeper, Philgodette, a pretty girl with curly blonde hair, greeted the two important men from a distance.
"Filgodette, we are looking forward to the arrival of the two adults. Miss Ningguang, please slow down and take care of yourself."
Su Ping smiled slightly after listening to the self-introduction.
Ningguang glanced at her little brother who was laughing alone, and asked, "From the name and the girl's appearance, I guess she is from Mondstadt?"
"Yes, I am from Mond. Fortunately, my husband is very capable and helps me to run many affairs of this inn. Otherwise, I am afraid I can't do it alone!" Filgodette gave a very thorough explanation.
Su Ping listened silently. This woman was actually Liu Hui, but she had changed her appearance and identity.
“Let’s go. The golden shrimp balls in this inn are extremely delicious. Next time if we have a chance, we can bring Keqing here to try them.” Ningguang suggested inexplicably.
Su Ping refused outright, "You don't need me to take you!"
"Isn't it normal for friends to have dinner together? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"But bringing this here doesn't sound right."
"Look at you, you're like this even if you have nothing to hide. It's easy to tell."
"..."
Philgodette smiled faintly, and it was real. She would have this smile on her face for many years to come, but no one knew whether it was true or not.
……
Great Heat, the weather is hot.
The construction of Lishajiao has been completed, and it can be called a fairyland in the sky. The Qun Yu Pavilion of the Night Sky Fantasy City slowly rises into the sky, like a bright new star rising.
The only way to climb up this castle in the sky, apart from riding on the clouds like an immortal or stepping on the void, is to rely on a special floating stone platform connected to the ground.
The ground foothold is set up near the General Affairs Department and is guarded by a special person. Different seven stars and personnel have different passwords. Only in this way can they climb up to the pavilion and get a glimpse of the mystery inside.
Ningguang and Su Ping stood hand in hand at the edge of the deck, looking down at the scenery. They saw the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue Harbor and the streets bustling with people.
When the Qun Yu Pavilion was first built, it was just a small room. After being expanded by craftsmen, it gradually became magnificent and luxurious.
If you take any item from here and auction it in Liyue Harbor, the prices will be shockingly high. This is because the items are truly valuable, and also because this place is the common residence of two Seven Stars.
“One day, I will let the shadow of the Qun Yu Pavilion cover the seven countries…” Ningguang snuggled in the arms of the young man beside her, facing the prosperous Yangang in the distance, and set another goal.
Su Ping laughed. He knew that the other party was not joking. It was just that he was not covering up in the literal sense. Instead, he was using his means to spread his spies throughout the seven countries.
After all, the territory of the Seven Kingdoms is extremely vast. Not to mention that Ningguang is just a mortal with a limited lifespan. Even if she is given another life, she will not be able to truly cover the Seven Kingdoms.
Su Ping sighed and said slowly: "Sister Ningguang, who knows all the secrets of Liyue Port, is the biggest secret of Liyue!"
"You can praise me, but compared to words, a poem is more appropriate." Ningguang looked at the young man and added, "In all these years, my little brother has never written a poem for me!"
"Then let's make it up now." Su Ping boasted, and then he spoke eloquently, using the beautiful scenery around him and his own insights and thoughts so far.
"To overthrow the power of heaven, to be close to the power of heaven, to invade the power of heaven, to capture the power of heaven.
Holding the power of heaven is like embracing the moon, and covering the power of heaven is like being an immortal god.
"Her waist is like a willow branch that can be grasped with one hand, and her delicate body can kill the strongest army."
“What are you talking about? You are so frivolous!” Ningguang pouted and then shook her head, saying, “Not yet. Just bear with it for a while.”
Su Ping nodded, standing upright with a dignified and upright demeanor.
Ningguang suddenly said, "Don't be arrogant or impatient, and keep your mind calm, then you can achieve great things. Little brother, are you interested in going to see the snow together?"
"Okay." Su Ping replied with a smile, knowing what the so-called snow was all about.
In the Qun Yu Pavilion, there was a room specially used to discuss future directions. The windows were open, and countless pieces of paper were pouring down, fluttering like broken snow.
This is the "snow" that Ningguang mentioned. It is a plan she developed after careful business considerations. So although this "snow" will not bring coldness, it can make people shudder and rush to grab it.
Ningguang did all this, of course, not to watch people fight to the death. She wanted to control the economic situation in Liyue Harbor and strike a balance so that no one industry would dominate the market, and no sunset industries would be allowed to completely withdraw from the social stage.
As for why she could do it, it was because she was Ningguang. She had countless properties under her name and was in a high position. The judgment she made was at least 80% credible.
Of course, there are some extremely smart people who can see through the purpose, but what can they do? In the face of the overall situation, are they going to just leave a lot of Mora unearned and be the one who loses money?
This is a semi-open conspiracy, but there are also people who follow these broken snows, rise step by step, and obtain a huge fortune. After all, these plans are clearly written and can be implemented, not a scam.
"Sister Ningguang, I am far inferior to you in terms of doing business!"
"Otherwise, how can you say you are the little brother?"
……
September 17th was a sad day for Su Ping.
The woman in the room was wailing, and the man outside was worried.
Su Ping paced back and forth for more than a hundred times, his heart always hanging in the air, fearing that something unexpected would happen. Although this was unnecessary, he was still worried.
In the room, Grandma Ping has been paying attention. She has been refining elixirs these days and has kept Ningguang in good health. However, she does not dare to be careless.
When a woman gives birth, she has one foot on the verge of death. After all, Ningguang has no fate with becoming an immortal, so relying on elixirs for nourishment is enough. But what if?
After a long time, the pain finally ended. A crisp baby cry echoed in the room, full of seemingly endless life force.
At the same time, Su Ping pushed open the door and went straight to the bed. Looking at Ningguang who was sweating profusely on the bed, he leaned over and comforted her softly.
Grandma Ping came over and said, "Okay, I'll give you the child. You two can give the child a name."
Su Ping held the child in his arms, sitting beside the bed. Together with Ningguang, he looked at the wrinkled baby in the cradle, his eyes full of tenderness.
Ningguang said weakly, "You can take it. I took it last time."
Su Ping nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's a boy, his name is Su Yunqing."
"That sounds okay." Ningguang smiled, her peach blossom eyes filled with thoughts of this father and son.
Su Ping hesitated for a moment, put the child down, and then ran to pick up his daughter Su Lingling. The family of four was together.
"Dad, mom..."
Su Lingling has been able to barely make accurate sounds, thanks to her natural intelligence and her parents' love and guidance.
Su Ping held the two children and sat beside Ningguang's bed. The family of four was happy and harmonious.
"Now that you have a son and a daughter, you can do whatever you want from now on." Ningguang said for no reason.
Su Ping didn't know how to respond, so he just kept silent.
You can be unrestrained as you please. With special items, you don't have to worry about the eight or nine-month restriction. You can do whatever you want without breaking the rules.
The reason why it was not used before was because Ningguang wanted to have both a son and a daughter, and Su Ping certainly would not stop her. But now that the wish has come true, of course she can have fun.
After all, they were still young. Su Ping was twenty-one years old, a young man full of vigor and vitality, and Ningguang was only twenty-four years old. He was not yet as old as a wolf, but he had already become a "tiger wolf".
Think about it, they have only slept together a few times in the past two years, but they have already had both of them. They are so "strong" and so "brave". If they don't use some tricks, I'm afraid they can really have nine children at the same time.
But it’s better to think that way. If they really go ahead and give birth, regardless of whether Ningguang agrees or not, Su Ping will be the first to veto. After all, he sees the hardships of being pregnant.
Even watching, remembering, and just helping out often, Su Ping felt that this matter was very troublesome, not to mention Ningguang herself?
One son and one daughter are enough. He no longer asks for more. He just hopes that both children can grow up safely. It doesn’t matter whether they have major achievements or not, as long as they are safe and have good character.
"I don't know which of the two children will look more like each other in the future." Su Ping muttered to himself as he looked at the two children.
Ningguang said calmly, "Daughters take after their fathers, and sons take after their mothers. Isn't that a saying that has been passed down since ancient times?"
"You can't believe it all."
"Why not? Why don't you wait until Xiao Ling'er grows up, and then put on that makeup and see if it looks the same..."
