Since that day, he happened to meet Ning Nuan in the study, although he was interrupted by An Wang, but after Liu Hong returned home, he still thought about Ning Nuan. See her again.
It's just that after that day, Ning Nuan never went to the study again. Occasionally, when he wanted to buy something, he always asked Xiang Tao to run errands. Therefore, Liu Hong waited for the rabbit for a long time, but he didn't even see a corner of her clothes.
The more times he ran out, he naturally attracted the attention of others. Liu Hong looked deeply rooted in the Ning family, and ran to the study frequently. His appearance could not be concealed from those close to him. Soon his friends discovered his recent changes. Hong quickly talked about his recent troubles.
He said it with sincerity, and he was talking about his unrequited love. They mentioned it when they were eating in the restaurant. He was talking, and his friend was listening. Suddenly, someone pulled up and punched Liu Hong, stunned.
When he calmed down, wasn't it King An who was standing in front of him
Liu Hong was covering the place where he was hit, but he still didn't react. He looked up and saw that An Wang's face was blue and black, and his face was even more dazed. But even he couldn't explain why he was picked on by King An last time, and this time he was punched by King An again.
The two entangled from the restaurant to the outside of the restaurant, and everyone in the capital knew that King An had beaten the son of the Minister of Industry, his nose was blue and his face was bruised, and he looked very miserable.
And Xiangtao happened to go out to buy something for Ning Nuan at that time. She passed by the restaurant and heard the noise not far away. She also curiously leaned over to take a look. Seeing that the protagonists of the farce were still the two people she had seen before, she also felt in her heart. Very surprised.
Although no one in the Ning family has mentioned An Wang now, she still couldn't help it. After a few days, she finally told Ning Nuan about her meeting with An Wang.
"Miss, you said it's good, why did King An want to trouble Young Master Liu?" Xiangtao couldn't understand: "Could it be that when we met Young Master Liu in the study last time, King An helped us out because they had Can't the old grudge come to pass?"
Ning Nuan thought about it, but couldn't think of it.
She closed the book and reluctantly said to Xiang Tao: "Now King An has nothing to do with us, no matter what King An does, it has nothing to do with us, whether he has old grudges with Young Master Liu, or has nothing to do with us. Whether it’s Prince An or Mr. Liu, I don’t know whether Young Master Liu has made a new feud. No matter how calm Wang An’s words are, be careful to let your mother listen, and you will be punished when you come back.”
Xiang Tao was shocked and dared not say a word again.
She ran outside a few times, but brought back a lot of news related to Zhu Hanshan.
"Master, he took Young Master Zhu to the room. The two of them can talk very well. The servants are far apart, and they can all hear the laughter of Young Master and Young Master Zhu."
"Although Young Master Zhu is a little down, he looks handsome."
"As soon as the master was happy, he also gave him the four treasures of the study, which are all good ones. Miss, it's the first time I've seen the master's friend who likes the young master so much."
Ning Nuan listened to her chanting in her ear, but she only felt that her ears could hear a cocoon, and even her crisp voice was like a sparrow chirping non-stop under the eaves.
She was talking so much in her ear that Ning Nuan couldn't even read the book, so she quickly sent her out to buy snacks for herself. Xiang Tao took the money and happily went out the door.
Ning Nuan's favorite food is the chestnut cake in the East Street store, but now is not the season for chestnuts, and there is no chestnut cake in supply, so Xiangtao retreated and went to Baozhizhai to buy her sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
There are a lot of people queuing in front of Baozhizhai. The business here is good, and there are long queues every day. The sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake is also the best freshly made, so every time you have to queue up, you have to queue for a long time. Xiang Tao arrived a little late, holding the silver to the end of the line. Today's business is really good, after waiting for a long time, the team has only advanced a few steps.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and suddenly heard a voice beside her.
"Isn't this the peach girl?"
Xiang Tao turned her head to look, and found that the servant next to An Wang had stood beside her at some point.
Wang Quan said with a smile: "Miss Xiangtao, I see that you have been standing here for a long time. What are you lining up to buy?"
Xiang Tao glanced to the side subconsciously, but did not see the familiar carriage or the familiar figure. Seeing her intentions, Wang Quan said with a smile: "Our lord didn't come. Our lord caused trouble earlier and was banned by the emperor. We won't be able to come out these days."
"A crime?" Xiang Tao rolled her eyes and asked curiously, "Is it because he hit Young Master Liu?"
"Miss Xiangtao also heard about it?"
"That's not it, your lord beat up Young Master Liu, who in the capital doesn't know about this? But I don't understand, it's so good, why did your lord beat Young Master Liu? What does he have with Young Master Liu? Can't the old grievances be settled?" Xiang Tao's doubts lingered in her heart for a long time, but Ning Nuan did not cooperate with her, and now that she saw the servant next to An Wang, she immediately grabbed Wang Quan and asked. "I happened to pass by that day, and I saw it too. Your lord is really ruthless."
"Where is the old grudge?" Wang Quan glanced at her and sighed: "It's not because of Miss Ning."
"Our lady?!" Xiangtao was immediately dissatisfied: "Don't talk nonsense, our lady didn't go out that day, she stayed at home, your prince beat someone, don't put the fault on our lady, we Miss is very wronged!"
"Oh, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about Miss Ning's sake, I mean, our lord is for Miss Ning's sake."
Xiang Tao suddenly wondered: "What does this have to do with our young lady?"
Wang Quan looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he still lowered his voice and whispered: "That day, our lord happened to go to the restaurant for dinner. Guess what did the lord hear when he entered the door? He heard it. That Young Master Liu was talking to his friends about Miss Ning. Miss Ning has not yet been engaged, and it has nothing to do with him. How can he say anything casually? Listening to his tone, it seems that Miss Ning has something to do with him. Our lord Hearing it, of course I can't get angry."
"Then what?"
"Miss Xiangtao, you also know that our prince and Ning Gongzi have a good relationship. Ning girl is Ning Gongzi's younger sister, and he also treats Ning girl as a younger sister. When he heard that someone ruined Ning girl's reputation, he immediately wanted to stop Liu. Young Master, but Young Master Liu has made a mistake, and he doesn't admit it, his friends are still doing something to the lord, tell me, can our lord bear it?"
"Of course not!"
"That's not it, so our lord was angry, so we beat Young Master Liu. As a result, everyone in the capital knew about it. The Minister of Works, Master Liu went to sue the emperor, and the lord was grounded by the emperor. ." Wang Quan sighed: "Now that the prince can't leave the house, I can only help the prince to run errands."
Xiang Tao nodded thoughtfully.
"What about you? Miss Peach, what are you doing here?"
"I'm buying snacks for our lady."
Wang Quan was stunned, and quickly said: "It's a coincidence that we met. I also bought snacks for our lord. Since we have met, what is Miss Xiangtao buying, why don't I buy it for you."
"you… "
Wang Quan explained to her: "This Baozhizhai also has a share of our prince, so every time we come to buy something for the prince, we never have to wait in line."
Xiang Tao listened to the heart.
She lined up here for a long time, waiting and waiting, but when she got the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.
Xiang Tao still had some doubts: "Are you so kind? Wasn't it under the orders of your prince?"
Wang Quan smiled bitterly: "No matter how powerful our lord is, he still doesn't know what Miss Ning wants to eat."
Xiang Tao barely believed it.
She asked Wang Quan to buy the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, and sure enough, it didn't take long before the sweets arrived. She glanced at Wang Quan's hand again. He was holding an oil-paper bag exactly like her own, and it smelled of sweet-scented osmanthus.
Wang Quan chatted with her: "Our lord has no idea what's going on these days. I never liked these sweets before, but now I suddenly like it, and even named Baozhizhai's sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I'm not here. bought it."
Peach nodded.
Holding the hot sugar cake that was just out of the oven in her arms, she hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Quan, and ran back to Ning Mansion quickly.
Seeing her come back, Ning Nuan was a little surprised.
"Why did you come back so early?"
"Miss, please listen to me." Xiang Tao hurriedly put down the sugar cake and said, "Guess what I heard again?"
Ning Nuan heard something wrong: "What did you hear about King An?"
Xiang Tao immediately nodded.
Ning Nuan turned her head away with little interest.
Xiang Tao excitedly said: "Miss, this time you must listen, even if you say madam, slaves will tell you."
Ning Nuan glanced at her, and when she saw her insistence, she said, "Then tell me."
"When the maid was buying sugar cakes for you, she met the man named Wang Quan next to King An. He told the maid that it was because of you, Miss, that Prince An would beat Young Master Liu!"
Ning Nuan's eyes moved slightly and looked at her.
"It was Young Master Liu who mentioned you outside, saying that he seemed to have something to do with Young Lady and ruined Young Lady's reputation. It was Prince An who happened to hear it and worried about how it would affect your reputation, so he beat Young Master Liu. Stop." Xiangtao said, "It turns out that King An only beat Young Master Liu because he wanted to make a fortune for you, but the slave servant Wang Quan said that King An was banned by the emperor because of this matter, and now even the palace is out. No."
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Xiangtao just waited for her surprised reaction. Seeing that she didn't react at all except that she was a little surprised just now, she suddenly wondered: "Miss, did you feel it after hearing it?"
Ning Henan calmly said: "Then King An has nothing to do with me. What he does, that's his business, what do you want me to do? Do you want to thank him face to face?"
But don't say whether An Wang is willing or not, if she has this idea, I am afraid that three people in the family will come to stop it.
Xiang Tao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
She suddenly lost interest, and help Ning Nuan to remove the oil paper wrapping outside the sugar cake.
It was Ning Nuan, but still a little thoughtful.
