Seeing that he was going to be late for the academy, Qingsong urged him again and again, and Ning Lang finally stood up and went to the academy with him.
He was frowning all day, and even Zhu Hanshan noticed something was wrong, and took advantage of the lunch time to ask him what happened with concern.
"It's nothing." Ning Lang sighed and caught a glimpse of the dry steamed buns in his bowl. He picked up his bowl again, and put the braised pork that he had not touched into his bowl. Ning Lang couldn't help sighing again: "An Wang gave you a bonus and also gave you a subsidy, why are you so stubborn, you only eat two steamed buns, how can you be full, if you don't eat now If you are full, wait for the Cuju class in the afternoon, you can’t even run.”
Zhu Hanshan rolled his eyes and did not reject his kindness.
"I am used to it."
"That was in the past. Before, there was no king An who gave you money. Now, there are bonuses and subsidy money. What are you going to do? King An has given you money, and you are polite to him. What. He is a prince, and he has some silver. Even if the subsidy silver is returned to him later, he will definitely not notice." Ning Lang paused, as if realizing that this was not good, and added: "Also, also As long as you are in good health, you have passed the exam, and when you become an official, you will have a salary in the future, and it will be easier to return the money to King An than it is now. King An also means this."
"I can't tell you."
Ning Lang raised his chest proudly: "What I said is the truth."
Zhu Hanshan shook his head and asked again, "Then what are you bothering about? You didn't even notice when the Master told you today."
"I..." Ning Lang thought of the things he was troubled about, and suddenly sighed.
Zhu Hanshan said: "Why don't you tell me, and I will help you come up with an idea."
Ning Lang shook his head: "I can't tell you about this."
Zhu Hanshan didn't ask any more, just said, "Then you have to concentrate more in the afternoon, and be careful not to get hit on the head with Cuju."
Ning Lang sighed and fell down again with a frown.
In the Ning family, Ning Nuan also called Xiang Tao over.
"Yesterday my brother went to Prince An's mansion, what did you do after returning?"
Xiangtao wondered: "Miss, the slaves have been with you all the time, how will you know what the eldest young master has done? If you want to know, miss, you might as well wait for the eldest young master to come back and ask the eldest young master in person, won't you understand?"
"Since you don't know, then go and ask Qingsong." Ning Nuan said, "You don't have to wait for your brother to come back, you can go to the kitchen to get some snacks, go to the academy to deliver it to your brother, and give it to Qingsong."
Xiang Tao responded and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get some snacks, and followed her instructions to Qingshan Academy. When she arrived, Ning Lang's afternoon class had already started. She secretly called Qingsong out and handed him the food box before asking her own question.
Qingsong scratched his head and said blankly: "Yesterday, the young master didn't take me to the Prince An's mansion. After he came back, he stayed in the house and rested early. I don't know if the young master has become a forest."
"Oh, why are you so stupid." Xiang Tao stomped her feet: "Even the young lady found out that something was wrong with the young master. You follow the young master every day, and you don't even know what happened to the young master?"
Qing Song was ashamed.
Xiang Tao couldn't ask what the result was, so she left angrily.
On her way back, she guessed that the young lady might be disappointed if she didn't hear the result, so she made a special circle and went to Baozhizhai, planning to buy their young lady's favorite dessert to go back, so as to make the young lady feel happier.
She happened to be there. Just as she was about to line up at the back of the line, she saw Wang Quan walking out of the shop with an oiled paper bag. Xiang Tao's eyes lit up and she called him immediately.
Unexpectedly, Wang Quan looked back at her, but snorted and turned his head again.
This made Xiangtao feel puzzled: "This is so good, you make such a face to me, when did I offend you?"
"How dare I?" Wang Quan said yin and yang strangely: "If I agree, don't you want to rush over and punch me like your master?"
"Don't talk nonsense, when did our young lady touch someone?" Xiang Tao said angrily: "When you touch your lips, you are throwing dirty water on our young lady."
"I'm not talking about your young lady, but your young master!" Speaking of this, Wang Quan became angry, and the bruises on their prince's face have not disappeared to this day. "Your young master ran into the palace yesterday and punched our prince without any reason. Our prince was almost broken by him. Tell me, isn't it too much for your young master?"
Xiang Tao was stunned: "Our young master? Beat your prince?"
"That's not it! Our lord can't go out to meet people now!"
Xiang Tao suddenly realized: "It turned out to be because of this."
"what?"
Xiang Tao didn't explain it to him, and didn't care whether to buy snacks or not, she hurriedly ran in the direction of Ning Mansion.
Before Ning Nuan saw her figure, she heard her voice hurriedly: "Miss! Miss! This servant knows!"
Ning Nuan reached out and poured a glass of water for her, just as Xiang Tao also ran in, she sat down beside her, panting from exhaustion, and said, "Miss, slave, slave and servant have found out, it turns out that the young master went for a visit yesterday. Prince An's Mansion, they beat Prince An!"
Ning Nuan handed the cup to her, watched the peaches drained, and then asked, "Have you heard, why did my brother beat King An?"
Xiang Tao stopped in action.
"This... this..." Xiang Tao said slyly: "Miss, this servant didn't find out about this."
Ning Nuan was helpless: "Then you only heard about this, why did you run in such a hurry."
"It's like this, Miss, according to the slave maid, maybe the young master is not happy today because he beat An Wang. Miss, think about it, it is An Wang, the young master beat An Wang without a word, if King An is angry, but the young master can't eat and walk around, and the young master must be worried that he will be revenge by King An." Xiangtao said, "The servant met Wang Quan next to King An outside, he saw Wang Quan outside. He is a servant, but he is not polite at all, and he is so angry when he sees it, let alone King An."
"that is it?"
Xiang Tao nodded heavily: "Yi Numaid, look, that's it!"
Ning Nuan tapped her on the head and waved: "Forget it, go and rest."
Xiang Tao covered her head and gave a puzzled response, and then went to rest out of breath.
Ning Nuan was not what she thought.
She guessed that this matter must have something to do with King An, but the strange words her brother said to her today left her at a loss. Not to mention the one, two or three ants, according to the elder brother's wishes, they were also involved in the previous life.
Ning Nuan wondered: My brother was confused in his dreams, and he was talking nonsense.
What in the past life, this life, past life and present life, is it because of evil
It may be that Ning Lang is so troubled by himself, but at first glance, it is not an easy problem. Listening to what he means, it seems that she has been killed
Could it be that my brother had some strange dream? Is it related to King An again
Ning Nuan couldn't think of anything.
When Ning Lang came back from the academy, she heard the news and went out to find Ning Lang, only to see him walk in with his head down, Qingsong carrying his book bag behind him, and his face was blue, looking very embarrassed.
Ning Nuan looked him up and down subconsciously, seeing that his clothes were neatly dressed, and then asked, "What's wrong with my brother's face?"
"Hey, A Nuan, don't mention it. I kicked Cuju with other people this afternoon. I didn't notice it for a while. The Cuju just hit me in the face." He just punched An Wang yesterday, and today his own His face was also injured, and Ning Lang almost thought it was some secret guard sent by King An, and secretly hid in the academy to take revenge when he was unprepared.
"Why is my brother so careless?" Ning Nuan suddenly became worried: "I'll go get my brother some medicine."
"No, it will be fine in a few days." Ning Lang waved his hand, "A Nuan, what are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for my brother to come back."
Ning Lang remembered what happened this morning again, and glanced at her hesitantly. When the words reached his lips, he let out a sigh. He didn't even have the energy to say a few more words to her, so he sighed. gone.
Ning Nuan: "…"
Ning Nuan sent out Xiang Tao again.
Xiangtao stood at the gate of Prince An's mansion and asked the guards who guarded the gate to give a report, and finally saw Wang Quan.
Seeing her, Wang Quan still didn't have a good face, and said in a firm tone: "What did Miss Xiangtao come to me for?"
Xiangtao said flatteringly: "Master Wang, Wang, I just wanted to ask you, what happened when our young master came to Prince An's mansion that day, he... why did he beat Prince An?"
Wang Quan snorted and said, "Why don't you ask your young master, why do you ask me? I also want to know, our prince is fine, why did he hit our prince? It's really good intentions!"
As the personal servant next to the prince, there is no clearer than him what Prince An wants to do. Recently, their lords were in a tight situation of money and money. Their lords specially sorted out the way to get the money. Because he was thinking about Ning Gongzi, he specially called Ning Gongzi over and wanted to cooperate with Ning Gongzi.
It's not that he said that their prince's head is also extremely smart, and Young Master Ning is not even good at learning, how can he come up with such a good idea? If they were ordinary people, they had already been grateful to Dade, not to mention their gratitude to the lord, but they wouldn't directly attack their lord, would they? !
Their prince said they didn't care, but Wang Quan was very angry!
Xiangtao asked again, "What do you mean when you say good intentions are not rewarded? When did our young master become a kind person who is not rewarded?"
Wang Quan couldn't help but told the matter from beginning to end. After he finished speaking, he asked angrily: "Tell me, are you young masters? Ah? How can our prince be sorry for your young masters, he is better, and he beat our princes, if our princes are held accountable, You young masters are in prison now!"
Xiang Tao hurriedly said a good word with a smile on her face, coaxing Wang Quan to calm down a bit, and then she said goodbye and left.
When she got home, she told Ning Nuan everything from beginning to end.
Ning Nuan listened, pondered for a while, and said, "So, King An wants to pull his brother to do things, but he doesn't know if he should agree or not?"
"Slave, listen, I guess that's the case." Xiang Tao couldn't help but said: "But Miss, even if the young master doesn't like An Wang anymore, An Wang kindly wants to pull the young master, and the young master will not beat him..."
"You heard what Wang Quan said. He naturally stood on his master's side. Maybe An Wang made his brother angry first." Ning Nuan said: "An Wang does not pursue it, and wants to pull his brother into a partnership. Since King An doesn't pursue it, maybe there is a secret inside. Let's not mention this matter for the time being, what do you want to do with King An's brother, can you find out?"
"Miss, the servants went to ask about it, but Wang Quan doesn't even know about it." Xiang Tao said, "Wang Quan said, Wang Quan didn't tell him about this matter, and he was half-understood and confused."
Ning Nuan nodded.
When she saw Ning Lang sighing and sighing again, she simply asked, "Is brother afraid to cooperate with An Wang, or is he worried about other things?"
Ning Lang was startled suddenly, and the whole person almost jumped up, stammering: "A Nuan, you, you... What nonsense are you talking about, why can't I understand anything?"
"I asked Xiangtao to ask Wang Quan. He told Xiangtao everything about what happened. Didn't Wang An want to cooperate with his brother?"
"A Nuan, you know?!"
Ning Nuan looked at him strangely: "I want to ask my brother, what does it have to do with me when An Wang wants to do business with his brother?"
Ning Lang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she might have misunderstood something. Ning Lang made a mistake and continued to go down: "A Nuan, you can say that it has nothing to do with you, that guy An Wang has bad intentions for you, what if I get close to him and it hurts you?"
"Brother, did you mean the dream from before?"
Ning Lang nodded vigorously.
"In that brother's dream, have you ever cooperated with An Wang
Ning Lang was speechless.
"My father and my mother had the same dream as my brother. If it was because of this, why didn't my brother discuss with my father and mother? It's like asking me here. I don't even know what my brother saw in the dream." Ning Nuan paused. After a pause, he asked again, "Could it be that what King An wants to do with his brother is a very dangerous thing?"
He hesitated and nodded.
"How dangerous is it?"
Ning Lang thought for a while, and then said, "If it succeeds, you will get a lot of benefits."
Often the most dangerous road may also be accompanied by the greatest reward.
Ning Nuan understood what he meant, and his face suddenly became ugly.
"Brother doesn't have to put himself in such a dangerous place. As long as you study hard and take a good exam, you can pass it safely."
"But Ah Nuan, if that's the case, how can I protect you." Ning Lang's whole face wrinkled: "Let's not talk about King An, if our Ning family offends someone more powerful than King An in the future, As Ning's father, should I just watch it?"
Ning Nuan stopped.
She was silent for a long time, then tentatively said: "If you follow Prince An..."
Ning Lang turned his head away.
What he meant, apparently came up with the results in the past two days.
Ning Nuan's heart sank, not knowing what to say.
She asked, "What exactly does King An want to do?"
"A Nuan, I can't tell you about this yet." Ning Lang said, "Wait for me, wait for me to discuss it with King An, and then think about it."
He already had an idea in his mind, but now he doesn't need his sister to figure out a way for him.
Ning Nuan opened her mouth, but she didn't have much to say. She only reminded: "Brother remember, don't get involved with your parents..."
"I know, I know it all. Ah Nuan, don't worry, I know what I know."
"..."
Ning Nuan felt a rare panic in her heart.
She vaguely sensed that what her brother wanted to cooperate with King An should be a very big thing. At first, he had been talking about staying away from Prince An, but now he overturned his own words and took the initiative to approach Prince An. She saw how much her brother hated An Wang before. Ning Lang has always been a person who clearly loves and hates, but now he can endure his disgust and cooperate with An Wang...
Could it be that something big happened in their family before she knew it
But father and mother didn't reveal the slightest bit of news. If there was, it would be impossible for father and mother to hide it all.
Or did my brother dream about something again
Only he dreamed this time? Does that count
Even if he was beaten, he had to cooperate with his brother. What did Wang An think of his brother
…
No matter how flustered Ning Nuan was, Ning Lang was worried for two days. After thinking about it, he calmed down.
He wrote a letter and clipped it to the third window from the right of the house. The next day, he asked Qingsong to go to the academy to ask for leave, and he ran towards Prince An's mansion by himself.
Chu Fei screened the crowd and said calmly, "Have you made up your mind?"
"I've figured it out, I won't tell you either of the two options you mentioned." Ning Lang said seriously: "Rebel, it's impossible for me to do it with you, I don't care what you want to do. , but I want to be clear with you."
Chu Fei was surprised and said, "Tell me about it."
"I have already affected my family in my last life. If you want me to do things for you, you have to promise me that even if your business fails, it will not affect my parents and A Nuan."
Chu Fei raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you don't know that your two uncles have already found a good position for themselves."
"They have nothing to do with me. Our Ning family split up. No matter what they do, it has nothing to do with us." Ning Lang said, "Can't you even do this?"
"Then what about your second condition?"
"Don't let others know that I have something to do with you."
Chu Fei sneered: "You're doing it right, if one day I'm locked in the Heavenly Prison, will you be able to escape?"
"I'm willing to help you for my own sake. You're right. If I rely on the exam, I might not be able to be an official for the rest of my life. But I want to protect my parents and A Nuan. Nothing, although I am very reluctant to do things for you, but you can give me this opportunity, since you believe in me, then I will reluctantly believe in your vision, I will rely on this opportunity to protect our Ning family." Ning Lang said solemnly: "You are a prince, and I can't put the whole family to bet with you. If I get close to you, I will be implicated by you sooner or later. Do you want A Nuan to be implicated by you again?"
Chu Fei snorted.
He was a little displeased and said: "As you say, you will take all the benefits. I let you take so much advantage in vain. In the end, you still think about me?"
Ning Lang said, "I can't say that. I still want to borrow your power. If you fall, I can't do it just by what you said earlier."
Isn't this using it? !
Chu Fei almost laughed angrily.
However, Ning Lang said it confidently, he was too calm, but Chu Fei couldn't say a word.
"Forget it, who made me owe A Nuan, you remember, I am all for A Nuan." Chu Fei whispered: "If it were someone else, how would I let him take so much advantage."
If he succeeds, the Ning family can follow him to the sky. If he fails, Ning Lang has already taken advantage of it and slipped away early.
He worked hard and thought hard, but all the benefits were taken by the Ning family
Chu Fei was not worried that Ning Lang would turn against the water. Ning Lang's eyes are straight, he can see the bottom at a glance, and he can't hide so many twists and turns in his stomach.
Ning Lang added, "I have one more condition."
"what?"
"You are not allowed to approach Ah Nuan any more."
"..."
Chu Fei said angrily, "You're taking an inch!"
Ning Lang looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water: "If you don't agree, I won't agree to you either."
Chu Fei sneered and said: "Not only will I continue to pursue A Nuan, but in the future, I will also make A Nuan my princess and marry her beautifully. I really want to do something, do you think you still Can you stop it?"
"You don't approach A Nuan. A Nuan is so smart that she can definitely avoid you."
"That's not necessarily true." Chu Fei raised his chin proudly: "Even in a previous life, Ah Nuan has me in his heart."
Ning Lang shook his head: "That's because A Nuan didn't know people clearly for a while. In this life, she has already seen what kind of person you are, and she will be tricked by you again."
"Just wait, A Nuan will marry me willingly."
Ning Lang still shook his head: "I don't care, if you don't agree, I won't agree to you either."
"No, except for this one, I promise you everything else."
"Then you help A Nuan find a good husband."
"..."
Chu Fei was furious: "Ning Lang! Don't go too far!"
Ning Lang pouted, not afraid at all: "If you don't look for it, I will ask my mother to set up a marriage for A Nuan when I go back. The same is true."
Chu Fei: "..."
Ning Lang put down one thing in his heart, he just felt happy physically and mentally, and the whole person became very relaxed.
He also specially found a pen and paper, wrote down what he had said earlier with his dog crawling characters, and asked Chu Fei to sign it, for fear that he would not speak like before.
Chu Fei was helpless, so he could only follow his words and pressed a fingerprint with his own hands.
He looked at Ning Lang's smug look, and then looked at the contract with his fingerprints on it. He always felt that he had found the wrong person.
