Wang Quan truthfully passed Chu Fei's words to Xiang Tao, and then Xiang Tao passed it on to Ning Nuan.
When Xiang Tao spoke, her eyes were full of admiration, "Miss, you really guessed it, and King An he really gave up. Miss, how did you guess so accurately, in case King An he really did I went down the mountain, wouldn’t it just…”
Ning Nuan smiled lightly: "I said it a long time ago."
"Miss, you are really good at predicting things." Xiang Tao said happily: "It's good now, Miss An doesn't have to go out to see Prince An, and she can learn about the young master from Prince An's mouth, so that Prince An can't take advantage of it. ."
The carriage outside the yard was pulled back, and the commotion in the yard next door also disappeared. When Chu Fei had agreed on the timing, Ning Nuan walked out of the door and into the yard.
She was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, waiting for An Wang to contact her as he had said before. Ning Nuan waited for a while, when suddenly a ball of paper fell from the sky, just right on the table.
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to pick up the ball of paper, unfolded it, and there was a sharp brush... a dot of ink.
Ning Nuan smiled, knowing that King An had appeared.
Could it be that Wang An was still having a tantrum with her? She deliberately did not go to King An, forcing King An to submit, and there was no way to see her face. Now King An seems to have lost his temper, and only gave her a black dot, not even a word. she says.
Ning Nuan put down the note and asked in a loud voice, "Is Prince An coming down?"
Behind the courtyard wall was silent, and another blank ball of paper was thrown over.
Ning Nuan was not annoyed, and asked, "Then can His Highness Prince An tell the people, what kind of cooperation did your brother have with His Highness?"
She waited for a while before throwing the paper ball over there. After unfolding it, she wrote four words: No need to worry.
"His Royal Highness An is joking. If the girl was not worried, she wouldn't have come to Yunshan Temple because of this. The girl came to find his Highness just to find out what happened." Ning Nuan paused. He said again: "Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince An wants to go back on his word and is unwilling to tell the people about it?"
"..."
Wang Quan bowed and bent over, his back was used as a table board, a piece of paper was spread on his back, a brush was stroked on it a few times, and it was tangled into a ball, and was discarded by the master on the ground at will. But after a while, there were several more paper balls at Wang Quan's feet.
Another piece of paper fell to the ground, and Wang Quan quickly lowered the paper in his hand. Chu Fei took it, and he hesitated a bit when he wrote.
"My lord." Wang Quan lowered his voice and whispered; "My lord, why can't you tell Miss Ning about it?"
Chu Fei didn't tell him what he planned to rebel. In Wang Quan's eyes, Ning Lang and him were just ordinary cooperation.
Chu Fei gently kicked him and whispered, "I want you to talk nonsense."
Wang Quan quickly closed his mouth.
When the paper ball fell into Ning Nuan's hands again, there was still not much content on the paper: some business transactions.
Ning Nuan said, "His Royal Highness still wants to deceive me? My brother knows nothing about business matters. When His Highness asked my brother for help, I am afraid that I have found the wrong person."
"..."
It was quiet for a long time over there before another larger ball of paper was thrown.
This time, Chu Fei wrote a lot. He ignored his preparations and goals, and only said that he had found a business opportunity in Qingzhou, but he could not come forward in person due to personal reasons, so he could only find Ning Lang. In order to reassure Ning Nuan, he also wrote out all the content related to the business opportunity, very detailed.
The business opportunity is real, and it is also real to ask Ning Lang to help. Even if Ning Nuan sent someone to Qingzhou to investigate, nothing could be found.
Ning Nuan was confused: "If that's the case, why is my brother hiding it from me? Even my parents don't want to tell me?"
There were several more paper balls at Chu Fei's feet.
He finally managed to write a reason that was quite satisfactory, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he crumpled the content he had just written, and stretched out his hand towards Wang Quan by the way.
"My lord." Wang Quan said bitterly, "No more."
"What's gone?" Chu Fei didn't respond for a while.
"Paper is gone!"
Chu Fei: "..."
He looked down and saw that there were several more paper balls at his feet, and there were a lot of them. But he hadn't said a few words to Ning Nuan yet. This is so good, why is there no paper
He immediately urged: "Quick, go to the study to get the paper."
Wang Quan responded and hurriedly ran away.
Over there, Ning Nuan couldn't wait for his news for a long time, and suddenly shouted in confusion: "Your Highness?"
"..."
"Your Highness? Are you still here?" Ning Nuan called out several times, "If you leave, can you tell the girl?"
Chu Fei looked back, Wang Quan didn't know what to do, and he still hadn't come back with the paper.
He was holding the brush, and seeing that Ning Nuan's voice was full of anxiety, he covered his mouth, coughed, and said in a rough voice: "I'm here."
Ning Nuan was relieved and said, "The lord hasn't told the women yet, why did the elder brother specifically hide this from us?"
Chu Fei thought for a while, and then said in a rough voice, "How do I know."
Ning Nuan: "…"
Chu Fei added: "He said that he wanted to support your Ning family, and that there is no chance for you to test your fame by studying. If I can give him this opportunity, he will naturally agree. Your Ning family has always been unhappy with me. If you tell Lord Ning , I'm afraid Lord Ning will not agree."
Ning Nuan thought about it, it was true.
But if even her parents did not agree, then Ning Lang himself would not agree. There is no one who hates King An more than Ning Lang. At home, it is not only her parents who tell her not to approach King An, but also her brother. He even hit King An several times.
"Then what did His Royal Highness Prince An promise my brother?"
"I'll give him whatever he wants." Chu Fei said, "Are you still worried that I'll lie to him?"
Ning Nuan shook her head, and thought that King An could not see, so she said: "The daughter of the people has no doubts about the words of His Royal Highness King An, but the elder brother has some quarrel with the lord, and the daughter of the people really can't guess, why did the elder brother talk to the lord again. Since the lord has promised the girl, don’t hide it, let’s say everything, so that the girl can feel at ease.”
Chu Fei opened his mouth, just as he was about to say something, another thought popped up in his mind, he thought, and immediately said: "If it's that simple, I'll tell you, won't this king lose a lot of money? ”
"Then what does the lord want?"
"This king's requirements are not very high. As long as you are willing to see this king, this king will tell you all the details." Chu Fei deliberately said: "Now you are begging this king, not this king."
"..."
Xiang Tao listened, and suddenly became angry.
Without waiting for Ning Nuan to say anything, she took the lead and said, "It was the prince who promised our young lady first, and now he has changed his words.
"This king only said that he wanted to tell you, but he didn't say how much." Chu Fei suddenly became complacent: "Miss Ning came to Yunshan Temple specially, and I'm afraid she will be unwilling to hear such a little news?"
Ning Nuan also laughed angrily: "Listen to what the lord said, does it have to be a meeting?"
"Miss Ning is really hard to see. My dignified lord, it's very rare to even see Miss Shang Ning." Chu Fei said sourly. Since A Nuan passed away, he has never seen A Nuan again. Now he has finally returned to the past, and when he met A Nuan, it is difficult to even meet him once. To rely on that look for a long time.
Thinking of his previous life, A Nuan was already his wife, when did he put so much effort into it
It’s hard to find an excuse to meet A Nuan, but it’s all twists and turns. Even the Yunshan Temple has been gone, but he hasn’t even seen a corner of his clothes. The closest one was also separated by a door. Only one figure could be seen.
"If the lord doesn't agree, then I just need to tell my parents about this matter. With my parents' personalities, I will naturally not agree to my brother's contact with the lord. It seems that the lord is going to find someone again."
Chu Fei was in a hurry: "We made a contract!"
"Oh?" Ning Nuan didn't panic at all, and asked, "Then the girl wants to ask the prince, if the elder brother goes back on his words, according to the contract, how to compensate the prince."
"..." Chu Fei was at a loss for words.
For Shang Ning Nuan, his usually dexterous tongue seems to be useless, and he can't even think of a simple reason.
Chu Fei hesitated, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of a suitable reason.
Ning Nuan said again: "The lord can't tell, so there is no more?"
Chu Fei choked.
He glanced back secretly, thinking to himself why Wang Quan, the stupid slave, hadn't come back with the paper.
As everyone knows, in the room, the guard also asked Wang Quan this question. Wang Quan held a stack of snow-white paper, and said calmly, "I'm just helping the lord. The lord wants to meet Miss Ning, how can I get one step closer to Miss Ning just by throwing the paper balls?"
The guard suddenly realized, and quickly gave him a look of admiration.
On this side, Chu Fei stammered and was speechless, so he could only ignore the matter for the time being.
"Since the lord can't say it, then the girl will go back and tell her brother. Since it's okay to quit, then quitting is just right, and the girl doesn't have to worry about her brother's safety." Go into the house.
Across a wall, Chu Fei seemed to have seen her move to leave, and hurriedly stopped her: "Wait!"
"Is your lord willing to say it?"
Chu Fei reluctantly said: "The terrain in Qingzhou is steep and there are many mountain bandits there. It is because of this that he is unwilling to tell you."
"Mountain bandit?"
"Those mountain bandits have been in Qingzhou for many years, occupying the mountains as kings, even the local magistrates have to give three points, and because of this, Qingzhou is also relatively poor."
"Then what does the lord mean by letting brother go there?"
"If you have a good relationship with the mountain bandits over there, Qingzhou has another advantage that has not been discovered by others. I will not tell you more about the secrets. I asked your brother to go to Qingzhou because of his ability. "
Ning Nuan was a little surprised: "What can I have on my brother to make the prince like this?"
Chu Fei said yin and yang strangely: "He can't read, he can't do boxing, he can't even do business, his brain is not good, but he is really good at making friends." First he, then Zhu Hanshan, and Ning Lang made friends One is stronger than the other.
Not to mention him—after coming back, he found that he and Ning Lang had become close friends, which was something Chu Fei didn't want to recall. Just talking about Zhu Hanshan, based on his understanding of Zhu Hanshan, Zhu Hanshan is not at all approachable and has excellent abilities, but he doesn't have many friends around him. The officials who come close are also acquaintances with a quirky temperament. Very, in his last life, he never heard who Zhu Hanshan was close to and who he was nice to, but in this life, he was hooked up by Ning Lang.
Ning Lang has a stupid mind and a straight temper. He can see the bottom at a glance. He only treats his friends with sincerity, which makes people reluctant to refuse when they see him. Chu Fei guessed that if he wanted to have a good relationship with those mountain bandits, he might have to let someone like Ning Lang go there.
After making a good relationship with the mountain bandits, the rest went smoothly.
"You can rest assured, I will naturally send someone to protect his safety, and I won't let him get into trouble easily." If something happened to Ning Lang, I'm afraid A Nuan would never forgive him in his life.
Ning Nuan couldn't believe it: "Really?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
"But I listen to my brother, it doesn't seem to be that simple?"
"Is he hiding something from you?"
Ning Nuan hesitated for a while and said, "Listen to what my brother said, it seems that this matter may also affect our Ning family..."
If it was just doing business, what kind of business would be so dangerous that the entire Ning family would be implicated
"He even told you about this?" After Chu Fei was surprised, he added: "Since this is the case, I will not hide it from you. If the Qingzhou matter happens, it will be stealing business from the emperor. Cooperating with the mountain bandits, you also know that if the emperor wants to govern the Qingzhou mountain bandits, none of us who have something to do with the mountain bandits will be able to escape."
"Just like that?"
"What else could it be?" Chu Fei said deliberately, "This is the first time Ning Lang has done this kind of thing, maybe he was afraid in his heart, so he told you about the danger. If it was really dangerous, I wouldn't be able to. Let him go. I also made a contract with him, and the content of the contract is that if something happens, it will definitely not affect your Ning family, and he will be picked clean. "
"..."
Ning Nuan was speechless.
What Chu Fei said were all the truth, but he concealed a small part of it, so he didn't feel guilty at all, so that Ning Nuan couldn't hear anything wrong.
"If you really can't, go back and ask Ning Lang, is there such a contract? I let that kid Ning Lang take advantage of it. He wants to make your Ning family flourish, so I gave him such an opportunity. If it weren't for you... For the sake of Ning Lang and I still have a good relationship, how could such a cheap thing happen?"
Ning Nuan was dubious, but couldn't find the fault.
"Can you really do what the lord said?" Ning Nuan hesitated: "Is there really no danger to my brother?"
"When did this king go back on what he promised?"
Ning Nuan said nothing.
When Xiang Tao heard this, she said bluntly: "The lord told our master earlier that he would never do anything to our young lady again."
Chu Fei: "..."
Chu Fei gritted his teeth secretly: Xiangtao, this maid, really hates her mouth in her previous life or in this life.
"This king said so, what's the matter?" He felt guilty in his heart, and raised his voice staunchly, and said, "This king said this before, but now I see your young lady again, is this not okay?"
Xiang Tao rolled her eyes in anger.
Ning Nuan was speechless. It was really difficult for her to deal with such a blatant expression by a foreigner.
Ning Nuan was embarrassed to stay too long, ended the topic in a hurry, and returned to the room with Xiang Tao.
On the other side, Wang Quan also came back with a stack of snow-white paper.
"My lord, the paper you want is here." Wang Quan said, "Write it for Miss Ning quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, his head was hit hard.
Chu Fei scolded angrily: "Stupid servant, waiting for you to send the paper over, this king's face is completely disgraced!"
Wang Quan laughed twice, and said flatteringly, "Look at the servant, the prince and Miss Ning are in good spirits, and the servant does not dare to disturb the prince."
Chu Fei snorted and looked back at the yard next door. There was a courtyard wall blocking it, and he couldn't see anything. Chu Fei raised his head and glanced at it. The courtyard wall was exactly the height he could easily climb over, but... It was just that the last time he climbed the wall, he was hit by Ning Lang and punched him.
Big loss, really big loss.
He took such an advantage, but he didn't even see A Nuan, it was a big loss!
Chu Fei looked back several times unwillingly, and had no choice but to take Wang Quan back.
Ning Nuan and Jiang Yunlan came to Yunshan Temple just to thank Master Huizhen, so they didn't stay on the mountain much, and they set off back to the capital soon. And after Chu Fei went to Master Huizhen to figure out the marriage, he could only set off back to Beijing unwillingly.
Chu Fei told Ning Nuan about the matter without much delay, and soon assigned Ning Lang a task to take him to Qingzhou.
If you go to Qingzhou, you will not know when you will be back, and naturally you will not be able to go back to the academy. Ning Lang had just calmed down for a few days, and then fell into sorrow again.
How to persuade Ning Yanting and Jiang Yunlan to agree without telling the inside story is also a difficult question.
Ning Nuan has been watching his movements all the time, but he only knew that he had made up his mind. After dinner one night, he went to find his parents. Not knowing what the three of them said, Ning Nuan secretly sent incense. Tao went to eavesdrop, but didn't hear anything. When Ning Lang came out of the room again, his nose was blue and his face was swollen. It was obvious that the two had cleaned up, but he finally agreed.
From that day on the seventh, Ning Lang was nothing, but Ning Nuan felt that his parents seemed to be nervous about him again.
First, Jiang Yunlan started busy looking for suitable young talents for her, and even Ning Yanting scolded King An several times, returning to the same attitude as before, even hating King An even more than before. He even secretly persuaded her several times in private, telling her to stay away from King An and not get close to King An.
He seemed to know that King An had a different idea for her again.
Ning Nuan was puzzled, and didn't know why their attitude was so big.
After a few days, Ning Nuan was not surprised when she heard the news that Xiang Taoshen had mysteriously come over and said that King An had been beaten.
Xiangtao was relieved: "My servant heard that King An was walking on the road, and suddenly a group of beggars jumped out from the road, and they beat King An without any explanation. When King An's guards ran over, those beggars came Some have already run away. When King An was beaten, it was on the streets of the capital. At that time, everyone on the street saw it. Miss, you don't know, now everyone is laughing at King An outside!"
Ning Nuan was puzzled: "Wang An was beaten, why are you so happy?"
"Could this servant be unhappy? Miss, Prince An has bad intentions towards you. If it wasn't for the poor skills of the servant, the servant would also want to beat King An in person." Xiang Tao said bitterly, "The servant of King An is really bad. Too shameless!"
Ning Nuan was helpless.
She closed the account book, took the account book she just read to go to Jiang Yunlan, but on the way she saw the maid next to her mother hurriedly walking out, with an unknown person beside her, she was curious and turned back and asked: "Beside Chuntao Who is that person?"
Xiang Tao said, "I haven't seen this servant before."
The man looked at the face, and he was bulging in his arms, as if he was holding a large sum of money. Ning Nuan glanced in the direction they came out, it was Jiang Yunlan's house.
When she entered the house, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, who did Chuntao bring to see you?"
Jiang Yunlan was startled and immediately said, "A Nuan, why are you here?"
"I've finished reading the account book my mother gave me, and I'll return it to my mother." Ning Nuan said, "Mother, you haven't told me yet, who is that person?"
"Ah Nuan, you don't need to worry about it, you're just an ordinary person. My mother asked her to do something, and now it's over, but it's just a small matter." Jiang Yunlan paused, as if afraid of her questioning, and added: "You Dad knows that too."
Ning Nuan didn't care, and didn't continue to ask.
"In a few days, my brother is going to Qingzhou. Is my brother's things ready?"
"It's all ready." Speaking of this, Jiang Yunlan became worried again: "Your brother is really, really good, he has to cooperate with King An, and he has to go to a remote place like Qingzhou, but I heard that there Poor mountains and bad waters, I heard that there are mountain bandits, your brother went there, what if there is any danger?"
"His Royal Highness An said that he will send someone to protect my brother."
Jiang Yunlan was indignant and seemed to want to say something, but she still didn't say it.
She whispered: "Your brother is really, who is not good with him, but he wants to be with Prince An, haven't he suffered enough from Prince An, and even believe what Prince An said, if he is trapped by Prince An in the future, I will won't help him..."
Ning Nuan listened without saying anything.
She thought to herself: But after my brother told the matter, I didn't see my father and mother stopping me
Maybe it was stopped, otherwise the injury on my brother's face wouldn't have healed up to now, but in the end, my father and mother agreed, and they also agreed with this matter.
Ning Nuan was just curious, what were they hiding from him.
Not to mention, why is his attitude towards King An so strange and capricious
