In the distance, a few people heard the movement here and heard that King An was here, so they came to look for King An.
Hearing the sound of laughter, Ning Nuan quickly avoided his sight and pulled Miss Xue back a few steps. Sure enough, someone soon appeared on the trail not far away. When they saw King An, their eyes lit up and they walked towards this side.
Because of the appearance of an outsider, Miss Xue, who was behind her, began to tremble again. Ning Nuan grabbed her hand, frowned slightly, and looked at King An.
Why didn't Chu Fei understand what she meant
He could only grimaced and nodded at Ning Nuan from a distance, just as if he knew it and allowed them to leave. He regretted in his heart why he didn't find an excuse to let Miss Xue leave, otherwise he would not have missed such a great opportunity.
And these people who came up suddenly, scared Miss Xue not to say anything, and made him watch this hard-won opportunity slip away before his eyes.
Seeing that Ning Nuan and Miss Xue left here calmly, until they could no longer see their figures, Chu Fei reluctantly retracted his gaze, and when he saw these women with admiration in his eyes again, he only felt in his heart. Irritability.
Chu Fei pushed Jinghe Princess, Jinghe Princess immediately understood what he meant, and immediately waved: "You guys stay away from loneliness."
The ladies who wanted to come over at first glanced at each other and took a step back hesitantly.
"His Royal Highness." One of them said cautiously, "We just want to have a few words with King An."
"Gu said no, it just won't work." Princess Jinghe said with a stern face, "Uncle An Wang wants to be with Gu, so I don't have time to play with you."
The ladies looked at each other again and had to step back.
When they were all gone, Princess Jinghe looked up at Chu Fei: "Uncle An Wang, Aunt Wang Fei has left, what should I do?"
Chu Fei said angrily, "How do I know?"
"You wouldn't blame me for this, would you?" Princess Jinghe suddenly became worried: "This has nothing to do with me, I have already said good things for you in front of Aunt Wang Fei, and Aunt Wang Fei is not me either. Scared away, if you blame me, it would be so wrong!"
"I didn't say I should blame you." Chu Fei said with a dark face.
Only then did Princess Jinghe breathe a sigh of relief and put her heart down: "It's fine if you don't, then you can take me out of the palace again next time."
Chu Fei responded, and she was happy again.
On the other side, Ning Nuan also took Miss Xue to a small pavilion with no one. Avoiding people, there are no people around, only a pond next to the pavilion, in which the koi swing their tails and slap the water in the pool.
Miss Xue finally calmed down, and she said to Ning Nuan with some guilt: "It's all me who has troubled you."
Ning Nuan shook her head: "What kind of implication is this. As it happens, I don't want to stay too long. Even if it wasn't for you, I would leave soon."
Miss Xue looked at her and couldn't help but be a little curious. She thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't hold back, and asked cautiously, "I see King An's appearance, as if he is chasing after you."
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, neither denying nor admitting, but said, "You are also curious about this."
"If it's someone else, I'm not curious." Miss Xue said softly, "But if it's about you, I'd like to know."
Others have nothing to do with her. Although she has known Ning Nuan for a short time, it has only been an hour or two since the first meeting, but she can't help but fall in love with Ning Nuan, she can't help but want to. Know more about her. Looking at King An's appearance, it was obvious that she was interested in Ning Nuan. If Ning Nuan nodded and agreed to King An, she couldn't help but think carefully, if Ning Nuan married King An, would it be a good choice.
If Ning Nuan doesn't care about An Wang, then An Wang is aggressive. If Ning Nuan is troubled by this, she can go and beg Daddy. Daddy also has some prestige in the court. For Daddy's face, An Wang Xing will give up this plan. But if Ning Nuan is interested in An Wang...
Miss Xue couldn't help being lost.
It was Ning Nuan's voice that brought her back to her senses.
"My parents, and my brother, they don't agree." Ning Nuan said softly: "They said that King An and I are not suitable, although I can't see it, but one of them, I will also promise."
Miss Xue tentatively said, "What if you fell in love with King An?"
"Not now."
"What if there is?"
Ning Nuan said lightly: "Then there is."
"Then you still have to listen to your parents?"
"If that's the case, I'll try my best. Even though the major matters of marriage have to be ordered by my parents, it's impossible for me to marry someone I don't understand and I'm not satisfied with."
Miss Xue couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this okay?"
She only knew the words of her parents' matchmaker. Now that she has reached her age, she is also ready to wait for Mrs. Xue to choose a suitable marriage for her. She can't help worrying about this matter, because of her temperament , If you marry an unfamiliar person, I am afraid you will not only frighten yourself, but also frighten the other party. But it would be too difficult for her to get acquainted with someone. So far, she doesn't have anyone close to her, and even the cousins who walked around a lot in the past are far away from each other and dare not approach.
Suddenly hearing Ning Nuan say this, Miss Xue seems to have discovered a new world.
But if she wants to marry someone she likes, it will be harder than accepting a stranger.
She couldn't help but ask: "What about King An? If your parents don't accept this, what should you do?"
"If I really want someone I like, then he also has a bright spot. As long as my parents see it, they will definitely understand..." Ning Nuan paused, thinking of King An, and shook his head again: "It's just me Never met."
Miss Xue couldn't help sighing.
Ning Nuan felt amused: "What are you sighing for?"
"I just feel so sad."
"Nine times out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life. If you can find a person who is satisfactory in every aspect, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky." Ning Nuan said, "Even if it is my mother, she and my father knew each other before they got married. It was because she and my father were in love with each other that she came to the capital with him, but she also complained to my father many times in private."
Especially before the separation of the family, her father was still a filial person. The old lady had friction with her mother, and her father often couldn't get along with each other, and her mother was even more so. For the sake of her father, I don't know how many times she endured it. It has even become a habit to endure until the back. When it was the most serious, her mother finally woke up, and she didn't like anything about her father, until after her father was injured and cheered up and separated the family, the two finally became affectionate again.
Miss Xue nodded seriously: "My mother too, my mother and I have complained several times, saying that my father is too stubborn, but when he is facing my father, she will not say a bad word, and everyone else will say , they are very loving." Listening to her mother's complaint again, it doesn't seem like a complaint anymore.
Miss Xue sighed: "My mother said that she will find me a good family in the future, but I know that if it's just for our Xue family, there will naturally be some people who are willing to marry me, but I'm still very worried."
Other aristocratic young ladies, at her age, have begun to see each other for marriage, and so does she. But Mrs. Xue looked and looked, but couldn't find a suitable one. No matter how good a young talent is, when considering her character, Mrs. Xue hesitated and couldn't make a decision.
Seeing that she was in a low mood, Ning Nuan raised her head, her eyes fell elsewhere, and she changed the subject: "I finally came out and came here again, I think the scenery here is just right, it would be a pity if you don't look at it again. ."
Miss Xue nodded and stood up.
Just as they were about to leave the pavilion, a servant suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Ning Nuan, "Miss Ning, there is someone outside who said he was looking for you."
Ning Nuan was puzzled, looked at Miss Xue and asked, "Who came to me?"
"It seems to be a servant of your Ning family."
Ning Nuan glanced at Miss Xue, and Miss Xue immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Ning Nuan then took Miss Xue and followed the servants out. She went out to take a look, and it turned out to be their Ning family's maid, that maid was specially placed in Zhu's house and let her take care of Grandma Zhu on weekdays, but now she suddenly came to look for her, thinking that something had happened to Zhu's family.
Before Ning Lang left, he specifically told her to help take care of Zhu Hanshan and his grandma. Upon seeing this, Ning Nuan immediately said, "What happened?"
"Miss, it's the Zhu family. There was a creditor who came to collect the debt, and there was a lot of trouble." The maid said anxiously, "The slaves moved out of the Ning family, but let them go, but according to their meaning, they said they would come again in the future. , the servant can't make up her mind, so she came to find the young lady."
Ning Nuan asked, "What about Grandma Zhu?"
"Old Madam Zhu was shocked, but fortunately there was nothing serious. The servant asked the neighbors of Zhu's family to take care of him, and this time I came to find Miss." The maid said, "The servant originally wanted to find Young Master Zhu, but Madam Zhu said that Young Master Zhu was in the academy. I'm busy with my studies, don't disturb him, the slaves have to come to the young lady."
Ning Nuan pondered for a while, then turned around and said to Miss Xue, "I'm in a hurry now, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you."
"I'll go with you." Miss Xue said anxiously, "I listened to her, it seems that there are debt collectors coming. You went alone. What if something happens?"
Ning Nuan couldn't help frowning: "If you go, it will hurt you."
"Don't worry, the maids by my side were specially recruited by my mother. They are all good, and it's not a problem to beat a few hooligans." Miss Xue said, "I hide far away, and I don't dare to approach, It won't bother you."
"Then you are in the carriage, don't get off."
Miss Xue nodded again and again, which made Ning Nuan relieved.
Ning Nuan turned around and asked the servants in the garden to tell Jiang Yunlan, and then asked Xiangtao to go to Ning's house to find a few strong servants, and to the academy to notify Zhu Hanshan, and then got on the carriage and hurried. Busy to Zhu's home.
Not long after they left, the servant who was going to inform Jiang Yunlan was stopped by Chu Fei and asked, "Why did Miss Ning and Miss Xue suddenly leave?"
The servant told him what he had heard.
Chu Fei suddenly said, "Why is Zhu Hanshan's matter still related to her?" Needless to say, it must be the mess that Ning Lang left behind when he left.
He couldn't sit still: "She's a girl who hasn't left the cabinet to help other men with housework. What is this. Wang Quan!"
Wang Quan responded quickly, "The servant is here."
"Go and call a few thugs here, and this king will also go to Zhujia Village." Chu Fei said, "We will solve the whole matter of Zhu Hanshan together, and I will save her trouble in the future."
Listen again, what debt collectors come to the door, how are those debt collectors so easy to deal with, Ah Nuan has thin arms and thin legs, if he accidentally bumps and touches him, he will feel distressed to death.
Not long after the two carriages left, An Wang's carriage also hurried out.
By the time Jiang Yunlan found out, the two had already left for a while.
Not only Jiang Yunlan was surprised, but also Madam Xue: "You mean, even my daughter went with me?"
"Exactly."
Mrs. Xue couldn't sit still: "She has always been timid, how dare she go there, and if something happens, what should I do?" Although Miss Xue was accompanied by a maid who knew some boxing skills, she But how can not let go.
Jiang Yunlan is even more so. By her Nuan side, there aren't many maids who know how to punch and kick!
The two couldn't sit still for a while, and hurried out.
Only Jing and Princess searched around, but she couldn't find her Uncle An Wang and Aunt Wang Fei, even the good-looking person next to Aunt Wang Fei disappeared. She just felt very at a loss.
…
The maid's worry was right. When Ning Nuan and Miss Xue hurried to Zhujia Village, they saw that there were people standing outside Zhu's house again. Many villagers stood by and watched, and there were shouts and slaps. come. Ning Nuan and Miss Xue looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes.
"You stay here, don't go down." Ning Nuan urged: "No matter what happens, don't go down."
The first time Miss Xue saw such a scene, she was so close, she couldn't help but feel the fear in her heart. She resisted the fear, nodded, looked worriedly at Ning Nuan walking off the carriage, and quickly followed by the maid who instructed her, leaving only one person to accompany her.
Ning Nuan approached, only to hear the sound coming from the room.
She listened intently for a while, seeing only the strong man's scolding, and the content of the scolding, it seemed that no one could be found, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the maid who took care of Grandma Zhu Hanshan, and the maid hurriedly said, "I let Mrs. Zhu live in another person's house in the village, maybe it hasn't been discovered yet."
Although Zhujia Village is small, they work together. These debt collectors are all foreigners, each with a fierce face. Although no one dares to stand up to stop it, no one exposes the place where Grandma Zhu is hiding now.
It's okay to say that people are fine. Ning Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. But it was smashed something, and it was repaired after left and right.
The debt collectors couldn't find anyone and walked out of the house cursing.
"Where's the person? Where did the dead old woman go?" The debt collector looked angrily at the onlookers: "Where did you hide the dead old woman? Her son owed me a lot of money before. I haven't paid it yet, do you want to rely on it?"
The maid said in a low voice: "Master Zhu also fell ill and left a lot of debts. These debt collectors are so shameless, Master Zhu has written letters for others and copied books for the study over the years, and the money earned can only be To pay interest, it is said that I still owe a lot of money. I heard from the neighbors of Zhu’s family that these debt collectors will come to make trouble every once in a while.”
Ning Nuan nodded, and then listened to the strong man who came to collect the debt and said loudly: "I heard everything, her grandson is studying in Qingshan Academy, and she also received the subsidy silver from King An, so much silver, and silver. Studying, but not paying back, tell me, what kind of reason is this!"
"Hanshan can give you a lot of money every month." The villagers who were watching couldn't help but said: "He has given so many years of money, isn't it enough to pay off the debt?"
"Of course it's not enough. The money he gave is only for interest. His father asked me to borrow money. I'm not a good person. How can I borrow money without interest?" The strong man said: " Don't think that if you pay the interest, you can treat it as repaying the money. If he doesn't repay the money, I will go to Qingshan Academy to find him. The academy is very famous. I want the whole academy to know that he owes money and will not pay it back. , I see how he can continue to stay in that academy!"
Ning Nuan could not help frowning.
She was anxious, just wondering why Xiangtao hadn't brought someone here.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly saw a luxurious carriage slowly stop in front of me, and before the people in the car got out, I heard a familiar voice: "This king wants to know, in this large audience, Who dares to touch the king's people?"
Ning Nuan's eyes moved slightly, and he turned to look at the carriage.
In the distance, Miss Xue, who had been secretly watching here, also breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart finally fell back to the ground.
I saw a young man dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes coming down from the carriage. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, which was out of tune with this small mountain village. As soon as An Wang appeared, everyone turned to look at him.
Not only the villagers were stunned, but even the strong men were stunned.
And Chu Fei shook his hand, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and walked slowly towards Zhu's house. The surrounding villagers separated to both sides, spontaneously vacating a path that could accommodate people to pass through. Chu Fei brought a group of thugs with him and walked to the yard of Zhu's house. Stand face to face with the burly men who come to collect debts.
Ning Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, and out of the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of someone walking over. She turned her head to look, but saw that Grandma Zhu came over with the help of a villager. She was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to help.
"Miss Ning, I've caused you trouble." Grandma Zhu said sadly, "I didn't expect you to come here. I didn't expect to trouble you, alas..."
"This is nothing. Before my brother leaves the capital, let me take care of you. If something happens to you, if my brother finds out, he will definitely blame me when he comes back." Ning Nuan said, "It's fine if you're fine. "
Grandma Zhu sighed: "Miss Ning, you are a good person, and Young Master Ning is also a good person. It is our family that has affected you."
"Where's Hanshan?" She said anxiously again, "I didn't tell Hanshan about this, right? He studied hard, so don't disturb him."
Ning Nuan shook his head slightly.
Grandma Zhu sighed and said nothing.
She quickly cheered up again, looked at the people in the yard, and said hesitantly, "That's..."
"That's Prince An." Ning Nuan said, "It's Prince An who came to help you out."
"An Wang..." Grandma Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and then she couldn't help but exclaimed him. "My lord?! Why is he here!?"
Of course, Grandma Zhu also knows about King An!
An Wang got a bonus in the academy, and later there was a subsidy of silver. Their family Hanshan got a lot of benefits. I wish my grandma not to thank him too much. Now when I heard this, it still alarmed An Wang, and I was even more panicked. .
"Hey, why is the prince here..." Grandma Zhu panicked and didn't know what to do: "The prince is here, shouldn't it be because he is dissatisfied with Hanshan..."
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness Prince An is here to help you." Ning Nuan reassured.
Grandma Zhu was stunned for a second, then looked over there blankly.
In the yard of Zhu's house, Chu Fei showed his identity and frightened those who came to collect debts.
"What... what a lord!?" The strong man's tone of ferocity suddenly calmed down, looking at his luxurious appearance, he didn't know whether to admit it or not. He said sternly: "What lord, I think you are a liar!"
"This king has been in the capital for so many years, but this is the first time I have met someone who I don't even recognize." Chu Fei put away his fan and said, "Wang Quan."
Wang Quan stood up immediately and said, "Our lord is the younger brother of today's sage. Have you never heard of the name of King An?"
Of course you've heard of it!
They even mentioned King An just now!
The villagers onlookers let out an exclamation, and even the strong man who came to collect the debt was startled.
But they have heard of it, but they have never seen the appearance of King An. To say that the Zhu family knew such a powerful person, they would definitely not believe it, but if you think about it carefully, King An provided subsidy money to Zhu Hanshan, if they knew it, it was not impossible. And now this person standing here, all the clothes on his body are luxurious, and at first glance they don't seem to be ordinary.
The people who came to collect debts glanced at each other, and they couldn't help showing hesitation in their eyes.
Could this man really be King An
Zhu Hanshan even got on with King An...
They came here just now. The little girl said that she was from the Ning family in the capital. They were worried for a while and did not dare to provoke the Ning family, so they left, but when they went back, they thought about it. She was like a maid from a big family, and then she went back and forth, and ran back again, but she didn't expect to run away.
It used to be the Ning family, and now it's King An, why is it that everyone from the Zhu family is older than the other
The strong men glanced at each other, and when they spoke, their aura was already a little short: "Then Zhu Hanshan owes us money, is it just that?"
