King An allowed Ning Lang to come back and stay for a while longer, and Ning Lang was naturally overjoyed.
After dinner, he was dragged by Jiang Yunlan's ears and taken to the study. Listening to what he said at the dining table before, it was also related to his life-long event. Naturally, Ning Nuan could not miss this event, and went with him.
The four gathered in the study, Ning Lang was surrounded by the center, he looked left and right, always felt like a prisoner being questioned.
Jiang Yunlan secretly called the maid and asked her to bring some heart-saving pills that the old lady used to eat, just in case.
Ning Yanting didn't know anything about this, he looked at Ning Lang kindly and asked, "Dad just heard from you, you said you want to marry someone?"
"Yes, Dad." Ning Lang nodded quickly, "I think so."
"Which girl, do I know her
Ning Lang thought for a while, but didn't dare to tell the truth, he only said vaguely: "I met in Qingzhou."
Jiang Yunlan: "Is it a girl?"
"Of course." Ning Lang gave her a strange look: "I don't want to marry a woman, why should I marry a man?"
Jiang Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief, and threw the heart-saving pills hidden in his sleeves aside.
Ning Nuan asked, "How did my brother meet that girl? My brother was a bandit in Qingzhou. Could it be that when he went down the mountain to rob the house, he robbed the girl's house?"
Ning Lang raised his eyebrows: "Ah Nuan, don't talk nonsense, when did I commit a family robbery again, when I was there... When did I become a bandit?"
Ning Nuan was at a loss: "My brother sent a letter back earlier. Didn't he say that he became friends with the bandit chiefs in Qingzhou and became the five kings there?"
"That's what others have called. Being a mountain bandit requires fighting and killing. How dare I... No, your brother and I have always been law-abiding, so why would I do such a thing. Besides, King An asked me to go to Qingzhou, and I would It's not for me to be the King of the Mountain, I have serious business."
"The five kings are..."
Ning Lang scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't know why. I became friends with those four kings, and all those people on the mountain called me that."
The three of the Ning family: "..."
They said, with Ning Lang's work as a three-legged cat, how could he have the courage to be a king of the mountain.
"Then tell me, what's the matter with the girl you are talking about now?"
Ning Lang's face suddenly became tangled again.
Ning Nuan asked, "How did the brother and the girl meet?"
"Just... I got to know each other after I went to Qingzhou..." Ning Lang said hesitantly, "Don't worry about how we met, I'm coming back to tell you anyway, I'm definitely going to marry that person. ."
Jiang Yunlan raised her eyebrows: "See what you mean, even if we don't agree, are you going to elope with that person?"
Ning Nuan's eyes showed concern: "Brother, don't you be deceived by someone?"
"How can I be so easy to deceive." Ning Lang retorted dissatisfiedly: "Besides, can you still believe my vision?"
"..."
Even Ning Nuan, who was always willing to give him face, couldn't say anything at this time.
If she remembered correctly, in the spring of this year, her brother was also deceived by a secret prostitute named Xing'er. If she hadn't asked His Royal Highness for help, maybe her brother would have been eager to marry Miss Xing'er.
Although her brother has made a lot more progress than before, his head has not become smarter. Maybe it is still possible to make friends, but looking for his sister-in-law makes Ning Nuan a little suspicious.
She gave Ning Yanting and Jiang Yunlan a look and motioned them to go out, then she pulled Ning Lang to sit down, and said with concern: "Brother, now that both father and mother are gone, tell me the truth, I will definitely be with the past. In the same way, I don't mention a word to my parents."
Ning Lang looked at her hesitantly, but he didn't say anything like before.
Ning Nuan had to guess one by one.
"Could it be that the girl that my brother likes has a bad background?" There are many mountain bandits in Qingzhou, maybe the one that my brother likes is not the leader of the bandit, but the daughter of the leader of the bandit
Ning Nuan comforted: "Father and mother are not so fancy. As long as it is good, even ordinary people, father and mother will definitely not mind."
"That's right." Ning Lang said vaguely, "I don't mind that either."
Ning Nuan remembered how he had come back in a hurry. It didn't seem like he was ready to come back. He didn't even bring Qingsong with him. It was more like he fled back in a hurry.
Ning Nuan's breath stagnated: "Brother, you are not forced to marry by a certain bandit, right? If so, His Royal Highness An Wang is also your backing. Even if Qingzhou mountain bandits are rampant, it can be seen in His Royal Highness An's face. I don't even dare to do anything to you."
Ning Lang sighed, "It would be great if that was the case."
"..."
"..." Ning Nuan was silent for a long time, and then hesitantly said: "Brother, could it be... Could it be that the girl you want to marry hasn't promised you yet?"
Ning Lang sighed again, and didn't say a word, but tacitly agreed that it was the same.
Ning Nuan was dumbfounded.
She turned her head and stared silently at the beating candle on the table. After staring for a long time, she calmed down the violent fluctuations in her mood. Then she turned back and said helplessly: "The girl that my brother loves has not even agreed to my brother. , my brother ran back rashly and said that he wanted to marry her, but if she doesn't agree, will our family still do something to rob civilians? If so, what is the difference between it and a bandit. "
Ning Lang was even more confused.
He held his chin, sighed deeply, and said bitterly: "Actually, I don't really like her..."
Ning Nuan: "…"
"My brother doesn't like her, and the girl doesn't like her brother either. What would her brother do with her?"
"Ah Nuan, let me ask you." Ning Lang said, "What on earth do you girls think? Even if that kind of thing happened, you still pretend it never happened. I said I wanted to marry her, but she didn't agree... "
Ning Nuan: ! ! !
Ning Nuan's whole body is not well.
She hurriedly interrupted Ning Lang's words and asked eagerly, "What kind of thing?"
As if Ning Lang had just reacted, he took a deep breath and hurriedly covered his mouth, then shook his head vigorously, pretending that nothing had happened to him.
Ning Nuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a little more suspicion.
…
Ning Lang went to Qingzhou for a while, but when he came back, he really improved a lot. In the past, he couldn't keep any secrets, and he could ask them out with a little question, but now it's better, except for a moment when he quickly revealed the matter to Ning Nuan, and he never said it again, not even Jiang Yunlan and Ning Yan. Ting's stern questioning was useless.
Looking at him like this, there is still something that everyone doesn't understand. If you think about it, it must be something he encountered in Qingzhou, or a major event in life. Ning Lang was reluctant to speak, so everyone went to An Wang to inquire.
When Chu Fei received a post from Ning Mansion and invited him to be a guest in Ning Mansion, he was flattered.
He hurriedly cleaned himself up and ordered Wang Quan to find the gorgeous brocade robe newly made by the embroidered maid. The crown was inlaid with precious gems, and he was dressed in a radiant manner. Then he got into the carriage and lifted his peacock's tail proudly. Invited to a banquet.
In the Ning Mansion, only Ning Yanting, who was taking a shower, was waiting for him.
When Chu Fei saw him, it was like a son-in-law seeing his old husband. He was eager. He ate too many times and closed the door.
Ning Yanting talked a lot about everyday things, and finally brought the topic to the place he wanted to ask the most.
"After Gouzi went to Qingzhou, thanks to the care of the prince, it's just that the sky is high and the earth is far away. From the capital to Qingzhou, even riding a horse will take many days. What's the situation of the dog in Qingzhou, I don't know what's going on in the capital. Ning Yanting sighed and said, "Thanks to the prince's frequent delivery of news on weekdays, the lower officials can know some news, but others are still unclear."
Chu Fei smiled and said, "If Lord Ning has anything you want to ask, just come and ask this king."
Ning Yanting's eyes lit up: "Really?!"
"This king's words naturally count."
Ning Yanting said gratefully: "If there is a prince, then the lower official will be relieved... Xiaguan wants to ask the prince whether the dog has been close to any girl these days in Qingzhou?"
"... What?" Chu Fei was immediately dumbfounded.
Ning Yanting repeated: "Xiaguan wants to ask the lord which girl the dog is closer to."
"Girl?" Chu Fei was surprised: "He stays in Qingzhou, and usually deals with mountain bandits. When did he meet the girl?"
Ning Yanting was dumbfounded.
Even King An didn't know, Ning Lang was really keeping it a secret.
"This king explained that Ning Lang is working in Qingzhou. One is to make friends with those mountain bandits, and the other is to develop in Qingzhou. He doesn't stay on the mountain every day. Maybe after going down the mountain, he may meet a girl." Chu Fei added: "If Lord Ning is curious, this king will send someone to inquire about it. If you want to come, you will be able to find out the news soon."
Ning Yanting was overjoyed: "Really?!"
Chu Fei stretched out three fingers and said confidently, "As long as you give this king three days, this king will definitely be able to find the news."
"Then the official is here to thank the prince first!"
three days later.
Chu Fei held the news from Qingzhou Flying Pigeon, and went to visit Ning Mansion with a face full of embarrassment.
This time, not only Ning Yanting, but also Jiang Yunlan came. Meeting the eager gazes of the two, Chu Fei hesitated and said, "Ning Lang doesn't seem to have any close contacts?"
Ning Yanting: "..."
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
That's even weirder.
Who was the person Ning Lang said he wanted to marry
Jiang Yunlan went to Ning Lang again and revealed what she meant. She said that if Ning Lang wanted to marry any girl, she had to let her take a look. If she didn't nod, then Ning Lang would not be able to marry anyone. .
Ning Lang sighed sadly: "She's not necessarily willing to marry me."
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
"Even Zhu Hanshan got married, and you said you were Zhu Hanshan's best friend, but you didn't learn half a point from him. Not only is his knowledge inferior to him, but now he doesn't even get married as fast as him." Jiang Yunlan hated Tie. Bucheng said: "Don't wait for Zhu Hanshan's daughter-in-law to pass the door, you haven't caught anyone yet."
Ning Lang was aggrieved: "I wanted to marry, but she wouldn't agree!"
"Then tell your mother the girl's name, and she will go to Qingzhou to propose a marriage for you."
Ning Lang was silent again.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Yunlan cautiously, ran against the wall, and then avoided Jiang Yunlan, for fear that she would make such a request again.
When Ning Lang was urged back in Qingzhou, the house next door to the Ning family was finally completed.
Chu Fei asked people to move things into that house early, and then lived in it himself. He asked a young servant to give a gift to the Ning family, and then received a gift from the Ning family, secretly enjoying himself.
The dark guard sent letters to Ning Nuan every day, and naturally knew the location of her yard. Chu Fei chose a room closest to her yard in his new house. Staring at the wall in a daze.
Wang Quan saw it, but he muttered in his heart a lot, and he talked a lot in his heart, and he accidentally said: "The lord tried his best to move to the next door to Miss Ning, but when the servant saw it, it seemed that he did not live in the palace. What a difference."
Chu Fei glared at him immediately: "You stupid slave, what are you talking about?"
"Lord, you see, when you lived in the palace, you couldn't see Ning girl every day. When you get here, you still can't see it. It's a lie to get the moon first." Wang Quan said: "My lord, even if you I stood outside Miss Ning's house, if you can't see it, you can't see it, Miss Ning doesn't want to see you at all."
Chu Fei was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
"Now that this king is here, as long as Miss Ning goes out, won't this king be able to see her immediately?"
Wang Quan: "Miss Ning doesn't like to go out."
"The king is waiting."
"Miss Ning went out, but she still didn't want to see the prince."
Chu Fei looked at him coldly: "I think you want to get slapped?"
Wang Quan closed, not daring to say anything.
Chu Fei remembered itching in his heart, especially when he thought that Ning Nuan was in the room two walls away from him, he felt that his head was like a thousand ants, and even the crevices of the bones were itchy.
After nightfall, he looked at the wall again, and his heart seemed to have turned into thousands of fluffy cats rolling around.
Chu Fei looked left and right and saw that there was no one around, not even Wang Quan, and even turned out the window.
With his agility, he climbed over the wall and soon saw that the house next door was brightly lit.
Chu Fei was leaning against the wall, not daring to get close, but pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the room.
Now that it's quiet in the middle of the night, no matter what sounds are very loud, he can still vaguely hear the voices of Ning Nuan and the maid in the room. Chu Fei was about to concentrate on listening when suddenly he heard footsteps, it was Ning Lang who came to look for Ning Nuan.
Chu Fei hid in the dark, but Ning Lang didn't find him, and ran straight towards it.
"A Nuan!" Ning Lang hurriedly said, "I have something to ask you again."
"Brother?" Ning Nuan wondered, "It's so late, what can't we talk about tomorrow?"
However, Ning Lang asked his own question on his own: "If a girl's family is taken advantage of, but she doesn't care at all, and conversely persuades her to act as if nothing happened, is she special? hate me?"
Ning Nuan was stunned: "Brother... You... Who did you take advantage of?!"
"Nuan, don't worry about it, you just need to answer me. You say, does she hate me?"
How could Ning Nuan answer.
She also didn't know how shocking the girl mentioned by her brother was, and the etiquette she had received since she was a child could not allow her to do such a thing. If she, she loses her innocence, she can go directly to a nunnery and become a monk.
Ning Nuan was silent for a long time in shock, and a storm surged in her heart, then she took a deep breath and let it out again.
Ning Nuan heard herself pretending to be calm and said, "If it were me, my brother might not be able to return to the capital now."
"What's the meaning?"
"Qingzhou is sparsely populated, and there are many mountain bandits, so it's normal to have an accident."
Ning Lang: "..."
Ning Lang and the eavesdropping Chu Fei broke out in a cold sweat.
"Then according to what you said, she actually likes me again?" Ning Lang said, and became happy again.
Ning Nuan was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of girl my brother is talking about."
Ning Lang said quickly, "I have infinite strength, a bold temperament, and I can even fight tigers!"
"..."
Ning Nuan thought to himself: It's really not easy for my brother to return to the capital alive.
She couldn't bear to say again: "According to what you said, brother, maybe that girl... really didn't take her brother to heart."
"..."
Ning Lang suddenly collapsed: "Why is she like this!"
Ning Nuan thought again in her heart: The elder brother said that he didn't like that girl, but now it seems that he is on his mind.
Listening to what my brother said, it should be that the girl was taken advantage of, and for some reason, Ning Nuan looked at him, but felt that he was the one who was abandoned in the beginning and the end.
The little maids in the room had already fallen into sluggishness, Xiang Tao opened her mouth in a daze, looking at Ning Lang, unable to say a word.
Ning Nuan waved everyone back and let Xiang Tao stay outside. She closed the doors and windows, and then looked towards Ning Lang solemnly. Ning Lang's eyes met her, and she trembled suddenly, inexplicably feeling that she had a bit of Jiang Yunlan's shadow.
"A Nuan?" Ning Lang said weakly, "What happened?"
"I'd like to ask what happened to my brother." Ning Nuan frowned and looked at him: "My brother did such a thing, but he still wanted to act as if it never happened, and returned to the capital from Qingzhou easily. What is your brother thinking?"
"I... I said, I will marry her." Ning Lang whispered, "It's just that she doesn't agree, and I'm worried too."
After he finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong again: "A Nuan, what did you find?"
"What else do you want to hide from me, brother?"
Ning Lang suddenly turned his eyes away guiltily.
Ning Nuan said sternly: "My brother hastily shot at other girls. It's already a big mistake. My brother wants to run back from Qingzhou, so I will ask my brother, has my brother apologized?"
"Apologize."
"What did the girl say?"
"She told me to pretend that nothing had happened." Ning Lang was wronged: "I know I did something wrong and I want to take responsibility, but she doesn't agree, and I don't know what to do. "
Speaking of this matter, Ning Lang felt that he was the one who was most frightened.
He couldn't remember what happened. He just remembered that the whole cottage was very lively that night. He was drinking with a few bandit friends. He accidentally drank too much, and he forgot what happened later. When he woke up the next day, he found himself naked and in the same bed with the man.
Ning Lang almost scared half of his life.
When the man woke up, he thought he was going to be beaten to death by her like the tiger before. Who knew that when he apologized in a hurry, he was comforted in turn. When in charge, she refused without hesitation at all!
Ning Lang had slandered in his heart that this person was rude and unreasonable, and he was a mountain bandit. He also wondered if she was disguised as a woman, but now he hoped that she would be more like an ordinary woman.
As a result, he chased after the man for two days, and was beaten in turn. He was so anxious in his heart that when he was in a hurry, he found a horse and ran out. His original intention was to find the smartest A Nuan to advise him, and he calmed down after leaving the cottage, but he didn't dare to go back, so he had to run all the way back to the capital.
"That brother ran back, didn't he say nothing?"
"I don't know what to do, A Nuan, if she doesn't marry me, will she marry someone else in the future?"
Ning Nuan glanced at him silently and for a long time, then took a sharp breath before standing up.
"A Nuan?" Ning Lang looked at her blankly: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find my mother!" Ning Nuan said angrily, "Go to my mother, and go to Qingzhou to propose marriage for you!"
Ning Lang was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased out.
Jiang Yunlan was also ready to rest, but Ning Lang and Ning Nuan ran over together without thinking about the big night.
As soon as Ning Nuan knocked on the door, he immediately said, "Mother, I know, my brother really likes a bandit."
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
Jiang Yunlan took a deep breath, stared at Ning Nuan blankly, and touched the teapot on the table subconsciously. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a few sips before asking, "Daughter of a mountain bandit?"
Ning Nuan looked at Ning Lang.
Ning Lang qiai Ai said: "No, it's the King of the Mountain..."
Jiang Yunlan: "..."
Ning Lang stretched out his thumb and gestured: "The biggest one."
The tea cup in Jiang Yunlan's hand was not steady and fell to the ground.
Ning Lang was startled and immediately shrank his neck.
Jiang Yunlan asked in a erratic tone again, "Is it a man... or a woman?"
"Woman, of course it's a woman!"
Only then did Jiang Yunlan feel relieved.
Xu Shi's previous thoughts were so outrageous that when she heard that her future daughter-in-law was a bandit leader, Jiang Yunlan was extremely calm. She nodded and asked kindly, "Then when are you going to propose?"
Ning Lang and Ning Nuan looked at each other in confusion, and then tentatively said: "Mother, you can find a suitable time to go to Qingzhou with me?"
Jiang Yunlan nodded and agreed.
