Chapter 97:

Jiang Yunlan raised her head, but saw a man in a long gown walking outside. After listening to Ning Lang's introduction, and listening to these bandits calling the king, she knew that the man in the long gown was the boss Yang who was disguised as a man.
But looking at this boss Yang with heroic eyebrows, just looking at his appearance, he could not see the slightest feminine meaning, I saw Boss Yang standing in front of other bandits, not as strong as those bandits, but somewhat handsome, if he was placed in the capital, I'm afraid it has already won the hearts of many girls.
Jiang Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and said to her heart: If she hadn't known it earlier, I'm afraid she would treat Boss Yang as a man.
She suppressed the emotions in her heart and raised her head to reveal an eager smile: "This is Yang...Miss Yang, right?"
Yang Zhen glanced at her, then looked at Ning Lang next to him, knowing that she was Ning Lang's mother, and said hello respectfully.
Yang Zhen walked straight to the main position and sat down. She raised one leg and stepped on the chair, her sitting posture was full of air. Jiang Yunlan saw it, raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything.
Ning Lang looked at her with bright eyes: "You have been hiding outside for so long, are you finally willing to come back?
"Why did I avoid it?" Yang Zhen said indifferently, "I just went down the mountain for a stroll. Why did I avoid you when I came to your mouth?"
This is actually the way it is.
Ning Lang responded again and again: "Yes, no, I made a mistake."
Jiang Yunlan turned her head and looked at him again, with surprise in her eyes.
"You didn't go back to the capital, what are you doing now." Yang Zhen paused, seeing that he was about to say that sentence, and then rushed to say: "Since you have come with your family, you live in Qingzhou. A few days, I’ve been entertained, and I’ll send people away in a few days. There are a lot of things on the mountain, so I won’t bother you. It’s also a few days off for you, and you’ll be back when you finish hosting your family."
Ning Lang choked, just about to speak, but was stopped by Jiang Yunlan's hand.
Jiang Yunlan smiled at her, and asked, "I don't know what my son is doing in this cottage, whether it is causing trouble to Girl Yang."
"There is no trouble, but it is useless." Yang Zhen said unceremoniously: "There is no shortage of food on the left and right mountains. He just keeps it. He can also read and count. He has a bit of culture than the big men on the mountain. Helping the mountain to calculate the accounts is not a waste of food."
Ning Lang choked again.
He touched his nose, and couldn't say anything to refute such unkind words to her.
There are many bandits in the cottage, and most of them rely on hunting for their livelihoods. Selling their fur to the towns down the mountain is still a fortune. He couldn't hold hands on his shoulders and couldn't resist, let alone hunting, because he could only keep track of the numbers in his daily life-this life was also Yang Zhen originally, and because he was eating plain rice, he reluctantly gave it to him.
Jiang Yunlan looked as usual, smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to Girl Yang."
Yang Zhen was very uncomfortable.
She coughed and said, "If there is nothing wrong, then I will leave first."
"Miss Yang, wait a minute." Jiang Yunlan's group turned around and took a look at Chun Tao. Chun Tao immediately saw the things prepared earlier came up. The things are packed in the brocade box, and there is nothing visible on the outside. "On weekdays, my son is very much taken care of by Ms. Yang. Today, I will follow my son. I will be bothered. I hope Ms. Yang will accept this."
"What is this?" Yang Zhen took it suspiciously.
She glanced at Jiang Yunlan, quietly opened the box in her hand, cast her eyes down and sneaked a glance inside. She didn't see what it was, only a piece of jewellery, almost blinded her. Yang Zhen hissed, took a breath, and unceremoniously opened the box in his hand.
A few gold ingots were neatly packed in the box, and the other mountain bandits suddenly looked straight.
Yang Zhen also straightened his eyes, did not look away from the gold for a moment, only asked, "What is this?"
Jiang Yunlan smiled and said, "It's a meeting gift for Miss Yang."
Be good.
This meeting ceremony is also too generous.
Yang Zhen stretched out his hand to touch this, touched that again, and then picked up a gold ingot and weighed it in his hand. He felt its heavy weight, and when he raised his head again, the look in Jiang Yunlan's eyes suddenly changed.
When she spoke again, her tone was soft, and she couldn't help but put a warm smile on her face: "Mrs. Ning, look at you, you are Ning Lang's mother, we should entertain you. That's good. What kind of gift to bring." She said, but quickly closed the box and handed it to the hands of other men.
The subordinate took the box and ran away in a hurry, not even leaving a chance to retain it.
Yang Zhen said with enthusiasm: "Mrs. Ning is here, but you can’t just leave as simple as that. It’s better to stay in my cottage for a few more days, and I will ask you to try wild boar for you. You are usually in the capital. Surely you can't taste these?"
Jiang Yunlan responded readily: "Then trouble Miss Yang."
Ning Lang looked at this to the left and that to the right. He didn't understand how it was, but it was just a few pieces of gold, but the relationship between the two of them was advancing by leaps and bounds. In the blink of an eye, he was affectionately like a mother and daughter.
Jiang Yunlan asked people to talk to Ning Nuan, and then she took people to live in the cottage. The cottages are mostly men, and Ning Nuan is a girl's house, and it is not easy to come here. Fortunately, there are people in Qingzhou City who can protect Ning Nuan, so she put her heart down and planned to concentrate first and trick Yang Zhen into going home.
Yang Zhenle hugged the box and ran towards his residence. Before he could get there, someone hurriedly chased him behind him.
"Wait! Wait!" Ning Lang chased after her anxiously.
Yang Zhen looked back and had to stop.
"What are you looking for me again?" Yang Zhen said with a headache: "I didn't tell you before, just as if nothing happened, I told you not to take it to heart, you still remember to do it What. It's all about returning to the capital, why come back?"
Ning Lang explained: "I'm back to the capital, it's not impossible to say I'm back."
Yang Zhen's head hurts even more: "Then you'll be back when you come back, what do you do with your mother?"
"That's it, my mother...my mother knows what I did wrong, so she told me...huh!" Ning Lang's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth before finishing a sentence.
"I know what you are going to say." Yang Zhen said, "I don't want to listen. I just told you clearly. Since even you said it was wrong, then we don't want to be wrong. You apologize to me and apologize to me. I also took it." She shook the box in her hand, "In that case, we are even more balanced, just as if nothing happened, isn't it better?"
Ning Lang was anxious and pulled her hands down with both hands: "How can this work!"
"Where is it going?!"
"If I did something wrong, I have to bear the consequences. A man, if he can't even carry any responsibility, how will I support the facade of our Ning family?" Ning Lang pointed to the back and said, "You Look, my mother is here too, and my mother agrees with what I did. You should be able to understand what I mean, right?"
Yang Zhen stretched out his hand, poked him on the shoulder, staggered him, and stepped back.
"Then I will tell you the truth. I rejected you several times. Just as I told you before, I didn't look down on you." Yang Zhen said cruelly and directly: "Being friends with you, I am Don't mind, being a friend is just a matter of fate, but if you were to be my husband, you would not fit my preferences anywhere."
Ning Lang looked a little aggrieved, looked at her pitifully, then lowered his head, staring at the toe of his shoe, and whispered: "Since you are pleasing to my eyes, it's not necessarily impossible."
"Look at you, in terms of skill, you will only hide behind me when you encounter things, and you will be able to learn. Compared with these people on the mountain, you are indeed amazing, but I also know how much ink you have in your stomach, but it is literacy. Afterwards, if you are really good, you would have participated in the Qiuwei a few days earlier, don't you think?"
Ning Lang's head lowered lower, unable to say anything to refute.
He was a little disappointed, and a little unconvinced: "If you don't marry me, who do you want to marry?"
"Even if I don't marry anyone, I am also a mountain king on this Qinglong Mountain, and I am not happy enough?"
"..."
Ning Lang suddenly had nothing to say.
He dropped his head in despair, and his whole body wilted.
Seeing his appearance, Yang Zhen felt unbearable in his heart. She looked at Ning Lang's appearance, more pitiful than the big dog at the gate of the cottage who was robbed of bones. Yang Zhen thought for a while and patted his shoulder again, saying, "Look, there are more in Beijing than I’m a beautiful and gentle girl. All of them are in line with your preferences. You don’t like me. Let’s assume that nothing has happened. You take your mother back and go to the capital to find a suitable girl to get married. No better?"
Ning Lang raised his head, glanced at her with moist eyes, then lowered his head silently.
He whispered, "I don't like you either."
"what?"
Ning Lang's voice became louder: "I said, if you are my wife, I don't mind."
Yang Zhen: "..."
Yang Zhen sighed: "But I mind."
Ning Lang had nothing to say.
This was so hurtful that he was speechless.
After a long time, Ning Lang said, "I will come again."
Yang Zhen felt her head hurt again. She wondered in her heart that she would tell everyone that Ning Lang would never come in again, so that Ning Lang would not chase him again. Drove her away.
"I know, you can’t look down on me. I can’t compare with talents or martial arts. There are many people in the capital who can’t look down on me. My father often said that my brain is stupid. I also know to take responsibility. If you don't like me, I will stay away from you in the future. I will only watch from a distance and will never disturb you."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, just about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by him.
"I know, you don’t want to see me, but you said earlier that you are still willing to be friends with me. You just have to treat me as your friend. I won’t talk about it anymore. Mention it in my heart."
Yang Zhen: "..."
Ning Lang solemnly said: "Although I am a little stupid, I will not give up so easily in everything. From now on, I will think of you silently in my heart until you feel that I am your husband. If that time comes, You haven't liked others yet, can you let me marry you again?"
Yang Zhen was dumb.
After a long time, she said, "Don't give up first when the time comes."
Ning Lang said: "Then I will go back to the capital, and never show up in front of your eyes to bother you."
Yang Zhen was speechless again.
She said in her heart: No wonder the little lady had to let her come over and talk to Ning Lang personally, maybe she knew Ning Lang's temperament, and knew that even if she said it, Ning Lang would not agree, so she specifically asked her to come to Ning Lang. Long.
Dare to love that she just avoided, and was coaxed back by Ning Lang's sister.
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Then do as you said."
Ning Lang let out a long sigh of relief, finally letting go.
He thought for a while, and then asked: "Then can I be a few steps away from you in the future?"
Yang Zhen: "..."
Yang Zhen suddenly had a headache, and quickly picked up his gold box and ran away hurriedly.
Ning Lang didn't catch up, watching her back disappear into the corner, and then she returned to her house happily.
As soon as he entered the door, a cat with a yellow tabby pattern jumped out, rubbed his leg, and gave a soft "meow".
Ning Lang bent over to pick up the kitten, touched the hair on its back, and said earnestly: "You have to become a tiger quickly, or you won't even be able to marry a wife."
"Meow~"
...
After receiving the news from Jiang Yunlan, Ning Nuan let go.
Although she was alone in Qingzhou City, she was protected by Wang An's people, and she didn't feel worried.
Only Chu Fei was even more happy after hearing the news. He followed Ning Nuan from the teahouse back to the inn, watched Ning Nuan enter the house, and then returned to his room.
Not long after returning home, Chu Fei came over and knocked on the door happily: "Miss Ning, this morning you said you were going to go out to the city of Qingzhou. Although something happened temporarily, now things are resolved, and it’s still too early. , Why don't I accompany you out again?"
He didn't hear the answer from inside, but Xiangtao came over and opened the door, sternly saying: "Lord, please come back, our young lady has already stopped."
Chu Fei had to walk away.
He went back to the room again. Only then did Wang Quan prepare his pen and paper, sharpen his ink, and start writing a letter.
Ning Nuan sat in the room for a while, and suddenly heard someone knock on the window. She glanced at Xiangtao, and Xiangtao quickly walked over and opened the window. Outside the window was a road on the street, with people coming and going. Xiangtao was about to close the door, but suddenly a letter floated and fell from the sky and landed on the windowsill.
Fragrant Peach: "..."
Xiangtao picked up the letter, closed the window helplessly, and said to Ning Nuan back, "Miss, it was His Royal Highness An that sent you the letter again."
"Bring it to me to see."
Xiangtao handed the letter to her, made another cup of tea for her, and then sat down beside her and sighed: "Madam and Master are going to the mountain, why don't you bring Miss you with you."
Ning Nuan replied casually while looking at the letter, "What?"
"The madam did not come back when she left. She left the lady in the inn all night, and now there is news that she will stay for a few more days." Xiangtao sighed, "Although the young master stayed for a while. Miss Protection, but Madam doesn’t know. His Royal Highness An also came to Qingzhou and lives next door to the young lady. Now that Madam does not come back, is it just to give An Wang a chance? Let An Wang pester her?"
Ning Nuan glanced at the letter quickly before saying, "What about it."
"They are all in the same inn. If His Royal Highness An comes to pester Miss, Miss can't stop her." Xiangtao said, and sighed heavily: "If it's okay in the house, there will be a wall. Now, there is also the gatekeeper. Even Madam will not easily let His Highness An over come, but now Madam is on the mountain, and I am the only one to accompany the young lady in the inn. His Highness An has been entangled for a day today, and I don’t know what will happen later Miss Entangling."
"Fragrant peach, polish the ink for me."
Xiangtao responded, got up and fetched the paper money for her, and stood aside rubbing the ink. Seeing that she actually started to write a reply, she said, "Miss, you see, you would never take your Highness An in the past, but now it's better, you are still willing to write to An Wang."
"I live next to him. He didn't pay attention when he came to call. Now he sent a letter and wants you to run around and pass the message back and forth?"
Fragrant Peach: "..."
Xiangtao thought for a while, and couldn't help but shiver.
She whispered: "Miss, you just ignore him."
Ning Nuan smiled without speaking.
She wrote the reply, got up and walked to the window, and clamped the reply in the window. Soon, a figure flashed by outside, and the letter in the crack of the window disappeared. "
Xiangtao became curious again.
"Miss, what did His Highness An Wang say in the letter?"
"There is also a custom in Qingzhou City. When one day comes every year, the whole city will be celebrated." Ning Nuan said, "He is here to ask me if he wants to visit with him at night."
Xiangtao's eyes widened: "The young lady agreed?"
"I didn't agree."
Xiangtao breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Nuan said again: "I seem to have heard of it in the book before. Why don't we go out at night and have a look together."
Xiangtao was surprised: "Just the slave and the lady?"
"No."
"Who else is there?"
Ning Nuan pointed at herself: "Young Master Ning." He pointed at her again: "He Shutong."
Fragrant Peach: "..."
...
Ning Nuan stayed in the inn all afternoon, and lunch was also settled in the inn. When the sky gradually dimmed, the street outside slowly became lively. Standing in front of the window, Ning Nuan could see that there were more people walking on the street than in the daytime. Lanterns were hung in front of each store, illuminating the whole street as bright as day.
She changed into men's clothing and confirmed that the people sent by Ninglang were following around, and then she took Xiangtao out together.
Xiangtao's heart was pounding nervously, until she stood on the street and saw many girls dressed as girls walking outside, she widened her eyes and looked at everything on the street curiously. She has never seen it before, even in the book, and feels that everything is very novel.
"The book said that there was a general in Qingzhou. At that time, the war was chaotic and the enemy wanted to take Qingzhou. It was the general who stood at the gate of the city and tried his best to not let the enemy in." Ning Nuan said, "Later Qingzhou. All the people resisted the enemy together. At that time, there were only two thousand people in Qingzhou City, but the enemy army was tens of thousands, but they also blocked them."
"Is that today?" Xiangtao asked.
"Later, in order to commemorate this day, the people of Qingzhou will celebrate in the same city every year on this day. On this day, there will be no curfew and everyone will come out." Ning Nuan took out his silver and bought a meal from a small stall. , Gave half of Xiangtao: "It has been a long time, but this habit has been retained. Throughout the year, except for the New Year, the most lively day is this day."
Xiangtao nodded.
Qingzhou folk customs are open, and on this day, everyone has walked out of the house. Some girls dressed as girls are still walking with men, not like siblings, but like lovers.
Xiangtao looked straight.
She yelled Madam a few times in her heart, and remembered that Madam was on the mountain and not here, and immediately looked at Ning Nuan, her face was nervous, for fear that some men might bump into their young lady.
Xiangtao followed Ning Nuan step by step, staring nervously at the people walking by, but did not notice that after they left the inn, the lord in the next room also dressed up and shook his fan to go out. Encountered.
It's just that there are so many people on the street today, and even those who come out together are easily scattered, let alone he is still a few steps behind.
Standing at the entrance of the inn, Chu Fei looked at the endless stream of people. He glanced to the left and then back again, but he couldn't find any familiar figures anyway.
Wang Quan reminded: "Ms. Ning wore men's clothing when she went out. Don't look at the girls."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Fei knocked his head with a fan: "Is this king such a person?"
Wang Quan quickly replied: "The slave is wrong, of course the prince is not."
"When you get here, you should change your name to avoid revealing your identity."
Wang Quan: "The slave knows, Master."
Chu Fei looked at the crowd again, but saw that among them, there were many women pretending to be men, and he was speechless. The Qingzhou folklore is open, but even the girls are reluctant to dress up. They try to dress up like men without knowing who they learned from.
He shook his head, raised his foot and walked out.
"Master? Are we not looking for Girl Ning?"
"It's just here. There are so many people here, so you can only look at luck."
Chu Fei said in his heart: He and A Nuan are so close to each other, even if they are among such people, they can definitely be touched.
And the other side.
Ning Lang heard the news and hurriedly went to Yang Zhen's house to find him.
"I heard that the town under the mountain is very lively today. I just stood on it and took a look. It's very bright underneath. Why don't you go and play with me?"
Yang Zhen's face was tangled.
Ning Lang quickly added: "It's just an invitation from a friend. We go down the mountain together on weekdays, right?"
What else can Yang Zhen say? Had to stand up and answer his words.
