Chapter 149: The Gentleman
The fate between people is so wonderful, for example, she and this brother and sister, met so coincidentally, and then they can fall in love like this, I can't say why, I just want to help them from the bottom of my heart.
Early the next morning, Xu Jingning knocked on Su Yunuan's door.
"Xiao Nuan, are you up?"
Su Yunuan was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book, when he heard a knock on the door, he hurriedly replied, "I'm up, you come in." ”
Xu Jingning pushed open the door, poked her head in first, and saw Su Yunuan looking at her, so she smiled and walked in.
"Staying like this every day, are you bored?"
"That can't be helped." Su Yunuan smiled bitterly and pointed to his legs, "I can only stay quietly for now." ”
"Not necessarily." Xu Ningning mysteriously pushed the wheelchair to Su Yunuan's bed.
Su Yunuan moved to the wheelchair and asked curiously, "Do you want to take me out to play?" ”
But when she thought of Xu Ningning's activities such as rock climbing, mountaineering, surfing, and so on, Su Yunuan shook her head in fright.
Xu Jingjing patted her head, "What do you think!" When you're done with breakfast, I'll take you to town! ”
"Really?! Is this okay? Wouldn't it be a hassle? Su Yunuan really wanted to go out for a walk and see this different world, but unfortunately he couldn't move.
"No problem!" Xu Jingning patted her chest, "With me, there is nothing impossible!" ”
An hour later, Pan Sen pushed Su Yunuan down the mountain with a depressed face.
Su Yunuan is full of black lines, it turns out that this is Xu Ningning's way, find a free laborer?
Pan Sen cried with a sad face, and he knew that Xu Jingjing would not have an errand for him. "My eldest lady, I have a lot of work to do."
Xu Jingjing slapped him vigorously on the back, and said angrily: "You are receiving my salary and working for me, so naturally you have to listen to my arrangement!" Don't worry, today you are a laborer and bodyguard, as for the housekeeper...... Leave it alone! ”
Su Yunuan looked back at Pan Sen embarrassedly, "I'm really bothering you, Mr. Pan Sen." ”
Pan Sen rolled his eyes, he dared to say it was really troublesome? If he said it, Xu Jingjing should teach him a lesson.
So he could only smile at Su Yunuan against his will, "It's okay, Miss Su, it's my honor to serve you." ”
"That's right!" Xu Ningning's expression of relief that "the child can be taught" stimulated Pan Sen to really want to hit the wall.
Descending the flat path, the view beyond the castle gradually emerges.
This town retains the style of the original mountain on a large part of the town, and the residents' houses are gathered in twos and threes on the relatively flat terrain, which looks unique.
A woman dressed in a farm hurried past them and went to work on a farm not far away.
The men carried large rolls of ropes and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
"They are going to take a boat to the town on the other side to change something, the town on the other side is several times bigger than here, and the level of supplies is also high, so the men in the town make a living from it, and they are specially used to purchase for the people of this town."
Xu Ningning patiently introduced Su Yunuan, "The farm in front is also my father's, and there are several workshops in it, and many people in the town work in the farm. ”
Su Yunuan nodded, looking at the surroundings curiously, everyone here seems to live very happily, there is no rich material conditions, the same optimistic and contented life, I have to say, the people here are just like the scenery here, simple, real.
"It's a pleasure to live here." Su Yunuan said sincerely.
The closer she got to the farm, the more people knew Xu Ningning, and when they saw her coming, they all greeted her.
People here affectionately call her "Jing", because the pronunciation is not very standard, so it sounds like "Jane" in English.
"Hey! Quiet! It's been a long time since you've been here, and you're sailing again? The kind-faced middle-aged man began to wave at Xu Ningning from a long distance, and only accosted her when he saw her walk in.
Xu Jingning happily stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Hunter, long time no see, you're handsome again!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, "Jing, you're still so joking." ”
"Hunt's wife is a servant in the castle, and they are very kind." Pan Sen lowered his head and patiently explained for Su Yunuan.
Su Yu nodded warmly, and when he saw Hunter setting his eyes on him, he smiled at him.
"Oh! Quiet! Who is this beautiful young lady? Is it also a Chinese girl? Hunter made no secret of his appreciative gaze, are all Chinese girls so beautiful?
"She's my friend, you can just call her 'Sue'."
"Hello, Mr. Hunter." Su Yunuan took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
Hunter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Su Yunuan's hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Su." ”
"I'm glad to meet you, handsome Hunter too!" After speaking, Su Yunuan blinked mischievously.
Xu Jingning couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and Hunter was rarely embarrassed. "Sue, you can't be like Jing and keep joking with me."
"We're telling the truth! Okay Hunter, I'll take you around Su Farm, so I won't talk to you yet. ”
"No problem. Sue, goodbye. ”
Su Yunuan smiled and waved at him, what a cute uncle.
After entering the farm, Su Yunuan really realized how big it was. At a glance, you can't see the end at all.
There are large tracts of farmland, all kinds of crops, and many peasant women are bent over to work in the fields, which is a bit like a small village in China.
Not far away, several small buildings stand.
"Over there, there's a mill, a processing mill, and a warehouse." Xu Ningning pointed to the building over there and introduced it to Su Yunuan in turn.
This reminded Su Yunuan of the days he spent in a small suburban town in the United States.
Ellie, Pete, Mi Lei...... I really miss them, and I don't know how they're doing now.
"When I was younger, I loved coming here because I could find a sense of home."
Xu Ningning was born in a small quiet village in China, from which she derives her name.
Xu lived in that beautiful place for five years before being brought back to England.
When she first lived in the castle, Xu Jingning was very unaccustomed to it, she couldn't sleep every night, and looked out the window quietly during the day, until her father accidentally brought her here.
The first time she entered the farm, Xu Ningning fell in love with it, and in order to better adapt to the environment, her father built a small wooden house in the farm, and then lived here with Xu Ningning for a few days from time to time.
In order to give her the best care, her father went to great lengths.
When the breeze blows, waves ripple on the farmland, close your eyes, feel the breeze caressing, and smell the fragrance of plants.
It was refreshing here, and Su Yunuan's heart also quieted down.
"Here, it's as if time can stand still." Su Yunuan opened her eyes and said softly.
"Yes, only here can you experience the real life."
"Miss, I think we'd better go back." Pan Sen casually glanced behind him, and immediately turned back to Xu Ningning and said.
Xu Ningning didn't know why, and glared at him, "Just come and go back?" You're kidding? ”
Pan Sen reluctantly pointed behind him, Xu Jingjing looked in the direction of his finger, and his face changed instantly.
Su Yunuan also turned his head curiously to look, and saw three men in suits walking towards this side, including the gentleman Otran who met yesterday.
"Mayor Town, your news is really not well-informed, why didn't you tell us when my sister came?" Otrang spoke to the mayor of the town, but his eyes stared at Xu Ningning playfully, as well as Su Yunuan behind her, "What a coincidence, Nuan, we meet again." ”
The mayor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt a pang of anxiety in his heart. Who doesn't know these grievances of the Gurant family, he can't afford to offend any of these people.
Politely bowing to Xu Jingning, the mayor said hello with a trembling voice. "Hello, Miss Xu."
Xu Jingjing snorted coldly, "I'm not good at all." Mayor Mare, not everyone can let them in! ”
"It seems that my sister is very unwelcoming to us, in that case, you can leave." There is something in Autran's words.
"Otran, you have made a mistake, this is the farm left to me by my father, I am the owner of this place, and now the master does not welcome you, who do you think should go?"
"You!" Otrang choked and glared at Xu Ningning angrily. Xu Jingjing was not to be outdone, glaring back.
Su Yunuan sat in a wheelchair, although she was very angry, she kept her sanity and didn't talk, after all, this was Xu Ningning's family matter, and she was not qualified to say anything as an outsider.
"Viscount Autrand, my master said that you are not welcome here, please leave." Pan Sen made a gesture of invitation towards the door.
Autran had no other characteristic, except that he was so thick-skinned that he didn't even look at Panson before saying, "A dog is not qualified to speak to me." ”
"But in my eyes, you're not as good as a dog." Xu Jingjing said coldly.
From the time Xu Jingning could remember, Pan Sen was already the steward of the castle, he was only ten years older than himself, but he was already sensible a long time ago. His father trusts him very much, and he is also very dependent on him, in his eyes, Pan Sen is not a housekeeper at all, and it is not too much to say that his family is not too much.
Who would allow someone to insult their own family?
Pan Sen's heart warmed, he took a step forward, and said without humility or arrogance: "Viscount Autrand." Please leave. ”
The mayor of the town was dripping with cold sweat, and he trembled and said, "Viscount, why don't we come back another day?" ”
Without waiting for Otron to answer, Xu Jingjing continued: "You are not allowed to come in the future!" This is my territory, I have the final say! ”
Otrang's anger finally exploded, he pointed at Xu Ningning, and shouted angrily: "This place belongs to the Gurant family!" Everything you have is a gift from the Gulrant family! You poor creature with nothing! Dirty stuff! ”
