Her family's mulberry garden is located in a lonely mountain, and the more she walks to the mulberry garden, the more uninhabited it becomes.

The mountain path is remote and lonely, only the sound of the wheels of their carriage can be heard, there is no shop in front of the village, there is even the sound of mountain apes whistling from time to time, Cuiyu lifted the curtain, the scenery of the noon smoke in the mountains outside the car was reflected in Cuiyu's eyes, and Cuiyu couldn't help but hold Ningxia Qing's hand with some fear.

The carriage stopped in front of a manor house at the foot of the hill, on which hung a plaque that read Bao Luo Zhuang.

Baoluozhuang is the manor of the Ning family, built at the foot of the mountain, and the steward in charge of the Ning mulberry garden and the mulberry farmers hired by the mulberry garden are generally here.

Ning Xia Qing got out of the carriage and stood at the door of Zhuangzi, intending to go in to find someone to guide her, but before she reached the door, an old man came out and stopped her: "Girl, this is Ning's manor, outsiders are not allowed to trespass, girl should go back." ”

Ningxia Qing said: "I am not an outsider, I am Ningxia Qing, my ancestor Ning Yongda, and my ancestor Ning Wangping." I came here today to go up the mountain to see my mulberry garden. ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then an unbelievable expression appeared in his eyes: "You...... Are you really the daughter of Young Master Yongda? ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but be stunned: "The old man knows his father? ”

Two tears suddenly welled up in the old man's eyes.

Ningxia Qing was stunned, not knowing what to say, Cuiyu showed a frightened look on her face, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to block in front of Ning Ningqing, obviously afraid that this strange old man would do something to hurt Ningxia Qing.

"I was able to meet the granddaughter of Master Wangping in my lifetime, I ...... I really ......" The old man couldn't stop crying, and cried: "After so many years, I ......"

Ningxia Qing Xunyan asked, "Could it be that the old man used to work under the ancestors?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "I am the steward under Master Wangping back then. This time, Master Wangping has been gone for so many years......"

The old man let Ning Ningqing and his party into the Zhuangzi and sat down, and lamented: "I heard that Young Master Yongda also left a while ago, is it true?" ”

Ning Ningqing's expression darkened and nodded.

The old man couldn't help but look sad and sighed: "Young Master Yongda died young, and Master Wangping knows about it...... Alas, by the way, madam...... No, it's an old lady now, how is the old lady? Are you okay? Young Master Yongda...... No, it's Master Yongda, this kind of thing happened to Master Yongda, can the old lady still stand it? ”

Ningxia Qing replied: "My grandmother is fine, although she is sad, she can hold on." ”

The old man showed a look of admiration: "The old lady was more determined than ordinary women when she was young, and when the old lady Wangping passed away, she ......" However, before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by a rough shout: "Who dares to trespass on Baoluo Village?!" ”

Immediately, a middle-aged man dressed in an oil-green satin robe, wearing jade and jade ornaments around his waist, holding a fat belly, and a fierce face walked out of the house.

The middle-aged man pointed at the old man's nose and scolded, "You useless old minion! I ask you, who is this stinky girl? Don't you know that this is Ning's manor? How can others come in at will? Let me show you the door, you dare to let people in casually! It's terrible! Believe it or not, I'll kill you today! ”

The old man hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the fifth old man, this is the granddaughter of the old lady Wangping, and I want to come and see the mulberry garden of the old lady Wangping." ”

"Ning Wangping's granddaughter? Phew! The middle-aged man spat disdainfully and scolded, "Want to see Ning Wangping's mulberry garden? Who knows if this is Ning Wangping's granddaughter, didn't she lie about her identity and come here to plot misdeeds! Get me out! He immediately signaled to several rough envoys behind him, and those rough subordinates immediately came up to Ningxia Qing with unkind faces.

The old man hurriedly stretched out his arm to stop those people, preventing them from approaching Ning Ningqing's side, and explained in a panic: "Fifth master, you see, this girl has filial piety for Master Yongda, and she must be the granddaughter of Old Lady Wangping, and there will be no fake." This is the mulberry garden of the old lady Wangping, this girl wants to see her own mulberry garden, there is no reason to drive people away......"

However, before the old man finished speaking, he was pushed away by the middle-aged man with one hand, and the old man who was in the middle of his life lost his balance and took a few steps backwards, and actually fell to the ground! Ning Xia Qing immediately went to help the old man up. Immediately, several rough subordinates had already surrounded Ningxia Qing, and the panicked Cuiyu and the expressionless Ah Zheng immediately protected Ningxia Qing's left and right.

The middle-aged man pointed at the trembling old man, and reprimanded arrogantly: "Be careful when you talk to me!" What Ning Wangping's mulberry garden? This is Ning's mulberry garden, which belongs to Master Ning! Ning's mulberry garden is all Ning Da's! That Ning Wangping died thoroughly more than ten years ago, and he still has a fart relationship with this mulberry garden?! ”

The middle-aged man immediately motioned to the rough subordinates with his eyes, and the rough subordinates immediately surrounded him and stretched out their dirty hands to grab Ning Xia Qing. However, as soon as one of them stretched out his hand, he was whipped out three feet away by Ah Zhengyi's horsewhip! Ah Zheng stood in front of Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu, and scared the other rough subordinates so much that they didn't dare to step forward.

The middle-aged man's face changed, and he looked at the horsewhip in Ah Zheng's hand, and didn't dare to step forward casually, so he pointed at Ah Zheng and shouted, "You guys...... Who the hell are you...... Isn't it...... Didn't you come out of the heart to make trouble? This is Master Ning's Zhuangzi, if you dare to make trouble, I don't think you want to live! ”

Ning Xia Qing saluted the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Wutang, I am Ning Yongda's daughter Ning Xia Qing. In fact, she had already recognized it, this middle-aged man was Master Ning's cousin, called Ning Yongjing, and Ning Zhiheng's father, it seemed that Master Ning handed over her mulberry garden to Ning Yongjing to take care of.

Ning Yongjing scolded angrily: "You little girl of unknown origin! Hugh is talking gibberish into a troublemaker! Do you think Ning's door is so easy to enter? I can tell you, the person behind this Zhuangzi is Master Ning, do you think you are a little girl and still have the ability to fight with the old man? I don't know how to die if you die! ”

Ning Ningqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's okay if the fifth cousin refuses to admit me, why don't you ask Cousin Zhiheng to come out, and let Cousin Zhiheng introduce him to Uncle Five." After speaking, Ning Xia Qing looked at the back of the Hanging Flower Gate, and from the back of the Hanging Flower Gate, he happened to see an exposed human head.

The man's head jerked back. Ning Zhiheng was shocked, he did arrive at Baoluozhuang a few steps earlier than Ningxia Qing, but he didn't expect Ningxia Qing to see him!

Ning Yongjing heard Ning Ningqing say this, his face changed, and he looked behind the weeping flower door in a panic, and saw that Ning Zhiheng's head had retracted and disappeared, knowing that Ning Zhiheng was going to call someone, so he calmed down a little.

While quietly retreating from Ah Zheng, who was holding a horsewhip, he pointed at Ning Xia Qing and the others and scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" My son Zhiheng is not here! I think you're an impostor to make trouble! ”

The trembling old man hurriedly said to Ning Ningqing with a sad face: "Girl, get out of here quickly!" Young Master Zhiheng must have gone to call someone! There are a lot of strong men in this village who are lazy and lazy, and they specialize in fighting and brawling, and the fifth master raises them as thugs, and when they come, you won't be able to leave! ”

Immediately, the old man hurriedly nodded to Ning Yongjing and begged: "Fifth master, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger!" It's my fault today, it's my fault, I shouldn't just let people into Zhuangzi, I'll take a few of them out! You don't remember the villains, let them go! ”

Ning Yongjing shook his flesh and said arrogantly: "Think beautiful!" These people dare to break into Master Ning's Zhuangzi, and those who dare to whip and hurt Master Ning, they won't be able to leave today! Don't let this wild girl who doesn't know what to do know is powerful, others still think that Master Ning is easy to deal with! And you, you old thing that eats inside and out, see if I don't pick your skin for a while! ”

Ning Yongjing quietly glanced behind the weeping flower door, and sure enough, he saw Ning Zhiheng leading a few fat and strong men over. The old man and Ning Xia Qing and his entourage also saw it, and the old man hurriedly pushed Ning Ning Qing and his party out, and said to Ah Zheng: "Young man, protect the girl quickly, you go quickly!" If you don't leave, you'll be in trouble! ”

Ning Xia Qing was reluctant to move, right now, even if Ning Xia Qing escaped, Ning Yongjing would definitely not let go of this old man, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but ask with a worried face: "But if we leave, what will you do?" ”

The old man pushed them out with all his might, and hurriedly said, "My son has helped the third old lady, and because of my status as my daughter-in-law, they won't really treat me like this." Now my son has gone home for dinner, and when my son comes back, I will be fine. They refused to admit the girl's identity, because they were determined to trouble the girl, so the girl had better get out of here! ”

Ning Xia Qing and his party were pushed out by the old man, and the thugs on Baoluo Village had already chased after them, and Ning Yongjing was panting while catching up: "You guys stop for me!" How dare you come to the door without knowing whether you are alive or dead, you don't want to leave so easily! Stop me! ”

The old man hurriedly stuffed Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu into the carriage, and hurriedly explained to Ah Zheng: "I'll stop them, you take the girl away, drive the carriage as fast as possible, there are a lot of fast horses on this village, you must not be caught up by those horses!" If they catch you, I don't know what they will do to you! ”

Ning Xia Qing took the old man's arm and hurriedly said, "Old man, I'm still not at ease, I'm afraid that after we leave, they will embarrass you." I can't leave you here, so why don't you come with us. ”

The old man instantly showed a somewhat touched look, and Yin Yin said: "Don't worry, girl, my old bones are fine, you go first, when it's convenient, the girl will come to see the mulberry garden again." I can see such a slim girl today, I will be relieved, and when I go down to see Lord Wangping one day, I will definitely tell Master Wangping that the girl is so good now, presumably Master Wangping will be able to look at it......"

Ningxia Qing was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Why does the old man say this, is my grandfather ......?"

However, the thugs of Baoluozhuang were getting closer and closer, and the old man hurriedly said, "Girl, let's go, it's too late!" Then he ran over to stop those strong men and buy time for Ning Ningqing and his party.

Ningxia Qingyu was stunned spontaneously, and suddenly said: "Ah Zheng! ”

Ah Zheng, who had already jumped into the carriage, turned around: "What? Still worried about the old man? Do you want to take him back with you? ”

Ningxia Qing replied: "No, don't take him." ”

Ning Ningqing immediately attached himself to Ah Zheng's ear and said something, and Ah Zheng immediately jumped out of the carriage neatly and walked towards the old man.

The old man had been pushed a few rounds in order to stop those thugs for Ning Xia Qing, but he still held one of the strong men and didn't let go, the strong man raised his arm slightly, and the old man was thrown out, staggering backwards, fortunately being held by Ah Zheng with one hand.

When the old man saw that it was Ah Zheng, he showed an anxious expression on his face: "Why are you back again?" Why don't you take the girl away? ”

Ah Zheng didn't answer, he had already let go of the old man, and several thugs surrounded him, Ah Zheng waved the whip in his hand, and the thugs approached him without a gap, and Ah Zheng immediately went straight to Ning Yongjing.

Ning Yongjing saw Ah Zheng coming towards him, he couldn't help but show a frightened look, and said as he retreated, "You...... What are you doing? ”

Ning Yongda retreated, and hid not far from the side of several thugs, beckoning those people to protect him, but Ah Zheng waved his long whip, blocking the way of those thugs, so that those thugs could not get close to Ning Yongjing, and then, before Ning Yongjing could shout, he was caught by Ah Zheng's hands behind his back.

Ah Zheng said in a deep voice: "Whoever gets close to my girl again, this old man's life will be in danger." ”

The group of thugs were like headless flies in an instant, in a dilemma, Ah Zheng added the strength in his hands, Ning Yongjing screamed out in pain, and hurriedly shouted: "You all stand down, don't get close to the carriage!" ”

Ning Zhiheng also ran out of the Zhuangzi, watching all this in horror, but he didn't dare to approach, he only dared to hide far away and reprimanded: "You actually dare to make trouble in Baoluozhuang, you, you, you...... Don't want to live anymore?! ”

Ah Zheng glanced at Ning Zhiheng, too lazy to sarcastically say why Ning Zhiheng, who was allegedly not in the Zhuangzi just now, appeared at this time, and only said calmly: "When my girl saw her fifth cousin, she felt cordial in her heart, so she wanted to invite the fifth master to get together in the carriage and say goodbye." ”

After speaking, Ah Zheng carried the horsewhip in one hand, and twisted Ning Yongjing's hands with the other hand to take Ning Yongjing to the side of the car, Ning Yongjing squeaked in pain, and had no power to fight back under Ah Zheng's push.

Ah Zheng took Ning Yongjing to the side of the carriage, Cuiyu had already poked her head out, still holding the hairband that had just been taken off her head, and she and Ah Zheng worked together to tie Ning Yongjing's hands behind her back with the headband.

Ning Yongjing was like a pig that was tied up but didn't want to die, struggling desperately, Ah Zheng slapped him hard, Ning Yongjing let out a terrible scream, Ah Zheng threatened: "I haven't used all my strength yet, if you are honest, I won't beat you." ”

Ning Yongjing wailed: "You are robbers! It's kidnapping! I'm going to sue the county government and arrest you all!" ”

Ning Ningxia's calm voice came out in the carriage: "Uncle Wutang, don't be afraid, we are the same clan, as we all know, the people in the Ning clan are the most affectionate, how could I kidnap Uncle Wutang?" It's not that Uncle Wutang refuses to believe that I am Ningxia Qing, so he caused this misunderstanding, so I will take Uncle Wutang to find someone to introduce him. Ah Zheng, catch the car! ”

Ah Zheng jumped into the carriage and whipped in a dashing manner: "Drive!" Then the small broken carriage rumbled away, leaving everyone in Baoluo Zhuang to stay in place and be stunned.
