An Ning and An Dashan could only nod and say nothing more. The Duke of England looked at these two people who were so funny. After laughing, he felt that there was still a long way to go. He didn't expect that a little girl would be so defensive.
When An Ning returned home in the evening, she told her family what happened today and her guesses. Gao said worriedly, "I thought the Duke of England was a little too enthusiastic about our family. I didn't expect that he had this idea."
An Yong was very happy to hear this and said, "Mom, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. The commander is a good man. Although he is a little older, there have never been any messy women in his house. Because of this, some people always speculate that the commander is a gay."
An Ning had not expected such a rumor to exist, and she burst out laughing when she heard it. Gao rolled her eyes at An Ning and said, "You are still laughing. You have always been a man of ideas. What are you going to do about this matter?"
An Ning smiled and said, "Mom, we have to fight back. Regardless of whether the Duke of England means this or not, even if he likes me, he still needs my approval. Although my family's title is not as high as the Duke of England's, we are also new nobles. I believe that the Duke of England will not use his power to oppress others."
After hearing what An Ning said, the An family members were relieved. An Ning added, "Since Big Brother is inviting our whole family, why don't you go pick up Sister Wan'er tomorrow and we can go out together to relax and strengthen your relationship."
An Yong was naturally happy to do so, so he said, "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the message right away."
After saying that, he left in a hurry. Seeing An Yong leave, Gao said, "You guys go tomorrow. I'll stay at home to look after little An Rui. He's been particularly clinging to me these days."
An Ning pinched little An Rui's cheeks and said, "You little clingy guy."
Little An Rui thought An Ning was playing with him, so he opened his little mouth with four teeth and tried to put An Ning's hand into his mouth. An Ning was so scared that she quickly pulled her hand back. Don't underestimate this kid's little teeth, they are very powerful.
An Ning thought that they were going to go hunting tomorrow, so she didn't force Gao to go with them. She just said, "Okay, Mom, we will definitely hunt a deer and then we can have a venison hotpot. How about that?"
Gao smiled and said, "Okay."
An Ning was not a person who worried about everything. She ate and drank as she should. The next morning, after An Ning and her friends had breakfast, An Yong went to the governor's mansion and took Yin Wan'er out.
Yin Wan'er was not someone who could hold back. When she heard An Yong's message yesterday saying that they were going to play at the farm today, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for half the night.
When An Yong brought Yin Wan'er to the An family, An Dashan and his daughter and Duke Ying were already waiting at the door. When they saw An Yong and his friends coming back, they exchanged a few words and then left.
The village that the Duke of England mentioned was not far from Juyong Pass. It was only more than ten miles east of Juyong Pass. An Ning and Yin Wan'er were sitting in a carriage at this time, looking at the beautiful scenery outside. Yin Wan'er said in surprise: "Sister An, look at this apricot blossom forest. It's so beautiful!"
An Ning also liked this place very much and said, "It is indeed beautiful. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery here with my elder brother later. We will go hunting for you."
The separation between men and women in the Yong Dynasty was not so strict. As long as unmarried men and women were engaged, they could go out alone, and no one would say anything. Yin Wan'er felt a little shy after hearing An Ning's words, and said, "Sister An, if you tease me like this again, I won't play with you anymore."
An Ning knew that Yin Wan'er was shy, so she quickly admitted her mistake and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll accompany you later and let Big Brother go hunting, okay?"
Yin Wan'er was stunned. It was not that she didn't want An Ning to accompany her, but she had finally met An Yong, so naturally she had a lot to say.
She raised her head hesitantly, but saw An Ning's mischievous eyes. She immediately realized that she had been deceived, so she said, "Okay, you little girl are teasing me again, I will teach you a lesson."
For a while, the two of them started to play around in the car. An Yong and the Duke of England were riding in front of them and heard the laughter from behind. They looked at each other and said nothing.
When they arrived at the farm, several people came to greet them. They were the head of the farm. They got off the carriage and went into the farm to rest for a while.
After resting, Duke Ying said to everyone: "As you have seen just now, there are apricot trees all around here. You can walk around freely." Then he looked at An Ning and said: "An Ning, didn't you say you wanted to go hunting? It's getting late now, why don't we go now!"
An Dashan remembered what his wife Gao said that he couldn't let Duke Yingguo and An Ning be alone together, so he said quickly, "Okay, let's go quickly. I haven't hunted for a long time, and my hands are itching."
The Duke of England was not angry, and took An Ning and An Dashan to the back mountain. Because they were going hunting, An Dashan and An Ning brought all their tools. The two bows were made after they got rich, and they were much better than before. Each of them also had a dagger on his waist, which was a trophy of An Yong and was given to the two. The two liked it very much and would carry it with them when they went out.
The Duke of England was also fully equipped, and he was accompanied by a personal soldier. The prey on this mountain was either wild or raised by the Duke of England, so he was sure there were deer here.
An Ning and An Dashan were both experienced. They were like fish in water once they entered the forest. The father and daughter worked well together. The Duke of England saw that this was not going to work. He couldn't give up the opportunity he had finally gotten, so he winked at his personal guard.
The personal bodyguard was very tactful. He squeezed next to An Dashan and said, "Lord Rongchang, I have shot a deer in this area before. I will take you to look for it." Then he pulled An Dashan's sleeve and walked forward.
An Dashan couldn't pull out his sleeves, so he could only shout, "Ningning, hurry up and follow me."
An Ning agreed and walked forward, followed by the Duke of England. However, the guard was a bit fast and soon left An Ning behind. An Ning was a latecomer and her physical strength was not as good as those of the trained masters. After chasing for a while without catching up, she stopped chasing and walked forward slowly. The Duke of England followed An Ning step by step.
The Duke of England said, "There's no need to chase the two people in front of us. Their direction may not be correct. I see animal feces here. If we follow these traces, we will definitely find prey."
An Ning nodded and said, "Brother Gu is right." So the two of them continued walking forward in this direction.
