Chapter 91: Village Lodging
"Then you should bring more people." Qin Han said, "It's always right to bring a few more people to protect you. If you don't have enough people around you, I can send them to you."
He really cares about her, Xin Nianyan can feel it.
Therefore, she put away her joking thoughts and thanked her seriously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but no, I still have enough manpower here for the time being. Even if it is not enough, I can still train them myself."
After all, those given by others are not as easy to use as those she has trained herself to use, even if this person is her fiancé.
Qin Han sighed softly, knowing a long time ago that she would not accept him.
"Then can you tell me, what exactly are you here for today?" Qin Han no longer struggled with this question, but asked the doubts in his heart.
Naturally, he didn't believe that Xin Nianyan was just here to burn incense, let alone to have fun.
But it was getting dark soon, and I had to go back, but I didn't see her doing anything.
Even in the temple, he didn't see what Xin Nianyan did.
But Xin Nianyan still said the same thing, and said with a smile: "He is just here to burn incense. What does the prince think Nianyan is here for?"
Facing her eyes where the smile didn't reach her eyes, Qin Han smiled helplessly.
Since she didn't say anything, he didn't ask.
Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Qin Han said quietly: "It will get dark soon. I'm afraid the city gate will be closed when we get back."
"With the prince here, are you still afraid that the city gate won't open?" Xin Nianyan joked.
Qin Han looked at her and smiled helplessly.
"Then you can't abuse your power. Besides, I left the city in a low-key manner. If the city guards opened the door, wouldn't everyone know that King Han was out of the city? Maybe they would also know that King Han was with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The eldest lady went out of town together."
He said the last sentence on purpose.
He knew that Xin Nianyan didn't necessarily want others to know about their relationship, or that he didn't want others to know that they were close.
Sure enough, Xin Nianyan heard the words and said: "Then let's find a place to stay for one night and then go to the city tomorrow."
It just so happened that this was what she had planned.
"This seems good." Qin Han had no objection at all and seemed to be looking forward to it.
Winter nights always come very early, and it's already dawn, but Xin Nianyan and the others have been gone for less than an hour before it gets dark.
Xin Nianyan asked Shi Wu to check if there was any place where he could stay overnight, and he would find a place to stay outside tonight.
And it was very clear that there was a small village nearby, and that village was her target.
After walking for a while, Shi Wu's voice came from outside: "Miss, there is a small fork in the road ahead. It looks like we can find her home. Do you want to take a look?"
"Well, let's go take a look." Xin Nianyan said.
So the carriage turned from the main road into the small fork road. The path was bumpy and the carriage moved slower.
Xin Nianyan opened the small curtain next to him and looked outside. It was pitch black, but the white snow around him made his vision less dark, and he could barely see the route clearly.
Soon they saw a small village. There seemed to be dogs guarding the entrance of the village. As soon as the carriage approached, there was a sound of barking dogs.
Some villagers came out to check and when they saw it was a carriage, they were so frightened that they clenched their wooden sticks in their hands.
"Who, who is that person!"
Shi Wu stopped the carriage and went down to talk to them.
"Uncle, we were passing by. My young lady came out to burn incense. It got dark halfway there. I wanted to stay in your village for one night. Can you help me?"
Hearing this, the uncle turned his head and looked around. Xin Nianyan and Qin Han had also gotten out of the car.
The two of them are handsome and talented, and even though the sky is dark, you can still tell that they have an unusual temperament. At first glance, they look like young ladies from a wealthy family.
"This... it's possible, but our village is run down and I'm afraid the young lady will dislike it." The uncle said hesitantly.
Xin Nianyan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "No, no, I just need to arrange two rooms for us. I won't dislike it."
Seeing that she spoke so politely and didn't seem to dislike her at all, the uncle breathed a sigh of relief and showed a kind smile: "Okay, come with me."
"Okay, sorry sir."
Xin Nianyan thrust a piece of silver into the uncle's hand. The uncle was startled and pushed it back without thinking: "I can't do it, I can't do it."
"Uncle, please accept it. We haven't had dinner yet. We need to trouble you to buy some food and make dinner later." Xin Nianyan said.
After hearing this, the uncle reluctantly accepted the money: "Then, I will take you to the village chief's house first, let the village chief arrange a place for you, and then buy you food."
"Okay, sorry sir."
Shi Wu continued to catch the carriage, while Xin Nianyan and Qin Han followed the uncle on foot.
A stranger came to the village, and he seemed to be a wealthy man, so the villagers naturally came out to check on him.
Someone asked the uncle who these people were, and even teased them if they were rich relatives from his family.
Even though I asked this question, everyone in the village knew everything about it. Who didn’t know who’s family? How could this old man’s family have rich relatives?
The uncle said he was just a passing guest who came to stay in the village.
After everyone heard this, they didn't ask any more questions.
The uncle took Xin Nianyan and the others all the way to the village chief's house. Along the way, Xin Nianyan was quietly observing the houses passing by, trying to see if he would see the person from his previous life.
But I didn't see it along the way.
The village chief's house was having dinner. When he saw the old man bringing some strangers over, he asked doubtfully: "Old Yangtou, what is this?"
"Village Chief, this is a passing guest. I came here to offer incense. It's too late to go back after dark. I want to stay in our village for one night. You see, I don't have any extra room in my house, so I brought it to you to see if I can
Arrange a place for them to live."
As Old Yangtou said, he also took out the ingot of silver given by Xin Nianyan: "No, this is the silver they gave me."
The village chief was surprised when he saw the white money, but when he saw Xin Nianyan and the others' clothes, he felt normal again.
"I happen to have an empty room in my house, but... there is only one room. It looks like there are four of you." The village chief said hesitantly.
The village chief's wife came out. She also heard what Old Yang Tou said. She looked at the silver and swallowed unconsciously.
"There seems to be an empty room at Wang Dachui's house. Why don't you go ask them?" the village chief's wife suggested.
The village chief frowned: "Their family?"
It seemed like there was something hard to say.
But he didn't expect that when Lao Yangtou led Xin Nianyan and the others along the way, some villagers came to watch the fun, and among them was Wang Dachui, whom the village chief's wife said.
He had just seen the white silver, and his eyes were straightened. He was about to suggest that people go to his house, but he didn't expect the village chief's wife to say it first.
Wang Dachui immediately ran over with a smile...
