White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 78
Wen Ning met Yan Li smoothly.

The other party was originally a businessman in Suzhou. After his wife passed away, the two elders in the family feared that he would be hurt by the scene, so they moved the family to the capital and started a business in the capital.

Being able to gain a firm foothold in the capital has something to do with being in the capital.It may be favored by the lady of the official family, but it is quite different.

Wen Lan tried a little, but the other party couldn't believe it, and nodded hurriedly.

The meeting turned out to be in the wing room where I met "Wang You" a year ago.

Wen Ning sat down and chatted with him, and then watched a play together.

Except that the scene when she met "Wang You" popped up from time to time, which made her a little annoyed, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Yan Li is very satisfied with you, and wants to ask a matchmaker to come directly to your door to propose marriage, what do you think?" Wen Lan came to Xiangti Courtyard to ask her that night.

It's already summer, and the capital city is starting to feel a little dry, Wen Ning is waving her round fan, pondering slowly.

This businessman behaved decently, not the kind of philistine with a smooth tongue, and his appearance did not disgust her, and he could chat with him.

Of course, compared to Zeng Xu from the Ministry of Industry, what she likes the most is actually his background.

When a man and a woman meet for the first time, what they show is probably the best side.In this world, being able to see each other before marriage is beyond the imagination of some people. It is impossible to figure out his character and even his family's character in a short period of time.

But he was a businessman, and he didn't have much background in the capital. If she married and lived happily, she would get along with her and leave without encountering any resistance.

Another thing I like is that he is widowed and has a son.

It wasn't that she was rushing to bring up other people's children, but that she had spent so many years with Pei You in her previous life, and she never drank a bowl of Bizitang, but she was never pregnant.

There might be something wrong with her body.

Yan Li already has a young son, if he gets married and lives well, he won't have to suffer because of the issue of heirs.

"Brother, the lotus in Tianshan Pond is about to bloom." Wen Ning made a decision, "Why don't you invite Mr. Yan and his young master to enjoy the lotus together?"

Since he intends to marry him, the young master of his family will also meet him to see if he is a good match.
-
A carriage came from south to north, breaking the wind.

Gu Fei was driving the carriage himself, and Wang Qinsheng was beside him helping to whip the horsewhip.

After several days and nights in a row, Wang Qinsheng couldn't take it anymore, his face was so disheartened that he was about to hang on to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei pushed him away in disgust: "If I had known this, my son shouldn't have brought you out!"

"At first, I didn't say that I had to hurry back to Beijing." Wang Qinsheng murmured with drooping eyelids, "I should have gotten enough sleep in the county office before I set off."

"What do you know?" Gu Fei snorted, "Your Majesty put the prisoner and the account book in two places, and the account book is with us. Of course, we have to rush back to the capital as soon as possible and hand it over to His Majesty!"

"This..." Wang Qinsheng wanted to say, the prisoner didn't show up and brought the account books back, so it's impossible to start the trial right away.

But he didn't understand the affairs of the court, so he shut up.

"If you can't bear it, get in the carriage." Gu Fei pushed him away again.

"I..." Wang Qinsheng cheered up, "I'm not going!"

His son is not in a very happy mood recently, so he went to the carriage... He would rather drive the horse outside to eat ashes.

Gu Fei pulled the rein, leaned down to his side, and lowered his voice: "Do you know why the son is in a bad mood recently?"

Wang Qinsheng scratched his head, how would he know?He said that he came to take care of the young master's daily life, but the young master lived in Jiangning mansion for more than half a month. After he came out, he has been busy supervising the construction of the school, so he will meet sooner or later.

"Maybe it's just touching the scene..." Wang Qinsheng sighed in a low voice.

The Wang residence was on fire for more than a year. Before leaving Beijing, he went back and burned the paper money once, but did not inform the young master.

Madam always said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and when the son is in high school, she and the master will go to the south of the Yangtze River.The carriage was running fast, but when passing by Huzhou, the young master suddenly called to stop. The carriage stopped in front of a house for half a cup of tea, and the young master hurried to leave without getting off the carriage.

At that time, he was looking at the gate of the house, with a pair of big red Chinese knots hanging on it.

In the old days, Mrs. Wang would hang Chinese knots at the gate of the house during Chinese New Year.

The young master is in a bad mood these days, probably because he remembered their passing away.

Pei You in the carriage didn't feel that she was in a bad mood.

Although the trip to the south of the Yangtze River took a long time, everything was planned.The account books handed over by the prefect Xu are enough to bite off the governor of Liangjiang who has been rampant for many years.

This time, there are two groups of people, one is detaining people, and the other is detaining account books. If someone can't hold back and robs the prisoners of the prefect of Xu, a bigger case can be involved.

It has been more than a year since the Wang residence was on fire, and he arranged for Wang Fu and Mrs. Wang's daily life early on, allowing them to settle in Huzhou.

Passing through Huzhou before, he really wanted to meet them, but in the end he only stayed in front of the house for a while.

It is still unknown who wanted the lives of the two.It is also unknown whether the other party knew that they had actually escaped.Although he had already arranged for someone to secretly protect their safety, he didn't want to take the risk of directly exposing them to others.

He just felt a little dry and hot.

He has never been afraid of the heat, but the more he went north after leaving Jiangning, the dryness in his heart became more and more intense.

When Gu Fei and Wang Qinsheng were talking outside, Pei You was taking off his outer shirt, leaning on the swaying carriage, sinking into a dream.

In the dream, it was also the 15th year of Jiahe, in May.

He is still in Jiangning and has not returned to Beijing in time.

The blank letters, marked red, were handed to him one by one.

"It's cold in the middle of Beijing, Miss Wen is afraid of the cold, and the Liang family doesn't give charcoal fire."

"Ms. Liang lost a jasper bracelet. She searched Miss Wen's yard and found it in Linglan's room. She wanted to sell Linglan. Miss Wen begged and exchanged two boxes of jewelry for peace."

"Ms. Liang said she was sick, and asked Miss Wen to wait on her sickness. She made the girl stand by the couch all night, unable to sit or lie down."

"Miss Wen fainted due to illness and broke her forehead. Mrs. Liang refused to call for a doctor."

……

"Extremely absurd!" Pei You angrily threw the letters on the table and called out, "Gu Fei!"

Gu Fei hurried into the room.

"Has Prefect Xu not recruited yet?"

Gu Fei raised his eyes and saw Shizi's stern face, and said: "Not yet. Maybe...our people entered Jiangning Mansion at night and asked him to notice."

The dark light in Pei You's eyes raged, and the cold hostility was drowned in it: "Then I will use torture."

"My son!" Gu Fei knelt down.

There is no rush to do this kind of thing!Otherwise, the matter will fail, and people will hold on to the conversation!

"My lord, don't be in a hurry to do things in Beijing, and returning to Beijing in a hurry will not help!" Gu Fei knew what his family was worried about, and persuaded him, "My lord, do the things right now and gain a firm foothold in the court. What do you want to do, who can stop you?"

Pei You's eyes were gloomy, and he closed his eyes slowly. After a while, his breath became calmer, and his tightly pressed lips loosened: "Let Tu Bai leave Beijing and come to Jiangning as soon as possible. The case of Jiangning must be resolved quickly."

The screen kept flipping, and the trip to Jiangnan in the dream was not smooth, even if Tu Bai brought a group of well-trained secret guards over, it took until July to get things done.

And when he returned to Beijing, the first news he got was that the Prince of Ryukyu was visiting, he died suddenly on the spot with a glass of poisoned wine at the dust-cleaning banquet, and Wen Tingchun, the Minister of Honglu Temple, was held accountable and imprisoned, and died of illness in prison.

The carriage stopped suddenly at this moment, and Pei You suddenly opened his eyes.

The familiar severe headache came again.

The broken and complete pictures in the dream turned into sharp thorns, some disappeared without smoke after piercing through his mind, and some remained in his mind, as if they had become part of his memory.

There was a trace of bewilderment in Pei You's eyes.

What did he forget?

"Miss Wen, are you okay?"

The carriage had come to a complete stop, and Gu Fei's voice came from outside the carriage.

Pei You pushed open the car window, and when there was only a gap, he saw the slender Qianbi figure, squatting slightly on the ground, holding a four-year-old child in his arms, coaxing very gently: "I can't do it after I tell you." Running too fast, right? Fortunately, I pulled you back, otherwise you would be injured, and Daddy would be very sad."

The child's face turned pale with fright, but he still hooked her neck and said in a milky voice: "Then aren't you sad?"

She burst out laughing.

The sun fell into her slightly curved eyes again.
-
Wen Ning asked Wen Lan to make an appointment with Yan Li to go to Tianshan Pond to enjoy the lotus today, and wanted to get in touch with Yan Li again, and meet his four-year-old son by the way.

One is to see if the two of them really have eyes for each other, and the other is that the child will not lie. From the child, we can find out some of the true temperament of Mr. Yan.

I don't want Yan Li to be an ordinary person, but the four-year-old boy is a beautiful girl with a sweet mouth. When we met, he shyly tugged at her sleeve: "Sister, you are so good-looking."

After admiring the lotus, he dragged her to Yuntinglou for dinner.

It's just that Chang'an Avenue in the evening was quite noisy. Wen Lan and Yan Li walked behind, and the young master dragged her forward, and was accidentally hit by a passing carriage.

"Then aren't you sad?" Yan Chu asked her crisply while hugging her neck.

Wen Ning burst out laughing and pinched his face: "Of course I'm sad too."

After finishing speaking, he remembered the "Miss Wen" just now, and looked up, it was actually Gu Fei who got off the carriage.

Yan Li, who was behind, probably saw the movement in front, and just strode over: "Miss Wen, what's wrong? Are you all right?"

Wen Ning didn't bother to answer.When she saw Gu Fei, she subconsciously looked at the carriage behind.

The car window was half open, and Pei You was behind the window, his black clothes made his complexion extraordinarily fair.He was sitting upright, and she was half squatting down, her eyelids drooping slightly, and a pair of dark eyes fell on her body.

She turned her eyes and looked over, before he could see the color of his eyes clearly, he closed the window with a "snap" as if he had been stabbed by something.

"Gu Fei, go back home."
