The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister
Chapter 104: Call me again, my husband, come and listen?
Chapter 104 Another call to my husband to listen?
"Miss Wen is still in the mood to look at jewelry here. The entire Wen family is in dire straits. You don't know it?"
Zhao Xizhi's shrill voice rang in his ears with gloating.
Wen Ning looked at the lifelike butterfly hairpin under her eyes, her eyes didn't move, she only rested for a while, blinked her eyelids, and said lazily: "Really?"
Seeing her unsalty look, Zhao Xizhi became even angrier: "Poor Lord Wen treats you like a jewel, I heard that your dowry went to most of his wealth, and you are running a winery in private, and you are bold and reckless. Private pocket, is it also to save more dowry for you?"
Linglan on the side wanted to step forward, but Wen Ning silently clasped her wrist.
She was half leaning against the counter where all kinds of jewelry were displayed, still unable to see any fluctuations in her expression, she stared at the butterfly and said slowly: "Miss Zhao knows a lot."
"You think I'm you? Is it comfortable to be a canary in the Duke's mansion?" Zhao Xizhi stared at her face that didn't seem to care much, wishing to find the most vicious words in her mind, "Canary It's a canary, a plaything is a plaything, do you think the Eldest Son really loves you? If he really loves you, he won't let your father be suspended from his job without making a sound, and won't let your two elder brothers run around without being indifferent. Wake up from your sweet dreams!"
Wen Ning smiled softly.
If it wasn't for Zhao Xizhi's still being so stupid, with such rhetoric, she would have suspected that she was also reborn.
"Canary", "plaything", aren't they her favorite words to stab her in her previous life?
"If I didn't really like it, I wouldn't have hired three matchmakers and six people, carried a big sedan chair eight times, and the bright matchmaker is just getting married. Miss Zhao?" Wen Ning clasped Linglan tightly with one hand, not allowing her to speak, and looked at her lightly. She glanced at Zhao Xizhi, and then lightly tapped the butterfly hairpin with the other hand, "Shopkeeper, haven't you found your finger yet? Help me wrap up this hairpin."
"Come, come, madam has been waiting for a long time!"
Zhao Xizhi watched Wen Ning take the hairpin she had been looking at for more than a month without blinking her eyelids, and before leaving, she stepped back and reminded with a gentle "kind heart":
"By the way, Ms. Zhao, next time we meet, remember to call me 'Mrs. Pei'. My husband is not very good-tempered, and he is very mean. If it is like last time, I want Ms. Zhao to give up the many jewels and write a letter in person. Come to make amends, I also can't bear it."
Zhao Xizhi froze for a moment.
Was it Shizi Pei who vented his anger on her last time?
How can it be?
Impossible Impossible!
Zhao Xizhi stomped her feet vigorously a few times, wishing she could smash the store in front of her!
Wen Ning on the other end stepped out of Zhufang Pavilion, the smile on his face sank, and he stopped walking in the street, and coldly ordered "Go back to the house", and got into the carriage.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Linglan hurriedly said: "Girl, what's going on? It's only been a few days, why do you suddenly say that the master is making money for his own money? Has our winery been found out? But it's you and The second son's business has nothing to do with the master!"
"Linglan." Wen Ning patted the back of her hand, "Don't panic, let me think about it."
Actually, when Zhao Xizhi said it just now, she had already thought about it.
Those who can be regarded as "fake public aid to enrich their own pockets" and have a relationship with the winery are probably the ones who used the wine from their own winery at the dust-cleaning banquet before, and were found out.
Da Yin expressly prohibits officials from engaging in business. If, as Zhao Xizhi said, the distillery is under the name of Wen Tingchun, then it is not a suspension, but a direct questioning of the crime.
"Linglan, have you heard of anything happening in court recently?" Wen Ning asked Linglan after a few moments of thought.
Linglan thought for a while, then shook her head: "The servants of the Duke's Mansion are really tight-lipped, I still haven't gotten to know them well..."
Seeing that Wen Ning was silent, Linglan said again: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely use both kindness and power. I should pretend to be cute, pretend to be cute, and I should pretend to be stupid to pretend to be stupid, so as to win over those nuns, we will be together in our house soon." It's no different!"
Wen Ning burst out laughing "puchi" at these words, and twisted her ear: "Do you still look like a big maid?"
Linglan stuck out her tongue: "I really think I didn't do well..."
Just like what Zhao Xizhi said, she didn't know anything while staying in the Duke's mansion.
"I can't blame you." Wen Ning snorted coldly, "Go back later, you go make a bowl of soup."
"Soup? For the Duke?"
"No, it's for your uncle."
Linglan was about to show joy when she saw Wen Ning snort again, as if there were knives hidden in her eyes.
Wen Ning might have knives hidden in her eyes, and she wished Linglan could just add a handful of arsenic to the soup and forget about it.
Dog man!
She knew that he would not let her be an idle "Mrs. Shizi" so easily, and return her so much money every year.
How many days have you been married? Take her out to block the knife! -
As soon as Pei You was on duty, Gu Fei told him about Wen Ning's going out today.
"It seems that I met the girl from the Zhao family. When I left, my wife looked very unhappy."
Gu Fei originally wanted to add a sentence, "I don't know if I have suffered some kind of loss from Miss Zhao", but he took a look at the unmoving face of his eldest son, and shut up again.
He couldn't read again.
It took so much effort to marry the man back in a hurry, counting fingers, except for the first night of the wedding, the second night the prince did not return in the Ministry of Industry, and the third night knelt in the ancestral hall all night, after that...
Sleeping in the study?
Gu Fei scratched his head and helped Pei You open the curtain.
"Did you go to see her two brothers?" Pei You asked as he got into the carriage.
Gu Fei shook his head: "No. I ordered people to go back to the house directly. It seems that I even cooked the kitchen myself..."
Pei You raised his eyebrows slightly.
If you don't play cards according to common sense, there must be demons in abnormalities.
"Leave a way for Qinghui Hall tonight." Sitting down, Pei You said in a low voice.
Gu Fei still bowed and pulled the curtain, a little puzzled.
A few days ago, Tubai secretly checked the servants of the Duke's Mansion. There were quite a few people from all walks of life, including the Qinghui Hall. The servants could count on five fingers, and they were all his own people, so the prince was not in a hurry to deal with it. those people.
But why deliberately let those people approach...
Pei You slowly took a roll of books on the carriage, and tugged at the corners of her lips: "Someone must bring something back to the business."
-
Wen Ning patiently waited until Pei You had finished dinner in the front yard and returned to the study before going to the small kitchen to get soup.
Before leaving, I grabbed another handful of chili powder and stuffed it inside.
I dare not use arsenic, but everything else is fine!
Gu Fei didn't seem to be surprised to see her at all. After saluting, he backed away a few steps and looked up at the moon in the sky.
Raccoons of the same feather.
Wen Ning glared at him before walking into the study with the soup.
This was the first time Wen Ning entered Pei You's study in her life, and she took a subconscious look when she entered.
She is not as lonely as she was in her previous life, and there are still a lot of books, but there are a few paintings on the wall, and two pots of flowers are placed on the desk case and coffee table, which adds a lot of vitality to the study.
Pei You is not such an interesting person.
It is probably written by his loyal servant who always smiles, Wang Qinsheng.
Wen Ning went over with the soup, and saw Pei You standing in front of the table, tall and tall, with a narrow waist and slightly bent, waving a piece of paper.
Looking up from a distance, he was actually painting.
The number one scholar is good at poetry and painting, but she has only seen a few of his old works in her previous life, and she has never seen him with such leisure and elegance.
Ah.
"Master Pei is in a good mood." Wen Ning put the food box on the table in a calm manner.
Pei You seemed to realize that Wen Ning came in, raised his eyes, and his dark eyes rolled on her face, then landed on the food box, raised his eyebrows and said, "How can Pei be in the mood to marry such a good wife?" Reason for displeasure?"
Wen Ning snorted silently, took out the soup cup from the food box, and put it on the table with a muffled sound.
"Then Mr. Pei will drink up this soup soon. Your good wife has spent the whole afternoon thinking about it."
Pei You lowered his eyebrows to see the fire hidden in Wen Ning's eyes, hiding his expression.
The red lips were pursed slightly, the brows were slightly raised, and there was still a hint of coldness at the end of the eyes, but she was not quite coquettish.
But he is not stupid.
"Ma'am, it's hard work, but it's a pity that my husband just had dinner..." Pei You's eyes were fixed on Wen Ning's face, with a slight smile on his lips, and his tone suddenly became flat, "It's just white".
Tu Bai jumped down from the beam of the house and waited silently.
Pei You knocked on the soup cup: "Madam rewarded you, take it."
Wen Ning: "..."
Tu Bai couldn't believe it.
"You and Gu Fei can use it together." Pei You said again.
Of course the food in the Duke’s Mansion is not bad, but this soup is given to the son by the wife who has worked hard all afternoon! Their young master is so precious to his wife, he actually rewarded them, in other words...
"Master Xie! Madam Xie!" Tu Bai held the soup cup gratefully, and left excitedly.
Wen Ning: "..."
"Okay, there's no one else around." Pei You put down his painting brush, sat on the chair behind the table, stroked the cuffs he just rolled up, looked up at Wen Ning and said, "Miss Wen has something to say. Want to tell me?"
Wen Ning was still wondering how much chili powder was put in that bowl of soup, and was stunned for a moment.
When I first came here, I was full of anger, but after being interrupted like this, I was in a mess.
That's all, maybe... she can communicate with Pei You in another way?
In her previous life, she had quarreled with him so much, but she didn't get any benefits from him. Instead, she put on a show in front of him. For example, at the bottom of the cliff, she pretended to be pitiful and said that fox fur was so expensive, but Pei You really gave it to him. I gave her two thousand taels of silver.
Maybe he is also a stickler.
With a turn of her mind, the coldness at the end of Wen Ning's eyes dissipated, replaced by a sly smile.
"I went to Zhufang Pavilion today, and I saw this warm and white one, which matches my lord quite well." Wen Ning took out the brocade box in her sleeve and handed it to Pei You, "Are you happy to see it, my lord?"
Pei You raised her eyebrows in surprise, glanced at the smile at the end of her eyebrows, and took the brocade box.
Open it and see a warm white jade wrench lying inside.
Wen Ning saw that his eyelids twitched visibly to the naked eye, but she couldn't tell if he liked it, but she directly took out the wrench and clasped it on her thumb.
This finger is not cheaper than that butterfly hairpin, so I shouldn't dislike it.
Wen Ning also softened her tone: "I heard some gossip in Zhufang Pavilion today. Why don't you tell me, what happened in the court recently? Is there something wrong with my Wenfu?"
Outside the house, Tu Bai and Gu Fei divided a cup of soup into two equal parts very fairly.
Both of them were a bit reluctant.
It's all about love between newlyweds!
Tu Bai: "You drink first."
Gu Fei: "You drink first."
Bai Bai glanced at Gu Fei, dawdling, not manly at all, and took a big gulp when he lifted his bowl.
The night was already dark, and the two of them were far away from the study room. Gu Fei couldn't see Tu Bai's face clearly at this time, but felt that he didn't even breathe after he went down in one gulp.
"tasty?"
Tu Bai: "...good...cough...delicious..."
Is it so delicious? I was so excited that my voice was hoarse!
Gu Fei no longer hesitated, raised his head and poured the whole bowl of soup into it.
In the room, after Wen Ning finished asking that sentence, she vaguely heard a violent cough, which disappeared after a while, and I don't know if it was an illusion.
And Pei You kept playing with the wrench on his thumb, or rubbed or twirled it, but didn't answer her.
Just when Wen Ning suspected that there was no way out, and that what Pei You didn't want her to know, like the big "Nothing", was that Ru would never tell her anyway, Pei You suddenly raised her head.
The voice was slightly hoarse: "Want to know?"
Wen Ning nodded of course.
Pei You waved at her.
Wen Ning walked over without hesitation, half squatted, put on the armrest of the chair, and got closer to him.
Originally thought that he was going to whisper something to her, but before she raised her head, her chin was picked up by two fingers.
Close at hand, is a pair of black eyes with dark streams of light: "Call me again, my husband, come and listen?"
It seems that the recent list results are good, add an update, thank you for your support, okay~
In addition, I finally saw a little cutie guessing Miss Youyou's life experience. I think this should be a clear card? Ha ha
