Chapter 140 Backbone

Chapter 140 Having Backbone

Wei Yuan turned to look at Ning Yu, leaned forward and said, "On the way to the capital, I heard Yun Xing talk about a lot of things about the second master.

The second master must be extremely talented when he joins the Han University Scholars. From now on, it will be my blessing to be able to be by the second master's side."

Ning Yu hurriedly bowed and returned the courtesy, "Mr., I am overly complimentary. I am lucky to get to know you."

Seeing that Wei Yuan agreed, Ning Wei said, "Sir, you have traveled a long distance and are tired of traveling and traveling. It has been a very hard journey. Please settle down first and have a good rest."

From now on, the husband and the old lady will live in Mingyuan. Xingyun will stay and take care of the husband. Later, I will arrange for two girls to take care of the old lady."

After saying that, Ning Wei stood up and said, "Brother, let's go back and let the husband rest first."

Wei Yuan then stood up, hesitated, and asked: "Miss, how do you think we should arrange my mother's medical consultation?"

Ning Wei smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, the old lady has worked hard all the way. Let her take a rest first. When the old lady calms down, we can arrange for medical treatment."

Wei Yuan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm impatient, but the young lady is very thoughtful. I'll send the eldest lady and the second master off."

On the way back, Ning Yu asked: "Awei, how did you know that Mr. Wei's mother was sick? Also, do you know any miraculous doctor with superb medical skills? Why didn't I know?"

Ning Wei said nonsense: "I also learned about Mr. Wei's mother's illness by chance."

Ning Yu asked: "What kind of accidental method?"

When Ning Wei saw Ning Yu delving into the matter, she could only continue to talk nonsense. "On the Lantern Festival this year, didn't I bring jujube flowers and mulberry leaves to the lantern festival?"

After more than half a year, Ning Yu still didn't remember anything about the Lantern Festival. He only vaguely remembered that Ning Wei would go out for a walk on the Lantern Festival.

"Well, you met Mr. Wei that day?"

Ning Wei shook her head, "Is that so? My feet hurt from shopping that day, so we found a teahouse on the street in front of the Daxiangguo Temple to have tea and rest."

Ning Yu looked at Ning Wei, waiting for her to continue.

Ning Wei looked at Ning Yu who was staring at her closely. She was not flustered. She had thought about this rhetoric for a long time and practiced it many times in private.

"I chose a corner seat, and there were two people sitting at the table next to me, one with a Beijing accent and the other with a Qingzhou accent.

I heard about Mr. Wei's situation from their conversation. Later, I asked Prince Shi to inquire about Wei Yuan's situation.

Prince Shi said that Wei Yuan was a filial son and very capable."

Ning Wei was afraid that her brother would break the casserole and ask what was going on, so she hurriedly moved Shi Jingyang out.

Sure enough, when Ning Yu heard about the person Shi Jingyang was asking about, he stopped asking any more questions.

Ning Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, that person seems to be Ning Yuanwailang." Xu Yan's voice sounded.

"Where?" Ning Yu and Ning Wei asked at the same time.

Xu Yan said: "The entrance to Zuichun Tower on the right."

Ning Wei happened to be sitting on the right, raising her hand to gently lift a corner of the curtain.

When Ning Yu saw this, he raised his hand and opened the curtain further.

Ning Wei reminded: "Brother, be careful he finds out."

Ning Yu looked at Ning Guangyan, whose eyes were glued to the woman soliciting customers, and said, "Do you think he can spot us?"

After Ning Yu finished speaking, he felt that he shouldn't say this to Ning Wei, so he closed the curtains, sat back and leaned against the carriage, and said in a deep voice: "Stop looking, there's nothing interesting to see."

Ning Wei turned her head to look at Ning Yu, who had his eyes closed, and responded: "Oh, I got it."

Ning Wei had an idea in her mind. She returned to her house and went straight back to Fangfeiyuan. She pulled Hu Rui into the study, closed the door and asked, "Did you find the beauty I asked your husband to help my father find?"

Hu Rui didn't know why Ning Wei suddenly asked about this, and said with a smile: "You are so filial, how can I hold you back as a teacher?"

Ning Wei was overjoyed and asked urgently: "Found it? What kind of person? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Hu Rui said: "I found the person a few days ago. A lot of things have happened recently. I was afraid that the lady was not in the mood to talk about this, so I never said it."

Ning Wei nodded and asked: "What kind of person?"

The corners of Hu Rui's mouth turned upwards and he said: "This person is an actor from the Lelin Troupe. He is well versed in music, plays the pipa well, and is good at singing and dancing. He once performed at the Guangnan Elephant Shed in the south of the city."

After hearing this, Ning Wei murmured: "As an actor, his looks are good, he is proficient in music and is good at singing and dancing, and his talents are certainly good.

He's a showman, and his courage should be pretty good. Such a person shouldn't be short of money, so how could he be willing to do things for me?"

Hu Rui took a sip of tea and said, "Miss, don't worry. I'll just finish what I'm saying."

Ning Wei added tea to Hu Rui and said, "Okay, sir, please tell me."

Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei and then said: "This actor's name is Gu Lan. Although he is not a beautiful person, his appearance is also very good, especially those eyes, which are extremely charming and full of hope, making people intoxicated."

Speaking of this, Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei's eyes, which were bright and clear, as bright as stars, the eyelids moved slightly, and the long eyelashes trembled, like the flapping wings of a butterfly...

Ning Wei saw Hu Rui looking at him in a daze and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Hu Rui came to his senses and saw that Gu Lan, like the young lady, had intoxicating eyes.

Hu Rui shook his head and said: "It's nothing, Gu Lan is highly praised by Le Lin Ban and has spent a lot of effort on her.

The Guangnan Elephant Shed debuted this time as a small test to see how the guests react.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lan was unlucky. When she appeared on the stage, she met a group of dandies in the capital, led by the Second Master Shen of Suiyang House.

Second Master Shen took a fancy to Gu Lan and wanted to redeem her and bring her into his backyard.

This Second Master Shen was a well-known second generation ancestor in the capital circles. He did all kinds of evil because he had a noble concubine and aunt, and he was simply a tyrant in the capital.

The head of the Lelin class was kind-hearted and did not want Gu Lan to jump into the pit of fire and did not agree to redeem her.

If Mr. Shen fails to achieve his wish, how can he be willing to do so?

When Gu Lan started to get in the way, Le Linban certainly wouldn't sit still and tried to think of ways to clear the way for Gu Lan.

By the way, Second Master Shen and Zhao Yongqing were on good terms. In order to curry favor with Second Master Shen, Zhao Yongqing tried his best to make things difficult for Le Lin Ban.

The head of the Lelin class was crippled. The head of the Lelin class was also tough. Even if he was disabled, he did not hand over Gu Lan.

The Chiyang Gang also warned that if anyone used Gu Lan in teahouses, restaurants, or elephant sheds in the capital, they would be enemies of the Chiyang Gang and Wan Zhentian.

As a result, no teahouse or restaurant in the capital would dare to use Gulan anymore."

Ning Wei knitted her brows and said coldly: "It's Zhao Yongqing again, this man really deserves to die."

Hu Rui saw Ning Wei's face darken and knew that she hated Zhao Yongqing.

"No one dares to use Gu Lan. Gu Lan wants to be famous, which is even harder than reaching the sky. Let alone becoming famous, as an actor, without the opportunity to perform on stage, it will be difficult to even support himself.

The boss of Lelin class kept Gu Lan in the class to teach the junior brothers and sisters."

Ning Wei looked up at Hu Rui and said, "Gu Lan knows Second Master Shen's background and dares to disobey him. He is a man of integrity."

Hu Rui nodded, "That's why I want the lady to help her."

Ning Wei reacted very quickly and looked up at Hu Rui: "Do you want to use Prince Shi's hand to get rid of Second Master Shen?"

Hu Rui nodded, "This is a big deal. The lady will help her, right?"

Ning Wei glared at Hu Rui: "Sir, you also know that this matter is a bit big? Has he already agreed to Gu Lan?"

Hu Rui shook his head: "That's not true."

Ning Wei thought for a moment and said, "I'll meet this Gu Lan first."

Hu Rui nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

Ning Wei sighed and said, "What is this all about? I asked my husband to find me an actor. What do you think?"

Hu Rui smiled and said: "Gu Lan is indeed an actor."

Ning Wei said: "Sir, please invite Gu Lan out. I'll take a look at this person first."

Hu Rui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Qiao Yi to submit the post, and we'll make an appointment at Sanpinxuan on Qili Street. How about that?"

Ning Wei felt embarrassed thinking about what happened at noon, so she refused: "Change a place."

Hu Rui said: "Then go to Sanpinxuan in Yujie North."

Ning Wei said: "It's up to you to make arrangements for going out."

Hu Rui responded: "Okay!"

Hu Rui got up and walked out. He came back after a while and said to Ning Wei: "Miss, get ready, let's go."

Ning Wei put away the things on the desk and turned around and left the study.

He said to the jujube flowers and mulberry leaves in the yard: "You two tidy up and get ready to go out."

Sang Ye chased after me, "Miss, are you still going out? How will you arrange the celebrations in the evening?"

Ning Wei said: "Let's bring food back."

Sang Ye responded with a smile: "Okay! I understand."

After lighting a stick of incense, Ning Wei and Hu Rui still walked out of the back door. A car was waiting on the street not far from the back door, and the driver was Qiao Fei.

Ning Wei and Hu Rui went to Sanpinxuan in Yujie North, and the waiter welcomed Ning Wei into the hall.

Jiang Min stood behind the counter to settle accounts. He once again saw Ning Wei, who was dressed in pink. She was as beautiful as walking out of a painting. When he saw Hu Rui next to Ning Wei, his pupils closed and he knew that this woman was

The person the prince wants to protect.

Jiang Min put down the account in his hand and came out with a smile. "Miss Ning, are you here for tea? Do you want to sit in the lobby or in the private room?"

Ning Wei wanted to discuss things with others, but the lobby was too busy for conversation. So she said, "I want a private room."

Jiang Min leaned forward and said, "Miss Ning, please come down with me."

With that said, Jiang Min led Ning Wei and Hu Rui to the second floor. From the beginning to the end, Jiang Min didn't look at Hu Rui, as if they didn't know each other at all.

Jiang Min took Ning Wei to the Yinan Hall on the second floor.

Ning Wei said to Jiang Min: "Shopkeeper, bring me a pot of Longjing."

After saying that, Ning Wei looked at Hu Rui and asked, "Sir, do you know Gu Lan's preferences?"

Gu Lan said: "Gu Lan also likes Longjing."

Ning Wei nodded and looked at Jiang Min, "A pot of Longjing and some fruit."

Jiang Min bowed and stepped down.

When Jiang Min exited, Hu Rui stopped him and said, "Shopkeeper, a woman named Gu Lan will come over soon and ask someone to bring her here."

Jiang Min bowed down and closed the door behind him.

Jiang Min came out of the Yinan Hall, turned left and walked to the Mingyue Hall on the side. He knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door open and went in. He leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Rui accompanied Miss Ning to the teahouse."

Shi Jingyang turned to look at Jiang Min and asked, "Miss Ning?"

Didn’t you get a letter today? Why don’t you take a good rest at home?

Jiang Min leaned forward and said, "Yes, together with Hu Rui, we are in the Yinan Hall next to the Master."

Shi Jingyang nodded, "I understand, go down."

Jiang Min lowered his arms and bowed, exiting the Mingyue Hall.

After Jiang Min retreated, Shi Jingyang walked from the window to the soft couch and sat down, pricking up his ears to listen to what was going on next door.

"Miss, the tea you want, Longjing before the rain, mung bean cake, auspicious fruits, Qiqiao snacks, flowers bloom and wealth."

The waiter said as he put the tea and fruit orders on the table.

Ning Wei said: "Thank you very much!"

The waiter leaned forward and said, "The tea and fruit orders have been served. Please take your time, the young one is right outside the door. If you need anything, just call and he will be there immediately."

Ning Wei nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Hu Rui pushed the poured tea in front of Ning Wei and asked: "Miss, on the way here, you said that if things come true, you will open an elephant shed for Gu Lan. Are you telling the truth?"

Ning Wei picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "It can really be done. How difficult is it to open an elephant shed? Although I have never opened one before, it is not that difficult to think about. If others can do it, we can do it too."

Hu Rui said: "Isn't it difficult? For someone like me who only knows how to fight, I find this very difficult."

Ning Wei looked at Hu Rui and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world. Difficulty is just a feeling. Whether something is difficult or not depends on whether you can do it. Those who are difficult can't do it, and those who can do it are not difficult. This is the reason."

Hu Rui said: "The problem is that none of us know how to do it."

Ning Wei took a sip of tea and continued: "If you don't know how, just learn. Learn to learn. Once you learn, you will be able to do it."

Shi Jingyang, who was next door, frowned slightly after hearing this. Is this girl going to open an elephant shed?

After hearing Ning Wei's words, Hu Rui was stunned. She was a round older than Ning Wei, but the little girl was not as clear-eyed and could see clearly.

After getting along with her for a period of time, she finally figured out that the young lady, although soft and frail on the surface, was extremely firm and principled on the inside.

It was because of the young lady's temperament that she asked the young lady about Gu Lan.

Hu Rui said: "Okay, I will follow the lady's arrangements."

There was a knock on the door, and Ning Wei raised her voice and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open in response, and the waiter led a woman in a sky blue dress and veil.

Ning Wei and Hu Rui stood up. The waiter said: "Miss, Miss Gu Lan is here."

Ning Wei nodded and said, "I understand, please step back."

Gu Lan stood at the door and looked at Ning Wei and Hu Rui, stepped into the house, took off her veil and said to them, "Hello, I'm Gu Lan."

When Ning Wei saw that Gu Lan was calm and generous, she gave her two points in her heart.

He smiled and greeted: "Hello, Miss Gu. My name is Ning Wei. Please sit down."

While Ning Wei was sizing up Gu Lan, Gu Lan was also sizing up Ning Wei.

The moment Gu Lan saw Ning Wei, the first thing she looked at was Ning Wei's eyes. A person's joys, sorrows and hatreds can be revealed through the eyes.

On the way here, Gu Lan felt a little scared. She didn't see arrogance or contempt in Ning Wei's eyes, which made her feel a lot more comfortable.

Gu Lan sat down opposite Ning Wei and looked around the room without leaving a trace.

Hu Rui poured a cup of tea for Gu Lan, stretched out his hand and said: "We meet again, please drink tea."

Gu Lan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Rui."
