Shi Jingyang picked up his chopsticks, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked: "Awei, which dishes did you cook? Can you recommend them?"
That day, she said she could make cakes. He was already surprised because he didn't expect that she could also cook.
Ning Yu took over: "All the dishes on the table are cooked by Ah Wei. I suggest you try the steamed seabass first. The fish meat is delicate and delicious, then try the refreshing bamboo shoot tips, and then this braised shrimp in red oil."
, very flavorful.”
Shi Jingyang followed what Ning Yu said and tasted each dish one by one. Every time he tasted a dish, he couldn't help but praise Ning Wei. The more he praised, the more he regretted in his heart and regretted the years he missed.
"How's it going? I'm not exaggerating, am I? Ah Wei's cooking skills are truly unparalleled." Ning Yu couldn't hide his pride.
Shi Jingyang nodded. Just when he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Ning Yu turned to look at the door and said loudly: "Come in."
Changxing came in and said, "Sir, the second young lady wants to see you."
"Who? Ning He?" Ning Yu asked in surprise.
Ning Yu and Zhao had been at odds since Zhao came to cause trouble. After that, Ning He always avoided him when she saw him.
Today, he took the initiative to come to see me. Is this Xiang Zhuang's sword dance?
Ning Yu looked at Shi Jingyang meaningfully.
Shi Jingyang spread his hands towards him, showing an innocent expression.
Ning Yu turned to Changxing and said, "Please come in."
He wanted to see what Ning He wanted to do?
Ning Wei didn't want to see Ning He, so she put down her chopsticks and prepared to stand up, "Brother, Prince Shi, I've finished eating. You guys eat slowly, I'll go back first."
Ning Yu raised his hand and picked up a shrimp for Ning Wei, "A Wei ate too little, which is not good. Today's shrimp is very tasty, please eat more."
When Shi Jingyang saw Ning Yu picking up vegetables for Ning Wei, he also picked up a shrimp for Ning Wei, "Yingzhe said yes, Ah Wei eats too little, so eat more."
Ning Wei looked at the two of them and then at the bowl in front of her, knowing that she couldn't leave for a while.
All I could do was say thank you: "Thank you!"
Ning Wei picked up the chopsticks again, lowered her head and started eating.
Shi Jingyang saw Ning Wei finishing the shrimp in the bowl and gave her a handful of green vegetables, "Here, eat some green vegetables. A combination of meat and vegetables is good for your health."
Ning Wei smiled and thanked her again.
"You're welcome."
Ning Yu looked at Ning Wei, then at Shi Jingyang, his eyes darkened a little, and he lowered his head to eat.
When Ning He entered the door, all three of them lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty, Second Brother, Eldest Sister, are you already eating?" Ning He said.
Ning Wei raised her head and looked at the door, and saw Ning He wearing a peach blossom cloud skirt, pink dongzhu earrings, and a pink gemstone on her head.
I have to say that this peach pink dress makes Ning He look very fresh and eye-catching.
Ning Yu responded lukewarmly: "Second sister is here, is there something wrong?"
Ning He said with a smile: "In two days, the second brother will take the scientific examination. He'er asked the kitchen to make some body supplements and send them to the second brother. I don't want to be late, and the second brother has already started eating."
Ning Wei's eyes fell on Chuni next to Ning He, and she saw Chunni standing by with a food box.
Ning Wei sneered in her heart, would she kindly give her brother food to replenish his body? Even if she dared to give it to him, would his second brother dare to eat it?
After hearing this, Ning Yu said without any hint of gratitude, "No, Ah Wei will take care of my food."
Although Ning Yu didn't say it clearly, his meaning was clear. He didn't dare to eat the food Ning He sent him.
Ning He pretended not to understand and said with a smile: "He'er also has good intentions. If the second brother doesn't accept it, He'er will feel uncomfortable."
Ning Yu looked at Ning He with a half-smile but said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Compared with my own safety, I choose my own safety. Please forgive me, second sister."
Ning He never expected that Ning Yu would say such things in front of Shi Jingyang.
The mother doesn't want to see their brothers and sisters, and fights with them. These are all family scandals, and family scandals should not be made public. Doesn't Ning Yu know this?
He was deliberately trying to embarrass her!
Ning He was angry and embarrassed. He glanced at Shi Jingyang and felt relieved when he saw that Shi Jingyang lowered his head to pick the fish bones and didn't pay attention to what they were saying.
"It makes people sad when the second brother says this. He'er also means well. Since the second brother doesn't appreciate it, then forget it."
At this point, Ning He was rejected, and Ning Wei thought she would turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Ning He didn't leave. Instead, he took the food box from Chun Ni and came over, "Your Majesty is here, these dishes are just for the guests."
Now, Ning Yu couldn't refuse.
"Since it's for entertaining guests, please trouble Second Sister to put out the dishes."
Ning He opened the food box, took out a purple clay jar and opened the lid, "This is chicken soup, it tastes good, please give it a try."
Shi Jingyang refused without even raising his head: "No, I just drank chicken soup."
Ning He was not annoyed, and then took out other dishes from the food box and put them on the table, crystal elbow, crucian carp in sauce, braised pork with pickled vegetables, tube-shaped chicken, and assorted soy sauce plate.
The table was not big and could not accommodate such dishes. Ning He thought for a while and stacked the plates on top of the two plates. The table full of dishes was so spectacular.
Chuni cleverly brought the chair over and placed it opposite Ning Wei.
Ning He sat down and said to Shi Jingyang: "Master, try this crystal elbow. It's crystal clear and full of flavor. It's very good."
Shi Jingyang looked up at Ning He, put his bowl towards Ning Wei, and said politely, "Thank you, Miss Ning, please take it easy, I've already finished eating."
Ning He was picking up a crystal elbow and preparing to put it into Shi Jingyang's bowl. After hearing Shi Jingyang's words, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
In the end, Ning He had no choice but to put the elbow meat into his bowl.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Ning He picked up the bowl, lowered his head and ate the elbow meat.
Shi Jingyang lowered his head and checked the fish on the plate. After confirming that there were no fish bones in the fish, he pushed the small plate in front of Ning Wei and said, "Here, the fish A Wei likes has no bones, so feel free to eat it."
Shi Jingyang was picking fish bones for Ning Wei? Ning He looked at Shi Jingyang in astonishment, forgetting the movements of his hands, and the elbow meat he held fell back into the bowl.
Ning Wei never expected that Shi Jingyang would pick out fish bones for her, and was stunned. She looked up at Ning He and saw Ning He looking at her angrily.
Facing Ning He's jealous gaze, Ning Wei was speechless and complained about Shi Jingyang in her heart.
Ning Wei looked down at the fish on the plate. Where is the fish? This is obviously a hot potato.
It was the burning anger in Ning He's eyes.
Although she was not afraid of Ning He, she did not want to anger her during her time in Ning Mansion. It was best for her and her to be in a well rather than a river.
And Shi Jingyang's actions will undoubtedly annoy Ning He.
Ning Yu looked at Shi Jingyang, who was calm and calm, then at Ning He who wanted to tear Ning Wei apart and Ning Wei who was speechless.
He smiled and said, "You can't tell that Qing'an is very attentive and actually knows that Ah Wei likes to eat fish but finds it troublesome."
Ning Yu's words stunned the three people present.
The reason why Shi Jingyang knew that Ning Wei liked to eat fish but found it troublesome was because he heard her conversation with Feng Niang in his previous life, and he remembered it.
As a result, when he encountered fish to eat later, he would always pick out the fish bones.
Qingshan thought that he liked to eat fish, so he once removed the fish bones for him.
For this reason, he even punished Qingshan. Qingping asked him why he picked fish bones out since he didn't like to eat fish. He casually said that it was to practice patience.
It turned out that she was in his heart as early as that time...
Ning Wei was extremely shocked. She didn't know how Shi Jingyang knew about her problem.
In the past days, when she rarely ate with him, she almost never touched fish. He shouldn't know this.
After listening to Ning Yu's words, Ning He thought of Shi Jingyang in the teahouse with Ning Wei in his heart and eyes, and his heart suddenly became filled with jealousy.
Why is the person in Shi Jingyang's heart Ning Wei? If it were the eldest lady of Chengguo Palace, or a young lady from another family, she would recognize him, so why should it be Ning Wei?
Ning Yu's words made the three people present have their own thoughts.
Shi Jingyang was the first to come to his senses and said calmly: "It's not difficult to find out. When Ah Wei saw the fish, she clearly liked it in her eyes, but when she picked up the food, she hesitated and looked like it was troublesome."
Shi Jingyang spoke so seriously that Ning Wei doubted herself. Was she so obvious just now?
Ning Yu smiled and nodded, "Qing'an is right, Ah Wei is like this. Ah Wei, hurry up and eat. Don't let down Qing'an's kindness. He spent a long time picking the thorns for you."
Ning Wei looked at Ning Yu and winked at him, asking him not to talk nonsense. She felt that her brother said this on purpose to anger Ning He.
Ning Yu pretended not to see Ning Wei's eyes, but urged: "Ah Wei, hurry up and eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Ning Wei had no choice but to thank Shi Jingyang, "Thank you, Shi Shizi." She lowered her head and started eating.
Ning He was so angry that he had a toothache. Ning Yu looked at Ning He and said, "Second sister doesn't move her chopsticks. Is she done eating?"
Ning He came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No."
Ning Yu signaled: "Then eat quickly."
"Thank you, second brother." Ning He lowered his head and started eating.
Ning Yu raised his hand to pour tea. Chang Le saw this and hurried forward to help, pouring a cup of tea for Shi Jingyang and Ning Yu each.
"Yingzhe, I'll take you to Gongyuan the next morning." Shi Jingyang spoke to Ning Yu and picked up chopsticks to pick up food for Ning Wei.
As soon as Ning Wei finished eating the fish in the bowl, Shi Jingyang gave her another shrimp.
Ning Wei looked up at Shi Jingyang, wanting to say that she was full, but Shi Jingyang raised his chin and said, "Eat more."
Ning He stopped what he was doing, looked up, hummed, and said bluntly: "Sir, He'er knows that you and your second brother are brothers, so you love your eldest sister as a younger sister.
It's just that the eldest sister has not yet discussed the marriage, and the prince takes care of the eldest sister so personally, which gives the eldest sister a bad reputation.
For the sake of eldest sister’s reputation, it’s better to let eldest sister pick up the food herself. Don’t you think so?”
Ning He looked at Shi Jingyang and spoke extremely sincerely.
Shi Jingyang ignored Ning He and looked at Ning Wei. When he saw her sitting still, he said warmly: "Eat your food. You have to concentrate on eating."
After saying that, Shi Jingyang turned to look at Ning He, "Reputation is a matter between me and Ah Wei.
Miss Ning doesn't have to worry about this.
I heard that Yiyuan Drug Store is the dowry of your father-in-law, and the case of Yiyuan Drug Store’s Xiu Lane branch, as well as the case of Yiyuan Drug Store selling counterfeit medicines, should have results in the next two days.
Miss Ning Er has time to worry about other people's affairs, so why not worry more about her own affairs. What do you think? Miss Ning Er."
Ning Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this. No wonder the Zhao family was causing trouble for her these days. It turned out to be trouble.
Shi Jingyang's words successfully diverted Ning He's attention, "How did the prince know about this?
By the way, the eldest son is the eldest son of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the Queen's nephew. The eldest son must have some skills, right?
Can the Crown Prince help deal with this matter? He'er promises that as long as the Crown Prince is willing to lend a helping hand, my mother-in-law will definitely benefit from the Crown Prince." Ning He said.
Ning He knew that her mother had been busy working at the drug store recently, leaving early in the morning and coming back late every day. She was thinking so hard that she had lost weight.
"Oh, there are inevitable benefits? What benefits?" Shi Jingyang showed great interest. He sat forward, put his hands on the table, propped his head on his hands and looked at Ning He.
Ning He saw Shi Jingyang's expression and thought he was moved. He moved his chair so that he was a little closer to Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang moved his chair towards Ning Wei and said to Ning He, "I'm not used to being too close to others when I have something to say."
The obvious dislike made Ning He extremely embarrassed. For the sake of his family's shop, Ning He didn't care much. "As for the benefits? If the prince has any request, you can just ask for it."
Shi Jingyang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ning He and asked, "What conditions can be offered?"
Ning He nodded: "Of course."
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "I don't believe it. Miss Ning Er's words are inconsistent. If your father can meet all the conditions, wouldn't he have the ability to see the sky?
Since you have the ability to see everything, why do you still need me to intervene?
If Yiyuan Pharmacy can't handle this issue well, how can it meet my conditions?"
Ning He said: "To be honest, the matter at the drug store is not a big deal, as the prince said.
My mother-in-law asked a master to calculate her fortune for this year. Our family is experiencing Tai Sui this year.
I don’t know which god I bumped into before falling into the passive situation I am in now.
If the prince can help, he is a great benefactor to our family. As long as it is the prince's request, we will try our best to do it.
Prince, you and your second brother are on good terms, and for the sake of your second brother, can you help us?"
Ning Yu stopped her and said, "Second sister, please beg Qingan. That's your business. Don't take me with you."
Ning He turned to look at Ning Yu, "Second brother, I can't write two words of Ning in one sentence. We live under the same roof. If the family is in trouble, the family should unite as one and overcome the difficulties together."
Ning Yu smiled and said: "Second sister, I'm afraid you have forgotten that Yiyuan Pharmacy's surname is Zhao, and I don't believe in Ning. It is not the Ning family's business, so why should I contribute? My leg was shot by the Zhao family."
Ning He was annoyed and said: "Second brother, this matter has been in the past for a long time. Isn't your leg already healed? Why are you still mentioning it?"
Ning Wei put down her chopsticks and interrupted: "I don't agree with what the second sister said.
Who said that the second brother should stop mentioning this matter after his leg is healed?
What’s the point of this? You’ll gain wisdom after suffering, shouldn’t you remember the pain before, and then take it as a warning and stay away from the person who hurt him?”
