Hu Rui said: "You and Zaohua sit in the back car, Qiuniang and Qingzhu come over and sit in the car with me and the lady.
Ning Wei instantly understood Hu Rui's intention. She wanted to see the performance of Qiuniang and others, and take the opportunity to help her train her servants.
Ning Wei got on the car first, followed closely by Hu Rui, who got up and sat next to Ning Wei.
After Qingzhu and Qiuniang got in the car, they sat on the low couches on the left and right sides.
"Xu Yan, let's go." Seeing Qingzhu and Qiuniang sitting down, Hu Rui ordered Xu Yan to set off.
The car left Ning Mansion and headed towards Jingzhao Mansion.
Last night, Ning Wei tossed and turned in bed before falling asleep in the middle of the night. When she sat down now, she just wanted to close her eyes and rest her mind.
Ning Wei said to Hu Rui: "I'm going to take a nap. Call me when you get there."
Qingzhu saw that Ning Wei's head was leaning against the wooden board of the carriage and it was very uncomfortable when the carriage was shaking, so he asked: "Miss, is there a pillow in the dark room? It will be more comfortable to sleep on it with a pillow."
Hu Rui moved his legs to the side and said, "Open it and take a look."
Qingzhu opened the secret compartment and looked inside, "There is one." As he said this, Qingzhu took out the pillow, hunched over and stuffed it behind Ning Wei.
Ning Wei felt much more comfortable, "Well, that's good. Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Miss. It's your duty to take care of Miss." Qingzhu sat back down.
Ning Wei closed her eyes and rested her mind.
Hu Rui looked at Qingzhu and asked, "I see you are a careful person. Whose house did you work for before?"
Qingzhu's face was a little pale, he leaned over and said nervously: "Sir, my servant and Hui Yi were serving Aunt Liu at the Zhao Mansion in Qinglian Lane.
My young lady, after the death of Aunt Liu, the slave girl and Hui Yi were demoted to the rank of rough servant girl and worked as a washerwoman in the mansion, until a few days ago, Grandma Fang took the slave girl and the slave girl to Yahang."
Hearing about the Zhao residence in Qinglian Lane, Ning Wei opened her eyes and looked at Qingzhu, sat up straight and asked: "Aunt Liu? Zhao Yongqing's aunt? Is Aunt Liu your lady?"
Qingzhu lowered his head nervously, his body trembling slightly. Annoyed that he had exposed his mouth, he leaned forward and said, "Exactly, after my young lady was carried into the Zhao Mansion, my servant and Hui Yi followed her into the Zhao Mansion."
Ning Wei and Hu Rui looked at each other quickly, and Hu Rui asked: "Aunt Liu is dead?"
Qingzhu nodded with tears in his eyes and choked with sobs: "After Uncle Zhao's accident, Aunt Liu was imprisoned in the woodshed.
Mrs. Huang wrongly accused Aunt Liu and said that Uncle Zhao was injured by Aunt Liu, so she beat Aunt Liu with wounds all over her body.
Later, after Uncle Zhao's injury healed, he took out his grievances on Aunt Liu and tried to torture Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu couldn't stand Uncle Zhao's torture and crashed to death in the house."
Hu Rui asked: "How did Aunt Liu enter the Zhao mansion? How did Zhao Yongqing torture Aunt Liu?"
Qingzhu raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Sir, my original employer was also a merchant family and opened a shoe store in the east of the city, selling all kinds of shoes.
The owner's business is not very big, but the family is living a relatively prosperous life.
Once upon a time, Miss... No, Aunt Liu"
Qingzhu slipped his tongue and looked up at Ning Wei anxiously.
Ning Wei said: "It doesn't matter, you go on.
Qingzhu bowed and thanked her, then continued: "The young lady went to the shop to look for the master, but was seen by Uncle Zhao.
When Uncle Zhao saw that the young lady was good-looking, he wanted to take the young lady as his own.
So someone came to the house and said that he wanted to take the young lady as his concubine.
The master and his wife were unwilling to let their daughter be a concubine, so they refused to do so to Uncle Zhao.
As a result, Uncle Zhao first set up a trap to destroy his old employer's business and cut off the family's livelihood, and then had someone beat him up. He is still lying in bed unable to move.
Uncle Zhao came to the house in person and used the old man to threaten the young lady. The young lady had no choice but to agree to become a concubine in Zhao's house.
That night, Uncle Zhao was injured in Aunt Liu's house.
After Uncle Zhao recovered from his injury, whenever he was in a bad mood, he would vent his anger on Aunt Liu.
Uncle Zhao gnawed at the young lady's body and stabbed Aunt Liu's private parts with his hands or hard objects."
Thinking of the scarred Aunt Liu, Qingzhu couldn't help but shudder.
"Aunt Liu's life was worse than death. One day, Uncle Zhao came to Aunt Liu's house again.
Before Uncle Zhao took action, my aunt bumped into the square table in the room and was killed on the spot."
How tragic it was to hit a square table with your head?
Zhao Yongqing deserves to die!
Ning Wei felt her chest tightening and short of breath. She closed her eyes to steady her mind before calming down.
After a moment, he said softly: "Don't be sad. Miss Liu's death is also a relief. Everything has passed. From now on, if you do good things, I will not treat you badly."
Qingzhu bowed with great gratitude and said, "Thank you, Miss."
Ning Wei leaned back and said, "Miss Liu was once your master.
I will go to Baoen Temple with Hui Yi to perform a ritual ceremony for Miss Liu another day. I hope she will be well there."
Qingzhu thanked her with tears in her eyes, "Yes, thank you very much, Miss."
Next, Ning Wei couldn't sleep anymore, and her heart was full of hatred for Zhao Yongqing.
The carriage stopped and Xu Yan said: "Miss, we're here."
Qiuniang and Qingzhu got out of the car first. Hu Rui saw that Ning Wei looked bad and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Ning Wei shook her head, "It's okay! Let's go, get off the car!"
With that said, Ning Wei stood up, bent down and got out of the car.
Hu Rui followed Ning Wei.
Suddenly, Ning Wei stopped and turned to look at Hu Rui, "Sir, kill Zhao Yongqing."
Hu Rui was not surprised at all, but was a little happy. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll deal with it tonight."
Ning Wei nodded and turned around to get out of the car.
"Miss, Qingshan is here." Xu Yan saw Qingshan and turned to report to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei said to Xu Yan: "I know, park the car and come over to have breakfast together."
Qingshan approached, leaned towards Ning Wei and said, "Miss Ning, we have booked a private room, please come with me."
Zaohua murmured in a low voice: "Didn't the lady invite us to have breakfast?"
Sang Ye tugged at Zaohua's clothes, and Zaohua bowed her head and shut up.
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Okay, could you please lead the way."
Qingshan led the way, and the group went to the second floor and passed the long queue.
Qingshan explained: "Huixianlou is one of the few big restaurants that sell breakfast. Their business has always been very good. If you don't book in advance, it's hard not to queue up."
Zaohua scratched her tongue and murmured in a low voice: "There are so many rich people, five taels of silver each, and there are so many people!"
Hu Rui glanced sideways at Zaohua and said, "You girl really can't stand it. What's the purpose of making money?"
Zaohua thought Hu Rui was asking her, so she turned to look at Hu Rui and said, "Isn't the purpose of making money to make yourself rich?"
Hu Rui was amused by Zaohua, and then asked: "Then why do you have money? Don't you want to eat better, dress better, and live better?"
Zaohua shook her head and replied: "My food, clothes and clothes are all arranged by the lady."
Hu Rui raised her hand and patted her forehead. She was wrong. She shouldn't have discussed this topic with a maid.
"Oh, I forgot, what is your purpose of making money?" Hu Rui asked.
Zaohua blurted out: "Look!"
Sang Ye took over the words, "She, the purpose of making money is to count money. Before going to bed every night, Zaohua must count her money, then put the money under the pillow, and touch it with her hands before she can sleep.
With."
Zaohua turned her head and glared at Mulberry Leaf, and said in a deep voice: "You girl, don't you understand that wealth should not be revealed?"
Hu Rui couldn't help but laugh, "Is your scrap of silver called wealth?"
Zaohua came over unconvinced, "Sir, what you said is wrong. Why can't broken silver be called wealth?"
Hu Rui said quickly: "I was wrong. Broken silver is also called wealth. This girl Zaohua likes counting money so much. It's a pity that the lady doesn't transfer her to the accounting room."
Ning Wei's heart moved and she said, "This is a good idea."
Several people chatted and laughed as they went up to the second floor. Qingshan took them to the door of a private room and stopped. "Miss Ning, please."
Ning Wei pushed the door open and saw Shi Jingyang standing sideways in the room, looking towards the door with a smile.
"Coming?" Shi Jingyang greeted Ning Wei first.
Outside the door, Zaohua was about to follow Ning Wei into the house, but was stopped by Qingshan.
Hu Rui understood and took Zaohua to the private room opposite. "Young lady, we don't need our service here. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Zaohua looked back at the closed door, "But..."
"Stop it, let's go have breakfast and then watch the fun."
In the room, Ning Weigang just sat down, and Qingshan, Qingyun, and Qingping took turns bringing food to the room.
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei who was washing his hands with a warm handkerchief and said, "What do you want to eat? There are soup dumplings, crystal dumplings, rice crackers, crab roe dumplings, chicken feet, and shrimp dumplings. How about trying the same?"
Ning Wei looked at the table full of breakfast and was dazzled. He followed Shi Jingyang's suggestion and nodded: "Okay!"
Shi Jingyang stood up, first put a soup dumpling in the small bowl in front of Ning Wei, and then put a tiger skin chicken feet and a shrimp dumpling for her on the plate next to her."
Seeing Shi Jingyang busy for herself, Ning Wei hurriedly said: "Shizi, you can eat too, I can do it myself. You are so busy, it makes me very scared."
While serving Ning Wei, Shi Jingyang said: "It doesn't matter, you will get used to it slowly and you will get used to it. Compared with you cooking and making noodles for me, what I do is simply insignificant, so you don't have to panic."
Shi Jingyang brought a plate of side dishes to Ning Wei, looked at Ning Wei and said, "Besides, there are only two of us in the room, so you don't have to feel uncomfortable."
Ning Wei met Shi Jingyang's gaze and felt her eyes burning. She lowered her head in panic, "It's up to you. I'm hungry. I'll eat first."
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei who was blushing, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said in a good mood: "Eat quickly when you are hungry."
Ning Wei lowered her head and ate a soup dumpling, and her pounding heart calmed down. She looked up and saw that Shi Jingyang was still serving her dishes, and the plates in front of her were piled up like a mountain.
Ning Wei said hurriedly: "Prince Shi, please stop being busy. It's too much. I can't eat so much."
Shi Jingyang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, eat slowly. If you can't finish it, you'll still have me."
This doesn't sound right, it's very ambiguous.
Ning Wei's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to beat wildly again.
Ning Wei raised her head and secretly glanced at Shi Jingyang, who lowered his head to eat as if nothing had happened.
Ning Wei despised herself for being too sentimental, and lowered her head to eat breakfast attentively.
For the rest of the day, Ning Wei stayed silent and focused on breakfast.
Shi Jingyang saw Ning Wei put down his chopsticks and put the remaining crystal bag and hemp ball in front of Ning Wei into his bowl.
Looking up to see Ning Wei looking at him in surprise, Shi Jingyang explained: "Every grain of hard work must not be wasted."
Ning Wei thought about it, and since she didn't eat it directly from a plate, she felt relieved.
Shi Jingyang had breakfast and rinsed his mouth with tea. He looked at the hourglass on the cupboard and said, "It's still early. Should we sit here or go for a walk?"
Ning Wei looked at Shi Jingyang and asked, "Shi Shizi went out with his hat on?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "No! What's wrong? My face is too pretty?"
Shi Jingyang pinched his chin as he spoke.
Ning Wei took the words with a smile, "So Prince Shi knows about it! I'm afraid of attracting other people's attention when I go shopping with Prince Shi in a ostentatious way."
Shi Jingyang smiled and asked, "Isn't this good?"
Ning Wei replied: "It's not bad, it's just that I don't like it. I don't like others paying too much attention to me. Other people's eyes make me uncomfortable."
Shi Jingyang walked to the small table in front of the window, "Then let's drink tea and talk here."
Ning Wei nodded, walked over and sat across from Shi Jingyang, and Shi Jingyang called out.
Qingshan came in in response.
Shi Jingyang ordered: "Bring on the pot of tea!"
Qingshan bowed and left the room. After a while, Qingshan came in with tea.
Shi Jingyang then ordered: "Go and inquire and see if the notice is posted at the Yamen?"
Qingshan bowed in agreement, took two steps back, turned around and left the house.
Shi Jingyang poured a cup of tea for Ning Wei. Ning Wei bowed and thanked him.
Shi Jingyang smiled and said: "Ah Wei, there is no need to be so polite between us. I heard that Mr. Wei was looking for a warehouse at Dongshui Wharf, but he never found a suitable one."
Shi Jingyang noticed Ning Wei's discomfort and took the initiative to change the topic.
Sure enough, Ning Wei listened and instantly changed her attention.
This matter is what worries her the most right now. Seeing that the food from Jiangnan is about to arrive, the warehouse here has not been finalized.
Ning Wei said worriedly: "Yes, I have searched several places, but I am not very satisfied. Seeing that the food from Jiangnan is about to arrive."
When Ning Wei said this, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Shi Jingyang, "How did Prince Shi know that Mr. Wei was looking for a warehouse? Did Dr. Hu tell you?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Yes, Mr. Wei and Dr. Hu talked about this while drinking and chatting. He asked Dr. Hu if he had any acquaintances at Dongshui Wharf?"
Ning Wei smiled and said, "These two people really hit it off."
Shi Jingyang asked: "In the last life, they were very close to each other?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, it's not them two, it's the three of them."
"Three of them, who else is there?" Shi Jingyang asked.
Ning Wei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "And Hu Rui."
Shi Jingyang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I never thought that Hu Rui and the two of them could talk about the same thing.
By the way, I have a five-story house at Dongshui Wharf. It is unused and useless. You can use it first."
How can Ning Wei use his house? He shook his head and said: "No need..."
Shi Jingyang didn't wait for Ning Wei to finish her words before interrupting her, "My house is idle even if it's idle. If you feel embarrassed to use it in vain, I'll rent it to you and charge you rent every month. It's just the right time for me to use it."
