Ning Wei was amused by Shi Jingyang's words and said, "Is Shizi the one who needs that little money?"
When Shi Jingyang saw Ning Wei smile, he knew that she had accepted it in her heart, and he felt relieved. He was really afraid that she would be stubborn.
Shi Jingyang smiled and said, "How can you think you have too much money?"
Ning Wei smiled, bowed and said, "It's hard to refuse such kindness, so I'll accept it. Thank you!"
Went out to have breakfast and solved the urgent need at the moment.
Ning Wei was in a good mood and raised her tea cup towards Shi Jingyang, "Thank you, Shizi, for helping me out again. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine to express my gratitude!"
Shi Jingyang smiled, picked up the cup and clinked it with the cup in Ning Wei's hand, and said: "I drank this cup of tea! As for thanking you, please cook me more dishes in the future! I am a pragmatic person and prefer
Affordable."
You have to cook for yourself anyway, it’s just a matter of having multiple pairs of chopsticks and multiple bowls, so why is this so difficult?
Ning Wei readily agreed, "Okay!"
The smile in Shi Jingyang's eyes deepened a little, and he continued: "In the future, Ah Wei will find a way to make money, please take care of me more often."
Ning Wei just thought what Shi Jingyang said was a joke and didn't take it seriously. She followed his words and responded: "Okay!"
The two chatted for a while, and then there was a knock on the door.
Shi Jingyang turned to look at the door and said loudly: "Come in."
Qingshan opened the door and came in, leaned forward and said: "Sir, the notice over at the Yamen has been posted.
At three quarters at noon, Huang Hengyuan asked for help at the entrance of Yuanmen vegetable market. Many people saw the notice and went to Yuanmen to watch the excitement. Do you want to go over and have a look? "
Shi Jingyang did not say anything back to Qingshan, but turned to look at Ning Wei and asked, "A Wei, are you going?"
Ning Wei just wanted to know the result, and didn't want to see the bloody scene. She shook her head and said, "I won't go. My brother will have his scientific examination tomorrow. I have to go back and prepare for my brother's scientific examination."
Shi Jingyang didn't force himself and followed Ning Wei's wishes, saying, "Okay, I'll take you to the car. I'll go see Yingzhe later."
This case eventually turned into a contest between the imperial concubine's family and the prince's family. He had to go over and watch and see Huang Hengyuan's head fall to the ground with his own eyes.
After the matter was over, he had to go to the East Palace to report to the prince.
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince Shi. If Prince Shi has anything to do, just go and get busy. I'll be with you, brother."
After saying that, Ning Wei stood up and prepared to walk out.
Shi Jingyang asked: "Go back now?"
Seeing Ning Wei getting up without any hesitation, Shi Jingyang felt a little uncomfortable.
Ning Wei was confused by Shi Jingyang's words. Didn't they all say he would send her to the car?
Ning Wei smiled and said: "After breakfast, Xin'er also asked about it, it's time to go back."
Shi Jingyang said no more and stood up, "Okay, I'll see you off."
Ning Wei thanked him and suddenly thought about the house at Dongshui Wharf, and said to Shi Jingyang: "As for renting the house, I will draw up a contract later and send it to Shi Shizi.
If Prince Shi has no objection after reading it, then we will sign the contract. What do you think?"
Shi Jingyang wanted to say no.
Ning Wei was the first to say: "In the business world, brothers should settle accounts clearly. If you have anything to say, it's better to say it upfront to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."
When it comes to buying and selling, Ning Wei immediately talks to Shi Jingyang from a business perspective, one is one, and the other is two.
Shi Jingyang burst out laughing after hearing this. He didn't refute anymore and nodded in agreement, "Okay, do as A Wei said."
Ning Wei thanked her again.
Shi Jingyang pursed his lips and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the car."
Ning Wei nodded, and the two of them walked out the door one after the other.
After leaving the door, Ning Wei saw Sang Ye and Qing Zhu waiting outside the door. She asked, "Where are Sir, Zaohua and the others? Haven't they eaten yet?"
Mulberry bent her knees and replied: "Back to Miss, Zaohua is full and feels uncomfortable.
The husband asked her to go to the car to rest first, while Qiuniang and Fat Aunt helped Zaohua over.
Sir, he took Hui Yi to see the notice, and asked the servant and Qingzhu to wait for the young lady here."
Thinking of Zaohua's overstuffed look, Ning Wei couldn't help but laugh. "That girl Zaohua, she's really overstuffed!"
Sang Ye laughed and said, "Look back, Miss, talk about her properly."
Ning Wei said: "It goes without saying that if she feels uncomfortable once, she won't be like this the next time."
After saying that, Ning Wei took the curtain hat from Sang Ye and put it on, and said: "Let's go back."
Mulberry leaf and Qingzhu bowed their knees to Shi Jingyang, letting them go in front, and then followed behind.
When I walked to the stairs, I met Liu Jinrui, the third master of Xiang Liu's Mansion, and his entourage going upstairs.
Ning Wei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and sighed secretly, what kind of divine fate is this, meeting Liu Sanye again in Huixian Tower.
Seeing Ning Wei stunned, Shi Jingyang took a step forward and crossed in front of Ning Wei, blocking her behind him without leaving any trace.
"Your Majesty, nice to meet you!"
When Liu Jinrui saw Shi Jingyang, he raised his hand in greeting to Shi Jingyang and looked at Ning Wei beside Shi Jingyang from the corner of his eyes.
Shi Jingyang returned the gift with his hand raised, "Sanye Liu, nice to meet you!"
Liu Jinrui went up to the second floor, stopped to chat with Shi Jingyang, and finally said: "The prince is leaving now? It's rare for us to meet each other. How about having a cup of tea together?"
Shi Jingyang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Third Master, for your kindness. Unfortunately, I am busy with worldly affairs today, so I can't accompany you anymore. Let's make an appointment another day. How about that?"
Liu Jinrui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. When the prince is free someday, it won't be too late for us to get together."
As Liu Jinrui spoke, he looked at Ning Wei next to Shi Jingyang and asked, "Master, who is this?"
Shi Jingyang said: "This is my sister-in-law, Ah Wei, who came here to meet Master Liu San."
While Shi Jingyang and Liu Jinrui were chatting, Ning Wei's eyes accidentally fell on the woman standing aside.
The moment he saw the woman, Ning Wei seemed to be petrified, staring blankly at her, her head buzzing.
Why is she here? Why is she next to Liu Jinrui?
Shi Jingyang noticed something strange about Ning Wei and raised his hand to pat Ning Wei's shoulder: "A Wei, come here and see Mr. Liu."
Ning Wei came back to her senses, took a step forward, bowed to Liu Jinrui and said, "Hello, Third Master Liu."
Ning Wei was wearing a curtain hat. Liu Jinrui couldn't see Ning Wei's face clearly. He looked at her figure and thought that Ning Wei was the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Marquis. He raised his hand and said in return: "Hello, Miss Shi."
Ning Wei did not defend herself, nodded slightly, and then obediently retreated behind Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang bowed his hands to Liu Jinrui and said goodbye, "Goodbye, Third Master."
Liu Jinrui returned the gift with his hand and said with a smile: "Master, please go slowly. Let's meet again another day."
Shi Jingyang led Ning Wei downstairs. Liu Jinrui watched Shi Jingyang and his entourage leave, and his eyes fell on Ning Wei. After a while, he turned around and walked inside.
Shi Jingyang turned his head and looked at Ning Wei and asked, "What's wrong? You looked very wrong just now."
Ning Wei took a step closer to Shi Jingyang and whispered: "Just now, did you see the woman next to Liu Jinrui?"
Shi Jingyang thought for a while, thinking of a woman dressed as a maid, and nodded, "I saw it, what happened to that woman? Do you know her?"
Ning Wei blurted out: "How can we know each other? She has been with me for five years."
Ning Wei's voice couldn't hide the excitement, even a little unbelievable.
Shi Jingyang was very surprised after hearing this. He stopped and asked, "Five years? How did she come to you?"
Ning Wei said: "In the summer when you led the troops to the border, yes, in the summer, on June 19, Hu Rui and I went to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense.
On the way back, I saw a group of thugs bullying a girl on the street. I asked Hu Rui to rescue her.
She said her name was Hua Hong, a refugee from the north, her parents were dead and she had no relatives in the capital, and begged me to take her in.
I saw how pitiful she was, so I accepted her."
Shi Jingyang frowned slightly and asked: "Ah Wei, are you sure this person is the one you saved? Isn't it just his looks?"
Ning Wei nodded and said, "I'm sure it's her. There is a mole as big as a grain of rice at the end of the red right eyebrow. You can't tell it without paying attention."
I just stared at her right eyebrow, and there was a mole at the end of her eyebrow."
The moment she saw Hua Hong, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Until now, her mind was still confused.
Ning Wei had mixed feelings in her heart. If Hua Hong was Liu Jinrui's person, not only would she not be able to recognize people well, she would also lead the wolf into the house.
Back then, when she married into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the dowry and the people who came from her were all arranged by the Zhao family.
She was instinctively wary of Zhao's people, but she had 200% trust in the bonus she saved.
During those days in the Hou Mansion, she left her contact with the outside world to Hu Rui.
As for the big and small matters in the house, she mostly left them to Hua Hong to handle.
The person she trusted the most was someone else's informant. How stupid was she in her last life?
Thinking about it now, Hua Hong probably had something to do with her falling into the lake and Shi Jingyang's murder.
Ning Wei thought of this, and when she looked at Shi Jingyang again, her heart was filled with self-blame and guilt.
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, and said softly: "A Wei, don't blame yourself or feel guilty.
Those things are over, we are back and we are no longer the ignorant fools we were before. From now on, we will never make the same mistakes again."
After hearing this, Ning Wei took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, and said gratefully to Shi Jingyang: "Thank you!"
Shi Jingyang said: "Don't worry about the bonus, I'll check it out. Come on, I'll take you to the car."
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay!"
The two walked out side by side and reached the door. Shi Jingyang stood tall and saw Xu Yan's carriage. He lowered his head and said to Ning Wei, "The carriage is over here."
Ning Wei followed the direction of Shi Jingyang's finger and saw Xu Yan parked the car not far from the courtyard gate and walked towards the carriage.
When Xu Yan saw Ning Wei coming, he quickly got out of the car and put the footrest in place.
Before getting into the car, Ning Wei politely said goodbye to Shi Jingyang, "Thank you for the hospitality, I'm going back."
Before Shi Jingyang could reply, a shout came from behind him. "Brother Le!"
Ning Wei looked over and saw Wu Mingyi and Wu Mingxuan from Chengguo Palace standing at the door of the restaurant. The two brothers and sisters were looking this way.
Ning Wei smiled at Shi Jingyang and said, "The eldest lady of Chengguo Palace is called Shizi. See you, Shizi."
Ning Wei saw Wu Mingyi's brother and sister coming this way. She didn't want to talk to Wu Mingyi, so she turned around and got in the car.
Seeing that Ning Wei was about to get in the car, Sang Ye hurried forward and reached out to support Ning Wei. Qingzhu followed the opportunity and got into the car with Sang Ye.
Ning Wei saw Sang Ye and Qing Zhu getting into the car and hurriedly said to Xu Yan: "Uncle Xu, go back home."
Sang Ye asked: "Miss, don't we wait for Mr. Hui Yi?"
Ning Wei said: "Sir, they will take another car."
Following Ning Wei's instructions, Xu Yan quickly put away his footstool, jumped into the car and drove away.
Shi Jingyang looked at the carriage leaving in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Le, who is in the car? Why are you walking so fast?"
Wu Mingyi and Wu Mingxuan walked over and asked as they looked in the direction the carriage was leaving.
Shi Jingyang did not reply to Wu Mingyi's words, but looked at Wu Mingxuan and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wu Mingxuan replied: "Sister Yi said that she wanted to eat crab roe buns from Huixianlou. She has been talking for several days and just came with her today. Why is Qing'an here? Whose lady was that just now?"
Wu Mingxuan looked at Shi Jingyang with a gossipy face.
Shi Jingyang said calmly: "No, it's a friend. Are you going back?"
"Um!"
"Not back yet."
Wu Mingxuan and Wu Mingyi replied at the same time.
Wu Mingxuan wanted to speak, but Wu Mingyi pulled his sleeve and said first, "Don't go back yet. I heard that there will be an execution at the vegetable market in Yuanmen today. Many people are going there to watch the excitement. We also want to go and see the excitement. Can Brother Le come with us?"
Wu Mingxuan looked sideways at Wu Mingyi and asked: "Sister Yi, did you just..."
Wu Mingyi looked up at Wu Mingxuan, winked at him, and said: "Brother did not just promise Yi'er to accompany Yi'er. Brother is not allowed to go back on his word. He must fulfill his promise to Yi'er."
When Wu Mingxuan saw his sister like this, how could he not know what she was thinking?
Wu Mingxuan wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw Wu Mingyi winking at him, he could only sigh slightly in his heart, looked up at Shi Jingyang, and asked, "Are you going to Qing'an?"
Shi Jingyang originally wanted to go to the camp gate to see what was going on there, so he nodded and said, "Let's go together."
Seeing Shi Jingyang agree, Wu Mingyi looked at Shi Jingyang with bright eyes and asked, "Did brother Le come by car or by horseback?"
Shi Jingyang replied calmly: "I came by car."
Wu Mingyi asked with a smile: "Brother Le's car is the most elegant. Is it okay for Yi'er to take Brother Le's car there?"
Shi Jingyang turned to Qingshan and said, "My cousin, take my car and ask someone to pull a horse over. I'll ride the horse."
When Wu Mingyi saw that Shi Jingyang wanted to ride a horse, he immediately became unhappy and said, "Brother Le's car is spacious and can accommodate three or five people. Why does Brother Le want to ride a horse?"
It would be nice for the three of us brothers and sisters to sit together and talk without having to shout at the top of our lungs. Brother, don’t you think so?"
After saying that, Wu Mingyi turned around and asked Wu Mingxuan.
What could Wu Mingxuan say? Naturally, he followed Wu Mingyi's words.
"It's true that when we, brothers and sisters, are together, we always have endless things to talk about. If we sit together, we can talk more politely. Qing'an, what do you think?"
Wu Mingxuan spoke, but Shi Jingyang couldn't bear to insist on riding. He nodded and said: "Okay, let's ride together."
Wu Mingyi was overjoyed and took the lead in getting on the car and sitting in Shi Jingyang's seat. He raised the curtains and said to the two of them: "Brother, Brother Le, come up quickly!"
Wu Mingxuan politely greeted Shi Jingyang: "Qing'an, please!"
Shi Jingyang leaned forward and said, "Please, cousin."
Wu Mingxuan looked at Shi Jingyang and finally got into the car first.
