Shi Jingyang got on the car, Wu Mingyi patted the seat next to him, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Le, sit here."
"Sit down!" Wu Mingxuan looked at Shi Jingyang and said.
Shi Jingyang glanced at Wu Mingyi, ignored him, sat down on the low couch on the side, and said calmly: "I can just sit here."
Wu Mingxuan looked at Wu Mingyi, saw a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and sighed secretly.
The smile on Wu Mingyi's face deepened to cover up the disappointment in his heart and the embarrassment on his face.
"Didn't Sister Xing and Sister Chen come out with Brother Le? I haven't seen them for several days."
Wu Mingyi looked for words as if nothing had happened.
Shi Jingyang said calmly: "No. If Sister Yi misses them, you can go to the house to look for them."
Wu Mingyi moved his body to Shi Jingyang's side, raised his hand to roll up the curtains, put his hand on the window, and looked out the window with slightly squinted eyes.
"I was planning to go to my house to look for them in the next two days. I haven't been here for a long time, and it seems that a lot of new shops have opened here. Brother Le, I remember that this place used to be a teahouse, but now it has been converted into a garment shop.
"
Wu Mingyi pointed to the shops on the street and said.
Shi Jingyang followed Wu Mingyi's gaze and quickly looked away, saying, "I don't pay much attention to these."
Shi Jingyang's voice was very light and cold, which made Wu Mingyi very embarrassed for a while.
Seeing that his sister was embarrassed, Wu Mingxuan smiled and tried to smooth things over by saying, "That's what little girls like to pay attention to."
Wu Mingyi turned to look at Wu Mingxuan and said angrily: "What's wrong? Isn't it good for a little girl to pay attention to these things?"
Wu Mingxuan said hurriedly: "Okay, who can't say?"
Wu Mingyi turned around and continued to look at the scenery outside the window, "Brother Le, there are a lot of people queuing up at this bun shop. His buns must be good."
Shi Jingyang looked at the long queue on the street and said "hmm" in response.
This response was much gentler than the previous one.
Wu Mingyi felt very good after hearing this.
After a while, Wu Mingyi continued: "Brother Le, look at the paper kites that the salesman sells. They are very lifelike."
"Brother Le, look at that guy, he's so funny! He's pretending to be a pig."
"..."
When Wu Mingyi saw anything new or not, he would let Shi Jingyang take a look.
Shi Jingyang took one look at it and said yes.
On the other side, Xu Yan drove the car to the street. There were many people on the street, so the speed of the car slowed down.
After the car left Huixian Tower, Ning Wei did not urge Xu Yan anymore, took off the curtain hat and put it to one side, and sat back in the car, still thinking about the bonus.
Mulberry leaves and Qingzhu rarely came out, opened the curtains and looked at the street scene outside the window with joy.
After a while, Sang Ye saw Shi Jingyang's car and reached out to take Ning Wei's hand.
"Miss, the prince's car."
Ning Wei sat up straight and turned to look out the window, just in time to see Wu Mingyi and Shi Jingyang sitting opposite each other. Wu Mingyi smiled like a flower, and Shi Jingyang had a gentle face, like a spring breeze.
Seeing this scene, a string of words came to Ning Wei's mind, a golden boy and a beautiful girl, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a pair made in heaven.
Ning Wei sat back again before Wu Mingyi looked at her.
The moment Sang Ye saw Wu Mingyi, he regretted calling him Ning Wei.
I took a quick glance at Ning Wei and saw that Ning Wei's face was as normal and she didn't look sad. I felt a little relieved, but then I felt that my own lady was not worth it.
What does Prince Shi mean? Since there is someone around him, why did he come to provoke his own lady?
Sang Ye looked at Ning Wei and asked tentatively: "Miss, who is that woman in the Crown Prince's car?"
At the banquet at Fengle House, Zaohua and Sangye did not go together, so Sangye did not know Wu Mingyi.
Ning Wei replied calmly: "The eldest lady of the Chengguo Palace."
Sang Ye said "Oh", it turned out to be the eldest lady of the Chengguo Palace.
Ning Wei looked at Sang Ye and knew what was going on in her mind, so she reminded her: "Shi Shizi and Miss Wu were childhood sweethearts. They are a perfect match."
Sang Ye asked: "Then what does the prince mean when he comes to find a young lady in private?"
Ning Wei cast her eyes on Sang Ye's face and said seriously: "Shizizi and his brother are brothers. I am his brother's biological sister. When I am in trouble, Shishizi lends a helping hand.
That's just Prince Shi helping me a little for his brother's sake.
Please remember, Prince Shi is my great benefactor. Apart from this, I have no other relationship with him. Do you understand?"
It was rare for Sang Ye to see Ning Wei say something directly and seriously, so he bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
Qingzhu bowed and responded.
After saying that, Ning Wei closed her eyes to rest and continued to think about the bonus.
Only this time, the image of Shi Jingyang and Wu Mingyi sitting in a carriage often appeared in my mind.
Ning Wei warned herself to keep a distance from Shi Jingyang to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Back at Ning Mansion, Xu Yan drove the car to the second gate. Sang Ye and Qing Zhu got off first.
After Sang Ye got off the car, he stood beside the car and reached out to help Ning Wei get out of the car.
Qingzhu saw the Taoist priest walking around in the courtyard and wondered: "Why is there a Taoist priest in the house? Is this to do some rituals?"
After hearing this, Ning Wei followed Qingzhu's gaze and saw several people in Taoist robes, each holding a compass, as if they were surveying something.
Ning Wei didn't know why and didn't take it to heart, so she returned to Fangfei Garden with mulberry leaves and green bamboos.
Returning to Fangfeiyuan, Ning Wei said to Sang Ye: "Come to the study with me."
Mulberry bowed her knees and responded. "Yes, I will come soon."
Entering the study, Ning Wei ordered: "Practice ink."
Sang Ye knew that Ning Wei was going to write something, so he stepped forward to put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and then grind the ink.
After Sang Ye finished polishing the ink, Ning Wei lowered his head to draw up the lease contract and said to Sang Ye: "Step back and don't let anyone disturb me."
"Yes, I understand." Sang Ye stepped back.
Ning Wei drafted the contract, checked it from beginning to end, and then made another copy.
Ning Wei drafted the contract and came out of the study, just in time to see Hu Rui and others entering the yard.
Everyone bowed to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei looked at Zaohua and asked with a smile: "Are you okay?"
Zaohua was a little embarrassed, bowed her head and bent her knees and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I'm much better now."
Ning Wei saw that Zaohua was uncomfortable, smiled and said, "Now that she's feeling much better, let's go get busy."
Zaohua took Fat Aunt and others down.
Hu Rui came over and asked, "How long has it been since Miss came back?"
"It's been half an hour." Ning Wei replied.
Hu Rui followed Ning Wei, talking as he walked, walked slowly to the foot of the osmanthus tree, and sat down at the table.
Qingzhu came over with tea, and Hu Rui took the teapot and teacup from the tray, first poured a cup of tea for Ning Wei, and then poured a cup for himself.
"Did Miss meet Master Liu San at Huixian Tower?" Hu Rui picked up the teacup and looked at Ning Wei and asked.
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, I met him at the stairs when leaving Huixian Tower. How did you know, sir?"
Hu Rui replied: "I met you when I went back to look for the young lady. Mr. Liu San is next door to the room where the young lady and the prince are. Liu San seems to regard you as the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion."
Ning Wei took a sip of tea and said, "It's possible that Mr. Liu didn't see my face clearly because I was wearing a curtain hat at the time. What? Did Mr. Liu hear what Mr. Liu said?"
Ning Wei knew that Hu Rui had excellent eyesight and ears.
Hu Rui nodded and said: "When I was going down to look for Miss, I happened to hear Mr. Liu's subordinates reporting to him that I didn't know Miss Ning would come to Huixian Tower. They only accepted the message that Miss Wu would come to Huixian Tower."
."
Ning Wei was shocked, stared at Hu Rui and asked: "Sir, are you sure?"
Hu Rui nodded solemnly and said: "When I passed by the door of Liu Sanye's private room, the door was ajar and there was no one at the door. I heard it very clearly."
Ning Wei thought for a while and said: "This is not a trivial matter. Go find Prince Shi immediately and report the matter to Prince Shi."
Encountering a bonus today made Ning Wei much more alert.
Hu Rui also felt that this matter should not be underestimated, so he stood up and said, "Okay, let's go down now."
Ning Wei nodded, "Go."
After Hu Rui left, Ning Wei sat alone for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen.
The exams will start tomorrow in autumn, and she wants to make some soft snacks for her brother, which will satisfy hunger and be easy to carry.
Ning Wei entered the kitchen. When Sang Ye saw her coming in, he said, "Miss, I've already cooked the rice. What are you going to cook today? I'm here to pick the vegetables."
Ning Wei walked to the shelf, looked up and down, and said, "Make lotus root clips, stir-fried beef, braised eggplant, and Fuding pork slices soup. You take these vegetables and wash them first."
Mulberry Ye bent her knees and put the vegetables Ning Wei had told her into the basin, ready to wash them.
Ning Wei turned around and took a basin to get flour.
"Has any of you touched the flour?" Ning Wei asked, looking at the half-open bag mouth.
Qiuniang was lighting the fire. She straightened up and said back and forth, "I haven't moved yet."
Qingzhu was washing the pot, turned around and replied: "My servant hasn't moved either."
Zaohua walked in the door and happened to hear Qingzhu's reply and asked, "What are you moving for?"
Qingzhu replied: "The lady asked who touched the flour bag."
Zaohua walked over, looked at the flour bag and asked, "We are eating breakfast out today. No one should have touched anything in the kitchen. What's wrong? Miss, do you think something is wrong?"
Ning Wei pointed at the flour bag. "After I took the flour last night, I twisted the opening a few times and compacted it into a neat shape."
Ning Wei loves tidiness and has developed a habit for a long time. No matter what she takes, she does not just take it and leave, but she has to sort out the rest before leaving.
Last night she made noodles for Shi Jingyang. After taking the flour, she clearly arranged the mouth of the bag.
Zaohua looked around and asked, "Did someone enter our yard and touch things in the kitchen after we left this morning?"
Zaohua expressed Ning Wei's worries.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Tomorrow my brother will have to take the scientific examination, so there must be no problem with food.
Ning Wei ordered: "Zaohua, go and get some pieces of paper."
Zaohua bent her knees in response, took two steps back and turned around to leave.
After a while, Zaohua brought a stack of paper over.
"Miss, the paper is here."
Ning Wei reached out and took it, cut a piece of paper into several small pieces, took some rice, noodles, soybeans, mung beans... took some of each and wrapped it in paper.
"We won't be cooking today, you all go and have a rest."
After saying that, Ning Wei returned to the study with the paper bag, opened the window of the study, and hung a small red lantern on the window.
After a while, Qiao Fei appeared outside the window and asked, "Miss, are you looking for something wrong with me?"
Ning Wei said: "Yes, please take these to Guangmingtang and ask Dr. Hu to identify them and see if they have been tampered with."
With that said, Ning Wei handed the paper bag wrapped in a handkerchief to Qiao Fei.
Qiao Fei took the paper bag and said, "Okay, little one, let's go right away."
After saying that, Qiao Fei was about to turn around and leave.
Ning Wei shouted: "Wait."
Qiao Fei stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Miss?"
Ning Wei handed over a banknote and said: "When you come back, just go to Fengle Building and bring back some food. My brother is leaving tomorrow and is not easy to eat spicy food. Order some light food for him. Others,
It's up to you."
Qiao Fei took the banknote and bowed, "Yes, I've written it down."
After Qiao Fei left, Ning Wei took back the small lantern and closed the window.
Ning Wei walked around the room, suddenly thought of something, turned around and went out. Zaohua saw her and asked: "Where are you going, Miss?"
Ning Wei said: "It's been so long since I came back today, why haven't I seen Dabai?"
On weekdays, whenever she was in the house, Dabai would always come to her and hang out.
Zaohua also reacted, "Yes, why didn't I see Dabai today?"
Ning Wei walked towards the kennel under the verandah. Zaohua followed Ning Wei. When they were about to reach the kennel, Zaohua took two steps forward and crossed over to Ning Wei. She walked to the front and bent down to go into the kennel.
Look, there is nothing inside.
Zaohua straightened up as she spoke, "Miss, Dabai is not here."
Ning Wei had a bad feeling in her heart, looked around and said, "Go and find it."
"Yes, I understand!" Zaohua bent her knees in response, turned around and called Sangye and a few others, and together they went to the yard to look for Dabai.
A quarter of an hour later, Zaohua ran back panting, "Miss, I found... I found Dabai... he was beaten... to death by the master's order."
The anger in Ning Wei's chest surged up, and she strode out. She wanted to find Ning Guangyan for an explanation.
Zaohua followed Ning Wei and asked as she walked: "Miss, where are you going?"
Ning Wei said: "I'm going to ask my father why he did this?"
Zaohua advised: "Miss, please calm down first."
The master is the head of the family. Let alone a dog, even a servant. If he wants to beat it to death, it is only a matter of words.
It's disrespectful for the young lady to rush up and question the master without any care!
Ning Wei kept walking, "Who did Dabai offend? Why did my father order someone to kill it?"
Dabai is very understanding of human nature. During these days when he came to Fangfeiyuan, he liked to stick to Ning Wei.
Dabai, who was hanging around her yesterday and trying to please her, was killed today. Ning Wei was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
Ning Wei walked to the Moon Gate and was stopped by Ning Yu who was coming towards her.
"Awei."
Ning Yu heard that the servants of Fang Feiyuan were looking for Dabai. He was afraid that Ning Wei would rush to search for Dabai regardless of knowing that Dabai was killed, so he hurried over to stop him.
When Ning Wei saw Ning Yu, she choked and said, "Brother, my father had Dabai beaten to death."
Ning Yu nodded and said, "I heard about it."
Ning Wei said angrily: "Father, why would he do this?"
Ning Yu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking down at Ning Wei and said: "In order to anger us and prevent me from ending in peace, Zhao did everything possible."
After hearing Ning Yu's words, Ning Wei gritted her teeth in anger.
Ning Yu said warmly: "Don't argue with them. Follow your brother to Liuyuan."
