Qingshan was not polite, bowed to the two of them, turned around and went to work.
Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu started milling around in the yard.
Jiang Xingyu looked around, pointed to a high place not far away and said, "Ah Wei, let's go there."
Ning Wei looked in the direction of Jiang Xingyu's finger. It was the main building of Xingyuan and the tallest building in the house. She nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go."
A group of people climbed to the third floor, stood by the guardrail, and looked at the low-rise houses around them, feeling like they stood out from the crowd.
It's autumn and the air is crisp. Looking around, you can see as far as your eyesight can.
Jiang Xingyu looked around and praised: "This is a good place. You can see Dongcheng in front of you."
Ning Wei's eyes were on the cars delivering food to the house one after another downstairs.
The food arrived in Beijing safely and she won the first battle, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
The next step is to sell the truckload of food and turn it into white money.
Jiang Xingyu looked away and saw Ning Wei staring at the grain cart downstairs, "What is Wei looking at?"
"Silver!" Ning Wei blurted out.
Jiang Xingyu was stunned for a moment to react, and said with a smile: "A truckload of food is not just free money!"
Jiang Xingyu leaned against the guardrail, looked at Ning Wei and said, "Ah Wei, when you said you were good at selling rice, I thought you were just running a rice shop.
I never expected that you would grow your business on such a big scale. All the goods are purchased by ship, and six ships are shipped at one time. This is an incredible courage!"
Jiang Xingyu expressed his heartfelt admiration!
Ning Wei looked at Jiang Xingyu with a smile and replied: "That's because of your support. Without the 100,000 silver you gave me as a capital, I can't do anything even if I have an idea. So, I have to thank you for your trust and support."
Jiang Xingyu turned around and looked at the grain truck downstairs and said, "Ah Wei, don't say that. The prince told me that you will still do this business even without my support."
Ning Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Jiang Xingyu and asked, "When did the prince say this to you?"
Jiang Xingyu said: "Last time I heard about your idea of opening a rice bank in Fengle Tower, the prince said that your idea was very detailed, thorough and feasible.
The prince praised you for your talent in business!"
Ning Wei smiled and took Jiang Xingyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Prince Jin thinks highly of me.
To be honest, I had thought about this idea for a long time, but I just thought about it and never dared to take action.
Xingyu, it was your support that gave me the confidence to let Uncle Shi go south.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. The grain has arrived in Beijing. Next, we have to sell this grain and turn it into white money.”
Jiang Xingyu said: "I'm not good at doing business. Next, I have to rely on you."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Okay, leave everything to me. Uncle Wei and Qingshan are here, so we don't need to keep an eye on them.
I heard that Liu’s pot stickers in Dongcheng are very good, let’s go and try them.”
Jiang Xingyu loves food very much. When he heard that there was something delicious, he immediately said, "It's okay if Ah Wei doesn't tell me about it. As soon as you mention the food, my stomach starts to sing."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."
A group of people went to Liu Ji Pot Sticker Shop on Sijing Road. The waiter came to greet them, and Xu Yan said, "I want a private room."
The waiter said apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, the private room is full, and there are two empty tables in the lobby. Do you want them?"
Jiang Xingyu nodded and said, "We want these two tables."
The waiter leaned forward and said, "Okay, sir, please come with me."
Jiang Xingyu said to Ning Wei: "The lobby is just the lobby. It's rare for us to come here and eat before going back."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I can do it. I just feel wronged by you."
Jiang Xingyu smiled and said, "I'm not that delicate. Let's go in quickly."
The group entered the lobby. Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu sat down at the small table by the window. Hu Rui and Jin Xin took a group of maids and sat at the large table next to them.
Not long after they entered, the people at the next table finished eating and left, leaving only Xu Yan and the others to sit down.
Everyone sat down, and Dr. Tea came over to pour tea for everyone.
There was a sudden noise outside the door, and people in the room stood up one after another, stretching their necks to look outside.
Dr. Tea also stopped pouring tea, stood on tiptoe to look at it for a while, and then continued to do the work at hand.
Seeing his calm look, Jiang Xingyu asked, "What's going on outside the door?"
Dr. Cha said with a sad smile: "Objectively speaking, it's nothing. It's just a few kids from Lelin class who were performing nearby and were kicked out by the shop next door.
These children are pitiful to say the least. No restaurant or restaurant dares to ask them to perform as entertainers. They can only sing songs in the streets and alleys. If they meet a kind-hearted person who has a lot of money, they can be rewarded with two cents."
Dr. Tea shook his head as he spoke, poured the tea and left.
Ning Wei stood up after hearing the words "Le Lin Ban". Hu Rui stood up one step ahead of Ning Wei, turned around and pressed on Ning Wei's shoulder, and whispered: "Miss, sit down, go down and take a look."
Ning Wei nodded and immediately sat down.
Jiang Xingyu noticed Ning Wei's abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Ah Wei? Do you know these people?"
Ning Wei nodded and said, "I know a guy named Gu Lan from Lelin class."
Immediately, Ning Wei told Jiang Xingyu what happened to Gu Lan.
After Jiang Xingyu heard this, he cursed in a low voice: "This is too much bullying. Zhao Yongqing really deserves to die."
Ning Wei said: "I wanted to talk to you before, and wanted you to ask King Jin if he could let the Lelin Troupe perform at Fengle Tower. But things happened one after another during this period, so I forgot about it."
Jiang Xing said, "I really can't make the decision on this matter, I can't respond to you.
I'll ask the prince first to see what he means. If the prince says yes, then let the people from the Lelin class come over. What do you think? Of course, you can let them make some preparations."
Ning Wei said gratefully: "Okay, I'll thank you in advance on Gulan's behalf."
Ning Wei said, clasping her hands and thanking Jiang Xingyu.
Jiang Xingyu frowned when he saw Ning Wei solemnly thanking her, and asked: "In total, Ah Wei and Gu Lan have only met once, why should Ah Wei help her?"
Jiang Xingyu was puzzled.
Ning Wei's hand holding the tea paused, and Jiang Xingyu's question reminded her. Why should she help her?
Ning Wei had never thought about this issue before.
Because Gu Lan is pitiful? Ning Wei shook her head in denial. There are many pitiful people in the world, and besides, she is not a very kind person.
These days, she herself is still stuck in the quagmire.
But thinking of Gu Lan, she felt like she saw herself in all kinds of difficulties. If she didn't help her, her heart would feel uncomfortable...
Ning Wei looked up at Jiang Xingyu and said truthfully: "I don't know why. Speaking of it, I only met her once, and we are not familiar with each other. But when I see her, I feel a sense of intimacy. If I don't help her,
, I will feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Xingyu's curiosity became even more intense. He put down the tea cup and looked at Ning Wei with his hand on his chin, "Hearing what you said, I really want to meet this Gu Lan. See what kind of magic power she has, let you...
Anyone who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business will be made an exception."
When Ning Wei heard that Jiang Xingyu was willing to meet Gu Lan, she looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Okay, it's better to choose a different date. How about we make an appointment with her today?"
Jiang Xingyu responded casually: "Okay, where can we meet? Fengle Building?"
Ning Wei didn't expect Jiang Xingyu to really agree, and nodded happily: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Just as Hu Rui came back, "Don't worry, Miss, everything has been arranged."
Ning Wei waved to Hu Rui.
Hu Rui understood, bent down, put his head over and asked: "Miss, what's the matter?"
Ning Wei ordered: "Have someone tell Gu Lan and ask her to come to Fengle Building in the north of Yujie Street."
Hu Rui's eyes lit up. He looked up at Jiang Xingyu and responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
Jiang Xingyu glanced at Hu Rui sideways, "Don't look at me and smile. I didn't agree to anything. I just wanted to meet this person."
Hu Rui said with a smile: "Yes, I understand. Being able to meet Miss Jiang is already a blessing from Gu Lan. I will make arrangements now."
Hu Rui bowed, turned around and walked quickly to the door.
Jiang Xingyu looked at Hu Rui who was leaving quickly, then looked back at Ning Wei, "It seems that this Gu Lan is so charming that Mr. Hu is so attracted to her."
When the waiter brought the pot stickers and beef soup, Ning Wei stopped talking but smiled.
When Jiang Xingyu saw the food coming, he picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Ning Wei, "Eat first, then go and meet people after eating."
Ning Wei took the chopsticks, thanked her, lowered her head and started eating.
After dinner, the two of them took a car to Yujie North.
Ning Wei knew that Jiang Xingyu had the habit of taking a nap, so he took out a pillow from the secret compartment and handed it over, "Xingyu, here, lean on it and take a nap."
Jiang Xingyu reached out to take it and put it behind his head. He raised his hand and hugged Ning Wei. He closed his eyes and said, "Let's take a nap together."
Ning Wei laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and let's squint together for a while."
With that said, Ning Wei closed her eyes and dozed off head to head with Jiang Xingyu.
Xu Yan listened to the conversation between the two and drove the car very slowly so that the two could sleep more comfortably.
As soon as Ning Wei woke up, she lifted the curtains and looked outside, asking, "Uncle Xu, where are you?"
Xu Yan replied: "Jinshui Road, turn a corner and you will reach Yu Street. Miss, are you awake?"
Jiang Xingyu woke up when he heard the sound, opened his eyes and took a look, sat up straight and stretched, and asked: "Almost there?"
Ning Wei took out the kettle from the warm nest and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Xingyu, "We're at Jinshui Road. Turn around and go to Yujie. Come, have a sip of tea and wake up."
Jiang Xingyu took the tea cup, raised his head, drank all the tea in the cup, and said: "It will be more comfortable to have a sleep. It turns out that sleeping in the car is not bad."
Ning Wei smiled and said: "When you are sleepy, it feels very comfortable to close your eyes. Uncle Xu drives the car so slowly, so naturally it is very comfortable."
Jiang Xingyu smiled and said loudly: "Uncle Xu drove the car well, reward him!"
Xu Yan smiled and replied: "Thank you, Miss Jiang. The two ladies have taken their seats and turned the corner."
The car turned onto Yu Street and headed north.
Ning Wei put away the pillow and asked, "Do you want Xingyu to drink tea?"
Jiang Xingyu shook his head, "No need, you haven't slept?"
Ning Wei smiled and said: "How can I? I just woke up before you woke up."
"Miss, there are a lot of people gathered at the door of Fengle Building. It seems something happened." From a distance, Xu Yan saw people gathering at the door of the restaurant and turned around to report.
Jiang Xingyu opened the curtain first and looked forward, "Who is it? Dare to come to the door of Fengle Building to cause trouble! Uncle Xu, hurry up."
Jiang Xingyu urged while watching.
Xu Yan raised his hand and gave the horse a whip. The horse felt pain and moved much faster.
The car was still some distance away from the crowd, so Xu Yan stopped the car.
Jiang Xingyu pulled Ning Wei out of the car, "Ah Wei, hurry up, let's go take a look."
"Okay, here we come." Ning Wei followed Jiang Xingyu and got out of the car.
As soon as the two got off the car, Hu Rui and Jin Xin had already arrived with their maid and mother-in-law.
Hu Rui said: "Jujube flowers, mulberry leaves, protect the young lady, I'll go take a look."
Jiang Xingyu wanted to watch the excitement, so he let go of Ning Wei's hand after getting off the car and rushed forward, "I'll go and have a look too."
Jin Xin and others hurriedly followed.
Ning Wei was afraid that someone would rush into Jiang Xingyu, so she ordered Hu Rui: "Sir, hurry up and follow me to protect Xingyu."
When Hu Rui saw Xu Yan parked his car and came over, he raised his voice and walked forward: "Xu Yan, protect the young lady."
Ning Wei said: "I'm fine, go quickly."
Ning Wei said and followed quickly.
Zaohua, Sangye and others protected Ning Wei and squeezed into the crowd. Zaohua rushed in front and said while squeezing: "Excuse me, I can borrow it."
The onlookers were overwhelmed by Zaohua's aura, and they all stepped aside to make way for them.
Everyone squeezed in front of the crowd and saw a boy of twelve or thirteen years old holding a wooden stick in front of a woman and glaring at the group of people in front of him with full vigilance.
Ning Wei recognized the woman as Gu Lan at a glance and walked towards Gu Lan.
Ning Wei had just taken two steps when Jiang Xingyu grabbed him, "A Wei, where are you going?"
Ning Wei looked back at Jiang Xingyu and said, "Xingyu, that's Gu Lan."
Jiang Xingyu looked at a group of servants standing behind him and pointed at Shen Shengchi, the second master of Suiyang House, whom Gu Lan kept shouting about.
Jiang Xingyu knew that Ning Wei could not provoke Shen Shengchi, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
Jiang Xingyu pulled Ning Wei behind him and said, "Ah Wei, don't worry, stand back and I'll deal with him."
"I said, as long as you follow me obediently, I will let you eat and drink without worries, but you have to give me a damn toast instead of eating and have to drink as a penalty, right?"
After Master Shen finished speaking, he walked towards Gu Lan.
The little boy in front of Gu Lan waved the stick in his hand and shouted at Mr. Shen, "Stay away from my senior sister."
The little boy danced the stick in his hand so loudly that he could not get closer to Mr. Shen.
Second Master Shen had no choice but to step back, pointed his finger at the little boy and cursed: "Little brat, you damn dare to dance your stick at me, I'm afraid you are impatient for life.
Come here, come to me and beat this little brat hard. If he dares to resist, I will beat him to death."
The little boy stared at Mr. Shen angrily, probably because he was extremely frightened, and shouted: "Ah! Ah! Senior sister, leave quickly."
The little boy waved the stick in his hand and shouted to Gu Lan behind him.
Jiang Xingyu saw the servants of the Suiyang residence rushing towards the little boy and shouted to Jinxin: "Jinxin, go and protect that sister and brother.
Hu Rui took one step ahead, jumped to the boy's side with a side somersault, and said to him: "Stay back."
Before the little boy could react, Jin Xin, who came from behind, held up his collar and threw him behind him, "Watching from the side."
Hu Rui dodged left and right to avoid attacks from a group of servants in Kaisui Ningbo Mansion. While avoiding, she knocked down the servants who attacked her one by one.
