The more Ning Guangyan thought about it, the more reasonable his analysis became, and he continued: "I felt something was wrong about the drug store before. Now it seems that the other party is not only plotting against you, but also wants to kill me!"
Mrs. Zhao was stunned, and after a moment, she murmured, "Who could this person be?"
Ning Guangyan said: "Judging from recent events, this person's ability is not small."
Mrs. Zhao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Let me tell you, Sister Wei has always been well-behaved and obedient, but recently she seems to be a different person.
Someone must be instigating her behind the scenes to make Sister Wei become like this.
And Brother Yu, Brother Yu used to be very close to me, but now he treats me as an enemy and confronts me in everything."
Speaking of Ning Yu and Ning Wei, Mrs. Zhao felt extremely wronged and sighed!
Ning Guangyan consoled her: "I know Madam treats them well, but they don't know how to cherish her and have no conscience. Madam is too rich and doesn't have the same experience as them."
Mrs. Zhao sighed and said, "If I want to argue with them, I will be angry to death. We have to find this person out quickly."
Ning Guangyan pulled his beard and agreed: "We must find this person out quickly, otherwise, we will be very passive."
Mrs. Zhao was extremely troubled: "How to get rid of him? This man is tall, short, fat, and thin. No one knows his name. We don't know where to start."
Ning Guangyan thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer, the other party has a purpose and will show up sooner or later."
Mrs. Xiao Zhao sighed, "This is the only way. I am just worried about you. I can't keep complaining about my illness, right?"
Ning Guangyan patted Mrs. Zhao's hand and said, "There is nothing we can do about it.
We are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. We can only wait and see what happens.
Mother and the others won’t be hiding forever, let’s wait a little longer, and then we can make plans after we find out the whereabouts of mother and the others.”
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Okay, that's all."
Ning Guangyan said: "Brother Yang has worked hard on the exam. Madam, go to the kitchen to make arrangements and make some of Brother Yang's favorite food. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, what do you need to prepare? If you make arrangements early, the servants can also prepare early.
.”
Mrs. Zhao stood up while patting her head, "There have been so many things going on recently, I actually forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival... I will go to the kitchen right now."
In Sanpinxuan in the north of Yujie Street, Ning Yu woke up and saw the afterglow of the sun filling the window sill.
Ning Yu looked at the unfamiliar room and was stunned for a moment, then woke up.
"Master, are you awake?" Chang Le heard the noise in the house and entered the room and asked.
Ning Yu said: "Wake up, when is it?"
"I'm awake!" Chang Le first turned to face Xu Yan outside the door, then turned around and went into the room to wait on him and replied: "Come back to me, it's time to sign up. The prince has ordered a table from Fengle Building. When he wakes up, we will
Send someone to get it."
Ning Yu was surprised, looked at Chang Le and asked, "Qing'an hasn't returned home?"
Chang Le tied Ning Yu's belt, turned around and fetched water for Ning Yu to wash his face, "No, the prince lives next door to me."
Ning Yu took the handkerchief from Chang Le, lowered his head and washed his face.
Shi Jingyang's voice sounded outside. "Yingzhe is awake?"
Ning Yu handed the handkerchief to Chang Le, turned around and walked out, "I woke up and you are still here. I thought you had gone back home."
Shi Jingyang walked to the table and sat down, "You have returned triumphantly today, and I have to celebrate you."
Ning Yu bowed towards Shi Jingyang and said, "Qing'an is very considerate, thank you very much!"
Shi Jingyang pointed to the position opposite, "Okay, let's just talk about these false etiquettes between the two of us."
Ning Yu sat down opposite Shi Jingyang.
Shi Jingyang raised his hand to pour tea for Ning Yu and asked: "How is it? Is this subject difficult? How confident are you?"
Shi Jingyang pushed the cup in front of Ning Yu and looked up at Ning Yu.
Ning Yu took the cup, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "Fortunately, it's all within my expectations, I should be able to hit it."
While adding tea to Ning Yu, Shi Jingyang said: "You always only talk about seven points. If you say you can get it, you must have done extremely well in the exam."
Ning Yu smiled and said, "I can't even say it's excellent. Although I have answered all the test questions, you know that there are still many uncertain factors in this kind of exam."
Shi Jingyang nodded, "That's right. Sir, he often said that we should do everything we can to obey fate. Let's do what we can do well and leave the rest to God."
There was a knock at the door, and the two of them looked up. Qingshan came into the room and said, "Masters, the food is on the table."
Shi Jingyang nodded, "I understand. Let's go and chat while we eat."
"Okay!" Ning Yu stood up.
The two of them went to the next door and took their seats politely.
Seeing that there was no wine on the table, Shi Jingyang raised his voice and said, "Qingshan, where is the wine?"
Chang Le responded: "Here we come! The younger one is going to warm the wine."
Chang Le came in with wine.
Shi Jingyang reached out to take the wine and said: "No need to wait here, you can go down."
Chang Le, Qingshan and others leaned forward and exited the house.
Shi Jingyang poured the wine and raised his glass: "Here, let's take the first glass to celebrate Yingzhe's triumphant return and to be named on the gold list."
Ning Yu raised his glass to thank him, clinked his glass with Shi Jingyang, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Shi Jingyang then poured wine for Ning Yu.
Ning Yu took a bite of the food and asked: "Qing'an, why did Ah Wei and her grandmother go to Bao'en Temple? What happened outside during the few days I took the exam? Why did you bring me here instead of back to Mingyuan?"
Shi Jingyang raised his glass, "This is what I want to congratulate you on."
"Respect me? Why are you so happy?" Ning Yu straightened his back, his eyes full of inquiry.
Shi Jingyang told Ning Yu what happened in Ning Mansion, and finally said: "Ah Wei asked Qiao Yi to go to Jingzhao Mansion to apply for household registration for you. Now, you are the head of the household, and Mrs. Qian and Ah Wei are both in your house.
It’s on the household registration book.”
Ning Yu didn't expect that when he took part in a scientific examination, Ning Wei would do such a big thing outside.
"You said Zhao Yongqing is dead?" Ah Wei was too bold.
Shi Jingyang nodded, "He's dead. He was born three days ago. Don't blame Ah Wei."
I checked and found out that the reason A Wei asked Hu Rui to get rid of Zhao Yongqing was because A Wei listened to what Qing Zhu and Hui Yi said."
Shi Jingyang saw the worry in Ning Yu's eyes.
Ning Yu asked: "Qingzhu and Huiyi? The two new maids beside Ah Wei?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "These two people were originally the maids around Zhao Yongqing's concubine, Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu couldn't bear Zhao Yongqing's insult and killed her. Ah Wei sympathized with Aunt Liu, so she let Hu Rui take action. That guy Zhao Yongqing really deserves to die.
.”
Ning Yu nodded slightly, raised his head, drank a glass of wine, and took two bites of the food in silence.
Seeing his silence, Shi Jingyang asked, "Yingzhe, are you angry?"
Ning Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly at Shi Jingyang: "I'm not angry, just a little sad.
Ah Wei is my younger sister. Logically speaking, I should be the one to protect her. But unexpectedly, she in turn protects me everywhere.
Think about it, in the past, Ah Wei would be sad and cry when she saw injured puppies and kittens, but now she is forced to... dare to do such a thing."
Shi Jingyang leaned forward and poured wine for Ning Yuman, and said comfortingly: "It's a good thing that Ah Wei has grown up and can stand alone. We should be happy."
Ning Yu picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.
"If possible, I hope Ah Wei never grows up and lives a simple and happy life. Alas! It's just that I'm too weak."
Shi Jingyang advised: "Don't just focus on drinking and eating. I don't think so. Simple is not necessarily good, and complexity is not necessarily bad.
I really think Ah Wei is very good, kind-hearted with a bit of edge, and able to protect herself and the people she wants to protect."
Ning Yu put a piece of beef in his mouth and chewed it slowly. After a moment, he nodded and said: "This is the reason, but I still feel very uncomfortable."
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Understood! Come, have a drink!"
Shi Jingyang raised his glass and touched it with Ning Yu, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Then he said: "Ning Yuanwailang was impeached by the officials of Yushitai for writing a letter of renunciation. After Ah Wei learned about it, he calculated that Ning Yuanwailang would come to Mingyuan to entangle him, so he took the old lady and Jiang old lady to avoid it to repay the favor.
temple.
Sure enough, as soon as Ah Wei and the others left, Ning Yuanwai Lang went to Mingyuan.
These days, Zhao sent people everywhere to search for the whereabouts of A Wei and the old lady.
Since Ah Wei and the old lady could not be found, Zhao made a plan for you and sent someone to wait at the gate of Gongyuan. As soon as Yingzhe leaves the dragon gate, Qin Li and others will take you back to Ning Mansion."
Ning Yu picked up the wine glass depressedly, raised his head and took a sip of wine.
"What does he want to do? He wrote the renunciation letter himself, and he still wants to go back on it? He breaks his promise!"
Shi Jingyang took a sip of wine and said, "A Wei said that Ning Yuan Wai Lang refreshed her understanding of 'shameless'. Alas, what Ning Yuan Wai Lang did is really unbelievable."
Ning Yu filled Shi Jingyang's glass with wine, then filled it with himself, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Sometimes, I wonder if Ah Wei and I are his children."
Shi Jingyang took a sip of wine and said, "There's no need to question this. Looking at your similar appearance, I know it can't be fake."
Ning Yu raised his head and took a sip of wine.
Shi Jingyang continued: "Ah Wei plans to stay at Baoen Temple until the results are released."
Ning Yu nodded, "It's okay. I've been busy preparing for the exam recently. Maybe I haven't been to Baoen Temple for a long time. I just want to go and stay in the temple for a few days."
After saying that, Ning Yu raised his glass to Shi Jingyang, "Thank you very much!"
Shi Jingyang raised his glass and clinked it, "You're welcome!"
After taking two bites of food, Shi Jingyang raised his glass and said: "The annual Autumn Festival will be in two days, and this time, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to accompany him.
In this way, I will not be in Beijing on the day when the results are released, so I will congratulate you first."
Every year during the Autumn Festival, fourth-rank officials and their family members are eligible to follow.
Ning Yu raised his glass and clinked it with Shi Jingyang, "Thank you! Are you at the East Palace Consul? Are you
Didn’t you say that you have to take a military exercise before becoming a consul?”
Ning Yu asked Shi Jingyang before. Shi Jingyang was determined to take the military examination and then go to the Gyeonggi Camp. He did not say that he was going to the East Palace to be the consul.
Shi Jingyang said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to go to the East Palace for consulship. His Highness the Crown Prince said that even if I go to the Gyeonggi Camp after the martial arts examination, I can go to the East Palace for consulship in the days before the martial arts examination.
I thought it would be good to work as a consul if I was idle. This time I went with Qiu Xi to gain experience, so I could gain some experience."
Ning Yu nodded, "That's okay, and Qiuyi is a good opportunity to practice. Then I'll wait for your good news in Beijing, hunt more game, and let Ah Wei show off his talents."
Shi Jingyang smiled and agreed readily, "Okay. By the way, there is something else I want to tell you."
Ning Yu looked up at Shi Jingyang and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ning Yu looked at Shi Jingyang nervously.
Seeing Ning Yu tense up, Shi Jingyang smiled and said, "Yingzhe doesn't need to be nervous, that's a good thing."
Ning Yu felt relieved and said, "One major incident after another makes me so nervous. Tell me, what's the good thing?"
Shi Jingyang smiled and said, "You'd never expect it."
Hearing what Shi Jingyang said, Ning Yu urged: "Don't be so pretentious, tell me quickly."
Shi Jingyang said: "Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang are old acquaintances, and they even know each other handkerchief.
Ah Wei said that the relationship between the old lady and Mrs. Jiang is like her and Zhangzhu. You also know that Zhangzhu and Ah Wei get along extremely well."
Ning Yu looked at Shi Jingyang in disbelief: "Old acquaintance? How is that possible?"
"Isn't it unbelievable? I heard about it at the time, and I thought it was incredible. Ah Wei could know Wei Yuan, and the old lady and the old lady Jiang were old acquaintances. It seemed that everything was destined. It's amazing." Shi Jingyang
said.
"Then what is Mrs. Jiang's family background? My grandmother's family background is very ordinary. How did they become handkerchief friends? It's really incredible."
Ning Yu was so shocked that his eyes widened.
Shi Jingyang refilled Ning Yu's wine and said, "Old Mrs. Jiang's father was once the Minister of Taipu Temple.
As for Mrs. Qian's father, your great-grandfather once served in Taipu Temple and was the chief clerk under Jiang Siqing.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense for Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Qian to know each other."
Even so, it's still too surprising.
Ning Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true, but I've never heard my grandmother mention anything about the Jiang family."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said: "The Jiang family's affairs were all from the late emperor's period. It's normal that the old lady didn't mention them."
Ning Yu nodded and said, "Well, that's the truth."
Shi Jingyang said: "I am telling you this to give you an idea. This is also one of the happy events. By the way, speaking of happy events, there is another big happy event."
Ning Yu looked at Shi Jingyang steadily, "Is there any happy event?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Yes, there is another happy event. Ah Wei's grain from Jiangnan has arrived."
Ning Yu took over, "This is indeed a happy event."
Shi Jingyang thought Ning Yu knew about it and asked, "A Wei told you?"
Ning Yu shook his head, "Not yet, but I know that Uncle Shi went to the south. Counting the days, he should be back. How much grain did he transport back?"
Shi Jingyang made a six sign to Ning Wei.
Ning Yu looked at it and asked, "Six thousand catties?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "No, Liuzhou!"
Ning Yu stood up from his chair in shock, looked at Shi Jingyang and asked, "How many? Six ships?"
Shi Jingyang smiled and said: "It's hard to resemble her, isn't it? Ah Wei is someone who does big things."
Ning Yu was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time, and it took him a long time to say: "A Wei, this girl, is too courageous. This is the first time I buy so much in a business, what if I lose money?"
Shi Jingyang said: "Yingzhe, when you meet Ah Wei tomorrow, you can't blame her or dampen her enthusiasm. Besides, buying so many goods for the first time is called courage. Do you understand?"
