Following Jiang Xingyu back to Biyun Pavilion, after Hanmei served tea and fruit snacks, Jiang Xingyu said: "You all can go down."
Hanmei led everyone back.
Jiang Xingyu stretched out his hand and pushed the Ruyi Juan in front of Ning Wei, "Ah Wei, try it. This is the signature snack of my grandfather's family. It is no worse than the one made in the imperial kitchen in the palace."
Ning Wei looked at the Ruyi rolls that were browned on the plate, cut into small pieces and arranged neatly, and said with a smile: "The Ruyi rolls look delicious."
As Ning Wei spoke, he reached for a piece and put it into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and nodded to Jiang Xingyu, "The skin is crispy and fragrant, and the fillings are fresh. It's very good. This is a famous snack in Huizhou. You
Is there a Huizhou cook in my grandfather’s house?”
Jiang Xingyu looked at Ning Wei and nodded: "Ah Wei, that's right, you actually know that this is Huizhou food. My great-grandfather was from Huizhou, and my grandmother's dowry included a cook who was from Huizhou."
Ning Wei ate two pieces in a row, "It's very fragrant and delicious."
Seeing that she liked to eat, Jiang Xingyu said, "If you like it, eat more."
Ning Wei waved her hand, "Have a rest first and eat later. I'm too full in the morning."
Jiang Xingyu no longer forced himself, and leaned back, "Okay, come to my place, just like at home, be more casual."
Ning Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "When I'm with you, I'm not restrained."
The two sat and chatted for a while. Ning Wei saw that Jiang Xingyu was a little sleepy and said, "Xingyu, I got up a little early in the morning and am a little sleepy here. I want to stay with you for a while. You see, it's inconvenient."
?”
"It's convenient. What's the inconvenience? Come on, let's go to the couch and talk."
Jiang Xingyu stood up and took Ning Wei to the inner room.
The two lay on the bed and talked. Not long after, Ning Wei saw that Jiang Xingyu stopped talking. He turned around and saw that she had fallen asleep.
Ning Wei waited for a while and saw that Jiang Xingyu was fast asleep, then she got up gently.
Ning Wei got out of bed, stretched out her hand to cover Jiang Xingyu with the quilt, then walked quietly to the window, stretched out her hand to pull the curtains, leaving only a small part, and the light in the room suddenly became much darker.
Ning Wei saw a book placed by Jiang Xingyu's bedside, took it and sat at the table by the window to read.
Ning Wei looked at the cover, the second volume of "Traveling to Famous Mountains".
Ning Wei flipped through it and saw that it was a book introducing famous mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River.
Ning Wei was stunned for a moment, her palms were preparing for the trip.
Ning Wei lowered her head and looked.
About half an hour later, Hanmei poked her head in at the door and asked softly: "Miss Ning, it's time to eat. Your servant will bring your food to the outside, okay?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Okay, thank you very much!"
Ning Wei put down the book in her hand and walked quietly to the outside.
Ning Wei didn't feel hungry. After eating half a bowl of rice, she put down her chopsticks and said to Hanmei, "I'm done eating. Let's move on."
Hanmei bent her knees and responded, "Yes."
Ning Wei thought that Jiang Xingyu wouldn't wake up for a while, and it would be boring for her to sit alone. She looked up at Hanmei and asked, "Can you go find some books for me?"
Hanmei nodded and said: "Okay, I can go and ask Fourth Master for it. What kind of book does Miss Ning want to read?"
Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "It's just to kill time, any book will do."
Hanmei bent her knees and responded, "Okay, I'll go find Fourth Master and bring some books over."
After Hanmei left, Ning Wei returned to the inner room and continued reading the unfinished book.
Soon, Hanmei came in softly and said softly: "Miss Ning, the book is here."
Ning Wei looked up and saw Hanmei coming over with four books in her arms.
Ning Wei pointed to the table in front of her and whispered: "Thank you very much, just leave it here."
Hanmei put the book away and turned around to go out.
Soon, Hanmei came in with some tea and fruits, put them on the table, and said softly: "This slave just made tea."
Ning Wei looked up and saw Hanmei planning to pour her tea, smiled at her and said, "Thank you! I can do it myself."
Hanmei bowed her knees and left the house.
Ning Wei flipped through the four books sent by Hanmei, Volumes 1 and 2 of "Shishuoxinyu", and Volumes 1 and 2 of "Sou Shen Ji".
Ning Wei first finished reading the book in his hand, and then started reading "Sou Shen Ji".
Ning Wei finished reading "Sou Shen Ji" and then "Shi Shuo Xin Yu". During this period, Han Mei brought dinner over.
Ning Wei went outside to have dinner and then returned to the house to continue reading.
By the time she finished reading all four books, she looked up at the hourglass and saw that it was already time.
Ning Wei shook her neck, stood up and stretched out her hands. Her stiff body relaxed a lot.
Ning Wei secretly thought, studying is really a hard job.
When Hanmei saw Ning Wei getting up, she came over and asked, "Miss Ning, my servant will help you wash up."
"Okay!" Ning Wei followed Hanmei into the bathroom, washed herself, and then came back to rest.
When Jiang Xingyu woke up, he didn't know where he was for a moment. After a while, he came back to his senses, lifted up the quilt and planned to get up.
Ning Wei heard the noise, looked up at the bed and saw Jiang Xingyu was awake.
"Xingyu is awake!" Ning Wei put down the book in her hand, got up and walked over.
In the morning, Ning Wei asked Hanmei to return the four books from yesterday, and Jiang Xingchang asked Hanmei to send four more books, three and four volumes respectively.
Jiang Xingyu said apologetically: "Awei, I'm sorry, I fell asleep first."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you should sleep when you are tired. I will have someone come in and help you wash up."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "Okay!"
Ning Wei called out the door: "Here comes someone."
Hanmei and others were waiting at the door. When they heard the call, they came in in response.
A group of maids came in to serve Jiang Xingyu. Ning Wei had nothing to do, so she sat down again and continued reading.
Ning Wei had just read two lines when he heard a scream from the bathroom. He was so frightened that he quickly put down the book in his hand, walked over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jiang Xingyu said with great annoyance: "Ah Wei, I actually slept until midnight!"
Ning Wei asked puzzledly: "What happened to sleeping until Chen hour? You didn't close your eyes for sixteen hours. You were so sleepy that you slept for so long."
"But, I left you, I..."
Jiang Xingyu felt that he was too rude.
Ning Wei looked at Jiang Xingyu with a smile and said warmly: "Don't feel embarrassed, my mission yesterday was to let you have a good sleep.
Wash up quickly and have breakfast after washing up. Aunt Qi came here in the morning and said that the eldest and second young ladies of Weiyuan Marquis would be coming over soon."
"Sister Xing, will Sister Chen come? Is Qiu Xi's team back?"
Hanmei replied: "Yes, I'm back. I entered the city at noon yesterday."
Jiang Xingyu sat down in front of the dressing mirror again and let his servant comb his hair.
Jiang Xingyu looked at Ning Wei who was combing her hair and said, "Awei, I couldn't bear to apologize for yesterday. How boring it is for you to stay here alone with me."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "It's a big deal between the two of us. I got some books from Fourth Brother Jiang. They are very interesting and not boring."
"Reading? Fourth brother's books are more boring than sitting alone."
Ning Wei said: "How could it be? Strange novels are quite interesting."
"That's okay. I thought Fourth Brother only had books like the Four Books and Five Classics."
After Jiang Xingyu finished dressing, he turned around and went outside to have breakfast.
Ning Wei had had breakfast and was sitting reading a book.
Halfway through the meal, a servant came in and reported: "Miss, the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the second lady, the eldest lady of the Chengguo Mansion, the second lady came over to express condolences, and now they are coming to Biyun Pavilion."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "I understand."
After the servants retreated, Jiang Xingyu drank all the porridge in the bowl and said to Hanmei, "I'm done eating. Let's move on."
Jiang Xingyu said to Ning Wei: "Ah Wei, let's go out to greet Sister Xing and the others."
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Okay!" She put down the book in her hand and followed Jiang Xingyu out.
The two of them walked into the courtyard and saw the gatekeeper leading several young ladies and a group of maids over.
Shi Jingchen was walking in front and when he saw Jiang Xingyu and Ning Wei, he felt happy and wanted to rush over with a smile on his face.
Suddenly I thought that I was here to pay my respects, and it seemed inappropriate to be too cheerful, so I quickly put away the smile on my face.
He stretched out his hand and walked quickly towards Jiang Xingyu, "Zhangzhu."
Jiang Xingyu held Shi Jingchen's hand and said, "Come on, laugh if you want to, don't pretend to be serious."
After a night's rest, Jiang Xingyu's eyes had swollen, and apart from his throat being a little hoarse, he had no other discomfort.
Seeing that Jiang Xingyu looked good, Shi Jingxing didn't say any more words of comfort.
When Wu Mingyi saw Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu standing together, an unknown fire suddenly arose in her heart. She said angrily: "I thought we were here early, but I didn't expect Miss Ning to be earlier than us."
Ning Wei stood aside, wanting to wait until they greeted Jiang Xingyu before greeting everyone.
Unexpectedly, Wu Mingyi stared at him as soon as he arrived, smiled and replied: "I have nothing to do at home, so I came a little early. Please invite everyone to the room."
Jiang Xingyu echoed: "Yes, yes, we invite you in the house."
When Wu Mingyi saw Ning Wei greeting everyone like a master, she felt even more disgusted with Ning Wei.
He smiled and said: "Miss Ning, you're welcome. When we come to Zhangzhu, it's just like going back to your own home. It's very casual. When it comes to Miss Ning, don't be restrained and just feel free to do it."
Shi Jingxing heard the thorn in Wu Mingyi's words and replied with a smile: "Zhangzhu is easy-going and doesn't stick to trivial matters. When you get along with her, no one will be restrained. Let's go, let's go inside and sit down to talk."
Ning Wei nodded with a smile, looked at Wu Mingyi and said, "Miss Shi is right, Zhangzhu has a good temperament, is kind and generous, and is very popular. What did Miss Wu say? Right?"
Wu Mingyi's hostility left Ning Wei confused and speechless.
Ning Wei's words made Wu Mingyi itch with hatred. Shi Jingxing looked at Ning Wei and then at Wu Mingyi. He was afraid that the two of them would carry him, so he hurried over and took Wu Mingyi's hand, "Let's go, let's go into the house first."
Wu Mingyi smiled contemptuously at Ning Wei, then walked past Ning Wei with a stern face, and walked forward with Shi Jingxing.
Shi Jingchen turned around to say hello to Ning Wei, and happened to see this scene. He looked at the backs of Shi Jingxing and Wu Danyi with confusion, and asked: "Awei, what's wrong with Sister Yi? Did you mess with her?"
Ning Wei twitched the corner of her mouth, smiled dryly, and said: "You are all here, did anyone see me messing with Miss Wu?"
Shi Jingchen said apologetically: "Ah Wei, don't be angry, I have no other intention."
After saying that, Shi Jingchen looked at Wu Mingyao and asked, "What's wrong with my eldest cousin? You were fine just now, why are you so embarrassed all of a sudden?"
Wu Mingyao shook his head with a confused look on his face. "I don't know, I was fine just now."
Jiang Xingyu looked at Wu Mingyi in front of him, frowned slightly and said to Shi Jingchen, "You two go in first."
After saying that, he walked to Ning Wei and asked: "A Wei, are you okay?"
Last time, Wu Mingyi targeted Ning Wei at the party at Fengle House, which made Jiang Xingyu very unhappy.
When we first met today, Wu Mingyi gave Ning Wei a look. Ning Wei was her guest, so Wu Mingyi didn't give her any face at all.
Jiang Xingyu was annoyed.
When Ning Wei saw that Jiang Xingyu looked wrong, he smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei's hand and said, "Let's go in."
Ning Wei didn't want Jiang Xingyu to be caught in the middle, and was about to leave. Before she could say anything, Jiang Xingyu said first, "Awei, you are my guest, and I don't want you to compromise."
Jiang Xingyu spoke calmly, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Ning Wei saw that Jiang Xingyu was angry and said softly: "Zhangzhu, you are thinking too much. Really, nothing happened just now! I am not wronged either.
I want to go back early because my family is hosting a thank you party for my brother tomorrow.
You know the situation of my family. My brother has just started his own business.
This is the first banquet in the family, and all relatives and friends, the clan leader and other elders in the clan will be there.
My brother is not good at taking care of general affairs, and my grandmother is old, so I have to take care of many things.
How about I come over to accompany you after you are busy tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Jiang Xingyu stared at Ning Wei, trying to see from her expression whether what she said was true.
Ning Wei saw Jiang Xingyu staring at her and said with a smile: "What? You still don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can ask your cousins. They all know it."
"How could I not believe you? Come on, I will take you out. You will pass by Jiang Mansion on your way back. I will give you the banknote." Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei's hand and walked out.
Ning Wei looked inside and said, "Isn't this good? You still have guests here. How can the host walk away and leave the guests to play by themselves? The matter of the banknote is not urgent. After these few days of busy work, there is no reason for the host to walk away.
Let’s talk about it later.”
"There's nothing wrong with them. They come to Biyun Pavilion as if they were coming from home. They are very casual. Go tell Sister Xing and the others, and I'll see Ah Wei off."
Jiang Xingyu explained to Hanmei.
The winter plum blossoms bend at the knees to bear down.
Ning Wei saw that Jiang Xingyu insisted on sending it away, so he let her go.
"Miss, where are you going?" The two of them had just left Biyun Pavilion. Jin Xin and Hu Rui, who were sitting on the corridor, saw them and stood up to ask.
Ning Wei smiled and said: "I'm going back, Xingyu will see me off."
Hu Rui heard Ning Wei say he wanted to go back, "Then go ahead and let Xu Yan drive the car to the door."
"Okay! Xingyu, you go back to greet the guests quickly. There's no need to send them off. We'll talk about that another day. It's not a hurry."
Ning Wei responded first, then turned around and urged Jiang Xingyu to go back.
Jiang Xingyu refused to listen and insisted: "Then I'll take you to the car!"
"Oh well!"
Jiang Xingyu sent Ning Wei to the gate where the carriage was parked, and said softly: "Ah Wei, I can't help myself today."
Ning Wei squeezed her hand and said, "Okay, I'm really fine, don't take this matter to your heart."
"Zhangzhu, Ah Wei." Jiang Xingchang's voice came from behind.
