Shopkeeper Qin smiled and bowed to Ning He and said, "Thank you for your patronage. Miss, go slowly. Welcome to visit me next time."
Seeing that shopkeeper Qin gave five thousand silver notes to Ning Wei, Ning He had already listed shopkeeper Qin as Ning Wei.
His smile at this moment was full of ridicule and ridicule in Ning He's eyes, making Ning He feel extremely annoying!
Ning He gave shopkeeper Qin a cold look and quickly walked to the stairs.
Ye Zhanyu had been interested in the clothes in Deyifang for a long time, and finally asked Ning He out, but she left in despair before she even bought the clothes.
Ye Zhanyu was unwilling and resentful, and muttered: "Sister He, why are you leaving?"
Yang Xin looked at Ye Ning He who was angrily walking away in front. She stretched out her hand to pull Ye Zhanyu and whispered: "Don't say a word. Sister He is angry. Isn't it the same if we go to Tangbo or Xiuxiufang?"
Ye Zhanyu said dissatisfied: "But the clothes I'm interested in are not available in the two houses. Besides, it's not a matter of which house we go to. I mean, why should we leave?"
Yang Xinye said angrily: "Then Sister He and I will wait for you downstairs. You buy some clothes and come down quickly."
It’s a joke. If you buy it yourself, then what does she ask Ning He to do?
If she had bought it herself, she would have bought it long ago, why would she have to wait until today?
Yang Xinye saw Ye Zhanyu's thoughts and whispered: "Sister He is very concerned about face. Don't you think Sister He has been embarrassed enough today? If you want Sister He to dig into your pocket, we'd better follow her."
After saying that, Yang Xinye quickened his pace to catch up with Ning He in front.
When Ye Zhanyu saw Yang Xin Ye walking forward, he also hurriedly caught up with her.
"Why is it that Sister He is embarrassed? It's obviously Ning Wei who is so poor that she is embarrassed.
Sister He was so impatient that she fell into the pit dug by Ning Wei and was defrauded of 10,000 taels of silver by Ning Wei and the store owner."
Yang Xinye slowed down and nodded: "You are right."
Ye Zhanyu curled his lips and continued: "However, Sister He's habit of using money to hit people needs to be corrected.
Most of the people who come in and out of a shop like this are high-ranking people, and these people can't bear to see the worldly people the most. Only Sister He is the only one who always shows off her power by showing off her banknotes. It's unbearable to watch."
Ye Zhanyu couldn't hide the disgust in his words.
Yang Xinye looked at the empty stairs and warned in a low voice: "If you still want Sister He to pay for your clothes, just stop what you just said."
After saying that, Yang Xinye quickened his pace.
Ye Zhanyu caught up with him and said as he walked: "I only talked to you, not to anyone else."
Yang Xinye turned around and glared at Ye Zhanyu, "Shut up."
Ye Zhanyu whispered: "I know!"
The two caught up with Ning He at the gate of Deyifang and stood together waiting for the bus.
Seeing the car coming, Ye Zhanyu said: "The car is coming, let's go, let's go to the Tang silk shop."
Yang Xinye was worried that Ning He was in a bad mood and would not want to continue shopping, so he advised: "He'er, this shopkeeper is too unkind, let's go shopping elsewhere."
Ye Zhanyu echoed: "The shopkeeper of Deyifang is so out of character. Let's not patronize his house again in the future."
After listening to Yang Xinye and Ye Zhanyu's words, Ning He's mood improved a lot. "Get in the car, let's go to Jiexiufang."
On the second floor of Deyifang, Princess Changle followed Ning Wei and said to the man beside her: "Cousin, I'm going to take a look around."
The young man is none other than Concubine Zhen's nephew Yuan Yunze and her son Mu Qing.
Yuan Yunze whispered to the people around him: "Protect the princess."
The servant bows down and obeys.
Shopkeeper Qin sent Ning He and his party away and turned to look for Yuan Yunze.
"Shop Manager Qin, the young master is waiting for you in the house."
Shopkeeper Qin thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Cong."
After saying that, shopkeeper Qin went to the third floor. Cheng An, who was guarding the door, leaned forward and said, "Master said, when the shopkeeper comes, go in directly."
Shopkeeper Qin bowed, raised his hand to knock on the door, pushed the door open and went in. He bowed to the young man standing by the window and said, "Hello, sir, when did you return to Beijing? Is the old lady okay?"
"I've been back for two days. Grandma is fine."
Yuan Yunze nodded, pointed to the chair opposite the desk, and motioned for Shopkeeper Qin to sit down.
Shopkeeper Qin bowed and thanked him, then walked to the table and sat down.
After Cheng An served tea, Yuan Yunze asked: "Whose family is that young lady today? Why does the shopkeeper want to help her? Do you know her?"
Shopkeeper Qin shook his head and said: "I don't know Miss Ning, but I know the troublemaker, the second young lady from the residence of Ning, the official from the Ministry of Industry, who often hangs out here.
After hearing the whole story, I guessed that the person Miss Ning Er was targeting was Miss Ning, the daughter of Ning Yuanwailang's first wife."
With that said, shopkeeper Qin carefully discussed the recent events in the capital with Yuan Yunze.
After hearing this, Yuan Yunze said thoughtfully: "Ning Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry is very close to Wan Zhentian. Miss Ning Er will be the concubine of Prince Chen... Today's matter was handled well. This month's salary will be doubled."
.”
Shopkeeper Qin bowed and thanked him.
Yuan Yunze said: "It's autumn, so load the princess's autumn clothes and winter clothes into the car. By the way, His Highness the Prince sent fox skins to make a cloak for the princess. If there are more, we will make a fur for the princess."
.”
Shopkeeper Qin bowed and responded: "Yes, I understand."
On the second floor, Princess Changle followed to the middle-aged and elderly ready-made clothing area and asked with a smile: "Miss Ning, are you going to buy clothes for the elders in the family?"
Ning Wei didn't expect Princess Changle to come here, let alone strike up a conversation with her. Fu Shen said, "Yes, I want to pick out clothes for my grandmother and aunt."
Princess Changle took two steps forward side by side with Ning Wei, while Ning Wei quietly trailed half a step behind.
Princess Changle turned her head to look at Ning Wei and introduced herself, "My name is Zhou Jingxiu. I am Paijiu at home. You can call me Miss Jiu."
Seeing that Princess Changle was unwilling to reveal her identity, Ning Wei pretended not to know and called obediently: "Hello, Miss Ninth! I'm Ning Wei."
"Did that young lady just have a problem with Miss Ning?" Princess Changle slowed down and walked side by side with Ning Wei again.
Ning Wei smiled bitterly and said truthfully: "She was my half-sister."
"Was it?" Princess Changle stopped and looked at Ning Wei and asked in confusion.
Princess Changle didn't understand that the sisters still had Zeng.
Ning Wei nodded, and then explained: "It's Zeng, my father wrote a divorce letter and kicked my brother and I out. So it's not good to call her sister anymore. It's not good to talk to Miss Ninth about some family scandals."
Princess Changle looked at Ning Wei in shock. Is there such a hateful father in the world?
Although Princess Changle was curious, when it came to other people's family matters, Princess Changle couldn't ask anymore.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to pry!"
Ning Wei smiled at Princess Changle, "It doesn't matter, this matter is not a secret. Many people in the capital know it. Because of this matter, the emperor was still furious in the court. Is Miss Ninth here to buy clothes?"
The father was angry because of this. It seemed that this matter was not a trivial matter, so he went back to find his brother to find out.
Princess Changle shook her head first, then nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm going to order a cloak. The main reason is that I haven't been out for a long time and I'm going out for a walk today."
Ning Wei smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Ning Wei was always half a step behind her, Princess Changle asked tentatively: "Miss Ning, do you know who I am?"
Ning Wei nodded slightly and prepared to give Princess Changle a gift.
Changle grabbed Ning Wei's hand and said softly: "I don't want others to recognize me, so there is no need to be polite."
Ning Wei understood and replied softly: "Yes, the daughter of the people understands."
Princess Changle let go of Ning Wei's hand, looked at her curiously and asked, "How did Miss Ning recognize me?"
Princess Changle rarely leaves the palace when she is in the palace. Even when she does leave the palace, she keeps a very low profile and few people recognize her.
Ning Wei thought about how to answer Princess Changle. She couldn't say that she had met her in her previous life.
Just when Ning Wei was feeling worried, she saw the brocade handkerchief in Princess Changle's hand, raised her chin and said softly: "Miss Ninth's handkerchief."
Princess Changle looked down at the brocade handkerchief in her hand. When she saw the word "Changle" on the corner of the handkerchief, she couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Miss Ning has a very careful heart."
Ning Weifu said: "Miss Ninth, you've received the award."
Princess Changle looked at the calm and generous Ning Wei, stepped forward and took Ning Wei's hand in a familiar manner, and asked: "Miss Ning bought clothes for the old lady because there is a happy event at home?"
Ning Wei lowered her head and looked at Princess Changle's hand. Does this mean that the princess is willing to be friends with her?
What can I do? The first time I met, I was favored by the princess!
Ning Wei was quite moved and said truthfully: "My brother Qiu Wei has achieved good results in second place, and there will be a thank-you banquet at the mansion tomorrow. So I bought new clothes for my brother and grandmother to celebrate."
"Second place! Congratulations!" Princess Changle congratulated. "This purple brocade dress is extremely festive and suitable for a good day like tomorrow. Liu'er, please wrap it up for Miss Ning according to the old lady's size. Ning
Is there an aunt in the young lady’s house?”
Princess Changle pointed to the purple brocade clothes in front of her and directed Liu'er to pack them.
"Yes, my aunt lives with us. Miss Ninth, no need... does this shop belong to Miss Ninth?"
Seeing Princess Changle directing Liu'er to pack, Ning Wei suddenly thought of something and asked.
Princess Changle smiled and said, "Yes, this shop is the dowry of my mother-in-law. My family has been a cloth merchant for several generations, and it was my mother-in-law's grandfather who took the imperial examination and entered the official career."
Princess Changle chose two clothes for Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang. When she had to choose again, Ning Wei refused to give in, and Princess Changle stopped.
After choosing the clothes, when it came time to pay the bill, Princess Changle refused to accept it when it was her turn.
"Thank you very much, Miss Ninth, that girl will be disrespectful."
Knowing that there will be a banquet at Ning Wei's house tomorrow, Princess Changle will stay soon and send Ning Wei out. Ning Wei is so shocked that she says she can't help it.
Princess Changle said: "It doesn't matter. In this way, we can talk more. In the future, can I invite you to the palace to talk?"
After saying that, without waiting for Ning Wei's reply, Princess Changle continued: "Forget it, calling you into the palace will cause you trouble, so I'll come to find you. Can I come to talk to you?"
Ning Wei hurriedly said: "It is the honor of a folk girl to talk to Miss Ninth. A folk girl lives in Mingyuan in Minghui Lane. If Miss Ninth has time, she can just send someone to inform her at any time."
Princess Changle said: "Okay, let's meet at Deyifang from now on, how about that?"
Ning Weifu said: "Yes, the daughter of the people has written it down."
Ning Wei got into the car and drove far away. Ning Wei was still in a daze. Today she unexpectedly met Princess Changle.
In her previous life, she met Princess Changle for the first time in the Queen's Kunning Palace.
Later, the emperor arranged for Princess Changle to be married to Liu Jinrui, the third master of the prime minister's office. However, she died in childbirth the second year after the marriage, killing one and two. For this reason, the emperor was so sad that he did not go to court for three days...
Hu Rui was full of questions and wanted to ask Ning Wei, but saw that Ning Wei was leaning against the carriage with her eyes closed and concentrating, so he didn't dare to interrupt.
Ning Wei returned to Mingyuan and saw that Yue Niang had arranged everything in the house. After thanking Yue Niang, she chatted with Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang in the hall, then stood up to say goodbye and prepared to go back to the house to rest.
Mrs. Qian thought she hadn't had a good rest at night, so she said, "Go and have a rest quickly to recuperate your energy. You'll be busy tomorrow."
Ning Wei bowed and thanked her.
After returning to the house, Ning Wei fell asleep and woke up in the evening.
After dinner, the family sat together and drank tea. After discussing tomorrow's affairs, Ning Wei went to check everywhere and looked at the things for tomorrow's use one by one. After confirming that they were correct, she returned to the house.
After Ning Wei had washed up and was about to take a rest, Hu Rui came in. Ning Wei saw that she looked wrong and asked, "Is there something wrong, sir?"
Hu Rui leaned forward and said, "Miss, the Crown Prince is here."
Ning Wei was stunned at first, she had completely forgotten about him.
Ning Wei thought for a moment and said, "Invite Prince Shi to the living room. I'll be there right away."
When Hu Rui heard that someone had been invited to the living room, he said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, miss, I have already let the prince into the room, and he is in the Nuan Pavilion at this time."
Ning Wei sighed and said: "Then let's warm the pavilion. I'll be there right away."
Hu Rui retreated.
Ning Wei took the coat from Zaohua, put it on, and walked to the Nuan Pavilion.
Ning Wei entered the Nuan Pavilion and saw Shi Jingyang standing by the window, one hand behind his back and the other hand shaking the folding fan.
Hearing the sound at the door, Shi Jingyang turned around and looked over, smiling at Ning Weiying: "It's only the first quarter of the year, are you ready to rest?"
Ning Wei walked to the table and sat down, and said casually: "I have to get up early tomorrow."
Shi Jingyang walked to sit across from Ning Wei, reached out and poured Ning Wei a cup of tea, and said without any shame: "Excuse me, I just wanted to talk to you when I came back from the paddock. I came here last night, but you were not at home."
"Did you come here last night?" Ning Wei took the tea cup from Shi Jingyang and raised her head and asked.
Shi Jingyang nodded and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Been here, Qiao Yi said you were in Qi Mansion."
He was so anxious to find her, could something happen in the paddock? Ning Wei's heart suddenly became anxious.
"How was it? Didn't go well? Couldn't stop Liu Jinrui from saving Shengjia?"
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "Things went very smoothly. Compared with the previous Qiu Xiang, there are big differences. This time, the imperial concubines did not succeed."
Ning Wei's heart dropped, she put down the cup in her hand, straightened her body and asked: "The imperial concubine didn't succeed? So, Qiu Xiang, the imperial concubine and the others had already taken action this time? Did they originally plan to take action?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "They did make arrangements, but the plan was disrupted by us."
Shi Jingyang took a sip of tea and told Ning Wei what happened in the past few days.
Shi Jingyang was very patient and spoke in detail.
Ning Wei listened very seriously. After Shi Jingyang finished speaking, Ning Wei asked: "His Royal Highness, did you attack King Chen?"
