There are regulations on drinking in the mansion. When Jiuniang said this, she glanced at Ning Wei secretly and saw that Ning Wei was not angry.
Then he said: "After finishing cleaning the kitchen, I remembered that I only gave Mr. wine, but no food or drinks.
The servant quickly cooked two side dishes and brought them over, but saw two gentlemen doing something together in the yard."
Jiuniang didn't say the rest of the words, but her words rose up, with a strong flavor of gossip.
Ning Wei looked at Jiuniang, whose eyebrows were raised and she looked interested, and asked softly: "What is that?"
Jiuniang pursed her lips and smiled, moved closer to Ning Wei, and whispered to her: "This servant saw Mr. Hu pressing Mr. Wei against the pillar of the corridor, and Mr. Hu even kissed Mr. Wei."
"Really? When did it happen last night?" Ning Wei was so shocked that she covered her mouth and tried to suppress her voice.
"What I saw with my own eyes is absolutely true. At that time, around Xu Zheng, everyone else had stopped and the yard was very quiet. Mr. Hu's temper was so hot."
No wonder something was wrong with Hu Rui today. She obviously agreed to go to Dongshui Pier last night. In the morning, she suddenly said that she had a stomachache and refused to go with her to the pier. Just now she was sneaking around...
Is this because you are afraid of being embarrassed by Uncle Wei, so you avoid Uncle Wei?
"I understand. I'm going to keep this in my stomach and not tell anyone else. Do you understand?" Ning Wei warned.
Jiuniang nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, young lady, I know the importance of this. I only told the young lady about this matter, and no one else."
Ning Wei lowered her head to cut the kidneys and said to Jiuniang: "Fry the fish and come over and help me cut the beef. I will make the sauce for the squirrel fish later."
"Okay, slave girl will come." Jiuniang responded crisply.
Next, Ning Wei made a dish of stir-fried beef, a dish of palace-fried kidneys, a dish of tofu dipped in sauce, and a refreshing lotus root dish.
"Okay, let's prepare the food. Send my food to my brother's room, and I'll go eat with him," Ning Wei said.
After coming out of the kitchen, Ning Wei went to Ning Yu's place.
When Ning Yu saw Ning Wei come in, he pointed to the chair beside the bed and motioned for her to sit.
Ning Wei sat down and said to Yun Xing: "You go down to eat, and I will take care of your brother."
Ning Yu saw Ning Wei's happy face and asked, "Has Wei met something happy?"
Ning Wei filled half a bowl of chicken soup, stirred and blew it with a spoon, and waited for the chicken soup to cool down.
"Well, consider it a happy event."
Ning Yu opened his mouth to catch the chicken soup brought by Ning Wei, swallowed it and asked: "What happy event? Tell me, brother."
While feeding Ning Yu chicken soup, Ning Wei told Hu Rui about Hu Rui's abnormality and what Jiuniang said.
"Brother, would it be a happy event if you could pair up with Uncle Wei?"
"It depends on what Uncle Wei thinks. If Uncle Wei is also interested in Mr. and they are happy with each other, of course it will be a happy event. If Uncle Wei is not interested in Mr., it's hard to say." Ning Yu said.
In Ning Yu's view, Wei Yuan was carrying too many things and was too heavy. Otherwise, if he wanted to get married, he would have gotten married long ago.
Ning Wei thought about it and felt that what Ning Yu said was reasonable, "That being said, Uncle Wei and Mr. Wei are both good people. I really hope that they will be happy in love and stay together until they grow old."
Ning Wei wiped Ning Yu's mouth with a handkerchief, then took a piece of beef and put it in Ning Yu's mouth.
Ning Yu chewed the beef and said, "Is this beef made by Ah Wei? The meat is tender, full of flavor, and delicious. Marriage is destined by God. If Uncle Wei and Mr. Wei are destined, no one can stop you.
Don't worry about it."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Yes, brother is right. If it tastes good, eat more."
Ning Wei fed Ning Yu another bite of beef.
"Ah Wei, you should eat too. The food will not taste good after a while when it gets cold." Ning Yu said.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll eat when I'm done. The room is warm and won't get cold for a while."
Ning Wei took care of Ning Yu to eat well, and then started eating herself.
After dinner, Ning Wei chatted with Ning Yu again before leaving.
Ning Wei opened the curtain and was about to go out. When she looked up and saw Shi Jingyang standing at the door, she was startled for a moment, then took a step back and said politely: "Hello, Prince Shi."
Shi Jingyang returned the gift with his hand, "A Wei is here with Yingzhe!"
Ning Wei nodded and responded: "Yes, Shi Shizi comes to see my brother? Please come to the house!"
"Okay!" Shi Jingyang smiled at Ning Wei, and when he passed by Ning Wei, he whispered: "I will come find you later and tell you something."
Ning Wei nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the study."
Ning Wei came out of Ning Yu's room and turned to go to the study.
Zaohua brought tea in, and Ning Wei asked: "Has Marquis Weiyuan left?"
Zaohua bent her knees and said, "Miss, the Marquis has not left yet. At this moment, the Marquis, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Wei, and Mr. Wei are drinking tea and talking in the living room."
"When did Prince Shi arrive?" Ning Wei asked.
Zaohua replied: "Shi Shizi arrived before dinner. At that time, the lady was busy in the kitchen."
"I know, go down." Ning Wei said.
When Zaohua stepped back, Ning Wei took the account from the desk and flipped it over. She flipped through the account from beginning to end, but she couldn't read a single word.
His mind was thinking about the visit of Marquis Weiyuan for a while, and Hu Rui and Wei Yuan for a while.
Why did the Marquis come to the house today? In Ning Wei's heart, she respected the Marquis very much.
In her previous life, in the first year after she married into the Hou family, rumors spread all over the world.
Ning He and Zhao would find various reasons to come to the house and send rumors from outside to the Hou Mansion to embarrass her.
After hearing those rumors, she was so ashamed that she couldn't hold her head up and locked herself in the courtyard all day long.
Perhaps the Marquis also heard those unsavory rumors. At a family banquet, the Marquis first told Mrs. Hou that from now on, irrelevant people would come to visit her, and they would rarely or never see her.
As the head of a family, you must know the difference between closeness and distance, and you must know how to protect your family.
Then, the Marquis said to her, Ah Wei, rumors are like a gust of wind. After the wind blows, they disperse, so she should not take it to heart.
After saying that, the Marquis also told Shi Jingfan, Shi Jingxing, and Shi Jingchen that Ah Wei is your eldest sister-in-law, and you must respect her and love her.
Ning Wei couldn't remember how she returned to her small courtyard that night. She couldn't sleep for a long time that night. It was the warmest day in her more than ten years of life.
Since then, for a long time, Ning He and Zhao did not visit again.
Marquis Weiyuan was very busy, and she rarely saw him in the mansion.
When I see him, it's mostly during family banquets or New Year's holidays.
Mr. Hou was very gentle with his family, and Shi Jingxing and Shi Jingchen were very close to him.
The Marquis treats Mrs. Hou very well. When eating, the Marquis will serve Mrs. Hou with dishes and pick fish bones for her.
When drinking tea, Mr. Hou will peel nuts for Mrs. Hou and put Mrs. Hou's favorite food in front of Mrs. Hou.
In this regard, Shi Shizi followed the Marquis...
"What are you looking at? I was so absorbed in it that I didn't even hear the knock on the door." Shi Jingyang came over and said.
The sudden sound frightened Ning Wei and she threw away the account book in her hand.
Shi Jingyang bent down to pick up the account book and asked in a warm voice: "What were you thinking about just now? You were so absorbed in thinking."
