As soon as Ning Wei's car arrived at the second gate of Jiang Mansion, she heard a voice outside the window: "It's coming, it's coming."
Ning Wei raised the curtains and saw Jiang Xingyu there with his maid Hou, and shouted with a smile: "Zhangzhu!"
Jiang Xingyu walked over with a smile, poked his head towards the carriage, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Awei!"
Seeing Jiang Xingyu with a smile as bright as a flower, Ning Wei smiled with crooked eyebrows and took Jiang Xingyu's hand and got out of the car.
Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei to look at her, and said with a sullen face: "Have you not eaten recently? Why have you lost weight?"
Ning Wei reached out and touched her face, and said with a smile: "Is there any? It's okay! Maybe, I've been a little busy recently.
What about you? How are you doing lately? Have you finished embroidering your wedding dress?" Ning Wei changed the topic.
Jiang Xingyu said with a smile: "It's almost done. We can finish the work in two days."
"The palm beads are fine. How long has it been since? You actually embroidered the wedding dress."
Jiang Xingyu smiled and said: "How could it be embroidered in the past two days? I started embroidering when I was twelve years old, and I have been doing it intermittently for several years."
Ning Wei was shocked, "You started embroidering at the age of twelve? Isn't it too early?"
Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei's hand and walked in and said, "Aniang said, since you have to embroider sooner or later, why not start earlier? Experience from those who have experienced it, Awei, you have to prepare early! Save yourself from being in a hurry when you get there."
Ning Wei thought Jiang Xingyu was right and wondered if she should start embroidering too?
"Marriage is too complicated. From the time we set the wedding date to now, it only takes a month. People from the Ministry of Etiquette have come many times. It's so tiring!" Jiang Xingyu complained in a low voice to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei turned her head to look at Jiang Xingyu and said with a smile: "This is once in a lifetime, and you are marrying the man you like. Just be tired if you are tired, and you will be happy even if you are tired!"
Jiang Xingyu glanced at Ning Wei delicately, nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. I think that I can sleep and fly with the prince in the future. Even though I am a little tired, my heart is very sweet."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! As expected, it's like a year, isn't it? I wish my wedding was tomorrow! Huh?" Ning Wei clicked her tongue several times, leaned her head over, and joked softly with a smile.
Just when Jiang Xingyu was about to nod, he looked up at Ning Wei. Seeing Ning Wei smiling wickedly, he immediately reacted and raised his hand to hit Ning Wei, "You damn girl, how dare you make fun of me!"
Ning Wei raised her hand to block Jiang Xingyu's fist and stepped back with a smile, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong and I won't laugh at you anymore."
Jiang Xingyu chased after Ning Wei and punched Ning Wei twice, then asked with a stern face: "You are so brave! Do you dare to make fun of me again?"
Ning Wei raised her hands and admitted her mistake again and again: "Good words, good palm, spare me this time. I know I was wrong!"
Jiang Xingyu took Ning Wei's hand again and said, "For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will let you go this time. Let's go and say hello to my grandmother and mother-in-law first, and then go to my small courtyard to talk."
The two went to Mrs. Wu's yard first, and Mrs. Qi happened to be there too.
Ning Wei met Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Qi, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then followed Jiang Xingyu to her courtyard.
Mrs. Wu looked at Ning Wei's leaving figure in a daze.
Yesterday afternoon, she went back to the Duke's Mansion. She originally wanted to talk to her sister-in-law, but she never thought that her sister-in-law had been bitten by a snake.
Her sister-in-law kept talking to her all afternoon, and then she knew what had happened recently in the house.
Her sister-in-law cried to her and said that Er Rong had no conscience and would rather let Brother Le marry a widowed daughter than marry our artistic sister...
Mrs. Qi was stunned when she saw Mrs. Wu and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Wu looked away, sighed slightly, and said: "Nothing! What, Ah Wei and Zhang Zhu were born on the same day, same year, same month, and our Zhang Zhu is getting married. Where is Ah Wei? How is her marriage? It's set.
?"
Mrs. Qi shook her head and said: "I haven't heard of it before. There have been a lot of things lately, so I haven't had time to ask about it. I'll just ask Mrs. Qian later."
Mrs. Wu said: "You have always liked this girl, so go back and help arrange the arrangements for her and settle her marriage earlier."
Mrs. Qi nodded in agreement, "Mother is right, my daughter-in-law has taken note of it."
On the other side, Ning Wei followed Jiang Xingyu back to the small courtyard. The maid served tea. Jiang Xingyu wanted to say something personal to Ning Wei and sent the servant out.
Ning Wei said to Hu Rui: "Sir, bring over the sandalwood box first."
Jiang Xingyu glanced at Hu Rui, turned to Ning Wei, and asked, "What is this?"
Ning Wei took the sandalwood box from Hu Rui's hand and pushed the box in front of Jiang Xingyu, "This is the 200,000 silver I borrowed from you last time. Together with the interest, the total is 212,000 taels. You accept it first."
Down."
Jiang Xingyu opened the box and said, "Have we made money? I'm not in a hurry for money, so you can use it first."
"I've made money. Now that I have money to circulate, I'll pay back what I borrowed first. After the New Year, I'll make an accounting and distribute the dividends.
Compared with half a year ago, the price of grain on the market has more than tripled. Uncle Wei made two books of accounts, I brought you one over, you can look at it later," Ning Wei said.
Jiang Xingyu clicked on the banknotes in the box, then closed the box, stood up and put the box away.
"Okay, I'll put it away first. If you want any money, come and ask me for it anytime."
Ning Wei nodded in agreement, "Okay!"
Jiang Xingyu sat down again, and the two chatted for a while. Ning Wei said, "I came here today to pay off the debt. The main thing is to add makeup to you and enjoy your happiness!"
As soon as Ning Wei finished speaking, a servant came in and said, "Miss, the eldest lady of Duke Chengguo's residence has come over."
"I know, I'll go over right away," Jiang Xingyu said.
The servants retreat.
Ning Wei didn't want to meet Wu Mingyi face to face, so she said: "Zhangzhu, I will leave the makeup gift and go back. I will come back to see you another day."
"What a coincidence today, Miss Ning is here too?" Wu Mingyi's voice sounded at the door before Jiang Xingyu could reply.
Ning Wei didn't expect Wu Mingyi to arrive so quickly. She spread her hands helplessly towards Jiang Xingyu, then turned to look at the door with a smile, and greeted Wu Mingyi generously, "Hello, Miss Wu!"
Wu Mingyi twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled dryly, and returned the gift to Ning Wei. Then he walked straight to the table and sat down. He smiled and said to Jiang Xingyu: "Zhangzhu, I'm here to add makeup to you. Someone, please present the gift box to me."
Come up."
After speaking, Wu Mingyi raised his voice to the door and gave instructions.
Jiang Xingyu knew that Ning Wei didn't like Wu Mingyi, so he pulled her hand and said, "Awei, you should go and do some work beforehand. I will come to Mingyuan to find you another day."
Ning Wei smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back first. See you, Miss Wu!"
Ning Wei turned around and said goodbye to Wu Mingyi.
Wu Mingyi did not look at Ning Wei, but turned his hand over and over again. After a long while, he said slowly:
"Miss Ning won't leave early or late. I just arrived and Miss Ning is about to leave. What does Miss Ning mean by this? Look down on me?"
Jiang Xingyu hurriedly said: "Sister Yi, you have misunderstood Ah Wei. Something really happened to Ah Wei..."
