MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 111 The first one is Xiaoya
Chapter 111 The first one is Xiaoya
Pei You's call was not too loud, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear.
Wen Ning had to stop and turn around. There was a big Buddha opposite, she didn't dare to raise her eyes to stare at Pei You, so she reluctantly stood back behind him.
At first, he thought that Pei You kept her here because he wanted to watch her serving tea and pouring water, and did not want to wait for the people around to retreat. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and said softly, "Ah Ning, I have seen Your Highness."
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized.
Is this... going to block her again?
But she was not allowed to think too much. She immediately resumed her female posture, and bowed her knees properly to Chu Heng: "Pei Wen has seen His Highness, and His Highness laughed."
I don't know if it's her illusion, when she called herself "Pei Wen's", Pei You seemed to squint her eyes comfortably, looking quite useful.
Wen Ning raised his eyes and glanced over, his expression was as usual, and he didn't see anything unusual.
"My cousin is very polite, please sit down quickly." Chu Heng stood up directly and waited for the acceptance. Considering his status, he was very courteous.
Wen Ning's complexion remained unchanged, she only lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and sat down beside Pei You obediently.
"Cousin and cousin are newlyweds, and they play the piano together, which is so enviable." Chu Heng sat down opposite the two, smiling harmlessly.
Wen Ning only intends to keep his eyes open and his heart in check, and act as a wooden stake next to Pei You like the saint who entered the palace before.
But he didn't want his foot under the table to be kicked.
She glanced at Pei You immediately, he just lowered his eyes and drank his tea, as if he hadn't done anything.
The co-author not only wants her to block the knife, but also wants to use her as a knife, right?
Wen Ning raised her eyebrows, that was a different price.
She reached out and poured herself a cup of tea without opening her mouth.
Chu Heng was also tactful, the husband and wife did not speak, and did not let the scene cool down, but immediately said: "How long does my cousin plan to stay in Qiantang? The autumn scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful, and I plan to spend more time. You can go with your cousin."
Pei You glanced at Wen Ning lightly: "It's up to Ah Ning."
Wen Ning keenly grasped the threat in his words.
She just looked at the map of Qiantang in the carriage for so long, and he knew that she had something to do in Qiantang.
Wen Ning took a deep breath, and looked at Pei You with a smile: "My husband is really considerate."
Threatened her, right?
"Your Highness, Husband, Ah Ning is very tired after a long journey today, can you go first..."
She didn't believe that Pei You would stop doing official business because of her lack of cooperation at this time. It was enough haste in Qiantang Three Days, could he shorten the time even further?
She also knew Pei You's intentions.
Now that Prince Pei is very popular, everyone can see His Majesty's appreciation and importance. King Rui has already broken his face with him, unless he can lick his face before "seeking peace", the two will not deal with each other is a foregone conclusion.
The fourth prince is only seventeen years old. Although he has outstanding talents, his foundation in the court is still shallow, and his biological mother is just an ordinary court lady, so she can't provide him with much help.
Compared to King Rui, who has been in the imperial court for many years, has the backing of his mother clan, and has married a daughter of the Xie family, he is much weaker.
But now there is a great opportunity in front of him.
Not to mention the enemy's enemy is an ally, even if Pei You and King Rui didn't have an enemy, he should do his best to win him over and bring him under his command.
With the help of the Duke's Mansion, his road to succession will be much smoother.
But Pei You, who disdains to be with King Rui, has not fallen into the camp of the fourth prince.
Wen Ning didn't know whether he was too lofty and conceited, and didn't want to pay attention to the solicitations of others, or whether he had seen through early on that neither of them was a candidate for a virtuous monarch, so he ignored them.
The things he encountered in this life were different from those in his previous life, but his xinxing was always the same.
The fourth prince obviously came prepared, maybe he traveled thousands of miles from the capital to wait for him here. Pei Youcai offended King Rui just now, probably because he didn't want to quarrel with the Fourth Prince any more, so he pushed her out.
With a female family member, how can it be convenient for Chu Heng to talk about serious matters with him?
But this is his business, she will not accept his threat.
Wen Ning was about to say the word "retire", but Pei You interrupted her: "But the embroidered sachet hurts your eyes?"
He looked at her sideways, his dark eyes were calm and his voice was not fluctuating: "If you want to embroider, you can embroider ten or eight more when you return to Beijing, and no one will stop you. It's already hard work outside, why rush for a while? "
Ten eight?
One is two thousand taels, ten is twenty thousand taels!
Ha, this is fine!
Wen Ning immediately smiled shyly: "Mr. Lau, you are bothering. Ah Ning is not tired, but a little...hungry. Can we... have dinner first?"
Sitting opposite, Chu Heng couldn't understand their brows and eyes, and patted his thigh: "Look at me, it's my younger brother who didn't treat me well."
Then shouted out: "Fan Liu, Chuan Shan!"
Once the conditions were negotiated, Wen Ning cooperated very well.
She knew something about Jiangnan, but she didn't know enough about it. She was so curious about everything here, even if there was a dish she hadn't seen before, she could ask for a long time.
Pei You is worthy of being well-read, and the fourth prince is no different. No matter what she asks, the two can talk freely.
So after a dinner, Wen Ning successfully prevented Chu Heng's ulterior motives from opening his mouth, and the three of them did not stand in the cold, and seemed to be in harmony.
Chu Heng wanted to invite Pei You several times but was interrupted by Wen Ning. In the end, he didn't mention it at all, but he kept smiling gently on his face, without any irritation.
When she was leaving, Wen Ning bowed slowly to Chu Heng: "A Ning longs for Jiangnan, but has never had the opportunity to leave the capital. This time, A Ning is headstrong and came with her husband, who loves her, so he may take care of me more , if there is anything that neglects His Highness, please don't blame His Highness."
She has learned from her husband solidly for several years to be a lady of the family. How can such words on the table rarely defeat her?
On the carriage to the official station, Pei You held a teacup with a half-smile: "It seems that madam not only understands Pei, Jiangnan, but also the affairs of the court."
Look, it's no wonder she was guarding against Pei You.
She made a little performance tonight, and he noticed something was wrong.
She is a little girl in her boudoir who is only in her early sixteens, so she can talk to Jiangnan one by one. How can she see the fourth prince's intentions, and also see Pei You's position, and block the trouble for him strictly? ?
I'm afraid that the kick he kicked her tonight may not be because he can't do anything to Chu Heng, but to test the depth of her knife while using her as a knife.
He is always good at killing two birds with one stone.
Wen Ning looked at the night view of Qiantang outside the window with her chin in her hand, so she ignored him.
She won't tell him why, but if he has the ability, he will open her heart and have a look.
Arriving at the official post, Wen Ning was lying on the bed after taking a bath, and then realized, no, Pei You's departure just now was clearly killing three birds with one stone.
He also managed to stop her, preventing her from going to the shopkeeper to inquire about those drug dealers.
Then she must have a chance to act alone tomorrow.
When Pei You also came back from the bath, Wen Ning looked at him flatteringly: "My lord, I like this Qiantang very much, can you let me go for a stroll in the town tomorrow?"
Pei You has bathed and washed her hair. At this time, her long hair is half dry, her eyelashes are still a little wet, and her wet eyes are rare to look a little cute.
But what he said was not very well-behaved.
"No."
He sat down on the edge of the bed with his robe lifted, and naturally half-lyed beside Wen Ning: "I'm going to the county government office tomorrow, and you, as my school boy, will be my attendant."
Bullshit!
If Wang Qinsheng is really indispensable, why did he keep him in the capital?
Wen Ning turned over angrily, with her back to Pei You.
You shouldn’t be using the name “Wang Qinsheng”. Even though you’re wearing men’s clothing now, you still have to pretend to be a night watchman for him and live in the same room as him.
Wen Ning didn't speak, and neither did Pei You, just took the volume of the book and sat on the bedside to read it.
Wen Ning thought for a while, but she was still angry. She turned over and said in a soft tone, "I just want to open another pharmacy in the capital. There are a few pharmacies in the south of the Yangtze River. I want to meet them."
Pei You didn't seem surprised, without raising his eyes: "Why do you want to open a pharmacy?"
"Brother and sister-in-law both like it." Wen Ning said naturally, "Especially sister-in-law. I also plan to let sister-in-law join the team, and then I will sit in the pharmacy to see doctors."
Pei You then lowered his eyes to look at her.
Wen Ning knew that she was examining her, to see how much of what she said was true and what was false. She also stared at him calmly, wishing to engrave the words "I'm telling the truth" on her face.
Pei You twitched the corners of his lips after staring for a few breaths: "There are also drug dealers in the capital. When I return to Beijing, I will introduce a few to you."
"Pei Shuzhi!" Wen Ning sat up angrily.
Why did he have to fight her like this? !
Remembering that this person is soft but not strong, and arguing with him won't do any good, so he simply lay back, angrily rolled up the quilt and rolled into the corner, ignoring him.
Pei You also ignored her, staring at the book coldly with Jingliang eyes.
In the end, it was because he treated her too much. He didn't care about her deceit and deception in the past. Now that she is under the nose, she still wants to do something that he doesn't know about.
He asked her to take a look, what could she do without his permission? -
On the second day, Wen Ning followed Pei You wherever she went. If Wen Ning resisted a little, either Gu Fei or Tu Bai would definitely block her way.
She was forced to follow Pei You's side, and listened to the county magistrate's report on the situation of schools in Hangzhou Mansion all morning in the county office, and then went to check the affairs of the county office that she couldn't understand, and stood by Pei You as a "servant". Served a lunch by my side.
Seeing time passing by like water, if such a stalemate continues, the affairs of Qiantang will definitely not be able to be done.
Wen Ning began to think of ideas in her head.
Pei You has already seen through the trick of calling "Husband" delicately, and now she is not even allowed to touch the corner of her sleeve, what else can she do?
Squeeze two tears in front of him like you did with Wen Tingchun and his two elder brothers?
Impossible. The tear offensive worked for them because they loved her. If she used it to deal with Pei You, she might even be laughed at by him.
Then... Wen Ning glanced at the jade ring finger on Pei You's thumb. He said last time that he wanted her to please him, and he liked this finger ring quite a lot. If she gave him something again, he would let go as soon as he was in a good mood?
What can I give away? She didn't have a chance to buy anything either.
The anger in Wen Ning's heart was replaced by sorrow.
Pei You was always trying to please her in her previous life, how would she know how to please him?
After coming out of the county government, Pei You is going to Hangzhou again.
Wen Ning was in the carriage with him as usual, with the window ajar, she rested her chin and looked outside with a slight frown.
Could it be that her few days in Qiantang are going to pass like this?
Unexpectedly, a red shadow flashed in front of her eyes, Wen Ning's heart lit up, and she immediately shouted: "Stop, stop!"
Gu Fei and Tu Bai outside the carriage obviously didn't know what happened, so they stopped the carriage.
"I'm going to buy something, just wait for me." As soon as the car stopped, Wen Ning got out of the car excitedly.
How could she forget?
The ruthless and ruthless Mr. Pei has a favorite food.
The same food that is extremely against him, and outsiders can't think of it anyway-candied haws.
Wen Ning quickly found the red shadow just now, bought two bunches of candied haws, and returned to the carriage under the incredulous eyes of Gu Fei and Tu Bai.
"Do you want to eat it?" She took a bite of a bunch of candied haws in her hand, and handed the other bunch to Pei You very casually, "It's very sweet."
Pei You raised his dark eyes from the scroll, saw the red eyes flickering in front of him, and then his eyes fell on Wen Ning's face.
Wen Ning saw his unwavering appearance, and tilted her head.
Is this life different? She remembered what he liked to eat.
In the past, every time he bought candied haws for him, he would eat them silently. Although he still didn't smile much, he could see that he was very happy.
Pei You didn't answer, Wen Ning nana put the candied haws on the teacup aside, and let it hang in the air.
"I didn't have any copper coins, so I... bought an extra bunch." She said a little dejectedly, and then silently ate her own candied haws.
The carriage started to move again from the moment she got on, but Pei You yelled "Stop" again.
Wen Ning held half of an unfinished candied haws, with a little sugar stain on the corner of her lips, and blinked to see what Pei You was going to do.
But he heard him say in a calm voice: "One hour, if you exceed the time limit, you won't even think about going anywhere tomorrow."
Wen Ning immediately understood what he meant, and her eyes lit up with surprise: "Good!"
Quickly got out of the carriage.
Gu Fei and Tu Bai still didn't know what happened. Seeing Wen Ning jump off the carriage again, they didn't know whether to wait or follow.
Fortunately, Pei You's voice came from the car immediately, and he yelled "Tubai" in a low voice.
Tu Bai understood immediately, and put his hand on his mouth to sound an eagle whistle, and a black shadow followed Wen Ning in a corner where no one could see.
The carriage continues to move forward.
The terrain of Qiantang is flat, and there is no need to rush on the road. The wheels are busy, but the car is still stable.
The bunch of candied haws resting on the teacup was lying on it fairly smoothly.
The fresh hawthorn is so red that it looks really sweet with a ray of sunshine on the crystal clear icing.
Pei You's eyes fell on it, but he didn't reach out to take it.
The unsatisfied desire in childhood is like a gully that will never disappear.
Can't span, can't fill.
But he has never been looked at seriously.
This is the second little girl who gave him candied haws.
The first one is Xiaoya.
I don’t remember why Miss Youyou is obsessed with candied haws, you can go back and read Chapter 56~
