MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 114 cocoon

  Chapter 114 Bound in a Cocoon

   Three hundred thousand taels...

   It is a lie to say that I am not moved.

  Backing to the official post, Wen Ning still had eyes full of gold.

  It turns out that the dignitaries at this level talk about money in units of "one hundred thousand"?

  Wen Ning thumped the bed hard.

   Sure enough, Pei You's ten thousand taels is nothing at all!

It's a pity that she is not really favored and has the ability to blow Pei You's pillow in court affairs, and she clearly knows that Chu Heng is a person who can communicate with foreign countries for her own sake, no matter how tempted she is, she can't do it .

  She lay regretfully on the bed.

   Later generations blamed the Xuanping Rebellion on Emperor Jiahe's delay in establishing the East Palace, which caused the two princes to fight each other, courtiers' minds drifted, and internal fighting was serious. But when I think about it carefully, if she is Emperor Jiahe and single-handedly created the century-old prosperity, should she be handed over to the mediocre and stupid King Rui, or to the wicked Chu Heng?

  I'm not reconciled to handing it over to anyone.

  In the end, it was Pei You who made the choice for him. Emperor Fuyou ascended the throne, and he assisted him.

   It's not in vain that Emperor Jiahe put his trust in him.

  However, Pei You doesn't seem to appreciate his cultivation? Emperor Jiahe only changed the name of the country after ten years in power, and he helped the young emperor to ascend the throne. He had no intention of imitating the previous emperor at all, and even changed the name of "Jiahe" before the new year.

   Those who didn’t know, thought he had an enmity with Emperor Jiahe.

  Wen Ning thought about something, and when she was about to fall asleep, she just vaguely thought, Pei You is not coming back tonight?

   On the second day, she really didn't see Pei You, so she immediately packed herself up and went out.

   For three days in a row, Pei You never showed up at the official station. If it wasn't for the fact that there were still a few attendants who handled logistics in the official station, she would have suspected that he had left Qiantang and gone to other places.

  That Chu Heng also disappeared suddenly, and did not bother her again.

  There is freedom, but Wen Ning's affairs are not going smoothly.

  Boss Qian didn't know whether to say he was cautious or stubborn, but no matter how she invited him, he refused to see him again.

  In the past few days, she also found out clearly that Boss Qian looks serious and conservative, and his only hobby is...drinking flower wine.

  If he likes women, it's easy to deal with, you can give him some beauties according to his liking. But people simply love to drink flower wine, the kind that has passed dry addiction.

  Wen Ning also tried to block him at the Fengyue place, but he made up his mind to ignore her, and drank the wine given by the beauty without giving her a single look.

  Wen Ning is really... angry and stuffy.

  If she hadn't gone out too hastily and didn't bring much money with her, she would have slapped a stack of bank notes directly in front of him. If she doesn't recognize the waist card, she will always recognize the bank notes, right? !

  The person with the money on his body still doesn’t show up for some reason. Could it be that he knows that this matter will not go well for her and waits to see her jokes?

  Today she got stuck again at Boss Qian's place, and she didn't care about her manners, so she squatted by the deserted Qiantang River, picked up a stone and threw it into the river.

Mad!

  It's just one step away, how can there be such a stubborn person in the world!

   After smashing a few stones, there was no splash in the Qiantang River, and Wen Ning's anger turned into depression.

   Do you really think that rebirth is omnipotent? Opening a wine shop went smoothly, so she thought that the pharmacy would do what she wanted. As Duan Rushuang said, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

  She was unhappy, there was no one around her to talk to, and she had nowhere to vent her depression, so she said to the air, "Hey, what's your name? Where's your master? Why haven't you come back?"

   No one answered.

  Wen Ning continued: "Stop pretending, you have been with me for a few days, right? Do you have a bank note?"

   Still no answer.

  Wen Ning picked up a stone and threw it into the Qiantang River: "You won't come out, will you?"

  She stood up and snorted coldly: "If you don't come out again, I will tell your master that you watched me take a shower!"

  Eleven, who was hiding in the tree, staggered and knelt in front of Wen Ning, "Humble job...here is the humble job! There is no humble job...Madam, please be merciful!"

  Wen Ning patted the dirt on her hands, turned her head to look at him: "Do you have any bank notes?"

"No…"

   "Does your master have any bank notes?"

   Keep silent.

   That's it.

   "Go and send a letter to your master." Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, not believing that she couldn't deal with Boss Qian, "Just say that I am so in love with him, and if he doesn't come back, I will die of illness!"

eleven:"…"

   "Or I was fascinated by the glamorous world of Qiantang, and if he doesn't come back, I'll elope with him!"

eleven:"…"

   "Did you hear that?"

   "Listen... heard..."

   "Aren't you going soon?"

   "Humble...humble position to take orders!"

   It was evening when Fei Ge delivered the letter to Hangzhou Mansion.

  As Tu Bai said, although the affairs of the Hangzhou Mansion are important, there is no need to worry too much. At this time, Pei You has been free and is drawing a picture of autumn chrysanthemums, stamping a private seal on it and handing it to Gu Fei.

  When Tu Bai took off the paper tied to the pigeon's leg, Pei You happened to take a look at it, and he directly handed it to Pei You without looking at it first.

  Pei You is not in a hurry.

   After cleaning his hands slowly and drying them, he took the paper and unfolded it.

   "Madam went to see Boss Qian, but still hit a wall."

   "Madam wants a bank note."

   "Madam said that if the son doesn't go back, she will die of lovesickness."

   "The madam also said that if the young master doesn't go back, she will elope with someone."

Pei You sneered, pulling the corners of his lips, and was about to close the paper when he saw a line of extremely small words under those lines, enclosed in brackets: "Boss, I really didn't peek at Madam taking a bath, you must Help me woo woo woo..."

  Pei You: "..."

-

  Wen Ning didn't know what Pei You was up to, she even suspected that he knew she wanted the bank notes and refused to come back on purpose.

  She went to find the hidden guard that day, and there were still only a few people in the official post, and there was no sign of him coming back.

  Since Pei You didn't come back, she simply put off looking for Boss Qian.

   When she came here, she was so anxious before, because she thought that Pei You would only stay in Qiantang for three or four days, but now he has stayed for nearly ten days and is not in a hurry to leave. He is not in a hurry, so why is she panicking?

  Secondly, she really couldn't think of any good way to persuade that stubborn hard rock, she almost wanted to force it, and asked the little dark guard to come out and beat him up!

  Without looking for the money boss, she was free, so when she was drinking tea in a teahouse this day, she heard almost exciting good news.

  The teahouses in Qiantang, like the teahouses in Beijing, have storytellers.

  The storyteller sat upright in the teahouse and patted Xingmu. Although the words had a strong Qiantang accent, Wen Ning barely understood.

"Let's say that little general Shen entered the enemy's camp alone, and then led fifty of his own soldiers to set fire to the enemy's granary. The Nanman was caught off guard by the attack from inside and outside! The barbarian was attacked from the rear, retreated steadily in front, and finally fled with his tail between his legs. What a joy! "

  Little General Shen? Shen Jin?

  She pricked up her ears, and it was almost easy to hear the discussions of the people around her.

   "This time in the southern border war, Little General Shen made another contribution, quite like General Xie back then!"

   "That's right, when the troops from the Southern Expedition return to the court, His Majesty will reward you for your merits. Shen Shangshu will be honored again this time!"

   "This little general Shen hasn't discussed marriage yet? The noble ladies in Beijing have another good choice."

  Wen Ning at the back didn't have the heart to listen any more. There was only one thought in his mind, the Southern Expedition was a great victory? Shen Jin survived?

  She immediately went downstairs and stuffed some silver with the shopkeeper to inquire.

   It's actually true!

The Southern Expeditionary Army achieved a great victory at the end of July. The Nanman retreated hundreds of miles away from the border. Shen Jin took personal risks during the battle and went deep into the enemy camp. Make a great contribution.

   This news spread to the capital half a month ago, and only two days before it reached Qiantang, so the teahouses are talking about General Shen's book recently.

  Wen Ning only felt buzzing in her ears, and the soles of her feet were light, as if someone was stepping on a cloud.

  The news of Shen Jin's death in the previous life spread to the capital in early August. She had also paid attention to it before.

  Unexpected…

  It's different, it's really different.

   Not only did Shen and Jin survive, but the Southern Expeditionary Army did not win like in their previous life. Although they won, they were victorious, with countless casualties.

   This swept away Wen Ning's stagnant energy accumulated for several days, and the strength seemed to return to his body instantly.

  Shen Jin has survived, and the Southern Expeditionary Army has won a great victory. It's just a money boss. How can it be difficult for her?

   Also on this night, Pei You finally came back from Hangzhou Mansion.

  Wen Ning was in a very good mood, thinking that this life was different from the previous one, the Southern Expedition was a great victory, maybe even the fate of the country was different.

  So much so that when she saw Pei You, the resentment in her heart disappeared, and she almost wanted to drag him to talk about the great victory of the Southern Expedition.

  He has better information than her, and he must have known it a few days earlier, and he knew it in more detail than her.

   Just looking at his usual cold and high-spirited appearance, he swallowed the words again.

  He doesn't have much friendship with Shen Jin. Although Shen Jin accidentally helped him out of a siege in Yuntinglou last year, he is definitely not that easy to get close to.

  She also packed her belongings briskly.

  In the past two days, she has free time to go shopping and bought a lot of Qiantang specialties. The eldest brother and sister-in-law, father and second brother, and Linglan Chunxing must be indispensable.

  Since she is playing the role of "Mrs. Shizi", she also prepared gifts for everyone in the Duke's Mansion.

Pei You still looks like a gentleman and book-loving. When she came back, she held a book by the window. Seeing her walking back and forth with wind, she twitched her lips: "Who do you want to be with?" Elope?"

  Wen Ning was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, she finally figured out the source of these words.

  The little dark guard was so cute that he actually told Pei You exactly what she had said.

  She was in a good mood, raised her voice and said leisurely:

   "Isn't this because the adults are so happy to stay in Hangzhou Mansion that they are worried that the adults think I'm a burden and leave me alone in Qiantang?"

  Pei You obviously didn't take it seriously, and glanced at the gift boxes on her table: "Are you done with your business?"

of course not.

   But this is not... Master Pei, are you back yet? !

   Thinking about her business, Wen Ning paused her hands, raised her moist eyes and glanced at Pei You.

  It is now September, even in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also the time of autumn. Pei You's clothes are no longer so light and flimsy. He wears the crimson brocade in a dignified and noble manner, which makes his complexion like jade and his bright eyebrows bright.

  The cold little mole on the nose still shows that he is indifferent and alienated, and strangers with a book on his face are not close.

  Wen Ning rolled her eyes lightly, and reminded herself again that this person is not going to take the easy way, you have to talk to him well.

  She Pingting went over, poured a cup of tea for Pei You graciously, and then sat down beside him.

   "My lord, is the matter in the Hangzhou Mansion going well?" Wen Ning smiled and asked meekly and considerately.

  Pei You raised her eyes to look at her, her black eyes were dense, she couldn't see any emotion, and she didn't answer, she just backed away silently when she lowered her eyes, and... put away her sleeves.

  Wen Ning: "..."

   As for what...

  She just asked him to advance some bank notes.

  His huge family property doesn't care about such a little money at all.

but…

  Wen Ning looked at his lonely and distant appearance, rejecting people thousands of miles away, and suddenly another thought came to her mind.

  Although the bank notes can prove that she is rich and powerful, but Pei You is on official business and the pharmacy has not yet opened. It is impossible for her to pay the money and deliver the goods with Boss Qian. At this time, she transported a large number of "Stone Ying" back to the capital with great fanfare.

  Boss Qian didn’t believe her, just because he felt that she was alone, looked young, and couldn’t report her family. He would rather miss a deal than be fooled.

  But in front of me... there is a person who is much more useful than silver.

  Thinking quickly, Wen Ning had an idea.

   "My lord." She naturally softened her tone and looked at Pei You sincerely, "I found a lot of interesting places in Qiantang these days."

"My lord." There is a need for others, and she can't be as cold as usual, Wen Ning rests her chin on her hand, and smiles softly and obediently, "After I finish my business tomorrow, how about I treat my lord to dinner? "

  Outside the window, the night is already dark, and a bright moon hangs on the branch, shedding clear moonlight.

  The window in the room was only half open, and a gust of wind outside brought the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in full bloom.

  Pei You specially lived in Hangzhou Mansion for a few days, not for other reasons, just to avoid Wen Ning.

  He knew that things were not going well for her, and sooner or later he would make up his mind.

  But he didn't want to.

  Why did he obey her and obey her every word?

  Even Mrs. Wang couldn't be his master since he was a child, and the eldest princess was helpless against him. How could he be controlled by her?

  Before returning from Hangzhou Mansion, he had already thought clearly, no matter what tricks Wen Ning tried again, he would not waver.

  He married her back to reveal her secret, to reject Emperor Jiahe's marriage offer, and to extinguish the fire in his heart.

   There are thousands of reasons, and none of them is for... to bind oneself.

  Pei You looked sideways slightly, and stared at Wen Ning expressionlessly.

  She didn't play any tricks today.

  She no longer tugged on his sleeve, nor called him "Husband".

   She just looked at him and smiled.

  The voice is sweet and greasy, the smile is soft, and the brown eyes are like moonlight, crystal clear.

  She was waiting for his answer, and as soon as the black crow feather opened and closed, it swept back and forth at the tip of his heart.

   The little mole on the bridge of Pei You's nose was still cold and cold, and her black eyes were still calm and unwavering.

  The hand that was only holding the scroll unconsciously exerted force, and the blood on the fingertips faded and turned slightly white.
