MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 128 Does well water not violate river water?
The two of them had been away for so long, Wen Ning didn't know why Pei You didn't take her to see the eldest princess, it seemed that she didn't take her there yesterday because of a moment of unhappiness, or that she didn't intend to take her there at all.
She pondered for a while, but didn't think too much about it.
Several months have passed, and the eldest princess seems to be still angry and has not come out of the Buddhist hall. Wen Ning only asked Wang Qinsheng to send the gifts for her and Pei Guogong, and did not serve tea in person.
The first day she returned to Beijing, she went there while arranging various luggage and gifts.
On the second day, she asked people to load the divided gifts into the carriage and went back to Wenfu.
In fact, she should go back with Pei You, but Pei You went to the palace early yesterday morning to report on her work, and then probably went to the Ministry of Industry. She didn't see Gu Fei Tubai for a whole day, and it took about four months. There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
Pei You took her to the south of the Yangtze River, and now the whole capital thinks that Prince Pei dotes on her, the wife of the prince, very much, so there is no need for her to delay Wen Tingchun's day by asking him to accompany her back to her mother's house just to reassure Wen Tingchun.
Look, how competent her wife is.
After having dinner with Wen Tingchun and her two older brothers in Wen Mansion, she happily returned to Guogong Mansion. On the third day, Wen Ning planned to meet Duan Rushuang.
Just about to write a letter of greeting, Linglan said from the side: "Miss, have I not told the girl yet? Now that Miss Duan is not in Duan's residence, there is no need to write greetings in Duan's residence."
"Sister Rushuang is not in Duan's house anymore?" Wen Ning put down her pen in surprise, "Tell me what happened and where is she now?"
In the past two days, Linglan has been busy asking Wen Ning about what happened in Jiangnan, but before she could finish talking with Wen Ning about what happened in Beijing, she immediately took a chair and sat down next to Wen Ning.
"Miss, you don't know! Miss Duan is amazing!" Linglan stared at her big eyes and said with admiration, "Duan didn't know what conflicts had happened with the family these days when you were not here. Bringing her little mother out of the mansion! Before leaving, I counted all the places that the mansion has treated harshly over the years, and took away all the assets that my little mother bought in the mansion over the years, and even dug up a tree in the yard!"
For a while, Wen Ning returned to her previous life in a trance.
In her previous life, Linglan was also by her side, talking about Duan Rushuang with her eyes wide open in surprise. It is said that the carriage was dragged by dozens of carts, and Duan’s mansion was almost emptied. Duan Yong was so laughed at by the whole city that he didn’t go to duty for three days. However, he is the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, the parent official of the people in the capital, and he can’t see Duan Rushuang how.
It’s just that in the previous life, it was next spring, which was a few months earlier.
"I don't know exactly what happened in Duan's mansion, but it is absolutely true that Miss Duan is not in Duan's mansion. You might as well ask the second son first. The second son must have helped Miss Duan a lot. Where does she live now?" Definitely clear."
The part between Duan Rushuang and Wen Qi is here.
Wen Ning originally planned to ask someone to get a message from Wen Qi to see where Duan Rushuang lives now. Before people left, the housekeeper sent a message over.
It was Duan Rushuang who came to find her by himself.
Wen Ning was overjoyed, and immediately went out to greet her in person.
"Sister Wen is plump. It seems that Jiangnan really supports people." After not seeing each other for a few months, Duan Rushuang sprinted a little taller than Wen Ning, and when he saw Wen Ning, he smiled and took her arm, " I was supposed to let Sister Wen rest for a few days before disturbing her, but in a few days it will be the New Year's Eve, I really can't wait, and I don't know if it is convenient for Sister Wen today?"
"I'm going to find you if you don't come." Wen Ning directly took her to Qinghui Hall, "Come and sit down, Linglan said that Fushengzui has a new product this month, can you bring it?"
"Of course." Duan Rushuang smiled and took out a jug of wine from her sleeve.
"Sister Wen, I have two main things to do today, one is the winery and the other is the pharmacy." Without goingssip, Duan Rushuang brought the conversation to the point, nodded to the little maid who followed, and the maid presented her Two account books, "It's the end of the year, this is the account book of the distillery, please have a look at it."
Duan Rushuang's work is so clear and organized that it's hard for Wen Ning to worry.
She picked up the two account books and glanced at them briefly. The first book was published in the first half of the year, and she basically knew it. The second book was written after the wine shop was smashed and rebuilt. After reading it, she couldn't believe it.
Especially when I saw the last number, I counted it several times, worrying that I was wrong.
"In just a few months..." Wen Ning dared not believe it, "Have we made so much money?"
Duan Rushuang had expected that Wen Ning would have this reaction, and covered her lips with a veil and smiled: "This matter is also thanks to the incident in July. It is said that what can't be broken can't be built. Our winery was smashed, but it was also a blessing in disguise."
Wen Tingchun's use of power for personal gain is well known, so of course there is no need to repeat it. After this incident, everyone in the capital and even outside the capital knew that this wine shop was opened by the wife of the eldest son, Wen Ning.
The relatives of the emperor are usually unattainable existences, but now they can get acquainted with relatives by only buying a pot of wine.
Not only around the capital, many people came here to buy and order wine, Fushengzui became the most popular shop in the capital for a while.
"The supply of our wine has been in short supply in the past few months, especially before this New Year's festival, all of them have been sold out." Speaking of business, Duan Rushuang's eyes sparkled again, "I gave the workers a holiday early, and I will come back on the eighth day of the lunar new year. We are sure to double our revenue next year.”
Wen Ning took a breath.
Knowing this, why should she follow behind Pei You to please? She can get things done without his money!
"Sister Wen." Duan Rushuang said again, "The wine shop is so prosperous, after all, it is in the honor of the prince, you should remember to thank him well."
Wen Ning gave a low cough, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
All right, it's not like she was flattering him for nothing.
"And..." Duan Rushuang covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, her eyes were a little teasing, "Forget it, I'll know if my sister has time to visit the winery in a few days."
Why are you still selling it?
Without giving Wen Ning a chance to ask more questions, Duan Rushuang continued: "The second thing is the pharmacy."
"Sister Wen, as mentioned in the letter I sent to you earlier, we have already negotiated with the drug dealer and selected the shop. If you are free in the past few days, I will take you to have a look." Duan Rushuang said Compared with when we met at the beginning of last year, she already has the demeanor of a female shopkeeper, "But you told me that Mrs. Wen's family wanted to go to the pharmacy to see a doctor, and I talked to her about it a few days ago..."
Duan Rushuang pursed her lips, thought about her words, and said, "I saw her with great enthusiasm, but when I heard that she was the only doctor in the shop, and both men and women needed to be treated, I hesitated. My natal family, you can chat with her again when you have time. If she doesn't want to see the doctor, I will talk to other doctors in the next year."
Wen Ning frowned lightly.
He Luan's family is very strict, and the family has a lot of control over women. She has been influenced by ethics for more than ten years. If she is suddenly asked to come out, she may not be able to accept it for a while.
"Okay." Wen Ning nodded, "I'll find time to talk to her in the past few days, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."
Duan Rushuang smiled brightly: "Sister Wen is fine in Beijing."
"Is there anything else?" Wen Ning turned his head, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"That's about it." Duan Rushuang also lowered her eyes and took a sip of her wine, "There are still some details. Let's talk in detail after a year."
"No more? These are business matters, what about private matters?" Wen Ning leaned closer to Duan Rushuang, holding her chin, "Why don't you talk to me about private matters?"
Duan Rushuang blushed suddenly.
"Linglan." Wen Ning called, "Let the kitchen prepare some side dishes, sister Rushuang will have dinner here today."
-
Winter twilight is earlier, and the time for the imperial court to be on duty is also earlier.
However, a lot of affairs have been accumulated during this period. When Pei You came out from the Ministry of Industry, Gu Fei had already eaten two sesame cakes. When he saw Pei You, he hurriedly went up to him: "Can the son have a meal? Or in Chang'an Go to a restaurant down the street and go back?"
There is no time to go back to the Duke’s mansion these days, and the winter dishes tend to be cold, so I explained to the kitchen that I will prepare meals when I go back.
But it's so late today, I don't know what time it is when I go back and wait for the meal to be prepared.
"No need." Pei You got on the carriage calmly.
Gu Fei suddenly had an idea: "Then our wife in Huifu will entertain Miss Duan today, and the son and wife will entertain Miss Duan together?"
Pei You paused the hand that was about to hold the book, and looked up.
Gu Fei couldn't stand Pei You staring at him, and suddenly felt his scalp go numb: "Your Majesty, come back...go back?"
Pei You: "...What do you think?"
"I... I understand!" Gu Fei hastily put down the curtain of the car, and raised his whip to drive the horse.
In Qinghui Hall, Duan Rushuang was talking about recent events while drinking wine.
"It's fine for them to bully me and my mother on weekdays. Even if he wants me to be a concubine, he is my father. I can't say he's not right. But it's not me he wants to sell, but my mother! It's really bullying Duan Rushuang's eyes were red with anger, "They just saw that my mother has no money on hand, and they know that I do business with you, and Fu Shengzui's business is so good, so they covet the money in my hand."
"But they knew that I was on good terms with you, so they didn't dare to bully me directly, so they turned their ideas on my mother." Duan Rushuang wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes with a handkerchief, "How can I stay in such a family? If they hand over the silver in their hands, they will change from sucking my mother's blood to sucking my blood, then it would be better to cut them off!"
Wen Ning knew that Duan Rushuang would come to this point, so she couldn't help sighing.
"It's okay, Sister Rushuang." Wen Ning patted her on the back, "It doesn't matter if you don't want such family members. From now on, you will not be restrained or coerced, and you will be better than them all, and you will walk out of your own way. "
"Only Sister Wen believes in me." Duan Rushuang smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, filled Wen Ning's again, raised her glass and said, "Then I wish you and I spread our wings like a great roc in the future, leap thousands of miles, and soar upwards !"
"The roc spreads its wings, leaps thousands of miles, and soars upwards!" Wen Ning also raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses with burning eyes, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Then what about you and my second brother?" Wen Ning asked again.
Duan Rushuang had drunk wine, and now she couldn't tell whether her cheeks were blushing: "Second Young Master? I... I just asked, Second Young Master has helped me a lot recently. I see that he... hasn't married a wife yet, so if there is any difficulty, I might be able to help him out."
"Really?" Wen Ning's eyes widened.
"Of course it's true." Duan Rushuang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "It's getting late, Sister Wen, the eldest son is about to come back, so I won't bother you any more."
After speaking, he got up and planned to leave the table.
This... is obviously a guilty conscience.
But, does Wen Qi have a sweetheart?
Before Wen Ning was quite sure that he had. That girl is the second daughter of Guozijianji Restaurant, her family has a good relationship with the Shen family, once she went out with Shen Jin to play with them, and got acquainted with Wen Qi.
In the previous life, the two hadn't started discussing marriage, and the Wen family suffered, so naturally there was no happy ending.
But in this life...
Since receiving Duan Rushuang's letter last time, Wen Ning has thought carefully for a long time.
In his previous life, Wen Qi got acquainted with that girl, it seemed that it was after she and Shen Jin started discussing marriage. In this life, she and Shen Jin directly divorced, so she never went out to play, so... Did Wen Qi know that girl?
"Eh? Sister Rushuang, wait for me!"
Wen Ning personally sent Duan Rushuang to the carriage, without thinking about it, went back to tidy up briefly, and then planned to take a bath and rest.
When Pei You returns to Qinghui Hall, where is there any banquet.
Qinghui Hall is deserted, the main house door is closed, only the swing in the yard swaying gently in the night wind.
Gu Fei scratched his head when he saw this situation. There was indeed a message from the mansion saying that Madam kept Duan girl for dinner. This is... Madam feasting friends and not waiting for the son to come back?
Pei You didn't say anything, and went to the front hall, Gu Fei hurriedly asked Wang Qinsheng to order the kitchen to prepare meals.
During dinner, Gu Fei stood beside Pei You, looking at his eldest son from time to time, and he was relieved to see that he was eating slowly as usual.
Hey, it's also very strange.
When the son and his wife were in the south of the Yangtze River, it was clear that they were as sweet as honey. They lived and slept together, went in and out together, one went to work, the other embroidered sachets at home, the other gave lectures, and the other listened below.
Why has it only been three or five days since I came back, just like what happened in my previous life?
Gu Fei silently counted with his fingers, the first day, the second day... This is the fourth night!
As soon as he returned to the Duke's mansion, the eldest son actually slept in the study again. The wife did not wait for the eldest son when she returned to Wen's residence yesterday, and she did not wait for the eldest son at the banquet today.
Is this... a quarrel the day you came back?
Gu Fei ate sesame seed cakes and didn't have dinner anymore. When Pei You finished, he followed him back to Qinghui Hall.
Sure enough, Pei You went straight to the study.
Could it be that the prince and his wife are going to live their own lives as before?
According to the agreement between Pei You and Wen Ning, it is indeed time for each to live their own lives, and the well water will not interfere with the river water.
Pei You walked into the study and sat down at the desk.
Tu Bai reported the news from various sources as usual, he gave instructions as usual, and then picked up the scroll on the table as usual.
On a winter night, there is only the sound of howling wind outside the window.
Just after Xu time, the light on the window dimmed, and the lamps and candles in the yard went out.
Pei You glanced at the window, and his eyes fell back to the scroll.
But it was only a few breaths, he raised his eyes and looked at the bed in the study.
Lonely and unpopular.
Sweep the study again.
Clear and cold, no temperature.
From now on, we will never get in trouble with him?
Heh, it's a beautiful idea.
"Gu Fei." Pei You called out.
Gu Fei stood guard outside the study, watching the lights in the side yard turn off, and the sound of people disappeared after a while, knowing that there was no show tonight.
While thinking about going to Tu Bai to ask about it tonight, a call came from the study.
He hurriedly opened the door and went in, waiting for orders.
"Gu Fei." Pei You sat in front of the desk, holding a scroll in one hand, and tapping on the table with the other, with a calm voice, "Why is it so cold in the study today?"
Gu Fei raised his head inexplicably, is it cold? Where is it cold? He came in from the outside, it was very warm.
"This earth dragon is broken?" Pei You looked at the scroll and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The earth dragon is broken? How can it be!
He sent back a letter a few days ago, and the earth dragon has been burning for more than ten days. How can a good one go bad?
"World…"
Gu Fei was about to speak, when Pei You raised her dark eyes and looked over: "Gu Fei, the earth dragon is broken."
Gu Fei's scalp numb: "Yes... yes... my subordinates will immediately order someone to check..." Check and repair...
Pei You dropped the book in his hand.
Gu Fei's words stopped abruptly.
Pei You looked at him with a calm voice and a calm face: "The dragon in the study is broken, so I ordered someone to pack up the books and clothes here and send them to the main house."
After finishing speaking, she stood up slowly, concealed the slight surly look in her lowered eyes, and walked away.
