MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 134 a thought
Wen Ning looked at the two packs of snacks on the table in disbelief.
One pack is peanut crisps. I am not sure if it is true or not that she said she likes to eat peanut crisps in Yuntinglou. There is also a pack of Wanfangzhai's signature sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
She stared at Pei You who was eating dinner calmly.
Knowing that I have a bad attitude in the morning, please please her?
That's all, he is someone who can be coaxed with a bunch of candied haws, and she is not small-minded, so she accepted two packets of snacks.
Wen Ning frowned and opened the peanut cake first. Although Jiangnan dim sum is delicious, it is not as good as the taste of hometown. I haven't eaten this peanut cake for a long time, and I miss it very much.
Pei You was eating, glanced at her from the corner of her eye, and then lowered her eyes again.
I like to eat peanut crisps, but I didn't lie to him.
What Wen Ning was thinking about was, fortunately, she hadn't lied to him at the beginning, otherwise why wouldn't she be reluctant to give up her love today? You have to pay attention to this lying, true and false, so that it is difficult for people to detect the truth.
After eating a few pieces of peanut crisps, Wen Ning's mood improved, so she asked a couple of questions about what Linglan said in the afternoon, and was concerned about who had entered his notebook again.
Pei You finished his meal, and was pouring himself a cup of tea, when he heard this, he chuckled twice: "Who else could it be?"
"King Rui again?" Wen Ning took another piece of peanut cake.
Pei You didn't answer, but raised his eyebrows lightly, and Wen Ning knew it was definitely him.
"Huh, annoying brown candy!" Wen Ning snorted, and then told Pei You what happened on the night of the New Year's Eve banquet, "You said Xie Shoufu Yingming I, how could you adopt Xie Ying, who is so unworthy?" The woman on the stage is his daughter-in-law of the Xie family? And he chose King Rui, a stupid and bad prince, as his son-in-law?"
The Xie family was so prominent back then. The head of the family was the chief assistant of the dynasty who assisted Emperor Jiahe when he ascended the throne.
Everyone knows that the world is divided into thanks and gratitude, and Xie's figure is indispensable on the meritorious medal of Emperor Jiahe.
pity…
Wen Ning said with regret: "It would be great if that General Xie hadn't died in battle."
The decline of the Xie family seems to have started with the death of the empress empress' younger brother, the young general named Xie Nanci.
If Xie Nanci didn't die, how could Xie Changyuan adopt a son and a daughter from a side branch, let alone marrying Xie Ying to King Rui, making the entire Xie family become King Rui's backing, which made King Rui so confident.
Pei You didn't seem to be interested in the matter of Xie's family. He drank tea lightly and didn't talk to him.
Wen Ning stared at Pei You, and suddenly froze for a moment.
As a person who has lived a new life, she knows the ending of many things. Not only did she know that neither King Rui nor Chu Heng had won the battle for the heir apparent, but that Pei You was the biggest winner among them, and she also knew... how he won.
Xie Changyuan abandoned King Rui to support Pei You, and together with Emperor Jiahe, promoted this son of the opposite **** to a position below one person and above ten thousand people, allowing him to become the number one scholar after the first six yuan and number one scholar in the Kai Dynasty of Dayin. The youngest chief assistant of the cabinet since Dayin opened the dynasty.
She even knew why Xie Changyuan abandoned King Rui and supported Pei You.
Wen Ning forgot to eat the peanut cake in her hand.
She suddenly had a thought, a thought she had never had before.
In the past, she couldn't see Pei Youhao. When she saw that he was the same as the top student in high school in his previous life, he recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, and he was on the rise. She had to curse secretly. However, I don't know when it started, probably because she married into the Duke's mansion and realized that she and Pei You are grasshoppers on the same rope?
She actually hoped that Pei You would go more smoothly, and bring down that stupid and bad King Rui, and that collaborator and treasonous Chu Heng as soon as possible.
She is someone who has lived a new life. She knows many middle joints and many secrets that others do not know. These joints and secrets are useless to her, a woman who is not involved in officialdom, but if she can advance these joints Tell Pei You...
Wen Ning felt a little thirsty, and raised her hand to pour tea for herself, but this sudden thought made her a little nervous, and even her hands trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Pei You saw her abnormality at a glance, and took the teapot.
"Yes...cough...some choking..." Wen Ning really had a really dry throat.
Pei You poured her tea and took the peanut cake away: "Sweets are not easy to digest, don't be gluttonous."
Eh? Don't take her peanut crisp!
Pei You had already called Wang Qinsheng in, told him to clean up the table, and even asked him to take away the peanut crisps and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Wen Ning silently stared at Pei You in protest, but didn't say anything. Just before going to bed, she tossed and turned, and couldn't help asking Pei You: "Pei You, the people of King Rui are greedy and ruthless, and treat the people like nothing. You also think he is embarrassing, don't you?"
Pei You didn't deal with the official documents today, just like when he was in Jiangnan, half leaning on the bedside to read.
Hearing this, he looked sideways at Wen Ning who was already lying down: "What? When did you start caring about court affairs?"
Wen Ning roared and rolled over and over again, and finally swallowed: "It's nothing."
Turned over again and closed his eyes.
Pei You obviously misunderstood the meaning of her actions, she was silent for a while, and said: "As long as I'm here, he won't be able to touch Wen's residence. There's no need to be so worried."
Why.
Wen Ning huddled her head under the quilt and stopped talking.
She is not worried about the Wen family.
She was about to ask just now: If there is a chance to hurt King Rui, do you want it?
But Pei You is too sensitive, sensitive and witty, just like the fact that the Wangs and his wife are still alive, before he has a good idea of what to say, he must not show his flaws and make him suspicious.
-
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Ning was finally able to leave the residence. The first thing she did was of course to find Duan Rushuang.
Last time, Duan Rushuang had informed her of her new residence, which is a single family, and there is no need to send a greeting card in advance. She was planning to go out in the past time.
The two of them went to the pharmacy first.
The pharmacy is on the side of Chang'an Avenue, on Luoyang Road. The location is a bit out of the way, but the shop is spacious and the backyard is big enough. Duan Rushuang rented another warehouse as she ordered.
The decoration of the shop has been completed, and the first batch of medicinal herbs is already on the way. Only the New Year's Day delayed the time to enter Beijing. Chen Shang, the manager of the drug shop, has already found him. He is also in the shop today. Wen Ning chatted with him for a while Fan, I am quite satisfied.
Now there are only two things left, one is whether He Luan is attending the consultation in the shop, and the other is the name of the pharmacy.
Wen Ning only considered for a moment before making a decision, and went to a simple and popular name—Ruyi Pharmacy.
Her idea of opening this pharmacy is also very simple, she just wants to use it as a cover, trying to alleviate the heavy blow brought by this year's plague, so she calls it "Ruyi", hoping that it really does what she wants.
In the afternoon, Wen Ning and Duan Rushuang went to Fushengzui again.
Fushengzui has not changed much. After all, it was forced to suspend business at that time, and it was not smashed. After the turmoil passed, just open the door. However, the flow of people in the two stores has really increased a lot.
Wen Ning and Duan Rushuang were both wearing men's clothes, and the maids didn't bring them either. They pretended to be wine buyers, and Duan Rushuang gave her winks frequently.
Listen, this is not a Beijing accent.
Look, this one came here because of the reputation, for the engagement banquet.
"It's still early today, why don't we go to the wine shop to have a look?" Duan Rushuang proposed after getting drunk from Fusheng.
Wen Ning looked at the sky, the sun was rarely seen these days, although it was late, but it was not too late to leave the city at this time.
Pei You went back so late yesterday, so it must not be early today.
Tsk, why does she care when Pei You will go back?
"Go, hire a carriage!"
Wen Ning came out in men's clothing, of course, he didn't use the carriage of the Duke's mansion, and Duan Rushuang didn't buy a carriage yet, so the two rented one temporarily and left the capital directly.
The winery was rebuilt directly, and it is still in the original place, but only from the appearance, it is quite different from before.
When Wen Ning first built this winery, he didn't have much money in hand. Wen Qi was good at wine tasting, but what is the butler good at? The silver is flowing out like water.
Therefore, the scale of the winery is not large, and the layout can barely be called "elegant".
This time, some money was allocated for the rebuilding of the imperial court, and there was also some money on the account of the winery.
Wen Ning saw crowds of people even before entering. This wine shop in the suburbs of Beijing was unexpectedly as popular as Fu Sheng Zui on Chang'an Avenue.
It's just incredible.
Duan Rushuang covered her lips and smiled: "Sister Wen, you will know after you go to see it."
Last time at the Duke’s Mansion, Duan Rushuang sold out, and Wen Ning hurried to the winery.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a painting hanging on the raised wall.
A landscape painting.
Wen Ning recognized it at a glance. She spent several months embroidering a landscape painting for the winery, and hung it in the most conspicuous place at the entrance.
But when the distillery was smashed, the landscape painting was also torn off, and it was ravaged badly, and she felt sad for a long time.
The picture in front of me is obviously not the landscape painting she embroidered, but a landscape painting similar in style to that landscape painting.
She embroiders with needle and thread. It is painted in ink and wash, so it is naturally much more flexible than the original picture, and the strokes, artistic conception, and composition...
Wen Ning took a closer look and saw the seal on the right.
It turns out... was it painted by Pei You?
He actually made a landscape painting himself, and even stamped his own private signature, is it so grandiose to hang here?
No wonder Pei You's reputation as a doting wife spread all over the capital after returning from a trip to the south of the Yangtze River; no wonder this winery is located in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are as many people as Fushengzui.
The reputation of Zhuangyuan Lang Neng's poems and paintings has spread throughout Dayin, but there are very few people who have seen his authentic works. Many of these people came for Pei You's paintings, right?
Wen Ning felt an emotion swell in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was.
I just feel joy, joy, relief, and even a little sourness.
Pei You in this life is really different from the one in the previous life!
In his previous life, Pei You only wanted to lock her in the backyard. As long as she couldn't see anyone, he only wished that she could be isolated from the world. How could he draw a picture for her winery, put his private seal on it, and repay this... hanging as ostentatiously at the entrance of her wine shop?
He almost engraved the words "This winery is opened by the wife of our government" on the plaque.
Wen Ning was very happy on the way back.
Put it in a peach and return it in a favor. She knows so many secrets that are beneficial to Pei You, why can't she tell him?
According to the timeline of his previous life, he would have to deal with King Rui and Chu Heng for more than two years, but if she could find a reasonable excuse to hand over their handle to Pei You, how could it take two and a half years? Maybe the Xuanping Rebellion can be avoided!
Thinking of this, Wen Ning became more determined.
Just lacked a suitable rhetoric.
She clenched the sachet by her side tightly, allowing her to ponder over it.
