Chapter 124
"Okay!" Hu Rui responded, turned and walked out.
After Hu Rui left, Ning Wei hurriedly brought two chairs to the yard, then turned back and brought out a small table.
Looking at the bare table, Ning Wei hurried back to the room to look for the teapot. She felt something wrong when she picked up the teapot. When she opened the lid, the pot was empty and there was nothing in it.
Zaohua and the others were so busy today that they didn't bother to come over to make tea.
I can only make tea by myself!
Ning Wei wanted to find a small red clay stove to boil water, but he searched around the house but couldn't find a small red clay stove, so he realized that there was no such thing in Fangfei Garden.
Secretly thought, Zaohua had to buy a small stove later.
Ning Wei took some tea leaves and put them into the teapot, and took the teapot to the ear room.
Seeing water boiling on the stove, Ning Wei stretched out his hand to try it. The copper pot was hot, but not hot.
Ning Wei lifted the pot, and saw that the entrance of the hall was mostly covered by an iron cover, leaving only a gap about one finger wide.
Ning Wei quickly lifted the fire cover, ready to boil water and make tea.
In the yard, Hu Rui brought Shi Jingyang in, only seeing tables and chairs, but not Ning Wei.
"Miss is not here. Shizi sit down first, I will go and see Miss."
Shi Jingyang had already seen the figure in the ear room, and said, "Stand back, I saw Ah Wei."
Hu Rui followed Shi Jingyang's line of sight and saw Ning Wei with his back turned to her.He smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
Shi Jingyang walked to the door and saw Ning Wei staring at the copper pot on the stove, and there was a teapot on the table next to it.
Shi Jingyang stood at the door, did not go any further, and looked at Ning Wei quietly.
The person in front of him was focused on the pot on the stove, and did not notice him behind him.
It was still the water-blue dress in the daytime, under the candlelight, it looked softer and more ethereal.
Shi Jingyang looked a little absent-minded, the little girl is very beautiful, so beautiful that she is so beautiful, so beautiful...
The lid on the stove made a fluttering sound.
Ning Wei stepped forward to lift the pot, but was so scalded by the hot air that he withdrew his hand.
Shi Jingyang hurried forward, "Be careful!"
When Ning Wei heard Shi Jingyang's voice, she turned around in shock and shouted in embarrassment, "Shi Shi!"
Shi Jingyang stared at Ning Wei's hand, and asked worriedly, "Is it hot?"
Ning Wei retracted her hands behind her back in embarrassment, "It's okay, I retracted it when I felt hot, and it didn't burn me."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said, "I'll do it!"
As he said that, Shi Jingyang picked up the handkerchief on the table, which wrapped the handle of the copper pot, lifted the pot, and poured water into the teapot beside him.
Ning Wei stood on the sidelines and watched, panicking at Shi Jingyang who was making tea.
Shi Jingyang made tea, put the copper pot on the table, turned around and saw Ning Wei standing there in a daze, and said, "Let's go."
"Huh? Oh, good!" Ning Wei recovered and was about to turn around and go out. Seeing that the lid of the fire hall was not closed, she stepped forward to cover the lid with tongs.
Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei's movements, his eyes darkened a little.Said: "You have done these things very skillfully."
Ning Wei looked up and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm used to it!"
Shi Jingyang's eyes deepened a bit, are he used to it?When did you get used to it?
Before coming back, she was his wife.
Could it be that when he was not in the Hou's mansion, the people in the mansion bullied her and asked her to do these rough jobs?
No, mother's temperament should not be able to torture others.
Ning Wei walked in front and did not see Shi Jingyang's suspicious face.
The two walked to the table one after the other, Ning Wei set the cups and reached out to take the teapot from Shi Jingyang's hand.
Shi Jingyang lifted his hand up and said, "I'm coming!"
After listening to Shi Jingyang's words, Ning Wei nodded, "Okay!" and stood aside.
Ning Wei looked at Shi Jingyang and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
In her impression, he is unsmiling, like a high mountain flower growing on an iceberg, cold and handsome, proud, never thought that he also has such a smug side.
Seeing Ning Wei standing aside stupidly, Shi Jingyang said, "Sit down!"
Ning Wei came back to her senses, and replied with some embarrassment: "Okay!"
Ning Wei sat down on the chair.
Shi Jingyang sat down, reached out and pushed a cup of tea in front of Ning Wei, and asked, "How is the old lady's injury?"
Ning Wei replied: "Luckily among misfortunes, the flying knife did not hit the vital point. Doctor Hu said that he will recover after a few days."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said, "That's good!"
After finishing speaking, Shi Jingyang picked up the teacup and blew gently, then took a sip of tea, and then said: "In the afternoon, Mother Qin who is beside Mrs. Zhao went to Wan Zhentian's house on Changbao Road.
Afterwards, Wan Zhentian's entourage, Zhang Wei, went to the residence of Mo Shaoyan, the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion.
Mo Shaoyan has a brother-in-law named Liu Guangsheng, who is the deputy commander of the Northern Army and Horse Division. "
Ning Wei listened quietly without asking.
The Chiyang Gang has been able to occupy central Beijing for decades, so they must have their own connections.
Shi Jingyang put down his cup, and Ning Wei picked up the teapot to refill him.
Shi Jingyang went on to say: "Bing Masi, I have said hello, and I will not disclose the identity of the deceased for the time being.
However, Wan Zhentian has been in the capital for many years, he should have his own way, at most two days, he can find out the news. "
Ning Wei said: "I understand that one day is enough. One day, my brother and I can settle things in the house."
Shi Jingyang thought of Ning Wei's food being drugged, and reminded: "Be careful when eating."
Ning Wei nodded, "Thank you, I've already thought of this. There is a small kitchen in my yard, and brother's side has already started building a small kitchen today. From now on, we will cook three meals a day by ourselves."
Shi Jingyang thought that Ning Wei only had two servant girls, and asked, "Are there enough people? I'll pick a few more for you to send in."
How could Ning Wei dare to accept his love again?Shaking his head quickly, "Thank you, no need. The mulberry leaves and jujube flowers are enough."
"Two maids are enough? Sister Xing and Sister Chen are surrounded by four first-class maids, four second-class maids, four third-class maids, plus the steward woman and rough envoy woman. A yard adds up to twenty Come." Shi Jingyang said.
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Sister Xing, Sister Chen is the lady of the Hou Mansion, so naturally there are more people serving her."
Shi Jingyang asked in confusion, "What's the difference?"
Ning Wei laughed, thought for a while, and said: "If you really want to say something different, then your fate is different.
My small courtyard is small, there are not many things, two maids are enough.
In fact, it is good, simple and comfortable to have few people and few people. "
Shi Jingyang looked around, the courtyard was indeed not big, but there were too few maids.He reminded: "You have to be careful that Mrs. Zhao will stuff people into your yard."
Ning Wei was shocked. She was quite negligent about this matter, "Thank you for reminding me, son, I will make arrangements later."
Seeing what Ning Wei said, Shi Jingyang knew that she had made up her mind, so she stopped talking and changed the subject: "There is progress in the matter of Yiyuan Pharmacy."
Ning Wei was refreshed, and looked at Shi Jingyang with bright eyes, "Really?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, and said: "It is true that Yiyuan Pharmacy sells counterfeit medicines, but it is done very covertly.
To be precise, it should be shoddy, especially some high-quality tonics, which are processed into finished products with inferior medicinal materials worth a few cents, put them in exquisite boxes, and transform into top-quality tonics. Hundreds of taels of silver. "
"It's a huge profit!" Ning Wei exclaimed.
Shi Jingyang nodded, "It is indeed huge profits. As for the death of the Lu family, there is another hidden story."
Ning Wei added another cup of tea to Shi Jingyang, and asked, "Is there something else hidden?"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Yes, Huang Hengyuan, the shopkeeper of Yiyuan Pharmacy in Xiuxiang, has a crush on Lu Shangxing's daughter-in-law, Yuan Shi.
Huang Hengyuan wanted to take the Yuan family as his own, so he became murderous, and took advantage of Lu Shangxing's illness to kill him. "
"This man is too courageous!"
Shi Jingyang nodded, "Huang Hengyuan is Zhao's cousin, the youngest son of Zhao's uncle, in his thirties, and has been Zhao's follower since childhood, serving Zhao's saddle.
Huang Hengyuan took care of a lot of properties under Zhao's name. After he fell in love with the young daughter-in-law of the Lu family, he went to the pharmacy in Xiuxiang to be the shopkeeper. "
Ning Wei picked up the teacup and sipped tea, fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked up at Shi Jingyang and asked, "Shi Shizi, I can use this to expose the fake medicines sold by Yiyuan Medicine Shop, right?"
Shi Jingyang met Ning Wei's gaze, "Tell me what you think."
Ning Wei said: "It is not ordinary people who can go to the pharmacy to buy tonics, we can make good use of this."
Shi Jingyang nodded in agreement, "Well, yes. We have to make a game..."
The two discussed for a while, and finally came up with a plan.
Shi Jingyang looked up at the moonlight, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, you should rest earlier."
Ning Wei stood up and saw him off, "Shi Shizi, go slowly."
After Shi Jingyang left, Ning Wei put away the tables and chairs, went into the room and washed up briefly, then fell asleep and had a good night's sleep.
In Lingyunyuan, Mrs. Zhao was restless, and she smashed everything in the room.
Mother Qin cautiously reminded from the side: "Ma'am, it's time for appointments. Let's take a rest earlier. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Mrs. Zhao looked fiercely at Nanny Qin, "Master rested in the front yard?"
Mother Qin replied with lowered hands: "Yes, Shao Qing said, the master came out of the yamen, went to Baoping Lane with Commander Xu, and rested in the outer courtyard when he came back."
Mrs. Zhao asked nervously: "Master went to Baoping Lane?"
Qin Nanny nodded, "Shao Qing said so."
"Does Shao Qing know what the master said to Xu Weiwu?"
Qin Nanny shook her head, "The old slave asked Shao Qing, and Shao Qing said that the master and Commander Xu were talking in the study, and he couldn't follow in. So I don't know."
Mrs. Zhao became even more irritable. After turning around, she asked, "Did the pair of bastards get the letter in advance?"
Nanny Qin lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know."
Mrs. Zhao glared at Nanny Qin, and scolded angrily, "You old bastard, you are useless."
Mother Qin didn't dare to say any more, she stood aside with her head bowed.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao walked around the room twice, and said, "Forget it, sleep, let someone come in to serve you. By the way, the arrangement is made. I will go to Changbao early in the morning."
Nanny Qin looked up and asked in a low voice, "Are you going there early in the morning? But, where is Jing'an Lane?"
Mrs. Qian came back, according to the rules, a daughter-in-law should be taken care of by her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Xiao Zhao replied angrily: "What? You expect me to serve her like before? Dreaming!"
Qin Nanny hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes, this old servant understands."
The next day, Mrs. Zhao got up, and after breakfast, she went to Changbao Road.
Xu Wu and Osmanthus went to Xu's Mansion in Baoping Lane to look for Ning Wei, and learned that Ning Wei had moved back to Qili Street, so they went to Qili Street.
At the gate of the Ning Mansion, I happened to meet Chang Le who was out on errands, and Chang Le brought the two of them into the mansion.
Ning Wei received the two in Liuyuan.
Osmanthus fragrans came forward and said: "According to Miss's order, the old slave bought another 20 people back, and these people's female celebrities are all good.
The 15 people we bought back last time, plus the three tailors we hired, we now have a total of 38 people. "
Ning Wei asked, "Have you settled down?"
Osmanthus fragrans replied: "Temporarily settle in that house, Guiyi and the two will stay there."
Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "Okay, are you making samples in your bag?"
Osmanthus fragrans nodded repeatedly: "Yes. The old slave brought eight pieces over, please look over them, Miss."
Osmanthus bent down to untie the bundle, and took out the finished garments one by one and put them on the desk in front of Ning Wei.
After looking at them one by one, Ning Wei said: "Aunt Gui, these six are good, simple and elegant, but the other two are too fancy and time-consuming to make, so I will not do them.
According to these six styles, first make pieces each. "
Osmanthus fragrans bowed in response, "Yes, this old slave understands."
Ning Wei handed the prepared silver bill to Osmanthus, "Aunt Gui, here is a 500 taels silver bill, you keep it and arrange the lives of these people."
Osmanthus bent her knees and responded, "Okay! This old slave understands."
After Osmanthus took away the banknote, Ning Wei asked, "Aunt Gui, are you literate?"
Osmanthus fragrans shook her head and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Miss, this old slave can only understand simple characters, such as the numbers on the bank note, and the old slave's name."
"Where's Uncle Shi, is he literate?"
Osmanthus fragrans nodded and said: "I understand, what are the miss's orders? The old slave will tell him."
Ning Wei picked up two papers full of characters from the desk and said, "Aunt Gui, these two papers are our house rules, I'll read them to you.
You take it back, give it to Uncle Shi, and ask Uncle Shi to read it to everyone.From then on, everyone must abide by it, and those who do not comply will be dealt with according to the family rules. "
Osmanthus fragrans bent her knees and responded, "Okay, this old slave is still worried that there will be too many people and it will be difficult to control. It turns out that the lady has thought of it, that's great."
Ning Wei recited the family rules, not only Osmanthus admiration for Ning Wei, but also Hu Rui who was sitting by the side.
"Miss is thoughtful and considerate. With the rules, these people will be easy to manage."
Ning Wei handed the family rules to Osmanthus.
Osmanthus took it and put it into the bag together with the clothes.
Xu Wujiang reported to Ning Wei about the rice business, the Zhuangzi, and the search for a house.
After hearing this, Ning Wei said, "It's a good job, you've worked hard. Mi Xing must be more careful, and don't make any mistakes."
Xu Wu bowed his body in response, "I understand."
After sending off Osmanthus fragrans and Xu Wu, Hu Rui looked at Ning Wei and praised without hesitation: "Miss is amazing!"
Ning Wei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Sir, are you complimenting me?"
Hu Rui gave her a thumbs up, "Miss deserves it!"
