White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 108
Wen Ning lay on the deck chair for a while in the afternoon, and didn't feel tired at night.

After dinner, I wanted to tidy up the yard outside, but Linglan kept urging her to take a bath, and I don't know what she was busy with, and ran away before her hair was wrung dry after taking a bath.

Wen Ning thinks it's very strange, it's all in a hurry, why is he so absent-minded?
It's already autumn, and she actually prepared such a thin gauze skirt for her.

Wen Ning changed into a normal dress herself, and when she was leaning on the low couch and twisting her hair, Pei You came.

She suspected that her eyes were dazzled, and she blinked, it was really Pei You.

He had probably also bathed, and he was wearing normal clothes, standing not far in front of him with his hands behind his back, his black eyes looking down at her condescendingly, which was quite...meaningful.

Wen Ning had never been looked at by him with this kind of eyes before, so she was a little baffled.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and she said, "Why are you here?"

Pei You looked at her slightly wet hair with dark eyes, Wen Ning hurriedly gathered her hair up, her half-dry long hair was not even tied into a bun.

Following her cheeks and falling on the half of her neck, Wen Ning hastily pulled up her skirt again.Ready to go to bed, dress more casually.

Finally it spread down and landed on her bare feet.

Wen Ning tucked her feet, which had been casually placed on the low couch, into her skirt, and was about to explode when she breathed out.

Suddenly ran over to stare at her in the middle of the night, why? !
But Pei You said at this moment: "You made the soup tonight?"

What soup?

Wen Ning blinked, and immediately realized that Linglan said at noon that she would send stewed soup to Pei You, and it seemed she did.

Originally, she should have denied that she didn't stew it, but Pei You's reaction was really strange, so she kept her mouth shut and asked, "How does it taste? Do you still like it?"

Seeing the inexplicable expression on Pei You's face, it seemed that the breath went up and down in his chest, down and up again, and then a soft snort came out of his nose: "Miss Wen thinks I should drink it, or shouldn't I? "

Wen Ning looked at him inexplicably.

What do you say?It's just a bowl of soup, what should I do... I can drink it if I want it, and I don't want it if I don't want it.

Wen Ning felt that Pei You was here to find fault today, so she leaned over to look for shoes, planning to stay at the bed and have a discussion with him.

But seeing that Pei You had already turned around, she went straight to the bed and sat down: "It's getting late, ma'am, it's time to rest. Are you sleeping in or outside?"

Wen Ning's eyes widened: "Didn't I agree to..." Shared a room for the first three days of the wedding?
Pei You had already taken off her shoes and was lying on the bed with one leg bent. Before she could finish speaking, she took a good look at her: "Miss Wen, although you and I agreed first, there are exceptions to everything. You can't let me ignore my reputation." isn't it?"

……no.

What kind of soup did Linglan send to make Pei You not spend the night with her, and even lose her reputation?
On the other side, Linglan didn't go far. Although there was a room reserved for her in the back room of the Duke's Mansion, she kept vigil for Wen Ning these days and lived in the outer room of the master bedroom.

But today...

She didn't start to feel scared until she came back from delivering the soup.

For a wealthy family in the Duke's Mansion, her soup...wouldn't be a bit out of line?Will it appear that her girl is not reserved enough?Wouldn't it be counterproductive?

She squatted anxiously behind the locust tree in the yard, watched Pei You go in, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the lights inside turned off.

Thank goodness!

No matter what, the two masters can be regarded as reconciled, and she is willing to punish her tomorrow!

Wen condensed at the innermost end of the bed, the hot flashes on his face hadn't dissipated, so he simply covered his face with the quilt.

Just ask what she thought.

Then how did Pei You answer?
"Miss Wen knows what the deer blood is good for?" Pei You had already untied her belt and two buttons of her breasts by herself, and it was rare for a person who had always been lonely and cold to appear a little coquettish.

Of course she knows...

"It turns out that not only Miss Wen knows a lot, but also Miss Wen's personal maid." He unbuttoned two more buttons while speaking, and looked at them meaningfully, "She made a bowl of soup and said that Madam took a lot of trouble. Afternoon."

Wen Ning's face slammed to the ground, burning hot.

But Pei You added another sentence: "Miss Wen, tell me, if Pei doesn't share the bed with his wife tonight, will his reputation be lost?"

At this time, Wen Ning thought about it, and wished she could beat the bed.

Linglan, oh Linglan, her Linglan!What did she learn from those nuns outside the mansion!
If she wanted to beat the bed again, Wen Ning still curled up on the bed without moving.

I don't know... Did Pei You drink it...

Don't you have anything to drink?What did he make up for?
cough……

But she closed her eyes and heard Pei You get up and drink tea twice.

It's autumn and he's still so thirsty. Could it be that soup...he drank it?

Subconsciously, Wen Ning curled up again.

Then I heard Pei You sneer: "Miss Wen, don't worry, I won't be hungry."

Wen Ning: "..."

It's true, last time he was poisoned by Zhao Xizhi's medicine and he was able to resist touching her, even if he drank the half cup of soup, it was nothing.

Thinking of this, Wen Ning relaxed a little.

He also heard Pei You say: "The government is not strict, and two thousand silver will be withheld."

two thousand? ? ? ! ! !
Wen Ning turned over abruptly, stared over, caught a glimpse of the little red mole on Pei You's nose bone in the darkness, and shut her mouth quietly again.

Two thousand is... two thousand.

You have to learn the lesson from last time. At this time, it is better not to provoke him.

She rolled up the quilt tightly, turned over, and continued to sleep.

In a daze, she heard that Pei You seemed to get up and drank tea twice, and said a few words to her in a cold voice. Her mind was not moving anymore, and she casually said "um" a few times, and then lost consciousness.
-
On the second day, Wen Ning gave Linglan a rare reprimand, and Linglan knelt on the ground with her back straight:

"Girl punish me, I... I admit it... What Liu Nanny said before, this trick will prove its worth. As long as you and my uncle love each other, Alan can do anything."

Wen Ning held her forehead, her orchids had grown rebellious, and she would never dare to ask her to make up her own mind in the future...

In the next two days, Wen Ning didn't go out very much, and she felt embarrassed when she thought of Pei You and that soup.

I thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival must be inevitable, but I didn't expect that the eldest princess would not come out of the Buddhist hall during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The eldest princess didn't show up, and Pei Guogong was used to not taking matters into his own hands, and Pei You didn't say anything, so naturally no one would make a fuss about the Mid-Autumn Festival.As a result, Wen Ning spent the most deserted Mid-Autumn Festival in her life.

Never expected that the huge Duke's Mansion looks majestic on the surface, but inside...

Wen Ning felt that there was an indescribable alienation between the eldest princess and Pei Guogong, and between Pei You and the parents.

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wen Ning couldn't wait to go back to Wenfu.

It's still warm in her own home. The Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns have not been completely removed, so she came back before Wen Tingchun and her two brothers came on duty. The family had a happy meeting.

After the three of them went to work, she chatted with He Luan for a while, and then went to Duan's mansion to find Duan Rushuang.

Duan Yong still didn't allow Duan Rushuang to go out, but Wen Ning came to see her at the house, and he couldn't stop him.

"It just so happens that Sister Wen doesn't come to see me, so I'll try to send you a letter to ask you to come and see me." Duan Rushuang looked thinner, and the two of them were in her yard and didn't go out.

Wen Ning frowned and looked at her, feeling a little guilty: "Sister Rushuang, did your father punish you? How are you doing at home recently? Do you need me..."

In fact, she knew that Duan Rushuang probably didn't need her help, but she was still worried that her appearance would change Duan Rushuang's fate, so she couldn't help asking for help.

Duan Rushuang shook her head: "Father is a little annoyed, but I can handle it. Sister Wen, you don't need to blame yourself. When I chose to join, I should have expected that there might be a day when things would happen. There is no reason to only benefit, but I am not willing to bear the burden." The trouble it brings, don’t you think so?”

Duan Rushuang tilted her head and smiled at her.

Wen Ning sighed, this girl is too transparent, she really doesn't need to worry about her.

"Sister Wen, I want to find you, but there is actually another matter I want to discuss with you." Duan Rushuang gently held Wen Ning's hand, "The winery was accidentally smashed by impulsive people before, and the government allocated some money to rebuild it. After the construction is complete, Fu Sheng Drunk can reopen the door, you don't need to worry about this, but right now... our pharmacy has encountered a problem."

"What's wrong?" Wen Ning asked.

"Chen Shang went to talk to several suppliers of medicinal materials before, and it was quite smooth, but Sister Wen told me that a lot of 'Shi Ying' will be needed at that time." Duan Rushuang said in a soft voice, "'Shi Ying' It is produced in the Jiangnan area. Recently, Chen Shang contacted the drug dealers in the Jiangnan area. You know that the Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and there are countless big merchants. talk to your boss."

"The matter in the wine shop has just subsided. It is not good for the eldest brother and the second brother of the Wen family to come forward. Moreover, both of them have official positions, so it is impossible to go far to the south of the Yangtze River. Maybe travel far away, so..."

"Sister Wen, the matter of the pharmacy has been put on hold here. Do you think we still need to talk to the merchant with 'Shi Ying'?"

Wen Ning frowned slightly.

Taking money to buy medicinal materials, I didn't expect to encounter difficulties.

"If you insist on talking with them..." Duan Rushuang also frowned slightly, "I'm afraid I have to wait for Chen Shang to finish handling the matter of the winery before going to Jiangnan in person, but Chen Shang is just the shopkeeper, so I don't know if they will buy it. In this way , Three to five months may have passed."

Wen Ning frowned even more when she heard this.

She was already worried that the plague would come early in this life, and the pharmacy would have to operate for a period of time, with a certain qualification and scale, and then a large amount of "shiying" would be collected, so that it would not be suspicious.

After another three to five months, next autumn may not be able to catch up...

"Sister Rushuang, let me think about this matter. After I think it through, I will write back to you and Shopkeeper Chen, how about it?"

Duan Rushuang naturally nodded.

The two had lunch together and chatted about other things before Wen Ning said goodbye to her and returned to the Duke's mansion.

On the way, she wondered, go to Jiangnan, why do these words sound so familiar?I always feel that someone is going to Jiangnan recently.

When the carriage passed by Luoxuan Pavilion, she suddenly remembered.

Is it Pei You?

"Wen Ning, I'm going to Jiangnan after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will take some time."

"Be more honest in the capital, if you cause any trouble..."

When she was about to fall asleep that night, he seemed to threaten her so darkly.

"Linglan, hurry up, tell the driver to hurry up, let's go back to the Duke's mansion quickly." Wen Ning hurriedly said to Linglan.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, wouldn't it be today?

It's noon now, so no one has already left!
-
When Gu Fei left in the morning, he told Wang Qinsheng to pack his luggage. Today, the son left the court early, and he will probably go to the Ministry of Industry to handle some official duties that need to be handed over. When he comes back, he is ready to go.

His son's travels are always light and simple. When he came back from the Ministry of Industry, he had lunch, and after a while, he saluted and got ready.

It's just that Gu Fei watched Pei You drinking tea in the Qinghui Hall, and didn't seem to plan to leave immediately, so he didn't bother to urge her.

Speaking of a few days ago, didn't he see the son come out of the wife's room?

The son left Beijing today, but the wife was not in the mansion for a whole day, so she didn't intend to see him off?
After sitting in the Qinghui Hall for an hour, Shizi finally got up, Gu Fei hurriedly followed: "Shizi, are you leaving? Don't wait for Madam?"

Pei You glanced over: "Who told you I was waiting for her?"

Gu Fei shut up in time.

Pei You stepped out of the door, his face was as indifferent as ever, no joy or anger could be seen, only the corners of his lips pressed down slightly.

As soon as the group of people walked out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, they saw a carriage galloping towards them.

Wen Ningzao couldn't wait to open the window, and seeing a few carriages parked at the door from a distance, she felt relieved that the people should not have left yet.

When the carriage stopped again, I saw Pei You leading Tu Bai and Gu Fei, followed by a group of people from the Duke's Mansion, or the personal guards arranged by His Majesty, who seemed to be planning to leave.

In front of everyone's eyes, she didn't care about that much, she just told herself to remember the conclusion of the last confrontation with him.

This person is probably the same as her, he is soft but not hard.

So she almost trotted over, gently grabbed Pei You's sleeve, and said softly: "Husband, Ah Ning wants to go to Jiangnan with you, can you take Ah Ning with you?"

It was the first time that Gu Fei saw Wen Ning in such a mood. After trotting, his cheeks were flushed, he raised his head, and looked at Shizi with spring water in his eyes. His voice was as soft as fresh flower petals, and he spoke softly. He shook Shizi's sleeve lightly.

This... who can bear it...

It's a pity that their elder son is cold and high-spirited and acts decisively, and the things that have been decided are always open to comment.

Sure enough, the son's eyes fell on his wife's face indifferently, without answering.

After a while, Gu Fei was about to sigh when he heard Pei You's voice, which was as calm as ever: "Gu Fei, go and pack your things for Madam."

　Well, let's go to Jiangnan to talk about a relationship~
