The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 78 Dry and hot

  Wen Ning had a smooth meeting with that Yan Li.

  The other party was originally a businessman in Suzhou. After his wife passed away, the two elders in the family feared that he would be hurt by the scene, so they moved the family to the capital and started a business in the capital.

   Being able to gain a firm foothold in the capital has something to do with being in Beijing and China. It may be favored by the lady of the official family, but it is quite different.

  Wen Lan tried a little, but the other party couldn't believe it, and nodded hurriedly.

  The meeting was actually in the wing room where I met "Wang You" a year ago.

  Wen Ning sat down and chatted with him, and then watched a play together.

   Except that the scene when she met "Wang You" popped up in front of her from time to time, which made her a little annoyed, there was nothing wrong with it.

   "Yan Li is very satisfied with you, and wants to ask a matchmaker to come to your door directly to propose marriage, what do you think?" Wen Lan came to Xiangtiyuan that night to ask her.

  It’s already summer, and the capital is starting to feel a little dry, Wen Ning shakes her round fan, thinking slowly.

  This businessman behaved well, not the kind of philistine with a smooth tongue, and his appearance did not disgust her, and he could chat with him.

  Of course, compared to Zeng Xu from the Ministry of Industry, what she likes the most is actually his background.

  When a man and a woman meet for the first time, they will show their best side. In this world, being able to see each other before marriage is beyond the imagination of some people. It is impossible to figure out his character and even his family's character in a short period of time.

   But he is a merchant, and he doesn't have much background in the capital. If she married and lived happily, she will get married and leave without encountering any resistance.

  Another favorite is that he is widowed and has a son.

   It wasn't that she was rushing to bring up other people's children, but that she had spent so many years with Pei You in her previous life. She never drank a bowl of Bizi Tang, but she was never pregnant.

  There may be something wrong with her body.

  Yan Li already has a young son, if he gets married and lives well, he won't have to suffer because of the issue of heirs.

   "Brother, the lotus in Tianshan Pond is about to bloom." Wen Ning made a decision, "Why don't you invite Mr. Yan and his young master to enjoy the lotus together?"

  Since he intends to marry him, the young master of his family will also meet him to see if it is a good match for his eyes.

-

  A carriage came from south to north, breaking the wind.

  Gu Fei was driving the carriage himself, and Wang Qinsheng was beside him helping to whip the horsewhip.

   After several days and nights in a row, Wang Qinsheng couldn't take it anymore, his face was disheartened, and he was about to hang on to Gu Fei.

  Gu Fei pushed him away in disgust: "If I had known this, the prince shouldn't have brought you out!"

   "At first, I didn't say that I would have to hurry back to Beijing." Wang Qinsheng murmured with drooping eyelids, "I should have slept enough in the county office before I set off."

   "What do you know?" Gu Fei murmured, "Your Majesty has separated the prisoner and the account book into two places. The account book is with us. Of course, we must rush back to the capital as soon as possible and hand it over to His Majesty!"

   "This..." Wang Qinsheng wanted to say, the prisoner didn't show up and brought the account books back, so it was impossible to start the trial right away.

   But he didn't understand the affairs of the court, so he shut up.

   "If you can't bear it, get in the carriage." Gu Fei pushed him away again.

   "I..." Wang Qinsheng cheered up, "I'm not going!"

  His son is not in a very happy mood recently, so he went to the carriage...he would rather drive the horse outside to eat ashes.

  Gu Fei pulled the rein, leaned down to his side, and lowered his voice: "Do you know why the prince is in a bad mood recently?"

  Wang Qinsheng scratched his head, how would he know? He said that he came to take care of the young master's daily life, but the young master lived in Jiangning mansion for more than half a month. After he came out, he has been busy supervising the construction of the school, so he will meet sooner or later.

   "Maybe it's because of the scenery..." Wang Qinsheng sighed in a low voice.

  The royal residence was on fire for more than a year. Before leaving Beijing, he went back and burned the paper money once, but did not inform the young master.

   Madam always said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. When the young master is in high school, she and the master will go to the south of the Yangtze River. The carriage was running fast, but when passing by Huzhou, the young master suddenly called to stop. The carriage stopped in front of a house for half a cup of tea, and the young master hurried to leave without getting off the carriage.

   At that time, he was looking at the gate of the house, with a pair of big red Chinese knots hanging.

   In the past, during Chinese New Year, Mrs. Wang would hang Chinese knots at the gate of the house.

  Young master is in a bad mood these days, probably because he remembered their passing away.

  Pei You in the carriage didn't feel that he was in a bad mood.

  The trip to the south of the Yangtze River took a long time, but everything was planned. The account books handed over by the prefect Xu are enough to bite off the governor of Liangjiang who has been rampant for many years.

   This time, two groups of people are detaining people and accounting books. If someone can't hold back and robs the prisoners of the prefect of Xu, a bigger case can be involved.

  The Wang residence was on fire for more than a year. He arranged for Wang Fu and Mrs. Wang's daily life early on, and let them settle in Huzhou.

  Passing by Huzhou before, he really wanted to meet them, but in the end he only stayed in front of the house for a while.

   It is still unknown who wanted the lives of the two. It is also unknown whether the other party knew that they had actually escaped. Although he had already arranged for someone to secretly protect their safety, he didn't want to take the risk of directly exposing them to others.

  He just felt a little hot.

  He has never been afraid of the heat, but the more he went north after leaving Jiangning, the dryness in his heart became more and more intense.

  When Gu Fei and Wang Qinsheng were talking outside, Pei You was taking off his coat, leaning on the swaying carriage, sinking into a dream.

  Dream is also the fifteenth year of Jiahe, May.

  He is still in Jiangning and has not returned to Beijing in time.

  Bare letters, marked red, were handed to him one by one.

   "It's cold in the middle of Beijing, Miss Wen is afraid of the cold, and the Liang family doesn't give charcoal fire."

   "Ms. Liang lost a jasper bracelet, searched Miss Wen's yard, found it in Linglan's room, and wanted to sell Linglan. Miss Wen pleaded, and exchanged two boxes of jewelry for peace."

   "Ms. Liang claimed to be sick, and asked Miss Wen to wait on her sickness. She made the girl stand by the couch all night, unable to sit or lie down."

   "Miss Wen fainted due to illness and broke her forehead. Mrs. Liang refused to call for a doctor."

  …

   "It's ridiculous!" Pei You angrily threw the letters on the table and called out, "Gu Fei!"

  Gu Fei hurried into the room.

   "Has Prefect Xu not recruited yet?"

  Gu Fei raised his eyes and saw Shizi's stern face, said: "Not yet. Maybe...our people entered Jiangning Mansion at night and asked him to notice."

  Pei You's eyes raged with darkness, and the cold hostility was drowned in it: "Then I will use torture."

   "My son!" Gu Fei knelt down.

   There is no rush to do this kind of thing! Otherwise, the matter will fail, and people will hold on to the conversation!

"My lord, don't be in a hurry to do things in Beijing, and returning to Beijing in a hurry will not help!" Gu Fei knew what his family was worried about, and persuaded him, "My lord, do the things right now and gain a firm foothold in the court. What do you want to do, who can stop you?"

  Pei You's eyes were gloomy, and she slowly closed her eyes. After a while, her breath became calmer, and her tightly pursed lips loosened: "Tell Tu Bai to leave Beijing and come to Jiangning as soon as possible. The case of Jiangning must be resolved quickly."

  The screen kept flipping, and the trip to Jiangnan in the dream was not smooth. Even if Tu Bai brought a group of well-trained secret guards over, it took until July to get things done.

   When he returned to Beijing, the first news he got was that the prince of Ryukyu was visiting, and he died suddenly on the spot with a glass of poisoned wine at the dust-cleaning banquet.

  The carriage stopped suddenly at this moment, and Pei You suddenly opened his eyes.

  The familiar severe headache came again.

  The broken and complete pictures in the dream turned into sharp thorns, some of which disappeared without smoke after piercing through his mind, and some remained in his mind, as if they had become part of his memory.

  Pei You's eyes were a little dazed.

  What did he forget?

   "Miss Wen, are you okay?"

  The carriage had come to a complete stop, and Gu Fei's voice came from outside the carriage.

Pei You pushed open the car window, and when there was only a gap, he saw the slender Qianbi figure, squatting slightly on the ground, holding a four-year-old child in his arms, coaxing very gently: "I can't do it after I tell you." Running too fast, right? Fortunately, I pulled you back, otherwise you would be injured, and Daddy would be very sad."

  The child's face was pale with fright, but he still hooked her neck and said in a milky voice: "Aren't you sad?"

  She burst out laughing.

  Sunlight fell into her slightly curved eyes again.

-

  Wen Ning asked Wen Lan to make an appointment with Yan Li to go to Tianshan Pond to appreciate lotus today, and wanted to get in touch with Yan Li again, and meet his four-year-old son by the way.

   One is to see if the two are really eye-catching, and the other is that the child will not lie. From the child, we can find out some of the true temperament of Mr. Yan.

   I don't want Yan Li to be an ordinary person, but the four-year-old boy is a beautiful girl with a sweet mouth. When we met, he shyly pulled her sleeve: "Sister, you are so good-looking."

  After admiring the lotus, he dragged her to Yuntinglou for dinner.

   It's just that Chang'an Avenue in the evening was quite noisy. Wen Lan and Yan Li walked behind, and the young master dragged her forward. She was accidentally hit by a passing carriage.

   "Then aren't you sad?" Yan Chu asked her crisply while hugging her neck.

  Wen Ning burst out laughing, pinching his face: "Of course I'm sad too."

   After finishing speaking, he remembered the "Miss Wen" just now. Looking up, it was actually Gu Fei who got off the carriage.

  Yan Li, who was behind, probably saw the movement in front, and just strode over: "Miss Wen, what's wrong? Are you all right?"

  Wen Ning didn't bother to answer. When she saw Gu Fei, she subconsciously looked at the carriage behind.

  The window of the car was half open, and Pei You was behind the window, his black clothes made his complexion extraordinarily fair. He was sitting upright, and she was half squatting down, her eyelids drooping slightly, and a pair of dark eyes fell on her body.

  She turned her eyes and looked over, before he could see the color of his eyes clearly, he closed the window with a "snap" as if he had been stabbed by something.

   "Gu Fei, go home."
