"I think you are toasting and not eating and drinking, okay, in the future, we will meet often, and there will be a period later." Qin Yifeng said, picked up an apple on the plate, shook it, and walked away.

"One apple, two copper plates, now you owe me!" Ning Xi shouted at Qin Yifeng's back. As soon as the words came out, she regretted it, and her expression darkened, like a person, a person who made herself hate. When did you learn to be as calculating as him?

The next day.

"What's going on? Who's out there? Chang Sheng came back from outside and was surprised to see several people in black suits standing in front of the store.

"What's wrong?" Ning Xi glanced outside, and this look was also stunned.

Thinking of the person who called himself the uncle yesterday, Ning Xi suddenly understood, she walked up to Chang Sheng and ordered: "Big brother, you take your sister-in-law out of the city to avoid it first." Nian'er is about to give birth, let her give birth to the child with peace of mind. It's good that Lin Yuan and I are here. ”

"Brother Chang," Nian'er said, "You don't care about me, that person is not easy to mess with, Xi'er is too impulsive this time, I'm afraid something will happen to her." ”

"You can have a baby with peace of mind, I have nothing to do." Ning Xi looked straight ahead, his expression gloomy, "Yu Rui betrayed me, Xiuwen calculated me, Hui'er also deceived me, and now that I am in Shanghai, I owe so many debts inexplicably." Who am I messing with, and why are you bullying me? At this, she was a little excited, and her shoulders trembled.

"Gege......" Chang Sheng couldn't help but say.

"I forgot again," Nian'er slapped him on the head, "stupid, you always forgot to change your name!" Now that the Qing Dynasty has just gone, the revolutionary parties are everywhere, shouting all day long to expel the Manchurians, you want to kill us! He turned to Ning Xi again, "Xi'er, don't be angry, I'll teach him a lesson for you." ”

"Ahh Lady, I was wrong, don't fight, okay? Chang Sheng said with a bitter face.

Ning Xi smiled bitterly, she knew that she was deliberately amusing her in order to divert her attention.

"What are you doing, don't get out of here!" Lin Yuan's shouts came from outside.

Ning Xi hurriedly walked out of the city, and Nian'er also wanted to follow out of the road, but was stopped by Chang Sheng: "You stay well, I'll go." ”

"Sister, they are standing at the door, and when they see the guests, they stare at them, you see, no one dares to come in, how can we do business?" Lin Yuan shouted unconvinced. Since he bowed, he has changed his words, but he is not used to calling Ning Xi's name, so he simply calls him "sister".

"Lin Yuan, come in with me first, ignore them, just treat them as radish and cabbage." Ning Xi said, glaring at the nearest gatekeeper by the way.

Lin Yuan was a little unwilling, but when he saw that those people didn't say a word, he looked at him coldly, and he didn't have a seizure, so he had to go back to the house with Ning Xi in a sneer.

"Lin Yuan," Ning Xi looked out the window and lowered his voice, "I thought of a way." Isn't there a small cart in the backyard? We cook the meals here and sell them. I see that there are many construction sites on the west side of the city, and the people over there must need them. ”

"Good way!" Lin Yuan was happy and exclaimed, "Sister is smart!" ”

"Be quiet," Ning Xi looked out the window again, and continued, "Since you don't have any opinions, then I'll go cook." With my brother and sister-in-law watching here, there must be nothing wrong. After a while, I've made a meal, and you and I go out the back door, and they won't stop me, right? ”

"Don't worry," Lin Yuan also lowered his voice, "They just stopped the people outside from coming in, and they didn't let the people inside out." ”

After preparing the meal and moving into the car, Ning Xi and Lin Yuan went out smoothly.

For several days, I used this method, and my business was not affected. On this day, when they were pushing the cart back, they met Aunt Jiang, who often came to eat at the guest house. When Aunt Jiang saw Lin Yuan, she was surprised and said, "Young man...... Aren't you the one who runs the diner's house? ”

"It's me." Lin Yuan said with some embarrassment.

"Hey," Mrs. Jiang said babblingly, "This shop is doing a good job, how can it change the cart to come out, how hard it is." Who are the people who stand at the door all day, they stare at people when they see them, and they are afraid of death. You guys...... Did you provoke someone you shouldn't mess with? ”

"Not really." Ning Xi stood in front of Aunt Jiang and said softly.

"This is ......," Aunt Jiang asked.

"This is our ......"

"I'm the cook lady of the restaurant." Ning Xi replied first.

"Oh, the cook," Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, "I'm ashamed to say that, I love to eat the dishes in your store, and I finally met the cook herself today." ”

"I see," Ning Xi said with a smile, "It's really a little woman's luck to be able to meet your taste, auntie." The fact that the eldest lady said just now is a misunderstanding, but recently, some poor people with eye diseases came to the store, and the owner had the intention to take them in, but they were disabled, and there was really no way to help in the store, and they were afraid that unprovoked charity would hurt their self-esteem, so they let them stand at the door of the store to support a façade, at least they looked vicious, and they could use a bodyguard. Because of his eye disease, looking at people is like staring at people, and now he scares away the guests, and the words of the house have been exported, and it is not easy to take them back, which is really a dilemma. ”

"I see," Aunt Jiang said, "I thought something was wrong." You have a good heart in charge of the family, and we naturally cannot stand idly by and watch ourselves for the sake of others. Don't worry, I'm going to tell my friends and let them continue to come to your store! ”

"If Aunt Jiang is willing to help, the little woman will naturally be very grateful." Ning Xi thanked him.

As soon as Aunt Jiang left, Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Sister, you are really amazing!" I almost believed that lie just now! ”

"I also saw Aunt Jiang, and I thought about it temporarily." Ning Xi said, "This Aunt Jiang has always been popular, and she likes to spread the word around, I believe she will spread the news soon." Let's go back, it's time for the shop to reopen. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the guests to arrive. Since Ningxi came to Shanghai, although there are still many difficulties, the business of the restaurant is always very good. Ning Xi is from the capital, and he was born in the palace, and the dishes he makes can only be eaten by the princes and nobles of the capital on weekdays, which is the main reason.

The people guarding the door saw the steady stream of guests, and ignored their glare, and some even threw strange glances at them, so they had to be in a hurry. There was no way, Qin Ye only ordered them to stay at the door to scare people, but they didn't let them do it, and they didn't dare to make their own decisions.

"It's useless!" When Qin Yifeng heard the report from his subordinates, he just muttered, glared at them again, and let them go down. People who work under Qin Yifeng know that this Qin Ye rarely gets angry on weekdays. But once the fire starts...... The consequences are severe.

After sending away his subordinates, Qin Yifeng leaned back in his chair boredly. At his desk, there is a photograph of a young woman. The woman was still dressed in the same way as before, smiling gently and serenely. Qin Yifeng looked at the woman in the photo, couldn't help but take it in front of him, and looked at it carefully, with a rare tenderness in his eyes. Yingxian, are you okay over there alone? I'm sorry to let you follow such an irresponsible husband as me.

Xu Yingxian, his wife. She was the daughter of her father's friend, and they hadn't met before. After the two fathers agreed, the marriage was arranged, and he was only sixteen years old at the time, but he already had his own business.

Father's arrangement, he did not have any opinion. His mother died early, and his father raised him alone, and he followed his father all over the country. I heard that their Qin family was originally an important minister of the imperial court, but his grandfather participated in the reform of the law that year, and after the failure, he was punished by the Empress Dowager Cixi at that time. His father was an illegitimate child, so he escaped and followed his grandmother away.

Since he was a child, his father taught him that if he wants to survive in troubled times, he must make himself strong. Therefore, he has taken a gun, killed people, and in one struggle after another, he has become cold-blooded. In his opinion, a man should focus on his career, and as for the love of children and the like, it will only become a personal bond.

This kind of life made him never believe in love, let alone have any extravagant hopes. But he knew that since he married this woman, she was his relative, and it was his responsibility to treat her well.

After getting married, he was still busy with his own affairs, and after he was done, he found time to spend with her. She never asked, just silently helped him wash his clothes and serve him a hot meal.

The so-called happiness is probably like this. In order to give her a better life, he worked harder. They are married in harmony and almost never quarrel.

However, in the third year of their marriage, one of his allies in Beijing ran into difficulties and needed him to visit in person. At that time, Yingxian was a little sick, and when she learned that he was leaving, she just grabbed his hand and asked, "Can you stay with me for a while?" ”

He didn't answer directly, just said, "Wait until I'll come back." ”

When the bad news came, he was discussing the purchase of land with a young master of a banner family. When he hurried back with everything down, the cold urn made his heart twist, and he didn't even see her body. Listening to Yingxian's father, when she was dying, she repeatedly told everyone that she must be cremated as soon as she died - she didn't want him to see her dead. It turned out that Yingxian was not a minor illness at all. She had long known that her time was running out, and she specially told the doctor not to tell anyone.

From then on, his heart was full of self-reproach – even though everyone told him that it was not his fault. Fortunately, Yingxian still left a photo before her death, which was not long after they got married, and he begged her to take it. She has been raised in a boudoir since she was a child, and she has almost no contact with things outside, and she has a strong resistance to things from the West. It was still him, who coaxed him for a long time before she was willing to go to the photo studio with him.
