Chapter 172: Help
Wan Ning didn't move her steps, and instructed Tong's mother, "Take the post and make a formal announcement, and say that my uncle and I will come to see Mr." ”
Now that you have walked to the door, there is no reason to turn around and leave.
It's one thing for Mr. Yang Jing not to invite them in, it's another thing for them to turn around and leave.
Tong's mother went in to hand over the post, and after a while, the next person came over and said: "Master Shen Si, Miss Yao Qi, our husband said that he knows, the New Year's gift will be put down, please go back!" ”
Shen Jingyuan didn't expect things to be so easy, and glanced at Wan Ning with a smile, "Let the steward send things in." "No gentleman has such a big temper, and he doesn't see anyone when he comes to give New Year's gifts, but for Mr. Yang Jing, it is already very polite to speak like this.
After all, Yang Jing is a person who can't even invite the country's eunuchs.
Just because Brother Kun is studying here, I don't know how many people envy him.
What's more, today may not be a good time, Cui Yiting is in the courtyard, and they always can't listen to Mr. Yang Jing scolding Cui Yiting.
Shen Jingyuan was just about to turn around, and Wan Ning said: "I'm afraid that the dim sum brought from home won't be hot in the kitchen for Mr. to eat, so I have to explain it." ”
The servant nodded, and then squatted down and saluted, "Then the slave will go and tell the gentleman again." ”
Shen Jingyuan looked at Wan Ning, "Didn't your mother already make the dim sum?" Why do you have to do it. ”
Wan Ning smiled slightly, "Uncle doesn't know these things, how can the dim sum be made in advance, and it will be cold when it is delivered, or Brother Kun said that tomorrow is the Xia Yuan Festival, and Mr. will not return to his hometown and can only sacrifice his ancestors in the courtyard, so we will prepare the sacrifices and fasting in advance." Lest the gentleman be understaffed here. ”
After Wan Ning finished speaking, she glanced at Cui Yiting in the courtyard.
He didn't seem to have moved for such a long time, Brother Kun said that Mr. Yang Jing had taught a student in the past. Obviously, he was able to enter the imperial examination but refused to leave the ancestral shade, so Mr. Yang Jing was so angry that he fell seriously ill.
That person is Cui Yiting?
"Miss Seven," said the servant, "then I would like you to tell the cook." ”
Wan Ning took Tong's mother to the small kitchen together.
……
Yang Jing listened to Brother Kun's endorsement, the scholar brought hot tea, and there were a few drops of water hanging on the tea lid, and the scholar hurriedly whispered guilty. "It's snowing outside, and when I brought it from the hall, I didn't expect it to get snowflakes."
Yang Jing frowned. It's snowing outside?
After the scholar finished speaking, the servant brought another brazier.
The room was steaming, but Cui Yiting was kneeling outside.
"Sir." Brother Kun called twice before Yang Jing came back to his senses.
"Carry on." Yang Jing commanded.
"Sir, the student has finished memorizing."
Yang Jing glanced at the hourglass next to him. It's time to eat.
"Let people set the meal!"
Yang Jing commanded lightly.
The servant immediately went to the kitchenette.
A moment of effort. Some people brought up the food one after another, and the hot food overflowed with aroma, and at first glance, it was not prepared by their own cook.
Yang Jing looked at Brother Kun who was standing next to him.
"Is Fourth Master Shen gone?"
The steward immediately came up and said, "Not yet, I'm waiting for Miss Yao Qi." ”
Miss Yao Qi is the daughter of the Shen family, with Shen Yuankun studying here, Yang Jing has also heard about the Shen family, Miss Yao Qi not only saved the Shen family's shop, but also bought a field in Xuanfu.
What a smart person can do that.
If someone else has such a ability. He definitely won't go to the kitchen to prepare snacks for him, after all, he's just a Xixi.
Not arrogant or impatient. It is rare to have such a character, because of Miss Yao Qi, he also has a good impression of the Shen family, and the things sent by the Shen family are not gold and silver, most of them are just focused on the heart, so it is not good for him to excuse himself three times and twice.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Jing said: "Invite Fourth Master Shen over, it's a cold day, and it's snowing outside, it's rare that Fourth Master Shen has been waiting and hasn't left." ”
……
Shen Jingyuan looked at Wan Ning, "What do I want to say when I go in?" ”
In the face of Yang Jing, Shen Jingyuan was somewhat cautious, for fear that something wrong would anger Mr. Yang Jing.
"Uncle is just chatting casually, since Mr. Yang Jing stays with you, he won't care about this."
It's not about learning, my uncle is a little too careful.
Shen Jingyuan glanced at Cui Yiting in the courtyard, "What should Master Cui do?" ”
There was no one else in the kitchen, Wan Ning looked at the boiling soup in the pot, "Uncle wants to help Master Cui?" ”
Cui Yiting helped the Shen family so much, and he didn't need his help on weekdays, but now that he met it, he didn't know where to start, Shen Jingyuan said: "I don't know how to say it." ”
Wan Ning smiled and said, "Uncle don't mention Master Cui, just talk about our Shen family." ”
"You mean, our family was framed?"
Wan Ning nodded, "As long as I say this, my uncle can naturally mention Master Cui." ”
Without Cui Yiting's help, Jiang Zhong would not have been so smoothly caught, and the Criminal Department would not have carefully interrogated Jiang Zhong, Mr. Yang Jing was angry Cui Yiting did not have the Toad Palace, and the more angry he was, the more he cared about Cui Yiting, a student.
Hearing that his students had done so many things, Mr. Yang Jing could only be happy in his heart.
sent his uncle to prison, investigated Nan Zhili and Hubu for greedy ink, and now saved the old general Chen Wenshi, but these thankless errands promoted the rectification of the imperial court.
What if you get into the Jinshi?
At most, I will enter the Hanlin Academy, when will I be able to do such a thing.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has never lacked jinshi, but it lacks officials like Cui Yiting.
"Our family is a businessman, this year's drought but can still see the surplus grain in Nanzhili, all of which are the imperial court to check the merit of greedy ink, uncle will follow these words, if Mr. Yang Jing asked if he spoke for Cui Yiting, his uncle said that Cui Yiting took the path of a military general, so kneeling outside, I was afraid of leaving injuries, Cui Yiting had already helped the Shen family, and it is not a bad thing to know how to repay the grace, why not say a few words."
Seeing her uncle leave, Wan Ning shrunk her hand into a warm condom.
Mother Tong said: "Mr. Yang Jing also followed our ship to Beijing, and at that time, we didn't see that Master Cui was Mr. Yang Jing's student. ”
It can be seen how much Mr. Yang Jing expects from Cui Yiting. expected him to be a blockbuster in the imperial examination, but he didn't expect Cui Yiting to find an official position by himself.
From Taixing to Beijing, Cui Yiting must have apologized to Mr. Yang Jing.
Like to his uncle. is so affectionate to the husband who taught herself, kneeling in the small courtyard on a snowy day looks a little humble, but it makes her feel a little calm.
No matter what, Cui Yiting always insists on his own truth.
……
Listening to Shen Jingyuan's words, Yang Jing slowly frowned, knowing that Shen Si was here to talk about it, and when he heard what Cui Yiting had done, he didn't open his mouth to interrupt Shen Jingyuan.
"Mr. Yang has so much knowledge. Didn't you go to the Guozijian either? ”
Yang Jing couldn't cry or laugh, a businessman could also say such a thing.
"You may not be able to do such a thing in the entrance examination," Shen Jingyuan said. "Speaking of which, I still feel sorry for Mr., I just heard that Master Cui did not end the imperial examination, and I feel lucky. Otherwise, our Shen family and the businessmen of Nanzhili don't know what will happen. ”
That's all that is said and done. Shen Jingyuan talked about his injury again.
"When I was young, I broke my knee and froze, as long as I had to walk with a limp in winter, the older I get, the worse it gets, and my family learned to make knee pads.
Yang Jing did not speak.
Brother Kun glanced at the scholar, and the scholar came up and said, "Sir, since Fourth Master Shen and Second Master Cui know each other. It's better to invite Second Master Cui in. ”
Brother Kun was busy moving the brocade.
Yang Jing didn't say anything.
The scholar's face showed a little surprise, "That'...... The small one went and pleased. ”
The scholar took three steps and made two steps to pass the news to Cui Yiting. Cui Yiting slowly stood up and whispered a few words to the scholar, who hurriedly went to the house to serve first.
Cui Yiting stepped on the snow and entered the small kitchen.
Lifting the curtain, Wan Ning, who was standing in the room, turned her head and saw the green clothes, Wan Ning couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The cook hurriedly stepped forward.
"Prepare a cup of hot tea, I'll serve it to Mr. Yang."
As soon as the cook's eyes moved, Cui Yiting's eyes fell on Wanning, and when everyone didn't care, he bent down and thanked him.
The soup in the pot was "gurgling" and tumbling.
Chai He "crackled" in the stove from time to time.
The whole room was noisy but quiet.
The steaming heat stained his eyebrows, making his eyes brighter, his gaze was very focused, even a little childish, looking at Wanning smiling and nodding lightly, his smile deepened, and his cheeks, which were a little reddened by the heat, made him a little gorgeous.
The cook poured the tea, and he looked at her like this, making her feel as if she was the only one in the room.
It wasn't until the cook came over that he naturally looked away and withdrew with the tea in an orderly manner.
"Miss," Mother Tong said in a low voice, "Master Cui seems to know that it was Miss who helped. ”
After entering the Yang family, she didn't even go out of the kitchen, and Cui Yiting shouldn't know what was said in the house, but how could she think that she was helping, how could Cui Yiting also help the Shen family, she couldn't ignore it because she avoided suspicion, but she had tried her best to leave no traces.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yiting came straight over.
……
After preparing the meal, Wanning took Tong's mother back to Yao's house.
As soon as she entered the door, Luo Ying came over and said, "Miss, Miss Yu has sent a letter and wants to ask you out with her, and she also sent a post." ”
Wan Ning walked into the room and sat down, opened Yu Qingmei's letter and looked at it.
Tong's mother said, "I don't know what's going on." ”
"The cousin Yu Qingmei mentioned to me before said that she was very sick and begged me to go over with her to have a look."
Wan Ning said and opened the post, which read: Yong'an Hou Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qingmei's cousin was the Pei family.
Wan Ning had just put down the post, and the mother of the housekeeper outside came in quickly and said, "Miss, there is a waiter in our house, I heard that my wife is sick, please come over and talk." ”
Wan Ning hurriedly looked at Mother Tong, "Take out my goose-yellow gown." ”
