Chapter 073: Suspicion
The little Γ· said β Net], the β little Γ· said β Net],
Lan Yan and Bai Zhi walked into the room, and Wei Ning saw that their faces looked very haggard.
After Wei Ning and Wei Lingfeng got married, Wei Lingfeng never went to their room again. In this regard, Yang also has a lot of complaints. But before Wei Lingfeng married Wei Ning, he was not very close to women, and it was normal not to go to their room.
It's just that Lan Yan is very uncomfortable, especially when Wei Lingfeng planned to send her out of the house before, which caused her to cry every day, and when she came to Wei Ning's place to ask for peace every day, her eyes were red.
"Hello ma'am." Lan Yan and Bai Zhi saw Wei Ning and saluted Wei Ning as usual.
Wei Ning nodded. These two Tongfang are actually quite sensible and obedient, and they never block her.
"You come so punctually every day, I have to get up every day." Wei Ning smiled and said to them, "Sit down." Wei Ning pointed to the chair next to the table, and said to Shu Jin, "Serve them tea." β
Lan Yan and Bai Zhi sat down next to Wei Ning according to their words, and Shu Jin quickly served each of them a cup of ginseng tea. Lan Yan was more shy, smiled at Wei Ning, and then picked up the tea and drank it, but Bai Zhi sat still.
"Didn't scare you last night, did you?" Wei Ning used the eight-treasure porridge brought by Shu Jin, and pushed the sugar steamed cheese in front of him in front of Lan Yan and Bai Zhi.
"It's okay. I slept more soundly. When I woke up, the riot was over. I just don't know how Angelica is doing. Lan Yan replied truthfully.
"I'm fine. I heard the commotion, but I stayed in the room and didn't dare to go out. Bai Zhi said.
Wei Ning smiled: "It's good that you're not scared." Try it, the chef skills of Tamei Yuan are still good. This candied steamed cheese is better than my cook's. β
"The three chefs in this plum garden were all invited by the prince when the lady and the prince were about to get married. Because he knew that his wife loved to eat dim sum, the prince also specially invited Master Lu Fenglu, the proud apprentice of Zhao Jiaxuan of Mingyue Building, from Huazhou, to raise him in Tamei Garden and make snacks for his wife. β
It was Angelica Angelica who said this. Wei Ning was very surprised when she heard what Bai Zhi said. She is originally from Huazhou, so she naturally knows Zhao Jiaxuan's name. When she was young, Xu often took her to Mingyue Tower to eat snacks. This Zhao Jiaxuan is very old, and now he has long since retired from Mingyue Tower. But he has three apprentices under his knees, among which Lu Feng is his protΓ©gΓ©, and his skills are deeply inherited by Zhao Jiaxuan.
"I really don't know, if you don't say it." Wei Ning said, seeing Lan Yan staring at the sugar steamed cheese on the table in a daze, so he took a piece with his hand, handed it to Lan Yan's mouth, and said with a smile: "Come, taste it." I said that this dim sum is better than my cook, and it turned out that it was made by Master Lu. β
Lan Yan hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the snack handed over by Wei Ning, opened his mouth and took a bite.
The entrance is sweet but not greasy, and the mouth is full of the fragrance of halva. It is indeed a first-class delicacy. But when Lan Yan eats it in his mouth, it is bitter.
Wei Ning also took a piece for Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi reached out to take it, but her expression was a little unnatural.
Wei Ning realized that Bai Zhi's wrist seemed to be injured, and through the gap in the sleeve, Wei Ning saw that Bai Zhi's wrist was wrapped with gauze.
Out of the doctor's sensitivity, Wei Ning asked, "Bai Zhi, what's wrong with your hand?" β
Bai Zhi's hand holding the sugar cake shook a little, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's nothing, I accidentally bumped into it." β
"I'll see." Wei Ning was very concerned about the patients, and grabbed Bai Zhi's hand, wanting to show Bai Zhi's wrist.
Bai Zhi's beautiful face stiffened, and she wanted to withdraw her hand from Wei Ning's hand, but it was too late.
Wei Ning grabbed Bai Zhi's wrist, and his expression changed.
How can this feel so similar!
The Assassin from last night had the same slender wrists. So Wei Ning could conclude that the person was a woman.
Wei Ning looked at Bai Zhi suspiciously, and Bai Zhi also looked at her. The two looked at each other, and Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly.
"It's just a minor injury, and it's not in the way." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she withdrew her hand from Wei Ning's hand.
She stood up, saluted Wei Ning, and said, "There are still some embroidery work in my room that has not been completed, and if Madame has nothing to do, Bai Zhi will go back first." β
When Lan Yan saw Bai Zhi say this, he also stood up, wanting to say goodbye to Wei Ning. Anyway, sitting here and eating snacks is not a taste, rather than letting others see the jokes, it is better to go back to your own room.
"Wait." Wei Ning remained silent, smiled at them, and said, "Speaking of embroidery, dare to ask Bai Zhi, what have you been doing lately?" β
Bai Zhi didn't expect Wei Ning to ask her this, paused for a moment, and said, "It's nothing." It's just embroidering some gadgets by yourself, embroidering and playing. β
"I've been here for a long time, and I don't know how your embroidery is. In fact, I've been wanting to sew a robe for the prince recently, but my embroidery is really not good, and now it's just right, the three of us will discuss it together. If we can, how about the three of us sewing a robe for the prince together? β
When Lan Yan heard what Wei Ning said, his face suddenly bloomed. In the past, she often made handkerchiefs, shoes and clothes for Wei Lingfeng, but Wei Lingfeng never accepted it. It's just that if these things are missing, you can go to the shop to buy them, and you don't need to spend so much effort. Wei Lingfeng's refusal once made Lan Yan sad and sad for a while. What woman doesn't want her beloved man to wear clothes and shoes made by herself, but it's a pity that Wei Lingfeng never had a place for her in his heart.
"How can that be. How can we carve insect skills, how to make clothes for the prince, Mrs. is really too exalted to us. Bai Zhi said, and couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, this lady's heart is really big. For Lan Yan's obvious admiration, she always has an indifferent attitude, but is very close to Lan Yan.
Lan Yan likes Shiziye, and the mansion is well known, but Wei Lingfeng doesn't know. Although her appearance with Lan Yan is not stunning, she is also a rare beauty. When Wei Ning first got married, Bai Zhi thought that Wei Ning would send them away quickly, even if she wouldn't drive them away, at least she would embarrass them. But what she didn't expect was that instead of doing this, Wei Ning was polite to them. Even the last time the prince wanted to send them out of the house, in the end, Wei Ning was dissuaded by the side, and the matter was finally stopped.
Bai Zhi didn't know what Wei Ning thought in her heart, so she didn't forget it, she had always been lukewarm to Wei Lingfeng. But Lan Yan likes it so obviously, can this lady of the main house endure it?
Now he also said that he wanted to pull the two of them to make clothes for Wei Lingfeng...... With such a generous lady, Bai Zhi felt that it was the first time she had seen her.
"We are all a family, and it is our obligation to take care of the prince. Where does this come from? Wei Ning smiled and asked Shu Jin to bring the sewing basket and fabric.
In fact, she had no intention of making clothes for Wei Lingfeng, these fabrics were prepared for her by the Xu family when she got married. Usually she doesn't like to be a female worker, at best, she will make a bed dress for Brother Hao'er to wear for children, and ask the little maid to send it to Xu's.
Now she was pulling Lan Yan and Bai Zhi, just to test one of her conjectures.
"Sit." Wei Ning took the lead in picking up a piece of fabric and handed it to Lan Yan. Lan Yan is just a room, even if she wants to make clothes for Wei Lingfeng, she has never seen such a good fabric, and she is suddenly very envious in her eyes, Wei Ning handed it to her, and she took it and grinded it in her hand.
Bai Zhi saw that Lan Yan had no intention of rejecting Wei Ning, and her face was a little unbearable. She has always looked down on Lan Yan, feeling that she has no self-love, and always likes to stick to Wei Lingfeng. Forget it, people don't appreciate it, and they always like to feel sorry for themselves.
"Bai Zhi, this is the fabric I married, you touch this Shu brocade. It's not that I'm boasting, but I didn't buy this material in Jingzhou. Wei Ning handed Shu Jin to Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi smiled reluctantly, and reached out to take it.
"Madame is very right. This material is indeed of the highest quality, and presumably this kind of goods can only be compared with tribute. "Lan Yan is telling the truth, although the Duke of Wei is not a powerful man, it is better to be rich. Many things that the emperor didn't have, the Wei family could get.
Wei Ning made a look of enjoying Lan Yan's praise, she picked up scissors from the needlework, cut two small pieces of Shu brocade, handed them to Lan Yan and Bai Zhi, and said, "Why don't you embroider a small sample of this Shu brocade, see who embroiders well, and then I will choose one of you to make clothes for the prince with me?" I thought about it, and it was indeed too cumbersome to embroider with three people. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, this dress must be made quickly. β
"Madame, my embroidery has never been good. I'll leave this opportunity to Lan Yan. Bai Zhi said.
"You just said you were going back to your room to do the embroidery work. Bai Zhi, don't be modest. Come on, let's try it, I just want to learn it. β
When Bai Zhi heard Wei Ning say this, she couldn't wait to beat herself with a big mouth. Lan Yan saw that Bai Zhi took the initiative to give this opportunity to herself, and she was a little grateful. Bai Zhi has a relatively cold temperament, although they are both Wei Lingfeng's intercourse, but the two belong to the kind that neither good nor evil.
"Bai Zhi, you can try it, since Madame has said so, I also want to see your embroidery." Lan Yan said.
Wei Ning and Lan Yan kept looking at Bai Zhi, and Shu Jin also smiled and persuaded when he saw this: "Miss Bai Zhi, you can try it." This material has been cut for you. β
Saying this, Bai Zhi couldn't refuse, so she could only pick up the material and stand still.
Lan Yan had already taken the lead in sewing up. She often works as a female worker, in addition to making intimate clothes for Wei Lingfeng, she also often makes intimate clothes for Yang and the old lady. And Bai Zhi, holding the material in one hand, reached into the needle and thread with the other hand to take the needle and thread, and did not pick up the needle and thread several times.
Wei Ning noticed that Bai Zhi's hand to get the needle and thread happened to be the hand wrapped in the gauze, so she asked with concern, "Bai Zhi, what's wrong?" β
Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly and said, "My hand is injured and it is inconvenient to move, so I will change my hand." β
Bai Zhi changed one hand, holding the cloth with the injured hand, and the other hand to get the needle and thread, and then began to sew a small sample on the Shu brocade.
Wei Ning squinted at her and didn't speak.
