Chapter 59: Coping
Ning Xi stared at Xiao Yu's handifie that Meng Ying held in the palm of his hand, and nodded again and again.
instructed the green pothos to come into the house and get it, and followed Meng Ying to chat at the street gate.
Naturally, Ning Xi sat under the folding umbrella and had a small fan to fan the wind, while Meng Ying was exposed to the sun, and his expression was a little sluggish, but he still had to deal with Ning Xi.
The pothos was only a moment, so he came out with a brocade box, and handed over Meng Ying in a proper manner.
Meng Ying only felt that after a long time, he almost couldn't stand.
After receiving the jade pendant and handing over the letter, Meng Ying was on tiptoe, flew up to the wall and hurried back to his fate.
The schoolwork left by Mr. is a piece of cake for Ning Xi, but in the time of a stick of incense, a wonderful pen is completed.
Ning Xi's original artistic conception was that he was free and easy under the mountains and flowing water, but in the end, it was the poet who copied the poems under the moon holding the poetry collection in his hand, sitting and lying under the moonlight, the artistic conception was hazy, highlighting the unbridled leisure.
After the homework was completed, Ning Xi was lying on the paper on the table, but the soft lines of Danqing were a little worried.
If Su Qiao in her previous life handed in such a homework, she would definitely be praised by Mr., but what would happen if Ning Xi, who had never handed in her homework without learning or skill, handed in such a painting?
Ning Xi held his head with both hands, looking helpless.
Mr. Bao Buqi will think that she spent money to ask the scholars in the Fan Building to write and paint, and if she can't get praise, she will have to be reprimanded.
The gains outweigh the losses!
Ning Xi shook his head and sighed, while carefully folding the danqing, and resting on the soft collapse for a while, then he had an idea again.

When I learned the news of the second master of the Lu family, it was in the afternoon of the second day.
Ning Xi met Fugui who came to pass the word when she got out of school, and hurriedly suppressed the excitement that welled up in her heart, and hurriedly said goodbye to the friends who invited her to go out to play.
Pushed left and right by the green pothos cuiqiao, and followed Fugui quickly to a slightly remote alley on the outskirts of Beijing.
Along the way, Fugui roughly talked about the news of staring at Lu Yao, the second master of the Lu family, for the past two days, and finally stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and said proudly: "It's also a small loss, and I haven't blinked for two days and two nights, and this second master Lu is really cunning." ”
Lu Yao is a businessman, shrewd and cunning, and what they do is to lose their heads, how can they do it if they are not careful?
"Except for going out and staying in this alley for three hours today, there is nothing unusual?"
Ning Xi and a few people rushed to the edge of the alley but stopped, and now it is easy to go in rashly and meet Lu Yao, although Lu Yao is here alone, but it is inevitable to startle the snake, so you still have to be careful.
Fugui nodded, bowed and replied: "That's right, Second Master Lu has been in the house and in the shop for the past two days, only today he walked out of the back door of the shop and took two carriages to get here, and it has been three hours since he went in, and he hasn't come out yet." ”
Ning Xi's eyes were slightly narrow, staring at the narrow but bottomless alley, looking at the two courtyards scattered on both sides, and only after half a sound, he said: "Go and see who lives here, and see if there are any stalking around, I'll wait for you in the restaurant opposite." ”
"Yes."
Fugui received the order and dodged into the alley, but after half an hour, he trotted back.
"Miss Hui's words, there are only three families living in this alley, and the rest are idle, one door is not locked, one old and one young are drying grain in the yard, and there is a family with colorful children's clothes drying in front of the door, there is a faint cry, the door of the last house is closed, but the door of the house is newly painted with red paint, and the courtyard wall is much higher than the other two, like a new one, Lu Erye should be there, the yard is very quiet, and the small ones dare not stay for a long time."
When he heard "newly painted red paint, newly built high walls", Ning Xi's eyelids jumped, took a sip of tea with a cup, and nodded, "I want to buy the yard closest to that house, let's ...... Let's go first. ”
Fugui observed carefully, that courtyard should be Lu Yao's secret place, what secrets were hidden there Ning Xi didn't know, but now her legs and feet were inconvenient, and the four of them had some kung fu in addition to Fugui, and there were two delicate girls left with her, who couldn't walk.
It is difficult to move, and it is easy to startle snakes.
The green pothos handed Fugui a bag of silver, and after Fugui accepted it, he gave Ning Xi a deep blessing, and then went on an errand.
As for auspiciousness, he stared at Lu Houye every day, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
Lu Houye, like an ordinary idle official, went back to the house every day to order a meal, and sometimes followed his old friends to drink tea and taste poetry, and his life was extremely comfortable.
And those old friends were all Lu Si's classmates back then, and they are not on duty in the court now, and the names of these people did not appear in the big case that year.
The quieter Lu Si was, the more uneasy Ning Xi felt.
was divorced by the Ji family, and slapped by the Ning family, with Lu Si's retributive temperament, it is impossible to do nothing.
But right now, the manpower is limited, and Lu Si is still moving, so he really can't find any key breakthroughs.
You can only look for clues from Second Master Lu first.

On the day that Lu Sanniang, Du Liuniang and Qin Erniang returned to the academy, Ning Xi was being carried into the courtyard by Wu Ziyao and Wu Zimin like a queen.
Behind him, Ji Shuyuan, Zheng Qiuyue and Su Qiao, who were chattering non-stop.
Huhula, a group of people didn't look at each other, and the three people who sat under the begonia tree with different expressions entered the school directly.
The wind brought up along the way blew like a slap, and the faces of the three people turned red instantly.
Lu Ruoyan's face was gloomy, and a pair of willow eyebrows were about to fly.
Grabbed the Juanpa in his hand tightly and took a sip.
"Someday, I'm going to get that slut on his knees in front of me!"
Lu Ruoyan was ruthless, her originally delicate face was slightly distorted at the moment, and there was a lot of yin damage in the ruthlessness.
After being sick for so many days, she finally came back to her senses from the dream of the Ji family's grandmother, and now she not only hates Ning Xi, but also hates Ji Heng!
Du Ruhuan's face was not very good, staring at Ning Xi's high back, only feeling upset.
Compared with Lu Ruoyan, she is much calmer.
After all, it was their Lu family who was divorced by the Ji family, although in the end, the faces of the three of them were beaten hard by the Ning family, and their family also took 100,000 taels of silver to pay out, but in the end, their Du family was not stupid enough to be the land of the Lu family.
Afterwards, the Yuan family also found someone to visit the Ning family, in order for her unsuccessful brother not to have many enemies in vain in the future, this matter can only be regarded as a small friction between neighbors, and it has long been turned into a small matter.
As for Qin Xiao, he kept his head down and didn't say a word, and he didn't have too much expression on his face, and silently walked past Lu Ruoyan with his schoolbag.
She really wants to stay away from Lu Ruoyan completely, in the past, there was a family affair of the Ji family, and she was a young lady of the Hou Mansion, but now some things have become more subtle.
If you continue to be with her, I don't know if it will cause even more embarrassing things.
Their Qin family can't help her toss!
Qin Xiaocai took a step, and Du Ruhuan also straightened the bead hairpin on his head and prepared to leave.
Lu Ruoyan's gaze retracted from the small door facing the school hall and fell to the back of the two of them leaving one after the other, her face trembled, and she became a little colder.
With a light snort, he followed into the academy.
