38. The deceased
Ning Qiwei woke up after sleeping until three poles of the sun, she stretched the muscles and bones of her whole body, and turned over and got up. "Huh! Today's weather is good. It should be good to go shopping. Ning Qiwei leaned on the window, looking at the sunlight floating in the green leaves. By the way, you can still see the lanterns that I didn't see last night. Ning Qiwei thought of this, and she quickly ran to the hanger.
The "squeak" door opened a small crack, and Ning Qiwei quietly poked her head out of the crack in the door. Hehe! Not a single one. Let's go. Ning Qiwei gently opened the door wider, then walked out of the door with her hands and feet, and then turned around and gently closed it. Ahh Succeed with flying colors! Ning Qiwei tried her best to clear her steps and not make a sound. "Where are you going?" A deep voice came from behind Ning Qiwei, and Ning Qiwei was startled. Ning Qiwei turned her head, and she saw Wen Yufeng standing at the door with a gloomy face.
"Where are you going?" Wen Yufeng walked quickly to Ning Qiwei. "I'll go to the lake and blow the wind." Ning Qiwei squeezed out a smile and said. "Really? That's good. I'll go with you to the lake. Wen Yufeng said lightly. No. I know the road myself. Ning Qiwei smiled. I also want to go and blow the wind. Wen Yufeng's tone was still light. Okay, let's go! Ning Qiwei turned around and smiled secretly.
"You're tired of walking! Sit on the railing and rest for a while. Wen Yufeng took out his handkerchief and wiped it gently. Good. Ning Qiwei smiled. Did you sleep well last night? "Wen Yufeng is extremely gentle." That's great! Ning Qiwei said with a smile. A gentle breeze blows on the tranquil surface of the lake, carrying fresh water vapor. "Can you stay in the house all the time?" Wen Yufeng suddenly asked very seriously.
"Stay in the house... I am hungry! Ning Qiwei secretly said that it wasn't to suffocate me, she quickly changed the topic. Hungry. I'll ask Xin'er to prepare a snack for you. Wen Yufeng said and stood up. Xin'er! Wen Yufeng shouted into the depths of the corridor. Go and prepare me some pastries, I don't want them to be prepared. Ning Qiwei said lightly. Okay, I'll get you ready to go. You're waiting here. As Wen Yufeng spoke, he walked towards the depths of the corridor.
"Hehe, I'm out of the house!" Ning Qiwei showed a sly smile. Ning Qiwei walked forward along the corridor on the edge of the quiet lake, and the Nine Lotus Palace lamps on the corridor swayed in the wind, echoing the shadows reflected in the lake, with a different kind of leisure. Ning Qiwei thought of the lively street, and her pace sped up a little.
Hey, how did I get to the Xinyu Building where I live, shouldn't I go to the door of the house. Confused. Ning Qiwei turned around but bumped into someone. Ning Qiwei hurriedly took a few steps back, and looked intently, Wen Yufeng was standing in front of her. Wen Yufeng held the food box in his hand and stood straight in front of Ning Qiwei. "Oh, I'll wander around." Ning Qiwei was a "thief" and covered up.
"Oh, let's go to the pavilion for a snack!" Wen Yufeng pointed to the gazebo not far away and said softly. "Oh, good." Ning Qiwei nodded obediently and walked straight to the pavilion. Wen Yufeng took out a drop of pastry from the food box and said gently: "This is lotus seed cake." Lotus seeds are harvested in the quiet lake during the summer months. You taste it. Ning Qiwei reached out and picked up a piece of pastry from the plate, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. Well, it's delicious. Ning Qiwei nodded lightly while eating the pastry. There's a lot more to it. Dense orange manuscript, chrysanthemum cake ,..." Wen Yufeng took out the pastries in the food box and set a full table.
"I'm so thirsty! I want to drink water. Ning Qiwei swallowed the pastry in her mouth and shouted. Okay, I'll go get you water. After Wen Yufeng finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the pavilion. Hehe, don't leave at this time, but when to stay. Ning Qiwei saw Wen Yufeng turn the corner of the corridor, and she also got up and walked out of the pavilion.
Ning Qiwei walked forward along the corridor, she always felt that there was no end to it. How so? Ning Qiwei's heart was full of doubts. "Oh, what's going on?" I was in the corridor just now, how could I get to the door of the house in the blink of an eye. No matter how much it is, let's go first! "Where are you going?" Ning Qiwei was just about to step out of the mansion. Wen Yufeng walked up to Ning Qiwei and said lightly: "It's good to stay in the house, where are you going." "Well, I want to go shopping on the streets. Ning Qiwei smiled lightly.
"No, I can't. Get back! Although Wen Yufeng's tone was gentle, it was very intimidating. Why do you restrict my personal freedom? Ning Qiwei said angrily. Get back. Wen Yufeng said indifferently. I'm not going back. Ning Qiwei twisted her head to the side and said. Butler, invite her back to the house. Before Wen Yufeng could finish speaking, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper, followed by two housekeepers, walked out from the corner of the corridor.
"Please!" The housekeeper walked up to Ning Qiwei, and he said politely. "Hmph, bear with you." Ning Qiwei threw up her sleeves and turned around and walked towards the depths of the corridor. Wen Yufeng looked at Ning Qiwei's back, his eyes full of loneliness.
Ning Qiwei sat in front of the dresser, supporting her head with her hands, sulking at herself in the mirror. The knock on the door startled Ning Qiwei. "Who?" Ning Qiwei asked. "I'm Xin'er." A girl's voice came from outside the door. Ning Qiwei got up and walked to the door and opened the door. Xin'er held a tray in her hand. Inside the tray are a white porcelain stew pot with a lid, a white porcelain bowl and a white porcelain spoon.
Xin'er gently placed the tray in her hand on the tea table. "This is stewed for you by Childe himself, drink it while it's hot!" Xin'er said cautiously. "I'm not rare. He took it back and gave it to himself. Ning Qiwei poured a cup of tea and drank it all. Xin'er has never seen Childe prepare dim sum for anyone and cook it himself. Girl, just drink a little! Xin'er said earnestly.
"Oh, you can leave it alone! I want to drink and drink again! Ning Qiwei said indifferently. Childe instructed the maid to drink the white fungus soup. Gongzi also instructed Xin'er to wait for the girl in the future, and to follow the girl inseparably at all times. Xin'er said with a smile. All the time, inseparable. Drink! Is this waiting? This is surveillance. Wen Yufeng, you're going too far! Call me your son-in-law. Ning Qiwei gritted her teeth and said.
"I'm here. Any commands? Princess! Wen Yufeng walked in with a shallow smile. You, why are you keeping an eye on me? Ning Qiwei "Teng" stood up. "Xin'er is a maid who has come to serve you." Wen Yufeng said with a light smile. "Do you think I can't leave if I send someone to guard me? If I want to go, I can still go. Ning Qiwei said lightly. You..."Wen Yufeng wanted to speak and stopped. With a hint of sadness, he turned and left.
"Girl, you can eat some! You haven't eaten in a day. Xin'er stood in front of the bed, pleading bitterly. I don't want to eat it. Unless I am asked to go out of the house, I will not eat. Ning Qiwei lay on the bed playfully. Just eat a little! Xin'er was still pleading. You go and call Wen Yufeng to me. Just go. Ning Qiwei shouted. Okay, Zilan, go and invite Childe. "Yes." The maid standing at the door replied.
"Xin'er, you go." Ning Qiwei said loudly. "Childe asked me to follow you all the time." Xin'er smiled helplessly. "Then you'll let me starve to death!" Ning Qiwei said lightly. "Okay, okay, I'll go. Zilan, wait for the girl. Xin'er had no choice but to give in.
Ning Qiwei didn't want to take another look at this cage-like room. She put a quilt over her head, trying to isolate herself from it. The quilt was pulled hard, Ning Qiwei tightly pulled the quilt that was about to be pulled away, and shouted hatefully: "Don't mess with me." Otherwise, I..."Before Ning Qiwei finished speaking, she heard Lingyun's laughter outside the quilt: "What do you want?" Haha..."
"Lingyun. How are you? Ning Qiwei quickly lifted the quilt and was overjoyed. If you don't eat such a delicious thing, I'll eat it. Well, this salty crispy chicken wings are good. Ling Yun sat at the table, holding a chicken wing in each hand, eating with relish. Who said I don't eat. I just wait for the food to taste before I eat it. Ning Qiwei walked quickly to the table, picked up chopsticks, and picked up a chicken leg.
"Well, it's really delicious. I'll eat another one. Ning Qiwei threw the leftover chicken bones aside, stretching out her chopsticks to pick up another chicken leg. Uh, wait, the rest of this chicken leg is mine. "Ling Yun stretched over the plate and Ning Qiwei wanted to pick up the chicken leg." What's on the plate is mine. Ning Qiwei took half a plate of chicken and said proudly.
"Hehe... Or do I understand you. If I rush to eat with you, you will eat it. When Mr. Wen found me, he was looking for the right person. Lingyun shouted. "You, you turned out to be one of his trusts. In vain, I treat you like a buddy. You eat. I'm going on a hunger strike. Ning Qiwei roared with a calm face, and a feeling of betrayal came to her heart.
"No, I, Vier, I just wanted you to get up and get something to eat. I'm afraid you've wronged your stomach. Ling Yun's face was full of innocence as he frowned. But you still stand with him and play with me. Ning Qiwei said indignantly. Do you know why I am willing to help him? Ling Yun said with a frown. Why? Ning Qiwei said coldly.
"Wei'er, you still remember when you recruited your henchmen." Ling Yun said with a smile. "Recruit henchmen? It seems like it was more than a decade ago. Ning Qiwei slowly recalled the hazy past. At that time, I had just ascended the throne, and I wanted to select some of my own henchmen, so I chose some children of princes and ministers as candidates, but they were all children who did not understand the world, and for this, I was condemned by the ministers. "Ning Qiwei is here.
"And Mr. Wen is one of the many children." Ling Yun said lightly. "Wen Yufeng, he's..."Ning Qiwei said in astonishment. The only son of the late Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wen Yanming. Ling Yun said calmly. The son of Lord Wen. How can it be in Changzhou? Ning Qiwei was surprised. He was not selected when recruiting henchmen, and the ten-year-old child was disheartened with Shitu, and since his father's death, he has moved to Changzhou, away from Shieun, to run a business in Changzhou. One-third of the shops in Changzhou belong to him. Ling Yun said indifferently.
