Xu Wanning is not in Ningyuan.
In her study, there was a child practicing calligraphy at the table.
Pei Heng recognized him.
Chang'an was practicing calligraphy with his wrist hanging. He was so focused on practicing that he didn't even notice Pei Heng walking up to him.
He practiced the horizontal, vertical, folding and curved hooks over and over again. Pei Heng watched for a while and realized that this child was a malleable talent.
You get better every time you practice.
"Not bad." Pei Heng finally said.
Because he was right next to him, Chang An was so frightened that his hands shook. The ink he had just dipped in him shook and dripped on the newly written characters, turning into a mess.
"Pei, Master Pei..." Changan said hello at a loss.
He didn't know when someone stood next to him.
Pei Heng smiled: "Your hook is not sharp enough in writing. Look..." He grabbed Chang An's hand and led Chang An to write the calligraphy that Chang An had practiced just now.
Chang'an followed Pei Heng's strength and rewrote the words, also keeping in mind where to use force and where to stop.
Pei Heng put down his hand, and Chang An wrote it again, and it turned out to be the same as Pei Heng's handwriting.
"You are very understanding!" Pei Heng did not hesitate to praise him and looked in the direction of the door.
Xu Wanning came for a while.
She came in when Pei Heng was holding Chang An's hand and practicing calligraphy. She didn't disturb him, but watched from outside.
Adults and children, holding a pen and writing a word together, Xu Wanning actually felt a rare harmony and familiarity between the two of them.
"This child is very perceptive. If he can be polished, he will definitely become a piece of beautiful jade in the future." Pei Heng said to Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning looked at Chang An, who was still practicing calligraphy carefully, and smiled: "I think so too."
The love and appreciation in her eyes were beyond words. Pei Heng saw it and looked back at Chang'an: "Look at you, if I didn't know that this child is your servant, I would have thought that this child was born to you!"
Xu Wanning smiled but said nothing.
It was her who gave birth to it.
Pei Heng handed the thing to Xu Wanning.
"What?" Xu Wanning didn't answer and was stunned for a moment.
"Roasted chestnuts with sugar, fresh out of the pan." Pei Heng touched the paper bag, "It's still warm."
"No reward for no merit." Xu Wanning still refused: "Is there something wrong with Governor Pei?"
"Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?" Pei Heng answered sincerely.
Xu Wanning gritted her teeth in anger: "I think it's a lie that you came to see me, but it's true that you came to have a meal."
"One third of the answer is correct. I'm not just here to see you, and I'm not just here to have a meal. I'm also here to have a drink."
Xu Wanning: "..."
She really should have given him the wine willingly: "I will return the fifty jars of pear blossoms to you now."
Pei Heng shook his head with a look of adultery on his face. "I think it would be better to come to your place for a drink."
"Xu Wanning, Xu Wanning..." Cui Yunfeng's shout came from the next room.
Xu Wanning looked at the east wing and then at Pei Heng, "Governor Pei, my husband-in-law is calling me. I don't have time to spend time with Governor Pei. How about another day?"
For the first time, she felt that Cui Yunfeng's howl of ghosts and wolves was so wonderful.
Pei Heng turned around: "Did someone call you?"
"Yes, it's in that room." Xu Wanning pointed to the east wing where Cui Yunfeng slept and said, "It was so loud just now, didn't Governor Pei hear it?"
Such a loud voice, and Pei Heng is a martial arts person, so his hearing should be more sensitive!
When Xu Wanning was confused, Pei Heng said again: "Did you hear wrong, young lady? I didn't hear anyone calling you!"
impossible!
Xu Wanning ignored him and went directly to the east wing.
When he opened the door and went in, the room was so quiet that he could even hear footsteps.
Xu Wanning came to the bedside, and Cui Yunfeng was lying on the bed, motionless.
"Yun Feng?" Xu Wanning shouted.
Cui Yunfeng didn't respond to her.
Xu Wanning stepped forward to push him again, but Cui Yunfeng remained motionless.
She reached up and sniffed, and it was alive.
"I told you no one would call you!"
Pei Heng also came in.
Xu Wanning was almost scared to death.
Although Pei Heng is an eunuch, he is still a man after all. If word spreads about this, she will lose her reputation!
"What are you doing in here?" Xu Wanning was so frightened that her voice lowered.
Pei Heng smiled: "Don't be so nervous, he can't hear you."
"Did you knock him out? How did you knock him out?" Xu Wanning looked shocked.
Pei Heng picked up a chestnut from the edge of the bed, "No, this."
When Cui Yunfeng screamed just now, Pei Heng's chestnut shot in from the outside and hit Cui Yunfeng's sleeping point, knocking him unconscious.
Xu Wanning's mouth was wide open, and she could fit a whole egg into it.
They were all outside just now. From such a distance, Pei Heng could only hear the sound, but he was able to knock him unconscious with a chestnut.
Xu Wanning suddenly thought of something and ran out. A hole as big as a chestnut appeared in front of her eyes in the window.
Is his force worth being so terrifying?
Killing invisible?
That angered him, could he just click her?
"Young madam, it's dinner time." Pei Heng said with a smile.
Xu Wanning: "..." This person is too scary, too scary to offend: "Oh, okay, Governor Pei will be here in a moment."
Pei Heng: "..."
Why did this woman change her name for him?
Even more outspoken than Governor Pei.
Hongmei went to the kitchen to serve food.
Ke Ningyuan's meals are all fixed, but now that he has a big belly, the food from the kitchen is simply not enough.
Having said that but fearing that people in the mansion would be suspicious, Xu Wanning had no choice but to use Ningyuan's own small kitchen.
Ever since Cui Yunfeng went to Ningyuan to recover from his injuries, Ningyuan had a small kitchen.
On weekdays, it is very convenient to stew medicine, tonics, etc., but Xu Wanning rarely cooks.
joke.
She would not wash their hands and make soup for Cui Yunfeng and Chen Mianmian.
But now, she had to do it herself.
Fortunately, it was not difficult to order fresh ingredients. Xu Wanning asked Hongmei to order a big herring.
Doesn’t Governor Pei like to eat fish?
Then let him enjoy it.
Pei Heng had already sat down at the table.
Hongmei brought the food to the table. Pei Heng's face was full of hope, but as the food was brought out, the light in his eyes became weaker and weaker.
"Eat these for lunch?"
Qingxing nodded: "Yes."
The faint light in his eyes finally disappeared.
What kind of food is this?
"Master Pei, wait a moment." Qing Xingfu leaned over and went to the kitchen.
"Miss, Mr. Pei seems to be dissatisfied with the food delivered from the kitchen!" Qing Xing said.
Xu Wanning already knew it.
So don’t let Hongmei bring a big herring!
Fresh large fish head, put radish slices and fried poached eggs in it. After boiling over high heat, simmer slowly over low heat. The fish meat is braised. The dried chili peppers are paired with fresh red and green peppers. The braised fish Blocks, green and red dotted among them, full of color, fragrance and flavor.
Red plums and green apricots went in carrying dishes.
When Pei Heng saw a large pot of stewed fish heads and a large plate, the light that had disappeared in his eyes slowly gathered.
That's the taste.
"Who did this?" Pei Heng asked.
Hongmei said first: "It's a cook from the big kitchen. The young lady specially asked him to cook."
Qingxing glanced at Hongmei but said nothing.
Xu Wanning also came over at this time, holding a jar of pear blossoms in her arms.
Pei Heng's eyes lit up.
"Quick, quick, eat quickly! The food will be cold later."
After Xu Wanning sat down and poured the wine, Pei Heng clinked glasses with her, drank a glass of pear blossom, and started to use chopsticks.
The grilled fish fillets and boiled fish heads were so delicious that they touched Pei Heng's heart.
As soon as he ate good food, he felt wonderful again, and his face became more and more gentle.
"The nun next to Du Shi confessed to Du Shi's crime." Pei Heng held up the cup and stared at the liquid in the cup with gentle eyes.
The nectar and jade liquid are transparent, and the wine glass is also a transparent glass cup. Through the wine glass and the wine in the glass, he can clearly see the person sitting opposite him.
"I told you about Mrs. Du selling your dowry, and I also found records of pawning your things for so many years in the pawn shop. The most important thing is that she also confessed about Mrs. Du beating a doctor in the house to death. It's just..."
"What?" The cup Xu Wanning put into her mouth stopped at her lips.
"Finding Liu Ji's body is the key to killing him with one move."
