"Mom, please take a look at the two maids I'm newly attracted to, okay?"
"It's good that you have taken a fancy to her. Mom thinks it's good." Mrs. Lu looked at the two maids with refreshing eyes and clear eyes. At first glance, she was a good girl with a simple mind.
"If mom thinks it's good, I'll give them both to you." Xu Wanning said with a playful smile.
"What did you give me the maid you like?" Ms. Lu was a little confused.
"Aunt Yun said that the maids in this yard will keep their heads down while working, and they will not chat with you or make you happy. Aunt Yun will coax you. Aren't I afraid that you will be bored? This white pigeon and white bird will Sing a song. When you get bored later, let them sing you a song to make you happy."
Mrs. Lu was overjoyed, and stepped forward to pull the white pigeon and white bird, as if she were looking at her darling: "Can you sing?"
Bai Ge and Bai Que nodded: "If I tell you, Madam, I can sing a few songs."
Bai Ge pinched an orchid finger and sang two lines from the Legend of the White Snake. Lu's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, stay."
White Pigeon and White Bird leaned down and said, "Thank you, Madam."
The two of them have stayed with Lu since then.
Xu Wanning had breakfast with Mr. Lu, and her mood improved a lot. Seeing Mr. Lu watching the white doves and birds singing after breakfast, Xu Wanning left quietly.
When he was going out, he happened to meet Lin Huilai asking Lu for a safe pulse.
"How is my mother's health lately?"
"My lady is in good health, there is no need to worry, young lady."
"That's good. I'll ask Dr. Lin to take good care of my mother. If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper."
Lin Hui arched his body, looking humble and obedient: "Yes."
Xu Wanning left directly.
Lin Hui turned around and looked at Xu Wanning's leaving back. A cold flash flashed in his eyes. He entered the courtyard without hesitation and saw two voluptuous girls singing in the courtyard. Mrs. Lu was making time. Happy face.
Lin Hui did not disturb her, but stood aside and listened for a while. When the song was finished, she stepped forward with a smile: "Madam, it's time to take a safe pulse today..."
Xu Wanning came to Lihua Tower as usual and stayed from day to night, but Pei Heng didn't come for several days.
After the arrival of autumn, Xu Wanning specially added a new feature to the dishes in the shop, stew pot.
Guests can order whatever they want, including vegetables, meat slices, and meatballs. The ordered dishes are then boiled in soup stock and paired with Xu Wanning's special seasoning. It's fragrant, spicy, and spicy. You can choose whatever you want. It created a trend in Kyoto.
September has arrived in the blink of an eye, and Lihualou's business is on the right track. When he sends Lihuazui to the Governor's Mansion again, Xu Wanning counts the days and realizes that half a month has passed since the last time he saw Pei Heng.
One day at noon at Lihua House, Fubai suddenly came to her mysteriously and whispered a few words.
When Xu Wanning heard those two words again, she felt a little dazed and stood up quickly: "Take me there."
Fu Bai drove the carriage and took her to the Chengnan District County Government Office.
"Master Pei is here?" Xu Wanning asked curiously.
Fubai nodded: "The Governor said it would be convenient to stay here."
convenient?
Xu Wanning frowned.
The two arrived at the gate of the county government office.
When the gatekeeper saw Xu Wanning coming, he was extremely enthusiastic. He nodded and bowed quickly and led him to where Wang Xingmin was working.
"Sir, Miss Xu is here."
No matter what Wang Xingmin is doing inside or what important guests he meets, the person communicating does not dare to neglect him at all.
Wang Xingmin heard the voice and looked at Pei Heng timidly, waiting for Pei Heng's opinion.
Pei Heng nodded.
Wang Xingmin ran out immediately, with a happy face: "Miss Xu, you are here. Come in quickly."
Xu Wanning was led into the house respectfully.
This is where Wang Xingmin handles official business. Without his order, no one is allowed to enter. Not to mention subordinates, not even bedfellows.
The people who saw it were shocked when they saw this: "Oh my God, Mr. Wang actually led Xu Wanning in. Didn't he think that a boy accidentally broke in and was beaten thirty times by him? He also said that there was no such thing as him." He ordered that no one be allowed in, but he actually brought a girl Xu in."
"So, this Miss Xu is Mr. Wang's favorite."
"Hey, isn't Mrs. Wang right in the backyard? I'm so blatant, so I'm not afraid of Mrs. Wang being angry!"
"Why are you angry? Now that Mr. Wang has a prosperous official career, isn't it normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines? No matter how favored Mrs. Wang is, she is already old. She is so young, beautiful and rich. Do you want me?"
"You want what you want!"
"Master Wang, this is a great harvest in career and love!"
"I guess we can have a wedding banquet soon."
"You have to tell me how much gift you will give me then. I will give you the same gift."
"sure."
A group of people gathered together and chatted. Wang Xingmin, who was being talked about, couldn't hear it at all. He and Xu Wanning had already gone in.
"Miss Xu, the Governor has been waiting for you for a long time."
I don't know where he pressed, and the Duobao Pavilion on the wall turned, revealing a secret passage.
Xu Wanning was startled: "New?"
Wang Xingmin nodded and smiled: "New, after I came, the Governor sent more people to dig out this secret room."
"Where does it lead?"
"Miss Xu is so smart. It is connected to a house in the alley behind the Yamen, so that it is convenient for the governor to come in and out."
"He's really good at it."
Wang Xingmin smiled and said nothing.
No, the Governor has gone to great lengths for you!
Xu Wanning entered the secret passage, walked ten steps and turned around to reach a secret room.
Pei Heng stood at the door of the secret room waiting for her.
After not seeing each other for half a month, Xu Wanning looked at him in the firelight in a daze.
Pei Heng was still dressed in purple. The weather was getting colder and his clothes were thicker, but it still did not hinder his graceful demeanor. He pursed his lips slightly, revealing two pear dimples, "Coming?"
"Hmm. How to arrange it here?" Xu Wanning was a little confused.
"It's safe here. If you want to see me in the future, you ask Fubai to notify me. You come in from the county government office openly, and I come in from the house at the back and meet you here."
Wang Xingmin on the side was overwhelmed with emotion.
This rich man is really good at pleasing girls. Half a month ago, the Governor suddenly found him and said that he wanted to dig a secret room and secret passage in his place.
Although I didn't say what I was going to do when I dug the secret tunnel, I used it for the first time today just to meet Xu Wanning. Even fools know the purpose of this secret tunnel.
Gee, you really have to go to great lengths to meet your sweetheart.
Xu Wanning glanced at Pei Heng: "You are really capable of twisting things."
No wonder I haven’t seen him for half a month, it turns out he’s here to dig the soil.
Pei Heng smiled, the pear dimples at the corners of his mouth adding a bit of cuteness to his phoenix eyes, "Aning, you need to be mentally prepared for this later."
He deliberately waited at the entrance of the secret passage, firstly to see Xu Wanning in advance, and secondly to remind Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning glanced at him: "Is there a ghost?" She was not a coward.
Pei Heng smiled: "That's almost it."
When Xu Wanning entered the secret room, she was still frightened when she saw the man in the wheelchair.
The man's legs were completely missing from the top of his thighs. There was a scar on his face, and one eye only had a socket and no eyeball.
Ferocious and terrifying.
"Is he Liu Changming?" Xu Wanning couldn't believe it.
Is this the handsome Liu Changming who was named on the gold medal list but was caught as his son-in-law?
What kind of sin did he suffer to become like this?
