Shi Zhongfei was stunned by Bingwen's pretending to be flirtatious, and was stunned and turned to stone on the spot.
Bingwen became playful and simply gave him a wink.
Shi Zhongfei felt a chill and said to him, "Why, didn't Miss Yuqiao in Yixiang House make Mr. Bingwen happy tonight?"
Bingwen rolled his eyes at him, stopped teasing him, and said with a serious expression, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just in a good mood and want to find someone to have a drink with."
Seeing him acting like this, Shi Zhongfei thought that if he was not allowed to come in and talk by candlelight at night, he might not give up.
Shi Zhongfei sighed, gave up resistance, opened the door and turned sideways to let him in.
"What can make you so happy this late at night?" Shi Zhongfei asked curiously while taking the utensils from the shelf.
Bingwen has always been reserved. Even when he solved a big case like Huo Tianxiu's last time, he didn't have too many mood swings. Tonight was indeed a bit abnormal.
"There is a friend who is going back to Beijing." Bingwen poured wine into both of their glasses.
"Friend?" Shi Zhongfei looked suspicious. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he asked Bingwen: "Is it the friend who asked you to take care of us?"
"Exactly." Bingwen smiled with a smile on his lips, raised his glass, and touched it with Shi Zhongfei, who had a look of joy on his face.
"That's great. Why don't you tell Mr. Jie about this? If he knew, he might be so happy." Shi Zhongfei raised the glass he had just touched with Bingwen to his mouth and took a sip. And done.
Then it was refilled for two people. At first, the four of them were thinking about Bingwen's friend.
Especially Xie Jiming, he would ask from time to time, when will he come back
However, even Bingwen himself didn't know when Xia Chu would come back.
Therefore, Bingwen kept trying to prevaricate them again and again. After being prevaricated a lot, he gradually stopped asking.
"Master Jie and Chang Hui will go to court tomorrow. You two will be the first to be happy tonight." Bingwen raised his wine glass with a smile on his face.
Shi Zhongfei also picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face and clinked it with him again.
After finishing the drink, Shi Zhongfei sighed to him: "If it weren't for this friend of the young master, we wouldn't be where we are today. It's a pity that Guangbo has no chance to meet him this time."
"It's not like he won't come back. I'll give him a revised book when the time comes. It's okay for him to be in a hurry." Bingwen couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.
The Tanhua Lang who blushed at every turn appeared in his mind.
"You..." Shi Zhongfei pointed at Bingwen, and then said: "Too bad!"
After Shi Zhongfei finished speaking, both of them laughed heartily.
The candlelight on the table also jumped left and right, and their figures changing cups and cups could be seen on the window paper, and laughter could be heard from inside the house from time to time.
Even Bian Hao, who was hiding in the tree, had a smile on his lips.
It seems that they are infected by their emotions.
Of course, apart from the two people in Mingxiang Garden, Mr. Xiahou in the Hou Mansion was also overjoyed after receiving the letter.
Since the incident with Zhao Jiajun in Hanyang City ended, he thought it was time for Xia Chu to come back.
Every day I prepared a set of utensils for him, and every night I fantasized about him suddenly appearing in the study, calling him 'Dad' and giving him a surprise.
Of course, there is no such surprise.
This disappointment is increasing day by day.
Slowly, Mr. Xiahou looked forward to it from the beginning.
It has become what it is now, scolding every day.
He scolded this brat for not saying enough. He had agreed to come back in the middle of summer, but as the weather was getting hotter and hotter, there was no news that he was ready to come back.
In early May, even Zhao Xingwen returned to Beijing, but Xia Chu had no return date.
Cong Ting listened to Mr. Xiahou scolding the young master every day. He couldn't agree or stop him, which really gave him a headache.
Tonight, Cong Ting breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting the young master's confirmation to return to Beijing.
Xia Chu mentioned Du Hanfei to the Marquis in his letter and asked the Marquis to pay more attention to him recently.
Therefore, while the Marquis was happy, he also ordered Cong Ting to find someone to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to monitor.
But Du Hanfei, who was targeted by the Marquis, still knew nothing.
He had just returned from Shi Mansion and was telling Mingyi to call Du Kun to the study.
Ever since he received Mao Xianchun's letter two days ago, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Yesterday, after going to court, he went to the Yufu Palace to see Concubine Li.
Lian Yan led Du Han to the palace courtyard, where Concubine Li was admiring a pot of blooming peonies.
Du Hanfei bowed to Concubine Li and said, "I am here to see you, Concubine Li."
Concubine Li looked back with admiration among the flowers, and smiled sweetly, which actually made the summer color of the garden dim.
"Prime Minister Du, how about this plate of peonies?" Li Fei waved to him.
"Only the peony is a true national beauty, and it moves the capital when it blooms. Only this peony can match the beauty of the empress." Du Hanfei complimented calmly.
"I can't afford what Prime Minister Du said. If it reaches the ears of the queen, it will cause trouble." Although there was a trace of reprimand in Li Fei's words, her expression was gentle.
Du Hanfei didn't argue when he heard this, he just smiled and said yes.
He knew in his heart that Li Fei was very useful to his words.
"This flower was specially sent to the palace by my niece Shi Jiaying." Li Fei glanced at Du Hanfei meaningfully.
"Miss Shi is so filial." Du Hanfei followed up her words with a compliment.
"He is a gentle and obedient child, and his appearance is also very good. After I got hairpins last year, the people who came to propose marriage almost broke the threshold of the Shi Mansion." Empress Li Fei nodded, and walked towards the shade of the tree as she spoke. and walked under the lounge chair.
"Of course it is. Miss Shi has a distinguished status. Her father is General Shi, and her aunt is you. There are countless people seeking to marry her." Du Hanfei walked with her to the shade of the tree.
"I heard that you asked the emperor to marry the ninth princess on behalf of the eldest son at the beginning of the year." When Concubine Li said this, her expression was as usual, without the slightest hint of ridicule.
But Du Hanfei's old face turned red with embarrassment and nodded awkwardly.
"It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would point it out to you. But this niece of mine is very good, I wonder if you have such a heart." Li Fei finally got to the point.
"Wei Chen thanked Concubine Li on behalf of Kun'er." Du Hanfei gave a big salute to Concubine Li.
"Prime Minister Du, get up quickly. We will be in-laws from now on, so we don't need to be so polite." Concubine Li gave her a hand, and Du Hanfei stood up.
"It is Kun'er's honor to marry Miss Shi." Du Hanfei looked at Li Fei and replied.
The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing clearly in their hearts.
From now on, everyone is in the same boat.
