Chapter 21 I'm not Zhang Sheng
"Daughter, open the door, I really have something to tell you!"
Liu Zheng stood outside the door awkwardly, but no matter how hard he knocked, Liu Qingxin inside would not open the door.
In the end, Liu Zheng had no choice but to say through the door: "The reason why Ning Fu rejected Zhang Dun is actually because he has a long-term view..."
At that moment, Liu Zheng repeated Ning Fu's explanation before, thinking that Liu Qingxin would open the door this time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingxin inside the door was silent for a long time again, and finally said: "I know, but I still want to calm down alone. I hope father can forgive me!"
Now Liu Zheng was completely at his wits end.
"Well, it's a blessing in disguise. It's a blessing in disguise. It's for future plans. Don't be willful anymore!"
Liu Zheng gave a final warning before leaving.
Ning Fu sent Liu Zheng out, but Liu Qingxin still didn't open the door when he came back.
Ning Fu didn't force it, he just made breakfast and sent it to her door: "Breakfast is here, don't forget to eat it!"
There were actually new customers in the store today, and there was more than one, three customers came in the morning alone.
Ning Fu rarely got busy. When he took the time to go back and take a look, he found that Liu Qingxin had already had breakfast.
This made Ning Fu also smile secretly. If he was in the mood to eat, it meant that there was no big problem.
There were more customers at noon and afternoon, and six tables were actually filled. Hutou also came back from next door to help.
Ning Fu also observed while cooking and found that most of these guests looked somewhat like officials.
Moreover, these guests were very interested in Ning Fu and even talked behind his back while Ning Fu was cooking.
This made Ning Fu finally confirm one thing. Today's guests must have been attracted by the rumors that he had scolded his two husbands.
"No wonder those admonishers like to scold the prime minister. As long as they scold the prime minister well, they can gain both fame and fortune. It is a very good deal!"
Ning Fu whispered to himself.
Although I don't know who spread the rumor, Su Zhe doesn't seem like someone who does such a thing. On the contrary, it's Zhang Dun who doesn't act according to common sense.
In the evening, Zhang Dun did not come, but sent a servant with a food box and asked Ning Fu to prepare some dishes and put them in the food box to take back.
During this period of the Northern Song Dynasty, takeout was already available. In the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, there are idle people delivering takeout.
However, for wealthy families, they prefer to send servants to buy meals to avoid being tampered with in the meals.
During dinner, Liu Qingxin finally left the room.
The two of them just looked at each other in silence during the meal, and no one spoke until the end of the dinner.
After the meal, Liu Qingxin took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Ning Fu did not stop her.
"I have already written the Book of Songs and will bring it to you later!" Liu Qingxin, who was washing the dishes, suddenly said.
Ning Fu nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "You have been giving me books these days, so I will give you one today too!"
"Send it to me?" Liu Qingxin was also stunned.
"Hold on!"
Ning Fu turned around and entered his room, and quickly took out a thick stack of manuscripts.
"I don't have your ingenuity and can't make a book, so you can just read it together first!" Ning Fu handed the manuscript to Liu Qingxin and said.
Liu Qingxin wiped her hands in surprise and took the manuscript.
"The West Chamber?"
Liu Qingxin was stunned when she saw the title of the book. She didn't remember that this book was included in the Classics and History Collection?
"I think you will like this book!" Ning Fu said with a smile.
The daughter of a rich family fell in love with a poor scholar, and after many twists and turns, the poor scholar finally won the top prize and came back to marry the rich girl. This story will definitely resonate strongly with Liu Qingxin.
"Then I'll watch it after washing the dishes!" Liu Qingxin said happily.
In any case, Ning Fu was willing to give her the book, which made her feel that her efforts during this period were not in vain.
"Go and see, I'll wash it!" Ning Fu pushed Liu Qingxin back to the room and washed the dishes himself.
When Ning Fu was getting ready to go to bed at night, he saw that the light was still on in Liu Qingxin's room.
This made Ning Fu smile slightly. He couldn't write the original version of The West Chamber, but he remembered roughly the content. He had accumulated a lot of experience when writing about Di Gong's case, so it was not difficult to write The West Chamber in his own words.
When Ning Fu was sound asleep, he was suddenly woken up by the sound of "bah, bah, bah~" banging on the door.
Ning Fu opened the door with sleepy eyes.
"Did you give me a storybook?" Liu Qingxin burst in with an angry face and asked.
"Yes!" Ning Fu said matter-of-factly.
"You sleep so late every night and just write these things?" Liu Qingxin asked even more angrily.
"Don't you like watching it?" Ning Fu asked with a smile.
"Who...who said I liked it?" Liu Qingxin immediately denied it.
Ning Fu pointed to the waning moon in the night sky: "It's already late at night, and you still say you don't like it after watching it for so long?"
Being exposed by Ning Fu on the spot, Liu Qing's face turned red with embarrassment.
When she first discovered that the book Ning Fu sent was actually a storybook, Liu Qingxin was also very angry and wanted to come immediately to question Ning Fu.
But unfortunately, the storyline in the book was too attractive, especially Cui Yingying, who was almost like another version of herself, so Liu Qingxin couldn't help but keep reading.
"It doesn't matter whether I like it or not!"
Liu Qingxin suddenly woke up and said angrily again: "I thought you were studying hard in secret every night, but I didn't expect you... you..."
Liu Qingxin suddenly couldn't speak anymore at the end, and her two big eyes were filled with tears.
At this time, Ning Fu also slapped his forehead and said, "I see, you think that I am reading when I write and draw every night, so you keep giving me books!"
"You spend so much time and energy on this kind of book, why don't you want to read the sages' books?"
Liu Qingxin couldn't care less about being shy at this time, and asked again with hatred for iron.
"How can the sage's book be as interesting as this kind of book? Don't you like it yourself?" Ning Fu said with a playful smile.
"I……"
Liu Qingxin really wanted to say that Ning Fu was treasonous and unethical, and even compared the books of sages with such miscellaneous books.
But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out, because what Ning Fu said was right, and she herself couldn't resist the temptation of such idle writing.
Ning Fu looked at Liu Qingxin, who looked troubled, and then looked at the moonlight outside, feeling that there was still some time before dawn.
"Qing Xin, I know you want me to be like Zhang Sheng in the book, take part in the imperial examination for the girl I like, preferably the number one scholar in high school, and be granted the title of wife."
Ning Fu paused for a moment when he said this, and said with a serious expression on his face: "But I am not a Zhang student, and I can't get the top score in the exam. If you can't accept me like this, then I suggest you make plans early!"
"What are you planning to do...?" Liu Qingxin asked in a dry voice.
"The entanglement between you and me is too deep. If you can accept me as I am now, I will never let you down!"
Ning Fu paused again when he said this: "If you can't accept me, then it's better to go back and find another husband as soon as possible while you and I are not married. I think with the status of the Cai family, I won't forcefully marry again."
you!"
When Liu Qingxin came to Ningfu in her wedding dress, she was actually ruining her reputation. The Cai family was an official family after all, and they would definitely not marry a woman with a tainted reputation, so Liu Qingxin was actually safe.
Liu Qingxin felt that Ning Fu's words were like sharp arrows, and each arrow made her body tremble slightly.
Ning Fu looked at Liu Qingxin, who was trembling all over, and felt a little unbearable.
Liu Qingxin was the same age as him, and it was indeed too cruel to ask a girl who was only a freshman in high school to consider these major life events.
Liu Qingxin lowered her head and said nothing, making no movement for a long time.
In the end, Ning Fu sighed and said: "This matter is of great importance, so you don't have to make a decision in a hurry. It won't be too late for you to answer me when you figure it out!"
