Chapter 69: A Deep Friendship
The girls went downstairs. Xia Taoyuan lay on the bed, thinking that she had such a healthy body but had fallen ill several times in this ancient time. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She thought it might be due to the unfamiliar climate. Although there were no direct symptoms, it had subtly lowered her immunity. So she decided to exercise after she recovered.
"Miss, Miss, the young master is here, and he's bringing someone with him." Dai'er ran upstairs in a hurry.
Just as Xia Taoyuan was wondering, she saw Wei Jinghe coming with Qi Nanfeng.
"Daier said you have a fever again. What happened?" Wei Jinghe touched her forehead with concern.
Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "I've already taken the medicine, brother, don't worry."
"Master Qi said he owed you gold and sent it to you. He also heard that you had a fever, so he came to visit you." Wei Jinghe said.
Xia Taoyuan thought to herself, Wei Jinghe is really generous, he brought an outsider to his sister's boudoir just because he said he was coming to visit. She also thought of Qi Nanfeng coming in several times at night without any hindrance, the security measures of the prime minister's mansion were really too lax, she would find a chance to talk to Wei Jinghe about it.
Xia Taoyuan looked at Qi Nanfeng, and seeing his eyes full of concern, she looked away and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi. You can take the gold. I was just joking. Mr. Qi, don't take it to heart."
Qi Nanfeng walked to her bed and said with a smile: "It's okay, since I promised, I will definitely send it to you."
Wei Jinghe told Dai'er to make tea. Qi Nanfeng said, "Don't bother. I'll be leaving in a moment."
"Mr. Qi rarely comes, so how can he just leave? I will not leave the house today, so Mr. Qi must stay and have a couple of drinks with me." Wei Jinghe said. He really wanted to keep him because he had always had a question, why Mu Yun had such a close relationship with Qi Nanfeng.
Qi Nanfeng was not polite and said with a smile: "Since Brother Wei is so kind, I won't refuse."
Wei Jinghe smiled and said, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare first."
"Okay, I'll go find Brother Wei later and count the gold for Miss Wei." Qi Nanfeng said with a smile.
Wei Jinghe went downstairs. Qi Nanfeng put a bag of gold on Xia Taoyuan's bed, touched her forehead, and said, "Don't burn it anymore."
Xia Taoyuan turned his head away and said nothing.
Qi Nanfeng's eyes were suddenly filled with tenderness, and he said in a deep voice: "I will take your words to heart even if they are jokes."
This was a response to what Xia Taoyuan had just said. Xia Taoyuan's heart skipped a beat for no reason and she cursed inwardly: Damn it! She pretended to be calm and said, "Take it away. I don't need it."
Qi Nanfeng didn't respond to her words. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, saying, "Take good care of yourself and get well soon, dear."
Xia Taoyuan was shocked and angry. This guy was too bold. He knew that she was engaged but still dared to be so frivolous. She raised her hand and wanted to hit him, but she was powerless. She raised her hand and waved but didn't touch the corner of Qi Nanfeng's clothes. She glared at him with her eyes wide open and gritted her teeth, "Get out! Don't let me see you again!"
At this time, Dai'er was bringing up tea. Qi Nanfeng smiled and turned to go downstairs. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Dai'er to take good care of the young lady and pour her a glass of water every once in a while.
"Sister Yu'er and Sister Zhu'er went to the kitchen and said they wanted to make chicken soup for you to nourish your body. You must drink it all when it's ready." Dai'er chattered.
Xia Taoyuan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Only then did Dai'er smile.
Qi Nanfeng found Wei Jinghe, and the two of them toasted and chatted happily. After a few drinks, Wei Jinghe asked, "I have heard of Brother Qi's name for a long time, and have met him a few times, but I have never had the opportunity to have a deep chat with him. The day before yesterday, at my sister's engagement party, I saw that Brother Qi and Mu Yun were very close..."
Before Wei Jinghe finished speaking, Qi Nanfeng raised his glass and said with a smile: "I toast to Brother Wei."
After drinking, Qi Nanfeng said, "I came to the North Yue Kingdom when I was fifteen years old. I was young at that time, and everything seemed new to me. I would go out and play every day. But after a long time, I got bored, so I wanted to find something fun. Later, I went to a gambling house. At that time, I didn't know that the gambling house was opened by Prime Minister Mu. I only know that no one could win money from the gambling house at that time."
"I observed them several times and saw through their tricks, so I made a big bet with them. Of course, I won in the end. Haha, I won three hundred taels of silver from them that time. They refused to admit my victory and wanted to drive me away. Although I was young at the time, I was not afraid. All the guys in their gambling house were no match for me. At this time, someone called Mu Yun over. He brought several helpers, but they were still no match for me."
"I didn't expect Brother Qi to have such great skills at such a young age." Wei Jinghe praised.
Qi Nanfeng continued, "Mu Yun is about the same age as me, and he is also very skilled. After fighting with me for dozens of moves, he admitted defeat and sent someone to pay me three hundred taels of silver. I didn't expect that after I left, he followed me from behind and followed me all the way to my house. He wanted to be friends with me and hoped to learn from me. At that time, I didn't know anyone in North Vietnam, and I thought it would be good to have more friends, so I agreed."
"I've known him for five or six years. He's actually a nice guy. He also can't stand his father's behavior. He took over the gambling house two years ago. Before he took over, I found out that their gambling house had a deal with Wangchunlou, the largest brothel in Yunjun City."
Qi Nanfeng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I indulged myself a little in those years and often went to places of entertainment. I found a new girl in Wangchun Tower. I happened to know this girl. Her father is a carpenter. We all call him Lao Tan. My family hired him to make furniture. The girl went with her father to help. I was very surprised at the time. Although this girl's family is not rich, they would not go to such a place. I asked her, and it turned out that someone had taken a fancy to her family's carpentry shop and framed her father to gamble and lose the shop. Her father was not convinced and wanted to win it back, but he didn't expect to lose her as well. He sold her to Wangchun Tower. She then realized that the man behind the scenes was the Right Prime Minister Mu Huairen."
"I told Mu Yun about this. He didn't believe his father could do such a heartless thing, but he still investigated secretly. He found out that it was indeed Mu Huairen who ordered it. Mu Yun felt bad for a long time. He asked me to redeem the girl and reunite the father and daughter. I also bought them a few houses in the countryside to accommodate them."
"Mu Huairen used this method to seize many shops. In the past few years, Mu Yun took over some shops and prevented his father from expanding the shops. Otherwise, all the shops in Yunjun City would have belonged to the Mu family." Qi Nanfeng said leisurely.
After hearing this, Wei Jinghe said angrily, "Not only did the old thief Mu seize the shops of ordinary people, he also took away several of my properties."
Qi Nanfeng said again: "Brother Wei, come, drink, let's not talk about sad things."
The two clinked their glasses, and Qi Nanfeng continued, "In addition to buying a house for Old Tan and his daughter in the suburbs, Mu Yun also bought a few more houses nearby. Over the years, he has taken in many elderly people with limited mobility and no food to eat, as well as children living on the streets, and asked Old Tan and his daughter to take care of them, and he paid for them. He has a kinder heart than Mu Huairen."
Wei Jinghe didn't expect Mu Yun to be so kind and so different from his father. He couldn't help but have a better impression of him.
"No one knows what he did except me. He and I have been close over the years. He is my first friend in North Vietnam. The friendship we formed in our youth is precious enough." Qi Nanfeng's eyes were deep, and it was obvious that he valued Mu Yun very much.
The two chatted for a while and Qi Nanfeng left after noon. He wanted to go to Yingyuan to see Xia Taoyuan again, but when he thought of so many maids there, he gave up the idea.
