Chapter 27 Words are unpleasant to hear.
"what?"
Wei Dongning said, enunciating each word clearly: "This proves that the master of the house doesn't respect me, which is why I act so sloppily and arrogantly as a servant."
Gu Peiyan immediately sat up straight.
He looked at Wei Dongning with a serious expression: "I will definitely handle this matter seriously. But I can assure you that I have no intention of looking down on you."
"By the time you finish dealing with this, the daylily will be cold. And your raspy voice, you should just rest. It was never pleasant to hear before, and now it's even worse."
Wei Dongning took a pear candy from her candy jar and unceremoniously stuffed it into Gu Peiyan's mouth.
The movements were so fast that Gu Peiyan didn't even realize what she was doing before a sweet taste filled her mouth.
"Qiuli Candy?"
"Poison, the kind that will render you speechless after you take it."
Gu Peiyan felt a warmth in her heart, her furrowed brows relaxed, and she sincerely said to Wei Dongning, "Thank you. And, I'm sorry."
Wei Dongning resisted the urge to trace the lines between his eyebrows with a brush, sat back down, crossed her legs, and began to supervise Gu Peiyan in handling the account books.
Incidentally, he also slowly worked out his wooden brain.
Xiao Wu knew Wei Dongning had vented, so he gave her a thumbs up: "Ningbao, you are so kind! Even at a time like this, you are still worried about his health."
"Of course, I'm just too kind."
She has a pure, saintly heart.
"Ningbao, the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Marquis of Anyang is the day after tomorrow. Have you prepared a gift to send?"
Wei Dongning sighed inwardly; her legs had been crossed for too long and were starting to go numb.
After switching legs, he slowly spoke: "I've made up my mind. You have no idea how much money I spent preparing this birthday gift."
It's often said that you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the
After marriage, every expense had to pass through her hands.
A large sum of money was spent like water.
It pained her to see it.
Fortunately, although the Gu family was honest and upright, they were still quite wealthy.
In particular, the Tianzhuang store has had a pretty good year in recent years.
As long as they don't squander money, they can live a very comfortable life.
Gu Peiyan processed the ledgers much faster than Wei Dongning. By the time he finished writing, Wei Dongning was still chatting idly with Xiao Wu about all sorts of things.
To others, Wei Dongning appeared to be in a daze at that moment.
Gu Peiyan didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that what she had just done would frighten her again.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside the window, he waved to Qianrong who was standing at the door.
Not long after, Qianrong led a group of people back carrying food boxes.
The aroma of the food brought Wei Dongning back to her senses.
As I was about to stand up and walk to the dining table, I almost stumbled and fell to the ground because my legs were numb.
Gu Peiyan reacted quickly, pulling the person back into her arms:
If you're sitting, you should sit properly.
"Tsk, you really should just shut up." Wei Dongning narrowed her eyes in annoyance: "Not a single word you say is pleasant."
"I……"
"Shut up, go back to your study after you finish eating."
When he protected her from falling, Wei Dongning was very grateful to him.
As a result, this feeling of being moved didn't last more than two seconds.
I originally thought the study was not a suitable place to live, so I gave him a chance to stay in the room at night.
Now Wei Dongning just wants to kick him out as soon as possible.
bother.
Nothing ever went her way.
Wei Dongning angrily picked up a piece of green vegetable and stuffed it into her mouth.
Then came the second and third bites.
Xiao Wu was shocked by Wei Dongning's actions: "Ningbao, don't you hate eating vegetables the most? Why did you eat so much today?"
"This dish must have been made by the new cook; it tastes pretty good."
It seems that choosing to let Zhang stay today was indeed the right decision.
Xiao Wu's mouth watered in Wei Dongning's mind: "What a pity I can't materialize, otherwise I would love to try it too."
Xiao Wu's two favorite things are...
Gossip and food.
To borrow a trendy phrase, the only things you shouldn't miss are good food and gossip.
Wei Dongning continued to tempt Xiao Wu as she picked up food, saying, "Why don't you talk to your dad and turn into a physical form to keep me company? You're supposed to be the child of a god, how come you're living such a miserable life?"
Xiao Wu kept communicating with her in her mind, and Wei Dongning always felt as if she was chatting with artificial intelligence.
The difference is that this artificial intelligence has independent thought and is not like those pre-programmed programs that are useless except for being annoying.
So Wei Dongning wanted to be a little greedy and wanted it to have a physical form so that it could truly stay by her side.
If she can't become a human, she can become a kitten or puppy or something, so she can still have some fun touching it.
To avoid spending too much time spacing out and being misunderstood as having some kind of mental problem.
Xiao Wu was tempted by Wei Dongning's words, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "I'll go find the Supreme God tomorrow morning!"
It decided that if the supreme deity disagreed, it would throw a tantrum.
Since the main god only has this one little darling, it's not worried about losing favor at all.
Although this binding with a host was a punishment from the Supreme God, it only retained its most basic abilities.
But the Lord God might still agree to this small request.
It is very confident in itself.
Hearing that Xiao Wu had agreed to her request, Wei Dongning happily ate a few more bites of vegetables.
Even Gu Peiyan was surprised.
Having eaten together so many times since their marriage, Gu Peiyan felt that she understood Wei Dongning quite well.
She always only eats a couple of bites of the vegetables on the table, just to be on the surface.
It's quite unusual for someone to eat even half a plate of vegetables like I did today.
Gu Peiyan tentatively picked up a piece of roast pork and handed it over: "The roast pork tastes very good today too."
"Oh."
Wei Dongning politely ate a piece, then put down her chopsticks and bowl, saying, "You can eat slowly, I'm full."
Wei Dongning felt like something was wrong with her.
She wasn't always this difficult to get along with.
Many things can be easily brushed off with a laugh.
But now, after exchanging only a few words with Gu Peiyan, I feel like I want to argue with him.
"Xiao Wu, do you think we might be incompatible?"
Xiao Wu exclaimed "Ah!" and sat up straight: "Ningbao, we must believe in science."
"Isn't your very existence the biggest false proposition in science?"
"Ah... what you said makes a lot of sense. But don't worry, you two had your horoscopes checked before you got married, and they're not incompatible."
"That's really strange."
"It's not surprising. It's all because that jerk said such nasty things that you're in a bad mood."
"You're right!"
After dinner, Gu Peiyan did not leave as Wei Dongning had expected. Instead, she calmly sat back down at her desk, picked up her brush, and began to paint.
Wei Dongning didn't bother to pay him any attention.
When I returned from Panyuexuan in the afternoon, my stomach started to ache slightly.
I drank hot water all afternoon, but my symptoms didn't improve at all.
It's showing signs of getting worse right now.
Wei Dongning even wondered if she had offended Tai Sui this year.
He had a heart attack before he traveled through time, and that was it.
Even after time-traveling, I still can't control my urge to argue.
If she had known this would happen, she would have properly offered her prayers at Guangning Temple that day.
Even as she grew so sleepy that her eyelids began to droop, Gu Peiyan showed no sign of leaving.
