Chapter 431: The Storm Before Going Out
"Uncle, where are these words, as you said, these things are the responsibility of me, the hostess of the Uncle's Mansion, if this little thing is not done well, it should have been done a long time ago. Wei was not arrogant or arrogant, and his tone was indifferent.
Only then did He Chuanwu realize that what he said before was a bit excessive, but he couldn't pull his face down to apologize, so he only coughed and said, "Aren't you going to the birthday banquet?" ”
Seeing that there was no quarrel inside, Mama Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and whispered "Amitabha".
He Chuanwu quickly came out of it, and He Linwan bowed his head and saluted, calling his grandfather.
He Chuanwu glanced at He Linwan, nodded casually and left.
When He Linwan followed Mama Wang in, Wei was drinking tea and thinking about something.
"Ah Wan is here, it really looks good in this outfit. Seeing He Linwan and Mama Wang coming in, Wei smiled faintly and said, he couldn't see that he had just had an argument with He Chuanwu, if it weren't for the broken teacup on the ground, He Linwan almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
While arranging for the maid to clean up the broken tea cup on the ground, Mama Wang asked Wei: "Isn't it early, the slave maid is waiting for you to change your clothes and comb your hair?"
Wei nodded, got up and walked to the inner room.
Mama Wang followed behind Wei and couldn't help but say, "The slave thought that this time I was going to quarrel again, but fortunately, Madame, you couldn't help it." Well, if you were as young as you are today, you would be ......."
Mama Wang's tone was filled with regret.
He Linwan listened to Wei's cold voice from afar.
"Yes, I should have done that! What is there to quarrel about? What is so difficult to follow his mind than to go against his mind! People can only see through when they are old, who hasn't been stupid!"
Wei and Mama Wang said the same thing, but He Linwan felt that the two of them had completely different meanings.
When Wei's was dressing, He Zhen, He Lan and He Ling came over one after another.
The four sisters couldn't help but look at each other as they sat outside.
He Zhen wore a goose-yellow jacket skirt, and the headdress and jewelry were inlaid with turquoise, which looked lively and cute.
He Lan wore a light purple jacket skirt with a set of red gold tortoiseshell heads, which was steady and soft.
He Ling was wearing a set of pink jackets and skirts, the style and color were very similar to theirs, but she added a peach-colored cloak with intricate embroidery and bright colors, and the head and body were also shining, very luxurious, and it seemed that she was eager to put all the precious jewelry on her body.
Seeing that He Ling was dressed differently from them, He Zhen asked with some doubts: "Didn't the third sister wear the face prepared by Uncle and Grandmother?"
He Ling withdrew her vague jealous gaze from the sapphire earrings and necklace on He Linwan's body, sighed and said meaningfully: "Fortunately, my mother kept an eye on it, otherwise she wouldn't know if someone secretly made a trip." This girl's dress is full of knowledge, I advise the fourth sister not to be too honest, and I don't know if I accidentally become a foil for others. ”
He Zhen's mind was simpler than He Ling's, and she only smiled: "I like this set of turquoise noodles very much, my mother also said that it looks good, and specially found me similar earrings to match." ”
He Ling smiled, turned her head and looked at He Lan again, "Second sister, you are young, and you look a little old-fashioned with tortoiseshell jewelry, do you want to go back and change it?" If you don't have anything else to exchange, I can lend it to you." ”
He Lan glanced at He Ling and smiled, "Thank you third sister, no need, I think it's good." ”
Seeing that neither of them appreciated the affection, He Ling's face also faded, and she turned her head away and stopped talking.
When Wei came out, he looked at his granddaughters one by one, nodding as he looked.
When she saw He Ling, her eyes paused, He Ling was a little worried that Wei would scold her for not listening to the arrangement, but Wei turned her eyes away and said nothing.
He Ling hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled defiantly at He Linwan, and said silently with her mouth: Don't think that you can stand out this time!
He Lin ignored it and followed Wei Shi away.
When Wei went out with a few granddaughters, He Chuanwu also came over with a few grandchildren.
The eldest grandson, He Jing, was released as an official and was not in the mansion. He Zhen's brother, He Xian, who was ranked second, did not come out because of an incident. The third young master He Mian, He Mian's younger brother He Jia, and He Ling's brother-in-law He Xuan have all arrived.
The seventh young master, He Bin, is the younger brother of He Lingshu, and he didn't come for some reason. The eighth young master was also born to the fourth wife, Yu, and he is only five years old this year, probably because he was young.
He Linwan looked left and right and asked He Chuanwu, "Grandfather, where is Ah Yin?"
He Lin had told He Yin to wait in the outer courtyard before.
He Chuanwu frowned when he heard this, and said, "This serious birthday worshipper won't take him, will people see jokes?"
As soon as He Chuanwu said this, He Ling was the first to laugh out loud and echoed: "What grandfather said is reasonable, and the sixth brother can't speak, will he stand when we celebrate our birthday later? Let outsiders see that there is a dumb person in our house, what a shame!"
He Linwan's face suddenly turned cold.
He Mian knew He Linwan's temper best, and when he saw her face, he knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly walked over and grabbed He Linwan's arm.
"Ah Wan, the sixth brother is in the study, and just now my grandfather assigned him a few notebooks for him to write. Saying that, He Mian turned his head to Wei and smiled and said, "Grandmother, my uncle and grandfather and grandmother haven't seen him since the sixth brother came back, so you can bring the sixth brother with you, and I'll take him to play later." ”
Wei Shi said lightly: "Mama Wang, go and bring the sixth young master." ”
He Chuanwu was about to speak, but Wei interrupted him, "Uncle, you know my brother's strength, so the children who are not related to him want to rely on him to promote one or two, do you think he will find fault with his own sister's grandchildren?"
Wei bit the word "in-law", He Chuanwu couldn't help but look at He Xuan and He Ling, who were born to the concubine, and finally swallowed the words of opposition.
"Whatever you want. He Chuanwu shook his sleeves with a calm face and left.
At this time, Xiao Huzi was sitting in the study in the outer courtyard, copying the calligraphy stroke by stroke, while Xiao Mu was sitting far away reading the book.
However, Xiao Mu couldn't help but look up and peek at Xiaohuzi after reading the book for a while, he thought that Xiaohuzi must be a little sad, but found that this kid was really practicing calligraphy according to his grandfather's instructions, and he practiced very seriously.
Such a bright gaze finally made Xiao Huzi unable to turn a blind eye, he raised his head and stared at Xiao Mu in his busy schedule: What to see!
