He Ling's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, she bit her lip, lowered her head and barely concealed her resentment and grievances.

Others, including He Mian, who likes to watch the excitement and doesn't think it's a big deal, all stood there obediently and didn't speak.

This is Wei's, she doesn't scold, her face is always calm and light, and even punishing people is light, it is difficult for people to accuse her of being harsh, but she has the ability to make people treat her respectfully.

Wei's tone was still flat and gentle, she looked at several grandchildren, and said slowly: "There is one more thing to call you over today, five days later, my sister-in-law, that is, your uncle and grandmother, will have a fifty birthday, and I will take you to the Wei family to pay respects." I have had the clothes and jewelry prepared in advance, and I will have them sent to your yard later, and if they do not fit, I will tell the people in the sewing room to change them. ”

Hearing that they were going out to be guests, several girls were overjoyed, and even He Ling, who had an ugly face, pricked up her ears.

Wei's maiden family, the Wei family, He Linwan thought back in his heart.

Wei's background is very good, the Wei family is a noble family, there have been many high-ranking officials in the previous dynasty, although this dynasty has not produced more than two grades, but the family has a deep heritage, the descendants of the Wei family are also very competitive, and the family style is quite upright.

Wei's brother-in-law, Wei Shouzhi, was a protégé of Fan Yun, the former head of the cabinet, and served as a servant of the ministry, but later Fan Xiang was defeated and retreated in the court struggle, and Wei Shoulang was also implicated and dismissed from his official position, and returned to his hometown with his family. At the end of last year, Wei Shouzhi was reinstated, and the official was reinstated.

At this time, the Wei family had moved back to the capital from their hometown. Wei's relationship with his mother's brother and sister-in-law has always been deep, and naturally they are indispensable.

Five years ago, the reason why the Wei family was pressed by the old lady and the second lady was naturally inseparable from the Wei family's loss of power, and now the Wei family has returned to the court, and Lord Wei is seeing that the emperor is reused again, and a higher level is just around the corner, and the Wei family's status in the He family is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

In these high families, the status of women has always been linked to the court, which is also the reason why the women of the family in this era value their mother's family.

"Uncle and grandmother, are you going to take me too?" Only He Zhen blinked and asked hesitantly.

Speaking of which, He Zhen is not a girl in Wei's house, her serious grandmother is the second lady. But Wei is the mother of Bofu, and when she was in charge, she treated her grandchildren and granddaughters equally, and if there was any benefit on weekdays, Wei never left behind her niece and granddaughter He Zhen.

Speaking of which, the second wife's mother and daughter are slightly closer to the Wei family than to the Tai lady and the second lady, and many times He Zhen also followed He Linwan and they called Wei's grandmother. So He Zhen was silent, and they almost forgot about this stubble.

Wei Shi said gently: "You are also a girl from my He family, of course I want to take you there, and your mother also agreed." ”

He Zhen was happy again, and the little girls liked to go out as guests.

Wei Shi said again: "You don't need to prepare for the birthday gift, you just need to take care of yourself and go out with me when the time comes." I'll put the words in front, once you get out of this door, you represent the face of Bofu, and some careful thoughts will be put away for me. ”

Although Wei did not name names, several sisters subconsciously glanced at He Ling.

He Ling's eyes were red, but she couldn't help it.

"Do you understand?" Wei's gaze swept towards his grandchildren, his tone soft.

"Understood, grandmother!" several of them replied in unison.

Wei Shi smiled lightly and nodded, "You guys go back to your yard first, Ah Wan and the eldest daughter-in-law stay." ”

Because He Lin had just returned to Beijing in the evening, it was common sense for the Wei family to be closer, and He Zhen and He Lan didn't react when they heard it, and bowed obediently and retreated. Before He Mian left, he quietly gave He Lin a night envoy look, saying that he would go to play with her later. Only He Ling looked at He Linwan when she was leaving, unwilling and jealous.

He Linwan thought that Wei should have something to explain to himself, so he instructed the maid to take Xiaohuzi and Xiaomu to go outside to have some refreshments first, and wait for her to return to the West Courtyard together. She was afraid that Xiao Mutou would be uneasy when she came to the He family for the first time, so she didn't let him go back first.

When everyone left, Wei beckoned He Linwan to sit beside her.

"Grandmother, what do you have to say to your granddaughter?" asked He Linwan.

Wei Shi thought for a while and said, "Listen to the report of the people below, you are traveling with the frame of the Fifth Prince when you return to Beijing this time?"

He Linwan thought that the news of the Wei family was really well-informed, she parted ways with the people of the Five Princes yesterday, how could the descendants of the He family know?

However, He Linwan nodded, and said with a non-different face: "Yes, grandmother, when my granddaughter came out of Donglin, she met the Fifth Prince and Lord Chen outside the city gate, so she walked all the way. ”

"Chen Hong?" Wei frowned and groaned, "I heard that Chen Hong had a disagreement with your father when he was in the east?"

He Linwan nodded, "Yes." ”

Wei explained to He Linwan: "The people of the Chen family just maintain face, and there is no need to have deep friendships. We are not the same as the Chen family. ”

The eldest wife, Du Shi, couldn't help but glance at Wei, this was the first time that Wei mentioned officialdom in front of his grandchildren.

He Linwan just nodded and didn't ask, "Got it, grandmother." ”

Wei was satisfied, and her attitude towards He Linwan was more gentle, even if her next topic was not gentle.

"Ah Wan, what's the matter with you and the five princes?"

He Linwan frowned when she heard this, "Why did grandmother say this?"

Wei smiled comfortably at He Linwan, "Don't worry, grandmother doesn't mean to question." I just heard some rumors, so I want to ask for clarification, and it will also be convenient for my grandmother to arrange for you in the future. ”

He Linwan thought for a while, frowned, and said, "The granddaughter and the fifth prince don't have too much contact, let alone have a personal relationship. However, listening to my father's meaning, His Royal Highness Fifth seemed to have the idea of accepting me as a side concubine, but my father refused. ”

He Linwan also had the intention of being tempting to tell the truth to Wei, and she wanted to infer her purpose from Wei's reaction.

Wei pondered for a moment, then smiled indifferently, "Grandmother knows." ”

He Linwan's face was still a little displeased, "My granddaughter doesn't give people a side room!"

Wei did not blame He Linwan for being high-spirited, but praised: "Well, there is a bit of ambition. ”

When Du Shi heard this, he suddenly interjected and quipped: "The prince doesn't want to be the concubine, so how about the concubine?"

He Linwan was stunned when he heard this, but Wei glanced at Du Shi, Du Shi realized that he was speechless, lowered his head and stroked the hem of his skirt to cover up the past.

He Linwan was thinking about whether to test Du Shi's words again, but her thoughts were disturbed by Wei's next words, and she heard Wei Shi ask: "The child named Yang Jie you brought back, I'm afraid his real identity is not the nephew of your master Yinggu, right?"
