Chapter 93: Lady Chengenbo's thoughts
Wei bowed his head in response.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo moved her gaze to He Linwan and asked in a gentle tone, "What has Ah Wan been doing lately?"
He Linwan didn't know if Mrs. Cheng Enbo was asking if it was casual chatter or something, so she thought about it and said, "I didn't do anything, I just learned needlework with Mama Li every day, or learned to read the account book with my mother." ”
Mrs. Cheng Enbo suddenly smiled: "Oh, I haven't practiced martial arts recently?"
He Linwan smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this: "I'll practice when I'm free." ”
The current He Linwan is not as obsessed with martial arts as the original He Linwan, but thinking that he was so weak in his last life, and he lost his life after an illness during the escape, He Linwan will also make a few moves every day, fortunately, although she does not have the memory of He Linwan, but the body still has instincts for some martial arts moves, although He Linwan is still a little rusty now. However, the purpose of her martial arts training is only to strengthen her body, so she does not pursue excellence in moves.
I didn't want to accept Mrs. Enbo, but nodded: "You are a girl from a military general's family, and it is understandable to know martial arts, but remember that the girl's family should not fall behind." ”
He Linwan nodded obediently: "Got it, grandmother." ”
Mrs. Cheng Enbo looked at Wei again: "You are a good mother, and you have taken excellent care of both children. ”
Wei was a little flattered and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo said again: "Now that Ah Wan is also older, I see that her temperament has been a lot more restrained recently, and you will have to teach her well in the future." ”
Wei hurriedly said, "Yes, mother." The daughter-in-law got it. ”
Mrs. Cheng Enbo bowed: "I have already written a letter to my mother's family, asking my mother's sister-in-law to find a female gentleman with both talent and virtue, it will not be long before there should be news, and then let Ah Wan follow the female gentleman to learn more skills, and she can use it in the future." ”
Wei Shi was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Mrs. Cheng Enbo: "This female gentleman, is it for the girl in our house?"
Some big families will invite a female gentleman to the girl to be married in the family, and this kind of female gentleman will teach not only literacy and female popularity, but also how to survive the complex struggle.
It's just that this kind of person is also extremely hard to find. Ordinary people can't raise such a female gentleman. That's why Mrs. Cheng Enbo asked her mother's family to look for it, because a military general's family like the He family, which has a shallow foundation, can't be invited at all.
However, Wei did not understand why Mrs. Cheng Enbo would say this to her, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Cheng should discuss this kind of thing with the eldest lady. Mrs. Cheng Enbo didn't pay much attention to He Linwan's granddaughter before. She prefers the well-behaved and quiet second girl He Lan.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo said lightly: "Such a female gentleman is generally unwilling to teach more students. I only have one granddaughter. Naturally, the gentleman invited her into the house to teach her. When the time comes, if Ah Lan wants to learn, he will follow Ah Wan. ”
Cheng Enbo has three sons, and the eldest son, He Guangyao, has only one concubine, He Lan. The second son He Guanglie also only had He Linwan's daughter, and the concubine He Guanghui also had a daughter He Ling. It stands to reason that He Linwan and He Ling are both granddaughters of Mrs. Cheng Enbo, but it is obvious that Mrs. Cheng Enbo did not count the daughters born to her concubines.
Wei glanced at He Linwan and responded.
At this time, Mama Wang reported outside: "Madam, the eldest lady is here." ”
Mrs. Cheng Enbo said to Wei and He Linwan: "My time to copy the scriptures is coming, so you should go back first." ”
Wei and He Linwan got up and saluted and retired.
When they came out of the Buddha hall, the eldest lady was really waiting outside, and Wei and He Linwan greeted the eldest lady, knowing that Mrs. Cheng Enbo liked to be quiet, so she went out of the courtyard without much greetings, and it was the young nun who opened the door for them.
When he returned to the West Courtyard, He Lin frowned slightly when he saw Wei's along the way, and couldn't help asking, "Mother, don't you like grandmother to invite me as a female gentleman?"
Wei glanced at He Linwan and said with a smile: "How could it be? It is naturally good to invite such a female gentleman to teach you." ”
He Linwan said suspiciously: "Then why is my mother unhappy?"
Wei sighed: "Mother is not unhappy, but I don't know why your grandmother suddenly thought of asking you to invite a husband." ”
He Linwan covered her mouth and smiled: "Could it be that my mother is still afraid that my grandmother will sell me?"
Wei glared at He Linwan: "Nonsense!" After speaking, Wei couldn't help but take He Linwan into his arms and gently touched her back, "Mother is just afraid that your grandmother will suddenly interfere in your affairs and will let you do things that you can't help yourself in the future." In the eyes of many elders, how much favor they receive from the family will have to repay the family in the future. If this is the case, I am unwilling to accept the favor of the He family. I just wish you all the best in this life. ”
He Linwan nestled in Wei's arms, feeling the warmth and comfort that Wei's brought her: "Mother doesn't have to worry, if I don't want to, no one can force me to do what I don't want to do." ”
Wei pinned He Linwan's sideburns behind her ear, touched her forehead and said, "Mother won't let people force you to do what you don't want to do, Mother will protect you." ”
In the Buddhist hall, Mama Wang didn't go out after bringing the eldest lady in, and she couldn't help asking: "Madam, according to the eldest girl's temperament, I'm afraid that she won't learn well from the female gentleman, why don't you know that the eldest lady will teach the second girl well? It is not easy for the uncle and wife to find such a female gentleman." ”
Mama Wang didn't mean anything else, she was just afraid that the female gentleman who was finally invited would be angry with the big girl.
Wei Shi said lightly: "No matter how much Ah Lan's temperament pleases me, she is just a concubine, and she will find a good family to marry in the future." ”
The eldest lady Yu didn't mean to be upset for her concubine, but she couldn't help but feel moved when she heard Wei's words, and asked, "What are my mother's plans for Ah Wan's future?"
Wei Shi took a sip of the bitter tea that night in his hand, and then lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, just when the eldest lady thought that Wei didn't want to ask this question, Wei suddenly asked: "Do you know the "Xuanyuan Testament"?"
The eldest lady thought for a while: "Is it the "Xuanyuan Testament" that those who get it will be crowned kings and generals?" The eldest lady is also a daughter of a family, and there are many scholars in the family, so she has also heard of it.
Wei's chin: "The man who gets it is the king and worships the prime minister, and the woman who gets it...... The future will be precious. Now the book is in Ah Wan's hands. ”
The eldest lady was stunned when she heard this, and muttered, "Unspeakably expensive?" What kind of personality can be called unspeakably expensive? The more the eldest lady pondered, the more shocked she became.
Wei said: "It's just that this book has not been obtained by women since ancient times, so this statement has not been passed on, I also heard my great-grandfather mention such a sentence when I was a child, my grandfather saw the "Xuanyuan Testament" back then, and it is said that this statement was also recorded in the book. ”
The eldest lady said suspiciously, "Isn't it rumored that no one can read that book?"
Wei shook his head: "There are many brilliant people in this world, maybe someone has understood it? If Ah Wan is still the same temperament as before, I may not believe this statement, but I think she has been in the world recently, and she has become more and more of a person's demeanor, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
The eldest lady thought for a moment: "Mother is planning to let her ...... Into the palace?"
Wei Shi rubbed the tea bowl in his hand and said slowly: "She is still young, let's take a look in three years." ”
The eldest lady nodded and understood, Mrs. Cheng Enbo did have plans to let He Lin enter the palace at night.
After Wei went to Mingshan Hall, He Linwan asked the maid to call He Mian.
He Mian said curiously: "Is there something to do with me?"
He Linwan glanced at him: "Did you tell others about yesterday after you came back?" He Linwan told He Mian not to tell the matter of Taibai Mansion when she was on the road yesterday, and she didn't want people to know that the "Xuanyuan Testament" would fall into her hands.
He Mian blinked inexplicably: "No, you told me not to say it, I didn't mention you when my mother asked me." ”
He Linwan sighed: "You didn't mention it, what about the people around you?"
"Huh?" He Mian was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then became angry, "Could it be that my people have come back to chew the root of their tongue? Who is it? I will kill him!"
He Linwan thought that when Li Yu said that sentence, He Mian and two other entourages were outside, and his ears were more sensitive, and he might have heard a word and a half, but when he saw He Mian angry, He Linwan stopped him.
"Who are you going to destroy? Do you know whose people it is?"
He Mian was confused: "Whose person?"
He Linwan smiled helplessly: "Who can put someone around you?" ”
He Mian thought about it and understood that it was either his grandmother or his mother who planted people around him, so he really couldn't do anything to those people, and couldn't help but hold his breath a little: "I'm so old, and I still stick a nail next to me, is it interesting? I have to avoid them when I talk and do things in the future." ”
It was determined that the news of that day was leaked out from He Mian's side, and He Linwan also understood the intention of the Wei family to invite her today. Fortunately, she is still young now, and even if Wei has any plans, she still has a few years to deal with it.
Speaking of which, the "Xuanyuan Testament" is really a hot potato, if it weren't for the things that her grandfather treasured back then, she really didn't want it, as for the statement that the person who got the "Xuanyuan Testament" was either rich or expensive, He Linwan simply scoffed.
He Linwan was noticed by his grandmother because of "Xuanyuan's Suicide Note", and Li Heng was also worried about this book.
Li Heng received a message from Qiu Yu, saying that tomorrow was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and asked him to go to his mansion to apprentice.
Li Heng really didn't want to worship this teacher. But his brother told him to get the broken book back. In this way, he had to recognize Mr. Qiu Yu.
Just when Li Heng was so distressed that he grabbed a large handful of his hair, a fat carrier pigeon flew in from the window and crashed straight into his arms. (To be continued......)
