Wei Jiang rushed by, but he didn't see Wei Zhen'er hidden in the shadows. Wei Zhen'er looked at her running figure, then looked at Mo Hua who was squatting on the ground and smiling, and said to the maid Xiaohong, "Let's go back to the room." ”

Xiaohong said yes and accompanied her back to the boudoir.

Wei Zhen'er's boudoir is fresh and elegant. The four walls are hung with her paintings of plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums; The bookshelves are full of sages; A scorched tail is placed on the piano case, and there is a Boshan furnace in the corner of the case, and the hairspring is continuous.

Wei Zhen'er is more like a lady than a maritime merchant's daughter. She also hopes that she is a lady of all people, instead of soaking in the salty sea breeze every day.

The Infinite Sea is chaotic and dirty, and the men are all vulgar, but the only one who is good has not chosen her.

Wei Zhen'er looked sideways towards the bronze mirror, the beauty in the mirror was elegant, smiling without showing teeth, her eyes were gentle, and she couldn't pick out the slightest difference.

He didn't even choose her.

Wei Zhen'er was unwilling, and her face was still elegant and quiet. She sat down on the chaise longue in a dignified manner, picked up a flower bandage from the basket, picked up a rouge thread, and threaded it gently and steadily into the tiny pinholes.

The maid Xiaohong was smart, and she caught three points of displeasure between her gentle eyebrows and eyes.

As a subordinate, he wants to share his master's worries, Xiaohong saw the wind and steered, and said: "Miss, it's not that I want to play with right and wrong, I'm really not worth it for you." You see that these two girls look like thin monkeys, they are crazy on weekdays, I really don't know how Mo Shao fell in love with her! ”

Wei Zhen'er was silent, and under the waves of her eyes, her joy was light.

Xiaohong rejoiced in her heart, cheering and vinegaring.

"Miss, I don't think you two are like sisters, you are much more beautiful and intelligent than her! I'm not convinced by you! Why did she take all the good ones! ”

As she spoke, Xiaohong wrinkled her nose in disgust and flattened her mouth. She herself is better than this Miss Weier, why is her life not as good as her?

Wei Zhen'er's gesture paused slightly, her eyes became sharp, anger rose between her eyebrows, and she scolded lightly: "Don't say this in front of me." ”

Xiaohong was frightened, shrugged her shoulders, and hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

Wei Zhen'er lowered her head and continued to thread the needle, the stitches didn't feel messy, and half of the butterfly wings were embroidered a little crookedly, so she simply made a mistake and embroidered half of the residual wings. This was the mandarin duck butterfly pillow she wanted to give to Wei Jiang.

"My sister has always been sick, but now she is better, and her temper is not as good as before. I'm always humble as a sister, right? ”

Xiaohong hurriedly said: "Yes! ”

"But...... Who understands the hardships of being a sister? ”

Wei Zhen'er said softer and softer, like a thin filament slowly floating into the sky and disappearing. However, Xiaohong seized it, held the opportunity to please the master tightly in the palm of her hand, and secretly planned to do so.

"Oh, yes." Xiao Hong suddenly took out an octagonal food box from the side and respectfully sent it to Wei Zhen'er. "Aunt Zhou sent a box of snacks just now, can Miss try it?"

Wei Zhen'er didn't even look at it.

"No, you can divide it for the next person."

Xiaohong said again: "This week, my aunt is very good at stammering, and she will send things over all day long." ”

"Isn't it about asking for favors? You'll pick a piece of silk and send it later—while my father is here." ”

Xiaohong understood and said busily: "Miss, don't worry, I will do it well." ”

Xiaohong picked out a concubine red silk that Wei Zhen'er didn't like in the cabinet, and then stood in the corridor for a long time, and after seeing Wei Qian go to the second floor, she took the silk cloth to find Aunt Zhou.

Xiaohong waited in the corridor for a while, and when Wei Qian entered the door, she walked over slowly, pretending not to know who was inside, and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Is Aunt Zhou here?"

"Yes."

It was the maid who came to answer. Xiaohong deliberately shouted loudly.

"My young lady asked me to send a piece of silk and satin, and asked me to thank Aunt Zhou for the snacks."

The maid accepted it and said, "Thank you, Miss." Aunt Zhou is inconvenient right now, and she will thank her later. ”

"My young lady said it, no need to thank you. I won't trouble my sister, so I'll leave first. ”

Xiaohong left, and the maid carried the silk cloth to the room, which happened to be seen by Wei Qian.

Wei Qian always asked with a smile: "It was the girl in Zhen'er's room who was talking outside just now, right?" ”

Aunt Zhou kneaded his hamstrings and said, "That's right. Jen'er always asks her to bring things over. I have to say, you gave birth to a good daughter, Zhen'er has a good heart and eyes, and she is also beautiful, so she really doesn't lose the first beauty in Yunhaizhou. ”

Aunt Zhou boasted to death, Wei Qian couldn't help but flutter after hearing it, and there was no place for Wei Jiang in her heart, only Wei Zhen'er.

"Well, my daughter is well-behaved and has a good temper. She didn't feel sorry for you when you came here, did she? ”

"Of course I didn't have to do it."

Aunt Zhou smiled, charming and charming. Wei Qian always saw that he was ape-like, and couldn't help but hold her jade hand and rub and play with it.

He sighed and said unintentionally: "It would be nice if Ah Jiang could be as well-behaved as Zhen'er." She used to be in poor health, and I didn't care much about her, but now she is becoming more and more unruly, talking nonsense in front of her elders, without any sense of proportion! ”

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Second Miss is still young, and she will be sensible when she is older." She listens to what you say, doesn't she? ”

Wei Qian's worries did not dissipate, but became heavier.

"She didn't listen to me! She didn't take this head of the family seriously at all, otherwise she would have done so many ridiculous things?! ”

The more Wei Qian spoke, the more angry he became. Wei Jiang ran away in front of everyone without looking back just now, where did he put him as a father?

Aunt Zhou has a mirror in her heart, and when she saw his thick eyebrows frowning, she knew that he was not happy. Wei Qian always has a good face, presumably Wei Jiang did something that touched his sore feet again.

"Don't be angry. You ask your wife to persuade Ajan, or ask a gentleman to come and teach her how to be a wife. ”

When Wei Qian heard it, he thought this was a good idea! couldn't help but praise Aunt Zhou: "You are really smart." ”

That night, Wei Qian always found Li and told him about it.

Li hesitated, she smelled the smell of fat powder on his body, and knew that he must have listened to her when he came from the woman's room.

"Let Ah Jiang learn the Female Scripture, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. We can't sit still...... She's like you. ”

This soft sentence touched the chord in Wei Qian's heart, Ah Jiang is indeed like him, straightforward and stubborn.

Wei Qian couldn't help but soften his tone, and said in a low voice: "What do you say?" You can't let her stay wild. She is an engaged person, and she is still with peace all day long. This morning in the hall, she talked nonsense in front of the elders, which was really bad for the Wei family. ”

Li Shi sniffed out a little strange, she didn't know what happened to Wei Qian these days, she was always picking on Wei Jiang's thorns, always saying that she was not good, that was not good, and there was no place in her body that pleased his eyes.

Li couldn't help but help, and said, "Isn't it Wei San." Wei San treats Wei Jiang as a daughter, and she can't be more familiar, how can she talk about so many rules. Did the former Weisan talk about the rules in front of us? I haven't seen you so angry. ”

Wei Qian's eyes paused slightly, and he couldn't refute it, so he turned his □□ slightly, and continued to be depressed.

Li Shi said again: "I'll go and tell her later, don't worry about this." After all, you are Ah Jiang's father, and Ah Jiang must respect you in his heart. ”

Li's words made Wei Qian feel angry, after all, they have been married for decades, and she is the one who understands him best.

Soon after, Li went to find Wei Jiang.

Wei Jiang was lying on the chaise longituna, thinking about the things in the Zhonghui Hall during the day. She felt disheartened when she thought of her father's disgusted gaze. She thought that her father liked her, but in fact, on the contrary, maybe her father used to be good to her because she was bedridden and looked pitiful.

Wei Jiang was a little chilled, with her current talent, she was naturally the worst of several brothers and sisters, she thought that her father should not be partial to this, and only picked good ones.

"A-Jiang, what's wrong? Uncomfortable again? ”

There was a mother's voice behind him, and Wei Jiang was quite relieved when he heard it: and her mother likes her.

"It's not uncomfortable, it's just tired."

As he spoke, Wei Jiang sat up and unconsciously stroked his hair, looking very charming.

When Li approached, he saw her with her eyebrows lowered and seemed to be down, and he knew that she was sad about the day's affairs. Although the child is small, she also has a good face, Wei Qian should not count her down in front of everyone.

Li Shi didn't beat around the bush, took Wei Jiang's hand, gently brushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ear, and said distressedly: "Daddy said you again, right?" ”

Wei Jiang was straightforward and nodded yes.

"Is this his, shouldn't have said you in front of so many people, I told him just now."

"It's okay, I don't blame him."

Wei Jiang smiled, reasonable, and empathetic.

Li couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw this, and suddenly, she felt that this was not Ah Jiang, and the thirteen-year-old girl in front of her was a little too calm.

Wei Jiang consciously showed her feet, so she immediately pretended to be a child, pursed her mouth, and her two thin legs swayed around the couch, and said aggrievedly: "Actually, I don't know what's wrong with my father, I seem to be getting more and more unpleasant these days." Now that he's here, I don't even want to speak. ”

This is like her daughter, who was just an illusion before.

Li smiled slightly, thinking that she couldn't say that Wei Qian was always biased in front of Wei Jiang, she could only find an excuse and say: "Your father is too busy and tired." You see, he was not in good health this time, and he didn't even get out of the boat, so he called your third uncle. ”

Third uncle?!

Wei Jiang's heart tightened, I am afraid that this time to go to sea will be the time when the third uncle will die. No way! She didn't say yes!

"Mother, when will the third uncle leave?"

"I'll leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow...... Not tomorrow, I'm afraid there's a hurricane coming. ”

Li chuckled: "It's not this time yet. Besides, I have to leave tomorrow, and it will take eight days to go to the glass world, and if I don't go, I won't be able to hand over the goods. ”

Wei Jiang didn't follow, but she couldn't understand it with Li, and after thinking about it, she decided to go to her father.

Wei Jiang wanted Li to go to the study to lobby together, but Li shook his head and said, "You know your father's temper, he doesn't like us to meddle in business." Besides, your third uncle has been at sea for decades, and he understands better than us. When you say it's a hurricane, they don't necessarily believe it. ”

If you don't believe it, you have to believe it! If you want to save the third uncle's life, you have to stop him.

Wei Dalang and Wei Erlang were not there, Wei Jiang wanted to pull Wei Zhen'er up, but after careful consideration, she broke into Wei Qianzong's study alone.

Mr. Wei Qian was busy with the things on the books, and when he saw Wei Jiang coming, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't drive her away because he gave enough face, forced out a smile, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Jiang knew that his father was not soft or hard, so he was extremely polite, and asked softly: "Dad, the third uncle will go to sea tomorrow." Are you prepared? ”

"I've been ready for a long time, what do you care about such things?"

Wei Jiang heard that Wei Qian was always displeased, but she still wanted to give it a try, so she said: "I had a dream last night, and in the dream, the Sea Dragon King said that tomorrow there will be a hurricane and you can't go to sea. Daddy, it's better to believe it than to believe it. You hurry up and give the order, and everyone is on guard. ”

"Hurricanes?" Wei Qian's thick eyebrows were twisted into thick knots. "Hehe, you know hurricanes."

His tone seemed to be a joke to Wei Jiang. Wei Jiang was unhappy, but she was even more anxious about it, she stepped forward, forced him to his side, and said solemnly: "It's true, Dad." You have to believe me! ”

Wei Qian was always busy putting together the account books, putting on an unkind majesty.

"If you have this free time, you might as well go and learn embroidery with your sister! I'm busy. ”

After that, Wei Qian always asked Wei Jiang to be "invited" out, no matter what she said, he didn't want to listen.

Wei Jiang was extremely angry and stomped his feet desperately. In desperation, she wanted to talk to the third uncle face to face.

The third uncle is drinking and having fun with his brothers in the West Compound, and he has been at sea for a long time, and he is a woman who drinks and meat when he goes to the ground. This western courtyard has become a living kiln.

Wei Jiang ignored the taboos and went in to find him. Everyone was having fun, and suddenly rushed over to the second girl of the Wei family, all of whom were frightened, and hurriedly tightened their belts and straightened their clothes.

Wei Jiang didn't squint, walked straight to the third uncle, and said, "Third uncle, I have something to do with you." ”

The third uncle had two rouge lip prints printed on his head, and his cheeks were red. He half-squinted, saw Wei Jiang drunkenly, and laughed.

"It's Ah Jiang, what's the matter with the third uncle?"

Wei Jiang said bluntly: "The hurricane is coming, and I can't go to sea tomorrow." ”

The third uncle didn't hear clearly, and asked the second master Yang next to him: "What is my family talking about?" ”

Second Master Yang is in his fifties, he is lean, and he is not close to Wei Jiang. When he heard Wei Jiang's words just now, he laughed, as if laughing at the little girl in front of him who didn't know how thick the sky was.

"She said there was a hurricane tomorrow."

After that, Yang Erye looked up at the cloudless blue sky, and proudly showed off in front of A Jiang.

"I've been out at sea for more than 30 years, and I know if it's going to rain when I smell it. You girl, you better hurry back to the room, this is not where you came from. ”

No one believed Wei Jiang's words, and the third uncle who loved her didn't take her seriously. After all, this place is full of old boatmen and full of experience, who would listen to a girl who has never been to sea?

Wei Jiang was in a hurry, snatched the wine jar from the third uncle's hand, and smashed it to the ground. The sound of "bang" shocked everyone's drinking, and the whole courtyard was suddenly silent.

"You can't go to sea tomorrow! When a hurricane comes, you're all going to die! ”

Wei Jiang was full of strength, and shouted hoarsely, for fear that someone would not hear it.

Everyone's faces changed abruptly, and the word "death" was too unlucky before leaving! They exchanged heads and whispered to each other, and some of them had a look of fear on their faces.

Second Master Yang is annoyed, this little girl knows a fart, and she is still here to confuse the public!

He put the wine bowl aside, lifted his sleeve and patted the case.

"Don't think that if you are the daughter of Brother Wei, I won't dare to beat you! You know what a thing! Mao hasn't grown up yet, so I'm here and shouting, tomorrow will be a sunny day! ”

Second Master Yang roared confidently, driving away everyone's fear, they raised the wine bowl and continued to talk about wine, and let Wei Jiang's words as a fart.

Wei Jiang looked left and right, helpless. The third uncle didn't believe her words either, so he only coaxed: "Ah Jiang go back quickly, be good." ”

Finally, Wei Jiang saw Iron Foot sitting next to her in the crowd, she was like grabbing a life-saving grass, ran to Iron Foot in two or three steps, opened her eyes wide, and asked, "There will be a hurricane tomorrow, right?" ”

She wanted an affirmative answer from this person. But the iron feet drooped their eyelids, scratched their heads, and did not say a word.

Didn't help her, and no one cared about her. Wei Jiang was at a loss, and suddenly she remembered a person who would definitely be able to persuade Wei Qian with his clever tongue. However, Wei Jiang didn't want to owe Mohua favors, they were entangled tightly enough in the previous life, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him in this life.

Without Mo Hua, she could have done it.

Wei Jiang gritted his teeth and let his heart go!
