Chapter 46: Slap in the face
"I, I don't know what you're talking about!"
The girl staggered back, her eyes wandering, and she didn't dare to look directly at Wei Yuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The corners of Wei Yuan's mouth pulled up a light smile, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he leaned forward gently, looking gentle and soft.
"Your parents died when you were a child, and now you live in the family of the elders, and your parents have left you a lot of property, although you are not oppressed, but you have to look at people's faces everywhere."
Every time Wei Yuan spit out a word, the girl's face turned pale: "You were instructed to stop me, it seems that you are not someone who is familiar with you, let me see what it has to do with you." ”
The girl's pupils constricted, her lips pale and she looked at Wei Yuan who was smiling in front of her, she swore that she had never told anyone about it!
Wei Yuan's eyes fell on the girl's head, and a silver hairpin was inserted diagonally in the middle of a pile of golden hairpins and jades, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.
"It's something to do with your deceased parents, right?"
Wei Yuan spit out these words, and the girl only felt her head buzzing, and looked at Wei Yuan speechless.
"It's despicable for a warlock to engage in such small actions."
Wei Yuan shook his head and sighed slightly, and the corner of his eyes glanced at a corner of the outer courtyard in front of him, and a touch of red clothes flashed.
The girl's breathing was a little heavier, her lips had been bitten but she didn't know it, and Wei Yuan's smiling face was reflected in her pupils.
This man cannot be provoked!!
The girl was full of alarm bells, and her back was already covered with dense fine sweat, and her always sensitive intuition came out at this time.
Wei Yuan glanced at the person next to him who was singing a duet with the girl, and now he had long since disappeared, chuckled, and slowly walked towards the second gate with the invitation.
The mother-in-law who was already standing aside saw the invitation to the flower-viewing banquet in Wei Yuan's hand and hurriedly greeted her.
"This lady is a little eye-catching, this year is the first year, right? The slave's surname is Zhang, and the lady calls me Mrs. Zhang. The flower viewing banquet is held in the inner garden......"
The mother-in-law wore an indigo jacket, her hair was combed back in a bun, and a small silver comb was worn on her head, and her smile was very pleasing, and her voice was gentle but not soft.
"I'm here for the first time."
Wei Yuan smiled and nodded, his eyelids drooping slightly, a little absent-minded.
Ever since she received the Fortune Stone, she had a faint feeling as if someone was manipulating many things behind her back.
"That lady can have a good look today, there are Taihu Lake stones transported from Taihu Lake in this inner garden, there are large moon seasons transported from Liangguang, and a kind of green flower found from the west, which is very strange......
The mother-in-law spoke neither fast nor slow, and the soft words of Wu Nong made people feel a lot more soothed, listening to her tell the situation in the inner garden, Wei Yuan seemed to have opened a scroll of ink paintings in front of him.
"Mrs. Chen has to hold such a banquet once a month for different reasons, but this flower-viewing banquet is held almost every year, and it is said that it is a habit passed down by the old lady of Chen Guogong's family......"
"Old Madam Chen? Does the Chen family have the habit of holding a flower-viewing banquet in every room? ”
Chen Guogong is also Chen Er, who is a person in the second room, and Chen Qiniang is a person in the fourth room, which is also what Wei Yuan heard from Old Man Bi, so he understands something.
In the eyes of outsiders, the four rooms of the Chen family belong to the same family, because the relationship between the four rooms is not out, and the people of the Chen family are all short in their bones, so they can't distinguish between those who have several rooms.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Wei Yuan in surprise, but she didn't expect this inconspicuously dressed lady to be able to distinguish the Chen family's rooms, her eyes fell on the white jade bracelet on Wei Yuan's wrist, and her attitude became more and more respectful.
"That slave doesn't know, but I just heard from the prefect that he said so."
Wei Yuan faintly heard some subtext, and said in surprise: "Mother Zhang is not from the same prefect?" ”
"Of course not," Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Most of the people in the same prefect's mansion are old people of the Chen family, and you can see at a glance how you are dressed." No, that is the mother of the same prefect. ”
Mrs. Zhang raised her chin to the front, Wei Yuan followed her gaze, and saw a person wearing a colorful dark flower jacket and a few red gold hairpins on his head, smiling and talking with a little lady.
"Lady, I can only send you here," when she arrived at the gate of the inner garden, Mrs. Zhang stopped, "There is a special mother-in-law who will receive you." ”
Wei Yuan was stunned, probably understood what kind of errand Mrs. Zhang was, and hurriedly took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and handed them over.
"Lady, we ......"
Mrs. Zhang was stunned, glanced at the few pieces of silver in Wei Yuan's hand, bit her lip before smiling and about to speak, but before she finished speaking, she heard an angry voice.
"Mrs. Zhang! What do you do? ”
The voice was stern and arrogant, it was the mother-in-law of the same prefect just now.
"Wang, Wang's mother," Mrs. Zhang was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "This is the lady who received an invitation to participate in the flower viewing banquet, and she came to ...... for the first time this year."
Mother Wang heard that Wei Yuan had also received an invitation, her face softened a little, she saluted Wei Yuan slightly, turned her head and reprimanded Mrs. Zhang with a straight face.
"If it weren't for Grandma's face, you wouldn't have been able to get this errand! Don't forget the rules of our Chen family, don't lose the face of our Chen family! ”
"Don't think it's okay to shirk it on other people's little ladies! Don't think I didn't see you hesitated to take it! If this happens again, you won't need it! ”
Mrs. Zhang was anxious, Mother Wang was very majestic, Wei Yuan was a little embarrassed to stand aside, and the silver in her hand was not taken back in this second, nor was she not accepted.
But fortunately, Wei Yuan is not the kind of thin-skinned person, and he returned to normal in a second or two, as if nothing had happened, and only smiled after Wang's mother reprimanded.
"It's up to me for this, it's the first time I've come to the flower viewing banquet, I don't know the situation, Zhang's mother was just about to refuse, but I didn't expect Wang's mother to come over."
Wei Yuan didn't like this bullying mother Wang very much, and there were other meanings in her words: Mother Zhang was going to refuse, but before she could say anything, you just came over and reprimanded her.
Mother Wang is a person who begs for a living in the mansion, so she can naturally hear the meaning of Wei Yuan's words, and her face is a little stiff.
"yes, that's really my fault."
Mother Wang's tone was a little colder, and her eyes were a little more unkind when she looked at Wei Yuan.
She remembered the famous ladies in Yangzhou, and she didn't know where to come to the invitation letter in the inner garden, and it shouldn't be a stake to look at the dress.
"Since I was wrong, then I apologize to Zhang's mother."
Mother Wang looked at Mrs. Zhang's hands to the side, her legs bent slightly, and she quickly stood up.
Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale on the side.
Wei Yuan's face turned cold, this was to tell her.
