Because the old lady likes orchids, Tete opened a small garden to raise those orchids, there are two huts in the garden, usually put some seasonal yarn cabinets, curtains and other sundries, than the place where she lives now is more narrow and crowded, and far away in the westernmost part of Shangshu Mansion, not to mention Wei Dongkang, even the people rarely pass there.

Aunt Ping let out a sad voice: "The master is so ruthless! I'm going to find Madame! I want my wife to make the decisions for me! ”

Aunt Cai shook her head with a smile, called Lian'er in, and continued to do her needlework.

Aunt Cai was suddenly favored, which made Cui's puzzled, she patiently comforted Aunt Ping, and called Ziyuan and said, "Have you inquired clearly?" Is what Aunt Ping said true? ”

Zi Yuan bit her lip and said: "The slave maid also thinks it's strange, Aunt Cai has been quiet and quiet, but somehow she suddenly turned over, and the master personally asked her about the eating utensils in the courtyard, I wonder if she complained about the lady's mistreatment of her in front of the master?" ”

Cui Shi said: "How can I be harsh? But snub her. Those housekeepers, which one is not a human spirit, seeing that I don't care much about her, I secretly withheld many good things from her, she has endured it silently all these years, but why did she suddenly complain to the master? ”

Zi Yuan said: "I heard that the second lady blocked the prince's way on the street, and asked the prince to take charge of the family affairs, and now Aunt Cai is like this, is it because the second lady has gained face in front of the prince?" ”

Cui Shi said: "The master told me about this matter, but he only said that Jiang Niang didn't know how to do it, and it should have nothing to do with the prince." Cai's is not simple, she entered the house ten years before me, even if the lord is not affectionate to her, after all, there is an old love, I have been wary of her for several years, and I still asked her to take advantage of the loophole! ”

Zi Yuan hesitated for a while, but still told what she had heard, "I heard that the master went to Aunt Cai's house and sent everyone away. When I came out, I didn't even wear a shirt......"

Cui Shi frowned and said, "How come? How can the master be such a ......" Seeing that Ziyuan's face was not very good, she knew that she remembered that Wei Dongkang refused to get close that night, so she smiled and said: "The weather is hot, Cai's there is no ice basin, the master is most afraid of heat, don't chew your tongue like those people." Now that Jiang Niang wants to marry, maybe she will marry into a noble family, and the lord will give her mother and daughter face, perhaps in the face of her in-laws. ”

At this time, the voice of the housekeeper's lady came: "Madam, the newly bought girls have arrived." ”

Cui Shi glanced at Ziyuan, Ziyuan lifted the curtain and walked out, standing on the steps and carefully looking at the dozen or so little girls in the courtyard, the eldest was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger one was about ten years old, all dressed neatly and neatly, and stood with their heads bowed. Zi Yuan nodded, and said to the housekeeper's lady: "Mother Wang has worked hard, it has only been a few days, and she has taught these girls to be well-behaved. ”

Mama Wang smiled and said, "Madame is generous, then take it directly to the courtyard of the two young ladies." ”

The group arrived at Wei Yan's courtyard first, and Mama Wang whispered all the way: "The eldest lady has big rules, so you must be more careful." In the future, Miss will marry into the family of the Minister, and you will be Miss's right-hand man, representing the face of our Shangshu Mansion......"

Wei Yan was whispering to Ruyue in the room, and listened to Ruyue's words: "It's a shame that the guards found those people in ambush, otherwise the young lady would have revealed her whereabouts." The matter has been known to the master, and it will not be easy to ask Aunt Qin to leave the house next time......"

Wei Yan said: "I live in the inner house, and I am not good at those selfish methods, how can I be my father's opponent?" I'll ask Gai Lingwei to let Doctor Qin go......"

Ruyue said happily: "Miss, really? Dr. Qin has been detained for two days, I don't know how scared I am, it's great that you are willing to let him go! ”

Wei Yan was overjoyed when she saw her, shook her head and said, "As soon as I said let him go, look at your happiness, are you satisfied?" Aren't you afraid to let him out, and he will shake out the matter of my investigation of the Qin family? ”

Ruyue said with a smile: "Miss is willing to let him go, so she is naturally thoughtful, and she has a way to make him unable to speak." Besides, there is a prince behind the young lady, who dares to do anything to the young lady? ”

Wei Yan sighed: "Even you say this, it can be seen that I have a bad reputation. only suffered Xu Lang, and was dragged down by me in vain. ”

Ruyue thought that now that Miss and the Xu family still have a marriage contract, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, wanting to say something to consol, but she heard Mrs. Xu outside smile and said: "Miss, Madame's mother Wang is here!" ”

Wei Yan was puzzled: "What is she doing here with me?" ”

Ruyue said gloomily: "Lilac is gone, and Miss always has to fill in some people who serve." ”

Wei Yan's heart was sour, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, Ruyue tugged at her sleeve: "Miss, go out and take a look." ”

Ruyue opened the curtain, Mother Wang took the little girls in, only to see a stunning beauty sitting in the small hall, knowing that this was the famous eldest lady Wei Yan in the capital, the little girls hurriedly squatted down and saluted, and shouted: "Eldest Miss Wan'an." ”

Wei Yan said: "Get up." Mother Wang, Madame called you, what do you have to say? ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "What Mrs. means, the young lady calls the people herself, the young ladies are in charge of their own decisions, the lady has called the slave maid to teach these children the rules, they are all obedient and duty-observing, which ones do the young lady like, just stay." Even if you leave it all, you can leave it all. ”

Wei Yan asked, "Wei Jiang has seen it?" ”

Mrs. Wang said: "No." The eldest and youngest are orderly, and the eldest lady is chosen first. ”

Wei Yan waved at Ruyue: "Go, call the second lady to come over and take a look." ”

After a while, Wei Jiang walked in with Ying'er, and Wei Yan pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You sit." ”

He said to the little girls: "This is the second miss." ”

The little girls saluted together: "Second Miss Wan'an." ”

Wei Jiang smiled: "Sister's side is short of people? I'm okay over there, just one Ying'er is enough. ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't hear the injustice in her words, and said with a smile: "In the past, the second lady lived upstairs, and the place was crowded, and she couldn't accommodate so many people. Now that the new yard has been moved, there are still a lot of empty rooms in the back hood room, and the meaning of the lady is to ask the second lady to fill up the people, and choose the person she likes. ”

Wei Jiang smiled: "Madame is kind, but it is disrespectful." ”

Wei Yan said: "I'll keep two honest ones here, Wei Jiang, you can pick and choose." ”

Wei Jiang was not polite, and asked those little girls one by one, and chose two with outstanding appearances and two with good speech.

Wei Yan chose two mediocre ones who looked honest.

Mother Wang took the rest of the people to wait, and Wei Yan asked, "Jiang Niang, I heard that your marriage has not been decided yet?" Do you have someone you like? Maybe I can persuade my father ......"

Wei Jiang knew what she meant, if she was not satisfied with the family affair that her father had set for her, Wei Yan would go to the prince and set her a person she liked. Wei Jiang smiled: "Sister has a way to influence my father?" If that's the case, why don't my sister beg my father for me and marry me into the East Palace? ”

Wei Yan didn't expect her to be so outspoken, and she didn't know whether to persuade or not.

Wei Jiang smiled: "Sister is embarrassed? If my sister really had a heart, she should have known who I meant, so why would she be tempted by words and make me faceless? ”

Wei Yan hurriedly pulled her sleeve and explained, "Wei Jiang, you know that I didn't mean that. ”

Wei Jiang sneered: "I naturally know that you don't mean that." At Princess Qinghe's birthday banquet, you and Xu Yuqin were behind the rockery, and I saw it. I know it's not him you like! But what he likes in his heart is you, even if you were once favored by his father, even if you are engaged to Xu Yuqin, he still wants you. You don't have to be embarrassed, and you don't have to beg him for my business, he rejected the marriage of the great Sima brother-in-law for me, and he has done his best to me. No matter who my father marries me, I will never complain anymore, I have fought for myself, I can't ask for it, and I can only accept my fate. ”

She saw through and spoke calmly, and Wei Yan couldn't find the words to comfort her for a while. only sighed: "Wei Jiang, you are more free and easy than me!" ”

Wei Jiang said: "Don't you blame me for going to the palace gate to find him in your name?" ”

Wei Yan shook his head and said, "You also indirectly helped me escape from the shackles, my fate should be like this, how can I blame you?" ”

"You have taken away the person in my heart, I have ruined your reputation, we have both lost the joy of this life, we can only be a person who goes with the flow and goes against the grain, it can be considered even!"

Wei Jiang stood up, greeted the sunlight shining through the door, stretched his waist, walked to the door, looked back and smiled: "Wei Yan, you were not wrong in those things in the past. It's me who was too willful, and I apologize to you. ”

Her voice was low and soft, and she struck Wei Yan's heart word by word.

Wei Yan suddenly raised his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean?" ”

Wei Jiang stretched his lips and smiled: "Sister, that's what you think." ”
