Chapter 12: Prelude to Return (2)
Looking at the pile of clothes, Wei Wei's eyes rolled. "Mama, I don't want this, I don't have any flowers! Well, I'm going to see for myself, so I'll have this one! There are flowers and butterflies! Wei Wei got up and ran to Mama Chen's side, snatched the moon's white clothes and threw them on the ground, and deliberately stomped them to show disgust. He picked up another pale pink skirt embroidered with a butterfly flower pattern and held it happily.
Mama Chen was startled, and looked at Wei Wei suspiciously, how could this master be assertive today? However, when I heard Wei Wei's words, my heart relaxed again, it turned out that children just liked to be lively. I couldn't help but have an idea.
Mama Chen frowned, and deliberately made a sad expression: "Miss, this dress is full of flowers and colorful butterflies, it is naturally excellent, if you wear it like this on weekdays, it will be fine." It's just that when the old lady comes back today, I'm afraid that the old lady won't be happy when she sees it. The eldest lady has changed it. With that, he went to pull the clothes in Wei Wei's hand.
"Mama, why doesn't my grandmother be happy when she sees me wearing beautiful clothes?" Wei Wei raised her head and asked crisply.
Looking at Wei Wei's clear eyes, Mama Chen felt a touch of guilt in her heart, but it dissipated in an instant. If it weren't for his wife, how could he have a good life now? She didn't want to live such a humble and cautious life before. And even if you don't have yourself, there will be others. The master in front of her, from the moment she was born, was a mistake.
"Because our eldest lady is a concubine, how can you make the second lady happy with the old lady? What's more, when the old lady returned from a long illness, if she was dressed like this, wouldn't it tell the old lady that you were not worried about her at all? How can you show your respect and filial piety? Mama Chen hardened her heart and said.
"What is a concubine? What is Rite? Why did my mother treat me like a second sister? Wei Wei asked curiously. Indeed, in this mansion over the years, Wei Wei's food and clothing have always been the same as the second lady. Although Liang treats her closely, he has never let people mean her to these things, and I have to say that Liang's face work is excellent.
"At that time, it was because of the love of the lady. The old lady is from a royal background, and she is the most important in the rules, and she cares very much about the difference between the concubines. Mama Chen said without blinking. With his hands on the other hand, he continued to pick and choose the plain ones among the pile of clothes. The room has been stepped on and can't be worn.
Is it loving? I'm afraid not. Wei Wei sneered in her heart when she heard this.
"Would you look respectful in that one?"
"Naturally. The eldest lady has no intention of wearing good-looking clothes because she is worried about the old lady, how can she be disrespectful? Where is the disobedience? β
Clever words! Wei Wei couldn't help but be indignant.
"Miss, what's wrong with you today? Mama Chen naturally does things for your own good! Don't listen to the instigation of other little hooves. Qingyin, who was standing on the side, jumped out at this moment, and the open flame and candle led the spearhead to Qingyue, who had been standing quietly for a long time not far away. In and out of the words, Qingyue provoked Wei Wei to do the right thing to Mama Chen.
Qingyue raised her head, the scene just now always made her feel weird in her heart. Even if the old lady has been sick for a long time and returned home, but after all, she has been raised for three years, it is right to dress plainly, but is it necessary to be so plain? But Mama Chen couldn't say that it was wrong, and she was also very entangled in her heart. At this moment, Qingyin pointed the finger at her head, but she didn't react for a while.
Wei Wei's heart also jumped. The speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, Qingyin said this, thinking that there was a reason for deliberately provoking Mama Chen and Qingyue, and I am afraid that there is a reason why I feel that I am a little abnormal. If there is such a dispute again, it will be difficult to make Mama Chen suspicious.
Mama Chen was also stunned when she heard Qingyin's words, could it be that Qingyue's little hoof did move something? But if you think about it carefully, it's not possible, after all, they have always been very guarded, Qingyue has almost never had time to get along with Wei Wei alone, not to mention that Qingyue has always kept to herself, and it seems that she is a cautious and sensible person who knows how to advance and retreat. It should be Qingyin's little hoof's unintentional words.
So he reprimanded: "Qingyin shut up!" What do you say in front of your master? β
Seeing that Mama Chen's scolding was serious, Qingyin had no choice but to shut up. But I hate it even more in my heart, Mama Chen actually protects Qingyue's slut! Damn it!
Seeing this, Wei Wei deliberately asked, "Mama, what is the little hoof?" I also hope to use this to draw Mama Chen's attention.
"Miss, don't listen to the nonsense of the Qingyin girl, that's nonsense, don't listen to it." Mama Chen's attention was really diverted.
After pulling her son again, Mama Chen saw that Wei Wei had forgotten about the clothes, so she secretly wondered how to make Wei Wei change into the newly picked plain clothes.
When she turned her head, she saw Qingyin beckoning to her gently, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but Qingyin waved frequently, so she couldn't bear to be impatient and instructed Wei Wei, and avoided it with Qingyin.
"What's the matter with calling me out?" Mama Chen asked angrily.
"Auntie, are you worried about how to get the eldest lady to change into that dress? I have a way. Qingyin looked at Mama Chen's face, was timid in her heart, and plucked up the courage to say.
"What can you do?" Glancing at Qingyin, Mama Chen really didn't have any hope for this niece who was neither light nor heavy.
Originally, I wanted to sell Guanzi, but when I saw Mama Chen's expression, I knew that it was not time, and Qingyin conveniently spit out what she wanted to say.
"Why should Mama discuss with the eldest lady? You are in charge of the entire West Cross Courtyard, the eldest lady is young, and you don't know her temperament yet? As long as you don't give her a choice. You just have to choose your clothes and let them change for the eldest lady! β
Mama Chen's eyes lit up, yes, she had drilled a dead end. Looking up at Qingyin, it was as if he had discovered a new continent. "I didn't expect you to be so clever when this girl is so clever!"
"Aunt makes fun of me!" Seeing that Mama Chen's face was happy, Qingyin's heart relaxed. Although she is Mama Chen's niece, she swaggers under the guise of Mama Chen's niece all day long, but in fact, she is just a distant relative who can't be beaten by eight poles, and she was worried just now that she would be disgusted by Mama Chenγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"But you girl too, why do you always have trouble with that Qingyue?" Thinking of Fang Cai, Mama Chen counted down again, but there was no blame in her words at the moment.
"Am I not angry! She always occupies my place and does not leave, although I am also first-class now, but γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Qingyin Qidao.
"Be careful! I'm going to protect you, but you can't go too far. After all, she was assigned by the old lady. β
"What about the old lady's assignment? She wasn't the only one who came! Now it's not your aunt's realm! Qingyin sneered.
Mama Chen's face changed, "Shut up!"
Qingyin suddenly closed his voice in fright.
"Don't say that again! Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth! Although Mama Chen was angry, she also read that Qingyin had given her an idea just now, and she was her niece, so she was more relieved than outsiders. He also let it go gently, and only carefully told her not to talk nonsense.
Although she was not directly involved in the events of that year, she also planned a lot for the future. Just think about it in your heart, if you really say it, I'm afraid that disaster will not be far away!
