Chapter 33: The Battle

Previous Chapter

"It's strange that the old lady loves her sister so much, and she has to bring it back here if she hasn't seen it enough in the Hou Mansion, it turns out that she is such a delicate person! The slave and maid can't love it when they see it! As soon as she entered the room, Ming Lan saluted quickly, and then said to Mrs. Wei sitting in the hall with a smile, looking amazed.

In obvious contrast to her casual behavior, Wei Wei and Wei Yuan kowtowed in a proper manner: "Granddaughter Wei Wei (Wei Yuan) visits her grandmother." ”

"Hurry up." Mrs. Wei was obviously in a very good mood at the moment, so she first called at Wei Wei Yuan, signaled the maids to help her to do it, and then turned her head and said in the direction of Ming Lan: "You will say!" Monkey spirit, monkey spirit. His tone was full of smiles.

When Wei Wei saluted, she quickly glanced at the hall, the visual area was 200+, and there was a table and chair of rosewood with water against the wall in the direction of the door, and an incense burner was placed in the corner next to it, and there was a fragrant fragrance coming out of it.

Mama Zhong also came to say a few words in fun, and Mrs. Wei then signaled to pass the meal.

The meal was not served in the hall, but in a flower hall with a large round table with carved lacquer.

"Sure enough, I didn't accept the old man, and I forgot to ask you two what you two like to eat. Let's see if it suits your taste. Sitting down at the table, Mrs. Wei suddenly remembered that she was a little negligent, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"It's okay grandmother, I don't have anything to be afraid of." Wei Wei said at the same time as Wei Yuan.

At the same time, there was also the words of the maid Minghuang who had been quiet when she was quiet: "Back to the old lady, the eldest sister has no taboos, the third sister does not eat ducks, and Mama Zhong has ordered the slave maid to inquire in advance." ”

The room was quiet for a while, Wei Yuan was a little embarrassed, she didn't know what to say, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

"The meal in the dining room has been delivered, old lady, can you set the dishes?" Mama Zhong asked casually.

"Yes, yes, let's hurry up and serve the food, I'm afraid the two little ones are already hungry." Mrs. Wei waved her hand, and this topic was not mentioned.

A row of maidservants slowly came in, and one after another exquisite dishes were placed on the round table.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour tenderloin, stir-fried shrimp, hibiscus scallops, crispy hairtail, beef steamed bowl, Yipin tofu, boiling cabbage, boiled cabbage heart, leek spring bamboo shoots, stewed beef soup, winter melon soup A total of six meats, four vegetables and two soups, a table is full.

"You two don't have to be too restrained, just make this place your own. Don't just watch, eat them all. Old Madam Wei looked at Wei Wei and Wei Yuan, who were sitting on the left and right sides respectively, and said.

Both of them agreed, and then picked up the chopsticks and each picked up the dish closest to them.

"Come on, eat some ribs to make up for it." Mrs. Wei sandwiched a piece of ribs between the two of them.

Wei Yuan reacted quickly, and also sandwiched a piece of pork ribs to Mrs. Wei: "Grandmother eats it too." ”

Wei Wei's reaction was not slow, but thinking that Mrs. Wei was here after all, and she was afraid that something like pork ribs would not be easy to restrain her, so she sandwiched a chopstick and fried shrimp.

Mrs. Wei was very happy, and her smiling eyes narrowed into a line. The children are filial: "Okay, good, you are all filial children, eat quickly." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yuan was very excited, and he grabbed a crispy fish with chopsticks and wanted to put it on the plate for Mrs. Wei.

Mama Zhong's eyes were quick, and she quickly sandwiched a chopstick boiling water and cabbage for Mrs. Wei, blocking Wei Yuan's chopsticks, and then said to Wei Yuan gently: "The third sister only cares about herself, and the old lady will let the slave and maid serve here." ”

I secretly wiped a handful of sweat in my heart: fortunately, I moved quickly, otherwise it would be easy to hurt the old lady when this ribbon fish was not good when it was eaten, not to mention that the old lady didn't like to eat this ribbon fish very much...

Wei Yuan put the hairtail back on his plate and ate it with relish.

Wei Wei secretly laughed in her heart: A typical child's psychology, I will share what I like to eat with you, instead of thinking about what you like to eat or what you should eat...

In fact, it is enough to do your best once, and it is too much.

What's more, if you keep clipping, on the one hand, you are robbing the work of the maids, on the other hand, you must not be close to make people understand other people's tastes, and you don't necessarily like to eat if you clip them, right?

Eat silently, sleep silently.

The meal ended with Mrs. Wei constantly signaling the maids to make dishes for the two people.

At the end of the meal, when the group turned to another room to rest and talk, Wei Wei Wei Yuan realized that there was still a piece of ribs left in a white porcelain plate on the table.

The position of the plate is exactly the position of Mrs. Wei.

And that rib is the one that Wei Yuan clipped.

Finding that Wei Yuan glanced at the lonely ribs on the white porcelain plate, the maid Minghuang explained in Wei Yuan's ear when they got up: "Don't worry too much, the old lady is old and has bad teeth." ”

Wei Yuan nodded sneeringly, his eyes a little gloomy.

When they arrived in the hall, the group began to gossip.

"Lunch is okay, right? How about dinner? Appetizing? Old Madam Wei asked with a sip of tea.

"It's all good." Wei Wei nodded.

"Appetite, grandmother's cooking skills here are so good!" Wei Yuan replied lively.

Obviously, Wei Yuan's answer made Mrs. Wei even more happy.

"That's good, when you get to your grandmother, don't treat yourself as an outsider. If there is anything unsatisfactory, I am embarrassed to tell me, just tell Mama Zhong directly, she is the old man next to me, and she has done everything in general. Old Madam Wei pointed to Mama Zhong who was standing beside her.

Wei Yuan said a few words playfully, which made Mrs. Wei feel very happy.

I saw Wei Wei sitting quietly on the side, and said to her: "You are so old now, you may not remember, you were raised here for a while when you were born earlier, so small, Mama Zhong still hugged you." Said and was a little melancholy: "It's a pity that you were too young at the time, and my body is not angry, otherwise..." Otherwise, you won't live up to your mother's trust...

Back then, Wei Wei's biological mother gave birth to Wei Wei and entrusted Wei Wei to Mrs. Wei. It's a pity that Mrs. Wei later sent Wei Wei back to Weihou Mansion because of her health, but she failed to live up to the trust of the deceased. This has almost become a heart disease in Mrs. Wei's heart.

"Yes, the old slave was also quite emotional when he first saw the eldest sister. Fortunately, now the eldest sister has grown up healthily. Mama Zhong noticed that Mrs. Wei's mood seemed to be a little low for a while, and she was busy talking. The eldest sister is now enlightened? Have you ever studied poetry and books? ”

"Not really." There was a blank look in Wei Wei's clear eyes, and she was silent for a moment before bowing her head and answering.

According to memory, Wei Wei was originally raised by Mrs. Wei Hou Liang, and Wei Hou didn't remember that she had such a daughter, so in her previous life, Wei Wei didn't find out that she had not yet been enlightened until Mrs. Wei came back, so she asked Liang to invite a master for her to learn the rules.

Old Madam Wei and Mama Zhong were a little surprised.

The girls of the family have basically begun to learn the rules since they were three or four years old, but now Wei Wei is four and a half years old, and she has not even started to learn?

"This Ying'er is too busy to be so negligent." Old Madam Wei closed her eyes and said dissatisfied. "Well, since you're here, it's up to my wife to worry about it. Mama Zhong, you go and make arrangements, invite a master to come over and enlighten the eldest sister, and if you follow the rules, you can take the time to teach. ”

Mama Zhong bowed down and was about to go out to make arrangements, when she heard the voice of the third lady, Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan, who had been ignored for a long time, listened to her grandmother and Mrs. Wei talking about Wei Wei there, but she was dissatisfied but couldn't interject, and finally seized the opportunity.

"What does enlightenment mean?" Wei Yuan pretended to be curious and asked.

Actually, she really doesn't understand? Of course not. Aunt Cui had already begun to secretly teach her the three-character scripture of 100 family names and 1,000 characters as early as half a year ago. If it weren't for Aunt Cui, she didn't know much, and I was afraid that she would be able to teach more.

Only then did Mrs. Wei realize that she had neglected one, so she smiled and said, "Enlightenment is learning to read and write." Since the third sister is also here, let's go together! The left and right are also invited to the master, and one or two are taught. Mrs. Wei slapped the board.
