Chapter 61: Visitation 2
It was a necklace made of blood-red coral beads, worn on Mrs. Wei's neck, it was called a noble person, Mrs. Wei liked it very much, and praised it: "Grandma is the first to recover Xue Ying's gift, I didn't expect it to be so suitable, it seems that Xue Ying has a heart." ”
"Grandma, it's not so much that Xue Ying has a heart, but that the prince has a heart, this gift was given by the prince, and Xue Ying is just a transfer." Wei Xueying put down the tea cup in her hand and said with a smile.
As soon as she heard the word "prince", Mrs. Wei's face changed instantly, but it was a subtle look, but she was also captured in Wei Xueying's eyes, and Mrs. Wei, who was originally fond of this coral bead, immediately put the coral beads into the brocade box with a trembling hand, and said to the maid on the side: "Put away this gift." ”
Wei Xueying understood, it seems that Mrs. Wei also has scruples about Chu Ling.
As for Zi Xi'er, she didn't have much feeling for the name Chu Ling, and still maintained a standard smile.
It seems that the name Chu Ling is slightly special in the eyes of the Wei family.
Seeing that the coral necklace was put into the house, Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Xueying and said seriously: "Xueying, come back to see grandma next time, don't bring anything, grandma has everything." ”
"Grandma, Xue Ying is also a piece of filial piety." Wei Xueying said.
Mrs. Wei's face was a little ugly, and she turned to Zi Xi'er and said, "Xi'er, it's rare that Xue Ying is here, you go to the dining room and tell them to prepare more today, and at noon today, Xue Ying will eat here." ”
Zi Xi'er got up, looked at Wei Xueying respectfully, and said to Mrs. Wei, "Yes, Xi'er will go now." ”
A fool can also see that the rough work done by a girl in the dining room will naturally not let Zi Xi'er, the eldest lady, go, Wei Xueying is mentally prepared, it seems that Mrs. Wei has something to say.
Looking at Zi Xi'er's figure with a smile and leaving gracefully, Mrs. Wei picked up the tea and took a sip, got up and said to Wei Xueying: "Xueying, grandma has recently moved some new flowers and plants in this yard, grandma will take you to have a look." ”
"Yes." Wei Xueying followed.
After retiring the maid who was about to follow, Mrs. Wei led her to a small lotus pond in the courtyard.
Lotus leaf buds have grown on the green lotus leaves, indicating that this early summer has arrived.
Mrs. Wei looked at a and Di Lian, pointed to Wei Xueying and said, "Xue Ying, look, there is a Ji Di Lian there." ”
And Tillian?
Wei Xueying had only heard of it, but had not seen it, and following the direction of Mrs. Wei's finger, she looked over, and sure enough, it was Di Lian.
Two buds grow together, and this side is a symbol of the love of husband and wife since ancient times.
The buds are green all over, but the tips of the buds are slightly lighter in color, with a hint of pink.
Wei Xueying looked at Na and Dilian, not understanding what Mrs. Wei wanted to say.
"You see, the bud on the right is so good, but look at the bud on the right, it doesn't grow well, it seems to have been damaged by some insect, if the time is long, when the flowering period comes, the bud on the left rots, and the bud on the right will also suffer." As she spoke, Mrs. Wei squatted down and picked up a stone at her feet.
After aiming, Mrs. Wei waved her right hand, and the stone flew out, accurately hitting the root of the bud on the left, and almost in the blink of an eye, the bud on the left fell down and fell on the lotus leaf.
Good internal strength, good technique!
Wei Xueying really didn't know, it turned out that Mrs. Wei was also a master.
It seems that this Wei family is really the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"Look, grandma can protect the good bud by knocking down the bud that has been damaged by insects." Mrs. Wei said.
Wei Xueying could hear that Mrs. Wei meant something.
The so-called and Dilian is a metaphor for husband and wife, the man on the left and the woman on the right, and the one on the left represents the husband, Mrs. Wei is using this and Dilian to indirectly tell her that about her marriage with Chu Ling, it is not Hehe Meimei.
"Xueying, if anything happens in the future, you must remember what grandma said to you today, you are a member of my Wei family, grandma is naturally protecting you towards you, but if you go against the Wei family in the future, grandma will not be able to protect you......" Mrs. Wei raised her eyes, looked at Wei Xueying, and said.
She said very calmly and calmly, Wei Xueying nodded, and said with a smile: "That's nature." ”
After walking through the lotus pond, Wei Xueying followed Mrs. Wei to a nursery, where a green sapling was planted, which had not yet bloomed.
From the long and narrow leaves, Wei Xueying could see that this was oleander.
Why did Mrs. Wei grow oleanders?
The stems and leaves of oleander are poisonous, and if a child misunderstands it, it may be life-threatening, and she is a little strange, and it seems that strange things are everywhere around her.
Mrs. Wei's expression was very solemn, looking at those oleander saplings, Wei Xueying thought she would say something, but Mrs. Wei didn't say anything.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, Wei Xueying decided to cut through the mess quickly and cut directly to the topic.
"Grandma, before the accident, my father once mentioned to me that the relationship with my uncle and second uncle was not very good, because of an incident in the past, he has always been haunted by it and deeply regretted it, and also said that if he died, he would not reconcile with his uncle and second uncle, and he would not turn a blind eye. So, I came here to ask my grandmother what had happened to them. ”
Wei Xueying looked at Mrs. Wei's face and became a little more solemn, and she didn't seem to be willing to mention it, so she added: "Recently, Xue Ying always dreamed of her father, and said to Xue Ying that he was thinking about the people of the Wei family, and it seemed that he was really dead, Xue Ying wanted to let her father go to a safe place, so she wanted to ask her grandmother about it, and if she and her uncle and second uncle could release their suspicions in the future, they would be a family after all." ”
Saying this, Mrs. Wei's expression finally eased, and her eyes showed some compassion.
After all, Wei Chenglong is Mrs. Wei's biological son, and as a mother, she will not be too desperate.
"Hey, that's a long story...... It's all the trouble of greed! Mrs. Wei finally relented and spoke.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Wei told her about the incident back then.
It turned out that when the eldest aunt Wei Zhilan was elected to the palace and became the favorite concubine of the emperor's side, the emperor favored the Wei family and handed over the right to mine silver to the Wei family, and this mining right became the first thing that broke between the three brothers.
The emperor's decree was to hand it over to the three brothers of the Wei family, so all the silver mines in Northern Chu were distributed in the hands of the Wei family, and they were divided into three major mines, and the nearby small silver mines were merged into the management of these three major mines.
Because Wei Chenglong was the smallest, at the beginning, Master Wei deliberately favored and assigned the largest mine to Wei Chenglong for management.
Because of this incident, the eldest brother and the second brother had the intention of squeezing out Wei Chenglong.
If it is said that just because of this silver mine, there will be no trouble between brothers.
Wei Chenglong was also an impatient person when he was young, and everyone brought their children to the old house of Wei Mansion to reunite, and they deliberately made things difficult for Wei Chenglong, and Wei Chenglong made a mistake as soon as he was impatient.
