Chapter 167: Inquiry
The family has eaten, but Wei Liniang has not come back, and the people sent out to look for it have not returned, obviously they have not been found.
Wei Mu couldn't sit still, looked at the sky, and said, "Why don't I go to the Suiping Marquis Mansion." Anyway, I always have to go, so it's better to go now, and I can ask if Liniang is there. ”
"Okay, then you can go for it." Wei Qiu Dao.
In the Suiping Marquis Mansion, because the old lady was pretending to be sick, except for two or three relatives who came to visit in person in the past two days, everyone else was blocked by Zhao Yuanxun and his wife on the grounds of "recuperation".
Zhao Jingli, Zhao Jing'an, Zhao Ruyu and others, who wanted to show their filial piety, were also sent away by them and asked them to do what they should do.
After Xu Xi was picked up that night, it happened that Zhao Ruyu and others came to visit the patient, she showed up in front of people, and lived in Xinlan Courtyard, which was a guest house, and did not show up again, and honestly started fishing bait. On the side of the academy, he naturally asked for leave on the grounds of "serving illness".
Because Xinlan Courtyard is a guest house, it is a separate courtyard, and the location is a little remote. After Xu Xi moved in, Qingfeng would come out every time he had a meal and go to the kitchen to pick up food. Someone who cares naturally noticed.
For this reason, Mama Ruan led Mrs. Liu and the others to catch several people who were probing their brains and sending news nearby.
In order to avoid startling the snake, after Xu Xi was taken back and lived in Xinlan Courtyard, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu did not go to see her.
At this time, the only people who accompanied the old lady were Zhao Yuanxun and the eldest lady and his wife.
The old lady drank the bird's nest porridge tastelessly and asked, "Count the days, it should be about the same, right?" ”
Zhao Yuanxun nodded: "It's almost, it's only in this day or two." ”
The old lady sighed, "Hurry up." Once that's over, I'll be able to get better. ”
Zhao Yuanxun and the eldest lady were silent.
They are also looking forward to the end of this matter soon, and they also want to hear Xu Xi call them father and mother. But thinking of Zhao Jingli, who has been carefully raised for so many years, what their reaction was after hearing the news, their hearts couldn't be happy.
The old lady also knew that their knots, even herself, were not comfortable.
In order not to embarrass the couple, she never asked them what they planned for Zhao Jingli and Xu Xi.
Mama Zhou came in and said, "Old lady, Hou Ye, Madam, the people from the Wei Mansion have come several times to inquire about the news of the second lady." said that the second lady said that she had come to our Hou Mansion early in the morning, but she has not gone back so far. ”
Zhao Yuanxun and the eldest lady glanced at each other, and they were both in good spirits.
They put down their chopsticks and were about to speak, when they saw Caidie walk in quickly and said, "Old lady, Hou Ye, madam, the old lady of the Wei family is here, saying that she has come to visit the old lady's condition." ”
Wei Qiu's mother is still alive, so Wei's mother is called Mrs. in the Wei family, and her daughters-in-law are called young grandmothers. It's different from the name of the Suiping Marquis Mansion. But she is the same generation as the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and the people of the Hou Mansion call her the old lady Wei.
When several people in the room heard this, they all looked up to see the sky outside.
It was not yet dark, but the light had dimmed. At this kind of hour, except for aunts and grandmothers like Zhao Ruyu who encounter family members who are in a hurry, no one will come to visit at this hour.
"Didn't you come to find Wei?" The old lady asked.
"It should be." The eldest lady nodded.
"Wei's not going back so late, it's really unruly." The old lady said displeased.
Zhao Yuanxun and the eldest lady had already guessed that Wei had been summoned by Dali Temple. Both of them were very uneasy, worried that things would not go the way they had expected. If Wei Qiu is let go, the Hou Mansion will inevitably suffer.
But it's not good to say this to the old lady in front of a few subordinates.
Zhao Yuanxun was in a hurry to go outside the house to inquire about the news, and said to his wife: "If you are too lazy to deal with it, it is better to ask a few children in the second room to talk first." After a pause, he added, "Call Brother Li'er too." ”
The eldest lady shook her body and raised her eyes to look at her husband.
Since Zhao Yuanxun returned from Gusu, the couple deliberately avoided the topic of Zhao Jingli. It seems that if you talk about him a day later, you will strip away this relationship a day later. And both husband and wife have cognition, and the other party must think the same as themselves.
Now listening to her husband's words, the eldest lady knows that her husband has made a decision.
Let the people in the second room receive Wei's mother, and Zhao Jingli is also in the second room!
The eldest lady ignored the faint discomfort in her heart, and turned her face and instructed Caidie: "You let people lead them to Yunhe Hall, and let the second master go over with the eldest young master, the second young master, the fourth girl, and the sixth girl." ”
It stands to reason that when Mother Wei came to visit the patient, the eldest lady should take her to Rongxi Hall, look at the old lady, and say a few words of comfort, and then lead her to Yunhe Hall to talk.
But at this juncture, the eldest lady didn't dare to take Wei's mother to Rongxi Hall.
After a pause, she told Caidie again: "Let Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yue, and others go to Yunhe Hall to guard and protect a few children." ”
She was worried that something would happen, and Wei's mother would take a few children as hostages. Anyway, it's okay to be careful, it's always okay to be careful.
In Yunhe Hall, Wei's mother heard Caidie say that the old lady had fallen asleep after taking the medicine, and the eldest lady was eating, so she asked her to wait, and she didn't care.
Because of the Wei collision, she knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Suiping Hou would definitely give her a look. She didn't come to the Hou Mansion to see the faces of these two people.
Zhu didn't come, she just set a set of Zhao Jing'an and Zhao Ruyu's words.
Zhao Jingli saw that his mother was in the future for a long time, except for the next person in this house, there was only one big house like him, and the rest were the grandsons of the Wei family. Wei Mu took Zhao Jing'an's hand and spoke affectionately, ignoring him.
He didn't feel very comfortable, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart.
He is the son of the world, and it stands to reason that the man of the Hou Mansion, except for his father, is the highest status. He's fourteen years old now, and he's an adult. When he came out to receive Mother Wei, Mother Wei should treat him as the master of the Hou Mansion, instead of ignoring him.
He stood up and said with a cold attitude: "You guys talk first, I'll go out a little beforehand." ”
"Go, go, let's see why your mother hasn't come yet." Wei's mother wished that he would go out quickly, she would take Zhao Jing'an's words.
Zhao Jingan grew up with Zhao Jingli and knows his temper best. As soon as he saw him like this, he knew that he was unhappy, and he was about to explain a few words for his grandmother, when he saw Zhao Jingli turn around and leave.
He had to give up, thinking that it would not be too late to explain later.
"Ah, why is this tea Qi Green? I don't drink Qi Lu, you go and make me a new pot of Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots. Mother Wei began to send the two maids of the Hou Mansion in the house, "You, go and see for me, why hasn't the in-law lady come yet." ”
The maid had already received Caidie's advice, and when she heard that she was driving people, she went out in a hurry, so that they could talk privately.
Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yue and others were standing outside the house.
