Besides, there are seven or eight young men from the Chu family today, all of whom are tall and slender, and they all look similar, even if they hurriedly glance at them with shyness, they can't recognize who is who.

She bent her knees again with a little embarrassment: "Thank you Chu Sangongzi for coming to the rescue, the little girl was rude......"

"Miss Wei doesn't have to be polite...... The girl's head is injured, should you go to the doctor to see it? Chu Mutong was obviously a little impatient with these red tapes, turned the folding fan in his hand, and saw the wound on her head that broke a layer of skin, and couldn't help but ask.

Wei Zixuan relaxed, only to notice the tingling pain on her forehead. She glanced back at the broken carriage, half of her maid hanging from the edge of the carriage, her fate uncertain. The coachman held his injured leg and sat on the ground moaning. Moaning. The horse, which was dragged by the warrior who looked like a general, was still trampling on the ground recklessly......

She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My injury is not in the way, but ...... Can you trouble the third son of Chu to send the coachman and my maid to a nearby medical center? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a carriage stopped beside her. The little guy in Tsing Yi said to Chu Mutong: "Third son, the carriage has been rented." ”

"First send Miss Wei and her family's subordinates to the medical hall, and send someone to inform Wei Yushi......" Chu Mutong was inexplicably a little irritable in his heart, hurriedly arranged everything, and turned to leave.

Chen Qinglan followed behind him and quipped him: "Third son, you are too confused, right?" The little girl was frightened and needed companionship and comfort. You just threw people to your own little guy......"

Chu Mutong threw a cold look over, and he immediately said cowardly: "Okay, good!" Can't I shut up? …… Actually, you can bring people home by the way, aren't your sister and the two maids beside her both know how to heal? ”

"My sister is recovering from a serious injury, so she shouldn't be tired!" Chu Mutong flicked his sleeves, didn't look at the carriage that was far away, and headed in the direction of the Zhenguo Mansion. This time, whether it was an accident or not, he must investigate it thoroughly, lest his sister mistakenly make a scheming girl!

Since the Chu brothers became adults, they have often encountered some "accidents", and the protagonists of the accidents are all the ladies in Beijing. These well-designed accidents are just opportunities for the ladies to meet them.

In order to avoid provoking these scheming women, the Chu brothers avoided and hid if they could. I have been bored and troubled many times. Wish...... This time, he thought too much.

Wei Yushi hurried to Jimin Hall, and when he saw his daughter with gauze wrapped around her head, the coachman with a broken leg, and the seriously injured maid, he blamed himself. The carriage at home is about the same age as the daughter, and it is long overdue to be replaced.

However, a brand-new carriage costs a few taels of silver, and this year has just finished the daughter's ceremony, and the daughter's family affairs are about to be put on the agenda...... He shouldn't have saved these taels of silver in order to save a dowry for his daughter, and almost hurt his daughter.

After carefully inquiring about her daughter's injuries, she was relieved to learn that she had just accidentally hit her head in the carriage and scratched a little oily skin, which was not serious.

Wei Yushi hired a carriage and took the people back. The coachman gave him two taels of silver, and told him to recuperate at home, and then come back on an errand when his injuries were healed. And the little maid was bought from outside, and she had no relatives and no support, so she was left in the house to recuperate, and a little girl was hired to serve her temporarily.

Mrs. Wei was afraid that her daughter would be frightened, so she slept in the east wing with her daughter at night. From her daughter's mouth, she learned that it was her daughter's friend's brother who saved her daughter, otherwise her daughter would not have been injured less than the maid. She brushed the hair on her daughter's sideburns behind her ears and said softly:

"Master Chu can be regarded as saving your life. Although the great grace is not grateful, the minimum etiquette must be done. Tomorrow, my mother will prepare a thank you gift and go to the Zhenguo Mansion to express her gratitude. ”

Wei Zixuan thought for a while, lowered her head and said, "I'm just afraid...... The gate of the Zhenguo Gong is not so easy to enter. ”

From the few ladies' gatherings she attended, she pieced together how hot the Zhenguo Mansion was. Since the Great Medicine Meeting, there is no shortage of first- and second-class officials who want to have a relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion, as well as nobles in Beijing. However, except for those who have friendships on weekdays, all of them are euphemistically shirked.

Daddy is the most upright one in Yushitai, and he doesn't have much contact with other officials on weekdays, let alone the Zhenguo Mansion. The mother prepared a ceremony to come to the door, but she was afraid that she would be regarded as a petty official who came to the door and was turned away.

"Whether we can get in or not, what we should do is still to be done." Mrs. Wei frowned slightly, and said with some sorrow, "It's just...... I don't know what the Duchess of Zhenguo and the girl of the Chu family have. This gift cannot be taken lightly. After all, they saved you! ”

Wei Zixuan remembered the diamond-encrusted pocket watch in Gu Ye's hand. Listening to the meaning of the political envoy Si Jia, an ordinary pocket watch will cost more than 10,000 taels of silver. If you give a gift bought outside, even if you take out all the savings of the family, you may not be able to get into the eyes of others.

However, she believes that Miss Chu is not the kind of person who uses money to measure people. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Miss Chu seems to appreciate her daughter's embroidery. At the last party in Liuquan Villa, she won the competition, and she didn't choose many expensive lottery heads, except for a double-sided dough fan embroidered by her daughter. Or...... My daughter rushed to work overnight and embroidered a handkerchief for her? ”

"Silly girl! Someone's brother has a life-saving grace with you, so you will send them away with a handkerchief? It's so insincere, isn't it? Mrs. Wei tapped her daughter's head, took out a red cloth bag from a faded box, and said with a smile, "I heard that the Duchess of Zhenguo is a person who loves Lan, and she should like these four Kang screens of Chunlan Turui." ”

In her early years, in order to provide for her husband to study and support her children, Mrs. Wei embroidered all day long, and fell into a body of problems. My waist, shoulders, and neck are often sore, and my eyes can't see clearly.

The family now feels sorry for her and won't let her touch the needlework. But she is an idle person, and her family can't resist her, so she only embroiders for half an hour every day when the light is sufficient. These four double-sided kang screens took her more than half a year to complete.

Wei Zixuan said reluctantly: "This kang screen, my mother has spent so much time and effort, and it can be called the pinnacle of your embroidery art, so let's stay." Or...... I embroidered a picture of a hundred butterflies wearing a floral skirt and gave it to Sister Ye'er. ”

"Silly girl, Miss Chu is two years younger than you, can she wear your dress?" Madame Wei glared at her in disgust, unfolded the four double-sided embroideries, and approached the lamp to examine them carefully.

Wei Zixuan thought of Miss Chu's petite figure, her height followed her mother's parents, and she was short among the little sisters. But Miss Chu may not have grown yet, and she is half a head shorter than her. Her dress, worn on Miss Chu, is estimated to be stepped on under her feet.

"Originally, these four double-sided embroideries of Chunlan Turui were intended to be inlaid into the kang screen when you got married, and carried into your husband's house as a dowry...... However, your family affairs have not yet been decided, and my mother has time, so I will help you embroider a more festive and lively one! ”

Mrs. Wei looked at her daughter's beautiful face, with the Wei family's family background, she never thought of climbing the princes and nobles in the past. But if you choose a student from a poor family, you are afraid that your daughter will follow her own old path and work hard all her life. It is better to marry someone who has little property and do not have to worry about the livelihood of the family.

"Mother......" Wei Zixuan lowered her head shyly. She is also very confused in her heart, and she doesn't know what kind of temperament the person who will be tied to her for life in the future.

My mother once asked her, what kind of marriage do you want to marry? She had thought about it too seriously. In fact, her requirements are not high, as long as she can be like her father and mother, she is single-minded, even if life is difficult, she is willing.

However, even the farmers in the suburbs of Beijing, who are getting better and have received a few more buckets of grain, want to pawn a concubine and come back and enjoy the blessings of all people. A lifetime of a couple, although it is tightly seven words, but it is so far away.

At this time, the Chu family's family motto of "only concubines can be accepted if they have no children at forty" flashed in her mind, and she was quickly thrown away soberly. How can someone like Zhenguo Gong be able to climb up to the top of ordinary people? Look at the daughter-in-law who has been selected, either the county lord, or the lady of the Hou Mansion, or the daughter of the first assistant, she is just a little daughter of the imperial history, don't think about it!

However, the long and elegant figure looks thin but powerful...... Wei Zixuan shook her head vigorously, shaking off the extravagant hopes that she shouldn't have in her heart. That kind of person is an existence that she can only look up to from afar.

The next day, Mrs. Jun was on her daughter's glass balcony, happily trying on the scarf her daughter had given her. She looked at the glass mirror, looked left and right, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and kept praising her daughter for her ingenuity and filial piety.

She saw that while chatting with herself, she didn't forget to weave the scarf with her fingers flying, and said with some distress: "Bao'er, you don't have to knit it before the year." Just give you two grandpas and daddy to weave, those stinky boys, leave them alone. If you want a scarf, let their future daughter-in-law knit it for them! Come, take a break, eat some fruit, and don't get tired. ”

"Mother, I'm not tired! Don't worry, I'll do my best and won't tire myself out. When I'm done knitting the scarves of my two grandfathers, I'll knit you a pair of gloves and a pair of woolen socks. Listening to Daddy, your hands and feet are always cold in winter, wearing your daughter's love brand gloves and wool socks will definitely warm your heart. Gu Ye opened his mouth to catch the honeydew melon that his mother brought to his mouth, and his mouth was as sweet as honey.

Jun Shi listened to the sweetness and warmth in her heart, and she advised: "You weave slowly, don't worry, you were seriously injured a while ago, remember to work hard." ”

"Mother, do you see me lying in a rocking chair, basking in the warm sun, just moving my fingers, then it can tire me? Mother, you're too used to me. What if you spoil me? Gu Ye finished being coquettish, and deliberately sighed deeply.
