Chapter Forty-Seven: Nothing to Do
Wei Cai'er took a sip of tea and said in a weird way: "Yo! Look at what the second sister said, my mother is busy with the Wei Mansion, since the death of my father, the affairs of the entire Wei Mansion have not fallen to the mother herself, and I finally picked a free time, and it is rare to have the opportunity to go out for a walk and relax. ”
Wei Cai'er glanced at Wei Mengmeng and continued: "When it comes to the second sister's mouth, it should not be, co-author, my mother should be a cow and a horse for the rest of her life?" ”
"You, I, I didn't mean that." Wei Mengmeng was blocked by a sentence and said no, not to say it, it was like swallowing a mouthful of coptis, there was bitterness and couldn't be said, the chopsticks pinched and pinched in his hand, and he had to look at Wei Caier angrily for a long time.
"Cai'er, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xiuyue glared at her, "I did these things for the Wei Mansion, I didn't ask for anything in return, I just wanted Xiaobao to grow up peacefully." ”
Shen put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Wei Cai'er, and said in a timely manner: "Cai'er, you don't have to say too much, since the eldest brother died, this matter in the Wei Mansion, except for the Yulu in her arms every month, I haven't seen my sister-in-law do anything for the Wei Mansion." ”
"That's what my brother and sister said." Liu Xiuyue nodded kindly and said, "I haven't done anything in this Wei Mansion. ”
Shen Shi was stunned, when she said this, it was her own fault, but she was careful about it, she paused, and continued: "Although Xiaobao is injured now, there is no need to make a big fuss, Xiaobao also said that he is okay just now. ”
When Liu Xiuyue heard this, the handkerchief in her hand was wiped to the corner of her eyes, and her voice was low and choked, but she didn't speak.
"The second aunt's words are not right." Wei Cai'er got up from the chair and pulled Xiaobao's sleeve, a piece of cyan on her immature arm was particularly eye-catching, "Xiaobao is not your own child, you can say that, if it was the second sister who was injured today, you wouldn't be so calm and relaxed, and according to your temper, you won't tear over this roof." ”
"Cai'er, did you talk to the elders like that?" Liu Xiuyue raised her head from her handkerchief and reprimanded her.
Wei Cai'er was not afraid at all, and continued: "You all pretend that the prime minister has the strength to support the boat in his belly, but Xiaobao is my own brother, and I can't pretend to be that righteous and Ling Ran. ”
Old General Wei frowned, tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Not what I'm going to do, grandpa." Wei Cai'er held Xiaobao's delicate arm with one hand, touched his head with the other, and said in a choked voice: "This is my younger brother, grandpa, the eldest sister took Xiaobao out to play like this today, so what about in the future?" Do you want to come back with an injury, do you want to come back with a missing arm and leg? ”
"Sister, I'm fine, I accidentally beat Xiao Qi to tears first......" Xiao Bao raised his face at the table, and was interrupted by Wei Cai'er before he finished speaking, "Don't speak." ”
"You're going too far." The speed of General Wei's fingers hitting the table is getting faster and faster, this Wei family, big and small, knows a quirk of General Wei, if the speed of this finger hitting the table is getting faster and faster, it means that his patience will also be exhausted, he continued to say in a deep voice: "Xiaobao is a man's family, our Wei family is still a hairpin family, all of them are generals who can go on the field to kill the enemy, but it's just a little fight, you are always used to him like this, how can he go to the battlefield in the future?" ”
"If you want to go to the battlefield, you have to be safe and sound, if you are missing an arm......" Wei Cai'er didn't seem to see the fingers of General Wei knocking faster and faster.
"You, what did you say?" General Wei's few patience was finally exhausted, and his palm slapped on the tabletop, making a "bang" sound, and the people in the room suddenly quieted, only the porcelain was still trembling slightly on the table and making a crisp sound.
"What I said is also for Xiaobao." Wei Cai'er grabbed Xiaobao on the side tightly, took a deep breath, and continued: "Originally, children were playing together, and it was inevitable that there would be those who missed or didn't know the severity, but those children were orphans in the countryside and had no upbringing, and they didn't know how to be gentlemen, but they were just some rural husband......s.
General Wei was stunned, and she continued: "Daddy was killed by the villain when he died, and only Xiaobao was left as a single seedling......
General Wei's palms trembled slightly, he sat on the chair behind him as if deflated, raised his head to look at Xiao Bao who was frightened and hid at the table, his eyebrows and eyes were indeed like his dead son, and sighed, Old General Wei seemed to age a lot in an instant with that breath.
Wei Yun sat quietly at the table from beginning to end with a slight frown, Wei Cai'er saw that she looked unfazed, her eyes sharpened a little, gritted her teeth and continued: "It's just that the eldest sister obviously knows so many noble young women, but she wants to take him to play with that group of wild children who have no father and no mother, if something goes wrong, that group of children can afford it?" Our Xiaobao is the son of the Wei family, no matter how much the price drops, he will not be beaten by that group of wild seeds who have no one to raise! ”
Wei Cai'er saw that Wei Yun was still angry, and she continued: "I don't know what eldest sister An's heart is. ”
Wei Meng dreamed that Wei Yun didn't speak, and thought that Wei Cai'er had hurt her heart, so she hurriedly said, "Third Miss, what are you talking about?" Where is the eldest sister like that, you and I obviously see it in our eyes, how good she is to Bao'er on weekdays, as for the group of children who are also raised in an orphanage, why is it a wild seed that no one raises? ”
Liu Xiuyue, who had been wiping her tears, couldn't help but say at this time: "Second Miss, have you been to that orphanage?" Can you learn about the behavior of those orphans? Second Miss, can you think that those orphans have been taught them gentlemanly manners? ”
Wei Mengmeng was speechless when asked, and said in a daze: "After all, it is a child, and the heart will not be ......."
"Won't it break?" Liu Xiuyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I think people are bad, but for Xiaobao, I have to take all the dangers into account......"
"Then why do you want to go out to fight horses and hang them, and you can't stay at home with Xiaobao?" Wei Mengmeng asked this sentence in a daze, not that she was aggressive, but that she really wanted to know, and kept talking about how Xiaobao was, how about Xiaobao, but no one did it, which made her very angry.
"This ...... This ......" Liu Xiuyue pinched her handkerchief and was stunned, her fingers were hidden in her sleeves and pinched the handkerchief, "I went out during the day, the second miss is not Xiaobao's sister, you can say such words that punish my heart, this is the matter of the big house, the second brother and younger siblings didn't speak, you junior is in a hurry to find a scene?" ”
She continued: "It's not that my aunt said you, you are also the young lady of the Wei family after all, don't learn so much." I know that you like your eldest sister, and you have to follow her in everything, but your eldest sister is the eldest lady of the Wei family, and she has done a lot of things in this way, how can you marry in the future? ”
Wei Mengmeng was told by this, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and grievances were written on his face like two words.
Shen is a face-saving person, not to mention that Wei Mengmeng is a treasure in his hand, she has never been wronged since she was a child, looking at the tears rolling in her eyes, her heart was suddenly unhappy, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it, whether we can marry someone in Mengmeng is our second room's own business, sister-in-law still thinks more about Cai'er, after all, the incident that happened to my sister-in-law a few days ago has more or less an impact on Cai'er's reputation." ”
The reputation of the women's family is more expensive than gold, and all the girls in the capital attach great importance to their own eyebrows.
"You, you ......" Liu Xiuyue trembled angrily, and Wei Yun interrupted before the words came out.
"Mother should have said enough of all that, right?" Wei Yun got up from the chair, "Since you want to say it, then I will talk to you about it, Xiaobao is my younger brother, although he was born to a half-father, but I also treat him like a brother, as for what the third lady said I mean for him, I think he was born from the same bud as me." ”
She paused, met the eyes of the old general Wei, and continued: "Xiaobao has a good temperament and is not more than the third lady's heart, so I let him make his own ideas in everything, let him have more of his own ideas, so as not to read dead books, in the end Xiaobao is the successor of the Wei family in the future, I think I can't let him soak in the women's pile from time to time and lose knowledge, so I will take him out to take a walk and see, and also see how the poor live their lives, so that they can learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace."
She glanced around, and finally stopped at Wei Cai'er, "As for what the third miss said, those children are rural orphans who don't understand the etiquette of a gentleman, and the third miss is wrong, although that group of children is in an orphanage, they are also raised by the Lin family, not only have they set up a school, but those children are also teachable people, and they will never do anything like the third miss to take the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
"You ......" Wei Cai'er looked at her angrily.
Wei Yun ignored her and continued: "The second miss was taught very well by the second aunt, she knows etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat, although she is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not inferior to any girl in the capital, you can't open your mouth and close your mouth on the stage, say this Second Miss, I don't know and think you are a vicious aunt, you are still ......"
She paused, looked at Wei Cai'er, and said, "Accumulate some blessings for yourself." ”
Liu Xiuyue frowned tightly, and just wanted to open her mouth to scold back, Wei Ziwen coughed lightly, just now his daughter Wei Mengmeng was insulted like that, and he couldn't bear it for a long time, at this time his breath interrupted her and said: "Sister-in-law, this matter is over like this, I don't think Xiaobao is seriously injured, in the end, he is also a boy, Meng'er also has a good relationship with Yun'er to contradict her sister-in-law, as for Yun'er, she must be very wronged in her heart, so forget it." ”
He glanced at Wei Yun, "Yun'er, you help your grandfather to rest." ”
Wei Yun helped General Wei all the way towards the courtyard, along the way, General Wei wanted to speak several times but finally only sighed, Wei Yun chuckled lightly and said: "Grandpa, you don't need to say it, I understand, you don't have to worry, how to say that she is also my nominal mother now, Xiaobao was also born to her, I know how to do it." ”
Old General Wei nodded and put his mind at ease, "It's cold in the morning and evening, you should go back early to rest." ”
