Chapter 10: Storytelling
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Zhu said in a stern tone.
Although she couldn't get to know as a junior, she was unhappy after all and didn't want to deal with Wei Yining anymore.
She didn't want to hear her explain even more, and the more she explained, the more upset she became.
Wei Yining walked up to the old lady, squatted down slightly, and raised her eyes.
Because the head is slightly raised, a pair of black and white eyes are revealed, and the eyes are like ink-colored pearls and jade sinking under the water.
Mrs. Zhu made eye contact with her, and the anger in her heart actually calmed down a little after seeing such a pair of eyes, and did not continue to attack.
Wei Yining grinned, her glutinous rice teeth flashed with warm pearles, and the face of the cardamom girl was still a little jerky, but it also looked extremely innocent and harmless.
Mrs. Zhu's heart moved, this girl's face was very attractive, but she seemed to be a blessed person.
"Yining visited her grandmother for the first time, but she couldn't get a decent meeting gift, and she was really ashamed," Wei Yining said softly, and said unhurriedly while beating Mrs. Zhu's legs: "I want to tell my grandmother about the customs and experiences of Lao Linghe, and make you smile, and I have the right to meet you." ”
"Then you can tell me!" Mrs. Zhu said in a lazy tone: "But I still have to have breakfast in a while, you can just talk about one." ”
Wei Yining nodded and said: "Lao Linghe was originally inhabited by Hehe people, who lived by fishing and hunting, and would also catch some young animals to bring home to raise, so many families have deer herds.
Whenever a newly caught fawn is released, it takes a long time for it to fit into the herd.
Because the original deer in the deer herd are inevitably bullied, many fawns often die because of the exclusion of the deer herd.
In order to survive, the new fawns will seek refuge from the childless doe in the herd.
Because it knows that it is weak and helpless, and if it does not have the protection of the doe, it will definitely be bullied to death by other deer. ”
Wei Yining's voice was clear and soft, with a calming force.
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Zhu already understood the meaning of her words, so her face softened.
"Although Yining is stupid and blunt, she has not been able to bear the lessons of her grandmother in the past eight years, but she also knows a little bit about the truth related to her own life." Wei Yining said softly: "Yining only hopes for her grandmother's health and longevity, and hopes for her grandmother's Mingjian." ”
Mrs. Zhu listened to Wei Yining's words, now she is like a deer who has just entered the group, Wei Zongyong's daughters are inevitably bullied, coupled with her father's relationship, her situation in this mansion can be imagined.
So as long as she's not too stupid, she should be able to see the situation clearly. In this mansion, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhu is the only one who can be relied on.
Wei Zongyong was not born to Mrs. Zhu, and he was not selected by Mrs. Zhu at the beginning, so it can be seen that he and the old lady were only superficially harmonious.
Both of them know this.
The reason why Wei Zongyong and his wife were respectful to Mrs. Zhu was also out of overall consideration, not really out of filial piety.
And Wei Yining, who is lonely and helpless, has nothing else except for being able to contribute a filial piety.
Even if it is out of selfishness, she must treat Mrs. Zhu wholeheartedly, because only in this way can she survive here and avoid being slaughtered by others.
"I understand what you mean," Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "But my old woman has a strange temperament, and I don't like people who don't vote for my temper, no matter how sincere they are." You go back first! ”
Wei Yining didn't say much, and retreated after saluting, without half a point of unhappiness on his face.
After she left, Ruyi said, "These five girls seem to be sensible. ”
Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "She has a very calm temperament, and she is measured in advance and retreat." ”
Although she didn't accept Wei Yining's surrender right now, she didn't have a bad impression of her.
Wei Yining didn't make a big noise in the face of the dirty water splashed by the twin daughters, nor did she cry and express her feelings, otherwise, whether she was clean or not, it would make Mrs. Zhu feel disgusted.
Even the words she left behind to say alone later were only implicitly pointed out, and the point was over.
It's much better for her to do that than to say it directly.
First, to show that she doesn't want to tear her face with anyone, and simply said that the twin daughters' false accusations against her were "bullying", rather than harboring evil intentions, it can be seen that she is a generous person.
Second, it left a way out for Mrs. Zhu and herself, and if you don't say anything, you will stop at the point, which is the way smart people should talk.
Compared to her, the twin girls seemed bitter and impatient. They framed Wei Yining for being disrespectful to her grandmother, but they didn't want to make her angry if she said it in front of the old lady.
If they were truly filial, how could they do so?
You can report it to Bao for disposal, instead of going to the old lady to talk about it.
Mrs. Zhu has been lazy and idle in recent years, so she has long stopped asking about the affairs of the house.
Now Wei Yining tactfully asked her for help, although Mrs. Zhu did not agree immediately, her mind was active.
What the old man looks forward to most is his children and grandchildren around his knees, but Mrs. Zhu always sighs that she is desolate under her knees.
Although Wei Zongyong has many children, none of them can vote for her. When they saw her, they avoided her like a cat and a mouse, far more afraid than close.
Now there is Wei Yining, she speaks quietly and knows a lot. Although his appearance is not glamorous, Zhou Zheng is dignified and very attractive, and he is the appearance of juniors that the old people like.
Mrs. Zhu still remembers that Wei Yining was so quiet when she was a child, and she had never seen her chirp like other girls.
Her favorite grandson is Wei Fuan, who is smart and very sensible, but unfortunately the child died on the way to exile, and Mrs. Zhu was sad for a long time.
Now she is the only one left in Wei Yining's family of five, which is indeed pitiful.
Mrs. Zhu did not immediately agree to her request, also because this matter could never be decided hastily.
It takes time, but it also takes opportunity.
Wei Yi and Wei Yi didn't even eat breakfast after they went back, so they were punished to go to the ancestral hall and kneel.
Of course, they were unwilling, and at first they imagined that Wei Yining would definitely be reprimanded by Mrs. Zhu, and most of them would come to the ancestral hall to punish them for kneeling.
But the left and right knees were numb, but there was still no shadow of Wei Yining.
Thinking that the punishment he received today was all because of Wei Yining, the resentment in his heart deepened.
The injured Wei Yiwan was even more resentful of Wei Yining, she thought that all the pain she suffered was for Wei Yining, and these pains should have fallen on Wei Yining.
These three people did not reflect on it, precisely because they wanted to calculate Wei Yining, but they made themselves tricked, and they calculated all the accounts on Wei Yining's head.
