Chapter 163: Clues
A few bits of rain fell during the night, and although it only slightly wet the ground, it made the cold heavier, and the ice needles pierced into the bones of people.
Although the brocade tent has been replaced with the gauze tent, people still feel that the pillows are thin.
The custom of Zhaoyi is that no matter what the weather is, except for the house where the elderly live will be heated in September, whether rich or poor, they must wait until October to light a fire to keep warm.
It is also because of this that people are looking forward to October, and although there are no festivals in October, there are more gatherings around the fireplace than at other times.
But such a warm and lively day will have to wait a little longer, and it is now the end of September.
In the depths of the night, a few cold stars flickered, and there was only one hook left in the waning moon.
Wei Yining flashed in lightly, walking silently, like a shadow.
Chunjiao was sleeping soundly at this time when she was sleeping soundly outside the night, Wei Yining gently tucked the quilt for her before entering her own bedroom inside.
Gently burrowing into the quilt and lying in her clothes, she has been guarding Wei Yimi's yard for the past few nights, and heard some clues.
Although these clues were not enough for her to know all of Wei Yimi's plans, she already knew the direction of continuing to explore, and this was enough.
Wei Yining closed his eyes peacefully, and fell asleep after a while.
In two hours, the sky will be light, and no one can tell that he is not in good spirits.
Wei Yimi is serious this time, very meticulous and cautious, Wei Yining has a trace of appreciation for her in her heart, even if Wei Yimi wants to harm herself.
Early the next morning, Wei Yining got up to freshen up.
Chunjiao mixed the water and said, "This water is just right, the girl come and wash it, and it will be cold after a while." ”
The hot water was brought by Xiao She'er from the room, and it was served in a copper kettle, which was the case in every yard, and when the master ran out, it was the turn of the maid below.
"It's good to simply comb a flat bun," Wei Yining sat in front of the makeup mirror and said to Chunjiao: "Anyway, I don't go out at home." ”
"The girl really doesn't like to dress up," Chunjiao said with a small complaint, "It's a pity that you have good hair." ”
"Those complicated buns are too troublesome to comb, and I can't finish them in half an hour, so why bother." Wei Yining smiled and said, "If that's the case, the water will be cold after combing my hair, and you will have to go to the fire room to fetch water again." ”
"What's this, it's just a leg run," Chunjiao disagreed: "Look at the eldest lady and the second lady, their hairstyles are not the same every day, and those who don't know think I'm lazy!" ”
"It's not that you're lazy, it's that I'm too casual," Wei Yining smiled at Chunjiao in the mirror: "It's so bad that you can't show your skills." ”
Chunjiao also smiled and said: "It's usually okay, but if you want to say it, you must listen to my arrangement on your birthday, and you have to comb whatever hair I want to comb for you." ”
"What's this," Wei Yining pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm just sitting for half an hour longer." ”
After finishing her speech, Wei Yining got up and went to greet Mrs. Zhu.
The old man felt less, and Mrs. Zhu also got up early, wearing a rusty red jacket with three inlays and three rolls of poplin, a dark cotton skirt, and three golden hairpins on her gray bun.
Wei Yining secretly compared in her heart, her grandmother was much more energetic and easy-going than when she first returned to the house.
Ruyi was waiting for the old lady to drink ginseng soup, and there was a covered bowl on the brazier rack, which was baked by the heat, and there were wisps of heat.
When Mrs. Zhu saw Wei Yining coming, she beckoned to her: "Five girls, come here, stand at the door and smirk." Before dawn, your little aunt sent someone to bring a box of food, and there was a bowl of mareback cheese in it, which was given to you by Tete, and I called Ruyi Wen on the fire, and this thing will be cold when it is cold. ”
Wei Yining likes to eat milk, and immediately thanked the old lady, Chunjiao took the bowl, and Ruyi took a small silver spoon.
Wei Yining took small bites, the milk was rich and fragrant, chewing carefully and smooth, it was made of the best mare's milk.
Wei Yimi and others also came over to say goodbye, Wei Changan's peach blossom eyes were slightly red, just because he feasted the Feng family brothers yesterday, he inevitably drank a little too much.
He was originally apprehensive, afraid that the Feng brothers would not accept his invitation, or that they would complain about him when they met.
Who would have thought that at the banquet yesterday, these two people didn't mention anything before, and called him brothers, Wei Changan suddenly felt that they had a sense of self-cultivation and affection, and he drank too much in excitement.
A few people accompanied Mrs. Zhu and said a few words, but they were just talking about the weather and greeting the body.
Wei Yimi's smile was soft, and she was neither overly enthusiastic nor cold towards Wei Yining.
She behaved so naturally, Wei Yining felt that she was actually a person with great potential.
She may not be sophisticated enough, but she is still a malleable talent.
If her experience is richer, I am afraid that her achievements will only be above her mother Bao's.
Bao loves his children very much, and he must bow down to everything and talk bitterly, but on the other hand, this is not necessarily a good thing.
Her three children have all been spoiled to have a no-brainer character, but their means and hearts are limited.
Wei Yimi is already considered good, and after getting on the bar with Wei Yining, although he has failed to succeed in repeated strategies, he has been able to become more and more courageous, and he has become more mature every time.
Speaking of which, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and she has been raising a deep boudoir.
is not like Wei Yining, although he is young, he has already tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and has experienced life and death.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, so sit down and go over!" Mrs. Zhu said, "Five girls will eat at my place!" ”
Mrs. Zhu is partial to Wei Yining, and often leaves her to eat in her room.
The others didn't say anything, they were used to it.
"Big sister celebrates Xiao Wuzhang Luo's birthday!" Wei Yijia whispered to Wei Yi's room: "When the Yan family and the Wei family's young ladies come, can we seize the opportunity to get close to them?" ”
"That's what I think, too, but don't be too deliberate then." Wei Yiroom said: "Now the big sisters can often go out of the house to socialize, we don't dare to take a single step, and it is not a way to do this in the long run." ”
They know that they are actually helpless, and even Bao will settle accounts with them sooner or later.
The reason why she hasn't reached out to them until now is only because they are already held in her palm.
But who wants to sit still?
The two of them have already met, and it won't be long before they talk about marriage, which is a major event related to a lifetime.
They also want to have a good relationship with Wei Yining, touch her light, and be able to get closer to the Yan family, maybe there will be unexpected opportunities.
But Wei Yining obviously didn't want to take them, and they couldn't force it.
"You can't blame her for this," Wei Yi's tone was lonely: "She naturally has to plan for herself first, after all, her own situation is not much better than ours." ”
