Chapter 154: Nothing to do
The twilight clouds are everywhere, and the sound of the painting horn is like a mournful hong, and it resounds sadly through the dusk.
The cold and tight west wind drilled straight into the neckline and cuffs of the person, Chunjiao couldn't help but shrink her neck, and subconsciously tightened her sleeves.
Wei Yining is not as afraid of the cold as her, she is used to the strange cold of Lao Linghe, not to mention the late autumn in the capital.
It was already dark very early in September, and Wei Yining went to Mrs. Zhu to say goodbye after dinner.
Wei Yimi is very quiet these days, just like when Wei Yining first entered the mansion.
Her attitude towards Wei Yining is a little closer than before, but she is always in moderation, and she will take the initiative to show favor to Wei Yining, but if she is too close, she can't help but show resistance.
Wei Yining felt that she was very hard, as if she hated a certain food, but she had to pretend to like it, but once she was really allowed to eat it, she would frown uncontrollably and hold her breath, and then push it away.
For example, just now, after having dinner together at Bao's side, Wei Yining deliberately invited her to greet her grandmother together.
Wei Yimi promised to be good, but asked her maid Chuncao to go back to the room to get her a cloak, and used this excuse to fall behind.
Of course, Wei Yining didn't care what kind of attitude she had towards her, she deliberately got close to Wei Yimi, just to paralyze the other party.
Let Wei Yimi think that she is just an ignorant country girl.
In Wei Yining's view, pretending to be stupid is a particularly useful means, a hundred times smarter than showing intelligence everywhere.
It can not only hide your strength well, but also easily make the opponent underestimate yourself, so that the opponent will be defeated at the moment of the real confrontation.
Wei Yining is very good at pretending to be stupid.
Mrs. Zhu is an elderly person, so she is particularly afraid of the cold, and a charcoal basin is placed in the house.
The smoke cage was burning with fine silver frost charcoal, and Ruyi added a large handful of Su Hexiang to it.
As soon as Wei Yining entered the house, he immediately felt warm and fragrant around him, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's still the old lady who will enjoy it, I'll stay a little longer today, and give my clothes a good incense." ”
Mrs. Zhu was happy when she saw her, and said, "Since you like this house, why don't you also move here and sleep next to the smoked cage, so as to save them the trouble of going to night for them." ”
Wei Yining naturally knew that the old lady was joking with her, so she continued: "I am willing, but I am afraid that Sister Ruyi will be unhappy." Slept until midnight and kicked me out, thinking that I had taken a good place for her. ”
Ruyi also smiled when she heard this, and said: "Fifth girl, it's better to be like this, I'm asleep next to the smokehouse, you just go to the top of the smokehouse, the heat goes up, and I am sure to smoke you to the fullest." ”
A few people were talking and laughing, Wei Yimi and the pair of twin daughters also walked in, and the last one to come in with the curtain was Wei Changan.
Hearing that the room was so lively, the few people who came in later also had smiles on their faces, although they had other feelings in each other's hearts, but they all did a lot of drama on the face.
Wei Yining couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in just a few months, the acting skills of these people have improved significantly.
When Mrs. Zhu gossiped, everyone got up and retired.
Because every year at this time, the old lady has to eat some health medicine, so she rests early.
Wei Yining also stood up, and Mrs. Zhu stopped her and said, "Five girls, wait a minute." ”
Wei Yimi and the others had long known that Mrs. Zhu favored Wei Yining, so they didn't bother to eat this vinegar.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Wei Yining asked Mrs. Zhu: "I don't know what my grandmother told me to stay alone?" ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled lovingly: "It's not a big deal, but I think it's cold, so I ask Ruyi to choose a few good skins for you, your needlework is good, make a cloak yourself!" Ask the people under your head to do it, although you save more trouble, but you are afraid that they will not do it well, but they will waste things in vain. ”
When the old lady spoke, Ruyi had already brought a purple flower bag over, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a few fine silver mink skins.
Wei Yining took it with a smile, thanked her, and said, "When the granddaughter is done, she must wear it to kowtow to her grandmother to thank her." ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled: "That's you, I'm willing, it's not too early, go back and rest!" If you don't have the right ingredients for it, come to my house and find it. I gave all the skins, and the material is not bad, if it is not decent, don't think about what I will give you in the future. ”
Wei Yining knew that the old lady was afraid of her politeness, and she really loved her, and said: "Don't worry, old lady, didn't Sun Dasheng say 'I'd rather have one family than ten families'?" I'm kind of dependent on your old man, who told you to have so many treasures. ”
Wei Yining led the old lady to laugh again, and then came out.
Out of Mrs. Zhu's courtyard, and walked a few steps forward, there was a person standing on Shitai Street, it was dark at that time, but Wei Yining's eyesight was excellent, and it was Wei Changan from the outline of the silhouette.
When the other party saw Wei Yining, he immediately came down from the steps and said, "Fifth sister, I'm going out for a walk tomorrow, I don't know if you have anything I need to bring?" ”
The children in the capital often buy things for their sisters when they go shopping, after all, it is not convenient for the female dependents to go out.
There is nothing strange about this matter itself, but it is a little unusual to say it from Wei Chang'an's mouth.
Wei Yining's days in the mansion are not short, but Wei Changan has never regarded her as a person, and in his eyes, Wei Yining is no different from the cats and dogs in the mansion.
Why did you wait for Wei Yining in the cold wind tonight and take the initiative to be courteous?
Chunjiao was holding a sheep's horn lantern in her hand, and in the dim light, Wei Chang'an's expression was three points of courtesy, five points of care, and even two apprehensions.
If a careless person sees it, it will inevitably look like an eldest brother.
But Wei Yining was unmoved, looking at the pale white pockmarks on his forehead, her heart felt a pang, seeing this always reminded her of her brother Wei Fuan, who died early.
It's just that she is used to restraining her mood, and her joy and anger are not obvious, Wei Chang'an just feels that her expression is stagnant, and she can't detect Wei Yining's true emotions at all.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wei Changan couldn't help but rub his stiff hands, and continued to ask, "What do you lack?" Rouge gouache and plaything jewelry, tell me, and I will help you buy it back tomorrow. ”
"Brother Chang'an," Wei Yining looked at him with a pure face, with a hint of inquiry in the depths of his eyes: "Why are you so good to me all of a sudden?" ”
Wei Changan was a little embarrassed by her, and Wei Yining's attitude made him very uncomfortable.
Take the initiative to show goodwill, shouldn't this girl who has never seen the world be overwhelmed and flattered?
I even have to ask myself why!
"I'm thinking that since you entered the mansion, I haven't fulfilled my brother's responsibilities," Wei Chang'an couldn't help but fake cough a few times in order to relieve the embarrassment: "So just-"
"Then thank you, but I don't lack anything," Wei Yining interrupted him: "Why don't you go and ask the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister." ”
Wei Changan definitely didn't have a good heart, Wei Yining was convinced of this.
She had to go back to school, and she didn't have time to waste on this ill-intentioned straw bale.
Wei Changan looked at Wei Yining, who was leaving, and didn't know whether he should scold or laugh.
