The last thing the children of the Wei family like to do is to go to Mrs. Zhu to say goodbye, but they have to settle down every morning and dusk.

Mrs. Zhu is very old and often sick, so her temperament is very strict.

Wei Yimi and the others are very afraid of her, and if they often make a little mistake in her eyes, they will inevitably apply for it.

Although she is not Wei Zongyong's biological mother, her mother's Renyong Mansion has a prominent status.

Mrs. Zhu's own son Wei Zongfeng died early, and only one daughter grew up, married to Shao Tianzi, the second son of Duke Qinyong, and is now a marquise, and now the family is in Meizhou.

Not to mention that although she is the step-family of her husband Wei Xun, she has done her best to raise her daughter Yujue, who was born to the Yan family.

Wei Yujue is married to Qiao Cunyuan, the second son of King Pingnan, whose identity is equivalent to that of a princess, and has always been filial and affectionate to Mrs. Zhu, as if she were her biological mother.

Although Wei Zongyong also has the title of Duke Zhiyong, his actual position is only a member of the Criminal Department, and he cannot be compared with the Shao family and the Qiao family.

Therefore, the Bao family and his wife have always been like offering to Mrs. Zhu as a Buddha, and they dare not neglect it in the slightest.

A few people walked into the old lady's yard, several mothers-in-law were pruning the flowers and trees in the yard, and two girls were watering the flowers.

Seeing that several young ladies had arrived, everyone stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to say goodbye.

Two and a half big maidens greeted them, raised the multicolored soft satin curtains, and waited for everyone to enter the room before they put them down again.

Wei Yi quietly looked at the decoration in the house, and there was not much change from eight years ago.

It is still a mirrored ebony table, a chair with a swastika pattern inlaid with red sandalwood inlaid with Shoushan stone carvings, and a purple nan couch is installed in the center, on which a pine flower-colored elastic ink backrest and pillow are placed.

By the window, there is a small table full of grape gall wood, on which is placed a goose incense burner, burning sweet pine incense, cool and refreshing.

Wei Yimi's several people sat in order, and Mrs. Zhu was still in the inner room and did not come out.

I only heard the sound of coughing and spoons inside, probably the old lady taking medicine.

After a while, the curtain in the middle moved, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid came out, with big eyes and thin lips, and a short figure.

She is the most powerful maid Ruyi beside Mrs. Zhu, she has served Mrs. Zhu for five or six years, and she has more face than Wei Yimi and other granddaughters in front of the old lady!

Since the family with status in Da Zhou, the subordinates who have always served the elders are more decent than the young masters, so Wei Yimi and others call Ruyi her sister.

"The old lady just took the medicine, and she came after eating a piece of candied fruit." Ruyi smiled and said, "A few young ladies don't stay." ”

He deliberately walked up to Wei Yining to say goodbye, and said, "Hello fifth girl, the old lady rested early yesterday, and she got up early today to talk about it!" said that you must have become a big girl, and now it looks true. ”

Wei Yining got up to return the salute and asked a few words about the old lady's diet and daily life.

She knew that Mrs. Zhu might not really miss herself, but this girl was mellow and didn't leak anything.

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Zhu came out.

Silver hair and wrinkled face.

Wearing a black poplin placket jacket and a green lotus-colored iron yarn skirt, he is holding a bamboo crutch in his right hand and a little girl in his left hand.

is much older than the grandmother in Wei Yining's memory.

Ruyi turned around and helped Mrs. Zhu to sit firmly on the couch, and Wei Yimi led several granddaughters to say hello together.

Because Wei Yining met for the first time, he stepped forward alone to ask for peace.

Although Wei Yiwan was not there at this time, Mrs. Zhu didn't care.

Wei Yiwan is usually weak and lazy, and she is sick at the end of three days and does not come to ask for peace, and the old lady is used to it, so she doesn't ask.

Wei Yi Room Wei Yi Jia The twin girls were afraid to mention this pot, and they were secretly glad to see that the old lady didn't ask.

Otherwise, the two of them will inevitably be reprimanded when they talk.

Wei Yining still has feelings for this grandmother, her father Wei Zongzhao was not married yet, and her biological mother Qi passed away.

Later, when her husband Wei Xun died, Mrs. Zhu needed to succeed a son, because her own son Zong Feng died early, and the Wei family had no son-in-law.

Mrs. Zhu chose the loyal Wei Zongzhao, which disappointed Wei Zongyong's hopes for fame and fortune.

At that time, Mrs. Zhu's favorite child was Wei Yining's brother Wei Fuan, and she also got along well with her daughter-in-law Wang.

Later, Wei Zongzhao committed a major crime, and Mrs. Zhu was angry and painful, and fell seriously ill, and her health has not been good ever since.

Most of the sick people are anxious and irritable, and now that her daughter A Luan is not in front of her, the old lady's temper is even worse.

Wei Yining invited An to stand aside, the old lady sighed and said: "You have been there for eight or nine years, and you have never written a letter to me. ”

Wei Yi listened to Mrs. Zhu's words quietly, and her mind was full of thoughts.

For so many years, their family has been working hard in Lao Linghe, and although they are poor, their parents have never forgotten their filial piety.

Although there is nothing precious to honor, every year my father would go to the mountains to collect some medicinal herbs, and my mother would also pick up some wild mushrooms and game with the local women to dry into dried vegetables.

These native products will be sent to the capital every three months with letters, and even after Wei Yining can hunt, he and the old patriarch Lagu Dad and others caught the White Wolf King, and Lagu Dad gave Wei Yining the skin of the white wolf after cooking.

Wei Zongzhao was very happy at that time, saying that Mrs. Zhu had a problem with cold weather and leg pain, and it was the warmest to make a mattress from this wolf skin.

However, now listening to Mrs. Zhu say this, it is obvious that these things and letters have not been delivered to Mrs. Zhu at all.

But Wei Yining was not surprised, before this, no one in the Wei family had ever communicated with them, and they had not even asked about the burial of Wei Zong and the Wang family.

Wei Yining knew in his heart that all these actions were to completely isolate the relationship between Wei Zongzhao and the Wei family.

Now she is an orphan girl like a wanderer, and if she wants to take root in this mansion, she must find a powerful backer.

Looking at the whole house, Mrs. Zhu is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

However, in the current situation, Mrs. Zhu has a deep misunderstanding of her family, and she already has a mustard, and she has just arrived, and there are Wei Yimi and others by her side, so it is not good to confess immediately, so as not to alarm Wei Zongyong and the Bao family, and it will be a big deal.

Therefore, Wei Yining just apologized and said: "My father made a big mistake and regretted it all the time, claiming that he had no face to face his grandmother and ancestors.

In addition, there have been sorrows and joys over the years, and my father can't cry every time he lifts the pen, and he can't write it.

Even so, after all, there is a loss of filial piety, and I dare not ask my grandmother for forgiveness, I just ask you not to hurt your body for this. ”

Mrs. Zhu listened to Wei Yining's words, and was silent for a long time, but only sighed deeply at the end.
