Text Chapter 60: Aftermath 4
"The fifth sister thought too much, grandmother didn't mean it just now," Wei Man said slowly: "You were a little distracted, so you didn't notice it, but I saw it clearly from the side, after the fifth sister was almost injured, grandmother looked at the fifth sister worriedly for a long time......"
"Really, really?" Wei Yun's eyes widened, and she asked suspiciously, "Grandmother, grandmother, does she care about me......
"My sister can still deceive my fifth sister, you are my grandmother's own granddaughter, and my grandmother naturally cares about you!" Wei Man explained seriously: "...... When the fifth sister heard that her father didn't go back to the house for the New Year, didn't she cry uncontrollably? Not to mention my grandmother, who is an old man...... So, my grandmother was just so angry with my father that she lost control...... Besides, that teacup was supposed to be smashed at my sister, but ah, I dodged quickly, so it rushed to you, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and pulled the fifth sister in time, otherwise, my sister would have been injured today because of my sister's negligence......"
Wei Yun's face showed a confused look.
Wei Man couldn't help laughing, the situation was urgent, and Wei Yun had always been in a state of distraction, how could she notice the details at that time.
Wei Man said a few more nonsense, although Wei Yun was still skeptical, but the look on her face was much more relaxed.
I was about to enter the three-room courtyard group.
Wei Man glanced back and saw that Swift and Miao Yan were chatting lively.
"Fifth sister, tell the third sister honestly, did you encounter something in the morning?" Wei Man asked in confusion: "You are very punctual to greet your grandmother, why did you come so late today?" ”
"No, nothing happened...... Wei Yun's gaze was a little evasive, and she murmured, "Yes, it's me, I'm up late......"
"Got up late?" Wei Man frowned slightly, and read with some doubts: "How come?" ”
There are a lot of maids and wives in Yuyun Building, and they almost let their own young lady sleep past the hour of asking for peace?
"Didn't the maids call the fifth sister on time?" Wei Man stopped, clenched the cold little hand in her hand tighter, she looked at Wei Yun's eyes, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "Fifth sister, I know that the maids and daughters in your Yuyun Building are all people who have been rewarded by your grandmother, and on weekdays, you take into account that they are the people who have served your grandmother, so you have a lot of respect for them, but, fifth sister, you have to remember that you are the young lady of Zhenguo Houfu and their master......"
Wei Yun didn't seem to expect Wei Man to say these words to her, and for a while, her expression was very stunned.
"It's okay to forget the past, but now you're a ten-year-old girl," Wei Man said seriously: "Fifth sister, now, it's time for you to sort out the slaves and maids around you...... You keep those who are obedient, and if there are those slaves who dare to rely on their qualifications and put on a score in front of you, you should immediately drive them out...... If it's inconvenient for you to deal with them, go to Mother Tao or Mother Wu in Xiyuan...... You can rest assured, no matter how much the slave was favored by the grandmother back then, she was just a slave and maid, and the grandmother would definitely not be able to tolerate the slave who dared to bully the master, and when the time came, her old man would definitely be the master of the fifth sister......"
"No, no, no...... How could the third sister say that," Wei Yun shook her head in a panic, and while carefully peeking at the wonderful words behind her, she explained to Wei Man: "The maids in my yard are all very dedicated people, really, they serve well...... It's me in the morning, it's me who sleeps too deeply, they call, they call me many times, it's me, it's me who sleeps too deeply......"
During the time of Wei Yun's confession, Swift and Miao Yan both noticed the change in the atmosphere between the masters and came forward together.
"Miss, this is ......" Miao Yan glanced at Wei Yun who looked flustered, and after a little hesitation, she hurriedly stood by Wei Yun's side.
"Miss Three, don't be angry." Miao Yan first respectfully gave a blessing to Wei Man, then raised his head and said with a flattering smile: "My young lady is young, and sometimes it is a little inappropriate to speak, but the third lady has always taken good care of my young lady, you know, although my young lady is not very good at talking, but the young lady's heart is very sincere...... If my young lady says something that makes the third miss unhappy, please don't take it to heart......"
Wei Man didn't expect that the seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid in front of him, with a beautiful face and a somewhat presumptuous expression, was quite protective of Wei Yun's master.
"You ......" Wei Man paused for a moment and said, "It's called Wonderful Words, right?" ”
"Hey! Yes, the slave maid is Miaoyan," Miaoyan made a blessing to Wei Man again, looked very honored, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the third lady to remember the name of the slave maid." ”
Everyone in the house knows that Weiman forgot a lot of things after he recovered from his illness.
"I often hear the fifth sister talk about you," Wei Man said with a smile, "Speaking of the wonderful words around her, she is the most powerful person in her room." ”
"This, Miss exaggerated ......" Miao Yan glanced at Wei Yun, who was silent, her eyes flashed, and she said a little embarrassed: "The slave maid just did her duty, where can I get the praise of the third miss and the young lady......"
"The fifth sister said that you deserve it, and you naturally deserve it." Wei Man sighed slightly and said, "It's just that Fifth Miss is young and weak, so you have to be more attentive than ordinary maids...... Since the beginning of winter, I have heard that my fifth sister has caught a cold three times...... In today's cold weather, you should have a stove for the young lady...... You are the eldest girl in Yuyun Building, and the most trusted person of the fifth sister, in the future, you will have to work harder. ”
Wei Yun glanced at Miao Yan with a little pale face, and hugged the stove in her hand tightly.
"This, slave maid, slave maid will pay attention, in the future, slave maid will definitely serve Miss more attentively......" Miao Yan glanced at the delicate small stove held by Wei Yun in her hand, her face was a little red, she seemed to be very ashamed, and her voice murmured: "My young lady is very good everywhere, but she is not very stable when she sleeps, this, the quilt that has just been covered, and I will look at it again in a while, and Miss will kick far away...... When the other sisters were keeping vigil, the slave told them to get up at least every half an hour to check whether the lady's quilt was in order, and it was the slave and maid's turn to keep vigil, and the slave and maid stayed at the feet of my young lady all night......"
Wei Man narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Yun.
"Yes! Be! Be! Wei Yun nodded hurriedly, and said continuously: "It's me who sleeps too unsteadily, it's me, always kicking the quilt......"
Wei Man's mind turned slightly, if Wei Yun and the wonderful words were true, then the wonderful words in front of him were really a dedicated slave.
According to Xia Lan's report, Miao Yan's mother is the little steward in the kitchen of Xiyuan, and her father is also a powerful subordinate in the outer courtyard, and the family is considered to have some face among the children in the house.
Miao Yan has been serving by Wei Yun's side since he was ten years old, and he has always been the big girl in Yu Yun Lou, Xia Lan even said that in Yu Yun Lou, what Miao Yan said is sometimes more effective than Wei Yun......
Wei Man couldn't help but look at Wei Yun and Miao Yan's demeanor, she remembered clearly that when Wei Yun trotted into Xi Yuan, there was no maid behind her, and Miao Yan was only seen when they left the inner room......
Something must have happened in Yuyun Building this morning, but Wei Yun didn't want to make a public announcement.
That's it, Wei Man sighed in her heart, although Miao Yan said that she was a little overstepping in her actions, but at least the Miao Yan she saw was very protective of Wei Yun's master, and Wei Yun looked very dependent on Miao Yan, besides, what happened in Yu Yun Lou, she was an uninformed person after all, judging by conjecture alone, those things she thought were not good, maybe, Wei Yun felt very good, not to mention, Wei Man smiled bitterly, she herself is also a person who is difficult to protect, where does she have the energy to take care of the idle things in other people's rooms......
The group entered the courtyard of the third room.
Wei Man raised his eyes slightly, but saw Wei Feng, who had already left, sitting on the viewing platform not far away and watching them.
Seeing Wei Man and his party, Wei Feng got up, Shi Shiran stepped down the steps and walked over.
"Third sister, I, I'll go back first." When Wei Yun saw Wei Feng, her face changed, and she hurriedly wanted to leave.
"yes, okay." Wei Man also knew that Wei Yun was unwilling to stay with Wei Feng, he smiled and refused the stove handed over by Wei Yun, helped her cover her cloak, and said, "I'm not cold, you live far away, just take this and use it first, and return it to me next time." ”
Wei Yun hesitated slightly, then nodded, saluted Wei Feng, who had already greeted her, and left in a hurry.
"I'm really envious of the fifth sister......" Wei Feng looked at Wei Yun's departing back, and sighed in a somewhat ethereal tone: "When I was my age like the fifth sister, my sister also greeted me with warmth and caring......"
Wei Man's eyes flickered, and he thought, did Wei Man in the past turn out to be such a good sister?
"In that case......" Wei Man smiled, "Then why should the fourth sister envy the fifth sister?" ”
"Sister, do you remember?" Wei Feng ignored Wei Man's question, she turned her head to look at Wei Man's eyes, and said with a slight smile: "At that time, my sister really didn't understand anything......
As if thinking of something funny, Wei Feng's face showed a sarcastic smile, and he quickly disappeared, sighing: "Because I am a concubine, every time I go to a banquet with my sister, the ladies in other mansions always bully my sister...... However, at that time, my sister was not afraid at all, because my sister knew that my sister was by my side, and my sister would definitely help me......"
It seems that the former Weiman was really a good sister who was conscientious.
It's just that......
"Four Sisters......
Wei Man shook his head and smiled bitterly, interrupting Wei Yun's words.
