Text Chapter 96: Meet 2

"I ......" Wei Man hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"What? Let my grandfather guess, or," Old Lady Cheng squinted at Wei Man and said, "You were finally hurt by King Narui, so you don't even want to be involved with that royal family anymore?" ”

Wei Man laughed dryly twice.

"Tell me," Mrs. Cheng rubbed the teacup and said slowly, "What do you think in your heart?" ”

"I ...... In fact...... Actually, I can't remember anything from the past...... I don't know why," Wei Man muttered, "Ever since I fell seriously ill, I have been a little afraid of the palace...... It may be that my life has hung by a thread, and when I wake up again, I always feel that a dull and comfortable day is the best ......"

"Oh? You yearn for plain and comfortable......" Old Lady Cheng's face showed an obscure and complicated look, as if he recalled something, his face was a little sentimental, he paused for a moment, and sighed: "At the beginning, your grandmother was also ...... Your mother said something similar......"

Wei Man raised her eyes to look at the old lady Cheng who was caught in her memories, and suddenly felt that the heroic and cheerful old man in front of her made her feel a little sad, her beloved wife and only daughter left him early, and her only granddaughter was occupied by a wisp of otherworldly soul......

"Grandfather, do you remember your grandmother and mother?" Weiman asked softly.

"Oh!" Old lady Cheng came back to her senses, smiled heartily, and sighed: "When people are old, they like to think back to the past......"

Old lady Cheng is afraid that she is very lonely in her heart, Wei Man thought to herself.

"Grandfather, can you tell Aman about your grandmother and mother?" Wei Man poured a cup of new tea for Mrs. Cheng, and said coquettishly: "What did grandmother like back then......

"Your grandmother," mentioned Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng's face showed a little smile, recalling: "Although your grandmother looks very demure and dignified on the surface, in fact, she is also lively and active on the inside, back then, when I first met her, she was tending to flowers and plants in the garden, carrying a huge shovel, and her face was covered with a lot of ash and I didn't know it......"

Wei Man held his cheeks with his hands, smiled and looked at Mrs. Cheng who was smiling and whispering because of the memories of the past, and was envious of the husband and wife relationship between Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng on the one hand, and felt sorry for the grandmother who died young.

It's just that......

Mrs. Cheng's regret is because the destiny of heaven is irresistible, but why did the Cheng family end up with a thin face?

From Cheng's mother's words, Wei Man felt that Cheng's temperament was really very unsuitable for marrying into the Hou Mansion deep in the courtyard...... With the experience of Mrs. Cheng, she would not have imagined the hardships of the Cheng family after marrying into the Hou Mansion...... Mrs. Cheng obviously loves Cheng's daughter very much, but why didn't he stop Cheng's and Wei Bai's family affairs?

In the gap at the end of a topic, Wei Man interjected and asked, "How did my grandfather, mother and father know each other back then?" ”

"Your mother," mentioning Cheng's family, the expression on Mrs. Cheng's face instantly darkened a lot, and she sighed: "The thing I regret the most in my life is that I took your mother to Northern Xinjiang back then......"

Wei Bai and Cheng met in northern Xinjiang and got married.

If the Cheng family didn't go to northern Xinjiang, then they wouldn't have met Wei Bai, and naturally they would have died without family affairs and dystocia......

Wei Man peeked at Old Lady Cheng's face and thought to himself, how much Old Lady Cheng should regret marrying Cheng into the Zhenguo Hou Mansion in his heart.

Zhenguo Houfu.

Wei Man got out of the carriage at the second gate, pacing slowly and thoughtfully all the way.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Xia Lan helped Wei Man, who was almost stepping on the empty steps, and asked with some puzzlement, "Could it be that the old lady said something bad?" Why did the young lady look very unhappy when she came out of the old lady's study? ”

"I'm very happy to meet my grandfather," Wei Man shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said: "Xia Lan, tomorrow you go to West Street, so that Li Zhong can inquire as soon as possible about the unmarried sons in the Xungui Mansion that matches our Zhenguo Hou Mansion......

"Huh? Miss wants, inquire about the unmarried son? Xia Lan asked hesitantly.

"Yes, just ask about those fiancΓ©s who can marry me," Wei Man affirmed: "It's best that the family is lower than our Zhenguo Houfu, and it doesn't matter if you don't learn or don't know how to do it...... The most important thing is temperament, conduct, hobbies ......"

"Miss, what are you going to do?" Xia Lan's face turned a little pale, and she asked in a panic: "Why does Miss ask about those sons who are lower than Miss and are still uneducated......

What do you want to do?

Wei Man couldn't help but smile wryly.

Naturally, he wanted to set a family affair as soon as possible before the will of the palace was released.

Although Mrs. Cheng had already responded to Wei Man, so that she no longer had to worry about entering the palace, Wei Man's temperament was not relieved and she didn't do anything.

"Miss, with your identity and appearance, you must be looking for a husband who is both talented and beautiful, how can you find someone who is not unlearned......" Xia Lan chattered for a long time in confusion, and saw that Wei Man never answered, and guessed: "Isn't it, the old lady talked to Miss about family affairs today?" Is the young lady the one who is dissatisfied with the old lady's proposal? The young lady can explain to the old lady clearly, why did she inquire about it......"

"That's it!" Wei Man pinched the corner of his aching forehead, glared at Xia Lan helplessly, and said, "Don't talk yet, let me think about it......"

"Well, okay......" Xia Lan stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth tightly.

Wei Man's heart was extremely irritable, so at the fork in the road, he did not choose to go back to the garden directly, but turned the road and went to the garden.

The master and servant walked silently through a rockery.

"Auntie, you're too honest, Aunt Tao asked you to pick petals, and you really came to the garden...... You are also an aunt, haven't you forgotten your identity, you and Aunt Tao are the same master...... Aunt Tao will call you as a maid ......"

An angry voice came into Weiman's ears.

Wei Man's footsteps paused, and at the same time raised his hand, signaling Xia Lan behind him to also whisper.

"She's a sister, I'm a sister, since she has spoken, there's nothing wrong with me helping out, Hongliu, you just think too much......"

A soft and gentle voice said quietly.

"Why do I think too much! Auntie, can't you really hear the meaning of Aunt Tao's words? Aunt Tao said that the second master likes the fragrance of the petal bath the most...... She's clearly ...... But I want you to pick the petals of this bath and give it to her...... She was clearly laughing at her aunt......"

Tut!

Wei Man sighed in her heart, the way Aunt Tao in the second room eliminated people was very striking.

Wei Man stepped forward slowly, hidden, and looked at the two masters and servants who were talking.

"Miss, it's Aunt Hong in the second room and her maid Red Willow," Xia Lan smacked her lips lightly and said, "Tsk, this Red Willow is much more magnificent than her master." ”

Not far away, a slender woman of twenty-five or sixteen years old was carrying a basket in one hand, bending down to select the petals that bloomed in front of her.

A young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old in a yellow-green jacket was fanning the wind with one hand on her waist and a handkerchief in the other, complaining incessantly, and from time to time squinting at the woman who was choosing petals.

The scene in front of him made Wei Man raise his eyebrows with some interest.

The maid called Hongliu is indeed magnificent, Wei Man said in his heart, not to mention that she is a maid standing aside coldly watching the master busy, just say that the clothes on her body, looking at it, are not much worse than Aunt Hong.

Right now, because Aunt Hong is in the flowers, there is a slight sweat on her forehead, and a few strands of messy hair are scattered on her sideburns, coupled with her already a somewhat pale and haggard complexion, no one who looks at it also thinks that the well-dressed red willow on the side is the master.

"Auntie, how long will you endure vomiting like this? The slave is strange, are you really not angry at all? Hongliu hated iron and said: "Auntie, you are also a young lady from a serious family, and you were carried into the concubine room in the house by our second master in a sedan chair...... Although Aunt Tao raised her identity a few years earlier than your aunt, but, no matter how you say it, she was born as a slave, where can she compare to your noble status, and your aunt's waist is straighter than her......"

"What kind of young lady's background do I have," Aunt Hong pulled the corners of her mouth, smiled a little numbly, and said lightly: "The house pays attention to the orderliness of the young and the old, since I entered the door many years later than Sister Tao, I should treat her as a sister according to the rules...... What's more, Sister Tao also gave birth to a second miss for the second master......"

"Auntie! Every time I talk about you, you have to say these shortness of breath words," Hongliu shouted angrily: "Since Aunt Tao is so envious that Aunt Tao can give birth to a second miss for the second master, auntie, you should work harder, and strive to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the second master......"

"I ......" Aunt Hong's face was a little stunned, and the hand picking the petals unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

There was also a child here, but ...... Aunt Hong closed her eyes, and there was a sad look on her face.

"Auntie, it's really not a slave who wants to talk about you," Hongliu glanced at Aunt Hong with disgust, and muttered impatiently: "Back then, the second master fell in love with his aunt at a glance on the street, and it took a lot of thought to ask Mrs. Tai to agree to the aunt's entry...... Thinking about how good the second master treated his aunt at the beginning, he was afraid that his aunt would not be used to eating the food in the house, so he sent someone to pack the dishes that his aunt liked to eat from outside the house and sent them, for fear that his aunt would be shabby, so he made clothes and jewelry for his aunt in private, and he was even more afraid that his wife would embarrass his aunt, and he protected his aunt in everything......"

Wei Man frowned slightly, if the second master Wei Jie really treated this Aunt Hong like this, then he really pushed the person he liked into the fire pit...... Let's not talk about it first, the second lady Cao will definitely not let Aunt Hong go.

Wei Man couldn't help but take a closer look at Aunt Hong's face.
