Text Chapter 21: Letters

"Father, is my father coming back for the New Year?" Wei Man, who was the first to react, asked with joy on his face.

With Wei Bai here, Wen Wei's idea of beating her is bound to be jealous!

Although Weiman has no feeling for Weibai, it is undeniable that Weibai is her biggest reliance in this world.

"yes." With a loving smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, Mrs. Tai sighed: "I just received a letter early in the morning, saying that I was going back for the New Year." ”

Everyone in the third room was overflowing with joy, and even Wei Feng, who had a cold face, showed an excited pink on his face.

"Has Master Hou decided when to leave......

"When will Master Hou arrive home one day......

"It's going to snow, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk on the road......"

It's a buzz.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandmother......"

A timid voice sounded, and the contrast with everyone's joy was huge, and it was particularly abrupt.

Everyone looked at each other and came forward at some point, revealing a nervous Weiyun all over their bodies.

"I, I, my mother, back, back?" Wei Yun tried to endure her fear, opened a pair of big eyes, looked at Mrs. Tai pleadingly, and stammered and asked.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for a moment, and the gaze cast on Wei Yun was a little unclear.

"Humph!"

I only heard Mrs. Tai snort coldly, and while fiddling with the tea cup in her hand casually, she said casually: "Your mother, the letter said that she hurt her leg again and is bedridden." ”

"Whew!" Wen Wei pursed his lips, let out an undisguised sneer, and mocked: "This has been hurting for a hundred days, and naturally it is impossible to return to Beijing for a long journey." ”

Everyone also followed Wen Wei and let out suppressed laughter.

"Oh, that's a coincidence!" Cao Shi agreed: "At this time last year, the third brother and sister also injured their legs, and this year, it was really careless, didn't they fall in the same place?" ”

As soon as Cao's voice fell, the ridicule one after another became even more harsh.

Chang's reluctance to return to Beijing, this is a well-known thing in the house, in the first few years, she will find some excuses to get on the table to prevaricate, in recent years, Chang looks like he is too lazy to bother making up an excuse, and the excuse that he can't return to Beijing after hurting his leg is not only the same as last year's excuse, but also exactly the same as the year before last.

The hope on Wei Yun's face had long since disappeared, and the tears were falling from her eyes, but in the face of Mrs. Tai's cold gaze, she could only endure it and silently retreated to the corner.

Cao glanced at Wei Yun's figure contemptuously, and then said to Mrs. Tai with a happy face: "Mother, isn't this year's New Year going to be lively!" Immediately, as if she suddenly thought of something, her face showed embarrassment, and said: "This, since the Hou Ye is going to come back for the New Year, the things for the New Year have to be reformulated, but there is a little ...... in this time."

"You don't have to bother, just add some to the original list, so let's ......" Mrs. Tai thought for a while and said, "You can make a rough list of regulations first, and I'll read it tomorrow morning before deciding." ”

Make a list, and read it tomorrow morning! There's a whole bunch of things going on after that......

Sure enough, it is his own son, the treatment is different, Cao's heart is very unwilling, but he didn't dare to show it at all, but he responded happily: "Mother rest assured, tonight's daughter-in-law just won't sleep, and she has to sort out the list, Hou Ye is rare to spend the New Year in the house, and the daughter-in-law must satisfy Hou Ye. ”

Seeing that the smile on Mrs. Tai's face faded a little, Cao's eyes flickered a few times, and then smiled: "Daughter-in-law originally thought that Master Hou had already come back once this year, and he would definitely not come back again in the New Year, but I didn't expect it...... is still filial piety, he must miss his mother. ”

If Wei Bai was really filial, it would not be difficult to be at home, and the last time he came back was not for Mrs. Tai, but because his daughter was seriously ill.

Cao's words obviously concealed several layers of meaning in them, and Mrs. Tai's face was obviously less joyful than before.

"Look at what the second lady said, Master Hou is my aunt's own son, can I not be filial? Our Hou Ye is also for the whole Hou Mansion to be on the border of Northern Xinjiang all the year round, and Hou Ye once told me that I don't know how much I envy the second master, and I can say hello to my aunt sooner or later. ”

"That's it, that's it." Aunt Jiang nodded and agreed: "Master Hou is very filial, but there is no way. ”

In private, no matter how incompatible with Aunt Huang, Aunt Jiang is the only one who looks forward to Aunt Huang.

Cao's face blushed slightly, because the second master, who could greet Mrs. Tai sooner or later, had not seen anyone for several days.

Compared with Wei Bai, the general who guarded the northern frontier, the second master Wei Jie, who came out, did not say that he was not a martial artist, and even, even today's idle errands, but also because of Wei Bai's face to sit steadily, these, the Cao family had a general understanding before getting married, and there was nothing to complain about, the most angry thing for the Cao family was that the second master was very resistant to facing Mrs. Tai for some reason, and even went out early and returned late, so that Mrs. Tai either hadn't gotten up yet, or had already fallen asleep, so, His greetings were all about kowtowing outside the house......

"What has the second child been doing lately?" After being reminded by Aunt Huang, Mrs. Tai remembered that it seemed that she hadn't heard from the second master for several days.

"Recently, the second master seems to have been visiting a great Confucian with his friends." Cao replied in a concealed whisper.

Wen Wei's expression was stunned when she heard this, and she remembered that before Wen Liyan went out, he also said that he was going to visit a great Confucian, could it be that Wen Liyan and Wei Jie were together?

Thinking of this possibility, a nameless anger surged into Wen Wei's heart, in her heart, although Wen Liyan is not an elegant person, but after all, it is her husband, she still has the awe she deserves, and the second master Wei Jie, although it is her second brother, but, in her heart, she looks down on Wei Jie, the younger brother, thinking that her husband is absurd with Wei Jie, who she despises, she feels that she was pulled off the high platform, and there is no difference between the Cao family who looked up to her and snorted......

"Confucian? Which Confucian? Wen Wei asked with a tense face.

"This ......" Cao looked embarrassed, and said aggrievedly: "My aunt and grandmother know that my brother and daughter-in-law are a matter that they dare not interfere with the second master. ”

"Look at you like that!" Wen Wei shouted with a disgusted face: "It's also the housekeeper's wife of the Hou Mansion, but she doesn't dare to come out in front of her husband!" ”

"It's all bad for my brother-in-law." Cao Shi answered in a sneer, and at the same time rolled his eyes at Wen Wei in his heart, you Wen Wei is still a dignified Mrs. Ning Guohou, so you dare to be arrogant in your mother's house, and go back to Ning Guohou's mansion, isn't it the same, don't you dare to say a word loudly?

"Didn't you tell me where to go?" Mrs. Tai asked with a frown.

"This, it seems that I went to the suburbs of Beijing, and the daughter-in-law is not clear where it is." Cao replied.

Wen Liyan was not in the suburbs of Beijing, and Wen Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Seeing that it's November, I also have to help prepare for the New Year, but I still keep running out...... Which Confucian did you go to meet? Mrs. Tai asked unhappily.

"Huh!" Without waiting for Cao's answer, Wen Wei sneered and said, "Mother, he said to go to see the Great Confucian, you really believe it, as far as his knowledge, which Great Confucian wants to see him?" He, maybe where is ridiculous, but he uses the non-existent Confucianism as an excuse. Wen Wei said disdainfully.

Mrs. Tai knew Wei Jie's character, sighed, and said nothing more.

Cao's hatred is itching, she just can't figure it out, no matter what the second master says, he is Wen Wei's younger brother, but as a married sister, Wen Wei's never maintains Wei Jie, every time she talks about it, it is an unbearable description......

At the same time, the Cao family is also regretting, she shouldn't have lied in order to cover up Wei Jie and Wen Liyan being together, she should have told where Wei Jie is now, and see what else Wen Wei can say!

However, she also knew that Wen Wei's family didn't like Wen Liyan and Wei Jie's relationship......

Bear with me!

Cao comforted herself over and over again in her heart, for the second room, for herself, for her son, for ...... I can only endure it!

"Grandma said that my second master really had something to do, so he didn't go home, and besides, the second master discussed some things with me a few days ago for the New Year."

Wen Wei turned his face away, looking too lazy to listen to your nonsense.

Cao stroked his hair, and said to Mrs. Tai: "Mother rest assured, the second master respects his mother, when should he do something, although he doesn't say it, but he clearly remembers it in his heart, and the second master never dares to slack off half a point of his mother's instructions." ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Tai hummed noncommittally.

Hello to the end.

Wei Man's heart went up and down, and she thought about her thoughts while slowly walking towards Manhui Garden.

What does she have that can be coveted and calculated by the Wen Wei clan? Why did Wen Wei repeatedly remind her to read more poetry? And it is also vaguely mentioned about getting married......

Could it be ......

Thinking of a possibility, Wei Man couldn't help but pause.

"Is Miss tired?" Seeing that Weiman suddenly stopped, Swift hurriedly asked.

"No......" Wei Man shook her head, "Swift ......" her voice trembled a little.

"Miss," Swift hurriedly responded, but seeing that Wei Man's face was a little pale, she asked uneasily, "Miss want to take a break?" ”

"Swift, are you familiar with Young Master Cousin?" Wei Man asked abruptly.

"Young Master Cousin?" Although Yuyan was puzzled, she still thought about it seriously, and then replied: "Well, Mrs. Tai likes Young Master Cousin, as long as Young Master Cousin comes to the house, Mrs. Tai is very happy, every time that time, the godmother will be very busy." ”
