Text Chapter 2: Inquiring
Although Mrs. Cheng often sends things into the house, she has never met Weiman, her granddaughter.
Wei Man has heard that when Mrs. Cheng was young, he was a person who loved to travel around, and he had traveled to almost every corner of the Dajing Dynasty, but he had never set foot in the capital of Beijing, and Mr. Cheng was sixty years old this year, and five years ago he no longer went out, but stayed in his hometown in Xijing to retire.
In this dynasty, it was difficult for women to travel, and Wei Man thought that in the lifetime of Mrs. Cheng, she might not be able to see this grandfather who gave her selfless love.
Looking at Cheng's mother's somewhat lonely look, Wei Man's heart moved.
"Mom, do you want to go back to Xijing to have a look? I can't go out of Beijing, you can visit my grandfather for me, it can be regarded as my filial piety. ”
Cheng's mother was stunned for a moment, and after understanding, she quickly shook her head and said, "Where is this, the old lady sent the slave maid into the house, just to serve the young lady well, if the slave and the maid leave the young lady and go back, the old lady has to sell the slave and maid...... This is absolutely not a no-go! ”
Cheng's mother must have been in a hurry, and began to call herself a slave.
She was Cheng's maidservant when she was not out of the cabinet, and she got rid of her slavery when she got married, so she didn't enter Beijing with Cheng's back then, but a few years after Cheng's mother got married, her man went because of a fever, and soon, her young daughter was gone......
Cheng was pregnant with Weiman at the time, and when he heard what happened to his maidservant, he sent a letter to let her come to Beijing, however, Cheng's mother was still on the way, and Cheng went because of dystocia......
Seeing Cheng's mother's righteous words of refusal, Wei Man, who had impure motives, smiled a little unnaturally.
Although Cheng's mother has never doubted the authenticity of Weiman, for the "fake" Weiman, the nurse who waited for "her" to grow up by her side is undoubtedly a time bomb on her body, which will detonate when and where she does not know, so since the crossing, Weiman has always wanted to support Weiman's mother, but the result of many efforts tells Weiman that this is obviously a big project that cannot be rushed.
Wei Man comforted Cheng's mother for a few words, then looked at Xia Lan, motioned for her to sit down on the small stool next to her, and said, "Tell me, what did you hear?" ”
Xia Lan straightened her face and said, "My aunt and grandmother entered the house at dinner yesterday, and I heard the waiter say that her face was very bad, and the mother-in-law who set up the horse stool was kicked hard by her aunt because her hands and feet were slow...... Mother Tao sent all the maids and mothers-in-law out, and the aunt and grandmother talked for a long time in the inner room...... A few cries were faintly heard...... When the slave came back, she went to Xiyuan again, and Mrs. Tai and her aunt had not yet gotten up. ”
Wen Wei, the aunt of Zhenguo Houfu, is the only daughter of Mrs. Huang, and married into the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, which is also a marquis with military merits, and is now Mrs. Ning Guohou.
Yesterday evening, Wen Wei suddenly returned to his parents' house and stayed overnight, according to the past inference, something must have happened, in order to avoid touching Mrs. Tai or Wen Wei's scales, Wei Man ordered Xia Lan to inquire about the news early in the morning last night.
After all, Xia Lan was just an insignificant little maid, and she could only inquire about some appearances, but Wei Man was very satisfied with her results and smiled appreciatively at her.
Wei Man thought to himself.
Wen Wei's angry eyes went back to his parents' house, in half a year, Wei Man has heard it six or seven times, which is a very common thing.
