Chapter 28: Contrast 1
"This Miss Jiang, Li Zhong didn't mention it." Cheng's mother asked suspiciously, "Is Miss going to inquire about her?" ”
"Let Brother Li Zhong inquire as much as possible about this Miss Jiang's temperament." Wei Man thought for a while, and then pondered: "Especially, when my aunt and Mrs. Jiang had a dispute, what were she doing and what kind of things did she say......
"Why did Miss Jiang inquire about that Miss Jiang?" Cheng's mother asked puzzledly, "Could it be that Miss Jiang thinks that Miss Jiang will eventually marry Young Master Cousin?" ”
"Not really." Wei Man shook his head and said, "With my aunt's temperament, she will definitely not agree to her cousin marrying Mrs. Jiang's niece and granddaughter...... I did this, well, it was just a feeling in my heart, and I always felt that I would have something to do with that Miss Jiang in the future......"
"Phew! Bah! Bah! Cheng's mother looked like she was afraid of it, glanced at Wei Man, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can Miss have any relationship with the people of the Jiang family!" I didn't have to lower the status of Miss! ”
Cheng's mother's reaction made Wei Man laugh.
Cheng's mother said again: "Didn't Miss say that the people in the mansion don't want you to marry into the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, and the marriage between you and the young master will definitely not be successful?" That's fine, as long as you don't fight Miss's idea, whether it's the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion or the Jiang family, I don't want to hear all the messy things that happened to them...... The Lord of the Buddha is above, so please bless my young lady not to deal with any young lady of the Jiang family. ”
"It's best not to see each other." Wei Man took Cheng's mother's hand and explained: "But, Mom, everything is not certain, there are changes in an instant, for example, if something happens, what if my aunt is determined to marry my cousin?" Although the second lady, Aunt Jiang, and Aunt Huang don't want me to marry into the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, we all know that in my grandmother's heart, the combined weight of the three of them may not be as good as a few tears of my aunt...... Therefore, the more we know, the more initiative we will have in dealing with future emergencies. ”
Inquiring about Jiang Ruoyun was completely driven by Wei Man's sixth sense, just for peace of mind, but she didn't expect that soon after, she would really deal with Jiang Ruoyun, and once again, refresh her understanding of the Jiang family.
……
It is said that the queen mother was very angry when she heard it, and insisted on calling several people into the palace to punish them, but fortunately they were stopped by the emperor in the end......
On the same day, the emperor sent Feng An, the chief eunuch around him, to deliver the decree from house to house, and the decree of each government was much the same, probably as follows: ...... To dare to make such a big mistake must be strictly disciplined! Otherwise......
Chief Manager Feng held his chin high, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he dragged a long, sharp tail note, reading a vague holy decree full of gunsmoke.
After Feng An left, the reactions of the various governments were very different, some should do what they should do and what they didn't do for a while, some sneered a few times and were in a better mood, and of course, there were also those who were scared and panicked.
……
On this day, in the Xi Garden, everyone was about to go back after saying goodbye, and a maid hurriedly came in to report that Miss Yingbiao had entered the house.
When Mrs. Tai heard this, a smile of joy instantly bloomed on her face, which was still dull just now.
"Why is Ying'er here? It's such a cold day, how can it be cold! Fast! Mother Wu," Mrs. Tai instructed Mother Wu beside her, "Go and greet her!" ”
As soon as Mother Wu went out, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but stand up, looking looking forward to it, paced a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and said to Mother Tao: "You go to the kitchen and watch, prepare a few more refreshments that Ying'er likes to eat, by the way, lunch, Ying'er is going to have lunch in Xiyuan, you ask Mother Liu to prepare more dishes that Ying'er likes to eat......"
Tao's mother hurriedly retreated.
Wei Man silently watched Mrs. Tai's speech and demeanor, and had a new understanding of Wen Hongying's favor.
While accompanying Mrs. Tai to rejoice, Cao Shi glanced at Wei Ya.
Wei Ya got up willingly, and said to Mrs. Tai with a smile: "Grandmother, Cousin Ying is here to find me, you can give Ya'er a chance to invite Cousin Ying to dinner at noon." ”
"Ying'er is here to find you?" Mrs. Tai stopped pacing, looked at Wei Ya suspiciously, and asked.
"yes......"
"Nonsense!" Cao Shi opened his mouth and scolded: "How can I be looking for you, Miss Yingbiao is naturally here to visit Mrs. Tai!" ”
"However, I just posted to my cousin Ying a few days ago, and I made an appointment to meet today." Wei Ya retorted unhappily.
"You posted on your cousin?" Cao Shi asked with a surprised face: "When did this happen, why didn't I know?" ”
"It was just the other day." Wei Ya said coquettishly: "Didn't my mother reward me with some particularly beautiful spars a few days ago?" I thought that Cousin Ying liked these beautiful jade, so I sent a post to Cousin Ying, asking Cousin Ying to come over today and pick some of my favorite ones to play. ”
"You girl!" Cao Shi rebuked helplessly: "Those spars are not good things, you can be a treasure yourself, how can you use them to lure your cousin Ying over in the cold weather......"
"What kind of hedron is it?" Mrs. Tai probably understood what was going on, so she interjected and asked Cao, "Why don't I know what kind of spar this is?" ”
"Hey, mother, that's the case," Cao Shi looked embarrassed and explained: "A few days ago, a friend of the second master returned to Beijing from the south to send some gadgets into the house, because they were all small things that could not be put on the table, so he didn't dare to send them to his mother...... Ya'er happened to take a fancy to those spars, and her daughter-in-law gave them to Ya'er casually, but she didn't expect Ya'er to remember Miss Yingbiao, and she also used those spars to attract Miss Yingbiao ......"
"Cousin Ying originally liked beautiful spars." Cao's blame made Wei Ya very aggrieved, she took Mrs. Tai's arm, and argued coquettishly: "Grandmother, those spars were specially picked out by her granddaughter, and Cousin Ying will definitely like them...... Besides, even if Cousin Ying can't pick something she likes today, but, isn't there still a grandmother, my cousin hasn't seen my grandmother for a long time, and I think now that Cousin Ying must have missed her grandmother before she should make my post, grandmother, do you think? ”
Wei Man lowered his head and smiled lightly, and said in his heart, Wei Ya's turn should not have been discussed with the Cao family, which is inevitably a bit blunt.
"Haha......" Mrs. Tai was told by Wei Ya in her heart, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Ying'er came to see me, and she also responded to your post, your cousin has such a good relationship, and my grandmother is very happy." ”
"Grandmother, you don't know, the relationship between my sister and Cousin Ying is really so good that even I am jealous." Wei Xian interjected: "What kind of spar is that, I've never seen it as a sister, but my sister picked out a beautiful one and waited for Cousin Ying to come and pick it up." ”
"What's worth it when you're jealous?" Wei Ya glanced at Wei Xian, looked very compassionate, and said, "You can go and pick a few pieces in a while." ”
"All of them, all of them, Xian'er also have them, and several young ladies have them." Cao Shi hurriedly said: "It's all in my place, hey, it's all my fault, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about this matter, and I'll send someone to the yard of a few young ladies in a while." ”
Wei Man and the others hurriedly stepped forward to thank the Cao family.
Mrs. Tai also nodded to Cao Shi and said, "I don't have to worry about you doing things." ”
"It's all my mother's teachings." Cao Shi responded respectfully, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Ya'er is not sensible, but after all, Miss Yingbiao rushed over on a cold day, and there are still a few pieces of jade in good color in the daughter-in-law's dowry, or I will give Yingbiao ...... later."
"It's all your own children, don't be so polite." Mrs. Tai interrupted Cao and said, "I am already very happy that you have any good things to think of her...... There's no need to add anything, just use the ones in the hands of the big girl. ”
"What my mother said is that it's all a family anyway." Cao secretly spied on Mrs. Tai's expression and said with a smile: "I'll be cheeky and don't care, anyway, it's the friendship between their cousins." ”
At this time, the curtain was raised, and everyone looked for prestige, only to see a woman about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, plump, with almond eyes and a round face, walking in.
"Ying'er!" Mrs. Tai happily called, "Ying'er, come here." ”
"Grandmother." Wen Hongying smiled and stepped forward.
Mrs. Tai pulled up Wen Hongying, who was saluting, looked up and down incessantly, and asked repeatedly, "Is the road frozen?" Why didn't you send someone to inform you first, I can send someone to pick you up......"
"Get out of the way, grandmother." Wen Hongying smiled: "Where am I so squeamish." ”
The two had a good relationship, and Wen Hongying and everyone greeted each other.
This is the second time Wei Man has seen Wen Hongying, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Mrs. Tai likes her, Wen Hongying's appearance and charm have completely been passed on by Mrs. Tai, especially the eyes, the charm of raising eyebrows, is exactly the same as Mrs. Tai.
Cheng's mother led the maid to serve a few refreshments.
"Hurry up and take a few sips of hot tea to warm up." Mrs. Tai persuaded, seeing that Wen Hongying drank two sips of tea, joy seemed to fly out of the corners of her eyes, as if she noticed something, she looked around, waved her hand casually to the people in the room, and said, "That's it for today, you all go back first." He looked like he was all devoted to Wen Hongying, and he didn't bother to look at the people in the room again.
"Grandmother, I'm ......"
