Chapter 18 Old Clothes
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Wei Qingyang had already rested.
Red lanterns began to be hung in the Wei Mansion, and there were some signs of the New Year.
In Fanghua Garden, a few maidens have been added this time.
Although there is no kitchenette, three meals a day can be delivered. Rue Xiang can be regarded as idle.
But at noon, Wei Rongruo felt that something was wrongβit wasn't that he would be done if he moved back.
The truth tells her that the real test is yet to come.
It was supposed to be a full meal at noon, which is good. By the time it was delivered to Fanghuayuan, it was already cold.
Wei Rongruo couldn't help but think, if this fish soup was for the ancestors, what would happen?
But just think about it. If Wei Rong knew, it couldn't happen at all.
Wei Rongruo looked at a small soup bowl on the table, and there were a few pieces of fish in the bowl.
Gently pick it up with chopsticks, one piece is the tail of the fish, and the other is the fin.
Wei Rongruo barely ate a few bites of food, she was not a picky eater. But the cold food is really hard to swallow.
"Miss, there are some pickles here." Rue Xiang said, and brought the small porcelain vase.
Just this little pickle, or Pi'er secretly stuffed Rue Xiang. said that her mother made it herself, so let Rue taste it.
Wei Rongruo couldn't help sighing: Small family, you can still get some wild vegetables to make pickles.
But she, a noble girl, only lacks this stuttering.
After waking up after a lunch break, Rue Xiang said, "I just heard the little girl say that Mrs. Gu is here." And I won't go back until the New Year. β
Wei Rong nodded thoughtfully, and then instructed Ruxiang: "You go and find a set of old clothes." β
"What are you looking for old clothes?" Rue Xiang was puzzled, "Mrs. Gu is here, and the ancestor will invite the young ladies over to have dinner together." Miss is trying to deliberately wear a cold spot? β
Wei Rongruo shook his head: "No, I have to pick the best clothes to wear." You go, and then find an opportunity to deliberately let Miss Six know that I am going out. β
"Even so, shouldn't you deliberately let Miss Fifth know?" Rue Xiang is getting more and more incomprehensible.
Wei Rongruo smiled silently.
Wen is an old fox, and he has just suffered a dumb loss, so he will definitely be more cautious.
This kind of thing is still a trick for the honest Wei Rongxuan, so that it is not easy to be recognized - this can't be blamed on her, people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts.
Wei Rongyue and Wei Rongxuan have always been attached to the Wen family, and the original owner is afraid that he will be bullied.
It's just interest.
Sure enough, in the evening, because Wei Qingyao came, the old ancestor invited the ladies to Qingyazhai for dinner.
Because Wei Qingyang opened another table in the Qingwu Courtyard in the east to entertain Wei Qingyao's son Yu Zhengtao. In addition, there are two young masters of the Wei family - the second young master Wei Rongcheng and the third young master Wei Rongxi to accompany them.
Therefore, there are only female guests on the ancestor's side.
Rue Xiang waited left and right in Fanghua Garden, but she didn't see Wei Rongruo's shadow. Seeing that it was time for dinner, the ancestor was also in a hurry.
Both of them have always been well-behaved, so how could they be late?
After a quarter of an hour, Wei Rongxuan and Wei Rongruo Shanshan were late.
When she crashed into everyone's sight, Wei Rongxuan was vigorously holding Wei Rongruo's hand, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
"Grandmother is the east, you dare to be late. What a big shelf! Before anyone else could say anything, Wei Ronglin opened his mouth first.
Wen glanced at her with a gesture, then turned around and smiled: "Third Miss Jin Zun Yugui, it's too late." But if the ancestor is starved, it will not be good.
"Besides, I just got cold away from my husband's family, so I ran around. I don't know, I also said that the daughter taught by our Wei family has no rules......"
"Shut up!" The old ancestor interrupted Wen's words, "Speaking of rules, my wife is here today, and she has set the rules.
"Whoever dares to talk about this in the future, the family law will serve!"
Wen's face immediately darkened.
Wei Ronglin's face was almost better. At this time, when the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.
Her hands were hidden under the table, wringing the veil fiercely. I can't wait to rush out immediately, and open the flesh of Wei Rongruo's ground, and humiliate the snow that day!
But the remaining shred of reason stopped her.
"Let go of me!" Wei Rongruo said softly.
Wei Rongxuan was willing to do anything, and pulled her straight to the front of the old ancestor, and even forgot to salute: "Grandmother, the third sister wants to leave the house without permission!" And with a baggage! β
The people at the table all looked at them with concern. Wei Qingyao was also a little curious.
Wei Rongxuan was afraid that everyone wouldn't believe it, so she shook off the burden at once.
So, a set of half-worn winter clothes was presented in front of everyone.
Wei Rongruo's face was full of shame, and his voice was like a gnat: "I...... I'm going to take advantage of the darkness and take it out and exchange it for some silver flowers. I didn't expect ...... It alarmed everyone, and it also made my aunt see the joke. β
As he spoke, he lowered his head.
Before Wei Rongruo said this, he had carefully brewed it.
The old ancestor obviously gave her a silver ticket of one hundred taels, knowing that she could not be short of silver flowers at the moment.
If the old ancestor thought about it carefully, he would naturally be able to understand the situation in front of her.
So, here's where it goes. It depends on whether the ancestors give face.
I heard the old ancestor sigh a long time: "A set of old winter clothes is only worth a few taels of silver?" Even if you take it, you can take a new one. It's hard for you. β
When Wen heard this, he got up from his chair and his face turned the color of pig liver. scolded in his heart, Wei Rongruo deliberately did it for the ancestors to see, and Wei Rongxuan was really stupid.
If Wei Rongruo slapped herself in the face in public, she turned out to be an accomplice!
"Jin'er, the third lady moved back to the Wei Mansion that day. I have told you to go to Fang Hua Yuan and measure it to make a winter coat. Why didn't you go? "At the moment, the Wen family can only use Jin'er as a substitute for the dead ghost.
Jin'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "It's the slave's negligence." Because there are a lot of things at the end of the year, I forgot to be busy. β
The expression was quite repentant.
Wen symbolically criticized a few words, and then said loudly: "I can't do this little thing, and I will fine you three months' monthly money!" β
Jin'er only agreed, her eyes full of tears.
Of course, Wei Rongruo knew that Jin'er was just a scapegoat.
The old ancestor raised his hand and motioned for Jin'er to go out.
Then he called Wei Rongruo: "Good boy, I have wronged you." β
Wei Rongruo walked a few steps closely and went behind the old ancestor to arrange chopsticks for her.
A good meal, just because the people who eat it have their own thoughts, it is a mixed taste.
