Chapter 020: What do you mean?
"Mother, how are you doing lately? During this period of time when you are away, the concubine is really thinking about it, and I am always worried that you don't eat well, your accommodation is not warm, and this year's winter is too cold. The Qin family affectionately took Mrs. Wei's arm and gently supported it: "No, as soon as I received your letter this morning, the young ladies are all preparing gifts." ”
"Yes, old lady, you haven't been in the mansion for a year, and it's not interesting for us to live." Mo Shi said lightly: "Old lady, this Shangyuan Festival has to be lively with us at home. ”
"Yes, grandmother, there are so many people, and it can make grandmother happy." Wei Zixin took Mrs. Wei's hand and said coquettishly: "You are not here, Xin'er feels that this year has been tasteless." ”
The old lady smiled with a wrinkled face, a pair of eyes looking for something in the crowd, and patted Wei Zixin's hand lovingly: "It's still Xin'er's sweet mouth, how many days has this little mouth been gone, but it's smeared with honey?" ”
The old lady's words made Wei Zixin blush: "What's the matter, grandmother, you're making fun of Xin'er, it's too late for Xin'er to think about you, coaxing you to be happy is Xin'er's favorite thing to do." ”
"Okay, good, Xin'er has grown up and is sensible, but she is not the little girl who cried when she couldn't eat candy when she was a child." The old lady lamented: "It's been so fast, from such a young age to be taller than my grandmother." The old lady gestured.
"Grandmother, you want to live a long life, and Xin'er will make longevity peaches for you every year." The corners of Wei Zixin's mouth were slightly hooked, and the old lady's every move fell into Wei Zixin's eyes.
Yi, who was walking at the end, asked Mama Chen anxiously: "Mama Chen, are you sure that Miss is out of the house?" ”
"Yes, I told the slave maid this morning, saying that I would come back in the afternoon, but this old lady came back suddenly, and she must be looking for Miss." Mama Chen was also anxious, frowning: "Or, I'm going to look for it now while the old lady hasn't paid attention?" ”
The two of them said one after another: "Forget it, it's too late to go now, I hope the old lady won't notice that Anu is not there today." ”
"Sister, but what's the anxious thing, why didn't you see Anu?" Mohs asked softly.
"Anu is naughty, I don't know where to play now." Yi Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth, his heart was very anxious, and his handkerchief was soaked.
"How is this good, this old lady likes Anu the most, what if this is mentioned later?" Mo Shi said and looked in the direction of the old lady, only to see that the old lady was looking for something with a pair of clear eyes.
When Yi prayed that the old lady would not think of it, a clear voice sounded: "Grandmother, but you are looking for the third sister?" Wei Zixin squinted in Yi's direction: "Aunt Yi, why didn't you see the third sister today, didn't she know that her grandmother was back?" When the words fell, Yi's face turned a lot paler in an instant, and he opened his mouth to speak and stopped, Yi knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape today, obviously the eldest lady and the eldest lady would say this if they were sure, Yi was not worried that Anu would be punished, but if Anu's reputation was damaged because of this incident, then ...... It's even harder to survive in this province.
Thinking of this, Yi's heart tugged.
"Yes, Yi, why didn't I see it?" The old lady looked towards the door of the main hall from time to time and didn't see anyone, and the expression on Yi's face made the old lady turn to it at a glance: "Yi, I heard that you have a cold, are you better now?" ”
Yi Shi raised his head and smiled gratefully at the old lady: "Let the old lady worry, the concubine is much better." ”
"That's good, on the way to Beijing, I heard that the five princes of the Wu Netherworld came to make peace, and they took a fancy to us Anu?" The smile on Mrs. Wei's face never fell off as she spoke, which made people feel a kind of joy that my family had a girl growing up.
Yi's heart was pounding, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Mrs. Wei: "Back to the old lady's words, there is indeed such a thing, and the emperor has agreed, this is Anu's blessing." ”
"That's good, the emperor will get married, and Wu Yingguo will propose. If you want to come to Anu and marry there, you won't be wronged. The old lady sighed helplessly, she was old, and many things were beyond her strength, and she could protect them for a while.
Yi Shi was very emotional in his heart, and he was also grateful: "Thank you for the old lady's concern, Anu will be very happy to know." The whole house is also worried about the old lady's life in Wei Nuyi, and whether Wei Nuyi will marry in another country and be wronged.
During the conversation, the reason why Wei Nuyi did not appear has been covered up in the past, Wei Zixin's eyes are red with jealousy, she was also married by the emperor and Wei Nuyi, why didn't her grandmother ask her if she was willing, whether she would be wronged, her hand on her knees and tightly grasped the embroidered handkerchief, and her heart became more and more unwilling.
"Aunt Yi, where did Anu go? This morning, Xin'er said that she was teaching Anu Nu to be red and helping to embroider dresses, but she didn't see Anu early in the morning. The corners of Qin's mouth smiled, and he looked at Yi meaningfully.
Yi Shi looked at Qin Shi suddenly, and was about to speak when he was stopped by a pair of hands, Yi Shi looked at Wei Ninghuang and didn't know what she was going to say.
Watching Wei Ninghuang walk out of the banquet and kneel in front of the old lady: "Back to grandmother, the eldest sister has been unwell these days, and Anu has been learning to be popular here in Ning'er, and I happened to hear that my grandmother is coming back today." ”
"Anu wanted to buy some favorite snacks for her grandmother, so she took Ning'er to find two men's clothes and left the house with the maid Bilu." Wei Ninghuang said and looked at Mrs. Wei: "Grandmother, it's Ning'er who doesn't think about it, and I hope that my grandmother will punish you." ”
"Nonsense, a girl who has not left the cabinet is out of the house, what will the emperor think if this is spread out? What do the five princes think? Wei Zicheng's face darkened instantly, and he roared sharply: "Ning'er, you are the most secure and reassuring young lady in the house, why are you so reckless today." ”
Wei Ninghuang lowered his head: "Father, my daughter knows that she is wrong." ”
"Yes, second sister, what kind of intentions do you have, if you can't get married, you will send the lives of everyone in our Weifu to the guillotine." Wei Zixin said with a worried face: "Father, you said that the third sister will leave the house in the morning, it's almost noon, will it be ......?"
"I didn't, father, I ......" Wei Ninghuang didn't have time to defend himself before he was interrupted by a stern voice.
"Second Miss, you said that if you don't have it, there will be no more? And on the day the old lady came back, you let the third lady out, I saw the second miss a few days ago and still admired the fifth prince, didn't you? I also poured wine for the five princes. ”
Qin's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Wei Ninghuang in disbelief: "Could it be that Second Miss, you ......" and then knelt down with a guilty face: "Mother, it's the concubine's fault, it's the concubine's body that didn't take care of the things in the mansion, so that you encountered such a bad thing as soon as you came back." ”
Mo's face turned cold: "Big lady, the eldest lady should pay attention when she speaks, I understand my own daughter." As he spoke, he looked at the old lady: "Old lady, the concubine swears by her life, and the second lady will not do this." ”
"Then why hasn't the third sister come back yet, if something happens, how will you let the third sister marry in the future, and how will you meet people?" Wei Zixin looked distressed: "Grandmother, it's me, the elder sister, who didn't teach my sisters well, and asked my grandmother to punish me." ”
"Grandmother, Ning'er really doesn't have that mind, you know Ning'er's character best, grandmother ......"
Old Mrs. Wei's face became more and more ugly, and everything was prosperous, but the situation in front of her was like this: "Wei Zicheng, Qin Clan, how did I explain to you when I left." Mrs. Wei angrily tapped the ground with her cane and made a clanging sound.
"It's really getting more and more unruly, and the rules of the Wei Mansion have been forgotten? Or I'm gone, thinking I can do whatever I want. Old Mrs. Wei snorted coldly: "If anyone spreads today's events, get out of the Wei Mansion for me." ”
The old lady's words made Wei Zixin and Qin's originally gloating hearts sink to the bottom all of a sudden, which was obviously excusing Wei Nuyi.
