Chapter 144: Spring Blossoms (4)
"Now, can we wait for Qi Hao to come back?" Mrs. Xu's face was gloomy and terrifying, "Now we have to act like an innocent victim in this matter... He is the person I know best, ambitious, arrogant, treating others as nothing, and most unbearable for others to disobey him... At the beginning, if it weren't for Mrs. Wei's indifferent care of his room, thinking about finding him a supplement every day, and giving him the secret skills of the room technique, the mother and son would not have been so stiff; If we hadn't found an opportunity for Ye Zisu to have a gap with him, it would not have been possible to get to this point so smoothly. This time, as long as we handle it properly, the knot between their mother and son will get heavier and heavier... Moreover, even if Mrs. Wei finds a girl to give birth to a son for Qi Hao, don't forget, when Qi Han died, he was eighteen years old..."
Mama Yi fully understood what she meant, but she was still a little worried, and said, "But Miss Wei's face..."
Mrs. Xu snorted coldly: "You don't have to worry, people have been tossed by illness for a few days, and naturally there will be no original water spirit... When he comes back, a good girl's family will become like that, and this account will be counted on Mrs. Wei's head again..."
Mama Yi's eyes showed admiration.
"Also," Mrs. Xu hesitated, "I've figured out whether Qi Hao is really injured or fake." ”
Mama Yi pointed to the side of the guide and said, "Isn't it..."
Mrs. Xu nodded and sighed: "We can only rely on that side... Although it is to drink doves to quench your thirst, there is no way to do it... There is also Brother Yu's marriage, I have to rush to do it, in case Qi Hao... According to the rules, you have to abide by it for three years. Zhou Xiu'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, for so many years, she is lying next to Wei Zhengrong like a dog. I don't believe she didn't have a plan, Qi Xiao has been leading the troops with Qi Hao all the year round... Without Xizhao's support, without the Fang family and the Xu family maneuvering around, we will be struggling at that time, who knows what will happen again..."
Just when Mrs. Except was talking to Mama Yi with a cold face. Mrs. Wei was reclining on the pillow on the big kang ground, staring straight at Gu Xiyan.
"Drink it!"
Her voice was languid, even a little sarcastic.
Bao Niang on the side brought the small enamel bowl painted with the pattern of plum spring in the tray to Gu Xiyan.
Dark blue glaze. The jet-black juice with the smell of the middle leaves.
Gu Xiyan replied with a low "yes", took the bowl and drank it all.
Mrs. Wei's reclining body sat up straight with her head raised, and her lazy expression became solemn.
Gu Xiyan drank the juice, unhurriedly took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then pinched a piece of maple sugar from the tray and put it in his mouth.
The maple syrup, the size of a soybean grain, quickly suppressed the bitterness in the mouth.
Gu Xiyan calmly bowed to Mrs. Wei. He said softly, "Madame, do you have any other orders?" ”
Mrs. Wei's face was as bright as the sun.
"I can't see it, my son still knows what is good jade and what is bad bamboo shoots!"
Gu Xiyan smiled silently.
Mrs. Wei stared at her for a moment, then waved her hand.
"Go down! There's still a lot to prepare! ”
Gu Xiyan bowed her knees with a calm expression. Then quit going down.
Mrs. Wei saw Gu Xiyan's figure disappear outside the curtain. He let out a long sigh.
Bao Niang put away the small bowl and said with a smile: "Madam, you can rest assured now." He's a clever kid! ”
Mrs. Wei said helplessly: "What kind of heart! I don't know where he got it from, if only he had a better background. You say, if he had his eye on Mei'er, how nice it would be! ”
"You!" Bao Niang smiled, "When the master refuses to accept people in the room." You don't dislike girls and maids. Now that you are finally willing to continue the strings, you have to pick and choose again! ”
Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows: "I don't think she has anything else." It's just that I'm too young... At the beginning, Ye Zisu didn't marry at this age..."
Bao Niang put the tray in her hand on the side of the kang, and then whispered in Mrs. Wei's ear: "That night, it was dusk, and I didn't come back until the early morning..."
"I know," Mrs. Wei interrupted Bao Niang's words impatiently, frowning, "There is also a table of dishes served in the small kitchen in the outer courtyard, and nothing else is done!" ”
Bao Niang covered her mouth and grinned: "That day, but I went to answer the door." The two of them walked to the door, but they didn't come in, and I stood in the cold wind and waited for almost an hour before the two of them came in hand in hand. Ye looked at the door she entered, like that, tsk, you really didn't see it..."
Mrs. Wei's body has been moving, and she has a sense of interest: "Really? The two of them are standing outside the door talking? What do you hear? ”
Bao Niang smiled and shook her head: "Master is also a practitioner, and I don't dare to get too close." Think about it, Ye Duo has talked so much to people? ”
Mrs. Wei nodded: "That's it!" Speaking of this, she couldn't help showing a hesitant expression on her face, and said in a low voice: "Bao Niang, you say, do you want to call a grandmother to tell her about the wedding night..."
Bao Niang hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't, don't, don't." Ma'am, you can't do this again. You don't know your temper..."
As soon as Mrs. Wei heard this, the green tendons on her sideburns exploded: "He has a temper, but I don't have a temper." You were there, and you listened to what he was saying. ”
As she spoke, she learned Qi Maosheng's cold tone and said: "Miss Gu is your niece and nephew, anyway, the one hundred and twenty acres of land are also placed, it is better to reward her as a dowry, you also have face." ”
Bao Niang forced a smile. Mrs. Wei shouted angrily: "Listen, listen, is this what the son said to his mother?" Oh, he took my dowry to make face for her, how could he not think about how it was not easy for his mother for so many years. The monthly routine of Gongzhong is twenty taels of silver, and there are so many of us who have twenty taels of silver, and we don't rely on the Wei family to get silver. Don't rely on my dowry, what to eat, what to drink. ”
Bao Niang hurriedly stepped forward and covered Mrs. Wei's mouth.
"Be quiet, ma'am! Don't shout that the east knows, or it will spread all over the sky! ”
Mrs. Wei angrily knocked down Bao Niang's hand that was covering her mouth. glanced at Bao Niang.
"When I hit Gaochang, it wasn't just a word from me. Let the Wei family move out all the silver in the cellar for him as a military salary, that is what our Wei family ancestors have saved for hundreds of years, and more than 100 cars have been used to pull the silver! Am I the stingy one? He even told me that for the New Year's Festival, you should also make her some clothes that can see people. Ah, didn't I do it for her? I took out the silk from the storehouse, and those were the tributes of Xizhao for two hundred and twenty-one years, and I didn't even want to use them myself..." But the voice is still a lot quieter.
"You say. How did I raise such a weird son? Everywhere is different from people, everything is different from people. His father is not this temperament, he has a gloomy face all day long, as if someone owes him a few hundred taels of silver, you are looking at the wedding date he chose, the fourteenth, I only heard that he wants to choose a double. I haven't heard of the choice four. Who's with him, you say? Where am I an adopted son? It's a tiger cub, a white-eyed wolf... deliberately took out his mother's money and gave flowers to his daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door..."
Bao Niang laughed: "When Mrs. Ye was here before, you didn't think your master would hurt people. Now Miss Gu, you think you have it again... I forgot about my mother. ”
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she was angry: "It's okay if you don't mention it, but if you mention it, you should say that this is not what I said as a mother." I really don't understand, when he was a child, I taught him to practice the Shura Gate's Yang Burning Technique, that cultivation is the Extreme Strength to Yang Qi, logically speaking, energy and physical strength should be very good, why can't you lower a Ye Shisu? Giving birth to a child is like asking him to lay a golden egg..."
Bao Niang's face turned red and she shouted slightly angrily, "Madam." ”
Mrs. Wei sighed helplessly.
"Good, good, good. You blame me, you all blame me, can't I stop talking! lest there be something to happen to the two of them, and they say that I have brought them out of the land. Forget it, I don't care. As the saying goes, don't be stupid, don't be deaf, don't be a Weng. ”
Bao Niang smiled and packed up the tray and walked out.
Mrs. Wei stopped her: "That guy, remember to serve her to eat." That's a good thing to keep the foundation into..."
Bao Niang showed a wry smile on her face: "Got it." I will definitely serve her well and ensure that she will give birth to a big fat grandson smoothly! ”
Mrs. Wei was complaining, and the chief steward of the Wei family was also complaining to Wei Lingyun's eldest son, Wei Shijian, with a long list of lists.
"Young Master, it's three days, it's the New Year's Festival, and there is no market, so it's impossible for me to prepare so many things!"
Wei Shijian looks like thirty-five or six, tall and strong, handsome, three or four points similar to Qi Hao in his eyes, with two black mustaches, bright eyes, very neat and shrewd and capable.
He stroked his beard and smiled, "There's no way around it." It really didn't work, so Dongxi opened the treasury and took out the old lady, the wife's dowry, and the treasury of the ancestors in the family. It's nothing else, and within three days, everything has to be done. ”
The chief manager got such an accurate letter, and he felt a good deal, and then he felt that he had some spectrum. He perked up, answered, and went down to prepare.
Wei Shijian saw that the chief manager had gone down, turned around and entered the side room next to him.
Wei Lingyun was taking care of the wound on his head under the service of the two girls, and when he saw his son coming in, he said "um" and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Wei Shijian said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will do my best to do this errand well, and I will never let my aunt and you lose face." ”
"Well," Wei Lingyun leaned his head and let the two little girls wrap the white cloth around their heads, "You know the severity!" ”
After the two girls finished cleaning up, they bent their knees to give the Wei father and son a blessing and retreated.
Wei Shijian personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to his father, and said, "Your head, do you want to find a doctor to take a look!" ”
After kowtowing and kneeling in front of the Qi Mansion for an hour or two, Wei Lingyun was indeed confused. He took the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and then he felt better. Hearing his son ask, he said a faint "um" and said, "Now is the time to care about this." Hurry up and let someone clean up the Furong Xuan over there, and Miss Gu will stay here tonight. You are also ready to prepare, the marriage letter will be completed in these two days, your aunt's meaning, let you go to see off your relatives on behalf of your mother's family! ”
Wei Shijian replied and said, "What do you have to say to Grandpa Guo!" ”
