Chapter 59: Self-inflicted humiliation
"Huh? What is he doing here? Wasn't he preparing for the imperial examinations? It's not like I'm supposed to be in a college in the capital, and I'm so busy that I can't leave. Xie Ying asked.
"My mother doesn't know much about this, anyway, your grandfather and your father agreed, so they must have something to do."
"Oh, okay. No matter what, I'll go to Wei Qingruo first and tell her that my mother has agreed to our medicine field, and I'm going to do it right away! ”
Xie Ying ran back to the school in a hurry, found Wei Ruo, and told her the news.
"Wei Qingruo, my mother has already agreed, when can we start working?" Xie Ying was eager to try.
"Right away." Wei Ruo likes this style of doing things without delay.
"Then tell me what we are going to do now, how to arrange the work, what we need to buy, and how many people we need." Xie Ying sat down next to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo took out a pen and paper and explained to Xie Ying while marking the key points on the paper.
Xie Ying listened very carefully, and brought up something she didn't understand, looking serious and studious.
After finishing the work, I took the paper written by Wei Ruo and went to Mrs. Xie to borrow someone, and officially started to work, which was extremely efficient.
###
Also efficient was Chu Lan, who only sent a grandmother to the school captain's mansion to discuss the affairs of the south of the city with Wei Ruo.
For this reason, Wei Ruo specially asked Mr. Wang for leave and stayed at home to arrange various things.
Mr. Wang did not arbitrarily object to this, and told Wei Ruo that what she was doing now was also part of her learning.
Seeing the grandmother sent by Chu Lan, the Yun family was shocked, and intuitively knew that the other party's background was not half a star different from his own grandmother.
In addition, her husband reminded her last night that the noble person's identity was not ordinary, and asked her to pay attention to proportion.
After the Yun family heard that the other party's surname was Chu, they already knew a thing or two, and the people in the royal family, even if they were not favored by the prince's family, they could not afford to provoke them.
The Yun clan respectfully led the grandmother sent by Chu Lan to listen to Songyuan, and then told Wei Ruo to leave in time, so as not to delay Wei Ruo and Grandma to talk about business.
"The old slave has seen Miss Wei." When Mama Qin saw Wei Ruo, she saluted with a respectful attitude, but her bearing was undiminished, and she looked particularly majestic.
Wei Ruo knew that most of the grandmothers sent by Chu Lan were from the palace, and they were different from ordinary grandmothers.
Although the Zhongyi Earl's Mansion is an earl's palace, even in its heyday, it cannot be compared with the rules of the palace, not to mention that it has long been down.
"No need to be polite." Wei Ruodao, "Your son-in-law sent you here to assist me, and please don't pay much attention to the rules next to you, just convey my intentions and let the people below complete the task well." ”
"Miss Wei, please rest assured, Gongzi has already explained to the old slave, the old slave should do his best to assist Miss Wei wholeheartedly, Miss Wei has any things that the old slave needs to do, as long as it is related to the reclamation of wasteland in the south of the city, you can order the old slave, and the old slave will arrange someone to complete it."
Although Mama Qin's own rules are very strict, she has no problem with Wei Ruo, let alone find fault with Wei Ruo, she can tell what she is doing, her master thinks highly of people with two points, and she will not find fault with her rules.
Mama Qin was talking to Wei Ruo when Wei Qingwan suddenly entered the Listening Song Garden.
"Sister." Wei Qingwan came to Wei Ruo and called sweetly.
Wei Ruo's eyes lit up and looked at Wei Qingwan.
The so-called nothing is not on the Three Treasures Palace, after the oolong incident of the Xie family's study, Wei Qingwan has not been to listen to Songyuan, what kind of wind is blowing today, blowing her over?
"Sister, I brought some osmanthus cakes to you." Wei Qingwan was holding a delicate food box in her hand, and when she opened it, it was her specialty pastry, osmanthus cake.
"You wait a while, I'll talk to you after talking to Mama Qin."
Wei Ruo didn't know what Wei Qingwan was singing, she didn't want to talk to Wei Qingwan more, for fear that after saying a few words, Wei Qingwan would say something that would make her feel disgusted and make her laugh in front of outsiders.
Wei Qingwan nodded slightly, but did not leave, just waited by the side.
At this time, Mama Qin spoke, and she looked at Wei Qingwan: "This is the second lady in the house, right?" ”
Seeing Mama Qin looking at herself, Wei Qingwan looked shy, lowered her head slightly, and replied softly, "Yes." ”
Who would have thought that Mama Qin then said: "Please also ask the second lady to avoid it, I have something to discuss with the eldest lady, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to observe." ”
Wei Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly changed her words: "In this way, then I really didn't come here, then I'll go to the side and wait for my sister first." ”
"The second miss is really unlucky, I should know that I want to come to the captain's mansion today, I don't know why the second miss didn't come early or late, so I chose to come at this time." Mama Qin's words were not tactful at all.
What Mama Qin said was exactly what Wei Ruo was thinking, Wei Qingwan's actions today were really strange, because Chu Lan's identity was special, he sent a mama by his side, and the school captain's mansion was serious, and the Yun family had already told the people in the family to be careful, and even Yingzhuyuan had received the news, it was impossible for Wei Qingwan not to know.
Wei Qingwan knew it clearly, but she chose this time to see Wei Ruo, to say that she had no other intentions, Wei Ruo didn't believe it.
But if she had other ideas, it would be a little too stupid.
It's true that Mama Qin is the person next to Chu Lan, but no matter what, she is just a mama, could it be that she thinks that she behaves better in front of Mama, and Mama will say a few nice words to Chu Lan when she goes back? Is she a matchmaker when she is a mother?
If the three aunts and six women in the village are reasonable, but Mama Qin is the first grandmother from the palace.
The royal grandmother is very well-behaved, where would she do such an inexplicable thing.
Wei Ruo remembered that although Wei Qingwan in the original book was beautiful and miserable, she was not stupid, could it be that she was missing the foil of her supporting role, or she failed to fall in love with Chu Lan at the original time and caused her to have a bad brain?
I've only heard that love makes people blind, but I haven't heard that not falling in love can make people blind.
After listening to Mama Qin's words, Wei Qingwan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained: "Mama, don't be angry, I don't mean to eavesdrop on my sister's speech, I don't know that Mama's conversation with my sister can't be known to outsiders, I'm just worried that my sister won't entertain well, so I specially brought some pastries I made over to have a look." ”
"With all due respect, the eldest lady is the second lady's sister-in-law, and the second miss said to me, an outsider, that she was worried that the eldest lady would not entertain me well, what did she want to tell others?"
Mama Qin is worthy of being a person from the palace, her mind is exquisite, and she heard Wei Qingwan's words hidden in those words as soon as she heard it.
Wei Qingwan was suddenly embarrassed and indignant, and hurriedly explained: "Mama, you misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else, it was my improper use of words, which caused the misunderstanding." ”
