Chapter 33: The Outer Room

In front of the Yuji Noodle Restaurant, Li Qingyi and Wei Laner got out of the carriage one after the other.

Li Qingyi said to Xianglan: "You don't like to eat this, so go around and eat something next to you, and come back to us later." ”

Xiang Lan said happily, "Yes, girl." ”

The others went into the aftermath together.

Wei Laner obviously liked the noodles in this house very much, and he asked for three bowls by himself, which caused other customers to look at him frequently.

"These three kinds of noodles are my favorite food, as long as they are the same, I have been thinking about the other two, so I just want them all."

Li Qingyi said: "It's nothing, I often do this, use a small bowl to serve some, and the rest is for the girls to eat, it's not a waste." ”

When Wei Lan'er heard this, he asked the shopkeeper to bring three small bowls over, put out the amount of food he had eaten, and then said to the girls, "You can take the rest and eat it." ”

"Thank you, girl!"

In the past, they came with them, and it was not good to sit and eat with the master, they were all waiting on the sidelines, but I didn't expect Miss Li to be so approachable, and she suddenly had a little more affection for her, and even envied her maidservant.

Miss Li not only knows the taste of her personal girl, but also lets her go out to find her favorite food!

When everyone had almost eaten, Woad also came back from outside, and nodded at Li Qingyi quietly.

Li Qingyi nodded her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Let's go buy some snacks and take them back to the house to honor the old lady." ”

Wei Laner nodded, and the group came out with the aftermath.

The shop selling dim sum was on the next street, not far away, and a few people walked to that side, and halfway through, Wei Laner suddenly stopped, and then turned around and pulled Li Qingyi to hide in the corner.

Li Qingyi pretended not to know what was going on and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sister Li, look at the one in front, is it my second uncle?"

Li Qingyi raised his eyes and looked over.

A man in a long shirt with a beard on his lips and chin walked in front, holding a little boy of four or five years old in his arms.

"I'm not familiar with your second uncle, I can't see it, and how can Second Master Wei have such a young child?"

The second young master and the third young master from the second lady are twins, and they are both eleven this year.

"No, that's my second uncle."

Wei Laner heard the little boy shouting "Daddy" in a milky voice, staring at the two figures in front of him in shock, as if he had broken some earth-shattering secret, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked.

"The second aunt shows off in the house all day long how considerate and dedicated the second uncle is to her, and even the words of this plaice are spread all over the capital! If she knew that her second uncle had given birth to another son outside, she didn't know if she would be mad? ”

Li Qingyi asked, "Sister Lan'er, do you want to reveal this matter to the second lady?" ”

Wei Laner had a look of "they are unkind, I can't be unjust", "Sister Li, this matter has happened, sooner or later the second aunt must know, instead of waiting for this little doll to grow up and then fight with the second brother and third brother for the father, it is better to let the second aunt prepare as soon as possible, whether to go to the mother and stay with the son or to be an aunt in the house, you should always plan to plan, right?" ”

Li Qingyi nodded: "What my sister said is right, that's the truth." ”

Wei Lan'er turned around and instructed Bishu: "You go along and see, it's best to find out where the little doll's mother is, whether it is the outer room of the second uncle, be careful not to be discovered." ”

"Yes, slave and maid know."

Wei Lan'er deliberately wanted to avoid Wei Baozhu today, lest she take advantage of the topic to play, so she didn't plan to go back so early.

The two went to buy a few snacks that Mrs. Wei loved, and then took a carriage all the way to the West Market, wanting to make up for the trip to the West Market that was not enjoyable yesterday.

After shopping until the afternoon, both of them bought a lot of things, and then returned to Wei Mansion satisfied.

Wei Laner asked the little girl: "Is my mother back?" ”

"Back to the girl, the third lady has returned."

Wei Lan'er was anxious to tell the third lady about the outer room of the second room, so he said to Li Qingyi: "Sister Li, we'll see you in Heyan Hall later." ”

Li Qingyi smiled and nodded.

Back at the Maoxiang Courtyard, Li Qingyi called Changning Chang Lang over.

"I've been out of the house for most of the day, what happened in the house?"

Changning immediately bowed forward and replied: "After the second girl Wei heard that her two personal big girls committed suicide in fear of sin, she cried very sadly in front of Mrs. Wei. ”

Chang Yan continued: "Second Lady Wei took the initiative to release Ling'er Long'er's family, gave her a deed of sale, and wrote some silver taels for them to return to their hometown for resettlement. ”

Everything was as Li Qingyi expected.

She looked at the two girls with satisfaction and said, "In the past two days, I have seen that you are acting steadily and peacefully, and you are a good one, so I will be promoted to a second-class maid and serve me by my side." ”

Changning Chang's spirit was shocked, "Yes, slaves and maids thank you for your support!" ”

Li Qingyi looked at the two with a smile.

Qin Zeng must have confessed, and let them keep an eye on her all the time.

She deliberately didn't take them with her, wanting to see what they did.

As a result, these two girls didn't thorn or toss, she did whatever she told her to do, and she knew how to measure herself.

"Woad Lan Xuanwu, after you, one will stay in the Xiangxiang Courtyard, and the other will go out with me, and so will Changning Changlang. As for who stays and who follows me, it depends. ”

"Yes, slaves and maids understand."

Changning Chang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The adults asked them to come over to spy on Miss Li, but after all, they were in the Wei Mansion, and they were too dazzling to act badly, and if Miss Li didn't take them with them, they could only report truthfully, and ask Qin Zeng to show them.

Now that Miss Li is willing to cooperate, they don't have to make trouble without being a moth, and they can also deal with adults.

As for why adults suddenly want to know all the whereabouts of a young lady, it's not something they should worry about.

After dinner, each room went to Heyan Hall to say goodbye.

Everyone else is fine, but the second master came over and took a turn to leave: "My son still has official business to deal with, so I won't stay longer, stay a few days and be free, and then come to accompany my mother." ”

A few days ago, the city was clogged with heavy rains, and the Ministry of Industry is stepping up repairs.

Second Master Wei is now working on an errand in the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for civil engineering and water conservancy construction, and it seems that it has a lot of power and a lot of oil and water, but usually the money is in the hands of the household department and the power is in the hands of the emperor.

Therefore, the Ministry of Engineering is busy, which is a good thing for Second Master Wei.

Old Madam Wei waved her hand, "You go." ”

Second Master Wei bent down and saluted, then retreated, without looking at the second lady.

The second lady wanted to give a few words, but the words were stuck in her throat.

The third lady smiled: "It seems that the second uncle is really busy with his feet and can't take care of anything." In the past, I still have to be told by my second sister-in-law carefully before I can go out with peace of mind! ”

The second lady is proud, this has always been one of the things she is most proud of, the sister-in-law is restless every day because of the things in the back house, and the man who favors her is only dedicated to her, more than ten years like a day, and now the children are older, but the second master still treats her as if she was newly married.

Usually walking down the street, she feels that she is three points superior to the woman next to her.

"Our lord has been really busy these days, he can't even take care of eating, and he was even more tired last night and fell asleep directly in the study in the front yard."

The third lady looked at her implicit show-off expression, hooked her lips and smiled, and changed her words, "By the way, two days ago, the girl next to me said that she saw the second uncle in the wick alley, and she also held a four or five-year-old boy in her arms, very close, I don't know who it is......"
