Not long after Wei Luo returned home, she received a pair of shoes from Zhao Jie.
The maid who delivered the things was a girl on duty in the tea room who had just entered the house. She was about twelve or thirteen years old. "The maidservant's name is Yueli. If the fourth lady has any orders in the future, she can summon the maidservant directly."
Wei Luo didn't expect Zhao Jie to be so blatant that he even installed his people in the British government. To put it bluntly, Yueli is the messenger between them. If there is anything, the ward will call Yueli in advance. He is so brave! Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the British government
Fortunately, there was no one in the room at this time, only two girls, Jin Lu and Bai Lan, and no one else dared to come in casually. Wei Luo stared at the shoe molds on the small table with red lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlaid, her face was quite calm, "I see, you go down." In fact, he longed to poke Zhao Jie's face with a needle, because he was pushing an inch.
After Yueli went down, Bai Lan hurriedly turned around and closed the door, walked back to Wei Luo and said, "Miss, why did His Royal Highness Prince Jing give you this? That girl..."
It was Jin Lu who was smart, and interrupted Bai Lan: "That girl doesn't look easy, she should be reliable."
Wei Luo mistook the shoes for Zhao Jie, stared twice, and said to Jin Lu and Bai Lan, "I promised to make a pair of shoes for him. Put these things away, and don't tell anyone what happened today."
Both Jin Lu and Bai Lan are well-measured people, they don't gossip with others. Besides, Wei Luo and Zhao Jie are both engaged, so making a pair of shoes for their future husband is not out of the ordinary, even if others know about it. If it's too much, it's too much because Zhao Jie has placed an eyeliner in the British government, which makes Wei Luo look too closely.
No wonder Wei Luo was unhappy.
If she knew that Zhao Jie had let Yang Hao watch over her every step of the way, she would definitely turn against Zhao Jie.
It was still raining outside the window, but it was not as urgent as when I first came back. The rain was pattering on the window sills, splashing up puffs of mist, and falling on the back of the hands was chilly. There are puddles of water in the courtyard, reflecting the shadows of the trees, giving a feeling of emptiness and reality. There was still no movement in the main room. It seemed that Wei Kun hadn't come back yet, otherwise someone should have come to greet him with an umbrella.
"Miss was drenched in the rain when I came back just now, I'd better take a hot bath to drive away the cold, otherwise I'll be sick the next day." Jin Lu stepped forward and said to her mother-in-law while closing the window.
Wei Luo nodded after drinking a cup of jujube and ginger tea.
A few drops of Han's sweet-scented osmanthus essence were added to the bathtub, which smelled elegant and pleasant. When Wei Luo came out of the shower, her whole body was covered with a pleasant and faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. She put on a green veil embroidered with grape pattern lace, her thick black hair was draped behind her wetly, she sat on the couch by the south window, and asked casually: "Has my father come back?"
Jin Lu stepped forward to gather her hair, and combed it gently with a comb, "Miss Hui, it didn't take long for you to go in, and the master came back."
When Wei Kun came back, his complexion was very ugly, even more gloomy than the sky outside. The servants in the pine garden had never seen him like this, and they didn't know how angry they were. error.
Jin Lu glanced at Wei Luo quietly, and couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Miss, that person on the street just now..."
Jin Lu heard the conversation between Wei Luo and Jiang Miaolan, and the phrase "Ninny, I'm your mother" scared both her and Bai Lan. But seeing Wei Luo's appearance that he didn't want to mention it, the two of them didn't dare to ask more questions, they just kept guessing in their hearts.
Now that Wei Luo's face has softened a bit, Jin Lu dared to bring it up again.
Wei Luo hugged her knees, rested her chin on them, stared at the scene outside the window, and said lazily, "Don't ask too many questions, just do what you should do."
Jin Lu knew that she was presumptuous, so she hurriedly said: "It's the servant who is talking too much."
After a while, there was movement from the main room. Wei Kun called the third grandfather Wei Chang into the room.
After Wei Luo's hair was dried, she stepped down from Luo Hantao, put on powder-soled white flowered pearl embroidered shoes and went out. Standing at the door, she happened to hear Wei Kun's voice from the window of the main room: "Why did you say that to her?" If so, why did you lie to her?!"
The servant outside the door buried his head deeply, his body was tense, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
Wei Luo leaned against the carved hanging flower door, her eyelids lifted slightly, her fan-like eyelashes drooped wearily, casting a half-circle shadow on her jade-white face. When she looked up again, she saw Wei Changhong wearing a brocade robe with sapphire blue ganoderma lucidum pattern, coming to her and asking, "Who is daddy arguing with, and why is he so angry?"
Thinking about it, Chang Hong also heard something, so he came back early from Mr. Xue on purpose.
Wei Luo raised her eyes and said slowly, "Daddy is talking to third uncle." She turned her head to look at Chang Hong, blinked and asked, "Who do you think can make Daddy lose his temper like this?"
Wei Changhong frowned, and heard something from Wei Luo's words.
Holding an ivory-handled dagger inlaid with gold in his hand, Wei Kun cut off a corner of the black lacquer openworked lotus-patterned table, and said firmly, "From now on, the brotherhood between you and me will be like this table. "
Not long after, Wei Chang walked out of the main room expressionlessly, seemingly calm, but his teeth were almost bleeding.
Wei Luo and Wei Changhong watched this scene silently, not knowing whether to persuade them or wait and see.
Wei Kun was obviously still angry, and ordered someone to call Mrs. Du from Ginkgo Garden. Mrs. Du hadn't been out of that courtyard for many years, and now he had to take a step forward, looking at the British government, it was completely unfamiliar, and many places were not what they used to be. Wearing a white-washed silver-gray crepe beige, Du Shi followed behind the servant step by step. He glanced at Wei Luo in the upper corridor and hurriedly moved away. He didn't have the confident and dignified appearance at the beginning. ? She looks like an ordinary woman, even worse than that.
Mrs. Du didn't know why Wei Kun asked her to come here at first, and she still had the idea of taking her out of the ginkgo garden out of conscience. Who would have thought that Wei Kun's words would dispel all her joy, "What did you say?"
Wei Kun didn't start, now even looking at her feels superfluous, "Let someone prepare their pen and ink, I'm going to divorce you."
Divorcing a wife was not a trivial matter in the Liang Dynasty. If a woman was divorced and returned home, it would ruin her whole life. Not only would it embarrass her natal family, but it would also implicate all the unmarried girls in her natal family. Moreover, the divorced woman will not have a good life when she returns to her natal family. It is impossible for Mrs. Du to remarry at this age, so she can only go home and be an aunt, which will annoy her natal family after a long time.
What's more, after Mrs. Du returned to her natal family, she had no chance to meet Wei Changmi. Wei Changmi was the young master of the fourth bedroom, so it was impossible for her to go back to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion with her. Mrs. Du stayed in the British government and had the opportunity to see Chang Mi once a month. If she was dismissed and returned to Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, she would never see Wei Changmi again in this life.
No wonder Du Shi had such a big reaction.
But Wei Kun was determined to divorce her, so he picked up a brush and wrote two big characters "Letter of Divorce" on the rice paper, starting again, writing that Du's "heart is vicious, sinister and jealous", and divorced his wife in the name of Qichu. This is an extremely serious crime. It seems that Wei Kun does not intend to keep any sympathy, let alone worry about the relationship between the two families. He only wants to punish Du Shi, a vicious person, to vent his hatred.
Du looked at Wei Kun with a pale face, and after he finished writing the divorce letter, she shook her head in despair, "Wei Kun, no..."
Wei Kun folded the letter of divorce and put it in the skirt of his clothes, and walked out of the main room, "I'll go to the front and tell my mother that the people from Uncle Zhongyi's residence will come to pick you up today."
Du Shi came back to his senses, chased him out and said, "Then you give me back Mi Ge'er and let me take him away!"
Wei Kun said without turning his head: "Brother Mi is the son of the fourth sister-in-law, and I cannot be the master of the fourth sister-in-law."
Du sternly said: "Mi Ge'er is mine, and I was born in October. Wei Kun, stop for me!"
Wei Kun walked farther and farther, and said to the young man beside him: "Look at Mrs. Du, don't let her wander around."
The servant nodded, turned around and ordered, and immediately two servants stopped Mrs. Du and brought him back to the house.
Pine Garden finally regained its calm, the rain was over, and the yard was very quiet.
After watching the good show, Wei Luo rubbed her eyes and said, "Chang Hong, guess who I saw today?"
Standing beside her, Wei Changhong had already grown into the appearance of a zhilanyushu, and asked calmly, "Jiang Miaolan?"
Wei Luo turned her head in surprise, with a "how do you know" expression on her face.
"Last time at Daci Temple, when you were asking for the peace talisman in the Daxiong Palace, I saw it outside." Wei Changhong also saw Jiang Miaolan's portrait. Although Wei Kun avoided them, he took them out too often. It's hard not to see. When Wei Changhong saw Jiang Miaolan for the first time, he was taken aback. At first he thought it was just a resemblance, but today when he heard Wei Luo asking about it on purpose, and thinking about Wei Kun's reaction today, it was not difficult to guess what was going on. "Has she come back? Have you spoken to her?"
Wei Luo pursed her lips, as if she was talking about the weather, "She's already married, so she probably won't go back to the Duke's mansion." She blinked and asked Chang Hong with a smile: "Chang Hong, do you want a mother? Do you want to?" Let her come back?"
Wei Changhong said lightly: "I thought about it when I was a child, but now I don't need it anymore."
Wei Luo smiled slightly, "Me too."
Jiang Miaolan didn't show up when Wei Luo was abducted by the Du family, Jiang Miaolan didn't show up when Wei Luo died in her previous life, and Jiang Miaolan didn't show up when Chang Hong's future was ruined by Li Song and Li Xiang's joint efforts, so she doesn't have to show up again in the future.
Cotton jackets in summer, cattail fans in winter, late maternal love, these are superfluous.
On that day, two major events happened in the British government. One was that the Fifth Lord divorced Mrs. Du, and someone from Mr. Zhongyi's mansion picked Mrs. Du away. The other thing is that the third master sent the third wife to the temple, saying that it was for Mrs. Liu to meditate on the Buddha. In fact, everyone in the mansion knew that the third master and the third wife were divorced, and life would be difficult. If it was not for Miss Ji My son is not married, and I still have to see the marriage for my sister and son. Maybe Wei Chang will also divorce his wife.
After seeing off the Du family and the Liu family, the British government finally became a lot quieter.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is gradually entering winter. Early in the morning, Wei Luo was wearing a red satin and golden peony-patterned fox fur cloak, and stood barefoot on the stile. When he opened the window, he saw the whiteness outside the courtyard. It's the first snow of the year.
Jin Lu opened the door and walked in. Seeing Wei Luo's bare feet, she made a fuss and said, "Why doesn't Miss wear shoes? It's very cold on the ground, it's not good if it's freezing."
Wei Luo tilted her head and smiled, "There are earth dragons burning in the room, and there are so many charcoal fire pots, I still feel hot, how can I feel cold."
Even so, Jin Lu was still worried, and helped her to sit on the couch by the south window, and put on soft satin embroidered shoes for her. When he raised his eyes, he accidentally saw the pair of shoe soles on the couch with red lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl on the kang table. He couldn't help but joked, "It's been so long, did Miss just accept a pair of shoe soles? It seems that His Highness Prince Jing will be able to do so in the spring next year." Put on new shoes."
Wei Luo took a look at the soles of the shoes in his hand, and said intentionally, "I originally planned to give them to him in the spring, and I don't know how to make winter boots. It's so thick, I'm afraid my fingers might break it."
Jin Lu chuckled, knowing that her young lady was the most delicate, if His Highness Prince Jing knew that the young lady had poked needles in her fingers several times to make a pair of shoes for him, maybe he would feel distressed.
