When Mr. Wei returned to the mansion, Madam Wei had already calmed down. She took a pen and ink and started to draw on paper.
Mrs. Wei's painting skills are not high, but she practiced diligently when she was not out of the cabinet. Later, she married into the Hou's mansion. Although her husband is a scholar, his mind is full of imperial examinations, and he has no intention of painting at all. It seems that she has no intention of remarrying. Mrs. Wei has to deal with the affairs of the house, take care of her husband's siblings, and take care of her husband who forgets the time when he starts reading. She is so busy. In the blink of an eye, I haven't painted for more than ten years.
But after writing, I only feel that the clouds are flowing, and there is no shackles.
Mammy stood on the side fanning her all the time, watching the appearance of a girl gradually being depicted on the rice paper.
His hair is not very long, his eyes are big, he is thin and weak, and looks very small. He is sitting on the grass with a smile, and his big black eyes are timid and mischievous.
Although it is not carefully described, the cute and well-behaved meaning is fully expressed.
She couldn't help but praised, "I didn't expect Madam to be able to paint, and she paints so well."
Seeing that Mrs. Wei put away the pen, picked up the rice paper, and stared blankly at the girl in the painting, the mother asked curiously, "Which family does the child in this painting belong to? Why can't this old servant remember where I saw it?"
She has been waiting around since Mrs. Wei entered the door. It is not an exaggeration to say that the time spent together by the two of them is longer than Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei. It can be said who Mrs. Wei sees and what she does every day. Mammy decided to be clear.
It's just, why doesn't she have any image of giving birth in her mind
Mrs. Wei stretched out her hand, caressing the edges and corners of the rice paper, her eyes seemed gentle and sad, "She is one of my younger sisters."
"It's just that I won't see it again in the future."
Can't see it anymore? Are you married far away
Mammy still wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the voice of a maid saluting came from outside, it was Master Wei who had returned.
"Jiaoniang, you are in such a good mood today, are you painting?"
Mr. Wei still had a lot of things in his heart, but looking at his wife, he still hid them all, and while changing under the maid's clothes, he said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we went shopping together. The garden is gone, why don't we go out together for a while?"
If it was before, Mrs. Wei would definitely agree, but today, she looked down at the paintings on the table and shook her head slightly, "I have a headache today, so I still won't go out."
Because she thought of her younger sister who died young, she really didn't have the thought to have a romantic relationship with her husband.
Master Wei was taken aback for a moment, since Jiao Niang married him, she almost never had any intention of rejecting him.
Could it be that he still misunderstood the matter of the foster room last time
She winked at the people in the room, and Mammy understood immediately, she led the waiters to salute, and then they all retreated.
When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Mr. Wei coughed dryly, walked to his wife, and asked in a warm voice, "Young lady, are you still misunderstood?"
"If you don't believe me, you can swear to your husband..."
Seeing her husband explaining so earnestly, Madam Wei softened her heart, followed Master Wei's wish and held his hand, saying, "This is not what I am a concubine for."
"How is the master, the concubine will naturally believe it. If the master says no, naturally there is no."
Seeing his wife, who has always known the general idea, praise him so much, Master Wei couldn't help but feel flustered for a few seconds, "Since it's not for this, why does Jiaoniang look so sad?"
He immediately began to search for things in his mind that could make his wife a headache.
"But Zifeng is messing around outside again? Which family's children are you fighting with again?"
Mrs. Wei was a little amused, "Master forgot again, the second brother has been living in Zhuangzi for almost half a year. A few days ago, I heard that the master is coming back, and I am delivering a letter saying that I will come home."
Unlike Mr. Wei, Mrs. Wei never felt that the second brother was ignorant. She just thought that he was more playful and troubled. Some things were clearer than anyone else. Regardless of the matter, it doesn't sound good for my uncle and sister-in-law to go out alone, so Wei Zifeng excused himself to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate and avoid going out. He stayed outside for half a year as soon as he went out. If Master Wei didn't come back, he didn't know how to stay. how long.
Although there is only a ten-year age difference between the two, Mrs. Wei treats him like her own son, after all, he was brought up by her.
Master Wei was a little embarrassed. He has been in chaos and busy since he came back, and he had long forgotten about his younger brother's going to live in Zhuangzi.
"Is that worrying about Zining's dowry?"
Master Wei immediately thought of his younger sister again. She had just decided on her marriage a while ago. Although Mrs. Ziwei married and began to prepare for the dowry, but because the person who made the appointment was regarded as their high ranking, the original dowry had to be increased.
Mrs. Wei shook her head again, "It's not about these things, it's just that I dreamed about my younger sister who died young last night, and it's just a little sad."
Sister who died young
Master Wei never thought that the answer would be this. He looked down at the painting on the table, and it was indeed a thin little girl. You think about it every day and dream at night, do you think of her during the day?"
Mrs. Wei nodded, "That's true, but the dream was too real. In the dream, the concubine gave her the jade pendant that was close to her..."
Before she finished speaking, Master Wei's body became stiff all of a sudden.
He immediately remembered that when he woke up this morning, the lady said that the jade pendant had disappeared.
"Could it be that it's the jade pendant that I didn't see today?"
"That's right, I'm thinking about... Master?"
Master Wei didn't have time to think about anything, he grabbed his wife's hand and walked into the old man's yard.
If he had heard about this before, he would have said it was a coincidence, but after experiencing the day before yesterday and yesterday, Master Wei has sublimated.
This is definitely a ghost!
absolute!
When Mr. Wei and the others came, the old man was giving ideological education to the girl curled up under the tree.
"My sister has seen it too, and she has said what she said. If you don't leave, will you wait for it to be wiped out?"
"If you don't leave before tomorrow, I won't protect you anymore."
Seeing that the woman was silent, Wei Mingyan had a rare headache.
"If you don't go, you really can't go anymore."
Under the tree, the woman who had been huddled up and refused to speak all this time moved her body. She stretched out her pale hand and kept drawing on the ground.
save-
save her—
Wei Mingyan with his hands behind his back, looked at the words drawn on the ground, "Are you unable to speak?"
The silent woman nodded, raised her head, and opened her mouth to the person in front of her.
Where the tongue should have been, there was nothing there.
Wei Mingyan looked at it for a while, "Okay, put it away."
"I'll ask your sister, if my daughter-in-law is willing to use her body as a medium..."
Before the words fell, the woman shook her head in a panic.
Even though his face was pale, his eyes were still full of pleading.
— Don't tell my sister.
—I can’t let my sister know what I’ve been through.
— Please, please don't.
Just arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Mrs. Wei, who was wondering why all the servants had been sent out, heard what her father-in-law said as soon as she stepped in.
your sister...
She looked carefully again, but saw that the father-in-law was lowering his head slightly, clearly speaking to the open space under the tree.
For a moment, Mrs. Wei lost everything in her mind.
She broke away from her husband's hand, staggered forward, looked at her father-in-law expectantly with red eyes, "Father, who are you talking to?"
"Is it with my sister? Is Yanniang here... here?"
"Yan Niang, Yan Niang! Is it you, did you come to see my sister!"
Master Wei watched his wife reach out to touch the open space, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, "Jiao Niang, wait a moment, Jiao Niang..."
Mrs. Wei was so excited, Master Wei couldn't hold her back for a while, the husband and wife were arguing, and the old man, the father, didn't care about it at all, he just watched them gossip.
The woman had stood up since her elder sister came, looking at her excited and full of anticipation at the moment, her expression was timid and happy, her pale face smiled with tears in her eyes.
-elder sister
- thank you for wanting to see me
Seeing that Wei Mingyan was staring at her, the woman saluted, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment."
The old man opened his mouth, although the voice was soft and indifferent, but it seemed to directly hit the hearts of the people present. The emotional Mrs. Wei softened all of a sudden, and was caught by her husband and held him in his arms.
Master Wei hugged his wife tightly, while looking around vigilantly and carefully, holding Mrs. Wei and moving slowly towards his father's back, for fear that a monster would suddenly pop out from somewhere and swallow them up.
After getting behind his father and making sure he was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "Father, are those insidious methods again?"
While talking, he carefully tightened his wife in his arms.
Wei Mingyan cast a disgusted look at his son, whose legs were trembling and still pretending to be calm, who was obviously terrified, "Not this time."
oh…
Not this time, great.
Master Wei was truly relieved this time, and his subordinates gently supported Mrs. Wei to stand upright, then turned around and asked his father, "Is she really Jiaoniang's younger sister?"
Wei Mingyan nodded, "She can't speak for the time being, and she has an obsession with not being able to reincarnate. I was thinking, let your wife see what she has gone through, and send her to reincarnation after breaking her obsession."
Master Wei quickly asked, "Is it harmful to Jiao Niang's body?"
When the old man shook his head, he felt relieved, "Then let Madam take a look."
Mrs. Wei also came to her senses, she nodded with tears in her eyes, "Father, let me see."
Wei Mingyan glanced at the woman who was stopped under the tree, she was shaking her head desperately, her speechless lips opened and closed, full of prayers.
She didn't want the person who loved her the most to see her so miserable.
Wei Mingyan took another look at Master Wei who was still looking around warily, "Ziqing, your wife is weak, so you should do it."
"by me?"
Master Wei was stunned, "Father, what should I do?"
"It's very simple. Come here and explain it to you as a father."
Wei Mingyan stepped forward, dragged his son to the tree, and showed a loving smile on his immortal face, "It's a long story..."
Master Wei looked at his father seriously and nodded, "Father, tell me."
"Because it's too long, so you get a sense of it."
The old man pressed his son's hand to the tree.
"Wait until you read her life."
"Remember to keep the long story short."
