The old lady valued Zhao Ge'er so much, and was not at all dissatisfied with Wei Yuyou and Li staying at home. The initial scruples and worries in his heart disappeared, and he even felt a little grateful. With Zhao Ge'er and Wei Yuyou, the old lady treated the third room better, and even they became much closer to the old lady.
Now seeing how the old lady doted on Zhao Ge'er, he couldn't help but say, "This child is quite clever. If you say something nice about him, he'll be happy. If you don't indulge him a little, he'll get angry. He really should be taught a lesson."
The Third Lady was watching with a smile on her face. When she heard what the Third Master said, she also smiled and said, "He has been spoiled by the old lady. Whenever we say something bad about him, he would yell and run to you. He knows that you love him in your heart."
Zhao Ge'er looked at them and started to clamor to come down. He came to Wei An and called her, "Auntie!"
Everyone in the room couldn't help but burst into laughter. The old lady was even happier. She couldn't help but say, "It's hard for him. He's so young, but he still knows how to call me aunt." At the same time, she teased him, "Zhao Ge'er, do you know which aunt's rank this is?"
Wei An responded and picked up Zhao Ge'er. Zhao Ge'er tilted his head and stared at her for a while, then let out a sigh in confusion.
Everyone was laughing uncontrollably, and just as the party was getting lively, they heard someone outside say that the Fifth Madam and the Fifth Master had also arrived.
The fifth master and the fifth mistress greeted everyone, and seeing that it was a lively occasion, they all smiled and joined in the fun.
At that moment, the Third Madam sent someone to report the news: "Old Madam, because Mr. Kong happened to be at home, he rushed here very quickly and is now on his way. The Third Madam said that in order to avoid delaying things, she wanted to come over to recognize her relatives first. They said that everything is fine."
Seeing that most people had arrived, Old Madam Wei thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Ask your Third Madam and Brother Kun to come over first and recognize their relationship. It will be the same if they go over later."
After a while, Aunt Hua came in with a smile on her face, holding a box and showing it to Old Madam Wei.
This was a verification handkerchief. Old Madam Wei took a quick look at it, then smiled and motioned to Madam Hua to close it. When she heard someone outside say that Wei Jie and the new wife had arrived, she sat upright and waited for them to serve her tea.
Wei Jie always respected Old Madam Wei, so even though he was the son of Princess Changning, the old lady still valued him. When they knelt down, she smiled and said, "Good children," and reached out to take the red envelope and gift that Nanny Hua had prepared long ago, and handed them to them one by one with a smile.
The bride, Chen Mianmian, blushed and respectfully called her grandmother. She took a pair of aquamarine bracelets and a red envelope handed to her by the old lady, kowtowed to the old lady to express her gratitude, and then reached out to take the shoes and socks made for the old lady from the maid.
The old lady saw that the work was so meticulously planned and the colors were well matched, and she knew that she had put a lot of thought into it herself, so she felt more satisfied.
The next step was to meet the real parents-in-law. Chen Mianmian was very respectful and docile to the Fifth Madam, just like she was to her own mother-in-law, without any shyness or reluctance. The Fifth Madam breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, comforted herself, and personally put on the bracelet with a red gold carved unicorn and inlaid rubies that she had given her, and said gently: "May you and your wife live in harmony and have children soon."
The Fifth Master didn't have anything extra to say. After drinking tea and giving the red envelope, he patted Wei Jie on the shoulder.
The next step was to meet all the uncles and aunts, and as per custom they all received gifts.
The Wei family is now in harmony, and the gifts they give are extremely valuable.
Chen Mianmian thanked him profusely.
After finishing her work, Old Madam Wei smiled and said, "Since you have nothing to do, let A-Jie take you around the mansion and get familiar with the roads. Although you come here often, you will be staying here for a long time after all, so it's better to get familiar with it."
Chen Mianmian blushed and smiled as she agreed, then stood up and went out with Wei Jie.
When they arrived at the door, Wei Jie even lifted up Chen Mianmian's skirt for fear that she would trip.
Everyone saw this and knew that the young couple was very loving and couldn't help laughing.
After they all left, Old Madam Wei told Madam Wu that Wei Kun's wife might be pregnant, and said, "You should pay more attention to her. If she is pregnant, you need to take good care of her. If she is sick, you also need to take good care of her. She is so young, don't let her be delayed."
The Fifth Lady smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."
The second and third wives stood up and said goodbye, saying they were going to visit Wei Kun's wife. The fifth wife also stood up and said, "Since you have nothing to do, I will go with you to take a look."
Mrs. Wei smiled and let them go. After the third and fifth masters left, she turned around and said to Wei An, "Take Zhao Ge'er out for a walk. I'm a little tired and need to take a nap."
Wei An was a little worried. The old lady had never gone to bed in the morning before, so he couldn't help asking, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask Master Kong to come over and take a look?"
Old Madam Wei shook her head nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm feeling unwell. It's just that Ah Jie is going to have a tea party today, so I couldn't help but think about some things last night until late at night, so I'm a little tired."
The old lady's energy was limited to begin with. After not sleeping all night, how could she hold on? Wei An hurriedly stood up holding Zhao Ge'er and said to Aunt Hua, "Then Aunt, help the old lady to rest. Don't sleep too long... Otherwise, she won't be able to sleep again in the afternoon."
Aunt Hua agreed with a smile, and Wei An carried Zhao Ge'er to talk to Wei Yuyou.
By the time they had finished talking, it was almost time for lunch, and Kong Gongfeng had already made a diagnosis that Wei Kun's wife was indeed pregnant and had been pregnant for two months.
When the news reached Wei Yuyou, she couldn't help but put her hands together and chanted: "I think although my second brother is not anxious, my second sister-in-law is very anxious. Now that she finally has one, my second sister-in-law can put her worries to rest."
Seeing that the time was almost up, she carried the already asleep Zhao Ge'er to the nanny beside her, whispered to him to sleep for a while and then woke him up, then said to Wei An: "Since the news has been confirmed, let's go see the second sister-in-law?"
Wei An nodded and followed her to the courtyard of the second wife, Wei Kun. Sure enough, he saw the second young lady, who was being instructed by the second lady, smiling shyly at them.
Seeing that they were here, the Second Lady stood up and said, "Since you are here, you can chat with her for a while. I will go and tell the old lady first, so that she won't be worried."
Because women's slippery pulses are always difficult to diagnose, Kong Gongfeng did spend a lot of time. Calculating the time up to now, even if the old lady has not slept, she should be awake now. If she doesn't wake up, it will definitely be worrying. (To be continued)
