Wei An didn't know what the Third Master and the Third Madam said to Wei Yuyou, but on the third day of November, Wei Yuyou looked completely normal. She was wearing a bright red feather satin cloak, and she looked incredibly delicate and graceful. She was a sight to behold as she stood there gracefully.
Even Mrs. Wei couldn't help laughing: "This kind of dress really brightens up the whole room."
Old Madam Wei seldom praised anyone, and Wei Yuyou couldn't help showing his joy on his face. He plucked his sleeve and looked away embarrassedly. He saw Wei An standing next to Old Madam Wei.
Wei An has always been good-looking and tall. She is about half a head taller than people of the same age. The clothes she wore today were not bright in color, but a light gray.
But that gray was not the same as ordinary gray. The gray on her body had a bit of the blue color of the sky after rain, and there was a circle of pink pearls on the collar. It not only did not look dull, but also looked ethereal, making the ten-year-old Wei An look like the dragon girl under the seat of Guanyin.
The smile on her face couldn't help but become a little stiff. After a moment, she turned around and waved to Wei An affectionately under the warning gaze of the Third Madam: "An An, come here quickly!"
The Second Madam was originally going to go back to her parents' home today, but she decided not to because of the special day. Seeing this, she couldn't help but laugh: "These two girls are now as close as one person."
Old Madam Wei smiled and glanced at him, but said nothing and told the Third Madam, "If the carriage is ready, let's go."
Because they were going to Puci Temple, the journey was not short, so the Wei family set out early. But when they arrived, the little nun who came out to greet them said with a smile that the wife of Marquis Pingxi and Madam Zheng had already arrived.
"So early?" The Third Madam smiled in surprise as she helped Old Madam Wei walk inside. "If that's the case, that's good. It's always good to have more people and more fun."
Everyone knew in their hearts that they were going to meet someone, but they couldn't say it out loud. They had to pretend to be surprised by the coincidence. The third lady turned around and asked Master Ning He, "Have we packed up our rooms?"
The nuns in the nunnery knew that the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion attached great importance to the worship of Buddha, so they did not dare to neglect it. They responded in unison: "Everything is ready. We dare not neglect our distinguished guests. Everything is clean and tidy. I will welcome you in right away."
He stood still again, clasped his hands together, and respectfully asked Old Lady Wei, "Would you like to burn incense first, or rest first?"
As he spoke, he saw Wei An standing beside Old Lady Wei and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The last time she came, Wei An was still the little girl who followed behind the Second Madam, who didn't know much etiquette and no one paid attention to her. But this time, she stood next to the wife of Marquis Dingbei and even held her hand, which showed that they were very close.
How could there be such drastic changes in such a short period of time
Wei An looked up at her and frowned slightly.
She always felt uncomfortable with the way Master Ning He looked at her.
Old Madam Wei had already shaken her head: "Go wash up first. If you go to worship the Buddha covered in dust like this, I'm afraid it will offend others."
Master Ninghe smiled and said yes, then led them to the room in the backyard.
Just as she sat down, Nanny Hua, who had been outside directing the maids to pack up, came in. She glanced at the Third Madam and said to Old Madam Wei, "Madam, Madam, Madam Pingxi Hou and Madam Zheng heard that you were here too, so they came to pay their respects to you."
Why are you in such a hurry
Old Madam Wei and the Third Madam looked at each other.
Logically speaking, this marriage was purely a case of Master Wei San marrying up, and the Zheng family didn't need to be so attentive.
But even though she was thinking this, Mrs. Wei quickly came to her senses and said with a smile, "Please come in!"
Mrs. Feng, the wife of the Marquis of Pingxi, walked in with a smile on her face. She bowed to the old lady and asked with a smile, "How are you, old lady?"
Old Mrs. Wei greeted her with a smile and kept her eyes on Mrs. Zheng behind her.
But strangely, Mrs. Zheng's expression was not as enthusiastic as her actions. She came up to greet him calmly, and then stood by with her daughter.
If her expression couldn't explain anything, then the young girl from the Zheng family standing next to her could really explain it. Miss Zheng was probably too young, and the disdain in her eyes couldn't deceive anyone at all.
The smile on Mrs. Wei's face froze slightly, and she turned around and continued chatting with the wife of Marquis Pingxi.
After chatting for a while, the wife of Pingxi Marquis turned around and smiled at the Zheng family's little girl, then smiled and asked Wei An and Wei Yuyou: "It's not so soon to eat vegetarian food. I heard that the plum blossoms outside are blooming. Do you want to go and see them together?"
The adults were about to talk about something, and Wei Yuyou went to see Wei An with a red face.
Wei An, of course, acted extremely happy: "I also heard from my grandmother that the plum blossoms at Puci Temple are the best in the capital. I would like to see them for myself."
As soon as she left the room, the cold air hit her in the face. With the help of the servants, Zheng Hui tied the belt of her cloak. Without even looking at Wei Yuyou who was about to talk to her, she raised her chin and walked away.
Wei Yuyou was stunned with shock, obviously not expecting to be humiliated like this. He looked at Madam Kong in shock and fear.
Madam Kong also felt that Zheng Hui was a little overbearing. She was slightly surprised, but she still tried to smooth things over with a smile. She whispered to comfort Wei Yuyou: "If it works out, we will be together for a long time after all. Please be more tolerant..."
There was really no other way. Wei Yuyou bit her lip, feeling extremely aggrieved. It took her a while to calm down, and she hummed, then raised her foot and chased after Zheng Hui.
Nanny Kong originally didn't want to go with them, but seeing this, she felt a little worried, so after thinking about it, she decided to follow behind.
Nanny Wang didn't quite understand: "Didn't we say we were going to meet each other? Why does Miss Zheng seem so reluctant?"
It wasn't just Miss Zheng who was reluctant. Although Mrs. Zheng's expression was not very obvious, people could still see that she was perfunctory. The fact that such sophisticated ladies would show an attitude that others would think was perfunctory was very telling.
It seemed that the wife of Marquis Pingxi, who acted as matchmaker, was the happiest one.
Wei An's long eyelashes trembled and he shook his head gently: "It's none of our business..."
Lan He quickly replied, "That's right. After all, it's Miss Fifth who is looking for someone. Let's not get involved, so as to avoid being blamed."
As they were talking, Wei Yuyou's back could be seen. Wei An saw that Wei Yuyou seemed to be jogging and shouted in surprise: "Fifth sister!"
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Madam Kong in front of him screamed in surprise.
Nanny Wang was walking a little ahead and stamped her feet. “The fifth girl fell down!”
There were shouts coming one after another from the front. Wei An quickened his pace and walked quickly to the front. He couldn't help but look at Miss Zheng in surprise.
