Although she didn't sleep all night, Nanny Li still got up very early the next day. It was a habit she had gained from years of working as a servant. She knew that she couldn't miss the opportunity to serve her master even if the sky fell. Besides, she had just returned and should go and greet Wei An and let him know.
To her surprise, Wei An had also woken up and was letting Nanny Wang comb her hair. She paused before stepping over the threshold and bowed to Wei An with a smile, "Young lady, you got up early today."
Nanny Wang always treated Nanny Li with respect. When she saw Nanny Li, she put a hollow carved crystal hairpin on Wei An and greeted Nanny Li with a smile: "Are you back, elder sister? Is everything alright at home?"
Nanny Li stepped forward to take over Nanny Wang's job and replied with a smile: "Children are so inexperienced. It was my granddaughter who was sick and she was so scared... Now she is well again." She smiled and lowered her head to ask Wei An: "This is too plain. How about wearing a royal blue and emerald peacock hairpin? It will match the clothes you are wearing today."
The more one lacks something, the more one wants to show it off. Wei An likes to wear things on her head very much. She wants to dazzle people's eyes every day when she goes out, so that others will know that she is the eldest daughter of the fifth room and is very favored.
Unexpectedly, this time Wei An simply shook his head, without even glancing at the jewelry box. He pursed his lips and said, "That's enough." He turned his head and glanced at Madam Li: "Madam, did you come back last night?"
Why did he go looking for Qiuyun as soon as he came back? What urgent matter was there
When Nanny Li met her eyes, her heart sank involuntarily - it turned out that the little girl Qiu Yun was not exaggerating. Wei An was different now!
She paused for a moment because of the shock, then smiled and followed Wei An's words and said, "I came back last night, but when I heard that you just came back from He'an Courtyard, I didn't wake you up and didn't kowtow to you in time."
Wei An smiled and said, "Mammy is a close person to my mother. How could I dare ask you to kowtow and greet her? It's useless for me to ask. Mammy was gone for a few days ago, and a lot of things happened. I feel a little uneasy, so I want to tell you to avoid any trouble..."
She never spoke like this before. Out of spite, she only called Princess Changning the Fifth Madam... Nanny Li had only a fleeting thought in her mind. She smiled as she listened to her words, then nodded and sighed, "What are you talking about? Miss Fifth is too ignorant... If the Princess knew, she would be so sad."
Wei An couldn't help but look at Nanny Li again.
How could Princess Changning be sad? She had tried to hint at it many times in the past few days, and both Nanny Wang and Nanny Hua in He'an Courtyard knew that Princess Changning didn't like her.
It is said that when she had a high fever, the old Princess Zhennan went to Puci Temple in person to pray for her, but Princess Changning became furious and smashed the Medicine Buddha glass Buddha that the Princess Zhennan brought back.
How could Nanny Li, Princess Changning's confidant, not know this
She remained calm, neither excited nor refutatative. She smiled and instructed Li Ma, "In a few days, I will accompany my grandmother to the Yanshenggong family to watch the church meeting. Lan He and Yu Qing are both new here and don't understand many things. I'll trouble Ma to check them for me."
Nanny Li stood there in a daze, not even noticing that Wei An had disappeared. Qiu Yun was right, Wei An was completely different now. If it were in the past, how could she have clung to Old Madam Wei's leg
Wei An knew what Nanny Li was thinking.
She used to be so mean, sensitive, suspicious and annoying, but now that she has changed a little, others can notice it.
But she was not afraid that others would notice that she was getting better. She was no longer the ten-year-old Wei An who seemed particularly stupid because she had no one to rely on. She could not do those stupid things. Sooner or later, these people would slowly get used to her changes.
Old Mrs. Wei was having breakfast. When she heard that Wei An had arrived, she unconsciously turned her head to look at the western clock hanging on the wall. At this time, the Third Madam and the others had not arrived yet, but this girl had gotten up early.
She calmly instructed Feicui to bring her in, and glanced at Wei An casually, but her eyes could not be taken away.
In the past, Wei An was always covered in jewels and precious stones. The dazzling gold shone so brightly that people didn't care what she looked like at all. But now she has discarded all the gold and silver, and only wears a hollow carved crystal hairpin in her hair and two gourd-shaped gold earrings on her ears. Apart from this, there is no other decoration, but it makes people's eyes light up.
She has always been a delightful child. When she was a child and had a high fever, Princess Zhennan took her to Puci Temple. Even Princess Chang'an, who was also burning incense at Puci Temple, couldn't help but reach out to hug her, saying that she had never seen such a beautiful child.
Now she threw away those dazzling ornaments, and a face that people would never forget suddenly appeared in people's eyes.
Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment before looking away and told Feicui, "Put out another set of bowls and chopsticks."
Wei An was somewhat flattered, yet also felt it was natural - she didn't have many memories left of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion in her previous life, but she was deeply impressed by the fact that every time she went to see Old Madam Wei without makeup, Old Madam Wei would always give her a good face. She thanked Feicui in a low voice, and sat quietly below Old Madam Wei, drinking porridge in small sips, looking extremely well-behaved.
Old Madam Wei put down her chopsticks and took the handkerchief handed over by Madam Hua to look at Wei An from the corner of her eye. She was sitting upright, with a slender neck and fair skin. The hostility she always had before disappeared without a trace. Just looking at her appearance was pleasing to the eye. She softened unconsciously in her heart and did not say anything to drive her away. Instead, she asked her, "Did you come up with the pattern of that headband yourself?"
The question was asked in a very obscure way, probably to ask whether she had drawn it herself.
Wei An put down the bowl, and looked at Grandma Wei cautiously with joy and expectation in his eyes: "I drew it." She gestured: "There is a ginkgo tree in my yard. There used to be magpies standing on it. I have nothing to do, so I like to watch them..." As she spoke, the dimples on her face sank deeper: "I know grandma also likes birds, and magpies perching on the branches are a good omen, so I'll give it a try..."
No one would remain indifferent when being looked at like this by a little girl, let alone Old Lady Wei, who was always seeing another person through her. She couldn't help but smile as well: "You are thoughtful, I really like it. Ask Feicui to embroider it for me in the next few days, and I will bring it to the Yanshenggong family when I attend the meeting."
