Wei An knew very well what it meant that Old Madam Wei was willing to wear her headband. Because of this, her eyes suddenly felt warm. She had not received much kindness in her previous life, and Old Madam Wei and the old Princess Zhennan were among the few.
She hid the sobs that were about to come out, and tried to calm down her emotions and said: "When the time comes, I will embroider a peacock Bodhisattva pattern for you, and bless you with peace and health..."
Feicui had never known Wei An was so good at talking. What was rare was that such corny words coming out of her mouth did not seem deliberate or artificial at all - the little girl's eyes were so clear that you could see through them without even a trace of impurities, making it impossible for you to even complain about her.
Mrs. Wei was a little dazed, but she quickly came back to her senses and the smile on her face deepened: "It's good that you have this intention. This trick is too complicated. You are young and haven't learned it yet. You should pay attention to your eyes."
As they were talking, the Third Lady had been allowed to come in. She couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene - she never thought that Wei An could have dinner at the same table with Old Lady Wei and have such a good chat with them.
In the past ten years or so, Wei An probably had never received such special treatment from Old Lady Wei. And it was only a few days. What happened
She thought so in her heart, but her face showed nothing. She came forward to greet the old lady and looked at Wei An with a smile: "Xiao Qi, why are you dressed so plainly today? You are at your age like a flower, you should dress brightly. Third aunt has a piece of smoke-colored gauze that is just right for you to make clothes..."
Since she admitted her mistake in front of Old Madam Wei, and Old Madam Wei now treated Wei An differently, she certainly had to be magnanimous and be nicer to the girl in front of her.
Mrs. Wei waited until she finished speaking before asking her, "Have you arranged everything?"
This time, when going to the Yansheng Duke's house to attend the party, Old Lady Wei was determined to go - if she didn't go, the people in Pingyang Marquis's mansion would not know how to use this party to embarrass Wei Yumin.
The ice is three feet thick, and it didn't freeze overnight. The petty people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion will naturally not spread the bad reputation of getting rid of the burden of Wei's daughter in order to please Emperor Longqing. So they can only take the initiative and slowly let everyone see how useless Wei Yumin is and how she is not worthy of being accepted by the upper class.
She had to save the situation for her eldest granddaughter.
The Third Lady smiled and hummed, then handed the gift list to Old Lady Wei for review. She smiled and said, "On that day, Little Five, Little Six, and Little Seven will all go together. I was thinking, why not make a set of clothes for each of them..."
These were just small matters, and Old Madam Wei nodded indifferently. Outside, a little maid came through the curtain to report that the eldest young master, the third young master, the fifth young lady and others had arrived. Old Madam Wei said "please come in", and the young boys and girls swarmed in, bringing vitality to the whole room.
Looking at these young people makes people happy. Looking at them, they feel that there is still hope in this world. Mrs. Wei smiled and waited for them to greet her before asking the eldest young master Wei Kun: "Don't we have to go there today?"
The eldest son of the first wife had no offspring. The eldest grandson of the Dingbei Marquisate was Wei Kun, born to the second master. He was now nineteen years old. He was originally engaged at the age of sixteen, but his fiancée had to observe mourning for her mother, so it was delayed for three years. At the beginning of the year, when his fiancée was in mourning, it was time to get married. During the mourning period over there, Wei Kun also had to go over to help entertain the guests.
Wei Kun first glanced at Wei An, wondering why Wei An didn't rush to answer questions today, and then sat next to Old Lady Wei, looking very intimate. Then he retracted his gaze and answered Old Lady Wei respectfully: "We have invited the masters from Luoyun Temple to chant sutras and pray for blessings. They have been chanting for seven days, and now they have stopped. There is no need to go over again." He paused and looked at Old Lady Wei again, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Old Madam Wei raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter? Is there anything you can't tell Grandmother?"
There was a rift between her and her biological sons, but her illegitimate sons, who were also raised by her, were actually close to her. As the eldest grandson, Wei Kun was raised by Old Madam Wei for seven years and had a lot of affection for her. Old Madam Wei always treated him very well.
Wei An lowered his head and was very quiet.
Wei Kun was even more surprised, but he still looked away, thought for a moment, and glanced at his brothers and sisters.
Old Mrs. Wei asked Feicui to take the children to the east room to play.
When Wei An was leaving, he heard Wei Kun mention Wei Yumin: "Brother-in-law is too tactless... She is just a concubine. Whether to beat her or kill her is a matter of one word from the eldest sister. He actually dared to get angry with the eldest sister for a concubine..."
Things that were not taken seriously at all when they were in love in the past, now become reasons for quarrels everywhere. Wei An lowered his head and curled up a sneer.
Men are nothing more than that.
Wei Yuyou came up to talk to her. She always thought Wei An was annoying, but when Wei An really acted like a little punching bag and was cautious, she felt a little guilty and said to her, "My mother asked me to learn how to manage a shop. She gave me a small shop to practice..."
She is only ten years old, and the Third Madam has already made long-term plans for her.
Wei An knew that she shouldn't think about it, but she was so sad that her eyes turned red. In her previous life, she never learned how to manage a farm. Later, she married Peng Caichen and suffered a lot before she slowly figured out how to run the household, how to manage the household expenses, and how to take care of her dowry.
Children who have no one to rely on are always more likely to fall and have a harder life.
She swallowed the bitterness and smiled happily: "This is a good thing, Third Aunt is thinking about your future..." Jealousy can easily change a person's image. If she wants to please others, she must never show her envy and jealousy.
Wei Yuyou liked what she said now. When she liked someone, her words were also more pleasing to the ear. Hearing Wei An say this, she pulled Wei An's hand with a bit of complaint and playfulness: "Do you want to learn from me? Fifth Aunt is not in the capital, and you are a few months older than me... My mother said that my cousins have already started to learn how to manage the household affairs, and these are all things that need to be learned..."
Yes, these are things that need to be learned, but unfortunately she is not as lucky as Wei Yuyou, who does not have the road paved for her, just waiting for her to walk on it.
I'm still wondering whether to update today or wait until the book is recommended -- I can't update too much during the new book period... ..
