Jiang Qingxue smiled slightly and said, "You know it's good that my aunt cares about you. You can prepare for the Hundred Flowers Banquet with peace of mind, but don't forget about the business. If Wu Sheyue is so desperate, she won't be able to get married in the future."
Wu Sheyue, you refused to take the Yangguan Road and insisted on crossing the single-plank bridge. Since you must go against her daughter and seek death like Yin Qiuming, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Jiang Ying said happily: "Really!" This was the first time she was humiliated. In the past, she always aimed to kill the person who made her unhappy. How can this time be an exception!
Jiang Qingxue said with a loving look on her face: "Yes, just listen to your aunt. I also mentioned the matter between you and Ziqi to the old lady today. Judging from the old lady's intention, it should be discussed after the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
An emotion of surprise spread in Jiang Ying's chest, and her face gradually turned red. Jiang Ying's eyes widened and she said shyly: "Aunt... I..."
Jiang Qingxue patted her head gently, "You are old enough, and getting married will only take two years. You and Ziqi grew up together, so naturally you should think about it first. Ziqi will be back soon, and then you two Let’s discuss it privately.”
"Well, thank you, aunt." Jiang Ying lowered her head and whispered, but in fact her heart was about to fly.
I didn't expect that my aunt would mention her and Ziqi's affairs today! Even if Wu Sheyue slaps her twice more, it will be worth it!
Jiang Ying suddenly raised her head and said with great emotion: "Aunt, you are really as kind to me as my own mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qingxue was stunned. She stared at Jiang Ying for a while, and then she said again: "Blood is thicker than water. You and I are both members of the Jiang family. Naturally, I want to be nice to you. .”
Jiang Ying swept away the previous haze, wiped away her tears and said cheerfully: "Aunt, I'm going back now. I'll go and talk to Liu Yun first."
"Wait a minute—" Jiang Qingxue held her back, "Liu Yun... she fell asleep."
"Asleep?"
Jiang Qingxue hesitated: "Well...she was frightened today, and the doctor prescribed some soothing medicine."
Jiang Ying felt a little guilty and said, "I understand, it's all my fault today, and it won't happen again in the future."
Jiang Qingxue comforted her and said, "It's okay, as long as there is no bad blood between you two. Let's talk about it later."
Since the day Wu Sheyue and Jiang Ying had a fight, Jiang Qingxue never asked anyone to come to Wu Sheyue to practice. It was agreed before that Wu Liuyun's paintings would be given to Wu Sheyue, but no one was sent to deliver them afterwards.
Yes, she naturally preferred to listen to her children, and Wu Sheyue was happy not to see them.
Otherwise, she would have to perform a drama of "pretending not to see and greet her" and "pretending to pose for her" every day, which would make her very tired.
However, the old lady quickly hired an etiquette nun for Wu Sheyue and Wu Lixiang. The etiquette nun came to teach for a long time every morning, which made Wu Sheyue, who occasionally stayed up late, unable to sleep in.
Wu Sheyue hated these frivolous things, but I heard that Wu Lixiang was very enthusiastic about learning, and she might have been stimulated by Jiang Ying's overwhelming power.
This morning, as soon as Aunt Li left, Wu Sheyue immediately returned to her lazy look, spread out on the imperial concubine's couch, and asked Xiao Ling to get books and fruits for her, as leisurely as an uncle.
Sisi on the side came over with tea and couldn't help but said: "Miss, with the shape you have just practiced, will you go back to your old age as soon as you lie down like this?"
"No way. Don't worry." She has practiced it~
Wu Sheyue took the tea from Sisi's hand, took a sip, and then looked sideways at Ning'er, who was busy and alive.
Ning'er was painting a wooden picture frame with varnish, and she was doing it with great enthusiasm. Wu Sheyue glanced at the large picture frame and said very casually: "Ning'er, put it down, I don't want that thing anymore."
Upon hearing this, Ning'er raised her head in surprise: "Miss, what's wrong? Why don't you want this good thing?"
"Don't do this anymore." Wu Sheyue said, taking the book handed over by Xiao Ling with her other hand and starting to flip through it.
"But..." Ning'er looked at the pine wood frame in her hand. She had been preparing for this for a long time. The pattern on the picture frame was carved by the lady herself! What a pity!
"That one is too ordinary~" Wu Sheyue turned over a page of the book, as if answering what they were thinking, and said very sternly: "Your young lady is preparing to make a big splash~ That thing is not worthy of it."
When Ning'er heard this, her eyes lit up. She quickly put the picture frame aside, threw down the brush and came over and said, "Is the lady going to make something more interesting?"
Sisi and Xiaoling also came over after hearing this. They were very curious about Wu Sheyue's craftsmanship.
Wu Sheyue raised the corners of her lips and chuckled, "Of course, you will definitely have to outdo some people." With Wu Liuyun and Jiang Ying like this, how could they do it without giving them some advice. Anyway, everyone has old scores, so let’s settle them carefully.
Ning'er asked: "What are you going to do, young lady?"
Wu Sheyue removed her eyes from the book and turned to ask these girls, "Do you think there is anything that can shine by itself?"
Ning'er blurted out: "Firefly!"
Sisi immediately responded: "Wisp!"
Xiao Ling looked at them and couldn't talk to them at all.
"Hey..." Wu Sheyue shook her head and picked up the book again. These two silly girls, can you give that thing as a gift? But the answers are all correct...
Those girls curled their lips and didn't say anything at all about what they were going to do...
Wu Sheyue couldn't stand it today. She had ideas in her mind, but she couldn't think of the materials. She felt bad. She seemed to be suffering from a modern occupational disease.
After a while, she suddenly threw away the book in annoyance and asked them loudly: "Hey, how much does a luminous pearl cost?"
The maids who were working stopped, looked at each other, and shook their heads: "I don't know about that. Isn't it a priceless thing? I only heard about it once before."
"Miss, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Yes, you name it and we will help you think about it."
"I want you to help, but you don't understand even after I told you..." Wu Sheyue was a little worried. If it were modern times, even if there was no fluorescent powder, she could still consider making some homemade fluorescent agent... This evil primitive society!
She stood up irritably and said, "It's too annoying. I have to go out. Ning'er, come with me."
"Are you still going out?" Ning'er was a little anxious.
Wu Sheyue patted Ning'er on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Jiang Qingxue hasn't ignored me lately, so it should be fine. Let's go see Shen Yanhuan."
Ning'er was very happy when she heard this, "Miss Shen? That's great! We haven't looked for her yet!"
"Sisi Xiaoling, you guys are looking after the house. If anyone comes to see me... just tell me to go out alone and be quiet. Because I can't think of anything else to do at the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
"Yes..." The two of them agreed reluctantly, as they didn't have a share every time they went out. (To be continued)
