my grandmother

Hangcheng, Wei Xuezheng's residence.

Mrs. Fu got a report that the son was coming to have dinner, and hurried to the kitchen to arrange meals.

From the soup at the entrance to the tea after the meal, everything was arranged properly. Mrs. Fu breathed a sigh of relief, came out of the kitchen, and went to the dining room to watch people change potted flowers, fruit plates, curtains, screens and cushions.

The three sisters of the Wei family followed their mother from the kitchen into the dining room.

Mrs. Fu was sitting on the couch against the wall, watching the eldest daughter Wei Si standing in the middle of the dining room, checking the instructions every time. Watching my sister command and dispatch, while gossiping.

"Why did my cousin come to eat?" Seventh Lady asked.

"How do you talk!" Mrs. Fu patted her little daughter on the head.

"I also want to ask, my cousin has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Liu Niangzi laughed.

"That's right, my mother said that too." Seventh Lady answered immediately.

"We'll know when he comes." Mrs. Fu smiled.

"Let's guess!" Sixth Lady stretched her head forward and laughed with Seventh Lady.

"Looking for Dad?" Seventh Lady answered quickly.

"Definitely not. If I want to find Dad, my cousin will definitely go to the yamen." Liu Niangzi flatly denied it.

"That's to find A Niang." Seventh Lady immediately changed to the second answer.

"I think so too." Sixth Lady nodded.

"Then you two guess again, if he really came to look for your mother, what would happen?" Mrs. Fu laughed.

"It's definitely not to say hello to A Niang or something." Liu Niangzi laughed first.

"It's not about asking for advice. Cousin doesn't like learning, and he is most afraid of Dad telling him about learning." Seventh Lady chuckled.

"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Fu patted her little daughter again.

"You should say: Cousin is dedicated to learning, but he is too busy with official duties and really has no time!" Sixth Lady laughed out loud before finishing her sentence.

"What are you laughing at?" Miss Wei Si watched the last potted flower and sat down on the armchair in front of the bed.

The sixth lady and the seventh lady spoke for each other, and Mrs. Fu looked at the eldest daughter and said with a smile, "What do you think is the matter?"

"Did aunt give him a good idea of ​​the marriage?" Fourth Lady answered very quickly.

"It's better not to do this. If it's really for this, I'm afraid it won't happen in all likelihood." Mrs. Fu sighed.

If the concubine gave the prince a good idea of ​​the marriage, and he came to her for this, then according to the usual practice, he had already declined and asked her to persuade the concubine so that the concubine would not be angry.

"Aniang thinks about the best, maybe I'm asking Aniang to find out how the girl's temper is?" Si Niangzi said with a smile.

"I don't think so, that cousin, if you tell him so and so, he will just look at you like this." Sixth lady turned her head, raised her chin, and looked down at fourth lady from the corner of her eyes.

"One more thing: does your mother know that you talk about people's rights and wrongs like this?" Seventh Lady immediately answered.

Fourth Lady laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty taught you this, it's for your own good!" Mrs. Fu laughed angrily.

"Maybe it's because he has his own fancy, so he came to find A Niang as a matchmaker." Seventh Lady laughed.

"More and more nonsense." Mrs. Fu patted Seventh Lady.

Miss Wei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

After tidying up the dining room, the mother and daughter came out. The fourth lady Wei pulled Mrs. Lafu, and the two fell a few steps behind. The fourth lady took Mrs. Fu's arm and asked in a low voice: "Mother, my aunt knows that Miss Li ?"

Mrs. Fu glanced at her daughter, and answered after a moment: "I probably don't know."

"You didn't tell your aunt?"

"Your words are completely muddled. Prince Rui's mansion has two separate properties in the south of the Yangtze River. There are thousands of servants in charge. How can I inquire about things for her? Besides, it's not like you don't know the rules of Prince Rui's mansion. The most taboo is prying and inquiring, you shouldn't ask such a thing." Mrs. Fu frowned and reprimanded.

"I see." Mrs. Wei Si frowned, not because of A Niang's lesson, but because she didn't expect that her aunt didn't know that Miss Li.

After sending Gu Yan away, Mrs. Fu sat down and drank half a cup of tea, then called the eldest daughter Weisi in.

Mrs. Fu motioned her daughter to sit beside her, and said in a low voice, "Your seventh sister really hit the mark."

"Huh? Miss Li?" Miss Wei's eyes widened.

"Well, guess what he said to me in the first sentence?" Mrs. Fu's voice was extremely low, "He asked me: what should he do to be the best for Ah Nan, look! He really cares."

"I told you a long time ago that my cousin is very kind to Miss Li, and you don't take it to heart at all. When does a person like cousin ever worry about tea, rice and snacks for others? What does Miss Li want to eat? What to drink, cousin explained carefully!"

Miss Wei Fourth let out a long sigh. For this unexpected event, at least for now, her heart was almost full of gossip and excitement. As for the shock and countless chain troubles caused by this event, she hadn't thought that much.

"How could I have thought of this! Your cousin has been blind since he was a child. Oh, I really didn't expect that." Mrs. Fu was filled with emotion.

"Can Auntie nod?" Miss Wei Fourth asked worriedly.

Mrs. Fu gave her daughter a speechless glance.

"I asked the wrong question." Mrs. Wei Si responded very quickly, "My cousin is asking what is best for Miss Li. My cousin is not allowing my aunt to refuse to agree. Alas! A tough temper like my aunt is also my cousin. I can hold her down, but, alas!"

"Ah!" Mrs. Fu sighed, "In their residence, the prince is the most soft-tempered, alas!"

The mother and daughter sighed more than ten times at each other, and Fourth Lady Wei held her breath slightly and asked, "Why did you tell cousin?"

"I'll ask him to take Miss Li back to the capital first." Mrs. Fu suppressed her voice, "It's not that we look down on Miss Li's background. Her background is far from the Wangfu Tianyuan, and there is a big difference. The local conditions and customs of Pingjiang Mansion and the capital are also very different.

"That Miss Li is an idea, and she is not the kind of person who is blindly greedy for wealth and power. Go to the capital, let the prince have a look, and let Miss Li have a look. Maybe it is the prince or Miss Li, and you can see it. It’s not appropriate to this point.”

"Then after reading it, my cousin still thinks Miss Li is good, and Miss Li also thinks it's suitable?" Mrs. Wei asked with a frown.

"Miss Li entered the capital, that's your aunt's business, if it's all right, it's a happy event!" Mrs. Fu gave her daughter a disgusted look.

The fourth lady Wei suddenly let out a cry.She understood that her aunt was entrusting someone into the capital city and putting her in front of her aunt. Also, this is not a matter that their relatives can intervene in, but...

"Then we have to have an attitude, right? Shall we go back to the capital with them? If we go back together, if my aunt thinks it's inappropriate in the capital, how can I get along with Ms. Li?" Mrs. Wei asked a series of questions.

"Let's talk about it at that time." Mrs. Fu rubbed her temples, she had a headache.
