Fortunate to know Qing peach noodles

Chapter 253
Mrs. Cai looked at the scarlet letters in the new courtyard, and said with a gentle smile, "Qing'er is very handy, it's the first time I've learned how to cut, and I can cut it so beautifully."

The banquet in the front yard was quite lively, the guests who came were all old friends and distant relatives of Cai Zheng, the official banquet would not start until tomorrow to greet the relatives, so there were no ladies and wives visiting tonight, and Madam Cai did not have to entertain herself.

Mrs. Cai only followed Cai Zheng to the front yard to show her face, and just now she came to the back yard to take Wei Qing to rest and have dinner later.

Passing through the garden, hearing the laughter coming from the front yard gives people a vaguely moody atmosphere.

Madam Cai took Wei Qing's hand and said, "Are you tired today?"

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything, but I just helped out."

Mrs. Cai asked: "I heard that the governor went to the new courtyard in the afternoon to help you fold paper and cut red?"

In the afternoon, some servants came to help, but when they saw Yin Jing was helping Wei Qing, they went back to answer. Madam Cai naturally knew about it.

Wei Qing was silent, and said: "He just wanted to be quiet and happened to pass by."

Madam Cai patted Wei Qing's hand lightly, and said with a smile, "I see. It's just that in the past, the governor came and went to the house many times, but I've never seen him do these trivial things in the courtyard in order to keep quiet." Mrs. Cai glanced at Wei Qing, "He's a man, and he's in a high position. Do you think he likes to be a female celebrity?"

Wei Qing was silent.

Mrs. Cai said again: "When I was in Zhoucheng before, seeing you getting along with him, I still felt peaceful. Now it's a different feeling."

Mrs. Cai just clicked to the end, no more words.

Wei Qing followed her into the courtyard, and the servants set up meals, and the mother and daughter had dinner together.

Yilan and the other people brought by Wei Qing's family ate hastily in the back kitchen, so Yilan came to ask where she was going to stay tonight.

The servants of the Cai family were too busy, and there were so many people tonight, Wei Qing naturally didn't want to bother them to prepare a place to stay.Anyway, they were all in the capital, so Wei Qing asked the servants from home to wait and go back together after dinner.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cai said: "Qing'er, let's rest here tonight. There is a vacant yard at home. Let someone tidy it up later. If you have an idea, I can discuss it with you if you encounter other matters."

It was already dark outside, and Mrs. Cai didn't want Wei Qing to come and go.Tomorrow morning, she will definitely come here before dawn. Although it is in a capital city, but the capital city is huge, and Wei Qing lives near the imperial city, it will take some time to come and go.

Yi Lan said: "Why don't the second misses stay here, the servants can help clean up the guest courtyard first, and then go back with Ah Ying and the others after the second miss's guest room is ready."

Xie Momo in the room said in time: "When Miss Yilan gets ready, it may be too late when I go back. If Second Miss doesn't mind, I can go and help Second Miss prepare later."

Mrs. Cai was happy to see it come to fruition, and said, "Qing'er, how about letting Madam Xie prepare the yard for you?"

Wei Qing thought for a while, and said, "Thank you, Mommy."

Mammy Xie happily agreed.

Yi Lan said, "Then I'll trouble Xie Momo to take care of my second young lady."

Yilan bid farewell, and went back with Ah Ying and several other servants.The Cai family is not enough to entertain guests, how can they prepare their resting place.

After dinner, since Wei Qing was not going back tonight anyway, Mrs. Cai and Wei Qing went to the new house to have a look.

Several experienced nuns are busy preparing for this and that.The inside of the new house was full of red, and a mother was spreading the beautiful mandarin duck quilt on the exquisite and gorgeous embroidered bed, and then sprinkled red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds and other dried fruits on it.

It can be seen that Mrs. Cai's treatment of Cai Cong's marriage is not just a marriage, but the daughter-in-law of the Cai family and Cai Cong's official wife who is about to marry, so all aspects are carefully prepared, and there is no perfunctory way to deal with it. state.

Mammy knew that Wei Qing was still in her boudoir, so she explained to her while preparing.She will also get married in the future.

The nuns laughed and said: "The second young lady is beautiful and intelligent, with such a good looks and temperament, she will have to marry a good man in the future."

Coming out of the new house, Mrs. Cai also asked a few words, "Qing'er, you will be fourteen this year, has the Wei family made any plans for you?"

Wei Qing smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it, mother-in-law, that's not my intention."

Mrs. Cai said: "I don't intend to now, what about the future? Don't go against your will and miss it."

It was getting late, and the laughter in the front yard gradually faded away.The night wind carried a faint fragrance of flowers, Mrs. Cai coughed a few times, Wei Qing asked the servant girl to help her go back to rest as soon as possible.

And Wei Qing followed Madam Xie to the guest house.

No one lived in the guest house, the room was cleaned cleanly, and the bedding and washing utensils used on the bed had to be carried temporarily.

The yard was very quiet, except for the occasional chirping of insects over the fence.

Summer is coming, and there are more and more mosquitoes at night.Mammy Xie went into the house to light the lamp, and used incense to drive away the mosquitoes in the house again.

Then came over with a brand new and clean quilt, and was busy making the bed and stacking the quilt in the room, with very light and familiar movements.

After the bed was neatly laid, Mammy Xie straightened up and said, "Second Miss, the washing water on the shelf is ready, and you can rest after washing. The maidservant will stay and watch the night for Second Miss. If Second Miss If you have other orders, please call your servant at any time."

Yilan served Wei Qing in fashion and hadn't kept vigil yet, and Madam Xie wasn't young anymore, how could Wei Qing let her keep vigil.

Sui Weiqing said gently: "You don't need to guard, you can go and do other things. If you have nothing to do, go to rest early."

In a short period of time, it is reasonable for Wei Qing to be polite and unfamiliar with Madam Xie.Even though she was Wei Qingniang's maid, after so long, Wei Qing didn't have much memory left.

Madam Xie turned around and went out of the room a little lonely. Just as she walked out the door, Wei Qing suddenly said again: "When the righteous sister-in-law enters the door tomorrow, the Cai family will not be busy, so you can go home with me."

Xie Momo was taken aback for a moment, turned around, her eyes were a little wet, and said, "Okay, okay. Second Miss, go to bed early."

After Madam Xie left, Wei Qing locked the door, took off her skirt and blouse, opened her neckline slightly, rinsed her mouth with the water on the shelf, and then washed her face and body.

She hung her coat on the screen, she was only wearing a single dress and a thin skirt, she was refreshed after washing, and was about to go to bed when there was movement in the yard.

When Wei Qing heard the footsteps, she came in a hurry, thinking that Madam Xie had left and returned, so she opened the door to have a look.

The one who didn't want to come was another maid, holding a stack of bedding and bedding in her hand.When the servant girl saw her, she respectfully called "Second Miss".

Wei Qing asked: "Is there anyone here to sleep in this guest house?"
