Beautiful step by step

Chapter 130

Within two days, Emperor Qinglong set off to return to Beijing, leaving Youzhou City full of devastation but waiting to be rebuilt and full of hope.

Wei's mother originally came with the western tour group, her name was also added after Ding Youde, and they were all included in the imperial court list.Now that Ding Youde is ordered by the Holy Order to help rebuild Youzhou City, Mother Wei can also stay with her.

"Mom, don't leave."

The holy car drove up, bringing smoke and dust all over the place, and Wei Wei, the holy car, said goodbye at the end with a face full of reluctance.

Wei's mother shook her head and smiled, "Jingzhong still has those businesses, so I can't ignore them for such a long time. Besides, Brother Heng..."

Turning her eyes to Yan Heng, she said gratifiedly: "Before, I thought about staying in the capital to help you find out some news, but I didn't expect Brother Heng to be so capable. In just a few months, he has become a commander. The news is not something I, an old woman, randomly inquired about."

Yan Heng is a man, and he also has the common nature of a man who loves face.In the capital, Wei's mother said to help inquire about the news, and he was moved with worry; now hearing that she gave up this dangerous action because of his promotion to the rank, he was relieved, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

"Mother, now that my salary has been raised, it doesn't matter if you don't do business in the capital. Listen to Ah Mao, you can stay together."

"That's right, Aunt Wei, stay here and we'll still be neighbors."

These days, Ding Youde, who has been on the verge of seeing nothing, appears out of nowhere and joins the army of persuading Mother Wei.He was a neighbor with Wei's mother in Beijing for a period of time, during which time Wei's mother helped him a lot.After he went to the yamen, there was no one at home. It was Mama Wei who sent someone to scan his yard from time to time. She only scanned his yard when he was not at home. Once he returned home, she immediately looked away, caring and not affecting his life in the slightest; Not only that, as a bachelor, he is often too lazy to live, and at this time he will go to the next door to eat, and every time Wei's mother will bring him his share, and he understands that every meal is specially prepared for him. .

Even without considering the factors of Yan Heng and Wei Wei, Mother Wei is a rare good neighbor.With such an elder by his side, people will always feel very at ease without knowing it.

At this moment, Wei Wei felt the same way. She had been busy putting out the fire for more than half a month, and she couldn't take care of many things.When she remembered, Wei's mother had silently helped her deal with everything.With the unique experience and tolerance of an elder, she made everyone feel warm in the early winter when the north wind began to howl.

"Brother Lian Ding thinks the same way, mother, you can stay here."

After being alone for so long, it was the first time she enjoyed the feeling of being so dependent.Mother Wei's heart was moved, and there was a little wavering in her mind.

"This... really can't, Ah Yun still has to study in the capital."

The farewell is imminent, and Wei Kui's little finger is being held all the time, and the wheat colored dumpling staying in his arms will make a sound.

"I can learn from my uncle, Aunt Wei, let's stay here, I don't want to part with Sister Ah Mao and the others."

The sweet and waxy voice made Mother Wei's heart soft. Looking at the lovely A Yun, she quickly made up her mind.Perhaps keeping him in the capital earlier was to make Yan Heng feel scruples and to treat Ah Mao better.But after getting along during this time, she and Ah Yun also developed feelings.Layman Yishan has a wide range of friends, and as his only disciple, Ayun will definitely enjoy various benefits.

Although brother Heng is not young now, and uncle Wei's family has recovered, they are only in the northwest corner.When she really walked this way, she knew very well how big the gap was between the northwest and the capital.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life, how can a master just throw it away."

Wei's mother put on a tiger face, Ah Yun lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Ah Yun didn't want to abandon the master, but just wanted to be the same as now, and the communication between master and apprentice can also be learned."

"Precepts and deeds cannot be offset by two letters," he said in a word, and he turned to A Maowei's mother with a firm expression: "After all these years, I am used to the busyness of the capital, and I will not be able to enjoy the happiness in this life. I have done those businesses for most of my life, and I let go of them at once. I can't bear it either."

She was still reluctant to part with Wei's mother, but at this moment, Wei Wei had no reason to object.In her view, both parents and children should not interfere in the other's life because of their own selfishness.Thinking back carefully, with Mother Wei's strong woman nature, let her drink tea every day, look at new clothes like ordinary ladies, and find a few old ladies to play horses when she has nothing to do. Such a fairy life may not be suits her.

"mother."

Walking forward, she hugged Wei's mother tightly, absorbing her body temperature.

"Ah Mao is an adult now, don't be like this."

The mother and daughter hugged each other, and Mother Wei whispered persuasion in her ear.It is said that she is now a serious official wife, and she should also shoulder the responsibilities, but at the same time, she will always be her backing in the capital.

The last sentence made her especially sad. Mother went back to the capital to continue her business. In the final analysis, it was to let her have a way out.

"keep it."

After the two separated, Mother Wei stuffed a purse into her arms.You don't even need to open it, just look at the Bingdi Lian Weiwei embroidered on it and you will know that this is the purse that my mother has been hanging on her body all the time.Because the old lady Qianwei from Beijing came to her door aggressively, she almost brought all her family property with her.

"How can this be done? Give my mother something to eat."

Wei's mother raised her eyebrows, showing a domineering look on her face that was exactly the same as hers: "Mother is not stupid, this is just part of it. You have donated a lot of money for this disaster relief, and these pocket money are given by the right mother. I can't let my mother be here The capital eats delicious food and drinks spicy food, and you clear porridge and side dishes in the northwest."

It feels really sweet to have a mother who stuffs money for herself indiscriminately.

Shocked by her temperament, Wei Wei whispered: "The money we donate is either a reward from the emperor, or a bribe from others, and I didn't touch a penny of it."

Thinking of this, Wei Wei was very happy. With Zhou Qianhu bribing the 6 taels of banknotes as a base, she not only led to the disaster relief in Youzhou, but also ranked No. 2 in terms of the amount of disaster relief.As for why it is not No.1, it is because the one who donated 1 taels of No.8 is the emperor himself.

Fortunately, she admired Emperor Qinglong for this matter, and she donated 6 taels of silver plus 1000 taels of gold, equivalent to 7 taels.Originally, with her figure as a basis, people with higher official positions than Yan Heng usually had to donate upwards. 7 taels is not a small number no matter when it is placed, and corrupt officials dare not take it even if they can.Just when it was difficult for everyone, Emperor Qinglong turned out to be 8 taels, which was a big deal.Donating money is a matter of face. Whoever donates more has always had face, but no matter how big a courtier is, he can't be more face than the emperor. This trick completely freed the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty from the predicament.

"That's okay, I don't think there's too much money."

"mother."

Two voices of disapproval sounded at the same time, Wei Wei shut up, and Yan Heng stepped forward to persuade: "Mother, I have just been promoted in salary, we will not be short of money in a while."

Wei's mother smiled and said: "Look at Brother Heng's words, if you are not short of money, I am short of money. I have said this many times, I really don't want to repeat it. I am a very old woman, where can I usually spend it. You are young, it’s a good time, I can’t help you in other places of business. If I don’t have the ability today, I definitely won’t swell my face to pretend to be fat, but since I have this ability, I won’t be short of your money .”

This... Wei Wei put it away helplessly, but she made up her mind in her heart: she won't move a single coin of this money, and she will take it out exactly when Mother needs it in the future.

As if aware of what she was thinking, Mother Wei glared at her: "Ah Mao, please don't accept the flowers, otherwise I won't be able to eat well in the capital."

"Ok."

Reluctantly agreed, it was not too early, and the kung fu master had almost disappeared from sight.

"Northwest is not as peaceful as the capital. Since mother has decided to leave, she should set off early to catch up with Shengjia. My daughter has offended many people this time, so mother should be careful all the way."

Mother Wei waved her hand, and said aggressively, "Don't worry, Ah Mao."

She didn't care a bit about what she said.She has been a servant in Zhenbei Hou's Mansion for most of her life, and if it comes to working as a servant for high-ranking officials and nobles, who else is more professional than her.Wei's mother thought to herself, if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone deliberately shoots at her, even if she has a low status, she won't be so easy to provoke.

Send Wei's mother and A Yun to the carriage, and the husband and wife get on the horse and escort them all the way to catch up with Shengjia.After saying goodbye to Wei's mother again, Wei Wei, who was quite worried, still rode forward.Luckily, she found Princess Jiu who was getting out of the car and jogging. She said embarrassedly, asking her to take care of Wei's mother.

Princess Nine's answer was straightforward: "It's not a troublesome matter, so why not be embarrassed."

After she finished speaking, she directly ordered someone to pick up Wei's mother's carriage, and followed behind the carriage that belonged to her alone.

As the most favored daughter of Emperor Qinglong, Princess Nine is not only tightly guarded, but more importantly, no one dares to make trouble here without looking.Seeing this, Wei Wei was finally relieved, and slowed down to chat with Princess Nine, but she unexpectedly asked her to do something.

"Ah Mao must have noticed that the mother and concubine have taken a fancy to Ah Tong."

Wei Wei had indeed seen it long ago, but she did not expect that Princess Ninth would break the matter so bluntly.

"I won't beat around the bush with Ah Yi. Is this what Concubine Shu asked you to say?"

Seeing her being so straightforward, the ninth princess smiled and showed two small canine teeth: "Well, the mother concubine asked me to tell Ah Mao, and ask you to help look at it, don't tell Ah Tong to make a decision early."

Are they really Duan Wang and Ah Tong?Although Wei Wei had a glimmer of hope before, but after it was confirmed, she became uncertain.

"Is it for Ayi's elder brother?"

Princess Nine sneered: "Ah Mao is confused? Although I have a lot of brothers, but the one who can really make the concubine mother worry about and make decisions."

"Let me think about it," Wei Wei scratched his head and asked the deepest worry in his heart: "Is it true or not? How honorable is His Royal Highness Duan Wang?"

Ah Tong was stunned: "Noble? That's true. But Ah Mao, think about it, who in a family like us is not noble. Family background is not that important, character and education are the most important things for the mother and concubine. Tell you secretly, we Everyone likes Ah Tong, including my brother."

It seems that this is really the case. When dignity becomes a habit, it is not so important.

This is a good marriage, thinking of this, Wei Wei nodded in response.
