I think she worked so hard to pave the way for him.
But the result is that he is not a white-eyed wolf.
She sneered in her heart again and again, not even bothering to raise her eyelids.
Mei Yuanqing frowned when he heard her neither salty nor bland tone.
"You are his mother, you should be more attentive. Brother Cheng is very smart. If he becomes a talented person in the future, it will be a good thing for you..."
Hearing what she said, Wei Jingwei felt sick in her heart.
"Am I paying attention? Ever since he returned home, he broke up with me when I asked him about his studies. I would like to ask you, how should I pay attention?"
"Brother Cheng has always been sensible and obedient, how could he be like you said?"
After hearing this, Mei Yuanqing's face darkened, obviously thinking that she was trying to shirk her words.
But yes, Mei Yunli always only scorned and lost his temper in front of him. In front of his wife and Mei Yuanqing, he has always been obedient and cute.
She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Actually, there is nothing we can do. I have a list of several gentlemen here. But these people are usually good-tempered and do not accept mediocre people. If you want to get started, you must Take the exam first."
Mei Yunqing's expression improved after hearing this, "Madam, please give me the list. I'll have to urge Brother Cheng to get it ready in the next few days. I'll take a rest in a few days and take him to your door in person. It’s not difficult for Brother Cheng to be smart.”
After the two of them chatted, when Mei Yuanqing left Hongxia Courtyard, Su'er came to her side, frowned and whispered: "Miss, this young master does not obey your discipline, and his temper is very unruly. He comes to say hello too many times on weekdays. If you are negligent, why would you bother to find a teacher for such a person?"
Wei Jingwei tucked her hair behind her ears and was silent before she sneered.
"My silly Su'er, he wants to take someone as his teacher, but he has to wait and see whether he will accept me. You also know that he doesn't accept my discipline, and he usually does his calligraphy and reading perfunctorily. How can such a person pass? Can you pass the exam? I’m afraid you’ll be laughing at me when the time comes.”
Su'er thought for a while and said anxiously: "But just now I said, Miss, please supervise me more. If you don't succeed in the future, I will blame you..."
"I urged him, but he didn't listen to me. What can I do? You think so." After that, she winked at Su'er.
In addition, she has another purpose in doing this. As a mother, her children are the most important thing in her heart.
She had always suspected that Zhang Ruoruo was in the capital, but she didn't know where he was hidden by Mei Yuanqing.
If Brother Cheng is not doing well, she believes that Zhang Ruoruo will definitely not be able to sit still!
She has been hiding and not coming out, just waiting for the opportunity, but this time, she will not allow Zhang Ruoruo to stay dormant in the dark, she will force herself to come out!
Early morning, inside Ci'an Hall.
Mother Mei ate her breakfast leisurely with the maid serving her, seeming to have forgotten Wei Jingwei beside her.
She wasn't stupid either. When she saw that Mei's mother didn't reply after saying hello, she looked weak and found a chair to sit down comfortably.
Mrs. Mei glanced at it from the corner of her eye, twitched the corner of her mouth, and the spoon in her hand fell heavily into the bowl, making a crisp sound.
She wiped her mouth, and the corners of her mouth curved downwards in a very mean manner, "I won't eat, I have no appetite."
Wei Jingwei, who was sitting on the chair, found it funny. She had used up all the breakfast on this table, including three steamed buns, a bowl of millet porridge, a few dishes of side dishes and desserts.
Leave some green vegetables.
If everyone can claim to have a bad appetite, then no one will have a good appetite.
After the maids helped her clean her hands, she turned to look at her as if she was aware of Wei Jingwei.
"Ms. Wei, when did you come? Why did you sit there without saying a word, as if I was deliberately treating you coldly." After speaking, she picked up a cup of hot tea and blew on it.
She knew that Mei's mother did this on purpose and wanted to beat her up.
"My daughter-in-law came in just now to say hello. I must have heard you, madam, because you were enjoying your meal."
Mei's mother's brows jumped. Just now, she deliberately said that she had no appetite, but Wei actually said that she used the fragrance. This must be intentional.
But thinking about the purpose of inviting Wei Jingwei here today, she suppressed the abuse that was about to come out of her mouth.
After clearing her throat, she took on the role of her mother-in-law and asked, "I asked you to come here today because I want you to go home and ask your father to find a famous teacher for my brother Cheng."
Wei Jingwei raised her eyes and saw that the old woman had such a loud voice. She opened her mouth to ask her to go home and beg.
Pursing her lips, Wei Jingwei said with some embarrassment, "I came yesterday. We discussed letting Brother Cheng take the entrance exam. Maybe he fell in love with that famous teacher."
Mei's mother said dissatisfied: "Why do smart people like us, Brother Cheng, need to take exams? You should prepare your horses and go back today. Don't waste time."
"Yes, my official position is not enough now. I go home to beg my father, and then my maternal grandfather's house to ask them to find some connections. If that doesn't work, I go to beg the ladies I know from other families. It’s easier than me bringing brother Cheng to your door to ask for help.”
After hearing this, Mei's mother made a "bang" sound, and the tea cup and the coffee table made a violent collision sound.
Her face darkened, and she opened her mouth to curse: "What you mean is that my son is not worthy enough and is not as good as you from aristocratic families, right?"
Although Mei's mother is a fool, she also knows that civil servants need face and character most.
If word spread like this, the entire Mei family might be stabbed in the back.
Wei Jingwei sneered, she had been married for a year, and although she had a bad relationship with her father, she always came back to see him during the holidays.
But Mei Yuanqing didn't do it even once!
He never accompanied her back home even once!
In this case, where does the wishful thinking come from to ask her to go back and plead for mercy?
"Mom, no need. My son will take Brother Cheng to invite him."
Suddenly, Mei Yuanqing came to Ci'an Hall without knowing when, and walked in with a cold face.
Just now he listened clearly outside, heard his mother asking Wei Jingwei to ask for help, and heard Wei Jingwei's words.
If she was really allowed to beg, how would she face those people in the court?
But the thing that made her feel the most uncomfortable was Wei's words. She always felt that she... was ridiculing both inside and outside of her words.
Mei Yuanqing curled up his fingers and pinched out bloody traces.
When Wei Jingwei saw what he said, she felt relieved. He quickly stood up and saluted and prepared to leave.
When Mei Yuanqing saw her back and was about to leave Ci'an Hall, he stopped her and said, "I asked Brother Cheng to go to your courtyard. From today until he goes to become a disciple, he will study with you."
After all, the Wei family is also a famous family, and Wei Jingwei has been exposed to it since childhood. There is no one more suitable for her in the house.
"good."
She lowered her eyes and agreed, then withdrew.
When he walked outside, he lifted up the corner of his mouth and revealed an inexplicable smile.
