Wei Jingwei didn't know what she was trying to do. Mei's mother had always been vulgar and rude. Even though she had been in the capital for a long time, she still couldn't get rid of her previous habit of swearing.
Thinking of this, she changed her clothes, took two maids, and walked slowly towards Ci'an Hall.
As soon as you enter the door, you will smell the fragrance of sandalwood rushing towards your nose. Sandalwood is not uncommon in the aristocratic families in the capital, and is mostly used by the wives of aristocratic families to worship Buddha.
However, it is also mixed with the aroma of breakfast. Mei Mu seems to have a great appetite early in the morning, and the dishes on the table are extremely rich.
There are chickens, ducks and fish.
This sandalwood is accompanied by a strong smell of meat, which makes Mei Mu look like a dog rather than a tiger.
Holding back the disgust in her heart, Wei Jingwei stepped forward and gave her a blessing.
"I wonder why mother called me here so early in the morning."
Mother Mei took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped the oil from her mouth.
Then he picked up the money from his mother-in-law and said in a tone of voice, "I heard that you have been very close to the Liu family recently? You have received the invitation to the Liu family's banquet, right? Then take Xiaoqin with you. She is not young. Now, you, the sister-in-law, should have some snacks. Xiaoqin has both good looks and talent, and it is more than enough for her to be a wealthy family, and she will only be kind to you and Yuan Qing."
Such a big tone, you have to be from a wealthy family to be worthy of her daughter.
I'm afraid I really want Mei Xiaoqin to marry her because of her domineering and cruel temperament.
The two families failed to get married and became enemies.
In her previous life, Mei Xiaoqin got married late, but Mei Yuanqing had already been promoted steadily at that time, so it was only natural that her marriage would get better and better, and she finally married into a noble family as she wished.
He is the second son of Prince Qi, Qi Fu.
Qi Fu is quite talented, good-looking and knowledgeable. At that time, it was also the yearning of many boudoir girls in Beijing.
However, after she got married, she relied on her brother's official position to suppress Qi Fu.
Whenever he looked at that woman, he would scream and kill her, very arrogantly.
Qi Fu was depressed and depressed, so he could only drink to relieve his sorrow every day.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes and simply replied: "My wife will do her best."
A satisfied smile appeared on Mei's mother's face, "Go ahead. Also, brother Cheng, you need to be more attentive, you know. Only when the Mei family is good can you be good."
"yes."
After leaving Ci'an Hall, Lian'er muttered dissatisfiedly, "This madam is real. The young lady has to take care of the general affairs of the house and the young master's upbringing, so she might as well break her in half by herself."
Su'er couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "You are talking like a child, why did the young lady break into two people?"
When Wei Jingwei heard this, she seemed to have thought of something. She blinked her eyes, and her thick eyelashes reflected a large shadow, and she could vaguely see a flash of thinking.
She could take this opportunity to hand over the general affairs.
The Mei family relied on her to live a smooth life, living in luxury and extravagance all day long. I just don't know if they can still live their current life without her extra money.
Returning to the yard, I heard a noise in front of me from a distance.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Mei Xiaoqin who was arguing with Ma San and others who were guarding the courtyard.
"This is my Mei family, why can't I go in?"
Ma San, "Miss, Madam asked us to guard the yard. No one is allowed to enter without her permission."
Mei Xiaoqin sneered, "Ms. Wei is my sister-in-law. She has to obey my brother's orders for everything. What's wrong with me entering the courtyard? You naughty slaves, be careful and I'll have you beaten out. You are really a despicable slave. I don’t even know who the master is.”
Ma San's expression did not change and he still stood where he was.
"Miss, please come back."
Mei Xiaoqin was furious. The servant in front of her actually dared to go against her. She stepped forward and wanted to hold Ma San with her hand.
"stop!"
Wei Jingwei scolded.
Mei Xiaoqin turned around and saw Wei Jingwei, then reluctantly put down her hand.
He said disdainfully, "Sister-in-law is really kind, but she just beats a slave. Maybe I can't beat him anymore."
"This slave is also my slave. If he does something wrong, just tell me, sister."
"Well, I wanted to enter the yard just now, but these slaves didn't allow me to enter. I want to ask, sister-in-law, do you want to protect such a dog slave?"
After speaking, Mei Xiaoqin raised her eyebrows, her eyes provocative.
Wei Jingwei sneered, "I ordered them to guard the yard. Then my sister also needs to slap me twice to calm down."
"What does my sister-in-law mean by finding a few people to guard the door at the entrance of the yard? It's because she can't trust me, or her brother, or... my mother."
Mei Xiaoqin's eyes flickered, her every word was aggressive, and her words had hidden secrets, obviously trying to trip her up.
Wei Jingwei ignored her question and asked instead.
"Then I would like to ask my sister why she broke into my yard today."
She said this so straightforwardly that Mei Xiaoqin immediately turned ugly.
"I...I'm thinking about following you to Liu's house in a few days. My clothes and jewelry are also old now, so I can't wear them out to socialize with people. Others will look down on me. My sister-in-law brought a lot of trousseau jewelry. I can borrow a few belts, and I can save some flowers. Could it be that... my sister-in-law refuses?"
"It's not that I refuse, but since what happened last time, there have been rumors in the capital that the Mei family embezzled their daughter-in-law's dowry. If I lend it to you again, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your brother's reputation in the future. When he walks in the court, he always It’s not good to carry this stigma.”
"Besides, these external things don't matter when going out to socialize. If my sister is kind-hearted and upright and sincere, she won't need all these gold and jade."
Mei Xiaoqin heard that she was sarcastic about herself, and her chest heaved with anger. She pointed at Wei Jingwei and was speechless.
"you!"
Wei Jingwei stood there with a slight smile on her face.
Ignoring her anger, he said calmly: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
No matter how reckless Mei Xiaoqin was, she had suffered a lot at her hands these days. She knew she couldn't act recklessly, so she calmed down now.
He just turned his eyes and said fiercely: "We'll see."
Then he turned around and left with the maid.
Wei Jingwei took two steps back slightly and watched their figures leave.
Although she didn't know what Mei Xiaoqin planned to do, she was not afraid at all.
Closing her eyes, she turned to Ma San and the others and said, "Well done, go back to Su'er to receive the reward."
Ma San and others bowed their heads to thank them.
Wei Jingwei had just woken up in the morning, with soft and thick hair draped behind her back, wearing a snow-white uniform, and holding a fresh flower in her white fingers thoughtfully.
"Did you see clearly that this flower was sent by Xia Ning? He is feeling better."
Lian'er smiled and nodded, "I gave him some money last time. The doctor said he was almost well, but he was a little weaker and needed more replenishing. This kid is also a person who repays kindness. Knowing that our lady is good, he Send a flower early in the morning."
Looking at the flowers in her hands, Wei Jingwei didn't know what to think.
The people who made her work hard in her previous life have never been grateful to her. Instead, they all wish she was dead.
On the other hand, I was just doing a little work that day, and it was a waste of time for others to worry about me.
