These words made Mei Yuan Qingdao's face look even uglier. The superior Mei's mother felt pity and anger in her heart, and scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I think he has eyesight and cannot recognize Mount Tai. Brother Cheng, if he doesn't accept a good scholar like him, how can he teach any good students? As for Jiu, I think your Wei family and Liu family's reputation is nothing more than that!"
She spoke urgently and angrily, and the meaning behind her words was extremely unpleasant.
Wei Jingwei looked at Mei Mu who was looking up with steady eyes, and said calmly: "What mother said is very inappropriate. My father is also a fourth-rank official now. Although my grandfather is gone, he is still a general. Even the Holy Emperor once said He praised it well. Do you mean to say that the Holy Spirit’s judgment was wrong?”
Mei Yuanqing was shocked by the meaning of these words. His career would be over if these words spread.
"What my mother said out of anger should not be taken seriously. You... I don't want to argue with her."
"Yes...I just said casually, why do you still accuse me? I am your mother."
Wei Jingwei stood there motionless and said in a deep voice: "Jingwei believes that even mother should not talk nonsense and insult my mother's family and my maternal family."
Mei's mother became angry and pointed at her with a trembling finger: "You little hooves, how dare you contradict me."
Mei Yuanqing's face also darkened. Wei Jingwei was getting more and more out of control these days. The gentleness and gentleness of the past are completely gone.
"Wei, please apologize to mother quickly."
"Do you think there is something wrong with what I said? Today, my mother is in Mei Mansion without any hindrance. What if she is listened to by interested people elsewhere tomorrow?"
Wei Jingwei looked at him coldly and her tone was very calm.
The meaning of her words made Mei Yuanqing lower his head and think deeply.
Although it had been some time since he had been in Beijing, his mother still spoke and behaved as before when she lived in the countryside, which made him really embarrassed. Although what Wei said didn't sound good, it was the truth.
Come to think of it, she still has her own feelings in her heart...
Thinking of this, he looked at Wei Jingwei with a very gentle look.
Wei Jingwei's eyes trembled when she was caught by this look. Did Mei Yuanqing eat the wrong things recently? Why did she look at her with such disgusting eyes from time to time.
She rubbed her arms subconsciously, silently easing the nausea and greasy feeling just now.
"Mother, what Mrs. Wei said is not unreasonable. It's okay to just talk about it at home. If it is heard by interested people outside or by my opponents, if these words are spread out and the Holy Spirit knows about it, your son, my The official career has come to an end."
When Mei Yuanqing said this, his eyes were very serious.
Mei Mu looked a little embarrassed.
After a while, she stuttered and said: "Is it really that serious? I am also an in-law of the Wei family and the Liu family. What's wrong with gossiping? Who of us in the countryside doesn't gossip? Why are there so many rules in the capital... ..."
Although she showed extreme unwillingness, she seemed to have listened to Mei Yuanqing's words.
Mother Mei thought for a moment and then said, "What about Brother Cheng's admission to school? Mrs. Wei, why don't you go and beg Mr. Kang for mercy..."
"no."
"Mother, no."
Before she could finish her words, they were rejected by both of them.
Mei's mother looked very ugly and said in a very angry tone: "This won't work, that won't work, what should I do? Wei went to ask Mr. Kang what's wrong. Brother Cheng is such a smart person, maybe Mr. Kang is watching I lost my sight."
"Mom, if Mr. Kang has already rejected Brother Cheng, and I ask again, wouldn't it be trampling on the reputation of the Wei family, the Liu family, and the Mei family? What's more, others may think that Brother Cheng is not talented, so There is no place willing to take it, so we need to get so angry and ask for it.”
"That's all, what do you think we should do? We can't let him stay away from school."
Seeing the three people quarreling over his schooling, Brother Cheng felt a little ashamed in his heart. He lowered his head and remained silent since Wei Jingwei entered the room.
"I'm afraid I need to move around more for this matter."
The implication is that she has tried her best, and the rest is up to you.
Move around more? Put simply!
Mei Yuanqing's face was livid. He was a very self-respecting person, and he was an official of the Hanlin Academy. I was running around today, and the soles of a pair of newly made boots were almost worn out. And when those people looked at the expressions on his and Brother Cheng's faces, they made him want to turn around and leave.
It would be better if I never come to my door again.
Mei Yuanqing's tone was low, "There is no other way."
Wei Jingwei thought for a moment and said in a very indifferent tone, "Of course there are ways. Many aristocratic families in Beijing have private schools, and some of them are quite good. If I have someone familiar with me, this will be easy. If this doesn't work, then We can only find some ordinary teachers. If Brother Cheng is a good talent, after he is admitted as a scholar, it will probably be easier to find some famous teachers."
She said this on purpose. Not everyone could attend the private schools of the aristocratic families in Beijing. Generally, only the younger members of the family or those with very close relationships were allowed to attend. Or maybe he is a disciple of an elder in the family.
Mei Yuanqing was a newcomer to the Hanlin Academy. In her previous life, she could rely on her dowry or other things to gain some support. In this life, she is not prepared to support him like this.
He doesn't deserve it.
Mei Yuanqing didn't want to lose face at home, and of course she didn't want to say that she didn't know anyone from a well-known family.
Because I can't make friends.
"Then let's find an ordinary teacher to teach Brother Cheng first. He's not stupid, but his temper is not calm enough. In time, if he becomes a scholar, then we can find another teacher."
After hearing this, Mei's mother felt helpless, but she had no choice but to do so now.
The matter of Brother Cheng's study was thus settled.
The sky was slightly bright, and Wei Jingwei was dressing up under the care of two maids early in the morning.
"Madam, there is a servant in the garden outside. I want my slave to pass this to you."
Lu Liu, a second-class maid from outside, walked into the inner room, saluted and said hello, then handed over a flower.
"let it go."
"yes."
Luliu put down the flowers and walked out.
After they left, Lian'er clicked her tongue and said, "This Xia Ning is really perseverant. Miss, you haven't even shown your kindness for so long, yet he still sends flowers every day." She pouted and said, "If Brother Cheng can have him, With a somewhat grateful heart, the young lady won’t be as cold as she is now.”
Wei Jingwei looked at herself in the mirror. These days, since she let go of the obsessions of the previous life, her whole person looks brand new, no longer as lifeless as before.
Reaching out and touching Bu Yao on her temples, she said in a deep voice, "The news has been released."
