Everyone in Beijing used to hate Mei Mu's vulgar style, which was also a pain in Mei Mu's heart these days.
If this wedding banquet can change everyone's minds, it will be a great deal.
Wei Jingwei felt that if she didn't intervene and persuaded those who needed to be persuaded, there would be no way for Mei Xiaoqin to use this to frame her in the future.
The preparations for the wedding banquet were intensive. A week later, the Mei Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was a bustling place. Red lanterns were hung everywhere and Double Happiness stickers were plastered all over.
Mei's mother was overjoyed. Mei Xiaoqin even wore a bright red wedding dress. She held Mei's hand and cried loudly before she got on the sedan chair and went to Qi's house with a happy face. .
Wei Jingwei stood among the guests, watching Mei Xiaoqin go away with the others.
Watching her happily walking towards the marriage she had longed for.
She doesn't know if she will regret her choice today if she knows about Qi Yue's "great achievements" in the future.
Mei Xiaoqin's dowry was only thirty dan, and it was still watery, which made the Qi family a little dissatisfied, but overall the marriage went very smoothly.
Liu Meihua, who is already married, came to congratulate her on behalf of the Liu family on the day of the wedding.
She has a beautiful face, a green hairpin on her temples, and a brocade robe embroidered with complicated and extravagant patterns. The corners of her skirt are flying. There is also a faint smile on her face, but the smile does not reach her eyes. That’s it.
She stepped forward and held Wei Jingwei's hand, frowning and said: "Sister, these days are not bad." She looked around at the surrounding decorations and the dishes of the wedding banquet, and then continued: "Is it possible that my sister paid for these arrangements."
Many people in Beijing knew that the Mei family had a poor financial background. This was already well known to everyone. However, the wedding banquet was held with great success, and it was very reasonable to suspect that Wei Jingwei had contributed money and effort.
After all, she had been willing to pay in the past.
Seeing Liu Meihua's worries, Wei Jingwei smiled and patted the back of her hand, and whispered: "I didn't pay a penny for this wedding banquet. Not only that, I didn't even add a single piece of makeup."
"My good sister, I have been worried about whether it was you since I heard about it on the way here... Now I am finally relieved." Liu Meihua patted her chest exaggeratedly.
"Don't talk about me. What about you? What does Qi Fu do to you?"
Talking about Qi Fu, a blush appeared on Liu Meihua's pretty face. She glanced at her shyly and whispered: "He was very good to me. After I got married, all my former partners were dismissed. Even the maids given by others were confiscated."
Her voice became softer and softer, and her face became redder.
Seeing her rosy face and radiant face, Wei Jingwei knew that she was very satisfied with this marriage.
"Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved, and I will have a good time with Qi Fu in the future. He is a good person."
"Yes, my sister knows. He will take the exam soon. When he gets an official position, we will go out and live alone."
Wei Jingwei was a little puzzled, "Is it because the eldest sister-in-law of the Qi family is hard to get along with?"
Qi Fu's mother was famously kind. The girl the eldest brother of the Qi family married was also the daughter of a noble family. I heard she was also very gentle and virtuous.
Logically speaking, there is no need for such families to separate.
Could it be that the rumors are wrong?
"No, my sister misunderstood. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are very kind to me, but... I still like to have a small family of my own and live a carefree life."
When Liu Meihua mentioned Xiaojia, a look of yearning appeared on her face.
Wei Jingwei understood instantly that Liu Meihua was trained as a wife from aristocratic families, even though the people in the Qi family were very kind and happy to get along with. But in the end, the eldest brother of the Qi family is still in charge, and he will still have to make a living in the hands of others in the future. How could Liu Meihua, who was so angry, be willing to do so?
The wedding banquet went smoothly, and many people who came and went didn't say anything for the sake of the Qi family, even if they didn't care about the Mei family.
It actually made Mei Yuanqing's face light up.
From now on, he will be the uncle of the second master of the Qi family.
Everyone also treats him differently.
Even his colleagues who usually look down on him today greeted him politely and offered congratulatory gifts.
Mei Yuanqing was even more satisfied with this marriage.
After Mei Xiaoqin got married, Mei Mansion instantly became deserted.
The housekeeper matter fell through again. Mei's mother hinted several times that Wei Jingwei would take over the housekeeping job, but she refused on the grounds of being unwell.
Nowadays, the Mei family doesn't even have anyone who can manage the house.
Moreover, Zhongfu has no money, so it would be best for Wei to take over. Even Mei Yuanqing shamelessly went to Hongxia Pavilion several times to look for her, but Wei Jingwei still complained of illness and saw no one.
"Miss, these chestnuts are roasted and ready to eat. I'll peel them for you. You can try them quickly."
Lian'er enthusiastically pushed the freshly roasted and sweet chestnuts to Wei Jingwei.
She paused her writing hand, then scrubbed it and picked up the chestnuts to enjoy.
There is no sign of illness.
"The old lady and I are probably going crazy these days." Su'er also took a bite of the chestnut and said with a smile.
"I didn't like my housekeeper before and felt that my management was not good. Now it's so easy to let me take over again." Wei Jingwei ate chestnuts in small mouthfuls, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction on her face.
"That's right, Miss has done so much for this mansion in the past. When we first entered the house, even the tiles needed to be repaired, and we personally supervised it. Not to mention the expense and effort, it's not enough. According to me, it's really It’s thankless.”
Lian'er stuffed several chestnuts into her mouth in succession, her face looking like a little squirrel. Chestnuts are very cute to eat.
Soon, Zhang Ruoruo and Aunt Ruan from Mei Mansion took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to stop the housekeeper's affairs.
Both parties were very enthusiastic and pestered Mei Mu and Mei Yuanqing in different ways every day.
However, Aunt Ruan was getting older and was inconvenient, so Zhang Ruoruo took over.
As a result, Zhang Ruoruo was dumbfounded as soon as she took over. She estimated that the government would not be well off now and would need to redistribute the work.
Who would have known that the middle fee only had one thousand taels of silver!
She looked at the account book and was very angry. She threw the account book on the ground angrily.
"Really... how can we get enough money? There are so many mouths in the house!" She sat weakly on the chair and murmured to herself.
Gui Yuan stepped forward and said, "Auntie, if we don't have enough money, so many people in the house will be useless. I think it's better to tailor the manpower?"
Zhang Ruoruo's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly, thinking this was a good idea.
She quickly looked at the list of personnel and started cutting.
She didn't dare to cut the maids in the old lady's Ci'an Hall, but wouldn't she dare to do it with Hongxia Pavilion and Aunt Ruan?
As a result, as soon as I started cutting out a few people, a woman said with a look of embarrassment on her face.
