"Okay, I've sent it to you. Su'er, send it out properly."
Su'er understood and kindly took the child out of the yard. After some pleasantries, he took out some broken silver from his sleeve and handed it over.
"These are rewards from Madam for you. You have done a good job. If there is any news in the future, feel free to send it to me. Madam is kind enough not to treat you badly."
The little maid's face showed joy, this was really an unexpected surprise.
Yingge was kind to her in the past, so she came to deliver the letter without hesitation.
As a result, there was still money left, so she happily took it and thanked him. He also promised to do things well in the future.
Su'er smiled, encouraged her a few more words, and walked back to the house.
Wei Jingwei was sitting on the soft couch, leaning there and reading the letter in her hand. There was no expression on her face, which made it difficult to tell what her mood was.
.....................
In Ci'an Hall, the old lady was being served by a maid and was lying down to rest after taking some medicine.
Nowadays, her energy is short, she is always tired, and she can only lie on the bed to rest.
The day Mei Xiaoqin left, she heard from the maids that Qi Yuelai came to pick her up in person, and the couple went back lovingly, and she felt relieved.
My heart felt relieved.
But because of the long nights and long dreams, she asked the maids around her to find out many times, and the news she got was all good, so she was completely relieved.
But she didn't know that the personal maid Mei Xiaoqin brought with her had been flirting with Qi Yue for a long time, and her heart had long been turned away, so how could she be willing to tell the truth.
Of course I pick up what I like to hear.
In a few days, I'm afraid she will be taken into the house and become an aunt.
This matter was just concealed.
After the old lady was relieved, she still asked her son to take care of her sister. Now that the Mei family was in troubled times, Mei Yuanqing also received a lot of cold looks in the Hanlin Academy and felt depressed.
On this day, after returning home, Mei Yuanqing went to Ci'an Hall to visit Mei's mother as usual. After waiting for her to get up and sit down, she heard her chattering.
After listening to it for a long time, he couldn't help but retort, "Mother, you should let your sister learn to be gentle and virtuous. Qi Yue is a noble man, and there are many people in the family who can talk in the court. If you let her She keeps messing around, which will only make it more difficult for me in the future. Do you and I still know about her temper? It must be her problem. If she marries into someone else's family, why should she still treat her as if she is in her mother's family and continue to act willfully? "
After hearing this, the old lady was speechless for a moment. What Mei Yuanqing said was not unreasonable.
If it was because she cared too much about her daughter that it would be difficult for her son to be in the officialdom, she didn't want to.
"Son, I want to ask you, Qi Yue...is he a good man?"
Mei's mother was a little uneasy.
Mei Yuanqing raised his eyelids and said, "Mom, that Qi Yue has relied on his family connections to get a position as a sixth-grade official, and he seems to be doing well now. Even the Holy Emperor praised him once, and there is no doubt that he will do it again in the future. Go up. Such a person is no longer a good man."
Mei's mother was a little unhappy after hearing this, but suppressed it.
"I wanted to take Xiaoqin back to stay for a few days, but Mrs. Wei said that there are a lot of things going on at home now, and it would be inappropriate for her to come back, so she had to stop me."
She originally intended for Mei Yuanqing to reprimand Wei Jingwei or agree with her opinion, but she didn't expect it.
"Mother, Mrs. Wei warned you back then. There are many rules in this high-ranking Qi family. In the past, I had to come back often or suffer some grievances. These are things that both you and your sister know. How can you blame her now? Here she is. Besides, she has only been married for a short time, and she has been going back to her parents' house several times. If people outside know about it, she will definitely say some unpleasant things. Then it will affect the harmony between the two families. "
Mei Yuanqing felt a little depressed after saying this, and not one or two of the Mei family members were worried.
Zhang Ruoruo has been having a bad temper these days. He originally thought that Brother Cheng was injured, which made him feel sad. The two of them broke up on bad terms that day, so he just went to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruo was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the gate of Cuizhuyuan, he couldn't tell what he felt.
He also wanted to go to Hongxia Courtyard to repair his relationship with Wei. When he reached the door of the courtyard, he was stopped by Ma San, who said that he would not be released until he reported the matter.
But every time Wei refused because she was not feeling well or had other excuses.
But he was standing at the door, and the room was full of laughter. Such an obvious rejection made him feel uncomfortable.
Maybe she had other ideas when marrying her, but now that it's done, why is she still so stubborn and refuses to give the two of them a chance?
Thinking of this, he became a little discouraged.
Turned around and left Hongxia Pavilion.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Mrs. Wei for not being in his heart before. If she didn't always put on the airs of a daughter of aristocratic family, don't act dignified and virtuous, be gentle and petty, she would be like... Zhang Ruoruo It seems that the two of them will probably not reach the point where they are now.
After Wei Jingwei came in, the Mei family's living standard improved several levels.
The Mei family has no background, and their lives are always fussy.
Now that there is no boss, although it is better to rely on loan sharks, it is probably still far worse than when Wei Jingwei was the boss.
Wei Jingwei, who had no idea about the conversation between the mother and son in Ci'an Hall, casually threw the letter on the table after reading it.
He rubbed his forehead and chuckled a few times, "Mei Xiaoqin seems to be not having a very good life these days. In this letter, she wants to go home. It's the end of the year after all. She should come back, but I don’t know... whether her coming back this time will be a blessing or a curse for the Mei family."
As she spoke, she turned to look out the window at the fluttering snowflakes.
It was a beautiful scene.
After agreeing on the date of returning home, the old lady finally felt a little happier. When she saw Wei Jingwei, she was full of praises, "Ms. Wei is a filial person and knows that I feel sorry for Xiaoqin. Why don't I just write a letter asking her to come home?" ”
Mei Yuanqing glanced at Wei Jingwei in surprise, and when she saw that there was no expression on her face, she moved her eyes away.
For today, the old lady had been preparing early in the morning.
A lot of pastries and fruits that Mei Xiaoqin used to love were placed in the house, and some of her favorite flowers were also put in. The house was filled with sweetness.
It's a pity that she just waited and waited from day to night, but she still didn't see Mei Xiaoqin returning home.
His tone was a little impatient, "Why hasn't your sister come back today? Why don't you send someone to find out what delayed her."
Mei's mother had been looking forward to it all day. After taking a nap at noon, she got up in a hurry and asked Mei Xiaoqin if she was back. When he heard that she had not returned home, he was very disappointed and took a few mouthfuls of food and refused to eat.
As a result, at night, the son came back from the Hanlin Academy, but he still didn't see his daughter.
