Chapter 171 – She’s not as good as Wei Qingruo in her mother’s heart.
by Jessie@AFNCC“Good.” Wei Ruo took the gift list and looked at it.
The gifts prepared by Yun were not expensive, but they were just right for their status.
Too expensive instead of inappropriate, Wei Mingting is a military officer, or just promoted up in the past two years, the salary is so much in total, the Wei family is not much extra industry, if out of the worship gift is too expensive, but let a person question the Wei House from where the money.
“I think it’s good to prepare like this, the worship gift to the governor’s residence is not expensive, it’s in decency and in the heart.” Wei Ruo returned the gift list to Yun.
Yun nodded with satisfaction, in fact, just now was also a test for her eldest daughter.
Wanted to see how well her eldest daughter handled her response to this aspect.
“Ruo’er said very well, this time the gift list is really not expensive, agricultural products, seafood, are some common things, but it is indeed I spent some effort to prepare, if than expensive, the school lieutenant’s residence how to quasi-discriminatory, will not be able to enter the eyes of Mrs. Yuan.”
And then Wei Qingwan also came.
“Mother, sister.”
Entering the door, Wei Qingwan greeted Yun and Wei Ruo with a low brow and submissive, well-behaved posture.
Seeing Wei Qingwan, Wei Ruo wasn’t surprised at all, she also guessed that Yun might still be undeterred, and with the opportunity to go to the governor’s mansion, she would definitely try to find a way to bring Wei Qingwan there.
After Wei Qingwan entered the door, Yun specifically glanced at Wei Ruo and saw that Wei Ruo had no reaction before she dropped her heart back.
Immediately after that, Yun took the gift list to Wei Qingwan and asked for her opinion, “Wanwan help for my mother to see, what else needs to be added to this gift list.”
After Wei Qingwan took a closer look, she looked up at Yun, wanting to speak.
“Just say what you have to say, there’s no one else here.” Yun said.
“Daughter feels that all these gifts are too wash usual …… Daughter is a little worried ……” Wei Qingwan said carefully.
The words didn’t dare to say the whole thing for fear of upsetting Yun.
The joy on Yun’s face dissipated slightly, and she immediately looked at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo was silent, pretending that he hadn’t heard anything.
What Wei Qingwan thinks has nothing to do with her, she doesn’t want to evaluate and is too lazy to do so.
When Wei Qingwan saw Yun’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
“Mother, is there something my daughter said wrong?” Wei Qingwan cautiously opened her mouth to inquire.
“Wanwan, there are some places you should really learn more from your sister, I thought that you would follow me in dealing with household chores on a daily basis, and you would know more than your sister on the matter of the worship gift list.”
Obviously Wei Qingwan let Yun disappointed, she thought Wei Ruo day to day running outside, busy planting those things, on this aspect will not understand, and Wei Qingwan follow their own more or less can learn some doorway.
I didn’t realize it would turn out to be just the opposite.
Wei Qingwan froze, then turned her head to look at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo remained silent, as if she hadn’t heard the conversation between Yun and Wei Qingwan.
Yun didn’t say anything else, but from her expression she could tell that she was clearly more satisfied with Wei Ruo’s today.
And then Yun took the two of them out together, and on the way to the governor’s residence, Yun urged Wei Qingwan several times:
“When you arrive at the Yuan Mansion, don’t open your mouth easily, salute when you’re told to, and don’t say a word of anything superfluous.”
“See Mrs. Yuan must not talk too much and must not show fear, today go I will not mention your previous things, also do not ask Mrs. Yuan can change the impression of you, as long as you don’t mess up again can be.”
“If you come across something you don’t know what to do, you look at your sister and learn from her.”
Yun wanted to reverse Wei Qingwan’s image in Mrs. Yuan’s mind, but she didn’t dare to take the risk of letting Wei Qingwan annoy Mrs. Yuan.
Yun’s admonishing words were like a sharp thorn in Wei Qingwan’s heart.
Wei Qingwan remembers not long ago when Wei Ruo returned to the house and the three of them went out together for the first time, and what her mother said on the carriage was still all about admonishing Wei Qingruo.
Now everything has changed, the person that her mother instructed has become her, meaning that the person she doesn’t trust has also become her, and in her mother’s heart she is not as good as Wei Qingruo anymore.
“Yes, daughter knows.” Wei Qingwan softly agreed.
Because they had handed in their invitations early in the morning, upon arriving at the Yuan Mansion, the three Yuns were immediately invited in.
Mrs. Yuan received Yun’s trio in the flower hall.
Wei Qingwan remembered Yun’s instructions and didn’t dare to act timid, but she also didn’t dare to speak up easily, sitting obediently on the side.
Wei Ruo sat down to drink tea generously, Mrs. Yuan here she has come many times, since she will not be formal.
She didn’t clamor to steal the conversation either, and quietly stayed on the sidelines, letting Yun go and talk to Mrs. Yuan.
In the end, Yun was a person who came out of the Zhongyi Burial House in the capital, and Yun spoke appropriately without being overly attentive or making the conversation seem awkward.
Yun brought up the past, “I still remember meeting Princess Huai at the Duke Xu’s mansion that year, and realizing that there was such an amazingly talented person in the world.”
Yun married into the Zhongyi Burial House is also a government lady, so has also been to the flourishing Duke Xu’s house, but also seen from afar Mrs. Yuan’s mother, Consort Huai Wang.
Mrs. Yuan said, “My mother’s consort had this false reputation when she was young, but it’s a pity that I didn’t inherit my mother’s talent and looks.”
Yun was busy saying, “Where do you think Mrs. Yuan is coming from, how can you say that to make a person like me ashamed of myself?”
Mrs. Yuan added: “But in terms of stunning talent and talent and appearance, my mother consort is still not as good as the late Empress Xu, only that year Empress Xu is still a little smaller, and so on Empress Xu and maturity, that the title of the capital’s first beauty will fall on the body of Empress Xu.”
Yun sighed slightly, “It’s just a pity that red faces have a thin life, Empress Xu was swarmed early.”
Mrs. Yuan sighed, “If something like that hadn’t happened to the Duke of Xu’s Mansion, and Empress Xu hadn’t been princely, how good it would have been.”
Mrs. Yuan’s words Yun didn’t dare to pick up, fearing that what she said would turn into a disaster.
When the Duke of Xu things involved a wide range of people, a lot of people were convicted, so even if things past so many years, we do not dare to easily mention.
The two were chatting about the past, when they heard the subordinate hurriedly came to report: the front yard went into the water.
Mrs. Yuan ordered all the people in the house to go to the front yard to put out the fire, and she herself went to the front yard after explaining a few words to Yun’s trio.
Yun, who stayed behind, turned back to look at the two women, just now when she was chatting with Mrs. Yuan, the two daughters were quiet and decent, she was very pleased.
He was about to say something to his two daughters when the sound of commotion came from outside.
“What’s going on here? Isn’t there water in the front yard? Why make such a big commotion?” Yun said.
Just now, Yuan’s subordinates came to report that the water in the forecourt, the forecourt is far away from here, if it is the forecourt water, this side of the movement heard should not be so big.
Wei Ruo also sensed that something was wrong, she vaguely heard the sound of a short fight outside, and it didn’t sound like it was far away.
That’s not the sound of running water, is it?
