Chapter 171 She is not as good as Wei Qingruo in the heart of her mother
"Okay." Wei Ruo took the gift list and looked at it.
The gift Yun prepared was not expensive, but it was in line with their identities.
Too expensive would be inappropriate. Wei Mingting is a military officer and has just been promoted in the past two years. His salary is only that much, and the Wei family doesnt have much extra property. Questioned where the Wei Mansion got the money from.
"I think this kind of preparation is very good. The salute to the magistrate's mansion is not about being expensive, but about being decent and caring." Wei Ruo returned the gift list to Yun.
Mr. Yun nodded in satisfaction. In fact, just now was a test for her eldest daughter.
I want to see the eldest daughter's ability to deal with this aspect, and the eldest daughter's answer makes her very satisfied.
"Ruo'er said it very well. The gift list this time is indeed not expensive. Agricultural products and seafood are common things, but I have spent a lot of time preparing them. If it is more expensive, how can the captain's mansion be accurate?" Don't, you can't get Madam Yuan's eyes either."
Then Wei Qingwan also came.
"Mother, sister."
After entering the door, Wei Qingwan greeted Yun Shi and Wei Ruo, with low eyebrows and obedient attitude, with a well-behaved posture.
Seeing Wei Qingwan, Wei Ruo was not surprised at all. She also guessed that the Yun family might still not give up. If there is a chance to go to the magistrate's mansion, she will definitely find a way to bring Wei Qingwan there.
After Wei Qingwan entered the door, Yun took a special look at Wei Ruo, seeing that Wei Ruo didn't respond, she lost her heart.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yun showed the gift list to Wei Qingwan and asked her opinion: "Wanwan will help my mother to see if there is anything else that needs to be added to this gift list."
Wei Qingwan took a closer look, then looked up at Yun Shi, hesitating to speak.
"Just say what you have to say, there is no one else here." Yun said.
"My daughter thinks these gifts are too common for washing... My daughter is a little worried..." Wei Qingwan said cautiously.
I dare not say everything, for fear of offending Yun Shi.
The joy on Yun's face faded slightly, and then he looked at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo remained silent, pretending not to hear anything.
What Wei Qingwan thinks has nothing to do with her, she doesn't want to comment and is too lazy to comment.
When Wei Qingwan saw Yun's eyes, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Mother, is it wrong to say it's the daughter?" Wei Qingwan asked cautiously.
"Wanwan, there are some things you should really learn from your sister. I thought you would follow me to handle housework, and you would know more about things like worship than your sister."
Obviously Wei Qingwan disappointed Yun. She thought that Wei Ruocheng would not understand the things about farming when he was busy with farming, and Wei Qingwan could learn some tricks by following her.
Unexpectedly, the result was just the opposite.
Wei Qingwan was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo remained silent, as if he had never heard of the conversation between Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan.
Mr. Yun didn't say anything more, but from her expression, it can be seen that she is obviously more satisfied with Wei Ruo's today.
Then Yun took the two of them out together. On the way to the magistrate's mansion, Yun told Wei Qingwan several times:
"When you arrive at Yuan's Mansion, don't open your mouth easily. If you are told to salute, do not say a word."
"When you see Madam Yuan, don't talk too much or show cowardice. I won't mention what happened before you when I go today, and I don't ask Madam Yuan to change her impression of you, as long as you don't make trouble again."
"If you encounter someone who doesn't know what to do, just look at your sister and learn from her."
Yun family wanted to change Wei Qingwan's image in Madam Yuan's heart, but she didn't dare to let Wei Qingwan annoy Madam Yuan.
Yun's exhortations were like sharp thorns piercing into Wei Qingwan's heart.
Wei Qingwan still remembers that not long ago when Wei Ruo returned home and the three of them went out together for the first time, what her mother said in the carriage was all to tell Wei Qingruo.
Now everything has changed, the person my mother told me has become her, which means that the person I dont trust has also become her. In my mothers heart, she is not as good as Wei Qingruo.
"Yes, my daughter knows." Wei Qingwan agreed softly.
Because the greeting card was handed in early in the morning, the three of the Yun family were immediately invited in after arriving at the Yuan Mansion.
Madam Yuan received the three Yun family members in the flower hall.
Wei Qingwan kept Yun's advice in mind, and did not dare to be timid, but she also did not dare to speak easily, and sat obediently aside.
Wei Ruo sat down and drank tea generously. Madam Yuan has been here many times, so she will not be restrained.
She didn't overwhelm the guest and grab the conversation, she stayed quietly at the side, letting Mrs. Yun talk to Mrs. Yuan.
After all, Mrs. Yun is a person from the Zhongyibo Mansion in the capital. Mrs. Yun's words are decent, not overly courteous, nor does it make the conversation look awkward.
Yun mentioned the past: "I still remember that year when I saw Princess Huai in Xu Guogong's mansion, I realized that there is such an amazingly talented and beautiful person in this world."
Mr. Yun was also an official lady before marrying into Uncle Zhongyi's mansion, so she also went to Duke Xu's mansion which was in its prime, and met Mrs. Yuan's mother, Princess Huai, from afar.
Mrs. Yuan said: "My concubine mother had such a false name when she was young. It's a pity that I didn't inherit my mother's talent and appearance."
Yun Shi hurriedly said: "Where is Madam Yuan, how can you make a person like me feel ashamed?"
Mrs. Yuan said again: "However, in terms of amazing talent, brilliance, talent and appearance, my concubine mother is still not as good as the late Empress Xu, but Empress Xu was a little younger back then. When Empress Xu reaches Ji, the most beautiful woman in the capital will be... The title fell to Empress Xu."
Mr. Yun sighed slightly: "It's a pity that the confidante is so unlucky, Empress Xu died early."
Madam Yuan sighed: "If nothing like that happened in Xu Guogong's mansion, and Empress Xu didn't die, it would be great."
Mrs. Yuan did not dare to answer Mrs. Yuan's words, for fear that what she said would become a disaster.
The matter of Xu Guogong's mansion was very involved, and many people were convicted of it, so even after so many years, no one dared to mention it lightly.
The two were chatting about the past, when they heard a servant hurriedly report: the front yard is flooded.
Madam Yuan ordered all the servants in the mansion to go to the front yard to fight the fire, and she herself went to the front yard after explaining to the three of Yun.
Yun who stayed behind looked back at the two women. When she chatted with Mrs. Yuan just now, the two daughters were very quiet and decent, and she was very relieved.
Just as he was about to say something to his two daughters, there was a commotion outside.
"What's the matter? Isn't there water in the front yard? Why is there such a commotion?" Yun said.
Just now, the servants of the Yuan Mansion came to report that it was the water coming from the front yard, which is far away from here. If it was the water coming from the front yard, the movement heard here should not be so loud.
Wei Ruo also sensed that something was wrong. She vaguely heard the sound of close combat outside, and the distance was not far away.
Walking water isnt the sound, is it?
