Chapter 4 4. Giving jade
"Xia Lu, don't talk nonsense. Sister Feng is so kind. There must be a reason for this arrangement, right, Miss Hydrangea."
Having said that, she deliberately used Xia Lu's mouth to slap Feng Jinyao in the face.
Xiangqiu didn't know what she was thinking, but she still had an honest look on her face and answered respectfully.
"Since the beginning of winter, my wife has been ill. It has been almost two months and she is not getting better. Although the cough is not contagious, my wife has issued strict orders not to allow people to go to the back house for fear that the illness will pass. . My young lady thinks so too, but the warm areas in the house are close to the backyard, but the Moon Pavilion is far away."
“Yes, I’m telling you that Sister Feng must have a deep meaning in this arrangement. I’ll wait for her to come later and thank you very much.”
The spring breeze turned into rain on his face, and he looked at the hydrangea and felt very contemptuous in his heart.
She has seen young ladies who are hypocritical and hypocritical, but it is rare that they can be so shameless in rushing to establish relationships and win favors.
He arranged for the girl to bring a pot of hot tea and several plates of cakes, and then left.
Xia Lu took a few steps forward, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Wen Yuwei, and asked with some confusion.
"It's such a cold weather, why do you have to go all the way? Aren't you going to the Bai family for a banquet tomorrow? Just give this jade pendant away then, why bother?"
"You are still naive. I came to say hello earlier today. With the friendship of this jade pendant, I will be more familiar with you tomorrow. The birthday banquet of the old lady of the Bai family is not just for ordinary people. If If I can use her help to get to know a few more young masters, that's a good thing for me, isn't it?"
“Miss, you and the lady from the Weiguo family are as close as sisters. With her here, you won’t be able to find a good in-law anywhere. Just ask her to recommend you.”
“Hmph, do you think she would be so kind?”
Xia Lian looked suspicious. Didn't he have a good relationship with Miss Wei in the past?
“Forget it, give me another cup of tea. This tea tastes very sweet.”
Wen Yuwei started to make calculations in her mind while drinking tea.
Xia Lu has been with her since she was a child. She also came to Dongdu a few years ago and has learned the rules seriously, but she is far behind compared to the girl from the Feng family.
She speaks and behaves in a moderate manner, generous and decent. After all, she is a girl from a noble family, and she is much better than those from her uncle's family.
Just now Xia Lu spoke rashly, her tone was not good, and she didn’t see the girl’s blushing face arguing. From this we can see how important the rules of a famous family are!
Such a family, or a family with a higher status than hers, is where she wants to marry!
Wei Lanxuan did not really regard her as a sister at all, Zuo was just a foil. In this case, she naturally had to take advantage of her.
When you marry into a high-ranking family, you can show your face happily in front of everyone and let them know how powerful you are!
After Xiangqiu made arrangements, she quickly returned to Ning'an Courtyard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Yun Xu arranging for someone to pick some red sandalwood plums. She said that the lady wanted to put them in white porcelain bottles, so that they could add a bit of life to the house.
“Where’s the lady?”
"I'm resting in the house. I went to my wife's yard early in the morning. I guess I'm tired. I didn't sleep well last night, so I guess I'm catching up on some sleep."
After hearing what Yun Xu said, Xiangqiu said, "As expected, the lady just doesn't want to see her."
“What don’t you want to see?”
Seeing Yunxu's confused look, Xiangqiu explained the cause and effect, and while talking, she was quite disdainful of Miss Wen's behavior.
"Okay, don't you know our lady's temperament? She is most docile and kind. Could it be that she has forgotten about Miss Wen? Otherwise, you should go in and report her. It would be bad if it delays the lady's business."
"Really?" Xiangqiu was doubtful, but thinking that Yunxu knew the lady best, she opened the curtain and went in.
The couch under the bright window of the main room is now covered with velvet cushions, and the ground dragon is burned underneath, so it is very warm to sit on it. Taking advantage of the sunlight outside, Feng Jinyao was currently flipping through a miscellaneous book called "Water Water Illustrations", which talked about many methods of solving flood problems in the previous dynasties.
This book was given to her by her eldest brother a long time ago, but she has never read it before.
In this new life, some things are already known in advance, so it is naturally better to arrange them in advance.
So as soon as I came back, I quickly asked Yun Xu to find the book, and I was reading it with gusto.
She heard Hydrangea coming in and asked in advance before she could reply.
“Have the arrangements been made?”
“I have made arrangements to return to Miss, but I don’t know when Miss will go to see you?”
Took the bamboo pieces and sandwiched them in the book, Feng Jinyao calmed her eyes before looking at the hydrangea, and said with a sneer.
"My mother's illness is recurring. How can I, as a daughter, walk away? Just make sure that she doesn't take the opportunity to wander around the house. I'll send her away after two or three hours."
Sure enough, Xiangqiu was right, the young lady had a problem with her.
But it would be better not to have any contact with such a person, so as not to get yourself into trouble with a piece of brown candy that you can’t get rid of, which would be bad.
"I know, I will make arrangements now."
After Hydrangea left, Feng Jinyao calmly recalled today's past life.
That day was the same. Miss Wen came to visit and returned the white jade Pisces pendant that she had lost for many days. It was not an important thing at first, but it changed the taste after she made such a fuss about sending it.
Not only did she make acquaintance with her "good sister", but she also introduced her cousin Wen Mengsheng to her at her grandmother's birthday party.
It’s a pity that one wrong step leads to another wrong step.
She originally thought that the Wen family were all good people as their name suggests, but she didn't expect that the Feng family's downfall started when she received this Miss Wen.
The jade pendant she sent had a great effect. The Wen family took the opportunity to confirm their statement that they were in love, and then pretended to be a noble family and came to ask for her hand in marriage.
His posture is so low that even his parents are happy that they have found a good in-law, but they don't want to be ambitious and it is all a calculation from the beginning.
Now she is the iron wall. Even if the Wen family has iron teeth, they will never harm the Feng family again from her.
Hmph, if you want to harm her Feng family, there is no way!
Just let her enjoy the cold wind for three or two hours, so that she can clear her mind and know what kind of people she shouldn't mess with.
At this moment, Wen Yuwei, who was sitting in the Moon Pavilion and getting colder and colder as she sat, gradually felt that something was wrong.
Ever since she entered Feng's house, except for the girl Xiangqiu and the two people who served tea, there was no one else.
Is it possible that she is hiding from him on purpose?
There is no reason. They have never been against each other. This noble girl from a noble family in the Eastern Capital does not value her reputation more than herself. If she is so indifferent to others, isn't she afraid that she will go out and make a few remarks and ruin her reputation?
