082 Self-Humiliation
Wei Yansi's doubts only lingered in his mind, and the group entered the main hall.
When Li saw the old lady, she quickly came down and helped her to the table. This time she didn't want to offend Wei Che, so she arranged Qingluan's seat directly under the old lady, while the man was at another table.
.
Li Shi put a lot of thought into this feast, and every dish was extremely luxurious.
The man's table was full of wine, so Li looked at her and said, "Old lady, why are you so happy today? Let's have some drinks too. I've had fruit wine prepared and it's not intoxicating."
"Okay, ask someone to bring it up." Mrs. Qin nodded.
After hearing this, the maid poured a cup of wine for everyone. The light fruity aroma suited the woman's taste. After a few glasses, the powder was stained red, as if it was stained with a layer of extremely bright rouge.
Li Shi said with a smile: "Qingyu, you guys go and toast your eldest brother and congratulate him on his triumphant return."
"Aunt, can I come with you? My brother just said something rash, and I, the younger sister, should apologize for him." Li Qin asked shyly, her cheeks slightly red, as if she was drunk.
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Ms. Li had already said, "We are all relatives of the same family. Don't say anything to apologize, just congratulate Che'er with Yu'er and the others."
Wei Qingyu held the wine glass and led her two sisters, while Li Qin followed at the back.
There were only five people at Wei Che's table, plus Wei Huaishan, but he was in Wei Che's arms. No matter whether Yan or the wet nurse came over, Wei Huaishan would not let them hold him. Wei Che had a good temper.
After hugging him, Wei Huaishan sat on Wei Che's lap very obediently and ate whatever he fed.
Wei Yan was so pregnant that she couldn't understand how Wei Che could be so nice to a fool, let alone a third-bedroom girl.
Wei Qingyu walked up to Wei Che, raised her wine glass and said, "Brother, Yu'er would like to toast you with this glass. I wish you a bright future and good progress."
They were all his cousins. Wei Che was unambiguous. He smiled and drank the wine in the glass. When Li Qin came in front of him, Wei Che frowned without any trace. Did he arrive?
I don't mind that Mr. Li arranged Li Qin and Li Xiao for the family banquet. After all, they are guests. It is not good for the host to have a banquet and leave the guests aside.
But the two Li brothers were too ignorant. One always spoke with an inexplicable arrogance, but the other came to him so frivolously with a drink. After all, they were not related in any way.
Li Qin lowered her head slightly and did not see Wei Che's expression. From the first time she saw Wei Che today, she decided that she would stay in Weiyuan Hou Mansion no matter what, even if it was as a concubine, she was willing.
"Brother Wei, I respect you." Li Qin didn't think anything of it. She lived in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, as the saying goes, close to the water, so she wanted to be able to leave an impression in his heart for the first time.
Wei Che didn't say much and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Li Qin was secretly happy and raised his head, his eyes full of admiration but unable to hide his shyness, "Brother Wei, my brother has a straightforward temper. Please forgive me if there is any offense in the future."
This time it was Li Xiao's turn to be unhappy. He didn't think he was inferior to Wei Che in any way, but Wei Che was lucky enough to be reincarnated in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. What good could such a second-generation ancestor do? Maybe his military exploits were also good.
Others gave him something based on his status rather than what he earned himself. However, his own sister said this about him, which made Li Xiao very angry.
He placed the wine glass heavily on the table and was about to say something when he heard a "sneeze".
Yan's heart was spinning. The one who sneezed was the kid Wei Huaishan. The powder on Li Qin's body was really smoky. The kid Wei Huaishan couldn't hold it back and sneezed loudly. It's nothing to sneeze. The key is
It was kid Wei Huaishan standing on the stool where Wei Che was sitting.
Wei Che originally hugged him, but later Wei Qingyu and others came to toast, so he asked Wei Huaishan to stand on the stool, while he stood behind Wei Huaishan. In this way, Li Qin was facing Wei Huaishan
The kid, stimulated by those fragrant powders, sneezed right in front of Li Qin's face.
Before Li Qin could react, he felt a burst of air blowing towards him. Along with the air stream, there were rice grains that Wei Huaishan had been chewing for a long time before he could swallow them.
Her pretty face was immediately covered with a lot of rice grains and sticky, wet saliva. Everyone at the table was stunned by this sudden scene. 13acv.
Li Qin was stunned for several seconds, then screamed and subconsciously reached out to push Wei Huaishan. Wei Che quickly hugged Wei Huaishan and said displeasedly: "Miss Li, Shan'er's age
You're still young and it wasn't intentional, so why would you bother a four-year-old child?"
Li Qin could guess how embarrassed she looked at this moment without looking in the mirror. The sticky saliva dripped down her cheeks. Oh, it's disgusting. She is still a little fool. She
She finally worked up the courage to show her face in front of Wei Che, but with such a result, she wanted to strangle that little fool to death.
Li Qin's face turned green and white, but he didn't dare to hit the little fool in front of so many people. He had to cover his face with a handkerchief and stamped his feet angrily, not caring about maintaining his image in front of Wei Che, and hurriedly
Rushed out of Lingxiao Pavilion.
The two tables were not far apart. Li Shi had been paying attention to Li Qin, but she didn't want this to happen. She secretly cursed an idiot, but pretended to be virtuous on her face: "Wei Zi, hurry up.
Go and see your cousin. At this age, girls are most concerned about their own image."
Wei Zi responded and went, and Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan again and said: "Three brothers and sisters, you shouldn't have brought Huaishan here. Fortunately, it's a family banquet. It would be too embarrassing if there were others here.
Last time, I pushed Qingluan into the pool, but fortunately someone passed by, otherwise if Qingluan had any problems, what would you give Che'er to accompany him?"
Mrs. Yan's face turned pale when she heard this. Mrs. Li's words were too heartbreaking. She disliked her son and sow discord between the two families.
How could Wei Qingluan not understand what Li was thinking, not only seeing his brother getting close to Huaishan, but also thinking about using the fact that he fell into the water to make his brother dislike Huaishan and alienate his third uncle and his family.
Sure enough, Wei Che turned his attention when he heard Li said that Wei Huaishan pushed Qingluan into the pond.
Wei Yansi's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to explain to Wei Che when he heard Qingluan say crisply: "Second Aunt, who said that Huai Shan pushed me when I fell into the water last time?"
Li was startled, and then said: "At that time, you and Huaishan were the only ones by the pond. After the ladies rescued you that day, didn't you say that someone pushed you from behind? If it weren't for Huaishan, there would be someone else.
Who is it? What’s more, he is a fool and naturally doesn’t know the importance.”
Ms. Yan bit her lip. Although she had almost accepted the fact that her son was a fool in her heart, it was too hurtful to be told in front of so many people.
"Second Aunt, please don't say this again. I choked on the water that day and was frightened. My mind was so confused that I couldn't even remember what I said. That's why I wronged Huaishan. In fact, I was the one who picked the pond for Huaishan.
The lotus leaves in the bed, the water that fell into the water when the feet slipped, they don’t care about good things at all." Qingluan said calmly.
She really couldn't remember exactly how she fell into the water that time. Huaishan was originally ignorant. Even if he pushed it, it must not have been his intention. What's more, when she was facing the pool, what was the black hand behind her?
It’s still unclear who stretched it out, so it’s better to just expose it and blame it on my own carelessness, so as to avoid Mr. Li often taking advantage of this matter to antagonize her third aunt.
Li Shi smiled stiffly and said, "Really?"
"Yes." Qingluan's face straightened, and then he said seriously, "I also ask Second Auntie not to say that Huaishan is a fool again. Huaishan is just slow-witted. I heard that the most famous Ge Lao Yuan in the previous dynasty
Qi Shan didn't speak until he was six years old. He still won three yuan in a row and finally joined the cabinet to worship the prime minister. What's more, you are a kind-hearted elder. How can any elder talk about his nephew like this?"
Li didn't expect that her instigation would be rewarded by Wei Qingluan's words, and she would even be taught a lesson. She suddenly felt she had lost face, and her face sank slightly.
Yan's eyes were red with gratitude. Not only did Qingluan not blame Huaishan, but he also helped him speak. His son was not a fool, but his son was just late in thinking. Qingluan's words were like a clear spring flowing into Yan.
In her dry heart, yes, she shouldn't have given up so early. If she gave up as a mother, who else could Huai Shan rely on?
Mrs. Yan turned around and looked at Wei Huaishan, only to see him smiling at her, feeling slightly excited.
Wei Yanhuai felt angry when he saw Li's constant tricks, but still had a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard Wei Qingluan's words, he moved his chopsticks and said: "Come, come, eat the food, eat the food.
"
Wei Che looked at Qingluan, then looked down at the well-behaved Wei Huaishan in his arms. It turned out that his sister had encountered such dangers in an invisible place. Could it be that this house was not as harmonious as he imagined?
The younger sister was vaguely targeting the second aunt. Could it be that the second aunt was not good to her younger sister? A seed of doubt was planted in Wei Che's heart.
***************
Qingluan was already tipsy when she returned to her yard. Ever since Li Qin was scolded by Huai Shan and she tried to talk back to Li, she was in a very good mood, and even more
I drank a few glasses of fruit wine.
Xia Zhi hurriedly helped her wash up, and gave her a sobering stone to hold in her mouth. She said angrily, "It's true, girl. No matter how good the fruit wine is, it's still wine. When you get drunk, you'll be the only one who feels uncomfortable."
Qingluan looked at the nagging maid and couldn't help but smile: "These are only a few cups, I can still drink a big pot."
"Listen, I'm drunk. You, please go to bed and rest." After saying that, Xia Zhi helped Qingluan to go to bed and rest.
I had no dreams all night, and when I opened my eyes the next day, it was already bright.
Qingluan didn't feel any discomfort, but felt his mouth was dry, so he called for the summer solstice.
Several maids came in with things to wash up. Qingluan drank two more cups of tea before sitting in front of the dressing table to comb her hair.
"Girl, Guyu sent someone to ask this morning, saying that her mother's illness has recovered. Can she go back to work in the yard?" Xia Zhi said softly while combing Qingluan's hair.
Qingluan raised his head slightly: "Let her come back, but you have to know how to arrange it. You can no longer trust people like this who have had alienated hearts."
"Yes, my slave." Xia Zhi had just put her hair into a bun when Qiao'er walked in with a smile, "Girl, the Marquis is here."
Qingluan was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Let brother come in quickly, Xia Zhi, you go make tea, brother likes to drink Maojian, don't make a mistake."
As Qingluan's personal maid, how could she not know Wei Che's preferences? Xia Zhi reluctantly retreated to make tea. Over there, Qiao'er had already led Wei Che in. Wei Che was wearing a blue dress today.
Wearing a double-breasted narrow-sleeved robe with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, his black hair is tied with a small sapphire crown, and he wears a pair of deerskin short boots. This outfit makes Wei Che look handsome and handsome, as if he were a young man from a wealthy family in Beijing.
He has a temperament that has been honed, so the whole person looks extremely outstanding, but there is no dandy air at all.
"Brother, have you had breakfast?" Qingluan quickly put Wei Che on Arhat's bed.
"I've already used it. I don't even know what time it is now. I can have lunch later." Wei Che said with a hint of ridicule.
When Qingluan saw that the hourglass had reached the end of the Chen hour, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said: "I overslept and missed paying my respects to my grandmother."
Wei Che patted Qingluan's head gently and said, "Grandma saw that you drank so much fruit wine last night and guessed that you couldn't get up this morning. She asked you to come over in the evening."
"That's good, brother, what are you going to do today?" Xia Zhi brought tea, and Qingluan served it to Wei Che himself.
Wei Che took a sip and then said, "I'm going to the streets today."
Qingluan's eyes suddenly lit up. She had long been looking forward to letting her brother take her out to play on the street when he came back. She was also afraid that Wei Che was going to meet his friends, so it would be inappropriate for her to follow him. His small face was so cute.
Tangled.
Wei Che teased Qingluan for a while and was in a good mood, "Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll only wait for you to burn a stick of incense."
Qingluan cheered, jumped off the bed, and pulled Xia Zhi into the dressing room. There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound, and Xia Zhi advised: "Girl, don't worry, the Marquis will definitely wait."
your."
Wei Che smiled and couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "Who said that? I will only wait for a stick of incense. I will not wait until it expires."
This caused Qingluan to be in chaos again, and he only cursed: "Smelly brother, bad brother."
Wei Che had ten days of vacation, and he planned to spend time with Qingluan during this period. He knew that Qingluan had been bored in the house for a long time, and he must have wanted to go out to play, so he reported it early in the morning.
Old lady, I plan to take Qingluan to the street to play.
In the remaining time, he planned to take Qingluan to a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing to stay for a while. The weather was getting colder. Taking more hot spring baths was good for the body, and he also planned to let Qingluan learn how to swim in the water to avoid falling into the water.
