Chapter 182 Reason
Author: Yao Jishan
Facts show that Wei Shu has chosen a clear path.
Since arriving in the Cheng Mansion, his life has been stable, he has no worries about food and clothing, the number of cold poison attacks has dropped sharply to once every ten days, and his martial arts has also returned to its former two-pronged power.
The reason why the advance was slow was because the "Blood Refining Magic Art" required a large amount of energy and blood to be consumed every day. Wei Shu did not dare to advance rashly, and would rather go slower but be more safe.
"Wei'er, come with me."
Jiang's voice suddenly sounded, and Wei Shu pulled out of her thoughts and softly agreed.
At this time, Cheng Yuejiao was happily picking out flowers, with a smile as sweet as a flower. Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear to disturb her daughter, so she took Wei Shu to the West Room to talk.
It turns out that Wei Shu's name was chosen casually by Wei Shu, which is a homophonic pronunciation of "Wei", but Jiang did not change it, so she continued to use it to this day.
This is not because Jiang is lazy, but after returning to Beijing, someone will definitely use some excuse to pick on her mother and daughter. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to give them a few excuses first, so as to prevent the other party from starting elsewhere.
Mrs. Jiang held Mei Xiang's hand, turned the two-fold fan, and wore a lotus green dress, which is slim and light, but it is the most fashionable light gauze material at the moment. It is said that for ten taels of silver a piece, "looking at it is like mist."
The end is elegant.
The west room is where Jiang usually lives and works, and the furnishings are very exquisite. There used to be many bottles, pots, jars and other elegant objects on the Duobao Pavilion in the corner. Now that he is going back to Beijing, these things are packed into boxes and cages.
The house seemed empty.
She sat down on the armchair and Mei Xiang brought a cup of fragrant soup. Jiang took a sip of the warm and sweet soup and said to Wei Shu, "Let's talk."
Wei Shu stepped forward and reported truthfully: "Just now, Mrs. Wang came over while the girl was dressing up, so the girl found some excuse and sent all the maids out."
Mrs. Jiang nodded.
Mrs. Wang is Chuntao's mother.
Because she was an old servant in the mansion, knew everything about her, and had always had a sense of dignity, Mrs. Jiang made her daughter and Chun Xing, the daughter of another servant, a first-class maid, and placed them beside Cheng Yuejiao to serve.
However, Mrs. Jiang does not intend to take these two girls with her when she returns to Beijing this time.
Both of them are over nineteen years old, and they look... quite pretty.
Perhaps because they were born in the world of servants, these two girls had very lively thoughts. They wanted to grasp the top and be strong, and promoted the high and suppressed the low. Mrs. Jiang looked at them coldly and felt that they were not very useful.
There are few people in the house now, and her mistress is right in front of them. These two girls dare to cross Cheng Yuejiao, which shows that they have long lost their master.
This is still in the Cheng family of Zhending Mansion. If they return to Beijing, the old Cheng family will live in the same courtyard. The Jiang family has to spend countless thoughts just dealing with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. If the people below are no longer uneasy
She was tired to death, and could easily cause trouble, so she simply cut off the problem at the root.
Mrs. Wang was really eager for her daughter to have a bright future. Seeing that there was no hope of returning to the capital, she was smart and did not dare to ask for help from Mrs. Jiang. Instead, she went to the young mistress.
A stupid girl was persuaded to come.
Thinking in her mind, Mrs. Jiang looked at Wei Shu again.
She doesn't know why, but every time she looks at this girl, Mrs. Jiang will have a strange feeling in her heart, as if the square land under this girl's feet is its own country and has nothing to do with others.
Theoretically, this girl shouldn't have been chosen. Firstly, she is a bit older, secondly, she has an ugly appearance, and there is a scar on her forehead. Thirdly, she is a bit too calm.
Jiang had seen many of the refugees who fled into Zhending Mansion from outside the customs every year, but she had never seen anyone with such magnanimity. But when asked about her origins, this girl was vague and only said that her family members were all dead.
She was absolutely alone, without any friends, and just wanted to find a place to stay.
The man Yazi also said that this girl came to the house by selling herself. He guessed that she was a girl from a wealthy family outside the customs. In order to get a mouthful of food, she had to sell herself as a slave and was too embarrassed to do anything in advance.
When Jiang heard these words, it was as if he had not said them at all.
In what year is there not a family that has died outside the customs? Even if they are dead, they can always tell their origins. You can't just die with your family members and their origins.
Jiang had seen the market in the early years, and Jiang's tea shop was well-known in the Song Dynasty, so he didn't believe this.
However, Wei'er really suited her liking.
Since two years ago, Mrs. Jiang has been planning to return to Beijing, and she is slowly making preparations. Everything else is easy to say, but her daughter Cheng Yuejiao is really giving her a headache.
With her daughter's silly temperament, she would definitely suffer hardship when she returned to the capital, but none of the maids serving her were of use, so Mrs. Jiang finally thought of buying someone.
Wei'er bought the house last year.
In the first half of the year, Ms. Jiang only ordered her to work as an errand in the outer courtyard. Seeing that she was a decent person, well behaved, strict in speech, and generous and decent in behavior, she took her to wait and placed her in front of Cheng Yuejiao.
Because Wei'er had scars on her face, Cheng Yuejiao disliked her lack of appearance, so she didn't touch her. Chuntao and the others took the opportunity to squeeze her out, overtly and covertly stumbling over her, and setting traps, but they never succeeded, and they were cruel to her.
I suffered several losses.
Mrs. Jiang became more and more satisfied with Wei'er.
To be too calm would be to the point of being pedantic, but this girl was obviously not pedantic at all, her methods and scheming were always the best, and she would not offend anyone even if she showed her face. So Jiang raised her up a level, and her words were clear.
I want to take her back to Beijing.
Because of this incident, Chuntao and others were filled with jealousy, but they seemed to be a little afraid of Wei'er and did not dare to scheme against her, so they would instigate Cheng Yuejiao to cause trouble every now and then.
Jiang Shiquan should go to the theater.
They were just a bunch of minions, how could they escape from her grasp?
"Why did you come so late? I wonder if your master has gone out first?" Mrs. Jiang asked softly.
Wei Shu said "tsk" in her heart and thought to herself that your daughter is really good at practicing the cloud-chasing kick. She ran away without seeing anyone. I didn't put my eyes on her. Who knows where she went?
"The girl ordered her maid to pack the makeup box. When the maid came back later, she found that the girl was missing, so she searched all the way from the back garden."
Although he was saying "it's not my fault", his words were not revealing. Jiang was deeply moved for a moment.
The people from the old Cheng family in Kaifeng Prefecture have this same way of talking, and they are quite similar.
Mrs. Jiang also knew her daughter's temperament, so she said deliberately: "Jiao'er is still young, and she does some things inappropriately. You should also give her some guidance. Don't just obey her blindly."
Wei Shu looked carefully at Mrs. Jiang's face, lowered her head and said, "Madam, I dare not overstep my bounds."
It's rare to find such a good family to recuperate. There are some things Wei Shu can only do in a long way, and it's hard to explain clearly.
If Mrs. Jiang continues to pamper her like this, Cheng Yuejiao will cry more often in the future. Kuang Weishu is just a slave, so in what name can she discipline her mistress?
