Chapter 223
When Mao Yanqiu and his family came, they naturally had a clever servant to go to the inner courtyard to report the news early.
After Wei and Nannan's emotions gradually stabilized, Lin Wenbo stepped forward to invite Mao Yanqiu and his family to the mansion.
Mao Yanqiu and his wife came to Zhennan Hou Mansion on this trip. First, they welcomed Nannan Hou home, and second, they also thanked the old Zhennan Hou and his wife for helping to rescue Nannan and prevent Nannan from being beaten by human traffickers' family.
Mao Yanqiu and his wife were invited into the flower hall of Zhenghetang. Lin Xiuwu and Cai, who received the news, had already been waiting here.
After entering the flower hall, the Mao couple took a son and a daughter to respectfully kowtow to the old Zhennan couple without saying a word, thanking them for their gratitude for Nannan for their request for help.
Lin Xiuwu and Cai were not polite and received the gift happily, which made people help the two and the children to get up and sit down.
As early as when he learned that Lin Wan had arrived in Beijing, Wei was interested in coming to Zhennan Hou Mansion to see Lin Wan. However, before Mao Yanqiu hurriedly left Beijing for office work, he sent a message to his family and told Wei that he would wait until he returned to Beijing before going to Zhennan Hou Mansion together. Then he kept holding back and not going to Zhennan Hou Mansion. He didn't know how many times he complained about Mao Yanqiu.
Mao Yanqiu was the capital that he returned to yesterday evening.
This time, Mao Yanqiu led a team of Jinyiwei to go through difficult squatting in Zhengzhou City, investigate and pull out silk and calluses, and finally destroyed a human trafficking group specializing in trafficking in children, and successfully rescued more than abducted children, including the young prince of a county prince's mansion.
Because of the loss of Nannan, Wei's spirit had problems, so Mao Yanqiu was worried, so he kept finding Nannan without hiding the news about Wei's family and asked Nannan to follow Lin Wan for the time being.
It was not until yesterday that I returned home after I handed over an errand from the palace that I revealed the news about Nannan to Wei little by little.
Although Mao Yanqiu repeatedly promised that the rescued by Lao Zhennanhou and his wife was indeed their daughter, before meeting Nannan, Wei was still worried about whether he would be happy again.
This night was particularly difficult for Wei, and he had almost never closed his eyes all night, worried about this and that.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Mao Yanqiu rushed to Zhennan Hou Mansion.
Although the Mao family also lives in Dongcheng, it is a bit far from Zhennan Hou Mansion. It took almost half an hour to travel from Mao family to Zhennan Hou Mansion even if the road is smooth. So, I missed the auspicious time for Luo's departure.
Zhenghetang is mostly female relatives, so Mao Yanqiu didn't sit in the flower hall for long, so he followed Lin Xiuwu and Lin Wenbo to the large study in the front yard to talk. He did have something to tell Lin Xiuwu and Lin Wenbo.
The Wei family and his son were naturally left in Zhenghetang to talk to Cai.
At this time, Wei finally had time to see Lin Wan, who hadn't seen for half a year, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
Previously, some news about Lin Wan reached Wei's ears, but Wei always felt that the news was wrong, but when he saw it today, he found that all the news seemed to be true!
Lin Wan is indeed injured. Luo, who has been back with Lin Wenbo from Jizhou for only half a year, happened to set off for Jizhou today. Even if Wei is slow, he can guess one or two. When he looks at Lin Wan, he feels more pity and annoyance.
If I had known that Luo would not like Lin Wan so much, it would have been better to let Lin Wan stay in the Ye family. Although the Ye family's life was not as rich as Zhennan Sifu, the Ye family really loved Lin Wan.
Because she talked a little more at Cai’s birthday party, Lin Wan became a child who was not favored by her biological mother in the inner courtyard of the marquis. Wei felt worried for Lin Wan no matter how she thought about it.
Wei wanted to say a few words for Lin Wan, but Wei knew in his heart that even though she and Mao Yanqiu were Lin Wan's adoptive mother and adoptive father, after Lin Wan returned to Zhennan Hou Mansion, he had basically lost the right to directly interfere in Lin Wan's life.
Even if Mao Yanqiu is a popular figure in front of the current saint, he is far from able to compete with Zhennan Hou Mansion.
But if Wei wants to say nothing and do nothing, Wei feels too sorry for Lin Wan.
Wei thought about it over and over again and decided to avoid the person Luo, and even avoid the injuries on Lin Wan, and only talked about the rare fate with Lin Wan, hoping to use this to win some benefits for Lin Wan as much as possible, so that at least the people in Zhennan Hou Mansion knew that even if Lin Wan was not favored by her own mother, she would still be loved by her adopted mother.
"I had wanted to come to see Wanwan for a long time, but my husband sent a message home when he was out of Beijing, and told me to wait for him to come to see Wanwan together. I thought my husband just didn't want me to come early to disturb the reunion of your mansion, but I didn't expect that there was such a big surprise.
Thanks to the old Marquis and Mrs. Marquis who rescued Nannan, otherwise my Nannan would not know how much sin I would suffer!" Wei's entry point started from Nannan. When he said this, he remembered the various hardships he suffered for Nannan over the years, and his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wei knew that he was incompetent, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and then apologized to Cai: "Every time I think of Nannan, I will inevitably lose my composure, which makes the old lady laugh."
Cai empathized with the pain of the disappearance of his relatives, how could he laugh at Wei's loss of composure? He reached out to take Wei's hand and patted him: "It's like saying that old body has a similar experience. Although Wanwan is just the granddaughter of old body, she is a child raised by the old body. When I learned that Wanwan was missing, I just wanted to go and search for it myself."
The two gradually spread the conversation, and Wei gradually led the topic to the experience of his relatives going to Qingzhou Prefecture to recognize relatives. Then he looked at Lin Wan and said, "Wanwan really has a fate with my family. I brought Nannan back in just half a year!"
How could a person as smart as Cai, not be able to hear the voice of Wei?
In Cai's heart, as long as she was kind to Lin Wan, she was willing to give it to Lin Wan, so she took Wei's words with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, it was not until she got on the carriage back to Beijing that day that Wanwan told Laozi that Nannan was the pearl in the palm of Mr. Mao. When she heard this, she felt that this was fate. Although they were not compatriots, they were better than compatriots. In the future, let Wanwan and Nannan be sisters and walk more and get closer."
The two of them are interested, and they soon decided to hold a banquet for Lin Wan after the Dragon Boat Festival. It was not only that Lin Wan officially appeared in the Guizhou Circle after her return, but also that it was a ceremony that Mao Yanqiu and Wei did not hold when they recognized Lin Wan as their goddaughter.
"It's scheduled to be on the tenth day of the lunar month. The school was about to rest in Yandu and went to the village in the eastern suburbs to hold a lotus-welcome banquet. There is a lotus pond of more than ten acres in the village in the eastern suburbs. It is the season when lotus blooms, and it is appropriate!" Cai simply set the time and place.
The village in the eastern suburbs is the dowry of Cai. The lotus flowers bloom very well every year. In the past, the Cai family held a lotus banquet there every year, but since Lin Wan disappeared three years ago, it has never been open to the public, and even the Cai family has never been to Zhuangzi again.
