Chapter 114
Wen Suying went to look for the jade pendant, and Wen Suning walked back, walking very slowly. He wanted to wait for her, but when he didn't see anyone catching up with her, he ignored her.
When I returned to my seat, Mrs. Wei had already left.
The seat next to Wen Shuse was taken by another lady from an aristocratic family, the wife of Yu, the Zuo Lang of the Imperial Library.
Wen Shuse heard the news from Wen Huai and asked Madam Yu, "How is the fourth lady now?"
"Thank you, Madam, for your concern. Everything is fine."
The wedding was originally scheduled for last month, but due to the national mourning, it was postponed to the beginning of spring next year. The man from her husband's family was a childhood sweetheart who grew up with the fourth lady. He was ordered to leave in the past few years and was transferred back before the New Year. He has not married yet. When he heard that the fourth lady was divorced, he immediately came to the Yu family to ask for marriage. He did not care that the fourth lady had been married and had children. He visited the Yu family several times and was attentive and considerate in his words and deeds. He was a person who treated her sincerely.
Thinking back to when my brother first took office, the first case in his life was the Fourth Lady of the Yu Family. He almost cried when he saw the result. I couldn't help but smile, "If the Fourth Lady can be happy, my brother should be relieved."
Talking about this, Madam Yu sighed, "She suffered a lot because she didn't know people well. After returning from Fengcheng, she told me and her father that she was alone in a foreign land with no one to rely on. Only the third son of the Wen family stood by her. She has always remembered this kindness..."
Wen Suning walked in.
Madam Yu was interrupted. She turned around and saw Wen Su Ning. She looked gentle and greeted with a smile, "Is this the eldest lady of the Wen family?"
I heard from the Fourth Lady that the Wen family had a good reputation when they were in Fengcheng, and the Yu family was among the families who came to the Wen family to propose marriage a few days ago.
Mrs. Yu originally thought that she had a connection with the Wen family and wanted to strengthen the relationship between them, but from the meaning of the matchmaker's words, it seemed that the eldest wife of the Wen family did not agree.
Although Mr. Yu's case of corruption has been settled and he has proved his innocence, even if he is reinstated, he is only a Zuo Lang of the Ministry of Literature, while Mr. Wen is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
It is understandable that he looks down on the Yu family.
Although the marriage could not be arranged, the friendship still existed. After Mrs. Yu's polite greetings were made, Wen Suning also politely returned the greeting.
Naturally, he also recognized Mrs. Yu.
But whether in terms of family background or the abilities of the young masters, the Yu family is not as good as the Wei family.
The marriage that had passed by her and almost came true suddenly flew away, and it became a regret, which made her more obsessed. If she looked down again, how could she be interested in it?
Wen Suning and Wen Suying went out together. At this time, only Wen Suning came back. The Third Lady was not there. Aunt Xue asked in confusion, "Where is the Third Lady?"
Wen Suning was also wondering why she hadn't come back for so long after picking up a jade pendant. When she turned her head to look back, she saw Madam Wen San lifting the curtain and walking in.
Not only Sanniang came back, but also Wen Huai.
Both of them looked unhappy, especially Wen Huai, whose face was originally a little dark, and his expression darkened. The white skin he had gained in recent days seemed to have been wasted.
But after he became stronger, he looked a lot tougher, and this black face became more and more pleasing to the eye.
Wen Shuse saw his expression and was confused.
Wen Huai knew it clearly in his mind.
Wei Yun just wanted to take a shortcut to the maple forest in the backyard, but accidentally arrived at the rockery. He, Wen Huai, was the one who was actually being waited for by the Yang family to enter the rockery.
At first, I heard from the servant that the eldest master had obtained a painting, but I didn't know whether it was real or not, so I brought it here today and asked him to go to the pavilion behind the rockery to appreciate it.
The eldest son had mentioned this to him in the Mixian Tower, and he did not doubt it.
If it weren’t for my third sister, I would have been in trouble today.
He could understand that the Yang family wanted to use him to tie themselves up with the Xie family, but such means were despicable.
After all, he was a former official. Although his time was short, he still had integrity. He disdained to deal with such a family any longer. He originally planned to send his third sister back to her seat, say hello to Wen Shuse and leave, but when he saw a stranger was there, he suppressed his anger and bowed and nodded to him.
"Is it the third young master?" Madam Yu heard from the fourth lady that the third young master of the Wen family was a good-looking man, except for one thing: he was a little dark.
The person in front of her was just as she said.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Madam Yu said to herself, "I am the author of Zuolang Yu's family. When I was in Fengcheng, the young master showed me kindness. I haven't had time to thank the third young master for that."
Wen Huai was stunned. He didn't expect it was Madam Yu. He hurriedly said, "I am ashamed. It is just my job. It is not worth mentioning. I didn't help much... Madam Yu, please let me say a blessing to the Fourth Lady."
Madam Yu nodded. She also noticed that the faces of several people were not right. She was afraid that something had happened. She did not stay for long and said with a smile: "My Yu family will prepare some wine another day. Please give me a favor, Master Wen."
"Mrs. Yu, you are too polite." Wen Huai bowed again.
After the people left, the gloom on Wen Huai's face just now also disappeared a lot. Without waiting for others to ask, he said to Wen Shuse and the eldest son of the Wen family, "Brothers and sisters, have fun. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
You just arrived and you’re leaving already?
Before Wen Shuse could react, Wen Huai turned around and walked out, and the only person who knew about the situation was Sanniang.
After Madam Yu returned, she took one look at the young master of the Yu family and said with regret, "I saw the lady. She is good-looking, but her eyes are dull and too aloof. She is not a member of my Yu family."
The young master of the Yu family smiled and said, "Marriage is about fate, mother, don't worry."
Madam Yu recalled the look on the face of the Third Young Master of the Wen Family just now, and she was sure that something had happened. Everyone knew the purpose of such a scene, so she turned to ask the Young Master of the Yu Family, "Where is the Sixth Girl?"
"I went to the backyard and should be back soon."
After Wen Huai left his seat, he hurried out the door. There were a lot of things to do in the restaurant, and he had wasted half a day's work...
He walked faster and faster, and as he came down from the arch bridge and turned a corner, he bumped into a girl head-on.
The girl was stunned, "Little brother."
Wen Huai also recognized her and stopped to say, "Sixth Lady."
That day, the Sixth Lady of the Yu Family lost her purse and had no money to pay the bill, so she asked Wen Huai to "advance payment". He was true to his word and came in person to pay the money back at dusk that day.
But I still don’t know his identity. When I met him, I was shocked and confused. “You, why are you here?”
Wen Huai's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "My master was invited today, so I followed too." He glanced at the red leaves she picked up, four or five of them, the size of a palm, with his thumb gently pressed into his palm. He didn't know whether it was the red maple leaves that made the hand look as white as jade, or the slender jade hand that made the maple leaves come alive.
With a thought, he asked softly, "Sixth Lady likes maple leaves?"
The Sixth Lady looked at a few maple leaves she had picked up casually, then raised her head to look at the blue sky above her head. The sun was dazzling, so she subconsciously raised her hand to block it. The maple leaves in her hand fell on her eyebrows, and a layer of red halo was reflected on her fair face, as gorgeous as a painting.
Wen Huai forgot to move his eyes.
Lady Six smiled at him with her lips curved, "White clouds and red leaves, who wouldn't like that?"
Wen Huai smiled and made way for her.
He waited for Lady Six to pass by him, and then he took a few steps. Lady Six suddenly turned around and called him, "Young man."
Wen Huai turned around.
Most of the Sixth Lady's body was hidden behind the stone pillar. She only poked her head out and asked, "Do you still have fried clams in your restaurant?"
Wen Huai smiled: "Yes."
"I want to go to Mixianlou in a few days. Can you save a seat for me?"
"good."
Sixth Lady seemed to have something to say. She lowered her eyes, her face looked a little embarrassed and slightly flushed. Wen Huai was not in a hurry and stood there waiting for her to speak.
After hesitating for a while, Lady Six asked in a low voice, "Will there be a discount the day after tomorrow?"
The day after tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and she loves to eat some clams, but I am short of money and my father's salary is limited...but clams have always been in short supply, so how could they be discounted? Realizing that I had said something wrong, I hurriedly said, "It's okay if there is no discount, but please save some for me, brother."
"have."
Lady Liu was stunned, not knowing what he was answering.
Wen Huai smiled, "There is a discount."
As soon as Wen Huai left, Wen Shuse couldn't stay any longer after listening to Sanniang's account of the whole story, so he left before the polo game started.
Aunt Xue saw that the situation was not right, so she could no longer sit still. Even Wen Huai, Xie's eldest brother-in-law, could be plotted against and almost fell into the trap, not to mention the two girls of the Wen family.
With a pale face, he sighed, "Sure enough, there are a lot of bad guys outside. Let's go back."
Wen Suying stood up immediately.
Wen Su Ning didn't move.
Having been suppressed by the Madam for these years, not only Wen Suying was afraid of them, Aunt Xue was also a little afraid of the Madam, "Madam, do you still want to stay? If you do, then, then let's sit for a while."
Before she could finish her words, Wen Suning stood up and said, "Let's go."
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Young Master Wen had already gone to the arena. Aunt Xue told the servant, "Tell Young Master that I'm not feeling well and I'm taking the two girls back first. Let him play slowly."
After giving the instructions, the two girls left their seats.
Wen Suning glanced at Wen Suying beside her. She didn't expect that she would lie to her, and she didn't expect that the person the Yang family wanted to harm was actually her third brother.
If she hadn't felt compassion, Third Brother would have been in trouble today. Seeing Wen Suying lowering her head and not daring to look at her, she said, "You saved Third Brother and became a hero. Why should you be ashamed to hold your head up high?"
"Big sister..."
"If anything happens in the future, just tell me the truth and don't lie to me anymore." With Wen Shuse in front of her, she could not tolerate being deceived by others.
"Got it." Wen Suying stuck out her tongue behind her back and thought to herself, if she told the truth, would she let her go back?
This trip was in vain.
The Wen family left as soon as they arrived, and the news soon reached other ears. Others didn't know what happened, but Mrs. Wei knew it clearly.
After hearing what Wei Yun said, Madam Wei's face darkened. She was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand onto the table and scolded: "This family is getting more and more evil when doing things. They actually have such dirty thoughts. Have they forgotten what happened to the Yuan family..."
He suppressed his anger and said to Wei Yun, "Call your uncle over. I want to ask him if he knows about this, and if your grandfather knows about it."
There was no need for Wei Yun to call him, the eldest master came on his own.
As soon as he arrived at his seat, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he asked Wei Yun, "Where are Wen Huai and the others?"
Wei Yun ignored him.
The eldest son pounded his hands anxiously, "I didn't know about this. You said, if that girl really likes him, we can find a matchmaker to go to his house. If you make a fuss like this, where will I, my Yang family, put my face?"
Madam Wei sneered, "Humph, now you want to blame all the mistakes on a little girl? Can she bear it? She is also your aunt's child, your cousin!"
The eldest son nodded repeatedly, "Aunt is right, I was confused. How could my cousin do such a dirty thing? It must be the servants around her who came up with this bad idea in order to climb up the social ladder..."
Mrs. Wei closed her eyes, feeling extremely disappointed.
Not wanting to stay any longer, he stood up and said to the eldest son, "No matter whose idea it was, go and tell your mother not to narrow the Yang family's path."
Sitting in the carriage, Madam Wei was still angry and said to Wei Yun, "Your uncle is ambitious. The achievements and reputation your grandfather earned on the battlefield will be destroyed by him sooner or later."
It was fine before, but after the late emperor passed away and the Yang family failed to get the position of empress dowager, everyone went crazy.
Although Wei Yun felt disgusted in his heart, he did not say anything.
"It's a good thing that the Third Lady of the Wen family stopped it in time, otherwise, I would not be able to see the Third Lady again in the future." Mrs. Wei glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Did you see the First Lady?"
