Chapter 68. Belt (Update 1) Belt (Update 1)…



"Give out New Year gifts according to the lot, and be sure not to make the wrong choice."

When Wei Xuanning came back, he saw Yurong talking to the steward.

He was surprised: "Do we still need to send New Year gifts back this year?" It's only been a few days since we arrived.

Yurong said excitedly, "Of course. We are getting married this year. We are no longer children, but adults. Of course, we should do everything the same as adults. Look, there are a lot of leathers in Qingzhou. I picked some and asked them to make cloaks and hand guards. I also asked people to make cowhide boots for my father-in-law and my father. Anyway, everyone I know will get a share. This way, our trip will not be in vain!"

"Okay, you're an adult now."

He looked at Yurong with amusement, waved away the crowd, and then held her on his lap, jokingly saying, "Thank you for always telling relatives that you'll make shoes for me, but where are my shoes?"

This little liar had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but now, nothing has been shown.

Yurong snorted coldly: "Where can I get so much strength to make shoes now? It takes a lot of strength to sew the soles. Do you think you did it on purpose? I'm about to give birth, and you still let me do heavy work."

Having said that, she was about to stand up, pouting and looking unhappy.

Wei Xuanning immediately smiled and said, "I didn't mean that at all. I was just joking with you."

"If you are joking, why don't you make me some underwear? I can't wear any underwear now. The ones they make are not big enough for me." Yurong quietly pulled his hand to her chest.

Wei Xuanning coughed but said nothing.

He was outmaneuvered and had no choice but to surrender.

Yurong finally calmed down and said, "You little brat, you still want to fight with me? Really."

Wei Xuanning wanted to say something else, but he heard the steward outside say, "Mrs. Leng suddenly fainted, and Miss Leng came to ask if there is a doctor in our house. She wants to ask the doctor to come over and take a look."

"Saving lives is urgent. Let's ask the doctor to come over." Yurong said immediately.

Madam Leng usually looked pale and bloodless, and she was sedentary and cautious. Most people's illnesses were related to their moods. Moreover, Madam Judu had been deliberately ignoring her these days, as if she was doing it for Yurong to see. She was timid to begin with, and now she was afraid that the more she thought about it at home, the worse her health would be.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Although Yurong treats Madam Leng normally, she cannot really watch anyone die. Besides, there is no life-and-death situation between the two of them now.

The Wei family invited a doctor to accompany them. The doctor was naturally a skilled doctor. He examined the patient for a long time before coming back to say that there was nothing wrong, just a minor illness. Yurong did not comment.

The next day, Madam Leng and her daughter Leng Lingyue came to express their gratitude. Yurong didn't say much when she saw them.

Leng Lingyue was obviously stronger than her mother and knew how to express her gratitude. "If it was Madam Wei yesterday, I would have been at a loss and would not know what to do."

"You're welcome. We're all neighbors. Your father and my husband are also peers. This is what should happen."

Leng Lingyue saw Yurong touching her belly from time to time, and knew that it was hard to bother her in such a cold weather, so she said goodbye to Madam Leng. It was not until she returned home that Madam Leng said to Leng Lingyue, "Why didn't you ask Madam Wei for help just now? Maybe this matter would have been over."

Speaking of which, Leng Lingyue also had a miserable life. She was not young anymore. Originally, Madam Leng was full of confidence that her daughter could marry into the Shen family. However, Madam Quandu never mentioned it again. She had to go to Madam Quandu again, but Madam Quandu asked Madam Lu, the prefect, to handle it.

Mrs. Lu was not an honest person. She used Leng Lingyue as a pretext and found a military general. Moreover, after the military general met her daughter, he still did not like Leng Lingyue because he despised her humble family background.

Mrs. Lu certainly had no intention of finding a suitable husband for Leng Lingyue, but Mrs. Quandu had made arrangements and mentioned a marriage proposal. However, the Leng family was very dissatisfied. That family wanted Lingyue to marry into the family, but because of their relationship with Mrs. Quandu, the Leng family could not refuse, so the stalemate continued.

"Mom, what are you talking about? You don't think that because we hired a doctor, the relationship between the Wei family and us is good, right? Then Mrs. Wei will never stand up for us." Leng Lingyue saw it very clearly.

Mrs. Leng was also a little frustrated.

These were not things Yurong had to worry about. The further she progressed in her pregnancy, the more uncomfortable she felt. She would often have sudden leg cramps at night, and even stomach discomfort. The physical torture made Yurong a little irritable, and she had no time to care about other people's affairs.

Wei Xuanning checked the New Year gift and found a pale brown belt. He originally thought it was made for himself, but when he saw in the New Year gift it was for his father, Wei Xuanning was a little annoyed and even angry.

Are these favors more important than him?

He really couldn't understand it and even felt a little jealous. He made this belt by watching Yurong make it herself and thought it was a gift for him. He had even been secretly looking forward to it for a long time, watching her embroidering it from time to time.

Because of this, he asked someone to go to Jiangnan to order a set of matching clothes. The clothes are almost arriving, but the belt has to be given to his father. How embarrassed is he?

But Yurong wrote it very clearly on the signature, so he couldn't stay even if he wanted to.

This New Year's gift was quickly delivered to Kyoto. The Wei family was the first to receive it, and Old Madam Wei received the most. Most of the gifts were made of high-quality leather and some special products from Qingzhou. There was also a headband made by Yurong, inlaid with a piece of gem. The letter said that the gem was found by Wei Xuanning herself. Old Madam Wei was so happy that she put it on her forehead immediately.

When Mrs. Chen saw it, she praised: "After all, the new daughter-in-law has good craftsmanship. This headband is so bright, the stitches are so fine, and it is inlaid with a white fox border. You are so lucky, old lady."

"This jade was chosen by Xuan Ning. The bride said he spent several days picking it. Now I can enjoy the blessing of having a grandson." Old Madam Wei smiled happily.

Zhou Ziying, who had just finished her confinement and was still plump, curled her lips secretly. This couple had already traveled thousands of miles away, yet they were still trying to please the old lady here. She simply didn't believe that Wei Xuanning cared so much about the old lady. Apart from his own extravagant clothes, he didn't care much about others.

Perhaps it was because he was no longer surrounded by Wei Xuanning, Zhou Ziying became more and more displeased with Wei Xuanning.

Of course, what made her even more unhappy was that Wei Xiang had a new belt, which was said to be a gift from the bride to her father-in-law. Zhou Ziying also had one, but she didn't like the color at all, so she disdained to wear it.

How could she be so young wearing such a pale belt? It was obviously just something Yang Yurong used to please Wei Xiang, and it might have been made by a maid.

Zhou Ziying didn't want Wei Xiang to wear it, so she said, "It's better to take off the belt first and wear it after the New Year." Anyway, it would be hard to find it if it was put in the warehouse, and Wei Xiang would not refuse her such a small favor.

But unexpectedly, Wei Xiang said: "No need, just match this one, this one is very good. When I was young, I loved Saker Falcon the most, especially the white-billed ones. I never thought that the bride would be so skillful."

Zhou Ziying was so angry that his teeth itched. Yang Yurong really had good intentions.
