Zhang You was so engrossed in watching that person that she only came back to her senses after she saw him leave the palace.
"Don't look at it, are you trapped?"
Qiuyue nudged Zhang You lightly with her elbow and teased her.
Zhang You quickly returned to his normal self and started playing with Qiuyue.
"No way! It's called a love of beauty. Everyone has it. Who doesn't like beautiful things?"
"Oh my, you're already into beauty. I think someone is feeling amorous?"
"Stop, stop, stop talking. Let's skip this topic." Zhang You knew that he couldn't argue with Qiuyue's "wrong logic", so he quickly surrendered and begged for mercy.
Qiuyue thought she was thin-skinned and let her go.
"Okay, okay, some people are thin-skinned and can't be restrained."
After Butler Qiao counted the items, he ordered the servants to carry them to Qiao Si's yard for Qiao Si to deal with.
Zhang You and the others just happened to follow the team back.
Qiao Si had already returned from Qiao Nai's Lanting Courtyard. When Zhang You went in to report, Qiao Si was eating sweet-scented osmanthus wine dumplings made in the small kitchen.
Qiao Si looked at the things all over the yard with a gloomy expression on her face. She pondered for a moment, then coldly told the servant to give all the things to the prince, princess, Qiao Er and the others, without keeping anything for herself.
Zhang You was a little confused. "What do you mean, Princess? Why don't you want it?"
Dongmei shook her head. "Who knows? We still have a bunch of them unpacked in our small warehouse. I guess the princess really doesn't want them."
"But, the Second Miss and the others wouldn't want the princess's things, right? Who doesn't know that it was sent to the princess?"
"Or maybe just store them in the warehouse? Who knows, maybe one day the princess will get the urge to retrieve them?"
"That makes sense."
Just do it.
Zhang You and Dongmei kept it a secret from Qiao Si and did not give away the gifts that Wei Nian gave to Qiao Si. Instead, they kept them in the storeroom in the mansion at the instruction of Qiao Er.
On the way back, Zhang You couldn't help but ask Dongmei about the second young master Wei.
After all, Mei Jiu has always been with Qiao Si, and she knows more or less about the people and things in the capital.
"Do you know anything about the second son of the Wei family? I met him today and I'm a little curious."
"The second son of the Wei family?"
Dongmei pondered for a moment.
He had only heard of Wei Nian's fame, and in the capital, Qiao Si only had contact with Wei Nian.
I couldn't remember Wei Er for a moment.
"That's the handsome, elegant-looking boy."
Seeing that she had no impression, Zhang You quickly reminded her.
"Ruya? I think I remember now.
You are talking about Wei Qian, right? The second son of the Wei family, Wei Nian's half-brother.
"Yes, yes, that's him."
Zhang You nodded repeatedly.
"I don't think I noticed it before. The princess and the second young lady, as well as Master Wei and Master Xie, are all students of Mr. Wen. This Second Master Wei seems to be following Master Wei.
It's just that he is not as talented as Master Wei, and he doesn't interact with the princess on a daily basis, so he has always been easily overlooked.
After all, Young Master Wei is highly regarded by Mr. Wen, and it is said that he has a great chance of winning the top three places in the imperial examination and becoming the number one scholar!
But although he is smart, he really knows nothing about feelings.
The princess's attitude is so obvious, but he still doesn't understand."
Speaking of this, Dongmei shook her head helplessly, really looking down on Wei Nian's emotional intelligence.
"Young Master Wei always ranks first in the exams year after year, and Second Young Master Wei is always behind Young Master Wei, it seems, it seems he's always second?"
Dongmei was a little uncertain. She could only clearly recall the scene where Wei Nian always came first and was praised by Mr. Wen.
However, Wei Qian would always be by Wei Nian's side during every exam.
If he has always been second.
"Wait, it seems like Wei Qian has always been behind Young Master Wei! He's too low-key. If I don't think about it carefully, I wouldn't even notice it!
The two brothers actually one came first and the other second!
You know what, it really is worthy of being the Prime Minister's Mansion. The sons they have raised are so capable."
He is actually the eternal runner-up.
Zhang You felt a little amused and helpless.
No wonder that person has such a natural and elegant temperament. After all, the person who can be second is not an ordinary person.
Dongmei thought about it carefully and realized how smart Wei Qian was.
It’s just that Wei Nian always took first place, which was a huge gap between him and Wei Qian, so people around him could only remember Wei Nian, but rarely remembered Wei Qian.
"After all, most people only remember who's number one in the world, and rarely remember who's number two."
Zhang You sighed.
"Do you know anything else about him?"
"Others? Let me think...
He doesn't seem to attend banquets very often, and I've hardly ever seen him there. I heard that Prime Minister Wei doesn't like this bastard son, so he's forbidden to attend any banquets."
"Then how can he still study with Mr. Wen?"
"I'm not sure about that. The princess has little personal relationship with him, so I don't know much about him. Perhaps Prime Minister Wei values his son's future?
But he probably isn't having a good time in the mansion."
"How do you say that?"
"Every time I saw him, he wore the same light-colored robe. He didn't even have a sash to hold his hair together, but instead used a carved wooden hairpin to hold it in place. He wasn't like the young master of Wei, with his brocade hat and sable fur coat, who looked very wealthy."
Zhang You thought about the person he had just seen: Although the robe was not made of good material, it was not ordinary either. He didn’t seem as pitiful as Dongmei said?
She asked doubtfully.
"That... I don't know... Maybe he was out on business and bought some clothes specifically for this?"
Zhang You nodded in acceptance.
"Why are you so curious about him? Isn't it... like Qiuyue said?"
Dongmei drawled out her words, somewhat gossipy.
Zhang You quickly denied it: "Really not, really."
But Dongmei looked at her expression and felt deeply suspicious.
People like them have a generation gap with those rich kids. After all, their status is there, and it is a gap that cannot be crossed.
Even if he is an unfavored bastard, he is still the prime minister's son, and is not something that little maids like them can dream of.
Rather than watching Xia He rush forward and get hurt, it is better to stop her from the beginning.
"But people like him are not something we can imagine. After all, he has a father who is the Prime Minister. Don't be stupid."
Dongmei advised her earnestly, and Zhang You nodded helplessly, repeatedly assuring her that she would not do that.
No, how do you know I like that?
Is this the equivalent of...chasing stars?
So she was a little excited when she saw the real person up close.
As a result, they both misunderstood her.
No one understands? It's so hard to meet someone with such a good look and temperament!
Seeing this at once will definitely make you excited.
Just like she likes to collect all kinds of rouge, she will feel fond of anything that catches her eye.
But it's not really to the point of liking it.
Zhang You emphasized it again and again, and Dongmei finally believed it after seeing her serious look.
