Before Ye Weiwei could speak, Huo Xiao interjected, "You don't understand, this is called husband and wife being of one mind."
Old Master Qin felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart again; this brat was always looking for an opportunity to stab him.
He shouldn't have asked those two guys!
Seeing the two staring at each other, Ye Weiwei helplessly reminded them, "Those two Qin brothers didn't get away with this today, so they definitely won't let it go. They're probably up to something. I think we can't keep being so passive. As the saying goes, it's only polite to reciprocate. They've made a scene three times already, so you should do something."
Grandpa Qin looked at Ye Weiwei: "What do you think I should do?"
Ye Weiwei said, "Of course, it's best to strike first. Find someone of higher seniority and with more influence to complain to, so they won't make false accusations first."
Grandpa Qin smiled with satisfaction. "You little rascal, you're really clever."
She actually anticipated the next move of the Qin family. With a brain like that, what can those people in the Qin family mansion do against her?
Even if Ye Weiwei hadn't reminded him, Grandpa Qin was still planning to visit his great-uncle and have a good chat over tea.
But this means that Weiwei will have to give away some of the tea she gave him, which is painful to think about.
The next day, Old Master Qin went to his great-uncle Qin Zhang's house, had lunch there, and then returned.
When Ye Weiwei saw that his eyes were red when he came back, it was obvious that he had been crying. She couldn't help but think to herself, "This old man is quite the actor."
On New Year's Eve, as usual, Grandpa Qin got up early and exercised with Huo Xiao in the courtyard to stretch their muscles.
However, when he returned, his expression was somewhat unnatural, and he seemed a little guilty.
Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao in surprise, her eyes asking him what was wrong.
Huo Xiao said irritably, "You've been bragging outside, and now everyone in the compound knows you write good Spring Festival couplets. I'm sure a lot of people will come to ask you for couplets today."
Ye Weiwei: ……
This is truly a case of being caught in the crossfire.
She looked at Old Master Qin with a hint of helplessness.
Grandpa Qin chuckled awkwardly and said, "I just remembered that you wrote Spring Festival couplets for the villagers in Daqingshan Village last year, so I just said a few words casually, and they all started clamoring to come to our house to ask for Spring Festival couplets."
Actually, he only heard about this from Du Zhenguo and Zheng Weiguo later.
He was sick that day, with a high fever. Zheng Weiguo and the others were very worried. Finally, fearing that he wouldn't make it, they mustered up their courage and tried to find Ye Weiwei to treat him. However, Ye Weiwei was helping the villagers write Spring Festival couplets, and the line was very long. Zheng Weiguo didn't find a chance to knock on the door until evening.
Afterwards, he heard the people in the shed talking about it. At the time, he thought to himself, how could there be such an outstanding young girl? Now it's great that this outstanding young girl has come to live in their family and become his daughter-in-law!
So when he heard someone say during his morning exercise that their family hadn't written Spring Festival couplets yet, he immediately remembered this and couldn't help but want to show off.
It's time to let the people in the compound see what her daughter-in-law is capable of.
Since arriving in Kyoto and moving into the compound, Ye Weiwei has kept a low profile. If it weren't for the incident with Zhou Qingwan, many people wouldn't even know who she was.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and everyone is on holiday. It's the perfect time to visit relatives and friends, so it's time to let the children out and meet people.
Those people in the province are curious about everything all day long.
Ye Weiwei thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this little thing.
"It just so happens that we haven't written our Spring Festival couplets yet. I've already thought of a lot of auspicious couplets for this year, and I'm just waiting to show them off."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin immediately exclaimed happily, "Good! Then it's up to you. Show them what you're capable of!"
Ye Weiwei readily agreed: "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
One sentence made Old Master Qin burst into laughter.
After breakfast, Ye Weiwei had her guards carry a long table to the yard, prepared writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and paperweights, and then cut the red paper she had bought a while ago to the size of the doors in her house before she began to write.
I first wrote a few "福" (good fortune) characters as a reward.
She wrote these "Fu" characters in a variety of styles, including regular script, clerical script, cursive script, and seal script. One of them was a half-written and half-drawn design on the red paper, and the outline of the character looked like a chubby little rabbit, which was very interesting.
When Grandpa Qin saw Ye Weiwei's "Fu" character, he picked it up and couldn't help but praise her as he looked at it, "Just how many clever ideas do you have in your head, that you can come up with so many variations on writing a 'Fu' character?"
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "I just thought it was fun. Isn't this the Year of the Rabbit? I guess this is in line with the times."
Grandpa Qin praised, "Not bad, not bad."
After writing a few "Fu" characters, Ye Weiwei began writing Spring Festival couplets for the front door.
May our great cause prosper for a thousand years, and may our grand plans bring us even greater glory.
Horizontal scroll: Great Ambitions
After she finished writing the last stroke, someone clapped and cheered, "Great! That's wonderful!"
Ye Weiwei looked up and saw that several people had entered the courtyard; they were all residents of the compound.
The person who just cheered was in his fifties or sixties, with a square face, resolute eyebrows and eyes, wearing a military uniform, and exuding an imposing aura.
Old Master Qin glared at the man unhappily, "Hey, you surnamed Leng, keep your voice down, don't yell like you're setting off a cannon."
When Qin Laoye said that, Leng Huasheng smiled embarrassedly, "I'm used to being with those greenhorns in the army all day. I was too excited just now and couldn't help myself."
Duan Yannian, who was standing next to him, chimed in, "It's really not Old Leng's fault. Your wife's handwriting is truly impressive. No wonder she was taught by Old Master Zhang back then. She's just different! It's a pity that you, little girl, were so foolish as to become Old Master Qin's daughter-in-law!"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but take another close look at the Spring Festival couplets that Ye Weiwei had just written. Not only were the characters written in a grand and majestic style, but the words were also just as good as those used in propaganda.
It is said that one's handwriting reflects one's personality.
I never expected that someone so young would have such lofty aspirations; she is truly a force to be reckoned with!
No wonder Old Man Qin couldn't help but praise it every day.
Ye Weiwei smiled modestly, then took the initiative to greet them: "Hello Uncle Leng, hello Uncle Duan."
Duan Yannian couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You know us?"
Although he and Old Man Qin had a good relationship, this was the first time he had come to visit, not to mention that Leng Guosheng had just returned from the army yesterday.
After saying that, he looked at Old Master Qin. Could it be that this old man said it?
Old Master Qin snorted coldly: "What are you looking at me for? I didn't say anything!"
