"You didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would make trouble. You hid it too well. I'm not that stupid. I know what kind of person you are. I don't understand the rules of your officialdom, and I won't interfere." Mi Niang lay on his chest. She liked to smell his scent the most, just like his gentle temperament.
Mi Niang actually knows herself very well. She is domineering and independent, so she needs someone like Fang Wei Yan.
Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "I was afraid that you would be distracted by my concern, and I was also afraid that you would worry. After all, this is my business. Which newcomer doesn't have to be on the bench at first? Now I know that you are a very understanding person, and I will definitely not hide anything from you in the future."
Mi Niang said indifferently: "We are close and distant couples. Sometimes you have your own secrets. If that's the case, why should I know everything so clearly?" After that, she smiled playfully: "Maybe I have a secret from you too."
Fang Weiyan was actually a little disappointed. He wanted to be honest with Mi Niang, but Mi Niang seemed afraid that his feelings were too deep and said something like "the closest and most distant couple".
For the first time, he said eagerly, "I don't want to be the closest couple to you. I want to be the closest couple to you."
Mi Niang kissed his Adam's apple and whispered in his ear, "How do you want to get close to me?"
The whole house is filled with spring.
When she woke up in the morning, Mi Niang felt pain all over her body, not knowing whether she had been too crazy yesterday. She pushed Fang Weiyan and said, "Please rub it for me. You were too crazy yesterday. I just teased you a little bit and that's it."
"You shouldn't tease me." Although Fang Weiyan said this, he still pressed her with his hands.
The two of them struggled for a long time before getting up. Today was a holiday for the Hanlin Academy, so there was no need to get up too early.
When they didn't have to wear the official uniform, Mi Niang would dress Fang Weiyan up, which made Fang Weiyan feel a little uncomfortable: "I'm fine in that straight belt, isn't it too..."
Mi Niang said as she sorted out his clothes: "Stop talking, it's just like that. There are some bad gentlemen, who are like a knife, like a polish, like a jade, like a grind, like a dignified and brilliant man. There are some bad gentlemen, who can never be deceived."
This is from the "Book of Songs. Qi'ao", which means that there is a handsome gentleman, who is good at carving bones and ivory, and is good at carving jade and rare stones. He has a dignified bearing and generous manners. With such a handsome gentleman, how can you not think of him?
Fang Weiyan rarely thought he was handsome, and now he felt embarrassed after hearing what Mi Niang said. Although he wanted to listen again, he said, "Don't compliment me like that. What's so good about my appearance?"
Mi Niang once again felt that Xu had raised him so well, really so well, from the inside out.
"I have to say it, I have to say it. In Yuefu. Bai Shi Lang Qu, it is said that Bai Shi Lang has piled stones like jade and arranged pines like emeralds. Lang is unique and gorgeous, there is no one like him in the world. Our Wei Yan is such a person, Lang is unique and gorgeous."
Young couples can hug each other like this all day long and not feel hot at all.
For the first time, Fang Weiyan couldn't help but feel that it was good to be together from morning to night.
Of course, this is impossible.
They had to pay their respects to Madam Weng and Madam Xu in the morning. As they were walking along the road, Mi Niang couldn't help but ask, "Why can't we just stay together for a day?"
She thought Fang Weiyan would scold her or feel embarrassed, but he replied, "I thought so too."
With such secret joy, Mi Niang's mouth corners were always raised.
The female members of the family are all experienced people, so they can see that newlyweds have tenderness and sweetness, but after this period, many of them become strangers.
Old Madam Weng said to Fang Weiyan, "You look thinner."
Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "My grandson has a big appetite recently, don't worry."
This is because she is afraid that Mrs. Weng will say that Mi Niang is not taking good care of her son. Mi Niang is a person who knows a lot from everything, and of course she knows what these people are thinking. If a man is doing well, it may not be the woman's credit, but if a man is not doing well in some way, it must be the woman's responsibility.
Xu took a sip of tea and said casually, "Why don't you see Aunt? Today we invited people from Xiuluoge to make clothes. The shopkeeper said they have frozen white silk and flowery satin. He also said that this summer is hot, so he brought Guangsha silk. I think Aunt has always liked Xiuluoge's clothes. Old Madam, do you think we should ask someone to invite them?"
When the women heard that there was someone coming to embroider Luoge, they were overjoyed.
Fang Yaqing whispered to Mi Niang, "Sister-in-law, you are afraid of heat, so just choose Guangsha and I will choose frozen white silk. Then we can get along well."
Although Xu was rich, there were many people in the mansion and many gossipers. If she was too partial to her daughter, the concubines would inevitably gossip.
Because of this, Fang Yaqing didn't dare to choose all of them.
Mi Niang smiled and said, "Of course you can. My wedding dress also includes the three-sole that my cousin bought from Hangzhou, and the sesame yarn. Come over later. There is a piece of pink sesame yarn, bright and tight, just right for you."
"Since my sister-in-law said so, I won't be polite." Fang Yaqing originally liked Mi Niang, and after that, she was very caring and tolerant towards her, and treated her like her own sister.
The aunts and sisters-in-law were being polite. Seeing that they were all women, Fang Weiyan hurried to leave. Mi Niang wanted to get up and see him out, but he said, "You just fulfill your filial duties to the old lady on my behalf. I'm leaving first."
As soon as she sat down, she heard Madam Weng say to Xu: "Your sister has moss on her face. I asked her to rest for a few days. She can't come out again during the Mid-Autumn Festival with moss on her face. If you want to make clothes for her, just ask someone to go to Taohuayuan."
Xu smiled: "You are right."
The younger daughter-in-law, Li Shen, was always quiet, Yu was always full of thoughts and never talked much, Xiangjun was currently worried about having a child, so they didn't say much, and Mi Niang also followed the crowd.
The atmosphere became heavy for a moment, and it was Old Lady Weng who spoke up, "Speaking of which, your second aunt died early, leaving behind your sister from the Ye family. I couldn't sleep well these days, and I don't know what to do?"
Mi Niang glanced at Ye Jiayin, her face slightly flushed, and she roughly understood what it meant.
She was almost eighteen years old, and finally reminded Mrs. Weng that she wanted to talk about her family.
Xu advised: "Miss Ye, if you need anything here, just take care of me. Don't worry."
For Mrs. Xu, finding a husband for her niece was a small matter, but Ye Jiayin needed to take good care of herself and be taken out more often. With the family background of the Marquis's Mansion, she could find a good-looking and talented man, even if she didn't have to find a good-looking man with a clean family background and ambition. She could also prepare two maids as a dowry. If Ye Jiayin couldn't bear the pain of childbirth, it would be the same to let the maids give birth.
Old Madam Weng had to be relieved even though she was worried. She looked normal now, but old people cannot afford to get sick. Once sick, even the best person will lose all their energy and spirit.
The people she was most worried about were Fang Furong and Ye Jiayin, and her most pitiful one was her daughter. She was widowed at a young age, which made her arrogant and unruly as a child, so she was not on good terms with everyone in the mansion. While she was still able to move, she had to slowly give her private money to Fang Furong.
Because of Ye Jiayin's matter, she had to ask Xu for help. She thought that Xu and Ye Jiayin had never had any conflicts. She heard that Ruan and Jiayin also got along well and had no conflicts of interest. Xu was also a person who cared about her reputation and would definitely not find a poor family for her niece.
She felt relieved.
No one present noticed what Mrs. Weng was thinking. They just thought that Ye Jiayin was old and had indeed reached the age to retire. They had raised her for so many years, and it would be unkind of her to block others in the end.
I've already taken ninety-nine steps, and I'm still willing to let people talk nonsense at the last step?
Mi Niang was also very happy for Ye Jiayin. In her previous life, she had no one to take care of her when she reached the age of 15, so she had to go through hardships to enter the palace. At least she still had a strong body to fight tigers. Ye Jiayin's physique was not as good as hers. Now that Xu was in charge, it would be good for her to have a home in the future.
Seeing that the news had been passed on, Old Lady Weng was a little tired, and everyone took the opportunity to leave. Mi Niang wanted to go to Xu's place, but was sent back by Xu, who said, "Wei Yan finally got a rest, what are you doing here with me, go back and accompany him."
Although Mi Niang wanted to go back, she still said, "Fourth Master just told me to be a filial son to you."
"Come on, you stay here with me everyday, how can you not be filial to me? Go back quickly."
When Mi Niang was about to leave, she saw Nanny Tang, who was beside Xu, hurried in from outside.
From time to time, Xu's face turned red, and she even slammed the table, angrily saying, "This is simply nonsense."
Mi Niang was now unable to leave, and hurriedly said, "Madam, please take care of yourself. No matter how big the matter is, you have to take care of your whole body." Although she didn't know what the matter was, seeing how angry Xu was, it must be a big deal.
"No..." After sitting down, Xu became even more furious. She had never expected that her kindness to the Jin mother and daughter would lead to such a scandal. And Xu Jing was almost her most beloved nephew, so she agreed to let her sister-in-law marry her aunt's cousin.
She looked at her daughter-in-law who cared for her earnestly, sent her away, and said to her: "Jin Shuqin and Xu Jing's little bastard are secretly pregnant. If it weren't for Mother Tang who happened to find out today, how long would we have been kept in the dark? Although I don't treat Shuqin as my own daughter, I also like that she is a dignified person. They..."
Mi Niang couldn't help but feel sympathy for Fang Yaqing, but she couldn't cry and complain anymore, so she said, "Madam, please ask someone to invite the fourth master over so we can have a good discussion."
"Yes, you are right." The person Xu relied on most was not Marquis Dong'an, but Fang Weiyan.
Fang Weiyan arrived soon, and Mi Niang told her about this matter. He was very surprised. In her previous life, Jin Shuqin lived in her own house, and she was also pregnant with the young doctor Zhong from the Imperial Hospital. She married into the Zhong family with her belly pregnant. Because of this incident, her mother lost all her face.
Because no one expected that Jin Shuqin, who had the most respected reputation, would cause such a thing.
Also because of the warning from his previous life, Fang Weiyan informed his uncle and aunt and asked the Jin family to go to the Xu family. After all, it would have been more appropriate for Aunt Jin to go to the Xu family when she returned to her parents' home. Besides, his aunt was very strict in managing the household, and the Xu family had few members and no idle people to interact with. How could he have known that Jin Shuqin was actually hooking up with his future brother-in-law.
He immediately felt that he had harmed his sister and felt very guilty.
