Chapter 518: Digging Wild Vegetables, the Heroine's Handkerchief Dating 9
The eldest princess was afraid that Wei Fuxiao didn't understand, so she explained it more clearly.
“She’s been away from home for so long, and no one else cares about her, but it’s impossible for Lord Liang and Madam Liang not to pay attention.
Since she was allowed to enter Kyoto City, she was left with a way out.
Talk to her and find out what she thinks, and if it's possible, persuade her.
She is a good lady from a noble family, but now she comes to you, she must be having a hard time.
They are all mothers. Put yourself in her shoes. Although Mrs. Liang was cruel and ignored her, she must have felt bad too.
If you can persuade her, please do so."
Wei Fuxiao nodded in agreement, said goodbye to the eldest princess, and walked towards his own yard.
Wei Fuxiao returned to his yard and immediately ordered people to prepare the snacks and tea that Liang Biyun used to like.
After a while, Liusu brought Liang Biyun in.
When Liang Biyun saw Wei Fuxiao, she was excited at first, but then she realized that things were no longer the same as before, so she suppressed her urge to step forward and prepared to bow, "I greet the princess..."
Before she could finish her ceremony, Wei Fuxiao took two steps forward and helped Liang Biyun up.
"Sister Liang, what is this doing? Are you alienating me?
Come and sit down.
I just heard you were coming, so I quickly asked someone to prepare all your favorite snacks. Come and try them and see if they suit your taste."
As he spoke, Wei Fuxiao pulled Liang Biyun to sit on the soft couch next to him and stuffed a cup of hot tea into her hand.
"Have a drink of something hot to warm yourself up."
Liang Biyun drank hot tea with her head lowered and her eyes drooped. Under the cover of heat, her eye sockets slowly turned red.
Wei Fuxiao pretended not to see anything and pushed all the snacks towards Liang Biyun.
Liang Biyun calmed herself down.
"Even after I did something like that, Sister Dawn still treated me like this, and she wasn't at all estranged from me.
I thought that people like me would be despised and no one in Kyoto would want to associate with me anymore.
I didn’t expect that Sister Dawn still treats me so sincerely.”
Wei Fuxiao thought to himself, if I hadn't shown the princess all those melodramatic stories, letting her know that I wouldn't do such a thing, you wouldn't be able to enter the Princess's Mansion.
Wei Fuxiao reached out and held Liang Biyun's red, frozen hand, and comforted her, "Sister, what are you talking about? I know you were just confused at the time and that's why you did something wrong.
Everyone has their moments of confusion throughout their life. If you know you're wrong, you just need to correct it."
Liang Biyun just smiled bitterly and didn't respond.
Wei Fuxiao didn't mention this matter again.
"I remember my sister used to love sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."
Liang Biyun picked up the snack, took a bite, and nodded.
"It has to be the craftsmanship of the Princess's Mansion. No one else can make it taste this good."
The two of them were just like they used to be in the boudoir, eating snacks and drinking tea while chatting about the weather and the scenery.
They used to talk about clothes, jewelry, and gossip about the capital, but now it’s inappropriate to talk about those things.
After a while of lively conversation, Liang Biyun obviously had something to say, but with her maid beside her, she was too embarrassed to speak.
Wei Fuxiao also noticed it, so he said, "Liuyun, Guiyue, go to the kitchen and see if the roast pigeon I asked someone to make is ready. Go and hurry up, I want Sister Liang to taste it.
By the way, ask the kitchen to make some bird's nest stewed with milk tonight. The weather is too dry, and I need to replenish my body."
The two maids were also tactful. After hearing what Wei Fuxiao said, they bowed and walked out. After they left the door, they closed it from the outside.
After they left, Liang Biyun spoke: "Princess, I came here to ask for your help.
My husband broke his leg, and all the money I brought from home was spent on his medical treatment.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but there's no rice left at home.
I came here shamelessly today to borrow some money from you to get through this winter.
I heard from the ladies in the village that by next spring, we’ll be able to eat wild vegetables from the mountains. Then we can plant some crops and our lives will be better.”
Wei Fuxiao: "..."
To write about digging wild vegetables, you must dig up the wild vegetables, only then can it be considered true wild vegetable literature.
Wei Fuxiao walked to the dressing table and took out a purse containing about twenty taels of silver.
In the original plot, the original owner was not as able to make money as the current Wei Fuxiao, so this is the money he was given.
Wei Fuxiao is not short of money, but he cannot give Liang Biyun too much at once, otherwise it would harm her instead of helping her.
Wei Fuxiao handed the purse to Liang Biyun.
"Sister Liang, don't talk about whether to lend it to me or not. This is the money I saved from my monthly allowance. Take it first.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, you should buy some delicious food.
Come back after the New Year, and I'll save more money for you, so you can have more money."
Liang Biyun took the purse with red eyes.
"These are enough. For an average family, this amount of money is enough to cover expenses for a year."
Wei Fuxiao held Liang Biyun's hand and said distressedly, "Don't treat yourself too badly. Sister, you grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could you know any wild vegetables? Everything needs to be done slowly. Don't be too hard on yourself."
As he spoke, Wei Fuxiao seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, Sister Liang, how did you and your brother-in-law know each other? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Liang Biyun didn't expect Wei Fuxiao to ask this question suddenly, and said without thinking:
"During the Lantern Festival last year, I got separated from my family and accidentally sprained my ankle. There were so many people that I almost fell down. He saved me."
Wei Fuxiao nodded, and like a curious little girl asking about her best friend's love story, she then asked:
"What happened next? Could it be that Sister Liang was rescued by a hero and fell in love with him at first sight, and wanted to repay him with her body?"
Liang Biyun blushed a little and explained, "How could such a thing happen?
Later, the maid called me not far away. He was afraid of ruining my reputation, so he hid in a dark alley not far away. He didn't come out until the maid took me away.
As a result, he picked up my handkerchief again at the place where he had just been with me.
He was afraid that the handkerchief would be lost and ruin my reputation, so he asked someone to bring me a letter with the handkerchief inside.
The letter said that someone had picked up my handkerchief and it was now returned to the original owner.
I saw that the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, with every stroke upright and straight. Thinking of what my father said, "The handwriting reflects the character of the writer," I wrote him back to express my gratitude.
From then on, we corresponded frequently and gradually became in touch."
Wei Fuxiao was speechless after hearing this.
Not to mention that the latter two people were just pen pals, it was incredible that they could develop a relationship that was enough to elope. Even Wei Fuxiao couldn't understand the first part.
There are too many loopholes.
These reasons can only fool these simple-minded young ladies who have never seen the world.
The possibility of the young lady getting separated from her family is very low in the first place.
Take these two personal maids for example. What does personal mean? It means they always stay closest to the lady.
