The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 429 Are You Stupid?
Miss Wei Er was unconvinced and said: "Why is Tianxiang Pavilion not a girl from a good family?"

"The princess can go, why can't I go?"

Mrs. Wei was very angry: "Most of the waiters there are men. How can you, a girl, interact with men?"

Miss Wei Er was so angry that she burst into tears: "I don't even know how to live this day. That's the rule she said. I'd better be like a wooden person. I can't speak, laugh, or walk. I'll watch." That’s great!”

After saying that, he stamped his feet and ran away. Madam Wei was so angry that she cursed him.

Miss Wei met her younger sister at the door. She was glared at by her younger sister, but she entered the inner room with a normal expression and saluted her mother: "Auntie, Ajun is not young anymore. You can't be so unruly!"

Mrs. Wei sighed: "Why don't you know it, but I don't know who is following her temper. She is so stubborn that there is nothing you can do!"

While the mother and daughter were talking, they heard the mother-in-law from the outer courtyard coming over and saying, "Madam, something bad has happened. The mother-in-law was throwing bowls and plates in the room, saying that you want to kill her son." !”

Wei Lin couldn't help frowning and said: "Her son is a scholar, how could she be so vulgar and behave like this!"

She was talking about the old woman named Scholar who owed money to the girl from Qifeng Tower. Her son went to pay filial piety to the late emperor, but there was no one to take care of this old mother.

The old woman thought about it, isn't it you, the Wei family, who said you should keep filial piety to the late emperor? Now that her son is not at home, and her life is not stable, the Wei family must be responsible.

So the old woman took the other two old ladies and knocked on the door of the Wei family.

Academician Wei always attaches great importance to filial piety, and these old ladies are the close relatives of the students. People are asking for them at the door, so it is impossible to ignore them.

She had the courage to take in a few old ladies, but unexpectedly, these old ladies didn't regard her as an outsider at all. They ate and drank in the house, and they were always doing things, which made Wei Lin feel as sick as swallowing a fly.

Wei Lin tried to talk to the three old ladies about what women's ethics were, but Old Mrs. Qian looked at her like she was a fool: "Girl, are you mentally ill?"

"You want a woman to stay at home without leaving the door or even taking a step forward, so she can eat and drink whatever she wants?"

Wei Lin said sternly: "The men in the family are working outside, so they can support the young ones!"

Mrs. Qian sneered: "I want the girl to know that my damn man just got married, and in order to earn a few pieces of money, he went to the river to salvage corpses for others."

"As a result, the employer's body was not fished out, but he threw himself into the river!"

"Tell me, girl, if I hadn't gone out to wash clothes at my employer's house, how would I have supported my son?"

Wei Lin frowned slightly: "You have relatives at home and a clan to rely on. Why do you need to go out to make a living on your own?"

Mrs. Qian looked at her as if she were a fool: "A clan member? A clan? A small family in the countryside. After three years of drought and then floods, people died of fatal diseases. They couldn't even open the pot. How could they expect others to do so?" Come to help you?"

"At first we ate wild vegetables, then we ate tree roots, turf, voles in the fields, and birds in the mountains. Finally, we had nothing left, so we could only eat Guanyin soil!"

There was a hint of desolation in Mrs. Qian's cloudy eyes: "Girl, do you know what Guanyin soil is?" "It's white and pure, no different from the fine flour. Mix some wild vegetables in it and eat it." It’s a bit astringent and not very tasty, but you won’t feel hungry after eating it!”

When Wei Lin heard this, she couldn't help but said: "Isn't it great not to be hungry? Then there is no need to show off anymore, right?"

But Mrs. Qian laughed, laughing so much that she burst into tears: "Yes, you won't be hungry anymore. Your stomach will get bigger and bigger as you eat, and eventually it will burst. It's time for you to kowtow to the Lord of Hell!"

Wei Lin was dumbfounded. When she was born, the Wei family was at its peak, and even a meal had to be served by several servants. How could she know about such a thing as Guanyin soil?

"Last year there was a plague and a locust plague. Now everyone who is alive has no surplus food. It is hard to even find a job as a starch washer!"

Mrs. Qian continued to ramble on: "I want my stupid son to do something to make a living, but he insists on saying that the late emperor's death is the most important thing for the country."

"The late emperor, who was such a troublesome son, didn't give us any benefits when he was alive, but when he died, so many people were in mourning. If you, the Wei family, want to be filial sons and grandsons, just do it yourself. Why do you have to drag my son along? ah?"

Mrs. Qian's words were full of resentment, and the other two ladies were also full of resentment. They originally thought that if their son studied and became successful, he could help the family.

But now that the imperial examination has been suspended, my son has nothing to do all day long. He is already despised by his family, and yet he has caused such trouble. What should he do?
Wei Lin didn't know how she got out. She was about to talk to her mother when she heard her younger sister and younger brother arguing with her mother: "It's just two pieces of pastry, now you can't eat it?"

This is the voice of her younger brother. As the only male in the Wei family, he is naturally well-raised. Needless to say, someone has prepared cakes, melons and fruits for her a long time ago. Who wouldn't give them to her younger brother now?
Wei Jun's voice also came out: "On the [-]th, it is the birthday party of the old concubine of the Royal Thai Palace. I told my mother early that she would make summer clothes for me."

"Now that there is no shadow, is it possible that I should wear an out-of-season spring shirt?"

She was about to get haircut, which was the time when she was growing taller. The clothes she wore last year were already a bit too short, and she really couldn't wear them to the banquet anymore.

Mrs. Wei sighed: "Why don't you wear your sister's last year's summer clothes!"

Wei Jun's face was full of disbelief: "Mother, if I go out like this, how will I see anyone in the future? I'm afraid all the noble ladies in Chang'an will laugh to death from me!"

Wei Lin walked in helplessly and said, "Mom, you might as well take the materials you gave me and make them with my sister first. I don't go out much anyway, so it doesn't matter if I have less clothes!"

Unexpectedly, Wei Jun was not grateful at all: "Who wants your kindness? If you hadn't talked about your virtues all day long and made all the women in Chang'an tired of you, would I be so embarrassed?"

"Do you think they admire you on the surface but really approve of you in their hearts?"

"Do you know what they say about you behind your back? They say that you don't want to see people or go out so much. Why don't you just become a sister-in-law? Why do you want to harm others?"

"Pah!" A hard slap hit Wei Jun's face, and his fair face suddenly became red and swollen.

Wei Lin turned around and saw her angry father staring at her sister with red eyes.

"If you don't feel comfortable staying here, then go and be a sister-in-law in a Taoist temple. I think living in a Taoist temple with a pure heart and few desires will help you learn what rules are!"
