Chapter 79 Anxious

Mrs. Wei looked at Wu Xiangling who was following Mrs. Wu and said in disbelief: "Is this Xiangling?"

Wu Xiangling stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiang Ling has met Mrs. Wei."

Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Wei's expression and said with a smile: "I would say that anyone who sees our Xiangling appearance today would be shocked."

Mrs. Wei reacted and agreed with a smile: "No, I didn't recognize him at first glance."

A few people laughed and chatted for a while, and Mrs. Hu asked Mrs. Wei: "Aren't you busy with things for your Wei Yan recently? Why are you free to come to my place today?"

Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "Forget it. I originally wanted him to marry the third girl from the Pu family, but that boy Wei Yan fell in love with a peasant girl and persuaded his uncle to intercede on his behalf."

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wu looked at each other, and finally Mrs. Hu said: "Dean Meng is not the kind of person who dotes on his juniors without principles. Is there something special about that peasant girl?"

Mrs. Wei shook her head, "I haven't heard of anything extraordinary about her. She just has a brother. You should have heard of it. His name is Ye Ximing. He was the head of the case in the college examination the year before last. Now he is accepted as a disciple by Mr. Zou. ”

Wu Xiangling, who had been listening quietly to the elders' words without speaking, suddenly interrupted when he heard this: "Ye Xiucai's sister, isn't that Aran's sister-in-law?"

Just when Mrs. Wei was about to ask who A'ran was, she heard Mrs. Wu say: "Ms. Zhou's sister-in-law, she must be a pretty good little girl, right?"

Wu Xiangling nodded, "Yeah, she's beautiful, has a gentle personality, and she learned good embroidery skills from A-ran."

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu said to Mrs. Wei on the side: "Yun Niang, it sounds like it would be good if Wei Yan could marry this Miss Ye."

Mrs. Wei smiled and nodded, "To be praised by Xiang Ling, that girl must be really good."

The topic stopped here, and the few of them chatted about Jin Yuzhai's new jewelry, clothing fabrics, etc.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Wu left with Wu Xiangling, and Mrs. Wei asked Mrs. Hu: "What happened to Madam Zhou?"

It feels like during the last flower viewing party, Mrs. Wu only mentioned Mrs. Zhou in an admiring and caring manner, but today she mentioned her in a close and caring manner.

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wei are close friends. They grew up together and can be said to be sisters. Naturally, they will not hide this matter from her.

"Have you never thought about why Xiang Ling suddenly lost weight after being fat for so many years?"

"Why?"

"I heard that Xiang Ling couldn't lose weight before because she was ill. Madam Zhou happened to know a miracle doctor, so Madam Zhou asked the miracle doctor to help Miss Wu cure her illness."

Mrs. Wu didn't want everyone to know about poisoning, so when others asked Wu Xiangling questions, she made an excuse to be sick.

"In that case, Mrs. Zhou can be regarded as the benefactor of the Wu family."

"Yes." Mrs. Hu nodded and said, "That's why I said it would be good if Wei Yan could marry that Miss Ye. If you think about it carefully, is this true?"

"That's true, it's just the Pu family..."

Mrs. Hu shook her head: "Ms. Yun, don't be confused. The Pu family is different from your Wei family. The business they do is not a serious business. Don't look at their current prosperity, but once someone catches them, the consequences will be dire. Just imagine.”

Magistrate Wu had thought about punishing the Pu family before, but the Pu family was ruthless and careful in doing things. Magistrate Wu could not find evidence or a breakthrough, so he never punished the Pu family.

After Mrs. Wei listened to Mrs. Hu's words, she went home and discussed it with Mr. Wei. She then called Wei Yan home after school and told Wei Yan that they agreed to him marrying Ye Xiaomei, but Wei Yan must study hard. , passed the exam. Wei Yan gritted his teeth, agreed, and asked hurriedly: "Mom, when will you go to the Ye family to propose marriage?"

Mrs. Wei said angrily: "I will ask the matchmaker to propose marriage to you in the next few days, okay?"

Wei Yan smiled and said, "Okay, sorry for bothering you."

After coming out of home, Wei Yan walked briskly to Zhou Ran's yard, regardless of how late it was.

As soon as he saw Ye Ximing, Wei Yan giggled and said, "Brother Ye, my mother and others have said that they will have matchmakers come to propose marriage in the next few days."

After hearing this, Ye Ximing said coldly: "There's no need to be so anxious."

He hasn't told his parents about this yet, nor has he asked his little sister's opinion.

Wei Yan said anxiously: "How can I not be in a hurry? If I don't make a decision earlier, what if someone else beats me to it again? Brother Ye, you must say more kind words for me in front of my uncle and aunt."

Ye Ximing waved his hand and sent Wei Yan away in disgust.

In the room, Zhou Ran was reading the "Encyclopedia of Intermediate Embroidery Techniques" under the lamp. Although she had read this book many times, she was already very familiar with the content. What she needed now was mainly practice, but at this time There was no other pastime, and embroidery was too hard on the eyes, so she could only read this book to kill time.

After Ye Ximing came in, Zhou Ran looked up and asked with concern: "Master Wei is looking for you now because of your little sister's affairs? What is the attitude of his parents?"

Ye Ximing nodded, "Wei Yan said that his family will have a matchmaker come to propose marriage in the next few days."

When Zhou Ran heard this, she immediately put down the book in her hand, stood up and said, "No, I have to go and ask the little sister for her opinion first. If the little sister doesn't want to, you might as well go back to Mr. Wei."

"Okay, please."

Zhou Ran came to Ye Xiaomei's room and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened.

Ye Xiaomei looked at Zhou Ran with a guilty conscience, "Third sister-in-law, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Zhou Ran looked at Ye Xiaomei, who had no intention of inviting her in, and said, "You're not doing embroidery work again, are you?"

Being seen through at a glance, Ye Xiaomei nodded in embarrassment and whispered: "Third sister-in-law, I just did two stitches casually." The older girl has learned embroidery for a shorter period of time than her, but now she has mastered more stitches than she does. Her embroidery was also better and better than hers, so she wanted to practice more.

Zhou Ran said in a somewhat stern tone: "Embroidery is very hard on the eyes. You still do it by candlelight at night. Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Ye Xiaomei was ashamed to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law, I was wrong."

Zhou Ran calmed down and said, "Little sister, you can't do everything overnight. Your body is the most important thing."

If she hadn't wanted to live longer, she would definitely not be sitting in front of the embroidery frame all day long like she is now.

Even though she had been paying attention to resting her eyes, she was still worried that one day she would become myopic or blind if she continued like this.

Ye Xiaomei promised: "Sister-in-law, I will never practice embroidery at night again."

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "I believe you, can I enter the house now?"
