Fortunate to know Qing peach noodles

Chapter 23 Nobody Looks Down on Her
At this moment, Wei Cishu has not returned from his business trip, the old lady of the Wei family, Mrs. Xu, and Wei Cishu's two concubines, and several children are all in the main hall, waiting for Wei Qing to come slowly. .

The clear skylight was surrounded by the door frame, so bright that it made people's eyes swell.

Wei Qing walked under the crabapple tree and appeared in the field of vision restricted by the door frame.She was dressed in shabby cloth, her hair was tied behind her head, her expression was plain, and her back was straight.

This is very different from the thin, pitiful, crying little girl who was kicked out of the house back then.

Without the shyness and shyness of a young girl in my family, there is a kind of calmness and neatness that cannot be ignored.

The old lady of the Wei family sitting at the head was in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help but recall the scene of a dignified and self-restraining noble lady in Beijing when Miao Lan first entered the Wei family's family many years ago, and her heart sank slightly.

This is her daughter, who has grown so big in a blink of an eye.

Sitting next to the old lady was Mrs. Xu, with exquisite makeup on her face, and a slightly fatter figure, which lacked the enchanting charm of the past, which showed that life was nourishing.

Mrs. Xu squinted her eyes and looked at Wei Qing, her heart was full of anger, but her face remained calm.

It was already a great favor for her to ask the servant to open the back door to welcome her into the house, but this girl didn't know what to do, so she insisted on opening the front door of the Wei family to welcome her back!

When Wei Qing was in the country, Mrs. Xu told Mrs. Lin to take more care of her. Now that she saw her with her own eyes, she thought she would be cowering and the mud could not support the wall. I can't see the slightest cowardice and inferiority.

Xu stared at her for a while, but couldn't see what kind of thoughts were behind her calm face.

Wei Qing entered the entrance of the main hall, stood still in front of the old lady, then raised the corners of his clothes and knelt down to kowtow, without any mistake in every move, he said: "Wei Qing kowtows to grandma to pay her respects."

When seeing Wei Qing, those in the Wei family who knew the inside story couldn't help feeling nervous, and the old lady did the same.

Because Wei Qing looks like his mother Miao Lan.

Now when Wei Qing greeted her, the old lady came back to her senses, with an indescribably obscure expression on her face, she nodded stiffly, and said: "You are too tired to do this big gift, get up quickly."

Wei Qing got up, then turned to Xu who was next to him, still calm and polite, and said: "I have seen Madam."

The more she is like this, the more watertight she becomes.

Mrs. Xu couldn't decide, but she immediately put on a pleasant smile and said: "The old lady said that there is no need to be polite. When you go back to your own home, how polite are you? From now on, you will follow the children at home. Together, call my mother."

Wei Qing said: "Yes, mother."

Mrs. Xu is now the mistress of the house, no matter whether her children or those born in the concubine's room, they have to call her mother in name.

But Xu believed that Wei Qing would not be willing to call her mother no matter what; as long as she was a little bit unwilling, it would be breaking the rules, and Xu could justifiably train her well.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qing didn't hesitate at all, calling her very naturally, as if after entering this house, everyone will be like a family from now on.

Probably because I have suffered a lot in the past few years in the country, and now that the good times are coming, of course I have to catch up.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Xu could only think of this reason, and couldn't help smiling with contempt and disdain.

Now she is the official wife of the Wei family, if this little girl wants to make trouble with her, then she will have to suffer!
A pair of sons and daughters stood beside Xu, looking at Wei Qing with different eyes.

The daughter is about fourteen or five years old, and she was born slim and tall. She is the eldest daughter of the Wei family, and her name is Wei Qiongju.The son is the only son of Wei's dictionaries, which has been praised by the Wei family. His name is Wei Zigui, and he is the fourth.

Wei Qing was ranked second, and there was a daughter born to a concubine below her, named Wei Qiongjiu, who smiled sweetly and called Wei Qing "Second Sister".

Wei Qiongju was gentle and generous, and said softly: "Second sister, you are finally back."

There are only these four children in the dictionary of Wei.

Wei Zigui next to him was only six or seven years old. Wei Qing remembered that when she left here, he couldn't even speak, but now he snorted coldly through his nostrils and said, "You are the one who was kicked out of the house." Female?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward on the spot.

The old lady's face darkened slightly.

Mrs. Xu had no intention of blaming, and said to Wei Qing as a matter of course: "Zi Gui is still a child, and children speak without restraint, so don't take it to heart."

Wei Qing lowered his eyelids noncommittally, with bottomless depths in his eyes, looking at this immature but high-spirited little face.

On weekdays, he must be very much loved by Wei's family to be so domineering and flamboyant.

Wei Qing smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, his smile was extremely gentle.

Like an older sister teasing her younger brother, she stretched out her hand to gently pinch Wei Zigui's face, and said with a smile, "Yes, how did you know?"

Everyone's expressions were uneven.

Wei Zigui was extremely disgusted, and immediately wanted to wave Wei Qing's hand away.

As a result, Wei Qing let go of his face first.Wei Zigui's face was tender, without even a trace of redness.It can be seen that she is really useless.

Although Mrs. Xu was very upset that Wei Qing touched her son, but the hall seemed to be a harmonious family, so she had no choice but to hold back.

Mrs. Xu prepared a yard for Wei Qing, and then asked her servants to take her to the backyard.

The familiar path, the familiar bluestone slabs under the feet, all have a sense of the past.

When she walked into the backyard and pushed open the dusty door, although she restrained her emotions, her pale hands still trembled slightly.

The door squeaked, and there was an old smell in the air inside. Under the sunlight coming in from the window sill, countless tiny dust particles were dancing and jumping.

Wei Qing subconsciously shifted his gaze to the beam.

There was nothing there.

But Wei Qing clearly remembered that five years ago, her mother hanged herself on that beam.

Her mother used to live here, and there were many valuables in the room, such as a gold silk sandalwood carved flower bed, a jade and green screen, a glazed dressing table, a makeup box with eight treasures, and a palace palace inside the box. Inner jewelry, etc.

Right now, there is nothing left, only an ordinary bed, a pair of old tables and chairs, and one or two cabinets are replaced.

Those things have been coveted for a long time, of course they will be looted.

The servant girl assigned by Xu's name is Yilan, who arrived late.

The yard has not been lived in for a long time, and it is covered with a thick layer of dust.Yilan deliberately came late, thinking that Wei Qing must be used to the work after staying in the country for a long time, and she would clean it up before she came.

Sure enough, when Yilan arrived, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Wei Qing busy.

How could the room where her mother lived was covered in dust for a long time.

Therefore, Wei Qing cleaned the bed and windows, the dust on the tables and chairs, and the cobwebs in the corners meticulously.

As a maidservant, Yilan couldn't stand still, so she came in to help a few times.

But I don't know whether she came to help or to make trouble, the pile of ashes that Wei Qing had managed to sweep up, was kicked all over the room by her seemingly careless kicks.

Dust was flying in the air, Yilan took a rag and wiped it twice, she was choked and coughed again and again, she covered her mouth and said, "No way, Second Miss, the dust here is too heavy, this servant can't bear it, so I have to go out to catch my breath. "

After that, she turned around and walked out.

Under the turbid air, a wicked smile could be vaguely seen on the corner of her mouth.

An abandoned girl from the countryside, so what if she comes back, Mrs. Xu didn't order anyone to prepare for her return, and the old lady and Wei Cishu didn't care about her, which shows her status in this family.

To put it bluntly, she is a second young lady on the outside, but to put it bluntly, her treatment is not as good as that of the old lady and Xu's first-class maids.

It's no wonder that even a maid looks down on her now.

At least the maid was wearing a neat and beautiful long silk dress.

It's all right now, Yilan's messing around has scattered the dust in the room, and she has to clean it again.With her cleaning like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to finish it until dark.

Unexpectedly, Yilan just turned around and took two steps, before she could get out of the room, she suddenly tripped over something under her feet, she was caught off guard, and fell to the ground directly.

Yilan fell hard, half of her body ached, and a wave of dust swept up her skirt, she was completely stunned by the fall.

Immediately afterwards, the light and shadow in front of the eyes dimmed.
