173 What book do you like?
Speaking of which, Wang Yi has never hated Hai's stepmother and Wang Yuanniang's sister.
Although there is no friendship between the two sides, there is no evil. Both mother and daughter are those who are not very scheming. When you need you, they will greet you with a smile and you will not need you anymore. They will send you away with a cold face. They are not a good person, but they are true and have never done bad things. At least Wang Yizhen comes to see you. You don’t have to pretend that you like you very much. You don’t have to do anything good. If you can eat, drink and support the children left by your ex-wife, you are already a qualified stepmother. You really expect others to be virtuous and gentle. Can you help you succeed?
So Hai and Wang Yuanniang are actually very straightforward people. They will have whatever they think in their hearts. The changes in their minds are all on their faces, and they are not fake at all.
Now the two of them have changed their faces because of Mrs. Xia's words. No one can see the storm in their hearts. This was shocked by Xia Liangying's marriage. Hai's face was blue and there might be a little anger. Wang Yuanniang was so frightened that she almost burst into tears. Wang Yi couldn't help but take a step closer and blocked her sister behind her. Although she never cared about reputation, Wang Yuanniang was only 14 years old and would still get married in the future. Moreover, Wang Yi really guessed that she was afraid that Wang Yuanniang would still have affection for Xia Liangying. If she cried in front of the Xia family today, she was afraid that she could really follow her back to her hometown in the nunnery for the rest of her life.
Hai's face turned ashen, and he spitted out his teeth and said, "Madam Xia, when did this happen? This is really a congratulations. I just heard you mention this sentence at the birthday party of Duke Song's Mansion two days ago. Is there anyone already chosen?"
"Not." Mrs. Xia said with a smile as if she didn't see Hai's face at all: "There was no good candidate at that time, so I just talked casually. Now, for the sake of Ting Niang's marriage, I happened to take the opportunity to choose a candidate for Liangying."
This was so breathless... that is to say, Xia Liangying's marriage was not settled.
Wang Yizhen looked at Hai and Wang Yuanniang, and her face turned pale in the last second to her breath. Wang Yizhen felt that it was going to be bad. Don’t look at her stepmother and sister, she is born with a tough temper. What should I do? I feel that two people will be sold in the next second.
Sure enough, Haishi also smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of girl Mrs. Xia wants to find Liangying. Our two families are a good family. Last time I heard you mention it, I said that I like more lonely books at home and those with poetry and books, and would rather not have the gold and silver of vulgar things, and more elegant girls who dowry poetry, calligraphy and painting, and even think that you have a choice in your heart."
Wang Yizhen was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly felt that someone was poking her with her finger.
It's Wang Yuanniang.
Although this little girl has never liked Wang Yizhen, since the birthday party at the Duke of Song's Mansion last time, the relationship between the two has eased to at least be polite. Especially in the past two times, she has been to many places and has seen many noble people. Her attitude towards Wang Yizhen can even be described as "good". This time she gently poked Wang Yizhen behind her back and pushed her forward gently, looking at it as she was suggesting that Wang Yizhen joins the conversation.
In the flash of lightning, Wang Yizhen suddenly figured it out.
Hai just said that last time I heard Mrs. Xia mention it...Which time was that? With Hai's house attributes, the last time I went out was the time when I went to the Duke of Song's mansion. That time was originally for Wang Yuanniang's marriage, and then Wang Yuanniang's attitude towards her suddenly improved. Also... On the way back, the mother and daughter said that they wanted to borrow a few books by Xiao Wan and copy them, and to give them to Wang Yuanniang as dowry in the future... Wang Yizhen had never thought about the Hai family's mother and daughter in her heart before, but in fact, thinking about it, the hint of the mother and daughter was quite obvious. The copying of books was linked to Wang Yuanniang's marriage.
Wang Yizhen looked up at Mrs. Xia. Although the other party kept talking to Haishi with a smile, Yu Guang seemed to have been taking care of Wang Yuanniang. He would never feel neglected. He was a versatile figure. In other words, her Yu Guang was always paying attention to Wang Yizhen... In other words, last time at the Duke of Song Dynasty, Mrs. Xia had already proposed that she wanted to find a girl who could use her lonely calligraphy and painting as a dowry, which made Hai and Wang Yuanniang hope?
Hai may have just used the Xia family as a spare tire, and she had some thoughts about "what if Wang Yuanniang chose Princess Yan" in her heart, but it was obvious that Wang Yuanniang took it seriously. She had taken a fancy to the grandson of the Xia family before. Now that she has such a hope, she naturally has to go to any difficulties ahead, otherwise she would not have slipped away from the King of Yan so soon. You must know that even if the King of Yan didn't pay attention to it, there were many girls who were reluctant to leave in the hall to choose a concubine.
How valuable is Xiao Wan'er's book...?
Wang Yi really couldn't help but think about this issue for the first time. In the past, she only knew that Xiao Wan'er's paintings were beyond the past and present, and she was a daughter. But according to Aunt Yinyue, Xiao Wan'er's books are the most valuable, even if they are hard to buy. Aunt Yinyue only received a prescription for fragrant powder, which was already the treatment that Xiao Wan'er's confidant had. If Xiao Wan'er's car was placed in front of her, it would be worth it? Wang Zhengqing once said that Xia Liangying was also a young talent in the Imperial College. Is Xiao Wan'er's books worthy of exchange for such a good seedling with a bright future?
Wang Yi was really thinking, and Wang Yuanniang stabbed her several times in the back, and hurriedly said, "I wonder what books Mrs. Xia likes? Speaking of which, there are many lonely books in our family, and maybe they are suitable for Mrs. Lady." This kind of thing was difficult for the mother and daughter of Hai. It was like getting married to her son and getting married. Wang Yi really said this, but it was not necessarily good, but it was at least a buffer. Moreover, those books were well aware of by anyone who was discerning. After all, Wang Yi had the final say in her posthumous works, so she had room for this matter. The meaning in Wang Yi's truth was very obvious. As long as she had, she would give it to her.
Anyway, she doesn't have any in her hands now...what is there any difficulty in verbally agreeing.
Mrs. Xia looked over, and she said, "Oh, I don't like any book, I'm not the children at home, I can use it for homework." Her attitude became more intimate, and the little girl behind her also walked over gently, took Wang Yuanniang's arm, and the two of them laughed. Wang Yizhen had also met Xia Ting Niang before, and this little girl had always been kind to Wang Yuanniang. Wang Yizhen still regarded them as friends, but before she could speak out, she had not given half of her eyes to Wang Yuanniang. Wang Yizhen was a little sad for Wang Yuanniang. The Xia family could exchange the marriage of the concubine's son for a few books, so she was not a kind family. If Wang Yuanniang really got married, she might not have any good results.
