Mrs. Wei had a conversation with Mrs. Zhao. Although the two of them didn't have much contact, they had a lot of topics in common. They both had one big concern, which was their daughter.
Then again, no parent has to worry about their children.
Wei Jiaojiao naturally talked about the recent family affairs with his good sisters, and there was nothing to hide. From the sudden visit of Wei Niao Niao to the recent arrogance of the second aunt.
"My grandfather doesn't talk about eldest brother anymore. After weighing the pros and cons, he still thinks it's the most cost-effective to send the guardian bird into the palace. According to what my brother said, this matter must go the way of the Lu family."
Qin Ling'er didn't know why, "What options can the Lu family have? Those who want to become officials probably haven't even arrived in Kyoto yet."
Wei Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Fenghe and said, "Isn't there also Mrs. Gaoming?"
"He Niang?" Qin Ling'er exclaimed, "He Niang is the one who has the ability and means to intervene in the harem, how can she still sit here and listen to our gossip?"
Lu Fenghe also quickly waved his hand, "I don't have that ability. I haven't seen many empresses in the palace, so I can't get involved in this matter."
Wei Jiaojiao shrugged. Anyway, the women in their backyard didn't understand how their father and brother behaved.
"Whatever, if you want to bother, just go ahead. I'm a married woman, I don't care what I do."
Speaking of this, Lu Fenghe had something to say to Wei Jiaojiao.
"I saw you were not in good spirits last time I went over, so I didn't speak to you," Lu Fenghe said.
Wei Jiaojiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it? It's worth choosing a time to talk about it."
"I remember that you had a tea mountain in your dowry, and my aunt also had a tea mountain in her hand."
Wei Jiaojiao nodded, "My mother still has two tea mountains in her hands. She said she is waiting for the family division. My two brothers each have one. However, the three tea mountains are all of average quality and cannot be bought at a good price."
"Today's tea should be ready."
"It's already the end of June. I've made it a long time ago. I left a small amount of loose tea, and most of it was made into group tea. What, you want to buy tea mountain?"
Lu Fenghe shook his head, "I can't find you even if I want to buy tea. Can you still sell your mother as a dowry?"
"I'll tell you now. You can tell your aunt later that I want to buy some tea, and I'll have my assistant come over in two days to check the quality and quantity."
"Okay, I told mother that when the time comes, you can just find someone to go to the Qin family's guild to find the manager."
Lu Fenghe smiled, "Why don't you ask me why I want to buy tea?"
"It doesn't matter what you do with it, as long as you give me money, I won't care if you buy it and make tea and take a bath."
Wei Jiaojiao had a look of wealth on his face, and after he finished speaking, several people burst into laughter.
Lu Fenghe breathed a sigh of relief. She really hadn't thought about how to talk to Wei Jiaojiao about buying tea. She told people that she wanted to divorce, but then she helped Lang Jun do business. This... was a bit hard to explain.
.
After asking for Wei Jiaojiao's letter, Lu Fenghe took note of this matter. Jinbao should have returned from Suzhou almost.
The Zhao family also has a tea mountain in Suzhou, but the tea produced by the Zhao family's tea mountain is of good quality. In previous years, most of the spring tea would be ordered as soon as it was released. Now there is not much tea left. Even if they take all the tea, it will not be enough for the caravan.
The amount of walking.
Mrs. Wei and Wei Jiaojiao did not stay for dinner.
If we don't agree on this evening meal in advance, we usually won't stay.
Lu Fenghe and Qin Ling'er stayed twice, but Wei Jiaojiao politely refused and followed Mrs. Wei.
On the way back, Wei Jiaojiao mentioned that Lu Fenghe wanted to buy tea, but Mrs. Wei didn't ask much.
"I'll write a note later. You can have someone give it to He Niang. Just take the note and go to the merchant's office to find someone."
Wei Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, "I also said that I would ask someone to go to the trading company to find the manager."
"You didn't negotiate the price with He Niang, did you?"
Wei Jiaojiao shook his head, "I don't even know how to sell it or how to negotiate the price with her. When she sees it, you can have someone talk to her."
Mrs. Wei poked Wei Jiaojiao's finger and said, "Chi'er, you are pregnant now. Let's let you go for the time being. When the child is born, you have to stand up. Don't just look at the three acres of land in the backyard all day long.
What’s the point?”
Wei Jiaojiao thought a lot during this period. If it happened, Wei Jiaojiao would not be happy. As a woman, that one-third of an acre of land is a battlefield.
But looking back now, Wei Jiaojiao also feels very bored. The vast world has no place to look and he has to worry about it.
When I got back to Wei's house, I just sent someone to look after the old lady. I found out that the old lady hadn't come back yet, so she probably wouldn't come back for the evening meal.
Mrs. Wei had just ordered people to put out the evening meal when another person came from the old lady's side, saying that the old lady was back and asking the eldest lady to come over and talk.
Old Mrs. Wei is not a person who fights for gifts. She will not go home without seeing her daughter-in-law greeting her and then deliberately ask someone to greet her.
When you get back, ask someone to invite you. Nine times out of ten, there is something going on.
I just don’t know whether I want to explain something or ask about what happened at the Zhao Family Courtyard in the afternoon.
Wei Jiaojiao stood up and wanted to go with him, but Mrs. Wei stopped him.
"What are you going to do? It's not like I have any trouble with you. An Sheng can use your evening meal and don't wait for me."
Wei Jiaojiao was worried about Zhongzhong, fearing that Wei Er's wife would accuse him and the old lady would cause trouble when she came back.
"It won't be any trouble. If we really get into a quarrel, you'll still be in the way and affect my performance. You can use it first when your brother comes over."
After Mrs. Wei said that, she didn't change her clothes, wiped her hands and left with the others.
Compared with Mrs. Wei's calm demeanor, Wei Jiaojiao's sad face seems a bit fussy.
Mrs. Wei didn't have anything else to do with Mrs. Wei. She just chatted with Mrs. Zhao about Lu Fenghe in the afternoon.
"Sister Zhen is fine, is He Niang better?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "That's it. I'm so angry that the corners of my mouth are all blistered, and I'm too embarrassed to see anyone."
"Still a child."
"No, I'm still young, and I'm afraid that my color will fade away, unlike us, who have a wrinkled face and don't care what others think."
So after the two of them complimented each other again, Mrs. Wei got down to business.
"Now that Mother He is well, I've made arrangements here. The day after tomorrow is the 28th. It's going to be a good day."
Mrs. Zhao was confused, what was the arrangement? What does the arrangement for her have to do with He Niang? Could it be that she was still thinking about Dalang Wei...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao's face dropped, and she tried to catch the duck but failed.
Old Mrs. Wei was minding her own planning, "It's also Bird Girl's blessing. I just came back and you happened to be in Yangzhou, so I can't take advantage of you to have fun together."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's face became better.
"You little birdies are quite well-behaved."
Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Wei was a little worried again, "This child didn't grow up in the house. Although he is not crooked, he is a bit dull. I won't hide it from you, our old sisters. I don't think he has such a temper.
Even if you enter the palace, it will be difficult."
"How can this palace be short of a good-looking lady? It won't cause any trouble. Just having good looks is of little use."
