"Okay, hurry up, I have to go to Jing'an Hall to have breakfast with my grandmother." Ning Wei was annoyed that she had overslept, and her words were full of anxiety.
Xu was lost, so she came back again. She cherished the days spent with her grandmother.
Zaohua explained while tidying up Ning Wei's clothes: "Donghui from the old lady's side came over to send a message. The old lady said that the young lady will go to Jiang Shangshu's house for a banquet today, and there is no need to go to Jing'an Hall to pay her respects.
The two servants thought that the young lady did not need to say hello, so they let the young lady sleep a little longer."
Ning Wei lowered his eyes and looked at the aggrieved Zaohua, and softened his voice, "Even if you don't have to go to say hello, you shouldn't sleep until the end of the month. From now on, you two have to wake me up at the beginning of the month at the latest."
Mrs. Zhao is in charge of the house, and she doesn't want to be blamed.
Sang Ye came over with face wash and said, "Miss, you didn't sleep last night, okay? At the end of the day, I heard the sound of the lady turning over."
Ning Wei understood the two people's good intentions, but she had to let them know her situation in the mansion, and patiently explained: "You also know that the wife is the master of the house now, we must be cautious in doing things, and we can't fall into any trap."
People have their say. Do you understand?"
Zaohua suddenly understood, bent her knees and replied: "Yes, the young lady has thought carefully, and I know I was wrong."
Sang Ye then bent his knees and admitted his mistake.
Ning Wei looked at the two of them, sighed slightly, and said: "Forget it this time, be more careful in the future. If I haven't woken up yet, you have to wake me up."
Zaohua and mulberry bowed their knees and said, "I understand."
Ning Wei stopped talking, washed up and went outside. Seeing a gift box on the table, she asked, "Where does this come from?"
"Miss, these are the gifts that the old lady prepared for the young lady. These are ginseng for Mr. Wu of Jiang Mansion, bird's nest for Mrs. Qi, and jujube for Miss Jiang." Zaohua walked to the table and pointed to the things on the table.
The gift box explained everything to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei opened it and looked at it. They were all high-quality goods, and she felt moved again.
"Let's have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go to Jing'an Hall to say goodbye to my grandmother."
Mulberry Leaf poured the porridge and said: "Donghui said that the old lady is going to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion today. I am afraid she has already gone out. By the way, Donghui also said that the old lady has already told the madam about Miss
Today we will go to Jiang Mansion for a banquet. Miss, just go and have fun."
"Going to the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion?" Ning Wei was a little surprised. Last night, her grandmother didn't say she was going to the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion today.
She had just expressed her feelings last night. Grandma went to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion today to cancel the engagement? If Mrs. Zhao knew about this, I am afraid there would be a big fuss.
"Yes, Donghui said. When she got up early in the morning, the old lady sent someone to Weiyuan Hou's Mansion to deliver the post. After breakfast, she would go out."
Ning Wei nodded, "I know, let's go out after breakfast." She had to pass by Qingshi Street when going to Jiang Mansion, and she wanted to go to the shop to explain something.
In Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, Madam Hou had just come out of the flower hall. The servant was waiting with the post sent by Mrs. Qian from the Ning Mansion. "Madam, this is the post handed over by Mrs. Qian of the Ning Mansion."
Mrs. Hou looked at Nanny Han next to her and asked, "Old Madam Qian of the Ning Mansion?"
The servant leaned forward and said: "Back to Madam, yes, Mrs. Qian from Ning Yuanwailang's house on Qili Street."
Aunt Han stepped forward, took the post from the servant and handed it to Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou opened the post and looked at it, then turned to Aunt Han and said, "Let me get ready. Mrs. Qian will be coming over soon."
Aunt Han turned around and went to give her instructions.
Mrs. Hou frowned slightly and walked towards Qingyi Garden.
Mother Han explained the good news and quickly followed. She asked: "Madam, why did Mr. Qian send me the post so early?"
Mrs. Hou shook her head and said, "It's not mentioned in the post, I don't know!"
Aunt Han looked at Madam Hou and asked, "Are you here to get Madam's reply?"
Mrs. Hou sighed slightly and said worriedly: "I don't know yet. This matter is very troublesome. Although I haven't said it clearly, I hope Brother Le can be cautious in his marriage."
Aunt Han wanted to comfort her, but her lips moved, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only sigh. She understood Mrs. Hou's mood.
She has been with Mrs. Hou for decades and knows how much Mrs. Hou values the prince.
When the prince turned sixteen, Mrs. Hou began to worry about his marriage.
Over the years, Mrs. Hou has been attending various banquets in an endless stream, just to choose a satisfactory concubine for the prince.
Mrs. Hou said quietly: "You also know that the Hou family has family rules. The marriage contract in Mrs. Qian's hand was made by the old master. As long as the Ning family insists, we can only accept this marriage."
Aunt Han sighed and said: "If a family like Ning Mansion can climb to the Marquis Mansion, it is a high branch. How can they not persevere? It's a pity that our eldest son is so good at everything. How many famous ladies in the capital want to do that?"
Marry the prince? Alas!"
Mrs. Hou was already upset, but after Aunt Han said this, she felt even more aggrieved.
He sighed heavily and said: "Oh! Everything is fate, and you can't control it at all!"
Aunt Han said dissatisfiedly: "Oh, the Ning family's family status is too low. Moreover, these girls from the Ning family.
The eldest lady lost her mother when she was young. How can such a girl know the rules? How can she be the wife of the prince? It is not unreasonable that the eldest daughter of a widowed woman cannot marry.
The second young lady is the daughter of the current Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao is really the daughter of a merchant, with a philistine spirit from head to toe..."
When Grandma Han mentioned Mrs. Zhao, she shook her head and said nothing more.
Aunt Han's words touched on Mrs. Hou's pain point. Thinking that her proud son would marry the daughter of such a family, she felt extremely aggrieved.
"Why don't I know these truths? Now that the two people who made the engagement are no longer alive, what can we do?"
Aunt Han's eyes lit up and she said: "Madam, the two people who made the engagement are no longer alive anyway. Even if Madam disowns this family, it makes sense.
Besides, we still have the support of the empress. The empress also hopes that the prince will have a good marriage, so what will happen in the future? Do you think so?"
Mrs. Hou naturally understood what Aunt Han meant.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "How can I make the decision in this matter? The Hou Mansion has the rules of the Hou Mansion. The marriage contract was made by the old Marquis. Both the Marquis and the prince are committed to each other.
The Marquis has already given his nod to this marriage, so there is no room for maneuver."
Seeing that there was no room for change, Grandma Han asked: "The eldest lady and the second lady of the Ning Mansion are both of marriageable age. Which lady should choose the eldest lady or the second lady?"
Mrs. Hou replied: "After this marriage is decided, I will only choose Miss Ning. As for the rules, I will teach you slowly after I get married.
Okay, I'll go change my clothes first, and then go to the living room to see Mrs. Qian. Where is Brother Le? When did you come back yesterday? Did you go out again today? "
Aunt Han bent her knees and said, "Your Majesty, you returned home yesterday, but you are still in the house today and have not gone out."
