Wei Xuezheng walked up the steps and entered the house with his hands behind his back and frowning.
Mrs. Fu looked at Wei Xuezheng carefully and asked with a smile: "Who made you so angry?"
"I'm worried, not angry." Wei Xuezheng sat down and took the tea from his youngest daughter.
"Obviously she is angry." Mrs. Wei Qi stretched her head forward and looked at her father.
"It's obviously distressing." Wei Xuezheng nodded his brow.
"Then what troubled you so much?" Mrs. Fu asked next.
"That good nephew of yours..."
"That's your biological nephew." Mrs. Fu interrupted Wei Xuezheng's words rudely.
"Fourth sister is her cousin!" Wei Xuezheng turned around and pointed at Weisi's wife, who was watching the girl setting out the meal.
"My cousin is angry with my father!" Mrs. Wei Qi jumped a step, sat back in her chair, and announced with a raised voice.
"Listen to Dad!" Mrs. Wei Liu patted her sister on the shoulder.
Madam Wei Si gave her father a sideways glance.
"The prince has arrived in Hangzhou? Have you invited him over for dinner?" Mrs. Fu asked.
"He didn't come! If he had come, I would have taught him a lesson in person..."
"My cousin teaches you a lesson every time!" Mrs. Wei Qi immediately revealed the truth.
"You can't talk to dad like that! You have to be tactful!" Mrs. Wei Liu patted her sister again.
"That means it's my cousin who gives advice to Dad every time!" Mrs. Wei Qi immediately corrected her.
"Shut up and listen to Dad!" Mrs. Wei Si taught her sister.
"He sent a boy over and said that he wanted Miss Li to give a lecture in Gongyuan. How old is Miss Li? What kind of knowledge can she have? Isn't this nonsense!" Wei Xuezheng automatically ignored his daughters' words and huffed angrily.
Hum.
Madam Wei Si raised her eyebrows when she heard this and looked at Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu also raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at Wei Xuezheng and asked: "What knowledge are you talking about? How to talk about it?"
"I said I was talking about style, and I wanted to find a bigger place, and it would be best in Gongyuan. What a nonsense!" Wei Xuezheng held up his cup and drank tea.
"I remember that you told me that Miss Li is good at style. How did you know?" Mrs. Fu looked at Mrs. Wei Si and asked with a frown.
"Wan Qing said it, saying that my cousin and Miss Li knew each other because my cousin asked Miss Li for advice." Lady Wei Si replied.
"Take your sister over there to break plum blossoms and put them in a vase. Go quickly!" Mrs. Fu patted Lieutenant Liu Niangzi and said.
Mrs. Wei Liu sighed, stood up, and pulled her sister out.
When they came out, Mrs. Wei Qi said, "You are whispering behind our backs again!"
Lady Wei Qi stuck out the tip of her tongue, pulled Lady Wei Liu and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, look at that plum blossom, how beautiful it is. Let's go fold that one, fold it and go back quickly. Maybe they haven't finished talking yet."<
/p>
Mrs. Fu watched her two daughters go out, looked at Wei Xuezheng, and asked in a low voice: "The prince plans to marry that Miss Li, this matter..."
"What?"
Before Mrs. Fu could finish speaking, Wei Xuezheng's eyes widened.
"Look at you, you have read so many books in vain, how can you cultivate your moral character?" Mrs. Fu said, squinting at Wei Xue Zheng.
"When did you know? Why didn't you tell me? That Miss Li? Isn't this nonsense! Does the eldest sister know? What did the eldest sister say?" Wei Xuezheng asked a series of questions in one breath.
"Look at you! That's why I didn't tell you!" Mrs. Fu said angrily.
"The last time my cousin came to our house for dinner, it was just to tell my mother about this matter. My mother said that my cousin came from the Xuezheng Yamen. Since I didn't tell you, it's because I don't want you to know for the time being."
Lady Wei Si explained with a smile.
"Where's the eldest sister? I don't know either? In the letter the day before yesterday, the eldest sister was still worried about the prince. No one thinks so. That means the eldest sister doesn't know yet? Now that we know about this matter, how can we hide it from the eldest sister?" Wei Xuezheng
It’s still a series of questions.
"Alas!" Mrs. Fu sighed.
"This is a big deal!" Wei Xuezheng glared at Mrs. Fu.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Fu slapped the table.
"I'm not. I'm just reminding you that the most important thing for eldest sister is the prince's marriage. I mean, you must know this. I just, I have no other meaning. What do you think we should do?" Wei Xuezheng's momentum continued to decline.
.
"The prince first came to me to inquire, and now he has to give lectures. Isn't this just arranging things for your eldest sister and the palace? They are very organized step by step. What does it have to do with you?" "Mrs. Fu was very angry.<
/p>
"That's right, that's right, your mother-in-law is right." Wei Xuezheng laughed along with him, "But now that we know, eldest sister... what I mean~~"
"We told my aunt, but what about my cousin?" Madam Weisi asked.
"Look at you, you are not as good as your daughter!" Mrs. Fu sighed again.
"The way to prosperity is to make one generation stronger than the next." Wei Xuezheng continued smoothly, frowning, "Then this lecture is even more nonsense. Could it be..."
"If you are worried, let Miss Li tell you first, and then let her tell you if you feel better! This lecture has been a common practice for hundreds of thousands of years. Don't worry about Miss Li, Miss Zhang, or the prince Zaozi.
Yes, you just follow the lecture examples and arrange whatever you want!" Mrs. Fu was too lazy to tell Wei Xuezheng any more.
"Yes, yes, you see how well your mother-in-law said it, and she hit the nail on the head." Wei Xuezheng laughed along with him and nodded repeatedly.

Li Xiaonan and Sister-in-law Yin were busy for a few days, so they asked Yu Ting to make a trip and invite Wan Qing over.
Li Xiaonan let Wan Qing into her room, shook out a fine cloth skirt, and showed her signs to Wan Qing.
"What do you think of this skirt?" Li Xiaonan wrapped herself in the skirt and twirled it around for Wan Qing to see.
"That's good." Wan Qing said rather perfunctorily, "Why did you ask me to come over? Just to see if your new dress looks good?"
"There are also new jackets and this coat." Li Xiaonan put down her skirt and picked up the jacket and a wide-sleeved gown.
"Young! What are you doing? What's the big deal?" Wan Qing reached out and twisted a circle of piping on her gown.
"Look at you like this, these clothes are not good? You don't like them?" Li Xiaonan was a little discouraged.
"Nowhere! They are all good clothes and fine fine cloth. What do you want to do?" Wan Qing's voice was a bit exaggerated.
"Aren't I going to talk about style?" Li Xiaonan spread her clothes on the bed, looked at them, and sighed.
She also felt that the clothes were a bit ordinary, but she and Sister-in-law Yin had tried their best.
"Then you don't have to worry. Our prince has already ordered the sewing room to make some decent clothes for you." Wan Qing said with a smile.
"Are they all made of silk?" Li Xiaonan asked casually.
"Of course. The silk is not even decent?" Wan Qing gave Li Xiaonan a half-eye roll.
"Tell me, can this fine cloth make clothes that look better than silk?" Li Xiaonan picked up the skirt again.
"I'm sure it can. This fine cloth is not as shiny as silk, but has a bit of silky texture. Those who value elegance will like this non-luxury. But this non-luxury cannot be truly non-luxury, it must be top-notch luxury.
Then you have to work hard on your needlework. I don't like this lack of luxury." Wan Qing curled her lips.
"Can you help me get some clothes like this?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing and asked.
"You like this kind of thing? You're not that kind of person! It's very laborious and it's really worth it. Let me tell you, silk is better!" Wan Qing said earnestly.
"I know, it's for my fine cloth business." Li Xiaonan sighed.
The amount of fine cloth collected increased rapidly, and the amount of fine cloth sold was still about the same as last year. Sister-in-law and sister-in-law Yin were very angry, and she was even more angry.
"Oh!" Wan Qing suddenly realized, "Then we have to use the sewing room. The sewing room is very busy all year round. I can't direct the sewing room. You have to ask our prince for this matter."
"Is your prince coming back today?" Li Xiaonan folded up her clothes.
"Probably, it's not my place to know." Wan Qing spread her hands.
"I'll wait at your house. I just want to read a book." Li Xiaonan wrapped up her clothes.
"Then go quickly! Yesterday, the boat girl fished a basket of old lotus roots, which were all seven-hole lotus roots. Sister-in-law Wang said that making glutinous rice lotus roots is the best!" Wan Qing said with a smile.
