Chapter 228 The ladies were enthusiastic about Wei Ruo
, and then Xu Yaojun and Wei Qingwan went to the peach blossom forest.
Mrs. Yun did not comment on Wei Ruo's rejection of Xu Yaojun. Firstly, Wei Ruo's temperament has always been like this. She would not even give her the face of a mother, let alone others; secondly, Wei Ruo and Xu Yaojun also It’s normal for people who don’t know each other well and don’t want to play together.
Not long after Xu Yaojun and others left, Mrs. Tongzhi came over to talk to Yun.
Yunshi smiled and talked with him. During the conversation, the two mentioned their son in Anzhou Academy.
"I heard from my son Fengyuan that Mr. Wei has great literary talent and outstanding academic skills, and is highly appreciated by his husband." Mrs. Tongzhi praised.
"Sir, you are so complimentary. My son Yichen is average in knowledge. Compared with many young masters in Fucheng, he still has a lot to learn." Yun immediately replied humbly.
Mrs. Tongzhi continued: "Mrs. Wei is so lucky. Both her eldest son and daughter are so outstanding. She will definitely be blessed with endless blessings in the future!" No one would not like to hear such compliments, and so did the Yun family
. No exception. Hearing this, he felt happy in his heart. Then he looked at Wei Ruo, who was quiet at the side, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
Now this scene was something she had never thought of before. She always thought that her daughter's behavior did not conform to the standards of a lady. It would be good if she entered the capital without attracting criticism. She did not expect that she would be praised by all the ladies.
Mrs. Tongzhi was also looking at Wei Ruo. Looking at Wei Ruo's quiet appearance with a gentle and kind expression, she said, "I heard that Miss Qingruo studied under Mr. Wang Caiwei. What books have you read recently?" Mr. Wang Caiwei's
name It is well-known in Liangzhe Road, and the moral character and bearing of the women who study under Mr. Wang Caiwei are much higher than those from other families.
"I have read a few poems recently." Wei Ruo replied.
"As expected of Mr. Wang, the books he reads are different from others." Mrs. Tongzhi said with a smile.
The Book of Songs belongs to the Four Books and Five Classics, and is a book read by men. Generally, women do not read these books. Female gentlemen usually teach their female disciples to read "Nv Jie" and "Nv Xun", which is the Analects of Confucius, and they also specially select the parts suitable for women to read.
Then Mrs. Tongzhi asked again: "Does Mr. Wang teach any other skills?"
"I learned some tea and incense making." Wei Ruo replied.
"Really? I'll meet you when I get the chance. If Qingruo is so smart and studies under Mr. Wang, his skills must be extraordinary!" Mrs. Tongzhi looked expectant.
Wei Ruo said with a smile: "I am not good at academics and I dare not show my humility in front of my wife."
Mrs. Tongzhi said: "Don't be humble. I heard that several ladies from the Yuan family who were classmates with you praised you for your ability. Hui is kind-hearted and has superb academic skills. He is a student that Mr. Wang likes very much."
Wei Ruo smiled slightly and said that it was good to hear such a compliment and should not be taken too seriously.
At this moment, Mrs. Jin also came over.
The Jin family is an aristocratic family in Taizhou Prefecture. Their ancestors had great masters, and now some members of the family are serving as officials in other places.
"What are Mrs. Xu talking to Miss Wei? She's so happy that it makes my heart itch. I can't help but come over and join in the fun." Mrs. Jin was all smiles.
"I didn't say anything, I just asked Miss Wei some daily things. I envy Mrs. Wei to have such a good daughter as Miss Wei. Unlike my Yaojun, who always makes me worry." Mrs. Tongzhi said with emotion.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun said hurriedly: "Mrs. Tongzhi is ridiculous. Miss Yaojun is no worse than my Ruo'er. You don't know how much headache it is when my Ruo'er disobeys." This is true
. , Wei Ruo can testify, Yunshi does have a headache for her.
Mrs. Jin said: "Mrs. Wei, please stop being modest. The government office has announced it, and the court's certificate of commendation has also come down. Miss Wei is the only one in the entire Taizhou Prefecture." Mrs. Tongzhi agreed: "
Qingruo The young lady has been rewarded by His Highness the Seventh Prince before. The most important thing is that she has a loving heart, helps the people, and is deeply loved by the people."
Mrs. Jin followed closely and said: "I just don't know who is so lucky to marry Wei . You are such a virtuous wife, Miss."
Yun smiled sheepishly, unable to hide the pride in her smile. Yun could vaguely feel from the two ladies' enthusiasm for her and her eldest daughter. Her eldest daughter seemed to satisfy them, and she hardly had to worry about the marriage.
A few people were chatting when suddenly a harsh scream came from the direction of the peach blossom forest.
Everyone's hearts suddenly lifted.
Then Xu Yaojun and several young ladies with her ran out of the forest, looking panicked.
Mrs. Tongzhi stood up quickly: "Yaojun, what's going on, you're so flustered?"
"I...I..." Xu Yaojun, who was panicked just now, changed his expression and became hesitant.
Xu Yaojun's behavior made Mrs. Tongzhi even more nervous: "You should speak quickly! Don't scare mother!" "
No... nothing happened. I just saw a snake and was frightened." Xu Yaojun defended.
"Snake?" Mrs. Tongzhi looked surprised, and immediately ordered someone to enter the peach blossom forest to check.
There are so many ladies and ladies here today. If there is a snake, it will be bad if it hurts someone.
"Where is Wanwan? Why didn't my Wanwan come out?" Mrs. Yun came forward and found that Wei Qingwan was not among the girls who ran out, and she couldn't help but become nervous.
After hearing this, Mrs. Tongzhi immediately asked her servants to find Wei Qingwan.
Xu Yaojun lowered his head, looking a little guilty.
Others didn't notice her reaction, but Wei Ruo noticed it, guessing that Xu Yaojun's fright might not come from the snake, but that she and several other people did something to Wei Qingwan, but something unexpected happened, causing her to panic At a loss.
The so-called Peach Blossom Forest was not big, and those who entered quickly came out and brought Wei Qingwan back with them.
Wei Qingwan also looked a little frightened, with her head lowered, her face pale, and her weak Liu Fufeng figure a little shaky, looking very pitiful.
"Wanwan." Mrs. Yun stepped forward quickly and nervously checked Wei Qingwan's condition.
"Mom, I'm fine." Wei Qingwan said.
"But did you meet a snake? Have you been bitten?" Yun asked nervously again.
"Snake..." Wei Qingwan raised her head and looked in the direction of Xu Yaojun.
Feeling her gaze, Xu Yaojun turned away guiltily.
"I wasn't bitten." Wei Qingwan replied.
"That's good, that's good." Yun said repeatedly.
Then Mrs. Tongzhi ordered people to search everywhere to find the scary snake.
At the same time, he apologized to everyone, saying that he was not prepared properly enough and allowed the snake to appear where they stayed, disturbing everyone.
At this time, Xu Fengyuan, Wei Yichen and others heard the commotion across the fence and asked about the situation.
"Mom, what's wrong? But what happened?" Xu Fengyuan asked Mrs. Tongzhi nervously.
