Chapter 109 Jealousy
"As far as I know, Mrs. Yuan accompanied Mr. Yuan back to Beijing to report on her duties, and she also visited her father, Prince Huai. She was able to come back to give birth in time. She didn't want something to happen on the way, and she was delayed for more than a month on the way, and the child was born early. This caused her to give birth to a child halfway, but I heard that she was lucky enough to meet a noble man, so the mother and child were safe." Yun said.
Then Yun said: "But these are not important, we just need to remember that Mrs. Yuan is still a little weak, unable to stand the cold and fright, so we need to be careful."
"Well, my daughter knows."
Wei Qingwan is soft-spoken on weekdays, and Yun Shi is also relieved.
On the contrary, it was Wei Ruo who acted in a hurry, which made people worry that she would behave out of line.
But until now, it is useless for Yun to worry, and he can only wait and see what happens when the time comes.
After a cup of tea, the three of the Yun family arrived at Tianqin Garden on time.
This is the other courtyard of the magistrate's house, and it is also a garden ordered by Prince Huai for his daughter Princess Jingmin, so the regulations are larger and more luxurious than the magistrate's main house.
However, the Wei family was born in the Zhongyi uncle's mansion, so I have seen this scene before, so I won't show timidity.
Mr. Yun took a special look at Wei Ruo who was following behind, seeing that she also had the same expression as usual, and she did not show timidity, so she was a little relieved.
Wei Qingwan also looked at Wei Ruo subconsciously.
Didn't see her showing timidity, and felt a little disappointed.
Today's Wei Ruo is very eye-catching even though his clothes are simple.
If she showed her timidity, it would be useless to dress up more, but she was calm as usual, overflowing with confidence, and she was compared to her.
Entering the garden, you will see high and low scattered flowers and plants in order. There is a pond full of lotus in the garden. This season, the lotus leaves and lotus have all withered, and there are still a few withered and yellow lotus pods swaying slightly in the wind. Although it is not gorgeous, it has a special sentiment.
There are a few raised mandarin ducks playing on the water, and gold, red, black and other colored koi can be seen in the water.
At this time, the most attractive and the most vigorous blooming is the piece of sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemum.
Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus, golden, orange, light yellow, one by one, full of fragrance.
As soon as I entered the garden, I was surrounded by the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus.
I think the magistrate's wife loves osmanthus very much, so she planted such a large number of osmanthus in the garden, and set the garden party at this time of the year.
When Wei Ruo came in, there were already many people in the garden. These people seemed to be familiar, and most of them were from Fucheng. They chatted with each other.
The three members of the Yun family, who had just arrived for the first time, were ignored, and they seemed a little embarrassed to stand aside.
Yunshi and Wei Qingwan both looked a little unnatural, only Wei Ruo, like a normal person, admired the flowers beside him, completely ignoring what the others were talking about.
There are many kinds of flowers in Qinyuan this day, many of which are rare varieties. Just the corner on her right hand side has many kinds of rare camellias. It's a pity that it's not a good time to appreciate camellias, otherwise this corner must be dazzling.
A little further ahead is a field of roses. Single-season roses usually bloom in spring and summer, and multi-seasonal autumns will also bloom. But this year's temperature is low, and it is estimated that they will not bloom. Therefore, these roses have only green leaves but no flower buds.
Wei Ruo watched as he walked, and came to the lotus pond.
Looking at the pond, Wei Ruo couldn't help thinking that there should be a lot of lotus roots growing under the pond, and when they are ripe in one to two months, they will be picked, filled with corn, and cooked, and the aroma will surely overflow.
At this time, a lady came to Yun Shi: "Mrs. Wei."
Yun smiled and nodded in response: "I don't know what to call Madam?"
"My husband's surname is Xu, and the official is the prefect of Linhai." Mrs. Xu replied.
Zhizhou, Zhengwupin.
Mrs. Xu then asked: "Is that your daughter who is wearing light blue clothes by the lotus pond?"
"Yes, that is my eldest daughter." Yun replied.
"I've heard that the parents and daughters of Wei improved the wasteland to benefit the common people, and it's a blessing." Mrs. Xu said.
"Ma'am, the reputation is too high. Now that the rice field has not been harvested, it's not just whether it can really benefit one party." Yun replied humbly.
"Ms. Wei is humble. Miss Wei is the first in this state capital. And today I saw Miss Wei is dignified and beautiful, with outstanding demeanor. Such a beautiful and talented woman is the daughter of a family I have seen in recent years Rare in the world."
Hearing the praise, Mrs. Yun couldn't help but feel happy. She didn't expect that her daughter's incident in the south of Xingshan County was so famous in Fucheng, and she would be greatly praised for it.
Wei Qingwan stood behind Yun, the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she felt.
She was right in front of Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu didn't even ask, she only had one Wei Qingruo in her eyes, as if there was only one daughter of the Wei family.
The feats of land reclamation in the south of the city are nothing more than that, so why can’t they compare to Wei Qingruo in appearance?
Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo who was standing by the pool from a distance. She was obviously dressed casually and didn't have too many accessories on her body, but she didn't know why she was so eye-catching.
Wei Qingwan looked down at herself, this was carefully prepared by her for a few days, from hair accessories to clothes, they were all the best she could show, but after a set of embellishments, it was not as good as Wei Ruo's casual makeup .
If the clothes she is wearing today are made of the same cloud brocade material as Wei Ruo's, the effect will definitely not be worse than Wei Ruo's.
And this gap was deliberately caused by Wei Qingruo. If she was willing to share the brocade with herself that day, it would definitely not be like this!
At this moment, resentment towards Wei Ruo rose in Wei Qingwan's heart.
Immediately, a thought came to mind. If Wei Qingruo took another step forward, his feet would step into the pool water, and the mud in the pool would stain Wei Qingruo's skirt black.
Just one step is enough, there is no need for Wei Qingruo to fall into the water, she just wants Wei Ruo's clothes to be dirty, just to make her look less outstanding.
Thinking of this, Wei Qingwan walked towards Wei Ruo step by step.
It happened that Wei Ruo was bending over, picking a withered lotus near the shore.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Wei Ruo turned around.
Wei Qingwan pretended her legs were weak, she fell forward a few steps, and then her body lightly bumped into Wei Ruo's body.
Wei Ruo took a step forward, and stepped into the shallow mud by the pool with his right foot.
In order to stabilize his figure, Wei Ruo quickly stretched out his hand and pulled a shrub branch on the shore, using his strength to throw his body back to the shore.
But the strength was a little too much, and the person jumped out several steps.
When it stopped, a dignified and luxurious lady was close at hand, and almost bumped into it.
Seeing this scene, Yun's heart jumped into his throat.
She stepped forward quickly and apologized repeatedly: "Madam Yuan, I'm sorry, my daughter was reckless and offended you."
Madam Yuan didn't reply to Yun's words, but stared blankly at Wei Ruo...
