Chapter 76 Tensions
"Hmm... dance..." Xiaobei replied in a low voice.
Wei Jin also felt a bulge in his temple.
"What else did I say?"
"The young master didn't say anything. He just said a lot of things to the eldest lady that he doesn't usually know how to say. He praised the eldest lady for being beautiful, and the dishes of the eldest lady and Xiumei are delicious, and..." Xiaobei tried his best to use euphemistic words. Some, so that their young master will not be so hit.
"what else?"
"Still waiting for the eldest lady to praise you..." Xiaobei lowered his head very low after speaking, not daring to look at his young master's expression and reaction when he heard this.
…
Wei Jin also had another headache.
After the accident when he was ten years old, he stopped drinking. He didn't like the feeling of losing control of his body and hated his own nonsense.
Yesterday, because of the sweetness of the plum wine, I thought that no matter how strong I am, I wouldn’t be able to drink a glass of such sweet fruit wine and get drunk, so I drank it.
###
There was a tense atmosphere in Xingshan County for several days. Everyone saw troops coming and going in the city several times, as well as people transporting supplies and equipment.
For a while, rumors spread that there was going to be a fight outside the city.
Before there were small-scale frictions, this time it is very likely that a large-scale war will break out.
For a while, people were in panic, and the people in the city were worried.
If this battle fails, the city gate falls, and Japanese pirates enter the city, none of the people in the city will be spared.
But at this time, all the gates in Xingshan County have strictly controlled entry and exit, and even if the people wanted to escape, it was too late.
At this time, the Wei family was also shrouded in a cloud.
Whether the rumor is true or not, even the Wei family has no way of knowing now.
Neither the government nor the army announced it to the public, and Wei Mingting has not returned home for ten days in a row. Even if the Wei family wanted to ask him, they couldn't find the time.
Yun's family was so worried that it was hard to eat, worrying that after the war broke out, her husband would be injured in the process of fighting those ruthless Japanese pirates.
While she was worried, she had to continue to take care of everything in the family and make preparations, just in case the Wei family needed to evacuate in time and move the whole family in case of defeat.
Mr. Yun had to be busy taking care of the affairs of the family, and at the same time had to worry about her husband.
Aware of these things, Wei Qingwan went to Cangyun Garden to accompany Yun every day, helping Yun to deal with some trivial matters.
Wei Qingwan grew up in Wei's family since she was a child, and she has long been familiar with the things that a housewife should do, and she is also handy in being Yun's right-hand man.
After the two of them were busy in Yun's study for a while, Yun stopped to take a rest.
"Mother, what did you say? It's my daughter's blessing to help you share your worries."
Wei Qingwan immediately put down what she was doing, came behind Yun, and gave her a shoulder squeeze.
While squeezing, she said to Yun's sincerely: "Mother, you are really working too hard. You need to take care of all the big and small affairs in the family. Now that the situation in the city is turbulent, mother still has to worry about my father who is on the front line." Mother, you must take care of your body. My daughter does not want a rich family, but only hopes that her parents will live a long and healthy life, so that her daughter can serve you until your old age."
"Hey, Mother knows you are filial." Yun patted the back of Wei Qingwan's hand with a look of relief.
Then he sighed and said: "With your help by Mother's side, Mother can relax a lot, but the family doesn't have enough staff, if something really happens, if you really want to escape back to the capital, you will need more staff. "
Yun frowned, feeling heavy.
His husband handed over the family to her, and she must manage the family well so that her husband has no worries.
Seeing Yun's sad face, Wei Qingwan said softly: "Mother, since there are so many things going on in the house recently, why don't you bring Nanny Li back? My daughter doesn't want my mother to work so hard. If Nanny Li comes back, she can help her to some extent." Mother some."
"Nurse Li made a mistake, and it is already light to punish her to go to the Zhuangzi for three months. Letting her come back early may make the people below think that our Wei family is not strict." Yun's tone was a little helpless.
"Mother is right, it's just..." Wei Qingwan bit her lip, and swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Seeing this, Yun said: "Wanwan, if you have anything to say, just tell your mother, we mother and daughter have nothing to hide."
Then Wei Qingwan continued hesitantly: "My daughter just feels that now is an extraordinary period, and there should be some extraordinary punishment methods. The mansion is in the midst of employing people, and Mother Li is very familiar with coordinating the affairs of the family. If you come back It will definitely help my mother share her worries."
"What you said is also reasonable, but the three-month punishment period has not yet expired, so mother should not change it easily." Yun was a little moved.
"Punishment is not limited to going to Zhuangzi, and you can continue to be punished when you return to the mansion, such as continuing to fine the mother's monthly money and let her do some heavy work." Wei Qingwan suggested.
Mr. Yun seriously thought about Wei Qingwan's words. Indeed, the family is really short of staff now, and Madam Li can't help much in Zhuangzi. Only when she returns home can she display her value.
"Wanwan, tell mother honestly, don't you want to miss Nanny Li?" Yun asked.
Wei Qingwan bit her lip, her eyes were reddish, she lowered her head with a sad expression, and kept silent.
Mr. Yun sighed, how could she not understand in her heart.
After all, Nanny Li is an old man in the mansion, and she was also the one who raised and served Wanwan since she was a child. Wanwan's relationship with her must be deeper than others.
"What you just said does make some sense. Now I am really short of manpower, so I will let Nanny Li come home, but she will be fined for another three months. In addition, even if she returns to the mansion, the palm Nanny Zhang is still Nanny Zhang." Yun said.
This can be regarded as a follow-up punishment for Nanny Li.
"I listen to my mother in everything." Wei Qingwan beamed with joy.
No matter what, Nanny Li will be able to return home.
The Yun family could naturally see Wei Qingwan's joy, "Mother also knows that you and Nanny Li have a good relationship, and punishing her to go to the Zhuangzi this time makes you a little sad, but you also need to know that she is a servant of our family after all. , if she is so bold and reckless, if she is not cured properly, she will climb onto the head of the master in the future."
"Don't get too used to her when she comes back this time, you have to let her recognize her identity."
"Daughter knows, please don't worry, mother, my daughter will admonish Mammy well so that she will not make mistakes again." Wei Qingwan hurriedly assured Yun.
After talking about Nanny Li with Wei Qingwan, Yun immediately sighed and asked, "I don't know what Ruo'er has been up to these days?"
