Chapter 13 Missing Home
After taking a nap, she went to see Mrs. Wei. Zhu'er led the way, holding the crimson satin she had bought, and Xia Taoyuan followed her all the way into Mrs. Wei's room.
Madam Wei was sitting on a chair with her eyes closed, and a little maid was massaging her back. Xia Taoyuan immediately went over with a smile and bent over to hug Madam Wei's arm, "Mother, do you like this piece of satin?"
Madam Wei slowly opened her eyes and saw Xia Taoyuan. A smile instantly appeared in the corners of her eyes. She patted her gently and scolded her with a smile: "You girl still remember to come and see me!"
Zhu'er then held up the red satin. Madam Wei's eyes lit up, and she stroked the brocade with both hands, praising it repeatedly: "My Ying'er has a good eye. This piece of brocade is a rare and top-quality material."
Xia Taoyuan didn't know whether she was really impressed or just pretending for the servants, so she quickly agreed, "Yes, the shopkeeper said that this is a top-quality product shipped from the south, and there is only one. I thought mother would like it, so I bought it."
Then the maid brought snacks and fruits. Xia Taoyuan and Madam Wei ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Suddenly, Madam Wei seemed to remember something and called over a woman in her thirties or forties, "Tian Xiu, what did you say the other day? Miss Lu said she would come to the mansion to play with Ying'er in a few days?"
The woman named Tian Xiu hurriedly replied, "Yes, I brought Yu'er and Cui'er from the young lady's courtyard to give a massage to the general's wife. When Miss Lu saw it, she said she would come to play with the young lady when her mother got better."
Before Xia Taoyuan could be surprised, she heard Madam Wei smile and say, "Qing'er is a good child. She hasn't been here for a long time. I still remember that she came to play with you before, and you two quarreled while playing, but you made up after a while."
After saying that, Mrs. Wei picked up the teacup and looked at Xia Taoyuan deeply. Xia Taoyuan knew that this was conveying a message to her.
"That's right. I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her." Xia Taoyuan pretended to smile and picked up a piece of dessert. She ate it in small bites. But she thought to herself that it was not good. It seemed that Miss Lu of the General's Mansion and Wei Zhiying were quite familiar with each other. What if they were found out? But she was relieved after thinking about it for a moment. What was there to be afraid of? If you meet a mountain, you can cut it. If you meet a water, you can split it. Since Miss Lu and Wei Zhiying are good friends, it doesn't matter if she finds out. At worst, she can tell the truth. As a best friend, Miss Lu will definitely understand and keep the secret.
After staying for a while, Xia Taoyuan took Zhu'er away. After leaving Mrs. Wei's yard and walking for a while, she ran into Wei Jinghe.
Xia Taoyuan thought it was just right, since he had to find him anyway, so he let Zhu'er go back first.
Xia Taoyuan stepped forward and called him "Brother" affectionately.
Wei Jinghe frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
"Can't I talk to my brother if I have nothing to do?" Xia Taoyuan looked into Wei Jinghe's eyes and said with a grin, "There are too many people here, come with me to the garden!"
Wei Jinghe looked around and saw no one else besides the two of them. He said calmly, "Let's talk about it here if you have anything to say."
Xia Taoyuan thought, well, since you are not afraid of people, what should I be afraid of?
"I wonder if Miss Wei and Mr. Xia have settled down?" Xia Taoyuan lowered her voice, fearing that others would hear her.
"Don't worry about that!" Wei Jinghe said coldly, "Anything else? If not, I'll leave first!"
Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, thinking: What kind of attitude is this? You are asking me for something now! ! No matter what your mother feels in her heart, she is polite to me on the surface. You are really not as good as your mother.
"Since Miss Wei is fine, I feel relieved. I came to you to ask about Lu Qing'er's temper in the General's Mansion. I heard from Madam Wei that Miss Lu will come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few days. I'm afraid she will see through me. Since you are impatient, I will do what I want at that time." After saying this, Xia Taoyuan turned around and left.
Wei Jinghe didn't stop her and just walked away.
She strolled to the garden, walked into the Xiyun Pavilion, sat down, leaned against the pavilion pillar and closed her eyes. How she wished she could be home when she opened her eyes. She missed home so much. Although there was no one at home, every object in the house embodied all her memories.
It was almost dusk, Xia Taoyuan opened her eyes, nothing had changed, she saw the setting sun in the distance, half of the sky was red, as beautiful as an oil painting. She sighed, no matter how beautiful it was, it was not her home.
She didn't know what would happen next, and she was afraid that she would cause something to go wrong, leading to an irreversible situation.
Xia Taoyuan took a deep breath and went back to Yingyuan.
