Don't put anything shameful on the 23rd
Qing Luan and Xia Zhi, master and servant, two classes, left, and hid behind the fake mountain for a while before coming out.
Xia Zhi's face didn't look good, she was several years older than Qing Luan and naturally understood the implication of Wei Laolao's words. The second master had a mistress outside, and even had a pair of children with her.
The young girl was still young, how could she hear such a dirty thing? On the summer solstice, as soon as he thought of this, he looked at Qing Luan, but saw that her face was calm, with a pair of big eyes as black as ink, and her tranquility was frightening.
"Miss..." Xia Zhi moved his lips, but didn't know what to say.
"Let's go, since we're here, we should naturally burn incense for our parents." Qing Luan spoke lightly and led the way forward.
Alright, her good second uncle, squandering the Weiyuan Marquis Manor's money, keeping a mistress and having illegitimate children outside, she will make him understand what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
The ancestral hall of the Wei Yuan Marquis's residence was located in a remote area, and there was an old servant guarding it. Although it was spotlessly clean, this kind of place always gave people a gloomy and heavy feeling.
Qing Luan pushed open the heavy black gate and entered the grand ancestral hall of the Wei family, where their ancestors were enshrined.
Summer solstice on the front twisted three incense, Qingyun took over after, respectfully knelt on the mat and knocked three loud heads.
Ancestors of the Wei family, if you are in heaven with a spirit, bless Qing Luan to protect the 100-year foundation of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. Father and mother, rest assured that even if Qing Luan exhausts all his resources, he will definitely protect his brother's safety and not let our main house become extinct.
Qing Luan's expression was firm and resolute, her beautiful eyebrows tinged with a calmness that didn't belong to someone of her age, like the lotus flower emerging from the water, elegant and refined, yet unyielding and unbreakable.
Xia Zhi stood quietly by, wondering when the girl had changed. Nowadays, the girl is calm and wise, although only twelve years old, but seems to have gone through the accumulation of years, such elegance is convincing.
The green bird waited in the ancestral hall for about a short while, then turned back, and during the time when the master and servant were selecting, no one even noticed.
The banquet was set in the Moon-Worshiping Pavilion, which was originally built for viewing the scenery. It was about one zhang high and shaped like a hanging foot building, but no matter which direction you were in, you could appreciate the scenery outside. A bright moon hung in the sky, matching the occasion perfectly.
"Old madam, let your daughter-in-law help you up." Li Shi hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, and Ba Wei Xin'er was squeezed to one side.
A group of people went up to the Moon Worship Pavilion, and since it was a family banquet, they didn't even have separate seats.
The old lady naturally took the first seat, followed by Second Uncle Wei Yanhuai and Third Uncle Wei Yanshi. The seating arrangement for the younger generation was a bit strange, with all of them seated according to their age, regardless of whether they were born to the wife or concubine. As a result, Qing Luan, the second daughter, ended up sitting quite far back.
"This woman, Second Aunt, is really interesting. Does she think that such an arrangement will make her own son and daughter appear more dignified? A cold smile flashed in Qing Luan's eyes, 'Robbing the magpie's nest' was exactly what they were doing."
Li and Yan, as daughters-in-law, naturally did not have the qualifications to sit at the table. The two of them stood behind Qin, with an air of readiness to serve. The younger children were being taken care of by their nursemaids.
"Old lady, second brother, this is the Weiyuan Marquis's residence, it's big brother's home, there's no reason to place Qing Luan, the master of this house, so far away." Wei Yanxi frowned as he saw the arrangement after entering the Bailing Pavilion.
To say that the second and third branches are just guests, they came to celebrate the festival in the main house, but actually put the only legitimate daughter of this mansion in such a predicament, is this reasonable?
