Slowly Deep Love
Chapter 6: The Taiwei Mansion and the General Mansion have a connection
After the room was cleaned, Changle and Qian Yue left with their plates.
Nanny Li is dressing Yue Weiwei.
The figure reflected in the bronze mirror was a little blurry, so Yue Weiwei took a closer look out of curiosity.
White undergarment, waist-length black hair, everything has changed except the face!
Madam Li said, "Miss, you are the master, and I, as a servant, should not be nosy, but I still have something to say to you."
Yue Weiwei felt the pressure spreading throughout her body.
Being a master is not easy!
"Although you have lost your memory, you must not forget etiquette. No matter where you are, you must maintain the demeanor of Lady Ming from the Taiwei Mansion and treat people with courtesy."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I promise you everything. If I do something wrong, please point it out at any time, Madam Li, and I will correct it." Yue Weiwei didn't mind and responded with a smile.
Nanny Li stopped combing the brush in her hand, attracted by Yue Weiwei's difference.
Such cheerfulness and optimism reveal open-mindedness and positivity.
"Madame Li, are you familiar with Changle and Qianyue?" Yue Weiwei couldn't help but ask, remembering how Madame Li had just reprimanded them.
"I and both of them came from the Ming Mansion with the young lady, so of course we are familiar with each other." Nanny Li continued to comb her hair.
"Minglu's parents are on a business trip in Jiangnan now?"
Nanny Li was shocked, as if the young lady was asking about someone else's affairs.
"Yes! Lord Ming is very busy with official business. He was ordered to do this mission. This trip will take a long time, and Madam Ming will go with him."
Yue Weiwei was glad that she didn't have to play the role of someone else's daughter for the time being!
"Tell me about the Taiwei Mansion!"
"Miss, you have already met the Grand Marshal and his wife. They are quite kind to you. Young Master Li is an orphan of the General's Mansion and lives with his mother. Alas! You say he is lucky, born into a noble family, and you say he is unfortunate, because he has never even seen his father."
"Is that the man who ordered more tea just now?"
"Yes! His father died in battle at the frontier when he was still in his mother's womb."
Yue Weiwei felt uncomfortable after hearing this. Although Mr. Li had a miserable life, he did not look negative and melancholy at first glance.
Young Master Li left a deep impression on her.
"I see that he has a resolute face and is self-reliant. He has such an optimistic attitude and must have great things in his heart."
"The young lady has not met Mr. Li very often, but she thinks highly of him."
While they were talking, Yue Weiwei had finished dressing up, and Nanny Li took out a light blue dress for her to put on.
It was Yue Weiwei’s first time wearing ancient costume, and she clumsily cooperated with Nanny Li to wrap the clothes around herself.
"Clothes in ancient times were long and cumbersome!" Yue Weiwei almost blurted out.
When he saw Nanny Li, he remembered her earnest advice and immediately shut his mouth and held back his words.
"Miss, the Grand Marshal has ordered that you cannot leave the gate of Qingxiang Pavilion now. Just walk around the courtyard and relax!" Nanny Li advised.
"I'm under house arrest!" Yue Weiwei was dissatisfied.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head! Let's do this for now!
She dressed up and went out into the courtyard.
There were many maids busy in the yard, some sweeping the floor, some trimming flowers and plants, some carrying trays back and forth...
Seeing Madam Ming standing in the courtyard, they all greeted her.
Yue Weiwei felt a little uncomfortable with such hospitality. In order to return the gift, she nodded her head again and again like pounding garlic.
And kept replying: "Hello! Hello! You are busy!"
The maid Xiao Si was even more at a loss. Although Madam Ming usually treated them with tolerance and peace, there was still a difference in status and there was always a sense of distance.
Today, Madam Ming seems particularly approachable.
Nanny Li held Yue Weiwei aside and said softly, "It is normal for servants to greet you. Miss, you don't have to respond one by one."
Yue straightened his back slightly and walked towards the pavilion not far away.
The pavilion is built on a pond and can be reached along a corridor. Goldfish are darting around among the water plants, looking extremely lively.
There was a round table in the pavilion with a fruit plate on it. Yue Weiwei walked over and saw juicy grapes, orange mangoes, and red strawberries and cherries.
It is spring now and fruits are a rare commodity.
If it were modern times, how much would I pay for a table like this? Yue Weiwei began to think with an abacus.
Minglu really lives a life of luxury!
"Madam Li, why is Young Master Li in the Grand Marshal's Mansion today?" She sat down and asked the question in her mind.
"During the three days when the young lady was in a coma, I heard that Master Li came to the Grand Marshal's Mansion every day. He went to Xinyao Pavilion to visit the third young lady."
"The Third Miss? The daughter of the Grand Marshal?"
"Miss, you are absolutely right. This third young lady is named Li Hengying. She was born prematurely, so she is weak and often sick."
A fortune is not as good as a good body! Yue Weiwei shook his head, feeling sorry for the third young lady.
"Mr. Li has a close relationship with the Third Miss!"
Yue Weiwei picked a grape and put it in her mouth. It tasted sweet. Minglu's life of carefree food and clothing was really enviable!
"More than that! The relationship between the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the General's Mansion is very close!"
"Tell me about it." Yue Weiwei's curiosity was aroused.
"The Grand Marshal and General Zhenyuan are both from the Li clan, and their blood relationship is very distant. When the late emperor started the rebellion, the Grand Marshal gave his full support, and General Zhenyuan was the only one in the Li clan who supported him. Later, during the expedition to the frontier, although they won, it was said that the war was brutal and General Zhenyuan also died on the battlefield. At that time, the general's wife was pregnant and had difficulty moving. The two families happened to be neighbors, and the Grand Marshal's Mansion took special care of the General's Mansion. However, it took a long detour to enter and exit the two mansions from the main gate. Finally, the Grand Marshal asked the late emperor for permission to tear down the two walls facing each other and build a gate, which was named Qin Gu Gate."
"Master Li comes in and out of the Qin Gu Gate?"
"When the Qin Gu Gate was built, Master Li was not even born yet! Master Li might have troubled his mother, otherwise there would be no Qin Gu Gate!"
"Not long after Master Li was born, the son-in-law and the third young lady were also born, and the three children moved back and forth between the two mansions."
Nanny Li wanted to say something, but Yue Weiwei, nervous, interrupted her and asked, "Son-in-law? Did he come today?"
Nanny Li frowned and said angrily, "He didn't come!"
Yue Weiwei felt a surge of joy in her heart. Hiding for one day is better than hiding for one day!
Nanny Li was puzzled and asked, "Young lady, why do you seem so relaxed when your husband is not here to visit you?"
Yue Weiwei fiddled with the cherries on the plate to ease the awkwardness, and said softly: "Minglu should be angry, but I forgot everything when I woke up, even him. How can I face him!"
Nanny Li was angry. The young lady didn't remember her son-in-law, but she was still thinking about him in her words and deeds!
Yue Weiwei glanced at Nanny Li's expression and felt that she had not said anything. The moment she lowered her head, she seemed to see a tangled mess in her heart, which was dark and messy and was getting tighter and tighter.
She felt restless and hot all over, so she stood up and walked towards the cool breeze.
