Yuan Wei's Quick Travel
Chapter 48 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 5
"Girl, my man is back."
Nanny Chen knocked gently on the study door, speaking in a low voice for fear of disturbing Yuan Wei.
Ever since she started copying the Book of Filial Piety, the girl liked to stay alone in the study.
Hearing the knock on the door, Yuan Wei put down the pen in her hand, put the letter she had just written aside, picked up the teacup beside her, and took a sip gently: "Let him in."
Zhao Shitou walked in, saluted Yuan Wei, and stood aside.
Yuan Wei asked, "Have all the things been delivered?"
Zhao Shitou quickly replied, "Yes, I have personally handed the item to Master Su."
Zhao Shitou then added cautiously, "When I went there, I heard that Master Su came after the master's funeral, but was turned away by Madam Auntie on the grounds that they were not yet married and it was inappropriate for them to meet. Later, Master Su asked his mother and eldest sister-in-law to come, but they were also turned away by Madam Auntie."
After hearing this, Yuan Wei's face suddenly turned gloomy. She slammed the teacup down on the table with a bang, "How ridiculous!"
Seeing this, Zhao Shitou and Nanny Chen were so frightened that they trembled all over and did not dare to look up at Yuan Wei.
After a while, Yuan Wei realized that her emotions were a little out of control, so she took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner anger.
He said slowly, "I'm not mad at you, Uncle Zhao. It's none of your business. It's just that the family was too busy and someone took advantage of it."
This Yuan Cuizhu is really hateful, her hands are so long.
The original owner was badly cheated by her.
Zhao Shitou relaxed a little upon hearing this and straightened up. "I have already explained this to the Su family. It was the aunt who made the decision herself, and the young lady was not aware of this. The Su family also expressed their understanding."
Yuan Wei nodded and waved her hand for him to leave first.
After Zhao Shitou left, Yuan Wei turned to look at Nanny Chen and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work this month, Uncle Zhao and Nanny. You can receive double your monthly salary this month."
Anyway, there are only two servants in the mansion, Nanny Chen and Uncle Zhao. Their grandson is still young and has not yet received an assignment, so he is not included in the calculation.
When Nanny Chen heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, young lady!"
Her face was filled with joy, and her gratitude towards Yuan Wei increased a little more.
Yuan Wei's eyes fell on the letter she had just written. Seeing that the ink had dried, she folded the letter and put it into the envelope.
As she sealed the envelope, she casually asked, "By the way, how old is Zhao Qing this year? Is he eight years old?"
Nanny Chen was stunned for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Yes, I just turned eight this year."
She couldn't figure out Yuan Wei's intention of suddenly mentioning Zhao Qing's age, so she could only answer the question honestly.
Yuan Wei smiled and continued to ask, "Does he know how to read?"
As she spoke, she spread out a new piece of paper and began to write the second letter.
"I know a few words and taught him some when I had time."
"Let him study more. If Mr. Su passes the imperial examination next year, let him be his servant." Yuan Wei said without raising her head.
"Oh, I will make him study hard." After hearing Yuan Wei's words, Nanny Chen showed a look of joy on her face.
She was just worrying about what to do with that boy, and now Yuan Wei gave him such a good opportunity, which was undoubtedly a gift for them.
"Also, I don't know much about socializing outside. Nanny used to work in the Duke's Mansion, so she has more experience than me. You can tell Zhao Qing more about the ins and outs here, and ask him to help Young Master Su more in the future." Yuan Wei thought for a moment and added.
"Yes, young lady is very thoughtful. I will teach him well." Nanny Chen responded excitedly.
The girl grew up, and Nanny Chen realized again that the girl was no longer the delicate girl she used to be.
As soon as Nanny Chen went out, she grabbed Zhao Qing and gave him some advice, telling him to seize the opportunity.
Yuan Wei smiled, lowered her head and continued writing the letter.
After finishing the letter, Yuan Wei gently blew dry the ink, then checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Contact the capital first so that you can visit them later.
The Yuan family in the capital didn't know what was going on yet, but based on Yuan Wei's understanding of the Rongguo Mansion, she knew that the letter she sent would most likely receive no reply.
But even if there is no reply, I still have to send it so that I can talk about it when we have the chance to meet in the future.
I wonder who was the head of the Jia family at that time? Was Jia Baoyu born?
Yuan Wei had no idea what time it was, and it was not easy for her to ask Nanny Chen directly.
Maybe she herself doesn't understand, after all, it has been more than ten years since she left the Jia family.
As the days passed, Yuan Wei's life became more and more regular.
She would spend a certain amount of time every day copying the Book of Filial Piety.
In addition, he would read medical books in the study or do some appropriate exercises in the yard.
Since coming to this world, Yuan Wei has never stepped out of her home.
On the one hand, it is too cold to go out in winter; on the other hand, it is because people are in mourning, which many people in this era are reluctant to do.
One day, Yuan Wei found a precious, rare medical book and was reading it intently when a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss, Master Su is here. He is drinking tea in the hall." Nanny Chen came in and said.
"Huh? Why is he here now?" Yuan Wei came back to her senses and asked in surprise.
She had never seen Su Yuebai before and didn't know what he looked like.
Although Nanny Chen and Uncle Zhao both praised Young Master Su for his gentleness and extraordinary handsomeness, Yuan Wei always felt that they might just be trying to comfort her, or looking at Su Yuebai through some kind of filter.
You still have to see it in person to be sure.
Yuan Wei put down the book in her hand, stood up, and ordered: "Go and prepare some high-quality charcoal, and pack up the cotton you bought earlier. When Master Su leaves later, he will take it back."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Nanny Chen hurried out to prepare.
I don’t know when Mr. Su will leave, so I have to hurry and prepare everything.
Nanny Chen was a little surprised that the girl suddenly became so interested in Master Su.
However, if you think about it carefully, the girl is alone now and will marry Mr. Su in the future. It is only right for her to pay more attention to him now so that she can have someone to rely on!
Nanny Chen thought she had figured out the reason and went to prepare happily.
Yuan Wei walked slowly into the hall and saw the young man sitting there at a glance.
As I got closer, I saw a tall young man.
The young man was wearing a blue-gray scholar's robe. The robe did not have too many gorgeous decorations, only bamboo patterns sewn on the cuffs and collar as embellishments, which made it look simple yet elegant.
The boy's face was fair and flawless, as smooth as white jade, with handsome features, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips with a faint smile, which made people feel very warm.
After hearing the noise, Su Yuebai raised his head, his eyes clear and bright, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
He looks gentle and elegant, a true scholar who is as gentle as jade.
Nanny Chen had indeed not lied to her. Su Yuebai was indeed very handsome, completely different from the nerdy image she had imagined.
She bowed to Su Yuebai and said, "Mr. Su."
When Su Yuebai saw Yuan Wei coming in, he quickly stood up, bowed deeply to her, and said softly, "Miss Yuan."
This was the first time the two met, and Su Yuebai had already secretly looked at Yuan Wei when she approached.
Just one glance and he was deeply attracted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
He had never imagined that his future wife would be so beautiful. Although she was still young and had not fully grown up, it was obvious that she would grow up to be stunningly beautiful and graceful in the future.
After all, Su Yuebai was just a young boy who had not experienced the world and knew little about the relationship between men and women. Therefore, he did not dare to look directly into Yuan Wei's eyes, but lowered his head shyly.
Yuan Wei looked at him openly, with a smile on her lips, as if she could see through his inner tension and anxiety.
As time went by, Su Yuebai's body began to become stiff, and even his ears gradually turned red.
Finally, Yuan Wei couldn't help but chuckle, and shifted her gaze away, no longer staring at him.
This chuckle successfully made Su Yuebai's face red to his ears. He looked at Yuan Wei somewhat helplessly, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure and couldn't help but explain, "It's cold and there aren't any fresh fruits and vegetables. I got some bean sprouts and some dried goods from home these days, and I thought I'd give them to you to try. They're not expensive, but they're fresh and clean."
When Yuan Wei heard this, she bowed again and said thank you sincerely.
Su Yuebai waved his hands quickly, "I should be the one thanking you, young lady. The books you sent over are very useful."
In fact, what he wanted to say was not just these. The most important thing was Yuan Wei's kindness, which not only soothed the uneasy mood of the Su family, but also allowed him to finally study with peace of mind.
The reason why Su Yuebai was able to study was entirely due to Yuan Hongming's support.
It started when Yuan Hongming accidentally discovered Su Yuebai's talent and wanted him to study for the imperial examinations. Unfortunately, the Su family was too poor at that time and could not afford to support him.
Yuan Hongming was very fond of Su Yuebai. Not only did he accept Su Yuebai as his student without charging a penny, he even secretly subsidized the Su family from time to time, giving Su Yuebai the opportunity to continue studying.
He and the Su family have always remembered Yuan Hongming's kindness to him and the Su family.
To Su Yuebai, Yuan Hongming is not only his teacher but also a father-like figure.
Therefore, when Yuan Hongming passed away, Su Yuebai's sadness was second only to Yuan Wei's.
Before his death, Yuan Hongming entrusted his son to Su Yuebai, hoping that he could help take care of Yuan Wei.
Therefore, Su Yuebai was particularly concerned and worried about Yuan Wei.
This worry was not because Yuan Wei wanted to cancel the engagement, but because the Yuan family was controlled by the Yuan family's aunt at that time.
Su Yuebai was worried that Yuan Wei was young and ignorant and would be plotted against by others.
If something really happened to Yuan Wei, Su Yuebai would not be able to complete Yuan Hongming's instructions and would feel ashamed of his mentor.
Unlike his parents, Su Yuebai is more concerned about Yuan Wei's safety rather than the engagement itself.
What made Su Yuebai happy was that Yuan Wei was not deceived by her aunt, but was able to face life independently.
Seeing Yuan Wei so strong and independent, Su Yuebai felt a lot more relieved.
