Yuan Wei's Quick Travel
Chapter 49 The Daughter of the Scholar in the Red Mansion 6
Before Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai met, both of them were indifferent to the engagement, but after they met, they really took it seriously.
They left a deep impression on each other's hearts and began to take each other seriously.
Yuan Wei would never admit that she was tempted by beauty.
Isn’t this to fulfill the original owner’s wish?
Yuan Wei was in a very good mood and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She picked up the medical book again and leaned on the couch to read.
Su Yuebai was also in a good mood as he returned home in the Yuan family's carriage. He said goodbye to Zhao Shitou and then turned to look at his family who came out after hearing the sound.
"Are these given by the Yuan family? Can we meet Miss Yuan this time?" Miao took the things from Su Yuebai's hand and asked anxiously.
"Yes." Su Yuebai met the concerned eyes of his family and touched his burning ears, "I saw it."
The Su family members looked at each other, understood each other tacitly, and stopped talking. They happily embraced Su Yuebai and entered the house.
When Nanny Chen heard the news outside, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do and hurried home.
"Miss, Miss." Nanny Chen shouted from a distance.
When she walked into Yuan Wei's room, the cold weather made her sweat all over.
"What's so urgent? What should we do if the wind blows?" Yuan Wei pulled her into the inner room and asked her to wipe the sweat off her face first.
"I'm fine. I just heard some news outside and was so happy that I rushed over to tell you."
Yuan Wei said nothing, waiting for her next words.
"The girl's aunt is coming to Gusu." Nanny Chen said excitedly without any hesitation.
Yuan Wei is confused? The original owner's aunt?
Who is it?
Nanny Chen wiped the sweat off her face casually and put down the handkerchief. Yuan Wei asked her to sit on the couch next to her.
"She's the lady's younger sister, Jia Min, the legitimate daughter of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion. She's definitely your aunt!" Nanny Chen clasped her hands together excitedly and said, "I heard she's coming to Gusu with her husband to worship their ancestors."
Yuan Wei suddenly realized, yes, how could she forget Lin Daiyu’s parents!
Isn’t Lin Daiyu’s mother the original owner’s aunt? She should be working in Huaiyang with Lin Ruhai now, right?
She remembered that Lin Ruhai's ancestral home was Suzhou and his official position was the Salt Inspector of Huaiyang.
Most of the stories in A Dream of Red Mansions take place in the capital. The original owner's wish was to go to the capital, so her mind was always in the capital, and she ignored the fact that she had an aunt nearby.
"It's because I've been away from the capital for too long and forgot that the girl's aunt married a person from Gusu." Nanny Chen apologized to Yuan Wei self-reproachfully.
Before, I only wanted to let the girl go to the capital to have some support, but I forgot that Miss Min’s husband’s family and the nearby Lin family are from the same clan.
With such a nearby support, who would want to travel thousands of miles to the capital?
An orphan girl is going to the capital to live with her relatives. Who knows what will happen on the way?
"How can you blame Mammy for this? No one thought of it."
Nanny Chen relaxed when she saw that Yuan Wei really didn't blame her, and continued, "When Madam got married, Miss Min's aunt was only as old as she is now, and she hadn't even been engaged yet. The servants in the family have always said that with Miss Min's talent, beauty, and family background, she could easily marry into the royal family."
But for some reason she didn't marry into the royal family, but instead married to Gusu.
In fact, Nanny Chen rarely saw Jia Min when she was in Rongguo Mansion.
At that time, Nanny Chen was with Jia Yi, and Jia Yi generally did not go near her stepmother. If her stepmother saw her, it would be an eyesore to her, and her life would be difficult.
If you treat yourself as a transparent person and let your stepmother treat you as a transparent person as well, there will be no waves.
Therefore, Jia Yi and Jia Min only see each other a few times a year. In addition, they are not of similar age. For Jia Min, she just knows that there is such a person at home.
But now many years have passed, and they meet in a foreign land. The girl is young and has lost her parents. Most people would feel some sympathy for her, let alone her own aunt.
It's just a matter of raising her hand, and the girl doesn't want anything from her. I think Miss Min should be a little sympathetic to the girl.
Thinking of this, Nanny Chen made up her mind and tried her best to persuade Yuan Wei to seize the opportunity and contact her aunt.
"I understand, Mammy. But why would Auntie come to Gusu to worship our ancestors in such cold weather at the end of the year? What's the matter?"
At this moment, Yuan Wei said "Aunt" very smoothly. She was looking forward to meeting Lin Daiyu's mother from the bottom of her heart.
Yuan Wei's current identity makes her extremely close to Jia Min. Knowing her existence, it is impossible for her not to see her.
Otherwise, the spit from outside would drown her, and it would also be bad for Lin Ruhai's reputation in the officialdom.
"I heard that it was because the young lady's uncle was appointed by the Emperor as the Imperial Inspector of the Huaiyang Salt Administration, and he came to Gusu specifically to pay homage to his ancestors before taking up his post."
"Are you here already?"
"Not yet. I only found out about this when I heard the Lin family discussing it outside. It will probably take a few days for them to arrive in Gusu."
Yuan Wei nodded, it was good that she hadn't arrived yet, and she could also think about how to contact Jia Min.
But she is still in the 100-day mourning period, so she probably can't come in person. When the time comes, Nanny Chen will have to pay her respects on her behalf.
But as long as we get in touch, and we are not far away, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future.
Thinking of this, Yuan Wei completely relaxed.
Don't be fooled by her relaxed appearance during this period. In fact, she has been preparing for the worst.
The original owner was a little girl with some money, and in the eyes of those who were interested, she was a sweet potato.
Su Yuebai, a student alone, cannot protect her.
Therefore, the original owner’s crisis was not only Yuan Cuizhu, but also the invisible enemies lurking outside.
Yuan Cuizhu was able to get the Yuan family's money only because she took advantage of the opportunity.
Now that she knew she had Jia Min as her backer, Yuan Wei's heart finally settled down.
Even if Jia Min doesn't like her in the future, it will be enough for others to know that she is Jia Min's niece.
After all, with such a strong backing, no one dares to provoke her easily.
Due to concerns about potential dangers from the outside world, Yuan Wei kept a low profile during this period and did nothing other than mourning.
As the saying goes, "It is better to be still than to move." During this period, it is not the time for her to show off her intelligence.
Apart from keeping in touch with the Su family, Yuan Wei did not allow Nanny Chen to contact other families.
Even though she knew that the original owner's father had left behind a shop, she did not ask Zhao Shitou to go and check it out.
She was worried that doing so would attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
As for keeping quiet at home, it was because Nanny Chen knew the original owner too well, and if she was not careful, Nanny Chen might notice something unusual.
Fortunately, the original owner was spoiled by his father since childhood. Apart from reading and writing, he was just getting by in other aspects and was not proficient.
Otherwise, with Yuan Wei's current ability, she will reveal her flaws sooner or later.
As for his personality, it is understandable that some changes occurred after he experienced the heavy blow of his father's death.
Precisely because Yuan Wei is always cautious, her life has been quite smooth so far.
