Chapter 448： little master

"Hmph! What's so great! It's just bad luck! If I had accepted the emperor as my disciple, I might have been made a princess now." Qi Yiniang couldn't help but complain.

Niu Cui, the seventh aunt, is only nineteen years old this year. Her family owns a tofu shop. Because of her beauty, sharp temper, and unforgiving tongue, she was spotted by the head of the Wei family. He spent 500 taels of silver and a house to take her back and make her her. Qi Yiniang.

Ms. Cao pulled her lips and smiled, and agreed: "No, anyone who becomes the emperor's apprentice will be made the princess or county lord, but they have a head start."

Niu Cui glanced sideways at Mrs. Cao, turned around and went back to her room.

She was indeed unhappy, and she was also jealous of the good fortune of Yingbao, who was about the same age as her. She was able to marry the young and powerful seventh son as his wife, and also had such a distinguished status. But she is not stupid, and there is no sign that Mr. Cao intends to sow discord.

snort! If you want to use her as a gun user, no way!

Who in the entire Wei family doesn't know that Wei Qilang will inherit the family business in the future. She is still so young. If the old man kicks his legs and twists his pigtails, she will point to Wei Qilang to support her for the rest of her life.

The Jiqing Courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Mrs. Wang took Ying Bao and sat on the big kang, playing with Chu Wuyan and looking at her daughter-in-law's belly.

She really wanted to ask why the two of them had been married for so long and were so inseparable, but they didn't get pregnant.

But today is the festival, so I can’t ask these disappointing questions.

After the Chinese New Year, go to the medicine hall and ask a famous gynecologist to come over and check your daughter-in-law’s pulse to see if she needs to be nursed back to health.

Just as I was thinking about it, my mother-in-law came to report: "Madam, the kitchen said that the food is ready. Do you want to have a banquet now?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the sky outside and nodded: "Let them set it up." Having eaten early would allow her son and daughter-in-law to go back and rest early.

The mother-in-law responded and left.

Mrs. Wang asked her maid to place the banquet table in the front hall, and she went to the banquet with her son and daughter-in-law.

Of course, Chu Wuchang also asked An Rou to hold him and take him with him.

Since it was a family banquet, there were no separate tables for men and women. The head of the Wei family, his wife, Wei Zhan and his wife, and several married sons sat at the same table.

Five concubines and a dozen underage concubines and concubines held a banquet in the side room, while the daughter-in-law and grandchildren set another table in the main hall.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt did not come because they were repairing in a nunnery in Luzhou and had not been seen in public for a long time.

During the meal, several adult concubines toasted to Wei Zhan and Yingbao.

Among them, Wei Wulang is only two years older than Wei Zhan. They also played together when they were children, so he is closer to Wei Zhan than the other brothers.

Just because he has a weak character and is not good at socializing with others, and his aunt is not favored, the head of the Wei family does not treat him very much.

Yingbao looked at everyone on the table.

Of Wei Zhan’s six brothers, there are now only four left, two of whom died young years ago.

The only ones sitting at the table were Wei Dalang Wei Wenbai, Wei Erlang Wei Wensong, Wei Sanlang Wei Wenlin, and Wei Wulang Wei Wenzheng.

After dinner, several children, led by their mothers, came to kowtow to the head of the Wei family, his wife, Wei Zhan and Yingbao, and ask for new year's money.

Ying Bao asked Mu Dan to take out the red envelopes he had prepared and give them red envelopes one by one.

These children are all the children of the concubines of the Wei family. They are not very old. One of them is only a few months older than Chu Wushang. He seems to be a little over a year old. He can speak. Under the guidance of his mother, he calls her Aunt Yingbao Qi. .

Yingbao saw such a young child pouting and kowtowing to her, which looked very interesting, so she touched his head and asked, "What's your name?"

“Fanzhi, my name is Fanzhi.” The little milk baby answered word by word.

Yingbao smiled and said, "Fanzhi, what a good name."

Chu Wuyang, who was sitting next to her, stretched his head to look at Fanzhi, nodded politely, and mumbled something, not knowing what to say.

When Fanzhi saw the little baby, he ran over, held his healthy little hand and smiled at him. His movements were gentle, not as careless as other boys.

Yingbao looked at it for a while, feeling slightly moved in his heart. Chu Wuchao is growing up and will definitely need playmates, so why not invite Fanzhi to come over often and keep him company?

Mrs. Wang also saw it and said with a smile: "The two of them are actually playing together."

Turning to the fifth daughter-in-law, she said, "Ms. Yang, why don't you let Fanzhi come over and stay with Wuyou?"

Although she didn't know Chu Wuchang's identity, she saw that Ying Bao valued him very much, so she also paid some attention to the child.

Yang smiled: "That's a good relationship. I'm just worried that I don't have anyone to play with."

Mr. Cao, who was standing nearby, rolled her eyes secretly.

This Yang family seemed like a boring gourd, but now he became shrewd. In order to flatter the Qilang family, he actually made his son a playmate with a servant's child. He really degraded himself.

The head of the Wei family said with a smile: "Just a little person is too lonely. He can't even walk safely. It's better to ask two older people to play with them."

With that said, he turned to look at the eldest daughter-in-law, Cao Shi, and the second daughter-in-law, Yu Shi: "Shunan from Dalang's family and Mo Yu from Erlang's family are just the right age, they are both four or five years old. Why don't we let them go over and play with Wu Yao."

Before Ying Bao could speak, he heard Mr. Cao say: "Dad, you are joking. My Shunan family has a wild temper. I'm afraid I don't know how to play with my children."

Yu Shi also said: "Dad, Mo Yu is going to be enlightened soon, so he won't have time to play."

The head of the Wei family frowned, but because today was the New Year, he didn't have an attack.

I just cursed in my heart: I don’t know what is good and what is evil!

Yingbao smiled slightly and said, "Dad, just have something ordinary."

Even if the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law agree, she still has to think carefully. Those who can stay with Wu Jing must be docile, smart and sensible. Those children who push and hit others with their hands must not be left behind.

After giving out the lucky money, Fanzhi really got to play with Wuyou.

The two children were sitting on the kang, chattering in words that the adults could not understand. Occasionally, Fanzhi would teach Wu Wei seriously and call people. For example, he said to Wu Wei over and over again: "Brother, I am the elder brother."

Wuhao muttered a few words, and actually called him "brother."

An Rou, who was standing nearby and watching, was overjoyed. She held back her excitement and said to Ying Bao: "Princess, it's okay. He can call people."

Yingbao naturally heard it too, touched the heads of the two children and praised softly: "Wu Wei is really smart, and Fan is even smarter. He can actually be Wu Wei's little master."

Fanzhi understood that Aunt Seven was praising him, and his smile turned into a flower, with a hint of pride.

Mrs. Wang was very satisfied when she saw the two boys speculating, and said to Yang, "In the future, you can take Fanzhi to play with Wu Hao more often."

Yang nodded: "Yes."

After staying for a while, it was getting dark.

The head of the Wei family ordered people to set off fireworks in the courtyard.

Fireworks banged and exploded with brilliant brilliance in mid-air.

The boys of the Wei family were like wild horses that had escaped the reins, holding various fireworks in their hands. After lighting them, they ran around in circles in the yard.

Wu Ya was so excited that he wanted to play while jumping in An Rou's arms.

Fan Zhi, who was held in Yang's arms, was indifferent to all this and just turned his head to look at Wu Hao.

He still remembered his seventh aunt’s praise of him, saying that he wanted to be a safe little master.
