Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and autumn was almost a month away, so Zhou Waner had to endure the scorching heat during her confinement period.
Although the house has everything you need, all daily necessities are prepared, and even extremely luxurious ice is delivered every day to cool down the room, Zhou Wan'er still doesn't want to have anything to do with Pei Lie anymore.
After Zhou Waner's situation basically stabilized, they moved out of the house prepared by Pei Lie.
After having a child, her mind was focused on the child and she had no time to take care of anything else.
But after that day, Zhou Waner's whole person changed. She became more smiley and stronger.
She seemed to have completely forgotten about Pei Lie. Her eyes and heart were filled with children, and she even started doing embroidery, preparing to earn money with her own hands to support her children.
Mu Lingwei started making pills as soon as she had nothing to do, and the process was very complicated. Zhou Waner also wanted to help, but Mu Lingwei pushed her back to the room and asked her to have a good confinement period.
Today was the day to go to the Gong Mansion for a banquet. Mu Lingwei dressed up a little more delicately. Before leaving, she went to Zhou Waner's room to perform acupuncture on her. As soon as she entered the room, she saw her doing embroidery.
When Zhou Waner saw her coming, she also smiled and said, "Aling, you're here, see if you like this?"
Mu Lingwei took the fan in her hand and felt it was exquisite and luxurious. An elegant orchid was embroidered on the fan, which looked lifelike and like a living thing.
"It's very beautiful, very delicate, and not ostentatious. The embroidery work is really good, but you can't use your eyes often during confinement, so you need to rest more." She then took the embroidery basket on the table and put it aside, saying: "I'll give it to you first.
You perform the acupuncture and then have a good rest. We will go out later and may not come back until evening. You can stay at home with Xiao Weixun."
Zhou Waner nodded and chuckled: "He has so many of you who love him, so he doesn't need me to accompany him."
She added: "Today is the annual Chinese Valentine's Day. Aling, do you have any wishes? For example, do you miss your husband?"
Mu Lingwei said while moving her hands: "I don't have any particularly important wishes. I just want to know when I will have news about my mother. As for him, I quite miss him. He is the only one I care about at the moment.
people."
Seeing her face full of happiness, Zhou Waner was truly happy for her. She was increasingly glad that she had made the right decision, otherwise she would not have such a good friend as Mu Lingwei.
Mu Lingwei asked again: "I see you treat the Chinese Valentine's Day very seriously. Zhen'er and Shaoyao started preparing early in the morning."
Zhou Waner asked: "Have you never celebrated the Chinese Valentine's Day?"
"No." Mu Lingwei shook her head and asked, "How did you live?"
In her previous life, she was so busy that she didn't care about the Chinese Valentine's Day. Besides, the Chinese Valentine's Day is celebrated by lovers in modern times. For someone like her who works in a laboratory, she has no idea what night it is today.
Zhou Waner thought she didn't because she was in a bad environment.
"It doesn't matter if we don't have it. On this day every year..." She paused, covering up the sadness in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Actually, we have many activities, such as going to the temple to worship Bodhisattva, worshiping the moon and praying for blessings, and eating sweet fruits.
, begging for marriage... there are still many tedious steps, and every step cannot be made wrong, otherwise it will affect the marriage."
Mu Lingwei said: "I understand, your Qixi Festival is a festival for young ladies who have not left the court to seek marriage."
"Yes, who doesn't want to have a good marriage? We are all the same, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. So you and I are not keen on it anymore. Zhen'er and Shaoyao can have a good time."
Zhou Waner's ability to talk about this kind of topic with Mu Lingwei shows that she has thought about it.
Mu Lingwei didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just said: "We are taking advantage of them. When I come back, we can celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day together."
Zhou Waner nodded and felt relieved.
The two talked for a while before Mu Lingwei left.
On the other side, outside the door of the mansion, Yan Qi and Liang Yi were also waiting outside the door.
After a while, Mu Lingwei arrived belatedly.
I saw that she was wearing a lotus pink waist-cinching dress and thin veil of the same color. She had a tall figure and a beautiful and elegant appearance. She was holding an orchid fan in her hand and swaying gently. Her movements were as graceful as a willow blowing in the wind.
Orchid and white jade hairpins were also slanted on the bun, and a golden step was inserted. The long bead curtain hung down and swayed.
Mu Lingwei dressed up like a girl. Although her dress was a bit playful, her temperament was cool, neither humble nor overbearing, and she looked more dignified and steady.
The two people on the carriage were also stunned. When she approached, Yan Qi jumped out of the carriage and said: "Aling, you are so beautiful today."
In fact, Mu Lingwei is beautiful even if she is not dressed up carefully. She is a natural beauty.
Liang Yi felt that she looked a bit like his sister, especially the way she held a round fan in her hand. Sister Lan also liked the round fan.
This is the first time that Mu Lingwei carries an exquisite fan with her.
"Thank you. After all, the Yan family is also a wealthy businessman. It seems inappropriate to dress too shabbily. I heard that Mr. Qi is going to do a big business with the imperial court. It shouldn't be embarrassing for my uncle and I to support you.
"She laughed.
Yan Qi said: "Seventh Young Master and Miss Aling must be the most dazzling people today."
The Yan family also has various shops in Shengjing, and their business is quite large, so Yan Qi received the famous invitation.
She thought that since the imperial court had business to do, the major families in Shengjing City and the officials in the imperial court should all want a share of the pie!
This kind of banquet is the easiest place to make friends with celebrities, so she dressed up to be eye-catching.
The first general manager prepared two carriages. Shaoyao and Mu Lingwei rode in one carriage, and Yan Qi and Liang Yi took one.
When the carriage arrived at Shangshu's Mansion, the avenue outside the mansion was already full of carriages.
At this time, Yan Qi and Liang Yi got off the carriage first. Yan Qi suddenly walked up to Mu Lingwei's carriage and stretched out his hand to her, hoping to help her out of the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Shaoyao jumped out of the carriage first and said, "Master Yan, give way, and I will help my princess get out of the carriage."
Her voice was extremely soft, but it did not affect Yan Qi's ability to hear her.
For a moment, Yan Qi felt a little embarrassed and quickly retracted his hand. He almost forgot that Aling was already married.
On the other side, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the steps in the distance.
It's Pei Lie.
She didn't expect Pei Lie to come to such a banquet.
At the same time, Pei Lie also saw Mu Lingwei and others.
He had also been standing on the steps waiting, chatting with a man in fine clothes next to him.
At this time, Mu Lingwei and others also approached.
Yan Qi handed the name card to the steward next to him, and the steward introduced them and said: "Master Yan, please, I will introduce Master Yan to my family's minister."
"Please." Yan Qi also said politely.
The housekeeper handed the name card to the man in rich clothes, and they realized that the man was the Minister of Household Affairs of Tianqi Kingdom.
