Chapter 111: No talent, Langya girl doesn't like it

In Yonghe Hall of Ningguo Mansion.

At this moment, the lady was taking good care of the flowers and plants in the house. She stood among the flowers, holding a silver scissors in her hand, concentrating on the flowers in front of her, with a relaxed look and a smile on her face.

The old man is in his seventies, his hair is as white as snow, and his back is slightly hunched, but his every move is still graceful and elegant.

The daughter of Wang of Langya, whether she is in her prime or very old, is always dignified and graceful.

A maid stood by with her hands hanging down, saying in a flattering tone: "Madam, these flowers and plants have not been touched by you for a while."

The lady asked, "Have you delivered the things for Cheng'er's daughter-in-law?"

"It was delivered. I personally delivered it after breakfast." The nanny smiled and continued, "The Third Young Master's wife looks very healthy. The doctor stayed in the Second House for a long time yesterday and said that judging from the pulse, the Third Young Master's wife is most likely to have a boy this time."

Then he said something nice: "Madam, you are going to be the ancestor now."

The lady replied, "Just say this here. Yu'er has already given birth to two granddaughters for the Lu family. I have been the ancestor for a long time. If your words are spread out, Yu'er will inevitably be unhappy."

The lady is a very insightful person and knows how to behave.

Seeing this, the nanny said hurriedly, "I am sorry for what I said. It's just that Third Madam's baby is..." She wanted to say that it was a boy, which was even more gratifying, but when the words came to her lips, she felt something was wrong, so she hesitated and changed it to "Third Madam, this is not your first baby, so naturally people are looking forward to it more."

The lady did not respond to this question and continued tending to the flowers and plants for a long while. Then she put down the scissors in her hand and slowly sat back on the couch.

The serving nanny quickly handed over some ginseng tea. The old lady took two sips and asked, "Is Miss Feng all right? Has anyone gone to check on her?"

The nanny replied, "My cousin went to the family temple to burn incense today with the two ladies and the young ladies."

"It's good to go out for a walk." The lady nodded and ordered, "Tell the kitchen later to prepare a table of food tonight and invite Zhao'er and his wife and Feng girl to come to my place for dinner."

The maid took the order and left. In the afternoon, Wang Fengyi, who had just returned from burning incense at the ancestral temple, came to the lady with her brother and sister-in-law.

The old lady liked her nephews and nieces very much, especially Wang Fengyi. She was especially kind to her and always took good care of her, asking about her well-being, fearing that she was being treated badly in the mansion.

In the evening, the maids set up the table in the outer hall. The lady was about to take her guests over for dinner when a maid came in and said that the young master had arrived. The lady hurriedly asked someone to invite Lu Ji in.

Lu Ji entered, greeted the lady, and then said to Wang Zhaoji: "I have been busy these days. I was not able to come back to welcome my cousin yesterday. I am really sorry."

The Lu family held a welcoming banquet for the Wang family yesterday, and only Lu Ji was not present. Now he rushed here to apologize to the young master of the Wang family.

Wang Zhaoji naturally would not pick this. After a few polite greetings, they sat down again.

The lady looked at her grandson and introduced Jiang and Wang Fengyi to him with a smile: "This is your cousin's wife, and this is Feng girl, your third cousin." Jiang and Wang Fengyi stood up and saluted slightly. Lu Ji returned the salute and said, "I went to the south to inspect the city a while ago, and I met my cousin's wife and cousin when I stayed in Pucheng."

The lady smiled upon hearing this and said, "I invite your cousin and his family to have dinner here today. Since Ji'er has made it, let's eat together. Your cousin has just arrived in the capital to serve as an official, so you can have a good chat with him."

Lu Ji originally came for Wang Zhaoji, and upon hearing this, he agreed and invited the eldest son of the Wang family to join him as the host.

Seeing that Lu Ji was also going to have dinner here, Wang Fengyi stood up and said to the lady in a tactful manner, "Grandma, I have an appointment with the Sixth Miss. I have to go to her place to look at calligraphy tonight. It's getting late, so I won't have dinner here today. I'll come to accompany you another day."

Wang Shi of Langya had strict education for women. If there were men outside the family present, unmarried women would not sit at the same table with them.

After hearing what Wang Fengyi said, the lady understood immediately and tried to persuade her, "We don't restrict young ladies in this way in our house. Ji'er is your cousin, so you don't have to be so polite, Feng."

Wang Fengyi smiled and replied, "Thanks to my great aunt's kindness, Feng'er shouldn't be restrained, but I really have an appointment with the Sixth Miss, and I can't break my promise."

Seeing that Wang Fengyi was determined to be polite, the lady agreed and said, "Well, when you are free some other day, I will invite all the girls here and we will have a good time."

Wang Fengyi nodded and said okay, and then she politely said goodbye to Lu Ji. Seeing that her sister-in-law was leaving, Jiang Shi did not keep her any longer and accompanied Wang Fengyi out of Yonghe Hall.

When they got outside, Jiang glanced at her sister-in-law's face and said tentatively, "In fact, there is no need for the young lady to be so restrained. I think this mansion is an open-minded family. Just like what the lady said, they don't restrict the young ladies very much."

Wang Fengyi smiled faintly: "That's their rule, we just need to do our best."

Jiang knew that her sister-in-law was a person with her own ideas. She smiled awkwardly and said carefully, "People outside praise the Lu family's young master as the best young master in the capital. It's true. When I first saw him in Pucheng last time, I was impressed. I thought a military commander must be rough, but I didn't expect the Lu family's young master to be so elegant and handsome."

She praised Lu Ji, and seeing that her sister-in-law had no expression, she continued, "Such an outstanding man has not yet married. I heard that there are many families in the capital who are eyeing the position of the Lu family's prince's consort."

Seeing that her sister-in-law was talking endlessly, Wang Fengyi raised her eyes and glanced at her calmly. There was a sharpness in her calm eyes, which made Jiang's heart shrink.

The daughter of Wang of Langya was born with the dignity of a mother of the country.

Jiang closed her mouth in dismay and said no more.

After the two of them separated at the fork in the road, Wang Fengyi's personal maid advised: "Young lady, please don't blame Madam for being too talkative. The Lu family's young master is indeed a rare talent, and it's not Madam's fault for having such a plan in mind."

Facing his confidant, Wang Fengyi relaxed a little and said calmly: "He is just a little more handsome than others, it's not worth it."

The maid said slowly, "Since Madam didn't want Miss to enter the palace as a queen, Miss must have chosen the most outstanding man in the world as her husband. You are destined to be the mother of the country, so you can't be wronged in marriage. I think this Lu family's son is a good match for Miss."

Hearing this, Wang Fengyi's beautiful face showed a hint of nobility: "Even if he is Pan An in the world, if he does not have such extraordinary talent, I, the legitimate daughter of Wang family of Langya, will not be interested in him."
