Chapter 163 Meeting the Old Lady
I only heard Manager Li say:
"Don't be angry. This boy is blind and has offended your distinguished guest. Now we can't keep him in our Sun Mansion. As soon as the birthday banquet is over, I will find someone to sell him away. Please come with me quickly. Our old lady just said that she wants to see you in person."
Jiang Yaoyao felt even more resentful upon seeing this. Her nice clothes were ruined. She had suffered such humiliation in the Sun Mansion for no reason and it was all because of Jiang Yuwei. And this Jiang Yuwei was not the gardener who came to the Sun Mansion to deliver flowers. Steward Li clearly said that Jiang Yuwei was an honored guest of their mansion and even the old lady had to meet her in person.
Jiang Yaoyao didn't dare to speak at this time, because she was also dizzy from the smell of her own body, and could only force herself to follow Chunhong. She didn't have any other thoughts at this time, she just wanted to change her clothes quickly, because the performance was about to start, and she couldn't let down, otherwise when she returned to Yihong Courtyard, Mother Sun would definitely beat her to pieces.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the peony in Ning Huaizhi's hand. Fortunately, it was not splashed with manure. It had been standing outside for a while and had been exposed to the sun. It would bloom on the spot after being watered with spiritual spring water in front of the old lady.
Just at this time, the fool also parked the ox cart, and followed the servant to find Jiang Yuwei and the others, so Jiang Yuwei nodded to Manager Li and said:
"Then I'll have to trouble Manager Li to take us to meet the old lady."
Steward Li smiled and nodded, then led the way. Soon, he brought them to the old lady's yard. At this time, the yard was already full of people who came to celebrate the birthday. Everyone was waiting outside excitedly, ready to show their gifts to the old lady.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei and Ning Huaizhi came in, they were stared at by the noisy crowd.
"Isn't this the family that came to celebrate the birthday in the ox cart at the door just now?"
"I'm afraid it's a poor relative of the Sun family, who wants to come here to ask for good luck on this day."
"Yeah, look at how poor they are."
"Isn't it? You see, the man is disabled, but they can afford the wheelchair."
"Oh, what's so strange about this? Maybe he asked the Sun Mansion for help to buy it."
Jiang Yuwei ignored everyone's comments and just stood calmly in front of the hall waiting for the old lady to call her.
Manager Li entered the inner room, walked up to the old lady and whispered:
"Madam, I have invited the village woman who sells Gastrodia elata to come over for you. Do you want to meet her now?"
After hearing this, the old lady turned around with anger and glared at Manager Li, saying:
"What village woman? She is my savior. You should be careful with your words. Go and ask her to come over."
Seeing this, Manager Li smiled and bowed, saying:
"Yes, yes, the old lady is telling you what I said. I was wrong. I was wrong. I will go and ask Madam Jiang to come over now."
After saying that, Manager Li hurriedly retreated and said to Jiang Yuwei with a smile:
"Mrs. Jiang, our old lady invites you to come over and talk."
Jiang Yuwei nodded calmly and followed Manager Li into the room.
"Oh, we have been waiting in the outer room for so long, and the old lady didn't even ask to see me."
"Yeah, how come this village woman was invited in as soon as she arrived?"
"The old lady is kind-hearted. She looks down on poor relatives who come here to eat and drink for free."
"Who said it wasn't true? This kind of person should just stay outside to have a meal, but he ran in here to ask to see the old lady."
When the old lady saw Jiang Yuwei and her group coming in behind Manager Li, she hurriedly instructed the maid beside her:
"Please invite your family to take a seat."
Seeing that the old lady was kind, Jiang Yuwei also bowed and smiled at her:
"Yuwei really can't bear the title of old lady. She can't be considered a benefactor. At most, Yuwei and old lady are destined to be together. She just happens to have something that old lady needs. It is also because old lady has a long life, so this time is destined to be safe and sound. You will have a long and good life in the future."
The old lady smiled and said, "I am very pleased with what you said.
"Okay, I'll call you Yuwei from now on. Is the little girl next to you your daughter?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded, nudged Ning Wan and said:
"Wan'er, quickly greet the old lady."
Ning Wan was a little scared, but when she thought of what her mother had told her on the way, she mustered up the courage to imitate Jiang Yuwei and bowed to the old lady, then she spoke crisply:
"Greetings, old lady. I wish you good fortune like the long flowing water of the East Sea, and a long life like the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."
The old lady was very happy to hear this. Ning Wan was also very cute, so she waved to Ning Wan and said:
"Little girl, you have such a sweet mouth. Come here and I'll give you some candy."
Ning Wan glanced at Jiang Yuwei, and saw that Jiang Yuwei also nodded at her with a smile, so she hurriedly ran to the old lady with a smile. She was not afraid of the old lady, but felt that the old lady was very kind, so she walked to the old lady, put her arms around the old lady's neck and kissed her.
Seeing this, the old lady stared at Wan'er with surprise and looked at her carefully, then smiled happily and said:
"Hahaha, what a good girl. Your name is Wan'er?"
Wan'er nodded obediently to the old lady. The old lady carried Wan'er to her couch and asked her to sit next to her. She grabbed a handful of crispy candies from the plate and stuffed them into Ning Wan's hand, motioning her to try it.
But Ning Wan directly opened a piece of candy, handed it to the old lady and said sweetly:
"The old lady eats first, and Wan'er eats later."
Seeing this, the old lady happily opened her mouth and took the candy handed to her by Wan'er, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, that's great, Wan'er. Wan'er, you have to come and play with me more often in the future, okay?"
Ning Wan smiled with her big, sparkling eyes:
"Okay, Wan'er likes the old lady."
The old lady was even happier after hearing this. She hugged Wan'er in her arms and instructed the maid beside her:
"Go, get a set of longevity locks. I want to give them to Wan'er as a gift."
Seeing this, the relatives nearby looked at Jiang Yuwei's family with dissatisfaction and whispered:
"Others come here to give gifts, but I think this family comes here empty-handed to ask for something."
"Hey, you can't say that. Didn't you see that man was holding two pots of flowers?"
"Tsk, how shabby! Could it be that the old lady only brought two pots of flowers for her birthday banquet?"
"Yes, I think the flowers are still in two pots of buds."
"It's so funny. This gift is so perfunctory."
"Hey, didn't you hear the old lady call them benefactors just now? This is obviously a way of repaying a favor."
Jiang Yuwei listened carefully to everyone's discussions, so she held two pots of flowers, placed them in front of the old lady and said with a smile:
"Madam, we farmers don't have any valuable things. I carefully cultivated these two pots of peonies. I want to give them to you as a birthday gift."
