Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 456 Extra - Wei Jue (23)

Seeing that Ye Xi was a little embarrassed, the eldest sister-in-law came over to comfort her: "There are a bunch of men in the house, so let them do their work and we can have a good conversation."

Ye Xi looked at her outgoing sister-in-law and thought: The point is that you and I have nothing to talk about.

The eldest sister-in-law took her to sit down and have some tea and cakes, waiting for the men to finish reminiscing about the past and then start the banquet.

The topics of conversation between Wei Jue and his elder brother were nothing but officialdom affairs, so Ye Xi listened quietly. Soon, Wei Ye came back to her to look for his mother.

After staying with her for a while, I started playing with Brother Wei's child.

Ye Xi then remembered what Wei Jue had mentioned, that Brother Wei had three children, and asked where the eldest sister-in-law's other child was.

My sister-in-law said the child was still young and sleeping, so she didn't bring him over.

Brother Wei’s daughter was already quite old, and couldn’t play with Wei Ye, who was only two years old. She stayed beside her mother, quietly.

Ye Xi looked at the other person's age and estimated that he was only about eight or nine years old, which is the age when people love to make noises in modern times. How could he be so quiet?

Later, when she saw how her sister-in-law and the nanny around her disciplined her, she understood the reason and secretly sighed that children from wealthy families had no childhood.

Brother Wei’s eldest son is a few years older than Wei Ye, but boys are wilder, so they can still play together.

The Wei family's first family dinner after many years was naturally quite lively, and the whole family enjoyed the meal happily.

When I returned to the yard, Wei Ye was already asleep.

After eating a few bites, he started playing crazy with his little brother for a long time, and fell asleep on Wei Jue's shoulder on the way back to the yard in Wei Jue's arms.

After the wet nurse took the child away, Ye Xi sat quietly aside, not knowing what she was thinking.

When Wei Jue came in after washing up, he found her still in a daze, feeling a little strange:

"Why don't you go wash up? You've been busy for most of the day, it's time to rest."

Ye Xi suddenly asked: "When are we going back to Hangzhou?"

Wei Jue stumbled. What? Didn't they just arrive in the capital?

"...Xi Niang, are you missing home?" Wei Jue sat down next to her, holding her hand and asked.

"Yeah." The response was barely audible.

Wei Jue thought about today's situation and realized that she was not used to the atmosphere of a big family in the capital.

"We'll just stay for a while. I still have to report to the court and meet with other officials. Can I go back after I'm done?"

"How long will it take?" Ye Xi stared at him and asked.

"About half a month, don't be afraid, Xi Niang. It's your first day living here. It's normal to feel unaccustomed to it. You will get used to it in a few days." Wei Jue comforted her.

Ye Xi didn't say anything else.

The next day, Ye Xi, who was used to sleeping until noon, was woken up early in the morning by the old nanny who came to pay her respects to the Duke's Mansion.

"Second Madam, you should get up and pay your respects to the old master." The old nanny was standing outside the house, her voice as loud as a bell.

Logically, they should have paid their respects to Wei's father, but the three of them, father and son, got up early in the morning to attend court.

It was too late that night when Wei Jue came back. Although Yue had not yet been expelled from the palace, it was no longer suitable for him to enter the palace, so he returned to the Duke's Mansion.

No matter what the Wei family thinks in their hearts, they will always do a good job in public and will never give anyone the opportunity to impeach them.

So the next morning, the father and his two sons wore court robes and went to court.

Wei Jue had not gone to Beijing to report on his work in the past few years, so he decided to go there to report on his work when he came back this time, so as to avoid having to come again next year.

Ye Xi stayed there for a long time with sleepy eyes, and got up reluctantly.
