$279, The Old Man Who Practices Taoism (10)

When Mr. Wei returned home, Mrs. Wei had calmed down. She took the brush and ink and started to paint on paper.

Mrs. Wei's painting skills were not high, but she had practiced diligently before she got married. Later, she married into the Marquis's Mansion. Although her husband was a scholar, he was full of thoughts about the imperial examination and had no intention of painting. The old man in the mansion was also a carefree man and seemed to have no intention of remarrying. Mrs. Wei had to deal with the affairs of the mansion, take care of her husband's younger brothers and sisters, and take care of her husband who forgot the time when he read books. She was so busy that she hadn't painted for more than ten years in a blink of an eye.

But after she put pen to paper, she felt that it was flowing like clouds and water, without any shackles.

The nanny stood by and fanned her all the time, and saw the appearance of a girl gradually being drawn on the rice paper.

Her hair was not very long, her eyes were big, she was thin and weak, and looked very small. She was sitting on the grass with a smile, and her big black eyes were timid and a little naughty, hiding and looking over.

Although it was not described in detail, the cute and well-behaved meaning was fully expressed.

She couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect that Madam could paint, and paint so well."

Seeing Madam Wei put away her brush, picked up the rice paper, and stared at the girl in the painting, the nanny asked curiously, "Whose family is the child in this painting? Why can't I remember where I saw it?"

She has been serving Madam Wei since she came in. It is no exaggeration to say that the time they have spent together is longer than that of Madam Wei and Master Wei. It can be said that Madam Wei has a clear understanding of who she met and what she did every day.

But why didn't she have any impression of this child in her mind?

Madam Wei stretched out her hand and carefully stroked the corners of the rice paper. Her eyes seemed gentle and sad, "She is one of my sisters."

"But I won't see it again in the future."

I won't see it again? Did she marry far away?

The nanny was still thinking of comforting her, but the sound of the maid bowing came from outside. It was Master Wei who came back.

"Jiao Niang, you are in such a good mood today, are you painting?"

Master Wei still had a lot of things in his mind, but looking at his wife, he hid all those things. While changing clothes under the maid's clothes, he smiled and said, "We haven't visited the garden together for a long time. Why don't we go out for a walk together later?"

If it were before, Madam Wei would definitely agree, but today, she lowered her head to look at the paintings on the table and shook her head gently, "My head hurts a little today, so I'd better not go out."

Because she thought of her sister who died early, she really didn't have the heart to have a romantic relationship with her husband.

Master Wei was stunned. Since marrying him, Jiao Niang has almost never denied his intention.

Could it be that she still misunderstood the matter of keeping a concubine last time?

She winked at the people in the room, and the nanny immediately understood, and bowed with the servants and retreated.

When only the couple were left in the room, Master Wei coughed dryly, walked to his wife, and asked gently, "Does Jiao Niang still misunderstand?"

"If you don't believe it, I can swear..."

When Mrs. Wei saw her husband explaining so seriously, her heart softened. She followed Master Wei's wishes and let him hold her hand, saying, "I didn't do this."

"What kind of person is Master, I naturally believe it. If Master says there is no, then there is no."

Seeing his wife, who always knows the big picture, praising him like this, Master Wei couldn't help but feel elated for a few seconds, "If it's not for this, why does Jiao Niang look so unhappy?"

He immediately began to search his mind for things that could give his wife a headache.

"But Zifeng is fooling around outside again? Whose son did he fight with again?"

Mrs. Wei was a little amused, "Master forgot again, my second brother has been living in the manor for almost half a year. I heard that Master was back a few days ago and was sending a letter saying that he would come home."

Unlike Master Wei, Mrs. Wei never thought that her second brother was immature, but just thought that he was a little playful and naughty, and saw things more clearly than anyone else. For example, this time, Master Wei was sent out, and the old man in the mansion didn't care about things. It was not good for the brother-in-law and sister-in-law to go out alone, so Wei Zifeng used the excuse of going to the manor to recuperate and avoided it. Once he went out, he stayed outside for half a year. If Master Wei hadn't come back, I don't know how long he would have stayed.

Although the two were only ten years apart in age, Mrs. Wei treated him like her own son. After all, he was raised by her.

Master Wei was a little embarrassed. He had been in chaos and busyness since he came back, and had long forgotten about his brother's living in the manor.

"Are you worried about Zining's dowry?"

Master Wei immediately thought of his sister. She had just got married a while ago. Although the dowry had been prepared since Madam Wei married into the family, they had to add more to the original dowry because the family they had decided on was considered to be marrying up.

Madam Wei shook her head again, "It's not these things. I just dreamed of my sister who died young last night. I was a little sad."

Sister who died young?

Master Wei never thought that the answer would be this. He lowered his head and glanced at the painting on the table. It was indeed a thin little girl. He sighed, "The dead are gone, and don't be too sad, my dear. I guess you think about her during the day and dream about her at night. Did you think of her during the day?"

Madam Wei nodded, "That's right, but the dream was too real. In the dream, I gave her the jade pendant that I was wearing next to her..."

Before she finished speaking, Master Wei's body suddenly stiffened.

He immediately remembered that when he got up early this morning, his wife said that the jade pendant was missing.

"Could it be that the jade pendant that disappeared today?"

"Exactly, I am thinking about...Master?"

Mr. Wei had no time to think about anything. He grabbed his wife's hand and walked into the old man's yard.

If he had heard about this before, he would have just said it was a coincidence, but after experiencing the day before yesterday and yesterday, Mr. Wei has improved.

This is definitely a ghost!

absolute!

When Mr. Wei and others came, the old man was giving ideological education to the woman huddled under the tree.

"Sister, I've seen it too, and I've said it before. If you don't leave, will you wait to be wiped out in ashes?"

"If you don't leave before tomorrow, I won't protect you anymore."

Seeing that the woman was silent, Wei Mingyan had a rare headache.

"If you don't leave, you really can't leave anymore."

Under the tree, the woman who had been refusing to speak and had been curled up just now moved. She stretched out her pale hand and kept drawing on the ground.

save--

Save her——

Wei Mingyan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the words drawn on the ground, "You can't speak?"

The always silent woman nodded, raised her head, and opened her mouth to the person in front of her.

Where the tongue should have been, there was nothing.

Wei Ming looked at it for a while and said, "Okay, put it away."

"Let me ask your sister, if my wife is willing to use her body as a medium..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman shook her head in panic.

Even though his face was pale, his eyes were still filled with pleading.

——Don’t tell your sister.

——I can’t let my sister know what I’ve been through.

——Please, please don’t.

Mrs. Wei, who had just arrived at the entrance of the courtyard and was wondering why all the servants had been sent out, heard what her father-in-law said as soon as she stepped in.

Your sister...

When she looked carefully, she saw that the gentleman was now slightly lowering his head, clearly speaking to the open space under the tree.

For a moment, Mrs. Wei didn't care about anything else in her mind.

She broke away from her husband's hand and staggered forward, looking at her father-in-law expectantly with red eyes, "Father, who are you talking to?"

"Is it with my sister? Is Yan Niang here...here?"

"Yan Niang, Yan Niang! Is it you? Are you coming to see your sister?"

Mr. Wei watched his wife reach out to touch the open space, and the hairs all over his body stood up. "My dear, please wait a moment, my dear..."

Mrs. Wei was so excited that Mr. Wei couldn't hold her back for a while. The couple was tugging at each other, but the old man as a father didn't care at all and just watched them tug and pull.

The woman had stood up since her sister arrived. Now she looked at her excited and expectant look, with a timid and happy look on her face. She smiled with tears on her pale face.

--elder sister

——Thank you for wanting to see me

Seeing Wei Mingyan staring at her, the woman bowed and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The old man spoke, and although his voice was soft and indifferent, it seemed to directly hit the hearts of those present. The emotional Mrs. Wei suddenly softened and was caught by her husband and held in his arms.

While holding his wife tightly, Mr. Wei looked around with vigilance and caution. He held Mrs. Wei and slowly moved behind his father, for fear that a monster would suddenly pop out from somewhere and swallow them.

After he was behind his father and was sure he was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "Father, what are those sinister methods?"

As he spoke, he carefully pushed his wife tightly into his arms.

Wei Mingyan glanced at his son with disgust, whose legs were trembling even though he was still pretending to be calm, "Not this time."

oh……

Not this time, great.

Mr. Wei was truly relieved this time. He gently helped Mrs. Wei to stand upright. He turned around and asked his father, "Is she really Jiao Niang's sister?"

Wei Mingyan nodded, "She can't speak for the time being, and she has obsessions so she can't reincarnate. I'm just thinking about letting your wife see what she's been through, and then send her to reincarnation after her obsessions are gone."

Master Wei quickly asked, "Is it harmful to your health?"

When the old man shook his head, he felt relieved and said, "Then let Madam take a look."

Mrs. Wei also woke up and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Father, let me take a look."

Wei Mingyan glanced at the woman who was stopped under the tree. She was shaking her head desperately, her speechless lips opening and closing, full of prayers.

She didn't want the person who loved her most to see her in such miserable condition.

Wei Mingyan took another look at Master Wei, who was still looking around warily, "Ziqing, your wife is weak, so it's up to you."

"by me?"

Mr. Wei was stunned, "Father, what should we do?"

"It's very simple. Come here, my father will explain it to you."

Wei Mingyan stepped forward and pulled his son to the foot of the tree. A loving smile appeared on his fairy-like face, "This matter is a long story..."

Mr. Wei looked at his father seriously and nodded, "Father, please tell me."

"Because it's too long, so please understand."

The old man pressed his son's hand against the tree.

"Wait until you finish reading her life."

"Remember to keep the story short."
