Qian raised thorns one after another, and Wei Zhengyin frowned again, but immediately confessed to Mrs. Deng - although this old lady was Mrs. Su's biological mother, she seemed to have a much more generous temperament than Mrs. Su, and her daughter-in-law They were scheming in front of her and the juniors who came to see each other, to the point of looking at each other. Mrs. Deng looked helpless, but not scolded or disgusted... At this moment, she sighed and smoothed things over again: "You... This is the first time I have seen my niece since she grew up, so it doesn’t matter if we say a few words for a while. Let’s just let them meet each other as equals.”
The eldest son and the third son of the Su family were all out on errands. The Deng family and the Gu family who had welcomed them in before stood up to apologize on their husband's behalf. Of course, Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying hurriedly expressed that it was okay, and said that they came by themselves. Sudden and disturbing. After such pleasantries, I met with Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Gu. Next, according to her age, was Su Yuli, the eldest daughter of the Su family.
Su Yuli looks a lot like Wei Zhengyin, with a long face, tall stature, handsome eyebrows, and a quiet demeanor; below her is the second lady Su Yuli, but she is the Qian family, with a melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and skin like gelatin , with peach blossoms in her eyes, her appearance is quite natural and romantic, but Su Yuli's words and deeds are dignified and well-behaved, and there is no hint of charm; then there is the fourth young master Su Yuliang, Wei Changying has heard of this eldest son of the Su family before The only remaining legitimate son of the house was indecisive and could not bear the responsibility, which led to the dispute between the first house and the third house.
So in imagination, Su Yuliang should be a timid and timid young man. But now it seems that the 18-year-old Su Yuliang is tall and tall, has pretty features, and speaks and behaves like everyone else. Just looking at his appearance, I don't think that he will be someone who can't be a big deal.
After meeting Su Yuliang, it was Su Yuwu who caught Wei Changying's attention the most this time - if it weren't for this cousin, Wei Changying would have had to wait until Shen Zangfeng was on holiday before he had the chance to come to Su's house.
This young man, who was only twenty days younger than Wei Changying, was tall and taller than his fourth brother Su Yuliang.
Wei Changying smiled and exchanged greetings with him, thinking in his mind: It's strange that my mother would take the initiative to bring up the marriage to the second aunt. There is no shortage of talented and beautiful children in our family, but among the juniors with various styles, the elders like it the most. This type of vitality and vigor is because it is easiest for them to remember their lost youth years.
After Su Yuwu retreated, the last two concubines, the eldest daughter Su Yufei and the second daughter Su Yuyin, came up to pay their respects to their cousin. The sisters were only one year apart. Su Yufei should have curvy eyebrows and fair skin. Well, this was Wei Changying's guess about her true appearance.
Just because this girl looks like Zhang in profile, she should be a beautiful little girl. She is painted with makeup, her hair is full of pearls, and the blood and tears makeup on her face, forcibly covering up the original appearance of her little face. stand up! Sisters are like this, and Fourth Miss Su Yuyin is no exception. Her eyebrows are drawn thick and long by luozidai straight into the temples, her cheeks are like burning, her lips are painted with rouge that is so bright that it is almost dripping, and her forehead is yellow. , painted slanted red, and even made dimples all over his face... If he hadn't seen Shen Zangning's so-called fashionable makeup in the imperial capital at the Shen family, Wei Changying would really be unable to hold himself back from showing off his strange color...
She could still smile as usual, but Shen Zangfeng was stunned. He pointed at his two cousins and asked hesitantly: "Yu Fei, Yu Yin?"
Su Yufei and Su Yuyin both glanced at him and said, "Third cousin is really interesting. Don't you recognize him after not seeing him for a few days?"
Mrs. Zhang's face turned ugly when her two daughters came up. When Shen Zangfeng spoke, Ms. Zhang's face turned red! After listening to what my daughters said, I couldn't sit still anymore. I stood up with a red face and angrily shouted: "You still have the nerve to talk! Why don't you go to the back and wash your face clean before you come out to see others!"
Wei Changying couldn't help being embarrassed and pinched Shen Zangfeng secretly. Just as he was about to speak out, Su Yufei said aggrievedly: "It took me more than an hour to apply the blood and tears makeup this morning... If it hadn't been the first time I saw San Cousin, I don’t want to be burdened with this!”
Su Yuyin also said: "I, Luo Zidai, who painted Gui Ye eyebrows, specially asked my eldest sister for it..."
The more her two daughters argued, the more Ms. Zhang felt her face burning up. How could she be so miserable? After Su Yufei privately taught Shen Zangning the so-called blood and tears makeup that was popular in the imperial capital, the last time Mrs. Su went back to her parents' home to serve Mrs. Deng, taking advantage of Mrs. Deng's improvement, she specifically asked her sister-in-law and sister-in-law about it. The whole story.
I originally thought that Su Yuli from the third bedroom and Su Yuli from the first bedroom were about to leave the court soon. Just when they were interested in makeup, they might have taught it to Shen Zangning who was playing at her maternal home. Who would have thought that in the end, it turned out that it was the two sisters Su Yufei who taught me!
Zhang's mood at that time was simply...
When Mrs. Deng was ill, Su Yufei and Su Yuyin were waiting in front of the bed, so no one dared to decorate it with red powder. Now that Mrs. Deng is well... Mrs. Zhang thought she was scared because she scolded them for Mrs. Su's inquiry last time, right? Who would have thought that by accident, in front of the nephew and the new niece, these two daughters would be painted in such a mess again!
Listening to what they were saying, they thought that dressing up like this was a sign of respect for Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying - these two cold-blooded people didn't even see their cousin, they just smiled in a perfunctory way, and their cousin looked shocked. The look on their faces... How dare they think these contemporary makeup looks good
Seeing that Ms. Zhang was about to resist and teach her daughter a lesson in public, Mrs. Deng loved her younger generation after all, so she hurriedly said: "The little girl's house is full of flowers and flowers to make her happy, so why should it be such a big deal?"
The old lady said this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but listen, and said with a smile: "Mother has always been kind, but these two... these two things really don't live up to expectations. If they don't teach me a lesson, I'm afraid they will become more and more foolhardy in the future. Today, thanks to Feng'er and Chang Ying is not an outsider, otherwise our family’s face will be lost if we see them like this!”
"Nowadays, the most fashionable things in the imperial capital are blood-tears makeup and crying makeup. How come we have lost face as a family?" Su Yufei and Su Yuyin had the backing of their grandmothers and were not very afraid of Mrs. Zhang. They muttered rebuttal after hearing this.
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she glared at her, and the two sisters went to Mrs. Deng's side.
Mrs. Deng advised Mrs. Zhang: "Since it's fashionable outside, it's not just our children who are painted like this. All their little girls are like this anyway. There are so many people dressing up. It's not surprising if they are surprised. What's not to be ashamed of?" He added, "Whose family doesn't have a few naughty children? As they get older, they will naturally become more stable. Their eldest aunt and little aunt also asked me to worry about them all the way."
The old lady dragged her eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law out to talk. Mrs. Zhang couldn't continue to lecture her, so she could only lower her voice and threaten them: "We'll see how I deal with you when we get back to the room!"
The two sisters giggled and ran to the old lady, not taking it seriously... It was obvious that Mrs. Zhang was talking too much at the moment, but she actually loved them very much. They may not be as strict as they are now when they return to their rooms, so they are not afraid.
After such an interruption, Mrs. Deng continued to smooth things over for the juniors. After all, she was recovering from a long illness, so she couldn't help but look tired.
Mrs. Qian hurriedly asked people to bring the ginseng soup. Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying also complained repeatedly about disturbing them. Mrs. Deng smiled and said: "I feel relieved when I see you, a perfect couple, coming here." I'm sick these days, lying on the bed and drinking those bitter juices all day long, I'm really fed up! As long as I'm not asked to lie on the bed, I feel better."
After a few words of comfort to her grandson and grandson's wife, Mrs. Deng felt uncomfortable after all, so she said that Wei Changying was Wei Zhengyin's biological niece. They hadn't seen each other for so many years. She thought that her aunt and nephew had a special relationship to talk about, so she asked them to go first. We talked in the third room, and at noon we went to the upper room to have a banquet.
Wei Zhengyin and Wei Changying thanked the old lady for her thoughtfulness and watched the old lady move into the back hall together. Mrs. Qian pulled the veil, looked at Wei Zhengyin with a half-smile, and said, "The third brother and sister and Chang Ying are standing together, looking at a pair of sisters. It's really enviable!"
After saying this, neither Shen Zangfeng nor Wei Changying heard anything wrong, but Mrs. Zhang pulled her two daughters and said in a moderate tone: "The good things you have done have disgraced me! Go back quickly I'll clean it up and let you look good again!" As he said this, he walked further in three steps at a time.
Seeing the second bedroom like this, Wei Changying knew something was wrong. As expected, Wei Zhengyin was smiling kindly and inviting the couple to the third bedroom. When he heard this, his face almost turned livid, and he turned to look at Qian, coldly. He said coldly: "Sister-in-law seems to like to mention the word 'sisters' these days. In this case, when my husband comes back today, I will tell him that I will send him to the big room to serve him specially." Sister-in-law!”
"Alas!" Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "You are putting someone in trouble. Let's not mention that the sisters are really more beautiful than flowers. The third brother may not be willing to let go, and I am embarrassed to take away his love... Let's just say that The sister-in-law's flower was given to the third brother by His Royal Highness, how can he give it away casually? Please stop saying such angry words, why don't you stop mentioning this matter?"
After saying that, he nodded to Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying with a smile, and then led the second lady Su Yuli, who had a low eyebrow and a submissive attitude, to go there.
Wei Zhengyin glared at her back fiercely, and then said to the juniors who were too embarrassed to say anything, "Let's go back to the third room first."
Su Yuli gave her cousin an apologetic and helpless look, stepped forward to support her mother, and led the way.
When we arrived at the third room, Wei Zhengyin was gently persuaded by his daughter along the way, and he seemed to be smiling, which made everyone sit down and talk about their farewell. Without saying a few words, a pair of pretty maids with very similar looks came in to say hello - the pair were about sixteen or seventeen years old, both had bright eyes and white teeth, and fair and tender faces. They were tied with single snails and wore ordinary clothes. Wearing a green undershirt with narrow sleeves, a moon-white hidden flower skirt, and a colorful silk ribbon tied around the waist, it looks refreshing and playful.
... Seeing Wei Zhengyin's face quickly darken when she saw them, Wei Changying thought, what kind of sisters did Qian talk about, maybe these are the two
The two pretty maids obviously knew that they were not liked by their hostess, so they bowed sincerely. Wei Zhengyin did not call out, but only asked: "Who asked you to come out? Do you understand the rules?"
The taller maid on the left, who seemed to be her elder sister, whispered: "I heard that Madam has guests here, and the maids were wondering... if they could come over and help."
"Is there no one else I can use here?" Wei Zhengyin frowned, raised his head and asked outside the door, "Who is the errand outside?"
A maid in Huang Shang walked in with a look of fear on her face. After bowing, she said, "In reply to Madam, He Xiang and He Xin said that there are guests inside and they need to be attended to. My maid... My maid thought it was Madam's order."
Wei Zhengyin's face was livid and he said, "Will you die if you ask me more?"
Su Yuli and Su Yuwu had to say something to smooth things over because Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying were still there and their mother was so rude. Su Yuli said softly: "Mom, maybe Yan Li was negligent for a moment. These are all trivial matters." I just asked for leave today to accompany my cousin! We should be intimate and talk to each other, why bother with such trivial matters?"
Su Yuwu also said: "What the eldest sister said is that there are only two servants. Now that they are here, just let them serve the tea."
The two maids named He Xiang and He Xin hurriedly said, "My maid obeys the Fifth Young Master's order!"
The two sisters thanked Su Yuwu for the opportunity to serve him. However, Su Yuwu ignored them and turned to Chief Wei: "The third cousin married the third cousin. Now I don’t know whether to call her third cousin sister-in-law or third cousin sister.”
This sentence made both Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying laugh. Wei Changying said with a smile: "Didn't my eldest cousin call me cousin just now? Let's just call each other our own."
Su Yuli smiled and said: "I was thinking about what to call him along the way? But after thinking for a long time, he just called it smoothly."
"We are all family members, and we are all relatives of the same flesh and blood no matter what." The juniors joked about the titles. Although Wei Zhengyin didn't like He Xiang and He Xin being in front of him, he didn't want to continue to spoil the fun at this moment, so he put in the conversation pleasantly, " As long as you both agree, you can shout whatever you want."
"Second Aunt is absolutely right." Wei Changying said with a smile, "I just wasn't used to calling you Third Aunt just now. It's not the other way around. When I was in Fengzhou, my grandmother often talked about Second Aunt to me, and my mother also told me After I arrived in the imperial capital, I wanted to be a filial aunt. After hearing this more, I thought to myself, it’s my second aunt.”
Of course, Wei Zhengyin would rather be called aunt by her biological niece than aunt as her nephew-in-law. Then she smiled and said: "Then you can call me aunt... Feng'er won't care about this with your wife, right?"
Shen Zangfeng said with a smile: "Of course I have to care about it. Unless Third Aunt rewards me with two pieces of water chestnut cake, I will definitely tell Third Aunt in front of my grandmother when I turn around, saying that Third Aunt doesn't love my nephew anymore when she sees Ying'er. "
He was born handsome and handsome, with a sharp temperament. When he suddenly said such a joke, except for Wei Changying, Wei Zhengyin and others were shocked. Only after they were stunned did they realize that they were all laughing and laughing - Wei Zhengyin also had no time. Being bored by the smell of lotus flowers, he laughed out loud, pointed at him and said, "I always thought you were a decent gentleman, but I didn't want you to be so lazy sometimes!" The person handed it to him, "Here, here, I'll give you the whole plate. Why don't you and your grandmother file a lawsuit against your third aunt?"
When Wei Zhengyin smiled, the atmosphere suddenly became lively... Shen Zangfeng stood up exaggeratedly, bowed and thanked him, and said with a smile: "Third aunt is so generous, how can I have the nerve to complain? If third aunt says something else later, I will also No more complaints!"
Everyone laughed: "This plate of water chestnut cake is really worth it!" (To be continued)
