Song Zaishui slapped her with a ball fan: "Go and go! I can't take care of my own sister-in-law? You need to come... Really! If you go to beat her, isn't that a slap in my face? I've already been talked about enough outside. It's pitiful. I heard the young lady from the Deng family, called Wanwan, tell me quietly that now, whenever anyone mentions me, nine out of ten people in the imperial capital will cry tears of bitterness for me! Come on, why are you here to join in the fun?"
He added, "She has squeezed me so much that I can't take over, but my eldest sister-in-law can't trust her. No, she's been pointing fingers everywhere in the past two days, but few people are willing to pay attention to her. On the contrary, a concubine of the second brother is the former eldest sister. One of the good girls bought by my sister-in-law accidentally fell into the water in the garden. Yesterday she cried to her second brother because Duanmu wanted to eat water chestnuts and forced her to pick them - the season had not yet come. When the water chestnuts came out, Duanmu Wuse forced her to pick them, so she had no choice but to paddle the wooden basin into the pond, but it unexpectedly capsized. Fortunately, the concubine knew how to swim before she got ashore by herself. Yesterday, she kept shouting Duanmu Wuse wanted to kill her..."
Wei Changying nodded and said, "I heard my cousin say that Duanmu is colorless, and I think it was her who did it."
"Who has the patience to take care of this mess?" Song Zai Shui blew on the round fan, lowered his long eyelashes, and said casually, "Duanmu Wuse said I was not suitable for a housekeeper before, so I returned the favor and said to my second brother, second sister-in-law She couldn't manage the backyard because she was in charge of the house, so she just asked her to worry about it, so as not to seriously endanger anyone's life. Although she was just a concubine, it was her father's intention to protect her second brother, and it was her sister-in-law who let Duanmu do it herself. Wu Se is not allowed to leave the courtyard, and she is not allowed to interfere in anything. Anyway, now everyone in the house has to settle accounts with her... She went out to greet you today, just thinking that if she could talk with you, she would wait until her second brother came back in the afternoon. , In front of you, the second brother is too embarrassed to reprimand her, so he just blurs out what the second brother said to her... "
"Cousin, why don't you want her to follow you?" Wei Zhangying said, "It's just like what my cousin said. Why can't there be a good person in the Duanmu family?"
Hearing what she said, Song Zaishui suddenly became energetic, sat upright, and said proudly: "Have you suffered a loss in the hands of Duanmu Yanyu? Tell your cousin, I will give you an idea! Duanmu Wuse is so stupid that I am embarrassed. How to deal with her? Let me hear how your second sister-in-law compares to her cousin? "
"..." He glanced at the energetic and fighting Song Zaishui speechlessly, and Wei Zhang Ying sighed, "I think although my cousin is not as pitiful as the rumors say, she is not very happy at all. Why do I watch my cousin show up now?" My life is better than before I left the cabinet. Are you almost like my Aunt He, waiting for the right and wrong to come out and take action
Song Zaishui sighed: "There is nothing I can do. You see, my life in the house is very comfortable now, but it is inconvenient to go out often! The last time you came over, I tried my best to wear a curtain hat and go out. At a glance…”
When she said this, Wei Changying suddenly reacted and asked cautiously: "Cousin, you haven't taken off your hat until now. How are you injured?"
"Look at me!" Song Zaishui clapped his hands and said, "I put it on when I left the yard. When I came back, I forgot to take it off before I entered the house." She took off her curtain generously... Guard Chief Ying Ti took a worried look and saw a two-inch pink scar on Song Zaishui's left forehead, winding like a snake and going straight into his temple.
Wei Changying changed his expression slightly and said: "Why is it so dangerous? If the injury is even two or three points, it will hit the eye!"
Song Zaishui smiled and said, "Didn't you get it?"
Seeing that she was not taking it seriously, Wei Changying sighed, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the wound, and said, "This wound... now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Song Zaishui lowered his head to let her take a closer look, and whispered with a hint of pride, "Even if it hurts, it's worth it, isn't it?"
"I don't think it's worth it." Wei Changying bit her lip. She originally had no opinion of the prince of this dynasty. Because of Song Zaishui, even though she hadn't met his highness yet, she already disliked him. She felt that Song Zaishui wanted to refuse him. The cost of marrying a prince and damaging your appearance is too high.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changying compared the wound and suggested, "The shape of this wound can be tattooed with roses or soaring flowers, which can be used as a cover up."
"Then why bother?" Song Zaishui sneered, "Enduring the pain of being pricked with needles just to get a compliment? Why is this necessary? I will never marry into a well-matched family in the future. The person who marries me will be more or less They are interested in my status and dowry. In that case, what does it matter if I am born better or worse?"
Wei Changying felt sad when he heard this, and said: "That's not necessarily true. Cousin, you were born well, and the injury here is not ugly. Besides, I am your legitimate daughter, so I must have carefully planned for you."
"You don't know, the Holy One now thinks that I am unlucky. Whose young master do you think is willing to marry an unlucky person?" Song Zaishui used a round fan to blow the wind for the two of them, and said disapprovingly, "So when I said I wanted to go back to Jiangnan, it was not all out of anger. , After all, my current embarrassing status in the imperial capital is very restrictive, so I might as well go back to Jiangnan and be more comfortable. Besides, I have been in Jiangnan for many years and am more accustomed to the customs there. "
As she spoke, she threw a fan at Wei Changying's shoulder and said angrily, "If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have wanted to leave a few days ago. It's winter here in the imperial capital!" She shook her head and sighed, "It's so cold. personal!"
Wei Changying was surprised and didn't believe it, and said: "Isn't there an earth dragon?"
"Isn't it boring to stay in the house all day?" Song Zaishui said, "It's not a joke to not dress up like a snowball when you go out."
Mentioning Snow Qiu, Wei Changying couldn't help but laugh and said: "I don't know if you have raised eight tanks of fish and ten parrots, why do you want to raise this lion cat? You just raised it, why don't you take it seriously? It? You people here are not careful, but I see that the lion cat is very familiar with the fish and the parrot. "
Song Zaishui said bitterly: "Actually, there were originally twenty parrots. Two of them died. After being eaten by it several times, there were only ten left... From then on, there were only nine."
He added, "I was also deceived by it. I thought it was cute when I saw its snow-white and fat appearance, so I kept it. At first, I was afraid that it would steal its mouth, so I took it to the fish tank and parrot stand and saw that it was obedient. It lay on my arm and didn't move. I thought it knew the rules! I didn't miss it either, so why does it like to talk?"
"A lion cat is not a human being, so how can it know the rules?" Wei Changying laughed dumbly and said, "But this cat is really well-behaved, and it has won your trust by pretending to be well-behaved and sensible. When you mature it, you won't want to chase it away. Don’t start talking until you’re gone.”
"Isn't it?" Song Zaishui said bitterly, "So if you like something, just take it, so as not to leave it here and let it ruin it!"
The guard chief Yingzhang said angrily: "Okay! I still think that you love me so much that you really want to give me fish and parrots! You can't control Snowball. Do you want to find a place for them to take refuge?"
Song Zaishui woke up and realized that he had accidentally told the truth. He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Good cousin, I'm just joking with you! Of course I love you!"
After fighting for a while, Song Zaishui said seriously: "I am in my own home anyway. My father and brother love me. I have two sisters-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law is a sensible person. Although the second sister-in-law is confused, she is easy to deal with. As for you, you have been here for a month. "How are you, Sister-in-law Weng? If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will give you some advice."
"You make it sound like I'm incompetent!" Wei Changying imitated her and said, "I met my father-in-law once on the day we served tea, but we haven't seen each other since. As for my mother-in-law, although she respects the rules , but treat me well. I just came back from Su's house yesterday and told her that I wanted to see you, and she agreed immediately. Sister-in-law... this morning, my mother-in-law said that she would give me a few days to visit relatives and friends. The next step is to take care of the house, so the two sisters-in-law are naturally not happy, especially the eldest sister-in-law, she is the eldest daughter-in-law!"
Song Zaishui hummed: "The eldest daughter-in-law! So what? Aren't the two previous crown princes in this dynasty more noble than the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family? What happened? One committed suicide and the other became a widow! Those two Who should I tell you about your grievance? Let me tell you, since it was your mother-in-law who made the decision, and your husband-in-law needs to be taken seriously by the Shen family, you should not be so humble and take matters into your own hands to prevent your mother-in-law. Disappointed, I will find you two capable helpers in the backyard, and it will be too late to cry."
Wei Changying lightly hit her and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Am I such a confused person?"
"What tricks did your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law use? Tell me and I will discuss it with you in detail." Song Zaishui tried his best to recommend himself, "I have learned these from your grandmother since I was a child, and I will definitely help you eliminate future troubles!"
"Cousin, you..." Wei Changying said speechlessly, "You are really bored!" He shook his head and said, "Now that I have just come here, what else can they do besides a few sour words? My mother-in-law values her husband because of her. I am the only sister-in-law in the family now. Although I am a bit lively and willful, I am not bad at all. I really don’t have anything to worry about now.”
At this point, he pondered, "Ah, there is one thing, I don't know what it means?"
Song Zaishui perked up: "Say quickly! What is it?"
She was gearing up, "Let me hear who dares to bully my cousin!"
"What!" Wei Chief Ying rolled his eyes at her and said, "The day Yaoye came to the palace to thank me, he brought back a piece of news. When he was saying thank you, he met Concubine Deng, and Concubine Deng said she wanted to see me. It’s Princess Linchuan’s birthday in a few days, let me come into the palace! What do you mean?”
Song Zaishui said in surprise: "Concubine Deng? Princess Linchuan's biological mother, Mao Bi, has long since passed away. This princess has been raised by the Queen. You should have gone to the palace to congratulate her on her birthday. But it's strange that Concubine Deng specially warned her like this." ”
"Isn't it?" Wei Changying said suspiciously, "Let's talk about what happened before..." It was hard to say clearly that Wei, Song, and Deng jointly regretted their marriage, so they just kept it vague, "Then the imperial concubine should also greet you, not me!"
"You are really stupid." Song Zaishui hit her and said funny, "The noble concubine greeted me? The royal family took back the gold-inlaid jade Ruyi, wasn't it because of the noble concubine's words?"
Chief Wei Ying groaned and said, "I almost forgot." Secretly, Concubine Deng and Song Zaishui each took what they needed, and they were considered allies for once. On the surface, the imperial concubine was fighting with the queen, trying to prevent Song Zaishui from marrying into the royal family... It was obvious that the Song family had a grudge against the imperial concubine! If Concubine Deng was still paying attention to Song Zaishui now, everyone would think that Concubine Deng wanted to kill Song Zaishui!
He asked, "Tell me, cousin, what does this mean?"
Song Zaishui thought for a while and said, "Could it be related to Deng Zongqi and Deng Wanwan's brothers and sisters?" (To be continued)
