Wei Changying was very popular with his grandparents, and he came to greet him every day. He had been playing in the courtyard since he was a child, and he was the most familiar to him. The courtyard wall she chose happened to be where a magnolia tree was. It was already past the blooming season, but the tall magnolia branches were lush and leafy. The leaves stretched happily in the scorching sun and seemed to be dripping at any time. grease. The lush crown of the tree is like a canopy, providing shade under the tree.
After she landed, she stepped lightly on the soft grass and hid behind the tree. She looked around - the magnolia tree was planted against the wall, and there was a cluster of winter jasmine flowers outside. Of course, the flowers had faded now, and the magnolia tree The trees were lush and fluffy, blocking the scene under the trees.
Therefore, no one has ever come to the place where she hides. If she is careful, she will not be discovered by people in the yard.
It's not easy just to get close to the house... Wei Changying quickly calculated the flowers and trees that could be used nearby. Unexpectedly, at this time, outside the winter jasmine bushes, a somewhat stiff greeting came from far away: "Master, please go and ask for Doctor Ji." Come?"
Huh
Because he was worried that his grandmother would also anger his grandfather and suffer a loss, Wei Changying, who wanted to stay and find out what happened, suddenly felt...
She moved her steps and quickly ran to the flowers to take a look outside - sure enough, Wei Huan was covering his forehead with one hand and supporting his lower back with the other. He was disheveled, embarrassed, and even a little shaky as he walked out of the door. As soon as he went out, there was news immediately behind him. Mrs. Song shouted angrily: "Why don't you call a doctor! Just rub a box of ointment on a little bruise and it will be healed?!"
He scolded again, "I suffered a minor injury, but I still want to call a doctor! My grandson is being planned for a big event in her life, but she actually wants to make peace with it! Damn! I really think I'm dead! I can't control you?! You still want to call a doctor? ! I tell you, if you don’t do what I tell you, you won’t even be able to take a sip of medicine even if you’re in pain!”
One of the only six Shangzhu Kingdoms in the Wei Dynasty, today's emperor enthroned Chang Shanggong and the head of the Wei family - Wei Huan and Wei Zhongyi, who are extremely majestic in the hearts of the Wei family and dare not get close to easily, did not even dare to say a word. The obedient boy stood in the corridor and listened.
Through the flower trees, Wei Changying couldn't see his grandfather's expression, but he could also imagine Wei Huan's frustration and helplessness.
"This... this is the way of a charioteer!" The young girl Wei Changying's sympathy for her grandfather turned into admiration and envy for her grandmother in less than an instant. She was afraid that she would be discovered if she was too excited, so she hurriedly hid in a corner. Biting his white fist, he stifled his snickering, "I'm just saying, my husband is disobedient, what's the use of being virtuous? If people don't scold you for being troublesome, they just ignore you, which makes you look wordy. ! It has always been said that good and sensible people are born from beatings. Didn’t the ancients say that a filial son emerges from a stick? If a son can be beaten well, why can’t a husband be beaten? Seeing how majestic my grandmother is now, my grandfather dare not speak loudly even when he is beaten and scolded. Let me just say this... This is the real mistress!"
Wei Changying somewhat understood why his grandmother was not as firmly opposed to his martial arts practice as his mother.
"It's just that my grandfather is a scholar and has no power to tie a chicken, but it's easy for my grandmother to beat him." After Wei Changying's heart surged, he calmed down and became worried again, "But Shen Zangfeng has heard about his martial arts skills since he was a child. He's so good, but I don't know if I can beat him to the level he is today."
She held her chin in her hands and thought for a long time before deciding, "It doesn't matter so much. I heard Uncle Jiang tell so many stories that he is no match for him in a head-to-head confrontation, and there are hidden tricks behind his back - I don't believe that I can't beat him!"
Wei Changying pinched his fingers, showing his evil spirit, and set the goal of training his husband-in-law in the future by referring to Wei Huan's obedience under the beating and scolding of Mrs. Song. Then he tiptoed out of the yard and went to look for Jiang Zheng and continued his hard work.
In the house, she yelled at Wei Huan to go to the study to take care of his injuries. Mrs. Song regained her calm look, called Chen Ruping and others in, and ordered: "Pack everything away."
There was a lot of noise just now, and now the room is also in chaos. Five or six pieces of fine porcelain, large and small, were thrown away, and the fragments were scattered all over the floor. The next red sandalwood couch was tilted. Chen Ruping raised his eyelids and compared the position where Wei Huan was injured when he went out. He knew that Mrs. Song might have been anxious and pushed Wei Huan into the couch. This wooden couch is extremely heavy. Even a healthy servant cannot move it. This shows how hard Wei Huan was hit by the impact.
However, Mrs. Song was still angry, and there was no trace of distress on her face. She ordered her servants, stood up with Chen Ruping's extended hand, and entered the inner room.
Chen Ruping helped Mrs. Song to sit on the couch by the window in the inner room, turned around and closed the door, and whispered: "The master is old, Mrs. should be gentler next time?"
"You don't know." Chen Ruping is the dowry of the old lady. She has served her from a young maid to the present. It has been ups and downs for decades. On the scene, she abides by the rules and does not dare to go beyond half a step. In private, she is very casual. Mrs. Song did not get angry after listening to her advice, but shook her head, "Zheng Hong is sick and incompetent in his prime. Changfeng is still young in his generation. Now Ruiyu Hall can only let Wei Sheng in the imperial capital." Yi's pillar is holding up the scene, so I can't touch that pillar until Chang Feng's wings are full! Wei Shengyi knows this very well! If Zheng Hong is good enough, would he dare to plot against me? If you don’t show an attitude of not giving up, how can you scare people into staying in the second room?”
Chen Ruping said softly: "The Fifth Young Master has tied up his hair now. In the new year, he can already study and learn from the boss and the third master in the Yamen to be directors. After several years of experience, he can get a serious and practical position. These days are very difficult. It's just a matter of time, how long can Wei Shengyi be confident? It's really not worth it for the old lady to be so angry with the clan leader because of him."
Mrs. Song sighed and said: "How can it be so simple? Zhong Yi can't leave Fengzhou. In his prime, he is a person who can't stand up to the situation. You can't rest assured if you let him leave Fengzhou alone, let alone expect him to be able to survive." Take care of your nephew. Wei Shengyi cannot be trusted, so how can I trust Changfeng to go to the imperial capital after he has gained some ability to protect himself?"
"My aunt is also in the imperial capital now!" Chen Ruping turned over the five-petal sunflower porcelain secret color bowl with gold foil that was placed on the lacquer plate. He picked up the silver pot and poured a bowl of ebony drink. He skillfully opened the cabinet and took out last year's cupboard. Using a silver spoon, he scooped a few plums pickled in the summer into the black plum drink, added a spoonful of honey, placed his hands in front of Mrs. Song, and said, "My aunt and uncle are here, and they will pay attention to the fifth young master. Besides, isn’t the eldest lady going to marry in the imperial capital next year?”
The aunt she was talking about was Mrs. Song's biological daughter Wei Zhengyin.
Mrs. Song took a sip of the black plum drink and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Yin and Chang Ying are women after all, how can they take care of them too much? Zheng Hong is such a legitimate son, and now Changfeng is fifteen, Zheng Hong My health still hasn't improved much...I'm afraid that Dafang's children are destined to be siblings Chang Ying and Chang Feng. How can I dare to risk Chang Feng?"
"Is the old lady going to beat the second master?" Chen Ruping pondered, "Are you really going to call the second and third masters back?"
"Of course." Mrs. Song picked up the porcelain bowl, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said cheerfully, "If Chang Wan hadn't left the court, there would only be two legitimate sons in the second room. How many legitimate children there are, all of them will come back to me, my dear son. Stay in Fengzhou! My Chang Ying and Chang Feng are fine, and I won’t care about any of the juniors. If Chang Ying and Chang Feng are not good, just wait for me to have no children or grandchildren!"
As he spoke, he slapped the porcelain bowl heavily on the small begonia-style incense table. The splashed black plum drink immediately wet the sleeves of the old lady. Chen Ruping hurriedly came forward, wiped the old lady with a handkerchief, and spoke softly. He persuaded: "The old lady wants to recall the second and third young masters. Isn't that just a matter of words? My direct grandmother wants her grandson to serve her. It's to give the second wife dignity! What do the second and third young masters want when they come back to Fengzhou? This is just a word from the old lady. How can the old lady be angry about just a second bedroom? The old lady is too flattering."
Mrs. Song raised her hand to let her wipe it. She did not answer the question and asked, "It seems like someone came to the yard just now. Is it Chang Ying or Chang Feng?"
Except for these two pampered grandsons, no one else dared to stay in the situation like that just now.
Chen Ruping was a little embarrassed and said: "It's the eldest lady. It seems that she wants to see the old lady for something. The maid stopped her, but the eldest lady refused to leave. The maid was afraid that the sound would be too loud to come in - I didn't want the old lady to be there. Noticed."
Mrs. Song said: "I didn't hear it, but it was a hot day and a window in the hall was ajar. I seemed to see the hairpin light flashing twice. I thought you were outside at that time, so the mother-in-law should be there." No one will wander around, either the visitor or the maid next to the visitor, so I asked. "
Then he muttered, "This kid, if you have something you can't say earlier or later, you're here now!"
Although Wei Changying did not crash into the house, Mrs. Song was still a little embarrassed knowing that her granddaughter was witnessing her display of prowess.
Chen Ruping knew that although the old lady was complaining in her tone, she was not really angry with her granddaughter, so she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the eldest lady didn't mean to stay down at first, but later she refused to leave, but she heard some noises. , I was afraid that the old lady would suffer! The maid persuaded her to leave."
When Mrs. Song heard this, she laughed and said, "Why should I suffer? It should be her heartless grandfather who suffers!"
"The eldest lady doesn't know this. The old lady has always been kind, but the valve master shows his majesty. It's no wonder that the eldest lady is worried about the old lady - it can be seen that the eldest lady is more towards the old lady." Chen Ruping pursed her lips and smiled.
Mrs. Song sighed: "She is my direct granddaughter, how can she not care for me? It's a pity that I only have one granddaughter. Seeing her grow up, I can't cherish her enough like a flower, but I have to marry her." She’s married. And she’s still married to the imperial capital. I don’t know if I’ll see her again in this life.”
Listening to the melancholy and worry in her tone, Chen Ruping hurriedly said: "What the old lady said, the old lady is in good health now, and she will cultivate her great-grandson to grow up in the future. What do I want to see the eldest lady do again? Difficult? Although the imperial capital is not close to Fengzhou, the eldest lady has won over her husband, so there is no chance of coming back to visit the old lady. "
Then he said, "Besides, the old lady misses the eldest lady and sends a letter to the Shen family. Can Mrs. Su not give the old lady face?"
Mrs. Song muttered slightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal whether I can see this child after he leaves the cabinet. In the final analysis, she will... live a good life in the future, so I feel relieved."
"The eldest lady has a pure heart and has always been well-behaved and smart. Otherwise, how could the old lady think that the eldest lady is the favorite? With the old lady's eyesight, are you afraid that the elders of the Shen family won't like her?" Chen Ru Ping said with relief, "Besides, the eldest lady's idea may not be wrong. The Shen family master is the person who was cultivated by Mingpeitang to be the future lord of the clan. He is expected to learn about culture, Taoism and martial arts. However, the Shen family has been stationed in Xiliang County for generations. Wu is the foundation, so he may not like those demure and delicate ladies who are cultivated according to the role model of the boudoir. But he is more interested in our eldest lady who is both strong and gentle, and has a heroic appearance? I was at a disadvantage because I was worried about not being able to go together with Mr. Shen, so I said something angry about Mr. Shen. If the couple is in love and the couple is harmonious, how can we, the eldest lady, do it? "
The voice lowered again, "My maid, let me say something transcendent. Although the old lady made some mistakes today, the master is not angry with the old lady - if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, he will always be happy to be an enemy and enjoy it. !”
"That's all I hope." Although Mrs. Song is shrewd, when it comes to the life-long affairs of her only granddaughter, she is also concerned about the chaos and dare not be sure. She just sighed, "Chang Ying will not leave the cabinet until next year, so let's get down to business first. It's done - go and write a letter for me to read, saying that I have not been in good health recently, and I especially miss my two grandchildren, Changyun and Changsui, from the imperial capital. I ask them to come back immediately with their wives and children to serve in front of the bed. Remember to use Zhong. In the name of Yi!”
Chen Ruping smiled slightly: "My servant will go right now."
- The second bedroom is really confused this time. The old lady is still here and she dares to do anything to the first bedroom.
I don’t know if Wei Shengyi has been standing alone in the imperial capital for many years, and gradually forgot the old lady’s methods, and how he prayed from the bottom of his heart for four days and nights when he knelt for a long time, and Wei Huan helped him. Intercede to get through? (To be continued)
