The next day when Guard Chief Ying came to Mrs. Su and told her, she was indeed allowed to visit Wei Shengxian. Mrs. Su also prepared a four-color courtesy copy for Guard Chief Ying to take with her.
So he called Shen Ju, who had specially sent Ge Shun home last time and recognized him, to drive out.
The house that Wei Shengxian built was in the south of the city, not far from the Shen Mansion - this area was full of wealthy families, and it looked like they were rows upon rows of wealthy families. The broad street in front of the door is clean and tidy, but there are few pedestrians. The cars and horses passing by are elegant and unusual.
Seeing this scene, Wei Changying secretly nodded. The second aunt Wei Zhengyin was right. The eldest aunt Wei Shengxian may not have the confidence to speak in front of the clan because she has no children, but the family property is indeed rich, otherwise she would not follow her. When you come back from other places, you can afford to buy properties nearby. Of course, if the property is not rich, the tribe will not force them to have an heir just because they have no children.
The carriage stopped in front of a red door. There were still obvious signs that the house had recently been moved in. The door exuded the faint smell of tung oil, and the stone steps and whitewashed walls were all newly painted and repaired.
Yesterday, the guard chief Ying sent Shen Ju to deliver the message. Now the royal door was wide open. Ge Shun put on a brand new robe and led two neatly dressed nuns to wait in front of the door in person.
Because she was a female guest, she did not get off the car outside the door. Ge Shun and others said hello across the car and asked Shen Ju to drive the carriage directly into the door. After the door was closed behind the carriage, Wei Changying was helped out of the carriage, only to see a group of people waiting by the carriage.
At first, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman, dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, with a lilac ground darkly embroidered with peony flower and leaf pattern on the front, wide sleeves, and a blouse with long myrobalan flowers and brocade pattern on the ground. She was tied with a jade belt and wore a twelve-color skirt. . There are beautiful jade hanging on the skirt, jade bracelets on the wrists, and a majestic Lingyun bun. The bun is dotted with emerald and engraved gold hairpins, a luan bird holds beads in its step and shakes, and collects gemstones and beads, and so on. , extremely gorgeous and luxurious.
The beautiful woman originally had a fragrant handkerchief in her hand. When she saw Wei Changying about to get out of the car, she hurriedly stuffed the handkerchief into her bracelet. She moved forward a few steps and personally reached out to pick her up. She whispered softly: "Good girl, aunt." It’s great to see you!” As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he almost shed tears.
Wei Changying knew that this must be his eldest aunt Wei Shengxian, so he hurriedly saluted and said hello, and said politely: "I have been thinking about my aunt. However, not long after I left the cabinet, everything was not complete, and there was a happy event at home. Only now can I come to see my aunt. I don’t want to have to wait here for my aunt. I really feel ashamed! I hope my aunt will forgive me!”
As she spoke, she looked at her eldest aunt furtively, and calculated that Wei Shengxian must be in her forties. Judging from her appearance, she was very pretty when she was young, but as she got older, she would inevitably become a bit richer. She used to have a melon-shaped face, but now it is much rounder, but her appearance does not look very old. Her skin is still white and tender from a closer look. It can be said that her charm is still there, but the sadness between her eyebrows is hard to get rid of, adding a bit of age.
Behind her were two girls in gorgeous clothes, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was slightly older, wearing a green and green Sihe Ruyi Ruiyun pattern double-breasted jacket with wide sleeves. The collar revealed the tooth-colored myrobalan underneath, and she was tied with a water-colored robe. Skirt, with a brocade silk on her arms, lightly applied makeup, and a emerald patch between her eyebrows; the right side is younger, but she is facing the sky, wearing a snow-green ground with folded branches and peony patterns embroidered on it. There is a strip of honeysuckle pattern embroidered on the edge of the middle coat, and it is tied with a skirt of two colors, red and white.
The two sisters are dressed differently, but their hair is styled in a double-snail bun. The hairpins on their heads are also the same, with emerald hibiscus flowers, pearls, and colorful ribbons. The tassels of the colorful ribbons are left very long, hanging down to their chests. It is very beautiful to be blown by the soft wind and fluttering.
In terms of appearance, the sister on the left is somewhat similar to Wei Chang Ying. She has an oval face, curved eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and her skin is as radiant as snow. She is quite beautiful. The sister on the right is more like her mother Wei Shengxian. , with an oval face, eyebrows that grow into the temples, and big almond eyes, showing liveliness and agility.
The two sisters followed their mother to greet their cousin's well-being. Wei Changying looked at them for a few times and sincerely praised them for being beautiful. The two sisters were busy and humble, and said that their cousin was the real beauty.
Wei Shengxian waited for the three sisters to be polite before introducing the girl on the left: "This is your eldest sister Xiyue." The one on the right was of course his youngest daughter, "This is your little sister Ruxuan."
He added, "You have been looking forward to this cousin at home. This is your eldest uncle's eldest daughter. Her maiden name is Chang Ying. She ranks third among your cousins, but she was raised by your grandmother herself!"
Wei Changying was unnoticeably stunned: because his grandmother, Mrs. Song, was harsh and guarded against the concubine's children, and Wei Shengyi's family had a vague hostility towards the big house and a vague resentment towards Mrs. Song. When Wei Changying thought about it, Wei Shengxian, who was born as a concubine like Wei Shengyi, should be very afraid or jealous of Mrs. Song even if she did not dare to reveal her resentment towards her aunt.
But listening to Wei Shengxian specifically emphasize to his daughters that Wei Changying was raised by Mrs. Song, it seems that this eldest aunt has great... admiration for her grandmother
Sure enough, Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan's eyes lit up when they heard their mother's last words. When they spoke to Wei Changying again, their attitudes were a little more respectful: "Cousin Changying was taught by my grandmother herself? I often heard my mother say that my grandmother was The eldest daughter of Jiangnan Hall has a noble status and strict discipline. She is a role model for women and a role model for ladies! Since my cousin has been taught by my grandmother, I hope she will not hesitate to teach us! "
Guard Chief Ying Yizhi—a role model for women and a role model for ladies? Own
Looking at Wei Shengxian secretly, he saw that this eldest aunt had no intention of ridicule or joking, but a look of deep approval... Wei Changying understood a little bit: "Has this eldest aunt... always followed his aunt, Mrs. Song, as a role model?" He even taught his daughter to make Mrs. Song the highest role model in her boudoir
... This is a bit wrong. How could someone who took Mrs. Song as an example be forced to the point of embarrassment by her husband's clan members
If Wei Shengxian had been imitating Mrs. Song, he should be almost the same as Duanmu Xinmiao!
Wei Changying was thinking in his heart, and showed a kind and humble smile to his two cousins: "Grandma is good, but I want to disappoint the two cousins. Although I have been taught by my grandmother, I am not even my grandmother." Not even 10% of the 10% is learned.”
Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan said in even more awe, "Cousin is really humble!"
"..." Once you get to know me, you will know that I am not humble at all. I am simply telling the truth! Wei Changying sighed in his heart, and listened to Wei Shengxian sternly teaching his two daughters to learn from him, and secretly smiled bitterly: If Song Xiyue and Song Ruxuan really learned from him, they would think about beating their husbands and sons-in-law all the time even before they left the palace. I'm afraid Wei Shengxian should take a leap!
After all, it was a hot day. When my aunt and nephew said these two words beside the car, everyone was sweating. Wei Shengxian hurriedly invited his niece to sit in the cool room.
Maybe it's because this house is currently occupied by Wei Shengxian, mother and daughter, and the male owner is not here. Everything is delicate and delicate, full of feminine atmosphere. Even the ice bowl filled with ice in the cold room is decorated with flowers and luminous pearls embedded in the four corners.
There was a strange fragrance coming out of the ice again - Song Xiyue looked at the words and saw that Wei Changying seemed to be looking around for the source of the fragrance, so he introduced: "This is the ice soul fragrance. Ordinary spices are used to burn them. This ice soul fragrance The fragrance, on the other hand, needs to be placed in ice to gradually come out. "
Song Ruxuan went over to open the ice mirror and asked Wei Changying to take a closer look. As expected, there was a piece of amber-like spice placed in the ice carved like a lotus. It was tooth-colored and matte. It didn't look very eye-catching, but up close it was. I feel the fragrance blowing against my face, which is very refreshing.
Wei Changying was the direct daughter of a clan leader. She thought she was used to seeing riches and treasures, so she couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at them and said, "How can there be such a strange fragrance in the world?"
"When my father was working in Zezhou, a Siamese merchant came to Zezhou to sell it. At that time, no one knew about this incense, but the merchant said that this incense was extremely precious. There was only one box in total, and it cost a lot of gold to sell it. It was on the market. Everyone thought he was crazy! Later, the merchant didn't sell it for a year, and he finally became wiser and started asking around from the wealthy families in Zezhou." Song Ruxuan answered with a smile, "Zezhou City. It is very close to Siam. Although it is considered prosperous in a state because it is a state capital, how can it be compared with that of the imperial capital? Thinking about Chai Mi, how can I spend my life on elegant things? If my mother hadn't been with my father, this box of Bingpoxiang would have been a secret."
Wei Changying praised: "This fragrance is quiet and slightly chilly, like the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms in the snow, but not as cold as the fragrance of plum blossoms; like the subtle fragrance of narcissus on the table, but not like the clearness of narcissus. It is somewhere between Between the two, in the name of ice soul, they are like the soul of ice and snow, which is truly elegant. Especially in the hot summer, ordinary incense must be burned, which will inevitably add to the smoky heat, so only fruits can be used. The fresh fragrance and fragrant flowers have long been worn out, but there is such a unique fragrance. If you put it in the ice mirror, you can enjoy it while enjoying the summer heat. A thousand gold box is really not expensive. "
Wei Shengxian immediately said: "Chang Ying likes it and will share half of it later. It's a pity that the Siamese merchant also sold it from elsewhere. Except for that one merchant, no one else has found this ice soul fragrance. Otherwise, before coming back, he would definitely Want to buy more.”
"Then I'd like to thank my eldest aunt! I'm really curious about such a strange fragrance!" Wei Changying didn't refuse. First of all, he was his aunt. He hadn't seen her for many years. As an aunt, she would give something to her niece, and she would be even more unobtrusive when she asked for it. Secondly, Wei Shengxian was in a good situation and had a fortune, which was nothing to the aunt and nephew.
Sure enough, seeing her agree immediately, Wei Shengxian, mother and daughter all smiled and looked more casual, and they talked about their relationship - mainly Wei Shengxian asked Mrs. Song - which was the first time Wei Changying had seen her. The concubine has such admiration for her aunt, even Wei Zhengyin, the biological daughter, does not care about Mrs. Song as much as Wei Shengxian. Wei Shengxian admires Mrs. Song from the bottom of her heart, and can even be said to worship Mrs. Song!
Originally, Wei Changying heard from his aunt and second aunt that this eldest aunt was quite ostracized by her husband's family, so he was thinking of finding an opportunity to ask her to see if he could help, but Wei Shengxian told her in detail. When asked about Mrs. Song's situation in the past ten years, even her uncle, who was not here at this time, wanted to give a symbolic greeting, but he couldn't get in the conversation, let alone say anything else.
Until Wei Changying repeatedly assured that Mrs. Song had lived a good life over the years and was in particularly good health. Wei Changying almost climbed up the wall when Wei Shengxian pressed her too hard. All the scenes of being powerful and beating her husband with her own hands were told to prove that Mrs. Song was absolutely strong and strong. Fortunately, she was still somewhat clear-headed when she was about to speak out and stopped abruptly, which saved Mrs. Song, the grandmother, from Song Xiyue and Song Xiyue. The two sisters Song Ruxuan have the status of being the highest role model for women in their minds...
It was easy for Wei Shengxian to feel relieved. Even in the cold room, Wei Changying couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat. Wei Shengxian himself felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to see his niece for the first time today and only stare at his aunt to ask questions. She explained: "My mother has always been kind-hearted. My eldest brother is not in good health. My second brother is not my mother's biological child. He was instigated by his ancestors in his early years... and was instigated by some people. He often misunderstood my mother. I think my mother is older." "Well, don't ask her to worry about this. If the second brother still can't think about it, I have to find a time to go to the second brother and talk to him. "
Wei Changying wiped his sweat and said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, eldest aunt, my second uncle is fine. To be honest with eldest aunt, I married from Fengzhou to the imperial capital at the beginning of the year. Because Changfeng was young, it was my second uncle and my third brother. Sending it in person."
... Even though Mrs. Song has been holding it in her hands like a rare treasure and is reluctant to say a single harsh word, Wei Changying is also well aware of her grandmother's methods - she saw with her own eyes that her third brother Wei Changsui was in front of her grandmother. How trembling! Not to mention that before Mrs. Song returned to her hometown with Wei Huan as an official, a young Huang family who stayed in the imperial capital suppressed her second aunt Duanmu for more than ten years, not to mention Mrs. Song herself - such a grandmother, in Wei Sheng It’s just that she is a “kind-hearted” person in the eyes of the fairy. After all, Mrs. Song’s treatment of her own flesh and blood, especially Wei Zhenghong and his son, is so heart-warming that it turns into water. Maybe when Mrs. Song treated Wei Sheng Immortals are also good, right
But Wei Shengxian is actually worried that Mrs. Song will not be able to cure Wei Shengyi? Wei Changying could not imagine how Wei Shengxian was raised under Mrs. Song's knees... (To be continued)
