After hearing this, Wei Changying said, "Do you want me to ask my grandmother?"
"We haven't found out what's going on at Song Duan yet, but you asked your third aunt, what's your answer?" Mrs. Song scolded lightly, because now there are confidants in the room, and she is not afraid to tell the truth to her daughter. , "Since your grandmother hasn't mentioned Gao Chan's marriage in the past few days, then what she said last time about Gao Chan's marriage is already known in her mind. I'm afraid she just said it casually - now your grandmother has no time to worry about you and Changfeng, so where can she think about it? Are you taking care of things in the third room? Not to mention that Song Duan went to bother her before she knew the details. If your third aunt hadn't stopped her quickly, it would be weird if your third uncle didn't get scolded this time. In this case, don't worry about it and turn around. After your third aunt has found out who she is, I will go with her to talk."
Just as Wei Changying was about to agree, Mrs. Song said again, "Take this back. Remember to apply it after bathing at night. Don't wipe it off. Just sleep like this overnight. When you wake up tomorrow, your face will be completely healed."
As she spoke, she took out a celadon bottle from her sleeve, which was only a square inch in size. Seeing that Wei Changying was confused, Grandma Shi explained from the side: "This is snow lotus ointment. Didn't the eldest lady get a sunburn two days ago? Madam urged people It’s made, but it’s a pity that it’s not easy to store, so you have to make it fresh every time you use it, but it’s very moisturizing for your skin, especially sunburned areas, so applying it will definitely help.”
At first, Wei Changying was worried about the sunburn on her face because she was worried about Mrs. Song's scolding, so she deliberately made a show of it. Then she complained that her face hurt. In fact, she was not sunburned to that extent. She didn't expect that Mrs. Song was so busy these days. Still remembering this, my heart felt warm. I took the bottle and put it in my arms. She said sweetly, "No wonder my cousin is always envious of me. It makes a difference to have my biological mother to love me."
Mrs. Song felt relieved and said: "It's natural. You are the only one in my life. If I don't love you, who else can I love?" After saying this, she felt wrong - it was fine to say this to her second son. , this eldest daughter is used to being good at judging people. She has been self-taught since she was a child and relies on favoring to become arrogant. If you say this, don't let her become more arrogant and difficult to control.
However, it was too late to change his mind. Wei Changying said proudly: "I know that my mother hates me the most. She clings to me and clings to me for everything."
Mrs. Song could only sigh and tell her the last thing she wanted to do with her daughter this time: "When I go to have dinner with your father the day after tomorrow, you have to think about how to dress up and all the messy things about you that will make your father worry. Put them all away for me! But if you say one word, your father will be annoyed and watch how I beat you!"
Although Wei Zhenghong was frail and sick, he had a good relationship with Mrs. Song. It's just that Wei Zhenghong's body was too weak. Even if the Wei family tried their best to nurse him back to health and save his life, they couldn't help but make noises. Therefore, after Wei Changying's sister and brother were born, the couple lived in separate hospitals. After all, children are always noisy.
After that, Mrs. Song insisted on letting Mrs. Song take charge of her family out of precaution against her second wife and for the sake of Wei Changfeng's future. In the madam's yard, people were constantly coming in and out asking for instructions, and it was impossible to be quiet. Therefore, after the Wei Changying siblings grew up and lived alone, Madam Song did not share the house with her husband. After all, Madam Song arranged this arrangement for the long-term consideration of her family.
The current situation is that Wei Zhenghong is served by several exquisite servants and has lived in a secluded courtyard of Ruiyu Hall for many years. Occasionally when he is in good health, he can reunite with his wife and daughter, but it is only for a meal and a meal. Say a few words. Because we can't see each other every day like ordinary fathers, for Dafang, this kind of reunion is like a holiday. Mother and son will start thinking about what they will wear and what they will say a few days in advance - in short, they will try to make it as easy as possible. Wei Zhenghong was happy and relieved.
For example, the story about how Wei Chief Ying beat up the naughty little boy and how he was beaten by his future mother-in-law, these are things that I am determined not to reveal even a word about.
Regarding this father who had been ill for a long time and was rarely seen, Wei Changying did not dare to be presumptuous and answered casually. He asked Mrs. Song if she had any other instructions, and then left.
Two days passed by in a flash, and it was time for the big family to reunite.
The Leyiyuan where Wei Zhenghong lives is in the southeast corner. The ground is already warm, but now this season the vegetation is even more lush. Because Wei Zhenghong is afraid of the noise, all the cicadas are glued to the ground. In summer, he steps on the fussy flowers. When Yin walked in, the aroma of medicinal herbs hit her face, and she felt extremely quiet.
Although this rarely seen eldest son of Ruiyu Hall has been ill for many years, and most of the time he lies on a soft couch when he meets his wife and daughter, he does not hide his elegant demeanor. Wei Zhenghong is already forty years old, but he is only thirty years old at most. His eyebrows are like swords, flying sideways into his temples, his eyes are black and bright, and his nose is like a hanging gallbladder. He is extremely handsome. If it weren't for the bloodless thin lips, The complexion is pale due to long years of resting in the house. These two pieces show the frailty of the body. They don't look like patients, but more like elegant celebrities reclining on the soft couch to take a nap in the afternoon.
Elegance, the most important thing of a famous family, was vividly explained in him, which cannot be covered up by his disease.
It's just that no matter how good Wei Zheng Hong's manners are, when he speaks, he clearly shows that he is short of breath. His voice is light and fluttering, and it is even difficult to hear clearly if you are not close: "Chang Ying is very energetic today wearing this pomegranate red blouse."
He helped pick out Wei Changying's outfit today. It consists of a pomegranate-red mandarin embroidered with magnolia blossoms, a water-colored skirt, a crimson waist, a single snail tied around it, and two magnolia flower hairpins on the side. It was originally a hot day, and pomegranate red was the most red and brightest color. This jacket made people feel a little hotter. However, the rich green and light blue in Le Yiyuan, the contrast between red and green, made her originally beautiful. The bright and beautiful appearance is so dazzling that it is almost impossible to look directly at her.
Hearing his father's praise, Chief Wei Ying smiled brightly and said, "I knew my father would definitely say yes. My mother asked me to change to another lotus-colored one before! How can the lotus-colored one be as bright as pomegranate red?" After saying that, Mrs. Chao Song said Make a face.
Wei Zhenghong smiled softly, his smile was indescribably elegant, and he said slowly: "It doesn't matter if it's lotus color, my son was born well, and he looks good no matter what he wears."
Although it was a very common thing used by parents who dote on their children to coax their daughters, from what he said, it was unreasonable and convincing. Despite being ill for a long time, he could still maintain such grace and grace. It is no wonder that Mrs. Song was so worried about her son that she could not let go or accept it.
Just look at Wei Zhenghong, who was born with a long illness, and still managed to develop such a romantic charm. If he is a healthy person, what more worries does Wei Huan have
Mrs. Song glared at her daughter and spat: "Stop spoiling her all the time. She has become more and more unruly now. I can't control her anymore."
"Why can't mother control me?" Wei Changying said flatteringly, "I obey mother the most!"
"It's not easy for your mother to take care of you, so don't make her worry too much." Wei Zhenghong warned softly, still smiling.
Wei Changying stuck out his tongue and said yes. Then Wei Zhenghong turned to Wei Changfeng and said warmly: "How are your homework these days?"
"My husband and grandfather both said that the child is quite attentive." Wei Changfeng said respectfully and humbly. He is a typical son of a famous family. He has attached great importance to manners and conversation at a young age. Even when facing his biological father, he also strives to behave elegantly. Calm, but because of his age, he looks a bit green, far less charming and charming than Wei Zhenghong who has penetrated into his bones, and he always seems a bit reserved when compared to his elder sister.
It's just that Wei Zhenghong has different requirements for his children. He has only one son. Although he doesn't feel like Mrs. Song that everything about Ruiyutang and Wei Huan should belong to Wei Changfeng, he still hopes that his only son can support him. The family of his own branch. Therefore, he was very satisfied with Wei Changfeng's understanding and said warmly: "His quality is well-known in the sea. It is your blessing to be his disciple. Although you are praised, you still cannot slack off."
Wei Changfeng hurriedly accepted it with his hands: "My child obeys your order."
Mrs. Song said angrily: "Changfeng's studies are going well, don't worry about it at all." Because she knew that Wei Zhenghong's energy was limited, and seeing that he had already asked his children, she changed the subject and said, "How have you been these days? But? Do you feel better?"
A faint smile appeared on Wei Zhenghong's pale face. There was unconcealable exhaustion and helplessness in the smile, but he said: "It's better."
His illness was brought in from the womb, and he was born with deficiencies that were beyond human control. At that time, Wei Huan and Mrs. Song asked famous doctors from home and abroad to stay with Wei's family for two years before he was able to recover slightly. However, it was only a slight improvement. After having a couple of children, she hangs herself with a medicine stone.
Even so, he would suffer from a minor illness from time to time. Despite his elegant and calm demeanor, in fact, he would suffer a lot every three days. It was common for him to feel uncomfortable and toss and turn all night. Not even the famous doctor who had been invited could do anything about this. He had already tried his best to keep Wei Zhenghong alive until now.
Wei Zhenghong knew his body very well, and he had been dragging his feet day by day like this all his life. It's just that although living is a suffering for him, he is willing to live such a painful but gratifying life for the sake of the parents above him, the children below him, and the cousin who has been married for decades to support the family regardless of his poor health.
But Wei Zhenghong has become accustomed to such pain, and Mrs. Song has been worried about him. In order not to annoy his wife, he does not want to talk more about his body at the moment, and changes the topic: "Last time, Zhang Ying didn't mention Let’s have lotus seed cake. Lu Quan went to the garden early this morning to pick lotus seeds and come back. You can all try them later.”
His purpose of changing the topic was very obvious. Mrs. Song couldn't help but darken when she heard what he meant. It’s not that she doesn’t know that her husband’s health is as good as it is now, but she still doesn’t give up. She always hopes that one day she will find another cure, or God will show mercy and Wei Zhenghong will recover all of a sudden, and the couple will be together. Support the eldest daughter and the youngest son so that they can rely on each other.
The couple was feeling sad, but thanks to Wei Changying's liveliness, he leaned on his father's couch with a smile and said: "Lotus seed cake? Father doesn't know, but the little maid next to me was playing in the garden two days ago and picked wild water chestnuts and went back. , I ate a few, and I thought they had a unique flavor. Why don’t you let Lu Quan make another water chestnut cake next time?”
Mrs. Song immediately came over with a sharp look: "Your father specially remembered the food you mentioned casually, and you became faster!"
"It's just a pastry. Since my son has spoken, how can he not respond?" Wei Zhenghong smiled gently and raised his hand to order the servant not far away, "Write it down and let Lu Quan make it next time."
Lu Quan is the person in charge of Wei Zhenghong's diet in Leyi Hospital. Speaking of it, he was taught by the famous doctor back then. He is good at medicated diet, but his ordinary food is also unique, even Wei Changying and Wei who are quite picky about diet. Changfeng also admired his craftsmanship.
... Since it was about eating, Wei Zhenghong simply ordered the meal to be served. The lotus seed cake mentioned by Wei Changying last time was brought out, along with poria cake, cloud bean rolls and lychee porridge.
Wei Changying's eyes lit up when he saw the cute lotus seed cake with a light green color and a layer of white sugar. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked one up. He put it in front of Wei Zhenghong first. At the same time, Wei Changfeng also rolled up his sleeves to pay tribute to Mrs. Song. After waiting for Wei Zheng Hong to let them use it for themselves with a smile, the two siblings started eating happily.
Wei Zhenghong had been ill for a long time and drank medicine three times a day, which naturally made his appetite worse. Mrs. Song was worried about her husband and was not very interested in cakes, so they both ate a little casually. However, when Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng were young and had good appetites, they ate very deliciously. The couple looked at their children's healthy and lively appearance, and the worry they had felt about Wei Zhenghong's health disappeared unconsciously. many.
Wei Changying finished one and wanted to take another. Mrs. Song hurriedly said: "Eat less. This thing is made of glutinous rice. If you eat too much, it may be stored!"
Hearing this, Wei Changying could only look at the lotus seed cake reluctantly, took a piece of Poria cake, took a bite absently, and threw it back to the plate in front of her. Mrs. Song was about to lecture her daughter about waste again, but now the dishes from outside came out one after another. , because of Wei Zhenghong, most of the food was medicinal, and it was a family banquet, so only two plates of cold dishes were used.
After the fresh bamboo shoots mixed with celery and steamed chrysanthemum, it was just Cordyceps and old duck. Mrs. Song hurriedly rolled up her sleeves to serve the soup for her husband. She did not pay attention to what she had said before, and let Wei Changying just pass by... (To be continued )
