After dinner, Wei Zhenghong was in good spirits, so he left his wife and daughter to talk. Wei Changying was mostly talking, and Mrs. Song occasionally said a few words of anger. Wei Changfeng listened silently, and from time to time he secretly speculated on his father's thoughts. Even though Wei Zhenghong had to suffer from illness all the time and was physically weak, his manners and manners were enough to make most of the noble family members who claimed to be romantic be inferior to him.
You must know that Mrs. Song was also the direct daughter of the clan whom the Jiangnan Song family regarded as the apple of her eye. Although Song and Wei gave priority to the children of the same age in each other's clan when marrying, as the daughter of the current Jiangnan Song family leader, if she herself is not willing, the Song family and the Wei family I won't force her. Mrs. Song's strong temperament, knowing that marrying Wei Zhenghong would be difficult, but still willingly leaving the cabinet, has a lot to do with Wei Zhenghong's demeanor - if she didn't really love Wei Zhenghong, Mrs. Song would not be the person who would wrong her.
With his father like this, Wei Changfeng didn't say anything, but in his heart he was very eager to learn from his father's moral integrity. Therefore, every time they met, Wei Changfeng always ignored him and focused on studying.
But Wei Changying, who was focused on building a future with force, obviously didn't have this intention. She chattered around Wei Zhenghong, her eyebrows fluttering, and she was extremely lively. Under the green shade, a man in a lake-blue brocade robe listened with a smile and a happy expression. He only frowned slightly when his daughter didn't pay attention, suppressing the pain. After half an hour, the boy came up to remind him, Wei Zheng Hong had to rest, so Mrs. Song reluctantly got up.
After leaving Le Yiyuan, Mrs. Song looked back melancholy, and then said listlessly to her children: "Go back, everyone, and don't slack off on your homework, lest your father worry about it, you know?"
The two siblings agreed, and Mrs. Song whispered again: "Chang Ying did a good job today. Your father likes to see you in such high spirits. Chang Feng, on the other hand, you are too silent. This will Make your father think that you are not close to him, so you have to change it next time!”
Wei Changying wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I see that Changfeng keeps looking at his father. He seems to have something to say to his father?"
"No." Although Wei Changfeng was outdone by his younger sister who had an unruly and unruly temperament, he also loved to take care of the children of the famous family. After all, he was still young. At this moment, when his mother scolded him and his sister ran away, he felt embarrassed. His face turned red, Fang Cun was slightly confused, and he said, "I just see that my father is in a good mood today."
Although Wei Zhenghong is sick, he is very strong at heart. He doesn't like to express his pain to others, especially in front of his children. He only frowns slightly when he feels extremely uncomfortable. He always smiles when talking to his children... Mrs. Song felt sad and forced a smile: "He will always be happy to see you."
Because she was worried about Wei Zhenghong, Mrs. Song didn't want to say anything to her children. She gave a few casual instructions, and mother and son said goodbye and went back to their respective places.
When Wei Changying returned to the Shuangting Courtyard, He took a copy of the message and said, "The message from Duke Jingping's Mansion has been sent."
"Second sister's birthday?" Wei Changying took it and looked at it. When he saw that it was the same as in previous years, he put it down and said, "Just compare it to last year's backup gift."
Mrs. He knew that she had always disliked Wei Changxian's bullying of the third house, and thought it was a loss of face for Wei Huan, so the gifts she gave in the past two years were very mediocre, so she reminded: "It is said that the Liu family is going to give The second young lady has adopted an heir, should we add a little more this time?"
"Adopted heir?" Wei Changying was stunned for a moment, then said, "It has been two years since Liu Jizhao passed away, why are you mentioning it now?"
Although most of the widowed young women in the folk nowadays will marry another person to make a living, famous families value courtesy. People like Wei Changxian became a widow within a few years of leaving the court. Even if they return to their parents' family, they basically stay like this for the rest of their lives. . Wei Changxian is the direct daughter of the Wei family. Her husband Liu Jizhao has a high status in the Liu family and died for the country. Naturally, he cannot be allowed to die. Earlier, when Wei Changxian was newly widowed, Wei Huan was Zhi had a private discussion about why the Liu family didn't give Liu Ji a step-heir
After all, with a child to raise, Wei Changxian can have something to look forward to. Otherwise, the young widow really doesn’t know what to do all day long. But Wei Changxian had not mentioned the issue of an heir in the two years since she came back. Wei Changying thought that she was impatient to raise a child and planned to personally adopt the crying spirit before she died.
Mr. He said with a smile: "How come the eldest lady, who is thinking about wielding swords and guns all day long, doesn't pay attention to what she says? Now everyone in the house knows about it - the second lady doesn't want the children of the Liu family's side branch, she just wants to Choose one of Liu Jizhao's brothers and nephews. Liu Jizhao didn't have many brothers and heirs. In the past two years, there were no younger ones. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to raise him. No, Liu Zhongzhao got a bastard last month. Liu Zhongzhao himself had two older legitimate sons, so the Liu family sent people to Fengzhou to ask the second lady if she wanted this child. "
"Second sister wants it?" Wei Changying asked.
"Of course I want it." He said, "Although he is a concubine, he is Liu Jizhao's nephew, and his bloodline is very close. And if he doesn't want it this time, who knows when a suitable candidate will be available next time? After all, the second lady has been very lonely in the Jingping Palace for the past two years, and she can do something to raise an heir. "
Wei Changying nodded and said: "This is a good thing. She has serious things to do, so she shouldn't always look for faults in our team."
"Actually, Duke Jingping's mansion and ours are both the flesh and blood of the old feudal lord, and they are both in Fengzhou City. It is better to get along with each other affectionately." He said with a smile, "Miss Don’t worry about the second lady all the time. Your good husband is gone. Although he still has good clothes and good food, what hope does he have in the future? No matter how good the heir is, he is not his own flesh and blood.
He is a powerful person who never lets others easily. She usually likes to follow Wei Changying. There are only two people she has always gone against Wei Changying's preferences, that is, she dislikes Jiang Zheng and is deeply attached to Wei Changxian. pity. This is because He is also a widow - her husband died of illness the year after she became Wei Changying's wet nurse. The two originally had a son, who was only three months older than Wei Changying, but when he was six years old, But he died again.
Mrs. He was still young at that time, and Mrs. Song took pity on her life experience, and because she was just a servant and did not need to pay attention to etiquette like the ladies of the Wei family. She would not marry another husband, so she asked her privately if she wanted to marry someone else. A child. Of course, in this case, she would no longer be able to serve the guard chief Ying. After all, in a family like the Wei family, the ladies' servants are required to meet the requirements of virtuous servants and maids with impeccable conduct. Leaving a remarried woman beside the legitimate daughter, there is no way He asked outsiders to discuss whether Wei Changying would be taught bad things.
However, Mr. He was devastated by the death of his only son. In addition, he had developed feelings for Wei Changying over the past few years and was unwilling to leave his little master, so he rejected Mrs. Song's sympathy.
Since He himself was a young widow and lost his only son, he had special understanding and sympathy for Wei Changxian, who had gone through a similar experience.
Wei Changying also knew this, so he listened to her advice and said: "Okay, okay, the second sister doesn't look for trouble, and I haven't taken the initiative to provoke her."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's add some grapes and pomegranates, or something else appropriate. Anyway, my aunt will take care of it."
He was careful and said: "After all, the heir is not the second miss's biological son. The second miss has always been careless. Don't think that the eldest miss is laughing at her. In my opinion, it is better to choose someone with good fortune and longevity, who will get Jing'er anyway." "
"I have a lot of these things in my private treasury. Except for the best ones, my aunt can choose at will." Wei Changying nodded.
In a blink of an eye, it was Wei Changxian's birthday, which was interrupted by Song Zaishui. Although the sisters in the third room were in a difficult situation at the time, they really didn't want to go to this day. The reason was also hinted by Song Zaishui. Because Mrs. Pei was slightly unwell, it was only reasonable for her daughter to stay and take care of her.
The sisters of the third room were not going, and the second room was far away in the imperial capital. Among the girls of Wei Huan's generation, Wei Changying was the only one. She didn't wake up until she had changed her clothes. She stopped going out and ran to Mingse Juli and Song Zaishui. Theory: "Cousin, you have already talked about the fourth and fifth sisters, so why should I go to the Jingping Palace alone today? No, you have to accompany me!"
Song Zaishui said in surprise: "Why are you going alone? Aren't Changfeng and the others going?"
Since Wei Changxian returned to her natal family and became a widow, her birthday would not be a big event, so she invited Wei Huan and Wei Jiong to have a casual banquet. Although she has been married before, she is young and has a lower seniority. People of Mrs. Song's generation will basically not go to banquets unless they have something else to discuss at the Jingping Palace. Usually, it is a gift for the children to go - the third wife, Pei, went there once in person for the sake of her younger brother, but she did not want to lose face because of the failure.
Because they are cousins and we are close together, the boys will also join in the fun and meet their cousins.
At this time, Song Zaishui heard Wei Changying say that it was strange that she was going alone. However, Wei Changying said: "Changfeng and the others are going with the eldest brother, ninth brother, and tenth brother. It's just me and the sixth sister who are accompanying the second sister? Liu My sister would have been shouting that she wanted to play in the garden for at least half a moment, so I would be left alone to talk to my second sister—it’s not like you don’t know that I and my second sister have never talked about going together."
Song Zaishui gloated: "Isn't this just right? You will marry into the Shen family next year. Who knows if all your sisters-in-law and eldest sisters-in-law will be able to talk to you? Now it is just right for you, the second sister Practice your skills, you have to seize this opportunity!"
"I don't!" Wei Changying took her arm, "You come with me - a person like the second sister is best suited to be dealt with by a virtuous and virtuous person like you, cousin. It's ready. My biological cousin is here, it would be foolish of me not to drag you to help deal with it. "
"No, no, no!" Song Zaishui pushed her lazily and said, "On such a hot day, I won't join in the fun! Besides, why are you the only one accompanying Miss Wei Er? It's not like she doesn't have a sister-in-law. .”
Wei Changying said while dragging her: "Every year, my second sister's birthday is organized by my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest sister-in-law's second son's health is not very good, and he has never been able to stabilize since he was born. So although my eldest sister-in-law sends servants to take care of it, At the banquet, I just came to congratulate you, and then left after a short while. My ninth and tenth brothers are not old enough to marry, so I am not alone with her. Alas, this is all your fault. Don’t you advise me? If my fifth sister doesn’t go, why would you make me so embarrassed? You have to go with me anyway!”
Song Zaishui was lying on the couch and refused to get up, and said lazily: "You are not afraid of offending her, so you can just say a few words and leave? Why don't you drag me there? She didn't give me a post, so she rushed to the door. Go, don’t ask people to rush out!”
"You are the future empress. If you go to congratulate her, she will only be a brilliance. How can she dare to despise you?" Song Zaishui's face suddenly froze when Wei Changying said this sentence... After a few breaths, she almost died. He jumped up and stared at his cousin: "If you don't make me mad, are you unhappy?!"
Wei Changying let go of his hand grabbing her sleeve, made a face and said: "Good cousin, I accidentally said the wrong thing. Don't be upset. Well, I know you are in a bad mood now, so just go with me." On my second sister’s birthday, it’s time to relax and relax!”
Song Zaishui frowned and sneered: "Is it because if I don't agree to go and relax, you will lose my interest until I have to accompany you to Jingping Gongfu?"
"What my cousin said, how could you think so bad of me?" Wei Zhang Ying said earnestly, "My cousin is the quasi-Crown Princess, the future Empress, and will be the one who will be the mother of the world in the future. Although I am your cousin, but There is a difference between king and minister, how dare I offend my cousin, right? When it comes to this kind of mother-in-law, I don’t think there is anyone more beautiful than my cousin..."
"...enough!" After listening to the series of crown princes, empresses, and mothers in the world, Song Zaishui, who now hated the Wei royal family, almost wanted to vomit blood. Her chest heaved violently for a moment, and her face turned pale and pale for a while before she gritted her teeth and said, " I...I'll go with you and you wait while I change."
Wei Changying's face suddenly burst into laughter, and he smiled flatteringly: "Cousin, you are so kind! Cousin, you are just like my sister-in-law!"
"If I were your eldest sister and grew up with you, I would have been mad at you!" It was obvious that she was getting an advantage and yet she behaved like this. Song, who was walking towards the inner room, almost stumbled under the water and took a deep breath. Take a breath, look back and roar! (To be continued)
