Shen Shujing helped her elders coax her cousin, but unexpectedly offended her second aunt with one word. Although her mother Liu was aware of it, she couldn't say anything at the time. After all, it was a fact that the second wife had no children, but the mere offer of apology made Duanmu Yanyu unable to step down. She knew Duanmu Yanyu's temperament, so she couldn't help but secretly defend her daughter: "Duanmu Yanyu's biggest regret in life is that he has no children, but don't hold a grudge against Jing'er just because of this sentence."
Wei Changying was also stunned for a moment when she heard what Shen Shujing said. She knew that this eldest niece was quite like a lady, and was not someone who would criticize others. She probably said this unintentionally. But taking a look at Duanmu Yanyu, she seemed to be overly concerned. She sighed in her heart and thought of her eldest aunt Wei Shengxian: "Before I left the cabinet, I heard from my mother that both sisters-in-law have virtuous reputations. Since I left the cabinet, I have seen The eldest sister-in-law is better than the second sister-in-law, and the mother-in-law also likes the eldest sister-in-law better. Although it is related to the temperament of the two sisters-in-law, it is also because the eldest sister-in-law has a nephew, Shu Ming, and mentioned these children. It's much more leisurely, unlike the second sister-in-law who can't hear a word - it's easier to offend her, and of course behind the scenes, she feels that the second sister-in-law is more difficult to get along with."
Thinking again of Wei Shengxian, "My eldest aunt is such a good person. She taught the two cousins how to be polite and friendly to each other. However, they had no heirs. Fortunately, my eldest uncle was a good man and did not blame my eldest aunt for this. However, my husband The elders are not satisfied with my eldest aunt after all. In fact, if she could have an heir, eldest aunt would have sacrificed everything to ask for it... "
Just as he was sighing with emotion, Duanmu Yanyu suddenly bit his lip and laughed loudly: "Mom, seeing how happy my mother is today, there is good news. I didn't want to steal the limelight from my nephew. I planned to talk to him after today. What the mother said! But after listening to Jing'er's words, the wife would like to get a share of the happiness in the third room!"
Hearing her mention Shen Shujing, Shen Shujing was a little surprised, but Mrs. Liu became vigilant and said with a smile: "Second brother and sister, if you want to enjoy the happiness of the third room, can't you just say it? It's hard for the third brother and sister to return the favor. Why don't you agree to do it after listening to Jing'er's words? I didn't pay attention to Jing'er's childish words just now, but what did she say that made you interested? "
Mrs. Su actually didn't hear clearly what Shen Shujing said to coax Shen Shuyan, but as soon as she heard the words of the two daughters-in-law, she knew that it was Shen Shujing's words that made Duanmu Yanyu feel unhappy, and it was a pinch. Mrs. Su frowned and secretly scolded the two daughters-in-law for their lack of discernment. It was a rare full moon party for a male grandson, so why did they choose to make such a fuss like this
Wei Changying thought so too - but after Duanmu Yanyu said it, everyone was stunned, and immediately they couldn't express themselves: because Duanmu Yanyu said: "The green smoke that mother gave to us in the room is already there Three months pregnant, the daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house and invited Xinmiao to come over when the third sister was born. However, the third sister was in good health and did not need a doctor. The daughter-in-law thought of Cuiyan and asked Xinmiao to check her pulse... "
Speaking of this, Duanmu Yanyu paused deliberately.
Sure enough, Mrs. Su asked eagerly: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Reply to mother." Duanmu Yanyu said respectfully, "Xinmiao said it's a boy!"
Mrs. Su was overjoyed when she heard this and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay!" Naturally, everyone in the hall was busy saying congratulatory words. Mrs. Liu also smiled and congratulated her second wife on their upcoming baby, and said something to Duanmu Yan that seemed true and false. : "Second brother and sister, you are right, such a happy event should have been told a long time ago to make us happy! Why did you delay telling it until now? If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid we might have to give birth before we know about it!"
After being reminded by Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Su also frowned slightly and looked deeply at Duanmu Yanyu. She thought she was thinking about her second grandson's full moon banquet, so she didn't say anything.
Duanmu Yanyu, however, was confident and said with a slight smile: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me by what you said. Cuiyan's body was only discovered on the ninth day of March when she came here. After that, I asked the person who had served me to sit down. The confinement person used to take special care of her, and Xinmiao checked her pulse and said she was fine. Secondly, the third sibling was about to give birth, and everyone in the family was worried about her. I think so. It’s only a few days away, so saying it out will only add to the trouble…”
Hearing this, Wei Changying sighed inwardly and had to apologize: "It's all because of me..."
"How can you blame the third brother and sister?" Duanmu Yanyu said calmly, "It's also because the first three months were unstable. Today, my little nephew is one month old, so I won't say anything that is disappointing. But the second room has had examples before. Wait until Cui The womb of smoke is firmly established, and I'm afraid that even the joy in reporting it will be in vain and make my parents sad."
This explanation is reasonable, because Wei Changying's birth was indeed more than half a month before the birth, and the entire backyard was almost surrounding her. As for Cui Qiao's previous miscarriage, the whole family knew about it - Mrs. Liu He had no choice but to say: "I misunderstood the second younger brother and sister. I thought the second younger brother and sister deliberately concealed the good news and secretly enjoyed it! They didn't tell us! Second younger brother and sister, don't take it to heart!"
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Duanmu Yanyu glanced at her with a half-smile, and then said to Shen Shujing, who thought it was none of her business and was hugging Shen Shuyan, smiling and whispering to her infant cousin. , "So, by the second half of the year, Yan'er will have two younger brothers! Jing'er, you don't have to worry about Yan'er!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "brother". A girl of Shen Shujing's age could already hear the meaning in her words. She couldn't help but be shocked. She subconsciously stopped teasing her cousin and quickly recalled what she had just said to make her second aunt unhappy. Mrs. Xi-Su, however, inferred what Shen Shujing had just said from Duanmu Yanyu's words, and felt unhappy for a while: She knew that her eldest granddaughter was not a mean person, and Duanmu Yanyu clearly did this on purpose. It makes Shen Shujing look ugly...
According to Mrs. Su's idea, she should say a few words to Duanmu Yan, but when she lowered her head and saw her infant grandson, Mrs. Su changed her mind. She secretly thought that the third brother's eldest son was one month old, and the second brother didn't even have a bastard, so even Duanmu Yanyu was worried. Only then, because of Shen Shujing's unintentional words, did she reveal the news that her concubine was pregnant with a boy, which she had originally planned to hide.
Although Mrs. Su had six children to her name, three of whom were biological children alone, she had been in contact with Wei Shengxian these days and knew the difficulty of a childless woman. She felt soft and decided to pretend to be confused and let the matter go. . Then he told his daughters-in-law: "The guests are about to arrive. Yi'er and Yan Yu will go and greet them. Chang Ying and the children will stay with me here."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu hurriedly agreed and stood up. Mrs. Liu glanced at her lost eldest daughter and asked, "Mom, Jing'er is already eleven years old, and my wife has begun to teach her some housekeeping duties. Today I am a guest. "More, can my wife take her to the second gate to see her?"
Mrs. Su knew that Mr. Liu wanted to take the opportunity to point out what Shen Shujing did wrong and how to deal with it, so she nodded and said: "That's fine, but don't hold the child too tightly, she still has four years to get hairpins! If When she is tired, let her come back.”
Mrs. Liu agreed, and Shen Shujing put her cousin down and retired from the elders.
Everything at the full moon banquet went smoothly except for a small disturbance caused by Shen Shujing unintentionally between the guests and the ex-sister-in-law.
Wei Changying has always been taken by her mother-in-law. Firstly, because she is the biological mother of Shen Shuguang - the second grandson of the Shen family whose name was announced at the banquet - and also the legitimate mother, so she does not have to go out to welcome guests on this day; secondly, she is also Mrs. Su. Deliberately remind the third daughter-in-law, and personally teach her through words and deeds the details of these human relationships.
Of course Wei Changying studied hard when he had this opportunity, but something happened in the middle, but it didn't count... It was Mrs. Deng who brought his eldest daughter-in-law Qian and his second daughter-in-law Zhang, and there was another beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes. There was no sign of Wei Zhengyin.
Wei Changying could not help but care about his second aunt. Mrs. Deng would not lie, and because she had received a note from the Shen family before saying that it was not good to tell Wei Changying in advance, she didn't know whether she should say it or not, so she said vaguely: " You ask your eldest aunt and second aunt, I don’t know much either.”
Wei Changying knew that this grandmother had a kind heart and was not someone who didn't care about her daughter-in-law's life and death, so she was a little surprised. Fortunately, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Zhang saw that she didn't know the inside story. They thought that since the Shen family didn't tell them, their foreign relatives didn't have to tell her, so they went over and introduced her to the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes: "This is the spirit fairy." your Highness."
"My wife, please pay homage to Your Highness the Princess!" Wei Changying actually recognized this beautiful woman when he saw her. She was the Lingxian Princess whom she had seen at Princess Linchuan's birthday party last year, but her aunts pretended to be confused without introducing her. Now after hearing this, we must bow according to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. Princess Lingxian's daughter is going to marry her biological brother. Today, Mrs. Deng and her group came here to get close to each other. They refused to accept this great gift from her and hurriedly extended their hands to offer it to them. He stopped her and said with a smile: "We are here to congratulate you today as a relative, so don't be restrained."
He was also angry with Qian and Zhang, "You just say that I am the fourth aunt, why bother mentioning the princess?"
Qian and Zhang smiled and said: "After all, we have to talk about it. Even if I introduce you as the fourth aunt first, why don't we continue to talk about who this fourth aunt is?"
With these words, Wei Changying realized that Princess Lingxian had no airs of a princess, otherwise she would not be so familiar with Qian and Zhang. But this princess was so unpopular, and her biological mother was deposed as a commoner, so it was difficult to pretend to be a princess. Such a mother-in-law would not rely on her wealth to bully her son-in-law, but she had almost no help... She couldn't help but glance at the girl in green clothes next to Princess Lingxian.
Mrs. Deng was the only junior in the industry to the young girl in green clothes. Since both Su Yuli and Su Yuli had left the government, they naturally followed her husband's family. Although Su Yufei and Su Yuyin were just engaged, they were very familiar with their aunt's family. As soon as they entered the backyard, they ran to see their cousin Shen Zangning. The three girls got together and disappeared without a trace. Found someone
This girl in green clothes stood out among a group of older ladies. At the last banquet, Wei Changying pointed at Su Yuli and left an impression that Su Nianchu had a good appearance. Now that he looked closely, he was indeed a bright-eyed woman. Pretty girl with teeth.
This girl wears a wide-sleeved blouse darkly embroidered with mandala flowers and leaves on the green ground, a tulip skirt, her hair is tied up in a bun, she is walking with beaded mallow flowers, and she has emerald Ruyi earrings, which are exposed on her wrists when she raises her hands. A pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, the wrist is the same color as the jade. She stood there handsomely, with a respectful expression and a calmness, and a quietness but also agility - if you only look at her appearance and temperament, there really is nothing to fault.
Wei Changying listened to Princess Lingxian's introduction: "This is my little girl Nianchu. Today I will bring her with me to congratulate you."
Su Nianchu came up to salute and congratulate as he was told. At first he looked very generous and decent, but when he was about to finish speaking, he didn't know what he thought of. His face turned red and his voice lowered. After being looked at by his mother, he returned to normal and retreated. Afterwards, everything from cheeks to neck was red.
Seeing her childish demeanor, Wei Chang Ying's heart softened, thinking of the days before and after he came out of the cabinet... Whose old lady, who is so deep and sophisticated that she is like a family, has never been led by a group of elders to congratulate her on the future. My eldest sister-in-law would have blushed and been ashamed, so how could she have passed by in her tender years
Maybe... this betrothal gift wasn't as bad as she thought? (To be continued)
