In total, Song Yuwang was four years older than Mrs. Song. However, because he was the only surviving male heir of Duke Duanhui and Song Xinping, and he was also his legitimate son, Duke Duanhui spared no effort in cultivating his son, and was even willing to become an official as his son early. paving. Therefore, compared with other high-ranking officials, Song Yuwang was considered to be a first-rank official at a young age, and he was as noble as Sikong.
He and Mrs. Song are full-blooded brothers and sisters, and they have quite similar looks. They have white face, slight beard, handsome eyebrows and long eyes, and appear to be gentle and elegant. In her behavior, she carried the elegance and calmness infiltrated from years of pampering and pampering by a family member, and she seemed very affectionate to her direct niece.
Wei Chang Ying just knelt down to salute. He had already helped her to stand up and take a seat. Then he said kindly: "You have been married to the imperial capital for more than a year. Due to the busy political affairs, our uncle and nephew are here for the first time." It’s a shame to meet you.”
Hearing this, Wei Changying apologized for neglecting his uncle. Song Yuwang said with a smile: "You were here before, but I was busy and happened to miss it. How can I blame you?" He asked about the people in Fengzhou. In particular, he asked about Wei Zhenghong's health and Wei Changfeng's studies.
Hearing that although Wei Zhenghong had not recovered, his health was still good over the years, and that Wei Changfeng worshiped under Master Wei's ancient sect and was highly praised by his master and Wei Huan. Song Yuwang showed a look of relief and said: "Your father Feng It's a pity that Yi Cai Xue is so frustrating... Fortunately, Changfeng is very talented and has a famous teacher. Now I have heard about some of his talents and read some of his poems, which are indeed very spiritual. "
Guard Chief Ying hurriedly said humbly on behalf of his younger brother: "This is all because Uncle Zhijiao has taught him well and his grandfather has been supervising him. I really don't dare to praise him as my uncle."
Song Yuwang praised her for her knowledge of etiquette, and casually talked to her about the history of poetry and classics. Wei Chang Yingcai was far less knowledgeable than his younger brother, and he couldn't help but sweat secretly. Fortunately, Song Yuwang only talked casually, and Song Zaishui helped her. It was smooth sailing, and we managed to cope with it.
Later, Song Yuwang also noticed that this niece didn't seem to be very good at literary matters, but she was just at the level of an ordinary lady, so he stopped mentioning it and started talking about homely things again. After chatting like this for more than an hour, Song Zaishui reminded his father: "Mrs. Su wants Zhang Ying to go back early, and it's time to ask someone to prepare food now."
Song Yuwang passed on the order, and asked Wei Changying how he was doing at his husband's house. He mentioned Shen Shuguang: "My nephew is very cute and strong. I think the Taifu loves him very much."
Song Zaishui smiled and said: "Chang Ying is now a mother in the Shen family, otherwise he might not be able to come out today!"
Wei Changying was not familiar with his uncle when he met him for the first time, so he was embarrassed to anger his cousin in front of him. After hearing this, Song Yuwang frowned slightly and warned: "You are also the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, and your family is not weaker than that of the Shen family. As long as you abide by women's ethics, if the Shen family is rude, your parents will stay away." If you can't tell me in Fengzhou, you can come to my place at any time to explain, and I will go to the Shen family to seek justice for you."
"Thank you, uncle." Wei Changying felt warm after hearing this, and he thanked her hurriedly and respectfully, and then said, "My niece is in the back hall and I don't see my father-in-law very often, but my mother-in-law used to treat her niece according to the rules. Now because of Guang'er Be extra tolerant.”
Song Yuwang nodded and stroked his beard and said, "Your mother and I are biological brothers and sisters. We treat you and Changfeng as if they were in the water. If you have anything to do, don't be polite. I'm not in the house, so you can tell me in the water."
Wei Zhang Ying naturally wanted to be grateful again.
After a while, a servant came to tell me that dinner was ready.
Because Song Yu wanted to stay with his niece and daughter for dinner, Huo didn't come over. Seeing that Song Zaijiang and Song Zaitian were not there either, Wei Changying was a little surprised and asked.
Song Zaishui said: "The eldest brother and the second brother are very busy with errands these days, and they don't come back until they hold the lantern."
Wei Changying saw that Song Yuwang and Song Zaishui didn't take their late return seriously, so he didn't take it to heart. After dinner in this way, the sky was still bright. Song Yuwang took a few steps and asked Song Zaishui to take Wei Chief Ying to the back door.
On the way, the captain of the guard, Ying, was angry at her: "You said in front of my uncle that a mother is more valuable than her son. My uncle thought that I was bullied in my husband's family and that I had to rely on my son to survive!"
Song Zaishui pointed at her and said: "I have never seen a more heartless person than you! Don't I mean this well? Who was sitting in front of me just now, worrying about how to talk to your mother-in-law when you get back? I immediately found someone for you. Patron, if your mother-in-law makes things difficult for you, wouldn't you ask your father to come and help you? "
The captain of the guard said with a smile on his face: "My mother-in-law said something bad about me, how can I immediately move out of my uncle's house to find a place? Whose daughter-in-law is so pampered?"
"You are so stupid." Song Zaishui gently pushed her arm with his hand and said angrily, "You will go back now and explain the matter of Princess Anji first, and then briefly mention the marriage between your brother-in-law and Huo Qingling. Your mother-in-law If you don't agree, don't force it. If your father is at home, I will send you a letter. Come over and tell your father to propose marriage on behalf of the Huo family - your mother-in-law must give your father face, right? ? Isn’t that what happened?”
Wei Changying sighed: "What I have to worry about now is not just whether my mother-in-law agrees or not! I also have to worry about my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law!"
"This is your own business." Song Zaishui said gloatingly, "Who told you to be confused before?" Having said that, before getting in the car, Song Zaishui finally gave her an idea, "What are you doing today?" How do you deal with Mrs. Gu? You can do the same to your sister-in-law and brother-in-law when you go back! Tell them about the matter and ask them how they want you to apologize and make up for it - they will always give you some face as a sister-in-law. "
Wei Changying didn't appreciate it. As he got into the car, he spat: "What kind of idea is this? I originally planned to do this... Do you have anything better?"
"You're so good at what you get! I knew you had no conscience." Song Zaishui said, "I won't give it to you even if I have a good idea." He lowered the car curtain for her and said, "Let's go, let's not call you if we get back late." Sisters-in-law talk."
Wei Changying raised the car curtain and said, "Tell your cousin sister-in-law when you turn around that I'm leaving."
"I know, I know." Song Zaishui said, "Do you think I am as careless as you? Regardless of whether you remind me or not, will you go to my sister-in-law and tell me?"
When Wei Changying returned to Taifu's Mansion, Mrs. Su happened to be eating, so Wei Changying washed his hands and went to serve her.
Mrs. Su asked her: "Have you ever used it at the Song family? If you haven't used it yet, ask them to set up a table for you later. Just ask them to serve you here."
"Thank you for your consideration, mother. My wife used it at my uncle's place." Wei Changying said with a smile.
Mrs. Su nodded and let her serve.
When it was finished, a servant brought tea, and Wei Changying took it, rinsed her mouth with Mrs. Su, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth. Mrs. Su then asked her about her situation at the Song family. Wei Changying thought that he might not be able to get through it because he thought of several excuses while serving his mother-in-law, so he simply dealt with her as he did in front of Mrs. Gu and said: "Speaking of which The daughter-in-law still has to apologize to her mother..."
Mrs. Su was not surprised. She sent her servants off and said clearly: "Does Huo Zhaoyu want to be the master?"
Chief Wei Ying nodded nonchalantly, thinking about what would happen to his mother-in-law next
Just listen to Mrs. Su's instructions: "Please tell me carefully."
After hearing what happened, Mrs. Su's expression changed for a moment, and she suddenly asked: "In your opinion, is Huo Qingling qualified to be my wife, Mrs. Shen?"
Wei Changying could not figure out her mother-in-law's current mood, so she said cautiously: "I have only met my daughter-in-law twice at banquets before, and have never had an in-depth conversation. I don't know the true temperament of this young lady. Therefore, my daughter-in-law does not dare to explain."
Mrs. Su glanced at her and said, "Then let me find out more about it."
What she meant was that if Huo Qingling got what she wanted, she would agree.
Wei Changying thankfully took Shen Shuguang back to Jintong Courtyard.
On the other side, in the Wei Mansion, Mrs. Min also thanked God and closed the door and secretly rejoiced: "Little Hooves has indeed been fooled! I just hope that God will bless Liu Ruoye and give her some more aggressive ideas so that she can be tortured earlier." It’s better if we don’t have a chance to stand out anymore! Otherwise, my second brother and I will have to live in constant fear that one day our father-in-law, husband, and second uncle will turn against each other and pamper that little hooves again, causing our sister-in-law to bend under her again and suffer. What a humiliation!”
When Min thought that he could do it, he immediately sent his servants away, knelt down in front of the bed and prayed devoutly to heaven...
In the courtyard where she was praying, Wei Changjuan looked at Liu Ruoye in disguise, pretending to be a maid, in surprise, and after a while she said: "Why... why are you here now?"
"You really can't rest assured if I don't look at you, but your door has never let me in." Liu Ruoye bit her lip - it was getting late now, and you could see the sparkling color in her eyes. He whispered, "I know I shouldn't have given you advice before. Even if you asked me, I should have kept my mouth shut... I really didn't expect that. I thought... I thought that at most I would be punished. You put me If you tell me, you might not be punished. Now you don't want to see me, and I know it. I just thought that when your family mentioned you... it seemed a little disrespectful... I was worried... "
She seemed very sad, her voice became lower and lower, her head lowered, and she gradually became speechless.
Wei Changjuan was silent for a long time, and then said calmly: "It's already dark. You, a young lady from a big family, sneaked in in disguise like this and spread the word. It will bring bad reputation to you."
"I was the one who harmed you, but who can care about it now?" Liu Ruoye suddenly raised his head when he heard her finally speaking and said seriously.
Xu Shi raised her head hurriedly, and two large teardrops dripped down her bright face. Thinking of the neglect and neglect she had received these days, Wei Changjuan's eyes became sore, and her voice was choked with sobs: " I can’t blame you entirely, it’s actually my fault. Every time you advise me, I should listen to you, but I... I... now... mother... "
"I think your place is very deserted. There are not many people walking along the way." Liu Ruoye whispered, "Although it is the mourning period, I think your place is too deserted... But the two sisters-in-law Too much grief, no one to take care of the house now?”
These words immediately touched upon Wei Changjuan's pain point!
She burst into tears for a moment and murmured: "If they are overly grieved by their mother's death, why do they have to treat me like this these days?!" (To be continued)
