After sitting down in the small study room, Wei Zhang Ying Zi wanted to say a few words of concern for his eldest uncle: "My eldest brother has not been well these past two days? I am too busy and confused, and we are in the same house and didn't know. What's wrong with you?" "
Liu said lightly: "Every summer he stays in the cold room for a long time, and he always feels uncomfortable once or twice."
Wei Changying said in surprise: "I can't tell that my eldest brother looks like a frail person?"
"I heard from my mother that it happened before I came here. He chased the enemy in the snow in Xiliang. Although he killed the enemy, he was also seriously injured. The root of the disease was left in the snow." There was a hint of complexity between his brows, and he said calmly, "However, you also know that the imperial capital has been really hot in the past two months. How can I sleep without Bingjian? He has to go out on errands every day. If he doesn't sleep well, Being mentally weak was also a problem. As a result, I had an old illness in the past two days, so I had to take a leave of absence. It wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t tell him.”
He added, "It was even worse before. It was only after my mother asked Divine Doctor Ji to diagnose and treat him that he became what he is now. However, Divine Doctor Ji said that he suffered too much frostbite in the snow, and that's all he's going to get after recuperating."
Mrs. Liu obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. She explained the whole story in a few words, and then changed the topic to the real thing: "Third brother and sister, look at the things I'm taking care of here now. I'm going to ask you to take care of them. What do you think?" ?”
Wei Changying originally only expressed it out of politeness, but now seeing that Ms. Liu didn't want to mention Shen Zangli's body, he just followed her and talked about family matters.
The two sisters discussed until noon before clearly finalizing the division of labor for each of them. After checking the time, Mrs. Liu left Wei Changying to eat in the main room.
In the past, Wei Changying would have agreed, but now that she knew that Shen Zang was seriously ill, Mrs. Liu was probably thinking about her husband when she talked about the matter, so Wei Changying declined and said that there was something waiting for her in the yard... Sure enough, Mrs. Liu I stayed a couple of times for a token amount of time, but when I saw that she insisted on leaving, I agreed.
Back at Jintong Courtyard, Mrs. Huang and others had prepared food waiting for her. Wei Changying used some casually, and then told Mr. Huang to Shen Zangli: "I just went to the main room with my sister-in-law, and we met on the corridor. Brother, he seems to be ill. Auntie, please pack up some things that may be needed and send Zhu Shi to send them to my sister-in-law later. "
Huang agreed and said: "Someone from Fengzhou just came with a letter written by the old lady and my wife. Now the letter has been placed on the young lady's dressing table in the inner room, and the person who sent the letter has also arranged to rest temporarily in the front yard. Exit for your enquiry, Madam."
Chief Wei Ying asked happily: "Grandma and mother wrote a letter?" Without waiting for Huang to confirm again, she picked up the skirt of her skirt briskly, turned around and ran towards the inner room.
Mrs. Huang looked behind her and couldn't help but smile and said, "My maid said that the young madam is now more and more powerful as a lady. Now that she hears the old lady and the madam's letter, she feels like a little girl again."
Mr. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "No matter how old you are, Madam, you will still be a child in front of Old Madam and Madam."
"I think Sister He, you look like a little girl!" Huang looked at her with a smile after hearing this.
He was startled and subconsciously pinched the hairpin in his sleeve, thinking in horror: Does Sister Huang also know about this hairpin? This... I have to return it quickly! Otherwise, you will really be laughed to death!
She was feeling guilty, but Mrs. Huang followed up: "Two days ago, when the young lady went to the Song Mansion, the eldest lady of the Song family teased the young lady. This is what the young lady told the eldest lady of the Song family. At that time, she was The eldest lady of the family made fun of her, but the young lady learned this skill from you, Sister He? "
Mr. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought: What am I saying? There was no one around at the time. No matter how smart Sister Huang was, how could she have known about this? I also thought that since no one knew, I might as well think about it for two more days...
The two aunts were chatting here, and Wei Changying had already run into the inner room. With a glance, he saw a red gold hairpin holding two thick letters on the dressing table.
Wei Changying picked it up happily and thought while opening it: "I guess it will be delivered after Guang'er is full moon. I wonder what novel things my mother and grandmother have prepared for Guang'er?" When he was about to open it, he thought: Sighing, "Guang'er is now being raised at my mother-in-law's place. There are too many things so I can't take them all, lest my mother-in-law misunderstand that I am afraid that she will treat Guang'er badly! I don't know when I will be able to bring him back. By then, I will send him away now." I don’t know if he likes whatever comes here?”
She sighed and opened the letter to look at it carefully. This letter was from Mrs. Song. She first congratulated her daughter on becoming a mother, and then asked about her grandson's current situation. Then he told her some rules and techniques for being a daughter-in-law, as well as housekeeping methods, etc. Juan Xiu's hairpin style was written eloquently for three pages, and at the end was a list of things for her grandson, as well as things for everyone in the Shen family.
Of course, Wei Changying is indispensable.
Wei Changying read his mother's letter over and over for a long time, and felt sour in his heart: When he was in Fengzhou, Mrs. Song would like to catch her and talk to her every day. Wei Changying would be very naughty and impatient to listen to her mother's teachings. He would often either sneak away or fall asleep while listening... One time, he was so exaggerated that he almost drooled all over his mother's clothes.
Now that she has left the pavilion and become a mother, only then can she understand how Mrs. Song feels about her daughter. It is only through raising children that you can appreciate the kindness of your parents. Now Mrs. Song's nagging is nothing new compared to what she said in Fengzhou, but Wei Changying only feels indescribably warm when he looks at it.
After stroking the letter reluctantly for a long time, Wei Changying hurriedly opened his grandmother's letter and read it.
The beginning of Mrs. Song's letter is roughly the same as the content of Mrs. Song's letter. The only difference is that on the last page, the old lady did not mention a gift list - it seems that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gave gifts together, so Mrs. Song made a list. . Mrs. Song was talking about something that surprised Wei Changying, and she mentioned a person whom Wei Changying had almost completely forgotten—Wei Xinyong.
It is hard for Wei Changying to tell whether he is disgusted, resentful, grateful or what? This is a scheming young man who was born in Zhiben Hall but seems to have deep resentment towards Zhiben Hall.
Speaking of the assassination outside Fengzhou City, if Wei Xinyong hadn't intervened, even though Jiang Zheng was experienced in martial arts, he, Wei Changying, and Wei Qing were all very skilled in martial arts, but they couldn't withstand the disparity between the enemy and ourselves and Wei. Changfeng is a burden that must be protected and cannot be discarded. He will definitely die under the cooperation of the late Jingping Duke Wei Zhengya and the Liu family. There is no certainty that neither Wei Zhengya nor the Liu family will be stupid. He easily attacked Wei Changfeng directly.
From this point of view, Wei Xinyong was really helpful to Wei Changying and his brother Wei Changying. Even if he saved the two siblings, he had his own plans.
But thinking about his false and true plans, not only did he indirectly ruin his reputation, but he also took the opportunity to take away Mo Binwei, the talent Mrs. Song had reserved for her grandson... Wei Changying felt a little grateful to him. stand up.
Sighing in his heart, the Chief of Guards Ying concentrated on reading. After seeing two lines, the Chief of Guards Ying was stunned—
Wei Xinyong is going to be adopted into Ruiyu Hall? !
She hurriedly continued reading, only to see Mrs. Song telling the story in an understated tone: Except for Wei Huan's eldest son, Wei Huan, who inherited the title of Duke Jingping, and Wei Huan's younger brother Wei Jiong, there were originally There are several brothers who died in infancy. Among them was a man named Lian, who was Wei Huan's half-brother.
Unfortunately, Wei Lian suffered a long life - he was only seventeen when he passed away, and his marriage was not settled yet.
Naturally, there is no one in his family. Wei Huan wanted to give his brother an adopted heir in his early years to continue his legacy. However, he gave birth to four sons in total. Another concubine, Wei Jiong, also had no children. When he came to ask for help, he had to take his youngest son to be raised. Among the three remaining sons, the eldest son would not be able to adopt the throne, and his health was not good. For a few years, Wei Huan was counting on his second wife to take over Ruiyu Hall, and of course he was not willing to adopt Wei Shengyi. In the name of his deceased brother; as for Wei Shengnian, Wei Huan originally thought it was the most suitable, but Mrs. Song was also worried that if her eldest son was not good... She disliked Wei Shengyi who was raised by the old Mrs. Jingping. Do you think the third room can be used to suppress Wei Shengyi? So I firmly disagree!
This dragged it down.
Now it was Wei Huan who came up with this idea again, because Mrs. Song was "reluctant" to let go of the heirs she had raised under her knees, so she decided to create heirs for Wei from distant branches. As a result, Wei Xinyong was found.
Wei Changying couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw this!
Mrs. Song's letter didn't end here. She also talked about Wei Changying's meeting with Wei Xinyong. It probably meant that the matter was over, and Wei Xinyong did not mean to harm Wei Changying at that time. Now that Wei Xinyong has passed into Wei Lian's name, he and Rui Yutang will become a family in the future, so Wei Changying should stop worrying about the past.
The point is that Mrs. Song hopes that Wei Changying can introduce Shen Xuan, Song Yuwang and others to Wei Xinyong.
...If he hadn't been so familiar with his grandmother's handwriting, Wei Changying would have almost thought that this letter was a forgery!
It's not that Wei Changying hated Wei Xinyong so much that he couldn't even listen to his grandmother's words to him. But Wei Changying is well aware of how much his grandmother dotes on him. Mrs. Song's thinking has always been: No matter whether it is intentional or not, if you don't feel comfortable calling me your grandson or granddaughter, then it's your fault! You deserve death!
After turning over the letter suspiciously for a long time, Wei Changying simply called Mr. Huang: "Has the person who delivered the letter rested? If so, go and ask if you can reply now and ask him to come see you." I!"
After a while, a male servant was brought to the back. Guard Chief Ying took a quick look and recognized that it was Lu Cheng, who was serving his grandmother, and Lu Quan, who was serving Wei Zheng Hong, was his uncle and nephew.
Lu Cheng knew the status of Wei Changying in Mrs. Song's heart and did not dare to neglect him. He knelt down and saluted as soon as he entered the door, and said attentively: "I haven't seen the eldest lady for a long time. Now I see that the eldest lady is in good health. I am really happy. Ruo Kuang." He also congratulated Chief Wei on the birth of his son.
Wei Changying smiled and exchanged greetings with him, and after greeting Lu Quan, he inquired about the situation of his relatives in Fengzhou in detail, and learned that everyone was fine. Although his father Wei Zhenghong's body had not recovered, he had not deteriorated either. ... After asking everyone around, I came up with something that neither Mrs. Song nor Mrs. Song mentioned in their letters: her cousin Wei Gaochan is finally leaving the cabinet - the official date is set for September, and she is now packing up The gift is just right for Lu Cheng to take back. I don't know if Mrs. Song set this date for the convenience of her direct granddaughter.
Wei Gaochan's husband's family is a descendant of the Su family in Qingzhou, and his name sounds strange, Su Quan.
Wei Changying didn't sound like he was a direct descendant of our sect, so he asked Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng said nonchalantly: "When I was young, I heard people in the house talking about it. It seemed that he was a descendant of our sect, but he was just a commoner... His great-grandfather He is the concubine of the old clan leader of the Su family. He was not favored, so he was sent back to Qingzhou when he was a child. "
Perhaps she felt that saying this would seem like Mrs. Song had not found a good family for her concubine's granddaughter. Lu Cheng added hurriedly, "But Mr. Su is a very good man and extremely filial. He is a well-known filial son in Qingzhou. He served his widowed mother with great devotion. The old lady was also impressed by his character, so she married the fourth lady to him regardless of his alienation from the family. "
If Wei Changying had heard that Wei Gaochan was going to marry a filial son before leaving the cabinet, he would have thought that such a person was really good with good conduct. But now that she is a mother, she will naturally not be as innocent as a little girl. Hearing these words, he frowned slightly and thought: "My great-grandfather was a descendant of our sect at that time. Now he is estranged from my grandfather's family and the relationship is obviously very weak. Especially Su Quan's great-grandfather was not favored, and his children Can you still be proud? If you are proud, you should have heard of some reputation... Not to mention this, the filial son... is still known far and wide, but he doesn't know what his mother's temperament is like. Just like Aunt Song from my aunt's husband's family, my fourth sister will definitely be upset if she gets married."
She vaguely guessed that Wei Gaochan's marriage had been delayed until now, and she still married such a person. It was very likely that Wei Gaochan had made trouble for her back then - Madam Song might still be generous to people who had offended her, but she was still generous to people who had wronged her. Anyone who married her grandson or granddaughter was always driven to death.
It seems that grandma still has her old temperament... But why is there something so wrong when it comes to Wei Xinyong
Wei Changying made a few perfunctory remarks about Wei Gaochan's marriage, and then asked the real question: "What happened to this clan uncle who was adopted by my great-uncle and has a new name?" (To be continued)
