Wei Changying, who had returned from boxing practice, walked a dozen steps from the door of Xianshuang Courtyard to the front of the house. Zhu Lan who came up to him explained Wei Gaochan's purpose clearly.
Then, when the maids saw Wei Changying, they were stunned at first, and then looked overjoyed!
Everyone was wondering why Wei Changying and Wei Gaochan were so happy when they heard that their cousin was getting married since they had no grudges. Then they saw that Wei Changying seemed to be aware of this and tried to restrain his joy. After entering the door, Wei Gaochan and Duan came to see them. After a few tactful words, Wei Changying assured them that he would definitely help them.
So, after seeing off his extremely grateful cousin, Wei Changying hurriedly took a bath, changed his clothes, and rushed to Mrs. Song. He confidently asked to go with Wei Changfeng to Wei Huan's study to observe the battle in the northern part of the state. The specific inside story - this request she made the day before was immediately dismissed by Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song. She was depressed when Wei Gaochan gave her this legitimate reason. It would be strange not to bother her again.
Mrs. Song was well aware of her plan of pretending to be a public servant. She frowned, nodded her forehead, and said: "Although your grandfather's study is also in the backyard, most of the staff members who come in and out nowadays are men. You are the only one in the family." How elegant is it for a lady to run over, huh?"
Wei Changying said with a smile: "The staff at my grandfather's place are all older people. They are all servants of our family. What does it have to do with it? Besides, my grandfather and Changfeng are both here, and it's not like I'm meeting them alone." "
Mrs. Song said: "You always have a reason, but why are you anxious now? Your grandfather has figured out what happened. How can Changfeng not tell you?"
"Yesterday, my grandfather led Changfeng to see Lu Zifan, but I still don't know how Lu Zifan gave Changfeng the iron plate... Yesterday, Changfeng was left behind by his grandfather. I'm in the study, I haven't been back to Huayuan all night," Wei Changying complained aggrievedly.
Mrs. Song sighed: "Why are you so worried? Your grandfather has to worry about these things and learn to deal with them. Wouldn't it be better not to worry about you?"
There was a hint of melancholy and emotion in the old lady's tone that was extremely difficult to detect, but Wei Changying was still in his youth, and when he was full of vitality, how could he understand the feelings that Old Madam Song had experienced after spending most of his life in the storm? Quan Dang didn't hear these words and kept pestering him: "I'm going to listen. Grandpa's study is very big. I'm standing there alone... Can I go and grind ink and lay paper for my grandfather? Grandma, grandma, okay?" ! I’m either practicing martial arts or listening to my mother’s teachings all day long. I’m so bored. It’s rare to find anything new, so let me listen to it!”
Mrs. Song felt sorry for her and felt that she should not be indulged. She said with a headache: "Do you think that such a big thing is a story? There is no such thing."
The hesitation and looseness in her tone could not be hidden from the fact that Wei Changying, who was a proficient in coquettishness, immediately said: "How can I just listen to it as a story? Grandma thought, this time the fourth sister is happily preparing to leave the court, don't want to just Something happened after just a few days of preparation! Although our family knew this, we didn’t blame the fourth sister. The fourth sister was the one who was wronged. It was Song Han and his son’s fault, but before that we all went to the third room to congratulate her. After that, how could the fourth sister get off the stage all of a sudden? Now the fourth sister didn't say anything, she just wanted to know the reason... Grandma said that if she didn't tell her, wouldn't it be too sad for her to marry? Where is she!"
Even if Wei Gaochan feels unhappy - her parents make the final decision on marriage matters. If she really follows her confused father Wei to marry Song Duan in his prime, then she will be in a dilemma!
Mrs. Song thought that by stopping the marriage for her this time, she was doing her a favor. What else could her granddaughter have to complain about? It wasn't because of his own blood that he didn't have the energy to calm her down. It's just that Mrs. Song also knew that Wei Changying might not be all because of this cousin. She was still curious about the inside story of the war in the north of the state, and she was just talking about Wei Gaochan.
So the old lady said calmly: "Really? According to you, Gao Chan has resentment in his heart now?"
"It's nothing!" Wei Changying was not confused. She knew that her grandmother had always loved her and her brothers, and was indifferent to her cousins. Although the children of the third bedroom were not as hated by her grandmother as the second bedroom, when it came to loving them, they were After that - all Mrs. Song's efforts were devoted to Dafang. She didn't even get much from her beloved female guard Zheng Yin who married far away from the imperial capital, let alone her descendants.
If Mrs. Song thought that Wei Gaochan had hatred because of this incident, Mrs. Song would not sympathize with her granddaughter for being wronged, but would only blame her for being ignorant... The eldest daughter of the concubine was blamed by her direct grandmother. , what future is there left
Wei Changying wanted to use his cousin's trust as his son, but he didn't want to harm Wei Gaochan. When Mrs. Song said this, he hurriedly explained to Wei Gaochan: "You don't know who the fourth sister is as a grandmother? She has always been... She is gentle and demure, and she was taught by her third aunt, so how could she resent her elders? Anyway, this time is her business. Isn’t it reasonable for her to want to know more about it? "
Mrs. Song shook her head and said: "You! Come as soon as the sister entrusts you to come. In your own home, with me and your mother here, it's okay for you to cause some trouble, but as long as you have such a good nature, When you get to your husband's house, will the elders of the Shen family think about everything like me and your mother? "
"I just know that I have a grandmother and a mother now! That's why I dare to do whatever I want." Wei Changying said with a smile, "How can such a good thing be free when I leave the pavilion? So I haven't done anything yet. When I leave the court, I will enjoy the blessing of being protected by my grandmother and mother! If I don’t enjoy it now, will I still have a chance to become a married woman?”
These words made Mrs. Song feel a sudden pain in her heart - she had lost so many children in infancy, and she originally thought that she would never have any biological grandchildren in her life. Unexpectedly, God pitifully gave her siblings Wei Changying and Wei Changfeng. In exchange for These two grandchildren lived a safe and happy life, and she was willing to die immediately - the granddaughter who cherished and cherished her in this way was now seventeen years old, and would be a member of the Shen family next year.
For seventeen years, Mrs. Song has treated her granddaughter like a ball in her eye, and she can't bear the pain no matter how much she hurts her. The flesh and blood of a direct relative, no matter how willful and indulgent he is, no matter how much he asks for transcendence, in the eyes of Mrs. Song, they are all adorable. But would the Shen family treat Wei Changying like this
No wonder this child is so eager to inquire about things in Zhoubei... Mrs. Song sighed in her heart, how could Wei Changying be so interested in the war in Zhoubei? I am afraid that the day when the child will leave the court is getting closer and closer. Although he swears in front of his elders that if he practices kung fu for twelve years regardless of rain or shine, he will beat his husband into obedience and dare not violate it in the slightest, in fact, he has no idea in his heart. end…
How can we have a bottom line? Speaking of which, although Wei Changying was born in the imperial capital, he had not lived much longer than Manzhou when he returned to Fengzhou. Speaking of which, Shen Xuan, Shen Zangfeng, and Su Xiuman had all met her, but could such a young child remember things? These people were completely unfamiliar to her. Not only the people, but also the place was unfamiliar - in that distant imperial capital, the second uncle, his direct grandmother, and his eldest family, who were serving in the imperial court, had many conflicts. Not to mention relying on him, he had to guard against being tricked by his uncle and aunt!
As for her biological aunt, of course she was attracted to her, but Wei Zhengyin was just a woman, and in terms of age, she was Mrs. Su's younger brother and sister, not her sister-in-law. Besides, the Qingzhou Su family that Wei Zhengyin married was also a large family, with sisters-in-law and uncles to take care of, and she also had biological children. If she cared about this niece, how much could she protect the eldest daughter
Wei Changfeng said that the direct daughter of the Wei family in Fengzhou, who would dare to be wronged after she came out of the cabinet? Yes, who would dare to offend the dignity of the daughter of the Wei family, one of the six clans in the country, but there were several contests in the backyard that were open to the public. of? No matter how well Wei Changying is protected by his secretive methods, after all, if everyone is growing up, how can he still know that making people unhappy doesn't necessarily require making a huge fuss
After getting married like this, it's hard to say whether Wei Changying will be able to return to Fengzhou again in this life. The support from her mother's family is just a guarantee that as long as she doesn't do anything very bad, her position as the head wife is unshakable...
As for the rest, don’t you have to look at yourself
The pampered and pampered apple of my eye, seventeen years of talking freely and freely, such beautiful years, such idyllic years, but I have to leave such a familiar and relaxed environment to go to the distant imperial capital, to my husband's Shen family - Zhali, all the elders who have watched him grow up, are going to be someone else's family!
Wei Changying seemed nonchalant, but how could he not be worried or anxious in his heart
Mrs. Song recalled that her granddaughter had been shouting more and more about beating Shen Zangfeng over the past year - she did not say this often when she was practicing hard. Mrs. Song was busy taking care of the housework, and she was always thinking about her husband's illness. In addition, Wei Changying had always been energetic, domineering and arrogant. Even Mrs. Song had ignored the changes in her daughter over the past year: she was becoming more and more fierce. It was a sign that she was becoming more and more uneasy.
If he hadn't been worried about his future after leaving the cabinet, how could Wei Changying keep emphasizing that his martial arts were already very good, and keep planning to beat Shen Zangfeng until he was unable to fight back? Because of fear, he becomes more fierce.
This ferocity is not for others to see, but more to comfort myself - leaving the hometown where I have grown up for seventeen years, leaving the familiar and kind elders, leaving the brothers and sisters who grew up together... Although I am going to a completely unfamiliar place and entering a completely new place. It’s a strange family, but I’m not afraid. I know martial arts and I’m very powerful. Even though I’m not in Fengzhou, even though I don’t have people like my grandmother and mother around me, even though Changfeng and Cousin Song are not here, I still have the ability. Ability to protect oneself.
-I'm not afraid that Shen Zangfeng will treat me badly. If he treats me badly, I know martial arts and I can beat you!
-I'm not afraid that my mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, will treat me badly. If she treats me badly, I know how to use martial arts. I can beat Shen Zangfeng to make you feel bad!
What is hidden behind such childish words is, after all, just the sensitive and confused heart of a girl who is hesitant and needs to marry far away!
Those words just now seemed like coquettishness, but in fact they unintentionally revealed Wei Changying's true feelings at this moment: In the future, after getting married, will I be taken care of by my grandmother and mother under the wings like this, without having to worry at all and being able to do it? When you are laughing and doing what you want to do and saying what you want to say
So before you get married, while you are still the eldest Miss Wei, not the young lady of the Shen family - just enjoy it!
I can enjoy it for a while, count it as a moment, because after getting married, because after leaving Fengzhou, because after becoming a woman, there will be no more!
What Wei Changying really cares about is not the war in the north of the state, nor is he really so curious that he insists on going to Wei Huan's study... The reason why she is so tossing is just to enjoy herself with such coquettishness, such entanglement, and such cheating. Enjoying the last period of being the apple of your eye.
Because next year she will not be the eldest lady, but the young lady...
When she was the eldest lady, she had a grandmother, mother, cousins, and brothers. She was free and unconstrained, and no one could restrain her. As a young lady, she had her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, uncles, and uncles... and The husband that God knows how well they would get along.
In the future, who knows whether there will be concubines to share that husband with her, and whether there will be children from concubines to share that person with her flesh and blood
And she can only face all this by herself - Fengzhou and the Imperial Capital are thousands of miles away, and even with the most urgent military report, it will take several days to go back and forth... The difficulties that a woman has to face are not just one. Two pieces, why should I come back to my parents’ house again and again for help
How could the strong-tempered Wei Changying afford such humiliation
The Wei family cannot afford to be ashamed to educate a daughter who has to rely on her parents' family for everything...
So now the days are getting shorter and shorter, while she can still legitimately stay in her grandmother's arms; while there are still people blocking her head as always; while she is still a young lady who is loved and respected by her elders, peers, and servants, grab hold of her. Take every opportunity to indulge in being protected, loved and pampered like this...
Because, after a few months, it will be gone. (To be continued)
