After Duanmiqin and his party left Xiliang, Wei Changying suddenly felt free.
As a mother, whenever you have free time, you will inevitably think about your children.
For a while, I was thinking about the days, thinking that Shen Shuguang should be able to speak a few words now, but he grew up with his grandparents, and I don't know if he can still call him father or mother now
He also thought about the clothes that Tuo Duan Mu Xinmiao brought back to the imperial capital for him. He didn't know if the size would fit.
Then I thought that in a few days, my children would start to understand and see that their cousins are loved by their parents, but my parents are not around, and my father has not even seen me. Will I feel sad and resentful of myself and my husband...
She would always do something subconsciously when she thought about her son. Duanmu Xinmiao and his party were still on the way, and Wei Changying, who was a mediocre or very bad actress at her parents' home, made two more small clothes.
As he embroidered the last bamboo leaf on his lapel and looked at the deep and shallow bamboo leaves on the purple silk garment, he thought of the poem by his predecessor Zeng Yun, "There are knots before they are unearthed, and they are still modest even when they are in the clouds." Chang Ying suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he wore clothes made by his mother, Mrs. Song...
To sum up, she has been a naughty daughter since she was a child. She often made her elders naughty since she was a child. However, when she was five or six years old, she was taught by her wet nurse He. She stood in front of Mrs. Song with a milky voice and said what He taught her in private. : "Thank you for your hard work, mother! Mother works hard day and night on housework. It's enough to ask the servants to dress my daughter. Why bother mother anymore?"
At that time, Mrs. Song was so moved that she burst into tears. She touched her little face and kept saying that she was not tired and that she had very little free time... Wei Changying began to believe it the more she heard.
Now that I think about it, with such a turbulent undercurrent in Ruiyu Hall, even if my mother is supported by her grandmother and no one dares to provoke her on the surface, how can it be completely smooth sailing in private
It's just that... mothers always have free time for their children...
I don’t know if my mother and grandmother are still fine now
The last letter I sent back to Fengzhou said that my father's illness has completely recovered, and now he only needs to take care of himself slowly according to the physical weakness of ordinary people... I don't know, what is the situation in Ruiyu Hall now? After all, although Wei Shengyi is half dead, there are still His Majesty and the gloomy sixth uncle Wei Xinyong...
When Shen Zangfeng returned to the room, he happened to see his wife holding a needle half-embedded in the silk material and looking out the window in a trance. She didn't even notice he came in.
He walked over to take a look, and asked with a smile: "Are you making clothes for Guang'er again? Last time you asked your step sister to bring a big bag to him, and the Imperial Capital will definitely make it for him, too. How can he wear so many clothes?"
"No matter how much they do for him in the imperial capital, what I do for him will always be different." Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes at him. Then he put the needle through and tied a knot skillfully. Shen Zangfeng Seeing her reaching for the scissors aside, she hurriedly picked them up and cut the thread for her. She smiled and said, "You feel sorry for your son, but I feel sorry for my wife. I will never be short of new clothes. Look at you these days." My fingers were pinched while doing needlework.”
Wei Changying ignored him, dusted his clothes, stood up, and shook out his clothes. After looking at the light for a long time, he saw that although the stitching was a little unnatural, it was generally passable. The colors that Huang helped match were also very elegant. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "Look at this robe, what are we wearing?" Are you dressed well?"
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said, "Do you like bamboo so much? I see that the clothes you made for Guang'er all have bamboo patterns. How about we move two plants and plant them in this garden?"
After saying this, Wei Changying rolled his eyes again and said: "I would like to embroider something more beautiful for Guang'er, but I have to practice my embroidery skills!"
... When she was at her parents' home, she was preoccupied with practicing martial arts and beating her husband. Even though Nuhong had learned martial arts, she was very poor at it. Being able to embroider such a bamboo leaf now is the result of practicing hard after arriving in Xiliang, having nothing to do, missing Shen Shuguang.
When Shen Zangfeng heard this, his smile deepened and he said, "I'm just telling you! It was the first time I saw you making clothes for Guang'er with your own hands. I was shocked - I just thought, how can you make clothes? You can also embroider. …I don’t think it’s surprising that you hunted some game meat yourself and made it into dried meat for Guang’er.”
"You said I don't know anything, huh?" Wei Changying thumped him on the chest and hummed, "I just didn't have the time to practice before, I was just raw."
"Then why don't you make one for your husband now?" Shen Zangfeng took advantage of the situation and asked.
Wei Changying pushed him and said: "Go, go, I haven't finished Guang'er's clothes in two years, so where can you take your turn?"
Shen Zangfeng said in surprise: "You have been doing this for him for two years, and you are still not a husband?"
"Of course." Wei Changying folded the little purple robe neatly and spat, "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Guang'er until now! You still have the nerve to snatch things from him!"
Shen Zangfeng sighed: "It's not that I don't love him, it's just that this kid is unfilial. How old are you now? How dare you, a father like me, steal clothes made by you? How can you do it in the future?"
"What do you want to do?" Wei Changying folded the little purple robe, called Zhu Xuan in, and asked her to put it in a box specially prepared for Shen Shuguang. He turned around and waved his fist at Shen Zangfeng, He threatened, "If you dare to treat Guang'er badly, be careful and I'll beat you up!"
"What a great queen, why don't you want to cultivate a little great king?" Shen Zangfeng laughed, put his arms around her waist, pressed his forehead against her temples, kissed her gently for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow I will meet again If you want to go to Diecuiguan, do you want to go with me? I think you are feeling bored since your adopted sister left?"
Wei Changying looked up at him and said, "Didn't you say you would take me with you because you were afraid that Shangguan Shiyi would think you were not sincere enough?"
Shen Zangfeng explained: "That was the first time I went back, but now it's just a matter of time and effort."
"Okay, I also want to see what kind of beauty you are talking about, what kind of beauty is that?" Wei Changying squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then stretched out his finger on Shen Zangfeng's cheek to smile. Scratching, he said, "By the way, let's see, are you still honest or not in that Diecuiguan?"
"How will you reward me if I am honest?" Shen Zangfeng asked with a smile.
Wei Changying touched the base of his ear with his backhand, pulled it gently and gently, and shouted: "Isn't it what you should do to be honest! How dare you ask for a reward! It's only right to watch your skin carefully!"
"Yinger is becoming more and more fierce." Shen Zangfeng laughed loudly and said, "Are you forcing my husband to take advantage of it?"
As he said this, his hands and feet became less cautious.
Wei Changying was angrily and thumped - the two were tugging at each other, and Zhu Xianqing coughed outside - Wei Changying hurriedly whispered: "Don't make trouble, I'm afraid someone is coming."
He pushed Shen Zangfeng away, straightened his clothes, and then raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Xian reported through the door: "Young Madam, Young Master, Butler Qi from Jiyuan is accompanying Miss Cao to ask for an audience." Jiyuan is the house Duanmu Xinmiao bought for Ji Gu to take care of.
"That young master of the Cao Family Fort?" Guard Chief Ying Daqi asked, "That little girl—what is she doing here?"
Zhu Xian said: "It seems to be a gift. I have something from Caojiabao today."
When Duanmu Xinmiao left Xiliang before, he entrusted Ji Gu's ancestors and grandson to the guard chief Ying to take care of them. Ever since Duanmu Xinmiao left, Wei Changying would always call Qi Shan back to Mingpeitang every two or three days to ask questions. Because this candidate was arranged by the Huang family, Wei Changying had been in contact with him several times, and he knew the manager relatively well.
Qi Shan is a relatively stable person, not someone who does whatever Cao Ya says. Moreover, according to Wei Changying's observation, Qishan didn't like Ji Gu's ancestors and grandchildren very much, especially Cao Ya, who had a wild temperament. However, he hid this very well and did not neglect Ji Gu because of his dislike. Strengthen ancestors and grandchildren.
Now that he heard that he had come with Cao Ya, Wei Changying wondered if there was something else going on? Caojiabao is not a place rich in products. How can the local products there be so rare? If Cao Ya wanted to go there in person just for this little thing, Qi Shan would also persuade her to send a servant to deliver it.
Besides, the little girl Cao Ya may not be like this... Wei Changying remembered that he had always thought that the little girl had a silent temperament, but after listening to Qi Shan's report in private, he realized that he had misjudged her - it was said that Cao Ya lived with his grandfather in Jiyuan. Within three days, she had climbed all the trees in Jiyuan, and even the bird's nests on them had been touched and cleaned...
If Qishan hadn't stopped him quickly, she would have planned to fish out all the koi carps in the lotus pond and cook them...
This little girl either had stage fright and was afraid of meeting strangers, or she had learned to speak rudely in the Cao Family Fort. The elders were afraid that she would offend the nobles, so they told her not to talk too much in front of the Shen family.
Wei Changying thought for a while and decided to go out in person to see what happened to Cao Ya.
Shen Zangfeng had heard her talk about Caojiabao before, and he was free at the moment. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Since you are a four or five-year-old girl, I will go out with you to see you. You won't be jealous." ?”
"It sounds like I'm very narrow-minded." Wei Changying pinched his arm and said bitterly, "You want to mess with Huahuacaocao, when have I ever stopped you?"
Shen Zangfeng touched his chin and smiled: "Of course, Yinger is the most generous. Even if all the women in the world are jealous, Yinger must be the most virtuous and generous one! The hairpin that was sharpened before Just to resist my husband, it's definitely not because Ying'er is jealous, it's just a coincidence! Ying'er always says that he wants to beat his husband, but that's not jealousy, it's just coquettishness... right?"
Wei Changying curled his lips, then tried to keep a straight face and said: "You are right! I guess you still have some conscience!"
"I feel like my conscience has been completely lost since I got married..." Shen Zangfeng murmured.
Seeing his wife immediately glared at her fiercely, Shen Zangfeng hurriedly said with a smile, "Didn't we agree to go and see the four or five-year-old little castle master together? Considering his age, he is similar to our nieces. If he is a polite person, Why don't we come here often to play? Our yard will be more lively..."
... The two of them each changed into their robes for visiting foreign guests. When they got to the hall, the plate of snacks in front of Cao Ya was almost empty - she looked at her mouth full of powder and crumbs on the floor, and she rolled up her sleeves. Wei Changying frowned and glanced at the maids on the left and right, with dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Cao Ya grew up in the countryside, and it is common for her not to have a good appearance, but... there were many people standing around like wooden logs, but no one came up." Serve her with snacks to make the class more enjoyable
Even if you look down on Cao Ya, everyone's servant, at least he knows how to behave in a scene - since Cao Ya is introduced into this hall, he is a guest of Ming Peitang. Guard Chief Ying did not drive her out. Regardless of whether she was a commoner or a noble, servants should treat each other with courtesy. This is how everyone's servants should behave... Guard Chief Ying secretly wrote down the servants in the hall. , decided to go back and give it a good beating.
Shen Zangfeng didn't take it seriously and said to his wife with a low smile: "This little girl is very courageous."
Cao Ya had obviously seen them coming in, but she still finished the snacks in her mouth and took a sip of water before jumping down from the table, saluting the two people who had almost reached the hall, and said crisply: "Cao Ya I have met the third young master and the third young lady!"
During the whole process, she looked natural, without any fear or timidity - Wei Changying firmly believed that she had been silent when he saw her before, and she must have been warned by her elders. This little girl doesn’t look like someone with stage fright at all!
"There's no need to be polite." Wei Changying glanced at Feiyu not far away and scolded him lukewarmly, "Why don't you clean it up for Miss Cao quickly? Are you just showing up here?"
Feiyu was standing obediently. He was startled when he heard this and hurriedly walked over and wiped Cao Ya with a handkerchief.
... If a girl from a big family, such as Shen Shujing or Shen Shurou, was here, she would definitely say a few perfunctory words on behalf of the maid, so that Wei Changying, the master, would step down.
But Wei Changying definitely can't count on Cao Ya like that. In addition, the Ji family bloodline has always been harsh in words. After Wei Changying scolded Feiyu, he quickly said: "Why did Miss Cao come here in person today? Grandpa, why are you here in person?" How have you been these two days?" (To be continued)
