"Third brother and sister, I have something to apologize to as my sister-in-law!" After leaving the upper chamber, the three sisters-in-law handed the children to the wet nurse and servants to take care of them. The fifth young lady, Su Yuyin, had not yet given birth. , who was both curious and envious of children, so he told his sisters-in-law and walked a few steps behind with his nieces and nephews.
The third sister-in-law who was walking in front happened to be talking - Mrs. Liu didn't wait for Wei Changying to speak, and said, "You know that Ming'er will be naughty and mischievous. I don't want this kid to lose his head. I know that the third brother is going to give Guang'er some time in advance." After the enlightenment, he actually muttered nonsense in front of Guang'er, which made Guang'er extremely resistant to the matter of enlightenment. It seems that I, as a mother, am not good at raising children, and your eldest brother happens to be away from the house. Wait for this unworthy thing to follow you. I didn't know until Guang'er said that! I wanted him to go to the third room in the afternoon to apologize to you and the third brother, and then explain it clearly to Guang'er, but I didn't want you to go visit the fourth brother and sister, or I would take him there in the afternoon. ?”
Wei Changying originally wanted to talk about this matter after he left the house, but Mrs. Liu first apologized for her son, so it was not easy for her to ask the blame, and he even tried to persuade her in turn: "Sister-in-law, what you said is serious. Tomorrow He has always been more lively, but this was just a childish joke. It was because Guang'er was young and ignorant that he took it seriously. I told him this morning that this was just a joke! To apologize or not to apologize is beyond the pale.”
Mrs. Liu said: "I want it, I want it, this little thing is really hateful! When I heard about this incident, I felt ashamed to see you, my third younger brother and sister. You said that a child as smart as Guang'er was so scared that he didn't live up to expectations. Entering the study, what's going on? He's not doing anything, and he's actually blocking his brother's entrance! I beat him three times in the past two days and I still feel resentful!"
Chief Wei Ying Xin said that you have said everything I want to say, what else can I say? It's just that this matter is not very serious - Shen Shuguang is coaxed by his cousin to get tired of studying again. After all, he is only four years old. Children have great forgetfulness. After two days of coaxing and persuading, they will not continue to be so resistant. So Wei Changying said a few words of love to Shen Shuming and was polite to Mrs. Liu, which was considered to have exposed the matter - of course, Mrs. Liu was so polite that she insisted on letting Shen Shuming come to apologize in person.
After Mrs. Liu finished saying this, Duanmu Yanyu came up and asked about Shen Shuyan, first thanking her: "Yan'er has been in Xiliang for the past two years, and she has relied on her three younger siblings for their upbringing and love. It's really troublesome for her."
Wei Changying said with a smile: "Two sisters-in-law, I have only been away from home for two or three years, how come they are all so outspoken? Let's not mention that Yan'er is also my niece, let's talk about her look that makes people love her. , it’s a blessing for me to be able to raise her for a few days.”
A layer of sadness appeared between Duanmu Yanyu's brows, but she quickly covered it up and asked about her daughter in detail.
Wei Changying told her the part of Duanmu Yan's language that he thought she liked to hear more. He walked and talked, and soon they reached the place where they parted. But Duanmu Yanyu wanted to know how her daughter was doing, so she stood there and refused to leave. Seeing this situation, her sisters-in-law had no choice but to stand with them. After a long while, the servant of the second room awkwardly came forward and told Duanmu Yanyu that it was Shen Shuyi who wanted to go back. When Chi Guoguo started crying, his aunt Su Yuyin took off her bracelet to tease him, his sisters each picked flowers to show him, and his wet nurse carried him to the side... After all methods failed to coax him, Duanmu Yanyu sighed and thanked him. Wei Changying said goodbye and left.
After she left, Su Yuyin was thinking about what was going on in her yard and took her leave. But Mrs. Liu still wanted to stay and said softly: "Second brother and sister, this time I really appreciate your favor, third brother and sister. In the past two years, She really misses Yan'er."
Wei Changying remembered that Duanmu Yanyu had taken the initiative to explain to him what her mother-in-law had told Mrs. Liu just now. He smiled faintly and said, "It's really unfortunate this time. Yan'er also wanted to come back, but something unexpected happened. If the yard I arranged for Yiren was not far from where I live, Aunt Huang arrived quickly, and Doctor Ji arrived soon after receiving the news, I might not have been able to explain to my second sister-in-law. "
What this meant was that the poisonous mushroom incident was indeed real and very dangerous. Shen Shuyan was definitely not still resenting her parents and was deliberately using this as an excuse not to come back.
Mrs. Liu nodded: "How can there be any inextricable hatred between biological mother and daughter? I have been persuading my second younger brother and sister in this way for the past two years."
After hearing this, Wei Changying squinted his eyes, thinking that the second wife would either have only one male heir, Shen Shuyi, otherwise the child might not have peace in the future... Duanmu Yanyu is not very generous, and her biological daughter Shen Shu Even if Yan was arranged to go to Xiliang to relax because of his jealousy, from Duanmu Yanyu's point of view, he was certainly forced to leave by Shen Shuyi... Now Duanmu Yanyu still misses her daughter so much...
While she was thinking about it, she heard Mrs. Liu say, "As for the fourth brother and sister, please take care of the trouble of the third brother and sister. The fifth brother and sister have not been here for a long time, and they have not given birth yet, so they can't help much if they go there. What about the second brother and sister? My heart is so focused on Yi'er that I can't spare any time."
Wei Changying knew that Mrs. Liu was avoiding Duanmu Yanyu because of busyness, but more importantly, she didn't like Pei Meiniang.
In fact, when she arrived at the Tutor's Mansion and saw Pei Meiniang, she politely said that because others were busy, she would come over to see her alone after she came back... Pei Meiniang also sneered and said, "Not to mention the elder sister-in-law and the fifth younger brother and sister. , one is really busy, the other is young and inexperienced, but when she came, she gave me an errand to greet her. She only said that the second sister-in-law - the imperial doctor diagnosed that the baby I was pregnant with was a boy half a month ago, and our The second sister-in-law is afraid that her eyes will be red with jealousy. How can she come to see me? Can she stand it?"
Wei Changying couldn't help but laugh after hearing these words, and lightly slapped her with a fan: "Second sister-in-law is not so narrow-minded, right? What you said is as sharp as a knife."
Pei Meiniang said solemnly: "Third sister-in-law, you don't know! She couldn't give birth to a son herself, so she was forced by her eldest aunt and the second brother's biological mother to take concubines one after another for the second brother. What does it have to do with me? I don't have anything to do with it. Send beautiful concubines to my second brother! But when I went to pay my respects to my eldest aunt, she didn’t say anything, but she acted virtuous in words and secretly advised me to get some concubines for my husband. Get up! What the hell! She deserves to have no biological son and have to be a concubine for the rest of her life!"
Seeing her cursing and her cheeks turning red, Wei Changying hurriedly said: "You! You have such a temper! Stop it now! You are still pregnant now, talk about things, talk about things, why are you angry? What? You also know that you are pregnant with a little nephew, why don’t you think more about him? "
After coaxing Pei Meiniang to calm down, Wei Changying added, "Second sister-in-law just said that, if fourth brother takes concubines or not, then it's not you who has the final say? We all know that even mother will not rashly interfere with you." Even if there are some words about this, why should you pay attention?"
Pei Meiniang said angrily: "Look, I didn't even mention it to my aunt, so why did she come out and talk about it? My sister-in-law didn't even say anything! It's really annoying just thinking about it!"
Wei Changying thought to himself that although his mother-in-law didn't mention it, it didn't necessarily mean it wasn't her idea. In fact, it wasn't necessarily Mrs. Su's idea. Eighty-nine times out of ten, it was Shen Zhou's idea: Shen Zhou had two sons in total, the concubine. He is still young and has not yet been married; his eldest son, Shen Zanghui, has been married for four or five years. Shen Zangfeng, who married in the same year, already has two sons. However, Shen Zanghui has only one daughter, and Shen Shuxi has to be raised by her aunt due to congenital deficiencies. Stay with me in Xiliang for a long time.
In this case, Shen Zanghui only has his wife Pei Meiniang in his room. How can Shen Zhou, the father-in-law, not have any objections? It's just that Shen Zanghui is a soft-spoken guy and is used to listening to his wife. It seems that Shen Zhou privately persuaded him to take a concubine and continue the heirs to no avail, but he couldn't bear to face it and went directly to his wife to talk about it, so he went to ask his sister-in-law.
And Mrs. Su, she has a wife to take care of...
However, although Wei Changying deduced this, he did not say it out loud - wouldn't this make Pei Meiniang, who originally only hated Duanmu Yanyu, hate Mrs. Su as well? She doesn't care much about this.
So Wei Changying immediately changed the subject: "I thought you would ask me to ask Xi'er as soon as we met."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Pei Meiniang's face, and then she said sadly: "Third sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, how could I not miss her? I just think that it was my eldest sister who sent her to Xiliang before, and I feel really sad and guilty. .So when I saw my sister-in-law, I wanted to ask, but I didn’t dare to ask.”
Wei Changying sighed: "I can't blame you entirely. After all, the fourth brother won't go to Xiliang. It's not a big deal for you young couple to be separated from each other for many years. Besides, the fourth brother is on duty here, and during the holidays, there are many people coming and going. , it’s troublesome for him not to have a good wife to help him. Fortunately, eldest sister likes Xi’er very much. If you feel bad, you might as well thank eldest sister properly in the future.”
Pei Meiniang nodded vigorously and said: "Since the eldest sister came forward and said that she would take Xi'er to Xiliang and live there forever, I have treated her as my biological sister!"
Next, Wei Changying told her in detail Shen Shuxi's experience after going to Xiliang. Pei Meiniang couldn't help but cry a few times while listening. Wei Changying had to remind her that she was pregnant and her emotions should not fluctuate...
Only in the evening did she have time to return to Jintong Courtyard.
After returning home, I found out that just half an hour ago, Mrs. Liu and Shen Shujing had dragged Shen Shuming over to apologize.
Because he misjudged the timing of Wei Changying's return, only Shen Zangfeng taught Shen Shuguang in the front yard. When he learned that his eldest sister-in-law and niece had brought their nephew to apologize, Shen Zangfeng refused to accept anything he said. After repeatedly giving in, Liu heard that Wei Changying's return was uncertain, and was finally persuaded to leave by Shen Zangfeng.
However, she came with a ruler, and between the time she apologized and the time she left, Shen Shuming received a good beating. Rao he was having the text and good martial arts, and he had a good training of martial arts. He was very thick and thick, and he couldn't help crying. He couldn't help crying.
Wei Changying came back late and happened to miss the excitement, which saved trouble.
It's just that Shen Shuguang saw what happened from head to toe. When he saw her returning, he rushed to her and dragged her skirt and cried bitterly: "Father said that if the child is disobedient, he will beat the child just like the eldest aunt beat the elder brother today! "
Although Shen Zangfeng had been watching his son's little trick of making accusations, and tried to undermine it afterwards, but now he couldn't help but sullen when he heard this nonsense in front of his face, and got really angry: "Where did you learn to talk nonsense?! Xiaoxiao If you don't learn well at this age, do you want to kneel in the ancestral hall?"
Wei Changying frowned and picked up his son. He ignored her husband and asked, "What is going on?"
Shen Shuguang was afraid of his father. When he was scolded by his father, he originally thought about letting his mother speak out and not letting his father teach him. Suddenly he couldn't speak anymore and just pulled his mother's sleeve and sobbed.
Shen Zangfeng looked at him with a cold face until he saw that he did not dare to cry, and then explained to his wife: "Just now after my sister-in-law and the others left, Guang'er asked my sister-in-law if it was too heavy to hit Ming'er. I explained that I did something wrong. It really deserves punishment... That's it, this little guy is talking nonsense like this! Do you think he can be disciplined?"
"You kid, why did you lie to your mother?" Although Wei Changying doted on his son, he also knew that if he continued to indulge, Shen Shuguang's mind would be completely distorted. He frowned slightly and scolded softly.
Shen Shuguang was dejected for a long time. He couldn't think of how to get off the stage, so he had to continue to use childish methods - he started sobbing again and said, "My child is wrong."
My cousin is lying! The cheats he gave are not useful at all! It was only the second day after my mother came back, and she actually helped my father to question me!
...Wait a minute, my eldest cousin is so powerful, yet he was beaten like that by my eldest aunt today!
It seems... I, I was defrauded of the monthly money I had saved for three months! ! ! (To be continued)
