However, after Shen Lang woke up, there was no bad news in the palace - maybe it was because he was too young? Can’t see it now? In fact, after Shen Shuxi recovered from the acupuncture, everyone in the Shen family looked at her anxiously, not knowing whether it was good or bad. It was not until Shen Shuxi gradually grew up after arriving in Xiliang. Although she was not as talented and beautiful as Shen Shuyan when she was taught by her cousin Shen Shuyan, she was still smarter than ordinary children, so everyone felt relieved.
Therefore, Duanmu Xinmiao said that because Queen Mother Deng delayed his diagnosis and treatment, he might become stupid, but it was only very possible. Maybe he is very lucky, like Shen Shuxi
Although he felt pity for the little prince, it had little to do with him. Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao sighed with emotion and then let it go. Seeing the days passing by, Shen Zangfeng had been guarding Yanzhou but still hadn't returned. It had been a year... Wei Changying missed him in his heart.
But although Yanzhou is far away from the capital city, but her parents-in-law are here, she is still the young lady of the family, and there is no way she can go to Yanzhou to find a husband. So I had to ask my mother-in-law secretly and secretly when would my husband come back
Mrs. Su also felt that it was really aggrieved that Wei Changying had only been with her husband for a few years, but she had to say goodbye to her husband twice. After comforting her for a few words, he went to talk to Shen Xuan: "Since the Rong people have withdrawn their troops and the situation in Yanzhou is not too tight, should we let Feng'er come back first? After all, Guang'er and Xie'er are still young now, and Chang Ying It’s not easy for one person to be the head of a household and take care of two grandchildren.”
Shen Xuan frowned and said: "Let's talk after the New Year. Please note that the Rong people have gathered in the king's tent but have not dispersed yet. Maybe the third prince has taken care of his eldest brother and will send his troops south again?"
Since it was for war, there was nothing we could do.
After Wei Changying heard her mother-in-law convey this meaning tactfully, she sighed secretly and returned to Jintong Courtyard listlessly.
Who would have thought that after returning to the courtyard, there was even worse news waiting for her - Mrs. Huang came up to her with a solemn expression and said: "If the young lady doesn't come back, I will send someone to invite you: The Song family has just I sent someone here and said... Lord Sikong, he doesn’t seem to be well!”
Wei Changying was shocked when he heard this!
Although Song Yu has been suffering from illness for many years, everyone knows that he is just dragging it out for this long, but seeing him dragging it out day by day, are you still hoping that maybe he can get better? Or delay it for a few more years? What would happen... Her hands and feet felt cold for a moment, and she was stunned for a moment before saying, "What about now?"
As soon as Mrs. Huang heard that she actually asked this question, she knew that the news was too sudden. Wei Changying was a little confused in his anxiety and hurriedly reminded him: "You have to hurry up! Master Sikong didn't want to see you before, saying he was afraid. My feelings are touched. But now, Mr. Song has sent someone to invite you... to meet him!"
This kind of matter was very urgent. If you were too late, you might be gone forever. Wei Changying didn't have time to ask his mother-in-law for instructions, so he directly told his servant to go to the upper room and said that he hurriedly dispatched the carriage and horses and led his eldest son who was doing homework. We drove all the way to the Sikong Mansion. Thank God there were no cries inside. The doorman had already given instructions, and the old servant who led the way was waiting in front of the door and hurriedly invited her in.
At this time, he didn't care that Song Yu looked at the father and son who were both men in the inner room. Wei Changying picked up his son and walked in quickly. However, under the half-rolled embroidered curtain, his uncle Song Yu looked as withered as a skeleton. He looked as if he was alive. People - Thinking of his gentle voice when he saw his uncle for the first time after leaving the cabinet, Wei Changying felt so sad that he immediately shed tears!
If Song Yuwang hadn't still had a little light in his eyes and his chest was rising and falling slightly at this time, it would have looked like he was in a state of paralysis. Since Shen Shuguang could remember, although he had met his uncle several times with his grandfather and other elders, and had been hugged by him, at that time Song Yuwang had not yet reached such a state of insignificance. Seeing this scene at this moment, I couldn't help but be a little scared and a little curious. I grabbed my mother's skirt with my little hands and looked at him, timidly and silently.
Song Zaitian, who was described as haggard, sat silently aside, staring blankly not far away. He neither greeted his cousin nor cried, but he gave off an aura of sadness that was greater than death.
Wei Changying didn't need to ask his cousin now. He took Shen Shuguang and knelt beside Song Yu's couch, crying sadly: "Uncle? Uncle? My niece and Guang'er came to see you. You... do you remember? Niece?"
Song Yu hoped that Xu could not see very well, and it was difficult to listen. Wei Changying shouted several times, and the louder he shouted, the louder he shouted. Then he responded with two hoarse sounds, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Chang Ying." … Win?”
"It's my niece. My niece brought Guang'er to see you." Wei Changying never imagined that this uncle would be gone now, and looking at his depleted appearance, he didn't know how much torture he had to endure these days. today. She had come to visit several times before, but Song Yuwang didn't even say she was there. However, when the Grand Master and others came, he would see her occasionally.
At that time, Wei Changying felt a little aggrieved. How could he say that he was his biological niece, and he was really worried about his uncle? Why wouldn't he even be allowed to see her
Now that I see Song Yuwang looking like this, I realize how hard it is for my uncle to survive. It's strange that he doesn't even want to see his niece. He is obviously afraid that seeing one more person will waste more energy. That would be equivalent to shortening his life. As for the Grand Master and others, he had to deal with it for the sake of the Song family.
Although Song Yuwang had only one breath left, his thoughts seemed to be clear. After hearing this, he tilted his head to the side with great effort, and said angrily: "Guang'er has grown up a lot now, right?"
Wei Changying hurriedly pushed Shen Shuguang forward: "Your uncle is calling you!"
Shen Shuguang called uncle, and Song Yuwang responded with a smile. He slightly raised his voice and told Song Zaitian: "The set of Four Treasures of the Study at the bottom of the dark room in my study should be given to Guang'er later." He added, "The penultimate one." Give it to Xie'er. Just think about it."
When Wei Changying heard that he was making arrangements for his death, he couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, he should have advised Song Yuwang to think more openly and say some words of encouragement and comfort. But with Song Yu looking like this, saying that he would get better was undoubtedly coaxing a three-year-old child.
So she couldn't say anything except sobbing.
On the contrary, after Song Yuwang asked his son to leave a set of four treasures in the study for each of his two nephews, he calmly said to her: "Your mother is my only sister. It is a pity that after she went to Fengzhou, she and I were reunited. I have never seen her before. Originally, I had been telling Zaitian to take good care of their aunt in the future, but now that your father is well and everything has been fine since you came out of the cabinet, I heard that Changfeng is also successful in studying... I want to come to her. It’s a blessing in disguise, and things will get better in the future. But if I can’t do it, I’ll have to ask her to take care of you and my cousins more in the future.”
Wei Changying saw that he was asking for help and agreed with tears in his eyes.
Then I heard Song Yuwang say: "Your grandmother has passed away, but your grandfather is still here. When Changfeng marries Miss Su's family, someone will take charge of the backyard. Please don't forget to return to Jiangnan, mother." Go and visit, so that your father will not be miserable at his knees."
Next, he told many trivial matters one by one, and gradually his words became clearer and more coherent, and his voice became much louder - clearly a flashback - Wei Changying became more and more sad as he listened, and tears couldn't help falling on the edge of the couch. Shen Shu Guang was still young and didn't understand the pain of separation and death. He looked blankly at his uncle on the couch and then at his mother, then obediently raised his sleeves to wipe his mother's tears.
He didn't know how long he had been talking, but Song Yuwang seemed to have finished saying everything he wanted to say. He thought for a moment and sighed softly: "Good boy, please take Guang'er out to sit for a while. I also want to talk to Zaitian."
Knowing that his uncle can't last long now, once he regains his health... Wei Changying's heart is in a mess and empty, but he doesn't dare to delay. He sobs and says to Song Zaitian who is silently beside him: "Brother, come here, uncle wants to talk to you. ." He hugged Shen Shuguang and hurriedly exited the inner room and ran all the way to the outside corridor. He had no time to pay attention to his surroundings. He just held his son with one hand and covered his mouth with his sleeve, crying silently!
She didn't know how long she had been crying, but she felt someone wanted to take Shen Shuguang from her arms. She just said it was Huang, so she let go and let the other person hug him, and she leaned on the other person's shoulder and cried sadly. But she heard Shen Shuguang shout: "Grandma!"
Wei Changying cried twice more before he tried his best to stop. When he looked up, it was indeed his mother-in-law, Mrs. Su. The autumn-colored jacket on her shoulders was already stained with water from her crying. And it wasn't just Mrs. Su who was there, many people had already arrived outside at some point behind her.
In addition to the in-laws of the Song family, the father and brother of the eldest wife Huo, the parents of the second wife Min, Taibao Su Pingzhan and Su Mao, and Shen Xuan and his wife because Wei Changying is also considered a relative of Song Yuwang in these two generations, But there was Duanmu Xinmiao, looking at the door of the inner room with a frown.
I think that even if Song Yuwang has been ill for many years and holds the position of Sikong, no matter whether it is his participation in politics for more than ten years or his current status as the head of the Jiangnan Song family, he will die and the other five clans will not be able to come. Get one for free. Especially now that the Song family is not unified, even if there are other Song clan members in the imperial capital, Song Zaitian can't support himself. Because he has been serving his father for a long time, his own health is not good. Everyone comes to support him, so that Song Yu will not look behind. Now in the imperial capital It is not the same as Jiangnan Hall, and Duan Hui Gong is also old. He may not be able to bear the pain of losing his wife and son within two years. Some people in the clan have some evil intentions.
Er was there to comfort Song Zaitian, and Duanmu Xing actually brought his granddaughters over.
When Guard Chief Ying ran out of the inner room, he was too grief-stricken to notice them at all. Now that he saw them, he wiped his face carelessly, choked with sobs, and went back to bow to everyone and apologize. At this time, the powerful ministers did not care about it, and said a few words absently, such as she was doing pure filial piety and it was not a breach of etiquette.
But just after saying these words, I heard a painful cry from the inner room, saying: "Father!"
Everyone looked stunned!
Wei Changying looked at the inner room in surprise, and was about to run back when he heard the Grand Master whisper: "Sikong dislikes me Duanmu for some reason. Now I don't want to stand in front of him anymore. Please go in and have a look."
Everyone except the Grand Master crowded into the inner room. They saw that Song Yuwang was still breathing, but his face was even more gray than before. He was already on his deathbed. Su Pingzhan and Shen Xuan looked at each other and went up together. When I talked to him before, I didn't bother to be polite at this time. I asked him if he had any unsolved problems that he could help with
Even Taiwei Liu Siyuan then promised to do his best to take care of the Song family in the future... At this time, Wei Changying was completely speechless and stood behind Madam Su holding her arm, weeping blankly.
While everyone was making promises, they heard Song Yuwang seem to say something... Su Pingzhan said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be quiet! Let's listen to what Hua Qing has to say!"
After he calmed down, he heard Song Yuwang say weakly: "I... don't... willing... to do it!"
Su Pingzhan was startled and sighed: "Hua Qing, you..." Before he could say what he wanted to say, Wei Changying saw from the crowd that his uncle's head suddenly tilted, and his chest, which was originally weak as nothing, suddenly After calming down, those eyes that exuded the last light of life were still looking at the sloping roof, with endless nostalgia and unwillingness for the human world.
"Father!" Song Zaitian shouted sadly. Before anyone could persuade him to express condolences, his body swayed and he fell directly on the couch... (To be continued)
