Although she couldn't send her eldest son to Ruiyu Hall for a change of environment, when Wei Changying returned to the other courtyard sadly, she didn't want to have a surprise waiting for her - Wei Changfeng was here!
When he first heard the disciple's report, Wei Changying couldn't believe it! When he entered the door, he saw a man who was much taller than when he left the cabinet, and his childish eyebrows were relaxed. He sat down with a man full of the freshness of books, and Wei Zhang Yingcai cried with joy: "You Why are you here?"
"Sister, you have so many big things going on here, how can your family rest assured?" Wei Changfeng arrived unexpectedly. It was almost dark at this time. He had already waited for two hours and even had dinner.
Even if Guard Chief Ying is not here, it is certainly impossible that no one will entertain him in the other courtyard.
However, Huo Qingling and Shen Zangning were both female relatives, and Wei Changfeng was young and unmarried, so it was inconvenient for him to come out to greet them, so he called Shen Shuguang over - it was just the right time for his uncle and nephew to get close to each other.
At this moment, he was sitting not far away from Shen Shuguang, who was seriously entertaining his uncle, and on his knee was Shen Shuxie, who was making a milky voice. When he saw his sister coming in, he thought of greeting her, but she stepped on his arm happily and tried to climb up. Shen Shuxie on his shoulder was dissatisfied - this boy was even more naughty than his elder brother at his age. If he was dissatisfied, he would just raise his head and bite his uncle's neck without saying a word!
Seeing this situation, everyone including Wei Changying and Shen Shuguang were shocked and quickly gathered around to coax Shen Shuxie to relax.
At any rate, Shen Shuxie was pulled off angrily, and the tooth marks on Wei Changfeng's fair neck were already bruised. Although he couldn't see it himself, he knew from the pain that the bite was serious. He sighed and held it down with a handkerchief, laughing and scolding: "You heartless boy, my uncle has been holding you for a long time, but I just want to let you down. If you don't want to, just say no to your uncle? You actually bite him... I'll make you look ugly in front of your great-grandmother!"
Wei Changying was scolding Shen Shuxie, but he was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Xie'er is not good, a lesson is a lesson, how can you say he is ugly!" What if he is really cursed by this kid!
Wei Changfeng depressedly took out a handkerchief and pressed the wound, and said: "Just talking... Sister, you just went to see your brother-in-law? Is your brother-in-law okay now? How is the situation in the imperial capital?"
"He's very busy there. The Imperial Capital... What else can the Imperial Capital do? It's a mess... I've been here in the other courtyard these days, so I can't explain it clearly. You can ask your brother-in-law later." Wei Changying sighed, Asking someone to get the medicine for the wound, "Didn't Chen Fu come to the house already? Why are you here again?"
"Chen Fu is a servant, how can he compare with me?" Wei Changfeng said.
When Wei Changying saw that his servants had brought the medicine for injuries - because of Shen Lianshi, there were so many of these medicines readily available in other courtyards - he put Shen Shuxie down on the ground and asked Shen Shuguang to coax him to the side. He went to play, took the medicine and rubbed it on his younger brother. He said, "My mother is pregnant again now. If you don't serve me at home, why do you come to my place?"
Wei Changfeng sighed repeatedly: "I knew you would say this, eldest sister - do you think our family will be short of someone to take care of my mother? I am at home, I go there morning and evening to say hello, and I have to trouble my mother to say hello to me. Come here, eldest sister. , Grandma and mother are more relieved."
"Is everyone in the family okay?" Although she had just cross-examined Chen Fuli when he came a few days ago, she couldn't help but ask them one by one at this moment.
Wei Changfeng said everything, of course everything was good, so he was released.
"Thank you so much!" Wei Changying has regretted many times since he came out of the cabinet that his mother's family is too far away, and it is extremely difficult for married people to see each other again. But if it hadn't been like this, she would have been like Song Zaishui during the changes in the imperial capital, and her mother-in-law's family would have been greatly devastated - just thinking about it made her feel unbearable.
Thinking of Song Zaishui, Wei Changying couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, do you know how his old man is doing now?"
"A few days ago, my fourth uncle and I went to the south of the Yangtze River to visit him." Wei Changfeng sighed silently and said, "My grandfather didn't know how he used to be, but now he is very old. His hair is full of white hair, and his back is stooped. However, For the sake of my cousins, I still managed to support them. It was just that my grandfather and grandmother originally asked me to stay with him at Jiangnan Hall for two nights, but after staying for two nights, the housekeeper of Jiangnan Hall told us privately that we would see my grandfather in the daytime. He hid in tears at night because when he saw us, he thought of his uncle and cousin.”
"..." Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said, "What happened next?"
"What happened next? Of course we said goodbye on the third day. Now my grandfather is holding on with only one heart. What if it makes things worse for him?" Wei Changfeng said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.
The two siblings were silent for a moment, and Wei Changying also gave him the medicine.
After looking around, she asked her servants to take her two sons back to the house first, leaving only her confidants to wait on her. After clearing the place, Wei Changfeng was about to speak, but Wei Changfeng asked first: "Sister, second brother, third brother, they... couldn't break through?"
Wei Changying was startled for a moment before he realized that the second and third brothers he was asking about were his cousins from his mother's family. Because of the conflict between Wei Zhenghong's room and Wei Shengyi's room, as well as the death of his second aunt Duanmu, Wei Changying had not visited his uncle's door for several years. Since her heart was alienated, she had even forgotten that it was not just her two aunts who died in her natal family due to the changes in the imperial capital.
At this moment, when my brother asked, I felt a little surprised: "I haven't heard any news in these days... Haven't all the things in the tomb been sent back to Fengzhou?"
Wei Changfeng sighed: "I know, I'll just ask."
After a moment of pause, he said, "I just remembered that the year before you came out of the cabinet, eldest sister, the third brother returned to Fengzhou from the imperial capital to serve his grandparents... Although we have not met a few times, there are not many brothers of our generation. Now three brothers are gone all of a sudden. indivual… "
Wei Changying heard the hint of loneliness and sadness in his tone, and couldn't help but said: "Fourth brother, seventh brother, are you okay now?"
"It's okay." Wei Changfeng said after a moment of silence, "It's just that the fourth brother is not very talented in schoolwork, and now he has taken a leave of absence from school to learn to manage the industry. The seventh brother is obsessed with learning, but because he is too obsessed, besides I usually don’t see other people when greeting my elders.” He smiled a little self-deprecatingly, “Think about the years before you left the cabinet, eldest sister. Although you always bullied me, those years were the most lively and least lonely.”
"Aren't we going to have a younger brother or younger sister?" If Wei Changfeng had come to tell him that he was lonely at home, Wei Changying would probably have ignored him and might even have laughed at him. But after the big change in her husband's family, the Taifu's mansion, which used to be lively and noisy, suddenly became deserted and miserable. Only then did Wei Changying feel the sadness and powerlessness of the banquet.
After being stunned for a moment, she forced a smile and reminded, "Even though we are much different in age, we are still our compatriots."
Wei Changfeng muttered, "He's my younger brother. My father has already given me a name. He's called Changjie."
"Wei Changjie?" Wei Changying read it again and said, "He will be born by the end of the year."
"Yes." Wei Changfeng nodded.
The two siblings were silent for a moment. Wei Changfang broke the silence and said, "Sister, have you discovered something?"
Chief Wei Ying was startled and said: "What?"
"Guang'er is six years old, and he hasn't officially started enlightenment yet. His daily homework is actually taught by your niece, a girl who is said to be only four years older than Guang'er?" Wei Changfeng frowned and said, "Me too. It’s not that I look down on women, but I’ve heard that your niece is a famous child goddess in the imperial capital! But what she is best at is clearly romantic poetry and poetry. Although she has dabbled in classics, it is not a routine at all! One thing... It’s okay if you teach a playboy who just doesn’t care about feasting. You and your brother-in-law’s eldest son will take over the family business in the future, how can you let such a little girl teach you?”
These words made Wei Changying change his face and said in astonishment: "Is this so? I thought that since Yan'er has always been praised by the father-in-law, there is no problem in giving Guang'er some enlightenment."
Although there are several masters and servants in the family who are involved in civil affairs, they all have things to do, and the one who has the most leisure time and is the best teacher is Shen Shuyan. When Wei Changying was the eldest lady, she was a master who liked martial arts and disliked literature. She had been nurtured in Ruiyu Hall for more than ten years, and in terms of talent and learning, she was not as good as her niece. In addition, Shen Shuyan has always been known as a child prodigy, so she felt that Shen Shuyan must be very talented.
Now when Wei Changfeng said it, he was immediately at a loss.
Wei Changfeng sighed and said: "Sister, you... you didn't pay much attention to your studies, so you didn't pay attention to this enlightenment. If you are an ordinary person or a young man who doesn't care, you can choose a servant who can read well. But if you have high hopes, you must pay attention to and train every aspect from the beginning, and make sure the foundation is impeccable!”
He gave an example, "Otherwise, why did my grandparents have to invite a famous person from home and abroad to teach me? When a tall building rises from the ground, the foundation is the most important! The subsequent lessons are more important to personal understanding!"
Speaking of this, Guard Chief Ying Da felt ashamed and hurriedly humbly asked: "What about now?"
"Didn't I come?" Wei Changfeng rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile, "I heard that you allocated a Tiaocui Building here for Guang'er to study, so you simply arranged for me to live there, starting tomorrow. , let me teach him. Fortunately, Guang'er was young and didn't learn much even after being taught by his cousin for a few days. Otherwise, according to the little girl's teaching method, he would concentrate on reciting poems and writing poems. I see it’s too late for you and your brother-in-law to cry!”
Of course it’s too late to cry!
Not to mention the eldest son who is expected to inherit the family business, even the second son Shen Shuxie, Wei Changying hopes that he can be more pragmatic! Shen Zangfeng and she are not very interested in reciting poems and writing poems...
Wei Changying suddenly lost his mood to comfort his younger brother who had been lonely for the past few years. Qian Dingzhuwan told him: "Then I will leave Guang'er to you, and you must teach him well!" (To be continued)
