Because he had made up his mind to deal with Shen Shuyan and Shen Shuxi, Wei Changying asked the messenger to tell Huo Qingling and Shen Zangzhu privately: "The third lady wants to talk to the fourth and fifth ladies alone." The implication is that the third lady wants to talk to the fourth and fifth ladies alone. Just ask these two to stop protecting them.
Huo Qingling just paid it back. She had not raised Shen Shuyan for a long time, and she was not in good health, so she had no time to care for herself. To be honest, the love for Shen Shuyan may not be that of Chief Wei Yingshen who once raised Shen Shuyan as his own daughter for a year or two. What's more, Wei Changying is now the head of the family. Huo Qingling is also the youngest among the sisters-in-law, and he does not hesitate to obey his sister-in-law's orders.
But Shen Zangzhu has single-handedly brought Shen Shuxi to the present since she was a child, especially in the Xiangning County residence where only her aunt and nephew are left to depend on each other. Therefore, Shen Zangzhu could be said to hold this niece in his mouth for fear of melting, and hold it in his hands for fear of falling. Although she was usually sleepy, she was busy cheering up at this moment, regardless of the words of the people sent by Wei Changying. , accompany Shen Shuxi here in person.
When their aunt and nephew arrived, Shen Shuyan had already arrived first.
However, although Shen Shuyan got there first, she was not taken to her aunt to be scolded.
Instead, he was left hanging in the main hall.
Today, Wei Changying moved his family affairs to the side room, but used the main hall as a place to punish his two nieces.
So Shen Zangzhu took Shen Shuxi's hand and entered the door anxiously, only to see that there was no one in the hall. Two frightened little maids in the hall secretly glanced at the distance not far away with tears in their eyes. Shen Shuyan pinched the hem of her clothes tightly with her little hands.
Seeing Shen Shuyan standing against the wall, Shen Zangzhu thought she had lost her temper again. She looked around and asked curiously: "Your third aunt hasn't come out yet?"
"Third aunt is giving instructions in the side room and asked me to stand here." Shen Shuyan turned her head, gouged out her eyes at the little maid, and said bitterly, "You even sent this person here to watch me! "
Shen Zangzhu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Shen Shuxi who was holding her hand: "That Xi'er...?"
"Third aunt told Lianju in front of me that when fifth sister arrived, she did the same as me and stood there first. Let's wait until third aunt finished giving her instructions before we talk!" Shen Shuyan has always been smart. When she saw the hall aunt accompanying her cousin, she said, Knowing that things had turned around, he worked harder to express his grievances, with tears in his big eyes, and cried, "I said I wanted to apologize to my fourth brother, but they refused! I said I wanted to apologize to my third aunt. , still not allowed... In short, I can't leave this room now, I can't sit, I can't lean, I can't lie down, I have to stand here all the time, and I'm not even allowed to drink water! "
In fact, she didn't come very early, she only had a cup of tea, and she was exhausted at first sight, and she was far from even tired. However, she has always been doted on by elders other than her father, especially her third aunt Wei Changying, who has always treated her like a daughter. She suddenly turned against her. In Shen Shuyan's heart, the grievance and hurt she felt from being punished was more severe than the fatigue the punishment itself made her.
"This..." Shen Zangzhu heard about what happened to her, and looked at Shen Shuxi who looked surprised and seemed to be frightened. She immediately felt distressed and almost immediately went to the side room to talk to her sister-in-law to ask her to save her. Punishment for two kids. But as soon as she moved her feet, she thought of Wei Changying punishing these two nieces because they almost hurt Shen Shuxie. Then it would be unreasonable for her to say such things in the past - Shen Shuxie is Wei Changying's Son, it is only natural for a mother to feel sorry for her son.
After all, she was not shameless enough to force her sister-in-law not to seek justice for her son. After thinking about it, she had to say to Shen Shuxi: "Since your third aunt has spoken, you can stand here with your sister first. I'll go. Side house.”
Shen Shuxi and Wei Zhangying hadn't seen each other much, and her hurt feeling at the moment was far less intense than that of Shen Shuyan. Moreover, she believed in her aunt. After hearing this, she obediently walked over and stood with her cousin.
Shen Shuyan secretly prayed that her aunt's intercession would work...
And Shen Zangzhu straightened her dress, walked to the side room, and wanted to go in, but was stopped by the maid at the door. She said with a smile: "Madam just called some stewards to talk about New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month. I told you not to disturb me... Madam, do you think so?"
It was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and it was appropriate for Wei Changying to supervise his subordinates at this juncture.
However - it is also possible that these have been prepared for a long time, and they are just deliberately avoiding seeing them at this moment. In order to punish Shen Shuyan and Shen Shuxi a little longer.
Shen Zangzhu was also the head of both her natal family and her husband's family back then. If her husband hadn't gotten sick and passed away early, it would not be Song Zaishui's turn to take charge of the backyard of the Qingzhou Su family now. She usually looks gentle and tolerant, but she also has success in her heart. So she changed her mind and said, "In that case, I'll just wait here."
The maid hurriedly said: "As for Madam Auntie, the ground dragon in the west wing is also burning. My maid will make you a pot of good tea..."
"No need, it's boring to stay in the house all day long." Shen Zangzhu said to her kindly, "It's rare to go out for a walk, it's time to get some air." His eyes fell on almost every yard in this season. Then one or two of the twelfth lunar month trees said with a faint smile, "The plum blossoms are blooming over there, and the ice and snow look so pretty. I'll go take a look. When the three younger brothers and sisters are free, you can send someone to call me." "
After saying that, without waiting for the maid to think of anything else, she put on her fox fur, rolled up her sleeves, and asked her maid to lift the curtain, and then walked down the courtyard to the wintersweet tree.
This twelfth lunar month tree was planted in the corner of the courtyard, with railings on both sides - the corridor is inside the railings.
Originally, the corridor was just elevated to prevent moisture, but due to Shen Shuxie's health, after Wei Changying returned to Xiliang, he asked the craftsmen to rush to work and rebuilt the corridor. It was sealed with clear colored glass, leaving only a thick curtain at the steps for entry and exit. In this way, Shen Shuxie doesn't have to worry about the cold in winter when walking among the corridors. It is also the love of Shen Zangfeng and his wife.
Originally, if Shen Zangzhu wanted to appreciate the plum blossoms, he could have asked someone to wipe off the water mist on the glass where the plum branches touched, but he could still see clearly. Although it is not as good as going to the plum blossoms in person, the good news is that you don’t have to endure the wind and snow.
Now Shen Zangzhu walked directly into the snow...
The maid guarding the door knew that the eldest aunt was suffering from the grief of Uncle Xiangning's house, and she was as sickly as the sixth lady in the house. Even though she was wearing a fox fur and her entourage was holding a heater, how could she stay in the court with the howling north wind and heavy snowfall
If he fell ill because of this, others would say that Wei Changying bullied his eldest sister-in-law, knowing that her eldest sister-in-law was not in good health, but just ignored her. As a result, Shen Zangzhu was frozen out... Su Yuyin was deprived of the power of housekeeper for some reason. Isn't this one of the evidences that Wei Changying wants to attack his sister-in-law and sister-in-law
This maid was sent to guard the door, and she was also somewhat clever. Not daring to stop Shen Zangzhu, he picked up her skirt and chased her into the snow, trying every possible means to persuade her.
However, Shen Zangzhu knew her fear very well, so he just smiled and ignored her at all.
Sure enough, the maid couldn't hold on any longer, so she went to the corridor and asked her companions to go in and ask the guard chief Ying for instructions.
In fact, the guard chief Ying didn't mean to miss the sister-in-law on purpose. He was really checking with several stewards about the preparations for the New Year's supplies.
Knowing that Shen Zangzhu used this method to force him to go out to see her, Wei Changying felt even more unhappy - she had already interrogated her clearly yesterday, and Niu Shi and others were locked in the room and could not watch Shen Shuxie's passing. It was not completely dominated by Shen Shuyan as she initially thought. Whether it was Shen Shuxie or Shen Shuxi, Shen Shuyan was instigating it.
After all, Shen Shuyan is the oldest.
When she asked, she found out that it was Shen Shuxi who had done this!
It is said that Shen Shuxie played with his two sisters for a while while his aunt and maid were watching, and he felt that it was very boring to not allow this or that.
Shen Shuxi quietly came up with the idea of tricking Niu and others into the house and letting Shen Shuxie escape from the inner window... The reason why Niu and Lianzhu knew about it was because of the people in front of Shen Shuyan. A little maid, Lianzhu's cousin, told her secretly.
Wei Changying felt that although he had not raised Shen Shuxi as he had done to Shen Shuyan, he had not treated her badly, right? What does this do
Having just found out that Shen Zangzhu had violated his own instructions and accompanied Shen Shuxi over, Wei Changying was a little unhappy. She felt that the reason why she taught her two nieces this time was not because she felt sorry for her son. People always have to grow up. How could they live a lifetime of being innocent? What's more, it's not too much to ask them to share the family's worries, to provide them with fine clothes and food, to use them like jewels, and not to cause trouble for the family, right
She didn't plan to do anything to them. She was forced to stand all morning, type a few sentences, and at most let them copy some books.
Shen Zangzhu followed him eagerly, as if he was afraid that something would happen to Shen Shuxi... She also didn't think about how Wei Changying would punish Shen Shuxi now that she was here. If he pleads for mercy in public, his prestige will be greatly damaged if he fails to do so, and Shen Zangzhu's face will be damaged if he fails to do so!
When you dote on your children, you should also consider your feelings and think about what the children you doted on have done. What if something really goes wrong with my son this time, what do you think our relative will do? Do you want me to endure it
So Wei Changying felt angry in his heart, and with a cold face, he sent the stewards to check it himself, then stood up and said: "Since eldest sister insists on meeting me here, then I will invite her in."
Outside, Shen Zangzhu used this method to force Wei Changying to show up. Seeing that his sister-in-law looked unhappy, he knew that he had offended her. After the two met, she was about to say a few words and soft words to lighten the atmosphere. But she didn't expect Wei Changying to invite her calmly: "I was discussing with the stewards just now. There are a few questions that I'm not sure about. Big sister is here just in time, why don't we go in and listen together, and also give me a hand, okay?" "
This immediately implies that she is indeed busy with something and is not deliberately trying to avoid seeing her. And Shen Zangzhu's hand forced her to come out to greet him, which was obviously disturbing her business.
Shen Zangzhu really suspected that she was hiding from him. Hearing his sister-in-law's tactful revelation, Shen Zangzhu blushed slightly and said, "How do I understand what my third brother and sister said? Speaking of which, I have been in the greenhouse every day these days. , I'm so bored! When I saw this wintersweet tree, I couldn't help but want to come down and take a walk and break off a few branches... Well, before I even picked it out, the third younger sister came to talk to the maid in front of me. That's right? The maid is kind-hearted, but she's too cautious. I'm not made of tofu. How can I disturb my three younger siblings by walking these few steps?" (To be continued)
