The matter of the third bedroom may not be a big deal, but as a married woman, Wei Changying doesn't have to worry about it.
It was a rare opportunity for her to return to her parents' home, so she just ignored it.
On the day he arrived in Fengzhou, Wei Changying must have been visiting and serving his direct elders at his own home. But since Wei Huan's condition is not critical, he will visit nearby relatives from the next day.
The first person to go was Duke Jingping's mansion - Duke Jingping, Wei Huan's brother, died of illness a few years ago. Since Wei Zhengya, the eldest son of Duke Jingping, died, the heir to the title was Wei Changxu.
Wei Changxu seemed very enthusiastic about the visit to Wei Changying's family, as if Wei Zhengya's death had nothing to do with Wei Huan's family.
This is not surprising. Although Wei Changxu's branch is the legitimate eldest son, the current situation clearly shows that Wei Huan's branch is the most powerful. Not to mention that the Wei Dynasty died not long ago. Whether Duke Jingping can get a title in the future is still a problem, and Wei Huan has Wei Xinyong.
If he still fights against Wei Huan... No matter how much Wei Changxu bears grudge against his father, he has to think about his descendants.
More than ten years have passed, and Wei Changxu's descendants have increased. The ninth son, Wei Changlin, and the tenth son, Wei Gao'an, have also gotten married and have children. Jingping Gongfu also has the meaning of bustling and prosperous heirs.
But among Mr. Sun and Miss Sun who were called out to pay tribute to their cousin's family, the one who stood out the most was the eldest Mr. Sun, Wei Shanshi.
Wei Shanshi, who had already tied up his hair at the age of 30, was tall, handsome, with piercing eyes and dignified and elegant manners. He was the kind of boy most admired by the gentry.
Even Shen Zangfeng repeatedly praised him as "calm, wise and graceful".
In Duke Jingping's generation, the one who was second to Wei Shanshi was Wei Changxian's adopted heir Liu Zhuan. In terms of conversation, he was actually more insightful than Wei Shanshi, but he looked exactly like Liu Youzhao. , looks delicate and feminine, without saying a few words, two red clouds appeared on her pale face, which made her look petty and not as generous as Wei Shanshi.
As for the nieces, although Wei Changying praised them one by one just like her husband, secretly she felt that those who were not as good as her husband's nieces Shen Shujing and Shen Shuyan would probably be the same as Shen Shuxi - yes A typical lady, but not enough to be unforgettable at first sight.
After the ceremony was over, Wei Changxu's wife, Su, invited Wei Changying to sit in the back hall, leaving the front hall for their husbands and sons to talk.
Before Wei Changying came out of the cabinet, he didn't have much contact with the hall sister-in-law, but his impression was not bad and he never had any bad relations. After not seeing each other for many years, they couldn't help but feel particularly close to each other, so the two of them resigned together. The Ninth Lady Song and the Tenth Lady Qian had never met Wei Changying before, so they were accompanying them at the moment.
Although the second young lady Wei Changxian was greeted by Wei Changying proactively, she was still lukewarm. She was only willing to follow her two steps behind and was unwilling to walk arm in arm with her.
In the early years, Wei Changying had quarrels with this second cousin because of his fourth and fifth cousins. Now he speculates that she may still hold a grudge and not force it.
The group of people went to the back hall to talk. There were still some barriers at first, but as they talked, they became intimate. Especially when Wei Changying talked about the fall of the imperial capital, the thrills and twists and turns of the breakout, and Shen Shuxie's accidental burial and other experiences, even Wei Changxian They all shed tears with her and said, "I heard earlier that you married a good son-in-law. All the girls in our family envy you. I don't think you have suffered less in these years."
Although Wei Changying was immersed in his heartache for his second son, he felt a little bit amused when he heard these words: It turns out that Wei Changxian was lukewarm to her just now because she was jealous that her life was better than hers after leaving the cabinet
"In this life, no matter how good your background is, you will always have to endure some hardships." Su wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed, "But, we all have to look forward - when Gui'er went there earlier, For more than a year, I cried three to five times every day, no matter who tried to persuade me to stop. Later, I got better. Third sister, you are still blessed. I think Xie'er is now innocent, lively and smart. Don’t think about sad things when they are over.”
She put her hand on her chest and said in a slightly excited and depressed voice, "Thinking too much will only make you more sad!"
Wei Changying's memory of his cousin's children is a little distant. Just now, a large group of cousins were in the hall to celebrate, but he didn't notice the absence of Wei Shangui - Wei Changxu and the Su family's legitimate second son. OK
Now after listening to Su's talk, I realized that Wei Shangui had not been brought up, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Gui'er..."
Before she could finish her question, she saw Wei Changxian waving her hand at her where Su couldn't see her, and she quickly didn't dare to say anything anymore. Ninth Madam Song quickly changed the subject: "I heard that Uncle Six is coming back this time too? I don’t know where you are now?”
"Uncle Six is not in good health and can't make the journey, so we can only slow down the carriage." Wei Changying quickly replied, "It will take several days to get there... We don't know where exactly we will go. The person who sent the message has not returned yet, but we don't know yet."
Thanks to Wei Xinyong's distraction of Wei Shangui's matter, the harmony between the aunt and the sister-in-law was maintained in the back room.
... After saying goodbye and returning to Ruiyu Hall, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song will of course ask about their experiences in Jingping Gongfu.
When Wei Changying asked about Wei Shangui, Mrs. Song said calmly: "The year Miracle Doctor Ji came to Fengzhou, he looked at him and said that his foundation was too weak and he had to take good care of it and not neglect it. The consequences would be serious. Half a year later, the child got much better, but he became careless. In the spring of the following year, he insisted on going hunting in the woods, and a snake fell from the tree and landed on his arm. Although he was not bitten, he was too frightened and sent him back. The house was gone within two days.”
Mrs. Song didn't feel deeply about Wei Shangui's death, not because she still resented Jingping Gong's lineage for harming her grandson and granddaughter, but because Mrs. Song herself had suffered from the pain of the death of her own children, and she was not interested in such things. , I have long been accustomed to treat it with an indifferent attitude, otherwise how could I survive until now
At this moment, the accompanying guard chief Ying sighed a few words, then changed the subject without interest, and asked his two great-grandsons pleasantly what they wanted to eat for dinner.
Wei Changying thought that the visit would come to an end here.
However, that night, when the couple were settling in, Shen Zangfeng suddenly asked Wei Changying: "What do you think of Wei Shanshi?"
"Didn't you say he is very good?" Wei Changying said casually, then he woke up and asked in surprise, "Who did you fancy him for? Is it Yan'er?"
"Of course it's Yan'er." Shen Zangfeng nodded, "We received the news on the road two days ago. We heard that Yaozi had officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Yong. Now the year name has been changed to Xin Dynasty. Let’s not talk about the matter of Qingyuan’s knighthood. Even if our family is awarded a high-ranking official title, it will definitely be guarded and will not be used in any important way. For this reason, some people are afraid that they are not willing to be here. We are married to our family at the same time. But because of Uncle Wei Liu, I am afraid that the Wei family will receive extra preferential treatment... Of course, the main reason is that I think Wei Shanshi is good."
Wei Changying said thoughtfully: "How can we know what is good or bad after just meeting her like this? I think I should ask my grandmother tomorrow! After all, it is Yan'er's life-long event."
"Aren't you going to visit your third uncle tomorrow?" Shen Zangfeng reminded, "I asked today that Wei Shanshi has not yet been engaged. My eldest cousin wants him to study for two years in peace, and then consider the marriage when he is about to be crowned. .So there is no need to rush.”
"When my cousin tells you this, doesn't he mean that he doesn't want to get married to our family?" Wei Changying said immediately.
"No." Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "Do you think I asked you directly? It's all circumstantial. After all, this is just such a plan now. I can't say whether it will work or not. How can I Revealed?"
Wei Changying thought for a while and then said: "Well, even if it works, Yan'er will marry far away. After all, marrying far away is not as good as marrying close. Look at me, it's been so many years since I left the palace and I can't come back until now. ?”
"Don't I feel sorry for you as my aunt? For the sake of your aunt's face, why can't the brothers-in-law take care of her?" Shen Zangfeng turned around and held her down, laughing and scolding, "Besides, people say that it is not good to marry far away, mainly because they are afraid of women. When your child was bullied out of the house, did you say that it was not good to marry far away? Did our Shen family bully you all the time? My husband felt that I should teach you a lesson!"
In the next four or five days, Wei Changying visited the elders of the Wei family one by one as Mrs. Song mentioned. Because when she was in the boudoir, she was busy practicing martial arts and didn't have many sisters to interact with. Now most of these sisters are married. Neither elders nor brothers are familiar with her, so people visit these places very quickly.
After all the relatives were gone, Wei Changying had time to ask Mrs. Song about Wei Shanshi.
Because the matter has not been resolved yet, and Shen Shuyan is a girl, so the news cannot be revealed. Wei Changying specially chose an opportunity when Shen Shuguang and Shen Shuxie were led by Wei Changfeng to study in the study, alone. Arriving in front of Mrs. Song.
When Mrs. Song saw her coming alone, she smiled: "It's so easy to go away from relatives. I said you have to rest for a day before coming out. Why are you here now?"
"I'm thinking about my grandma. Besides, my relatives are all in the same city, and I don't have to rush. But I only have so little time to go out, so I can have a meal and talk for a few words before I'm back." Wei Changying approached grandma affectionately and took the initiative to take it. Xiaoyu hammered.
Mrs. Song narrowed her eyes, enjoying her granddaughter's service, and said with a smile: "These are things that cannot be helped by human nature, otherwise, grandma would really be reluctant to let you go to work - my good granddaughter finally came back, and she has not been here before me." After just saying a few words, everyone ran away and left me alone at home!"
"Aren't we here in front of you again?" Wei Changying said with a smile, "You are the only one!"
"Yes, she is my good granddaughter!" Mrs. Song laughed, pinched her cheek with her fingers, and said, "Okay, if your good granddaughter has anything to say to grandma, just tell her directly! I can't help you. After more than ten years of being a member of the government, you are now married to your grandmother? "
Wei Changying felt that it was too shameful for her grandmother to find out that she was here so quickly, so she refused to admit it: "Grandma, what are you talking about? My granddaughter is here just to honor you! To talk to you!"
"Really?" Mrs. Song scratched her nose with a smile and said, "Now even grandma has been deceived?"
Wei Changying denied it for a moment. Seeing that Mrs. Song was determined to coax her, he could only ask in frustration: "I don't think my expression showed anything? How did grandma know that I had something to tell you?"
"I watched you grow up, how can you hide your thoughts from me?" Mrs. Song heard this and said proudly, "Don't you think about it, Guang'er Xie'er wants to lie to you, you If you don’t want to be cheated, can they coax you over?”
Chief Wei said angrily: "Yes, yes! I can't hide anything from you - that's what it is..."
Just as she was about to elaborate, the ambassador Yu Gou knocked on the door gently and said, "Old madam, eldest lady, the third madam is here." (To be continued)
