Shen Zangfeng learned that Wen Zhiqi seemed to be in love with Shen Shuyan. After thinking for a moment, he decided to get Shen Shuyan engaged as soon as possible.
The Shen family must not be in the limelight anymore.
And let’s not mention Wen Zhiqi’s identity as a prince, but let’s talk about the Wen family’s background—the ancestors of the founders of the Wei family had at least served as prominent officials. Not to mention, the concubines of the Wei palace were mostly scholars, and they still came from the throne of the Wei Dynasty. It has been passed down for several generations.
Before that, the concubines of the Wei Palace were all selected from among the people. They were the direct concubines of the main palace, and the nobles would rather give their daughters to their descendants.
In particular, Shen Zangfeng thought that Wei Shanshi was better than Wen Zhiqi and more in line with his requirements for his nephew-in-law.
Wei Changying told Mrs. Song about her husband's decision, and said: "My husband said that my grandfather has not recovered yet, so it is better not to mention the younger generation's marriage. Anyway, Shu Yan can still delay it for a year or two, so there is no need to rush here. For a moment. It’s fate.”
Mrs. Song was very moved by the last sentence: "Feng'er is right, alas... when I heard it, I thought of the Su family and the Min family!"
"Both sisters-in-law are good, but they are not destined to be with Changfeng." Wei Changying secretly regretted making his grandmother sad and quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa has been much better in the past two days. Doctor Ji said that he will be able to get up before the Chinese New Year. Woolen cloth!"
"But Changfeng is still young, and he only has an eldest son, so it's not a big deal." Mrs. Song was still thinking about her grandson and said, "Since it's brought up, let me ask you a simple question ：Is there a lady in the imperial capital who is suitable for Chang Feng?”
Chief Wei Ying said: "Guang'er and Xie'er are still young, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. However, my nieces have gradually grown up. In the past two years, I have only focused on choosing good husbands for them, but I have not paid attention to the female relatives of each family."
"Really?" Mrs. Song gave her a deep look, "It will take two years for Guang'er and Xie'er to discuss their marriage, but what about your eldest nephew? He seems to have been married a long time ago, right?"
Wei Changying was startled. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he pouted slightly and said, "You don't know what that kid did!"
"It's weird if I don't know!" Mrs. Song lightly hit her and scolded, "He was so stupid that he almost forced Feng'er to trade Xie'er for him - what kind of secret do you think this is? !”
Wei Changying curled his lips and said: "My husband punished him to go to Mengshan to guard the mine for ten years. At that time, the fifth younger sister Su happened to be near the jade mine. When he came back, he told me that when he got there, not only did he not want to make progress, but It’s getting worse and worse... I want to temper his temperament before we talk about it.”
"Who are you talking about to coax you?" Mrs. Song snorted and said, "You just can't get angry with Xie'er and don't want to care about him, right? You stupid kid! You even analyzed Gao Chan's family affairs two days ago. He is very impressive, so why are the authorities obsessed with him? No matter how bad he is, Shen Shuming is still your nephew! Not to mention, his reputation for nonsense is well known to the world, but his father Shen Zangli, as the eldest son of your parents-in-law, has always been his nephew. Please end this friendship. How many people in this world don’t know it?”
The old lady patted the back of her hand gently and said earnestly, "Otherwise, Feng'er would not care about his own flesh and blood? Would he be willing to trade Xie'er for him? He would not miss Shen Shuming himself, but also his parents! As for that He didn't want to make progress after arriving at the Mengshan jade mine - what you said sarcastically, he got into such a big trouble and was fined by his uncle for ten years. If he can still handle the affairs of the jade mine in an orderly manner, he would have been fined earlier. Will you be tricked into going to Beirong? You need such a capable nephew to worry about Guang'er and Xie'er!"
Chief Wei hugged his grandmother's arm nonchalantly: "Actually, I don't hold grudges that much now. It's probably because there have been so many things in the past two years, and he's not here. No, I've been so busy that I forgot about it!"
She really didn't say this perfunctoryly. She didn't talk about anything else except the time when Li Fei and Shen Zangfeng disappeared. Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know how she survived. At that time, I didn't even know where my mother and son's life and future were, so how could I remember that Shen Shuming was still unmarried
And after Shen Zangfeng returned to the imperial capital, she slept for two days and two nights - then the new dynasty was being established and Wei Huan's accident happened. After such a series of events, not to mention Wei Changying herself, even the people around her forgot about the eldest son!
"Now that I've mentioned it to you, do you know what to do?" Mrs. Song nodded her forehead angrily and shouted softly, "You have forgotten - think about whether your husband's family will Did you forget all of them? That is to say, your uncles and sisters are not around, so Feng'er is afraid of spoiling you, so you don't have the nerve to talk about it for a while! Don't you think about it, the imperial capital is thousands of miles away from Fengzhou, and the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, for your grandfather's sake. He brought his son back with you when he was ill. He was so kind to you, how dare you hold grudges against his nephew?"
"Compare your hearts to your own! Don't be like Gao Chan, who is pitifully bullied when he loses power. Once he gains power, he can do whatever he wants! He thinks he will never be stepped on again!" Mrs. Song sighed, "Feng'er It's a good thing, so after you leave the cabinet, you don't have to worry about things in the backyard. But you also need to know how to cherish blessings! People like him are very tolerant and considerate, but once they are hurt, they don't want to go back. It's just as sad as before, but it's not easy! You said that since Xie'er was not really handed over for Shen Shuming, it is said that you made a move against Feng'er at that time - let this matter be over now? Oh! You still want to embarrass Shen Shuming, just to make people laugh at you for being petty and having sex with a junior... Doesn't that sound good
What he said made Wei Changying blush, and he said calmly: "It's really... I really forgot about it. I just mentioned it and said a few words, how could I really do anything to him?"
"This is even more wrong!" Mrs. Song said sincerely, "Which of these servants doesn't do things based on the master's eyes? You just said it, and you didn't mean to embarrass him at all. But the servant listens Why don't you just go ahead and do it? Let me just say that no one has reminded you about Shen Shuming's marriage. How come you haven't even mentioned it to Mr. Huang? No wonder they don't dare to say anything good about him. Got it!"
He complained to her, "Hurry up and clear this matter up! Don't let the news spread to the mine. The people over there are trying to please you to embarrass Shen Shuming. If the news reaches Feng'er's ears, it will all be recorded in your account!" "
Wei Changying was put on pins and needles by what his grandmother said, so he stood up and said, "Then shall I go and talk to my husband now?"
"You went in such a hurry, how can he not suspect that I reminded you?" Old Mrs. Song grabbed her, "What do I want from his gratitude? It's better for you to think of this matter yourself! In this way, after a while I'll tell you a few girls in our family. Of course, I don't really want you to tell Shen Shuming - just go tell Feng'er. You have always remembered Shen Shuming's things. Even the Emperor has not seen this. Is it appropriate that you come to inquire about me now in Fengzhou? This also covers up your previous indifference to this important matter in his life! "
"So people say that it is not good to marry far away. If you do something wrong, there are only a few people who can persuade you." Wei Changying's eyes were red, he snuggled into his grandmother's arms and choked, "If you know this, only you can do it." Can you tell me about it?"
Mrs. Song sighed: "Don't say that. After a girl leaves the palace, she becomes a family member. The most important thing is that her husband and son-in-law are good friends! Otherwise, if your family loves you, the most they can do is to take you back to live with your family, so as not to worry about your husband. The family is angry, but when you leave, even if the position of the main wife is vacant and the house is full of flowers and plants, I feel angry just thinking about it... Feng'er treats you well, this is the greatest blessing in your life! It's because he treats you so well! , This person is used to being spoiled, and it is inevitable that he will be stubborn sometimes. I didn't mention it in the first two days when you came back, just to see if you would wake up on your own - and to give you a memory not to do this in the future! Such an unwise thing!”
Wei Changying was convinced and said: "I will write down my grandmother's teachings. From now on, I will do three things every day and I will not dare or forget!"
"Just remember." Mrs. Song smiled slightly and sighed, "I won't be able to teach you much in the future. You should remember it and not forget it. After all, I have experienced more things in my life than you. There are many lessons to be learned, and it will always be to your benefit if you listen to me.”
Wei Changying hugged her tightly and said: "Grandma, what are you talking about? Grandma is in such good health, but I still hope that in the future, Guang'er and Xie'er will come to consult her on important matters such as starting a family and starting a business!"
Mrs. Song smiled and said: "That's all, let's not talk about it... Gao Chan came back with Yuan'er. You don't have any sisters. Although there was some distance between you and her in the past, after so many years, the sisters still keep in touch with each other. Today She’s here with me. Let’s go and walk around with her tomorrow.”
The old lady was a little sad, "Now that I think of Song Mianhe, I don't hate her so much. After all, times have changed and people's hearts can change. I originally thought I would hate her forever!"
Wei Changying listened to his grandmother's calm words, but his heart was beating wildly for no reason. He couldn't help but change his face and forcefully smiled: "That's because of your tolerance, grandmother. Although I don't have any grudge against my fourth sister, but I know that this old lady Song in this hall , but I still don’t like her when I think about it! Why did she have trouble with you before?”
"You are still young." Mrs. Song said with a smile, "Young people are always full of vigor. Grandma is old, and people become soft-hearted when they get old. If before... Apart from other things, the stupid things Gao Chan did this time, How could I just say a few words to her and let it go? Of course, this is because your father is better and seeing that you all have a good future, I no longer have to guard against you all the time... Only then can I feel like being a good person. !”
The more Wei Changying heard these words, the more ominous he felt - Mrs. Song looked very good, and it was said that she was in good health in the past two years, but the lack of concern and regret in her tone was so obvious
These are almost like words at the end!
Her lips trembled slightly, hoping to think of something to distract her, but before she could think of the right words, she couldn't help but burst into tears!
"Don't be afraid." Seeing this, the servants around were shocked, but Mrs. Song calmly wiped it with a handkerchief for her, and said gently, "Grandma has protected you from the wind and rain for these years. At least I can see you. You are all grown up - even if you don't have your grandmother in the future, although you will have no one to ask for advice on many things, you may not be able to handle them yourself - isn't this how generations of people live? "
The old lady wiped her twice, then put the handkerchief into her hand, closed her hand, grasped the handkerchief tightly, and said softly, "My child, you have grown up! You also have a child... From now on, it’s your turn to protect your children from the wind and rain!” (To be continued)
