It can be seen that the house where Song Zaishui lives has been carefully tidied up every day. The windows are bright and clean, and freshly picked flowers are placed on the high table and the rosewood table in front of the couch.
This is the time when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
Pink and white lions, peach blossom spring water, mandarin ducks and lotuses, silver jade belts... they are all placed in the vase. Although they are all famous products, each one has been carefully selected, but when placed together they are chaotic. With just one glance, Wei Changying knew that it must be Su Feiyu and Su Chiyu. Song Zaishui was very discerning. How dare the servants just put a vase of flowers in her and send her away? It must be considered carefully.
After looking around, Su Feiyu and her brother were not there. They probably wanted Wei Changying to concentrate on persuading Song Zaishui. The two siblings avoided it on their own or were persuaded to avoid it.
Wei Changying glanced at the two juniors he had brought with him: "You go find Feiyu and Chiyu."
After Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren went out with the servants of the Su family as promised, Wei Changying walked to the couch, stretched out his hand to remove the smoke-colored gauze curtain, and said softly: "Cousin?"
Looking through the gap, Song Zaishui was wearing a snow-green inner coat with dark patterns, and an apricot red coat draped over his shoulders. He was lying facing the inside of the couch, with his long black hair spreading all over the pillow, lying quietly, like He was asleep and didn't hear her words at all.
Wei Changying ordered: "You all get out." After everyone left, she started to fasten the gauze curtain into the golden hooks on both sides, leaned down, pulled Song Zaishui over with force, and shouted: "What's wrong with you?!"
Of course, Song Zaishui was not as strong as her. After struggling a few times, she was still forced to lie on her back. At this time, you can see that her eyes were red and swollen into two walnuts, and she couldn't open them. She didn't know how long she had been crying.
Wei Changying was slightly stunned: "... Why are you crying like this? It's been so many days... Is it that Su Wu's cousin has someone outside?"
Song Zaishui remained silent and just pushed her hand.
Because she couldn't push it, after a while, she finally said in a hoarse voice: "Don't bother me!"
"The daughter I have been looking forward to for so long was only one month old yesterday! For your sake, I rushed here today, and you actually think I'm bothering you?!" Wei Changying complained half-truthfully, urging. , "What happened? Even if cousin Su Wu has someone outside, he is not in the imperial capital now. I will take this opportunity to eradicate the roots for you! When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson for you! What do you want to do? Go ahead! What's the point of shutting yourself up in your room and crying so darkly?"
Seeing that Song Zaishui was unmoved, she thought for a moment and changed her words, "Okay, you just stay here and feel sad. Do you know what Feiyu and Chiyu have been living these past two days?! Let me tell you, I As soon as I got off the bus, if I hadn't looked at the buildings around me right, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place. Where were we in the wilderness? When the female family members came in and got off the bus, the servants were all looking so tired - today. You didn’t even bother to take care of me when you knew I was coming, let alone normal times? Now that the fifth cousin is not at home, Feiyu and Akabane are counting on you. Is this what you’re doing, mother?”
Who would have thought that it would be okay if she didn't mention the word "mother", but when she mentioned the word "mother", Song Zaishui suddenly burst into tears!
Wei Changying let go of her hand in a daze.
I saw Song Zaishui hugging her shoulders, shrinking into a ball with exhaustion, crying hysterically, without her usual "ladylike and role model" demeanor!
"... What the hell is going on?!" Wei Changying was really at a loss.
She felt that she was close to Song Zaishui. Both of them were the only daughters of their parents. Neither had any biological sisters, and neither of them had much to say to their cousins. The two cousins had always been like biological sisters, and they had no relationship with each other at all. Without further ado, what else can’t be said
Song Zaishui refused to read the letter before. Wei Changying thought that this matter might not be easy to write down, so he came here in person. I think Song Zaishui would definitely tell him, right? But now Song Zaishui is crying in grief, but has no intention of confiding
Wei Changying had no choice but to pass the veil to her: "Cousin, are you tired of crying? Tell me?"
However, Song Zaishui was tired of crying, so he saw off the guests: "Your daughter is still young. You should go back and see your daughter. Don't waste your time for me."
"Then what did Old Man Wei Gong tell you? Is it worth seeking death and living like this?" Of course Wei Changying refused to leave, frowning and said, "Cousin, you are not this kind of person... You didn't even think about marrying Shen Xun back then. Nothing like this…”
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Song Zaishui suddenly took out something from the bed and smashed it to the ground!
With a "clang", a mutton-fat jade Ruyi was smashed into pieces!
Song Zaishui's face was filled with a murderous look, and he shouted angrily: "If you mention these things about these people again, believe it or not, I will fight with you?! Don't think you are the eldest lady of the Wei family! I am afraid of you!!!"
Wei Changying was stunned for a long time, watching Song Zaishui lie back down again after the attack, and then he sighed and said: "I won't mention it if I don't mention it... But you... What are you doing?"
Song was silent for a long time in the water. Wei Changying was afraid of irritating her again, so he didn't dare to talk about the past, so he kept asking her the reason, urging her to take care of her health, and raising children with her... After that, Wei Changying was gone. Because there were no servants there and there was no tea in the room, her lips were anxious and her mouth was a little frustrated. She said: "I thought we were like biological sisters. If you have something on your mind that you don't want to tell others, you are always willing to talk to me. I said... but I don’t want you... ugh... "
These words failed to make Song Zaishui feel guilty or speak out. Instead, they made her cry even harder. Wei Changying had no choice but to continue angrily, "I brought Yan'er and Yiren here. If you don't mind, I asked them to stay." I'll come down and take care of your house for a few days. When you decide to leave, they'll go back. I'll take Feiyu and Akabane too. They are too young. You don't care about anything now and just look after the affairs. How about a few days? That’s it, the days have gone by and people have become slacker...but now my fifth cousin is not at home, can you tell me?"
Song Zaishui waited for a while before whispering: "Thank you!"
"Actually, Feiyu and Akabane may not be willing to come with me. After all, you are their mother. How can they be willing to leave while you are here? Moreover, since you have been ignoring things for such a long time, there are already rumors outside..." Wei Zhangying Seeing that she had replied, he tried to say a few more words, "Although the people in front of you are tight, only Zang Ning and I know about your search for the former Wei palace people. But as time has gone by, there have been many discussions, and I have no idea about the Su family." It's always bad - why do embarrassing things always pass? Cousin, you don't need anyone to tell you the truth, so why should you imitate common people like us and shrink down on the bed when you can't think about it? "
She stood by the couch for a long time, then sighed and went out.
Song Zaishui's current ambassador, Xuanniao, came over with red eyes and saluted: "Mrs. Wei, my wife?"
"Ashamed, I couldn't persuade her to think about it now." Wei Changying sighed, "Take me to see Feiyu and Chiyu. Cousin Song promised me to take them to the Shen family to stay for a while... Oh , I’ll leave Yan’er and Yi Ren to help your house, so that the chief stewards won’t get into arguments and delay things.”
Xuanniao responded with a disappointed voice, ordered people to go into the inner room to wait on him, and led the guard chief Ying to the room where the younger brother of the Su family was accommodated.
After entering, they saw that Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren were teaching each other step by step.
Seeing Wei Changying come in, the four of them hurriedly stopped to dress, saluted and said hello.
"Don't be formal, what are you studying?" Wei Changying was worried, but he still forced a smile in front of the juniors and asked.
"My niece is learning arithmetic from Cousin Shen." Su Feiyu said, "After learning, you can help mother read the account book."
"Cousin Shen's arithmetic was taught by our Aunt Huang. Why don't you go to the Shen family with your aunt and let Aunt Huang teach you?" Wei Changying thought for a moment and asked with a smile.
Su Feiyu didn't even think about it: "Thank you, aunt, for your kindness, but the chief manager of the family knows how to do this, so I won't bother Aunt Huang."
"Your mother just said that she has not been well these past two days, so she wants to send you and your brother to live with your aunt for a few days. Firstly, you will not have anyone to take care of you, and secondly, your mother will be able to concentrate on your recovery..." Wei Changying Without saying anything, Su Feiyu refused again - Wei Changying saw that she persisted, but Su Chiyu was not very sensible and followed her sister's instructions in everything. After thinking about it, she stopped forcing the invitation and just said: "In this case, then Can I leave you Cousin Shen and Cousin Ji to stay with you?"
This time Su Feiyu happily agreed and thanked her solemnly.
Wei Changying called Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren aside and warned: "You two will leave the cabinet next year. You are staying in the Su Mansion now not only to help your Aunt Song, but also to give you a chance to practice your skills. But remember The former is the most important - after all, this place is not better than the Shen family, so we must not take too much power just for the sake of practicing!"
Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren responded.
Wei Changying once again asked them to send someone to Shen Mansion to report if something happened to them, especially if it was related to Song Zaishui.
She returned to Shen's mansion alone, and Shen Zangning was already waiting.
Hearing that she also failed to persuade Song Zaishui to reveal the truth, she felt very surprised: "What is it that is so difficult to tell?"
"If Cousin Song refuses to tell us, how can we still be tortured?" Wei Changying said, "But the current plan is to start from the people of the former Wei Palace. At first, Cousin Song was looking for people from the former Wei Palace, and she didn't say that she was looking for someone. A palace man. It can be seen that anyone who has served in the former Wei Palace knows this."
Shen Zangning felt a little troubled: "I'm afraid such a person is not very good. In the year when the imperial capital fell, many palace people were massacred. Looking at the fifth cousin sister-in-law, she only found the third sister-in-law when she gave birth to Shu. Once you find one, you know how hard it is to find; secondly..."
Wei Changying pondered and interrupted her: "Actually, I have some idea of what Cousin Song is worried about. It's just this kind of thing... I mean this matter, I don't dare to make any assumptions without asking a few people to confirm it. Measurement."
Shen Zangning asked curiously: "What is it?"
"Qiu Baoniang has stayed in the palace for a few years. Although she has only been in the palace for a short time, her status is unusual. Maybe we can find out something from her." Wei Changying did not answer her, but said, "There are also those in front of the Queen. I heard that Eunuch Sun Mo was also from the former Wei Dynasty and entered the palace in his early years - I can't just ask Cousin Song without being more than 70% sure. "
She was a little absent-minded, "I'll go into the palace in two days... Let's talk about it when I get out."
Shen Zangning said dissatisfied: "Can't you tell me in advance that you can't do anything?"
"No!" Wei Changying said simply, "Go home. Don't speculate about this matter anymore, and don't reveal it to anyone!" After sending Shen Zangning away, Wei Changying thought about what happened when he met Song Zaishui just now. After passing by, I gradually felt that all my strength was gone, and I murmured absentmindedly, "... I hope it's not true... How could this happen?!" (To be continued)
