... After Wei Changying figured it out, only one day later, the Shen family arrived.
After two days and two nights without eating or drinking, my heart felt like death. After I woke up, I only had one day to rest. Although he is still young, the Wei family is rich and has all kinds of nourishing things, but after all, his days are too short. I woke up early this morning and sat in front of the mirror after taking a shower. I saw that the moisture on my cheeks was still wet, and there was a faint blush due to the heat of the water. However, it was not as beautiful as before.
Like the pink and white rose flowers, they are still beautiful, but they are a little less graceful and bright, showing haggardness, with a feeling of wind and fog.
He sighed in his heart and said, "Why don't you put on some makeup?"
"Did grandma say that I want to show up today?" Wei Changying stared at his own image in the mirror for a moment and asked in a low voice.
Visitors from the Shen family... This time is different from the last time. Whether it is about breaking off the engagement or whether the engagement is still the same, it cannot be said in a day or two. Moreover, Wei Zhengya is newly mourned. Since the Shen family has arrived in Fengzhou, they must go to express their condolences. Come on, the people coming this time will have to stay at least a few days.
Now that I am so haggard, I don't have to ask them to make random guesses. Mrs. Song may not necessarily have to go to see her on the first day. After two or three days, she will probably be able to look good. By then, it will be more decent to meet her. What's more, it has been raining for the past two days, and it has not stopped until now. The road is muddy, and the carriage and horses are tired. I am afraid that I will go to bathe and change clothes just to be polite.
Then came the dust-washing banquet. It was impossible for the Shen family to send a female family member to attend such a big event. No matter how bad the reputation of Wei Changying was, it was impossible for him to come to the banquet to accompany him like a family concubine. Therefore, it is unlikely that Wei Changying will need to come forward today.
"Shuangli came yesterday, let the eldest lady prepare for today." He said softly, "Perhaps the Shen family will propose it."
Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said, "Then put on some rouge."
Wei Zhengya's funeral is still being held. Although he lives in a different palace, he is still an elder and it is not appropriate for Wei Changying to wear colorful clothes. What's more, even if there is no funeral, her face is pale now, with too much makeup and too much makeup, and her dress is too gaudy, which makes her look even more haggard that she wants to hide.
He discussed with Qin Ge and others and chose for her a tooth-colored dark sleeves with folded plum blossoms and wide sleeves, a lotus-colored fairy skirt, and a five-bat wing brocade belt. The dress was simple and paired with a woven gold flower shawl. silk. On the frightened swan bun, there are mutton-fat jade luan birds holding pearls in their mouths and walking and swaying in the opposite hairpins, and the center is decorated with pearl camellia. Since Wei Changying's skin was crystal clear, white and tender, he simply skipped applying powder and directly applied a light layer of crimson rouge.
Zhu Shi was doing something next to him, handing it to and from him, and came up with the idea of pasting a beautiful plum blossom flower between his eyebrows. After he pasted it, He looked at it and accepted it.
... When they arrived at Sizhong, Zhu Xian ran into the Shuangting Courtyard with her skirt in hand to report that it was Wei Shengnian who came in to greet the Shen family outside the gate.
Seeing Wei Changying sitting behind the case, He seemed to be concentrating on reading a book, but he was holding a page in his hand and was about to turn it, but he paused and became convinced, so he asked on her behalf: "Who is here? Or Xiang?" Ningbo?"
"It's Uncle Xiangning." Zhu Xian nodded and said, "It's been raining for the past two days and it hasn't stopped until now. The people coming here should be riding horses, all wearing bamboo hats and raincoats. A group of people came when the maid passed by. I was undressing under the eaves. The steward at the front asked the maid not to get too close to avoid being seen. I only found out when the third master greeted me. "
"Bo Xiangning is bold and unruly, and he had a very good impression of the eldest lady last time." Mr. He sent Zhu Xian, Qin Ge and others out to comfort Wei Changying alone.
After being exposed and confused, Wei Changying had no intention of pretending to study anymore. She closed the book, pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether the impression is good or not, anyway... Grandma also said that the Shen family doesn't want me. Just say I'm sick and I'll tell them." Her voice was severely hoarse because she hadn't drank water for two days and nights. She is still mute and can't speak louder.
Such a calm narrative sounded a bit sad to He's ears.
Mr. He was startled and forced a smile and said: "This... Since Uncle Xiangning was sent by the Shen family to preside over such an important event, he must be a shrewd man. He will not listen to the villain and wrong the eldest lady. What is it? The eldest lady is innocent of the marriage that the lord and the lord Shen have decided personally. The Shen family is also one of the six lords in the country, so how could they break off the engagement? "
Mrs. He has always disapproved of Wei Chang Ying's practice of martial arts. In her mind, a qualified lady like Song Zaishui is gentle, decent, virtuous and quiet. Moreover, in the He family's opinion, Shen Zangfeng had the same background as Wei Chang Ying and was talented, so this marriage was a match made in heaven.
It would be a pity to give up just because of one incident.
So even though both Wei Huan and Mrs. Song were ready to break off the engagement if something went wrong, the He family still hoped that the Shen family could find out everything and clear Wei Changying's name so that the marriage could continue smoothly.
He knew that if Wei Changying broke off the engagement, even if it was under the guise of being ill, the outside world would inevitably have bad speculations. For example, what the common people in the imperial capital said who stopped the sedan chair to complain was true... In this way, if Wei Changying remarries, let alone She has a similar status to Shen Zangfeng, and even an ambitious man from a wealthy family would not marry her.
Because the common people were not married, Wei Changying could only choose among the poor children from far away... Compared to Shen Zangfeng, such a husband's family was not only inferior in terms of background, talent, and future
In her mind, Wei Changying is the most noble and best daughter-in-law in the world. Even Song Zaishui may be gentler and more virtuous than Wei Changying, but how can Miss Song be as beautiful and lively as the eldest daughter she single-handedly raised? Not to mention that the eldest lady is even less powerful than the delicate Miss Song!
Such an eldest daughter, Shen Zangfeng, the Shen family's designated next leader, is a perfect match. Those who are far away... Even if Wei Changying doesn't care, He Shi feels aggrieved for his eldest daughter from the bottom of his heart just thinking about it.
Wei Changying also heard He's thoughts, but he just smiled sadly and said: "It's wrong or not...it's said that way outside. How can such a thing be said clearly? Besides, even if the Shen family hinders He still accepted me to marry me to save face, but afterwards he ignored me and ostracized me. It would be better not to marry him!"
"Since the eldest lady is marrying a matchmaker, how dare the Shen family do anything to the eldest lady?" He said subconsciously, just thinking about the distance between the imperial capital and Fengzhou, and the fact that the Shen family is also one of the six clans, there is no need to be too scrupulous. The power of the Wei family was also a little startled.
Wei Changying twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist, feeling complicated and unspeakable: when she was very young, she couldn't remember hearing someone joke that her fiancé Shen Zangfeng was the son of a military commander. After marrying such a delicate unmarried wife like Wei Changying, Shen Zangfeng might be able to knock her down with just one finger, and she would suffer a lot when she leaves the pavilion.
At that time, the guard chief Ying was ignorant. He only knew that the so-called unmarried couples were people who would live together and spend all day together - and that person was so powerful that he could beat himself back with one finger. If you don't succeed, how many times will you be beaten in a day? This is really terrible!
Who said these words, she turned around and forgot them, but she remembered them so firmly that she pestered her grandmother and mother for several days before they agreed to hire a tutor to teach her.
She had studied hard for more than ten years, initially just to avoid being bullied by Shen Zangfeng in the future; later, she felt that she was getting better and better day by day, so she felt that she could bully Shen Zangfeng in turn...
Whether it was to protect herself or rely on her martial arts to gain dominance, unlike Song Zaishui, she never thought of regretting her marriage.
Maybe it's because Shen Zangfeng is not like Donggong today. According to the news from the imperial capital, he has real abilities; maybe it's because the marriage was decided so early that she knew she had a fiancé when she was three or four years old. She left the court right after she grew up... After thinking this way for a long time, she got used to it. She always felt that she would definitely marry into the Shen family.
All in all, for more than ten years, whether as an enemy or as a husband, Shen Zangfeng has always been the only person she has never forgotten except blood relatives - she has always thought that she was destined to be this person's wife in this life, no matter what he thought of her. Good or bad, whether the two people will be on a blind date or kill each other in the future, the agreement between the two clan owners more than ten years ago has determined everything.
She was supposed to be able to meet the person she had been guarding against and thinking about for more than ten years next year... But now, everything is in turmoil.
She may not get married, but even if she gets married, because of these rumors, she doesn't know how the other party will view her and treat her
So, it’s really better not to get married at all…
But after more than ten years of guarding and thinking about it, even if it is a plant or a tree, there is still a lingering affection, let alone a person
That was the husband she had thought of for more than ten years.
Wei Changying bit her lip hard and swallowed back her sobs - after passing the Jingping Duke's delegation and the white silk, she already understood what kind of situation she was in - even her family wanted her to die. It proves that the Wei family's family tradition is still pure and flawless, and all women are chaste...
Maybe after she dies, those in the Wei family will spread the cinnabar on their arms to prove the strength of the Wei daughter: You see, although her innocence is still there, just because she stayed in the woods for two days, she was Suspicious, the woman committed suicide... What a rigorous, chaste, pure and flawless family tradition!
But…
Why should she die? ! At first she was sad, because of the slander and slander in the rumors, the dislike and coldness of her cousins, and the misunderstanding and curses of Wei Gao'an... She was so sad that she didn't want to eat or drink, because she couldn't distinguish and clarify the grievances!
But after the white silk was discovered, all the grievances and resentments that Wei Changying had accumulated suddenly exploded!
Although it was her own request to go out of the city to see her off, she came and went in a carriage and wore a hat, so there was absolutely nothing rude or inappropriate! Besides, now that I think about it, it’s a shame that she followed him that day! She went, so only Jiang Zheng, who had been following her since he was her tutor twelve years ago, went there... Although it was said that Wei Xinyong saved their group, without Jiang Zheng, an old man in the world, and without Wei Changying himself With this combat power, how could the group of people get reinforcements from Wei Xinyong to arrive? !
Knocking Wei Changfeng unconscious and pretending to be her younger brother to attend the appointment - even if Wei Changying was given another chance, she would not be able to let her younger brother risk his own life for the sake of her own safety and reputation!
What's wrong with her
Why do these people insist on my death for the sake of their illusory family reputation and your dignity? !
You want me to die, but I won’t die! Not only will I not die... all those who want me to die, I will personally let you die first!
… So now is not the time to be sad about this marriage.
Wei Changying raised her hands to cover her mouth. After a long time, she said softly: "My parents make the final decision on marriage matters. I follow the arrangements of my grandfather and grandmother."
Just as he was talking, Qin Ge knocked on the door: "Miss, Shuangzhu is here to invite the eldest lady over."
—Are you going to meet the Shen family now
Wei Changying was startled and startled! (To be continued)
