Because I didn't sleep well all night, I reluctantly got up the next morning, and I still hadn't completely recovered from the sadness of the husband and wife's separation. My whole person seemed listless. Compared with Xuan Yu Feng who had also not slept all night but was in high spirits, it was simply... sharp contrast.
Xuan Yu and Feng Shi thought she was too tired to eat without sleeping, so he persuaded her to go ashore to catch up on her sleep while there was still time, but to no avail, he didn't take it to heart.
But after a while, the Sheng family, Feng Jiaxuan and Yu family met a group of people at the pier together. The conversation about reunion after a long separation had not yet begun. Despite the obstruction of the younger generation, Mrs. Zhan insisted on coming to see the sweetheart and sweetheart in person. Seeing that her granddaughter was in low spirits, she was furious and scolded Ms. Feng: "How can you take care of your sweetheart?! Look at this child's unhappy look! And look at you who are overjoyed, you must only care about yourself and not the child!"
The corner of Xuan Yu Feng's mouth twitched: "She was the only one who knew she would be able to see you today. She was so happy that she didn't sleep all night!"
Sheng Weiqiao steeled herself to defend her aunt: "Yes! Grandma, please don't blame my aunt. These days, if my aunt didn't love me, I don't know what I would do? This time, my aunt accompanied me and traveled thousands of miles. After a lot of suffering, if I still have to be blamed, I won’t be able to see my aunt in the future!”
"She is your aunt, and an aunt is also a mother. Isn't it right to endure hardships for you?" Mrs. Zhan said in a particularly partial way, "Otherwise, what's the use of her as an aunt?"
Then he pulled Sheng Weiqiao to look around, and said distressedly, "Honey, I haven't seen you for three or two years, why are you so thin? I'll have to ask your parents to give you a good supplement later!"
Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said: "Grandma, I have grown taller, and the skirts I wore before were a little shorter! So I look thin, but in fact I am not! Look at my arms. This bracelet used to be able to hold three handkerchiefs. , at most I can stuff two and a half at this moment!"
Mrs. Zhan was going to say something else, but she couldn't help it when she saw Sheng Lanci and his wife beside her. Feng hurriedly interjected: "Don't worry, mother! My dear girl is back with such difficulty. Who are we?" Wouldn't you treat her badly? But it's serious to go back quickly and let the child rest for a while!"
Sheng Lanci's eyes were fixed on her daughter, feeling distressed and sighing at the same time: "Don't ask my dear girl to stand in the wind and talk. My dear girl has only been in confinement for a few days now, so how can she stand for a long time?"
Mrs. Zhan was reminded, and she repeatedly said yes, so she took Sheng Weiqiao's hand and walked towards the sedan. Sheng Lanci and his wife followed closely, and finally Xuan Yushe and his wife came together to greet them, and asked in shock: " Don’t you want to see your nephew?!”
The couple had also heard Xuan Yu Feng tell the story about Mrs. Zhan's heart-changing story earlier. Before coming, they had secretly discussed whether Sheng Weiqiao would fall out of favor faster than Xuan Yu Feng did after Rong Ruibin appeared in front of people. quick
As a result... this group of people forgot about Rong Ruibin
"The child is still young, so don't carry it out to the public!" Xuan Yushe had just finished speaking, and Mrs. Zhan had not yet spoken. Sheng Lanci raised her brows and said first, "It's not too late to see you after we return home. !”
Hearing this, Xuan Yu She felt that it made sense. He accompanied Xuan Yu Feng into his carriage and drove towards Sheng Mansion. He also said, "My uncle is pampering my cousin Wei Qiao after all. He is just careful. I thought he I forgot about my new grandson, I didn’t think it was for the sake of the child!”
"These words are just to fool your brain!" However, Mrs. Xuanyu Feng snorted when she heard this and said, "The story of Qiaoer's birth, your uncle must have read it from the letter home written by your grandfather. You know it clearly. Mi Zhen and Zhao Shi are not here at the moment. In the eyes of your uncle, the head of the Wu family is just a servant. It is in vain to argue with her and you will lose your identity. You can only use it to treat Ruibin who is not very good. I care to express my dissatisfaction!”
Xuan Yushe's lips twitched: "My uncle doesn't like his grandson?"
"How could he be bored with Qiao Er's child?" Xuan Yu Feng said, "But compared to Qiao Er, of course there is no comparison. Qiao Er has suffered a lot for this child, and your little uncle's heart I'm a little angry... Okay, don't talk about your cousin's affairs. Your uncle has to worry about her affairs. Let's talk about it. During the days when I was away, everyone in the family was still in peace."
While they were talking, the carriage rolled into the city and drove into the Sheng Mansion in a mighty manner. Sheng Lanzi and Xiao, the third-bedroom couple of the Sheng family who stayed behind in the mansion, took their servants to guard the place where they got off the car. They exchanged greetings with each other. During this time, Mrs. Xiao anxiously asked about Sheng Weiche and Sheng Weiwu. These brothers and sisters were the only children of the third family. Previously, Sheng Weiwu was playful and had to go to Chang'an with Sheng Weiqiao and his party.
Later, when Old Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming went north together with the old couple of the Xu family, they specially brought Sheng Weiche with them.
Originally this was a good thing. Although Sheng Lanzi and his wife were separated from their children, they were still full of joy and looked forward to a better future for their son and daughter.
Who would have known that the situation would suddenly change, and Chang'an would be in chaos. The news I heard these days was all about swords and swords, and unspeakable dangers. Sheng Lanzi and his wife almost couldn't sleep all night because of this, and Mrs. Xiao even cried to the point of fainting several times. She didn't want to live anymore for fear that something might happen to her children.
Now that I see my niece who went out with my daughter, even though I know that Sheng Weiqiao has not been with Sheng Weiwu in recent years, I still can't help but want to ask.
Sheng Lanzi pinched his arm and interrupted him just as he opened his mouth. They were worried about their children. Weren't Sheng Lanci and his wife worried about their daughter during this time
Now that they were finally reunited, and before they had time to talk about their farewells, it was in vain to bring up Sheng Weiqiao's words that he clearly had no answer for, but it made it look like the uncle and aunt didn't know how to behave.
Mrs. Xiao understood what her husband meant and suppressed her worries. Just as she was about to change the subject, Sheng Weiqiao knew what she was thinking. While answering the concerns of Mrs. Zhan and others, she said in a hurry: "Third uncle, third uncle." Don't worry, Auntie, I received news from Chang'an on the way that the eldest brother, three sisters, fourth brother, and seventh sister are all fine... I'll tell you two in detail later!"
When Sheng Lanzi and his wife heard this, they were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! As long as they are safe, it will be fine if we explain the details later!"
It was noisy all the way to the main hall, where the maids made ginseng tea to relieve their fatigue.
After Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu were appointed by Feng, they first introduced Xu Lianshan and Master Wu to Mrs. Zhan, Sheng Lanci and his wife.
Mrs. Zhan and others had long understood the status and specific tasks of these two people from the tip-offs announced to Feng and Mrs. Feng. At this time, their attitudes were particularly consistent: they greeted Xu Lianshan and Yan Yuese and asked Wu about their welfare. The boss is lukewarm and has a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao said a few nice words to Mr. Wu to avoid embarrassment to the head of the family. Sheng Lanci said a few words in a casual way because she wanted to give her daughter face, but she soon made an excuse for the hard work they had been doing all the way. At this time, the guest house has been prepared, and they are asked to take a rest and send people away.
"Dad, wait a minute!" After seeing Xu Lianshan and Master Wu resigning, Sheng Lanci was about to burst into tears. Sheng Weiqiao's scalp was numb and she hurriedly shouted, "There is one more thing I need to trouble you: we met on the way back. Uncle Yongyi's family was living at sea! The daughter of Uncle Yongyi, the head of Jingshu County, said she had nowhere to go now and wanted to ask me to take her family in for a while. I took them to Nanfeng County just because I didn't know much about this place. The county head doesn't plan to bring them to live in the mansion, and is thinking of temporarily settling them in a separate courtyard outside."
"Such a trivial matter!" Sheng Lanci hurriedly called a steward in, gave a few instructions, and said, "My dear, do you have anything else to do? If you have anything else, just say it! You have been away for the past two years, and your father has been here all the time. I couldn't do anything for you, but now that I'm back, I won't ask you to worry about it anymore!"
When Sheng Weiqiao said this, she almost shed tears and said, "I have been out for so long, and I feel more and more how carefree I was when I was in front of my parents!"
"I told you not to ask your sweetheart to marry far away, but you didn't listen! Are you okay now?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhan brought up the old conversation again and wiped her tears while saying, "Thinking about what my children have been through these days, I really feel It feels like my heart has been stabbed with a knife!”
When the old lady cried like this, Sheng Lanci and his wife, who had always felt that their daughter had been greatly wronged, couldn't help but burst into tears: "I don't know where the bad fate came from, why did you fall in love with Mi Zhen? There is no talent in the county. , Mi Zhen stands out from the crowd."
Mrs. Feng scolded Sheng Lanci again: "If it hadn't been for your bad idea, how could we, my dear girls, have known him? If we didn't know him, how could we have married so far away? If something happened to her, we, as her mother-in-law's family, couldn't help her. support?"
Sheng Lanci had actually regretted it for a long time. At this moment, he couldn't explain his wife's blame. He only smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, our good girls are blessed with deep blessings. Although there were some twists and turns, we managed to survive in the end!"
"You also know that you managed to survive, right?" Mrs. Zhan was dissatisfied and said, "When my sweetheart was in front of us, she never heard a harsh word. When she leaves the pavilion, she not only has to be picked on by her mother-in-law. Fourth, you have to live in exile, even if you have a child... "
Xuan Yu Feng's eyes stopped when she received it. After thinking for a moment, she changed her mind and said, "... I've all caught up with the premature birth. I'm so worried that I even want to tell Yin Xue about my funeral. Every time I think about this scene, I still feel... I'm covered in cold sweat! If my sweetheart really had a problem at that time, wouldn't it mean that I would die in peace?!"
"Mom, please don't talk nonsense. Isn't this good for Qiaoer?" Because Mrs. Zhan is going to the pier to meet her granddaughter, of course it is impossible for a son to let his mother go out alone. At this time, Feng Ye, the eldest son of Feng, and his eldest daughter-in-law Leshi was all there. Hearing this, he quickly said to Mrs. Zhan, "And we are reunited after a long absence. We should be happy!"
Leshi, like Xuan Yushe and his wife, had long wanted to see Rong Ruibin. At this moment, he took the opportunity to say: "And it's been a long time, and the nephew hasn't been picked up yet? I don't know who this child looks like? Does he look like Qiao? Do you have more children or are you more like Mi Zhen?”
Sheng Weiqiao felt a little unable to resist the affection of his relatives. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Some of them are like Mi Zhen, and some are like me. But the wet nurses said that the children's eyebrows haven't grown yet, so they have to wait. When you grow up, you can confirm who you followed."
He took the opportunity to order people to pick up Rong Ruibin and come to rescue him.
After a while, a wet nurse came in with a baby in her arms. After bowing, she sent it to Mrs. Zhan who was at the head.
Rong Ruibin happened to be awake at this moment. His biological parents were both fair-skinned, so they were naturally white and tender, with a pair of round eyes that had not yet opened. It's not yet clear whether he inherited his mother Sheng Weiqiao's apricot eyes or his father Rong Suihe's slightly narrow eyes.
Because he was escorted to the ship by Xu Lianshan before he was a full moon, and he came into contact with many strangers in a short period of time, he was not very afraid of strangers. When he saw the old lady leaning over to look at him, instead of crying, he stretched out his hand and tried to catch the old lady. The jade hairpin on the snow-white bun.
Mrs. Zhan originally felt resentment towards Rong Ruibin, not only because she heard that her nephew was born prematurely and with difficulty, and even after giving birth to the child, she was abandoned by her husband's elders and subordinates. The meaning of expressing anger.
At this moment, seeing that he was no longer with her, she felt soft in her heart. However, she put aside all the grudges she had and lovingly pulled out the flower hairpin and gave it to him to hold and play with, saying: "With such a small appearance, do you still need to wait for it to bloom? I said he is like our sweetheart!"
Sheng Lanci, his wife and others nearby couldn't wait to see the child. They had already left their seats and gathered around. They all agreed after hearing this: "This looks exactly like Qiao Er!"
"Originally, sons resemble their mothers. Normally, male heirs take after their mother's appearance. As for girls, they resemble their father more... Qiaoer just looks like her brother-in-law!"
A group of people were talking about it. Mrs. Zhan was worried about her old age and was afraid that something would happen when she held the child, so she didn't dare to take action. Sheng Lanci and his wife, Xuan Yushe and his wife, and other grandparents and parents all came up. They hugged each other in front of them. When it was Xuan Yushe's turn, he weighed it and smiled: "After all, he is the legitimate son of Mi Zhen. This body is as strong as Mi Zhen's. Although he was born a month prematurely, he is strong and tight!" It wasn’t so heavy now!”
His wife, Xiao Feng, said "Oops" and said angrily: "When I went out, I was still thinking about the gift for my nephew, but I forgot to take it in a hurry! Cousin, don't be surprised. We will return home later. Send it over again!”
Sheng Weiqiao was about to be polite, but Rong Ruibin seemed a little impatient to be watched, and started crying loudly. Because he was a stranger to him, after coaxing him for a long time, Rong Ruibin's crying did not stop, but became louder and louder.
Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly asked the wet nurse to come forward and take the baby: "Please take Ruibin down!"
After the wet nurse left Rong Ruibin in her arms, Xuan Yushe was about to apologize to Sheng Weiqiao, who was chatting with her. After all, Xuan Yu Feng was getting old, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she said: "We have traveled a long way, and now we are here again." I'm a little tired after the bumpy carriage ride into the city. Let's settle down first and talk about it later if there's anything we need to do?"
Sheng Lanci said hurriedly: "I've troubled my eldest sister these days! Why don't eldest sister just rest in Sheng Mansion for one night and go back tomorrow?"
But Xuanyu Feng shook his head: "It's just a few steps, there's no need to go through such trouble!"
She was about to leave. Although Mrs. Zhan still wanted to hold Sheng Weiqiao for a while, seeing the unconcealed tiredness on her granddaughter's face, she reluctantly got up and said, "In that case, let's all go and let our sweethearts have a rest." !”
It was just that after the Sheng family sent away all the people in the Feng family, even though Sheng Weiqiao was tired, he still forced himself to talk to Sheng Lanzi and his wife: "Third uncle, third aunt, let me tell you about the fourth brother and the seventh sister!"
