Wei Liu's temperament is a bit more outgoing, and most of his classmates are also outgoing teenagers. Usually, he can't play with Wei Si, who is quite pedantic. Seeing that Wei Liu also brought him, Everyone's expressions were stunned at first, but they soon returned to normal, and they set off giggling.
After the six or seven teenagers arrived at Qianhe Lake, Wei Si felt that he couldn't play with Wei Liu's classmates. After saying hello to Wei Liu, he walked to the other end of Qianhe Lake alone.
"Wei Liu, why did you bring your fourth brother?" After watching Wei Si leave, a group of teenagers who didn't like to read on weekdays breathed a deep sigh of relief: "I always feel like the mountain leader in front of your fourth brother. In general, the cold hair on this back is burst after burst!"
"Me too!" It seemed that more than one person felt the same way.
Wei Liu was a little bit sarcastic: "It's really worthless, my fourth brother is just a little pedantic, see what you're afraid of!"
When a group of young people heard him say this, they all started laughing, and Wei Si, who walked away alone, naturally didn't know what they were talking about behind their backs.
Baby face in June, it will change if you say it. One moment it was clear skies, and the next moment it was pouring rain.
Wei Si didn't expect it to rain suddenly, but now it's a little far from the pavilion, and the nearest is only a row of blue brick houses on the edge of Qianhe Lake. Avoid heavy rain.
However, the rain was so heavy that by the time Wei Si hid under the eaves, his blue shirt was more than half wet. Helplessly looking at the gloomy sky covering the vast land, and the continuous rain curtain, it is impossible to see the head at a glance, Wei Si sighed deeply: "Could it be that it is really a disadvantage of fleeting years?"
But in the heavy rain curtain, a figure suddenly appeared. A girl wearing a lotus-green narrow-sleeved skirt still holds a few lotus flowers and lotus pods in her arms, holding a large lotus leaf in her left hand to shield her head from the rain, and walks quickly to the blue brick house where she is. Come.
"Four girls!" At this moment, the wooden door of the blue-brick house opened with a creak, and a woman with an oil-paper umbrella came out from inside, hurriedly greeted her, and then used the umbrella to shield the girl from the rain: "Old slave Come here as soon as you see the weather has changed, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, mama, I have this!" I saw that the girl shook the lotus leaf that she was still holding in her left hand, and smiled brightly, as bright and moving as a lotus fairy in the rain.
Seeing that the corners of her skirt were only wet, she breathed a sigh of relief: "This old servant asked someone to cook ginger soup, and the girl will change into dry clothes and drink some ginger soup to go to the cold."
The two masters and servants said one word to another, holding an umbrella and slowly entered the blue brick building. It seemed that no one cared about Wei Si who was standing under the porch to take shelter from the rain. It wasn't until the wooden door closed with a creak that Wei Si recovered from the shock.
Standing boredly under the eaves, watching the bean-sized raindrops raging into the lotus pond not far away, the distance and near are quiet, only the noisy rain, covering up the hustle and bustle of time.
"This son, I have prepared some ginger soup in the cold house. If you don't dislike it, please use some." The wooden door opened again with a squeak. Hot ginger soup.
Wei Si was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the owner of this house would be so kind-hearted, but he never liked to trouble others, so he bowed his hands and politely declined: "It's already a nuisance to take shelter from the heavy rain in front of your house, how can I give it to the master? trouble?"
"You're very polite, my master is kind-hearted, and he doesn't hesitate to take this bowl of ginger soup when he encounters pedestrians who have shelter from the rain." Mammy insisted with a smile: "Even though it's June, it's still raining heavily. It would be bad if water vapor invades."
It was the first time that Wei Si met such a stranger. He felt warm in his heart, and bowed his hands to thank him: "Thank you so much."
After taking the white porcelain bowl filled with ginger soup, he drank it and returned the empty bowl: "Thank you."
Mammy smiled and looked at the young man whose brows were clear despite being beaten by the heavy rain. He smiled and nodded. He is really a polite and good boy! Then he took the empty bowl and pushed the door in.
After Wei Si drank the hot and spicy ginger soup, he only felt that his limbs and bones were a lot warmer, and even the tip of his nose oozes thin beads of sweat.
After another quarter of an hour, Wei Liu, who came to look for someone with an umbrella, finally found his fourth brother. After the two brothers left with an umbrella, the door opened again in the blue brick house, and the winter solstice who came out with an umbrella did not find it. Someone went back with a spare umbrella.
Outside the brick house, there was no one, except for the sound of rain.
***
In the night sky after the rain, a bright full moon is embedded in the blue sky.
Wei Si, who was awakened from a beautiful dream, stood under the porch wearing a coat and watched the moonlight for a long time. It was not until a gust of night wind blew that he regained his senses. Then he turned back to his room, took out a good piece of rice paper and began to study Mo, until the faint sound of domestic servants walking outside, and a red candle burned to the end, leaving only a bunch of tears, Wei Si just stretched out, put down the brush in his hand, and walked to the inner room.
On the desk, on the rice paper pressed with a large white marble paperweight, a picture of a lotus fairy was drawn. The lotus fairy in the painting is embracing three or four lotus flowers that are blooming just right, with a faint smile on her lips. With just a few strokes, the girl's tenderness and naivety are all reflected on the paper.
Mrs. Wei Er is so worried these days that she can see several strands of blue silk have turned white. She really likes the little girl of the Su family. She looks good, smiles softly and cutely, and has a very good temperament on weekdays, but how can her son Not to die
"If mother really wants the fourth brother to agree, then if the girl is as good as mother said, why don't mother arrange for the fourth brother to meet, maybe it will be?" Shi actually gave her a good idea.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei Er's eyes lit up: "Yes! Isn't that what the second child was like back then?" She was still very confident in the daughter-in-law she chose. First of all, she had to look good in the first pass.
Hearing her mother-in-law mentioning her meeting with her husband, Yang shyly lowered her head. Her mother-in-law is really different, her heart skips a beat, and sometimes she does some amazing things, but she treats her very well. of. Furthermore, if it wasn't for the amazing actions of my mother-in-law back then, I and my husband would not necessarily be where we are today!
"Son! Mother knows that you have been studying hard lately. Today, I have specially reserved a table to treat you well." Mrs. Wei Er is a very active person, and she reserved a table at the Su family banquet the next day. We only brought Wei Si there alone.
Wei Si sat in front of the revolving round table and looked at the table with eleven dishes in a bit of weakness: "Mother, there are only two of us, how can we finish it? It's too expensive."
"Nothing, my mother is in a good mood today, you can eat whatever you want." Mrs. Wei Er's mother's family is a well-known wealthy businessman in the neighboring state capital. Mrs. Wei Er is their only daughter, and she brought her with her when she got married. The dowry is enough for her to live comfortably throughout her life, and she has always been generous in terms of money.
Wei Si only felt that the center of his eyebrows began to ache again, but he was told by his father three times before he came, not to make the mother angry, so he had to hold back the helplessness in his heart, put a chopstick in the bowl and started to eat it. I don't want to speak now. While eating, I thought, this Su family banquet is really good. The nonsense of the mother these days is easily put down.
"I heard that Mr. Lin is coming, and the students have seen Mr." When Youbao arrived at the restaurant, he heard that a wife who claimed to be Mr. Lin was looking for him in the box on the second floor. After the ceremony, it turned out that there was still a young man in the box. Youbao pursed his lips and lowered his head halfway, "I don't know if you have a guest, so the students will not disturb Mr. Yaxing."
"I heard that a new dish has been served recently, so I brought my son to try it. When I came, I realized that this is your family's property. I thought that I haven't seen you for a few days, so I want to meet you. I'm fine, you can go by yourself. Be busy." Mrs. Wei Er smiled and looked at You Bao, then glanced at her son and signaled, see? Is this the wife that I have carefully selected for you
You Baoyu's face was crimson, and after saying it was, he backed away.
Only Wei Si, looking at the girl wearing a pink twelfth ripped fairy dress today, just as stunning as when she first saw it at Qianhe Lake that day, her eyes chased the girl's back until the girl disappeared in the box Outside the door, he reluctantly retracted his gaze.
"Son, isn't the fourth girl of the Su family good-looking?" As soon as he turned around, he saw his mother looking at him with a smile like an old fox. Wei Si pursed his dry lips and let out a sound from the bottom of his throat. No, after giving a vague "um", he stopped talking, as if he focused all his attention on delicious food.
But as the old saying goes, Mrs. Wei Er can't see her son's mind when she knows her son Mo Ruo's mother? Looking at her son's white face with satisfaction, Mrs. Wei Er said to herself, "Son, do you think you can't see your thoughts by pretending to be your mother when you eat seriously? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt. ~~~~”
Mrs. Wei Er has been struggling for a long time to get her son, and the Su family has also inquired about Wei Si and the Wei family.
"The Wei family is a scholarly family, and the old grandfather Wei manages the family strictly. There are no concubines in the three generations of the Wei family, but the people are prosperous. This fourth son of Wei is also a strange person. He has an excellent reputation among the elders, but he is a bit mature. Wei The second wife has seen several girls for him in succession, but without exception, they are all dirty, mainly because the fourth young master Wei himself has no such thoughts, and it is the second wife of Wei who shaves her head and has a lot of heat." Guard Xiao is now more and more inquiring about the news. It's amazing, but in a few days, I have inquired about everything that should have been inquired.
"Wei Si didn't mean it himself, so it won't be the same this time, right?" The more Su Shi heard, the more satisfied he became with the candidate for the son-in-law, but he was also a little worried: "If this is the case, if you marry a relative and a child, then it won't work. Are you widowed?"
Youjin patted Su's hand soothingly: "Don't worry, mother, it is natural for both parties to be happy about marriage matters. Since the fourth son of Wei has no intention of it, no matter how good it is, you can't want it. That's it, treasure."
After another three or four days, the matchmaker invited by the Wei family came to the door again, and Su Shi reluctantly retreated from the marriage according to her daughter's wishes: "The fourth son of Wei is good, but I heard that the fourth son of Wei is now You have to study hard and have no intention of marrying a wife, although my Su family is not as good as the Wei family, but getting married is not an enmity.
The matchmaker didn't expect that the Su family refused for such a reason. The matchmaker's smile was a little stiff. He thought that the Su family was really shameless. What kind of family was the Wei family? You, a widow who supports the lintel, is already a great blessing to marry such a person! It's a big joke to pick and choose like this!
However, he still maintained the professional principle and explained to Wei Si with a smile: "Mrs. Su's words are not good. Since ancient times, marriage matters have not been the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents? The fourth son of Wei can't understand these things now, and so on. After getting married, you will naturally understand what you should understand, right?"
That being said, the matchmaker was still a little unhappy. If Mrs. Wei Er hadn't pointed out that as long as the fourth girl of the Su family, then there would be more people in Luohe Prefecture than her Su family, right
Although Su Shi also thinks this is the reason, but thinks that if there is no relationship between husband and wife, those days will be lived by the young couple, who will know if Youbao is wronged in the future? So I still smiled and declined: "I understand what you're talking about, but the children's affairs still have to be taken care of. If the children themselves are not happy, then let's just forget about it!"
It was rare for Su to send the matchmaker to the door, and along the way, he praised the Wei family a lot, expressing the regret of not being able to marry. The matchmaker's face was not brushed. After leaving the Su family's house with a smile, he went straight back to Mrs. Wei Er.
