"Didn't you say it was in Baiweilou? Why did you come out when you were fine, and you were arguing with people on the street." After Jue's rapid heartbeat gradually calmed down, she looked at her daughter with a little reproach and said.
"Come and see the excitement, what's the point of staying inside all the time." Wei Yingzhi played with the tiger lantern in her hand, then handed it to Wei Chengyue beside her, and said coquettishly while holding her arm.
"Mother, why did you come back so soon? You can see Yunfu in the palace? I don't know what he is busy with recently, and he hasn't come to our mansion for a long time."
"I know what Yunfu is up to." Before Shen Xinyan answered her, Wei Chengyue approached stealthily.
"You know?" Wei Yingzhi looked at him suspiciously.
"Of course I know, Yunfu is busy picking a wife!" Wei Chengyue grinned.
Wei Yingzhi's eyes widened: "Can you choose?"
"It's been a long time since I came to the mansion to look for us, I must have already chosen it, and I'm trying my best to please my future wife, why would I care about us!" Wei Chengyue replied seriously.
"Really? Which girl is it? Do I know her?" Wei Yingzhi became even more curious.
"Do you also believe Brother Yue's words?" The sudden voice interrupted Wei Chengyue, who was about to continue talking nonsense. When everyone looked around, they saw Yun Fu panting slightly, and came at some time.
He said behind his back that he was caught and caught, even though Wei Chengyue, who has always been thick-skinned, was a bit embarrassing.
Just now, I mentioned that I haven't seen Yunfu for a long time, but I didn't expect him to appear immediately. Wei Yingzhi called out in surprise, "Yunfu!"
Yun Fu called Shen Xinyan 'Ma'am', then looked at her and smiled, with a bit of complaint in his tone: "Why do you run around, I have been looking for it for a long time."
It was obvious that he left the palace much earlier than his wife, but he had been wandering the streets for a long time but he couldn't find them.
Wei Yingzhi smiled grinningly: "If you don't look around during the holidays, is it possible that you still stay in one place? You are stupid, so you have been looking for it for so long, but my mother found it all at once."
"If I had known this before, I would have waited for my wife to come out of the palace to find you."
"Okay, don't stand on the street, let's find a place to sit for a while, and then go to see the lanterns later." Seeing more and more people on the street, Shen Xinyan interrupted them directly.
Everyone had no objection, anyway, now is not the best time to watch lanterns, it is also good to sit and rest for a while.
Yunfu and Wei Yingzhi habitually supported Shen Xinyan on the left and right, and the brothers Wei Chengzhao and Wei Chengyue followed closely behind them.
Shen Xinyan was a little helpless, being supported by someone like this, she always felt like she was already seventy or eighty.
But this is always the filial piety of the children, and she can't say anything.
The group arrived at the room on the upper floor of the Baiwei Building that had been booked earlier and sat down with each other. Wei Chengyue touched Yunfu's shoulder and smiled ambiguously: "Have you been hanging out with beauties all day long and don't want to leave?" gone?"
"What a bunch of beauties, it's all nonsense!" Yun Fu glared at him.
"Think I don't know! The imperial concubine is choosing a wife for you, why don't you call all the beauties in the capital for you to choose?"
"Really? Then do you have a crush on it? Let me hear it, and I will help you with the details." Wei Yingzhi suddenly became interested, and even Wei Chengzhao, who always loved to learn from Wei Chenglin and pretended to be serious, looked over curiously.
Yun Fu felt uncomfortable being watched by them.
Shen Xinyan, who was sitting quietly at the side, couldn't help laughing when she heard what they said, and said jokingly: "I also want to know, which girl did Yunfu have a crush on?"
Yunfu blushed, and quickly glanced at Wei Yingzhi, a little coyly, but also a little reluctantly called: "Ma'am..."
Seeing this, everyone laughed together.
Shen Xinyan covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
This silly boy!
For a moment, I was a little emotional, time flies, as if in the blink of an eye, the little girl who stubbornly wanted to sign a life contract with me back then has grown up to the age where she can start a family and start a business.
She wanted to ask him which girl he had a crush on, but she was afraid that he would be thin-skinned, so in the end she gave up.
Wei Chengyue and the others were not so kind, they kept asking Yunfu which girl he fell in love with, but Yunfu pressed his lips tightly, and refused to speak no matter how intimidating they were.
Although Wei Yingzhi, who has always loved Yunfu, was itchy in her heart, she put her hands on the table proudly and glared at Wei Chengyue: "Yunfu doesn't even want to talk about it, Brother Yue, don't force him anymore! "
Seeing that she was just attacking his younger brother, Wei Chengzhao cleverly sat a little further away from Wei Cheng, pretending to be nonchalant and began to drink tea and snacks.
Wei Chengyue rubbed his nose and muttered, "Don't ask if you don't ask, I don't believe you and don't want to know."
After thinking about it, she still felt a little bit unwilling, and said again: "Fourth sister, you can't do this, Yunfu is bigger than you, why do you always protect him like a younger brother?"
"I'm happy, you can control it!" Wei Yingzhi raised her head proudly.
Yunfu was originally happily enjoying her maintenance for several years, but when he heard Wei Chengyue's words, he was a little stunned.
Hearing Wei Yingzhi's answer again, his handsome face flushed red immediately, and he stammered to retort: "I, I am not you, your brother, your brother, brother is, brother Xiang!"
"Do you still need to say that my younger brother is Brother Xiang?" Wei Yingzhi glanced at him strangely.
Yunfu wanted to say something else, but Wei Yingzhi pointed out the window and exclaimed in surprise: "Look, those lights are all lit!"
When everyone looked out of the window, they saw that the lanterns hanging in the streets and alleys were lit one after another, but in an instant, the whole capital city was bathed in lights.
"Hey, isn't that the big brother?" Wei Chengzhao spotted Wei Chenglin in the crowd with sharp eyes.
Shen Xinyan looked at the street and saw her son in the crowd at a glance.
The street was bustling with people, men, women and children coming and going, clearly wearing the most common blue cloth clothes, but still the most eye-catching one in the crowd. There were already several girls passing by him shyly trying to throw the handkerchiefs in their hands to him, but he kept a straight face and didn't look sideways, as if he didn't receive the admiring eyes around him at all.
"Brother is really incomprehensible!" Wei Chengyue suddenly sighed.
Shen Xinyan gave him a funny look, and for some reason remembered that when he was a child, Yang always used to scold him for liking pretty girls at a young age.
"It's better to be incomprehensible than to be merciful in the future!" Wei Yingzhi retorted when her own brother would be squeezed out.
After finishing speaking, he called out "Brother" loudly in the direction of Wei Chenglin.
Maybe because he heard her voice, maybe because he felt the presence of his relatives, Wei Chenglin suddenly looked up, and met Shen Xinyan's eyes.
Shen Xinyan saw that a smile instantly appeared on his face.
The next moment, he seemed to be whispering something to the two thin men beside him, and then squeezed out of the crowd with big strides.
"Did brother see us?" Wei Yingzhi asked in surprise.
"He should have seen it." Yun Fu nodded to confirm her guess, "At this moment, he should have come over."
After only a moment, the door was gently pushed open from the outside, and Wei Chenglin's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Drink a sip of tea and rest for a while. With so many people today, you must have been busy all day long." After everyone met each other, Shen Xinyan poured a bowl of tea for her son and said softly.
"Thank you mother." Wei Chenglin took a few sips from the tea cup.
"There are people coming and going on the street. Although there are officials patrolling, you just have to be careful. Don't wander around. The mother and fourth younger sister will entrust you to a few of you. You must ensure their safety, you know?" After all, there is an errand In the body, Wei Chenglin didn't have to stay for long, he gave a few words of worry, and then said to Wei Chengzhao and Yunfu with a serious face.
"Yes, big brother/brother Chenglin, don't worry!" The three of them were in awe of him, and upon hearing this, they immediately sat upright and replied seriously.
"Be careful when you are on errands." Shen Xinyan didn't dare to keep him for too long, so she hurriedly told him a few words, and then watched him leave.
The little ones were eager to go to the street to watch the lanterns, but Shen Xinyan had already passed the age of joining in the fun, so she simply stayed in the house, and let the four of them go downstairs happily.
In an instant, only Shen Xinyan and Chunliu were left in the box.
"Master Hou is about the same age as the fourth girl, and he grew up together. Hasn't Madam ever thought of bringing them together?" Chun Liu held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
She had this question when she heard Madam and several young masters pressing about Master Hou's marriage just now.
Shen Xinyan shook her head and smiled: "Ying'er treats Yunfu like a younger brother when she urinates, and I'm afraid it will not be easy for her to have a male-female affection for Yunfu. Besides... the imperial concubine would not agree to this marriage."
"Why? Our four girls come from a famous family, and they are not bad in everything, and they are the most legitimate first-born girls. What reason does the imperial concubine not like?" Chunliu was puzzled.
"Sometimes I don't agree to a marriage, not because I don't like the other girl, but because I think they are not suitable for each other. I know my daughter, Ying'er De Rongyan is not bad, but she has been doted on since she was a child. , although I have become more sensible in recent years, but this temperament is a little more straightforward, and it is not a problem to be the head of the family, if you are the wife of a clan, there is still something lacking."
"What's the matter? With the intelligence of the fourth young lady, she taught her well, what kind of clan wife is not a clan wife, is it possible that she can't be a clan wife?" Chunliu didn't think so.
Shen Xinyan laughed dumbfounded.
"You're right. She's intelligent. If you want to teach her, you can be a clan wife. However, the imperial concubine's understanding of her is already solid. If you want to change it, it's not easy. Besides, the Duke and I I don’t want to see her take on such a heavy responsibility for the rest of her life.”
When her daughter was still young, she and Wei Junhang had reached a consensus that the future son-in-law should not be the eldest son and only son.
