Chapter 69: Pregnancy News
The Wu family has a thin population, and in addition to Wu Ying and his wife, there are also Wu Yanyi and Xu Caikui.
At this time, they entered the door to greet each other, said hard work to each other, and after a greeting, everyone had time to look at each other: the Xu family's Sheng family, in order to show their attention to the Wu family, they are all dressed neatly and brightly dressed today. And the Wu family is probably also considering that they are going to meet their in-laws today, which is quite decorative.
Wu Ying is also said to be nearly half a hundred years old, but he has a fair complexion and an elegant temperament, although there is still a bit of sickness between his eyebrows, obviously after the previous serious illness, the recovery is not very good, but he still looks much younger than his real age. However, his wife Cen is said to be younger than Wu Ying, but she is already full of hair and wrinkles, and she is not like a husband and wife with Wu Ying, not to mention a mother and son, at least a brother and sister.
But Wu Ying obviously attaches great importance to this wife, and when she talks, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are gentle and caring for Cen's.
Sheng Weiqiao saw it in his eyes, nodded secretly, and said in his heart It seems that this Wu Ying is not the kind of person who sees things differently, as the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, Wu Yanyi should also be a good husband?
However, after looking at Xu Caikui's complexion not far away, I always feel that it doesn't seem to be good?
"Maybe it's because you're tired from the journey, right?" Sheng Weiqiao felt a little strange at first, but seeing that Xu Caikui was talking to Nan Shi and the others in a calm tone, and her husband Wu Yanyi next to her also paid great attention to taking care of her, and the little couple didn't seem to get along well, so they thought, "Xiazhou can only take the land route to Chang'an, but it's bumpy! Moreover, there was an accident in northern Xinjiang, and Xiazhou was so close to the border, it is estimated that they will be somewhat frightened along the way." ”
Especially Xu Caikui's courage is not very big, after all, I heard that the Queen Mother had a grudge against Sheng Weiqiao, so I was afraid that the Xu family would be involved. At this time, I heard that Ruru violated the realm on a large scale, so I went up and down?
On this day, it is estimated that she was not the only one who noticed Xu Caikui's cowardly color, because after the luncheon, without saying a few words, the Sheng family and his party said goodbye with "not disturbing the rest of the Wu family who came from afar".
After going out, Sheng Weiqiao saw that it was still early, thinking that Rong Sleeping Crane was very busy these days, and he was also alone when he went back at this time, which was not interesting, and after obtaining the consent of Mrs. Sheng and others, he called Sheng Weirao to go to the palace of Mizhen County with Sheng Weiyu as a companion.
After arriving at the county king's mansion, the three sisters laughed for a while, and Sheng Weiwei decided to go to play on the fifth day of junior high school.
Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weirao were not very interested in the fifth day of the junior high school, so they accompanied her to the courtyard of the fifth year of the junior high school.
"Then there's nothing wrong with the Wu family, right?" After saying a few inconsequential little things, Sheng Weirao suddenly asked in a low voice, "I see that Cai Kui's face is not quite right, it is said that although she came out of the cabinet a year earlier than you, she is still a newlywed at this time, why is there a little depressed in her expression?"
"Not really, right?" Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise when he heard this, "Are you tired of traveling?" After all, Cai Kui grew up in Chang'an, and Aunt Nan certainly follows Xu Baomo's strict teachings, but she is very fond of Cai Kui and Cai Fu sisters. This pampered is used to it, maybe it is because I went to Xiazhou and was not accustomed to the water and soil, and I am too tired to rush back all the way here?"
Sheng Weirao pursed her lips, signaled the maids around her to spread out, and then said: "Second sister, the uncle is a serious person, and the eldest aunt is also a good housekeeper, so there are few maids in Chengchun Tai, even if there are occasional, they are all sent away by the uncle or aunt just after showing their feet." Now the second brother-in-law is also a dedicated person, so you probably haven't noticed that the two maids around Mrs. Cen are a little special today!"
Sheng Weiqiao heard her say this, thought about it carefully, and said: "Those two maids are also fair-skinned, and their appearance is far worse than Cai Kui!"
"That's not the point. Sheng Weirao shook her head and said, "Do you remember what they wear? Although it can't be compared with our personal maids, it is also good material in the eyes of ordinary people." You must know that their Wu family is not richer than our family, and everyone under them can wear a Qiluo. Moreover, except for those two maids, the dresses of the other subordinates are obviously different! Even the maids who pick sunflowers to marry are not as good as them!"
When she said this, a look of disgust appeared on her face, and she paused before continuing, "I have seen this situation a lot before, that is, before my father wants to accept a maid, he will give some good clothes, suggesting that my mother will do it! Of course, the second sister also knows that my mother is definitely unwilling, but the maid is happy, for the sake of the heir, my grandmother will nod, so my mother has to nod...... Ruoliu and Fuyan are in this position. ”
"But those two maids are following Mrs. Cen?" Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "Maybe Mrs. Cen is planning to add people to Master Wu?"
Sheng Weirao said: "Then Lord Wu doesn't look good yet, what is the difference between stuffing people for him at this time and urging him?"
After the words came out, he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate, and he blushed a little.
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao was also out of the cabinet at this time, and when he heard the words, he put it aside after a little embarrassment, and guessed: "Maybe it's Mrs. Cen's own person, so it's extra decent?"
"If you are a mother-in-law in your thirties and forties, you can still say that she has followed Mrs. Cen for many years and has a deep relationship, and her treatment is not the same as that of ordinary servants. But those two maids are only fifteen or sixteen years old, where can they be considerate of Mrs. Cen?" Sheng Weirao shook her head, but she didn't continue, "Forget it, the left and right family came to Chang'an this time to live for a long time." Cai Kui's parents are here, and she really suffers a loss, and she is not afraid that no one will find her back...... Anyway, let's go to live in Zhuangzi outside the city, do you want to bring the fifth day of the new year?"
Sheng Weiqiao was right to think about it, and when he heard this, he said casually: "The fifth day of the first month is a fierce beast, and it is too inconvenient to bring it in and out, right?"
"I advise the second sister to take it with her. Sheng Weirao covered her mouth and smiled, "You see that there is it, how much trouble can we save trouble? Otherwise, the seventh sister can make trouble all the time, and our brains hurt! Besides, this leopard is always confined to such a large yard, and it is strange to be wronged, take it to Zhuangzi, although it is impossible to let it run around, but the place is much bigger than here, and it can relax its muscles, right?"
"......" Sheng Weiqiao looked at Sheng Weiwei, who had knitted seventeen or eighteen garlands for the fifth year of the junior high school and dressed up in colorful colors, was silent, and said resolutely, "I will ask the person who takes care of the fifth year of the junior high school if there is still Mizhen, can the fifth year of the first year withstand such a toss, they said that I will bring it!"
Then the sisters said some trivial things, seeing that it was getting late, but Rong Sleeping Crane had not come back, Sheng Weiqiao left the two sisters to eat, and then personally sent people to the carriage, and sent Gongsun Xi all the way back to the Sheng Mansion.
After a long time, Gongsun Xidu returned to the palace of Mizhen County to resume his life, and Rong Sleeping Crane was still nowhere to be seen.
Sheng Weiqiao was sitting on the soft couch under the west window with Twelve Niang in her arms, touching it for a while, and watching the little maid sitting on the foot in front of her doing needlework.
When he saw Gongsun Xi coming in, he asked, "The third sister and the seventh sister have been sent back?"
Gongsun Xi nodded and didn't speak, Sheng Weiqiao asked again, "Why hasn't Mizhen come back yet?"
"The county king is busy with government affairs these days. Gongsun Xi said briefly, "I think there is something official that has stumped up." ”
Sheng Weirao sighed when she heard this, and said in her heart that she didn't know when this busyness would end? Otherwise, it would be boring to be alone at home every day.
"If he doesn't see anyone in the future, I will simply take my third sister and seventh sister over to stay with me for a few days!"
First, in addition to the title of Rong Sleeping Crane, the officially appointed official position has come down, and it is the history of Yizhou Thorn, and he will take office soon;
Second, Princess Gaomi learned the news last night, and out of concern about separating from her beloved youngest son, she decided to summon her little daughter-in-law to give advice.
Sheng Weiqiao, who hurriedly got up and dressed up, complained while urging Jinli to comb her hair quickly: "This is too sudden! Mi Zhen had already told me that she was going to the Western Xinjiang, but it was delayed, and I thought that I might be going to spend the summer in Chang'an today......! It's a mess!"
Jin Li smiled and comforted her: "It's the best, which shows that the county king's plan is going well." ”
Sheng Weiqiao thought about it, and Jinli said, "What's more, in Chang'an City at this time, you still have many relatives to walk around and greet you, that is, the princess and princess, and you have to be filial piety during the New Year's holidays." However, after going to Yizhou, with you and the king of the county as your respect, it's not the same as in our Nanfeng County before, you can live as you want, only others follow your share?"
"It's as if I'm too lazy to go to the elders to pay respects!" Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, "And that place is at ease, and there is no parent, but it is also lonely." ”
"If you want to be lively, why don't we buy some kabuki belts like at home?"
The Sheng family didn't give Sheng Weiqiao a marriage kabuki, and Sheng Weiqiao didn't think about it himself, but after listening to Jinli's words, he thought about it and said, "It's just that the itinerary is so urgent, and I don't know if it's too late?"
"It's definitely in time. Jin Li said, "You think we will know early in the morning that this Chang'an will not stay long, and the luggage or something will have already begun to be placed." Besides, Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world, and almost all idlers have a group of people who can sing and dance. Then there will be no shortage of people and places that sell this kind of thing, and ask the steward to find it, and there is nothing that cannot be bought. If you are afraid that you won't be able to buy excellent ones in a hurry, then buy a few more, they are all trained in special places, and there will always be a few that can be put on the table. ”
Sheng Weiqiao nodded: "Then you will explain this matter later." ”
After all, after going to Yizhou, even if she doesn't need Kabuki to relieve her boredom and allow sleeping cranes to entertain banquets, she will not need it in vain.
After saying this, Sheng Weiqiao also hastily cleaned up, boarded the car with the hibiscus fence, and rushed to the Gaomi Palace, listening to her mother-in-law's teachings.
She originally thought that according to Princess Gaomi's attention to Rong Sleeping Crane and her dissatisfaction with herself, she would have to be beaten today. As a result, the world was unpredictable: Princess Gaomi had just opened her mouth to say a few words, and someone came to tell her in a panic, saying that the Qi family was not very good, and she wanted to ask the princess to come over to have a look.
Princess Gaomi was not satisfied with her younger daughter-in-law, but she was a hundred satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law, and she couldn't take care of Sheng Weiqiao when she heard the words, so she walked towards Cuihuang Courtyard without saying a word.
Sheng Weiqiao, like the princess, had a respectful attitude towards this mother-in-law, but she had a good impression of her sister-in-law Qi, and hurriedly followed when she saw this.
Along the way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were well-born and accustomed to slow movements, both walked and had a good style, but they took three steps and two steps to Cuihuang Courtyard, and asked the imperial doctor who had arrived first, only to know that it was actually good news: Qi has it again.
