r v * y ɋ ?x 9 Ob˧ > } Q H* >P Sf, the sun is shining, the blue sky is clear and clear, as if the freshly dyed water blue satin, the slightly hot summer day hangs in the air, the bright light falls, the people who only stab can't open their eyes, the pedestrians who come and go have already changed out of their summer thin shirts, between the steps, coming and going, only secretly saying that the weather is more and more unbearable.
At this moment, a carriage slowly stopped at the west corner gate of Cui's mansion, the curtain was lifted, and a maid walked down, then turned around and stretched out her hand, and saw a young woman leaning over slightly, putting her hand at will, and walking down with her skirt.
As soon as he stood still, Wei raised his head slightly, looked at the silk lamp with the word "Cui" hanging in the distance in front of the mansion door, and then looked down, and he could see a tall shadow wall through the open corner door.
Wei was supported by the maid and walked forward slowly, when even if someone came to greet him, Wei's head was opened, and the person led him to walk inside, through the flowers and willows, and walked through a hall, he saw the courtyard where Mrs. Cui Yuan lived from a distance, Wei's hand holding the silk handkerchief couldn't help but clench slightly, and a few hesitations and complexities appeared in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, Wei lowered his head slightly, and when he raised it again, there was no hesitation.
Came to the front of Yuan's house, the girl under the corridor immediately smiled and opened the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei for Wei's, Wei's gentle bow, and then walked in, until the back room, I saw that Yuan was sitting on the edge of the couch, talking to the girl next to him.
Hearing the voice, Yuan and the girl both turned their heads, and when they saw Wei who bowed down with a smile, Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly helped Wei to stand up.
"Quickly ask Mrs. Zheng to sit down. ”
Listening to Yuan's instructions, there was already a girl beside him who moved a delicate rose chair up, Wei sat down with a smile, straightened out the skirt, and heard Yuan's voice say: "I'm afraid I'm tired all the way, it's hard for you to come to see me in such a hot weather." ”
Hearing this, Wei raised his head with a smile, and his eyebrows were full of kindness: "Yuan Zhen is now far away in Xuanfu, and I am alone in the huge house, and I feel empty every day. ”
Yuan nodded in understanding when he heard this, and then said with a little comfort in his words: "Yuan Jin's reputation in Xuanfu is gradually rising, when the old man first saw him, he felt that he would be a talent to be created in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Yuan seemed to have fallen into the memories of the past, with an easy-going and friendly smile on the corner of his lips, but his thoughts seemed to drift away.
"Men protect the family and defend the country, we are women, we can only sit at home, take care of everything in the house for them, pray for them, and wait for them to come back in the future, when the old man went to the south to quell the rebellion, I was still pregnant with Ah Wan, when the body was still two months, he left home, and when he was about to give birth, he had not yet returned home, no matter how strong a woman was, she was always fragile when she walked through the ghost gate, and I prayed every day, praying that he could return as soon as possible, and watched the child be born. ”
When Wei heard this, his eyes couldn't help but be touched, and he couldn't help but blurt out in his words: "Then, Master Shangshu can come back when you are about to give birth?"
Feeling the daughter beside him comfortingly holding him, Yuan gently covered the girl's hand and patted it, and then turned to look at Wei who was full of anticipation, his eyes were full of the love of the elders.
"The day of the labor pain, but the child in the womb has not come out for a long time, presumably Ah Wan was also a persistent child at that time, stunned in my stomach for a day and a night, the pain I even had no strength, and the surrounding mother-in-law and girls were also scared, but God blessed, the day the master rushed back, Ah Wan finally fell to the ground. ”
Wei couldn't help but nervously pick up the handkerchief when he listened, until the last sentence was said, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that Yuan looked down at the girl full of love, Wei couldn't help but look at the beautiful Cui Zhiwan and said: "It can be seen that Ah Wan is distressed by his wife, and he must let Master Shangshu and your wife share the most difficult and joyful moment together." ”
Yuan nodded in agreement when he heard this, and said with an unconcealable smile on the corner of his lips: " Therefore, this daughter is the mother's intimate little jacket, do you know, the night Ah Wan was born, the wind and rain were fierce, her father was wearing a military uniform, and he didn't even have time to change when he returned home, and he drove for seven days and seven nights, so many years, I still saw him so unkempt in front of everyone for the first time, the bloodshot in the eyes was almost a pair of red eyes, looking at it made people's hearts hot, and then he hugged Ah Wan, under the dim light, a big and a small father and son, actually made him such a hard person also shed tears in front of everyone. ”
Thinking of this, Yuan couldn't help but take a breath, gently pressed the slightly moist corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief, and then laughed and said, "Look, the more you talk about it, the farther it goes." ”
"This is the first time I've heard my wife tell you the story of you and Master Shangshu in the past. ”
Wei pursed his lips and smiled, then looked at Cui Zhiwan, who was listening silently beside Yuan's side, and said: "Now that Mrs. and Lord Shangshu have come to enjoy the blessings of Qing, the eldest prince is now married and has a career, and he is about to become a father, even our Ah Wan is going to get married, Chen Jun Gongzi, when this name is mentioned, I don't know how many of our daughters are tempted by it, but now they are about to become our Ah Wan's husband, and I don't know how many people are envious." ”
Hearing Wei's smiling words, Cui Zhiwan couldn't help but tilt his head, his cheeks were full of redness, but between his eyebrows was the girl's shame and joy.
"Yes, when I see Ah Wan's marriage, my wife can be regarded as really relieved. ”
Wei saw that the atmosphere was just right, his eyes moved slightly, and when he raised his head again, the corners of his lips hooked up a natural smile and said: "The weather is just right these days, Yuan Zhen has been gone these days, I always remember this in my heart, so I want to go to the Wuzhen Temple outside the city to burn a few incense, pray for him, and hope that he will return safely as soon as possible. ”
Yuan is a person who has come over, knowing the inseparable love of young couples, thinking that he was like this when he was young, his heart was slightly touched, so he looked at Wei in front of him, and he was also very considerate and said: "That's good, now I'm not busy, then I'll find a good weather, let's go together, I'm just right, go to burn incense for the house, moreover, I made a wish for Ah Wan in Wuzhenguan before, and now the wish is true, and I should thank the real person for the blessing, and the sincere wish is." ”
Hearing Yuan's smiling words, Cui Zhiwan naturally understood what the wish was, so he pursed his lips and was silent, and Wei on the side saw it, his eyes relaxed imperceptibly, and then he said more happily: "Then I will personally come to invite my wife." ”
"Ah Wan will also accompany you and Mrs. Zheng to go. ”
Seeing that the matter was decided, the girl's abrupt insertion of words made Wei's body pause, and he was about to speak, but he saw Yuan turning his head and saying to the girl: "Now that you are the person to be married, it is always not good to go out and show your face, you will be at home to embroider the female red who will marry the Xie family in the future, and it is good to have a mother." ”
Yuan's words were also reasonable, so the girl didn't say more, Wei watched from the sidelines, and then a heart that had been hanging for a long time really fell, because he was afraid of regeneration, he immediately interjected with a smile: "I have never seen Ah Wan's embroidery, I don't know if it's possible." ”
"Ah Wan's embroidery is clumsy, and I am afraid that my wife will laugh. ”
Seeing the humility in the girl's words, Wei's eyebrows were full of praise and said: "Madame's embroidery was famous in the Jingling Boudoir back then, and Sister Awan's embroidery only inherited half of Madame's, which is enough to compare our lame embroiderer, don't be humble." ”
With a smile, under Yuan's chin, Wei and Cui Zhiwan supported one by one, and the three of them went to the girl's room to see the half-embroidered happy pillows.
