Chapter 159: Letter from Home
Since the Spring Festival, Murong Wei and her aunt's two cousins have moved around a lot, and they have also visited their cousin-in-law Liu in the old mansion, and they are very close to her aunt's family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Because she hosted the poetry meeting with Chen Zhihua, Murong Wei was more intimate to her second cousin. This time when she came to the Yuping Mountain Palace, when Murong Wei wrote a letter to her mother, she did not forget to write a letter to Chen Zhihua.
Chen Zhihua set off for Beijing with his parents in a hurry, because he was worried that there would be ice floe in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so he walked half by water and half by land. Because it was cold and frozen, and the New Year was approaching, what I saw along the way was very depressed, and the scenery was not the same as what Murong Wei saw.
Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuxi and other places were Chen Zhihua's journey all the way to Beijing. The ten-mile prosperous territory, due to the cold and sparsely populated, added a sense of gloom, Chen Zhihua sighed in his heart, and also told Murong Wei about the scenery and customs along the way.
In the winter of last year, Jiangnan, which has always seen rare rain and snow, was full of snow, sprinkling salt and flying flotsam, Chen Zhihua was snowing all the way, and he was also worried about the fate of his father and the entire Chen family, and his mood was even more worried, which was very different from Murong Wei's trip.
In the spring of March, the grass grows and the kites fly, and the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, which is simply a step and a scene. In the letter, Murong Wei detailed everything she saw along the way with her cousin, and recalled the hurried itinerary in Layue with her, and each letter was written very comfortably.
Mentioning Mrs. Anguo's intention to watch the Qionghua in Yangzhou on the return trip, knowing that they would stay in Yangzhou for a few days, Chen Zhihua spoke tactfully and made a small request.
In the letter, Chen Zhihua told that when he entered Beijing a few years ago, he passed through Yangzhou, and he was in a hurry because of the holy decree, so he couldn't stop, and only the eldest sister and his wife hurriedly visited their parents on the dock, and they stopped for only a quarter of an hour, and their parents deeply regretted it.
Chen Zhihua also said that it was cold at that time, and his parents were very worried because he saw that his eldest sister was coughing badly and her face was not good-looking. Later, although the eldest sister handed over the family letter, saying that she was fine, her mother was still worried from time to time.
The eldest cousin thought about it and the second cousin had the same thoughts at that time, and my uncle had been in the office for many years, and he didn't know whether this trip to Beijing was auspicious or evil, so he didn't dare to divide the hearts of his uncle and aunt with some trivial things, so he didn't want to say more.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, my aunt must be afraid of her eldest cousin Shuwan's forbearance and forbearance, and afraid that she will only report good news but not bad news, so she has a lot of concerns.
At the end, Chen Zhihua continued with a clear and clear line: "If my sister has time to return, I pray to see her at the eldest sister post in Yangzhou to comfort my mother's worries, and Zhihua is grateful." And: The eldest sister has a son under her knees, and her nephew is three years old, and she is naïve. ”
Chen Zhihua's letter was worded very carefully, and it had a deep meaning, and Murong Wei read it several times before she understood the meaning of the letter.
In the first few letters from the capital, Chen Zhihua did not ask Empress Chu, but went to the official post station by himself, but this one, together with Empress Chu, took five hundred miles to expedite.
In fact, such a request is actually a letter from my aunt that is more appropriate, and my aunt is afraid that if she is rejected by Murong Wei, it will not be possible to turn back for a while, so she pretends to be Chen Zhihua's mouth and regards it as a private matter of the two sisters.
If the Chen Mansion really cares about the eldest cousin's body, the aunt is now the old lady of the second grade, and she has already gained a firm foothold in the capital, so she only needs to leave her confidant mother-in-law on her next trip to Yangzhou, and she is afraid that the eldest cousin's husband's family will not be high enough to receive the waiter who will be sent away?
The queen mother's letter from home in the past was also ordinary, and she did not take the road of 500 miles of urgency, this time she sandwiched Chen Zhihua's letter, and sent it in an expedited way, and it is not known that Chen Zhihua's meaning is the mother's instructions at all.
The situation in the court is delicate, and it affects the whole body. Since the queen mother wants to meet her eldest cousin in Yangzhou in a high-profile manner, I don't know whose face she wants to hit, and which tightly tightened strings are involved?
Murong Wei thought about it for a long time, and instructed Yingluo to grind the ink, first write a letter to her mother to report her safety, and then write a reply letter to her second cousin, saying that she would discuss with her aunt and stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, and she would definitely see her eldest cousin and go back to meet her aunt.
As for the little nephew mentioned by Chen Zhihuate, Murong Wei also wrote calmly: The nephew is about slightly younger than the fourth brother, and the nephew is as smart as his cousins when they were young. When my sister saw it, she told her aunt that she was childish and childish, and comforted the loving heart of her elders.
After writing the reply, Murong Wei put the two letters together and instructed Yingluo to find Xia Yuzhi to arrange someone to deliver the letter, and also took the urgent route, which seemed even more ostentatious.
The queen mother wanted to show that the Murong royal family had a great relationship with the Chen family, and reused her uncle to take on the heavy responsibility, probably knowing that she had wronged the Chen family for many years, and trying to make up for it slowly, which was also Murong Wei's wish.
Seeing that the twilight clouds were already outside the window, the sunset on the horizon was like fire, as if it had been smeared with heavy colors. Murong Wei looked at the magnificent scenery in the sky, changing in thousands of ways, and the beautiful scenery in the mountains, which ignited a strong sense of mission and wanted to firmly protect every beloved relative and home around her.
One person had a tasteless meal, and still invited the Xia brothers and sisters to come over, and the three of them chatted while eating, and Murong Wei said to Xia Yuzhi that he would stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, and asked him to inquire if there was a suitable post house near the eldest cousin's mother-in-law's house, so that it would be convenient for the eldest cousin to take the little nephew to meet.
For some trivial matters, Xia Yuzhi casually agreed, handed it over to the guards later, and ordered someone to go to the front station first.
After dinner, Yingluo took the tea and rinsed her mouth, and re-brewed the three of them with fragrant tea.
In the palace dormitory, Xia Yuzhi tasted tea and watched the array, and Murong Wei was still playing against Xia Lanxin.
Her chess style became more and more bold and ruthless, with a decisive decision, she landed the white zi in her hand neatly on the Moyu chessboard, gently lifted a few sunspots that were surrounded, and a smile appeared on her face: "Since you have long had the name of arrogance, why not do it again, so that the word arrogance is deserved." ”
The shadow of the birch candle is faint, charming and misty. Ask yourself, in the eyes of the Xia brothers and sisters, Murong Wei is just a little more delicate and casual on weekdays, but she is not as arrogant and domineering as the famous people in the powerful circles in Beijing.
Just like the out-of-tune farce of Wen Wu in Xiangyuan's Bofu at this spring's poetry meeting, there are always several times a year, targeting Murong Wei everywhere, whether it is a coincidence or a situation, there is no way to verify.
Xia Yuzhi also speculated carefully, and it seemed to be more intentional. I feel more and more that someone is manipulating behind the scenes, deliberately spreading such a reputation, in order to get a character like Cheng Su Duhan's gentle and elegant and jade-like character, and add to his words and deeds that already have a good reputation.
With such suspicions, with Su Duhan's blind coldness, Murong Wei's narrative about his previous life, and now hearing the secret of Yuping Mountain from Gu Chenxiao's mouth, Xia Yuzhi can no longer treat each other with a normal heart.
The flower carvings of that night were like a clear sweet spring, extinguishing his love for Murong Wei's youth and innocence. It is also a hot oil, which burns brightly, and makes his already high-spirited heart of loyalty to the country more and more tempered. (To be continued.) )
