Chapter 60: She and I Are Betrothed
"Mother, I'm back." A thousand words can't compare to this one.
I haven't seen him for seven years, Wei Lai has stepped from a teenager to a young man, except for a very inconspicuous scar on his forehead, he looks taller and more handsome than when he left home. But for Aunt Wei, the past seven years have made her move from middle age to old age very quickly, and the beauty of her youth can still be vaguely seen on her face full of vicissitudes, but it is impossible to ignore the more and more wrinkles.
Her mother's old age was a little unexpected for Wei Lai, and she suddenly felt a little guilty. She stayed too long when she was in the capital, and she was entangled for too long on the return trip, from the triumph of the Dingbei Army to the present, it has been four months, and it took her four months to come back! Obviously, after returning to Beijing, she only needs to take a leave of absence, and she can rush back quickly, and other things can be said before visiting her mother, in that case, half a month's work will not be used, but she has taken four months......
Aunt Wei was already red-eyed at this time, but she couldn't suppress a smile on her face, and she didn't seem to know what to say for a while, and finally just muttered: "Okay, good, just come back." β
Seeing Aunt Wei like this, Wei Lai actually wanted to rush over and hug her and cry. Seven years is not seven days, the battlefield is not a random place, how much suffering Wei Lai has suffered, how many injuries she has suffered, and how many grievances she has experienced, only she knows. She thought that her mother was homesick and wanted to come back, and this obsession has supported her to this point, and when she finally saw her relatives, she had a tendency to burst the embankment.
Fortunately, reason is still there, so even if the circles under her eyes are red and tears are already rolling in her eyes, she can't bear to cry. His lips trembled slightly, and even his voice was hoarse: "Mother, the child is not filial......"
Wei Lai's appearance was seen by Aunt Wei, and her heart was even more sour, and she finally couldn't help but secretly wipe away her tears. It's just that there are more neighbors around, and she doesn't want Wei Lai to show a weak posture in front of outsiders, so she interrupted her and said, "Okay, Ah Lai, go home, let's go back and talk about something." β
"Hmm." Wei Lai nodded with red eyes and did not object, only responded sullenly, and seemed to have forgotten that the horses and carriages that were still parked in the crowd behind him were about to follow Aunt Wei into the door.
It's normal to reunite with your relatives after a long absence, and forget everything else for a while, and it's not too much for Wei Lai to express himself like this. But at this moment, the coachman, who was still blocked by the crowd outside the yard, saw it, but he was suddenly anxious, and the honest man who had been silent all the way couldn't help but shout: "Eh, General Wei, etc., and my young lady!" β
It's a normal sentence, but it feels quite informative in the ears of the people around me. First of all, the sentence "general" can be regarded as breaking Wei Lai's identity, she has been on the expedition for so many years and rode back on horseback, and she is really prosperous. The second "Miss", regardless of whether the two are married or not, but since the person has followed Wei Lai back to his hometown, it proves that everyone's previous gossip is probably not far from ten.
There is more than one Wei family in Changning Town, but there has never been a general in the town for three hundred years! The biggest official people here have ever seen is the county master, but what's wrong with the general is bigger than the county master, right?
After the people around were surprised, they were honored, and then they were more enthusiastic. One by one, the people who were already about to disperse quickly turned back and surrounded the Wei family's small courtyard again, just wanting to take another look at Wei Lai...... Or, I want to see what the legendary shogun is like.
The coachman probably didn't expect such an effect, and after being stunned for a while, it took a lot of effort for the boss to finally drive the carriage to break out of the encirclement and squeeze into the relatively spacious courtyard of the Wei family.
Wei Lai cleaned up his mood after hearing the shouts of the coachman, and when he saw that the carriage and the horse had finally entered the yard, he took the initiative to stand up and say a few polite words to everyone at the door, and promised that he would invite the neighbors to dinner later, and then he sent everyone away. When she closed the courtyard door and turned around, she saw her old lady who wanted to speak and stopped, and her heart suddenly "groaned......
*****************************************************************
It's a long story. In addition, He Zhi got out of the carriage, and Xi Qiu followed her into the house, even if the coachman was still in the yard, there were more outsiders in the house, and the mother and son had some things that were really not suitable to say in front of others.
On the other hand, since He Zhi got out of the carriage, Aunt Wei has been staring at her openly and secretly for a while, even the most insensitive people can detect it. He Zhi naturally found out, and she also knew that Wei Lai's mother was curious about her identity, but if Wei Lai had not confessed, she could have said that she was Wei Lai's fiancΓ©e, or she could claim to be her future daughter-in-law, and then get along with Aunt Wei like a mother-in-law. But now, what can she say other than say hello to her elders?
I thought I had figured it out and started to learn to let go, but I was just deceiving myself.
Miss He was a little melancholy, but she still greeted Wei Lai's mother respectfully with a polite smile: "Hello aunt, I have been disturbed a lot this time. "It's more than polite, but it's close to you and I don't know.
Aunt Wei was a little restrained when she saw He Zhi like this, she didn't even know the identity of the other party at the moment, and naturally she didn't know how to deal with it. So I can't say anything other than asking her not to be polite.
After a while, Aunt Wei suddenly thought of something and said, "It's just noon, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'm going to make some for you. After speaking, without waiting for the others to react, he hurried to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Wei Lai didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly followed.
The fire that was lit at lunch was not completely extinguished, and it was easy to regenerate. After Wei Lai entered the kitchen, he glanced at it casually, but felt that the kitchen had not changed from seven years ago, and he felt a little emotional, but he consciously squatted on the edge of the stove to make a fire like seven years ago.
When Mars started and the fire grew, Aunt Wei cooked the rice, and Wei Lai consciously went to the side of the board to cut vegetables - she had been dancing with a knife for seven or eight years, not to mention anything else, she was good at knife work.
"Ah Lai, that Miss He, who is she?" There were only two mothers and sons in the kitchen, and Aunt Wei finally asked. She still remembered what Yang Dahu said before, "Uncle Wei came back with his daughter-in-law", and she also felt that Wei Lai came home with a girl who had not left the pavilion and was not simple.
Wei Lai's hand that was cutting radishes shook and almost missed it. After that, he suddenly came back to his senses and quickly put away his knife, but there was silence for a while. Because at this moment, she didn't know how to explain He Zhi's identity to her mother - was she the eldest lady of the He family? Or is it her fiancΓ©e who Wei came to marry? What was already complicated seemed to have become more complicated because of her confession.
After hesitating for a long time, Wei Lai still considered and spoke: "He Zhi is the only daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials. She...... When I was in the capital, I made a ...... appointment."
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the plate in Aunt Wei's hand fell to the ground and shattered. Kneel and beg to return to the field
