Chapter 34 The wind and moon are boundless, and the flowers and shadows in the dreams are all drunkards.
"Sister Yan......" he called. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Her eyes widened and she was stunned.
"Sister Yan......" he called again.
This time she heard clearly, blushed, turned her head, and covered half of her face with a handkerchief.
"Sister Yan." He called again, "Sister Yan, if I call you like this, will you be annoyed that I am rude?" ”
Wei Yan said angrily: "If you are like this again, I will naturally be annoyed with you." ”
"But...... You're not just 'Miss Wei' to me......" he said sincerely, with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, this humble gentleman also came to tease him, Wei Yan deliberately said with a tiger face: "Young Master Xu, if you do this again, I will ...... I'll just ......"
"Yes, yes!" He hurriedly waved his hand, signaling her not to act rashly, and said with a smile, "If you don't like it, I won't call it." Miss Wei, we are at the end of the day, and I don't know how they will arrange the two of us. Why don't we turn around and go back to the shore, and then we will call someone to inform them, and wait for them to come and meet and go back together, okay? ”
Wei Yan looked at the sky, it was really late, so he nodded in agreement.
He no longer said some rude words on the side, but the few "Yan Mei" that he called at the right time, the voice was so gentle and affectionate, lingering like water, it was in his ears, one by one, echoing endlessly......
The boat floats quietly on the water, and the stars are reflected in the water, reflecting a pair of figures. He was at the bow of the boat, and she was at the stern of the boat, obviously far away, but in the water, it seemed to be leaning together. Xu Yuqin looked at the shadow and smiled, but he was reluctant to swing the oar, for fear of disturbing the shadows that were leaning on each other. The heart is full and overflowing with tenderness.
It turns out that ****, that's what it tastes like!
They returned to the shore, Ruyue was waiting there, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly put down the lantern in her hand, stepped forward quickly, and helped Wei Yan get off the boat.
Xu Yuqin instructed the little servant to take a boat to pick up everyone, and he saw Wei Yan sitting in front of the car, his face was red, and he was taking the tea handed by Ruyue......
Xu Yuqin lifted the lantern, stood in front of her, and asked softly, "But you're a little drunk?" I'm afraid they won't come that soon, so you might as well go in and sleep and stay outside. ”
Ruyue also said: "Miss, you are the most shallow, why did you drink a lot of wine?" ”
Wei Yan didn't answer, turned around and got into the car.
She leaned back on the soft pillow, obviously dizzy, but not sleepy.
At this time, a melodious and pleasant music came, she slightly raised the curtain and took a look, Xu Yuqin stood not far from her, holding a leaf in her hand. He actually made a musical instrument out of leaves, and blew such a unique music.
After careful discernment, it can be heard that he is playing a song "Zijin".
Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound?
Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?
Picky and heavy, in the city, not seen for a day, such as March.
……
Wei Yan's mind was very confused, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes closed involuntarily, and he really fell asleep.
After a while, a noisy voice came, and someone called to them from afar: "Yuqin, Yuqin......"
The people who fought for the ferry came back, laughed for a while, got into the carriage, and went back to their homes. Xu Yuqin and Wu Wenqian rode together, and only then did they go to the Xu Mansion after personally witnessing the Wei family sisters enter the gate of the Wei Mansion.
In the car, Wu Wenqian sighed: "Second cousin, my future cousin-in-law is really beautiful, and if people look at it, it is inevitable that you will be ashamed of yourself." ”
Xu Yuqin smiled: "You also came to make fun of us." Although Miss Wei is engaged to me, she is not yet married, and if you call her that, she will be annoyed if she knows. Zeming and they have played too much today, I'm afraid that next time, Miss Wei will not come. ”
The next time Huo Linlin posted again, Wei Yan really refused. Wei Dongkang didn't like her to show up again, after all, she was already engaged, and some other gossip came out, which was not good, so he repeatedly told her to practice needlework in the room and not go out.
And Wei Jiang, the second lady of the Wei Mansion, gradually became busy. She looks good, and she is generous, and several girls who played together in Aotoufang that day liked her very much, although she was a concubine, there was a sister who wanted to marry the prince's family, and her father was a scholar, but no one dared to despise her. There was a young lady of the family who was active, so she wrote to invite her to enjoy the flowers and see the rain, to do embroidery work in one place, and to talk as a companion.
At the end of April, a guest came to the Wei Mansion, saying that he had come to visit Aunt Qin, who had just entered the mansion. After Wei Dongkang returned, he actually met this person in person and talked for a long time in the study.
Ruyue felt strange, so she said to Wei Yan, "The master really loves Aunt Qin very much, and he also met Aunt Qin in person......
"I heard that Aunt Qin didn't buy it," Ding Xiang interjected, "It seems that she is a rich lady, because her father and brother wanted to befriend the officials in Beijing, and Tete sent her." ”
Wei Yan was combing her hair, and she asked, "Where did you hear these words?" ”
Ding Xiang said: "Madame has long said that Aunt Qin's background is different from Aunt Ping's, and the master has to look at her differently, so she is very kind to Aunt Qin." Every time the slave passed by Biyun Pavilion, she always saw Aunt Qin sitting under the porch basking in the sun. She is equipped with two big maids who serve closely, two servant women who are in charge, two rough little girls, and two errand boys, all of whom serve in her yard in a proper manner, and they are all decent, compared to the little fish in our yard! If others don't know, maybe they think that Aunt Qin is the young lady of our family! ”
Ruyue poked Lilac's head and scolded: "You mouth always likes to be nonsense!" What is her identity, and can she be compared with Miss? ”
Lilac was still not convinced, and said stiffly: "The slave is not wrong, the second lady in our house has a big girl by her side, and there are only two rough little girls." Aunt Cai personally nursed the second miss back then, so the second miss didn't even have a nurse and a grandmother. Aunt Qin's style, isn't it much stronger than the second miss? ”
Wei Yan said: "This is strange, she is a concubine, no matter what happened before, she should not have brought so many people into the mansion." My father already has two aunts in the house, so it is said that he favors one over the other, and there should be such a big difference. It's just that I pity Wei Jiang, I don't know how uncomfortable I should be. ”
Lilac pursed her lips and said, "Second Miss doesn't seem to have time to pay attention to this, I heard that today Miss Wang Jialiu posted a post and invited her to go to see the flowers, and went out early in the morning." The slave really doesn't understand, why the second lady has always ignored you, Miss, your own sister, but she can have a hot fight with the ladies of other families, and play together every day, closer than her own sisters! ”
Wei Yan shook her head with a smile and said, "You girl, if you really have a broken mouth, no matter who it is, you have to make up two sentences." Ruyue, why don't you transfer the cloves to the back kitchen, otherwise, maybe one day, she will even reprimand me. ”
Lilac smiled and said, "How dare the slave? Miss, don't transfer me away, I don't want to be with Mrs. Xu and them. ”
Wei Yan asked: "Why did Mrs. Xu go to the back kitchen?" ”
"Exactly." Ruyue said with a smile, "Madame is in charge, and all the people who made trouble with Mrs. Ji that day have been transferred to the back, so as not to make Miss angry." Those little girls who don't listen to the call are now in the courtyard, and they don't dare to come out, for fear of becoming the second mother-in-law......"
Speaking of this, her smile faded, and she was a little afraid when she thought of the way she looked when she died that night, with her eyes open.
Now in this courtyard, the matter of Ji Pozi has become a taboo, and few people will mention it. Ji Pozi's son and daughter-in-law came to make trouble a few times, but I don't know what Wei Dongkang thought of and sent him away. Ji Pozi's daughter is young, and when she mentions her dead mother, she only knows how to cry. And Ji Pozi's husband never showed up, as if Ji Pozi's death had no effect on him at all. Last time in the outer courtyard, Ruyue also saw him hiding behind the treasury with a few little stewards and touching cards.
Wei Yan thought of Mrs. Ji, and the expression on her face became a little heavy, Mrs. Ji's arrogance and rudeness really didn't make sense. She is a servant woman, even if her husband becomes the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and her son follows the youngest son of the third master of the Wei family as a scholar, and follows into the school in the Wei clan, according to reason, she should not be so arrogant that she doesn't even pay attention to the Cui family and Wei Yan. After all, the Cui family is the head of the house, and she holds the deed of sale of all the subordinates in the house.
She remembered very well that Mrs. Ji once said, "Even if it is your mother-in-law, the old slave wants to say something unpleasant to her in front of her, and she has to endure it with tears in her ......"
In the end, whose power is this mother-in-law, and what confidence does she have, so that the ladies of the Yifu have to put up with her?
She thought of Wei Dongkang coming at a hurry that night and stabbing Ji Pozi to death with a sword. Wei Dongkang is a master, and he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house, let alone deal with a mother-in-law in person.
If in the past, Wei Dongkang and Cui's relationship were harmonious, Wei Dongkang intervened in disciplining one or two Diao slaves for Cui's sake, and it would be okay. But since Cui's gave birth to a daughter and injured her body, she was diagnosed by Lord Qin and said that she needed to be raised for several years before she could conceive again, Wei Dongkang completely treated her coldly, and at the end of February this year, Wei Dongkang never returned to celebrate her birthday.
Wei Dongkang's performance is really strange.
Wei Yan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know who to ask to understand. Ji Pozi took out her mother several times and said, which made her very uncomfortable, and she always felt faintly that these things seemed to have something to do with her mother. But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of a reason.
She thought for a moment, found an excuse to take away the cloves, called Ruyue over, and whispered a few words.
A trace of doubt flashed on Ruyue's face, and she wanted to persuade her, but seeing her resolute attitude, she had to nod her head in response.
After a few days, Ruyue walked into the room quickly, closed the door tightly, her face was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "Miss, it turns out that the son of Mrs. Ji drowned in the river a few days ago!" ”
